Two teams clashed in a match

and they twisted it into a riot.

Who?

Check who it is?

It's Michael.

You've turned a calm

village into a battleground!

I kept warning you

to steer clear of Mani.

Told you he'd backstab

you. But you never listened.

The ones who bet fled

and went into hiding!

Those who once stood

together are now enemies!

Did the situation get worse?

You're seriously

asking me that?

Samsu is in critical

condition at the hospital!

He is getting shifted from

Kallakuruchi to Salem.

People are saying

he won't survive.

How bad is he doing?

What's the use of

worrying about it now?

Your father and Bhai

grew up like brothers.

Their closeness deeply

touched the villagers.

You ruined everything

in a single day!

Pray that his

condition improves.

If things start

to go south…

nobody can predict

what will happen.

HE LIT HATE, TOOK LIVES, CAUSED

PAIN NOW SEEKS REDEMPTION

My name is Thiru.

Thirunavukarasu.

This is my village… Murarbad.

It was once a very beautiful,

peaceful, and a

well-maintained village.

But it's not the same now.

The one village

that has the most

tension in our

district is Murarbad.

And the reason behind that is…

Me.

My drinking habit.

You've started early

morning, is it? Drunkards!

Those who studied with

you have settled in life.

Only you four

are still roaming

around jobless and useless.

I wonder when

realization will hit you!

My anger…

My wantonness…

It not only

ruined my life but

also the lives of

my village people.

THIRUNAVUKARASU,

aka THIRU i.e., MYSELF

-Don't run, buddy! -Stop!

-Buddy, stop. -Hey, stop running.

Stop, man!

Hey, don't run.

Someone catch him!

Hey, stop!

Move!

Hey, listen to us. Stop!

Where are you going?

Hey, stop!

Stop! Don't run.

I said stop!

[shoutings continue]

Thiru!

-Don't run, buddy! Stop! -Thiru…

Gosh, I'm running out of breath!

Thiru!

-Hey! -Stop, man!

What happened?

He's running to end his life.

Thiru… Listen to me.

Thiru, stop!

THIRU!

HEY!

Thiru…

Hey, Gulu Gulu!

Jump in and save him.

He doesn't know how to swim.

Thiru… Thiru!

Let me go.

Go and get him.

Oh my!

Hey, what is the problem?

Why did you run?

-How many? -144.

Thiru, answer my question.

What's this count? What

the hell is the problem?

That guy said it's

only the four of us

who are roaming

around jobless, Uncle.

And he is right.

Yes, Uncle.

That's exactly what I said, too.

It's not just us. But there

are others like us out there.

Uselessly!

But they didn't believe me.

Take a look.

The number of people who

are jobless in this village…

Tallied to 144.

And that's including you.

Hey!

If someone runs, you'll

chase him for no reason.

And you call yourself

busy and us useless?

-Didn't I tell you? -No!

This village will

not be peaceful

as long as these

four are alive.

We shouldn't spare him.

Come. Let's see

what you do.

Shut up!

-Shut up I say. -Stop the car.

Look, he's running

away. Catch him.

What is the problem here?

Here they are.

Why are you all gathered here?

Kathirvelu, won't you

never keep your trap shut?

So, Mr. Uncle…

Are you kidding me?

What's happening here?

We conducted a running

race and all of us participated.

What?! Don't you

know you aren't

supposed to conduct

any race here?

Despite that, you've

conducted one.

Shouldn't you have

asked permission?

Do you think they

ask my permission, sir?

Who the hell is that?

I'll break your bones. Rascal!

Now, put your hands down.

Hands down!

From now on, we'll make

sure we get your

permission, sir.

Listen up. They're creating

chaos every other week.

If this continues,

I'll put you behind

bars. You can't even

come out on bail.

Will you ever change?

Go away, everyone.

Disperse the crowd.

Come on. Disperse.

Kathirvelu, I'm letting

them go for you.

He's never going to change.

I wonder what sin we did

to be in this situation today.

Okay. Aren't you satisfied

with what you already did?

Why do you keep provoking

the people here to curse you?

You may escape from the police.

And even from the court.

But you can never

escape the eyes of God.

Those who err must

face the consequences.

Hey, wait. Eat and go.

You get angry for

every damn thing I say.

Of course I'll, if you

keep lamenting like this.

They call me jobless like

they're all district collectors.

Morons!

Thiru, this is not for

praying. Promise me.

Promise what?

That you'll quit drinking.

That you'll avoid

getting into fights.

And that you'll

stop playing cricket.

Forget it, Mom!

-Quit nagging! -Hey!

What's wrong, Gowri?

My child has a high fever.

Please apply some

holy ash on him.

Oh God! He's burning.

Take him to the hospital.

Like a doctor can

heal what God can't!

Listen up! Our Goddess will

soothe the pain

in our hearts.

But to ease the pain in our body,

you need to see a

doctor, understood?

Go on! Do you

have money?

-No, brother. -Here you go.

Take him fast!

O, dear Maariyamma!

Protect us all!

Rani! Your prayers

won't go unheard.

Believe me, your

son will surely change.

I don't care about that.

I wasn't praying for him.

I was praying

for my daughter.

I know all about you!

You can't lie when

you are at the temple.

You'll soon see

your son reform and

earn a good

reputation in this village.

I swear on her.

You can trust me.

My mother keeps crying always.

Either to me or

in some temple.

She kept going to temples

to pray for me to reform.

But I was courting

girls and being playful.

" Sembaruthi, Sembaruthi "

" A girl as lovely

as a flower to see "

" She came

searching for her love "

" Eyes lined with hues

of enchanting blue "

" Dancing through the

lines, Above and below "

" Again and again, I read

this library of

love with delight "

" Day by day, it draws me

near, To read her tale, so dear "

" Sembaruthi, Sembaruthi "

" A girl as radiant as

a blooming beauty "

Move aside.

I need to get down.

Bro, she's asking

you to step aside.

Then it's confirmed love.

Propose your love tomorrow and

I'll write a poem

on it for the world!

Eyes wander, sleepless

through the night

No beauty's heart,

he's left unwooed

Love breathes in the air

Wherever love

resides, he is there

Oh, adorned in jasmine flower

My heart's pulse

inked on paper, true

You are the Heera,

this Murali has sought

Yuck!

Joy blooms bright

when you succeed

Failures teach

what you might need

Excuse me, sir.

He does not weary

in his quest

New admission.

Chasing love without a rest

Within his heart,

vast space abides

A haven for women,

where love resides

Unbothered by those

who turned away

He finds new paths

to love each day

Amidst the flocks

of pigeons that roam

He found his love,

his heart, his home

For she is his own,

his cherished love bird

[sings movie song]

Stop, stop.

What's your name?

-For what? -Really?

What a different name!

Are you a Christian?

Why do you

want to know?

To include you

in our ration card.

My buddy wanted to know.

What? Who is that?

The one standing there,

handsome like Ramaraj.

Just tell me your name.

Mmm. Dhanalakshmi.

Dhanalakshmi! Nice name.

Where are you from?

Shankarapuram.

Shankarapuram?

It's a problematic place!

Hey! I'm S. Dhanalakshmi.

She didn't even

hesitate to tell her name.

For sure, this is love.

-Are you sure? -Of course.

This is confirmed.

Pure love!

Let's start music.

" Oh honey, with that bewitching

smile My desire

for you amplifies "

" Open up your heart

Bring forth a feast of love! "

" Under the waves A fish

swirls and twirls in joy! "

" She carved a place

within my heart! "

" Oh, my dearest, With

such elegance, she sways! "

" My beloved! "

" My lady love! "

" Protected and pristine

Your magic's still unseen! "

" Oh, my sweetheart!

Treasured and adored! "

" Oh my…! "

" Hey you, fearless and daring! "

" As delicate as a blossom You

take me to heights

of happiness! "

" Hey, my angel!

Always stay close "

" In love's embrace Let's

stay entwined forever! "

" My beloved! You're

like the moon's own kin! "

" My dearest one You

keep my heart curious!

" A cascade of pure beauty! "

" Like a whirlwind with a gentle

breeze You embrace my soul "

" Hey you, fearless and daring! "

" As delicate as a blossom You

take me to heights

of happiness! "

" Hey, my angel!

Always stay close "

" In love's embrace Let's

stay entwined forever! "

" As the day concludes

Homework awaits "

" What do you desire, my love? "

" Your shoulders

are mine to lean on! "

" Oh love, what's on your

mind? Your gaze

is full of love! "

" With those

tender hands of yours

You weaved our hearts together "

" With those

tender hands of yours

You weaved our hearts together "

" Entwined forever We'll

meet our end together "

" Hey you, fearless and daring! "

" As delicate as a blossom You

take me to heights

" Hey, my angel!

Always stay close "

" My dearest one You

keep my heart curious! "

" A cascade of pure beauty! "

" Like a whirlwind with a gentle

breeze You embrace my soul "

I secured a seat for you amidst

strong competition, Narayanasamy.

INDIAN'S REAWAKENING COUNCIL

Use this golden

opportunity wisely.

We're definitely

going to win, Leader.

The upcoming election

won't be as easy as you think.

That too, of all

the constituencies

in the northern districts,

yours is the most problematic.

Every time, we tend to

win by just 50 or 100 votes.

There are no challenges

with your other constituencies.

We'll easily achieve

the expected vote count.

But this particular village is

going to be a headache for us.

We have to put some

serious effort there.

Do you know which

place I'm talking about?

Murarbad!

-MURARBAD -I guess you

know who's the majority there.

We're not on the best

terms with them right now.

So, they won't vote for us.

Do you think we can win in

that area without their vote?

Yes, we can!

If we secure the

votes of all the others…

our victory is inevitable.

But that's not an easy task.

Because a sense of brotherhood

exists between

them in that village.

They'll discuss

together and vote

for the person

they've agreed on.

I'm friends with the Muslim

boys from that village.

I used to play

cricket with them.

Keep them close.

Also, we provide the chariot for

the Mariamman Temple festival

that happens every

year in the village.

And we are still

prioritized in the chariot

procession and in

their prayer dedications.

Our victory is

inevitable, Leader.

You have my word.

Mere words don't interest

me. I want to see it happen.

[Thiru] Maharajan

He's my constituency

chairman's son-in-law.

He's the right hand

for the Chairman.

My playful ways never

caused big problems,

at least not until

Maharaja showed up.

The minute he entered my life…

My life went into a toss.

MAHARAJAN - THE ENEMY

Hey!

What are you doing for so long?

Come. Here you go.

You didn't have

to come for this.

I'll give it right away.

Make it fast.

You take seven

hours to buy 20 liters.

Hey! We've been standing in

the scorching sun from morning.

Don't we look like humans?

But you give it off

to him immediately.

Give it to me first.

Don't you know who he is?

How can you talk without

giving him respect?

I don't care who he is.

Such a big mouth

lady! She talks law.

How dare you belittle women?

Watch your tongue, rascal!

What the…? Scram now.

You won't get any oil.

This isn't your

father's property.

You don't own this shop,

the government does.

Who are you to

deny what the

government gives?

You scoundrel!

Thiru…

Buddy…

What happened?

Maharajan slapped your mom.

He slapped her because

she demanded for oil.

Hey, Thiru. Don't go.

Let me go, Mom.

Listen to me.

Drop this, Thiru.

Listen to me.

I said don't. Listen to me.

Hey, stop it. Let him go.

Stay away, Mom.

Please listen to me. Let him go.

Please, Thiru.

