'Nizhal'

'Shadow'

Brother.

What dear, did your dad send you to pick up goods today?

Oh come on… he just won't let me go.

That's why I got up before him and ran off.

- Master, one tea. - Coming right up.

Alright, you carry on with your work. I'll get going.

What Ramya, back from the market?

Again today? How many times have I told you not to drink?

You never listen.

Ramya, go on. There's no point talking to him.

They open early and sell illegally. They need to be dealt with

Yeah, education itself is being sold through illegal means.

Won't they sell liquor too?

Yeah, Yeah, that's true.

If you don't change even after seeing a drunkard, we can't stop this drinking.

Hidden inside the beans… (mumbling)… what a wonder!

Wow, she looks really attractive. I've got to somehow win her over.

I'll hit you with my slipper!

Hey, hey, why are you leaving?

Call me later. We can talk privately.

- You old hag… Aunty! - Hey, who are you calling 'Aunty'?

Eat that beetroot. Then you'll glow like Tamanna.

- What? - I meant you'll become beautiful.

So you're saying I look ugly?

Do I have to say it for you to understand?

Hey!

Put the vegetables down.

You look like a slender loris, starving for love.

Let her come, I'll tell her about you.

Look at you, you bushy haired mess. I'll deal with you later.

Deal with me? What am I going to do with her?

Hey!

Where's Dad?

Dad… here, here, here.

How many times have I told you? I'll take care of this kind of work.

Don't you ever listen?

How many times have I told you to take rest? Will you listen?

- Come here. - Where?

- Sit down first. - Then…

Can't even sell what's already here… and now there's okra too.

Just sit at the counter and collect the cash.

That cauliflower head will handle the rest.

- Alright, Dad. Pick up that bag. - Okay, got the bag.

If I open a shop right opposite, they'll know who I am.

Alright, Dad.

Damn, why is this so heavy?

Since when did this cluster bean turn into a cauliflower head?

Looks like you've got all the vegetables on your head.

Alright, don't go to the market anymore.

Just sell me instead. Have some respect here.

Respect? First turn that scrawny body into something solid. Then you'll get respect.

- Listen… something's been off lately. - What? The chapati?

I'm talking about your daughter.

Hmm... Yes.

She's always lost in thought.

- That's enough, that's enough. - Take a little more.

Let's not waste time. We can do it tomorrow.

What are you saying? You want to do it tomorrow?

You've thought this through, right? Once we get into it, there's no turning back.

Dear…

Dad...

What is it? Is something wrong?

No, I was just talking on the phone.

You left your food and came here in this cold.

What was so important on the phone? What happened?

I'm coming, Dad.

Alright, eat well and get some rest. I'll go to the market in the morning.

No, it's fine, Dad. I'll go myself. You're here, huh..

Hey, don't you have any sense?

Look what you've done. Mindless. What are you looking at?

Oh, don't you understand English?

Hello, it's just a small scratch in your car.

I'm educated enough to follow your dramatic outburst.

And by the way, speaking in English doesn't make you brilliant.

Okay… what are you looking at? It's only a scratch on the car.

Did it scratch your face?

- Say that again, idiot. - Is this Ramya?

Hey, who are you calling an idiot?

Yeah, I meant you. What are you going to do about it?

- Sister, sister, it's my fault. - That's all I'm saying.

Sorry, sister. You can go.

Hey, come on.

Why are you getting scared of her?

I thought she was uneducated, but she's educated.

"Burn like fire, fierce and bright."

Come, help me through this night.

Like water, like the endless sea.

Come and drench my feet.

Oh... Look at me, consumed and yearning.

Like a soul that keeps searching even after its thirst is quenched.

Will this ache in my heart only grow deeper?

Will there ever be a moment to ease it?

The sound of garments tearing apart. That is my battle.

In my nights, unseen by you, So many sounds echo within.

Those bees circling honey, know only a fraction of its sweetness.

These bees that wander aimlessly, circle about without understanding.

Come, come, look at me.

There are countless places waiting for your touch.

Touch me like a bee drawn to dripping honey.

Let sweat fall at the height of our exertion.

Upon the bed, our bodies display their art.

Fingers and soft moans become a language of their own.

While you linger somewhere above, pleasure stirs below.

Lips grow moist and drenched.

Will it never change, never end?

Will these thirsts never be quenched?

Burn like fire, fierce and bright.

Come, help me through this night.

Like water, like the endless sea.

Come and drench my feet.

The sound of garments tearing apart.

That is my battle.

In my nights, unseen by you,

So many sounds echo within.

Those bees circling honey, know only a fraction of its sweetness.

These bees that wander aimlessly, circle about without understanding.

Hey, is that you?

Hey, be a bit more polite when you talk to her.

She sent her husband away because she wasn't respected.

- Okay, okay. - Alright, she's coming.

- Greetings, Madam. - Greetings!

- Have a seat. - Yeah, okay.

Madam, last time you came and made the function a success.

Just like last year, everyone wants you to come this year as well.

I'll definitely come. When is it?

It's on the 25th this month, Madam.

Oh, the 25th?

I'll definitely try to come.

- Thank you, Madam. - Many thanks, Madam.

[phone ringing]

What are you saying?

When?

What is she looking for?

She keeps coming and going.

Hey, look here. I'm talking to you.

What, Mom? Rajee asked me to come.

Oh, Rajee? Okay, okay, wait, I'll come.

Eat this and go.

No, I don't need anything. It's getting late, I'll leave.

- Hey, just eat this and go. - I'll take care of it there.

I woke up early and cooked for her, and she won't even eat. What can I say?

Good morning.

Good morning. You're up early. First shift?

