Original subtitles

'My name is Tamilselvan'

'B.A History'

'Flunked'

'With my bad grades, I knew I won't get a bank manager's post'

'But I had just 1 wish on my list'

'Don't we marry the girl we love?'

'Similarly my wish is to not get any damn job'

'But do what I really love'

'I don't belong to Chennai My home town is Thanjavur'

'I came here to work for a living'

'My parents are no more'

'My sister and brother-in-law are my whole world'

'I was born, brought up and educated here'

'This was my 1st job in Thanjavur'

'No one can ask me if I was not a rip roaring success'

'I ripped a lot to pieces!'

'I wanted to do the work of 10 people'

'But this work was handled by the 10 fingers of my hands'

'It's a cake walk even if you're blind'

'Or no electricity'

'To make envelopes'

'Quit your job in Thanjavur'

'Get a job worthy of your caliber in Chennai'

'So said my bro-in-law'

'A.C.Sakthivel'

'Looking at his build up or his groaning push-ups...'

'...if you think he is Suriya, hero of 'Kaaka Kaaka'

'...or 'Kamal Hassan' of 'Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu' fame'

'...I'm not responsible for your misconception'

'Because A.C.Sakthivel is an Air Condition mechanic'

There are various types of ACs

Window AC is like a wife

However noisy won't be heard outside

Will stick within the 4 walls of the house

Split AC is like a man

All the noise is strictly outside the house

Once inside silent and cool

Car AC is similar to a mistress

Can be switched on and off as and when the need arises

And when you don't need it just scoot and go about your job

Will take time to cool It's summer, right?

Did you call me, uncle?

Hereafter don't worry about not having a degree certificate

Be it a chartered accountant doctor, or engineer

Their original certificates will be in your hands

'No harm at all'

'Nothing can be more torturous than watching a machine work'

'Actually I can't complain too much about this'

'If I start stamping in the morning...'

'...I have to go on with this stamping spree till nightfall'

You're stamping it cross-wise

You stamp right you get paid, right?

'His sarcasm is the final stamp!'

'My bro-in-law is hell bent on finding me a good job'

'But nothing good has turned up till date'

'Life does not have a set pattern'

'Sometimes the right time in a man's life...'

'...can set the pace for an elevated lifestyle'

'Just wait and watch'

'This U-turn will zoom in my life too'

'I will also be on a roll then'

'Everything depends on the right time'

(overlapping voices)

India is surrounded by seas on 3 sides

But there is corruption on all 4 sides

Corruption is stifling Mother India's breath

You are selling votes

And politicians are selling our land

Mr Sathyamurthy is on TV

You can grind your 'chutney' later

Will Sathyamurthy's speech feed you when you're hungry?

Will you watch quietly gawking while your house is being sold?

Only a skilled doctor can save his patients

A clever lawyer can protect justice

Similarly only a good politician can safeguard this country

One man like you is enough to put India on the world map

But you're refraining from stepping into politics

He said in his last meeting...

...he is available anytime to sort out any issue

But our politicians put a full stop after elections

They vanish into thin air

'Though people support Mr Sathyamurthy in his anti-corruption campaign with vigor...'

'...we have to wait and see if this fructifies a change for the better'

If the Wright brothers had thought wrong like you...

...they would have let smoke into the sky instead of aeroplanes

Why think that far?

Take my case for instance

I first set foot in Chennai in 1993

Uncle, jobless, you rattle away instead of focusing on my job

You won't listen to me now

But one day you will read my autobiography

You will wait your turn in a queue to buy and read it

By the way where is Nasa?

Catch her

How dare you complain about my boss to the media?

Catch her

Help me, sir

Who is he? Which group?

How does he know our hideout?

Go outside

Hey! Who are you?

What's your name?

I am not used to telling my name

I am only used to asking

Which one of you is Venu?

You...?

Is it you?

I am Venu

You have the guts to call me by name?

Isn't that why we all have a name?

How did you land up here?

When it is a matter of duty...

...wherever you are, be it any alley, gulley, nook or corner

...I'll track you and stand face to face

And deliver what is required

'When it is a matter of duty...'

'...wherever you are, be it any alley, gulley, nook or corner'

'...I'll track you and stand face to face'

'And deliver what is required'

Courier, huh?

Do I look like a mason?

Sign and take it

I don't know to read or write

Thumb impression case, huh?

Why don't you sell all that gold on your body and get educated?

See you

Bye, rowdies

Nasa, if you can use your gray cells for such a small incident...

...if you got a job in the real NASA in America-

I've poured an extra peg for you

We are discussing here like members of the parliament

Why are you sitting with that pathetic look?

Your job went for a toss again, huh?

What can I do?

I'm unable to find a soul satisfying job

If everyone insists on finding a soul satisfying job

...or marry a girl to the dictates of their heart

...half the people in this world would be jobless

And the other half will be bachelors

So you must learn to like what you get and move on

Advice, huh?

Philosopee!

Whether pee or crap let it out fast

When booze is over he'll make the 'great escape'

Take me for instance

Are you fried seer fish to be taken into my tummy?

Come to the point

The very 1st time I stepped down in Egmore-

You stepped on cow dung, huh?

He pisses me off

Okay, continue

The very first time I stepped down in Egmore

The age you drink beer and chew bubble gum

Go on

I had no idea where to go

You crapped in your pants?

Allow me to finish

You revel in interrupting the other man's flow of thoughts

I only knew this was Chennai But didn't know a single soul here

But today I know this place inside out like my palm-

You delivered Ram Durai's car in K.K Nagar instead of T.Nagar

And vice versa Kumar's car in T.Nagar

And you claim to know Madras for 30 years!

How could you goof up like this?

Go and exchange the cars tomorrow

He and his cronies!

You said there was something in your palm

Check if that's Chennai or an itch in your palm

Your tongue runs a marathon!

Leave it

Even the real Assistant Commissioner...

...won't mention his name with such conviction

He'll come definitely

Your problem is solved

You've been called for an interview tomorrow

It's tough to even get an appointment with her

So be there on the dot

Where can I find Mary madam?

What is 'must be'?

Mary madam-

How can you look for her here?

She is above all this

Go up

This is where he directed me

There isn't anyone in sight

Maybe it is the floor above this

That's the water tank place

Hey young man! Who are you looking for?

