Hurry up!

Careful...watch your step

- Lead the way - Quick

Why have you brought us to this school?

Hey! We won't have any raid here and we don't have to rent a room

We can have fun happily

You attend to your job and we will focus on the work we came for

We can drink under that tree

Over there? Okay...okay

Come in with me

Bro, clarify this doubt for me

- What? - Out here in the open

In the middle of the night it is so hot and sweaty

- Why is it? - Come closer

Give you 1 tight slap

We drink and sway from side to side, right?

Pour your booze under that tree

That tree will also sway like us

Breeze will blow

No sweat will flow!

Take this

We've bought illicit liquor with great difficulty

You must drink it and sway like us, okay?

I'm pouring it raw Swing your branches soon

'Come soon, da'

I want 1 more question

Hey! What now?

Why is that tree rooted to its spot even after I poured booze into its root?

Hold this

If you mix hooch and beer and water it now

...it will dance like Prabhu Deva!

Go

Hey! Don't feel shy

'I want cool breeze from you like an air conditioner'

Now you will dance

1x2 = ?

Two

2x2=?

Four

Hey Karandi

Hooch and beer

It is standing still and not swinging despite a double dose!

Hit it

You get what you deserve!

He's such a pain in the wrong place, I swear!

I'll be back, dear

Won't let us be in peace!

Hey!

Hey! Why did you push me away?

Some sort of magic, huh?

Hey! Don't

Don't try your tricks on me

Listen to me

Come away

I swear!

- Don't - Trying to scare me!

Hey! Let's escape from here

'Aruvam' [Apparition]

'Few months before'

Aiyo!! It's stinking to high heaven What is the point of holding your noses?

Why can't one of you go in and check?

'Who' is the million $ question!

Someone go and check I want to pee badly

I feel like giving you an earful

Why can't one of the men go in?

You like kindling the fire at the worst of times!

Teacher, shall we both go hand in hand and see?

You are a bigger pain than this stink! Move aside

No one needs to take the trouble

The right person has arrived

Who?

You know 'Anosmic' Jothi

She doesn't have the sense of smell from birth

Let her go in and check We can watch the fun from here

Sir, why are you standing here?

Nothin-

Such a stench from the bathroom

No one is willing to check

I believe you don't have the sense of smell

We thought you could go in, check and let us know the problem

'Bloody she-devil! You told the whole world, huh?'

'You're dead meat!'

Okay, sir

- I'll go in and check - Okay

'The stink is making my intestines somersault!'

You're carrying a dead dog like a new born baby?

Isn't this also a living thing, sir?

I'll call the Corporation department They will send someone to bury it

No need, sir

They will trash this dog with all the other rubbish

I'll do it

Do so before the D.O arrives God bless you, dear

See you

'Only this 'anosmic' Jothi can carry a dead animal'

'We can't even lift a dog that is alive and kicking!'

If I ever have another birth

...I wish to be born only like you

Because your sense of smell is acute

Only I know the emotional trauma I go through with this anosmia

India's future is in the beak of my parrot!

Pick a lucky card for Damodaran who has come in good faith to us

'My dear Sudhandira Devi'

'Don't hesitate'

'Pick one'

'You won't pick without getting your due!'

Kubera the Lord of wealth has come to clear your confusion

From this second every step you take will give you the right break!

You are used to walking in the sidewalk now

You'll be soon whizzing past in a Benz car in style next month

Hereafter you-

You can go now Pay me, I say

Good morning, madam Please sit down

- How much for parrot astrology? - Rs 20

How much is the parrot?

'Whaaat?!'

- This parrot is not for sale - Then I won't spare you

Born with 6 senses and you're torturing a bird that has only 3 senses

'Lying through your teeth'

'Wretched fellow! You feed one single grain and mint money'

Aren't you ashamed of yourself?

Poor thing! Not knowing its future it got stuck with a brute like you

You use it to predict other people's future, huh?

If you have the guts, why don't you go in for 'tiger astrology' instead?

'- Good lord! - Can you?'

Even if you do, will you be able to get any sucker?

Moron! Blockhead!!

You've named her 'Goddess of Freedom' and you have her caged like this, idiot!

Freedom doesn't apply only for humans

Meant for all living things

My dear Sudhandira Devi

Why are you spoiling my livelihood?

You're torturing a life and taking the spoils!

Instead of that you can-

"In that single sweeping glance of hers"

"She uprooted me; for better or worse"

"In that breezy bewitching glance of hers"

'Mother Teresa Old Age Home'

"For better or worse she uprooted me of course"

"Like one who heard the national anthem"

"She made me stand still like the phantom"

"My stride is so light I fly like the dust in delight"

"I smile to myself, in a smitten spree like the cat that ate the yellow canary!"

"I walk with a rush of adrenalin renewed I am on cloud 9 even in solitude"

"You and I make 'we' 1 soul and 1 body"

"In my nerves and veins a new chemistry"

"Like a gale, blood gushes in every artery"

"This is warfare In love, all is fair"

"This is a sound, a roar My heart in uproar"

"Makes me lose control Body, mind, heart & soul"

"With a deliberate plan I'll circle you in this lifespan"

"In that enchanting glance of hers"

"She uprooted me; for better or worse"

'Aroma of fish gravy soooper!'

'I don't know what this is'

"A sweet cyclone stormed into me My atoms doubled in my besotted body"

"My heartbeat tripled quirkily Second & minute quadrupled quickly"

"Her eyes like ambrosia shine divine Love chants the 5th Veda sublime"

"You are also not a girl in stature You are energy, 6th element of nature"

"Knowingly I lose myself in glimpses of her Unknowingly I liquefy, crystal clear"

"As I need you right now I search for you high and low"

"In my nerves and veins a new chemistry"

"Like a tempest, blood gushes in my artery"

Okay, next

Okay

- Why are you sprinkling water? - This is rose water!

Why do you sprinkle it like water?!

"This is warfare In love, all is fair"

"This is a sound, a roar My heart in uproar"

"Makes me lose control Body, mind, heart & soul"

"With a deliberate plan I'll circle you in this lifespan"

Hello...what?

Amazing...soooper!

Not just you All your good deeds

I know

It is atrocious on my part to talk to you in the middle of the road like this

Unfair actually

In a nutshell I'm going overboard

But I really like you very much

Shall we get married?

