Good day, Aiyanar?

The whole town is off to see the Holy man, aren't you coming?

I was told the owners of the palace...

...are visiting for a few days

They have said they'll sell it to me

It has been shut for 5 years, right?

That's why I'm going to clean up the place

What about the girl who ran away?

They've traced her

They said they'll be here within 2-3 days

Take the blessings of the Holy man on my behalf too

Start the car

What palace? What is the deal?

You're new to the town So you don't know

At the end of our town is a palace belonging to the old zamindar

Many acres wide worth millions

Caretaker is Aiyanar for now

He was the caretaker for so long

He intends buying it now

But the problem is, the landlord has 3 heirs

2 sons and 1 daughter

The girl ran away with the servant

Only if she signs the contract can the palace be sold

They were searching for her for so long

They must have finally found her

See how smart Aiyanar is

Even before buying the palace...

...he has struck a deal with a foreign company

He's making a huge profit

You wait here I'll go and take a look

Are the preparations going on for the festival of our Goddess?

Yes, very well

Our Goddess is being taken this Friday on a procession

You are travelling through our town

We feel sad you are not stopping by

You know how important the project Mukkoodal is

No, Guruji, it's just-

I'll definitely come when the time is right

Aiyah!

What is it?

It's a termite hill, right in the center of the house?

Only because it was locked up for 5 years

Maybe this place is-

Don't let your imagination run!

Go and do your work

Guruji, a request

You're not stopping by

But bless our ground with your holy feet please

What is this?

He must have struck the snake inside the hill

That blood must have spurted out

- Boss, I need a hand - Let's go help

I will be coming to your town very soon

Guruji...?

Until then, you must be careful on all front

Cook, check your list

Driver, are you kidding?

My aunt isn't feeling well She might pass away any day

I want to visit my home town

It's just 2 or 3 days

Then the owners of the palace will be here

You'll say this and drag it for 10 days

She raised me

If I'm not by her side, when she breathes her last...

...what will my family think of me?

I'll just run away without telling you

Then you just have to find another cook

Keep grumbling like this

It's time for my daily quarter Keep 2 omelets ready for me

What a drunkard! Wonder why he was hired!

'I thought I saw someone standing over there'

'What bad timing for the current to go off now'

(girl sobbing)

Who is it?

Who is it?

Who is there?

Tell me who's there

(louder sobs)

Who's there?

Why are you crying?

Wh-who?

Oh my God!

Ghost...!

Who is closing the door?

Open it Open the door

Oh God Save me!

Somone please save me

You drunken slob!

Come and save me

Come here and open the door

What are you doing?

Look behind you!

Easwari?

Eas- Move

- Brother, I'm here - Easwari, come

Good day Are you well?

- This is my son - Good day

What happened to your 'veshti'?

It slipped off in the crowd

Give that to me

My husband's 'veshti' is inside, find it and wear it

He's blissfully unaware of standing in his briefs!

How did you live with him for all these years?

Look here, I'm not your servant for you to talk to me like this

I'm the son-in-law of this palace

Treat me with respect or I'll leave right now

Don't get angry I'm so glad you came

Really?

That's my brother-in-law!

'Wherever you may run, I'll hunt you down and kill you'

'Hey! Don't come looking for me'

'If I ever see you anywhere, I'll kill you'

Come...welcome

My sister's engagement is being held this Sunday

You must attend without fail

We will for sure

Who is this 'kulfi' ice cream?

What are you looking at? She's my daughter

She has just come back after finishing her studies

Don't embarrass us here Close your mouth

Be quiet

My son is finally doing something useful

If he somehow charms her into the palm of his hand...

...my brother's share will be ours completely

All he has is one daughter

Don't worry I'll get her

Hasn't the older heir's son arrived from Bombay?

He's newly married

He's taking his sweet time showing his wife all the sights on the way

Romance on the road!

- How is our palace? - Fantastic

Didn't I tell you?

You haven't met my relatives as yet

Wait and see

Come, sonny

Finished your sight-seeing?

Come, Murali

Welcome...welcome Do you remember me?

Aunt Easwari

The one you told me ran away from home when she was young?

We've come back now Why bring it up?

Come inside

Thanks a lot, Murali

You came as soon as I called to solve my financial crisis

Your father would have never let us sell this place

This place has been locked up and not used by anyone, uncle

At least let it come handy in solving your problems

Why didn't you come yesterday?

Did you eat?

Shall I get you something to eat?

Okay...I'll listen to all that you say

My mother will scold me

Who are you talking to, baby?

She's my daughter She's slightly retarded

Will you come back at night?

Bring me something

Hey Maya!

Did you look around our town?

- How is it? - It's sooooper

And this palace is extraordinary

Grandma is suffering not able to breathe

Why don't you dial 108 for an ambulance?

When I do, they tell me not to call a million times and harass them

They say, they feel like they are making school trips to and fro

Only the ambulance's tires are getting worn out

Grandma isn't dying

Just dump her under a tree in the hospital premises

If it's an emergency, she can go straight to the mortuary

Grandma...!

Hello, Palsamy

You're already here?

I thought I'd send for you once she becomes a corpse

But you've come ahead of time

Who cares if your grandma is alive or dead?

We need interest

If we don't pay up...

...you'll take away even our briefs left to dry on the clothes line

You've taken up loans all over town, Palsamy

I feel so bad seeing you so humiliated

What else to do? I have no choice...

...born into a family of beggars

You belong to a landlord family, Palsamy

Here is the proof

The man standing next to me in the photo is your grandpa

He wasn't an ordinary man

Was he the grandpa like actor Kamal in 'Indian'?

No, he's the zamindar of Poovapatti

What? A rich landholder?

Even a counselor's wife walks around decked in jewelry

You claim to be a landlord's wife

And you don't even possess a good blanket

- I wasn't his wife - Then?

I was his mistress

Holy crap!

This photo isn't your only secret

You've hidden the landlord himself

Why are you telling me about your affair now?

He liked me when I was young and secretly got married to me

That is the photo we took then

The other copy is in his palace

Why are you sharing these flashback autographs now?

I kept quiet because I didn't want to ruin his reputation

But now they're planning to sell the palace, my boy

If you show them this photo and prove you're an heir...

...then you'll get a share of the profit as grandson

Its value is in millions

Millions? What are you saying?

Is this really the zamindar of Poovapatti?

He looks as dark as night Let me see him in the light

Landlord grandpa!

Grandpa

Oh no! Grandpa's gone

Oh gawd! Grandma is dead too

Grandma...grandma!

I destroyed the proof you gave me unfortunately

How will I prove I'm the heir, grandma?

Don't worry, Palsamy

Your grandma said there is another copy at the palace

Prove your lineage with that

Only then will your grandma's soul rest in peace

You're egging me on to get your loan repaid?

Even if not for you...

...I'll ask for justice for my grandma

Grandma, before the 16th day of the funerary ritual...

...if I don't get my share I'm not your grandson!

Is that possible?

This Palsamy is a bad boy, sir

It's 11 o' clock and this imbecile man is missing

Let him come, I shall give him a piece of my mind

Madhavi?

It's 11:00 p.m

Aren't you going to bed?

1 minute, I'll send this mail and come

Okay Come fast

Shameless man!

Roams around town all night and then comes late to bed

Why do you look so strange, Easwari?

When did you go to the bathroom?

My stomach has been somersaulting real bad

For the last half hour I've been in the bathroom

Half an hour?

Then...?

What happened?

I felt as if someone was lying down next to me

Who else will dare to other than me?!

Who are you?

What...do you want?

Even if you get a 10% share you'll be a millionaire, boss

Why are you suddenly calling me 'boss'?

If you set your mind, you'll be lending us money!

- Boss...! - 'Boss' sounds nice

She wasn't an ordinary lady

She was the mistress, boss

Why do you look like an owl with a heart attack?

