Original subtitles

Arima Nambi [Lion-hearted]

However pretty she maybe...

...let her take one look at me before rejecting me

Why pass me up with a fleeting glance?

She should atleast give me the bare minimum attention

Buddy, look there!

I'll give her a score of 7

7? I'd give her a 3 at best

He's so desperate that he thinks this girl is good-looking!

You guys are a bit too much Let's see who you find

This happens only in Chennai

It's different in Bangalore and Bombay

There he goes again

I am not kidding

You'll find babes when you go for a walk...

...at the restaurant, when you go shopping

...at the office

Even when you take a break to smoke...

...you'll find two babes there

Bombay is the place to be!

Don't brag about Bombay

Nothing to beat a 'Tamil' girl!

You can't look beyond the girls here

Look! There comes a 'Tamil' girl

Wow! You were right, buddy

The excitement is in the search

It will get boring if you find them everywhere

They are coming in as a group

A score of 5

It's a 6

It's a 2

- It's a 10 - What?

The one dressed in blue

Oh, yes! She's gorgeous!

She is But I challenge you...

...she's either 'Pani Poori' from Bombay or 'Chapathi' from Delhi

Not 'Curd Rice' from here

Nothing great about her

She's coming

Check if she's Tamil

Hang on

Is this necessary?

You were the one who saw him first So you approach him

She's Tamil

She's Tamil So what?

It's not like she has fallen for you

Shut up

I must talk to her

I've never seen such a beautiful girl

I must atleast take her number

I bet a thousand bucks

He's only going to gape at her till she leaves...

...and whine about it later

That was last week It's different today

You go on, buddy

Do you think this is some drunken babble?

Watch me now

They're just goading you

It's already late

We need to get to the gym early in the morning

What? The gym...

Have you seen my physique?

We're best friends

We're meeting up after a long time

We saw you all...

...all of you look beautiful

We thought we'd dedicate a song to you

You tell me... What's your favorite song?

The kind of song I like...

Sing in Tamil

"I smelt the fragrance of a Satin flower"

"A violet colored Satin flower..."

"...came into my town and mesmerized me"

"She made my heart skip a few beats..."

"...and made it start all over again"

"Who is she?"

"Who is she?"

"Who is she?"

"Is she honey from Kashmir?"

"Is she a doe from Mumbai?"

"Is she a fish from Kolkata?"

"Or just a girl from Delhi?"

"My friend asked me these questions..."

"...no is what I said to him"

"Oh, she speaks in Tamil..."

"...she stole my heart at that moment"

"Who is she?"

"She throws rocks at my heart..."

"...she enjoys the upheaval she causes"

"This wicked one, who is she?"

"This Beauty, who is she?"

"I searched the room..."

"...who is your angel?"

"Is she the pinnacle of beauty?"

"Who is this star?"

"Who is she?"

"Who is she?"

"If you search with your eyes..."

"...you will not find her, tell me why?"

"Who is she to you?"

"Who is she to me?"

"What is her name?"

"Why do you ask me?"

"What is her number?"

"Why do you look at me?"

"Who is she?"

"Who is she?"

"She knew the answer, yet she teased me"

"She made me sing in Tamil"

"She stood glaring, who is she?"

"She won my heart, who is she?"

Look!

He has got her number

What a beautiful name!

You have her number Now, go for it

We saw each other yesterday, we danced

I even played the guitar

It's going to take a lot more time to impress a girl

Should I tell you how to impress girls?

- How? - With money

You need to have a good car, dress well...

...take her shopping, own a huge house, a great job...

If you have all this, it's easy to impress girls

So, you speak out of your rich experience?

I don't have any of this That's why I've failed

I have her number...

...I want you to give me an excuse to call her

How about this?

Aren't you tired?

Because you've been running through my mind since we met yesterday

How about saying this?

Now I know why you don't have a girlfriend

- She has sent a message - What has she said?

You can let your silly ideas be

She wants to know if I slept well How do I respond?

Don't think too much Be brave

Respond and take it forward

What a stupid reply 'how are you?'

Wait

Hand me the phone

Don't send it

How can I ask her out for dinner right away?

You're embarrassing me She's going to yell at me

The effort of playing the guitar has gone waste

See it Come on

How did she agree?

How do I suddenly go out for dinner with a girl?

What do you mean?

You were brave enough to ask for her number last night!

I was high

Have a drink when you go out

How can I have a drink when I go out for dinner with a girl?

You didn't fall for her at a temple, did you?

You met her at the pub

Make sure she falls for you over this dinner

Don't ask me for further advice

Where do I take her for dinner?

What about 'Andhra Mess'?

How are you?

Shall we go in?

You said this was a birthday gift, when was your birthday?

Last week 22nd January

Damn! I've missed your birthday treat by a week!

I've missed out on getting a gift too

When is your birthday?

Why?

Don't you read zodiac forecasts in the papers?

I am an 'Aquarian'

Astrologically, I won't get along with people born in November

We'll keep arguing

I was born on the 29th It's the fag end of November

You can take it to be December

Even a day counts, November it is You can't change it

What's your full name?

Let's try 'Flames' to see if you and I will be compatible

Sister?

My friend gave me...

...a bottle of Vodka for my birthday

It's at home Would you want to...?

That won't be necessary

We can go back to my place from here

To your place?

We can go

- Is it ok? - What is ok?

It is twelve already...

...is it ok to come home this late?

Let's drop him first and then...

I'll come I just asked if it was ok

All right, come without saying a word

This is the place

I forgot to tell you, you sing really well

But you embarrassed me in front of my friends

Don't you have a watchman here?

