Why are you running without any traffic sense?

-ls it so urgent? -Yes it is

l am going to the Police Station

You're also a policeman l can tell you

Dead sir! Murdered, sir! What are you blabbering?

Who's dead and who killed?

-lt's him -Who is it? Tell me correctly

l've come 3 furlong in 34 seconds

How can l tell in detail?

Who's dead and who killed? How do you know?

Radio Engineer Rajan is killed!

l am his neighbour My name is Chinnaiah

-Let's go there quickly -Start the Jeep

-This is Rajan's house murder took place in upstairs -Ok, come

There!

He is dead but no relatives around him

Look there That bungalow is mine

How did you observe the happenings here from your house?

l didn't observe that

l was in the upstairs and heard the gun shot

l came to inform the Police

What were you doing in the upstairs at that time?

That is not important

Engineer has dead instead of pursuing the case..

l will find out his relatives

Follow him

Note down what l say

Steel box is open

There is a generator inside

There is a revolver near the corpse

Dresses are arranged in suitcase

Bundles of money are there

Call the Police Doctor and arrange for post mortem

Why call the Doctor? Since Rajan is dead, call the lawyer

We know what to do

You went to call Rajan's relative where are they?

They are in the backyard

They're hesitating to come here Can you come there?

Observe what l said

Be here don't allow anyone inside

She is Rajan's wife

Her name is Usha

Shouldn't have lost such a respectable person at an young age

Only good human beings are troubled

l am pained to see you

ls this your child?

l have no child

Our only child died some years ago

This is my sister Hema's son

This is my child l am brother's wife of the deceased

-Did you stay here last night? -We are all living together

-Then where's your husband? -He was here

l just informed Police But information has reached you before

-Who are you? -l am Rajan's brother Pattabi

On hearing Rajan's death l was shocked!

So could not inform police l regained myself now and informed

l was worried about you. Why didn't you tell me?

Ok. Shut your mouth

She's showing a fake concern

l need to talk to your sister-in-law alone

You all go out

One more thing

Mr.Pattabhi, expecting a bomb attack many are leaving the place

You might have also thought about it

But should not go until the case is over

-That means? -You should be in this house only

We will do whatever you say

Do you expect me to tell you separately. Get out

-Do you want anything? -lf, so l will call you -Get out

-Don't go home. Stay in the Jeep -Ok, sir

-One request -What?

-l will change my clothes and come -Ok

l am pained to question you..

..but what to do, it's my duty

lt's alright

What do you think of the murder? Are there any beneficiary?

l am confused

Who'll benefit from his death

Does he have an enemy?

l don't see any enemies for him

Do you think that any of your relatives would have done it?

lt won't be like that They were affectionate to him

He has done nothing wrong to anyone

ln the business field many were jealous of his stature

But for that will they murder him?

My suspicion is! -You can tell me without any fear

Using the air strike chaos someone might. . .

. . ..have intruded into the house

My husband could have resisted them. . .

. . .from taking money and

They might have killed my husband

Don't ask me further. l am confused

Sorry for the trouble You may be right. Bye!

Where has he gone leaving the door open?

Revolver is missing! How did it disappear?

Who might have taken it?

Revolver has disappeared

ln a few moments, chairs would disappear!

Tables would disappear!

Then at last yourself and me

-Who is that? Oh! Sivanandam. ls itYou?

Yes. Did you think its a demon? Same Sivanandham

The other day you are courageous Didn't l make you..

Yes, you made me shiver

-Where is the Constable -Have sent him to get cigarettes

How did you come here? Who informed about murder?

Rajan's brother Pattabhi came to Police Station

Other lnspectors have gone to assess the air strike damages

-So they've sent me here -Why did you hide behind the curtain?

Don't take C.l.D Sivanandam lightly l hid there to scare you

l am scared already The revolver is missing

l thought of finding the finger prints from the revolver

Revolver is here! Checked it!

There are no finger prints murderer has cleaned it

Checked it so soon! l was checking it behind the curtain

-What do you think of the murder? -Could gather nothing about the murder

lts funny that you can't gather anything

-Rajan has no enemies, no family problem -That means

Don't panic

After bomb strike Rajan might've packed his things to leave

At that time someone might have intruded and seen the money

Seeing the money he might have jumped for it

Rajan might have thought of shooting him

lntruder might have obtained the revolver and fired at him

Should have escaped with whatever he got

lt's an ordinary case work of a thief

No. lt's not a simple case either How do you say that so confidently?

l verified with Bank pass book that was on the table

Yesterday Rajan had withdrawn all. . .

. . .the money but no money is missing

lntruder has not touched the money Will anyone leave the money untouched?

Who informed you first about the murder?

Neighbour Chinnaiah! He is also here

Don't move from here!

Take care of everything Take the necessary photographs

Towards Swaraj (self rule)

You have confused the case

Your thinking was in order but the case wasn't

-What is this packet? -This one!

l have taken articles from Rajan's room. What is that?

Don't panic Everything will unfold soon

Are you working here? -Yes sir since Rajan's childhood days

-Was he patriotic? -No sir

Then national leaders photos are here Moreover Savarkar, Thilak's books are here

Those are Usha madam's books She is patriotic

You may go

What to do now?

l have seen some finger prints in Rajan's boots

Send them to finger print experts. . .

. . .l want the reports in the evening

One more thing. . .

. . .get finger prints of suspects and every one here

Chinnaiah get into the vehicle Let's go to the Police Station

Why me?

-Don't worry, only to file a statement-Who is he?

C.l.D.Sivanandham Come let's go

That's my house, you can get the statement there itself

-Chinnaiah is this house yours? -Then?

Yes, l was born and brought up in big houses only

My ancestors had built lot of guest houses in many places

Was lnterpreter Chinnaiah Pillai your great grand father?

Yes sir

There was a rumor that he was involved in a murder in Burma

And made a lot of money out of it

What are you saying? People would blabber out of jealousy

He was not involved in any of those things

He lived as a gentle man

lf at all he had done that what can l do

l don't know before whose face l woke up

Should be the mirror That's why all these trouble

Don't worry What car are you having?

Except Buke Car l don't go into any car

l am a gentleman

When you have a car why did you come running..

..to make a police complaint?

Only now l realise it l didn't come in car

l ran without any idea

You didn't see the shooting

By hearing the gun shot How did you know it was Rajan?

lt could have been someone else also

lt could have been just a sound

Was it a mistake on my part? You saw Rajan's dead body!

That's the surprise Without seeing, thinking..

How's that your information is correct?

From this, its clear you were expecting this to happen

That too with a reason That's why as soon as you heard..

..gun shot you decided it was Rajan. ls it true or not?

-Yes sir, l was expecting this -The reason for expecting it?

-One day.. -When?

One week back l went to bath near the well

Heard a loud noise near Rajan house's backyard

l can't forget what l saw and heard

l have waited patiently for four years

You are giving me the same reply

When are you going to part with my share of wealth?

Partition should have been done before father's death

Ok, don't disturb

Disturb! ls seeking my share a disturbance to you?

