2
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,870
Mr. Naidu, are you giving us
a hard time looking for you?

3
00:01:45,950 --> 00:01:48,540
Do you realize hiding like this
is punishable by law?

4
00:01:48,700 --> 00:01:51,830
The government's 90-day grace period
for you to pay up ended yesterday.

5
00:01:51,910 --> 00:01:55,750
To recover your unpaid taxes
and penalties,

6
00:01:56,290 --> 00:01:59,200
the government will confiscate
80 percent of all your assets.

7
00:01:59,290 --> 00:02:00,620
Here is the official order.

8
00:02:01,700 --> 00:02:03,370
- Mohan, please proceed.
- Yes, sir.

9
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,750
You have to hand over
your title deeds immediately, sir.

10
00:02:06,830 --> 00:02:08,750
You must provide 52 documents in total.

11
00:02:11,950 --> 00:02:12,870
Pillai.

12
00:02:14,250 --> 00:02:15,750
Give them what they want.

13
00:02:19,500 --> 00:02:20,330
Okay.

14
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:22,450
Please wait, I'll be back.

15
00:02:28,500 --> 00:02:31,910

TAMIL NADU EDUCATION BOARD, MADRAS

16
00:02:39,750 --> 00:02:41,040
This is unfair, sir.

17
00:02:41,370 --> 00:02:42,750
Padma is a young girl.

18
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:44,580
So what if she doesn't sign?

19
00:02:44,950 --> 00:02:46,790
Haven't the majority of us signed?

20
00:02:46,870 --> 00:02:48,370
Our protocol has changed, ma'am.

21
00:02:48,500 --> 00:02:50,700
Even if one member doesn't sign,
the syllabus won't be approved.

22
00:02:50,790 --> 00:02:54,580
Oh, God! We've been discussing the same
for two weeks over tea and snacks!

23
00:02:54,660 --> 00:02:56,330
How much longer
will you drag this, sir?

24
00:02:56,660 --> 00:02:58,160
What do you want me to do?

25
00:02:58,910 --> 00:02:59,750
I'm helpless.

26
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,250
We have to finalize the syllabus
by the 9th and send it to print.

27
00:03:03,330 --> 00:03:04,950
She still hasn't signed it.

28
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,160
What can I do? Outrageous!

29
00:03:08,290 --> 00:03:10,080
Sir, for the salary we earn

30
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,200
and the snacks we eat here, we should be
at least a little bit fair, right?

31
00:03:13,290 --> 00:03:15,580
Just to print the same
syllabus every year,

32
00:03:15,660 --> 00:03:17,660
why do we have this
redundant committee?

33
00:03:17,910 --> 00:03:19,250
I have only one question.

34
00:03:19,410 --> 00:03:23,370
Why shouldn't our students learn
about a deserving individual?

35
00:03:24,450 --> 00:03:26,790
That "deserving individual"
she's talking about…

36
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,200
He cheated the government
without paying taxes.

37
00:03:29,290 --> 00:03:32,580
In his old age, he went crazy
and bombed his own building.

38
00:03:32,660 --> 00:03:35,250
He is a thief, a terrorist and a lunatic.

39
00:03:35,330 --> 00:03:36,830
We don't have time to discuss

40
00:03:36,910 --> 00:03:39,250
whether to include such a man
in our syllabus.

41
00:03:39,910 --> 00:03:42,000
Sir, at least all of that happened
later in his life.

42
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:43,200
Leave that aside.

43
00:03:43,370 --> 00:03:45,790
He didn't even complete Grade Three
in school.

44
00:03:45,870 --> 00:03:48,950
He threw mud at his teacher's face.
If we make our children learn

45
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,080
about such a person, it's a shame for us.

46
00:03:52,370 --> 00:03:53,790
You have a silver tongue, ma'am.

47
00:03:53,870 --> 00:03:55,290
But shall I share something?

48
00:03:55,790 --> 00:03:57,200
Whatever the truth is,

49
00:03:57,370 --> 00:04:01,290
only the writers decide
what gets recorded in history.

50
00:04:02,540 --> 00:04:05,750
If a lion pens the story of a hunt
without the hunter,

51
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:07,500
that history will be warped!

52
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,000
The meaning of bravery will also change.

53
00:04:10,330 --> 00:04:16,870
The reason I delayed signing the syllabus
for the past few weeks is this.

54
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,330
I request all of you
to read this from cover to cover.

55
00:04:21,790 --> 00:04:22,910
Even after reading it,

56
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,540
if you are of the opinion
that G.D.N. is a terrorist,

57
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,000
anti-national and a tax evader,

58
00:04:29,330 --> 00:04:30,830
you don't have to wait for me.

59
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,250
I will resign on my own.

00:05:00,580 --> 00:05:06,410
<i>You are the rhythm</i>
<i>My dreams longed to find</i>

63
00:05:07,700 --> 00:05:13,500
<i>You awakened the music in my heart</i>

64
00:05:14,540 --> 00:05:18,040
<i>I lived all alone in a town unknown…</i>

65
00:05:18,870 --> 00:05:20,250
Don't char it too much.

66
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,540
- Hey, the motorcycle has stopped.
- So what?

67
00:05:27,450 --> 00:05:29,410
Kathavaraya, take the kerosene
and the cutter.

68
00:05:29,500 --> 00:05:31,080
- Why?
- Take it.

69
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:35,040
My Lord!

70
00:05:35,830 --> 00:05:36,700
My Lord!

71
00:05:36,910 --> 00:05:37,790
My Lord!

72
00:05:38,870 --> 00:05:40,370
- Who are you?
- This is for you!

73
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:42,660
- Don't hit me…
- What do you want?

74
00:05:43,330 --> 00:05:44,750
The kerosene. It's for you.

75
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,580
When your motorcycle stopped in Sulur
the other day,

76
00:05:53,700 --> 00:05:55,580
you used kerosene to clean it, right?

77
00:05:56,910 --> 00:05:57,870
Sulur?

78
00:05:59,410 --> 00:06:00,790
It happened last year.

79
00:06:02,250 --> 00:06:04,120
Have you been following me since then?

80
00:06:04,910 --> 00:06:06,410
No, no, no.

81
00:06:07,250 --> 00:06:08,250
I didn't follow you.

82
00:06:10,500 --> 00:06:11,910
I followed the motorcycle.

83
00:06:15,250 --> 00:06:17,790
- You like motorcycles this much?
- Yes.

84
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,250
Our cart moves only when
two strong bulls pull it.

85
00:06:21,330 --> 00:06:23,290
But such a small motor
makes your motorcycle move!

86
00:06:23,370 --> 00:06:24,700
That really fascinates me.

87
00:06:26,620 --> 00:06:27,830
Hand me the lamp.

88
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,500
And remove the spark plug.

89
00:06:31,750 --> 00:06:33,200
See? Carbon.

90
00:06:33,330 --> 00:06:36,120
Now clean it using
the kerosene and the knife.

91
00:06:36,660 --> 00:06:37,700
You see this hook?