Look there, boss

She looks like a boiled egg peeled, shining bright and white

Who is she?

Who cares who she is? Poor thing she's sweating

With my 'veshti' shall I offer to wipe her beads of sweat?

She can die of a heart attack because of the stink?

Boss, she has a tiny mole on her hip

If I ask you to teach the kids at home...

...you cook up excuses of short sightedness

Standing 500 feet away and you spot the tiniest mole 100% accurately

Who is he?

He's springing up like a mushroom

Must be a thief, boss

He has probably come to steal

What the hell? How dare he?!

It's my grandma's labor of love!

I will get him and-

He's picking up a stone, boss!

Who is it?

He seems faster than me

He's playing with pebbles

Is he a pond to throw pebbles?

Give me a stick I'll hit that mushroom head

Follow me

Where did he go?

He must be right under

Come out! Look for him

Hey! Stop Who are you?

We came to take a photo

Photo? You creeps!

Wait till I catch you

Run...run

This is a dead end

Boiled egg! Listen to me

Let me jump over this side

Wait for me I'm coming

Thief

Thief...!

If you hold someone like this...

...he won't try to escape even if he's an original thief

Thief...yes I'm a thief

I won't let you go You're trapped

Don't let me go Please don't

Excuse me, we are the main thieves

We'll turn in as approver

No...no I'm the boss

Hold me tight

You're the main culprits?

You're dead meat

Thief!

Don't let me go

- Move... -What happened?

Who are they?

They came to steal and got caught

Do we look like thieves?

I wanted to know if I could be the cook here, master

Master? That's me

Shut up

Only you should have come for the job

Why bring these two accompaniments along?

I make the gravy

They add the onions and white garlic into it

How will they assist? By flinging stones at me?

That wasn't us

There was a head like a mushroom here-

You've got the job Why rake up all that?

Who are these people?

They are the new cooks I have recruited

We'll be here for only a few days

As soon as we register the property in Aiyanar's name...

...we'll go our separate ways

Why do we need a new cook?

My brother-in-law has hired you

Start your work in the kitchen

Okay, safari suit master

I need to test your culinary skills Cook something for me to sample

What do you want?

Chicken curry, fish fry minced mutton, minced egg

Crab soup, turkey roast and prawn masala

This is the menu for lunch now

I'll think about what you have to cook tonight

Let's go in, dear

Now do you realize why they are selling the palace!

Before they finish eating...

...let us find the photo and rake in our share

Wait, 'akka'

I won't let you go

- Who are you chasing? - My elder sister

Poor kiddo...!

Why don't you get her treated?

We've tried everything, sir

Nothing has worked How much can I spend?

Come, try to catch me...you can't

Run...run...run

Is he hurt badly? How is he now?

Doctor is checking

Why are you scrutinizing me like the fuel gauge in a gas station?

You smart ass! What are you doing here?

The old cook left all of a sudden

He came asking for a job as cook

We decided to employ him, since it's for a few days only

He's reformed now

Easwari ma, why are you standing all around me?

Master, what happened to me?

That's what we want to know

You're addressing me as if you work for me

What happened to you?

Easwari ma, I'm seeing you in a sari for the very 1st time

You look as beautiful as Goddess Mahalakshmi!

He calls her beautiful when she looks like a wigged villain of a Chinese film

He has forgotten recent events because of the hard knock

Looks like he has total memory loss

He has gone back 25 years

He'll get better eventually of his own accord

You don't need to spend on medication

He'll recover on his own slowly

Easwari ma...! I'm completely alright

You go and take rest I'll get back to work

I'm your wife We are married

However much you may like me don't raise your voice like this

If your brother hears this, our love will leak, right?

He has just now fallen in love, boss

Looks like he'll become his father in 2040 only

People usually forget the past if they bang their heads

This man has forgotten the present too!

Yuck!

Registration is ready for tomorrow I'll pay you as soon as it is done

Don't we know about you?

If you give me the parent document I can do all the ground work

Maya, give me the documents

Why is Maya screaming?

Maya, what happened? Why did you scream?

How did this happen?

I don't know

Cupboard was filled with water

Pipeline is broken on top That's how it must have leaked

Oh no! Papers are now wet and ruined

What do we do now?

It might take a few weeks to organize the new papers

If you want, you can go home

We'll get it ready by then

We can't keep travelling back and forth

Son, I know a lot of people in the registrar's office

If we go there straight, I can get it done in 2 days

It makes sense to finish the work and go

That's right Let's go

Do you have to go?

Yes, if we finish it quickly, we can go back home soon

Why?

I'm a little afraid by the things happening here

- You're scared? - Please stay with me

Ther are so many people here I'll be back in just 2 days

Until then, don't confuse yourself by letting your imagination run

Relax

I had to go to Tirunelvelli urgently

So I wasn't able to invite everyone

But you must attend my sister's engagement

We'll come for sure with the whole family

You attend to the paperwork

Shall we leave?

Let's go

Come, onion and white garlic

Did you check out all the stuff in every nook and corner here?

Boss, 2nd room on the left in the 1st floor is Maya

1st room is Madhavi

In the bedroom on the right is Easwari

What about the maid?!

She sleeps in the verandah

I asked for the photo and you come up with...

...the geography of who lies where!

My future life lies in my grandma's history

It's the only proof of my lineage

Somehow we must find it

Why are you jabbering nonstop?

Go to bed

Looks like your face has lost a few kilos

I've trimmed my moustache, no?

So why are you lying outside here with us?

Moron! I'm not your employer

I'm just another employee like you

After his head injury, you know he's half a lunatic

Is that why he trimmed his moustache to look young?

You call him young? You junk hea-

Hey! Go to sleep

"Here is milk for you Fruits from your beau"

Usually people go bonkers after they fall in love

His case seems topsy turvy!

Let's attend to our work

Okay, boss

Easwari? Easu-

What is it?

I got you 'masala' milk your favorite drink

This is called 'midnight masala'

Like jaundiced eyes make the world look yellow...

...to a lunatic, everything seems like a loony bin!

I don't want any milk Go back to bed

- Easwari! - What is it?

If you don't drink this milk, I'll slit my own throat

I'll drink that damn milk

Drink it up fast

Baby corn soup is also waiting!

- What happened? - It has no sugar

Give it to me It seems sweet enough

Idiot...! My lips touched it, right?

That's why it's sweet to you

Put some sugar in it I'll drink it

If I get caught with this nutcase I'll have a sleepless tonight...!

Here

Boss?

Master! Forgive us

I'm not a thief anymore

I've reformed, master

Master?

Whatever wrong route the zamindar might have taken...

...I'm also a product of his labor of love!

I swear, master This is the whole truth

Trust me

Why are you hitting your head for my grandpa's extra desires?

Even shopkeepers sell bit materials in the side

What is wrong if my grandpa slept with my grandma on the side?

Boss, 1 minute

He's turning him around like a remote car

He seems to be sleep walking, boss

How sad to be suffering this way?

This is a lucky disease

Sleep walkers won't get diabetes at all, boss

Really?

If sugar is controlled for those who walk 2 kms...

...how will someone who walks all night be diabetic?

If I punch you, your nose will bleed

Go look for the photo

At this time of night, whom are you 'hide and seek'ing with?

My husband of course

He's being all lovey dovey at odd times of the night

I can't even go to the bathroom

He drew my face with a chalk on the bathroom wall...

...wrote 'I love you' and ran away

That yucky face like a slit open watermelon was yours, huh?

Dad?

Why are you awake at this time of night?

- I was searching for my dad - Look how well matched we are

You're searching for your dad I'm searching for my mom

My son is wooing her with such classical poetry

1st time I'm seeing a mother gloating over her son's flirting skills

- Dad...? - Maya, 1 minute

Instead of looking for our parents...