Yeah, my shift changed today. That's why.

What's this surprise? You're even brushing today... something special?

Yeah, yeah… I'm going to meet a prospective bride.

Oh, and then what?

- Hold out your hand. - Why?

Just hold it out, I'll tell you.

- Happy Raksha Bandhan. - Hey, that's awesome. Thank you.

It's been a long time since training ended. Haven't you been posted yet?

That's exactly why I'm going to the Commissioner's office today.

You're going to the hospital today, right?

Yeah… why do you ask?

I just thought I'd drop you off.

Oh, so you're offering to drop me, is that it?

- That's right. - And I'm supposed to believe that?

Yeah.

Alright, you come. I'll go downstairs and get ready.

- Good morning, Doctor. - Good morning.

Rajee will come. Give these reports to her.

Okay, Doctor.

And one more thing... he's the chairman's son.

What are you saying, sir? The chairman's son?

Yes, so be careful.

- Inform Rajee as well. - Okay, sir.

Hmm… let it happen, let it happen.

Come.

What's going on? Things are turning out differently than we thought.

Say something. Are you going to tell me or not?

Wait a minute. You go inside, I'll come.

What is she planning to do?

What are you doing?

He's barely alive. He won't even realize he's dying.

This alone is a huge punishment for him.

What if he regains consciousness?

Alright, take care.

Oh God.

Guna! Guna!

Guna… oh God… Have I been holding my breath just to see you like this?

Good morning, mam.

- What happened? - Mam… Guna sir… drugs…

Wait.

Karthiga!

Mam...

Take her outside.

- Oh my god... - Madam, please come.

Oh no!

Save him!

- Karthiga… - Mam?

- Give Mom some coffee. - Okay, mam.

Doctor, take all these reports to my room.

Okay, Doctor.

Mam, from what we've seen, he has used drugs... cocaine and others.

None of the medicines we've given are responding.

On top of that, he has a severe head injury.

That's why he hasn't regained consciousness.

We'll be able to say more only after 24 hours, mam.

What is this stuff? No matter how much I drink, I'm not getting high.

You've been thinking about something since you got here.

- Hey, bro… David… - Hey, what's your problem?

Why are you yelling for no reason?

I feel like something's off.

What do you mean, something's off?

What feels off to you?

No matter how drunk he is, he always drives in control.

- But.. - Hey, don't think like a madman.

You're overthinking everything and messing up your head.

Don't dwell on it, bro.

It's not as serious as you're thinking.

Do you understand?

No matter how much I explain, it just won't get into your head.

Why?

You keep drinking like this. I'm leaving.

- Hey, hey, wait! - Hey, let go!

Hey… hey… don't talk like that, bro.

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Hey, who the hell is that? Do you know who I am?

[phone ringing]

Hello?

[sobbing]

What happened, mam?

[sobbing]

Go check.

Wait, mam. I'll go check.

- Doctor... - Hmm...

Vicky...

His lumbar spinal cord is severely damaged.

He won't be able to walk anymore.

His lower body is paralyzed.

He'll need help even to use the toilet.

What did you say? What did you say?

Sir, please speak with some respect. I'm explaining the patient's condition.

Mam...

Wait outside. I'll call you.

You come with me.

Mam, please sit. I'll check and come.

- Brother... - Sir...

Where is mam?

- Go straight and take a right. - Hmm.

What's happening here?

We thought Guna's was an accident… now Vicky too?

It doesn't look like an accident.

To cover up your mistakes, we end up making mistakes too, right?

That's why you keep doing this again and again.

But one thing...

If what happened to Guna wasn't an accident…

There's nothing like that.

Madam.

Madam.

Hey…

Hey…

Hey...

Wake up!

Hey, ma'am is here!

- Hey, what is it? - Ma'am is here. Get up!

What is it, Mom?

Mom, stop. What's the problem?

What's the problem? You are the problem.

You raped a girl and killed her, and you're talking like you know nothing?

Did we do it on purpose?

Oh, so she just fell into the fire and died, is that it? You scumbags.

Everything you did is clearly captured on the CCTV cameras.

Because of you, your father's name and all his wealth are being ruined.

Even those who take money from me to work are talking back to me now.

I don't know how much more we're going to suffer because of you.

Even now, your father has bribed the police to protect you.

I'm doing all this just because you're my son.

And on top of that, I have to protect these useless fellows too.

Only when you stop hanging out with these people will you change.

Damn.

Hey… this is the last wrong I'll do for you as your mother.

If you do this again, I'll hand you over to the ACP myself.

Until I say so, no one steps out. And don't roam around together.

Madam!

What is it, mam? You asked me to come.

Yes, Vetri.

At first, I thought what happened to Guna was an accident.

But seeing what's happening now, I have my doubts.

What if this wasn't an accident… and someone else did it?

What do you think, mam? Do you suspect anyone?

No, no, Vetri. I don't suspect anyone. You have to find out.

Your investigation should be thorough.

Welcome, Aunty.

- Hey, long time, haven't seen you around. - Haven't seen me around?

I was here just last week buying vegetables.

What's on your mind?

Nothing, Aunty. I was just thinking about something else.

Whatever… looks like you were deep in thought.

Hey, onion… put some tomatoes in this properly.

By the way, Aunty, when did you say your daughter's baby shower is?

Hey, you've forgotten everything.

I told you last week, didn't I? The baby shower is tomorrow.

She's not herself. What's wrong with her?

Oh, Aunty…

I shouldn't have joked with you.

I didn't forget anything, I was just pretending. Did you believe me?

Nice acting.

Hey, you spinach-head, give it properly.

Alright, how much is it?