You aren't saying a word

Did I say something drastically wrong?

Of course it is wrong

That too asking this of a mother of 2 kids is a crime!

Wait, mummy is coming

For housewives like me

...dropping and picking our kids from school is our only freedom

And you had the gall to

'...put a spoke in my wheel!'

Wait...wait

'Mummy is here Shall we go home?'

'Get up Let's go'

- 'Why so late?' - 1st listen to me

Very interesting scene today

I was walking back after my service as usual

One silly idiot was following me

Not knowing I turned left and he was right behind me

And then...?

Within few minutes into our conversation he wanted to know if we could get married!

I was shell-shocked

I almost thought he would take out our wedding chain from his pocket!

Over-enthu idiot!

Guess what I did

- I'm your blood, right? - Naturally!

'Listen, bro, I'm already married I am the mother of 2 kids'

As soon as I said 'amma' you should have seen his face

Was it this face?

Divya, isn't this the 'mummy' you saw there?

- Yes - Aiyo!

I blew it big time, huh?

You've told all the lies you could think of

I've been as truthful as possible

I've even decided he's my son-in-law

His name is Jagan

If he needs an introduction he is height of purity!

We studied together in a traditional Hindu school

'We have no family of our own'

I am there for him He is there for me

If you agree we can add you and your family

What else can one ask for?

Pa, how can you decide as soon as you see-

You've got it all wrong

I liked you the moment I saw you

But without your permission I can't dream of you or us, right?

That's why I wanted to talk to you in person

I need to talk to him in total privacy

By all means go ahead

Even I spoke to him for an hour He is very friendly

All those prospective grooms who came to see you

You gave them hell on our terrace That won't work with him

Go, get to know him Go up, my dear boy

I am not interested in getting married

Why?

As far as my dad is concerned my wedding is his lifetime dream

But I feel it is an event that should never happen in my life

Your father told us about your plight

But I don't think it is such an issue to refuse marriage altogether

You won't understand my problem

You need a lot of tolerance to take me as your wife

You may put up with me in the beginning

But doubtful if it will last a whole lifetime

A wife should be a long term life partner

Not a lifelong burden

Besides all this I don't want to be the reason for losing another dear one

'Maaa...?'

Her slippers are missing

As usual gone to the market today also, huh?

'Thank God! I can watch TV without you cribbing about it'

"College books for certain heavy as a mountain"

"Sex bomb is she Lift her and see"

"Ladies hostel's statue pretty"

"Wax doll in a lovely nighty"

[song from 'Chocolate']

'Rock on!'

"Wax doll dashing Glam doll ravishing"

Aiyo! Gone?

I can't be happy even for a short while

As if I don't have an option!

Jothi?

'Are you back from school?'

Wretched female!

I'm the girl who killed her mother without even knowing!

I can't protect whoever is with me

Also my ambition is to serve people in need

Whether I live like Mother Teresa or not I must at least follow her footsteps

In order to be of use to some people

I don't like asking permission

By 'permission' I meant leading my life on my husband's terms

1 second

The reason you don't want to get married

Your lack of sense of smell or the need to serve the needy

Let me tell you once more

I like you very much

But you're in a very confused stage in your life

It's okay, one day your confusion will lead to clarity

I'll feature in your dream that night, hmm?

If you dream about me let me know through your dad

See you

Miss Jothi

I feel destiny will unite us for sure

We'll see

What did your teacher say?

I've read angels are fools

I saw that in person

I'll turn her around!

Yes

Byeeee!

'Hi Jothi'

'Unpardonable on my part to follow you without your permission'

'I am sorry'

'But you're enjoying these photos'

'I feel like repeating my mistake all over again just for that'

'Hello...look here'

'I am really serious I've made up my mind'

'If there is a life partner for me it can only be you'

'If you don't agree even after this'

'...hereafter I'll always be all alone in solitude'

'I have decided Your call now'

Dad here, did you see the video my son-in-law has sent?

Simply superb

'Isn't he really smart? I was so-'

Hang up, Mr Fraud!

'Drunkard!'

- Drunk as a skunk - Okay...okay

I agre-

"No complaints have I My lord Krsna"

"I lack nothing in life, Kanna"

Hello, dear, isn't this the 7th week of your vow?

Your vow ends on this auspicious 'Festival of lights' evening

'I'm sure this Goddess will grant your wish'

- Thanks, akka - Okay, dear

"No complaints have I My lord Krsna"

Girls my age will usually wish for a good groom

But my wish is I should never get married

No one should suffer because of me

Somehow change my dad's mind

And Jagan who follows me like a shadow Somehow change his heart too please

Look! Her sari has caught fire!

My dear girl, I saw your sari catch fire and I screamed my throat hoarse

Didn't you hear me?

Not with the sound of crackers and the temple bell

How could she not even sense the burning smell of her sari?

There are so many oil lamps lit all over the place

Difficult to sense with all these wicks burning

I hope you realize Lord Shiva has come in the form of this dear boy and saved you

Whatever happened is for your own good

At least now do you realize, Jothi?

You need someone to protect you

I'm not advising you because I saved you

I want you to be able to protect yourself

Then it's up to you

'Today...'

Even if there's a bathroom near the gate for me to pee

In such an open atmosphere

In a free manner with fresh breeze blowing

'Why shouldn't I relieve myself under this tree in total bliss?'

'A light sprinkle'

What bliss! Unexplainable

Hey silence!

When I pee I should hear only the swish of urine!

Choo-choo!

I swear I'll thrash the life out of you

Don't drag me

Don't beat me

Aiyo!

The blows have stopped

You are still standing below!

This is so different

What happened here? Open your mouth and speak up

'Why blurt out the truth and pee in fright whole day?'

Why don't you tell me?

After we unloaded the stock, I locked the room and gave him the key

I kept that key in your room and locked your room, sir

Then who created this havoc?

Even if it was a thief he'll steal the stuff

Will he break everything and leave?

Who is the intruder?

'If you knew who dropped in you would be dripping like me!'

O' watchman! What were you up to when all this happened last night?

- Sir - Just shut up!

You are the main culprit

At night you get piss drunk and pass out

I have been receiving so many complaints

'You won't say this if you knew the value of liquor!'

If the D.O questions me who will answer him?

Who will take the responsibility?

