'Battle'

How did your bag go there?

They began razing down our house.

And that's how my bag got caught there.

My dad bought it in my favorite color, red, too!

Some day I'll raze you down using your bulldozer.

Get lost from here!

- Are you happy? - Yeah.

What's your name, Uncle?

- I'm Rapper Mani. - What's that?

He babbles nonsense.

Let's go, soon!

The next important person we're going to learn about is,

Savitribai Phule.

She's India's first woman teacher.

Every doctor, engineer,

and even a teacher like me

are duly indebted to one person.

That is, Savitribai Phule.

People pelted her with stones,

threw dung on her, and beat her with slippers.

Even so, her strong will never faltered.

Can we all give Savitribai Phule a round of applause?

Dude, try winning this battle, please.

Got it?

You just have to follow my word.

Greetings, bro!

[in unison] MC! MC! MC! MC!

It's been a privilege meeting all you amazing rappers from Tamil Nadu!

Sol Isai Por 2025

Welcomes you all!

Tonight's semifinal is between…

Spinster-D and The Nemesys!

And the toss goes to Spinster-D!

Let's give a huge round of applause!

[cheers continue]

"Tune in when I spit my bars My lyrics shine like shooting stars"

"To every rival in my lane I'm that constant, pounding pain"

"All these newbies jumped in the race"

"I'm the teacher Know your place"

"I'll grab the mic and make you stare If you dare, then meet me there"

"Breath held tight, I'm in the zone Dropping bars, I own the throne"

"I'm on my way to the very top Kids move back, this won't stop"

"Step back, keep it low When I rap, feel the flow"

"Anytime, I can ignite I'm that weapon built to strike"

That was a splendid performance by Spinster-D!

Let's tune in to hear what The Nemesys' got for us!

"They said I'm just a baby still"

"But I move with a grown- up will"

"Even a sparrow can chase the sky"

"Nothing's too big if you really try!"

"I broke it down, made it clear"

"Last battle we had Now he's not here"

"Saw, six feet down underground In shame he's buried, bound"

"But truth is this, the spot I'm in"

"Was paved by every loss I've been in"

"In the game of life We're just a puppet, bro"

"Don't you ever act Like you're the big a-"

"I'mma put you down With my lyrical bullets"

"Don't mess with me"

"As you said I'm just a kid with a rap gun"

[in unison] Nemesys! Nemesys! Nemesys!

Audience, seems like you have a winner in mind!

The winner is…

undoubtedly, the unremarkable Nemesys!

And, audience…

Now…

The final battle for the title is

Mani vs Nemesys!

Mani won the toss.

Great, man!

That's the way you do it!

You think you're so haughty to battle it out with Nemesys himself?

Leave before you wet your pants.

"Beat goes fast, your fear's on show"

"Why you scared? Just read the sign You're in a place that isn't mine"

"I fire up like a rocket on track"

"Got the whole world yelling back"

"All the jokes they threw my way"

"Now they'll turn around and run-away"

"Been too long since we fought, bro Want to lock in, go blow for blow?"

"Kept it silent, now I erupt Why's this violence stirring me up?"

"Come on in if you're ready to play Don't cry when I blow your way"

"I launch like a rocket to the top Got the whole world screaming nonstop"

"Every joke they threw at me Will turn and run eventually"

"Watch me flip it, watch me roar I'll break it down and leave it torn"

"Call me Ravana, ten heads high On the mic now, I testify"

"Cook your bars till you say “I'm done” Game over, I already won"

"On this stage, I seal your fate, Drop you down, checkmate"

[all] Mani! You were great! Good job, Mani!

[in unison] Mani! Mani! Mani!

- Nemesys? Oh, my God! - Yes!

Mani!

What a twist!

Mani crushes the defending champion, Nemesys.

Go, Rapper Mani!

"Beat goes fast, your fear's on show Everyone here already knows"

Lalitha, my darling! What are you up to?

- What're you doing? - My cheeks hurt! Stop pulling them!

"Lalitha! Our dear Lalitha!"

What's up, Dad? What are you watching?

- Scrolling on your phone, huh? - Go away.

Alright, alright.

- Wait for your turn. - Ow, ow! It hurts!

Mom, are you okay?

You're always in some pain.

It hurts like crazy, my boy.

- Ow! Ow! Stop, it hurts! - Ugh, can you stay calm?

You've told not to swing your feet.

- Even the doctors told you. - Hey!

I'd rather deal with the pain than hear you talk.

Can you slow down a bit instead of jabbering?

The doctor warned you

not to swing your feet down.

As if he's fending for our family.

You'll never listen, will you?

You could at least take the free supplements given by the Government!

- Rest in peace, boy. - What was that?

You won't get me treated at a private hospital, huh?

What's the need to visit one?

They treat just the same at the Government Hospital.

People from all over flock to get treated there!

Move!

So, that's how it's going to be?!

When our neighbour fell sick, her son treated her at Lotus Hospital.

You don't have to do it but can't you atleast say it for my sake?

Get lost!

Why do you keep teasing her?

I too have needs, you know?

Did I inform you?

- Why did you do that, Dad? - What?

You just failed your Quarterly exams.

If this continues, you won't be prepared for next year's boards.

Did you even look at what I was listening to?

- I was studying. - Don't lie to me!

Study from your books. Not from the phone!

You think you can cheat me. But you're cheating yourself!

You have no idea how hard I worked to admit you in that school.

Yet, you couldn't care less!

If you fail your next term exams, you'll see the other side of me!

I'll thrash you.

Shut up, you.

Don't you dare threaten her!

You mind your business. She'll study.

Try driving the auto for a day

and you'll know how hard it is.

Don't lecture me.

- Hey. - Ma'am?

It's almost time for class. Get in.

Sure, Ma'am.

Ma'am? What happened?

I can't do it anymore, Mathi.

I can't cover more classes!

We come in by 8.30 a.m and leave only by 8.30 p.m.

My husband now suspects me, too!

How merciless is he!

Have you tried explaining him how it is?

I did. He wants me to resign immediately.

I'm so close

to writing a note blaming the school for my death!

Oh, Ma'am… Please don't lose hope.

[phone rings]

Hi, Darling.

- Why did you call so early? - Krishna…

Some of our teachers came to meet me.

Madam, we've decided to resign.

May I know why?

