Original subtitles

"Thalapathy"

"His entry spells power"

"Who is our master? Commander...!"

Mother

'Appa...!'

'Let's kill this boy also, partner'

If we burn all the evidence we will be the prime suspects

'We need a witness to speak in our favor'

All that is fine

Just like his father, what if he also makes trouble insisting on being truthful?

Let's find out right away

Hey boy What's your name?

- Bhavani - Huh?

Bhavani

How did your parents die?

They were burnt to death in a gas explosion

[loud laughter]

He sure knows to survive, I say

After we use him as a witness

...let us complain against him for stealing our union funds

'His father is Lorry Union leader'

If we claim his son stole union cash will anyone believe that story?

Sudden show of mercy, huh?

He's so young, that's why

Hey boy, listen

I'll send you to a place where boys like you are well looked after

Will you go there?

'Govt Juvenile Observation Home Nagercoil, Kallakurichi'

'That boy shouldn't sleep even one night in peace'

I've given you more than what you asked

Thank you, brother

If there's any kind of foul play Esakki will hunt you down and kill you

- Keep an eye - I'll take care, bro

'Hey! Come'

'What are you glaring at him for?'

Hey! You want the luxury of sleep, huh?

What are you looking at?

Wipe it

Wipe my boots

Pickle you to pieces, rascal!

'All of you, move aside'

Hey you! Can't hit you more than this

Standing

Standing so still least bit affected!

You are hitting me mercilessly because someone is paying you

I have to pay you much more to make you stop hitting me

I am penniless Hit me all you want

When I have the money

I'll call you then

[phone ringing]

- Who is this? - 'Brother'

'That boy Bhavani has escaped from jail'

Scumbag! Is this why I'm spending so lavishly?

I'll deal with you in person Find him before daybreak

Scuzzbag!

'Don't worry, anna'

I won't harm you

'If I had wanted to, I could have easily slit your neck when you were asleep'

But I can't be on the run throughout my life

I came here to request you to let me lead a normal life

I don't understand

Let me live my own life

What do I gain by releasing you, huh?

Give me a chance for just this 1 week

I'll give you half of what I earn this week

'Whichever week I don't pay you'

...stab me on that same day at that same spot

Fine, I'll take a chance on you

This week is yours, go

How much do you usually pay for a lorry to cross the check post without a permit?

Only if you cough up Rs 1000 per lorry you'll be allowed to pass

I'll get the permit slip

Rs 1000 is yours to keep

I want Rs 100 per lorry

If the policemen hassle us?

That's my responsibility

What, I say? What do you want?

'2002-2003 Register'

Go...go

Move...move

Come, quick

Hey! Wait...wait

Hurry up

If you want the permit slip in your hand

I must get Rs 500 per lorry

Got it?

Whether I'm here or not

...ensure the boys get their share of booze and fag

'Govt Reformatory'

In a way, only we are responsible for all this, partner

When we killed his father we should have burnt him to ashes too

Now he has the gall to contest as head in the Lorry Drivers' Union Election

How did he amass this much wealth, bro?

Logu, do you know how many lorries run under his control?

On top of it, he owns a meat factory

He is into exports too

All this is common news, partner

These boys in the reformatory for juvenile delinquents

'He uses them to do something That's where the money flows in'

Some even say he plays proxy to a minister to launder his money

If he wins this year's Union election

...he will stoop to any level to avenge his father's murder

Doesn't make sense to spare him beyond this stage, partner

Talk of the devil!

Close his chapter

Hello, my dear boy Hindu, Muslim, Christian

You seem to have the charms of all the Gods around your neck

Each sect endorses a particular God

One God will save me when I'm in danger

Minimum guarantee

Philosophy?

Is this the same chap who pleaded when he was 17 to spare his life?

We need to discuss something very important with you

You were paying us on a weekly basis all these years

You can stop it

Instead you can sell all your assets

'Go and earn a living somewhere outside India'

I felt the same and wanted to tell you next week

'For how long? That too every week'

How can I pay tax to you to ensure my life is not at risk?

That's why I've decided to stop payment

That decision isn't yours to take, scumbag!

'Just zip your lips and obey our orders'

I will do only what I feel is right

Hey...dai!

I am well aware of how dirty your hands are

Making those boys surrender for the crimes you commit

'Instigating them to kill We know about all your offenses'

Don't show off your temerity Just tuck your tail and scoot

Otherwise you will meet your death in our hands, watch it

[mocking laughter]

[imitating laughter]

Look around you This is my area

'If I set my heart on it'

Only your lorry will move from here

Not you

I think you are unable to differentiate working for money and for gratitude?

Shall I show you a sample?

Listen! We have an important work to do, come here

'He is calling us, come'

- 'Bhavani, da - Why is he calling us suddenly?'

Whoever kills these 3 men in this spot will be rewarded

With a prize money

2 million

[burst of amused laughter]

'Do you realize where you are and what you are blabbering?'

You think I work for anna with money as motive?

We go back a long way, da

- 3 million - If you raise it 50%?

- 'He is like my own brother' - 4 million

Why are you keeping quiet when he's so arrogant, bro?

Just say 'yes' I'll kill him-

5 million!

- How dare you rattle off? - 6 million

Hey! Kill him now

Wait...let us hear our brother out!!

7 million

Wait...wait, bro

I'll go up to the gate and make sure no one enters this area

- 8 million - Whaaaat?

Move aside

Then shall we lock the deal for 8 million?

- Okay, bro - Are you ready?

We will divide 8 million equally I'll deal with these 3 men

Now do you know the difference between greed and gratitude?

Bro, chopper

I don't need this

I'll give you 2 minutes

Kill me if you can

And save yourself

Hey!

Hey!

These boys?

Yes, sir

Post mortem matches the crime scene?

They have done a neat job, sir

Not knowing to drive they ran over a man

You expect me to buy this?

'Whom are you trying to trick?'

Sir, I'm not a professional driver

I thought I'll try my hand But turned out fatal

- Right? - Yes, sir

- 'Do they have a past history?' - Yes, sir

Pickpocket case, 511

Then 6 months they were in a Govt reformatory

Now they are in IPC 302 Punished for murder

Is this a reformatory?

Or a criminal training center?

Why do you need this reformatory that turns a thief into a murderer?

- Call the Observation home staff - Okay, sir

Sir, he's calling you

Good afternoon, sir I am the superintendent here

Forget the introduction, when do you intend employing a regular master?

The boys drive away any master we appoint

Actually scared of them, no teacher wants to take up this post

But how can you run a school?

'Not one teacher so far, huh?'

Shocking and shameful!

If there's no master to teach or guide the students

'...how will they reform, huh?'

'I have personally seen 30-40 cases like this here'

'Superintendent, I'm passing a Govt order'

'Send it to all private, Govt schools and colleges, to every single institution'

Whole of Tamil Nadu

'You'll find a master for sure, understand?'

Type out the order

"They call me master Changes will happen faster"

"His entry spells power"

"Who is our master? Commander...!"

'St Jeffery College is a truly renowned educational institution in Chennai'

'Alumni of this college have carved a name'

'In cinema, politics, advertising and are celebrities in their own might'

This college has molded innumerable VIPs

'Students are very eager to make this a very memorable reunion'

Do you want to know why? Come along with me

Hi...Ramya

- Hi, nice to meet you - Same here

I've spoken to you over the phone

- Oh! That was you? - Yeah

Okay...okay

- What's your full name? - Charulatha Prasad

Come, let me introduce you to everyone

- This college has a decorum - Students are capable of doing it

Their plan is to ruin our image when the minister arrives as our chief guest

'If this issue leaks, your college reputation is at stake'

You want to take further action

- Do so after the minister leaves - This is well planned

'Sri, stop this cat & mouse game'

- You had better confess the truth - Trust me, sir

- Isn't JD responsible? - No, sir

I swear, no, sir

Then who is the culprit? Your father...?

Everyone knows about Savitha's trauma

I know how those 2 scumbags sexually harassed her-

Hey! Mind your words

Spit that gum first

I said throw it out

I'll trash it as soon as it loses its sweetness

Don't act smart

The two noble souls who sexually harassed her

You suspended them for 1 week

Knowing it was inadequate we even complained to the police

But they took us for a ride without taking any action

Only then we knew Aadith's dad is a rich businessman

I think he has planned to send them off to Canada

That's why I took the boys

'...to his house to find out his plan'

'Hello, sir, they haven't left the house as yet'

'I think they are still inside'

'But it's evident they have hatched a plot to escape'

'Strangers keep walking into their house'

'Sir, I can hear their voices I think they are coming out'

- 'Take care, son - Don't worry, pa'

- Be safe - I'll call as soon as I reach

'This is the duo'

'Call after you reach the airport'

Go...go...go

Let's follow them

Both of them have left home, sir

Aadith and Rahul are in a taxi They just crossed Ashok Nagar

'Along with our boys I am following them, sir'

- Where are you, bro? - 'At a signal'

- Which signal? - Jafferkhanpet

Ask him the bus #

- Which bus? - '70 V'

Bus #, bro?

70, V

It's coming close to you Waiting at the signal now

'Bro...look this side'

I've spotted you Come on, hurry up

'Look, it's that bus'

Quick!

- 'Get in' - Move

Both of them got into bus # 70 V, sir

'Bus # TN 01 AN 1184'

'Bus has crossed Jafferkhanpet signa-'

Why did he cut my call?

"Got the man with the plan right here"

"Bringin' swag with the man right here"

[mobile ringing]

"Yeah, clap for me, man, right here"

"Got the man with the plan right here"

"Bringin' swag with the man right here"

"Livin' up and sippin on beer"

"Yeah, clap for me, man, right here"

"Hey! No matter what they say"

"Master the blaster"

"Hey! No matter what they do"

"Mr Master the Blaster"

"Riddim"

"Hey! No matter what they say"

"Master the blaster"

"Yeah! Master the blaster"

"Repeat! Livin' up and sippin on beer"

"Yeah, clap for me man, right here"

"Got the man with the plan right here"

"Bringin' swag with the man right here"

"Repeat! Livin' up and sippin on beer"

"Yeah, clap for me, man, right here"

"Sound the alarm"

"Yeah! Give it up for my man JD settin' fire to the screen"

No problem at all, bro

I've informed our boys

They are inside the airport

Don't worry at all All loopholes covered

"He spells power boldly"

"Who is he? Thalapathy!"

Come, let's go

Not you

- Come - Hey!

Throw him out

Who is that?

Professor

'Bro, get up Come...come'

Hurry up

'Hey driver, don't stop the bus'

Go...go...keep going

'Don't stop, keep moving'

[amused snigger]

'Stop...stop'

'Stop, man'

'Let's get off Come soon'

'They got down from the bus and ran'

Thank god he came in his bike

- It wasn't him - Sorry, sir, he came

Sir, come

'In all this confusion they ran into the Metro station'

Give me the token

Come fast

'Get in, quick'

Looks cool, eh?

I never got a chance to take a Metro train from when it started operating

Thanks, boys

Hey...!

I plan to stab a master here

Brave hearts, continue the ride

Fainthearted, alight

Girls...girls

I'll collect it later

'If you move a bit, I can go there and watch'

Thanks, sir

[smug chuckle]

What?

How are college students and 'dhoti' clad politicians connected?

Airport is close by

Catch an auto or something and go

Don't wait here Hurry up

They rushed out and got into a share auto

Turned out to be our friend Jameel anna's auto, I got in too!

'Easy-peasy that's where they got caught'

- Escape to Canada, right? - Yes, sir

'Friends encircled and took them to the police station, right?'

