It's been so long since I worked like this.

Like what?

-We're carrying the goods, right? -Oh!

What goods are you talking about?

(playful music)

-It's medicine! -Hmm.

From Ganja to Opium, I've smuggled everything.

When I pick the customer up from the airport,

I'd take the goods too.

If a customer is there, the police won't suspect us.

-Hey! -(man laughs)

You smart rascal! Huh?

During such a day when I picked up Sivendra from the airport,

a problem came up.

Did the police catch you?

It was not the police.

A couple of rival gang members stopped my vehicle

and tried to kill me.

-Mmm-hmm. -Sivendra stepped out of the car

and went after them...

I'm sure you know what happened

-after that. -Yes, yes.

After that, Sivendra told me

-that my driving was pretty classy. -Hmm.

-He told me to stop smuggling Ganja. -Okay.

I stopped everything and joined him that day.

(Muthu chuckles)

Don't you know what Sivendra was up to?

Yes. Of course! (laughing)

-You sly one! -What is this, Muthu? Leave me!

(both laugh)

-(Rasamma) Oh, God! -(bike approaching)

My leg is killing me!

No one's around to take care of me when I'm not well.

She recorded everything on her phone,

and shared it with everyone to get likes! Damn likes!

Look at the daughter-in-law I've got!

Is she even a woman?

Oh, God! It hurts so badly!

She deliberately left the dung

so I would fall and break my leg.

-How dare she! -Hey!

Did you upload the video?

Uh... It got uploaded by mistake.

But we got a million views, dear. The entire village watched it!

Shut your mouth!

You're just here to ruin my life!

(Rasamma) God, it's killing me!

(door creaking)

Sir!

Sir!

Is anyone here?

Hmm?

Sir!

Is anyone here?

Sir!

Sir!

(footsteps approaching)

Sir!

Sir!

Sir!

(Kaalai Pandiyan) Paulraj!

Where did that guy go?

I can't even sleep peacefully for 30 minutes!

Have you eaten it already?

Sir, will you give the reward?

Reward? For what?

I know this guy.

-You know him? -Yes.

Sir... Have a seat, sir.

-I'll be right back. -Come soon.

Hey! Eat this without fighting.

Tell me, sir.

Who are you?

My name is Vijayakumar.

-Oh! Is that so? -I'm a medical rep in Madurai.

Superb, sir. Where did you see him? How do you know him?

He was a mental and admitted in Madurai Mental Hospital.

Huh? What were you doing there?

-I was also crazy. -Huh?

Not full-time.

If I occasionally forget to take my tablets

so they would take me there for treatment.

Did you take your tablets today?

-Hey, Paulraj! -Don't worry. I'm fine.

I forgot to take my tablets three years back.

I saw him when they took me for treatment.

Sir, do you know what he did one day?

Huh?

My reward?

(sudden gasp)

(muttering) He might bite me!

Hmm?

Tell me.

(man) 106, 107...

(man counting in the background)

Can you see God?

(bell chimes)

No!

You can't see it.

(scraping of stone through soil)

(playful music)

(man) Get up.

(man) Come and give it.

Can you see God?

Of course!

How is it that you can see God but I can't?

Yes, how can you see God when we can't?

I can see clearly.

Wait, I'll bring him.

Come.

I'll show you God!

-I can see! -Can you? Very good.

Don't you want to see God?

Come.

(grunting) Come!

Come!

Come!

(gasping)

(playful music continues)

(playful music continues)

(grunting)

(both men grunting)

(both grunting)

(Muthu grunting)

(panting)

(swish of footsteps on grass fading away)

(mystical music)

(flies buzzing)

(crickets chirping)

(goat bleating)

Hey, Kaalaiya.

What?

-Your wife never listens-- -Oh, my mother!

Let me change my uniform first. Huh?

Don't start already!

(weary exhale)

Lalitha.

Lalitha.

Where did she go?

Hey!

(footsteps approaching)

Lalitha!

Lalitha!

Where is she?

(crickets chirping)

Lalitha!

I can't find Lalitha. Where did she go?

You've come without changing your uniform.