92
00:06:38,540 --> 00:06:39,370
And now…

93
00:06:40,500 --> 00:06:42,540
Throw that cap back on and you are done.

94
00:06:44,290 --> 00:06:46,450
- Take this.
- I don't want money.

95
00:06:46,830 --> 00:06:47,950
What else do you want?

96
00:06:48,580 --> 00:06:51,000
I like… your motorcycle.

97
00:06:53,700 --> 00:06:55,290
Will you sell this to me?

98
00:06:56,410 --> 00:06:58,410
Do you have 250 rupees?

99
00:06:59,040 --> 00:06:59,910
Yes, I do.

100
00:07:00,910 --> 00:07:02,040
What?

101
00:07:02,410 --> 00:07:03,580
250?

102
00:07:03,830 --> 00:07:04,830
Yes.

103
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:06,040
What's your name?

104
00:07:06,620 --> 00:07:07,950
You are a British "Dorai".

105
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:09,500
I am a Tamil Dorai.

106
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,750
Gopalaswamy Doraiswamy Naidu.

107
00:07:14,290 --> 00:07:15,620
Alright, Doraiswamy.

108
00:07:16,750 --> 00:07:18,540
Come see me when you have the money.

109
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,160
I'll come tomorrow.

110
00:07:29,580 --> 00:07:31,830
- Chellamma.
- Tell me.

111
00:07:33,790 --> 00:07:36,000
Where are you off to
so early in the morning?

112
00:07:37,750 --> 00:07:40,040
- I told you about a motorcycle, right?
- Yes.

113
00:07:40,370 --> 00:07:42,410
That British man agreed to sell it to me.

114
00:07:43,330 --> 00:07:45,290
I am short by 20 rupees.

115
00:07:47,830 --> 00:07:49,330
- I'll handle it.
- Wait, dear.

116
00:08:03,450 --> 00:08:05,660
- Are you also coming to buy it?
- Come on, dear.

117
00:08:05,750 --> 00:08:06,790
Climb on.

118
00:08:10,700 --> 00:08:14,450
<i>When I look at you, love is in the air</i>

119
00:08:14,540 --> 00:08:17,500
<i>A wondrous spell beyond compare</i>

120
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,700
<i>Without you near, my smiles fade</i>

121
00:08:21,790 --> 00:08:24,830
<i>My heart is lost in sorrow's shade</i>

122
00:08:24,910 --> 00:08:26,910
Hey! Shameless fellows!
Step out of the field!

123
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,450
Hey! Shut your mouth!

124
00:08:29,950 --> 00:08:32,120
The landlords won't even peep in here.

125
00:08:32,290 --> 00:08:34,080
Revolt and rot right there.

126
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:35,910
Let's continue with our work.

127
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,540
It seems the lunatics are revolting.

128
00:08:37,620 --> 00:08:38,620
What is it?

129
00:08:39,370 --> 00:08:41,410
Everyone has gone
into the fields to work.

130
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:43,950
- Sit down.
- It's alright, sir.

131
00:08:44,290 --> 00:08:46,330
Did the landlords agree to your requests?

132
00:08:46,410 --> 00:08:47,410
Not at all!

133
00:08:47,830 --> 00:08:49,370
Even if we work all day,

134
00:08:49,660 --> 00:08:52,410
the men get paid 3.5 <i>annas</i>
and women get paid only 2.5 <i>annas</i>.

135
00:08:52,500 --> 00:08:53,700
The yield is very good this time.

136
00:08:53,790 --> 00:08:56,450
But the landlords refuse
to increase even one <i>anna</i>.

137
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:58,160
Look at our menfolk.

138
00:08:58,250 --> 00:09:01,290
They are shamelessly working
without even heeding our protest.

139
00:09:01,620 --> 00:09:02,950
Ask them to step out.

140
00:09:03,290 --> 00:09:04,290
Hey, Vellaya!

141
00:09:04,370 --> 00:09:05,620
What are you doing there?

142
00:09:05,830 --> 00:09:06,790
Dorai.

143
00:09:06,870 --> 00:09:09,330
You listened to her
and you're yelling at me, huh?

144
00:09:10,700 --> 00:09:12,370
- I'll handle this.
- Hey, Deivanai!

145
00:09:12,830 --> 00:09:14,580
If you utter one word more,

146
00:09:14,910 --> 00:09:16,620
- I am warning you…
- Don't worry, Deivanai.

147
00:09:16,700 --> 00:09:18,620
It's been a week
since they started protesting.

148
00:09:18,700 --> 00:09:20,700
Not one landlord paid attention to this.

149
00:09:21,290 --> 00:09:22,750
I don't have a single penny on me.

150
00:09:22,830 --> 00:09:24,160
What do you want me to do?

151
00:09:25,290 --> 00:09:26,120
Hey.

152
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,910
Vella, a protest is like
grabbing a tiger's tail.

153
00:09:30,330 --> 00:09:32,120
You shouldn't let go
until they raise your wages.

154
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:33,830
If we loosen our grip,
that's the end of our story.

155
00:09:33,910 --> 00:09:36,830
Do you want all our wives
and children to die of starvation?

156
00:09:36,910 --> 00:09:39,500
- I am prepared to die.
- You go ahead and die!

157
00:09:39,910 --> 00:09:42,330
- But why do you kill my baby in your womb?
- Hey.

158
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:45,410
Here, take this.

159
00:09:45,790 --> 00:09:46,700
Oh, no!

160
00:09:47,660 --> 00:09:48,950
- Dorai…
- Take it!

161
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,370
Why do I need so much money?

162
00:09:50,450 --> 00:09:52,040
- There's no need.
- Just keep it.

163
00:09:56,250 --> 00:09:58,580
Dorai, why give us money?
We'll manage.

164
00:09:58,660 --> 00:10:00,410
Keep quiet, man.
Listen, all of you!

165
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,500
This amount is for all of you.

166
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,290
If you don't plant seedlings
for two more crop seasons,

167
00:10:05,370 --> 00:10:07,410
those landlords will come down
from their high horse.

168
00:10:07,500 --> 00:10:10,370
How can you give away so much money?

169
00:10:10,450 --> 00:10:11,910
Don't we have to return it?

170
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,500
All of you are protesting
for justice and fair pay.

171
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:16,540
Don't let go until they agree.

172
00:10:16,790 --> 00:10:19,080
You can use this money
for your expenses until then, right?

173
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:20,790
My husband means well.

174
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:26,080
Doraiswamy.

175
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:27,290
God bless you, my boy.

176
00:10:27,370 --> 00:10:28,830
God bless you, Doraiswamy!

177
00:10:46,660 --> 00:10:49,830
If he gave the entire amount
he had saved to those poor farmers,

178
00:10:50,370 --> 00:10:52,120
didn't he buy that motorcycle, sir?

179
00:10:52,290 --> 00:10:53,290
He didn't buy it then.

