How many of you know Mr. Sundar Ramaswamy?

What do you know about him?

GL has appointed him as the CEO to destroy their competitors.

Well... he is not a nice man.

Every information that you've heard about him is true.

He weakens the power of every competitor...

and leaves the country once it is destroyed.

When he visits a country, the companies shake with fear.

Now, he's coming to India.

I'm sure you know the purpose of this meeting.

He might visit our company.

Our company is his next target...

let's think of how we can stop him.

Read the latest news article and get more information.

Find out what's on the agenda.

He was here five years ago

for his elder brother's marriage.

Now, his brother and sister-in-law have filed for divorce.

But this girl was attracted to Sundar.

What is it?

He is a monster.

They nicknamed him, "Genghis Khan", right?

But, he's cool.

Do you want an ally, To get me out in play?

I am a missile! Don't mess with me!

Do you want an ally, To get me out in play?

I am a missile! Don't mess with me!

A demonic acclaim does arise!

Rocked is the stage When the name is uttered!

Beyond the bounds of time, It would spread on and chime!

Do you want an ally, To get me out in play?

I am a missile! Don't mess with me!

Whatever I touch turns to gold!

I'm a freakout!

You'll be knocked out! Tread carefully!

I have my own share of the moon, too!

A little town is there, just for me. Shall we go?

A stunning rain of dollars Reaches up to my collar, every day!

Be it the sky, the land, Or the yellow sun

They all change colors Based on my every command!

Do you want an ally, To get me out in play?

I am a missile! Don't mess with me!

Do you want an ally, To get me out in play?

I am a missile! Don't mess with me!

Like oxygen that fills the air, All must breathe your name!

Even Google must search for you And be in awe

If there are troubles, We will bear it!

If there is success, We will share it!

If fear comes near, We will make it scream!

We will hit the bull's eye, Every, every time!

Do you want an ally, To get me out in play?

I am a missile! Don't mess with me!

Do you want an ally, To get me out in play?

I am a missile! Don't mess with me!

Just a minute, sir!

Sir, I have a question.

Do you know several corporates are intimidated with your arrival?

All of them are guessing which company you are planning to acquire.

They even claim that...

your purpose is to buy them out and shut them down!

Which company are you about to acquire?

-Please tell us! -Yes, sir.

Tell us.

I'm not here to acquire any company

nor am I here to destroy any company.

What day is it today?

The Election Day for Tamil Nadu's Legislative Assembly.

-Have all of you voted? -Yes, sir!

I have come to cast my vote.

What?

First, I'll be voting at the school in Triplicane.

Then, I'll be having dinner with my family.

After that, I will leave tonight.

He has come this far on a private plane

just to cast his vote.

He is unbelievable.

GOVERNMENT HIGH SCHOOL, TRIPLICANE LEGISLATIVE CONSTITUENCY, CHENNAI-600 005.

Greetings!

-Keep a watch on my post, Mr. Marimuthu. -Okay.

I work at the Quality Assurance division in Infoware.

Mr. Narayanan has told me a lot about you.

Nila?

How are you?

I read that you were coming to India.

I just got to know that you are here to vote.

Your father's participating, right?

Yes. He is a member of the Legislative Assembly for the second time.

If he wins this time, he'll be a minister.

How's your sister-in-law?

I saw your brother at the court.

I greeted him. He just walked away.

Can we take a selfie with you?

-Two minutes, dear. -Alright, sir.

Can we take a selfie together?

My Instagram is going to be swamped with likes!

Facebook has listed your relationship status as ''single."

That's true.

What about that girl who was with you?

Yes. Just one girl, right?

Hence, I'm "single."

If there is a woman by my side...

I am energized.

The symbol of my father's political party is an axe.

An axe.

-Greetings, sir. -Greetings.

What happened, sir?

His vote has been illegally cast by someone else!

What? Someone else has cast Sundar's vote!

Mr. Sundar Ramaswamy's vote has been cast by someone else.

This is an insulting turn of events!

How many votes have been cast like this?

We are at the election polling wing of the region.

This happened in 1991...

the vote of Mr. Sivaji Ganesan was cast by someone else.

Since then, thousands of votes have been cast illegally!

What's wrong with you! This is all over the news!

Let it be. What's done is done!

What will we do now?

The polling time is up.

He'll leave for America in 10 minutes!

Sir, this is a small mistake.

Please don't escalate it.

Is this a small mistake?

I traveled 13,000 kilometers to cast this vote!

-Yes, Dad? -What's going on, dear?

All the TV channels are buzzing!

Someone else has cast Sundar's vote!

Is he going to escalate this issue?

I don't know, Dad. He seems to be upset.

The polling time is up.

Talk to him. Bid adieu to him and send him to America!

Alright, Dad.

The phone is ringing and that's enough.

Where to, sir? Your house is on the left and the airport is on the right.

And, if you go straight?

Let's head there.

I've shared the location with your team.

A few papers need to be signed.

I'll come and meet you.

Mr. Jeth Malani...

Stall the voting for that region.

Once I cast my vote, start counting the votes.

He won't let go.

Sundar Ramaswamy's vote was cast by someone else.

Legal experts have been consulted for their opinion.

The verdict hinges on the court.

You must have studied in school...

about the solutions for problem finding, spot decisions and considerations.

Now, witness a CEO who deals with this situation.

Not just asset information!

But I need the money in the containers

and the payoff of each person.

If this would reach someone else, we would be finished!

If this keeps up, we can't do our business.

If this had shown up, none of you would be alive!

Let's look at that.

Do you think you're James Bond?

Filthy dog!

Muthukumar from "saattai.com!"

Sir!

Are you fond of clicking pictures?

Go click pictures of your sister!

Sir!

Sir...

Will they be comfortable with me?

Of course. Why not?

She's come with him.

They must be asleep.

They are watching us.

She's smart!

Uncle is here!

Hey, kids!

How's the trip?

Hi, dear!

-Come, dear. -Come along, Nila.

What's this? You just got here and you're filing lawsuits already!

What else, Mom?

I came all the way from America and someone else cast my vote!

-Hey, kids! Got my gifts? -Yes. They were awesome, uncle!

Have a seat, Nila. Tell her to sit down.

Who wins without cheating nowadays?

All of them have weird symbols.

People choose a random symbol.

Gone are the days when no one cheated.

Nowadays, they pay for votes!

Lots and lots of money!

No one is fair.

How can you generalize this?

My father is a good man.

He asks for a small amount of money.

Sometimes, I've seen him just take the change!

-Terrific family! -Sorry, dear.

We are joking.

Come on. Let's have dinner.

Feed the kids, Mom!

Hey, kiddo! How are you?

How's your sister?

She's very happy.

AIMMK party members are beyond ecstatic!

They are leading in all the 234 constituencies!

Ex-Chief Minister Masilamani will be sworn in for the third time!

You're back!

I thought I could be of some help to you.

I'm sure you're here for a reason.

It's your dad's constituency, right? No wonder, you're here.

Yes. You're right.

They've started counting votes.

My father is in the lead with 30,000 votes!

Is that so?

We got to know about it yesterday.

But we didn't expect that you'd come to court.

You've asked for a stay order on the counting of votes.

But the counting has already started.

Mr. Venkatesan has a lead of 30,000 votes.

Do not announce the result for that region.

Once I give my vote...

you can officially declare it.

The law states that every citizen must provide their voter ID.

But, he's a non-resident Indian.

Besides the voter ID, a non-resident Indian must also provide the passport.

Without these documents, we cannot permit the casting of an illegal vote.

To that end, the Election Commission has suspended twelve employees!

The law is not just to punish thieves

but also, to return what has been stolen.

If the right to vote is democracy's most valuable possession...

when that right is stolen, isn't it fair to return it?

But, what kind of change will your vote bring about?

Sir...

Every vote is important, sir!

When it came to a choice of either English or German

as America's official language...

English won by just one vote!

Democracy won over military rule in France by just one vote!

Hitler became the leader of the Nazi Party

with a lead of just one vote!

Washington became a part of America with just one vote!

Even the Vajpayee reign was toppled by just one vote.

You're right.

Hence, we are bringing about an awareness on voting before the elections.

My voter ID was not inspected.

My original passport must have been inspected.

Everyone knows about 49-O, but I'm talking about 49-P.

As per Section 49-P,

if one's vote has been illegally cast by another...

they must be given a ''ballot vote''...

and be permitted to cast their vote!

There is a law like this.

You can look up for Section 49-P on Google in your cell phones.

But nobody knows that Section 49-P exists.

Neither did I, Your Honor. Until last night...

Ten years ago, the people weren't aware of 49-O.

But now everyone knows, right?

NOTA.

In the same way, they must learn about 49-P!

Rather than just telling them that such a law exists...

if you pass this sensational verdict...

within a day, all of India will know.

But he already has a lead of 30,000 votes.