...shall we talk about when we'll become parents?

With that slap, looks like your son will get epileptic fits!

And you're laughing like a maniac here

He takes after his dad in getting slapped

Uncle, keep him under tabs He's behaving badly

You don't worry I'll take care of it

Who are you, my boy? Related to the landlord?

He's asking his own son if he's related to him

Your husband has lost it

Easu...?

He's like a sniffer dog hounding me now

- Let me scoot - Why push me?

This sapped zapota must have been zamindar's kiss-ass

If I tap him in the right spot I'll get all the details on the dot

You seem to be drooling all over Easwari of late

Between me and Easwari-

Is there a canal flowing?

No...love

Our master knows?

No, he'll kill me if he gets to know

- Shall I tell him? - Please don't!

If you don't want this affair to be leaked...

...you must open whatever I want

What?

Where did the old zamindar keep his most important stuff?

In a box under the neck of the wild buffalo upstairs

That buffalo has given custody of his secrets to his own breed!

- I'll go right now - Wait, wait

What?

Tell me an idea how to make Easwari my wife

Rape her and they will get her married to you!

- Will that work? - Not for your body

I don't mean rape I mean the wedding

If this can work, all that will automatically follow

So many photos here like it's a studio

Boss! I found it

Let me see

This doesn't look like my grand mother

She isn't yours She is my grandma

So do we both share the same grandpa?

Get lost, you moron

Grandpa it seems!

If we dig too deep, whole town will stake a claim

Then if we split the palace we won't even get a brick!

So all our labor is a waste, boss?

It was our grandmothers' labor of love squared!

Forgive me, Easwari

Only if I rape you, will I be able to wipe out your brother's arrogance

I rolled a 4 Now it's your turn

Baby?

- Who are you playing with? - My 'akka' of course

Sister?

I can't see anyone

You mad fellow! She's right in front of me

You're mad and you're calling me mad?

Ask your invisible sister to roll a dice now

'Akka', please play

Why is he running like he has been operated with a rusted blade?

What happened?

What was that scream?

Master, it's our boy

Why are you standing around in your underwear?

How do I-

Easwari What happened?

How do I explain this?

Forgive me, master

Out of a greedy desire to force you to get your sister married to me...

...I tried to rape her Nothing happened

- He's my husband now - He's not your husband

He's a servant in this house

Now I know how he lured you

I didn't get a chance to do this 25 years ago

Now I've got it

- Rukku? - What?

All kinds of things are happening in this house

- So what? - Don't sleep alone

I'll keep you company

Find someone else, you drunkard!

Go...go I'll get you someday

Oh...you? What?

'Akka' called you

Sister? Or mother?

Sister

Mad girl

Getting her mother and sister mixed up

As long as my job gets done, it's fine!

Rukku?

Where did she go after calling me over?

She's faster than me

You showered and got ready?

Rukku, if you hide, do you think I can't find you?

I'll come and get you

Who is it? Who is there?

Samikannu?

Samikannu? Where are you?

Ras 'anna' where's the driver?

I'm also looking for him Nowhere to be seen

I told Aiyanar not to hire drunken slobs

Who knows where he has passed out

The procession will start by the time he comes

- You all leave - Aren't you coming?

No, dear, I got some work in town

I'll finish it and then join you

I've informed the temple trustee

He will take good care of you

What is special today, sir?

This Friday is New moon day

Solar eclipse starts early in the morning

It's a very bad omen

Its malefic effects will affect even our Goddess!

So to negate the bad effect...

...all the villages join to take a procession of the 8 Goddesses

...on the day of solar eclipse and cleanse all the idols in the river

Malefic effect will be erased is the traditional belief

Today is the turn of our village Goddess

- Aunt...? - What is it?

A chap over there is throwing flowers at me

Who? Is it the sixth palanquin bearer?

How did you guess so correctly?

He targeted me even before you

Aunt, he has picked up another flower

Look at my man's skill!

You should attend the festival, carry the palanquin, do your job...

...and leave without making any trouble

You shouldn't throw flowers on girls and play with them

Who are you to tell me?

- Shall we leave? - Yes, let's go

- Her boy friend - Does the girl know that?

I've just started flirting with her

It'll take some time to fall into bed

Brother said he'd bring the jeep and come here, can't find him

- This chap?! - Where is he?

Aunt, look behind

Why does he keep hounding us?

Let's get out of here fast

If you are white and adorable like a bunny rabbit...

...men will get smitten by you

That's not his fault

It's my fault for being born beautiful

Don't you think this is slightly over the top?

I don't understand a word of what you're talking?

What can I really say? Look behind and see

He's following only me

Come fast

He's taking a photo of us on his cell phone

He seems to be getting turned on looking at our backs

Cover yourselves up

He's following us whichever alley we go to!

Look there My Lord and master!

My sweetheart!

You'll throw flowers on us?

Now look! I'll throw flowers back at you

If you're really brave, fling it back at me now

Easu

Stop calling me 'Easu'

Throw your stick in such a way his rib bone breaks into bits

You're rattling without realizing

I'm not holding this stick to fight

But to support myself

I was this brave lion and he made me lean like this

He'll aim a single flower at the hip, like bull's eye!

Imagine what he'll do with a string of them now!

Aunt, we're in a safe place

Even if my spouse is weak co-travelers are in no way meek

Come on, attack!

Take off your jewelry and give them to me

Be brave, aunt

Nothing will happen to us

Not only our jewelry

They can't even touch the tip of our nails!

Do you know martial arts?

- What just happened? - What were you looking at?

When there's a fight, you must pay attention

- Give her the stick - And then?

First give it to her

One punch to his face

Twist and turn his hand

You should have seen how he grabbed his neck

Spun him around in circles and threw him in mid-air

Rather than think how to attack others...

...easier to plan how to defend yourself

Let's rush from here

Whats the problem??

You got into a fight already, Son in law?

Son in law??

- You know him? - He's Madhavi's brother

Brother?

Yes, he's a lawyer at the High Court

You don't know him because you didn't attend my wedding

I'd have told you earlier

Grandmaaa...!

I thought I'd get settled for life with my legacy

But like a mongrel let loose, my landlord-grandpa...

...has had multiple flings to last him a lifetime

Better stick to loans and spend my days without dreams

Boss...boss Chicken curry ready

If we make the gravy we're all set for lunch

He is really living the role of a cook instead of only faking it

- Why are you dull, boss? - I need to powder my face

You camphor nosed fella!

No photo, no share, the chap who came with me is missing

Are you bothered about any of this?

So what if you don't find the proof

You'll definitely get a share in the legacy

But you must listen to all that I say

How is it, only today, from your dented mouth...

...scented words tumbled out?

Boss, you know that head turning heart breaking glam doll Maya?

If you woo her and trap her you'll get a share for sure

Take your leg off me!

Sorry, boss I went a little overboard

How's my idea?

Sounds like a good plan

But I'm 'leftover cooked rice' She's a foreign burger

Can the two mix?

Elephant will never know its own strength, boss

Will a cat know then?

For her color, height and personality...

...in this house, you are the only perfect match

It's a perfect fit, boss

- Take care - Thank You

'Made for each other' is the perfect phrase

I know, for her color, height weight and personality...

...in this house, I am the only perfect match

I didn't mean you

Look there

Who is he?

Looks like the brother of an undertaker

Palsamy, I'm tired Get me some coffee

You come in

Are you the cook? Is there anything to eat?

Khushboo idly, soft and spongy, want some?

Who are you? A relative?

No...exclusive!

Why are you standing here? Come inside, son-in-law

Son-in-law?

Not blood related But by marriage

He's Madhavi's brother

I thought he was engaged to Maya

That's a good thought

If their chemistry is good maybe we can fix them up

Palsamy, you and your voodoo-ed wretched tongue!

