This is the place

'Sannasi - Folk dance troupe Padithurai, Tanjore'

Greetings...welcome

- Who do you want to meet? - Theepanjaman Koil colony?

Yes, what's the matter?

Is there a poet by name Swamy here?

A poet called Swamypulavar?

- No one here by that name - He must be here

He'll be around 70 years

Famous musician and percussionist

He sings well and plays the 'thavil' brilliantly

We are all here as a troupe to play all the musical instruments

But there's no poet by name Swamy here

He received the State award for folk music from Dr MGR way back in 1980

He's Swamy the poet

Oh! Now I got it

You called him God and poet That confused us

Our Sannasi's father, bro

He's an old hand

Why do you want to meet him?

We've come from Discovery Tamil TV channel

We are interviewing old artistes for a program

Top-notch tip-top TV folks, huh?

I thought as much seeing your dress

Please come

These Whites are diving into the deep end without a clue

Let's wait and watch

Are you all related to him?

Of course

But if we say this aloud, he'll beat us like his drum!

Why?

I believe he's the best drummer in the world

And we do a shoddy job it seems

Let him think so

Wait...wait

That's his house

We'll wait here

He hates the sight of us

He is a grouchy old man

You go and talk to him

Who are you?

Half baked and half dressed!

What do you want?

We are from Discovery channel

Girl, huh?!

We would like to shoot your performance and telecast it 'live'

Means?

We want to take a video of you playing the drum naturally

And telecast it

Whole world will watch it

Are you okay with it?

Give me foreign liquor?

Then I'll play for you

Are you ready, sir?

We didn't think he would ace it like this

Sounds great listening to classical music

With this same instrument...

...according to our present times

Rock, pop, jazz

Can you mix all this and give us a commercial fusion?

How?

Like beggars who mix food from different houses and eat!

Like that?

No...I didn't mean it that way

Hey! What do you take me for?

Swamypulavan

I don't dabble in such disgraceful potpourri!

Understood?

To comply to your demands you have 'moodevi'

Ask him to play

You'll get plenty of publicity

Fit for the cemetery!

What are you gawking at? Run...run now

What did you understand?

Gang up with that 'moodevi'!

Get lost

Think no end of themselves!

Ignore that loser

We'll play, how much will you pay?

Not much, we can come to a friendly understanding

But who's Moodevi?

Who is Moodevi he referred to?

'Moodevi' means a wastrel

His son Sannasi

He plays drums, bagpipes, strings, reeds, the whole works

Jack of all trades

What is this new habit?

Started in the morning itself?

Mother's love overflowing?

Get lost!

Hey Sooravali...!

If your son plays my feet tap of their own accord

I need to dance, right? That's why I drank, uncle

Hello...waiting for 1 nimute

Uncle, you got a call

Hello...?

Yes, it's me, sir

I'll be there in half hour

Who was that on the phone, uncle?

Is that the place to keep the phone?

Was it there all along?

Safety locker, uncle

It will vibrate only when my uncle gets a call!

'Vibrasion' Like my heart

Good-for-nothing female

816, 2nd floor

Greetings, sir

- Which one of you is Sannasi? - Me, sir

We want to book your dance

When we enquired, we found out your troupe is the best in town

We are celebrating a temple festival for 1 week in our place grandly

Perform there for us

How much are you expecting?

7 days?

You give what you think is right, sir

Tell us where, we will take a bus and land up

Hey! It's in Andaman!

You can only come by ship

Sir, please don't get me wrong

You specify the amount yourself

Taking away 4 days to and fro on the ship...

...for your 7-day performance

...I'll pay you 7 lakhs on the whole

Hey! What happened?

Sir, he has a bile problem

Faints every now and then

You don't worry

Lilliput!

Okay, how many of you will come?

Hour-glass drum, frame drum, barrel drum, cylindrical drum, drone as accompaniment

Other than the main dancer

Totally 5 dancers

Okay, keep this as advance

Leave on January 10th

Make sure you land in Andaman on the 13th

Certainly, sir

Don't go overboard

Mind you, Rs 5000 only per head

Soooper, right?

What is this color?

The glare is making my eyes squint!

We are paying for it, right?

Why be stingy on the color!

Okay, buy it

Take your pick

I want this boy's wig

Do you want the same wig?

Discounts only for kids

You think he's a kid?

Given a chance he would have fathered 4 kids!

I don't know all that

Discount is based on size

Darker version of evergreen hero MGR!

Please give me 1 rose and 1 purple

2 bras, madam?

- What's your size? - Check it yourself, grandpa

XXXL

Isn't that Sooravali's favorite booze?

He's implying yours is the biggest size of the lot

Uncle...?

Uncle...my dear uncle

Is this bra my size?

I'll hit you where it hurts most!

How will I know? Get lost

Why...? Don't you know?

How often you've stared pointedly?

How dare you say I stare...wretched female!

Uncle, it smells real good

Why don't you take a sniff?

If it smells, snip it into 2 and use it as a tea strainer!

This looks really good on you

Kalaivani...Kalaivani...?

- What's this, bro? - Got it for the cold weather

Forget that

This will suit you

Bro, I like this dress

Won't you trust your brother's taste, dear?

- Okay, bro - Like it?

Looks like your masked face!

She's so mean, Kalaivani

The storekeeper hit the jackpot thanks to us

- Hey! Sooravali - Give this to my father

Don't tell him I bought it

Let him think it is from you

This happens all the time

Hey! Stop

- Here, keep this - For me?

Don't think I bought it out of love

The saree you chose

Like a rooster painted in rainbow colors

Drape this instead

Why are you giving it to me so secretly?

Shouldn't the whole world know you bought me a sari?

Hey girls! Look at this

My uncle has bought me a saree

He loves me

Hereafter shouldn't buy even a kerchief for her!

Flowers won't go well with this dress, bro

Keep quiet, dear

Flowers and 'bindi' enhance a girl's beauty

Why are you in tears?

Make sure you eat properly

Uncle, don't have the heart to leave your newlywed wife?

It's getting late Come fast

See you, darling

Sindbad, got some hidden treasure at home?

Hanging on the lock for dear life?

Maybe he's locking up his secret love inside!

Does this 'dejign' look good on me?

Take care

What's there to care or care two hoots?!

I'm going only to take care of my uncle

Everyone has assembled Shall we leave?

How can we leave?

All of you go and inform that poetic genius

And get his blessings

Who's that poet?

That loser of a drummer!

My father

Whatever it is he's a genius

We always need his blessings

Make it fast

How dumb of me! Never crossed my mind

Come

Uncle?

Should I inform you specially?

Go, do as I say

Hey! Don't keep babbling

Let's go one by one

Being the eldest I'll get his blessings first

Sir, we are traveling real far

I need your blessing

Scum...scumbag

As if it isn't enough humiliating our art here...

...crossing the sea to disgrace me?

Useless buggers!

- Give way - Move aside

Good you thumped them, uncle

Why does he need a wig at this age?

Sooravali...?

You look beautiful in this saree

Depends on who bought it

Your son!

Father and son share the same taste!

See you, uncle

Have a safe trip, dear!

My wig saved me from a bump on my head!

You got?

You bet we did!

He gave us a cauldron full

You can also get some

Let's scoot, he may come here chasing us

Bro...bro...bro...?

- Where's the program? - Why?