- Who's that? - It's me

Oh! It's you

The maid didn't come today...

...I'll tell her to come tomorrow

- What happened? - Nothing

He's just the watchman, not my father

Why are you getting this scared?

You've got a beautiful apartment

Oh! It's unopened

Where are your parents?

My mom passed away when I was five years old

Dad is around

We have a huge house, but very far off...it's on ECR

I'm there during the weekends

I stay here when I go to College It's close by

What is it?

When I was in College, my house was far off too...

Did your parents get you an apartment too?

No, they got me a bus pass

I need to clarify something

What is it?

I've not had a guy visit my apartment before this

Really?

Why are you so shocked by that?

Do you think I bring guys home just like that?

No, I believe you

You've known me for just two days

That is why I...

A girl doesn't need two days to assess a guy

- She can do that over one dinner - Over one dinner, how?

When you enter a restaurant for a dinner date...

...the guy must hold the door for the girl

Yes...don't guys do this?

30 percent of them fail in this

What else?

Making noises while eating

40 percent of them fail

This is a terrific point

The guy must pay on the first date

We may pretend to offer...

...but the guy must ask for the bill and pay it

The phone connection is weak...

...I'll come out and talk to you

But the third rule applies only to the first date

They should take turns to pay if they meet again

This apart, if he showers me with compliments...

...he gets bonus points

Only when he gets past this, can he meet me again

It seems like I've passed a tough evaluation

You flunked in 22 subjects in college...

...but you've passed this exam

Where is the restroom?

What a girl!

Things seem to be moving quickly

But don't get tense

We'll have another round of drinks

Whatever happens after that, let it!

She's a beautiful girl

Don't mess it up and fail

What if this girl comes up with a Rule number 4...

...'brush before you kiss'?

Who is it?

Who are you?

- Hold her - Let me go!

Hurry up! Get into the car

Who is he?

He must be her boyfriend

We'll take care of it, come on!

Because I quarreled with my wife I was slept on the bus stop

But you took me here

What wrong did you do, sir?

If she suspects me...

Shut up!

Stop wailing Or I'll break your bones

My family will be looking for me

Please let me go

What do you want?

It's an emergency They have kidnapped a girl

Two men...at her home...

...with guns and knives

Wait...

- Her life is in danger - Wait!

Come here, Arumugam

What's the name?

My name?

What's your name?

Is that the full name?

What do you do?

I'm a supervising engineer in a car showroom

What does your dad do?

A girl's life is in danger If we don't act quickly...

What does your dad do?

He's retired

- Are you married? - No

What's the girl's name?

What's her last name?

Don't you know her last name?

- We matched our names with 'Flames'... - 'Flames'?

Check if he is drunk

Her name is Anamika Raghunath

Where does she stay?

They kidnapped her from that apartment on the third floor...

What's the address?

Don't you know the address either?

I don't

Why should I know?

You've been questioning me endlessly...

...I don't know the address, but I know the way

Don't waste time, act fast

You dare to come here drunk and talk to me like this!

How long have you known her?

Two days...

Just two days!

Don't you dare tell me about wasting time!

We need to enquire guys like you who get drunk and hang around with girls

You look decent, that's why I've offered you a seat

Else, I'll be treating you like that guy over there

They hang around with girls late at night...

...and then hassle cops with complaints of kidnap and rape

Give me the girl's mobile number

'This mobile number is currently switched off'

Can you identify the two kidnappers?

Certainly! I remember their faces

Arumugam, go check out what he's saying

Let's go

He's normally in a bad mood after 10 p.m

Don't mind that

Take the right and keep going straight after that

Didn't you say they took her in a car?

Yes

Did you make note of the license plate?

I forgot to tell the Inspector

Yes

Stop this car wherever you see it

This is the one, the apartment to our right

What is the matter, sir?

You are here on untime

A girl called Anamika Raghunath lives here, doesn't she?

Third floor

Yes

The fair girl, she studies in college

Yes, she's the one

An hour back...

We've received a complaint saying she was kidnapped an hour back

What?! Kidnapped an hour back?

It's been four days since she last came here

She has gone on a tour

She told me she'll be back only next week

She is on a tour?

Didn't you see her getting into the elevator?

You even told her that the maid didn't come today

Why would I lie? Who is this guy?

He came here with that girl

He was in her apartment when two men kidnapped her

- Didn't you see him here? - No, sir, he wouldn't have seen me...

...but he definitely saw the girl

Weren't you with her when she came here?

When he was speaking to her, I walked into the elevator

What is he saying?

The last time I opened the gate was at 11:30 p.m

This Hyundai Verna came in The owner is on the 4th floor

The gate's been locked since then Only you've come after that

- What's your name? - Murugesan

- How long have you been working here? - Six years

Do you stay here or...?

Me coming in with that girl, her kidnap...

...all of it would have been captured on this security camera

Please arrest him

Where does the footage get recorded?

- At the office room - I need to go in

We need to take permission from the Association

Will you come back in the morning?

Open up the room, I am telling you to!

- Yes, sir - Come on

At what time did you come in?

It must have been around 12:15 a.m

I'm sure it was 12:15 a.m

It was around 1 a.m when they kidnapped her

Fast forward the footage

Look! It's just the two of you entering

Someone has tampered with the video

Arrest and question him

I've been working here for the last six years

Anyone will vouch for me

Get home and sleep instead of blabbering in your drunken state

What the hell?

Who's blabbering? He's lying, sir

I came here with that girl

How would I know how her apartment looks?

They must have broken open the door

Let's go up...

...you'll know only when you see for yourself

Do you have the keys?