We have no other go

Listen to me, till we get the next load for the canteen

...all of you pitch in from your salary and buy groceries of good quality

Do not pay this watchman his entire salary!

Dammit!

Instead of exorcising the ghost he is pinching my pocket!

God knows what other tricks 'it' has in store!

Hold the cup properly

I've seen all the teachers bring a variety of food from home

You sit with the kids and eat

I feel so proud

- Thanks - It's alright

Aayamma, egg for me

This egg is the burning issue now

This is the mark of a good teacher

Eat, children

She tastes it first and then tells them This works in our favor too

Teacher, I know you don't like egg, right?

This is also for you

Why are you called 'Egg' Murthy?

When my mother was expecting me she never used to eat properly

So my legs went wonky

Only if I eat well, I can have babies like you grown-ups do?

Ask her why she is called 'Nutrition' Sandhya?

How did you get that nickname?

Daily I'll take rice in 3 tiffin boxes, teacher

I'll eat this box now

I'll eat this rice for dinner

I'll pour water in this and eat it for breakfast tomorrow

My mother is a single parent and we have a loan of 500000 to repay

We are repaying our loan by saving on food expenses

Only this noon meal scheme is my food

Take your mother to a hotel and eat a good meal today

You are the one who educates me

I don't want to take money from you, teacher

Hereafter no one should call anyone by a nickname

Your name is Murthy

Your name is Sandhya

- Heard me? - Okay, teacher

'Teacher, headmaster wants to see you'

Tell him I'm coming

May I come in, sir?

Yes, please

Come in, Jothi

Question papers have to be prepared for the exams next week

If I entrust this job to the other teachers

...they will give this after our students leave school and get a job!

You are a perfectionist

Without minding the late hours of work

'...finish this entire task so I can check everything in the morning'

[school bell clangs]

'It' has come to taunt me again

I don't know what will be the next catastrophe!

Let me make the 'great escape'!

'Get up Please get up'

Help!!

'Help...help!'

'That girl saved you'

Thank you, dear

Where was the fire?

Are you alright?

My dear child

Why did you come down?

Why did you come down, dear?

I knew, pa

You knew?!

- How did you know? - I realized, pa

That's what I'm asking you

How did you realize?

Did you smell the wire burning?

Is that the smell of burning wire, pa?

Er...1 minute

Here...smell this and tell me

Smell it

I'm in two minds Like it and I don't, pa

Smell these flowers

Inhale properly

- This is a pleasant smell - How?

Fragrant, pa

My dear child

Now...now you have the sense of smell, dear

Aiyo!

You can smell and identify now

You've got over your anosmia

"From earth to sky, far and near a festive fragrance in the atmosphere"

"Without asking me permission duly my nostrils learnt a new language truly"

"Fullstop to ridicule and mockery My woes flew out of my window in a hurry"

"Euphoria engulfed me instead A new chapter of joy, so it said"

"Hurdles crossed, I climbed steps high Wings sprouted; today I fly up to the sky"

"Over-riding Fate, finding new ways A stronger heart now in place"

"From earth to sky, everywhere breath-taking scents now I'm aware"

You've wearing a men's cologne?

"Without asking me permission really my nostrils learnt a new language readily"

How did she know?

Jothi teacher is getting prettier by the day, even more than me?

Students, before I open my eyes in the flash of a second

...those who haven't showered or not washed their uniforms, get up

So many of you?

Yes, teacher

- Why? - Teacher

What?

You know what my mother said?

As if your teacher will get the sense of smell!

Teacher, do you know what my mother said?

Please, I don't want to know

I'm not teaching you in this room today

Let's go to the playground

'Children are talking to God Do not desecrate here'

"My goodness! I look down I see my feet with a mind of their own"

"100 curious sparrows gather around"

"Hip hip hurray! Even school is closed today"

"Following Malala's footsteps I serve No limit to my happiness curve"

"Dear me! Happiness blindfolds me"

"My wish list dances to a folk tune melody"

"Service to the needy with love daily we will earn a fat salary dutifully"

"A good deed a day, even several will make our lives extra special"

"Come here More the merrier"

"Roads in Chennai spic & span, sparkling like a sari with a zari border dazzling"

"My mind jumps beyond its limit in zest like a bull winning a 'jallikattu' contest"

'Konar Tamil Guide Grade 7'

Gawd! Thank God!

Narrow escape

'Traders & Construction Workers Union leader Mr Mahadevan'

'...was found dead this morning in the most brutal manner'

'Cause of death unknown'

'A thorough investigation is being conducted now'

'Mr Sanyasa Murthy Central Minister for Health'

'...is expected any moment here'

Sir, the deceased Mr Mahadevan is your close friend

What is the likely reason for his death?

Ladies shouldn't come near him, move aside

- Sir - What happened?

Sir, I interrogated everyone

Ramalingam the mason who works here found the deceased

We have summoned all the workers and we are interrogating them now

We are confused if his death was an accident or murder, sir

We are inquiring, sir

'First class! He'll look at all this'

'But not give even a second glance to the people who voted for him'

If you look at the fear in his eyes

...he wasn't scared of death He was petrified of the killer!

Confirmed, this is murder

Sir, it can't be just 1 killer for sure

I don't care if there was 1 killer too many

Within 12 hours I want that scoundrel in my office

He didn't pass 5th grade and he is ordering a police official

This is politics for you!

That's a deadly deadline! What do we do now, sir?

What we normally do

'Check the CCTV footages in the neighborhood'

'Minister's house? Come again?'

There isn't any footage, sir

No footages in north and south, sir

No footages in east and west either, sir

What are you saying? That minister will hack us!

Sir, it seems someone has killed the minister!

'Mortuary'

How did my brother die?

He has been murdered after his yoga routine, when he was praying

As per the post mortem report

...he has been strangled by his own sacred bead chain

There is no evidence of intervention by any outsider

Even in the CCTV footage

...10 minutes before your brother and Mahadevan were together

...connection was lost completely

There is some connection between the 2 murders

I checked more than once

Haven't got a single evidence

'Is that so?'

Give me that photo

Look at this

'Someone has fallen into his trap'

- Yov! How did you omit this? - Sorry, sir

- I'll call forensic at once - Call them in right now

So much of confusion

Very rare case

Actually the density of this footprint

...fits neither a man nor a woman

I don't understand

Usually when a man walks even if he weighs 35 kg

...the impression will be heavy

In the case of a woman

...even if she weighs 85 kg the foot impression will be light

- But both densities are mixed in this - Then?