-Where is he? -Thiru is inside.

I hope they haven't

filed a case yet.

No, Dad. The

Chairman just came.

You didn't have to come, sir.

You can take him

and leave, sir.

Hello, sir.

Hello, sir.

You think you can

beat up anyone?

I'll kill you if you

ever repeat this.

I don't want to see you.

Get out.

Go!

I apologize on his behalf, sir.

Both of them are at fault.

They grew up as

brothers. Let this

small issue not

ruin that relationship.

No need to file

a police case, sir.

Sir, let this go. Please.

I told you to stop it.

Why did you not listen?

It's all my fate.

How can I keep quiet

when someone hits you?

I know how to

take care of myself.

No one asked you to do that.

Is he out of his mind?

Why should I apologize?

You never listen to me!

How much do you

have in hand?

Sir, I feel it's better to

compromise and resolve it here.

If Moideen Bhai

gets to know that he

hit that lady, it'll

become a big issue.

Hey, why are you still here?

Just leave, man.

I'll bring Mom home.

You shut up.

It's alright. Why do

you get angry now?

What'll he do? Tell me

I don't care if he files a case.

Raji, let's go.

Hey, come on. Don't do anything.

Come on. Let's have a face-off.

Don't. Listen to me.

Wasn't that enough?

Come on, I say.

Come on!

Listen to me. Let's go.

Let go, Raji.

Listen to me. Come on.

Let go of me.

Come.

We'll take care of him later.

He hit me in

front of everyone.

And you talk

compromise with him.

That's how much

you respect me.

Random people

will start hitting me.

And you can have

fun looking at that.

Raji, if someone hits you

I feel the pain as much.

I would have buried him

alive. That's how angry I was.

We need their help.

Until then, keep calm.

That guy dragged him

into a fight for no reason.

My husband kept

quiet only for you.

But if you keep doing this,

how will the

people respect him?

Raji is one of us.

You can't let this go.

Mom, I'll take care

of my son-in-law.

Take Raji inside.

Do it.

Come with me.

It's wrong only when

we start the fight.

It's even worse to let go of

the ones who start the fights.

Raji…

It's not easy to fight him.

Moideen Bhai will

be the first to step

in if something

happens to that family.

Be happy that she didn't

tell him about this incident.

Moideen Bhai will go to

any extreme for his sister.

As long as he's there,

we can't harm them.

[Thiru] That incident sowed

enmity in Maharajan's heart.

He was waiting for the right

time to strike back at me.

He seized the

opportunity during the

cricket match held

in our village for that.

You've probably

caught an India-Pakistan

match on the TV or the radio.

But have you seen it live?

Now in our village…

We have to win this

match. Have that in mind.

Bhai…

Are you scared?

Can we have a bet?

MCC is winning today.

No need. Leave.

Shall I ask Thiru

to play left-handed?

Bhai, place the bet.

We're winning today.

Jaffar! Stop it.

Jaffar, I'm betting

on you. Play well.

-Raji, listen to me. -Bhai!

Our boys will win today.

-How much? -2500.

I bet 5000.

[Thiru] There are two

cricket teams in my village.

3 Star and MCC.

3 Star was owned

by Allaudin Bhai.

Every player was a...

MCC is ours.

All the players were...

So, people began calling

us India and Pakistan.

The players started

believing it, too.

3 Star could accept defeat

against anyone,

except us.

The reason being, 3 Star was

the first ever

team to be formed.

To be fair, they inspired

us to step up and play.

However, over the past six

months, we've been

defeating 3 Star.

Repeated failures ignited

their rage against us.

In my village, cricket wasn’t

just a game - but a gamble.

There were two betting teams,

mirroring the two cricket teams.

One was Maharajan's.

The other one was Mani's.

Maharajan placed bets on 3 Star.

Mani placed bets on MCC.

Maharajan turned our competition

into a feud out of

his anger towards me.

…3 Star.

This was the best team once.

But today, they have fallen down.

In today's match…

We lost! It was an

easy match, and we lost.

None of you idiots listened

to what I was saying.

Bhai, I'm not playing

anymore. I'm leaving.

Hey, stop.

Stop acting like an idiot.

We haven't won a single

match in the past six months.

It's infuriating.

Shall I tell you something?

What?

Call Samsu from Bombay.

Ask him to be a guest

player for our team.

Our boys might feel

hopeful after seeing him.

Above all, they will

have a sense of fear.

What do you think?

[in Hindi] The Syndicate

Committee has fixed their rates.

But you are fixing

your own price!

Even the retailers are

demanding the same price.

I want to know. Why did you

even create this committee?

From the manufacturers,

wholesale distributors,

retailers to the

platform sellers…

There should be a

profit of at least ten to

fifteen percent above

the break-even point.

This is our Deen

Garments' policy.

Son…

Don't teach us about

break-even points.

Our syndicate never

considers these platform sellers.

Moideen Bhai is adamant

about ensuring their welfare.

To survive, he sold

kerchiefs on the Andheri

platform. He's still the

same old platform seller.

-Hey-- -You, stop it.

Please, sit down. Both of you.

We're going to follow the rate

that the syndicate has fixed.

Deen Garments should

also follow the same.

What do you say?

The syndicate's

decision doesn't matter.

Whatever Moideen Bhai

fixes, that's our final rate.

-Do whatever you can. -Listen,

I can't talk to kids like you.

Go and bring Moideen Bhai here.

He won't come here

to discuss this silly stuff.

I've already told you everything.

Let's go, brother.

They won't budge

if we talk like this.

Those morons took

their anger out on our boy.

They attacked us when

we weren't expecting it.

Samsu has a minor

scratch on his face.

Omar!

I'll come there.

Assalamualaikum Saleem bhai.

I'm not greedy.

I'm pricing my goods based

on the quality and our efforts.

One who sells a 100-rupee

item for 300 is a swindler.

One who sells it

for 200 is a thief.

One who sells it for 150

is a lousy businessman.

One who sells it for 125

is an honest businessman.

I sell it for 125 rupees.

You are selling

it for 300 rupees.

Haram!

Halal!

Is he the one who

hit Samsudeen?

My son is my life.

Is this the hand that

put a mark on his face?

Omar!

HEY, QUIET!

Khuda Hafiz!

[Thiru] Moideen Bhai.

He migrated to

Bombay from our village,

and started a small textile

store with the

money my dad lent.

He grew his business

slowly from the profit he made.

Today, he owns three

textile mills in Bombay.

Bhai, generally we don't

hang photos in our houses.

Who is he?

He's Ponmanickam. My best friend.

He stood by me through

all my tough times.

I was a poor chap.

But if I'm what I am

today, a millionaire…

He's the reason for it.

I'm forever indebted to him.

Samsudeen.

Moideen Bhai's only son.

He was also a

great cricket player.

When I played for

Pachaiyappa's college,

he played for Anna University.

After that, he

went on to join the

Kapil Dev Academy in Bombay.

[in Hindi] We're

looking for an excellent

player from your academy

for the Ranji trophy.

In my academy,

everybody is excellent.

But there is this boy.

And he's very talented.

Samsudeen is a fantastic player.

Is Samsudeen Moideen Bhai's son?

Yes, he is.

But he's a Tamilian.

So what?

Is Tamil Nadu a

part of India or not?

I think, no religion, no

caste… They're part of India.

That's more important.

Well done! Your kid

is extremely talented!

I'm not saying this just

because he's your son.

Given his talents

and abilities, he

can work magic

with those hands!

The coach feels

that if he works hard

he'll play for India one day.

[humming]

[in Hindi] People now recognize

Samsudeen as the son of Moideen.

But the day when

people will recognize

Moideen is Samsudeen's

dad, isn't far away.

He has the ability

and is that talented!

Hey, come closer!

Yes… yes… Perfect!

Howzat! HOWZAT!

Hey, he's out!

Hello?

Samsu, this is Alauddin speaking.

Tell me, bhai.

Can you come home

and play for our team?

What happened?

Your dad started

this cricket club.

He named it 3 Star.

But today, we're losing

face in front of everyone.

Only you can save

our team's pride.

Will you come here?

Thiru…

Why waste away your

talent by staying here?

Why don't you

go off to Madras

and play for your old club?

With a state-level

player’s certificate,

you can easily secure

a government job.

You'd still get

paid without

doing a stroke of work.

Oh, quiet now.

Either you leave to

Madras or come

with me to Bombay.

But don't waste your time

hanging around

with that Mani.

You're going to Madras?

3 Star fought to

have MCC as their

first match in

tomorrow's tournament.

Let's not do this.

The nerve of them to do so!

They even brought down

Samsu from Bombay for this.

Won’t they assume

you fled in

fear if you leave

for Madras now?

I bet Alauddin

that you’d win,

even if Samsu

plays for them!

Madras, it seems.

Let's not do this. Please.

Thiru, Samsu will surely come.

He'll surely come for

you and not for Alauddin.

Murarbad MCC.

Give us a good ball.

Murarbad 3 Star.

Why do you seem happy

when you're about

to lose, Raji?

Mani, those days are gone.

Our boy Samsu is here.

We haven't even started yet.

How'd you know if your

boy can work his magic?

How much do you want to bet?

You tell me.

Ten thousand?

3 Star's winning

for sure. I bet 2,000.

I bet 2,500 on MCC. What say?

In an attempt to turn around 3

Star's six-month losing streak,

SAMSUDEEN - THE PREY Samsudeen

came all the way from Bombay!

[all] Samsu! Samsu! Samsu!

The first ball!

That was a fantastic bouncer!

It's like the ball's

on a trampoline.

Come on, Bhai.

You can do it!

[commentator] …is baffled by

Samsudeen's bowling skills!

I know Samsudeen

will definitely show up.

The enmity between him

and I isn't something new.

It began 13 years ago.

Dad, let's go home.

I swear I'll study well.

Hey, keep quiet.

I promise. I'll do

better. I swear.

Keep quiet, I said.

Moideen, he's

crying his eyes out.

We should probably

take him home.

Hey, keep quiet.

He's just a kid who's throwing a

tantrum. You're one

step ahead of him!

This is such a

prestigious school. I

struggled to get

them admitted here.

Sign this.

You don't listen,

and neither does he.

Please, Dad. This

place scares me!

Hey, come here. Come here!

Dad! Dad!

Dad!

If your dad wanted you to study

here, he should

have done just that.

Why'd that man

drag me into this?

Don't you dare

disrespect my dad!

I'll say whatever I want!

We paid for you to be

here. We made a mistake.

All your money

came from my dad.

-Watch your mouth. -You--

To me, they reached

that stature

because of my dad's money.

Samsu felt that without their

help, we couldn't even eat.

That's the reason why

we never got along.

Wow! What a fantastic six!

Way to go!

That's how you

show it to them!

Captain Thiru has started

showing his aggression!

What a shot! What a

shot! That was explosive!

You threw it out of the park!

Thiru, send them

packing to Bombay!

Close their crying

mouths with lollipops.

Look at Thiru knocking it out!

And there goes another boundary!

And another one!

Hey, commentator!

Can't you see him crying?

Go, wipe away his tears.

And the next four

bumps up the score!

That was a fantastic sixer!

The MCC team has

scored 126 runs in 15 overs.

He may have

trouble at the

start, but wraps

it up with ease.

3 Star needs to

score 127 runs to win.

Let's see what Samsudeen

has up his sleeve.

The first ball goes for

an amazing boundary.

The next ball goes for a six.

Don't try to pull your tricks!