One vote will not bring about any change in this constituency.

But, this verdict will emphasize the importance of every vote!

Not just for the courts in the future...

but it will be there in the syllabus for law students.

This case will be a question in the examination.

And, your name will be the answer.

It is the responsibility of this court, to ensure that the citizens are aware...

of the fundamental rights that they are entitled to exercise.

By means of this verdict...

this awareness will be raised.

Even amid the buzz of vote counting of the recently concluded election...

Mr. Sundar's case is discussed by the media.

Through it, everyone will be aware of Section 49-P.

Even if his vote was illegally cast by someone else...

under Section 49-P, a ballot vote should have been provided to him.

Having failed to do so, was a mistake.

To rectify this mistake...

I hereby declare that your vote must be given to you

in the same voting booth at the same school.

Once your vote has been cast...

the election result of that region will be legally declared.

As the next few days are working days for the school...

this will happen on the coming Saturday...

in the same polling station.

This court and the Election Commission hereby declare...

that you will be permitted to cast your vote on that day.

Party members of the AIMMK continue to celebrate

their present lead in the election.

But, our American bro Sundar is permitted.

We've won, right?

I didn't sleep all night! I'm so hungry right now!

I am invited for a lunch party with the chairman of Infoware.

What do you think about casting your vote?

Sir, you're being talked about all over the radio!

He's a leading advocate, isn't he?

Yes, indeed.

He charges his fee on an hourly basis.

Like a rental cycle.

Factoring in court time and flight fare, he has asked us for a huge sum of money.

A huge sum of money for one vote!

Look at that office, sir.

Last month, on the 12th...

a father, mother and two children immolated themselves.

They couldn't pay back 25,000 rupees to a loan shark.

I was there.

The children didn't move an inch.

They were just looking at their father.

Somebody save them!

Can somebody help!

Just 25,000 rupees, sir!

Did any of them survive?

One of the children survived.

The burned body was taken to the hospital.

Did the government take any action?

Yes, they did. The next day...

they had a fire engine stationed outside.

What will a loan shark do with a fire engine?

Only those who wish that no one dies will want to solve the problem.

If they do not want them to die in this spot...

a fire engine will be the solution.

What did the public do?

They captured a video and shared it on WhatsApp.

On WhatsApp?

They sent messages to others about this on WhatsApp.

And those people?

They shared it with more people. And, those people sent it to more people.

So, what will happen next?

Another problem will arise and we'll keep sharing that as well.

Problems don't have a solution. They have more problems.

Wait for me at the chairman's house, Nila.

Tell them I'll be there in 30 minutes.

Go ahead.

Where are you going?

I don't know him!

Sundar!

Chengalpattu, Arakonam, Tiruthani, Thiruvalvamalai...

and many places in Tamil Nadu...

I want to thank the city's top celebrities...

for accepting my invite.

The election vote counting is in progress.

The party of Mr. Malarvannan,

the AIMMK is leading in every constituency.

Mr. Sundar Ramaswamy is also here today!

He went to the court to reclaim his vote!

I'm sorry to intrude.

But I am very happy today.

He told me the reason.

What is the one thing that unites us all?

What do we have in common?

Money.

He's an educationalist. He owns six universities, doesn't he?

Would he admit one student free of cost?

Why did this man study law?

To identify a loophole and save his client!

And this auditor?

To reduce the tax revenue of the government!

Here...

Why did this young man go to America?

For a salary of 1800 crores. He pretty much ran away there!

But, politicians...

How do you expect us to serve you after we spend so much?

After buying votes for 10,000 rupees each...

why must we provide free service?

We put in 10,000 rupees and reclaim 20,000 rupees.

That's our talent, right?

You said that money is what we have in common.

No. That's not the right answer.

What we have in common, is people.

Viewers for a TV channel.

Customers for businessmen. Voters for political leaders.

Passengers for airplanes. Readers for the newspapers.

But the common word used to describe them, is "people."

The alms that they toss at us...

is what makes us businessmen, political leaders, CEOs and so on.

That's what I said using different terms.

We take money from the public

while you take it from your customers.

Even then, the common factor is money, right?

The TV highlights the face of my leader...

who won four crore votes across 234 constituencies.

They also highlight this young man whose vote was stolen.

Will this not affect us?

Did he go to court to save the nation?

Every time his name is mentioned on TV, they emphasize that he is the CEO of GL.

Isn't that a talent, as well?

But, this young man does not know of our talent.

You're heading over to cast your vote this Saturday, right?

I can make sure that this vote is also illegally cast by someone else.

You can challenge me to do it.

I can make sure that you don't get that vote, as well.

It's time. I need to go to the leader's house.

My dear boy...

Please ensure to cast a vote for our party on Saturday.

I'll take your leave. Come along, man!

I’m a top guy! Dapper as hell! I’m a daredevil, I have lit the fuse

Shut them down, make them retreat. Risk taking is our radar

He sent us away. Where is he?

Here's an update...

Mr. Masilamani, the AIMMK leader, has a lead of 25,000 votes

over his competitor, Mr. Chinnaswamy.

Amid all this, developments in the case of Mr. Sundar Ramaswamy

is being covered by the press and the politicians.

Alright.

Your daughter is calling from Canada.

You're on the news in every Tamil channel here!

Sorry, I couldn't come over.

What did my son-in-law say?

What about him? He's very happy.

Don't eat any sweets!

Okay, dear!

-Did you take your tablets? -Yes, I did.

-Tylenol? -Yes, I took that one.

I took all of them, dear.

How many milligrams, Dad?

Two and a half milligrams, dear.

I don't want any sweets, dear.

Just speak to your mother...

and get me permission for two large rounds of liquor!

Okay, but just for today.

But, no whiskey. Try brandy, Dad.

Okay, dear.

Pass the phone to Uncle Malarvannan, Dad.

Can anyone defeat us in Tamil Nadu? It's impossible, isn't it?

The leader's daughter wants to talk to you.

Give me the phone!

Hello, my dear! How are you?

Hello, uncle! I'm fine!

A clean sweep of the election, right?

At a higher percentage, dear!

One more important thing, uncle.

I didn't want to tell Dad. So, I'm telling you.

Tell me, dear.

Are you alone right now?

Yes, dear.

I saw it on the news that in the Triplicane constituency...

Sundar, the CEO of GL, is going to cast his vote.

Yes, that is true.

He's a nutcase!

They've halted the vote counting at Venkatesh's constituency because of him.

That's the reason I'm talking to you.

He is not an ordinary man.

He's extremely intelligent and crafty.

Who gives a damn about him!

His tricks won't work!

No. You don't know him.

Last year, he came to Canada.

He stayed here for three weeks.

In the third week...

he was the centerpiece of the entire media.

He shut down a prominent IT company.

Good grief!

He laid off 22,000 employees!

10,000 of them left the country!

We can feel the impact even today!

Don't mess with him.

But we've won in every constituency. Haven't we, dear?

He has one vote with him!

Just listen to me.

Three governments have barred him from coming to their countries.

Do not cross paths with him in any way.

Alright, dear.

Did you say anything to him?

No! I haven't said anything to him!

Thank goodness!

Steer clear of him until he leaves India.

Goodbye, dear.

Damn!

I think I must have blabbered something after drinking this morning!

But, did I not leave when he was smiling and smoking joyfully?

Could there be a reason behind his smile?

The CEO of GL hails from our native land. It's a pride for us, sir.

The word is out that you bought your vote for a price.

I'm not ashamed to buy a vote that belongs to me.

The nation must be ashamed.

I only paid my lawyer, not the judge.

It's only one vote. What--

Will I accomplish? Right?

Yes, sir.

Did you see that? He's a reporter!

He asks me what I will accomplish with just one vote.

Someone else claims to be Sundar Ramaswamy and casts my vote.

The government deems it valid.

If I look at it...

how will a woman trust me enough to marry me?

So, those who do nothing when another man...

casts a vote that belongs to them...

also do nothing when someone misbehaves with their wife?

-Absolutely. -Sir.

Are you looking to provoke the ones that have also had their votes stolen?

Who is that?

I am provoking them, my friend!

When I reclaimed my vote, it became a law!

When a verdict is reached in a case...

the same can be cited and reached in every similar case that arises!

Whatever I received, will be given to everyone!

Despite of knowing the existence of Section 49-P...

what if they choose not to reclaim their vote?

If one lets someone else cast their vote...

I already told you how they are.

There's a way of saying that. Why are you saying it so haughtily?

What do I do? Half of our people have no brains.

How dare you say that we have no brains!

Who do you think you are? How can you make such comments?

Have a seat.

Please forgive me.

Half of our people are intelligent.

That's true.

Did you see that?

I said the same thing in a different way.

At first, you created a ruckus.

And now, you understood what I said.

When I said the same thing in a negative way...

the reaction was prompt.

How haughty he is! He talks so cheekily!