Do you mean a transgender?

Good question To be precise

...based on the raw cut leg impression

...cutting to a micro millimeter range

And patching everything

I need to match the density to be able to say anything

So give me a couple of days

I'll finish my tour and tell you all my findings

Bye...bye, bro

You're dead meat

Tour, huh?

- Tell me, sir - No violence, please

Dai! Do you know the value of 2 days?

I swear I don't know, sir

- 2 days before - I'll do it, sir

Those who were alive are dead all of a sudden!

Do it immediately

Aw! So sweet

- Happy Teacher's day - Thanks

Didn't I tell you?

Destiny will unite you and me

Coffee...

...without sugar, sir

Don't think I asked you out for coffee and I am talking nonstop

I never regretted the fact I had no parents

Because I've never seen them

But I saw you

If you weren't in my life

I will regret it very much

Because, Jothi

I've seen a certain kind of life

I've lived life to the fullest But everything seems different now

Then

...you got back your sense of smell

So won't I occupy your mind and heart?

100% I will

You can call me whenever you feel like talking to me

Bye

Aiyo...! Just a dream?

'I really like you very much'

'I feel destiny will unite us for sure'

Dad, I'm attending Ramya's wedding and I'll eat there

- Bye - Jothi

When will we serve your wedding feast?

That...shouldn't you be the one to decide, dad?

Really?

Yes, pa

All the prospective grooms who came only looked at my disability

Some of them eyed what little wealth we have accumulated

But it was only Jagan

...who understood clearly I was in a confused state of mind

My dear princess! This is enough for me

I'll take care of everything Go and have fun

God! You answered my prayer!

'Footprint's density confirms the killer to be a transgender, sir'

Sir, just as you suspected this is a lady's strand of hair

I don't know all that

Who is she?

How does she look? Where can we find her?

Is it possible to trace her face, based on this hair strand?

Impossible, sir

No such technology is available in India

- No one can do it - It can be done, sir

- How? - 1st time in the world

Someone has invented this 3 years ago

They are called information artists

They can certainly trace the person based on the item he or she uses

How?

From cigarette butts used by humans

From the gum chewed and spat out

...they have proved the face can be drawn through DNA tests

- Where are they? - In the U.S, sir

These Americans are true 'brainboxes'!

This technique was invented by an Indian, sir!

Is she the owner of that strand of hair?

Yes, of course, 100 %

Take this photo Link it with Aadhar card

And bring her here, boys

Right away!

Tell me

What is your link with my men?

Why did you kill them?

TELL ME!

I swear I don't know I am a teacher

I don't even harm the smallest of insects

I haven't killed anyone

I don't know

Are you taking your lesson here, huh?

I know you killed my men

I have proof of every move you made

Tell me Why did you kill?

I don't know

It's okay if you kill me

I can tell only if I am the killer

I haven't killed anyone

I will never commit that sin

It shouldn't be done either

Showing off your acting skill?

She won't budge if we ask her gently

Strip her from head to toe and check her out in her birthday suit

Then she will break down

'Hey, look over there'

Bro...!

She is here

Where are you trying to hide?

You can't escape from us

- Hey! What's up? - Don't know, bro

Go and check

Who...who are you?

Don't you know?

Who?

- Don't you recognize me? - Who are you?

You...didn't you di...die?

It is 32 days since I died, man

I...didn't-

Don't hurt me

I am the one who killed your men

I'll kill your remaining rogues too

Please spare me

No...don't Let me go

Don't

Don't kill me

Is anybody here?

Can't someone hear me? Who is here?

Please tell me Who is here?

'With Love Jagan'

Jagan!

'Amazing...soooper!'

'If there is a life partner for me it can only be you'

'If you don't agree even after this'

'...hereafter I'll always be all alone in solitude"

'I should stand before you as a human'

'Wondering why I am an apparition like this?'

'Do you know what happened, Jothi?'

Brother, 1 glass tea

Brother, won't you give it in my hand?

Did it spill? Drink it

Brother, you're rinsing the glass in that dirty water?

Can't you wash it in fresh water?

- Stinking - Yov!

Don't bug me in busy hours

I'll splash hot water on your face, get lost!

You could use that hot water to rinse the glass

Brother, why don't you mind your business, drink your tea and go instead of arguing?

Every tea shop has a preacher like this!

I'll deal with you later

Aiyayo...yov!

Yov! Didn't you find any other place to spit?

You spat on my boss's car!

What is the problem here?

He has been creating a scene from when he came here

I didn't create any ruckus, bro

Hold this

You own this shop, right?

Your business is doing well, right?

You charge Rs 10 for tea, bro

Wages Rs 2 and investment Rs 3

You make a solid profit of Rs 5 per glass How many people drink tea?

He's rinsing the glass in the same dirty water

Can't even take a sip Tea powder is 3rd grade quality

Okay, bro Forget that

These fritters are edible items, right?

Why can't you keep them in a closed glass box?

Won't the dust from the road settle on the 'bhajjis'?

Spend Rs 10 on fritters and you want me to fritter away Rs 100 on a doctor?

I commented on the lack of hygiene

Is that a crime?

Look at this painter-mongrel wagging his tongue!

If you let your tongue run

...I'll call the jeep to haul you behind bars, shut up and get lost!

What a coincidence!

I am here to shut, bro

But you don't have to call any vehicle to haul me, I'll handle it

Want to watch?

This tea master is not clean He isn't wearing a hygiene cap

No glass racks for the snacks No 'No smoking' board

This tea powder is adulterated

SEAL IT!

Know whom you're pitting against?

You think I'll be scared if you seal this shop?

I'm the leader of Tea Shop Owners' Union

I own 152 shops in Chennai alone

I've seen many officers like you

Within an hour I'll reopen this shop

Want to watch?

Not only this tea stall then

Seal all the 152 shops owned by him

Tell them you obeyed Jagannathan's orders Asst. Commissioner, Food Safety department

Let me see who has the guts to reopen the shops

Get lost!

Painter, write that number plate properly

Bro, from tomorrow look for another job

Sir, is it you? Your disguise is too good

Why are you late?

- Delayed because of a good deed - What did you do?

- There was an accident - Went to the hospital?

