'Adivaram Region'

Hey?

Who are you?

I've never seen you here before

Oh, you're with the Adivaram group?

That's okay, don't be scared

I'm Senguttuvan

I'm the son of the head of Kurangani.

Won't you talk to me?

Are you mute?

Couldn't you at least let me know your name?

Senguttuva?

Alright, my parents are calling me

Tomorrow, I'll come here to see you

Senguttuva?

Did you call me?

Ganga!

Ganga!

May I tell you the truth?

In our village we have no one as beautiful as you are

I'll come tomorrow the same time

I like you very much

Ganga, see you

'After few days'

What happened Ganga?

Why are you not say something?

You're crying?

I like you very much Senguttuva!

But!

I'm scared!

We will not even be allowed to see the Yazhi God

In that case, how'd they accept me?

Lets end it

If your people are as kind as you

There will be no trouble, Ganga

My father is a good person

With his permission, I'll definitely take you to the temple

Do you truly mean that, Senguttva?

Yes!

You're the princess of our village

If not you, who else will I take?

Okay! I'll shall leave then

You're leaving?

I have come this far only for you

I couldn't sleep last night

I had nightmares

I want to ask you something!

Tell me

Those eyes

These....

Its just....

Ganga?

What are you doing?

What even are you doing?

They've killed your father

What happened to my father?

His father is the one who killed him

No!

No Ganga!

This can't be true!

I told you they will betray us, did you ever listen to me?

They betrayed us

Son, let's go

Ganga?

Lets go Ganga!

Don't go Ganga

'Yazhishwarar Temple Kurangani'

Yazhishwara! Protect me

Hey?

Hey! Don't do this

Listen to me

You're committing a grave mistake

I won't spare any of you

This is for your own good, please understand

Let me go

Listen to me

Is it wrong for me to have loved your son?

Or is it wrong that you killed my father?

Look, you've got it all wrong

I didn't kill your father

Hear me out

Go tell this to my father

That I'm the one who killed you

Sena!

Father!

Father... Sena protected the statue from being taken

I knew that Senguttuva

Until Sena and Mahasena are guarding us, no one can harm our God

Father, what's all this blood?

Even if anything happens to me

You must carry on the festival every year

Father? Father....

Father!

'Mahasenha'

This mountain is called Yazhi

The people who inhabit its heights are known as the Kurangani,

while those living at the foot of the hill are referred to as the Adivaram

The feud between the two groups traces its origins to the 3,000-year-old Yazheeswarar statue

Senguttuvan who lost his father becomes the head of Kurangani people

Ganga, who misunderstood became the head of Adivaram people

After they split up, Senguttuvan married Bommi

Ganga married Idumban

Each year on Chitra Pournami, the people living under Senguttuvan's leadership

perform the Yazhi Festival and accompanying rituals, expressing their faith

In contrast, even today Ganga's Adivaram people continue life-sacrificing rites

So, the Kurangani and nearby communities bar them from entering their villages

To this day, the conflict between the two clans and

their thirst for revenge remains unresolved. This year…

Bommi?

- Bommi? - What happened?

Adheera is missing

What are you saying?

Adheera is nowhere to be found

He told me he was going to the woods, but haven't returned yet

Brother?

Run!

Go and tell Senguttuvan

Its Idumban!

Its not like what you're thinking, he'll return soon

Don't send him to woods alone after this

Okay

Adhira ? Adhira... Oh no!

Adhira? My son...

My child… oh God… Adhira

- What happened, Adhira? - Adhira, look here

- What happened, Adhira? - Breathe, breathe

- Adhira ? - Give some water, give water

Drink, here

What happened?

What happened?

- Nothing, you're okay! - Okay! Hold it

Adhira, tell us what happened?

What happened?

That foothill gang came into the village again

Calm down, please

Two of them beat me up

They tried to kill me!

I kept running and running

Did you hear? They even laid hands on my child!

We can't let them go , uncle

Where is Senguttuvan?

Hey, how many times have I told you…

- You tell them… - Hey Bommi, why are you just watching?

- Say something… - Stop it!

I'll handle this

If they come into our village, we'll show them what happens

We'll show them

Hey, bring uncle along

Everyone, let's move

Come on! Everyone, let's move, let's go!

Idumba?

You've come seeking your death

Today is the last day for you and your gang

If you want, show your bravery to us

Come on, show it

Pommi, truly Senguttuvan is very lucky!

Your worth any number of sacrifices!

Hey, cut them down and throw them!

Drag her here!

Mother!

Alli!

Alli! Alli!?

Alli!

Oh no!

Alli!

Mother!

- Alli? - Mother

Alli?

- Hey, leave the child! - Amma…

Idumba, Idumba, no, let her go

Don't harm her, let her go!

Alli?

Should I or shouldn't I?

Alli?

Anna, Senguttuvan!

Father!

Father, I'm scared…

I don't need her life

But your statue.

If even a scratch falls on my daughter

Not one of you will leave Kurangani alive

If you're a man, show your bravery to me!

Alli?

Move aside

Kaali?

Lock all of them inside the hall!

- Alright, Senguttu. - Let's see what happens

Get up!

Greetings, sir.

Why are they dragging him along?

They're keeping him caught

Senguttuva, what is this?

You're the big man of the village.

Instead of looking after your people, you're fighting with these petty boys

you buffalo, I'll slap you!

I'm here. If there's a problem, you should come to me, right?

I'll settle it.

That's why I came, Senguttuva?

Why didn't you come earlier?

Early or late, what difference does it make?

Your wife?

Madam, greetings

Senguttuva deserves a wife like you

Senguttuva, just send them back, Hey, come over here

Tell them, man

Everyone, calm down

Sir, listen… I know why he came into our village

If he dares to come again, the way my father

took Ganga's father's head, I'll take his

Now take him away!

- Get lost - Hey?

- Get going! - Grab him and load him onto the vehicle.

Weren't you told not to set foot in this village?

Senguttuva, let go

I'll handle it, that's why I'm here

- He's just a nobody - You may leave

So, I'm leaving alright?