Someone else cast my vote, as well!

As per Section 49-P, they must return my vote, as well!

He's not special!

He has a different definition of illegal votes.

When you look for Section 49-P on Google...

there is a detailed description about it.

When a decision is made in a case.

The same thing can be cited and decided for every similar case.

Whatever I receive, will be given to everyone!

All the videos play his speech first!

It's been set up that way!

He works there, right?

A corporate guy came here to reclaim his vote!

So many votes in Kallakurichi were cast illegally!

We must reclaim it, as well!

So many votes in Pollachi were cast illegally!

We must reclaim our votes!

Several people are willing to file a case, buddy.

Unfortunately, they have no money. We'll still take it up!

Trichy Law College students have started a website.

If a vote is illegally cast...

they will file a case after we provide the Aadhar card...

and voter ID.

Send me that link, aunty! Some hooligan illegally cast my vote!

Sir, there's a crowd outside.

Hold on! Have your Aadhar card and voter ID handy.

You can all file a case!

28,000 people have filed their cases!

The number is rising!

Before Mr. Masilamani could stake claim to form the government,

a lot of people have filed their cases that their votes were cast illegally!

Over three lakh people have filed their cases with the High Court

to count their votes through an app

developed by the students of Trichy Law College.

3,30,000 people have filed their cases!

I realize now...

how "illegal voting" has played a major role in this election.

3,60,000 people so far, sir.

They've asked to reclaim their votes!

These are junior associates of Advocate Jethmalani.

Along with my case, they'll be handling this one, as well.

Please make sure that no one knows about my plan.

I've called you here for an important reason.

This is my hometown.

A problem has cropped up during this visit.

It may take a week for me to return.

I have a lot of work here.

So, all of you can go back. Right away.

Is that so?

Get going, all of you.

I'll be back once I am done with my work.

Did you get spooked by the girl's warning?

You shouldn't have let it go this far.

2,000 people per constituency have filed their cases.

Why did you not bring this up before?

I didn't expect this to happen, Appu.

The swearing-in ceremony is set on the day after tomorrow.

He must not create a ruckus.

It must be done tomorrow.

You're not even in power yet and want to murder already?

Killing a guy isn't always the solution, Mr. Rendu.

If a person is killed...

the party must utilize it to strike fear for six months.

He must be shredded limb by limb.

I'll call you after it's done.

The police should not come right away.

Let the body lie in the street for a while.

Let people take pictures of it and circulate it on their phones.

Only then, will others be afraid.

Doth thee feeleth attracted to me?

What happened to you?

You were okay, right?

Speaketh!

Doth thee feeleth attracted to me?

At each moment, I did want to asketh thee.

But 'tis so rare to findeth thee alone.

Why are you talking like this?

The children studieth in a modern English school.

Thus, a secret best be spoketh in a classical dialect.

A classical dialect to discuss secrets in Tamil Nadu!

By a politician's daughter!

Just a minute.

Did they order you to kill your target, or just to assault and scare him?

If your orders are to scare him, tell them I'm terribly frightened!

They didn't ask us to scare you.

They asked us to finish you off.

Not just you.

-Lay a hand. -What?

Lay a hand, I said.

Come on! Let’s get moving!

Come on! Let’s get moving!

Come on! Let’s get moving!

I’m a top guy! Dapper as hell! I’m a daredevil, I have lit the fuse

Shut them down, make them retreat Risk taking is on our radar

Who are you? Who are you?

Who are you? Who are you?

Hey, you!

Hey, you!

I’m a top guy! Dapper as hell! I’m a daredevil, I have lit the fuse

Shut them down, make them retreat Risk taking is on our radar

Don’t you dare glare at me And spike my energy

When someone does oppose It’s nothing but a sign of progress

You must not stay here anymore. Go back to America.

Really?

Is that so?

Really?

Keep a watch on him!

Don't capture him! I'm on my way!

What happened?

We found the man who is responsible for all of this.

Who is it? Your father?

No! It's not about that!

We have located the whereabouts of the guy who cast your vote!

Who is that guy?

I'm dying to meet him myself!

Buddy! Only liquor ruins a household, right?

Fermented rice just cools you down! How can it burn a home?

Anything that has alcohol in it can ruin a home. Got it?

What is this? Two baldies and a guy wearing two shirts?

He is the guy, sir.

What is a multiplex audience member doing in a rundown theater shack?

What is it, man? My goodness!

Why did you strike me like that?

Your blows took all the high off me! What's up?

I saw you on TV.

You reclaimed your vote, didn't you? Never mind!

Tell me why you hit me!

You want a reason!

Why did you cast my vote?

Your vote? What's your name?

What!

You cast my vote without knowing my name?

I've cast a thousand votes without knowing people's names, bro!

You're one in a thousand!

Can we sit and talk? Have a seat.

Tell him something, baldie! He hit me so hard!

How much did they pay you for that vote?

6,000 rupees. Plus, an additional 200 rupees as my travel allowance.

I flew here in a private plane with bodyguards for that vote.

For such a small task, why should we get Bodyguard Muneshwaran?

Bodyguards are security guards, man!

Security, right?

Listen up! Do you know who is responsible...

for the begging of votes?

-Me! -My foot!

Hey! Get that pot! Get it!

Listen. If you want our friendship to last,

empty that pot into your mouth!

Listen to me! Do it!

Forget the side dish. We'll give you dry fish!

I drank out of that pot, man.

I didn't sip it, bro! Drink!

Damn, you drink so quickly!

Haven't you done this before?

What next? After breaking that pot, break into a song!

Why?

He's American, man! He'll only sing English songs!

-Yes. -I only work abroad!

But, my core is as local as it can get!

I knew it from the way you hit me!

You must be knowing this place very well!

In order to prove that you're local, I'll tell you a few words.

Translate them into our language.

Why are you keeping that empty pot in your mouth? Put it down!

Drop it!

Shall I ask you?

Here we go.

Get this joint buzzing!

Hold on, man.

A total stud!

Watch! He'll get busted now.

We must rule this world, my friend!

We must rock this world.

My homie!

From today, I'm your friend!

What's next, bro?

Start your song!

We gotta scare the swindlers Away from us!

We must rock this world, My homie!

Get this joint ready Let's rock and roll, buddy!

I'm mangy and tangy, darling! Mess with me and I'll leave you hanging

Attention, troublemakers! Back off and get down on the floor

I'm mangy and tangy, darling! Mess with me and I'll leave you hanging

Attention, troublemakers! Back off and get down on the floor

Try messing with this Charming, audacious guy

I've earned my place here! I'll wrap this up and go about my day

This gutsy guy is still alive and kicking

Attention, troublemakers! Back off and get down on the floor

I'm mangy and tangy, darling! Mess with me and I'll leave you hanging

Attention, troublemakers! Back off and get down on the floor

Cross my path and you're done for

Calm down! All of you!

Listen to me!

They've called a ban on the swearing-in event.

3,000 folks in my constituency have filed their cases!

Cases are being filed in all towns, sir!

They want a stay on the swearing-in ceremony!

The hearing is at 10:00 a.m. We must do something big before that!

Party members are fuming, sir!

Let's annihilate those who have filed their cases!

We must start a riot to stop the hearing!

Calm down! Calm down, I said!

Will you be quiet or not?

-Yes, dear? -Emergency meeting, right?

Yes, dear.

A case has been filed, requesting the suspension of the swearing-in ceremony.

The hearing is tomorrow at 10:00 a.m.

What have you decided?

A riot must be instigated to stop the hearing.

If everyone reclaims their votes like he did, it will cause problems!

No need for riots, Dad.

Why, dear?

A riot will serve no purpose.

I already told you not to mess with him.

When is the hearing?

10:00 a.m. tomorrow.

You must be sworn-in at 8:00 a.m.

-My dear... -The hearing is at 10:00 a.m.

You must be sworn-in at 8:00 a.m.

We must first come into power.

Once we do...

call an emergency meeting of the High Court judges...

and convene them all.

The case will be delayed by a day.

Tell the Home Secretary to declare...

that the High Court building is unstable.

And, the next week will be spent on its maintenance.

One week will suffice.

We'll make everyone withdraw their cases.

Alright, dear.

Call the Governor.

You must be sworn-in at 8:00 a.m. tomorrow.

Alright, dear.

The case of over three lakh people who asked to reclaim their votes

will be heard in the High Court at 10:00 a.m.

We just got to know that at 8:00 a.m.

the government of Mr. Masilamani, will be sworn-in

at the Governor's Residence.

I've almost reached the Bar Council. I will be at the chamber at 10:00 a.m.

Not 10:00 a.m. Our case has been rescheduled to 8:00 a.m.

At 8:00 a.m.? How?

Before the swearing-in ceremony...

in the recent Karnataka state election...

a decision was made at 2:30 a.m. and the ceremony was stopped.