180
00:10:53,370 --> 00:10:56,500
"But in order to buy
the motorcycle he desired,

181
00:10:56,580 --> 00:10:58,290
he moved away from his wife and children

182
00:10:58,370 --> 00:10:59,580
<i>and went to Coimbatore."</i>

183
00:10:59,660 --> 00:11:04,330
<i>''There, he worked as a server</i>
<i>in a restaurant for three years.''</i>

184
00:11:06,250 --> 00:11:08,040
<i>''He toiled day and night</i>

185
00:11:08,330 --> 00:11:11,080
<i>and saved money</i>
<i>to make his dream come true."</i>

186
00:11:24,830 --> 00:11:26,080
The amount you specified.

187
00:11:26,450 --> 00:11:27,950
Good Lord, you managed it.

188
00:11:28,250 --> 00:11:30,290
Do you know how to ride a motorcycle?

189
00:11:30,700 --> 00:11:32,410
I can learn if I see it once, sir.

190
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:43,540
<i>You lit my mind with love anew</i>

191
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:52,000
<i>You made my heart bloom just for you</i>

192
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:59,450
<i>My day is filled with dreams</i>

193
00:11:59,540 --> 00:12:03,080
<i>Flowing like honeyed streams</i>

194
00:12:04,250 --> 00:12:08,450
<i>As I walked by your side</i>

195
00:12:08,540 --> 00:12:12,250
<i>My soul rejoiced and bloomed inside</i>

196
00:12:12,330 --> 00:12:16,200
<i>When our dreams entwine</i>

197
00:12:16,290 --> 00:12:20,450
<i>The whole world shines divine…</i>

198
00:12:36,660 --> 00:12:37,660
Listen, my dear.

199
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:40,040
Dear!

200
00:12:40,750 --> 00:12:41,750
Yes?

201
00:12:41,910 --> 00:12:44,620
Our daughter wants to go
for a ride on your motorcycle.

202
00:12:44,870 --> 00:12:45,910
Shall we get ready?

203
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,870
<i>For keeps, for eternity</i>
<i>You are the love that embraces me</i>

204
00:12:52,290 --> 00:12:59,290
<i>Come what may, even if far apart</i>
<i>You are always close to my heart</i>

205
00:13:00,370 --> 00:13:04,290
<i>Despite distant shores we see</i>

206
00:13:04,370 --> 00:13:08,500
<i>You will always be a part of me</i>

207
00:13:11,410 --> 00:13:12,450
What is this?

208
00:13:12,870 --> 00:13:14,410
You dismantled it?

209
00:13:17,910 --> 00:13:20,290
It isn't enough to learn
how to ride it, dear.

210
00:13:20,410 --> 00:13:22,040
I should learn how it runs.

211
00:13:22,580 --> 00:13:24,450
That's the reason I bought this bike.

212
00:13:26,250 --> 00:13:29,580
You could have fulfilled our child's wish
and then done this, right?

213
00:13:30,410 --> 00:13:33,620
<i>It echoed within me</i>

214
00:13:34,330 --> 00:13:37,450
<i>As ragas in melody</i>

215
00:13:38,370 --> 00:13:41,410
<i>In rhythmic rhapsody</i>

216
00:13:41,540 --> 00:13:45,790
<i>Playful games on love's pathway</i>
<i>Youth bursts forth in glad display</i>

217
00:13:45,870 --> 00:13:49,540
<i>Now you are here</i>
<i>You stole my heart, dear</i>

218
00:13:49,620 --> 00:13:53,790
<i>Though silver moonlight fades away</i>
<i>Though dreams are clouded with dismay</i>

219
00:13:53,870 --> 00:13:57,700
<i>Our hearts heaven-made</i>
<i>Will such a love ever fade?</i>

220
00:13:57,790 --> 00:14:01,700
<i>Without you, not even a blink</i>
<i>My heart won't sleep a wink</i>

221
00:14:01,790 --> 00:14:05,830
<i>Knowing you are next to me here</i>
<i>My heart blossoms with cheer</i>

222
00:14:05,910 --> 00:14:09,910
<i>Your beauty shines bright and true</i>
<i>Even those gods can't resist you</i>

223
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,160
<i>I will look at God eye to eye</i>
<i>And make them flee and fly</i>

224
00:14:13,580 --> 00:14:17,660
<i>The whole village stops to stare</i>
<i>You're a beauty beyond compare</i>

225
00:14:17,750 --> 00:14:20,410
<i>Endless tales of you begin to bloom anew</i>

226
00:14:20,500 --> 00:14:25,370
<i>All day long, as I walked by your side</i>

227
00:14:25,450 --> 00:14:29,620
<i>My soul rejoiced and bloomed inside</i>

228
00:14:29,700 --> 00:14:33,620
<i>When our dreams entwine</i>

229
00:14:33,700 --> 00:14:37,540
<i>The whole world shines divine</i>

230
00:14:37,620 --> 00:14:41,410
<i>As I walk with you right here</i>

231
00:14:41,540 --> 00:14:45,540
<i>My soul rejoices with cheer</i>

232
00:14:45,620 --> 00:14:49,790
<i>When our hearts and dreams align</i>

233
00:14:49,870 --> 00:14:53,250
<i>The whole world begins to shine…</i>

234
00:14:53,330 --> 00:14:54,370
Chellamma.

235
00:14:56,910 --> 00:14:59,540
Shall we ride the motorcycle?

236
00:15:01,410 --> 00:15:02,250
I won't come.

237
00:15:03,450 --> 00:15:04,290
Why?

238
00:15:06,620 --> 00:15:07,700
Look over there.

239
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,580
Dorai, your new motorcycle
looks terrific indeed.

240
00:15:12,790 --> 00:15:14,620
Like it? Take it for a ride.

241
00:15:14,700 --> 00:15:16,410
I had enough rides last night.

242
00:15:16,500 --> 00:15:17,660
Then let's go.

243
00:15:18,330 --> 00:15:19,160
Where?

244
00:15:19,540 --> 00:15:22,290
I've asked a mill owner I know
to give you a job.

245
00:15:22,370 --> 00:15:23,540
Who did you ask?

246
00:15:23,620 --> 00:15:25,540
I'm going to Coimbatore city
to work in a garage.

247
00:15:25,620 --> 00:15:28,580
It seems your wife doesn't want you
to go to the city.

248
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:30,540
Oh!

249
00:15:31,250 --> 00:15:33,250
My uncle and my wife are ganging up?

250
00:15:33,330 --> 00:15:36,830
Uncle, I can earn money
only if I go to Coimbatore to work.

251
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,450
If I had stayed in this village,
could I have bought this motorcycle?

252
00:15:40,750 --> 00:15:41,660
Dorai.

253
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:43,950
Cotton farming is our family occupation.

254
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:45,700
Only if you supervise it from here

255
00:15:45,790 --> 00:15:48,370
will our relatives help you
if there's a problem.

256
00:15:48,750 --> 00:15:49,790
Listen to me.

257
00:15:50,370 --> 00:15:52,200
Earn well from the trade you know

258
00:15:52,620 --> 00:15:54,330
and invest that money in a trade you love.

259
00:15:54,410 --> 00:15:56,540
Then you'll become
a successful businessman.