The keys have been left with me to get the place cleaned

Bring the keys Let's go up

Someone has cleared all the evidence

Let's go

Murugesan, lock the house

Stay up

Someone from the Police Station might come here for an enquiry

Didn't you say her name was Anamika Raghunath?

Yes

See this

Raghunath Kumar, the girl's father

He owns the TV Company, Channel 24

I'm calling from J5 Police Station

- What is the matter? - It's an emergency

There's been a robbery at your daughter's apartment

Robbery? At her apartment?

Not at her apartment, but the one below

We're talking to all the residents...

...to check about the watchman

I called to find out where your daughter is

She's not in town

She has gone to Goa with her friends

I'm the CEO of Channel 24

We can meet at my office at any time

I didn't mean to disturb her This is just a formal call

Where are your parents?

Coimbatore

Let's go to the Police Station and explain things to the Inspector

Give it some time Think about all that happened

You're not going to believe what I'm saying

I myself don't understand what is happening

I've known her only for two days

But it looks like I am lucky even to be alive

Could you please drop me home?

All right, I'll talk to the Inspector

Where's your house?

It's close by

We have to take the right after we get off the bridge

- Do you live on the first floor? - Yes

Sleep well

Everything will be fine in the morning

I'll see you

Do you believe what the watchman says?

Yes, sir

I don't think he is lying

But I don't understand why this guy is saying this

We've to handle these weird situations amidst the different things we do!

We don't have to file a complaint...

...now that even the guy has gone back home

Now that he's sober...

...he has gone back without a fuss

Don't waste time on this

We have to submit the report on the murder case tomorrow

- Aren't you leaving? - No, sir...you go ahead

They've kidnapped a girl Two men...with guns and knives...

- What's the girl's name? - We played 'Flames'

Check if he is drunk

'This mobile number is currently switched off'

It's been four days since she last came here

She has gone on a tour

Didn't you see her getting into the elevator?

You even told her that the maid didn't come today

When he was talking to her, I walked into the elevator

Go home and sleep instead of blabbering in your drunken state

Someone has cleared all the evidence

She is not in the town She has gone to Goa with her friends

Could you please drop me off at home?

See this

Raghunath Kumar, the girl's father

- Is Muthu inside? - He hasn't said anything yet

He can't get away without giving it

- Really? - What happened?

That guy is somewhere here

Look near that bush

We should have killed you right there

You've come this far

It seems you even told the Police that you will identify us

Kill him and get back inside

The girl's father said that she's gone to Goa

Then, how did we get a 'switched off' telephonic voice in Tamil?

That's why I came here to check

Come with me

Will you air just anything in the news?

Now, look what's happened Your daughter is with me

I've managed to keep her away from my guys till now

Do you want her to be in the 'news' as well?

I'll do what you want

Where's my daughter?

Let her go

How many copies did you make?

Just one

It's in a memory card

Suspecting drug usage at the beach house party...

...I had a camera installed

I didn't expect such an incident to get recorded

Only my senior journalist Rajesh and I know about this

People will be murdered, that's none of your business

Even if you'd asked him for a ransom...

...he'd have given it to you

But, you were planning to broadcast it!

Where is that memory card?

I had asked Rajesh to keep it in the Company's locker

Call him

Tell him that someone called Gunaseelan will collect it

If the phone call doesn't go right...

...your daughter will die

Go on

Some guy has murdered someone...

...he has it taped

That's why they've kidnapped his daughter...

...and are blackmailing him

- Yes, sir - Where are you, Rajesh?

I'm getting back from Pondicherry

I'll reach at 5 a.m What's the matter, sir?

I need that 28th January memory card urgently

That one! Is there a problem?

There's no problem Open the studio at 5 a.m

A man called Gunaseelan will collect it from you

I'll ask him to call you

Rajesh, do what I ask you to

Keep an eye on him until we get the memory card

Let's go

Where is Logu? He went to kill that guy

Did you see him?

- No, I don't know - You don't?

He's not dead

He's moved from there to here

That CEO is trying to escape Kill him

The sub-inspector is also with him Shoot them down

Don't let them escape Get them

I don't think I'll make it to the hospital

Don't go to the Police

We don't know who else is involved

Shoot them

Get away from these guys and leave the city

It looks like some big shot is involved

- Come, sir - I can't come

I've lost a lot of blood

Throw away your phone's 'SIM' card

They're tracking you using your mobile phone number

Are you sure you want to rescue Anamika?

The men who've kidnapped her are local thugs

They're strong men

They can stab you with a knife...

...or shoot you with a gun

But they can't take on hand-to-hand combat

That's difficult

But, you're doing that

I asked you to leave this city

But I say this now...

If you fight back...

...they'll shudder

Go in search of her

Don't let her go

I'll rescue Anamika from these men

But you need to be taken to the hospital first

Brother...

Is that Inspector still not reachable?

Idiot!

Wonder where he disappeared

We've got the memory card

I thought we'd be done with our work if we kill Raghunath Kumar

Should I send someone to check if they've killed him?

Let's collect our money first...

...and then send a person to check

Hand this to them and get into the car

The parcel is with me

You won't have any trouble from the Police

I've killed Arjun and Raghunath Kumar

I'm heading to the lodge now

I'll kill that girl as well

I'll come to the lodge at 10 a.m and collect the parcel

What about the money?

It's ready as promised

Half the amount has been transferred

You'll get the balance amount when you give me the parcel

They've transferred half the money

We'll get the balance only when we deliver the memory card

Where do we hand it over?

Hang on

Don't we have to check if they have transferred the money?

