How did you get the money?

With the money you gave me
I broke the piggy bank

I don't wear such flashy sarees, dear

You are doctor's grandma
So you have to wear such sarees

Understand?

"You are my yearning, dearie"

"You and I make a circle called we"

"You are my heartbeat's future"

'My dear ladies and gentlemen voters'

Vote for circle symbol, madam

Give them a sweet

Baby, which grade are you in?

6th standard

- What do you want to become?
- Doctor

Very good

Ask your grandma to vote for me

I'll make you a doctor

- Make you pass without the NEET exam!
- Just shut up

'In Pillar Rock area
in our Kodaikanal hill town'

Ammachi, vote for that uncle
He said he'll make me a doctor

You can't become a doctor
based on whom I vote for

I see!

Grandma, why are you doing this?

For heaven's sake
get down from that tree

We can gather honey from
any boulder or some other mountain

Why should you hang on to this tree?

Stop yelling at me

I'll teach you how to gather honey
without smoking the hive, just watch me

Pay attention to what I do next, okay?

You must cling to the tree
like seconds skin

Tighten your legs around the tree

Must hang the bucket
on the left side

Without shaking the bee hive
take out the knife gently

'Slowly slit through the hive'

Aiyo! Ammachi

Did you learn this art?

Okay, I got it
You climb down now

Will your grandfather slit the rest?

Take this and give it
in Henry's shop

Hey! Why are you going that way?

A pack of wild dogs
are roaming near Singaparai

Dinesh told me
I won't take the risk

Will you take a circuitous route?

I am scared

Scared?

- Hold this
- What for?

If wild dogs
snarl at you on the way

Shout out to them
'I am Veerathayi's granddaughter'

One slash this way
Another whip that way

What?
Like this?

Or like that?

Or like this and that?

I'll show you exactly
about this and that

You are a handful of-

Listen, girl

- Watch your step
- "You are my cuppycake"

"Gumdrop
Snoogums-boogums"

Don't break my bee-flask

That's my only keepsake
in memory of your mother

I know that

"You are my honey bunch, sugar plum"

Careful

'Okay'

Hey wild dogs

I am Veerathayi's granddaughter

If you try attacking me

I'll rip you apart

Beware! Stick on to that fear

'Ammachi...grandmaaaaa!'

'Ammachiiii'

'Amma-'

Grandmaaaa...help!

Grandmaa

GRANDMA

Ammachi

Grandm-

[horse neighing]

'My hand'

'Shit!'

[horse neighing]

Fresh meat

'Ammachiiii'

Ammachiiii

Grandmaa

- Ammachi
- Grandma

- Amma-
- Hey wild dogs!

'I am Veerathayi's granddaughter'

'If you try attacking me'

'I'll rip you apart'

Dude, why don't we get
a steady girlfriend?

- We are bloody pedophiles
- What's that?

We get a rush of adrenalin
when we see beautiful children

Ooooh!

Forest honey is sweeter
than city honey, no?

Dude, my doctor advised me to have
forest honey once a month

Good for health it seems

Please, dude

Weekly once

"Ammaaaaachiii"

"Ammaccchi"

"Ammaccchiiii"

"Ammaccchiiii"

Grandma...!

Wild dog has bitten Sembi

Where?
Where is she?

Aiyo! Don't look
Go away...go

Oh my god!

Oh gawd!

Nurse'amma...nurse

Nurse...sister

- Where is the doctor?
- What happened?

Wild dog has bitten my granddaughter

- I need a doctor
- Casualty is over there

I'll record it in
the accident report

Please attend to her immediately

I've informed and the doctor is coming

Wait outside

Madam...doctor amma

- Start her on IV
- Okay, doctor

Anti inflammatory
Anti bacteria-

Doctor madam, my granddaugh-

- Who is she?
- That girl's grandmother

Oh!

Madam, your granddaughter was
not bitten by a wild dog as claimed by you

- It's a gang rape
- That means...?

Gang rape means 4 men have
sexually abused your grandchild

AIYO!

Women's police station
in Kodaikanal, tell me

I am sister Grace speaking
from Kodaikanal Govt hospital

Tell me, sister

10 year old girl child has been gang raped
Will you take down the details?

'Her name is Sembi'

'Age 10'

- Hello
- DSP Mary here

Yes, madam

A 10 year old has been
gang raped in Puliyur

Okay, madam

We got a report from
Govt hospital in Kodaikanal

Only women police usually
handle such cases, madam

I am well aware of that

'Lady inspector in that station
is pregnant it seems'

'She has taken medical leave
and will join duty later'

The sub inspector is with me now
on 'bandobast' duty for our Chief Minister

It will take 10 days
for us to return

- I need a favor
- Tell me, madam

That child is unconscious it seems

Go to the hospital and take
a statement from the victim's guardian

- Okay, madam
- Visit the crime spot

- Start ground investigation
- Alright, madam

After I return, we can
file the First Information Report

Okay, madam

'Please drink coffee at least'

No need

- She's that girl's grandmother
- Thank you, sister

Sir...sir

'Listen, grandma'

Doctor informed me
about everything

I felt terrible listening to it

I have a daughter the same age
as your granddaughter

Is that so, sir?

If we go to court
and file a case and all that

The parents are worried
the victim's dignity is at stake

That's why such scumbags
are still roaming free

You grant me permission

I'll nail them

Nallu, shoot a video
of her statement

On 24th morning

'I gathered honey and gave it
to my granddaughter'

"Who is the offender?"

"Who is the sinner?"

"Who is the evildoer?"

Enough, sir
Please stop

Sir, stop...stop playing

How many days
have you been playing?

Past 5 days I've been playing here

Viewers, in order to ensure the victim,
the tribal girl Sembi survives this trauma

They have been playing
for the past 5 days just sitting here!

They believe their playing
will be heard as prayers to God

In the midst of the stir about
the upcoming legislative council election

...will Sembi's problem
remain just as a song?

Or will it spread like wild fire?
Let's wait and watch

Is Sembi's attender here?

'Is Sembi's attender waiting here?'

I'm her attender, sister

Your grandchild is conscious now

- Is that so?
- She's asking for you

How are you, my dear?

Grandma

Please lie down
I'm right here with you

I broke my mother's honey
flask, grandma

Oh my god!

"How can I talk?
I am in total shock"

"Time stands still in strife
How will I move on in life?"

'Hey little sparrow!'

'If you happen to see
my parents, tell them'

'Grandma makes sure I am safe and sound'

"I did not keep up my word to you"

"You trusted me through and through"

- 'Vanakkam', sir
- What brings you here at dawn?

Have you nabbed the offenders, sir?

I'm working on your case
night and day, okay?

When I receive information
about their whereabouts

I'll send for you at once

'Take care of
your granddaughter'

Stop running around

Okay, sir

Would you like a cup of tea?

No, thank you, sir

Okay, take care

"Golden hearted and so innocent"

"You believed in me 100%"

"What can I say?
Words just slip away"

- What is it?
- You said you'll call me when you find out

Did you nab them?

We've just now received
the census camera footage

The whole footage is corrupt it seems

It will take 2 days to
recover the data

Please give me time

When I see their faces on
the camera, I'll myself call you

"My child sweet as honey
Did you forgive me?"

"Or did you punish me?
I don't know, dearie"

Aatha, why don't you
move in to my office?

Only then you'll know
who I work for

I'll come, sir

Are you being funny?

I really don't know
how to make you understand

I feel bad knowing you walk
all the way here so often

You said as soon as you see
their faces on camera you'll call me

You didn't call me
That's why I'm here

Didn't I tell you only yesterday
it will take 2 days to recover the footage?

I'll get it only tomorrow evening

I'll send word immediately
to bring you over

Don't keep walking
up and down like this, okay?

Okay

"Your scars will heal complete
as time pulls you up on your feet"

"The pain will fade eventually
Step by step, gradually"

"The gruesome scene
your eyes have seen"

"Will blow with the wind tattered"

"Swing in my mind shattered"

Sir...?

- Good morning, sir
- Yes, sir

They will be in court at 10:30

Aatha, I told you we'll get
the footage only in the evening

You are here in the morning

I couldn't sleep, sir

We can identify the culprits
looking at the video

I'll nab and bring them
straight to your house, okay?

If you feel like
talking to me urgently

Call me in this number

Don't keep roaming around

Hello, Masilamani

- 'Tell me, madam'
- Any updates on Sembi's case?

Madam, I have collected
all the evidence from the crime spot

- Received all the CCTV footages
- 'Okay'

The child has also got discharged

'Fine'

I'll go this morning to the victim's house
and file a statement after enquiry

- I'm done with security duty here
- 'Okay, madam'

I'll be there tomorrow morning
We can file the FIR immediately

Okay, madam

'News snippets'

'In the sexual assault case
of the 10 year old tribal girl Sembi'

'Minorities claim the Govt has not taken
proper steps to nab the culprits'

'Thereby causing deep disappointment'

'That child carried a bee-flask
containing honey'

'She was running to the shandy
to sell the honey'

At that time 3 lust-maniacs
came out of nowhere

Grabbed her forcefully

Played havoc on that tender body

Cast aside the leftovers and ran away

'Long live!
Chief Minister'

'Long live!'

'Ezhil Vendan is sharing child Sembi's
story for his campaign and gaining empathy'

'People seem to be favoring him'

Why haven't you commented
about this traumatic incident?