Yes, sir

So you were responsible for everything

- Yes, sir - JD had nothing to do with this?

We swear, nothing at all, sir

'Sir'

Those 2 boys swear your teacher JD was behind this

- These students are lying - Of course I know, sir

JD is the culprit

- Who is JD? - 'He is playing up with their support'

- I'll tell you, long story - 'One day he'll get caught'

'That will be his doomsday'

Minister has arrived

If you are ready, we can escort him to the auditorium

Come...come

Sir, you please sit

- I'll be back in 10 minutes - I'll wait

- Serve him tea - Carry on

2 minutes, sir I'll be right back

Not picking your call, huh?

It's ringing but he isn't picking

Same-same when student and now as master also?

Shut up, da Vanathi, didn't you try?

I asked the students

- What did they say? - He has been suspended

If you had told us earlier, we could have gone in person and brought him

He must be very busy, try again

'We relish the 'rajma' happil-'

[mobile ringing]

"Livin' up and sippin on beer"

"Yeah, clap for me, man, right here"

Uncle, he's our Principal Anbiah Samuel

Welcome, sir This is our vice principal

'Ramya?'

If that student is such a troublemaker

...why not just dismiss him?

Then he should have got dismissed 20 years ago!

I don't get it

JD isn't a student, my dear

Professor!

- Whaaat? - Dean of student affairs

'First of all we welcome you all'

'Good morning one and all present here'

'Our honorable chief guest Manavai R Gauthaman'

'Respected dignitaries on the dais'

'What happened?'

Sir, students are refusing to come from the back stage

It seems you said this function won't go on without JD?

Then what, sir? We kept telling you he is not to blame

'You've suspended him for 2 weeks'

Any other day it's fine, sir This alumni meet is only for him

How can he not be here, sir? Nothing will happen without him

Are you the human rights activist?

Just you wait!

Sir, the minister has been waiting for a long time

- Please bear with us - He cancelled so many appointments

- Start the program - I'll talk to them and join you

Om Shanti! Om Shanti! Peace in speech and spirit

- Call JD - You suspended him and asking me to call?

- You call him - I don't know his #

Call him, dude

Call before he changes his mind

[humming a song]

[mobile ringing]

"Livin' up and sippin on beer"

Hello...huh...JD

This is Principal...Samuel here

JD sir is fast asleep

Call later

Principal Anbiah Samuel

Anbu, your name can mean love but he won't get up to hear your loving words

- Guzzled down 3 or 4 bottles - 'Can you wake him up or not?'

No chance, love

Hey!

He's drunk

What can I do?

Will you ask your Education Minister to wait for half an hour?

We'll go and get him

- Whaat? - Do it

- What, da? - Not budging an inch

Is this how you drum-roll?

Getting paid right? Bump it, fellows

Rock & roll, man

This is it This is what we want

Ready, da Come on, da

"Master is coming, move aside"

Hey stop...stop

Lift him

Heave-ho!

Speed up!

- Sir, good morning - Good morning

Tea, sir

"The moment our bro steps in it's like an atom bomb exploding"

- Did they really invite me? - Sir, why this doubt?

'I swear they asked you to come'

Bro, beat the drum

"Master coming!"

'Move aside!'

'Rock & roll!'

"Deliberately if you make trouble"

"It will boomerang on you centuple"

"If you jeer or sneer at us"

"Mind you, you'll be limbless"

'Zazzorific!'

Aiyo!

"Tell topsy turvy Yell curvy scurvy"

"Rock & roll Heart & soul"

"Split their ears, no matter Scare them to scatter"

'Move aside'

Aiyo!

"The second our bro steps in it's like an atom bomb exploding"

"Hit the drum harder Scare them to scatter"

"Master, coming"

Bent double, sir?

- Where is the ID card? - I have it, sir

- First wear it and go inside - Done

'We are all soaked in celebration mode'

Let's go

- 'Sit with us, da' - Is he a professor?

Suspended professor

'What is his name?'

'JD'

Start the program

Sir, 1 minute Let me speak

Sir-

Give this to JD sir

'I've attended many college functions'

- Wear your ID card - 'Witnessed many gatherings'

'But I've never seen a crowd like this'

Because the entire crowd here

More than the anchor of the show

'They are celebrating the man seated below'

'It is no mean achievement'

'If he is getting this kind of reception among students'

'Then he must be a dedicated and focused professor'

'If he himself is like this...'

- 'Imagine his students' - Why try all these gimmicks?

'Must be good as gold'

'First give this man a big round of applause'

To get a professor like him

You and your college must be truly blessed

Your eyes are red Wear this shade

'This most revered master'

'I would like him to come up to the dais and say a few words'

'I am calling you, sir'

Please come

Come up and speak

Hey...! Where are you going?

Wait, let me tell a mini story

Did you look at your shoes?

Instead of being humiliated, sit down

If you get up once more-

Please take your seat

JD is our-

Management and staff are completely against JD

But students celebrate him

I don't get this

He has gone out of his way for students' welfare

Students revere him as their true hero

Reason enough for the management to dislike him

Secondly after 6:00 p.m our hero will be totally sloshed!

- 'Sorry - Sorry, guys'

Hello, sir

Good morning, sir

Careful, sir

- Sorry...sorry - It's okay

Hi...hi

Your classroom is at that end

Oh! Good morning

'What is his flashback sob story to get sloshed every day?'

Don't ask him that alone

If he gets a gullible idiot, he'll reel off a Mani Ratnam classic as his own!

Fell head over heels, chased her in the college, bus, everywhere

She also reciprocated and one day we were happily sitting in a coffee shop

Her father walked in!

- Aiyo! Did you get caught? - Wait, akka

Her father's name

Mr Chandramouli!

We were both neighbors in Rainbow Colony

I was in 8G She was in 7G

India is here

America is right here

I took my guitar and left, my love for Anjalai was as strong as 1000 elephants!

We climbed up straight to the top of the mountain

We decided to jump counting 1 to 5

My bad luck, I got stuck in a tree and escaped death

What, da?

Her head hit a boulder and she died

- That's a Kamal classic...don't bug me - Hey...listen

Too much filmy imagination

Okay, which department is he in?

He studied in this same college He finished M.Phil Psychology here

'Now he teaches Personality Development'

May I request you all to please stand up?

I said...stand...up

Now I intend checking if your mind and body are focused

We are hearing

But not listening

Students don't listen to their teachers Teachers don't listen to their students

Now

RUN

Run...run...run

WATER!

Electricity...!

Children don't listen to their parents Parents don't listen to their children

And finally

No one listens to the people!

Whatever I tell you now repeat it verbatim

But

Do just the opposite

Jump in

Jump left

Jump right Dai...dai...!

Now on the starboard

Faster...faster...faster

Now close your eyes and freeze

Class disperse

Getting late for my class

- We'll meet at lunch - Okay, sure

'Let me repeat this'

That scoundrel Bhavani is responsible for all this

He finished off his opponents contesting in our Union election one by one

I know his history A to Z

Gurumurthy, whether these people understand it or not, hope you do

I have been saying this right from the beginning

Who endorsed my view?

With the help of juveniles he is into all criminal activities

Has the cat got your tongue?!

- Tell them - Yov! We know this alread-

Vanakkam, anna

Damn you!

Are you such a big shot, huh?

If you kill him, will you get his post?

- Let me see - No, bro

Why are you so mad at me? I'm like a brother to you

Whatever it is let's talk it over

Any need for me to talk to you?

I'll close your chapter!

Get the car ready

Bro, will a problem be solved if we fight?

Will murder solve the problem? Let's discuss it amicably

I'll use the same juvenile delinquents you use as tool to finish you off!

Want to wait and watch?

I'm like one of them You watched me grow

- Wait, bro - You peed in your pants scared of me

You think you're my equal now?

Whatever it is, let's talk it over

I am much younger than you But pay heed to my words

Don't go, br-

'Oh my God!'

Gone, anna?

'Catch that lorry driver'

So sad!

You were eye witnesses

What did I do?

If I had walked out talking to him I would've shared his fate

Impossible for a human to time this so perfectly

I pray to all Gods thrice daily

So God has saved me and punished him

'He was a good soul!'

To conduct Students' election in our college this year

University Grants Commission has granted permission, but I opposed it strictly

That's why for a mere formality I need all your opinions

Why we don't want election

For the records

I somehow feel it is unnecessary, sir

'Semester is fast approaching'

'In the current scenario why do we need an election?'

'Sir, if this is happening some other issues will create'

- I don't think they are fit for elections - Exactly

'In my honest opinion, no'

'I have no issues with the day college students'

'I am a little apprehensive about the evening batch'

Thanks, Ramya

Charulatha, your opinion?

It's only been 2 weeks since I joined, sir

So if I voice my opinion I don't know if it will be right

Come on, what's there?

- No, sir - Hey!

- Why is JD sir keeping quiet? - That's right?

- He'll wait to get a good point - 'I don't think election is a good idea'

Sir, to be on the safe side ask JD his opinion

'JD, tell us your opinion'

What is your opinion, JD?

- What day was yesterday? - Thursday

Thursday is his day off, da

- 'Professor JD' - He would have been piss drunk

- Come...come - Hey! Careful

'JD...?'

SIR!

Emergency, sir

What are you doing here?

Let me give this phone to Rosie madam

Her husband fell off his bike

'What the hell are you doing?'

I will expel you

- Let her just talk to him - What happened, Abdul?

'Wake up, sir'

Don't switch off your phone

Talk to him

- Poor husband - 1 minute, sir

They are objecting to elections Support us, sir

- Sorry, sir - Get out

- Useless fellow! - Thank you, sir

JD, what is your opinion about conducting elections?

Election is essential, that's all

- I thought as much - 'He will say something meaningless, sir'

If we announce a students' election all of them will be thinking of only that

Not one of them will study nor will anyone attend any class

Correct, what will they learn by conducting students' election?

Why encourage politics in college?

Matthew sir

What is 'politics', sir?

Sir, I don't wish to talk to you

Is that so? But I wish to speak

I'm coming

Sir

First a student should know 'politics' means service

Only if our students learn about election, canvassing, leadership in college

...they will have an awareness about state, central elections for the future

College students are our first time voters

Only if (s)he is allowed to think

A new leader will emerge for the next generation

To mould as a good leader or to choose the right leader

...they will acquire both tact and discretion

For someone to-

They will stick posters all over and spoil the walls with graffiti

Then claim ownership over the walls and fight

Doesn't all this happen in normal elections?

Sit down, sir

Aren't these normal issues that crop up in general elections?

So can we decide to abolish elections in our country?

'We have grown up with this culture of poster, banner, fanfare, still follow it'

If students should know the do's and don'ts of poster etc

...we must conduct elections in college

Only then he will be a good example outside

'If our culture of bribing with 'biriyani' booze and big bucks should change'

...students should know the ins and outs of politics

Okay

Let's assume what you're saying is right

Who is responsible if students resort to violence or damage college property?

Sir, nothing of that sort will happen

If you are proved wrong will you leave this college?

Will you resign, huh?

We'll see if it happens

Then you be the presiding officer

And conduct this election

If any problem crops up

Sign an affidavit you will leave this college

Coming June 25th Students' elections

[loud cheering]

I haven't seen him conduct an election as a master

'But I've seen him do the same as a student'

Pccht!

Shake your hands

This is the wall of democracy

Your rules & regulations

'Gym facilities free for all students'

'Meat will be served for all in the hostel'

Good orators have become able leaders You should speak up more boldly, Savi

'Instead of finding faults with your rival and campaigning'

'...ask for votes listing your reforms'

Tear every single poster, dude

Posters and banners should be stuck or erected in their allocated places

'Even if there's a small brawl among the students'

'...election will be canceled'

You pull back and fire

Cheers!

