You're wanted

Hi sir

Hi good evening Velan

Your regular drink, right?

Hmm!

Sir, how are you doing?

Yeah!

Come on my dear boy!

Yeah, sir

This is why we need Velan

No one in this world has ever done the mixing like you

- Top level! - Thank you, sir

Great!

Whoa!

Now what happened sir?

The second sip tastes even better than the first

Thank you, sir!

Coming sir

Hey be ready for the second round

Okay...okay

Velan!

Four shots of tequila

Huh?

Uh!

What a medicine!

Excuse me sir!

Aye! Come on Velan

Tequila sir

Good good!

All this is okay

But this side dish is literally tasteless

Sir!

That's a toothpick

Sorry Velan

Is it good? Enjoy...enjoy

He is a blessed soul

Though he has come from India, he is rocking Malaysia

Excuse me!

Velan

Four more tequilas

Hmm

This world only trusts the one who deceives

This poor guy

is drinking plain water thinking its tequila

That guy over there

is drinking the booze like water

What a crazy world!

Careful, even Malaysia would be bewildered

- Velan! - Sir!

Just one more

- Please! - Sir?

Your eyes are shutting down already

You are blabbering

Enough sir

Your job is only to mix

Fixing how much to drink

is my job

Oh no!

Watch out sir...Careful

Okay

You are tipsy

Sir, the chair is over there

I could reach there only if I aim this way

Huh?

Why are they spinning the bar when I am sitting?

There is not a drop left?

He has licked everything

Sir!

Your change

Keep it

- All of it - Thank you, sir

Ummm...sir?

Um...Aren't you going home?

To avoid the stink

Take this cardamom

Open your mouth

This is

Velan for you

That tip

was for the booze

This is for

the cardamom

Thank you, sir!

and Velan

Are there beautiful girls to walk me till car parking?

No girls but Mani uncle is here

Take his help

My high will become low

I would rather crawl and go

Oh God!

I can't watch his face

He looks like a buffalo

Okay just be careful

Oh no!

Listen

Instead of turning your hard earned money into garbage

If you save all this, you can take home something right?

Dude

These days

No one knows which is money and which is garbage

All the people

thought they were saving money

But what happened?

Didn't everything became trash in a single night?

Likewise

This garbage will someday

turn into money

One day, in a lucky draw

The name will be Velan

This one daddy

Who is

First name Velan

Sir I am Velan

Yeah come on

Tell me sir

Am I being promoted?

No, we are firing people

What?

Nothing is like before

The company is in loss

So we are reducing the staffs

I didn't want to hurt people

While figuring out, what can be done

We came up with the idea of selecting names through lucky draw

My son is the one who came up with this idea

You potato!

Sir

Is there no other way?

There is

What is it sir?

You have got two ways

One is through airways

The other is waterway

The choice is yours

Dude Why do you feel so bad for this?

As if you're going to Tihar jail

You are going to your native country

It would have been good if they had me sent to Tihar jail

Going to native place is the problem

How is going to your own place is a problem?

Hey!

You only know that he has come to Malaysia

But do you know how he came?

You should aim and hit

- Okay? - Okay brother!

Hey!

- Where is your fee for this month? - I forgot brother

- Will you bring it tomorrow without fail? - Okay brother

What are you even playing?

Hey Saravana, lift your cards up to your face

He is looking into yours

Hey you, Rascal!

You already have cards valid for declaration, yet you're dropping a card?

Look! This is J, Q, K

If you keep this ace here, you got your fourth rummy

You can close now

Instead of that you were about to drop ace?

What are you playing?

Watch carefully

You should concentrate on the sharp edges and hit

And when you hit it

It will jump up to two feet till your face

Now if you hit the ghilli

You will see whether the ghilli flies

or the parrot

Understood?

Wow!

What a hit!

- How was it? - Super!

My turn

Lift it up!

Movie time, come on guys!

Hey! Everybody form a queue

Make a queue girl

queue please

Here...here Take this

Next one!

Go inside...go inside and sit in a row

Brother front seat or back?

Back seat is the backyard, is that okay?

Forget it brother

Look at him!

You take this

Hey!

Five bucks for the movie

- Guys sit closely packed, okay? - Just 2 rupees, right?

Did you hear him?

Hey this is 'Ponniyin Selvan', a big budget movie

You're talking as if this movie is your own production

What! Mate should we just shoo him away?

Hey! What is with your big talks? Go inside

You are forgiven only for today

From tomorrow, you should bring five rupees

- Get inside...Go...Go - He is smart. Keep an eye on him.

Pay with exact change

Hey!

The whole world is visible through the hole

Wasn't the movie you played yesterday was boring too?

How did he figure out?

Who are you, boy? Paruthiyur Sevvalai's son?

Yes!

Where did your father go?

Dubai

That's the reason for your big mouth

- Next time bring your sister too - Yeah!

Huh? Son of Sevvalai! I'm gonna kill you

Let's see him today

Hey Uncle!

Didn't we call for new students? But why the old students are coming?

Right?

Why are they coming with a force?

Why are these children running away in fear?

Velan do you think what you're doing is right?

Hey? What do you want?

Listen!

Why did you bring the kids from school and teaching them unwanted games?

Look!

Anyone can educate them

But only we can teach them traditional artforms like this

What?

Are you guys kidding us by stealing money from the kids?

Hey!

Idiot

Don't talk like an idiot

The marble game we teach them is today's gun shooting game in the Olympics

Look at this Ghilli

That is the cricket game you all watch spending crores on TV

The Ludo we teach them is the chess they play

They talk as if they invented the games

Half of the sports that's being played in the TV is taught by Tamil people

We are just reminding them about those sports

and you people came here in ignorance

To bring glory and pride to our India and Tamil Nadu

Like good teachers we are teaching them generously

Huh?

If tomorrow your children win Gold or Silver, you would be proud, what do we get out of it?

Right!

There was no one to teach us all this, those days

But you should be proud that you've got us

Hey Velan!

I saved in small pennies working hard at the brick factory

Children took it away and gave it to you

Do you guys feel this is right?

You expect medal to come for free?

Dude why are you wasting time talking to them?

Listen, with all due respect, try to buy admission form...

...from our school for the babies that are gonna born tomorrow

There is no point talking to these two

We should be the ones saving our children

Hey...Hey...Hey...stop now

You are ruining the future athletes

[indistinct chatter]

Oh no! Guys?

[indistinct chatters]

Engineer it seems

[indistinct chatter]

- Hey Dude! - They took all the children

We lost the only Inox theatre we had

Does this mean we need to take up a regular job?

Whoa!

Uncle, why are you talking big words?

We don't like it when we see others sweating

and do you want the sweat to come out of our bodies?

What shall we do for the food then?

Food?

Fish...Fish...

Brother! Fish please

Brother! Hey?

- I have been calling you - Come sister

How could you not hear?

Why?

Why don't you stop after a mile

This village stretches for only a meter

You earn your bread from this hundred meter village

Sister, the fish prices are high now

Five hundred per kilogram

What? Five hundred?

- Yes sister - Where are you from?

Look!

If you want to sell, give it for three hundred else leave the place

Buy for five hundred if you want else don't buy sister

Oh no! The shark is coming

How much did you say?

- I said five hundred - Five hundred?

Take this

Take it

Take it Give me the fish

Take the money man

I can smell fresh tuna

How does he sniff everything?

You weigh later, take and keep everything first

Put it in the basket

Sister...sister? What is this sister?

You are taking fish for eight hundred by giving only five hundred?

Calculate the arithmetic, it will tally

Mom?

He is coming here sniffing like a cat

Mom, what are you doing?

Fish...fish...

- Mom - Where do I hide this now?

Oh no!

What happened to her?

Take that basket Make it fast

He is coming

like a cat

I'm cooking only vegetarian in our house today

I'm not understanding a thing

Sister?

Hmm?

What Chitra?

Going to college?

This idiot is here in the very morning

Mom? Is the breakfast ready?

I have kept poori masala in your lunch box

Take that

For you

Drink this porridge

- and leave the place - Rice water?

Sister

My stomach is upset

So?

I will take rest for a while and leave after having hot lunch

Not necessary, have this porridge and go away

What are you looking at?

Watch your plate and eat

Okay

You will feel bad if I don't eat, I will eat everything

Velan

How many times do I need to tell you not to come to my house?

My husband and I start fighting every time you come and go

- Change the husband - I will hit you with my slippers

How dare?

Change the husband it seems

How long will you keep roaming like this and eat at other's place?

Only if you work a job, you can earn something to get married

I will start sweating if I work

Yeah right

You're the heir to a kingdom

Hey Chitra!

Finish studies on time and join a government job

For this rice water your mother gives me, I will marry you without a penny

I would rather die than marrying a filth like you

Senseless fellow

What sister?

Chitra is angry?

Look how she treats you

She is just a little girl but asking you a question that touches your pride

I am asking you, aren't you ashamed?

Will anyone give raw chilli and onion without frying?

Won't it be tasty if you fry it?

Let me know when you come next time, I will keep a red hot rod

Touch it, so hot it will be

- Go and bring this fried - Talks are never less

Wait

Hello?

Who? Rasu brother?

How much?

Ten?

Ummm...

I'm home

What if he heard?

Hey Selvi?

What sister?

- The water is coming, come - Yeah coming

Hey!

Listen

Eat

Shut it and go

I meant the door

Oh okay

Fill the water slowly and come back

I came first, I should be the one to fill water first

Brother

The sweet shop owner Babu?

Which is his house here?

Aren't you Rasu brother?

Yes brother how do you know my name?

