Just a minute.

Here you go. It's money too.

What's the matter?

There is 11,528 rupees!

My life savings.

Take it all and get things going!

Happy?

Don't tell Bommi about this, she'll rip me apart!

-Uncle Alapparai. -Quit laughing!

It's for all of you. Split it up equally!

We need 3.25 crores.

About 2,000 times what you've given us.

Three crores?

I don't even know how many zeroes it has.

This is all I have.

Please don't mistake me.

Won't this be enough?

It's not that, uncle?

Uncle!

Your heart is much bigger than a mere three crores!

I don't have much...

Keep it safe.

-Please come. -Sir.

As a bank manager, I should've called the Income Tax Department first.

Sir... How much, sir?

See for yourself.

One and a half lakhs. Twenty thousand. One lakh. Ten thousand. Five hundred.

Your account has been receiving deposits all day from Sholavandhan!

-Can I... make a call? -Yeah.

Sure.

Sholavandhan Post?

-Maara's on the line! -[all clamoring]

Maara, I sent two lakhs to your account. Did you get it?

Munuswamy brother...

How did you raise so much?

-I pledged my land with Arivu. -Give me the phone.

I pushed my sister's wedding for a bit!

The groom will wait until you repay!

-You keep going! -You...

You should've told me! Why did you go to that bloodsucking Arivu?

We can't be bystanders and see you work hard to make our lives better.

It's because you stopped the train, our land prices have skyrocketed!

-Let me speak to Maaran! -Go on!

I sold all my paddy and sent 8,000 rupees. Did you get it?

I did.

-Yes, he got it! -Give it to him!

-Here you go! -Calm down!

Maara, my boy...

Grandpa...

I just plant chilies as there were no rains.

I could only send 500 rupees. Did you get it?

You're struggling without rain...

Why did you do it?

This kid wants to talk to you!

Talk to him! Here you go! Talk!

-Hello?-Selvi?

Uncle Maara,

did you get my money?

How did you get so much money?

From my piggy bank.

Take me in your airplane, too.

Make your donations right away!

Stand in line. Don't cut in.

All of you who chipped in, please eat and go.

Thirty seven thousand. Twelve thousand. Forty thousand. Thirty one thousand.

Look properly! It's 31 lakhs.

Lakhs?

Get the airplanes here real soon, Maara!

I will fly all our people to my daughter's wedding!

No, sir. Let's first get back your lands from Arivu.

I'll come talk to him myself.

Maara...

Mom?

If you're the teacher's son, I'm his wife.

I demanded the documents back from Arivu.

He told us to pay up six months interest anyway.

No one can touch us if we're united!

Victory or defeat, it's all in your hands now!

You'll win, right?

Your father is always with you.

We're all praying for you, son!

Win.

We're counting on you. Win!

Don't cry! He'll win!

Victory is yours.

-Shall I hang up? -Okay, Mom.

All major airports are under Paresh's control.

You'll land your planes in these airstrips?

Indeed. Built in the British era.

Airstrips used for postal delivery and diplomatic trips.

Nehru and Kamaraj have been here.

Abandoned unused airstrips?

How many are there? Two or three?

Five hundred!

Five hundred of these exist across India.

We'll prep them for our planes to land!

The sky belongs to us all!

Let us bide our time to get hold of it!

Let's dispense with the phonies And kick out the shams!

Let's build some iron wings And take to the stars!

Those who call this a fool's errand Just admitted to being fools!

They show up first in line to kiss up When victory is at hand!

Those who call this a fool's errand Just admitted to being fools!

They show up first in line to kiss up When victory is at hand!

The sky is very near! Let us jump up without fear!

It isn't too far off! As we get closer, the dream grows nearer!

What are you saying? Be clear.

For the first time, Indians can book air tickets with credit cards.

How many Indians have credit cards?

They all have telephones, right?

They can call our call center and book tickets.

With a PNR number

they can pick up tickets at their bank or supermarket.

But...

We are trying this with publicly owned computers.

Interworld spends six months just testing this software!

We don't have that kind of luxury.

No one else has tried this here before.

So this is a first in India.

You want to sell your tickets at the railway counter?

Why will I agree to you taking away my business.

You find 10000 people in waiting list for AC coaches every day.

I'll take only those people in my airline.

Just give me a small space next to your reservation counter.

Bottom line is, they need to travel, right?

Alright. It's a great idea!

All the very best, Mr. Maaran.

You're never too old To stop chasing the moon, my friend!

Chase your dreams And there are no worries, dear comrade!

Even if you lose, the world will not mind!

Stand by and do nothing? It will never respect you!

If the battle rages on With even no small victories

Won't it change one day To a celebration sans failures?

BISMI MOBILES SALES & SERVICES

No one else can live your life...

-Call for you! -What is it called?

The company is called Deccan Air. Do you like it?

He is medically unfit.

-Unfit? -Yes.

You bugger off. You come in!

It isn't too far off! As we get closer, the dream grows nearer!

Deccan Air won't get pilots.

We paid them three times more than Maaran did.

They took it!

Dismiss all of them next month.

Brother?

If I can buy them...

anybody can buy them.

Maara is here!

The pilots didn't show up!

-Seby! -Where is he off to?

-Do you get anything he does? -Maara, come soon!

Where are you going? None of our pilots came!

A guy who can buy a government can buy anyone.

There are our pilots.

Retired military aviators who flew fighter jets for India.

There is an age limit! How will this work?

Let me in on the joke!

Air Force pilots retire at 57,

civilian pilots retire at 61.

They can fly for another four years!

Kickass! Two can play this game.

We aren't Madurai folk for nothing.

Captain Rajiv Manohar, he coordinated all this.

Retired as Air Commodore.

I don't believe this. Is this how it is done!

-We need to focus on the airline, uncle! -Yes, yes!

What brings you to the office, boss?

A proposal.

What proposal?

A business proposal!

What business?

Do you embrace all your vendors like this?

Let my catering division take care of your in-flight snacks.

Logistically impossible with just one outlet in Madras.

It is possible!

Who told you Madras was my only base?

I have franchises!

Che's family in Vijayawada. My brother is in Madurai.

Projected monthly turnovers ten lakhs!

That's 1.2 crores per year!

Welcome to Deccan Air, Sundari Nedumaaran!

Don't expect any special treatment. Alright?

You too, don't expect any discounts. Deal.

We're talking business!

Business is done, right?

It's coming!

What's he up to?

What's this? I don't understand!

Like we get everything you say.

When our planes land for the first time

it would be auspicious to land facing east.

You won't get it! Back off!

No! They'll land only as per the designated coordinates!

There you go again!

Never clear.

That's ours, right?

Look, uncle! Our plane is coming!

Chennai Tower, this is Deccan Air 582.

Minimum fuel. Requesting landing clearance.

Go around, Deccan Air 582.
