Original subtitles

In ancient times, forests were home to the first humans.

This made Kurinji and Mullai the first habitable lands.

Even though the settled people on the banks of the rivers took to agriculture,

the mountains and forests remained a bastion in their lives.

During the reign of kings, they cleared the forests to train warriors,

dividing the land equally between farming and training grounds.

After the battles ended, those lands became houses and villages,

and those villages were named Kaaduvetti.

Villages with the name "Kaaduvetti" are more common in the central region.

This story is told as a fictional love story

set in a village called Kaaduvetti in the central region.

This film does not contain any scenes that are intended to offend

any individual, caste, religion, community, or political party.

The producer assures that this story

and the characters in it are purely fictional.

Hello, everyone. On behalf of Agni Kural YouTube channel,

I wish everyone a very happy Valentine's Day.

Everyone has their own unique perspective on love.

Let's find out from the public.

Bro, what's your opinion on love?

-What's your take on love, mate? -True love or illicit affair?

-Of course about true love. -Hold on.

Buddy, this whole world is surviving on love.

-Nothing exists without love. See you! -Nothing exists. Super!

-Hello, poet. -Yes!

What's your perspective on love?

Love…

…a morsel that satiate the starving.

An umbrella that forgets about the rain even when it's raining heavily.

-Super, poet. -Thank you!

What are you doing?

-Hmm. -Hi, madam.

-Huh?! -How do you feel about love?

It's as pure as a mother's milk.

-Well said. Thank you! -Thank you!

Thanks, ma'am.

Grandpa…

Grandpa?

Come with me.

Careful.

You've satisfied my hunger, dear.

There are so many out there like me.

Who'll satisfy their hunger?

Iniya, why place a big fridge on the street instead of keeping it indoors?

This isn't your regular refrigerator.

This is called "Ayyamittu Unn".

What is that?

We cook a variety of meals every day at home and eat them.

We put the leftovers in the fridge.

And forget about it.

We take it out after a couple of days only to find it spoiled and then discard it.

Nineteen lakh tons of food are thrown away daily in India.

Out of the 135 crore people living in this country, 40 crore people starve every day.

If you have any leftovers or food you don't plan to eat,

please leave them in this fridge instead of wasting them.

Those who are hungry and in need, will take food from this fridge.

Great idea, Iniya!

Is this only for food?

We have many unused items at home.

Many people out there can't afford to purchase them.

You can leave old clothes, cookware, and even slippers.

-Super idea, Iniya! -Thank you!

I believe this initiative, "Ayyamittu Unn", started by my daughter,

will provide nourishment to the hungry,

much like Manimegalai's divine vessel of inexhaustible food.

I kindly request all of you to offer your full support.

Thank you so much!

You misunderstood me.

I clicked a picture of him to create social awareness.

But you slapped me in a fit of rage.

Oh, I'm sorry!

Hey, where are you taking it? Stop!

The leftover food from my house.

Take this.

You said it was excess, but the cooker is full.

My mom always cooks in two cookers.

One for the family

and the other for the society.

Brother…

Brother!

Hey!

Thanks a lot, brother.

[phone rings]

-Yes, Daddy. -Where are you?

I'm out with my friends.

I know who you are with.

I want you home in half an hour. If not, you're no longer my son!

Daddy…

Damn it.

Gotcha!

She really got scared, Dad.

-Dad! -Did we really scare you, Iniya?

Really?

Love isn't a sin, an error, or a cruel act to provoke anger.

Love is affection.

Love is caring for someone.

It's about living together without indifference.

Love is a wish for every living being.

A necessity.

And a right.

Every parent should know what their child wishes for.

See if it is positive. And if so, fulfill it and give it to the children.

That's good parenting and it earns respect.

-Am I right? -Absolutely.

If we don't act, they'll disregard us as parents,

marry independently, and turn to the police for support.

Just as you are firm in your love,

we need confirmation that both of you truly wish to marry each other.

This is not a doubt.

It's a sweet confirmation.

Oh my! Instead of yapping like soap operas,

take out the rings and let them exchange!

Bring it, Shakthi.

Give it.

Come here, Son-in-law.

Come closer, everyone. It's time to bless them.

[narrator] People say love is affection, care, trust,

novelty, revolution, and whatnot.

But you can't buy anything with it.

Curious about why I'm talking like this?

Do you want to know how this love won?

The only reason for its victory without any expectation is…

Both families are well-educated and financially prosperous.

So they chose their happiness.

Let's travel 200 kilometers from here

to a small village which is neither educated nor financially stable.

And assume they fall in love here. Let's see what happens then.

Stop here, brother.

Twenty rupees.

Here, brother.

-Who are you? -We have an appointment.

We're here to discuss something important.

Sir?

Two college students are here to see you.

-Go on, I'll be right behind. -Okay.

-Have some buttermilk. -Thanks, brother.

I've informed him. He'll be here in a minute.

Hello, sir.

Hello. Sit down.

Tell me.

What is it?

-I'm Naveena. -And I'm Thilakavathy.

We study at the Cuddalore Arts College.

A girl called Manimegalai studied with us two years back.

She was an only child and a very studious girl.

She stopped coming to college all of a sudden.

When we looked into it, we found that a guy was trying to woo her.

She eloped?!

Our daughter eloped!

-Oh, my! Manimegalai. -Oh, my dear!

