ALANGANALLUR
MADURAI DISTRICT

-Sir, I mistook you for an auto driver!
-Oh, really?

You were so intoxicated you couldn't tell

an auto driver from a policeman, huh?

Whoop him!

Teach him a lesson he'll never forget!

Sir…

Spare me, sir!

We have a missing case, sir.

Ask them to come in.

-You may go in, ma'am.
-Now talk.

I dare you to.

What? Booze made you go blind?

-Please, sir! Let me go! It hurts!
-Go on, answer me!

-You drink till you lose control…
-Ma'am?

Let go of my hair, sir!

You can see me reading
a case file, Manick Brother.

Why don't you attend to their case?

Oh, come on, ma'am!

Be seated.

Anand!

Take him inside and
beat him to a pulp. Go!

Such a nuisance this is becoming.

Yes, ma'am. Tell me.

What are you reporting as missing?

My husband, sir.

What?

Are you serious?

How long has it been?

Since 10 a.m., sir.

-He hasn't returned ever since.
-This morning?

Yeah.

Ma'am.

It's only 9 now and the shops
will close around 10 PM.

He should be back by 10:30 or 11:00.
So don't worry and get home.

And even if he doesn't come,

then he'll be back in the morning.

And when you ask him about it,
he will surely lie through his teeth

with the most absurd excuses.
You don't fall for it, though.

-Men like him love to ogle at other--
-Woah, woah!

My husband isn't that kind of a person!

-For 27 years--
-Ma'am, woah! Wait!

Why are you yelling?
The inspector's inside.

-So talk softly.
-Sir!

My husband's missing
and I have my doubts on someone.

Are you going to take my complaint or not?

Hold on, ma'am. I will take it.

Please do then.

You didn't have to get so upset.

Writer, take down her complaint.

You may go, ma'am.

Take your seat, ma'am.

Your name, please?

Shakunthala.

Your husband's name?

Sekaran.

And who do you suspect, ma'am?

A person named Thyagu.

Where is he from?

From Karimedu, Madurai.

Is that the loan shark who uses
property as collateral for loans?

That's him, sir.

Don't pin your hopes
on getting it back. You won't.

Why not?

I asked you why.

That guy takes pleasure
in wanting others' property.

Being a retired registrar officer,

he knew how to claim
unregistered lands for himself,

taking advantage of those without heirs,

and grabbing land from people
he knew couldn't resist.

This sort of behavior is second nature to him.

He's invincible with politicians on his side.

Of course, scoundrels like him have their support.

That's true, sir. But…

Go on, ma'am.

For my daughter's wedding, we borrowed
seven lakhs from someone named Seenikannu.

We planned to pay off the debt
with the gift money.

But they imposed the second lockdown
two days before the wedding.

Nothing went as per plan.

Listen. I know you're honest, Sekaran.

That is why I lent it to you
without hesitation.

You promised to pay me back
after the wedding, didn't you?

It's already the 8th
and I haven't received it yet.

Either you pay up, or things will get ugly.

Why are you being disrespectful?

We've already paid the principle amount of two lakhs

and he still pays the monthly interest.

-What more do you want?
-Yeah, right. Like it's enough.

You still have two months
of interest to pay up.

And that literally amounts to nothing!

Please allow us a little more time.

-I'll somehow pay it up little by lit--
-What, little by little?

When you knew how to borrow a whole sum,

why would I expect you
to repay it in small amounts?

Don't you dare try to be smart with me.

I need you to pay off both
the interest and the remaining debt!

Please don't be angry with us.

I'll beg, borrow, or steal
and settle your dues somehow.

Who's going to give you a loan
when your house is already mortgaged?

You only get tomorrow.

If I don't receive it,
you'd see the worst of me.

Come along, boys.

We couldn't gather enough by the end of that day.

Next day, Seenikannu brought
along 'Karimedu' Thyagu.

Your time's up, Sekaran.

I can't offer you more grace time.

-Can't you give me at least ten days?
-Hey!

That's a lot of time.

Do this instead.

Both of you write off
the property on Ring Road to me.

You get only ten minutes for that.

Are you threatening us?

Don't assume I'd fall for it.

I agree, Seeni, that I borrowed money from you.

I'll repay you by any means.
You have the right to question me.

-Why bring an outsider--
-You! How dare you call him an outsider?!

Boys!

Can't you see how brave he is?

Why will he be frightened of you two?

Also, didn't you marry your girl off to Dindugal?

Yeah, so?

18/23, Ramanujam Street, Lakshmi Nagar…

Is the address right?

Look here.

My men are at their doorstep.

You spent lakhs on her
to get her married, right?

What will happen of her when they enter inside?

Go in, Rose!

Sir, sir!

Sir…

I'm begging you, sir!

Please ask them not to go in!

You only have two minutes left.

If I don't disconnect in two minutes,
you barge in, Rose!

Sir, sir!

Hang on.

Dear?

Dear!

I'll be back, sir.

You fool.

You'd borrow a load of cash
and then try to act too cool.

Think about what it would be like
if we, the lenders, lost our cool?

Dear…

Here, sir.

Sign, both of you.

When you repay the principal of five lakhs
plus three lakhs in interest,

making it a total of eight lakhs within six months,

your property documents will be returned to you.

Let's leave.

Tomorrow marks the end
of that six-month period, sir.

We maintained a chit fund
of five lakhs just for this.

He got the eight lakhs needed after claiming it,

along with some money from the bank,

and left saying he'd return
along with the documents.

He still hasn't…

Ma'am…

Nothing would've happened to him.

We'll search for him.

-When did he leave the house?
-Around 10 a.m., sir.

Did he call you upon reaching?

No, sir. But I tried calling him.

-Hello?
-Shaku dear!

-Tell me, my love.
-I'll leave you two lovebirds alone.

-Who was that?
-I met Yogi on the way.

I asked him for some money,
so he came over to give it to me.

And so, I…
Mani, add that to my tab, please.

Alright. Did you withdraw the money?

I got the money from the bank and Iyyappan.

The money is ready to settle the payment.

He gave 4.6 L; he 50,000,
and I withdrew the rest from the bank.

Everything's sorted.

Why don't you pay it off
and come home with the documents?

About that, I reached out to him.

It seems they want me to come to their place.

They asked me to be there by 4 p.m. over call.

I waited for his call after getting it back…

But he didn't!

I called him again at 6 p.m.

but his phone was switched off.

I then received a call from him at 9 p.m.

Hello?

I couldn't hear him on the other end.
Hello? You there, dear?

Hello?

When I dialed again,

it was switched off.

-Manickam?
-Yes, sir?

-Take in her complaint.
-Okay, sir.

You can leave, ma'am.

Okay, sir.

-Sathya?
-Yes, sir.

Figure out where the signal dropped
and which tower picked it up.

Get me all the details about this
after Shakunthala's 1 p.m. call to Sekaran.

Okay, sir.

Also…

Where can I find this Thyagu?

Please!

Please!

That's enough. You can stop.

Your brother was just as defiant as you.

I decided right then
that I should destroy him.

I'm trying to resolve this peacefully.

But you want to fight back, huh?

I'll wipe you off the face of this earth!

Don't fight a losing battle
for some guy who can't make ends meet.

We'll see who loses.

You've been flexing your power
against innocent people all this time.

That will no longer be the case.

I will stand by them.

I'm going to show you how I hit back.

You will never be able to get up.

He told me I'd never be able to get up.

But today, he can't live without
someone else to help him.

I don't know if he'll remember his family,

but I'm sure he'll remember me
as long as he lives.

But I've got to hand it to you,
you're a brave guy.

Despite seeing him suffer every day,
you want to have your revenge on me.

You're going to die right here.

Hey, Pandi. Cut him to bits
and throw it in the river.

Hey! What do you want?

Like you don't know already.
Where is Sekar?

You're meddling in something
that doesn't concern you.

-Hello?
-Hey, Paruthi Ilamaara.

-Who is it?
-Who, you ask?

It's Thirugnanamurthy, the MLA!

Sorry, sir. I didn't have your number.

Why be a cop if you don't even have my number?

What are you doing in Madurai
instead of being in Alanganallur?

Picking a fight with Thiru
equates to picking a fight with me.

And I hope you're aware
of the aftermath if you do.

I came to pick him up for questioning.

But now that you've told me
not to, I'll let him go.

I'll take in the four men
with him to the station.

-It was an honest mistake.
-From now on,

understand who you're up against
before you make your move, okay?

Okay, sir.

You idiot.

Why do you come to me
babbling some nonsense?

He shivers at the mere mention of my name.