Took a video, uploaded in Facebook and commented 'feeling sad'

I've tagged you as well, sir

Pick up the cycle and items, find your way to the office

Sir

Sir, they will...I have to-

'Entire world lives in FB As if I am the only one!'

Sir, yesterday was tea shop Where is our raid today?

No raid today I'm hungry

Shall we stop to eat on the way?

Hey Sorimuthu, are you hungry?

'Past 2 days, didn't even get a glass of water and he asks me this!'

- Muthu, I was talking to you - I've been starving past 2 days, sir

Okay, decide where we can eat

I know this hotel 'Only Sambar' nearby Shall we go there, sir?

'Hotel Ravi Vilas'

Sambar rice is famous here, sir

Look at the crowd even at this hour

I buy from here everyday

Do you pay?

Sir, they won't accept even if I pay

Sir, be seated, I'll bring Self service here

I hope you intend paying

'Then what? Show off my charisma?'

If all of you ask at the same time? Stand in a queue, sir

Sir, move aside Please wait

What an aroma!

'Please wait, sir'

Who wants this!

Both of you go and buy your lunch

Sir, I'm not in the habit of praying before eating

- You can pray - CHARGE!

We didn't come here to eat? Only 'searching', huh?

Sir, wash basin is outside

You aren't allowed in here

Sorry, sir

Where do you buy your grocery?

- Sir - Answer my question

- WHERE DO YOU BUY THE LENTILS? - Immanuel Agency

- Don't tell him - He already did

'Immanuel Agency'

What do you mix in this?

As mentioned on the label

Ghee dhal

We are Food Safety officers

Tell me the truth

Oh! Officer, huh?

Then I have to be 100% honest

We mix only animal fat

That adds to the taste

Even your department is well aware of this

Wretched fellows! You adulterate with animal fat?

Everybody is claiming it is finger-licking good!

Advertise it is 'ghee dhal' and then mixing tallow to it

Isn't it wrong?

What is wrong in that, huh?

- Where is ghee sourced? - Butter ball!

- Hey! - I wasn't swearing at you!

Milk the cow, ferment it as curd and extract butter from-

Why should I tell all this to you?

Take my usual 'grease' I pay your colleagues and clear out

I'm not in the habit of taking

I'm used to only 'giving'!

How dare you touch me?!

Your next destination is hospital

That is exactly where we are heading!

SEAL IT!

'Government Hospital Canteen'

Wait, grandma

- Sorimuthu - Sir

Can you see the expiry date?

23-5-1983

Company was opened on that date!

Unwanted details are printed crystal clear

But expiry date has been deliberately blurred

Bring the packet and come with me

50-150-250-350-450-55-

Tell me this loaf's expiry date

Can't you read it yourself?

It isn't clear

- 150, 250 - Will you read it out for me?

Why are you disturbing me?

It's printed there Why can't you check?

Hey! That's his job!

Why are you glaring? We are from Food Safety department

Sir...!

Good-for-nothing oafs!

Are you blurring the expiry date to mislead the public?

Same with all the packs, sir

Bread is the only item poor patients can afford

You are selling it after it gets stale?

Shelf life of a loaf of bread is only 4 days

If consumed after 10 days

...what is the plight of the patient?

He will get admitted in the same hospital

Your business can flourish, right?

- No, sir - Who is the contractor for the canteen?

- Sir? - Who is this canteen's contractor?

Have you stuffed your mouth with bread or what?

Dean of this hospital, sir

Don't point your finger at me

I'll lose my job if you do, sir

Your job is not the only one that goes for a toss!

Muthu, are you in the venue?

Just as you instructed, sir In front of the factory

Observe if any vehicle is exiting?

Yes, sir Eicher van

- Right, follow the vehicle - Okay, sir

Where are you?

Sir, reached Porur from Ambattur

Copy that, don't lose his trail

'Sir, the van is crossing Velachery'

'At this rate looks like he'll take me to Kanyakumari!'

Muthu, come what may don't lose him

Keep following him

Sir, driver has turned into a dump yard

'Wait till the van dumps the garbage'

I'm better off dumping garbage with this chap than sticking to you like glue

Sir, he drove away after dumping the junk

Sir...hello?

Phone switched off, huh?

He yells 'charge' wherever we go

And doesn't charge his own mobile

Muthu!

I didn't say that The admin chap said so

Next movement, sir

- Sift through that garbage - Sir, I am an officer

- I'm your senior officer - Then let's rag-pick together!

Sir

Why have they broken the barrel like this?

This serves as water tank in many households

They store rice in my house

This will easily fetch Rs 2000 to 3000

That's why my 'doubt' antenna is up!

Muthu, check if you can find any other piece like this

Sir, were you looking for this?

Formalin

Why does a food company need Formalin?

- Muthu - 'Understood, sir'

Cutting cutting, bro?

Shall we share a cutting?

- '90' - Get lost

- 95 - Cutting?

- Want a cutting? - 105

All gone in...every single drop

- Shut up - I won't zip my lips!

- Cutting? - Won't let you close down the shutters

1st zip the obvious!

Look, shop won't be shut whoever says, not just you!

That's what I want

- That's what I also want - Okay, go

Cutting

- Hey, cutting - Boss

I need a cutting too, boss

- Short by 10 bucks - Don't worry

- I was waiting for you - Thanks, boss

Levying GST tax even for chickpea salad?

- Our country is going to the dogs - Brother, know what's GST?

- You tell me - Goods and Services Tax

- That means? - He gave us a bottle of booze

- Don't we tip him in appreciation? - Yes

That's Goods and Services Tax

You explained it brilliantly

This is how it should be told

No one knows to explain clearly

Booty can be a penny more or less Booze is counted by the drop regardless

Pour more booze to sir, Muthu

- Only then he'll get high - Who are you, mister?

He'll give you company from now

Forget who I am

Do you know who you are?

A microbiology student

A gold medalist at that

Drawing a salary of Rs 75000 a month in a food product company

'If you want, you can easily afford to drink in a star hotel'

But you trashed your job

And begging for a cutting in front of a wine shop like this

- Aren't you ashamed? - How do you know about me, sir?

Of course I feel ashamed, sir

...to have worked for such a company!

Hard work and integrity won't do, sir

Boss should uphold these values

Instead of working in that factory I would rather sell my soul here

In the food product factory where you worked

- What is the need for Formalin? - Why only Formalin?