260
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,290
Okay, in which mill
have you got me a job?

261
00:16:06,330 --> 00:16:07,160
DHANALAKSHMI COTTON MILL

262
00:16:07,250 --> 00:16:08,700
- Is he your candidate?
- Yes, madam.

263
00:16:08,790 --> 00:16:11,910
He is the first person to come here
on a motorcycle asking for a job!

264
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,700
Take off your turban.

265
00:16:14,790 --> 00:16:16,250
He is so clueless!

266
00:16:16,330 --> 00:16:18,580
Take it off
and tie it around your waist.

267
00:16:20,450 --> 00:16:21,450
Madam.

268
00:16:22,790 --> 00:16:24,580
Will he bend his back and work hard?

269
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:26,120
Stand with your hands folded.

270
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:27,500
He will go the extra mile.

271
00:16:28,250 --> 00:16:30,040
I'll hire him because he is your nephew.

272
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,250
Listen, boy, there are some rules
to be followed if you work here.

273
00:16:33,330 --> 00:16:34,910
You must report for work early.

274
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,790
You should not take leaves
without a reason.

275
00:16:36,870 --> 00:16:38,870
You should not gossip
with your co-workers.

276
00:16:38,950 --> 00:16:41,330
You will get a monthly salary
of five rupees, understood?

277
00:16:41,410 --> 00:16:43,160
I also have a few rules, madam.

278
00:16:43,250 --> 00:16:44,160
Hey!

279
00:16:45,620 --> 00:16:47,620
I'm here to train as a mill worker.

280
00:16:47,700 --> 00:16:49,290
I will be here only for two years.

281
00:16:49,370 --> 00:16:53,370
After learning the ropes of this job,
I intend to start my own mill.

282
00:16:53,450 --> 00:16:54,700
Are you out of your mind?

283
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:57,950
You're being upfront.

284
00:16:58,410 --> 00:17:01,080
- Ramasamy, how many will be so frank?
- Madam?

285
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,370
Thavasi, take this boy
and teach him the job.

286
00:17:06,500 --> 00:17:07,450
- Yes, madam.
- Thank her.

287
00:17:07,540 --> 00:17:09,160
- Go.
- Come with me.

288
00:17:09,250 --> 00:17:10,330
Go, dear.

289
00:17:10,410 --> 00:17:14,830
<i>Rooted deep in their native soil</i>
<i>Countless hands here honor the toil</i>

290
00:17:14,910 --> 00:17:19,540
<i>Unity is our power so strong</i>
<i>Supporting us lifelong</i>

291
00:17:25,870 --> 00:17:29,950
<i>For those who toil away</i>

292
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,910
<i>No loss will come their way</i>

293
00:17:34,450 --> 00:17:38,540
<i>Just believe you will achieve</i>

294
00:17:38,790 --> 00:17:42,870
<i>Where work is plentiful all around</i>

295
00:17:42,950 --> 00:17:46,700
<i>The clever never lose their ground…</i>

296
00:17:46,790 --> 00:17:49,620
Doraiswamy, go to Vairavan's shop
and buy soap nut powder.

297
00:17:49,700 --> 00:17:51,700
Pluck some neem leaves on the way back.

298
00:17:51,790 --> 00:17:53,830
This child has lice all over her head.

299
00:17:54,540 --> 00:18:00,580
<i>The wisdom that you gain and seek</i>
<i>Will lift you to the highest peak</i>

300
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:12,450
<i>Clash with mountains, never yield</i>
<i>Display courage which is your shield</i>

301
00:18:12,580 --> 00:18:16,790
<i>Let your heart lead the way</i>
<i>Take each step to a brighter day</i>

302
00:18:16,870 --> 00:18:21,200
<i>Learn the ways of the wise</i>
<i>Change your tactics and rise</i>

303
00:18:21,500 --> 00:18:25,370
<i>Let your passion rise within</i>
<i>Let your grit and guts kick in</i>

304
00:18:31,790 --> 00:18:32,830
Madam.

305
00:18:33,450 --> 00:18:35,040
Can you teach me English too?

306
00:18:40,450 --> 00:18:41,370
Madam.

307
00:18:42,870 --> 00:18:43,870
What is this?

308
00:18:55,450 --> 00:18:57,500
- What is this?
- Eggplant!

309
00:19:01,370 --> 00:19:02,410
Very good.

310
00:19:03,790 --> 00:19:07,450
The way you remove the nits
with a lice comb

311
00:19:07,660 --> 00:19:09,370
the same way, this machine

312
00:19:09,450 --> 00:19:11,580
separates the cotton fiber from the seeds.

313
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:13,290
Good Lord!

314
00:19:13,620 --> 00:19:14,870
How amazing!

315
00:19:26,700 --> 00:19:29,200
TWO YEARS LATER

316
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,410
G. D. GINNING MILL

317
00:19:43,870 --> 00:19:47,040
- Hey! Remove all the carts from there!
- Dorai!

318
00:19:47,790 --> 00:19:49,870
All the bigwigs are waiting
for the mill's inauguration.

319
00:19:49,950 --> 00:19:52,620
- Won't others take care of this?
- Uncle, did you see Chellamma?

320
00:19:52,700 --> 00:19:54,450
Chellamma? She was right here.

321
00:19:54,910 --> 00:19:55,750
Chellamma?

322
00:19:56,290 --> 00:19:57,120
Chellamma?

323
00:19:58,080 --> 00:19:59,080
Deivanai?

324
00:19:59,700 --> 00:20:00,790
Did you see Chellamma?

325
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,750
She felt unwell, so she is taking rest.

326
00:20:04,580 --> 00:20:05,910
- She is unwell?
- Yes.

327
00:20:12,700 --> 00:20:13,540
Hey!

328
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:15,250
Chellamma!

329
00:20:15,330 --> 00:20:17,250
- What happened?
- It's nothing.

330
00:20:17,790 --> 00:20:20,370
- I was feeling tired.
- You are saying you feel tired.

331
00:20:20,620 --> 00:20:22,250
But you're burning up with a high fever.

332
00:20:22,330 --> 00:20:23,620
- Lingam?
- Sir?

333
00:20:23,700 --> 00:20:25,200
- Get the cart ready to go to the doctor.
- Sure, sir.

334
00:20:25,290 --> 00:20:29,580
We fixed an auspicious date and invited
all the VIPs to inaugurate the mill.

335
00:20:29,660 --> 00:20:31,330
If you are not here, it won't be right.

336
00:20:31,410 --> 00:20:32,330
You go there.

337
00:20:32,580 --> 00:20:34,540
- I can go to the doctor by myself.
- Hey.

338
00:20:35,330 --> 00:20:37,580
How can today be auspicious
if you are unwell?

339
00:20:38,830 --> 00:20:41,830
Keep quiet.
Lingam, bring the ox cart!

340
00:20:45,830 --> 00:20:46,870
Chellamma?

341
00:20:47,290 --> 00:20:48,200
How are you?