- To watch of course - In Andaman

Watch your step

Good evening, sir

Can I get booze here?

- What? - Booze...booze...!

- Do you get it here? - Stupid female!

Don't you have brains?

You nutcase! Off you go

World is really corrupt now

Getting angry like Captain Vijaykanth!

Moron!

Move aside, Lilliput

Uncle, you said this ship carries all the wares possible

They don't have booze here Then what do you mean 'ware'?

Started your antics here also, huh?

'I believe you are blushing, Mr Big Artiste'

I'm sitting here like a pounding stone!

Then why are you ogling at this White female?

Don't be so crass and crude

She won't even let me watch a film peacefully!

Hey Sindbad!

Why are you so starved?

You could've got married when young, right?

Am I saying 'no'?

If I get someone like that won't I enjoy her to the hilt?

In your dreams!

'Reached Andaman'

'To the kind attention of all passengers'

'We are happy to announce the passenger-cargo ship...'

'...has reached Andaman safely'

If we get 4 such foreign programs...

...we can even buy this ship!

Look Sannasi, they are waiting to welcome us with great fanfare

Welcome

Garland me

Do I look 'wow'?!

Shameless!

My God! Are we staying in a palace like this?

Hello, sir

You should be ready with make-up done by 9:30 a.m

All of you follow me

Let's go

Can I get booze here?

What is she asking Mr Ashwin?

I'll make arrangements What is your name?

Did I hurt you, dear?

No, bro

- Hold the mirror properly - Stand in one place

This is the ladies' changing room

Other than us gents not allowed

Just another 15 minutes Be ready by then

Should we be waiting hand and foot on you?

Help each other and get ready fast

They will even ask us to clean their heads of lice

Uncle...?

Enough

How long will you touch up her face?

Come here

Go, do her make up

Clear out

Why kick me?

Started her tantrum, huh?

Bloody ass Lilliput!

Why did you kick him?

I called you, right?

Why do you send a substitute?

You'll attend only to her, huh?

- You must do my face too - She's like my sister

Who am I then? Random stranger?

You drool all over your co-dancers

Aren't you ashamed?

You think I drool over them?

Then you do my make-up Why are you scared?

Yes, peeing in my pants!

She is Bond's female avatar!

Sit down

Its 10 years since I sat down alone when I got my periods, I mean!

I'm still a virgin

That's why I follow you like a love-sick pup

Don't mix business with pleasure

Okay, okay, line my eyes

Like the Titanic hero, he is drawing with in depth detailing

All done...go

Who will draw the star around my navel?

Why do you want a star?

Like the yucky graffiti all over bus stands and public toilets...

...you've inked your body with tattoos, no?

All the men eye only my belly-button

What can I do?

Aiyo! Uncle You are tickling me

Don't tickle me please

All of you put your hands together and clap once

Why?

Our Sooravali is feeling shy it seems

"Rock and roll Heart and soul"

"Lord Muruga's look-alike smart"

"Shall I lure you into my heart?"

"I put you on a pedestal high"

"I hinted often for you to realize"

"But you still didn't choose to comply"

"Beat your drum to kingdom come"

"Rock and roll Lose control"

"Mischief-monger is she She revels in rivalry"

"She's a hunter, quite the pro Divine diva of our show"

"Dance attuned to the song crooned"

"Slowly the tempo rises Shall I dance till the dust flies?"

"If I come to the dais, ready for the show rhyme and rhythm also will follow"

"You beat in tune duly Don't be enticed by me"

"Dance to the rhythm As it gains momentum"

"The tempo rises slow to a crescendo"

"She's young, fresh and bright She lacks nothing, sweet delight"

"When you get to know her she kindles the fire of desire"

"Slowly the tempo builds to a crescendo"

"Beguiling eyes expressively roll the dice expertly"

"Shall I make your heads spin dizzy?"

"Shall I dance topsy-turvy?"

"Shall I be your feast exclusively?"

"With my eyes shall I chat lovey-dovey?"

"Beat your drum to kingdom come"

"Dance to the crowd With the drum beat loud"

Thank you

What a rush of adrenaline!

Too much! I loved her dance

Only 1 female is scrawny

The rest are all fine

The main dancer Sooravali is for me

You can share the other 5

Here he is

He's taking his own sweet time to come

Sannasi, it's 10:30 p.m, you don't seem to be taking care of us at all

Show us the girls please

We'll pay you extra, other than the payment for the program

He's obliging us immediately

I feel we might get it really hard!

I don't think Sooravali will be such a vixen

Anyway be on your guard

Look how she snores Like a rhinoceros!

Come in

Why have they come here at this time of night?

Sannasi anna has brought them?

Wonder why?

What is it, uncle?

Uncle in a different role!

Had your eye-full? I did what you asked me

Satisfied? Go to bed now

Are you acting funny with us?

You were the ones who said 'Show us the girls'

And I did

Should all dancers be pegged in as hookers?

Give us a break

How dare you let your tongue run?

You dare act smart with us!

I'll break your teeth to bits

How dare you raise your hands at my uncle?

Get lost!

Think you can get away, huh?

Save me from her

"Watch how the dust flies"

Sooravali!

What stomping game is this!

Hey! Stop right there

She's a real hellcat

Why the hell did I bring her here?

Good Lord!

She finished him off, huh?

Will you ever raise your hands again?

Let go of him

This will end up a murder case!

Let go

Why are you like a woman possessed?

God help me

Get out!

Con artist

Out...hurry up!

Kalaivani...?

Get out right now

- Have mercy, sir - Take your stuff and get out

GO

Clear out

This is your ticket

Bloody street dancers!

Let me see how you get back to India

Go and beg somewhere

What do we do now?

We are in a royal mess

Wretched fellow! He tore our ticket to bits

For raising his hands slightly...

...you beat the hell out of him?

Look how we are now care of platform thanks to you

Sooravali!

The way you trampled them they won't get up for a few days!

Must give it to you

You're a tigress to be revered

You bloody nincompoops!

Tigress to be revered!

Enough of your flattery

Try to think of a way to get back home

I have an idea, bro

Why don't we sell all that we bought...

...in a second hand shop and go back home?

You mean your wig?

Don't add salt to the wound!

My responsibility is to get you a job

But each of you must give me 10% of your wages

- Have they worked before? - Yes, they know their job

How long is their contract?

15 days

Fine, ask your people to start work here

I'll be back

Go and start work

Lift it on to her head

Carry it...quick

Koti is taking his job too seriously!

Get up! That 'gun throat' will be back anytime

Hurry up

Quick...carry it to the other side

I'll come back early tonight, dear

Are you blind or what?

Throwing gravel on me!

You have no brains, huh?

Can't you do your job properly?

What are you doing?

Tie it fast

Don't waste time

"Catch a koel and cage-"

Sooravali, what happened?

What happened, akka?

Couldn't you be careful?

Don't worry

Gently

Aiyo! Blood

Bear the pain please

Tie it up fast

Wait

Anna...!

A nail has pierced Sooravali akka's foot

Take it off her foot and nail her mouth

We are in this mess all because of her

Get lost!

Go, go eat and come back fast

You eat first, my dear

No, you eat, bro

- I'll rest a bit, bro - Okay, my dear

I don't mind dancing 48 hours continuously

God help me!

I can't cope with this

Lunch time over Come back to work

Bloody slave driver! He is squeezing us dry

Get up

Look at your slipshod work

Is this the size I told you?