-Why did you do this, dear? -Why did you have to?

How could you do this at this age?

Son, please leave my daughter.

-Let go of her. -I beg you, brother.

Please come home with us, Mani.

-Sir, please save my daughter. -Come home, dear.

Peter, take her and leave.

-Mani… Let me go. -Manimegalai. Don't go, dear.

-Let go. My dear daughter… -Oh, my! My daughter!

How could she leave us alone!

We lost our honor and dignity! We also lost our daughter!

Now Manimegalai's saying she's going to die.

Please save her.

We are clueless.

That's why we came to you.

Don't worry, dear.

I'll take care.

You study well and try to secure a government job.

-Natraj, send our men with them… -Sir, okay.

-…and ask them to drop these girls home safely. -Okay.

Alright, girl. You go home.

Thanks a lot!

Sir…

Shall I serve you food?

No need.

I lost my appetite hearing about the struggles of these poor people.

Natraj…

Call him.

Hey, it's the police.

Run! Police!

-Run boys! -[car honks]

[car honking continues]

I will slap you!

Didn't you hear the car honking?

Not moving for the car at your age is really rude!

What is your name?

Who is he?

You are new here. So you wouldn't know about him.

There's a ferocious man called Nadunattu.

NADUNATTAN

One fiery stare from him…

…will slit the other person's throat.

His territories are from Kanchipuram to Kaveri shores.

And he declares the law there.

His followers don't follow him for money.

But protest for rights and humanity.

He brought them together with his speech.

They created war.

As long as they exist, you can neither go near nor arrest him.

They wouldn't mind if they go through pain.

But if something happens to their leader, they wouldn't hesitate to kill.

Manimegalai?

Manimegalai.

Come here.

Come, let's go home.

Brother…

What am I going to do there?

My parents struggled to give me an education because I was their only daughter.

I scored the first rank as well.

I naively believed his sweet words and eloped with him.

I lacked the maturity to distinguish between right and wrong then.

I now understand how grave a mistake that was.

He doesn't even want to go to work.

I earn a meager sum by working as a daily wager.

He snatches that money for his drinks and wallops me hard.

I can't take this any longer, brother!

I've made a mistake!

I feel so guilty that I'd rather die.

How dare you share our problems to a random stranger?!

Hey!

Women are equal to God.

You must revere them.

How dare you raise your hand at her?

I'll chop it off!

You come with me.

Hey!

We put in so much effort to court, marry, and treat them as we wish.

And you think you can take her from here that easily?

Do you think we'd just let you do that?

If you really are a man, I dare you to take her away from here!

I'll chop you to pieces and bundle you up!

Hop in, dear.

Kill him!

HEY!

Greetings. -Greetings, sir.

Greetings, all of you.

-Have you all eaten? -[all] Yes, we just did.

Who's this, may we ask?

-I know her. Get down, dear. -I see.

Alright then.

Did you eat, Mom?

I did, dear. Go have your fill.

Here you go.

You can drop the 'murdering me' act for now,

we have a visitor.

-Cut a leaf for her. -Please come in, dear.

-Eat to your heart's content. -Sure, thank you.

Fish curry for the day, huh?

Think of us as your own and eat heartily.

Serve her some more, dear!

And me as well!

Go on and eat.

Don't feel shy.

Listen, my stomach's rumbling here!

Why aren't you serving me yet?

The heck's happening?

Oh my!

Now I get what's happening…

You see that?

She was a scaredy cat at first.

After observing me for days, she now tries to scare me.

Listen up, you! I will make sure you get a solid whooping.

I'm coming there. Wait.

Today's the day she gets it!

Hey, you! Are you listening?

Excuse me?

Ma'am?

Listen!

Oh, my heavens!

Look at the anger you have on me!

You've been ignoring me since I entered.

You look drop-dead gorgeous in this saree!

If only you could swap out this small earring

and wear jhumkas with this, it would elevate your beauty!

Enough buttering me up.

Do you even think about me waiting when you'd return

when you leave so early because few people call you?

Dear, that's why I'm here earnestly begging you.

When nobody agreed to marry me,

didn't he arrange for both of us to get married?

We must be ever grateful to him.

Mustn't we be thankful to him?

Wouldn't it be wrong for me to ignore his calls?

I'm hungry, dear. Come serve me.

Sweetheart, I'm pleading with you because I want you to feed me.

Come, please.

Come!

Yeah, right. How can she mess with me?

You haven't taken a bite yet?

Go on, dear.

What a solid whooping she got, you know?

Here she comes.

Aren't you Kulandai Sister's son?

Forgotten me already?

You got me a government job once I completed my studies.

Will you do me a favor?

Shall I slash myself?

Woah, woah!

This village thrives on loyalty just like yours!

Woah, woah!

What's up?

You come here.

You drew this?

My, oh, my!

This is for you.

Why not?

I come bearing news to all the people in the village!

So pay attention!

Be sure not to overlook it later with flimsy excuses.

Meiyyamoode, Chinna Meiyyamoode, Kadamburaanmoode, Veerabathramoode, Nesakaaramoode,

Sathaputhramoode, Odaiyaanmoode, Puluvaanmoode, heirs of Gaurav and Guntur…

The ten chosen heirs will select

a representative to attend the panchayat meeting.

No one will step out of town on any account.

