Please, open the door, di

Pcccht!

Yes

I am Parimala

My grandmother's name

Pccht! Just a sentiment

Who is Sudhandhiram?

Amma

I was born on August 15th That's why my name means freedom!

I haven't got any freedom for anything so far!

I stepped into this kitchen 20 years ago

Parasakthi?

Enemy

Sorry... sorry, my elder sister

Before her, we had Rina

Pccht! She died

- Fill this form - Okay

'Sudhandhiram, Rs 2000 for 1 gas cylinder'

'If we book now we will get after 1 month'

Were you drunk when you named me 'Madhu', pa?

Whoever pronounces 'Madhu'

They don't even emphasize They draaag my name to the fullest

Parasakthi I chose that name

Madhumitha Your mother's selection

When we were traveling by train from her hometown Palakkad

She thought long and deep and came up with your name

- Ready, ma - So soon, di?

- Showered? - I washed my face

I dabbed perfume all over I'll shower after my exam, bye

How will Goddess Saraswati bless you?

Now do you understand?

Why even Goddess Lakshmi doesn't enter our house?

You'll say, because of her you didn't find your Mr Right

Go

Is this how you talk to a girl?

Wretched wife!

Why will I say this if she behaves like a prim and proper girl?

Your mother has come back in her form

If you don't drag my mother every single day, you can't sleep in peace!

A daughter-in-law mudslinging her mother-in-law and vice versa

That is the order of the day in every corner of India

That too, in middle class 100% impossible

[crow cawing]

[water overflowing]

[door bell rings]

Who has placed a flower pot on my doorstep?

Huh? Flower pot?

Oh! Uyir Ulag brother

I got confused, come in

Tell me why I rang your door bell?

Must be short term memory loss I've already paid your rent

What if you've paid?

Switching on the motor often

Is this how you will waste precious water?

Aiyo! My eldest daughter Sakthi's doing

She will insert the charger cable? She will forget to switch it on

She will switch on the motor and forget to switch it off

- Switch on the fan- - Enough, stop

- Enough? - This is my house

Hope you remember that?

Of course, that's why I look after it as my own

Don't change the ownership documents Just pay the rent promptly

Okay?

Definitely

[clearing throat]

What do you want for dinner?

'Idli'

'Dosa'

'Chappathi'

- All 3 - 'No'

Only 1 option

- Chappathi - Dosa

- Idli - Okay

Then it is 'pongal'

[dog barking]

Not for you, darling

Your favorite bread omelet for you

Pongal was not even in your list

Your votes got split, one each

This committee decided on 'pongal'

Aiyo! No need rice and lentil at night, ma

Appa wanted chappathi, right? I'll vote for the same

I vote for chappathi too

3 votes counted

Committee has decided on 'chappathi' for dinner

I want only dosa

Okay, dear You can have your dosa

Give her Rs 50 in her account

She can have her dosa in the roadside mobile eatery

Go, my dear

[shared chuckle]

"The tune that runs online a real koel sings 'live' so divine"

"Will sadness fade anew into the sky, out of view?"

"Will gladness out of the blue climb on the rooftop seeking you?"

- Coffee - In 10 minutes

Can you get me juice?

Juice

In 10 minutes can you give me soup?

- Soup - Buttermilk?

- Buttermilk - Can you make black coffee for me?

Black coffee?

Give your stomach some rest please

Why are you stalking me?

- I like you - Took you 13 months to say this?

My horoscope has certified me as a stubborn, headstrong shrew

My husband has to toe my line My amma tried her best to reform me

No way, she has changed her ways now Falling in line with my wishes

To sift and sieve and marry such a strong-willed girl

That's my ambition

What a weirdo!

"If spice is lessened in chutney will that change its name, tell me?"

Iran is being bombed and you are hitting coins here

"Like the 4 wheels moving a car let's always stay as a family together"

Is my black coffee ready?

What- HEY!

I swear!

What to do with this family?

YOV! Parimi

Even the dog barks in reply But their lips are zipped!

"Will gladness climb anew the terrace in search of you?"

Uncle... uncle

The water is mossy green because the tank hasn't been cleaned

- So? - Tank has to be cleaned

Hire someone to clean it

We can do it ourselves

Not enough, no, di?

'Aiyaiyo!'

I'll get even with you

Appa!

Let go of me, di

No one in this world is worse than those who fall in love

'Dress isn't good, color is bad Why do you use lipstick?'

'Who is that chap? Who is this fellow? Why do you talk to him?'

Aiyo! Plaguing questions

'And killing me'

Such control freaks are just not my type at all

Describing your character as mine

I like that very much

- Let's see - See you

Your pot is full, move

Hey! Is this free Govt water supply?

We informed your owner

- What? Owner- - Go and ask him whatever

Parimi... hey!

- What is it? - Neighbor females are taking our water

Where is your father, di?

Appa is bathing

Whaaat? Ask him to come out and bathe!

Should ask him to vacate at once

Hey, take your damn pot and get out

Uncle

Your look

Awe... some

[dog barking]

Parimala uncle

'Madhu darling'

She is not my lady-love

My liiife

Your words and actions are not at all decent

Don't follow my daughter hereafter

Not follow her even in FB and Insta too, Parimala uncle?

Don't stalk-

Hi

I'll kidnap Madhumitha and marry her, challenge?

Weed weirdo

Why is appa talking to that creep?

He has been acting cheap with Madh-

Hey Madhu darling

- I love you - Chee!

Yuck, huh?

Madhu darling Want to taste this fish?

- Get lost, madcap! - Wowww!

Real torture it seems

How can he torture a 'torture', ma?

Torture squared!

You go inside

'Hello, 'freedom' aunty'

'You tell Give me your daughter'

Dai! I'll break your teeth

One more step and I will slap you

Public place, so I'm sparing you

Okay uncle, how many time you beat also, beat... beat

Go in

And me, Madhumitha

'Loving and marriaging'

'And sitting my bike and riding'

How... how... how beautiful, uncle

So you... marriage your daughter with me

'Uncle, it will be wonderful if we dance together as a family'

Hey! Go away, please

Why is he stepping out?

- Uncle, why are you praying? - Listen, please go

Amma, 1 coffee

This bold babe is ready to fight

- 'Why tension?' - You there!

- Look at her, ma - I am watching you

You are stepping off limit?

Humiliating my dad in the middle of the road

Huh? Think you're a big shot?

Please, Parasakthi

I thought she's a student She's even ready to kill

Excusing you only because you are my babe's akka, otherwise-

Before I bash up your face shut your gob and get lost

Uncle, what upbringing?

- What the hell? - Parasakthi

I won't hesitate this is a road You'll hang your head in shame

Go inside, pa

What are you gawking at? Go away

Please... please

Clear out before I spit on your face

You have the guts to spit? That too, on my face?

Madhumitha is mine

'Anyone dares to butt in'

Sure to hit the grave

STOP IT!

You know what's good for this face?

A splash of acid will add color

- I'll do it, di - Scoot before I count 5

- Clear out - Come inside

We have tortured this girl a hell of a lot

You think she will hurt us?

'Using your daughter to threaten me?'

- Go... go... go, please - Advise your daughter

- Lower your nightie - He's being so boorish

Act decent Untie this

- Don't beg, I'm going - Please go

That mop-head is watching from upstairs

Is this a show to watch? Clear out, da

[Malayalam] No other work in the morning

'Parimi'

Your son-in-law is the find of the year

'Your family can weed away to glory'

Bye, 'freedom' aunty

I have no hassle or shame he came and created an ugly scene

But the fact you picked a fight with him!

Aiyo!

Then what, pa?

Should a girl be stuck in the kitchen like our amma and watch the fun?

I can't be like that

Coffee

Do you know how dangerous he is?

My dear husband!

HEY!

I'll ensure my son kills you, da

She etched a feud for 12 years in her son's mind

So Varghese smoked up and killed him

'Good lord!'

How do you know all this?

A fellow who is following my child

Won't I follow him?

Varghese will carry out his threat Even that's okay

Whatever it is, doesn't appa deserve respect, ma?

Will you be so vulgar to spew swear words at him?

[muttering cuss words]

Even now she's cussing me, pa

- Heard her? - Shut up!

I'll get even with you

Stupid of me to take your side

- Now she's blaming me - Both of you, stop it

- Let go - How to stop them?

- Did I ask you to defend me? - Let go, di

Oh no! You shouldn't fight like this, dear

You get a regular knife You pick the traditional kitchen cutter

Go chop each other outside in the middle of the road

Only then it will turn into a reel and become viral

Is that so?

[clenching teeth]

[snorting]

Parimala

Not just 1

Both your daughters are for me

Ahaaaa!

Freedom! Here you are

Old man, she is my mother-in-law

Give whatever she wants I'll pay you, not to worry

She has given me pure gold, 2 gems?

Look, don't create a ruckus wherever we go

Then you'll feel real bad

As if I'll feel bad!

Listen to me, you had better get both your girls married to me

Otherwise, your freedom will be caged!

See you? Freedom, Jai ho!

Madhu darling

Why is your father filing a complaint against me?

You think a mere complaint will scare me?

Glaring daggers at me Selfie sweety, huh?

Let me click a selfie

Pcccht! Delete that

Give me the phone

Delete that photo

'How dare you, da!'

- Warning you once isn't enough? - Hey Parasakthi!

I've got a gift for you

Why are you talking to him, di?

'As if I did! He is stalking me'

- Dai! - Hey!

Hey Parasakthi

You pounced on me that day

Egg... eggy

[gloating loudly]

[fireworks popping]

Why have you bought only sweets, pa?

- Let me expla- - Where are the crackers, pa?

There are 2 ways of bursting crackers

AIYO! APPA!!

Hear me out, darlings

The first one is buying crackers spending money from our pocket

Getting scared while lighting it

That powder inside it smearing stains on your hands and new dress

End up burning holes in your new dress as well

Neither is it safe nor does it provide satisfaction even if it is saturation level

The second way?

Make it a picnic on our terrace Munching on our sweets happily

Watching others bursting crackers pretending we got people to do so

Screaming loudly in pleasure and enjoying to the fullest is the other way

You get safety

Satisfaction

Savings too

Short and sweet Zero budget Deepavali?

Bingo!

Ours is the best fireworks show in this entire neighborhood, no?

That must have cost Rs 500

Rs 500 vanished into smoky air!

Look, that must be Rs 1500!

Click that

Upload in your status

'Ahaa!'

We must have burst crackers roughly to the cost of Rs 10,000, no?