Fours coming in a row

as he swings his bat!

Never ever underestimate

his ability, I tell you!

Samsudeen will fire you!

Who's that chap firing away?

He's from Bombay. Trained

under Kapil Dev, you know.

Samsudeen is on fire, sending

the ball flying

in all directions!

Samsudeen is on the

top of his game today.

Oh, my, a wicket! 3

Stars' first man down.

There goes another man!

Even though they're

losing wickets rapidly,

Samsudeen is letting

those sixes and fours fly

striking fear into the

hearts of his opponents!

Samsudeen’s piling on

as many runs as he can!

Come on, bhai! You've got this!

Looks like he'll end

their losing streak…

That Bombay fellow

really wants to finish this off.

3 Star team has lost nine

wickets at the end of 14 overs…

6 runs needed off 6 balls. Hit a

dot, and let Samsu

take care of it!

You can do it, man!

All they need is

6 runs off 6 balls.

First ball becomes a dot ball.

We only lost one

ball. Fire up in the next!

Why not hit a single and

let Samsu do the rest?

All he needs is a

ball to wrap it up.

They've now got 5

balls to finish it off.

And their second

one's a dot as well!

Can't you give up

your turn already?

Stop wasting our

chances! Give it to him--

Gosh dang it!

Idiot. Hit a single!

Does he really know to

play or is it all a farce?

Just hit a single, already!

And there goes

their fourth dot ball.

Is it that difficult to hit a

single and give him his turn?

Very good. We have a man down.

Samsu!

Hey, time to buy more bats.

You're going to break

a lot more of them.

What? What?

What? Come at me!

Why are you dragging me?

You expect me to walk away?

That penniless dog!

Raji… you brought

someone from Bombay?

He couldn't do anything about it.

Hey! I'll bash your teeth in!

What? Come at me! I dare you!

He might have

learned from Kapil Dev.

But our guy taught

cricket to Kapil Dev!

I'll smash your face.

Learn tailoring instead of this.

Could be of help in

your family business.

[phone rings]

-Hello? -Assalamualaikum, Bhai.

Kapil Ji, waalaikumsalaam!

[in Hindi] How are you?

I'm doing great!

I have good news for you.

What will you

give me in return?

I'd give my life, too,

if you say the word.

So your good news is,

Samsu is selected

for Ranji Trophy!

Congratulations to you!

You're joking, right, sir?

Haha, it's true!

Oh my, this is excellent news!

I feel I'm floating in the air!

Thank you. Thank you so much!

This was all through your grace!

May Allah bless you immensely!

Our Samsudeen…

…has been selected to

play in the Ranji Trophy!

[landline ringing]

Samsu, Kapil sir called

saying you've made it

into the Ranji Trophy team!

What's wrong?

Why are you silent?

Aren't you happy about it?

I am happy, Vappa!

I'll leave immediately.

No, don't! I'll be coming

there for the festival.

We'll return together after that.

I am so proud of you!

You did it!

Could you do me

a favor, bhai?

Of course! Just say it.

Instead of holding our

tournament in the summer,

conduct it during

the Santhanakoodu.

I'll defeat them right

in our village ground.

This is just a game.

Winning this doesn't

make them any special.

Losing it doesn't

make us any worse.

-Understood? -Bhai,

Why'd you bring me here

if this was just a game?

You brought me here because

you saw it as a prestige issue.

I want to leave as a winner.

If you trust me,

run this tournament.

I have all my hopes

pinned on you.

I will conduct this match

just as you wanted.

The MCC decided

not to vote for my uncle

because I keep

hanging out with you all.

Can you convince your

people to vote for him?

Brother? Why would

you even ask this?

Of course, I'll do it!

Where's Thiru? I don't

see him anywhere.

He's probably around

here somewhere.

Hello, Balu!

Moideen Bhai has

been asking for you.

What's with the sudden

visit to the mosque?

Must be here for the food.

Hey, get the food ready!

What are you staring?

I was just stating facts.

As if this is new to you.

You keep your mouth shut!

Everyone's watching, man.

I'll break your jaw.

Welcome, cricket fans, to

an exciting cricket tournament

brought to you by

the 3 Star Cricket Club

in celebration of the

Santhanakoodu festival!

You've probably caught

an India-Pakistan match

on the TV or the radio.

But have you seen it live?

3 Star is surely

winning. Want to bet?

Why don't you do the honors?

The match between 3 Star

and MCC is about to begin.

This is more than just a

tournament; it's a battle!

Will it be India?

Or Pakistan?

Will it be Kallakurichi?

Or Karachi?

Is it going to be

Gavaskar or Imran Khan?

Who will come out as winners,

and who will face defeat?

We have a special guest

coming to kick

off the tournament!

A man with a heart so kind.

In Bombay, his rule defined.

Make way for Mr. D. G. Moideen…

Look, we're Indians,

and you're Pakistanis.

Watch how we rip

you at the game!

Scram now, all of

you! Bhai is here.

-Greetings, Bhai! -Hello, hello.

Hope you're alright.

Yes, thank you!

Assalaamalaikum, Bhai!

Who's that on the mic, Alauddin?

A witty guy from the

neighboring village.

Witty? He's being

toxic! Call him here!

Divakar, come here!

Spewing hate as

humor? Not cool.

If people are

listening to you,

it's important to be responsible

and speak in a

considerate manner.

You shouldn't instigate hatred.

Do you even understand

the power words hold?

Watch what you say.

Forgive me, Bhai.

What is this?

He dragged

religion into the sport

and poisoning young minds!

What was that?

Indian team and Pakistan team,

huh? Who is calling them that?

No, no.

Cancel this match at once.

Bhai!

Players have come

from across towns.

It won't look good if

we cancel it halfway.

I'll vouch for proper gameplay.

Please inaugurate the

tournament by tossing the coin.

How did you overlook this?

When has the youth

ever listened to us?

We do tell them

but they refused to.

This isn't healthy.

Hello, Thiru.

Heard you aren't

around much at home.

Have you cleared your arrears?

I will clear it this time.

Clear it and come to Bombay soon.

I call heads.

We're batting first.

I warmly welcome each

one of you present here.

It's widely known that

more Hindus participate

in the annual Santhanakoodu

festival than Muslims.

We, Hindus and Muslims, take

turns holding the

position in elections.

And no one would

dare oppose them.

This is an unwritten rule

followed for generations.

That's how united we are.

And I expect the

same over here as well.

I hope you play the

match with the right spirit.

All the best!

So far, MCC and 3 Star have

played 44 matches

against each other.

MCC has won all 44 games.

Will the fate of 3

Stars change for good?

Or will MCC add

another laurel to the bag?

Let's wait and watch along

with the ardent fans of 3 Star.

Come on!

MCC has set the field.

Opening the innings for 3

Star, it's Samsudeen and Jaffer.

I used our winnings

to place the bet.

Make sure we

win this at any cost.

Otherwise, we destroy

them in plain sight.

Don't fret about the money.

The result of the match

doesn't matter to us.

What matters is using every

opportunity to create disputes.

We need to do it. But no

one must know it was us.

Place our men around the ground.

First ball of the first over!

Dasarathan is with the ball while

Samsudeen

tackles it with his bat.

What a shot! A

sixer in the first ball!

This match has kicked

off with a fiery start!

Look how he sends

the ball to the sky!

That's the way to go!

Keep at it!

…scored 24 runs.

Kathirvel, are we watching Hindus

on one team and

Muslims on the other?

Didn't we raise them

with love and unity?

They were all united before.

After that, all hell broke

loose and that separated them.

Soemone did it.

And now, they're

fighting over it.

There's nothing we can do, Bhai.

With the bowler approaching

Samsu, he sends

the ball for a four!

What a beautiful six that was!

Soared high into the air.

There goes another into the air!

Six runs on the board.

Come on, come on. Come on, Samsu!

One, two, three, four,

there goes another four!

3 Star lost by a

narrow margin last time.

I have some work at the mosque

for the Santhanakoodu festival.

-I'll take leave. -Alright, Bhai.

…Samsudeen.

-See you, Saami. -See you.

Here to avenge that loss

is the fiery Samsudeen!

There goes the first wicket.

OUT!

3 Star has lost

their first wicket.

There goes another to an LBW.

Thiru's on a roll

with the ball today.

What a beautiful

catch! And that's out!

The match is

catching the heat…

What trick do you have

up your sleeve, MCC?

Look at Samsudeen

sending the ball high up

in the air like he

just doesn't care!

Samsudeen from our town

has been selected to play in

the Ranji Trophy and will

be representing Maharashtra!

You can do it, boys!

This could be the last

match we see him play here.

If we want to watch him play,

we can only do it on the TV.

Struggling and Samsudeen? Please,

look at him scoring like a champ!

Someone get me some hot

water? My throat's

crying for some.

Another boundary on the board!

You may have witnessed rivers

flowing, and

rivers of blood too.

Ever seen a river

of runs flowing?

Samsudeen's making

them run for their lives!

3 Star's on a high while

MCC fears for their lives.

The score is 129 runs after 15

overs. Quite a massive chase!

Look at how you bowled!

You bowled like

you wanted them

to win! And you

think you did well?!

Can you stop rambling?!

Did you think only we were

playing? He is,

too, and plays well!

Face them and show

them who we are!

3 Star players have taken

their positions on the ground.

Pad up now!

Have you lost it? Why do

you want him to bat first?

You bat first.

Listen to me and pad up!

He never listens.

First ball of the first over.

Facing Bombay's daredevil,

Samsudeen, is Arun.

A wicket in the

first ball it is!

Someone send

them home soon!

Thought they'd be good with

the ball, but

proved us all wrong.

Amazing start for

the 3 Star team.

And the opponents

are not happy about it.

Bombay's tornado is…

Thiru, if you use

up all the balls now,

it will be difficult

to catch up later!

Don't risk it with

this big target.

You pad up and help them!

Listen, I know what to do.

Stay quiet. Pad up, boys.

Samsudeen changes

the position of the fielders.

Look at the speeding ball

take another wicket down!

Clean bowled!

Can someone cement

the stumps already?

They’re giving it

all back this time!

SUPER!

He bowls with momentum…

The ball goes in the air…

Ah! What a great

catch that was!

Singlehandedly, Samsudeen…

Well done, my boy! Didn't

I tell you to play earlier?

They can't handle the heat!

Buzz off! They've

played well so far.

It's gone!

My money's gone

down the drain.

There goes the ball, and

hits the stumps! A free ball!

And he's duck out!

Do you want a peg?

You can bat with a kick!

Buzz off now!

Looks like the captain

will step in when it's over.

There goes another in a stumping!

Mani!

I’ll ask Samsu to

bowl with his left hand.

Tell your guy to bat

at least now, man.

Anything left?

Pour me some.

Didn't I tell you?

Pour him a strong one.

Next player batting is

all-rounder Aadhiraagam Balu!

He's running…

He continues while the

other batter halts midway…

And it's a run-out!

I swear I will slap the

living daylights out of you!

Ladies and gentlemen, here

comes the most awaited player!

MCC's Star of Hope!

Here comes our boy Azharuddin

alias Captain Thirunavukarasu

to grace the ground!

Did you think this was

an MCC vs 3 Star match?

This is a Samsudeen vs

Thirunavukarasu match!

Oh, damn! Nearly missed him.

First ball turned out to

be an amazing bouncer!

Samsudeen is making things

difficult for Thirunavukarasu.

The odds of MCC

winning today seem low.