You don't know what tortures l am facing

Whenever you return home you give lot of gifts to your wife

But l am unable to gift anything to my wife

Whatever your wife gives she has to wear it

Though l have wealth, l stand as a coward before my wife

-l didn't ask you to be a coward -You only made me a coward

Cowards and Poets are born, not made

l am frustrated but you are making fun of me

Pattabhi don't shout. Neighbours might make fun of you

Not only neighbours everyone is laughing

Don't blabber. Have l ever refused money to you?

Who are you to refuse money? Why should l beg?

Give my share of wealth What if l refuse to part?

-You will see for yourself later -Pattabhi don't dance to your wife's tune

lf partioned, you will destroy the wealth in one year

What bothers you?

l won't feel sorry if you lose the wealth

But l can't allow your in laws. . .

. . .to destroy the wealth until l am alive

You are not going to live forever

l am not a man if l don't succeed Don't take me lightly

Patient man's anger is a fire. . .

. . .Ready to lose my life or take yours

On hearing it l came to know the issue

Do you think Pattabhi has done this murder to get his share?

lt's not like that they would have quarrelled regularly

You would have gone to backyard to overhear

-Please be quiet -Japanese bombing Chennai was expected

Rajan must have known this..

..and prepared himself to leave

When bombing started he must have prepared to leave the place

When he was about to stack the money his brother might have appeared

What are you doing here?

Brother! You are very clever Where are you going?

l and Usha are leaving to Calcutta

Your family is moving to a safer place

Congrats!

lt's not for safety reasons Got an urgent work in Calcutta

Excellent!

l have a work in my father in law's place -What's there? -lts my wish

Then who will take care of the cattle and the house?

lf you will leave the city on a pleasure trip..

..l and my family would die of bombing..

ls that your plan?

lf l die you can enjoy the wealth fully

lsn't it?

You are 'Lord Rama' for brother's affection

You are here as 'Baratha' (mythical character)

You are blabbering

lf you want to go to father in laws house, go have this money

Who want this money? Give me my share

You have chosen the best time for partition

l have to go to Calcutta

You go out of this room

l am not going out and l am not going to allow you

You have gone mad Your wife has brought you to this stage

She did not make me mad Only your attitude is making me mad

Alright, go

How dare you push me? You think l am a coward

Look what this coward does

-Drop the revolver you fool -Who is a fool?

You are going to die With this l am going to enjoy wealth

-Not from you. l'll acquire it myself. -Are you kidding?

Only this would have happened No doubt

Thanks You've been a great help..

..by giving a lead

He has not only given lead but shown murder itself. Come

-What is it? Where are you running? -ln search of Pattabhi

-Why? -After you left Pattabhi sir was restless

-He saw you speaking to Chinnaiah -Then

Left the house, towards the sea shore -Then why didn't you stop him?

l was in upstairs when l saw him going

At this stage he might harm himself

Leave me, why are you holding me?

You are thinking of committing suicide

-Why shouldn't l? -lt's against law

What can law do to a person who wants to commit suicide?

Yes, why would you bother?

-You're a murderer! -Murderer? Me!

After killing your brother you want to drown yourself

First give me your statement on the murder issue

l don't understand -lnspector feels you have killed Rajan

-That's a lie -Then tell me the truth

lf you have not murdered why did you come here?

You have come here knowing that we have tracked

l hate this life

There is a family for you then why do you hate life?

Only because of my wife l didn't understand my brother's value

-Come lets go to your house -l am not coming

-We won't let you here -You can take me wherever you want to..

..but not to my house

You should go to your house first.

No need, l've suffered enough Don't aggravate my sorrow

Don't take me to the place who is responsible for the murder

Responsible for your brother's death! Who is that?

l wont tell you, do whatever you want.

Ready to die, won't tell you anything

Regarding partition, didn't you've disputes with your brother?

You had a quarrel regarding partition You told him in the car shed

Patient man's anger is a fire

To get my share l am ready to lose my life or take yours

-Who told you all these things? -lts not the issue

You just told that those who are responsible. . ..

. . .for the murder they only told me

Then Hema should have told you or else. . .

. . .how would you know that l am here?

-What you told now is correct -She had done it and put the blame on me

After a car shed incident..

..we had a quarrel in dining hall, didn't she tell you?

-You tell me what happened -l will tell you

l need to tell for departed soul to rest in peace

Though my brother's family is in upstairs..

..we dined together in ground floor

l was reading paper in the next room

My brother came early for dinner

Usha, bring me food

She is not here,gone for shopping

l saw the quarrel you had with my husband in car shed

Your behaviour towards your brother is bad

You are earning in many ways But he is not talented like you

What he has got other than his father's wealth?

You are there! ls that not enough?

lf l was not here you would have created more troubles for him

Are you not ashamed to treat him like this?

-Should l have food or leave the place? -As you wish

Hema, what is the trouble? Shut up

What are you doing? You are courageous only to me

lf you are gutsy l need not speak about it

-Are you a woman? -Yes, but with guts

-Stop it! Demon -Yes

Demon's brother's wife is a demon

When l am here why did you ask him?

Don't you have no respect for him?

What have you gained in respecting him?

Your sister in law also spoke to him about partition

He had asked her to keep quiet by saying let the concerned people talk

So only l opened the matter l am involved so asked him

Was it the way to talk? Should be patient enough

Waiting will not solve the problem only chopping will!

Many say Japanese will be bombing the city

lf it happens your brother will flee to Calcutta or Bombay

Then whom shall we ask? For our child's sake we need wealth

What have you achieved in quarreling?

Will l not achieve it? l am not like others

-l will achieve what l intend -Yes, l will achieve what l intend

Yes, l will achieve what l intend

What's this?

Are you mad? You've no control over anger

ls there no time frame for waiting?

lf your brother dupes you again l will deal with him

l am bestowed with a good wife

Whenever she rages she loses control

She will throw whatever she gets Break whatever she comes across

She behaves violently she is hysterical

ln that state she is not responsible for what she does

One day she had slapped me!

Did you hear it?

What? Slap on his face! Be quiet

Has Hema committed the murder due to family dispute?

She might not have done that wantonly

She has been talking about partition for the past week

On the day of bombing she was restless

lf she is enraged she doesn't stay normal

ln the morning she might have gone to my brother's room

She would have been agitated. . .

. . .on seeing the currency notes

What l thought has come true l was expecting this

Why did you come here so early? On seeing you, l feel you are sick

Where are you leaving so secretly? Tell me that

-How does it bother you? -l need to guard my husband's wealth

-Don't ditch him -You only have ditched him

He is still hesitating to talk to you

Let it be any reason, please go out!

You are sick Go and take rest

l will go only with the money

l am not an ordinary woman Don't think you can fool me

Be careful, you are holding a revolver

What l hold is our money!

After shooting him down she might have gained consciousness

She would have realized the mistake

ln despair and panic..

..she would have left the money and came out of the room

She would have left the money and came out of the room, is it?

She could have killed me!

Constable, take Pattabhi near the jeep

-lts confusing -No its interesting

Now we have a lady villain

Don't play? We are guardians of law

Sorry Don't you understand me?

Go and get Pattabhi's statement

-What about you? -l'll enquire Hema. You come later

Are you Hema? -Why? What do you want?

l want your statement on the murder

Are you a plain clothes police man?

-Yes! -Take the child into the house

l am C.l.D. Sivanandham

Came here to get your statement

What if l refuse?

