Self defence skills were developed
by men in ancient times

in order to save himself
and his family from the enemies.

The art of kicking, wrestling,
boxing, Kalaripayattu, Silambam,

swordsmanship, staffplay and many
such defence skills existed.

Our forefathers have been protecting
us and our culture using these.

But as time flied and changed,
these art forms were long forgotten.

The martial art forms that exist in
the modern world

are just another
version or style of

our traditional self
defence skills.

Crimes against girl children

and young women have increased
to a level beyond our imagination.

In fact, it is so bad that we

cannot even trust our neighbors.

In the current circumstances,
we can't even walk around freely.

Despite asking our kids to remain
at home and play video games

instead of asking to play outside,
we still fear for their safety.

Times when we taught our kids
good and bad habits are gone.

Now, we have to teach them
good and bad touch instead.

Like how we played around
in the streets,

do we allow our children to
go out and play?

Think about it. We aren't
able to give them the freedom.

What are we running in search of?

Can we parents be with our child
in any situation to protect him?

But the self defence skill
can definitely save our child.

It will not only
protect our child,

but also the ones
around our child.

These skills not just help us
to win medals or a government job,

but it also protects us.
Self defence art forms

not just teach us to be braave,
but it improves our concentration,

and make us disciplined.
This film is dedicated to

all those who pursue self
defence skills, their teachers,

mentors and also the parents

who strive hard to see their
children learn self defence skills.

Will the district champion Vicky
defeat Arjun in the third round?

Here begins the third round.

Arjun makes way to the finals

with this victory.

Arjun has won the championship.

Congrats!

Well done, Arjun.
- Hey, congrats Arjun.

I need to meet the sponsor.
- Okay. - You fought really well.

You managed your opponent here,
but once we get back home...

Yes, you only won the Boxing
tournament. But we have someone

who is good at boxing, karate
and Kung-fu, waiting at home.

I wonder how will he handle the one.
- Who is that?

Arjun's mom, of course.
- He is mocking me. Beat him up.

These six children... Well, no...

This movie is a story
of these six children

who want to achieve in these
self defence skills.

Arjun belongs to a rich family,
but his friends

come from ordinary middle
class families.

Caste, religion, poor or rich...

Friendship is beyond all these.
Come, let us watch their story.

This is Arjun's house and this lady
who looks angry

is Arjun's mom, Bharati.
She is an ordinary mother who is

worried about her son's studies.
But Arjun's dad Vishwanathan thinks

children should learn much more
than their curiculum. - Hi mom.

Bharati and Vishwanathan have fights
for this reason often.

Hi darling.
- You say a 'Hi' too.

Hi dear.

Congratulations, dear. Come in.

Sir, she is celebrating already
by welcoming him in traditionally.

What more can we expect?
- Oh, please.

She welcomes me
so affectionately

that I lose my balance every...
- I've been seeing this for years.

Come inside.

He is Ajay. Because
he practices Monkey Kung-fu,

he keeps hopping and jumping
around. His father

doesn't believe in wasting money
and is very stingy in spending.

Do you see your son posing
as a monkey there, up on that tree?

You're spoiling him by pampering
him so much. You should be blamed.

Dad, that's monkey Kung-fu.
I am not acting like a monkey.

It's a martial art found by
Bodhi Dharma in China. - Stop it.

You know every information about
this, but don't score well in exams.

Did you collect your kung-fu dress
from the tailor? - Mom,

I had asked you for rs 600
for that.

Oh, yes, you did.

Listen, please collect his dress
from the tailor.

Don't stare, go carefully.
- You will never mend your ways.

Karate Kavin... He is always
in a confused state of mind.

His dad is an insurance agent.
And keeps pestering people

to buy insurance from him.
- I asked for Shubh Jeevan policy.

Hello... Hello...

Hello, I stay in the floor above
and bought a policy last month.

Looks like, you will ask me
to buy one every month.

Sorry, sir. I dialled your number
by mistake. Please carry on.

Policy and to top it off,
they charge tax. - Dad, what's this?

Your life is happy confined to
school and academy.

But I have to struggle amidst
the tax policies and demonetisation.

You are the only one your dad has
spared from insurance. - Come here.

Sit.

How was the tournament yesterday?
- Like always, Arjun

bagged the gold medal by giving
a tough fight in the match, dad.

You said that you had
a tournament too.

Yes, dad. But I am not sure
if I'd get selected in it.

Why do you say so?
You've practiced well.

You'll definitely be selected.

Even if I get selected,
my exams are round the corner.

I wonder how I will prepare
for the tournament.

Kavin, others may have a doubt
about what you will do in life.

But you must not have any doubts.
Don't be double minded

about any decision and work hard
in any field that interests you.

And you'll surely win.
- Thanks, dad.

It's really hectic.

Is this how you throw and
disrespect your books?

Mom, teachers pester
us in school and

now, you're doing the same here.

I get to hear advices
wherever I go.

- He is Vinith, a
boxing student.

Although he looks tiny,
he not only fights well

in the academy,
but also with him mom at home.

Why are you messing with things?
What are you looking for?

Don't you know where I go
once I return from school?

Where are my boxing gloves?

Do you keep your things in place?
Did you get it home yesterday?

'Correct! It must be in dad's
cell phone shop'. - Stop there.

You're so busy with
boxing practice.

How will you score
in your exams?

In future, you will be proud to be
the mother of a great boxer. Bye.

Hey, stop...
- This is Bharathi Garments,

Vishwanathan's business. He may be
a busy man, but he cares a lot

for the people around him.
It is with his advice

that Sara who was an orphan,
found new parents.

Don't underestimate Sara as she
looks tiny. She is a gymnast.

How is our naughty girl?- We can
keep watching her mischiefs, sir.

She cannot be at one place. She is
hogging and jogging like rubber.

That's called gymnastics and you
must encourage it.

You might find it a joke today,
but she'll make you proud some day.

How is your Sara Child
care foundation going on?

It's doing really good, sir
and all the credit goes to you.

It is you who gave us the idea of
adopting Sara as we had no kids.

Doctor, it's not that. Things we
want to change in our society,

we talk about it with others.

But there are very few people who
understand and implement it.

Hi Sara, how is your gymnastic
classes going on? - Superb, dad.