Let's withdraw the money first

They'll collect the card from the lodge

Keep it in the dashboard I'll go get the money

I'll come along too

I'm not going to run away with the money

- I didn't mean that - Fine, come along

The vehicle papers are fine...

...but why did you park the car in a 'No parking' zone?

Lock that vehicle

Damn it! They've got alloy caps on it

There's a gun in the dashboard

What are you saying?

- Did you see that? - Yes, sir

I went there to put a lock

Won't you tell it early that you want a tea with less decoction?

The car is locked

Give me a bottle of water

Look at this, sir

It's parked in front of the bank

Whose car is this?

They might have gone to the bank

Give me 20 rupees

This is the vehicle

- It doesn't look like a licensed gun - Yes sir, you are correct

Check with the guard about people who've come to the bank

How long has it been parked here?

Have you sent an alert with the car number?

Karthik, alert the bank manager

Move all the Police vehicles and watch them covertly

If the two of them are caught by the Police...

...I won't be able to find out where Anamika is

Using bank CCTV footage collect last half an hour in and out details

If there should be any suspect Immediately inform me

My shawl!

Someone question him

Drop the gun

Drop it

Drop the gun

Go that side

Take out the money

Put the cash in this bag

Hurry up

Move

- Did you come on a bike? - We came by car

Sit down

Show me the keys

Get up Go on

There's been a planned armed robbery at the National Bank of India

They are getting away in a gray Xylo

We've spotted the car It's entering Nungambakkam

Go straight

Take the left

The visuals are not clear

It looks like the vehicle is entering the Harrington road subway

Pull over Stop

Who is he?

The Police are approaching We can't use this vehicle anymore

Get down!

Who are you?

My car's been stolen Please call the cops

What happened, sir?

Please help me, sir I don't know who they are

What happened?

He beat him up and took the car

Hello, Boss!

Come on

Hello, Boss!

- Discard the queen - Oh, yes

- No way - You're cheating

Yes, this floor Come on

Where did you go?

- Had some important business - You should've called me

You go ahead I'll come

Why are you so scared?

Don't behave like this in front of him

Brother...

What is it?

They are calling from the lodge in Tambaram

Tell them that I'll speak to them later

Think they've run into trouble with the Police

All right, give me the phone

Give the phone to the Sub-Inspector

Listen to me

They take bribes from us every month

Why have they come now? Give the phone to him

Come

Can't you see?

Anamika, run!

Catch him Don't let him go

Catch them

Who are you? You shouldn't be here

If he calls again, tell him that I'll speak to the Inspector

Wait outside

Where is the girl?

The memory card is missing too

Arjun has escaped with the girl

Arjun? Didn't I ask you to kill him at the ECR house?

- He's got away somehow - Look for him

Brother, they're here

Where's the memory card?

Where's the memory card?

Arjun has taken the memory card and run away with that girl

What?

If we sanction this contract to Singapore people...

...then the local contractors will incur a loss

How long can we worry about local contractors?

I am here to do a profitable business

Doing a business is fine

What if any problem arises if you let in foreign contractors?

Who will answer?

Already the opposition are breathing over us

What if we take the wrong step and get stuck?

Arjun has taken the memory card and escaped with the girl

I'll be in Chennai in three hours

I need the memory card when I get there

Wipe out all the evidence

The girl...the boy...

Kill them both

There were four men All with guns

Before I knew it, they shot him

My dad has been everything to me since childhood

I didn't even have my mom

When she died, we weren't so rich

Mom and dad somehow managed to meet all their routine expenses

But my dad got worried after my mom's death

He had to raise me all by himself

He needed money to give me everything I'd wish for

He became a different person

For a few years after that, I'd meet my dad only once a month

He left me at my grandma's place while he worked hard

He went to America and started a business

After that, I studied in an International school...

...travelled in Mercedes Benz cars

He'd say everything belonged to me

But to me, the money wasn't important

That's why...

...kidnapping me and blackmailing him became easy

They wanted something from my dad...

...something so important that they'd even kill him for it

He was scared for my life, that's why he lost his

The people who murdered him must be made answerable

Even if they don't give you an answer, they'll have to explain this

Password?

Such passwords will only be available with my dad...

...or with some senior journalists handling the case

That's the standard practice

He didn't mention anything about a password at home

My dad has a personal diary

In that he'd have details of his high profile contacts...

...passwords and everything else

If this card were really important...

...then its password will definitely be there in the diary

- Where is the personal diary? - My dad's cabin, at Channel 24

Let's go there

- What happened? - Nothing, I'll be fine

They killed journalist Rajesh in this building

- I'll go in, you wait in the car - No, I'll go in

I know where my dad's cabin is

After we got away, they'd have sent people to look for us...

...at your house and mine or even at this TV studio

Tell me where your dad's cabin is Wait in the car till I come back

This building has an entrance from the side

The forensic department is analyzing the case

We can't say anything until we get their report

When you go through that entrance, you'll reach the lobby

Take the right

You'll see a fire exit

Take that to go to the first floor

I've checked, sir...they say there was a dance show yesterday

Get the organisers here before the Commissioner arrives

Get into the staff corridor from there

When you cross the working area, you'll reach the waiting lounge

You'll find a painting of Buddha outside a door

That's my dad's cabin

Look for a white locker

The password for opening it, is my birthday

- Whose room is this? - That's the news room

What are you doing here?

- Do you work here? - Yes

Haven't they asked everyone to go out?

I came here to take the camera

The glamorous actress, Jabitha...

...is giving us a bikini interview

Bikini interview?!

There's been a suicide here Won't you guys ever change?