No, we have burst for 12500

- Heard that? - 'How he's tricking those poor girls'

Couldn't you have bought crackers at least for Rs 2000 - 3000?

If he does that, I will gladly transfer this house to his name

Buy just to make him lose the bet

Even then your husband won't spend a single rupee

Sudhandhiram

Actually I went to buy crackers for us

Adjacent to the fireworks shop I saw a jewelry store

A girl invited me in to buy jewelry

Another girl urging passersby to buy crackers

Jewelry or crackers?

A middle class family like us

We scrimp and save somehow

And tend to buy gold to get our gems married

That is why

I opted for gold

Sudhandhiram

Fighting with life to stay afloat

Swimming against the tide to survive

Our middle class existence slips away, no?

[loud explosion]

Yov! Parimala

Tomorrow morning if you don't wish 'Happy Deepavali, son-in-law'

And willingly tell me 'you are the groom'

- He will tell - You will agree

See you, uncs

Happpy Deepavaliii

- Here, dude - Give

Deepavali crackers

Hey! Enjoy

'Parimala, this is your last night Think well before you decide'

We will

We will vacate tomorrow

I will withhold 3 months rent And give balance deposit, okay?

You are a real son of a-

'He has posted on Insta'

Aiyaiyo!

Appa

One day

One day...?

He pulled me and hugged me

Yuck!

We can live in peace only if he 'rests in peace'

Shall we kill him?

Agreed, pa

I am so furious right now

I feel like murdering him

But

Won't it be a crime and become a case?

To kill is a crime, it will naturally be a murder case

How do we murder without anyone's knowledge?

No need such drastic measures, pa

We will get caught, pa

Yes, dear, even I feel we will get caught

[crows cawing]

[dog barking]

[crackers exploding]

Hey! Doesn't that chap resemble your younger brother Raghavan?

Your brother is also with him Keep quiet and walk with us

[siren wailing]

'Move... move'

Move this side Don't block the way

I wanted to have a proper oil bath on Deepavali day

You are ruining the festivity by calling me here

Move out of the way

Move... move

'Hey! Open'

He has been strangled with a wire, sir

He is a hot-headed fellow

He would've acted with temerity Someone must have killed him

Aiyo! My son

Varghese!

'Varghese'

'Varghese'

Your mother is here, da

Don't touch the body Come this side

Move... clear the scene

Go... clear out

Ambulance, drive here

[siren wailing]

What do you mean?

Yes, pa He's dead

The police are planning to investigate, it seems

Just to bash up, one amount

To separate the limbs Hands and legs, another amount

Finish off once and for all That's a bigger amount

Why are you overthinking? We can do a clean job

Shall we do the needful?

Er... I don't

[smug chuckle]

Parimi

Happy Deepavali

Happy Diwali

[crackers exploding]

'Parimala and Co'

Why did you do this?

I used to burst crackers only this way even when I was a kid

Only yesterday you asked us how we can get rid of him

How did you kill him so soon?

Hey! Didn't we all decide unanimously yesterday?

We will get caught if we kill So we won't resort to murder

Then what?

I'm asking you why you killed him when all of us decided not to

Why... kill-

[muttering under his breath]

'Freedom aunty'

'Then you'll feel real bad'

I'm so scared we'll be stuck in some mess because of him, da

I think it is better to vacate this house

Why shift your house, akka? We'll shift him to hell instead

Hey! Don't rush in and do something rash

As if we don't have a PhD in murder, huh!

Ohhh!

You used your younger brother and did everything

Then turning the track my way, huh?

Yes

Dial 100

Call the police, hand me over claiming I am the murderer

Dad

- She is the culprit, pa - Me...?!

Send me his photo, address and all the details you have

Okay, uncle

My actions will give you a solid headache

Are you okay with that?

That is life

Then will you help me?

But it is very risky

Why?

You want me to kill someone?

Shall we?

I'll slap you Don't spin some yarn

Hey! Wait... wait

Didn't you crack your knuckles and threaten to kill him?

'I will kill you for sure'

'All I have to do is nod my head 4-5 goons will close your chapter'

'Want to bet?'

Who are those 4 goons?

Appa, words spilled out of my mouth in a flow that day

I am just a pitiful soul

I put up a brave front

Even she said, 'you will die in my hands'

'You will die in my hands'

An impending death before her wedding is assured as per this girl's horoscope

Oh God!

Her stars are aligned making her a murderess

AMMA!

- What do we- - "Up the stairs... upstairs"

Let's go inside and discuss calmly

Happy Diwali

Happy Deepavali

Who killed that Varghese, huh?

Sir, that's personal revenge

How do you say so?

If this were business he'll be a corpse dumped on the road

Chopped his right hand, sir With a deep seated vengeance

I'm sure this is family revenge, sir

- Why do you say that? - He crossed a line somewhere

What did he touch which he shouldn't have?

I want to meet the Inspector, sir

- Who is the Inspector? - Of course you, sir

They say I am the Inspector of this station

If you want, tell me

Or meet the Inspector in the next police station

Sorry, sir

I need to file a complaint

What complaint?

Sir, my bike is missing

'I parked my bike in the free parking section'

'When I came back it was missing'

You couldn't afford Rs 100 as parking fee

Penny wise and pound foolish!

- Eat this 'bhajji' - No, thanks, sir

Take it

I won't accept your complaint otherwise

Eat, da

Tasty?

Yes, sir

Tell me

This morning

A chap called Varghese was found dead

Do you know him?

No, sir

'Notorious rowdy Varghese from Foreshore Estate in Chennai'

Finished him off, huh?

He deserved to die

Why are you so negative?

No, my dear

He is responsible for my wife Karmegam's demise

He was on drugs and ran over my wife who was walking by the side of the road

The police claimed it was an accident

Or they threatened to turn the case against me

How can I fight him?

That's why

Someone killed him

Emperuman, you are nabbing the murderer of Varghese in 24 hours

Yes, sir, I am still following that case

Aiyo! He has left me to suffer in pain like this

What will I do without him hereafter?

'Oh God!'

I undertake catering I cook and deliver food

He will follow me everywhere calling out 'amma' every second minute

He was more of a friend than a son to me, sir

He was in love with a girl for a few years, sir

He was so frank, didn't hide even that from me, sir

Who is that girl, madam?

Madhu?

'Sudhandhiram'

Why does she look like she has seen a ghost?

'Hey!'

What is bothering you?

Nothing

I did

I did not

I did not kill him I swear, pa

I didn't love him either, pa

Hey! You haven't even spoken to him

Then why are you scared?

No, I did not talk to him

But-

What is that 'but'?

Nothing, ma Forget about it

Pa...?

She is hiding something, pa

Before the police knock at our door for an inquiry

You start interrogating them in your police style, dear

Have you spoken to him?

Or is the answer 'no'?

I haven't looked at his face and uttered a single word, pa

Then why are you scared?

I've spoken over the phone, pa

Is that so? For what?

I wondered why this chap is piling so much respect on me

'I got his number and gave him a courtesy call, pa'

Varghese, I'm Madhumitha speaking

No... no, I yelled at him, pa

Hey!

[yelling at supersonic speed]

Madhu darling

Your string of cuss words is awwwwesome!

Did you call to yell at him?

Or did you yell at him as an excuse to call him?

Did you talk to him because you disliked him?

Or did you talk to him to entice him?

[gritting teeth]

[mobile vibrating]

Pcccht!

He told his mother

Mother... mother

- I'm in love with this girl - Really?

'His mother'

Proudly announced to all her relatives

'This girl is my daughter-in-law to-be'

She pointed a finger to my face and said so, pa

I was hopping mad

Then I called him once more and spoke to him, pa

Call on top of call?

How else will she refer to her 'daughter-in-law'?

You found out my

If you wanted to yell at me you could have spat on my face

'What do you call this then?'

Love, right?

Get lost, you lunatic

The way you scold me

Awe-some

He spoke like a lunatic

[mobile vibrating]

I'm in an inquiry, you stupid girl

I'll call back Hang up now

The thing is

That moment

I punched his face, pa

Achacho!

- I thought I gave birth to only 1 rowdy! - Pcccht!

Are you a rowdy too?

How dare you hit my son, huh?

If he is still a wild fellow after your marriage, then hit him

Even I hit my husband like that

- What do you say, Fafa? - Yes, akka

His mother finds it funny and laughs shamelessly

What an odd family, ma

One swift blow from me and his nose went red and swollen

The moment I noticed that I couldn't control my laughter

I laughed at his puffed up nose, pa

'But she thought I was smiling at her son'

She is hiding tonnes of love within her heart, my son

So she said loudly

Oh gawd!

He looked like Panda with that swollen nose

Who is Pandan?

Like the cartoon figure Panda

I was so amused I started laughing

The lady standing next to them said

'She is just blooming Naturally she'll feel shy'

You sound like Vadivelu joking about the pee-street in the film 'Giri'

Huhum

With his swollen nose he piped in

Awe....some!

He complimented shamelessly

My dear, this reminds me of the bakery comedy in the film 'Giri'

Bakery? What is that?

That dialog, dear 'I will keep your sister'

'You can keep the bakery' Vadivelu will joke in that film

[cackling laughter]

[gnashing teeth]

Why that look?

Is this a joke to share in front of our girls?

Is pee-street comedy alone a moral story?

[dog barking]

You had such a detailed screenplay in your hand

In one line

'Appa, he is stalking me' You painted it short and simple

Double wow!

Pa, we will be arrested for sure

[humming]

[humming]

Hmmm... tell me

'We are a gang of 7 Thick friends from childhood, sir'

Yes, sir

Varghese is a good chap, sir

Yes, sir

If all of you certify will Varghese become a saint?

Yes, sir

You are all into lip pillow nicotine pouch, no?

No, sir

Whether you are stoned, baked or blazed

I need a hit

Who has it?

"Don't wane or fade so soon Stay, my silver-white moon"

- Don't have? - Sir

Not lip pillow, sir

But we have 'stamp' with us

Stamp?

LSD

Lip pillow is local, sir

Stamp is mind blowing

Show me

"Don't look at me; please refrain My fragile heart can't bear the pain"

Give

I'll pop one too

Go over there

You go there

GET LOST, DA!

You come here, da

You come here

Tell me now

- Who killed Varghese? - Don't know, sir

Cough up the truth, da

Jomi, sir

- Tell me, sir - George

Tell me, bro

Nicholas

- Tell me, baby - Cage

Boys, come here

Who is Jomi?

Who is George? Who is Nicholas?

