Original subtitles

Welcome sir

Come, we were just waiting for you

Karthik has sent you a gift

It's over, he's dead

'A few months before...'

Hello, I'm out... I'm coming in

Hi viewers, welcome back to 'Start Camera, Action'

Now we are in the semi-final round, and things have gotten tougher

because every contestant have created...

...an unique short film of its kind on a specific genre

Just before the Ad-break

We all enjoyed watching the short film directed by our contestant Karthik

Hey, where the hell you've been? Quick, walk fast

Don't stop, keep walking

Keep moving man!

Before the Ad-break we watched your short film

We have got 4 contestants in this exciting semifinals

And only three of them can reach the finals

One of the contestants has to be eliminated

So Karthik, how are you feeling at this moment?

Alright! I believe you are bit tensed

Let's listen to the comments about your film from our 2 esteemed judges

National award winning director - Mr Mukhil

Blueberry Productions producer - Mr Sundar

Mukhil sir, your comments on Karthik's film

Rubbish movie

'Cold Heart'

Sundar sir, your comments please

Out of all the films I watched here,

This is the best!

It may look rubbish for the experienced director,

But for my eyes it looks great This film is the best

Because of producers like you, Our cinema industry is on it's downfall

Because of directors like you...

commenting every movie as rubbish is the reason for it's downfall

But I'm not a fool like you

I'm a fool to produce your movie

Didn't you beg me to make a movie?

You keep quiet

- Did I knock at your door for a chance? - If talks anymore, you'll get my swears

Sir, please let's talk and sort it out

Sir, I didn't mean that way

Wait for a while, sir

He's getting sacred of me

How dare him call me a fool

Why the hell did you invite me?

- Sir... - Shut up

Shut the camera!

Sir, let's adjust and finish it off

This argument is more than enough for them to show case for 10 episodes

Why should I do this?

You know very well that he is an idiot

Then why did you invite such an idiot?

That lunatic is calling me a fool...

You know very well that he is an idiot

Then why did you invite such an idiot?

If you can give your judgment, we can wrap up the show

Don't irritate me

I came here because your boss invited me But you insulted very well

Ask him to tell the judgment

If you can give your judgment, we can wrap up the show

I'll give my judgment, but make sure you don't telecast the argument we had earlier

No sir! We won't Please come in

I wont speak one more word

Sir, just come on to the stage, we'll take care of the rest

Let's finish it off and leave

We have reached the end of this semi-final round...

...3 of the contestants here would move on to the finals

And the winner would be given a chance to direct a feature film

Our judges will now announce the results

Let him announce

Mukhil sir, who is gonna be eliminated today?

Given an option I would eliminate all 4 of them

But as the situation demands just one elimination...

...Karthik

...I reject you

Winning is just not about being acclaimed by critic or reaching the finals

It's about making a profit

That is why we, producers, only can determine the winning formula

I am telling right away, I am gonna produce his film

Karthik, come by my office tomorrow and collect your advance

I will produce your film

Idiotic semi-finals Nonsense judgement

From today you are a feature film director

It has been a big day

Today on our stage we got a producer for Karthik's debut film

They've killed somebody

Look, what an atrocity!

No one came to help even in middle of the day

I'm already very tensed Just keep quiet

Yesterday I just uttered a few words out of frustration

Believing that he has come all the way to office

There has been reports of your act in almost all newspapers

The boy's uncle is a reporter, hence there is a half page coverage

What to do then?

Karthik? Sir is calling you

Be confident and narrate your story

All the best

A train traveling at high speed

Let's have shots cut at every station track

Then we 'll super impose the title melody sound track here

Train sound...

Now he gets down at the main train station

Goes straight to her house but its locked

He breaks in with full force-

He finds her hanging to death, Right?

- Yes, sir - I know

Finally it boils down to killing the Actor to bag an award

Sir, it's not such an ordinary script

I have a strong message in this movie that reflects...

...and questions the societal problems of the world

After that, who will run behind the law suits?

Look, you have substance

I don't want to make movies on Social revolutions

I want...uh...uh...

I want to make a Gangster movie

On hardcore violence and bloodshed

A movie like Godfather, Scarface and the likes

See like this movies

A similar script! Am even okay if you rip off from these scripts

Come up with a good Gangster script I'll produce your movie

I Guarantee

Correct...no more excuses!

I've decided to make a Gangster movie

- Superb pal... - But not an imaginary story

I am going to meet them...understand them And then make a soulful story

A Realistic movie Based on a True story!

Welding Kumar who got life sentence got murdered

Did you find anything?

These are all that I could find

These are the same old stories Already made in to movies

And they are all dead

I want to know about a gangster who is in on the rise...

...need to meet him, personally, watch him closely, and then write a script

You expect them to write an autobiography and place it in the library

Why are you wasting my time?

You are an experienced reporter

You should be knowing someone

I just cover politics and Lankan issue

Both are one and the same

During your days...

...the 'Cat eyed Actress' was Madhuri, right?

All the gangsters life has the same template

They will kill someone and take his place

In turn someone else will kill him and takes his

How long are you gonna make the same sort of movies?

There is a guy, like never seen in any movie

- An outlaw in Madurai - Rowdy in Madurai?

Great! Who is that?

His name is...

3 years ago, 4 murders were happen in the fruit market at Madurai

- I heard of him, sir! - He is the first accused in that

young, should be in his late thirties

Unable to retrieve his name

Don't worry I will get you the case file

Don't ever use his name

He will find and kill you

He is a psychopath

His name is Sethu

'Assault' Sethu

What's your name?

'Hidden Tiger'

Hey, there is an article about him

Shocking revelation!

That was written by uncle's friend

Right! He is writing it in his pen name as 'Hidden Tiger'

Even he writes it spying on him

I can get you his contact details, but you gotta be careful

You are the one, right?

You could have published my photo, right?

Instead you drew a cartoon

How many of them would have laughed at it?

Do I look funny?

Till now it was working

Anyone else got a light?

That's why snatched this

Do you?

Even if he has, it would be wet by now

Hey, get the tools

Brother, I'll kill him

Why are you in such a hurry to kill?

You have not been around that long, first watch and learn

- One step at a time - Okay, brother

Thank God! All that petrol would be wasted

'Sleeping Truth' by 'Hidden Tiger'

Truth hurts, do you know that?

Especially the truth of peeping into my house will hurt like hell

Hey he may be a psycho

Not may be, he is actually a psycho

I am going to Madurai and making a movie on Sethu's life

All the Madurai talk strikes a bell on someone in our college

'Oorni'

Stop

That lady is my customer

That white shirt man is my customer

That blue T-Shirt guy, he's my customer

Look! He is staring at me

Move aside

He is mine, move along

I said I don't need an auto

Give back my bag

Just shut up and come with me Brother is waiting for you

Hello, I think you have mistaken me

Shut up and come

Just give me my bag I'll leave

He is my guy You got scared?

Were you gonna pee in your pants?

Ganesh you shouldn't have threatened him a lot

How long it's been since college

Should make a grand appearance, right?

Then why all of a sudden to Madurai?

Hey why are you settling down?

Dude, I am your guest

What plan you have come?

Take bath, let's visit the temple and then my shop

Let's have lunch at Amma mess and then you can board the train back home tonight

Oorni, just for a month! Will write a story about Sethu and I'll leave

They are all cold blooded murderers

We can't go close to them

Let them be

You need to take risk in life to succeed

Risk?

I am gonna have a kid in 5 months, that itself makes my mark in the risk factor

Shame on you So, that's your achievement in life?

That is what most men achieve in their life

And that is enough for me

Are you even listening?

Leave my bag

I got this only for you!

All right, forget the night train Leave early tomorrow

Don't you understand It's for your sake

Sethu and his gang are extremely dangerous...