"The woods are filled with fragrance, the flowers all speak,"

"Mother's love, father's bond , this is our warrior's land"

"Music rings everywhere, the skies begin to change"

"Like a cradle song, the little cuckoo sings its tune."

"The one who guards every village, no guardian like our Lord."

"He gives an endless boon, the sky itself is under His watch"

"The woods are filled with fragrance, the flowers all speak,"

"Mother's love, father's bond this is our warrior's land."

"This soil, this heart what more can I say?"

"A command, a Sena there's nothing as close as our own"

"This home, these woods, the temple's guardian yazhi, they are ours."

"The beasts live here, sharing the courage of this soil."

"The rain god himself watches, blessing this land for ages."

"Illusions fade, wounds heal, and justice stands firm here."

"Time may change, but not our way of life."

"Whether it's life or death that's in the hands of God alone."

"So come, let's live together or march like Sena into battle"

"Love speaks here, but see the forest's affection never dies."

"Desire gathers here, heaven itself seems near , a golden hour."

"Our thoughts conquer, our hearts speak aloud"

"Our courage burns like fire, victory crowns our heads."

"No money, no fear can change this land."

"So come, my friend, for our god himself stands watch , the eternal guardian."

YazhiSwara, I swear if this year's festival goes smoothly without any trouble,

I'll offer him as a sacrifice.

Offer yourself, man

Okay lets sacrifice that guy

Between you two, whichever one we offer, it's all the same

Where's the difference?

Yazhishwara!

Come.

Senguttuva!

Every year we hold the festival,

but we can't keep enduring the trouble from that Adivaram gang

Just like last year, this year too they're set on creating chaos, what should we do?

True, we have to make a decision, only then it'll settle.

Every year there's some disturbance, should we stop the festival for that?

Whatever happens, we're going ahead with it this year.

Senguttuva?

With so many of us here, they still carried off our girl

Inside our own temple, Ganga will never hesitate to lift our God's statue

- Let's at least ask for police security. - Brother?

we don't need police or anything else

For this forest, the twenty villages around us are security enough

what more do we need? - You speak like that, my son!

Are we the kind who run from a fight?

Senguttuva, just give the word and I'll handle the rest.

Hmm

Talk sense here, don't go and pick fights there

you'll be the first I deal with!

Bommi, Am I right?

The God who protects us always, we see our god with our own eyes that one day

That's worth standing together no matter what trouble comes.

Well said!

Mother, can I speak?

Go ahead, dear.

This time, who'll dance in the Yazhi ritual?

I will, we all will!

Father?

May I dance too?

Of course, you can

Everyone listen! On Chitra Pournami our temple festival will be held

By the grace of Lord Yaliswarar, the Lord will see it through

So send word to all the surrounding villages about the festival

Alright?

Uncle, I'll take my leave

Okay!

I'll see you all

Okay, I shall leave then

Okay brother

Let go!

Please let go!

Please!

If our villagers find out

They won't spare you

Just leave me

Hey?

Let me go, please

Senguttuva!

Let me go!

What are you doing?

Hey?

Don't do this

No!

Senguttuva...

Senguttuva....

The next sacrifice is

Senguttuvan.

Jungle boys!

I trusted you and stepped into this job!

Did I brought him along properly?

That's the affection I have for you people!

I pretended to take him away and I brought him here safe and sound

But what did you do for me?

Twenty more eggs for you

Moron!

Fool!

you only think of your bodies, never your brains

What can I even say?

Don't you understand?

Will you stay wild like this forever?

Huh?

My hope was to bring you out of the forest, settle

you in the village, make you people among people.

But you want to live in this forest forever!

Not even slightest desire to live like a real man?

Its all for you! Ganga madam, instead of

giving the death look, make them understand

What is your problem with stealing the idol?

Tell me!

You know every nook and cranny of this forest, right?

Huh?

Yet what sense do you show?

And you, Ganga? Did you see Senguttuvan?

Without even police permission, he plans to run the festival

Tomorrow, If he wants, he'll burn me too along with it!

In the festival

What is that? Let me see

No shortage of such tricks!

Its twisted on both sides, I think this is the back scratcher?

Look at these men and their skulls!

I'm telling you, by the day the festival ends, you must bring the idol to me

Understood?

Huh?

Ganga?

So, will you bring it?

This time, I will go myself

No shortage of attitude, eh?

Hey! Start the vehicle

Come only with the idol

Ganga, no need to rush.

No rush

But necessity

I'm Kamaraj, professor of this college

There may be countless engineering and medical colleges out there

But only a few truly teach the beauty of

the world and the knowledge rooted in nature

Our college is one of them

Every year, through trekking, the biggest lesson I learnt is

Here nature and God are one and the same.

This year too, my students and I…

Why are you pulling him?

Bro, any entertainment planned for today?

Nothing today

Bro, actually there are two bits of “entertainment” ready.

Lets go canteen and have something

Beautiful girls'!

Sight for the sore eyes!

That's so true!

Watch this now

Hey? Come here

I said come here

Come

Hey, Revathi? Come here

Oh you're Sharmi?

Oh! My department?

Hey? Who the hell are you?

You're grabbing my ID card?

Better mind your manners!

Revathi, our boy's been calling you, wants to talk!

Why do you always refuse when he calls?

Won't you come if he asks?

It's nothing like that.

Madhu, smartwatch huh?

- Huh? - Hey?

Leave my hand

- Go propose her - Bro, its my personal matter

Come here

Revathi, leave now, I'll talk to him

Stop it

This baldy ruined it

What ragging when I am in this college?

Girls? Leave

Lets go

From now on, if anyone even thinks about ragging

Then do it to me!

Should I dance like Silk smitha!

- Or sing like Andrea? - Oh no! Sir... no no... please don't

- I think the principal is calling you - Yeah right!

Good evening to all!

I'm glad to welcome you all for the world environmental day

We welcome our chief guest

Mr. Narayanamurthy sir

Minister of environment and forest department

We welcome you sir!

