'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?

You are a handful of-
Listen, girl

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

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

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

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]

Till Dindigul

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'
Stopping the police from doing their work

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 - To circle symbol'
- 'Cast your vote - To circle symbol'
- 'Cast your vote - To circle symbol'
- 'Cast your vote - To circle symbol'
- Anna - What is it, dear?
[campaigning]
'Vote for circle symbol'
What, dear?
This was the photo on that blue car
- 'Cast your vote - To circle symbol'
Look carefully and tell me

'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'

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 22:37โ39] - 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!