Sir, shall we settle the bill?

Settle the bill

And seal the bar

When did this happen?

'Goodness gracious!'

Excuse me Stop right there

Who are you, sir? How did you come here?

We took a right at Kannagi statue and 3rd left at the temple

Next?

Food safety officers!

Is it your guest house for you to visit once a week?

You tested only last week Checked the milk we use

And certified us

What is your issue again?

Arun?

This was given by AIIMS

This is certificate from Pune

And this was given by your very own department

You have any other issue contact these firms

Not necessary at all

Subramani

Hey! Didn't I sack you?

- Why are you here? - He's here with a purpose

Sir-

Sir, I'll talk to my boss

Jackass! Jammer is on Your call won't go through

Didn't you hear what I just said?

- Subramani? - Sir

Sir, I need my boss's permission to let you check all this

- I'm very sorry - Muthu

No one can stir out till we know the adulterated components in this milk

Get to it

Subramani, are you ready?

'- Ready, sir - What is mixed in this milk?'

Melamine is mixed in this milk to enhance protein content

- Melamine means? - Melamine is a chemical

When 1 liter of milk is diluted to 4 liters

...protein level reduces

To show more protein content melamine has been mixed in the milk

Next

Mixed urea to improve the density of milk, sir

That too, twice the approved dosage

Normally only 70 mg is permissible in 100 ml

But this contains 200 mg, sir

Urea

Urea shouldn't be used even for crops

Imagine this for consumption-

- What else is mixed? - Sir

Caustic soda has been mixed for viscosity

Yov! You've mixed caustic soda in milk?

What will alcoholics do then?

What is caustic soda?

Tell me, da

De...detergent

Used for cleaning toilets and rinsing clothes

Mixing it in milk to get extra froth?

Next

Formalin is mixed as a preservative for this milk, sir

Formalin

Formalin!

Formalin!!

Do you know what Formalin is used for?

To embalm a dead body

It is fatal to even sniff this chemical

How dare you mix it in milk consumed by children

Sir...sir

'Sir, on the whole'

This isn't milk It's slow poison

Milk is used as a funerary ritual

But you are preparing milk to send people to an early grave!

Rascal

Round up all of them

Hey! Stop

'Grab him'

Hey! Stop

Sir...don't

Don't hit me

Let me go, sir

'At least now do you realize, Jothi?'

'I want you to be able to protect yourself'

Sir

The entire evidence is safe, sir

I'll be in the office in 10 minutes

Sir

Well done, my dear boy

'You've proved you are my junior'

Public is only aware of...

...police, law enforcement and engineering departments

But you've made people realize the existence of Food Safety department

I hope you have all the proof

Allow me, sir

His name is Mahadevan

Leader of the Vendors' Union

'Also heads Tamil Nadu Tea Shop Owners Union'

When we tested tea samples from his shop...

...we found Abin mixed in their tea

What is the source of this tea with opium?

'Dinesh Menon'

'Prominent tea estate owner in Kerala'

'Generally only if a tea plant grows for 10-12 years...'

'...strength, flavor, taste will be in the right proportion'

But if the same tea plant is cultivated in 2 or 3 years

And the leaves plucked as early as possible

Strength, flavor and taste

None of these will be present

To ensure consumers get addicted to a non-flavorsome product

...Abin is being mixed, sir

Drinking this will lead to medical complications

Most importantly

Bowel cancer!

'His name is Daniel Christopher'

Owner of Clean Water Company

6 liters of water per day can cure 40000 diseases in your body

But if you drink the 'pure' drinking water packaged by this company

'...you'll get 4 million new diseases!'

You won't see the water bottles prepared this way in all the stores

'Only in places where large crowds commute'

'In these water bottles address and other details are all fake'

He is Vikram Jeyaraj

He's an influential business man in both private and public sectors

Health minister's only brother

Sky is the limit for this man misusing the minister's influence

But his favorite business

Cooking oil!

Everyone is aware excess oil is bad for health

'But if his oil is used we found out'

'...consumer's lifeline will reduce drastically'

Reason being it isn't even refined oil

Recycled oil!

If you reuse this inferior oil even 50 times, the color won't change

Looks like it is brand new

That's why tar has been mixed in it!

No problem if you use this oil just once

But that happens only in 5 star hotels

We tracked this oil after the 1st usage

'It makes a roundabout way to all the tea stalls'

Oh no!

Other than cooking oil he has another major business

Poultry farm

'In almost 50 acres of land'

'It takes about 3-4 months for a chicken to be bred to maturity'

'Only then it is healthy'

'But the fowls in his poultry farm'

'...are injected with an antibiotic called colistin'

'In just 48 days they grow to weigh 3 kg'

'This abnormal breeding leads to varied medical complications'

Especially if young girls eat this

...they will attain puberty between 7 and 10 years

Not being aware of the reactions and repercussions

...they are subjected to periods every month and in the end

...they get cancer in their uterus

'Their next business'

'Most essential commodity, milk'

I have evidence and details of adulteration of milk by them, sir

Based on that, I sealed their main production plant yesterday

'Hybrid banana that never gets spoilt'

'Apples that have been polished Wax coated paper cups'

'Steamed 'idli' in plastic covers'

'Dog's meat passed off as mutton The list is endless, sir'

Gone are the days of the adage 'Food is medicine; medicine is food'

We are in the crossroads of eating wrong food and frequenting pharmacies

I'll abolish adulteration

Cancer...cancer!

Today cancer is no longer a disease

Business!

That's why I sealed those firms

I'm saying this out of my experience, Jagan

I've never seen such an honest officer like you

We shouldn't let go of any of them

Let these firms be sealed

I'll produce the culprits in court and handle whatever legal action required

Give me whatever evidence you've collected

Why, sir?

So you can hand it over to the concerned people?

Just by sniffing I can tell whether the product is poisoned or pure

You are my senior officer

I can judge by just seeing your face

Having sealed so many firms and stores...

...I was wondering why I never received a single call from you

Not even the slightest resistance from the wrong doers puzzled me

Only that day I came to know

You are hand in glove with them

You wanted me to hand over all the evidences on a platter to you?

I showed this video only because I thought seeing these evidences you'll reform

Even now if you don't want to reform

I'm sorry to say this, sir

No one can save you either

Try to save yourself if you can, moron!