I cited that case and acquired a hearing in advance.

Come here!

The hearing was scheduled at 10:00 a.m. How did it begin early?

An advance hearing...

Don't just stand here!

-I'll check! -Investigate it!

Because of you, about 2,000 people...

per constituency are seeking to vote again.

They're not asking to vote ''again'', Your Honor. They haven't even voted yet.

He doesn't even know our language!

This unconstitutional election must be deemed invalid.

A re-election must be done!

A re-election is not a joke!

There is so much work involved! Do you know how much it costs?

The cops spend 10,000 rupees

to nab a thief who stole 1,000 rupees.

And, you think you'd save 9,000 rupees...

If you let him escape, he'll be a thief for life, Your Honor.

This isn't the time for budgeting.

But, it's the time to save people.

What do you think, Election Commissioner?

When he said his vote was cast illegally...

we gave him another vote.

Several people have come forward to claim for their stolen votes, as well.

We can't let him reclaim his vote and deny others from reclaiming theirs.

Almost 2,000 people per constituency have filed cases.

Several constituencies have won by a margin of 800 to 1,500 votes.

Now, there is a chance to change that!

Not only that, Your Honor.

The illegal votes cast so far...

have also been included in vote counting.

How can they be removed or deducted?

In the previous Tamil Nadu elections in 2016...

just 2,60,000 votes made the difference between...

the winner and the loser.

But those who have filed their cases this time, amount to 3,45,000 people.

You asked for a delay in their swearing-in ceremony.

But the ceremony is ongoing at the Governor's residence.

Thus, the urgency, Your Honor.

I'm happy to meet all of you.

We know...

how qualified our Chief Minister is.

The Election Commission has the power to do that?

In 1975, the Indian Prime Minister, Mrs. Indira Gandhi...

won the Rae Bareli constituency.

Citing foul play in that election...

the Allahabad High Court dismissed her from the Parliament.

The trust in democracy remains only because of an election every five years...

and rightful verdicts that are occasionally meted out.

Because of an unethical few...

the people must not lose faith in the Indian democracy, Your Honor.

The Chief Minister is here.

We know...

our Chief Minister is well-qualified.

He has done so much for us.

-Governor's personal assistant, right? -Yes, sir.

Okay. Where is that call coming from?

From the court, sir.

He is a Delhi guy.

You're from our town. Turn your phone off.

"I, M. Masilamani..."

I, M. Masilamani...

"From this day..."

From this day...

"Of this state..."

Of this state...

The leader is waiting.

An inauspicious time is near!

Mr. Masilamani...

Our victory, has simply been postponed.

Our next course...

of action will be decided at our party headquarters.

Disperse, peacefully. All of you.

Thank you very much.

My dear! Just a minute! Here you go!

-My dear? -What did you do to him, Dad?

Re-election is in 15 days. How can we do anything now?

The entire nation is watching, Dad.

If we stay quiet...

the court's declaration will be deemed true.

Huge riots must take place!

Plaintiffs. Opposition party members. Everyone must be afraid!

One more thing.

If we spare Sundar today, he'll go back to America.

He'll return in 15 days to cast his vote.

If we do something to him...

it will affect us in the polls.

We can't even chop off his fingers in America.

He must be finished today. Right now.

It must appear as if citizens and students are rioting.

Do not spare him, Dad.

After killing him, our party's reign must go about peacefully for 10 years!

Our opposition. Our allies. Everyone must be afraid of us!

Even our party members must bow down to us!

I see that your work is done.

Are you leaving for America?

Mom! Why do you want to ruin it when he's leaving?

If he didn't cast this vote, he'd have no respect in his company!

You've created such a ruckus!

What a plan!

Stay back and watch the fireworks that are about to begin!

Come with me.

Uncle Sundar! You're here.

You said you'd fix this, didn't you, uncle?

I will fix it, dear. I will.

Hey, sis! I told you that uncle would fix this.

Yes, dear.

When will you fix it, uncle?

When it heals a little more, I'll fix it. Okay?

Here you go.

What grade are you in?

And, you?

-Did you like the gift? -Yes.

The face of that girl is the present fate of Tamil Nadu.

How would you have felt if it were your child?

Her father...

poured petrol on his family...

and burned along with them.

Mom...

Can you imagine the feelings of that father...

when he brought that flaming match near the little child's body...

He must have gone through a lot of pain.

Who asked him to take a loan at exorbitant interest rates?

Come along, Mom.

Each person in these beds isn't a patient, Mom.

Each of them is a department.

This gentleman...

lives with a family of six members, including his parents.

He's the sole breadwinner of the family.

He worked on holidays and did a lot of overtime.

He's bedridden for four months.

It's not serious.

He was riding his bicycle and a bus rammed into him.

An unqualified person was appointed as a driver...

as there was an argument within the employees in the bus transport service.

This man lost both of his legs.

Department of Transportation.

Even small countries develop high tech trains and planes.

But here, a mere electric wire torn by the rains, killed three children.

This daily wage worker lost his hands

when he tried to save them.

Department of Electricity.

There were 87 deaths in a month due to mosquito bites.

Don't you think it's strange?

Did you see that?

He is fighting for his life.

And this is...

Department of Public Works!

Public Works! Transportation! Education! Electricity! Agriculture!

There is a department behind each of their woes, Mom!

The politicians feel that they can do anything...

when they have the power for five years!

I did this to stomp this arrogance out of them!

If they come back, I will strike back again!

As the High Court has not ruled in favor

of the former Chief Minister Masilamani,

his swearing-in ceremony has been halted by the Governor.

Owing to that, all stores across the states have been asked to shut down.

Communal riots have occurred in a few places

and people are confined to their homes. There is a panic attack across the state.

I think no one is at his house! If I get hold of him, he'll be finished!

Come along, guys!

Look around.

Yes?

-Stop that car! -Get out!

-Hurry up! -Get moving!

Move aside!

-Hurry up! -Open the door!

Look around.

-Spare no vehicle! -Check if he's in that car!

Watch out!

-Tell them to get out! -Get out!

I don't care!

The Reserve Police Force will be here in the morning. Kill him before that.

You've been looking around for 12 hours!

And, you can't find one man!

Dare you ask me where he is!

-Security, give me your walkie-talkie! -Yes, sir.

What's wrong?

A man named Sundar wants to meet you.

Is he alone?

Yes, sir. He's alone.

-Send him in. -Yes, sir.

How many guys are there?

18 of them are here and another 20 are downstairs.

Get them here.

-Get the goods! -Hey, get the goods!

Hey! Call the lawyer!

The lawyer's on the line, sir.

-Varada? -Yes, sir?

Sundar is in our office.

He's on his way.

Would there be any legal issues if we killed him here?

Within the office?

Wait until you hear from me.

I'll call back after I discuss it with a senior lawyer.

Come on Come on

I’m a top guy! Dapper as hell! I’m a daredevil, I have lit the fuse

Shut them down, make them retreat Risk taking is on our radar

Who are you? Who are you?

Who are you? Who are you?

Greetings!

I know you've been looking for me.

I just dropped by to have a little chat.

Don't listen to what your associates have to say.

Law and media are not the same.

It doesn't matter when a crime happens.

It is perilous.

It will never die.

The crimes that you commit...

are like weapons to your enemies.

They will enslave you with those weapons!

Money.

The money is accumulated in many containers.

They'll die if they don't see those containers.

You will have to go to the prison

for the crimes that you've committed in the past.

Just imagine how it will be when you're 75 or 80 years old.

What a pity!

Hey! Spare your sermon for some schmuck who gives a damn!

This is a battleground!

What have you accomplished?

The swearing-in ceremony has been delayed by 16 days.

We will be victorious!

My leader is a third generation politician!

Politics has been a part of his life for 55 years!

There is no need for campaigns or meetings! His face is enough.

For 55 years...

that face has been embedded in our minds!

My leader's face is in every product and every scheme!

From free goods to trash bins, all bear my leader's face!

That is our brand, dear boy!

You know about branding, don't you?

Our leader's face is our brand!

Even if a dog or a donkey...

represents us in an election, we will win!

Care for a demonstration? This is a challenge!

My goodness...

This is too much.

Mr. Rendu.

You are so arrogant in the second position...

with a name that equates to a second fiddle.

And, look at me. I am successful.

I'm working in the best country, at the best company and at the best designation.

How arrogant should I be?

Always be careful when you lay down a challenge.

What did you say?

After all, I am a specialist at destroying brands!

I'll lay it down, Mr. Rendu!

That guy above you...

your beloved leader.

I will destroy that brand.

Even if your party wins again...

I will not let your leader win!

Whichever constituency he contests in, I will compete against him!

Watch as I rip that brand into shreds!

The lawyer said that we can proceed.

Kill him!

I killed him, bro.

Hey! Let him go! Let him go!

Let him go, man!

What is it, dear boy?

