MAYILADUTHURAI

(bike whirs)

-Good morning, sir. -What's the problem?

Sir, it's been two hours since the incident.

(tense music)

(door creaks)

(eerie music)

Tribal girl?

Yes sir.

She's a widow from a tribal community, sir.

She arrived with her newborn and worked here.

(baby cooing)

-How long has it been? -It's been an hour, sir.

Sir, the higher-ups want you to call them.

(phone rings)

Hello.

Sir, yes, sir.

Sir, Inspector is on the line.

Sir, they raped the girl and hanged her.

We can't do anything without a post-mortem.

It's not even a year since the SC/ST Act was passed.

The marks on the body can't be covered.

Kaliyaperumal,

the Kumbakonam ADGP is retiring.

The IGP will take charge as ADGP.

Did you hear me?

(rain pattering)

Clearly, sir.

Kaliyaperumal shall be appointed by Abhyankar Swami,

authorized by the Director General of Police.

I'll speak to the concerned officials.

Sir... the baby...

(vehicle engine whirs)

Sir!

Leave it there and walk away without turning back.

(flies buzz)

(snorts)

(baby cries)

(dogs bark)

(hawks screech)

Not the horse, not the elephant,

not the tiger,

not at all.

(fire crackles)

A scapegoat's death

isn't sin, it's destiny.

(baby cries)

(vehicle engine whirs)

(temple bell rings)

SHAKTHI THIRUMAGAN

(upbeat music)

(on radio) Good morning, Chennai.

January 26, 2025.

Preparations are underway for the 75th Republic Day celebrations.

To celebrate the occasion, we have--

Tea! Tea! Tea!

Sir, tea, sir.

Five percent, twelve percent,

eighteen percent, and twenty-eight percent.

Sir, tea!

Come at closing time. That's when we can close.

Obviously, farmland depends on rain. Always complaining when it doesn't.

Tea! Tea! Tea!

-Just seeing you pisses me off! -Bro, tea!

Who told you to farm?

Compensation is only for paddy, not for the farmland.

Sir's gone for a wedding.

Clear out, move it!

What is this, sir? This isn't just for me.

Please, madam!

It's not okay if the holy water's dried up.

At least spare some tap water, sir.

The officer's about to come. Don't block the way.

Go talk on the side.

All the documents are there, yet this file keeps going in circles.

I don't understand your process, please explain.

We can't approve a charity meal for such a small crowd.

That's basic.

They've come to get the CM's blessing, for the increase in extra revenue.

-Why are you talking this way? -I signed, but he won't even treat us!

What, sir? Is it wrong to ask for a treat?

What are you even saying?

Look, Nagendran has started his show.

You bloody dog, asking me to return the money?

-Sir, don't hit. -How dare you question me?

-Sir, let me go. -How dare you question me?

-Let me go. -Get lost!

Oh God!

If I ever see you again, that'll be your end.

Don't you know how to talk to an officer?

Mongrels with their so-called justice.

Look at his audacity, sir!

Forty lakhs!

He swindled our money and kicked us out when we spoke up.

Are you even human? Don't you have a heart?

Why dress so decently?

Bloody parasite!

His name is Selvam, sir.

He's from my village.

To get his daughter-in-law transferred to the Revenue Department,

we came to the Secretariat.

We tried everything, but nothing worked.

That's when the HR and CE Minister's PA told us,

he'd get it done through the CM's PA.

Nagendran?

He's the Minister's brother-in-law.

How much did you give?

Forty lakhs in cash.

(sobs)

That's it.

You won't get it back.

For sure.

This building has swallowed countless people's money.

Like meat in a crocodile's jaws.

Go back to your village.

-(phone rings) -Why did I get into all this!

I've lost my entire PF amount.

Hello?

Dear... all the money's gone.

They fooled me.

(sobbing)

Brother, listen.

Nothing can be done here.

But I know a place.

There's this guy...

his name is...

Kittu.

(upbeat music)

Kittu!

Greetings.

-Hi! -Welcome, sir.

-Hi! -Welcome, sir.

Minister, Collector, Judge, and half the Secretariat will be there.

-Brother. -They'll arrive in half an hour.

-Hello. -Hello, sir.

(elevator dings)

Welcome, sir.

It's good.

Gambling, cards, liquor and much more.

Everything will be there.

He's a broker at the secretariat.

I don't know how he operates.

But he will somehow manage to get the work done.

Ask for anything, and he'll get it done.

There are about 30-40 staff in the office.

Whatever the issue, they'll get it done.

Where's Kittu?

(laughing)

What's up, sir? All good?

-Hello. -Hi.

Hello sir.

Those who applied for the court canteen tender, stand to the right.

Did Muthu bro send you about the road contract?

Wait for five minutes.

You? The Guduvancheri patta issue?

-Yours will take longer. -There'll be a guy named Maaran.

Meet him.

-Hello, sir. -Hello.

-We gave money to the Minister's PA. -Okay.

Forty lakhs, sir.

Hey, brother is here.

Greetings, brother.

(bell rings)

Who'd do such a thing?

How can you be so dumb?

The Revenue Department is under the CM.

Instead of giving the money to the CM's PA,

you gave it to the HR&CE Minister's PA.

And you expect it back?

How can we reason with him?

Anyway, did Maaran tell you?

If the money's recovered, 25 percent... That is ten lakhs, comes to us.

Just say yes.

-Maaran. -Brother.

-Get us some tea. -Okay, brother.

(upbeat music)

No matter how frugally we live, we still can't save money.

Brother.

He's a businessman from New Zealand.

He wants to meet swami ji.

He is ready to invest in New Zealand.

-Family issue, right? -Yes brother.

The advocate will be in room 3.

-Go and meet him. -Thank you, brother.

Brother.

Kandayar's daughter is getting married.

The groom is the Mauritius Prime Minister's sister's son.

He's looking for a place to host the wedding on a grand scale.

Even if God wills it, the priest must approve, right?

Stop with your flattery.

You have a good name with the higher-ups.

Sachidanandam.

This will go straight to the CM's pooja room.

-Okay. -You'll go far.

-Thank you! -You'll surely become great.

-Greetings, sir. -Yes, brother.

You were looking for a marriage hall, right?

On July 16th...

It can be arranged at the Chidambaram Nataraja Temple.

We'll set it up like the Udaipur Palace and make it grand.

I'll talk to the HR and CE Minister's PA, sir.

Send one of your men with the cash...

and get the application signed right away, sir.

Okay, brother.

(chanting mantra)

Hey, get to the point.

Swamiji, on July 16th,

this man, who even funds a New Zealand senator,

is visiting the Chidambaram Temple.

If the satsang happens on the same day,

-it'll be great. -Okay, it can be done.

What else?

Thanks, Kittu.

The groom's family is happy.

I didn't expect you to arrange everything so quickly.

-Thank you so much, brother. -Okay sir.

Right here, sir.

Hello, brother. PC here.

The Minister has signed the approval...

to conduct the marriage in the Chidambaram Temple.

Okay.

We'll get it back. Have some water.

(vehicles honk)

Swamiji, what's the issue between you and the HR and CE Minister?

He's denying permission for the satsang.

You're not an ordinary person, Swami ji.

Looks like he took money for Chinna Kandayar's family's private function.

The statue has reached. You can go talk to them.

Stop!

-CM's house, sir. -Go that side.

Yeah, she is with me, I'll give it to her.

This statue should be bathed only in cow's milk.

Buffalo's milk will spoil it.

Here. Talk to your guruji.

-Why, sir? -Guruji!

-Shut up! -Sachidanandam!

Go stand in the corner.

Sachidanandam!

Babaji should visit us when you come to Chennai.

I'll surely come.

I have an obligation.

This is something even the HR and CE Minister couldn't manage.

That's why I'm asking you.

On July 16th,

we want to arrange a satsang at the Chidambaram Nataraja Temple.

Vela uncle is the HR and CE Minister.

I'll call you back in two minutes.

Yes, madam.

The CM's wife is on the line, sir.

Oh, Divine Lady!

Merciful Goddess!

O Goddess, sovereign of the world entire...

Listen to me, uncle.

Pavakodi Swamigal has an obligation.

-On July 16th. -That date is already booked.

The Kandayar family wedding. It cannot be changed.

Enough.

Maaran.

Do you think the CM has started eating yet?

Mutton rasam and bone curry.

I'm done. I'll be there, sir.

Chinna Kandayar defeated us by 3,000 votes.

What's his link with Vela uncle?

Shut up!

How many times have I told you only family matters at the table.

Vela uncle, Bala uncle!

You think I don't know?

Uncle, the Revenue Department is under his control, right?

For a transfer in his department,

Vela uncle's PA took forty lakhs

and said he can't return it.

As if he doesn't know about it!

Pour the rasam.

(upbeat music)

Brother, come home around eleven o'clock.

Okay, sir.

I'm giving you the best advice. Listen to me.

This is what your father would've done.

He's taken forty lakhs,

if it leaks, our name will be ruined.

Since he made a mistake we are replacing him with a new guy.

If that one slips up, this guy is going to come back in.

So, tell him to wait six months.

We'll post him to the Forest Department.

I will speak to him.

(keypad beeps)

Sir, greetings.

What the hell have you done?

Why poke your nose into the CM's department?

Isn't that wrong?

He's very unhappy.

Hang up now.

What the hell have you done?

Why did I get this call?

What's going on?

What's happening?

Sir... two men from Pudukottai.

They asked for a transfer in the Revenue Department.

They gave me forty lakhs for it.

I couldn't get it done. I was thinking of returning...

For such a small amount...

you sacrificed my minister's post?!

Brother, what happened?

(intense music)

Today, HR and CE Minister Velayudhapani has been sacked from his post.

In addition, two IAS officers...

and a District Collector have been transferred.

Return the money, damn it!

(upbeat music)

(machine whirs)

Brother, it's short by eight bills.

Sir, it was a mistake. I'll return it by tomorrow, sir.

I'll return it by tomorrow, sir.

Mighty fighter

King of justice!

Greetings, sir.

Greetings, sir.

Destiny bends when money dictates

In halls of power, sir seals the gate

Mighty fighter

Hope's defender

Blade of battle

King of Justice

Sir!

-Kittu! -Sorry, sir, I got delayed.

I'm thinking of getting out of Law and Order.

It's not working for me.

I'm thinking of getting transferred to cybercrime.

Just tell me who I should contact, and the price.

That's okay, sir. No need for money.

I'll take care of it.

Brother, my daughter is getting into the tenth standard,

I'm thinking of putting her in DAV.

I spoke with Sir. He couldn't do anything.

Please arrange for it.

I'll take care.

Destiny bends when money dictates

In halls of power, sir seals the gate

Yes, brother.

Which other officers are in the race

for the Cybercrime transfer besides the IG?

Vijayendra Pandiyan, M. Thayumanavan,

Narasima Moorthy, Shakeel Wahab, and M.K. Ayyappan.

These five are in the race.