'Our total strength is 5500 students, sir'

We have divided them into 10 categories

What is this column?

That is religion & caste category

Let's avoid that

Only if we delete it here

It won't tag along with us terribly

Hey! How much longer do you intend drinking like this and roaming around?

Why yell at me for no reason?

Will I yell at you if you are steady on your feet?

- I am sober - Is that so?

Hit an arrow anywhere on this board

I'll agree you are sober and steady

Machi, aim for the bull's eye

Rs 1 lakh to students in each department

Cheers!

'I have a fair amount of experience in counselling'

If you can tell me the reason I can do my level best to help you

Earlier on...when I was jobless

I was hanging around in a tiles company in Rajasthan

- Oh! - At that time

A girl lost her bag in the train

I found it and sent it to her

She liked me for the effort I took

She and I became pen pals and we built a 'Fort of love' just for us

Then when she knew I was in Rajasthan

For my sake that girl took extra pains

Embroidered, knitted a sweater and sent it to me

Sweater in Rajasthan!

True that?

'Whenever you have a problem and you come to me'

'Even if it's midnight I'll be there for you'

Why should we create problems and end up in the police station?

Beverages free in the canteen

Aqua training access free

You will have campus interviews You'll leave the college with a job in hand

Above all give this serious thought

Do you want to be ruled by a girl?

Or revel in a boy's leadership?

Hey! That isn't even my glass

Some other chap has relished a drink and gone, madcap!

How dare you!

1 'JD' please

'3rd round of votes have been counted'

'We have started counting for the 4th round'

Sir...?

'4th round, sir'

Results are due any moment

I'm scared, sir

Are you Satyaraj acting as Amavasai in 'Amaidhi Padai'?

4th round it seems

Pah!

'Most awaiting election results are going to be declared very soon'

'Fourth and final election results are going to be declared'

Bhargav 2588 votes

'Savitha 2648 votes'

'Savitha won the election by 60 votes'

[loud cheering]

Congratulations, chairperson

Sir, I think they have already started creating a ruckus there

Sir, what do we do now?

Why do you still ask me? She's the captain of your ship

Chairman, tell us what to do?

'Sir'

To avoid all these unnecessary confusion I'm thinking of talking to Bhargav directly

Look at that!

By all means go and talk

But go alone

Madam

Don't dilly-dally, scratch your head, crack your knuckles and keep looking back

Don't dawdle and do 'instalment' walk

Forward march!

Sir, will you give me your bracelet?

Why?

Please give, sir

'Dude, play that song'

"Look! We must lead a life like that bird Without a care in the world"

"We should go on a dancing spree like the waves here in glee"

"Under the same sky spacious On the same land so precious"

"Under the same sky endless On our Motherland peerless"

"Let's sing in unity our song of what is our right all along"

I want to talk to you

If she comes offering a truce I'll break the bones on her face

[song from 'Aayirathil Oruvan']

- Bro, tell me - 'What happened?'

Your son lost, bro

What?

Bhargav...er-

I came to congratulate

Winning by just 60 votes is no big victory at all

Er...is there any rule in college there should be only 1 chairman?

You take over day college and I'll handle evening college

Okay, bye

Congrats

I extended my hand even on nomination day

You didn't want to shake hands

At least let it be truce now?

I don't think it's safe for her to go alone

Shall I go and check, sir?

'Let's shake hands'

- Okay - How ridiculous

He has patched up happily

'He is shaking hands with that girl who won'

'Let me talk to him'

1 minute, bro

'Bhargav brother'

Dad, there's no problem I spoke to that girl

She even asked me to be the chairman for Day college, pa

'You got a sudden desire to beg a post from her, huh?'

It isn't what you think, pa I'll come in person and explain

- Bro - 'Pack him home in our car now'

Okay, bro

'If he refuses to go, threaten him'

- 'Rough up that female who defeated him' - I'll handle it

I'll explain to my dad Please don't create a ruckus

He has given me permission to scar even your face, bro

First get inside

But please don't hurt that girl

Sir, he wasn't nasty to me

I shook hands and he said okay

That's all

Celebrations are done

Hey! Catch

Wear these IDS

- Where's the booth? - 1st floor, bro

'Hurry up'

Clear up all this mess and then celebrate

Sir, evening college students are planning to burn down the booth

- Who is he? - Professor, bro

- What, da? - That wasn't a proper election

- We demand re-election or re-counting - Election is over, that's all

- Burn down the booth - Which department are you?

- Come here - Stop this idle talk

I'll kill you I'll break all your teeth!

- Sri, quiet! - 'Give that bottle'

- Wait - Sir...!

- Sir, let go - 'Shut up, all of you'

I'm trying to make peace-

Siiiiir Move aside

Evening college chairman candidate Bhargav wants to talk to you, sir

'My dad didn't listen to me'

He has sent 50-60 Party riff-raffs to bash up everyone in college

'They have merged with the students Ensure our college students are safe, sir'

On the starboard!

- 'Why are all of them spinning? - What are they doing?'

Now close your eyes and freeze

'What is this? Tell us, bro'

'Sticking to the wall like glue?'

Move forward

'They are doing just the opposite'

'Wait, don't go'

Send all the girls home safe

- Sir? - Just do as I say

Hey! Take all of them through the back door

Go...go...fast

'Go now'

SAVITHA, YOU GO!

Hey! That's the girl

'Grab her'

Savitha

Hey...hey!

Hey!

Are you okay?

Go in...quick

Sir, students are all out of control

Let me go

- Take your hands off - Sir...sir

TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF!

How dare you manhandle girls!

Master...!

Nothing major, just a nail scratch

Dai! Meeting is being held in the library

Is everyone safe, da?

'I have checked all the groups'

They have texted me

The entire riot has been recorded in our college CCTV cameras

Is he behaving like a professor?

Excuse me, ma'am, you are talking about damage of property

Rowdies got together and bashed up 4-5 of our girls

What could all the teachers do?

- No one came to stop them - Stop it, Charu

It isn't even 1 month since you joined this college

Just keep quiet

What the hell are they discussing?

I'll be back

I'll talk to JD

Then we will take a call

If he intends coming back we are resigning, sir

'WTH is this meeting in aid of?'

Sir, I have already given a commitment I'll resign

I'm just leaving this college

JD, just wait in the car

- 'I need to talk to you' - Sir...?

I said 'wait'

'I understand'

If they need to know your worth

A gap is essential

Your decision is correct

You wanted a break for 3 months?

I have okayed it

When did I ask?

Isn't this your signature?

Sir

Carbon copy, sir

Oh! Come on, JD

Haven't you opted for a break of 3 months, intending to teach?

Teach? In which college?

College?

As you have mentioned Observation Home

Sir, don't play the fool

What will I do there?

I didn't sign this

Maybe after 6:00 p.m?

After 6:00 p.m

Good chance

See

JD, you're losing control on yourself

If there's any issue in the election didn't you agree to resign your job?

That means you have something on your mind

Fine, sir, I'll go

Think...I have many 'well' wishers here

This must be their handiwork

It's okay, I need a change too, I'll go

'Inspector is waiting at your place to explain the job you'll be undertaking'

'That means'

- Needhimani - Bro?

You didn't pass on any information?

No, bro

Then whatever lawyer sir and I spoke in the union office

- How did the police get to hear? - That's what puzzles me, bro

You know this music director Anirudh?

He has composed a new film song

Shall we listen?

- Listen - 'Bro'

'Bhavani has fixed the date You are his next target'

'He has decided to kill you too by framing it on those boys'

What do you say, bigamist?

At least is this your voice or will you claim its mimicry?

- Bro - Did you call me, Bhavani?

Make sure the boys are supplied their regular dose of drinks and drugs

Whether they get 3 square meals a day or not

Booze and dope should flow steadily

Okay, Bhavani I'll see to it

Where was I?

You got me married and how can you make my wife a widow?

- Tell me, bro - Wait

I'm choking with emotion hearing your sentimental speech

Why are you jerking?

I had tucked the knife in my waist What if it pierces me in the wrong place?

- Not that - Suppose an enemy kills us

Doesn't matter if they say 'that's how Bhavani died a noble death'

If they say, 'he had tucked a knife that stabbed him in a wrong spot'

Does that sound good?

- No - No, right?

Won't sound good

- Lean back comfortably - Don't, bro

- Is that a show of respect? - Yes, bro

How is it over the phone all this 'bro' kinship is missing?

What is this?

- Lean back - No, bro

Won't you comply with your bro's death wish for you?

Lean back...sit...sit...sit!

LEAN BACK!

Dai Gopal!

- Hey - 'Yes, bro'

Tell me, bro

Ask Das to pick 2 boys 10-15 years old to surrender

- Okay, bro - Go

Bro...?

A new master has been recruited for our reformatory it seems

- Okay...so? - I don't know if you know

I thought I should inform you

A teacher is bound to be appointed

All of you are giving a build up as if it is Breaking News!

Dispose this body and ask someone to drive this truck

Okay, bro

"Creep like a lioness, make no sound"

"Slide like a snake, over sun baked ground"

[song 'Rise Up']

Sir, can we switch off that cacophony!

Then shall I wear my coolers?!

"Twist like a hurricane, bend and sway"

"Break like a wave, wash the filth away"

Sir, college students are bound by certain protocols of parents and society

But those juvenile boys there lack all that discipline

Their age and their activities have no connection whatsoever

'Not even a single inmate is human or humane'

'Beasts'

'Kabaddi'

'Demons'

'Kabaddi'

'They know our law is lenient to their habitual crimes'

'They use it to their advantage breaking laws as reckless criminals'

'That's why, I'm telling you, sir'

Don't bend backwards to reform them in those 3 months you are assigned there

Aren't you wondering whether to go there or not?

'Sir...?'

'Sir...!'

'Is our hero in dream world?'

Sir, check if that's your phone?

Bro...bro

'Wake up, bro'

Not mine

Oh! Anna's phone

That's no problem, sir I don't mind going

- I can handle them - 'Sir'

So have you decided you're going?

Here

Das...?

That teacher will be here tomorrow

Despite knowing about this place

...if he is ready to set foot here

Don't underestimate him

First let him land up

After he steps in here

Let's see if he lasts here even for half an hour

You should be in there by 10'o clock

If you freshen up I can take you in my car

In that vehicle?

- Yes - Okay, you go

- I'll take you safe- - I'll shower and come

Okay, bro

Life is a pain, hmmm?

3 months

If he comes in and starts taking a lesson

...ask all of them to fling these at him

Das

"Ooooh yeah You know who it is!"

"If I'm doin' somethin"

"Boy...I like to do it well"

"And when I'm in the zone"

"Aint nobody stoppin' me"

"Ooooh yeah"

"You know who it is"

Das, look at his stride and beard! Doesn't look like a master

Doesn't carry a book or a cane

He looks so local Rough & tough

Let the lamb loiter Then we can slaughter

"Oooooh yeah"

"Master"

"They call me...master"

"You know me...master"

"I'm master the blaster"

"Master"

"They call me...master"

"You know me...master"

"I'm master the blaster"

"If you step foot in our place it is trespassing into our space"

"We will hassle you to the root Master, change your route"

"As carefree boys we roam in this Observation Home"

"Tears in our eyes ready if you ask us to study"

"Don't take lessons in life Or ask us to drop our knife"

"Your lame advice is of no use We don't want your views"

"Sir, don't take-"

Why did you stop singing? It was such a peppy song

Wow!