One man for all names, sir

Yes, sir, Jomi George Nicholas Cage

Repeat

Jomi George Nicholas Cage is a brand

If you try to destroy that brand

I'll go bang-bang-bang Shoot all of you and move on

I am a brand label, da

Don't be scared

Whatever happened has happened

The police will knock at our door

They will press and probe Grilling us with question after question

We should be in sync and lie

- Okay, pa - Kamal Haasan's 'Papanasam'

Haven't you watched that film?

In Hindi the hero is Ajay Devgan

In the original Malayalam version Mohan Lal is the hero

You left out hero Venkatesh in Telugu

[gnashing teeth]

- Why? - Is that important now?

'If you tell the truth'

I will save you like Kamal Haasan did

How will you save us when you were the murderer?

You will be behind bars, no?

Only we will be able to save you

I did-

I did not-

I did not kill him, di

I am not the murderer

Okay if you say so

I did not kill him

Hey! Touch your conscience and speak up

You killed him, right?

Appa, I swear I did not kill him

I promise on both of you, it wasn't me, pa

[dog barking]

Okay

Both of you promise by touching your mother's head

Why am I the lamb for the slaughter?

I swear I did not lie

If you lie, amma's head will explode

HUH?

Now both of you promise

We are your parents Why should we promise, huh?

True that!

[mobile ringing]

May be he is the kill-

'Who is calling?'

- Hello? - 'Did my husband come there, anna?'

- Raghavan? - 'Yes'

He said he is going to Chennai and left Palakkad

'He hasn't returned yet'

- Here? - 'Yes'

Ahh...1 minute

Hey! Did Raghavan come here?

Promise, he didn't come?

Trust me

- No - Okay, anna

'Hey! Doesn't that chap resemble your brother Raghavan?'

'Your brother is also with him Keep quiet and walk with us'

'Is my brother tagging along?'

Is he suspicious now?

Cheers!

Why is he hmmming?

Hmmmm

'I will figure it out'

[mobile vibrating]

'Madhu darling'

Who are you?

'A chap called Varghese is dead'

The last call he received was from your number

Who are you?

I...I called by mistake

Is that so? Whom are you kidding?

You told him to meet you in Duming Lane

'You told him you'll give him a gift Your voice has been recorded'

Hello?

- She cut my call - Cut your call?

[dog barking]

Sssshhhh!

All of you, come here

Madhu, appa is calling us

I...I'm... coming

Come soon

My guess is

The police are on their way here

[police siren wailing]

We will make it clear we have absolutely nothing to do with this murder

But the truth of the matter is one of us must have killed him

Correct?

Let that secret stay with us

Okay?

Remember the film 'Papanasam'?

I have forgotten most of it

Can we watch it together?

You can watch it in YouTube

Search

Not uploaded as a full movie

Only as scenes

It will be better to watch it in a flow, right?

Check which OTT platform?

Sun NXT, pa

How much?

Rs 899

Eight hundred and ninety nine?!

Only Rs 299 if we choose the 3 month plan, pa

Nothing wrong in spending Rs 300 for a murder case, no?

Subscribed?

Starring Kamal Haasan 'Papanasam'

[inhaling camphor]

Appa, police

How can it be?

Tamil Nadu Police faster than lightning?

They have tracked us so soon

Aiyo! Evidence

Switch off the TV

All I wanted was to try a 'lip-pillow' They gave me some rotten stuff

Got me buzzed flat to lie low on a big pillow

My head is spinning like a giant wheel

Drive me home

'Have they come?'

They have left, pa

Ohhh!

They are in Observation Mode

Hang it properly Fix the clip firmly

Aiyaiyo! They are here

[siren wailing]

Ma, that was an ambulance

'On India's stance regarding drug use in South Asian countries'

'United Nations has expressed its concern'

'Annually 17 tonne heroin worth 70 billion is being consumed'

'In India according to statistic reports'

'To control this, Central and State narcotics agencies'

[mobile ringing]

Sir?

Round up all the rowdies in Varghese's gang

Okay, sir

- Did you trace the - Yes, sir

'Madhumitha P D/o Parimala R'

'24/1, Uyir Ulag house 'Periyapalli street'

Sudhandhiram

Coming

[clearing throat]

You will be alone at home

The police will come

They will conduct an inquiry too

Whatever question they ask show no fear whatsoever

Tell them, 'I don't know'

Can I say something?

I'll stay inside

You lock the door on the outside

I will lie low staying off the radar

'Hello, Parami Office, huh?'

That Varghese who hit on your daughter is dead it seems

Aiyo! When?

You didn't know?

Hey! You ganged up as a family and killed him as you claimed you would

I'm happy too

But scared heart of hearts

His mother is a big-time rowdy

She will barge in here and bash up all of you

Police will come

'Maybe even the military'

What do you want me to do?

I'm asking you to vacate

- I can't shift, Ulag - Why?

I mean, Uyir

We are in no way connected to this murder, sir

Not only that

They are still students, Ulag

Give me 3 years time, Uyir

3 years? You want me to count bars for those 3 years?

Yov! I am the one in a soup

Better vacate now, man Give me the house key this evening

3 years indeed! Why not ask for 30 years?

Your faces look like an accused

'Soup ready, my dear'

'I am ready too'

The police won't find the killer, akka

They are acting as if they are investigating

We have to hunt him down

Whoever nabs my son's murderer

I'll transfer this house in his name

'Gift him a car'

And cover his entire wedding expenses

'Find the killer, da'

Hunt him down

Akka, all that is fine

Why didn't Jomi George attend the funeral, akka?

Akka, Aslam Mustafa also didn't attend the funeral

Hey Jayanthy

Aren't you a nurse?

[humming a song from 'Yuddham Sei']

'Don't tell anyone, di'

'I am trusting you completely'

'You know this camphor I like sniffing it often'

I chew betel nut often too

'And then'

I am addicted to Axe brand balm

Will I have any health issue later on in life, because of this?

Who is inside?

- WHO IS INSIDE? - Oh God!

Anybody there?

[doorbell ringing]

I can see you reversing your steps

String hopper head

Is anyone inside?

Sudden silence?

Having done all this

She has acted as if she is so innocent

That's why you didn't pick my call?

Have you noticed this trait in some?

Curse them all you want Use your choicest cuss words

Advise them till your throat is hoarse

They will still be the same

That character fits my sister to the T

Super character

- Huh? - Very interesting

I must meet my sis-in-law

No need

Did my husband call you?

And ask if you came to Chennai?

'No, akka'

I won't blabber You zip your lips

'He has some kind of doubt about you, da'

Is anyone in there?

'How?'

Talking to yourself?

'I AM SPOOKED'

Open your mouth and speak up

'Open the door'

'I will even reduce your rent'

'Hello?'

I'll be back

[humming]

Hey! Tell me

Where did you get this Stamp?

Post office, sir

I'll slice your mouth and stitch you up

Don't know, sir

Friend is dead and he's joking

Sir, we are grieving inside

He deserved to die, sir

- Why should he die? - He's more dangerous than his mother

Why dangerous?

'He has 15 schools and 18 colleges, sir'

Is Varghese loaded that much?

Drug supply, sir

'He supplies drugs to all the schools and colleges, sir'

'Drug supplier to students, staff and children of affluent families'

'He hosts parties every night, sir You can have any drug you dream of'

'Sir, you know Aslam Mustafa? Close friend of Varghese, sir'

'He didn't even attend the funeral I have my doubts on him, sir'

'He is hosting a party tomorrow too'

Heard that, sir?

How about gate-crashing that party?

What? Did the police land up?

Only 'fear' gripped me No one else turned up

What's wrong with the police? Slower than a snail in their inquiry

Only if they inquire with lightning speed can they zero in on the killer

I feel like I am catching the flu, dear

Only I'm feeling that way?

- Or you have the same symptom? - I feel sick too

I bought some tablets on my way back from work

Me too, pa

Even I went to the doctor Had IV drips and injection

Aiyo!

- 'So sad' - How much did you spend, dear?

Pa, I spent my personal money

Don't get me wrong

I need to maintain an account of our expenses because of this case

'That's why I asked'

Good lord!

'A chap called Varghese is dead'

'The last call he received was from your number'

'Who are you?'

Swear you didn't kill Varghese

Hey! Swear now

Do it now

Who else would have killed him?

Swear... swear now

'Hey! You there'

You must swallow the bull's eye fully

If a single drop of yolk spills

- FIR only - Aiyaiyo!

'Listen'

'If rowdies take on the job of the police'

Will the police turn into rowdies?

You want me to wait hand and foot on your boss lady?

Nothing of that sort, sir She wants super fast action

A mother's grief

On fire, huh?

Shut up and sit down

"Don't look at me; please refrain"

Dai!

'You don't even know to swallow a sunny-side up'

You intend tracking down the killer, eh?

I ate it without spilling, sir

Is that so? Clap... clap... clap

Clap for him, da

I believe your boss lady has a love interest

Varghese got to know that, it seems

'Jomi George Nicholas Cage is a brand, da'

'If you try to destroy that brand'

'I will go bang-bang-bang Shoot all of you and move on'

Shoot, da

If I see you anywhere near my house again

If he dares to step into our home once more

I won't make allowance for you as mother

I'll pound your skull and coolly walk away

He didn't attend Varghese's funeral

Maybe he killed Varghese?

If you didn't kill him

Then why the hell did you go hiding in the sea?

Huh? To fish in the Bay of Bengal!

It is all a safety precaution

Or did the mother kill her son because he found out about her lover?

Of course not, sir

Who the hell killed Varghese?

Don't know, sir

Eat

My daughter is ready to become a wife

She has learnt to make coconut chutney!

Should girls always be linked only with the kitchen?

I thought of that poor soul who becomes your lifetime prisoner

I am so keen on meeting him

'M.Emperuman Inspector'

[Tina barking]

- Amma - 'What, di?'

Come in

Hi aunty

You wanted to see my lifetime prisoner, no?

Here is that 'piece'

Take a good look

His name is Chittu

'Chittarasan'

Er... please sit

There are 2 ways of getting married

1 - inform your parents and all your relatives

Invite family, friends and serve piping hot coffee and crisp 'bhajji'

'We'll get back to you' will be the reaction

Waiting endlessly for a groom to say 'yes'

2nd way

Don't give any hassles to anyone

No wasted expense on coffee, fritters etc

Finding my own Mr Right Bring him home

Saying, 'he is my choice' like I am doing now

Money saved for parents

No stress running around and no tension either

1 minute

Okay, aunty

- Come in, di - 1 minute

Looks like she is shell shocked

Pccht! Is this her first shock?