Why do you keep bringing him up?

Get lost. Go.

-Go there! Buzz off.
-Sir.

Here. Take this.

Sathya?

-Sir.
-Where are the mobile phones we seized from them?

Over here, sir. Gautam?

I want all the details
of where the phones have traveled.

Okay, sir.

-And get Sekaran's call history details.
-Okay, sir.

Oh, one important thing.

You can't have your cake and eat it too.

-Make sure you interrogate him the right way.
-Understood, sir.

Answer me! Go on.

-You better start talking
-No, sir! Please.

-Sir. Please! Please!
-You better answer me.

-Go on. I'm listening.
-Sir, that hurts! Sir!

-Otherwise, none of you will leave from here!
-Sir!

Hey, hit him on the head.

No, sir. No!

-Answer me.
-Instead of acting all tough,

if you answer my question,
there won't be any problems.

Wait, sir. Please!

Tell me.

Go on.

Sir! Sir!

Sir!

I hope you got the message.

Sekar, who left to meet you
yesterday with the money,

is still nowhere to be found.

Where is Sekar?

What did you do to him?

-I don't know.
-Really?

You think I'd let you go

if you answered like that?

I won't let you off that easily.

Are you trying to intimidate me?

-Tell me. You better answer us.
-[screams]

-Go on. I'm listening.
-Please stop, sir.

So, you didn't meet him.

You still haven't met the person,

who left at 4:30 p.m. to meet you.

And I'm supposed to believe this.

Do you know that for many people,

owning property is
one of their biggest dreams?

They must be really struggling
if they come to you for a loan on that land.

But you don't give a damn
and use violence to get back your money.

I'm not letting you off the hook that easily.

You have no idea who you're messing with.

I'll destroy you
like an elephant destroys a tree.

You will no longer live happily.

It hurts, sir! I'll tell you, sir.

-What did you do to Sekar?
-Sir, we got a call at the MLA's house.

Pandi answered the call
and handed the phone to the Boss.

Ask him, sir.

-Why?
-Why are you looking at him?

Sir, don't hit us. Sir! Please!

-Answer me.
-Sir, we can't bear the pain.

I'll tell you, sir.

Boss, the Ring Road land owner,
Sekar, is on the line.

Yes, Sekar. What is it?

-The agreement ends tomorrow.
-Is it?

So I wanted to hand you the money
and collect the documents.

-Do this. Call me by 4:30.
-Okay.

I'll tell you where you need to come.

Come there, hand over the money,
and collect the documents.

-Sounds good?
-Okay, I'll call you.

-What is it?
-It's that land owner, sir.

He's brought the money
and wants the documents back.

You know how important that place is for me.

Why do you worry about it, sir?

I'll increase the interest
and claim that the agreement ended.

If he still keeps giving trouble,
I'll take care of him.

Why do you even worry?

That's what happened, sir.

Ma'am?

Do you know where Iyyappan,
the auction chit-fund guy, lives?

-Over there.
-Get going.

Ma'am, does Iyyappan live here?

-Dear?
-What?

-Honey?
-What is it?

He was looking for you.

What is it, sir?

-Do you know Sekaran?
-I do, sir. He owns the studio.

He hasn't returned after saying
he'd meet you for the money.

Now, his wife has filed a complaint.

He left yesterday with the money, sir.

-When did he leave?
-By noon, around 12 o'clock, sir.

Here's the 4,60,000 rupees you want.

-Count it, brother.
-Hey, life is all about trust.

When Iyyappan hands over money,
it's as if Lord Ayyapan has handed it over.

Had you given it to me as 2000 rupee bills,

I could've easily stashed it in on me.

But being 500 rupee notes,
I need to carry it in a bag.

Brother, even the banks are out
of 2000 rupee notes.

They brought it in,
claiming it would get rid of black money.

But it looks like they got rid of those notes now.

Now, it's missing.

Yes, Sekar. Tell me, what is it?

The agreement ends tomorrow.

So I wanted to hand you the money
and collect the documents.

-Do this. Call me by 4:30.
-Okay.

I'll tell you where you need to come.

Come there, hand over the money,
and collect the documents.

He left soon after, sir.

You should come to the police station
whenever I call you.

Sure, sir.

Okay, sir.

Yeah. Tell me, Sathya.

It appears Shakunthala's statement is true
from my inquiries at the bank, sir.

He has withdrawn three lakh rupees
from his account, sir.

-Time?
-At 11:30 a.m., sir.

Did you check CCTV footage from nearby?

I did, sir. He drove a white
colored Activa bike.

He was by himself
with no one accompanying him.

What's the bike's registration number?

TN 59 AB 9644, sir.

Shakunthala confirmed that it was his bike, sir.

Okay, did you obtain Sekar's
call record history, as I asked?

They've promised to hand it over by afternoon, sir.

One more thing. You know Iyyappan,
who runs the auction chit-fund?

-Yes, sir.
-Collect his family details and background.

SEKARAN STUDIO

VINAYAGAM SALON

-Manickam.
-Sir?

-Get me a cup of tea.
-Okay, sir.

-Sir?
-Yes.

Your tea, sir.

The studio is closed.
Aren't they open today?

I don't know, sir.

It's been locked since yesterday.
And his bike is parked here too.

Why, sir? Do you need any photos taken?

No. Did he come here then
if it was parked only yesterday?

Yes, he did, sir.

When?

In the afternoon, around 1-1:30p.m
before I went for lunch.

Hey, Sekar.

Hey, Yogi.

You're walking off
as if you didn't even see me.

No, I did. I thought they'd left
a milestone here.

You're still witty.

-When did you arrive?
-I've downed two cups of tea already.

-I've ordered my third cup. Hey, Mani.
-Brother?

-Get baldy here one cup of tea, too.
-Okay.

Here's the 50,000 you wanted.

Thank you so much.

I wouldn't have been happier,
even if it was for my daughter's wedding.

-That's why I didn't give it then.
-Hey.

Yeah, what's with the thanks and everything?

Hand over the money and get the work done.

But before that, shave that beard off.

Hey. It won't grow here.
But it does over here.

-Be honest. Doesn't it look good?
-You look like a vagabond!

You won't spare me.

You're calling me a vagabond?

I was carrying seven and a half lakhs in this.

Along with your 50,000,
I now have eight lakhs on me. Buzz off.

Hey, miser. You've got the money.
Pay fifty bucks and get that beard shaved.

See this?

My wife probably heard your insults
and has called me.

Shaku dear?

-Tell me, my love.
-Good Lord.

-That's--
-I'll leave you two lovebirds alone.

Hey, Mani. Cancel that tea.

Get the money from him.

Hey. Where are you going?
Sit down, let's have a chat.

You never stop making fun of me.

Now that you're in the mood for romance,

I don't even have to ask.

-Okay.
-You go ahead. I'm leaving.

Oh, nothing.
I met Yogalingam on the way.

And so, I…
Mani, add that to my tab, please.

I didn't see him after that.

I saw him in the night
when I was closing my shop.

His bike was parked here.

And I left for home, sir.

Welcome, sir.
Want a haircut?

No.

The studio next door is closed.
Do you know where the owner might be?

He might have gone out.
Wait for some time. He'll be back.

So, boss. Is it okay?

-Okay.
-Hey…

He's questioning you.
But you are talking to him.

Come on, sir. Why speak
like this in front of my customer?

He's your customer?

-You…
-Manickam.

I'll transfer the money to you.

Thank you!

What do you want to know, sir?

You said he's gone out.

But his bike is outside.

Where has he gone?

I have no idea, sir.

Then how did you know he's gone out?

I assumed he was out because
he usually locks his shop when he leaves.

So, you're saying you saw him
at the shop this morning?

No, sir. I last saw him yesterday.

I didn't see him today.
Why don't you enquire at the tea shop?

You saw him come to the shop yesterday?

Yes, sir. He had come for a shave.

When was that?

-Did you give the money?
-No, Thyagu…

-…asked me to call him by 4 p.m.
-Hello, Sekar. How are you?

-I'm good, thank you.-Alright. Go safe.

This…

I'll cook for you, too.

-No, don't.
-Come home and eat.

It's alright. You cook for yourself.
I'll eat something outside.

-Okay.
-Alright. Bye!

No home food today?

Yes. I have important work to complete.

Give me a good shave.
Nice and neat.

It has to be clean.

You'll know once I'm done.

Your face will look as bright as the Taj Mahal.

I just want it to look neat and clean.

You think people will look at you?

-What?!
-Take it easy.

Look into the mirror now.

Don't you look like Kamal?

