If you jump from there

only your bones will break.

You won't die. Come down slowly.

Hello boss.

Jump or come down.

We are getting baked in hot sun. Don't we've any other work?

Hello sir.

Please come down.

I'm here to help you.

Police is your friend.

JESUS, save my SOD.

When I decided to commit suicide

...it was 4 last evening

I was walking on Pondy bazaar road.

Writing a letter to someone before killing yourself is a ritual.

Writing a letter to someone before killing yourself is a ritual.

But to whom should! write?

Anandhi, you are the only one whom I know on this earth.

But, I've a problem in writing to you.

I don't know your whereabouts.

Though I may write a letter, I can't post it to you.

But is it necessary to post any letter?

One needs a name to write a letter.

I can't find a better name than yours Anandhi.

You are divine piece of God.

So, I must tell you the reason why I'm committing suicide.

You'll sneer on hearing the reason. The reason is very simple.

How can a Tamil graduate survive in Tamil Nadu?

This doesn't look like a reason, does it?

Even I felt like that.

Not until I met Murugan last month in Tambaram-Chengelpet local train.

Move aside, madam.

Gents kerchief, sir. Kerchief sir.

1 for Rs. 5. 2 for Rs. 10.

- Murugan... - Kerchief with Star Vijay's photo

- Hey kerchief.. - You want kerchief sir?

Coming sir...1 for Rs. 5. 2 for Rs. 10.

You're Murugan, right?

Do you want kerchief sir?

You're Murugan, right?

I'm Raja not Murugan.

Buy kerchief if you want. Don't disturb my work.

Kerchief, sir...madam...

Hey Muruga...

You've the scar which you got while playing a Kabaddi game.

You are Murugan, right?

Yes, I am Murugan. So what?

Then why do you act like a stranger?

We both studied Tamil in college for 3 years. I don't deny that.

You scored 65% I scored 66%

So what?

What happened?

Back home my parents think that I'm working as a teacher here.

But I am selling hankies here.

I'm not like you.

Don't remind me the past.

- Hey Muruga... - Leave me.

- I don't want to see you. - Muruga..

3 out of my 30 batch mates got a job under minority quota.

And the rest 26 are doing unspecified work in different places under fictitious names.

I was bit lucky.

I too got a job.

What is honor?

Sit down.

Falling from one's own grace.

What do you mean by that?

It means..Sit down.

What if your father beats you?

What if your headmaster makes you kneel down in the prayer hall?

What if the police kick your bottom in public?

- You'll lose your honor. - What if we lose honor?

Sit down.

Thiruvalluvar says"

...that as long as we have hair, we apply oil & shampoo it.

But when it falls down, it is waste hair.

We put it in a dust bin.

He is talking bad.

Hair isn't a bad word.

It is a chaste Tamil word.

Thiruvalluvar says... "Die rather than live with disgrace".

Honorable souls die when disgraced rather than live with it.

Thank you sir.

Okay, write this 10 times.

Nair, a tea please.

A cigarette, sister.

What's this new habit?

Give me one.

Sexy siren!

You bastard!

He touched her.

Stop the jeep-

Sir...

Yeah.

Inspector is calling you.

Don't put off the cigarette.

Come with it.

Come.

Can't you put down the cigarette?

He told me not to...

Where was your sense?

Get into the jeep.

Why sir?

Aren't you educated?

Don't you know smoke in public is banned? Get in.

Sorry sir.

Get in.

I'm working as a teacher in this school.

The school is itself running without license.

Do you want me to salute you? Get in.

Sir...

What are you watching, man? Drag him into the jeep.

- Get in. - Sir, please listen to me.

Bloody crook!

- Sir, I was smoking inside the shop. - Get in.

If police beats you in public, it means you lose your honor.

- Your name...?- Prabhakar.

Your name is itself troublesome.

And your address?

No. 33, Pauls Mansion, West Mambalam.

Pay Rs. 250.

I don't have money sir.

You say you're a teacher. Don't you have money?

Low paid teacher.

Moreover month end.

Don't trust the teacher.

My son is studying in class 1.

I pay Rs. 500 for his tuitions.

Nowadays, they earn more than us.

Students join only Maths tuitions.

Nobody joins Tamil tuitions.

Writer, he's a Tamil teacher.

Then why did you smoke like a foreigner on the road.

As a Tamil teacher, you must have smoked a beedi.

Pay Rs. 250 & leave.

Even I am educated.

I know rules.

I didn't smoke in public place. Show me the G.0.

If that comes under a public place,

...I will pay the fine.

Though you don't have a penny in pocket, you talk about rules very well.

Stand here.

You wanted to see Government Order.

And I will show you.

Wait...

Why are you staring at me?

That's how I look.

She was smiling at you, right? Look down.

What did you say?

Actually...

Look down I say.

Tell me.

In public place...

What did you tell the head constable?

- I was smoking inside the tea shop.. - ls the tea shop your home?

Or is his wife your concubine?

- Don't talk bad about girls? - Hey...

If we beat you,

you will lodge a complaint for beating a teacher.

Make him sit with criminals with only his underwear on.

Only then he will reform.

Honorable souls die when disgraced rather than live with it.

I was sitting there as a piece of shit.

How can I live after this humiliation?

So, Thiruvalluvar is also a reason for me to commit suicide.

That's not all. There's a lot more.

But everything mean the same.

Does a Tamil graduate need a reason to die in Tamil Nadu?

I wrote all the reasons in a letter to Anandhi...and leaped down.

But I am a fool.

Before jumping down, I should've checked if there's power.

I would've attained salvation.

But destiny brought me to the same police station.

Couldn't you find a better place to die?

Showing tricks from the roof during peak hour?

Traffic got jammed for an hour because of you.

- Look at your bloody face. - Sorry sir.

I am really sorry.

Sir...sir..

Leave me sir.

- How was the feast? - Not much just fourth.

- Take it. - No sir.

Come on smoke.

I was beaten & fined for smoking in public.

When you smoke outside, we will file a case against you.

But not when you smoke inside. C'mon smoke.

Thank you sir.

Not now. I will smoke later.

Inspector is so generous that he will put you in jail for 5 years.

For the crime of committing suicide, you can only remand me.

Don't scare me by saying 5 years jail.

When you smuggle marijuana worth half million,

...5 year jail term is too little.

Did I smuggle? Just a minute.

All that I have is only Rs. 2. Just a minute.

Who will believe you if you say that I smuggled drugs worth half million?

Forget about me.

Will you earn salary plus bribe around Rs. 20000 a month?

Where will you get half a million?

- Making fun of me? - Sir...

Wait for me. I will come.

Friendly to socialize and honest in duty.

Greetings sir...you carry on, sir.

We can file drug smuggling case for half million to 5 millions.

We've reached the court. Come in the evening.

Missed it?

Get up sir. He has escaped. Get up sir.

- Catch him... - This is 303.

Suicide attempt case has escaped. Over sir.

If I stay here, police will torture me.

I've a friend named Kanaga in Tambaram.

He can get me a room boy's job in some hotel.

But I am a big fool.

I didn't know then I could travel ticket less in trains.

To go to Tambaram, I need to buy a ticket.

To buy ticket, I need Rs. 5.

I remembered that I had Rs. 5 in my shirt pocket.

I was looking for that.

Sir, give me a ticket to Tambaram.

This isn't valid. Give me another note.

Sir, all 5 rupee notes are in this condition only.

Sir, please give me ticket.

I too know that..

But all stick and present it.

Get it sticked & present it.

If I've to stick it I need to go to Tambaram, sir.

I need to buy a ticket for that.

I've only this five rupee note to buy a ticket.

- Hello. - Sir, all five rupee notes are torn...

Sir, please give me a ticket.

Bloody pain in ass!

Want to buy or give me way?

Wait, man...I'm buying ticket.

The world turned me into nothing,

but this one drop of blood turned me into God.

Sir, didn't I tell you that I don't know anyone?

For the past 2 hours, you are...

Move man..

Where is Prabhakar?

- Sir, I know only one Prabhakar. - I'm asking about him only.

He is in Sri Lanka. Oh my God!

Sir, I hurt my head twice for him,

Doctor warned me that I'll the third time.

Sir, I got hurt again.

I'll tell you the truth, sir..

He beat me and took away my train ticket, sir.

Charminar Express sir, to Hyderabad, S4 coach.

Who is it at this odd hour?

Generally they say smoking is injurious to health.