She will be shocked only if I don't shock her

Oh!

Have you brought in many boys before me?

Hey! If I say I love to shock my family

You are shocking me by asking if I brought home a line-up!

What is this? She's suddenly showing up with a boyfriend

You know the way she shows off in our room?

Why are you going off track now?

Aiyo! What do I tell your father now?

Let's postpone it

For the time being, no need to tell your appa anything

I'll tell him myself when the time is right

Have you watched 'Papanasam'?

Huh? No

First watch that film

Why should he watch?

Sir will also be called for inquiry

Why?

Did you kill anyone?

'Of course not'

'Your friend is full of quiet mischief'

'He talks just like a policeman'

'Selvi, give me your cool porridge'

[dog barking]

Whatever happens is always for the good

Looks like your friend is in a hurry to leave

- See you, aunty - Glad we met

Parimalu

You got a Speed Post

No one was home

Postman is known to me That's why he gave it to me

Not all girls will flip for him

Only a lame chick like you will fall for him

Better than that Varghese you loved!

Hey... madcap!

'Shall I make coffee for you?'

Who has sent you a letter?

Some damn Speed Post

What is it?

'You have committed a full-fledged murder'

'Whole family is trying to cover it up'

'I know you hired a killer'

'I have recorded a video at 10:48 p.m'

'If I send it to the police'

'It will serve no purpose for me'

'But very useful if I hand it over to you'

'That is why'

'I want you to pay me 20 lakhs'

'Otherwise I will upload it on social media'

'The police will automatically come to your doorstep'

'If you think of hiding it'

'I will make sure you go behind bars'

'Watching you'

Yours ransom-ly

Agnisatchi

Who is this Agnisatchi?

2 million!

Your father will have a heart attack to recharge for just 200

20 lakhs is unthinkable

Which one of you three killed him?

Aiyaiyo!

'Er... hmmm'

Our girls swore on us that day

But somehow I have

A strong suspicion only about you

When we went to the terrace that day to burst crackers

You got a call out of the blue

'You were talking for a long time in one corner of the terrace'

He died half hour after that call

How is that possible?

On the day of the murder

Your brother has lied and travelled all the way here

Where did he go?

Where did he say-

You know my health is fragile!

In the end looks like he will accuse me of the murder

Good lord! I can't take this

'This is why I don't come anywhere near you'

'If you had joined the police force, game over'

'Our country would have gone to the dogs'

Hey dude!

'Partying with just booze is outdated style now'

'Only one intoxicant'

Stamp Present trend

Can you see everything in kaleidoscopic colors?

- Yessss - Eyyyy!

'Heady, huh?'

Hey... Vicky... Vicky

Don't go on a bad trip

What happened?

What's wrong with him?

[siren wailing]

'HEY! WHAT HAS HAPPENED?'

'The police are here'

Shucks!

Heart attack, sir

He has used LSD

This drug goes by different names

We call it 'Stamp'

'College students IT boys and girls'

'All of them are addicted'

'With repetitive consumption it affects the nerve in the brain'

'They become psychotic, sir'

Sir, unless the Govt takes immediate action to cure these fellows

It's going to be very, very dangerous, sir

That's my word of caution

Thank you, doctor

- Kovi - Sir

Drag all those in that party to the station forcefully

Yes, sir

I am actually suspecting my dad

Appa is doubting my amma

Amma thinks my sister and I did something hand in glove

I know my sister is not so capable

But she thinks I used you to kill that fellow

Only I know you are totally worthless!

Sorry, da Gushed out in a flow

True that, on top of it the police are looking for me

Hey!

- What are you doing here? - Pani puri, sir

- Who is she? - Friend

What is your name?

- Parasakthi - Which college?

A R M college

How long have you known him?

We met recently, sir

- Did you find your bike, da? - Not yet, sir

- You'll get it - 'Thank you, sir'

Come here

Go

- Hello? - The girls will be glued to the TV

- Or fiddle with their phone - Aiyo!

'From when?'

What happened?

What is it, dear?

My akka-

My elder sister is unwell

Why this dramatic pause? You can say that promptly

You need to go visit her?

Why are you overthinking?

Please go

You girls want to go with your father?

You should tag along

You can't get a better aunt than her

'In this whole world!'

You were our first born

She saw you for the first time when you were 3

You were born next, she didn't even peep in till you were 4 years plus

Shut up!

All you can do is shut me up

As a bride wanting to marry you I became your wife, you see

Take it out on me

1 egg 'dosa'?

My akka is critical You are thinking of egg 'dosa'!

Don't want? Fine, forget it

You know trip setter Mustafa, sir?

Someone has murdered him, sir

'Move back... clear out'

Sir, take a look

Sir, post

[dog barking]

Agnisatchi, ma

'Not bad at all'

'You are still full of guts and temerity'

'A family member in your home is the killer'

'I will eliminate 1 out of you 4'

'Because you suffer from high BP and diabetes'

'I will release you alone'

'Sudhandhiram'

'Then who is the culprit amongst the balance 3'

'The killer will know'

'Hereafter not 2 million'

'My demand is 2.5 million'

He is multiplying by compound interest

'Read on'

'I can give you 2 more days'

'Yours graciously Agnisatshi'

Which one of you?

Is it you, di?

Pcccht! Keep quiet, ma

Arnold, go to Camera

'Who is this chap? Staring guiltily at the camera?'

'Who are these two?'

'Whom is he calling outside his gate?'

'Stop'

'What is that in front of his bike?'

'Box of crackers, sir'

'Go to Parimala's house now'

'Zoom in on that gate'

'Same box of crackers, sir'

'Watch it, I will kill you'

Kovi, saw that?

The crackers Varghese bought is in Parimala's house

What more evidence do you need, sir?

- Arnold - Sir?

The tower range records?

- Did you collect? - Yes, sir

Sir, Madhumitha calls Varghese at 9:40 p.m and invites him

But before that, at 9:35 p.m

'Madhumitha gets a call from an unknown number, sir'

'At 9:56 p.m'

Varghese comes to Duming Lane as specified by Madhumitha

'Sir, you know what is interesting here'

'The call to Madhumitha's are at the same tower for 7 minutes'

Madhu darling

No Madhu darling here

Her uncles, both maternal and paternal are here

'8th minute that unknown ♪ travels to Alwarpet tower range'

Kovi, Sengamalam's boyfriend

He's Jomi George, sir

He went into the sea, sir

'Then out of the blue he comes ashore, sir'

'Then he suddenly disappears into the sea'

Comes, goes, enters, exits

Exists, exits Appears, disappears

He comes and buys all the items he has to

Calls whomever he has to call and returns to the sea, sir

'Yov Arnold? Why get hyper?'

Ma...?

Appa's sister passed away, it seems

Oh gawd!

[tutting pseudo-sympathetically]

Why did she leave in such a tearing hurry?

'I feel sad for her'

Leave your sadness aside

'I killed Varghese'

Your brother just confessed to me standing here smiling ear to ear

'When I asked him, he said'

'My sister knows everything A to Z'

What is this, di?

Hello?

'Hello?'

HELLO!

Why? Is my brother the only culprit?

'Your brother is an accessory to the murder, didn't he tell you?'

Kamatchi

Coming

Did you join hands to kill that chap, huh?

Brother, why are you yelling? Why raise your voice?

'We asked him to delete your daughter's photo from Insta'

He refused point blank Your bro-in-law hit Varghese

Varghese retaliated, hit your bro-in-law I hit him for hitting your bro-in-law

He hit me, seeing that your bro-in-law hit him back

'I retaliated'

He hit me and bro-in-law pushed him

He fell down with a thud on a stone and died

- Became a corpse - AIYO!

If you yell like this will the dead chap come alive?

Let's cremate our akka first Let the police catch us

Let's cross the bridge then Am I right?

Give the phone to Sakthi

Sakthi, here

Pa...?

It wasn't a random stranger who killed Varghese

Both your uncles closed his chapter

I know, pa

You know?!

Oho!

Then everyone knows everything

'Only I don't know anything'

Let it be

Even if they are the murderers

When the police come we won't get caught, right?

We will get caught, pa

Are you serious?

How is that possible?

They may be the killers

But you instigated them, pa

You are blaming me?

How?

No, pa

The police will say 'you' meaning all of us, pa

'Then'

Our entire family will be caught, pa

I swear I'll thrash-

Bro-in-law

Somehow 2 other murders followed

Instead of thinking how to murder the 3rd person

Let's plan the future to move from the present

Relax, uncle Cool... cool

My head is spinning, da

- I don't know if the earth is spinning - Come with us, bro

All of you have pitched in to kill Varghese, no?

Why are you yelling, di?

What crime did he do to you for you to kill him?

- Aiyo! - Ma

She has fallen in love with him, ma

Oh God!

I don't know if my head is swirling or the earth is twirling

My guardian deity, help

Your son has tortured that family too much

He has threatened to splash acid on her face

Our boy has hurled eggs at Sakthi

Akka, the father of those 2 girls is manager in Velumani group

'Velumani's job is to use mercenaries and murder'

'His signature is to chop the victim's right hand'

'Same with our Varghese, akka'

I will handle everything

Kovi, didn't Varghese threaten to splash acid on a girl's face?

Did you find out that girl's address?

Both the girls live under the same roof

They are both sisters, sir

'Parimala has even complained against Varghese'

Hey! Get the car ready

I will destroy that family to ashes

- Sir - Did you nab the accused or not?

We can reach in 10 minutes We can arrest them, sir

Amma

Amma, you'll be fine

[hysterical laughter]

'Madhu...?'

We'll be there, pa We'll catch the Govt bus

Govt bus?

Give me the phone

Do we have to be there?

- No need at all - 'Thought as much'

Buy 1/2 kilo mutton

Make mutton curry, relish and sleep peacefully

I'm boiling mad, I feel like-

All I asked was, should we come? Why are you yelling your throat hoarse?

Sudhandhiram, I'm holding my temper because my sister is lying lifeless

What can I do if your sister passed away, my dear?

Want me to go with her to keep her company?

Everyone has to die some day or the other

Okay, fine

Get on to a bus at the earliest

I can't travel by bus

Bus stand has shifted as far as Chengelpet!

I will come only by car

- Whaaat? - My concern is the safety of my girls

'I have to travel to and fro only by hiring a car'

How will you pay for the ca-

Is the funeral as early as today?

- Yes - Oh! Yes

Otherwise it will stink

What did you say?

My sister will stink, huh?