Dad? - Yes. - No,
he is your dad

and she is your mom from now.
- So, you're my big daddy.

This academy is the place
where the children are very happy.

Listen, students.

I'm going to
announce the list of

kids selected for
the district meet.

Silambam category junior,
Murugan, Adhira,

Anand and Abhinesh.
Kung Fu category,

Ajay and Ram.

Boxing, Raj, Vinith.

In Karate category, we have
Kannan, Bala, Dinesh

and Kavin.

Gymnastics category, Sara, Mahesh
and Arivu.

Good.

Okay, students. Don't be lazy
now that you are selected.

You have to put in
all your efforts

and prepare for the
district match.

Congratulations. Today's practice
over. All of you, disperse.

Thank you, sir.

Hey, you got selected. - Like I
expected, all of you got selected.

We have to win the cup.
- I was not at all sure if I would

get selected. But I got selected
and now, I am relaxed.

Has there been a single day
when you had no doubt?

Dream boy's name wasn't in the list
yet he is cool, eating chips.

Don't grow fat eating junk food.
Give it to me. - Hey, give it!

Adhira got selected in the Silambam
category after great efforts.

Adhira has no father, her mom and
sister work and run the household.

Her dad was a Silambam artist.
Maybe that is why,

Adhira is so fond of the art.
- Adhira...

What is it, mom?

I was so confused as to what
I should do for your birthday.

Your sister has bought a new
dress for you. Here you go.

Why did you spend so much
when our financial state is bad?

We are only the three of us
and you are our pet.

Nothing is more important to us
than your happiness. Forget that.

Let me wish you. Many more
happy returns of the day.

Thanks, sister. - Touch mom's feet
and seek her blessings.

The only wish these kids have is,

their parents support
and encouraging words from them.

I'm really very glad, Mr Sundaram.

Congratulation, Mr Sundaram.

I have put in so much of efforts
to make you win.

Mr Sundar, I request you

to please support our State
as usual. - Sure, I will.

I thank you all for electing
me as the Chief once again.

I am not greedy for this position.
But it is your wish.

And that is why,

I'm here again as the Chairman of
the Tamil Nadu Sports Academy

Owners Association.

We do have a championship
program in boxing in our state.

We have created many champions
in it. Not just in boxing,

but since we have also created
many champions in every martial

art, I have been running this
Sunder Academy.

So, you must have seen that
in every tournament,

our students win several medals.

We have so many sponsors
for cricket in India.

Now, some people are also coming
up to sponsor Football and Kabaddi.

But we hardly have any sponsors
for Boxing.

And so, I have been running this
academy as a charitable institution.

Don't pretend, Sundaram.

I say that you're unfit for this
post. Being the chairman here,

you have misused the amount
given by the sponsors.

What have you done for those
who represent Tamil Nadu in Sports?

You don't allow them to qualify.
You support other States.

Hey, stop your nonsense!

You don't realize my power.
This is the third consecutive time

I have become the Chairman
and I know who all envy me.

You think it's easy to run an
academy with a handful of people?

Get lost... - I'll see how long
you survive in this post for.

All that we earn is spent
in paying the school fee.

That is why, I chose to quit
school... - What?

Whenever I insisted him to study,
you took him for some boxing match.

Now, the principal wants to
see all of us.

Bharathi, you deal with
the principal.

You shut my mouth when I ask you
anything. When he questions,

you better answer to him.
I will not utter a word.

He will hand us the TC for sure.
- TC?!

Madam, should I talk to the
principal... - Shut up!

I'll speak politely...
- Just get lost.

Stand outside and dare not
come inside. - Stay quiet.

You go ahead.

Come.
- Please go.

Look at him staring! Come in.

Madam, you go ahead.
I'll follow you. - Come, son.

May I come in, sir?
- Yes, please.

Where did he go?
- Have a seat.

The principal is calling you, sir.
- Where? - Inside.

Oh, no... He is a rude principal.
- I'll wait here.

Please be seated.
- Sir...

Come in, sir. Please come.

Take a seat. - It's okay, sir.
She is staring at me.

Mr Vishwanathan, you take
Arjun for boxing tournaments.

Do you have any idea about
how good is he in his studies?

It's just this one time, sir.

Arjun prepared well for his exams.
- I'll go to the rest room.

Some children are good in academic.

But weak in sports.
- Yes, sir.

Some children are good in sports
but weak in studies. - Right, sir.

But if students
have the support of

their parents, they
excel in both.

That's true, sir.
- Many parents fear and not

allow their children to play out.
- Yes.

And so, the kids get engrossed
in TV or cellphone.

Parents' support is very important
to kids to excel in their talents.

Arjun won a trophy
in boxing

and made the school proud.
I appreciate that.

But in his exam...

How did he top the class, sir?
- Top the class?

Yes, take a look.

Sir, I knew that he'd score
the first rank.

You won't believe me, but

I wake up at wee hours sharp
3:30 AM by keeping an alarm.

I go straight to the kitchen,
make a cup of piping hot coffee,

take it to his room. I wake him
and make him drink that.

Do you know why?
So that he feels energetic.

And then to improve his
concentration, I teach him

certain Yoga Asanas so that
he becomes sharp.

After that, I teach him
for two hours.

I then send him to school
and go to office. In the evening,

he goes to the sports academy.
After finishing our dinner,

Until 11 PM, I coach him
non-stop.

I prepare Horlicks and keep in
a flask so that he doesn't fall

asleep and can sip on it.
It is only at midnight

that I let him sleep, wear my
shorts and go to bed. Ask me why.

That's because you can get up again
and make coffee for him. - Right.

You are very sharp, sir. He is
studying in such great school.

After all, you're the principal
of the school he studies in.

A principal with principles!
That's what you are. Sorry, sir.

I cannot deal with your emotions
right now. Speak with my wife.

She is sitting idle.
Do you know why?

I need to meet a master in
Pallavaram regarding Arjun's

Pythagoras theorem. I'll see you
later. - Sorry, sir.

Sorry, dear. Bring our son
home carefully. - Sir...

He has tuitions in the evening.
- Wow!

He is going to Pallavaram
for Pythagoras theorem.

What a great father!

Thank you, sir. I never expected

Arjun would top his class.

I feared that he would score
poor marks in the exam.