(crowd cheers)

Sir, can you hear me?

A judge I know has some funds.

He's given them to me for rotation.

Let me know if there's any need.

A judge I know has some funds.

Greetings, sir. How are you?

A judge I know has some funds.

Hello, sir. How are you?

-A judge I know has some-- -Bro stop!

-Who is this judge you know? -I don't know, Maaran.

I'm looking for him too.

Hello, sir.

Kittu, I'm retired judge Parandhaman.

Yes, sir.

You said you're handling the funds of a judge you know, right?

I have some funds too.

Can you rotate them?

That can be done, sir.

Mighty fighter,

Hope's defender

Thank you so much.

He's not just a forester.

He's a forest ranger.

He's making eight to ten crores a month.

We can't touch him, even in a rape case, without knowing his connections.

Collect his complete records.

Bro, this girl is too much.

Hello, no need to talk about me.

She's demanding sixty thousand, bro.

We usually pay forty thousand.

Give it to her.

Do these politicians and collectors look like actors?

Like drunken pigs.

Don't think about it, just pay her for a good deed.

(phone beeps)

Greetings brother.

We came last week about my daughter's eye operation.

You asked us to come on Friday.

-Please come. -Brother.

Pappu is asking for 12 lakhs to build a squash court.

-Hi, sir. -Transfer it, Maaran.

King of justice!

-Thank you, brother. -Thank you, sir.

(phone rings)

-Hey, Kittu. -Aunty!

-Why are you putting me through this ordeal? -What happened, aunty?

I called you twice since morning.

You didn't even bother to call back.

Sorry, aunty. I was held up.

Alright, choringottukara Namboothiri people are coming.

They've given a big list of items for the pooja.

The double tick showed on WhatsApp, you just didn't see it.

Anyway, be here on time tomorrow.

I'll be there before eight, aunty.

Dear, I spoke to Kittu. He said he'll take care of it.

-What time is he coming? -He'll be here sharp at eight.

(intense music)

Good.

(phone buzzes)

-Yes, Maaran. -The inspector is creating a scene here.

-Can you get here soon? -I'll be there in five minutes.

Hey, give me the bike key.

-What, bro? -Give me the bike key!

-(bike whirs) -(crowd chatters)

Don't you understand?

I'm calm only because you're a woman.

You'd better stop arguing.

Sir, people are watching!

Oh gosh.

I'm telling you, the buyers are waiting. Don't you understand?

Kick them out.

Maaran, shall we begin the endgame?

Mighty fighter

Hope's defender

Blade of battle

Bloody!

Sir, it's Secretariat Kittu, sir.

You think inspectors are gods?

You think you've got horns?

I know about your legal and illegal salaries.

How can you double-cross after closing the deal for 80 lakhs?

Running real estate out of the police station!

Didn't you already get the advance?

Sir, didn't I tell you...

about the inspector who's into real estate deals?

Just a minute, sir. Here, talk!

Talk to the IG, you bloody...

Yes, sir. Okay, sir.

We'll close it as he says, sir.

Sorry, brother.

(upbeat music)

(chanting)

It's getting late, go soon.

Why so many pooja items, bro?

Yes, Maaran. They've asked Sir to do this special pooja.

The budget for the 8 day ritual is one and a half crores.

One and a half crores?!

Listen to me carefully...

Vibareetha Rajayogam.

Perfect alignment of the planets.

The position that has slipped away for so long

will come to you in six months.

Even the gods won't be able to stop it.

All praise to God!

(chanting continues)

-Sir. -Is everything going well?

-Everything is going well, sir. -You should have dinner here.

Okay, sir.

He's a brilliant boy.

(intense music)

(laughing)

As soon as I finished my graduation in Oxford,

I lost interest in national politics.

By the late '70s, I left national politics

and moved into geopolitics.

As the globe shrinks, nation grows wider.

(laughing)

My father taught the British how to administrate a nation like India.

Today, if I lobby in Southeast Asia,

a country in South America will go bankrupt.

Find a speck in Indonesia,

they'll dig up a mine in Ethiopia.

Creating famine just to push for loans...

creating wars just for death counts...

that's all part and parcel of politics.

People are nothing but derivative numbers to keep the wheel running.

Population exists only to be used and then to die.

Industrialist, economist, philanthropist...

all of it is just for show.

What really matters is what happens in the background.

Ranganatha,

like Halloween in the U.S., it's all clandestine.

When a political decision is made, the whole world shifts.

But the clandestine is always maintained.

Sir, I've kept the bottles.

-Alright, you leave. -Okay sir.

Whatever you invest in this country will come back to you multiplied.

(laughing)

-Greetings, ma'am. -Greetings!

He's a mediator at the Secretariat.

The women in the colony are struggling without proper means of livelihood.

He's helping them by setting up

a small-scale cottage industry at his own expense.

You're quite well-known.

You could have just called. All the best.

-Thanks, madam. -Do well!

How long will you survive on bribes and lies?

Hey! Take this tea.

I came here in need of help. What the hell are you up to?

-Please calm down, sister. -Stop raising your voice.

That fool is finished today!

Grabbing his shirt won't change a thing.

You take bribes and still call yourself an officer.

(soft music)

(indistinct chatter)

Here, thank you!

What's going on?

He took money for the application and had me coming here for months, sir.

Who took the bribe?

-On social media? Who applied? -This guy, sir.

-What's your name? -Me, sir. I'm Vembu.

Please, help sir. Who is she to question me, sir?

Please give your number.

98-47-20...

She's Vembu.

She got divorced two years ago because of dowry harassment.

She went against her family and got married.

But her husband abused her, and she went through a rough divorce.

She applied for a loan at the Secretariat to start a cottage industry.

But the peon demanded a commission to get her loan approved.

She recorded everything and uploaded it online.

If we could do something...

Oh no! How can we be sure she won't post about us?

Tell her we can't help.

-Want me to get you some more tea? -Go and study.

(phone rings)

Hello...

(tense music)

What happened to my child? Tell me, please.

He only went out to play!

Someone tell me what happened to my son!

How, Maaran?

They say he drowned in the school swimming pool and died.

Oh God...

He didn't die by drowning.

The school principal is bloody pedophile.

He threw his son into the swimming pool after assaulting him.

They didn't even let us do a post-mortem.

Which school is this?

Abhyankar sir's brother-in-law is the school principal.

Ten years of loyal service, and this is his reward.

A man sleeping with another man is his personal choice.

But abusing a child? That's unacceptable.

-Raja, are you going home? -Yes, brother.

Don't. Turn left.

(tyres screech)

Get me Inspector Ravirajan's number. He works in Tindivanam Narcotics.

Lawyer sir, that big cheese at Thoothukudi harbor.

Christian. He looks like Rajkiran.

-Are you referring to Arputha Raj? -Yes.

I'll call you back.

-Advocate sir, this is Kittu. -Yes.

I heard Arputha Raj's son was arrested for a murder in Thoothukudi.

Is that true?

Yes, Kittu. He's still in custody.

(keypad beeps, phone rings)

He's not answering the call.

NARCOTICS DEPT, EGMORE. Oh really?

The Tindivanam Inspector has gone to Tirupati with his family.

Alright. Get in.

(woman wails)

(keypad beeps, phone rings)

Sir.

(upbeat music)

Sir, Kittu from the Secretariat called to ask about you.

NARCOTICS INSPECTOR, THINDIVANAM Kittu, huh?

(phone buzzes)

Brother, it's the inspector's call.

-Hello? -Hello, sir. I'm Kittu.

I know. I've seen you at the Secretariat. What's with all these calls?

-Do you know ex-MLA Arputha Raj? -Yes.

His son has been taken into custody for murder, sir.

What does that got to do with me?

It's important we get him released, sir.

What can I do?

You're at the station, right? I'll be right there.

See you. Raja, let's go!

To get his son out, we need another suspect in his place.

We need a scapegoat to

confess to the murder and serve seven years.

What are you talking about? I can't do anything about it.

You've been tailing me since morning.

Sir, you're a Narcotics inspector, right?

You know kids who who smuggle and sell drugs.

There are kids with no family, no jobs, whose lives got ruined by selling drugs.

Give me one of those.

Instead of drug charges...

He'll take the murder rap. Serving the same seven years.

Since he's covering for Sir's son. I'm willing to do whatever I can for him.

There are plenty of guys in Arputha Raj's town.

But it'll cause unnecessary caste issues.

Just show him to me, and I'll pay you 15 lakhs.

We don't deal with such things here.

Only a few raise them.

We can't do anything without them knowing.

If they had no one backing them up...

But in the bazaar...

Moorthy sir, those three guys we caught at Villupuram bus stand last night?

No, forget it.

You hang up now. I'll call you back.

-This is for you, sir. -Why here in public?

-Take it, sir. -I'll take it.

I've given you 15 lakhs. Send the boy over.

(cries)

If I file a case, you'll spend the next seven years jail.

Useless scoundrel.

Who'll look after your family if you end up in jail?

One person has agreed to get you out of this mess.

Follow his instructions. Your family will be better off.

Eat this.

You're not even 18. What could be so hard in your life?

Huh?

There's 50 lakhs in it. Give it to your mom.

Tell her you'll go to prison and come back after seven years.

(upbeat music)

(bell rings)

I'm a COVID-batch student, ma'am.

Today's my birthday. I came to get the principal's blessings.

Under Saturn's reign Misfortune floods your path

Everything from here on Will turn out better

If challenged, He'll set things right

If tricked, He'll rise even higher

Charges like a bow-wielding hunter, Gripped by a wild frenzy

With a sharp sickle in hand, And speed that never falters

With a fearless heart that doesn't Flinch at enemies surrounding him,

Words that command power, Empathy that knows no end

A whip in his hands, And golden anklets that chime on his feet

He insulted my caste, so I killed him.

I'm ready to face any punishment.

In Chennai today at 11 a.m.,

Rajagopal, principal of a prominent private school,

was murdered by an unidentified young man.

Claiming to be a former student, he entered,

pulled out a knife, and killed Rajagopal by chopping off his genitals.

-See you, sir. -Brother...

The Narco inspector is on his way here.

(siren wails)

Take back your money, sir.

Why, sir?

I should be the one asking that.

You said Arputha Raj's name, but killed Abhyankar's family member.

I wonder where this is going.

He's a powerful figure.

If he ever finds out I had a hand in killing his sister's husband, I'm screwed.

I have a family, sir.

Please take your money back and let me out of this.

-I'm terrified, sir. -Come with me.

I'm saying this because you're scared. Keep it quiet.

Abhyankar sir has helped me many times.

Abhyankar sir and his brother-in-law weren't on good terms.

He was the one who asked me to do this.

That man's a masterful saint.

To me, his words are sacred vows. That's why I did it.

One more thing, sir.

You didn't help that Thoothukudi Arputha Raj.

You've actually helped Abhyankar, the crucial mastermind.

Don't tell this to anyone. You have nothing to worry about.

Brother...

If Abhyankar sir ever gets to know about this...