342
00:20:49,450 --> 00:20:51,000
- Are you feeling better?
- Yes.

343
00:20:51,660 --> 00:20:53,950
Are you churning buttermilk
so late at night?

344
00:20:54,830 --> 00:20:57,620
Not buttermilk, Deivanai.
Add those onions to it.

345
00:21:03,950 --> 00:21:05,160
What is this?

346
00:21:05,290 --> 00:21:07,080
It has diced the onions so finely.

347
00:21:07,620 --> 00:21:09,160
My husband made this

348
00:21:09,540 --> 00:21:11,870
so that my eyes don't tear up
when I cut onions.

349
00:21:12,750 --> 00:21:15,500
He really bends over backward
to make sure you're happy.

350
00:21:15,750 --> 00:21:17,370
You are truly blessed.

351
00:21:19,660 --> 00:21:20,830
That is the problem.

352
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:23,700
I am unable to accept it.

353
00:21:25,700 --> 00:21:28,450
Deivanai, he has such big dreams.

354
00:21:29,910 --> 00:21:32,120
Many people have to benefit
from his dreams.

355
00:21:34,870 --> 00:21:37,410
G. D. GINNING MILL

356
00:22:14,700 --> 00:22:16,000
- Bravo.
- Wow!

357
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:17,200
That was great!

358
00:22:17,290 --> 00:22:18,290
Very good.

359
00:22:21,330 --> 00:22:23,700
I hear the French are coming
to our aid on the Western Front.

360
00:22:23,790 --> 00:22:25,580
Led by the British army, of course.

361
00:22:26,250 --> 00:22:28,000
It's the French who need our help.

362
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:29,040
Naturally.

363
00:22:29,120 --> 00:22:31,660
And soon,
Germany's dominance will be broken.

364
00:22:31,910 --> 00:22:34,950
I'd like to raise a toast
to victory over Germany.

365
00:22:35,450 --> 00:22:38,040
And for the Great War to be over soon.

366
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:49,160
Stanes?

367
00:22:49,870 --> 00:22:52,410
I've been toying with the idea
of starting cotton farming.

368
00:22:52,500 --> 00:22:54,950
Since that's your forte,
I'd like some guidance.

369
00:22:56,870 --> 00:23:00,620
Yeah, well, actually, I know someone
with far more expertise than I do.

370
00:23:00,910 --> 00:23:02,330
Ladies and gentlemen,

371
00:23:02,790 --> 00:23:05,620
Mr. and Mrs. Naidu!

372
00:23:06,250 --> 00:23:07,950
Oh! Speak of the devil!

373
00:23:31,120 --> 00:23:32,750
Who the hell is this <i>fakir</i>?

374
00:23:33,660 --> 00:23:37,660
He is one of the most intelligent
and enterprising gentlemen I've ever met.

375
00:23:37,870 --> 00:23:40,040
Quite simply, he is a genius!

376
00:23:40,410 --> 00:23:41,500
Oh! Really?

377
00:23:46,450 --> 00:23:48,160
- Madam?
- No, thank you.

378
00:23:49,500 --> 00:23:50,790
Excuse me, ladies.

379
00:23:50,870 --> 00:23:53,370
I'm afraid I have to steal
this gentleman from you.

380
00:23:53,870 --> 00:23:55,790
- I'm sorry, ladies.
- Of course, Stanes.

381
00:23:56,120 --> 00:23:58,250
Mr. Stanes, I see the crutches have gone.

382
00:23:58,620 --> 00:24:00,830
My Siddha medicines
have worked their magic.

383
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,200
Blimey! Your English has improved
by leaps and bounds.

384
00:24:04,370 --> 00:24:06,290
Well, I had good teachers.

385
00:24:06,750 --> 00:24:09,250
Mrs. Stanes and you taught me
with so much affection.

386
00:24:09,330 --> 00:24:10,330
It's our pleasure.

387
00:24:10,410 --> 00:24:12,080
Won't you join us at this table?

388
00:24:12,450 --> 00:24:15,200
- Thank you. Very good evening, gentlemen.
- Good evening.

389
00:24:17,290 --> 00:24:20,580
Naidu, may I present Winston Smith?
Promising young merchant.

390
00:24:20,660 --> 00:24:22,950
- Oh! Nice to meet you, Mr. Smith.
- Nice to meet you.

391
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,790
And this is Henry Adams,
Commissioner of Income Tax.

392
00:24:25,870 --> 00:24:28,580
Oh! Such an honor
to meet you, Mr. Adams.

393
00:24:29,580 --> 00:24:33,410
Mr. Smith would love to get
your expert opinion on cotton farming.

394
00:24:33,660 --> 00:24:35,410
Oh! You're interested?

395
00:24:35,500 --> 00:24:36,580
Yes.

396
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,870
I have cross-bred high-yield cotton plants

397
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,160
with pest-resistant,
low-cost cotton varieties

398
00:24:44,410 --> 00:24:48,700
that produce the highest yields
and I've preserved those seeds carefully.

399
00:24:50,660 --> 00:24:51,620
Oh, my!

400
00:24:51,700 --> 00:24:53,370
Can I have some of your seeds, please?

401
00:24:53,450 --> 00:24:54,450
Definitely.

402
00:24:54,910 --> 00:24:56,700
But I won't give them away for free.

403
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,120
I'll sell them.
That too, at my price.

404
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,200
Where did you earn
your degree in botany, Mr. Naidu?

405
00:25:05,700 --> 00:25:06,830
Mr. Adams.

406
00:25:07,250 --> 00:25:11,040
My enthusiasm teaches me
many things that education couldn't.

407
00:25:13,830 --> 00:25:16,160
The audacity of this uneducated man

408
00:25:16,870 --> 00:25:18,540
to come and sell his seeds to us!

409
00:25:22,830 --> 00:25:25,830
How are you qualified to sell them to us?

410
00:25:28,330 --> 00:25:30,540
You entered our country as mere traders.

411
00:25:30,620 --> 00:25:33,040
If you think you're qualified
to rule this country,

412
00:25:33,120 --> 00:25:35,330
I'm slightly more qualified than you are.

413
00:25:38,450 --> 00:25:39,410
Naidu.

414
00:25:39,830 --> 00:25:42,950
Are you aware of where
and whom you are talking to?

415
00:25:44,580 --> 00:25:49,620
You will soon understand which country
you're in and whom you're talking to.

416
00:25:59,950 --> 00:26:00,830
We'll see.

417
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,080
Naidu, why are you doing this?

418
00:26:08,580 --> 00:26:10,580
I am worried.
Think about your family.

419
00:26:10,790 --> 00:26:11,910
My dear Mr. Stanes.

420
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:13,910
A shrewd industrialist should know

421
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,700
whose feet to fall at
and whose ears to tweak!

422
00:26:19,450 --> 00:26:20,410
Family…

423
00:26:21,450 --> 00:26:23,000
Do you know where Chellamma is?

424
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:25,000
Chell…

425
00:26:26,250 --> 00:26:27,410
Excuse me.

