Original subtitles

Two real-life articles in different weekly magazines, is the gist of the story!

Though these people have no relationship to each other!

For the first time, the real people who lived these lives,

play the characters in this movie.

Most of the times it is physical abuse and not agreements that get back the loans.

Agreements are not as helpful as physical assault!

-I have so many plans for that money! -There is only 17 lakhs in the bag sir.

-Hey, where is the rest? -Sir, I swear this is all that is left!

Hey turn the car to his village!

Sir let’s not go to my village, I beg get your feet!

Hey, see he is tensed as soon as we talk about his village!

That is where the money is, let’s go there now!

Sir, don’t go to my village. Please listen to me!

Hey no! Hey, don’t go! Hey, shut up and sit quietly!

Turn around the car now!

Don’t dare go to my village!

Hey, don’t let him escape!

Don’t let him get away!

Hey, where are you running to?

Die, you filthy dog!

Hey wait!

We have seen so many guys like him!

He’s trying to give us the slip!

he is trying to call somebody!

Who was he calling?

Sir, he’s calling Cheran!

Cheran? If he remains alive, we will have problems because of him.

The cinema people often commit suicide because of loan issues, right?

Come, we’ll see the news in tomorrow’s paper!

we will lose half the amount!

Welcome to ‘Kaayam, a special Show’!

I Gopinath welcome everybody!

…and the character that I really liked,

give the mick to the grandma! She is your grandmother, right?

Give it to grandma.

Our is a village near Salem is called Sankagiri…

I have three sons and two daughters.

He is the son of my eldest son.

Lorry assembly and weaving are the only jobs near our village!

I thought after college he too will go into lorry assembly

But he left to Madras to learn how to make cinema.

None of us accepted it

But his uncle was very supportive of him!

We are not rich.

You should not get addicted to smoking

Look, I have kept my photo here.

Remember my advice whenever you see this

won’t do anything like that!

He used to call his Uncle 'Poovappa'

Poovappa, sing 'Malarnthum Malaratha' song for me.

♪Like a flower, half bloomed… you are my growing colourful vision♪

♪The dawn the is half set, you are my growing artful morning swan♪

He struggled for few years and learned film work

He wrote a story and approached the producers

The climax of the film ends in comedy,Sir..

The story is a good comedy

If you visualise it properly, it will be a super hit.

The producer was keen to film the story

When he was happily about to start the film..

a shocking incident happened

Hey what is this…?

Our Poovappa has passed away, brother

Poovappa…!

-Brother don’t. -Poovappa…

Brother, wait brother.

-Poovappa…! -Brother, wait brother!

After some disagreement with his boss..

he quit to start his own Business.

He has consulted an astrologer.

But the astrologer said that…

‘You will not be able to start a new business,’

‘you will beg for food and be homeless!’

Not wanting to live like that,

He came and hanged himself!

Our people waited as long as they could, so that you might see him one last time.

♪Shall I teel you the story of how he raised me a good son under his wing♪

♪Shall I teel you the story of how time cruelly took him away from me♪

After that Our family was devastated

He did not go to Madras

He constantly thinking about it and suffered mentally

He kept lamenting that he had lost a life because of a Astrologer

After a some days

He said he was writing a story about the cheating of astrologers

First the story of our Poovappa!

An orphan is raised by his grandma.

Grandma sells turkey berries… he works at a Weaving shop.

One day he consults an astrologer about putting his own weaving shop.

But the astrologer says ‘You are Unlucky,’

‘You cannot start a business..

and will die a beggar!’

Heartbroken he commits suicide!

I must incorporate about human sacrifice in my story!

A poor folk artist, after the death of his wife…

lovingly and caringly raises his daughter and son.

One day his son falls ill,

he borrows money from Neighbors and takes him to the Pondicherry hospital!

Somebody who notices the innocence plays a trick and take away the kid,

and kills him as a human sacrifice!

In a flashback we will show how his father tried to save him!

Nasser can play this role well,

but I don’t know how well he knows our folk dance.

So teach him a good song from a Thavasi play, dad.

For the godman who gives the human sacrifice, he will be apt!

-Have you seen any of his movies? -What was it called…?

Put your head in your father curd pot!

Also, a Godman tries to rape girl to cleanse a blemish in her horoscope.

Four kids kidnap these Godmen.

A policeman comes investigating this case!

You know ‘Paruthiveeran’ Karthi, right? Younger son of actor Sivakumar.

He will be apt for the hero, Prakash Raj will be apt for the villain.

They are the rest of the characters, Satyaraj will be the Woke teacher!

Periyar used to call superstition is an onion!

So, the title for our movie is ‘Onion’!

The police are taking those boys slowly.

It would be great if Karthi sir play’s the hero!

The story is very emotional.

There is only a chance that it might be a hit.

I can’t take that risk.

The comedy subject would give me a minimum guarantee.

No sir, I am not in the right mindset now.

If I force myself to do it, I don’t think I we will get the best output.

I am completely engrossed in this story

I have collected a lot of references regarding the cons of these Godmen.

I can make it a commercially watchable movie.

-Please sir… -I’m sorry.

I really don’t want to take the risk.

I want a thrilling movie like Muni or Kanchana.

The story is really good,

but I always consult my astrologer.

Bring me your horoscope… if the time is right, we will do it!

No one is ready to produce this story

and this will be your first movie.

I don’t know how well you will visualise this.

Shoot a portion of this story…

as a short film.

If it is good I will produce it.

He asked us that he wanted money to make the film

We said we don't have that much money

After that he climbed a palm tree and sat down

I want Rs.50,000!

He says if you give me money I will come down

..otherwise I will jump from the tree.

A boy in our village committed suicide

..because his father did not buy him a bike

So we were very worried and informed his father

-What happened? -I pawned all of Indrani’s jewels!

This is all I can give, make sure he doesn’t ask for more!

A tree that struggles to stand up straight, will not grow that big!

A son who can’t handle his father scolding him will never become great!

Raja… hey Raja!

Grandpa!

They said my father was blessed to have a son like me!

When in fact, I am blessed to have a father like him!

The temple looks grand.

But when we shoot it in a fixed frame we are unable to capture it!

If we could get like a crane movement, it would look amazing!

I’m not that satisfied!

Brother we bought this new camera, take it across the temple and get it blessed!

Just like that keep going!

Hey, it’s that producer.

Talk to him.

-Hello sir. -What are you doing?

So you asked for a short film, right?

I finished shooting it sir, I will edit it and show it to you.

I am going out of the country

I will be back after six months, will you come and stay in the office till then?

It would be good if you took care of the office.

No sir, please ask somebody else.

I believed him and…!

-It is really good! -Okay sir.

Even though you shot it as a sample, it looks really good!

I had my family members act in it!

Would be any good if film actors would act in it?

The nativity of village people,

I don’t do professional actors will be able to match it!

Saying that you have done a good job, Kolatur Mani Sir, gave us a little money.

He asked if artist can bring this reality?

What I feel is that…

instead of using make up make actors look like village folk,

We should have our own village folk act in it!

Dilip brother said that…

A couch for rent is Rs.20 but it only costs Rs.30….

instead of renting a camera for shoot, It is best we purchased one!

Bioscope

I will give you some money for buying a camera, get a good one!

Instead of always having a steady camera, it would be better if we could move it.

Can you make a trolley to move the camera?

We make lorries that travel all over India, we can easily make a trolley.

We can do whatever you want us to.

♪Is he Bharathiraja…?♪

♪Is he Bhagyaraj…?♪

♪Is he Pandiarajan…?♪

♪Is he the King of Confusion?♪

♪Oh foolish king…♪

♪He is like James Cameron, once he touches a camera.♪

♪The goat grazing fields♪

♪Is now our Hollywood studio♪

I have to buy some more stuff… I don’t have enough money.

Do you want more money, we have to steal it!

Hey, where are you going?

I was just going to sit next to the palm tree.

If you go near the palm tree I don’t know what I will do.

Okay, the money that your uncle gave you, wasn’t it enough?

I have to buy a hard disk.

What, a goat?

Not a goat. Yes, where is the goat?

Is it carrying, how much can we sell it for?

Grandpa…

this is a computer.

What rotor?

Computer, a computer!

♪He went across seven mountains just to fight a pig♪

Grandma, why are you sitting like that?

Don’t worry that we sold the goat.

The goat was white, the hard disk is also white.

The goat would put droppings, will this do that as well?

♪Oh foolish king…♪

There was this bowl that we put the feed for the cows in.

Where is it, I can’t find it?

The cow must have ate it as well auntie.

Yeah… cows eat bowls every day, right?

Hey, hide it!

Your lie to cover up.

Hey it’s our Maths teacher!

Why is he coming here?

Hey, what are you doing?

The vet is here to inject the cow.

When I told him we sold our cows, he said he will give the injection to me instead!

What, he is going to give a cow’s injection to a boy?

Who is that fool?

Hey, don’t you understand we sold our cows?

Who came looking for cows, Call Shiva Ratnam.

Just because we don’t have a cow,

how can you give that injection to a boy?

Damn you to hell! Don’t you have any shame?

How can you give a cow’s injection to a boy?

-Try to understand me. -Who made you a doctor?

Who are you here to kill?

Grandma, grandma. Shut up and go inside!

Sir, hello sir.

What M. Rajkumar, what is all of this?

Oh no sir, grandma mistook you for somebody else!

Forget about her!

What are you doing?

Your cousins haven’t come to school for the past 10 days!

I am under pressure to deliver 100% results!

We are shooting a short film sir,

they were helping me out.

Sir, they are supporting you sir!

You are spoiling their lives and cheating them!

You finished your college education, as a brother what should you do?

You should tell them to first finish their education before everything else.

Make sure they come to school from tomorrow!

Spoiling the kids’ education!

Hey, you guys don’t need to come to the shooting!

Go to school regularly you can come during holidays!

We will be in the shooting as well

That monkey faced, Maths teacher spoiled everything!

Go to school and study well

We will take care of that,

You make sure you act like brother tells you to.