Do you intend to contest against me in my constituency?

Do you think this is a computer game...

that is played in an air-conditioned room?

It involves a lot of blood, pain and life!

I'll show you what a political game is!

-What are you saying? -Yes, sir.

Sundar came here last night!

He came and met Mr. Rendu.

The main block is far away from the gate.

I don't know what they talked about.

I think they had a discussion for about 40 minutes.

After that, I went home.

I'm very happy, man! I'm ecstatic!

Victory shall be mine!

And, the credit for that shall go to my daughter!

-It shall go to my daughter! -What's up, dad? You're singing?

The thought of my son-in-law makes me sing a song.

Who, dad? My sister's husband?

-I thought he drove you mad... -Not him!

I meant your groom!

What? My groom?

Last night, that GL guy you love...

met Mr. Rendu at the office.

Really? How do you know?

Don't I have a sleeper cell at the office?

You, too? What does that have to do with this?

Your beau met Mr. Rendu and made a compromise!

He must talk to the Chief Minister...

and get me 10 Legislative Assembly seats.

Victory shall be mine!

The GL guy! If I did anything wrong, I must seek his forgiveness!

Welcome, son-in-law! Come on in!

I came to seek your forgiveness, uncle.

Forgiveness? Why are you talking like that?

First, come on in!

-The thing is... -Welcome! How are you?

-I'm fine. -Hi, uncle!

They won't let me talk! Get back inside!

Do not be bogged down by the past.

On an auspicious day, bring over the elders of the house.

We'll finalize everything.

How about that, dear? Is that fine?

Stop it, dad!

She's leaving angrily!

She's not leaving angrily. She's coyly waltzing away!

I visited your office last night.

I heard about it!

I met Mr. Rendu.

I have decided to contest in the election, as well.

Is that so?

I didn't know, dear boy!

You've joined our party, as well?

Please have a seat! I'm very happy to hear this!

Please speak to our leader and get me 10 seats at the Legislative Assembly.

-I can't speak to your leader about this. -Why?

Because I'm contesting against him in his own constituency!

O, those eyes! They are so great!

They are an alias for the moon!

O, dear breeze! Hug and kiss me, like a breeze!

And then as a mighty gale. I'm your Cinderella!

Oh my God, dear girl! I love you, my darling!

Come along with me, As soon as possible!

You are the one before anyone else! I am your best friend forever!

Shall we roll on the floor With laughter together?

In my opinion, You ogle at thousands of girls!

Tell me how much you love me. I don't know the answer to that!

In my opinion, You are the only beauty, O better half!

Never even move a millimeter away! Keep in touch, always!

I don't know how I would live without you!

O, those eyes! They are so great!

They are an alias for the moon!

O, dear breeze! Hug and kiss me, like a breeze!

And then as a mighty gale. I'm your Cinderella!

Oh my God, dear girl! I love you, my darling!

Come along with me, As soon as possible!

You are the one before anyone else! I am your best friend forever!

Tell me how much you love me. I don't know the answer to that!

In my opinion, You are the only beauty, O better half!

Never even move a millimeter away! Keep in touch, always!

I don't know how I would live without you!

O, those eyes! They are so great!

They are an alias for the moon!

It instantly is a good morning, When I look at your face!

I doze off into my dream world, When you lean over me!

Hilarious texts Exchanged over the phone!

You are my sweetheart, for sure!

When I'm out of town, I need your ''How are you!''

I want kiss and miss emojis Five times a day!

Any day I meet you, Is my happy birthday!

If you cuddle with me all the time, That would be so sweet of you!

O dear girl! Quite the taskmaster you are!

Shall I say ''Thank You?'' Such a cute girl, you are!

Shall I take care of you, dear girl? Together, shall we live our lives?

Oh my God, dear! I love you, my darling!

I'll come along with you, As soon as possible!

You are the one before anyone else! I am your best friend forever!

Shall we roll on the floor With laughter together?

O, those eyes! They are so great!

They are an alias for the moon!

O, dear breeze! Hug and kiss me, like a breeze!

And then as a mighty gale. I'm your Cinderella!

What's going on? You look like someone out of Jurassic Park!

It's styling, lady!

-Do you know why I want you by my side? -No, boss!

All the good guys and bad guys in this city look alike!

Let me know if you have friends or allies.

-Okay. -I must be careful with them!

-What! -Come!

-Is this where they will laminate? -Yes!

It's not "laminate." The word is "nominate."

Look at that face! Like an empty shell!

Are you aware of the election rules?

This election is on because he knows the rules!

Everything is original.

Aadhar card.

I have a postcard for you.

Write a letter to your relative, when you're free!

The picture in your Aadhar card doesn't resemble your face.

Shut up, man! I cast my vote using the card!

What is he talking about?

Should I look like how I do in the Aadhar card, or vice versa?

Your face must resemble the photo in the Aadhar card! It doesn't match here!

Whose fault is that?

It is... the department's fault!

Which department?

It is... the government's fault!

Listen up! A government officer admits that the government is at fault!

Did everyone hear that?

Oh, dear boy! Please don't ruin my career!

They've suspended 12 people who allowed that illegal vote!

I've acquired a housing loan. I pay the installments every month!

Please go gentle, sir.

10 people from your constituency need to sign!

Look over there, darling.

If 10 folks are a problem, there are another 10.

And, if the next 10 folks are a problem, there are 10 more to go!

Let me know if you need more guys. We'll bring truckloads of them!

All the details are thorough.

After I leave...

if I get to know that the spelling mistakes in my application...

were used as the grounds of rejection...

I'll sue all of you at the Supreme Court!

THE STAGE OF DEBATE

Tell us, Mr. Narayanan.

How will the clash between Mr. Sundar and the Chief Minister be?

I know them very well.

The Chief Minister has won three times in that constituency.

With that same token, Mr. Sundar is a corporate monster.

"Genghis Khan!"

His strategy and tactics would be scary!

It's going to be a tough game.

No, it's not!

He is a young fellow!

But he doesn't have a brain!

He earns a salary of 1800 crore rupees!

He even wishes to earn more!

He gets free publicity here!

He will tell you how much his company stock price

has risen in the last two days.

It has risen!

Is Mr. Sundar doing this for his company stock price...

or out of his goodwill? Only he can answer that!

Really?

Mr. Sundar is on his way. He's coming on to the show.

When you sent an invitation, you said it would be the two of us. A live show!

We didn't expect this either, sir!

I’m a top guy! Dapper as hell! I’m a daredevil, I have lit the fuse

Shut them down, make them retreat Risk taking is on our radar

Rather than telecasting my photo and doing this over the phone...

I'm coming over to the studio.

-Welcome, sir! -Greetings!

He even went to the TV station, bro!

-Where do I... -Over here, sir. Have a seat.

Tell me.

What are your doubts?

A guy can do nothing after casting his vote.

But you toppled the entire State Assembly...

with the vote you didn't even cast.

Pretty tact, indeed.

What a marketing scheme for your company!

It's been proven that you'd do anything for your company, right?

If that's your doubt...

I will resign from the position of a CEO.

You are the CEO of GL. This makes the nation proud!

Are you serious, sir?

An ordinary designation in that company is a dream for several Indians!

The company is no longer mine.

What do you have to say about that?

These are all...

Decisions like these won't help you win against my leader!

The thought of a single party democracy is the biggest danger for the country.

Your confidence leaves me in splits!

Our party is a significant establishment!

You're just one man!

When tossed out of a train, even Mahatma Gandhi was just one man!

Nowadays, one man turns into a group and a group turns into one man...

over the course of a single day, sir.

The guy is free as he left his job. I've got plenty of work to do.

I'll get going.

Hey! Turn off the cameras! Stop recording!

My dear boy...

I'll tell you something off the record.

People at the constituency are fuming...

at the thought of you going against my leader.

Don't go near Ayodhyakuppam.

In other places, they burn effigies of guys.

Over there, they burn the guy alive!

-Which place was that, again? -Ayodhyakuppam.

My first meeting will be there!

The welcome is too grand.

Looks like we'll be thrashed!

Let's avoid this gathering.

Can't you can finish this at home on Twitter?

It will be a lot easier that way.

He said they'd burn guys and cut them into halves.

I don't think that will happen!

Listen up.

Just look at how they're yelling and not attacking us?

There's a reason for it.

As you're up for election in this region...

the demand for votes has gone up.

The price of a vote has risen from 5,000 to 9,000 rupees!

You must remain alive if they are to be paid!

Stay calm, folks!

Please. Stay calm.

This program is conducted by the students of IIT.

It is on Facebook Live right now!

This is a fun program!

We didn't bring this man here to cause trouble.

Right now, you're going to troll him.

Come on! Troll him!

You're new to politics, right?

This must be their idea of an initiation ritual.

Do you know the price of tomatoes?

How much does a kilogram of salt cost?

Do you eat salty food?

