Original subtitles

Legends have said this.

That this place is a madhouse.

In that case,

I, the narrator of this story,

and you, the listeners,

are all crazy.

But when we see somebody crazier than us,

we get shocked.

This is the story of a lunatic who shocked the whole state.

Welcome

to the world of

MADNESS!

These guys are the 'Thalapathy Boys'.

They would give everything they have

for the ones they love.

And some people aren't quite fond of it.

What the hell? Decent people like us gotta go to work!

-Move! You bloody... -Sorry, sir!

Hey! Get down!

Hey, let's go!

-Escape! -Take your car and get lost!

Come on! Let's escape!

-Run! Run! -Stop there, you!

There are some 'poor' rich kids

who consider 'Thalapathy Boys' as their opponents.

It's their ball

rolling straight toward these guys.

They’re definitely coming to question us today.

That ball was a chance they got.

To hustle their rich-kid opponents

and pocket some cash.

The ball you guys hit from here,

it reached his shop, hit his head, and he's bleeding to death now!

-See this? -Cry, uncle!

Impossible!

Yeah.

We know where his shop is.

There's no chance that

our ball changed its direction and went into his shop.

How did he know that?

So, even if it hit him, it won't cause excessive bleeding like this.

You slammed him with the ball, and now you’re talking about math?

Who the hell are you? A computer?

Force!

Acceleration!

Momentum!

Projectile motion!

Bernoulli's principle!

Magnus effect!

-Stop it! -And...

Kinematics!

You don't know shit about any of these! Okay?

We know about 'Kinetic Honda', okay?

-Yeah. -What?

Stop yapping and pay us the compensation!

-Pay us the compensation! -Pay us!

This is acrylic paint! They're faking it!

Oh-no! They got to know that we got the paint from the trash!

Idiots!

-Scram, kids! -Uncle... Please don't go!

Don't go, grandpa...

Clean bowled!

He's a know-it-all on every damn thing.

He's a roaring lion in general knowledge!

Lorry? What's that?

If you got anything to ask, ask him!

And get shocked, listening to his answers!

Come on, let's go.

So embarrassing!

They bowed to those rich kids acting like know-it-alls.

Heads bowed, they kept on thinking.

What could possibly be out there that these losers don’t know?

Ever heard of the guy who kidnapped the state's greatest conman

and became a hero?

You guys are know-it-alls, right?

Answer me! Come on!

Start the timer!

-Ten... -Nine...

Eight...

Seven...

Six...

Five...

Four...

Three...

Two...

ONE!

You lost! You lost!

They're so scared!

Wait there!

Once you ask a question,

you must answer it before you leave!

What's his name?

He doesn't have a name as such.

But he's got a story.

If you want, I can tell you.

Tell us then.

Let us hear it.

Ever since their birth,

they thought their native land belonged to them.

Losing that land was beyond what they could endure.

When the MLA who had vowed to stand by their side,

personally took the initiative to cast them out,

not a single voice was raised in protest.

Having lost everything,

that group was left with no allies and no hope.

They needed a saviour.

And there, before their very eyes,

their hero emerges.

Stop, stop!

What's this? KGF?

-Was it a bit too over-the-top? -A bit too much!

Yes.

Let me tone it down!

The story of these kids begins

on the announcement day of the assembly election results.

There is a reason for the CVP cadres' mad rejoicing

outside a hospital.

Their own leader CK Joseph,

who swept the election by a huge margin,

was admitted to that hospital's ICU that day.

We bought these to blast them wherever sir is, as soon as the results come.

Go outside and do it! Move!

This story's location and year?

You don't get to ask questions in this story.

Shut up and listen.

Madam, ladoo for you?

He must have fainted from the BP spike

caused by the pressure of becoming the CM.

Quite natural.

And it gradually worsened.

As his memory is a bit weak due to his age,

his speech and strength are intact.

-So his revolutionary mind is unharmed. -Yes.

KV Janakiyamma was removed from consideration for chief minister right at the end

and CK Joseph stepped in as the chief minister.

Had they revealed sooner that this loser was their CM pick,

they wouldn't have gotten a single vote!

Careful, sir. Watch out.

Power trip!

The secret from the ICU,

the attender who witnessed it went to the opposition party and informed them.

I struggled a lot to get this news to you, sir.

A day shall come when your struggles will finally end.

-Leave now! -But, sir...

Opposition party cooked up false rumours that CK Joseph was terminally ill.

That news spread like wildfire.

You're done for!

Party workers staged street protests.

They were greeted with beatings.

Quite royally!

I, CK Joseph,

affirm that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution of India

as by law established...

All he knows is to stand beside the elected officials

during his oath ceremony.

No use in boasting that he's a leader.

He should connect with the masses.

He should address them and prove himself.

When the discussions and arguments started heating up,

'Thalapathy Boys' entered the scene.

-He's an absolute goon! -It's all his tricks!

I am coming to see you all.

Tomorrow morning, at 10,

I'm coming to see you to clear up all the rumours about me.

Let's meet tomorrow.

The very place where I, Joseph, started it all.

The place where I first gripped the steering wheel.

I am looking forward to see you all.

Bro...

Who is that officer?

He is commissioner Dev Ji.

Terror!

He's a sensation among today's youth.

Sir.

Ashkar... Exit and entry, all clear?

Yes, sir. The forces are correctly placed.

Yet, it's a bit risky to control this crowd.

But don't worry, sir.

All surveillance is under our control.

So, no risk.

He'll step on it and fall now!

Those are old tales!

What's up? All okay?

Long time no see!

Hey! Shush!

Just kidding!

Stop talking and keep fighting!

-I don't think we can do it. -But their documents aren't of any use.

Hello. Sorry, I'm a bit late.

Did I keep you waiting?

-How are your wife and kids? -Whose?

I'm keeping my bag here.

-Who is he? -I don't know!

It's been a long time since I curled up my moustache!

No need to stand up and respect me!

Sit down! Sit!

Sit, buddy!

After food, let's celebrate like the olden times!

-Okay?! -Yes, yes!

One meals and a fish fry. How much?

90.

-Here you go. -Give me change.

Everybody's paying with 500s and 200s.

Hey, boy...

I'm paying for your food, okay?

What for?

Hadn't I told you in advance, Suresh?

Now you're saying you got only half of the folks?

Don't play, okay?

Careful, sir.

Should you be going in this car today, sir?

The Innova is ready.

I have to.

I am adamant about it.

The first car that I bought.

The car that's on my mother's name.

Dad...

Folks around here act as if you're dying from some incurable disease!

Why are you getting worried?

I am going to a place

that I consider the safest on this earth.

I am going to meet my party cadres.

When I stand among them,

nothing wrong will happen to me.

Even if somebody tries to harm me somehow,

there will be one guy in the crowd to protect me.

Bombay isn't no big deal for me.

Here or there, it's all the same for me.

Nobody even touched me.

They won't dare touch me!

-Aren't you Chittilanchery Nandu? -Yes.

The same guy who hacked two guys to death during the elections and went to jail?

Whoa! Hold my tea!

My goodness!

-I'm your big fan! -Really?

How on earth are you pulling this off?

It's so simple, my boy.

After holding the guy's head,

think about cutting a watermelon,

and cut it crosswise.

-The guy's head? -Yes!

And the kneecap, you know,

slice it the same way you cut veggies for making chips.

Tell me about the head thing once again.

It's so simple.

Hold the head,

Like a watermelon,

make a cross-mark and split it into four,

make him bend down, and punch on his abdomen...

Hey, I'm not yet done!

Ugh! Forget it!

-See! I have fans! -Nice!

Eh? Whose tea is this?

-Isn't it yours? -I don't care!

Ashkar, how many such pricks are here?

Sir, more than double or triple of what we anticipated.

Move! Move away!

Give way, man!

Please move. Please give way.

Sir!

Give me your hand, sir!

Move!

Dear people...

If you ask why Lorrythavalam turned into a wave of excitement,

I have just one answer.

Our beloved leader, Mr CK Joseph!

He's here for you, only you!

Brother... Tender coconut for the CM.

Suresh was supposed to deliver it!

-He's gone to the toilet. -Alright, give it.

-For you? -Keep it, I'll come.

Hurry up then.

Sir, tender coconut for you.

-Don't you want one? -No. You have it.

I should show him some 'extra' respect.

Now let's hear the voice we all waited for!

Our very own leader!

Our Chief Minister,

CK Joseph!

Such a nuisance he is!

Dear people...

The events that have unfolded here

over the past few days,

you probably already know about them.

The human brain is

quite something.

For my party,

and for this land,

even if I have to sacrifice a part of my brain,

I will do it.

But if anyone dares question my memory or strength...

These hands are strong from gripping the steering wheel.

This hand knows much more than

just raising slogans or waving flags.

The ones spreading false rumours about me,

I know how to beat the shit out of them!

After saying this, slowly clench your fist.

Then raise your hand.

As your hand goes up,

you'll see the cadre's excitement rise.

No need to wait then.

Raise your hand fully and roar the slogans!

The crowd will erupt in cheers!

-Hail CVP! -Hail!

-Hail CVP! -Hail!

-Hail CVP! -Hail!

-Hail... -Hail!