Those who departed town either yesterday or the day before,

shall return upon permission from the panchayat council.

Should the appointed representative fail to attend,

temple tax will not be collected from them,

and the panchayat will not address any issues that may arise.

This decision was collectively made with the village leader,

Chief, and the Vice President in agreement.

And I've forgotten the curves of women.

-What say, Chief? -Oh, shut your gob.

Are you nuts for brushing your teeth right now, Munnusamy?

And if I do, will you get me married to your sister?

Yeah, right. Like you can handle your present wife.

She roams only with that dullard!

I'll be back in five, Chief.

What you're doing isn't right, Ganesa!

Please understand. I swear I'll be back in a jiffy.

I promise!

All for a piece of that cake.

-Hey, wastrel? -Yes, Chief?

You think you're the only busy man?

Umm, Chief. Harvest season is here,

so I'm heading out to spray pesticide on the crops.

Did you think you're the only one farming? Come, sit along with the crowd!

You only have a bit of pesticide, and you spray that a zillion times?

Why do you carry it around like a school bag? Take that off of you!

I am so screwed.

Why are you all giggling instead of addressing the obvious issue?

Where are the girl's parents?

Must've gone to catch the grazing cows.

Screw that. Ask someone to fetch them and bring them here!

Out of my way!

You could've asked me for a husband!

Instead you loitered like a vagabond!

Hurry!

Start the bike!

Come, let's run for our lives.

Hurry!

You!

Stop there! I swear I will murder you!

Wallop him!

Hey, spare her!

Spare her, please!

Please don't!

Don't, please!

What's the matter?

-She ruined our pride! -Why didn't you snap her like a branch?

Instead, you bring her on a cart!

Get off of it! Right away!

Their fault for bringing you!

You deserve to be whooped black and blue!

You brought dishonor to us all!

Look at what they're doing to our girl!

They're thrashing our girl up!

Don't spare her one bit!

Let go! Let go of her!

I said, let her go!

Why do you girls love to ruin the honor of our village?!

Of course, a coward would raise another. Shameless family.

I hope you never prosper. What a disgraceful woman!

You get away. Raise your child at least to be dignified!

Won't we ever get justice?

My child's suffering!

Will no one come to our rescue?

Dear?

Dear?

Karuppan isn't listening to me. He's being adamant.

Why don't you check on him?

Sangili Karuppa!

Why are you being stubborn?

Here.

Show your fierceness on the field.

Not to her.

Also, I can't be with you all day long!

Don't you know how fond she is of you?

So listen to her!

Brother…

Yes, dear?

I really want to study, brother.

-But I can't focus properly. -Why?

What's wrong?

There's this guy on my way to school who keeps harassing me, claiming he loves me.

I begged and pleaded with him to let me study.

I am scared to take it up with my parents because they might put an end to my education.

Studying well is my only chance to take care of my parents, who are daily wagers.

Also, yesterday, he yanked my hand off.

Is being born a girl a curse?

This torment is making me want to die!

Dear?

Buddy! Stop! Stop!

Malli?

Mallu baby?

Mallu bear?

Why don't we start a life so dear?

What is it, babe?

Why do you look so dull?

Didn't you eat breakfast?

Shall I order something for you?

Hey! Four idlis and a lentil vada.

-Done, buddy! -What else do you need, sweetie?

The moon?

Or the shining stars?

Or do you want the Sun?

Ask away, babe!

I honestly don't know how to make you understand!

-Hey! Give me that. -Mom… my balloon!

You're snatching a balloon from a kid? You shameless buffalo!

This isn't a balloon.

This is my heart.

Look at how swollen it is!

If you think of rejecting my love…

Hey! Get lost, you moron.

It wasn't the balloon that popped…

that was my heart.

I know my pocket is empty, but…

but my heart is full of love!

What, dear?

Why are you giving me that disgusting look?

Are you afraid I'll abandon you halfway through?

Do you know something?

I carry the mangal sutra with me, hoping I tie it someday on you.

Shall I tie it right away?

Shall I?

Just say yes. I'm ready to tie the knot.

Shall I do it?

Buddy! My girl is going to hand me a love letter.

Get a quarter and a full beer ready!

Thanks, buddy.

Oh God!

What, dear? Are you planning to slash me?

Are you going to slit my throat or chop my legs off?

Or are you going to cut my arm off?

Be brave and show no mercy.

Hold the billhook firmly…

Think of it as a sacrifice to our sacred deity and give him one fierce strike!

That's my girl!

Hey! Let's leave. Come on, fast!

Hey, you!

The nerve of you to harass my sister for your cheap thrills!

I'll make sure you never see the daylight. Get lost!

Give it to me.

-Brother! -Yes?

You go and surrender.

A girl's father and brothers won't be by her side every minute of the day.

A man will hit back when harmed.

He'll strike back when provoked!

A woman's only defense against them is

her fearlessness to fight back fiercely.

Get going.

Be brave.

Focus on your studies. Go.

[in Telugu] You fool! You've been blabbering for so long.

Aren't you tired of it?

Even if there are a thousand people around, the world should still recognize you.

There are people who have scored more runs than Dhoni and Kohli.

But does anybody know them?

That's what politics is all about!

If people stay united…

no one can tear them apart, even if they try with all their might.

-That's right, Brother. -So…

Why do you simply roam around like a loafer?

