All language subtitles for Master (2021)_track4_[eng]

Mother

'Appa...!'

'Let's kill this boy also, partner'

If we burn all the evidence
we will be the prime suspects

'We need a witness
to speak in our favor'

All that is fine

Just like his father, what if he also
makes trouble insisting on being truthful?

Let's find out right away

Hey boy
What's your name?

- Bhavani
- Huh?

Bhavani

How did your parents die?

They were burnt to death
in a gas explosion

[loud laughter]

He sure knows to survive, I say

After we use him as a witness

...let us complain against him
for stealing our union funds

'His father is Lorry Union leader'

If we claim his son stole union cash
will anyone believe that story?

Sudden show of mercy, huh?

He's so young, that's why

Hey boy, listen

I'll send you to a place where boys
like you are well looked after

Will you go there?

'Govt Juvenile Observation Home
Nagercoil, Kallakurichi'

'That boy shouldn't sleep
even one night in peace'

I've given you more than
what you asked

Thank you, brother

If there's any kind of foul play
Esakki will hunt you down and kill you

- Keep an eye
- I'll take care, bro

'Hey! Come'

'What are you glaring at him for?'

Hey! You want the luxury of sleep, huh?

What are you looking at?

Wipe it

Wipe my boots

Pickle you to pieces, rascal!

'All of you, move aside'

'Bro!'

Die!

Hey you! Can't hit you more than this

Standing

Standing so still
least bit affected!

You are hitting me mercilessly
because someone is paying you

I have to pay you much more
to make you stop hitting me

I am penniless
Hit me all you want

When I have the money

I'll call you then

[phone ringing]

- Who is this?
- 'Brother'

'That boy Bhavani has escaped from jail'

Scumbag! Is this why
I'm spending so lavishly?

I'll deal with you in person
Find him before daybreak

Scumbag!

'Don't worry, Brother'

I won't harm you

'If I had wanted to, I could have easily
slit your neck when you were asleep'

But I can't be on the run
throughout my life

I came here to request you
to let me lead a normal life

I don't understand

Let me live my own life

What do I gain by releasing you, huh?

Give me a chance
for just this 1 week

I'll give you half of
what I earn this week

'Whichever week I don't pay you'

...stab me on that same day
at that same spot

Fine, I'll take a chance on you

This week is yours, go

How much do you usually pay for a lorry
to cross the check post without a permit?

Only if you cough up Rs 1000 per lorry
you'll be allowed to pass

I'll get the permit slip

Rs 1000 is yours to keep

I want Rs 100 per lorry

If the policemen hassle us?

That's my responsibility

What, I say?
What do you want?

'2002-2003
Register'

Go...go

Move...move

Come, quick

Hey! Wait...wait

Hurry up

If you want the permit slip in your hand

I must get Rs 500 per lorry

Got it?

Whether I'm here or not

...ensure the boys get
their share of booze and fag

'Govt Reformatory'

In a way, only we are
responsible for all this, partner

When we killed his father
we should have burnt him to ashes too

Now he has the gall to contest as head
in the Lorry Drivers' Union Election

How did he amass
this much wealth, bro?

Logu, do you know how many
lorries run under his control?

On top of it, he owns a meat factory

He is into exports too

All this is common news, partner

These boys in the reformatory
for juvenile delinquents

'He uses them to do something
That's where the money flows in'

Some even say he plays proxy
to a minister to launder his money

If he wins this year's Union election

...he will stoop to any level
to avenge his father's murder

Doesn't make sense to spare him
beyond this stage, partner

Talk of the devil!

Close his chapter

Hello, my dear boy
Hindu, Muslim, Christian

You seem to have the charms
of all the Gods around your neck

Each sect endorses
a particular God

One God will save me
when I'm in danger

Minimum guarantee

Philosophy?

Is this the same chap who pleaded
when he was 17 to spare his life?

We need to discuss something
very important with you

You were paying us
on a weekly basis all these years

You can stop it

Instead you can sell all your assets

'Go and earn a living
somewhere outside India'

I felt the same and
wanted to tell you next week

'For how long?
That too every week'

How can I pay tax to you
to ensure my life is not at risk?

That's why I've decided
to stop payment

That decision isn't
yours to take, scumbag!

'Just zip your lips
and obey our orders'

I will do only what I feel is right

Hey...dai!

I am well aware of
how dirty your hands are

Making those boys surrender
for the crimes you commit

'Instigating them to kill
We know about all your offenses'

Don't show off your temerity
Just tuck your tail and scoot

Otherwise you will meet your death
in our hands, watch it

[mocking laughter]

[imitating laughter]

Look around you
This is my area

'If I set my heart on it'

Only your lorry will move from here

Not you

I think you are unable to differentiate
working for money and for gratitude?

Shall I show you a sample?

Listen! We have an important
work to do, come here

'He is calling us, come'

- 'Bhavani, da
- Why is he calling us suddenly?'

Whoever kills these 3 men
in this spot will be rewarded

With a prize money

2 million

[burst of amused laughter]

'Do you realize where you are
and what you are blabbering?'

You think I work for brother
with money as motive?

We go back a long way, da

- 3 million
- If you raise it 50%?

- 'He is like my own brother'
- 4 million

Why are you keeping quiet
when he's so arrogant, bro?

Just say 'yes'
I'll kill him-

5 million!

- How dare you rattle off?
- 6 million

Hey! Kill him now

Wait...let us hear our brother out!!

7 million

Wait...wait, bro

I'll go up to the gate and
make sure no one enters this area

- 8 million
- What?

Move aside

Then shall we lock
the deal for 8 million?

- Okay, bro
- Are you ready?

We will divide 8 million equally
I'll deal with these 3 men

Now do you know the difference
between greed and gratitude?

Bro, chopper

I don't need this

I'll give you 2 minutes

Kill me if you can

And save yourself

Hey!

Hey!

These boys?

Yes, sir

Post mortem matches the crime scene?

They have done a neat job, sir

Not knowing to drive
they ran over a man

You expect me to buy this?

'Whom are you trying to trick?'

Sir, I'm not a professional driver

I thought I'll try my hand
But turned out fatal

- Right?
- Yes, sir

- 'Do they have a past history?'
- Yes, sir

Pickpocket case, 511

Then 6 months they were in
a Govt reformatory

Now they are in IPC 302
Punished for murder

Is this a reformatory?

Or a criminal training center?

Why do you need this reformatory
that turns a thief into a murderer?

- Call the Observation home staff
- Okay, sir

Sir, he's calling you

Good afternoon, sir
I am the superintendent here

Forget the introduction, when do you
intend employing a regular master?

The boys drive away
any master we appoint

Actually scared of them,
no teacher wants to take up this post

But how can you run a school?

'Not one teacher so far, huh?'

Shocking and shameful!

If there's no master to teach
or guide the students

'...how will they reform, huh?'

'I have personally seen
30-40 cases like this here'

'Superintendent, I'm passing a Govt order'

'Send it to all private, Govt schools
and colleges, to every single institution'

Whole of Tamil Nadu

'You'll find a master
for sure, understand?'

Type out the order

"They call me master
Changes will happen faster"

"His entry spells power"

"Who is our master?
Commander...!"

'St Jeffery College is a truly renowned
educational institution in Chennai'

'Alumni of this college
have carved a name'

'In cinema, politics, advertising and
are celebrities in their own might'

This college has molded innumerable VIPs

'Students are very eager to make this
a very memorable reunion'

Do you want to know why?
Come along with me

Hi...Ramya

- Hi, nice to meet you
- Same here

I've spoken to you over the phone

- Oh! That was you?
- Yeah

Okay...okay

- What's your full name?
- Charulatha Prasad

Come, let me introduce you to everyone

- This college has a decorum
- Students are capable of doing it

Their plan is to ruin our image when
the minister arrives as our chief guest

'If this issue leaks,
your college reputation is at stake'

You want to take further action

- Do so after the minister leaves
- This is well planned

'Sri, stop this cat & mouse game'

- You had better confess the truth
- Trust me, sir

- Isn't JD responsible?
- No, sir

I swear, no, sir

Then who is the culprit?
Your father...?

Everyone knows about Savitha's trauma

I know how those 2 scumbags
sexually harassed her-

Hey! Mind your words

Spit that gum first

I said throw it out

I'll trash it as soon as
it loses its sweetness

Don't act smart

The two noble souls
who sexually harassed her

You suspended them for 1 week

Knowing it was inadequate
we even complained to the police

But they took us for a ride
without taking any action

Only then we knew Aadith's dad
is a rich businessman

I think he has planned
to send them off to Canada

That's why I took the boys

'...to his house
to find out his plan'

'Hello, sir, they haven't
left the house as yet'

'I think they are still inside'

'But it's evident they have
hatched a plot to escape'

'Strangers keep walking in to their house'

'Sir, I can hear their voices
I think they are coming out'

- 'Take care, son
- Don't worry, pa'

- Be safe
- I'll call as soon as I reach

'This is the duo'

'Call after you reach the airport'

Go...go...go

Let's follow them

Both of them have left home, sir

Aadith and Rahul are in a taxi
They just crossed Ashok Nagar

'Along with our boys
I am following them, sir'

- Where are you, bro?
- 'At a signal'

- Which signal?
- Jafferkhanpet

Ask him the bus number

- Which bus?
- '70 V'

Bus number, bro?

70, V

It's coming close to you
Waiting at the signal now

'Bro...look this side'

I've spotted you Come on, hurry up

'Look, it's that bus'

Quick!

- 'Get in'
- Move

Both of them got into
bus number 70 V, sir

'Bus number TN 01 AN 1184'

'Bus has crossed
Jafferkhanpet signa-'

Why did he cut my call?

"Got the man with the plan right here"

"Bringin' swag with the man right here"

[mobile ringing]

"Yeah, clap for me, man, right here"

"Got the man with the plan right here"

"Bringin' swag with the man right here"

"Livin' up and sippin on beer"

"Yeah, clap for me, man, right here"

"Hey! No matter what they say"

"Master the blaster"

"Hey! No matter what they do"

"Mr Master the Blaster"

"Riddim"

"Hey! No matter what they say"

"Master the blaster"

"Yeah! Master the blaster"

"Hey! No matter what they do"

"Mr Master the Blaster"

"Got the man with the plan right here"

"Bringin' swag with the man right here"

"Repeat!
Livin' up and sippin on beer"

"Yeah, clap for me man, right here"

"Got the man with the plan right here"

"Bringin' swag with the man right here"

"Repeat!
Livin' up and sippin on beer"

"Yeah, clap for me, man, right here"

"Sound the alarm"

"Yeah! Give it up for my man JD
settin' fire to the screen"

No problem at all, bro

I've informed our boys

They are inside the airport

Don't worry at all
All loopholes covered

"His entry spells power"

"Who is our brother?
Commander...!"

Come, let's go

Not you

Come

Hey!

Throw him out

Who is that?

Professor

'Bro, get up
Come...come'

Hurry up

'Hey driver, don't stop the bus'

Go...go...keep going

'Don't stop, keep moving'

[amused chuckle]

'Stop...stop'

'Stop, man'

'Let's get off
Come soon'

'They got down from the bus and ran'

Thank god he came in his bike

- It wasn't him
- Sorry, sir, he came

Sir, come

'In all this confusion
they ran into the Metro station'

Give me the token

Come fast

'Get in, quick'

It's really good.

I never got a chance to take a Metro train
from when it started operating

Thanks, boys

Hey...!

I plan to stab a master here

Brave hearts, continue the ride

Fainthearted, alight

Girls...girls

I'll collect it later

'If you move a bit,
I can go there and watch'

Thanks, sir

[smug chuckle]

What?

How are college students and
'dhoti' clad politicians connected?

Airport is close by

Catch an auto or something and go

Don't wait here
Hurry up

They rushed out and
got into a share auto

Turned out to be our friend
brother Jameel's auto, I got in too

'Easy-peasy that's where they got caught'

- Escape to Canada, right?
- Yes, sir

'Friends encircled and took them
to the police station, right?'