I was looking for Mary madam

You carry on, I can look for her myself

Did sore throat Sakthivel send you here?

I am Mary

Got your resume?

Akka...?

Have you brought your resume?

Hey! What's this?

Haven't you got a basic degree?

You could have at least graduated through Open university

Students from IIT and IIM are jobless and loitering around

You could have at least written the TNPC exam

What is that, akka?

Height of ignorance!

If you give this there...

...even the job I do here will be 'gone with the wind'!

Forget it, dude Take my advice

My office is looking for delivery boys

Come and join there

What...a courier job?

No chance

I have to roast in the hot sun

If you want to be in the shade then open a 'pan' shop under a canopy!

A courier has to walk up and down every road

I'll buy you that ikran we saw in 'Avatar' and you can fly on its back

I can book a room in Hotel Chola for him

You can ask your clients to collect the covers there

My head is spinning

Hereafter your head need not spin

You don't have to spin like a top to find a job

I have spoken to my best friend

In Chennai alone, he has 10 to 15 branches

My friend A.C.Sakthivel is coming to meet me regarding a job now

When he was 6 years, he went for a dip in the river Cauvery

He fell into the river and the current dragged him away

As if he will be dragged away by Tamannaah if he falls into the river

Come to the point

I dived in and saved his life

Don't treat him like everyone else

This friendship is not based on money, fame or home-town kinship

It's a divine bond crossing all these barriers

Time for my conference

Note that

Bring me the audit file

- Muthusamy - Yes, madam?

A man by name A.C.Sakthivel will soon be here to see our boss

His childhood friend it seems

You know what our boss told me about him?

The reason I am here is only because of him

More than that...

...I am alive all because of him

He will reel out colorful stories like this

Don't believe any of it

We share the misfortune of belonging to the same town

I have no other link with him

When he comes, tell him I've gone abroad

For 1...no, 6 months and send him away

If he does not go ask the watchman...

...to throw him out by the scruff of his neck

What do you want?

I don't want anything

He deserves this and much more

Is this Mr A.C.Sakthivel?

He won't step in here again

Why?

Because he just died a 100 deaths a while ago

How do you know?

Because we are about to cremate him

Sir, watch your step

I can't bear it

We've reached the hospital

Get down Watch your step

Careful...careful

What happened?

She suddenly complained of stomach cramps

Duty doctor will see you

Bear the pain for a few more minutes

Pay the auto driver

I'll get the stretcher

Please bear the pain, dear

Please hold on, dear

Your wife has suffered a miscarriage

Our neighbors are walking to a temple tomorrow

Let them go

I would like to join them too

But you can't even walk around a shopping mall

Every joint of yours will ache You'll be flat for 2 hours

How will you walk the whole journey?

They claim if I tie a toy cradle to the neem tree over there...

...we'll be blessed with a baby

Look, we will be blessed with a baby only if we are destined

How many doctors we have consulted?

I don't want to ruin your faith

Go, because you want to

What time should you leave?

4:00 a.m tomorrow

Now go to bed

Tell me, dude

What should I tell you?

You are our witness, I say

No sign of you That's why I called

Where are you?

Sorry, dude I clean forgot

What the heck!

We've been sitting here in court waiting for you

Okay, I'll be there

What are you doing?

Sleeping What do you want?

Still sleeping? It's past noon

By now all the wine shops must have minted money!

Why are you rambling? What do you want?

I have to be in court

I forgot, please go and deliver the covers for me

What?

No way

For my sake, please

Royal pain!

Sir, who's Kavya here?

I'm a customer Go in and check

I went out of my way to come all the way here

Now I must go inside, huh?

Is it air-conditioned inside?

It's a wonder if lights work in this shop

There's power outage Should be back in a while

Is it so? Okay, I'll adjust

- Sir, who's Kavya? - What do you want?

- She's got a courier - Go upstairs and check

If you see her, give it to her

Otherwise drop it in that dust bin over there

Ordering me around

Then who will sign?

As if he's popular hero Ajith and we want his autograph

Who the heck is he?

Kavya, please come here

'Is this the Kavya I had to deliver the cover to?'

Did you check the consignment?

Not yet, Kavya

You know I don't like it if you shirk your work?

Sir, I'm a youngster who has got lots to learn

You are old and experienced

When I walked off in a huff shouldn't you have said...

'Sonny, wrong, this is not the way to deliver'

'You must find the recipient wherever she may be'

'Hand it over to her and get her signature'

Will you just take it if I drop it here?

I'm young, sir

Please don't play with my future

I missed by a hair's breadth!

You have a table and chair at the reception to top it all

It's wrong Very wrong

Mr Kesari, getting late for the function

Waiting only for you

Hurry up, sir

Give me a minute

(Hindi Bhajan)

Distribute sweets to everyone

Your sugar level might go up, watch it

Please help yourself

You sang very well

Kavya?

'If she feels the same way I do...'

'...then our love will definitely bloom!'

Thank God, power is back

What?

"Praise be to Lord Rama"

In the middle of the night a husky voice singing such a song?

Could it be the souls of the dead freedom fighters?

"Praise be to Lord Rama"

"Praise be to Rama who wed Sita, who purifies even the sinners"

Usually boys will dream of...

...Kareena Kapoor and Kajal Aggarwal

But for a change, Gandhiji walks in my friend's dream!

This patriotism sure is an all time national record!

I love you, darling

No more film songs from now on

Did he say love?

Shouldn't sleep with one who is in love

Or a tuberculosis patient

The latter will kill with his coughing stint

The lover will kill with his lament

"Praise be to Lord Rama"

"Praise be to Rama who wed Sita, who purifies even the sinners"

How can you sleep irresponsibly with an interview this morning?

Water is the best alarm!

In an urgent situation, I'm unable to get a good bad word to cuss you

Why are you laughing like a buffalo coughing?

Why have you tied a pillow like a head phone sticking out?

The way your bro-in-law tortured me, I could've shut my ears with doors

Like a bride on her wedding night he didn't let me sleep at all

Just now this body got shut down and you restarted it immediately

If you disturb me again...

...I'll stick a coin in your belly button and throw you inside the well

Get lost

Fine, treat me like a clay clone of Ganesha

My bro-in-law has gone for his interview 1/2 an hour early!