(sobs)

Don't worry, sir. He'll never find out.

(intense music)

Investigation has begun, sir. We're tracing the route, sir.

We'll get to the bottom of this.

(fire crackles)

(applauding)

Here you go.

Is Maaran sir around?

He's inside. I'll call him.

Go ahead and ask now.

I'm Vembu, and I know Tally well.

I finished my B.Com and worked at an auditing firm for a year.

I couldn't continue the job due to personal reasons.

I tried to get a loan to start a small cottage industry like you did.

But it didn't get approved.

Can I get a job at your company?

Sure. I'll look into it.

Sir...

Could I have a place to stay?

(soft music)

There's a vacant room at the end. You can stay there.

He'll go over the details with you.

Will it flutter or just sway?

-My heart beats, can't run away -Thanks!

Who is she? A flower petal?

That comes to touch the doorway of the heart

Dry winds blow, clouds gather thick

Like dawn over darkness

Dry winds blow, clouds gather thick

Like dawn over darkness

Press it like this.

Gentle rain hits the land

Life bursts within, body trembles, My heart stands grand

Gentle rain hits the land

Life bursts within, body trembles, My heart stands grand

(thundering)

Will the unneeded fade away?

The heart slowly turns another way

New scents ride along the wind

Every day mixes with many musings

Strange new thoughts arise

Colors merge as paths seek their way

Silence gives off sounds

Words hold meanings unsaid

(thundering)

Gentle rain hits the land

Life bursts within, body trembles, My heart stands grand

Gentle rain hits the land

Life bursts within, body trembles,

My heart stands grand

Will it flutter or just sway?

My heart beats, can't run away

Who is she? A flower petal?

That comes to touch the doorway of the heart

47, 48, 49, 50...

This isn't enough, Maaran.

-It's still not enough. -Are you kidding me?

I spend two days a week at the auditor's office, just for this.

Only forged notes can save us.

(thundering)

When there's extra money,

only a portion can be hidden.

These Women's Empowerment Initiatives won't be enough to balance the accounts.

Look, Kittu.

If you had a family to run,

we could show your accounts as...

car loan, housing loan, driver's salary, and so on.

Say yes, and we'll find you a beautiful wife.

(thundering)

(birds flutter)

What are you looking at? Feed it to her.

(camera shutters)

(birds flutter)

(phone rings)

Hello. Sir?

Yes, sir. Two weeks back. It was a simple ceremony.

Her name's Vembu, sir.

I'll come there, sir. You don't have to come all the way.

(beeping)

Who's coming?

Venkatamurthy sir. Delhi Madam's PA.

Madam's nephew.

(siren wails)

Why?

I have no idea.

(tense music)

What happened, sir?

They look down on me just because I don't earn anything.

She's my aunt and I've stayed with her all these years.

She speaks nicely to the new MPs and MLAs.

(siren wails)

I feel ashamed.

Day after day, I bow to her and serve her with respect.

And still, she treats me like dirt.

Look at this. Look at my hands.

I do all the household work, like a slave.

Do I deserve to be cleaning bathrooms at my level?

Is it fair?

(sobs)

What do you want me to do, sir?

Aunt owns 300 acres of land.

She plans to use the land for the SEZ project run by a Japanese firm.

The Japanese company is ready to pay upto 800 crore rupees.

If that land is transferred to my name without any disputes...

I'll regain all the respect I lost.

Once it's done, I'll pay you 200 crores.

No, sir! This isn't possible, sir.

The deal went through only after 800 crores was paid by the Japanese company.

Why would they sell it?

Even if that happens, it'll be to someone like Abhyankar sir.

Why would she sell it to you?

This won't happen, sir.

You got IG transferred so easily.

He told me.

Think about it.

Brother...

Why did you say no?

200 crores... That's huge money.

The Thanjavur SEZ project is set. And the land value is only 40 crores.

The company has increased its value only because it's the Madam's land.

You'll do it once you're in.

Let's give it a try.

Kittu, this isn't about money.

Help me get my respect back, please.

I'll let you know, if I find a way to do it.

(keypad beeps)

(phone rings)

The MLA has served this party for 25 years.

He's such a thief, he could devour a mountain!

SUDHARSANAM ex-MLA Take it already!

He's always surrounded by people.

Mostly his relatives and people from his caste.

His nephew, Kathir.

He takes after his uncle in all duties.

Smart guy, yeah... But hasn't built or saved a thing for himself.

Last month, he killed a guy at a bar for opposing the MLA.

So, there's this ongoing feud between him and the MLA.

Alright. I'll get going, then.

See you, Vembu.

Shall we go on our honeymoon?

-Welcome, Sir! Welcome, Ma'am! -Greetings, sir.

-You must be Kathir, right? -Yes! How did you know?

-Where's Ammachi? -She's in. Come with me.

Bless them abundantly, O Goddess Parashakthi!

May you two live long!

God bless you.

Why take small mouthfuls?

Eat heartily without a worry here. Serve him some more.

I know nothing about you.

Your hometown, your education, and...

I mean...

I want to get to know you.

Don't bother. You'll learn in time.

Of all places, why are we here for our honeymoon?

(laughing)

There he comes.

The Japanese company is taking over the Delhi madam's land.

-Heard the Minister made a 700 crore profit. -Smart move, wasn't it?

She cracked the code. Such a blessed one she is!

I've seen it, too.

Look at him. A tea cigarette vendor at the Secretariat 10 years ago.

Today, the Minister's PA, Venkatamurthy adores him like his own brother.

-He's really earned this growth. -You're too kind, sir.

Sir, why are you still the same? Even the DGP of the city earns more.

I know, right? These buffoons don't seem to understand this.

Can I suggest this?

You say she benefits a 800 crore profit on a project happening in your constituency.

Why not settle it with the company directly?

File a petition at court asking why they looting water resources.

Quote five crores to pull out. Chances are, they'll settle for two.

-How else can you profit then? -(laughing)

Kathir, do you know which is Madam's native place?

Konerirajapuram, right?

All of us know that he recommended her to the Railways in '86.

Am I right?

Without being in power,

you can't even get a transfer done for your own relatives.

If you are naive, then opposition will happily walk over you.

(laughs)

Oh dear, boy.

You have no idea how many I've murdered.

It may look like few people respect me.

But there are many to curse for the sins I've committed.

I've been playing this game for 23 years. You don't tell me how to run my show.

I think you've had enough.

Go to bed.

(laughing)

-Sir? -Yes.

-Maaran? -Brother.

Arrange for two reporters at Thanjavur Sub Court at 9 a.m. tomorrow.

The MLA's filing a case against the Japanese company.

-Like Sir has no other work. -Shut up, man.

Okinawa Pvt. Ltd., functioning as a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) unit,

has taken possession of approximately 420 acres of agricultural land

in Thanjavur District. Said lands have been diverted from agricultural use

and integrated into the Free Economic Zone (FEZ)--

Breaking news. Thanjavur Ex-MLA files a case against Japanese company--

What the heck?

Maari, call down our guests, please.

God bless Minister Ma'am's soul.

I appreciate her efforts in bringing in an SEZ and providing job opportunities.

But not at the cost of snatching away our farmlands. Hence the case.

We hope to receive a fair judgement.

We'll start as soon as he calls.

-Saw that? -Yes, I did.

The last time media swarmed me was when an actress came for election campaign.

Today, all of them were here for me.

Glad to know that I'm still in the good books of my constituency.

Thank you for this reassurance. You have got to stay for another week.

Apologies. We're leaving tonight.

-Sir? -Yes.

-Heard that? -No. What did he say?

They wondered if you're taking the bus or train.

Oh, come on. Like I'd go on foot.

(laughing)

Kathir, can I trust you when I say this?

Of course!

Your brother lost his reputation with the higher ups.

Minister's PA was asking

who holds a strong reputation here, right after your brother.

And I suggested your name.

If he calls you, you better keep your name up.

Thank you!

(phone rings)

Who's it?

The Delhi madam?

Hello?

The Chief Secretary is alone now.

Greetings, sir. This is Kittu, speaking.

-Is now a good time to talk? -Go ahead, Kittu.

I'm honeymooning at MLA Sudharshan's house in Thanjavur.

What's up with him off late? Why the sudden press attention on him?

I was told that he's leaving the party.

I may be wrong but you can confirm with Kathir about this.

-We'll know first hand. -I'll deal with that.

Thank you, sir.

Which Kathir?

The one, here?

-You're in for a toss. -Hang on a minute, guys.

What's the matter? Heard your brother's quitting?

What do you mean, sir?

He did think about it during the elections. But why now?

-Alright, I'll get back to you. -Sure, sir.

Ma'am, there are rumours of him quitting.

Maybe by opposing and defaming you, he assumed he'd quit on a high note.

(laughing)

Devi?

Devi!

What's the matter?

Everyone's wailing at home. Come quick!

-What's wrong? -They're trying to kick him out of the party.

Have you spoken to the Minister?

No, not as yet.

By evening, the news will be out.

Hello? Sir?

Sir, I'm at the MLA's house in Thanjavur.

There are rumours about him--

Sure, sir, I'll give it to him.

Sir, the Minister Selvanayagam's on the line.

What's going on, sir?! What even is happening?!

I've been with this party for 25 years! This case is merely nothing.

I withdrew the petition because I expected some cash in return.

This is my constituency, sir.

Forget that. The company's is on the Minister's land.

If I'm thrown out because of this, won't it ruin his name?

Alright, I'll figure this and get back to you.

(keypad beeps)

Madam.

Madam, his tone was pretty suspicious.

With full arrogance, he warned saying it's minster's property..

harming him would only make things worse for the party.

-I'll handle it, sir. -Yes, ma'am.

(keypad beeps)

It'll only get worse if the media gets a whiff of this.

He's been a member of the party for 25 years.

What shall we do sir?

We'll figure, ma'am.

Vembu?

Hurry up.

(keypad beeps)

(phone buzzes)

Hello.

The Minister's land will be in your name tomorrow.

Just do as I say.

Talk to the MLA's nephew, Kathir.

I want the MLA dead in half an hour.

Do it for your aunt's sake.

Call Kathir, he'll handle it.

Okay, brother.

Get ready, fast! We need to leave.

-I'm getting ready! -I said fast!

(sobs)

Hey! You've no idea who you're talking to.

Finish him off.

(gun fires)

Brother!

Brother! They killed our MLA at the market.

-Did you inform the cops? -Yes, the DCP is on the way.

Kathir bro doesn't want you to be here when the cops arrive. Please, let's go.

(upbeat music)

(siren wails)

Why did they kill him?

He was a bad guy.

(phone rings)

-Connect me to Abhyankar sir. -Yes, madam.

-Did you get the news? -Yeah,

heard Venkatamurthy is behind it.

It is sometimes the pebbles that topple the giants.

It's good that you grasped it on time.

I don't feel right keeping the land in my name after all this.

I was thinking of transferring it to you.

I'm just a political advisor.

