'Welfare Society' Year - 1999

For the people of our caste...

...Mr Adhavan struggled throughout his life

To glorify his achievements...

...one day won't do

4 years back, he set up an union for our caste specially

And carried out many good schemes

A man with a heart of gold

But the brain behind this idea was our leader, Mr Ulagappan

To garland and welcome Mr Ulagappan our newly appointed chairman...

...I request our secretary Mr Kumar to the dais

Not even 15 days since our leader passed away

Why garland me?

Honor his picture first

Okay, before we look into the accounts of our union...

...let us discuss erecting a statue for Mr Adhavan

I've spoken to the concerned authorities regarding this matter

Choose an ideal place

And we can make the arrangements

Forget the place

Decide the town first

Let it be in our town

No, in our town, only then it will be the right choice

Muthaiya

I agree our new leader Mr Ulagappan is respected in quite a few towns

But Mr Adhavan is highly respected among the people of our caste in 22 towns

Listen to my suggestion

In the college in our town...

...opposite the opposition party member's statue

...if we erect a bigger statue it will be a feather in our cap

Fine, let us do that

But not because of your reasoning

Mr Adhavan was born here and he passed away here

Not to compete Not near their statue

Because 8 years ago caste issues instigated riots between us

If we do as you say looks like we are provoking them

That's wrong

'Parliamentary election date'

We must attend class today for sure

Don't be late

Anna, lower it down soon

Okay, see you during the smoke break

Yes, ma'am

Are you looking out for Agnes?

Shut up!

Do you still love her?

Excuse me, madam

Get inside

Cigarette behind your ear

The phases present the various temperatures

Its stainless steel

Its stainless steel various elements are added in a small percent

Usually less than 5%

What are you up to?

May I know what you want to achieve in life?

To enjoy life, be jolly

Same, to be jolly, sir

"Kantha...look at what life offers Million meanings hidden of course"

Baskar, give me some paste

Why don't we quit drinking?

Why do you throw a bombshell?

You think we are drunkards?

"Kantha...look at life's myriad views Not only black and white, many hues"

"Kantha...look at life's essence Million meanings in existence"

"There will be people In every town a handful"

"Look into issues good or bad In your own backyard"

"During college days, worries at bay"

"Our 'dhaba' is the venue for a conference and review"

"Kantha...look at what life has in store Kaleidoscopic colors sing an encore"

Without wasting time...

...make arrangements for our leader's statue

All taken care of, uncle Only need to order it

That too, cement, right? Will be done in no time

Okay, on my way back I'll get it from the 'dhaba'

Ramanathan

These people work part time and come here to study Engineering

Don't waste their time

Sketch looks good

But when will the statue be ready?

You wanted it as soon as possible

I'll finish it in 1 week for sure

"In our life too with a speed of summer lightning indeed"

"There are days which sting sharp as a needle under our skin"

"Creating such a ruckus Political drama surrounding us"

"If we ignore, we'll be good-for-nothing truly"

"Kantha...look at life's myriad views Not only black and white, many hues"

"Kantha...look at life's essence Million meanings for reference"

'College is like life, right?'

'Old batch gives way to a new one'

After we leave college you think we can meet up like this?

We must create our own opportunities

Wherever we are we will meet somehow

We'll book a room and booze all night through

Even if we are old and tottering we will have a ball

That's tough

If we are like this imagine how our kids will be

They will be avatars of Uncle Scrooge!

That's true

Quarter's son will treat him like a street dog and chase him

Get lost!

Why are you teasing him?

Don't get mad Take a puff

Don't you sell bells in front of the temple?

What are you doing here?

I came to eat

No food here Get out!

What are you looking at?

I told you to leave

Get out

Hey, come here

Won't you see who comes in?

I'll slap you

Hey! Clear out

Drag that man out

Hello, what if he comes?

He has money, right?

Then what?

This doesn't concern you

It concerns us 100% Tell us why

He should not come here

Why?

If he eats here, then other customers won't come

The owner will pull us up

Your customers are only our college students

We don't object What's your problem?

You wait, sir Why should he leave?

This hotel serves food for all, right?

Will you let him eat now or not?