No need for money, Aunty. Won't I do this for you?

No need for money? Alright then, I'll take two mangoes.

Oh… the moment it's free, you want mangoes?

I've got a bit of poison, shall I give that?

Can you drink it with your whole family?

Hey, make sure you come for the baby shower tomorrow.

Okay, okay, Aunty.

Looks like she's going to trap us.

Hey, hey, what is it?

It's nothing, Sister… Aunty's just trying for Airtel Super Singer, that's all

Thank God! I escaped!

- Hello, Uncle. How are you? - I'm doing well.

Ramya, how are you?

Uh… I'm doing well.

Alright, shall I get the vegetables on this list?

Oh, did you come just to buy vegetables? Not to see Dad?

For both, dear. What kind of question is that?

Okay, Uncle.

- Hey, Pandi, get everything on this list. - Hey, come on!

Hey, how are you? Are you doing well?

I'm good… I need to talk in private.

You want to talk in private? Go on, talk over there.

See? You haven't changed.

I need to talk to you in private.

- Let's go to the tea shop and talk. - Okay… come.

- I'll be back, dear. - Alright, dad.

Hmm… what next?

Brother, two strong teas.

- Go on. - Hey… it's nothing… just…

Nothing? Then why drag me all the way here?

Hey, let me talk first. You're still joking like a 20-year-old.

It will be there right.. Okay… tell me. What is it?

- You remember Sai? - Yeah.

He finished his practice out of town and came back.

He's going to court now and doing well.

Remember what we talked about when we were kids?

Yeah, about the marble you stole and never returned?

Not that.

Oh, when you hit my head playing gilli and I started bleeding?

- Oh, come on… it's not that. - Then what?

Sai and Ramya's marriage…?

What are you saying?

I'm asking you openly…

When are you sending Ramya as my daughter-in-law?

Uh… uh…

What, you don't like it?

Who is this guy… You decided all this in childhood?

Yeah.

Look… Sai is like my son, Ramya is your daughter… okay?

Let's fix the marriage. Don't worry.

Muruga… your grace is something else.

Of course… how can there be no grace?

Hey Muruga… I meant Lord Murugan.

Oh, you won't let it go, will you?

Alright, we'll pick a good day and come home, okay?

A good day? The day we met is already a good day.

- Thank God. - I'll bring my son to your house tomorrow

I'm really happy.

Yeah, and you pay for the tea.

Muruga, you have no mercy!

Why are you scolding God?

Not God… I'm scolding you.

Alright, cheers.

Your childhood habits haven't changed.

Relax, it's just for fun.

Okay, drink.

How did the fire start, mam? Any idea?

No, sir.

What, mam? Did you find any evidence?

Sir, this is definitely not a fire accident.

What are you saying? Then how did the lab catch fire?

From examining the body…

it appears three or four people raped and murdered her.

No… no… that's not possible.

Let's wait for the medical reports, mam.

Also, sir…

Sir, they tried to make it look like a fire accident

by pouring chemicals and setting it on fire.

But the body wasn't completely burned.

Then this case is going to be complicated.

You're correct, sir.

No matter who it is, they'll make a mistake.

In this case, their biggest mistake was not completely burning the body.

Also, if you look closely…

the burns are only up to second degree.

If we proceed with the post-mortem, we'll get a full report.

But how can you say it was rape?

There is severe damage to the victim's private parts… and there's bleeding.

I've also collected multiple fingerprints from the body.

I've sent you the complete report by mail.

Okay, mam. I'll call if I need any more details.

Okay, sir. Thank you.

Mam, where is the CCTV room?

Maharaja!

Yes...

Yeah… that's Guna in the video, right?

What should we do now? Tell me yourself.

Don't you know what to do?

Look… if this gets out in the news, not just the hospital,

my entire business will suffer.

So nothing about this should go beyond this college.

Do whatever you have to.

You're saying it too casually, sir.

This isn't something ordinary…

Guna and his friends raped and murdered a girl, so…

A blank check will reach your house.

Fill in any amount you want... you'll get the amount you fill.

Now you understand how serious this is, sir.

It's okay, Vetri. You handle everything.

I have an important meeting, I'll take leave.

- Okay, sir. - Hmm.

Sir!

Hmm.

It's okay, sir.

It's fine, have a seat.

Thank you, sir.

Congratulations.

Thank you, sir.

I've assigned you to your local station.

Thank you, sir.

But there's a reason for that…

- Yes, sir? - You'll have to handle a case unofficially

Constable Perumal will give you the details.

Your investigation should be very confidential.

Report only to me.

Okay, sir.

You're probably wondering why your first case has to be handled secretly.

Hmm.

Some matters are like that, Raghuvaran.

You'll understand as you go.

So that's it, Raghuvaran.

Even if you get a small lead, report it immediately.

- Sure, sir. - All the best.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you, sir.

Hey!

Who are you? Why have you tied me up?

Hey… you idiots… untie this knot!

What do you want?

Stand in front of me and show yourselves!

Hey...

Untie me!

What did you do? I can't see!

Doctor, I need to question him.

Sir, he's still unconscious.

- He hasn't regained consciousness yet. - Oh… okay.

When will he stabilize?

There's significant internal bleeding, sir

Treatment is ongoing. We can't say anything for now.

He has a friend... Vicky?

Yes, sir. He's on the first floor.

We can question him, right?

Yes, sir.

Alright.

- Sir… - I'm police. Please wait outside.

What happened, Vicky?

I was heavily drunk, sir.

When did you leave the bar?

Like I said, sir… around 10 to 11.

Were you alone?

No, sir. David and I went together.

Then how did only you meet with an accident?

Where is David?