But that day I found it's danger to another person.

Very good man!

Sleep well, dear.

Hello, you shouldn't smoke inside the train.

Don't you know it?

I didn't get you.

You speak Telugu or Tamil?

Tamil.

- Oh! Madras? - Yes.

You shouldn't smoke inside the train. Rs 200 fine..

I'll leave you, if you pay Rs 100.

I don't have money, sir.

What? Don't you have money?

You're traveling in reserved compartment. Don't you have money?

Do you have ticket or not?

- Yes sir. - Show me.

Show me..

Show me your ticket..

Okay.

Give me Rs 100 and take back your ticket.

- Sir, I don't have money. - Give me Rs 100.

- Please sir... - Hey...bloody f...

For an every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

How can Newton's 3rd law not work?

Driver, stop the vehicle.

Go back..

- Greetings,sir. - Who is it?

Who are you?

Show me your face.

You scoundrel! Don't run away! Stop! I'll fire at you...

Stop man!

One more night...

One more moon...

One more memory...

Look, a fear is fast approaching from the opposite side...

A little more distance...

A few more burdens...

A little more...

...fast approaching me from the opposite side...

No one to visit...

No one to visit me...

Travelers cross the road up & down but the road remains there forever...

The pleasant moments we spent together will never fade away from my eyes...

I slept on garbage till the break of new dawn...

I don't remember when did I last smile...

Trees don't shed tears for withered leaves...

It'll not feel the pain till the root catches fire...

Pain tells me that I'm still alive...

I realise I'm not with you only when I wake from sleep...

Look Anandhi, what I'm having is marijuana.

Don't get angry... I'm helpless..

It's otherwise known as 'Sivabanam'.

Since I'm Lord Siva, I have to have it.

Do you know why I've become Lord Siva?

Because I've the authority of births and deaths, so I'm Lord Siva.

so you're my consort Parvathi though presently not with me.

So come, we will go and have a dance.

Yesterday in a city...

Inside a glass jar...

I saw a diamond...

I saw a diamond...

I remembered her eyes...

I don't have money to buy diamond...

Still I'm not worried...

I killed the shop owner...

And stole the diamond...

Once while on a travel, during night time...

I saw a golden silk sari...

I remembered your slim body...

I didn't have money to buy sari...

I didn't bother much...

I killed the clothier... Stole the girl...

Once you fall in love, you don't need money...

Once you become God, killing is not a crime...

After that, 2 years passed since I'm in Madras.

There's no street or lane I didn't loiter.

In these 2 years, I killed 22 people.

- You... 22...murders... - Hey stop it.

Why are you laughing now?

Like slaughtering goats in mutton shop... Like stuffing passengers in share auto.

Your list of murders is stretching long.

I make fools of others.

You're trying to fool me? Get lost, man.

I thought you'll pay Rs 10000,

that I can pay for my bike's due.

If the listener is fool, you'll lie that elephants will fly.

Brother, first cut your hair, then you can hack men.

Wait man...

Please hold on, man..

What happened now?

Till now didn't I listen to you patiently?

Won't you listen me for a while? Why are you getting tensed?

Put it down... it may go off by mistake.

I've come back... Put down the gun.

You've given a chair to be a pot in fear.

Thank you very much.

Okay.

Why are you lighting a lamp in day time?

Last match stick.

I can't go out for another match box.

You're right, sir.

I'm on diet, sir.

Fire is identity of wisdom.

Only wise can smoke.

He has started!

Have you ever faced death in life?

I'm 30 years old. How can I not face it?

How many?

Two, sir.

Two? When?

2 years ago, sir.

Who?

My grandpa, sir. Very good Grandpa.

How did he die?

He went to sleep but never got up.

Next?

- Last year... - Who?

My father. Very good father.

How?

He went to sleep but never got up.

Why are you repeating the same dialogue, he went to sleep but never got up.

Am I asking you about peaceful deaths?

Gory death, man!

With blood spill and flesh...

They cut my mother's throat and blood gushed out like a fountain...

Have you seen it?

I saw it.

I saw my grandpa's head breaking into pieces.

I've seen it.

Just hold on...

I witnessed my first death in the age of 10.

I was having this geometric box with me then.

It was with me...

It was with me...

It had 2 erasers, 2 crayons, 3 hen feathers and many more things..

Above all,

Anandhi, who gave me all that was with me.

Where are you taking me into the forest?

Wait... you come, I'll tell you. Come on...

Hey, we have reached very far. Tell me the matter.

I've a friend here. I want to introduce him to you.

Do you have a friend in this forest? Who is it?

Mr. Tiger.

How can a beast like tiger be your friend?

- Isn't a cat your friend? - Yes.

Like your cat, tiger is my friend.

Cats are girls' friend, and tigers are boys' friend.

Tiger is nothing but a big cat.

Really saying this?

Come, I'll introduce you to him.

If you come across a girl using the word 'Really' frequently,

It's Anandhi, sir.

She can't hold herself from uttering this word.

- Where is your friend? - Wait, I'll go and fetch him.

Mr. Tiger...

Where are you?

I'm Prabhakar calling you.

Come fast...

I've called him. He will come now..

It's getting late... When will he come?

- Oh my God! I forgot! - What did you forget?

Yesterday he told me that he is going to sleep...

So what? Wake him up and call him here...

He will be in his dreams now.

What will he dream about?

It's a big dream about a desert.

It will take long hours to come to an end.

When it's over, he will come here.

- I'll introduce him to you then, okay? - Really saying this?

Shall we play in the railway bridge down?

I used to walk holding her hand thinking about her.

She used to walk with me holding my hand thinking about the non existent tiger.

That non existent tiger always dreamed about the non existent desert.

That's our relationship.

Have you understood anything?

Very good question, man.

Looks like I got it.. But not really.

- Didn't get it? - Yes sir.

- Don't mind if you don't get it. - Why did you ask me then?

I can understand it.

- Hey wait.. - What?

Lift the lamp...

Generally happy moments of our lives pass away without our knowledge.

But! was fortunate to observe it that day.

I was relishing that happy moment joyfully.

There was a girl who was tall and thin and fair.

Her hair was a color of ginger.

There was a girl who was tall and thin and fair.

Her hair was a color of ginger.

Tony, come... come...

Hey, train is coming...

Hey, Tony is going...

- Tony, wait... - Tony, stay... wait...

Hey, train is coming. Move away..

Train is coming... move away...

Leave me, uncle...

In this tunnel I met my first gory death.

MY 409, Tony!

You would know if you'd a pet dog.

You would know the impact of it's death, like losing a child.

- My father... - Come on, dear..

He was an army man.

Nobody knew when he comes and when he goes away.

The only game he knew was spinning round carrying me.

Without bothering to ask whether I like it or not,

he kept on spinning.

To make him happy I never told him I hated this game.

Aunty, I'm going out with my father in car.

Can you please send Anandhi with me?

She isn't well, dear. You please carry on.

I'll take care of her, aunty.

She is taking rest. Not feeling well also..

You can take her tomorrow, you carry on..

Okay, auntv-

Hey. keep quiet..

- Hey, can't you keep quiet? - Why are you beating him?

Hey Prabha, don't play...

- I won't buy ball for you... - Yes, don't buy it..

Teeth less grandma, keep quiet...

- You shut up, naughty boy.. - Keep quiet. Don't tease grandma.

Father, stop the car...

I want to piss... stop the car.. - We are above to reach the place...Wait..

Father, if you don't stop now, I'll piss inside the car...Stop it, father...

- Wait.. - Hey, don't run...

You sit. I'll take care.

- Make it fast.. - I'm trying, don't disturb me.

Mother... mother...

Grandpa...

Father, look at the grandpa...

Mother...

Mother... mother..

A part of my mother's flesh...is here.

Even now, I can smell it.

I still smell...

Usually parents send their children to school on the opening day.

But my father took me to the school on the last working day.

Because he had to return to his duty.

You don't worry.

I'm Kanagasabapathy.

I'm Prabhakar.

Oh my God!

Sorry Prabha...no, Prabha... leave me...

Hey, leave him...

Wait...hey, why are you beating him?

My ball, sir.

Will you beat him for a ball?

Hey, calm down...

Stop crying... didn't I tell you?

Why are you staring at me?

If I give you a slap...

He beat me...

Hey get Up, dear...

Are you sleeping?

Look what is in my hand...

Hey, are you pretending like sleeping?

You beat him for this ball?