Yes, sir

So you were responsible
for everything

- Yes, sir
- JD had nothing to do with this?

We swear, nothing at all, sir

'Sir'

Those 2 boys swear
your teacher JD was behind this

- These students are lying
- Of course I know, sir

JD is the culprit

- Who is JD?
- 'He is playing up with their support'

- I'll tell you, long story
- 'One day he'll get caught'

'That will be his doomsday'

Minister has arrived

If you are ready, we can
escort him to the auditorium

Come...come

Sir, you please sit

- I'll be back in 10 minutes
- I'll wait

- Serve him tea
- Carry on

2 minutes, sir
I'll be right back

Not picking your call, huh?

It's ringing but he isn't picking

Same-same when student
and now as master also?

Shut up, da
Vanathi, didn't you try?

I asked the students

- What did they say?
- He has been suspended

If you had told us earlier, we could
have gone in person and brought him

He must be very busy, try again

'We relish the 'rajma' happil-'

[mobile ringing]

"Livin' up and sippin on beer"

"Yeah, clap for me, man, right here"

Uncle, he's our Principal
Anbiah Samuel

Welcome, sir
This is our vice principal

'Ramya?'

If that student is such a troublemaker

...why not just dismiss him?

Then he should have
got dismissed 20 years ago!

I don't get it

JD isn't a student, my dear

Professor!

- What?
- Dean of student affairs

'First of all
we welcome you all'

'Good morning one and all present here'

'Our honorable chief guest
Manavai R Gauthaman'

'Respected dignitaries on the dais'

'What happened?'

Sir, students are refusing
to come from the back stage

Hey!

It seems you said this function
won't go on without JD?

Then what, sir? We kept
telling you he is not to blame

'You've suspended him for 2 weeks'

Any other day it's fine, sir
This alumni meet is only for him

How can he not be here, sir?
Nothing will happen without him

Are you the human rights activist?

Just you wait!

Sir, the minister has been
waiting for a long time

- Please bear with us
- He cancelled so many appointments

- Start the program
- I'll talk to them and join you

Om Shanti! Om Shanti!
Peace in speech and spirit

- Call JD
- You suspended him and asking me to call?

- You call him
- I don't know his number

Call him, dude

Call before he changes his mind

[humming a song]

[mobile ringing]

"Livin' up and sippin on beer"

Hello...huh...JD

This is Principal...Samuel here

JD sir is fast asleep

Call later

Principal Anbiah Samuel

Anbu, your name can mean love but
he won't get up to hear your loving words

- Guzzled down 3 or 4 bottles
- 'Can you wake him up or not?'

Huh...? No chance, love

Hey!

He's drunk

What can I do?

Will you ask your Education Minister
to wait for half an hour?

We'll go and get him

- What?
- Do it

- What, da?
- Not budging an inch

Is this how you drum-roll?

Getting paid right?
Bump it, fellows

Rock & roll, man

This is it
This is what we want

Ready, da
Come on, da

"Master is coming, move aside"

Hey stop...stop

Lift him

Heave-ho!

Speed up!!

- Sir, good morning
- Good morning

Tea, sir

"The moment our bro steps in
it's like an atom bomb exploding"

- Did they really invite me?
- Sir, why this doubt?

'I swear they asked you to come'

Bro, beat the drum

"Master coming!"

'Move aside!'

'Rock & roll!'

"Deliberately if you make trouble"

"It will boomerang on you centuple"

"If you jeer or sneer at us"

"Mind you, you'll be limbless"

'Zazzorific!'

Aiyo!

"Tell topsy turvy
Yell curvy scurvy"

"Rock & roll
Heart & soul"

"Split their ears, no matter
Scare them to scatter"

'Move aside'

Aiyo!

"The second our bro steps in
it's like an atom bomb exploding"

"Hit the drum harder
Scare them to scatter"

"Master, coming"

Bent double, sir?

- Where is the ID card?
- I have it, sir

- First wear it and go inside
- Done

'We are all soaked in celebration mode'

Let's go

Hey, JD, come.

- 'Sit with us, JD'
- Is he a professor?

Suspended professor

'What is his name?'

'JD'

Start the program

Sir, 1 minute
Let me speak

Sir-

'Wait, child'

- JD
-'I've attended many college functions'

- Wear your ID card
- 'Witnessed many gatherings'

'But I've never seen a crowd like this'

Because the entire crowd here

More than the anchor of the show

'They are celebrating
the man seated below'

'It is no mean achievement'

'If he is getting this kind of
reception among students'

'Then he must be a dedicated
and focused professor'

'If he himself is like this...'

- 'Imagine his students'
- Why try all these gimmicks?

'Must be good as gold'

'First give this man
a big round of applause'

To get a professor like him

You and your college
must be truly blessed

Your eyes are red
Wear this shade

'This most revered master'

'I would like him to come up
to the dais and say a few words'

'I am calling you, sir'

Please come

Come up and speak

Hey...! Where are you going?

Wait, let me tell a mini story

Did you look at your shoes?

Instead of being humiliated, sit down

If you get up once more-D

Please take your seat

JD is our-

Management and staff
are completely against JD

But students celebrate him

I don't get this

He has gone out of his way
for students' welfare

Students revere him as their true hero

Reason enough for
the management to dislike him

Secondly after 6:00 p.m
our hero will be totally sloshed!

[indistinct]

Good morning, sir

Careful, sir

t- Sorry...sorry
- It's okay

Hi...hi

Your classroom is at that end

Oh! Good morning

'What is his flashback sob story
to get sloshed every day?'

Don't ask him that alone

If he gets a gullible idiot, he'll reel off
a Mani Ratnam classic as his own!

Fell head over heels, chased her
in the college, bus, everywhere

She also reciprocated and one day
we were happily sitting in a coffee shop

Her father walked in!

- Aiyo! Did you get caught?
- Wait, sister

Her father's name

Mr Chandramouli!

We were both neighbors
in Rainbow Colony

I was in 8G
She was in 7G

India is here

America is right here

I took my guitar and left, my love for
Anjalai was as strong as 1000 elephants!

We climbed up straight to
the top of the mountain

We decided to jump
counting 1 to 5

My bad luck, I got stuck
in a tree and escaped death

What, da?

Her head hit a boulder and she died

- That's a Kamal classic...don't bug me
- Hey...listen

Too much filmy imagination

Okay, which department is he in?

He studied in this same college
He finished M.Phil Psychology here

'Now he teaches
Personality Development'

May I request you all to please stand up?

I said...stand...up

Now I intend checking
if your mind and body are focused

We are hearing

But not listening

Students don't listen to their teachers
Teachers don't listen to their students

Now

RUN

Run...run...run

WATER!

Electricity...!

Children don't listen to their parents
Parents don't listen to their children

And finally

The ____ doesn't listen to the people!

Whatever I tell you now
repeat it verbatim

But

Do just the opposite

Jump in

Jump left

Jump right
Dai...dai...!

Now on the starboard

Faster...faster...faster

Now close your bloody eyes and freeze

Class disperse

Getting late for my class

- We'll meet at lunch
- Okay, sure

'Let me repeat this'

That bloody Bhavani is
responsible for all this

He finished off his opponents contesting
in our Union election one by one

I know his history A to Z

Gurumurthy, whether these people
understand it or not, hope you do

I have been saying this
right from the beginning

Who endorsed my view?

With the help of juveniles
he is into all criminal activities

Has the cat got your tongue?!

- Tell them
- Yov! We know this alread-

Hello, brother

Damn you!

Are you such a big shot, huh?

If you kill him, will you get his post?

- Let me see
- No, bro

Why are you so mad at me?
I'm like a brother to you

Whatever it is
let's talk it over

Any need for me to talk to you?

I'll close your chapter!

Get the car ready

Bro, will a problem
be solved if we fight?

Will murder solve the problem?
Let's discuss it amicably

I'll use the same juvenile delinquents
you use as tool to finish you off!

Want to wait and watch?

I'm like one of them
You watched me grow

- Wait, bro
- You peed in your pants scared of me

You think you're my equal now?

Whatever it is, let's talk it over

I am much younger than you
But pay heed to my words

Don't go, br-

'Oh my God!'

Gone, brother?

Catch that lorry driver

So sad

You were eye witnesses

What did I do?

If I had walked out talking to him
I would've shared his fate

Impossible for a human
to time this so perfectly

I pray to all Gods thrice daily

So God has saved me
and punished him

'He was a good soul!'

To conduct Students' election
in our college this year

University Grants Commission has granted
permission, but I opposed it strictly

That's why for a mere formality
I need all your opinions

Why we don't want election

For the records

I somehow feel it is unnecessary, sir

'Semester is fast approaching'

'In the current scenario
why do we need an election?'

'Sir, if this is happening
some other issues will create'

r- I don't think they are fit for elections
- Exactly

'In my honest opinion, no'

'I have no issues with
the day college students'

'I am a little apprehensive
about the evening batch'

Thanks, Ramya

Charulatha, your opinion?

It's only been 2 weeks
since I joined, sir

So if I voice my opinion
I don't know if it will be right

Come on, what's there?

- No, sir
- Hey!

- Why is JD sir keeping quiet?
- That's right?

- He'll wait to get a good point
- 'I don't think election is a good idea'

Sir, to be on the safe side
ask JD his opinion

'JD, tell us your opinion'

What is your opinion, JD?

- What day was yesterday?
- Thursday

Thursday is his day off, da

- 'Professor JD'
- He would have been piss drunk

- Come...come
- Hey! Careful

JD...?

SIR!

Emergency, sir

What are you doing here?

Let me give this phone to Rosie madam

Her husband fell off his bike

'What the hell are you doing?'

I will expel you

- Let her just talk to him
- What happened, Abdul?

'Wake up, sir'

Don't switch off your phone

Talk to him

- Poor husband
- 1 minute, sir

They are objecting to elections
Support us, sir

- Sorry, sir
- Get out

- Useless fellow!
- Thank you, sir

JD, what is your opinion
about conducting elections?

Election is essential, that's all

- I thought as much
- 'He will say something meaningless, sir'

If we announce a students' election
all of them will be thinking of only that

Not one of them will study
nor will anyone attend any class

Correct, what will they learn
by conducting students' election?

Why encourage politics in college?

Matthew sir

What is 'politics', sir?

Sir, I don't wish to talk to you

Is that so?
But I wish to speak

I'm coming

Sir

First a student should know
'politics' means service

Only if our students learn about election,
canvassing, leadership in college

...they will have an awareness about
state, central elections for the future

College students are our first time voters

Only if (s)he is allowed to think

A new leader will emerge
for the next generation

To mould as a good leader
or to choose the right leader

...they will acquire
both tact and discretion

For someone to-

They will stick posters all over
and spoil the walls with graffiti

Then claim ownership
over the walls and fight

Doesn't all this happen
in normal elections?

Sit down, sir

Aren't these normal issues
that crop up in general elections?

So can we decide to
abolish elections in our country?

We have grown up with this culture of
poster, banner, fanfare, still follow it

If students should know
the do's and don'ts of poster etc

...we must conduct
elections in college

Only then he will be
a good example outside

'If our culture of bribing with 'biriyani'
booze and big bucks should change'

...students should know
the ins and outs of politics

Okay

Let's assume what you're saying is right

Who is responsible if students resort
to violence or damage college property?

Sir, nothing of that sort will happen

If you are proved wrong
will you leave this college?

Will you resign, huh?

We'll see if it happens

Then you be the presiding officer

And conduct this election

If any problem crops up

Sign an affidavit
you will leave this college

Coming June 25th
Students' elections

[loud cheering]

I haven't seen him conduct
an election as a master

'But I've seen him
do the same as a student'

Pccht!