Who? Me?

Of course.

You too?

Did someone else say too?

Who is it?

Oh, my God!

-Hello?
-Sekar, come to the mill immediately.

Didn't you ask me to come this evening?
Why the change in plan?

Oh! Alright, you continue with your work.

-We'll see later.
-No, no. I'll come when you ask me to.

There's a car waiting outside your studio.

Oh, yes.

Get in that car.
They'll take you where you need to go.

Thank you, but I'll come on my bike…

-What happened?
-I wish I were never born a human again.

-You look tense.
-Falling in with the wrong crowd when troubled

can amplify your issues.

God, who is calling now?

Hello. I'll be there in half an hour.

That's when I saw him last, sir.

Did you see the plates?

Car plate? No, sir.

Some sticker or name?

Do you at least know the car model?

I didn't notice all that, sir.

But it looked similar to a Scorpio.

And, sir…

There was a Shiva Linga picture on the rear side.

-Which way did it go?
-They headed towards the east.

-Manickam, check for other CCTV cameras in this area.
-Okay, sir.

-What's your name?
-Vinayagam.

Call me if you spot that car again.

Okay, sir.

Alright, GK.
I'll call you later.

-Sir.
-Where is Sekaran's call log?

It's ready, sir.

Sir!

-You asked us to inquire about Iyyappan's activities, right?
-Yes.

Their family has operated
an auction chit-fund for 50 to 60 years.

Everyone says he's a man of principles.

Our police records show
no complaints filed against him.

His uncle, Ucchikaruppu, is his backbone.

This is Sekaran's call log for the last ten days.

We identified and thoroughly verified
the numbers Sekaran contacted

on January 5, the day he went missing.

Sekaran got his last call

at 1:48 p.m. from this number.

The call lasted for one minute and 16 seconds.
This number is switched off now.

Okay. Do this.

Dump these numbers
and get their call log details.

On it, sir. I've informed GK.

-Good.
-Thank you, sir.

The statement given by Mrs. Shakunthala is genuine, sir.

When she tried calling Sekaran again,
his phone was switched off.

I traced his number.

I located it at the crusher in Melakkal, Madurai.

Inquiries confirmed that
the crusher belongs to Karimedu Thyagu.

We need to question Thyagu differently
to find out about Sekaran.

We need solid evidence to question him.

Got it. We've seized his men's mobiles, right?

Dial this number on those mobiles and check.

If this number is stored,

find out what he has to do
with that mobile owner.

If we do find some relation between them…

We can end Thyagu's entire business.

Not just Alanganallur,

-but the entire world will see…
-Who is that shouting?

…what happens to this station.

What's with the shouting, sir?

You ran away after getting
just one slap from me yesterday.

I didn't run. I only went to call the boys.

Wow! Like you would've hit me
even if they were there.

Get lost!

What does he want, Manickam?

It seems we arrested his brother last night.

-He's come with his lawyer to release his brother.
-Did we file a case?

Not to my knowledge.

-You have any idea, Sathya?
-No, sir.

What is this?
How can you two say this?

What's your brother's name?

Sir, enough. As if you don't know.

Hey, I really don't know.

What's his name?

Thyagu.

Karimedu Thyagu.

Oh! Are you Chinna Mayan's son?

Stop mocking me, sir.

Why would I do that?
You are no one to me.

The record says Thyagu is Chinna Mayan's son.

Isn't that your dad's name, too,
if you are his brother?

Was I wrong, Lawyer?

Sir, you're taking this too far.

What's wrong with what I said?

I'm talking as per law.

You can go around and check
if you still have your doubts.

Go on.

You say it like it's easy.

But I know it's impossible
to find someone in police custody.

I'm saying this for your good.

If not…

What?

-We'll make you disappear.
-Come again.

Disappear?

Really?

How dare you? Hey…

I'll break your bones and lock you in prison.

What do you think of yourself?

I'm letting you go only because
the MLA asked me to arrest a few.

Otherwise, I would've locked you
up for life on another charge.

-Manickam.
-Sir?

Respectfully send-off the lawyer
and throw this guy out.

Disappear?

Really?

How dare you? I'll break your bones
and lock you in prison.

I'm letting you go only because
the MLA asked me to arrest a few.

Sir, I can see the fear in
his eyes after last night's call.

Get your eyes checked first. Get lost!

Sir.

He doesn't look like someone
who is scared of us.

But someone who'd intimidate us.

He has a plan sketched for my brother.

Listen.

Officials like him know
the consequences of defying politicians.

I'll make sure he faces them.

Try to find out where Thyagu is.

I dialed Prakash's number using
Sekaran's call log on Thyagu's men's phones.

None of the phones had the number saved.

Okay. Did you check Thyagu's number?

Yes, sir. I did.

It wasn't saved either.

-We'll proceed after getting details from GK.
-Okay, sir.

-Sir.
-Tell me.

-Sekaran's phone is switched on now.
-Is it?

Call him from your mobile
and trace that call.

Check which tower that call connects to.

Sorry, sir. It's his phone
but not his number.

The IMEI is mapped to another mobile number.

-Whose name is it registered to?
-Someone named Manjula.

-Address?
-Local only, sir.

84, Muniyandi Koil Street,
Bethaniyapuram.

Yes, sir?

Who is Manjula here?

-I am, sir.
-8494233661.

-Is this your number?
-Yes, sir.

Why do you ask?

-Whose mobile is that?
-Mine, sir.

-She's the accused. Take her.
-Okay, sir.

Si… Sir, sir.
Hold on.

With just the name and number,
you are arresting me.

This phone is registered to Sekaran.

He has been missing since yesterday afternoon.

He left home with eight lakh rupees
and has yet to return.

Believe me, sir.

I swear on my child,
I know nothing about this.

My husband gave me this phone this morning.

I charged it and inserted my SIM card.

I really don't know anything else, sir.

Wanting someone else's property
is a sure way to find yourself in trouble.

What's your husband's name?

Baskar.

Oh! It's our friend.

Don't hit me, sir. It hurts.

-It pains a lot, sir.
-What did you say earlier?

-Sathya?
-Sir, sir…

-Sathya!
-Sir?

No amount of crying will earn my forgiveness.

You'll be beaten up till you spill the truth.

Do you think I'd lie
even after being beaten up this bad?

You have Sekaran's mobile.

But you say you didn't kidnap or see him.
You think I'd believe that?

Where is Sekaran?

If you don't spill the truth now…

I'll peel your skin off.

Whatever you do,
I swear I don't know anything.

After you hit my brother at the quarry,
I informed the MLA.

Hoping you had released him
following the MLA's intervention,

I returned to the quarry.

Brother?

Brother?

-Hey, Pandi.
-But he wasn't there.

Not knowing what to do,
I slept there after a drink.

I saw that mobile
when I woke up the following day

and went to take a leak.

I found the phone,
discarded its SIM card,

and gave it to my wife, sir.

-I'm telling the truth. Believe me, sir.
-Hey…

Do you think I'd believe this story?

But, this is the truth, sir.

I've worked with him for 15 years, sir.

The pain is unbearable, sir.
Please uncuff me!

White car.

A Linga sticker at the rear.

Thyagu's car had a Lingam pendant.

Sekaran's mobile switched off
at Thyagu's crusher.

His last received call was at 1:48 p.m.

And that phone number is switched off.

Sir, I have a thought.

Yes, go on.

Sekaran's land is now
in the MLA's son-in-law's name.

Knowing this,

Sekaran could have gone
with that money to recover his land.

Thyagu might have warned Sekaran
that he would never reclaim his land.

Unable to accept it,

Sekaran would have been adamant
about reclaiming it back.

To set this right, they either killed Sekaran,

or kept him captive.

Sir, there's no chance
Thyagu will keep him captive.

-Yes, Sathya.
-There's been a murder, sir.

I'm at the spot now.

-What?!
-You heard me right, sir.

-What are you saying?
-We received a call at the station this morning.

-Which area?
-On a farm in Devaseri village.

-Clear the crowd, Manickam.
-Keep quiet, please.

Sir.

-When did we receive the information?
-At 6:30 a.m., sir. I called you right after.

Sathya, did you find any evidence?

We did, sir.

We found surgical gloves
and masks on the spot, sir.

Search for other evidence is still going on.

Who saw the body?
Why did you kill that girl?

Sir, I'm the witness.
Don't make me an accused now.

I came to pluck tender coconut in the morning.

I saw the body while climbing the tree.

I immediately called my friend,
Ganesan, who works for the police.

I don't know anything else, sir.

-Is there no one to guard for the farm?
-No, sir.