Song...sketch

Looks like a bunch of talented boys

Not bad at all

Are you setting out to play?

Why? What's wrong?

I don't interfere in the likes or dislikes of anyone, boss

Whoever wants to play, go ahead Want to sit here, be my guest

'I am allergic to the sun I'll sit right here'

Should I teach now?

- No...no - We want to play

Very good

- 'I must catch up on Amazon, Netflix' - Shall we give the letter now, brother?

'I hate the sight of this classroom, bench'

- 'I will throw all this out' - Not now, I'll tell you

Don't indulge in all this graffiti on the board, bathroom walls

You focus on your work and I'll stick to my job

Deal?

We thought of chasing you away if you took lessons today

You are unique, master

He seems to be one of us

Turned out I'm quite jobless

Why waste time sitting?

Why is this place so dirty and stinking to high heaven?

We celebrate 10 festivals a year and 20 birthdays of leaders

You don't clean up this place and celebrate on any occasion?

'Celebrate' means?

That means-

Have a blast, huh?

Right

Rock on

We have no idea of day or date You and your ideas!

So simple

Some of you were singing when I entered, right?

- Who were they? - I sang

What the four of you just sang

If 40 of you sing in chorus

That's celebration

Come with me I'll show you

Beat it

"Let me sing a 'kutti' story Pay attention, listen to me"

Why singing in English, bro?

Just listen, bro

"Let me sing a short story Pay attention, listen to me"

"If you want, take it or else no need tension, leave it, baby"

"Life is very short, buddy Always be happy"

"100s of problems will come & go"

"Chill a bit, bro"

Together, man

"Let me sing a mini story Pay attention, listen to me"

"If you want, take it or else no tension, leave it, baby"

"Life is very short, 'nanba' Always be happy"

"Problems in many designs will come and go"

"Chillax and relax, bro"

No tension, baby

"If you race at a zip zap zoom speed concentration is a must indeed"

"If you crawl at a slow pace to be steady is a must always"

"Oh! Anger always misery, baby"

"Stand united as friends, powerful, buddy"

"Haters are gonna hate but ignore calmly"

"Delete negativity totally, baby"

"Focus on what you dream and don't worry, mApi"

"Positivity will lift you, baby"

"Life is very short, buddy Always be happy"

"Very many problems will come and go Don't be tense, chill a bit, bro"

Students

"Let me sing a 'kutti' story Pay attention, listen to me"

"If you want, take it or else no need tension, leave it, baby"

"Life is very short, buddy Always be happy"

"Problems in many a hue will come and go"

"Take a break, bro"

No tension, baby

"Hard work too is necessary Smart work also is compulsory"

"Self motivation Isn't it your reflection?"

"You need education Plus total dedication"

"Try self evaluation for validation"

"Don't be the person spreading hatred, mApi"

"To talk behind one's back is so crappy"

"Always be polite and just don't be nasty"

"You be the reason to make someone happy"

"Life is very short, buddy Always be happy"

"Many problems will come and go Put your feet up, bro"

One last time

"Let me sing a 'kutti' story Pay attention, listen to me"

"If you want, take it or else no need tension, leave it, baby"

"Life is very short, buddy Always be happy"

"Problems in many designs will come and go"

"Breathe a bit easy, bro"

"That was my 'kutti' story"

"How was my short story"

"That was my Lilliput story"

"How was my 'kutti' story?"

Go...go...go

Master

- Bro - 'He's asleep, da?'

Quick, wake him up

Sir

Sir

Sir?

- Put the letter in his pocket - He is sleeping, bro

Just do it

Hey!

Who is that tickling me?

I can hear footsteps, we'll talk to him over the phone tonight

Come away

We shouldn't get caught

Thank God, only another 89 days left

Go home

[whistling]

Hello, stop

I noticed just now

Don't know who played this prank Why are you riding a cycle?

I can drop you in my car

That's alright I can manag-

I was hoping at least you will bring about a change

Why? It's all going smooth

The boys are having fun

We are submerged in problems

Half the boys are drowning in a sea of drugs

Whatever they get they readily use as weapons

Everyday some boy or the other twists his arm or ankle

Why tell me all these tales? Am I the police or what?

I'm just a teacher here

Sir, you don't understand

The police will nab the criminals Court will punish them

To guide these boys

To sift and sieve right from wrong

We are not equipped, sir They need a master like you

First understand this is a reformatory for juvenile delinquents

'The boys have got into a fist-fight, sir'

'I am unable to control them Whoever is out there, come in, sir'

Yov! Wait, man I am coming in now

First close A block and ensure others don't make it worse

He isn't picking the phone, da

'What happened, bro?'

'I tried 10-15 times He isn't picking my call'

'Try again, bro'

'He isn't picking our call'

'Do you remember Charu akka's #?'

'Call her, bro'

'Hurry up'

Manikandan speaking, akka You saw me in the Observation Home

Someone is coming

- Switch off the phone - 'Hello...hello?'

'Can you hear me?'

Go, anna

Enjoy the 'biriyani'

'Anna...?'

- We don't want - Why?

Not hungry

Is that so?

He asked you to eat, right?

Half baked nutcase!

How much we have suffered, starving in this same spot, moron

Get me some water

Bro, I'm scared-

Lucky to get a leg piece in a 'biriyani'

You can even kill someone

But not rob him of food

Go on, eat

Water

Enough

They took my phone, bro knowing very well it was mine

Whom did you call?

No one, bro

Don't know

Tell me the truth

I don't know, bro

Ma...master, bro

Who?

The master who joined duty

- Master, huh? - He's a boozer, bro

You don't have to take him seriously at all, bro

Why, 'master'?

My father died when I was a kid

Couldn't bear the hunger I stole and got caught

They piled cases on me

And sent me to this Ju...Juvenile Home, bro

We are being released tomorrow

But he is asking me to surrender for a murder case, bro

If my mother gets to know this she will die of shock, bro

If you had called me instead of calling that master

I'm emotional by nature you see

I would have assigned someone else to surrender

Not wanting to surrender isn't a mistake on your part

But you wanted to sneak our internal information

Isn't that a grave mistake?

Grown-up boy, you tell me What you did was wrong or not?

- Yes, it was wrong - So I am right?

Enough of eating 'biriyani'

I'll take it You've had enough

Here, take this

Aren't we both very young, bro?

Think of us as your younger brother and please forgive us this time

My dear, only boys like you should not be pardoned

They pardoned me Look how it has shaped me

How do we deal with this?

We won't repeat this, bro We won't snitch to anyone

Listen, you can be scared of anyone in this world

But if death knocks at our door

...even if it is Lord Yama you shouldn't be scared

I'll give you 2 minutes

Kill me and then save your brother and yourself

What were you doing when these kids stole your phone?

On top of it you have this stuck up attitude!

- Go away - I won't leave you

Listen to me Just run away

- Run outside - I won't go

Mess up all my orders Only plus is your voice!

I won't go

You have only 1 minute left

Decide fast

Go away from here

I won't leave you alone

'What are you doing?'

'Don't, bro'

This is what I expected from you!

Clear out

I won't leave you

Annaaaa...!

Wake up, bro Get up

I'm constable Arumugam Get up, bro

School starts only at 10'o clock Why are you waking me-

We have a problem on hand Inspector wants to see you

Why should I meet the inspector?

Get up, you are sleeping not realizing it's an emergency

Okay, I'll get up

Don't shake me up like a rattle!

Go, I'll follow

'I will come'

"You say you heard a rumor"

"And it's time I let you know"

Start the car, quick

"If delinquents like us lament in pain will our voice be heard; or is it in vain?"

'Not too sure, sir'

'I think they were here for less than a year'

"2 innocent boys here Lost their lives so dear"

"To reside here or hang by a rope One and the same without hope"

'What are you gawking at, huh?'

Yov! Who are you?

- Get out - Sir...sir

He is our class master

Oh! You are that master, huh? First I have to interrogate you

What did you do?

This has never happened before

Did you hit any of the boys?

Tell me

Can't you hear me? Answer, man

Sir, what is this?

Not here, I need to take him for inquiry

'Get him into our police jeep'

'Search all the rooms in case they left any suicide note'

"We want to reform given a choice We are good-for-nothing boys"

"If delinquents like us lament in pain will our voice be heard; or is it in vain?"

"If good-for-nothing louts wail will our voice make justice prevail?"

'N2 Police Station Vadaseri'

Bhavani, can we come with you?

He has asked me to come by myself, I can handle it

What about...that master who is in police custody?

I came out of the reformatory 15 years ago

Reason I've been patient for the past 5 years

I wanted to kill these 3 men and become the president of the Drivers' union

2 men are dead and gone This is the last one to go down

He has sent for me

Is he my priority?

Or is this master important?

He's only important

- What shall we do with this master? - I'll handle him

- Sure? - No problem

- Shall I go now? - I'll go

Let's go

Come with me

Where are you going?

- 2 minutes, sir - Quick, sir will be here anytime

'Are you the mother of those 2 boys who died?'

- 'Yes, sir - Is that so?'

'Give him all the details'

Boozed upto your brow, huh?

- 'Sit outside - Okay, sir'

If someone is calling you 10 times from the same #

...won't it occur to you it may be a serious problem?

No, Ch...Charu

Why are you staring so blankly?

I was a volunteer in an NGO before I took up this post here

Based on a complaint I went for inspection to that Observation Home

That's how I befriended those 2 boys

They told me about the injustice in that reformatory

But I couldn't take any legal action

So many vile threats

The only reason I shifted to Chennai was to handle such cases myself

I needed to be financially secure So I took up this lecturer's post

When you defended the students my faith was recharged

I was convinced this flawed system could be changed for the better

I forged your signature for this post

Even for your job I was the one who applied

Even the founder is aware of this

Now I feel that was a big mistake

If you hadn't come here at least those 2 boys would be alive

Now both of them have left us

How can you defend yourself, sir?

See, I had no idea whatsoever No one told me anything

When have you been sober enough to understand?

Have you ever realized anytime who is talking to you?

I have my share of personal problems

I am unable to come out of it

I can't

...cry

I can't cry, I can't sleep at night either, that's why

I drink

I swear I never thought it would be this horrific

Oh! You can never cry, right?

'I can't understand Tell me without crying'

Charu, where are yo-

- Were your boys into drugs? - I never thought I would see them dead

This is the lady who gave birth to those boys who are dead now

I had reassured her

A master will come

'He will save your boys'

Both my sons are very fond of each other They stick together like glue

My eldest told me just last week

'Let my younger brother study I'll find some job to support us'

'A master was coming he said'

He was sure they will be rescued

But no one came

'My entire lineage has snapped'

Yov! Where are you?

Hurry up

'Listen to him'

Bring your wife

- Yov! Come here - You can go

'He has gone back to his old ways'

- Sir - Who are they?

She is that master's colleague it seems

Pack them all off and move that master to the cell

Okay, sir

Yov! Clear the other cases out of the station

Okay, sir

'What will I do now?'

'How will I live without them?'

'Even now you're so hard hearted?'

Your eyes won't shed tears till the day you die

Get even more sloshed

'Why are you lamenting here? Shut up now'

I said shut up

Do I have to repeat myself? Clear this place now, madam

Clear out

Come with me, sir

I swear-

Come along, sir Standing rooted to the spot

I swear I didn't expect any of this

Don't forget you are also responsible for the death of those 2 boys

Convey my apologies to their mother

You are taking undue advantage of the respect I'm giving you

Don't make me lose my temper Stand right there

I sacrificed my children in such an awful unjust way

'Hey! Come here'

Sir, get some repellent Mosquitoes are lifting us midair!