Is this what you're capable of?

Tell me

Oh gawd!

Don't get hyper, he is saying we are so good

He is pleading, asking us to continue

He is just pleading a bit loudly, that's all

I'll fall at your feet Please don't react

Hey! Atom bomb!

Hurry up...rush

Kalaivani

Remove it

It has got stuck here Lift that plank...lift

Take that wooden plank

Are you alright, dear?

Push that plank aside

Kalaivani

Is my sister alright?

Kalaivani

My sister...be gentle

What happened?

What did you all do?

You bloody dogs have spoilt everything

How will I face my owner?

Where the hell did you find them?

Get out of here

Curse us all you want

But we want to go back home

Pay us

You've destroyed everything

Clear out

Don't ever land up here

How the hell did I get stuck with you?

Get lost!

They are not capable of any work You also get out

Don't come here again

You dare sob loudly after getting us into this mess

I didn't do anything

I was going about my work

She called me

So you will escape all by yourself, huh?

She messed up our job

We got 1 square meal and you mucked that up

All we can hear from now on is our stomachs grumble!

Can't sleep a wink with this gnawing hunger

Shut up and lie down

As if we ate 'biriyani' we can't even digest!

Adding fuel to the fire

Instead of bloody learning to dance, if only I knew to swim...

...I could have reached India swimming underwater!

Do you want the deep sea to erupt like a volcano?!

(cackling laughter)

Stuck with this whacko!

Wish I could pour molten lead into your mouth

How can you cackle even in this situation?

Who are they?

You can't sleep here

Get up

What blessed city is this!

Won't even let us sleep in peace

Clear out...go, go

Where do you want us to go? Chasing us with a vengeance

Hurry up

Bro, shall we call and tell father?

Your father?

My father reached Heaven long ago

I meant yours

We might as well join your father instead

Just shut your gob

Show me your feet

- Sit here - Okay, bro

You don't have a couple of bucks to buy us some bun and tea?

No, we don't

I'm feeling dizzy with hunger

Hey! Lilliput

Get me the make-up box

Get the drums and all the instruments

We'll do or die!

Whoever wants to go home come with me

Or else lie here and die

Where are you off to?

She is hatching some plot to get us into a soup again

If you go behind her trusting her brainwave...

...look over there Andaman jail

Saw that?

You'll be stuck in there lifelong

Doesn't matter

At least we'll get to eat porridge in jail

Sooravali

Seeing you dance, people here should borrow and pay us!

Akka...!

Sooravali

Move...move aside

Oh gawd! Sooravali

Look how much she's bleeding...her feet

Idiot! Why do you dance like a woman possessed!

First...make my uncle eat

If he has to be fed...

...I'll even dance naked

"Let birth in earthly forms cease"

"So my devoted love may increase"

"O Shiva, ashes white bedecked"

"Beauteous like lotus-flower red"

"Thou art my rare ambrosia essence"

"Amidst the assembly of Thy saints"

"Show Thy sacred grace radiantly"

"Take me and save me, your devotee"

"Save me from this earthly misery"

Uncle?

Uncle...?

I need to use the bathroom

"Of piety I'm void, nor bow at vision of Thy feet that glow;"

It is the ladies' toilet What are you doing here?

"My heart is dead, my lips are seal'd;- yet cause this 'birth' to cease, our Lord!"

"Thou art pearl and gem equivalent"

"Azure throated Lord, I utter my complaint:"

"So oft I've follow'd Thee, hereafter apart from Thee I bear not life, ever"

Hey! Let me warn all of you

If you tell my father the hassles we faced in Andaman...

Hey girl!

Did you dance on thorns in Andaman?

Your feet are full of sores?

God's own island...for sure!

How we danced and sang

You have no idea what disgrace we went through

Yov! Aren't you ashamed...?

Drinking with a female?

Shut up, you street dancer!

Hey! Clear out now

He is a dumb ass

What's wrong with your brains? Drunken dumbo!

I've got you medicine for your fever, right?

You're also drinking with him

Uncle...syrup and pills are like appetizers for me

Pour some more

Useless donkey!

She gets a little better and back to her old habits

The 'accompaniment' is advising!

Big shot!

My dear daughter-in-law to be 'Beedi' or cigarette...

...he doesn't smoke any of those?

You got high or what?

What are you asking whom?

Thought my uncle is worthless like you and me?

No, my dear

You melt thinking he is your be all and end all of life

Does he even give a damn?

Yes, of course

Only now his feelings are up to the toilet level!

Toilet?

Mr Father-in-law

This is between husband and wife

You shouldn't poke your nose in this

Understood?

Pour some more

I'm saying all this only for your good

If you pour him a little of this...

...he'll cough up all that's bottled in his heart

If I put you on a pedestal and drink with you as my equal...

...you'll let your tongue run, huh?

Hey! Loser-drummer!

This is your last warning

Hereafter if you ask me to pour booze...

...or set up females for my uncle

...I'll slice you into two

Hey daughter-in-law!

Give me the bottle and then go in a huff

Dumbass!

Drunken old man

Go and sleep sprawled on your stomach

1200...1300

I asked just for cow-skin and you've quoted a whole cow's rate!

Listen, Sannasi

All this is tender calf skin

If you beat a drum made out of this...

...ear drums of the listeners will be ripped apart!

I can give you 100 bucks discount for the skin

I won't reduce even 1 rupee more

Nowadays even if you give 1 rupee to a beggar...

...she will toss it on your face

Bill everything after reducing 150 bucks per piece

Hey Lilliput

As soon as we go, remind me to tighten the instruments' leather belts

Don't look back immediately

One chap has been watching us for many days

He seems very familiar But I'm unable to place him

Who are you? Why are you following us?

Tell me...who are you?

Don't hit me 1 minute

It's a very important matter

Everyone is watching us, bro

Let's go alone and talk about this, bro

Bro, this hotel serves good 'pongal'

Would you like to taste it?

No need all that

First let your 'pongal' boil over

I've seen all your programs I haven't missed even one

Okay, come to the point

I feel flustered to voice my thought, bro

Promise you won't thrash me?

I won't Tell me

Someone by name Sooravali dances in your troupe, no?

I lost my heart to her

I would like to marry her with your blessings, bro

My future is in your hands only

How dare you ask me this?

Let go of me

Let go please

Go...go...get lost

Wondered why the rat was following so shamelessly?

True to her name she ravages everyone like a tempest!

Madam

- Madam? - Who is it?

Greetings, ma

Is your shoulder aching?

Naturally it will hurt!

Yesterday he pickled a chap to pieces!

- He ran for his life - Why?

Elders from your family should discuss

Why should I come to your house?

I'll tell you my life story But please come home once

But please don't refuse, madam

Who did he want to marry?

My sister?

Then he would've agreed immediately

Though dark, that chap had a good physique

But do you know who he has flipped for?

Our Sooravali

That's why he got pounded to a pulp

Sooravali!

She's our lead dancer

All our customers ask only for her

That's why I said no and chased him away

As if she's Cleopatra!

What do I care who marries her!

Don't you act as if you don't care...!

Hey! Father-in-law

- What happened to her? - Father-in-law...?

- Mr Father-in-law...? - Don't know what happened

Why are you so flustered?

The love from the toilet has been flushed out in the open now!

Aiyaiyo!