Why would I care about acting now?

What are you saying?

If you act well, you will have fans all over!

Then you can become the chief minister!

-The chief minister? -Yes!

Jayalalithaa, Karunanidhi and

MGR… how did they all become chief minister?

It is by acting in movies!

Now Vijayakanth has come into politics.

Rajinikanth is saying he too will enter soon.

You too can become a chief minister!

Muthuswamy, you have to cook from today!

-Okay madam…

Grandma, get down from the helicopter.

The kids went to the school,

Me and my husband along with his other grandparents.

We started the shooting on her own!

Now we are going to shoot the scene,

where the grandma and grandson are living happily!

and they’re eating whatever they have!

Okay, what role am I going to play?

You don’t have a role today, you just have to work.

You have to push this trolley, okay?

If I push away the pale, how will we give water to the cows?

I am not talking about the pale,

Trolley, this is a trolley!

First let me teach you the names of everything.

Okay?

Everybody remember these correctly!

This is called a trolley, this is a track!

The beam is standing there, across it is the arm.

All together it is known as a Crane!

This is a tripod….

this is a camera, this is a high-head.

This is a thermocol and on the other side is the reflector.

Grandma, tell me what is this called?

I have no idea, none of those will go into my mouth!

It is so big, how will it go in your mouth!

Bro, well said bro!

Didn’t you understand even a single name?

You said Kaali, Sooli, tooli…

I didn’t understand anything.

I only got the Perumal Kovil!

Did I call it a Perumal Kovil?

That is good! Do one thing, give all of these names that you can remember!

As long as you can remember it!

You made thermocol into a Perumal temple!

Bro, it moves when you push it from behind.

We generally push buffaloes from behind.

That is why this is named Buffalo bro.

Amazing bro!

Bro, what is that thing that has a long neck in the forest?

It is Girafabe…!

It is not a Girafabe, it is a giraffe!

Bro, what does call this a giraffe!

Amazing bro!

Yes, see it has four legs… and a long neck!

Its head is there,

Bro, then what is this end?

Hey bro, get away from there… it might put dung on you!

Yes, come away!

Hey wait, let’s see how they shoot a movie.

We are doing all the hard work!

What about you, what will you do?

This is the pad,

I will hold this. I will read from this when I direct!

You want us to do all the hard work

and you’ll hold this small pad!

You can direct one day and we will direct the other!

-We can all be directors together! -Okay, we will do it like you want!

Grandpa, are you finish naming it?

We are naming it, just a second!

Bro, what shall we name this?

It is black, it has a big mouth…

it even has a tail!

-What can you name it? -Grandpa!

If you name it a pig, I will walk away from here!

As it is black, let us call her Blackie!

-Amazing bro! -Grandpa… put that on this, I’ll be back!

Put what on what?

Lift that and keep it on top of this!

Now that we have named it, use that name!

Left the blackie and put it on the Buffalo, I’ll be back!

Say it like that!

This is like watching a movie in the Bioscope!

Press the red button and say ‘Action’.

Grandpa, once grandma says action… what do you need to do is

Push the trolley slowly and pull it back without shaking it at all!

Do all of it slowly, go and hold it!

Do you mean the Buffalo?

Yes, the Buffalo! Go and hold it!

Ac-sha-gun!

Old Lady, look at me first!

What did I tell you to say?

-What did I tell you to say! -Ac-sha-gun!

-Not Ac-sha-gun.

-No, no. Say ‘Ah’ -‘Ah’

-‘ic’ -‘ic’

-‘sa’ -‘sa’

-‘in’ -‘in’

Action!

Ac-sha-gun!

Can't you say 'Action'?

Say as I say.

-'Ac' -'Ac'

-'son' -'son'

Action!

Ac-sha-gun!

Say whatever you want, go!

Instead of shooting a movie, he is teaching class for grandmas!

Instead of this couldn't he go work in a factory?

Ready... Camera...

Ac-sha-gun!

♪A cow herding old man is now watching the monitor♪

♪Cow herding old man is watching the monitor♪

♪Oh foolish king…♪

♪He went across seven mountains just to fight a pig♪

It is superb old lady!

Grandpa, it looks superb. Grandpa!

Brother!

What are you making a movie about?

My mother is sitting in the astrologers’ home with my horoscope.

What aunty, why have you come here?

Is losing one life not enough for you?

What did the fool astrologer say today?

-We shouldn’t live in an ancestral home. -Should we sleep in the graveyard?

You came here believing him, he is a fraud bugger!

What are you screaming about?

What do you want?

What do I want? I want my uncle’s life back, give it to me!

Did I tell him to go and die?

Can I be responsible because he committed suicide?

You said he would beg for food, why didn’t that happen?

Why couldn’t you find out that he was going to die in two days?

Do you want a beating from me?

Swamy, his questions are legitimate!

Answer his questions Swamy.

You saw his horoscope and said he would beg, right?

I couldn’t you figure out that he would die?

Hey, he is a fool! Why are you listening to him?

I feel his questions are right!

If you cannot answer that, what kind of an astrologer are you?

The most important thing in the horoscope is the time of death!

If you cannot figure that out, how accurate are your other predictions?

It’s our fault that we came to you.

Come let’s go, we will have to suffer if we listen to this guy!

At least now we know the truth!

We don’t know how many families have suffered because of him.

Hey, you better mind your own business!

If you ever talk about my work again, you won’t live to talk!

This is my work, the world will know your lies!

Then if you beg people, they will still not come to you for predictions!

How dare you say that?

-What will you do about it? -I will kill you!

You either shut up or I will make you shut up!

Die you… who do you think I am?

-Please don’t do this. -Once I get my hand on you!

-Don’t do this, stop it! -Let me go aunty, I will show him!

If you keep doing this, you will devastate many families!

Hey, go!

I’m only getting started.

Just keep watching what will happen to you!

They are making a movie out of the story of their uncle’s death,

and you are the villain in that.

He came and told two people,

They rejected you and walked away!

If his movie releases then you will be ruined!

He will not make that movie!

I will not let him make it.

He has taken me lightly…

MLAs and MPs show me the greatest of respect!

But this is useless fellow is trying to fight me!

Let me see…

It’s either going to be him or me!

Hey, what is this?

I thought you would come and support me and work in the shoot!

No uncle, I do want to be with you.

But I cannot leave the shop.

I got this vehicle for the shop!

Use this for the shoot brother.

Make a good movie!

I was really worried how I was going to move the equipment and people!

This will help me to finish the movie!

Shall we give it a name?

Let us name it a kitten.

We have 2 kittens in the home, let us name it something else.

-Shall we name it Mosakutty? -Mosakutty, superb!

Mosakutty!

♪With a round on our forehead♪

♪Hey… hey ho!!♪

♪We are going on our vehicle♪

♪Hey… hey ho!!♪

♪With a round on our forehead♪

♪Hey… hey ho!!♪

♪We are going on our vehicle♪

♪Hey… hey ho!!♪

-Ready… camera... rolling ji! -Ac-sha-gun!

♪Wearing a silk saree♪

♪Hey… hey ho!♪

♪We are going to make a movie Hey… hey ho!♪

We too are Cinema people!

Mosakutty was not a vehicle for us, it too was like a grandchild!

Grandson, all the actors in the movies are so good looking!

The actors in our movie are unattractive old people!

-Do you think people will see our movie? -Grandma, we know how we look!

No matter how I frame it, we always look bad!

We are not making a big budget action flick!

or a romantic movie in some exotic location!

This movie is so that, what happened to us doesn’t happen to anybody else!

Even if one life is saved because of this movie, that would be enough!

Grandpa, don’t keep anything on the railway tracks!

The only good thing the British gave us are these trains!

Otherwise, these tracks would be useless!

Still camera, Amazing!

Hey it will be very useful for the movie!

Yes, we need it for poster designing!

Yes, we are shooting next to the railway tracks!

Okay bro.

A friend of mine is getting his still camera!

It generally costs more than Rs.50,000 or Rs.60,000!

It will help us make the movie, Okay, today what we will shoot is…

You will come next to the train tracks selling your turkey berries.

As soon as the trolley comes and stops You walk next to the tracks.

As soon as I call you, you should Come calling ‘Turkey berries, turkey berries!

Go stand there, keep looking at me come as soon as I call you!

The train is here, come grandma!

Come grandma! Come on dammit!

-Come! -come quickly!

Hey you hug, what are you doing?

The train is almost gone, come quickly!

The daughter of the shop owner…

she eloped with the bus conductor!

I knew that would happen, the amount of make-up she would wear.

Her bindhis, her flowers… and her hair styles!

She wasn’t going to college to study! She wanted elope with the conductor.

Hey, what are you doing here?

The shop owner’s daughter ran away with the bus conductor!

Oh, I can’t believe it!

I will punch you right in the face!

I am shouting that the train is gone you are gossiping over here!

Hold this, you come with me!

-Why are you acting like this? -You are the reason why I lost a shot!

The shop owner’s daughter…

-eloped with the bus conductor! -You too should have gone with them!

Oh, she runaway forever!

You switch places.

The shop owner’s daughter…

Wait, I will come back and listen to it!

When I call raise this on her head and send her!

A train won’t come when we want it to, we have been waiting for 45 minutes!

Why are you acting like this?

Hey, a train is coming!

Come grandma! Grandpa…!

-Hey come quickly! -Where is she?

Oh damn you, come already!

Hey this train will also be gone, come soon.

Hey, come already

-Where are they? -What the hell?

You were roaming the forests and hunting monkeys!

-I gave you a life by marrying you! -Yeah, yeah that is what happened!

You treated me like a queen, that is why I cook and clean for you!

This is what I get for feeding you all these years!

You are not going to stop this!

Here you go.

Be ready and come when I call for you!

Keep looking at me and don’t screw it up again!

My first signature as chief minister will be to divorce this old man!

Come grandma!

Don’t look at the camera, just keep going ahead!

Turkey berries… turkey berries!

Enough, enough stop and come!

Grandma, take the camera and remove the battery.