'Go inside'

Listen, Bhavani

Only you and I are left to contest the Lorry Drivers' Union election

I have to win unopposed

'Looks like it may rain'

Can we have tea and then discuss?

[sniffles]

'Master, my name is Sabari'

'My elder brother is Manikandan'

'He stole from a bakery for my sake because I was starving'

'But they foisted some other case on us and brought us here'

'Everything is wrong here, master'

'They thrash us mercilessly'

'They stuff some powder into our mouths'

'Immediately even our teeth start shivering, master'

'Don't know if it is day or night'

'We put up with all this thinking it is for a short period'

'Now when we are about to be released'

'...they want us to surrender for some other murder case'

'Otherwise they are threatening to kill our mother, master'

'Charu akka assured us you will come and be our savior, rescue us'

'Please save us, master'

'Our poor mother'

'She is all alone'

'Crying nonstop daily'

'I can't cry anymore, master'

'Please, brother Rescue us from this hell'

'I am begging you, anna'

Go ahead

I told you, Bhavani

I want to win unopposed

I called you here to arrive at a compromise

But still I can't trust you

You'll take any kind of cruel measure using those juvenile delinquents

Should I step out of my house daily with fear in every breath I exhale?

That is why-

Did you call me here planning to kill me?

You-

You call someone with a plan to kill him

Treat him royally like a guest and offer him hot tea

You're the only man who asked me for permission to kill

Instead you could have-

Putting you on a pedestal, I wanted to fix an auspicious day to finish you off

I need my brain examined!

'Hey! Wait'

I'll give you 2 minutes

Kill me and then save your men and yourself

'Hurry up'

Do you need an army to bash up 1 man?

Open the door first

Hey, he is a master Watch your blows

You have only 10 minutes

Come out without too much damage

Turn the other way

Murali, come

Switch it off and come

Even if you are reborn pray I don't set eyes on you!

Don't, Bhavani

Wonder what their plan is!

Master, my boss has given you a bus ticket

'Luxury bus Air-condition sleeper'

Leave tonight, you'll reach your hometown in the morning

Got it into your head?

'If you stubbornly refuse'

You saw the 2 boys hanging from the roof?

You'll be next

I'm talking to you

Is that a love letter in your hand?

Sabari, Manikandan

[reading under his breath]

Refusing to surrender in the murder case and ended up dead, those 2 tramps-

Sir, the noise is too loud

Ignore, we'll handle it

Sir, the noise is ear-splitting

- Go in and check - Okay

'Stab him and rip him apart'

Sir?

They may kill that master Please come here, sir

Hey Soundar!

Open the damn door

Soundar

- Tell me - BHAVANI!

The master-

Who are you?

Who is behind this? What is your motive?

Why do you use these innocent boys? I don't know any of this

But I will find out

'Hiding behind these young boys and framing them, neck deep in crime'

I will catch those sissy fellows

I'll hunt high and low, find you and stand right in front of you

I will-

I will make you answer for the death of those 2 boys

Master

Whatever I'm about to say is nothing new for you

Still I'll say it and you listen

I'm waiting!

[confident laughter]

Wait, I say

I will meet you face to face

"He stands for powerful victory"

- "Who is he? - Thalapathy...!"

'Das, I'm very scared'

'He is back again Is there no one to save me?'

'Aiyaiyo!'

"Don't spoil for a fight unnecessarily"

"If you give us hell foolhardily a stone will split your skull speedily"

Master, you've been staring at the rope for a long time?

Want to play on it as a swing?

What is that famous song of his?

Let me tell a 'kutti' story

Hey chee chee! Not short, da

Saaaad story!

"Let me tell a sad story"

"Zip lip, or slip Skip and trip"

"Chillax, master!"

"Take a deep breath, master"

Hey master!

"Cheers to your beers!"

'Night and day, the oldest youngster to the youngest boy, all are doped'

'When they are intoxicated they are not in control of their senses'

'Both have plenty of criminal cases against them'

'2 boys who died are sheer poison'

'Both must have died when totally tanked, sir'

'They won't toe the line with their parents or with our rules'

They are arrogant boys who insist their word is law

'There are 10-12 year olds with all kinds of diseases here, sir'

All dazed and doped

Who told you they were good-for-nothing boys?

Both are 24 carat gold, sir

Both those boys who died

They called a girl I know on the night they died

You mean Charu?

Yes, Charu

I know Charu, I also know who killed those 2 boys

We have tried our level best

But we are unable to stop the dope and booze supply

How can drugs enter the premises without your knowledge, sir?

They have so many routes to supply, sir

Without the wardens' support

'...nothing can be brought in, sir'

As per our rule book, no violence on our boys who are all below 18 here

Using that as an excuse they will bring the roof down!

Presuming others' fears are their plus

...these are riff-raffs who rule the roost

Poor chaps! Trapped for life caught in Bhavani's web

Who is Bhavani?

Beast!

- Bhava...Bhavani? - Don't know anyone by that name

Sir, don't simply keep asking questions

You got any other work, carry on, okay?

See you, sir?

Let's go

'Teachers who came here earlier to reform these boys, giving priority to their family'

...would have made a hasty retreat

But my story is completely different

I have no one to call my own, sir

'The day I saw those 2 boys hang right in front of my eyes'

Their eyes bulging

Tongues sticking out

I died, sir

If you can help me

I will change this place and bring order and fair play here

Whatever hardship comes my way I don't care even if I lose my life

"My life's breath"

I have no problem, sir

If you stick to rules & regulations here, even move heaven and earth legally

I will back you up 100%, sir

"High time I stop needing a high from you"

"Enough of (s)tumbling thanks to you!"

"Today my troubled times will heal anew"

"Enough of being sloshed night & day Get it out of your system today"

"Enough of gifting yourself strife Switch off this dizzying life"

"No more booze to give a kick Quit now, double quick"

"Break the bottles, you surely should Trash them for your own good"

"Enough of being drunk as a skunk Get it out of your system as junk"

Forgive me, ma

"No more daily booze session Quit this deadly addiction"

"Break this habit, begin life anew Trash the bottles now, dude"

"Enough of this, night & day Get it out of your system today"

"Enough of this dependence Switch off without a fuss"

"Enough of being a slave to craving Quit drinking; no more depraving"

"Break the bottles and the habit Trash them for your own benefit"

You got me wrong, Bhavani

Ever since Gurumurthy died

...everyone is scared to contest for that post

I've spoken to the district councillor

In another 10 days

...it will be announced you won unopposed

Come here

Bro, she is the one putting a spoke in the wheel

She registered the case it seems Our boys sent her photo just now

What should we do with her?

Can't you handle a female?

As if you need a priest to choose an auspicious time! Get lost!

Bhavani, even if someone else occupies this post as union leader

Anyway whatever you say will be law Then why aspire for this post?

Fear stemming out of murder is short lived

But fear derived from a post of power and authority lasts a lifetime, right?

After this I'm entering politics

Don't know how many heads will roll to make that dream come true

- I don't get it, Bhavani - All God's will

Our boys will shoulder the sin

"They call me master Changes will happen faster"

Hey master!

- 'Looking tip-top like a new groom? - Correct, man'

He looks different, right?

'Master is in a mood to teach us a lesson'

Do you think he's married?

'If he was married'

And if his wife looks hot

Soooper, no?!

All of you stand height-wise

Shorter ones in front

Taller ones back row Come on, fast

If you come clean shaven and yell you think we'll get scared?

- 'Move on to your next job - At least pretend to be scared'

Poor master!

Let me repeat

Fall in line Stand height-wise

Master, don't judge a book by its cover Instead of height try weight as a measure

This chap like a buffalo here

'Pickpocket case Real pipsqueak'

But our little black ant had the guts to kill

Cut above the rest Then who has more weightage?

What is your name?

You heard me? What is your name?

Master, you can't lay a finger on us

Know that, right?

'Sirrrrr'

You can't hit the boys

Rules

'Don't hit them and get caught unnecessarily'

'Like a new starched shirt, sir is all stiff and spruced up'

"Master's raid, be ready"

"A-Aa-E-Ee, A-B-C-D This is our time, buddy"

"Come, brother, sure and steady"

It is wrong only if I bash up the boys?

Yes

"World famous local master will bash up any lowlife gangster"

"His cane will speak loud and clear To reform a rowdy, law will persevere"

"If you come in to commit a crime Master's raid will give you a hard time"

"Master's raid Pain postpaid"

"Don't buy trouble for a fee Turn your back and flee"

Why are you hitting us, sir?

As master, think you can get away hitting us?

'We are also wardens here'

We told you not to hit the boys So why are you caning us?

"Don't run over him and look the other way"

"Don't get into his bad books, stay away"

"Master's raid, no warranty Pain 100% guarantee"

It hurts, sir Please don't hit

Sir, I'm going to Sabarimala I have taken the 48 days vow

Why? What happened to your devotion when you were peddling drugs?

"He'll even the score and more His blows blast fireworks encore"

"Who is the master? Commander!"

"24 carat gold is he Lion king royalty"

"Move aside Watch his stride"

"Shut the gate, dude"

- Name? - Bharath

- Sibi - Karuppusami

- Dhanus - 'Udaya'

- 'Venkatesh - Stephen'

'Pencil'

Inspection it seems All of you line up to one side

"He will take law into his hand When discipline fails to stand"

"Master's raid will be well planned"

"When he uses his soft voice Obey his rules, dear boys"

"If you defy however slight his cane will hug you tight"

"Don't create a ruckus His warning smile is dangerous"

"Accept your mistake, bro he will then let you go"

Good boy!

"What was that noise, lad? Your nose is bleeding bad"

"Wherever you hide, dude master's eyes will find you"

"Listen to master's advice you'll be wealthy and wise"

"If you act smart anymore time to kneel on the floor"

"Don't stand and stare Don't get caught again, beware"

"Hit him once, you are out cold He will retaliate multifold"

"Don't turn a blind eye to a crime on the roadside"

"Says 'Thirukkural' wisely Don't chicken out and flee"

"My followers devotedly Will be true wholeheartedly"

"Without discrimination of caste, race, religion"

"Apple of our eye is our nation"

"We were patient till now; simply But we will retaliate; world war 3"

"Continents will quake & quiver Nonentities will shake & shiver"

"His entry is power Loud & clear"

"Who is he? Thalapathy"

"24 carat gold is he Lion king royalty"

"Move aside, dude Beast mode"

'Master, my name is Sabari My anna's name is Manikandan'

'My brother stole from a bakery for my sake'

'But they foisted another case-'

'Bhavani, that master is acting too big for his boots'

'He bashed up the wardens'

'He raided the premises and burnt all the drugs, dopes and phones'

'What to do with him now?'

How did a master get to be so gutsy?

Find out who is backing him up

Let's get to work

"Don't stand and stare Don't get caught again, beware"

"Hit him once, you are out cold He will retaliate multifold"

"Won't turn a blind eye to a crime on the roadside"

My dear angels!

Can you give us a hand?

"Without discrimination of caste, race, religion"

"Apple of our eye is our nation"

"We were patient till now; seriously Reign of terror; world war 3"

"Continents will quake & quiver Nonentities will shake & shiver"

"Master spells power"

Take your hands off

"24 carat gold is he Lion king royalty"

"Move aside, dude Beast mode"

Master, you had your way, eh?

You can trim my hair or tonsure my head

Beware of my leader Undiyal Try your tricks on him

'Undiyal, listen to me'

- Don't go there, go to your block - Shut up, warden

- Vanakkam, boss - Morning, bro

Who had the guts to lay a finger on our hair?

Is there a rule on the long and short of it?