You're egging on my reticent brother

Why are you talking so loudly like a bike with a faulty silencer?

I wanted to get my son married to my brother's daughter

You poured acid into my aspirations!

How will I fulfill my dream?

He'll dish up tomato rice and you can fulfill your wish-list

Boss, competition is heating up now

One is a six footer Other is a shorty

What will you do?

6 footer or 6 incher that chick is mine

Palsamy is a bad boy!

Ravi, you've come all the way from Madras for the case in Madurai

Is that case so important?

Important client and they adjourned it for next month

Meanwhile you called and here I am

Massive palace Looks magnificent

Scary too

I have no clue what's wrong here

Do you believe in spirits?

As in liquor?

I knew you would ridicule me!

I mean ghost

Maya has also felt its presence

She's used to living in a small space with 100 flats bunched together

This is 1 sprawling palace in 100 acres

That too, it's so quiet

The smallest sound will be terrifying

Madhavi...what's wrong?

I don't mind anything happening to me

But I don't want my husband hurt

Don't pile your mind with negative thoughts

Ravi, do you remember the 2 wheeler accident...

...during my engagement?

I never told you this

All the doctors we consulted said I can never concieve

He knew and still he married me

I've consulted all the best doctors trying to conceive for his sake

Even before coming here I went through some tests

I'm tensed, wanting the results to be positive

But the ambience here is scary

Worse is, registration has got delayed and we can't leave now

He thinks my fears are misplaced

How can an educated girl like you be so silly?

Till you leave I'll be here with you and prove your fears are false

I'm here for you Stop worrying

What, dear?

Behind you

I can't see anything

I saw it

You're really upset Go and take rest

Listen to me, dear

Cops...?!

Did a man come here claiming to be a lawyer?

Yes, why do you ask?

He's not a lawyer He's an accused

He hit 5-6 men and they've been hospitalized

6 footer is now out of the game

Then what about the shorty?

I don't even consider him as my competition

He isn't that kind of man

That's for us to decide

Call him

We must take him to the station to interrogate

He's not at home

Inspector

1 minute...?

Instead of coming with a team to nab a professional accused...

...you've come alone, as if you are taking

...your due from a street vendor

The man you want is inside, I'll help you

Lawyer sir

Mr Lawyer?

Maya madam sprained her hip She wants to see you immediately

Look how he's on his toes to massage her hip!

Come, sir

Please come

Got caught?

Inspector, whether you hang him upside down and dunk water...

...or thrash him on the floor

...do show me a demo now, sir

Why does he hate you so much?

Now he's giving a bear-hug!

He's my friend

Is this your sense of humor?

I was so scared

What brings you here?

2 months since I got transferred

You were getting into the jeep at the temple festival

What are you standing here for?

Go and bring some tea

Keep an eye on your cook

He's hell bent on sending you to hell!

Shift the other eye on that girl

She defends you to the ends of the earth

- What's up? - Stop building castles!

Yov! Palsamy, I wonder what you have against me?

If someone bills the shirt I wanted to buy, how will I feel?

Don't get you

I'm not the cook here the way you seem to think

In an indirect way this palace belongs to me

Only if I lasso Maya I can repay my loans

Why don't you do it?

How can you say it so easily?

If she's a local model, I can lure her with Indian sweets

She's ultra modern

I don't even know how to inch my way up to her

Every girl in this world will have 1 weak point

Find that out and you'v got your point!

You're a lawyer You know all the points

I'm not you, right?

Tip me off with a point

That's all? Come with me

Your point is very weak

As per proved formula, all females are frightened of cockroaches

Maya is in the shower

Throw it in and she will come out screaming in fright

You'll be standing out

Body and body will dash Point will automatically work

Super idea! But you won't gloat to anyone that it was your idea?

Of course not

What are you doing?

Taking safety measures when we fall and roll

I'm adjusting the cot

She'll come out anytime

Go and throw it fast

Is the 'fall and roll' trick for you?

Then go...why are you so over enthusiastic?

Hey! Wait

It has gone under the cot

I thought she'd come out wrapped in a towel

This roach trapped itself there

Let's catch it

Wow! She's like a 'tandoori' chicken...

...wrapped up in a silver foil

If only I get her...

...I'll build a temple for you

Hunt for the cockroach I'll keep an eye on her

You'll eye her?

Don't I have to tell you where exactly to put it?

- That's right - So hunt for it

What are you doing here?

Really heavy!

Give that to me

So...sorry

Take it

Hey...!

Will you just barge in to serve tea at any odd time?

You won't tell what you saw here, right?

I won't..

Is the visual proper?

But why all this?

My sister is scared of something here

To prove her wrong...

...I'm fixing cameras around the house

Madhavi isn't imagining it

I've also sensed someone following me quite a few times

Look properly

Your octopus eyed cousin or the cook Palsamy maybe

Camera has shifted towards the wall

Turn a little to the right

Check now

What happened?

I thought I saw a figure standing here

No one is here

I saw it in the monitor

You'd have seen one of the dolls here

I don't know why all of you react so strangely to this place?!

What are you doing here?

'Akka' called you

- Who is that? - Selvi 'akka'

Shut up and go Nutcase!

Why are you still standing here?

Troubling me in the middle of the night!

If you still bother me I'll kill you

Loony face! Where are you looking?

Baby?

What are you doing here, dear?

This is how she'll come like a half crazed whacko

Why are you here at this time of the night, sir?

I had a splitting headache

Can you make a cup of coffee for me?

Go and lie down next to your mother

She's wacky in her head Ignore her, sir

Baby, whom were you talking to last night?

To my 'akka' only

Madhavi 'akka'?

Maya 'akka'?

- No - Then?

This is Selvi 'akka'

Where does she stay?

Right next to you

I can't see anyone

She's looking right at you

Don't you see her?

How does she look?

Like this

Good day

Aiyanar, he is late for his own sister's engagement

Work kind of dragged a bit

Let's go in

Where's my husband?

He said he'd go home freshen up and come

Let us not miss the auspicious time

Come soon

Move

We shouldn't be late in serving the food

Instead of stringing along Maya you're stirring the gravy?

Maya wants a groom who is a city boy with a 6 pack

Loaded passbook

Many followers in Facebook

He should be super it seems and a singer too

How can I fulfill these requirements?

You should change into Mohammed of Ghazni

Maya is a Hindu Why should I convert?

You should keep trying till you succeed I meant

If you try, even trains can ply on tar roads

I hereby announce, Valarmathi, sister of Aiyanar of Koviloor...

...will marry Chinnayan, son of Nagaraj of Melur

...on the 6th day of Karthigai

...as decided by the elders gathered here today

Exchange the plates with your offering

Why are you still awake?

Not feeling sleepy

- Thanks for the coffee - Okay, sir

Jakkamma predicts good time for all of you

Maiden of this house will be married soon

Oracle of Jakkamma

Hero of her heart will come in search of her

Good times ahead Auspicious times

Jakkama's words-

Hello?

Ravi...?

Murali...what happened?

I've been hunting for you everywhere

Tell me

Come down I'll tell you

Listen to me

Move aside

(babble of voices)

Sonny, look at this tragic occurrence

They were always willing to give their lives for the palace

I never treated them like servants at all

They were more like my own brothers

I won't spare the killer

They've been killed somewhere and dumped into this river

Old man...?

Who came to the palace to foretell last night?

I think it was Sangili

Hey Sangili!

Someone has come in search of you from the palace

From the palace?

Why are you running like this?

I don't know anything Let me go, sir

Tell me the truth

What did you see at the palace?

Why did you run away in fright?

Don't let anyone stay there, sir

Leave that place at once

Your lives are in danger

What are you saying?

One of the inmates of the palace has been possessed by a spirit, sir

I swear on Jakkamma I saw it with my own eyes

'When I came to the palace last night-'

'Maiden of this house will be married soon'

Save m-

I saw it killing a man in the most gruesome manner

Can you identify the person?