My dear Parvathy!

That's our child!

Hey, what's happening?

We haven't even seen the dead girl's face.

-But they've started crying over her.
-They had come to our station last night.

They reported that their daughter, Parvathy,
who had gone to work, did not return.

That's why I informed them.

Where does she work?

-She's a sales girl at a jewelry shop.
-Call him here.

-Manickam, bring him here.
-Okay, sir.

Sir.

-Your name?
-Dharmaraj.

We are yet to see the girl's face.

We have to look at the face and confirm.

But you just decided to cry over this girl's body.

What if she's not your daughter?

Her first kiss is still fresh in my memory, sir.

Won't a mother recognize her child?

We have our formalities.

Please understand.
We have to follow them.

Tell me more about your daughter.

That will help us find who the killer is.

I know I shouldn't be asking this now

and I'm sorry.

But I have no choice.

Please. Tell me.

Dad!

Dad.

My daughter works at
a famous jewelry shop in Madurai.

She leaves home at eight every morning

and comes back home at 11 p.m.

But she didn't come home last night, sir.

What happened?
Didn't she answer the call?

You relax. She'll be fine.

-Yes, Dad.
-Has Parvathy started, Shweta?

She left at her usual time.
She should be home by now.

She hasn't reached.
I tried calling her, but she didn't answer.

I tried again, but it's switched off.

Her phone battery would have died.

You don't worry.

Her bus might have broken down.

She'll take another bus and reach home.
You stay calm.

Okay, dear.

I couldn't stay calm.
So, I decided to go to the bus stand.

-What happened? Why did you call me urgently?
-My daughter is still not home.

-Drive to the bus stand.
-Alright. Hop on.

-Did the last town bus leave?
-Check the time. It left half an hour ago.

I left to the cycle stand immediately.

But no one was there.

My daughter's bike was still there.

I got a call this morning and…

"We found a dead body.

Please come and identify
if it's your daughter," he said.

I prayed to God…

…that this shouldn't be my daughter.

But God let me down.

My daughter…

Sir, sir. Please.

Hold yourself, sir.

How could my daughter leave me!

Sir, please.

Sir…

That girl is our regular customer, sir.

Monthly rent.
Not even a daily token.

She'll come in at 8:40 in the morning.

And leave around 10:40 in the night.

-Hi, brother.
-Hello.

Hey! Watch it!

Get up.

Shouldn't you be more careful?

I don't know what's wrong, brother.
The bike just skidded all of a sudden.

Okay, let me see.

You've got a flat tire.

Do you know any mechanic around here?

Shops around here typically shut at 9 p.m.

You leave your bike here.
I'll repair it for you.

Oh, brother!

I need to go to Devaseri.

There's no way I can walk home at this hour!

Of course you can't walk home!
Why don't you take an auto?

Okay, brother.
Could you catch an auto for me?

Later, I arranged an auto and sent her off.

-Can you drop her off?
-Yes.

-Be careful.
-Thanks, brother.

Sir!

Hey! Instead of dropping her off at her location,
why the hell did you kill her?

Killed her?
I didn't do anything, sir.

Even I saw you taking her into your auto.

She didn't get home that night.

Why did you kill her?

-Sir… Sir! Sir!
-Tell me! Confess!

Sir! Sir!
I didn't kill her, sir!

I regard all women who ride
in my auto as my family.

I don't have any wicked intentions.

I'm telling the truth.
I dropped her off at her location.

Brother! Can you stop at the turn near the street?

-What's wrong?
-I have to feed biscuits to the dogs.

It's already 11 p.m.
Are you sure?

Yes, brother.
I take this route every day.

In the beginning, those dogs
would howl and bark at me.

One day, I fed them biscuits and
somehow managed to calm them down.

Later, it became a habit.

So you made them all your friends
just by feeding them biscuits!

That's right, brother.

Look here! There's another person
feeding the dogs, just like you.

I don't know who he is.

He seems new.
Stop for a minute, brother.

What are you feeding them?

I'm feeding the dogs some meat.

-You are feeding them raw meat?
-No, I own a meat shop…

One of our orders got canceled.

That's why I'm feeding the leftover meat.

Raw meat might make the dogs more aggressive!

Oh, I apologize!
I won't feed them anymore.

What happened?
Why didn't you feed them biscuits?

They won't even take a sniff of them today.

After that, I dropped her off at the street end.

Sir, judging by the place,
I could clearly sense that

those dogs had a feast last night.

Parvathy got down at the street end.

But she didn't get home.

-Sir?
-How did that man look like?

Sir, I stayed inside the auto.

I saw him from the rear view mirror.

But didn't take a good look in the dark.

Did you see him clearly when you
returned with the headlights?

Since my house is on the same route,
I drove straight ahead.

Okay. You must come to the station
whenever you are called.

-Okay, sir.
-Don't leave the city.

-Manickam!
-Sir?

-Collect his contact details and send him off.
-Okay, sir.

Hey! Show me your license.
Come!

Hello, Sathya?

Inquire about any canceled orders
at meat shops nearby.

If there was, then catch hold
of that shop's owner.

Let's see if we can get any lead
through him in Parvathy's case.

Alright.

I'll leave, sir.

Okay, sir.

Sir, beating them to a pulp
might give us some answers.

It's written all over his face that he's lying.

What if he's innocent?

What if he's not related to this case at all?

-Sorry, sir.
-Nothing serious. Let's go.

-Hey…
-Sir… you stepped on dung.

Hey! Bring some water.

Why are the police here?

-Hey! Did you get any bulk orders yesterday?
-No, sir.

Hey! Did any function get canceled yesterday?

The meat we diced yesterday is still unsold!

No, brother.

-Did any of your orders get canceled yesterday?
-No, sir.

They bought five kilograms of meat again.

Brother! Is this shop still closed?

I don't know, sir.

What is it?
Did you inquire around?

I'm on it, sir.
But this shop is still closed.

Brother? Do you know where
this shop's owner lives?

He lives three houses away
from the Kaaliamman temple.

Maariyappa? Maariyappa?

-Yes, sir.
-Is Maariyappa home?

-Honey!
-What?

What is it, sir?

Yes, Sathya. Tell me.

Sir, that meat shop owner,
Maariyappan, isn't opening up.

If you permit me,
I'll investigate him in our manner.

Okay…

Did you check if there
are any cases filed against him?

Not even a section 75, sir.

He could've leaked something
if we messed up the investigation.

If he's still quiet,

then I think he's innocent.

But there's a chance he may
have witnessed something.

I think he's lying about it out of fear.

You do one thing.

Investigate him as a victim and not a suspect.

-Okay, sir.
-Let's see if he says something.

Okay, thank you, sir.

-Good morning, Mom.
-I don't want to hear it.

I kept calling you for the last two days.

But you completely ignored my calls.
Are you that busy?

Mom, I'm sorry!

This murder case has been such a headache!

That's why.

Who else will I speak to when I'm free?

That's right.
Sons behave this way with their mothers.

You come with something
and get yourself out of trouble.

But if it were your wife,

you'd call right back
and tell her you'll talk later.

Oh, that's true.

I've witnessed all the struggles
that retired officer went through!

Junior! Don't ever get married.

Your life will be very happy!

-Okay, Dad.
-Don't ever think about staying single forever.

Else, you'll be in serious trouble!

We came across a perfect alliance for you.

I've sent you the girl's picture on WhatsApp.

See her picture and let us know if you like her.

Let's fix a date and
get you married soon.

I'm okay with whatever you decide.

Fix a date and let me know.

I'll be there to tie the mangalsutra, okay?

Bye! Bye, Dad.

-Bye, Junior!
-Dear?

Yes, ma'am?

Sir…

I feel like I'm losing my mind

without knowing where my husband is!

Please let me know if you find something.

Ma'am, you've filed a complaint
against Thyagu.

And he's in my custody now.

Nobody knows about this.

If people learn about this,
we won't be able to track your husband.

We'll legally produce Thyagu to the court
and take necessary actions.

Don't worry about anything.
Go home safe.

I trust you.

Stop worrying.

Sathya!

Sir…

-Sir!
-In Sekaran's case…

I asked you to get details of the number 7373266166.
Any updates on that?

I'm still following up, sir.

Since the CM is visiting,
that station is a bit busy now.

They've asked for some time.
I'll collect it from them tomorrow.

Okay, follow up correctly.

I've been saying this since last night.
Why are you bashing me up?

Sir!

Hey! Confessing everything
will make things smoother.

Else, I'll--

I swear, two days ago, I came
straight from the hospital and went to bed.