...violent people

There are plenty of subjects untapped in movies

I have a couple of stories Hear me out

Is it true?

Will I actually look good on-screen?

I'm actually a stage performer at school! Not sure of big screens

Will I look good?

Second hero?

- Don't mock me dude - Am serious

Am I a hero material?

You will make me act, right?

Is Sethu that big a deal? Is he impossible to reach?

Is he such a big-wig?

Superb!

We start our movie work first thing tomorrow morning

Start it...and kill it

Get on board

- Who is he? - Friend bro!

Even you're not telling anything bro

Dude, he is Sethu

Don't look at him

In this city, Sethu is a brand

Happy birthday To Sethurayan

Brother, greetings

An underworld don, A political weapon, A Kingmaker

An Establishment by himself

You expect us to not to react?

Sir we didn't start anything

I have just closed down what he started

Sir we didn't start anything They murdered my brother last month

It's tit for tat, now its tallied

- Chopped his hand? - That too in a dreadful way

- Friend bro - Welcome

- He should have been killed 5 years ago - How did it happen?

Rasu

Surround him

Kill him

What happened?

Sethu, are you alright?

Sethu's best ally is Rasu

Sethu's school friend, Now his Right-hand

Been with him since Sethu started

Sethu's prime weapon in field

He will stare at everyone, will hit anyone who stands up to him

A hardcore alcoholic, his only weakness

After Rasu, its Senthil

Half of Madurai is deaf because of his slaps

Dumb but yet a strong weapon

A foodie

Strange for a gangster A teetotaler who doesn't stare at a girl

A family attached gangster

A great devotee

His only weakness...

Soft porn!

A movie a day keeps him awake

A hardcore film buff

After them the next alarming person is Palani

Petty-shop Palani

The public is scared to go even near his shop

Bores the entire crowd to death with his most annoying stories

Mastered the art of killing through story-telling

Been in this area since Sethu's birth

A one-stop-shop for Sethu's history

Some confidence and a whole lot of patience can crack this weapon

Sethu is very dangerous

I can't get close to him directly

He is like a lion Nearing him will kill us

We have got 3 monkeys to near him

Rasu

- What do you want to eat? - Get me some eggs

Senthil

Boys, do check if they'll play all the scenes

Don't waste money

Palani

He shouldn't know we are here to make a film on him

If he gets to know...

We are dead

You took all these days to find that?

I told you that on Day-1

It's takes a lot of work and effort to write Sethu's script

My only support in this dangerous mission is...

The future superstar of Tamil movies, our movie's second hero 'Oorni'

Use this trump card always Let's see how you keep up

- They are calling you, bro - Wait, I'll be back

There are 3 weapons that I can use for my mission

Rasu...Senthil...Palani

So how did Sethu became the Sethu? That's the question

Sethu...I'm waiting!

See in that top rack

I'll take this

Hello, come on...why do you snatch all sarees that I choose?

Mind your words I'll cut your tongue

I've come to take sarees of my choice

Not to snatch the ones chosen by some fool

Dullard

Mind your tongue I'll show you who I am

How dare you call me like that

Please be quiet

Why do you quarrel unnecessarily?

- Please don't quarrel - Mind your business

- Excuse me, your bag is open - Thanks

I remember seeing you somewhere

Me...I am a film director You should've seen me in TV shows

Oh...Ok

We came first...you've to give that saree to us

I saw it first

There are 2 sarees missing

Are you ladies creating a scene and ransacking our store?

What, do we look like petty thieves to you?

Didn't I tell you then let us go for another shop?

But you didn't listen

Let's go

For a month's interest, he'll scold for 3 months

Dude, someone has stolen 2 sarees

Very well, this is what happens to those who cheat me

This happens frequently?

They steal from here and sell it at installments at a lower rate

All those ladies are partners-in-crime

Perfect planning and execution That's their profession

We should show this as a scene in our movie

Hello Ramesh bro, Seems to be very busy nowadays

Came for shopping with my friend

Do you want it?

We'll not go to the court

But we want all our proposition to be sealed

Else, I'll have to take a tougher route

Don't make a fuss about it

Brother, I think it's a good proposition

Probably we can get away with the rice mill

Keep quiet

Let's get this done right away Let's not blew it up

- Okay - Let's finish it

Take everything except the rice mill

And ask your party to pay Rs 4 million instead

My party will give only 3 Million...not 4

Let's finish it

We'll finish the registration process on Wednesday

Sethu, some of your men are crossing their limits

Warn them not to invite trouble

How dare you warn us?

Brother have some beer please

Don't, bro

- You won't drink, brother - He doesn't drink beer

- Shut up - Don't get angry

Here's your cut

Between us, you don't have to be formal

Take it Business is Business

These fools argument get us money

So your father is not active in business now?

Are you taking care of the business now?

Dad is not keeping well

The stab on his intestines has got him down completely

I've quit my job! And taking care of the business completely

Take care of him He was a legend at his time

Dad asked me to inform you something

Mariappan had come to meet dad

Bhupathi's right-hand

Sekar and Ganesh gang have reconciled

They cannot do business when you are alive

Am not sure if that’s the truth

But I could sense someone outside or within us spying you

Be careful!

Why do they keep talking? Won't they get into action?

What he said is correct

Hey go and speak

Yes, I've mediated for that What is your problem now?

Don't buy the trouble yourself

What rubbish are you talking, dullard!

Get lost

Kuruvamma!

She is a beauty

- During childhood Sethu... - First listen to this

I went to her house to convey my wish to marry her

Their parents didn't bother to respect me, I was ashamed

But I said I won't leave home

Until Kuruvamma comes and says she doesn't like me

I am telling you such an important information

Today we don't have porn bits Just leave the place now

What crap is this? Nothing beats that german movie

That's classic Worth an infinite watch

Especially the kitchen scene

Do you have that CD?

That's the best I've ever seen! But they speak in English

But do you have a translated copy of this?

- I'll try - Let's not exchange in open

Keep your CD in my bike I'll watch and keep it back in yours bike

That's the worst deal in history

It was during the sunset Siva strolls along the street

A beautiful girl walks towards him

The moment she comes closer, I realised she is Kuruvamma

That day I scolded her a lot

She poured kerosene on her and was about to burn herself alive

She did that because you scolded her?

- Yes, you're right - Nonsense

So, they say Sethu was imprisoned for 3 years...Do you know?

That's the day she had cooked my brinjal fry

Brinjal fry!

So...is this movie a sequel of yesterday's?

No dude, it's completely a different story

Hey, just turn the bike That's my uncle

If he looks at me, I am done

Isn't this where the Aadukalam movie is screening?

Guys that Japanese movie is excellent

Kept in your bike You do keep if you've got anything new

So your interest is World cinema?

I could see an old lady sitting there

No one is there, but what you see is Kuruvamma

Could you see Sivanesan on this side?

You can't see That's why it's called Hallucination

If we still keep hearing stories from that old man...

...these characters would be part of our life

Enough!

Let's find a solution to all of this

Will you just stop your Kuruvamma story?

I've been asking about Sethu all these days

- Why do you ask about Sethu? - Why?

Did we ever ask why you tell Kuruvamma stories?

Why do you ask us then?

I can't tell anything about Sethu

Take this 100 bucks Close our account

We are never coming back here

Whoever comes here will enquire about Sethu

Even last week, there was someone

He tweaked lot of questions about Sethu

Didn't know why?

Then?

Someone said a reporter wanted to write about Sethu

Then...

He went alone to the fields tied his hands and burnt himself alive

What?

I said he was burnt alive by Sethu's gang

Ruthless killers

How did they know about the reporter?

I told them They gave me 350 bucks

Did you guys ask about Sethu?

No...why do we talk about him? Ruthless killers

Dude, get me a drink

Please, give him one

You are such a waste

We drink here everyday Is that of any use?

