Here are few facts about sage Aghathiya.

5000 years ago, in South Tamil Nadu....

Tamilians invented the ancient martial art game known as 'Silambam' (Stick Fighting).

The history about it speaks for itself.

It was here, on the south side of Pothigai hills that sage Aghathiya...

mastered in 'Silambam' before he mastered in 'Yoga' and it's healing methods.

In order to defend himself from wild animals that disturb him during his meditation...

he innovated 'Silambam' by tying a blade at the tip of the stick.

'Silambam' became Tamilians' defense mechanism and...

'Silambam with Blade' became a Valor sport.

'Silambam' became the weapon of valor and defense.

Today, the art of 'Silambam' still continues to be a part of the Tamil culture.

'Silambam' doesn't signify Valor alone. It also signifies Honor and Sentiment...

and that is what this story of 'Muthuramalingam' is all about.

A cotton field full of cotton buds and cottons....

and you let 2000 goats graze on it. Do you think anything will remain in the field?

People like you can make a living anyway.

But farmers have no choice. They live at the behest of the rain gods.

Such farmers are unable to cultivate and are forced to sell their yields at cheaper rates.

As a result, around 15,000 farmers are committing suicide every year.

Over that if you create such troubles then this family's plight will be the same.

He sold his wife's jewellery for 50,000 bucks in order to cultivate his land.

You've destroyed it.

Look here!

If you really care, then either give this family a compensation of 50,000...

or give them 10 of your goats.

Do you have any idea how much goat meat sells for?

Right from Chennai to Kanyakumari it is 500 bucks per kilo.

And each goat I own weighs around 20 - 30 kilos on average.

And you want me to give them 10 goats, like it's no big deal?

I can spare some 2000 - 3000 bucks.

Dare you!

How dare you talk like that in Panchayat?

Take away all his goats and lock them up.

Mookiah Devar!

How about a goat fight challenge?

If you win it...

I shall hand over 10 goats plus the goat that loses the fight.

Do you dare?

You!

I am ready to challenge you and your fighting goat!

Bring it on! Release your goat!

Bravo! Atta boy!

Go ahead, release it!

Excuse me. Please move.

Move.

Move!

Either way the meat is mine.

Ok now that's unexpected. This one looks quite dangerous.

Well, I don't wants this goat's meat.

It has way too much of cholesterol!

And so do you!

Hold on! Hold on!

What is it?

Your brother is about to get into a fight.

Is it?

Yes! Indeed!

The fight is about to begin! The fight is about to begin!

Hello! Now listen to this...

Who is it?

- You know what? Did you hear? - What?

Here it is! Muthuramalingam is about to get into a fight.

What?

The fighting goat is huge! Make it fast!

Dear Muthuramalingam!

Keep the spices ready mom!

Now what's happening?

Don't you worry. Just wait and watch.

Ready! Set! Go! and Dash!

Dash it like that!

Now give me my notebook! Give it!

Stop showing your dashing skills to a kid!

Try me!

Don't provoke me sir!

I said try me!

Dash it and crash it!

Behold! Here comes Muthuramalingam! The lion in the south!

Behold! Here comes Muthuramalingam! The lion in the south!

Behold! Here comes Muthuramalingam! The lion in the south!

The nature here bows at our style.

The nature bows to us!

Nothing can stand against the daring nature of ours.

Nothing can stand against it!

Confidence and courage is what we are made up of.

Confidence and courage!

We treat our guests like gods.

Just like gods!

We chased away those who tried to enslave us.

We are intolerant towards injustice.

Hey beautiful women of the land...

Hey you birdies...

How about singing a folk song for our very own Muthuramalingam?

Folk song?

Now who uttered "Folk song?"

That would be me!

You fool!

There are various kinds of folk songs. Which one do you mean?

Tell me folk!

His name stands for Valor!

Apart from that it also signifies Honor!

All you cowards and back stabbers...

step out and you'll face the wrath of Muthuramalingam!

We shine wherever we set our foot steps.

Yes we shine!

We abide by law and strive for the betterment of humanity.

Yes we strive for it!

We are big-hearted!

Yes we are!

No matter where we go, we are always loyal to our motherland.

Behold! Here comes Muthuramalingam! The lion in the south!

What's up Grams?

Stop showing off and move!

You better watch out!

I step out of town and you create a ruckus in the town?

I heard you finished off a fighting goat?

Yeah! So what?

You'll be a goner if I report this to Blue Cross!

It was an open challenge and I accepted it!

An open challenge?

Open challenges in Panchayat have gone extinct!

Warriors who once used to accept open challenges...

have now retired.

They are now leading a retired life.

Who does your dad think he is? The Panchayat head?

Or is he a qualified advocate?

Or is he the judge at Madurai High Court?

All the customs, weddings to funeral that takes place here...

should get my approval! Now get lost!

Go, let your dad know about this!

Ask him to quit heading such open challenges in Panchayat and rest at home or else he'll face my wrath!

Get lost or I'll stamp you down!

What happened Grams?

Why is your face painted all red? Why are you lying here?

Doofus! Can't you differentiate between paint and blood?

I got a dashing from Mookiah's son!

Damn it!

Didn't I just top up the mobile balance?

Now hang up! I'll call you after reaching home.

There you are!

So how was the mutton gravy?

I heard it was you who had major portion of it!

Look, in a way I could be your boy friend.

Let me know and I own 2000 goats,

I shall spare you few more.

Look! Me and my family aren't a bunch of gluttons!

We are known for our Valor and pride!

If my brother finds out about this...

he'll skin you alive.

Get lost!

- Get lost! - Wait and watch! I'll tell on you to my brother!

Stop boasting about your brother!

What happened dear? Why are you crying?

Ezharai Pandi harassed me! He hurled a paper rocket at me!

Get on the bike!

I said get on!

We treat sisters like deities.

It's on! The fight is on! It's on! The fight is on!

- When will he return the money? - In 2 - 3 days.

Uncle!

Muthuramalingam and Ezhara Pandi are fighting.

But why?

Who know? It's a fight!

Where?

In middle of the town!

Come on!

The fight is on!

How dare he harass my daughter!

Butcher him Muthuramalingam!

Uncle! Don't you butcher him down!

Stop yelling!

Where is he?

Inside.

Break the door!

Break it!

Drag him down here.

Doesn't he pay his electricity bill?

What happened?

He is missing.

Come on!

Let's catch that scoundrel!

Uncle! Don't finish him off!

Uncle! Don't run so fast! I am unable to keep up with you!

Tell me where is the whole family headed?

To Pandi's house right?

Why run? You guys could have hired a rickshaw!

Break it! Break it down!

How dare he mess with us?!

Hold this.

Is your attire wearing off?

This won't work out.

Listen...

Run down to that shop and buy as many notebooks you can for 500 bucks.

For 500 bucks we'll get 10 notebooks and a cool drink.

Cool drink?

I'm exhausted after all that running!

- Get lost! - Oh! Oh!

Don't stop! Keep hurling!

Here is 500 bucks. Give me 10 notebooks.

Make it quick!

Nice decision to get educated at this age!

Wait! I'll get done there and then do the same thing to your house!

This guy here mocked me! We must hurl stones at his house too!

Listen!

- Yes uncle. - Call up Mayilsamy!

You mean the movie star Mayilsamy?

I meant the scientist Mayilsamy Annadurai.

Ask him to get us a real rocket!

I don't mind if it'll cost me my whole wealth. I'll get a rocket...

I'll launch it on his house and destroy it!

How dare he harass my daughter!

Uncle do you really mean it?

Yes I mean it!

Now go call him up.

Call the ambulance.

Uncle. Please forgive us.

Get up dear.

I agree that it's my husband's fault.

I very well know that we can't mess with you and live peacefully here.

Please don't harm him.

Look here dear...

this is Mookiah Devar's dynasty.

We value our honor and pride a lot.

In fact we value them more than our lives.

We'll go to any extent to keep our family's honor intact.