Oh-no! What happened? Are you alright?

What happened, sir?

Hey, CK? Are you OK?

What happened? Chest pain? Heart attack?

I gotta take a dump!

Sir? Take a dump?

Idiot... Turn off the mic!

Can we bring the toilet here?

We got a toilet nearby.

It's run by the government.

Would any sane person use the government toilet?

It's build with your mother's funds!

Please hold on for a while, sir. Suresh will be here soon.

Who is Suresh?

Hey! Bring the car for CM!

Give way!

Give way!

Hey! Hey!

Give way, Idiots!

People without cameras, please move!

Hey! Take a close shot of mine!

Move! Where are you, Ashkar?

Where are you sir? I'm unable to control the crowd!

I'm stuck somewhere here!

Hop him in!

-Hurry up! -Move!

-Careful! -Move! Please!

Stop rushing, please give way!

Please relax and give way!

Go ahead.

CM's condition is critical.

Please, rush me to the toilet right away!

Josutty...

Please ask them to turn off the wireless set!

They're gonna ruin my image!

Oh-no...

It's you?

This is gonna be a problem!

A huge problem!

Listen, Nandu bro...

Those sitting beside the CM,

I don't think they're from our party.

Nandu bro...

Their plan is to take advantage of CM's illness

and cause him trouble.

Yes.

Please go faster, brother!

Bloody scums!

So, how's it gonna be?

Shall we go?

He's always ready!

Raise the flag high upon the mountain

Let the world feel its thunder

His punches pack power!

The lone elephant moves in raw power

His punches pack power!

No one dares to stand in his path

His punches pack power!

His punches pack power!

Hello, Cobras.

Are you able to hear me? Over. Over.

I hereby take away the Chief Minister of our state.

I'm hauling him off

while thousands of his party workers and police stand watch.

Our state government? Just a scarecrow looking on.

What's next? It's a big question mark.

Until we meet again, adios.

From a common man.

-Common man? -Adios?

Somebody kidnapped the Chief Minister!

-Go find him! -Come on!

-Hey, Ashkar! -Go search for him!

Somebody kidnapped our leader! Hello? Hello?

Right under the very eyes of thousands of party cadres,

and the police force that was supposed to provide ironclad protection,

our Chief Minister CK Joseph was

brazenly kidnapped by a single assailant!

Please don't get me wrong. I'm planting a bomb.

Even lightning cannot shake his spirit

He marches on, his smile fierce and unbroken

The cops are following you.

Did you do anything dirty before getting into the car?

How can the cops not follow us?

After all, who have I kidnapped?

The CM!

Hey, you!

The law will run its course.

Won't it, sir?

A bomb is on its way, watch out!

Live from the scene, we have our reporter, Prasanth Amaravila.

Prasanth, what’s all this nonsense happening over there?

Madhu, I’m at the scene. It’s chaos here.

Can anyone with half a brain even believe this?

You are right, Madhu.

-Prasanth, speak up! Prasanth! -Let me talk, Madhu.

Sir, we had the spot fully covered.

All party workers were under control, sir.

-Suddenly he had to take a dump… -What?!

Damn! This guy…!

-Control! -I’m sorry, sir.

He had a personal emergency,

and our entire plan went haywire, sir.

In the rush to get the CM to the hospital,

some party workers jumped into the car, sir.

I could’ve arrested him right then.

But I didn’t, sir.

Dev Ji, can you hold it for a sec?

Correct.

Sir, in the next few hours,

we’ll give the lead updates.

Jump out, baby!

Nice!

Bro, one Telma.

How many mg?

Doesn’t matter. Grandpa’s already one foot in the grave.

Hey kid, give him that antibiotic too.

Anything else?

-And a nipple bottle. -Nipple bottle…

How much?

1600 rupees.

-Vavamani, come! -Oh no, already here?

Get in the car.

-Hey boy. -Tell me.

Can you put this bag in the car, please?

No.

Do it!

Bag in the car!

Shall I go, dear?

Jing chak! Scram, you!

The CM!

Sir…

“Power’s out again?

What is all this?

Sir, the power’s gone.

I hate this crappy light when the power goes.

Me too.

-Fix it fast. -Sir.

Oh no! Dev Ji is here. Sir, come.

Sir…

-Sir… -What is this?

-Come here! -What is it, sir?

-Songs during duty?! -Sorry, sir.

What the hell is this?

What can I say, sir? All hell’s broken loose!

Calls keep pouring non-stop.

All fake, sir.

-Who told you that? -In movies, that’s how it is.

Damn his movie obsession!

Even the IG and DGP have switched off their phones, sir.

Here, we’re getting four times the calls.

-Sir, power’s back. -That's good.

No call should go unanswered.

Understand?

Sit there, you!

Hey, Mohanlal…

-It’s Mohandas, sir. -Whatever!

The kidnapped guy isn’t just some random street guy.

It’s Joseph.

I’ve requested the National Agency to take over the case.

They’ll reach here soon.

That’s best, sir.

You know why this pressure’s here, right?

Who’s coming?

I know, sir.

Enough! Stop ringing, I’m coming.

Hello.

Where?!

When?!

SIR…

After hundreds of fake calls to the Central Station,

one authentic call got through.

The vehicle used to abduct the CM has been located.

Sir, only a diaper was found.

-Shit! -That too, sir.

Nonsense!

Ashkar, leave it and

track the surroundings.

Every thread is important.

-Okay, sir. -Yes.

Sir, should we send the diaper to forensics?

What miracle will they find in that filth?

Here comes Joseph’s dearest son!

The NEA boy!

Who’s this now?

Did this guy come from Chennai on a missile?

Doesn’t NEA come from Delhi, sir?

Yes, but he only comes from Chennai.

The moment you heard “Chennai”, you’d know.

Yes, it’s him.

Joseph’s dearest son, the NEA boy

From here on, the Thalapathy boys will tell their story.

Welcome. Commissioner, take charge.

I’m the Police Commissioner, and this is the Assistant Commissioner.

-And this is… -Mohandas, the District Collector, sir.

What’s the update?

Nothing other than a diaper.

It’s there, sir.

Shit!

After that insane search for your dad,

this little packet of shit is all we got, you must be surprised!

I never meant it like that, sir.

I barely walked in, and you’re already ready to fight?

You kept saying you got info.

Who is this informer?

Who is it?

Who is the informer?

Sir…

Sir, it's me!

It was me. I saw it, sir.

Sir, I mean I saw them… don’t smack me.

Lost your tongue all this while?

-Easy, man. -I’m used to this, sir.

Come here, boy.

-Your name? -Sijo.

Then why didn’t you tell anyone you were the informer?

Sir, nobody asked me.

Yeah, how could you tell when no one asked?

Okay, tell me. What did you see?

Sir, I’m a sigma male.

Good.

So obviously, I have mood swings.

And when that hits, being a wanderlust,

I go stand on hills, valleys, water bodies… just like that.

For what?

While standing there, I saw it.

What?

A vehicle, an unusual one.

Checked the number… it was “1.”

Since I follow the news, I understood instantly.

Called the police station many times. Nobody picked up.

Called again and again, mood swings hitting peak, sir.

Then someone finally answered.

I told them and hung up.

Do you remember how many people were in the car?

I saw someone who looked like Joseph, sir.

Like Joseph?

No, it was him. I’m sure.

And there was a lady, sir.

Age?

50–55.

And…

And?!

One more guy, sir.

Sir, I was in a dark mood… couldn’t see clearly.

-Sheesh! -Sorry.

Then where did you go?

I hid here, sir. Didn’t want them to spot me.

Sir, this is a cursed area.

Many have jumped and died here.

-Their spirits wander here. -So?

So almost no chance they escaped from here.

Otherwise, someone would’ve arranged a car or boat.

At that time, it was only me, sir.

-Could be true. -Believe me.

Sir, we have some key findings.

There are only two ways to escape from here.

Either by car, or by boat.

Exactly what I said, sir.

Just that I don’t have stars on my shoulder.

-Come here! -No, sir.

Is this all he got?

Sensitive information and findings like this shouldn’t go public.

We should be confidential.

Where is he?

Where is he?!

He was misleading us.

-No. -Then?

He was leading us to the right path.

He had something to say

and he said it.

What?!

But from now on, none of their plans will work.

The one who arrived is the OG,

their ultimate boss!

Wow! The boomer vibe!

The arrival of the man!

The man of intelligence.

From this moment, my role model.

No more cringe now.

Energy will flow like fire in my blood

No more cheesy moves

Brand new wildfire

-Sir, not coming in? -No.

His minions are ready there for applause,

fooled by this usual gimmicks.

But I, Dev Ji, won’t play along.

And I have my reasons.

What reasons, sir?

Can’t reveal them right now.

Take your own time, sir.

Top-shot officer stepping into the scene

Truth on his side with a fire so clean

Every move locked in, precision like steel,

Heart of a warrior, power you can feel

Vision razor-sharp, already seen the win,

You…

Ah, me!

You.

And you.

-Sir, what about me? -Join in.

No more cheesy moves

Thank you, sir.

From today, for the team I’ve picked… no uniform.

Sir, colour shirt and khaki pants, like a mufti outfit?

-Break all clichés, buddy! -Okay, sir.