426
00:26:31,660 --> 00:26:33,410
- Shanmugam, did you see my wife?
- Sir?

427
00:26:33,500 --> 00:26:35,540
I offered to drop her
in our horse carriage.

428
00:26:35,620 --> 00:26:38,080
She said no
and walked back to the cottage.

429
00:26:40,410 --> 00:26:41,450
Bring my vehicle!

430
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:11,000
Chellamma.

431
00:27:11,830 --> 00:27:13,370
Chellamma, what happened, dear?

432
00:27:13,700 --> 00:27:14,830
Are you unwell?

433
00:27:15,450 --> 00:27:16,500
Nothing of that sort.

434
00:27:20,750 --> 00:27:22,700
When I take you to parties like this,

435
00:27:23,500 --> 00:27:26,450
it bothers me
that I make you feel uncomfortable.

436
00:27:28,330 --> 00:27:29,830
Will you promise me something?

437
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:32,500
Only I will speak now.

438
00:27:32,580 --> 00:27:34,120
You should not interrupt me.

439
00:27:36,830 --> 00:27:37,700
Okay.

440
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:46,450
How hard did you work to save money
to buy your dream motorcycle?

441
00:27:47,620 --> 00:27:49,580
But you gave the entire sum
without batting an eye

442
00:27:49,660 --> 00:27:51,330
to those protesters in Kalangal.

443
00:27:52,330 --> 00:27:53,870
You have a heart of gold, dear.

444
00:27:54,830 --> 00:27:57,250
It will not change.
Nor should it change.

445
00:28:01,120 --> 00:28:03,700
By manufacturing indigenous products
for the people of our land,

446
00:28:03,790 --> 00:28:07,700
your dream to end British rule
is a really big challenge.

447
00:28:10,290 --> 00:28:13,910
It will benefit our country
and our people immensely.

448
00:28:15,790 --> 00:28:17,540
In such a crucial phase in your life…

449
00:28:17,620 --> 00:28:19,160
"Will my wife be alright with this?"

450
00:28:19,250 --> 00:28:21,290
"Will she settle down happily
if we move here?"

451
00:28:21,370 --> 00:28:22,950
If you have to worry about me like this,

452
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,080
I may be keeping people
from benefiting from those advantages.

453
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:28,120
Chellamma.

454
00:28:28,660 --> 00:28:30,700
I don't want
to shoulder that blame, dear.

455
00:28:31,620 --> 00:28:34,330
I know very well
how much you love me.

456
00:28:35,580 --> 00:28:37,910
If I ask you to follow me
leaving behind your dreams,

457
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:39,910
you will agree in the blink of an eye.

458
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:42,290
But after that,

459
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,790
I'd be weeping that you couldn't serve
our nation because of my selfishness.

460
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,830
You'd be feeling sad
that you couldn't achieve your goals.

461
00:28:53,290 --> 00:28:54,910
Our life will turn sour.

462
00:28:56,620 --> 00:28:58,040
I can think of only one way.

463
00:29:00,500 --> 00:29:01,500
What is it?

464
00:29:06,410 --> 00:29:11,950
Marry a girl who will stand by your side
sharing your many dreams.

465
00:29:12,410 --> 00:29:13,950
Chellamma, have you lost your--

466
00:29:15,790 --> 00:29:17,660
Don't worry about our children.

467
00:29:19,620 --> 00:29:20,910
I'll raise them well.

468
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:34,700
I didn't decide this overnight.

469
00:29:35,330 --> 00:29:37,540
A calm decision made
after deep deliberation.

470
00:29:39,660 --> 00:29:42,330
<i>You will eventually realize</i>
<i>that it's better this way.</i>

471
00:30:02,660 --> 00:30:03,620
Uncle.

472
00:30:03,790 --> 00:30:05,120
Are you mad or what?

473
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,080
How can I marry such a young girl?

474
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,870
Why does it bother you
when she has consented happily?

475
00:30:11,700 --> 00:30:13,790
How can she think
with clarity at that age?

476
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:18,200
If you reject her now at the altar,
her family and life will be ruined.

477
00:30:18,290 --> 00:30:19,790
She may take drastic measures.

478
00:30:30,700 --> 00:30:32,500
Dorai, bend and give in right now.

479
00:30:32,580 --> 00:30:35,200
Otherwise, Ranganayaki will
make you bend to her will.

480
00:31:06,790 --> 00:31:07,700
Are you crying?

481
00:31:10,330 --> 00:31:11,290
No.

482
00:31:13,450 --> 00:31:14,620
What happened? Tell me.

483
00:31:15,910 --> 00:31:17,200
I'm bad luck for you.

484
00:31:17,370 --> 00:31:18,250
What?

485
00:31:20,330 --> 00:31:23,120
All this happened to you
only after you married me.

486
00:31:23,950 --> 00:31:26,290
Hey! What misfortune has befallen us?

487
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:29,830
When you were with your first wife,

488
00:31:29,950 --> 00:31:31,950
you were the king of the cotton trade.

489
00:31:32,580 --> 00:31:36,330
Just one year after I came into your life,
we've been reduced to this state.

490
00:31:36,750 --> 00:31:39,500
We've sold all our assets
and sunk to this level of poverty…

491
00:31:39,580 --> 00:31:40,910
You crazy wife of mine!

492
00:31:41,580 --> 00:31:44,330
If we've been reduced to this state,
it's because of me!

493
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,000
I should have gone to Bombay
and stuck to the cotton trading.

494
00:31:48,370 --> 00:31:50,160
Listening to some random chap's advice,

495
00:31:50,250 --> 00:31:53,000
I'm the one who lost everything I earned
in cotton gambling.

496
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:54,660
I gambled. I lost all the money.

497
00:31:54,950 --> 00:31:57,700
But did I become a drunkard and rot away?

498
00:31:58,040 --> 00:31:58,950
Come here.

499
00:32:02,500 --> 00:32:05,750
Ranganayaki, in Snakes and Ladders
when we cross 90 and keep moving,

500
00:32:05,910 --> 00:32:09,000
a huge snake will bite us suddenly
and we'll come sliding down.

501
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,290
But even if we slide down
to the rock bottom,

502
00:32:11,500 --> 00:32:13,120
we'll still remain in the game.

503
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:14,910
We don't get pushed off the board.

504
00:32:15,830 --> 00:32:16,750
Listen to me.

505
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:19,830
Won't we get another ladder to climb?

506
00:32:22,290 --> 00:32:23,620
If it doesn't come our way,

507
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:25,500
I will make it appear!

508
00:32:27,830 --> 00:32:28,870
Lovely lunatic!

509
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,200
How can you be silly enough
to cry over this?

510
00:32:49,500 --> 00:32:50,950
Naidu, Good Lord!

511
00:32:51,250 --> 00:32:52,200
Is that really you?

512
00:32:53,330 --> 00:32:54,370
Mr. Stanes.

513
00:32:55,250 --> 00:32:57,830
I heard that you're hiring a mechanic
in your garage.

514
00:32:59,500 --> 00:33:00,830
Can you give me that job?