I see that you are all in a trolling mood!

I don't know the price of tomatoes.

Do you what a tomato looks like?

Hey! Show him what a tomato looks like!

This is a tomato, sir!

Brainless fellow!

Should I tell you an interesting crime story about this tomato?

In seven countries across the world...

the sauce acquired from our tomatoes is consumed with immense pleasure.

Our tomatoes have an extraordinary demand all over the world.

But there is a big mystery.

The ones who cultivate these tomatoes, keep dying here.

Do you know why?

From all the tomatoes that are cultivated here...

a quarter of the produce is deliberately allowed to rot...

and is dumped in the trash.

Let's assume that each of these folks have 50 kilograms of tomatoes.

Despite the high demand, I'll buy tomatoes from only one of them.

I won't buy tomatoes from the other guy, even if I really need it!

What's the shelf life of a tomato?

Two days.

Both the sellers would be paralyzed with fear

as they wouldn't know whose tomatoes would rot first.

Right now, the price is quoted by the tomato sauce manufacturer.

He'd buy tomatoes worth 40 rupees, for a mere six rupees.

Even then, he'd only buy it from one dealer!

The produce of the other dealer would rot

and be thrown in the garbage.

Somewhere in the world...

a family will enjoy their meal with tomato sauce.

Whereas, our agricultural families here...

will commit suicide.

Therefore, the next time we decide to fling tomatoes at someone...

let us think about the farmers who cultivated the crop.

What is it?

Why are you so silent, guys?

If you want to troll me, go ahead.

I have a doubt, sir.

Ask me!

During the election, sometimes we vote for fun.

Otherwise, we get paid to vote.

But, why do you struggle so much just to cast a vote?

You discovered that Section 49-P exists.

You toppled the government. You resigned your job. Why did you do all this?

Shall I tell you the reason?

Yes! Yes!

My native place is Rameswaram.

Surviving between poverty at the shore and the military at sea...

our family is one among a hundred fishing families.

We can't be sure if we will be safe, if we go out fishing.

The families of people who lost their lives were forsaken.

Every family died of hunger.

Then, there was an election.

We didn't trust any candidate in contention.

They left for the sea without voting. My uncle went with them.

When they reached the sea, they realized it.

Elected politicians wield the power for five years.

But, the citizens?

They have only one day.

Once they realized their mistake of going to sea...

they thought of going back.

At that time...

the neighboring military opened fire on these innocent fishermen.

My father...

was among them...

13 people...

died.

When the ones who survived the attack tried to bring the wounded ashore,

my bullet-riddled father said...

"Don't take me ashore.

The funeral arrangements would cost 2,000 rupees.

My children can live for 2 years with that money.

So...

Take my body...

and toss it to the sea."

When he passed away...

they tossed his body

into the sea.

Usually, people only throw mortal remains into the sea.

But my father was thrown away.

Those who won the election did nothing at all!

The fishermen's union funded my mom's education.

She studied and became a school teacher. We studied too.

I studied like crazy! Harder than ever!

I attended every interview that came my way!

Regardless of the city or country I'm in...

I always come back

for elections.

One of you asked me, right?

"Do you eat salty food?"

I'm a fisherman!

Salt is in the air I breathe!

How many of you are not from Chennai?

How many of you don't belong here? Raise your hands.

How many of you wish to go back home?

Why haven't you?

They came here to escape hunger and famine!

You're from Rameswaram. I'm from Pudhukottai.

I wish to go home.

But folks come here due to hydrocarbon issues.

How can I go back?

I'm from Tirunelveli. Loan shark issues!

I'm from Chengalpet. Mercenary issues!

I'm from Thanjavur! Methane issues!

I'm from Kanchipuram! Sand mafia!

I can't get water from River Cauvery.

River Krishna is inaccessible.

The Mullaiperiyar Dam is of no help.

How can I go home?

32 problems across 32 districts!

We've living as refugees in our hometown.

They'll even strip us of our clothes if we continue to remain quiet.

We should have an answer!

What did you say, sir? Can you repeat it?

We should have an answer!

When did you question them, sir?

How will you get the answers if you don't ask questions?

Write down every problem on a piece of paper.

I will question... the Chief Minister Masilamani!

I will ask the ones who have been in power for three times...

as to when these problems will be solved.

From here, I'll go straight to him.

We can't go there now, sir.

Mr. Masilamani is at an event.

It isn't safe to go there right now.

If I decide to ask questions, my policy is to do it right away!

If so, we'll go with you.

We'll come with you, sir.

We'll come with you!

We'll come with you!

When you ask questions, it will lead to trouble.

When you ask some more questions, the trouble will strike with vengeance!

We'll come with you!

-Let's go! -Come on

Let’s get moving

Come on Let’s get moving

Come on Let’s get moving

I’m a top guy! Dapper as hell! I’m a daredevil, I have lit the fuse

Shut them down, make them retreat Risk taking is on our radar

Who are you?

Surrender! Yield!

Surrender! Yield!

Sundar is on his way to meet you.

He's coming here?

What an idiot!

He's coming by motorcycle!

I am a top guy and about to strike a blow Think twice before attacking me

Get out and get some air I would crush you to pieces

Go for it

Don’t you dare glare at me And spike my energy

When someone does oppose, It’s nothing but a sign of progress

"Planting trees lead to rain!", they say!

What kind of trickery is this?

Are the seas filled with trees?

Doesn't it rain there?

If I will say that, they will call me a fool!

Come on Let’s get moving

Once the decision has been made to end poverty... ##

let's print 5,000 or 10,000 or 20,000 rupee notes?

Do you not know about productivity?

What is it? Come join my political party?

Or did you come here to tell us that you're leaving for home?

I have come for neither of them.

I'm here to ask questions.

Dare you ask me anything!

Did you see the size of this crowd?

If I utter something...

I don't even need to utter a word.

If I make the slightest gesture...

they'll rip you apart!

Here are the 32 key problems from 32 districts.

The public are in a state of poverty and difficulty.

Announce it here that you will solve them after the election.

And, I will withdraw from your constituency.

If you're afraid, just admit it and leave, my boy.

Instead of writing letters like a schoolboy.

I can read this language.

I'm glad I can do that.

What is this?

The things that we have relied on for 30 years in politics...

is all on a sheet of paper?

If we solve this, poverty will vanish!

If there is no poverty, will people take money for votes?

They must scrounge for food!

Their bellies must feel the pangs...

and their ears must ring with hunger!

And, when we give them 5,000 rupees...

they will act like beggars to vote for us.

How will you understand this? Here you go!

No.

You have misunderstood it.

They can withstand hunger and poverty only for a while.

Surpassing that, if you lay a hand on their self-respect...

You remember, right?

The bull fight!

My dear boy...

in Tamil Nadu, there are only two main political parties.

One of them, is me.

The other, is the guy speaking on that microphone.

Now, he came along with his party and merged with my founding party.

Now, I have the majority power!

Therefore, if your citizens wish to vote in anger...

they'll cast 100 votes for the soap symbol...

or 200 votes for the party with a comb symbol! That's it!

If the majority power was more than before, this would have been sorted!

Idiot!

I bought all these people off

with the acquired money.

234 members of the Legislative Assembly...

and 36 ministers!

The paper in your hand is their source of income.

What will you accomplish by going against me in one constituency?

My single party democracy will soon come into power.

Isn't that unique?

I understand now.

I get that you're not a political machine...

but just a small wheel in that enterprise.

Not just that sole wheel, but the whole machine needs a replacement!

I only wanted to contest against you in your own constituency.

I'll tell you right now.

Not just in your constituency.

But, in all 234 constituencies...

I will have my people contest.

Flapped your gums too hard, sir!

Do you have that much money?

You said that I came to your gathering and got caught, right?

When you arrived, how big was this crowd?

Look at the size of the crowd right now!

Can you hear it?

Can you hear that roar?

Hooray!

Hooray!

This crowd came together in one day!

Mr. Rendu!

Nowadays, one man turns into a group and a group turns into one man...

over the course of a single day.

Let them go!

Don't you dare...

Come on, hit him.

Who was that?

I'm letting you go, as you're a lady! You can't bear the pain I mete out!

Don't tell a woman who bore two kids that she can't bear pain!

Hit me, man! Hit me!

Strike me!

Strike the hands that got money in exchange for my vote!

Strike the legs that ran after the free goods!

Strike the mouth that questioned your brutality!

Does it hurt? Does it hurt?

It hurts them. It hurts them.

This is all my fault.

Don't cry!

We got to know that they will hit us, if we ask questions!

This pain will not go away!

I felt the spirit of the freedom fighter Kumaran in this pain!

It's nothing, dear boy. It will heal, if I apply turmeric on it.

Can we step forward if we worry about pain?

You're all saying...

that you don't feel the pain, just for my sake!

I heard what a woman said in the crowd!