Next! The Guinness record holder

Our physical education professor

We cordially invite the Honourable Kamaraj Sir

Environmental science

One of the most vital branches of knowledge our country needs

Tell me, how many people actually pursue it?

We see it only during school competitions and college exhibitions

At other times, no one even thinks about it

They say the world is heating up

Not just now, they've been saying it for many years

Yet the disasters we've faced, the fury of nature, and the lives lost

None of that seems to have truly convinced us

That is why I want us to recognise its importance and move toward it

Without nature, there is nothing.

Climbing the Himalayas is an honour

But is there no pride in climbing our own Western Ghats?

Let us live as one with nature

Let us protect nature

Thank you.

Come on in

- Hi sir! - Please be seated

Your speech was very interesting, you know?

- The minister himself mentioned it - Thank you sir

Mani?

Sir?

You've got all the permissions needed for trekking

Super, sir

Here's the list of names

- That who have enrolled - Okay sir

I wanted to ask you something

There are so many hill stations but why did you choose Yazhi Hills?

There are many issues after the Kurangani fire accident

Be safe there

Make sure no bad name comes to our college

Sure sir

And if we, who go seeking nature, get scared

of nature itself, how is that right, sir?

Trekking is not tourism

Its the best way we can connect to the universe, sir

Its just a three days plan

We will come back safe

We are also thinking of going for the Kurangani festival, sir.

Why?

There is a statue in that temple.

They say it usually remains invisible

But only if we touch it do we know it exists

Oh?

On the full-moon day during the Kurangani festival,

they say that statue becomes visible to our eyes

Not only for me, but even for our students,

its going to be a great thing witnessing that

Even for our student's studies and research it could be a great hint

Very nice

Thank you sir!

Mani and Rajendran will join with you

They'll assist you

- And anything, you can call me - Sure, sir

- Thank you so much - Take care

Swami, for many days I have been seeing only bad dreams.

No suitable proposal is coming for my daughter

My heart feels very troubled, Swami

What should we do now, Swami?

There is an incomplete ritual waiting at the Kanni temple

Your confusion will be resolved.

Aunty…

Hey Alli, what are you doing here?

Aunty, when God Himself is here why are you all going to priest?

He is not just a Swami, child. He is a Siddhar

He is the one who guides us on what is right and what is wrong

If you stand before him, even without opening his eyes

he will tell you who you are, where you came from, and why you have come

If we pray to him, everything will happen well.

Then shall I also go?

Yes, go.

Swami

I am Alli

Will you not speak to me?

Alli…

I'm coming…Anyways swami you will not speak anything

"Should pour into the tumbler and drink the liquor"

"After emptying the glass, should pour that again"

"Should eat the pickle along"

"If it is used up, should buy it again"

Pour a little more, da

enough, enough, enough, enough!

enough, enough!

They've decided to conduct the festival… do you know that?

But they haven't even taken my permission

Prathap sir told me

there's a girl in this village…

Hey! Quiet

I hear something, keep quiet

Hey, come here,

Hey, come here, quick!

The girl I mentioned is here now.

Watch your steps there's a lot of work today

On this festival, our entire village is celebrating aunty

- Even I feel like dancing. - You must dance

Isn't Alli already set to perform the dance?

I know… but I'm scared

That's why I'm here, right?

- Hey, wait a minute! - Hold it, boys

Wait, I hear some noise.

What noise is that?

Aunty… something's coming… aunty!

Wait!

Hey, you all go and check that side.

Where are you coming from?

What do you want?

Sir, we just went to the temple

What now?

We need to check you.

Hey! Careful, my sandals will hit you.

What is this?

- I'll shoot you! - Hey, move away

Move!

What do you want?

- Come here… come with me - Aunty? aunty?

- Hey, leave me, leave me! - Just walk

Let me go, please

What do you want from us? Why are you doing all this?

If our people got to know, you're done for good

They'll chop you into pieces

Hey! Just come on

Bommi!

Bommi!

No!

Let us go

Listen to me okay?

Don't do this to us

Let us go! please

I don't want you

- No… it's her I want. - What?

No!

Leave her!

Don't be afraid… don't be afraid… my dear, my precious one…

Leave her

Let her go!

Hey?

- Hey? Leave her - Aunty.... Aunty..

Aunty… aunty… tell them to leave me, aunty

- Alli? - Who is that?

Oh no, no… don't come here Leave this place

Leave!

No Alli

- Don't come here - Hey, did you see? Another girl has come!

Who is that?

- Chitra? - Aunty!

Alli...

- Alli please leave - Catch her and tie her up

Hey, that's Senguttuvan's daughter!

Sena?

Sena!

Its an elephant

Elephant... elephant

Run everyone

Get them

How dare you touch our women?

Show your bravery now

Stop there, all of you!

"You are the smell of Viagra I am turning to the youth"

Keep your hands to yourself or I'll kill you

What do I do now? How will he even survive with such behaviour?

"The curve of Niagara, is you only"

"The heart of Agra, is me only"

"Do travel in every nook and corner"

Hey, stop the song!

- Hello, who is this? - Hello?

- Is this Suruli? - Yes, this is Suruli speaking.

- You're the tourist guide, right? - Yes

Hey! I'm the forest officer staff

You say I'm a tourist guide?

This is Kamaraj speaking.

Oh! Sir, sir, sorry sir! I spoke disrespectfully

I've reached the viewpoint along with the students, and you?

Have you already arrived, sir? I'll be there in ten minutes

Please wait

And sir, do not let the boys climb the hill.

That area is not viewpoint but suicide point

just last week, three boys fell while making reels.

We have been lowering ropes for a week

but haven't found them yet

Please gather all the boys in one place and get them some tea. I will be there shortly

- Okay, sir, okay. - Alright, come soon

They come, ask me to show around the places, but never make the payment

- What Suruli? - What?

Looks like you've bought a new vehicle.

Yes da, I struggled a lot working at night shifts, so I got myself a new vehicle

Unlike you, I didn't end up selling packets and going to jail

You're lucky they didn't hang you!

That's why I'm changed and came out, isn't it?