You have already mentioned
he's spinning a yarn

Instead of spinning tales on the stage

He is better off producing a film!

Move away

I heard you wanted to see me, dad

I sent for you days ago
and you're coming today?

I was on a trip to Western Ghats trip
visiting Gujarat and Goa

Went to Kerala and when we were descending
from Kodaikanal, I was told you are here

That's why I came to see you

That's why you're here

There's a talk in our party about
giving you an important post

Election is just round the corner

Until then wrap up your act
and show your Jekyll side

- Leader
- Yuck!

I'm your ardent volunteer

I'll give my life for you, sir

You wear this garland
and lie down on a bier!

Sir, don't forget Sembi's case

By the way in the referendum
232 zones have been predicted for us

Not just 232 constituencies,
my dear lawyer!

I want to win 234
The whole lot, in toto

Using that child's tender fingers

I'll remove the bricks
one by one, from his foundation

[crowd cheering]

Hello...?

How was the honey, bro?

- Which honey?
- Mountain honey!

I don't get it

Shall I tell you in a way
you will understand?

Taking the agonized screams
of the young tribal girl Sembi as example

Our Chief Minister claims
I'm good at telling stories!

Time has come to introduce
the characters in that story

On 24th at 10:00 a.m

On top of Singaparai
near the panchayat town Puliyur

'A car with number plate
TN06 JB7726 drove past'

'That was captured in
Tiger census camera # 01'

'Then many beer cans
and cigarette stubs'

Became incriminating evidence in camera #02

'At that time a young girl
carrying a flask of honey was accosted'

'Those scenes of hide & seek
and grab and gratify'

Played into the lens of camera #03

Finally

'Action sequence, climax'

'All these scenes were shot
and captured in camera # 04'

Understanding, bro?

Hello, do you know who I am?

Hey! I'm calling you only to protect
your identity, nitwit, hang up now'

Hello...hello...?

I'll unmask the culprits
and hang them on a noose

'Friends, the night before the incident'

Haven't you left yet?

'Youth Wing meeting
was held in Puliyur'

- 'It ended up in booze and revelry'
- I'm talking to you, heard me?

What happened?
Why haven't you left?

Uncle, we got drunk in Kodaikanal
and accosted a young gir-

Get into the car

Give me that inspector's mobile #

[mobile ringing]

Hello...?

I'm lawyer Rajamurthy here

Go ahead

I am Rajamurthy, lawyer for
opposition leader Ezhil Vendan

Oh! That shooting party?

I believe you told the boys
some story about honey, camera, scene?

Not a story, sir

I have edited it as a movie
Want to come and watch?

'Let me know about your arrival in advance
I'll have a snack-spread out for you

What if I don't want to watch?

I'll release on OTT worldwide
You can watch it on your cell phone

'Among them, those who were
punished for their crimes'

'Tally only up to 33%'

Why did you disconnect
while I was still talking?

Because you didn't know how to talk!

How much are you expecting?

Multistar movie

If I hand it over to
the opposite channel

Box office collection will be huge

'Will you do it?'

When it comes to business
my job ethics is perfect!

1 crore per head

3 crores for the 3 boys

Aren't you asking for too much?

Blah blah blah-ing

What did you say?

I was talking about banana, sir

Shouldn't bananas be crisp as chips?

'Not slush and slimy like clay'

- 'Correct, sir?'
- Deal okay

This is sharp, sir

How do we collect the evidence?

I'll text you my a/c number
Transfer 50% immediately

Tell me where to give the evidence
I'll do the needful

I'll take the balance amount
after closing the case

How will you close the case?

Victim's guardian is an old lady

I've only taken a statement from her

'I haven't filed any FIR till now'

Tomorrow I'll get a signature
on a blank sheet from that lady

I'll close the case claiming
wild dogs attacked the girl

What if the old lady doesn't comply?

I'll close her chapter!

Good night, sir

Hello...hello...?

- Sir, buttermilk?
- No 'mor'

- Do you have milk pudding?
- Yes, sir

- 1 minute
- Sir?

You will gang up
and poison me

I am fine

I'm leaving

- Hello, Shanthi madam
- 'Tell me, sir'

I've sent you 3 piggy banks
Please put '1 coin' in each

Totally 3 Cs!

'Okay, sir
Which constituency?'

'Sir, hello?'

For Pazhani

Whose pocket are you filling
with whose dad's money?

Instead of hacking him to pieces!

Hack him and then what?
Your C grade video be shown in every corner

For your appa to
be stoned to death?

15 crores per constituency

234 constituencies

Almost 35 billion

Your dad has spent all his money
and is now in a winning position

If he loses this election

That's it, game over

Everyone will lick everything

There won't be any left over to even lick!

Hack him it seems

Raping a little girl, you scumbags!

'Friends, #Justice for Sembi'

Make it trend

As soon as I occupy the seat of power
my first signature will be

'The ruthless guilty scumbags
who ruined that innocent girl's life'

'The noose will tighten around their necks'

I promise you this

I swear

Promise

You heard your father's speech now, right?

If only he comes to know this truth-

The three of you will be in your grave

Sembi

My dear child
What happened?

What is the matter, my precious?

Why did those brothers
fight with me?

Aiyo!

Please help me, I don't know
how I can explain to this child

Lie down, my child

I am so scared, grandma

Don't worry
You are safe with me

'We can identify the culprits
looking at the video'

'I'll nab and bring them
straight to your house, okay?'

You couldn't find them, sir?

What?

Wait, let me get out

If I nab them
first I have to arrest them

Remand them to custody
Take them to court

Then trial has to be faced

You were the one who said
you will bring them here

I said it at that time
to console you

I searched thoroughly
at the crime spot

I couldn't find a single
scrap of evidence

I checked all the tiger census
cameras fixed over there

Their faces haven't been caught anywhere

I think they planned this to a T
and then coolly escaped

What do we do now, sir?

I've been breaking my head over it

I've seen many cases like this

Not a single case has
got the right judgment

Wanting to put them behind bars

If you and I file a case and
run from pillar to post

They will drag it for years
greasing palms to get adjournments

'By then you'll get old and die'

I'll move on to the next case
and I have my family to take care

Then our little girl

What will she do?

She'll be stranded
in the middle of the road

'Do you want all this to happen?'

I feel I'm seeing my daughter
when I look at her face

'This child should be happy'

That's why I've come here
to help you personally

I want to give you
this cash of Rs 50,000

Accept this amount

Sign this document and
withdraw your case

'Do you understand?'

Take your granddaughter and
move to Theni or Kambam

Admit her in a good school over there

She wants to become a doctor

Educate her well
Focus on that

If you stay behind
in this town instead

People here will gossip about this
all the time like cud chewing cows!

Don't think too much
Take my advice and sign

If you are bribing me
and asking me to close this case

Then do you know the culprits, sir?

I know, my dear
They have a lot of clout

My hands are tied
I can't bring them to justice

Sign here, dear

Sir, if you are unable
to do the needful

I'll go to your higher authorities

Even they cannot do anything

They will send you to the Collector

The present Collector is a North Indian

He won't understand our language

Don't get muddled up
Simply sign now

Language is not important
for truth to be known

My pain is enough

Your truth won't fetch you
even 1 glass of tea

Sign and be done with it

I won't sign, sir

The culprits who reduced
my granddaughter to this plight

They have to be punished
and locked up behind bars

Until then I won't let go, sir

You can leave

HEY! I'M TELLING YOU
LIKE I'M TEACHING A PARROT

Why are you coming up
with needless retorts?

Do you know the background of
the boys involved in this act?

'If they come here
with their clout and connections'

They will wipe you and your granddaughter
like an used tissue and go

If you go to my higher ups

Will they bring the Collector here
to see you, to this goddamn gutter?

Will you throw
them also in jail?

'Will you get them punished too?'

To fill half your stomach
with porridge once a day

You are a worthless female
who sells honey and potatoes for pittance

'Do you think you can
go to court umpteen times?'

If I treat you as equal
will you dance on my head?

'Left-over lout!'

Listen to me, old hag

Even if you live in this hill town
for 5 generations

...you can't see this kind of money

'Why are you staring at me?'

Sign, take the cash
and take your granddaughter away

Even if I die I won't sign

Won't you sign before she dies?

Ammachi!

'Sign on that paper'

'I'll strangle her to death'

Sign -

'Get out, da'

Cunning female!

Deserve to die

Ammachi!

Grandma

Old hag-

You are dead now

'I'll strangle her to death'

Let go of my grandma

Let go of her

Let go of my grandma

Ammachi

Let me go

Let go

My neck

Let go of me

'I'll make sure you die today'

You deserve to die

'Grandma'

I trusted you

Die...you have to die

I trusted you, didn't I?

'Sembi'

My dear Sembi

Sembi

My dear child

Ammachi

You'll be alright
Don't be scared

It hurts so bad

'Grandma'

Ammachi, it hurts

It hurts terribly, grandma

You'll be fine
Don't worry

I can't bear the pain, grandma

You'll be fine

Please help me

Did you get any leads?

Sir has brought this file
when he came for interrogation, madam

I found this wad of notes here

Ajay, keep it in the locker
in our station

Okay, madam

- Is she the victim's guardian?
- Yes, madam

- Who saw the hurt inspector first?
- He's outside, madam

- Call him
- I'll bring him

'Sir, come here'

Is this the same grandmother?