That needs some smartness

Tandoori chicken

Goes good with your drink

We sit in the next table everyday

We are neighbours-in-drinks

Matter over

If he eats that chicken, we have befriended him

Is he eating that?

Yes, he is...

That's it

While leaving, he'll thank us

He's coming

Don't mention it No thanks between us

Do you think I can't afford a chicken?

What are you showing off for?

- What's my account balance here? - 5000 bucks or more

He'll settle it He has to

Pith chicken for me?!?!

Smart move!

Senthil is our last hope

Feels like we live to supply porn films to him

Just observe

How are you brother?

You guys are worse than me Just get married soon

Definitely bro!

So how was the Korean movie?

Korean movie? The last one was an African movie, right?

The other day I kept it in your bike

Written 'Vettayadu Vilayadu' movie name in its cover

That day when I waved to you

I thought you are telling 'bye'

Why didn't you tell me about it that day?

That's ok

It's in your back, tell me how it is after watching the movie

Want some Samosa?

Even the last hope flopped

- What film is that? - Some action movie

Her dad forgot and left it on the bike

(Tamil hero Kamal Hassan's movie song)

Stop it Don't tease him

Served hot, have it brother

For all the trauma he went through at least stop teasing him

So, what happens in the climax of the movie?

What have you cooked? Add more spice in it

Okay, bro

- So, couldn't see you last week? - Yeah, had been to a family function

Greetings, bro

Brother...

Have this

Use the first toilet I just cleaned it

Use the first one, I just cleaned it

You should be paying me for using this toilet

Brother, Sethu chapter is closed

Wanna hear the bullet shots?

Sethu looks very different

He has put down a lot of weight, since I last saw him

Come, drag whats left of Sethu

So, all doors are shut What do we do now?

There's a guy called Pandi in Sethu's gang

He visits the brothel everyday Shall we follow him too?

Go back home

Roaming with you lost almost a months business

Can't you guys even clean the shop

You guys celebrate my absence

Utter loudly and bring the customers

Hello...what's happening?

The girl in the Orange clothes is eyeing me for quite some days

- Our area saree bandit - That's okay

I have a brilliant idea

The girl eyeing you, date her

Who...that saree thief?

Just pretend to love her

Why?

Her mom cooks food for Sethu's gang

And her mom want her to be married to Sethu

You mean she is Sethu's would-be

May be!

That's the stupidest idea ever

Sethu doesn't even turn towards her

But she could be the trump card we want to know about Sethu

Mom and Daughter will tell you stories about Sethu

This is the risk that you always boast about

Taking risk is not an issue

She looks okay

Love and work doesn't go along well That's my concern

Too much!

Do you want some bangles?

That sister gave you this

What's that?

It's a letter from that girl...

Things are falling into place, enjoy

Speaking the love lingo

Communicating through eyes

Speaking the love lingo

Communicating through eyes

Coward! He's not attending the call

It's surely Ganesh! Sekar would've picked up the call

Is this a telugu song?

For sure it's Sekar

Who sent you? Tell me

I won't disclose

Look at this terrorist attitude

It's either Sekar or Ganesh...

...want to kill me

You eat only once, eat another idly

I don't have time to investigate

Have this Idly

Don't you see me talking

All you do is feed me with the left overs

Just leave

I make fresh food everyday and you complain

- Have you all eaten? - We all had

Serve him some idly He will eat

Please leave now

Why waste the food on a dead man?

Where were we?

So...someone wants me dead And you won't disclose them

So...the only option is to kill all my enemies

You'll realise only when you die

So you die

Just kill him...and get rid of the body

Sethu, I'll tell the truth What's in it for me?

Just close his mouth...immediately

Push it inside

I am asking you since morning, You didn't utter a word

Now you offer a pity clue and You expect me to listen

And he needs some gift

You just die I know how to find him

Just kill him...and give him a horrifying death

I'll do it

What the hell is this shirt look at the color

And you want to kill someone

For 2 years I've not done anything big Trust me and give this to me! I'll do it

You have just joined You'll have to mature to do it

First, change your shirt You look like a comedian

Just because you waited long, doesn't mean I've to

I'll do it please

Kasi bro, just leave him I'll do it

Rasu bro, do tell him to give me a chance

Leave him, Rasu bro

Early in the morning, in the middle of the house, that too during breakfast

Does it look like a child's play to you both?

Just clean this up

Are you happy now?

Clean that blood

Both of us didn't execute at the end

Police...Police is coming

Let's take it back inside!

Sub-Inspector is here

What do we do now?

- Sir, how about our case? - I'll take care

- Get a chair for sir - Poured something down?

Sethu, did you find the guy who tried to kill you

That's not a plot to kill me It's some other problem

I was incidentally there! That's all

So you didn't catch him?

I told you he didn't come to kill me

You're the Police Find the killer

Coffee?

No thanks, got to leave as I am in duty

Take this money and help me double it

I plan to enroll my son in an Engineering college next year

No one lends money nowadays Bank lends it if you just sign documents

Try your best

One more information

20 days back we were asked to send your file to the Commissioner's office

I am not sure if it's an encounter plan

So, be careful

If it's an encounter, someone will be spying you

I'll inform you if I get any information from my officials

You be careful I'll leave now

- Why did you drop the body, Idiot? - Am I an idiot? You're the one...

Fighting over a dead body in the middle of the house

What's the prayer for?

Prayers won't be effective if shared

But if it happens, we'll come here again and light 2000 lamps

What?

We light 2000 lamps

Off late you are more into romance I guess

Just now our plan is getting executed

I am slowly fetching details about Sethu from her

Be careful Don't play with her too much

Else, I'll have to find you a business here for a living

I am just pretending to be in love with her

Will tell her the truth, once our work is done

What are you doing?

Am gonna go through Sethu's street

Just turn the bike Don't invite problems

What's an issue to go through his streets? He doesn't own the road

Dude, I could see a problem

Which house?

Not sure! I am not familiar with this area

At sight we can definitely find it

That's the one Red benz car is outside

Just take a picture as we pass by

Take my phone

Last week itself I've paid the bills

How could they say we haven't?

He looked at us... Go fast

- Did you take the photograph? - Stupid go

Tomorrow I'll look into this payment

It's a dead end

You didn't tell me

I told you I am not familiar with these streets

For sure, we are dead today

Just be cool

We'll casually return! I'll take care Don't worry

I'll call you back

- Hey, what's up? - Who are you both?

- My name is Karthik - Why are you roaming here?

- We came to visit our friend - Which house?

- Ramakrishnan - Chandrabose

- Ramakrishna Chandrabose - Tell the address clearly

- Near the temple - Near tea shop

You have a bangle shop, right?

Don't roam around here

Get lost

- What's the problem? - Kids...lost their ways

I had an issue with them at the bar

I was embarrassed at my house cause of them

Are they spying on us?

Doesn't seem like that They were scared

One of the guys owns a bangle shop

Even the inspector warned us We can't trust anyone

Let's keep an eye on them

I'll take care

It's a small task anyways

Watch them closely

If you suspect anything, inform us! We'll close it

Okay, bro

Oorni, why did you switch on the TV?

Your parents have gone to Mumbai

Your wife has gone for her pregnancy

So, you and sir have a party everyday

He has come all the way to catch porn movies in the day and drink all night?

I am a Visual Communication student I've come to take photos of Madurai

Oh photos!

Can we see those photos?

We are just going to start it today

So, shall we start then?

Everything is over, I am going to die without seeing my kid

They will watch us now and kill us in the evening

I warned you a million times

My family will miss me

Did you shoot my picture?