Just now my sister left telling me,

'Rasu brother will come and give you ten thousand money, get it from him'

- Is it? - Yeah!

You're saying so

But it's just the money is huge

- Dhanam sister? - Yes?

Who is Selvi for me?

You're asking that who is your sister to you?

Do you now?

- It's just... - Yeah I got it

Sister?

What now?

Is Selvi my uncle's daughter or aunt's daughter?

She is your own sister by birth

Why are you torturing me by asking uncle's daughter or aunt's daughter?

Naughty fellow

Even now you are hesitating?

I am hesitating

because I tested a gold

What did you learn by testing?

Forget it brother, first hold this money brother

I will give this to my uncle

Okay then

I shall leave

Okay brother

Then

What's the occasion?

My daughter's ear piercing ceremony

Pierce pierce

Greetings uncle!

Small puff?

Yeah!

What is this uncle? No salt at all

What difference would it make if I add salt?

Didn't I ask you not to come to my shop, why have you come then?

Uncle!

You may not want any relationship, but I cannot be like you, I would rather die

Because you're suffering in the heat in the bakery

people said it's good for you if you eat canal fish

So I bought five hundred bucks fish for three hundred and you insult me

what uncle?

Since the day I married your sister

This is the first time you have done a good job

Wait for many like this to come

Here

What is this uncle?

Are you insulting me by giving money?

Hey, this is not for the fish you bought but for the love you have for me

For the love?

Are you sure it's not for the fish?

I will take this for the love

Just watch me showing more love after this

What an idiot!

You're early today?

I am not done cooking yet

You are preparing masala knowing beforehand that I will bring fish, that's my wife

You have also bought the fish?

Oh yeah!

That's your husband!

This bag?

How is it with you?

- Where is she running? - Didn't I keep this here?

My fish!

Oh no! Cat!

Gone!

I was grinding masala for the fish I bought

yet again he grounded me

So your brother came?

Huh?

Did your brother come here?

I should have been careful when he said...

...he bought five hundred bucks fish for three hundred

I will take care of you all

- Yes brother - Hope my order will be delivered on time

- Yes brother order will reach you on time - I already gave the money

Oh you gave already?

Did Rasu brother give you ten thousand?

Ten thousand? When did I take from him?

Brother to whom did you give?

- To your brother in law - Brother in law?

Yes right

Not for words

But he is a gem

Just wait and watch

Where he is going to make you stand

- Yeah he made me stand already brother - Is it? okay okay

So it's gone?

Ten thousand gone?

You are calculating it wrong

Ten thousand and three hundred

Didn't you give three hundred for the fish?

Yeah calculate this correctly

Shut your mouth

Don't know how that money is suffering from him now

Cashier sir, greetings

The usual drink you have for hundred and five rupees is not in stock today

Pesticide is better than that

What is that yellow carton?

That's an expensive one

Yeah very expensive!

Do you think I can't buy expensive one?

Who is he? What is next to it? liquor?

- Do you want vodka? - I don't want your sister

- The one next to it - Hey Uncle!

Stop talking

Pack half kilo in everything and two bottle beer for the side

Buy everything and come fast

Don't judge a person's look, judge the bills in his hand

You could have shown this earlier

Else what am I giving you from behind?

Take that yellow one

The blue one

After blue, that pink one...pink...pink...

Come anywhere, we will bang you from there

We shouldn't face difficulties even while drinking

Cheers!

One more

I would like to drink one more glass

- Do you like it too? - Hold it carefully uncle

- Excuse me? - Yes!

The cap is spinning Could you please open it

Put it down over there, it will open

Go away

If money comes from your underwear, song will come out even when a rooster crows

All he did was to beg but acts like a philosopher

Built a body like a buffalo and couldn't even open a bottle, stupid fellow

Nowadays liquor is very expensive

Oh no, why is he here?

Dude who is he?

He is the reason for our happiness today

Brother! Brother is on the phone

It's okay Brother?

Is it?

Oh brother?

It's you? please come

Keep the respect in your heart, sit down...sit...sit...

- Sit down - Okay...okay

Brother...

You suffer standing infront of a stove everyday

Right brother

It's totally okay to get little drunk

But drinking a tub is bit too much

It's because brother the shop is closed for three days

So we are stashing up the high

it's a precaution

Okay brother drink

I won't tell your uncle

Try telling him

What is he looking for?

Brother!

Did all the money reach your uncle's hand?

Brother how could you ask me this?

Uncle gave us the money you gave him

And asked us to buy things for bakery and milk from milk farm

Oh...no...now I remember

I forgot to order 10 kgs of milk khova

tell uncle to order ten kilos of milk khova

Don't get me wrong for paying the money here

We won't mind even if you give the money in the toilet

Courier the ten kilos to me

Definitely!

Oh I forgot brother

Didn't I tell you?

Do you want to order mixture and chakli?

We will do it

It's my daughter's ear piercing ceremony and I forgot to give you the invitation

Take this

You should come to the function and honor me

Okay...okay

Shall we make them respect us?

We shall!

Turn towards you dear husband!

Dude, all our guests are here

Hey all you people of the village are here together,is there a festival or what?

What Vela?

By bursting crackers in the middle of the night, you're disturbing our sleep

Do you feel right about it?

Hey old man!

What are you gonna do sleeping so early?

Why are you wasting our time talking to these people?

Guys, I was trying and testing something after so many days

and you guys ruined it for me by bursting crackers

All you have been doing is testing since the day you married me, never succeeded

The test will succeed someday

Why are you all talking to them? Hey, why did you bust crackers?

Hey he is yelling at us

Why? Didn't you burst the other day?

Did we question you?

- Hey Orappu! - Who is he?

When did I burst?

Didn't you burst for the deepavali, my pongal?

It is usual to burst crackers on deepavali

That day you had money so you did burst the crackers

Today we have the money and we are bursting

Yeah like that

I will smash you. You're celebrating deepavali with whose money?

Oh white ruby born to my mother Karuppu!

Your blood and my blood are same blood

So isn't your money is my money?

Hey let go of me!

Take that stone...I'm gonna break his head with that stone

Who is really drunk? Us or your sister?

Aren't you an adult?

Oh uncle has become adult?

Then I will tie the sticks for your puberty ceremony

How dare you will tie sticks for my husband?

You will tie sticks for my husband? Huh?

Lock him up!

Oh my Chitra! My darling! The gem my sister bore

Their ears are deaf for anything you say, they are drunk,

...talk in the morning to them, come now

Cover yourself up

You covered your daughter, who will cover you?

Hey!

Everyone go to sleep on time and get going to work in the morning

Why are you creating a mess being drunk, go and get some sleep

What's with the noise?

They won't listen to you if you only keep talking

What Alia Bhat, didn't see in the village?

Don't pull my legs, I have to go to work

They will arrest you under the POCSO Act.

What is this silk? You're slipping away?

As if you will go in the ship

Is she wishing for deepavali?

Burn in hell

What do you expect for what we did last night? Hugs and kisses?

Uncle, what's with the gathering?

You're right, usually there will be a gathering where we are

Now we will go to them

- Go... - Come...

Make way...

Has somebody fainted?

"Oh my girl in a rose petal saree!"

"Oh my girl with the scent of a Jasmine!"

- Uncle - Dude

Isn't the baby beautiful?

Which baby are you mentioning?

The baby which is holding the baby goat

I see

The black baby behind is also nice

Who is this uncle?

What is this dude?

You are totally blind to the things happening in the day time

She is the new doctor that has come to our village

You mean animal's doctor?

Yes!

How beautifully she's handling the delivery

Is this a big thing?

The job that our Papathi granny does without education, this girl is doing it after studying

- Uncle! - Dude?

Don't talk bad about studies

Especially about the medicinal courses

Yeah I understood dude

I understood

"Oh my girl in the rose petal saree"

"Oh my girl with the scent of a Jasmine!"

"She is coming into my eyes climbing the stairs"

"In my heart" Uncle!

I am immediately in need of a cow

You're asking as if you immediately need a chocolate

It is not easy to steal a cow

I said I need a cow

I understood the intention, I will shoo away your longings

What happened to the cow?

- It's been so long since she gave birth madam - Yes doctor

It was pregnant three times but didn't last

Doctor!

Yeah...Dude...listen...

- Wait doctor will look into it - Go ahead

I am saying that she looked into it already

Doctor!

For our cow to give birth to a calf

I have been praying to all Gods

Whenever she screams saying 'Maaa',

I always think, won't there be a calf to call her 'maa'

There is not a single day that passed without me crying about this

No dude!

Tell her

That's right

If it gives birth, he has prayed to god that he will do a tonsure ceremony

Yes Madam

Feel bad how much ever you want but it's not gonna happen

Why doctor?

Don't believe in what you were taught in your degree?

She has studied well

But we are the idiots

More than what I learnt from my education

I believe in God's creation

I don't get it

Will a male cow give birth to a baby ever?

Will it sir?

Oh no he is looking at me!

Oh my!

What is this?

I kept signalling you

You should notice

Sorry madam

The cow was changed because we were confused with the color

Yes madam

We will bring the correct cow next time

Hey uncle!

look after the cow

Go...Go...we will bring another one

Hold the cow

Do one thing properly

Couldn't you see?

Is the cow wearing clothes to keep me from seeing it?

- You should have bent down - Dude!

You asked me to bring a cattle

But did you tell me whether to bring a cow or an oxen?

Dude you had no clarity in your words

Talk all this nicely

I asked you to bring a Lakshmi Menon not Lakshmi Narayan

Look uncle!

I don't know what you will do

Immediately I need

I understand you dude, you need an animal now

Yes

You go, I will bring it to you

You just go I will bring

You come

You please come, I feel like giving you two

But the censor board will catch me

What is this, you said you will bring a cow but now a donkey?