That's what matters You sleep, my prince

- What, my boy? - When will you open the store?

Very soon What do you want?

Kavya-

Whaaat?

I want to buy 'khadi' material

When youngsters these days loiter in faded shirts and torn jeans...

...you're insisting on buying hand spun fabric

And waiting for the store to open

When I think of you, I get goose bumps

Basically we are from a 'khadi' family

They will open in another few minutes

Please wait

"Maya O Maya What did you do to me?"

"I sent you a letter through my eyes, dear"

"Maya O Maya I followed you"

"Yearning like a shadow"

"I've never felt dizzy about anything"

"This love is a heartache's offspring"

"Without you seeing me even I watch you 24x7"

"Aiyo...aiyaiyo!"

"When this tender love and care invades you from nowhere..."

"...like a few pegs with verve intoxicates your cranial nerve"

"Open your eyes to see it is a dream only"

"Poor you! Got caught Love's web and what not!"

It's okay, get me that courier job

You may have to roast in the sun

So can I buy an ikran like in the film 'Avatar'?

How will you walk up and down every road?

So can I check into Hotel Chola?

And ask everyone to come and collect it?

Tell them, akka

Before he changes his mind...

...convince your boss and get him that job

I want to cover only Parry's corner area

Like the 'kumkum' dots on 'Ayudha pooja'

...why do you tattoo my forehead?

"Love is just a wave from the sea"

"Wants to touch the shore eagerly"

"Once it reaches the shore"

"...it dissolves in silence once more"

"Are you aware, for your sake"

"...a heart beats asleep or awake?"

"Without talking to you I talk to myself, so new"

"Aiyo...aiyaiyo!"

"If this tender love and care invades you from nowhere..."

"...like a few pegs with verve intoxicates your cranial nerve"

"You'll open your eyes to see it is a dream only"

"Poor you! Got caught In love's web and what not!"

"Love after it is expressed will vanish once professed"

"Love that's nestled in the heart will bloom forever like a work of art"

"If by chance she rejects me my life will leave me instantly"

"What happens to my love, dearie? My mind will be in a quandary"

"Aiyo...aiyaiyo!"

"Maya O Maya, my dear With my eyes I sent you a letter"

"Maya O Maya I followed you Yearning like a shadow"

"Uncs, aiyo...aiyo Love is a game, oh!"

"Like Temple run it will make you run a marathon, dude"

"Like Angry Birds it will hit your chest"

"And make you fly in a tizzy east or west"

'Did I join this job rather impulsively?'

'Thought if I take up this job, she'll get a cover delivered daily'

'I can develop my love using this delivery as an excuse'

'Not even a single delivery near that street'

'Can't someone send a cover?'

It doesn't seem to tally

You attend to this I'll be back

She won't come

What?

If she suddenly says she won't come, how is it fair?

Ask her to come

It will take some time Give me the cover

How is it possible?

Our company also has rules and regulations

We must deliver only to the recipient

I just have to wait a little longer, right?

It will take 2 hours

That's okay

Even if it takes 1 whole day, I'll wait and deliver it

But she is-

Will you let me do my job?

Please go and arrange those dolls

'He is definitely a madcap'

Hey! Didn't I ask you to collect the courier?

I believe he will only hand it over to you

Duty, dignity, discipline

If I don't finish my job, I can't even sleep

I asked you to hand over the cover and leave

A minor issue here

I'll resolve it and call back

Sorry, you said something

I had asked you to give it and go

Why didn't you do so?

How can I leave without seeing you?

How can I leave without delivering it to you and getting your signature?

If we go to a temple and the shrine is closed

Do we just see the priest, place our offering and return without seeing God?

That's it Do you get it?

Here you are

Kavya, come here for a minute

I'm coming, madam

Don't you think this is too much?

You're looking at it as if she hugged and kissed you

And gave it to you as a gift

You stole it from her, right?

That too circling it as if it's a globe

Whatever you say, this pen is special

Not only this

Even if it's an used clip of hers

Or the mug she has sipped coffee from

They are all precious to me

To collect the tossed mugs and plates...

...there are peddlers going around with sacks

Don't rob them of their daily wages!

If you want your love to be promoted...

...try to get her feelings on display

'Consider it done'

'Where is my girl?'

Check the number of towels

Is no one here in this counter?

Hey! Go and get the cover

He'll talk rules and regulations to me

You go yourself

What do you want, sir?

Go and sit there

Go

Hand over the courier and leave

I'm not here to deliver a courier

I'm here as your customer to buy a shirt

- Tell me the size - Take a guess?

Tell me-

It's 40

All these are 40

Take your pick

That row-

Those are very expensive

If the customer asks please show it

Which one do you want?

Can you get that?

- This one? - Not that

One that matches your dress...that blue

No, I like blue

Pay the bill at the counter

Your shirts will be sent over there

We can deal with the payment later

Let me first try it out

Hello, it's enough if you try out just one

Then what about the rest?

The rest are all same size, same fit

No, I don't want to take that risk

I'll be right back

Looks like he's jobless

How are you so bang on?!

What do you want?

Am I looking good?

My job is to only give you the shirt of your choice?

Whether it looks good or the fit is right, all that-

All that?

Is up to you

Why are you getting so tensed for this?

A boyfriend will only ask his girlfriend

If the girlfriend likes it the boyfriend will buy it

In the case of a married couple...

...the husband will ask his wife

He'll buy if his wife approves

What I'm trying to say is for those who shop as a pair...

...the girlfriend or wife will help

But for someone unattached like me...

...if as a sales girl you don't voice your opinion

...how can I decide?

Is it looking good on me?

Oh! Maybe it is a bit too plain

One minute

Can I help you?

We have an appointment with the gynecologist

Register over there They will call you

Ma, sit here

I'll register her name

If I give birth to a baby boy...

...it seems your mother has taken a vow to break 108 coconuts

My father wanting a granddaughter has already broken 1008 coconuts

Even my brother and sister-in-law want a baby boy it seems

Let them have a baby boy of their own

I want a daughter

Please wait outside

Doctor will call you

I saw the reports

From now on you must be careful

You'll have initial nausea

Don't worry

Take adequate rest

Eat well

Most important be happy all the time

This is vitamin supplement

Take according to my prescription

When should we come next, doctor?