What's your plot? Take the film reel out

You had a photogenic posture, that's why

Don't be sarcastic Take the film reel out

I swear you were looking good

I am going to break your camera

Take the reel out first

No film reel! It's digital

Just look at the pictures once

How can you show immediatel?

Don't you have to process the reel? Don't try to fool me

No processing is required!

Look!

If you've told me, I would have posed with the glasses

Can we take one more photo?

Brilliant pictures I've never seen me nicer

You have a gangster like personality

That's exactly what we do all this work

I need a rapid growth in life

I can't wait for years

I've a 4 year old daughter

I want to earn well... Keep the family happy

Then settle down with a small business

Good drinks...and enjoy my life to the fullest

So, how did Sethu become such a big shot?

Do you know any history behind this?

About Sethu brother...

What do you want to know about Sethu?

Ask me, I'll tell you everything

Yes

"When the beauty of the land falls in love"

"The rage of bull is instigated"

"And when the seasonal flowers blossom"

"The legendary bull fights begin"

"The lone lady is enthralled"

"And caught up in the web of love..."

- Is that Sethu? - Yes

I took a big risk and stole it for you

Why do you want this?

When I make a family subject movie, I can use this as reference

- It's a nice dress - New dress

- You bought it or stole it? - Our company only steals Sarees

Policies, huh?

"The seed of love is sown"

"These are too expensive"

"Now we leave it to time"

"For the side it grows"

"When the beauty of the land falls in love"

"The rage of bull is instigated"

"And when the seasonal flowers blossom"

"The legendary bull fights begin"

He too was once a big shot

What are they doing together?

Wastrel keeps company with the wastrels

"While the king is still getting ready"

"The queen could hardly wait"

"As the drama carries on in its own pace"

"The wait has become too unbearable"

"She is caught in her own trap"

"In too deep, happily stuck"

Rain! You! Me! Ilayaraja!

Haiku! Awesome

In a caste dispute-

How dare you talk about her?

No photos, you stupid

"The lone lady is enthralled"

"And caught up in the web of love..."

Is Taj Mahal back drop ok?

Change to some foreign places

Bombay, London, Paris and likes

She wants to visit those places

Is it so?

- What's her name? - Ganga! Daughter's name is Sri Priya

- Love marriage? - Yes

Why do you feel shy for that?

Sethu brother is calling me

Hello...! Tell me, brother

Ya, I'm nearby I'll be there immediately

Sethu himself is calling me

Why?

We are going to kill someone tonight

Who is that? What for?

I am not sure who

But am sure some big person is the target

They usually don't call me for such big assignment

Other day, I stood up for myself this is my returns for that

Is it?

Just wait for 10 minutes I'll be back

Make it fast, I need to hurry

Hey, where have you kept the black box that was in my bag?

It's in the other room, why?

We've got a great opportunity today They are going to kill someone

And this dumbo is also involved in that

And we can listen to that incident live

Be clear! I've lot of clothes to wash still

My Reporter uncle gave me this spy mic

This audio transmitter is to spy on people

I can stick this device to anything Then we can listen to what they speak

Clearly through this receiver from a distance

Clear reception for at least 1KM wide

You sound exactly like a tele shopping sales girl

What are you going to do with this?

We can see photos too?

Photos, songs, movies... Everything

This is amazing

You wanted to show pictures to your wife, right?

Yes

Take it tonight and return it tomorrow

So I'll take it

Thanks bro!

- You'll return it, right? - Hey, you can trust me

Bye

Come fast Let's check

- Hi brother - Come

Sethu brother himself called What's the matter?

You cried for not calling you for big projects, right?

So come and watch a big project

To watch, I dreamt big for tonight Who is the target?

- Sekar - Sekar!

- Who is Sekar? - Sekar is Sethu's rival for decades

We suspected him all these days

We have closed all other suspects

So we are killing Sekar tonight

He is always guarded He is in politics too

He has got an affair with someone living in SS Colony 7th street

Every Friday he settles there

- Do you know this place? - Yeah!

No security Today is Friday

His gang is also cornered

All his guys number would be switched off

So what's the plot?

Three of our men has surrounded the streets

They alerted us when Sekar entered the house

Oh, he is already in the house?

Kasi has studied the house for a while

Then punctured his vehicles And waiting on the backyard to watch him

SS colony is a large area

But I have a friend's house there Let's go and sit in the terrace

Let's start now

We won't get signal if we start now We won't know their next steps

We will leave after them

What's the time now?

12:30! We've half hour to go

Go fill the fuel

- He's going to the main road - Let's go

Sekar brother, important information

They have plotted to kill you tonight

We'll be there in 30 minutes

He's speaking to Sekar

- What are you saying? - You are in SS colony, right?

Yes

There are 3 people watching you from your street corner

What's happening?

You're right

They have flattened your car tires

The back gate is locked too

He has leaked the entire plan

Its a perfect plan! Sorry I got the news late

Just escape somehow

Let the lights and TV be on be careful while you escape

They're watching you from outside

Don't try to bring your guys They're all trapped too

He played a perfect double game

Thought him to be an idiot He's been spying on Sethu

You've just got 30 minutes to escape

This is a mega twist

See, he is leaving Follow him fast

Follow him quick

Brother

No police vehicle It's just an ambulance, you can come

- Can you hear him? - Wait...

Can hear now

Looks like no one is in the house

Break it

Sethu has reached

He fled the house

Sekar has escaped

What were you all doing?

We were alert, no one went out of the house

What about the ambulance?

We thought some emergency case in the neighborhood

He fled by the ambulance

Sekar is a brilliant fellow I guess

He made a fool of Sethu himself, better you take Sekar's as movie

So he fled the place despite all of you

That too in an ambulance

Why is he laughing?

Sekar is brilliant Isn't it Sounder?

We can still catch that ambulance, brother

For what? We've already caught the prey

The plot is not for Sekar

It's for you

Rushing into everything

You want to fly even before you got wings

When we recited the plot to you for the first time, you should have sensed it

You've a lot to learn Sounder

Who is brilliant now? Sethu is a master mind

This is a brilliant scene for my movie

He is just caught red-handed A dumb fellow

What are they gonna do to him?

So you have played double-game on us?

Getting hit

I just agreed to let him know if there is a plot for him

Please believe me, bro You are like my hero

He took care of my monthly family expenses That's why I agreed

I just need to inform the plot that's it Nothing else brother

Listen to me

Pardon me once

Please speak out Rasu brother

I beg you, bro

He just shot him

He killed Sounder

Sethu, we trapped him like a mouse

Sekar, watching Titanic?

Seem like you are doing a research with films these days

Looking handsome

- Looking good? - Believe me, Sethu

I didn't send him to kill you

Just a safety net for me

Why do you build over and over?

He shot Sekar too

Let's leave now I am scared

Die...!

Why do you think I called you all to catch these two silly dastards?

Think well before you plot against me

Take that

Let's go now Come on

Some MP3 player To listen songs

Let's go now

Take these dogs to our farm and Burn them to ashes

Brother, there is a mic stuck on this

There is someone spying you

It should be this dog, Sekar

- I don't think it's him - Then?

This will work only in close proximity

Its no use to him

Also, why did he wait until Sounder called?

He could have fled while you planned this plot

It's someone else close to the house

Only police or reporters use this mic

They are going to kill us now

I told you not to get in to this

I think he might be still listening

Let's go somewhere...please

Wait, let me think

There is no escape

Even the SI warned us

Let's go

Hey!

The idiot at the other end listening

Whoever you is...

Listen carefully

You will be dead in an hour...

...with my own hands

Let's just run from here

Definitely they'll kill us Ruthless killers

My whole life...

Hurry up, there is no time to cry

They might not have suspected us

They will be behind Ganesh and gang

Let's run before it's late We'll leave tonight

Where...where will I go?

I am going to die without even seeing my kid

Don't get scared, we can talk later Let's pack and leave

Come on Oorni Let's go!

