Madam! Madam!

Madam! Madam!

Lots of allegations on your Party.

What do you have to say about it?

Are you responsible for Madam Janaki to quit the Party?

I shall present before Respected Speaker the Budget for the coming financial year.

Don't read!

Respected Speaker!

Before the Chief Minister presents the Budget, he should answer my questions.

For no reason, this government is instigating police against our leaders.

Our phones are being tapped.

There is no regard for our rights!

Are we in democracy or autocracy?

The Chief Minster must take responsibility and resign.

The Chief Minister should resign!

(Sloganeering)

Quiet! Quiet please!

Don't make noise.

Please be silent first.

Please stop.

The law is only doing its duty.

Opposition is answerable for the flaws during their regime.

What are you hinting at?

Are you pointing your finger at MJR?

An eleven year old government elected by people!

What right do you have to criticise?

How are you entitled to talk about rights?

Please hold on, Sir.

What are you to MJR?

Or his political successor?

Do you think sidelining Madam Janaki and taking over the Party, makes it MJR's Party?

Look!

People are shrewd enough.

They know how to keep certain people in their place.

Hey, you! Speak properly.

Don't talk as you like!

Hey! Sit and be quiet!

Aren't you all ashamed to stand behind a woman and call her a leader?

What are you talking? Hey!!!

Don't get offensive against our leader.

Don't you dare say anything about our leader!

(Commotion)

If they behave like barbarians, it doesn't mean-

Who are you calling barbaric?

(Commotion) (Screams)

In Mahabharata, this was what happened to Pancahli.

She put an end to the hundred Kauravas who tried to disrobe her-

And only then did she tie her hair thus fulfilling her vow.

The Mahabharata has another name.

JAYA!

I shall defeat all the male chauvinists who do not know how to respect a woman-

-and step into this Assembly only as Chief Minister!

Until then even my shadow wouldn't appear here.

Start camera!

Sound!

Ready. One! Two!

“I float on the honey filled breeze

Over paths strewn with fragrant flowers”

“I float on the honey filled breeze

Over paths strewn with fragrant flowers”

“My heart”

“Filled with pleasure”

“I wonder why”

“I float on the honey filled breeze

Over paths strewn with fragrant flowers”

“The clouds seem to sprinkle their perfumed tears on me”

“The moon seems to be decked up and riding a palanquin”

“The eyes are quietly engrossed in dreams”

“The earth sends its love to the sky seeking a kiss”

“My heart”

“Filled with pleasure”

“I wonder why”

“Sings and swings today”

“I float on the honey filled breeze

Over paths strewn with fragrant flowers”

“I shall not let this ecstasy desert my heart”

“No matter what I allow no pain in my heart”

“I shall win laurels in my own style”

“I shall win over a stone-heart with my love”

“My heart”

“Filled with pleasure”

“I wonder why”

“Sings and swings today”

(Commotion)

How dare you enter my chambers and attempt stealing?

Stealing?

Taking back what belongs to me is no stealing, Princess.

It's called recovery.

The way you loot us in the name of tax for your lavish living is what you call stealing.

You steal and then blame us on top of that!

I am a thief in your eyes and you are one in mine.

Try your oratory elsewhere.

This is no oratory, Princess.

This sword that has tasted the blood of wolves so far-

-is for the first time going to kiss a tigress.

Forget the kiss.

If your hand is as swift as your tongue, put it to use first.

I have noticed-

-your chivalry.

Cut, cut, cut!

Take ok, Sir.

That's what I felt too.

Who is that girl?

How dare she stand so close to MJR!

Who is she?

She seems set to ruin his reputation!

Madam!

You behave too familiar with MJR.

I don't know how to say it.

On the sets, talk to him and laugh with him as you like.

But outside-

No.

You pay me remuneration only for acting on the sets.

It's not your place to tell me how I should carry myself.

Only half the film is done.

Remember that.

Muruga!

Madam-

Why today? Why did they call me?

Producer Sir wants to talk to you.

Mr RNV!

There is no shooting today.

Why did you call me?

Murthy!

My question was to you!

Why did you call me?

Is everything here?

Including the fight on the fort set?

Even if the entire film was completed, I would do the same.

MJR is not just an actor.

He is a conviction.

Millions look up to him as God;

and worship him.

I will not allow the slightest blemish on that faith and admiration.

I am his armour.

I am his guard and will allow no evil near him.

You can never touch even MJR's shadow again.

Sandhya's daughter seems to be beautiful and good at acting.

She is only sixteen but our Director,

Mr Panthulu has seen her and suggested her.

Fine. But you say she is too young.

Will we make a good pair?

So what? You will be fine.

As if you are too old!

If you act with youngsters, you will look more youthful.

Give our consent to Mr Panthulu.

Hmm.

You are cast opposite MJR.

MJR is great.

Share the screen with him just once and your career will see great heights.

Sir is here.

You guys move back- Ready! One! Two!

Greetings! -Greetings, Sir.

Greetings, Sir -Greetings.

Greetings! Ah! It's ok, it's ok.

Madam, Sir.

Greetings.

Ammu! Get up!

Up! Stand!

Good day…

RNV sir was very angry at your behaviour.

He questioned me about my parenting.

He warned me that your attitude will end your career.

By respecting others, you never lose your respect. Instead you will become more respectable.

Respect should come from the heart, mom.

Ammu, what are you up to?

Getting up when elders come won't lower your dignity.

Am I a watchman to keep greeting whoever walks by?

Is this why I gave up studies and got into films?

I will only act in front of the camera.

That too for your sake.

Ammu! Wait!

So are you doing everything for my sake?

Ammu!

I am still talking!

Who gets famous when you become a big heroine? You or me?

Ammu! Ammu!!

'Be a Roman in Rome'. You read this, didn't you?

You are now in the film field.

You should know the protocol here, right?

Do as you are told!

Madam! She is just a kid.

Let her be.

She will learn slowly.

Your pampering has spoilt her!

Drive some sense into her!

I am supposed to fold my hands and show courtesy!

Shall we do that?

Greetings! -Sir!

Greetings, Sir. -Greetings.

Greetings, Sir. -What is this?

Greetings. Greetings.

Greetings!

Oh! RNV, Sir!

Greetings!

Ah! Greetings! Greetings!

Greetings, greetings!

Big brother! Greetings! Greetings!

Hello!

Greetings to you too.

Good boy!

Hi!

What are you doing, Ammu?

Have you gone mad?

What's wrong, Mom?

You told me I must respect everyone on the set and greet them!

The dog is a part of the set too!

So childish!

Madhavan!

Madam?

I did the right thing, didn't I?

Hmm.

It was wrong.

What your mom had done was wrong,

She was living like a queen in a palace.

But she lost her husband very young.

You were an infant.

She considered you her world and left Mysore for Madras for your sake. That was wrong.

To give you convent education she entered films against all odds and humiliation.

That was wrong.

Even after you grew up she never let you know of her difficulties.

That was wrong.