Am I allowed to talk now?

She's not here. Where did she go?

She got angry and went to her parents' place.

She got angry?

What the hell did you do?

I already broke my leg. What can I do?

Around 3:00 p.m., she ate well.

Then she stuffed her clothes in two bags

and said she was going to her father's.

Think I can run and catch her?

(muttering) Do whatever you want!

Maybe I should go somewhere, just to get away from you.

(fan whirring)

All of this happened before.

You shouldn't tell anyone about your past connections.

Because it could jeopardise your political career.

I'm not going to talk about that.

They will definitely ask about Muthu and Sivendra.

What's the connection between them and me?

I'll only share what people already know

and what's already in the Kerala Police records.

If they want to know more

let them find out.

As an MLA, there is no legal problem for us.

Mmm-hmm.

Okay.

I'll talk to them.

If they ask you any uncomfortable questions

you don't have to answer.

Even if they insist!

(long exhale)

-Hello, sir. -Hmm.

-Hi! Welcome. -Sidharthan.

(door closes)

-Sir, I'm Thangamudi. -Hello.

-Good morning. -Sit down.

I know you're very busy.

So, I don't want to take much of your time.

I'll get straight to the point.

What's your relationship with Muthu and Sivendra?

Who are Muthu's enemies?

Who would've done this?

Do you know anything about the orphanage bomb blast?

Please tell me.

Even if you told us who wouldn't have done this, it would help.

Huh?

We don't need that?

Where did it happen?

Near Theni.

We have no evidence about who we should suspect.

In Kerala, Muthu was Sivendra's right hand.

Like a personal assistant.

He was taking care of his orphanage.

Oh!

Sir, what is Sivendra's business?

Does he have any enemies?

Sivendra's family ran a logistics business in Kochi.

They ran a stevedoring and jewellery business.

When I was struggling with my timber business

he was of great help.

-Oh! -It happened years ago.

After that, there were no financial dealings between us.

He would come... I own a resort in Odanad.

Whenever Sivendra came,

he would stay there. -Okay, sir.

Let's talk about the bomb blast.

If you know anything about that

it'll be really useful for us.

Please tell me.

Hmm...

Earlier, a person named Johny used to be Sivendra's business partner.

After that, they separated.

One day, Johny came to meet Sivendra in Mattancherry.

I came there to pick him up

and take him to my resort in Odanad.

Is the vehicle's condition okay? -Hmm.

Did you check?

Yes, I did.

(man in Hindi) Just ₹10 crore will get my work done.

(Sivendra in Hindi) Hey, you won't get a single paisa.

Forget it!

(Sivendra in Hindi) Come, come.

Let me introduce someone to you.

How should I introduce you?

Johny, Raju or some new name?

Hi.

I'm Johny.

(tense music)

Because of what he did

I spent five years in jail.

One year in Sahiwal jail in Pakistan.

And, four years in Tihar Jail.

And, now you're here to ask me for crore of rupees?

There are two sides to every coin.

-Should I tell them, Siva? -Yes, tell them.

Not just him, tell the entire universe

how I saved you in Kandahar!

-There's still time, Johny. -(Johny sighs)

To repent for your mistakes.

Will you keep on giving advice?

I'm not here to take advice.

I need help right now. I'm asking for my share.

I'm not here to beg.

However much money I take from you, I'll give it back 10 times over!

Johny.

I'm not interested in the business

which gives 10 times more money.

In your arms and drug business... I'm not interested!

Forget it! Okay?

Okay then.

You're not able to understand.

Your old friends from Bombay

suspect you of snitching on them!

-They're quiet because of me-- -Are you threatening me?

I didn't say that.

I know your friends.

I know how to deal with them too.

-Mmm-hmm. -Get lost from here.

(shouting) Get out!

Muthu!

I'll show myself out.

This...

This won't end here.

You're not in your senses.

(weary exhale)

(Sivendra gasps)

I suffered a lot because of him.

(in Tamil) He absconded with a large amount of heroin consignment.

Because of him, the drug cartel came looking for me.

I had to associate with some dangerous people in Bombay.