Shake your hands

This is the wall of democracy

Your rules & regulations

'Gym facilities free for all students'

'Meat will be served for all in the hostel'

'Good orators have become able leaders'

You should speak up more boldly, Savi

'Instead of finding faults
with your rival and campaigning'

'...ask for votes
listing your reforms'

Tear every single poster, dude

Posters and banners should be stuck
or erected in their allocated places

'Even if there's a small brawl
among the students'

'...election will be canceled'

You pull back and fire

Cheers!

'Our total strength is 5500 students, sir'

We have divided them into 10 categories

What is this column?

That is religion & caste category

Let's avoid that

Only if we delete it here

It won't tag along with us terribly

Hey! How much longer do you intend
drinking like this and roaming around?

Why yell at me
for no reason?

Will I yell at you
if you are steady on your feet?

- I am sober
- Is that so?

Hit an arrow
anywhere on this board

I'll agree you are
sober and steady

Machi, aim for the bull's eye

Rs 1 lakh to students
in each department

Cheers!

'I have a fair amount of
experience in counselling'

If you can tell me the reason
I can do my level best to help you

Earlier on...when I was jobless

I was hanging around
in a tiles company in Rajasthan

- Oh!
- At that time

A girl lost her bag in the train

I found it and sent it to her

She liked me for the effort I took

She and I became pen pals and
we built a 'Fort of love' just for us

Then when she knew
I was in Rajasthan

For my sake that girl
took extra pains

Embroidered, knitted
a sweater and sent it to me

Sweater in Rajasthan!

True that?

'Tomorrow if you have a problem
and you come to me'

'Even if it's midnight
I'll be there for you'

Why should we create problems
and end up in the police station?

Beverages free in the canteen

Aqua training access free

You will have campus interviews
You'll leave the college with a job in hand

Above all give this serious thought

Do you want to be ruled by a girl?

Or revel in a boy's leadership?

Hey! That isn't even my glass

Some other chap has relished
a drink and gone, madcap!

How dare you!

'JD' please

'The third round of votes
have been counted...'

'We have started counting
for the fourth round...'

Sir...?

'4th round, sir'

Results are due any moment

I'm scared, sir

Are you Satyaraj acting
as Amavasai in 'Amaidhi Padai'?

4th round it seems

Pah!

'Most awaiting election results
are going to be declared very soon'

'Fourth and final election results
are going to be declared'

Bhargav 2588 votes

'Savitha 2648 votes'

'Savitha won the election by 60 votes'

[loud cheering]

Congratulations, chairperson

Sir, I think they have already
started creating a ruckus there

Sir, what do we do now?

Why do you still ask me?
She's the captain of your ship

Chairman, tell us what to do?

'Sir'

To avoid all these unnecessary confusion
I'm thinking of talking to Bhargav directly

Look at that!

By all means go and talk

But go alone

Madam

Don't dilly-dally, scratch your head,
crack your knuckles and keep looking back

Don't dawdle and
do 'instalment' walk

Forward march!

Sir, will you give me your bracelet?

Why?

Please give, sir

'Dude, play that song'

"Look! We must lead a life like that bird
Without a care in the world"

"We should go on a dancing spree
like the waves here in glee"

"Under the same sky spacious
On the same land so precious"

"Under the same sky endless
On our Motherland peerless"

"Let's sing in unity our song
of what is our right all along"

I want to talk to you

If she comes offering a truce
I'll break the bones on her face

[song from 'Aayirathil Oruvan']

- Bro, tell me
- 'What happened?'

Your son lost, bro

What?

Bhargav...er-

I came to congratulate

Winning by just 60 votes
is no big victory at all

Er...is there any rule in college
there should be only 1 chairman?

You take over day college
and I'll handle evening college

Okay, bye

Congrats

I extended my hand
even on nomination day

You didn't want to shake hands

At least let it be truce now?

I don't think it's safe
for her to go alone

Shall I go and check, sir?

'Let's shake hands'

- Okay
- How ridiculous

He has patched up happily

'He is shaking hands
with that girl who won'

'Let me talk to him'

1 minute, bro

'Bhargav brother'

Dad, there's no problem
I spoke to that girl

She even asked me to be
the chairman for Day college, pa

'You got a sudden desire to
beg a post from her, huh?'

It isn't what you think, pa
I'll come in person and explain to you

- Bro
- 'Pack him home in our car now'

Okay, bro

'If he refuses to go, threaten him'

- 'Rough up that female who defeated him'
- I'll handle it

I'll explain to my dad
Please don't create a ruckus

He has given me permission
to scar even your face, bro

First get inside

But please don't hurt that girl

Sir, he wasn't nasty to me

I shook hands and he said okay

That's all

Celebrations are done

Hey! Catch

Wear these IDS

- Where's the booth?
- 1st floor, bro

'Hurry up'

Clear up all this mess
and then rock & roll

Sir, evening college students are
planning to burn down the booth

- Who is he?
- Professor, bro

- What, da?
- That wasn't a proper election

- We demand re-election or re-counting
- Election is over, that's all

- Burn down the booth
- Which department are you?

- Come here
- Stop this bloody idle talk

I'll kill you, son of a gun
I'll break all your teeth!

- Sri, quiet!
- 'Give that bottle'

- Wait
- Sir...!

- Sir, let go
- 'Shut up, all of you'

I'm trying to make peace-

Sir
Move aside

Evening college chairman candidate
Bhargav wants to talk to you, sir

'My dad didn't listen to me'

He has sent 50-60 Party riff-raffs
to bash up everyone in college

'They have merged with the students
Ensure our college students are safe, sir'

On the starboard!

- 'Why are all of them spinning?
- What are they doing?'

Now close your bloody eyes and freeze

'What is this?
Tell us, bro'

'Sticking to the wall like glue?'

Move forward

'They are doing just the opposite'

'Wait, don't go'

Send all the girls home safe

- Sir?
- Just do as I say

Hey! Take all of them
through the back door

Go...go...fast

'Go now'

SAVITHA, YOU GO!

Hey! That's the girl

'Grab her'

Savitha

Hey...hey!

Hey!

Are you okay?

Go in...quick

Sir, students are all out of control

Let me go

- Take your hands off
- Sir...sir

TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF!

How dare you manhandle girls!

Master...!

Nothing major, just a nail scratch

Dai! Meeting is being held in the library

Is everyone safe, da?

'I have checked all the groups'

They have texted me

The entire riot has been recorded
in our college CCTV cameras

Is he behaving like a professor?

Excuse me, ma'am, you are
talking about damage of property

Rowdies got together and
bashed up 4-5 of our girls

What could all the teachers do?

- No one came to stop them
- Stop it, Charu

It isn't even 1 month
since you joined this college

Just keep quiet

What the hell are they discussing?

I'll be back

I'll talk to JD

Then we will take a call

If he intends coming back
we are resigning, sir

'WTH is this meeting in aid of?'

Sir, I have already given
a commitment I'll resign

I'm just leaving this college

JD, just wait in the car

- 'I need to talk to you'
- Sir...?

I said 'wait'

'I understand'

If they need to know your worth

A gap is essential

Your decision is correct

You wanted a break for 3 months?

I have okayed it

When did I ask?

Isn't this your signature?

Sir

Carbon copy, sir

Oh! Come on, JD

Haven't you opted for a break
of 3 months, intending to teach?

Teach? In which college?

College?

As you have mentioned
Observation Home

Sir, don't play the fool

What will I do there?

I didn't sign this

Maybe after 6:00 p.m?

After 6:00 p.m

Good chance

See

JD, you're losing control on yourself

If there's any issue in the election
didn't you agree to resign your job?

That means you have
something on your mind

Fine, sir, I'll go

Well...I have many 'well' wishers here

This must be their handiwork

It's okay, I need a change too, I'll go

'Inspector is waiting in your lodge
to explain the job you'll be undertaking'

'That means'

- Needhimani
- Bro?

You didn't pass on any information?

No, bro

Then whatever lawyer sir
and I spoke in the union office

- How did the police get to hear?
- That's what puzzles me, bro

You know this music director Anirudh?

He has composed a new film song

Shall we listen?

- Listen
- 'Bro'

'Bhavani has fixed the date
You are his next target'

'He has decided to kill you too
by framing it on those boys'

What do you say, bigamist?

At least is this your voice
or will you claim its mimicry?

- Bro
- Did you call me, Bhavani?

Make sure the boys are supplied
their regular dose of drinks and drugs

Whether they get
3 square meals a day or not

Booze and dope should flow steadily

Okay, Bhavani
I'll see to it

Where was I?

You got me married and how
can you make my wife a widow?

- Tell me, bro
- Wait

I'm choking with emotion
hearing your sentimental speech

Why are you jerking?

I had tucked the knife in my waist
What if it pierces me in the wrong place?

- Not that
- Suppose an enemy kills us

Doesn't matter if they say
'that's how Bhavani died a noble death'

If they say, 'he had tucked a knife
that stabbed him in a wrong spot'

Does that sound good?

- No
- No, right?

Won't sound good

- Lean back comfortably
- Don't, bro

- Is that a show of respect?
- Yes, bro

How is it over the phone
all this 'bro' kinship is missing?

What is this?

- Lean back
- No, bro

Won't you comply with
your bro's death wish for you?

Lean back...sit...sit...sit!

LEAN BACK!

Dai Gopal!

- Hey
- 'Yes, bro'

Tell me, bro

Ask Das to pick 2 boys
10-15 years old to surrender

- Okay, bro
- Go

Bro...?

A new master has been recruited
for our reformatory it seems

- Okay...so?
- I don't know if you know

I thought I should inform you

A teacher is bound to be appointed

All of you are giving a build up
as if it is Breaking News!

Dispose this body and
ask someone to drive this truck

Okay, bro

"Creep like a lioness, make no sound"

"Slide like a snake, over sun baked ground"

[song 'Rise Up']

Sir, can we switch off that cacophony!

Then shall I wear my coolers?!

"Twist like a hurricane, bend and sway"

"Break like a wave, wash the filth away"

Sir, college students are bound by
certain protocols of parents and society

But those boys there
lack all that discipline

Their age and their activities
have no connection whatsoever

'Not even a single inmate
is human or humane'

'Beasts'

'Demons'

'Kabaddi'

'They know our law is lenient
to their habitual crimes'

'They use it to their advantage
breaking laws as reckless criminals'

'That's why, I'm telling you, sir'

Don't bend backwards to reform them
in those 3 months you are assigned there

Aren't you wondering
whether to go there or not?

'Sir...?'

'Sir...!'

'Is our hero in dream world?'

Sir, check if that's your phone?

Bro...bro

'Wake up, bro'

Not mine

Oh! Brother's phone

That's no problem, sir
I don't mind going

- I can handle them
- Sir

So have you decided you're going?

Here

Das...?

That teacher will be here tomorrow

Despite knowing about this place

...if he is ready to set foot here

Don't underestimate him

First let him land up

After he steps in here

Let's see if he lasts here
even for half an hour

You should be in there by 10'o clock

If you freshen up
I can take you in my car

In that vehicle?

- Yes
- Okay, you go

- I'll take you safe-
- I'll shower and come

Okay, bro

Life is a pain, hmmm?

3 months

If he comes in and
starts taking a lesson

...ask all of them
to fling these at him

Das

"Ooooh yeah
You know who it is!"

"If I'm doin' somethin"

"Boy...I like to do it well"

"And when I'm in the zone"

"Ain't nobody stoppin' me"

"You know who it is"

Das, look at his stride and beard!
Doesn't look like a master

Doesn't carry a book or a cane

He looks so local
Rough & tough

We'll provoke him and then pounce

"Master"

"They call me...master"

"You know me...master"

"I'm master the blaster"

"Master"

"They call me...master"

"You know me...master"

"I'm master the blaster"

"If you step foot in our place
it is trespassing into our space"

"We will hassle you to the root
Master, change your route"

"As juveniles we roam
in this Observation Home"

"Tears in our eyes ready
if you ask us to study"

"Don't take lessons in life
Or ask us to drop our knife"

"Your lame advice is of no use
We don't want your views"

"Sir, don't take lessons in life-"

Why did you stop singing?
It was such a peppy song

Wow!