They are not breaking the silence

Every one we catch are like terrorists

Why keep bothering them, just kill them

They are here to keep an eye on us

Don't know whether they are police or some other gang

They are police Bro

Look they have got the case file, as well tracked us with a mic

Definitely Police

What are you contemplating bro? Let's kill them quick and go home

Have to take my dad to the hospital in the morning

Ok then you start now, We'll take care

Ok bro, I'll leave now

Please tell them the truth

They will burn us alive if we tell the truth

If you don't are they gonna treat us?

They think we are a policemen Do tell the truth

Look at these spy faces

Okay

Finish them

Get the tools

They will kills us Please tell the truth

What are you guys murmuring? Speak out loud

- We are not police - Then...?

I came here to write a story

What story?

- A movie script - He is a director

Ohh you are a cinema director?

Sethu brother please believe me

A producer found me I came to do research...

...to watch you in person Make your life a movie

What did you say?

Gonna take a movie based on your life story

About my life?

Hence came to write a story here

That's why I spied you

Movie?

Like the one which comes in TV

Reality shows, following criminals

No, It's like Godfather, Scarface, something like that

How can I believe you?

Mahesh is also a good boy

How many times should I tell you?

Good

But the movie duration is less

They are short films

But your story would be a feature film

Big film, right?

If you need some information you should have come directly

Why all these unnecessary spy stuffs, get yourself hurt

You burnt a reporter alive for writing about you

That's why?

He is a reporter who writes the truth

That is very dangerous

You are gonna make a movie

Like Godfather, Scarface

It will be good to see my story in theatres

What you say guys?

Yes brother

Hereafter any information you need, just ask me

Because it's our film

A film about me

Guys...they belong to our gang

Let's Start

Just a minute

No...

Just be casual

- Don't want this? - Nope

Rolling!

You tell, I am feeling uneasy

I can't do that

- At least you narrate - I can't do that

What is this?

You feel different to narrate in front of the camera

I'll get the other phone, we can do a voice recording

That's alright First time before camera...

What should I say?

Today you're big shot When and where did it all started?

Say that

Right from my childhood, my dreams, ambition...

...vision everything is being a Gangster

During my 3rd standard we had a stage drama in our school

Panchali Sabatham

I am Droupathi

Durchathanan removes my saree and Krishna failed to hold my saree

I stood as a shameless goose in front of everyone

All those guys around me laughed at me

I can never accept anyone mocking me

That's when I got powered up and beat them

- No...no - Sethu, let him go

Out of fear, when everyone paves way for us-

You'll feel a high

Once you've felt it, you can never get over it

That's where it all started

From then you beat for every reason...

...and beat every person

School issues, college issues, and area issues...

Ego issues, Issues between two gangs, in this race...

We din't even have time to sleep, we were more into issues...

...problems and fights till a point of time

Most of them turned to rogue because of a love story

Even our life had a twist, because of his love story

During our college days To see your lover in their locality...

...is like a war mission

One day when he went to see his lover, her brother caught us red handed

Who are they?

Finish it quick, they're coming here

Let's leave now You want us to run and hide

- Who is her brother? - The one with the black scarf

Who are you?

You're from Jaihindpuram locality, right?

Yes

What the damn are you doing here?

He came to drool with his sister

I came to beat black and blue if anybody talk rude with us

You think you're a big...

At that time that locality had a big rogue named Murugan

I've never seen him before

What's the problem guys?

These guys have come to meet my sister

I just asked him but he is trying to hit me

Which locality you guys are from? Is it Jaihindpuram?

Yes

Won't your locality have any girls?

We've got lot of women there But we heard there isn't any men here

You...?

He struck Murugan Let's run away

That incident took my name and reputation to next level

Then had a peace talk with murugan group

I apologised and we closed that chapter

But I made a mark on his face

When he sees that mark on mirror he will always remember me

People like us, we never settle

Are you Sethu?

You scarred Murugan's face

Do you think yourself to be a big shot?

Don't mess with me

Hereafter if I get to hear any news about you,

I myself will kill you

Look at his face

We can't live here opposing Shanmugham

So...

- Let's move away now - Did they beat you?

Yes

Sir...come and see this

Both of them are lying dead here, sir

Stay there Don't come close

Is it Murugan?

Murugan as well

My death is not in his hands

I stabbed that rogue to death

There they are, catch them

Move...move away

That's my first execution

But a big and best execution

You become a gangster, only by killing someone

Way of execution and the number of murders

Determines his respect, worth and everything

Every murder is like a medal of honour

So far how many?

You alone did 18

We all together did

- I am 13 - Me 5

I am 4

All together 48

Totally 48 murders

If we would have killed you both, we could have celebrated the half century

What do you say?

Great escape

Then what happened? What happened?

We both were taking each other group members lives

In the name of revenge

Then spending a lot of money to get ourselves out of police cases

Again to earn money getting us involved in,

High interest rates lending, politics, fruit market lease etc...

To safeguard us we kill 4 enemies

In turn they're waiting to kill us

Our job runs like this

We enter the business taking a life, and you have to pay with your life to get out

That's our profession

Should live like a King

With pride and honour

For that to happen, do anything, kill anyone

That's not wrong

This is our policy

Any more questions?

About your Mom and Dad?

My dad died in a mill accident

My sibling died at a young age

One who is sitting there, that's my Mom

She hates my business completely

She said she won't speak, if I don't quit

She told that 12 years ago

Till now haven't spoken a word

My Mom right?

How do you expect then?

Anything else?

Out of all your criminal records,

Interesting fights, kidnaps and murders

If you could elaborate, it will be easy to be shoot as a scene in the movie

Which one we can say, the bus stand incident

Which one?

The political issue for which I was imprisoned

That one he had 4 cuts, but still was alive

So we stomped him by his neck

We had a lorry run over his body

The tall one we killed in the market fight

You mean the love story?

- I gave a sharp blow - Just one stroke he ran away

We get a big cut of our revenue from settling issues

Sekar, tell yourself where will we go?

Why did you arrange for this meeting, what's the matter?

You are a big torture

Fear of the people is the only investment in this

I'll slit you just sit down

Everyone sit down please

Now tell me what's the issue?

He is a drunkard and he has an extra marital affair too

So I won't let my daughter to live with him

Hey...stop

Every case we attend has got a package

A package just to make some noise

A package to hurt others and a separate one to kill

If I go then it's 10 lakhs rupees

If it's Rasu 5 lakhs rupees

If it's Senthil 3 lakhs rupees

How can a woman live with a drunkard?

Only a very few in this world doesn't drink

But that doesn't mean we have to divorce them

- Stop it - Start a fight

- What did you say? - Just shut up

Just stop it Won't you listen you drunkard?

29, 30, 31, 32nd cut can't be shown

This one is to hurt and this one is to kill

Different weapon to kill

What is this?

- Development fund - For which party?

For the winning party

- Chicken gravy... - Eat well

How dare you pour gravy on his hand?

Don't you know what to speak and how to speak

Sethu bro, battery drained Give me 5 minutes

He gave me a Korean movie, amazing one

Don't you know what to speak and how to speak

- Who is this? - Has come from Madras

Here to shoot a movie about Sethu

So he is moving with us

About our Sethu!

All those fights and murders

- Yes - Very good

Put your signature

- I won't even if I die - Here...!

How long you will threaten in the same way?

You have got pistol right?

As per company rules shouldn't use pistols

Just to threaten him, I have watched it in an English film

What they did in the movie?

Let fate decide your chance... er

Let your fate decide how many chances do you need to sign the papers

Let your fate decide how many chances you get to sign the papers

You and your nonsense idea

He may die, if Sethu bro knows this, it will be a mess

Get him quick

One day had a guy caught by his neck,

Started cutting his throat with a blade

The blood was shedding like a fountain for 2 feet

Is it?