Next time he will bring the elephant

Doctor, we have put side the cow problem temporarily

So what problem does this have now?

They are collecting ten rupees for a bag of washing clothes

but he is not taking care of this properly

They consider its face is lucky but never notice it's nose

Look at its nose

Is this even a wound?

My dude cannot tolerate if an animal is hurt even a bit

Look at this

You see his nose

Then you see her face

I am going to see this rose

Have a look...please have a look madam

"You're rubbing a matchstick in my soul! You look like a gooseberry in my hand"

"by rubbing it...rubbing it... you lit the fire of love"

"Lighting... You are lighting the lamp of love"

"By building a nest in your braided hair"

"I am flying around you with wings on me"

"Shouldn't you look at me while tying the ribbon"

"Stuck in your swan like walk"

"I am suffering every time, stomped"

"Why don't you look at me when you remove your sandals?"

"You're a Goddess even in the western attire"

"Your face is a full moon even in the crowd"

"When you speak Tamil, You're the queen of poets"

"In this town you are the empress"

"By building the nest in your braided hair"

"I am flying around you with wings on"

"Why don't you look at me while tying your ribbon?"

"You're the royal chariot made out of sandalwood"

"Since your feet touched our town, it will attain salvation"

"When you cough its physics, when you sneeze its chemistry"

"Your shape is engineering"

"In total you are my science"

"This whole world is biology but you're the only cosmetology"

"By building the nest in your braided hair"

"I am flying around you with wings on me"

"Why don't you look at me while tying your ribbon at least?"

"When you are driving the scooty, your beauty elevates"

"I am submitting the candidate petition to you for your love constituency"

"You spread the scent of jasmine in the paths you travel"

"There is breeze only because you blink your eyes"

"The day we unite, this whole town will go awe"

"By building the nest in your braided hair"

"I am flying around you with the wings on"

"Shouldn't you look at me when tying your ribbon"

"Stuck in your swan walk"

"I am suffering every time you stomp"

"Why don't you look at me while removing your sandals"

God bless you!

Wherever you are, may god bless you!

For that you have to shower your blessings on me!

Hey Narayana!

Brother has lit the first kiln, lit the rest of the kilns

Hey Bala?

How long will you sit and drink a single tea?

What important news are you reading since one and half hours?

this country is not going in the right path

There is no news about treachery at all

Why can't you speak good words in the morning?

People are not letting me park my vehicle

- Thieves! - Uncle tea please

Master two tea with extra milk

Add it in my uncle's account

Add extra pesticide I will pay for it too

The milk he adds tastes like pesticide only

Of course

Don't get me started in the very morning

What dude, your uncle is showering his love upon us today

Won't he be angry?

Day before yesterdays' cocktail party was from his money

That's why he is angry

We are no less in torturing him

A group of ten people involved in theft in Chettikulam

Useless village

Just ten people stole cattle, hen and even spoons and forks

Is there not a man in that village?

Can they do it in our village?

Even if the army comes

Can they take a fist of soil from our ground?

Hello?

Who?

Muniya?

What?

Collector has come? I am coming

What is he talking about dude?

Oh yes uncle

It's a day for filing people's grievances

Do you have anything to grieve?

What problems do you face in your village tell us your grievances

Collector madam

We need a health Centre for our village

We need to go till next town even for a fever and headache

Hmm

I will make arrangements for it as soon as possible

Water problem is the biggest problem madam

Why?

is there no water in the tank?

They supply water for just an hour

In that one hour, everybody gets into fight on whose turn is next

That street fight becomes a family fight

Then turns into the village's fight

and makes people attack each other

Okay

We will solve this problem without fights

Thank you, madam

Dear

The sweets in your shop is not sold in six months

- Move aside uncle - Go

Madam

The women in our village have no security madam

Not only that

There is an increase in the road accidents

Dude?

You make a point

How many of you are here?

But none of you have thought about this

That's my boy for you Good job dude

- Thank you, uncle - Awesome

This definitely needs to be appreciated

I am arranging for a women's police station in your village

Also I will fasten the procedure to build new roads

Oh no!

- All that is not necessary madam - Then?

If our village

Should not face problems like this

If you open a TASMAC shop in our village it will be helpful

Is this the point that he had to make?

He is speaking for you too

If they open a liquor shop in the village, you can sell your snack items to the drunkards

- Yes dear - Right daddy!

Already he is talking like a fool, and you're saying yes to it?

As if he is talking like a brainy

How is this related to the problems?

It is related sir

Since there is no liquor shop in our village,

people from our village go to the next village

Since they go so far to drink, they drink too much and fall down there

So our women by default lack in security

Some people return but, on their way back in road accidents they break their legs and arms

So if you arrange for a liquor shop in our village itself

Everybody will drink within their limits and go back to their homes quietly

So our women's will have security also and we can avoid road accidents also

Madam!

Isn't he making a point madam? Please approve it madam

Is this how you talk to a collector?

Then can I talk all this to you?

The government related issues need to be discussed with the government officer

Collector madam?

Also they are selling a quarter bottle of liquor for extra five rupees,

if we question them they threaten us

Look into that too madam

What an idea!

If there is a person like him in every village, our country will flourish

Please see for yourself how good is this man in your village

Please listen to me Madam?

Hey we spoke for you too

Who should look into it now?

What? You are showing off in front of me?

Let's go...let's go...

Who listens to good things nowadays

What's with the look?

We are a wonder in God's creation

Awesomeness!

Uh huh?

See, now also someone has already cut the wood

Also he has loaded them in the cart thinking that we shouldn't suffer

Dude for the afternoon booze we will sell the firewoods to Valavan

For the evening booze we will settle with this bullock cart

For the night's booze without any issues we will load ourselves...

...and we will come rolling like a moon in the village

Dude Valavan's jeep is parked inside

Catch him now!

What?

Aren't you educated?

Can't you understand what I say?

Instead of joining a western's office, earning a handful of money and partying all weekends

Why all this?

Don't you have

Facebook, Whatsapp and twitter?

Share your opinion there

Instead of that

If you get down in the field and canvas people, will we let you do?

We will slit your throat!

Brother greetings brother

Come, Velan

Cut woods?

Yes brother

What brother?

You have peeled him off like a potato

Did he touch your stone?

I would have had no problem had he stolen the stones

That's a loss only for me

He

is trying to destroy your business too

He wants no mesquite tree in this soil

Only then we can do agriculture it seems

Why man?

Do you think farming and agriculture is so easy to do?

Enlighten him

Is there any water in the lake or springs?

Or if the canal is opened do we get rain water?

To do agriculture?

This is an earth that always longs for rain from the sky

and you want to do agriculture?

You have a better option of sprinkling mesquite seeds all over, take it from brother

Once they mesquite grows into a tree, cut down and bring it to brother

he will give you more money

What an idiot you are!

He is a man who feeds around ten thousand families

You are planning to ruin his business, huh?

What else will he do rather than beating you up?

Fall in his feet, ask for brother's forgiveness and leave this place

Orappa!

Brother

He won't understand if we speak

Because he is educated, right?

I will take care of him, you just leave

Okay brother

- Velan - Huh?

While going, sprinkle this mesquite seeds in that lake

- Okay brother - Bala?

Give them the seeds

Come to me buddy

What's in the bag?

Only this or anything else brother?

Yeah!

- We will leave then brother - Okay

- See you brother - Okay

Because you should earn

You have turned this whole village to fools

The curse of this innocent people

Will not let you live

You will never change

'Mahatma Gandhi National Rural 100 days guarantee work scheme - 2019'

Yayy! It's a one

Drop the card dude

Partner you are supposed to play thirteen cards but you're playing for twenty-six cards

If you want see his cards and play

The sun is at its peak and so is my hunger

Dude should we take a lunch break then?

Yeah definitely

The supervisor is here

Look at them

Work place has turned into a club

Supervisor!

Come and pick a card for me, let's see how lucky is your hand

Are you kidding me?

Won't do any work but your mouth always run

Hey go! At least you go and do some work

- Hey...Hey...Stop him now - Hey stop

- Where are you going? - I am going to the work

Why don't you finish your morning rituals at home, why do you want to do it in public?

- Not that work - Then?

The bushes have extended till the road and sir asked me to trim them, that's why

Hey!

Where did you keep your brain if he says?

Today you will start working, tomorrow he will get inspired from you...

...and then the other one will also join you in work

Then this guy will say he will give money to only those who work

What will happen to us then?

Won't you guys think about others?

Living for ourselves is not life, living for others is living true life

For instance, both of us

Look how many people we have created like us

Brother!

Don't shout

Did you see? My uncle is allergic to sound, huh?

If you go to work, sweat will come out of your body

Understand... Understand and save yourself

What sir?

If I work, sweat will come out of my body sir

Instead of sweat

Do you expect brandi to come out?

He was the only person who was working properly, why would you spoil him?

I'm gonna kill you

My goodness Vela!

I was about to commit a huge mistake

- If you were not here - You would have been spoiled

You are right

Why are you crying?

No child is born a labor

Only when it grows up

When your parents preach you to be justful, be honest

Be true, be a hardworker

and your sweat drops from forehead should touch the ground

They are to be blamed Hey!

When we are the ones who taught them how to eat without going to any work

How will we leave you like this, huh?

Hey do you know how to play cards?

Cards?

I don't know

Oh no uncle!

Look how they have brought up this child

Do you know how to play polyglot?

I do

Look there

That granny is playing polyglot, run...run...

Go and play with her

Your hands shouldn't get dirty, just watch for it

You will live

Poor child!