Master, do you know the rules or not?

You are having a free hand with everyone's heads

Master

Let go of me, master

You don't know whom you're pitting your wits against

You will regret what you're doing

"Master's raid Pain post paid"

"Don't get into strife Run for your life"

"When he uses his soft voice"

Gawd! You're scaring me!

- Hey Dheena - 'Sir'

Let it be a close cut

"Master raid"

"Don't run over him and look the other way"

"Don't get into his bad books, stay away"

"Master's raid All crimes waylaid"

"Master's raid, da!"

"A-Aa-E-Ee, A-B-C-D This is our time, buddy"

"Bro, good morning Master's raid in full swing"

Next week will be back to square one

You can come back and scrub it again, okay?

Bye, sweetheart

I've never seen such bad nicotine stains at so young an age, JD

Prise open their mouth it's like a cigarette shop!

'I have collected cavity samples from the 6 boys you mentioned'

- How long will it take? - I'll let you know in 1 or 2 days

Thanks, Madhi

He left me with a half shaved moustache and beard

Such a disgrace!

I feel like I am naked!

I'm so mad I feel like sta-

'I feel like stabbing him right now'

When you get your hands dirty enemies will come and go

If we rage like a mad bull against every single enemy, our life will be ruined

Handle him with patience

'Make him run in all 4 directions'

Don't let him sleep

- Torture him mentally - Fine

- 'Hey-' - I'll tackle him

[overlap of angry voices]

'Listen to me I'm telling you boys'

'Listen to me'

'Wait, da'

- What happened? - Sir, I don't know

They just started a brawl and hit each other

Back door is open in A block What to do now?

Go look for the key

Hurry up

Quick, man

Don't let anyone out Lock them up in the class

- Okay, bro - Give me the torch

'You'll get it from me'

Get lost!

Hello, bro

- 'Yes, tell me' - None of our boys are missing I hope

Bro, head count is correct 63

'Not one of them is missing'

'They came from outside for sure'

'Aiyo! It's burning!'

Aiyo!

You're hurting me

Aiyaiyo! Bala

'What happened to you?'

'You messed up my face, right?'

'Go, collect your mess'

'This is just the beginning, master'

Do something, master

'Hit them at least once, master'

Hey master! This is your fate every single minute you are here

Don't think this is the end There's more to come daily

We will escape from here tonight

Try to stop us if you can

'I was on my bike sticking to the kerb side'

Whether he collided by mistake or deliberately targeted me

'Only God knows'

'But his intention is to provoke you'

Only then you'll get angry and show your fist power on a handful of boys

'They will use that as excuse and pack you off from here'

'Don't act rashly on impulse'

Only his leg is fractured Hand is intact, right?

[kabaddi-chatter]

'To love one's own child is common To love someone else's child is divine'

Sorry, da

I couldn't do anything to help you

It's okay, forget it

What can you do?

My fear is those grown up boys are waiting to pounce on us in kabaddi

And we have to play against those beefy buffaloes it seems

In case we lose...

...we'll be 'alti' this entire month

'Alti' means?

Being an errand boy

To be under their beck and call Do all their dirty jobs like a slave

I'll anyway lose

'I am agreeable to being an 'alti' but they insist I should play, master'

I snitched to you, right?

Using kabaddi as an excuse as if it's just a game

'...they plan to bash me up, master'

'Hey Undiyal...!'

Come, da

Look here

Look at me

'I am calling you...dai!'

Coming or shall I lift you and bring you here to play?

More than the aches from blows and kicks

Pain from fear hurts deeper!

Go with courage, da

Go and check what he's doing

Das, he is coming

Tell me, Madhi

You snitched about us to the master, right?

- Face us now - Hey!

I know very well, da

If Bala plays we will win for sure

So you got scared and broke his hand, right?

Had he been here would he have defeated us?

For sure then you would have lost pathetically

Call how many ever, whomever, you want from here to play on your side

I'll call anyone I want but then you can't go back on your word

Call, we won't send you back without breaking all your teeth today!

MAAASTER!

"Clash of wills here"

"You are ready for your bier"

[song from 'Ghilli']

"Kabaddi...kabaddi...do hold your breath"

"Kabaddi...kabaddi...to show your strength"

- Tell me, Madhi - 'I checked the results'

I am sure all 6 of them are above 20 years of age

"Kabaddi...kabaddi...play"

"On your mark, get set full gear Sandalwood paste smeared"

"One foot in the grave, no fear You are ready for your bier"

What are you saying?

Not one of them is less than 18?

100% sure, in those 6 boys no one is younger than 18

"On your mark, get set, ready"

"Bash them up deadly"

Master, at least do you know the name of this game?

'This is not cricket or football'

You must hold your breath and repeat 'kabaddi', you know?

Our rules are different

You can't just touch and run

You must toss your opponent outside the line

What...still want to play?

Come on, da

"Kabaddi...kabaddi...kabaddi...play"

Kabaddi...kabaddi...kabaddi

You're out if you step out of the line

"On your mark, get set, full gear"

"Sandalwood paste smeared here"

'Trying your tricks with us?'

"You are ready for your tomb"

"Your downfall is your doom"

Bingo!

'He got a solid slap'

Knock him down

'He deserves it!'

- Soooper, master - Come...face on

He is hitting us real hard

If you have the guts show it now

Come...come on

Kabaddi...kabaddi...kabaddi

Kabaddi...kabaddi...kabaddi

Lift him

You dare lay a finger on us Just you wait and watch!

Come...come

How dare you break a boy's hand!

This is tit for tat time for you

It hurts, master

[loud cheering]

Kabbadi...kabbadi...kabbadi

"All set to knock you down"

"Lick your defeat with face on the ground"

"On your mark, get set, ready to lose"

"One step to defeat, time for the noose"

"On your mark, get set, dear Sandalwood paste smeared"

"Clash of wills here Be ready to lie on your bier"

Kabaddi...kabaddi

Watch the line

If you dare lay a finger on these boys just once more

"Kabaddi...kabaddi...hold your breath"

"Kabaddi...show your strength"

Master?

Master...?

- What? - Is it okay to talk frankly?

- Camera is recording everything - Go on, doesn't matter

I'll tell you, master

My mother passed away when I was born

My neighbor akka raised me

My father asked that sister if she will sleep with him!

That's why

I threw the grinding stone on his head

Immediately the police put me in jail

'That's when I got trapped with Das anna'

From then on I had to listen only to what Das anna says

Das anna will walk in

He will check who is addicted to drugs

Powder, smoke, booze He will increase the dosage

Which one of you here

...has seen Bhavani?

Bhavani?

Somehow sounds familiar

'Where have I heard this name?'

Master

We have heard this name But none of us have seen him

Das anna is 'be all and end all' here

We must obey him implicitly

'If he asks us to surrender we should do so with our eyes closed'

Otherwise we will be hanged

'They recently hanged 2 boys'

'Didn't you see that, master?'

Do you all want to go home and live with your family?

Or do you want to surrender?

- Go home, master - Be with our family

You have been here for 10 days

We haven't taken to drugs till now

Only now we know our own selves

'Somehow save us from here, master'

If you follow what I say, you can go home and live as you wish

Will you do as I say?

- Yes, master - We will

Whatever you shared with me now will you tell the same to the magistrate?

Of course we will, master

I'll arrange all the formalities to get them out on parole

Thanks, sir

Let the video evidence be with Charu till then

It will reach the magistrate when you say so

Master, you shot some video and cleverly made us confess

You haven't shared your story

Tell us Let's listen

'Ask him, da'

Cat got your tongue, huh?

- Tell us - Tell us, master

'Please share your story, master'

We are asking, right? Please tell us

Don't ask for trouble Trust my voice of experience!

Wait, they are very eager to hear

I'll be happy to share Let them enjoy

I was in college then

'I think it was my final year'

A new teacher joined our college

Her name was Malar

Unbelievable one in a million 'Love'

All of a sudden that girl I loved

...met with an accident

'She forgot her past'

She didn't even know who I was

She even forgot my mad love for her

Fate made me attend her wedding present a bouquet with my own hands!

After tha-

Dai! Why are all of you sniffling and crying?

Now that girl has totally forgotten our past

Master, isn't that teacher Charu akka?

Hey, this akka is teacher working as my colleague now

That was my college time

Down memory lane Malar teacher

Dai, don't you watch Malayalam movies?

If I don't understand the language

- I won't watch - Okay

Getting late All of you leave

Class tomorrow morning as usual

Okay, master Bye, master

How much longer will you quote a film story if someone asks you about your past life?

Fool yourself in the bargain and trick others too?

Which is a film story?

Don't act

What you narrated was Malayalam film 'Premam'

Copy cats! They stole my story and it is released, huh?

One track mind on plagiarism, huh?

Okay, what do you want to know?

Tell me

Why did you start drinking?

Every drunkard will have a story

Why go into it now?

If I tell you my reason

...a handful of them will follow my footsteps

Is that necessary? Isn't it wrong?

Okay...okay

I won't tell you now why I got into this habit

If you like I'll tell you why I quit, shall I?

"When we see those eyes of his won't love automatically bloom in us?"

"When we go close to him especially won't our mind skip like a deer joyfully?"

"Residing in her heart all the time His style, his stride so sublime"

"Featuring in her dreams always 24x7 is his charming dear face"

"He is Mr Handsome truly He is our Master, one and only"

"His smile, not too much, not too less"

"His charisma beams through in excess"

"His heart is soft as a flower Youthfulness is his signature"

"I pity our girls for sure"

"His smile is like a sparkler He's good natured forever"

"This master with his class covers one and all en masse"

"If his fire work-glance falls on you even a failed heart will pass too"

"He is single, our news a fact This is your chance to act"

"When we see those eyes of his won't love naturally blossom in us?"

"When we go close to him especially won't our mind skip like a deer joyfully?"

JD is an orphan

Just grew like a wild tree

Only after joining this college

'...he met a professor'

'His friendship and care changed JD's life altogether'

V.C.Selvam!

But unfortunately he had a health issue

'He got admitted in a hospital to get treated-'

That really shattered JD

After that he was unable to sleep

'That damn alcohol took over him'

"Residing in her heart all the time His style, his stride so divine"

"Featuring in her dreams always 24x7 is his endearing dear face"

"He is Mr Handsome truly He is our Master, one and only"

"His smile, not too much, not too less"

"His charisma beams through in excess"

"Friendly gaze he sweeps Calm and collected he speaks"

"No holds barred at all All of them flip and fall"

"Magnetic personality Quick & slick, sharp is he"

"Our master is always Top in all ways"

"Some kind of innate power he displays Endearing temerity always in place"

"If he stands solo; which Miss won't yearn to be his Mrs?"

"When we see those eyes of his won't love naturally blossom in us?"

What-?

Please move

Hey!

Come on

Tell me, Charu

Sir, don't know who they are

'2 or 3 boys are chasing me'

Charu, where are you? Which area?

In Triplicane, Murugan temple

Road opposite Murugan temple

Charu?

Charu...?

Follow me

Damn!

'They started chasing me when I was on my way to the magistrate's house'

I don't know what to do or where to go

Charu, don't be scared

'I will send our boys'

Go inside some shop there

'Enter a shop to be safe'

[TV] 'Thank you for calling, Parandhaman'

- I've come into a shop, sir - Turn on the speaker

What do you need?

'Bro, 1 minute please Listen to what I have to say'

'Let this girl hide in your shop for a while'

I'll send my men, please

My business will get affected Don't involve me, clear out

Aren't you a fiery blooded youth?