What happened, Madhavan?

Mom!

I am sorry, mom!

(Sniffles)

Roll Camera!

By 4, Take 3! Clap!

Action!

Sir!

Sir, Sir!

Hey, come here. Please help him up!

Sir, it's ok, Sir. I will take care.

Sir, let us do the shot with someone else.

Someone else can always act with me.

But what if this man never gets a chance to act with me again?

Brother! Don't worry.

We will shoot the scene only after you get well.

Thank you, Sir.

Veerappan!

Sir?

Ask them to use my car.

Ok, Sir.

Careful.

Please let his family know. -Ok.

Tell them we will bear all medical expenses. Ok, Sir.

I am very happy, Madam.

You have stood up in Sir's respect.

Respect has come from within now for his kindheartedness.

(Tamil Song)

Cut, cut, cut!

What are you doing, Jaya?

You should hug him tight!

Saraswati! -Master!

Please guide her personally. Ok, Master.

Sound!

Ready one, two!

(Tamil Song)

Ok?

Hmm. -Come.

Sir, let's just do one more take, Sir.

Sorry, Sir. Hmm.

Ready one, two!

Hey! Cut, cut, cut!

Jaya!

Don't be afraid.

Your arm should rest here.

You must hug him a little tight.

Ready, Sir?

Master!

Sir?

Let us shoot after the break.

It's not a difficult step.

You know Bharatanatyam.

Is it something else?

What does your mother call you?

Ammu.

Have this.

Ammu!

Hmm?

Consider me your mother when you hug me.

You won't be uncomfortable.

(Tamil Song)

(Whistles a tune)

Mm hmm? A song?

Why don't you sing?

Sing? Hmm.

Me? Mm hmm.

No, no. I can't sing.

That's a lie.

What do I see in your eyes?

Hmm? There are dreams in my eyes.

I asked you to sing so please do.

Or I will go away! Hey!

“I wonder what's in your eyes”

“Look into them and find out!”

“I wonder what's in your heart”

“Know by sight and meet up”

“I wonder who is in your thoughts”

“Disclose without shying away”

Not in March.

After 10th, we can give seven days...

Sir there are no dates in July.

Hey, Jaya!

Hey!

Jaya!

Madhavan! -Madam!

Take her signature on the cheque. Madam! Just one signature. Please.

Madam! Madam, Madam!

Greetings, Sir. Please come.

Sit down, sit down.

Greetings, Sir.

Would you like to have something? It's ok. Sit.

Please tell me.

Nothing, Ramachandra.

If you can give five days this month and ten days next month-

-they can wrap up the film.

Not a big deal. We'll do that.

Why don't you then? -Ok.

“You are a beautiful trap”

“Don't walk this side in that case”

“But how do I escape from you?”

“Stop dreaming deep in daylight”

Relax, Sir.

It's just one film.

“It's unfair, very unfair.

Don't hide your heart away”

Let us fix Jaya for heroine.

At least the film will be completed.

Come on, man!

I know you are fond of ice-cream.

But I am not sure which flavor.

Butterscotch!

(Tamil Songs)

Sir!

Shot ready, Sir.

There should be only one chair on this set.

And it should be MJR's.

Ok, Sir.

(Tamil Song)

Cut!

“You left me no choice but to love” -Take Ok. Super Sir!

It's amazing sir.

“You are a wizard of words and won my heart”

“If it is clear, you don't call it love”

“This feels both strange and familiar”

“I too have snuggled into the nest of your heart ”

“I have stepped out of myself in the blink of an eye to join you”

“You in me and I in you shall be for each other

In every life that we live”

(Tamil Song)

Sir! One still, please.

Can I ask you something?

Hmm.

Whenever you hug me, who do you remember?

Sadanandavathi.

Madam Sadanandavathi.

Sir's first wife.

Sir is deeply in love with her.

She is no more now.

Clap in.

Start camera.

Action!

Ammuda! Ammuda?

Ammuda!

Where has she…?

Sir! Sir?

Dialogue.

Dialogues goes:

Where were you? I must tell you something important.

Shall we shoot this after the break?

Raja!

Greetings, Sir.

Sadanandavathi is not a character from one of my films.

She is an unforgettable chapter of my life.

You can never replace her.

I … understand.

I know I can never replace her.

I am different.

I don't have the serenity in her eyes.

I wanted to remind you of her and watch your smile; not your tears.

I am sorry.

Ammu!

I used to call her Ammu.

Sir said it's not possible now.

Why do you dilly dally about dates?

My money is stuck there.

Tell me when you can give the dates.

Shoot is going on continuously, brother.

There is also Party meeting in the midst of all.

I will give you the dates.

If so, tell me when.

I will ask Mr Veerappan to get in touch.

This is for the maintenance of our Trust.

Sir, one minute.

Sir, they want Jaya's dates for Sivaji Sir's film.

They have been asking me.

I told them I will ask you and let them know.

My next four producers have booked Jaya already.

Dates may not be possible.

Convey the same.

Please sit.

Is he in?

Yes, Sir.

Do you know who is in Madras today?

Your favourite Pataudi, right?

So you are going to see the Nawab? Hmm!

Are you not going?

Me?

What's the matter?

I need to speak to Sir.

It's important.

We are discussing something more important.

You better wait.

Who is it?

Nobody.

So, you are going with me, right?

What do I know about cricket?

What will I do going there?

I want to watch my cricket hero's game with my film hero.

How can I tolerate my heroine admiring another hero?

Careful, though.

Girls seem to swoon over Pataudi.

Jaya will not be bewitched so easily.

How long should we wait? -He is coming out.

We have been waiting for quite long. -Just five minutes.

No matter how much it would cost, -please sit.

-We will meet him and go.

Sir will speak to him and arrange your meeting.

Producers have been waiting.

What took you so long?

Black-gram fritters.

What?

Hmm!

Sir has been teaching me how to make the best fritters.

Sir, greetings.

Open the gates.

(Gun shots)

What happened? Sir!

What happened?

Oh, no!

Husband! What happened?

Help! Fast!

Husband! Please open your eyes.

Deepam! Call the ambulance immediately.

Keep your eyes open.

Take him to emergency ward. - Aunt!

(People wailing)

Greetings, Madam. Greetings.

Please come.

One minute, Madam.

The doctor is checking.

Brother, he is saved by the grace of God.

God didn't save him.

This doctor and his medical care saved him.

Knowledge is God.

Doctor! I cannot thank you enough.

Why thank me, Madam?

I have just done my duty.

What is it?

Here.

You don't have to campaign.

You don't have to utter a single word.

You are contesting in the elections.

That's enough for us to win.

This is not my statement.

This is Anna's statement.

See you, Sister. Ok, brother.

Veerappa!

Sir!

Pay more attention to North Madras constituency.

Is it better, now?

You are…

Jaya, right?

I sometimes see you in the magazines.

I read a lot about you.

Continue the good work.

But what brings you here?

There is no shoot going on here.