Ma'am, I hope you won't take this personally,

but we feel we can tell this only to you.

You only pay attention to the 10th and 12th, not the other classes.

We work for almost 12 hours.

And a few resigned due to the surmounting pressure.

You expect us to handle every class instead of hiring new staff.

We're tired.

Give us our certificates and we'll leave.

What do you think of yourselves?

Check if any other school offers high salaries like we do.

They'll give you meager salaries with more work pressure!

That doesn't give you the pass to treat us this way.

I see you've all become brazen enough

to stand up against me.

I'll discuss with the Chairman and get back.

Get out.

Now!

I don't think I can hold them off any longer.

A few want to resign immediately.

- Let them go. - Are you serious?

I'm serious!

"Come on in if you're ready to play Don't cry when I blow your way"

"I launch like a rocket to the top Got the whole world screaming nonstop"

Why do you keep watching the same thing?

There's something special about this boy.

We can use him to our advantage.

"Call me Ravana, ten heads high On the mic now, I testify"

Oh, my, who's she?!

She's stunning!

She's most definitely not from around here.

What's wrong with our neighbourhood girls?

We have the best looking girls, actually!

But…

She's definitely not from our neighbourhood.

- What? - I swear.

I've been noticing, too.

She looks at me every time she walks past me.

I mustered up some courage and followed her too.

She knew I was right behind and bolted!

I searched everywhere…

but in vain.

It pissed me off, actually.

Alright, I'm leaving.

I'm telling you something important

and you're walking away?

Hey, you're all grown up.

You won't need me anymore.

- Why would you say that? - What else?

- Keep walking. Don't look at them. - Wait, let me confirm.

What does he want to confirm?

'I lost a pancake.'

Didn't I tell you my neighbourhood boys are smart?

Get in.

What's wrong?

I…

I've seen her somewhere.

Just can't remember from where.

It was a glance… as quick as lightning, you know?

And that got me thinking.

Now you got a good look, right?

Oh, yeah!

You've got brains!

Hey, hi.

From afar…

you looked like an angel!

Do I look like a devil now?

No, no! That's not what I meant!

Have you heard the phrase 'out-of-this-world beauty'?

Well, that's what I was trying to convey.

- Out of this world as in? - I mean…

- out of this world. - What?

I mean…

What I mean is…

Well, how do I put it…

Fine.

Have you ever met an angel before?

Yeah.

"On this stage, I seal your fate, Drop you down, checkmate"

I like the way you write and your singing.

- Amazing! - Thank you, sir.

But, our company has moved on from this genre.

Oh.

We're diverse. We expect innovation.

But, sir, this is what's working for new rappers right now.

Yes, I agree.

This is what is becoming huge these days.

Why don't we take an unconventional route.

What do you mean?

You remember how reputed lyricists rose to fame?

They…

They poured everything into writing double-meaning songs about women.

And the result? Massive fame and projects!

It should click with couples and the youth should enjoy.

I want to hear it play at every nook and corner.

Come up with a song like that and we'll have a deal.

How did the meeting go? Were they impressed?

What's wrong? Did you mess it up?

Dude, they expect double meaning songs!

God, who are they?

They've got futuristic thinking, man!

Most hit songs today are double-meaning ones.

- Ugh. - What?

I'm sure they must've been bored by what you sang to them.

Man, I'm not that experienced like you!

Come again?

You think I've a girl?

Just because I look like an idiot doesn't mean I am one.

Don't make matters worse for me.

Wait!

Hey.

Hold on a second.

I want to talk to you.

What's there to talk about?

She checks me out and then acts innocent.

Hello!

We're kind of a thing now, right?

So let's talk.

"A thing?" Who told you that?

They did.

Who's "they?"

Your eyes,

your outfit,

your cheeks,

your lips.

Hey!

See? Even your finger says so.

Oh my!

The way you blush!

All this says we're in love.

If they say otherwise, I'll walk away.

- Hey. - Huh?

So, how long did you work on that?

Why, wasn't it good?

It was okay. Not bad.

Didn't like it, huh? I'll try someone else.

- Hi there, your name? - Hey!

Okay, it was good.

Then I deserve a hug!

"With a battle-lit gaze, You pull me close"

"Resting on your chest, I quietly weave our love"

"When I paint, The colors come alive"

"As a woman in love, Our story starts to thrive"

"In my angel's blooming eyes"

"I find my answers without a word"

"A tender language, Softly blooming bright"

"She's how my heart speaks!"

"You melt my life, Atom by atom"

"You're the fire in me!"

"A tender language, Softly blooming bright"

"He's how my heart speaks!"

"You melt my life, Atom by atom"

"You're the fire in me!"

Remember helping that girl with her bag?

That's when I recorded this.

No way! That was you?!

This was you with your mom at the ice cream parlour.

Hey, how'd you even get these?

- How could I possibly miss you? - You totally played me!

He brings a girl home this late,

and you're just calmly making coffee.

I'm freaking out here.

Who asked you to?

He's just brought home the girl he loves.

That's all.

If you're okay with it, then I'm okay with it too.

Then why the overacting?

How did you even say yes to him?

We can never understand a word he says.

Just wait, he'll be here in a second asking for something.

See? Here he comes.

Mom, how many times have I told you, not to wash colors with the rest?

Why won't you listen?

See? Did you catch any of that?

Yeah.

- You understood? - Yeah.

What did you understand?

Mom, how many times have I told you…

not to wash colors with the rest?

Why won't you listen?

"A sweet little bird resting in our nest"

"It's wings filling our home with love"

"Like a soft blue drizzle of rain"

"Even after saying so much, My heart still overflows"

"Your lips are the poetry I long to read endlessly"

"I'm the verse You'll return to everyday"

"In my blooming eyes"

"You'll find your answers without a word"

"A tender language, Softly blooming bright"

"She's how my heart speaks!"

"You melt my life, Atom by atom"

"You're the fire in me!"

"A tender language, Softly blooming bright"

"He's how my heart speaks!"

"You melt my life, Atom by atom"

"You're the fire in me!"

- Bro. - What?

What do we have to do to make it big in life?

Hey.

Come with me. I'll make your life colorful.

Why, are you planning to dunk us in paint?

Wait, who are you? What do you want?

- I'm a music producer. - Okay.

I saw you performing at the Chennai Rap Battle the other day.