Ugh!

Brand new wildfire

Sir, isn’t his father missing?

And yet he’s walking back and forth in slow motion?

And that’s the only thing that bothers you?

Hey, this is all show off!

If they crossed the traffic island,

some CCTV should have caught them, right?

Sir, the cameras here don’t work properly.

Then why have cameras at all?

Exactly, sir. Everyone’s asking the same.

Best!

Wildfire! Wildfire! Wildfire!

Brand new wildfire

Note that point.

I was about to tell you that.

If we check the time the CM’s car was spotted here…

how long to arrange a vehicle and cross the border?

Come on, say it.

Given the road conditions here,

you could go 60-80 km/h.

Not enough time for them to cross the border yet, sir.

Arjuna’s aim, Harischandra’s word

and his courage are unbreakable

Crush your enemies, climb the Himalayas

Nothing can stop you

Who is he?

Is he water or fire? Nobody knows

A mighty banyan’s root

Who dares to shake it?

CM...

your place is here!

Did you see the CM’s run?!

He might feel like pooping for an hour after that tender coconut,

but he can’t.

The hour’s up…

time for the dam to burst!

Comfort… peace… out!

I’ve seen that guy somewhere.

Come on!

Don’t mess with me!

Hi Pookie!

Bought this dress on a guess… but it fits perfectly.

Show me your hand.

Here, Indian bucks.

Hey, do you know this guy?

He looks familiar.

Yeah, yeah.

He’s the CM of our state.

And I’m the PM of the state.

Get going. Oh, good Lord!

Believe me, sir.

I swear on my mother, honestly, I don’t know.

I promise on my mother, sir!

Sir, when some random dude offers to pay my food,

I wasn’t classy or fancy enough to say no!

You enjoy free food too, don’t you?

Hey, you!

What I mean is… it’s not a bad thing.

Noble sir…

-Wait. -Who’s that?

We found the two people who were with him in the lodge.

We asked repeatedly,

but they kept saying, “Mother promise, we don’t know a thing.

I don’t know about their mother, sir.

But on my own mother, I swear, I don’t know a thing!

No.

Greetings.

He introduced himself as a big fan of mine.

Then he asked how to behead someone and learned everything.

He isn’t the usual face we’d see in political meetings.

So it’s a bit hard to recognize him.

[On TV] Clashes have started at multiple places.

Party members have intervened.

How is this being handled now, Mr. Godson Ancharakandy?

Godson Ancharakandy joins us. Speak, Godson.

Madhu, what I don’t understand is,

this isn’t petty theft for Joseph’s son to investigate.

I’ve heard this voice somewhere…

Who’s this?

Sir, locals call him the “Interview Star.”

Godson Ancharakandy.

He goes for interviews and blabbers

all nonsense about his parents and brother.

If he steps in the field, sir, you’ll be in trouble.

You should fear him. You have to!

Yes, Madhu.

Speak up, Godson. Can you hear me? Can you?

Godson Ancharakandy!

And one more point,

the entire state is terrified, yet opposition remains silent.

Get lost, you!

What can the opposition do?

Uno!

He lost here too!

-You doubt me? -A little.

Some rascal kidnapped him out of grudge

and now you’re all pointing fingers at me!

Years ago, during the Nedungottum Kaavu festival,

our clash story began.

I’ve heard a lot about it.

If I wanted to do something to him,

I’d have done it years ago.

Oh, mother!

What happened? I dozed off for a sec.

Why is he puking like that?

It stinks!

Where on earth are you dragging me through this forest?

Not a forest, sir.

This is the road.

As elections near, you all show up,

promise to fix roads, then vanish.

Once you win, you get busy

and forget everything.

Come on, let’s take this road and straighten your backbone.

Time to shake that big body of yours!

Shake your father’s body, loser!

Hey! Don’t you dare mention my father!

What will you do?

Calm down, man.

Didn’t he say it already?

This isn’t a trip. It’s a kidnapping.

Start planning how you’ll run from us.

I don’t need to plan anything.

Why?

If I want to leave,

I’ll just leave.

-Oh! -Oh!

-Run! Run! -Go fast!

Escape, sir!

Run and escape!

Run from us kidnappers!

Where the hell is this place?

No clue.

-Have you been here before? -First time for me.

Same here.

-Go, sir. -Rickshaw, sir? Need a rickshaw?

Rickshaw! Rickshaw! Stop, stop!

Son, he’s the Chief Minister.

Drop him at the Secretariat.

What do you want me to do for you?

Say it.

Say it!

I’ll say it.

Not now. Later.

You’re playing childish games with the state’s Chief Minister!

Oh, my dear sir!

Right under the watch of the police

and your countless supporters,

I kidnapped you!

Yet you think this is just child’s play?

Huh?

Is this how his eyes are?

And nose?

No nose, sir… I mean, this isn’t his nose, sir!

What happened?

Sir, still have to draw the mouth. Will finish soon.

Not before fixing the nose!

Give clear instructions so you can leave fast.

Sir, we have someone else who knows his whereabouts well.

If you interrogate him…

Say it properly!

Did you see him?

Yes, sir, I did.

There were two people with the CM.

One was a woman around 50–55 years old.

And there was one more guy.

I clearly saw them.

Where did you see them?

Near Kevalgodapuram, sir.

Ah!

This guy?

No, not this one, sir.

-Look again. -He looked nothing like that, sir.

I know how he looks.

I’ll draw him for you.

I need a canvas.

[Upbeat rap beats thumping]

-This… -It’s him, sir!

He’s the one who paid for my meals and landed me in this mess!

YES! Get lost, you!

Sir,

If what he said is true…

we have a big problem.

What is it?

He’s blind, sir.

Yes, sir.

Blind?!

Did you see him?

I saw him, sir.

Did you really see him?!

Yeah! I really did!

He can’t, sir. He’s really blind.

Sir… sir… sir…

Human‑rights issues are already coming up.

I’ll take care of him, leave him to me.

Put him in the interrogation cell.

Let me ask him what he actually “saw.”

I know, Noble is doing nothing.

Okay, bye.

So, historian means…?

Sir, that’s someone who digs out skeletons and pots,

studies them, wins awards--

NO!

That’s an archaeologist.

I am a historian.

Someone who analyses history, studies it,

and continues studying it even today.

I have a PhD in World Political Affairs.

That too,

27 years ago, from University College London!

It's very hot here!

Fine. So why are you here now?

A state’s Chief Minister

has been kidnapped from a public event.

Right in front of the locals and police.

Without guns or bombs.

Cheap tactics to drag someone out

of a large protection network.

Cheap,

but very clever plans.

That’s how they work.

But we can save our Chief Minister…

using history itself.

It’s all in the book I wrote.

Solutions lie in history.

And history is with me.

Mom,

We won’t have to wait much longer.

Oh no! Does that mean we’ll never get Dad back?

We’ve already gathered all the details about him.

With witness statements and mappings, we can act immediately--

Stop.

You’ve got them all, the ones who stayed with him,

ate with him,

slept with him.

But can you confidently say

who this ‘him’ really is?

I know bringing my husband back is is crucial,

Knowing who that guy is...

matters just as much.

We are the gangsters in style

Ain’t no control over anything

Yes, we are mad!

Where is this place?

I’m not a minister in your assembly to answer all your questions.

His assembly? Forget that.

Hi guys.

Here’s your giveaway!

Look at this, did he really kidnap Joseph?

Come, come, everyone.

After the election, we hardly see him.

-See him properly. -Fans! Fans!

Give him a big cheer!

Oh no! His teeth?

Phew, only his glasses!

Control! Everybody, stop!

Hand him over to us.

Sit here.

You need to mingle with the people sometimes.

Not the party workers, but the public.

Only then can you truly feel what they feel.

Exactly!

Oh, poor guy! Sweating from all those beatings.

I’ll wipe it off.

These cheeks, like ripe red apples!

-I need to… -You need to?

Make a phone call.

Phone?!

Alright?

Hello.

Ah, it’s me.

Where are you now?

Hello?

Did they hurt you?

No.

I’m alright.

I’ll come back… stronger.

Also, tell Noble--

Hello? Hello?

Can’t you just tell your wife you’re alive and end it?

Didn’t I already tell you this is very expensive?

Are you misusing your freedom?

Hello? Hello?

Hello? Hello?

-A voice that doesn’t fit! -Hello, who’s this?

Who’s this?

-That’s my son. -Hello?

-HEY! -Hi son!

Who the hell are you?

You came from Chennai, right?!

So what?

I’m not asking about your investigation.

That may hurt your feelings.

To the cyber team tracing my calls with computers and headsets…

my respectful greetings.

Shit!

How does he know?

I’m hanging up, huh?

Otherwise, you’ll catch me before I even think.

-Okay. -Hey, no! Stop!

Get lost, you.

Got it!

Sir, we’ve traced his location. It’s Yugoslavia.

-NONSENSE! -Why, sir?

No, sir.

There really is such a place.

You wanted to stomp on his chest, right?

Hey, dear.

Enough. Just release him now.

Release him outside?

Stop kidding.

I hear they’ll bring a huge force for him.

maybe even the Black Force after a while.

Let them come.

Shall we cut his hands off?