So…?

Hello!

Ammu!

You were at the hospital.

Why did you leave?

Are you angry?

Hmm.

We will meet again.

Right now.

I want to see you right now.

How can we meet now, Ammu?

Uncle!

Please take some rest.

Let us meet.

Very soon.

Hello…hello!

Hello?

In the recently concluded Assembly elections,

Anna's Party has emerged victorious.

This brought the 15 year old Congress regime to an end.

This is the first time a regional party has gained power with absolute majority.

Ramachandra! Hmm!

You are always on the move.

No rest at all!

You don't follow doctor's advice.

On top of that, you have Party meetings.

Why do you worry about me, Ammu?

How can I not?

I'm only worried about the state.

Karna and I have the same vision about the State.

Our residence is also a part of this State.

As the state flourishes, so does our home.

I don't know.

You and your politics!

I find politics very distasteful.

So do I.

Is that a joke?

Karna and I never aspired to be politicians.

We have no desire for white clothes and cars with flashing lights.

Ours is a path laid by Periyar.

A dream realized under the leadership of Anna.

We want to be the voice of people.

Politics is not sufficient to bring in change here.

We need a revolution.

There is no better revolutionary than Karna in this state.

I want to be associated with him.

Public has entrusted this responsibility to us in great faith.

We should not let them down.

Politics and revolutions bring in power and fame.

It will alter your personality and turn you away from your own people.

I am worried about that.

You sound pretty knowledgeable of politics.

Why don't you join us?

I am asking you take rest and you are scheming to disturb mine!

Leave me out of it.

I will just remain one of the people you love.

Which newspaper?

Amuda.

When is the film releasing, Sir?

Next month.

Greetings. Sir, greetings.

-Greetings.

Ammu!

Have you met Sir? -No.

No?

Greetings, Madam. -He is the producer.

Oh!

What are you doing here?

We are discussing something important.

Almost done. Wait for a while.

You are very lucky.

You are cast opposite a big hero.

Your life will undergo a sea change.

Come away.

Come on!

Murthy!

Murthy!!

Who was that?

What is happening?

This is your payment.

Your character is over.

How all of a sudden?

The film is only half-done.

How will my character come to an end?

Because I killed you.

I mean your character.

But that wasn't in the script.

How can you do that all of a sudden?

This is my story.

My money.

I decide who lives or dies in my film.

You will never get a chance in Tamil films again.

Try and get a chance in Telugu films.

Try Kannada.

If all fails, retire and take rest at home.

If you still have time, make fritters and relish them.

Ammu! It's just one movie.

Why are you upset?

He removed me from the film without my knowledge.

RNV removed me from the film. He removed me from the film without my knowledge.

RNV removed me from the film.

He replaced me with some other heroine. RNV removed me from the film.

He replaced me with some other heroine.

You want me to stay quiet?

We cannot discuss this now.

Party members are waiting.

Go home.

We will talk about it later.

Please come.

Which constituency did you say he belongs to?

Siva Kasi.

How could RNV do this?

What shall we do now?

Please call for a press meet, Madhavan.

Every actor has his own flavour.

Some sweet, some spicy, some bitter.

Each actor has his own quality.

But Sivaji Sir is a culmination of all the flavours.

There is no actor in this country, or the world for that matter, who can equal him.

How arrogant she is! -Brother, don't! She might overhear.

She was acting with MJR till the other day. Now she is all praise for Sivaji Sir.

What sort of interview was that?

What if MJR Sir comes to know?

Sivaji Sir would know and so would his manager.

Just wait and watch.

Oh!

Madam, let me ask you something.

At least tell me the truth.

Who is the better actor of the two?

That’s a little difficult to answer.

Shall I tell you the truth? Hmm.

The best actor is-

Me!

Oh, no!

I am not qualified to share the screen with Sivaji Sir.

Being a great fan of his, I can only admire him from a distance.

But to act with him-

Madam! Don't worry about your performance.

Sivaji Sir will teach you.

It’s not that.

When it comes to Sir, I need to focus entirely on the film.

Moreover, I may have to forgo two films.

That’s a little-

Madam! Don't worry about anything.

We will pay for those two films too.

See you, Madam.

What do you say now?

Will you accept that I am the best actor

Ammu, what is this?

Yes, Mom.

It’s a privilege for me to act with Sivaji Sir.

I should be on Sivaji Sir’s posters all over the town.

RNV should see it.

(Tamil Song)

Why did you leave without telling me?

'I don't think I should stay in this house anymore.'

'How can I convey this?'

Malathi, What are you talking?

'Only a girl can understand another.'

(Sarcastically)What genius! What thinking!

Who is the fool who killed Jaya's character midway?

She is not on the screen and there is no audience in the theaters.

He has left us in misery.

MJR Sir! You should never let go of sentiments.

Yours has been a hit pair.

What's the point giving it away to someone else?

Why is your fever aggravating?

Is it MJR's car?

Didn't I tell you, Ammu?

That he will come for you?

He comes here only when he remembers me.

Ammu!

We don't remember God unless we are in need.

MJR is your well wisher.

Don't snap but listen to what he says.

No matter what he says?

It's ok to make him angry.

But don't hurt his feelings.

Hmm?

Ammu!

I am just an actor.

I must oblige the producer.

And the public as well.

More than that, I must listen to my own conscience.

I did and I am here.

I have made a decision, Ammu.

You are the heroine in my next film.

Everybody takes decisions on my career.

What have I to say?

Ammu!

Ammu!

Why don't you listen to the story once?

You will anyway kill me midway. What's the point then?

There are two heroines in the film.

Two heroines?

My mother told me to agree to whatever you say.

But I can't shut my mouth!

Two heroines.

You play both.

Double role?

Wohoo!

Super!

You tried to get rid of her once.

And she is back in doubles.

She is indestructible now.

Sir, there is a parcel for you.

Hmm.

Tamil Nadu's Honourable Chief Minister Mr Anna Durai passed away today due to old age.

His mortal remains are kept in the Rajaji Hall for public viewing.

With Mr Anna Durai's demise, the Deputy Chief Minister Mr Karna is elected President

-for Tamizha Makkal Kazhagam and also the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.

My most beloved brothers and sisters!

You won't find a better leader in this world than my dear friend, Karna, here.

Bearing the vision of Mr Periyar in our hearts, promising to march on the path laid by Anna-

I take leave.

My dear brothers and sisters who are more valuable than my life!

When my friend spoke about me, he said I am world's greatest leader.

I take it as appreciation out of friendship.

The truth is I will not find a better friend than MJR in any world.

I wrote a poem for my friend.

I would like to share it with you.

“Duty is not destroyed even by death

So you proved even to the blind”

Sir, it's time for us to leave.

They are all waiting on the sets.

Now? Yes.

But the gentleman is speaking. -They have been waiting for long.

“Moonlight has no discrimination

You shall be blessed with only jubilation”

Ok, you tell him. Ok, Sir.