No matter how much you thrash me,
this is the truth!

If you want me to tell you something…
Let me know, I'll do that.

-Sathya…
-Sir?

-Check if he's telling the truth.
-Okay, sir.

And call the hospital and get the prescription
to see if it matches what he says.

Okay, sir.

-Sir!
-What?

This is Parvathy's postmortem report.

It says she was 48 days pregnant.

If an unmarried girl was pregnant for 48 days…

She could have been in
a relationship with somebody.

To steer clear of any trouble,

the guy must have killed her after finding out.

We must find that guy first.

And this is her forensic report, sir.

This is the cover that was wrapped
around Parthvathy's head.

People don't normally use
these kinds of covers.

This cover is used by doctors
to throw away medical waste after surgery.

This evidence is crucial to this case.

How did this cover get to the farm?

Moreover, Parvathy got down near her house.

Then how did she get to the farm?

Why did she go there?

What could be the motive behind her murder?

Manickam! You do one thing.

Ask Ashok to scan this bar code

and collect the manufacturer's details.

Investigate right from the year
of manufacturing to its distributors.

Okay, sir.

Sir? Excuse me, sir?

-Hi.
-Sorry for making you wait.

The customers may start to panic.

-That's why, sir.
-Why would they panic?

Do we seem like demons and ghosts to them?

Only the guilty should be afraid of us.

-It's just that, sir…
-Listen up!

All I'm looking for is information
about Parvathy, who died recently.

Her friend Meenakshi is working here, right?
We need to inquire her.

Sir, she hasn't come to work for the past two days.

She is still in shock after
hearing her friend's demise.

-Why?
-They are best friends, sir.

-Sathya!
-Yes, sir?

I think we can close this case
if we investigate Meenakshi.

Sir! Why are you treating her like an accused?

Accused isn't just the one who commits a crime.

The one who hides the crime
is also an accused.

We just confirmed that Parvathy
was in a relationship with somebody.

We need to know who that person is.

That's why we need to investigate Meenakshi.

As far as I know, Parvathy wasn't dating anybody.

One time, Meenakshi complained to me

about a guy pressuring Parvathy to love him.

Who is that guy?

His name is Nataraj.
He's one of our store's staff.

Why don't you understand?
You are very precious to me!

Nobody can protect you better than me.

Better than my mother?

No one can protect better
than a mother who carried

and cared for her child for ten months.

Parvathy!

I said I don't like you.
Why are you torturing me?

I like you.
I can torture only you!

Parvathy! The manager called you.

Wait. I'll be back.

Your coffee has too much sugar.

Put a little less next time.

He doesn't even allow me
to use the bathroom.

You won't be able to live in peace
if you let this slide.

Come, let's file a complaint with the manager.

Our manager will fire him
if we raise it to him.

He creates chaos here in the shop.

Later, he'll cause a scene
in the middle of the road!

Inform your parents about this at least.

If I tell them about this,
they won't let me work anymore!

What are you planning to do?

Are you going to endure this every day?

Sathya! Thrash that dog and bring him to me.

-Okay, sir
-Sir…

He hasn't come to work
ever since Parvathy died.

And his mobile is switched off.

What is his address?

His native is Rameshwaram, sir.

He's currently staying in Sammatipuram.

Nataraj?

Nataraj!

YOUR SCRIBBLES ON ME…
THEY'RE ART!

Sathya…

We thought the case would be
closed once he's caught.

But he was never connected to this case.

We don't know for sure.
He might be the murderer.

What makes you say that, sir?

-Did you see his room?
-Sir?

He's been in love with her.

Without knowing how to express his feelings,

he's been torturing her.

That's why Parvathy turned him down.

There's another reason she said no to Nataraj.

She must be in love with someone else.

He must be the reason behind her pregnancy.

Are you implying that Nataraj somehow
learned about Parvathy's love

and killed her and himself?

Maybe.

Or she might have fallen for the wrong person.

He might also have killed her.

I'm not sure.

Let's see where this case takes us.

MY CHILD!

MY LIFE!

Oh my God!

Look at my baby!
What is this ill fate?

Leave me! Leave me alone.

Is that it?

We lost everything, didn't we?

Do you see this?

Do you see what they did to my child?

When am I going to see her again?

Sir…

Sir…

Do you see this?

I poured all my love on her.

Now look at her.
Look how my child came back.

Don't let those rabid dogs
who did this to my child escape.

Sir…

I look at you as the deity I pray to.
Don't let them get away.

Please, sir.

My daughter's murderer shouldn't get away, sir.

No other girl should face this.

My daughter should be the last.

She should be the last.

She should be the last.

-Dharmaraj…
-Sir?

Answer my questions without hiding anything.

Did your daughter ever mention being in love?

Did you notice any change in her behavior?

My daughter is not like that, sir.

Are you suspicious of someone?

Don't be afraid. Tell me.

We don't have any problems with anyone.

Our family just keeps to ourselves.

We don't have any enemies to name.

I'm not suspicious of anyone.

It's okay. I'll take care of this.

-Sir?
-Yes?

Parvathy's father is hiding the truth, sir.

What truth?

Three days before her death…

I came out of my house to use the washroom.

I gave you too much freedom.

That's why you act as you wish.
My head hurts because of you.

Why are you talking like this, Dad?

I like him.
Get us married.

I'll live a happy life.

What? Live a happy life?

Leaving behind our people,
our caste and relatives,

how can you live a happy life?

You have to have your own people to live happily.

Like you say, I can't forget my caste, pride,

and get you married to whomever you want.

If I do, our family will lose its respect.

We'll have to fend for ourselves.

I can't live a life like that.

-Is this your decision?
-Yes.

Hear her out, dear.

All her life, she's never asked for anything.

She wants something now.

-Please accept her deci--
-Shut up!

You stay inside all day.
How will you understand all this?

Only a man who faces the town
knows what he'll encounter.

If you try to go against my word,

you'll know what I'm capable of.

If I'm to get married,
it'll be with him.

I've made up my mind.

She was in love with someone.

But I don't know why
her father would lie to you.

Ummm… do you know
who Parvathy was in love with?

I don't know, sir.

But I'm pretty sure he's not a local.

Hey, what are you doing here?

He's my brother.

Parvathy's father is hiding the truth, sir.

Did your daughter ever mention being in love?

My daughter is not like that, sir.

She was in love with someone.

But I don't know why
her father would lie to you.

How long are you going to glare at me?

What did you do to Sekaran?

Tell me where you've hid him.

The court might lessen your punishment.

-Else…
-Else, what?

What will you do? Huh?

Court, jail, and your other silly blackmail

cannot terrify me.

I've told you a million times.

You keep bugging me without even
listening to a word I say!

This is not good for you.

You were the last person he met.

There's evidence he arrived
in a white Scorpio with a Lingam sticker.

There's also proof his phone died in your crusher.

We got his phone from your underling's wife.

How long are you going to lie?

A million people have a white Scorpio car.

There are tons of people who worship Lord Shiva.

Why do you pester me and not them?

Huh?

But those million people
have no connection with Sekaran.

But you and Sekaran?

-You know each other, right?
-Yes.

We are connected.

He sold his land documents to me.

He didn't sell it.

You threatened and snatched it from him.

Your MLA, Thirugnanamoorthi
had an eye on that land.

You'll do anything to get him what he wants.

Wow! You know everything!

But I know a thousand ways to snatch that land.

I needn't have to kill him.

Also, he's not that important
of a person to hide his body.

If I really did it, I'll accept that I did it.

You see, nobody can do anything to me.

I can.

You'll know once the Judge finishes reading the case.

Wait for it.

Your arrogance, your ego,
your superiority complex…

I'll break it all.

Then, you'll know

what I'm capable of.

Ganesh!

It's time. Let's take him.

-Sir!
-Sir!

Sir!

Sathya, is the remand report ready?

-It's ready.
-Give it to me.

Gautham, bring that file.

Sir…

What the hell is this?

It's mentioned here that Sekaran had called Thyagu.

Sekaran called Pandi around 12:30 p.m.

If the Judge sees this,
he'll throw it on our faces.

Get it changed.

Also, attach Pandi's call details with this report.

Okay, sir.

Ashok, why did you call this morning?

Sir, you wanted details about
the plastic cover in Parvathy's murder case.

It's from Sharma's factory in Mumbai.

From the barcode, we now know that
it was manufactured in September 2022.

And it was distributed to
three dealers in Madurai.

The address and contact details are here.

-Okay, I'll follow this.
-Okay, sir.

What about Parvathy's call history, Manickam?

I have it, sir. I'm shortlisting it.