I could see you've got serious talent.

I want you on my team.

Here's my card.

I hope to see you soon.

Bro,

you said you wanted to make it big.

Your big break is here.

Just kill it!

Hello, sir.

Welcome, Mani. Come in.

My, my!

Hey, come on in.

- This is Srivatsan. - Hi.

- And this is Josh. - Hi.

Rapper Mani.

No, I don't smoke.

You don't smoke?

- Really? - Hey,

don't scare him off. Cut it out.

I'm Shruthi, Guru's sister.

Rapper Mani.

I heard your track. Great job!

Oh, thanks.

Thanks.

Okay.

- Shall we start? - What's the rush?

Let him relax first.

He'll sing later.

Shruthi's right.

Take your own time.

Just give me five minutes.

Hey, no problem.

"Listen up, I got a story, Greetings to the homies"

"Street culture rap is royalty, Watch us take the trophy"

"Street-bred kid, Silencing the talkers"

"Street culture's how I'm hitting all the markers"

"Slum kid throws the flame, Sets the culture on the game"

"Built from the struggle, I'm finally finding a home"

"Place might be tiny, But the depth is unknown"

"Serving up a feast, A real rap treat from the streets"

You nailed it!

- That was amazing. - That was sick, bro!

Thanks, man.

Thank you, sir.

Hey, give me a second.

Why did you just walk out?

Who even is this guy, Guru?

Hey, keep it down.

He might hear you.

Let him hear me!

I could tell from his attitude,

he wouldn't fit into our culture.

Hey, Sri, watch your mouth.

Just send him off.

Mani!

Mani!

- Hey, stop! - Get your hands off me.

- Hey, listen to me. - I said let me go!

Mani, listen!

I'm telling this for your own good.

- Just come back inside. - Good?

What good?

How can he talk about my culture?!

What's wrong with our culture? It's way better than yours.

To hell with your culture!

- Mani, come inside. - I won't.

Alright, don't go anywhere. Wait right here.

I'll be back.

Just stay here.

Hey.

Hey, what's wrong?

You didn't even call.

Are you okay?

Not feeling well?

I'm fine.

Did you eat?

- No. - Should I get you something to eat?

No.

Then what's wrong?

Nothing… forget it.

How would I know if you don't tell me?

I don't even know how to say it.

- It's just so painful. - Why?

I...

I got an opportunity to record for a music album.

They want me there tomorrow.

Don't talk to me!

How can I casually drop something this big?

I had to build the suspense.

- Get lost. - It's huge, right?

What's wrong?

Alright…

you're the reason behind this.

Not me. It's your talent.

But listen,

make sure you make the most of this.

I will, ma'am. I'll make the most of it.

But you have to be really careful from now on.

Oh, I can be careful,

but there's a way to do that.

So… where's Sandhya?

She's inside.

Inside?

Hey!

Get lost!

I need that energy to give my best on the mic.

Just go!

Bread omelet's ready.

"Clay drums and battered pots Are the rhythms of our life"

"Open shirt wide, Cover up the cracks inside"

"Hustling just to fill the gut From sunrise to sunset"

"Smoky stoves and tattered mats Yet no better life we've met"

"Greedy little snakes With their slick handshakes"

"Big hearts beating under tin roofs In tight space"

"Dreams going massive Don't judge the place we come from"

"The kid's got a crowd now"

"Don't get crushed When all the drums thump"

"My beat wakes the world, Your heart goes crazy"

"I build my name with my songs, Sparks fly as I walk on"

"I rep my sound loud and proud, My pen's on fire when I write"

"Through the stories in my songs, A revolution is born"

"Clay drums and battered pots Are the rhythms of our life"

"Open shirt wide, Cover up the cracks inside"

"Hustling just to fill the gut, From sunrise to sunset"

"Smoky stoves and tattered mats Yet no better life we've met"

- Hi. - Hi, brother.

Gnana Kumar bro, how have you been?

I'm good. How are you guys doing?

[all] We're doing great.

Guru, are you happy?

I'm speechless.

I'm truly grateful for this opportunity.

It's nothing.

Your dreams are finally coming true,

how could I not help?

I just did what I could.

I'm in that industry too.

I played them your album, they said it's fresh.

They wanted the contract signed right away.

Your hard work has paid off.

Don't worry.

If this had happened sooner,

maybe you wouldn't have lost your family.

Where did you find this Mani guy?

'Honestly, he's the reason you got this chance.'

He's no ordinary talent, he's your golden goose.

Take good care of him.

The event organizer is a big name in London,

so this will definitely work out.

Just plan it properly. I'll hang up now.

Get to London and we'll catch up in person.

- Bye. - Bye!

- Bye. - Bye.

I knew from the day I met you that this would happen for you.

Not just for me, for us.

Hey, I wanted to ask, why is your WhatsApp DP black?

Are you okay?

That's not because I'm upset, I'm angry.

Anger? Why?

Forget it. You're happy, I don't want to spoil it.

You are my happiness.

You better tell me or I'm leaving.

- Why are you so short-tempered? - Then tell me.

- What is this? - Just a headache pill.

It helps you relax.

Half of this is enough, take it now.

You'll get caught if you take it home.

- It's safe, right? - Yeah, don't worry.

Take it. Your pressure will drop, and you'll feel like you're floating.

You'll feel light.

Even if the AHM yells at you, you won't feel a thing.

- Got it? - Teacher's here!

Hey!

What is this? I'm asking you, what is this?

It's just migraine medicine, ma'am.

Since when do migraine meds make you feel like you're floating?

Are you going to tell me the truth, or should I take you to the AHM?

No, ma'am… it really is migraine medicine.

Come with me.

Let's go to the AHM and find out what it really is.

Please, ma'am, don't.

I'll tell you the truth.

We don't have a class teacher,

so I'm not able to follow any subject.

Since we're moving to tenth grade next year,

Vimala Teacher is making us study both the 9th and 10th grade portions.

If I tell her it's hard,

she says there's no other choice, I have to study.

My dad stopped talking to me when I failed.

I tried studying on my own just to pass the half-yearly exams

by learning from YouTube.

'But my dad keeps going on about…'

'how I'll embarrass him in front of our relatives.'

My dad means everything to me.

The thought of embarrassing him in front of our relatives

really scared me.

This helps calm my anxiety.