And so, I fought
with him every day.

Now, I am extremely happy.

Thank you so much, sir.
- Come, my dear.

Congrats, darling.

Madam, please give me
Rs 1000 urgently.

Why? - I need to go to Ambattur
regarding his Algebra class.

I will punch you. One fraud is
more than enough in a family.

You come with me.
- Who is the other fraud?

It's you.
- It's you!

Hello, Madhav Singh.
Good.

Don't bother. I selected the worst
from Tamil Nadu.

As usual, Punjab will win
and Tamil Nadu will lose. Okay?

I wonder if he understood
my Hindi.

I should've learned Hindi
before I started the academy.

Sir...
- Come... Murugan...

Don't you know there's no place
for kids who don't pay the fees?

Ajay, Suresh, Kannan, Vinith...
They haven't paid fees yet.

You are the incharge. Don't you
check on these?

I did tell him several times, sir.
But the coach did not bother.

Muruga, are you a coach
or the MD of this academy?

Why are you being so lenient?
Dismiss those who haven't paid fees.

I am not running a charitable
institution. - Sir...

What is it? - Those kids are
on the tournament selection list.

Here...

I already have the list ready.
Only these kids will participate.

Train only these children. Okay?

You may go.

I say, leave.

Adhira, come here.

Vinith, Ajay...

Both of you, come here.

It's been three months since you
have paid the fees.

We let you go because we are
answerable to Mr Vishwanathan.- Sir.

Not a word more! Pay the fees
and continue with your class.

You may leave now.

Hey, why are you sitting there?

Won't you practice?
- I feel so tired, uncle.

You shouldn't eat junk...

The business is really dull, sir.

I will definitely pay the dues
in two days, sir.

No, I understand. I will
definitely arrange. Okay, sir.

What is he murmuring?

They dismissed me from
the academy

as I haven't paid the fees.
- Did they? That's great.

You better concentrate only
on your studies. - No, dad.

I'm selected to play at the district
level. Need to pay the fee.

I am worried about paying
the dues of the car.

And you're worried about
your academy fee. I have no money.

Just tell him if you don't have
the money. Why hit a grown up boy?

The two of you will not know
the struggle I face every month.

You will of course say that.
There is no peace at home.

Why doesn't things happen
the way we wish for?

That's because we are
less fortunate.

Hi all.

Why have you all pulled
a long face?

Our parents have refused
to pay the fees.

They didn't come to the academy
as they couldn't pay the fees.

You could have come.

How could I have come,
when they aren't able to?

Don't feel bad. All of us
are talented enough.

Talent can never be wasted.

I'll speak to my dad.

Come on, Arjun. Punch.

Sundaram, you are
an ex-sportsman too.

So what? - Just for the silly
reason that they could not pay fees,

how could you dismiss talented
children? - Listen.

Sundaram academy is not a trust

that I can train any random person.

Don't you know how much I have
invested to start this?

Poor, rich, caste, creed,
religion, state, language,

sports is something beyond
all these discrimination.

Isn't it wrong if you decide only
the rich can participate in it?

Everything is business for you. You
know those children are talented.

Give them some more time and
a chance, they'll pay. - Vishwam,

I am not willing to do
any kind of charity.

You are a businessman who invests
millions in your business.

QDon't you know how to recover
your investment?

I'm asking you for an opportunity.

And you're talking about business.

It is of no use even if I sit here
and explain to you.

We have been friends for
the past twenty five years.

We may now be
separated because of

this silly money
issue of yesterday.

Sundaram, don't forget that I
wasn't a poor man

even before twenty five years.

Move to your front, Arjun.
Focus. Punch...

Yes! Yes... Punch. Come on.

Hi dad.

Hello, sir.

Hi Murugan.
- Yes, sir?

Arjun's practice sessions
seem to be good. - His dedication

is superb, sir. His punching
style has improved a lot.

He will definitely win
this championship, sir.

I was really happy when I heard
that all his five friends

also got selected
for the tournament. - Right, sir.

But for the silly reason that
they did not pay the fee, they

were dismissed from the academy
which is inhuman. - True, sir.

Should I pay their fees?

Even if you do that, they won't
be llowed to play, sir.

There's enough politics
in sports as well.

That's the curse that ruins
our country.

Can you do this?
- What is it, sir?

Coach them outside the academy

and I will take care of
th expenses. - Sure, sir.

I don't work only for money, but
also want to bring out true talents.

I will train them well by giving
them personal care, sir.

Thank you, Murugan.
- Thank you, sir.

Well...
- Sir?

Ask that tube-light to get
this tube-light changed.

I feel so sorry for my friends, mom.

They left crying from the academy
as they were dismissed.

I felt so bad.
Is money that important, mom?

No, that is not true.
There are people who are not

greedy for money. Okay?

I will definitely start a sports
academy in future.

I will give opportunities to every
talented person.

Of course, you will.
- Thank you, mom.

I will train you all here,
from tomorrow. - Okay, sir.

All the best.
- Thanks, sir.

Bye, sir.
- See you tomorrow.

This is our academy
from now onwards.

What's the name of the academy?
- It's PG academy.

PG academy?
- Yes, a Plain Ground academy!

Brother, can we have a boxing match
between Sundaram and PG academy?

Brother, you haven't
treated us yet

after you won the
last tournament.

You must give us a treat after
you win this tournament.

Not just a treat, Sara.
We will go on a tour.

That's awesome. - Arjun, are you
prepared for the tournament?

I am well prepared.

Won't you all come for sure?
- Of course.

Will you play unless we come?

By the time your confusion is
cleared, the match will end.

Your son is in full form.
He will definitely win the trophy.

He will make us proud again.
- Correct. - Arjun...

Today is your day.
You are the champion.

All the best.
- Okay, dad.

You should always emerge
a winner. - Sure, mom.

All the best, dear.
- Thank you, mom.

Mom, you have never seen
my match, have you?

The match you will see today
will be a memorable one.

Really?
- Yes, mom.

My darling son.
- Mom, will you stop pampering?

Stop the mother sentiments now.
The match will start any minute.

Get lost.

Round one...

(Music too loud)

(Music too loud)

(Music too loud)

Come on!

A tough fight, indeed.

Arjun gearing up.