Not a property keeper.

They already blame me for your deeds.

Latha..

Don't create an image as if I am your boss.

You're not my boss.

I know...

but others need to believe it too.

Other options?

Ministers can't be tied to this.

Making money has become easier...

than finding a benami in this country.

Maybe someone from your husband's circle?

Taking back the land later will be a problem.

So you're looking for a scapegoat.

What about Venkatamurthy?

He kills for you...

won't he do this?

I don't find any other reliable heads.

It's just temporary.

We'll reclaim it when needed.

Will it work?

End this shudder.

Keep your faith in God,

change the land to Murthy's name.

If anything comes up, I'll handle the press.

Connect Murthy sir on video call.

Murthy, I've decided to transfer the Tanjore property to your name.

Registration's tomorrow.

Is that okay with you?

Your trust in me is a blessing.

(machine whirrs)

Here.

(intense music)

Brother!

The baby formed 41 days back, it seems.

The due date is in eight months.

Brother!

You'll have a prosperous life, brother.

Dear,

he'll reach great heights.

Hold on to him tight.

(laughs)

-Brother! -Need to be extra careful from now on.

Connect to Abhyankar sir.

What happened?

Lately, everything feels off.

Why would an MLA under my foot...

file a case against my SEZ agreement?

That man was a stupid dog for 25 years.

Why should he die because of me?

I'm a senior politician.

The land is mine.

Then why am I transferring it to my PA's name?

When we observe someone long enough,

we can predict their next move.

She must be restless by now.

She would have already called Abhyankar sir.

Now, the situation will begin to change.

Throughout history,

all my decisions have been perfect.

Even in this issue,

the decisions were mine...

but the situations weren't.

It's as if something's unfolding behind our backs.

A forest of words is vast and dense,

causing the mind to wander in confusion.

The Self must be realized through effort by the seeker of truth.

Most people only talk...

just noise.

Noise can create a trance,

even fear.

(indistinct chatter)

But your focus should stay on...

what the soul desires.

The public and media are against this project.

Giving 300 acres to a benami is like...

letting a hungry dog guard your meal.

It'll be gone before you know it.

There's no profit for you in it.

Everything will go to Murthy.

It's better to turn the tables

Call off the project.

Not only for the goodwill,

but your image will rise and your charisma will grow.

When it goes against people's welfare,

even if it's a foreign project,

this lady is staunch enough to kick it out.

Great! These are only short-term goals.

Let's work towards the greater good.

That is the primary goal.

Shri Abhyankar...

There's much more to be accomplished.

Let's move the coin towards that.

(intense music)

Wow!

The way you control things!

What a show.

Success... from today, I'm a con man too.

(laughing)

Due to the acquisition of farmlands, the Japan project has been canceled.

After reaching Tanjore , Mrs.Lathangi--

We managed to get the land,

but it's worthless now.

Now it's worth just 30 crores.

The Japanese company has packed their bags and gone.

The land transfer to my name has only caused me losses.

Take your cut as commission...

and give back the rest.

You expect me to give back the money after all the work I've put in?

You're a big shot.

I'm just a broker.

Giving it back is the right thing.

Maaran.

Hope they demonetize the 500 rupee note.

Please don't mistake me.

With your professional ethics, you'll go far.

Thank you.

(laughing)

Your upbringing is outstanding.

-Who are you talking about? -Who else?

Kittu.

The minister's PA, Murthy,

paid Kittu a huge sum for some work, then asked for it back.

Kittu returned it immediately, with a smile.

That integrity carries Abhyankar's signature.

He's a pimp.

He runs a business with escorts for petty sums.

Why would Murthy deal with him?

I assumed you knew.

The Tanjore MLA's murder a few days ago

that too was handled by Kittu, it seems.

He's just a servant guy...

and you say he carried out a murder?

What are you saying?

He handles the funds of eight judges in our board's club.

Launders money with lightning speed and settles it clean.

Such a shrewd fellow.

A true reflection of your upbringing.

(intense music)

The decisions were mine...

but the situations weren't.

It's as if something's unfolding behind our backs.

(laughs)

If the universe is bigger and stranger than I can imagine,

it's best to meet it with an empty bladder.

I'm gonna go pee.

Hey!

-Do you know what a TASC force is? -No, sir.

Threat analysis, and Surveillance Cell.

Sharma Trivedi's the head.

I've got a man in Bihar.

His name is Ram Pandey.

-What's his name? -Ram Pandey, sir.

Ask him to catch a flight here.

(phone rings)

It's an emergency, Ram. You should go to Chennai.

(siren wails)

Ram, I'll talk to the CM.

Say it's an unofficial order from him.

The IG will be on your side.

Talk to anyone you want, I need the details.

Find out who in the Secretariat used Kittu,

who gave him work,

and how much commission that dog made.

I need the complete list.

Yes, sir

-Sir! Who is it? -Someone powerful.

-Do you know Kittu? -Yes, sir.

Honest guy. He is the one who arranged my transfer.

Your transfer?

Who the hell is he to arrange an IG's transfer?

It's the CM's order. Urgent meeting.

Tell Diwakar sir to send six L&O inspectors to my room immediately.

That guy with him...

Maaran?

Yes, sir.

-Tell him to come right away. -Okay, sir

Bro, minister's PA called.

Told me to come to the CM cell now.

I don't know what to do.

Don't answer anyone's call.

-Head straight home. -Okay brother.

-I'm coming there. -Okay.

Raja!

-Sir, where is brother? -In a meeting at the CM's cell.

-The CM's cell? -Yes, with the CM.

Okay.

-Faster. -Okay, brother.

(keypad beeps)

Brother, Sir's in a meeting with the CM. So tell me.

It's the CM's order. Some urgent meeting, it seems.

They asked to send six L&O inspectors immediately.

Where's the IG?

In a meeting with the CM, brother. He's in the CM's cell.

(phone rings)

-Hello, brother. -How are you, brother?

-At work? -Yeah, brother.

Andhra ministers are here to meet the CM.

I'm making bajji for them.

What do you mean?

I heard the CM is in a meeting with the IG at the CM's cell.

He's at home?

He came back from the Secretariat this afternoon.

Just woke up from his nap.

Vembu!

What's wrong?

They're closing in.

Sir!

I'm giving you two hours.

Use the CM's name. Tell them about Kittu,

say we'll recover the money.

If they don't cooperate,

ask them to check with opposition members and ministers,

then come back to us.

Assure them their information will stay confidential.

Speak directly to all the high-profile people.

If they hesitate, let me know.

I'll talk to them myself.

Quit asking and do as I say. I'm on my way.

(siren wails)

Any details on this?

-Get the statement. -I've shown everything, sir.

What happened, sir?

Have you checked these rooms?

-Who are they? -Don't know, sir. I'll find out.

-See to it. -Yes, sir.

-Check that room as well. -Yes, sir.

Take this for the bus. Go with Chitra sister.

-Take good care of her sister. -Sure.

Okay, get going.

(engine whirrs)

(tense music)

How can I reveal all that?

I paid him 2.25 crores for a railway contract.

Sir, I've never sought help from anyone.

Brother arranged a housing board house for me.

It was Kittu who arranged the minister seat for my brother-in-law.

I have no idea about the money dealings, sir.

Why should I say anything?

Do you share your department's secrets with outsiders?

The rate for asking one question in the Assembly is 75,000, sir.

He always came with the questions and the cash.

I'm running 86 licensed wine shops in the city, all thanks to the CM.

If not for Kittu, why would the CM help me?

Only because the CM is tied to this am I speaking.

I don't know how he launders the black money.

He launders 75 percent of the black money,

and after expenses, he keeps 8 percent.

(applauding)

Kittu handled the OMR layout completely.

They made a fortune,

but I don't know who took how much.

He set up a meeting with the Chief Minister, and we gave him...

8 lakhs.

In highway projects,

every Minister, MLA, MP, AE, and JE has a fixed rate.

For Kittu, we pay 1.2%.

He worked for us on government contracts and loans.

We gave him a two percent brokerage.

He took 8 crores for the beer factory,

then another 1.5.

Sir, give me ten minutes and I'll give you all the details.

Sir!

Sir is on the line.

I can't tell you about the work he's done

but he took...

60 crores.

Based on the information we've gathered so far,

he has taken 6,236 crores and 24 lakhs in cash.

He only took his share once the job was finished.

A few times he did things for free,

my transfer was one of them.

Ministers, MPs, MLAs, MNC CEOs who signed off the work.

Even the CM's PA didn't know he was involved.

The CBCID Cyber Crime IG post was recommended for me...

by a central minister from Jharkhand.

But he had never heard of anyone named Kittu.

It's a network of lobbyists. Between the states. Throughout the country.

He carries out all his work in deep darkness.

(intense music)

Around 42 crores of Sir's money is with him.

Furthermore, your transfer from the Animal Husbandry Ministry eight months ago

was his doing.

What?

What is happening, sir?

He must be killed, sir.

I must kill him myself.

No one has ever done this in history.

Its gonna be the biggest scam of the nation. Mark my words.

People are panicking at the secretariat.

A small guy has been running things for 15 years.

The top official handling the enquiry is near a stroke.

(laughs)

Sir, your sister's husband Rajagopal...

was killed by Kittu sir.

We've double-checked it.

The murder was planned strategically by Kittu, sir.

(bike whirrs)

(siren wails)

Halt the vehicle. Stop.

(tense music)

Come down.

Yes, you.

(screaming)

Spill all the details.

Give me the complete history.

(siren wails)

I'm here, sir.

Come on, guys.

(train honks)

He's there, sir.

(tyres screech)

(grunts)

(siren wails)

The cops are coming. Get inside.

(upbeat music)

(intense music)

We're just members.

Abhyankar sir has sent a special team from the TASC force.

He has solid proof in black and white of your 6236-crore scam.

What matters is staying alive. Tell us where the money is.

Go ahead, file an FIR.

I'll tell everything.

(in Telugu) Damn rogue, do you see yourself as a big man?

I'll finish you off.

Who are you fooling with your act?

I'll slice you to pieces.

Where the hell is the money hidden?

Where have you stored the money?

Answer, you rogue!

I'm only a broker in your business.

Only one percent is mine.

If I'm wrong, then what the hell are you, you bloody rogue?

Who are you?

A saint or what?

You...

Hold on a second, sir.

Kittu, where did you hide the money?

(door screeches)

Greetings, sir.

He has scammed 6000 crores.

What have you all been doing all these years?

Thinking you're some genius strategist?

Moron.

Does God just let foxes run wild?

Only after punishment, He will move on.

See yourself? What a wretched birth!

Fire, debt, revenge.

If left unfinished, they all return.

That's why we must destroy them.

I'd better kill this scoundrel with my own holy hands.

Ram...

hand me the gun.

Sir, look, he is smiling.

(intense music)

(laughs)

You filthy rogue!

(baby cries)

(fire crackles)

(laughs)

(epic music)

Politicians are worse than terrorists.

Bureaucrats surpass politicians.