People are waiting at the shoot. I have to go.

“Your support is my victory's mainstay

Through all times by my side you shall stay”

“That is my most cherished gift”

Something happens at the meetings.

Something else is published in the papers.

Why? What happened?

Your photo is not published.

Not even your name.

Forget it, Ammu.

It must be a mistake.

It doesn't look like a mistake.

It looks deliberate.

Ammu!

This is no film poster.

It's a Party rally.

Karna is the hero there.

If he is the hero, then what are you?

Madam?

Mom will love this house.

True, madam.

It's built as per Vastu, Madam.

It will prove lucky for you.

Ok. When is the registration?

Consider this your home, Madam.

Let's do it whenever you want.

Good. See you then. Greetings.

Who wouldn't love MJR?

Come on, dear.

You say it as though he were Lord Krishna.

Do you mean he is in everyone's heart?

But is Radha's place in Krishna's heart as ordinary as others'?

Greetings, Sir. Greetings.

We have a Party meeting today, right?

Let us go.

Sir!

Because you might leave midway if you have some shooting-

Mr Karna asked you to attend shooting and not the Party meeting.

It's time we settled the account.

Is it wrong to ask for the Party accounts?

No. But it's important who is asking for them.

You should be qualified for that.

Who is more qualified than him?

Oh! Is this what you call qualification?

'MJR's third honey moon'

Look what is written in the papers.

So? Does it mean it's true?

I am asking you the same question.

Aren't you questioning us based on newspapers?

I am also asking you based on news reports.

You tarnish the image of the Party.

When you were asking for votes in his name, you didn't find it wrong?

Do you mean we won because of him?

Not that way, brother.

We are saying even he worked hard for the Party.

Why don't you give him a portfolio to recognize his contribution?

Instead, why do you talk about the trash published in newspapers?

What do you mean? Can you prove what is printed there is false?

So, who would give you portfolios just because you asked?

(Commotion)

Are you creating this ruckus for a Minister's Post?

Stop arguing and see what is to be done. Are you creating this ruckus for a Minister's Post?

Are you creating this ruckus for a Minister's Post?

No, not for the Post.

I want to do something for the people who placed their trust in me.

A lot can be done in the field of education.

Ok.

Suppose I give you the Ministry, will you be able to allot time?

You have signed up seven films in a row.

think of scenes?

You have changed.

You are politicizing our friendship that is based on a common vision.

You can't sail in two boats. Your feet should be in one place.

You have to leave behind everything.

Everything!

No, Karna!

I won't get into your mire.

You are slipping your tongue.

I don't change words like you.

Is yours the only way to serve the public?

Think well.

If you step out once, you can never come back.

That need won't arise.

This is the biggest mistake you are making and you will regret it.

What the heck just happened?

They were such close friends.

All allegations Karna raised against you are wrong.

Except one!

Jaya.

If the public doesn't like our pair, why will our movies become huge hits?

Films and politics are two different things.

Are you against Nambiar or Karna?

When an actor enters politics, public appreciates it.

But if a politician becomes an actor-

What are you trying to say?

Jaya is not the only one who will be hurt.

Millions of people who placed their trust in you will be hurt too.

It's time to decide who should be a part of your new political life and who should not.

This road and your silence-

I find both strange.

Where are we going?

Where only we both can hear what we speak.

It's a nice dialogue!

But why such flat modulation?

If there are answers for all questions,

we won't be meeting this way.

Time and place do not matter to speak to those who are dear to you.

Bare your heart to me.

What am I to you?

When I first hugged you and you called me Ammu-

You sounded like my mother.

When I was hurt, I saw a father's love in you.

Sometimes a mentor and many times God.

God doesn't belong to one individual.

Millions of people are waiting hoping I would do them some good.

Can you explain?

You should always be happy, Ammu.

The path I choose will not give you that.

Have you brought me all the way here to go separate?

Your place in my heart-

-will always be the same.

“This is a hook thrown by destiny”

“Becoming a story for eternity”

“Little by little still deeper”

“This sword wounds the heart”

Mom!

Has the doctor seen you?

What did he say?

As always, I have no worry about your future.

I know MJR will take good care of you.

Nothing will happen to you, Mom.

We will be moving to our new home.

You will be happy there.

I may never walk again, Ammu.

You will have to carry me.

“Little by little still deeper”

“This sword wounds the heart”

“A disguise every minute”

“With memories in ruins”

“To sever the bond of love”

“What chance do the eyes stand?”

Greetings, Madam.

MJR Sir has sent you a present.

“This is a hook thrown by destiny”

“Becoming a story for eternity”

“Little by little still deeper”

“This sword wounds the heart”

“My smiles are a part of my acting”

Madam!

Please, get up.

You cannot starve like this!

“While lips move in silence”

Two thousand rupees must be transferred to this account, Madam.

If you sign this check, I will make the transfer from this account to the other account.

Madam!

I cannot do this!

Madam! You must stop grieving.

You have to take care of all these things now.

“Days and nights keep passing by” -Madam!

We have reached.

“Becoming a story for eternity”

“This is a hook thrown by destiny”

“Becoming a story for eternity”

“Little by little still deeper”

They told me your mother has passed away.

You didn't feel like seeing her one last time, did you?

I wanted to but-

If you were in my place, you would understand.

I will never be in the place you are talking about.

We don't choose our destiny.

Destiny chooses us.

Is it our destiny to meet in secret then?

I understand now what the destiny of our relationship is.

If you find it difficult to talk to me in public-

-I don't like to meet you in secret.

Hail, MJR!

The dynamic leader who stole people’s hearts!

In the recently concluded elections, thanks to the tremendous support of the public,-

Having been elected the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu for the second time-

Comes before his people to express his gratitude, our beloved leader, MJR!

You have found a place in people's hearts.

We need not fear defeat.

Letting victory get to your head is as wrong as distress in defeat.

The vote percentage has declined.

We may have won against the opponent.

But we have lost against ourselves.

You are perturbed for no reason.

You alone will suffice.

Do you see that?

One man doesn't make a Party.

Look at Karna's Party.

Most of them are crowd pullers.

Our Party lacks that skill.

We must work on it.

The story is really good.

I have been waiting for such roles since long.

You have consented and we are happy.

There are a couple of dance programs.

But that's ok. This is more important.

You don't have to cancel those.

We will adjust the schedule.

Madam can give us a week's dates at her convenience. That will do.

That will do? But how?

I have read the script.

The heroine's character would need a minimum of 30 to 40 days.

What is this Mr Madhava?

Didn't you inform Madam?

What would she think of us now?

About what?

Madam's role is heroine's elder sister.

Heroine's elder sister?

What are you talking about? -But we told you!

Are you really talking about Madam Jaya?

How can you change your stance now?

Madam, this role is best suited to your age.

Mr Suresh!

A tiger may get old. But it doesn't become a cat.

There is a folk dance at 4 pm.

Poets' Convention at 5 pm.

If you can come at 5.30 pm-

Sure. I will come.