I'll see you on the 2nd

Our daughter-in-law will soon give us a grandson, dear

Buy new clothes and 'biriyani' for all the workers in our mill

Call our uncle in Andheri

Inform our sister-in-law also

A fire engine just sped past Now another one

Why?

A huge fire accident

Most probably a short circuit problem

Is it an old building?

Right from our college days Khadi Bhavan has been a landmark

Sorry, akka

What's wrong with you?

I heard there was a fire in Khadi

That's the branch in Mount road

That fire has been extinguished and it's all back to normal

This smoke...?

Noor Bhai

Fan the incense all over his head

He comes daily, won't even take out his wallet

Wonder why he even comes!

I was so embarrassed

As it is that girl doesn't give me even a first glance!

I have no idea what to do now

The girl is to be blamed, not you

Why do you say so?

What if there is a manufacturing defect in the model you picked?

Some boys hate the sight of girls

Oh! That type

Some girls can't stand the sight of boys

Is that so?

Like the film 'Fire'

Some won't have the word 'love' in their dictionary at all

In their book of 'life'...

...the page 'wedding' will be totally missing

So figure out which type your model fits into

Feeling sleepy?

Slight

I preached too long, right?

Kind of boring

Go to bed

Help me somehow, dude

First courier a letter to her with these exact words

'Obstacles in getting married?'

'Frustration in life?'

'Love failure?'

'Whatever your problem we can solve it for you'

'Free phone call Immediate wedding'

Who could have sent this?

Thank God!

What are you looking for?

The exit door

You mark your attendance like our Khadi Bhavan staff daily

And you won't know the way to go out?

I know

Oh! The door is over there

If there is a door it should lead out, no?

I can find my way

I need to talk

Nasa, bang on!

Sure, we can talk

I am-

You are?

I'm working here for the past 3 years

Once a year on 'Gandhi jayanthi' I'll get a package through courier

After which till October 2nd of the next year I won't get any

But very strange I get a package delivered daily

Sometimes 2 or 3 on the same day

What is happening?

Looks like you're saying just to see you...

...I pick up some trash and courier it to you

I have 101 better things to do

I didn't mean it that way

Then...?

If you have that kind of thought brewing inside you, think again!

I'm already committed to someone

I'm also committed

Acting pricey

I'm also committed

You can go

Tigers and chicks in our town are few and far between

Male-female ratio is 1000-600

Dating a chic chick...

...is like getting a ticket on any train during Christmas

Very tough

'Only the girl who opens her mouth will eat the fritter'

Go and express your love to her face to face

I'm behind her 24x7

How is she committed without my knowledge?

I should profess my love directly

'Wondering why you've got a courier at your doorstep?'

'Not just this'

'I was the one who sent all the couriers you got so far'

'Kavya, it was love at first sight for me'

'Only to see you daily I took up a job I hated'

'The more I saw you I started liking my job'

'The moment you said you are committed...'

'...my blood pressure that shot up has not reduced till now'

'I swear on my mother'

'When I told you I was committed...'

'...I meant only you'

It hurts

I can't bear it

I can't tolerate the pain

We tried our best

Your wife has miscarried

How can that be, doctor?

She took all the medicine just as you prescribed

I didn't let her lift even a teaspoon!

How could it happen?

Selvaraj, this can happen to anyone

Don't blame yourself

I told you not to get married to her

Did you listen to me?

I thought she would give us a heir very soon

Wretched girl! She killed our heir

She could have died instead

What happened?

Call for help

Quick

Don't know who she is

She jumped from the balcony before I could even warn her

I thought she was simply standing there

Looks very young What happened?

She had an abortion just this morning it seems

Is that why she committed suicide?

Poor thing!

I carried out the abortion for Meena just as we planned

I completed all other procedures

Don't worry

We'll find the perfect match for your eyes

You'll get your vision back

When my brother lost his vision...

...our group of companies lost all hope and confidence

We were at a dead end

We tried many avenues but had no luck at all

What you've done now is a miracle

I don't know how to thank you

On behalf of my brother please accept 5 million Euro

Akka?

Oh! You're here

Why are you looking off color?

Just a headache That's all

I'll take you to the hospital

I just took her to the clinic in the next street

She's saying it's just a headache

And you took her to the clinic

What happened?

Nothing to get tensed about

Your sister has conceived Doctor told us just now

Bro-in-law!

I'm so thrilled

Don't give birth to a hodgepodge like this man

Give us a cute baby girl like you

Uncle, don't take her to these random roadside clinics

We have to choose the best hospital for akka

Soon a small voice will be born here

Which will start prattling in this scraggy tone

When are you treating us?

You want a treat?

Scraggy tone, huh?

I thought of ordering an extra beer for you

Now you get zilch Go to bed

I know what you'll be up to after packing us off to bed

Let your wife take rest tonight

"Drinks on the terrace, friend?"

"Or in a shop in a dead end"

"A star filled room as godsend"

"Rock and roll in a tipsy tide"

"Everything else sweep aside"

"No control, be reckless"

"Burn to ashes your shyness"

"What if the chicken is blind?"

"Taste is what satiates the mind"

"Make merry...have a ball 'Cheers' to brave hearts all"

"Let your hair down Dude, all smile, no frown"

"A world without pleasure Dude, what joy will it offer?"

"Make merry...have a ball 'Cheers' to brave hearts all"

"Kick up your heels Dude, shake on new deals"

"A world without pleasure Dude, what bliss will it offer?"

"Muniamma...my country chick"

"Serve me pickle, a spicy kick"

"If no pickle to lick give me your finger, quick!"

"Your body spurs the adrenalin Doubt if you're a girl or gin"

"It sparkles, it shines to the tip It lures, it allures, what is it?"

"Make merry...no hiccup See double, live it up"

"Go the extra mile and yard Dude, let down your guard"

"If it is zippo...?"

Push the tempo!

I've been researching for quite a few years now

You're aware some diseases can be cured with medicine

Diseases that can't be cured with medicine...

...can be cured by surgery

But what about diseases both medicine and surgery can't cure?

I'll show you some clippings now

He's a millionaire in Germany

In an accident his optical nerve was severed and he lost his vision

Through my research he has regained his eyesight

He is now able to see up to a distance of 5 meters

This man is a renowned football player in Europe

He got injured while playing a match

Hurt his spinal cord and was bed-ridden

Through my research he's taking toddler steps now

If he plays football again...