Why do you look gloomy?

We're like any hero that

receives the whacking first.

And then we hit back.

Hit back like anything!

You give it your best, man!

He's given it

all in this shot!

Not sure if it's

a four or a six.

That was a fantastic six!

See! He sent

it out of the park!

Never doubt my

buddy boy, I tell you!

Bowl to the legside,

not the offside!

Hang on. He just

started his play.

The bowlers will be running

after all the balls

they hit at him!

That's his speciality.

Thirunavukarasu, who

was initially struggling,

now manages to

score big with his bat!

Chances of MCC

winning slowly rises…

Captain Thirunavukarasu is

smashing it like

there's no tomorrow.

MCC has scored 18

runs off the last ten balls.

He lets them

take off, then

catches up to

them at full speed.

That's MCC for you!

MCC is on the verge of winning

with 13 runs off seven balls.

There goes another

four to the board!

MCC is edging closer to a win.

Six runs needed off two balls

with the last man standing.

Both teams have equal

chances of winning at this point.

Is it going to be MCC or 3 Star?

Will it be Thirunavukarasu

or Samsudeen?

Giving it his all in that

shot, Thirunavukarasu!

CATCH!

Neither a four nor

a six. But a wicket!

And that's a win for 3 Star!

Here’s to Samsudeen, who brought

back MCC's

prestige all by himself!

After all, 3 Star was

named by Samsu's d--

Yes! Yes!

Umpire, this is a six.

-What? -It was a six.

It's a six. Come and take a look.

It's a six. It's a six.

It's a clean out.

Hey, Mani.

He stepped on the line.

It's an out.

Did you see it? How

can you say that?

Samsu, it's a six.

Bhai, he's right.

Why did you touch it?

Bro, stay on the

ground. Don't come.

You couldn't do it for two years.

How did you think

you'll win this time?

Talk with respect.

You cheaters. Why

should I respect you?

Watch your words, Mani.

Is this why you brought

people from Bombay?

-You… -Samsu, don't do it.

How dare you!

Listen to me!

Don't go. Listen to me.

What can you do?

The umpire's decision is final.

Please! Don't resort to violence.

Hey, committee

members! Stop them!

Don't fight! Stop them!

Go and check

what's going on.

Why are you

behaving like animals?

Who are you people?

Did you come here to fight?

What are you people

looking at? Go

and stop them.

Stop them.

Hello?

Send a few men into the village.

Don't forget to wear the cap.

I don't care about the money

anymore. Don't spare them. Go!

No matter how much we tell

them. They just

won't get it.

We shouldn't have

let them play.

Moideen Bhai will go to

any extreme for his sister.

As long as he's there,

we can't harm them.

Hey, don't do it!

Listen to me!

Hey!

HEY!

Thiru slashed Samsu!

You morons! What the

hell are you guys doing?

The police are on their

way. Leave this place!

Go now. Hurry up!

Come on, go!

Bhai, faster, please.

Doctor.

Check his hand, Doctor.

Please hurry.

Damn it.

How could they do this?

Did you inform Bhai?

Yes, I did.

Doctor, is he alright?

Who are you to the patient, sir?

His dad.

Sorry, sir.

It's a deep cut.

His nerve

has been cut.

He needs surgery

to fix the nerve.

But this hospital is

not equipped for it.

Take him to Salem or

Coimbatore immediately.

And you need to get

there in three hours.

Okay… Okay, Doctor.

-Krishnamoorthy, call

Dr. Shariff and inform him.

Ask him to come immediately.

Okay, Bhai.

Who the hell did this?

It was Thiru, Bhai.

I saw it.

Get our people on the ground.

All we need is

to kick off the riot.

You are winning this election.

Things will go the

way we planned.

Smash everything!

Burn it down!

They turned a spat at a

cricket match

into a religious riot.

Who did this?

I'm inquiring, sir.

Then call for a peace

committee meeting tomorrow.

Get both sides to attend.

The injured guy

is in the hospital

while the perpetrator

has absconded.

Let's hold the

meeting after two days.

Just because they

did something wrong,

it doesn't give them the

right to set their house on fire!

We, too, can burn

down houses in return!

If we continue to be silent,

we're as good as dead.

Hey, stop it!

How dare you

burn our houses!

The Muslims burned

down that guy's house.

In retaliation, the Hindus threw

bottle bombs at their shops.

If they've gone to that extent,

spare no one and

arrest them all!

Sir, please. Please.

Let go! I didn't do anything.

Set up a check

post at the border.

No one goes in or

out of this village.

[in unison] Down

with police brutality!

The men are gone.

The police arrested everybody!

Sams is in critical

condition at the hospital.

People are saying

he won't survive.

How bad is his condition?

What's the use in

worrying about it now?

Your father and Bhai

grew up like brothers.

Their closeness deeply

touched the villagers.

You ruined everything

in a single day!

Pray that his condition improves.

If things start to

go south, nobody

can predict what will happen.

Hey! He's here.

He shouldn't get away!

[commotion ensues]

The nerve has been in a

severed condition

for far too long.

Operating on it is of no use.

The wire he fell on

was old and rusted, too.

It has gone septic.

What can be done

to save his hand?

We have to amputate

his arm to save his life.

Oh, no!

Sign this consent

form if you are okay.

We'll start the

surgery immediately.

Oh, no!

Vappa.

I've bought a new bat.

Can you sign it for me?

You are my lucky

charm, after all!

My dear, Samsu!

" Astaghfirullah!

Astaghfirullah! "

" Astaghfirullah!

Astaghfirullah! "

" Allah, you're the

reason for it all "

" In moments of despair

Our eyes brim with tears "

" Like a boat sailing

Without a stream "

" I dwell in deep sorrow! "

" Like cotton set on fire "

Do your best. Here.

Keep working hard.

Thank you, sir.

No, no. Good luck.

This is your

teacher's loving gift.

Wherever you are in life, you

should always wear this bracelet.

Never remove it.

" Oh dear Protector, answer

me! Oh my Creator, console me! "

Allah!

" Allah, you're the

reason for it all "

" Astaghfirullah!

Astaghfirullah! "

" In moments of despair

Our eyes brim with tears "

" Like a boat sailing

Without a stream "

Our Samsudeen has been

selected to play

for the Ranji Trophy!

Fatima, when a son starts

earning, his

parents will be proud.

But when he

achieves his dreams,

our whole country

will be proud.

He'll make our

country proud one day.

You go ahead and play.

Your dad is by your side.

Okay!

" What did we do to

anger you, dear Lord? "

" I never put on a fake face "

" I never touched

the poor's money "

" Why then, this pain,

This mark of strife? "

" Even at times of hardship "

" Grief fades in your love "

" If you are the affirmation "

" Burdens withdraw When

things come together "

" Allah, you're the

reason for it all "

" Astaghfirullah!

Astaghfirullah! "

" Astaghfirullah!

Astaghfirullah! "

If Bhai isn't willing to

compromise, we can't save Thiru.

What are you saying, sir?

Why don't you ask Thiru's

mother to persuade Bhai?

Things can change for the

better if Bhai changes his mind.

Brother…

Given my son's awful deed

I don't deserve to be here.

Even now,

I've only come to ask

if you can forgive

his heinous crime!

I'll bring him to you.

You can take his arm

to quench your anger.

But please let

him live, Brother!

I should be ashamed of

asking you to save him.

But I have no

other option.

As a mother, my

heart is in agony!

Brother!

Brother!

Brother…

The village that stood as an

example for

Hindu-Muslim brotherhood

now stands for

the exact opposite.

Both sides have been

affected and are

equally at fault.

Dealing with things legally

will be a hassle for everyone.

Many of those

arrested are youngsters.

This shouldn't

ruin their lives.

I feel compromising

is the best option.

What do you all think?

We are ready to compromise.

Ask Bhai's opinion on this.

Sir! You're advocating

for a compromise

while keeping

the culprit hidden?

Ask him to come!

You're talking as if

he's the only one at fault!

Your son was the

first to start the attack.

And you expect our

boy to stay quiet?

Of course, he'll hit back!

Collector sir. This

is our village issue.

We don't want outsiders

getting involved.

Bhai is powerful

and influential.

And these people aren't.

Who will stand up

for them if not me?

Bhai, what did you say?

Did you just say

it's your village?

If we had chased

you out long

back, we wouldn't

be facing this now.

How dare you!

Sit down! Silence! Silence!

-Sit down, please. -Silence!

Won't you listen?

You're here to make

peace, not start a war.

Please maintain silence.

Narayanasamy. You have no

idea what you are talking about.

Despite our religious differences

our forefathers sacrificed

their lives and got us freedom.

Pakistan was

established to provide

Muslims with their

independent nation.

Muslims who were

interested went to Pakistan.

This is our land.

We were born here.

We grew up here.

And we will die

on this land.

Our ancestors

made this land their

home with these

beliefs in their hearts.

We are Indians.

Indian Muslims!

No one has the right

to tell us to leave.

Don't you ever say that again!

If you keep

telling us to leave

we'll burn this place

down before we leave!

Where will you go after

burning the place down?

To Pakistan? To Afghanistan?

Wherever you go, you're an

Indian. That's your

identity. Sit down!

Hold your faith and

religion close to your heart.

But value humanity

above all.

That's what our

country stands for.

Collector sir.

My son didn't just lose

his arm. He lost his life!

And I was affected.

The law may treat the

offender and the victim equally.

But the punishment

can't be the same.

Produce the attacker

before the court.

Let the court decide who's

right and who's wrong.

He was raised by you, Bhai.

Please reconsider your decision.

Saamikannu,

we nurture the soil,

hoping for paddy.

But if it turns out

to be weeds, it

becomes our duty

to eliminate them.

We'll take leave, Collector.

Jai Hind!

What are we going to do, sir?

We gave them a

chance to compromise.

What can we do if they are

hell-bent on punishing him?

Sir, 256 individuals in total.

Can't the prison hold 256 people?

File an FIR and throw

them behind bars.

The court will

deal with the rest.

We have no other option. Let's

hand over Thiru to the police.

That's the only way

to ensure his safety.

I'll kill somebody

and get arrested.

Then, I'll take

down Thiru in prison.

He'll eventually get released.

Let him come out.

We'll handle him then.

Stay quiet for now. Take

them along, Alaudeen.

Oh God! Samsudeen!

-Dear, come -Oh God!

-Samsu! What happened? -Smasu!

-Samsu! -Come, dear.

Get him down! Come on!

Drink some water. Come on.

Thank God, you're okay.

God!

Hey!

What the hell

were you thinking?

Why are you being a coward?

Did you even think about us?

Did you lose your

life by losing an arm?

What did you say, Vappa?

Did I lose my life

by losing an arm?

Don't you think it's true?

I lost my life, Vappa.

The guy responsible for

this is in jail living happily!

I can't even do anything!

Why do I need to live?

Huh?

I'm unable to do anything!

I won't rest until

I get my revenge!

I won't!

You don't need to do anything.

I'll take care of him.

[Thiru] It wasn’t just Mani or

Maharajan behind that chaos.

I was just as responsible.

I lost control. If I

hadn’t been so drunk,

I wouldn’t have laid

a hand on Samsu.

If I’d been sober, the whole

fight wouldn’t have happened.

His son’s hurt,

and Bhai won’t stay silent.

This is where the

real trouble begins.

FEW MONTHS LATER -Raji.

In a few months,

all four villages will

meet here to discuss

the festival plans.

Work on the chariot

has officially started.