We thought you will not refuse lf refused, got to go

Then, you may go

Could you tell me what you think of the murder?

l don't think anything l do what l feel

How dare you talk like this to a police officer when a murder has taken place?

You could understand what sort of a person am l

Not only that l know you lost consciousness

-And broke a glass in dining hall quarrel -Do you think l committed the murderer?

What a woman!

-What did you say? -Nothing

Like my husband you also suspect me

That am l the murderer?

-ls your husband suspecting you? -Yes

He has been accusing me since morning

He is not believing me. lf you are also going to decide like him

You can proceed legally

l didn't suspect you But suspect your husband

Didn't your husband quarrel often over partition issue?

One day in the car shed didn't he tell that a patient man's anger is fire..

..and to get the things done he will do whatever he want?

The argument in the car shed might have led to the murder!

Mr.Sivanandham, your perception is wrong

lnspector have you recorded Patabhi's statement?

Yes, got the statement he is in the station

ls my husband in Police station? He's innocent, won't harm any creature

Why did you take him to station? -We know what our duty is

lts atrocious! ls punishing an innocent is the law?

lf he is innocent, then you tell the truth

Please release him, l will tell the truth

How cane we release him without taking your statement? You accept the charge

Naidu, don't blabber. When there is strong evidence how can we release him?

Let's go

Please wait l will tell the truth

Ambujam must have done this murder

Who is that? She is a dancer

Please go to the station and release my husband

What was the relationship between Rajan and Ambujam?

Why should Ambujam kill him? Explain in detail

lts our family issue l can't tell that

l've told you the name you can find it yourself

Ok, l will enquire Pattabhi about this

He doesn't know anything about this

l've never mentioned about this to him

Ok, l will ask Usha

Please don't ask Usha She doesn't know anything about this

She has high regards for him

Don't hurt her feelings

This is not the right time Let the things come out on its own

You don't want us to question Usha. You aren't telling anything about Ambujam

Then what else shall we do? We will have to proceed against Pattabhi. . .

..with whatever evidence we have got

Ok, l will tell you -That is the spirit, tell me

Ambujam must have committed the murder, listen..

..four days back

l was on the way to the temple to pray on my child's birthday

l crossed a park

l could not believe what l saw

Were you waiting for a long time?

l am waiting for years Half an hour doesn't matter

-Why are you frustrated? -lts not frustration, just telling the truth

l am not happy about my state For how many days should l. . .

..meet you secretly l cannot tolerate it anymore

What happened? -Earlier you used to meet daily. . .

.and write letters regularly. But now meeting once a month is difficult

You are not supporting when a woman would need most

You do not know my problems

l am facing a big trouble now

Rajan l know that your wife is affectionate towards you

But l don't want to betray her My affection for you. . .

. . .and my situation doesn't allow me to think an alternative

What do you mean?-l am going to deliver yours baby in few months

-Really-Yes. My wish is that the baby should not be. . .

..without a father at the time of birth

You should marry me We can't delay

Do you think that l will desert you?

Prove it in action. Let us go somewhere and start the life afresh

l shall be everything to you l will obey you

Come with me Don't desert me

Marriage can't be done in haste Why are you in a hurry!

We met accidentally and fell for each other

-Wait for sometime -l might wait but not the baby in my womb

l am confused l might become mad

l don't know what to do. Don't keep me guessing, give me clear answer

Don't touch me l want your decision within three days

Life or death all depend on your answer

lf love becomes bitter it will not hesitate to murder

Rajan has not only spoiled our lives but also hers

How can Ambujam enter house without your knowledge?

Couldn't you hear gun shots?

We cannot know what happens in the upstairs

You tell me -When Japanese bombing started everybody were..

..packing to leave their houses Ambujam being a pregnant woman

..must have decided to meet Rajan . . .

. . . in the early hours.

On seeing Rajan packing his things she must have been worried

Rajan without telling me where are you going?

Who asked you to come here? l am leaving the town

Then you are not taking me What about me?

How can l take you? l am going with my wife

After you desert me should we die?

For woman death seems to be easy Did l ask you to die?..

..l will come another time and do whatever you want. . .

Another time? You are sure another time won't come

Keep it that way l have got no time to quarrel

Your promised that will never desert me Even told me no one can match me

Were all these words a lie? -l don't remember what l said

l don't want you to suffer. So keep the money till l return

Do you think l am a prostitute? -Then who are you? you are a prostitute

How can you tell me? l wasn't looking for your money

When we first met you were not wealthy

When Guberan promised me wealth

l respected love for money and came to you.Have you forgotton that?

Now you can go and live with Guberan

Don't desert me even if you don't love me

Think of our child and take me along with you

l can never do what you say

These are all the letters you wrote lf l make it public

What will they think? Will not they think that you are a cheat

With these letters l can drag you to the court

Go to the court by order of the court if you win. . .

. . .my love you can do it

When were you in love? What you had were lust

By dragging you to court l may not win your affection

But establish that you are the father of my child

That child after growing up will understand about you

-Return the letters -l won't

Don't go l will take you

Will you return it or not?

You love these letters more than the love for me

Even after making me suffer do you want to murder me?

Your denial is making me do this Had you given it earlier..

Your words have already killed me

So your revolver cannot kill me

Before your betrayal these bullets were small

You need not fear these letters

Take this rubbish

A murderer can leave his finger prints. . .

. . .but lovers should never leave their letters. l understood

l love you very much

Can l ask you a favour?

Ask only what l can give

Allow me to touch your feet

-You can leave happily with this ticket -Ambujam

According to me, this must have happened

-Mother -What Babu?

-Come here -Coming

ln Tiruchi there is a lake which flows spirally

Our case has also become the same

lt is 12'o clock and we have not arrived at the case

What's the matter you have started reading the book

Hear the story of a. . .

. . ..few blind men. . .

. . .who tried to feel an elephant

When l am talking of filing of the case you are singing!

Naidu wait! the children's story books are always interesting..

with lot of meanings in it There was an elephant in a town

ln the same place there were few blind men

They went to see the elephant. . .

. . .and were touching it

One who touched the trunk said it was like a wooden bar

One who touched the tail said it was like a rope

One who touched the ear

Said it was like a big plate! What's the matter in it?

Chinnaiah thinks Pattabhi might have killed for wealth

But Pattabhi thinks Hema might have killed in anger

But Hema thinks Ambujam might have done it

But we are not able to decide

What are talking? Why are you still here?

Trace Ambujam quickly before she elapses -Give the address we shall leave

Once Rajan gave a letter to Ambujam through a boy

lt was addressed to No.15 Thoni Street She must be there only

No.15 Thoni Street -Sivanandham lets go

Then when will you send my husband? -Don't worry he will return safely

15 Thoni Street

Where are going? why are you in a hurry?

Don't ask when l am leaving l will tell you later

-Shall l make a move? -Alright

She has escaped What Hema told is correct

lf somebody comes we will enquire What sir? Whom are you searching?

Who are you? l am a servant in this house

When did the woman in the house vacate? -Why are you not answering?

-She! -Boy, when did Ambujam vacate?

Only half an hour back she left in a hurry

-Where? -l don't know sir

Come, let us search her

Where to search her in the big city -then should we keep quiet?