This guy will cut with a blade and the bloodshed like a fountain

Who will believe this?

- You don't believe it - No

You don't believe it!

Wanna watch it?

Just catch the neck like this and-

With this blade-

- What happened? - Horrible murder in my dreams

To show you a demo they cut my neck

This is how you clapped in my dream too

I could smell blood even when I brush the teeth

Is it really important to write a gangster story

Don't we have any other stories, maybe on our freedom fighters

Brilliant script is ready

Just need to go and meet the producer

Then we will fix Vijay Sethupathi in the lead role

Then it's the shoot

Thank God Leave the place

Who's knocking there the back door at midnight?

- Go! - You go and have a look

Kayal, why at this odd time?

You still remember my name

Why do you keep weeping?

You didn't bother to meet me

How many calls and SMS

Sorry I was busy at work

Leaving home tomorrow?

Is your work done?

This love was just an act to know about Sethu, is it?

Tell me Karthik,

Did you use me?

Kayal...Kayal

You're right

Yes, I did use you as a bait to get information

But I like you a lot Kayal

I don't want this love, marriage...

No such ideas

Let's be friends

I loved you

I already have other friends

Just concentrate on your work

If you start falling for this love, You will never make a movie

You'll only make it to the theatre with your family

Guys, Sethu brother is calling you

What is the matter?

There is a small party for your farewell

Party!

- Where? - Come

Inside a well? See this setup

How's the setup?

"I am the lion that creates an impression of respect in its every form"

"Dare not to touch me"

"I am a raging bull"

"The city speaks of my name"

"My name, when spelt Spreads an aura of strength"

You've just finished the first draft Lets celebrate

No need

Drown the feelings and enjoy

Have it

Come on

"I’ll hunt you down"

"I’ll beat you straight"

"Every blow will echo through your life That you shatter in every direction"

"Understand the strength of my city united"

"Understand the strength of punishment and violence"

Mom...?

"Spreads an aura of strength"

"The nook and corner of the city respects me"

"Success finds me time and again"

"The respect and fear for strength brings it to me"

"Even the mountains won't reach farther than my fists"

"When I clench them even the volcano calms down"

"Spreads an aura of strength"

"I am the lion that creates an impression of respect in its every form"

"Spreads an aura of strength"

Karthi, you are gonna direct my life as a movie

I am very happy and excited today

How has it come?

Make sure the lead role is played by big stars

Cast Super Star, it'll be unbeatable

They won't even let us near his street

Kamal Hasan will suit this character

I am Okay! But he should say okay right

Sister you tell who can be in the lead role?

She knows a lot about the movies, you suggest

Tell whom do you want to act in the lead role?

Who will be apt for this story Rajini, Kamal, Ajit or Vijay?

You choose, we'll bring them

If the story is about Sethu, then why someone else should act?

He himself can act He looks like a hero only

Don't be sarcastic Kayal

What's wrong in her comment? Sethu has got all the features

He looks like our old hero Jaychandran

Why are they laughing?

I am not sarcastic Some Dick and Harry are acting,

Why can't you?

By doing this you can become famous

Then this stardom will be easy to get on to politics

Then all your criminal cases can be dropped

We have to grow up quickly to the next level

No one thought about it Even I didn’t think about it

What you say Karthik?

I will act as a hero in our film

Brother! Don't make fun of it

I am not cracking jokes Karthik

I am the Hero in our film

She's crazy, don't take her seriously

- Acting is not- - Stop it

I didn’t ask your permission,

I'm telling you

I film I hero

Okay?

Beat the drum

Good morning!

Have blabbered a lot in the night

Don't keep those in your mind

Thank God!

I was afraid thinking that to be serious

It's okay Come inside

I have got a guest at my home

He wants to meet you Please come

Shall we go?

- Have they come? - Yes

Sethu bro, is he the director?

He is the director

Sir is our guest

Sir...?

Have discussed everything with Sir

The hero in the movie that you gonna direct in his production

...will be me

- What sir? - For sure!

I am so proud to introduce you to the film industry

What's wrong in him playing the lead role?

He looks good like Jayachandran

This is my life

My passion and Dream

Who the damn is he?

What the hell he knows about acting?

Acting is an art

Who the damn is he to perform art?

Cinema is not a whore house where anyone with money can come in

With the time spent on an emotional speech, better do think about the solution

I don't have an option Have to escape tonight

How?

Do go by the cross streets Be careful and take care

- Don't get caught - Sorry, dude

I have troubled you a lot

I can manage these troubles

But I can't tolerate seeing Sethu as a Hero

- See you dude - Bye

I bought it just for you

Super!

Did you get caught?

I was emotionally driven, thinking that we will meet after many years

You left during the movie title card

And you are back before the movie hero's introduction

Hey look at our hero's introduction now

Sethu, please leave me

Leave me Sethu please

Sethu bro, please let him go

Let me go, please

Do I look like a Joker?

How long would it take for me to nail you in the coffin?

All the fear you had looking at me from a distance,

Fear goes away once I made you part of the gang

Either direct a film with me as a hero

Otherwise just sit there and think about your career

You have got only 2 options

Understood?

Don't cry

Don't cry dude

Leave me

Karthi

Is it the director?

You got hurt

Are you crying?

Don't get upset This is just the beginning

Irony in cinema is...

To make the audience laugh, the director has to cry

It's been 35 years since I started crying

What are you looking at?

40 years before, I came to chennai with a passion for cinema

5 years, I still hadn't got a start

Then 10 years I worked as an assistant and experienced cinema

Everyone gets an opportunity

It's like an Angel

If you respect it, It comes again and again

But if you disrespect it, It will never come back

The new directors want to be Sathyajitray on their debut film

They wont compromise for a single thing

They create problems on every small issue

Me too of same category

My producer wanted his cousins to be casted in the movie

I said no and stood by

I said go and walked out stating I will get 1000 more producers

But till now I haven't met...

...one among the thousands

I will just get hold of people coming to my shop

And start telling them stories in the name of Sivanesan and Kuruvamma

But they don't exist

That's my story Kuruvamma

If it would have got released in that period, It would have been a massive hit

Should have been like Balachander and Bharathiraja

Now I am 64 years old

Never Uttered the word 'Action and Cut'

Are you scared that you'll end up like me

According to you I might have lost,

But for me I am successful

Your success and failures, shouldn't be determined by others

You should know from within

The clever pave their own way Go on, do your work

I have to open the shop

Can't change a thing by crying about it

What?

Hey I am telling you

Hey stop

Leave him

What do you want?

Thought about it

I have decided to keep you as a hero

Nothing helps like pounding

Congratulations!

I've become a hero

We'll be unstoppable after 5 films

They'll never leave us alone

They might come back at us any day

What else can be done?

He has agreed to direct the movie

Ask him to finish the shoot smoothly and come back

Then we can look at it, Once he is back

Yes, please ask him to do that, just a movie

Ashok...

Just a minute

(A film monologue)

Super...Super

Was it okay?

I don't have a choice

You have to undergo an acting training session

There is an acting guru named 'Muthu'

You can go for 10 days acting classes

Then we will look into it

If Guru is coming, let me also join the class

In Sethu's story definitely I will have a role to play

Bro, I am the second hero as well

Whoever wishes to act, Can go for the classes conducted by Muthu sir

Once he says okay, let me start the shoot

- Only if he says okay - He will,

If not we will ensure

When you act like a King

Every part of your body including the hair and nails should feel like a King

Only when you act like a King

If it's a leper then... Sir...please help me

You...?

He is our Guru, don't hurt him

Only if he says okay we go for the shoot

Sethu I've told you already Don't hurt the guru

Come...come

Sir, are you okay?