Get out of here before the Commissioner arrives

Choco is more fond of you than of me

Who's that behind her?

I have a shoot tomorrow

Didn't you have a shoot wrap-up party for your friends yesterday?

That's a different film

Does the director or the actor flirt with you?

You don't want to attend these parties

If they knew about you, they wouldn't dare come near me

I can't blame them

Did you tell your wife at least today?

Why bring that up now?

You don't understand

How long can we keep this just between us?

You look so cute when you get worked up

Let's put the tension and pressure aside for sometime

You have to tell her today

When are you filing for a divorce with your wife?

I've told you not to keep asking me this question

There you go again

What?

I'll deliver a baby in seven months

Is that all?

Why are you getting worked up? I'll take care of it

How?

Before everyone gets to know, let's announce this

Announce this...?

What are you saying?

That was an accident

We'll abort the child tomorrow

Please wait in the car, sir I'll handle this

She's pregnant with my child

I'll take care of the post-mortem report

News reports over the last two days have alleged that...

...Megha Sharma died in a gas explosion

But it's a murder

She's been murdered by the Central Minister, Rishi Dev

How could he do this to a girl?

A big group is involved only to ensure this video doesn't get out

- Let's go to the Police - What?

The Police had a role to play in your kidnap

Do you want to just let this go?

Even if we decide to let it go, we've seen the video

What do you think we can do?

Who's more senior to Rishi Dev? Let's go to them directly

That's not so easy

We'd have to route it only through the Police

The Government will do anything to ensure this video doesn't get out

People are the most powerful

You saw what happened with the Delhi gang rape incident

Not just Delhi, all of Tamil Nadu stood up for the cause

When a girl's life is in danger, our people won't spare the guilty

How do we take it to the public? A big group is in pursuit...

...they also have support of the Police

We can directly upload it on the Internet

Nothing is more powerful than YouTube, Facebook or Twitter

If we have to get out of this mess...

...we'll have to release the video

This is the fastest way

Within an hour of uploading, it'll spread all over India

We can go to the Police after that

We need access to the Internet

As soon as we upload this video, we'll leave the city

- What happened? - Nothing

Go to a hotel nearby

We'll get Internet access and first aid for you

There's a laptop in here

Let me see

What a small camera!

With one click, the camera is on

And with another, it is off

Is this how your Company records those sex scandals?

Give me the memory card

Once this is uploaded, we have to leave this place

Else, they'll track us down using the IP address

Arjun, who are you calling?

Where are you, Arjun?

You left last night, you have taken my bike as well

Listen to me

I'm caught in a serious situation I need your help

What happened? Let's meet first

Whatever it is, we'll solve it

You are calling me from a different number

Where are you?

Anamika and I are at the Westin Hotel

What?! You guys have already booked a hotel room?

They had kidnapped Anamika

- We escaped from there - What are you saying?

I need my passport immediately

It's in my shelf

Come here with it I'll tell you everything

Come fast

Come with me

- Take off your shirt - What?

Take off your shirt

What is it?

I thought it was going to be just one dinner...

...but so much has happened

I got you involved in this mess

If only you hadn't been there in my apartment last night...

I have no one but my dad

You somehow managed to rescue me

We've known each other only for two days

"My heart..."

"...oh, my heart"

"...how did it come to you?"

"My love..."

"...your heart"

"...how did it come to me?"

"I've come into your eyes, woman"

"I will now follow you through time"

"What is this magic?"

"With your touch, my wounds disappear"

"My heart..."

"...oh, my heart"

"...how did it come to you?"

"Love is a library"

"The eyelids are books"

"I opened them..."

"...and read thousands of poems inside you"

"I forgot myself"

"I flew into the sky"

"I gave myself to you completely"

"I have nothing left with me"

"What is this magic?"

"With your touch, my wounds disappear"

"Love entered my bloodstream"

"It chanted your name in my sleep"

"In my life..."

"...there's rain and sunshine now"

"I lost something"

"I gained something"

"What else will I ask you?"

"I want a place in your heart!"

"What is this magic?"

"With your touch, my wounds disappear"

- Hurry up, come in quick - What is it?

What are you doing here?

- What are you doing? - Have you brought my passport?

It's in the bag Tell me what happened

The gas explosion which accounted for Megha Sharma's death...

...was a cover-up for her murder

Do you know who did it? The Central Minister, Rishi Dev

The murder has been captured on tape

To ensure that the video wasn't aired in the news...

...they had kidnapped Anamika and blackmailed her dad

My dad is the CEO of Channel 24

This seems to be a very serious issue

What are you doing with the laptop?

I'm uploading the video on YouTube

Don't do anything stupid! You'll get into more trouble

So many people are murdered this way

If this video gets out, they won't spare you

They won't spare me even otherwise

Anamika and I can get out of this mess...

...only if Rishi Dev is arrested

The girl's murder wasn't the only one...

...they've killed a sub-inspector of police, Arumugam...

...and Anamika's dad just for this video

You've known her only for two days Why do you bother about her dad?

People with political power can commit murder, swindle money...

Listen to me Let's get out of here quietly

No one will chase you if the video doesn't get out

I can't do that

Give me my passport I will handle this myself

Leave the city

They will surely come in search of my friends

When they can track you down with a mobile phone number...

...can't they find you if you went abroad?

Had you seen the video, you wouldn't be speaking this way

He has killed her brutally

Are you Megha Sharma's fan?

It's not too late Cancel the upload

It's not our business Let's go

What is it? I am talking to you and...

How did you know they tracked me with my mobile phone number?

What?

I never told you they tracked me down with my mobile phone number

How do you know that?