And all the Hindi channels have started covering it too.

Really?

Hindi channels?!

Your portrait is all over the place!

Mahi is just awesome!

If we wait two more days,

will it appear on foreign channels too?

Yeah, may be in English channels.

Oh, English too?

Then let’s wait two more days.

No, dear. Let’s not delay this.

Shall we finish him right away?

No uncles.

Now begins my show!

Yes, we are mad!

We are the gangsters in style

Ain’t no control over anything

Stepping in loud,

This is our flame

Ah, sharp!

Every move we make redefines the game

Power in our stride

Shadows fall behind

Dominance in motion

We were born to rise

Yes, we are mad!

There you go!

Come on, topple him!

Wanna join, sir?

He can’t! He’s never done real work in his life.

Just a few fiery lines and some hand-raising!

That’s all he knows!

-HEY! -No.

I could easily knock out this whole boomer gang of yours

and walk out.

But if I do,

you’ll vanish, untraceable.

And thousands of scumbags like you would keep popping up.

So however you dragged me here,

you’ll drop me back the exact same way.

Until then, I’ll be right here.

You may check the history to confirm if I'm telling you the truth or not.

We will check that later.

You tell us the matter first.

Exposing society's wrongdoers to the public.

By doing so, their objective is

to convince the police and the public that they have the moral high ground.

They will try to look like heroes fighting for justice,

instead of the thugs who kidnapped the CM.

They will go to any lengths to get public support.

Public's trust and love.

That's their primary target.

If you know that much, surely you know their next plan?

Sir!

You don't have to go anywhere to find it out.

It will come.

It will.

'Message from the common man who kidnapped the CM'

Sir!

Hello.

You must've realized who I am.

Because my face is plastered across every corner of this state now.

Shit!

I’m trending everywhere right now!

Let me come to the point now.

They conduct protests on the road, disguised as a good deed for society,

but in reality, it is for their own benefit alone.

These protests disrupt the public,

and we won't let that happen anymore.

If any party workers or its leaders initiate such deeds,

the public will confidently raise their voices against it.

All your complaints,

you may drop them in the 'Jayabharathi Biscuits' van

parked at the old municipal bus stand.

Your Chief Minister will review your complaints

and work towards finding solutions for them.

And, I don't want any credit for this.

You may claim that, officers!

And mind it, this isn't my order.

It's an order from the one and only Chief Minister!

Daddy!

Do you have anything to say, CM sir?

What, man?

I don't have anything to say.

You heard it, didn't you?

He doesn't have anything to say apart from this.

And,

to execute the 'Talk to your CM' plan,

we require full support and protection from the police.

If you don't do this now,

I will make Joseph,

I mean, the CM of the state

star in his own cabaret, belly dance, and pole dance videos,

and I'll make sure those reels go viral!

How's that?

So, what do you say?

Shall we proceed?

Until we meet again, adios!

Chief, chief

Which is this song?

So, will we get biryani tomorrow also?

If they distribute brother's notice tomorrow, we'll get it tomorrow also! Awesome!

Which song is this, sir?

How does it matter, man?!

Who's this 'common man'?

All eyes are fixed on one thing now.

The vehicle that's filled with the hopes of the public.

Who will come to claim it?

The power of public

That’s the hook, we legit

Stand strong in a system that's democratic

Voices rise up, every vote is symbolic

Move! Move them away! Move!

Move! Move back!

Move, I said!

We don't have the power or the connections,

to just walk in to the politicians' house, chat with them,

and get what we want.

It’s not every day we get such an opportunity.

Please don't take it away from us, sir!

Leave now, sir!

Leave!

The power of public

That’s the hook, we legit

Stand strong in a system that's democratic

Move!

Every vote is symbolic

We call it Republic The people make it epic

Public's trust and love.

That's their primary target.

'Mudhalvan' effect!

All eyes on 'Jayabharathi Biscuits'!

Hey, you!

Move your car! Haven't I told you not to park here?

-It's not my car, sir! -Is it your father's, then?

-He too doesn't own such a car. -Don't try to act smart, okay?

You'll have a tough time!

Leave it and come here, sir. Gotta do quite a lot of checking here.

Okay!

Whatever movement happens, communicate to me immediately.

Who's that?

Hello?

The plan is on!

-Complan? -Are you drunk?

I'm Sijo. Remember the plan we made? It's on!

You should tell me clearly!

I'll handle the rest.

I'll handle it. Okay!

Yes, the plan is on

Together we stand

Together we roar

Core team, what's happening?

We don't understand, sir! It's drainage water!

Yes, the plan is on

Where did that vehicle come from? Who's in it?

Ashkar! Go! Go!

Come on!

-Go! Go! -Come on!

Block that vehicle!

-Force alert! Get ready for fire! -Move! Move!

No, sir! Lots of civilians are around! Don't shoot!

Go that way. I'll join you!

Force! Follow the green Qualis!

You won't be able to touch us!

Move away, you!

Yes, the plan is on

Together we stand

Together we roar

Move!

You bloody...

Stop watching and go catch them!

Okay, sir!

I marked you the day I saw you.

-Where is he? -I won't tell you!

What has he thought of himself?

Is this a Telugu movie?

He thinks he can play the hero right under my nose and get away with it?

Stay still!

This is his endgame!

I will draw the curtain on his show with this!

Five legs march

Five eyes watch the world

Five fingers reach for the skies

Thirty police vans are chasing him down right now!

That was really a bad move, sir.

You should've thought about the families of those police officers.

Yes, the plan is on

Hey, I'm here.

Was my dialogue not punchy enough?

No, you caught the correct meter!

Really?

Yes, the plan is on

Laugh, all of you! Laugh!

He is a magnificent tiger

His claws carve like chisels of stone

Even his enemies know his might

To make him bite the dust,

the Assistant Commissioner of police, Ashkar has accompanied my force!

Ashkar!

That's an excellent move!

Assistant Commissioner Ashkar, and our brother,

they share a cringe-worthy flashback that you guys don't know about.

Buddy...

Don't be sad that you're alone.

I will be there for you.

Forever.

Unbreakable, unstoppable, determined

This bond we have

A thirty-vehicle chase... just like our brother wanted.

His friend set the whole thing up for him.

Hands up high, shouting 'Friendship forever'

We hold each other, help each other

Rock and roll blast, we ride together

Oo la la la la, friendship forever

Our brother knew the pain of being ignored by everyone.

So, when he saw the police chasing him,

there was a strange sparkle in his eyes.

Look at that! An ocean of cops chasing me!

I'm gonna rock this!

That beast of a machine y'all cheered for in pan-Indian films?

Our brother had it too!

Hey, police!

Relax, and don't panic.

Chill! Chill! Chill!

None of your guns will...

fire a shot.

Why, sir?

Because,

there are no bullets in them.

Try it!

Aren't there bullets, sir?

That's what I told you, right?

The twist is...

I am...

his man.

Yeah!

Friends forever!

And the bigger twist is...

he's going to shoot you all right now.

-Bro... -Yes, bro?

Hit 'em all, don't miss it!

This time...

I won't miss it!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Yes!

The thrill is real, isn't it?

Thanks to China rocket!

Next!

Torpedo!

If you thought the show ended with those fireworks,

you are wrong.

Oh, yeah!

What's the mood?

Party mood!

Yes!

This song is for y'all!

Torpedo... What is this?

Why do you do this, man?

Could there be a better song for your fight sequence?

Knock it out of the park!

Let's party!

Come closer, Lord Krishna

You, the essence of charm and triumph divine

Come closer, Lord Krishna

You, the essence of charm and triumph divine

Aren’t you the gentle cuckoo?

Aren’t you the voice of the flute?

Aren’t you the cherished pot of butter, O Krishna?

Aren’t you the gentle cuckoo?

Aren’t you the voice of the flute?

Aren’t you the cherished pot of butter, O Krishna?

What am I witnessing?

My heart burned in the flash of your eyes

And your milky smile healed it away

My heart burned in the flash of your eyes

And your milky smile healed it away

My anklets are singing, my bangles move to the beat

Come with me, my sweet, dream-filled lover

I’ll come close to you, swift as a cupid’s arrow

I’ll pour the essence of love just for you

If you step toward me, I’ll give you everything

My Stella, my Bella, I’m always your fella

Sona, Sona, you’re numero uno

The numero uno of enthralling charm

Sona, Sona, I’m numero uno

The numero uno of groovy storm

Shake it up, shake it up, Baby, shake it little off that body

Shake it up, shake it up

Sona, Sona

Pump it up, pump it up, O girl, little off that body

Pump it up, pump it up

With the thunderous beats of chenda and mridangam

The temple erupts in celebration with drums and dance

Celebration with drums and dance

With dazzling displays of martial arts and skill

The fighters strike and spin in perfect rhythm

In perfect rhythm

The oracles sway in sacred trance

The orchestra pours its sound into the air

Twist!

The orchestra pours its sound into the air

The sounds of devotion flood the space

My black shirt!

Oh, my goodness!

Noble calling?

What's up, Noble boy?

Such a shame!

Listen up, man!

After the twist,

me and Ashkar have

beaten the shit out of your police force!

Was there really a need for all this?

Hey...