"Don't tell a woman who bore two kids that she can't bear pain!", she said.

This is like the pain of labor!

Please bear with it!

A brand new...

A brand-new Tamil Nadu will be born!

The only discussion doing the rounds in Tamil Nadu today

is the riot that transpired last night

at former Chief Minister Masilamani's meeting.

He's going everywhere!

As a riot had broken out at former Chief Minister Masilamani's party meeting,

political pundits have indicated that the AIMMK political party

have fallen out of favor with the public.

They're being hit like the cattle!

What are the human rights activists doing?

As per the poll conducted by Loyola College

52% of the people came out in support of Mr. Sundar Ramaswamy.

He had an approval rating of 4% at a survey conducted yesterday.

I said I'd have my people contest elections...

in all 234 constituencies!

The election is just a few days away.

The public saw what happened yesterday on TV and are reading it in the newspapers.

They're interested to know what we're going to do next!

Watch out!

More happy news!

200 to 300 people per constituency...

are ready to step up, even before we asked them!

I'll tell you what we must do next.

First, we need a place to work.

A place! This is the place!

But so many families live here!

Good grief, my boy! Step aside!

Move aside!

Listen up!

Until the election is done, this block is our office!

This block is for housing!

All of us will live together.

We're all one family!

When we stepped out, we ate and fought together, right?

Just like that!

-Do you get that? -Yes!

Our enemy?

Is formidable!

Yesterday, we were...

Naive and gullible!

Today, we are...

Infallible warriors!

Until yesterday

We were naive and gullible!

Until yesterday

We were naive and gullible!

From today

We have woken up as fighters, infallible!

Fighters, infallible!

From today, we are

Fighters, infallible!

Fighters, infallible!

Fighters, infallible!

Fighters, infallible!

Fighters, infallible!

Fighters, infallible!

This is a one-vote revolution!

Do you feel the emotion?

This is a one-vote revolution!

Do you feel the emotion?

All set, sir.

Sir...

First, thanks everyone.

I'll tell you why I said that.

I've gotten a lot of questions about who will compete in each region.

And, about 200-300 people are willing to step up to compete in their region.

I thank them very much.

You needn't fear that it's another political party.

Because, this is neither a political party, nor is it a brand.

The citizens of each city are going to decide their representatives!

We are going to find them!

Every city is a home to several selfless social workers.

They're there in your town, as well!

They may be school teachers...

retired military folks, or young farmers.

You must pick three people per region.

They'll claim to be uninterested. Don't spare them!

It is up to us to find our Kakkan and Kamaraj!

In that way, you must pick three people per region.

Among them, we'll pick one.

No personal interviews! Just Internet scan!

Old emails and messages sent by them. Old purchases.

Old bills paid on time. Traffic cases.

School and college attendance rate. Sincerity and health!

Disobedience! Exam scores!

We'll scan and see...

if they've broken rules or paid any fine...

and pick an honest...

and qualified person in your region to lead us all!

Find the leader of your land!

This is our government!

Wipe out poverty

Make every effort!

Is wiping away the poor Your only strategy?

We have the fire to strike back!

Just wait until our fingers Get inked black!

Why did you sleep through your turn?

Cashed in your vote and now you yearn!

Having traded your honor, What did you really earn?

This is a one-vote revolution!

Do you feel the emotion?

Won't the domineering fist shiver, When we question injustice together?

Won't the fate written by the common man, Bring forth a new dawn?

When will you fix it, uncle?

Do you feel the emotion?

To wipe out poverty

Make every effort!

Is wiping away the poor, Your only strategy?

We've gotten a lot of positive reception across social media. Just a little...

Hey... he is the one I told you about.

My name is Rathnaswamy.

I'm a sign board artist at Nagappatinam.

My friend, Muthukumar, is a freelance reporter.

He ran a website called "saattai.com."

It's been 10 days.

He has been missing during the election.

I have filed a police complaint. I don't know where he is.

I went to his house yesterday. His sister gave me a hard disk.

I was shocked when I saw what was in it!

After thinking a lot about it,

I brought it to your notice.

Right now, we are at 64% in the polls.

This is a significant weapon against Masilamani.

Right before the election...

shall we trap him?

You scored the winning sixer at the final ball in this war, bro!

Long live our queen!

Long live our queen!

Long live our queen!

Long live our queen!

Long live our queen!

What happened, uncle?

The thing is...

Get back inside, Mom.

Our leader had sorted something through our friend Appu.

That guy has some information on his hard disk.

If it gets public...

I don't know when he'll release it.

Give me just 10 hours, Dad.

I'll render him an invalid vote!

Uncle Rendu.

Yes, dear?

Call for a press conference.

Dad's going to address the press.

He may be a corporate criminal.

I've been a criminal, right from the womb.

They say people from my party attacked the police!

Can the opponent in my constituency come to my party's meeting?

Regardless, I will let him sit next to me on the stage.

You would've seen it on TV.

What was the need for him to summon so many people and come to my meeting?

Watch this monitor.

Look at what he did two days ago, when he came to my party's office!

What do you have to say?

Who unleashed this anarchy? Who propagated this violence?

Is he the one you want?

You cast aside the man who lived for you for 56 years!

At the age of 15... when I was a little boy

I protested against Hindi and vanquished it!

Today, you're an expat, aren't you?

Don't you like this attire?

Tell me! Tell me, everyone!

I'll die right now!

I'll tell you something that's much more important.

Only after taking 60,000 crore rupees from two corporate companies...

he dismantled this government.

I'll provide the details and documents pertaining to it, at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow.

Sir!

Did he really do this for 60,000 crore rupees?

If that much was given, I'd have jumped to it myself!

What about the evidence?

My daughter will handle that!

This is 6,000 rupees. This is 2,000.

Everything is set, Appu?

Yes.

Have you ever witnessed an accident, uncle?

I've seen it in the videos that are shared on social media.

We're going to watch him get run over? Splendid!

Have you ever met with an accident?

By God's grace, I have not.

Put on your seat belt.

-Why, dear? -Put it on. I'll explain it to you.

The accident...

is not for him.

It's for us.

Don't do this, my dear!

This is unnecessary.

The vehicle has six air bags!

-Don't do this! -There's no threat to life!

Stop the car!

Call the senior doctor!

The poor girl is in pain!

Dare you take a video of this! Go get the senior doctor!

Leave! Go fetch the senior doctor!

My dear! Why did you pull everything apart?

-Has it been recorded? -This one's better.

-My dear... -Relax, uncle.

Is everything okay? Shall we go home?

Just a minute, my dear.

Why must we get into an accident with our car?

Only then, will he do away with the suitcase!

Did you stage an accident for the theft of an empty suitcase?

"Empty suitcase"?

Didn't it have the evidence that Dad talked about?

But it had nothing...

SUN NEWS

On the heels of the announcement of former Chief Minister Masilamani

providing the evidence against Mr. Sundar tomorrow morning,

his daughter, Komalavalli met with a car accident at 9:00 p.m.

As per the surveillance footage recorded in that street,

the mysterious driver that caused the accident

ran away with Miss Komalavalli's suitcase.

Mr. Sundar Ramaswamy is suspected of having committed this heinous act.

What is this?

I couldn't comprehend anything when I heard about your accident!

I felt better when I heard that you were alright!

He's staging something big! The public is furious at us!

People are angry with him.

But he has one last trump card.

He has the hard disk of Muthukumar from ''saattai.com."

What if he releases it?

Before she deceives more people, we must go public with that hard disk.

No one must talk about the evidence in his possession.

Every street, alley, nook and corner of Tamil Nadu must talk about you!

Yes, dear.

The news about you must constantly fill the air.

Your birth. Your youth. Your wars. Everything about you.

Not just the Chief Minister of the neighboring state...

even the Prime Minister must be at our gates!

Indeed, dear.

If we end up in prison...

We're doomed.

One corruption charge will become four. And, 40 co-conspirators will be named!

The party will fade into oblivion.

Even if we're not around, our party must remain in power, Dad!

Streets, bridges, stadiums...

and universities should be named after us!

Bronze statues and stamps should bear our faces!

Will we get any of it if we end up in prison?

What we need right now, is a full sweep in this election.

Thought I'd lose the party.

Turns out that with it, we're getting a regime, as well!

Rendu knows everything.

He's been with me.

Don't spare him.

I know you won't.

Owing to former Chief Minister Masilamani's death...

his daughter, Komalavalli will contest instead of him...

at the Royapuram constituency.

Long live!

Owing to the sudden death of former Chief Minister Masilamani,

Tamil Nadu has turned against Mr. Sundar Ramaswamy.

The notion that Mr. Sundar Ramaswamy

is responsible for Masilamani's death is engulfing the state.

Go back, you evil force!

Go back, Sundar!

The election is near.

I don't know if we can release the evidence.

She ensured that this is not valuable!

The public is already furious at him.