My dear sister

How can you say she will stink?

I didn't mean your sister specifically

Even she were my sister, a corpse is bound to stink!

- Stink? - Aiyo!

I was so flustered It just slipped out

I am sorry Oh God!

She says our akka will stink to high heaven

Stink, it seems

- Anna - Akka...!

- Sister! - Aunt!!

- Amma? - Huh?

Middle class family like us only in such emergency cases can take a flight

How about going by flight for our aunt's funeral?

It will be a good memory for us

Want to attend your aunt's funeral And then cremate your father too?

If your father even hears your idea he will get a heart attack

Instead of flying high go and get ready for the trip

Move a bit to the side

[Tina barking] We will come back soon, my pet

- Appa? - Not yet started?

We are ready, pa Waiting for the car

Hurry up, only after you reach

- We can start the rituals - We are coming, pa

[crows cawing]

Big relief!

No hassles from that Speed Post man today

Emperuman Reverse... move it

Why the hell is she here?

Watch me in action now

'Hey Curly mop head! Come here'

- Yes, sir - Is this Parimala's house?

My house, sir

- Returned from? - Nigeria

Come outside, da

Tell me, sir

Sorry, sir A small confusion

[mobile ringing]

You forgot to switch off the motor?

Aiyo! Yes, ma

- Not picking up, sir - Call again

Oh gawd!

Why didn't you switch it off? He will call me nonstop

- Not picking, sir - Try again

Mad with a capital M

[water overflowing]

This is their daily routine, sir

Switch on the motor and forget to switch it off

They won't spend money even on an auto, sir

But early in the morning imagine they took a cab

'Something fishy, sir'

Aiyo!

Switch off the motor, dear

Totally irresponsible, sir

Big deal! Call him

What, di?

Hey! Block his ♪

Simple solution

No doubt at all, sir

Cell switched off, sir

I am sure they have committed some crime and escaped altogether

What do you think they did, sir?

You're saying that family has the guts to kill?

Murder, huh?

What do you mean, sir?

- How many? - 3

- 3, huh? - 2

- 2, is it? - Hey! 1 murder is still a crime, da

Aiyaiyo!

- He is beyond any asylum - DAI!

Where are you off to?

Sir, my head is spinning like a top

What the hell have you both done?

- Ordered the bier - Waiting for the garland

[gritting teeth]

Lord Krishna in Guruvayur, save me

- Hey - Yes, sir

At the time of murder, where did you go in your bike returning 2 hours later?

Sir, if I drive around for 2 hours during the crime time

Does it mean I'm the murderer, sir?

You think this face looks like that of a murderer?

Then why did you stare at the CCTV like you were a thief?

Sir

Any face on CCTV footage

Bound to look sneaky

Do you want to try glaring at any CCTV?

Hey! Your face will go beyond recognition

Call him, da

[mobile ringing]

Yov! Parimala

They tell me you killed and escaped?

These cops are taking my life out in the name of inquiry drinking gruel here

Where the hell are you? Come back now, man

'The police are all around your-'

Hello? Yov! Parimala

Sir, he cut the call

Call once more

Hello?

Definitely they are the culprits, sir

- He switched off his mobile, sir - Call till he switches it on

What is the use of me calling if he hasn't switched it on?

- Just do it, man - Hey! God help me

Is the Govt blind? Given this loony uniform and jeep

Who is this?

Who is 'who'?

Your daughter?

Mrs... Uyir Ulag

73, sir

Hey! It shows up as Parimala

I can give only his

You are here to nab him, no?

"Your spoken words have no rhythm"

Driver brother, please stop in the shade somewhere

- 'Under a tree - Okay, madam'

"Chasing the gates of light ahead"

'Ashes from the lies'

'Reflecting in your eyes'

'Whereabouts to find'

'In a speed of time'

- Enough - Amma

I have a long term wish, ma

To sit under a tree and eat as a family, together

I used to think every time we traveled by bus

Look how my wish has come true because our aunt died!

Bro-in-law

UNCLE!

One shot

Wanted to know if you want a shot of strong coffee

- Go... go - Okay, uncle

Get lost!

He is telling you to scoot, go, da

The drummers need Rs 5000 as advance

Otherwise they won't beat the funeral drum

Why are you tense now? Anyway the police will nab us

Upload your tension after that Be calm and cool till then

- Come - What?

Go now

- Password is my birthday 12-12 - Okay, go

If you press 13, it will get lock-

Stop bugging me

- Talk - 'Chithappa'

Not your appa's brother I'm your appa speaking

'Where are you?'

When will you reach?

Another 2 hours, pa

We felt hungry

'So we stopped to eat'

Are you in a hotel?

Not a hotel, pa

Amma made chappathi at home We packed it to eat on the way

'We parked by the roadside and we are eating'

Give the phone to your amma

Rock it

Have you eaten?

Don't you have a conscience? Not even a tiny bit?

Are you enjoying a picnic now?

My dear husband

Just because your sister died, can all of us take a vow of starvation?

'Young girls will definitely get hungry How can we come there and eat?'

What's wrong in that?

Hey! You want 'kurma'?

Did you cook in a rush, ma?

- Why? - Not your usual yummy taste

No need to wait for us

If you need to cremate the body, do so

'Body', huh?

If you dare refer to my akka as 'body'

I will get mad as hell, Sudhandhiram

Listen, dear

How else to call a 'body' but a body?!

'Okay, forget it'

Your sister is no more

Please take a few sips and munch some snack, don't starve

Everyone will lament loudly

'Then they will vacate the place and eat till they burp, okay?'

You don't stand there stiff like a freshly starched shirt

- 'Let's finish eating' - Enjoy

Eat till you burp!

The police came to our house looking for us

Whaaat?

Eat, hurry up

Pass that chappathi

Police came looking for us, ma?

How did I wear this?

[blowing the funeral conch]

Get lost!

Yes, Molly

Why did you switch off your phone, da?

We are going to Palakkad My dad's sister passed away

Oh!

Sorry

Poppy, I was a bit busy

Continue being busy

We are hatching eggs here, no?

'How is that, da?'

If a girl says yes to her guy

Expectations rise higher

'But if boys decide on a girl as wife'

He starts taking her totally for granted

Do you agree with me?

You have no sense of time or place, Sakthi

- I'll call when I'm free - What's the tearing hurry?

Chee! Hang up now

You hang up, useless

Hey vintage music master Did you call Parimala?

Sir, that lady has blocked my ♪

'How will she pick my call?'

Gobbling fermented gruel from Selvi akka instead of working

"Parimala, where are you?"

Kovi

Tell Arnold

- To trace Parimala's ♪ - Okay, sir

Sir, that lady has sent a voice message

Let me listen

'Uyir Ulag'

'As usual Shakti forgot to switch off the motor'

'Sorry'

'I have left Tina all alone'

'Please feed her at her regular meal times'

- Who is Tina, da? - Dog

- How dare you! - I meant their pet dog, sir

Hey! You said she blocked your ♪

Wait, sir

[instructions on walkie-talkie]

She told me to feed her dog and blocked my number, sir

Keep calling till she unblocks

- Unbloc- - Do it, man

Move it

"In your words no rhythm appears Fate may forget thirst of years"

"But this name shall conquer all fears"

"Across this blood-smeared street"

Why did you park yards away?

It is crowded over there, that's why

I want you to go there only because of the crowd!

Shouldn't people notice we have come by car!

Right, ma?

I'll smash all your teeth

The frame should show the expenditure clearly, di

Go and park there

'In a speed of time'

[fake sobbing]

Sister-in-law, dear

Anni

We were not blessed enough!

What can we do? She has left us now

'Wretched fellow! How could you?'

[muttering angrily]

Damn your jinxed face!

'Just go'

I don't know what we will do without her!

You shrugged my hand away, okay

Kurma was not tasty, huh?

Akka... akka

'My dear sister-in-law'

As soon as you see me at the gate you'll welcome me with open arms

Who will welcome me like that hereafter?

Who is Madhumitha?

- Escape - Escape, huh?

- Yes - Hey! Who are you?

Uyir Ulag

Whaaat?

Uyir Ulag

Akka, police

Pass on the information I'll dice her to pieces when she returns

That's what I anticipate

British, come, da

- I gave them my house - 'Start the car'

Delayed rent

Wastage of water Not paying the electricity bill

In the end they have driven me to bang my head on my car!

I am so shattered

Okay

[clenching teeth]

Come with me, girls

Get the van, take money from Kamatchi

You got us caught you bloody sinner of a killer!

Driver, start the car

He was such a boorish fellow

He hit Kamatchi I shoved him back

Who is getting into my car?

I proposed Fate disposed

Police-

Are you drunk?

- Disappear before he appears - He is here

Vanish into thin air

What is your beloved brother saying?

He proposed something Fate disposed it seems!

Don't be a drama queen

Why did they come to Chennai? Who told them to kill Varghese?

Should I answer now?

I can't... no

Great escape!

Come, sir What brings you here again?

- Aren't you the house owner? - Yes

- You have a spare key? - No, sir

- Hey! - Yes, sir

- Go, get it - What do you plan to do?

I want to paint the interior

- Go, get it - Cock and bull!

- I have to buy the farewell ritual sari - Why wait for so long?

First tell me, did you eat?

I'm planning to buy a silk sari

Will your dead sister come alive to drape a silk sari?

Why spend for her daughter or daughter-in-law to wear?!

Buy a simple 'kandangi' or cotton sari, enough

You had no problem hiring a cab from Madras

This is more than enough for your akka's nature

All this drama for a simple silk sari

This is a custom everyone follows here

Please go ahead and do what you want

You've already decided everything and then why come and ask me?

Not like that, dear

Poor soul, she has left us What can we do for her hereafter?

That's why I want to buy a silk sari for Rs 10,000 to stun everyone

10,000?!

I'm saying stick to a budget of Rs 1200 to 1300, dear

Kamatchi... shut up!

Okay, anna

I've bought the sari already

Rs 10,500

You spent so much?

If we ask anything you'll don your Scrooge avatar!

Where did you get this much money?

I borrowed from Kumarasamy

Should you take a loan to make your sister look lovely?

Oh! How did you afford a car from Chennai to Palakkad now?

From my kitchen piggy bank!

Forget all that, dear

Take a look at the sari to drape my dear sister in

Happy draping!

Driver, start the car

You girls take a look

DAI!

I'll give you a solid piece of my mind, you moron

I am going through hell with this family and co as my tenant

'Krishnamurthy - 1,20,000'

Kutlu, where are you?