Sleep..

With great difficulty I mended your football.

But you're taking it coolly.

You're very stubborn!

- Sir... - What?

Ball sir..

Yes I know..

Thanks sir.

No mention.

Hey, what are you doing there?

Rm Playing, sir.

How come you play alone?

You chased away your one and only friend also.

- Come on, let's play.. - Sir, how can I play with you?

Why?

Because you're a Tamil teacher.

So what? Can't I play?

This is English game. You don't know.

What great English? Come on tell me...

There was a girl who was tall, thin and fair.

Her hair... her hair was the color of ginger.

Am I right?

Stupid English! Come here, boy..

Come here, boy...

Oh flying butterfly...

When I touched, it gave me many colours...

This is a new game of hide and seek...

That changed the mindset...

Heart is craving for a consoling hand to wipe the tears...

A leaf floating on water has become a lifeboat to the ant...

Oh flying butterfly...

When I touched, it gave me many colours...

This is a new game of hide and seek...

That changed the mindset...

Happiness and sorrows are two sides of a life...

Heart says with love no one is alone in this world...

A feeling like chillness of a shadow in hot sun...

A mind is getting chiseled into a statue with the lashing of sea waves...

The golden days of the childhood is making a come back...

Hey, what are you doing there?

Who is she? Is she your daughter?

Yes.. go and sleep..

Okay sir.

To Gayathri of 7th std D section..

Dear, how are you?

Here, I've got a naughty student.

He is just like me.

Mischievous boy.

- Mother... mother.. - Hey, what happened?

- What happened, dear? - Mother... mother...

It's nothing..

It's nothing...

May Lord Muruga bless you...

May all your fears vanish...

The man who relieved all the pain and sorrow from my life is my Tamil teacher.

I was waiting for the summer vacation.

Because in summer vacation, the school will be empty.

My Tamil teacher spent all his time for me and with me only.

I never ever wished to spend my vacation with my father.

To be frank, I had even forgotten my father.

Oh flying butterfly...

When I touched, it gave me many colours...

This is a new game of hide and seek...

That changed the mindset...

Hey, wait...

Nothing, sir..

Hey, what? Leaving so soon?

Leaving by evening train.

All the best, friend.

- When are you leaving? - Okay.

- Tamil teacher... - What?

I'll stay here for this vacation also.

I've to apply for college also.

Hey, stop telling lies..

I know where to get you admitted.

Your father is longing to meet for 6 years.

Go and meet him.

Didn't he carry you all these days?

Now you go and carry him.

- Where are we going? - I'll tell you, come.

An old student Shankarlingam of mine is getting married.

Love marriage.

He called me sign as witness. I'm going there.

I may come late, dear.

- Your father is in Calcutta, right? - Yes.

- As soon as you reach, ask your dad to phone me.- Okay..

I'll discuss with him about your further studies. Got it?

The bus in which our warden was traveling fell into the river.

- What? - Sir...my Tamil teacher...

60 dead bodies are lying inside.

It'll take 2 days for postmortem and other formalities.

Has come to claim body? Get lost, man!

From morning they are torturing me.

Anandhi's mother...

Anandhi..

Prabha...

Who are you?

I was your neighbour.

I always relate to my mother's tragic death to make them remember me.

Death has been my visiting card till date.

How come you are here?

Her father died in bus accident.

You can go inside and see him, can't you?

They are not allowing us.

Who? That watchman?

First wife's relatives.

A prostitute has come to fight for her rights on this man.

Shameless woman has come with her daughter in tow!

Don't know how many families she had ruined.

I didn't see my father.

I couldn't see my father, Prabha.

Please take me over there.

- They may abuse you. - Shut up, mother.

Prabha, will you take me there?

Get up...

- Look she's coming. He's bringing her.. - Though crying she's beautiful.

Why are you going with him?

If you tell me the rate, I'll also join him.

Beat him!

Beat him...don't leave him.

Beat him... don't spare him.

Leave him, don't beat him...

Don't leave him...beat him...

Wretched woman! You ruined my family.

I'll open...

Please go inside, sir.

My hubby"-

Father...

After leaving Anandhi in her place,

Without knowing where to go...

I came back to my Tamil teacher's room.

The entire room was filled with his fragrance and his voice.

The cruel death which was away from my life returned with vengeance.

A life chased by death!

I left to see Anandhi with the address she gave me.

Where is lady tailor house?

Come son... sit down.

- Finished school? - Yes, it's over.

He passed away leaving Rs 150!

My daughter hasn't touched water too for 2 days.

She isn't listening to me.

At least you advise her.

- Where is she? - She is inside.

Anandhi...

Anandhi, look at me..

Am I not here...

I lost my mother, grandparents in my childhood.

What can we do?

I'm telling you, ain't I?

Please eat food.

All are deriding me an illegitimate daughter.

It's paining me.

Leave that...

You knew about my mother now only.

What would you've thought about me?

Shit! You fool!

You're always my little Anandhi who presented me feathers.

Really?

Hey, have food.

- I'll have it later. - Have it now..

I'll have it later.

I'm living for you only...

My shoulder is for you to rest only...

There's no stopping for the new dawn... Let anyone say anything...

My dear! I'll be with you forever...

My life turns meaningful with your one smile...

The second time you smile will wash away the sins of my life...

I'm living for you only...

My shoulder is for you to rest only...

There's no stopping for the new dawn... Let anyone say anything...

My dear! I'll be with you forever...

My life turns meaningful with your one smile...

The second time you smile will wash away the sins of my life...

Why did you come at this time?

I missed the last bus.

Where will you stay tonight?

It's okay. I'll stay in the lodge.

This is small place... That's why I'm telling you..

Please don't mistake me.

It's okay. I'll get a room outside.

- Sorry... - It's okay..

Even rain fed lands don't perish awaiting rains...

Images may disappear, but mirror won't forget those images...

When ever I smell the fragrance of rain, it brings the memory of your sweat...

Even death is a boon to me...

My life turns meaningful with your one smile...

The second time you smile will wash away the sins of my life...

You took loan happily, didn't you?

Is it paining to pay interest?

You waited so long, my brother promised to send money in a month..

I'll pay you as soon as I get it.

You promise to pay in a month.

Anyway I'll take that bike.

You pay money and take back your bike.

I can't take flak from my boss.

Anandhi, get bike keys.

What's this mother?

This is Prabha's bike.

No mother, it's not fair.

Prabha won't mistake me. You get the keys.

I won't..

Anandhi...

Someone has left his bike here. You push it nicely...

Okay, I'll talk to you later...

Come, dear...

Mother, you tell me...

You tell...

How can I tell him?

Mother, you tell him...

What's it?

I got my results, I passed.

Won't you congratulate me?

- Congrats. - What's that?

Take sweets, mother.

You tell him..

Mother...

What are you going to study further?

Tamil.

Why? Have you scored less marks?

- I've scored high marks. - Why then?

Didn't I tell you about my warden sir?

- He gave me this bike... - Yes...

He studied Tamil.

He was a Tamil teacher, lived happily.

That's why if I also study Tamil, I think I'll have a good life.

What happened?

Money lender took away your bike.

It's okay. Nothing to worry about it!

Next month, we will get money.

I'll get back your bike, dear.

It's okay, mother. No problem.

Hey, why are you crying like a child?

Didn't I tell you not to worry?

Go and get water..

Why is he crying?

Hey...

Hey, what's this?

Have it..

Though this moment elapses, memories will last forever...

Even if photos disintegrate, reality will never disintegrate...

The pleasentest music I ever heard is you uttering my name...

You're my life...

I'm nothing without you...

My life turns meaningful with your one smile...

The second time you smile will wash away the sins of my life...

I'm living for you only...

My shoulder is for you to rest only...

There's no stopping for the new dawn... Let anyone say anything...

My dear! I'll be with you forever... Let anyone say anything...

When will you come back again?

After my first semester.

Have it.

Don't you've sense?

In hot sun, you're asking me to drink hot water.

If all that you said is true,

Drink it before my mother comes back.

Do you know why she offered hot water?

No, sir..

Didn't get it?

Is it arranged or love marriage?

If I love I'll get a girl, I'll not get dowry.

What did you get?

80 grams gold chain, a bike on installment, an apartment,

all household articles including the Jockey brief I'm wearing now.

You can get all that but can you get a glass of hot water?

Should I've to drink this?