"Praise be to Lord Vishnu Who resides in the 7 hills"

Who is the couple in this picture?

My employer's parents

Left him an orphan and reached God's feet

Welcome, madam

Please sit

Did I trouble you too much, madam?

Nothing of that sort

I have no kith and kin of my own to discuss this proposal with you

Didn't know what to do

You must know about me fully, right?

That's why I insisted you must visit me here

- Please don't mistake me - It's okay, sonny

Please empathize with my situation

I wish to lead a good life with wife and children

I spoke to Sannasi anna about it

He got mad at me

What are you thinking about?

Are you wondering how to trust an orphan as your son-in-law?

Oh no...nothing like that

Can you give me 2 days time?

Sure, you're right You need time to think

How can you decide off hand?

Discuss with your family

Take the right decision and let me know

You wanted to discuss something with me it seems

Yes, I did

I wanted to share this happy news

Don't know whose good deed it is

Sooravali has got a good alliance

Only if you're magnanimous, this will work out fine

I enquired about that boy thoroughly and only then gave him my word

How much longer will you make Sooravali dance and make money out of her?

Which dancer has lived well or died peacefully?

Let Sooravali at least lead a good life

How come each lice is as big as a bean!

What's up, Lilliput?

Sannasi anna asked you to come to the river bank

I believe he wants to tell you something important

Uncle...!

Hey my dear uncs...!

He's sitting over there...go

I believe you wanted to talk to me all alone

- You are getting old - True, uncle

Age is catching up with your mother too

Yes, uncle

How long can you remain single like this?

I agree, uncle

Good for you too if the right events happen at the right time

Yes, of course It should happen

Get married, consummate, have babies, pierce their ears

Name the babies, bring them up So much to look forward, uncle

- Will you let me talk? - Okay, go on

I believe a chap has been watching your dance shows for the past 2 years

As if 1 chap watched The whole town drooled!

Is that important now?

When are you marrying me? You tell me that first

Will you let me talk or not?

- Please tell me - Get your hands off of me

That chap who watched your dance

I believe he loves you Truly, madly, deeply

Not deriding you as a mere dancer, he refers to you with respect

He politely asked me to get you married to him

Not only that, he's the driver to the Deputy Collector

It's a Govt job Safe and secure

He earns more than 40000 per month

Don't mix your emotions with practical li-

Go...drown in the river and end up as a missing corpse

What happened?

You dare discuss another alliance for me?

Move aside

You dumbo dancer

Lady Luck is smiling on you And you're refusing a good life?

I don't want all that crap

If you want to marry me, do it

I'll remain a dancer rather than marry some creep

Don't even dream of becoming a marriage broker ever again

I'll slice you into pieces

I wanted to get Koti drunk Can't find him

Keeps running behind his sister all the time

Sannasi, you should not come here...go home

Pour for me too

Hey! Why do you want to get into this habit?

You're the only teetotal-

Pour, bro

You do the honors I don't want to be a sinner

Take small gulps

Damn you, dumbbell!

He is chugging it raw like this

Sooravali, come out I say

Why is he creating a ruckus?

Come out now

Are you drunk?

Yes, my dear distinguished dancer!

Don't, brother

You scum of the earth female!

You've got a groom like a king

And you dare curse me!

Who is he?

Govt officer

You want to marry me...

...and live on leftovers, huh?

Don't...listen to me

Don't get addicted to this wretched stuff

Let go

Are you even listening?

Get lost, you old man!

Give it to me

Give me the bottle

Don't drink that

Uncle, don't get into this habit

So many families are dependent on you

Why are you dependent on me?

Are you dependent on me?

Why should you be?

If you find a good groom just grab him and escape

Will any of you get a fine groom like this?

She has got one

Listen to me

Come rain or shine...

...he gets his salary promptly on the 1st of every month

You've been blessed like no one else

Are you acting pricey?

Bro, please...don't

What do you know? Yes or no...?

You've been dancing all these years

Has there been any change in your lifestyle so far?

Tell me

It's the same, stagnating

Why?

It's the bloody boon you were born with

A blessed life came of its own accord

You dare kick it away?

For your nature and knowledge, where can you find a better chap?

You drunken slob!

You think he is also like you?

He doesn't smoke or drink No bad habits whatsoever

You are refusing such a good alliance?

Have you ever spoken a few decent words ever?

Cuss words roll from your mouth like a sex starved bull!

Low caste sleezeball!

You are crossing all norms of decency

Shouldn't you measure your words?

Uncle, he's sober alright

Allow him to talk

I don't have anything more to say

Did the men who watched your dance worship you?

They only called you to sleep with them!

Why are you being so vulgar?

Sooravali, he's blabbering because he's high

Please don't take it to heart

When your son drinks...

...didn't I tell you he will pour his heart out?

Let him speak out

Don't listen to all this nonsense

Go to bed

Whatever he says I can take it

Hey...what...?

You're acting like you went around covered head to toe in a 'purdah'?

After all you are a strip dancer on the road!

Someone is actually respecting you as a woman today

And is dying to marry you

Instead why are you itching to run behind a wasted wastrel like me?

That is a mistake, I agree

I chased you with a lifelong itch!

What do you want me to do for you now?

Promise me on this deity that you will marry him

You should be well settled in life

Go ahead

You are God to me

What is the need for this mud and stone in-between?

Hahn?

"Let birth in earthly forms cease"

"So my devoted love may increase"

"O Shiva, garland of skulls decked"

"Glorious like lotus-flower red"

"Thou art my ambrosia essence"

"Amidst the assembly of Thy saints"

"Show Thy sacred grace radiantly"

"Take me and save me, Your devotee"

"Save me from this earthly misery"

They are about to tie the sacred knot

Sannasi anna is calling you

You call this a wedding function?

It is a funeral ritual

Go away!

"Of piety I'm void, nor bow at vision of Thy feet that glow;"

"My heart is dead, my lips are seal'd;- yet cause this 'birth' to cease, my Lord!"

"You are pearl and gem equivalent"

"My lord Omnipotent I utter my complaint"

"So oft I've follow'd you, hereafter apart from you, I bear not life, ever"

Hey...!

Why are you sitting there?

Not gone to hold the lamp when they make out?

Think you are a cinema hero?

Blockhead!

Sitting here after sacrificing your life

A woman's curse won't spare you

It won't

Looks very cloudy Think it will rain?

Yes, the rain will cancel the 50 or more programs we have booked

Come to the point

You spoke of the weather! Tell us now

What's happening? Biting each others' heads off!

We are not being booked like earlier, anna

All our village folk play some randy film songs

They get the girls to dance and watch with dropped jaw lines!

Where did you watch that sickening show?

As if I have to go and see it in person

They keep telecasting it in a loop in our local cable TV

You bet he's right

You have no idea The girls are most wanted

Holy cow!

Shall we let our women dance like that too?

He didn't mean it like that

Our women can earn by the '100 days' Govt scheme

We are the ones unable to beat the drum or drink

- Withdrawal symptoms! - What should I do?

If you bend a little it will be good for us

What does 'bend a little' mean?

They are all worried you will lose your temper

Wait, I say!

Why should he lose his temper?

Listen, anna

After Sooravali left us, we haven't got any booking

They are looking for dancers in Pudhukottai, Aranthangi

At this rate, we will all be begging in the streets

You were the one who got Sooravali married to Karuppaiyah

You go and ask Karuppaiyah to allow Sooravali to dance now and then

I'll break your skull to pieces

She is happy and well settled as a home maker

You want me to bring her back to the roads to dance?