- Sir? - Tell me, Sengamalam

'How many times to call you?'

- We toil for you to line your pocket - Why are you blabbering?

Sir, do something to find my son's murderer

What is the use of crying?

I am there for you I'll handle it

My dear akka

Move over and sit

Adjust a bit, bro

- Driver, come here - Yes, madam

You are casually zip zap zooming

I'll pay you only to and fro Chennai and Palakkad

Madam, I went only because your relatives called

If they ask you to accompany them to their grave, will you go there too?

- Let him go, ma - Why buy trouble?

- 'Get down' - Why, ma?

Why are you humiliating me at my sister's funeral?

Won't your relatives travel by bike?

They are used to only car-rides!

- Keep quiet, ma - You shut up, di

'We are caught now'

Aiyo! Police

They have come in search of us

We are doomed, eh?

Shall we drink a few pegs and enjoy mutton curry?

Great idea Say that first

What is this, Kamatchi?

He is dead as a door nail

Shhhh! Come

What, Raghava?

Akka, happy Deepavali

Finished offering God on this festive occasion?

Good news for you

That boy who stalked our girls

Kamatchi and I hit him and killed him, akka

Good lord!

- You killed him? - 'Yes, akka'

What do you mean?

If my husband found out he will chop you to pieces, da

Don't te... tell this to anyone

Escape before the police nab you

- Give the phone to my bro-in-law - Sis-in-law?

How could you do this?

- Parasakthi knows - Why did you tell her?

It was Parasakthi who sketched

'The entire plan for us'

- Did she ask you to kill him? - 'Cha cha!'

'We came to knock sense into his head and warn him'

Varghese refused

'I bashed him up'

He retaliated

Immediately your brother beat him up

'He beat up your brother When he hit your brother'

I got angry, I beat Varghese He returned the blows

Your brother lost his cool

'Pushed him to the ground'

There was a stone at that specific spot

How did we know a stone will be there?

We knew he was dead only this morning

Now we are murderers

Get the hell back to Palakkad

Okay

We got a gift for our niece We'll keep it at the doorstep

Ask her to take it

If they ask anyone any question

- I'll tell them the truth - Truth be told, what is it?

- Whatever they ask I'll tell them - Go... go inside

- Go - What else to do?

[Malayalam] Stay there Follow them separately

[dog barking]

'Murder Cases'

Didn't you buy a silk sari?

Only the rich can show off like that

There are so many neo-rich families sprouting!

'Can I compete with them?'

Your brother's wife

K.R.Vijaya

Clarity head to toe!

Oh my God!

Don't humiliate me

How to behave at a funeral

How everyone will be grief stricken

Learn all these nuances and speak accordingly, di

Our relatives are all around us

My beloved sister

Whatever be the case

Isn't she your sister-in-law?

Will you keep quiet?

What would you have done if there was a funeral at your house tomorrow, di?

I would have torn them to tatters, da!

'Aunt, can I have an omelet?'

Without onion

'Go easy on the powder for your face'

Oh! Shouldn't eat egg today, no?

So... sorry

Brother

I've got a good alliance for Sakthi, shall I go ahead?

My dear niece, handsome groom

Want to see his snap?

Want to see me snap like a volcano?

No... not like that

Mobile is ringing Good omen!

- Shall I check that alliance? - The problem is

'What happened?'

'She bunked college today too We have to reach before dawn'

'She can't bunk college tomorrow Sooner we leave the better'

'Do not call me hereafter'

- Hello? - Why aren't you picking my calls?

Police are hounding my house looking for you

Police, huh?

'They want to conduct an inquiry for your entire family'

They claim you have killed

Nothing of that sort

My sister passed away, we came to attend the funeral in Palakkad

- I don't understand - 'We reach tomorrow morning'

- Can I trust you? - 'If you don't, check my WhatsApp status'

Along with my sister's obituary poster

'Show that to the police'

Hey! How can you ask him if he is the killer?

Planning to make them escape by giving them a hint?

Kovi, bring him along We will file an FIR

FIR, huh? Sir

I asked for tea with milk You gave me black tea

- I even made tea for you - 'He didn't add sugar'

'Bring him in'

Why is there a 'To Let' board hanging? Is Uyir Ulag shifting from here?

He has given us a warning to make us vacate

Let's wait and watch who shifts where!

Hey!

The police have come into our home

Police?

Don't do it, da We will get caught, da

Don't kill

Police will nab you, da

- Don't, da - STOP IT!

[scream of panic]

Wretched woman! [gnashing teeth]

[door creaking]

[thunder rumbling]

'Madhuuuu'

'Get up, Madhu'

Come to me, Madhu

[panic-stricken scream]

'Come, Madhu'

Come to me

Why did you kill me, di?

HUH?

Was it Varghese?

He came in my dream just now I chased him away

Shoo him and sleep

[shouting slogans]

Arrest him Arrest him!

Arrest the murderer

Move... move aside

Move out... go

'Unless we riot you won't react'

- Move back - Akka... don't

Akka... wait

How many days since my son was killed?

Police haven't traced my son's murderer

'Give me the match box'

- 'Give me the damn match' - HEY!

If you create a ruckus in front of our station

Will your dead son come back to life?

'I am pressurized 100 times more than you'

In another 10 days

How did he die?

'Who killed him? I'll get you the right answers'

Till then go home and sit quiet

- We can't go, sir - Our family member is dead

Do you want her to die, sir? What do you think of yourself?

HEY!

Think you are Sivaji in 'Manohara'?

Clear out

Only 10 days

You have only 10 days grace time

'If you don't find my son's murderer you'll know my true colors'

Go... clear out

- Swami - Sir?

Isn't he dealing this case carelessly?

You think so?

Remember Varghese and he got entangled in a scuffle earlier?

What, sir?

Hey!

Go... go there

Hey!

What are you up to?

Move... clear out

How dare you manhandle me in my own area!

Wait... wait

Hey Khakhi!

If I dip you in Surf you will get bleached!

What is your name?

Varghese

Belong to this area?

Okay, go

As soon as he heard my name Twirly Moustache backed off?

Thinks he's as cool as Mysskin Interrogating with coolers

Sit down

Sir, why is the investigation crawling at snail speed?

- Whom do you want me to arrest? - Parimala

How dare you hit-

Sir, he has humiliated Parimala to the core

He has uploaded photos in Insta of Madhumitha

Kissed Parimala's daughter openly in the middle of the road

Parimala would have confronted him

'What, Parimala?'

Varghese would've acted over smart So Parimala would've killed him

'After murdering, he chopped the hand just to confuse us, sir'

Any other suspects?

His brother-in-law and brother

Swag moment for us because they think we are a pair of murderers

We are 'swag-baggers'!

Sir, his daughter Parasakthi has a foul temper

One day Varghese threw an egg on her face and humiliated her

Maybe she asked her boyfriend to kill?

'Possibility'

Sengamalam's husband was killed by this chap called Peter

'Sengalamalam urged Varghese to take revenge and kill Peter'

'Peter's younger brother is this chap Jomi George'

'Did he befriend Sengamalam with a plan to kill Varghese maybe?'

Why did they kill Varghese?

'Gang revenge?'

'Humiliation?'

Or love?

This case baffles me

Won't you call me if you are sick?

I felt very weak

Why didn't you tell me? You could've texted or called me

- Give my regards to my uncle - Don't open it

How can you think I will?

[dog barking]

Yov! Parimala

Parimala

- What is it?

Uyir Ulag?

New 'jibba'?

Of course it's new! What is the entire family up to?

- We are planning to cook - Oho!

Joint effort of cooking

And killing too, huh?

Just assume we are the murderers

Won't a killer feel hungry?

- Won't he eat? - (S)he can eat of course

But eat gruel in jail!

- Not in my house - Yov!

Chee! Shut up

Uyir, we are in no way connected with this murder

You can go

So you claim!

But I opened and read this letter

You didn't kill him

One of your legal heirs is the killer

He wants 3 million, I say

How will you answer this?

30 lakhs?!

Ulag, that blackguard of a blackmailer

Keeps hiking the compound interest?

Huh?

Fine, let him hike his ransom First you vacate my house?

Don't hassle me, understand?

Or else I'll complain to the police and push all of you behind bars

- Hello - Vacate right now

It is wrong of you to collect our Speed Post

Postman giving it to you was a bigger mistake

You opened that sealed letter and read, it right?

That isn't a mistake It's a crime!

IPC Section 377 Do you know the punishment?

- What? - I can put you in jail

Will you shove me inside?

First I'll throw all of you out

Instead of giving birth to a child you've given birth to an accused

Hey, Uyir

When the police finish investigating you will realise we are innocent

Till then leave us alone, please

Oh! That's okay

Who hammered a nail on the wall?

- We did - Why?

Can I nail your forehead to hang our calendar?

Parimi, now I get it

You didn't kill him

This thieving face here

She is the culprit

With a note pad, you can hide your bungalow mouth

But you can't hide a murder

Won't this boy look at himself in a mirror?

Accusing me as thief!

How did you quote the Indian Penal Code

Punishment for opening a letter?

How do I know? It just came in a flow

That's his car He panicked and ran away

Pa, someone is sending these notes just to create confusion in our family

When my brother and your mother's brother killed him

'Suppose he has taken a video?'

You called them to Chennai, no?

Aiyayo!

Okay, sir

- Arnold? - Sir

Ask our boys to go in mufti and follow Sengamalam

Sir, what kind of cop is this Inspector Emperuman?

Sometimes hard working

Sometimes honest

No, if I need something to be done

- Grease- - Happily agree

Okay, head constable, thank you

HEY! GRAB HER

- Nab her - Stop, di

Got you, girl

You'll get it from me

Hey! Showing off with different poses?

Didn't you love my son?

What did you do to him?

Who said I loved him?

He flipped for me

As if she loved him?

Gomathi was the one who fell for him

"Love's door bell was looking for me It has rushed to my porch excitedly"

"I am getting the right vibe, dearie"

"Housing Board is buzzing altogether They say, we are made for each other"

"My friends are on a roll Teasing me, my dear girl"

Hey Nolan, he told me one day he is in love with this female

He said he loves Gomathi for days together

Will I, Nolan, lie to you?

"You will be in the moon's place Lighting my sky with your dear face"

"You've led me to such a magical space"

"Don't tempt me with your digital gaze Leading my heart in an electronic maze"

"Just nod and say 'yes' I'll be at your door step to profess"

Problem boomeranged because he uploaded her photo in Insta as 'My life'

He posted Gomathi's photo as 'My wife'

He said he was marrying Gomathi

Girl, did you love Varghese?