How dare you try to thrash me using your police?

Now, listen up.

No matter how hard you try,

you won't be able to find me.

Not just me.

This filthy father of yours, too!

Hey, man!

Stop bulging your eyes and holding your breath just to look serious!

If you have a dialogue, say it!

Hey, you!

The skills I mastered through

training at academies all around the country,

my intelligence,

my experience.

I will use them all to hunt you down.

I will stand face to face with you.

And I will kill you.

I will hunt you down, you piece of shit!

Hunt who?

I will hunt you down!

Oh-no!

Humpty-dumpty sat on a wall

Twinkle twinkle, little star

Hey! Hey!

If you still rely on your old tricks,

you’ve underestimated the new generation!

Aren't you new to this genre, sir?

Whether old or new,

how about we give it a shot, sir?

If you won't get sad, I will tell you one more thing.

The officer who couldn't stand a chance against our brother...

He's your dad.

And the other guy who got kidnapped...

He's your grandpa.

Now, don't you wanna know who our brother is? The one behind all this?

Don't you wanna know what made our brother crazy enough

to kidnap your grandpa?

Wait and watch!

Hey!

Tell us the rest.

Your father’s standing there, totally crushed,

and you’re still eager to hear the rest of the story!

Your fire is wild!

Even post-break, the boy’s still hooked on our story!

You tell the rest.

If this random bro is a hero to you,

then my dad is

a full-on superhero to me.

Sir…

He thrashed us completely, sir.

"THE HERO SMASHES THROUGH THE VILLAIN’S FORCES"

"AND KEEPS THE MAYHEM ROLLING."

Mayhem rolling?!

Shekhar…

Clear this ASAP.

No point, sir.

Because,

Half the town has seen it.

Just look behind us.

Sir, he smashed so many cops and the opposition is still silent?

We’re aware.

Aware?

-We’re still reviewing it. -What is this, sir?

Then call the Black Force, sir.

All that’s already been raised with High Command.

Yes, yes…

Please have tea and snacks, okay?

-Noble. -Yes?

Black Force sent their first report.

According to it…

this kidnapping isn’t for ransom

or to free anyone from prison.

Sir, I know that. I’m already running behind it.

-Yeah, you good boy. -Thank you, sir.

Sir, one more thing, never fully trust the Black Force.

Funny… that’s exactly what they say about you.

What do you think?

[In Malayalam] Damn mutts, all of you!

The glow he had when he dropped that punchy dialogue…

it’s fading now.

But our bro was super cool.

Oh no…

That man lost his sleep and appetite.

Our bro took your grandpa and kept marching on in victory.

I will kill you, bloody!

In your father’s police station…

only one man was left smiling.

Sir, good morning. Aren’t you reading the newspaper?

I’ll take that. Go.

Okay.

Your father froze when he saw that special edition.

Sir, this one’s original. That one’s fake!

Something’s fishy.

Who delivered the paper today?

Kids from the next colony, sir. They deliver around here.

-Small kids. -I want them.

-Small kids? -Age or size doesn’t matter.

My father wasn’t kidnapped by Jackie Shroff with a gun and jacket.

Jackie Shroff?

Grab the kids.

Sir.

Sir, when we get bundles of papers or notices,

we deliver them everywhere.

We get paid for it.

Sometimes even biryani.

That notice about the CM visiting,

we delivered that too, for party workers.

But when we asked for money, they ditched us.

But our bro isn’t 'political.'

He’s only 'correct!'

Do you know these people?

Yeah, we know him.

Do you know him?

No.

That loser sitting there?

No.

Hey, clowns! Don’t you dare lie to me!

You’ve got direct links to the CM’s kidnapper. I know it.

Who is he? Where is he? Come on!

Sir…

Sir… that…

Sir, that’s something we’re not supposed to tell you.

If you don’t spill the truth,

I’ll beat you into soup!

Sir, what do you think Human Rights are for?

To pluck mangoes?!

Look there!

Sir…

I’ve come to get these kids released.

Here, my coat.

You might know my name, sir.

Advocate Mukundan Unni.

The original.

Hello.

Don’t you know it's illegal

to make minors do this kind of work, lawyer?

No one’s forcing them, sir.

These brats, my clients,

leave home on their own

and do this purely by choice.

-Yes! -Yes…!

As usual, all the papers are inside.

Come on, kids.

Firebrand!

Gimme the soda.

Breaking News: A young man who threatened

to kill the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister on social media

is now absconding.

Police on high alert.

Who’s this nutcase now?

My mind wasn’t at peace.

I came into this forest seeking some peace, sir.

My bike got a puncture.

Could I get a lift?

Stop wasting time. Move your bike. Move! Move!

-Thank you, sir. -Useless fellow!

I didn’t ask you to get in my jeep! Move out of the way! Hey, no!

He’s doing the exact opposite of what he's told!

-He’s just your type. -Get going, sir.

I’ll end your thug-guy talk soon!

Who is he, sir? Your father?

Shut up, loser.

This handcuff is confusing me.

Is your dad insane, sir?

You’re not stepping out until you tell me where he took him.

Sir, let me go!

Come on, spill it!

Sir…

Sir, I’ll tell you.

Hey!

-No! -Let go!

Teacher,

ever heard of journalism?

It’s not about shouting whatever nonsense pops into your head.

There are upright journalists

who work sincerely, with real backbone.

For exposing a corrupt politician who ruined the state,

he was branded a lunatic,

locked up in a mental hospital, and even jailed.

Can you imagine destroying someone's life like that, teacher?

They locked him up once.

He’ll lock them up...

in a far worse way.

He’ll take revenge for every single thing they did to him.

Media,

Press,

I’ll seek justice and retaliate through the same channels!

No matter how big the person standing against me,

I will avenge!

Shouldn’t I strike back at the people

who ruined my life?

Shouldn’t I at least do that?

Who is he?

Krishnamurthy, sir…

Our GK.

GK!

Madam, don’t you get what he’s ranting about?

Even I’m wondering who that journalist is.

Madam, that’s Mammootty!

Mammootty?!

This liar is narrating the plot of the movie ‘New Delhi’!

Bloody rascal!

Did you actually believe me?

Too good! I’ll die laughing.

Hey…

HEY!

What a superb frame, sir!

-Switch it off! Off! -Sir…

My dad passed away early, sir.

But you’re blessed, sir.

Uncle…

you too.

Outside, the media’s waiting to grill you with questions.

They’re hanging on every word you’ll say, teacher.

There’s a huge crowd outside.

But where did these people go?

I'll kill that Suresh today!

Huh?

Who’s there now?

Don’t merely say ‘I have the findings

explain exactly what they are, Godson! Let the public know!

Bro will tell everything! Everything! Everything!

See, see, see

Everything I know,

along with proof, is inside this file.

I’m going in to clear the air.

Move aside, make way for him.

Godson...

Hey no! Bro hates this stuff!

Hey, stop!

Please, Godson.

One selfie, please. I'm your fan.

Greetings!

Sir, this is Godson Ancharakandy.

He claims he’s got some findings.

Ah, what’s up, sir?

Sir, come, let’s sit and talk.

Who are you to bringing findings, a cop?

Ah, good question!

My bro climbed every rung to become a cop,

and almost made it to the top.

-Right, bro? -Exactly!

Go ahead, bro.

Even after passing all tests, they rejected me

just for my tiny pot belly!

If you cared that much, just trim the belly!

Look at yourself!

My dear sir…

In a 70-year life, the first 20,

everyone, family, neighbours, society, pushes milk, rice, eggs down your throat,

shaping your body.

Then suddenly they go,

‘Lose that belly to get a job… lose that belly to get a girl!’

Crushing you, blaming all your problems on your belly.

Then you live anxious, never enjoying your favourite food.

Many die full of guilt, never living the life they wanted, sir.

But I am different!

you must’ve heard, sir.

Same same, but different!

-Not done yet! -Okay, continue.

So, sir, listen carefully.

I want to eat what I love, enjoy it fully, gulp everything down,

and die as a food vlogger, sir.

My precious life isn’t a sacrifice for some job or a random girl.

Because it’s my life,

my rules,

and my pot belly,

and I love it.

WHOA! Nailed it, bro!

-What on earth are you saying? -Didn’t it work?

Huh?

Bro, he looks confused.

Go on, come to the point.

Ah.

I can tell from your face, sir, you’re stuck somewhere.

I’ve brought the fuel to get you moving, sir.

Hey, the boss of these guys seated here...

Even after catching them for days,

you couldn’t reach him.

No!

But I did.

Hey, shall I spill the beans?

Sir.

This isn’t the first time he’s done this.

He’s a professional kidnapper.

Just trust me and come with me, sir.

Anyway,

I’ll take you to the miraculous universe

of the most wanted person you’re searching for.

Shall we go?

Sir, I wanted to tell you something.

The first person he kidnapped

was Lalitambika.

People said the dark mole on her

had a hundred wings…

Lalitambika.

Ah.

He always shared a connection with the cows.

O sovereign of the boundless age

Even the moon bows at your feet

Your moves strike swift as arrows

How did he even get a gun for all these?

I can’t reveal that.

Why?

No questions in the story, sir.

Especially in bro’s story.