Okay… but where did you get this?

I met someone online from another school.

That's how I got it.

Please, ma'am.

'I thought understaffing was the teachers' problem,'

'but Madhumitha showed me it's the kids who pay the price.'

Parents pay a fortune for private schools

expecting a top-tier education,

but we're stuck in a system that's completely hollow.

If they're pocketing lakhs in fees,

why aren't they hiring teachers?

They shouldn't get away with it.

Hey, Mani, I've got an idea!

You still have time before you leave for London, right?

Yeah, I do.

Why don't you make an album about this issue?

An album?

When you post a photo, it reaches millions, right?

So if you do an album on this, it'll create awareness.

What do you think?

- Hey, that's a great idea! - Yes!

How did I not think of it?

We have to do this for students like Madhumitha.

- I'll sing. - Are you serious?

Hey, you think I wouldn't do this for my girlfriend?

Love you.

Yeah, but one thing,

- you have to write the song. - Oh, God!

I can't write it, no way.

Hey, I know no one can write this better than you.

You do it, Madhi. We'll figure it out.

Come on.

I don't think I should.

You have to.

Write it. Bye.

Hey.

You look really happy!

Anything special?

Mathi must've kissed him.

No, it's something else.

Brother…

I've decided to make an album,

about private schools,

and how they exploit people.

How does it sound?

What do you think?

- Awesome. - Damn it!

Are you serious right now?

- Yeah, I am. - You're such an idiot.

You think this is a game?

Did Mathi tell you to do this?

Guru.

Say anything about me, but leave her out of it.

What if I do?

What will you do about it?

Tell me.

- There'll be consequences. - What consequences?

- Guru, let him go. - Go on, speak.

Are you crazy?

- Who's crazy, me or him? - Let him go.

- Can't you hear me? - Local guys like him…

lack business sense.

What are you even doing?

Guru, let him go.

We should've just made him sing,

- and sent him away. - Hey, Sri!

We're planning a big event.

We're heading to London!

And now, he comes up with something this lame.

How many times have I told you not to belittle his roots?

He's the one who got us this opportunity.

Get him some water.

- Here. - Take a sip.

Come on.

Here.

Hold this.

Your career's taking off.

Do you realize what'll happen

if you go against private schools with an album?

It's different here.

You know who runs these private schools?

Ministers and politicians.

If you release that album, they won't spare you.

They'll destroy you.

Things are going well. This is your time to thrive.

You just released an album.

It climbed the charts.

You've got a car, a house, and your parents are happy.

Why risk it now?

If that's what you want, go ahead.

I'm not stopping you.

But close your contract with my company first.

I was just kidding about the contract.

You stay loyal to me…

I'll stay loyal to you.

What a surprise! You're here?

Ma'am, are you planning to resign?

You're pretty slick. You know everything about me.

- Do you want me to stay or leave? - Please stay.

I wanted to resign, but not anymore.

- Happy now? - Yeah.

- Anything else? - No.

Ma'am, can you be our class teacher?

Sure.

But right now, focus on your exams and study well.

- Okay, ma'am. - Let me know if you have any doubts.

Mani, I've written the lyrics.

I wanted to show them to you.

'Call me when you hear this.'

"My dear buddy, you look lost, Lost in thought!"

"Your best buddies are here To lift you up!"

"Throw your worries away, Don't let them stay"

"You're the star that Lights up your way"

"Be a firecracker, Bold and loud"

"Make your song Echo through the crowd"

"Let the whole town Groove to your rap"

"Let the city fall into your musical trap"

"Oh dear friend, Our bond won't end"

"Your song will be The next big trend"

"My sweet buddy, You're a brand now"

"Seeing your track record, They'll wonder how"

"Enjoy, buddy!"

Bro…

Go ahead, sing it your way.

"You chasing that vibe, Gopi?"

"You chasing that vibe, Gopi?"

"She walks in high heels, My heart skips fast"

"Try to advise, You'll just sound whack"

"One look at her WhatsApp DP Boom, my BP, shoots up like that!"

"Just being with her? Yeah, that's the happy part"

"Hey! In the name of love, They're chasing lust"

"Hearts gather rust, Love's just a mist"

"Don't worry, be happy Wait for the twist"

"You chasing that vibe, Gopi?"

"You chasing that vibe, Gopi?"

"Gopi"

"Gopi"

"They dress up love in glamor and show, Why spread rumors wherever you go?"

"Crying over breakups like it's comedy, Say it out loud, that's a boomer move"

"We're the next-gen boys, alright Not chasing girls, not wasting our lives"

"Not the guys who stalk all night, On socials, going round in circles"

"Not the guys who stalk all night, On socials, going round in circles"

"Style and pride, that's us, The boys!"

"You laugh so bright, My dear Kannamma!"

"You shine and glow Like a dream, my love"

"You move so quick, So full of life"

"You glow so soft, Like golden light"

"Queen of words, With magic in your eyes"

"A thief by day, A desire by night"

"A little fiery, Yet full of love"

"A master of charm, Of grace, of disguise"

"In art, in forms, in every frame"

"I've seen her beauty shine the same"

"O wonder, O beauty beyond compare"

"Blushing smile like a blooming flare"

"My everything, Your blue eyes see deep into my heart"

"You're the dew of my mornings, And the snowflake of my night!"

An absolute blast!

- Do you like it? - Yeah.

Let's go.

Read more stories like this. Things will become clear.

Thank you, ma'am.

Hey, Mathi!

Come in.

Come in, I said!

I'm here to see Mani.

Mani…

Mani and Shruthi just went out shopping.

We're heading to London at the end of the month.

So we're in a rush.

Do one thing.

Call Mani, find out where he is, and meet him there.

I've been calling Mani.

He hasn't answered in two days.

So I came to meet him.

Just two days?

After the London trip,

he won't have any time.

What will you do then?

Try to understand and leave.

Okay.

If Mani gets back, tell him I came by.

Sure.

[phone rings]

- Hello. - 'Mathi, have you seen the news?'

No, ma'am. What happened?

Why are you crying?

'My student Madhumitha took her own life after failing her exam.'

- 'I'm scared.' - Mathi…

- What happened? - 'Can you come soon?'

What is it, ma'am? Why are you crying?

My dad means everything to me.

The thought of embarrassing him in front of our relatives…

really scared me.