Left, right... Arjun is
knocking down his opponent.

First round comes to an end.

Keep playing like this.

Second round.

One...

Two... Three...

Four, five, six...

Seven, eight... Knock out!

Arjun wins!

Yes! What a victory!

Arjun!
- What happened... Arjun!

What has happened to him?
- Go and check on him.

Arjun...

Arjun...

Arjun...

What's wrong with him?
- Call an ambulance.

Quick...
- Come on, Arjun.

Come on, get up.

Doctor, I want to see Arjun.
How is he now?

Well... Our heart beat increases
when we're extremely happy.

Some times, it turns out to be
a massive cardiac arrest. - What?!

What is the doctor saying?

Ask him... What is he saying?
- I'm very sorry.

Arjun... Arjun!

Ganesh...

What did you say?

You say, it's a cardiac arrest.

He is only unconscious,
isn't he?

Please do something.

He is a State champion.

We need to celebrate his victory.

He has only fainted...
- Sir...

You go and treat him, he fell
unconscious. - Very sorry, sir.

He is asleep,
please wake him up.

'Dad...'

Sir...
- Please come.

Have a seat, madam.
- Be seated. - Take a seat, sir.

Bharathi, please come.
The school principal is here.

Hello, sir.
- Hello, madam.

Hello.

Yes, sir?

How are you?

We're dealing with it. - It's
the toughest phase of your life.

Only time can heal these wounds.

I would have come
had you called for me, sir.

Why did you take the trouble?

Tell me what is it regarding.
- I don't want to remind you of

Arjun again and hurt you.
But for our Sports day this year,

we have decided to give away
a trophy in the honor of Arjun.

We need your permission for that.
- Thank you for honoring our son.

We will bear all the expenses

related to it. - No, sir.
The trophy is arranged.

All we want is that you both come
as our chief guest. - Sure, sir.

We'll definitely be there.
- Thank you so much for agreeing.

You must definitely come.

We'll take your leave.
- Bye.

Listen...

It was Arjun's wish

to start an academy
for all the children.

He often told me that.

Why can't we fulfill his wish?

Let us start an academy
in his name.

Sure, we'll definitely do that.

Rise, awake and stop not

till the goal is reached.
Well, keep rising, wake up

and keep working hard
until you achieve your goal.

This is a quote of
the great Saint Vivekananda.

'Strenthen your body!',
said the great poet, Bharathiyar.

You will be nearer to
heaven through football

than through the study of the Gita.

These were also the words of
Swami Vivekananda.

Those with talent need to be
given an opportunity.

This was the wish of my son, Arjun.

Arjun Sports Academy is
the beginning of its fulfillment.

Arjun meant the life to us.

Now in his absence,

the academy we have started in
his name will mean the world to us.

In order to start
this sports academy,

my wife was a great support
and strength to me.

I take this opportunity to thank
my wife, Bharathi.

A quote of Sir Abdul Kalam.
Everyone has a dream.

But make your dream your goal.

And work towards achieving it.

Victory will be yours.

He will now take my name
and become emotional.

Thank you so much.
- He didn't mention your name.

Dad!

Anyone can start an academy.

Do you think he can produce winners
instantly by opening an academy?

What does he know about running
a sports academy?

Right, sir. - He managed to
lure our coach Murugan.

But Sampat, not a single child from
Vishwanathan's academy must win.

Not a single one.
- Sir...

They can do
nothing against you, sir.

You're selected for the district
level game. You've got this chance.

We have reached so far,
after crossing many hurdles.

I want you all to give your best
in this tournament. Okay?

Yes, coach.
- Good.

This way, okay?

Come on, give your best.

District Sports Karate
Championship, 2018...

From Sundaram academy, w

we have Rahul and from Arjun
academy, we have Kavin.

Come on, start.

Kavin!
- Superb!

Come on...

Yes...

The one with a blue band dropped
her stick and so,

the one with red band wins
the match.

Ajay...
- I am okay.

Ready to fight?
- Yeah, I'm ready.

No! Knockout!
- Sir... - But why?

Superb! All our children
fared well.

Sir, he won a gold too.
- Is it?

Vishwanathan, did you win the cup

like India did in the Olympics?
Starting or running a sports academy

is no joke. We already have
a system in place.

It isn't so easy to change that.

One needs money to win
and also lose.

You will understand that gradually.

Muruga, you wouldn't be a loser
if you were in my academy.

You spoiled your reputation. - The
problems I faced as a student

is what these children are facing
now. Things will change for sure.

Why are you quiet, you fawner?
- Do you want me to abuse you

in front of kids? He will
mute me if I did that.

I heard they wiped off weeds.
But these twerps still exist.

Dad...

Is what he said true? Is there
politics even in sports?

Did our efforts go in vain?

Politics is a game these days.

So, how can politics not influence
a sport? So what if we lost?

They let the ones in grief
grieve even more.

So, the answer to failure is another
failure, said Thiruvalluvar.

So what if we lost in the district
tournament? We have an open one.

We'll win there. Don't be
discouraged as he mocked at you.

Remember my words.
Victory can only give you joy.

But it is failure that improves you.

There are no categories in an open
tournament like the others.

They won't see if you are
a professional or an amateur.

There's no bar to participate
in this. And competition is more.

You cannot judge your opponent.
From the different districts of

Tamil Nadu, participants with a fire
to win will come there.

Your focus should be on judging
your opponent's talent quietly,

identify their weakness and attack.
Okay? - Okay, coach.

Think better, work smart.
- Sure.

Good.

The tournament is round the corner.

We must win the cup in the State
meet and make Arjun proud.- Yes.

Sure, we will.
- We need to practice well.

Madam, can you please tell me
where is this address?

Go straight and in the right...

A thief! Thief... He is running
away with my chain. Catch him!

Somebody, help. Catch him!
- Come on, guys.

We won't spare you.
- Catch him!

Come on...

Chase him...

Hey, stop there!

Give me the chain.

Give me the chain, I say!

Hey!

They caught him.

Did you get my chain?
- Yes, madam.

Thanks.

Mom, it hurts.
- Hold on.

It won't heal otherwise.
I'm applying ointment. - Hey, you...

You are the talk of the town.

Do you think you're Bruce Lee's
lineage?

