Original subtitles

You won't make it.

You will never make it.

Sleeping till eight thirty! How will you get anywhere in life?

Wake up!

My name is Raghuvaran.

This is how my dad wakes me up everyday.

I'm one of the lakhs of engineers who passed out in '99 wanting to make it big.

On Day 1, I stood outside my college and thought.

"Yes, I'm going to become an engineer!"

I smoked, I drank, I bunked college and I went to the movies.

I had many arrears but I cleared them in my final year.

I thought I was the engineer, but there were a hundred thousand others like me.

About ten thousand of them, genuinely smart, get jobs.

Twenty thousand of them might have influential fathers.

Thirty thousand might have ancestral business.

I belong to the remaining majority.

- Which is-- - Good-for-nothing!

- Good-for-nothing! - Good-for-nothing!

- Good-for-nothing! - Good-for-nothing!

- Good-for-nothing! - Good-for-nothing!

Good-for-nothing!

Your brother's bike won't start. Go drop him at work and come.

He's three years younger to me.

But I'm woken up to drop him at work.

It's just your little brother. Drop him off.

Why can't he drop him this one day?

He's been sitting idly for four years after finishing his engineering, right?

And so much ego!

All the punch dialogues he cracked after high school.

"All the buildings in the city will be built by me."

Only managed to build castles in the air.

You greet someone in the morning with "You'll never make it".

What do you expect?

How will you get a job if you go looking like this?

If you shave and tuck in neatly, you'll get hired.

My mother believes that shaving will get me a job.

Brother, I'm getting late for work.

Please, brother. Let's go.

This is my brother. He's taller and better looking than I.

Most importably, he has a job.

This is my vehicle.

My dad bought to for me in 7th grade for getting first rank.

- Hey! - Brother?

Come here.

I dropped you, right? Give me twenty bucks.

I don't need your money.

This is just taxi charge for dropping you.

Go on.

My name is Raghuvaran.

I'm an unemployed graduate.

VIP!

VIP!

VIP!

VIP!

If a guy is jobless, they make him to do all the household work.

This is my dog.

His name is Harry Potter.

Don't ask me why I named him that I don't remember.

I'm tired of filling applications.

Now I do it mechanically.

After finishing engineering, you either need to work as an engineer.

Or take whatever job comes your way.

Or--

To the living room?

- In the hall, madam? - No, take it to my room upstairs.

Where upstairs?

The room to your right.

I don't understand.

I said it's on the right side. What more do you want!

Did you understand?

Oh God.

Fine, I'll take you there. Come.

If fate had been on my side...

...that guy carrying the cupboard would have come a little later.

This is my fate.

'The rebels barged into--'

Who's moved in next door?

A doctor called Gokul. They look well off.

They have a daughter. She looked like a movie star!

She came home this afternoon to borrow our hammer.

Really? I was home all day, I never saw her.

You're home all day. That's my problem.

A good-for-nothing should always be arrogant.

If we bend over a little bit, they'll screw us over.

This happens in my house very often.

I struggle to hide this cigarette packet everyday.

Brother, give me the laptop.

I have office work! Give me the laptop.

Hey, wait.

Always on Facebook!

You've got a group for unemployed people.

You call yourselves V.I.P...

...and there are sixty thousand members!

You're mocking me 'cause I'm borrowing your laptop?

Take your laptop and buzz off.

It's hard to not look at the girl next door.

If she looks like a movie star.

I would obviously be excited about it.

Harry Potter! Go, go.

If you don't have a job, even the dog you've petted and named won't respect you.

Who is it?

Aunty, I live next door.

The ball fell in. So--

Come in. Take it.

What's your name?

Raghuvaran.

Where do you work?

"String Puppet" serial has started! I'll come get it later.

Hey, you watch it, too?

Didn't I tell you let him get married again.

Darn it.

This mother-in-law is so mean!

Even I don't like this character at all, aunty.

If someone troubles my daughter like this, I'll just ask her to come back.

Aunty, you have a daughter?

Yes, her name is Shalini.

Has she gone to school?

School? No way, she's twenty five.

Is she asleep?

No, she's gone to work.

Her father is already getting egoistic.

That his daughter is making more money than him.

She must be making around fifty thousand a month?

Fifty thousand?

Her father makes almost a hundred and fifty a month.

She makes two lakhs a month!

Even jobless girls don't look at me.

This one is out of question.

You're coming out of this house?

No dad, the ball fell in.

I saw you coming out of this house when you were sixteen.

Even then you told me you've come to take the ball.

You were playing with ten other boys then.

Now you're playing alone.

They've all got jobs now.

Three families have lived here.

And it's been painted five times.

But you're still the same.

See if there's some work at home.

How that girl gauges me is up to her.

But I need to try my best.

I need to see that girl who looks like a movie star.

I thought he'd study and build houses.

He's playing with plastic.

You just need an excuse to deride him.

The dog follows him. Birds of the same feather flock together.

I'm generally not such an indecent guy.

I'm a very decent. No, I'm a little decent guy.

Hey, Harry Potter!

Wanted to feed that dog, where's it gone?

What are you doing here?

- Your dad wanted to know. - Nothing.

- What's that in your hand? - Nothing, mom.

Give it to me.

What is this?

I told you, right. A new project for the engineering.

What does it do?

It's like a telescope. Things that are faraway look closer.

Not me, mum!

Look up. You'll be able to see the stars, the moon.

Yes, it looks so close!

You can't touch it, mom.

Raghu, you made this yourself?

You're a talented guy.

But why aren't you getting a job?

Talent is not enough these days.

Talent is more than enough.

Come on, mother.

Have you watched The Titanic?

Yeah, the one where the ship breaks and everyone falls into the sea and dies.

That's right.

The hero sits with the heroine and watches the stars in the sky.

I'm doomed to watching it with you!

You devil! You're in love and everything?

Who would love me, mom?

What's wrong with you?

You're handsome, intelligent.

I'm unemployed.

Girls these days want minimum security.

I have a friend's birthday party tomorrow.

Everyone has to bring two thousand bucks.

Please arrange for that money somehow.

Okay, I'll get it from your brother.

I'd rather get slippered!

Either get it from dad, or I'll go there empty handed.

Okay, we'll see.

Raghu, here's two hundred rupees.

Mom, I asked for 2000 and you're giving me 200.

I could only get this much. Make do with this.

Couldn't flick any more from your dad.

Bhuvana!

I'm coming, dear.

At least get me one thousand, mom.

I'll be in trouble if I take any more.

- I said come here, for a minute! - What's with him? I'm coming!

- Mom, please mom! - Take this. That's all you get.

Wow, he's got a car!

What's this, suddenly? I thought you've bought a friend's car.

Want to try driving?

This is not my thing, son.

- I'll drive. Let's go for a drive. - Okay.

It's my favourite brown colour! You never told us.

Get in, mom.

Brother. Let's go for a drive!

Go ahead, I'll.. later--

- Yeah, he's a busy guy. - Okay, brother.

What's the mileage?

"I needn't rely on anybody. Get away."

Cheers!

Okay, guys. The two grand we'd agreed on.

Buddy, I only have Rs. 200.

No problem, dude! I know you're unemployed When you get a job!

You keep this money aside. We'll need it later. Okay?

These guys are all members of the V.I.P group.

None of them are in jobs appropriate for their qualifications.

One of them is in a call centre, another takes care of his dad's business.

Another guy has become a prof. in the college he went to.

One of them is an assistant director in the movies.

If you heard the kind of abuse this grad takes from that director!

- This is not done, sir. - Hey, stop.

- Are you drunk? - No, sir.

Yes, sir.

Get the money, pay the fine.

Sir, are we driving? We're just walking.

What! Creating public nuisance, eh?

There is no public here. Who are we being a nuisance to?

Give me your ID cards and bring your parents in the morning.

Please, sir But we didn't do anything! Please, sir.

You look like you're making a lot of money. Treat me and you may leave.

What is it?

Sir, we're walking because we don't have money.

Is that so? Take your mobile out. Make the call.

Call your parents!

Sir, please sir!

Don't beg him, guys.

What do we have here?

You could have done this sooner.

Wasting my time!

Dude! That was awesome.

You killed it. Superb! How did you do it? No chance.

Sometimes, 200 bucks from your parents give...

...you might hold more value than two grand!

"What a meal!"

"What a meal!"

"The patties I fried are gone."

"What a meal!"

"The kite I flew is now torn."

"What a meal!"

"My plans are ruined now."

"What a meal!"

"We've been stomped over."

"What a meal!"

"I'll tell you the moral of this story--"

"What a meal!"

"What a meal!"

"What a meal!"

"What a meal!"

"What a meal!"

Are we done? We'll wrap it up?