That's difficult, sir

But the spirit has possessed a girl, sir

It's not an ordinary harmless spirit

It was very ferocious

Its fury has not subsided at all

Take it, sir

This is an egg sanctified for 41 days in the cemetery

You take it home

This egg will identify the person the spirit has possessed, sir

I don't-

Don't hesitate, sir

We don't know who else it will kill

We already have 3 victims

Go soon, sir

'There is something there'

'I thought I saw someone standing here'

'Right next to you'

Take it, sir

In this world there are many powers beyond our perception

Have faith, sir

The cook left without giving us any notice

We thought the drunkard driver had passed out somewhere

We saw the servant even last night

All this is shocking even to us, Inspector

Call everyone to assemble here

We must question all of them separately

Do you suspect us?

Lawyer is here Clarify with him

This is normal police procedure

We have to cooperate

What?

Hey! White garlic Wait for me

Taking your dirty clothes to wash them in the river?

Someone killed 3 servants who worked in this house

And threw them into the river

Do you expect the corpse to be thrown in front of your house?

The three dead men worked in this place

Only you and I are left

They are original We are duplicates

We know that

But the killer doesn't, right?

Inspector has told us not to step out till this case is solved

That's why the whole family is closeted inside

If we go out, we'll be the prime suspects

Get back inside

Do you believe firmly the spirit is called Selvi?

Our servant's little girl will always talk of a Selvi 'akka'

Let's try our luck

'Mortuary'

Wait...wait Don't let them go in

The entire town is gathered here

How much longer will it take, sir?

3 bodies, sir

We can't cater to your impatience

Please wait

You wanted information on a girl called Selvi

I thoroughly checked the police records

5 years ago, a girl called Selvi ran away with the temple jewels

She is nowhere to be found

This is her profile

That girl wa-

Why do you want to know about her?

Already 3 murders in the village-

That priest's daughter Selvi?

She disgraced our entire town Why discuss about her now?

Move...move aside

Let them bring the body out

Selvi was a good girl, sir

Don't believe what they say

You are-

I'm the priest's daughter

Selvi grew up in our house

Though she and I weren't blood sisters...

...we grew up like siblings

Hello...?

Will you surely chase away the groom who is coming?

Why this silly doubt?

So far, I've packed away 11 prospective grooms

How can this one alone escape?

He's very affluent it seems He is coming in a car

Last week the groom who came in a TVS 50...

...I took away his bike and sent him packing

Car-groom, this week, huh?

Careful, Selvi Don't get into trouble

Hang up now I can see a car

Bull's eye!

How do we go to the priest's house?

Go straight and turn right

Thank you very much

Why do you want to go there?

To see his daughter as prospective bride

Daughter? Then he is-

If you don't know to drive...

...why didn't you bring a driver along?

I was driving properly

Some idiot hit me with a stone

Car is stuck in a ditch now

Can you lend a hand to push the car out?

Push some more

That's right...push

You want to take the car out, right?

Keep the keys in the car and come

The car will follow us automatically, trust me

What do you mean?

I told you trust me

Are you into this voodoo or black magic and stuff like that?

None of that nonsense

Just sit hidden from the road

Car will appear

If I hide and sit will the car appear?

How?

Are you new to this town?

This is my home town

I'm coming back here after a very long time

What are you doing?

This is the stone I was hit by

I'll preserve it, complain to the police...

I'll set sniffer dogs on to the culprit

And pack him off to jail Just wait and watch

Why are you making a big issue out of nothing?

Not a small incident Its an attempt to murder

I won't let him off the hook

If he had missed a little I'd be a dead body!

You must be well connected

My car has come Just as you said

Go and stop the car without buttering me

Hold on

Thanks

Is he the owner of the car?

Sorry, sir

I didn't know

I'm thanking you You're apologizing to me

I'm apologizing and you're thanking me!

Sorry

What's wrong with him?

Did you think he came to help you?

He came to steal your car

Watch out, this village is filled with thieves

You can't even leave a toy cycle unguarded!

And you left the key in the ignition

What planning! Okay, I'll take leave

You car is okay, no?

Someone by mistake threw a stone at you

Why preserve it?

You might as well throw it away

I won't let the culprit go scot-free

I'll ensure he or she goes to jail for at least 5 years

Where has this chap disappeared to?

Hello...where are you?

Look up right above you

This side

It's been half an hour since I came here

As a thief do you have any responsibility?

Okay, fine

Why don't you do your job in a jiffy?

What were you waiting for?

I need to bargain with you

I'll pay you the 300 bucks that we agreed upon

Not enough

It's a small stone after all that you'll be stealing

Object is small But the subject is huge!

Isn't there a difference in pick-pocketing 50 bucks...

...and stealing the same from a bank locker?

Okay, agreed I'll give you extra 50 bucks

Get the pebble nice and neat

Done!

How much I need to talk to get an extra 50 buck!

What's he doing for so long?

Somehow this year, we must find a good girl for Murali

That's why you should perform a ritual in our temple

So I asked you to come here all the way from Bombay

Make arrangements for it immediately

We are coming here after so many years

We need to consult the priest and fix an auspicious day

Stone is missing

Found it?

I got so many items

Not just a pebble or a stone I can buy even a quarry!

I'll kill you

I only asked you to find the stone I hit him with

Is it a priceless diamond? Just a pebble, right?

If I come to such a fancy place and steal just a pebble...

...it's a disgrace to my family

Can a leopard change its spots!

If you bathe a mongrel and bring it to the hall...

...it will only go lick all kinds of rotten stuff

Instead of licking, can a dog go to a restaurant and eat?

You're talking too much Go help yourself, see you?

- What's that sound? - Bloody thieves

They broke in here?

What guts to enter the palace to steal

If we nab them they are dead meat!

Search every nook and corner

I swear I'm not a thief

Then what are you doing here at this hour?

I came only to take that stone

Why?

If you complain to the police and they bring the dogs?

Why should that affect you?

I was the one who catapulted it

Forgive me I'm leaving

Don't go that way You'll get caught

Come with me

Is he hiding in the dark somewhere?

Come soon This way

Look properly, man

Who the hell are you? What are you doing here?

Ask the girl standing right beside you

Shut up, you ass

You are to blame

I came only to steal the stuff inside the house

You stole the owner himself!

I came to save her skin

What kind of owner are you?

Looks like you will hand over the keys to her on a platter!

Must never steal in a house without a grill or any thrill

See you?

If I get caught alone they'll call me a thief

My reputation will be in tatters if I'm caught along with you!

He should not escape

Where could he be?

What?

I'm well and truly caught

What do I do now?

Remove your half-sari!

You have a real crooked mind

It is only to save you

If I cover my face and run...

...they'll chase me thinking I'm the thief

You can escape the other way

What?

Okay

Close your eyes

Close your eyes tight

Didn't you come for this?

I'll run this way and you escape

I heard a sound but I can't see anyone

Ask them to check the terrace

Hey! Who are you?

If you're a real man, show us your face and don't run

Ask Ramya to get ready soon

I've asked the groom's family to meet me at the temple

- I'll go and fetch them - Groom's family is coming?

Father, this is so unexpected

If I tell you in advance...

...some problem or the other crops up

They come into our town but don't visit us here

So I arranged this without telling anyone

Get ready I'll bring them

Selvi, what do we do now?

- Get married - I'll kill you

I want to study

I don't want to get married

If he's coming into town I can 'catapult' him away

Now they are coming to our door step!

The groom's family is here

Come quickly

Is the priest here?

He's expected anytime now

Please sit down

Careful, son

Hello? Tell me, Aiyanar

Where are you?

At the priest's house

No problem

Will you come here?