Just go to the academy. You don't
have to fight with goons.

He has returned wounded
and you're yelling at him.

Dad...
- Why did you hit him?

Do you need this? Stop going to
the academy and focus on studies.

You stay quiet. You are the one
who provoked him.

Why did you have to care if anyone
fought on the street?

You do everything but study.

How dare you back answer after
having done that! People are

already talking that I have
raised you like a boy.

Don't try to reach the skies.
No more academy for you.

He is doing this deliberately.
He will only go to school hereafter.

If you touch the stick again to
play Silambam match, I'll kill you.

Maybe, our parents will send us
to the academy if dad Vishwa speaks.

Should we go and see him then?

You are badly hurt.
Is it hurting, dear?

The wound does not hurt, but our
parents' words does.

My mom knocked on my head, dad.

Oh... Poor boy!

My dad has strictly asked me not
to go to the academy again.

Parents misunderstand that learning
martial arts make

the children rude and harsh.
What can we do about it?

Correct, sir. My dad never
encouraged me to learn any skill.

They even stopped sending me to
school. That's why I love my dad.

You...
- Ignore him.

This is a test too. Real life
experiences like these

teach you to react spontaneously.

You don't worry. I will come and
speak to yoru parents today.

I will come too.

Sir, please don't misunderstand me.

If you are here thinking that you
can convince us to send them back,

we won't allow them, sir.

Well, sir...

If a person is seen
injured on the

road, most of them
ignore and leave.

Your children took the trouble
to catch a thief.

Usually, people only watch
as mute spectators.

Or they might click and post picture
on Facebook or Twitter.

But your children...
Everyone is praising them.

Why are you stopping them
from going to the academy? - Sir...

That thief had a knife, sir. - Did
you expect him to have chocolates?

Will you be quiet?
Let me talk.

Sir, what I mean is...
- You need not say anything more.

Our children won't come to
the academy anymore.

Children should only concentrate
on their studies at this age.

Thank you for your concern
and help, sir. - Sir...

In fact, we must appreciate them.

Even the elders get scared
on seeing a knife.

Our children fought with him.

It's a big deal. - It would be
good if they achieved something.

They fought with a goon
and returned injured. - Madam...

Children these days die while
trying to click their own picture.

And your daughter fought with
a thief with such self confidence.

I don't want her to do that. I just
want her to study well.

Study, my foot!

Be quiet.
- Sorry, sir.

Okay, forget about it.

You find your anger justified,
at the moment.

Let me tell you this.

We need not teach the children
of this age to do anything.

They're doing what is right
for them.

If you cannot help them,
at least try not to stop them.

They have worked reallyhard
to reach the State level.

Just a few more days
of hard work

and they will definitely win
in the State level. Think over it.

I have faith in your children.

If you have that faith too, please

send them to the academy. It is
my responsibility to make sure,

they achieve great feats.

I'll leave.

Sir! - Dude, get lost.
- Thank you, sir.

'Send them to reality shows.'
- We must support this as parents.

Self-defense is important.
Let the kids learn, sir.

Sir! Sir! Sir!
Just a minute, sir.

Why do you worry about
these kids, sir? - No, buddy.

They are my world after
Arjun's demise.

I can't let my honor
cost their dreams.

I mean if you floated a political
party instead of this academy,

you could have been busy
with political meetings,

debates and got people
to follow you.

Politics is not my circus.
But there is a leader.

Our nation will prosper
if all of us followed his advice.

Who was he talking about?

Is he referring to
leader of style

or leader of substance?

Who could it be?

Of course! He meant
this evergreen leader.

'The Tai Kung Fu Association hosting
State Level All Martial Arts'

'Championship Open
Tournament 2018.' - Fight!

Stop!

'Focus!'

Aadhira!

'The final round begins. Blue corner
Vinith, Red corner Naresh.'

'Vinith is taking a lead.'

What is he doing?
Ask him to punch on face.

Knockout!
- Yay!

Hurray! - 'Vinith wins
the game!'

Super, Kavin.
- Yes!

[Audience Cheering]

Hey In-Charge, you swore
on me that

we would win all medals. A hopeless
coach! I wasted all my money

on eggs and energy drinks for them.
I haven't pampered my own son.

Hey dumbo, guess Sundaram
dumbo academy lost!

Sundaram, money doesn't
determine everything.

Talent and honesty
hold more value!

It has respect. I'm sure you
witnessed it now.

I hope you realize!

Thanks to people like you,
India does not win more than a

couple of medals at the Olympics.
Once we weed out people like you

India will top the charts!

We did struggle and earn
our victory quite late.

But we won fair and square.
- You called me a Jack

not realizing the worth of
Jack in a deck of cards.

Fine! Sundaram Academy has lost.
What are you going to do?

Why don't you run a salad
business instead?

Corn, peas, carrot salad!
- That's enough. Game over!

You are mistaken, sir.
The game begins now!

"Hurray! We did it!"

'I'll setup a sports
academy in future!'

'We'll give a chance to people
with talent, encourage them.'

Bharathi!

Arjun has not left us.
He is here in spirits.

We can see Arjun
in every one of them.

Kids, this is our
first victory.

We must carry on with
same spirit and efforts.

Let us participate in the
Nationals at Tirupati.

Okay? - Sure, Father.
- Okay! - Okay!

Be victorious!'
- Bye!

Win the game!
- Sure, mom!

Dear champions, you should all give
your best. Okay? - Okay, Father.

You must ensure to honor my
promise to your parents,

and their faith in you.
- Don't worry, father. We'll ace it!

Super, dear.
- Hello, sir.

Take care. Stay safe. - Hi!
- Mother, why don't you join us?

You'll have practice sessions now.
Father

and I will be there
for the match.

Okay? Right? Shall we leave?
- Take care! - Bye!

Stay safe. All the best!
- Okay. - Hey Kavin!

Kavin, all the best. - Get in.
- Stay safe. - Bye!

All the best!
- Coach! -Bye!

Tell me!
- You're going for finals at

Tirupati. Please visit the temple.
- Wow! You

truly care for our kids victory.

- Nope! They offer 2
'Ladoos' per person.

There are six of them.
We'll get a dozen 'Ladoos.'

Not only that. Chandrababu Naidu
is the CM again.