Should I put the battery to charge!

Grandpa, note down that the last take is okay.

Hey bro, come.

-Greetings! -Greetings welcome!

Your grandparents are doing all the work?

None of the assistant directors are willing to come.

-Then, how are you? -I’m fine!

-I told you about the camera, right? -Yes!

I have got it see if you like it!

If we take quality stills during the shoot,

-it will help in poster designing! -Here you go.

Is this the camera you told me?

This, where did you buy this?

-I bought it in Palani! -How much did it cost?

-Rs.300. -I will not be able to use this camera.

I was expecting a DSLR camera it costs 50 to 60,000!

If I had that much money, I would have a government job now!

Yeah, I was expecting a DSLR camera!

-This won’t be useful for the movie. -Oh really?

Hey, what are you doing here?

Sir, we are doing a rehearsal for a short film!

Be in a short film or a long film,

Did you get permission to shoot Railway tracks!

-We didn’t go near the railway tracks! -Did you shoot the tracks?

How can we shoot the tracks? See if there are any bullet holes!

-Grandma, keep quiet. -Are these old people making fun of us!

Did you shoot the railway tracks?

Do you know what the fine is for shooting without permission?

Three lakh rupees!

Why are you talking with them sir?

Let’s just seize their camera sir.

Hey look, grandma is hiding something.

Hey, old lady. Wait right there!

Hey get lost!

-Whenever a girl walks in the streets, -What are you hiding?

If she is even a bit good-looking…

All the men come following her!

Sir is calling for you!

I don’t care about your sir!

-Don’t you have mothers and sisters? -Hey, show me what you’re hiding!

If you keep following me,

I will file an eve teasing case on you!

Hey, what are you doing there?

I ate some leftovers in the morning!

I felt my stomach rumbling! That is why I came here!

-No, I don’t believe you!

If you don’t believe me, come and see!

Oh no, what crap!

Hey, did you see what it was?

Sir, that grandma is going number two!

No, I don’t believe her!

If you doubt it go and see it for yourself!

I would rather resign my job!

-Hey, where is the camera? -Sir, I wasn’t aware of this!

-Sir, I will not come here again! -Just give me the camera!

-Sir, please sir! -Where is the camera?

Get me the camera?

-Sir please don’t take the camera, sir. -Hey check that bag.

-Please, don’t take my camera sir! -Give the bag here!

-The camera is in here sir. -Take it and let's go!

If you want your camera, come and pay the fine!

You don’t need to say anything!

I know how to deal with all of you!

-Was there anything else in the bag? -Nothing.

Thank God! Instead of 3 lakhs we only lost 300!

Grandma,

did you really go number two?

If you doubt it, come and see!

He will die soon!

That’s it, just keep the modulation in mind!

Just 10 minutes, then you can leave!

Okay I will do it!

Hey, centre of the light and come inside.

You say that as per my birth chart I will end up a beggar!

I get depressed and commit suicide.

Talk like how these astrologers speak!

Excuse me, was it the Vadukupatti Astrologer that went in?

This wasn’t him.

He is Konganavaram Thangarasu,

he works in the weaving.

We are shooting here,

that is why his make-up looks like that.

I came to ask you Rs.500…

I thought he was and went behind him!

He has found someone and made them look just like you.

If that movie is released, you will not be able to go outside.

Nobody will ever believe you!

Hey, do you want money?

-Yes, just Rs. 1,000… -Go and get it, go.

Swamy, it’s a waste going into legal proceedings for such small issues.

Not only that, our inspector is very honest.

You don’t worry about those boys.

They are still roaming around in an auto, right?

Just give them a small tap.

If they break their hands and legs,

they will never again think about making a movie!

You just do it, I will take care of the rest!

I will do that, this is his time to die.

Hey it popped out?

Put it in well, else it will fall in the take.

Enough leave it.

I Vellaiamma,

as per the constitution…

Grandma, grandma! This is not a pillow!

-Brother is calling, come let’s go. -I am sleepy, I can’t come.

Get up quickly!

She acts she a famous actress already!

Get up! The lice from your head, will go into the camera!

-I was handing out free ration… -Has Grandma come?

-She will come soon. -She is making a scene,

Hey, the light hurt’s my eyes!

Put it back, stick it well so that it doesn’t fall.

Is it stuck well.

Don’t increase the exposure anymore, it will look grainy!

Let it be as I set it!

Hey, trolley movement must be smooth,

Grandma, you come here.

I will lay on that mat!

The grandson that you loving raised…

has committed suicide because of lies!

Because of that…

you must cry in mourning!

Hey wait, what happened?

Are you gone mad?

Why are you ripping everything off?

Let me go Grandma!

-The costume will be useless. -Who cares about your damn movie!

What the hell are you dressed as?

-What is wrong with her? -He’s the one dress like a corpse!

This is just pretend for shooting!

She has ruined it!

She is becoming more and more insufferable!

What is the matter with her?

Why grandma you are making an issue half way through the shoot?

Children are supposed to do the last rites of their parents.

Do you know how it feels when parents do the last rites of their children?

When I saw my Poovappa…

dressed as a corpse that day…

I can never forget it!

When I saw him dressed like that, how could I bear to see it?

Now they are not shooting it like that!

Come…

Ready, switch on all the lights.

This is the last position.

Hey brother, mark it.

Grandma, now…

We have put some wood and rubbish to burn over there!

You have to cry looking at that!

-Okay. -Ready?

Cut it, cut!

Stop it, stop.

Grandma, what kind of crying is this!

This isn’t enough, cry a bit more!

More hands like this and…

cry like this, Grandma. Only then it will look good, okay?

Cry a bit more!

Grandma wait, what are you doing? This isn’t enough!

What I want you to do is,

remember how you cried when they cremated Poovappa.

Remember with how much care you raised him!

How you must have felt when they cremated him before your eyes?

Remember that feeling and cry like that!

-Only then it will look good. -Okay.

-Are you ready? -Shall we move the trolley?

No, let it be. I will tell you when to move it.

Oh, my dear son…!

How could this happen to you?

How could that god…

take you away like this?

When will I see you again…?

I can’t live like this anymore…!

-Oh, my boy! -Okay cut.

Grandma, stop crying.

How could you leave me and go my boy…?

My sweet boy when will I see you again…?

Hey Ratnam…!

Brother she is crying for real…

Ratnam… what is this?

The boy that raised in these very hands!

♪As the pearl of the eyes, in the shadow of the womb♪

♪We were born as one…♪

♪Even when the land, ocean and sky is long gone♪

♪We will never forget each other!♪

♪The relationship can never be spilt apart!♪

How can I play the character that was to be played by Nasser?

Close your eyes and sleep here!

Baby, you sing something and play with him.

Okay?

Dad, you are just returning from performing!

Stop the cycle in this spot!

Baby, once he arrives,

you must say ‘Brother isn’t well and that is vomiting’.

‘Okay let us take him to the hospital,’

‘let me go and burrow some money’

saying this dad will leave!

Did you understand?

Grandpa, the break-time is over, come quickly!

Grandpa, you must lower it when I tell you to!

Ji, why do you keep meddling with Blackie?

Finish the work ji!

I have farm work to attend to Ji!

Blackie is ready Ji,

lift up the Giraffe Ji!

Hey Ji, why are you just standing there?

Come and pull the rope Ji!

You want me to stand and pull,

while she gets to sit and relax?

Everybody will be carried away some day,

-Why Ji, are you is such a hurry? -Well said Ji!

-Silencer! -Dad, are you ready?

-Did you vomit my boy? -Did you vomit my boy?

I will go and borrow some money,

Once we go to the hospital you will become well!

-Please drink this. -Okay cut!

Grandma, just 10 minutes… then you can leave.

Okay my boy!

Grandpa… I told you to hold the umbrella to Blackie, not you!

What are you doing sister?

What other work can we do?

It is only this movie shooting!

What can you be doing when Dad comes…?

Will you sit at the grind stone?

-Okay. -Then go and sit there!

Hello director, come and sit here!

Grandma, come and hold the Perumal Kovil to her face!

Just wait a little longer,

-I have to sweep the stables. -What sweeping again!

Hey, I will kill you!

I know you are just pretending to sweep!

Come and hold this!

Grandma, you sit.

You come to this side and hold the thermocol!

Grandpa, sprinkle some water on the ground.

Reduce the exposure a bit!

Grandma are you ready?

Look at my hand when you speak.

We don’t have any drinking water in our village!

We have to walk 3 miles to get some!

There are no good roads,

It is very difficult for the children to go to school!

Seeing a camera, you think it is for news reels!

This is not our fault!

The government has made us like this!

Grandma, I don’t want you recite our problems!

Just say what I teel you to!

-Okay? -Okay.

Dad will come here,

and ask you for some money!

Oh no! I went to the market on Wednesday.

I bought 2 goats there.

I don’t have any money left!

Just say this much, okay?

Okay, okay.

Hold it to her face!

I was holding it correctly you are the one who moved it!.

Ready?

Grandma, are you ready?

Oh no Ganesha!

I went to go to the market Ganesha.

I got on the bus Ganesha!

I went to the mini bus Ganesha!

I got down from the bus…

I drank a tea Ganesha!

Then I bought 2 goats Ganesha!

I don’t have any money Ganesha!

-You are dead Ganesha! -Why, wasn’t it good!

Why are you killing me Grandma?

-Understand me. -Yes, tell me!

He is a folk artist!

He is poor, he is asking in need!

-You must say no with regret. -Okay.

You feel sorry looking at him.

I don’t have it Ganesha!

-If I had I would definitely give. -Okay, okay!

Say this, sadly.

Only then it will look good in the movie.

Don’t be nervous.

I will teach you how to do it.

Ready, action!

Oh no, Ganesha…!

I went to the market Ganesha…!

I bought two goats Ganesha…!

I’ve lost everything Ganesha…!

This old lady is killing me Ganesha…!

I am going to go mad Ganesha…!

How will I make this movie Ganesha…!

Oh no, Ganesha…!