Huh? Dear Velan

Hundred days work is for the development of poor

where all the people of the village together clean

the village is a scheme brought to us by government

I join my hands before you

Look Mr.Supervisor

The work we do here, do you think we can't do it sitting in the temple hall?

Your job will be at stake if any officer raids this place, that's why we come and work here

Get that first

What?

- Playing cards is a work to you? - Then what?

What a story you have!

The monkey not only is spoiled by itself but also spoiled the forest

I don't care if the monkey spoiled forest or Dhanam

You're boasting as if you are paying from your money, it's government's money, go away

Why wasting your words to him, come uncle

Grandpa

You are always repairing this plough, what are you going to do with this?

Son...

This is the plough my forefathers used

Do you know how much harvest this has given?

Come on grandpa

You still speak the old story

Our village has become a dry land

When will the rain come and you will use the plough to do agriculture?

May be not today, but someday before my soul leaves my body

I will hold this plough and do agriculture

All this land will become roads before you start doing agriculture

Keep this aside and go

Yeah right

Greetings madam!

Greetings!

Doctor!

- Hello doctor - Good morning!

Going to the hospital?

She is going to a dance show or what?

What are you doing here?

Sir...

Before I die

I would hold this plough and do agriculture

Were the firm words

of this grandpa, so we are helping him

Okay!

It's a good thing

I'm leaving

Okay sure

Hey grandpa!

Instead of putting this plough aside and go to Valavan's kiln and cut some bricks

and earn some money, You are rubbing this useless plough

What uncle?

Got some money to buy booze?

That...dude

I do only gpay

which only keeps spinning

- Uncle! - Tell me dude

Nowadays nobody is being diligent in this village

That's so true

Who is as responsible as you here?

But what's with the sudden hatred towards diligence?

Look there

What is it dude?

I don't get it

- Take a good look at that shed - What's in that shed?

A rod is hanging out

What if the hanging rod gets cut due to wind, falls on the dead body and kills it?

Yeah right!

Got it!

For the booze that we are gonna have in the evening, that iron rod is the investment

Hey uncle!

Even the camphor takes time to catch fire

But you got it at once

That's built inside our architecture

How long have we been asking, give us the hundred and five

Didn't you say it's a pesticide? But you're asking for it today?

Today also we are asking for that pesticide only, give that now

If you're in a hurry, you should brought a currency note

What do we do? People don't put notes in the hundi

As if we are printing it

- What is it uncle? Give it to us now - Get out

- Hello excuse me? - Get out

Excuse me!

Give me a 105

Look how nobly the saint is giving me a new currency

Yeah keep it ironed and put it in the hanger

Hey silly boys, stand in the corner for a while

After everyone is done buying, I will ask that brother to provide you

Brother, give them what they want

A beggar who goes begging house after house is recommending us

Hey before I hit you with acid, give me the bottle

Take it

Leave the place now

Dude my stomach is not burning from the booze he gives

But by the extra ten rupees they charge per bottle

Huh? Uncle!

- Isn't this the salesman's bicycle? - It's definitely his cycle

This guy robs five and ten from us and bought a new cycle and hasn't even locked it

I lost respect for him

Hey uncle!

Keep the booze safe

Don't worry dude

I will take care of this like how a mother would take care of her babies

If a drop falls down from this bottle, without having second thoughts

I will commit suicide immediately

Darlings

Are you sad that you're locked inside the bottle?

Just a little while

You will be delivered

The apple of my eyes!

My sweet darlings!

- Dude, come and catch them! - Oh no uncle!

Catch it...

Hey uncle!

For the price the booze being sold, you've delivered them to the ground

As if I did this intentionally

Dude?

One is broken, what about the other?

This booze made the road high instead of making us high

Where are the bike guys?

Dude?

Don't control me; leave it up to me.

Dude, this is the one

What happened?

Nothing...nothing dude, I was just having a rehearsal

Don't lay down

Hey!

- Isn't this your bike? - Yeah!

You knocked off the booze on the go

Why won't we knock it off?

When you were coming in the middle of the road, no one else should go?

Is the road your father's property?

Should we come through the forest instead of coming on the road?

So you would knock off the booze, huh?

Buy me my booze

Can't you be careful?

What are you doing?

Sorry guys, take this and get going

Uncle take it from him Leave now

- Yeah please leave - You're a true gentleman

Hey, come and knock off often

Better we don't see you again

How many times have we told you not to come this way?

It's already late brother, we have to go home

Still you have come here

Brother please let go

Wait for a while, you can go

You can go later

- Brother...brother please let us go - Wait for a while, we will let you go

You have to go home right?

Brother my parents will scold me for going late

No one is around us right now Only the two of you

I will never come back here brother

We will never turn to your side brother, let us go brother

- Brother please! - Hey?

Why have you tied up these girls?

What business do you have here?

Hey!

Got the money, right? Leave the place

So? You would keep girls from my village tied?

Brother, they are just little girls

Brother we came here to collect sticks

But they are saying we stole logs and tied us up here

Didn't you hear what I said

Will you lay hands on girls?

That too girls from my village?

Isn't this the hand that you laid on the girls?

Are you trying to destroy the girls who came to collect sticks?

Hey! You will you misbehave with the girls from my village?

Send them here, send them here...here...

Girls huh?

Will you lay hands on girls?

Hey stop it

Vela!

- What's the problem? - Let me explain brother

We tied up the girls who stole the logs

But this guy is creating trouble and also untied them

Do you want us to keep quiet after they touched our logs?

Brother

They are from my village

They just came here to collect sticks

But your people tied them up and misbehaving with them

- and they are lying to you - Yes, brother

Brother Do these look like logs to you?

Just the sticks they collected

I will smash you

Smash him

Don't take this personally vela

It was a mistake, I will take care

You can go

Girls please come with me

Get lost!

Small minds

Brother

We will

become wild if someone touches a child

Be careful!

Why is he giving me a death stare?

Did I talk harsh?

Hey!

Brother!

Our business is based on this village's people, soil and trees

- Okay brother! - Keep that in mind always

Hey!

What uncle!

What is this uncle, this village went quiet just by 11 pm?

Did everyone fall asleep?

You're right

And they are sleeping peacefully

Hello uncle!

Say that they are sleeping

But don't say that they are sleeping peacefully

When have we let them like that?

The village we live in

Can anyone sleep peacefully?

Dude?

- Huh? - What's the content for tonight?

Tonight's content

Today morning

Tea stall content

You go that way

I go this way

I am going

You too go

You go

I am going

Thief...thief...

Thief...thief...thief...

What? Thief?

Hey where is the thief?

Thief...thief...thief...don't leave them

They were four people... there were four thieves

Go...go...go...

Where did they go now?

[indistinct voices]

Where are they? Catch them

Hey dude! stop stop stop!

Why are you running this way?

To catch the thief dude

Huh...Hey!

The thief went to your home

- Poor fellow - Why are you laughing now?

Poor guy, he is going to get disappointed for going there

Where did sister in law go?

She might have been sleeping tired

Hey!

What if the thief uses sister in law's tiredness to his advantage?

Man you're right!

He will steal my investment it seems

You should have invested in things not in your wife

Your brother will steal the eyeballs of a person if he is awake

When he is awake, which thief has come now?

What if there is a thief?

Your father is already lying drunk

Let's search here

Let's search that side

"Got to know this village! Got to know this world, my mighty girl!"

"Got to know this village! Got to know this world, my mighty girl!"

what's with his pose now?

Mom

What if it's a prank

You guys said that the thief entered the village?

Even after searching with sieves in our eyes we could find no one

To sieve through your eyes he is not a flour, but thief

Sister...

Really if a thief entered our village

we wanted to check how alert you people are

Oh!

So you both played us again?

Exactly...exactly...

Instead of coming to the tea shop, having the tea and reading the paper

You bigmouthed to them 'like bring the army'

'or take a fist of soil'

Aren't they looking for a reason everyday?

Is this really necessary now?

I will give you two

What are you thinking?

Not only you guys are freeloading our food but now ruining our sleep

Good that you reminded me sister

Uncle!

Everybody needs to sleep, all of you go and sleep

They all know clearly that they need to go to work in the morning

Everybody go to your home

We are sleeping tomorrow

Go and continue from where you left

How do we live everyday having them in our village?

First sort this out

Sir, they are waiting for the dusk to appear

They are coming up with a new plan everyday

Thinking about what they are planning to do next,

I am unable to sleep every night

He is right

He is very difficult to put up with

After offering pongal to God, When I take the aarati plate and turn back, pongal disappears

Why he?

Everyday exactly by twelve 'o clock

They are torturing to give them the eggs from the midday meal scheme in school

Sir, you are hearing out all the other problems of the village

Please hear out my problem too

What is your problem?

Sir, they steal all the iron rods from the funeral shed and sell it

The dead body is not burning now due to wind

The people who visit later for ceremonies are coming to beat me up

Their torture is way too much

I am leaving this village.

Look what they have done

What Selvi? Talk something

What do I say sir?

I accept the village's decision

But don't tell him that I am involved otherwise he will kill me

There is only one option

We should take him away from the village

Nothing happens if we keep him away from the village

He will come back in a jiffy

We have to keep him away from this country

[indistinct chatter]

If we really need a solution for all these problems

We need to see Malaysia Vasudevan

It's the right decision

Sir, we understand why you are hesitating

You are thinking if you send my brother to Malaysia,

he might spoil your brother too, who is already in Malaysia

My son is already a rogue

No one can spoil him

But

If Velan goes to Malaysia

What if he spoils entire Malaysia? That's my worry

He should have known English for that to happen,

Their whole family cannot speak English

Yeah as if he is the master who taught grammar to a whiteman

What do you know about my family?