'Speak boldly'

Bro, I'll take care

- 'You don't worry' - Thank you, anna

Come here, dear

- Did a girl come in here? - No

"My dark and bold beau why was he Uncle Scrooge?"

"He made my heart soft and cottony quake with desire; explode in rhapsody"

"Tell me the auspicious time when wedding bells will chime?"

[song from 'Pudhu Nellu Pudhu Naathu']

- Master, they are teasing m- - Sshhhhhhhhhh!

"He made my heart soft and cottony quake with desire; explode in rhapsody"

'I told you no one came in here'

'Bro, where are you going in?'

'Listen'

'He already told you no one is here'

Oldie, shut up

Give it of your own accord

Or else just 2 punches I'll smash your face

If I have to grab it from you-

- Dai...dai - Wait, master

This face looks familiar

'Akka'

'Turn your phone towards him'

Hey Undiyal...!

'Hey Button, my dear friend!'

Undiyal, da

What are you doing in this video call?

Dai, the girl you are chasing is my akka

- 'Your sister? - Yes, da'

I didn't know that

I was asked to finish her That's way we chased her

But tell me, why are you chasing her?

- What is that? - She has a camera

I believe she has a camera

Ask her to give it and we'll leave

Akka, give him what he wants

We will deal with this differently

'Okay?'

'Just give it, akka'

"My eyes can't close at night without leaning on your chest in delight"

'Hey Button'

I told you she's my akka I didn't hear your apology?

- Apologize to her - Sorry, akka

'Hey! You boys too'

Sorry, akka

Glad you are that scared of me!

Master, end of incident Akka safe from any accident

You talk to her I'll wait there

Charu, leave that place immediately

"Trust us even if we are teeny For you, we get our hands dirty"

"We can steal a weapon in jail Chase you, hot on your trail"

"Chew a gum for flavor Take the boys you favor"

Dai, who are all of you?

What are you doing?

Look

What is this tattoo?

This branding?

When boys are sent to this Home

Das anna will pick up the sharp ones and train us

When we get released, he will tattoo our hand with this Tamil letter 'pa'

If we show this tattoo in the Mess, we can eat to our stomach's content

If you are older, you'll get plenty of booze and cigarettes

You can get clothes for free from their textile shop

They will even get you dope from a pharmacy

But the hitch is

Every now and then, they will make us surrender for a crime

Not to get back into the old bad ways, I'm staying aloof

'We have heard this name But none of us have seen him'

'Das anna is 'be all and end all' here'

'We must obey him implicitly'

- Is it a newly released film? - 'No one can defy him'

'He asks us to surrender we should, with our eyes closed'

How did you lose track of her?

Don't know how, Bhavani I sent only professionals

- Somehow they messed up- - Shut up!

What do we do with this, bro?

It has a card inside which stores whatever we shoot or click

Break that card alone and keep the camera at my place

Okay

When are they announcing the results?

Heard it's Monday or Tuesday

You'll anyway win unopposed

Why should you be tense?

- I can enjoy, right? - Yes, then what?

Sit here

Do you know this ostrich?

A bird with a long neck like this

Have you seen its egg? It will be this big

So big in size

But only that ostrich will know the pain of hatching such an egg!

Will you sit here even after I've explained to you?

No, Bava

- Get lost! - No, Bhavani

Bhavani, boys want a booze party

You won't anyway drink

At least for them-

Drink to dig your own grave

- Go ahead - Thanks a lot, Bhavani

- 'Goodnight, Bava' - Goodnight

Somehow you made me show you this place

I was staying away from this place

Let's go back, master

Wait, I have a good reason

We'll go soon

'Right, you haven't come here to eat'

- 'What happened to my chicken 'pakoda'? - Narayana, serve him fast'

I thought you were inviting me for a candle light dinner

Last time I came here, there was no power

They had lit only candles

Okay, relax

Don't look at this place

I heard the food here is super

'Get a token for the meals'

'Madam, you too'

I thought we'll have some privacy

Close your eyes and show me your right hand

- Why? - Show, I'll tell you

You shouldn't open your eyes till I tell you

'Open now'

That boy's hand in the salon had this same mark

Show this over there

Ask for 'meals' token

Why should I-

All for a good reason Go and show your hand

Who the hell is he?

'We don't differentiate or discriminate'

'Whoever has a Tamil letter 'pa' tattooed on their hands...'

...we give them whatever they ask

Bhavani's boys will take care of the rest

What is this for?

Still some balance left in my bucket list!

"Let the drums beat; no restraint Let the party rock; no constraint"

"Let our army smash and slam Our earth will quake with the wham"

"My hands will never miss a beat when I beat the drum ever so neat"

"Even the dormant nerve will dance hearing my drum's resonance"

'Beat it!'

"Till the sun rises to a new day let the ground shake and sway"

"Till the game is won, job is done slow down but have your fun"

"Even the Lord of Death Yama will die if he glares with his razor sharp eye"

'Hey boy!'

"Light the camphor for our Lord He is possessed by our demi-god"

"Look high and low diligently Every nook & corner and alley"

"There is no other big gun to defy Or create a ruckus and vilify"

'Bhavani!'

That master is churning in my mind

Tell him to kill that master tomorrow before day break

Why wait till tomorrow morning? We can close his chapter right now

Shut your gob Just do what I say

"Let the force of his punching fist make the drumhead rip and split"

"Let 'sound' listen to the thump and lo! Announce who struck the blow"

'You there!'

"Let the force of his punching fist make the drumhead rip and split"

"Let 'sound' listen to the thump and lo! Announce who struck the blow"

"Shaking his stupor, without a doubt he is all set to rip your gut out"

"To hang you upside down and skin you alive is his vow"

'Master...!'

"Let the drums roll; no restraint Let festivities begin; no constraint"

"Let our army smash and slam Our earth will quake with the wham"

"My hands will never miss a beat when I beat the drum; it's a royal treat"

"Even the dormant nerve will dance hearing my drum's resonance"

'Rock & roll'

"Till the sun rises to a new day let the ground shake and sway"

Give me Dinkie Dow if you have

I don't stock drugs

"Even the Lord of Death Yama will die if he glares with his razor sharp eye"

'Hey boy'

"Light the camphor for our Lord He is possessed by our demi-god"

"Got the man with the plan right here"

"Bringin' swag with the man right here"

Forward all the videos to the police department

I'll bring the boys to the Magistrate directly

Okay

Master

This is Bhavani anna's truck

I've heard he comes here often

Let's go there

Aiyaiyo! Are you joking, master?

I am not coming You go if you want

"What existed on earth even before your birth"

"Even you can't unearth"

"What happens after our death? No clue of the aftermath"

"As long as we live, to the maximum let's seize the moment, Carpe Diem"

"What will we lose in the bargain?"

"What will we lose and not gain?"

[song from 'Navarathiri']

"A whole night of merry-making"

"The day spent in sleep overtaking"

"This is the world we rejoice Reveling in unforbidden joys"

You move I'll stab you

Walk straight ahead

"If He considered it a sin"

Knock, da

"Will God create man and woman?"

To top it all a secret code!

"Then why would He tempt them anyway with a grapevine on the way?"

If any hand reaches out to his weapon

He will end up a corpse

Kneel, man

- Kneel down - Switch off the song

Damn, switch it off!

Who is Bhavani here?

Huh?

Which one of you here has seen Bhavani?

What kind of sissy name is that...Bhavani?

Was he lying on his stomach as a baby when he was named?

Phew!

Let me make it clear once more

If any of you do something stupid trying to retaliate

I'll sign on your man's Adam's apple, got it?

'Try your luck flinging another bottle?'

That means

You know Bhavani very well

Will you go and repeat this to him verbatim?

Bhavani...Bhavani

Bhavani...Bhavani

A man walked in right royally knowing it is your den, Bhavani

Repeat, da

No, you tell me I'll convey it

No, you are scared

'Listen, I might as well tell all of you'

The day you killed those 2 boys in the Observation Home and hung them

I hung my head in guilt and died

I'm least bothered about myself hereafter

Branding those juveniles with a tattoo and making them do your dirty work

I've put a full stop to it

From now on, anyone wants to do anything using the boys as lambs for the slaughter

...has to kill me and then go ahead but that has a slight hitch

I will kill minimum 10 of you and only then breathe my last

Be it Bhavani or Banumathi!!

Will you go and tell him word by word?

Come, get up

Close the door

Who threw that bottle at me, da?

Come here

No, Bhavani

I aimed it at him

The pen will fall down and you can escape I thought

'But it missed and-'

Hey! Lazy lout Open the door

- 'Open the door - Madcap!'

- Open the door, da - What false bravado!

Son of a scumbag! Open it, damn you

Where did you go? Open now, I'll kill you

'Hey! Open'

'How dare you lay a hand on Bhavani when I'm here?'

- Kottamuthu - Come now

- Hey Kottamuthu - What did you think of us?

Bro is calling you

Come here

- What are you doing? - He locked us in

He was holding a knife to my neck for an hour

WTH were you doing then?

Bhavani, that wasn't a knife

- It was a pen - You knew it, huh?

How will he open the door if you yell after he has gone?

Shall we pen him a letter?

'Sir, please open the door'

Don't hit me, Bhavani

Who can draw very well here?

Master, he is our best artist

He's the madcap who doodles foul stuff all over the toilet and the walls, master

'Hi master'

I believe you came to my den

Threatened a man with a pen and conveyed an important message to Bhavani

I am that Bhavani

'Vanakkam'

If you destroy all that I own, textile shop, hotel, wine shop

What the hell will he do? He is himself a criminal

'You assumed I won't go to the police, right?'

Your assumption is 100% right

But thinking you'll make a fool of me was wrong

'I enquired about you'

I believe you have a big gang of ardent fan followers

'Which one of them can I finish off? I asked my boys their choice'

They said we can have a jolly time killing them all without discrimination

Let me give you a task Take a pen and paper'

List out your favorites in alphabetical order

Hey Bhavani!

Don't ignore girls and kids thinking I'll be soft on them

Include their names too definitely

'Write and call each one of them'

And then...master?

- Bro...? - What happened?

Give me the phone

'Hello...?'

- Why did he hang up on me? - 'Must have got scared'

Got very emotional I guess

Why do emotional men get so hyper and angry?

Pick...pick...pick up my call

[phone ringing]

Pick up

- Hi, dude - Where are you?

I'm just leaving my office

- You are safe? - Yes, what's the problem?

'Listen to me Don't step out'

What is the proble-

Come on, pick up

- Sir? - WHERE ARE YOU?

- Shut u- - 'You are safe, right?'

- 'Yes, sir, what happened?' - Listen

Check if our batch students are safe, okay?

'Madhi, where is Srinath?'

'He is here, JD'

- What is it? - 'Stay at home, don't go out'

'Everything safe?'

JD called me

'He was so hassled'

'He told us not to step out'

Guys, don't step out of your house Most important, avoid road travel

'In case you are out, go to any house or shop nearby or any safe place'

'JD sir called just now I think there's a major problem'

'If you are safe'

For heaven's sake text our entire group

Park the bike

'Almost everyone in the group texted they are safe'

But we couldn't reach only Bhargav and Savitha, sir

Don't swerve too much to the right

Careful!

Hello?

I am safe-

Vanathi, where are you?

In a mall nearby What happened?

- Is Prem with you? - 'Yes, da'

He has gone to fetch my purse from the car-

'VANATHI, WHAT IS IT?'

'What happened, Vanathi?'

'VANATHI, TALK TO ME'

VANATHI

- 'Where are you, da?' - Theater, why, sir?

- Are you alright? - What happened?

SIR...!

SRI DAI!

SIR!