Long ago, a genius had
predicted that he

would serve 'Jalebi'
instead of 'Ladoo'.

Please get that too!
- Dude, what's wrong with you?

I was reminiscing the past.
- My foot! Go work.

Get lost!
- Okay! Okay!

Coach!
- Sir!

Have your seniors
and other students

reached?
- Yes, sir. They're at the spot.

Thank you, sir.
- Bye!

Bye, Father.
- Bye!

All the best!
- Thank you, mother.

Take care.
- Bye!

Bye! Bye! - Bye!
- Bye all of you!

'Hurray!'

I think this is
the car. Stop here.

The car has met with an accident.
But no one is here.

Hello, Mr Vishwanathan?
- Tell me.

Sir, do you own a black Scorpio?
- Yes! It

belongs to Arjun Academy.
Who is speaking?

'Sir, I am Palanisamy calling from
Petharajapeta patrol. Your car

has met with an accident at Madur
crossing on Tirpuati highway.'

Accident?
- 'Yes, sir.

What are you saying, sir?
Are the children safe? - Children?

I can't find anyone here.
'Please come to the spot now.'

Sure, sir.

'The number you are
trying to reach...'

Tell me, Vishwa.
- Rajsekar, my students were

going to the Tirupathi
tournament in my car.

The car met with an accident
on the way. - Where?

Somewhere close to Madur.
The Highway

Patrol Police had called me.

Is everyone safe?
- They said there was

no one in the car. I'm
scared, Rajsekar.

Vishwa, don't get tensed.
I'll collect

the details and call you soon.

Thanks, buddy.
I'll go to the spot.

Bharath, come to my
room immediately.

Sir! - Bharath, there was an
accident at Tirupati highways.

Contact Madur Highway patrol
and collect all details immediately.

Ask the Station Inspector to
come to spot. We've to go at once.

Okay, sir.
- Quick!

What is the
cause of the accident?

Sir, we didn't get any
evidence for accident

in the first investigation.
- Okay!

Call the forensic
department. - Okay, sir.

Block this road and divert
all vehicles. - Okay, sir.

It looks serious.
Are my students safe?

Don't worry, Vishwa.
I'll handle this.

We'll find the children soon.
As far

as I know, it is
nothing serious.

You said the competition
was in Tirupati, right?

What if the children
reached the spot?

Did you ask them? - I'll do it.

Hey Selvam!
- 'Tell me, sir.'

Did Murugan sir and our
students come there?

- No, sir. They said
they'll come by evening.

We couldn't reach their phone.
Please call

as soon as they reach.
- 'Sure, sir.'

Okay! Sir, they are yet
to reach the spot.

Don't get tensed, Vishwa.
I will handle this

case personally.
Thoodu, stay with him.

Inspector.
- Sir!

I'll take charge of this
case from here. - Sure, sir.

I'll also inform the
higher officials. - Okay!

Okay?
- Okay, sir.

Bharath, going by
the looks of it it

appears like a 'Hit
and run' case.

So, cover all toll
plazas in the area.

Ask them to seize any vehicle

in 'Hit and run' case
within 30KMS radius. - Yes, sir.

Even a small clue
can be useful to us. - Okay, sir.

'Why don't you
join us, mother?'

Vishwa, did you inform
the parents?

How do I tell them, Rajsekar?

I took responsibility
for the kids

and sent them to Tirupati.

How do I go tell them that
the car met with an accident

and the children are missing?
- No! That will be wrong.

Call for a parents meet immediately.
Don't tell

them anything. I'll take care of it.
- Okay, sir.

Hello, sir. What is the issue?
You asked us to come immediately.

Sir, we just dropped all
our children and left.

You've called us again.
What is the issue?

The car in which children
traveled to Tirupati... - What?

Met with an accident.

Accident? - What happened?
- Are they okay? - Hold on.

We can't find the
children in car. -What?

Sara!
- Madam, are you okay?

Hey, what are you saying? You are
acting so casual as though

a schoolkid lost its pen.
- Sir, please calm down.

How? - We are not sure
about what happened to our kids.

Sir, how can parents
stay calm when

their kids are missing?
You sent them.

Now, you say they are missing.
They are your repsonsibility.

Look, sir. I'm handling this case.
- Sir, I don't care who you are.

Where are our children?
Answer me. Ou

come in support of
them everytime.

Answer us! Open your mouth.
Say something.

Sir, hear me out. - Sir, let go.
- Stop fighting. - Let go!

Sir, let go. - Get back.

- Nothing, sir.
- You've lost our kids.

I am sure your
kids are safe, sir.

Yes! They will be safe.

We also love the kids.

We've already
lost our son!

These kids are
good as our own.

He will ensure to bring
them home safely.

We have a lot of respect for you.
Please don't ruin it, sir.

Look, please listen to me.

The car met with an accident.
But there are

no blood stains. So the
children are safe.

Give us a little time, sir.
We'll find

your children. It is
our responsibility.

We don't have an option
but to believe you, sir.

What are you saying, sir?
- Sir! Sir! Sir, please.

Please calm down. They are saying
children are not hurt.

Look, sir. We're wasting time
by discussing here.

I'll ensure that
your children come

home in next 48 hours.
Please leave.

Get going!
- Your children will be

safe. Don't worry.
Please trust us.

Go, madam.

Sir!

Bharath, I need the details of
those 5 kids and coach immediately.

I asked you to collect
details from Madur

Inspector. Any progress?
- It's here, sir.

Sir, the accident
happened in a remote

area. So, there
are no witnesses.

We've checked the
residential area, hospital

within the radius of 10KMS.
No witness, sir.

Did you get any clue about the cause
of the accident? - Nothing, sir.

But, it must be a heavy vehicle.
We are tracking it.

I asked you to collect
CCTV footage from

the Toll plaza.
- We are on it, sir.

Make it quick.
- Yes, sir.

God tests everyone!

We shouldn't let go of our
faith and belief at such times.

Our students will
be home soon.

Rajsekar, did you find
any clue based on

the information you have.
- Nothing yet.

I feel the children are
the main target here. - Gosh!

We have checked all hospitals
in and around the accident spot.

But there are no such
cases registered.

So, I am little...

Fine, Vishwa. Were
students part of any

specific incident in
the recent times?