Yes, madam

- Which side did they run?
- Down this slope

Point it to us

They went this side, madam

'Did you check if that old lady
has any relatives on this side?'

I have asked everyone here

She doesn't have any kith and kin
in this place or in the surrounding hills

Don't miss any boulder, cave, rivulet
surrounding this ravine

Alert the Kerala-Karnataka border gates

Seal the 5 routes
descending from Kodaikanal

Don't leave out any place
Cover bus stand, market

Check all the vehicles
leaving from there

Okay, madam

All our men have gone out of town
for 'bandobust' for election campaigns

Shall we call the military for help?

Don't give me reasons, Ajay

Form 4 teams

Search all directions
East, west, north, south

I want that old lady
in front of me in 1 hour

- It's my order
- Okay, madam

[panting]

Ammachi

Where are we going now?

I don't know, dear

Please help me

'Anbu'

[whistling]

Hey!

'Stop the bus'

'Dindigul to Kodaikanal'

Sankar, when did I whistle
and when did you stop?

I can't stop in mid forest
like this, boss

'I own this bus, man'

'Then pay me the salary you owe'

You heard me talking
to that damn financier

Every customer is like 1 gram of gold

I'll take in any passenger on 2 legs
wherever they stand

Will you stop for a lion?

A lion has 4 legs

Won't you let hero Suriya
board your bus?

Why will Suriya get into my bus?

What is this?

'I thought 'Singam' Suriya will get in'

'She resembles
the beauty Suriya Devi'

Why is she so breathless?

'Will she take a ticket to heaven
before I give her a ticket?'

[whistling]

Where do you have to go?

How far will this bus go?

Till it gets a flat tyre

Hey! Shut up and just drive

Till Dindigul

- 2 tickets
- Rs 170

Okay, grandma

Here

'Ages since I touched you, darling'

You are my 1st passenger

I'll return the balance
when we reach the bus stand

You'll return the balance, eh?

'Don't reply to his snide remark, Anbu'

- Sir, good morning
- Morning

Don't mess up like you did at
the conference in Vizhupuram

- I'll need cash
- We'll manage that

Why are you in uniform, Mr Lawyer?

Sir, we have 2 cases today

I came to get your signature
and head to the court

Okay...okay

The hashtag we tweeted yesterday

#JusticeforSembi

Like wildfire gone viral, sir

- 'Hey Tamizh
- Yes, da'

Ask the mime teams to form a circle
Ask them to keep the placards ready

'Kodaikanal Municipality
welcomes you'

[whistling]

- Bro, where are you going?
- Salem

Why don't you go to Dindigul?

- Salem is my home town!
- Then please go ahead

- Crazy chap!
- I must buy a whistle by this evening!

If they find out my finger is
saliva-covered, I'm dead meat then!

Perumalkulam, Vathalagundu, Dindigul

'Raju, bet on this
Natraj is sure to win'

No way, Balu

You say this every time

Okay, Balu, I'm leaving for Dindigul

If Kadhir comes
ask him to call me

Bala'nna, I'm going to Dindigul
Be back in 3 days

Save my 3 days dues
and give me the cash

'Money'

'Integrity'

- Grandma
- What, dear?

Feeling very thirsty, ammachi

'Police down down'

Boys, leave now

Are you deaf or what?

This isn't a political protest

- Do you have permission?
- We are college students

Grandma

Please don't leave me and go

I'm so scared

My dear child
Until I get back

You shouldn't get off the bus, okay?

Please come back soon, grandma

Madam, give me a water bottle

There's a ban of 1 litre bottle
all over Kodaikanal

- You can only get 5 litres

- Is it this way?
- Yes, madam

Hi whitees

Youth showing their anger only in Twitter
all along are now performing street dance!

This white dog is asking
to be thrashed!

- Hey! He's the leader
- Leader?

Think you can talk utter rubbish?

- Mullai, please
- 'How dare you!'

Sorry, Mullai, please hear me out

Trash your damn sorry

'Don't ever see me again'

'Forget everything'

Don't call me again

Let's break up

Tell me, bro

'I'll be back by this evening'

Will call after I reach home

'Okay, see you'

Listen, dear
Sister...?

Sorry, bro

'Where are you going?'

Dai! Conductor, come here

Why this lack of respect?

I don't know to speak
without the 'da' as suffix!

Sorry, da

- Okay, da
- How dare you show disrespect to me!

Both your lives are in danger

Take extra precautions

- Did you check?
- Yes

- Thoroughly?
- Not in there

Okay, let's go

"We shall nab the demon of lust
Bite his Adam's apple, we must"

"We will wipe out this inhuman beast
We shall end our hunt appeased at least"

"Burn leftover limbs to embers gladly"

I was so scared

"We will snuff his breath of lewdness"

Driver, start the bus

"Demon of lust we shall nab
Bite his Adam's apple, stab"

"We will wipe out this inhuman beast
We shall end our hunt appeased at least"

"Burn leftover limbs to embers gladly
Fling remains as ashes into the sea"

"The lewd reptile we'll punch to a paste"

If the bus had stopped there
any longer, my ears would've bled

- True that
- What a cacophony!

Driver, play a melodious song

Driver, will you please turn off the song?

One says play a song
Another says stop

Sir, is the agony and angst of others
sound like screams of annoyance to you?

Let the distressed lot go and
scream where it should be heard

Why are they creating
a ruckus in a public place?

They have done their bit
in the right places

'It fell on deaf ears'

- So?
- All ears are plugged!

Only if they do a rally like this
will their voices be heard

'In your dreams!'

Sir, what are you eating?

Jack fruit, do you want?

How did you buy it?

An old lady on the road
was screaming out for me to buy

'I bought it from her'

What a stupid question!

- Because she screamed you bought, right?
- So?

If she had covered the fruit
with a plate and sat in one corner

The fruit would have gone rancid
He and his mud between his ears!

Same analogy holds good
for our country

Fair play, justice, integrity
have been covered and cast aside

We need to scream every now and then
for those virtues to come out in the open

If we shout, will all those virtues
open their eyes to reality?

Mind your business

I don't know if they will
bloom or blossom

It's enough if 4 people
who heard their cries start thinking

- 4 will become 40
- 40 will grow to 400

Entire country will blaze
in that enlightenment!

Dust bin fair play
Trash can justice

'Labeling protests by scumbags
as revolution!'

'Jobless junk-heads!'

Who are all emotionally stirred
by the song you heard in the bus stand?

You got the answer!

Driver, please play a song

Sir, this is constable Muthusamy here

'I left a little late'

'I'll call as soon as I reach Vathalagundu'

'White dog listeners'

'The contest of play a song
or don't play has stopped playing'

'But a little bird tweets
it will spread like wildfire'

'So let's wait and watch, listeners'

"You are my honey bunch"

"You are-"

'My dear mother, why are you
huffing and puffing like this?'

You'll always be on time
Why are you late today?

Had to cook for
20 extra persons, son

'That's why I got delayed'

20 people?
Who are they?

Yesterday at Seven Hills bus stop

College kids enacted a road-skit
on that young girl's gang rape

It sent shivers down my spine
from my head to toe you know

My heart bleeds for that child
thinking of her trauma at that tender age

'How is that linked to you cooking
for 20 extra people?'

Our colony residents and Selvi served food
for those who took part in the play

Selvi said they're staging
the play at the bus stand today

'Good hearted souls!'

They are screaming their throats dry
for justice for a 10 year old girl child

- No one to even serve them water
- Already late

They are gossiping here

'I believe 2 boys fainted
in that protest yesterday'

'That's why I thought let me do
what little I can for this cause'

'Woke up early, cooked and
I'm taking food for them'

So you emptied quarter sack
of rice you had for your use

You are talking as if you
bought it with your money, son

What is the side dish
you cooked for them?

- Burnt brinjal chutney
- Wait, 1 minute

Buy those youngsters
chips or some other snacks

What is your name?

Manjula

I'll tell them
this is your contribution

Bring the tiffin box back without fail

'Okay, go home safe, ma'

Hello, green shirt?

- Did you hear that?
- No, I didn't

That lady 4 streets away heard it!

How could you not hear?

No, madam

Clogged ears syndrom!

Hey! Taking a dig at me?

When I asked if anyone heard the song
all of you zipped your lips

Now you tell me a lady heard
4 streets away it seems!

Madcaps!

Bro, why are you squabbling
over an incident that didn't happen?

Didn't happen?

Yes, conductor

There was no rape at all

'Then what about the breaking news?'

On 24th morning

- Sembi was selling honey
- 'Okay'

- Especially now is the season
- 'Yes'

2 men came up to her

'Asked her the price'

She quoted a high rate

They decided not to buy
as it was too expensive

Couldn't this child have
kept her mouth shut?

'Don't even have the means
to buy my honey'

'You roam around dressed tip-top'
She has asked them

'Will they swallow this jibe?'

They got enraged and hit her

'What happened then?'

'Honey flask broke
and that child fell down'

This was fabricated as news
adding ears, nose, mouth to it

Opponent party used it
to their advantage

- Not knowing this fact, everyone is-
- Hello Mr Politics

- What?
- Did you watch this at close quarters?

Am I jobless or what?

I don't have enough time
to serve the people

Then who saw it?