What's the issue, Lenin?

It seems if he eats here we won't come inside

According to him

Will you let him in or not?

Hey, ask him to sit

- Babu - Tell me, anna

What did I order?

Did I order this?

Bring my regular drink

- Go - Okay, anna

He is giving your company's brand to you!

Another 15 minutes?

Kumar is still missing When will he come?

He is in Karanur 'dhaba'

He will be here in another ½ hour

When I asked you a while ago you said he's in Thamarappati 'dhaba'?

He owns 3 shops

All I can pass on is the information I get

Why are you getting bugged for no reason?

Let us finish our work and come back, partner

Suresh anna still not puked?

They are kids

1 of you is more than enough

- Why so many? - Show us the boys

I will show

Just give them a few tight slaps

Not in my shop

Show your might outside

If Kumar anna gets to know he will bring the roof down

'Machi', I have a question for you

Will cigarette manufacturers be of the same caste?

No way

What about rice and medicine?

No chance

What about our pant and shirt?

- Our inner wear? - No chance at all

They want the lower caste to pitch in But they won't give them food and shelter

How fair is this?

Doesn't the man in this poster belong to your caste?

Yes

- This owner too? - Yes

Why don't you ask him to resolve this unfair issue?

Hey!

Stop

How dare you come to our town and deride our own caste!

Hit him

Stop it

Wait

What's all this?

Wait

Go in and attend to your work

They made fun of our caste

That isn't true

Your employee Vadivel refused to let an old man come in and eat

We said that was wrong

That's all, we didn't ridicule any caste or creed

No, anna, they spoke about our community

- What did they say? - Hey! Wait

We said 2 of us are from your caste

We wanted to complain to the union and ask for justice to be rendered

We didn't talk about you or your caste in a wrong manner

He misunderstood us

If we wanted to, we could have derided you, straight to your face

We aren't scared

I'll chop your hand

Will you brandish your sickle for this?

They are our regular customers

They wouldn't have derided or ridiculed deliberately

You wouldn't have picked a fight unnecessarily either

Whatever

You misunderstood them and started a fight

Will you use your sickle for such a small issue?

I don't know if it's right or wrong

Put an end to it

They have left their home town and come all the way to study here

We should be the ones to be magnanimous and move on

Boys, go now

Just go to your hostel, I'll manage

They had the audacity to hit me and you let them go scot free

I am sure you would have retaliated!

If you had continued...

...the whole college would have rushed to their aid

Election time

Press will carry reports of me hitting innocent boys

Besides 2 of them belong to our caste

Tomorrow if we want to start a party of our own...

...won't they say we killed boys from our own caste

But if he hadn't come they would've killed us

Will we let them escape?

Won't we give tooth for tooth?

What is the use after we lose our limbs?

Will you send the load tomorrow?

I have no idea

My father takes care of the business

He asked me to collect the cash, so I came

Why are you like this?

You don't go home it seems

You stay mostly in the lodge

My father lamented to you, huh?

Get married without delay

You got married and divorced your wife within a year

You are a fine one to advise me!

Serves me right for trying to be helpful!

Here is your payment

Leave right away

Looks like he has got a posting in the union

Is this a big deal?

His uncle heads the union

His father is not Ulagappan?

Kumar's parents died when he was very young

Only he brought him up

We need this shop till we earn money in politics

It's doesn't depend only on lorry drivers eating here

Students who booze here are our backbone

Go with the flow and adjust according to the situation

No, anna

If you heard what they did prior to this...

...you'll be ready to thrash them

- You know what? - What?

Even if we get 60% in the final semester...

...it is 2nd class it seems

It applies to those who score more than 60%

Why are you worried?

Have you emptied all the matches?

Aren't you ashamed?

There goes your friend

Hey Bhaskar!

Go and buy a matchbox

Why is your girl upset?

Strike a conversation with her

You go and talk to Agnes

Is this Akil?

Why hasn't he switched on the head lights?

No one around

They were in the tea shop

Let's go to the 'dhaba'

My dear man, hurry up

Looks like the wedding will be over before you land up

Is there a problem, bro?

4 goons ran this way just now

They said they escaped from some college boys and ran

Was it this chap?