...his club is willing to pay us any amount, sky is the limit

Likewise I've cured several patients suffering from Alzheimer's, Parkinson's

Through my research

For such patients my research is...

...their last hope

As soon as a woman conceives, the cells that develop in her embryo...

...are called stem cells

These stem cells grow in the fetus

And develop into different organs like eyes, heart etc...

...to become a newborn baby

But this stage is of no use to us

We need the cells that grow in the fetus in the early stage

Quality of being able to change into any muscle or organ...

...is the unique characteristic of fetal stem cells

Apart from the fetal stem cells...

...from the bone marrow and umbilical cord in our body

...we can also get stem cells

People now are storing umbilical cord stem cells...

...for future use in stem cell clinics

But the disadvantages are their count and quality

Stem cells' ability to change themselves...

...is to a much lesser degree when compared to fetal cells

So what we need is the fetal stem cell only

In order to get this...

...immediately after conception it should lead to an abortion

How is that possible?

Out of 100 only 1 or 2 patients will miscarry at this early stage

What if 20 or 30 abortions happen?

How can that happen?

It won't happen of its own accord

We have to make it happen

When women miss their menstrual periods...

...they will come to us to check if they're pregnant

If confirmed...

...claiming this to be nutritional supplements we must prescribe this

If they continue to take this pill...

...they will suffer from severe stomach cramps

At once they will come rushing to our hospital

Under the pretext of check-up, we must carry out the abortion

And take out stem cells in the early stages from the fetus

Through cold storage we must preserve these cells

And dispatch for research to European countries

I started these abortions only in Europe

But the level of awareness is rather high there

I know what you prescribed to my sister was illegal

I will come with the cops to put you behind bars

Unfortunately we had to deal with him this way

No one can stop me

Media and police got wind of my research

And they came to our lab to search

Since they couldn't find any evidence, we escaped

- What was the research about? - Stem cells

Not being able to continue such a lucrative research...

...when my partner was perturbed

...I told him not to worry

I offered to take this Operation to another country

That country too has rules and regulations

But the rule followed by everyone...

...break the rules

That's when I decided to bring this Operation to India

Isn't it a sin?

They will feel bad for the first 6 months

Then they will conceive and be back again

Whether we stand #1 or not in any field...

...no one can beat our census

For research we require hundreds of fetal stem cells

At the same time

We should have almost 50-60 abortions

If this hospital alone handles so many abortions...

...it will hit the headlines

Press and media will bury me alive

You take on Madurai You handle Coimbatore

You deal with Kanyakumari district

This is a very sensitive issue

Doctors won't volunteer

Even if a woman miscarries naturally...

...those stem cells cannot be used for research

The agreed amount will be credited to your account

- Sir? - Yes, dear

I need to take off half a day tomorrow

Why?

A prospective groom is coming to see me

I'm really happy to hear that

Every event should happen at that specific time

What's the groom doing?

Works in a software company

You carry on

I'm also best!

You check the accounts

Aren't we tallying it daily?

Everything is normal

Please wait outside Chief doctor will call you

Please follow the prescription and take this medicine

'My name is Manikandan'

'I'm working in Lakshmi hospital in Salem as a ward boy'

Time for the meeting Bring it fast, bro

Wait, toner is empty

I have to fix it and then bring

Can I bring blank sheets?

Why didn't you give it earlier?

You can't rush me at the last minute

Sarathy, my phone is missing

Can I use yours?

Phone is ringing but no one is picking up

'Under the guise of nutritional pills...'

'...fetuses of pregnant women are being aborted deliberately'

Why are you here so late?

I forgot my cell phone, Sabapathy

Okay, bro

Where is Manikandan?

He has gone to his home town

Can you give me details of this slip?

Delivery was yesterday

A man came yesterday after the booking time

He wanted to send urgently some medicine, prescriptions...

...to Mr Sathyamurthy in Chennai

You know, that social activist

He wanted to send it to him

I was the one who sent that cover to head office as emergency

And dispatched it

Don't worry, sir

We have been in this business for 20 years

We've never been accused of 'late delivery'

That cover should have reached Chennai by now

We are in deep trouble, doctor

One of the ward boys in my hospital found out our plans

So he has couriered the list of hospitals, doctors, medicine samples

...to Mr Sathyamurthy in Chennai He's that popular social activist

When I inquired, they say the cover would've reached by now

If that cover reaches his hands...

...media will crucify us

We will all rot in Tihar jail and die

That isn't the po-

Fax me the courier slip

Tell me, sir

Go at once to the main hub of Professional couriers

They have an important cover concerning us

It should be delivered to my table

I'll send you the courier details

Start the car

Sir, my name is Manikandan

I had sent a courier from Salem to Mr Sathyamurthy in Chetpet

But I'm here in Madras now

I would prefer to give it directly

I can't divulge anything over the phone

You come with your identity proof

I'll try to help

I coming immediately! Please Hold it sir.

Sir, please check the status

It has been sent for dispatch Check over there

I called you a little while ago

I need the details of this courier, sir

I have the required ID proof, sir

Okay, let me check

This one...this is the one

The courier boy took it for delivery just now

Mr Sathyamurthy is a VIP

Won't be proper to send it through a courier

Please call the boy, sir

- We'll give it in person - I can't call him back

At least tell us where he is We can collect it

I can't do as per your whims and fancy

At least call him It's really urgent

Why don't you get what I am saying?

Understand our situation

This is your area cover

What happened, sir?

Maybe he's in the midst of traffic, he isn't picking up

Please try once more

What a bother!

Wait a minute This is the list

By now he must have delivered in these places

Then he has to deliver in and around Sterling road area

After that, he will go to Chetpet

And deliver it to Mr Sathyamurthy

In about half an hour

- Half an hour? - Yes, sure

What do we do?

There's been an accident to one of our trucks

Really?

Check this please

1 minute, sir

Wait...I'll be back

Sir, courier has been dispatched

But the route list is with me

I'll follow that route and get him

It should not be delivered

Sir, don't worry

I'll take care

The delivery places are all within 2-3kms only

He may not stick to the route completely

Be ready in the spot I assign each one of you

If you see the courier catch hold of him and call me

I'll keep an eye out for him also

Most important, be alert

- Where are you? - On the way to the office, sir

Go to S.V.Luggage corner in Nelson Manickam road now

A courier boy will come there

He has a cover we need to collect

If he comes, keep talking to him

I'm coming there

Sir, Mr Kadiresan?