Sir!

Jaya-

If she can present a dance for the World Tamil Convention, it would be nice.

Who would watch her at this age?

Have you found no one better?

Actually-

If you feel Jaya should dance at this function, I have no objection.

That's very kind of you, Sir. Thank you, Sir.

Leave it, Sir.

This is her last performance.

Who would like an outdated star?

Mark my words.

Not a soul will turn up for Jaya's dance show.

Rajamma! What is this?

Why are you doing all this?

Give it to me. Let me do it.

It's ok. I am quite free now.

What's the matter?

We have been approached for a program.

I told them I would ask you and confirm.

Why should you ask me?

Accept it.

When is it?

And where?

In Madurai.

At the World Tamil Convention.

It's a government program.

MJR Sir will be there.

Come on. Make it fast.

We are late. Sir must have already arrived. Drive fast.

Sir!

I think MJR Sir has already come.

Where are the cops?

Hey! Move aside! Move!

Give way to Sir. Give way.

Move aside. -Madam, move aside.

“The Lord of Madhura and Brindavan!”

“The embodiment of love”

“Prince of maiden dreams

You are mine yet you evade!”

“How do I become a peacock feather?

And stay with you always together?”

“Like the far away sky

Don't stand distant and pry”

“Come closer to me

And breathe life into me”

“My beloved! My Lord! I pine for you”

“Enough of this tease and let us meet”

“As the eyes refuse to close, it is all dark around”

“Yet through the darkness, shines your form in the form of light”

“Prince of maiden dreams”

“You are mine and yet you evade”

“Prince of maiden dreams

You are mine yet you evade!”

“How do I become a peacock feather?

And stay with you always together?”

“Like the far away sky

Don't stand distant and pry”

“Come closer to me

And breathe life into me”

(Applause and cheering)

You seem to be in a hurry.

I tried several times to meet you.

But where to meet you, when and how-

What would I say when we meet-

Where to begin-

Do you have the time to remember me?

Why? Didn't you think of me?

I tried not to.

But as soon as I saw you, I am reminded of everything.

You haven't changed a bit.

If I changed, I would have forgotten you.

I guess you are not happy we met now.

Someone I care for has come back to speak to me after a long time.

What would be there in the heart except joy?

But when I remember this is an illusion and a mirror can lie-

How long will this joy stay?

Ammu!

I must tell you something.

If I were not the Chief Minister-

One minute.

If I were not the Chief Minister-

Do you know what I would do when I saw you on the stage?

What?

(Whistles)

People still admire you. They enjoy your presence.

They praise you.

You must do something for them.

Come into public life.

I entertain them through my art.

Isn't that enough?

No. Get into politics.

Politics?

I will never get into politics.

I have lost many valuable things.

I hate politics.

People who belong in politics always detest them.

Society treats women only as an adornment.

But to handover authority to a woman-

I am not interested in politics and I will never understand them.

If you love the public, they will love you back.

That's what you call politics.

Wow!

Yay! The gate is lowered.

Sir, please buy some, Sir. No, thanks.

Sister! Please buy some peanuts.

Hey, dear! Didn't you go to school?

If I go to school, I will have to starve.

If I sell peanuts, I can make some money.

But they give you food in school.

Look at that poster.

I rather eat this poster than the food they serve.

Bye, Sister!

Peanuts! Peanuts!

What is this?

Do you call this school?

What is this sister?

You said there would be sambar, rasam, and curry.

Why is there only curd rice?

Do one thing.

Close your eyes.

But why?

I said close your eyes.

Open your mouth.

This is sambar rice.

This is rasam rice.

This is curry.

Yuk!

Oh, no! It's gone sour.

It's ok. Please eat.

There is nothing to eat at home.

I am the in-charge. What do you want?

Is the government paying you to feed them this trash?

Who are you to question me?

Are you a member of Panchayat?

MLA? MP?

Or are you CM?

Who are you?

What do you mean who?

She is Madam Jaya-

I know.

If she dances with MJR in a couple of films, does she become MJR?

Look!

Whatever I serve here is food.

There is no option but to eat it.

If someone dare question it-

Who does she think she is to teach me morals?

Sir!

Madam Jaya is here to see you, Sir.

Why did she come here?

Greetings.

So, Ammu!

Have you decided to enter politics?

Right now I am here to serve you a feast.

Special meal!

Now?

Your government serves food unasked, right?

That's why.

I think food has gone stale, Ammu.

Stale?

It stinks!

It's ok. No problem.

Close your eyes.

Consider this lentil and rice.

This is sambar rice with egg.

This is curd rice.

How can we eat this, Ammu?

Not a problem.

If the kids from the government schools are able to eat this, you can too.

This is what they are feeding the kids in your mid-day meals scheme.

It doesn't matter how great a thought is.

What matters is how well it is implemented.

She doesn't seem to get it.

She is here again!

Unload the vehicle.

Keep them inside.

Ok, Sir.

What is this?

Food.

Good food.

Do you think you are MJR? Huh?

No, not at all!

But the one behind me thinks so.

Sir!

Greetings, Sir.

I didn't know it was you-

Why did you take the trouble, Sir?

Hey, get a chair for Sir.

Sir, would you like to have something?

I will get good food from home.

This is your dismissal order.

Stay at home for the rest of your life and enjoy your good food.

Sir!

Sir!

Eat as much as you want to.

We won't get this kind of food again.

You will be served the same quality food every day.

Thank you, Miss.

Don't thank me, dear. Thank that sister.

She is not a sister.

She is a mother.

“Maiden! This is your destined path”

“The love of people”

“Makes you a mother”

I had told you, Ammu.

If you love people, they will love you back.

Why don't you take care of this?

“This is a ray of light”

“March on urge the feet”

“So be it says the omen”

“The journey has succeeded”

“People's heart-throb”

“Has now reached new heights”

“Time to repay”

“Says mother earth”

“This is the call of a million voices”

“This is a door opened my God Himself”

“Bow your consent”

“And walk towards the mission”

Amma! Would you like to sit with us?

This is a very important file.

Send it to the Head Office. -Ok, Madam.

What about the information I asked you for?

It's ready, Madam.

Greetings!

Madam! She is the one I told you about.

She provides video coverage.

Her name is Sasi.

Sasi! Everyone should know the mid-day meals scheme is being implemented well.

That's your job.

You can leave it to me, Sister.

I will take care of everything.

“This is a mind filled with service”

“Let it move on like a story”

“You are one of them”

“Let the new bonds form”

“Hail, Jaya!”

“Hails the public in respect”

“This is a flood of love”

“A rare privilege”

“And it has chosen you”

Greetings, Madam.

Greetings!

Please consider this.

I will definitely push for it.

Greetings, Madam.

Greetings.

You have taken care of our hunger.

Please bring light into our lives.

Madam! We can never forget your help.

You are really an angel.

A government that cannot protect God, how can it protect its people?

Where is RNV, the Endowment Minister, who is responsible for the stolen spear?