-I want it this evening.
-Okay, sir.

Sathya, bring the remand report to the court.

-Okay then.
-Okay, sir.

Hey, come on.

Move.

Don't be scared by his silly demeanors.

Tell the Judge what you told me in the complaint.

I'll take care of the rest.

Okay, sir.

We will definitely crack the case.

I don't want anything, sir.

The money they took…

that land…

Let them have it all.

I just want my husband back.

Don't worry.

I'll take care.

What's this, Paruthi Ilamara?

You acted as if you were scared of me
and promised not to arrest Thyagu.

Now, you've produced him before the court.
Are you trying to pull a fast one on me?

What can I do?

When people like you support gangsters and thugs,

we can only act to carry out our duties.

How dare you talk to me like this
when I'm in power.

I'll nip that ego of yours soon.

If you try to nip my ego,

I'd still be in uniform,
working at a different station with the same ego.

But if I give it a bit more thought,

I can strip you of your power
and send you off to jail.

Hey, if an inspector can send any MLA to jail,

you'd have to transform the legislature
into the central jail.

Sir,

you teamed up with Thyagu
to seize poramboke lands

and land from unsuspecting victims
by creating power-of-attorney documents.

I've got all those details filed away.

As long as you don't interfere,
there won't be any problems.

-But, if you decide to intervene--
-Hey!

You're butting heads with a boulder.

You're going to die from a broken skull!

Sir, he's walking away, laughing.

-How could you let him off easily?
-Just give me the word, sir.

I'll wipe him off this earth.

Everything has its time.

-You better learn to shut the hell up till then.
-Okay, sir.

Can you check this barcode
and tell me if this came from this store?

-Hurry up.
-Give me five minutes, sir.

I've checked the last four months' stock, sir.

This isn't from our stock.

This isn't from our stock.

Okay, thank you.

-Tell me, Sathya.
-They got four days in custody, sir.

-And Thyagu?
-Fifteen days remand, sir.

We've been asked to produce Vairam's brother, Guna,
and Thyagu before the court on the 25th.

-Hand me the phone.
-Sir, Thyagu wants to talk.

Give it to him.

Hey!

You knew all too well
that Sekar's case wouldn't stick

and instead dragged me
into an attempt to murder case.

If you didn't come there at the right moment,
he would've killed me, sir.

He tried to kill my brother, too.

You have to put an end to his atrocities, sir.

Didn't I tell you that the judge
will learn about you when he reads the case?

Hey! I'll make sure you never live peacefully.

You will regret messing with Karimedu Thyagu
every day of your life.

I'll make sure of that.

Get going.

Yes, sir?

Check if this barcode is from here.

Check if this is on your records.
No hurry.

There's no room for that here, Ganesan.

From the information we received,
they've sent the stock to only three dealers.

The other two shops don't have any record of this.
So, this must be the source.

Give me two minutes, sir.
I'll check and let you know.

You don't have to check your entire stock.
Just check the delivery reports.

Okay, sir.

This is Sudhakar, calling from
Nagercoil station, sir.

Just a minute, Sudhakar.

-Stay here and follow this up.
-Okay, sir.

Tell me, Sudhakar. What happened?

Sir, you had sent the address
of a suspect from your station.

I've arrived at that location.

-But your suspect, Prakash, is dead.
-What?

-Yes, sir.
-What happened?

Prakash and his wife were traveling by car
on the evening of the 5th.

Prakash died on the spot
when they met with an accident.

Prakash's wife is in the ICU, sir.

She's unconscious right now, sir.

Prakash's number is involved
in a critical case, Sudhakar.

See if you collect some details
from his family by talking to them.

It would be very helpful.

It's impossible to talk to anyone,
given the current situation, sir.

I don't think it would work out
if I questioned them now.

I can get back to you in two days, sir.

Okay, but give me a report
as soon as you can.

-Okay, sir.
-And send me Prakash's photo.

Okay, sir. I'll send it.

Thank you.

Sir?

-The stock came from here, sir.
-Confirmed?

Yes, sir.

-Hey, is it right? Confirmed?
-Confirm, sir.

When was it delivered?

The 6th of this month, sir.

-Which hospital?
-Vedika Hospital, Alanganallur.

-Alanganallur?
-Yes, sir.

-Yes, sir?
-Head to Vedika Hospital.

I've sent a photo of a receipt
to your WhatsApp number.

Check if the items on the list are in their stock.

If those aren't on the list, check their usage list.

Okay, sir.

-Check this and call me immediately.
-Okay, sir.

-Tell me, Manickam.
-I checked the bill list you sent, sir.

-Everything's in order.
-Go through it thoroughly, Manickam.

How could the barcode found near Parvathy

and the one at the hospital match?

If they do, where did the barcode
near Parvathy come from?

Sir, there are two bills
but only one list.

-What?
-The bill you sent is dated the 6th, sir.

The bill they have is from the 7th, sir.

But they're saying they didn't receive
any materials on the 6th, sir.

So, who collected the materials
delivered on the 6th?

Sir, I checked Parvathy's call history as you asked.

She was in touch
with four different numbers very frequently.

The first one belongs to her father, Dharmaraj.

The second one belongs to her friend Meenakshi, who works with her.

The third was Nataraj's number, sir.

Those calls were only incoming

The fourth number is 7092222622, sir.

It's registered in the name of Kandhasamy, sir.

Manickam, we're in the middle of something.
Why are you talking about something unrelated?

Sir. They're related, sir.

The bill list is addressed to Kandhasamy, sir.

I feel that the person
who gave the bill list is our accused, sir.

-Hey, is it right? Confirmed?
-Confirm, sir.

When was it delivered?

The 6th of this month, sir.

-Which hospital?
-Vedika hospital, Alanganallur.

Shit! Turn the car around.

Okay, call GK and ask him to trace that number.

Hurry up.

-Tell me, GK.
-We've traced the number Manickam gave us.

It's moving at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour

on Samayanallur Road, sir.

I guess the suspect
is on a car or a bike, sir.

GK, how far away am I from the suspect?

Sir, the vehicle has reached Dindigul four-way track

and is heading towards Dindigul.

Your number is on the Kumaram route, sir.

If you travel through Kumaram,

you'd be almost three kilometers away
when you reach the four-way track.

Ganesh, stop! Stop!

Go back. Turn right.

GK, stay on the line and update me
on his whereabouts.

Just a minute, sir.
There's an incoming call on that number, sir.

Hey, can't you answer your phone?
How many times do I call?

I was just vacating the room.

I was busy with that. Tell me.

Book an individual cottage. I'm on my way.

Is that all?
There's an unoccupied one near the lake.

Hey! Not inside the town.
Find one outside town.

It should be away from any network coverage.

I'm going to switch off my phone now.

Book the cottage and come
to the church near Moonjikal.

I'll pick you up over there.

Sir, he's headed to Kodaikanal now.

If he heads up the hill, out of network coverage,
it'll be difficult to track him.

He has exited the four-way track
and is headed inside a village.

You're on a parallel road with him, sir.
You're 1.5 kilometers away from him.

Thank you, GK. I'll take it from here.

You!

Why did you kill Parvathy?

WHY?

She's my Parvathy, sir.

She was destined for me!

Why on earth would I kill her?

You think I'll fall for your lies?

Tell me the truth!

Whether you believe me or not…

This is the truth!

How do you know Parvathy?

My family and I went to Lalitha Jewelry

to buy jewelry for my sister's wedding.

That's where I saw her for the first time.

It was as though I had been reborn!

That's when I decided…

that she is my life!

Later…

I would go to that store every day
just to see her.

♪ I was enchanted
By your mesmerizing gaze! ♪

♪ A sight to behold
An angel just for me from above! ♪

♪ Oh, my girl!
You're the radiance that lightning bestows! ♪

♪ Oh, my beloved
I long to make you forever mine! ♪

♪ Like a child's tender kiss
You swiftly claimed my heart! ♪

♪ I'm cherishing it with all my love! ♪

Alanganallur stop, folks!
Get down!

Are there no other girls in this town?

Why are you following me around?

When the girl that's meant for me
is standing right in front of me…

why should I go behind other girls?

So… what will you do
if I accept your love?

My friend is waiting for me in his car.

I'll go with him.

Is that all?

Won't you follow me around

and call me for dates and meetups?

No, I won't.

I'll meet you in the morning
before you head to work.

Later, let's meet at
the bus stand in the evening.

Rest of the time, I'll look after my business.
Isn't that the reality?

Things will remain the same
even after we get married.

If we go on dates and have fun,

you'll expect the same
after we get married.