Our fruit shop Balu was a witness

Fruit shop Balu was watching that girl
instead of taking care of his shop?

- Balu was keeping an eye on his fruits
- Okay

'Line man Selvam saw this'

And he shared it with Balu

- That's it
- Oh!

That means line man Selvam was
watching the girl instead of the line!

Bro, I don't know if Selvam
watched while he was on duty

Or where, when, what
I don't know those details

That cowherd
What's his name?

Madasamy told line man Selvam, that's all

Oh! Then even Maadasamy
wasn't grazing his cows

Was staring at the line man, huh?

Yes....hey!

'No, don't hound me
by cross questioning'

Don't grate me like a coconut

'Allow me to think'

As it is I suffer from chest pain
I have high blood pressure

'Please listen to me, son'

In this area, fruit shop Balu
has credibility and dignity

If he conveys any news
100% it will be true

What, lady?
I'm talking here

You are giggling over there?

'If you have any information on
that child, say it openly'

Aren't you Pushpa akka's husband?

Yes, I'm that precious gem's husband

Our biriyani shop Kumar
and your wife Pushpa'kka

They were caught roaming
around the lake together

What? Near the lake?

Who saw them?

Our boat man Murthy
saw them near the lake

Who? Murthy?

So he wasn't rowing
but watching them?

Not Murthy alone

- Ice cream seller Rajesh also saw
- So Rajesh wasn't selling ice?

He was only watching them, huh?

Not just watched them

But questioned them too!

What did he ask?

He asked them, 'why are you buying
just 1 icecream when there are two of you?'

I believe Pushpa akka replied

'We are 1 soul in 2 bodies'

'1 ice cream will do for us'

'What a lethal bullet!'

Rajesh told you all this crap?

- Not to me
- 'Then?'

- He told our line man Selvam
- 'To Selvam?'

Our Selvam has told fruit shop Balu

Fruit shop Balu told me

Who?

Fruit shop Balu?

He's himself a big fraud
and you're believing him!

Did you say he's a fraud?

'In this area, fruitshop Balu
has credibility and dignity'

'If he conveys any news
100% it will be true'

- You said so
- When did I tell you?

Rascal! I will get even with him

Then what about claiming
the child wasn't raped?

The child was raped
It is a fact, bro

Since this incident was
in favor of the ruling party

We started to twist it
to our advantage

Sorry, bro

Stuff your lipservice sorry

Dai! Liar liar
Pants on fire!

Does your mouth have a tongue
or a flipping 'dosa' ladle?

You're changing every 2nd minute

Listening to your side of the story

'Poor child, so innocent
I thought ill of that tender heart'

We vote for hypocrites like you

We should hit our heads
against a rock!

Yuck! What specimens!

Will you spread awful rumors like this?

- Driver
- 'Yes, constable'

'Stop at the toll gate
I'll get down'

'Okay, sir'

- Hello friend, how are you?
- Good, constable sir

- Is your duty on this side today?
- Yes

From this morning, why are
police jeep and ambulance

...cruising around Kodaikanal?

They held up my bus by 15 minutes
claiming they were checking it

Is it some new terrorist on the run?

- Not that
- Then?

Gang rape of a 10 year old
in Puliyur village, you know?

'Regarding that case'

Yes, I also heard about it

Our inspector Masilamani had gone
to enquire about that case

During the enquiry, inspector and
villagers got into a heated argument

The irate villagers ganged up
and beat him black and blue

- People hit the inspector?
- Yes, friend

He has 18 stitches
on his scalp alone it seems

25 stitches below his neck

He's very critical I believe
Real torture!

Usually he's serious faced
Now his life is in serious condition?

1 minute
Tell me, Muthu

For me?

Okay, I'll take care

'They have sent a photo'

Can I see the photo in this, Anbu?

It's a big deal you could
even talk in this!

How can you see in this?

Why don't you buy a Smart phone?

Don't even ask!

I had 3 phones

All three got flicked
in my own station!

Then imagine our plight!

We don't even have time to
think of our plight!

Whose photo on the phone, sir?

Photo of the accused

'Don't let him escape
if you nab him'

Kill him in an encounter

It isn't a 'he' but a 'she'!

- What are you saying?
- Anbu

The villagers did not
bash up the inspector

Then?

Just one old lady

'I'll take leave'

One old lady?

18 stitches above neck
and 25 below the neck!

Inspector serious

She isn't an old lady

But a bold wild lady

Stop the vehicle

'Vanakkam', sir

Keep moving

Next vehicle, move forward

Keep going

Sir, please keep moving

Don't stop

Go...go

Child?

Grandma

We are getting down now

Why, ammachi?

I'm so scared, grandma

Don't be scared

I'm there for you, let's get down

- Sekar
- 'Sir?'

- First clear the way for ambulance
- 'Yes, sir'

Send them

Come...come

Sekar, did you check the buses?

I came by this bus
Checked already

Go, Anbu, keep moving

'Go...go...go'

Keep moving...go...go

Go...move

'What a creature'

Sitting still, frozen from the beginning
like the raven drenched in the rain

If we had 10 such old ladies in each town
law & order in Tamil Nadu can be saved

Present police stations
can be shut tight

Govt can save money

Sir, if you say 10 old ladies per town

On an average 4 taluks make 1 district

If there are 40 old ladies per district

Tamil Nadu has 38 districts

So 38 x 40 =?

1520

Oh!

So you're saying
if we can find 1520 bold old ladies

Tamil Nadu's law & order can be salvaged!

'And present police stations
can be shut down'

Your planning is superb, Anbu sir

Good

Bro, are you a hard core fan
of Captain Vijaykanth?

You have all the statistics
at your fingertip!

- Conductor
- Sir

Come here

- What, sir?
- Statistics at his fingertips, huh?

Do policemen look like
half baked idiots to you?

Sir, watching and listening to people,
words tend to spill in a flow, no?

Was that in a flow?
You were hitting below the belt

'What did you say?'

If there are 10 old ladies,
law and order can be salvaged, huh?

'I thought they would be
a physical support'

Then shut down the existing police stations

You want Tamil Nadu police to
be care of the sidewalk, without food?

Sir, why are you making a single old
lady's plight as a State issue?

Did I exaggerate??

You are the culprit

Not me, that smart bro
seated over there

Watch me now

Kindly repeat to this sir
whatever you told me now

What did I say?

'Yov...!'

Giving me a first time look?

'Hey...!'

I saw you when I purchased the ticket

I'm talking to you here and
why are you playing with words there?

This Smart Alec played

Played what?

Do you know the problems
we police face?

Hello sir, if we go to the police station
to complain about some issue

Do you know the problems we face?

After struggling to go in
I paid heavily for my loss too

What difficulty and what loss?

My neighbor's dog poops
everyday outside my house

I repeatedly requested them
to put the dog on leash

They never listened

'So I complained
in the police station'

Instead of filing the complaint in 1 sheet

They made me buy 1 quire!

They must have also asked for other
stationery items like pen, pencil, eraser?

Even the ruler to draw the margin!

'I bought that too'

They would've taken your complaint
and shooed you saying they will call you

100% right

That dog must be crapping still
in front of your house, man

Yes, it did not stop shitting!

My wife who never gets angry
flew into a rage

Tweaked my ears and asked me

'If you had given me
that 1 quire paper instead'

'I would have myself wiped that poop daily'

She keeps knocking
on my head with her knuckles

'I can't even massage
my hair with oil!'

- Hey!
- What, da?

Only reason I prefer
to be a bachelor

If that old woman had been like me

'...would this have happened?'

What are you saying?

Conductor

Since that old lady got married

- She became a mother
- Yes

Since her daughter got married

- She has a granddaughter
- Of course

Only then her granddaughter
roamed around in the mountain

That's why she got raped

What logic is this?

- Conductor sir
- Huh?

6 months ago my niece was riding a scooter

Banner of some Party, tied to the median
flew from nowhere and fell on her face

She lost control and fell

A lorry from behind ran over her
and she died on the spot!

So when we lodged a complaint against
the political party that erected the banner

The cops arrested the press owner
who printed the banner!

How is this logic?

I don't understand

- Don't you get it?
- No, I didn't

If I slit your Adam's apple
and eyes with this knife

Sorry, grandma

- Police won't arrest me
- Then?

They will arrest the bladesmith
who made this knife!

Why won't they arrest the owner?

Owner would have
greased many palms, right?

Is this the norm, bro?

If you don't question anything,
worse things will happen

What more is left to happen?

Policemen who are least bothered
about a child rape case

Are searching for an old lady
as if she's a terrorist!

'Times are so cruel!'

'In the upcoming
Legislative Council election'

'Kindly cast your precious votes to-'

Police officer

Grinding stone symbol

Aren't you going
in search of that old lady?

If I don't get my hands on her

I'll murder you!

'Why will you kill me?'

'Why are they on a rampage like this?

- Conductor, did you hear that?
- 'Pain in the neck'

Yes, I heard

Grinding stone symbol

Bro, can an old lady beat up
an inspector so badly that he's critical?

I can't digest that

Some chap disguised as an old lady
must have bashed him up

You know the next move?
Due to pressure from the higher-ups

'If an old lady like her
is sleeping in any bus stand'

They will grab her by the neck like a hen
and close the case in one swing

Grandma

Madam

You are responding
15 minutes after I called you

How can you be so dimwitted?