And the Chief Minister is silently evading the whole issue.

Why?

Would you vote for a government that has stolen our God's weapon?

Give it a thought, people!

Give it a thought.

I challenge the Chief Minister and the crooks in his Party.

If there is a single person in his Party who is man enough-

-let him come to Tiruchendur and ask for votes. We will see.

You don't have to go there.

I will go myself.

Don't decide in the heat of the moment.

Things will calm down after some time. Please forget it.

Shall we forget the constituency then?

They are asking if there is a man in the Party!

Tell me.

How can I not go?

I will go.

People are restless.

Even the cops are afraid to go.

No matter who goes there, it will lead to violence.

It's not safe to send her there now.

Moreover, there will be no protection.

John is right.

You won't be safe there.

I will go there myself.

When the Commander is around,

Emperor doesn't go to the battlefield.

MJR! Down, down!

Stop!

Please, stop!

MJR…down! Down!

MJR…down! Down!

MJR…down! Down!

MJR…down! Down!

MJR…down! Down!

I am one of you.

When we are distraught over the lost spear-

MJR is busy working out schemes to curb unemployment.

Tell me. Which is more important?

The missing spear?

Or the employment of millions of youth?

The atheistic Opposition has suddenly become devotional.

So they are demanding for Lord Subramanya's spear!

But MJR is working diligently for feeding the poor kids.

You tell me!

What should be full?

The plates of the poor or the 'hundis' of the temple?

The spear shines in full brightness but here is all darkness.

But the CM is not bothered about it at all.

He is busy fighting with the Central Government for the electricity of our State.

Should a Chief Minister know his priorities or not?

Is it the rays of the spear or the electrification of villages?

You tell me.

What sort of a leader is he?

What sort of a Chief Minister is he?

MJR!

MJR! Hail!

“Be the melting heart to tears”

“And help across grief and difficulties”

“To the thousands of lives in darkness”

“Bring in light and brightness”

“Authority to rule and affection to share”

“Is your new responsibility”

In a constituency where we were not expected to get even a hundred votes-

-you contested and won.

This is all your encouragement.

From now, you are the Party's Propaganda Secretary.

Thank you.

What sort of Post is that?

We never heard of it!

I guess it is specially created for her.

“This is a ray of light”

“March on urge the feet”

“So be it says the omen”

“The journey has succeeded”

“People's heart-throb”

“Has now reached new heights”

“Time to repay”

“Says mother earth”

After consuming mid-day meals provided in government schools-

-many kids began to vomit and several fell unconscious.

The doctors said it was due to food poisoning.

The Opposition demands action against Jaya who is in charge of the scheme.

You couldn't face me so you played with children's lives!

Mind your words.

Don't assume so much importance!

You are just a blade of grass that surfaced yesterday.

Don't try to lock horns with a giant tree.

Time will decide who a blade of grass is and who is a giant tree.

We will see.

Ramalingam.

Muthuswamy.

Sadashivam.

Yes, Sister.

They are not seen in the constituency in three months.

What shall we do?

Serve them a notice.

Show cause notice.

Sister!

They are senior leaders.

So what?

Does seniority make them bigger than the Party?

Sir! This doesn't feel right.

What doesn't?

To teach us politics through a film actress-

She is throwing her weight around because of you.

What is that Post, Sir? Propaganda Secretary?

I mean I never heard of such a Post.

She behaves like a Minister with that Post.

A gun is valuable as long as it has bullets in it.

If the Party were a gun,

we are the bullets.

Which bullet is good for a Game, the hunter knows best.

That's Jaya.

Jaya is clever.

But others have seniority.

I said the right thing.

They may be seniors.

But talent and efficiency should be respected.

Not age.

Sir, if Jaya stays here there will be dissent in the Party.

Only if she is here, right?

I am sending Jaya to Delhi.

As Rajya Sabha MP.

For the alliance with Congress we have been waiting for.

We couldn't do anything for so long.

What will she go and do there?

What if she does? What else?

Our Party members will fall silent.

Even if she fails, there's no harm.

Do send her to Delhi.

We can be at peace here.

You don't have to bother much.

You sent a losing horse to the race.

If she comes back defeated, at least she will become less arrogant.

Let's see.

The affinity you show towards your Party and MJR-

-if it is extended to our kids, their future will be better.

If our kids thrive, only our house will be happy.

If MJR flourishes, the entire country will prosper.

Keep everything ready. We have a meeting in the evening.

Madam! Is it right to try to meet the Prime Minister without prior appointment?

We must follow the protocol, Madam.

How long can we wait?

Are all the files ready? -Yes.

We must show them to Sir once we reach Madras.

Excuse me!

We want to meet Madam Indira.

Do you have appointment?

No, no.

Mr Karna has sent me.

Please let me confirm.

Ma'am, Mr Karna's men are here to see you.

Ok.

You can go.

Yes, Ma'am?

Yes, Ma'am.

Sir!

You can go.

I will inform Sir about it.

Oh!

I wonder what business actors have here!

I have come to fulfill the promises of the government.

Your actions should validate your words.

What do you want?

You want to talk to Madam, right?

Madam is visiting Madras next week on work.

I can arrange a meeting as soon the work is done.

But there will be no use.

Because Madam is coming there to topple your government.

Don't

I was summoned here to discuss the same.

Respected Speaker!

I request your good self-

-to give my remaining speech time to

-our South Indian, young Parliamentarian, Jaya-

-for her debut speech in the Parliament.

So, she can place before us some issues related to Tamilnadu.

Mr Advani!

Your request has been accepted.

You can begin your speech.

My gratitude to respected Speaker for giving me this opportunity.

I now put forth our proposal.

Madam Prime Minister!

Our Honourable Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Mr M J Ramachandran-

-is not one person.

He is the voice of the four crore of people of Tamil Nadu.

Unfortunately, because of the language and political barriers-

-he has not been able to convey our problems to you.

That is why he sent me here.

This is my very first time.

But I do realize the value of this seat-

-which was once occupied by the great leader, Anna Durai.

Prime Minister!

I have come to discuss the electric power crisis in Tamil Nadu.

Our Kalpakam Power Project is under the Central Government.

And we have to share our electricity with the other states.

I am not given enough time to discuss the entire statistics of the issue with you but-

I tried to meet you.

Prime Minister!

I don't know if you are aware.

In Tamil Nadu, people call you Amma affectionately.

And we expect our mother to treat all her children equally.

We have built this nation together.

Together, we can take it to great heights.

But we need your unbiased love and support.

Madam!

Dravidian people are very competent.

Very intelligent.

I assure you, if you give an ounce to Tamil Nadu-

-it will give you back a pound.

Thank you.

Rajya Sabha is adjourned for a break.

I didn't know South Indians could speak such good English!

Wow! Beauty with brains!

What an amazing combination!

I will ask MJR why he had kept you away from Delhi for so long!

Thank you.

Excuse me, Madam!