Mother used to cook for you on your every visit,

you never allowed me to try my culinary skills,

at least in these few minutes when mother isn't at home,

all I could cook for you is this glass of hot water.

Please drink it.

When ever I burnt my tongue after that, I always thought about her only.

So, drink hot coffee, drink hot tea...

Burn your lips and remember the people,

who remembers you.

So drink hot coffee, drink hot tea.

Burn your lips & remember your people who remembers you.

- Hello...Dudley Hostel? - Go straight.

Excuse me, I was also allotted this room.

Please come in.

I'm Anantharangan, Computer Science, you...?

Prabhakar, Tamil.

Tamil?

Why are you regretting for it?

If you're in Maths or English, I can ask help from you.

That's all, nothing else! You don't mistake me.

- Hey, Ranga. - Ranjit! When did you come?

- Today morning. - Where's the toilet?

Go last and turn right.

Thank you.

What a fate! I got a fool who can't speak English as my room mate.

- He's a torture. - Forget it buddy.

There's a tradition in this college.

One who can speak in English is Peterox.

One who couldn't speak in English is Munusamy.

Without even bothering to know whether I can speak in English or not,

they decided! was a Munusamy.

I accepted it grudgingly.

- Your name? - Murugan sir.

- From? - Thachchampatti sir.

Thachchampatti? Why did you choose to study Tamil?

We've an acre of fertile land in my village,

they said I can get loan if I finish graduation,

so I chose Tamil to finish it easily. That's why.

Studying Tamil for availing loan? Good intention, please sit down.

Get up. Your name?

- Seorge. - Say George.

- George. - Tell me why did you choose Tamil?

I didn't get seat in any other course, so...

How many attempts in 12th class?

- 2 or 3? - No sir, 4.

4 attempts, chose to study Tamil, thank you very much, please sit down.

White shirt, get up!

- Your name? - Prabhakar sir.

Why did you choose to study Tamil?

I love Tamil sir.

You love Tamil? How many attempts to pass 12th class?

- Only one attempt. - Just one attempt?

- Your total marks? - 1100, sir.

- Third group? - No sir, first group.

First group? 1100? Show me your marks list.

Show me your marks list. First group? 1100? Show me.

Show...Maths 197, Physics 190...

You would've got medical or engineering seat for these marks.

I did get sir, but I love Tamil so...

This will not work out.

Come with your father and get TC from here,

and join some medical or engineering college.

Is there any law barring students with 1100 marks to study Tamil?

You give it in writing, I'll meet the principal.

You'll understand words,

you'll feel pain only when you get hurt, get yourself ruined.

When a good student chose to study Tamil,

the Tamil department back then derided me,

why did! chose Tamil to study?

College means song, dance and fun.

My heart was filled with Anandhi.

I was waiting for my first semester holidays.

3 months...season change, holidays, all came together.

They vacated the place.

When?

Their brother took them with him as living here turned miserable.

- Did they leave any address? - No.

I held her hands and walked with her thoughts only.

She walked along with me holding my hand hearing about a non-existent tiger.

She was dreaming about the non-existent tiger & non-existent desert.

Do you understand me?

What are you thinking?

I've been holding it for long time, I want to pee.

Go left side...

ls there a toilet?

There is...you go.

Good bye!

He has kept in hall what should be in toilet,

I don't know what will I find there.

- 94440...hello... - Hello.

I'm Yuvan...hey Kumar.

He cut the line... it's ringing...

A bearded man kidnapped me along with my camera.

- Can you hear me? - Say it clearly.

A bearded man kidnapped me along with my camera, buddy,

I'm in T. Nagar only.

Don't get tensed, keep the mobile phone switched on,

- we can find using the tower. - Okay.

- You know the place? - I don't know the address.

- Don't worry... - Number 30.

Number 30.

- Akbar godown. - Akbar godown.

- Akbar? - Vaidhyaraman street.

Vaidhya...?

Hello...Kasi...

Sir, actually 'Ushar makkan' program is scheduled tomorrow...

I get stuck in a room with door like this.

I'm confused how to get away & suddenly a bearded man like you appears.

I'm practicing for TV program, just the same scene...

He would've pushed you just like this.

He didn't push just like this sir.

He would've grabbed you just like this.

He didn't grab me just like this sir.

- Come. - Sir...sir.

Sir...I did it by mistake...sir.

If you've mobile, you need tower,

they will follow you if there's a tower.

- What's the cost of this mobile? - Rs.8000 sir.

Rs. 8000? What features does it have to cost so much?

There's a camera in it sir.

You've a camera worth Rs.150 thousands, why do you need this?

- Is it to stealthily take girls' photos? - No sir...no sir.

Your salary?

Rs.10000 sir.

You need Rs. 8000 worth mobile for Rs. 10000 salary.

If I break it, you'll not buy a new one.

Are you trying to escape from me using this SIM card?

- What SIM? - Read it.

- Hutch. - Have you seen the ad?

I've seen it sir.

A boy walks and a dog follows him.

Wherever you go I follow.

Wherever you go I follow.

When a dog can follow you, won't I follow you?

Catch it, take your SIM card when you leave.

Can I open the door little?

Why?

You've very little hair on your face.

Moreover you're using a very small glass frame.

If there's some light, at least your nose will be visible.

Okay...okay.

Sorry sir, I got scared... otherwise I wouldn't dare do that.

Shall we have a black tea sir?

Okay sir...l make good tea sir.

You say you've no one, but you had father and Anandhi.

Either you're lying to me or hiding truth from me.

Take it.

Don't lie, Anandhi was in India, right?

If you'd searched, you could've found her.

Are you talking about searching with me?

Sit down.

Did I give him tension?

How many letters did you get in your life?

Many letters sir.

Including unsigned letter to dismiss me from my job.

You're very lucky.

I've got only three letters in my life.

Still I remember my first letter.

April 12th, M.A. second year, final semester.

A letter from my Anandhi.

A letter without sender's address.

Prabha, I know you would've searched for me,

I and my mother are in Maharashtra with an uncle.

I'll intimate when you need to write to me or meet me.

Eat at right time.

Take bath at least thrice in a week.

Wash the socks and wear it.

Don't bite nails, pray to God, Anandhi.

Where are you my bird?

You're inviting me also to fly...

I'm coming in search of you, my love...

Where are you my bird?

You're inviting me also to fly...

I'm coming in search of you, my love...

You're the starting point of my earth...

You're my path and destination...

Whichever direction I see...

I see your face only...

Can I see fishes in mirage? Can eyes lie to me?

Your letters are like a sea to me...

I'm floating on it like a boat...

Where are you my bird?

You're inviting me also to fly...

I'm coming in search of you, my love...

- How are you? - Fine.

- Uncle wanted money for the tea. - I'll give.

Bye.

How did you come here?

After traveling 2000 kms,

sleepless for two nights, in an alien place,

when I found the girl I thought was impossible to find...

if she asks, how did you come here? What would be your reaction?

I feel like slapping her hard.

Leaving the real lover, they give life for ditchers.

Women are always like this.

When I took an enlarged photocopy of the seal on the letter,

when I found Savargaon, Sangamner in Maharashtra,

they said there's no train service to this place.

I got down at Pune, then bus, then tractor, and walked down to this place.

When I came here, they said there were 12 Savargoans here.

I visited six places and when I got up from sleep,

I saw you standing before me.

If you hadn't come, I would've settled here running a Pani poori shop.

Really?

The path I go along with you...

Won't it go on forever like the horizon?

Let's talk our way out... Flying with the air...

Your silence is enough if there's nothing to talk...

Aren't this grass, plants, birds and we enough?

Won't this world turn beautiful with this?

First time I feel like I want to live...

First time I see some light in my dark life...

First time a broken branch is flowering...

First time the door is open...

First time the wind is blowing in...

First time my dream is coming true, my love...

Prabha, that's my house.

I'll go first...take this.

Wait.

Uncle...uncle...

He came from far away.

- Come in. - Mother, it's Prabhakar.

Come in, please sit down.

Greetings.

When did you come?

3 days ago.

What brings you here?

I've few friends in Ahmednagar, so I came down here to meet...

When are you leaving?

I'll leave today.

Prabha, you come in.

Sit here.

- Are you fine? - Yes, I'm fine.

I'm very happy that you've come here to meet us.

- He's harsh, you don't take it to the heart.- No...

How's your father doing?

He's fine.

What are you doing sitting at home? Come out.

Wait, I'm coming.