Why don't you get married?

No, I wish to secure a successful position in politics.

I'll stay with you. Do help your brother out!

[phone rings]

Is that what you want? That's not a big deal!

We'll have an election in six months.

Gather all our people's votes and make me win, like you did before.

Why don't you answer the call?

-Tell me, buddy. -Hey!

I saw that guy with your sister.

We thrashed him, and he ran away in fear!

-What are you saying? -Yes, buddy. Where are you?

Get here as soon as you can. Let's find him and thrash him.

I'll be there.

Brother, something's cropped up in the village.

I'll get going. See you, Brother.

Whoever it is, bash him up!

-I have your back. -Yes, Brother.

Hello, Inspector!

I may stay quiet.

But not my boys.

More than 500 people broke into our village destroyed our homes!

247 are injured.

And nine of them are in a very critical condition.

I have filed a complaint against them.

You better lock them up and thrash them black and blue!

Not one of them must land a government job.

Done, sir. I will talk to the SP regarding this and get back to you.

I don't care who you talk to.

We have joined hands with the ruling party.

We'll bring over 200 lawyers and besiege the police station!

You don't know about my boys.

You have one hour.

I only want to hear the news of them being put behind bars, clear?

Here.

Rajamanickam!

Leave your ox and get over here.

The whole village has been waiting here since morning to deal with your family matter.

You are busy minding your own business.

You can't raise your daughter well, yet you strut around boldly?

Astonishing, you were given the esteemed title in the village!

You can even die of hunger.

But can we live disregarding our pride and honor?

Is it fair for other girls in our village

to remain unmarried because of your daughter's actions?

We are now a laughing stock in our neighboring villages.

Not one man is ready to marry one of our girls. Do you know that?

Stop it!

Why beat around the bush instead of getting it over with?

If other girls become influenced by his daughter's action,

how will we protect our village?

Everyone will flee the village!

This isn't something new.

We have been dealing with this issue for the past three years.

We tied him up and thrashed him.

We tried all possible ways!

He doesn't seem to back off!

Shouldn't our girl be a bit more smarter?

Even if it was my very own daughter, I would have taken the same decision.

We have men on the outskirts guarding our village.

There is no chance of our discussion getting leaked.

Consider it fate and kill her before dawn.

I don't care how you kill her.

Your daughter should be dead by dawn.

Tell me if you can't do it, I'll take care of it like it's no sweat!

Pouring half a kilogram of sugar will turn every bone to ashes.

We can dispose of the ash in the lake.

Despite all the chaos, you are still standing there like a statue.

Aren't you ashamed?

If I were in your shoes, I would have hanged myself long ago!

Why are you standing still, Rajamanickam?

Will you obey the panchayat's decision?

Or are you going to disown your daughter?

You don't want me to disobey the panchayat. Is that what you all want?

Come to my house tomorrow.

You'll see my daughter's dead body.

Happy now?

Is everyone pleased to hear this?

What else is there to discuss?

He's agreed to adhere panchayat's order.

Disperse everyone!

Hey, you!

Call the guys and ask them to keep the cremation materials ready.

[in Telugu] Look, Rajamanickam.

There are just our three families in this village.

The villagers must listen to us.

We must stand as an example to all the villagers.

It's okay if one among the three is gone.

Trust in God and kill your daughter.

Understood?

Dear, eat something, please.

Why are you starving yourself?

Eat something, dear.

Just take a few bites, dear.

Listen to your grandma, dear.

My eldest!

Your daughter hasn't eaten anything, son!

Ask her to eat something.

Darling?

Dear?

Dad…

Dad, don't make drastic decisions just because of village pressure.

Let her stay with us.

Give me some time, Dad.

I'll convince her somehow.

She'll definitely listen to me.

Please, Dad.

I won't pay heed to anyone!

I won't let anyone change my heart.

I don't need any of you!

It's only him I need!

You won't get us married, right?

I don't care about being killed by you!

Death doesn't scare me!

I want to live this life with him.

If not, you can kill me!

Why are you talking like this, dear?

Cook my favorite chicken curry and mix poison in it.

I'll eat it and die peacefully.

You can keep up your pride and honor and lead a righteous life!

Such nerve of you to talk back!

Can't believe the audacity you have!

-Don't hit her! -Go to hell!

I've been holding back for so long! You're getting on my nerve!

I should have made you limbless long back!

I urged you to get her married as soon as she finished her studies.

But no one paid attention!

Rajamanickam!

Do you think you deserve respect for the way you run your family?

It is a disgrace to call you an elderly person!

Hey! Your village leader keeps calling me.

Obey what the panchayat has decided.

Their decision sounds fair to me.

-Dad! -Son!

-Please don't do it, Dad! -Don't let her eat that!

-Dad! -What is this, dear? Don't, please.

No!

Please don't eat, dear!

No, please don't eat!

No, don't!

Please don't eat!

Datchayini! Please don't eat, dear! Don't, dear!

Please don't eat, dear! Listen to me!

You can't die just because you loved someone!

Don't eat it, sister!

Sister! Don't eat it, sister!

Sister! Please!

Dear! She is our daughter! Go and stop her.

Oh God!

No, sister! Please don't eat!

Sister! Please don't!

Stop eating!

-Tell her, Mom! -Stop eating!

Sister! Sister! Don't eat!