Stick around and

help them out.

Okay, Uncle.

Handle all the expenses for

repairing the

chariot in our name.

What are you saying?

Why do we need to pay?

Doesn't this chariot

belong to all four villages?

All four villages

share this chariot

to host the

festival, don’t they?

Why are we paying

the full amount?

Tell them to

contribute their part.

We’ve paid enough

already, enough is enough.

Just the repair alone

costs over 50 thousand.

We didn’t even spend

this much putting

up posters during

the last election.

Raji, why are

you getting mad?

Then?

The chariot expenses are

tied to the elections anyway.

Just like how we pay them for

votes, we're giving

them our chariot.

That’s the reason these

four villages are voting for us.

This chariot is the

reason my chairman

post has been

secure all these years.

If we make them

pay, they'll

claim the chariot

as theirs later.

As long as they

believe we’re giving the

chariot willingly,

they’ll stay on our side.

As long as the

chariot is in our

hands, we have

the upper hand.

We can't let go of that.

You’ve just secured the

MLA seat. Keep that in mind.

Inmate number 502!

Thirunavukarasu!

Son of Ponmanickavel!

They have granted your bail.

Come to the Jailor's room.

Welcome, Azharuddin!

How are you?

Were you the one

who bailed me out?

As your brother,

I've got your back.

I would have gotten

you out earlier.

But I had to stay

quiet for some time

because things in

the village got worse.

Thanks, brother.

Didn't the boys come?

I've sent them

to buy liquor.

How is my mother doing?

Thiru! She is alright…

but she's still mad at you.

I even called her to come

today. But she refused.

Dhanalakshmi wanted to come.

The villagers are

extremely upset with us.

Did you know they filed

cases against 250 individuals?

Ever since that incident,

Bhai's men

stopped talking to us.

-Our village is-

-Hey! Shut up now.

Thiru!

Give it some time! Things

will fall back into place.

Here. Drink up.

I'm good.

-Shall I drink it? -Hey!

He must have been craving

this for the last six months.

But he's refusing it?

Thiru! It's okay to drink

some. Come on! Gulp it down.

Go on, man!

Thiru!

I recommended

you for playing with

Kallakuruchi Best

11 as a guest player.

They agreed as well.

Play with them

for a while.

I'll make sure

you get paid alot.

It'll really help your family.

And playing cricket

might cheer you up.

No, brother.

I don't want to play.

Hey, even they

didn't approve at first.

It was very hard to persuade

them. But you are

denying the offer?

Listen to me.

Give it a shot.

Sorry, brother. I

don't wish to play.

Guys, let's go.

When did he get released, bhai?

I'm going to

visit my mother.

Okay. Come back quickly.

Mom!

Brother is here.

Get inside.

Mom!

Mom! Open the door!

Hey! How many

times should I call you?

Come, let's go!

Hey, Kavi…

How are you, brother?

Come, sit.

How are you doing, Kavi?

We are doing

fine. Eat this first.

Eat, I say!

Kavitha! Your mother is

looking for you.

Get home fast!

Brother! Eat up and send

the container.

I'll get going first.

Hey! Eat this, at least.

Be quiet, man.

Hey! When did he return?

What are you doing here

instead of going home?

He was chased out!

Where else will he go?

He doesn't want to

come to my house either!

Oh did you expect

them to prepare a

red-carpet welcome

after what you guys did?

Get home, first!

It's okay, I'll

sleep here.

Do you think it's safe

to sleep here when

you have enemies

lurking everywhere?

Okay, don't go

to your house.

I'll take you to

my place. Hop on!

Come, I say!

Come on, buddy. Let's go.

I was so furious

that I never

wanted to see you again!

What to do! I

don't have anyone

else to call my

son except you.

Serve him.

Here you go.

Hey! You need some

strength to fight, at least!

Go on! Dig in.

Your mother's anger

won't last long.

Go on, eat.

[phone rings]

Hello.

Bhai, that boy is out on bail.

When?

Morning only. Inform Bhai.

What's wrong?

Go back to sleep.

We have to wake

up early to fix a

date for the festival.

Go on!

Your Honor, the religious

dispute of Murarbad.

The next hearing is scheduled

for the 24th of next month.

-Okay, Your Honor. -Sir!

Sir, you've been postponing

it for six months now.

We're finding it difficult

to commute here as well.

You should've thought of

that before committing a crime.

It wasn't us but them, sir!

We weren't even

there when it happened.

Hey, Perumal… Keep quiet.

What is happening here, Arumugam?

Don't you instruct

them on court etiquette?

Sorry, Your Honor.

Mr. Siddique.

The accused is here. When

is the defendant not present?

It's…

The next hearing is on

the 24th of next month.

Okay, Your Honor.

Inform Moideen Bhai.

" Jalali… Jalali…

Jalali… Jalali… "

MOIDEEN BHAI - THE PAIN

It doesn't look like they're

seeking legal justice.

Ask him to stay cautious

over the next few days.

Oh, no. Thiru!

Take Appa away from here.

Go, get going!

Thiru!

Please don't!

" Jalali Jalal! "

Oh! Dear God!

Rani…

Bhai was the one behind this.

I'm sure my brother

wouldn't have done this.

I won't believe you.

The attackers themselves

admitted that Bhai sent them.

You call him your brother.

But he still sees

us as his enemies.

He's determined

to ruin our lives.

For our son's safety…

We've to file a

case against Bhai.

No, I won't file a

case against him.

My brother wouldn't

have done this.

Give way!

[phone rings]

Hello?

It's me… Rani. Is

my brother home?

Bhai, it's a call from Rani.

Tell her I'm not home.

If you really see

me as your brother,

you can ask me anything!

You have that right.

I won't ever step in

here if you refuse this.

Don't you ever

say that again!

Use the money to redeem

your jewels and wear them.

Make sure you're wearing your

mangalsutra whenever

I see you, alright?

Forgive me for the wrong timing.

But this house

belongs to a Muslim.

You can't have songs playing

or conduct rituals your way.

You can either do it

quietly or in your area.

The house isn't in the

village but in a secluded area.

So what is the issue?

No matter what it is, it's

still inside a Muslim home.

Inform them to stop.

Why take out your

anger on the father

when you're upset

with his son?

Hey, stop the music.

I said, stop!

Stop the music.

Uncle, what… what's the issue?

I'll handle it.

Continue playing. What is it?

No, it's--

I'll take care of it.

I said continue!

There isn't an issue.

What did he say? You!

Hey, you! What the

heck did you say?

Listen to me.

I warned you not to

have any ties with Bhai.

You keep quiet.

I'll sort this out.

But you never listened!

Hey, take him away!

How dare you try to

chase us out of here!

Shut up!

Your Bhai is no

one without my dad!

Don't leave out words.

Dear…

They're asking us not to

perform our rituals over here.

Let's take him to

my place and do it.

Let my brother come.

We’ll decide what to do then.

Brother!

He seemed fine

while going to bed.

But he never woke up,

brother! He abandoned us all!

You said you'd

visit me only

if I had my mangalsutra on.

Look what has happened now!

Look at him!

Wake him up, brother!

Ask him to wake up!

Bhai!

We'll take Ponmanickam

to my place.

Why? For what?

They're asking us not to

perform our rituals here.

I'm sure everyone is aware of

the bond Manickam

and I shared.

Manickam lived

and died here.

According to me,

this is his house.

And the rituals will take place

according to their customs.

Those who wish to stay, can.

Those who don't, can leave.

Sister?

Conduct the rituals

according to your ways.

Let me see who

will dare to oppose.

Kavi and Thiru are my kids.

No matter what, you

can always count on me.

Don't forget that.

They refuse to file a complaint

against Bhai at the

local police station.

Let's go to the SP's office.

Hey!

He attcked Bhai's son.

In retaliation,

Bhai attacked him.

Why should we

get involved in this?

If you didn't care, why

did you come here?

Our boy made a

mistake. I don't deny that.

That doesn't mean we

can let someone kill him.

What are we all here for?

If they're attacking in broad

daylight, right in

front of the court,

how is our safety guaranteed?

And they want us

to resolve in peace!

They refuse to

file an FIR against

Bhai at the local

police station

Leave it to me.

I'll deal with this.

A complaint?!

The villagers want me

to file a case against Bhai.

They're threatening to

take it to the

roads if not, sir.

Why would you do it

in front of the court?

It'll become a law and order

issue if I don't file an FIR.

Get a written complaint from

them. But don't file an FIR.

The ongoing case

hasn't been resolved yet.

If you get another court case,

the enmity between

you two will only grow.

Do you think we love shuttling

between the court

and our home, sir?

We need to ensure

his safety, sir.

I can get it in writing from

the accused if you'd like.

If any problem arises,

I'll arrest Bhai on

those grounds, okay?

Please don't stir up

another fight and disperse.

Thank you, sir.

Mom, I’m okay, right?

Why are you crying now?

The police said they’ll

handle it, didn’t they?

Come inside.

Kavi.

Kavi…

Didn't you eat?

-No. -Come on. Let's eat.

Mom hasn’t eaten

anything since morning.

Mom, come on. Let's eat.

-Just come in-- -Don’t touch me!

See for yourself.

From now on,

I won’t drink,

won’t hit anyone,

and I'm not playing

cricket again.

I promise.

Happy?

How can I eat

when you're crying?

Won't my food taste

salty with your tears?

I want to see

if you'll become

responsible at least then.

Don't yell at me

during dinner.

Serve me some curry.

Thiru…

Enough is enough.

Change your behavior and

start working from now on.

Earn some money.

We must make her

study further

and get her

married as well.

If you roam around

like a wastrel…

how will we

manage it all?

Forget us.

Do it for the villagers

who supported you.

You must reform,

at least for them.

Once the festival is over,

I'll look for a job.

Sounds good?

Samikannu kept saying that

your good times will

begin after the festival ends.

Before you leave town,

carry the milk

offering to the temple.

The police said they’ll

safeguard us from bhai’s issues.

Even I said I’d find a

job for the very first time.

My mom's face

looked so joyful.

In my life,

this is an entirely new chapter.

And that new chapter

began with the festival.

Uncle, why do we

have to borrow the

chariot from them

to host the festival?

It doesn’t belong solely

to them, like you think.

Three generations ago, Zamin had

this chariot built

for the five villages.

He entrusted its care to the

chairman’s grandfather, Ramasamy.

He was a truly noble man.

He treated us like brothers.

Not like them, claiming the

chariot belongs only to them.

We can’t argue

with them over this.

We just have to

appreciate that at least

they’re still following

the tradition.

-All of you wait there. -Why?

He may cause trouble if you

come along. So stay over here.

It's only been six

months. He'll remember

how you thrashed

him if he sees you.

I will fix four dates

for the four villages.

Choose the date

that works best for you

and conduct the chariot

procession accordingly.

Sir, it doesn't

matter what we think.

Your decision is final.

Fix a date for each village,

and we'll make the necessary

arrangements. Am I right?

The 4th day of Chithirai

month (April 17) for Murarbad.

So be it, sir.

The 9th (April 22)

for Sholavandan.

Thank you, sir.

The 13th (April 26) for Alandur.

And the 22nd (May

5) for Nedumanur.

Thank you.

Didn't you mention that we'd stop

providing our chariot

to Murarbad people?

Yet you've given

them the first date!

Elections will happen

in six months, Raji.

And we need their votes.

Do we really need

their votes to win?

We don't need them.

I'll get Bhai's men to

cast their votes for us.