How else could they...?

Cancel it Listen to me!

- You gave them my number, didn't you? - Listen to me...

What is your connection with them?

After you came home last night and then left with my bike...

...they came looking for you It was around 2 a.m

Two strangers knocked on our door and asked me where you were

Does Arjun live here?

He is my room mate He has gone out

- Who are you? - His colleagues

We need to meet him right away

- Did he get in touch with you? - His colleagues...?

Give me his phone number We'll talk to him

Or you can come back in the morning, he'll be here

Then, I went back to bed

Someone knocked on the door at ten in the morning

Where is Arjun?

Did he call you?

Who are you? I swear he didn't call me!

Sit down

Didn't Arjun call you?

No

Who are all of you? What do you want?

He has our memory card

I don't know anything

He knows we're tracking him...

...he has thrown away his phone's 'SIM' card

When he calls you...

...you need to find out where he is and inform me

You don't have to do this for free

How long will you live such an ordinary life?

I'll give you 2 crore rupees

Just hand me the memory card...

...and go away somewhere and live a good life

2 crore rupees?

Half the amount is in the bag

The balance will be given when I receive the memory card

You took money from him? Aren't you ashamed?

No, I'm not

No one is born rich

Such opportunities come only once in a lifetime

We must make use of it

Don't spoil it by uploading this video What will we gain by doing this?

You think they'll let you go if you give them the card?

They'll kill us

They know where you are now

They'll be here in five minutes

Leave the card here and get going

I'll collect the money for us

You've betrayed me

I trusted you and you've backstabbed me!

Keep the gun inside

They are on the 4th street You go that way

They're going up I'm in pursuit

They're on the terrace

You go down

That girl is walking through the streets

I am going down

Where are you?

The girl has the memory card

Why did you cut the balloon rope?

It costs Rs 100 Who will pay me?

Stop there, girl

Can't you hear me?

Don't you have any sense?

Damn! No one is reachable

Before Joseph got there, they've tried uploading the video on YouTube

But, the uploading was cancelled

Till we get the memory card...

...should I ask for YouTube access to be denied to all Chennai users?

There are too many such sites and applications

We can't get them blocked individually

Find out how to shut down the Internet completely

He wants the entire network to be shut down

Yeah! Explain it to him

The whole of Chennai uplinks data to a satellite through one server

It is not possible to shut down the Internet completely

But we can use your access code to create a glitch in the satellite

This will cause the main server to re-boot

For 45 minutes, there will be no Internet operation...

...except on the Government Server

This will bring all Internet related activities to a standstill...

...resulting in heavy economic loss

Do you know the effect of a one hour power cut?

If the Internet is shut down for a mere 45 minutes duration...

...the city will not collapse!

Do it immediately

If the video gets out, you know what the repercussions will be!

I wanted to get this done without involving the Police

Call Arul Raj

- What is it, sir? - I haven't got the memory card yet

The guy and girl have escaped

- What? - That is why I've called you

I give you 45 minutes to get them

File a complaint saying they've eloped after killing the father

If you find them anywhere, shoot them at sight

I want the entire Police force deployed to look for them

I will take care of any paperwork you may need for this

I am heading there

Pay attention

This is the emergency I'd spoken to you about

They are lovers who've fought with the parents

The girl's father has been murdered

They've also killed sub-inspector Arumugam who helped him

As Raghunath Kumar is a media kingpin...

...the case has been moved to the Central Ministry

We've got orders to capture the suspects within the next 45 minutes

We've received information that they were armed...

...and were last seen at the Vadapalani Housing Board Colony

Keep a constant eye on the school and college they went to...

...and their places of work

Keep track of the people whom he frequently calls...

...and the ones he might contact

...his friends from work and near home

...his social media communication, his financial transactions

I have to be a step ahead of him

Sir, we are cheking all the vehicles

Yes sir, we've blocked all roads

I think the entire Police force is looking for us

Just the way they tracked me with my cell phone...

...they will be tracking me with my credit or debit card transactions

We have to get this done before they find us

How long should I wait for the data card?

I'm trying, the Internet is down

- Please wait - My phone's Internet is down too

There's no network coverage inside this mall

EDGE and 3G networks are unavailable

The router is re-booting

There's something fishy! Could this be the cops' ploy too?

There's only one way to end this

Make calls to all the important contacts from the Press

Just say there's sensational news waiting for you at the Forum Mall

We'll give this memory card directly to the Press

But the Police are everywhere

Calling the Press will take time We have to get them here

That will invite attention

I'll keep the Police busy

Use the pay phone

Even if I'm not back, hand it over to the Press at 4 p.m

We've blocked the Vadapalani area entirely and are searching for them

His most recent credit card transactions were...

...at the Park Pod restaurant last night for 9 glasses of red wine

...and for a deluxe suite room at Hotel Westin today

He hasn't used it after that

His 'SIM' card is not inside his mobile phone

He's neither active on WhatsApp nor Messenger

He has 453 Facebook friends...

...we're tracking the ones who live in Vadapalani

He has 140 followers on Twitter...

...43 Skype contacts and 3 email accounts

We're keeping track of his Internet activity

He's had a drink with three of his friends at the Hard Rock Café the day before

One of them died at Hotel Westin The other two work in Mumbai

He has twelve friends from Vadapalani

Seven of them were his college mates, three from his school...

...the other two are his colleagues

What if he's not there in the Vadapalani area?