Stop it Ganesha.

Grandma, don’t cry like this.

Say it with a bit of sadness.

-Okay? -Okay…

Sing it again!

Action!

It wasn't great, do one more take!

-Why grandma, this was good? -It was good…

still do one more take!

Goats… 2 goats… goats… 2 goats…

Grandma, we have already bought 18 goats!

Please say it correctly grandma!

Oh no Ganesh…

I bought two goats in the market.

If I had it I would give.

Okay, this was a good take.

-What do you say director? -Even if it was good, do two more takes.

The flour is not ground well.

-Two more takes and it will be done. -You…!

He called Alamelu grandma…

to shoot just for 10 minutes.

He keep redoing it till the evening, and she got a migraine!

Not just a migraine, she is running a high fever.

Not just a fever,

she is vomiting and has diarrhoea!

She has been suffering for the past four days!

He will come and ask you to act, but in the end he will kill you!

So you want if he calls, don’t anybody dare go!

Are we mad, to do so?

He might not have any work, but we do!

-Hey, Suresh… -Yes Swamy…

Not only have I lost income because of him,

I have lost all peace of mind.

He looks like a half cremated corpse!

I haven’t slept because I keep worrying about him!

Not only has he insulted me here, he wants to insult me in his movie!

He’s not some kind of Gandhi Swamy,

will his bio-pic run Housefull shows?

Everybody used to fold their hands in front of me!

I have never been insulted like this.

If I let him live, my life will have no meaning!

I will take care of whatever happens,

you just do what I say!

We keep eating this in that,

you just keep looking at us… why don’t you eat the ice cream?

If you don’t want that, drink this tea.

Do you think Mosakutty will drink tea like you?

You said it was consuming too much diesel?

Can I ever win an argument with you?

Hey, the moustache guy is coming.

Uncle, we are shooting a scene where dad comes asking for money.

‘If I give you money on Friday, all my riches will come to you.’

-Please say this dialogue. -Oh no, I am getting late!

-Just 10 minutes. -I have to meet the Tahsildar.

Just say that dialogue and go.

Sister, please sit there for now.

Poor guy…!

Check the focus.

Ac-sha-gun!

Who asked you to do that, just look at the shot.

Action, come!

-Shall I go? -Yes go, go.

Brother, brother…

please wait brother.

Why did you come this far?

Stop where dad shows his hand and say your dialogue.

This is where the focus is, you have to stop before this!

Look, this leaf is your mark.

It’s running.

Come uncle… yes go.

Brother, brother… please wait brother.

Brother… look at me brother.

-What a performance! -Nephew, did I do it correct?

You can come normally uncle,

why are you looking over the bike like that?

-Hey, it is getting late! -This is just there for a mark!

Don’t come looking at it.

Turn around and come.

-Brother… please wait brother. -Did I stop correctly?

Oh, don’t ask me that uncle!

Speak to dad.

-Can’t you even do this correctly? -You keep quiet!

I am the one who’s going and coming!

Shut up and sit otherwise I will slap you!

I will take care of you when we get back home…

Don’t ask me if it is right or wrong.

Just stop here and speak your dialogue!

Tahsildar will leave soon!

Just 10 minutes.

Oh, I have to geta signature the Tahsildar will leave soon!

By the time he goes, Tahsildar will retire from the job!

You are the best looking man in our village uncle!

You have a great looking moustache like Veerappan!

Do you really think so nephew?

By the time he finishes acting, and we make this movie…

I might become too old to be the chief minister!

Brother… brother,

please wait brother.

My son isn’t feeling well…

I have to take him to the hospital!

Can you please loan me Rs.2000?

Friday…

Friday!

-What comes after Friday? -After Friday comes Saturday!

If you don’t want me to beat you up, shut your mouth and sit there!

Do you think only you can beat me up, don’t think I want to beat you up!

Sister, please don’t fight.

Uncle, please say the dialogue correctly once…

Tell me if you don’t want me to be with you anymore!

Enough, turn around and come from there!

To hell with you and your shooting!

Uncle, wait uncle!

-He is going to run and catch him! -Hubby…!

-Wait hubby! -Uncle, take your wife with you!

I don’t want my wife or my shirt, just forget about me!

Hubby, wait… hey stop you fool!

Boys, just come for 10 minutes I will shoot the scene with you!

Oh no!

Runaway everybody!

Sister, just 10 minutes sister…

Hey, what was that!

Grandma, is that what this is for?

No, you have to wear the saree in the continuity!

Should I always wear an old saree?

Can’t I ever where a silk saree.

♪If the sunlight is too much, what are we to do?♪

♪If it increases, what will do?♪

Look at grandpa and frame him in the centre!

A bit more, little bit more… just a little bit more!

Grandma, you are using the crane to pick drumsticks!

You don’t know anything, who can act like Shivaji?

I don’t want to argue, I am a Simbu fan!

♪In the master shot, give a left look♪

♪To the camera give a right look! That’s it baby! ♪

♪Close shot…♪ -Hey!

It is coming towards us!

Everybody run to safety!

Eat it, or else I will give you to the shooting vehicle!

Satyaraj is acting in this movie, you will never get another chance like this.

♪In the hard disk, make a coffee♪

♪Make what?♪

He said we must put a coffee in this

I think it will keep it hot.

♪Dubbing is next - Hey… hey ho!♪

Grandpa! This is a hard disc.

Why are you pouring coffee in it?

♪Lip-sync and modulation is important!♪

♪Making a movie - Hey… hey ho!♪

♪This is a living - Hey… hey ho!♪

♪Is this a living – Well said baby♪

♪we could instead herd buffaloes for a living!♪

♪we could herd four buffaloes…♪

After that we went to Pondicherry,

and shot the hospital portions

and how somebody kidnapped his son,

while he went to the shop.

We completed all of these portions.

Mark in and out after the bus is out of frame.

-I am really scared. -Oh it’s nothing, don’t worry.

See if anyone is coming.

Close your eyes and pray.

My sister said she doesn't have earrings...

my dad said he doesn't have any money.

Please god buy us everything.

I feel sorry for my sister, god!

Ratnam... hey!

Lord, in this world...

everything happens because of you.

Without you and your grace...

nothing can happen.

you are doing all of this from within me.

I don't know anything.

You are responsible for everything!

Give me all your powers, mother!

Ratnam... Ratnam?

Mother, here is your sacrifice!

Hey Ratnam!

-What happened? -Swamy... swamy...

somebody is coming swamy!

Quickly elope!

It is gut-wrenching!

Even we find it hard to watch!

But only if it stays in people’s heart, they will save their kids from such godmen!

We don't want this to happen to anyone.

Is everything we shot till now good?

Editing is done Grandpa...

we have to dub it and see.

What is Dubbing?

Dubbing Grandpa...

When we shoot my voice and noise gets recorded as well.

So we have to record the dialogue as per lip sync!

Does that mean whatever we shot was a waste!

It is not a waste Grandpa.

In Madras they have mixer, mic and other equipment

Sound is recorded in a better quality.

If we have that equipment can't we do it ourselves?

No Grandpa, the studio will have acoustics.

Then sound from inside will not come out,

and sound from outside will not come in.

If we do it here it will echo.

It might go indoors, we could do it outside?

Outside there will be lot of noise!

What noise will come here?

Once a day the milk van will honk its horn.

Other than that, there might be some bird noise.

They will fly away if you burst a cracker.

Your grandma will always keep yapping about something!

Burst a cracker in her mouth as well!

Speak right into this mic,

are you ready?

His veins have been cut and lost a lot of blood, this is a critical situation.

We have to operate, it will cost you a lot!

It might be more than 50 to 60,000!

Whatever it is I will pay it!

-Please save my son! -First go and buy these medicines.

Am I going to die father?

Oh no, I have the money…

I won’t let you die!

Oh no, I have the money…

I won’t let you die!

No, it sounds normal. You must cry and say it.

Oh no, I have the money…

I won’t let you die!

If you don’t dub it well, all your hard work in acting will be wasted!

Cry like you did when you were acting and say the dialogue.

Oh no, I have the money…

I won’t let you die!

Grandma, don’t make so much noise!

What kind of stupid games are you playing in this hut?

How can I wash clothes without making noise?

Hey, see what I have in my hand.

Latest show the movie we have made till now.

That might encourage them to come and act.

What grandma, you’re bringing a mat like this is a picnic?

Yes, I have acted in this movie as well!

♪Chitravalli, I must go to foreign land…♪

Oh no Ganesha…

I went to the market and bought 2 goats.

If I had it, I would give it to you.

Alamelu Grandma, we will see you in the theatres.

Yes, I look like Sridevi on the screen!

Bye sister.

We will reach Pondicherry today evening

After seeing the doctor, by the night bus we will be here in the morning.

Yes, we will be here by tomorrow.

Don’t be afraid!

Take care of yourself.

Priya, superb!

-please save my son! -First buy these medicines.

I will give you the money later.

Don’t you understand what I’m saying.

This is a business, not a charity!

Without money there is no medicine!

Please help me, my son is not well!

I need money for his medicines, please help me out.

You look well enough to work.

Why can’t you earn a living, what is this nonsense?

Fraud…!

Dear sir…

it’s okay if you don’t want to give!

But please don’t say those words.

I have always worked for everything.

I am a folk artist!

Is it so…?

Knowing that a man wearing green shirt and a ponytail,

my parents have raised me as a fool!

Folk artist … you?

I have seen so many people like you!

Get lost!

-He’s lazy buggers! -Who knows, he might be an artist?

You don’t know anything about the real world!

He said he was an actor right?

Tell him to give a performance…

I will give him the money immediately!

Sir, what did you say?

Will you give me the money if I do a performance!

First let me see your performance.

I will sir…

I will!

♪Ladies what am I to do…♪

♪Chitravalli I must go to another country!♪

♪If I don’t go to a foreign land, If I don’t go to a foreign land♪

♪Chitravalli we will suffer a lot♪

Sir, sir…

please believe me now!

I am truly a folk artist!

I am not a conman!