Stop her, Dad!

KARAIYAMPALAYAM

DISTRICT COLLECTOR KALLAKURICHI

Hey, can't you see the Collector's car?

How dare you block the road with your bike? Remove it now.

We are voters, and we're still on the streets.

Call the Collector. I need to give this petition to him.

Is this even the place for it?

Whatever it is, bring it to the Collector's office. Now, move.

I've been filing petitions for the last six months.

Like a paper shredder, the office keeps eating up our petitions.

What's the problem?

Greetings, sir. I'm sorry to give you the petition this way.

I'm Kousalya from Karaiyampalayam in Kallakurichi.

Karaiyampalayam, Eduthanur,

Seerpanthal, Chinnamaniyanthal,

Periyamaniyanthal, Thiruvarangam,

Kadambur, Marur, Pudur,

Odiyanthal, Elayanarkuppam,

Aruthangudi, Manampoondi,

Chinnakolliyur, and Periyakolliyur.

There are about ten wine shops in and around these 15 villages.

But there are just two schools.

People are drinking to their deaths, sir.

Even tenth graders are drinking and hitting their parents.

When I was young, only a few in the village were drunkards.

They made sure no one knew about it.

But nowadays, it's rare to find men who don't drink.

No one is happy, sir.

They look and act like animals with all that booze in them.

Many kids can study and eat because of their moms' hard work.

Is it fair for the government to profit from women's lives?

It doesn't stop with this.

You can't walk anywhere near lakes, ponds, or canals without seeing booze bottles.

You opened a wine shop and made people drink.

It's not just the people who are dying.

Our land is dying, too.

How is this fair?

I'm giving you a day's time

to close the ten wine shops in those 15 villages.

Else, the next 24 hours,

I'll burn down those ten wine shops.

File whatever case you want. Lock me up wherever you wish.

I won't care even if you hang me.

I'm happy to sacrifice my life to save the families in these villages.

Here you go, sir.

What is this, sir?

Who does she think she is, arrogantly ordering you like that?

Muthuvel…

That's not arrogance.

That's the selfhood you get from fighting injustice.

And she got it from her leader.

When a man becomes a greater human, it's history.

But when a hero becomes a superhero, that's a heroic history.

-What happened, brother? -I'm not sure.

He's been on edge since morning.

Is that so?

What is it?

What happened?

There are thousands of people who believe in you.

If not you, who'll save them?

If you lose hope, who'll take care of us?

Did someone betray you? Tell me. I'll bring his head to you.

Son…

I've seen a lot of traitors in my life.

This is nothing.

The policemen burnt

the cashew bags of our farmers.

Yes.

But we've already planned the rally against the police in Ponparappi.

We did. But they don't want the rally to happen.

I don't understand.

We've announced the protest rally against the police, right?

They're planning to enforce a curfew to prevent that.

If we decide on something, we should make it happen.

Fighting for social justice,

I've lost hundreds of my people's lives.

Fighting in wars and fighting for our clan

is our caste's Dharma.

Even if we die fighting,

we should never fear losing our lives.

The protest rally will take place at the decided time and location.

I will make sure it happens.

Be prepared to lead the rally.

I'll take my leave.

My dear people!

Please listen to what I have to say.

We plough and farm our small lands

to feed others despite our hardships.

We are the ones protecting this land and people.

We also safeguard our culture's morals.

Despite all our efforts, some are still trying to destroy us.

They're trying to divide us and create conflicts among us.

If power is in our hands

they can't loot or scam people anymore.

They fear the justice we'll bring if we get the power.

Enough is enough.

The government is trying to stop our protest rally

against the police department who burnt our cashews.

They're imposing curfews on us.

But these curfews and rules are nothing in front of us.

I'm not new to prisons.

And I've seen hundreds of cases.

Our rally must happen on the fixed date.

Those who have shame, morals, and a sense of honor

can come to the rally.

Those who don't have a sense of shame or honor…

Those without morals…

Those who don't know their father's name

can hang themselves.

Listen to me carefully.

Those who come to the rally…

wearing our party's attire

and wearing our union's clothing is not enough.

Bring tools from your houses

like billhooks, shovels, crowbars and axes

that you use for farming.

If you live, live with valor.

If you die, die with honor.

Listen! The government has imposed a curfew under section 144.

If you continue with your rally breaking the curfew,

both the CM and I, as the District Collector,

have agreed to carry out a targeted operation.

Those who want to live, run.

Else, this place will turn into a graveyard.

There will be no discrimination in this regard.

We'll shoot every one of you without mercy.

Do you see that line?

You'll be alive as long as you don't cross that line.

Cross it, and our bullets will shred you.

You are our clan's savior.

Our people will not see another leader like you.

I'll deal with their empty threats.

Hey, policeman! Did you think this gun would make us all run?

Death doesn't scare us. Being scared is our demise.

How dare you threaten to shoot us

standing in our town's land.

Come on. Show us what you've got.

Shoot me.

We are not those cowards who hide and attack.

We are the ones who teach others about truth.

You better learn our history.

I've been arrested before.

Trying to threaten me?

Please, come on.

Long live our Tamil people.

Let our mother tongue and motherland prosper!

I've heard about Alexander the Great.

I've read about him in books.

I've heard a lot about him from others.

Same way, I've read about Napoleon

from my books.