Listen, don't get off without my permission

If you get caught, they'll close the case
saying you are the lady they are hunting!

'Am I clear?'

'Pretend as if you heard'

'I blew the conch I had to!'

What world are we in?

They have hidden the rape case
of an innocent child

And how disgusting! Magnifying the case
of an inspector being bashed up

Did I hear you say
the police force is disgusting?

- If you utter the word 'police' once more
- 'I am asking you'

I'll hit you with an old sandal

Hey! I'm asking you

Will you hit us with an old sandal?

Don't I have the right
to hit my own mouth?

Do it with all your strength

You know who is fighting
for his life after being accosted?

A police officer

A rowdy old lady has bashed him

How dare you all support her!

'He's called 'honest' Masilamani'

If an old lady had no option but to
hit him, what was the provocation?

'What else do you expect?'

'He would've expected a bribe
to close the case'

She would've refused and retaliated

Would he have asked for money from a clan
that has never seen 10 or 20 rupee notes?

Then why did he go to
that grandma's house after a week?

Correct questi-

My sandal will speak!

What else?
Only for compromise

You are talking as if you were
closely associated with this case?

Yes, no action was taken even after
1 week of lodging the complaint

My brother-in-law's brother-in-law
is secretary to Chief Secretary in Chennai

'I went and met him'

'In my second information report'

He asked me to add
just one sentence

Attempt to murder
by sending a dog to bite

I added brackets front and back
and gave the report to him

Next day just 1 phone call
from Chief Minister's cell

Before the dog could poop in the morning
the cops would've come to your doorstep

100% that's exactly what happened

'Sabaash!'

What?

- Bravo, huh?
- No, I meant

Subash...Suba-

What's your problem with
the police department?

- 'Sandal'
- Sorry, sir

Uncle, you won't stop until
the verdict favors you or the dog

- Continue
- Surely

So the mongrels who raped that child

The inspector went to support
those scumbags and got bashed up, right?

Yes, he had gone for a compromise
on behalf of the accused

Our grandma lost her cool
and bashed up that fool!

Sir, stop supporting her
without knowing the facts

Do you know who her clan is?

They cultivate poisonous mushrooms,
plant cannabis around Kodaikanal

They smuggle red sandalwood
It is the main occupation of that clan

We know because we go on raids

Not only that, sir

Revenue officer and I went to
a mountain village to take a survey

We opened a biscuit packet
because we were hungry

'Around 10 or 15 girls'

Came running behind our car
asking us to buy them something

When we said there's nothing in the shop

They said 'at least give us money'

Because they were begging
we gave them Rs 5 as alms

They flung it on our face

And demanded 50 bucks!

Really cheapos

'Tahsildar got really tense'

Sir, if you had given them Rs 500
they would've come to your guest house!

'That's how they make a living'

This is how that old lady helped her
granddaughter into the car and bid her tata

Something violent has happened
at the place she went and she was hurt

That old lady used this to bargain
more money from them

They didn't comply

'In order to extort money'

Immediately she called
her granddaughter

And misguided her

Registered a false case too

The inspector who knew the truth
went straight to her house

Told her 'you sent
your granddaughter willingly'

'And so this can't be
considered a rape case'

'The old lady was shocked'

Realised he knew the truth and
was upset she can't extort money

So she hit him and escaped

'Immoral woman!'

Not sure which chap
she is colluding with now

'Not knowing these facts
you are justifying her cause'

If only I get hold
of that old lady

I'll chop her into pieces

Chop me to pieces now

'Grandma!'

Go on, cut me to bits

Instead of killing us
with your words bit by bit

Finish us off once for all
We will at least die peacefully

Kill me now

What did you say? If you give
500 rupees, we'll go with you?

Are we such immoral
shameless people?

We weren't jumping with joy
when we had a handful of money

We never felt sad or upset
when our pockets were empty either

We don't know to grow
marijuana plants

Her parents worked as tourist guides

In a mountain forest fire accident

They saved 10 lives and
were charred to death!

[cries of anguish]

When my daughter
was fighting for her life

'She wished to see her daughter'

Look at her, dear

Look at your child
to your heart's content

Look at her, my dear

'My daughter begged me with her eyes to
take care of Sembi and passed away'

From that day, I've been taking care
of her like a precious gem

Until I get her married
to a good man

I am asking superpower to give me
the strength and lifespan

When my family is already
in such a bad shape

Will I destroy some other family?

Sir

She can never be a biological mother

The doctor said so

'Our family lineage stops with her, sir'

'She is leading a life of
a lifeless corpse, a zombie'

'I am myself in the depths of despair
not knowing how to cope, sir'

Did that inspector come to my house
with fairplay in his mind?

He joined hands
with the rapists

And came with foul play in his heart to
negotiate my granddaughter's silence!

I told him I don't need his tainted money

I need justice for my granddaughter

When I told him those heartless criminals
have to brought to justice

He said, 'they have
clout and connections'

'If they come here'

'They will wipe you and your granddaughter
like an used tissue and go'

He threatened me
to withdraw the case!

I refused to do so

He tied a knot around
my granddaughter's neck and pulled

She is already suffering
physically and emotionally

That's why I bashed him

I bashed him up
and ran from my house

People like you who live in the plains

If you are repulsed by people
like us who live in the mountains

We will get off this bus

'Stop'

Make the grandma and child get down

Hello! You can't just come
and take her away

Only a lady police can
arrest a lady and escort her

We also know law, sir

Sir, do you have
an arrest warrant?

How can you arrest someone
without a warrant?

Do you watch a lot of movies?

She has hit an inspector and
you expect us to produce a warrant?

Did you ask if we know law?

Do you know what section 509 is?

'Get it into your head'

'To prevent Govt employees
from doing their duty'

Why is he doing
a tongue twisted with R?

Is this how you talk to an officer?

'Sir'

Who are you?

I'm sub inspector

Adhiveera Pandian

Have they given only a sub inspector
for completing your IPS?

I didn't pass the IPS exam

Then you're wearing an IPS cap?

Pandian sir, when your boss
came to your station

Did you steal his cap?

What are you waiting for?
Listening to his blah blah blah

Who are these men?

Fake police!

Decoy pigeons, huh?

What to do with them?

Hit them with your sandals

Hey! Let go of her

Take your hands off!

Let go of my granddaughter

'Narasimha, sit'

'Sit down'

Let go of her hand

- Grandma
- Let her go

Take your damn hands off

Aiyo!

Oh gawd! Madam

Aiyo! My dear wife Ambujam

Are you alright, madam?

- Hey! Sit
- Sit down

All of you, sit down
Old man, sit

Hey tuft head!
I'll punch your face

'Sit down, lady'

'One solid push
All of you will collapse'

I'm warning you
Switch off your phone

Take this child, da

'Let go of my hand'

Anna!

'Let go'

Anna...help!

Anna!

Let go of me

Let go of me
Don't touch me

- Anna
- 'Lift her'

Ammachi!

Let go of me

- Grandma
- 'Lift her'

'Let me go'

- Carry her
- Don't touch me

'Grandma...help!'

'What are you doing, da?
Lift her out'

'AMMAAACHI!'

- Let go
- 'Hurry up!'

- 'Annnaaa!
- Lift her out of the seat'

'Let go of me
Anna..help!'

'Let go...anna!'

- Pull her out
- Grandma

- 'Lift her
- Let go of me'

'Ammachi'

'Annaaaaa!'

- Let go of me
- 'Lift her out of the seat'

Ammachi

'Grandma'

Lift her out of the sea-

Push him to this side

Nab him...don't let him escape

- Are you alright?
- I'm okay, anna

Don't worry
I'm here for you

'You deserve to die'

- 'Hit him
- Rogues!'

Wait, beat him to a pulp

- Die...die
- Go to affliction

He deserves to die
Punch him harder

Akka...don't, don't

Akka

Go and rot in misery

Scoundrel
Push him out

Punch him to a paste
Don't spare him

Die...die

Rogues!

Strike harder
Use more force

[flurry of angry voices]

Break his skull

Stamp...stomp...thump...thud

Don't spare him
Punch him all over

Call yourself an inspector?
Scumbag of the first order

Beat him to a pulp

Bash him

Slap him...tight slap

I haven't even returned the small change
to so many passengers

Even they haven't bashed me up

Your lineage stops with you!

Go for a check up

Come, you oaf!

One

Two

Start the jeep

They hit me so hard
I've lost the key

Key is missing?

Three

Scoot, rascals!

Enough of searching for it
Let's run for our lives

Are they females?
Female demons!

Five...six!

- Seven
- Aiyaiyo!

- Why did you stab me?
- Is it you?!

Sorry, man

Hey! Run for your life

If you come back
I'll rip you to pieces down under!

Well run away

Hey! Run, you frauds!

Rented fake uniforms
to stoop to this level!

My hands will only light
your funeral pyre, mind it!

He will cremate you
Get inside

Their vehicle is obstructing the way, boss

Collide headlong and drive

Boss, our bus will get damaged

Damage already done, drive

'Okay'

All your actions are
equal to a crime

'Listen to me carefully'

Harboring an accused

Section # 212

If you get caught...

You'll do 6 months jail time

When those fake cops
quoted wrong sections

You were idly playing
a game on your phone

How is it you're preaching law now?