Thanks, dear

I like this groom a lot

You said you didn't want to get married at all

That was before I saw his face

Even height-wise you both won't match!

If I can get him, won't I find a pair of slippers?

I'll wear heels and adjust

What are you both whispering secrets?

We all like the groom

Only the height is a hindrance

Groom...?

Yes, groom

Mani, tell her

If height is a cause for doubt...

...you can make the girl stand next to him?

How can we allow that?

The bride and her friend are of the same height

Ask her to come

- That's a fact too - Go and stand, dear

Stand on your toes and somehow make them agree

Don't feel shy Come and stand

Aiyanar sir is here

Why did you go to all this trouble?

I told you I'd ask the priest and let you know

I was feeling restless

So I thought I'd come in person and find out

Since we are performing the ritual of redemption after a long time...

...priest feels we should get divine ordinance

Then they aren't the groom's family?

You silly old lady! They are from the palace

Groom and his family aren't coming today it seems

Tomorrow is Friday, when our Goddess foretells

You can find out if you come there

I'll take leave

Priest, please make all other arrangements

Chairman sir, they are from the palace

Our Goddess will foretell only good news for you

In this day and age, how can you believe such silly superstitions?

Just keep quiet

Our Goddess is here to prophesy

Praise be to Shakthi!

Didn't we see this girl at the priest's place yesterday?

Same girl

Her family came from North India 20 years ago to restore the temple

Both her parents died in an accident when the walls of the temple collapsed

The entire town accepted this orphan

And she's being raised by the priest now

No one anticipated this

On a Full moon day when she was just 5 years...

...she was possessed by the Goddess and she started foretelling

We believe that maybe having orphaned her...

...Goddess decided to use her body to prophesy

Due to Divine presence, whatever the girls speaks...

...will come true is our belief

Whoever wants to ask about any problem, please do so

Let's go and find out whatever is troubling you

My daughter's wedding is next week

And my eldest is laid down with chicken pox

How can You do this to us, Goddess?

She'll be fine within 2 days

I've never left anything undone in any of my vows

And even if I did please forgive me

We've been trying to find a suitable bride for my son

But not a single alliance is falling into place

You should only show me the girl of his heart

Praise be to Shakthi!

What happened?

Nothing...

Why didn't you answer my mother's question?

- Let's go - 1 minute

I don't know to talk in a roundabout way

I liked you very much the moment I met you

I want to marry you

What do you say??

Tell me, Selvi

I'm not the kind of girl you think I am

My lifestyle is totally different from yours

We won't be compatible

If you had said, you don't like me, I'd have left at once

Don't give me silly excuses

My train leaves at 4:00 p.m tomorrow

I'll be waiting for you till 3:30

I'll be most happy if you consent to marry me by then

If you don't come, I will assume you don't like me

And after that I won't trouble you

Think and let me know

Take care.

That's the last I saw her

Then they blamed her unfairly for stealing the temple jewelry

She isn't a thief, sir

Only she can tell us what happened

Maya, why are you standing all by yourself here?

I'm so bored

They said the store room contains old albums

I thought I'd see them

But I'm scared to step in

Why?

If there's any spirit inside?

How can a ghost appear when I am around?!

Then you aren't scared of ghosts?

Ask any ghost to come in front of me

I'll give it 2 tight slaps

I've also been eager to see a ghost for a long time

But the ghost is too scared of me

I take spirits to films Catch me being scared!

Come inside

Come

I never thought you'd be so brave

When I was young, I used to brush my teeth with ash from the cemetery

And scrape my tongue with the skeleton's chest bone

Only the coward looks at it as a skeleton

For one who scares others it's a mere sparrow's nest

But I'm petrified of ghosts

Cowards who can't profess their love and have a premature death...

...end up as spirits

Brave souls like me who can express their love freely shouldn't fear ghosts

So have you expressed your love?

I intend to

You'll witness it

Palsamy, I found the album

You can lock the door and come

Then who is this?

If you see a ghost, you'll give it 2 tight slaps, huh?

How will I have the guts to slap a spirit?!

You said, you scrape your tongue with the skeleton's chest bone

Words just tumbled out in a flow, forgive me

You wished to see a ghost, right?

I didn't mean it literally

Should you take my words as gospel?

Boss, why are you in such a pitiful state?

When you and Maya madam went into a room alone I was worried

I knew something like this would happen

Like what?

What happens when cotton and fire are placed near each other?

Go up in flames

Was her response real wild?!

You're way too fast, boss You've played a wild game

Who? Me?

You don't know what you're talking about

Wait, boss

Let me pacify your lady love

Any man will feel this way if he sees a beautiful girl

Just say yes and marry him instead of regretting your deed

There's no other choice

You've lost your chastity and only he can wipe away the stain

Men can make mistakes and get away with it, huh?

We won't

Boss, save me

You'd have heard of Thai massages

This is 'spirit'ual massage...enjoy!

Do I have to stick my head out to him in marriage?

No, don't...don't

'You interviewed a ghost face to face'

'Now you can view your behind'

Why didn't you tell me this before?

Did you even let me open my mouth?

Let's scoot from here

Sister, it isn't over? A little rest-

- Huh? - For you, I mean

My shirt is torn

What happened?

Boss, when did I come into the storeroom?

They must have thought of you as an antique!

We've come to Level 1 of this house only now

Let's escape before we reach Level 2

Get up...go

Madhavi, come here

Your brother has bought you sarees

Come and choose what you like best

Take whichever design you like, madam

Why are you standing still?

Pick one

Look at this

This color will suit you

Ramya...1 minute

- Keep this money - No, thank you

- Your brother paid - It's okay, take it

Tell me if you need anything else

No...no

I'm not used to all this

I haven't taken money from anyone like this

Won't you take it from your Selvi?

Selvi?

'It was not my fault at all'

'They beat me to death unfairly'

'That say I went to meet Murali so eagerly, remember?'

Selvi...!

'Chairman called me to the temple saying it was some urgent business'

I'm on the way to meet someone

This is an emergency Get into the car

'He forced me to come even though I said no'

'Only when I reached the temple I found out...'

'...someone had stolen the jewels of our Goddess'

'And replaced them with fake ones'

'The elders of the village were discussing about it'

We are the only few trustees

If we go to the police, it will be humiliating

'I knew who the thief was when I touched the fake jewelry'

We'll collect money the people of the village

And get new jewelry

Don't worry

The jewelry will be returned tomorrow

'I stopped Aiyanar on the way and asked him about the jewelry'

Why are you talking to me here instead of at the temple?

'After initially denying it, he ended up accepting it'

'Not only that'

How long will you survive being a soothsayer?

Take 10 lakhs from me and find a decent way to live

This is all the respect you deserve from me

Before the sun rises tomorrow, return-

I gave you a chance to survive because you're a young girl

Did you listen?

Why couldn't you have taken up my generous offer?

You're making me kill with the hands that prayed!

If it's a question of money or God...

...I'd choose money anytime

Aiyanar, why are you standing here?

If your car has stalled come in mine instead

Nothing of the sort Needed to relieve ourselves

That's all? Then I'll leave

Go, find her

- She fell here - She's not here

Where is she? She's missing

Don't let her get away

This is such good news Selvi is a lucky girl

Tell your mother the good news

She'll gladly prepare for the wedding

Wait, brother

I've just expressed my love to her

Don't I need to know what she thinks?

Let's see if she comes Then I'll tell my mother

Who would she ever say no to you?

She'll come definitely

Hello?

Murali...? Let's start

Ma, I'm not ready You go first

It's time for the train Let's leave now

He's found a reason to stay behind now

You go I'll bring him

You aren't the least bit responsible

You bring him in time to catch the train

I'll take care of it

We'll leave Start the car

I take responsibility to bring him to the station

Drive carefully

Come, Selvi

Murali told me everything I'm very happy now

You've found a good family to be married into

- You seem to be hurt...? - I fell on the way here

Sit down I'll get you coffee

No, I don't want all that I need to see him

Such a hurry to see him!