Song...sketch

Looks like a bunch of talented boys

Not bad at all

Are you setting out to play?

Why?
What's wrong?

I don't interfere in the likes
or dislikes of anyone, boss

Whoever wants to play, go ahead
Want to sit here, be my guest

'I am allergic to the sun
I'll sit right here'

Should I teach now?

- No...no
- We want to play

Very good

- 'I must catch up on Amazon, Netflix'
- Shall we give the letter now, brother?

'I hate the sight of
this classroom, bench'

- 'I will throw all this out'
- Not now, I'll tell you

Don't indulge in all this graffiti
on the board, bathroom walls

You focus on your work
and I'll stick to my job

Deal?

We thought of chasing you away
if you started lessons today

You are unique, master

He seems to be one of us

Turned out I'm quite jobless

Why waste time sitting?

Why is this place so dirty
and stinking to high heaven?

We celebrate 10 festivals a year
and 20 birthdays of leaders

You don't clean up this place
and celebrate on any occasion?

'Celebrate' means?

That means-

Have a blast, huh?

Right

Rock on

We have no idea of day or date
You and your ideas!

So simple

Some of you were singing
when I entered, right?

- Who were they?
- I sang

What the four of you just sang

If 40 of you sing in chorus

That's celebration

Come with me
I'll show you

Beat it

"Let me sing a 'kutti' story
Pay attention, listen to me"

Why singing in English, bro?

Just listen, bro

"Let me sing a short story
Pay attention, listen to me"

"If you want, take it or else
no need tension, leave it, baby"

"Life is very short, buddy
Always be happy"

"100s of problems will come & go"

"Chill a bit, bro"

Together, man

"Let me sing a mini story
Pay attention, listen to me"

"If you want, take it or else
no tension, leave it, baby"

"Life is very short, 'nanba'
Always be happy"

"Problems in many designs will come and go"

"Chillax and relax, bro"

No tension, baby

"If you race at a zip zap zoom speed
concentration is a must indeed"

"If you crawl at a slow pace
to be steady is a must always"

"Oh! Anger always misery, baby"

"Stand united as friends, powerful, buddy"

"Haters are gonna hate but ignore calmly"

"Delete negativity totally, baby"

"Focus on what you dream
and don't worry, mApi"

"Positivity will lift you, baby"

"Life is very short, buddy
Always be happy"

"Very many problems will come and go
Don't be tense, chill a bit, bro"

Students

"Let me sing a 'kutti' story
Pay attention, listen to me"

"If you want, take it or else
no need tension, leave it, baby"

"Life is very short, buddy
Always be happy"

"Problems in many a hue will come and go"

"Take a break, bro"

No tension, baby

"Hard work too is necessary
Smart work also is compulsory"

"Self motivation
Isn't it your reflection?"

"You need education
Plus total dedication"

"Try self evaluation
for validation"

"Don't be the person spreading hatred, mApi"

"To talk behind one's back is so crappy"

"Always be polite and just don't be nasty"

"You be the reason to make someone happy"

"Life is very short, buddy
Always be happy"

"Many problems will come and go
Put your feet up, bro"

One last time

"Let me sing a 'kutti' story
Pay attention, listen to me"

"If you want, take it or else
no need tension, leave it, baby"

"Life is very short, buddy
Always be happy"

"Problems in many designs will come and go"

"Breathe a bit easy, bro"

"That was my 'kutti' story"

"How was my short story"

"That was my Lilliput story"

"How was my 'kutti' story?"

Go...go...go

Master

'He's asleep, da?'

Quick, wake him up

Sir

Sir

Sir?

- Put the letter in his pocket
- He is sleeping, bro

Just do it

Hey!

Who is that tickling me?

I can hear footsteps, we'll talk
to him over the phone tonight

Come away

We shouldn't get caught

Thank God, only another 89 days left

Go home

Hello, stop

I noticed just now

Don't know who played this prank
Why are you riding a cycle?

I can drop you in my car

That's alright
I can manag-

I was hoping at least
you will bring about a change

Why? It's all going smooth

The boys are having fun

We are submerged in problems

Half the boys are drowning
in a sea of drugs

Whatever they get
they readily use as weapons

Everyday some boy or the other
twists his arm or ankle

Why tell me all these tales?
Am I the police or what?

I'm just a teacher here

Sir, you don't understand

The police will nab the criminals
Court will punish them

To guide these boys

To sift and sieve right from wrong

We are not equipped, sir
They need a master like you

First understand this is
a reformatory for juvenile delinquents

'The boys have got into a fist-fight, sir'

'I am unable to control them
Whoever is out there, come in, sir'

Yov! Wait, man
I am coming in now

First close A block and
ensure outsiders don't enter

He isn't picking the phone, da

'What happened, bro?'

'I tried 10-15 times
He isn't picking my call'

'Try again, bro'

'He isn't picking our call'

'Do you remember sister Charu's number?'

'Call her, bro'

'Hurry up'

Manikandan speaking, sister
You saw me in the Observation Home

Someone is coming

- Switch off the phone
- 'Hello...hello?'

'Can you hear me, Mani?'

Go, brother

Enjoy the 'biriyani'

'Brother...?'

- We don't want
- Why?

Not hungry

Is that so?

He asked you to eat, right?

Half baked nutcase!

How much we have suffered,
starving in this same spot, moron

Get me some water

Bro, I'm scared-

Lucky to get a leg piece in a 'biriyani'

You can even kill someone

But not rob him of food

Go on, eat

Water

Enough

They took my phone though
they knew very well it was mine

Whom did you call?

No one, bro

Don't know

Tell me the truth

I don't know, bro

Ma...master, bro

Who?

The master who joined duty

- Master, huh?
- He's a boozer, bro

You don't have to take him
seriously at all, bro

Why, 'master'?

My father died
when I was a kid

Couldn't bear the hunger
I stole and got caught

They piled cases on me

And sent me to this
Ju...Juvenile Home, bro

We are being released tomorrow

But he is asking me to surrender
for a murder case, bro

If my mother gets to know this
she will die of shock, bro

If you had called me
instead of calling that master

I'm emotional by nature you see

I would have assigned
someone else to surrender

Not wanting to surrender
isn't a mistake on your part

But you wanted to sneak
our internal information

Isn't that a grave mistake?

Grown-up boy, you tell me
What you did was wrong or not?

- Yes, it was wrong
- So I am right?

Enough of eating 'biriyani'

I'll take it
You've had enough

Here, take this

Aren't we both very young, bro?

Think of us as your younger brother
and please forgive us this time

My dear, only boys like you
should not be pardoned

They pardoned me
Look how it has shaped me

How do we deal with this?

We won't repeat this, bro
We won't snitch to anyone

Listen, you can be scared
of anyone in this world

But if death knocks at our door

...even if it is Lord Yama
you shouldn't be scared

I'll give you 2 minutes

Kill me and then save
your brother and yourself

What were you doing
when these kids stole your phone?

On top of it you have
this stuck up attitude!

- Go away
- I won't leave you

Listen to me
Just run away

- Run outside
- I won't go

Mess up all my orders
Only plus is your voice!

I won't go

You have only 1 minute left

Decide fast

Go away from here

I won't leave you alone

'What are you doing?'

'Don't, bro'

This is what I expected from you!

Clear out

I won't leave you

Brother...!

Wake up, bro
Get up

I'm constable Arumugam
Get up, bro

School starts only at 10'o clock
Why are you waking me-

We have a problem on hand
Inspector wants to see you

Why should I meet the inspector?

You have to get up now
Not realizing the gravity of the situ-

Okay, I'll get up

Don't shake me up like a rattle!

Go, I'll follow

'I will come'

"You say you heard a rumor"

"And it's time I let you know"

Start...make it quick

"You won't need, won't need no ruler"

"If delinquents like us lament in pain
will our voice be heard; or is it in vain?"

'Not too sure, sir'

'I think they were here
for less than a year'

"2 innocent boys here
Lost their lives so dear"

'I am in the crime spot, sir'

"To reside here or hang by a rope
One and the same without hope"

'What are you gawking at, huh?'

Yov! Who are you?

- Get out
- Sir...sir

He is our class master

Oh! You are that master, huh?
First I have to interrogate you

What did you do?

This has never happened before

Did you hit any of the boys?

Tell me

Can't you hear me?
Answer, man

Sir, what is this?

Not here, I need to
take him for inquiry

'Get him into our police jeep'

'Search all the rooms in case
they left any suicide note'

"We want to reform given a choice
We are good-for-nothing boys"

"If delinquents like us lament in pain
will our voice be heard; or is it in vain?"

"If good-for-nothing louts wail
will our voice make justice prevail?"

'N2 Police Station
Vadaseri'

Bhavani, can we come with you?

He has asked me to come
by myself, I can handle it

What about...that master
who is in police custody?

I came out of the reformatory 15 years ago

Reason I've been patient
for the past 5 years

I wanted to kill these 3 men and
become the president of the Drivers' union

2 men are dead and gone
This is the last one to go down

He has sent for me

Is he my priority?

Or is this master important?

He's only important

- What shall we do with this master?
- I'll handle him

- Sure?
- No problem

- Shall I go now?
- I'll go

Let's go

Come with me

Where are you going?

- 2 minutes, sir
- Quick, sir will be here anytime

'Are you the mother of
those 2 boys who died?'

- 'Yes, sir
- Is that so?'

'Give him all the details'

Boozed upto your brow, huh?

- 'Sit outside
- Okay, sir'

If someone is calling you
10 times from the same number

...won't it occur to you
it may be a serious problem?

No, Ch...Charu

Why are you staring so blankly?

I was a volunteer in an NGO
before I took up this post here

Based on a complaint I went
for inspection to that Observation Home

That's how I befriended those 2 boys

They told me about the injustice
in that reformatory

But I couldn't take
any legal action

So many vile threats

The only reason I shifted to Chennai
was to handle such cases myself

I needed to be financially secure
So I took up this lecturer's post

When you defended the students
my faith was recharged

I was convinced this flawed system
could be changed for the better

I forged your signature for this post

Even for your job
I was the one who applied

Even the founder is aware of this

Now I feel that was a big mistake

If you hadn't come here
at least those 2 boys would be alive

Now both of them have left us

How can you defend yourself, sir?

See, I had no idea whatsoever
No one told me anything

When have you been
sober enough to understand?

Have you ever realized anytime
who is talking to you?

I have my share of personal problems

I am unable to come out of it

I can't

...cry

I can't cry, I can't sleep
at night either, that's why

I drink

I swear I never thought
it would be this horrific

Oh! You can never cry, right?

'I can't understand
'Tell me without crying'

Charu, where are yo-

- Were your boys into drugs?
- I never thought I would see them dead

This is the lady who gave birth
to those boys who are dead now

I had reassured her

A master will come

'He will save your boys'

Both my sons are very fond of each other
They stick together like glue

My eldest told me
just last week

'Let my younger brother study
I'll find some job to support us'

'A master was coming he said'

He was sure they will be rescued

But no one came

'My entire lineage has snapped'

Yov! Where are you?

Hurry up

'Listen to him'

Bring your wife

- Yov! Come here
- You can go

'He has gone back to his old ways'

- Sir
- Who are they?

She is that master's colleague it seems

Pack them all off and
move that master to the cell

Okay, sir

Yov! Clear the other cases
out of the station

Okay, sir

'What will I do now?'

'How will I live without them?'

'Even now you're so hard hearted?'

Your eyes won't shed tears
till the day you die

Get even more sloshed

'Why are you lamenting here?
Shut up now'

I said shut up

Do I have to repeat myself?
Clear this place now, madam

Clear out

Come with me, sir

I swear-

Come along, sir
Standing rooted to the spot

I swear I didn't expect any of this

Don't forget you are also responsible
for the death of those 2 boys

Convey my apologies to their mother

You are taking undue advantage
of the respect I'm giving you

Don't make me lose my temper
Stand right there

I sacrificed my children
in such an awful unjust way

'Hey! Come here'

Go inside

- 'You want a mosquito repellent!
- Don't hit, it hurts'

Listen, Bhavani

Only you and I are left to contest
the Lorry Drivers' Union election

I have to win unopposed

'Looks like it may rain'

Can we have tea
and then discuss?