Apologise sir! It's by mistake

You may be a don in your place

You can be whomever you are

Still you are my student

You will realise it as we move ahead

Didn't understand?

Your classes starts from tomorrow morning 5 a.m

Can't come at 5 AM

When I speak, I don't want anyone to interrupt

Your classes starts from tomorrow morning 4 a.m

For an actor the most important language is body language

We will enact if we have to speak to someone who doesn't understand our language

As an actor the language we need to learn is gibberish

What's that, gibberish?

Can't understand

What is special in Madurai?

Most of the shops in Madurai is famous for Parotta and Mutton Chukka food

Okay, convey the same in gibberish

In Madhurai Parotta...

Now everyone speaks in gibberish

This is very funny

Are you talking in Tamil?

Punishment, Ten times kill and laugh

What is it?

If you bathe in Kuttralum falls, it will be very cool

Sethy, have you guys gone mad?

How long will this go?

From tomorrow we will start the main course

It's just a warm up session

What did you say? Warm up!

Are we looking like clowns?

Karuna - Compassion

Shringara - Love

Raudra - Anger

Veera-Courage

Bhayanaka-Fear

Arputham - Surprise

Bheebhatsya-Disgust

Hasya-Laughter

Shantha-Peace

Mercy...

How do you react when someone gets injured?

Look at me and act

Why are you staring at me?

Why do you howl? I'll hit you on your mouth

You are looking with lust,

Do I look like a woman?

Pull, pull out your tongue

You'll die

Do Shringharam

Why do you bite your lips?

Why do you cry?

Cry...feel and cry

Others should shed tears looking at your cry

How would I make you understand?

Come on cry

Don't cry, master

Cry Sethu...cry

Love, is this how you look at a girl with love?

Aren't you old enough?

Haven't you loved a single girl in your life?

Didn't your heart skip a beat ever?

Haven't you heard the melodies of Ilayaraja in the air?

- I'm a Shankar Ganesh fan - Very important

You won't, you will never feel love in your life

Karthi...

I'm really sorry

You left me crying,

But you were drunk and dancing I was so furious

So I just wanted to get back at you

Tease...?

You ruined my career

Look at this

Have you ever touched someone?

Not me

Will this movie be successful with such a heroic face?

I swear it won't

Have you ever touched any girl?

If something happens, I will...

Didn't you fool me with your love That's why I set you up

Set up...?

An useless life without a girl

I am talking to you,

Don't stand like a statue

Muthu sir, don't scold him much

She can't bear it

Putting me in trouble...?

Don't Karthik, please

Sethu sir

She has been waiting so long

...and if everything had happened in time

You wouldn't have to take this crap from others is what Kayal feels

Could have got married

Even so, romance would flood-

Karthik, please shut up

Karthik, I still love you

Try to understand

I just came to say it

I am not able to forget you

Hey Karthi,

She desired to see me as an actor

Ask her to wait for sometime

Once the movie release, immediately will marry her

Tell her

- Play that song now - Shall I?

In my journey of 20 years

I have never come across such a bunch of morons

But I have trained them to my strength

So from this...

Oorni, Rasu, Senthil, Kasi, Vettu Kumar you all stand aside

Sethu, come over here

We all passed the class

Sethu don't worry, we'll beg and get you passed somehow

This whole lot here, even if they train for eons to come, they can never act

Even the others could stand in the atmosphere

But this one...?

Don't even think of placing him in a corner of a frame

Total waste of time

Okay, sir

You sinner...!

This bugger over here

...is the worst actor I have ever come across

But, he can act

Is there any scenes where he has to cry or romance

Both are there

That's tough

If we could train and beat the shit out of him, may be we can get some performance

But other than that you can start the shooting

Producer sir, let's rock

Sir, first shot

Could you please clap, so we can start?

I would be the only producer to invest, knowing that it's a flop movie,

You want me to clap too? Don't piss me off

Move away and stand

Pazhani sir, please come front

Please do the honor of clapping for the first shot

- Should I? - Com on, do it

'A.Kumar'

"No human in the world is devoid of Desires"

"The same desire that has split states"

"Only that is present, Can be shown to the world"

"Doesn’t matter what period you belong to"

"The craziness of love will never wither off"

"The wonders that the world has not seen Love"

"Will make you go in search of, everyday!"

"Smiling like a weird slacker"

"Disrupting the harmony of the system"

"Shouting like the darkest animals"

"And roaming like a loafer"

28 times we have burnt him

You only did that in your real life right?

Master teach him crying exercise

"The wonders that the world has not seen Love"

Haven't seen your daughter for a while

Ask her to come over to the shooting spot

Enough...enough

Master, teach him crying exercise

It may rain Let's go for a take

I told you to shoot like the God Father movie

It's getting late Let's go for the take

Lights off

What's the problem over there?

That Bluetooth head guy creating problem

I can't do that

What do you want?

Lights on

After this dialogue it's Sethu's entry

Where is Sethu? Master, where is he?

Hey senseless goose, shot is ready and everyone is looking for you

- I'll come right now - Come quick, stupid

Guys take care of him

He is treating you like a school student

Difficult to watch this

It is difficult to act as a gangster than to really live like a gangster

"So what if you are the King,"

"You’ve to flex your muscles to get things done"

"Taking a clown’s job will entail making a fool of yourself"

Who kept the baby here? You moron take it away

- Dude he is calling me a moron - So what take it away now

What's all this second hero?

"Will make you go in search of, everyday!"

He's hitting me for real

I'm supposed to hit you in this scene

Till now no one has beat me

Pack up!

Master, what happened?

Slipped and fell down

How...how?

While taking bath

Did you all bath together?

In 3 months me and Sethu will get married

Are you happy now?

If this movie flops, you can make another

What about my life?

I loved you truly

You could have told me when I proposed, right?

I'm not the filmy heroine type

Fighting everyone to marry my love

I will cry for few days...

...then will marry Sethu and get on with my life

Like a breeze, you touched my life and now you pass by

Go

Even I'm not the typical hero

...to fight Sethu and take you away from him

I can't do all that

But I badly want to

We'll see, 3 more months are there right

(Trailer on TV)

Whole Tamilnadu should know my name

In the history of Madurai, Not just Madurai in the history of whole India

For the first time a movie is getting released in all the theatres in a city

Anywhere you turn, you can only find his face

Entire city looks like geared up for festival

Everywhere Sethu, Sethu

Why is the movie named "A.Kumar"?

"Assault Kumar"

People call me "Assault" Sethu right?

Since Assault is an English word

More tax has to be paid That's why just the initial

We'll only release Sharukh Khan movie

What can you do about it?

Leave the place

The movie is going to be released tomorrow

For the next one year only our film should run

My film should not lose, If so it's a shame

We have given token to every house in the city

Friday 3 p.m and Sunday 6 p.m show okay?

2 shows? Friday have to go to work

That's alright put sick leave and come

We have arranged vehicles to pick and drop everyone

Do come and enjoy the film

You've to come everyday

We are also gonna give biriyani and alcohol for the film goers

You've got 150 tickets

Even one not turning up, I'll kill you

Kollywood is in shock by looking at the opening for a debut actor

We'll get to know the results by tomorrow after the release

Is this the violent action film that I asked for?

This is all I could manage with him

How is the movie?

Why are you crying, sir?

Dad, I'm not coming in you go ahead

Why?

You go, I'll watch from here

Okay

Come one by one

Get in...get in

Move...move

"In a land of blood and death, called the grand Madurai...

among the ruthless killers was born a man called 'A.Kumar'

In A.Kumar, A stands for...

Azukuni Kumar (Crybaby Kumar)

What he does is?

He cries for everything

...and tries to become a gangster

Who is that Azukuni Kumar?