Godson kept bragging

and brought your father to our bro’s house.

Bro slowly started revealing

that behind this colourful fiesta

lies a not-so-colourful past.

He loved seeing his photos in the newspaper.

-Gimme -Here.

This file has all my findings on everything he’s done.

Overall, he’s seasoned in this field, sir.

Of course!

I’ve also studied the person on the other side, sir.

About whom?

About your father, sir.

This list comprises countless cases suppressed

in the past, present, and future.

If you weigh it carefully,

the whole narrative could flip.

Your father could hang by it, sir.

Give sir some water.

Not for me?

Your father took the next bait perfectly too.

He’s beginning to understand who C.K. Joseph really is.

HEY!

I took the oath as CM,

you didn’t let me sit in that chair even a single day.

Damn your dance!

You seemed bored, with not a single file to sign.

So I thought I’d entertain you

If you didn’t like it, forget it.

Hands off, sir!

Hey, I’m raging to kill you.

Let go, sir.

Let go of you, huh?

I said, let go of me!

So you got some blood in you, huh?

Ones who have nothing to lose,

and the ones who have much to gain,

they don't care about the consequences, sir.

There’s a hidden meaning in what you’re saying.

I understand that.

Whatever it is,

tell me straight to my face.

I sense a flashback coming on.

Grow up right in my heart, like the fresh light of dawn

Stay there in my sight always, so I can see you forever

Never get tired

Grow tall and reach the skies

Come closer to me, my dear son, fulfil my heart's deep sighs

Let me pour all my love over you, come near

Grow up right in my heart, like the fresh light of dawn

Stay there in my sight always, so I can see you forever

Hey!

What are you doing?

Get lost!

The hunter who lived atop the hill

heard a commotion in the jungle one day,

and he ventured down.

And then...

Eh? Did he sleep?

He slept.

That night, I slept holding my mom tight.

But my mom never woke up again.

Look at her, lying there. She’s so pretty!

Sudhakaran, don't just stand there. Serve water to the visitors.

The mother's death has driven the father to madness.

Everything was stable until now, thanks to that woman.

Wonder what will happen to this kid now.

My father kept me close to comfort me

through the loss of my mother.

Yet, nobody around my father stayed by his side.

They showed him no kindness,

not even a glance.

Dad, sugar candy for me...

-Brother, two sugar candies... -Come here! Come!

Clean up this trash.

-But I am going out with my son... -Do it before you leave. It stinks!

Though the smile may fade

Don't lose your way on the path, my son

The scavengers wanna go on a trip now!

My poor father endured all that humiliation just to take care of me.

Ugh! Just being near him makes me stink!

Stay there in my sight always, so I can see you forever

-Brother... One pack of lemon candy. -Lemon candy?

-It's my son's birthday. -His birthday!

Dad...

Will my photo also be in the paper like this?

Isn't today my birthday too?

They are big shots.

We are nobodies.

Here's your birthday present.

Go give it to your friends.

No, don't take candy from him.

He must've picked it from the trash!

Give one to me!

I didn't get it!

Why are you being sad?

You know I've got your back.

I will never leave you alone, my son.

My dad, who had promised to be by my side

left me forever, in the blink of an eye.

DAD!

Following my dad's passing,

I was left all alone.

All alone.

Do you know how many days I starved?

I even forgot my name somewhere along the line.

During that time, there was fierce conflict

over the demolition of our homes to build a bridge.

You must be aware of it, sir.

You people even desecrated my parents' graves for your own development.

Dear people...

CK Joseph, our beloved leader...

I was slowly losing my mind, enduring all of it.

Hey! Stop!

-Let go! -Listen to me!

You're quite stubborn, huh?

Pelting stones!

It was at Vavamani's house I first met Mahi.

I was amazed by the drawings he made, despite his blindness.

Can you please draw my picture?

We became friends.

I became one of them.

That was my world thereafter.

Brother... One tea.

No tea for you.

Settle the outstanding balance first!

Get out, you!

He's trying to pull his dad's tricks!

Get lost!

It was in front of that tea shop

that I met Sijo, who later became my friend.

Brother... Can you hit back the guy who hit me?

Two porottas and tea please.

Okay. Folks without money don't bother coming here!

Get me 100 rupees.

I'll do it for you.

That brawl changed my life forever.

The way he swaggered through the school after that, sir...

I've never seen anyone so unhinged in my life.

We lodged a complaint that day,

Joseph sir, who was our MLA back then intervened,

and put him away in the asylum.

I was examined by a doctor.

And he confirmed that I am mad.

He quoted some English name for my condition.

Well, the name didn't matter to me.

Madness is madness, after all!

And a madman is always a madman.

I played there and grew up.

Why did we dodge the imaginary ball?

That's how he is.

Look at his smile!

A visitor I don't know is here to see me?

-Are you the visitor? -But I'm here with you!

It must be the other soldier then!

Soldier?

Go there.

Somebody sent by somebody!

Who are you?

Brother...

He's not blind!

Do you recognize me?

You were imprisoned and tortured all this time

for picking a fight for me!

I went to Dubai with my uncle after that.

-And I-- -HEY!

What happened?

Where's the 100 rupees you owe me?

20 years later...

I am here to give you that.

Even my fingers are getting emotional!

I kept it safe that day.

Didn't even open it till date.

Look at those expressions, all for 100 rupees?

Are you happy now?

Which universe is this?

Brother!

Push gently, man!

Why did they bring you here?

When my friend and I were standing in a crowd,

he got killed.

And the police caught me.

They know it's too risky to imprison me in any Indian prison.

That's why I was brought to this prison in America.

YES!

I was wondering where I am.

America!

What's your friend's name?

-Mohan. -Mohan...

-Mohandas. -Mohandas...?

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi?

My happy birthday is on the same day as your friend's birthday!

Happy birthday to you!

To you, too!

Shall we cut the cake?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

Our birthday party was nice, wasn't it?

They got quite close.

He had asked us several times to release him.

Tell him.

The thing is...

he had told me some historical principles.

When did that happen?

I fell for it.

What was that principle?

His dreams and hopes should never be caged by four walls!

Freedom!

That 100 rupees was my first remuneration. I bribed the guards with it

and broke free from the asylum.

The driver of that next-level truck dropped me off

in a universe that was on another level.

That universe was the dominion of

one lone King.

Nobody who trespasses Oscar's territory

has managed to escape alive.

That area, this area, that place, this place...

South, north...

I am all by myself in every area.

Your Oscar is no match for me.

Watch who you're speaking to, my boy!

Ghilli Bala...

He was the Dawood of that town.

The rough and tough.

He smiles like a lighthouse

He hits like a powerhouse

His swag attracts the full house

He smiles like a lighthouse

He hits like a powerhouse

His swag attracts the full house

He smiles like a lighthouse

He hits like a powerhouse

His swag attracts the full house

He smiles like a lighthouse

He hits like a powerhouse

His swag attracts the full house

Those who meddled in your private lives...

I took them aside and advised them.

They won't trouble you anymore.

If at all they trouble you again,

I will take them in and advise them again.

Come here, my boy.

What's your name?

Kishore Haraharan.

When this photo you clicked hits the press tomorrow,

'Ghilli Bala hit the bullseye'

must be the headline.

Listen carefully.

Not 'Dilli Wala', but 'Ghilli Bala'.

Okay, Haraharan?

Click one more pic.

He walks into the frame, and the world turns brighter

A calm storm of talent, a soul born to conquer

Every role he touches becomes a timeless chapter

That’s why they call him...

What's going on here?

Master!

Why so much hype?

Just have a break, man!

What to do, master?

They hype it up whether I walk, sit, or even sneeze!

And then, of course, unfolds the most worn-out cliché in cinema.

Interesting, isn't it?

Jayan!

He was about to stab you from behind!

Come on!

Even though I was completely lost in the moment,

I was sure my life was moving to the next league.

Brother...

Brother... You are also Ghilli from now on.

By saving the boss,

I earned my place in their hearts.

After my parents were gone,

he was the only one who ever held me close.

Everything seems so cinematic here!

That's why our brother took you in the moment he saw you fight.

Cinema is the very essence of his soul.

The vehicles you've seen in many hit films

were provided by our brother.

Many of them are right here in this garage.

He smiles like a lighthouse

He hits like a powerhouse

His swag attracts the full house

What are you looking at? Come on in.

This is CID Moosa's car.

You know, right?

This is 'Sundari'.

I had given this to 'L'.

This is Ichakka's 'Rajamanikyam' car.

Who's 'Ichakka'?

'Ichakka' is the name only he uses for Mammootty.

Jayan!

This is the car from 'Paiyaa'.

[Singing a song from 'Paiyaa']

And, this one!

Back when I was in Madurai,

a Tamil film shoot was going on there.

They spotted the car, loved it, and asked if I could give it to them for the shoot.

I instantly refused.

Someone visited him that night.

Who?

Jayan, no!

I mean, he got a call.

I picked up, and it was Vijay on the line.

Which Vijay?

The one and only 'Thalapathy'!

His composed manner

and gentle voice

instantly won me over.

Wow!

I gave him the car.

He took it and stole the show.

The film was a blockbuster.

Vijay's stardom exploded.