[sniffles]

'Master, my name is Sabari'

'My elder brother is Manikandan'

'He stole from a bakery for my sake
because I was starving'

'But they foisted some other case
on us and brought us here'

'Everything is wrong here, master'

'They thrash us mercilessly'

'They stuff some powder into our mouths'

'Immediately even our teeth
start shivering, master'

'Don't know if it is day or night'

'We put up with all this
thinking it is for a short period'

'Now when we are
about to be released'

'...they want us to surrender
for some other murder case'

'Otherwise they are threatening
to kill our mother, master'

'Sister Charu assured us you will come
and be our savior, rescue us'

'Please save us, master'

'Our poor mother'

'She is all alone'

'Crying nonstop daily'

'I can't cry anymore, master'

'Please, brother
Rescue us from this hell'

'I am begging you, brother'

Go ahead

I told you, Bhavani

I want to win unopposed

I called you here
to arrive at a compromise

But still I can't trust you

You'll take any kind of cruel measure
using those juvenile delinquents

Should I step out of my house daily
with fear in every breath I exhale?

That is why-

Did you call me here
planning to kill me?

You-

You call someone
with a plan to kill him

Treat him royally like a guest
and offer him hot tea

You're the only man who
asked me for permission to kill

Instead you could have-

Putting you on a pedestal, I wanted to
fix an auspicious day to finish you off

I need my brain examined!

'Hey! Wait'

I'll give you 2 minutes

Kill me and then save
your men and yourself

'Hurry up'

Do you need an army
to bash up 1 man?

Open the door first

Hey, he is a master
Watch your blows

You have only 10 minutes

Come out without too much damage

Turn the other way

[indistinct]

Come, Murali

Switch it off and come

Even if you are reborn
pray I don't set eyes on you!

Don't, Bhavani

Wonder what their plan is!

Master, my boss has
given you a bus ticket

'Luxury bus
Air-condition sleeper'

Leave tonight, you'll reach
your hometown in the morning

Got it into your head?

'If you stubbornly refuse'

You saw the 2 boys
hanging from the roof?

You'll be next

I'm talking to you

Is that a love letter in your hand?

Sabari, Manikandan

[reading under his breath]

Refusing to surrender in the murder case
and ended up dead, those 2 tramps-

Sir, the noise is too loud

Ignore, we'll handle it

Sir, the noise is ear-splitting

- Go in and check
- Okay

'Stab him and rip him apart'

Sir?

They may kill that master
Please come here, sir

Yov Soundar!

Open the damn door

Soundar

- Tell me
- BHAVANI!

The master-

Who are you?

Who is behind this?
What is your motive?

Why do you use these innocent boys?
I don't know any of this

But I will find out

'Hiding behind these boys and
framing them, neck deep in crime'

I will catch those sissy fellows

I'll hunt high and low, find you
and stand right in front of you

I will-

I will make you answer
for the death of those 2 boys

Master

Whatever I'm about to say
is nothing new for you

Still I'll say it
and you listen

I'm waiting!

[confident laughter]

Wait, I say

I will meet you face to face

"He stands for powerful victory"

- "Who is he?
- Thalapathy...!"

'Das, I'm very scared'

'He is back again
Is there no one to save me?'

'Aiyaiyo!

"Don't spoil for a fight unnecessarily"

"If you give us hell foolhardily
a stone will split your skull speedily"

Master, you've been staring
at the rope for a long time?

Want to play on it as a swing?

What is that famous song of his?

Let me tell a 'kutti' story

Hey chee chee!
Not short, da

Sad story!

"Let me tell a sad story"

"Zip lip, or slip
Skip and trip"

"Chillax, master!"

"Take a deep breath, master"

Hey master!

"Cheers to your beers!"

'Youths to the youngest ones
are doped day and night, bro'

'When they are intoxicated
they are not in control of their senses'

'Both have plenty of
criminal cases against them'

'2 boys who died are sheer poison'

'Both must have died
when totally tanked, sir'

'They won't toe the line with
their parents or with our rules'

They are arrogant boys
who insist their word is law

'There are 10-12 year olds
with all kinds of diseases in here'

All dazed and doped

Who told you they were
good-for-nothing boys?

Both are 24 carat gold, sir

Both those boys who died

They called a girl I know
on the night they died

You mean Charu?

Yes, Charu

I know Charu and I know
who killed those 2 boys too

We have tried our level best

But we are unable to stop
the dope and booze supply

How can drugs enter the premises
without your knowledge, sir?

They have so many routes to supply, sir

Without the wardens' support

'...nothing can be brought in, sir'

As per our rule book, no violence on
our boys who are all below 18 here

Using that as an excuse
they will bring the roof down!

Presuming others' fears are their plus

...these are riff-raffs
who rule the roost

Poor chaps! Trapped for life
caught in Bhavani's web

Who is Bhavani?

Beast!

- Bhava...Bhavani?
- Don't know anyone by that name

Sir, don't simply keep asking questions

You got any other work,
carry on, okay?

See you, sir?

Let's go

'Teachers who came here earlier
to reform these boys'

...would have made a hasty retreat
thinking their family takes priority

But my story is completely different

I have no one to call my own, sir

'The day I saw those 2 boys
hang right in front of my eyes'

Their eyes bulging

Tongues sticking out

I died, sir

If you can help me

I will change this place and
bring order and fair play here

Whatever hardship comes my way
I don't care even if I lose my life

"My life's breath"

I have no problem, sir

If you stick to rules & regulations here,
even move heaven and earth legally

I will back you up 100%, sir

"High time I stop needing a high from you"

"Enough of (s)tumbling thanks to you!"

"Today my troubled times will heal anew"

"Enough of being sloshed night & day
Get it out of your system today"

"Enough of gifting yourself strife
Switch off this dizzying life"

"No more booze to give a kick
Quit now, double quick"

"Break the bottles, you surely should
Trash them for your own good"

"Enough of being drunk as a skunk
Get it out of your system as junk"

Forgive me, ma

"No more daily booze session
Quit this deadly addiction"

"Break this habit, begin life anew
Trash the bottles now, dude"

"Enough of this, night & day
Get it out of your system today"

"Enough of this dependence
Switch off without a fuss"

"Enough of being a slave to craving
Quit drinking; no more depraving"

"Break the bottles and the habit
Trash them for your own benefit"

You got me wrong, Bhavani

Ever since Gurumurthy died

...everyone is scared
to contest for that post

I've spoken to the district councilor

In another 10 days

...it will be announced
you won unopposed

Come here

Bro, she is the one
putting a spoke in the wheel

She registered the case it seems
Our boys sent her photo just now

What should we do with her?

Can't you handle a female?

As if you need a priest to choose
an auspicious time! Get lost!

Bhavani, even if someone else
occupies this post as union leader

Anyway whatever you say will be law
Then why aspire for this post?

Fear stemming out of murder is short lived

But fear derived from a post of power
and authority lasts a lifetime, right?

After this I'm entering politics

Don't know how many heads will roll
to make that dream come true

I don't get it, Bhavani

Our boys will shoulder the sin

"They call me master
Changes will happen faster"

Hey master!

- 'Looking tip-top like a new groom?
- Correct, man'

He looks different, right?

'Master is in a mood
to teach us a lesson'

Do you think he's married?

'If he was married'

And if his wife looks hot

Soooper, no?!??

All of you stand height-wise

Shorter ones in front

Taller ones in the back
Come on, fast

If you come clean shaven and yell
you think we'll get scared?

- 'Move on to your next job
- At least pretend to be scared'

Poor master!

Let me repeat

Fall in line
Stand height-wise

Master, don't judge a book by its cover
Instead of height try weight as a measure

This chap like a buffalo here

'Pickpocket case
Real pipsqueak'

But our little black ant
had the guts to kill

Cut above the rest
Then isn't he the heaviest?

What is your name?

You heard me?
What is your name?

Master, you can't lay a finger on us

Know that, right?

Sir, you can't lay a finger on the boys

Rules

'Don't hit them and
get caught unnecessarily'

'Like a new starched shirt,
sir is all stiff and spruced up'

"Master's raid beginning"

"A-Aa-E-Ee, A-B-C-D
This is our time, buddy"

"Come, brother, welcome"

It is wrong only if I bash up the boys?

Yes

"World famous local master
will bash up any lowlife gangster"

"His cane will speak loud and clear
To reform a rowdy, law will persevere"

"If you come in to commit a crime
Master's raid will give you a hard time"

"Master's raid
Pain postpaid"

"Don't buy trouble for a fee
Turn your back and flee"

Why are you hitting us?

As master, think you can
get away hitting us?

'We are also wardens here'

We told you not to hit the boys
So why are you caning us?

"Don't run over him and look the other way"

"Don't get into his bad books, stay away"

"Master's raid, no warranty
Pain 100% guarantee"

It hurts, sir
Please don't hit

Sir, I'm going to Sabarimala
I have taken the 48 days vow

Why? What happened to your devotion
when you were peddling drugs?

"He'll even the score and more
His blows blast fireworks encore"

"Who is the master?
Commander!"

"24 carat gold is he
Lion king royalty"

"Move aside
Watch his stride"

"Shut the gate tight"

- Name?
- Bharath

- Sibi
- Karuppusami

- Dhanus
- 'Udaya'

- 'Venkatesh
- Stephen'

'Pencil'

Inspection it seems
All of you line up to one side

"He will take law into his hand
When discipline fails to stand"

"Master's raid will be well planned"

"When he uses his soft voice
Obey his rules, dear boys"

"If you defy however slight
his cane will hug you tight"

"Don't create a ruckus
His warning smile is dangerous"

"Accept your mistake, bro
he will let you go"

Good boy!

"What was that noise, lad?
Your nose is bleeding bad"

"Wherever you hide, dude
master's eyes will find you"

"Listen to master's advice
you'll be wealthy and wise"

"If you act smart anymore
time to kneel on the floor"

"Don't stand and stare
Don't get caught again, beware"

"Hit him once, you are out cold
He will retaliate multifold"

"Don't turn a blind eye
to a crime on the roadside"

"Says 'Thirukkural' wisely
Don't chicken out and flee"

"My followers devotedly
Will be true wholeheartedly"

"Without discrimination
of caste, race, religion"

"Apple of our eye is our nation"

"We were patient till now; simply
But we will retaliate; world war 3"

"Continents will quake & quiver
Nonentities will shake & shiver"

"His entry spells power
Loud and clear"

"Who is he?
Thalapathy"

"24 carat gold is he
Lion king royalty"

"Move aside, dude
Beast mode"

'Master, my name is Sabari
My brother's name is Manikandan'

'My brother stole from
a bakery for my sake'

'But they foisted another case-'

'Bhavani, that master is
acting too big for his boots'

'He bashed up the wardens'

'He raided the premises and burnt
all the drugs, dopes and phones'

'What to do with him now?'

How did a master get to be so gutsy?

Find out who is backing him up

Let's get to work

"Don't stand and stare
Don't get caught again, beware"

"Hit him once, you are out cold
He will retaliate multifold"

"Won't turn a blind eye
to a crime on the roadside"

My dear angels!

Can you give us a hand?

"Without discrimination
of caste, race, religion"

Love, huh?

"Apple of our eye is our nation"

"We were patient till now; seriously
Reign of terror; world war 3"

"Continents will quake & quiver
Nonentities will shake & shiver"

"Master spells power"

Take your hands off

"24 carat gold is he
Lion king royalty"

"Move aside, dude
Beast mode"

Master, you had your way, eh?