So...my sister can be on the road, huh?

Hey! Why are you raising your voice?

Sannasi, he sounds reasonable too

Why don't you ask just once?

What is this wish of yours to ask or mask?

You licked my feet like a puppy during our good times

What's your problem now?

If you're born a man you need to be grateful, boy

You bet I'm a grateful dog

That's why I'm here during your tough times

Pattukottai Ganapathy asked me to join his troupe

And offered to pay me 4 times what you pay me

Did I ditch you?

If he called you, why the hell didn't you go, scumbag?

Hey! This is for all your ears

Whoever wants to go right ahead!

I can't take each of you on a piggyback ride!

Bro, don't be in a huff

He is himself drowning in depression

I thought we could be diplomatic You messed it up like a pig

We've got this chance after 3 months

You may have to dance all night through

We won't shirk work

You beat your hour glass drum!

You seem to a big time fraud

We trusted you and made all these preparations

You're saying this after taking advance from us

That Sooravali won't be dancing

Now you say she's married and isn't in your troupe

Is Sooravali the only dancer you'll watch?

We have other dancers too like Tempest, Cyclone, Atom bomb

They will also dance as well as Sooravali, sir

Hey! Did I book you to look at these mis-shapen faces!

I thought you'll be as upright as your father

You're behaving so cheap

I'll write off the advance as a donation to the temple

I don't want anything more to do with you...just go

I should slipper my head for trusting you!

"People will throng in herds here"

"To see our dance, my dear"

"I brought scented jasmine plenty"

"To anoint your braids dainty"

"The way you tap your feet sensuously the crowd should cheer continuously"

"The way you sway your hips many a heartbeat will skip"

"All the people being entertained will pat our backs unrestrained"

"Let seeds of desire flow Let the flames of passion grow"

"The way you tap your feet intently the crowd should whistle intensely"

"The way you sway your body, dear will induce a rush of adrenaline here"

Goodness gracious!

Soooooper, my princess

After falling for your beauty

After flipping for your voice sexy

After looking at your throat so slender

Then...?

After drooling ove-

Hey! Enough Stop with that

You don't have to see anything more, I'm telling you

No, my dear

If one wants to marry...

...the bride should be a glam-doll like you only

Otherwise...

...turn that Adam upside down-

And...?

One single bite

Bite what?

Adam's apple of course, dear

Okay...sing a song from a film now

Whose song shall I sing?

Our 'Young Commander' Vijay'

"I have booze to intoxicate you Stage is set to more play anew"

"A fleshy chick to marinate to please your tastebuds-palate"

"I have it capped well Sheathed to swell"

"Got a blade for a song just for Rs 1.50 Shaved for the feast and ready"

Yov! What are you saying?

I meant the chicken, girl

Don't we need to cook it?

In your town, will you shave a 'chicken' with a blade?

I don't like this song

Shall I sing a song from a film starring our 'Singham' 6-pack Suriya?

"When love enters the play zone my pant has a mind of its own"

"It strips to tease Hangs out to please"

I don't like Suriya's song either

Then you sing a song

Whose song?

His father Sivakumar's song from 'Sindhu Bairavi'

"I know not lessons or teacher"

"I haven't stepped into school either"

Here I come!

"I know not alleys, bushes or shrub Nor round pots to rub or scrub"

"Know not hunger or taste either"

"Know not the size down under of the stuffed fritter"

Aiyo! I feel sorry for you

Did he run away without telling us to sing these bloody vulgar songs?

"Play 'Mankatha' and gamble Don't blow your whistle"

"Don't glare at me, you imp Of its own accord it has gone limp"

Sing a song from Kamal Haasan's film

"Did she pounce like a stray dog on me?"

"Did she lift one leg to pee?"

"To relieve the biting cold of January Roaming rigid and randy, hungry"

"Like a spoon in a honey pot Stuck like glue in the G-spot"

"Get lost...you Do-little"

"You're a bottle of soda without any fizz, da"

"You wimp...you wuss!"

"You'll hang yourself in a noose"

Rajinikanth's song please

"My heart is pure gold, no doubt"

"When I see a chick, it hangs out"

"My head, you lout!"

"We'll revel in making out All rules we will flout"

"Fit like lock and key Play hookie or a quickie"

"Why were you and I born and raised, dearie?"

"To wipe the tears of these souls who writhe and roll in sorrows sore"

"Good explanation from your lips Now show it in your heels and hips"

"I got it into my head at last So sing it out loud and fast"

"Oh yes...do it"

"Tear it to bits"

"Wow!"

"Holy cow!"

"Raise it...tilt"

"Turn and twist"

Jam packed crowd, no?

You there!

- Come here - Who is it?

Bro, it is our Sannasi anna

You're right

How are you, anna?

How is your father?

How are you?

As good as can be!

Anna...?

What are you up to?

Singing songs so suggestively

That too with your sister!

It's disgusting and repulsive to watch

My sweetie pie, go home have dinner and sleep

I'll talk to them and come

See you

Baby, make sure you lock the door

What are you protecting by just locking the door?

Shameless slob!

Just hear me out, bro

Take your hands off me!

Bloody...can't even digest it

What do you want me to do?

We don't know any other way of earning money

So...?

She is also like a sister to me

Thinking of it, I feel like puking

Just words, that's all

Don't we eat in front and crap from the back?

Like that we are pouring words out

The men who drool get turned on and pay us

Shouldn't there be a decorum?

Yes, who is denying it?

This decorum is only for the life we lead

I know heart of hearts

That we came out of the same mother's uterus

I am not doing this only for a livelihood

I must find a good groom for my dear sister

I have to earn for that to happen

Didn't you harden your heart and get Sooravali well settled in life?

I am doing the same

I bundled up my shame and remorse

Like uncle said now I'm leading a disgraceful life

Try to understand me

Let me be I'll somehow manage

Forget my plight How is your father?

How is your business doing?

What does he lack? Usual, in his own world

Our business is stinking to high Heaven!

You can play any instrument to kingdom come

The crowd gathers only to drool at the dancers

Even then they don't appreciate the dance per se

They discuss the rate only looking at the dancer

We'll make ends meet only if we get better looking females

Bro...!

You have no shame?

Don't you know what to talk and when?

Anna, don't you worry

I've made many contacts now

Let's get hold of 1 crowd-pulling dancer

I'm telling you

Leave it to me I'll handle it

Her name is Chinna Ponnu I haven't seen her dance

But I have heard of her

She is very famous in that area it seems

Even if the rate is a little above our budget, let's fix her, okay?

Old man! Where does dancer Chinna Ponnu live here?

Where is Chinna Ponnu's house?

Chinna Ponnu, huh? Raji, get my shirt please

Let me show the boys Chinna Ponnu's house and-

Shut up and sit down

Drooler!

Go and ask in that corner over there

Even a street dog will show you the way!

The name 'female' and your adrenaline rushes!

Anna, she is sitting out there

Baby, go inside

He sent her inside

Wait, he will call her out again

What do you want?

'Aiyah'...your daughter-

What is this outdated 'aiyah'?

Learn to call me 'sir'

Alright, sir

Sit down

Did you come to book for a show?