A good dynasty comes from living up to one's words!

Where as only cheapskates play with words!

Uncle, I promise he won't repeat it.

Listen! If he repeats it...

the your husband will be beheaded.

Leave it.

She has been pleading long enough.

An apology?

Her husband deserves to beheaded for his actions.

Isn't it?

Yeah right!

Do that and head to prison!

Now see what your dad said?

Give a chance and he'll push me into prison.

He has a very big heart! Just like his mustache!

Indeed!

Now go draw me a bath.

I can't! Her husband's actions must be questioned!

Shut up!

Hot water bath right?

- Fool! - Alright I'll get it done.

Look here dear.

A burn wound is not poisonous.

All our anger has resided. Don't worry. You leave.

Leave. Don't worry we won't harm him.

How dare you go plead for forgiveness?

Instead of pleading forgiveness to Mookiah you could have committed suicide.

It is said that in order to ditch our own people we must be very patient.

Mark my words, Mookiah will die at my hands some day!

Get lost!

There is the bus.

Get down! Get down!

Please get down.

Go!

A brand new utensil! Time to flick it.

You are good for nothing! You can't even buy me a utensil!

I pity myself for getting married to you!

There is no way out of this wedlock nor it is easy to live with you.

I blame fate!

You could've better married a utensils dealer instead.

You could have got many utensils.

All you need is a utensil right?

I shall return only with a utensil. No matter what.

I better flick this utensil.

Please take care of your belongings

My dear wife, I have got what you want.

I hope now I'll get what I want

Come on.

Why is she getting off her seat?

Don't turn. Keep walking backwards.

What's with the reverse play?

Times are tough.

Next stop! Get down.

Get down! Get down!

She is a beauty!

Thank god he left with her.

Good times are here.

This town is Pathetic.

There is nothing but stones here. Get down! Get down!

It stinks!

I hope the conductor doesn't find out.

Now, what's with your fishy look?

ginal..ginal..Original!

Here is a new utensil.

But then she'll question me where I got it and ask me the receipt.

Idiot!

S.M Murugan store.

Let me find out how much a utensil like this will cost.

Greetings.

Yes Singam. What's up?

I just wanted to know how much would a utensil like this cost?

You should know if you bought it.

My wife bought it from your store and it was your wife who sold it to her. That is why I am asking.

Pay me 100 bucks and I'll tell you.

Well, then let me go tell your wife about your mistress.

It costs 700 bucks. Now leave.

That's better!

Looks like his mistress has better control over him.

I'm raging fire!

Try me!

What are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

Looks like a new utensil.

Well looks like you are gonna get lucky tonight.

Now stop joking! Just like your dad.

Fine. I'll leave.

Where to?

Hop on.

I'll drop you.

Only on one condition.

No matter what happens to those sticks but my utensil should reach unscratched.

Otherwise my wife will be upset.

Now come on. Hop on.

Hand me those.

Go tell that I'm back!

I'm back with a new utensil!

Quiet or I'll leave you stranded half way.

Careful.

These sticks might poke someone's face.

Stop! Stop!

Why are you all crying?

A girl deceived us and took away all our money.

Please help us. Get us back our money.

This girl is from your place.

I can't do anything about it.

Why do you think so?

We know you fight for justice.

Please come. Help us get out money back.

Who is she?

Point me to her.

It's her.

Look at her attitude.

Check if she is drunk.

Hey lady!

Tell me dear.

What makes me dear to you?

Then what makes me your lady?

Fine!

Why did you deceive these kids and take their money?

What?!

I deceived them?

What do you mean?

They lost the bet.

- A bet? - Indeed.

Aren't you a grown up?

Return their money.

No. I won't.

Why don't you try winning a bet with me?

Fine.

What's the deal?

I will lie down.

You must turn me over.

Did I hear that you'll lie down and...

he should turn you over?

I've never heard of such game. Guess you invented it.

How much is the bet?

100 bucks.

What are you wondering?

Take out the money and bet.

Give me that.

Oh! Oh!

The money has found the ATM. Only way to take it out is by using your card.

Lie down.

Look at that. That was quick!

Ok!

No! No. No.

Little more above.

Not allowed.

Ok. Allowed.

She looks rock solid!

- Obviously! She looks solid. - She is rock solid!

Well that is why she is immovable.

Make it fast.

Win the bet!

Arrgh!

Come on! You are an expert in games more fierce than this but look at you now.

Do something!

Body shake! I saw that!

No! No! No!

We'll lose 100 bucks. Are you fine with it?

Yes! Yes!

Don't you touch me there!

Did you watch that? He even took the bubble gum out of her mouth.

It's unfair.This ain't fair.

You were asked to turn her over and see what you made the children watch?

Look, you lost the bet. Give us the money now.

Take it. Get it.

- Bro! - What can we do about it?

You cheated.

I won't return your money.

He cheated?

Listen to me. You know what...

It's quite heavy.

I think the owner had filled it with snacks.

There is no one around.

Let me get in and check what's in it.

It's tight.

What if it's full of gold? I'll be rich.

Oh my god! Guess he died laughing.

What is he doing inside the damaged house?

Who's that?

Come here.

Sir? Wait.I'll be there in a moment.

What are you doing here in the dark?

Sir, I was taking a leak.

You mean in the utensil?

Nope. Outside.

You said you were taking a leak inside...

but now you change it to outside?

Why are you blabbering?

Tell me the truth.

Did you take a leak inside or outside?

I took a leak outside.

A guy was beheaded in town.

We found the body but we are yet to find the head.

If you find the head anywhere, can you bring it to me?

Let me not arrest you in the name of doubt.

So go home before it's late.

Go! Leave!

Run! Leave.

There you are my dear!

Looks like you finally got me an utensil.

A real man is the one who pleads guilty for his mistakes.

But the one who gets bashed for no reason and yet shows love by buying stuffs is my Man!

Move away you pot head!

Where did he go?

Dear?

Dear!

What is it?

Why are you hugging the utensil instead you could hug me?

Well, I could do that to someone else for a change.

Yeah right! You haven't mastered the solo act yet...

yet look at you yearning for a group act!

Group act!

Oops! There goes the utensil.

He can't handle me properly and over that...

Welcome professor.

Greetings Mookiah Devar.

- Muthuramalingam - Yes dad.

Get a chair.

Hope you are doing fine.

I am so happy Mookiah Devar.

I read about you training the youths in Silambam for national level competition.

You don't have to praise me for it.

You train and educate the youths in school.

And I train them to be strong and daring using this sport.

That's all.

Tell me, how can I help you.

It would be great if you can also teach Silambam to the kids at the school.

We are ready to do anything you demand as compensation.

Spare me the formality.

My son, Muthuramalingam is a better trainer than me.

I'll send him. You do the needful.

Happy to hear this.

- See you. - Ok.

Hello Psycho doctor. My husband has turned into a psycho.

He seems to be obsessed with an utensil.

Please cure him doctor.

I am not a Psycho doctor.

I am a doctor who treats the psychos.

So, get your husband.

Ok Psycho Doctor.

Naughty woman!

Get inside!

There he is.

Wait!

Please come in. Come in.

Welcome you psycho.

Greeting Psycho doctor.

So what are you doing?

I am sitting here and talking to you.

Correct!

I didn't mean that.

What do you do?

I'm a collector!

A collector?

Once the Silambam training is done I collect the sticks from the trainee.

I then clean all the sticks, smooth them with oil and then stack them up in order.

Doesn't that make me a collector?

His activities are very similar to that of a mentally challenged.

Let me treat him by getting into his head.

Does the doctor find me funny?

- He is laughing at me! - I am too not a doctor.

So you are a fraud?

Well, I am your friend.

Sorry doctor.

I don't prefer boys being my friend.

I already have a friend. Her name is Kanchana.

Her name is Conjuring?

Well you can say that. My wife is indeed the ghost from Conjuring.

Excuse me Doctor.

I've a request.

Don't tell my wife what I just said.

You've been locked.

Will you obey me now?