With their help, I traced him in Afghanistan.

But they arrested me in Pakistan.

Because of the prisoner exchange program

I was in Tihar for four years.

All because of this bastard!

I lost my family.

All I have... is you!

And the kids in the orphanage.

(distant man talking)

Sivendra filed a complaint with the police

that Johny threatened him for money.

But, Johny had a lot of dealings

with the people who were in power at that time.

So, the police didn't take up this case.

(Benny) After that, Johny and his gang attacked the orphanage.

(Sindhu screaming) Muthu!

(screaming amidst deafening blast)

(screaming in the background)

(kids screaming)

(kids' screaming continues)

(kid crying)

(grunts)

Don't get up.

Don't get up, Muthu.

-(Muthu) Sindhu! -Don't.

Don't move.

-Sindhu? -(Jessy) It's nothing.

(Muthu) Sindhu?

(soft piano notes)

(grunts)

We lost Sindhu, Muthu.

(mournful melody)

(distant traffic sound)

Muthu was deeply affected after Sindhu's death.

He was heavily injured.

He was on the verge of ending his life.

During that period, Sivendra stayed in Kerala for a long time.

(Benny) He took care of Muthu like his own son.

Where is Muthu?

Muthu didn't come here.

(crickets chirping)

Muthu, the case judgement has come.

Johny got a 14-year life sentence.

I understand, Muthu.

Not just this judgement,

nothing can bring Sindhu back to us.

Also, everything is not over yet.

Why does this only happen to me?

No, Muthu.

That's not how things work in life.

At every stage of our lives, we have to lose something.

We must get past it.

I've already lost a lot and moved on, Sivendra.

How much more can I bear?

It's not only about you, Muthu.

What else is this?

Just like Sindhu is irreplaceable to you,

you are irreplaceable to us.

In the circle of life,

the presence of people like you is so important, Muthu.

(Kuttu) Muthu.

Eat this.

You should eat well and have a good sleep.

Sindhu will appear in your dreams every day and share stories.

(stirring music intensifies)

(birds chirping)

(birds singing)

It looks so beautiful, doesn't it?

I thought this beautiful world was mine,

I felt on top of the world.

We did everything in that euphoric state.

We were kings, bloodstained!

I later came to realise something.

All of these are… Temporary!

The world is a stage, and everyone plays their part.

One day, this act will come to an end.

(sighs)

The spectators will leave.

We will step off this stage as well.

Sindhu has now left the stage.

That's the way life goes.

I can't make sense of it.

I don't know how to just stand by and let life happen to us.

A life that was with me yesterday is gone today.

I don't know how to comprehend it.

I won't forgive myself for what happened.

(in Hindi) Hey, Muthu.

There was a time when you help people change their life.

Now change yours!

(transcendent music swells)

(low elephant rumble)

(elephant rumbles)

(triumphant music)

Johny set up a gang from Tamil Nadu to kill Sivendra

while he was in jail.

This gang is from somewhere in Dindigul...

Madurai Murugaraj...

I don't recall the name correctly.

I got this information.

(Benny) Sivendra visited the jail to meet Johny regarding this.

(metallic door opening)

(distant chatter in Malayalam)

(in Hindi) What is it, man?

Why have you come here? Hmm?

I know you have ordered a hit job against me.

Mmm-hmm.

It won't be easy.

But I know the devil that resides inside you.

He wins sometimes.

I will make it easy.

I will be successful too.

Johny.

I haven't come here to beg for my life.

If I cared about my life, I wouldn't have saved you in Afghanistan.

And if you had given me my share

we wouldn't be here now. -Your share?

Johny, do you know how many people have lost their lives...

because of your drugs?

How do you have a right over that money?

I don't have a right over it either.

That money will be given to those who really need it.

Do you consider yourself to be God?

Get lost!

Who the hell are you to lecture me?

Look, Johny...

I am not scared of death.

But the people who work for me

are not like you.

They will try to destroy you.

And I don't want them to get burnt in this fire.

That is why I have come here. You have to stop.

Get lost!

Don't teach me!

Go and make your boys understand!