Yes, I can see that. You've come back all decked up and shining.

Uncle, tell him to play a song

Suruli, the girl is asking for a song. Play it

If I play it, they will start making a mess in the back. Sit quietly

Hey, forester? Vehicle may be yours, we are paying you, right?

Play the song.

Oh, so you're threatening me now?

What, madam? Won't you travel unless I play songs?

I'll just drop you at the school on the way.

You fool! It's Sunday today, what school is open?

Oh, today is Sunday?

Do you even know who this girl is?

Did I deliver her when she was born? Tell me

Senguttuvan's daughter!

Senguttuvan's daughter?

That's why she has such a big mouth!

So, you're his daughter?

- Yes - Oh!

Don't tell your father all this

Tell him that uncle brought you safely, okay?

Hey, play that song quickly!

Otherwise, he'll wring my neck

Play it!

you can dance, madam

You all do whatever you want; I won't stop you

Yes, dance!

- "Ravanan... - Just hunting"

"Battle with queens"

Sir, we've reached the spot safely

We are all here

We'll inform you once we start trekking

- Just a minute, sir - Sir? Here! Come here

Suruli?

Do I look like Idhayam Murali?

I'm Suruli

Feels like I'm going to get a headache dealing with this guy.

Sir, don't worry , further ahead there's a settlement…

Alright, shall we go?

Sir, what is this ,are we on a honeymoon or something?

Trekking!

Trekking has rules and regulations

Get the students ready let's go to the base of the hill first

Get them in

Look at him, pushing his leg through the fence

- Get down and look at those faces. - Come on guys, move!

We are going to have so much fun!

When did you even take the number of that girl in the red dress?

- Load up, boys! - Hey, come fast.

- Go, go just get going. - Send them quickly, sir.

Hey cowboy! Move a bit

let me also sit

Are you going to sit here?

Yes.

Sir, my jeep can climb the mountain if needed, but

it can't take the whole mountain along with it!

Carry him in a crane if you want

Get lost!

I sold my father-in-law's land to buy this jeep, you trying to flip it?

Yeah you keep yawning all the time

You either yawn or empty the petrol, move the jeep

Move it

Take reverse

Professor, careful!

Hey, keep your hands inside and sit properly

Wow!

God save me! We can't receive any signal here!

Oh no! Its really urgent

Where is the guide?

Then what's the plan, Suruli?

Without your knowledge, they've bought a case of beer, that's the plan!

How did you stop the vehicle without me knowing?

Leave it sir, they are just kids. At night, we can get it from them

Where are you taking us now?

Nothing sir, if you keep going straight you'll hit a graveyard

I'm asking you seriously

Sir, listen to me , cross that graveyard and you'll find the mountain base.

Camp there, pitch the tents and stay overnight.

I'll go meet the forest officer, hand over a bottle and a letter

then come back. We'll leave in the morning, okay?

Hey? Careful, come here guys

How did they send so many students trusting this guy?

We'll pitch the tents, stay the night, and leave in the morning

We'll have to go to relatives house then

They came here just to drink

Suruli sir!

Come here, baldy.

It's urgent, I want to pee, where should I go?

Wet your pants!

Are you a professor? Have you got no brains?

Looking like a buffalo! Go find some tree go

Leave

How did you even become a professor when you haven't learnt to pee?

Come, Idumba!

Tell me

At least this time, will we get the statue?

No!

Under the light of cold moon

Because of a traitor's betrayal

your death is destined

This is Lord Shiva's vow.

There is no God greater than a feminine power

To decide your death

Who the hell is he?

Lets go

Did you see? They've killed our Swami!

I warned you all so many times, but Senguttuvan never listened

Hey, what's with the crying, like you're some kid? Shut your mouth

Stop it! If we remain like this, they'll take our deity away

Or it's like you're the one handing them over yourself?

- Quit wailing and jumping around. - Watch what you say

I've shown you all the respect I can

Why keep running your mouth?

Don't talk nonsense when you don't even know what's going on

That's as much respect as you'll get, I'm warning you

- You think you can threaten me? - What? What's your problem now?

- What did he even say wrong? - Why is everyone talking nonsense?

You're letting these kids speak out of turn and just standing there?

Enough!

Hold it, everyone!

Bommi?

Where's Senguttuvan?

There, father's arrived

Its about time, ganga's clan will become extinct

Let them come

This time, its not Yazhi dance this is going to be a blood sacrifice

No one's coming to save anyone

I will come to save you, you'll come to save me

and it's our deity that will save all of us

Whoever comes here shouldn't leave alive

I'm saying this to everyone who speaks without faith

if someone has to die for this idol

The first life will be mine.

Brother?

But before that

Their heads will roll like this

Senguttuva! Senguttuva!

Senguttuva! Senguttuva!

Senguttuva! Senguttuva!

Senguttuva!

Senguttuva! Senguttuva!

- Hey, forester? - Huh?

When will this end?

Your asking about end?

While its been only 30 mins since we started

But you're already walking like old lady

I knew this would happen when you were smoking secretly

Go!

Get going

Just go!

Look at those pants!

Walk fast

Come on lets go!

Careful guys!

Watch your steps

Don't stop, keep moving.

Put the phone away

Keep your phone inside and walk

Careful guys!

Watch your step!

Hey? Penamani, come fast

The stones are slippery, watch your step

Look down and walk

Help me out, give me your hand

Are they on tour or

Do they think they're on a pilgrimage?

There are almost 60 people, oh God!

How am I going to handle them?

- Hey, girl walk carefully, there's a pit - Suruli?

- I'm talking to you - This hero is now sitting down for rest?

Come on, let's take a short break and go.

We can!

But put the boys and girls separately and you sleep in the middle

Are they even kids? They're mischievous

They bit my hips thinking I'm Teena

Yes! I understand

Talk like a professor

Take them all this way

I'm going the other side to pee

But where's any restroom here?

There are so many bushes around, don't poke everything deeply

I'll bring the bear fruit while returning, okay?

- Bear fruit? - Mother!

Uncle?