Hey! I know when and what to talk

We are driving straight
to Vathalagundu station now

'And hand over this lady to the police'

Hand over the grandma to the police
and what do we do with the little girl?

That child will follow
the fate lines on her forehead!

Why are you bringing in fate
and speaking so heartlessly?

Where will that child go?

Why are you being so sentimental?

Department will take care of her

We saw how your department
worked wonders the past 1 week!

Hey!

Curb your tongue
Don't act smart with me

'How dare you retort?'

Am I asking for your permission to talk?

I'm abiding by our law

'Shall I show you
a real policeman?'

Want to watch me in action?

I am sitting here, right?

This bus should stop next only
at Vathalagundu police station

'Just wait and watch'

Letting her tongue run!

Just watch how I handle this

All of you deserve to-

We should deal with
this tile-head fellow

Whistle is your fingers, right?

[whistling]

Well done, Anbu

Hey tile-head police

Move your feet

- Sembi girl is in that bus
- Where, bro?

- Look right there
- Hey!

Hey! White dog!

My darling!

Hey!

Did you come into this world
as babies or as a litter of pups?

Why are you barking like this?

- One chap
- Hey!

Degraded that poor child
in a awful cruel way

All the passengers drove him out

And we watched it 'live'
and cheered in joy

Enough of empty tales
Get into the bus now

- Sir...sir
- I'm telling you to get in

He must have been dropped
in the bend over there

If you give us permission
we will knock that chap's head flat

- Sir...sir
- Please sir

What's wrong with you?
Get into the bus

Listen to me
Get in...quick

- 'First this fellow should be knocked'
- Hey!!

'Control room calling patrol 3, over'

Patrol 3, receiving, over

'Are you following Anbu's bus? Over'

Sir, bus is sticking to
Vadakavunji route

We're following
at a distance of 10 km, over

- Son
- 'Yes, sir?'

- I don't understand this
- What?

Why were the fake police
bent on targeting the child?

If she points an accusing finger
at them, that's it

Minimum sentence of 10 years
And maximum, death penalty

One of the two verdicts is confirmed
This gang is terrified of being identified

That's why they're trying to kill her

What is it, son?
Didn't you listen to grandma?

They have connections in high places
Enough money to grease many palms

Can't they close the case?

Is there any law
without loopholes?

Sir, in this law, there are no loopholes,
nor can you drill fake holes!

- What is that foolproof law?
- POCSO Act 2012

Protection of Children from Sexual Offences

A much needed harsh law drafted to protect
children from offences of sexual act

'It is a global and universal act'

Sir, in any case, we have to struggle
to prove the accused is guilty

But in this act, the accused
has to prove his innocence

Sir, not just that

Supreme Court as Apex court
is the final judiciary tribunal

If the judge feels the victim's statement
can be believed, that is more than enough

Without any evidence whatsoever

The Apex Court has given the rights to
the judge to pass the judgment immediately

'In a recent case in Bihar'

'Sasikanth Rai
A special court judge'

He passed the sentence the day
the accused was brought to trial

In all the rape case rulings in India

'This case is still talked about
for its lightning speed verdict'

'This is the strength of POCSO Act, sir'

If our law is that strong

Why should this grandma be on the run?

'Poor old lady, sir'

'She doesn't know anything'

True that, son

I've been travelling and
even I don't know all this

'How will she know all this?'

'That's how the inspector
easily duped her'

Sir, by law only a policewoman
should have handled this case

But their greed for money
made them cover up the law

Son, aren't you an advocate?

Let's file a POCSO case

I've already done that, sir

Love you, brother

How incredible!

In the midst of all this ruckus in our bus

I thought you were pecking the ground
like a chicken looking for grains

Were you doing this all along?

'Super, son'

Enough of looking
Come away, madam

You took Rs 20 from me, eh?

As if you gave me Rs 200
for me to show you 'Baahubali'

Child

Take this chocolate

- Is the session over, da?
- Huh?

Is the session over?

Only now the warrior
has mounted his horse!

- Make it fast
- Oh! I see

It may be another hour, right?

- Is this POCSO court?
- What?

Looks like a play school

Think you can fool me?
I want my cash back

Trust me, man

'This is POCSO court'

'Selling salt to the sea, eh?'

Is that fool playing on
the wooden horse a judge?

- Hey!
- Sir?

- Door is here
- Sorry, sir

Take this

Registering Kodaikanal
Sembi case as a private complaint

- Have you noted the serial #?
- Done, sir

Waiting for the signal
for a video call

Once we get signal
we can nail them online

'What are you looking at, my dear boy?'

Till then we must take
good care of Sembi

'Of course, we will'

Bus is plying at a distance
of 3 km from us, sir

'When you get near the bus
inform me, over'

Muthu, speed up

Why is Tiles calling?

Tell me, Muthusami

Hey Politician!

Will you dump me in the middle
of nowhere and save the old lady?

'If I take your wife Pushpa's case'

How can I ditch you?

- 'You'll die of shame'
- No, Muthusami

'I have given your # to the department'

They are tracking you

'Don't get down in the middle
for any reason, we will miss the reward'

Call me when the police nab her

Okay?

They are dead meat!

You traitor!

Is this why you took down my number?

May some wild bear drag you away!

Okay, Vasu, thanks

Sir, my friend just called

There's a police checkpost
beyond Vadakavunji, sir

They are checking all vehicles

If we turn right before that, we can
go down through the pine forest, sir

Shall we take that route, sir?

Is your plan to take everyone along
and kill them with poison?

What are you looking at, flour-face?

How does a villain suddenly turn hero?

I have a conscience too, sir

'When did you find out?'

- Trust me, sir
- I won't trust you

What was that?

You sucked on a jackfruit aril happily

Asked me repeatedly
'Do you want?'

- Didn't you?
- Sir

If born as a human one has to repent
and reform one day or the other

If you are born a human being!

Your face is boring, bro
Turn the other side

Sir, I have a child her age

At least now you remembered

Brother, what is our next move?

Once we get the Zoom link from the court
we should make Sembi talk to the judge

- Okay, brother
- I have a relative in Vadakavunji

I'll ask him to get a jeep

You take this grandma
and girl and escape, sir

Only criminals should run and hide

Not us, huh!

Muthu, stop the jeep

'Control room calling patrol 3, over'

Patrol 3 receiving, over

'Did you spot the bus? Over'

No, sir, at Pethuparai
the GPS signal got cut sir, over

'Keep following in the same route, over'

Connect it

Right away, sir

Sir, it's ready

- Child
- Anna

Tell the judge exactly
what happened, okay?

Hmm, good girl

'You must tell them what happened'

'Look at the camera and talk'

What happened that day
on the way to the shandy?

'Tell him, Sembi'

'Be bold and brave'

'Tell me, Sembi'

'On that day, I was carrying honey
and walking via Singaparai'

Okay

'3 big brothers came towards me'

'One of the boys'

Tell me, what did he do?

'It hurts in that place even today'

'Do you know?'

[painful sobs]

Tell me, Maha

Judge has got the statement
from Sembi through a video call, sir

- Has he recorded the statement?
- 'Yes, sir'

Who is the investigation officer?

DSP Rosma Mary, sir

Rosma Mary

If you find out anything else
update me immediately, okay?

The girl said she saw a blue car

This is a hilly area
So it's definitely a 4x4 vehicle

Let's take a list of vehicles-

Right, we'll take the list from the RTO'

We get their addresses
and search for all the accused

By then this child will become a grandma
and grandma will become a greatgrandma

That's what you wanted to say, right?

That inspector also knows who they are

If we get his number-

'I know, son'

My friend Raghavan is
a cyber security consultant

I'll get the full list of people
the inspector spoke to

We can then talk to everyone

We can find out their identities

Brother, cyber crime needs at least 2 mins
of talk time to retrieve their numbers

Instead, those working in Telecom
can easily get that information for us

Hey! Isn't your boyfriend
working in Ola Phone?

Pcccht!

It isn't wrong to talk to him again
for a good deed, di

Call him

Don't hesitate

- 'Hello'
- Mullai, tell me!

'Mahesh, I need a favor'

What do you want, Mullai?
I'll do anything for you

Tell me, Mullai

- 'Listen to me first, idiot'
- Okay...okay

'I need the call history of a number'

Why just 1 number, Mullai?
I'll get the entire history on Ola phone

- 'That one # is enough'
- Okay

I love you, I love you, Mullai

'Aiyo! Yuck!'

Anna, he's taken the risk
and sent the list

Apparently it's illegal
He said to handle it carefully

Aiyaiyaiya!

Legal or illegal

All this is cake walk for me

There are 30-40 numbers

Circulate this among the bus

If you think the person
you are taking to

...is even slightly suspicious
immediately say 'White Dog'

'He will come running and grab'

'Dog...dog'

Hello?

Hello, Apple Spa

He will go on 3 rounds

He's with me
during his night rounds

'Yes, I am his masseur'

- Hospital?
- He's fine, right?

- Sir, I'm speaking regarding-
- Hey! Talk in Tamil, moron

He never pays his gym fees, sir

Masilamani has called this #
about 20 times this week

How do you know him?

'I will talk to my husband
20 times or 200 times'

'Who are you to ask me this?'

'Are you his new mistress?'

He is lying unconscious here
because I have cursed him a million times

Where do you sprout from?