But there's one class that tops them all.

Mediator.

Parasitic scum!

Do you know where he kept the cash?

Speak up.

(grunts)

(screams)

(in Hindi) Talk! Where's the money?

Where's the 6500 crores hidden?

(cries)

(siren wails)

Sir, I'm sure. It's a chain of network.

A mediator's hand reaches farther than you think.

We'll take them down one by one. I'll get back, sir.

(upbeat music)

Every room has hidden cameras.

She's pregnant, sir.

Careful!

(camera shutters)

(intense music)

-What's your name? -Vaidehi, sir.

-How many work here? -Around 40 people, sir.

-Lock it, sir. -Seal the gate.

Shradha...

It's impossible to spend all this money.

All we need to do is...

Route the money back.

Open that file.

Across Tamil Nadu, officials have discovered unaccounted cash

in accounts across more than 700 banks

established under the banner of Agriculture and Rural Development.

The Central Crime Branch is investigating this money-laundering case

and arrested the accused scamster, Kittu.

(siren wails)

Why would we lie, sir?

-What is this, sir? -Kindly check it, sir.

It's very evident. Hundreds of accounts.

(upbeat music)

Block these accounts.

Seal all the evidence, sir.

Sir, we've uncovered 610 crore worth transcripts from Kittu's account transactions.

210 crore rupees from Kittu's account were funneled through

affiliated NGOs to over 540 members

of mercantile and cooperative societies

who couldn't repay or obtain loans.

Sir, he performed final rites for unidentified bodies

in three cemeteries across Chennai.

The money trail runs from cemetery workers all the way up to high-ranking DMS officers.

He ran a fraudulent insurance firm

to help poor fishermen with boats, nets,

and fake medical insurance for those who couldn't get claims.

He's done that too.

He paid capitation fees for VYAP merit students who were denied their seats.

We found around 183 crores transferred from his account.

More than 271 students are now studying off his capitation, sir.

He asked for help, and didn't think twice.

Give it to them, Maaran.

Thank you, sir.

Does he have any political affiliation?

No, sir.

-Sir... -Yeah?

He stepped in where the government had failed.

-What's your name? -Sadasivam, sir...

-Chitra! -Madhavi, sir.

-Padma! -Parthiban, sir.

-Raja. -Balu, sir.

I'm his advocate, sir.

-98401... -Did you work for him?

(cries)

(barfs)

Are you okay, Vembu?

I found this, sir.

At the teashop owner's house.

Where's this place?

Mayiladuthurai, sir.

If politics was your interest,

you could've started a party and gotten into the game.

If it's fame you wanted,

you should've paraded your good deeds in public.

If you're an extremists, I mean against the government...

You should've gathered people and shouted slogans.

But you fit into none of them.

Who are you?

So...

Mayiladuthurai. Right?

(melancholic music)

(baby cries)

Get me that.

(birds chirp)

Honor and wisdom are the true beauties of mankind.

He's scribbling on the walls again.

Come quickly!

Hey, over here!

-Hurry! -Speed up!

-Stop! -Come on.

(pants)

(baby crying)

Who are you, dear?

Who left you alone here?

Come with me.

That's it. Let's hit the road.

Next performance will be by Kittu as E.V.Ramasamy,

directed by our comrade, a great humanitarian, "Suvarezhuthu" Subbaiah.

Don't believe my words blindly.

Think!

Do what you feel is right, and stand by it.

Give some to the kid.

One who thinks is a human.

One who doesn't think is an animal.

One who's afraid to think is a coward.

Life is not meant for people to live only for themselves.

It's also about living for others.

Hunger creates human. Thirst for knowledge creates humanity.

Thirst for knowledge creates humanity.

Books of knowledge at a very low price!

Books of knowledge at a very low price!

At the lowest price...

Son, don't you have crime/adult books?

Shooting without a target is very dangerous.

To talk without thinking is even more dangerous.

Repeat after me.

Patience will turn into power one day.

Patience will turn into power one day.

But lies and deceit will perish.

But lies and deceit will perish.

Kittu...

Subbaiah, are you that jobless?

They take a different route, fearing a cat.

That's superstition.

Sir! Did we really evolve from monkeys?

Think about the purpose rather than the origin.

Sir, people wearing shirts sit on the bench.

And others are standing.

Does that mean the ones with shirts on are good?

To toil is karma, to laze is dharma.

How so?

Good that you're asking.

That's exactly why we have brains.

At one point, the Himalayas were also under the sea.

It was completely submerged.

This isn't a country.

But a subcontinent.

Hundreds of languages, thousands of ethnicities.

Rulers kept changing,

and people kept dying.

There were no high or low among people.

They made it up for convenience.

They believed it blindly.

And never learned to questioned back.

Kittu... What will you do if you become a leader?

I'll help those in need.

It's not so simple.

You'll go through hell just to finish your education.

Even if you do achieve, no one will give you a chance.

They'll only give it to their circle and to those who bribe them.

At best, you can get a clerical job.

They'll pay and make you a slave,

but never let you become a leader.

Last night, more than 26 soldiers were killed in a border gunfight.

Selvaraj, Sadasivam, Tamil Selvan, Leema, Thango, Madhavan...

Several more unidentified bodies have been discovered.

(unison) I will vote, I will vote.

(unison) I will vote, I will vote.

(unison) I will vote, I will vote.

(unison) I will vote, I will vote.

Every party here lives by one motto— to seize power.

Begging for votes, hoisting flags to loot...

To all these people, electoral politics is an endless source.

Half perished by faith, the others by denial.

These so-called machines for growth Feeds only the rich,

not the hungry.

While ten thousand starve,

one greedy belly grows fatter.

Why can't we just get rid of these evil people?

It's not possible.

After taking everything,

when the nation collapses in 30 years,

they'll flee to America unharmed.

Holy water, holy water! For cancer, diabetes, joint pain!

This is pure Arabic balm!

Arabic balm, madam, please buy and be cured!

Everything came from nothing.

One who claims nothing exists is an atheist.

And the one who claims it exists is a theist.

Anyone profiting from this is just a gang of crooks.

Your honor, a poor tribal woman who came for work,

was exploited, murdered...

Isn't your case going on now? You didn't go?

I don't trust the law. Get me the tea.

Also staged as a suicide...

and it has been eight years since I gave the evidences and witnesses.

You keep postponing every three months.

-Is this justice? -Stop it!

That girl was already in a brothel.

Now you file a case and give me advice?

As always, an adjournment! Take your seat.

Kittu, remember his face.

Who killed your mom, Kittu?

Think!

Kovi Narayanan, the manager.

Was it only him?

Manager Vaithee,

Sreelesh Sri,

Ex-MLA Gowri Shankar,

and Sahasara Naman.

If they're guilty,

then what about the judge who called your mom a harlot?

What about the judge?

Behind all of them,

is someone who gives them the courage to do so

act however they wish.

He's the mastermind.

They're just pawns.

Abhyankar Srinivasan - he's the root.

He's not human... just a sly fox.

It doesn't matter who wins the elections,

or who rules...

Foxes like him controls the administration.

He has no bounds to his crimes.

Nothing is off limits.

Staying in Chennai, he's able to make judges here pass judgments to suit his needs.

Even after 30 years, he'll sit at the top and eat this nation.

We fight in the open.

He schemes cunningly, like a fox.

His spit becomes poison for a thousand years.

He digs graves before he makes plans.

A true leader is one who paves his own way.

The good must triumph, and the bad must perish.

Don't hunt the lion to cure the jungle's chaos...

Hunt the fox!

WHERE IS JUSTICE?

Sir...sir...

Did you write something on the temple wall yesterday?

Yes, I did.

Come with me. The inspector wants to see you.

Oh, God! You killed him, sir.

He's a relative. He has no one. His family is dead.

A cleaner from the MLA hostel used to clean tables there.

He's good at housework.

We just need to provide food.

Our new product is in high demand, sir.

No traces in Mayiladuthurai, sir.

Hello? Sir...

I enquired, and found nothing, sir.

That place has no record of his past.

He hasn't been there since his childhood. No leads, sir.

He hasn't spoken for six months.

We don't know who he's yet.

Seems to be a Robin Hood syndrome.

What's your ideology?

What did they do to brainwash you?

Do you all suffer from an inferiority complex?

Tell...

He's been involved with political groups since childhood.

They filled him with political ideologies.

I think... he is mentally ill.

Tell him we'll let him go if he says where he hid the money.

Six months have passed.

This treatment will go on forever.

Maybe until your death as well.

Tell me where the money is.

Sir!

Sir, the confiscated sum stands at 5,387 crores.

Where is he?

Kittu! How are you doing?

They called it "political indoctrination", or whatever.

Apparently, you've been busy doing good!

It's the government's duty.

Why are you stepping in?

Big movie buff, aren't you?

When God shaped mankind,

He gave different minds to the ones who lead and the ones left to bear the blame.

Our mindset isn't something you catch up to in one lifetime.

You wished for the sky and dropped your pride.

Suffer... only suffering will make you understand.

A thousand like you may rise, but not one can touch me.

This is my kingdom!

You'll drop dead before you even think of laying a hand on me!

We can't hold him for long, sir.

The judiciary has to take its course.

Fraud and misrepresentation alone has 69 cases.

then under contract law,

offences of bribery, investment fraud, and siphoning...it goes beyond 116 cases!

Talked to sitting Magistrate Sukhla, and things will be sorted.

Before you release him, make sure he's been “treated” well.

Get lost!

The Chennai High Court has approved bail for Kittu, the fraud kingpin

who was involved in crores of scams and escort rackets

across Tamil Nadu for over eight years.

Opposing Kittu's bail plea,

the public prosecutor pressed the court to direct Kittu and his associate Maaran

to appear at the police station every day,

given the 167 active cases.

(camera shutter)

(news plays in Hindi)

The prime accused in the 6000 crore scam

has been released on bail after spending months behind bars.

On grounds of fraud and brokering activities...

Scamster Kittu, facing charges, is appearing at the police stations as ordered.

Know one thing about the court.

It's an unpredictable horse.

I'll let you in on what I know...

the boy has poked into something big.

I cannot disclose who is behind all this.

They brought in the Force One team at a secret spot and bashed him up.

They stripped him bare and hit him with 167 charges.

From here on, his life will pass by signing at police stations.

He can't open a bank account. Can't even run a small tea shop.

-What's your name? -Tell me your name

What's your name? Your name?

Kittu.

Show up next week without fail.

(grunts)

The system treats a scamster only until he's been caught.

once he's caught, the system's treatment flips.

Bro, it's already 8. We need to be at court by 11. Shall we go?

-You recognize that escort broker? -Of course!

-Take out the phone. -It's him, bro!

-Let's leave, brother. -Film him, dude!

Look at that guy go!

(door screeches)

Think of nothing. Let go of your past.

Brother, this is all I could gather. Please have it.

(speech in Hindi)

(speech continues)

-Hi, Ram. -Congrats, sir.