We blocked the road within five minutes of the call

Get me the list of public places in that area

You are tracking their transactions

We've also sent a fax of their photos to all the hotels

If they attempt to book a room or dine somewhere, we'll get them

Remove hotels from this list

They'll look for crowded places to hide

The temples won't be crowded at 3:30 p.m

- What about the mosques? - No, sir

Parks and playgrounds are open spaces

Check the security cameras of all the malls and theatres

For how long can they hide?

I asked for extra cheese

It's in there! If you want...

No! It's fine

Get me some ketchup

Check out the fourth table

Arjun's credit card has been used at the New Town Café

The guy and girl are at the New Town Café...

...on Arcot Road

Surround the place immediately

- Where's Arjun? - He was eating his burger

He seems to have left without signing the bill

Arjun is not here

He disappeared even without collecting his card

He must be around Tighten the security

All right, don't keep calling me

- I'm sorry - Won't you be careful?

Are you blind?

Arjun here, it's something important

He has called his friend

He's called his friend Bharath just about a minute ago

Arjun here, it's something important

Tell me

Can you transfer twenty thousand rupees to my bank account immediately?

- What happened? Any problem? - It's very urgent! I'll explain later

I'll return the money in a week

Where has he called from?

A BSNL mobile phone, but it's not his

It's in the name of a person called Srinivasan

Track this voice on all calls

He knows the Police are after him

He won't use this phone again

I need two tickets to Mumbai on the next flight

Why am I not getting the location of this call?

It's a pay phone from a grocery store on Arunachalam Road

The Police are heading there

Fax their photos to the Airport's Security Wing

They shouldn't reach the Airport

Narrow down the search to within 500 meters of this pay phone

Check all the vehicles

He should not get past Vadapalani

The Police patrol team is approaching the ATM

Someone else has withdrawn money using Arjun's card

Check if he is Arjun's friend

He doesn't look like his friend

He could well be a friend from Facebook! Check!

Facebook friend...?

Only Arjun is there...?

Nobody has even made a mention of that girl so far!

Where is she?

This is the footage that was recorded in front of Forum Mall 45 minutes back

Give me a live feed of this mall's exterior camera

Why are there so many media vehicles in front of Forum Mall?

Let me check and get back, Sir

There are 25 people from the Press...

...and 15 media vans in front of Forum Mall

They claim they've received a call promising sensational news

Send the entire Police force there

Before any news reaches the Media, I want the two of them dead

Surround the mall

- The Police have come in - What are you saying?

We've spotted them

They are getting out through the exit on the side

Have that exit covered

The mall is crowded

I can see the target

The mall is packed with people

Arjun was not the one who got shot

- They've shot the cleaner - Quiet!

The situation is tense

The Press people are asking a million questions

We have to give them an answer

We've fired in public

Do what I say

The call you got promising sensational news was a hoax

But we did come here looking for Arjun Krishna and Anamika Raghunath

The two have killed the girl's father for his money

He was the CEO of Channel 24, Raghunath Kumar

We believe that Arjun has kept the girl under the influence of drugs

Not only that...

We tried nabbing them

That's when a man from the public got shot at in the crossfire

Anyone who gives information about them will get a reward...

...of Rupees Five Lakhs from the Police Department

Listen to me

Give out the contact numbers through these Channels

If anyone calls with information about them, transfer that call to me

Please follow me

We are taking a totally wrong route to solve this case

I tried explaining this to the Officer

But he wouldn't take me seriously

53 top Media houses have received calls claiming some sensational news

Do you know who made these calls?

The girl we've been searching for Anamika Raghunath

If they are on the run after committing murder...

...why would they call the Press?

I've done a bit of investigation to get some clarity on this

There was a charge of 16,000 rupees to Arjun's credit card at Hotel Westin

Another bill for an unpaid amount has been generated under that account

Knowing this, I tracked the IP address of the computer

They had uploaded almost 453 MB of a video on to YouTube

But the activity was cancelled even before the upload was complete

Going by the video they tried to upload...

...and the calls they made to the media

...if we recover the video from the server

...we'll definitely get a better idea

Is it possible to retrieve the video?

Yes, sir! The Government agencies can

Only when a video is fully uploaded, will YouTube display it

If for some reason it is cancelled, it will get stored temporarily

I have located our file...

...but it will get deleted in another five or ten minutes

I need a higher level access code to download it

If you can get me the code...

...we can download it within two minutes and even watch it here

Repeat what you said about the YouTube server

Only when the video is fully uploaded will YouTube display it

If the upload process is cancelled...

...the file will get stored in the temporary server

Close to eight lakh videos have been uploaded in the last two hours

Our video will definitely get deleted within a few minutes

If it gets deleted, we can't retrieve it

Two cups of coffee please

The video footage was our only way out

Now we don't have any evidence against him

They'll follow us to this coffee shop in no time

We can't run anymore

We came here in search of Arjun Krishna and Anamika Raghunath

They've killed the girl's father for his money

He was the CEO of Channel 24, Mr Ragunath Kumar

We believe that Arjun has kept the girl under the influence of drugs

No, people will notice use

They're accusing me for my dad's death

No one will believe us anymore

- Let's think - Think?

They are looking for us all over the city

What do you want us to do?

I need to make an urgent call

Could you give me your mobile phone?

Only the two of us know that the memory card got broken

They don't know it

The news says we should contact you if we have information on Arjun or Anamika

What is the information?

I'm the Arjun the Television News reports are talking about

I want to talk to the Officer handling this case

Connect the call to the Officer

- Arjun, listen to me - You listen to me

I have Rishi Dev's video on my mobile phone

I'm just a step away from sending it as an MMS

I have numbers of Government officials...

...University Professors, Judges, Student Union Presidents and so on

I can send the video in seconds

Do you think you can get away if you did something like that?