I am Kadiresan What do you want, sir?

I want a job in the Railways

Can you get me?

You've got a courier

Sign here and take it

Who could have sent this to me?

As if his father's name is wrong on his ID card...

...he is staring at it fishily

Where is S.V.Luggage shop?

Near that signal

Sir, where are you going?

Can't you hear the child crying?

Let me take a look I'll be back

One look at you, the child may cry even more

If any customer walks in instead of staring at him lazily...

...catch hold of him

Is he water from a tap that I catch a bucketful?

What kind of dreadful livelihood is thi-

Sir, did any courier boy come in here?

Only the Bhai who spreads incense will walk in soon

You want smoke on your face?

Why are you getting angry, sir?

All I asked was if a courier boy came here?

I am allergic to couriers and arrears

You've come into a shop selling bags

Want to buy a bag?

You buy this I can give this free

No need

Then out you go

Is he there?

Not yet, sir

He hasn't come here as yet

I'll wait here and tackle him

Don't cry, my precious

Hello again, sir

Why are you disturbing your grandpa while at work?

Grandpa?!

She's my daughter

If you tell her when she grows up even she won't buy it!

Sign here

Take care of your granddaughter

Darling, want lollipop or an ice cream?

Sir, where is the owner?

I'm the owner of this shop for the past 20 years

Then the man sitting here?

He's a stupid courier boy

What?

How did he escape!

Sir, I just missed him

What the 'ef' were you doing?

Do you know how important that cover is?

What's his bike number?

I didn't see the number, sir

But he was in a green shirt

Which side did he go?

Don't know exactly

But he went towards Loyola college

Turn...turn

Go to Loyola college

Shucks

Hurry...hurry up

So bloody important And he screwed up

Hey! Watch it

Black Splendor?

Green shirt

Turn...turn the car

He is the one...turn

Wait...stop...stop

Don't know where he turned now

Isn't he just pressing a shirt?

He's making sounds like he is pressing heroine Samantha's back?

Who is 'rotten tooth Sekar' here?

Close your mouth

You're showing me ID proof as if you're applying for a passport?

You've got a courier

Please read it out to me, bro

Pancake face! I am up to my neck in work

Don't get angry

You should only get angry because I called you 'pancake face'

I don't know to read

Did I stop you from studying and force you to iron shirts?

Please read it out to me

You're as honest as King Harischandra

You're as brave as Netaji Subash Chandrabose

In being united you are like Nelson Mandel-

Eyes are donated after one is dead

But even when alive...

...you've asked many hospitals if your kidney or liver is needed

I have never met a good-hearted soul like you

In a nutshell...

...you are Annadurai in intelligence

To shower mercy on the depressed...

...you're Mother Teresa

Not even lending an ear to all this praise...

...you're busy pressing that skirt

May I know your name?

Who wrote this letter to you?

It's 110 degrees thanks to the sun scorching overhead

I'm holding in my hand 150 degrees heat

Pressing and folding again and again is my job

You've delivered covers to so many people

Have you ever delivered a package to anyone like me?

Only if someone sends you can I deliver it to you

If you wear a new shirt...

...people only ask 'where did you buy this?'

Do they ask 'who ironed it?'

Lunatic!

I am stuck in this kind of monotonous routine

Don't I need an entertainment?

That's why I sent this letter to myself, sir

Don't I need some relaxation?

Hey! Even the director who made 'Bahubali' did not relax

He has started filming its sequel

Why do you need to relax when you just iron clothes?

How come you are back home so early?

I need to meet someone very important

I thought I can freshen up

Who is it? For what?

If it is okayed, you'll be the 1st person I will tell

Did you eat?

I have no appetite

I feel very tired

Did you take the pills the doctor prescribed?

No

How can you be so careless?

Where is it?

He asked me to take this after dinner, not now

Keep coming up with excuses

You'll take care of everyone

And neglect your own needs

Take it later, I'll keep it near this photo of your favourite God

I need to go urgently

There he is

He whizzed past

One more chance

Sir, please stop

You'll get hurt

I have to go urgently

I am head deep in work

If you don't give me a lift I'll lose my head, sir

I beg of you

Okay, sit

Sat...?

Go fast, sir

What's the urgent mission?

Is your wife giving birth to a baby?

Nothing like that, sir

Any problem, you want to go to the police station?

Only because of a few good souls like you in town

...bars sell cool beer

But as per the proverb 'it rains' not bar and beer

Both rain and beer contain water that we drink

Gutter also has water Will you drink that?

Where do you want to go now?

Sir...stop...stop

Don't be in a rush

Wait and watch

Couch potato!

Is he a friend of yours?

No, sir

He refused to give me a lift

Bloody scumbag

But I gave you a lift

- So why fight? - Wait, sir

It's a dowry-gift, right?

Will you wear out if you give me a lift?

Hey! Come, I have tonnes of work to do

Tea for neglecting me, huh? He and his deadpan look!

You poured boiling hot tea on him

He's boiling mad Let's go

Sir immediately obliged when I asked for a lift

You bloody broomstick!

Drink his piss to become as noble as him!

Why drag me into your fight?

Only then he will reform

Just shut up and come

Why does this rhino need coolers?

You're a gentleman

Why is the cannon turning my way?

If you're jobless go and sleep whole day through

Don't offer lifts to such lazy louts

Will you ever offer a lift to anyone else in your life?

I won't ask for a lift either

Thank you, sir

He had the gall to hit you

Let's go and nab him

You want us now to be bruised black and blue by him?

Rotten 'roti' face! I have work up to my neck

Where did you want to go in such a hurry?

To the wine shop, sir

Only if I go in the morning and drink a cool beer...

...my hand will stop shaking!

If you ride a bike yourself...

...the police will nab you for drunken diving

So you're a stray dog who thumbs for a lift?

All this in between is for entertainment value

Are you still waiting to ride pillion?!

You deserve to be-

You said a prospective groom was coming to see you today

And you're still sitting here

He said he would meet me here

You've advanced leaps and bounds!