515
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:07,040
Look, I understand you had to swallow
your pride to come and ask me for a job.

516
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,080
It takes a lot of courage
to do that, Naidu.

517
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:11,580
Most men couldn't do it.

518
00:33:11,910 --> 00:33:13,080
And I'm in awe.

519
00:33:15,250 --> 00:33:16,450
Mr. Stanes.

520
00:33:17,750 --> 00:33:19,290
Pride cannot pay my bills.

521
00:33:20,450 --> 00:33:22,040
True as that may be, my friend,

522
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,500
I cannot take advantage of you
at this time.

523
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:27,700
So here's what we are going to do.

524
00:33:28,660 --> 00:33:30,000
Take one of my buses.

525
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:31,830
Run it.

526
00:33:32,290 --> 00:33:33,200
Start again.

527
00:33:33,910 --> 00:33:35,500
And I'm sure that in no time,

528
00:33:35,580 --> 00:33:38,370
you will turn that bus
into a whole fleet of buses.

529
00:33:39,450 --> 00:33:41,830
On that day, you can repay me.

530
00:33:50,700 --> 00:33:51,620
Thank you.

531
00:33:52,410 --> 00:33:53,330
Yes.

532
00:33:53,540 --> 00:33:54,790
Of course, my old friend.

533
00:33:54,870 --> 00:33:56,580
Now, what do you say?

534
00:33:56,910 --> 00:33:58,540
Shall we go get us a pot of tea?

535
00:33:58,700 --> 00:34:00,120
Oh! I am dying to.

536
00:34:00,540 --> 00:34:01,700
- Thank you.
- Yes.

537
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:03,370
Your house looks the same.

538
00:34:03,450 --> 00:34:04,540
Ah, yes.

539
00:34:09,580 --> 00:34:10,540
Listen, dear.

540
00:34:10,620 --> 00:34:13,330
Your uncle said that he has
arranged for a driver.

541
00:34:13,410 --> 00:34:15,660
- Did you talk to him?
- I did… I did.

542
00:34:16,580 --> 00:34:17,870
Who did you hire?

543
00:34:20,830 --> 00:34:23,080
COIMBATORE - UDUMALAI - PALANI

544
00:34:23,870 --> 00:34:25,660
Are you planning to drive it yourself?

545
00:34:25,750 --> 00:34:26,910
Yes.

546
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:28,200
Proprietress.

547
00:34:28,620 --> 00:34:30,410
How much will you pay this driver?

548
00:34:31,620 --> 00:34:33,870
I can't pay this driver a salary.

549
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:39,000
This driver knows how to get a salary
from his beloved proprietress!

550
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:41,160
Doraiswamy.

551
00:34:41,250 --> 00:34:43,830
Your love-bus is on the go.
When will this bus leave?

552
00:34:45,870 --> 00:34:48,120
It will leave shortly.
First, get in.

553
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,950
- Come on.
- Uncle, he's driving for the first time.

554
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:52,450
Ask him to check the auspicious time.

555
00:34:52,540 --> 00:34:54,500
- Okay… fine.
- My proprietress princess.

556
00:34:54,580 --> 00:34:57,160
Should I look for auspicious time
or keep my eyes on the road?

557
00:34:57,250 --> 00:34:59,000
Sarcastic wit runs in your veins!

558
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,040
Shall I take my leave?

559
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:02,160
Shall we go?

560
00:35:33,540 --> 00:35:35,330
G. D. NAIDU BUS STATION

561
00:35:46,290 --> 00:35:47,700
- Good morning.
- Good morning.

562
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:52,830
Mr. Hurtis, why did the bus
from Ooty start five minutes late?

563
00:35:52,910 --> 00:35:55,080
- The bus was only half full.
- No, it doesn't matter.

564
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,830
Even if there's only one passenger,
the bus has to leave on time.

565
00:35:57,910 --> 00:36:00,700
Discipline is more important than profits.
I'm sure you understand.

566
00:36:00,790 --> 00:36:02,000
- Very good, sir.
- Are we set?

567
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:03,040
- Yes, sir.
- Let's go.

568
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:06,450
Respected bus owners who honored
our invitation and are here with us,

569
00:36:06,540 --> 00:36:08,790
on behalf of Mr. G. D. Naidu,

570
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:13,200
G. D. bus service and its proud employees,

571
00:36:13,370 --> 00:36:15,370
I extend a hearty welcome to one and all.

572
00:36:15,450 --> 00:36:16,330
R. P. BUS SERVICE

573
00:36:17,290 --> 00:36:20,540
The bus service
which we run in South India

574
00:36:20,620 --> 00:36:25,370
is no less than those in China, Japan
and Russia.

575
00:36:25,450 --> 00:36:27,410
- That is not an exaggeration.
- Definitely.

576
00:36:27,500 --> 00:36:29,330
He is absolutely right.

577
00:36:30,790 --> 00:36:35,000
Only our G. D. Naidu runs a bus service
that has left the British speechless!

578
00:36:35,370 --> 00:36:36,790
Look at that advertisement.

579
00:36:36,870 --> 00:36:38,500
He is writing his own history!

580
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:42,160
If a man gets into his bus
clad in crisp white cotton attire,

581
00:36:42,370 --> 00:36:45,540
he can be assured of alighting
without a spot of dirt or crease.

582
00:36:45,790 --> 00:36:48,080
Whether it's advertising boastfully,

583
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,120
or maintaining the buses,

584
00:36:50,330 --> 00:36:51,700
no one can beat Naidu.

585
00:36:51,830 --> 00:36:54,330
Then how can we not appreciate him?

586
00:36:56,870 --> 00:36:58,500
Thank you.

587
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,330
The reason we've all assembled here--

588
00:37:01,410 --> 00:37:02,450
But…

589
00:37:02,700 --> 00:37:05,290
Can we run a bus company
so efficiently like him?

590
00:37:05,700 --> 00:37:08,660
Impossible, because he owns
more than 200 buses.

591
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:10,620
Money keeps rolling in.

592
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:15,200
We own one or two buses
and find it hard to make both ends meet.

593
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:19,000
If we charge two <i>paise</i> for four miles,

594
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,700
you take passengers at half the price
for the same distance.

595
00:37:21,790 --> 00:37:23,250
Then how do we cope?

596
00:37:23,330 --> 00:37:24,830
Sir, we can think of only one solution.

597
00:37:24,910 --> 00:37:28,160
You don't drive on our route
and we won't drive on yours.

598
00:37:29,450 --> 00:37:30,870
BUS OWNERS' CONFERENCE

599
00:37:30,950 --> 00:37:31,910
No.

600
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:38,160
You cannot dictate which routes I can
drive on, nor can I do the same to you.

601
00:37:38,450 --> 00:37:39,910
Because this is beyond business.

602
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:41,330
This is about service to the people.

603
00:37:41,410 --> 00:37:43,870
Without competition,
there will be no growth or progress.

604
00:37:43,950 --> 00:37:46,080
But that growth should not stop.

605
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,370
It's growth only if it spreads
in all directions.