We sealed the evidence and submitted it.

The closing procedures are being carried out, sir.

Ten years of his life

will be spent visiting a new district every day to sign in.

I think we are done.

Good.

(applauding)

-Kaliyamurthy! -Sir?

-Isn't the police uniform the superior one? -Indeed, sir.

Dogs who run brothels shouldn't go around preaching, right Murthy?

Yes, sir.

What?

Get lost! Go.

Get going.

Hey, I know your roots and where you come from.

Those stripped of dignity can't afford anger.

Shut up and leave!

Brother...

We've got Vellore court at 11 tomorrow, then straight to Thindivanam court.

The advocate said they need to get a paper attested from the PC side.

We made a lot of mistakes, brother.

Our sins are hunting us down.

The road we chose

and the things we did...

everything is wrong, brother.

If we had taken up jobs instead of brokering and helping people, none of this would've happened.

This is all a mistake, brother.

(sobs)

What exactly is the mistake, Maaran?

How do you think we should've lived?

What can we even do in this country, Maaran?

Crack an exam and grab a job?

Become an IAS, a Lawyer? Or a Judge and bow down to criminals?

Is anything going right these days?

You know what happens when an officer doesn't know

who to flatter or where to bow down.

From top bosses to peons,

they all know who's in charge and who to butter up to move higher.

We can do one thing.

Criminal acts with not a drop of humanity.

A man who wants to cheat,

moves into real estate, owning petrol bunks, or gas agencies to loot.

And takes lives to keep his robbery safe.

To secure his looted assets,

he joins hands with a party, kisses up to those in power, and doubles his money.

Else, on the town's outskirts, he'll build a small office,

hold real estate talks there, and mint money.

What else can we do besides brokering?

Who's been sinning? And for how many years?

To even help people, we had to turn to illegal means.

-We can't even afford to feed the child. -Please buy a glass of milk, sir.

Our income barely covers groceries, gas, and vegetables.

We shell out rent for a cramped home, and medicine bills only add to the misery!

I've been coming here for four months. You think you'll prosper?

Rot in hell!

One litre petrol, one-third looks like lemon-water! Is this what you call petrol, sir?

Don't you know there's a law against petrol fraud that'll put you behind bars?

Who's going to enforce it? In other countries, petrol prices are far lower.

State tax 18, Central 23, dealer commission 5!

You take 105 rupees from us! And now you even mix stuff in it.

-Who'll question this? -Let me clear this.

Petrol prices keep surging. You can't blame any government.

It is not a single man's call. Companies like BNGC and BAIL set the prices.

Why smoke away your money driving petrol vehicles?

Switch to e-vehicles.

I drive an e-vehicle myself!

Not even a bed... they put him on the floor and treated him.

For a mere bed, we have to pay.

They say go to a private hospital. Without lakhs, how do I go?

To bring home 2000, we have to clean four houses.

When one must toil in eight houses to bring home food, what future do we have?

Even those who come in cars can only afford refined oil.

Only those who fly can buy cold-pressed oil in today's economy.

Can a family that spends only 2000 rupees on groceries for a whole month,

pay 1500 just for oil?

My salary gets credited only after deducting money in the name of TDS.

And if I withdraw the remaining money from the ATM, they cut charges for that as well.

If my balance slips one rupee below 10,000, I get fined 610 rupees.

I couldn't land a job after completing engineering, so I work at this hotel.

North Indians do this 11,000 job for 8,000. Why can't you they ask?

With customers shelling out 100–200 on tax for every bill, how do we expect a tip?

New tollgates pop up all the time, and they swipe money through Fastag.

Who will we ask?

This road's made of tar, not gold, right?

Milk that baby drinks, drinking water, toothpaste even pencil sharpeners!

Cement is essential to build a house, right?

Then why are the prices sky-high?

A normal car bought on EMI has same tax,

and even a luxury car pays the same? Is this even fair? You tell me.

My daughter played well up to the zonal under-18 level, brother.

Eight years of training all gone to waste.

Even those who can't hold a bat get high places if the powerful put in a word.

So many councils and committees are there. Can't one respect their post and do justice?

Only our birth decides respect.

The root problem in this country is wanting more than one deserves.

If you've got the money, buy a car. If you can afford cement, build a house.

If you can't pay tax, you just tie a wet towel around your belly and go to bed.

When tax comes with every purchase, then why buy at all?

Look at this temple... no management whatsoever.

I take care of this place, clean it myself, and serve the Goddess.

Where do I go for help? Tell me.

Encroachment they say! The state seizes our land,

the central does the same,

and still they evaluate only one tenth price for our land!

A decade ago, the policy offered lakhs in returns for monthly payments.

These days, even lakhs mean nothing.

More than 5000 people use this route.

We've been standing here four hours, and not one bus showed up! How can this be?

(indistinct chattering)

After making the whole nation poor, who will they rob money from?

Everything has a limit, Maaran.

A layman isn't bound to sit back and endure.

The law works to shield the criminals and strike the innocent.

10,000 suffer under a dumb councillor, lakhs under a useless MLA.

MPs who bag crores to horse trade their seats

A councillor with 10 homes, 4 firms, 3 wives,

and crores piled up! Look at them boasting like a big shot.

And a politically ignorant crowd fills every corner of this land.

Do you know how many people waste their lives,

stuck on a phone all day long?

They won't bat an eye even if the nation goes to ruins.

He sits at the top, polished and smug, playing games while fooling his people.

You're talking about sins now?

Ma'am, look at this.

-Show. Did you check this twice? -Yes, ma'am.

Sir, the estimated amount and the confiscated amount aren't tallying.

The expenses Kittu made all these years

and the confiscated 5,387 crores don't add up.

Either our math is wrong, or he has hidden assets.

This case is not done yet, sir.

Congratulations, sir.

You're the prime candidate!

The collegium members, 36 judges... all are on our side.

Abhyankar isn't some ordinary lobbyist or economist like you think.

He owns 27 groups of industries, auditing firms, meat trades, condom factories, mills.

If he sparks a fire here, the blaze won't stop till America.

By the time you bite a snack, he's moving coins in the Pentagon.

He doesn't care if he's a country's president or a nation's CEO.

His moves are sleek and unnoticeable.

He wasn't waiting this long

just to pocket crores in commission, grab five minutes of fame,

or pose with the big cheeses.

He's after something big!

Supreme Commander of Indian Armed Force.

Head of the Republic.

President of India.

He's not the President... just another president.

Cabinet, High Court Judge, Governor, Attorney General,

Foreign Ambassador!

Everybody works for our boss!

Look what he's done without power.

Give him power, and he won't flinch to write off the whole nation.

It's for the people to decide who sits in power.

-Senior economist and political mastermind. -Senior economist and political mastermind.

-Senior economist... -And political mastermind.

Abhyankar Swamy is likely to be nominated as presidential candidate by the ruling party.

-Here's a look at what him... -A successful industrialist

A relentless crusader and opinionated academic

Swamy has long been an outspoken advocate for social injustices-

Abhyankar Swamy was born in a small village in the southern parts of the nation.

(helicopter whirrs)

PEROZ JI INDIA'S FOURTH LARGEST BILLIONAIRE

Poor people, Maaran.

They won't catch his sly tricks.

He's a criminal, and he has to be wiped out!

That's all.

We can't get rid of every animal separately.

Set the whole forest ablaze like wildfire.

(upbeat music)

There are many problems here.

They'll crush anyone who dares to do good.

It terrifies me knowing that they freed you even after knowing who you are.

(beeping)

We can't fight back, brother.

Twelve years will go by just running to courts and stations before we can live again.

He's untouchable now!

The man who tortured us inside the lockup can finish us off in a minute.

One call against him is enough. They'll finish you in no time.

We have no support.

When we're in misery, how do we even fight back?

-Patience will turn into power one day. -Patience will turn into power one day.

-And all lies and deceit will be wiped out. -And all lies and deceit will be wiped out.

Of course, we can't do anything, Maaran.

If everyone takes a step back,

someone's got to stay and fight, right?

Enough of patience and requests.

We'll snatch it by force!

I have to show them what I'm capable of!

All the cruelty he's shown people over the years...

I'll repay it to him.

Within a week,

I'll crush his arrogance, expose his true colors,

and drag him from his throne to the streets.

The evil cannot be purged by non-violence alone;

sometimes the surgeon's knife is necessary.

(tense music)

Hello?

Please put a scratch card on it.

-What would you like to have, sir? -Chilled water, please.

How much BTC?

It showed around 674.

A monkey doll?

Cryptopunk 7435.

Drop it.

Sir, he's over there.

-Sophie! -Yes?

Is this one up for auction? Michael, you heard of CryptoPunk 7435?

No!

How come one NFT has so much competition?

Cryptopunk 7435.

Cryptopunk 7435.

Guys! I have got good news! We did it!

NFTs, seen as the stock market's modern evolution, are being sold in crores.

The share market industry is shocked as CryptoPunk 7435,

a monkey-pixel token, was auctioned for 23.7 million dollars.

NANDHINI FORIEGN VIP ESCORT

Hello?

Hello, Swiggy?

Order accepted. The restaurant's name is Pappu.

Okay.

Delivery partner's name is Vignesh Sundaresan.

Correct?

Yes, correct.

Hello? I've sent the parcel.

Yes.

Brother, the ride is at the harbour at 6.

-Shall we take the xerox? -Yes.

What is this NFT, BTC? I don't get it.

BTC is bitcoin. You do the math.

If a Bitcoin is 29,03,021 rupees today,

what will 674 of them add up to?

-Tell me your name. -Kittu?

-Signing without fail, right? -Yes, ma'am.

197 crores?

-Yes, Maaran. -Silence!

Keep it inside. Brother! Brother!

Come fast! Come on.

These are the students whose studies we took care of.

He's Odisha's Collector. He'll back us with whatever we need.

-We're connected with many like them. -When needed, we'll reach out to them.

-He's Dilipan, Maaran. He's from Bombay. -Got it, brother.

If even a sliver of info leaks, FORCE ONE, IB, STF,

your life isn't safe the next second.

Funds one-point transfer. I've sent you the first split.

The balance will be sent after you complete your job and leave India.

Nandhini, I'll tell you what to do.

(upbeat music)

Is there any rule that says a lobbyist can't become president?

From Israel to Ethiopia, those who dealt in brokering are now in power today.

No, brother. You've stayed hidden in the back end for over 40 years.

Suddenly, you're aiming for president and grabbing the limelight...

-How's that, brother? -"Suddenly"?

Mr. Indrachud.

When I become President, I'll bring in just five schemes.

Food, salt, electricity, education, and medicine.

There are 120 million people here. And everyone wants everything?

Is this a country or an orphanage home?

Can we tell every beggar in this democracy

that they're worthless and should just die?

Who'll enforce it?

People in first-world nations live on frozen food, right?

Even the rich eat leaves stuffed in bread and call it a meal.

Then why the hell does a mere beggar need a feast with rice?