We had a fight at the bar, sir.

He got angry and left, sir.

- Hmm. - I came out of the bar alone, sir.

Someone picked me up in a car…

we went in that car… they took me some distance…

What car? Model? Color? Do you remember anything?

No, sir. I thought it was a police vehicle…

A police vehicle?

It even had a siren, sir.

Did you notice anything else? Any face? Any detail?

No, sir.

Alright, Vicky. Get some rest.

- Sir… - Hmm?

Sir, there was an Ajith photo in that vehicle.

An Ajith photo? Okay.

Aunty...

- Who's there? - It's me, Aunty. Sai.

Come in, son.

Sai is here. Come.

Come, come… come in, son.

What's this, suddenly? Your father said he'd come at 4.

Yes, Uncle… We were planning to come in the evening.

I had some work nearby, so I thought I'd drop by…

and also talk to Ramya.

I was just kidding, Uncle.

Oh!

Your father said to send you ahead, he'll come later.

Hmm… please sit. Dear, get him some tea or coffee.

- Sit, son. - Okay

- Tea or coffee, son? - Tea is fine, Aunty.

Okay, sit. I'll bring it.

Please sit.

Hey, what did you plan, and what are you doing now?

Relax… we just got here. Stay calm.

What is this? I don't understand anything.

Hmm… I don't get it either.

Shall we just ask?

Hey, ask them.

How can I ask?

Wait, let's see what's going on.

Dear…

Hmm… alright, let's ask.

Okay.

[door opens]

Please sit. I'll be back in a minute.

Wait here.

Ask her...

Just ask her.

Dear...

Dear...

Saranya!

Why are you looking like that? Don't we know our girls?

She's been lost in thought lately…

Dear...

Dad…

She's not herself. What happened to her?

How are you, dear?

I'm fine.

Hey… I'll hit you if I see you near this shop again.

By the way, speaking in English doesn't make you brilliant, okay?

Where is Ramya? Tell me where she is!

She is not here…

Ramya!

Ramya!

[phone ringing]

Hello?

Saranya! Three guys are chasing Ramya. Come quickly!

- Who? - The chairman's son and his friends!

What? Where is Ramya now?

- Come fast! - I'm coming!

Where is she? Get in the vehicle!

Quick, get in!

Get in fast!

Ramya!

How did you let her escape? If she talks, we're all done!

Ramya!

Oh no… Damn.

Auto! Brother, please go fast this way!

Yes, this way!

She must be somewhere around here!

Hey! There she is! Catch her!

Got you.

Catch her.

Ramya!

Come

- Take her down. - Finish her.

- Hey… leave me! - It's over, leave her.

No… she has to die.

Hey... Dude.

- Grab him! - Come on!

Hey...

We have a lot to do…

We can't leave her like this.

Let's finish her here.

Come on!

Are they giving us a break?

Damn.

This dean has nothing else to do, he keeps

piling shift after shift on us and killing us.

Hey, is that even a problem?

Alright, I'll text.

Enough talking nonsense. Let's get serious.

Hmm, tell me, what's the plan for tomorrow?

Nothing big. Just the usual.

Hey, behave yourself. Watch your mouth.

Hmm, you tell me.

I'm using this excuse to go out with my boyfriend.

Do whatever you want.

Actually, let me say it.

I don't care what you all do.

Okay.

Tomorrow, I'm not wearing this uniform in the hospital.

Then don't.

- Hey, that's great! - I'm okay with that.

Yes, come on.

What about you?

- Okay. - Okay.

Wow, this is surprising. Everyone agreed.

Hmm, looks like you're planning something.

So it's all set for tomorrow, right?

Hey, look at her.

See now.

Leave her.

She'll do whatever she wants.

Hey, you're going to mess this up, right?

Shut up.

Everyone has already agreed. Don't mess this up now.

Nothing like that. Come on, get up.

Wait, wait. I'll move aside. Come on.

Here, open your mouth.

Hey Muruga.

What's going on here?

Have you ever fed me like this?

Watch it.

Talk respectfully to your father.

I will kill you.

Come on, Saranya. Ramya looked really dull, so I'm feeding her.

The other day when I hurt my hand, you said it was nothing and went to the shop.

But now you're feeding her like this?

You remember all that very well, don't you?

Hey, Deivanai… watch out, the chicken leg will hurt.

Too much attitude.

No shame at all, eating while ignoring your own daughter.

Hmm, you're too spoiled.

We raised you all these years, and you still talk like this. Go aside.

You be quiet. Come, dear, I'll feed you. Here.

You pampered her too much, that's why she doesn't respect anyone.

Hmm, as if you respect anyone?

If you don't speak up, you won't sleep.

Smells amazing. Hey, 'Ice Biryani,' your cooking always tastes special.

We should get you gold bangles.

Forget the bangles. What's new? Why are you in the kitchen today?

You work so hard. I thought I'd help.

Help? Me?

Alright, tell me, what help do you need?

See, this is what I like about you.

You figured out I came to ask for help without me even saying it.

Hello, sister… ask for any help, but I won't do it.

When you cried as a kid to avoid homework, I got scolded for you.

When I skipped college, you marked attendance for me.

We always covered for each other.

Okay, so what now? Tell me directly.

Just this once, go to the hospital in my place, please.

Hey, are you serious? I'm not going anywhere.

If someone finds out, it'll be a problem.

We've fooled Mom and Dad so many times, they never found out.

I promise, this is the last time. I won't ask again.

Fine. Don't overact. I won't help you again after this. This is the last time.

I love you, my 'Ice Biryani.' Now hurry up and go to the hospital.

Boo!

Hey! I'm already scared.