Where are you now?
Tell me

- Hello?
- I called by mistake

She cut the call

- I'm massage Mani speaking
- I didn't ask for 'Bajaj' Mani, da

I asked for Masilamani

I'm going home for lunch
Will you call me after 2:00 p.m?

Are you walking home?
Walk...walk

Hello, how are you
related to Masilamani?

Hey Anbu, are you ready
with the interest amount?

Aiyo, I called the financier by mistake!

- Hello
- Hello

- How are you connected to Masilamani?
- I want my money back

Yes, Masilamani

What are you to him?

I'm Ganja Kasi speaking
I don't have stock now

What? Ganja?

No stock?

So many missed calls

Member at your club too?

Your number flashed, madam

- Oh really?
- Okay, okay

Hello, you gave me a missed call

'Sir, I'm a friend calling
How do you know Masilamani?'

This is really confusing

We've called all the numbers

All of them are his family,
friends or some appendages

What do we do?

He's cleverly used another #
to close the deal

Crap!

He's blowing up this small case
into a giant balloon

He'll use this to get to power,
just wait and watch

Sir, we won't let that happen

That inspector must survive

He must talk
He must tell the truth

The culprits must be punished

'Sir, Adhiyaman has accused you
of sending fake cops to kill the child'

'What is your comment, sir?'

I heard about it

You know what they will do next, son?

They will kill that inspector
with their own men

And then throw the blame on me

Dharani, be careful

Thank you, sir
Done

But I won't let that happen

I've sent my men

Doctor?

You are-

I was expecting ward boy Ramesh

Ramesh is dead

Ambulance has reached

I am bearing the expenses

Transferring him from this hospital
to a multi specialty hospital

I won't quit until I save his life
and extract the truth from him

What is your next move?

Toll gate is on the way

I'll get off at the toll gate
and finish the next job

Sir, the bus has to go past
Vadakavunji check post

I've informed them

Once I lock the bus,
I'll contact you, over

- 'Cast your vote
- To circle symbol'

- 'Cast your vote

- 'Cast your vote

- 'Cast your vote

- 'Cast your vote

- Anna
- What is it, dear?

[campaigning]

'Vote for circle symbol'

What, dear?

This was the photo
on that blue car

- 'Cast your vote

Look carefully and tell me

It was this photo, anna

- 'Cast your vote

- 'Cast your vote

I am sure, this photo

'Cast your vote'

- 'Cast your vote

'Hey, don't go via the checkpost!'

'Take the route 'flour face' suggested'

'Boss, I'm turning right'

'Varadan, did you get any information
from the checkpost?'

Not yet sir, over

Then child Sembi has seen
Ezhil Vendan's party vehicle

The vehicle must have entered and
exited in Kodaikanal toll gate

If we get the footages
from the toll booth

They can be nabbed
by asking Sembi to identify

No big deal

Sir, your dear friend
That head constable

He is at the toll gate
You ask him, he'll give it

Who? That Sekar?

He employs a man to search
for photos in his own phone!

Asking him for
footage and luggage!

Hey! How could you refer to him
as my 'dear friend'?!

Don't act smart with me

How can a police be my friend?

Both of you wear khaki uniform
So I thought you are thick friends

Oho!

You have a ponytail
you are so proud of

Shall I consider you
as 'not a man'?

Please don't, sir

White dog

Isn't your friend
working in Cyber crime?

Can you connect him?

- Hello?
- Hey! Raghava

Dude, only now you have uploaded
a worthwhile video in your channel

Thank you

My advocate friend wants to
talk to you related to that

1 minute

- Hello, Raghavan
- Hahn, brother

I'm following your entire
journey in Facebook

- You're doing an amazing job
- Thank you

Thank you, Raghavan

- I want a favor
- 'Tell me'

Kodaikanal toll gate
on 23rd, 24th and 25th

If you can get us the CCTV footages
of those 3 days, it will be of great help

- 'We need it immediately'
- Not possible immediately, brother

You must submit a petition
to Cyber Crime department

Get an approval
It will take time, brother

Aiyaiyo! We are running out of time

'Sembi has to identify them'

What about this idea?

If you bug the system, you can
hack within a radius of 100m, right?

That's illegal, brother

You must be well aware

Please understand the situation

Only if they are identified
I can proceed further

Toll gate is nearby

How can I not do
even this for Sembi?

Okay, brother
I'll be part of your game

Thank you
Make it fast

- Single trip
- Rs 50

- Hi brother
- 'Tell me'

I've come from the service center
I need to service your system

System is in good condition, sir

No, general service

- General, huh?
- Yeah

1 minute, let me call the manager

Rs 50

Yes, sir

Okay, sir
Fifty

Local, bro

He said not now
He'll call if needed

Okay

Sir, 50

Bro, local trip

Local not allowed
Only Pass

Show me your pass
or pay up the cash

I am a regular driver
I keep making these trips

- You keep rattling
- That's the rule, sir

Either pay cash
or show me your Pass

You know who you are talking to?

You can be anyone for all I care, pay up

Are you new around here?
Acting too smart?

'Yes, I am new
So what?'

Hit him where it hurts most

You think you can get away
being rude to me?

- 'So you'll lose your cool, huh?'
- Am I working for you to bow down?

As if I'll employ you!

'Why would I work for you?'

'Mani, call the cops standing there'

- Try hitting me
- What, sir?

He's being rude
not knowing who I am

- You please leave
- Tell him about me

Sir, he's a new recruit
His mistake

I'm sparing him for your sake

Please go, sir

'Thank you for visiting Kodaikanal,
Princess of the Mountains, visit again'

He's calling me

Switch on the speaker

I got the footage

Correctly 3 days
23rd, 24th, 25th

Footages of these 3 days are missing

How is that possible?
That too, only those 3 days, dude?

- Inspector
- 'Don't know, dude'

'All other days are intact'

He bribes to close the case

- 'Thanks, I'll call later'
- He tries to strangle Sembi

He deletes the footage
at the toll gate with precision

Did that Inspector take such risks
to save an ordinary Party volunteer?

Something fishy

He said, 'they have
clout and connections'

'If they come here'

'They will wipe you and your granddaughter
like an used tissue and go'

'He threatened me
to withdraw the case!'

He said, 'they have
clout and connections'

He said, 'they have
clout and connections'

Got the fish

Give me your laptop

See if these are the fellows?

- Ammachi
- 'What, dear?'

'What happened?'

'Are they the rogues?'

Tell us

My child

Scoundrels

You are hooked

Have you identified them?

Who are these boys?

Opposition leader
Ezhil Vendan's son

Mathivendan and his friends

Those boys in high places
Inspector bragged to grandma about

He meant them

Are they from a good family background?

Stinking scumbags!

Send summons to
the three of them immediately

- Okay, sir
- Don't be flustered

Only we will go to court!

- Lawyer spoke
- What does he want?

That mountain honey-kid
has identified us, it seems

We may get a summon from court
at any time, he asked us to be prepared

Big deal!
Are you worried about this?

As if court, case, hearing,
adjournment new to us?

We should have closed her chapter
on that very day itself

Forget it
No worries

If it has come to court
the ball is on our side

That grandma will
run around in circles

A protest group will run
behind her to help her

We will make sure the case
is adjourned for years

That old hag will die
Case will be closed

Nowadays, only voices of
Most Backward Class

...are heard and raised by the media

Voice, huh?

Why are you calling the howling noise
at the street corner as voice?

Do you know my analogy for
that old lady and her supporters?

A dog smashed into a mess
lying dead on the highway

No one will come
even to burn or bury them

Cars will run over them
one after the other

This society will crush them till they rot
along with the tar on the road

String them and drip-dry in the hot sun

Their bodies will be
gone with the wind!

With all the personal problems people have
will they be cleaning the road diligently?

What do you mean by
class, voice or noise?

- Dude
- 'Tell me'

I've been feeling from last night

Something drastic may happen to us

Some bird is tweeting
as a gut feeling, man

Bird?

You mean 'Super power'?

This earth of ours is not
ruled by Super power

Money

We have a surplus load of it

I mentioned it this morning
in a Press Meet

As predicted that inspector
has been killed by them

Volunteers, do you know
what will be the next step?

The grandma and her granddaughter
who know the whole truth behind this

I've convinced her, madam

- 'That bus will be overturned'
- Send the cash to DSP and doctor

'They will transfer the blame on me'

'Let us pray my worst nightmare
doesn't come true'

Ammachi

Close the shutter

'I am scared, grandma'

Lower the shutters, quick

'Ammachi...ammachi'

- Grandma
- Don't be scared, dear

Hey...hey!

Oh gawd! Who are all of you?

- Maaa!
- 'Come this side, dear'

Don't worry, child

Grandma

Can't get inside, let's go

Why did they retreat
as quickly as they came?

They plan to kill all of us!

Let them come, son
We will rip them apart

No

They are well armed

We have to safeguard Sembi

What, brother?

We must shift from this bus
to the bus in front

How?

Call that number

Which #?

'Call that number on the window pane
and contact the driver'

Tell the driver if he applies the brake
bomb in his bus will explode

Super, bro

- Hello?
- 'Hello?'

'Sethumani Travels, tell me'

Students of MCS college
are going on a tour in your bus

Can you give me that driver's #?

Tell me, who is this?