He's in the shower He'll come out anytime

I'll go and get coffee You sit down

You're waiting here?

Aiyanar is coming He shouldn't know I'm here

Why?

They want to kill me They are thieves

They stole jewelry from the temple and-

- Why, bro? - What else to do?

Luckily she came here No one knows, right?

That's why I stabbed her before anyone saw her

Samy?

- What is it? - You're here?

Are you ready?

Aiyanar, I thought you were busy

You said you'd come directly to the station

No, Samy called me here saying he had important work

- Important work? - Yes, bro

You're entrusting this palace to him

He must come and send you off, no?

Why this formality?

Your mother called so many times

You'll miss your train Leave right now

Bro, come here

What?

You know everything and you're packing me off?

How can I go without seeing Selvi?

If that girl loves you as much as she claims...

...she'd have come and met you by now

Isn't it evident from this she isn't keen?

No, I know she loves me She will definitely come

It's not that

What I want to say is-

As a child, she grew up the hard way as an orphan

I want her to enjoy all comforts and happiness from now

I will marry Selvi and keep her happy every minute

I know she'll come looking for me

If I wait a few minutes, I feel my life will change

Just wait and see She'll come for me

Girls here are shy They won't talk so openly

No, bro

Your mother has been waiting in the station for a long time

Please leave

Leave now

You leave, I will meet her and tell her

Go with faith I'm there for you

Come, sonny

Ask the driver to bring the car to the front

Hello...?

Listen...?

Thinking of you like my brother...

...I beg of you

I wish to live

I'll be well settled

I'll move out of the city with him and never tell a soul about this

I won't come near this town ever again

I swear I'll never come in front of you

I'll go and live somewhere else

Think of me as your sister and let me live, brother

Spare me, bro I want to live

Aiyanar, why bury her inside this palace?

It will be locked No one will ever find her

Cover it up with mud

Look over there

I wish to lead a happy life with husband and kids

Leave me I beg of you

She's not dying though we hit her so hard

Stop showing off your bravery!

Just cover up and bury her

Let her be buried alive

Do you know how much I begged all of them?

One by one I killed those who tortured me to death mercilessly

I'll kill Aiyanar also

And not just that

I'll be in this body as Murali's wife forever

Think it over, dear Isn't it wrong?

What is wrong?

Madhavi is living the life I wanted

You know how happily I left you that day

If I had gone 2 minutes earlier...

...the chairman may not have seen me on the way

I'd have seen Murali

In this very house I'd have lived as Selvi

So tell me...what's wrong with what I'm doing?

I didn't have the chance to sleep with Murali till now

Solar eclipse starts at dawn tomorrow

If I unite with him before that...

...I'll stay this way forever

No one can take me away from this body

Murali, what happened?

Murali, you're bleeding Let's go to the hospital

Don't make a fuss Such a small cut

If even a tiny piece of glass has lodged in...

...it will get infected Come with me

Why weren't you careful?

Master's son is bleeding

I'll get the bullock cart

We should lock you up in the house first

- Don't we need a doctor? - They'll take care of all that

Why are you also coming?

How can I not come?

Start the car

There's been a lot of blood loss

Put him on drips

May I leave after this, doctor?

Leave? You have to stay here for 2 days

Why stay here for 2 days for such a small cut, doctor?

Glass has cut a vein Bleeding hasn't stopped

He has to be under observation for 24 hours

- He's been admitted, Ravi sir - Thank you so much, doctor

I lied only because you really insisted

As a doctor I shouldn't be doing this at all

Even now you have saved a life only

Here is the admission form

- Doctor, did you see my sister? - She left long ago

Left?

Madhavi...?

Madhavi...?

Chicken biriyani?

They've killed 3 people who were with me

I'm really tensed and you're talking about food?

How will I know who killed them?

Bad enough the police officer is hounding me! Dumb female!

You're adding to my stress level

I can't tell now when I'll get back home

I'm on the way to see the minister

- Why are you standing here? - My husband hurt his hand

Really?

I need to go to the hospital

My car broke down

Get inside I'll drop you

Okay

Aiyanar, pick up the phone

I've been going from hospital to police station the whole day

They've killed 3 people who were with me

I won't let go of the murderer

Let me get my hands on him

Who's calling at this late hour?

- Who is this? - Aiyanar, it's Ravi

Tell me

Is my sister with you?

Yes, should I convey any message to her?

Don't let her know I'm talking to you

- Escape immediately - What are you saying?

That's not my sister

She is Selvi, the girl you killed

She has come to take revenge as a spirit

I don't understand what you just said

Aiyanar?

Aiyanar?

Do you recognize me?

Now can you see me?

Let me go

Don't do anything to me

Let me go

This is exactly how I begged you that day

Come out

Isn't it enough I killed you once?

Have you come to die in my hands again?

I'll take care of you in the morning

Only if I let you live until then!

I won't

You know what dreams I had for myself?

Did you let me?

You killed me unjustly

You stole the temple jewelry and should I be punished?

I won't let you live

You have to come out

We can't exorcise strong spirits like this, sir

She was born with divine powers

Because she was buried alive without fulfilling her dreams...

...she's so fierce

Only a Holy man, with strength and divine powers of body and mind...

...can control this spirit

One such God man is doing penance in Mukkoodal

If you ask him, he'll help you exorcise the spirit of Selvi

Hello?

Selvi is smarter than us

What do you mean?

She has discharged Murali from the hospital and taken him

It'll take you 2 hours to go and see Holy man

They shouldn't be together until then, sir

- There's a way - Wait, sir

Priest?

Why are you saying this about your own sister?

Ravi, how can you believe in ghosts in this day and age?

If you don't believe me, hold this in your hand and look at her

What is all this?

Just look

Did you listen to me?

Your brother is glaring daggers at me

I didn't want to come away

Your sister was so stubborn, forced me to get discharged

Why did go in the middle of the night to the hospital?

Will the hospital take care of him better than me?

Murali is important to you My sister is my priority!

What is this?

Some other girl can be seen in her

That is the girl Selvi I told you about

A spirit inside a girl...?

Why?

She has come for Murali

If they make out tonight...

...she'll stay forever in Madhavi's body

That shouldn't happen

If you tell Murali this like you told us...

...the danger can be averted

That is a threat to his life

And if she knows we know, all of us are dead too

I'll go and ask the Holy man how to deal with Selvi's spirit

You must ensure until then they don't sleep together

Why meet this God man?

Be here with us and we'll deal with it together

We can make sure they don't unite

It's a problem even if they don't

'If I unite with him before the eclipse...'

'...then I will be with him forever'

'If we don't, before dawn I will kill Murali'

'The life we couldn't enjoy in this world...'

'...we will enjoy in the netherworld'

If what she intends happens, we'll never get back Madhavi

My sister's future and Murali's life

Both are in your hands

Boss, shall we roll out the spirit?

You make it sound like the ghost is a mattress

If you poke your nose in a couple's love affair...

...they get spirited like the devil

Imagine if you bother the spirit itself!

Wonder how many of us will get a ghastly bruise!

Tell me

Sir, I've searched everywhere

There's only a car No one is inside

Only a broken cell phone

You search I'll come there now

What, boss?

To keep them apart why are you mixing a laxative powder in milk?

Then should I mix Ponds talcum powder?

If they drink this, they can spend time only in the bathroom

Super...but I have a doubt

What?

Can ghosts get diarrhoea?

Good doubt, give this to the ghost and we'll know

So many of you are here

Why should I be the chosen one?

Birds of the same feather flock together!

So it won't harm you That's why I chose you

I can't go alone Let's all go together

If you don't, I'll give this to your husband

He'll bug you by giving this to you as 'masala' milk

What do you say?