I shall.

I'll give you a Pen.

In return what will you give me?

If Pen is short form of Penny then I shall gift you a grandchild!

Stupid!

If I give you a pen you must give me a pencil in return.

Ok?

Arrgh! What do you really need me to do?

Come to the point.

Give me that utensil!

No I won't!

He is quite stubborn!

What do you have there inside it?

Is that what you want to know?

I definitely wanna know.

- Are you sure? - Sure!

- Really? - I swear!

Then, here take a peak.

What's wrong with the doctor?

I let him take a peak in this.

Now move! Stop pushing me into trouble.

Idiot! Doofus!

I shall introduce you to my friend.

Oh! Oh! What is he doing with her?

That's her.

Viji, this is my brother.

Muthuramalingam.

Oh! Oh! There he goes.

I hope he hasn't told his sister about what happened between us.

Hello.

And now he wants a shake hand?

Ok. I can handle it.

What's with the ticking?

Viji!

Looks like she has fainted.

Get some water.

- Look what you did? - Give that to me.

Sprinkle it!

Viji!

- Wake up! - Viji!

What do you guys feed him at home?

He has a strong head!

Come let's go.

Viji...

this is nothing.

He has defeated a fighting goat!

You are lucky that you have no wounds.

I pet many birds. I'll show you someday.

He defeated a fighting goat!

Dear students.

In today's modern world...

form of arts in our Tamil culture are slowly fading.

In attempt to teach today's generation about it...

we are introducing Silambam as a new subject from today.

Our former student Muthuramalingam...

will be your Silambam trainer. He will be training you all.

My best wishes to all of you, who have turned up to learn Silambam.

- Come on madam. - Yes sir.

Do anyone of you know what is Silambam?

This stick is made out of Bamboo.

It is used to fight.

Anything else?

It's a defense mechanism.

Those are the obvious facts.

There is more to it.

This is an extension of our hand.

Is it? How?

Hands are the first part of our body that helps us to defend when we are weaponless.

So when our hand wields this stick...

it becomes an extension of our hand and saves us.

So wield the stick and make other understand your point.

You seem to be the eldest among all here. So come on.

What are you wondering?

This ain't one of your tricky games.

Wield it.

Now, how about that!

I know Silambam.

So can you teach me anything else?

What was that?

Well, can you teach me Silambam with blade?

Not here.

Come to my place.

I'll teach you.

Listen to me oh spirit!

Tell me who are you?

Where have you come from?

Why have you possessed him? Leave his body!

Hey! I am allergic to dust. I also have sinus problems.

This spirit seems to be literate.

Don't cave in.

It is trying to deceive you.

Leave his body!

I'm sorry exorcist! I can't.

Why?

If I do so I'll be in soup!

What do you mean?

The truth will be out.

What is the truth?

You have no idea. That truth will invite me troubles.

Stop repeating yourself.

Show me what's inside it!

No I won't.

Looks like you won't budge.

Please get rid of this spirit.

You!

It'll cost you extra.

I'll pay anything you demand.

The spirit doesn't seem to answer.

You are right.

The spirit will leave him only if his hair is nailed to a palm tree.

Does it hurt? Does it? Does it?

Hey you! How will that hurt me?

Who the hell are you?

Let's not talk about me.

I know very well what's inside that utensil.

Tell me!

The body is in the town...

the severed head is inside it.

If I rat you out to the cops, you'll be in prison for seven years.

The eight year, they'll hang you.

Please no!

Please don't involve the cops.

Demand me anything.

Give me all your valuables.

What?

Valuables! Now!

Is that all?

Yes.

Hand it over.

Take it.

Is she your mistress?

She has a shiny skin!

Close your eyes!

What's with the one eyed look!

- Are your eyes closed? - Yes!

They escaped!

Get down! Get down!

Look here...

this place isn't like ours.

Here I am the head!

Everyone obeys me here. I rule this place.

You haven't changed a bit.

Don't create a division in this place like you did in the earlier one.

Welcome " Mr. Educated!" How are you?

I am fine.

Who is she?

- This is my wife. - Greetings.

I finally managed to get a transfer to a hospital here, at my native.

Enough of staying away from the family.

So where are your children?

We don't have children.

Don't mistake me.

I didn't mean to hurt you guys.

We shall take leave.

Ok.

Come on.

Come on Nachiya.

Poor souls. It must have hurt them.

Their expression show how depressed they are about it.

Forget it. You didn't ask on purpose.

They won't mistake you.

Isn't he Mookiah Devar?

Indeed. How do you know about him?

He is quite famous for his Silambam skills.

You are quite updated!

Hello!

Yes you!

- Who is she talking to? - Not us.

I am talking to you folks.

First, get down then talk.

Where is Silambam trainer Muthuramalingam's training field?

Who are you dear?

His wife to be.

When husband summons wife must come down.

You look so young.Stop talking like that.

Why did he ask you to come down?

He told me to come down to his place and promised to teach Silambam with blade.

Won't you think twice when a boy invites you to his place?

When that boy is my boy friend, why should I be worried?

Boy friend?

Are you both indeed in love?

Does his parents know about this?

Now, why would his parents know about it?

Why are you both so curious?

Can you tell me where's the groom's training field or no?

You groom Muthuramalingam's training field is by my field.

Come I'll show you.

Hold on!

By walk? That would be time consuming. Get in the car.

Please get in.

Come. Get in.

Get in.

Quick!

Now where do I place this?

All set. Leave.

Stop here.

This is Muthuramalingam's training field.

Have a good look.

Fine. My groom is coming here. Dear elders, please leave.

These elders are so curious to know about us. They ask to many questions.

Do you know who they are?

Your neighbors.

They are my parents.

Oh! Oh! My dear in laws...

please forgive me.

I didn't realize whom I was talking to. Please forgive me.

Forgive me dear in laws.

Only if you forgive me, I shall get up.

Now get up dear.

Don't be worried. Get up.

You seem to be quite an enthusiastic. Tell us about yourself.

Dad, she is Shenbagam's classmate.

My dad is Thenarasu. He is a MLA.

So you are ex-MLA Thenarasu's daughter?

Your dad is a good friend of mine.

Muthuramalingam she is my friend's daughter.

Her dad is pretty close to me. So train her well.

Ok dad.

Come on.

Stand right there.

Watch out. You might get hurt.

This is how you hold a Silambam with a blade tied to it.

Like this.

Grip it harder.

I said stand there. Move!

Viji, get me that cloth.

What are you looking at?

She dazzles with the Silambam..

looks like she is also an expert in love.

Love is an ocean and tough to understand.

Why don't you come to me and teach me more about it.

This is a whole new experience and I am loving it.

This is the world of love and it's time for us to explore it.

There is a lot we could learn in love.

This is our time to get lost in love.

So come to me my love and let's unite.

So come to me my love and let's unite.

Dazzles with the Silambam..

you also seem to be an expert in love.

There is something about you that mesmerizes me.

This is a new kind of experience and I am loving it.

So come to me my love and let's unite.

So come to me my love and let's unite.

She dazzles with the Silambam...

looks like she is also an expert in love

She dazzles with the Silambam...

looks like she is also an expert in love

Muthuramalingam.

Come here.

Come on.

Listen, no one must participate in the Silambam competition to be held in Tirunelveli.

Because everyone who participates in it are crazy.

The don't play fair.

They deny to accept defeat even after losing.

So no one from us must participates.

Got it?

Now, what was that?

Only if we win this tournament we'll be able to progress to district and state competitions.

But he ordered us not to participate.

That's his decision.

But we'll participate and win it.

We'll return with the winners trophy. Come on.

Nachiya, why are you and your son struggling?

Get your son Murugan married and his wife will help you in doing such chores.

See you get it but my mom doesn't.

Men don't have to work round the clock.

That's not the case with us women.

So better you better leave and mind your business.

Come on now.

Keep taunting me like this.

Look at him yearning to get married.

When did she arrive?

Hand it to me dear mother in law.