Since then, we, brother's fans,

became Vijay's fans too!

We are just...

Brother...

Shall I?

Brother...

Welcome to Ghilli University.

What's all this?

Is 'Ghilli Bala'

his real name?

He goes by various names in each state.

Here, he is 'Ghilli Bala'.

In Bengal, he is 'Bala Dada'.

'Balaji' in Mumbai.

'Balayya' in Telugu states.

'Balanna' in Karnataka.

And, he's a bit soft in our state.

Balettan.

-How's it? -Balettan...

Ghilli Balettan.

Hey! Come! Come!

This is my Master!

He stands by my side, with full support, through every problem.

Right, Master?

Wearing that dhoti has completely transformed you!

Do one thing.

Tuck your dhoti up.

Oh-no...

Tucking the dhoti up...

I'm not so good at that.

You've come to the right place then!

-Show him once. -Oh-no! Stop it!

If our brother folds his dhoti up, it's like a thousand lighthouses--

-Jayan, no! -You won't let me praise you!

Do it!

Show him some love!

Let them see it!

Curl up your moustache, Bala!

Will this do?

A son to some

A friend to a few

A lone elephant unchained

The brother we claim

A son to some

Where's this hype skyrocketing?

What's this, my boy?

Where's this hype skyrocketing?

The frenzy smashes right through the roof

This dance owns the streets

This song blasts on loop

This jungle bows where our lion reigns supreme

We roar this anthem with a terrific kick

Not tens, not hundreds, Millions worship this star

Just step into the frame

South and North tremble

Even the dust from his feet flies away in slow motion

Come on!

Hysteria, hysteria

Hysteria of this epic takeover

-This is my friend. -Hello, brother.

He's a Tamilian. A police officer.

An officer with a beard?

His lover ditched him.

He's a huge fan of yours.

Fans for me in Tamil Nadu?

Brother...

You have ardent fans there as well,

for your walk, smile, dance, and every mannerism!

He's an awesome dancer.

Appointed!

Let the story take a turn

Let the arena ignite

I'll stand by your side

I am your closest ally

Celebrations explode across every shore

The public is ours to the core

Victory is always ours

We will build an empire that sparks envy

He's the hero generations hail

Come on, don't stop!

Hey, hero! Hey, champion! Get on the floor and dance, come on!

Come on!

Come on, champion!

Where's this hype skyrocketing?

Us, brothers rule this town

We roar this anthem with a terrific kick

Not tens, not hundreds, Millions await to see this combo

Hysteria, hysteria

A son to some

A friend to a few

A lone elephant unchained

The brother we claim

A son to some

A friend to a few

A lone elephant unchained

The brother we claim

My dear Master!

Our bro treated him like his own brother.

The crazy stuff those two pulled off together…

Those were wild, wild days, sir.

The brothers duo seized the illegal weapons and gold

held by the Oscar Brothers gang.

we sold all that and made loads of money.

That’s how Ghilli Brothers became an unbreakable empire.

My pockets were stuffed with cash.

And you know that rush it gives you, sir…

A real booster kick!

Just when life was painting itself in all colours for us…

What happened, master?

Travelling from place to place,

wishing to be a hero everywhere I went,

this Ghilli Bala, me…

believes my heroism has peaked right here!

No point staying around anymore.

Handing my company over to your care…

I’m leaving.

And that makes six factories

I’ve entrusted to my loyal friends here!

But don’t any of you cry because I’m leaving.

I can’t bear it.

Everywhere I go, I live to win hearts

and be a hero,

that’s what I, Ghilli Bala, live for.

Won’t you all…

fully back my pan-India dream?

Bro…

Yes, we will.

Yes, we will!

[Crying] You went pan-India, bro!

Bro, why leave us behind and go pan-India?!

Even in the mental hospital where I was admitted,

I never saw lunatics like them.

Is this what they call the madness of love?

Ah!

Blood!

Why are you crying?

Look at him bawling like a baby!

For what?

Sir,

our bro left us.

We are his fan boys.

-We’ll cry if he leaves us. -That's normal, sir.

Here comes a mass entry.

Move… make way.

Please move.

-It’s pathetic, sir. -Pathetic!

Are you making a movie out of their bull stories, sir?

You need to get on the ground and play, sir.

Because of lazy investigations like this,

so many cases go nowhere.

Damn!

Media folks are all over outside.

If I step out and give an interview…

Sir, don’t you know the impact of my interviews?

HEY, YOU!

Ever since I saw your interview, I’ve been holding this in.

You’ll give interviews against my dad and me, huh?

-Yes, I will. -Will you?

-Yes, I will. -Will you?

Sir, please don’t hit him anymore.

-He’ll just give another interview. -Kick him out.

Sir, no… this will create trouble.

Youth will flare, media will storm in,

everything will spiral out of hand.

Damn his interview! Interview psycho! Get lost, you!

You think you’re some big shot…

You’re nothing! -Who the hell are you?

-Good-for-nothing! -Who are you?

You can’t silence the common man!

No way.

Come on, give him my card.

Go on, bring it.

Pick them up.

Drop your macho act and grab them.

You’ll need them later.

Pluck his tongue out!

Take him out of here.

He’s trashing people in interviews.

Call Cyber Cell!

Tell them his interview must not show up on any online channel.

Interview, my foot!

Oh no… poor fellow.

And then one day,

my friends came looking for me

at my cement factory.

It was from them that

I learned about the fierce protest happening in the village.

I realised that...

my enemy was the enemy of an entire village.

“Land Reclaim Protest Against C.K. Joseph”

[Sloganeering] C.K. Joseph… you scoundrel… we’ll deal with you soon!

After ages, when I returned to my town,

I saw people who’d lost everything, burning with rage and grief.

Everyone together was shouting against one man.

The same man…

whose smiling photo I wanted to burn…

they too had set it on fire.

They’ve blocked the highway construction

right at the gates of those B-grade movie theatres.

Who dares to evacuate the theatres now?

All their black money is stashed there, right?

In Kalpana Theatre?

My daughter went there to file a complaint, and he…

I'll kill him!

All our protests, hunger strikes… won’t do a thing.

When we pay him back,

it must shake him to the bone.

We must look him in the eye and ask…

Why did you ruin all our lives?

Big talk is easy for anyone…

But do we have men with the guts to actually pull it off?

Listen,

This entire village is looking up to you.

It's time to rise as a hero.

No matter how much we burned him,

he just keeps smirking at me again and again.

I don’t like that smirk.

It has to stop.

That was the moment I’d been waiting for.

My comeback moment!

Every pair of eyes there, young or old, turned to me.

A kind of rush that money could never give me…

I felt a stronger kick there.

A terrific kick!

Fear…

Devotion…

And deep respect…

Fear… Devotion… And Deep respect…

Fear… Devotion… And Deep respect…

Fear… Devotion… And Deep respect…

Bloody dog! So this is why

you dragged me here!

Do you even know what you’ve done?

Are you out of your mind, lunatic?

Damn that smirk!

Oh, dear sir!

Right under your countless supporters--

Countless supporters, my bloody ass!

Don’t you dare speak!

Look at me, I’ll keep smiling.

Will you kill me?

Then kill me! Go ahead.

I’m not in the mood, sir.

Argh!!!

Superb place, huh?

Not bad, that’s all.

But, sir, who is this psychologist?

Who could that be?

Look, mister… hmm…

No--

No… no… no… no…

Noble!

Yeah, Noble.

He’s someone…

who’s been locked in mental hospitals for years.

People say all kinds of things about him.

How can a lunatic pull off so much with such precision?

I’m confused.

Don’t call him a lunatic.

It’s a personality disorder.

Okay?

Cluster B personality disorder.

Their thoughts will always be wandering.

And then, the way they treat their emotions…

We can never predict it.

To understand them…

We have to slip into their shoes.

Yeah?

Things we find silly may have cut them deep,

And their reaction to those who caused it might shock us.

For him to change, someone has to embrace him with love.

Otherwise… he’s damn dangerous.

UNN Breaking News:

The kidnapper’s latest message, exclusively on UNN.

In 24 hours,

I’ll be known as this state’s top kidnapper.

If you want to catch me, catch me before that deadline.

The law will run its course.

Come on, do what you preach, sir.

We can’t deny this part of the story,

overconfidence will betray any hero.

Sir, look at this notice.

Looks freshly printed.

The ink is still wet.

I need a list of all printing presses around here.

I want to know who’s secretly running this.

Damn his notice! Come and face me, you!

Your father, already trained in all academies,

read through all bro’s plots in that very moment.

He started thinking like our bro.

Unless I give you a solid one

I won’t be able to face my team.

Hit him!

Tell me your entire plan…

or die.

Hey, Mister Madhu Balachandran…

Madhu, bloody prick!

I spotted you right when I saw your overacting.

I’m media, mind it.

Media, huh?!

Check!

-Hey Vavamani, don’t run. -Let go of me.

There’s police all around.

Looks like it’s loaded here!

Variety tools!

Shall we go, then?

Sir, I want to pee, can't hold anymore!

Searched through the enveloping darkness

The battle ignited in full fury

Searched through the enveloping darkness

The battle ignited in full fury

The warrior rose to his feet

He rose without a trace of fear

The warrior hungering for a new dawn

He has a companion ever at his side

This master who makes the sound his sight

He stands guard through every trial

Lifelong by my side

Come on, get in the car, quick!