None of you will ever reform, right?

What, da?

Being educated and an officer you thought I won't hit you?

Hey, what do you want?

Torturing us for no reason

You have all gathered at the right venue

You had better surrender

As soon as they knew it was my firm the officers were scared stiff

Do you know why?

Because they all had families

You don't have a family

That's why you are fearless

But you are still breathing

I'm not bothered about that

Let me repeat

Better accept your crime and surrender

Otherwise your generation will consume the same poison you are manufacturing!

Our generation won't eat But will force it down their throats!

Today, this commissioner Tomorrow, supreme court judge

State and Central ministers support us

We'll fling such cases and walk away, we care a damn

You can fling the cases away

Even if you do so, the video I've uploaded on WhatsApp about you is trending now

I've broken the trust people had in your product

This isn't the 1st time such a video has gone viral online

People will view it and forward it

No one will follow

On top of it, if you find silly faults with my business

And seal my company

...I'll start another company under a different name in the same building

'I'll change the logo'

'Change the packaging'

'I'll change the color inside'

I'll advertise differently

And make people buy my product all over again!

The same product which you claimed was adulterated will still be intact!

If not that, we'll showcase a big board claiming it is 'Organic'

We'll make people pay extra 10 bucks to vie and buy our stuff

That won't work as long as I'm here

As long as people are unable to curb their desires, everything will happen

This is wrong, Daniel

You are mixing poison in food to satisfy your greed

First accept you are wrong

What is a mistake according to you?

We have caught, roasted and eaten mice from the fields

Today people have a varied fare of chicken 65, chicken tikka, chicken burger

'People who had 'idli' and 'dosa' only for Deepavali and Pongal...'

...have access to tasty recipes daily

As soon as they wake up...

...people who had rice porridge and diluted millet stew

...today consume different energy powders

They mix it in different colors and drink with my milk!

This is growth

Milk was consumed only by the rich earlier

But today...

...even a homeless person can buy a milk packet for Rs 10

If you want all strata of society to benefit

...adulteration is the only answer

India's population is 1.32 billion

Is it possible to give pure stuff to everyone?

One who was starving yesterday is eating well and happy today

Instead of eating quality food and living to a ripe old age of 80

...let him eat what he likes

And die happily at 40!

What's your problem?

I'll put a fullstop to this once and for all

I'll educate people about adulteration

If we let you go today 100 others will follow you

Tomorrow it will increase to 1000 So you must die

Even now, betel leaf seller

'...to department store owners are waiting'

For you to die

Come outside We'll tackle you

Send him out I'll kill him

[clamor of angry voices]

Did you hear that?

You will meet our end only in our hands

Why waste time talking? Bash him and kill him

Don't spare him Finish him

- Kill him - Don't spare him

'Jagan, quick'

'Where is he?'

Nab him

'Start the car Let's go...move'

Why are you piling one mistake on another?

Is it wrong to ask them not to add poison to food?

Yes, it's wrong

Because no one is ignorant

People are aware it is poison

He sells the poison and gives a remedy for it too

One and the same person

Why is everyone stomaching this silently?

It's a question of survival

Today 100 people came

Tomorrow 400 will show up

- Will you hit everyone? - Of course I will

Look, those culprits who followed us are waiting in the next station to kill you

What do you intend doing?

I'm advising you to stay away

Show me a place without adulteration

I'll back off

Aiyo! Such a place doesn't exist!

Listen, even for a good deed you need at least 4 people

I'll be the 1st Good Samaritan in that handful

The other 3 won't show up

You'll be the 1st man and the last as well

Unadulterated food is my dream from childhood

My desire

It will never get fulfilled

'Listen to me'

A good life is waiting for you

Marry Jothi and settle down in life

Trying to convince me using love as a bait?

More than my feelings for that girl

...I love my job 100 times more

Hey, Jagan

Please don't take this path

Listen to me, da

Change your decision

This isn't good for any of us

You too?

We can live together

But we can't die together!

Jagan, if you don't die...

...they have threatened to kill my wife and child

I died the moment you took the knife out

You are the mother for this orphan

I have to die to appease all of you

'I'm someone who believes in unadulterated food'

Will I allow adulteration in my death?

Even now I'm saying

My death is not in their hands

They will breathe their last only in my hands!

Aiyo!

Unadulterated food...

...is my dream from childhood

Hello...?

Where...?

Okay, I'll take care

- Hey! U turn - Yes, bro

Dai, check if he is alive or dead

Pour petrol and burn him

Contaminate the sea with his body!

'To fulfill my goals, I've given up my life'

'Those 3 rogues who turned food into poison to line their pockets'

'I was the one who killed them through you'

Guards...guards!

'Tell me now'

'What I did was right?'

Wrong

Grave blunder!

How can you take away someone's life?

The law will punish the criminals

'Law can't touch them, Jothi'

Am I the pawn?

I'm someone who believes I shouldn't kill even an insect

'That's why I possessed your body'

'You are me'

'I am you!'

'You think like me'

Whatever you say...

...you cannot justify your action

What do you want me to do now?

Go away from me

'No, I won't'

2 more criminals are yet to be punished

I won't allow you to use me to kill 1 more person

I feel repulsed I fell in love with you

'You should not leave this place'

On top of this, if you think of killing 1 more person

...I'll kill myself

I swear on myself

'Don't be hasty, Jothi Listen to me'

'One who mixes poison in food today will do the same to medicines too'

'We should not let them go scot-free'

'You'll have a tough time without me, Jothi'

'Don't leave me here and go, Jothi'

'Listen to me'

If you have the guts, face me

'Do you want to know who I am?'

'Food Safety officer, Jagannathan'

Cool, partner, cool

If he was a human, we can hunt him down and hack him to pieces

But he's now a spirit

We must deal with it differently

Let me take care of that

'Government On Duty'

Sandhya, Jothi teacher hasn't come today?

Don't know I think she is absent

How sad! 1 egg less for me

Ayah, you forgot to serve me egg

It tastes soooper!

Oh gawd!

What a world we live in!

Can't trust the current generation

I mean that Jagan

When he came home

...he claimed to be a Good Samaritan, integrity conscious and a martyr!

Only when you bond his true colors flash!

'All rotten apples in the barrel!'

That day he vouched you are the only girl for him

Now when I ask him...