- I'll take care of it. - Leave it dear.

What's wrong with what that man said?

Your elder son is old enough now.

It's time for him to get married.

Right from childhood I bought them up with intense care.

Yep do that but forget about our marriage.

I've never been away from them.

I cannot live without them.

What if the girl he marries separates us and go live somewhere else?

Come on bringing them up alone isn't your duty.

Are you going to let him be like this until he grows old.

If every mother in law judges her daughter in law like you do...

then no girl will ever get married.

Your advice sounds to me like mother of none is advising a mother of many about having kids.

Well, I am ready to mother many. So first get your elder married and make way for me to marry your next son.

We have been looking for alliances.

I would prefer someone like you.

My elder sister would be a good match for you elder son.

Come down to my home.

If they both like each other get them married.

I like the sound of it.

But your dad and my husband must comply with this idea.

Nothing can be got without a little struggle. No pain, no gain.

It would be nice if it happens.

To Elanji! Elanji!

Better to get rid of it from where I took it.

What's with this utensil Singam Puli? You seemed to be hooked to it?

Have I ever questioned you about you being hooked to that bag?

I could have better had a conversation with her.

Yeah right! I'll let my husband know about this.

Get in. Get in!

Quick!

To Elanji! To Coutallam!

Phew! Escape!

One tea please.

Thanks to the almighty.

So what's the hot news?

Singam Puli!

You'll get on in the bus...

then you'll forget your stuff.

Then later you'll complaint to the cops that you missed it.

And you'll hold the bus conductor responsible for it.

Then I'll have to run around fighting the case.

Take it!

I'll finish you off!

Did you see that?

Your bad luck.

Just like the possessed spirit that won't go away easily...

I wonder what this severed head is going to do to me.

It's good to meet you all after a long time and that too in such an occasion.

Thank my younger daughter Vijaylakshmi.

So I hope there is a feast after the engagement.

Yes but since it's an auspicious occasion the feast is going to be vegetarian.

Come on now. Does that mean it will be the same for the marriage too?

Shut up!

- Did you see that? - Oh come on. Don't scold him.

We all are a family now.

Hands off. That's my wife.

Yes right and with that comes affection and arguments.

Ask the bride to come out.

He seems to be focused.

Please ask the bride to come out.

What are you waiting for?

Come on let's head to the dining area.

Greetings to one and all.

Dear, that is the groom over there.

This is my sister.

Come on. Don't be shy.

So I guess everything is set. Let's fix the marriage and carry out the customs.

Bro!Control yourself!

Calm down.

Groom looks smart.

Viji, let me take a selfie.

Me too.

Shenbagam.

What?

I don't usually fall for any girl.

I've no idea how I fell for you.

A beautiful heart can tame the wildest lion.

Viji.

Can you lie down?

How dare you?

I am excited right now.

So?

You lie down.

I'll turn you over.

Or else I'll keep regretting losing to you in this game.

Get lost.

Now lie down!

Ok! Let me see your guts. Try turning me over.

Uncle.

Why do you stink? Didn't you have a bath?

Why are you planning to buy me scented soaps?

Hey! Hey!

Uncle, there is a couple romancing in the bedroom upstairs.

Go check it out.

Is it? In the bedroom upstairs?

- Yes. - Quick. Don't miss it.

How can I miss it?

That is all I like to do.

What are you waiting for?

Come on. Turn me over!

Wait!

Woah!

What's going on?

Engagement is happening downstairs.

and upstairs the games have already begun.

Nothing like that.

Remember that game?

But doesn't look like that game!

Not it's not like what you think.

Stop playing pranks with me.

Wait, let me go down and inform everyone.

Wait! Wait!

What is it?

You take me along everywhere but left me now while coming here.

Wait and watch what I'm gonna do.

Wait and watch! Wait and watch!

Open your mouth and...

I'll break open it.

No I won't.

Dear, throw away that utensil!

Shut up! Idiot!

So tell me. What there inside it?

Inside it?

Look I won't open my mouth about what I saw upstairs.

Nor will I open my mouth about what's inside this.

See you. See you!

Now move! Stop complaining to others about the utensil!

What's that stinking smell?

Only when I refuse to be the head of the Union of Truck owners, there should be a new one.

Until then I'll be the permanent head of the union!

Please don't harm me.

I promise not to oppose you.

Let me go.

Only those who don't fear death can face me!

Go!

Run for you life!

Why did you let him go?

I let him run so that I can hunt!

No one must find out that we finished him off.

- Ramiah. - Yes dad.

Did you hear the news?

Players from Ilanji are going to participate in the tournament.

They must not participate in this tournament.

My mustache is enough to scare them away in the competition.

We'll pin them down!

The trophy is ours!

So none of you obeyed my words and went ahead to participate in that tournament?

Is that trophy what matters the most to you all?

What answer will I give to your parents if something happens to you all?

Your mother, Velnachiyya, considers you, Muthuramalingam as apple of her eye.

How will I face her?

Look here.

Let this be the first and last time.

Here after I'll decide where, when and against whom you guys must compete.

Am I clear?

Fine.

I hope none of you are hurt.

Why are you all quiet?

Tell me!

What happened?

Dad...

I stabbed 7 - 8 men.

You stabbed them?

Look here.

Real men will come back and avenge face to face after getting stabbed.

Cowards will go to the police.

Let me go meet our region's MLA and try to handle the problem.

Until then go hide somewhere.

What are you waiting for? Go!

I must the first person to bury a head.

6 feet hole for the whole body...

so the head I guess 1 feet will be enough.

What if dogs sniff it out and get me caught?

I better dig a 6 feet hole and bury it deep...

then even the CBI won't trace out.

Looks like digging 6 feet hole will take forever.

I swear I'll never steal again in my life.

Stop trembling!

The incident of how I got murder is something worth trembling!

Really?

My wife and her boy friend Singamuthu...

beheaded me while I was laughing out loud.

Oh my god!

Now, my body remains at the hospital as the head is with you.

You have been struggling with my head for a week now.

Thank you very much.

Are you a ghost?

Do I look like your granny?

If it weren't for you then by now my complete body's postmortem would've been over.

Thanks to you I am a spirit now.

I am going to avenge my death.

Do you need my help?

No thanks and shut up!

Only director Raghava Lawrence helps the ghost.

Indeed.

I'm plan to act in his movie, become famous and will earn the title of 'Ghost' star.

Ok.

You say you wanna be a star. Do you know to sing and dance?

Nope. I bad at both.

Don't worry.

I'll teach you.

Ready...1...2...3....4!

(Song from the Tamil horror movie 'Kanchana 2')

Mookiah!

Greetings.

Isn't Muthuramalingam your son?

Everyone around this region knows that Muthuramalingam is a brave heart.

He is indeed my son.

What is it?

Stop acting like you don't know anything.

Your son and the guys who went along with him to Tirunelveli had a tussle with men over there.

Those who got stabbed are in critical condition.

Is your son a rogue to behave so?

Ask him and the other guys to come out.

He won't come.

If they surrender they can avoid a thrashing.

Or else...

I'll finish each of them in an Encounter!

Even to fire the gun as a warning in a riot, you need IAS officer's approval.

And you talk like an Encounter is a walk in the park?

Don't you know about my boys?

All of them are relatives and carry my family blood.

There are 2000 families in this village.

And all of them are related.

Each family lives in separate houses but...

the bond in between among us is very strong.

You may leave Inspector sir. I'll come down to the police station with my son and the boys.

I don't have to obey you. You aren't my master!

Where are the boys? Ask them to come out!

Or else...

I'll drag you down to the police station.

Stop staring at me!

Having a big mustache doesn't make you a warrior like Kattabomman!

Mind you!

Thrash him down!

Catch him!

How dare you raise your hands on the police!

Muthuramalingam, the police is dragging down your dad by his mustache.

How dare you touch my dad's mustache!

Run! Get lost!

Don't you dare come back here!

Dad, are you alright?

Nothing will happen to me when you are here!