People everywhere travel to India for cheaper medical treatments.

Why does saving a human life has to be so cheap?

From now on, if the one without ten lakhs in his account,

gets a heart attack, he has to dig his own grave and bury himself.

A dog without brains for merit

is wagging 30 crores to grab a medical seat at my college.

Failing him at 8th or 10th grade, as he deserved,

would have stopped him from bribing for a college seat now.

The world will know the true power of a President only when I take charge.

Once I'm in power,

every signature I write will drain the poor, shattering their will to live.

Economical cleansing.

We're drowning in debts already. Do this, and the economy collapses!

Let it crumble!

-Then our people's state? -Mere people, right?

They'll be dreaming of a hero saving the country, the way it happens in movies.

Don't worry too much.

Spinning tales isn't new to us!

(siren wails)

The systems have collapsed and they can't be fixed!

Malware virus attack, brother.

-Don't stare at me. -Send Ram Pandey to the Guduvancheri unit.

Ally Infosys says they need a week to get this repaired, sir.

If we stop production for a week, we'll lose 970 crores, sir.

Even if we call it a maintenance shutdown, we have to credit their salaries anyway.

(phone rings)

What is he doing?

He's here.

When the storm is breaking, Will dust piles dare to stay?

The fire of his way...

-Sir, he's holding a tiny box. -What is it?

Sir!

-Betel leaf box, sir. -Come again?

With sword that strikes, On a horse that charges in wrath...

When enmity closes in, The fearless heart never bends!

Words that command power, Empathy that knows no end

In his hands, the whip is ready, Golden anklets roar like thunder!

We need more security at all Abhyankar properties.

Alert the respective police stations.

Arrest whoever seems suspicious!

Balaji, over hear all the WhatsApp conversations.

I need to know if Kittu had any communication with the contacts on the updated list.

Keep it monitored.

-Hi, sir. -Give them what they want.

You don't have much time, it's a real threat to the state.

Do the best you can. Please.

Take that, Karuppu.

Sir, they've confiscated a tiffin-box bomb at Abhyankar's Guduvancheri warehouse.

Just now, sir.

What is he doing?

Sir!

(TV plays)

He's watching "Sivaji" on TV.

Hey, who the hell are you?

Parashakthi hero, damn it!

When the storm is breaking, Will dust piles dare to stay?

Can a brood of schemers hold Against the fire of his way?

The one who taunts is under his heel! He's marked for death, watch him fall!

He'll rip his bowels, weave a chain, And chase him down. Run for your life!

With the sword that strikes the foe, On a horse that charges in wrath...

When enmity closes in, The fearless heart never bends

Words that command power, Empathy that knows no end

In his hands, the whip is ready, Golden anklets roar like thunder!

The authorities, on reaching the crime spot, confirmed that

three buildings that were bombed belonged to the presidential candidate Abhyankar

with property damage running into crores.

Minister on line, brother.

Random malware hits my mills in the morning,

and by noon four warehouses are in ashes.

Doesn't this look like a personal attack?

(phone rings)

-Sir. -Where is he?

He's here.

Hail! O Lord Muruga!

(chanting continues)

He's at Nadupazhani Temple, waiting in line to carry Kavadi,sir.

(vehicle honks)

With the sword that strikes the foe, On a horse that charges in wrath...

When enmity closes in, The fearless heart never bends

Words that command power, Empathy that knows no end

In his hands, the whip is ready, Golden anklets roar like thunder!

(tyres screech)

(cow mooing)

This accident happened while the truck was headed to Abhyankar's factory.

The investigation is on going.

All containers are filled with cows that were trafficked illegally.

It is verified the containers are tied to Abhyankar's companies:

AB Leather Industries, AB Condom Manufacturers, and AB Beef Exports.

(phone rings)

What is he doing?

Sir!

He's distributing sweets, sir.

Have one, sir.

Made with pure ghee!

Try one, sir. Tastes amazing!

When the storm is breaking, Will dust piles dare to stay?

Can a brood of schemers hold Against the fire of his way?

The one who taunts is under his heel! He's marked for death, watch him fall!

He'll rip his bowels, weave a chain, And chase him down, run for your life!

Clipping shows accidents of containers containing hundreds of cows.

The other clip show how these cows being killed for the purposes of

condom manufacturing, leather making and many other purposes.

Abhyankar Industries beef exports and... (news continues)

(intense music)

Without a clear intimation, how can the raid happen?

No one ever spoke ill of him.

Today the news channels are tearing him down.

Someone must've hexed him.

This has nothing to do with your presidential victory.

Please don't worry we'll take care

And the entire nation will be distracted with tonight's IPL match.

Mr. President, you take good rest.

Take your medicines and sleep well.

I've gauged every one of you in power for the past 30 years.

I've taken bullets for you.

If I don't have the reward,

you'll have to face the consequences.

(train honks)

Stay safe, Raja.

Let me know when you reach Nellore.

(sentimental music)

When will you be back?

You will come, right?

(train honks)

Brother...

We will be safe, right?

Sir's on his way. Have some tea in the meanwhile.

There's no reason to wait, Ram!

However you tail him,

we can't take a risk for the next.

Abhyankar isn't some ordinary Munnusamy or Kuppusamy.

-I'm answerable to him. -We're going as per SOP, ma'am.

He's under surveillance.

It's illegal to arrest him during the pooja holidays.

He's on bail, reporting at the station regularly. What can I possibly do?

Mr. Pandey, I don't give a damn about the legalities.

-Arrest him! -At once, ma'am.

(siren wails)

We're catching him at once. We're coming with backup. Just hold him.

(tense music)

(walkie talkie beeps)

(phone rings)

-Sir? -How many of our men do we have?

Sir, Inspector's inside.

IO has stepped out for a bit.

Twelve of us are in here, sir. That is, four constables on duty,

HIO, IHO and the gate sentry.

Are they locking us down?

Have you alerted the rest?

(siren wails)

Even our night-patrol men are coming here, sir.

Alright, sir.

We're headed there, sir.

Sir, officers from Commissioner's office are headed here.

-Can I get a-- -Time's up, Maaran.

Sir wants you two in.

So, come with me.

I'm calling, and you're busy drinking tea?

Must I specially invite you to come?

Come!

It's on.

You pay up.

(car honks)

Stop wasting time

and bring him here!

(vehicle honks)

(grunts)

Let fear be gone, man up Crush the lies behind brave eyes

With thoughts refined and vision wide I rose from Karikalan's pride

Through every turn of time, he went Across the sea, his will unbent

His backbone is his grandfather's fire Beating in his chest like burning wire

Time will come, the plan's in place The enemy's still not found his pace

Time moved on and wisdom grew I rose again, born anew

Fire can burn the flesh away

-Hey. He's slipping away. -Grab his leg.

-Catch him. -Don't let him go that easily.

The land that buried its dead in rows Held a place in history no one chose

No place for those who fled the fight So run, keep running out of sight

Time will quietly do its part History will guide the heart

He walks in, the thunder cracks Even the bold step ten steps back

Slaves may run to safer ground But like a god, his heart stands sound

He knows each tactic, every thread In global minds where power is spread

Come on.

Even when the enemy lays him bare He speaks straight; bold and rare

You asked me my place, right?

Religion and caste mean nothing to me.

All I see is good and bad.

This isn't your game.

Sit back and watch the show.

Ma'am! He's chasing us down!

(upbeat music)

(siren wails)

-Quick. -Come, pick them up.

Careful. It hurts, sir.

Sir, I'm speaking from Redhills station.

He thrashed them all and ran!

Get moving. Fast!

Sir, another officer's here!

Where are we?

This is our place, Maaran.

Pappu...

Do what you have to.

What?

Okay. I'll do it.

Pappu...

Switch on the auto-translate.

Word is, you're India's richest man, and master of lakhs of crores...

have the power to do anything.

Our guy has been dying to become the President for 30 years.

I heard you gave eight opposition MPs a thousand crores each.

8,000 crores in all, last week.

I have only one demand.

He should never come to power.

By dawn, I want word out that Abhyankar's off the presidential candidate list.

If you can, you can get back your 8000 crores.

A double win!

You'd have everything back.

Do we have a deal?

Peroz ji...

If he comes to power, consider your son gone.

Hang up.

Had your father been alive, he would've been shattered!

I told you he seemed off. You never listened!

Four days ago,

an illegal cryptocurrency transaction took place.

Roughly 197 crores

entered the nation.

Targeting Abhyankar, his mills and manufacturing units

have been infested with Stuxnet malware.

Within hours, there were bombings in all his warehouses

and a planned accident exposing the cruelty of cows.

Now, it's a kidnap.

It wasn't a random person. But Peroz ji's son.

Looks like a one-man job.

Whichever server and whatever bandwidth was used...

I want his GPS location.

-ASAP. -(all) Yes, sir!

Mr. Abhyankar.

If me giving away 8000 crores was the issue,

I don't mind giving it!

That doesn't matter.

-Damn it. -But this is your debt!

You will have to sort out whatever enmity you have with that guy!

Fail to save my child,

(in Hindi) I will hammer the life out of you.

What is he saying?

I've spent eight lakh crores on your party in three years.

Don't forget how you went down on your knees for that money.

(in Hindi) Are you listening to me?

Answer me!

(phone rings)

He's calling.

Sir, he's calling.

(in Hindi) The line's already connected, sir.

Peroz ji was just on the line with Abhyankar sir.

Let me clear this.

Abhyankar's already won the election, unofficially.

Nothing can be done. Not even Peroz.

But he has an offer.

He'll transfer the 8000 crores to you.

Without a dime short.

Once the transaction's done,

He'll arrange an escape route for you, safely out of India.

Name the country and Peroz ji will settle you and your folks

with new identities and new passports.

All the cases will be revoked

and you'll go with a clean slate!

So, do you like it, Kittu?

Ram...

You call in SAGs and Force One for a billionaire's son

then push me into his 8,000 crore deal?

Have you ever put in this much of effort for a citizen?

I want you to decide, Ram,

who to protect and who's right in this case.

Peroz ji, you think I kidnapped him

for a mere 8000 crores out of your 90 lakhs crore empire?

Come to the place I tell you

to pick up his last remains.

(lighter clicks)

(clock ticking)

Sir, tea.

(in Hindi) Out of my face!

IBs, TASC and SAGs...

So many officers and none of you were able to nab him!

(in Hindi) What the heck were you doing all this while?!

It's been four days!

Get back to work, all of you!

I want him by this evening.

How much longer?

Two minutes, sir.

Sir?

We almost got him.

His encryption's quite strong

and connected to a Polish bandwidth.

-Give us a minute. -It seems like the domain's controlled by Pappu.

(in Hindi) Who's Pappu now?

Checking, sir.

Sir!

In 2019, he hacked into Seattle's iPhone network, just for not having one.

He's a Tamilian. Account username: Pappu.

We still don't know who he is. An individual or a team.

Hello... Hello?

Ready to go, sir.

My identity isn't the point right now.