- No - 'Heard that?'

But Gomathi loved Varghese

"Don't act pricey, my princess Don't make me stumble helpless"

"Just say one word; 'yes' I'll be at your door step to profess"

I have addressed her as 'daughter-in-law' devotedly

We have called Gomathi 'sis-in-law' so sincerely

"Our love story is the talk of the town In every house and street, all around"

"They want to know the story With anecdotes A to Z"

"On the bike with you, riding pillion Gem of a scene I'll rewind a million"

"With a golden glow I am stunned head to toe"

"On top of the world you'll be my queen for eternity"

"I can softly hear folk songs in my ear"

"Tell me you love me, sweetie I will cherish you for infinity"

"I will tick bit by bit your love-wish list?"

"Don't tempt me with your digital gaze Leading my heart in an electronic maze"

"Just nod and say 'yes' I'll be at your door step to profess"

"Don't act pricey, my princess Don't make me stumble helpless"

"Just say one word; 'yes' I'll be at your door step to profess"

Gomathi and Varghese were loyal lovers

Bro had a 'bling' with her simply

Bling?

What are you saying, shock absorber?

That was just a side fling for fun!

- Side fling for fun? - Yes

Only Gomathi and Varghese were in a situationship

Then they broke up

'What?'

Dumping me?

You told me, di

If I said so will you ditch me?

- You'll come begging to me, da - Hey!

Why will I come behind you?

Won't I get any other girl?

Girls are in queue to date me

You'll die in my hands, da

'Get lost, you puffed-rice ball face'

Gomathi anni's father Velumani has his own band of hired goons

Your father's name?

- Parimala - What does he do?

IAS IPS trainer

Trainer, huh?

Go, does she look like a murderess?

- Shall we bring Gomathi here for you? - Wait, British

1 minute

Whether your son loved Gomathi or Godavari

I just don't care

But he treated me as a casual fling just for fun

Either to people outside

Or to my family members

Kindly don't open your mouth

Okay?

This is my prestige issue

Akka

As soon as we said she was just a 'bling'

It hit a raw nerve

[amused laughter]

[inhaling]

If you keep staring at each other?

One of you has bought that bottle here and drunk?

Father or his daughters?

Hey! I go for only hard drink, that too strong

You know I stopped even that after our children grew up?

So far, how many times I've shocked all of you?

If I was the culprit I would've owned up long ago

I swear, not me

Why are you so quiet?

I have good reason to be quiet

If I am the one drinking it, how can I talk, ma?

My friend said if I drink wine my complexion will shine

That's why I bought it to drink 2 capfuls daily in the morning

Don't think I am a drunkard

Oh! Early in the morning, huh?

Heard her, ma?

If that's a fact, all these fellows will be roaming around with a wine bottle!

Beloved husband

You will quote 2 types for everything

Tell me one type as explanation for this

I am thinking whether to ask her to stop or to continue

- Appa! - Of course you must tell her to stop

It shouldn't be stopped abruptly

She has paid Rs 1500 for it There's still Rs 700 remaining

Let her empty the bottle

What logic, pa?

Poor thing! She earned it by sweeping, mopping, cleaning the overhead tank

Oh! Shall I do the honors of pouring it for her?

Hey! Why are you taking that?

- What? - I'll snooze my sorrows with booze

What are you blabbering?

Her face is shining a little radiantly from what it was earlier

'In a nutshell'

Fantastic father Funtastic children

She has lived up to the name you chose for her, ma

Madhu = booze in Tamil

Damn you, Godavari

Chee!

Gomathi

Who the hell are you, di?

'Madhu'?

You drinking wine

Awe-some

Good riddance!

Why the hell are you hounding me when I was just your fling for fun?

Go to Gomathi instead

Madhu

I am hopping mad Scoot from here, da

Get lost Hit you!

Sir

Tell me, Kovi

I feel Inspector has dealt with this case a bit carelessly, sir

Oh! You carry on investigation on one side

- We will see - Thank you, sir

Sir, he has taken a heavy dose of drugs

First they have hit him on his head Then strangled him with a steel wire

That is why he been asphyxiated

'Only then they have chopped his hand'

'He has died due to excessive blood loss'

'Hero or villain I loved that fellow'

'I ditched him for his own well being'

How will I kill him?

How can you say so, sir?

After he died

Only I know how much I have been crying since the day he died

Sir, I am capable of killing

But I never target young boys

Is this why you called me for an inquiry?

I'll take leave?

'Start the vehicle'

Jomi George Nicholas Cage is a brand, da

Trying to destroy that brand?

- Bang on, come - Don't touch

Jomi George Nicholas Cage is a brand, da

- Stop yelling - Insulting my brand?!

Where is the Inspector?

You want the Inspector? Come

- Sir? - Hmmm

Someone is here to meet you

- Manhandling the 'brand'? - Lock him up

- Sir? - Tell me, sir

I want to meet the Inspector

What is it about? Sir has gone out

- Sub Inspector? - He is out too

They asked me to come regarding an investigation

We had gone to Palakkad to attend a funeral

I'll appreciate if you call me here for your investigation-

[phone ringing]

- Sit down, sir - Thank you

[Malayalam] 'George from Kerala'

- 'We have arrested 2 culprits' - Palakkad?

- Which station? - 'Kalpathy station, Palakkad'

Oh! Raghavan and Kamatchi Both have been arrested, huh?

'Yes, both of them'

'Okay, sir'

- Sit down, sir - 'I will finish enquiry and call'

Okay, I'll inform sir

Sir... sir, don't take them away

'Okay, thank you'

By what name or how will he know you, sir?

From Periyapalli street

Tell him I came from Parimala's house, that will do

Should I tell him you came from Parimala's house?

Or shall I say Parimala's husband came?

Pa... Pa... Parimala is my name, sir

Oh! Your name is Parimala?

- Sounds unique - I'll take leave, sir

Okay, sir

'How can you barge in? Who gave you permission?'

What are you searching for?

All I do is run a small scale catering business

What are you looking for here?

'Check behind that photo'

I'll smash your teeth Go inside and sit

'Anna, check in the kitchen'

Sir

You've cooked up quite a smokescreen. huh?

If I take you under custody you will be denied bail for sure

But tell me this

I believe you killed your son?

Hey Isai

- Bring her - Sir?

Come along

Let go of my hand, di

'She is escaping, sir'

Stop... stop running, di

Run... run

What are you doing?

I asked you to find Varghese's killer You are doing everything but that

Sir, we went to enquire who killed Varghese

The mother has killed her own son, sir

We tried to nab her but she escaped, sir

Emperuman

Tell me, sir

If you lay a finger on Sengamalam

I'll disrobe you of your uniform

Sir, Sengamalam had a lover, right?

You want me to shift the case to CBI?

Don't bring in CBI, sir

'Then do as I say'

I will do the needful

- Sir? - 'Tell me'

My name is Parimala

- I came to the station this morning - 'Yes'

- I couldn't meet the Inspector - 'Tell me'

Is he in now? Can I meet him in person?

Not now

Varghese's mother Sengamalam is also dead

Real headache

'Inspector has also gone there'

Aiyaiyo!

My dear 'akka'

[lamenting]

What is it, dear?

Varghese's mother is dead too, it seems

If you did something now is the time to confess, di

Somewhere something has gone wrong

Something wrong somewhere

'You'll keep calling 'British British' every second minute, akka'

Aiyo! Look at her, sir

Who will call us hereafter, akka?

Who will take such good care of us?

All of you get up, clear out

Akka... aiyo!

We don't know what to do from now on, sir

Kovi

She escaped from our clutches

Who could have killed her?

'Pass the salna'

Varghese, you take good care of us You pay us a hefty monthly salary

Your business is doing good too

Can't you give all of us a 'sare' in your profit?

- What did you ask? - Sare

Hit you!

You want a share?

Giving you work itself is a big deal You have the gall to ask for a share?!

'If not for us, you'll be begging like a mongrel for one square meal'

You are aspiring for a share!

Hey, I'll chop you to pieces

Look at his shaggy face

Listen, dear

Both our brothers are arrested it seems

You hid it from me

If I had told you

Would you have saved them?

- Arnold? - Sir

Did a man by name Parimala from Periyapalli street come here?

Yes, sir

He said, 'don't come home You let me know and I'll come here'

He said we shouldn't visit him?

Roasted Bengal gram and coconut to grind a chutney

My head is splitting, child Go on, tell me

Okay, pa

Appa?

Not your father Father's younger brother!

Huh?

Sorry, appa

Sorry, sir

Yov, Kovi

He was in love, he was not in love What did you do to him?

I did not kill him, sir

She is the culprit

- Did you kill him, di? - Amma!

Sir, he was in love with my sister

I went and threatened him, sir

- 'That's all, sir' - What did he do to you?

He threatened to splash acid on my face, sir

Before he could harm me in any way someone closed his chapter, sir

- That's all - Oh God!

Looks like my head will split into two

[stuttering]

Inhale deeply

[sniffing hard]

'That's the way Correct... right'

'How do you feel now?'

Please keep quiet, madam

You want me to shut up? Okay... okay, sir

That duo is Raghavan and Kamatchi

You called and asked them to come

Yes?

Or no?

Yes, sir

We are in Chennai

You call that boy Varghese

Ask him to come near that single tree in Duming Lane

- Why, uncle? - Nothing serious, dear

I want to threaten him to delete your photo in Insta

'Your uncle and I have come to spend Deepavali with you'

Why go to such lengths, uncle?

'Otherwise he will dance on top of your head, dear'

- 'Don't tell your parents' - Okay

Madhu darling

I want to give you a gift for Deepavali

Where should I meet you, darling?

Will you come to Duming Lane?

'Good'

Now tell me

Who is that Chittu?

Who is that Chittu, sir?

Sir, your daughter Sakthi and that Chittu are lovers

He has a pet name for her

Poppy Molly Do you know?

I've heard of Rajamouli Who is Poppy Molly?

He is a drug dealer

Poppy means opium

Molly means MDMA, drug

What a suitable name he has coined

Sir, he is not that kind of chap

Do you know who killed Varghese?

What are you saying, sir?

Sir, he's a dummy

I don't know in what way he's a dummy

But in this matter he is king

I don't mean in that way, sir

Then what 'matter' do you mean?

I don't mean anything Just forget it, pa

Sir, he is not that kind of boy, that's all

Then Raghavan and Kamatchi?