'Madhumitha, a student of Gen private school,'

'took her own life after failing her exams'

'and being reprimanded by her parents.'

'The police have begun an investigation.'

'This is Priyanka, reporting for Ozone TV News.'

'Mani…'

'Mani…'

'Mani…'

- 'Mani…' - 'Mani Brother?'

'Why won't you make a song for us?'

'Stop!'

'Don't run! How long will you keep running?'

'And how far will you go?'

'Don't trust him, Mani.'

'Come back to me.'

'Don't you hear what I'm saying?'

'Where are you going? Come back to me!'

Mani!

'Mani…'

'Listen to me.'

'She's trying to mislead you.'

'Money is everything in life.'

'I want to make you a king.'

'Please…'

'I'll give you the world.'

MATHI!

Ma'am, let's stop crying and get justice for Madhumitha.

In fear of losing our jobs to others,

we neglected our duties.

We kept thinking we could easily get jobs at another school.

But wherever we go, we're treated the same.

How many more Madhumithas will it take for us to learn?

This should change.

And, I've got a plan.

Mathi, just tell us what to do. We're here for you!

Didn't you go see your mom?

Why are you here?

- Ugh! - Huh?

I'm asking you!

Are you high?

Hey!

What happened?

Mani!

- What's wrong? - Shruthi…

- Shruthi! - Tell me, man.

Hey, what are you doing?

Mani!

- Shruthi! - Mani, hold on.

You're doing all this because…

you still love Mathi!

Will you listen to me?

Just go talk to Mathi once.

Make her understand.

Don't blame yourself for not helping her.

Guru might've explained his side.

But your conscience is killing you.

What are you going to do about it?

Mathi isn't responding to my calls.

I've been trying to meet her for the past two days.

You did try. But did you succeed?

- No. - Why?

Madhumitha.

Her death.

It took my courage away.

Mani, you're in a bad state now.

Go talk to Mathi.

Listen to me.

Or there'll be severe consequences.

Oh no! Sorry.

Sorry, Shruthi.

Buddy!

You have a car, so why ask for a bike?

To show her I'm still the same.

What a plan!

Here, eat this on your way.

What is this for?

You smell off, better fix that before you make up.

Might be of use.

- Love you, mate! - Not the right place to say it!

- Careful! - Bye!

Lunatic!

- Hmm? - Mathi…

I want to talk to you.

Please, give me a few minutes.

What I did was wrong.

I'm not justifying it.

But I had no choice.

Mathi…

Listen to me, I say.

I'm not myself without you.

I'm dying everyday!

Mathi, I'm talking to you!

Sorry, it wasn't deliberate.

I just wanted to talk to you.

Where does it hurt? Here?

Why are you in a hurry?

Does it hurt a lot?

Who are you?! Huh?

How are we related?

Don't you dare touch me again!

If you do, I'll raise hell!

I wish I never meet another selfish jerk like you again.

Yeah, go away!

You're calling me selfish, huh?

If I were a selfish jerk, why would I be here?

There, Guru is threatening me with an agreement.

And here, you are shooing me away!

Where do I even go?

Damn it! Just go away!

Stop your drama!

I'm disgusted!

You've got plenty of reasons to avoid me.

What reasons are they?

Gosh!

How could you do this to me?

- Oh no. - Huh?!

Remember what we were?

Hey, it's not…

what it looks like. It was a friendly thing.

It's nothing.

Guess you need a new woman for every song.

Isn't that why you used me as well?

Don't talk like that!

I never used you!

I stepped back, thinking about my future.

But…

Madhumitha's death haunts me every day.

My conscience is killing me.

Forgive me, Mathi.

Sorry, it wasn't intentional.

I can never leave you.

I'm sorry.

Forgive me, Mathi.

Sorry, dear!

[phone rings]

- Hello? - Hello.

- Yes, ma'am. - Mathi, did you go home?

No, ma'am. I just stepped out of the school.

Okay. Come to my office.

Uh…

Ma'am, can I meet you tomorrow?

Mathi, it's an important work.

Come now.

Okay, ma'am. I'll be there.

Stay right here.

I'll deal with you when I'm back.

Mathi…

Whoo!

Mathi?

Mathi?

Mathi.

Mathi!

Mathi?!

Mathi?!

Mathi?!

- Where is Mathi? - Hey, who are you?

Mathi!

Mathi!

Mathi!

Mathi!

Where is she?

Tell me, where is Mathi?

Mani!

Mani!

Mani!

Mathi!

It hurts!

Here, have some water. We'll head to the hospital soon.

Look.

I'm here for you. It'll be alright.

Here.

It's okay. I've got you!

Are you not upset with me?

I'm the reason you're caught in this.

Mathi…

I wouldn't have cared if they killed me.

That monster will kill you!

We're going to Bangalore.

I'd have killed him right there.

But I wanted you safe first, so I let him go.

I'll make him pay for what he did to you!

Okay, let's go.

Come on.

Mani…

You better talk now.

Or I'll forget I even have a son and walk away.

You're my son.

I can't just ignore it when people call you mute.

Son.

You are ten, buddy.

I feel sorry for your mom.

She thinks about you and cries every day.

I can't bear it, buddy.

The doctors we took you to say that you are fine.

They say that you can talk.

I'm begging you, buddy.

Talk.

Please.

Speak to me, man.

Try talking!

Come on.

Just talk, man.

Talk, buddy! Talk!

TALK!

DAD!

You! Get inside.

It's all because of you.

I warned told that fool.

I warned him to stay away from love and all this nonsense.

He never listened.

Now look where he's landed.

We don't even know if he'll walk.

I am answerable to those who signed the agreement.

If the concert doesn't happen next month,

- Guru! Let her go! - I'll kill you.

You'll have to kill me first.

I'm also a reason for Mani's current state.

I sent Mani to meet Mathi.

Why the hell did you do that?

Only then will she know that you've trapped him.

Feel like strangling me, huh?

I'm ashamed to even call you my sister.

What the hell is this love?

Go ask this to your wife who left you.

She'll make you understand.

Damn it!

Don't cry, Mathi.

Stay strong for his sake.

- Forgive me, Shruthi. - It's alright.

Everything will be just fine, yeah?

Mani…

Go on, say it your way

and I'll try to make sense of it.

No salt in the food.

Did you say "no salt in the food?"