A scamster, pimp, brothel-keeper...

Nothing of it is important to you.

If this link of mine closes, it'll reopen on another proxy link.

I'm sharing 213GB of data with you right now.

It includes a 18,000 paged PDF file, few classified information,

documented emails, details of bank transactions,

phone conversations and videos.

The source data can be accessed using this password.

This data is what I've gathered from the 12 years I worked as a broker.

Injustice brews around us, and dangers lurk unseen.

Poverty, injustice, oppression, tyranny...

Crisis decides who talks, who doesn't.

Which demography of people speak, when they speak,and what must never be said,

all of it is controlled by powers above us.

And I am here, to present you the truth, raw and unfiltered.

As the world's largest democracy, India.. 28 states..

146 crore population...

40 crore+ youngsters...

How many people here are living without hardship?

Still 3/4 th of people are in need of ration rice...

From African countries ravaged by famine

to Asian nations where prostitution thrives...

they're surprisingly above India on the list of developing countries.

The problem? Our economy.

Once middle class, in just four years, they're now lower middle class.

Those who were lower middle class now fight for every grain.

Two weeks in, even the salaried fall back on loans to survive.

Lentils which was 65 rupees now costs 180 rupees.

Oil was 120 rupees is now 360 rupees.

A 20 rupees can of water is now 40 bucks.

A gram of gold which was 2500 rupees now skyrockets to 10,000 and more!

Haircuts were 50 rupees then - now you can't get one for less than 130!

Even a spoonful of dosa batter levies a 15 rupee tax for no reason.

We pay 68,000 crores in taxes for governments to function every day.

And what do we get?

In just four years, fortunes rose from 100 crores to 10,000 crores!

In a country of 120 crores,

just 110 richest folks hold 77% of the wealth.

Information on whose behind it all, who aided who,

who benefitted from whom, is categorized in folders.

Please check.

In this corrupt system, we're fined at every signal without a helmet

by the police despite the blistering heat.

Yet no one dares to question those looting crores from the innocent.

One might wonder the need for pension schemes for the elderly.

But never those who hand out crores to billionaires who never repay.

Surgeries are done on the dead

with reports filed as if they were alive.

But you couldn't manage the hike in something as basic as milk.

All you sell us is milk flavored water for 36 bucks.

In this 'marvelous' system, a normal road contractor can swindle

crores and crores by producing fake receipts.

No one dares question it.

But yes, widening roads by chopping trees

without notice... that's possible!

The law backs them up, surprisingly.

No one can question them, yet again.

Even as farmers die or abandon farming,

no one questions the disappearance of water bodies.

"A just king, who clears away all unrighteousness,

stands firm in honor without faltering in virtue."

Multimillionaires who sees only profit...

will never know shame.

This was done by many, not one.

The sly hand is of those in power like Abhyankar.

You'll find them in every field and every political party.

An ecosystem where the powerful shield the guilty.

To them, the lower middle class is not human,

just people to be kept ignorant and uneducated.

Lavish sums are spent on movies, cricket,

endless TV channels, useless apps, and drug trafficking...

All designed and engineered

to keep us hooked and blind to their crimes.

Surprisingly, the law bends back and forth for them.

Police pick up who they're pointed to, media prints what they're told,

ignoring the lives destroyed in the process.

Fearless, even as they swindle.

Will fear always cage the innocent, while the guilty walk free?

In a democracy, the rich only should always live afraid of the poor.

The identities of those criminals, the corruption they've caused,

the receipts to them, their bank transaction details and assets,

I have given them all to you.

I have no idea if the court will punish them.

Most of what I say will be censored.

Almost 90 percent of it will be omitted in your daily papers.

My time may be running out too.

Tomorrow's headlines may be the news of my disappearance.

The data I compiled may disappear from the internet soon.

Sir, Kittu owns a 12 acre property by the water reservoir at Redhills.

That area has been a military base for the Britishers during World War 2.

There are a few tunnels connecting to the reservoir.

This is very fishy, sir.

Sir, I got his location!

It's underground at Redhills in the outskirts of Chennai city.

Sending you the location, right away.

-Comb through that area. -Yes, sir.

Come along.

An old man taught me to question everything since a kid.

He had a cane which not just supported him to walk,

but in rare instances,

came in handy to whoop people up.

(panting)

(in Hindi) Stay alert, all teams! Cover every inch.

You will split yourselves into two teams.

-Team Alpha-- -Sir, we have eyes on the bunker.

Sir, some boys dug up the trenches, two night ago.

Locals have also spotted foreign vehicles entering.

Can we ask them to scour the place for traps?

-Bomb squad! -There may be landmines anywhere.

-Careful and watch your step. -Squad checking, sir.

(beeping)

There's an active mine that can explode any minute!

Save yourselves, officers!

Are you'll okay?!

Our land has seen many invasions over time.

The invaders always lost. Every single time.

The one who declared all lives equal 5000 years ago,

and the people who stood by the shore with flags 8 years ago...

That wasn't something they learned.

It was something innate.

One person questioning isn't sufficient.

All 8 crore people must stand united to question.

Everyone must. For every single thing.

Indian websites struggling with largest cyber attacks.

Anonymous hactivist has taken control over.

The newly contained 18,000 pages involving Shri. Abhyankar,

the new candidate nominated for the president the nation--

Emails and phone records of presidential candidate Mr. Abhyankar

have exposed corruption worth nearly 68 lakh crores.

The police are trying to deduce the origin of the breach.

After the leaks, the entire state breached websites

are now not accessible.

The entire state wants to know

if it's a political bonanza against the presidential--

I need to talk to him right now! Is there a way to reach him?

No, sir. Only if he calls.

(in Hindi) I'll give you a minute.

If you don't surrender,

I will blast through these doors and enter in.

I tried to stop them

and tried to beg them, but in vain.

(phones ringing)

But the party no longer favors you.

President or not,

your protection is mine to bear.

You need not come to Delhi. Not immediately, at least.

After a three hour long meeting held with the Members today,

the party has decided to nominate a new candidate replacing Shri. Abhyankar.

Abhyankar is no more a presidential candidate, as the Delhi sources say...

Selecting a new nominee is a bumpy ride with all the allegations by the new--

In response to the series of allegations,

Delhi has decided to replace Abhyankar with a new presidential candidate.

Sir, there are many trenches with too many traps.

This isn't the right time as well to identify them.

There are tunnels through this bunker which we have no clue about.

Sir, I found a blueprint of the bunker.

Tunnels are around three kilometer radius.

They say these type of bunkers have two floors.

All the tunnels are directed towards the city.

We've also sent in four teams to map them.

(phone rings)

(intense music)

(siren wails)

-(in Hindi) Proceed that way. -Found a way to get in, sir.

Get in, then.

-Get here! -I will be there, sir..

(in Hindi) Sir, B2 team are in the tunnel.

(upbeat music)

We have surrounded the place. Everything's under our control.

He wants you to come in, in exchange for Peroz ji's son, sir.

(siren wailing)

Teams, be ready to fire on command.

Sir, maybe... You don't have to do this.

I better kill him with my own bare hands.

(thundering)

Release him.

(tyres screech)

(muffled) Hey, untie me.

Get here, quick.

Hey.

Look who's here with us.

Sir, the Mumbai Commissioner on line.

Ram.

Peroz ji's son was found in Juhu Beach alive.

-Sir? -He's messed with us all!

Peroz ji's son isn't in the bunker.

(intense music)

Sir, Kittu's on line.

Why?

Why put in so much efforts just to lose?

What will the people benefit by Kittu standing up to Abhyankar?

Tell me, will your efforts really benefit them?

People like you are a mere disturbance.

You just stall the development of the country.

Ram sir, I hope you remember you're the first graduate in your family.

You've surpassed many trials and tribulations to serve our nation from quota.

You now hold a prestigious position of safeguarding our nation from terrorists.

Although you're educated, you still obey these fools.

Only because you'd lose your job like these scums fear losing their power.

Ask a poor guy how "developed" we are.

Four hundred years ago, just eight Britishers arrived in Calcutta.

They feared even a single stone Thrown at them would send them back.

Because no one did, we were enslaved for 400 years.

If we don't throw the stone on time,

history will damn us as cowards.

-I've taken on that duty. -Duty, my foot.

You've achieved nothing!

The nation strongly condemns

the illegal disclosure of classified information.

Also, deeply regrets the disclosure of any information

that was intended to be confidential.

All those 12 years of slander against me

won't hold up in court.

By dawn, 40 headlines will flood the papers

protests staged, schemes unveiled,

a cricketer's farewell, scandals unleashed.

And your news will vanish in the noise.

Why don't you do this?

Step into politics and challenge me on the democratic front

with Z type of security.

In two years, I will make you sit on a throne.

Like the deal?

I'd rather see you die with government honors than as an extremist.

Leave the governance to us.

Be where you deserve to be.

Many Kittu like me will come to revolt.

And they will hold you responsible.

Don't you dare mess with me. I'm a multi headed snake.

There will be many heads even if one goes down.

You have to be held accountable for your sins.

Even God lost count of the sins I've committed.

(intense music)

(epic music)

(flesh squelches)

(thundering)

(officers yell)

(guns firing)

(melancholic music)

Kittu...

You wanted to know where you're from, right?

See that hill?

You were born on that hilltop.

(thundering)

(woman wails)

(woman cries in pain)

(baby coos)

(baby cries)

The departed have become the wind,

the living press heavy on the soil.

Like the roots of the banyan tree that sheltered us all...

God Himself has shown the path...

a seed has sprouted.

It's your time to rule, my child.

(baby cries)

(guns fire)

(walkie talkie beeps)

(in Hindi) Sir, we're exiting from Tunnel 2.

Sir, it's leading us into few more tunnels.

Sir, we've identified a manhole.

(siren wails)

Bravo Team, get to the checking point at once.

Bravo Team is at the checking point, sir.

Hands up! Don't move.

Come with us.

Empty, sir. The right side tunnel is empty.

This tunnel is empty, too, sir.

And there's no way forward.

No sight of the target. Returning to the base camp, sir.

Section Commander, here. No one's around at any tunnel.

Missing, sir.

(machine whirrs)

Not a small time UG group.

Merging along with the people in the city,

we think it has roots since 1960s.

We've to start from scratch.

They've strategically planned this.

Every striker is a recognizable enemy, sir.

A certified criminal.

There is more to witness, sir.

DEOGARH ODISHA

This has the bank details and the monthly deposit amount.

Whatever happens, Kittu said this good deed must go on.

(intense music)

Vembu?

BRAVERY CONQUERS

Subtitles by QUBE

They cast their web of clever lies

Kings and rulers, bold and wise

But never once did they truly see

The people's pain or misery

A lantern burns by the old wood frame

Guarding the dark with gentle flame

Can wind snuff out What still stands bright?

Can storms outmatch That stubborn light?

Held my gains with trembling hand

The ones I loved no longer stand

Tears still quake this silent ground

Will you ever turn around?