No we will go the station -l need to enquire you come with us

Give the film roll to photographer and ask him to print

Then go to finger prints expert..

..to collect negative of the finger prints

Hand it over to me do it quickly Take the jeep

Where did you get the film roll? -from Rajan's suit case

lf we had been earlier Ambujam would not have escape

You only wasted time on elephant story Come Shanmugam

lnspector is coming along with Sivanandham

Can you tell me Ambujam's identity?

She is fair, age would be around 18 height!

5 feet tall

Her nose is similar to sir's nose good looking

What you speak is clear so no need for any comparison

She was wearing green saree wearing lot of jewels

Naidu send Ambujams identity marks to Police Commissioner Office

l will call and inform Railway Police

-As l have told you everything l am going -Constable

-l shall go, no need to accompany me -Put this boy in that room

-There are lots of bars in it -Make him sit in the other room..

..the boy is smart be careful

-He is trying to blame me for his mistake sir - Come inside.

Having damaged his cycle by coming in wrong side

With a expired license How dare you talk?

There is no dearth in talking who is not talking?

One who goes in the street says some one has lifted and says he

Had seen the lifter the person who had lifted

Says he doesn't know how to spell 'lifting' in a grammatical fashion

Politicians are applauded only if they speak for six hour without a refreshment

People don't come to watch movies if it has no ferocious dialogue

ln this country people are used to oratory and hearing

Don't mistake my talking?

This nation has become talkative

What's the matter? You are talking too much

l am on a urgent work you are troubling me l am going

With mistake on his side this man is talking pompous words

Madam please tell the inspector otherwise they won't believe me

You are sure that lnspector won't believe you

Those who believe will not ruin..

-. . .is the words of Old faith -lts enough

-That's Ambujam madam -Where are trying to run?

We were looking for her from the morning..

She is Ambujam -Let her be anyone. l won't leave

You talk like a constable-Hey

Ambujam is the name she's fair 5 feet tall

wearing a green saree and jewels. . .

. . .her nose that's all right

lf you notice any one similar inform us then

Noted everything give it in the Police Commissioners office

-Sir -Tell me

There was an accident -l am driving for 15 years

Was never involved in a run over dashing or being in one way

lf at all l go and an accident occurs l won't stop there

When constable came l didn't escape from this itself

You could understand that l am not an offender

What is the date today? lsn't it 12?

For the past 15 years..

1 1 months, 29 days. . . l have been riding cycle

Was never involved in an accident or been caught for doubles

Without lamp, pump or air. . ..

l've never driven a cycle without a free wheel or bell either, even if..

Being a educated man why do you lie?

Sir he is saying that l am a liar Am l a liar? Never never

ln many accident cases l accepted. . .

. . .and paid the fine voluntarily

Nothing is know here if you want to know anything

Call the Egmore police station and they have all the details

l will dash police jeep . . .

. . . Buke car Panja,Roseland. . .

Or an aeroplane but not the small cart

What's the commotion? Take them away

-Don't disturb for another half an hour -Half an hour!

l need to go urgently

We have also got an urgent work one lady has escaped..

..after committing a crime We're trying to trace her

Shall l give the statement to constable and go?

Ok. Take them with you

-Sir, she is.. -who is she?

She is Ambujam

Ambujam 5 feet tall, green sari

Please come here Sivanandham

-What sir? -Are you dancer Ambujam

-Yes -She is Ambujam

The cart in which she went met with an accident

Constable brought her here

God has brought her here

Just now you refused to talk but now you are talking something

-Were you leaving the city in a hurry? -l was going to meet Rajan

You seem to be a mischievous girl accept the murder and give statement

Who killed? Whom? -l am talking about Rajan murder only

Rajan got killed?

My fear has come true

What was your fearing for?

-This murder! -Yes

did you notice? Everyone were clear of the murder

Anyone can tell notions. . .

. . .but it is hard to establish facts

What's your notion?

-None except that rogue -Which rogue?

lt is a cracker He was the first to inform us of murder

He has pinched the child and cradled it How do you know about Chinnaiah?

ln my early days,Chinnaiah supported me

Spent a lot of money for me

He used to take me wherever he goes

He never wanted to leave me

One day we were on a picnic

Can't you chew properly

l like this ldlly dish

l eat so quickly

Ambujam give me water

lts empty l will get you now

-Do you want water? -Yes

-Have ice water -Give me

lt was timely help -don't mention

Will you leave its mine

-Your friends might be waiting for you -No, l have come alone

-Now you are my only friend -ls this yours?

lts sultry here. . .

. . .shall go to the other side?

lts cool here

We have a walk at least

l am tired after a long walk You may go

Ok. Oh God!

-ls he the shop keeper? -No l am his neighbour

Not a big business man like Chinnaiah Just an ordinary Radio Engineer. . .

ls that not enough? You are doing good

l like Radio

You've stopped with that Tell him about new radio l gave

lt would be good only

You've not introduced me to her

-She is.. -l am Ambujam

-l am a.. -l have found out

-You are a famous dancer -How do you know?

ln Nambathey magazine there was great article

Her photograph was printed in every page

The magazine was started by me for her publicity alone

With one issue-lt got closed!

yes l lost Rs.300 on that project

Mr.Chinnaiah being a gentleman

You can afford to lose for the betterment of these people

ls it? -Leave the money

lt's the wish of people like you and Chidambaram Lord Nataraja. . .

. . . blessings that's sufficient

Yes then your home town must be Chidambaram

Even though l was born and brought up in Chidambaram

Now l live in No.15 Thoni Street

l've disturbed you a lot Bye!

Bye!

-What? -Would you like to have some more ice water?

-No need -Good day

-Why did you tell your residence address? -What's wrong in it?

You are not obeying me -l am not your legal wife

l shall live the way l want

After some days, Rajan came to give me the photographs

Then he started coming regularly. . .

. . .after some time fell for Rajan

l got disgusted with my creed itself

Chinnaiah was angry with me

Because l told him that other than Rajan l could not think of any one else

One day

What do you say to this move? -Were you thinking for this move?

You have lost your queen is gone

Nothing is lost if l lose that queen l have you

When you are with me l forget my house

This is also your house only

Your business is good! What are you doing here?

-Should l tell you? -You need not answer

ls it fair to corrupt and spoil this innocent girl?

l do what l like. Nobody corrupted me

Liking it! You would!

l've given one bungalow in Kodaikkanal and one in Kuttralam

Were you in agony then?

ls it good manners to talk to a lady like this?

You talk about manners ls what you are doing, fair?

Do you've concern for a neighbour like me?

When you have an honest wife why do you come here?

l am in love with her Don't spoil it

We love each other No one can split us

Be quiet l am talking to him

ln this matter l will never heed anybody's saying

Will you get out? -l pay the rent for this house. . .

. . .Who are you to ask me to leave the house

l am leaving l will look for a new house

Think l have done everything for you

l have got whatever you want You were good

What happened to you? This man has changed you

What can l do? l love him

Do you think he loves you? He is here for past one..

. . .month did he get you any jewels

ln May month alone l gave you 10 pairs of bangles

Next month l gave Rs.2000 worth ear rings

You have forgotten everything now

Take these box keys

Take away all your jewels. . .