You can trim my hair
or tonsure my head

Beware of my leader Undiyal
Try your tricks on him

'Undiyal, listen to me'

- Don't go there, go to your block
- Shut up, warden

- Vanakkam, boss
- Morning, bro

Who had the guts to
lay a finger on our hair?

Is there a rule on
the long and short of it?

Master, do you know the rules or not?

You are having a free hand
with everyone's heads

Master

Let go of me, master

You don't know whom
you're pitting your wits against

You will regret what you're doing

"Master's raid
Pain post paid"

"Don't get into strife
Run for your life"

"When he uses his soft voice"

Gawd! You're scaring me!

- Hey Dheena
- 'Sir'

Let it be a close cut

"Master raid"

"Don't run over him and look the other way"

"Don't get into his bad books, stay away"

"Master's raid
All crimes waylaid"

"Master's raid, da!"

"A-Aa-E-Ee, A-B-C-D
This is our time, buddy"

"Bro, good morning
Master's raid in full swing"

Next week will be
back to square one

You can come back
and scrub it again, okay?

Bye, sweetheart

I've never seen such bad
nicotine stains at so young an age, JD

Prise open their mouth
it's like a cigarette shop!

'I have collected cavity samples
from the 6 boys you mentioned'

- How long will it take?
- I'll let you know in 1 or 2 days

Thanks, Madhi

He left me with a half shaved
moustache and beard

Such a disgrace!

I feel like I am naked!

I'm so mad I feel like sta-

'I feel like stabbing him right now'

When you get your hands dirty
enemies will come and go

If we rage like a mad bull against every
single enemy, our life will be ruined

Handle him with patience

'Make him run in all 4 directions'

Don't let him sleep

- Torture him mentally
- Fine

- 'Hey-'
- I'll tackle him

[overlap of angry voices]

Hey! Come out

'Listen to me
I'm telling you boys'

'Listen to me'

'Wait, da'

- What happened?
- Sir, I don't know

They just started a brawl
and hit each other

Back door is open in A block
What to do now?

Go look for the key

Hurry up

Quick, man

Don't let anyone out
Lock them up in the class

- Okay, bro
- Give me the torch

'You'll get bashed up'

Get lost!

Hello, bro

- 'Yes, tell me'
- None of our boys are missing I hope

Bro, head count is correct 63

'Not one of them is missing'

'They came from outside for sure'

'Aiyo! It's burning!'

Aiyo!

You're hurting me

Aiyaiyo! Bala

'What happened to you?'

'You messed up my face, right?'

'Go, collect your mess'

'This is just the beginning, master'

'Hit them at least once, master'

Hey master! This is your fate
every single minute you are here

Don't think this is the end
There's more to come

We will escape from here tonight

Try to stop us if you can

'I was on my bike
sticking to the kerb side'

Whether he collided by mistake
or deliberately targeted me

'Only God knows'

'But his intention is to provoke you'

Only then you'll get angry and show
your fist power on a handful of boys

'They will use that as excuse
and pack you off from here'

'Don't act rashly on impulse'

Only his leg is fractured
Hand is intact, right?

[kabaddi-chatter]

Sorry, da

I couldn't do anything to help you

It's okay, forget it

What can you do?

My fear is those grown up boys are
waiting to pounce on us in kabaddi

And we have to play against
those beefy buffaloes it seems

In case we lose...

...we'll be 'alti'
this entire month

'Alti' means?

Being an errand boy

To be under their beck and call
Do all their dirty jobs like a slave

I'll anyway lose

'I am agreeable to being an 'alti'
but they insist I should play, master'

I snitched to you, right?

Using Kabaddi as an excuse
as if it's just a game

'...they plan to bash me up, master'

'Hey Undiyal...!'

Come, da

Look here

Look at me

'I am calling you...dai!'

Coming or shall I lift you
and bring you here to play?

More than the aches
from blows and kicks

Pain from fear hurts deeper!

Go with courage, da

Go and check what he's doing

Das, he is coming

Tell me, Madhi

You snitched about us
to the master, right?

- Face us now
- Hey!

I know very well, da

If Bala plays we will win for sure

So you got scared and
broke his hand, right?

Had he been here
would he have defeated us?

For sure then you would
have lost pathetically

Call whomever, how many ever boys
you want from here to play on your side

I'll call anyone I want but then
you can't go back on your word

Call, we won't send you back
without breaking all your teeth today!

MAAASTER!

"Clash of wills here"

"You are ready for your bier"

[song from 'Ghilli']

"Kabaddi...kabaddi...do hold your breath"

"Kabaddi...kabaddi...to show your strength"

- Tell me, Madhi
- 'I checked the results'

I am sure all 6 of them
are above 20 years of age

"Kabaddi...kabaddi...play"

"On your mark, get set full gear
Sandalwood paste smeared"

"One foot in the grave, no fear
You are ready for your bier"

What are you saying?

Not one of them is less than 18?

100% sure, in those 6 boys
no one is younger than 18

"On your mark, get set, ready"

"Bash them up deadly"

Master,. at least do you know
the name of this game?

'This is not cricket or football'

You must hold your breath and
repeat 'kabaddi', you know?

Our rules are different

You can't just touch and run

You must toss your opponent
outside the line

What...still want to play?

Come on, da

"Kabaddi...kabaddi...kabaddi...play"

Kabaddi...kabaddi...kabaddi

You're out if you step out of the line

"On your mark, get set, full gear"

"Sandalwood paste smeared here"

Trying your tricks with us?

"You are ready for your bier"

"Your downfall is marked"

Bingo!

'He got a solid slap'

Knock him down

'He deserves it!'

- Soooper, master
- Come...face on

He is hitting us real hard

If you have the guts
show it now

Come...come on

Kabaddi...kabaddi...kabaddi

Kabaddi...kabaddi...kabaddi

Lift him

You dare lay a finger on us
Just you wait and watch!

Come...come

How dare you break a boy's hand!

This is tit for tat time for you

[loud cheering]

Kabbadi...kabbadi...kabbadi

"All set to knock you down"

"Lick your defeat with face on the ground"

"On your mark, get set, ready to lose"

"One step to defeat, time for the noose"

"Get set, sandalwood paste smeared"

"Clash of wills here
Be ready to lie on your bier"

Kabaddi...kabaddi...touch the line"

Watch the line

If you dare lay a finger
on these boys just once more

"Kabaddi...kabaddi...hold your breath"

"Kabaddi...touch to show your strength"

Master?

Master...?

- What?
- Is it okay to talk frankly?

- Camera is recording everything
- Go on, doesn't matter

I'll tell you, master

My mother passed away
when I was born

My neighbor sister raised me

My father asked that sister
if she will sleep with him!

That's why

I threw the grinding stone on his head

Immediately the police put me in jail

'That's when I got
trapped with brother Das'

From then on I had to listen
only to what brother Das says

Brother Das will walk in

He will check who is addicted to drugs

Powder, smoke, booze
He will increase the dosage

Which one of you here

...has seen Bhavani?

Bhavani?

Where have I heard this name?

'Somehow sounds familiar'

Master

We have heard this name
But none of us have seen him

Brother Das is 'be all and end all' here

We must obey him implicitly

'If he asks us to surrender
we should do so with our eyes closed'

Otherwise we will be hanged

'They recently hanged 2 boys'

'Didn't you see that, master?'

Do you all want to go home
and live with your family?

Or do you want to surrender?

- Go home, master
- Be with our family

You have been here for 10 days

We haven't taken to drugs till now

Only now we know
our own selves

Somehow save us from here, master

If you follow what I say, you can
go home and live as you wish

Will you do as I say?

- Yes, master
- We will

Whatever you shared with me now
will you tell the same to the magistrate?

Of course we will, master

I'll arrange all the formalities
to get them out on parole

Thanks, sir

Let the video evidence
be with Charu till then

It will reach the magistrate
when you say so

Master, you shot some video
and cleverly made us confess

You haven't shared your story

Tell us
Let's listen

'Ask him, da'

Cat got your tongue, huh?

- Tell us
- Tell us, master

'Please share your story, master'

We are asking, right?
Please tell us

Don't ask for trouble
Trust my voice of experience!

Wait, they are very eager to hear

I'll be happy to share
Let them enjoy

I was in college then

'I think it was my final year'

A new teacher joined our college

Her name was Malar

Unbelievable one in a million 'Love'

All of a sudden that girl I loved

...met with an accident

'She forgot her past'

She didn't even know who I was

She even forgot my mad love for her

Fate made me attend her wedding
present a bouquet with my own hands!

After tha-

Dai! Why are all of you
sniffling and crying?

Now that girl has totally
forgotten our past

Master, isn't that teacher sister Charu?

Hey, this sister is teacher
working as my colleague now

That was my college time

Down memory lane
Malar teacher

Dai, don't you watch Malayalam movies?

If I don't understand the language

- I won't watch
- Okay

Getting late
All of you leave

Class tomorrow morning as usual

Okay, master
Bye, master

How much longer will you quote a film story
if someone asks you about your past life?

Fool yourself in the bargain
and trick others too?

Which is a film story?

Don't act

What you narrated was
Malayalam film 'Premam'

Copy cats! They stole my story
and it is released, huh?

One track mind
on plagiarism, huh?

Okay, what do you want to know?

Tell me

Why did you start drinking?

Every drunkard will have a story

Why go into it now?

If I tell you my reason

...a handful of them
will follow my footsteps

Is that necessary?
Isn't it wrong?

Okay...okay

I won't tell you now
why I got into this habit

If you like I'll tell you
why I quit, shall I?

"When we see those eyes of his
won't love automatically bloom in us?"

"When we go close to him especially
won't our mind skip like a deer joyfully?"

"Residing in her heart all the time
His style, his stride so sublime"

"Featuring in her dreams always
24x7 is his charming dear face"

"He is Mr Handsome truly
He is our Master, one and only"

"His smile, not too much, not too less"

"His charisma beams through in excess"

"His heart is soft as a flower
Youthfulness is his signature"

"I pity our girls for sure"

"His smile is like a sparkler
He's good natured forever"

"This master with his class
covers one and all en masse"

"If his fire work-glance falls on you
even a failed heart will pass too"

"He is single, our news a fact
This is your chance to act"

"When we see those eyes of his
won't love naturally blossom in us?"

"When we go close to him especially
won't our mind skip like a deer joyfully?"

JD is an orphan

Just grew like a wild tree

Only after joining this college

'...he met a professor'

'His friendship and care
changed JD's life altogether'

V.C.Selvam!

But unfortunately he had a health issue

'He got admitted
in a hospital to get treated-'

That really shattered JD

After that he was unable to sleep

'That bloody alcohol took over him'

"Residing in her heart all the time
His style, his stride so divine"

"Featuring in her dreams always
24x7 is his endearing dear face"

"He is Mr Handsome truly
He is our Master, one and only"

"His smile, not too much, not too less"

"His charisma beams through in excess"

"Friendly gaze he sweeps
Calm and collected he speaks"

"No holds barred at all
All of them flip and fall"

"Magnetic personality
Quick & slick, sharp is he"

"Our master is always
Top in all ways"

"Some kind of innate power he displays
Endearing temerity always in place"

"If he stands solo; which Miss
won't yearn to be his Mrs?"

"When we see those eyes of his
won't love naturally blossom in us?"

What-?

Please move

Hey!

Come on

[mobile ringing]

Tell me, Charu

Sir, don't know who they are

'2 or 3 boys are chasing me'

Charu, where are you?
Which area?

In Triplicane, Murugan temple

Road opposite Murugan temple

Charu?

Charu...?

Follow me

'They started chasing me when I was
on my way to the magistrate's house'

I don't know what to do
or where to go

Charu, don't be scared

'I will send our boys'

Go inside some shop there

'Enter a shop to be safe'

'Thank you for calling, Parandhaman'

- I've come into a shop, sir
- Turn on the speaker

What do you need?

'Bro, 1 minute please
Listen to what I have to say'

'Let this girl hide
in your shop for a while'

I'll send my men, please

My business will get affected
Don't involve me, clear out

Aren't you a fiery blooded youth?