You said you would give him money, if he did a performance…

Now that he did the performance,

It’s only right if you give him the money.

That is it!

Hey, play the rest of it!

We want to know if the boy survived!

First come and act in the movie, then you will be able to see!

Grandam super, I never thought you would act in the movie!

It was amazing!

Don’t make fun of me,

only I know how much I suffered!

It takes effort, I do want to act in brother’s movie!

They showed the movie last night, Apparently it is really good!

Yes, but we didn’t go though!

Yes, even after you’re dead people will watch our movie!

Yes, Shekar…

Grandma gave some of her jewels.

I thought I would pawn it and record the songs.

Arivumathi is writing 1 song!

-I am asking Su Ba.Vee for the other. -Who is following us!

Shekar, I will call you back later.

Raja, move to the side!

Why don’t you go past us?

Raja, stop and let him pass.

He is getting very close!

Who move away, or else you will hit us.

Hey, the brake is out! It is not stopping!

Hey Raja, do something and stop!

Hey, go and see what happened to your grandma!

Grandma…

Grandma…!

Grandma… Grandma?

Hey!

Welcome back to ‘Kaayam, a special look’!

What are the injuries and insults you had to face, to make such a movie?

If the vines hadn’t got caught in the tyres we would all be dead!

Do you think we don’t know he is the reason for everything?

Have you come here to do rowdyism, are they your gang members?

Brother, MLA is here.

To find a date for his daughter’s marriage!

He doesn’t have time to fight with good for nothing buggers like you!

Hey, stop staring and get lost!

-Come let’s go. -If you stay here I will Trash you

The astrologer has told me everything!

As long as you don’t disturb him, do whatever the hell you want!

Get lost!

Go!

They won’t be afraid looking at us!

But there will be afraid of the movie we are making!

Yes, we don’t know how grandma is!

Go to the hospital!

I wonder how many times we come here, we never get bored of it?

I really love this place!

This is where we first met,

This is where we professed our love!

This is where our parents agreed to our marriage.

This place is very special for me.

Hey… you crazy!

Not just for you…

-this is special for me as well! -Why don’t we get married here?

Don’t crazy things,

our parents have many dreams about our marriage.

They want to have a grand ceremony!

Okay it’s late, come let’s go!

Hey he is your Professor, right?

Hey you fool.

Now, are you going to Chennai?

A friend told me, he knows a director who is shooting a movie in Salem.

I must go and meet him.

How long will you wait for an opportunity?

I cannot wait any longer!

If you can, wait. Or else get lost!

Hey don't say that!

Yes, after I become a big time actor I will marry a big time actress!

Don't play with me!

Once I get a chance in this movie...

then someday I will marry Trisha or Nayantara.

Why will I marry you?

As you can't wait for me, you can go!

Don't act too much!

Hey, do you have a death wish?

Hey!

You fool!

Hey, have you gone mad?

Hey, this is you last warning!

Even if you joke with me about this?

I will die than and there!

I am Rajkumar!

I made a movie on my own

All the money I had for shooting...

I paid for Hospital expenses.

What Grandma, how are you doing now?

I am better now.

Where is her X-Ray?

The bone is well set.

Grandma, the bone has healed up well.

But you are a bit weak.

Take lots of liquid food!

Can I drink Coffee?

-Yes, you can. -Can I drink tea?

You can have any liquids you want!

Can I drink alcohol as well?

Wow, look at her!

Sir, this grandma is very naughty sir.

I took her to take the X-ray!

She asked what lens I am using?

She asked if the X-ray was a long shot or close-up!

When I told her to turn she only did so after I said action!

After 10 days we returned home from the hospital!

After that, they asked money from everybody!

But it was no small amount, 10 lakh rupees!

Who would trust us to give that much in loan.

All they gave was reasons, nobody give money!

As we have time, we would do our farm work

Nephew, nephew. Stop the bike nephew!

What is it uncle?

-Give me a roll your movie! -Really, will you act?

Yes, I will give a great performance!

Okay, show me a sample.

It rains from the sky…

it grows from the ground!

Why should I pay interest to you?

That’s not ‘interest’ uncle, it is ‘tax’!

You have gotten used to paying interest to the society!

Okay uncle, I will let you know when I start shooting.

Hey, I have a lot more nephew!

Keep it all ready for the shoot uncle!

Did you help us plough the land or sow the seeds…?

Did you help water the crop

or did you wash our tools!

Why should we pay tax to you?

Grandma…

You showed the movie the other day!

Everybody is asking your grandson for a chance to act.

Must they ask your grandson, can’t I just ask you!

Won’t he listen if you tell him?

He will listen, but you should stop with acting.

You shouldn’t get into politics!

I won’t go into politics by myself.

I will always be with you like a sister!

Its good thing we showed them the movie.

Yes brother, now they won’t elope when they see our auto.

Now the people are interested.

More importantly we need 10 to 15 lakh rupees!

It would be nice if we could feature 50 to 60 people in the engagement scene.

Enough, switch it off!

But with this new interest, I think 50 to 60 people will come.

Not just 50 even 50 more might come!

How can we feed them all?

We must tell them to bring their own food.

Yes, yes! You want them to work for you,

and bring their own food?

It would cost Rs.5000 to feed them all!

So Grandma is going to sponsor it!

Yes, yes! Just because I pointed out the obvious,

You want me to foot the bill!

Brother , he wants to act in our movie. Will he be apt for the comedy police?

Everybody comes for 4 days and then they leave us hanging!

We are forced to reshoot all of those portions!

Can we ask them to sign an agreement?

Why can’t we have an agreement?

Will the union enforce it, or could we file a court case?

I will make him come!

-Hey hold him! -Who is the guy wearing a blue shirt?

It is me!

Why have you come here?

I was asking for a chance to act.

Do you promise to come to the end of shoot?

I will surely do that.

Then swear it upon me!

-I swear I will come! -Put the holy-ash on the face!

Hey…

Hey you fool!

Not on his face, put it on the lord’s face!

Oh is this a possession?

Do you know what will happen if you don’t come after swearing that you will?

-I know! -You will get un-ending diarrhoea!

Oh, I didn’t know that!

Not just for you!

Everyone in your family will get un-ending diarrhoea!

Oh no, don’t do that!

My kid is preparing for +2 exams!

She will get less marks!

Please don’t do it!

-I will surely come! -Take the lemon and put it in the mouth!

Hey fool put it in my mouth!

Hold him tight!

You should come whenever they call you!

I will come whenever they call!

Whenever they call, I will come

Also feed 50 people on the day of the shoot!

Okay, I will come and bring food!

In the end he even solved our food problem!

You know that Quarry Nama Shivayam, right?

He will give you the money, but he will ask for some property papers!

You should ask him.

To buy shooting equipment we sold our goats!

To buy the dubbing equipment we sold the jewels!

If you want more money, can we sell our fields?

You don’t need to sell it, we can pawn it!

We sold everything and gave you the money!

If we even lose the field, will we sleep on the street?

Our kids are grown…

We can work together and earn some money!

We could buy some fields and build a house!

I thought we could finally buy some riches for the family!

But instead wishing for something we don’t have

We are going to lose everything we did have!

Where will it go? Once the movie releases we can get it all back!

We don’t know how to get back the money we have already invested!

We will only get back the money once the movie is finished!

How can we get back the money with the half-finished movie!

It’s okay if we do get it back.

How can we believe we will get it?

Is this like selling mangoes or coconuts?

That we can take it from market to market to sell it!

How can we believe it will work?

You have to believe me!

I asked everybody in the village!

Nobody is believing me!

That is when I came to you.

Where can I go, if even you refuse?

Take this!

I grew up in these fields,

I must one day be buried here!

I must die in these fields!

If we are about to loose these fields,

my life will leave my body at that instance!

You asked 10 lakhs to go and act in a movie…

I will get you 20 lakhs from your father,

just forget about that girl!

When you said you love that girl,

I was more happy than you!

Please try to understand why we are refusing now!

When I jokingly said I will marry an actress,

She was ready to die, do you think she will live after she hears this?

After all we said, you are still only thinking about the girl!

No matter how many times you tell him,

he is not going to change his mind!

He must be thinking we are joking when we say I will die!

No matter how much you try,

he’s only concerned about that girl!

What does he care if I die,

he won’t even care if I am ruined!

Do you want to marry that girl even if your father will die?

If anything happens to your father,

I will die the very next minute!

I feel like my head is going to explode!

You keep calling her daughter-in-law!

You called her parents in-laws!

Now if you refuse the marriage!

She will die there, you both will be here!

Instead I will go to hell!

Hey Sri, don’t do this!

Having given birth to you and raised you,

We gave you everything you ever wanted!

I will ask you for one last thing!

Please save my husband!

Don’t you know about your father?

My business is to make sand out of hills.

You and your father became performers.

Now your son is making a movie, That is good news.

From our village AP Nagarajan made it in the film industry.

Cinema is not something easy,

Your son will be successful one day.

Believe in your work and good things will happen.

Thank you brother.

Make a good movie and I will see it.

Tell your son to make a nice devotional movie!

You have my wishes brother, you will be successful!

Hey it’s 2pm blast the dynamite

Hey, Swetha!

Hey…

What the hell are you doing?

Have you gone mad?

Everybody is suffering because of me.

Why must somebody die for me?

Let me die and be done with it!

You can marry somebody else and be happy!

What did you say?

I should marry somebody else and be happy?

Is that why you loved me?

If you say so we both can die together!

How could you let me be alone?

We had so many dreams…

that’s all irrelevant now!

Everybody is suffering because of us!

We were the ones who loved each other.

As this is all our fault, let us both die.

Hey…

Hey, let us jump!

Hey Sridhar…!

I’m afraid to even look at this much money.

After we got the money, crowds of people came!

We started the shooting quickly!

The small kids who are affected,

kidnap the Godmen…

and tie them up… we shot all of this!

That is when,

the girl who asked me for a chance…

I recommended her and that became a huge issue!

I have to go to Salem and arrange for Satyaraj sir to stay.