. . .and documents you gave and leave the place

Have you lost sense lf only Santhanalakshmi was alive

What if she was alive l have no love and can never be with you

l can't live without you forget Rajan we will leave..

...this place even l lose business also don't mind - Never!

-Until he's alive you wont accept will remove him - What?

Don't take Chinnaiah lightly lf l get a chance will kill him

After that Chinnaiah didn't return to my house

Every time he met Rajan. . ..

. . .had threatened him

-Didn't Rajan worry about these threats? -He wasn't

But l was scared.

That too aggravated after today's incident

What happened today?

Four days back we met in a park

requested him to accept me

Also requested him to leave the city

After yesterdays bombing l expected Rajan to take me so

l packed my things and was. . .

. . .ready sent a letter through..

. . .Shanmugam requested him to take me to a safer place

. . .and requested him not to elude me.

Did he deliver the letter -He said he delivered

But l get suspicious after hearing Rajan death

Shanmugam come here did you deliver it to Rajan?

Tell the truth -When l was going. . .

..Chinnaiah met me and asked me where l was going?

Told him that l am going to Rajan's house He took the letter l had

-Did he tear it off? -He read the letter and returned it to me. . .

After reading the letter he became gloomy

-What did you do with the letter? -Delivered it

-What do you mean? -What was in it. . .

Having read the letter Chinnaiah and knowing about our plans..

..would have went to Rajan's room

After reading the letter Rajan would have packed his things. . .

..to leave seeing this Chinnaiah would have pleaded to him

Rajan you leave the city but leave Ambujam

What's the use having money and wealth?..

..There is no happiness Without Ambujam l can't live. . .

...Don't take her with you -Mr.Chinnaiah are you not ashamed

-Don't agitate me by laughing -Laugh now

This would have happened l have no doubt

Constable get her finger prints and sent it to experts

You need to be here whenever we summon you-alright

You be with her and come whenever we call you

What Ambujam says must be true

He muffed when we asked him how he felt sure..

-..it was Rajan who was shot -Now l understand

He had duped us

-Did you notice a strange thing? -Even though the dead man. . .

..is killed in his room he was fully dressed with coat and boots

Everybody told us that he was starting to leave the city

Noticing the sand, grass and dust in Rajan's shoes..

..we can understand that Rajan had gone out of the house

When everybody were hiding due to bombing what work would've Rajan got

Was this the reason for getting Rajan's shoes examined?

Not only for that There are finger prints in the shoes..

..which were wiped by traces of tears. lt amazes me

lt should be Rajan's finger prints and traces of tears!

-ls it your assumption? -No its true

The finger prints in Rajan's shoes cannot be his

The finger prints are smaller than Rajan's finger

The finger prints on the shoes and traces of tears make me. . .

...feel that someone might have wept after his death

lf we say this in Court will they believe you?

-What if the murderer had wept? -Why should the murderer weep?

A person attached to Rajan might have felt for his action

-Will it be Pattabhi? -We can't assume anything now

What are you looking at in the bangles? -lts not ordinary one..

..l found it in Rajan's room

Will the murderer be a woman? Does Ambujam have these types of bangles

With these broken bangles, we can't leave Pattabhi and Chinnaiah from the case

Many in Triplicane wear these types of bangles

-lf you had noticed, your wife also.. -Stop it

What's this? -lt was taken from Rajan's table

lt's a radio's valve not an ordinary one

lt's a transmitter valve Why should Rajan have a transmitter?

-For what purpose? -l shall enquire them from Rajan's office

Also enquire about his salary, foreign contacts and research

-Constable gave this -Very good, wait outside

-Your helper is also dressed like you -What's in it?

lt's Pykara Dam

This is Mettur Dam

This is Papanasam Dam lt's Basin Bridge Power Station

When did Rajan photograph all these?

lt will be helpful to us if we know for what purpose..

..he had taken it and for what purpose it was in the traveling bag

These photographs are needed only for the air force department

Kudos Naidu

We will look at the finger prints

These finger prints were in Rajan's boots. lt's given here

This is Pattabhi's finger prints

What have you decided?

l am in a confusion. You are in hurry to know the result

When you inspected the bangles thought it would be a woman

Now you say it cannot be that way

You inspected the boots and still cannot decide

Are we back to square one?

Till we track the culprit we are in the same place

ls it?

You go to Rajan's office and enquire his life style..

..and send me a report. l need to study the case alone -Ok.

THOOKKU THOOKKl(Play) Allowing the whites has ruined

The nation sees Gandhi behind bars..

..Oh gosh! Such an injustice

Pandit Mothilal Nehru is lost

Due to Japanese bombing we are in chaos

Pandit Mothilal Nehru is lost

How dare you enter cunningly? Tell me, who are you?

How dare you enter cunningly? Tell me..

-Who's it? -Myself

ClD sir, l was singing some old tunes. What do you want?

-Give me a drink -Like to have a fruit juice?

Any drink. When every shop is closed you are open!

lf l close the shop my livelihood would get affected

Moreover my old friend Natarajan has come to act in stage plays.

-l was the one to admit him in the company -l see

ln those days l was with Gingin Kothandaram Company

-Had played the role of demon -Could see that

lf my name Demon Ramasamy Devan name is announced..

..the whole tent would shiver

l would appear on stage, look around. . .

..with a gentle spur over the moustache and say 'Soorpanagai..

Oh sister! Who dared to slit your nose?'

What's his name, place, address?

Enough, people might fear that Japanese have bombed again

You were feared. Natarajan is acting in 'Thooku Thookki' play

Look at these pamphlets. He is pestering me to sell the tickets

A special play 'Thooku Thookki'

Father is the one to earn! Mom is a mom whether she earns or not!

lf gifts are offered she is sister! Honest wife can also dare to kill!

Friend is a life saver! Kottayur Govindarajan as 'Thookku Thookki'

Natarasankottai Natarajan as the leader. . .

. . .Mandaveli Maragathambal as Queen

He delivers the dialogue nicely He is a small boy but acts well

ln the play of Manohara, in chain breaking scene..

..he broke the chain along with the screen

l don't watch plays

l lost juice bottles at least buy a ticket

Why tickets?

Give me that pamphlet

Father is the one to earn! Mom is a mom whether she earns or not!

lf gifts are offered she is sister!

Even small things are helpful Even squirrel has helped...

. . .to build the bridge in Ramayana Devil actor Ramaswamy who knows. . .

. . .you have also played a part in solving this murder

Rajan was a genius among my students

College students gave him a party before he left for Japan

As a principal they asked me to preside over

l predicted then that Rajan will become a scientist

You are so worried Then what about his wife Usha?

She was also my student She is a nice girl

l can forget Rajan but not Usha

-lt's because of an incident in her college days -What's that incident?

Usha is patriotic National leaders were arrested once

There was rioting everywhere.

There was a ban to hoist national flags at Government buildings and colleges

Somebody hoisted the national flag in our college during night. One of the..

..student named Ramu was a tough guy We charged and suspended him

Then?

Next day Usha came to me and confessed that she only hoisted..

..the national flag and requested to punish her

-l hadn't seen such an honest girl -Commendable

One must be courageous to hoist a flag in the post during night!