Watch how I wrap it up now.

Brother, calm down!

So, you said you have a moral to tell us Let's hear it out!

The moral I have to say is--

"Like the crow is black, I'm wearing sandals."

"Stay sharp, friend. Don't you get it?"

"Raw mangoes are bitter. Ripe ones are sweet."

"Such is life This won't change."

"If you find love Keep it!"

"If it goes away, let it go!"

"If luck is on our side. Make the best of it"

"When you run out of luck, run away!"

"My lord!"

"My Lord, I've put my faith in you."

"I'm going around. Trying to find my path."

"But your eyes never saw me!"

"What a meal!"

"What a meal!"

"What a meal!"

"What a meal!"

"What a meal!"

"The patties I fried."

"The patties I fried are gone."

"What a meal!"

"The kite I flew is now torn."

"What a meal!"

"My plans are ruined now."

"What a meal!"

"We've been stomped over."

"What a meal!"

"I'll tell you the moral of the story now."

No, thank you!

Okay.

"I will come for you."

Mommy!

- The bike! My leg! Ouch! - Oh my God!

You sinner. Are you drunk?

This is the neighbour kid.

I'm sorry!

Shall I drop you home?

Oh gosh, no!

No! I'll go on my own.

Mommy! Oh God!

Why are you following me?

I'll walk you home.

Oh, company?

What is your name?

You're right. I'm a drunkard, a stranger.

You shouldn't tell me your name.

My name is Raghuvaran.

Pleased to meet you.

Know something?

My kid brother.

Three yours younger to me.

Has bought a car!

My dad is so proud!

But I couldn't be completely happy.

I'm not jealous or anything.

Maybe I'm a little jealous.

But what can I do?

It's all my fate.

Why are you walking with me?

That's my fate!

Oh god. Very bad fate!

- Hello. - Hello. Who's speaking.

Hello, we've reached your place.

You'll be okay?

We've reached my place?

Yeah.

The house next door?

Yeah.

Oh my God. I'm losing balance.

Can you come here please?

What!?

You, in the blue clothes!

Come here.

Very slow walk.

What?

There's a girl in this house.

Her name is Shalini.

She looks like a movie star it seems.

My mum told me.

I even made a telescope and tried to look.

But I was unlucky even there.

She makes two lakhs a month, it seems.

Hello.

Why don't you go home?

Got a cell phone?

A mobile!

What for?

I need to call my mum and ask her to open the gate.

So sweet. 9840440403.

"Everything is a joke to him. He troubles--"

- Mommy. - Where are you?

Mommy, please open the gate. I'm waiting outside.

You're waiting outside?

Mommy, I love you.

Hang up now! I'm coming.

Mommy coming.

I'm nothing without my mother.

I'll be so happy without my father!

"I can't live--" She hasn't even locked the gate?

My mum has come. You can leave.

Hey, what is it?

Mommy.

Are you drunk?

- No, mommy. - Where did you meet him?

He had crashed there.

Crashed?

You're embarrassing me!

If your dad finds out, we're dead.

- Mommy. No, mommy. - Thanks.

- That girl was drunk and ran over me! - Shut up and come.

Thank God.

What will I do now?

How was the joyride this morning?

Shut up!

Have you eaten?

I'll slap you.

You are always hitting me.

Be quiet! Sit down. Be quiet.

I'll go check on your father.

Stay here.

Hey.

He's asleep. Go in and sleep quietly.

Don't get in trouble!

Would he yell if I get in trouble, mother?

Shut up.

Come quietly.

Hold on to me, or you'll fall down!

Yeah, right! I'll fall.

I need five hundred rupees for groceries.

I've left it near the prayer table.

Tell the newspaper guy not to throw the paper outside.

It gets wet and I am not able to read it.

If he does that again I won't pay him.

How many times to tell him!

Karthi's car is dirty.

Ask this mister to wash it.

Yeah. Okay.

What's he clutching his head like that for?

Poor thing has got a headache.

What's he done to get a headache?

Don't start off in the morning!

Keep encouraging him like this...

...he'll get nowhere.

- What did I encourage now! - You always do that.

Just go, now.

You stupid dog!

- Mom! Why are you hitting me? - Rs.200.

I struggled to get you two hundred rupees.

- And you get drunk? - Mom!

I asked for two thousand. You only gave me two hundred.

You got drunk when I gave you two hundred rupees.

If I'd given you two thousand, you'd have smoked pot?

- Answer me. - Mum! Behave like a dignified housewife.

Using words like "drink" and "pot"!

I'll slipper you, rascal!

You've embarrassed me so much.

What's so embarrassing?

I came quietly and lay down at home, right?

- Lay down at home? - Yes.

You were lying on the road, you dog!

The neighbour girl picked you up and dropped you home.

The neighbour girl?

Yes! It was so embarrassing!

Why, don't you remember anything?

How will you! You were drunk to the brim.

If your dad had known, he'd have killed you.

What?

Where's my scooter?

Go look for it where you crashed.

You're so irresponsible! What if someone takes it?

That's funny.

It must be lying there. Go bring it.

My fate.

He asks me to wash the car and you agree!

Shut up and go.

No one wanted to even sell your parts!

Mommy!

Oh God. Sorry.

Careful! Are you okay?

Why's he just walking away.

Didn't you hit me with your car last night?

Not at all.

Don't lie to me!

Didn't you come in this same car and hit me yesterday?

On top of it, you lied to my mom that...

...I was lying on the road.

I'm treated like shit at home, as it is.

Or else what?

I'll go to the cops.

Go. So will I.

Why?

You looked into my bedroom with a telescope, right?

No! Who said so?

You babbled it she you were drunk last night.

Think I'm scared of the cops?

My mum said you look like a movie star.

So I looked.

You're not that great. You're very average.

Buzz off. So much drama for this useless scooter.

You call this is useless scooter?

My scooter can do 60 kilometres for one litre. Can your car do that?

I'll weave my way through the traffic. Can you do that?

If it stops, I can just pedal it home. Can you do that?

Go. Start driving with an "L" board first.

Such a tawdry guy!

Don't you need a bag to carry the flour back?

Hey, coming to play or not?

I'm coming, brother.

- Bye, Shalini. - Bye, Karthik.

Jump over to that compound and play with her toys.

- Toss. - Tails.

Heads! I'm batting.

- Trials. - Okay, bowl.

Are you in the 2nd grade?

Still playing in a plastic ball.

You could at least use a tennis ball.

Tennis ball would keep falling on the road.

The aunty who lives opposite would yell if we played in the road.

Hey, bowl for me.

Hey, what's your problem?

I'm not talking to you I'm talking to my brother.

I'm not talking to you either I'm talking to Karthik.

Go mind your business. Don't disturb our match.

Yeah, right! It's some India-Pak match. You say I distracted.

Doesn't your brother have a job?

- He's just looking. - Oh no! Harry Potter!

- Shut it and bowl The dog has run away! - Come on, bowl.

We're all set with the cooking gas, milk guy?

Yeah, we're all set.

The neighbour boy helped.

Already made friends?

What does he do?

His name is Raghuvaran.

He's finished his engineering and is jobless.

I spoke to his mother yesterday.

Apparently there are many offers from I.T companies.

But he's studied construction and is determined to do just that.

Poor kid, walks in to 15-20 companies for interview every month.

"Embrace me. Take me into your arms."

"I will find out. That place--"

"Quit playing games with my heart."

Hello.

- What? - Sorry.

For what?

For calling you jobless yesterday.

And hitting your vehicle.

And lying to your mom.

That's okay.

I'm sorry, too.

For what?

For looking into your house with a telescope. Saying you're average looking.

If not a movie star, you look somewhat okay Like a T.V star.

"Hey, look at this!"

"- "This is a carnival." - Okay. Bye.

"Who's the funny guy?"

"It's our man, right here."

- Only three of you have meat, right? - "Can chillies taste sweet?"

And jaggery sour?

He is free only on Sundays.

"Can a peacock hatch from a crow's egg?"

Can't you go pick it one day?

I offered to go, brother.

But dad asked me to rest.

Touch the meat and I'll kill you.

Hi.

"Hey, look at this!"

"This is a carnival."

"Who's the lover boy?"

"It's our man, right here."

"Can a donkey neigh?"

"And a horse bray?"

"Can a flower bloom."

"In this ditch?"

"Hey, look at this!"

"This is a carnival."

"Who's the hero?"

"It's our man, right here."

"Can monkeys fly?"

"And fish walk?"

"Listen, Raghuvara!"

"Can you get your hands on this?"

"Can chillies taste sweet?"

"And jaggery sour?"

"Can a donkey neigh?"

"And a horse bray?"

"Can monkeys fly?"

"And fish walk?"