-Come, come. -Get in.

Quick!

-Oh no, Mahi isn’t here. -Stop! Stop!

MAHI…!

Searched through the enveloping darkness

The battle ignited in full fury

Hey...

Mahi!

Mahi... Mahi...

He rose without a trace of fear

The warrior hungering for a new dawn

He has a companion ever at his side

Ashkar…

you guys are safe, right?

Shall I say “yes”?

Your Mahi is dead!

I…

killed him!

HEY, YOU!

Dear, here’s your ultimatum, two hours!

Run as far as you can.

Play every game you can.

But no matter how far you run

or what games you play,

I’ll get you trapped.

Got it, common man?

The law will run its course.

Don’t you get it now?

Searching throughout the enveloping darkness

Sir…

Sir, release him!

Sir, release him!

Why fight so hard for him? Who is he to you?

He’s my friend, sir.

The only soul who knew my aching heart,

The one who glimpsed the scars upon my hands,

I’ll fight for him through endless time,

For the rest of my life

Through the enveloping darkness, I search for you

Sir, where to now? Left or right?

Don't you have GPS?

-Sir, this is an unidentified border. -What the hell!

Left side is dangerous.

Right side is dense forest.

Locals would know the right route.

Yes, sir.

Niya Chethan…

Huh?! NEA bro.

Hey bro, that NEA guy is calling.

Say it loud, man!

Bro’s got a call from the National Agency!

They probably need Bro’s help!

Mr Godson Ancharakandy?

What’s up, bro?

Finally, do you need me?

Tracking him,

I’ve now reached the east entry of Sahinidra Forest.

I have two paths ahead.

If I go left, I can reach the other side of the forest via off-road.

If I go right, it’s just dense forest.

I’m not asking you which path I should take.

If you know which route he might choose…

tell me.

Sir…

Sir, I’m not his assistant,

so I can’t predict his route. You must understand that.

Then, since you asked…

He’s likely to go right.

A path where no one can tell where he’ll end up.

That rogue told me to go right.

Who the hell is he? I won’t give him the correct path!

He’s a fraud, sly as a fox.

Acts like he’s a 'virtue pro max',

and calls us frauds!

Let him go right, prick!

Then we’ll go left.

I can't run.

Come on, walk!

Why are the cops here?

Not for me, for sure.

Are they here for you then?

Who's your dad actually?

He’s the father of our state, man.

What do you mean?

Chief Minister, man!

-CM?! -YES!

Scram, you!

What's this, sir?

Why trouble the common man?

If you continuously oppress them, won't they retaliate?

How can we blame them for that?

What's this, sir?

Why drag this out? Why not just kill him?

Oh-no! He's the CM! We need him!

Who's this new specimen?

You must be the first man in this state

to look at him and ask that question!

-Shall I finish him off? -No!

If you are asking my name,

it's Ghilli Bala.

Listen carefully. It's not 'Dilli Wala',

it's Ghilli Bala.

If you wanna know why I am here,

that's a long story we don't have time for.

Naughty!

That's the whole pack coming for me,

shaking the very heart of the jungle!

Let them come!

Let them come!

-You carry on. -Aren't you coming?

No.

They burned down my Gypsy...

now I'll show them what wildfire is.

Have they still not learned how to aim?

Hold this!

Throw it there!

It will blast now!

All okay?

I won't let you!

THIS IS MY COMEBACK!

Do you have any idea what the hell you're doing?

That is sheer madness!

You're the sole reason for all of this.

-Me? -Yes!

It was you who drove me to madness!

Do you know?

Do you know why I put you through all these chaos?

Don't you wanna know the whole backstory between us?

The day darkness consumed my life...

You visited my home that day.

I heard you standing there and talking about my mom.

She was an absolute stunner!

I have longed for her for ages.

Well, she's still delectable!

You were talking about my mom!

The smirk on your face after that...

It hit me deep in my soul.

Some days later,

when you won the elections,

and celebrated it by blocking the road,

I was there with my dad fighting for his life.

Sir...!

I pleaded with every person there

to let us through.

Sir, my dad...

Sir...

I clung to your feet, pleading for help.

But you pushed me away.

Basking in the loud adoration of your followers,

you smirked again.

The very smirk that irked me.

Had you shown a shred of humanity,

my dad would've survived longer.

The smirk that comes from your disdain for the common people,

that drove me into madness.

DAD!

Your downfall.

That's what I'm aiming for.

Vehicle approaching.

Squad alert.

This is as far as you take me.

You will be done for.

You will be finished.

It's not me who will be finished.

It's you.

I'll finish off your son!

Please listen to me...

HEY, YOU!

Didn't I warn you that

you know nothing about the new generation?

Take him away!

Is this the ending

for which you crafted such a lengthy build-up?

My dad caught him now, can't you see?

My dad won, after all!

Your success or failure is determined by

the scores someone else assigns on a sheet of paper.

But the victory for the oppressed ones like us

is born from within our souls.

Look at it from that angle now.

Whatever I couldn't achieve,

you should achieve them.

The whole public should

cheer for you.

Come to us, sir!

Come on, thrash him!

You should shine bright

in everybody's eyes.

I did it!

No matter how big the opponent is,

he should embrace you.

Every blow I receive brings me a strange comfort.

Each blow makes me aware of

how deeply my actions have affected them.

I will receive each blow

as the kisses my parents couldn't give me.

Didn't I warn you that

you know nothing about the new generation?

You know how many such generations I have encountered, sir?!

Take him away!

A multi-crore land mafia deal involving

CK Joseph was just found at Kalpana Talkies.

The public is in revolt,

demanding the money be restored to the people of Kannadipadam.

It's time to unmask the politicians

who stole the people's money and hoarded it as black wealth.

But I still don't understand something.

Dad... Dad...

Who's that?

When I smile in delight at that realization,

the smile will fade from his face.

That's my ultimate kick!

Joseph's run is over.

Mission completed!

Will my photo also be in the paper like this?

Isn't today my birthday too?

Advocate Mukundan Unni appeared in court several times

for brother and team.

When CK Joseph angrily asked him

how a madman can pull off all this,

the advocate retorted.

The common man knows no limits, sir.

It's people like you who drive them to madness.

What is the opposition's take on the CM stepping down, sir?

I see the scope for a return.

Shall I tell you the rest of his story?

Bug off, you!

Don't leave yet!

The story doesn't end here.

Mom...

When my mother and father died,

there was a smirk I witnessed.

The smirk that drove me to madness.

That was your father's smirk.

I wiped off that smirk.

In my childhood,

there was another smirk that haunted me.

I heard that same cruel smirk

when you told me you killed my Mahi.

That smirk was yours.

I will return

to wipe it off.

I'M COMING!

-Hello, boss. -Hey...

You got only two minutes.

I want to hear the bullet hit Radarr by then.

Okay?

Double okay, boss.

Put the phone on loudspeaker.

Okay.

Radarr is not here.

-Wiener! -Boss, I'm Williams.

Wiener Williams!

Search every inch. He'll be there.

Hey! I'm getting tense here, and you're whistling?

Come here, I'll shoot you!

What's that noise there?

What's going on, Williams?

Say something, man!

Radarr is right here!

He's with Ghilli Bala!

Very good!

So you found them both?

-Yeah. But there's a small problem. -What happened?

There are lots of cheer-girls around them.

Hey...

Did you go to a mental hospital or a pub?

Are you drunk?

No, boss!

Okay.

Finish off Radarr first.

But don't touch Ghilli Bala.

I got a question for him.

Hey, I asked you to kill only one guy!

What the hell happened there?

Answer me! Is he dead?

Why the rush?

We are still alive!

It's our guy who's dead.

Rest in peace.

Relax! Right, brother?

Hey, Radarr!

You've made me so furious!

What are you doing there, Williams? Finish him off!

Hey, calm down.

Why are you running your mouth?

Relax a bit.

Hey! Lower your gun!

Ghilli Bala! Ghilli Bala! Ghilli Bala!

You are the one I've been looking for.

I got a question for you.

I checked each and every gangster list.

You guys are not in any of them.

Who are you guys?

Why did you get in my way?

Why did you snatch all my weapons,

attack the Black Force,

and make me the hot topic of the entire national news?

Why is there so much enmity between us?

Tell me, Bala! Tell me, Bala!

At least let me know it, Bala!

Still silence...

You don't know what you've done, Bala.

The Oscar Brothers are coming for you now.

Okay!

[Humming a song]

You enjoy rain and lightning, don't you?

Of course!

Of course!

Get yourself a cup of 'Sulaimani' tea,

sip it slowly, step outside,

and enjoy this season to the fullest.

Because,

this is the last season you will ever see.

Hey! Hey, Oscar!

Yeah?

Your punch dialogue sounds good.

But remember who you're talking to.

You better do this.

Tell me.

Please step out from wherever you are.

From every corner, you will hear only one line.

And what's that?

That we have hijacked this season.

Until we meet again, adios!

Welcome!

Come on!

Hysteria, hysteria

Hysteria of this epic takeover

Let the story take a turn