In recent times...
Yes!

These students had
caught hold of a

Chain snatcher in the housing board.
That's a recent episode.

There is some note
on the pigeons's leg.

'Kids are safe. Demand soon.
No Police.'

Sir, the pigeons has died.

Gosh!

How did it die soon
after delivering

the ransom note? Why
did it die here?

Bharath, send this
to Forensic lab and

get the report at once.
- Yes, sir.

Tighten the security
around the Academy for

24/7. Let them go undercover.
- Sure, sir.

Rajsekar, let me inform the
parents about it. - Don't call them.

We can't be sure of what is
happening. We've just got a clue.

So we'll be putting the kids at
risk by informing others. - Right!

I suggest you close the Academy
till this issue is sorted.

Sure!

Will they find our daughter?

I wonder where and
how she is!

I want Sara back safely.

I just spoke to
Vishwanath sir.

Police are investigating
all sources.

They will definitely
find her soon.

Sara was the ray of hope
in our barren lives.

I strongly believe that
she will come back to us.

Until now, I've only
collected money.

For the first time,
I am paying out. Hey!

Super, buddy. You abducted
the kids on time as discussed.

Let them suffer here until
the tournament is over.

'Vishwanathan thinks
I am unfit.'

We invested crores of money
to start this academy first.

He offered to do it for free

and took away our
students and sponsors.

What do I do with an empty
academy? I can't play alone!

Here you go!

'Sundaram!'

'You don't seem to
know about me.'

Did you think I abducted these
children for the peanuts you offer?

Vishwanathan is a
golden duck to me.

I planned all this on the same
day you asked me to abduct them.

He is owns property
worth millions!

Oh! Is that your plan?

Super, buddy.
Hey!

I asked you to
abduct these kids to

keep them away from
the tournament.

'But you are using them'

'to collect millions
from Vishwanthan.'

'I will never let
that happen, dude.'

Hey, do you know what will happen
if I inform the Police? - Hit him!

'You don't know our master plan.
How dare you mess with us?'

Sir, there is a good chance
for the Police to trace us.

Yes! I didn't want them to
track us down using network.

So I followed the age
old pigeons technique. - Fine.

How are you sure that
the pigeons will reach them?

You are a newbie! You'll learn
it in course of time.

'Whatever! I need the money.'
- Tie him up!

Please inform if you
find any clue. - Sure, sir.

Sir, this pen drive has
all details of the case.

Play this.

Play that suspect
clip now.

Check if this van crossed
the nearby toll plaze!

Can you zoom it bigger?

Is this the maximum size?
- Yes, sir.

Sir!
- Tell me.

He engages in 'pigeons' betting.
- Greetings, sir.

He knows everything
about the pigeonss.

- For how long have
you been betting?

I've been training
pigeonss for over 25

years. I have 15 years
of betting experience.

How long does it take to train a
pigeons to deliver notes and return?

There are different
kinds of pigeons.

Homer variety is
used for racing.

It can fly up to 2000 KMS.
They won't get diverted off the way.

On an average, they cover
a distance of 300-400 KMS

easily in a day!

It takes about 1-3
months to train them.

If you train 10 pigeonss,

only 4 will be succesful. The
rest will get killed by eagles!

Is there a chance for a pigeons
to go to a different spot

How does it go to
the exact spot?

- Just like dogs,
elephant and parrots

pigeons has sharp memory power.
Once you train them

they won't forget the
spot or the person.

Fine! What is your name?
- Thangarasu, sir.

Thangaraj, I want you to come
whenver we call you. - Sure, sir.

Okay! You may go.
- I'll take leave, sir. Bye, sir.

Sir!

The Doctor wants to meet you
about the pigeon's forsensic report.

Sure. Tell him that I'll call.
- Okay, sir.

Hey, lock him up
along with the children.

Sir, do you think that man will
agree to pay for these children?

Dude, Vishwanathan is
really fond of those children.

Further, he has to answer
their parents.

He is quite sentimental.
So, he'll definitely pay up. - Hey!

How dare you
attack me?

The consequnces are going
to be very bad.

I employed and paid
you salary, moron.

How dare you tea
up with him?

'I learned it from you.
As a owner of

an Academy, if you
can fix a match'

what's wrong if I did the same?
- Dude, how can you compare

yourself with me?
Disgusting. -Sundaram!

This is abduction business and not
your Academy business.

'Mr Sundaram!'

Shut your trap.
Hey, take him away.

Come along! - Hey! Hey!
- I won't spare you.

'Keep quiet and walk!'
- 'Don't mess with me.'

Get inside.

Let's leave.

Sara! Vinith!

Dear kids!

I acted foolishly.
- Sir!

Please forgive me.
- It's okay, sir. Don't worry.

I did this for a personal gain.

I did this to keep all of you
away from the tournament.

I didn't expect to
land us in trouble.

Sir, you don't worry.

Sir! Sir!
- Sir! Sir!

Sir, what happened?
- Are you okay? - Sir!

Doctor, can you give
us more details

about this pigeons's
forensic report?

After the forensic analysis,
it is evident that this pigeon

was fed a medicine
an hour or two ago.

It's got a component called
4-Aminopyridine

which causes nervous weakness
and fits when fed to a pigeon.

So, the pigeon succumbed to it.

Is there any medicine to
to treat the poisoned pigeons?

Yes! There's a chance to save
the pigeon by giving it

a chemical mixed with
activated charcoal.

Okay. Thank you, Doctor.
- Any help, call me!

Thank you!

Pigeons is a new technique.

Bharath, do we have
the Tamil Nadu map?

Yes, sir.
- Get it.

'On an average, they can
fly about 300-400KMS'

'easily in a day.'

'They are fed a medicine
an hour or two ago.'

Here it is, sir.

Bharath!
- Sir!

Can you list down the places in
a 100 kms radius from Arjun academy?

Tirutani, Arakonam,
Chengalpettu, Mahabalipuram,

Pulicat, Melmaruvathur, sir.
- Okay. Check all these places.

Sir, how do we find in
such a wide landscape?

Yes. You are right.

Yes! Send a separate
team to each of these places.

Yes, sir. - Next, ask them to check
unfinished buildings and godowns.

Okay, sir! - Ask them to arrest
all suspects.