"Listen, Raghuvara!"

"Can you get your hands on this?"

Which round of interview is going on, brother?

I think 177.

What happened, Brother?

These guys take up their dad's business without any experience.

And put the life of us, engineers at stake.

If they have money they should go abroad and enjoy instead of killing us.

Sign.

You've just let your ancestral property go!

What could we do?

They've bought all the surrounding areas.

We fought and begged to retain it.

First they cancelled our water.

And then the electricity.

Now they've ruined the drainage, milk, cable and phone system too It's done.

We can't fight them.

You've snatched it away!

Bless you all.

What is it, dad?

You spent 3 months. For this small piece of land.

And you finished it.

If we ignore small properties. We will not be sitting here.

Every Square foot of land is important.

Any project. Any land.

If we want it we should buy it. If not, we should take it.

You should learn this.

You are going to take over the company in 3 months.

I am going to look after our branch in States.

I think the candidates for interview are waiting for you.

Go. Get back to work.

What is this, Mr. Raghuvaran!

I asked you to design for nine floors. But you've designed for six!

Sir, the F.S.I allows only six floors, sir.

I know all that.

But the extra forty hundred rupee bribe was for these three extra floors, right?

A good engineer does what he's asked to.

But that's wrong, sir.

We've studied engineering to avoid all that, sir.

You may go, Mr. Raghuvaran.

Sir, the plan?

You can take it with you.

Thanks.

I've approached every company and met everyone.

I haven't got the chance to even build a hut!

I can prove myself only if I get a chance, right?

You could try some other job?

Yeah, but the 30-40 grand I make every month would kill the engineer in me.

If I settle for the money, then all my dreams would go for a toss.

I should just go to Banglore or Hyderabad.

Go wherever you want. But after the end of next month.

Why? Will I get a job by then?

I don't know about that.

But next month is my birthday.

Leave after that.

It's okay if I leave after that?

If you're leave anyway.

Might as well stay for my birthday.

For this birthday, I should gift myself an apple.

Why wait till birthday to buy an apple!

There must be one lying at home.

I'll give it to you this evening.

Idiot! I meant Apple's iPhone.

Come.

Hey, Karthik!

Brother?

Switch that fan on.

Idle pig makes his brother turn the fan on.

Yes, brother?

How much would an iPhone cost?

Thirty five to forty thousand.

When did he get home last night?

Around 11.

It was 11:30 when I went to bed!

Go away.

You're losing track with him.

Watch out!

Thirty thousand!

You've come to your little brother to get money from him.

Why hesitate now?

You can eat something else rather than food.

You are not adjusting my night shift and complaining to T.L.

You should afraid of smart pandi group You are not brought up well.

This is how your parents bring you up.

Hey! Who are you?

What?

What's it? Come here.

Smart Pandi is in trouble.

- Hit him. - Brother, please, that's not necessary.

- Please. - I said, hit him!

I said, hit him!

Messing with a kid!

Go sit down.

You've grown such a thick hide!

Won't you hit back?

Go do your job.

The one who gave birth to me. Has orphaned me.

She's paid off the loan of giving birth. By selling me off.

Who are you people? What do you want?

Are you Karthi's older brother?

He's my little brother.

It's the same thing.

I asked you who you were and you are being cheeky?

Break his nose!

Oh gosh! Who are you people!

Why are you hitting my boy?

- Don't hit him! - Hit him!

Somebody call the cops!

Stop hitting him!

What will I do now?

Your dad's not even home.

Let go.

What did you say? Dad's not home?

- Yeah! - Hey, stop!

- Wait. Wait. - Oh God. Hey.

What's happened to you? - It's nothing! Stop.

- There's blood all over. - Stop.

It's nothing!

Just wait!

What is he doing?

Who are you people? Won't your parents look for you?

We've informed them, aunty.

Shut the fuck up, man!

Oh God.

What's happened? Why are they hitting you?

Call yourself a mother?

Why?

Won't tell me sooner that dad's not home?

Would he have let this happen?

He'd have beaten the crap out of all of you.

Hello.

Go stand aside.

I'll stand here.

- Are you going to fight? - Wait and watch.

I'll give you people thirty seconds.

Apologise to me and my mother for hitting me and run the hell out of here.

Or what?

I will hit you!

Oh God.

Raghu, behind you!

Hey, fall over there.

My flower pot!

Like I care!

Put the flower pot down.

You oaf! Put the flower pot down.

Oh no!

He broke my flower pot! Idiot!

My wedding is on the tenth, sir.

I only came because Smart Pandi asked me to. Please, sir.

Buzz off! Talking during a fight.

Please don't.

My head.

Oh no! A knife!

Get out of here! Run!

Who are those people? Why did they hit you?

What do you have to do with goons?

Yeah, I've been hanging out with them!

What should be your dialogue as a mom?

"Oh dear, are you hurt?"

What happened? Who are those people?

- Oh God. - Oh God. Hey.

Oh no! Are you hurt?

I thought it was them.

Are you bleeding too bad?

Where's the logic in this?

I don't understand.

If a rowdy hits another, there's some logic to it.

If a politician hits another, I can understand.

Why should someone come and hit you when you're just sitting at home?

He must have done something.

Violence was all that was left.

His little brother is struggling all by himself But he doesn't offer to help.

Even last week there was an offer at a call centre for fifty thousand.

He could have taken it!

How long will he keep waiting to build?

As if he's straightforward.

Go to hell.

When we were in college, I was two years his junior.

Two boys made fun of me He hit them and was locked up for two days.

And then?

And then, this rope I'm tying around your wrist?

I tied a similar one around his wrist.

And made him promise not to hit anyone as long as its there.

He hasn't hit anyone since then. Not even you boys.

- So brother can't hit anyone from now? - Yeah.

Even last week there was an offer at a call centre for fifty thousand.

Karthi, there's hot idlies on the table Eat them and go.

I asked for dosas!

Hey.

You don't need to take that job if you're so unwilling.

You're waiting this long. A few more days won't hurt.

That's okay.

If you don't want to work, go home! Idiot!

Your salary has been credited to your account, Mr. Raghu.

Then, I resign.

Why?

I need to buy an iPhone.

What did I ask him?

What's up? Where are you going?

Here's this month's salary. Ten thousand.

Ten thousand?

But your salary is fifty thousand.

I need the forty thousand for something else.

What will I tell your father?

Tell him whatever you want.

Also tell him that I've quit my job.

What? You quit? Why!

What will I do with him?

Brother!

What?

Please, brother. Help me somehow.

What's happened?

I took forty thousand from dad...

...to pay fees for my computer course.

I went to buy a shirt.

When I came back, the money was gone.

I don't know where it is.

You have to help me.

It's your money.

Be brave! Tell them you lost it.

No, brother. Dad would mistake me.

I will tell them.

Brother, please!

Dad will feel really bad, brother.

What do you want me to do now?

Do you have any money brother?

Or your friends?

Please!

No!

Hey.

Keep it. Take it.

Brother, it doesn't matter who starts earning first.

What matters is who earns at the right time. Understand?

"I say it."

Why so late?

Happy birthday.

I could have bought a more expensive gift.

But it would not have been personal.

Rose was more personal.

So I bought it.

Come, meet my friends.

Thanks for coming.

Happy birthday.

What is it?

Take it.

Open it after I've left.

Bye.

You quit your job?

Yeah.

Why?

You said that other day--

That it's okay to wait.

You only gave ten grand?

Go.

Get the evening paper.

That man let me get away?

There should have been a fight!

He didn't even ask any questions.

You're smoking?

Sorry.

Don't say sorry!

Don't be sorry.

You've earned fifty thousand.

Spent forty thousand and given ten thousand for the house.

You shouldn't apologise!

Why should you smoke in hiding?

You could blow the smoke on your dad's face.

What's the issue now? That I'm smoking...

...or that I didn't give forty thousand?

You think your forty thousand will run the household?

First it was my toil.

Now it's your brother's.

That's all.

Who needs your money?

If you'd given the fifty grand to your mother.

Taken her blessings, taken it and blown it away.

I would have been very happy.

Your little brother needs to pay fees for his M.C.A.

He makes a hundred thousand a month.

He could have gone and paid it if he wanted to.

It's his money.

But he gets it from me and pays after getting my permission.

That's how you show respect.

He's a real son.

Why are you comparing me and him now?

You didn't do the same things for us.

You put him in a convent but I went to a public school.

I struggle to speak in English in the interviews.

You keep saying I don't get a job!

How will I?

I can't even do a presentation properly.

I could only afford that much back then.

After that you shifted him to English medium, right?

You could have shifted me, too!

Why didn't you?

So much partiality!

You keep comparing, deriding!

Why do you compare?

Even our names!