Jaffar's men will

stand by us, Uncle.

Raji…

Those who desire wealth and

authority must

control their temper.

You are the sole male

successor for all I have.

After my time, it’s

your responsibility

to build and

maintain my legacy.

We have to do certain

things, whether

we like it or not.

Tea…

Here's your tea, bro.

We've come here anyway.

Let's visit Dhanalakshmi.

It's been six months

since I last saw her.

It's time for her to

leave for college.

You're going to

see her after so long.

Why don't you dress

up in pants and shirt?

Oh my!

So, you are here

to fix your marriage

date and not for

the festival. Selfish!

Here comes your

Ponds Jasmine aroma!

Hey, Jailbird! Turn around.

Your lovebird's coming!

Her look is scary.

He's dead meat!

-Move. -Hey!

How are you?

Maintain distance, buddy!

She might slap you!

Why do you care?

Forgive me this once.

I swear, I'll be on my

best behavior from now.

Your words are

written on water.

I swear on you.

Don't you dare

touch me. Get lost!

How can I trust you?

I cannot live

my entire life

fearing when you'll

get into trouble.

I can't keep shuttling

between court and

police station for a

scoundrel like you.

What's your final decision?

What? How dare

you raise your voice!

Limit your threatening

with your mom.

If you even try it on

me, I'll break your bones.

Get lost! Good for nothing!

I said get lost.

The temple cleaning

is about to begin.

We request that one person from

each household

come to the temple.

Buddy! Is wiping your face with

wet underwear

really a fix for acne?

Yes, it is! But use

yours for that, man.

This is mine!

No wonder it smelled like a

dead rat! Get

that away from me.

I bought this when I got married.

Eww!

Hey, Thiru!

Come here, son! I have been

waiting for you for so long.

What for?

I need to write a letter.

What, Grandpa?

Are you in love

with somebody?

Need a hand with the love

letter? Buddy,

write him one.

But I'll only write in

English. I'm poor at Tamil.

As if your dad is British!

Don't you think I'm

too old to be dating?

Do you think all lovers

do is exchange letters?

Then, how do you

express your love?

I'll take her straight

to the cane field!

Watch it, oldie!

Oldie?!

I'm still a young chap, man!

Is that why you are

still flirting with Kuyila?

Shut up, you idiot!

Write a letter to

my son saying that,

we have a sacred

pledge to our deity.

Ask him to bring the

kids to the festival.

Why are you

bothering busy folks to

attend festivals

and other customs?

You can carry out

the rituals if you like!

Will the deity get angry

if we don't worship her?

Or will she stop showering

us with her blessings?

You know, our festivals

aren't just for worshipping.

They're truly about treasuring

moments with our family.

Whether you pray to her

or not, she remains our God.

Whether you seek

her guidance or not

she'll keep bestowing

her blessings upon you.

Whether or not we worship,

God will still provide, right?

Then, why spend so much

on celebrating the festival?

Do you think organizing

a grand festival

and doing the Chariot

procession is for God?

It is for us to celebrate.

Look here, Thiru…

Doesn't someone who

labors tirelessly all year

deserve at least two days off

to happily spend time with

his family and loved ones?

That's why we host this festival.

You young lads will

never understand!

No one takes the

time to check in on me

or bothers to show

concern about how I'm doing.

Only the ones like me

who feel abandoned…

…know the true value

of a family gathering.

It's only on those

two festival days

I get to be with my

son and grandchildren.

I hold on to life,

expecting those two days.

[in unison] Mariyamma…!

Hey, get started

with the work soon.

I promised to wind

it up by evening.

Hey, you.

-Come here! -Yes, bhai.

Why did you bring him here?

There was no one to help,

and you wanted

it done by noon.

What else could I do?

If my people come to

know, it’ll be a problem.

Tell him to leave right away.

Bhai, we’ve started the work.

I’ll definitely switch

the shift by noon.

Hey, Mubarak!

Why are you petting a snake?

Why is he here?!

Don’t you know our rules?

I've informed them, Bhai.

Please don’t be upset, Bhai.

I brought him here, and I’ll

personally ask him to leave.

Thiru, just leave.

Your presence

always causes problems.

What, Rani?

Looks like you've already

started making festive sweets!

I'll send some to

you in the evening.

Come on, boys. Let's

go to Kallakurichi.

What for?

The festival is just

around the corner, right?

My grandchildren

are coming! So, I

want to buy them

some new clothes.

My grandchildren

are coming, right?

That's why I've come

here to grind batter for idli.

Okay, give it to me.

It's alright, son.

I'll grind yours. Give it to me.

Mom, give me five rupees.

What for?

A Tirupur Textile

company is hiring.

I want to apply for a job there.

What was that? You

are planning to work?

Yes, I swear.

Oh, Goddess!

Help us all prosper!

Do the sacred offering

before you leave. Okay?

Go on.

I'm going to work at the

Tirupur textile company.

Work?! When?

-After the festival. -I see!

I have talked to

my mom about us.

She said she'll talk about it

once I complete my studies.

You told your mom?!

Yes.

-She accepted? -Yes!

What about your dad?

My mom will take care of him.

Hey other girl, I got

a job too. Look at me!

Are you coming

back from college?

Yes, Uncle.

You're done for the day?

Yes.

Drop out of your college.

You've had

enough education.

You're getting

married this Friday.

The groom is fixed.

Make sure she

doesn't step outside.

Okay.

How dare you pursue

one of my relatives?

What's with the glare?

Thrash him, boys!

Hey, if you're planning to pull

over, you have to

put the brake here.

Son, what happened

to your face?

Mom, I fell off the cycle.

You can’t stay put

for a single minute.

Hey, you?

Where is your son?

What happened, sir?

He’s inside, resting.

Does your son

ever stay put?

Yes, sir. He fell

off the cycle.

He fell off the cycle?!

Do you have any

idea what your son did?

What did he do?

I begged and urged

him to control his temper.

Relax. Nothing will happen.

He just brushed off

those pleas! Sir… Hello, sir.

Hey! How foolish can you be?

You always end up

getting involved in fights!

The one you beat up

has fractured his bones

and is getting

treated in the hospital.

The Chairman has filed a case.

Look! I have no other option

but to file an FIR

and remand you.

Sir, don't arrest him.

Please don't file a

case against him.

Hey! The higher officials are

pressurizing me

to get him arrested!

I'll file a case and

take him to court.

I'll file a case and

take him to court.

Why do you keep

fighting with him?

No need to file a case.

-I'll take care of him. -Raji…

To lay hands on us, he

must either be equal to us

or, he must be above us.

You think of that wastrel

as your competition?

If you toss a stone

into the sewage,

we'll only get

spattered by its filth.

I said I'd take care

of him, didn't I?

Let it go.

Thiru, he's still

in the hospital.

Those guys refused

to give us the chariot.

They gave us only

after a lot of begging.

Kathirvel uncle

says it’s best if you

stay behind bars

until the festival’s over.

" Join the Kulavai In praise

of our Goddess divine! "

" Hurry, let's do

it right away! "

Wear these glasses on Her!

No, dear.

-It's wrong- -No,

it's not, Saamikannu.

She's our deity

It's the kid's wish!

-Go ahead! -You think so?

Okay, then!

Give it to him, dear!

Here! Wear it on Her.

I've been looking

everywhere for you.

Where is your ration card?

At home, brother.

Bring it. We need to

take Thiru out on bail.

Appa … Appa!

Come and see what's happening.

You! Where are you

taking the chariot?

I don't need to

answer anybody.

This chariot belongs to us.

You won't get it anymore.

Hey! It’s unfair to

punish the whole

village for the

actions of one man!

How are we responsible

for what he did?

Hey… move! Move!

Stop it! Stop!

Hey! Didn't we fix the date

after discussing it with you?

If you go back

on your words at

the last minute,

what can we do?

Behaving this way during

a festival is a bad omen.

It isn't good

for the village.

Brother…

You hit him first, and

he thrashed you back.

You got him arrested for that.

Now, why are you

unnecessarily making a scene?

This chariot is indeed from

your village. But

you don’t own it.

Call an elderly person

from your village.

-We'll talk. -Go ahead!

Hey, you! Stop it! Get lost!

Listen up! You better

leave right away!

Once the festival is over,

we'll bring it to your place.

We won't ask for your chariot

for the upcoming festivals.

We'll build our own

chariot and host the festival.

Leave now!

-Get lost! -How dare you!

How heartless!

Is there no one to put

an end to this atrocity?

How dare you disrespect me!

Velu…

Let him take the chariot.

Doesn't matter.

What is with you

people? What?

This is my village's chariot.

And it belongs to me.

I hold the power to choose

who receives

and who doesn't!

Beggars like you

shouldn't talk this much!

And you, what

did you say?

That you'll build

your own chariot?

Hey!

Do you even have the money

to buy the rope

for the chariot?

You wretched beggars!

Pathetic people

acting like big shots!

Go ahead! Tie it.

" Oh Goddess, with so many eyes

Yet she turned blind

" Won't the beloved rain pour

down, Our dearest Muthu Maari? "

" Is there no end

to our suffering? "

" Won't the beloved rain pour

down, Our dearest Muthu Maari? "

" Is there no end

to our poverty? "

" Like the vast boundless

sky Our agony lingers on "

" Endless sorrow dwells

In our wounded hearts "

Go and get ready!

It's time for our bus.

They killed a good soul!

Those morons!

They are turning this

village into a graveyard!

Please, listen to me. Let's

go to Michael brother's place.

Get lost! I'll slash

you if you step inside!

How dare you face us

after everything you’ve done!

You're still not done?

Because of you, all the villagers

are dealing with court cases!

This festival was our

only ray of happiness.

You ruined that as well!

You've already

wrecked everything,

and still wish

to destroy more?

If you had a father, he'd

have strictly raised you.

You were raised

by a woman, right?

That's why you turned

out to be a wastrel!

Hey! Kick him out!

He has the audacity

to fight back?

Let him go! Stop it!

Wait. Listen.

Hey, don't you

dare lay your hand!

-Look at him! Bash him! -Appa!

Appa! Come here.

They're thrashing us!

Oh my, Thiru!

Kathirvel Appa! Kathirvel Appa!

Brother! Brother…

Hey! Move! Let him go.

Move, let him go!

Let go of him! Hey!

Why the hell did

you come here?

Who are you going

to kill next?

I should have

died long ago for

the sin of bringing

you into this world!

I deserve this disrespect for

giving birth to

a loafer like you.

Hey, either you stay here

or I do.

Hey, get lost!

Get out of here!

I'll be happy when I get

the news of your demise.

Get lost!

Don't you ever

come back!

I hope you die!

Just die!

The entire village beat him

up and ousted him, Bhai.

Hey, I told you to come here

directly. Why

did you go there?

They're already pissed with

you. Why did you go there?

Hey, Thiru. Thiru?

Hey, why are you crying?

Don't be such a baby.

Hey, there's no point

in crying about it now.

Think about how

you're going to fix it.

Don't--

I'm thinking of

leaving this village.

You can't go anywhere.

You're on conditional

bail. Keep that in mind.

Thiru, listen.

Everyone makes

mistakes in life.

I was worse when

I was your age.

I was a drunkard. A

womanizer, a gambler…

I didn't leave out anything.

No one respected me.

I ran to Bombay in a rage.

I worked in a harbor.

I was raking in

money like crazy.

I came back and

bought a land for myself.

Today, I'm given

importance here.