Oh my!

Mom?

Some water, please.

We're leaving to London.

I know you've been waiting to go.

It's finally here!

You're allowed to sit and sing.

So you don't have to strain yourself.

I'll handle the rest.

Excited?

That's okay, I'll stand and sing.

Don't mess around, Mani.

I wasn't.

I'm serious.

What are you doing?!

Going to stand, of course.

- Mani? - Mani!

Hey…

Don't risk it.

I'm serious, Mani.

- Mani… - Listen to me.

Remember, you've got your concert.

- Hey… - Mani…

Mani!

Please don't risk it.

Listen to me, boy.

Mani…

Mani… Hey…

Hey…

Mani's standing…

- Hey! - We've got work to do.

Remember what you told me?

The world should speak of our actions.

That's why you're the best!

Hey…

You did it!

Why did you call for me?

You ignored all my calls.

But one call about her, and you came running?

Seems like you love her too much.

- What do you want? - Mani…

Punks like you

have no idea of the current market value.

Do you know how much…

...was education's market value in 2000?

It was 20 lakh crores.

In 2010, it was 40 lakh crores.

In 2022, it soared to one trillion.

And in 2030 as per statistics,

it amounts to two trillion!

Now you understand the demand?

Even thinking about it

will make you high.

And you think I'd let a sleazeball ruin it all for me?

Was that a threat?

Nah.

I want you to mind your business.

If you don't, you won't exist.

Let's not keep quiet any longer, man.

Don't worry, we'll finish him off in 10 days.

He'll be confused.

Don't let him think…

…and attack from all directions.

Get down and deal with them!

Step out and fight me!

Come with me, Sir! Let's escape from them!

He'll have no other go…

but to get down from his car.

Now, you throw a petrol filled balloon at him.

- He'll feel helpless. - Hey, don't! Spare me!

I said, don't! Don't come close!

Light him up!

- That's the plan. - Stop!

Who told you this?!

You didn't answer me but you want me to answer you?!

Don't you ever come to me.

Mathi?

Listen!

Wait.

Mathi, I was talking to you.

You think I'm an idiot?

Tell me who told you!

All you want to do is kill that guy, right?

Go on, do it.

You'll kill him and happily go sit in the prison.

But nothing will change here.

Did you even think about us?

Mani…

- Go, do it. - Mathi…

- Go on. - Don't.

Go kill him.

You!

Why do you keep trying to rile me up?

Drop the act, Mathi.

Acting all haughty like you know it all.

Get out of my face.

I know who would've told you.

I'll deal with this my way! Get lost.

Fine, do it.

You forgot that you're just a rapper.

That chairman's a very influential person.

You'll turn to ashes even if you try going near him.

Didn't you see what he did?

Do whatever you want!

- Look who's here! - Hello, boy! We were waiting for you!

- Hey… - Why did you do this, huh? Why?!

- How could you do this to me? - What do you mean?

Hang on a minute, Mani.

How… How could you tell her about it?!

Why… Why…

Why would you tell her about our plan in detail?!

I swear, I-- I'll kill if you utter a word!

God, I'm so furious, I could…

You… You…

You don't understand how painful it is!

Hear me out, man…

He hurt Mathi. You know that.

Would you do the same if it was your girl?

You just had to go ruin it!

Dude…

I'm bothered about your life like you are about her!

If you want him dead, I'll gladly do the honor!

It takes ages for people like us to make it big.

You must see how inspired the kids at our neighbourhood are.

They look up to you with such admiration!

Please, don't let your hard work go in vain.

Please, man.

You forgot that you're just a rapper.

Hi, friends! How are you all?

I hope you're all doing well.

Your own Rapper Mani is back.

It's your love that brought me back.

Thanks for that.

I have a sweet surprise for all my fans.

I have a concept coming up.

It's dedicated to you all.

Yeah, it's a live album.

This song is based on a true incident.

It's very different from my previous work.

I'll perform it live for you. You'll love it.

See you soon. Bye.

Hi viewers

I'm Raja from the Red Link channel.

We've come today with an update on a special person.

And it's none other than Rapper Mani!

Rapper Mani has made a comeback.

He's also performing an album, live for his fans.

Let's hear from his fans, come on.

What's your opinion on Rapper Mani?

We never expected his comeback!

All his songs are a vibe.

At our college cultural, his songs are a must.

We love him so much!

And how will you show him your love?

By showering him with kisses!

What happened?

Are you okay?

"I searched for a dew-kissed flower"

"Until I found you, My newly blossomed one"

"You gave me a joy My soul can't describe"

"You little tease, who started A new chapter of love"

"You spoke love through your eyes"

"You gave me a feeling I can't explain"

"As we grow close, It feels like ice has fallen for fire"

"I calm the waves that crash from you With just my eyes"

"Your eyes, hypnotic moons, Pull me close"

"Drunk on your love, I feel like I'm walking in heaven"

"As you open up, I begin to read you"

"In that moment Our hearts become one"

"As you hold your grace, I hold you close"

"In that moment our souls unite"

"As you open up, I begin to read you"

"In that moment our hearts become one"

"As you hold your grace, I hold you close"

"In that moment our souls unite"

"Words aren't enough, my sweety"

"To express the love I feel"

"What have you done to me?"

"Your presence makes me tremble"

"Your breath melts me away"

"Like winter wind, Your love makes me shiver"

"Your eyes rest deep within my heart"

"I knew pleasure only when I met you"

"I'll etch your beauty into poetry"

"You've filled my life, from head to toe"

"You fall like rain, And I drown in your love"

"You're a breath of green I quietly hold"

"As you open up, I begin to read you"

"In that moment Our hearts become one"

"As you hold your grace, I hold you close"

"In that moment our souls unite"

My name is Krishnaveni.

I'm the AHM of Gen International School.

All the kids' parents at the school know me well.

I'm going to expose the truth about our school.

Especially about Madhumitha's death.

- Excuse me, ma'am. - Yes, come in.

Madhumitha and her classmates met me.

Ma'am, we are from 9A.

After Renuka ma'am left, we have no class teacher.

And we find it difficult to understand the lessons.

So, we're here to let you know.

Were you sent by a teacher to ask this?

[all] No ma'am. We came on our own.

Alright, you can go. We'll take care of it.

Thank you ma'am.