His name is a hero's- Karthik!

Mine's a villain's name- Raghuvaran.

If he's so special you could have just had him.

Why did you have me?

What could we do?

You were born to us first.

He was born after that.

Super. Very good.

At least you've admitted that you feel this way.

You wish I wasn't born.

Is that what you mean?

It's my body. My life.

I'll smoke cigarettes and do whatever I want.

What's your problem?

Hey.

Watch your tongue!

It's getting out of control.

Like what?

What will happen?

You'll ask me to get out of--

You smoke, drink, go for a job, or don't.

I don't care.

But if you raise your voice to him or speak disrespectfully.

I'll kill you. Get lost!

Mum and dad are very fond of you.

He spoke like that because he was angry.

Don't feel bad.

You know how it is...

...dad gets emotional for these small things.

Don't feel bad, brother.

So much was happening downstairs.

You didn't open your mouth to say that I gave you the money.

You've run upstairs and hid yourself.

You're preaching now?

Shut up or I'll break your mouth.

Sit.

You're the good guy.

I'm the bad guy.

I'm a martyr!

Do you drink?

Oh. No, brother.

You'll drink coke?

Okay, brother.

Drink up.

It's diet coke. You haven't had it before?

This is how it would be. Drink.

Brother?

Want to drink?

Already on it.

How long for the construction to get done?

Three months.

You've been building for so long!

We've got a sucky engineer.

Sucky engineers get a chance.

But I'm sitting here getting drunk in my terrace.

I just called you for company.

"I'm in search of my life."

"Singing because I'm pissed off."

"Humming a sad tune when I'm drunk."

"I'm mixing soda with my words."

"This dude's a loafer."

"A huge crackpot."

"Getting hit over and over again."

"I'm now a strong man."

"I've broke now."

"But I'll survive."

"I'll fight it, I'm a fighter!"

"Here I come, blow the conch!"

"The freeloading king is here."

"Tamil is my mother tongue."

"I'm single and I'm young."

"Here I come, blow the conch!"

"The freeloading king is here."

"Tamil is my mother tongue."

"I'm single and I'm young."

"Blow the conch."

"I'm the king."

"I'm single and I'm young."

"Blow the conch. I'm the king."

"Mother tongue."

"I'm single and I'm young."

"What's his problem? Why's he yelling?"

"It's nothing!"

"Won't the neighbours complain?"

"What would they think!"

"We'll talk about it in the morning."

"Thinks he's a big shot!"

"Even beasts have got Blue Cross."

"Who do I have, to care for me?"

"I, too, want to run behind trees."

"And sing duets."

"I want it!"

"I have no shame or dignity left."

"This plastic flower, has faded now."

"I don't say it out loud."

"But I'm crying inside."

"The pure heart I have."

"Is worthless in this world."

"Get away."

"I'm a useless fellow."

"Tamil is my mother."

"I'm single and I'm."

"Blow the conch."

"I'm a useless king."

"Tamil is my mother tongue."

"I'm single and I'm young."

"I'm single and I'm young."

"Blow the conch."

"I'm the king."

"I'm single and I'm young."

"Blow the conch. I'm the king."

"Mothertongue. I'm single and I'm young."

Hey, Raghu!

Come here.

Hey.

- Hey. - Look at him.

- Hey. - Bye.

- Let's dance. - Let's go.

"Happy birthday to you."

"Happy birthday Shalini."

What's your problem?

Why do you drink like this?

My life is ruined.

Raghuvaran, failure.

What happened?

My mum!

Slapped me so hard.

I did nothing wrong.

Mum, dad and brother.

All three of them have abandoned me.

Why do you talk like this?

Your mom hit you, right?

Ask people who don't have mothers.

They'll tell you what a pleasant thing it is.

To be slapped by mum.

Wow. What a dialogue.

What a dialogue!

You'd know if you'd been in my house.

They make comparisons all the time!

He works, you don't.

He makes money, you don't.

He's bought a car, you haven't done anything.

When I was in tenth, he grew taller than me.

My dad told me back then, he's eating right and is growing tall.

But you're not.

How can I help it if that moron keeps growing taller!

He said that because he cares about you.

Oh.

Care about me?

You wouldn't know.

You're the only child in your house.

In my house, they discriminate even in names.

He's got a hero's name- Karthik.

And I a villian's - Raghuvaran.

I like Raghuvaran more than Karthik.

In the sense?

Just that.

I don't like any of your relatives.

Nor do they like me.

Why do you ask me to go for that wedding?

That too all the way in Chengelpet!

I'm not feeling well. I'm feverish.

Then why don't you just lie down?

Why are you doing all this work?

I'll take care of it.

You take Karthik for company and go.

Karthik to give me company?

Take the elder one, then.

Don't insult me by calling him the elder one.

Yeah, the older one.

Bhuvana...

...you should not have hit Raghu.

He's a man now.

What, then?

He'll threaten to leave home.

You'll get angry and ask him to.

He'll take clothes in a bag and go the end of the street.

Who'll go after him then?

I would have had to.

If I hadn't hit him, that's what would have happened.

Okay.

Harry Porter, stop.

Hey.

Karthi and I are going to Chengelpet this evening.

Mother is not feeling well.

Stay home and be of help to her.

You won't have any work outside anyway.

But stay home.

We'll be back tomorrow evening.

You should have slapped him twice more.

Take your offerings.

Greetings!

Meditating?

Yeah, fight at home.

I know.

Your mom hit you.

I won't speak to her at least for 2-3 months.

How do you know that my mom hit me?

You told me last night!

When?

You even sang and danced in the terrace.

You don't remember anything?

I was talking to brother.

I did sing.

You won't remember anything if you get drunk?

I said something important.

Your loss!

What did you say? What loss?

You forgot, right? Get lost.

Please, tell me what you said.

Are you free tomorrow?

Don't you know me at all?

I'm always free.

Please, tell me what you said.

Take me out, to make up for forgetting.

I'll tell you then.

Okay.

I've given my car for service.

You'll have to pick me up.

Okay.

How will I pick her up in this!

I can't just give you a bike, Raghu!

Please, Pandi! I'll give it back in two hours.

Two hours!

I'll be in trouble if the owner finds out.

Please, Pandi. We're such good friends!

Friends?

I last saw you when we played cricket in tenth grade.

I haven't seen you since.

I'm begging you, Pandi.

Won't do this for me?

You're a pain!

Just two hours!

- I swear by my mother. - Okay, come take it in the morning.

Okay. Thanks.

Where's Pandi?

His girl came in the morning.

He just closed the shutter and rode away with her.

Goddamn you!

What are you looking for?

So much arrogance.

He won't talk to me, it seems.

My fate.

I will travel in this.

Oh no!

I should not have insulted you.

I shouldn't have gone after another bike.

- But don't punish me today. - Oh God.

Please start today! Please!

Paper!

Why so late?

Why's your shirt wet?

I went to the gym.

Will this pull two of us?

I've toed lorries in this!

I've brought you out now.

Tell me what you said the other day.

You call this taking me out?

Yeah.

Take me out for lunch. I'll tell you.

Have you eaten?

Is your stomach full?

Tell me now.

What did you say that night?

Take me to the beach, I'll tell you.

Take a good look.

This is the beach.

Tell me now.

What did you say the other night?

Take me for a good movie and I'll tell you.

You don't need to tell me.

I'm leaving.

Wait, I'll tell you.

I said I like Raghuvaran more than Karthik.

- Okay. - That's it.

That's it?

You made me run around for this?

What more do you want?

"I'm looking for a job. I'm--"

Why do you keep your face like that?

My face is like that.

Okay, listen.

"I'm jobless. I'm looking for a job. I'm a hard worker."

Take the call, please.

It's just mom.

So what if it's just mom?

Talk to her.

I told you, I fought with her. We're not talking.

This is too childish.

Talk to her.

This is how it is in my family.

I expected something more.

Like what?

I thought it would be something important.

Why don't you assume I meant that important thing?

I can't do that!

"I'm looking for a job. I'm--"

Please talk to your mom.

I'll tell you later.

"I'm an hard worker--"

Fine, I'll drop you.

I have an appointment at three.

I won't make it of I go in your vehicle.

My friend is waiting.

"I'm jobless. I'm looking for a job. I'm a hard worker."

You don't respect me at home.

You won't let something good happen to me outside?

Look, he is coming now.

Son! Son!

- Leave me. - Brother.

Why didn't you take the call?

What is it?

Tell me, why didn't you take the call?

She's called you because she had chest pains.

When we came, she was lying on the floor.

She's dead!

You were fine.

She died. She's fortunate.

I wonder the sins.

Wonder what happened.

She's died.

- Why have you come? - Be patient.

- Why have you come now? - Be patient.