No, I prefer the ghost

Go and give it carefully

If she finds out, just run into the garden

Good idea You go with her

Grab the spirit's head and have a brawl

I've never in my life given milk even to a cat

Now they've chosen me to give it to a ghost

Come, aunt

Madam is in a totally romantic mood

I've been waiting so long for this day

Murali...?

What, aunt?

Drink a glass of milk before you sleep

Uncle just gave us milk

That's plain milk This is special milk

How much milk can we drink?

Drink it for your aunt's sake

- Please drink it - It's okay, no need, aunt

Didn't you hear him say 'no need'?!

What happened, aunt?

Aunt's been behaving strangely ever since uncle hurt his head

Come, aunt

Milk is spilt all over your saree, go and change

What happened to aunt?

What happened? Did they drink the milk?

Is the ghost in the bathroom?

You and your 'loosies' ideas

We nearly got caught She dropped the milk

Such a small task and she messes it up big time

What are you looking at?

You look like a Burma doll with a drained battery!

Gawd! My chest is paining

Is that my aunt?

Murali! Come fast

Your chest is paining?

Not for me...for you Lie down there

- He's dying of chest pain - What are you blabbering?

Easu is having a heart attack?

Not Easu Our boss

Boss...?

Don't screw this up Be quiet

Shut up He's dying here

And you want me to watch him die?

Only a cook knows the worth of another cook

- What are you doing? - Mouth to mouth resuscitation

Even if you gave a flying kiss...

...I'd have to clean my face with phenol

And lip to lip now?

How did the Burma doll manage to make a baby with you?!

What happened, aunt?

Murali...his chest is hurting

Life him, let us take him to the doctor

Quick...quick

Get him an ECG scan, X-ray, xerox...everything!

- We'll come behind you - We'll take you at once

I can't handle this

I won't go I won't come

Don't spill the beans Just play it cool

I won't go I won't go

I thought it was chest pain but it's gastric trouble

Let me go and sleep

Come inside Let's go sleep

After a good deal of introspection...

...I let her be with your family under your supervision

Because it's the family she has married into...

...she'll never show her true self to you

But she won't be patient for too long either

This solar eclipse, after 150 years...

...coincides with 'Maha Sivarathiri'

...the Holy night when Lord Shiva married Goddess Parvati

And at the same time as sun rise

At this time, evil forces have greater power than the good

No power can separate them if they unite during this time

That's why she has picked this day specifically

- How do we stop her, Guruji? - There are only 2 ways

One, your sister's soul should fight Selvi's spirit and come out

- That's impossible - What's the other option?

To remove the malefic effect, when the 8 Goddesses...

...are immersed in the waters of Mukkoodal at the same time

...you must bring Murali to that spot

I'll bring him right now

It's not that easy

The second the solar eclipse starts, her power will just keep multiplying

You can't do this alone

I will also accompany you

Oh God! They've gone into the room again

You missed a good chance

Was it a chance to eat 'dosa' with cricketer Dhoni?

Driver of the jeep is a ghost, not Madhavi

She'd have killed me on the way easily

Why are we wasting time? Think of an idea quickly

That lets you off the hook from thinking, huh?

'Bindi'...jasmine

You've turned into a village girl

Because you like me this way

My nephew will be spirited away by a ghost forever

Do something, Palsamy

Palsamy is a bad boy

Just keep saying this but don't move a limb

I'm going up, straight into Murali's room

Whoever wants to can come with me

I'm not so helpless to send you in alone

Let's all go together and attack the ghost

But we have to attack carefully

Let's collect all the stuff ghosts are scared of

Slipper!

Isn't it a good idea?

I meant it will be scared of slippers

- Next...? - Pictures of Gods

- Broomstick - 'Kumkum' and lemon

Sacred ash

Sir, look there!

Aiyanar...?

Hereafter no one can separate us

Lift him...lift him

Aunt...?

Always pick on me to cut the ribbon

Stop the car

Aiyanar...don't fight us - Stop the vehicle...

We need to go to the hospital

No, I don't need a hospital Get me to a temple first

Listen to me My life is in danger

Aiyanar is mad or what?

Where is he?

Suddenly your sister just left the house like a demented soul

Murali is passed out in the bedroom

He's not waking up whatever we do

Ask them all to leave the house

Shall we take Murali too?

They can't do that

Ask them to leave

The solar eclipse has started

We don't have much time

We must hurry up

No, don't hurt me Don't do anything to me

No...don't

Come fast...come

She has kept this boy under her control

We must break that hold

- Guruji? - Go...!

What happened, Guruji?

She's coming back here

She is here now

You asked me to meet you if I loved you and I did

But you kept me waiting for too long

Madhavi!

Murali...run

Guruji...?

They won't let us live in peace

Let's go

Do you think you can save your sister?

Ask him to let go of Murali

You won't?

Don't, Madhavi

Only if your sister is alive can she keep him with her

Madhavi, don't do

Don't...listen to me

Madhavi...!

Listen to me! Madhavi...don't!

We have only 15 minutes left

Leave for Mukkoodal with him right now

In this state?

Don't worry

Nothing will happen to your sister

I can help her only till this fire keeps burning

- Go fast - Murali, come

What about Madhavi?

Guruji will take care of her We have to go to Mukkoodal

Can you prevent me?

What will you do now?

Mukkoodal 9 Km

Ravi...Ravi What are you doing?

Murali...come

Don't do this

Madhavi Let him go

'I still want to give him a child'

'Your sister's soul has to fight Selvi's spirit and come out'

'She is expecting a baby'

'Happy?'

Madhavi, come out

Otherwise, the child in your womb will be fatherless

Yes, Madhavi

Doctor called and told me

I was about to tell you.. But within that...

Madhavi

This area will be 'Golden land' shortly

There will be an airport half a kilometer from here

In 1 kilometer, there'll be a harbor

Then won't the planes clash with the ships?

There is no sea nearby You're lying about a harbor

As if an airport will be constructed here?

To how many idiots I'd have sold illegal land with false documents?

Do you want to sell this place?

I do...but have you seen a buyer face to face after your sales talk?

No

Don't see Continue

If you dig up the soil here...

...you will find water just 2 feet deep

2 feet?

Then how can a house be built?

Don't interrupt, man You're killing my flow

- What's your problem? - Okay...okay

Not just that

Around this area, many schools colleges, hospitals, flyover-

They've been struggling for a bus to ply...

...for the past 10 years to the nearest town

And fat lightbulb is lying through her teeth

Don't kill it, Palsamy

Then we won't get even commission money

Hey ditcher! How dare you call me by name with no respect?

I'm not getting any share anyway

What does it matter how I call you?

Shall I talk or not?

Adjust her makeup

- Look, Palsamy - What is it, master?

I'll give you 1 week's time

If you don't sell it by then, there's a buyer ready in Mumbai

Don't be in a rush

With your commission money I must pay back their loans

Get it organized fast

Instead of me being a millionaire, breaking my grandma's secret...

...they are making me run for my money as a broker

Don't worry, Palsamy I'll give you my share

How do you get a share?

If I hook someone who is loaded...

...automatically bonus is the Goddess also

He's showing off rubbing salt on to my wound

Not just for saving my sister, but for giving me Maya also...

...you are responsible

I am the reason?

Trying to help your love mine got fixed for life

That's why

My share will be yours

Do you want some juice, boss?

You just can't be more cheap than this

I won...I won

Why is he playing running and catching?

I won

What's the matter?

He saw me packing my bags and everything

He thought I was going to stay in a hostel and study

And he hurriedly tied the sacred thread again

Don't be too hasty, master

Your sister has become a major

Now you can't do anything to me

Easu, let's boil some milk

Why would you boil milk in a broken down bungalow?