She will come in the bus, you accompany her.

Sister, you have a huge fight with you co-sister!

I always wanted to act in fight scene!

The person who will act with you is coming soon.

Before she gets here, let us do a rehearsal!

Now think of me as her! We have to fight.

A cat fight, right?

-She keep on arguing with you! -She keeps arguing, is it?

So you fight and beat her up!

After they see you fighting,

Your brothers-in-law come to beat you.

You must pick up stones and chase them away!

-Hey who the hell…? -Sister, sister. Not now!

-Later… -Okay.

Let us do it once!

Don’t be afraid and keep acting

Till I say cut!

-I am your co-sister! -You are that…

Ready…?

Hey, you use to herd pigs in Palli Balayam!

Hey, I never herded pigs… you must have done that!

How dare you say that to me?

I will slap your face off!

I will pull your teeth out! I will chop of your braid!

Sister, is a good performer!

Hey what good performance, you think I am acting?

You are a good actor sister.

Who is acting? Who the hell is acting?

You are acting, your father is acting your mother is acting…

-Who the hell is acting? -Sister, that is enough!

Sister, enough… Cut sister!

Cut what, cut your saree if you must!

My saree is good as is!

-That is not what I said! -Go and ask your husband to cut it!

Sister enough, let us end it!

Sister, sister!

-Who do you think I am? -Sister, oh no!

-How dare you talk about me like that? -Sister, I did not say anything!

-You want to end me? -I said stop acting!

-I said ‘cut’ sister. -Sister, please leave him!

Is he my brother-in-law?

Where did grandma find her? She is going to kill me!

Sister please stop, let me go!

The scene is finished sister, please stop acting!

Oh no, sister!

Oh cut sister! Hey please save me, Somebody call the police…!

Where are you going?

Brother, how was my acting?

I’m not feeling well today,

-otherwise I would’ve done a better job! -Yes, you would have killed me!

Hey, stop the car,

Swamy, why have you come this far? If you had called I would’ve come.

What man, how is your business?

With your blessing, everything is going great!

Otherwise how will you finance for movies?

Swamy, you’re talking about them?

Both father and son I had come,

The pawned the property papers and borrowed 10 lakh rupees!

That is why I give them money.

Hey, do you know what movie he is making?

He is making a movie to insult me!

I am supposedly the villain in it.

Somebody acting in it has make-up to make them look like me!

If that movie released, this entire village will spit on me!

Oh no Swamy! Oh God…

I don’t know anything about this!

now that you have told me.

Let me see how he will make this movie now!

Greetings, this is Raja Thiruvenkadam for Sun News.

Yes Panimalar, tell us what is happening there.

Yes, after the local shoot… They are going to shoot Yercaud.

Panimalar, look behind you… somebody stealing the bag on camera!

What, the camera is gone? Who took it?

By now he would’ve crossed Erode,

forget about that, what is the special news?

Special news is that… tomorrow in Yercaud, Satyaraj is coming for shooting!

Yes, Satyaraj is coming!

Sir, greetings sir.

Sir after your breakfast, we will do some light touch up.

What, didn’t you bring Satyaraj with you?

He’s gone to his room to eat breakfast.

Why, can’t he eat here with us? Must he go to his room for that?

Grandma, this is actually better. Others will demand a bus call caravan!

Otherwise they won’t come to the shoot!

What will that bus have?

You can change your costumes, put your make up, eat, sleep…

It is like a home, where you can do everything.

What will they do for one and two bathroom?

Even that can be done on it!

How can you eat there and do bathroom there as well?

Grandma, everything will be separate. They will have walls!

Brother come, sir has come.

Has he, did he not eat breakfast

Brother Satyaraj…

we are over here.

Hello Satyaraj.

Satyaraj greetings ji!

Okay, is the sound ready… quickly, how much time will you take?

Grandson, Satyaraj has no hair on his head…

is he still acting in lead roles?

Grandma, one doesn’t need hair to succeed!

It’s enough if you have brains!

Now we are cinema people…

you shouldn’t talk disrespectfully.

Learn to speak respectfully. Satyaraj Sir, Kamal Sir…

and Rajini Sir.

Ceetha fur, cat fur…

Rabbit fur.

You will not let me release the movie!

Are you ready? Sir, ready sir…

-Ready, camera… -Ac-sha-gun!

Grandma, today I am the director?

Please keep your mouth shut!

Ready… Ac-sha-gun!

Oh no!

Sorry, sorry sir.

Ready… Action!

♪Those who believe false Godmen…♪

♪and fall prey to their con in this day♪

Okay, okay cut. That was superb!

Let us go to the next line…

Brother play the sound!

Ready, camera… Action!

Very good, just like that.

Go behind him… move your hands more enthusiastically!

Yes more enthusiastically, Okay… Cut!

Yes, show the kids the movement.

Sir, let’s go for take… Ready, sound…

All the kids, move your heads!

♪Leave God and believe in mankind with kindness we can live together♪

Cut it, the focus is gone!

Brother, hello brother.

We are shooting with Satyaraj sir brother!

I can see that, turn around… I am behind you.

Where, brother? Oh just one second, I am coming!

Brother, please come…

Let me introduce you to Satyaraj sir.

You don’t need to introduce me to anybody!

I have come here for a different reason!

I have come here to take back my money.

Why are you saying that brother?

We ask you for time when we borrowed it!

That astrologer is like a God to me.

I will never do anything without his approval.

You have made his life miserable?

If I knew you were fighting with him, I wouldn’t have let you in.

So you best get me back my money!

Brother, how can you ask all of a sudden?

I have spent most of it!

Hey, don’t you understand what I’m saying…?

If I get down from the car, I will make sure you cannot shoot anymore!

Go, go and tell your father to come.

Hey, where is the director? Sir is waiting for him…

Look, I can’t keep telling everybody the same thing again and again!

I will give you one of two choices!

Either return all of my money today,

Or take two months and sign a power-of-attorney to me.

Automatically the property will become mine!

Not just that...

there must be nothing about the astrologer in this movie!

If you have shot something like that, erase everything!

Only then I will return your documents!

Hey, what... he saying like this?

How can we repay the money in two months?

We will lose our property…

Or else he said return all of the money now.

How can we do that, we have already spent it?

Somehow we will release the movie and get back the property papers in 2 months.

If we don’t sign, he will stop our shoot and everything will be lost.

We will recover our papers, you need not worry dad.

Okay brother, I will sign it.

I am telling you again,

there shouldn’t be anything about the astrologer in this movie.

Hey, move the car!

He will only know what is in the movie if he watches it.

We will somehow get our papers before that happens!

Don't tell Grandpa or Grandma about this.

You too don't be worried about it.

First let us finish this... come.

Ready, let's go for a take...

♪Brave Tamizhan♪

♪Don't have any fear our dear leader♪

♪Live without fear brave Tamizha♪

It came out better than I expected, thank you very much Sir!

Somehow we finished all of the shooting.

Then dubbing and I don't know what he called it...

he kept playing with many things!

After all the work was done,

When we had some peace, we never expected them to say this?

I couldn't get money from anywhere else.

There is no other way but to sell our equipment’s and auto!

You said you have a lot more expenses in Madras!

Without Mosakutty, we would not have been able to finish the movie.

This is not just a vehicle,

we see it as part of our family.

-That is why… -I thought of you as my child.

How can I ever forget you?

In the rain and sunshine…

who well safely take me anywhere?

Are you going to leave us?

Hey, can we buy this back when we get some money?

We can’t be sure of that.

How can we find out who the broker will sell it to?

If we keep this… we can’t finish the movie and get the property papers back.

Get up, let’s go.

They’re crying so much for the vehicle.

What will happen if they lose everything?

We finished shooting Poovappa.

I’m going to Madras…

who will sing ‘Malarnthum Malaratha’ song for me now?

How will you carry these two bags that far?

Grandpa, you are worried about these two bags…

While returning I will have a bag full of money as well,

what will I do then?

We don’t want bags full of money.

Just settle our debt,

and get back our property papers.

With the money left over after getting the papers back,

We can buy a car and roam all around.

We don’t need a car,

-let us buy back our Mosakutty instead. -Okay I will

-Grandpa, I will be back. -Okay, be safe!

-Are you going to shoot again? -I have finished shooting,

now I am going to Madras!

♪The bamboo that grows in Karuvelan forest♪

You finished the movie?

♪We plough as far as we can see We water the fields with our sweat ♪

♪For all our hard work, we have grown a dark little tree ♪

Yes grandma, next we have to do the audio launch.

That is why I asked dad to come to Chennai.

‘Audio launch’ means

our movie is ready…

Those who want to buy it can come and talk business!

Is it like when girls come of age,

we hold a ceremony to signal she is ready for marriage!

Okay sir, come… I’m at the office.

Dad, a distributor is coming… get up and get ready quickly.

Don’t be afraid to talk to them,

don’t talk too much either!

We saw your ad in the paper,

What plans do you have for the release?

We surely want to release it.

The hero and heroine in the movie are new faces.

The hero’s character is really good!

Satyaraj’s portion is even better!

Even people who are sleeping will sit up!

Does he come for a song?

Yes he comes for one song.

The song is amazing!

-Shall I sing it for you? -Dad…!

You don’t want me to?

Okay, what is your plan for the release.

We want to sell it wholesale!

He means ‘Outright’ sir.

Who does outright and minimum guarantee nowadays?

That too a small movie like this!

This is not a small movie, it will come in the entire screen.

We can book the theatres for you.

60% of the collection is for the theatre,

in the remaining 40%...

5% will be distributors commission the rest will be yours.

Think about it.

I have talked about the foreign rights with a Malaysia person!

He said he will buy it for 15 lakhs.

But…

as he had given advance new movies in the past,

Those producers took the money and did not release the movie.

That is why he is a bit hesitant.

When is your movie releasing, the previous day you will get this money.

If this is okay with you we can finalise it.

Are you sure we will get the money brother?

He bought our ‘Nanda Nandita’ movie as well!