- Let me go. - Stop.

I'll kill you!

Calm down.

- Stop it. - Calm down.

What did she do wrong, except give birth to you?

She's no more.

What will I do now?

I asked you to stay!

I asked you to stay home.

What will I do now?

Just stand there like a log!

Are you happy now?

Take a good look!

Go and bring water.

"Mom, where are you?"

"If not for you, what do I have?"

"I searched and searched."

"But I can't find you."

"Why this hide and seek?"

"Please come out."

"Mother! You have left me."

"You've left me to suffer alone."

"I want to sleep to your lullaby today."

"I wish you'd open your eyes. For the song I sing."

"Mom, where are you?"

"If not for you, what do I have?"

"You have fallen asleep. Before I could sleep."

"What got you so mad at me, mommy?"

"The apple of my eye, my divine woman!"

"You need to wipe my tears off my eyes."

"What is this curse fallen on me?"

"I must have sinned, for this to happen."

"Dawn has become dusk and I'm so afraid, mom!"

"Light has lost it's brightness without you."

"A part of me has died, mother"

"I am so lonely!"

"Mom, where are you?"

"If not for you, what do I have?"

- This is the place, sir. - Okay.

This is the place.

Drinking like this won't get you anywhere.

Its been three months. I didn't want to disturb you.

But you haven't shed a single tear.

There's no wrong in crying.

See what needs to be done next. Talk to your dad.

Brother, dad asked me to call you.

My name is Ramkumar.

Your wife had donated her organs.

This is my daughter. She's already a C.O.P.D patient.

Meaning, she's already got weak lungs.

She acquired some bad habits in college. Cigarettes and everything.

Her lungs have failed.

We couldn't find lungs to match her for a long time.

My entire family is indebted to you.

Just came here to thank you.

If you want anything.. anything at all.

I'm feeling a little delicate to ask you.

We don't want anything.

Just ask your daughter not to smoke anymore.

My mom didn't like it when I smoked!

She used to keep asking me not to.

But I never listened.

Please take care of your health.

We'll come back later.

Let's go.

Did I kill you?

If I'd taken the call, you would have lived!

How was I supposed to know!

I didn't do it deliberately.

- It's better that even I die. - Hey.

Stop crying!

What's the point in crying now?

So many times I've missed her calls.

If she'd died then, would it mean I killed her?

Just do your job now.

"You need to keep living."

"Even when I'm gone."

"My breath is in your body, too."

"There are colours everywhere."

"The flowers are fragrant here."

"The world I'm living in has angels."

"You are my pride."

"You'll bring glory to father's name."

"We're far, not separated."

"Don't cry, my baby."

"This world will play out."

"Right before your eyes."

"Times will change."

"Tide is on your side."

"I'm right here, behind you."

"Mom, where are you?"

"If not for you, what do I have?"

"Wherever you go."

"I'll be with you."

"Look at the mirror."

"You'll find me there."

"Mother, you've left me."

"My baby, I'm living in you."

"I want to sleep to your lullabies today."

"The tunes I sing will keep ringing in your ears."

I got a bit emotional that day. We couldn't speak.

I'm Anitha.

My dad enquired about you.

Dad is also in construction.

If you don't mind, you could meet dad at the office tomorrow?

He wants to offer you a job.

- No, please. - Please, my dad--

No! I'll manage on my own.

Won't you do this for me?

Mr. Azhagusundaram, would you please come in?

Good morning, sir.

I'd asked for the slum clearance project details.

After working in this office for ten long years, I finally have my own project!

Ask Mr. Raghuvaran to come.

Why is he calling him?

Oh, as my assistant!

One second, sir.

- Thangapushpum. - Yes, dear?

- Make sweets. - Okay, dear.

I'm coming home with good news.

Good morning.

- Good morning. - Raghvaran, chairman is calling you.

What's the matter, sir?

It's some new slum clearance Involves millions of rupees.

I don't know who's getting the job.

It must be about that.

If it's such a huge project, it'll go to the senior most person in the office.

And that's you.

Sir, congrats! You never told me!

Nothing has happened yet.

But why did ask me to come?

Don't you get it?

Sir, your assistant!

Smart boy.

Sir, when he appoints me as your assistant, please don't refuse!

Don't worry. No matter what happens, you'll be my assistant.

The government has announced a slum clearance project.

We need to submit the tender in a week.

Whoever quotes the lowest price will get it.

We don't need to make any money out of this.

We're only doing this for the reputation.

All the details are in this file.

Take a look and give me a budget.

Sir, why are you giving this to me?

It's your project, you should do it!

Sir, I've only been working here for six months now.

How can I handle such a big project?

Six months is enough to spot the potential.

I've been here for six months now.

You didn't spot it in me?

I don't know what to say, sir.

I don't know how to thank you.

That's not necessary Just do the job right.

Thank you, sir.

Mr. Azhagusundaram, you can be Raghuvaran's assistant in this project.

Okay, sir.

Raghuvaran, congrats.

Thank you, sir.

When we were talking about this project, you too thought it would be mine, right?

Sorry, sir. I didn't even expect--

Don't be sorry. You thought so too, right?

Yes, sir.

So it's not wrong that I thought the same?

- No, why do you ask? - Just to get clarity.

- We'll go see the site? - Okay, sir. We'll see it.

- Go. - Okay, sir.

"A lamp."

Hello.

Dear, do you want cashew nuts or almond nuts in the pudding?

I don't want any nuts.

Why do you sound so low!

First you said to make pudding--

- Mr. Manikyam. - Yes, sir.

- What's happened, dear? - You keep this.

I'll keep it?

Dear?

He said keep it but took it.

- Hi, Raghuvaran. - Hi.

- Congrats. - Thank you.

Did dad tell you about the project?

So this is a family thing?

Thank you so much. This is all thanks to you.

No. You earned it.

Where are you off to?

To see the site once before filing the budget.

To the site? Then I'm coming, too.

You're always ready to come to the site!

Sure.

You always let your scarf trail.

I don't know. I keep doing it.

Why don't you sit here?

No, I'll come from that side.

Why don't you sit on her lap?

What a massive place!

How will I do it myself? I'm nervous.

Dad's choices are never wrong.

I'm telling you. You can do it.

He can't do it if I say so?

My mum was like this, too She'd always encourage me.

Look at him getting mileage by talking about his mother!

What are you looking at?

They're all the biggest builders of Tamil Nadu.

There's a lot of competition to get this tender.

Why, sir?

It's the government's property. Easy to swindle a million or even ten million.

How will we get it with so much competition?

We won't get it. Let's go.

- Excuse me, Mr. Azugan. - Madam.

You just give a fair budget. The rest lies with God.

This tender is definitely ours. No one else will ever take such a tender.

They should purchase cement and bricks from us.

Government projects are always ours!

Dad knows all this. You've only taken over for a year now.

We've given the tender to someone else. Go to the office and ask them.

How did the tender get away?

- We have an inside guy. - I don't know what went wrong.

I don't know what went wrong. I'll just call him.

What happened? Why did we not get the tender?

Greetings, sir.

I tried so hard, sir. But the officer did not accept.

He's next to me I'll call later. Please, sir.

- Hey. - Please, sir.

He's babbling some nonsense. We'll take this matter to father.

He'll set it right.

This is my first project.

If I go to him for help, how will he trust me with the company?

We need to handle this.

How? The tender is not ours.

What happens if the project is not handled properly and government's money is wasted?

The tender is revoked and the next favourable company gets the tender.

I'll make sure that the tender is lost.

You make sure that we get the tender then.

All the best, Raghu.

- He's the one. - Everyone got shocked...

...on seeing that budget.

Even I was not sure if we could finish it in the quoted price.

If we do it right, why would it cost us more!

Congratulations.

Sir, you're Venkat Subramaniam's son Arun Subramaniam, right?

I came to your company for an interview, remember?

- Yes. - Thank you, sir.

- I find him so annoying. - You know him?

No. But I've disliked these tawdry types since childhood.

You're a talented guy! Why aren't you getting a job, though?

Come on, mother.

Talent won't do these days.

Talent is more than enough, Raghu.

"You, be gone today!"

"When you come back tomorrow. It'll be us."

"When I don't see you When we are not talking."

"When we are not together. Everything is a maze!"

"You, be gone today!"

"When you come back tomorrow. It'll be us."

"Within seeing."

"Without speaking."

"She became mine."

"I'm sick and tired of being alone."

"Now that you're here. My sorrow is gone, dear."

"I exhaled a deep breath A warm breath."

"Your fragrance touched me. I've caught a fever!"

"You whisper in my ear.. quietly."

"Peacefully, blissfully.. I listen."

"You cool breeze, blowing against my face."

"Don't be so gentle, come closer!"