It's just a button's press away If I send it, it's over

It's right in front of me

But I'm not going to do it

What's the deal?

If the video gets out, Rishi Dev will be arrested...

...the girl's family will get justice

...and the country will be saved from a corrupt politician

All that's fine But, what will I get?

What are you trying to say?

I'll hand over that memory card to you

But I have some demands in return

- What are your demands? - You are a middleman

I can't tell you

If you want the memory card, my demands have to be fulfilled

I need to meet Rishi Dev in person

It must be a private meeting Strictly no Police

I will hand over the memory card only to Rishi Dev...

...and he needs to personally guarantee that my demands will be met

Think well and reply

If you don't agree, I'll send the MMS right away

Say yes

I am the future Prime Minister

Don't forget that

It'll get done with this

What can this worthless guy do?

Let's take the memory card and...

I will arrange the meeting, but I will decide the venue

Rishi Dev's private air field at Meenambakkam

There'll be no Police

Only I will be there with him

I know you are tracking this call

If anyone comes in search of us, this deal stands cancelled

Why are you asking for a meeting?

Eventually, they'll find out that you don't have any evidence

I am going to create the evidence only after going there

What are you saying?

I've planned this meeting only to separate the Police from Rishi Dev

I'm going to make him confess the murder he committed

I'll tell you what you need to do

He's not here

Would he be planning something?

Drop the gun!

Drop it

Listen to me

Go there

What are you trying to do?

How much money do you want?

Where would you like to own a house?

Go! Sit there

Hands behind you!

What did you do with the memory card?

What are you doing now?

The memory card got destroyed

But now, we're going to telecast a live interview with this camera

Look here, Sana

Let me call the Managing Director

All other channels are broadcasting this live feed

Cancel all programmes on our channels...

...and broadcast this

You are now seeing the well known Central Minister, Rishi Dev

But he is a murderer

Turn up the volume

- Who is this? - A Central minister

He killed actress Megha Sharma in her beach house...

...and covered it up saying it was a gas explosion

To stop that video expose from getting leaked...

...he framed false charges on Anamika Raghunath and Arjun Krishna

...and had the Police hunt for them

The memory card that had the footage got destroyed during that chase

But right here, right now...

...he is going to admit that he murdered her

The entire country is watching

What is the Tamil Nadu Police Department doing?

Tell us about the murder

Are you from the opposition party?

Or a terrorist?

What do you want?

You've abducted me...

...do you know what the jail time is?

Apart from the murder you committed...

...you would also not spare anybody who knew about it

An upright sub-inspector of Police, Arumugam...

...the CEO of Channel 24, Raghunath Kumar

...and my friend Raj, who succumbed to your money

...you had all of them murdered

I'm very sorry to hear about your friend's death

But, how could you hold me responsible for it?

What was his name again?

Was he your best friend?

The men who murdered him did it for you...

...because of your political power and financial power

But that won't work with me...

...and with the people watching this

Right now, I am the Court of Law...

...and people watching live are the witnesses

Out with the truth!

I've been involved in politics for the last twenty years

I've risen from the ranks

Do you think I have wealth amounting to millions?

I don't use the Government's money even for filling my car's fuel

You definitely need help

Listen!

You are not going to let me walk out of here alive

You've given orders to shoot me at sight

If you don't admit to the murders...

...I have no other choice but to finish you off

Will you get away scot-free...

...after killing a Central Minister?

Megha Sharma was pregnant with your child, wasn't she?

You didn't even spare that affectionate dog

You look like a college going kid...

...the gun doesn't suit you, kid

You think I won't shoot?

I've been holding the gun for a long time...

...did you see my hand tremble?

It's firm, isn't it?

You have time till I count up to three

You kidnapping me is not a very big offense

I can really get you out of this mess

Listen to me

What's with the counting?

How can I say I murdered someone when I didn't?

If I were to die now, I'd be celebrated as a national hero

Think of what will happen to you You're making a mistake

Who are you messing with?

Pregnant with my child?!

Yes, I killed Megha Sharma

Now what, you can screw me?!

The Police are here Will they arrest me?

Take him Beat him up

Don't let him go till we find that girl

Then kill them both and close the case saying they committed suicide

Look! Who is the criminal?

Yes, I killed Megha Sharma

The Police are here Will they arrest me?

Don't let him go till we find that girl

Then kill them both and close the case saying they committed suicide

Yes, I killed Megha Sharma

The Police are here Will they arrest me?

Don't let him go till we find that girl

Tell me

The camera is on with just one click

Lunch by the sea-side at a beach resort on the very second date!

I must clarify something

What is it?

I've never brought any other girl to a beach resort before

- Really? - Why are you surprised?

Do you think I regularly go out with girls to beach resorts?

No! I believe you

We're only on our second date yet, that's why...

We guys need only one dinner to get to know a girl

Just one dinner?

How?

You shouldn't keep the guy waiting...

...for more than twenty minutes outside the restaurant

Was I very late?

Not bad, you took only 15 minutes

What next?

The girl can be talkative...

...but she must also be slightly bothered about what the guy wants to say

I asked you about your birthday and your work...

Seems like I've passed quite a tough evaluation

Well, no!

You failed with rule number three

The girl can have couple of drinks over dinner

But not to the extent of getting sloshed!

Well, you were downing one drink after the other...

...and to top that, you wanted to have the booze your friend had gifted you

You even invited me over to your apartment

I was kidding

Anamika, will you marry me?

I'll marry you if you won't ask me to cook for you

Promise me you won't cook, and we can get married right away