Will Sena be alright?

Senguttuva! Its festival time

The elephant's going into musth

Look at the amount of water dripping

Yes Senguttuva, its gone into musth

Its nothing like that, he'll be okay!

Listen!

Why so quiet? Say something, you need to find a way out

Father?

What happened to Sena?

Sena ia not talking to me!

Don't cry, nothing's wrong with Sena

Sena is okay

He will be alright, soon

Bommi?

Take Alli home

Come on

Come, don't cry.

I'll see you soon

Alli, please go

Nothing will happen to Sena, he will be fine by morning

- Uncle? - Don't cry

Till the festival ends, don't tell anyone in the village about Sena's madness.

Once the festival is over, we'll bring

a doctor from town and have him treated

Until then, tell everyone staying with Sena to be careful

Don't leave anyone near Sena!

We must be careful Senguttuva!

Guys?

Shall we go?

Sir, but where? To home?

Hey, leave if you want to

Where is Ram?

Hey, why are you looking up?

Look at the size of that jackfruit!

- Sir? - What?

Ram is missing!

Ram went to take photos and hasn't come back yet.

What do you mean he hasn't come back?

- Still didn't come back, sir. - Sir...

By seeing Ram clicking photos, Maithili followed him, sir

it's been too long, she's not back yet

Ram?

Maithili, what are you doing here?

Where's everyone else?

Wait... wait...

I need to talk to you.

When I first saw you

I didn't know anything about you

I feel so guilty now

Just a minute

Look, there's no one else here, Ram

Do you even get what I'm saying?

We need to leave right now

Maithili, we have to get out of here

Come!

Why? What happened?

What happened, Ram? Who are all these people?

Take them to Idumban!

Sir....

Sir, save us!

Two of our people are missing and you're just sitting there doing nothing!

Penamani? Where's the guide who came with us?

He said he'll join us shortly

Girls stay here!

Boys!

Let's search around

Ram! Ram! Maithili!

Ram? Where are you going?

Maithili?

Dude? Ram? Where did you disappear?

Ram can you hear us?

Hey look there

Ram?

What if he fell down?

- This is his bag - Yes this is Ram's bag

Everybody go search for him

- Let's go search in this direction - Where's Suruli?

Hey... Ram?

He must be here somewhere

Maybe he went back to the village?

Suruli where did you go?

Two people from our team are missing

- What are you saying? - Sir!

- Look at this - Where did you find this?

Look at the photos in his camera

we got it from there, sir - Take a look

Who are they?

Oh no! Its the Adivaram gang

- They're dangerous! - The discussion is serious

They might plan to kill the kids

What do we do now?

What do we do?

What did I tell you?

I told you to look after them carefully, right?

Where did you go all this time?

You moron!

You left the kids and now asking me what to do?

Don't know what they would've done to the kids

What should we do now?

You better look after these kids, some might try to run away

I'll go into the village and bring someone for help, okay?

- Lets go guys! - Don't roam around until I come back

Guys lets go somewhere safe

Who are you?

You're wearing the Kurangani pendant?

What business do you have with them?

I belong to Kurangani!

Today I'll offer you both as sacrifice

Who are they even? Feeding on wild dogs?

Huh?

Hey?

Tying up a girl and showing off like this?

Are they tourists?

Huh?

I think I've seen this girl before?

- Dad? - She called me dad?

Yeah, she's Kousalya's daughter

How dare you rascal?

How dare you lay hands on my girl?

Untie her!

You've tied up an innocent vegetarian girl like a beast?

- You sons of buffaloes… - Sorry, sir.

- I'll kill you! - Sir forgive us

Sir please forgive us!

- Forgive us! - Dad

I'll slaughter you all

Don't get scared, dear!

How dare you?

For the mercy I show you, you touched my kousalya's daughter?

- I will kill you - Sorry sir!

Father, let's take Ram too.

Hey, untie him

Untie him!

Dear, just come with me

- Lets go, come on - Dad, please!

- Take him safely and drop him off. - Let Ram come with me.

Dad, please dad please

They'll take care of him

Festival work is going fine, is it?

Yes, its all going good

Hey! We're doing all this without permission

- Senguttuva? - Okay brother

The elephant broke free from its chains and charged into the village

Lift the leg, lift the leg

Father, what has happened to Sena?

I was so scared

It's nothing, his health isn't good

Once he's alright, He'll come running to find you.

Sena is coming to you!

Father, Sena has recovered

- Sena! - Don't go Alli

Alli don't go to him, he's not cured yet!

Alli stop, don't go to him

Alli....

"My child, my soul, even when death shows up"

"Time's already run out"

"In the sting, in my arms, you left ,your life slipped away"

"In the blaze, I'm left buried in the sorrow! And my world stopped spinning with you!"

Alli!

"Will it change or just trip up?"

"Will the rest of my life be a curse?"

"will the wound heal or stay raw?"

"Will even the whole forest hear the noise?"

"Oh my child!, my soul!"

"Oh my soul!"

"My sweet little child!"

"Inside me you rock yourself to sleep will my words lose their place?"

"I live in your soul, will the words that praised me return to me?"

"Is this justice? Am I in hell? Without you is this even a world?"

"I feel heavy, is this enough wound?"

"Will lour home ever be normal again?"

"My child, my soul! Even when death shows up, time’s already run out."

"In the sting, in my arms, you left your life slipped away."

"Sweetheart, my heart , I cried, I shattered."

"Darkness, my terror , I'm a curse till I die."

"Sweetheart, my heart!"

"I cried, I shattered! Darkness, my terror"

"I'm a corpse till I die" - Father?

I am not dead!

Take care of Mom…

Sena is innocent!

- Alli? - Dear?

What happened dear?

Please don't cry, dear

I raised Sena just like my own kid

But he proved that he's just a beast, right?

I won't let another life be lost like Alli's.

Sena!

Sena's gone into the eastern forest

I'm going in after him

Don't go, dear! Please, don't

Bommi?

Nothing will happen to me.

You stay here and handle the temple festival work.