"Within."

"Outside."

"In the heart."

"She is mine."

"You, be gone today!"

"When you come back tomorrow. It'll be us."

"When I don't see you. When we are not talking"

"When we are not together. Everything is a maze!"

"Within."

"Outside."

"In the heart."

"She is mine."

Sir, government has provided. 600 square foot per home.

We need to provide everything within that space.

Okay.

- Hello, Mr. Manikam! - The files you'd asked for.

- Okay. Thanks. - "A lamp--"

I think it's Thangapushpam.

You forgot to wish her on her birthday.

Thangapushpum.

Dear, you left without even wishing me on my birthday!

- I'll tell you in the evening. - Okay, dear.

How do you know my wife's birthday?

Thangapushpam and I are Facebook friends, sir.

- Facebook friends? - Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Why did you say yes?

- You asked if we were Facebook friends? - For that?

I asked just to clear my doubt.

Brother, move aside.

Miss, put that down.

Bring the chopper.

They've sent unburnt bricks!

Sir, that's how it will be.

What!

Materials are always of poor quality in government projects, sir.

I have paid you for good materials. Not poor quality ones.

Sir, this is M.L.A Varadarajan's product.

We always get it from him for government projects.

This is all based on some understanding.

You're new here. So--

This is not about that!

I don't care where the materials are coming from.

I need good materials.

Someone is a fraud and you blame it on the government.

Take all this away and ask them to bring new materials.

And the work?

Stop everything. Wait till the new load comes.

- Sir. - Ask them to stop it!

Playing with so many lives!

There is a building collapsed by thunder strike.

I need to go to the slum clearance board to collect the next cheque.

Handle things here.

I heard you rejected our materials?

It's not like that. The quality of the materials was poor.

Then get other materials.

What are you implying, getting materials from elsewhere?

No, sir. I was told all your materials will be like that.

That's how it will be. That's how it always has been.

Which is why we take the tender and finish it on our own.

Why did you stick your nose in our business?

Sir, let's talk decently.

If we use such cheap materials to build...

...the building will collapse even in a small earthquake.

So many lives!

Let them go!

Tamil Nadu had a population of 2.5 crores Then it was 6.5.

No ones knows how many there are now.

This is the only way we can keep that in check.

I can't do that, sir.

I'll stab you right here!

Brainless fool. I'm being nice, talking to you.

Give me the tender and get out of here.

You took me for a geek because of the glasses and the combed hair?

Actually, I'm a bad boy, sir.

I swear a bit, too.

You're being rude, so I might.. lose my cool.

If you send the right materials, fine.

Or I will get it from outside.

Thank you, sir. I will leave.

Take these materials and ask them for a refund.

Go to a good company and ask for good quality materials.

Hello, tell me.

You said you'd make him lose the tender.

- What happened? - He's returned our materials now.

This has never happened before.

I know what to do.

This is the Plan.

The Building's going to be there.

You are going to live in Concrete House.

What's with this new scene?

And the old scene is back, too!

Damn him!

It's wrong to do all this before marriage.

- This is a house? - What!

This is your house? - Yeah, for now.

You're living in a giant carry bag!

Who lives in the ground floor?

Don't mock me! This is the first house I built.

Here comes the new scene--

- Hi. - Hi.

I made this sweet for you.

She door delivers, huh?

Okay, go! He's here now. Come back later.

What's with the sudden silence?

Don't you have anything to do? You're always around.

Did she scold me?

No, sir! It was Harry Potter.

- Hi. - Hi.

- Please come. - Old scene!

Where to sit?

Sir, can you please get up?

Sir, please.

- I'll wait in the next room. - Okay.

Please, sit!

What are you doing here?

Don't have anything to offer you to eat.

Here, eat this sweet it's homemade.

Made in whose home?

I happened to pass by. So I dropped by to see you.

Bye.

Bye, Mr. Azugan.

- Yes. I'm Azugan. - Sir, come in.

- Is anyone else going to visit? - No, please come.

- Can I sit? - Please sit.

- Well-- - Sir.

So, the girl who brought you sweets.

- Yeah, Shalini! My neighbour. - Shalini.

Yes, sir.

And the girl who ate the sweets?

That's our Anitha madam!

- I know that! Don't mistake me. - Tell me, sir.

Is it that girl who is that or this girl who's that.

Or both of them those?

- Sir, why do you talk like that, sir! - Why?

I feel my mother lives in her, sir.

But you have insulted me.

Sorry. Forgive me.

- I reacted like the general audience. - That's okay, sir.

Very sorry.

It's okay, sir.

- Sir Please stop the car. - What Mr. Raguvaran.

Sir, this is all wrong, sir.

What is?

These should not be here.

- Everything is changed. - Is that so?

- There are some 2-3 extra columns here! - Oh, yes.

Sir, this is not even my plan.

None of my plans are SVN there, sir.

I know my plans, sir.

The measurements are all wrong, sir.

So much money! Something has gone wrong.

Government project, too what will I tell the boss? Just be patient.

Jeevan is in charge of all this. We'll ask him.

You've executed my seventh division's plan all wrong!

Sir, I've executed the plan you gave me.

This is the plan I gave Is this what you've executed?

This is not the plan you gave me.

- Bring that plan here. - Sir, I--

This is the plan you gave me.

You! This is not even my plan This is not what I gave you.

No. No.

Sir, I didn't give it to you. Are you kidding me?

Who's kidding who?

Sir, this guy gives a faulty plan first.

When he realises that it's wrong, he gives a new plan.

This is why experienced men should be hired.

This is what happens when newbies are given such huge projects.

Jeevan, don't forget that he's an engineer.

Or I'll have to take this to the boss.

I'm not afraid of the boss.

If he doesn't know his job, that's what I will say.

What did I ever do to you? So much money has gone waste.

What will I do now?

You wasted the money and now you're blaming me?

Go learn your job.

- Hey. - What are you looking at?

Tomorrow.

He'll give another plan tomorrow and maybe change it day after.

There's something fishy here.

This is not your fault, Raghuvaran.

There are ten divisions! You can't be looking at each and every one of them.

We trusted him.

What's happened, Mr. Raghuvaran? You've built it all wrong, I heard?

If someone undeserving bites more than he can chew, this is what happens.

First, you need to build sand castles in the beach.

Then you buy blocks from a toy store and build.

You take up small tenders like a theatre toilet or a school's toilet after that.

If you're going to take a three hundred crore project...

...straightaway, think we'll just stand by and watch?

What are you going to do now?

Demolish this whole thing again clear everything and build a basement.

Makes me dizzy!

Think you can deliver on time?

And you said you'd only use high quality cement, bricks and rods.

There'll be a thirty crore loss at least, right, Jeevan?

Yes, sir.

If you have lost 30 crores in a 170 crore project...

...will you be able to finish it within 140 crores?

- What do you say. Jeevan. - Not easy, sir.

Don't I know that this project's budget is 200 crores?

Isn't that why we gave a 400 crore budget!

You think you are smart.

We've been living this trade for generations now.

Think we'll let beggars like you into the game?

Do the job you're capable of.

Declare this project beyond your capacity and run away.

I'll give you five, or maybe even ten or else.

- Otherwise-- - Or what?

You white trash!

With absolutely no talent or academic qualification.

You've jumped straight to the boss's chair because your father was rich...

...without doing a single day's hard work, ever!

If you can be so arrogant.

My parents struggled to pay donation and put me in school.

I studied so hard from kindergarten to tenth grade...

...just to pick a difficult subject in high school.

Because that's the only way I can become an engineer.

I took a different tuition for physics, maths and chemistry.

I was juggling from one class to my another.

And my parents were juggling from one job to another to pay for those tuitions.

I'd stay up all night to study, sipping tea...

...waking up to an alarm every morning just to study.

And those grades weren't enough so...

...another two months of preparing for entrance exams.

The cut off from those exams were not good enough.

So we pledged my mother's jewellery to get an admission in an engineering college.

I cleared the arrear papers on the fourth year.

I enter into the society just to get jibed for not having a job.

Running from one place to another to find a job.

For years, I was sitting at home idly to be called a freeloader by my father.

All that food was stuck in my throat and hurting me, it was choking me.

And finally some good soul decided to give me a job...

...and a jackass like you wants to take it away from me.

I'm standing before here talking to you, handling all this and more.

An unemployed graduate like me can be just as arrogant.

I'll make you overspend your budget, ruin this contract.

Get these slum people to beat you up and hand you over to the police.

Softie pants! You've only seen Raghuvaran as a villain till now.

Not as a hero!

You'll see him now.

That's right.

Yeah.

I didn't even know such people existed, sir.

I grew up with mum, dad, brother and my puppy.

Can't people ever climb up?