...I believe he's got a job abroad

Work versus you, he prefers his work!

He'll go abroad Then revert I believe

When will he come back and when will he marry you?

This won't work, dear

This is the answer if you talk to a person who is no more, dad

- Jothi...? - Jagan is dead

I knew even before you found out

- Hello...? - Madam, come here at once

I don't know what to do

'All the kids have been rushed to the hospital'

Doctors are being noncommittal, madam

The children fainted one by one

'In a Govt higher secondary school in T.Nagar...'

'...students fainted all of a sudden'

'Fighting for their lives, they have been admitted in the Govt hospital'

'Doctors are treating them in the emergency ward'

'Doctors have reported their condition as critical'

'Nothing to worry'

'Stay strong'

'Doctor, please take a look'

'Doctor'

Doctor, what happened?

What is it, doctor?

'What happened to my son?'

Oh my God! My darling son

'What happened to my child?'

'I'll become a renowned doctor when I grow up, teacher'

'Only then those who are disabled like me will have renewed faith'

'I'll study well Earn a lot'

'And distribute food for many, teacher'

My daughter has passed away

'Sandhya, how could you leave me like this?'

'My dearest daughter You were our only hope for the future'

'How could you leave me and go?'

'Teacher, I'll study well and become a good teacher like you'

'Good evening Today's breaking-news'

'In a Govt higher secondary school in T. Nagar'

'10 students unconscious and 5 dead'

'This accident was because of inferior ice cream sold outside school'

'Ice cream seller arrested'

'Details from the Health minister regarding this'

'This is a tragic incident indeed'

'We are following proper safety measures within the school'

'This is mainly due to consumption of inferior products from vendors'

'Rs 5 lakhs for the deceased children and 1 lakh for those requiring surgery'

'...is compensation announced by the Govt'

'Following this-'

Did you see how cleverly those wretched culprits have manipulated the case?

Students didn't faint because of the ice cream

They fainted only after eating the eggs from the noon meal scheme

All those kids who ate the eggs fainted one after the other

While those who didn't eat the eggs were fine

'...is the reason according to the doctors'

These doctors have accepted bribes without a twinge of remorse

'They have twisted the case'

'Mortuary'

'Who is Murthy's father? Sign and take the body'

Stop it

None of you claim your dead child

Your child didn't die because of the ice cream

They died eating the eggs in the free noon meal scheme

Let us fight until we get justice

Madam, when have we won anything by protesting?

If we protest will my child come back alive?

How can you say this?

This is a crime

Don't we have to question it?

You are saying it should be questioned

We have been paid Rs 500000 to keep our mouth shut!

My daughter died and has repaid all my loans

I've given birth to a disabled child

I was worried how I'll raise him

But today he has given his life

And settled me well in life, madam

I have no other choice but to accept this as my fate and sign the papers

Murthy, my son

[anguished voices crying]

'Did I send you to school to see you like this?'

'Murthy...!'

Murthy!

What's happening here, sir?

For the lives created by God...

...Govt is fixing the price!

'What can you and I do?'

Even you're giving up, sir?

We can only correct papers

Can never reform these rogues

We can't

'Are you the doctor or am I?'

If you're educated, that's it You'll keep questioning everything

I'm a qualified doctor

You're a 5th grade teacher

I know when and how to certify

Parents have agreed What's your problem?

Instead of preaching to me, attend to your work

I know where to go and whom to meet

[chant to exorcise spirits]

Thank God!

Only now I'm relieved

Confine him and destroy him

You are free of all hassles hereafter

From this point onward your problems are resolved

Don't think so and feel glad

Bad souls...

...we can destroy very soon

To destroy good souls

...I need more time

Tomorrow...

...only until the sun sets

...he will be under my control

Because of this if you don't want any problem

...from whichever body he's trying to take revenge on you

You must find that body

Burn it and dilute the ashes in a gutter

'The biggest blunder you did was...'

'...to dump his ashes in the sea'

'It has changed into a pure soul'

'And is taking revenge on you'

'Bring that girl, burn her'

'And mix her ashes in the gutter'

'Without getting a body like hers to possess...'

'...his soul will decay'

'What you've got to find now is...'

'...that girl!'

I already told you it isn't possible Why are you still waiting?

I got the lab report stating those eggs were adulterated

What's this, madam?

A doctor has certified those kids died only because of the ice cream

A case was filed and the concerned ice cream vendor has been arrested

Even the Health minister has given an interview

You are bringing an inconsequential lab report

And pestering me at odd hours How will I take this case?

Even if I do it won't stand a chance

How can you also be so callous?

All the victims were innocent children

I know they can't be revived or resurrected

But shouldn't the true cause of death be revealed to the world?

What is it you want?

You want the truth revealed That's all?

Give it to me

Whoever comes truth will never be known!

Any need to poke your nose like this?

Your lover is already dead

Instead of sitting in a corner and grieving to your heart's content

And being a good teacher

...why are you torturing us?

No, sir

I believe he'll come as a spirit

She'll give her body to house the spirit

Is this revenge a partnership deed?

Come here

Jagan

What you did was right

What I did was wrong

I agree I was wrong

Where are you, Jagan?

Come...!

Hey! Douse her in petrol

You said unadulterated food is your dream from childhood

Because of them 5 innocent kids died

I don't want another life to be taken

Snuff the lives out of these monsters

Kill them

Set her on fire

Move aside

'How many times will you set fire to me?'

Partner, how did he-

Jesus Christ, our savior You have to save us

Please save me from this devil

My Lord-

From now on I'll make sure no one harms you, Jothi

Partner

Come away

Help...please...help

Help...!

Partner

Help...help...!

Help...please help

Spare me

Please don't kill me

Die

Meet your end

People who adulterate food should die only like this

Let me go, please

If I spare your life...

...heartless brutes who bite your mother who nurses you

...you won't hesitate to adulterate even mother's milk!

Help...! Spare me

Every cigarette packet warns the smoker

If you smoke this you'll die of cancer

Every liquor bottle carries the same warning

It is injurious to the home and nation

Don't kill me

If these same warnings should not feature as labels on all grocery items

Even the milk sachets children drink

Help, please

'Let me go'

You should not even exist on earth

Don't

Please let go

You are a disgrace to your home and nation

I'll write this on your tombstone!

'Jagan's hunt against adulteration continues...'

Shot okay