Look here! A man must showcase his Valor!

Mustache is a symbol of Valor!

The mane is the Valor of a lion!

Trunk is the Valor of an elephant!

Venom is the Valor of a snake!

Vision is the Valor of an eagle!

And for my father it's his mustache.

It's his mustache that made my mom fall in love with him.

Even the god's we worship have mustache or else it ain't our deity.

Leaders who fought for our independence,

Veerapandian Kattamboman, Veera Sundaralingar, Veera Azhagumugthu Kone,

Veera Marudhupandian and Maveeran Pulidevan, every one fought sporting a mustache!

Even great Bharathi fought sporting a mustache to chase away the foreigners!

You disrespected our mustache sentiment and that is why I chopped off your hands!

If I can chop your hands then chopping off your head isn't a big deal for me!

I chopped off your hand so that no one in future disrespects the Mustache sentiment of the Tamilians!

Now get lost!

Go let the word know about it!

- Run! - Run!

Bravo!

Now this is real Valor!

When a dog barks all the other dogs start to bark!

Now every time a police disrespects our sentiment...

they must realize what will happen!

Let's hang his hand out there where every one can see it! Come on!

Muthuramalingam has chopped off the hand of a police!

Don't take that lightly!

No matter where we go, our baggage follows us.

Similarly the police will follow us!

I ain't afraid of the police.

But we must respect the law!

They won't face off with us.

So before the police comes down...

I want my family and the family of the 15 guys who went with my son to Tirunelveli, to leave this village immediately.

All the men in the remaining families leave to out of station for few days.

Or else the police may arrest you in charges of assault!

You'll only have time for attending court sessions and cases.

Just for few days.

Meanwhile I'll consult an advocate.

Don't worry about the expenses. I'll take care of it!

So don't be afraid. Leave!

Leave!

A police man's hand has been chopped!

So bring the full police force or what ever required!

Spare none of them in that village!

Arrest everyone!

Sir, it ain't that easy!

Those village people are very dangerous.

Yes sir. They are fearless people.

We'll have to cross 10 villages before reaching Ilanji.

The blocked the path with stones and logs.

If we still go, there are chances many of us might die.

We too have a family and we can't risk our lives.

Greetings sir.

Ok sir.

Sir who?

Yes sir, very good choice.

Depute him immediately.

Thanks sir.

So you guys won't go! Right?

IPS officer Ashok Pandian is on his way!

Remove the hand.

Yes sir!

Greetings sir.

I'm the Village Administrator here.

Is this really a village or a wild forest?

Arrest every men at sight.

Muthuramalingam, who chopped the police officer's hand, his dad Mookiah Devar and his family have absconded.

The families of the other 15 boys have also absconded.

Apart from that...

all the men in this village too have absconded to avoid the police.

Bomabrd the houses of all the 15 guys!

Inform me at once if you get any news about anyone who has absconded.

Where's my uncle?

Come with me.

Greetings uncle.

Dear Nephew! Welcome dear advocate!

What is it?

Are you here to convince us to surrender to the police?

We won't surrender!

I'm not here for that.

I had been to your village for an important work.

The police has rounded up your house.

You don't worry.

30 - 40 of our men are the advocates and judges in the court.

We'll go to the supreme court if required. We will win the case.

Also, there was a courier for you.

Here.

Fine.

Fine. I'll leave now.

Ok. Fine.

Mookiah...

are you stranded?

Now let me add on to your woes.

Out of the 3 children you have fathered so dearly...

one of them isn't your child!

So tell me! Any information on the accused ones?

I inquired everyone around.

The women here are hard to break. They aren't revealing anything.

Criminals will never be within our eye sight.

They will always hide like cowards.

Greetings sir.

11 youths from this village are 12th grade students in a school in Thenkasi.

10 of them are studying in the government school.

Mookiah Devar's daughter alone...

studies at the Sri Venkateseswara matriculation school in Thenkasi.

Today the hall tickets for the public exams are being issued.

You can arrest her if you go there.

Later, that will lead others to surrender.

It's a good idea.

Sir, there is one new information.

A special officer from this area is on his way.

Sir, he ain't like any other.

He is the master mind behind nabbing many top criminals.

He was personally well treated and awarded the doctorate at Brunei university by the Brunei king as an appreciation of his master mind.

He is the only Indian police to have a doctorate.

He is Dr. Rajasekar Kalakeyan.

His foot steps have already landed here.

What's with the muzzle grasp act?

That is what happens when you make me run like a dog!

The horse seems to be tired. Come on let's take it and feed some water.

A racing horse never gets thirsty!

Don't get started!

Muthuramalingam chopped of a police officer's hand.

Now you are here to catch him. Aren't you afraid?

A gas station owner will never fear the fire!

A mouse has meaning to it's life where the cat lives.

But then why are you playing the mouse?

Shut up or else I'll Encounter you!

Look! An educated fellow and that too in this village!

Nothing can go wrong.

20 years ago, in the movie 'Devar Magan', Kamal Hassan had advised youngsters to get educated

Looks like he took it seriously!

No Kaval!

He took it 'too' seriously!

Hey you!

- Kaval! - Sir?

Look at his manners. Proves that he is educated.

Indeed sir.

So tell me. What have you studied?

The epics Ramayanam and Mahabharatham.

The Bible and the Quran.

Arunanoor and the Silapathikaram.

Manimegalai, Siveli Chinthamani, Valayapathi, Kundalakesi, Periyapuranam, Devaram, Thiruvasagam and few more. That's it.

Looks like you are more educated that the great Solomon Papaiya itself.

You can actually jury a debate.

What book were you reading now?

" Wings of fire" by Sir APJ Abdul Kalam.

Believe me! You'll grow into a blazing fire in the future.

Nothing's wrong with the village people.

The fault seems to be with the police.

I am sure the most wanted Muthuramalingam is innocent.

Bro, I don't want to disturb your studies.

At the same time I would like to take a selfie with you.

Pardon?

Can I have a snap with you?

Yeah sure.

Also, please give me an autograph. Please. I would love that.

It's so nice to meet a well educated person.

Similarly if these people can save the farmers then we can save agriculture from real estate people.

Here.

Thanks dear.

May you live long and prosper.

Sir, he is reading Kalam sir's book...

won't you salute him?

Watch me now!

Jai Hind!

See you dear.

Yes sir!

Catch it.

What happened?

That's the way he eats a candy.

Shut up!

Sir, that's my mannerism.

When I was posted in Andhra...

my mannerism was noticed and copied in the movie 'Bahubali'.

But the original rights...

is with me.

I am Dr. Rajasekar Kalakeyan sir!

What?

Kal-el is Kane?

He is the special officer appointed by the central government to nab Muthuramalingam.

Here is the appointment order.

Sir! I'll dig out Muthuramalingam from deep under the ground if required.

If he ain't in land then I'll swim across the whole ocean to nab him!

I'll nab him down even if he is in a different planet!

Now, that's Dr. Rajasekar Kalakeyan for you!

Who awarded you Doctorate?

It was the Brunei king himself who...

What is my next operation sir?

Now at ease!

Else you might be the one who'll need an operation.

Let's go.

Sir! In that case I'll come in my vehicle.

Sir, please no!

He'll make me run, as he rides the horse.

No problem sir!

Though the horse is there...

the horse power is here!

Come on sir!

No!

What is it?

Is it electrocuted?

No sir.

The students and staffs are praying.

If he go now it'll disturb the students.

If we break in...

they'll break down.

Students aren't supposed to be intimidated by the police.

They must respect police!

Dear students...

Your hall tickets for the public exams will issues to you in your respective classrooms

You may collect it.

Excuse me sir.

Yes?

Good morning. I'm Ashok Pandian.

I'm the DSP.

I hope you must have heard.

About the charges on your school's Silambam trainer Muthuramalingam.

I do know.

We haven't arrested him yet.

He remains absconded.

With your permission I would like to interrogate his sister Shenbagavalli.

One second.