Not bad, I thought you were a regular stick in the mud

But how can I not know him?

Is it your neighbor who was falling all over you?

One of your cousins who was drooling around you all the time?

I tied a 'rakhi' 5 years ago accepting him as my bro

Enough of this suspense

Where did you meet him?

The 1st time I met him...

'...he came to hand me a courier'

'There was some spark in him'

'I don't know why'

'I flipped for him from day one'

'From then on he started following me like a lost pup'

'I thought he was also like all other guys'

'But I was wrong'

'Imagine how special I must have been to him'

'Just to see me daily he took up this courier job'

'And gave me covers to impress me'

'I knew right then he was the one sending all those covers to me'

You know when I fell for him?

'When the fire accident was somewhere else...'

'...he thought the shop I work in was ablaze'

'He was so flustered I might have been hurt'

'You should have seen the scene he made'

'Only that day his eyes showed me the depth of his love'

From that day on I started reciprocating his love

'To find out if I love him he played a trick on me'

'I turned the tables on him'

'But when I told him I am committed...'

'...I meant only him'

'I knew very well he also meant only me'

Poor thing!

Why do you torment him when you know he loves you?

If not your lover, who else can you torment?!

Whatever you may say he must have felt terrible

Even before I got the newspaper in the morning, I got his love letter

He said outright 'I love you, Kavya'

'My mom barged into my room all of a sudden'

'I didn't know how to react'

What, ma?

I'm going to the temple with your father, food is on the table

Eat when you're hungry

'I'll be waiting for you at the coffee cafe tomorrow'

'If you don't come-'

'Be there, Kavya, please'

I'm anyway meeting the man I'll marry

That's why got the day off saying 'prospective groom'

What a schemer!

I thought you were this naive babe

Very astute

Before the hero flips the heroine fell flat, huh?

Have you left?

We are all here in court

Even the judge has come

I'm coming there

I'll give the covers to Kodhandam to deliver

Don't delay, come soon

Okay, I'll be there

Tell me

Kodhandam, I have to go to court

Collect the covers from me

I'm stuck in a situation where I cannot come

My load is too much

Tell someone else please

Sorry, don't get me wrong

Hello, tell me

I have to go to court as witness

Kodhandam ditched me in the last minute

Please deliver the covers for me

No chance

You know where I'm going and how important it is

I know, but just this once For my sake

Only 1 cover

The rest I can deliver on the way to court

Bro! Why did you stop there? U-turn and come around

No way! I have to ride a mile for that

For a hot babe, you will ride all around town jobless

For a friend, you won't even go a mile, huh?!

Shut up!

No time for all that now

I'll wait here only till he packs the bouquet for Kavya

Listen to this pearl of wisdom

The eyes you donate

And love that a girl doesn't validate...

...can belong to anyone any day

- What's your bloody problem? - Why get so stressed?

'No Entry' sign doesn't apply to me

If you give me 100 bucks...

...I can dash over in lightning speed

You snail nosed fellow!

Won't cost me that much to go up to even Erode

You want 100 bucks to cross the road?

Clear off!

Your call then

That florist will be done in 2 minutes

What, da?

How much longer?

Wait, I say

You donut-head!

Lady Luck is flashing her teeth at you today

Here's 20 bucks

Hand this cover to him safely

Go

Why are you staring blankly at me?

Cross the road carefully

Mistaking you for a pumpkin used to de-spell on New moon...

...a lorry driver might run over you, hurry up

Sir that's him!

Follow me

Sir, I'm a cripple Please stop

Why are you moving slower than a trash-loading lorry?

Your 20 bucks gets only this speed

100 bucks Just as you asked

Now move faster

100 bucks

Stop...stop

Stop the car

Wait...wait

100 bucks!

Con-man of the year!

Stop

Here you are, sir

We've been looking for you all day

Went all the way to your office too

You have the cover I sent

I have ID proof with me

Please hand me the cover

Does your brain spark into action only 3 hours later?

Unnecessarily courier a cover

And then come rushing to retrieve it

- What's his name? - Sathyamurthy, sir

Chetpet

Yes, that's the one

Oh no! I just asked my friend to deliver it

Whom did you give it to? Which side did he go?

He just left

Don't worry It will reach safe

Sir...sir...wait

Dammit!

What happened?

We found the courier boy

But he handed it over to his friend!

He left before we could find out who the friend is

He says it may have been delivered

Whoever has the cover...

...it will be delivered only at Sathyamurthy's house

Or it should have already reached

'Listen to me'

'Sathyamurthy is a follower of Gandhi's ideals'

'So he won't like this security business'

- Who do you want to see? - Mr Sathyamurthy

'Make 2 of our boys wait downstairs'

'Go up and talk to him directly'

'Whatever your problem, come and meet me'

'He says this in every meeting like a broken record'

Good morning, sir

We need to talk to you

We are from the Lions club of Tirunelveli

There is a chemical factory in our town

They are mixing their waste in our water

We use that polluted water to drink, cook, for everything, sir

Hello, who is this?

We tried contacting the factory owner, but didn't get any response

We then filed a police complaint

No action was taken Only you can help us

How long has it been since you filed the complaint?

And what did you say was the collector's name?

Well! His name is-

-Yes? - Sir...you?

Wow! I am such a big fan of yours

Daily I watch you on TV

I have a courier for you

Here, sir

Even last week, you were in a protest, fasting at the beach

I was passing by that way

Same way in 2010 also, in Tirupur they created a huge problem

We protested to the best of our ability

We didn't get any favorable result

As usual they used political clout

Sir, could I have some water please?

You-

Who are you?

Why did you try to steal my cover?

Where are you from?

What are you doing?

Let go of me

Hey! That courier chap is back

I'll see what he wants

Let go of me

Can I help you?

Sir...isn't sir there?

He is busy in a meeting What do you want?

He forgot to return my pen

If all you want is a pen, then take mine and leave

No, I want my own pen back

It's okay, take this

My girlfriend gifted it to me I want only that pen

Won't you understand? Take this and go now

You're the one not understanding the love behind this gift

I can't even start my bike without it

Don't keep harping on a pen, get lost!

Why are you shoving me away when I'm talking to you politely?

You go if you want I will wait and collect it

You can't wait Leave right now

I didn't mean to push you But you kept badgerin-

Let go of me

Take the cover and run

Don't worry about me

Go

Don't just stand there and stare

GO

What the heck are you doing?