You see, it

doesn't matter

how you start your life.

It's all about finishing strong.

It's not too late.

You are still young.

Prove your worth

to the very

village that chased you away.

The festival stopped

because of you.

Get a new

chariot and lead

the festival in that village.

You know it's not that

simple to build a chariot.

It takes a lot of money.

How am I supposed to

make that much money?

Why can't you?

You roamed around seeking

donations for cricket

tournaments, right?

You were literally

begging everyone.

Do the same.

Pay the advance for the

chariot from that money.

Ask for the villagers' money.

Gather them all. You

organize the festival.

I know it is not easy.

Without toil, we won't

get anything here.

What do you want

me to do now?

I want you to try.

We're building a

chariot for the temple.

Please contribute

whatever you can.

A bunch of wastrels trying

to make it big. Get lost!

Is this your new technique to

scam us all? Get out of here.

Here they are to loot us!

Right! Just give it all away.

Are you trying to cheat us?

Money? For food

or for your lawyer?

Look at them lying

through their teeth!

Why are you fraudsters here?

We've changed.

Yeah, right, like you

can straighten a dog's tail.

If you don't believe

us, see for yourself.

We've decided to get

a chariot for our village.

Contribute whatever

you can, Appa.

They're here to scam us!

Why? You ran out

of money for booze?

I don't have a penny.

Get out of my sight.

We don't want

your money.

You have the villagers'

money, right? Give that to us.

It's not my money

to hand over.

It's the villagers' money. I

can't just give it to scoundrels.

Look at their audacity. Morons!

We swear it's

for the chariot.

If you donate, everyone

will come forward.

If you have even a shred of

shame or honor

in your bodies,

never set foot in

my house again.

Get lost!

To hell with your chariot.

Get out of my house.

-Get lost! -Get out!

Wastrels! Get out of here.

Even after all the advice,

you're sitting here drinking?

All these days, you

were nothing but a cheat.

How can you

expect people to

suddenly trust you

with their money?

It's no wonder

they don't trust you.

Look. If you want

to gain their trust,

let the first donation

be from your pocket.

From my pocket?

With my job prospects, even

if it takes another two decades

we'll never see a chariot.

You still can make it

happen without a job.

You--

Stop yapping like a mad man.

I'm not fit for anything.

I know about myself.

I don't think you do, Thiru.

That's why you're

struggling like this.

I'm telling you.

You can make lakhs, maybe

even more. You've

got what it takes.

What should I

do? Should I steal?

No need for that.

You just have to play again.

-Hey, stop. -Buddy, listen.

Stop right there.

How can you ask me to play?

I swear on my life, I'll

never touch a bat again.

You know everything

that happened, right?

Hey,

don't keep dwelling in the

past and lose your future.

Look!

Don't you want to get back at

the people who

chased you away?

When they shamed your mom,

saying you became a wastrel

because of her upbringing

you remember how

humiliated she was, don't you?

Don't you want

your mother to

boast about the

son she raised

in front of everyone

who shamed her?

What about Kathirvel who was

humiliated for

no fault of his?

We need to do

something for him.

And the guy

who humiliated us

by saying we're too

poor to even buy a

rope for the chariot…

You'll build

your own chariot?

These wretched beggars!

Tie the chariot!

We need to show

him who we are!

The trust others

have in us is more

valuable than our

trust in ourselves.

That can't be won easily.

You need to earn that.

You see, it doesn't matter

how you start your life.

It's all about finishing strong.

I've said what

needs to be said.

Now, the ball is in your court.

" Rise with all your might! "

" Burn like a wildfire! "

A FIGHT TO BREAK FREE FROM

HATRED, CURSE, PAIN, REVENGE

" Rise with all your might! "

" With all your vigor! "

" Burn like a wildfire! "

" With all your rage! "

" March onto the pitch "

" With eyes fixed on victory "

" That's you! Look

who rules the ground! "

" The game is

yours! Bag the cup! "

" Leap over every

obstacle in your way! "

" Work towards

victory relentlessly! "

Are you too broke

to buy liquor?

If you had worked

a day in your life

you would've realized

the true value of money.

" The hungry bull Now

roars with fiery rage "

" It's ready to march into battle

Defending its village's honor "

-Here you go. -No.

Why?

" We'll witness the

world chanting his name! "

I've drank enough.

" He's brimming with

dreams and hopes "

You played really well!

This is just my token of love.

Please play a match

in our village next year.

-Okay? -Here.

Sell this and get cash.

Somehow, I became

one of the reasons

for the chariot festival

being called off.

It's okay if you don't

love me anymore.

Take this as my

contribution to the chariot.

Just doing my part.

Study well and

land a good job.

If your father agrees,

we can take things further.

Come in.

You don't need to be scared.

Hey! How many

times should I tell you?

You can't be trusted

with the village's money.

Do you think building a

chariot is a piece of cake?

He wasn't wrong.

Listen up!

We can't even buy the rope

for the chariot with our money.

How can you trust

these wastrels' words?

Please leave.

We are not asking for your

money. We'll take

care of that.

Give him the advance.

Hey! Give it to him.

How did you get

all this money?

I earned it.

I earned that

through playing.

You don't need to chip in at

all. I'll handle

all the expenses.

We just need your

presence to lead the way.

Didn't he insult you?

You must organize

the festival grandly

and gleam with

pride in front of him!

I should witness that!

Hand over the plate.

Hang on a second.

Come inside.

Come on in.

Does anybody have

one rupee on you?

When will you finish

building the chariot?

It'll take six months.

It should be at

least a foot taller

than Sankarapuram's chariot.

Don't bother about the expense.

Okay.

Fix a date for the

festival right away.

Once our chariot is

ready, we can fix the date.

Let them work on

building the chariot.

First, fix a date for the

festival. Rest assured.

Fix a target. Only

then can we chase it.

We never lose

while chasing!

" Rise above every

challenge and come forward! "

" Come on! Break the barriers! "

" As long as you

embrace your true self

No force can hinder

your path to victory "

Build your story, step by step

Turn the walls into your map!

I'm beyond proud.

You've brought us honor, my son.

" The hungry bull Now

roars with fiery rage "

" It's ready to march into battle

Defending its village's honor "

" He's on track to bring

glory to his homeland! "

" The world will

chant his name! "

Sir, how tall is the chariot?

It's 36 feet tall.

It's 3 feet taller than the

Sankarapuram chariot.

Awesome!

Sir, we are almost

done with the work.

We can finish it soon

if you pay the rest.

Don't worry about the money.

Just focus on

completing the chariot.

" Rise with all your might! "

" With all your vigor! "

" Burn like a wildfire! "

" With all your rage! "

" March onto the pitch "

" With eyes fixed on victory "

" That's you! Look

who rules the ground! "

They won't be

under our control

if they have

their own chariot.

If we do nothing,

he'll bring in

his own chariot.

Bring the men from Madurai.

We shouldn't let him live.

Okay.

There's half of

the amount in here.

We'll pay you the

rest in three months.

They are struggling so much

to come up with the money.

We'll be beyond

embarrassed if the

festival doesn't

happen on that date.

-If you help us-- -Kathirvel.

Don't take me wrong. I

neither borrow

nor lend money.

Pay the full amount, and

the chariot is all yours!

We have used up all the

donations and the village money.

How do we come up with

one lakh rupees in a month?

Sir! Didn't I warn

you about this earlier?

Who would risk it with

the undependable?

Can I say something?

Don't we have our people

living in Bombay

and Bangalore?

Why don't we ask

them to donate?

As if!

Yes, Michael lives in Bombay,

right? He called

me when he left.

Do one thing.

Go to Bangalore.

Take Bombay off the

list. Those boys live there.

It might stir up some trouble.

His behavior scares me.

He's locked up inside.

He's super mad all the time.

I'm worried sick, dear.

Why are you sitting

here all alone?

You can go out and

get some fresh air.

I… I hate going out!

I… I am a loser.

Stop it! Don't

use that word.

Come. Let's play chess.

No, Vappa. I don't

feel like playing.

I want to play. Come!

Samsu.

Your goal of being

a cricket champion is

something we all

wished for, not just you.

When you lost your arm, we

were all terribly heartbroken.

It's been more than six months

since laughter

echoed in this house.

If you keep worrying about

the past, you'll

lose your future.

Why don't you look for a job?

If you get busy with

work, you'll be at peace.

You can take care

of our business.

Or explore other opportunities

in your favorite sport, cricket!

Commentator, or a coach,

or, why don't you start

an academy instead?

You'll have my support

in whatever you do.

Don't lose all hope

because you lost your arm.

In a game of chess,

as long as you have

faith, you can win

with pawns even if

you lose your queen.

Whatever happens, just say

Inshaallah and place

your faith in Him.

Why does no one

understand me, Mom?

It's easy for

anyone to advise.

But only I know the

pain of losing an arm.

What matters

more is not what

was lost, but

how it was lost.

The pain becomes

unbearable when

someone looks at

me with sympathy.

He is forever etched in

my mind through this scar.

I see his face

every day in the

mirror whenever I look at myself.

I can see him smirking at me.

I have to do something to him

before the shame

swallows me whole.

Either he must do

something or let me do it.

Please refrain from consoling

or offering me advice.

It only adds to the pain.

Why did you come here?

Is this the right

time to be here?

As if we came here

to roam around!

There's only a week

left for the festival.

We couldn't gather

any funds in Bangalore.

We came here hoping

you could help us out…

Why's this lady going

out with a long face?

Brother? Who is that?

Is that your Bombay girlfriend?

Nonsense! She lives upstairs.

Then why is she

leaving from your place?

Hey! The three houses

share the same entrance.

This is Bombay.

That's how things work!

Are the bedrooms separate,

or do you share that too?

Balu! Now is not

the time for jokes.

Do you know

what will happen

if Bhai learns

that you're here?

We're aware of the consequences.

We won't leave until we've

collected funds for the festival.

Will you help us

gather the funds or not?

Shut up! I don't

know whether to

be proud of you

or worry about you.

I'll arrange the money. You

better not leave this place.

Why?

What do you take

Moideen Bhai for?

Do you see him

as a noble person,

who diligently prays five times

a day and preaches peace?

He's a different

person in Bombay.

Moideen Bhai

broke a man's arm

just because he

mildly hurt his son.

If he learns you are here,

your lives will

be in danger.

Thiru… Don't stay here.

I have a place for you.

Let the boys be with me.

I'll arrange for the money.

" The hungry bull Now

roars with fiery rage "

" It's ready to march into battle

Defending its village's honor "

" He's on track to bring

glory to his homeland! "

" We'll witness the

world chanting his name! "

" Rise above every

challenge and come forward! "

" Rise above every

challenge and come forward! "

They're in Bombay?

Didn't they plan

to go to Bangalore?

Where are they staying?

I warned you so many

times! Did you ever listen?

I'll talk to you later.

They'll listen

to us only when

we have something

they want.

One who relies on himself

will never listen to anyone!

They've built a chariot

just like they challenged!

Until yesterday, we were given

the utmost respect

in their village.

But now, they don't even

need us to host

the festival.

Never in a million years

will they vote for us.

It's all because

of you. Get lost!

Nothing will happen, Uncle.

I'll take care of them.

They'll come back to us.

For what?

To plead them to

vote for us again?

Stop dreaming, you moron!

If you keep

behaving this way, I'll

be the one who'll

stand in humiliation.

Get out!

Balu, are you

sure we'll get funds

here or shall I ask

Mani to arrange?