What, she sent you here and went out with her boyfriend?

She went with her boyfriend?

That, come on. Let's go check if everyone's ready inside.

What if someone finds out?

Even we couldn't figure it out all these days, who else will?

Come on.

Who is going to figure it out?

"The night is far from over"

"Don't let this blissful moment slip away"

"Let's fade into the dark, like shadows"

"The breeze along the shore"

"Our restless hands speak"

"My love, I drift like a wave seeking shore"

"My beautiful one"

"One look at you, and I'm lost"

"I lived in loneliness and emptiness"

"You're the blessing that ended my solitude"

"I'll follow you in dreams and in love"

"I'll spend my life as your loving wife"

"Her eyes flash like lightning"

"She's the woman who strikes my heart with desire"

"Her words intoxicate me"

"My eyes well up with joy"

"The night is far from over"

"Don't let this blissful moment slip away"

"Let's fade into the dark, like shadows"

"My beautiful one"

"One look at you, and I'm lost"

- Bye. - Wait.

Hey, leave me. If someone sees and tells my dad, that's it.

Who? Your dad?

Yes.

Don't joke like this, alright?

Do you know how scary my dad is?

Is that so?

It's getting late. I have to go.

Stay for two minutes.

Should I come along with you?

Yeah, good idea.

If you're in such a hurry, first get your posting.

Then come home, talk to my parents, tie the knot.

After that, I'll come wherever you take me. Okay? Understood?

- Crazy! - What?

Nothing. I said I'm leaving.

Okay, bye.

- SI, sir - What?

I love you.

I love you too.

Hello, tell me.

Hey sis, is everything okay?

Everything's fine here.

How was the function?

It went great. You weren't there.

So what? She and I are the same.

By the way, where is she? Why didn't she pick up my call?

She went to the lab to see Lakshmi.

I'll ask her to call you once she's back.

Hmm… call me after your duty. I'll come pick her up.

Looks like you had a romantic time with your guy?

Come on, I barely get to see him.

It's always training, practice, duty…

today was rare, so we went out.

Sis, there's an emergency case.

- They asked you to come immediately. - Okay, I'm coming.

Hello, Saranya... there's an emergency case.

Okay, sis.

Rajee akka!

Rajee akka!

Ramya!

Rajee akka!

Rajee akka!

Hey!

Hey, dude, catch her!

- Why are you chasing her? - Don't let her go!

- Hey! - Catch her!

Hey Saranya, come! They went inside that godown.

Did you hear something?

Hey, come, come!

Ramya… get up…

Ramya…

Ramya…

What will I tell my mom and dad?

Sis, look at her…

Oh no!

It's all because of me, she's like this.

I'm coming.

Where is she?

Mom, I have a medical camp tomorrow.

She's at the hospital for me, I'll go and bring her.

When you were studying, she did everything for you, and you did everything for her…

Don't you have any sense of where to draw the line?

When a problem comes, you'll understand.

And where's the dress you wore? Whose dress is this?

I got drenched in the rain, so I wore my friend's dress.

- Deivanai... - Where did it even rain?

Hey, look at me…

Why are you always scolding her?

She said she has work.

I'm asking her something, does she answer?

She just walks away.

Look… for us, they are two people,

but for them, they're one soul.

Oh, so I shouldn't say anything to your daughter?

You always take her side.

Why are you leaving so late?

I need to be there early tomorrow morning.

Are you going alone?

No, with the camp members.

- Alright. - Hmm.

Deivanai… the girl is leaving.

Take this.

No, Dad…

Take it. I'm your father.

Go safely and come back, okay?

- Dad... - Hmm...

There might be no signal where I'm going.

Don't worry if I don't pick up, I'll call you.

- Alright. - Go carefully.

Ramya…

Ramya… oh God!

- Oh God, Ramya… - What happened to my child?

Get up, Ramya…

Tell me what happened!

I don't understand anything…

She was perfectly fine… how is she like this?

Oh God, Ramya…

I'm asking you. why aren't you answering?

They're asking you. Tell us what happened.

Only then we can do something!

Ramya…

Get up… hey, Ice Biryani… Get up, please!

Sis… what will I tell Mom and Dad.

Saranya…she has a pulse! Lift her, quick!

I'll save her even if it costs my life!

Saranya, where are we going?

Let's take her to the hospital.

No… not there… let's take her somewhere else…

- What, sis? - Listen to me.

We don't even know what happened yet.

In this condition, we shouldn't take her there… let's take her to Karthiga's house.

Lift her… quick.

Only if you speak can we do something.

We've already done everything we can.

She's almost okay now… but just a little-

"Am I incomplete without you?"

"Like eyes without tears"

"Are these healing wounds yours?"

"Or are these memories mine to heal?"

"I ache here, thinking of you"

"This moment came because of me"

"I'm here to comfort you"

"I long to make amends"

"You wither in pain"

"I wither in memories"

"Every day"

"The tears go on"

"Enough of these tears"

"Enough of this distance between us"

"It will change"

""Everything will change""

"When you open your eyes"

"Look at me, my dear"

"I'll come to protect you"

"Sleep without fear"

"Let this moment pass through you"

"Face reality and stay strong"

"Let your sorrow fade away"

"A smile is enough to move on"

"The heart can heal itself"

"Your body will show the change"

"Life brings both each day"

"Joy and sorrow alike"

"Am I incomplete without you?"

"Like eyes without tears"

"Are these healing wounds yours?"

"Or are these memories mine to heal?"

"I ache here, thinking of you"

"This moment came because of me"

"I'm here to comfort you"

"I long to make amends"

"You wither in pain"

"I wither in memories"

"Every day"

"The tears go on"

"Enough of these tears"

"Enough of this distance between us"

"It will change"

"Everything will change"

So much has happened, Saranya.