Dear, how can I think about the festival right now…

According to our village custom, the festival can't be stopped for any reason.

So be brave and take care of the work

But dear, just me alone....

Don't cry…

Hey Maithili!

Open the damn door!

Just like I slaughtered your mom, I should've killed you too!

Open the door now!

I sent her to college, huh? Who the hell goes trekking with random guys?

Out there, I should've had the tribes hack you to pieces!

Hey?

Come here

Where did you drop that boy?

Sir, solaiyur sir

Cancel those kids' trekking permission right now.

Yes sir!

Bring that guy alone, here

- Hurry up! - Okay sir, I'll tell them

This girl is so arrogant exactly like me!

Genes!

Hello?

- Tell me boss? - Where is the statue?

Have you seen it or not?

Boss, I've looked everywhere couldn't spot the statue

Maybe it's hidden like they said, nobody can see it with naked eyes…

Stop giving me reasons, clear the people and bring the statue

Kurangani's festival is coming!

Those two gangs will show up and die killing each other, boss

They can't run away from me too

Don't stress, you'll get the statue

I will take care of it, my boss!

You better!

What better or butter!

Come on guys!

Hey Kali, do something,

Check whether the elephant has gone up hill

Alright!

Yeah we'll go

That isn't your tame elephant!

it's a wild one

We might lose our lives along with yours

Don't know whose face I woke up to this morning

I'm stuck with these people

Ugh...

Hey Mari, look

This side's all been checked.

It can't go that way, stand and watch here, then we'll try the other side later

- Tell everyone - Okay brother

Mani, come here!

Senguttuva?

I can see something up hill, come here quickly

Sena?

Ram!

Hey? Sir has already called me twice

Get it wrapped, we must leave

- Brother? - Look, he's calling for you

I don't think we can catch the elephant

I think it's in the woods

If we go further we can't just go searching, without the officer's permission

Thanks for help, you may leave

Didn't you hear them? They can handle this, let's go

Sir, at least let me give them this injection bag

Just keep moving!

Come on, climb up, that's what he said

You're anyways leaving, why don't you lend us your gun?

- We ain't sure it'll even shoot, brother… - That's true

They're gonna run the festival without permission, we'll deal with them that day

Just now Maithili's dad spoke, Maithili's safe

Okay sir

- But they've cancelled your trekking - I get what you're saying, sir

I'll gather the kids and bring them back safe

Okay, I'll arrange a vehicle.

- Man, I kinda knew this was gonna happen. - Guys, hurry up, come here

Damn, this guy won't even let us sit in peace, get up!

Don't panic, nothing's happened to Maithili

Principal spoke with Maithili's dad

she's safe.

And ... going further

He has asked us to drop the trekking

Oh God!

- What's this got to do with that? - The cab's on the way

Pack all your stuff, we're heading back.

Where is Jero?

Whatever's going on here, he's the one informing principal

I saw him leaving from here with Suruli

That's okay

You guys get ready!

we're leaving.

To impress Gaja, you cut him off?

Nothing happened to Maithili.

When I told you we're going to Kurangani

Why didn't you tell me you belong to that village?

Ram?

Sir, after knowing I belong to that village,

Maithili's father took her with him

What are you saying?

Its nothing like that

Whatever's for you will find you.

It won't come to me easily.

Alright, okay!

Okay!

Sir has told us to bring just him in for questioning

Is that so? Then do it.

Your trekking is cancelled right? Move away

But we need to question this guy a bit, then we'll let him go.

- How dare you lay hands on me? - Hey! They pushed our student!

- Come here! - Hey! Where are you running?

- Move - Hey?

Hey! They touched our girls! Finish them all!

Sathya, what are you doing?

"What happened to the boys?"

- Such big tree, but I can see only one mango! - "Why do I bother?"

"Caught to the elephant?"

"What happened to the boys? Why do I bother?"

Hey, Block-head!

For the 500 bucks you gave me, are you planning to sing me to death? Get down,

Suruli bro, do it fast!

Sir is telling you to hurry up!

I'll smack you with my slipper, You'll know when you do this

I heard they shot 12 people just for this one tree

what's so damn special about it? - Suruli brother?

What?

- Look over there! - Suruli!

Professor's conducting freaking horse race or what?, why's everyone running like this?

Hey why are you coming running like this?

- So, you guys just sitting here? - When said not to go, did you listen?

Hey? Guys! Wait... hey?

What's going on? Ram at least you tell me

- Hey, professor? What's happening? - Suruli brother, the police is after us

Hey, stay and say something before you leave

- Come on, they're coming. - Hey? Someone tell me what is it?

Rascal! Why are you coming running like this?

- Bro, our boys beat the cops up - They beat the cops up?

- Yes! - What are you saying?

Bro, they beat the cops, shouted your name,

so, you shouldn't stand here, come with me

Poor thing ,you made it impossible for me to even go to town.

Why'd you rough up those cops?

Hey, listen! Keep the jeep safe or they'll haul you off.

Those college kids beat us and ran into the thick woods, sir.

The ones who went into the woods won't come back. Leave it like that…

Okay, sir.

Suruli hasn't come?

Do you know the route?

Sir, I don't really know the route properly.

Suruli?

- Suruli? - Yeah coming

Come here!

Come, show us the way!

I left the jeep further up, what will happen to it?

You brought me by force and asking me to guide you? I'm very angry get lost

Do you need special instructions?

Look at his walk!

Darling, got some water?

I don't have enough water feed an elephant

If I were at home

What would have you done?

Home... I'd have had milk and dozed off

- Now you dragged me here - It’s okay, burn that butter a little

Senguttuva?

Come on

It has gone through this path, but looks like long time ago

Why is there only one shoe in this woods?

I think someone's here check and see what happened.

Hey? Go that way!

Go!

You guys check on the other side

Climb up, climb up

Hey, look down the slope…

Nothing's here

Brother?

- Brother, come here - Hey, Karigalan's calling out, man…

Brother!

What happened? Who is this?

Who are you?

What happened?

I'm Maithili!

The forest officer, Prathap's daughter…

Officer Prathap's daughter?