He's already up here Come up, quick

He's upstairs it seems

Nab him

Dammit!

He escaped through an alley

Get on your bikes and find him

We missed him

Go...go, as fast as you can

Hey you...stop

Get him

He's getting away

Catch him

His phone seems to be switched off

Is that so?

Why don't you try calling the shop?

I already did

No sign of him there either

Manikandan, who couriered the cover to you...

...works as a ward boy, in a private hospital in Salem

I checked with the courier office

The envelope only contained prescriptions and samples

No...no, I don't buy that

For a mere prescription why would thugs barge into my house...

...threaten and beat me up?

Thankfully that courier chap landed at my doorstep at the right time

God only knows if he's safe now

To nab the gang and save the courier boy...

...the police are patrolling all over the city

Hey! That's him

Check that side

You come over here

Shucks!

Hello, who's this?

Can I talk to Manikandan?

You are...?

It's urgent, I need to speak with him about a courier he sent

He passed away in an accident today, sir

Tragic, a hit and run case by a speeding van, sir

He is dead...?

I'll take care of the courier

I want Manikandan who sent this courier killed

He has no chance of escaping now

Take immediate action

What is going on here?

The one who couriered the cover to me is not alive

They barged into my house and hit me because it was sent to me

I'm only concerned about the courier who has that cover

I'm worried about his safety

There's no way he can leave the mall

Search

He tricked and confused us

This is his handiwork

He has escaped from the parking lot

Nab him at the exit now

Thorough patrolling is going on

I'll handle it, sir

Sir, I don't know them They are chasing me

This is a courier for Mr Sathyamurthy, sir

But they beat him up

Are you that courier?

I've been looking for you Hope you aren't hurt

- I'm fine - Get in

The man who sent the courier is dead it seems

Please contact Sathyamurthy sir and inform him immediately

I don't know what happened

Okay, let's go

If delayed he'll usually call me

I called him a couple of times and his phone is switched off

If a girl's phone is not reachable...

...means she's ditching her boyfriend

But if a guy's phone is not reachable...

...means he's with a girl having a gala time!

What are you hinting at?

I thought he was busy delivering a courier

That's what you think

But he's working on sending a girl to deliver a baby soon

Oh! So this was his important job

I'll give him a solid piece of my mind

Don't use your gray cells as to how to advance in life

But in this matter alone be sooooper advanced

If you're a big shot you should advice, right?

My advice may seem bitter to you

If it is bitter, I can add honey and lick it up

You go back to cutting apples

You'll never reform

Sir, I have both the courier and the courier boy in my custody

'He sought help from the officer on patrol of his own accord'

'He just handed him over to me now'

After all a courier boy!

I will-

Sir, leave him to me

Here is your cover

He has switched the covers

Oh gawd!

Quick...get him before he escapes

I will hand him over to you at the designated place in 10 minutes

Since it is linked to Sathyamurthy sir...

...I've taken a lot of risks

Please do the needful, sir

Lost him

Look that side

Come fast

'My name is Manikandan'

'I'm working in Lakshmi hospital in Salem as a ward boy'

'There is great injustice happening here, sir'

'The pregnant women fetuses are being aborted deliberately here'

'I overheard Dr Surya Kumar who works here talking to his group'

'In all the hospitals in their network in Tamil Nadu...'

'...they were planning to abort fetuses at the same time'

'I am just an ordinary ward boy'

'I can't fight their system'

'They can use their influence on politicians and people in power'

'I am just an ordinary ward boy'

- Akka? - Tamil?

Have you taken that tablet?

I'll take it after dinner When will you be back?

Listen, don't take that tablet

What do you mean? What's wrong?

Shame on you!

You want to kill a life in the uterus for money-

So many people dream of a child of their own

You've trampled their dreams callously

After 12 years my sister has conceived now

You made me kill her baby and dream

How many more like my sister did you do this to?

What did they do to deserve this?

I'll pay you whatever you want

Give that to me

After all that you've done you have the gall to bribe me?

Who the hell are you?

He knows all our secrets, doctor

If he is alive, he will-

'A scam of epic proportions at a private hospital in Salem...'

'...has been brought to light by an ordinary courier boy'

'The doctors who forcibly aborted the fetuses have been arrested'

'The police department has assured maximum jail term for the culprits'

'Dr Ramakrishnan who heads the All India Medical Council...'

'...has condemned this crime strongly'

Even if a pregnant woman has a natural miscarriage...

...the stem cells of the fetus cannot be used for research

This is a ban world over

Stem cells in a fetus is equal to a living being

Such being the case whether these stem cells can be used for research...

...an ethical versus medical war is being waged world over

When people believe doctors to be Gods...

...if doctors themselves commit such a crim-

Because of a handful of doctors...

...we should not condemn the entire medical fraternity

A doctor's duty is to save lives and abide by their oath always

Doctors selflessly world over do their duty 365 days a year

'Regarding this barbaric scam that shook Tamil Nadu...'

'...Mr Sathyamurthy, the social activist has shared his opinion with our viewers'

If such a radical change can take place thanks to a courier boy's diligence...

...imagine if our politicians performed their duties without strings attached

...very soon our nation will become a superpower

'To the courier boy who risked his life to expose this scam...'

'...people have expressed their gratitude and lauded him'

'Medical council has awarded Rs 1 million to Tamilselvan'

'Tamil Nadu Govt. has also acclaimed Tamil's brave act'

This money was awarded to you for your brave deed

Even if not for you, take it for your daughter's sake

Fulfil his dreams by educating her well

Please accept it

Hey! How do you always call me just when I'm thinking of you?

Before I accepted your proposal...

...you'll be waiting outside with a cover even before the shop opens

After I accepted your love...

...no sign of any courier And the courier boy is also missing

You'll act funny now

Can you hear me?

I can hear very well

Because you have a junk of a phone...

...I've been shopping the last 1 hour to get you the best phone available

And waiting in queue to pay the bill for the past half hour

Looks like you think...

...I'm lying in bed without even having brushed my teeth!

Don't act pricey

If you're not here in half an hour...

...you'll get 'khadi' material here but definitely not Kavya!

As soon as I pay the bill I'll be there in a jiffy, dear.