Because they are the ones who will die.

And let me give you some advice before you leave.

Only death can free us of this vicious circle we are stuck in.

I made a mistake that day.

I cut off the fingers...

I should have gone for your head.

Hey, get lost!

(rattling music)

Sir, do you know anything about Johny or where he is now...

He must've been released from jail.

-But I don't know where he is now. -(distant ship horn blares)

Sir!

Could there be any connection between Muthu's death and Johny?

No idea. But Muthu had a lot of money that Sivendra gave him.

Yes, yes. He spent money like it grew on trees!

Sir, he gave money to even get goat dung!

Sir.

Do you know anything about the source of Sivendra's money...

He had his family business.

Narottamdas Jewellers.

In the 90s, they opened a lot of branches in South India.

But I don't know why,

he shut down everything in 2004,

saying he was done with it all.

That was his source.

Johny somehow caught wind of it and came asking him for money.

Oh!

You said he has a lot of money. Do you know exactly how much?

(intense music builds)

(in Hindi) My connections in the Mumbai underworld

became very much useful.

I could calm down Johny's creditors.

When Johny was in jail, I found his hidden stash of cash.

Then I thought this money shouldn't go back into the drug network.

We should use it for a good cause.

I was in that jail for four years.

When I got out of prison, legally I was clean.

(upbeat music)

(slick, rhythmic guitar music)

(heavy thud)

(gritty music intensifies)

(crickets chirping)

(intense music)

After he shut down his business, he had ₹250 crore in cash.

Everything's white.

But he wanted no one to know.

That was why we brought money through the sea.

Yeah, yeah. If you had come by road, it would've been a risk to you.

Sir, all the departments would've

extracted money from you! -Mm-hmm.

Sir, why did Muthu leave the orphanage?

Sivendra left to Mumbai after leaving the orphanage in my

and my sister Jessy's care, in 2009.

He said no one should contact him until he returned.

He's always like that.

After Sivendra left, Muthu stayed here only for a short while.

He went to Madurai after that.

The only news about Muthu after that

was what you just told me.

Sir, where's Sivendra now?

(crickets chirping)

(footsteps approaching)

Hey!

I want to tell you guys something.

I'm leaving the country tomorrow.

It'll take some time for me to come.

You won't be able to contact me.

If Johny isn't handled, it won't end well for any of us.

(Sivendra) Johny's matter needs to be settled once and for all.

If I don't come back in three months,

think of this as our last meeting.

You don't have to go to the police, no matter what happens.

Think that I'm here with you. That's enough.

Keep handling the orphanage and the kids like you have always done.

I've taken care of everything.

Everything will go smoothly.

There's no problem.

(low rumble of thunder)

Any questions?

No questions?

Let's drink!

-Cheers! -Cheers!

Cheers, Muthu!

I've told whatever I know.

All of this is in Kerala Police's record too.

Hmm.

Sir, tell me if you have Babu's or Bastin's number.

After Sivendra left, they went somewhere, just like Muthu.

Sivendra might've asked them not to be here.

No idea.

I understand, sir.

You don't want your name to be involved in this.

-And now, you're an MLA as well! -(laughs)

Anyway, nice meeting you.

How did you come?

-Should I drop you? -No need, sir.

We're staying nearby.

-We like to walk, sir. -Hmm.

-Good luck. -Thank you.

If you need any help in Kerala

contact me. Okay? -Sure, sir. Thank you so much.

-Bye. -Thank you.

(engine starting)

Start the car.

Jessy and Benny aren't telling the whole story.

Sir, why are you saying that?

They're only telling half of the story.

They're hiding many things.

-Oh! -Where is Sivendra?

-Hmm. -What happened to Muthu?

-Oh! -There's some mystery in this.

I feel like

all of them are hiding something. -(mobile phone rings)

I'm not able to figure out what it is.

(mobile phone rings)

Hello.

-(in Malayalam) Sir, this is Laiju. -Laiju?

Uh... Tell me, Laiju.

A woman who knows Muthu has come here from Tamil Nadu.

-What should I do, sir? -(dramatic music surges)