I knew this problem would get worse,

so I called the Chairman again.

Remember the teachers' issue I told you about?

What rubbish is this? You keep repeating it.

Let them resign if they want to.

Lakhs are waiting to work for lower salaries.

You get it?

I was happily driving, listening to music!

You ruined my mood. Hang up.

- Darling, hold on for a second. - I'm still on the line.

Darling, just do this.

If anyone resigns, they must pay three months' salary to leave.

Tell them certificates will be returned only then.

Got it?

- Isn't this unfair? - What's unfair in this?

Their time and salary are my profit.

Just say it's school policy.

Only then will they keep quiet and get to work.

I passed it on to all the teachers, as the Chairman said.

Once I spoke, they backed off from resigning.

I thought the issue was resolved,

but that's when it began.

Madhumitha ended her life.

The chairman has sent us a voice note.

Let's hear it.

My greetings to all teachers.

It hurts that we failed to save Madhumitha.

I couldn't even have a sip since morning thinking about it.

I have just one request for you.

Please be kind to all our students.

Her father's scolding led to Madhumitha's death.

As the school's chairman, I can't be at peace thinking about this.

Let's all offer our deepest condolences…

for Madhumitha.

Madhumitha killed herself after the school expelled her for failing the exams.

The chairman hid this truth from everyone.

Instead, he made everyone believe…

her father's scolding caused it.

Police may enquire any of us about her death.

Whatever they ask, tell you them that you don't know.

Because we don't actually know.

And that's the real truth.

The teachers who stayed silent turned all the parents against us.

What's the point of arguing with you?

Just give us the TC, we'll move to another school.

This is such an injustice!

You collect lakhs in fees, but there's no teacher.

First give us the TC.

If you don't give it, I'll go to the police.

We're being patient thinking of our child's future.

Please stay patient, hear me out first.

- We can't waste time on this. - Issue the TC and end all this.

- All we need is the TC. - How will they study without teachers?

- Our child's future comes first. - We're done with this school.

- We don't trust you anymore. - Give the TC, now.

- We don't need your school. - You're overdoing it.

[unison] Give us the TC, now!

[crowd clamors]

This is about our school's reputation.

Handle this carefully.

These people struggled to get a seat here.

Now, they've come together like this.

There's someone behind it.

We must find out.

Otherwise…

Like Krishna suspected,

there was a teacher behind this, who brought the teachers together.

Many of our students' parents are illiterate.

They work for daily wages.

They blindly follow the management…

and think their children aren't capable of learning.

They take loans and go into debt to pay fees.

Even after knowing all this, we've been keeping quiet.

We must stop fighting for ourselves

and start fighting for better education.

We must make the management realize…

only good teachers like us can provide proper education.

The parents are still connected to us through WhatsApp.

We'll reveal everything happening here.

This fight isn't just for the students' future.

It's for ours too!

All the details the parents had

were taken by Mathi from the admin office.

We saw it on the CCTV.

- Who is this? - She's Mathi.

Call her immediately!

- Hello! - Hello?

- Yes, ma'am. - Mathi, did you go home?

No, ma'am. I just stepped out of the school.

It's urgent. Can you come to my office?

Can I meet you tomorrow?

Mathi, it's an important work. Come now.

Okay, ma'am. I'll be there.

Krishna discovered Mathi was behind everything.

Enraged, he beat her and tried to kill her.

Mani!

How dare you gather the teachers to speak to the parents?!

Intentional or not, you crossed a line.

The parents won't trust you anymore.

Your credibility is gone!

Die now!

Listen,

our business survives

only till the parents think private schools offer good education. Got it?

Or else, we're finished.

You've ruined everything!

Mathi…

But Rapper Mani saved Mathi just in time.

Mom…

Let go of my son, please.

Mani…

Your injustice leaves no room for sentiments.

Keep these videos safe, Mathi. You're responsible for this.

Mani, check this out.

- Who sent this? - Some random number.

This evidence alone can send the Chairman to jail.

Let's take this to the media.

No.

If the media gets this, it'll reach everyone.

With this, we can take action against him.

Come!

I've got a better plan.

Rapper Mani will perform a live album this evening.

And the highlight is, it is based on a true incident.

The crowd is excitedly waiting for it.

"Thought it was a stream, But it ain't a stream"

"Took it for a sea, but it's no sea"

"Thought it was a language But it ain't a language"

"All I learned ain't even a handful, Not even a grain"

"Thought it was a stream, But it ain't a stream"

"Took it for a sea, but it's no sea"

"Thought it was a language But it ain't a language"

"All I learned ain't even a handful, Not even a grain"

"Said it was music, But it ain't no music"

"I was chasing that life… But it ain't the life"

"Took it for education… But it ain't education"

"I speak my truth out in the light"

"This education Sold as wealth"

"But chasing riches, they turned that wealth into a business trade"

"Damn… look at the state we in"

"Graduates broken, wearing thin"

"A degree in hand, but starving still Hunger got 'em losing the will to live"

"Back then, literacy was just seven percent"

"Now it's twnty-six across The nation we represent"

"But what's the point?"

"Kids losing lives just over an exam? Who takes the blame?"

"Who's gon' answer for His dreams, let me know… ♪

"Who'll answer?"

"Who's gonna answer for the loot in education?"

"In little hearts, Desires start to grow"

"But parents got no time To hear them though"

"So past the loneliness, Who do they seek?"

"The one teacher who's there to teach"

"But what can he do? Greed for profit ♪

"Drains his labor While the system feeds"

"Private greed, eyes on money"

"Heavy workload, focus blurry Teachers struggling, barely coping"

"Young hearts, they lose their way"

"Talent never gets to rise Dying like a flock of birds"

"All that cruelty on one side Seeing it, still choose to slide"

"Fame and power one side"

"Between these two, who am I? Who are we…"

I'm Krishnaveni.

The AHM of Gen School.

I'm going to confess a few things about my school.

Especially about Mathumitha's death.

Chairman Krishna is responsible for her death.

Had he appointed enough teachers,

Mathumitha would be alive by now.

He's the one behind Rapper Mani and Mathi's car accident.

[In unison] We want justice! We want justice!

"Unknown, unseen, misunderstood A thousand beasts surround me"

"I am the future, a warrior of creation The battlefield of every conflict"

"Is everything I say wrong? Is opposing me your only way?"