'He hit me'

Seeing him hit me, machan got angry and shoved Varghese real hard

His head hit a stone with a thud and he died

How did we know a stone was on that spot?

He died and lay there lifeless

You are branding us as murderers?

- Yov! Send them away - You mean we can go, sir?

- Clear out - Really, sir?

- Can we go back to Palakkad? - I said 'go'

Raghavan and Kamatchi

'Bashed up Varghese That part is true'

'But'

At the same time

Chittu comes there to kill Varghese

'Watching Raghavan and Kamatchi beat up Varghese'

'He takes a video'

Hearing some sound

'Raghavan and Kamatchi flee from that spot'

Varghese is injured badly

'Chittarasan strangles him with a steel wire'

The video he recorded

'He sent it anonymously to the police'

'And confused everyone'

Sir, he didn't even have the guts to profess his love to me directly

I called and spoke to him

He is a good person, sir

You have seen his good side, dear

To our police team he is a murderer

I thought I had given birth to 2 rowdy-girls

But those 2 rowdies have hooked on to 2 accused!

I just can't bear this

Sorry, dear

- Turn around - Turn

Why didn't you tell me?

Amma said we should choose the right time to tell you

Hey! Then I told you to tell your father

Yes, you told me But I broke up with him

That's why I didn't tell you, pa

Oh! Break up, huh?

Then what, sir?

They fell in love and fell out of love

So your investigation stops here

Tell them the rest of it

'Appa, after that we patched up'

After a break-up why did you need a patch-up?

No, pa

'We both felt miserable without each other'

So why feel terrible?

We talked it over and patched up, pa

When I went back to tell amma

Game over?

3 break-up 2 patch-up till now, pa

- 'Total 5' - Oh God!

Now is it a break-up or relationship?

Relationship, pa

But we have taken a break

AIYO!

Have you given birth to a daughter?

Are you conducting the investigation or did we come here to do so?

I swear I can't handle this, sir

Can I help myself to the balm?

Sniff hard once into your nostrils

With a deep inhale

Aiyaiyo!

You know I'm in poor health!

Sorry, sir

He won't really hit me Just for fun

He will make a fake strike, that's all

Why should Chittu kill Varghese, sir?

Greed for money of course

'Varghese was dealing with drugs worth a mere Rs 10000 to Rs 15000'

'Chittu entrusted him with drugs worth 5 million'

'Chittu told him to keep it safe'

'Can Varghese zip his lips? He sells it to another party'

'Varghese lies to Chittu claiming someone stole the stash'

'Unable to bear his friend's royal betrayal'

Chittu kills Varghese

Aiyo!

Sir, my daughters have no role to play in this drama

Be patient, sir

That Chittu

Has given your daughter Sakthi cocaine worth 25 lakhs

I can't believe whatever you are saying, sir

Even the police can't believe how dangerous a criminal your lover is

The day before he killed Varghese

'He gave a fake complaint in the station about his missing bike'

Police are looking for the murderer outside

'Varghese's killer coolly sits outside the police station'

'And he is spying on the police'

'Now do you realize'

'What a master criminal your lover Chittu is?'

Wretched scoundrel!

Is that why you were delayed in coming here?

Yes

Where have you hidden the cocaine your Chittu gave you?

Sir, I haven't stashed any cocaine here

You are just asking whatever comes to your mind?

I can't agree to your deductions

Oh! You won't accept it?

Hello, bring her to the station

I'll prove it to her using Chittu

Sir... sir

Aren't you the one who sent us the Speed Post?

- What Speed Post? - Not him

- Did you send? - Not him either

Was it you then?

Yes, it was me

What 'Speed Post'?

Nothing, sir

I had a niggling doubt on all 3 of them regarding this murder case

So I was sending them ransom notes often

Why did you do that?

From my childhood

I was very keen on joining the police force, sir

I'll breeze through the physical tests

But when it came to written tests

I was failing continuously

'After repeated attempts'

I crossed the eligibility age

Because of that police mind churning within me

Even now, I was sitting at home by myself

'I was doing my own investigation'

That's all, sir

Thank God you failed the test

Hey! What have you done with your life?

The Inspector is saying all kinds of stuff

Sorry, Molly

I'll hit you if you call me 'Poppy Molly'

You have given me cocaine worth 25 lakhs it seems

Pothead Weed junkie!

Did you really do all this?

Yes, Molly

Sorry

Sakthi

Then did you kill Varghese and Mustafa?

Why are you looking there? Answer me

Then where did you hide that stash worth 2.5 million?

In your house

'The cops came to your house when I was leaving'

'I got scared and hid it in a carton in your box'

You planned this deliberately trying to get all of us behind bars

Tell me, da

Safe-

Safety measure

'Is this the way to earn?'

'Do you need to earn in this crooked way?'

Thanks, ma

Why thank me for spitting on his face?

He didn't respond to our questioning He opened up immediately to you

He is very true to your love

Kovi, did you record everything?

- Pucca record, sir - Very good

Will you return the stash in your place?

Aiyo!

Sakthi

- Sakthi - Kovi, follow her

- Okay, sir - Sakthi

Sakthi, it is true I smuggled drugs

'But I didn't plan to kill anyone'

- Sakthi - Parasakthi

'I swear-'

'Sakthi'

Do you know Naveen?

Friend, sir

He died, he was like a brother to me

He is my son

Thank you Thank you for everything

Go home safe

- Sudhandhiram - What happened?

Everything is over

We don't have any problem hereafter

We have stacked those old cartons

Inside one of those boxes

That boy has hidden the cocaine

Keep it safe I'll be home soon

Good lord!

Didn't I clean up the whole house the day my sister was visiting us?

I disposed everything on weight basis, dear

[shocked gasp]

Soooper!

- Super, dear - How did I know?

Middle class family members

Whichever the place Whatever the time

Not even a single day

He won't let them relax heaving a sigh of relief

That God

Am I right?

Thank You!

Come

Sakthi

Varghese's murderer

It wasn't Chittu, dear

Then who, pa?

'Sakthi, it is true I smuggled drugs'

'But I did not kill anyone'

'Sakthi, I swear this is the truth'

I've tracked down your network

You have to go behind bars for the crime you committed

That's of no use to you or to me

One other option

I have to kill you right here

That serves no purpose to me or to you

I'll offer a soooper deal for you

Kill that Varghese

You take over his business and carry on, we share 50-50

You handle the business shrewdly I'll back you up and take good care of you

Or else 25 years in Puzhal jail stuck within 4 dirty walls eating gruel

Business or broth?

Why should I kill Mustafa, sir?

If you don't, we'll get caught, da

You are poking your nose unnecessarily

I'm warning you

LISTEN TO ME

Hey! The gun may go off

HEAR ME OUT, DA

Sir, I won't kill Varghese's mother

I won't let you kill her either

I got to know the real 'aroma' of her cooking

That Inspector is the main culprit for everything, Chittu

He must have killed my son

Hey kiddo

Why are you off color?

Seniors are using drugs in the college bus and torturing us, pa

- Go and complain - Don't complain

- You go in another bus - Shut up, di

Sir, seniors are using drugs in the college bus and torturing us

Ask them to meet me

Is this college or something else?

I am suspending you for 1 month

Sir... sir, please sir

If you repeat this once more

I have to dismiss you

- Don't do this to us, sir - Get out of my room

'Don't hit me, bro It hurts, don't hit'

I didn't tell, bro Please let me go

'Yes, his name is Naveen'

'He had the gall to snitch on us to the Principal'

Hit him

'You deserve to die'

Smash your face beyond recognition

Hello?

'In India, only in Tamil Nadu there is 0% drugs usage'

'Because of crimes elsewhere'

'No one can blame Tamil Nadu in toto'

'Within 24 hours of the crime'

'Tamil Nadu Police department has imprisoned the accused'

'Law and order here is-'

'Sir, I'm not standing before you as a police man in uniform'

1000s of children are sacrificed to the scourge of drug abuse

I stand here as one such father, sir

Drug trafficking has to be wiped out, sir

It has spread like cancer in our society, sir

If a 13 year old boy

Gets addicted to drugs for 3 years

He becomes mad in 4-5 years

He goes to an early grave, sir

This has to be eradicated, sir

Otherwise a whole generation will be eliminated, sir

'The present generation is excelling in studies'

'Jobs, sports'

'Lawyers fighting for justice'

'Police who will stand up against injustice'

'They are showing good progress, sir'

'In the midst of this dream is a gang peddling poison called drugs'

'If we don't eliminate this gang'

Our land will end up as a grave yard, sir

Only solution

Power held in the hands of our superiors

If you hand it over to us

We will wipe out this drug mafia, sir

We will control drug abuse, sir

Emperuman

I may have an IPS degree to my name

But a minister who has passed a mere 10th grade has more power

What do you want me to do?

'Instead of challenging the system just salute and do your assigned job'

'Sir, drug addict'

'You robbed me of authority'

'But I converted your system as my weapon'

'In our country'

'Even if one person dares to deal with drugs'

'I, Emperuman, will stand before him'

'And destroy him'

Taken everything?

I'll return your deposit minus rent for 3 months

Take rent for 10 months altogether

That is your wish

Have you committed to another murder?

Don't rejoice too much over another man's sorrow

When you have trouble knocking at your door

No one will be around to cry with you

No one will come to help when I am in trouble

Quoting old proverbs in the form of a new dialog

Go and take Sudhandhiram to Pala-

'You should have aimed at his mouth'

Go, be confident

All of you will be behind bars

subtitled by rekhs calibrated by pradeep

- Anna - Tell me

Koviyan has snitched about you to Asst Commissioner

Sir, Inspector Emperuman is behind all these murders

Seriously?

Not only that, he has planned to kill Chittu serving jail term, sir

'Chittu?'

'He has to hang from a fan today'

- Okay, anna - Hey!

You can't see such a father anywhere in the world, girls

Will anyone shift all the stuff in such a higgledy piggledy way?

Inspector

Switch on the speaker

Sakthi, I'll follow you wherever you go

Whatever dilemma you are in I will ensure you are safe

Okay, sir

Not 'sir', my dear

Dad

Okay, pa

'Inspector sir'

Parimala speaking

I am indebted to you for this protection always, sir

- But first you be safe and sound - Why?

Every truth, at all times, truth be told cannot be hidden from everyone, sir

We know every single deed you did

What do you know?

[triumphant laughter]

I will share those details with you in Part II, sir

[know-it-all laughter]

'Tearing us apart'

"Who are you to block the way? Step inside and see the play!"

"A deadly game where lives are lost Facing the gun, you pay the cost"