Such a brave man has been with us all along.

Today's incident brought it to light.

From today, he'll be called the 'hero' of our clan.

You went to the ration store, right?

Did you get the Pongal gift money?

Don't ask me about that.

I've been walking there every day.

All I got was leg cramps.

I don't think they'll give it now.

They might give it next year.

But I received it.

You received it?! How?

I went there in the morning.

-Received it in the evening. -Eat up.

Hey, wait.

Bring another plate for him, too.

He probably ate already. You eat.

-Watch your mouth. -Brother…

Go ahead and eat.

-Why are you talking to her? -What?

What the hell is this?

Why is the curry so salty?

It tastes good for me.

Of course, it'll taste good for you.

Go back to your mother's place.

-Hey, hey! -Why should I go back?

-Hey, leave me. -How dare you?

One slap, and you'll see the stars.

I was going easy on you. But you need some whooping.

Brother, don't leave her.

All women are cruel like her.

They'll keep plotting to separate brothers.

Come on. Slap her.

How dare you hit my brother in front of me?

Who do you think I am?

-Wait, I'll tear your face. -Hey, wait!

-Wait! -Leave me.

How dare you disrespect my wife in front of me?

Leave him, you dog.

You fat pig!

Hey, I'll do as I want and as I wish.

Who are you to ask me? Why do you care?

It's not like you are any good.

Get lost!

Oh, God! Dear, come here.

Dear God! Some hell rat broke my head!

-Who the hell hit my wife? -It hurts so much!

-Does it hurt? -No, it feels nice. Idiot.

Go thrash him.

Oh, God! Oh, my God!

Lord, I can't take this anymore.

Kapil, that corn seller is thrashing your wife.

What are you doing here?

You'll see his fate. But in some time.

Die, you rat!

One grip from her

and your eyeballs will come out.

He's escaping. Thrash him.

What's that noise? Come on, guys. Let's check.

That's my aunt's voice!

Oh my God!

You know nothing. Get out of here.

To hell with these idiots. They're all going this side.

None of them are going the other side.

Gosh! My legs are killing me.

-I swear. I made it. -Don't lie.

-Why would I lie to you? -As if.

Dear, stop.

My son is playing cricket near the palm tree on your way.

Can you please give this to him?

He loves chicken curry.

He'll eat heartily if it's warm.

His name?

I call him Akila.

My husband calls him 'my son'.

Mariamma, stop. I said stop.

When you asked for some sambar,

I gave it to you in a bowl.

Your husband and you ate it heartily, right?

You even licked the bowl clean.

Where's that bowl?

It's not like we built a house with your bowl.

I'll return it later. Now, move.

Don't sway too much, woman. You might fall.

She'll even play Twister with Thanos.

She tried to cheat me.

But nobody can do that.

I've etched my name with a flower on the bowl.

Here.

What's your name, dear?

Datchayini.

God's name, is it?

Anjalai, stop right there.

-I said, stop. -What is it?

I know you finished your harvest. When are you paying me?

Hey, come on. Let's leave.

Looks like she'll fight everyone.

She made us do her job and she's off to fight.

SIVALAYA GARMENTS

-Greetings, sir. -Sit, sit.

-Hello, sir. -Sit down, please.

-Greetings, Grandpa. -Sit down, dear.

Your dad wants you to get a government job.

Why are you sitting here stitching rags?

It's so boring to stay at home, Grandpa.

I totally forgot.

A street play happened in our town yesterday.

Your dad acted amazingly as Bheema.

There was so much crowd.

All of us watched the entire play without sleeping.

Dear, did you eat?

Not yet, Grandpa.

We all work to fill our stomachs, dear.

Continue your work after eating.

Okay, Grandpa.

Sister, that woman gave this to give it to her son.

I totally forgot.

-Shucks. -Give that here.

Woah! Chicken curry smells fantastic.

What are we going to do now?

Let's think after eating.

[all] Give me some.

Tastes amazing, Sister.

Wow! Tastes amazing.

Give me some more.

To me, too.

Enjoy!

Brother, pack one chicken biryani.

Make sure the leg piece is huge.

Why is it so less?

Ask for some more.

Say no! Say no! Say no to alcohol!

Let's make Tamil Nadu an alcohol-free state.

Say no to alcohol that eats up families!

Say no! Say no!

Brother, deliver this to Akilan in Poonga Nagar.

-Door number? -We don't know.

It's just Akilan from Poonga Nagar.

Make sure he gets it.

Right.

When will he get it?

Tomorrow evening.

It can't take that long.

He should get it today.

Then, I should deliver it myself.

What are you waiting for?

Who's Akilan?

That's my son.

-What's the matter? -Biryani delivery for him.

In courier!

Biryani?!

Wow!

Tastes amazing!

Wow!

This is how a biryani should taste.

Yours taste like cat's crap.

As if!

With our ration rice

what else would it taste like?

Shut up and eat.

Hey!

Where did the egg go?

Oh, I sent it to your mother's.

Shut up and eat it.

Clean it all.

Hey…

The vessel is heavy.

I think we can sell it for a thousand rupees.

If my sister-in-law knew about this, she'd kill me.

-Yes. -Quick. Take it in.

It will be fine. Make sure you don't create chaos.

Your dad can't survive without watching soap operas everyday.

-So you weren't watching it, then? -No, that's not what I meant.