And you didn't even feel like telling me? Why?

Don't you trust me? Or did you think I couldn't do anything?

It's not like that… I've seen how hard you've

worked all these years to become a police officer

that's why I didn't tell you.

That's exactly why… ever since childhood, when

you both kept switching places, I told you not to.

If it had been you, you might have escaped…

but because it was her, see what's happened.

I won't spare a single one of them.

I know what to do legally. I'll go to any extent.

Raghu… this is why I didn't tell you… Raghu… wait!

Perumal… I need that hospital fire case file immediately.

Yes, Perumal?

Sir, the new SI is asking for the fire accident file.

Is that so…

- Perumal… - Sir…

- How long does it take to get a file? - On the way, sir.

- Alright, I'll handle it. - Okay, sir.

[phone ringing]

Hello, sir…

Raghu… from now on, I'll handle this case.

- Sir… actually… - Do as I say.

Hand over all the files related to this case to Perumal.

Okay, sir.

Damn it… they won't even let me take a look.

[phone ringing]

Hello, Doctor… how long should I wait?

You could've come a bit earlier.

[phone ringing]

Hello, Lakshmi?

Raghu… Raghu… save me! Someone's following me!

Hello, where are you?

- I'm in the parking… - Parking? I'm in the parking too—

Boo!

Hey, idiot!

- It's me. - I got scared.

Look how fast my heart's beating!

Come on, bro. I was just checking if you're ready for police duty.

If you get scared for this, how will you handle real criminals?

So many things are happening around us, and

you're still playing around without any fear.

As long as my brother is here, why would I be afraid?

All talk…

So, done with your brother-sister bonding?

- Yeah, done. - Shall we leave now?

- Hmm, let's go. - Alright, Doctor madam.

Take good care of my brother. I'm a little scared to trust you.

Okay, okay… that's enough. I'll accept you as my sister-in-law.

Hey, I'll kill you!

Hey, no…

Mom, sister's friends have arrived.

- Hello, ma'am. - Hello, ma'am.

They're my sister's friends.

Hmm… please sit.

She was about three years old when her father suddenly passed away.

I raised both my daughters on my own but after a point, I couldn't manage anymore.

Lakshmi took responsibility like a son handled all the work.

She kept telling me, 'Give me some time, I'll study well, become a doctor,

and take care of you and sister.'

She worked alongside me in the fields.

She studied, and made sure her sister studied too.

I don't know what anger fate had it took my daughter away from me.

I keep talking like this without even offering coffee to the guests.

- That's okay, ma'am. - I'll go get coffee.

Please tell your mother.

Do I have to? She won't be able to handle it.

Lakshmi loved coffee so much.

She had keep asking for it and follow me around.

I've made coffee...

but she isn't here.

- Here, take it. - Thank you, ma'am.

Raghu...

Ma'am, we need your signature here.

Here it is.

Kavya, read what's written here.

Hey… Kavya, why are you crying?

Why is she crying?

Look how he's pulling it in.

Won't you give me some, bro?

Why dude?

Hey, hey… that girl is going.

Who?

The one we saw at the function, the girl in the saree. She's going.

Come on, let's go.

O positive

Hey…!

Leave me!

Let me go!

Let me go!

Help me!

Leave me!

Leave me!

Hey, don't.

Catch her!

Please leave me… don't.

Leave me… leave!

Don't do anything to me. My mother and sister are waiting for me.

Who are you people?

Hey, wait…

I won't do anything to you. Hey, Don't run!

Dude, catch her!

Don't let her leave this hospital!

Rajee akka!

Oh God… how could this happen to my daughter.

Those animals shouldn't be spared.

My daughter is the one who taught me to sign

and now I have to sign in a situation like this.

Here it is.

I'm not signing just for my daughter

What happened to her should never happen to any other girl.

Damn… what's going on here?

We don't even know who's behind this.

I feel like we're missing something…

we've done so much before, but nothing like this has happened.

Now it feels like I'm losing my mind.

Yeah… we've missed something big, bro.

That's what I've been thinking, but nothing's clicking.

Once I'm discharged, I'll show them who I am.

I told you not to get up from the bed.

If the doctor comes, he'll scold me.

Hey, just go.

You'll be discharged this evening. Go out and do whatever you want then.

Do you remember where we went that night? What we did?

You…?

She's the one we missed. It's her.

She's the one.

This is the place…!

Why did you leave her?

How did I miss this… how did I miss this?

Sir, this is the lab CCTV footage you asked for.

Thank you, no one saw you while taking this, right?

- No, sir. - You're sure no one saw you?

No, sir. No one saw me.

- Alright. - Okay, sir.

Raghu, I've completed all the legal work needed to move this case in court.

Now you can begin your work.

Not even one of those scoundrels should escape.

Do whatever it takes, I'm with you.

Send your son home. Don't raise him like you.

Hang up the phone.

Come here, you scumbag…

Don't come here and create unnecessary trouble.

It's not something you should know after I tell you, sir.

Whatever it is, come to the station and talk. I have a warrant.

We don't need all that, this is what you need.

Anticipatory bail.

You know what that means, right?

Listen, you're nothing…

we'll deal with it in court.

You think you can escape using loopholes in the law?

I know very well how to use the same law against you.

Take this.

You think you've escaped? I'll be back.

Hello, what happened? Is everything okay?

You don't even know how to raise a son. You've raised him just like you, arrogant.

Do you know how hard I worked to build that hospital?

You and your son tried to destroy it in a single day.

Alright, what do we do now?