-He is trustworthy. -Okay brother, give it to him.

FMS business is almost done, a director friend is helping us.

-Thanks… -Instead of a song with Satyaraj.

Either a Namitha or Mumtaz…

in a small skirt,

‘Will you come, won’t you come…’

‘If you don’t I won’t speak to you!’

Such a song would have been a hit!

And your movie would have sold.

Sir, Satyaraj would not look good in short skirt!

Oh my…!

Brother, hello brother. Tell me…

What brother, next Sunday your time is up!

If you come after 12 on Sunday

and even give me 50 lakhs.

I won’t to return your papers.

Next day morning I will throw all things outside your house!

I always do as I say!

Not even God can change my mind!

Brother, just a minute… brother?

It seems, making the movie is not the most difficult part nowadays.

Releasing it is very difficult!

That quarry guy, will do as he said!

The actor who played the lead, said he will support for the release.

Those who have seen the movie till now, have said it is good.

We can’t reach anybody to show them the movie and try to sell it!

With the support of the director, FMS business is done!

We will get that money one day before release!

But if he sees the movie, we will not get our papers back!

It’s okay if we don’t make a profit, we just need to get our papers back!

I think we should release the movie ourselves…

Hey, you believe in the movie right?

Don’t worry, it’ll definitely be successful!

I misjudged it when you narrated the story.

The press is praising you so much!

It’s great that you succeeded with your own money.

Thank you very much sir…

Why are you dull, when you need to be energetic?

-I have some problems. -Problem…?

You have already certified the movie…

and announced the release date.

How can I help you now?

More than that, I am not interested in theatrical releases.

That is a big headache!

I still want to help you somehow…

Yes, what did you do with the satellite rights?

I haven’t given it to anybody sir.

The movie has got positive reviews,

the satellite rates will sell for a good amount.

Sir, an advance for the satellite rights would be helpful

After the release, I will sell it to some channel and return your money.

I will even pay an interest.

I could give you 10 lakhs for that.

But what about the agreement formalities?

Sir, it’s just for a month?

I will even return your money when I get the theatre collection!

Still, how can I lend without any documentation?

We have to follow the formalities.

You have to sign, right?

With 12 lakhs I will manage the Qube expenses.

Dhanashekar…

Sir…?

-Hey…

-dad is the producer, how can I sign? -We can’t bring your dad everywhere!

We have to get our work done when they are in the right mood!

The money that you will return in two weeks!

What does it matter, who signs?

Don’t say anything and spoil everything!

Just keep quiet!

-that is okay! Go. -Okay sir.

Here, there is 12 lakhs in this.

Pay attention to publicity!

That way, you can sell the rest of the rates for a high price!

This has been a great help sir!

Will are movie release?

Will we get back our property papers?

Hey, if you take this money back home… we can get back or property papers!

But for that you will…

get the FMS money the day before the release.

We have to promote the movie from now to reach the people.

We need this money for that, don’t get confused, come!

Brother, he will always do as he says!

But how can you ask him for money when his father has expired!

But without that money, there will be a huge problem in our village.

As I know your position I called him four times, but he did not answer.

Such situations everybody will have to face.

What can I do about that?

Hey, why?

What did he say?

That Malaysia guy, isn’t answering his phone!

Believing him, we sent the movie to the theatres.

Everyone will work to bring the audience to the theatre after release!

Just by giving paper ads…

How do you expect them to come?

Hey, today’s collection isn’t enough to pay the electricity charges!

They’re going to change the movie,

they’re putting some dubbing movie!

There are no artistes, no opening… the publicity hasn’t reached anyone!

If there are no crowds, how will they not change the movie?

Uncle.

I went to Salem to watch the movie.

Our movie wasn't there another movie was playing.

I Made a Mistake Uncle.

From the time I started making this movie,

everyone in our family came wherever I asked them to and did whatever I told him to!

They sold their jewels, they sold their goats and cows.

Finally they even gave me money borrowed against their only property!

Do you know what I am going to do for them in return?

I am going to leave all of them in the middle of the streets…!

Hey, we are there for you. Why are you crying?

Stop it, don’t cry. Stop it…

Hey, why are you crying?

We made a movie to save a few lives!

To save us, somebody great is sure to come!

You said you would give him money, if he did a performance…

Now that he did the performance,

It’s only right if you give him the money.

I bought this to go to Tirupati,

I will think I put in the Hundi!

-Here you go… -Sir…

Sir you will be blessed!

You must live like a king!

Hey you, ‘ponytail’ guy…

your son stopped breathing, they are looking for you.

They are removing the movie from the theatres…

they keep calling me to tell this!

Answer and ask what they want.

-Hello… -Greetings, I am Cheran…

-Who? -I am Cheran speaking

-Sir, please tell me sir. Just a minute. -Hey, what happened?

-Sir, please tell me sir. -What brother…

-are you asleep?

No brother, how can I sleep?

I saw your movie after Rohini Madam suggested it.

It was really good.

-Okay brother…

Until this movie reaches the people… I will not sleep,

You go and sleep my boy.

Okay brother!

I spoke to other directors about your movie, I am we should have them see it.

What do you say?

Hey, who was it?

-What happened? -It was Director Cheran…

other directors are coming to see our movie!

Who and all are coming?

Everybody is coming!

My grandson tried for a police job,

but he didn’t get it.

What did you study?

-B.E. -Look at his arrogance!

I am asking what you studied, he says pee!

What kind of arrogance is this?

There is a degree like that Grandma.

What, do I look like a fool to you?

Even though you might be a police-man, this much arrogance isn’t good.

What kind of mischief is this?

I am asking what you studied, he says pee!

Is this how you answer your elders?

Hey, Muthayyi… he says there is such a degree, why don’t you just leave it?

Are all of you trying to fool me?

Who will name degrees as pee and urine?

That means I don’t know anything!

I don’t like this groom!

♪We didn’t pray for this, but all the gods came for us♪

It is unlike cinema, but a good cinema!

This was such an emotional film.

Including him the competition is between 3 people!

This is probably the first movie in Tamil Cinema with real life characters!

-Hello… -We went to Salem to watch our movie!

We must celebrate this movie like our mother and our child!

We haven’t done anything like this!

I know Cheran, when Cheran said watch Vengayam movie…

I made fun of the title with my assistants.

What he has named his movie Vengayam, Now I look like a fool!

Peyiyar’s dream has come true!

Only now cinema has reached the real people.

A movie about my people, a movie made for my people.

If I don’t make it reach people…

I have no right to say we have not made good cinema!

You have no right to ask why no one has made a good movie!

Salute!

We have the satellite rights for the Vengayam movie!

I thought it would go for 50 lakhs…

Cheran is re-releasing it!

It will go for more!

If you get a good offer, we can make a deal!

Yes, before release he sold the satellite rights to me!

That is how we did it, we did it with conviction!

Do you know who are these people here?

I don’t know.

-You don’t know any of them? -I don’t.

They are the biggest director of Tamil cinema…

Your grandson is sitting with them, How do you feel about it?

Let him sit, please everybody save my grandson!

-Everybody will save your grandson? -Yes!

These creation of Rajkumar…

has been re-released by Cheran!

Vijay TV has showcased many good movies at all times!

A father has come forward to act!

A grandmother has come forward to act!

So looking at this movie…

I wish I could make a documentary about making this movie!

If I had seen her before I made ‘Ee’ I would cast her as Jeeva’s grandma!

He wants you to act in his movie…

-will you go and act in his movie? -I will act.

I have to become the chief minister!

Swamy, they tie you up and insult you in the movie!

They you foul language to scold you, I couldn’t bear to watch it.

Swamy, I can’t take it!

He showed his cinema guy work…

now I will show him the financier work!

Which place was Cheran’s office in?

It was T. Nagar.

Which was the place they shot Vijay TV program?

That was Vadapalani!

Which was the place we were staying in?

Valasaravakkam!

So you never took us to Madras then?

Grandma this is Madras.

Driver, which place is this?

This is Koyambedu…

You have tricked us and brought to here,

and without showing us Madras you are sending us back?

Hey bro…

These guys who were making a movie…

Their fields and house now belongs to us!

It is a superb place to drink!

They promoted this movie very well in TV and Press.

But as a Theatre owner…

we want such good movies to run.

So we will give the support we can!

In cinema, a good movie is one which the people want to see!

That is all, we don’t discriminate based on budget!

That is not useful to us!

Rajkumar, Subramaniyan will run it!

But you must understand our problems!

There is a huge opening for the movie that released this Friday!

The song is a worldwide hit!

Theatre will run full for a week!

Also they are a company that regularly give us movies!

Tell Cheran sir I said this.

We ran your movie for a week because it was a good movie!

What more can we do?

If we knew this we could have delayed the release.

How will we know they would release that movie this week?

It’s not right to complain about the theatre owners.

Irrespective of how good or bad it is, people only watch movies with big artist.

Okay, what did Cheran sir say?

Theatre collection and the money from Sun TV,

After the publicity and release expense, Rs.30lakhs is left.

He said I should use that to pay of my debt!

This 13 lakhs are for that Producer.

By the time we pay back our debts…

we have to face so much humiliation

and hear so many insults!

As we pay back the money with interest,

we should return those insults as well!

Rich people can insult us…

can we ever insult them?

Sir, hello sir. Sir I have received an advance on the satellite rights!

I have to go back home urgently.

I have given your money with interest to my friend Sir,

He will come and return it to you!

Hey, how many times will you sell the satellite rights?

You already sold it to me for 12 lakhs.

Don’t you remember signing the agreement?

Sir, for an emergency I kept it as collateral and borrowed money from you!

Brother…

I have the satellite rights.

Nobody else can buy it!

Even if they do, it won’t be legal!

If I inform Sun TV about this,

you will be behind bars in a forgery case!

No matter where he goes, he can’t do anything!

Good thing, you signed it instead of your father.

If only your father had signed it…

He would have cheated and taken it all!

Fraud bugger!

It is your goodness that you are returning his money!