Yes, sir

Let me have a word with my wife

Okay, sir

Sweetheart, come out for a minute

Coming, dear

Shall we have a frank chat?

Okay, sir

To send her for this dance program only Idithangi has a problem

First he has to agree

In case Chinna Ponnu dances...

...trying to hold her hand or pinch her waist at the first chance

Clicking a photo in a cell phone

No such hanky-pankiness

- Did you get it? - Yes, sir

Our family is so self disciplined

You shouldn't think after all Chinna Ponnu is just a dancer

And take her for granted

She is as innocent as a toddler

Got it?

If any such fooling around happens...

...Idithangi will erupt like a volcano, beware!

We assure you she'll be safe, sir

She is also like our daughter, sir

How much will you pay for a show?

If we can see Chinna Ponnu once face to face, we can tel-

What do you mean 'see face to face'?

You were seeing me face to face all along!

Want to see me in a crooked angle?

Here you go And this side!

Are you that 'young girl' called 'Chinna Ponnu'?

Yours truly!

Who is that 'thunder bearer' Idithangi?

Yours strongly!

Chinna Ponnu's 3rd husband

Idithangi sir, if you can bear this thunder thighs...

...you can beat Atlas hollow!

- My family deity! - Bless you, my boy

Get up...get up

Yesterday was Chinna Ponnu fiasco What's your agenda today?

The dancer you'll see today

Not just her face

Her stomach will be soft as the dough for 'parotta'

Somehow by God's grace...

...our art and our artistes should be blessed bountifully

That is my only wish

What do you want now?

My daughter should dance in this gentleman's troupe?

- That's all? - Yes

But...there are a few conditions for her to perform

Feel free to list them out

Condition #1

We will come straight to the venue

We won't huddle into a van with your other members

We travel only by car

That too in an air conditioned car

Must pay that travel fare separately

Condition #2

We don't want what you cook

We need a special cuisine

Most important, 1 hair dresser

1 costumer

1 make up man

We will bring 3 'ajjistants'

Their wages are separate

That should also be given to me

No big deal at all!

When all and sundry demand a king's ransom...

...your daughter is like a sweet potato

Whatever you say will be worth it

But the gentleman is silent?

He's a naive youngster What does he know?

My decision is final

I'll fix the program and keep you posted

Give me your phone number

But don't distribute the number to everyone

VIPs will pester me nonstop

I can't even have a good night's sleep

I don't know if Sannasi will agree to this

I'll try to convince him Otherwise-

What will you do?

Fall at his feet No other go

Take this money, sonny

How did you get this? Who gave you?

Forgive me, sonny

For the 1st time, I took advance without consulting you

So what? What is the function?

Where and when?

Today

We must leave right now For conferring a title

What title?

Be loud and clear

Heavenly title!

Funeral dance

That's what he is beating around the bush to you

You think I learnt this skill for so long to dance in front of a corpse?

Sannasi, give a thought to our plight

Today is the 2nd day in the month of Aadi

No auspicious events for 28 more days

Thanks to our Chief minister 'Amma' we can eat even if we don't perform

What about medical aid if our children fall sick?

You brought me also to this miserable existence!

Okay, all of you take your share in that amount

God knows what she will say to dance for a funeral?

"My husband he'll always be For me and me only"

"I thought he belonged only to me"

Hello...who is it?

I came with Koti the other day

I remember, tell me

We've finalized a program

You need to leave immediately

Also...the dance is for a funeral

I feel bad asking you

Why should you hesitate, lad?

Even if my husband dies if she is paid to dance...

"You cry coming out of your mother's womb You cry when your loved ones die too"

"You cry coming out of your mother's womb You cry when your loved ones die too"

Is the juice ready?

"You wade through life worrying away Man, you forgot to laugh even for a day"

Stop the music

Switch off that damn song

For the cursed life he led all we need is a lament song!

Lowlife!

Look at his 3 wives, waiting for his assets to pass into their hands

Just play a film song and take him to the graveyard

"His life begins in a woman's womb He lives to the fullest and ends in a tomb"

"In a mother's womb a man begins his birth Finally he is buried into Mother earth"

"Give it a thought conscientiously Don't let anger in your heart senselessly"

"His life begins..."

"A man's life begins in a woman's womb After ups and downs, he ends in a tomb"

My dear...beloved

Why did you die so young?!

If you truly love me tell me the truth please

Why did you bless me with this blame as a widow?

"One who tramples love on the whole"

"His antics won't last at all O' girl with the enlightened soul"

"One who kills love on the whole"

"His tricks won't last at all O' girl with the enlightened soul"

"One who clings to sorrow anyway Is ready to carry come what may"

"Will he listen to your wisdom, o' girl? Tell me, you with the enlightened soul"

My dear, please tell me, why Lord Yama is taking you in such a hurry?

What did you do so wrong, dear that you no longer belong here?

"His wrong doing was the wrong he did to wrong all along"

"He took life in his stride, girl You with the enlightened soul"

"Even if you lament in distress Flustered, perturbed, in stress"

"Is he of use any longer, o' girl? You know best, my dear wise soul"

Aiyo! You left me all alone Where has your breath gone?

I can hear your words no more

You moron! Where is all your property? I should be your only beneficiary!

"The God who blessed took it back today Lord Shiva the destroyer spirited him away"

"The one who blessed him with life on earth spirited him away for what it is worth"

"Even though he had a good wife good looks and no strife"

"Eyes strayed, he himself ruined his life"

"God gave him a long rope Then took back this romeo-dope!"

"From land to land he fled No-good wretched life he led"

"He left his wives 3 in abject misery"

"Now that his breath expelled his funeral rites are being held"

"The one who blessed him with life on earth spirited him away for what it is worth"

Did the all-compassionate Almighty take your soul away from me?

"He didn't stick to 1 wife faithfully"

"Such a fickle man was he"

"He didn't stick to 1 woman loyally Such a three-timer was he"

"His 3 wives stand shaken widowed and forsaken"

"His final journey he's being led with a single coin on his forehead"

"The one who blessed him with life on earth spirited him away for what it is worth"

"This man trapped in hell of his own doing as well"

"Why does he need a wife, dearie?"

"Why should he even marry?"

"This wretched cheat caught in his web of deceit"

"Why does he need a wife, dearie?"

"Why should he even marry?"

"Not right to praise a man in fact who left his wife and child bereft"

"Not right to praise this man on the bier who left his wife and child in tears"

"He shouldn't be forgiven, my dear"

"This man trapped in hell of his own doing as well"

"Why does he need a wife, dearie?"

"Why should he even marry, tell me?"

Bro, give it to that man

Here...'aiyah'

This is from the salary of the Dance King, huh?

Please accept it without ridiculing him

You bloody mongrel!

He danced in a funeral

Hey! Get him an aluminum plate

Tie anklets to his feet

Let him whip himself with a lash

Ask him to dance where 3 roads meet

Passersby will throw coins at his performance

Pick up the coins, scavenger scums!

Sir, your son is already a broken down man

He didn't want to dance in this funeral at all

I compelled him, telling him how much our folks are suffering

Oh! You are the instigator, huh?!

You call yourself a man And sport a moustache!

You are not qualified to touch any of these musical instruments

Yes, his songs turned deserts into green fields

And in turn green fields developed into cities!

Just shut up and drink

Bro, don't take his words too much to heart

Eat your dinner

They must have offered food and drinks...