Then I understood,

sometimes God sends angels on cycles,

makes them speak in Marathi language,

and take the villains out.

God is great! He's a scholar of many languages.

Most probably he would've been tourist guide in his previous birth if he had one,

am I right?

What?

Chocolates for you.

Keep it there.

Why don't you take it yourself?

Can't you see I'm working?

What would you say to a visitor who visits you traveling long distance?

Though I may not like the guest,

still for courtesy sake, I'll ask the guest to stay for two days.

I too asked her with that hope only.

Okay, I'll take leave now.

Okay.

Okay, I'll leave now.

Why?

No, I'll leave now.

I'll take leave.

What mother?

He came traveling a long distance,

take him to the temple and send him off.

No mother, uncle will get angry.

Forget about that drunkard, I'll manage him,

you go with him.

Come in.

Uncle gave the keys. I'm going to the temple.

- Who is he? - A friend. Is it?

What are you looking at?

I want to buy you a dress.

Find a job first, you can buy dress for me later.

I know when to buy you a dress, you come with me.

You know I don't like blue color.

Okay, select yourself.

Yuck! This isn't good, is it?

- Is it a dress? - It's good.

What a color!

What an awful taste!

Shut up!

Rs.230.

Isn't this good?

You can take that one...

Buy this one or else I don't want.

It's very embarrassing to love without money.

But my Anandhi, for my sake gave up what she liked,

understanding my condition says she dislikes it.

I found that day, love of poor people has many such moments of happiness.

I've been watching you Anandhi,

you're affectionate sometimes and harsh sometimes.

Why?

I'm happy the time I'm spending with you,

but do you know how many answers I've to give my uncle for your visit?

I shudder to think.

Am I not here? Why are you so scared?

You've come now, will you be with me all my life?

No, isn't it?

I fear I may end up like my mother.

Why are you still standing there? Come.

Why is everyone touching the tree in reverence?

It's a faith, Prabha.

It seems some 300 years ago a Saint did penance under this tree,

people believe touching this tree will fulfill their wishes.

You too make a wish and touch the tree.

- I'm sure you'll get it. - Okay.

That tree and Anandhi sitting next to me are same,

people wish to touch the Saint by touching this tree,

today she's sitting next to me,

her shoulder is touching my shoulder,

I can hear her breath.

I forgot that I'm a man now.

I became a 7 year old boy that day.

What do you call someone who turns you into a 7 year old boy?

God!

What are you looking at?

Look here Prabha!

My father bought a similar dress from co-optex when I was a little girl,

Just like this, I was yearning to buy something like this for years.

Same color with flowery designs. It needed you to buy it for me.

Generally I lie.

She used to ask if I was telling truth or lie.

But she's lying now. A lie that can make me happy.

I felt then if there weren't lies there wouldn't be beauty or wonders in this world.

Poor man's love is like a stream born amidst the mountains...

Though falling from a height, without breaking up...

It runs through the plains like a river...

This is enough in my journey, my dear...

What else do I need...

Though away from you...I can live with this moment fresh in my heart...

Won't this moment of life carry on forever?

Won't my lonely journey come to end this moment?

First time I feel like I want to live...

First time I see some light in my dark life...

First time a broken branch is flowering...

First time the door is open...

First time the wind is blowing in...

First time my dream is coming true, my love...

I think we've reached the village. Where to get down?

Here only...I'll get down here.

Next stop is bus stand, get down there.

Please stay till I leave.

No, I'm already late, uncle will scold me. So..

If you want I'll drop you at home.

Why trouble yourself again to climb the mountain?

I said I'll go.

I said I'll come with you.

Okay.

Stop. I'll go on my own from here.

I'll drop you a little further.

No need Prabha.

Uncle will chide me if he sees with you again.

Any problem with your uncle?

He's a good man.

He's been taking care of me and my mother for the past 4 years.

Just short tempered. That's all. Shall I go?

I'll finish my studies in 10 days.

I'll go to village and talk to my father,

and take you and your mother to my home.

I'll surely find a job.

Are you really saying this?

Bye.

Take it.

Bye Prabha.

Your dress.

I'll come.

Take it.

I'll come to drop you little further.

No Prabha.

I'll go my own.

Okay? Go carefully.

Bye.

When I went back to my place,

second letter of my life was waiting for me.

It delivered the news of my father's death.

I went to Madras in search of a job with a recommendation letter.

Bharat is like the face beauteous of Earth clad in wavy seas;

Deccan is her brow crescent-like on which the fragrant 'Tilak'

is the blessed Dravidian land.

Like the fragrance of that 'Tilak' plunging the world in joy

supreme reigns Goddess Tamil with renown spread far and wide.

Praise unto You, Goddess Tamil,

whose majestic youthfulness, inspires awe and ecstasy.

Whisper...?

Large or medium?

I don't know.

Some how I got 6 kgs of rice and 6 kgs of wheat flour,

bought a whipser packet without knowing the size,

I got a Tamil teacher's job.

- Phone for you. - Coming.

- It's me Prabha here. - Tell me.

- I got a job here. - Superb!

No need to search a job for me in Tambaram.

If you get time, please come here.

Time is running out, I'll hang up.

Wait, when will you get your salary?

- I think it's 5th. - I'll come on 5th without fail.

- You'll never reform, I'll cut the line. - Wait...listen...

You're new to Madras,

- feel free to ask any help. - Definitely sir.

Mess is on the third floor, climbing 3 floors is difficult,

but Chechi's mess is top quality.

- Hi Stella! - Hi Gopal!

Who is he?

- He's Prabhakar, Tamil teacher. - Greetings.

New face to our mansion.

He'll do it poetically.

Who is she? Your classmate?

Classmate? Stella turn back.

We call girls sporting plastic flowers as 'Jaari'.

In Chennai they are known as 'Route'.

In your chaste Tamil, it's 'Parathai' (call girl).

You don't mistake me, I say openly what I feel.

If you go straight and turn left, you'll find the mess.

Just 5 minutes, I'll have a quickie and come.

Prabhakar sirmgreetings sir.

- Greetings. - Come here sir.

Come this side.

You are...?

I also stay in your mansion, come here.

Sit here sir.

Thanks.

I'm Suryanarayanan from Tharvoorkarai.

I heard you're a Tamil teacher.

I'm very happy-

You're the first man to be happy that I studied Tamil.

Matter isn't that sir, you know Tamil,

you're good in writing poetry, essays and songs, aren't you?

A little bit.

Please help me sir.

I tried many times but failed to write a love letter.

Love letter...? I can't write...

What's this sir? You've studied Tamil, you wear thickset glasses,

sport a beard,

you still use fountain pen to write,

if not you who else can write?

Please write it for me.

No problem, I've a pen.

I wrote a letter for him using all the words I wished to write to Anandhi.

If the letter succeeds in winning his love,

I had a bet that my Anandhi will come back to me.

Buddy...buddy...

You here...?

Today is 5th, right? Have you got your salary?

Can you escape from me?

Yes, you're very clever.

Where are you taking me?

Where do you want to go? Come let's go.

Will you take me to Selvi?

- Selvi? - Napoleon's wife Selvi wines.

- Come let's go. - Where? Come I say!

He brought me to clothes shop instead of a bar.

I'll sit there, you finish shopping and come fast.

- Okay? ' Okay,

Who asked you to come to this shop?

I got my first salary, I thought of buying you something.

First do I tell you with your first salary.

What should I do?

Trim your big beard.

Excuse me sir.

Ready ch u ridars?

Go last and turn right.

You know I don't like blue.

Somebody refused it.

As if you listen to me.

Sleeveless? Have you gone mad?

I'm going to kick you.

I found a similar churidar which you refused seeing the rate Rs. 1300.

Price?

If I tell the price, you'll cite a new reason to refuse it.

I know what to do, take it.

Go boy!

Have you finished shopping?

How much?

Hey it's Rs.1800.

I know it, you bill it.

- What's your salary? - Rs. 2000.

- How will you manage for your food bill? - I know it, shut your gob.

You pack it.

- Hey Prabha! - Hey Ranga!

How are you Peterox?

How come you are here?

I came here a month ago.

I thought I'll never meet you again after college.

I'm surprised.

That's okay, buddy. Where were you all these days?

I was in London, recently shifted down to Madras.

You say you were in London but the vermillion...

Whatever it is, can we give up our culture?

Super buddy!

- Hey Ananth! How is this? - Fine.- Who is she?

My would be.

- Hello. - This is my visiting card.