Should boys like me have to be rag pickers forever?

They go out of their way to ruin our growth!

Is there room only for those with ancestral wealth?

Demolish! We can do it.

"He's an unemployed graduate."

"Touch him and he'll galvanise you."

"He's an unemployed graduate."

"Touch him and he'll galvanise you. - He'll galvanise you."

"We shall rise today."

"Bringing the change."

"Let's come together, my friend."

"Sweat it out, work hard."

"Push these speed limits."

"Run towards victory, my friend."

- What did the slum clearance board say? - To go ahead with the project.

If we can't finish it within the budget?

They said the company will have to bear the losses.

Please don't worry, sir.

I'll definitely finish it within the budget.

Mr. Raghuvaran, this is not your fault.

Thankfully we noticed this at an early stage.

Think about how we can handle a loss of thirty crores or forty crores.

But don't let this worry you.

I have complete faith in you.

Thank you, sir. I'll do this right.

- Greetings, sir. - Greetings.

I'm working on a project to shift the poor from their hutments to concrete houses.

We want to do this fairly, without taking any cuts or bribes.

Okay.

But there are people preventing us rom doing that.

You mean that Arun Subramian? I heard about it, too.

Even his dad, while heading, wouldn't let us get a single government project.

And his son seems to be worse!

I heard you're being a fair job.

What can I do for you? Tell me.

If you could give us a small discount from the rates you normally quote.

It would really help us.

This is for a good cause.

And you seem like good people.

I'll give a twenty five percent discount.

This is for the poor. If you could be a bit more considerate.

What do you have in mind?

If you give a seventy five percent discount...

...they'll use the leftover cement to erect your statue.

Let's find a middle ground, then.

- So who wins? - Sir.

Fine, fifty percent!

If you ask beyond this, I'll have to give it for free.

- I will take that, too, sir. - Keep quiet, sir.

- He changed his mind. - Keep doing business with us, son.

But don't expect a discount the next time.

Definitely, sir.

"VIP."

- "He is the king." - "VIP."

"He is the future." - "VIP."

"He is invincible." - "VIP."

"He is arrogant." - "VIP."

"He is the king." - "VIP."

"He is the future." - "VIP."

"He is invincible." - "VIP."

"He is arrogant." - "VIP."

Gather ten workers each from all the other divisions to work on this.

Request these men to work for extra two hours.

We must meet the deadline.

So, Arun sir.

Looks like you're unable to meet the challenges you made?

He seems to have struck some deals. And the work seems to be going great!

We'll take this to your father?

Look, this is my problem now.

I need to beat him on my own now.

Beat him? What, you're going to send goons to beat him up?

You take me for a sissy?

You'll have to send men to do that. What else will you do?

We'll be okay as long as we don't send men.

I don't understand.

- Mr. Raghuvaran. - Sir.

Why are you taking me walking now?

We're riding in my scooter!

- This is a scooter? - Sir?

- I meant, is this your scooter? - Yes, sir.

This is apt for your size. Who bought it for you?

My dad bought it for me in 7th grade, when I got the first rank.

- Just to clarify. - Tell me, sir.

Does this vehicle have a motor or is it running on pedal?

Sir, don't mock my scooter! It's very special to me.

Yeah, you're the only one in the whole of India who owns this scooter.

Yeah, okay.

- Don't give it away, ever! - No way, sir!

- Where are all the workers, sir? - I don't seem them either!

Must be some payment problem.

Just go check in the labourers camp?

We've been supplying everything properly. I will go and check.

You all know how many projects. I run in Tamil Nadu.

That boy walked in recently.

He's here now.

But no one knows if he'll be around in the future.

So you guys decide.

If you work there, you will not get work in my, my friends'...

...or company shareholders' projects.

There's no one in the labourer's camp!

There's no one?

Yeah!

Sir, call that supervisor and find out.

If you don't go there, I will pay you twice the salary you're making.

I will guarantee that you will work in all of my projects.

- Raghuvaran. - Sir.

He's not answering I'll meet him in person and find out.

How irresponsible! He should have informed us if--

- Hello. - Hey, kid! Standing alone?

There's no one with you?

If you work alone for twenty hours a day.. 20 multiplied 3 for 6 weeks and 8 months.

You'll finish the work in 22 years, yeah?

But don't just quit this project!

I will beat you, destroy you and take it away from you.

This project is not such a big deal to me.

But someone like you talking to me like that!

I can't let that happen.

And now that you've become a hero, I need to do the villains job, right?

Take care.

Son, why do you worry when you have us?

It's our slum people who work for the big companies.

All the plumbing, painting, carpentry, cleaning and every other job!

We toil for so many people.

You're building homes for us. Won't we work for you?

We can do work in 4 divisions with them. What about the rest?

We need more labourers.

We need electronic and mechanical engineers too!

We need supervisors to guide them.

We need to meet someone and get this sorted within two days!

Hey, broomstick! This is Facebook?

Yeah.

Thangapushpam and I are Facebook friends.

I need to investigate something here. Give me!

Give me your account name.

Account AZ-12347680.

- What's that? - That's my bank account.

I need your Facebook account. You have to create one.

If you post it here, it'll reach the whole world.

It is that powerful? What about Twitter?

First learn to use this. We can do that later.

Give me your laptop.

What happens when you post this.

If any press people or the opposite party men see this video.

They might talk it over and support us.

If atleast 10,000 views some will here us out.

Now how many viewed this.

120 views.

If we say ALF company threatened and...

...didn't send them to work, people will laugh.

And we might lose the Project.

Nothing of that sort will happen.. you go to bed.

I've given all the instructions to Kumar.

Ask him whatever you want. Go.

Raghuvaran, the slum clearance department has been calling constantly.

For how long can I avoid?

If this continue, we will lose the project.

Hello, sir. I'm Vignesh.

Even I'm a member of the VIP community.

I saw your post on Facebook yesterday. I'm a mechanical engineer.

So I just came to help in any way I can.

Only one person has turned up!

It was just the two of us yesterday. Now we're three.

- Thank you. - It's okay, sir.

Come, I'll show you the plans.

You said only one guy! Look how many have come.

There are so many unemployed engineers?

If there are so many in a single group...

...think of how many there would be in the world?

"Barriers?"

"Break them!"

"Let's make history."

"The future is ours."

"Pain?"

"Let it go!"

"New doors will open."

"It's a guarantee."

"Barriers?"

"Break them!"

"Let's make history."

"The future is ours."

"Pain?"

"Let it go!"

"New doors will open."

"It's a guarantee."

"There may be many barriers."

"Break them down!"

"When time comes."

"Everything will fall in place."

Looks like we can handle two more projects now!

They're my breed, sir!

"Sweat it out, work hard."

"Run towards victory, my friend."

"He's an unemployed graduate."

"Touch him and he'll galvanise you."

- "He's an unemployed." - "An unemployed."

"Graduate." - "Graduate."

"Touch him and he'll galvanise you." - "He'll galvanise you."

"I'm the king. I'm the future"

"I'm the history that cannot be understood. I'm invincible."

"I'm the king."

"I'm the future."

"I'm the history that cannot be understood."

"I'm invincible." - "VIP."

- Hey, Softie Pants! - Call me Softie Pants again and--

Oh God. It's pissing you off? Softie Pants!

Softie Pants, first you need to play board games.

And then you play hopscotch.

After that, you play girls' games like kho-kho and throw ball.

But if you want to start playing WWF straightway...

...you'll bruise your face, right?

On top of this, you said over the phone that you're the villain!

I burst out laughing.

Look, you don't look like a villain to me.

No matter how hard I try!

- Hey. - It's okay.

You paid my labourers are stopped them from working.

There are things that money can't buy.

Like the bonding between students, friendship, love--

You wouldn't know!

You grew up in a refrigerator.

Do you know who you're talking to?

Do you know who I am? Do you know who my father is?

You don't know your father's name?

- What kind of family is that! - I don't know.

I don't like his face I'm going to work.

Okay, sir.

Why do you flaunt your daddy's name so much?

Earn a name for yourself, won't you?

You beggar! What would you know about class?

Softie Pants.

If I take your family name away, you are a nobody.

I may be a beggar. But I have my own identity.

- "VIP." - "I'm the king."

- "VIP." - "I'm the future."

"VIP."

"I'm the history that cannot be understood."

- "VIP." - "I'm invincible."

Bloody hell!

Hey, send the brats, goons, henchmen there.

Break the legs, hands, faces...

- ...of all the labourers there. - Don't.

- Let's consult father. - I said send them.

- Will you get them thrashed by goons? - You think I'm a coward?

What are you thinking?

You say I'm a coward?

You say I'm a coward?

- I didn't say anything. - Do what I said.