Yes

Karthi, stop

We'll be in a fix if he dies

Shouldn't we admit him in a hospital?

Don't bother

Only then they won't hassle us

What's the matter?

- Why did they beat you? - I don't know

I was standing in the shop

Hey! Why are you glaring at me?

You are the one glaring at me

How dare you talk to me with such scant respect!

Whom are you hitting?

Take your hands off

Beat him to a pulp

Did any of them look like the ones who fought with us at the 'dhaba'?

Not like any of them

If it was them...

...they would have followed us and sliced us to pieces

Why invite trouble?

I told you Kumar anna said not to spoil for a fight

Then why did you go?

Anna, we didn't intend hitting him

We were simply sitting there

Dilute it and drink

You might end up dead if you guzzle it raw

That checked shirt and his friends were the ones who hit Das

Hey! Where are you going?

Wait, I'll come

Where are you going?

I'll slap him so hard he will never forget

'How dare you talk to me with such scant respect!'

'Whom are you hitting?'

'Take your hands off'

You are just jobless jerks fit only to booze

Not enough if we just beat them

We should amputate their limbs!

Das, lie low for now

Kumar anna will pull us up for not listening to him

Hey! Careful

If you break even 1 bottle I'll make mince meat of you

Arrange it over there

Nothing to worry, bro Just a small mistake

A small mistake?

Label is most important

Our sales depend on it

Okay, I'll ask my boys to stick an expensive brand's label

Of course it will look as good as the original

According to the market price your profit will be 80%

Oh! Also look into this

There was a battery inside a bottle it seems

Check the bottles before you send

Alright?

Who is calling you?

Part time chap is showing off with his cell phone

The 'party' is in the lodge

Are you coming?

You claim to be faithful to your wife?

Drama king...?

Look at the way he smokes

Like he's into drugs

When it comes to sex, I don't know any chap who is monogamous!

Shall we try drugs once?

Where do we source it?

In our chemistry lab

If we smell that, more than enough

What if we sniff a quarter?

Your eyes will pop out of their sockets and you'll die

Give me a puff

Look, your girl Agnes is coming

Whom are you talking to?

Who-

Why are they drooling?

Hey! Why are you looking there?

Suresh, shut up

Hey Vasu

Come here

Ignore them He looks like a bull

But if a problem crops up he will ask us to pipe down

They are discussing us

They don't have the guts to talk face to face

What's cooking between you and Agnes?

You aren't telling us

It happened in our 1st year

Why can't you try convincing her again?

She said her family is priority How can he hook her then?

Her sister eloped with a Hindu chap without informing her family

Aren't you Christian too?

Then why is your name Lenin?

In memory of the Communist leader

Don't get worked up

If all her problems at home get sorted out...

...I'm sure she will talk to you

That's true

Let's think positively

Cheers up dude

For our friend's ex-love

For our friend's 'love'!

Go and talk to her

I wasn't looking at her

Simply looking that way

Don't pretend

Accept you are scared to talk to her

Hey! You think I'm a coward?

If you have guts then go and propose to her

Bet, Rs 50

She is very reserved

She will abuse me even if I say 'Hello'

- Imagine saying 'I lov- - You are such a scaredy cat

Go back to work

Hey! Vijay

I lu-

Can I borrow your rubber?

Thank you

New trend, huh?

"Doe, a deer, I thought you're mine I hid my thoughts in my soul confined"

"Hey, my dear deer I thought you were mine to revere"

"I kept you under cover in my heart's chamber"

"The green parakeet lured me She made me dazed and dizzy"

"All I wanted was just one kiss Cheeks pink, she flew, this pretty miss"

"From sugarcane red jaggery even I extracted"

"My heart where did you hide? Won't you tell me, sweet child?"

"From sugarcane red jaggery even I extracted"

"Where did you hide my heart? Won't you tell me, sweetheart?"

"My love, I saw your face only yesterday after all these days"

"I yearned, my graceful vine to bond and make you mine"

"Girl, you know my heart's want Don't pretend to be ignorant"

"Don't erupt like a volcano in your words and glance also"

Has the chemistry worked out?

Shut up!

Happy Birthday