Fine, hang up. I'll handle it.

What, Vetri? Will things go in our favour in court?

Don't worry about that, ma'am. I'll take care of it.

What about that SI?

I'm already keeping an eye on him, ma'am.

Why worry when I'm here?

From now on, he won't be able to make a single move.

Kesavan sir, please come and have a seat.

Tell me, sir.

I don't want to beat around the bush.

Alright.

Stop digging into that hospital issue unnecessarily and focus on your work.

What happened? You said we'd handle it in court. Is your case getting weak?

Stay quiet if you want your SI job to last.

Sir, understand this. I started your son's case as an accident,

but that shameless boy—

Raghu!

Sir, he destroyed a girl's life.

You may have just one case, but I have many.

I'll take my leave.

Senthil, bring the vehicle.

- Good morning, Your Honour. - Good morning. Please proceed.

Last November 24...

Regarding the incident, it would be better if

the victim speaks rather than me explaining.

Permission granted.

Saranya…

Your name?

Saranya.

Speak louder. Everyone should be able to hear it, right?

Saranya.

Sai, who is she? Where is the complainant?

She is closely related to this case, Your Honour.

That is why I am starting with her.

Proceed.

Saranya, where were you on the night of November 24? What happened? Tell us.

I'm a trainee doctor at Kesavan sir's hospital.

That day, it was a night shift. I went to the hospital as usual.

There was also an award function.

And my friend Lakshmi was—

These men raped and murdered my friend Lakshmi in front of me.

Objection, my lord.

Sustained.

Your Honour, with your permission, I'd like to question her.

Proceed.

You're saying you witnessed Guna and his friends assault Lakshmi,

and they attacked you too, is that right?

Yes, sir.

Are you really a doctor or an actress? You perform quite well.

Mr. Devanayagan, ask relevant questions.

- Sorry, Your Honour. - It's okay. Carry on.

My lord, can you really believe her?

On that day, my clients weren't even in town, they were in Ooty.

What? Ooty?

All the details are in this file, Your Honour.

And then, this pen drive includes their hotel records.

You see it yourself.

Not just that, on their way back, they met with a major accident.

They were hospitalized and treated for four weeks.

All medical records and accident details are in this file.

The car accident report is in this file.

Girls like this have made a habit of trapping wealthy men and extorting money.

Isn't not?

Sai, any cross question?

Your Honour, even if we assume they're innocent, with their

influence they could claim they were in Ooty or even the USA.

To know the truth, I need to question two people.

Honourable AC Mr. Vetri.

Vetri sir, you investigated the hospital fire on November 24, right?

Yes, sir.

Can you tell us what happened there?

We received information that a girl died in a hospital fire.

When I went to investigate, I found that an electrical leak had caused the fire.

Were the CCTV cameras working?

No, sir. They were destroyed in the fire.

What time did you reach?

Around 2 or 2:30.

Was it 2:00 or 2:30? Be precise.

2:30, sir.

Thank you, sir. You may leave.

Your Honour, next I want to question Mr. Kesavan.

Objection, Your Honour!

What is he asking? Investigate everyone? I don't understand.

- Your Honour. - Objection overruled, Devanayagam.

It's their hospital, right? They should be investigated.

- Kesavan. - Hmm!

Sorry, Mr. Kesavan, when did you receive information about the fire accident?

And when did you go to the hospital?

Around 12 at night.

- I reached within half an hour. - You mean 12:30?

- Right? - Yes.

- Hmm, Mr. Kesavan, you may leave. - Hmm.

My lord, the CCTV system was destroyed in the fire accident before 12:30.

And according to AC Vetri, he confirmed it wasn't working at 2:30 a.m.

But it was active at 1:00 a.m. How?

And here's the evidence.

If it burned at 12:30, how did it work at 1:00?

And after AC checked it, how did he conclude it wasn't working at 2:30 a.m.?

This proves Saranya is telling the truth, and these three are guilty.

The footage was erased to hide the truth.

Wow, wow, wow!

So now you're saying respected people like

Kesavan and AC Vetri are involved in this crime?

Super. You're telling a great story, brother. What a story.

Sir, we've heard many stories.

Now I'll present the truth from her own mouth.

What's your name?

If you already answered, wouldn't you say it again?

Saranya.

Oh!

She's your sister, right? What's her name?

Ramya.

I'm asking her name, Miss Ramya.

I was asking her name.

Yes, Your Honour. Everything she said is a lie. She isn't Saranya, she's Ramya.

No… I'm Saranya.

Don't act, Ramya.

No… I'm Saranya.

What a catch.

Did you see that, sir?

Sir, to prove she's Ramya, all the photos and proof are here.

Her photograph and other documents.

Oh no!

Even twins will have some differences.

Like scars, birthmarks… and if I keep going,

Saranya is left-handed,

while Ramya is right-handed.

Good catch.

Sai, what do you say?

- Your Honour. - Wait.

Look here, open your mouth and speak clearly.

Are you Ramya or Saranya?

I'm Ramya, sir. What happened that day-

That's all, my lord.

My Lord, what is there for me to say?

She admitted she lied.

My Lord, they've wasted your time and fooled everyone.

My Lord… all I said is just a truth.

Lakshmi, the woman claimed to be murdered in this case, was in love with Guna.

At first, Guna only respected her. But slowly, it turned into love.

He himself said it to Lakshmi.

But Lakshmi saw it as a jackpot. She thought she could trap Guna in her web.

I have nothing more to say. My client Guna himself will explain everything.

Guna, tell the court what really happened.

It's true, sir. Lakshmi and I were in love.

Whenever I had free time, I used to visit the hospital.