Spending too much time with you
will affect our business.

So, if I can't show up for our date…

You'll get upset.

If you think practically, isn't that right?

Mmm… rightly said.

Instead of trying to win over a girl
with flashy gestures,

I understood how genuine
you were when you bought

a gold coin everyday
instead of spending recklessly.

You are a practical person.

You'll take good care of me, right?

I won't promise you a royal treatment. But…

I'll make sure you're always happy!

Then… you can leave.

Your friend is waiting for you, right?
Call him and get going!

Hey! So, do you love me?

You deceived her by pretending
to be perfect and practical person.

If Parvathy was still alive…

She would tell you
if my love was genuine or fake.

Physical relationships before marriage
have become very common these days.

One who loves truly will never indulge in that.

What's that stare?

Curious how we found out
what you both were doing?

We received Parvathy's postmortem report.

She was 48 days pregnant.

Hey! Even if it's just 48 days,
it's still a life, isn't it?

How could you kill that innocent fetus
without even a hint of remorse?

Wastrel!

Sir…

Sir…

Sir, it's only now
I'm learning she was pregnant!

What did you say?

"That's also a life! Isn't it?"

That was my life, sir!

That's my baby, sir.

How will I kill her, sir?

-Hey! HEY!
-How will I kill her?

Don't you dare put on an act to deceive me
like you did with Parvathy.

I'm not acting, sir.

How will I kill my own child?

Parvathy might have told you
that she was pregnant.

You may have asked her to abort the baby.

And she might have refused it.

And you killed both of them out of anger.

Is this what happened?

Tell me!

Correct, sir.

Correct!

Now I get it.

It's all finally sinking into
this thick skull of mine!

The last time I saw Parvathy was
when she got on the bus on the day she died.

-How much, brother?
-20 rupees.

Hey! The bus is about to leave.
Come, Jeeva!

Will the bus leave without us?

You think you're a fighter?

Of course not. But there's no harm
in saying it out loud, right?

-Here, Paru.
-What?

This parcel needs to be delivered
to Vedika Hospital tomorrow at 8 a.m.

Can you hand it over?

You didn't think of picking me up
after delivering the parcel, did you?

Nope…

It's too early for me.

I'll start only around 8:30.

-Is that okay?
-No problem.

Just half an hour, right?
I'll take care.

So, what is all this?

Materials required for surgery.

-Hey! It could be something important.
-Idiot!

If the surgery is set for tomorrow,
will anyone place an order now?

They ordered this for stock storage purposes.

There's no hurry.
You can give it around 9 a.m. as well.

Okay, then.

I'll deliver it around 8:30.

Okay, baby!

Also, I have good news.

What is it?

I'll keep it secret until one week.

One week?

-Yes!
-Paru, please! Tell me!

-Hey! The bus is leaving!
-Please! Tell me before you leave!

It's just seven days.
There's no harm in waiting.

It'll be your birthday gift from me this year.

Her father never approved of our love, sir.

I thought she got all excited to tell me
that her father had accepted our love.

That was the last time I saw her, sir.

Her face…

was beaming in happiness, sir.

I didn't know why she was so happy then.

Only now I get it, sir.

We got married, sir.

It was a registered marriage.

Only after we got married was
she was willing to take things further between us.

That is my Parvathy.

Okay, sir.

Then how did Vedika Hospital materials
were billed on the 7th?

I got a call saying they didn't receive
the parcel around 10:30 in the morning.

I tried calling Parvathy.

Her mobile was switched off.

I even went to the store to look for her.

She wasn't there.

I panicked so much
without knowing what to do,

I billed other materials
and sent them to a staff.

Around 4 p.m…

when I saw the newspaper…

I learnt that she passed away.

Let's think that you are telling the truth.

Why did you hide in an area with no reception?

Do you think I'll spare
the one who did this to Parvathy?

Shouldn't I need to find that monster
and chop him to bits?

That's why I went there.

Will Parvathy come back if you kill him?

Smart people often act on emotions
and end up taking stupid decisions.

This isn't the end of your life.

Think practically and start living.

I think it's that one quality of yours…

Parvathy loves about you.

Okay, sir.

-Get him something to eat.
-Okay, sir.

Sir, I asked about them
at the register office.

Jeeva and Parvathy are indeed married.

Who could have killed her?

Sir! If we detain Parvathy's
father, Dharmaraj, and thrash him up,

we might uncover the real truth.

Why? Do you think this could
be an honor killing?

Yes, sir. He kept mum about
his daughter's love life!

Could he have done something crazy

upon discovering she was pregnant?

Then how can it be?

She got down near her house.

How can she disappear without a trace?

Let's say this was an honor killing
just like you said.

No murderer will disperse
the body in a public place.

Moreover, if he had really killed her,

he might have tried to frame it as a suicide.

Else, the entire family would
have tried to cover that murder.

But nothing of those things happened.

I don't know why Dharmaraj
hid Parvathy's love affair from us.

-We need to find out. Sathya!
-Sir!

Catch hold of everyone
who is related to this case.

-Let's see what happens.
-Okay, sir.

Look at him sound asleep at this hour!

Hey! Get up!

-Get up!
-Why are you beating me, sir?

-Where are you taking me?
-Come on! Hop on!

Tell me, sir.

Sir!

-Hey! Come on!
-Sir! Sir!

-Get inside the jeep!
-Let me go, sir!

-Sir! What's happening? Tell me!
-Get inside! Go on!

-Go!
-Sir!

Sir! Tell me!

Go! Go on!

-Tell me! Confess!
-Sir! Sir!

Sir! Please! Sir!

I don't know, sir! I swear!

Better confess everything!
How dare you!

-Tell us the truth!
-Sir! Sir!

Come on! Confess!

Considering the circumstances
and respecting your age,

I'm open to listening to you.

It's good if you tell me the truth.

Else…

I hope you can hear their screams.

How will I kill my own child?

She's my guiding light, sir!

How can I harm her?

Could be because she fell in love
with a guy from another caste?

You never accepted that relationship.

But Parvathy stood firm in her decision.

In order to protect your dignity and honor,

you killed her yourself.

Is that right?

I indeed give importance to honor.

We are normal people

who lived all our lives together with our families…

and share our joys and sorrows with each other.

After learning about her relationship,

it's true that I became angry,

fearing I might lose everything,
including my respect.

I'm not a beast to harm my own daughter…

…in the name of respect and honor.

Then why did you lie about her relationship earlier?

People badmouth those who are alive and well.

Upon hearing about the death of a young girl

and if they learn about
the reason behind her death…

I feared the cruel rumors
society might spread about her.

That's why I lied about that.

It's nothing like what you thought.

My daughter is my life.

Yes, Kalidas?

The hair sample you sent
for DNA testing matches perfectly.

Are you sure?

Very sure.

Thank you.

-Manickam!
-Sir?

Sathya!

Ask Shakunthala to come to the studio,
along with the studio key.

-Okay, sir.
-Yes, sir.

-Sathya, you come with me.
-Okay, sir.

This studio was the only thing that
wasn't involved in the investigation.

Yes, sir.

Get the key from her
and check the studio completely.

It'll be really useful if we get any clue.

Okay, sir.

You said something about Sekaran two days ago?
What was that?

Didn't I tell you everything the other day?

What's wrong?
You won't tell it again?

Not like that, sir.

-Tell me.
-He came here the other day.

He called his friend.

And they both were talking.

He got a call.

Later, they both left.

Can you recall what the friend's name was?

I think it was Sivanesan or Lingesan, sir.

His name is Yogalinagam, sir.

Do you have his number?

-Yes, sir.
-Give it to me.

Hello?

This is the Inspector of
Alanganallur station, speaking.

-Okay?
-I want to talk about Sekaran's missing case.

Can you come to his studio?

I'll be there, sir.

The studio doesn't have any evidence, sir.

There's a wedding package booked
under the name of Prakash.

The number and address with us are in agreement.

I've shared Prakash's picture with you.

Use it for face identification and confirm it.

But there's no album in the studio.

They've given it to Sen Color Lab in Kalavasal.

-Do you have that lab's phone number?
-I do.

-Send them the photo and inquire about him.
-Okay, sir.

Hello? Sen Colorlab.

Alanganallur station SI speaking.

Yes, sir?

Did Sekaran collect his album?

Sir, he told he'll come to collect it.

-But he didn't turn up.
-The album's with you, right?

Yeah, it's here.

Okay, I'll call you back.

What's with the sudden inquiry, sir?

You last met Sekaran on the 5th.

-Why did you meet him?
-Shakunthala…

Didn't you tell him?