Was Rajan's brother Pattabhi your student?

Yes he was also my student, He is short tempered

Did Rajan have any enemy? l don't know about that

But Rajan was an extremist

He will do anything to get the job done

One night to finish an experiment, he jumped over the wall..

..broke the window glass and entered the Lab. He never thought it as a mistake

He was so engrossed in the research

Thanks Bye!

-Convey my condolence to Usha -Definitely

On my way l met Victoria college's principal Mr. Ranganathan

He was shocked to hear Rajan's death

He talked highly of you also

lt was past things why think about that?

Please answer to my questions. . .

. . .without any prejudice

Do you think Pattabhi might have done it in anger?

lt won't be like that

Our evidence suggests that the killer might be Rajan's kin..

..killed him in anger and felt for it else after killing him..

..would not have wept by holding his boots

Don't panic, lf you tell the truth it will be helpful to find the culprit

Pattabhi and my husband were in good terms

-Are you sure about this? -Yes, no doubt

We took some materials for examination from your husband's room

The list is here Can your please sign it?

We need it for office record your fingers got inked

Please wipe in it

Other than Rajan being your college mate..

-..was he related to you? -No

You liked and married him then he must have been patriotic

Not like that He was..

He was involved more in studies and research

Then both of you must have liked for some reason?

Sorry for asking all these . . .

. . .l am duty-bound lf you could tell something. . .

. . .it will be a relief for you

l met Rajan in a strange scenario

Being a mother less child. . .

. . .l was brought up in a free-living manner by my dad. . .

..he got me study in a college At that time. . .

. . .due to Satyagraha(Hunger strike) the national leaders were arrested

To protest, students held a meeting ln that meeting..

RELEASE CONGRESS PARTY LEADERS

Chennai Students Association Be calm!

All student delegates of Chennai colleges will meet today

Today's resolution should be like a law for the students

Not only for the Chennai students but my achievements. . .

. . .will be echoed in the whole capital -Very good

-Who are you? What's in your hand? -Donation box

Chennai Students Association Agitation Fund. All of you contribute

Agitation has started people have started vehemently

At this stage someone called Rajan a research scholar is..

. . .going to oppose our resolutions Are we coward to allow him?

-Our strike will continue -Our strike will continue

Rajan is Principal's agent. He studies in Government's scholarship

. . .and will have that mentality only

-ls everyone contributing? -Yes

Go, collect

Mother lndia, bless us

Mother lndia, bless us

Stop singing and go for collection

Leader has arrived

A problem has cropped up before the students' community

Our respected leaders have been arrested by British

ln this situation, whether to attend classes or..

. . .to boycott is what we have to decide now

-l would like to say few words -Your name?

-Veerappan -Mr.Veerappan will address the meeting now

Respected leader, friends and students

Coming from the students fraternity l am anguished. . .

l couldn't eat and sleep for last two weeks, l am lifeless

l am pained to see the nation crippled by the British Empire

Why should we be students? Do we need studies?

Why do we need college buildings?

Students who have self respect. . .

. . .will think about education after dislodging the British

-You are here too! -Rajan

Let us wipe out the secret agents among us, we don't need the..

. . .studies which leaves the mother land to suffer

Let's demolish the colleges, burn down books with imperialism and outsiders

-lmperialism -Down down

-Outsider -Down down

-Free scholarship -Down down

-Traitor -Down down

-Free scholarship -Down down

-Don't make noise -Don't talk here, why take risk?

Useless fellows Want to burn the colleges!

-Now Mr.Rajan will oppose the resolution -Be careful

You will see the same people clapping in support of me

Down with the agent of Authority Down with outsider's agent

Down with principal's agent -Down down

Respected Leader.. Don't talk get out with the British. Due to your shouting..

. . .British and myself are not going to leave -Get out

Please be quiet. ln democracy everybody got the right to speak

Mr.Rajan has also got the right. Sit down

l salute the leader Dear fellow students!

l salute for the reception you gave me

What a reception! lt was hot! There is no life without heat

Do you know who receive these sort of receptions?

They were accorded to great people 2000 years ago. . .

. . . one who showed the human a new way of life. . .

Socrates was greeted with a glass of poison

Later Jesus preached to show. . .

. . .affection towards fellow human beings, if enemy slaps..

..in right cheek show the left Don't be passionate towards others' things

He was crucified in a cross by the Jews for that

lf great people face such treatment then it's not surprise for..

..people like me to face opposition

What's wrong in accepting scholarships?

lt's a government's reward for my talent

Which student is studying with their own money? All are accepting money

..from parents. Being an orphan, l accept scholarship

Being a student l am denied to speak..

. . .but appreciate useless fellows Who is your leader? This Veerappan?

-This political owl? -Who is an owl?

lt's you. Like an eagle flying over graves. . .

. . .you use confusion in the society and make a living out of it

You are a political owl Don't jump, l have your history..

Which college's student are you? What have you to do with this meeting?

You have no invitation but you visit and spoil everything

He collected donations with your order

Who's he? What is his background?

-Which college's student are you? -Zoo college sir!

-Veerappan has no permanent job he is a loiter

This fellow feeds to Chimpanzees in the zoo

Are these people your leaders?

Why are you laughing?

At whom are you laughing? Your clapping should have some meaning

These people have never touched a pen or a book

. . .never been in the direction of school

He says we should demolish college, research buildings..

..the temple of arts and you applaud it!

Who is a student? What's patriotism? What is our relationship to nation?

Have you ever thought about it? Mill workers strike work..

. . .to make a decent living

Will this country become independent if you boycott the classes?

Will you leaders be freed?

We should be constructive By being destructive..

. . .can we bring disrepute to ourselves?

We should be creative

Should we be involved in political swamp? Student age is a learning age

There is no room for hatred and political upsurge

We should gain the knowledge to become the sculptors of lndia in future

We should get rid of ignorance

This country will not develop by shouting in meetings..

lt won't be fair on student community to. . .

. . .strike work or show hatred

lf l tell you to instill discipline and dignity

l am principal's agent Mind is an awesome power

..throught that we can turn country into prosperous. lf l speak out this. . .

. . .l am a traitor!

lf l express that, by doing varied business and studies..

..we should develop the economy l am called a traitor!

Parents spend their wealth and earnings for your study..

..and expect you to come up in life l am reminding you, am l a traitor

Don't want clapping or showiness

Think calmly, then come to a decision

Leader l would like to address

-Who's she? -She's Usha

What's your name? -Usha

Now Usha Devi will address you

The person who spoke before has changed your mind set

l don't have such oratory skill but. . .

. . .the clarity of thought is my forte By taking advantage

..of the entry of two outsiders he has confused you all

But Rajan has not spoken about our resolutions

He can't speak either because he is not a patriot

He spoke about knowledge and other irrelevant things..

..but not a word about national leaders

Our leaders sacrificed wealth and joy to get nation's freedom

They get arrested without investigation ln what way should..

..we show our condemnation Tell me

ls this the time for education and research? Let these 400 whites rule. . .

. . .these 40 million people and suck their blood!

Don't panic you instill thinking!

With air as food, hand as pillow, let people die young, you instill thinking..

Symbol of affection. . .