Madam PM has given you appointment at ten tomorrow morning.

The bullet hit the bull's eye!

I was referring to Jaya.

She got the appointment with Madam Indira.

Did she tell you?

She didn't tell me anything.

Surprising!

For the first time something happened in the Party without your knowledge.

Probably she thought she would tell me after the meeting.

She went there on a good mission.

What do we gain out of your alliance?

Definitely!

I will convince MJR Sir.

What happened, Madam?

What you couldn't do for so long in the Party, I have done it.

Let us inform Sir immediately.

I know when to inform and how.

Leave it to me.

Prime Minister Mrs Indira Gandhi and member of Rajya Sabha-

from MTMK Ms J Jaya meet in Delhi today.

What's wrong now?

We don't get news of our Party unless we watch Television.

Hello!

Trunk call?

From where?

From Delhi?

Please connect.

Ammu!

Hello!

RNV Sir!

We never thought we would enter an alliance with you.

By the way, is Jaya making all the decisions now?

Should we discuss with her the distribution of seats or…?

Ok. I will meet you again.

You better find a taxi to go home.

This is a Party car.

You have been dismissed from the Post of Propaganda Secretary.

By the time you go home, the orders will reach you.

You don't have to come to the Party office.

I can't help laughing watching your plight.

It hurts, right?

When a woman achieves what you couldn't, you find it difficult to accept, don't you?

You have done it and proved.

You can leave now.

You sent me to Delhi to lose.

You didn't expect my success, did you?

You are not able to take this as Party's success.

This is politics!

Now on you don't have a job.

First of all you are not in the Party now.

I hated these rotten politics and never wanted to step into this mire.

I stepped in under unavoidable circumstances.

Mr Veerappan!

Remember this!

I never needed your Party in my life.

Your Party would need me.

Ok.

What happened?

Nothing.

Are you not well?

No.

I am fine.

(Tamil Song)

Some important news coming in!

Tamil Nadu's Chief Minister, Mr MJR, falls suddenly ill-

-and is admitted in Apollo hospital.

His Health...

Madhavan!

MJR is in the hospital. What happened, Sister?

Ask him to get the car.

Where is Madhavan?

Madhavan! Come fast. Get the car!

Sister!

We must go to Apollo. Get the car!

Madam!

MJR Sir has been taken to the US for treatment.

Brother!

Mrs Indira Gandhi has been shot.

She is no more.

I got your campaign schedule, RNV.

I don't see Jaya's name on it.

It will be a great loss for us without her!

Especially when MJR is also not there.

Mistake.

It was a typing mistake.

If she is not part of the campaign-

Yeah. Campaign… er…Jaya will campaign.

(Cheering)

In the Assembly elections of Tamil Nadu Marumalarchi Tamizhaga Makkal Kazhagam-

-Party has won with an unexpectedly resounding majority in 395 constituencies.

Before MJR could return from the US after treatment-

-MTMK Party is celebrating the victory and is ready to form the government once again.

(Crowd Cheering)

You are great, Mr MJR.

Even when you were not in the country, you were able to win.

This could not have been possible without Jaya.

Where is she?

Hello!

Hello?

One minute!

If you want to, we can speak in silence like this.

I understand your heart.

I want to see you today right now, Ammu.

Did you understand?

I want to eat from your hand, Ammu.

Come immediately. I am waiting for you.

Rajamma!

Quickly make some sambar, rasam, raita-

Also-

Fish fry, chicken gravy, mutton fry,

Payasam and badusha.

And some halwa and kesar too.

For how many, Madam?

How many?

Just for one.

Madam!

MJR Sir…

What happened?

He is no more.

Madam! You can't go inside.

Don't you hear? Madam! Madam!

We can't open the gate, Madam! Why won't you?

I need to go inside!

Madam! Please move aside!

Madam! Please listen to me, Madam.

Move aside, Madam! Move!

Move! Move! Open the gate! Open it!

Open it!

Close the gate! Close it!

I am MTMK's General Secretary.

Who is General Secretary? Who decides that?

When there are so many senior leaders working for the Party for so many years-

How can we accept Jaya as the General Secretary?

How long they are associated with MJR is important?

Or how much they worked for the Party?

What is important is whom did MJR consider as his political successor.

MJR's only successor is our Madam Janaki.

She is our Paryt's Secretary.

All the members will elect her as General Secretary of the Party.

There is no doubt Madam Janaki is MJR's wife.

But being a wife does not make her a leader.

In the recently concluded Assembly elections of Tamil Nadu-

Tamil Makkal Party won 105 constituencies.

In the remaining constituencies, Mr Karna's Party members led in most-

-and won them with great majority.

Greetings.

Greetings.

Who is the Opposition?

Greetings.

Is it Congress?

Greetings.

Is it Janaki Amma?

No, Sir. -Greetings.

Jaya.

Huh?

Greetings.

Don't worry.

This is an indication.

We will definitely win the next elections.

Consider this as a mishap.

But public don't feel that way.

People have accepted Jaya as his successor.

Not me.

Though bitter, that is the truth.

I don't want politics.

Why are you taking me? Answer Me.

I will see your end!

Leave me! Let go!

What is this?

Leave me!

You will pay for your atrocities.

You messed with the wrong person.

I will see your end when I come out.

This government is instigating the police against our leaders for no reason.

Our phones are being tapped.

They have no regard for our rights.

Is this democracy or autocracy?

What stature do you have to talk about rights?

Or are you his political heir?

Who are you throwing abuses at?

(Commotion) (Screams)

This was what happened to Panchali in Mahabharatha.

She put an end to the hundred Kauravas who tried to disrobe her-

And only then did she tie her hair thus fulfilling her vow.

The Mahabharata has another name.

JAYA!

I shall defeat all the male chauvinists who do not know how to respect a woman-

-and step into this Assembly only as Chief Minister!

Greetings.

Greetings. Greetings, Sir.

Greetings, RNV Sir.

Please come.

MJR was my all.

To give a proper leader to the people of Tamil Nadu, we have set up the Party.

It's true you and I have differences of opinion.

But we have a common ambition and goal.

MJR-

I stood in your way in case you would tarnish his image.

I was just his soldier.

Today I hand over the reins of the Party to you in great trust.

People have chosen you the successor of MJR.

When such a leader was humiliated, I couldn't tolerate it.

That's why I came to see you.

Be patient.

You will definitely win this war.

One minute.

Without a commander, how is victory possible?

So, Sir!

Is she fleeing?

Hey!

Don't address her disrespectfully.

She is Amma.

Sister!

How can you work like this without a break?

Please go somewhere and spend some peaceful time.

Without any police protection-

Are you asking me to run away in fear?

If we have to save people from the shackles of the evil-

We have to tread on fire.

I didn't mean that, Sister.

Madam! -Please, please!

You shouldn't move for five or six months.

You must take complete bed rest.

Sir! Huh?

We just got the news.

The government may step down in Tamil Nadu and there may be elections soon.

RNV! Please understand!