They depict women as evil in all the soaps.

-Why did you stop? -Get down, Mom. The bike stalled.

This damn thing keeps acting up all the time.

Isn't this new? Why is it acting up?

I'm going to get rid of this junk someday!

-Damn it! Stupid bike. -Idiot!

Why are you kicking it? When I first met your dad, he was riding this bike.

Mom! Shut up. I'm really pissed off now.

Jayakodi wanted a geometry box.

-I'll get her one during the Sunday market. -That 'Chicken curry' lady is waiting there.

Uh oh! Look the other way.

Now, where have I seen her before?

Hey! Catch her!

Catch her.

Hold on tight, Mom.

Hurry up!

Hey, keep quiet.

-Catch her before she enters the town. -Hurry up.

-Any faster, and we'll go to jail! -Oh, hurry up and drive fast!

The only way it'll go any faster is if you push it.

-Keep quiet. -If it was your dad, he would've caught up with them!

Like hell, he would! Keep quiet, Mom.

You eat like a glutton but you can't even flag her down.

-Hurry up. -Drive fast.

-Watch this. We're almost there. -This is it. We're caught red-handed.

I've caught her!

You, wait! Wait right there.

Hey, girl! If you wanted to eat, eat and return the vessel.

Why did you run away with it?

Where the hell is my vessel? Return it to me this instant!

I want it right now!

You can't leave this place until you return it to me.

You think that was some ordinary vessel? That was the first vessel my husband bought.

Give it back right away.!

Mom! She returned it the very same day.

I was the one who lost it. I kept it from you as I knew you'd get mad at me.

You useless oaf!

Why did you do this?

I yelled at her by mistake!

Dear, please don't take it to heart.

This fool lied to me.

What did you say your name was?Tehsildar?

Datchayini.

Datchayini.

Datchayini.

It's the name of a deity.

Sweetheart, this bindi doesn't suit your face.

Wear a red squiggly bindi instead.

You'd look gorgeous.

You idiot! Turn the bike around.

Why are you looking at her like a lost puppy?

It's brand new. That's why it's a bit noisy.

Hey, sit back!

Sister.

Please don't take this the wrong way.

The guy who's constantly behind you,

he's a good man.

He fell at my feet and begged me.

He said you mean the world to him.

He said if you don't accept his proposal, he says he'll get drunk and commit suicide.

He might just do that.

He's a good guy.

He cut himself just for you!

You saw how much blood he lost, right?

Say yes to him, Sister.

I truly believe he will take good care of you.

You should, too.

Hey, Kichaka!

I will kill you!

For you tried to assault Draupadi, an innocent woman!

Wretched man! How could he do this?

My dear girl.

Why?

Datchayini!

-Dear! Datchayini, are you alright? -Are you okay, Datchayini?

Are you alright? Dear! She has recovered!

Dear! Oh my God!

The Gods I pray to haven't abandoned me!

-My girl is alright! She'll be okay! -Dear God!

Dear!

My precious!

My girl is fine.

-She's alright. -How could you do this?

Dear!

Oh, no! My dear!

-What happened? -What's wrong?

-Jayakodi. -My dear.

-Jayakodi! Are you alright? -What happened?

-What's wrong? What's wrong? -Are you okay?

-Dear! Dear! -Jayakodi!

Oh, no! How could you do this?

Why did you act in haste?

Why did you act in haste?

-What's wrong with my child? -Why did you do this?

I'm responsible for what happened to sister.

-Oh, no! Oh my God! -Why did you jump the gun?

I didn't mix the poison in the food.

You thought your dad was heartless to poison his child?

Oh, God! Oh my God!

Dad. She's innocent.

She's innocent.

I'm the reason behind all this.

She knew nothing about this.

She's innocent.

Unite her with him.

She's really innocent.

She's really…

Dear?

Oh my God! My daughter.

Oh, my! I lost my child!

Oh, God! Jayakodi, my dear!

Keep quiet. Keep quiet.

Stop shouting.

-Jayakodi! -She has left us.

Jayakodi!

Jayakodi!

Jayakodi!

How could you abandon me?

Dad, you'll let me wear this only at her wedding, right?

What if someone steals this by then?

You should let me wear them.

Like I wouldn't?

Hey, help her put on all the jewels.

-Here, Dad. You do it. -Sure, my dear.

Go on. Continue.

You know how to get things done, my dear.

-Come with me. -No, Dad. Please.

Listen to me.

I'll stay right here.

Mom.

I'm not going anywhere, Dad.

Dad… Jayakodi! Jayakodi!

Jayakodi…

Come with me.

My dear! My dear!

My dear! Stop.

Wait, my dear.

This land fed us for generations.

Keep this with you safely.

It'll feed you someday.

Be safe, my dear.

My dear!

Grandma!

Dad?

-We're almost there. -My legs hurt, Dad.

Come on. Come on.

Son.

I know I should've asked you this before.

You'd understand my pain if you had a daughter.

Son…

I was so mad that I wanted to kill you,

and burn down your village before turning myself in.

I still think my kin are important.

And that my prestige is more valuable than anything.

I don't understand anything.

Parents don't understand anything.

Do you talk in such a convincing manner,

or is it something that comes with age?

Or is it truly unrequited love?

I still don't understand.

Even now,

I'm letting her go with you

because of the trust she has in you.