Meet me in office in your free time.

- Okay? - Sure.

He studied with me.

Is your friend a primitive?

He's staring at me.

Forget him, he's a Tamil student, his culture is like that.

Hey, come to my office.

Definitely.

901, near Thukaram Mandir,

Savargaon, Ahmednagar, Maharashtra.

I asked for Bacardi rum and you're talking about Thukaram mandir,

You've read it 100 times, it's perfect, post it.

Wine shop may close.

Prabha, a letter.

Not for me, may be for the next room.

From Anandhi.

- Hey give it to me. - Shouldn't I read it?

- Read... - Am I not your friend?

You're my friend but give it to me.

Is there anything hidden in your life from me?

What's this? Give me...

Say I'm not your friend, I'll not read the letter.

Okay...okay...read it fast.

We settled in Bombay.

Why are you laughing?

Read it yourself.

Bloody love letter!

Prabha, my mother is no more.

Uncle is going to Bombay for livelihood.

I'm also going with him.

I'll let you know the address after reaching there.

Are you fine? Anandhi.

Gone? Rs.1800 gone down the drain?

Neither you enjoyed it nor me, some postman will enjoy it.

You'll do anything for girls, did you buy me at least a drink?

Go man!

Anandhi...neem tree... castor oil...bloody shit!

Leave it buddy!

Leave it? Do you know what Bombay means?

Do you know about men there?

Do you know what dating means?

By now someone else would be dating your Anadhi.

Don't talk rubbish!

Who will come to a man who says he doesn't remember growing a moustache?

If you'd trapped an aunty, everything would've gone well.

No...no...no...

- Sorry man...it was by mistake... - Enough of the stick I had from you.

I beg you, never ever come into my life again.

Please, don't come.

- Don't come. Leave me. - I did it by mistake.

- I'll buy you a drink. - I don't want.

I don't want...you beat me for a girl. Go!

Light tea.

Yeah! How can I help you?

- Take your seat. - Thank you.

Mr. Anantharangan, a guest for you. Yeah.

I invited for fun, but he took it serious.

Hey Prabha, come in.

I didn't expect your office to be so big...

- Sorry, I'm wearing yesterday's dress... - Cool man.

Have it.

- Rahul, get me a burger dude. - Okay dude. -Thanks da!

Today also again curd rice only.

- Today also to mess? - Yes madam.

Just a minute. I've to forward a mail, okay?

What are you doing now?

I'm a Tamil teacher now.

Oh great! I never believed you'll get a job.

I thought how can you get a job studying Tamil.

But for your caliber, you'll get it.

- You...? - Just a minute.

- Give this to David. Okay? - Okay.

- What's your salary? - Rs.2000. - Good...good.

- If I finish B.Ed in 2 years, I'll get Rs. 4000.- Nice...nice.

You...?

I was working with BCS London,

now I shifted to Madras,

this is a small company but salary is good.

How much?

Just 2!

2 means...?

200 thousands!

How could a man like you get Rs.200 thousands?

That too in Chennai... I'm not so foolish.

I know you're lying, for my sake.

So blatantly lying!

Can I show you my salary slip?

I don't believe you, one second.

Sir, one second, we both studied together for 3 years,

we were room mates too,

his English is broken, Tamil knowledge is zero,

I taught him English to attend campus interview,

Listen...this is office!

Sorry...sorry...

I couldn't believe it. Call your boss...call your MD.

He's not here, he stays in USA.

In USA? There's a limit for everything.

Such a big office, AC...computers...

Hey one minute... Prabha, cool down...

- Hello madam, where's your MD? - Listen to me, Prabha.

- Where's your MD? - America.

States...? America...? I can't believe it...

Sir, please carry on your work.

How is it possible? Such a big office in Chennai...MD in USA...

Moreover Rs.200 thousands salary to you!

I can't believe it!

You're astonished for this, look there!

She's getting Rs.300 thousands salary.

I'm itching to get to her place, you know that?

Touch me here if you dare!

Can we write anything if we get 300 thousand salary?

- What's written there? - Still your English is mediocre!

Look there, read it!

- Touch me here if you dare! - Touch me here if you dare!

Do you know the meaning of it?

Can she dare go outwith touch me here if you dare in Tamil?

She likes it, she's wearing it, why are you getting disturbed?

I'm getting disturbed!

What can I do? I'm getting disturbed.

Hi...forward it, okay?

What is this?

Touch me here if you dare!

. So? " so?!

I dare!

- Sorry! - You rascal!

I allowed you inside, I must kick myself!

- Get lost bloody bastard! - I did it unwittingly.

What happened to my common sense?

What ever she may wear?

My sense...these hands...

A Tamil student...

...how could he behave so atrociously?

What's that noise?

Nothing...

Suryanarana is waiting with a full bottle on terrace for you to open it.

You're still here.

Come.

- You go, I'll come. - Come immediately.

How long you take to come!

A full bottle of whisky for you, a mega Pepsi,

plus a full tandoori chicken!

Wait, a pack of cigarettes!

Totally I shelled out Rs. 788 and 50 paise.

All for you!

But you don't drink.

- Will you've at least Pepsi? - Leave him.

What were you doing behind the closed door for an hour?

Has Gopal's habit spread to you also?

Why are you worried about my habits?

You want me to open the bottle or break it?

- Fast...fast. - Why?

Wait...wait...

- Oh God! - Atrocious!

- Thenmozhi! - Why a party now?

You wrote a love letter for me, right?

It has worked out well, Thenmozhi took off.

What does it mean?

You don't know, look at him boys!

In your chaste Tamil, flying, flight, soar high! Got me?

- Stop Tamil lessons, open the packet. - Open it.- I'm opening it.

Okay...

- A peg for me too... - Are you serious, Prabha?

Gopal, make a drink for Prabha first.

- Very good Prabha, now you're a real mansion inmate.- Take it.

The success of my letter lifted my hopes that Anandhi will come back to me.

When are you getting married?

You're talking about marriage drinking from a use & throw away glass.

This week one letter, a Thenmozhi and a party!

Next week another letter, you're here to write it for me.

Write it in more chaste Tamil, my moon...

I'll throw a bigger party than now, got me!

He has started drinking raw straight away.

He's very fast!

You passed the test with flying colours! Super!

Where are you going? He may fall down.

He may throw up!

I regretted for writing a letter to someone what I thought of writing to Anandhi.

Like Kanakasabapathy said this city has changed.

If Chennai is like this,

I felt Anandhi's Bombay would be much worse.

I started losing hope of Anandhi coming back to me.

What are you doing man? Are you sick or what?

Wait man...

- Come out man...come out! - What do you want man?

- Just stay away...what's the problem? - Won't you listen to me?

- Come out man! - Leave me.

Are you great if you travel in a car?

Will you splash slush?

Will you splash slush on anyone if you go in a car?

- No sir... -What sir?

Can't you see this is slush?

Isn't this slush to you?

Sir...look there...I didn't splash slush on you sir...

He left the place.

Sir...it was not my fault sir.

Come here!

- Come here! - No sir.

I don't have anyone to talk to.

Talk to me for 5 minutes and then go.

Take this sir, purse, mobile, Rs. 5000 sir. Rs.5000 sir!

Do I look like a goon?

Do I look like a goon?

Did I ask you for money?

- Sir... - What did I ask you?

I wanted you to talk to me for 5 minutes.

- Will you? - Yes sir.

Sit down.

No. It's alright.

Since you own a car, won't you sit on a platform?

I will Sit.

Sorry.

I am going to beat you.

I wanted to talk to you for 5 minutes.

I got frustrated when you offered me money.

- What is your name? - No, sir.

- Your name? - Kaushik.

Where are you working?

- BPO. - What does that mean?

- Call center, sir. - What does that mean?

I will get calls from America.

My job is to answer those calls.

Why should they call you from America?

Now that is the trend.

Americans make calls to the companies in America.

Those calls are diverted here.

I must answer them.

What will you speak?

- No sir. - Tell me. What will you speak?

Thanks for calling Jonix...

This is Thomas here.

Could I have first & last name please?

How can you help you sir?

It's nice.

English.

How do you greet them?

Thanks for calling..

Thanks for calling Jonix...

I am Thomas here.

- What's your name? - Kaushik, sir.

Then, who is Thomas?

Since the calls are from America,

callers shouldn't know that their calls are answered from India.

Since we answer them like Americans,

they changed my name as Thomas.