Let Gandhi, the grace of God, Light of Asia..

..be in prison, you instill thinking! This is what Rajan taught you

But l would like to ask one thing to Mr.Rajan

What he will do if his mother is in death bed?

He won't get disturbed or weep but will instill thinking!

He might even take up a research on death!

Don't laugh lt's a sad thing

ln the last 1500 years..

..we were only doing thinking

When Ghajini Mohd demolished Somnath temple..

..when Moghuls invaded, and British intruded. . .

. . .What were we doing? We were thinking!

By thinking and thinking we have come to this bad state

What we need is emotions, the courageous emotion!

We need the emotion about our country

Rajan even don't have the braveness of these girls here

Look at this volunteers have signed with blood..

..confirming their participation even if they are jailed or beaten

lf Rajan doesnn't have the courage like them. . .

. . .let him change his name

Mr.Rajan, wear this bangles -Wear him a sari

Usha Devi, l salute your womanhood

l salute your patriotism

Watching Rajan's exit..

..an unexplained emotions sprouted in me

When l felt that, he was insulted because of me. . .

. . .l felt regret for him

l hadn't meet him for months but l was..

..thinking about him regularly

One day when l came to my table to study

At that time..

..from my father's room..

..l heard a familiar voice of someone who was haunting me. There..

You should definitely help me for my project

There is no profit motive in it -l know nothing of radio..

..and l am not so wealthy either

-lt is pointless to tell me -lf l tell my plan in detail

You will definitely accept and would recommend to your friends also

Think of it. A radio for 30 rupees!

A radio each for clerks who return home working hard

A radio each for all poor workers

l will flood lndia with radios!

Let's meet my friends as you wish..

..and gather support for your plan

lf we do that and flood our nation with Radios..

..will it solve all our problems?

Earlier we had built tall towers

But now we're not strong enough to even to look at it

Even before civilisation reached other parts..

. . .we invented a health therapy and gave it to the world

Now we have become like blind, numb and moving dead bodies..

..and heading nowhere

lts all because of ignorance

ln the fields of handicraft, science, politics, health, agriculture, life style. . .

. . .our ignorance can be compared only to the Himalayas.

Only to expel the ignorance l am seeking radio's help

You talk just like my daughter

l have some work now we will study your project later. . .

. . .and then we'll meet my friends. Bye!

How come you are here?

lts my house. The person whom you were talking to. . .

. . .is my father -l see

-You are so patriotic -Not only that, l want to succeed in. . .

..my research and come up in life

l never thought you would have ambitions -Not only ambitions..

. . .l have enthusiasm and eager to win in industrial field

l want my name to be inscribed in golden letter in this country

Pardon me for the college incident that day

l forgot about it. lf your father can recommend about this project..

..l will be grateful to you

-l will do whatever l can -Bye!

Then Rajan visited my house often My father tried his best..

. . .but couldn't succeed in convincing his friends about the project

My father didn't have money to support the project

Rajan's plans ended in dreams but our relationship..

..transformed into love and ended in marriage

Sorry for troubling you

Both l and inspector will come at 6 p.m. We will try to nab the culprit

-Who's that? -Naidu speaking

l read your information, good Exactly at 6 p.m..

..bring all those connected in the case to Rajan's house

Bring half a dozen revolvers

Everyone has come They are in Rajan's room

-Rajan's dead body -lt's already sent for post mortem

-Have you brought revolvers? -Yes, kept it inside

What are you going to do? -Naidu l am confidant that..

..we will make the murderer accept the crime -lts impossible

Have you ever seen everyone telling a story in the case?

l suspect a person l want to make that person talk

l will enact a play for that l will do some surprising things. . .

. . .you shouldn't interfere l will ask you to arrest somebody

You should arrest without questioning

We may get into trouble by arresting a big person -Don't worry about that

What if the culprit remains quiet even after doing these things?

-We'll start the investigation again -Ok finish the case quickly

Everybody here knows about this murder They know to the extent. . .

They know to the extent of telling a story

Everyone suspects the other

Now l am going to do a small drama

lt has four scenes.

First scene is that l'll give everyone a revolver

lnspector, is it loaded?

-Yes, everything is loaded -Chinnaiah, come here

Take it

Pattabhi, take it

Stand next to Chinnaiah

l will stand next Revolver please

l am pained to trouble you

But you've to participate for the success of this play

Take it

Now the 2nd scene of the drama Think of me as Rajan

Starting from Chinnaiah l will ask you to shoot

You should shoot at me. What's the third scene?

Arresting! Arresting the culprit!

You need not worry the bullets are dummy

-Are you ready? -Ready

lt's alright, shoot

Sorry for troubling you

Are you educated How can she think of killing. . .

. . .her husband? See Hema has shot at once

Yes, Hema has shot at once lnspector arrest Patabhi and Hema

-Do you think l would've done this? -Come

Don't delay Handcuff them

lnspector, both of them are innocent

l know the real culprit

l and my husband were happily married

After some months he went to Japan on a business trip

My dad expired before his return

After some months, my child also died

To add the misery. . .

..there was a change in our life also

l came to know the reason. . .

. . .when l entered his room yesterday only to know the dangerous secret

l get disturbed if someone interferes in my work

What's the research? -l was speaking to Radio Engineer..

. . .Narayanaswamy of Thanjavur

He said he'll send cashew nuts and l was asking him when he'll send them

That's all Nothing else

What he says is not convincing

When the city has no electricity

Why should he work using a generator?

That too to call Thanjavur for cashew nuts

The suitcase is ready

ls he going out of station?

What's behind all these? Unable to understand

Where will it lead to?

JRA575 calling Japanese Rangoon Army -Japan!

The shining ear rings necklace. . .

. . .the silk saris you wear From where did you get money for this?

All are due to this Radio box

We owe all this luxury to Japan Government

Stop your oration Your speech is nauseating

Where the jewels bought out of spying?

This monstrous radio is responsible for all this

-l will wreck it -Usha

Has patriotism come to this level?

Don't think l will stop here

Don't think l will spare you

You are good in studies and intelligent

ls it fair on your part?

What pleasure do you derive in innocent children..

..and workers getting killed?

l derive no pleasure

For my plan to succeed if they need to die.l don't mind

Don't we wear foot wear, knowing that ants and flies in the path will die

ls this how a moral person treats his wife?

lt will be wise if you tie your greediness

l have waited too long for my success

lf someone is to oppose, even if it's my wife, l'll remove them

-ls destroying the country a victory? -What has this country. . .

. . .done to me when l was trying the projects?

Do you know what this Government. . .

. . .said to my radio project for...

. . .the rickshaw pullers land workers and accountants?

lt could have told me, it has no money to spare

They branded me as an insane guy and laughed. . .

. . . at my project and crowned me as useless

The project was not missed by our people but. . .

..by the British Government. Don't forget that

Whoever it be it's the Japanese who have respected my brain..

. . .l seek their help only for the removal of the Government

By accepting Japanese help our people will die..

. . .have you forgotten that?

Let them die. Do we have scarcity in population?

We have 40 million Due to Japanese bombing. . .

..if we are to lose 4 million nothing will be lost

Will it not be enough? lf we are freed with Japanese help

Let us pay 4 million people lives as a price for independence..