Oh, keep quiet. He won't

be of much help for us.

Did he ever

help us when we

decided to play

for ourselves?

He’s not as good

as we think he is.

Thiru, I've hid something

from you for this long.

You didn't hit

a six that day.

That boy's leg didn't

touch the boundary line.

Your wicket was actually out.

I don't know why

Mani lied then.

Are you for real?

Even I chimed in to help

us win and to

see them lose.

This very fact has been

bugging me ever since.

[landline ringing]

-Hello? -Samsu…

-This is Maharaj. -Yes, brother.

Your dad isn't

entirely on your side.

We sent goons from

Madurai to kill Thiru.

But do you know who was there?

He threatened us and told

us not to say he was there.

The one who chopped

your son's arm is inside, Bhai.

He isn't just your

enemy, but mine as well.

Narayanasamy! This is my family

problem. I know

how to resolve it.

Thiru is like my son.

If you ever lay

hands on him…

I'll bury you all alive.

They are in Bombay now.

Mom!

Samsu! What's wrong?

Why are you

behaving like this?

Am I his only son,

or does he have another son?

What are you blabbering?

Didn't you all

backstab me by

saying you'll take

care of everything?

I heard he said that

Thiru is like his son.

-Hey! He has his

reasons- -Mom! Shut up!

You continue to trust him.

But I'll never trust him again.

I had my suspicions.

He'd have killed him

long back if he wanted to.

But I just learned the truth.

Mom! Find out who

Thiru's real father is.

-Samsu! -Slap me, Mom!

Slap me all you want!

Losing my arm isn't

severe enough for you.

Losing my life isn't

a big deal for you.

You're more concerned

about saving him, aren't you?

I'll take care of him.

I'll get my revenge.

Whoever comes

forward to support him…

Even if he stands in my way…

I'll see him as my enemy.

Tell him this.

Go, Mom!

-Go. -Hey! Samsu!

You can take his arm

to quench your anger.

But please let him live, brother!

Thiru is out on bail, Bhai.

Take him down at the court.

Samsu won't stay quiet if he

learns we didn't

do anything to Thiru.

Send our men.

Tell them to attack

him when he's in court.

The police will arrest

them. Tell our men

to confess that I had

asked them to do it.

Samsu must believe

that I tried killing Thiru.

You stay put.

I'll take care of him.

But Thiru should be safe.

Be careful!

They have hidden

him inside the

temple. I'll thrash

him and bring him now.

Don't do anything

heinous inside the temple.

Be quiet until the Peace

Committee gets over.

Produce him to the court.

Let the court

give the judgment.

Our son lost his arm, Bhai.

Whose son is Thiru,

Krishnamoorthy?

We raised him.

When both of my

sons are fighting,

what do you expect

me to do as a father?

Leave.

Thiru, we've

collected enough cash.

I'll give you my share and

you can conduct it grandly.

I've booked your night train home

for tomorrow. Let's

leave from here.

I want to meet

Bhai and ask

for his forgiveness

before I leave.

Are you for real right now?

He sent his men to

slash you at court.

You don't know

what happened.

If they were sent by him,

I would've died long ago.

But they barely scratched me.

Thinking back, he’s

only been good to me.

It was I who

misunderstood him.

I've always

wronged him.

I appreciate you wanting

to ask his forgiveness.

But this isn't the

place or time for it.

First, get back home

and finish the chariot.

Then, you can gather a few

townsfolk and ask

for his forgiveness.

Your life won't be in

danger with them around.

I ruined Samsu's life.

Where did you see them?

This way.

Come fast! They know

that you guys are here.

They have come

here for you.

Take Balu and go to

your home, Venkatesh.

Come to the godown tomorrow.

Yes, brother. Stay safe.

Come.

Thiru! I'll bring our men.

Our truck is leaving for Salem

tomorrow. I'll send

you all in that truck.

They won't open

their shops tomorrow.

This is their place. They

definitely won't search here.

Lock the door.

Keep the money safe.

You take care, brother.

[news on radio] A

fight broke out between

two groups at the

protest in Andheri.

Today commemorates the

first anniversary

of the incident.

Tense conditions persist

in many parts of Mumbai.

Your child will recover

soon. Allah will take care.

[in Hindi] Are you a Muslim?

Why do you care?

Hey…

Hey…

Hey, Samsu!

Hey!

Come with me!

Careful!

Come at us now!

[in Hindi] Moideen isn't just

interfering in your business.

He's hit my brother too.

I'll teach him a

lesson he won't forget.

Whoa, whoa!

Go, man!

I said, go!

Hey!

Hey! Stop it!

[fiery rap plays]

" Strike it down,

no matter how tall "

" Even if skies

break, evil will fall "

" Hatred burns and vengeance

roars, Humanity

always finds a way "

Can you differentiate

your blood from mine?

That's impossible, right?

Our religions may vary.

But it's the same blood

that runs through all of us.

We must treat one

another like brothers.

And not engage

in brutal battles.

I came here to

save my sons.

I could have ended

you all long ago!

Before I talk to

anyone, I greet

them with Assalamualaikum.

It translates to

"Peace be upon you."

Walaikumassalam is

what they respond with.

That translates to "Let

peace be upon you, too."

Assalamualaikum, Vinayak bhai.

Nothing to worry about,

Thiru. You'll get better soon.

Please don't stress about

the money or the chariot.

I've made all the arrangements.

The festival will

definitely happen.

And we are

absolutely going!

Oh God!

What more do I have

to see in this life?

Why must this cursed

fate come upon us?

Will we never see our

chariot at the festival?

We can't stay

patient any longer.

How dare he burn

our chariot?

Let's set both his house

and their chariot on fire!

With no regard for God,

they've burned it down.

You think he'll respect us?

Are you joining us, or

should we go without you?

People! Please be patient.

No! You always keep

bowing down to them.

I'm so enraged! I want to

kill him and

drink his blood!

But please, let's not do

that. You all are youngsters.

You must study well

and land a good job.

You must provide for your

family. They are relying on you.

Please don't let court

battles ruin your lives.

Only when you

rise up can

your parents live

an honorable life.

Sons! Guys! Let's

go to the police!

We'll file a complaint.

Won't the court

help us get justice?

The court will only serve justice

to the powerful

and the privileged.

We must fight for our justice!

That's right.

The court isn't the problem.

But the people in it.

Won't a righteous man serve as

a judge and ensure

justice for us?

Even if the court fails us…

Even if the law fails us…

Will our deity Goddess

Maariyaatha abandon us?

Won't she understand

the misery in our hearts?

Will she turn a blind eye to

our never-ending suffering?

Won't she hear

our agonized cries?

If our Goddess truly

wields great power,

she will surely ensure justice,

even if she's built of stone!

She will ensure justice!

She'll answer our plea!

I swear! She'll definitely

answer our plea!

Are you asleep, Uncle?

Do you think you

can mouth off

just because I am

your son-in-law?

Hey! Even my dad

is as wealthy as you.

I've stood by you

through everything!

And this is how

I get treated.

And what did you call

me again? Yes! A moron!

The Murarbad folks are at each

other's throats because of me!

And who blew up the issue

by chopping Samsu's arm off?

Me again!

You said no one can touch

them with Bhai

on their side, right?

I managed to make

everyone in town oppose him!

And now I'm here after

setting their chariot on fire!

What? You burned their chariot?

That's right.

Bold of them to

challenge me and

make a new chariot

for themselves.

They can't participate tomorrow

nor will they

ever dream to do!

You know why

I'm telling you this?

I'm the only proof of

everything I did. Just me.

And you call me a fool!

I've done so much for you.

All of this was

for you to win.

What are you saying?!

You were the one behind all this?

You horrible person!

Oh, God! You sinner!

Yes!

I did everything.

Hey, you cut off a man's arms!

You burnt the

village deity's chariot!

What else have you done?

Hey…

God knows why…

I lost my baby

prematurely. Twice.

But I want this baby

to be born healthy.

You better confess

and turn yourself in. Go!

One has to pay for

their damn mistakes!

Listen to me. You need not

rake in money for my baby.

Let it please be

born without sin.

That's all I ask for.

I'm calling the police.

Hey…

Keep quiet!

Might as well slander

us in front of everyone.

Shut up, Dad!

A righteous life is more

important than your honor.

It's okay if we can't

make someone happy.

But we should never be

the cause of someone's tears.

Go, now.

Confess and turn in.

Else, I'll stab

myself and end it all.

-Get the knife. -Durga…

Turn yourself in now.

Leave it.

What happened?

Kathirvel?

I sent you the money for the

chariot and the festival, right?

Why the long faces with

the festival tomorrow?

It's not happening, Bhai.

Why?

We all gathered and used our

hard-earned money

to build our chariot.

When we were

short on money,

you stepped in, donated, and

helped us complete the chariot.

We went through

a lot just to

celebrate our

festival in front of him.

But that monster

burnt our chariot.

He doesn't like us being

happy and independent.

He can't stand it when

we are happy and united.

We can't do anything

about that, Bhai.

We can overcome an enemy.

But what can we do

about the envious?

He wanted to defeat

us, and he did that.

Kathirvel…

Do not stop the festival.

How will it be a festival

without a chariot?

That's the only

chariot for five villages.

Even if he offers the chariot

himself, we won't take it.

We don't want a festival

that happens that way.

Even if you give

us more money,

it will take days to

build a new chariot.

Tomorrow, as it

was fixed earlier,

the festival will happen.

-Sister… -Brother?

Take Thiru home.

The Minister and the Chairman

aren't just looking

to stop the festival.

They want to break our unity.

All we've got to

do in that place is,

either, convince

Bhai to vote for us

or turn the non-M******

against Bhai.

The best response to those

trying to divide

us through religion

is to show them

that it is not possible.

Tomorrow, as it

was fixed earlier,

the festival will happen.

We'll show them. We'll

show them who we are.

Let's make sure the

festival is celebrated

and prove that no

one can divide us.

The chariot will come.

I'll make sure of it.

" Allah, you're the

reason for it all "

" Dear Allah! In your name

alone, Our hearts

find their peace! "

" By the grace of

Your vision, O, Allah "

" In hope, I'll

forever confide! "

YAY!

THE CHARIOT IS COMING!

Grandpa!

The chariot is here, Grandpa!

The chariot is coming!

" In your light, Many

have soared high in life "

" Across life's rugged

journey, many stride "

" But with Your love, Allah, Is

there anyone who can't win? "

" Many wander astray

in their desires' sway "

" Many linger, lost in the dark "

" Yet, who can

witness life's true

grace, If not through

Your eyes? "

" Though the sky

is vast and grand "

" Without You, Allah,

No rain blesses the land! "

" Even in the lush

and fertile land "

" No flower blooms without

Your word, dear Allah "

Happy now?

The chariot's here.

Yes, I'm happy, Appa.

We didn't expect this, Bhai.

I brought the

chariot as I promised.

It's your responsibility now.

Go ahead.

Bhai…

If you don't mind,

please come inside

our temple and join

us in placing our

Goddess on the chariot.

We'll all be delighted.

Kathirvel…

Humans may have created

a thousand different Gods.

But it is one God

who created us all.

We may call our Gods

by different names.

We may pray to

them differently.

But God is the

same. For all of us.

Come on.

Bhai, we want you

to pull the rope first.

Brother, let Samsu be

the first to hold the rope.

-Go on, son. -Come on, take it

Son…

You shouldn't

use your left hand.

-Let's begin! -Pull it!