If we accuse a dead man, the anger against him will increase.

Any dead man is a martyr, right?

I need to speak to you in private.

There are no secrets here.

All are one.

You must be aware of the present situation.

You can't even win over a ward councilor.

At the polls, you're at 2%. I am at 98%.

I have a proposition for you.

You must leave for America today.

Don't be there for tomorrow's election.

Anything else?

You've caused me a lot of trouble.

You've helped me a lot.

You've helped me identify my enemies...

across 234 constituencies, by making them face the election.

234 cases are ready to be filed against them.

Watch what will happen to them

within a week of the election's conclusion.

I'll hunt for each of them.

Suicides, accidents and other charges. I'll mercilessly destroy them all.

You claim that you're going to win. So, why must I leave today?

You must take off without casting your vote.

It will make me victorious.

Impromptu leaders like you must never come up again.

Your retreat from here will set an example to them.

I don't have the habit of retreating.

You can get going.

If that's the case, after I am sworn-in, watch your guys die one by one.

Kiddo!

You haven't even won yet and you're dreaming of revenge already?

Your dad? Masilamani?

When he won the election and was being sworn-in...

as he was saying "I, M. Masilamani..."

We finished him.

Get going!

You need to win first.

Then, take up your post.

Let's think about this later.

Stand back and look at the things that change over the course of a day.

I am a corporate criminal!

I know you've been a criminal right from the womb. Now, leave.

DEMOCRACY

ELECTION DAY: 9 A.M.

Why are you still standing?

The polling is going on for an hour everywhere!

15% of the votes have been recorded.

The election has begun!

It hasn't ended, has it?

ELECTION DAY: 10 A.M.

Head over to the booth!

ELECTION DAY: 11 A.M.

Polling began at 7:00 a.m. and is going along vigorously!

Men, women and young voters...

are enthusiastically casting their votes.

Let's take a break, Anita.

-Has this been confirmed? -I think so.

Breaking news!

It appears that the missing evidence against Mr. Sundar...

who is held responsible for the death of former Chief Minister Masilamani...

has been recovered.

Journalist Saattai Muthukumar released the evidence on his Twitter feed.

He claims to have the suitcase containing the evidence against Mr. Sundar.

This morning, when he reached former Chief Minister's daughter, Komalavalli's office

she said that releasing such evidence...

during an active election was against the rules.

She honorably refused to accept it.

He said he would personally release the evidence against Sundar

once the election concludes.

Don't panic!

It was me who tweeted under Muthukumar's name!

What?

You posted the tweet against yourself?

We don't even know if we'll get 2% of the votes! Why did you do this?

We have six more hours at our disposal.

From now, every passing minute is important to us.

Just do what I say.

Ask me, if you don't understand.

Sundar's handiwork.

He claims to have evidence against himself!

He's even given you a good name by playing up your integrity!

Why is he tweeting on behalf of someone else?

Despite reclaiming the evidence that your father mentioned...

they say you decided not to publish it...

as it was against the election rules.

How could you take such a mature call?

Any information released on the Election Day...

is against the election rules.

Which is why I asked for its release tomorrow, once it was over.

Muthukumar from "saattai.com" posted another tweet.

He tweeted the location of the money containers...

that Sundar took from the multinational companies!

Containers of money? That's our money, man!

Why does he claim that it's his money?

Cases have been filed against Sundar under three sections.

He is expected to be arrested today.

As far as the election goes, he will lose his deposit!

Damn you, Sundar!

As the work is in progress at the election...

this mounting evidence against Sundar is annoying!

As it is the time of election, the focus of the people will waver.

And, it will be against the election rules.

Mr. Muthukumar...

When I met you this morning, I told you...

to release the evidence to the police.

I request you not to do anything pertaining to this...

just for a day.

ELECTION DAY: 1 P.M.

It's okay even if we lose this election, sir.

Please stop tweeting, sir!

The police are looking for all of us!

My father's constantly calling me.

Couldn't you have told me this before? I just posted another tweet!

Sir, what is going on?

He said there'd be a container of money! There are corpses here!

It's the body of Muthukumar, sir!

Muthukumar from "saattai.com." He's been dead for days!

Isn't he alive?

The lady claimed to have met him this morning.

She confirmed the news of him giving her the evidence this morning!

She claimed to have met someone today, who died ten days ago!

When I met you this morning, I told you about it...

But, as he seems to be dead for more than 15 days...

how could she meet him this morning?

Multiple attempts have failed when we tried to contact Komalavalli.

It's 2:00 p.m.

How much polling would be done by now?

45% is complete.

60% is remaining.

Don't worry, my dear.

Whatever is the case, we'll win.

Some of you may have suspected...

that Sundar has planned everything.

Indeed, I have.

My first tweet...

had the name of a man who died 15 days ago.

So that lady would've known, it was me.

She didn't know my next move...

and knew that a dead man wouldn't come back to life.

She lied.

That's not all!

The circumstances of the former Chief Minister Masilamani's death...

will soon be revealed by a close relative on a live platform.

It is...

Masilamani's wife.

The young lady's mother!

If some of you haven't voted yet, wait for a while.

She'll give her statement. Live at 2:30.

Cast your vote after listening to it!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

-Mom! -What is it, dear?

Mom is missing.

Mom mustn't speak up, uncle.

We only have four more hours.

If mom doesn't speak...

I will put a new spin on all that went down!

Mom!

Where's my mother?

She said she was going to sir's grave.

ELECTION DAY: 2 P.M.

You've come in early today!

The reporters are on the way!

We have 10 minutes to go.

I haven't seen the news reader yet, have you?

No matter how much you wait, no reporter will be here.

Once the election is over, the news will be out!

Do you want to know about the headline?

Nothing will happen.

Hold on.

I'm not in the mood to fight right now!

I usually don't get angry, but I'm angry right now!

I will hit you until you bleed!

I will hit you until you die!

Nila.

Try to get on Facebook Live!

Madam...

Tell the media exactly what you told me.

-Are you ready, Nila? -Yes.

Go ahead. Speak!

My husband, Masilamani, did not die a natural death.

He was killed by my daughter, Komalavalli.

I watched her give him a high dosage of medicine.

I didn't try to stop her.

Because, he wasn't such a good man.

I told these people about the murder of Muthukumar from "saattai.com."

If you let my daughter rule...

she will sell out the entire state!

This Facebook live stream is on all channels.

I know that everyone is watching it.

So far, 53% of polling is complete.

Normally, voter turnout amounts to only a maximum of 80% of people.

If we will escape from this situation right now...

every one who is left out must vote!

It is our only hope!

They're young kids!

What did they wish for?

It wasn't just about Muthukumar!

So far, they've killed 18 people who questioned them about their crimes!

All of them are youngsters like these kids.

They have a dream of bringing joy to the lives of others.

Where did they go wrong?

Where did they get such courage to kill people?

They do not treat us as human beings.

But they treat us as paid votes.

We accept their money and cast our vote.

This makes them haughty!

In such a big state, only 45-50% of us vote!

10% of them are paid votes! 5% are illegal votes!

Another 5% is the exchange of gifts!

20% of people decide who will rule over 100% of people! Is this democracy?

The least a citizen can do for their country...

is to cast their vote!

We only have three hours to go!

This is not just for lazy folks and for those who are idle at home...

even if you have an important task to do...

put it on hold and go cast your vote!

If you can't stand in a queue for 30 minutes to press your finger...

to cast your vote for your country...

you are a thief of the first order!

You are a criminal of the first order!

Three hours to go!

If you let this pass by...

this situation will continue for 20 years!

The country will regress by 50 years!

Pick up your voter ID!

TWO DAYS LATER

The AIMMK leader, Komalavalli and Rendu Malarvannan have been arrested

in the murder case of former Chief Minister Masilamani.

210 members of the Legislative Assembly!

Regardless of any party backing, you contested alone.

But you have won as a team!

Who will you choose as the Chief Minister?

210 members of the Legislative Assembly. 210 symbols.

That's surprising, indeed.

Who is the Chief Minister?

That's the next question.

Once again, 209 people need to be scanned.

The most qualified one must be selected.

I said 209 people because...

I won't be part of it.

The thought of a single party democracy is the biggest danger for the country.

I will be on the other side...

as part of the opposition party!

I will be asking the questions!

Sir, what are you up to?

This is a brilliant decision. And, it is final.

There's a former district collector among you. Mr. Sarkunam, IAS.

I nominate him as the Chief Minister.

We had 14 days!

It was possible because of the youngsters!

If you go to other countries of the world and ask them

the names of those who gave their lives for their community,

they would take the names of those who were alive 30 or 40 years ago.

But if we ask the same question in Tamil Nadu today, the answer would be...

"It is the youngsters who gave their lives this year."

"It is the folks who sacrificed their lives last month!"

Although, they were agonizing deaths...

I am proud of them.