- I will see to it later - Silence

For the own good of this village

Since you all have come to my home

and requesting me

I will ask my son who is in Malaysia to make arrangements

But it is a bit expensive

Sir don't you worry about the expenses

The villagers will take care of it

We will take care of it sir

We request all of you to give your gift on behalf of this village.

My house documents

Take my share

I have tied the goat and it's baby, write down my name

It looks like death ceremony rice?

Huh?

My piggybank savings

The bike's key which is bought from my son's first month salary

- Only key? Where is the bike? - Bike is here

These are the savings from my daughter's wedding

It's okay if the wedding gets delayed for five years

First send him away

Are you sure you are okay with this?

- Let him get lost - Careful please

Send him away from this village,

I will supply sweets at free cost from my shop to the whole village

- Somehow we should send him off - No matter they give lame excuses

Dude?

Like never before, the whole village is coming to your house?

They must be coming to collect donation from me for some festival

You are totally shameless, right?

Shame will not bring fame

Did you steal without my knowledge?

Will I ever do anything like that?

Vela! We have come here to talk about you

What's the matter?

I got married with the blessings of your father

Today we are doing good, but when we think that you're being jobless, we feel bad

So we mutually agreed to send you to a foreign country

Hey helmet uncle

Do you know how expensive it is to go to another country?

Look Orappu

You do not have to worry about the money

The arrangements are already done

Hey I am allergic to debts, see to it

We don't agree to this, you lose hair for taking debts

This is not a debt, this is a charity

This is a charity we all give you for your betterment

Yeah

They are all together in this

When this whole village is showering it's love on me, how would I leave this village?

How can I go?

Hey what? Everyone keep telling you but you act as if you don't understand, huh?

Look

You cannot even travel till Manamadurai even if you wanted to

But these people are putting their own money and sending you till Malaysia

Better use this opportunity, take the flight and keep going

Why are you begging to him as if he is a VIP

He will leave if we say so

What uncle?

What...what uncle? Isn't everyone telling you?

Go man!

Just go

What do I do now?

Dude, whole village is helping you out, use this opportunity and go to Malaysia

Will he go to Malaysia because he is thinking too much

Oh God! Please send him to Malaysia somehow

I will prepare pongal for you

Why is he not saying anything?

He will say

"Red color saree girl..."

Please go, you'll have a good future

What did you say doctor?

"Oh my girl with a scent of jasmine!"

Please go

We will have a good future

"Coming into my heart possessing it"

Dude you have come here for the words of the girl you love, right?

If you go back now you can see your lover

What do you say?

Look at you!

You also believed that she loved me

That girl also gave her share for me to come here

She generally said that my future will be good and believing it to be true

The villagers arranged for my flight tickets in ten days and sent me here

I also came here

Now suddenly I lost my job

and if I go to my village now

I am scared to think what they will do to me

Don't you worry They will do nothing to you

I will take care of it

[Villagers indistinct voices]

Today I have to block him and paste the cow dung

Only if I throw it on his face, will I be satisfied...

He has come...my brother... my sweet little brother

Why brother, you have lost so much weight?

Wasn't the food good?

Come, sister will prepare a nice mutton gravy for you come

Beat it! beat it!

Hey!

Bring it to me...bring it to me

Dude, name this baby

I should name the baby?

Yeah!

Except your name, no name will suit

Keep that name

Hey! It's a girl baby

Keep your sister's name then

Isn't the name already in existence?

Why do we need it again?

Then name her Velammal

Velamma!

Velamma! Velamma! Go to your mamma

What's happening? I don't get it at all

Hey uncle, what is all this?

Everything will be like this from now

Oh...no!

I don't understand what's happening around me

Everyone is celebrating us

Velan?

- Brother Vela! - Son in law?

Where are you?

Come uncle!

You sit...sit

Spread the carpet, what are you looking at?

Yeah spread it

Help me out

Sit...sit...

Yeah!

I don't know if you remember

When you were a kid, fish was your favourite

Mom used to keep only one piece for us

But she used to keep four pieces in your plate

Look at this

Your sister has brought your favorite fish curry, eat to your full

How many days it's been since you ate home food

Now this sister is going to fill mom's place, your sister is everything to you

I will serve you with my hands

You eat happily

Hey stop it

What?

When your daughter is here, why are you serving?

Chitra, serve food to your uncle

Do it

Serve...serve...

Have you washed your hands or shall I ask Chitra to feed you?

Eat well, uncle

See you have lost so much weight

See...this is egg

Fish

- Wait, I am serving - Make it fast

Eat well, okay?

Crab!

Pour the gravy

Give it to me, mom

Uncle?

Uncle?

I am all ears, tell me

Turn to me, uncle

Hmm?

Greetings uncle!

Late!

One more

Greetings uncle!

Uncle!

When I go in search of a girl for me,

Everyone is telling why are you searching for ghee when you have the butter

Dude, be clear Do you want the girl or butter?

Brother?

Do you want ghee to eat?

Sister!

How could you ask this?

If you get Chitra married to me

I will take care of her all my life

Ask Orappu if you want!

Yes sister!

Who? Chitra?

- And you? - Yes, uncle!

Oh my God!

You brainless fool

What did he just do?

People used to say that they'll push their daughter into well rather getting her married to you

Did you see that I just pushed her?

What are you looking at?

Dude?

He pushed his own daughter into the water

The whole family is blood thirsty

We should be running now

Hmm...

What if got the visa ready!

Tell me Mani uncle!

And mate

What's up with the village?

Hey!

I thought they would pelt me with stone but they are celebrating me

Forget it

Today my sister and uncle cooked food for me

and made me eat all the food

I'm not getting a thing

I get a doubt if we have come to our village or some other place

It's because

Huh?

I called Orappu on phone

And lied to him that you have won Ten crores in the lottery

He has spread this in the whole village

Hey idiot!

Couldn't you come up with something else to lie?

What will they do to me if they got to know the truth?

Look

Enjoy until they get to know

Escape from there if they get to know

Stop talking, I'll make arrangements for your next visa in six months, better you come back

Hey...hey uncle?

Hey uncle?

So this is the reason for the change?

If these villagers hadn't sent you to Malaysia the other day

You wouldn't have become a billionaire today

While you buy some properties here, show them also a way to earn money

You will get their blessings too

Uncle

I am in a mood to love

Let's just focus on that job alone

Good job

Love comes with money, they say

What can I do for it?

You can make arrangements to see the doctor

What is this, dude, I am trying to make you a big businessman with my broad vision

But you want me to do petty jobs

Uncle

If you want to earn respect

You need to work on it

What is that work?

Who are you to me?

I am your uncle

Then you should focus on that job!

What is this, dude?

Orappu!

Oh no him?

Dude, you keep moving, I will be back

Hey where are you going?

It's nothing, dude

A good property is coming for sale

Pamban bridge

Pamban bridge?

Yes, dude, if we bargain we can make it in a single sitting

What are you going to do buying that?

I will rent it out

Anyone who wants to give is welcome

Hey go ahead, whatever you want to do, do it

Only then we can eat

Go...

Go...

You're leaving half the garbage on the ground, can't you clean properly?

If the cattle eat this plastic and something happens to them, who is responsible for it?

Doctor madam, you're saying as if we intentionally drop it

Vehicle is not good

We are asking them to provide a new vehicle they are not providing it

What?

Isn't she telling for the good?

But you're talking back to her

Do you know everything she knows?

Welcome Mr. Billionaire

How are you doing?

I am good!

I thought you would look brave after the money came

But you're shying away?

No doctor, I saw you

Oh!

Please...please...please Check if the dogs are gone

What is this? Being a veterinary doctor you're scared of dogs?

No...

I am scared of dog's bite and thunder since I was a kid

Please check if it's gone

Hey shoo...

Go...

Is it gone?

Umm...wait

What is this?

The dog is looking at you fiercely?

Did you inject the dog with something weird recently?

Isn't the dog gone?

Not like that

First time a girl hugged me, that's why

"I am blank...I am blank..."

"My eyes didn't shut after I saw you"

"I am blank...I am blank..."

"My eyes didn't shut after I saw you"

"It's true...it's true...it's true..."

"You're the boon to me from God"

"My heart is dancing in joy"

"It is celebrating"

"I am blank...I am blank, My eyes didn't shut after I saw you"

"Who gave that soil scent?"

"Rain or earth?"

"To snatch my life came this Romeo"

"With that lightening smile"

"I complete my hunt"

"In my locked soul"

"You are sending the knife slowly"

"I became a kite because of you"

"I crossed beyond the sky"

"I am blank...I am blank..."

"My eyes didn't shut after I saw you"

"You are the scent of sandalwood in my heart"

"You're the fully grown paddy in my heart"

"The town is talking"

"My ears are shy to hear it"

"But my heart is waiting for the day"

"I became your servant"

"and lost balance in you"

"I asked for a boon to live with you forever"

"I am totally crazy for you"

"I am blank...I am blank..."

"My eyes didn't shut after I saw you"

For your granddaughter? Okay, go

Who is next?

Hey nonsense! put it down

What do you want?

Hey Orappu!

Tell Velan

To buy us twenty sheep and twenty goat and we will also develop our lives

Before that do this for me

Drop it in my home

I have brought you this

Keep it

You had this in your hand and still you stood in the queue?

There is a special counter for this, you could have come to me

It's okay Orappu

Huh?

What do you want?

If you buy me a milking cow

I will survive from milking it

Let it be

But ten cows?

Budget is huge

What is it?