Because she trusts you.

Even now,

I don't know if my son or my village

would accept this just as I did.

I don't have the answer to that.

I only ask this from you.

I've never been mad at my child.

I've never hit her once in my life.

I've never let her go hungry.

Even if you don't treat her like a queen,

but under no circumstances,

don't ever let her go hungry,

Sir, why would you even ask us this?

You've proved what a great man you are.

From now on, she's like a daughter to me, too.

I will take good care of her.

Won't we?

Dear, come with us.

Brother?

I know you're mad at me.

This will be the last you'll see of me.

Take care of Dad.

Here, Son.

Son…

She's more than a daughter to me.

She's like my mother.

Please take good care of her.

Please.

Please.

Dad.

Dear!

Bless you.

Take care of her.

Take care of her.

Don't worry about anything.

We're here for you.

We will take good care of you. Okay?

Don't worry.

Don't feel bad, my dear.

I've always regretted not having a girl.

I'll take care of you like my own.

What's your name, my child?

Datchayini, Grandma.

You look beautiful, my child.

Is our boy any less? He looks like a prince.

Welcome, sir.

Hello, sir.

This way, sir.

Hey, make way. Move.

-Sir is here. -Hello, sir.

-Hello, sir. -Greetings, sir.

-Move. Make way. -Hello, sir.

Sister?

I'm like your brother.

Stay strong. We will take care of you like a goddess.

Hey, she might be hungry. Get her something to eat.

Go ahead and eat.

I'll be right back.

Come with me, Akilan.

You heard him. Get her something to eat.

-Sir, will I get into trouble? -Don't worry about anything. I'll take care.

Okay, sir.

Please sit.

You saw what he has done. He's as sharp as a knife!

And these idiots here! They keep nagging me for money.

And when I do give them money, they get drunk and beat up their parents.

Besides this, they bring nothing but trouble.

"Sir, help! I'm in jail".

They call me every time they're arrested.

Useless fellows! They can't even pick chicks up.

Learn from Akilan.

He's the sharpest tool in the shed.

Hey.

Give it to me.

Take this.

-You don't have to, sir. -Here. Consider it my gift.

Okay.

Take that girl to Bangalore.

A place to stay, a job, everything is all set.

If you need any more money, call me. I'll send you more.

Got it? I'll call you after three months.

You come back. Got it?

I don't understand.

Hey, he doesn't understand.

I'll call you after three months.

-You come back. -But you told me to make her fall for me.

Hey.

So, you weren't in love with her?

Get lost.

That poor man set aside his pride, prestige and his status amongst his relatives

held my hand and begged, "Please don't let her go hungry",

his hands never stopped shaking.

Watching it made my blood run cold.

-Have you ever seen a girl's father beg? -How dare you!

-Do you realize who you're talking to? -Wait.

-Don't hit him. -I'll kill you!

Get back. Get back.

Why did he just hit him, sir?

I say this now.

I say this with conviction, I'm deeply in love with her.

I'll stand by her in life and death.

-That's the spirit! -Are you trying to teach me a lesson?

-Do what I tell you! -What you're saying is immoral!

Pure love is what truly unites people.

But you're trying to weaponize love!

Are you trying to turn them into scapegoats for your political gains?

We're not a bunch of savages to nod our heads to whatever you say!

Your tricks won't cut it here.

Give me that! Here's your money.

Pick it up yourself. Come on.

Let go of his hand, damn it.

-Hey. What happened? -Look!

-Oh, God! -Hey, wait. Wait.

Don't get in my way! Here. Take this.

-Where are you sending my son off to? -Hey, get up.

Hey, take her somewhere just like her dad wanted and be happy!

I'll take care of things. Go, now!

-Hey! -Do you want those kids to be happy?

-Don't stop them, then. Go! -Wait. Wait.

Get going.

Hey, Akilan!

-She's innocent. -Poor kids! They're leaving.

-I told him not to. -She's given up everything because she trusts you.

Don't ever abandon her.

Live your life!

Don't listen to anyone else.

Don't listen to them.

Go! You'll be happy wherever you go.

My son is leaving me for good!

How could he go against your word, sir?

Keep an eye on him.

-We'll take care of it after the election. -Okay, sir.

They decided to live their life for the sake of their parents

and the deep love she had for him.

A FEW MONTHS LATER…

Hey, Bro! Akilan! How are you two?

-Hey, bro! How are you? -I'm fine. It's been ages since I saw you.

I'm fine. Are you guys doing fine?

Good to see you guys. How have you guys been?

-It's been ages since I met my friends. -Why have you lost so much weight?

I'm good. How are you guys doing?

-We're fine, what happened to you? -I'm glad to see you guys.

Hey, why did you leave without saying a word?

-Is he still mad at me? -No, he still asks about you.

-Is it? Take care of my mom. -We'll take care.

-Come home, let's have lunch. -We just had lunch.

-Please, brother. -You heard her. Come on, guys.

Come on.

CENTRAL PRISON, CUDDALORE - 4

Congratulations! Iniya gave birth to a baby boy.

-Hey, Akil! -Congrats, my son.

-Congrats, my boy. -I'm happy!

Congratulations, Son-in-law.

But I didn't get justice.

That's why I've come in search of you, Sami.

I've come to you.

Don't spare that murderer, Sami. Don't spare him.