Sir?

Please come to my office.

Ok sir.

- Yes sir. - Call Shenbagavalli.

She isn't present at the school today.

Not even to receive her hall ticket?

Just minutes ago her brother Muthuramalingam came and collected it.

You may leave.

Shit! Lock all the gates!

The accused must not escape.

Search!

No one can escape our eyes!

You are right!

Hey boy!

Come on!

Why is he reversing like a car?

Watch me apply the hand brake!

You again?

Do you've an elder brother who reads by the fields?

That was me.

You were in casual dress then.

Here you are in uniform.

I am sure you're talent will someday make you the DSP!

But where are you going now?

To the toilet.

Toilet?

Well that's fair.

So go ahead. Leak as much as you want.

You go take a leak and we'll go nab Muthuramalingam!

Yes!

- Kaval. - Yes sir!

Continue with the rounds!

Ok!

Who let the watchman inside?

- You! - Sir!

Yes sir!

Sir, did you find Muthuramalingam?

Did anyone come this side?

Did you see?

Sir, we both were guarding really strict. Even the wind would've not escaped us!

Then how will a culprit deceive us and escape?

A student came by to take a leak.

I allowed him alone.

You may go check.

What nonsense?

Call him.

Right now he is attending to nature's call.

Go call him!

- Go! - Oh! Sorry sir.

This is the place.

Go check if he is inside.

Sir, he ain't a water pipe to close the tap and stop the water flow.

He'll come out once he is done.

Irritating fellow!

He just abused and left!

Why are you silent?

Oh! He is like the radio station.

We must listen to him.

He won't listen to us.

Now get inside! Check!

- Stop your gossips! - Ok sir!

Student!

Don't worry.

Finish what you came here for.

Make sure you zip up your pants.

Now be calm and step out.

Kalakeya!

Stop being sweet!

- Get inside and check! - Not me! You go!

Sir!

It's way to open space for a toilet!

I can see as far as the neighboring village from here!

Shit!

He has escaped!

Sir, this is the emergency exit via which students bunk school.

Please don't make this a serious issue.

It's like how we enjoyed our school days.

"Student who bunk school grow up to be great minds" claims Dindugal Leoni.

Shut up!

Is this bloody funny to you?

I see both of you dismissed!

Idiots!

He just threatened us and left!

Why are you silent?

His abuse was a small gas leakage. It ain't gonna hurt the ocean much!

Someone has couriered me this letter to confuse me.

But I won't get confused.

I won't believe it!

I believe you!

All 3 of them are my children!

Viji!

The police is here. Jump!

Here I come my dear groom!

Stop!

Water!

Water!

Water!

Look!

You were trained for only 6 months before joining the police force.

But I've been training Silambam since the age of 6.

You can't even chase and outrun the women of our land...

then how do you think you can catch me?

We are like the lion - the king of the jungle!

You would have heard stories about my Valor and modesty but you haven't seen my wrath!

I can finish you off right now, right here!

But I won't do that!

Just because you've sport the mustache of Valor!

Come on! Let's go!

You guys chased him yet you don't recognize him?

He chopped off a police officer's hand!

He insulted the whole police force!

None of the police who saw the chopping incident are ready to come with me!

I haven't seen him yet! Not even a photograph!

Don't you have one?

- No. - Are you making me a fool?

Won't there be even a single photo at his house? Got get it!

You burned down his house the day you came here!

We won't get any there.

Not even from the voters list?

Here is the voters list.

Here.

Now who's this?

Not me!

This is some mistake by the election commission!

I have even heard that Vin Diesel photo was put up in Johnny Depp's voter id!

Let me tell you more!

Even one of our men Mayandi's voter id had...

the photo of the a...

minister from the neighboring state.

So it's a pure typographical error and terror of election commission sir!

You!

Come here!

How long since you are married?

It's been 15 days.

Get me your wedding album.

Go! Get it!

Now what?

Why does he want the wedding album?

May be looking for a bride?

Who cares about that?

No matter what. Let' stay calm!

Yeah. Fine. Alright.

You said something?

Ganga river flows in our country!

Here you go.

Now explain me who are all in this.

This are his parents.

That's his sister.

Where is Muthuramalingam?

I think he didn't attend the wedding.

Sir...

Ex MLA Thenarasu's daughter, Vijaylakshmi...

and Muthuramalingam are believed to be in a relation.

Now wait and watch how I rat him out!

Can we meet sir now?

He is inside...

Not yet. He'll soon be inside!

Please don't shoot!

Lower your Dhoti!

Show some respect to the police!

Welcome DSP sir.

I was expecting your arrival.

Sir, you are a VIP.

I am saying this for your safety.

It's someone from your house, who is communicating with Muthuramalingam.

Ask Muthuramalingam to surrender at the earliest!

We'll spare his life.

And if he doesn't...

then here, I've an order to Encounter him and shoot him!

I'll shoot him down for sure!

Sir, Thenarasu's daughter tried reaching the number 9003849898.

Right now the number is not reachable!

Can you find which area tower signal had that number recorded last?

Krishnapuram village, tower number 2.

Ok.

Sir, that girl doesn't seem to come out yet.

Wait and watch. She'll come now.

Sir! There she is!

Look!

Boys! Listen to my instruction.

Yes sir! Come on run!

What are you doing James?

Look how Kalakeya just raced away.

You guys go follow that girl.

Go. I'll take another route!

When started to run I thought you were about to pull of something special!

I never expected that it was to hide!

I feel ashamed!

Fool!

It is impossible to pull of anything special to catch him! He is Muthuramalingam!

Muthuramalingam knows how to lie low and also when to pounce!

The only thing I don't know about is...Fear!

Come on! Let's head back the way we came.

No Kaval!

Until now we've been seeing only Muthuramalingam's back!

Any minute he'll turn and...

I am going to register his face on my mind!

Look at him go! Those blows sound real heavy!

Sir, look a brick is approaching us.

That is heading somewhere else. Not here.

Sir, why are you down like a hung up mobile?

Join me!

There is always something behind my ideas.

What's the idea?

He'll cross us as he runs away.

That is when I'll get an glimpse of his face and register it!

Did you see his face?

The way he crossed me, I saw everything except his face!

So instead of his face you ended up seeing his...well you know what!

Viji, you leave. I'll take care.

- No but listen to me... - I said leave!

Hey you! Come here.

Greetings sir.

Why are you running?

Who are you?

One of the lamb's kid escaped from the field.

Hence I was...

How do I go to Krishnapuram village?

Follow this road. 2 kms ahead.

Fine. Get in.

I said get in!

Do you know Muthuramalingam?

I do sir.

I hear that he is quite a tough guy?

Indeed he is.

He never attacks anyone from behind.

Even I like cases that challenge me not the silly ones!

Sir...

this is Krishnapuram.

May I leave now?

Ok sir.

Hold on.

Call me if you see him anywhere.

Sir, your phone number?

- "99" - "99"

- "42" - "42"

- "88" - "88"

- "62" - "62"

- "36" - "36"

See you.

Hello?

DSP!

Have you ever met Muthuramalingam?

If you ever come across him...

I'll salute you!

Check your whatsapp message.

I'll have the looks of a daring lion!

Next time I meet you, the bullet in my gun will find your forehead!

I ain't a duck to shoot and hunt!

I am like the eagle!

(Song from the movie "Amaran")

Sir!

I met Muthuramalingam in person!

This is Muthuramalingam!

Stick bills all over with his photo with the heading "Most wanted".

Ok sir.

So that was Muthuramalingam?

We could've nabbed him on our first day at duty here!

But you foiled it! Thinking he was just student, blazing fire...

You saluted him and said he would go on to become DSP!

You made me also salute him.

Wasn't it you who asked me to salute him?

You too are a part of it!

So deleted that photo of mine with him right away!

You were all pepped up while clicking the still?

Over that you got his autograph!

The autograph!

Catch me if you can!

If not watch me play my game!

With rage,

Look at that he is signing off with a rage!