For the side dish

He's ready to give two thousand for side-dish if I say okay he will give his life it seems

We have bought the cows and you have started milking it

That's for sure

- Thank you - Okay, go go

What is this Orappu, the list is big?

If area is bigger, list will be bigger

Deliver at my home

My hips and hands are paining by grinding the batter

Ask Velan to get me a grinder which pushes the batter automatically when I turn on the switch

There should not be two grinders in a household

The villages in the Marakathur panchayat including Vettuvada, Kuruvatti, Pullikottai

...are gathered here because

We need to decide who should compete in the coming Marakatur president's election

We should decide it

Sir, what I think is

Instead of making someone else a candidate

We can make Velan a candidate

We all agree to what sir says, he is right

None of us came up with this idea

If tomorrow the government's money get delayed because of some reasons

Velan is capable of spending his own money

Yes, he will spend, let's make him the candidate

So we all come to an agreement that we want Velan to be our candidate

It's the right decision

Why is everyone standing here?

Come, Velan

Lower your lungi

Velan has come

Come Velan

The three village heads have decided

you as the president for Marakatur

Hope you agree to it

I can't handle this posting, please let me go

What is he talking?

I have to go back to Malaysia

Wait...wait...wait...

The one who says no to the power

is the first quality that shows he is a good person

Why are you giving them ideas?

Correct, Velan

You might not want the posting

But if you agree to take up the posting, it will be helpful for our village

Yeah

My dude is not any ordinary man, he has direct contacts with the Malaysian government

We would do as you say, if you ask them to come they will, if you ask them to go they will

If you go there, won't you make the whole Malaysia go in awe?

He will do it, we trust him

With the same trust we decide to choose Velan as our panchayat president

Yeah it's decided now

Everybody clap...You sign the papers

Hey!

Leave...leave...don't gather here

- Congratulations Velan! - Give the president some space

Please give him some private space

Get going...get going...

Leave...yeah!

Leave now...go go

Give our president some space

What is this uncle, so many things happened?

Everyone is gone now dude, who is it dude? CM or what?

Uncle!

Yeah tell me

My throat is sore, could you please get me a soda?

Don't know why but everybody ask me to buy soda for them

Buy it

and come late

Hello?

Congratulations, dude!

Hey dude!

Heard you became the president

Hey dude

You lied to everyone that I have won ten crores in the lottery

Believing that these villagers have made me the president

If they got to know what the truth is You have no idea what they will do to me

Hello dude?

You are quiet?

You cheated everyone in the village acting like a good person

Hey...hey...

So there is no ten crore?

What's your problem?

Did I tell you that I won the lottery or did I tell the people in the village?

How am I responsible for someone else's lie?

You didn't tell us

But when people told you, you should have refused it, right?

The one who stands by the wrong is also guilty, so definitely you're guilty

How much ever you trouble them

They just suffer and lament

But never made you suffer

In a way you should be very fortunate to be born in this village

If it was some other village

For the amount of torture you gave, they wouldn't have spent their money to send you Malaysia

But would have killed you by poisoning your food

Even now

They trust you blindly that you're rich

and made you president believing that you will do good to them

you don't have any money like they think

But you have the posting they gave you

Hope you understand

What now? Should I go and tell them the truth and ask for their forgiveness?

Instead of asking for their forgiveness

Respect the trust they have in you

become a human and do some good to them

Please...go...

Hey?

Will our contract matter be approved?

Don't you know Valava?

How much is the competition for this MNC contract?

I said, 'If Valavan doesn't get this contract, You all will have to see my other face'

Everyone was shaken

We are spending in crores for this

I am there, right?

Why do you worry?

I would like to show you something

Take a look at this

What is this, adult clip?

Almost like that

- Cheers! - Cheers!

Just because he owns six kilns, he thinks he is a bigshot

This time the contract is for you

What if Valavan asks?

'What to do, Valava, things got out of hand'

'We will see next time', If I say this to him, that dumbo will totally fall for my words

Exactly!

It's the dumbo

Yeah talk to him

Tell me, Valava!

Forgive me, Valava

I did a mistake

You were not loyal to this dumbo

It's okay

But shouldn't you be loyal to the money you got from him?

I did it by mistake, Valava

please.

Forgive me, Valava

Don't do anything to me, Valava, please

Valava, please

I know how to get that MNC order

Oh my mother!

Eleven!

Oh my!

It's going runny...runny...

Why are you teasing me?

Mother!

Alright!

Mother!

Above eight and below eight, in total sixteen, the calculation is right

What are those lines on the wall?

This is not your parotta calculation, it's the how many times you went in calculation

Moron!

Don't you have any manners

Look, Orappu

It is obvious that even if you use alloy to block it, it's not going to stop

I give you a carpet and pillow, better you lay in the bathroom

You pig head!

Go to Selvam's shop

Buy a tablet saying Orappu asked a tablet to block it

What is the tablet's name?

He has only one tablet for all the illness, that purple color, buy that

Okay while I go and buy the tablet, you drink this porridge and go with strength

It's already going in the porridge consistency, go man

- What I want to say is... - Leave before I take my slippers in hand

Mother!

Will your body stay put until then?

If it doesn't just throw away and go guys

Oh!

I took money from the villagers like taking for a vote

Orappu? Brother Orappu?

Yeah right, but I will talk and finalize everything, you two keep quiet

Hey monkey man, go and bring Orappu

You idiots!

Oh it's you?

Why is you body shaking way too much?

Why Orappu, is your upper body unwell ?

Upper body is good

My downstairs is not okay

Convey the matter you have come for and leave the place

It's a good matter, let's sit and talk, come

Please sit

Whoa!

You should tell him

Nothing, Orappu

When my mother was dying,

she made me promise her that I should get Chitra married to Velan only

- Nod your head - Okay okay

So we were waiting for the good time to come

Since everything is on right track now

If we get Chitra married to Velan, we will live peacefully

- Look how my daughter is shying away! - No, mummy

Orappu

In every good and bad, our Velan is always roaming with you

That's why we have come to discuss this matter with you

Orappu, why are you so quiet?

He removed every sound from my life

Sister in law, you are telling this to me

But Velan is stubborn that he wants that doctor in his life

Mom?

Loghead! Doesn't even know how to mesmerize him

In this situation, how could I talk about Chitra to him?

We are talking, have some patience

Orappu!

If you had finalize this matter with him

We were about to give a share from the ten crores that our son in law is going to receive

You don't even know how to survive

I am thinking about how will my life be spared

You want to give me a share, huh?

What is this, Orappu?

You are not showing any interest in this matter?

That's because...

That's because, that guy

You are okay with this?

What is it, sister in law?

An okay is going from here and an okay is coming from there?

Our kinship shouldn't be broken, right?

So?

That's why our Chitra

Isn't our son in law avoiding Chitra?

It is okay if he doesn't marry her

I'm not saying for that

What?

So you want me to become a pimp?

You stale mixture, I will not rest until I cut your family into pieces

Now this is coming

Looks like he has hidden the weapon in the toilet, let's run

It's gone

Listen, our president told me to ask you, if you are plucking something here

Tell that president that it's already going in a rush

He has asked me to bring you with me, coming or not?

If the one that came stopped, wouldn't I come?

Go man

Try to make it faster

Don't know where the fellow who went to buy tablets disappeared

What is this?

Umm...Oh no! looks like I need to start from the beginning

Congratulations Valavan, You have acquired this contract amidst a huge competition

You should make the delivery on time, okay?

'It's the matter of five crore bricks'

'How will he supply us?', those questions need not arise

In the surrounding villages, I have six kilns

Lame excuses like it's sunny or raining

will not be heard by you from my side

The stones will keep climbing, and kilns will keep burning

So!

There is no space for

The word 'late'

We have changed this order in your name for the first time

So without damaging our name, keep consistent supply

Sir

It's not about just today or yesterday

Since last three generations, cutting bricks

is our business

Yeah fine!

Come, uncle!

You have become a big personality that I have to send someone to call you here

Oh!

Sit

Dude, don't take it otherwise if I say this

Say it in a way that I don't take it otherwise

We have not lied about a penny or two

We have lied about ten crores

But you have no regrets

Uncle, why should I regret?

Someone told you that, but you told that to everyone in the village

Did I tell anyone that

I have won 10 crores in the lottery?

Ask the people if you want

So whatever has happened is to fix the day of my death it seems

Forget it

How is the hundred days work scheme going?

Yeah eating, sleeping, gossiping and taking rest everything is going great

Is it? Come, let's go and have a look at it

Come?

Come quick

Look at his walk

- Right? - Did you see that, dude?

I reached the end without messing up

- Can you hear me? - Supervisor?

Hey! Come here

Here in this playground, ladies and gentlemen who are taking rest and playing

With all due respect I request you all to come beside me for a while

Come...come...come...

All the hundred days students come forward and come to us

Everybody listen to us carefully

Hundred days work scheme means

to clean and drill all the canal and lakes in our village and maintain them,

Only we have to make utilize of this scheme

Supervisor? Did you hear that, it was for you

Didn't I say this the other day?

You all teased me saying 'Are you giving your money? This is government's money'

That day we were also thinking like that

Only now we know that our money is government's money

He is saying many new things which I don't understand at all

In the next twenty days we are cleaning all the water bodies in our village and drilling it

What is he talking about?

I know it's shocking news

What are we going to do by drilling the canals for the rain that never comes?

What's the use?

The commence of rain is not in our hands

But Keeping the lakes clean is our duty

Beyond that as a president of this village I would like to do something for you

So after you finish cleaning up the water bodies, there is a surprise awaits you all

Sister, what could it be?