She is not in a position to contest or lead you in this election!

If MTMK contests, you will fail.

Mr Rajiv! Please understand.

Don't make a hasty decision.

Even when MJR was in America, we could win.

Trust me.

RNV!

Jaya is not MJR.

Right, Sir.

I am not MJR.

He taught me you may be wounded in war-

-but turning back and fleeing is no bravery.

That you must fight until the last drop of your blood.

Be ready for the war.

“Blow the conch loud”

“There is integrity in this war”

“The enemy's forces”

“Shall be shattered to pieces”

“Self-esteem has sparked off a fire”

“Turning this into a new Bharatam”

“No way can you suppress it”

“Rise, Thalaivi, rise!”

“As the blood in your veins beckons”

“Rise, Thalaivi, rise!”

“Churning the sea for victory”

“Like Arjuna's arrow poised to the sky”

“Is your inspiration filled with fervor”

“When your life is the wager, nothing stops you from capturing power”

“You are the prestige of the State”

“March ahead, march ahead!”

In a forest, an elephant is trying to take on a tiger.

When it couldn't defeat the tiger, the elephant went to a lake and looked at its reflection.

It brooded over the wounds on its body.

But this lady didn't even step into the battlefield.

Why is she brooding over her wounds that don't even exist?

Why the worry? Why the distress?

In the same story, the tiger that was wounded by the elephant would patiently wait.

And retaliate one day.

Probably the ruling Party forgot this.

I may be new to this war.

But wage a war I will.

Only my actions will speak in future.

Those who know the canons of war don't try for sympathy showing a mishap.

This field is not for those who weep.

This is a field for those who rule.

A mother understands her children's agony through their tears.

Tears are natural in a human being.

A tool to express love.

Our beloved leader taught us that only love can rule this country.

She named herself 'Amma'.

But we must prove to her that she is just a kid in politics.

When he killed Kansa, Krishna was a kid too.

What does age have to do with questioning and destroying evil?

Or is my being a woman bothering him?

I promise you that I will protect every household in this State.

I ask you as a mother-

Will you help me win?

Shall we march into the lion's den and lock horns?

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Coimbatore on the 19th.

On 21st Mr Rajiv will speak at Sriperambadur.

I don't see my name in MR Rajiv Gandhi's meeting?

He himself said since the time is short, it's better to campaign individually.

Madam has vowed that she would defeat me in my own constituency.

Let us gift her a defeat that history hasn't witnessed till now.

If we fall down, let's rise!

If we are buried, let's shoot up.

If they break us into pieces, let us turn into a hundred people.

I swear to our Brother MJR!

Swear to our beloved leader!

We will trample the ego of our opponents!

We will win every single constituency and form the government.

We will capture victory unprecedented in history-

In an unforeseen bomb attack,

Prime Minister of India, Mr Rajiv Gandhi has been killed.

While he was at Sriperambadur near Madras on an election campaign-

-a female human bomb resorted to this horrific act as per primary investigation.

We plan something.

But destiny has its own plan.

Be brave.

Whatever happens, we are prepared.

Brother!

This is a man's world.

It's run by men.

And we have allowed a woman to lead us!

She couldn't protect herself in the Assembly.

How would she protect the Party?

Come on, Brother.

We are here because of Mr Rajiv Gandhi.

Now, he himself is no more.

Moreover, there are no funds left in the Party.

Hey, Velu!

What are you blabbering?

Yes, it's a world ruled by men.

But it is a woman who gives them that power.

Start believing in women.

How long will you subject them to litmus tests?

These are my property papers.

This is my jewelry that mom has got made.

Rain or shine, across hills and hillocks, -

I have acted tirelessly day and night and earned this money.

Take it all.

But remember!

I want no one who thinks only money can bring victory.

This fight is for people.

Let us fight till we die.

Madam!

Madam, I take your leave.

Give me the injection and go.

Madam!

Over dose of steroids will create problems in your spinal cord, and there will be complications.

It could be life-threatening.

Do as you are told.

Don't lecture me on side effects.

You are just a trainee.

Why are you bothered anyway?

What do you care what happens with me?

Your victory becomes every woman's victory.

It becomes Tamil Nadu's victory.

You saved millions of children of Tamil Nadu from hunger and gave them education.

I am one of them.

My education and my life-

Everything is your gift.

I remember even today when your car stopped at the railway gate.

'Didn't you go to school?'

'If I go to school, I will starve to death.'

'With peanuts, I can at least make some money.'

Sleep at least for an hour.

You got to stay alive.

You got to stay alive for us!

“Mother of this State you have become”

“This nation will sing in your praise”

“Along with our gods, you will be worshipped”

“You have added value to our lives”

“We are indebted to you unto death”

“We address you as mother”

“With our hearts full of love”

“March on! March on! March on!”

“Rise, Thalaivi, rise!”

“As the blood in your veins beckons”

“Rise, Thalaivi, rise!”

“Churning the sea for victory”

Tamilnadu's Assembly Election results are declared today.

Tamil Makkal Party has won the elections.

MR Karna could register victory only for another candidate besides himself.

After MJR's demise, MTMK is forming the government for the first time.

I resign.

Madam J Jaya will swear in as Chief Minister being the leader of her Party.

I, J Jaya, swear in the name of God, that I will bear true faith and allegiance-

-to the Constitution of India as by law established,

-that I will uphold the sovereignty and integrity of India-

-that I will faithfully and conscientiously discharge my duties as Tamil Nadu's CM-

-and that I will do right to all manner of people in accordance with the Constitution,

-and the law, without fear or favour, affection or ill-will.

'I will step into this Assembly only as Chief Minister.'

'If you love the public, the public will love you back.'

From now everything will happen as we say.

What are you saying? Yes.

What does this woman know about politics?

Hey, quiet. She might overhear.

Let her!

Who would trust a woman?

They will have to come to us.

Though she is the performer, it's we who say 'start', 'camera' 'action', right?

True, true.

Let's go.

Greetings, Madam.

Please sit.

No, no. We are fine.

Sit down.

We are good, Madam.

Madam?

Remove the chairs.

Ok Madam.

If you reckon me a mother, you will have a place in my heart.

But if you take me for merely a woman-

“Rise, Thalaivi, rise!”

“As the blood in your veins beckons”

“Rise, Thalaivi, rise!”

“Churning the sea for victory”

“Like Arjuna's arrow poised to the sky”

“Is your inspiration filled with fervor”

“When your life is the wager, nothing stops you from capturing power”

“You are the prestige of the State”

“March ahead!”

“Betrayal of your own, you have locked behind your eyes”

“No allegations will make your spine relent”

“Every cell in your body yearns for people's well-being”

“Millions of hearts are dedicated to Thalaivi”

“We address you as mother”

“With our hearts full of love”

“March on! March on! March on!”

“Rise, Thalaivi, rise!”

“As the blood in your veins beckons”

“Rise, Thalaivi, rise!”

“Churning the sea for victory”