Forget about her.

You tell us.

-Why did you meet him?
-Sir…

He wanted to borrow some money.

I met him regarding that.

Where did you meet?

Here, in this tea stall.

At what time?

It must be around 1:30 p.m.

Where do you have your eyes?
Can't you hold it properly?

You made the mistake, and you're blaming me?

Hey, leave it.

He wouldn't do it on purpose.

It must be an accident.

-Why would you--
-Exactly.

Listen to him.

-You listen to him. Why should I?
-Gosh!

Nobody needs to listen to me.

Get another tea and move on.

Talk to them, and we'll only get humiliated.

Sekaran!

Hey, Yogi!

How did he look?

Who, sir?

The one who dropped the glass.

Sir, he was in a dirty lungi.

His shirt buttons were undone.

He was smoking, sir.

He had a scar on his eyebrow.

He also had a line tattooed on his left arm.

Sir, it's Kadappara Murugan.

Sir, that's not a cane. It's a crowbar.

I read that he was arrested yesterday
and is now in Koodalnagar.

You dog! How dare you lie to me!

-How dare you?
-Sir, sir…

Why are you beating him up
in the name of investigation?

He has an FIR filed in his name.

If something happens to him, we'll be in trouble.

Sorry…

You idiot! Tell us the truth.
What did you do?

Sir, if I took the cash that day,

why would I be arrested
for picking locks today?

So you know he had money on him.

Of course, I know, sir.

He himself said he had eight lakhs with him.

So, I believed him.

You're calling me a vagabond?

I was carrying seven and a half lakhs in this.

Along with your 50,000,
I now have eight lakhs on me. Buzz off.

I wanted to snatch that bag.

So I kept a keen eye on him.

As I was lighting my beedi,
I missed my chance of swiping him.

Please, trust me.

Don't talk like a saint, you moron!

You think we'll believe your stories?

-Hey!
-Hey, watch it!

Buffoon! Look how he drives!

-Hey…
-Sorry, sir.

They're being a nuisance on roads.

My husband's missing.

Did he come here then
if it was parked only yesterday?

Yes, he did, sir.

There was a Shiva Linga picture on the rear side.

He said he'll give the money to Thyagu
and get back his documents.

Did you withdraw the money?

Where are you?

Also, he's not that important
of a person to hide his body.

Shakunthala, didn't you tell him?

You tell us.
Why did you meet him?

Sir, he wanted to borrow money.

I met him regarding that.

As I was lighting my beedi,
I missed my chance of swiping him.

Believe me, sir.

He left as he spoke on his phone.

Sekaran got his last call
at 1:48 p.m. from this number.

This number is switched off now.

I called him at 6 p.m.
but his phone was switched off.

His phone was switched off.

His phone was switched off.

Why did we believe him?

Who are you talking about?

Sir…

Si… Sir.

Sir.

When I first asked you about Sekaran…

What did you tell me?

-Say that again.
-Sir…

Sir.

I told you he took a white car.

Sir…

-Sir… Sir.
-Hey, get up.

What did you say before that?

Sir… He went to his shop.

Sir!

And then?

He… came for a shave, sir.

Sir!

-Sir… He…
-Go on.

He…

-…got a phone call.
-What?

He received a phone call, sir.

He answered that call
and left in that car, sir.

Sir!

Sir.

What did he say during the phone call?

"Didn't you ask me to come this evening?"

"Why the change in plan?" he asked.

Sir… Sir.

He did receive a call.

And indeed, he answered that call.

But what did he say during that call?

I just told you.

"Didn't you ask me to come this evening?
Why the change…"

Sekaran did get a call.

But he spoke to Prakash, his customer,

and not to the person you said.

-Sir.
-It was about getting the marriage photo album.

Here is his call log.

Before that call, neither Thyagu
nor his men called him.

You better spill it out.

Who is it?

-It says, "Prakash Nagercoil."
-Hey.

-He's my customer. Get me my mobile.
-Okay, brother.

-How are you?
-I'm good, brother.

-All good at home?
-Yes, thank you.

You've called out of the blue.
What is it about?

I came to Trichy to attend a function.

I thought I would collect the album if it's ready.

Oh, okay. Where are you now?

Near Mattuthavani, brother.

Mattuthavani? Are you already in Madurai?

Yes, brother.

Oh, God! You could have
given me a heads-up.

I'm at Alanganallur right now.

It might take an hour
or so even if I start now.

It's alright, brother. I'll wait.

Looks like you'll be
waiting out on the street.

Okay, listen.

Come to Kalavasal.

Your album is at Zen Color Lab.

I'll come there straight
and get it for you.

You can join the four-road
if you go via Achampattu.

Okay, brother. No problem.

I didn't expect him to come today.

It's already 1:45 p.m.

After shave, I've to go there to meet him.

Get him his album and come back
to meet this guy at 4 p.m.

It all comes together at the same time.

What?!

Brother… brother…
Sekar brother…

Brother?

Brother…

Brother.

Bro… Brother!

Oh, God! Brother?

Sekar brother, what happened?

Oh, my!

Brother.

Brother!

Here, drink some water.

Come on. Drink it, brother.

Br… Sekar brother!

Brother.

Brother?

Gosh!

Oh, my!

Sekar brother.

Okay.

Calm down.

Relax.

-Hello.
-Where are you?

-What is it?
-We have an event to attend today

Do you remember that?

You become enthusiastic
whenever it's a gathering with your family.

But you can't even come on time
if it's my family gathering.

I'll come soon. Hang up now.

After that…

I went to attend my sister-in-law's
reception with my family.

-Food is ready. Let's go.
-It's like a fish market up there.

Sit down. We'll go after some time.

I dropped my wife and son
at my in-law's place,

and came back to the shop.

Why did you have to die in my shop?
To make me a murderer?

I never wronged you.

Oh, God!

I'm sorry, brother.

But I've my family to tend to.

I see you as God.

Please forgive me, Sekar brother! I'm sorry!

It all happened on the spur of the moment, sir.

Everyone in town knows about

the problem between Sekar and Thyagu.

That's why…

I threw Sekar's phone at Thyagu's crusher.

I was banking on him taking the blame.

I'll tell you what happened after that.

You went to buy meat the following day.

To steer clear of suspicion,

you fed the dogs Sekar's body parts

that you had stored in your fridge.

Hey!

Go away.

I said go.

Hey, shoo.

Hey!

Leave me.

-My lips are sealed. I won't tell anyone.
-Then why did you shoot a video?

You tried to cover every trail.

Still, one slipped through.

I wondered why this came along.

-Ouch! Sheesh!
-It's just dung, sir.

Get some water.

Not officially.

But I want this done unofficially.

I got a hair sample from Sekaran's daughter
and sent it for testing.

And that answered everything.

-Yes, Kalidas.
-The DNA from the hair sample you gave

matched with the human flesh you found.

It's the same person.
The human flesh was covered with dog waste.

There's a chance the dog ingested that flesh

and excreted it without being fully digested.

It wasn't intentional, sir.

I… I feared my life would be ruined…

…if this came out…

…and the police got involved.

Si… I swear, sir.

I hardened my heart…

…while I chopped him to bits
and fed it to the dogs.

I never even dreamt of doing such a thing, sir.

Sir…

I'm an ordinary man.

I lead a simple life with my wife and children.

I didn't do this deliberately, sir.

My mind is still blurred
from what happened then.

I find it hard to believe
that I actually did this.

Sekaran's death was an accident.

It was an unintentional mistake.

If you hadn't hidden it,

your life wouldn't have fallen apart.

If you err, you should seek to correct it.

Concealing it with further mistakes…

…can wreck your life.

Not just you.

But, far too many individuals

fail to admit their errors.

Considering the medical evidence

and Vinayagam's admission of guilt,

it is conclusively determined that
Sekaran's death was accidental.

This court sentences

Vinayagam to life imprisonment

for hiding Sekaran's death

and for the violent murder
of the sole witness, Parvathy,

under sections 304, 201, and 302 of the IPC.

You ruthless murderer!

How could you do this to our daughter?!

For the welfare of your family,

you killed my only daughter!

Oh, brother!

Please forgive me, brother!

Please forgive me!

Brother…

I promise, from the depths of my heart,
it was never my intention.

Forgive me, brother.

I didn't do it on purpose.

Please forgive me.

The court orders the seized
eight lakh rupees from Vinayagam

to be awarded to Sekaran's family as restitution.

Yes. Tell me, Sathya.

There's been a murder, sir.

I'm on the way to the spot.

-Which place?
-Kumaram.