With Rage, Muthuramalingam!

What did you just do?

I'm getting rid of the evidence.

Don't worry we'll nab Muthuramalingam!

No we won't miss!

Where are you off to?

I've been patient enough! You don't seem to change!

If I inform this to Muthuramalingam he'll rip you apart!

Not if I finish you off first!

Stop! I'll finish you off today!

Stop!

I won't rest until I finish you off!

Stop! Stop running!

Dear!

He wants to kill me!

Please save me!

Dear!

It's my husband who is giving police all information about you!

He'll head right to the police now!

You better escape before the police reaches here.

Let fate seal my destiny.

You leave! Please!

Look here.

The police might round us up anytime.

So be careful. Understand?

What is it?

Looks like Grams wife wants to meet you and share something important.

- Go get her. - Ok sir.

Forgive me.

- Please forgive me. - Get up dear.

Why are you pleading forgiveness to me?

Get up.

Get up.

Why are you crying?

It's my husband who is giving police all information about you!

He is a government servant.

He is doing his duty.

Why do you feel bad for that?

For betraying you...

god punished me with no kids in this birth of mine.

You betrayed me?

Yes.

24 years ago you had been to your deity's temple...

Look here Ramiah!

The cultivation land that belongs to the temple trust...

is been used up by your family for generations!

We need to build a temple. So you better evacuate it!

Let the god come down and request...

we shall then evacuate!

Look here! You have nothing to do with it!

There 2000 families that worships this deity!

If there is one real man with guts, in any of these 2000 families,

then face me off in a spear fight and then talk about claiming the land!

I accept your challenge!

Who do you think the land belongs to?

Is it your father's?

It my forefathers'!

So better be careful and reach home safe!

We'll see that!

But after the fight!

Come try me!

Ramiah!

I've just slit your ear for now.

If you invade temple's wealth again...

I'll chop your legs off!

Get lost!

Mookiah!

You can't block me like the water coming out of a tap!

I'm the water that falls down the dams!

Come in my way and I'll finish you off!

Mookiah, who came from Ilanji...

messed with me unnecessarily and he chopped my ear!

File a FIR on him!

Inspector has stepped out. He'll be back any minute.

I said file a FIR!

No sir! FIR cannot be filed without inspector's approval!

- Lawyer! - Sir?

File it!

Inspector!

Don't you mess with us!

We'll finish you off!

Ramiah!

This ain't your accounts to write as you wish!

It's FIR!

Once inked, it becomes questionable in the court!

So! You guys will have a spat over temple's wealth!

Later you all will make peace and celebrate!

I won't charge any complaint on Mookiah!

Aren't you a real man?

Go chop off his ear!

Let him come down to file a case against you.

Then I shall file case on both of you!

Then continue your spat in the court!

Your duty is to abide by the law and file the FIR!

If you wanna talk about the wealth, deal it in the court!

First, file a case on Mookiah and arrest him!

I won't!

What can you do?

You won't?

Ramiah!

We both are descendants of the same dynasty!

We belong to the same community and caste!

I ain't your slave!

I'm like the bullet in the gun.

Don't you trigger me!

I'll destroy you!

I'll file a case on you and your men claiming to have attacked the police!

I'll throw you behind bars!

Be careful!

Inspector!

Your bullet can only pierce my chest...

but my orders can finish off your whole family!

Nothing to worry. The wound will heal in a week's time.

This wound won't heal in one week!

This is a scar for life!

Not here...

but here!

Ramiah!

Mookiah's wife and Inspector's wife are admitted here for their delivery.

Both have delivered baby boys.

I am going to arrange men to finish both Inspector and Mookiah here itself!

The police is everywhere.

Leave.

I said leave!

Dear niece!

Yes uncle.

You must do me a favor.

Mookiah Devar's wife and...

inspector's wife...

both have given birth to baby boys.

Swap those babies.

The only reason your family survives today is because of me.

I knew something was gonna hit me!

It has hit me right on head!

I've been regretting this mistake of mine for years!

I plead you...

Please no!

I am the sinner here!

Let this secret be between you and me alone.

Do not let anyone know about it!

I promise I won't.

Especially my wife. She'll die if she hears this.

Please be careful dear.

Everyone in this village looks furious. Let's leave this place.

I imported horse from the capital in order to nab Muthuramalingam.

That's fine.

You can use that horse for horse riding and make a living out of it.

Kalakeya!

Muthuramalingam!

Sir!

Aren't you here to catch me?

No! Yes!

Only if you have hands you'll catch me. Isn't it?

Now what was that? Instead of chopping your hands off he paid you respect and left?

You won't realize why he did that from there.

Come in front of me.

So was it these men who saved you?

Indeed!

This great leader here is the first person to raise is voice for our independence!

And this great leader here made whole community understand the ways of spirituality.

We should never forget both this great leaders!

Thank you!

Jai Hind!

Move!

Don't be stubborn!

Don't you know that it's a crime to help an accused?

It's the duty of the police to arrest Muthuramalingam and Mookiah.

You must help us.

Got it?

I am not the one to be intimidated by the police or the gun.

I can match you to your wits!

She is showing too much of attitude!

Mind your words or else I'll break your face!

He and his men are hiding like cowards!

Ask him to show up if he is a real man!

Look DSP!

If you a real man with guts then loose the uniform and challenge Muthuramalingam to one on one Silambam with blade fight, like a normal man!

If a drop of blood sheds from Muthuramalingam's forehead...

then not only on him...

you can press any number of charges on all the 15 families!

Slam with prison time for any number of years.

But instead if you bleed from your forehead...

will you clear everyone of the charges and leave our village for good?

I dare you to accept the challenge!

I accept!

Find out from Muthuramalingam when and where?

We must use our brains and powers according to the situations.

But I've no idea how you are going to handle Muthuramalingam.

Sir, there are 3000 cops in Tirunelveli district.

Out of them, 10 are Silambam experts.

I'll fight all those 10 and win them first!

Muthuramalingam will be my 11th opponent.

Sir, even if DSP loses...

we will go arrest everyone at the spot.

What do you mean Ramarajan?

You'll go ahead and arrest...

but then they'll stir off a riot!

Can you fire at the public?

We must be the ones who control riots not the ones who stir it!

It's indeed wrong to have chopped a police officer's hand.

75% of police officers sport a mustache and believe in it's sentiment.

Will we ever spare anyone if disrespects that?

Mr. Ashok Pandian...

Sir!

You can proceed.

I wish you all the best.

Sir.

I've won this battle of Silambam.

But the challenge is to play Silambam with a blade.

I need to get trained on it from an expert.

Sir, there is a person named Ramiah in Tirunelveli.

Bring him in at once.

Yes sir.

- Greetings DSP. - Greetings.

I am Ramiah Devar.

That's my father.

Greetings sir!

I hear that you are an expert in Silambam with blade?

Silambam with blade ain't a walk in the park DSP sir.

Why do you even wanna play this sport?

Are you participating in any contest?

Indeed.

Against an accused.

Ilanji Mookiah Devar's son Muthuramalingam.

He chopped off a police officer's hand.

I'm sure you must have heard.

In order to make them surrender to me...

I must win in Silambam with blade.

I must tear his forehead and make him shed blood.

I'll definitely help you learn it.

I'll be back.

What's with that wicked smile?

For all the embarrassment I faced from Inspector Sethuraman by not filing my complaint...

and for get insulted by Mookiah Devar...

it's time to take my revenge.

This DSP is the kid that was bought up by Sethuraman.

We'll let both their children compete and finish off each other in this competition!

Both their fathers must weep watching their sons die!

You are like half Kshatriyan and half Chanakya!

Nope!

You are a complete Saguni the meddler!

Oh dear lord Ayyiannar!

Please be the savior to my people and my land.

Uncle.

'Lorry' Ramaiah from Tirunelveli has been training the DSP in Silambam with blade.

But I haven't seen you giving any practice to Muthuramalingam.

A real sportsman always stays in touch and plays on any turf!