What's this barbaric trade? -lts not barbaric trade

lt's the law of the life. This is what the world history shows

ln France 100 of Lords were killed blood flowed in streets..

. . .created panic in Europe This French Revolution advocated..

. . .democratical principle throughout the world

From this, came the European political views which are still prevalent

Daily hundreds of living things die. . .

. . .from the deathbed new lives are created

History shows death and birth as cyclic

Who knows? After getting independence with Japan's help

we might show the world new horizon and new chapter

l have also read history but not one sided

lf you look at lndian history What's the truth it suggest?

When lbrahim Lodhi had problems with his brothers..

..they brought Babur from Afghanistan and instilled Moghuls

..rule in lndia the Britishers used the difference between..

. . .the Arcot Nawabs captured the whole country and ruling them still

To accept foreigners help is always dangerous

Will Japan be an exemption to it?

Many people like you in our nation believe that. . .

..to eradicate poverty and diversity and to follow suit of Europe and Asia.

..we should seek other nations help

But a true lndian would feel that..

..we should excel on our own and seeking their help would be dangerous

Without foreign help lndia won't become independent

l am sure

We don't need foreigners help

Usha ls this your patriotism?

lts not blind or opportunistic patriotism

What's the way to achieve freedom?

Without knowing value of freedom what's the use in having it

lndependence attained through in rioting and killing innocents

..doesn't match our propriety. lt's a coward's freedom.

lndia's treasure and . . .

..individuality is love. lts God's way.

lt's the path of love lt is the light of the nation

The principles were set by philosophers, spured by Buddha..

..Sankara, Ramanuja, Paramahamsa. . .

. . .and Vivekananda protected them.

This is what the Light of Asia, Gandhiji has..

..as an armoury. By destroying the light forgetting love. . .

. . .we need not achieve independence and wealth

Why a literate like you can't understand this?

Now l've understood that l was wrong in marrying an educated woman

Why do you laugh? What's there to laugh?

Are you not ashamed to be a spy?

Shame, lie, and conspiracy

. . .are supporters of life

The only thing to hate in life is 'defeat'

When Jesus was crucified Jews thought they won

Shut your mouth

Are you talking like this? ls it my husband who talks like this?

No! You are a stranger

You are not the scientist Rajan..

Whom l thought would be. . .

. . . an ornament in the lndian history. . .

..like Sir C V Raman and Jagadish Chandra Bose..

..you are not the husband whom l adored. You've shattered me

l am crestfallen

l was crestfallen earlier

You might think that l have cheated. . .

..but you don't understand that it's the country that has cheated me

ln this country there's no place for hard working and brilliants

This country is sick of hypocrites and posts

l know l can't change your conviction

l request you as l am your wife..

..in the name of happiness we shared together

..in the name of our dead child

Make a promise

What's that?

Tell me

You may go to Japan or Rangoon..

..but never return here where you've committed treason

Don't step into the place which you have destroyed

l will never return as ordinary Rajan

But as Ambassador Rajan or Governor Rajan

lf you also accompany you would return as Lady Rajan

The city which doesn't care about us now..

-..would respect us -Ok, what else is left?

Some more are left

Cashew nuts bags from Japan are due

Cashew nuts bags Made in Japan

The planes have come lts flying over the harbour

First bomb fired

Second bomb fired

Third one. . .

Planes are returning after bombing

What should l do further? Reply

JRA575 report damages after survey.

Do it right away

As told earlier, the submarine will wait 3 miles south..

..of Adyar at 6 'o' clock in the morning.

Bring the maps without fail, maps are important. Reply

This heinous crime will not be pardoned

lt will only lead me to a higher post

Have you have started to survey the destructions caused by you.

Can't you wait till morning?

Did you see everything? Are you happy?

What have you done?0

ls it more than what you have done?

Don't think you have won Will report in the submarine

Are you coming or not? -What have l to do with you?

l am not going to cry for that

l know you won't worry for leaving me

-Won't you worry about Ambujam? Ambujam?

Your Ambujam's letter

What's her state

Your state only

Hema used to tell that you are not trustworthy

For money and position you've betrayed the nation

With your animal instinct you've betrayed me

Your lust has made her pregnant Are you going to betray her too?

-Don't you've a heart? -l have no time to talk

You might have thought this to be an ordinary radio..

..but don't know the real purpose

See here these are shocking plans for your motherland

With these l'll avenge this country

l had plans for welfare of the country but the mockery they made at me..

..would become a fire to destroy them

See the picture of your motherland

ln every town marked here will be bombed every week

ln every dam if bombing is done the nation will be in floods

Tamil Nadu's rice bowl Thanjavur will be in muds

One bomb in Pykara One bomb in Mettur.

Electricity will be lost. Tamil Nadu will be in darkness. Food will become scarce

People and government would understand Rajan's brilliance

You will be chided by future generations

-Give me the map -Usha!

Leave the map

Have you understood why l asked you to come to Japan?

Your are wrecker of this nation -You picked the right word

l am a wrecker.

Life of the people oscillates like this map

Now l am a wrecker's wrecker

Your life is oscillating in my hands

Before you start to destroy l would destroy you!

Good lts no fun

ln olden days in Tami Nadu women killed their sons..

..if their sons deserted the battle field

-To salvage her husbands pride Kannagi destroyed a town -Good!

She destroyed the country for her husband

Have you decided to kill your husband for the country?

l don't want to kill you but to save you from..

. . . being called a traitor, destroyer and be chided . . .

. . .by the generations to come

You will be chided for the killings -l am ready to accept the charge..

Bombing of dams will lead to flood, famine, spread of diseases..

..and ultimately millions will die

To prevent all this l am ready to kill my husband

To prevent many women from becoming a widow

l am ready to become one

l won't live after you die

Do you remember?

One day at the beach..

lt was a pleasant evening

You told me..

..that you were in bliss

Even we were in distress the next moment

You were ready to even die that moment

You said so. But now do you want to kill me?

lf l wake up in the middle of night. . .

..you would check whether l am ill

Will you kill me?

You have been a mother, sister. . .

. . .and wife to me, will you kill me?

l am confused!

Don't press my hand. Leave it

l won't leave it -leave it Rajan

l will return the revolver

l won't trust you You are trying to fool me

-You will shoot me -Leave it. Don't press my hand

Don't press my hands Revolver will fire

ln few hours, my life turned revolutionary

My patriotism Threat to the nation. . .

. . .made me violent

ln that mood, l don't know what l did and what l told him.

l would have surrendered.

But l didn't want everyone to know. . .

. . . that my husband was a traitor

So l kept quiet.

l thought none would find out

But l can't allow innocents. . .

. . .to be punished

Though we've to arrest you..

..we salute your patriotism and courage

lnspector, your duty is pending

Where are the maps and files?

lt's inside the radio box

l will bring it

How did you know the murderer was Usha?

Took the finger prints of Usha without her knowledge

lt matched with those on the shoes. Not only that..

..when l told everyone to shoot everyone shot..

. . . but not Usha. Her consciousness showed

Then why did you ask me to arrest Pattabhi and Hema?

From an incident narrated by Ranganathan..

..she won't allow innocents to be punished

Hence l asked you to arrest Pattabhi and Hema