'Speak boldly'

Bro, I'll take care

- 'You don't worry'
- Thank you, brother

Come here, dear

- Did a girl come in here?
- No

"My dark and bold beau
why was he Uncle Scrooge?"

"He made my heart soft and cottony
quake with desire; explode in rhapsody"

"Tell me the auspicious time
when wedding bells will chime?"

[song from 'Pudhu Nellu Pudhu Naathu']

- Master, they are teasing m-
- Sshhhhhhhhhh!

"He made my heart soft and cottony
quake with desire; explode in rhapsody"

'I told you no one came in here'

'Bro, where are you going in?'

'Listen'

'He already told you no one is here'

Oldie, shut up

Give it of your own accord

Or else just 2 punches
I'll smash your face

If I have to grab it from you-

- Dai...dai
- Wait, master

This face looks familiar

'Sister'

'Turn your phone towards him'

Hey Undiyal...!

'Hey Button, my dear friend!'

Undiyal, da

What are you doing
in this video call?

Dai, the girl you are chasing is my sister

- 'Your sister?
- Yes'

I didn't know that

I was asked to finish her
That's way I chased her

But tell me, why are you chasing her?

- What is that?
- She has a camera

I believe she has a camera

Ask her to give it
and we'll leave

Sister, give him what he wants

We will deal with this differently

'Okay?'

'Just give it, sister'

"My eyes can't close at night
without leaning on your chest in delight"

'Hey Button'

I told you she's my sister
I didn't hear your apology?

- Apologize to her
- Sorry, sister

'Hey! You boys too'

Sorry, sister

Glad you are that scared of me!

Master, end of incident
Sister safe from any accident

You talk to her
I'll wait there

Charu, leave that place immediately

"Trust us even if we are teeny
For you, we get our hands dirty"

"We can steal a weapon in jail
Chase you, hot on your trail"

"Chew a gum for flavor
Take the boys you favor"

Dai, who are all of you?

What are you doing?

Look

What is this tattoo?

This branding?

When boys are sent to this Home

Brother Das will pick up
the sharp ones and train us

When we get released, he will tattoo
our hand with this Tamil letter 'pa'

If we show this tattoo in the Mess,
we can eat to our stomach's content

If you are older, you'll get
plenty of booze and cigarettes

You can get clothes for free
from their textile shop

They will even get you
dope from a pharmacy

But the hitch is

Every now and then, they will
make us surrender for a crime

Not to get back into the old
bad ways, I'm staying aloof

'We have heard this name
But none of us have seen him'

'Brother Das is 'be all and end all' here'

'We must obey him implicitly'

- Is it a newly released film?
- 'No one can defy him'

'He asks you to surrender
we should, with our eyes closed'

How did you lose track of her?

Don't know how, Bhavani
I sent only professionals

- Somehow they messed up-
- Shut up!

What do we do with this, bro?

It has a card inside which stores
whatever we shoot or click

Break that card alone and
keep the camera at my place

Okay

When are they announcing the results?

Heard it's Monday or Tuesday

You'll anyway win unopposed

Why should you be tense?

- I can enjoy, right?
- Yes, then what?

Sit here

Do you know this ostrich?

A bird with a long neck like this

Have you seen its egg?
It will be this big

So big in size

But only that ostrich will know
the pain of hatching such an egg!

Will you sit here even after
I've explained to you?

No, Bava

- Get lost!
- No, Bhavani

Bhavani, boys want a booze party

You won't anyway drink

At least for them-

Drink to dig your own grave

- Go ahead
- Thanks a lot, Bhavani

- 'Goodnight, Bava'
- Goodnight

Somehow you made me
show you this place

I was staying away
from this place

Let's go back, master

Wait, I have a good reason

We'll go soon

'Right, you haven't come here to eat'

- 'What happened to my chicken 'pakoda'?
- Narayana, serve him'

I thought you were inviting me
for a candle light dinner

Last time I came here,
there was no power

They had lit only candles

Okay, relax

Don't look at this place

I heard the food here is super

'Get a token for the meals'

'Madam, you too'

I thought we'll have some privacy

Close your eyes and
show me your right hand

- Why?
- Show, I'll tell you

You shouldn't open your eyes
till I tell you

'Open now'

That boy's hand in the salon
had this same mark

Show this over there

Ask for 'meals' token

Why should I-

All for a good reason
Go and show your hand

Who the hell is he?

'We don't differentiate or discriminate'

'Whoever has a Tamil letter 'pa'
tattooed on their hands...'

...we give them whatever they ask

Bhavani's boys will take care of the rest

What is this for?

Still some balance left
in my bucket list!

"Let the drums beat; no restraint
Let the party rock; no constraint"

"Let our army smash and slam
Our earth will quake with the wham"

"My hands will never miss a beat
when I beat the drum ever so neat"

"Even the dormant nerve will dance
hearing my drum's resonance"

'Beat it!'

"Till the sun rises to a new day
let the ground shake and sway"

"Till the game is won, job is done
slow down but have your fun"

"Even the Lord of Death Yama will die
if he glares with his razor sharp eye"

'Hey boy!'

"Light the camphor for our Lord
He is possessed by our demi-god"

"Look high and low diligently
Every nook & corner and alley"

"There is no other big gun to defy
Or create a ruckus and vilify"

'Bhavani!'

That master is churning in my mind

Tell him to kill that master
tomorrow before day break

Why wait till tomorrow morning?
We can close his chapter right now

Shut your gob
Just do what I say

"Let the force of his punching fist
make the drumhead rip and split"

"Let 'sound' listen to the thump and lo!
Announce who struck the blow"

'You there!'

"Let the force of his punching fist
make the drumhead rip and split"

"Let 'sound' listen to the thump and lo!
Announce who struck the blow"

"Shaking his stupor, without a doubt
he is all set to rip your gut out"

"To hang you upside down
and skin you alive is his vow"

'Master...!'

"Let the drums roll; no restraint
Let the party rock; no constraint"

"Let our army smash and slam
Our earth will quake with the wham"

"My hands will never miss a beat
when I beat the drum; it's a royal treat"

"Even the dormant nerve will dance
hearing my drum's resonance"

'Rock & roll'

"Till the sun rises to a new day
let the ground shake and sway"

Give me Dinkie Dow if you have

I don't stock drugs

"Even the Lord of Death Yama will die
if he glares with his razor sharp eye"

'Hey boy'

"Light the camphor for our Lord
He is possessed by our demi-god"

"Got the man with the plan right here"

"Bringin' swag with the man right here"

Forward all the videos
to the police department

I'll bring the boys
to the Magistrate directly

Okay

Master

This is Bhavani brother's truck

I've heard he comes here often

Let's go there

Aiyaiyo! Are you joking, master?

I am not coming
You go if you want

"A whole night of merry-making"

"Day spent in sleep overtaking"

"This is the world we rejoice
Reveling in unforbidden joys"

"A whole night of merry-making
Day spent in sleep overtaking"

"This is the world we rejoice
Reveling in unforbidden joys"

"A whole night of partying"

[song from 'Navarathiri']

"This is our universe
for better or worse"

You move I'll stab you

Walk straight ahead

"What existed before birth"

Knock, da

"Even you can't unearth"

To top it all
a secret code!

"What happens after we die
Even I don't know the right reply"

If any hand reaches out to his weapon

He will end up a corpse

Kneel, man

- Kneel down
- Switch off the song

Damn, switch it off!

Who is Bhavani here?

Huh?

Which one of you here
has seen Bhavani?

What kind of sissy name
is that...Bhavani?

Was he lying on his stomach
as a baby when he was named?

Shabaa!

Let me make it clear once more

If any of you do something stupid
trying to retaliate

I'll sign on your man's
Adam's apple, got it?

'Try your luck flinging another bottle?'

That means

You know Bhavani very well

Will you go and repeat this
to him verbatim?

Bhavani...Bhavani

Bhavani...Bhavani

A man walked in right royally
knowing it is your den, Bhavani

Repeat, da

No, you tell me
I'll convey it

No, you are scared

'Listen, I might as well tell all of you'

The day you killed those 2 boys in
the Observation Home and hung them

I hung my head in guilt and died

I'm least bothered about myself hereafter

Branding those juveniles with a tattoo
and making them do your dirty work

I've put a full stop to it

From now on, anyone wants to do anything
using the boys as lambs for the slaughter

...has to kill me and then go ahead
but that has a slight hitch

I will kill minimum 10 of you
and only then breathe my last

Be it Bhavani
or Banumathi!!!

Will you go and tell him
word by word?

Come, get up

Close the door

Who threw that bottle at me, da?

Come here

No, Bhavani

I aimed it at him

The pen will fall down and
you can escape I thought

'But it missed and-'

Hey! Lazy lout
Open the door

- 'Open the door
- Madcap!'

- Open the door, da
- What false bravado!

Son of a scumbag!
Open it, damn you

Where did you go?
Open now, I'll kill you

'Hey! Open'

'How dare you lay a hand
on Bhavani when I'm here?'

- Kottamuthu
- Come now

- Hey Kottamuthu
- What did you think of us?

Bro is calling you

Come here

- What are you doing?
- He locked us in

He was holding a knife
to my neck for an hour

WTH were you doing then?

Bhavani, that wasn't a knife

- It was a pen
- You knew it, huh?

How will he open the door
if you yell after he has gone?

Shall we pen him a letter?

'Sir, please open the door'

Don't hit me, Bhavani

Who can draw very well here?

Master, he is our best artist

He's the madcap who doodles foul stuff
all over the toilet and the walls, master

'Hi master'

I believe you came to my den

Threatened a man with a pen and
conveyed an important message to Bhavani

I am that Bhavani

'Vanakkam'

If you destroy all that I own,
textile shop, hotel, wine shop

What the hell will he do?
He is himself a criminal

'You assumed I won't
go to the police, right?'

Your assumption is 100% right

But thinking you'll make
a fool of me was wrong

'I enquired about you'

I believe you have a big gang
of ardent fan followers

'Which one of them can I finish off?
I asked my boys their choice'

They said we can have a jolly time
killing them all without discrimination

Let me give you a task
Take a pen and paper'

List out your favorites
in alphabetical order

Hey Bhavani!

Don't ignore girls and kids
thinking I'll be soft on them

Include their names too definitely

'Write and call each one of them'

And then...master?

Give me the phone

'Hello...?'

- Why did he hang up on me?
- 'Must have got scared'

Got very emotional I guess

Why do emotional men
get so hyper and angry?

Pick...pick...pick up my call

Pick up

- Hi, dude
- Where are you?

I'm just leaving my office

- You are safe?
- Yes, what's the problem?

'Listen to me
Don't step out'

What is the proble-

Come on, pick up

- Sir?
- WHERE ARE YOU?

- Shut u-
- 'I hope you're safe?'

- 'Yes, sir, what happened?'
- Listen

Check if our batch students
are safe, okay?

'Madhi, where is Srinath?'

'He is here, JD'

- What is it?
- 'Stay at home, don't go out'

'Everything safe?'

JD called me

'He was so hassled'

'He told us not to step out'

Guys, don't step out of your house
Most important, avoid road travel

'In case you are out, go to any house
or shop nearby or any safe place'

'JD sir called just now
I think there's a major problem'

'If you are safe'

For heaven's sake
text our entire group

Park the bike

'Almost everyone in the group
texted they are safe'

But we couldn't reach
only Bhargav and Savitha, sir

Don't swerve too much to the right

Careful!

Hello?

I am safe-

Vanathi, where are you?

In a mall nearby
What happened?

- Is Prem with you?
- 'Yes, da'

He has gone to fetch
my purse from the car-

'VANATHI, WHAT IS IT?'

'What happened, Vanathi?'

'VANATHI, TALK TO ME
What is it?

VANATHI

- 'Where are you, da?'
- Theater, why, sir?

- Are you alright?
- What happened?