May be he will deposit the money in our bank accounts once he gets from Malaysia

Now let's all go and clean the water bodies, I think that's the thing

But I have no bank account?

Do you have an account in the grocery shop?

Oh yeah

We will put in that

Better you put somewhere, uh!

Velan, you are our own and the president of this village

It will be right if you say so

We will do as you say

Trust him, he will do all good hereafter

Who else will trust him if not us

Go go...do your work without wasting time

Go and start the work right away

Yeah let's all go

All of you work hard

What? What happened?

My back is stuck

It's nothing, man...you have come here for the first time to work

That's why you feel it

Small symptoms like this will show up

But you shouldn't worry about it, especially don't get scared

Slowly bend and stand... slowly bend and stand

Now bend like that and work

Everybody stretch your arms and legs and warm up first

Shake your arms and legs!

You might feel nervous in the beginning

But you should be strong

Where are you sleeping?

There is only empty cot

Oh !

He is resting the head this side it seems

Oh no!

Rascal!

You're kicking me?

Oh...Oh...no...ghost...ghost...Oh

Will it come or not?

How will it come out in the night?

For everybody it comes out in the morning, get lost

Hey!

To buy me a cow, didn't you took commission from me?

When will the cow come?

Oh no!

Hey

The rope is ready to tie the cow

A vessel is also ready to take the milk

To milk the cow I am also ready

To stab you I am also ready

No, man

You son of a monkey

Will you come in the midnight asking for milk?

Go it will come in the morning

When will it come?

I have booked in amazon, next week it will come

I don't care if you book from amazon or Ganesan

I need

I need my cow on fifteenth

What is on fifteenth?

That is the day of cow pongal

After praying to God

I have to milk the cow

You mustache head

Where are you keeping your hands to milk the cow?

Go you will get it on fifteenth go...

What if it doesn't come on fifteenth?

If it doesn't come on fifteenth, it will come on sixteenth

If it doesn't come on sixteenth also

You tell me

It should be here on seventeenth

On seventeenth

It will come, go now

The one who gave me money for buying cow is doing this much!

For someone else I have promised to buy him an elephant, what will he...

On seventeenth I will have to kill you with this can if you come back

Is it that bad to take money for my pocket?

The ones who cheat saying they will pay this much interest and loot money and leave for abroad in a night

Nobody questions them

But they are torturing me

I am going to tell a story to you all

Story?

After listening to the story carefully

You should give me a good judgement

Okay?

Yeah tell us

In a village there lived a saint and his disciple

Crossing many villages, during the dusk they reached this village

When the saint reached the village

told his disciple that we could stay in this village until next morning

During our stay, those who take good care of us

I would gift them with a gold coin, said the saint

Yeah!

The disciple who was listening to all this

spread this word all over the village

The villagers who got to know about this,

made the saint feel comfortable and all of them did a good service to the saint

Like the water that goes to the paddy field is consumed by the grass

The disciple also had the opportunity to experience the service

Poor guy he tasted it too

When the situation was like this

Suddenly the saint disappeared

Oh no! After that?

When the villagers got to know about this,

They thought, okay this saint has left the village

But what could be in his bag?

Some people were curious to know and so

Put their hands inside the bag and searched

While searching they could find only two under garments

What, under garments?

The villagers got angry looking at it

Instead of getting angry, do you expect them to feed a feast?

This black shirt is getting angry in the beginning itself

Okay, you people, tell me

Who is actually guilty?

The saint who said he will give a gold coin or

The disciple who believed him and told the people

Orappu?

Even though the saint told him, this idiotic disciple

had lost it or what?

That's right

What to do

A monkey from the foreign country called him and told that

Did he say phone?

They called him on phone when he went out for his morning ritual

Only this you will listen carefully

Whatever it is

The one who made mistake is the disciple

He is alive because it's just a story

If this incident were true and had happened in our village,

I would have scooped both his eyes out

If it was me

I would insert the billhook in his stomach and pull out

Wait...wait...wait... just sit and talk

His voice would be flowing down

If it was me, I would've snapped his head, keeping the knife on his neck

I will cut his throat

These people are barbaric

Look Orappu

The disciple is the only reason for all this

Hey Orappu, ignore all of them

But I have an opinion on the saint

How is it...

Wait...wait...wait...a minute, let him finish first

He is the only one who has a message which has social justice

Get up...get up...get up...

Get up...yeah!

Yeah tell me

But I think the saint...

What is he thinking?

The disciple is the reason

The one vote is gone

Wait...wait...

Just wait

He has already taken so much, how many times will you give him?

If I catch that disciple...

Hey no...wait...wait...we should all think about this together

Let it be...but we should think

It's understood, we must think and act

You stupid killers!

Hey, wait there

Not just a lakh or two, 5 crore bricks in total

If I have got the order from MNC company, it's the faith they have in me

and I have faith in you

Sir, we will keep your faith

What do you all say?

We will keep the promise

Hereafter, I will pay you extra money for each brick you cut

Thank you so much, sir

You should deliver the stones within the stipulated time

Okay, sir, we will do it

To celebrate this day, everyone eat the meal with meat and start working

Pleasure is ours, sir

Hey come everybody, let's eat

Come here

Everyone should eat properly

No one should have any remit, take care of them

- Greetings - Welcome, Mr. President

And

How is everything going?

Hope there is no problem

It's all going good

You asked for me to come

Yes Vela, it's about

Hey!

Take this

No, sir

Hey this is not for you

This is usually given to anyone who comes to this posting

Accept it

No problem, brother

I don't want this

Money is like God

It's God for us, but it's a paper for donkeys

I get it, you're in the giving position

I have arranged food for humans, I mean

- Yes, brother, let's eat - Okay, come

Greetings, dude!

Come, uncle, I was about to call you, but you're already here

I have also come here to see you regarding an important thing

- What's the matter? - Could you please turn off the fan?

I am shivering

Take care of your health, uncle It's really important

My life is more important than that

What are you saying, uncle?

Dude!

My anxiety is getting higher everyday

I am afraid to walk in the streets

I am roaming like a sheep waiting to be cut by people

I feel really bad for you, uncle

If a good thing is to happen to you for the truth I am going to say

Shall I call the people and tell them myself?

No...no...dude if you do anything like that, my death ceremony will happen

Nothing good will happen

But uncle, I feel like I should something for you

Dude, you've already done so much for me

If you want to do anything more, only voodoo is left

President, the villagers have come

Have they come?

Okay, uncle, let's see what is it

Dude, please go if you want to

Come on, uncle

Some day or the other he is going to blabber everything

He has asked all of us to come, what could be the matter?

Let's wait for him

Greetings, brother!

Dude...

Wait, uncle

I have asked you to come here to discuss something important

Oh!

To put roads for six streets, the government has sanctioned the fund

To put new road?

Yes

If we give that money to a contractor, he will lay the road

But it will again have pits and potholes in just two months of time

So if you do as I say, we can lay road to all the ten streets

It's a good thing

Nothing big, just a person per home

Has to work without wages for a week

A person per home is ready to come

We can do it

Yeah!

Then what?

We will lay a strong road for all the ten streets

If there is any money left, we will use it for some other public work

We can definitely do it

So happy to hear this

- Okay, let's go then - We shall take leave then

Why are you getting angry now?

Hey you're disturbing at work, go

Dear!

Dear?

Mama?

Awww!

Develop it...develop it

Did you see that?

Can anyone even see that?

Why are less people today and the stones are not loaded?

People from Velan's village have not come to work today, brother

Why?

They are laying road in the village, brother

People from that village won't be coming for work for a week, brother

Velan asked to us to tell you this, brother

Is he the father of responsibilities?

Oh!

He is the president right?

The days of carrying cloths on donkey has gone and you bought a tricycle it seems?

It's all arranged by our president Velan

Is it?

Your nephew has sanctioned with a loan too

In ten days he is going to buy a tractor

This whole village is changed after Velan has become the president

Okay, okay, bring these cloths early in the morning

Okay

'Tamil Nadu Govt. - Animal Husbandry Government Veterinary Hospital, Marakathur'

Are you applying it strongly?

Hey don't take the remaining to your home

You dried goat dung, sprinkle the water properly

'Doctor: Panimalar President: Karuvelan'

Hey, no one should talk like, he is doing this and that but he did nothing for me

That's why we have removed the one made of wood and replaced it with iron

Okay, take the remaining paint with you and leave now

Thank you

When did you come?

Why do you thank me? Wouldn't I do this much for you?

Supervisor, five days wages to be paid

Asking for the wages on time

But never complete work on time

Who is Velan here?

Sir...

It's me

No...no...my friend, sir

Oh I see

- And you, sir? - I am

I have come from the world bank

World bank?

Good morning, sir

Hey! World bank it seems

World bank!

The Malaysian government has sent me

Okay sir

I need to talk to Velan about that ten crores

Really? Ten crore?

Hold him...hold him...

Ten crore it seems!

Sir, shall we sit and talk?

Of course we can

Sir, Velan and I are not two different people, we are both the same

Anything you tell him is like telling to me, anything you tell me is like telling to him

Now to whom should I tell?

You should be telling to me, wait for a minute

Give me that soda...give it to me

Yeah like that

Whoa! Soda

He is drinking like a cow

Hey Orappu?

I have seen this person before

Snacks...snacks... buy one get one free...snacks

You are talking as if I have brought a snacks vendor who is disguised as an officer

Officer has come, ask him what's the matter

Wouldn't you all get with your mouth wide open?