What's your salary?

- Rs. 40000. - Rs. 40000...?

Will you change your name for Rs. 40000?

Will you change your mother for Rs. 400 thousands?

Not like that.

But that is how I work.

It's good.

How's that...

Thanks for calling Jonix...

This is Thomas here.

Could I have first & last name please?

How can I help you, sir?

How was my accent?

Just like an American.

I repeated what you spoke.

Now you speak what I tell you to speak.

- Will you speak? - Yes sir.

- Your mother tongue is Tamil, right? - Yes sir.

Repeat this.

C'mon say it. Say it.

It sounds like Tamil.

Does this sound like Tamil?

You speak in American accent for Rs. 40000.

You live here for the last 25 years.

But you don't know Bharathi's song.

You said you will not beat me.

Sorry.

Do you know Anantharangan?

- I don't know. - Leave it.

He is also an idiot like you.

I get paid Rs.2000 for learning the age old Tamil language.

But the box which was invented 25 years ago...

- Box...? - I mean the computer.

He who knows to operate it earns Rs. 200 thousands a month.

How is it possible?

- What can I do about it? - Did I ask you to say anything?

I just want to speak with you for 5 minutes...

Come. I won't beat you.

Come.

Boy...wake up.

Business today will not be good.

The first cigarette which I smoke.

A cigarette half burnt.

Someone might have smoked it.

I started to smoke more.

For smoking a cigarette,

I was made to sit with my underwear in the police station.

I felt humiliated.

I was sitting there like a piece of shit.

Once I've become a piece of shit,

I didn't want to live.

I wrote a letter mentioning all the reasons for my suicide,

to Anandhi who I know will never come.

Before jumping, I forgot to check if there's power,

so, I didn't die.

Instead I got the job of giving salvation to others.

On that day I didn't kill one,

..but a thousand.

Anantharangan, Suryanarayanan and many more.

I didn't mean I got hold of their necks..

But when the first drop of blood fell on my hand,

I realised that I'd changed into someone else.

First time I felt like an almighty.

I felt as if the entire world was under my feet.

This world turned me into a piece of shit.

But the one drop of blood made me God.

After that,

I wandered all over India like a nomad.

I grew beard.

Met sages.

Had drugs.

And came back to Chennai again.

There is no street which I've not walked through.

I wonder what had happened to me.

I killed 22 people.

What 22 & 23?

You had a tiff at a Railway counter.

It was an accident not a murder.

The one on the train was running bad patch.

He was drunk. So, you are not at fault.

But you keep on saying the number of people you killed.

Don't you need a reason to kill so many people.

Only stories need a reason.

There are no logics and reasons for real life.

There are no logics and reasons for real life.

I will tell you.

On a fine sunny day...

Beach.

When did you get married?

At the age of 23.

How many children?

2 kids, carrying one now. I'm king in that. Happy sir.

Can you guess my age?

How can I guess when you are covered with beard?

I'm 26 years old.

I never had sex with any girl till now.

How long can I masturbate in bathroom?

If I go to beach,

I see people sitting in the hot sun.

On that day, the temperature was 2 degree more.

It was unbearable heat.

I took the gun & shot them.

Coconut, mango, cereals.

They are making this beach into their bedroom.

Coconut, mango, cereals.

Am I responsible for the hot sun?

Am I responsible for the hole in the ozone layer?

There is no girl in my life. Am I responsible for that?

Am I responsible for the rich to hire prostitutes?

Am I responsible for Anandhi to go away from my life?

Thank God! You didn't go to the beach last month.

What did you say?

Battery charge is too low. Make it fast.

You don't need reasons to kill.

Killing someone is very simple.

Like an art.

The beast is boasting with his English knowledge.

Highly creative process.

Something like an intercourse.

When I kill,

the gun, my finger & the blood..

...when it falls on the hand,

...you experience the ecstasy.

But when we open our eyes & see...Shit!

It's really painful.

When we fail in our exams, we decide to pass the next time.

Similarly, after every murder,

I decide not to commit another one.

But this hand starts to shiver.

I hear a loud noise in my head.

These symptoms say that lam going to do something.

I don't go out during the day. I stay inside these four walls.

I go out only at night.

Last month, I started to shiver.

I heard this loud noise in my head.

I felt I will go out and do something nasty.

I stayed inside the room.

I was trying my level best to stay inside the room.

My heart told me to go out.

But I still controlled myself. I was trying to control it.

But on that day, it was beyond my control.

Then, I went to open the door.

The noise stopped.

I feared that it shouldn't come again.

I understood that! can never be controlled.

I will be a danger to the public.

So, I ran to a police station.

The only police station I knew..

...was the one where I was made to sit with my underwear.

On the way I saw him.

Hey, why did you keep the phone outside?

Keep it inside.

Honorable souls die when disgraced rather than live with it.

I realised that he was responsible for everything.

I killed many.

If I had killed him, everything would've been alright.

He was the medicine I needed.

But killing a police Inspector is not an easy task.

So, I planned it.

I followed him for a week.

Then I found out that after closing all the bars in the city,

he opens a bar in Trustpuram inside his jeep & has fun.

Honorable souls die when disgraced rather than live with it.

I felt as if all my anger is gone.

I felt very peaceful.

I thought I will never get those killing instincts.

That noise..that cry.. ..disturbed me.

I committed many murders.

But I've done nothing good for anyone.

My conscious wanted me to do good for someone.

Hey Aadhi, look who is coming in.

Hey, who are you?

Hey, who are you?

Hey, who are you?

Can't you hear me?

Who are you?

Hey...

Why did you beat her?

I paid Rs 4000. I'll do whatever I wish. Shut up and get lost!

Don't beat me!

Sir, won't it be painful if you see your angel in a whore house?

...Prabha...

What are you looking at? Get out...

I say get out...

If you pay Rs 4000, does it mean you can do any bullshit?

She will also have the same pain as you have, won't she?

Everybody has same color of blood, right?

She too has the same flesh, right?

Now watch...

First leave this place..

You come with me..

Really saying this?

Really saying this?

Really saying this?

Really saying this?

Really saying this?

On hearing this the boy Prabha lost in the mayhem of death has come back again.

We both decided to settle down in our favourite place.

But before leaving the place, I wanted to repent for my sins.

Leaving Anandhi in a ladies hostel,

I was thinking about my next step...

I saw your media van...

I offered Rs 10000, and you accepted it.

You're recording it now.

What grievous crime you've committed?

Recording it.

Even my neighbour makes Rs 30000. I feel jealous of him.

He got a new Pulsar bike.

I dropped 1/2 kg sugar in fuel tank when nobody is around.

This is what I am!

Sir, when you don't have money...

If you find some wearing expensive dresses, goggles and a beautiful girl in tow,

One will get angry, sir.

What can we do for that? I've a family and children.

I can't do anything.

You're alone, so you killed them.

Why are you making a big fuss of it?

Everything is getting right in your life now.

You got back your Anandhi.

What's the use of recording this now? Let's stop it.

Hello, I called you to record it not to advice.

Record it.

Sir, I just told as a friend...

Sorry sir.

As you Say--

Do you know why I'm telling all this?

I'm not trying to justify myself.

I committed murders knowingly and unknowingly...

If I tell police about my murders, they won't believe me.

Didn't understand?

Just hold on...

- Zoom it... - Okay.

Illicit love affair turns bizarre...

Do you know them?

The two people I killed on the beach.

It seems he's that lady's husband.

Since the lady had a paramour..

Her husband hired people to kill them.

I killed them...

But they blamed some fool Balaganesh.

Wait...

Do you know him?

Dr K.D.Nandu, a Psychiatrist, from Ashok Pillar.

The man whose head I broke, it's him.

It seems this man had killed him in a real estate problem.

I killed him... But Dr Kumar, a fool got caught.

In order to finish the monthly target, police covered up everything.

Now if I surrender in police, they will say I didn't kill them.

If you ask me, I'll say, I only did it.

Did I kill them or not?

- Do you understand anything? - No sir.

I'm also not able to understand anything.

Sir, I don't understand what's going on in this city!

10 years ago, minimum salary was Rs 2000.

Maximum would be around Rs 20000.

But now..

Minimum salary remains the same.

But maximum salary level has crossed hundred thousands.

This city is changing for the high paid.

Sir, tell me, what's the population of this city?

Around 6 to 7 millions people.

Am I asking you census?

Sir, only 2 categories of people live here.

Didn't get me?