Dear we all are right behind you!

Men have gathered here from all the neighboring 18 villages!

You victory is ours!

This mustache isn't mere hair!

It's a sentiment and honor of a Tamilian!

So go for it and win it!

Come on son! Slit his forehead and finish the game!

Sir, shall we arrest him?

No!

Police stands for discipline,

and honesty.

What do you say now?

I am too a descendant of a royal blood.

I'll clear them of all their charges.

Disperse!

This legacy of ours will keep going on forever.

So keep advancing and progressing.

Let's not worry and stay courageous even if we have to face the end of the world.

Don't you worry when I am here.

Don't loose your confidence.

So don't you worry and don't loose yourself.

Stay brave hearted!

Let's change ourselves and learn from our ancestors.

If we change for good then nothing can stop us from progressing.

Don't you worry when I am here.

Don't loose your confidence.

So don't you worry and don't loose yourself.

Stay brave hearted!

Change is the only thing doesn't change; rest everything changes.

Life is full of ups and down; so embrace it.

We have been through a lot of suffering, so let's learn from it.

No matter what people say, you are our king.

You are our role model, we celebrate you.

If you have a passion, pursue it! The path will reveal itself.

Gain experience and strive hard, The path will reveal itself.

Don't you worry when I am here.

Don't loose your confidence.

So don't you worry and don't loose yourself.

Stay brave hearted!

As time keeps moving we learn to depend on ourselves and progress.

We have seen enough of those who envy, let's learn from it.

No matter what you are our emperor.

You are the one who taught us to come up and progress. We are you admirers.

It's our time so let's make the best of it. Let's show the world.

Let's turn our experiences into lessons. Let's lead the way.

Don't you worry when I am here.

Don't loose your confidence.

So don't you worry and don't loose yourself.

Stay brave hearted!

Aren't you ashamed to lose?

Come on! Move.

He is hurt.

Try acting like a responsible father.

Not like a police officer.

Well, no...

You please wait outside.

Please go out.

How do you feel?

Sir, I was asked to pass this on to you.

Take rest. Ok?

Rest for a week then resume working.

Are you feeling low that your son lost the competition?

DSP Ashok Pandian...

isn't your son!

If you don't believe it...

take a DNA test.

Hello?

Are you in a dilemma Sethuraman?

Who are you?

Do you know who I am?

I'll finish you off!

Stop threatening me!

Go take a DNA test.

You'll realize the truth.

Hello?

Hello?

Why do you look tensed?

Well...

Some rascal called up and said Ashok...

is not our son.

He said to take a DNA test and confirm it.

Come on. Don't feel for it.

Ashok is indeed our son.

The minute doubts come in we will lose happiness in our lives.

Don't get confused. This is after all an anonymous letter.

Let's go ahead and take the test if you want.

Don't worry.

I can't help it.

Yes. As per the DNA report...

DSP Ashok Pandian is not your son.

What do you mean?

Then where is my real son?

Where is my real son?

Tell me!

Hello?

So do you believe now?

Please...

Please tell me.

Where is my son?

Does it hurt?

Isn't your wife worried?

She must be!

Who is it?

That's how I felt!

The guy who defeated your son in the Silambam competition is your real son!

Muthuramalingam!

Now go! Go get him.

What is he saying?

Who is it?

Where is my real son?

Say something!

I'll tell you.

Are you here with fake charges on Muthuramalingam and Chief Mookiah Devar?

Isn't the issue resolved? The police cleared them of all charges after losing the challenge!

I admire the respect you all have for Muthuramalingam and chief Mookiah Devar.

I am here on a personal agenda.

So make way or...

go tell Mookiah Devar the IG Sethuraman is here to meet him.

We shall.

But you must have your meeting amidst all the villagers.

Ok.

I'll go bring him.

- Dear nephew... - Yes uncle

24 years ago at Seevalaperi police station...

there was an inspector by the name Sethuraman.

Please find out where he is now.

I'll find out.

Chief...

IG Sethuraman is here to meet you.

Looks like fate has it's day.

I wanted it to remain a secret.

Looks like my beloved, Nachiyya is in for a shock.

- Dad. - Dad.

Please don't be shocked to hear this.

Muthuramalingam...

is not your son.

He is...

my son.

Please handover me my son, Muthuramalingam.

- Please return me my son. - Move!

I said move!

Please return me my son.

What's going on dear?

They are wrecking havoc in our lives by saying that Muthuramalingam isn't our son...

and why aren't you doing anything about it?

Who are they?

Tell me! Who are they?

What do we've got to do with them?

Don't you hear me?

Tell me! Who are these people?

Sir...

We are the parents of Muthuramalingam.

We found out about this only now.

Not only that. There is something else that you don't know too.

Ashok Pandian, who we believed to be our son..

is your real son.

No! I won't believe this.

I won't believe this!

Muthuramalingam is my son.

I am the mother who gave birth to him and bought him up with love and care for over 24 years.

Listen, aren't you a mother too?

Does this look like a child's play to you?

My son Muthuramalingam ain't a toy!

He is my life!

He is my life!

No Nachiyya!

Muthuramalingam isn't our son.

I already knew about the fact that Muthuramalingam isn't our son.

I had kept it a secret from you all this time.

I buried the secret inside me because I know that you won't be able to bear it!

I prayed hard to our deity to keep anyone from coming here in search of our son.

But fate!

Fate had other plans and here they are in search of him!

Here they are in search of him!

I'm known for doing justice to all the problems around here but what do I do now?

I'm helpless. What do I do?

Oh! Dear Nachiyya!

He is my son!

The root cause behind all this...

is Ramiah's vengeance on me.

Ramiah!

Ramiah!

Ramiah!

Hey! Finish him off!

He is Mookiah's original son and his heir!

Burn him down to ashes!

Come on!

My son!

Dear Muthuramalingam!

Mom.

Muthu, you are my son!

Your my son. Come on.

Now, tell them....Tell them you are not going anywhere!

Come on. Let's leave to our home.

Muthuramalingam.

He belongs to me!

From here on he must live with me.

- Come. Let's go home dear. - Move dear!

I won't let him go!

There! That is your son!

Fine, let's say that whatever you say is true.

Though I am not his birth mother, I can't give him up!

I can sacrifice myself...

but I will never give up my son.

Please don't leave us brother!

Please don't leave us!

Dad tell him!

Dad! Dad!

Tell him dad!

Dear brother!

Please don't leave us!

Look, send my son to me.

Or else...

I'll have to take legal actions.

Dear sister, they are right.

No matter what, Muthuramalingam is their son.

Your love and affection for him has blinded you.

If this issue goes to court, the mother's love won't win it for you.

What's legal is what will win.

So please don't blow this issue out of proportion.

You too?

Where are all those gods whom I offered my prayers?

Please, someone stop this from happening!

Please stop my son from leaving me.

Sir please! Please don't take away my son!

I plead you!

I plead you!

Muthuramalingam...

Leave.

What are you saying?

Leave!

Go away with your parents.

Dad?

Leave!

He's leaving! No!

No! Don't leave us!

Come on dear.

Dear...

Dad!

What is it?

For the final time...

can I do our 'dash on the forehead' thing?

Remember Muthuramalingam! You aren't just leaving dashing your dad's forehead...

you leaving dashing all our hopes and lives.

You are such an obedient son that you are leaving just because your dad ordered you!

Your mother's voice that keeps calling out "Muthuramalingam! Muthuramalingam!"...

will not be heard of anymore and it is going to crush her heart.

You are the one who taught the our children Silambam and to live with courage.

And now you are leaving all of us stranded, Muthuramalingam!

Lady, you are taking away our Muthuramalingam. who is like a god to us!

Whom will turn to now, when we need him?

Muthuramalingam!

Instead of taking you with me for my happiness...

I shall leave you here for the happiness of all of these people.

You be happy with them.

Stay happy forever.

Go back.

Go back to them!

Ashok...

you'll always stay our son.

Come to us dear.