SIR...!

SRI DAI!

SIR!

Hey!

Hey! Get out

- What happened?
- Savitha, go

'Bhargav'

BHARGAV!

'Bhargav...!'

'SIR!'

Sir...!

Bhargav is dead, sir

"Got the man with the plan right here"

"Bringin' swag with the-"

Master

How many wickets down?

'According to the News I got'

2 wickets down
2 retired hurt

If you are still stubborn enough
to hang out with that gang

...you'll lose 4 wickets daily

'I have never forgiven anyone
who has crossed my path till now'

This is my first time
and I am forgiving you

Just quit your job, do an 'about turn'
and disappear from this town

'Otherwise one who escaped today
will die tomorrow and repeat'

It will go on repeat mode

They will keep falling like ninepins
Thank you and good bye

Hey...hey!
Master...master

'The main reason I called you'

I didn't lie face down
when I was named it seems

I was on my back
it was clear as a bell!

- Hey
- 'Aahn'

- DAI!
- 'Hahn?'

I'll dice you, dry and
pickle you to pieces

Thank you
Goodbye

Take care of them just for today

I'll be back soon

Don't worry, you go

'I will ensure the safety of these boys'

- Aiyo! Let go of me, bro
- Shut up, get into the truck

- Bro, let go of me
- Hit you

Where are you taking me?

- I'm not coming, bro
- Das!

Hey! Come here

Das, he's throwing a tantrum

- Lift him
- Don't force me, bro

- No...no
- Bloody well listen

Save me, warden

Don't do this, Das

Save us somehow, warden

- Don't take them
- Let me go, bro

Move it

'Hey Das! Where are you taking the boys?'

[mobile ringing]

"Bringin' swag with the man right here"

'Hello, sir
I'm Thulukanam speaking'

'Das and his boys have
locked us in here'

'He has taken the boys
who turned approvers'

'In a truck somewhere, sir'

'We don't know what to do
Please come soon, sir'

[mobile ringing]

Yes, Vanathi

'This is not the end of the world for us'

You have gone out of your way
for these boys, enough

'I have informed the higher authorities
They said they will be here soon'

"He was chewing betel leaves in bliss
I punched his nose without a miss"

"You should have seen blood gush out
This Amaran's heart is gold, no doubt"

[Singing a song from 'Amaran']

"Just utter the name 'Amaran', bro
soda bottles will fly at our foe"

I don't care two hoots
about the repercussion

I'll take full blame
Beat the hell out of them

Hold this

"It's a lilting tune anyone can hum"

"Amaran is a seasoned singer awesome"

"He was chewing betel leaves in bliss
I punched his nose without a miss"

"Should have seen his nose bleed
This Amaran's heart is gold indee-"

Master...master, da

Back again?

Plan to hit us?

Go ahead

Come here

Think you've achieved
something great in life

Shout all you want

Dai!

Bhargav

He is dead, da

Bhargav created much more trouble
in college than all of you put together

He is dead now

If a real rowdy reforms and just when
he wants to lead a good life, if he dies-

Do you know it is
the height of cruelty?

The faith people around him have
to turn over a new leaf will vanish

Oh my gawd!

Master has started preaching to us

Ignore them, bro

Why do you treat them
on an equal footing with you?

These mongrels won't reform
even if they die!

Yov! Who will reform?

When have we treated him with respect?

Or given him time, place
or an opportunity to reform?

Undiyal, Odacha Kadalai, Bottle Mani,
Soda Sekar, what kind of names?

Then how will they remember
their family or tender love and care?

Family and society alienate them

If everybody has exiled him
how will he reform?

Come here, da

What?

1st crime by many boys here
is based on emotion quotient

Affection, betrayal, anger,
or a rush of adrenalin

Each with a reason

But after the first time

You know what instigates you to commit
every crime you pile on to your account?

Intoxication!

I can bet on this, da

All other crimes after your 1st was
committed losing control of your senses

Didn't you booze?
Didn't you have a ball?

Oh! Yes, sir

Open your warped mind!

Only a drunkard can talk
of how it ruined his family

Only because of my addiction

2 boys lost their lives
I got that into my thick head

I quit drinking

'Chee! Don't be a drama king, master!'

Am I brewing liquor at home?

Blaming the buyer
instead of the seller!

That's exactly what I'm saying
This intoxication is a political game

You are not yet 18 years
You can't watch this Adult film

A security guard stands out
to push you out, right?

Why is no one standing guard
outside a wine shop?

How do 10 -15 year olds get hold
of a booze bottle and cigarette?

Politics

Bhavani is moving his pawn
and playing this kind of politics

When the law is against child labor

...that beast is forcing the same boys
into nefarious activities unwillingly

What is this?

What is it?

Like bribing you to vote and
you end up with an inked finger

He gives you freebies and
brands you with a tattoo

He has bathed you in basic amenities
providing free food and clothing

Good lord!

Enough of this atrocity

You have packed those boys who believed
they have a good future into that truck

Don't know if they will hang from a fan
or be run over by a tyre

But

I will save them

Every single one of them

What did he say, da?

He will kill all those who like me?

Hey!

[ironical laughter]

There are zillions outside who like me
Mind, body, heart and soul, da

Ask him to try his luck

'Bro, Bhavani has loaded the documents,
money bags of his 'benamis' in his lorries'

'He is planning to
cross the border tonight'

'The boys are in one of the trucks, bro'

Bhavani

All 40 lorries have crossed the border

Expected anytime now

Those boys?

Das is bringing them in the container

Go

Finish her off!

Vanathi...Vanathi

Run over her

Vanathi

Vanathi, take the wheel

Come...come

Bang his car and kill them

Come...come

'Stop...stop'

If those 15 boys turn approvers
whom will they point their fingers at?

Das of course

They have never met you, Bhavani

What if Das turns approver?

Your name, Bhavani

Then kill Das

Go

Go, da

Do you want him to kill me
out of your sight?

Your words came to my mind

'I will give my life for you'

Give it now

I thought of you
as my own elder brother

I regarded you as my brother

Even I thought of you
as my very own younger brother

'What do you want me to do?'

Where are the boys?

Where are they, da?

Hey! Go and check the container

Go...move it

Bloody-

Let's see who wins
You or me?

Das, listen to me

Listen to me
JUST LISTEN!

Hear me out

Oral statement by all those boys
point fingers accusingly only at you

They don't even know the name Bhavani

Bhavani knows that too

Give it serious thought

Will he kill all the boys?

Or kill the one they are pointing
fingers at, which is YOU?

- You deserve to die
- In one swift blow, I'll-

That is not my intention

Let's stop with the lives already lost

I'm saying this like a broken record

Bhavani is clever

He won't kill the boys
His target is YOU

Listen to me once
Only this time

Ask him if you can bring the boys
in front of him he will say 'no'

Continue to ask repeatedly

You'll know the true colors of Bhavani

If this doesn't happen-

I am all yours to kill

"Master"

"They call me...master"

"You know me...master"

"I am master the blaster"

"Oooh yeah!"

"Master"

"They call me...master"

Welcome, master

This is the first time
we are meeting, right?

Loaded with emotion, huh?

My dear master

Bhavani isn't just a name

It's a kingdom I created for myself

You can't create a world record
with your overnight lesson

If he was sharing his pearls of wisdom
what about the mud between your ears?

You carried that boy on your waist?

Did you think they are kids?

They are killers of the worst kind

I've already given you too much time

Still I'll give you 2 minutes

If you can ki-

Master, why did you hit me in mid speech?

Didn't you ask for it?

Come

Is this all the force you can muster?

Master

[fired up laughter]

Job done and dusted

'Lord, pardon this sinner'

Don't!

Hey! I am fighting here for your sake

So your hands don't grip
a knife once more

Your mind

Your mind should not
go back to its old way

I am fighting your cause

Not one of you

Not even one of you
should raise his hand

Step back

MOVE BACK!

"O master, come to my den
If you don't, I'll force you then"

[singing a popular song from 'Bommalattam']

"In my own hot spot
you bet I'm a big shot"

'How was it?'

You're teaching a lesson
even when you're about to die

Is this your last lesson, master?

'Come'

Shall we have it this way?

Show me your fist power

[whistling]

- Hey...hey
- Master

- Take the boys to the truck
- Okay, master

Hey Das

Bhavani! Bhavani!

"Come, my dear dude
Raw banana 'bajji' for you"

"I will tear your body to tatters
Fry and serve as golden fritters"

[song from the film 'Thangaikor Geetham']

"I will tear your body in a jiffy
Fry and serve as bajji"

Master...master...wait

Sit down

Master

A problem won't be solved
by killing a person

I asked a man
when I was just 17

This is the same request
I'm asking you

Let me live

I will do anything for you

I won't harm those boys

You are the one who made
those innocent children criminals

One-

Only 1 year

You were let into that Observation Home
and you've progressed so much in life

If you are punished and sent to jail
imagine what you'll do to this town

I'll get into politics

I'll start a party

Will you join me?

Master

What?

Sssshhhhhh!

[satisfied laughter]

Job done...dunzo!

[triumphant laughter]

"Let me sing a 'kutti' story
Pay attention, listen to me"

"If you want, take it or else
no need tension, leave it, baby"

"Life is very short, nanba"

- Master
- Who is that?

The boys are in the truck, master

Come here
Sit down

Sit

Shall I surrender instead of you?

Won't you understand till the very end?

Each person has to endure
the punishment according to his crime

Madcap!

I feel I should do something for you

Tell me if you have a family
I'll take care of them till you're back

I overheard the children in the reformatory
saying you loved a girl it seems

A girl from an affluent family
Already engaged to someone

Shall I go and talk to her?

Maybe I can share my epic story!

Listen, my dear boy

My name was not JD then

Jack Daniels

People called me 'Jack'

I used to draw well

Good at a game of cards

In such a game we were lucky
My friend and I won 2 tickets

You would have seen everyone
run to catch a bus or train

But imagine we ran and caught a ship
about to leave the dock

Huh?

That's where I set eyes on her
for the very 1st time

Her name was Rose

What did you say her name was?

Rose

Rose...Jack

Listen to my love story

After I fell head over heels
in love with her, I found out

...she's already engaged

After that, as we were sailing smoothly

The ship hit an iceberg on the way?

How do you know that?

I'll wait outside, master

- Listen to my full epic love story
- No need, it's okay, master

'Since manipulation of boys into crimes
by anti social elements was proved'

'With the aid of proper evidence'

'That specific Govt Reformatory
was shut down permanently'

'Of the 63 inmates, those above 18
were sent to Central Prison'

'And those below 18 were sent
to other Govt reformatories'

Your fingerprint over there

Go inside

What is the crime
you are serving term for?

Baby face, partner
Must be a gigolo

Look at his face
Like a parcel folded into four

Juveniles of Nagercoil
in that Bhavani case

I heard it was 7 of them
Only 6 are here

Baby face is here
Handsome face is missing

Where is your master?

Must have been sent to Vellore jail

It's even more convenient, partner

We go to Vellore in 10 days
We'll finish him there

Then we will meet your master in Vellore

Transfer only after 10 days, huh?

- Are you here till then?
- Why?

Drag that 'beedi'
deep into your lungs

This is the last 'beedi' you'll smoke

Over dramatic punch line!

You're teaching ME
about the 'prisoner'!!

You would have seen
notorious prisoners

But guess who is coming now

MASTER

"Master coming!"

"Move aside!"

"Safe and safeguarded"

subtitled by rekhs
assisted by harini

"The second our commander steps in
it's like an atom bomb exploding"

"Master coming!"

"Move aside!"

"Deliberately if you make trouble"

"It will boomerang on you centuple"

"If you jeer or sneer at us"

"Mind you, you'll be limbless"

Aiyo!

"Tell topsy turvy
Yell curvy scurvy"

"Tear them to tatters
Scare them to scatter"

Aiyo!

"Tear them to tatters
Scare them to scatter"

"Master coming!"

"Make way"