...to God in the graveyard

Why didn't you eat there?

Listen to me, Swamypulavan, who introduced you to music

You won't prosper at all

How well did you prosper?

You bragged you will sing and play your drum too

Which temple or wedding hall allowed you to sing or play your drum?

Didn't they treat you worse than a street dog?

You're boasting as if you taught me the encyclopedia of music!

Whatever music you taught me is equal to donkey's poop!

If I played what you taught me when I was a kid...

...like you I'll also be a degenerated soul

I might be a degenerated soul but I am Swamypulavan the musical genius

I am not a scumbag like you who eats whatever crap is dished out!

Bullshit! You call yourself a musical genius

I'll bash you with my slipper

The booze you're drinking now is my sweat that you call left over!

The food you eat is the alms I dole out to you

If you utter 1 more word...

...I will clobber you and break your teeth

Whatever it is he is a genius

When he's already frustrated his talent is not recognized...

...you as his son, shouldn't have spoken like this

You tolerated all these years and now lost your cool

If my son spoke to me like this I would've hanged myself to death

You made a big blunder, lad

I couldn't take it any more

After my mother gave birth to me and died...

...from when I remember, he took care of me singlehanded

He taught me everything he knew

But I can't make ends meet with all that alone

As if I wanted to dance at a funeral!

I had no choice

He doesn't seem to understand my plight

Why are you sobbing like a baby?

Get up

Get up Listen to me

Try and get some sleep

Let me talk to him for just 2 minutes

It's my daughter's life

Show some mercy

You are a real pain

- I don't want any complaints - Move...move aside

- Sir? - What's the matter?

I got my daughter married to your driver Karuppaiyah

For the past 6 months I've been looking for them

I don't know any Karuppaiyah who is working for me

My son-in-law told me he works for you

You'll believe whatever anyone tells you

Shouldn't you enquire all this?

Don't worry, go and search You'll find them for sure

Sir...where will I go and look for them?

Sir...?

Please let this concert be your best Our guests are all world celebrities

Then who am I?

Even the Governor from Australia is here

Music is his life

He is very eager to listen to a good concert

I immediately thought only of you

Your health is fine?

I hope your voice has the same strength

Switch off that lousy music I know what to do

"Even if with hurdles I suffer; if my sickness continues forever"

"Lord of the cemetery I surrender to You completely"

"In my earthly life or on my death bed Even in the depths of disasters tread"

"From Your roseate feet I will never retreat"

"Like Lord Vishnu reclines in the milky ocean divine"

"In Lord Shiva's locks braided sparkles the moon, the river-maid"

"In Lord Shiva's braided locks the crescent moon docks"

"My little heart is the sanctum Resides the Lord in its atrium"

"Isn't His presence this musical essence?"

"Isn't it the truth, tell me that touches a chord in You deeply?"

"Where did you come from or to? Same question applies to me too"

"Music has entwined us in harmony"

"Ordained you to be seated before me"

"Born in a village insignificant Live in a hut with comforts scant"

"All these in what way will affect me today?"

"Like a clear blue sky cloudless Crystal clear water colorless"

"Like a spring in a gushing spree will flow rushing all over me"

"This time you have set aside To you is a necessary respite"

"Immersed in this music your senses swim euphoric"

"Though the song is short it is ambrosia, balm to the heart"

"What is life, or music, tell me? For me, both merge as one truly"

"My little heart is the sanctum Resides the Lord in its atrium"

"Isn't His presence this musical essence?"

"Isn't it the truth, tell me that touches a chord in you deeply?"

I don't know your language

But I got the meaning of what you sang

My mind is like a temple

Only music is the God in its sanctum

He says this is what you sang

Tell him he got it right

Aiyaiyo!

Hey! Vaanday

I did this for your father My old time friend

Showing off your affluent temerity?

This is my tribute to your music sense

Bloody dancers on the street

Come out...all of you

What's wrong?

My beloved son

Your father won

Father...?

"Any festive occasion in the village my folks inaugurate with our art vintage"

"We must live in a corner with basic needs whatever"

"When Goddess of music Saraswathi blesses me graciously"

"The deity here will in a silent shroud like a witness watch from the crowd"

"My contented heart, flawless like the sky's expanse endless"

"Throws aside wants or vices Robed in honesty survives"

"On this earth specifically what do I look for specially?"

"I have no expectations indeed What else do I need?"

"My little heart is the sanctum Resides the Lord in its atrium"

"Isn't His presence this musical essence?"

"Isn't it the truth, tell me that touches a chord in You deeply?"

What?

I brought food for my brother

'Brother', huh?'

Did you feed him all these days?

How can you be so rude to me?

Our 'aiyah' died

For 3 days how can he step out till the rituals are done?

That's why I brought him food

Am I a stranger, uncle?

Then what? You are so pleased your daughter is well settled now

Has she looked in on us after she got married?

At least she could have come to the funeral to pay her respects?

She'll shed crocodile tears and get her way in everything

It is a sin to even look at her face

Hey! Let's get out of here

She is taking all of us for a royal ride

Sooravali may be angry with me, I agree

My father called her 'daughter-in-law' and loved her heart and soul

She didn't visit him when he was hale and hearty

At least she could have dropped in to pay her last respects now

You of all people should not misunderstand Sooravali

I agreed to this alliance and forced you to accept

It's many months since I myself saw my daughter you know

Right from the name Karuppaiyah everything is false about him

Why didn't you tell me this earlier?

How could I face you?

I already convinced you to agree...

...to my daughter marrying that wretched fellow

The whole colony is mad at me

Sooravali...Sooravali...?

What is all this?

Whose house is this?

How are they related to you?

Your mother is concocting all kinds of tales there

What's happening?

Where is he?

HEY! Who are you?

Who are you?

How did you come in here?

Karuppaiyah...!

Karuppaiyah...!!

Come here, man

Save me, Karuppaiyah

Don't worry...it's alright

Calm down I will handle her

Karuppaiyah, I'm scared

Don't end up dead with your stupid fear!

I need you to get some work done

Why do you howl as if you are a virgin?

Don't scream and bring the roof down

I told you to stop screaming

Go and check what he is doing

Drag her up

Careful, Karuppaiyah

You married her for my sake Please don't harm her

If she dies, I'll get caught

If she was after money...

...she would've come the moment I called her

Wretched female! I had no other go but to marry her

For your sake for 6 months...

...I sacrificed my self-respect

Your job is done, right? When will you finish mine?

Everyone has signed including me

Tomorrow I'll get the Collector's signature

You'll get the document in your name

Please don't harm that girl

Go and get the signature first

Don't...don't do this to me

Please don't

I told you I would file a case in the Goondas Act

And send them in for a while

Why are you tonsuring their heads?

Officer, back off

Don't I know?

They ganged up to make money by running a brothel behind my back

How underhand can they get!

Whatever they may have done it's a sin to tonsure ladies' heads

Even after they come out on bail...

...the spunk to start on their own

...not only for these sluts

No female working for me should think this way

Hey compounder! You look drained out?

Mind your business

Hey, take them away

Get up, we can leave now

My dear chaste maidens!

Take your tresses with you

What happened?

I got a scan done

It's a girl baby again!

Aiyo!

Okay, proceed with the abortion

Sir, she has already had 3 abortions

I don't know if her body can take it

What can I do?