How did you come here?

I want to go to Kurangani

We're from Kurangani only

What happened? Tell us

Like you think, my father isn't a good man

Did you hear that?

For that statue, he planned to wreck this whole village on the day of festival…

You heard that, Senguttuva? How dare he?

Alright! whatever it is, let's go down and talk, you're heavily injured, okay?

Careful, get up slowly!

Lift her carefully!

Go carefully! Get her safe to the hospital

I've called you all here, because

Unlike we think, that ranger is not a good person

No matter how many breaths we spend, we can't let anyone touch that statue.

What can we do against them?

All this trouble for one god-statue?

But we're here!

Hey, if you're gonna speak, at least say something that makes sense

If its my brother saying, there must be a reason

- What? - Listen!

Kodumaran is right!

They'll wipe out our clan

We're a lot of people, can't we even protect our idol?

Telling MLA about our issue is the right thing to do

Hey? Why do you always want to involve the MLA?

Going to the MLA will do nothing, we can protect ourselves

After the election, the MLA never visited us once, you're talking about him?

Can't we sort our own problem?

Brother, if we're gonna live scared like that, that kind of life isn't for us

Tell us what to do.

- Say like that, ma… - Stop yelling everyone!

One minute, please!

Not a single soul should die like my daughter…

Look after your family, please.

Dear, from now on, we'll look out for ourselves.

Shall I tell you something you don't know?

That statue has already gone missing from our temple three times.

What are you saying, brother?

What do you mean, Sengu?

Three times gone?

First time

A kidnapping gang from the north India

Stole the idol from the temple

When they came out of the temple, the statue suddenly felt impossibly heavy

they got scared seeing that, dumped the statue right there and ran away

The second time

some witchcraft crew from Kerala took our statue and tried to cross the border

Their vehicle crashed and everyone in it burned and died there itself

But nothing happened to our statue.

The third time,

Ganga's father carried our statue towards the Adivaram group…

but on the way he started vomiting blood and died infront of my father

My father didn't kill Ganga's father

Beyond this

When my father died, his last word was

Senguttuva! however many lives it costs

Our deity's idol must never be allowed to leave our village

That statue's got so much dignity

To protect that statue, my father even gave his life

I think everyone here already knows that

If you're just going to treat it like a piece of rock

Please walk away!

If you think of it as a deity, come with me

Brother?

we're standing with you for our god Whoever comes, we'll protect it

Son? We'll run the festival, son.

- We'll make sure it happens - Senguttuva, we're with you

We are there for you! Don't worry at all!

Okay? We'll take care!

We'll hold the festival, no matter who comes.

"We are stuck in the jungle To sing a duet, have no female"

"If my girl comes now..."

Hey, grab that pole and shove it through his mouth

We're lost in the middle of the forest and sitting here, you are need of singing?

Who's got a signal to call?

No sir!

Do you have it?

I've been watching for two days he gives the girl a strong signal

When you guys return back, his parents will literally beat you with slippers.

Hey Suruli?

When your parents beat him with slippers, record a video and send it, okay?

- Hey, did you get anything? - Suruli brother?

Can I ask something?

What? Cigarette? Its over.

No brother, its not that.

Truly don't you know the route?

I'm really scared.

Please, somehow take us out of here.

He's waiting for me in my town

Like your professor, you're also talking like a nutcase?

If I knew the way out, I'd be the first to escape, right?

Instead of studying at the age, you fell into love

And now you've got me sitting under the full moon like this

Ugh!

- Why Suruli brother? - What, man?

Don't you like love and all?

Have you never loved anyone?

- What brother? - Brother?

Why brother, what happened?

- Even I fell in love with a girl once. - Really?

Did you hear that?

Yeah ! A girl named Elisa, from France.

She travelled with me for trekking

And both of us just got synced in love

But there was this guy on her side, literally circling us just to split us apart.

Tell me who he is, we'll finish him off

We could do that… but there's no one else ,it was her husband.

What are you saying?!

Yes, she stayed with him only three days after marriage

And the next nine days she was with me

- You think that guy's gonna let go? - Oh yuck!

This is your love story?

Not only in this woods, we can leave you in the graveyard too

Hey. come on

If I fall in love with someone like you, you'd

team up with your secret lover and kill me

- Hey, trekker? - What is it peon?

- That girl Elisa? - Yeah?

They say she's white as milk.

Her husband is a fighter in Hollywood, he'd smack you down to death

Peon face!

Behave like an actual peon

Professor, peon, you two are stuck in the same dirt mood

Anyone got water?

There's a stream nearby , elephants drink from it

Go kneel and drink there, you elephant, go!

You drank all I had

A stream?

Why are you getting up in panic?

The end of this stream is the Kurangani village

If we follow this, we can reach there, sir

- Really? - Yes sir!

- You sure? - Sure sir!

What sure?

What Suruli?

- What professor? - Shall we move out?

- Shall we? - Does he even know the way?

Look, everything's upside down here

- I'm the guide here but I'm following you - Let's go, let's go ,come on, guys.

Get up, lets go!

- Fast... fast...fast come on - Hey get up man!

Hey? Rascal! Get up!

Pack everything, don't leave anything behind!

- Go fast! - Pick everything before leaving

Suruli, I'm hungry!

Wait for some ten minutes, we'll reach Aaryabhavan hotel!

Look around, there are snakes, scorpions, everything

They've planted poles

Are they playing Kabbadi?

What is this? It's scary

- Whose head is that stuck over there? - They've lamb skull too

some kind of gathering, maybe a meeting. I can't see a proper stage.

Who are these people? Who are these people?

- Brother, brother! - Don't be afraid, guys.

- These people are real humans - Brother, don't stab me brother,

Looks like Mansoor Ali Khan

I'm so scared, man

Just keep quiet!

Stay composed even if he spits or kisses you

Stay calm!

He's a wild honey!

Why is he coming so close?

Told you he's the smartest in this gang

See even he doesn't like you, because, unlike us, they're good people

Does he eat any tiger meat?

Brother... brother...