"High or low, in this divided land, We run and run, chasing every day"

"This is a fighter's rage No more talk"

"With force, We're about to strike a massive blow"

"So many deceptions Some just learn to live with it"

"Lady Justice stands blindfolded, And humanity nears its end"

Yamuna, forgive me.

I was the one who forced my dad to put me in Gen School.

I told him that I'd become a rank holder.

But it doesn't seem possible now.

I've realized I can't achieve

my parents' dream by studying here.

I lost all hope

after failing my quarterly and half-yearly exams.

Chairman has issued TC for me.

If I had a good class teacher like Mathi ma'am,

I'm sure I would've passed.

Thinking about it gives me headaches.

And I keep having nightmares.

So instead of struggling like this,

I decided to take my own life.

I don't want to disappoint my parents.

Mom, when you come to the parent-teacher meeting,

don't just listen to them.

Ask why we don't have enough teachers.

And why they keep changing them.

Will you?

Dad…

they make 80 students sit in one class.

It's very cramped.

Can you talk to the teacher about it?

Please.

Mom,

they hold special classes after school until 7 p.m.

Because they don't have enough teachers.

I'm exhausted by the time I get home.

I can't study after that.

Please visit the school.

Please, Mom.

[All together] Help us! Help us!

[All together] Help us! Help us!

"Rumbling the city"

This is outrageous.

My grandson studies at this school too.

Are you crazy? Why are you doing this?

Why me? Catch the real culprits.

You'll pay for this.

My God.

"Rumble in, rumble in, rumble"

- Mr. Ajay. - Sir.

At any cost,

we have to arrest Rapper Mani by this evening, no matter what.

- Sir. - Don't delay. Move fast.

He ruined my dreams.

I won't let him get away with it.

Didn't I warn you earlier?

Never trust a local boy like him.

Now you're facing the consequences.

I'm going to make him pay.

I think you should sing for our next album.

Hey, look at this.

Dude, let's not stay here. Come.

I'm talking to you!

- Where to? - Are you serious?

The chairman's men will be after you now.

We have to keep you safe before they get you.

That's why. Come.

He has a point. Get up.

- Let's go. - What the hell can they do?

They'll kill me? Let them come. I'm ready!

Sir, why are you hitting us?

- Hey! - Let us go, sir.

Drag them out.

Sir!

Fast, dude.

Bro! Bro! What's going on? Why are you smashing the lock?

Hey! You better come with me.

Get lost.

Sir, why are you hitting us?

I'm arresting you under the National Security Act.

Say another word, I'll leave you beaten and bruised.

We speak up against injustice, and you dare arrest us under this act?

- Let me go. - How arrogant! Just die!

Why are they investigating them? Do you know why?

Rapper Mani's inside, and the police are here.

I don't know what happened to him!

- Open the shutter! - Listen, move back!

Hand off, brothers.

- Brother, listen to me. - Open the shutter.

- Brother, please be patient. - Mani is inside, sir.

- Stop getting all worked up! - What's that smirk, you jerk?

Give me the lathi.

Come on… your voice is free, use it!

Go on, talk… your voice and your strength still belong to you.

Talk… your life's still in your hands.

Look close… Every strike on the parai spits sparks.

Iron burns red in the fire.

See that… voices once locked are breaking open.

The shackles are coming loose.

Talk!

Your voice and your tongue still belong to you.

Speak! Dawn has finally come.

Come on! Say all that's on your mind.

Move! Move! Move back!

People want to know why Rapper Mani is mixed up in this.

How long will you keep slicing our fingers off?

Enough is enough! Be warned!

Gen School lacked enough teachers to teach the kids,

and in her video, Madhumitha, a ninth-grade student

who failed her half-yearly exams, said she was pushed out with a TC

to maintain the school's “all pass” SSLC reputation,

and that pressure drove her to take her life.

Following this, Gen School's Correspondent,

Krishan, was arrested by the CBCID.

Sir, you've met the Education Minister

representing the Private School Association.

Silence. Silence.

We've just met him. Our president will brief you on the meeting.

Greetings, everyone.

We extend our condolences for the tragedy at Gen International School.

We took disciplinary action against Gen School owner Krishnan

and removed him from our association.

This doesn't usually happen in private schools.

If some private schools act like this

and the government steps in, we don't object.

We'll give our full support.

Thank you.

Chinnasamy! What the hell?

Why is our leader's photo big and mine small?

- Brother… - Hey!

- Put mine big and-- - Brother!

What is it?

Ten rappers and Mathi are waiting to meet you.

What?

The ones behind that problem.

- Them? - Yes, brother.

Wait, I'll call you back.

I'm in this mess because of them!

They caused all that chaos and now they're here to see me?

- I'll-- - Brother. This side.

- I got confused. - Come.

They'll have cameras, so I can't even say anything.

What help do you need?

You don't get it? Why are you here?

- Sir. - A petition?

Sit down.

One move from you and chaos erupts.

What is this?

Got it.

Closed government schools in Tamil Nadu should be reopened,

and Gen International School should be taken over by the government.

Private school teachers' wages and working hours must be standardized.

If this isn't done, children's education will take a hit.

The future of our nation will be at stake.

When developed nations provide free education,

why should we as a developing country privatize ours?

This feels like our election manifesto!

How come we think exactly the same?

- You are our Leader, brother. - Point!

You guys are so smart for your age. Leave this to me.

I'll raise this in Parliament, and no matter the pressure or backlash,

my leader and I will work to reopen the closed government schools.

Happy? Leave it to me.

Our goals are the same. Let's take action.

Also, instead of turning your policies into rap songs and disturbing people…

just come to me directly!

I'm here to fulfill your demands.

You need anything else?

- Thank you, sir. - Happy? Glad to hear that.

Don't go around singing everywhere. Dear, please don't.

Sit down.

Once he gets released, tell him I want to meet him.

If he writes a rap about our leader, he'll be thrilled.

Right?

- You know what'll happen, right? - Yes.

- So take care of it. - Yes, sir.

- Thanks. - Pleasure.

- Don't forget. - Ok.

The future of a nation

is decided in its classrooms.

Mathi?

You asked what's 'out of the world beauty', right?

It's just…

warrior queens like you.

Art isn't just for entertainment.

It connects with souls and sparks change.

It's a powerful political tool.