My client’s wife is unable to bear a child

If he wants her to be the surrogate mother...

...she carries to full term only girl babies

But he is hell-bent on wanting a boy baby

I have no say in this matter

Abort it...abort it

What if something happens to my daughter's life?

Fate dictates

If she survives this bring her back

We'll get her full fledged into our business

Don't keep howling here

Take her away

Please come

The astrologer has come from Chettiar's house

That priest, huh? Ask him to come up

He wants you to come down

Look at that!

What is it, my dear Leelavathy?

Standing scared as if you just now attained puberty?

- Who is this? - She's my junior in college

Willing to do this for pocket money

Pocket money?

But no plateaux, all plains!

She is as flat as a pancake

My customers prefer egg fritters

Ask her to get injected and become well endowed

She should not exchange any contact details with my customer

Everything has to be only through us

I've already briefed her

Give your number and go

Priest sir, you won't come inside, huh?

Untouchable...?

Where are we going?

Sshhhh!

Is Chettiar also showing an avid interest in women?

Loaded that he is he can even get...

...heroine Nayantara with the click of his fingers

Why send for me?

At least now share your open secret

- Let sir come - How many ssshhh...?

(reciting a prayer)

All your blessings, appuchi

He's the chap I told you about

Whatever I ask he says 'ssshhhh'

At least you tell me without being embarrassed

Do you want a red ripe fruit or a tender green one?

You know very well

The wealth and assets sir has inherited...

...is all over the world

I know, of course

The true 'Universal hero' is our 'appuchi' of course

You discuss the terms with him

He huffs and you shut me up with your constant shhhhh!

Come straight to the point

Sir's only daughter died very young

He can't leave all this wealth without any heir

His Chettiar community usually adopts, right?

True, he can do so

But each relative is playing politics insisting his child must be adopted!

Appuchi is strong as an ox Why can't he have a child?

Aachi, his wife is too old to have a baby now

According to sir's horoscope...

...only a girl child should be born as his successor

Yov! Priest sir!

I have a readymade one who is 4 months pregnant

I just told her to abort

Shall I cancel the abortion and deliver that baby for appuchi?

Very important is the baby should be born from sir's semen

In a woman's uterus...

...sir's sperm should be injected and she should bear the fetus

Carry it to full term and deliver a healthy baby

I've heard of saving a child by selling one's property

But you're selling the sperm and planning to save the property

Well thought of...well done!

This is right up my alley

But if appuchi puts his mind to it he can buy a hospital and do this

Of course, he can

Only we should know the baby is sir's heir

But to the world he will claim he adopted her

So you need someone to do this hush-hush job

That's why you picked me, right?

Now you've got it crystal clear

Your mind ignites as quick as camphor!

Enough pats on my back

How much will you pay?

Maximum 2

20 million, right?

I'll arrange in such a way appuchi himself is spellbound

Don't worry

I'll home deliver all items like pizza and burger

In all shapes and sizes

Diabetes, asthma, thyroid

No such hereditary diseases

Your baby will be...

...like the avatar of Goddess Lakshmi

Not 1 but all 8 avatars combined

Then indulge me with an extra 5 million

Astrologer, don't bargain with him

Clinch the deal

How is this chick?

She is strong as teak wood

- Egg...? - Huh?

Ova!

Very strong

You can even get a dinosaur's egg

But her ova?

Is peerless and priceless!

All that is fine

The baby should be delivered only on the day, date and time I indicate

Shouldn't even miss a second

Because that's the key to sir's longevity of health

And sustenance of his wealth

Remember that

I was convinced I was giving you a good life

I was tricked listening to your mother

I got conned

Shouldn't you have torn the liver of that sleazeball and come back home?

Even if anyone raises their voice a tiny bit...

...you'll attack like Goddess Kali

How did you agree to this?

What do you want me to do?

Instead of wilting away as a whore...

...this seemed lot better

Hey! Who are you?

What is your name?

'Sanyasi' as in a sage or 'Paradesi' a wanderer?

How did you come in?

Flash back, huh?

You heard the full story?

Let go of me

Did you ask him to come here?

Answer

Don't...please let her go

Don't hurt her She's in her final month

Let go of her, please

Is this how you keep an eye on her?

Please don't hurt her

Do you want him to live?

Get into the car without a whimper

Take her along

- How did he get in? - I don't know, bro

He should not move an inch from here till I am back

Do you get it?

Where are you taking her?

If he opens his mouth, pound and send him to his grave

I'll tell you later whether to bury or cremate him

Hey! Turn on the air-conditioner

Poor pregnant lady Her eyes are sweating

Have you left?

On the way

It's getting late, sonny

Don't delay

7:30 sharp

It isn't even dawn as yet

You said 7:30 a.m

Everything will go as per plan

7:30...7:30

Is 7:30 the time or Saturn's malefic effect?

Is the doctor here?

I can't do anything now

It isn't safe to deliver the baby now

Why?

The placenta is attached too firmly to the uterine wall

Whatever I do now life is at stake

Which life?

One of the 2 lives

I am only concerned about the junior life

Bring the baby out at the prescribed time

You paid me I did what you asked me to

I can't risk losing my job

She does this routine job for me What's got into her suddenly?

The old dean used to turn a blind eye

The new dean now is Father Fernandez

He'll take even the Pope's cap off and rap him on his head

He won't be lenient

What do we do now?

All that's fine It can be done, right?

Why not?

Doctor is needed only for his signature

We are the ones who do everything else

We are so adept at ripping the liver, heart and kidneys out

Is it such a big deal to take a baby out?

The astrologer

Has the doctor arrived?

I'm talking to the chief doctor

Don't worry

But getting the anaesthetist is your job

Hey! Where will we find him?

Bro, come

What now?

Where is she?

However much I beat him up, he butts like a bull in the temple

Pound him to a pulp and bury him in the back yard!

Okay, bro

I took this risk only for your sake

No one should know I did this

- Warn him too - I'll handle it

Gently...gently

Put the body here

This isn't a body

Okay, sir Patient

Satisfied?

Transfer her here

Don't get drunk and mess this up

You shouldn't be so rude

Will you tell the surgeon this?

Is this khaki shirt so demeaning?

You need the baby alive and kicking

I'll split this jackfruit with utmost care

And give you the pod separately

Enough...?

Go...go

Wait, I say

There's a right time for everything

I'll go out and whistle Then do the needful

Understood?

Okay...okay, leave

He rattles away much more than a doctor!

Forget it

The talented man always jabbers nonstop

'...is equal to 1000 Holy names of Lord Vishnu'

On the dot at 7:30, we will take sir's heiress out

Nothing to worry

Glory to God!

When will I get my payment?

I have the check ready

Check...?

Don't try these tactics with me

I fed and took care of her for 10 months

A lone man's hard work

With the money you give me...

...am I a sucker to pay 25% as tax to the Govt?

Not bad

A mere drummer has guts enough to kill my man

Where is she?

Arnold has come from America

Go and receive him

Nothing to worry A bandicoot barged in

Where is she?

I won't tell you

He told me he would whistle

No sound at all

Are they flat out piss drunk?

Where is she?

Alright

Let me whistle and begin

Hey! Who are you?

Why did you come in here?

Sooravali...?

Sooravali...?

Why were you born in this folk dancing community?

I gave you away only because I wanted you to be happy

He has reduced you to this state