When are you going to buy cheap materials from China?

Tomorrow.

I'm trusting you. Be careful.

I don't know if my wife has packed for the China trip I'll just make the call.

Talk to her!

I left my phone behind in the table. Give me yours.

- I'll make a call to home. - Here, sir.

Your wife packs for you? Nice.

What is this!

- I dial my wife, and it says GF? - Really?

GF stands for girlfriend?

Sir! Golden Flower, sir.

What's golden flower?

Thangapushpam, in English.

Why have you stored my wife's number?

Just in case of emergencies!

What emergency!

In case of your emergencies, sir.

You can't store my wife's number without my permission!

Can't I store my sister's number, sir?

This one says. Anita madam is like his mother.

And this one says my wife Thangapushpam is his sister.

But they don't look like very good people!

Sir, you're actually speaking that out loud.

Sorry, Raghuvaran. Sorry, brother.

- I will get down. - That's all right.

It's okay. Come.

I thought he was looking at the plan in his laptop.

But he was chatting with some chick!

I'm seeing the plan. Come and see.

Hey, stop the work! See what's going on. Go and check.

I'll break your bones! Stop the work.

I don't want to see anyone here. Get lost!

Hey!

Hey, who are those people?

They are beating every one for no reason.

Hit them!

You can't hit anyone as long as this band is around your arm.

Get him!

Sir, there's a huge riot in Perungalathur.

I don't know who they are.

They're beating us up! Please come here soon.

Cases of excessive bleeding this way.

Don't block the way. Move aside!

- I'm checking blood pressure, doctor. - Is it normal?

I drew some cash out of the bank.

But Anitha madam had already settled the bills.

Don't worry, uncle.

- Nothing bad will happen. - I know nothing is going to happen!

He's been beat up. And there's blood all over his face.

Even I have never hit him!

He always does the wrong things! Ever since childhood.

When so many people are attacking...

...he should have just removed that band and hit them back.

I can't stand his mommy sentiment!

I've checked all the boys.

None of them are hurt too bad.

Just minor bruises in the heads, fractured hands.

But Anand.. is in critical condition.

He's in the I.C.U.

They say we might even lose him.

Sir, careful!

You're not answering to the media. You should give a statement.

What statement? What should I say?

Everyone left their towns and families to come and work for me.

Those who are in power needn't help us, but we were poked and prodded!

Engineers are doomed to get beaten up by politicians and goons and corporates.

There are 3,217 engineering colleges, did you know that?

5,00,000 students pass out every year.

Only 40,000 of them get jobs.

What about the others?

We find ourselves jobs and there are people to sabotage that, too.

First, it was the have-nots that stole from the haves.

Now why are you stealing from those who don't have?

You're stealing the rights, the handwork, opportunities and his whole life.

How many of you have finished engineering and carrying a mic around now?

- Sir. - Shut up!

Tell us who is responsible!

I'm not naming anyone here.

Why should I?

So that they can come back and break the remaining limbs?

No, thank you.

Such a big incident took place. What should we publish?

Write that we all got together and tripped and fell at once.

Just write that. It'll be perfect. Let's go.

- Sir. - Sir.

Sir, they are requesting us so much. Why don't you reveal the truth?

There are thousand ways to worsen the problem.

But there's only one way to put an end to it.

I struggle for 40 years and you bring this company down because of your stupidity.

One mistake on top of the other!

You've played with my company like it's one of your remote control cars.

It was my fault to trust you with this company so easily.

You are not fit.

No, dad It won't become an issue.

He would have realised our power now.

That's why he didn't even tell our name in the press.

The beatings would have scared them.

The would have run away.

Sir, a Raghu has come to meet you.

Ask him to come.

Yes. What can I do for you?

You must be know everything. Your son had my men attacked.

You're mistaken. My son didn't do that.

I came here because I thought you might be an honourable man.

Your son should come and apologise to my men.

My son apologise to your men?

I said he didn't do anything.

Father and son are both sissies.

Who did you call a sissy?

Third class. Yeah, I got those men to hit you.

What can you do about it?

Kid, when elders are talking, you should be quiet.

If my boys had wanted it, they could have taken down you and your office.

They want to do the right thing. Don't make them do the wrong thing.

I didn't mention your name to the press.

I don't want to prolong this issue.

I want to end it.

Trying to scare me?

This is a big place. You should watch what you say.

You quote 400 crores for a 200 crore government project...

...and loot them of 200 crores.

And grow richer You call this a big place?

Loot the money? We did it with intelligence.

You need skill to do that.

Stealing has become a skill now?

I don't need to answer you.

- Get out. - Ask your son to apologise.

He won't go.

I will take him by force.

What the--

You'll touch my son!

Try to hit him Hit him!

I told you I'll hit him and you keep asking me to hit him!

I'm telling you that your son has hit my men and a boy's life is in danger.

You're being cocky with me?

What are you looking at?

Your dad said to hit and I did.

Think I couldn't have done this in the first place?

I thought you'd be dignified, that we can talk fairly.

My mother asked me not to hit anyone when she tied this around my wrist.

But if she'd been around today, she would have hit you, too.

Pray that the boy struggling for his life should make it.

If he doesn't, even god can't save your lives.

You come in here and hit my son right before my eyes?

You fool!

You barging in here, hitting my son...

...creating a ruckus has been recorded in my security camera.

I will file a case against you and you'll never build anything in this life.

This is a jammer.

No electronic device works when this is on. My boys designed it.

This is a HD camera.

Until I switched this on before hitting him...

...everything that you and your son spoke has been recorded.

The video has already reached the boys through the transmitter.

If your son doesn't apologise to my men within the next one hour.

I'll upload this one youtube.

And personally hand a copy to every media channel.

I hope you're not as stupid as your son.

What are you doing here?

You're hurt! Go lie down inside.

- It's hot in there. - What's the score?

- They lost. - The girl in yellow dress is beautiful.

We are not able to smoke in the hospital.

Stop playing with the wheelchairs!

- Please give me your number. - I've given you my Facebook ID.

- Don't ask for phone number. - But I won't be able to hear your voice.

Thank you.

Just say the word and the boys will handle it.

Hitting back is wrong.

It's not like he'll come to apologise.

He is coming.

Do it quickly.

Sorry.

Hey! Anand is saved!

Doctor says he's out of danger.

- Stop crying. - Hey.

He hit me in front of you.. you stood like a statue.

Then you wanted me to apologise-- Aren't you ashamed.

What you want me to do? You wronged him.

You could have a word with me.. Nothing this big. Shit.

He took my whole history with his camera.

I don't know who and all has it.

If it came out then my name. My company.

Forget everything and get back to work.

What?

Your son is sitting and crying.. you keep talking about your company.

If it comes to my company or you, I will prefer my company.

Minister will be here in an hour Where is Raghu?

He said he'd go to the temple and come.

- Thank you, mother. - Did you call Raghu?

I did, sis-in-law, he's leaving home in 5 minutes.

Are you sure he's coming in this route?

- The same route, sir. - Are you sure?

Yes, sir.

I'm giving you all thirty seconds.

Apologise to me and my scooter for hitting me.

Or else?

I will hit you.

Start the car!

Start the car!

What? He's coming. Start the car.

Get down. Get down.

Don't do this.

It's wrong.

You shouldn't do this. Okay?

- Take your shirt off. - I will leave you alone.

You know who my father is?

- Let me go. I won't bother you. - Take your shirt off.

Hold this.

What is your problem?

Your parents didn't raise you right.

- Tell me, what is your problem? - Nothing.

Nothing.

- You want me to lose? - No.

I have lost, okay?

- Are you happy now? - It's not like that.

What is it like, then?

- We don't have any issues, right? - No, I won't--

- Sure? - Yes.

- Sure? - Yes.

Here. Wear the shirt. Come on.

I'm sorry if I did something wrong.

- Okay? - No, it was my fault. Sorry.

I'm going for the building opening ceremony. Will you join me?

No, I don't want to.

- Come, it'll be fun. - No.

- What? - Okay.

- Where are you going? - The car--

My legs--

- Sit properly! - Sorry.

That's okay.

Why did you bring him? It'll become an issue.

No, he's our guy. Won't be a problem.

- Great, sir. - Thank you very much, sir.

- Bless you, dear. - Thank you.

- Thank you. - Bless you.

Thank you very much, sir.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Why are you late? - It's nothing.

Father, you know him. Don't you?

Dad, you know him? Arun Subramaniam . Go. Go inside.

- Sir, thank you. - Hello.

Thank you.

Congrats, Raghuvaran.

- I'm so happy for you. - Thank you.

- Greetings. - Greetings, sir.

Greetings!

Greetings, leader!

Greetings, brother!

Is this adulterated, too?