Here comes our sir

If you make a gangster film with him, it would be a laughing stock

You are acting serious but everyone is laughing

In the next scene I'll shoot a guy,

You see everyone would be shocked

Cry man, cry out loud

He made me a fool

Roll camera

Do it

Hey, do it man

Listen to me carefully

Did you speak this dialogue?

What I spoke in that scene was different

It's not even my voice They have added it separately

Oh, you can add things later to the movie is it?

Why are you crying, sir?

Awesome, how did you?

Awesome, man

Everyone in the audience is gonna enjoy every minute of it

First he cut the call, Now it's switched off

The song was different when we shot, now it is something else

I have never seen people laughing so much for a song

It seems like a magic

It is our fault, not knowing what could be made in cinema

Light it and cry Light it...and cry

Now light it and cry

Hit your head and cry

Jump crying from there

Come, let's go

He ditched us

Eating my food, under my roof, with my story, look what he did

That's why they never to trust the educated

- Great job - Superb

- Mom - Movie is very good

Tell me, sir

Acted like a buffoon feeling ashamed

- Tell me, boss - Sethu...

Awesome, buddy

You made Sethu a joker, the comedy king of the decade

- Thank you, sir - I hope your next movie with me

Hey I'm flying to Singapore tonight You guys too be safe, don't get caught

If we get caught, that's it

This movie is breaking genre and trends set here

A comedy gangster flick "Azhuguni Kumar" (Crybaby Kumar)

How did you get the idea?

People are scared of these murderers and killers

With a story of such a violent murderer...

I wanted to make everyone laugh

In fact most of these rowdies will look like a joker up close

Just thought of showing that

How did you find the lead, looked really funny on screen?

We were looking for a guy who looks comical

An apt face for Azukuni Kumar,

Of the 1000 faces I saw, he fitted perfectly for the title

The gang in chennai is in the lookout, but they all went hiding

Our biggest assets is the fear people have seeing us

Have lost that all in one day

Find Karthik and kill him

Kill him with my hands

There is no one in this house Looks like locked for while

Where is Oorni?

It's been 2 weeks since sir went abroad

You guys are staging a drama here

He is not there

10 lakh if Sethu should come

It is fine but you finish the deal, don't need Sethu

If he comes, everyone would burst into laughter and no one would take it serious

- He is coming - Is he the one?

- Where is Karthi - I don't know brother

They have thrashed him at the Temple

He's is safe for now, has requested and extended his stay in the hospital

Your parents have reached Bombay safely

Speak to them

Why are we running and hiding?

What did I do wrong?

What didn't you?

He started beating people cause someone laughed at him in a school drama

Now everyone is laughing at him Because of you

I didn't pull him into this

He forced me to do it

It's me who should chase and him for this state

We've got to do something

What can we do?

We caught a reporter once and took him to...

- Where was that? - Sugarcane field

Took him there and planned to burn him alive

If you had shown this 2 months back...

...there would have been no need to even make that movie

Just had a thought about the evidences

What is the plan?

I spoke to ACP Raman This proof is enough

We need to get this to Dindigul police tomorrow

Dindigul? Why don't we go to Madurai only? It's risky

Sethu is not a gang lord for the police to come and collect the proof

We have to go for our needs

Don't worry they are looking for you in Chennai

That's why you are hiding here near Madurai

It is better to hide beneath the enemy than across him

But we can't stay hidden forever

Its been a week since my kid was born, haven't seen him yet

Don't worry just another 10 days

Will Sethu forget everything in 10 days?

No he'll be forever gone

They have burned the reporter alive, will the police leave him?

ACP said if the proof is good, he can move and get the order

- What order? - What else?

For encountering Sethu

They will kill him?

Let him die

Every show they are talking about Sethu

Yeah

This A.Kumar has become the undeniable king of comedy

Have you gone mad? Why are acting crazy?

Yes, they have made me crazy

The whole world is making fun of me and you both are having your laughs

Its not like that Sethu, all big stars are praising you

Have you ever had the courage to talk in front of me?

Where did you get the guts to talk?

You have lost the fear for me, right?

That's why all this, do I look funny to you?

Stop this, hitting women

If you are stuck here in this house, they will make you a joker for real

We have got close to Karthik,

We'll find him 2 days

What happened now?

We'll murder some and get our name back

Ponram's dad expired it seems, just got the news

The funeral is in Dindigul house

The duet song in the A.Kumar film is the talk of the town

More than 5 million viewers have seen this song on YouTube

The trend setting song and the comedy performance of the hero becomes-

Sethu...?

Let's enjoy the song

Sethu...hey Sethu

Fetch some water for me

Would they kill everyone?

I don't know about all but Sethu for sure

Is that really needed?

Isn't it wrong?

You prefer to die in their hands?

Its a game of cat and mouse

We have to play cat, like they taught us

Everything is right for survival

What is that for?

Just for safety, uncle gave it

We don't need that

Once he ruled the whole Dindigul

What did he rule?

Does this look like a king's funeral?

Not even a single soul that lurked in his shadows turned to his funeral

We mistake all the fear for respect

There are a lot who are happy that he's gone

A coffee with less sugar

He is the hero of the movie A.Kumar

You were the actor in AKumar movie right?

Yes, Sethu was the hero in that

Heard the movie is doing well

Have to watch it after all this is over

Watched the movie, it was so awesome You have done a great job

The whole movie was a laugh riot

Your dance and fight was excellent

I told you right, he's that hero

Stop the car

Reverse it

I think this police business is not needed

Everything that happened was in our favor, isn't it?

Don't keep repeating the same

If you feel like helping me, just keep quiet

We won't get caught don't worry

They'll never leave us in peace

Just a minute

- Who's that? - Sounder's wife

We saw your movie it was good

We haven't gone out anywhere since his death

But last week your people forced us to go watch it in theaters

I laughed after a long time

She has become your fan watching the movie

She wanted to watch it again, took her again the next day

You wanted to say something right, say it

Tell him, he has to leave

Uncle you had danced well and fights were nice

Crybaby Kumar was superb

Are you done, shall we go?

- Doesn't she know? - No one knows

Sekar shot Sounder and we shot him back

That is all

She wants to shake hands with you

You asked right, go on

(Gibberish)

Go away

Get lost

Get lost I say

Come, Oorni

Do you have Director Maniratnam's number?

'Today'

Sir, the target is in position shall we move?

Let's move

What?

Karthik has sent you a gift

Sir, its over he's dead

Jigarthanda means cold-heart

It's not a usual script

It's against the social violence and about world peace

Just think about it again, In this subject-

Hello, I understand, your story is good

Maybe after 2 years we'll see about it

We'll start the shoot in 2 months You are the hero

Are you commanding me?

Who do you think you are?

I'll make sure you don't make films anymore

Getup, Idiot

Hey guards

Get up

Hey guards

What's all this? Ro...?

Rowdyism?

Cut

Okay? Is the shot ok?

How was my performance? Is it okay, sir?

Is the shot okay?

Sir, I've performed well, isn't it?

Sir, tell me

- Muthu - Coming

What's this? Is this what I asked?

- I'll correct it - Make it fast

He can't act even if it was real

This is not fair

Look, I am not seeking your permission to act in my film

I'm telling you to act in the film

Okay?

Okay, I'll do it but the next will be Mani Ratnam's

Uncle...Uncle?

- Uncle? - What?

Don't disturb him

No thanks, but call me Dad

Feeling romantic...?

Tell me dear, Yeah I'm with him

He will agree

He has

I'll call you back

My wife is your fan

She wants you to act without all these tash and beard

You'll look good

Of course, this script right? Jigarthanda

About the social injustice brought by violence

...and a hero who fights back the system

A good social message

A good script

Nothing helps like pounding

Ok, let's go for one more Double up

Looks good on you

Camera

Action