'We are calling from Intelligence Bureau'

Govt Internal security agency?
Tell me, sir

'Don't apply the brake
after you listen to me'

'If you defy and apply the brake
the bus will explode'

- They have planted a bomb in your bus'
- Bomb, huh?

Move aside

Dim-witted fellow!

AMMAAACHI!

Why is he banging us again?

Driver, what is this?

That bus is banging us from behind
and you are not stopping?

- Stop the bus
- Sir!

A bomb has been planted in this bus, sir
If I apply the brake, bus will explode

What are you blabbering?

'Not blabbering
Intelligence Bureau, sir

Oh no! Really?

- Sembi
- You go first

- Anbu sir, go to that bus
- Okay, son

Ask our driver to get stuck to that bus

Okay, bro

- Who informed the Intelligence Bureau?
- I did

Who are you?

I am the conductor of that bus

What are you doing in this bus?

'Are you a professor or a lunatic?'

Don't you know what's happening here?

That's exactly what I'm asking
What is happening?

'Answer my question'

- Don't you know?
- Hurry up, sir

Cow, goat, chicken are on a jay-walk!

How can a chick walk?

Munch this chips in a corner
and mull over your screwed up logic

Go, man
Get lost!

- Don't touch, da
- It was accidental

'You may cause an accident, come in'

Maybe I should have pushed him out!

Hey...hey!

Lift me up, bro

- Lift me up
- Pull him

- Hold on to that bus
- Pull...pull

Pull me up with my hand, man

Fast...fast, pull him up

White dog!

- Welcome, boss
- Get in, quick

Jackfruit, watch your step

Hold our auntie

He claims this bus has a bomb and
bringing everyone here, madcap!

- Sister, climb bravely
- Come, madam

- Awwww!
- Hold on to her

Don't be scared, come in

Let go of me
I'm not coming

Go...quick!

Kill the whole lot

Come...come

Bend ahead
Bang the bus now

Ammachi!

'Jump, son'

'Chakkara, hurry up!'

Sir

Anbu is lying in the ravine

'Due to dense fog in the area
the rescue team has been put on hold'

'Rescue mission can begin
their operation only at dawn'

'More details on passengers involved in
this accident will be known only tomorrow'

'Rise of Ezhilvendhan'

"Whichever candidate wins, very, very sad"

"Grandson, grandparents, mummy and dad!"

"Mummy, mummy
Mummy, mummy, mummy"

"All of us are just a dummy"

"Aw! Brains are rusted you see"

"Even with a full set so lucky
we won't win in rummy"

"Listening to speakers and cacophony
our ears explode on a deafening spree"

"Posters, slogans, campaigns duly
Make our lives worse than daily"

"Nation is in turmoil excess
with your lives in a total mess"

"When dinosaurs roamed without a care
this land was just jungle everywhere"

"Mummy, mummy
Mummy, mummy, mummy"

"Even with a full set so lucky
we won't win in rummy"

"Aw! Brains are rusted you see"

"All of us are just a dummy"

What I was praying should not happen

It has happened

They pushed the bus carrying the lady
and her granddaughter into the ravine

The day I started talking about Sembi

From that moment onwards
she became my granddaughter

My granddaughter has been killed

'I kept begging for protection'

'They didn't comply'

'Thinking they were pushing me down
they pushed the bus into the ravine'

'I have lost my granddaughter'

Sir

Your granddaughter Sembi is alive

Is that so?

A photo with the college students
who saved her is viral online now

What are you saying?

News of the lawyer who escorted Sembi
to the magistrate is viral now

My granddaughter is alive?

That's all I care about

'I have prayed the culprits
should be caught'

'Your wish hasn't gone waste, sir'

Child Sembi has identified
your son and his friends as her rapists

Your son's photo is trending online

What is your comment on this, sir?

- Excuse me, sir
- What is your question?

Fast Court in Dindigul has issued a summon
to your son to show up tomorrow

We have got the Press release copy, sir

What do you say to this, sir?

Pre climax in Adhiyaman's
screenplay is simply superb

Brilliant twist

Court opens in the morning, right?

Justice will triumph in the climax

No more questions

'Sir, why are you worried?'

'I've covered their tracks
and greased all palms'

'Created all the evidence
on our side to the T'

'Be confident, sir
We are sure to win'

'On the day of the crime'

'These 3 boys were
not even in Tamil Nadu'

'They were attending
a wedding in Goa'

'Their flight tickets
from Chennai to Goa'

'On the same day, bills for checking
into Goa International hotel'

On 25th at 11 in the morning

'Their return tickets from Goa to Chennai'

I have submitted all these
in the court here, sir

'Sir'

Since the villagers were talking
of the grandmother having a lot of cash

Masilamani said he was going
to visit the grandmother for an enquiry

'Taking the blood samples of my clients'

I have submitted
their DNA test results, sir'

Sir, we sent the semen samples
from the victim's body to the lab

We got a report stating
3 different DNAs were present

Did you match the 2 reports?

I verified the two yesterday, sir

They didn't match, sir

Sir, he is Opposition party leader
Ezhil Vendan's only son

'Pre-poll surveys show his father
will win the coming election hands down'

'Some ill-wishers have brought a girl
raped somewhere by someone else'

'These boys have been blamed unfairly
greasing the victim's palm'

They are enacting a drama, sir

Prosecutor

- Sir
- Any cross examination?

Sir, for the clout and
connections they have

They can create evidence
with more dates left untampered

Why just an airlines ticket, sir?

If they set their mind, they can show us
a plane and claim they chartered a flight

'Sir'

It is said, 'if a lie is repeated
it becomes the truth'

That's how they have tutored
and brought this child here

She is repeating the same lies

Sir, what I'm saying is
POCSO Act is very harsh

Many people are using it
in the wrong way

A few innocent boys like them
get caught in that web of deceit

'Prosecutor'

Defense lawyer has submitted
all the evidence in proper order

DNA reports do not match

Based on the child's online statement
while traveling from Kodaikanal

I cannot pass judgment

'Do you have any evidence?'

Yes, sir, I have evidence and proof of
evidence destroyed at the crime spot

Kindly repeat that

I have evidence of evidence
destroyed at the crime spot

'Produce it'

Madam

There were 5 cameras at the crime spot

All 5 cameras

Show corrupt footage only on 24th, sir

The previous day and
next day of this incident

'When we checked if their car
had crossed the toll gate'

'Footage only on these 3 days
in particular are missing, sir'

'I searched with their phone #s to prove
they were in Kodaikanal on those 3 days'

'Call history of those specific 3 days
have been deleted, sir'

'They have done a clean job
of erasing all the required evidence'

'They have even prepared proper back up
of being somewhere else on those 3 days'

'I have to prove from my side now'

You will adjourn that
to the next hearing

Your job is to pile up adjournments

'My job is to bring my client to court'

But my client has miles to go
before she can sleep, sir

She has to study
and become a doctor

Sir, please look at this child

'Poor girl, sir, instead of
playing as a carefree 10 year old'

'She is sitting huddled up in fear'

'Scars of this barbaric act embedded in
her body and mind to heal will take years'

'Walking to and fro to court
to wrap up this case'

She should not forget
or forego her dream

By punishing these 3 boys

Her shattered womb
cannot be retrieved

But if they are let loose
so many children her age

...will walk the same traumatic path

I am fighting this case to prevent
the same fate falling on those children

Sir, we address a doctor
who saves lives only as 'doctor'

But we address you as 'My Goodness'

Do you know why?

Justice is more precious than life!

All this word play
sounds good to hear, sir

Court needs evidence
when it is a proceeding

Do you have any strong evidence?

How will you conclude this case?

Sir, 1000 pieces of evidence
will be needed to prove a lie as truth

But if you need evidence
to prove truth to be truth

How can that be truth, sir?

'The only evidence I have'

Ammachi!

'When this child entered this court'

There were many of us men present

We are still present here

I didn't see any kind of
difference in her eyes

When she saw these 3 boys

'That child was terrified'

In that panic state

I saw 1000 pieces
of solid proof in her eyes

So as per Apex court

A rape accused person could be convicted

Based on the victim's sole testimony

This court finds it

Trustworthy and credible

'So I sentence'

Accused # 1, Mathivendhan

'Accused # 2'

Akshay

'Accused # 3'

Surya

This court sentences
the three of them

To life imprisonment for
the rest of their natural lives

'On judicial note I punish them
with life imprisonment'

'Till death'

'This earth of ours is not
ruled by Super power'

'Money'

What are you looking for?

- Where is that anna, ammachi?
- That's right, where is he?

There, he's walking away

Look over there, grandma

Thank you, sir
Thank you so much

Come, my child

Hello, Sembi
Sit down

What is this, my son?

You restored my granddaughter's life
and walked away without a farewell

Forget that, please sit down

I want to pay you
lawyer's fees

I don't mind the expense

I'll send it to you in installments

Is that so?

She gave it to me

- I have to go, see you
- Okay

Future doctor
Ace your studies, okay?

- Ever grateful to you, son
- Bye, ma

Tata

Ammachi

We never asked that anna his name

True that

'Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself
[Matthew 22:37–39] - Jesus'

'With love
- Prabhu Salomon'

'Long live!'

'Long live
our Chief Minister'

'Long live
our leader'

'Long live
our Chief Minister'

Sir, the pre-poll surveys claim
you will sweep the polls

I thought I can take rest for 5 years

Looks like my people love me!