That's where I met Lakshmi.

But she was the first one to confess her love to me.

I didn't know what to do. I was confused.

But seeing the way she cared, I started liking her too.

So I told her I loved her as well.

After some time, I even though of introducing her to my family.

But then I found out something. She never loved me.

She only loved my background.

And not just that... I came to know she had cheated many men like me.

Lakshmi had done many things that can't even be spoken of openly.

Another man was cheated by Lakshmi too.

I would like to call him for questioning.

Mr. Rajeev...

Please briefly tell the court what happened.

My name is Rajeev. I work as a medical representative.

I met Lakshmi at my workplace.

Not only that... she was the one who proposed to me first.

I accepted it. We were in a relationship for three years.

She even got pregnant twice because of me and had abortions.

Whenever we went out, I was the one who spent money on her.

I cared for her deeply. But suddenly, one day...

she told me she didn't like me anymore.

I didn't know what to do. I begged her a lot, but she didn't care at all.

Eventually, I let it go.

Only later did I find out that she was in love with someone else.

That's when I realized she never loved me. She only loved my money.

I spent so much for her. I don't even know how many others she cheated like this.

Thank you very much, Rajeev. You may leave.

Okay, thank you, sir. Thank you, sir.

By now, Your Lordship must have understood what really happened.

But why was this case reopened again? I would like to clarify that too.

With your permission, I would like to call SI Raghu to the witness box.

Yes, of course.

Tell us, Raghu.

You've been posted here for about three months, right?

Yes, My Lord. It's been three months.

Raghuvaran, who told you to change Lakshmi's

fire accident case into a rape and murder case?

My Lord, it wasn't a fire accident. It was a planned rape and murder.

Fine, leave that aside. They say you and Saranya are in a relationship.

I mean... is that true?

Sir, that's personal. How is that related to this case?

Sorry. You're a sincere officer. I respect that.

Then tell us this. Why did you reopen the case six months after the incident?

You don't know? Or are you thinking about what to say?

Because turning an accidental fire into a rape and murder case takes planning.

You waited for your transfer and then executed your plan.

You falsely blamed Guna, who had done nothing wrong.

And when we investigated why you did all this, we found out the truth.

You thought you could make huge money and settle comfortably in life.

Isn't that right?

Your Honour, he's speaking irrelevantly and diverting the case.

My Lord, the evidence proving that Guna and his two friends

are the accused has already been submitted before the court.

Keep your fabricated evidence. We will prove they are innocent.

Anyway, thank you for your cooperation. You may leave.

Thank you, My Lord.

My Lord, this case is still not over. I would like to call one final witness.

With your permission... Lakshmi's mother.

Please come forward, ma'am.

Greetings, sir.

You are Lakshmi's mother?

Yes, sir.

What's your name?

Chandra.

Tell us... how did your daughter die?

Lakshmi was my younger daughter, sir.

She studied very well. My life revolved around her.

She studied hard and became a doctor, just as she wished.

Oh.

Like every other day, she went to the hospital that day too.

But she didn't return on time.

My heart was pounding in fear, sir.

My daughter couldn't bear even the slightest heat.

Those monsters burned my daughter to death, sir.

Parents send their children out trusting the world, sir.

How could they do something so cruel?

Oh God... my daughter will never come back again.

Ma'am, what did I ask you exactly?

And what are you talking about?

Who told you all these things happened? Tell the court that.

Who said that? Him?

How could you believe everything he said?

Honestly, ma'am. I feel sorry for you.

Why are you talking like a child?

No... Those boys are the ones who burned my daughter alive.

Now even I am beginning to doubt you.

Did they promise to give you a share of the money?

Oh God!

Your Honour, he is speaking disrespectfully to a grieving

mother who came here seeking justice for her daughter.

My Lord, I'm questioning her about an important matter.

Please ask them not to interrupt.

Mr. Sai, please sit down. Do not interrupt the interrogation.

Tell us only this. Why did you reopen the case after six months

instead of filing a petition immediately after her death?

Did they offer you money? How much?

Five lakhs? Ten lakhs? Twenty? Fifty lakhs?

Oh no, sir... why are you talking like this?

How much did they promise you?

Sir, please don't say such things.

Did you educate your daughter to study or to run some other business?

Oh God!

Otherwise tell me... if your daughter had still been alive,

wouldn't she have happily continued taking money from many more men like this?

Oh God...

How much money do you want?

Sir, please stop him.

Tell us. How much money do you want?

Sir... you are also someone's parent.

My daughter wasn't that kind of a girl. She wasn't a bad person.

Please don't accuse her like this.

Then how should I speak? Tell me.

Answer me. Tell the truth before this court.

Oh God! why are you speaking like this?

I'll even fall at your feet. I don't want this case anymore.

Please leave me alone, sir. Please spare us. I'm begging you.

I came here believing my daughter would get justice.

But law and justice exist only for people with money.

That's all, Your Lord.

I told you already. They admitted everything themselves.

I rest my case, My Lord.

Don't disgrace her.

This is exactly why I warned you, Raghu.

That poor woman lost her daughter, and now she's been humiliated because of you.

You spoke so confidently at home earlier. What happened now?

Do you understand now?

Only people with money have real power.

Your law means nothing before them.

They'll keep twisting the truth, crushing people like us under their feet.

What happened to Lakshmi today will happen to me tomorrow.

This system will never change. It'll never end either.

And even then, neither you nor the law will be able to do anything.

That's how things stay silent.

And your law stays silent too.

What, Mr. Raghu?

Didn't you hear the judgment?

Why are you still standing here wasting time?

Get lost.

Come on, let's go.

You idiot.

Raghu!