Now the matter is, since it's a huge sum

There is a legal complication

Whether to settle the money in Malaysian Venkat

Its's not Venkat, it's ringgit

Yeah to give it as ringgit

or as dollars

or to give it in Indian currency is the confusion the world bank is facing

Sir, we do not want this dollar and chain

Give it in our town's currency

So can I give it in two thousand rupees bundles?

Snacks...snacks...fifty rupees per bundle

Idiotic fellow is rolling like how he rolls for the bundle

Officer sir, we don't want all that

The bundles of Ten rupee note, twenty rupee note, fifty rupee note

Hundred rupee note to the max, if you give us

We will arrange them at home and take for our expenses whenever necessary

If that's what you wish for

Airways won't do

Waterway is the right way

Whatever he is saying is totally wrong

So we will load it in the container and send

That's nice of you, sir

But the problem is

Since the distance is long, the days to reach here will also be long

He got the point, this is what we call a content

We don't mind even if it takes ten days

If the money reaches us safely that's enough

Plan success

Thanks!

This is what I was expecting

Who do you think you are?

The other day you said you won't send the people

I let it go

Today you have stopped our lorries by not letting us load the soil

Brother, do not use unwanted words

Everyday if you come and take the soil that's gathered to build rivage

How will the water be saved if the rain comes?

All our people's hard work will be wasted

Why are you people building Rivage for a rain that won't come

and drilling the lakes?

Didn't you take advance for the bricks that you are going to deliver years later?

Likewise we have built the Rivage for tomorrow's rain

Remember who you are talking to?

Shut your mouth

President is talking to us

And you are cross talking?

I don't know what you would do or where you would go

But the lorries should come loaded with soil to the kilns

Start the car

Dear God!

"The sky is pouring and we don't need an umbrellas"

"God for this there should be no barrier"

"The sky is pouring and we don't need an umbrellas'"

"God for this there should be no barrier"

"The ponds we made are full"

"Hunger and starvation disappeared"

"Wake up the blocked soil Oh rain!"

"The clouds beat the drums"

"and pour into the soil"

"We harvest with interest and principal"

"The sky is pouring and we don't want the umbrella"

"God there should be no barrier for this"

"Our soil that melted when the rain touched"

"Our eyes are swooned by our hearts"

"Our hearts are cooled down by getting drenched in the rain"

"So we have come to dance together"

"Our soil will turn into gold from now"

"Our soil will turn into gold from now"

"The sound of thunder is our music, The streaks of lightning our jewel"

"The drought flew away like a foe"

What sir?

Like you wished

With your hands you are ploughing and doing agriculture, are you happy now?

No, Vela

It's been five days since I sowed the seeds

But no sprouts

It's been five days but has not sprouted yet?

What if the sowed seeds have some problem?

Should we try some other variety?

No, Vela

We keep the God also in the sanctum

But only the rice seeds we keep up in the temple's tower casket

Because it's above God

How can that be faulty?

This is not a problem at all

If we test the soil, we can find out the problem

My uncle who is an agricultural professor is in Madurai

If we take this to him, we will get to know the issue

What else grandpa, we will take the soil for test

The faulty one will come out

I will take this tomorrow first thing, okay?

- See you, sir - Okay

Excuse me, sir.

Yes, come in

Sir, Marakathur soil report is ready

The test report of your soil says

Your soil has lost the potency to do agriculture

Sir

What are you saying?

Can't we do agriculture at all?

That's not exactly true

But the current condition of the soil is not suitable for agriculture

What's the reason sir?

The poisonous nature of the fertilizers that is being used in the soil

The chemical residues that is getting mixed in the underground water are some of the reasons

But those reasons don't suit your soil

Then what could be the reason?

The main reason that spoiled your soil is

The mesquite trees in your village

Huh?

There is only one way to solve this

To uproot all the mesquite trees in your village

After that, the required nutrients like water, fibre and plant altogether

has to be added to your soil to give life to it

You can start agriculture only after that

Vela, sprinkle the mesquite seeds in that lake while going

So you are making a point that how much ever it may rain

but not a single rice can be harvested from this soil, right?

Sir, like you think, we cannot avoid our soil completely

Like the professor said

If we remove all the mesquite trees and process the soil for agriculture

Definitely crops can be grown in our soil too

He is right

Last time you all together cleaned up the lakes, ponds and canals

The same way, if this time we all together uproot all the mesquite trees in our village

We can start agriculture in our own land

You are asking us to catch the mouse by drilling the mountain

We are going to the kiln, cutting the bricks, getting the wages and eating food

Don't you like that?

After you fought with Valavan, we faced difficulties going to work

We have a stomach too

What a useless idea

Sister...Sister...

Brother...

Please listen to me

Please wait

Velan!

I am there for you, come, let's do it together

First we should do agriculture

And make them believe in us

Okay, grandpa

Son...Velan?

The sand has become soil

The plants have started having flowers

I feel like I am looking at my own children growing

- This what you had wished for - My dream has come true

No!

God!

You let my crops burn

Did you just shut your eyes?

- Oh no! - Sir? Don't cry

Grandpa, did you spray the wrong fertilizer?

My hands won't do any mistake, Vela!

This is the only profession I have ever learnt

Oh no!

God, you cheated me!

Oh Grandpa! Why did you do this?

Grandpa

Grandpa?

Grandpa!

Grandpa!

Why did you do this to yourself?

Vela! Valavan's men had mixed poison in the fertilizer sprayer

Without knowing that

Why did you do this for that?

With my own hands I poisoned the crops I grew

Don't say that, grandpa

Hey! - Sir?

Trust this soil

Make sure your children do not starve for food in the future

Grandpa? Grandpa...

Grandpa, please wake up Nothing will happen to you

Wake up, grandpa!

You will be fine

Grandpa?

Oh no!

What's your problem?

If you start agriculture by sowing seeds and planting crops,

by seeing that if ten more people get inspired and come behind you

Then what about me who have invested lakhs and lakhs of money in the business?

Do you want me to be quiet and leave?

Burning grown crops is equal to infanticide

What now?

Crop's gone and an oldman's life is gone

That's all, right?

Listen carefully

If the logs don't come to my kilns for them to burn

I wouldn't mind burning all of these people

and bake my bricks

But I will never fall down in my business

Talk one more word

Instead of the logs burning in your kiln

Your body will be burning

Look!

When we got to know that you consider our lives equal to a hair strand

Not only people from our village

But the people from the surrounding villages will also not step in their feet in your kiln

When your life is based out of our lives, can you live at odds with us?

You will burn in hell

Vela!

Forgive us

When you called us to do agriculture

We didn't realise it's value

To fill our stomachs we had to work in his brick kiln

Take my words Vela...To recover this soil, we will be there with you till our last

What do you all say?

Yes, we will be with you

Let's go Come, Vela

Come on

Sir...Ummm... Who is the president of this village?

That's him, madam

Greetings, Madam!

Greetings!

And aren't you that...

person who asked for a wine shop for this village?

Yes, madam...but not now

I noticed everything while I was on my way here

I truly did not expect any of this changes

I had a different impression on you

Very good

They say, a village's development is a country's development

About that

Your president proved it to be right

If every other village starts acting like him,

Our country will automatically be in the developmental path

Prepare a documentary on before and after development of your village and mail it to me

Definitely, madam

I shall leave then

Thank you, madam

All the best

Vela!

Whoever came to our village used to run away closing their nose because it was stinking

Yeah!

First time you made the collector keep a finger on her nose out of surprise

We feel happy

Happy...we are very very happy

Vela?

The entire village is happy but you look sad?

Whatsoever

I have a guilt feeling that I have cheated this people

Who said you cheated them?

You are the one who changed their lives

Sir, you have changed the mesquite trees into fertile land

How did you get this thought?

Just like everyone, we thought that

the mesquite trees is what we have for our livelihood

We came to know from professor sir..

mesquite trees play a crucial role in destroying agriculture

Yes, mesquite trees suck upto 40 feet ground water in the area

The ground water will get dried and the land becomes barren

Once the ground water gets scares the trees absorb the moisture in the air

Further, these trees also stop the seasonal rains

Not more, even a bird also will not build it's nest on this tree

Such dangerous trees don't support our survival

Sir, do you mean to say that agriculture can be saved if these trees are destroyed?

These mesquite trees play a part in destroying agriculture

Once these were grown in Kerala

The Kerala people understood the harm it can cause

They searched every nook and corner and destroyed these trees

And celebrated after destroying them all

The climate of Kerala is so cool and pleasant

You can't find one mesquite tree there

Planting a tree is a nation's priority

More importantly these trees must be destroyed fully

Our people should realise that

But, is it possible to destroy all those trees in Tamil Nadu?

Sir, everything is possible if youngsters join hands

Youngsters joined hands and fought for Jallikattu to save our culture

Won't they fight to save agriculture which is our livelihood?

We use to share random things in Facebook, twitter, etc. in social media

Why don't we use them to create awareness of destroying these trees?

If youth join together and raise their voice

we believe that we can squeeze and kill the mesquite trees

One last question, sir

What is your message for the new generation?

People say that education does not perish

Likewise the un destroyable profession is agriculture

We should make the youngsters understand this

Media should spread this to everyone about destroying all these trees

Thank you very much

Thank you, sir

All these trees were like a fortune that fed us for generations

The whole town burned it down to ashes

Hey!

Normally, we burn useless items only

This girl..

..is of no use to me now

Come to me..

..if you want her

She is the reason for everything, right?

For no reason whatsoever, my kiln fire never went out.

You put out that fire now, right?

Hey! Won't you reform ever?

Kill him

Hey, do you want to become a hero by destroying mesquite trees?

How dare you try to destroy my kiln using these useless fools?

You and the girl will burn to ashes..

..in the same kiln