Most importantly, ask them
to check the crime records in

all the police stations I've marked.

Sure, sir - Okay?
Okay. Let's move.

I'll bend down.
Get on top of me.

Careful!
- Hold tight! - Hey!

What's that noise? - Yes, sir.
- Come along.

I did hear some sound.

Rajsekar, it seems like
a big plan by

looking at the arrangments here.
- Yes, Vishwa.

We are moving
in the right direction.

If my guess is right,
we can rescue the kids today.

Bharath, the pigeon can
come from any direction.

We got to be alert.
- Yes, sir.

Are the teams ready?

Sir, the pigeon is
coming this way. - Hold it.

Careful!
Give it to me.

Doctor!

50 million?

Let us not take a risk
with the children.

I will somehow arrange
for this amount. - No, Vishwa.

I am responsible for
the safety of kids. Don't worry.

The pigeon is the only clue we have
received. We cannot miss it.

How can we reach the kids
with the help of this pigeon?

We'll send the pigeon
back to the same place.

Only then can we find
those kidnappers.

If we fix GPS on the pigeon,
we can easily find their location.

How were you sure that a pigeon
would again come today?

Well...

It's a new technique.

Mr Rajsekhar...

Yes, doctor? - The pigeon
is hundred percent safe.

Thank you, doctor for the timely
help. - All the best.

Can we find the kids?

If he is making such brilliant move
by kidnapping children,

he is very dangerous.

Vishwa, you stay here and call me
as soon as you get any information.

Okay.
- Bharath, let's move. - Sure, sir.

I am going to let the pigeon fly.
It can fly in any direction.

We are going to follow it
with this GPS tracker.

Because this is the only clue
we have received. - Okay, sir.

So we should be very careful.
We need to follow this.

Okay?
- Okay, sir.

Uncle Sundaram's cellphone...

Oh, no... The screen is locked.

I lost my son...
- Sir, we had great respect for you.

Don't disappoint us, sir.

It's a touch-id. I have seen it.

Superb!
- I told you.

Stay silent. - Shall we call dad
Vishwa and tell him?

We don't know where we are. Let's
send our location to him.

I have no clue who could've
abducted the children.

I suspect Sundaram, sir.
- No.

Sundaram won't do that.

Poonthamalai... get the traffic
diverted. Ask them to follow us.

Hey... - Sir?

I'm receiving some photos
from Sundaram's phone.

The location is Aranbakam.
- I told you he is the culprit.

Wait...

Rajsekhar's number is not reachable.

Shall we jump down?

Wait...

We'll be caught if we jump down.
Let us walk through that.- Okay.

'The number you're calling is
unreachable or switched off.'

Did you check on the kids?
- I beat them so hard

they're lying unconscious.
They won't get up for two days.

Where are we now? - Guindy.
- Alert Guindy station. Quick.

Down...

Why is the signal weak?

Any problem?
- No, sir.

Okay, slow...

The direction changed.
- Take a U-turn.

Ask all the other vehicles
to follow us.

The signal is stuck there.
- Yes, sir.

Okay, what's the distance between
it and us now? - 200 meters, sir.

Stop the vehicle.

Stay here and keep watching till I
give instructions. Stay alert.

This is where the new signal
appeared.

Bharath, let's go that side
and check.

Inform our team.
- Yes, sir.

It is showing 200 meters
surrounding.

But how can the signal get stuck
at one place in the sky?

We lost this clue.

Sir, how will we find them?
- Bharath...

I think we're almost
near the location of the kids.

We need to find the children
at any cost.

Vishwa had called and also
sent me a message on WhatsApp.

Vishwa has found the location of
the kids. We need to get there.

Somebody is coming.
- Dad!

Dad...

Quiet!

Kids...
- Dad...

Hope they didn't trouble you.
- No, dad.

Let us escape silently
from here. Okay? - Yes, dad.

Come on. Let us go.

I will get Murugan and Sundaram.
You go ahead.

Go ahead. Go...

Come on, Vishwa...

Catch him!

Vishwa...

Vishwanathan...

Vishwa...

I heard a gunshot. Come on, quick.

Dad...

I came here to save you all, but...

There is no way to escape.
The only way is

to fight them.

They're goons who thrash
people for money.

But you have learned martial arts
professionally.

Self defense skills not only
saves our life,

but it is also to fight back,
if that is the need of the hour.

Your tournament is not
in Tirupati.

It's right here.

Who are you? You are the common man

who fought back and re-started
the Jallikattu sport.

Go, make them bite dust.

Come on, run.
- Don't let them escape.

Don't turn back.

They're making us run.

Ajay...

Let us run in different directions.

Hey, I never asked you to
get the money here.

How did you reach here? Where's
the money? - In the car's trunk.

Anyway...

Good that you are here.
50 million was for the kids.

50 million more is for your life.

Call up your wife.

Ask the ambulance and our rest
of the team to reach the location.

Quick. Come on.

Come after me and see
what I do to you.

Try to touch it now.

Adhira!

Kavin...

Where should I go?

Will you run anymore?

No, I won't... Let me go.

Let me go...

Hold this, let me play
football.

You fatso, did you call me
a crab? Here you go. - Not there.

It's broken... into pieces.

Are you trying to scare us
with these tiny tots?

No one can escape from here
because this is my fort.

No, you are mistaken...

Dad!

Dad!
Where are you?

Dad...

Dad...
- Dad...

Dad...

Dad...
- Dad...

Dad...

Dad...

Run!

Kavin, block his way!

Adhira...

Here...

Come on, surround the place.

Quick...

Come on, quick.

Don't let them escape.
Surround them.

Take him away.
Come immediately.

Vishwa... What happened?

Careful.

Take him... Quick.
Get the ambulance.

Dad...

Dad...

Sir, why didn't you inform the press
that the kids were abducted?

We kept the operation secret to
ensure the children's safety.

Do you regret that
the kids couldn't

participate in the
national meet?

Of course, I do.

But they faced such
a difficult situation

so bravely and escaped from it.
This itself is a tournament.

If not this time, they'll surely
win the nationals next time.

Crimes against children have been
increasing off late.

Whta's your take on it, sir?

Just an advice for the parents.

Teach your son the value
and importance of a girl.

And teach your daughters
the technique of self-defense.