Brother, I am one of you

You can't recognize me since I'm not wearing uniform

Our elders, uncles and all, they're here

Yes, I am one of you!

Yeah, he had a little drink, but what's this whole performance about?

What happened?

When the song of Yazhi is heard!

one yazhi dance to honor our yazhi-swami and make him proud!

This festival is for you!

If we cross them, we can enter the village, you guys go ahead

Ram come with me, we'll take the jeep and lets go visit that girl

Run everyone... Go!

Aah! God, temple, people

May no evil force ever come near us again

We made it to the temple.

Who are you all?

How did you get here?

Sir, we came trekking and ended up caught by the forest officer, sir

You'll have to protect us somehow.

Who? Prathap?

Who do they mean?

Maithili's father, right?

I think so!

Brother, its that girl we got admitted in the hospital

Sir, Ram took Suruli to go look for her

So what should I do for you now?

Sir, however you can, please get us safely out of here.

Sir, we've been hiding in the forest for two days,

we don't even understand what's happening…

Let me explain!

Sir, we have heard about your temple

I even spoke to the principal.

Let us stay here just for the night, we'll leave early in the morning, sir.

The situation here isn't great…

There are already many problems

We can't help you much from here maybe move elsewhere…

Sir, please sir, take this as our request

Tomorrow, as soon as the festival finishes, we'll leave, sir

Please sir! Please sir!

Okay!

- Hey, Ezhil? - Brother

- Make sure they stay comfortably - Okay brother, sure

Thank you sir! Thank you!

Guys, come on!

Lets go

Come on guys!

"Who's gonna ask, and who even answers?"

"Mahasena!"

Hey?

What is it?

Why is no one here?

Is everyone hiding behind their wives' back?

Huh?

What a chickens!

Hey Senguttuva? Welcome!

You've come alone like a lion?

You usually come along with wife and gang?

Today, you've come all alone?

Like Lord Shiva himself hiding Ganga in his head

You are keeping a Ganga in my gang!

You've come alone so that your wife doesn't find out, right?

Don't do this Ganga!

I already thought "no" Not to kill your father who killed my father

Where's the statue?

Hey?

You two are acting like some lovey-dovey couple

The baby girl is asking you where is the statue?

Huh?

I've been asking you

You're standing still like a rock?

Hey? Idumba?

Finish him off!

Bring me his head!

Whoa?

Hey?

You thought that's just a lifeless statue?

Its our God, full of life!

Mahasena!

Go!

Hey?

Hey, come with us!

I said come

Come!

Sit down! Kneel

Hey? Senguttuva?

You're a jungle boy who would have seen only wild animals

I'm far crueller than that animal…

The tiger in the town

Shall I bite this and suck out the blood?

This one or this one?

Oh? So, this one?

Take a look!

She's dying because of you!

Because she'd give birth to four cows like you and grazing around

But, poor girl, she's caught by this dog!

Brother?

Oh no! Senguttuva?

Did you really have to kill your sister for nothing?

Next one?

This girl?

"Shall I behead you?"

"Or shall I strangle your neck?"

"You just tell me, dear"

This one looks good, shall I kill her?

Or should I kill this one?

This or that? Should I kill them?

Play!

Senguttuvan cares about them so much!

For the love for his sisters, he will bring the statue for us

Right?

Ganga?

You wanted revenge for your father's death, right?

That whole gang is here!

Its your time, go!

Idumba?

Get the statue!

Yes go!

Hey! They are going to take our statue.

'Hey, don't touch that, no'

My Lord! Yazhishwara!

My Lord!

"O Yaali Ishwara, O Yaali Ishwara, For everything under the sun, you are the Lord."

"He is Sena, he is Shayon , Where he stands that's Yaali Shiva's ground."

"O Yaali Ishwara, O Yaali Ishwara, For everything under the sun, you are the Lord."

Idumba?

Look at that!

Let me introduce myself!

God!

King of Gods!

Don't you get what's happening, you fools…?

God!

He's the God above all your Gods!

God!

Get me that statue!

Bring it to me!

Bring it, man!

Go get it!

Prathap, what's next?

In Kurangani village, there was a fire accident yet again!

children, elders, pregnant women,

Homes, dogs, chickens ,everything burned to ashes

By tomorrow this will be the news everywhere…!

King of Gods!

We're ready for your command!

I am the king of Gods!

So, I command the fire God!

To burn this village

Into ashes!

- Hey? - Jaya?

Leave her, hey?

Hey?

Oh no! Jaya?

- Hey? - Senguttuvan, right?

I've been looking for that statue for ten years now

You know why?

More than the 25 lakhs statues that I own

This statue's value was high

Sorry!

Not a statue! What is it called?

Deity!

Wow!

You look amazing!

If you were a statue!

You'll be in my bed

But you're unlucky

You're just flesh and blood!

God!

She doesn't understand English!

Ganga?

Do you understand the God is saying?

If you were a statue,

He would keep you in his bed and…

Boss! Don't waste time, kill them all

Wait!

I need two heads from two sides

Senguttuva!

Boss, can I take Ganga?

What the hell is that?

Sena has come!

"For everything under the sun, you are the Lord."

"He is Sena, he is Shayon , Where he stands that's Yaali Shiva's ground."

"O Yaali Ishwara, O Yaali Ishwara, For everything under the sun, you are the Lord."

Hey! Grab his hand, stab him

Come on!

Ganga! Huh?

Get lost!

We asked you to bring the statue but you join hands

with senguttuvan and attacking us like a lion?

Hey? Senguttuva?

Your side kick will get kicked in the air!

You traitor!

Dear?

Come on!

Let me go!

Hey?

You're not our God!

Sena!

Mahasena is our God!

Mahasena! Mahasena! Mahasena!

Mahasena! Mahasena!

Mahasena! Mahasena!

Mahasena! Mahasena!

Brother

They shot our Sena

Hey! Look at him

Yes, dude.

He's bleeding!

Hey! Sena? What happened to you?

What happened to Sena?

Sena?

Dad?

Sena is innocent!