Hey!

Hey! Get out

- What happened? - Savitha, go

'Bhargav'

BHARGAV!

'Bhargav...!'

'SIR!'

Sir...!

Bhargav is dead, sir

"Got the man with the plan right here"

"Bringin' swag with the-"

Master

How many wickets down?

'According to the News I got'

2 wickets down 2 retired hurt

If you are still stubborn enough to hang out with that gang

...you'll lose 4 wickets daily

'I have never forgiven anyone who has messed with me till now'

This is my first time and I am forgiving you

Just quit your job, do an 'about turn' and disappear from this town

'Otherwise one who escaped today will die tomorrow and repeat'

It will go on repeat mode

They will keep falling like ninepins Thank you and good bye

Hey...hey! Master...master

'The main reason I called you'

I didn't lie face down when I was named it seems

I was on my back it was clear as a bell!

- Hey - 'Aahn'

- DAI! - 'Hahn?'

I'll dice you, dry and pickle you to pieces

Let's lock horns!

Take care of them just for today

I'll be back soon

Don't worry, you go

'I will ensure the safety of these boys'

- Aiyo! Let go of me, bro - Shut up, get into the truck

- Bro, let go of me - Hit you

Where are you taking me?

- I'm not coming, bro - Das!

Hey! Come here

Das, he's throwing a tantrum

- Lift him - Don't force me, bro

- No...no - Just listen

Save me, warden

Don't do this, Das

Save us somehow, warden

- Don't take them - Let me go, bro

Move it

'Hey Das! Where are you taking the boys?'

[mobile ringing]

"Bringin' swag with the man right here"

'Hello, sir I'm Thulukanam speaking'

'Das and his boys have locked us in here'

'He has taken the boys who turned approvers'

'In a truck somewhere, sir'

'We don't know what to do Please come soon, sir'

[mobile ringing]

Yes, Vanathi

'This is not the end of the world for us'

You have gone out of your way for these boys, enough

'I have informed the higher authorities They said they will be here soon'

"He was chewing betel leaves in bliss I punched his nose without a miss"

"You should have seen blood gush out This Amaran's heart is gold, no doubt"

[Singing a song from 'Amaran']

"Just utter the name 'Amaran', bro soda bottles will fly at our foe"

I don't care two hoots about the repercussion

I'll take full blame Beat the hell out of them

Hold this

"It's a lilting tune anyone can hum"

"Amaran is a seasoned singer awesome"

"He was chewing betel leaves in bliss I punched his nose without a miss"

"Should have seen his nose bleed This Amaran's heart is gold indee-"

Master...master, da

Back again?

Hey! Wait...wait

Plan to hit us?

Go ahead

Come here

Think you've achieved something great in life

Shout all you want

Dai!

Bhargav

He is dead, da

Bhargav created much more trouble in college than all of you put together

He is dead now

If a real rowdy reforms and just when he wants to lead a good life, if he dies-

Do you know it is the height of cruelty?

The faith people around him have, to turn over a new leaf will vanish

Oh my gawd!

Master has started preaching to us

Ignore them, bro

Why do you treat them on an equal footing with you?

These mongrels won't reform even if they die!

Yov! Who will reform?

When have we treated him with respect?

Or given him time, place or an opportunity to reform?

Undiyal, Odacha Kadalai, Bottle Mani, Soda Sekar, what kind of names?

Then how will they remember their family or tender love and care?

Family and society alienate them

If everybody has exiled him how will he reform?

Come here, da

What?

1st crime by many boys here is based on emotion quotient

Affection, betrayal, anger, or a rush of adrenalin

Each with a reason

But after the first time

You know what instigates you to commit every crime you pile on to your account?

Intoxication!

I can bet on this, da

All other crimes after your 1st was committed losing control of your senses

Didn't you booze? Didn't you have a ball?

Oh! Yes, sir

Open your warped mind!

Only a drunkard can talk of how it ruined his family

Only because of my addiction

2 boys lost their lives I got that into my thick head

I quit drinking

'Chee! Don't be a drama king, master!'

Am I brewing liquor at home?

Blaming the buyer instead of the seller!

That's exactly what I'm saying This intoxication is a political game

You are not yet 18 years You can't watch this Adult film

A security guard stands out to push you out, right?

Why is no one standing guard outside a wine shop?

How do 10 -15 year olds get hold of a booze bottle and cigarette?

Politics

Bhavani is moving his pawn and playing this kind of politics

When the law is against child labor

...that beast is forcing the same boys into nefarious activities unwillingly

What is this?

What is it?

Like bribing you to vote and you end up with an inked finger

He gives you freebies and brands you with a tattoo

He has bathed you in basic amenities providing free food and clothing

Good lord!

Enough of this atrocity

You have packed those boys who believed they have a good future into that truck

Don't know if they will hang from a fan or be run over by a tyre

But

I will save them

Every single one of them

What did he say, da?

He will kill all those who like me?

Hey!

[ironical laughter]

There are zillions outside who like me Mind, body, heart and soul, da

Ask him to try his luck

'Bro, Bhavani has loaded the documents, money bags of his 'benamis' in his lorries'

'He is planning to cross the border tonight'

'The boys are in one of the trucks, bro'

Bhavani

All 40 lorries have crossed the border

Expected anytime now

Those boys?

Das is bringing them in the container

Go

Finish her off!

Vanathi...Vanathi

Run over her

Vanathi

Vanathi, take the wheel

Come...come

Bang his car and kill them

Come...come

'Stop...stop'

If those 15 boys turn approvers whom will they point their fingers at?

Das of course

They have never met you, Bhavani

What if Das turns approver?

Your name, Bhavani

Then kill Das

Go

Go, da

Do you want him to kill me out of your sight?

Your words came to my mind

'I will give my life for you'

Give it now

I thought of you as my own elder brother

I regarded you as my anna

Even I thought of you as my very own younger brother

'What do you want me to do?'

Where are the boys?

Where are they, da?

Hey! Go and check the container

Go...move it

Let's see who wins You or me?

Das, listen to me

Listen to me JUST LISTEN!

Hear me out

Oral statement by all those boys point fingers accusingly only at you

They don't even know the name Bhavani

Bhavani knows that too

Give it serious thought

Will he kill all the boys?

Or kill the one they are pointing fingers at, which is YOU?

In one swift blow-

That is not my intention

Let's stop with the lives already lost

I'm saying this like a broken record

Bhavani is clever

He won't kill the boys His target is YOU

Listen to me once Only this time

Ask him if you can bring the boys in front of him he will say 'no'

Continue to ask repeatedly

You'll know the true colors of Bhavani

If this doesn't happen-

I am all yours to kill

"Oooooh yeah"

"Master"

"They call me...master"

"You know me...master"

"I am master the blaster"

"Ooooooh yeah!"

"Master"

"They call me...master"

Welcome, master

This is the first time Real face to face, right?

Loaded with emotion, huh?

My dear master

Bhavani isn't just a name

It's a kingdom I created for myself

You can't create a world record with your overnight lesson

If he was sharing his pearls of wisdom what about the mud between your ears?

You carried that boy on your waist?

Did you think they are kids?

They are killers of the worst kind

I've already given you too much time

Still I'll give you 2 minutes

If you can ki-

Master, why did you hit me in mid speech?

Didn't you ask for it?

Come

Is this all the force you can muster?

Master

[fired up laughter]

Master!

Get up, master

Job done and dusted

'Lord, pardon this sinner'

Don't!

Hey! I am fighting here for your sake

So your hands don't grip a knife once more

Your mind

Your mind should not go back to its old way

I am fighting your cause

Not one of you

Not even one of you should raise your hand

Step back

MOVE BACK!

"O master, come to my den If you don't, I'll force you then"

[singing a popular song from 'Bommalattam']

"In my own hot spot you bet I'm a big shot"

'How was it?'

You're teaching a lesson even when you're about to die

Is this your last lesson, master?

'Come'

Shall we have it this way?

Show me your fist power

[whistling]

- Hey...hey - Master

- Take the boys to the truck - Okay, master

Hey Das

'Vaathi...!'

"Come, my dear dude Raw banana 'bajji' for you"

"I will tear your body to tatters Fry and serve as golden fritters"

[song from the film 'Thangaikor Geetham']

"I will tear your body in a jiffy Fry and serve as bajji"

Master...master...wait

Sit down

Master

A problem won't be solved by killing a person

I asked a man when I was just 17

This is the same request I'm asking you

Let me live

I will do anything for you

I won't harm those boys

You are the one who made those innocent children criminals

One-

Only 1 year

You were let into that Observation Home and you've progressed so much in life

If you are punished and sent to jail imagine what you'll do to this town

I'll get into politics

I'll start a party

Will you join me?

Master

What?

Sssshhhhhh!

[appeased laughter]

Job done, dusted, dunzo!

[victorious laughter]

"Let me sing a 'kutti' story Pay attention, listen to me"

"If you want, take it or else no need tension, leave it, baby"

"Life is very short, nanba"

- Master - Who is that?

The boys are in the truck, master

Come here Sit down

Sit

Shall I surrender instead of you?

Won't you understand till the very end?

Each person has to endure the punishment according to his crime

Madcap!

I feel I should do something for you

Tell me if you have a family I'll take care of them till you're back

I overheard the children in the reformatory saying you loved a girl it seems

A girl from an affluent family Already engaged to someone

Shall I go and talk to her?

Maybe I can share my epic story!

Listen, my dear boy

My name was not JD then

Jack Daniels

People called me 'Jack'

I used to draw well

Good at a game of cards

In such a game we were lucky My friend and I won 2 tickets

You would have seen everyone run to catch a bus or train

But imagine we ran and caught a ship about to leave the dock

Hahn?

That's where I set eyes on her for the very 1st time

Her name was Rose

What did you say her name was?

Rose

Rose...Jack

Listen to my love story

After I fell head over heels in love with her, I found out

...she's already engaged

After that, as we were sailing smoothly

The ship hit an iceberg on the way?

How do you know that?

I'll wait outside, master

- Listen to my full epic love story - No need, it's okay, master

'Since manipulation of boys into crimes by anti social elements was proved'

'With the aid of proper evidence'

'That specific Govt Reformatory was shut down permanently'

'Of the 63 inmates, those above 18 were sent to Central Prison'

'And those below 18 were sent to other Govt reformatories'

Your fingerprint over there

Go inside

What is the crime you are serving term for?

Baby face, partner Must be a gigolo

Look at his face Like a parcel folded into four

Juveniles of Nagercoil in that Bhavani case

I heard it was 7 of them Only 6 are here

Baby face is here Handsome face is missing

Where is your master?

Must have been sent to Vellore jail

It's even more convenient, partner

We go to Vellore in 10 days We'll finish him there

Then we will meet your master in Vellore

Transfer only after 10 days, huh?

- Are you here till then? - Why?

Drag that 'beedi' deep into your lungs

This is the last 'beedi' you'll smoke

Over dramatic punch line!

You're teaching ME about the 'prisoner'!!

You would have seen notorious prisoners

But guess who is coming now

MASTER

"Master coming!"

"Move aside!"

"Be safe and safeguarded!"

subtitled by rekhs assisted by harini

"The second our commander steps in it's like an atom bomb exploding"

"Master coming!"

"Move aside!"

'Rock & roll!'

"Deliberately if you make trouble"

"It will boomerang on you centuple"

"If you jeer or sneer at us"

"Mind you, you'll be limbless"

Aiyo!

"Tell topsy turvy Yell curvy scurvy"

"Tear them to tatters Scare them to scatter"

Aiyo!

"Tear them to tatters Scare them to scatter"