♪Give me a kiss to ignite the fire…♪

♪hey give me a kiss!♪

Look how many directors are working for our movie!

♪hey hug me baby!♪

Hey, where did you all go to? We have been here since last night!

Hey what have you guys done?

Quarry sir, told us to throw everything out!

Now this place belongs to us.

Look how dirty the place is.

After a little while, we were going to burn everything.

Take what you want and get lost!

It is all I can do for you.

Hey Raja, where are you?

The quarry guy’s men have come and thrown all our things out!

Dad…

Dad, I am about to get on the bus I will be there by evening!

Tell him I am bringing the money.

I will take this money and settle it in his office.

You take that money and go to your village!

Leave!

Yes, tell me…

Hey, I gave him the money at his office!

He is acting too much!

He cannot do anything,

you don’t worry about him.

Hey do you have an ulcer problem,

you will feel lightheaded.

You have money as well, eat something on the way!

Brother, give me a water bottle.

It is a very good movie! Take it, it’s just Rs.40.

Watch it…

I will give it for Rs.35.

That is what I thought, who watches good movies?

Why sir, are you travelling in the bus with this much money?

We could have gone in our car.

Hey, come you…

I have spoken in another channel for 70 lakh rupees!

I would’ve got a 50 to 60 lakh profit!

By just taking of 3 months interest, do you think I will give up 50 lakhs?

I have so many plans for that money!

There is only 17 lakhs in the bag sir.

-Hey, where is the rest? -Sir, I swear this is all that is left!

Hey turn the car to his village!

-Hold him down! -Don’t dare go to my village!

Hey, catch him!

Hey, don’t let him escape! Get him, quickly catch him!

Hey, stop…!

-He is trying to run away! -Hey, stop!

Die, you filthy dog!

He’s trying to give us the slip!

Put him back in the car, let us go to his village.

Sir, let us not go to his village!

-Why? -Village people are very dangerous sir.

No matter how many problems they have within themselves.

If they learn an outsider is causing problems in their village.

Irrespective of caste and religion they will all become one sir.

Hey look, he is trying to call somebody!

Hey!

Who was he calling?

Sir, he’s calling Cheran!

Cheran?

If he remains alive, we will have problems because of him.

The cinema people often commit suicide because of loan issues, right?

Come, we’ll see the news in tomorrow’s paper!

Cheran express might even come this way!

Including this we only got 30 lakhs,

we will lose half the amount!

You have taken the money!

Oh no…

my entire family is waiting for the money!

Mosakutty…

Mosakutty…?

Mosakutty!

Darling…

Mosakutty…

You have come so far away from us.

I never thought I would see you again Mosakutty.

Everybody in our house keeps asking for you Mosakutty.

Grandma said, once we have enough money we should buy you back.

Mosakutty, do you know our movie was released?

We used to talk if people would ever watch on movie!

Do you know how many directors, producers and press people praised our movie?

We struggled to shoot on those hills and fields!

During the release you weren’t with us.

Hey, what are you doing?

Oh no, we used to own this vehicle.

So what?

We stuck these stickers.

What are you doing with your hand inside the vehicle?

-I didn’t do anything. -Just move!

Who is this fool?

Mosakutty…?

Take care…

Go, get out!

Why, what is the issue?

Nobody knows who he is, also he is drunk!

He is not a relative of the bride or the groom!

He was talking to little children.

Those children are wearing jewels!

Don’t let such people inside.

We will have to face the consequences later.

Who are you?

I am coming from Chennai…

Okay…

I need to get to Salem, I lost my wallet.

What should I do about it?

Brother…

Have you eaten…?

Will you eat?

Come, come and eat.

Go inside and eat whatever you want.

He said he was going to act in movies and that he needed 10 lakh rupees!

I kept refusing saying, ‘Why should you pay to act?’

But when I said I will give 20 lakhs, As long as you forget that girl…

and concentrate on cinema.

I said I won’t be alive, if you marry that girl!

Where they wanted their marriage to happen…

I became the reason they jumped from the very cliff!

I can still see Swetha jump over the cliff…

They say e only realize the value of life after we lose it!

I truly understood it!

There was no peace in the house after the marriage issue started…

Our house was like a battlefield.

I was more happy than you!

But before your marriage…

we wanted to see, if there is any inauspicious things in the horoscope…

that can be cleared.

But as per the girl’s horoscope,

she has Moola Nakshatiram…!

If you marry a girl with Moola Nakshatiram,

it could kill your father!

No matter what we did, we couldn’t change their hearts…

so we left that day

to consult one last astrologer.

A girl with Moola Nakshatiram, must marry into a house without a father-in-law!

If she does marry into a house with a father-in-law…

within one year of the marriage, her father-in-law will die!

If a girl with Moola Nakshatiram, must marry into a house without a father-in-law?

Just let us die!

It must have been our fate, our car tyre got punchered.

Sir, why are you sitting here sir?

Our car tyre got punchered…

-we are waiting for him to fix it. -Hey, how long will this take?

-It’ll be close to an hour. -Sir, come and sit inside till then.

It’s okay that is not that long.

Sir, why sit out in the sun for an hour please come inside.

It’s okay, once he is done I will leave.

If the owner sees you, he will scold me!

Please come inside sir.

Hey, what are you…?

There is no crowd, only 7 or 8 people are here.

Please come sir, please come madam

Once your car is ready, I will come and inform you sir.

‘Doesn’t mean everything they say is correct’

How can we tell him, we are in no mood to watch a movie!

What time, is the time of birth?

It is when the child opens its eyes!

It is when the umbilical cord is cut.

No, it is when the child takes its first breath.

Not at all,

it is when the child is outside its mother!

Each one of you has a different opinion on this!

Then each one will write a different horoscope for the same child?

Don’t think you are very intelligent!

Brother, blood groups are either positive or negative.

Positive will only match with positive.

Positive and negative cannot mix!

Similarly, those with a negative Venus, cannot match with the positive Venus!

When does blood form inside the child’s body?

Inside the womb, within 3 months… it has blood flow.

So that is when the blood group is decided.

But time of birth…

can be changed by an operation as per our wish?

Horoscope which is determined by time of birth…

But blood that is always the same, How can they be connected?

Tell us…

you call this astrology a science?

In the same hospital, at the same time… two children are born!

In the horoscopes of those children will be the same, right?

Then will those 2 children live identical lives?

How will their lives be identical?

As their parents are different,

then the lives will also be different!

Oh, what a brilliant boy you are!

Look, how intelligent he is!

You Buffalo…!

Will twins born at the same time do the same mother…

have identical lives?

Why go far away?

Look at Chellam here,

he was born a twin.

In fact they were conjoined, and separated by surgery!

The other twin who was born with him…

died within a year…!

But he is still alive!

How do you determine marriage compatibility with horoscope?

Not knowing what kind of person he is, is he good or bad…

intelligent or foolish, educated or uneducated?

How can you tell me a girl will be happy by marrying a particular guy?

Even if everything matches in the horoscope!

But if he is a womaniser or a drunkard…

will the life of the girl be a good one!

-Sir your car is ready… -Just a minute, let us watch this movie!

Sir, please continue to watch!

Horoscope he has a lifespan of 60 years.

How do they sometimes die in an accident?

That is fate!

Everybody whose horoscope matched must have a happy marriage, right?

But many of them are separated!

That is what is fate!

If everything happens is per fate,

Why do you study horoscopes…

say there is problems and do penance or give sacrifice!

You bloody,

why do you rape innocent girls?

Answer her now!

If a man can learn everything from horoscopes,

Why can’t they learn the fate?

Everybody is suffering because of me,

I was born in Moola Nakshatiram!

Why must somebody else die because me?

Let me die and be done with it!

Those who married after matching horoscopes… were they always happy?

That girls horoscope says I will die,

in your horoscope…

it says you’ll stay continually married for 70 years!

Which of these horoscopes will work?

The questions that those kids asked,

are stuck in my head!

We never thought about all of this till this day!

I don’t understand anything,

I am still confused.

I don’t have any confusions!

I am very clear about this…

Swetha is our daughter in law!

Hey, see what they are doing!

Hey Sridhar!

Hey you marry that girl…!

Oh no, oh she gone…!

Oh no, we came to give our blessings for their marriage!

Through some good karma, they both survived!

It would be best if my daughter-in-law were to say that…

Swetha…!

I am not used to speaking on the mic like this.

When everything became normal, we tried to watch the movie.

but it was removed from all theatres.

We saw it on a pirated VCD.

That movie would have changed many lives like it did ours.

You might not believe me,

I have kept the VCD of the movie in our Puja room!

I told Sridhar...

we must invite, the director who wrote that story.

But he said, they are big wigs...

They might even be in a foreign country shoot their next movie.

He said we won't be able to see them.

I just felt if we gave an invitation and thanked him I would feel better.

Even though I couldn't meet him personally,

I must thank him on this stage.

Brother, we don't know who you are...

This story that you wrote, this movie you made.

has saved my life!

The life we live from this day was given to us by you!

We will never forget you.

Thank you so much!

Hey you!

Hey, did you eat something?

I am full sir!

This wound can heal wounds of many others

A hearty thanks to all who participated in the programme.

We will meet again soon.

Thanks and greetings

‘After a few days…’ -Rajkumar, good news,

a party is asking for the foreign rights of your movie.

You will insult the god-man with your movie,

do you want me to return your documents on a silver platter?

With Cheran sir’s help, your movie was re-released

and now you are here to get back your property.

What do you like to say about this, sir?

I think you are emotionally overwhelmed.

Sir, you are the one who gave him financial help, please say something.

Like the squirrel’s help to Lord Ram, I did this for my brother Rajkumar.

Please count the money brother.

After all this work, we don’t have any money left.

Maybe you should get back to farm-work.

The spectators must not decide who won and lost in the competition.

It should be decided by who competed!

Don’t worry and write another story.

I will direct it for you.

Shooting starts from today, shall we go?

Why are you saying this? I am the director here!

I should say this!

Ready, let’s go! Ac-sha-gun!