One, who is inside spencer's plaza...

another one who is outside it..

One inside Sathyam Theater one outside. One inside a ATM and another outside.

We belong to second category.

Selling credit cards and savings schemes to the rich calling them sir...!

I'm much better...l can lead my life as a Tamil teacher!

But degree holders of History, Geography, Sociology,

Psychology, Political science and Economics are really pitiable.

They find it difficult to get even a teacher's job.

You're right, sir.

Sir, is there any rule that only MBA, MCA, Engineering and MBBS students,

should only lead a luxurious and happy life?

Sir, I didn't say that Rs 2000 is insufficient for me.

Sir, I didn't say that I'm living below the poverty line.

Sir, I'm not begging...

But I'm not able to bear the atrocious behaviour of white collars.

Poet Bharathi wished for a nation where no man harms another man.

But that is only happening here.

They earn in millions... They buy houses and cars...

They buy Rayban glasses.. They use expensive perfumes and shoes...

- Don't you get disturbed or not? - Will get disturbed, sir.

"Touch me here, if you dare"! "Don't look at my face."

"Unbutton me here."

If girls' wear tops with such words... That too on their chest.

Don't you feel like touching?

Will feel like touching, sir.

Yes, don't think Tamil students are saints and innocents.

Don't think they're fools in loose fit clothes with bag, thickset glasses reciting poems.

Tamil not only teaches patience but also teaches anger.

Poet Bharathidasan called youth to learn to kill brutally.

Yes I did, off course I did cold blooded murders.

By saying all these things, I'm not trying to justify myself.

I'm not trying to justify myself.

I hate what all I did... And I want to get out of it...

As I wished, I escaped.

Because my Anandhi is back now.

I went back to my childhood days...

an age that doesn't fear death. We both are going..

In search of a happy life...

We will lead a happy life. We will lead a happy life...

Because we both are destined to lead a happy life!

You will get it sir.

Thank you.

I don't know the solution to the problem I discussed with you.

If I knew, I wouldn't have become like this.

I'm not sure if Ministers, CM or PM knows a solution to this.

Maybe American President Bush knows a solution.

We are so poor that we can't make an ISD call to him also.

We are helpless! I've escaped!

But the city you live is very bad.

You can get killed for your pizza, shoes or goggles.

They are killing people.

Got it.

Beware of it.

That's it. Close it.

One minute.

The tears of have-nots is an army that will wipe out haves.

The army that can destroy the rich

are the tears of those like me who suffer & struggle in life. Got it.

Thank you.

Close it.

Sir, you promised to pay me Rs. 10000.

I don't want it, sir.

- Excuse me. - Yes.

Yuvan asked me to give this to Mr. Shocks.

- And you? - My name is not important.

Everything is in the cassette. Give it to him.

Prabha..

Are you worried for taking me with you?

Why don't you ask me something?

What should I ask?

I struggled very hard for the past 3 years.

Many things happened. I want to tell you all that.

Look, in my Anandhi's life, nothing has happened.

Why ask or talk about things which never happened?

It's been long since I slept at 10 pm.

Since you are with me, I'm getting a good sleep.

You also sleep well. Okay.

Prabha..

What?

A man over there is staring at me. Don't turn immediately.

Listen to me.

- Keep quiet. No fight. - You be quiet. I know what to do.

Move.

Move I say.

- Don't stare at her. - Why not?

- Don't look at her. - I went to her last week. Rs. 3000.

How much does it cost to take her out?

- She is not like that now. - Then, what is she now?

She is married.

Married? When?

At the age of 7.

He won't stare at you anymore. You sleep.

- What did you say? - Leave it. You sleep.

Please tell me. What did you tell him?

I said that we got married at the age of 7. Sleep.

Testimony of Mr. Prabhakar; a post-graduate in Tami! literature"

...which was telecast in our channel yesterday has sparked many debates in the society.

He is right. I lived here in Vadapalani 2 years back. Rent was Rs. 2000.

The IT people entered. People working in software companies earn in millions.

Rents skyrocketed.

I couldn't afford these rents, I shifted to outskirt Poonamalle.

IT companies are cropping up there also.

I don't know how am I going to pay the rent & live.

If poor people don't have place in this city, this is modern untouchability, what else then?

They're jealous. 10 years back minimum salary was Rs. 2000. I accept.

10 years ago India's foreign exchange was 100 billions, now it is 827.2 billions.

Just because of IT.

It's a fie that country has developed because of IT.

Very few have prospered. Entire country hasn't developed.

Growth in a body must be full.

If our legs alone grow bigger, it is Filaria. A disease.

What's your opinion on the phrases on the T-shirt?

This is my T-shirt. It's my wish. What bothers you?

People say that they are getting disturbed by those phrases.

Won't you look at us if there are no such words?

Let there be phrases or not, people will look at us.

You are getting provoked by those liners It's just a male ego.

Spencer Plaza & Pizza hut can't be called as a country's growth.

It's a luxury provided for the rich.

Testimony given by Prabhakar is false. He is mentally ill.

Police's job is to find him and admit him in a hospital.

Police also feel pity on him.

What he says is right.

Our head constable Sekar's son is in America,

studied MCA & is earning around 200 thousands.

But we take bribes from everyone to earn Rs. 20000.

What next? Tell me.

His birth place is Achchankoil, Kerala.

Schooling in Ambasamudram. College in Palayamkotai, Tirunelveli.

Just a minute.

A case was filed against him for an attempt to commit suicide.

The railway station murder is still under investigation.

We got only these 2 cassettes.

Excuse me. He might have gone to his native Ambasamudram.

Yes, he might have gone there on a picnic.

He has committed murders.

- Where is your In-law's place? - Achchankoil.

Planning to go there in the name of investigation.

Yuvan, the compere.

He has absconded. We are searching for him.

What are you doing?

I want all those who know about Yuvan & the bearded man in an hour.

- We should catch him in a day. - Okay sir.

Yes sir.

- No father. - You coward. Don't cry.

Why are you laughing?

Coward.

Stop--

Who are you?

We are from..

Someone is here.

What do you want?

Sir...postman Govindan.

It's me. And you?

- I am Prabhakar. - Prabhakar?

I lived in this house when I was young.

You lived near by her house. My father...military...car.

My mother & grandparents died in a lorry accident.

After so many years... Come in, Prabha. Welcome.

- How are you? - Very fine.

He is Prabhakar. He lived in this house as a kid.

He is my brother. She is my sister-in-law. And she is their grand daughter.

I'm feeling giddy. Drop me down.

Come inside.

- Mother... - What?

- I'll take rest & then study. - I will...

- I will study. - Then study.

Funeral of A.C. Mr. Chandrasekar who was killed by terrorists last night

will be held today with all due respect.

Prabhakar in his testimony aired in our channel says he had killed him.

This has confused the police dept.

Police declared prize money for giving information about Prabhakar,

- Commissioner here. - Good morning sir.

Good morning.

- I'm Inspector Rajanagan from Ambasamudram.- Yes.

- Prabhakar who appeared on TV yesterday...- Yes.

- Our head constable Maris saw him in the bus.- Good.

- The last information is that he got down at Achchankoil with a girl.- Great.

I will inform the Keral Police right now.

- We must catch him before media. - Sure.

There was a girl" ..who was tall & thin & fat...

Her hair was a color of ginger.

Why do you carry this bag always?

Catch it Anandhi. Catch it Anandhi.

Oh no!

- Thanks. - It may fly away.

Prabhakar, I am uncle speaking. Don't get up.

Police has surrounded you. They have guns.

They might gun you down. I know you are innocent.

Don't get up. Please.

- Go away. - No Prabha. I won't go.

- Try to understand. - No.

Go away, Anandhi.

Do you really mean that?

I have no other choice.

- Go.- No Prabha. Let anything happen. I'll be here only.

Stop you nonsense. They will destroy you.

I'm already destroyed, there's nothing to get destroyed.

- They are coming. Go away. - I won't go.

- Don't cry. Go. - I won't.- Go.

What is this Anandhi?

Go Anandhi.

Look there.

Our pet dog Tony died that day. Shall we save our Tony today?

Two people got crushed under the train, it has become routine.

They couldn't save their pet dog Tony on that day.

Today none of us could save them.

Today they have reunited with their dog Tony.

If you have time, come to Achchankoil.

You can see young Prabhakar & Anandhi with a lamp along with Tony in the forest.

Surely, you'll see them.