606
00:37:48,450 --> 00:37:50,290
Otherwise, it's called swelling.

607
00:37:54,290 --> 00:37:56,700
Sir, you have understood
the problem clearly.

608
00:37:57,370 --> 00:37:58,950
But your solution

609
00:37:59,540 --> 00:38:02,160
resembles the British's scheme
of divide and rule.

610
00:38:02,450 --> 00:38:04,540
It's called a chariot
only if the villagers join hands.

611
00:38:04,620 --> 00:38:06,120
Or else it's just carved wood.

612
00:38:08,870 --> 00:38:10,580
This town should unite in harmony.

613
00:38:13,290 --> 00:38:15,080
I have a fantastic plan.

614
00:38:15,580 --> 00:38:17,040
Lend me your ears with patience.

615
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:23,910
Our suggestion is for all of us
to start a cooperative bus company.

616
00:38:24,750 --> 00:38:26,540
As far as this company is concerned,

617
00:38:26,790 --> 00:38:28,540
everyone here is the boss.

618
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,290
Does he think all of us are blockheads?

619
00:38:31,370 --> 00:38:34,000
You'll add your bus to our company.

620
00:38:34,370 --> 00:38:37,700
Depending on how many buses you add,

621
00:38:37,790 --> 00:38:40,290
we can share the profits accordingly.

622
00:38:41,290 --> 00:38:46,410
The name of this bus company
where we unite for profit…

623
00:38:48,290 --> 00:38:50,370
is United Motor Service.

624
00:38:50,620 --> 00:38:53,040
Our UMS, for short.

625
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:54,700
The customers will be our bosses.

626
00:38:54,790 --> 00:38:57,410
Their comfort is our top priority.

627
00:38:57,500 --> 00:39:00,250
<i>Only then can we survive</i>
<i>and grow in this business.</i>

628
00:39:00,330 --> 00:39:01,370
<i>For that sole reason,</i>

629
00:39:01,450 --> 00:39:04,160
<i>we have planned</i>
<i>some special schemes for our people.</i>

630
00:39:04,410 --> 00:39:08,080
<i>Separate, clean toilets</i>
<i>for men and women.</i>

631
00:39:08,330 --> 00:39:12,580
<i>A rest area for travelers</i>
<i>and a canteen functioning for 14 hours.</i>

632
00:39:12,700 --> 00:39:15,160
<i>If a passenger wants to go</i>
<i>to Nagercoil from Coimbatore,</i>

633
00:39:15,250 --> 00:39:18,870
<i>all he has to do is buy one ticket.</i>
<i>It will be valid for four days.</i>

634
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,000
<i>Even if he stops in any town</i>
<i>along the way,</i>

635
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:25,580
<i>he can continue his journey</i>
<i>on any other UMS bus.</i>

636
00:39:26,950 --> 00:39:28,660
MADURAI - TIRUNELVELI - NAGERCOIL -
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM - TRICHY - THANJAVUR

637
00:39:28,750 --> 00:39:31,080
Spare parts expenses,
profit and loss statements

638
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:34,370
will be transparent and updated properly.

639
00:39:34,540 --> 00:39:36,290
Anyone can check anytime they want.

640
00:39:37,950 --> 00:39:39,830
Your idea seems very good on paper.

641
00:39:40,540 --> 00:39:43,500
Let's say after we attach
all our buses with UMS,

642
00:39:43,660 --> 00:39:45,410
if any repairs are needed,

643
00:39:45,580 --> 00:39:48,200
should we take care of the expenses?

644
00:39:48,620 --> 00:39:50,160
Or will the company cover them?

645
00:39:50,790 --> 00:39:53,040
Very good question.
That's very pertinent.

646
00:39:53,160 --> 00:40:00,120
Mr. Naidu plans to open a garage
that runs 24/7 at his own expense.

647
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,450
Since we are manufacturing
our own spare parts,

648
00:40:02,540 --> 00:40:05,160
the service costs, breakdown costs,
expenditure on repairs…

649
00:40:05,250 --> 00:40:07,120
You don't have to worry
about any of these expenses.

650
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:08,500
UMS will take care of it.

651
00:40:09,250 --> 00:40:13,200
But have you ever wondered
why our buses break down frequently?

652
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:20,080
Because we drive our buses
on unpaved roads with great difficulty.

653
00:40:21,290 --> 00:40:24,160
But taxes for roads
that have never been built

654
00:40:24,750 --> 00:40:28,000
are collected by the British
government without any shame.

655
00:40:28,540 --> 00:40:29,580
Does it stop there?

656
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,870
Customs duty, income tax, property tax…

657
00:40:33,950 --> 00:40:35,950
Taxes on the salt
we harvest from our sea…

658
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:37,160
And not just on salt.

659
00:40:37,620 --> 00:40:39,200
If we let this continue,

660
00:40:39,370 --> 00:40:42,080
they'll even tax the loincloth we wear!

661
00:40:42,250 --> 00:40:43,870
Scoundrels!

662
00:40:44,950 --> 00:40:46,000
You are right.

663
00:40:48,830 --> 00:40:54,120
But can a single person challenge
all these atrocities by the British?

664
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:56,950
Not at all.

665
00:41:02,540 --> 00:41:04,580
But if we stand together as a federation,

666
00:41:06,370 --> 00:41:09,910
we can grab them by the collar
and boldly demand answers.

667
00:41:11,660 --> 00:41:15,120
We can refuse to pay taxes
if proper roads aren't built.

668
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:21,870
This is how we can change our destiny.

669
00:41:25,330 --> 00:41:26,370
Now tell me.

670
00:41:27,540 --> 00:41:31,250
As a cooperative,
shall we start this company?

671
00:41:33,540 --> 00:41:35,290
United Motor Service.

672
00:41:36,370 --> 00:41:37,450
Shall we start?

673
00:42:09,330 --> 00:42:10,450
Sir, congratulations.

674
00:42:40,950 --> 00:42:43,290
R.P. BUS SERVICE

675
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:00,290
- Sundaram.
- Sir?

676
00:43:00,660 --> 00:43:03,080
Did Ramaiah Pillai add his buses
to the company?

677
00:43:03,540 --> 00:43:04,580
Not yet.

678
00:43:06,540 --> 00:43:09,040
- Why?
- He had an emergency.

679
00:43:09,250 --> 00:43:11,830
The poor guy had to sell
the only bus he owned.

680
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:13,540
But it was well maintained.

681
00:43:13,830 --> 00:43:16,120
That's why we bought it
at the price he quoted.

682
00:43:17,540 --> 00:43:19,500
- He sold his bus?
- Yes, sir.

683
00:43:22,580 --> 00:43:23,660
Ask him to come upstairs.

684
00:43:27,370 --> 00:43:28,370
Greetings, Naidu.

685
00:43:28,580 --> 00:43:30,450
I do not intend to change my mind.

686
00:43:30,830 --> 00:43:32,950
The bus I sold you remains sold.

687
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:35,950
I plan to use that money
for my daughter's wedding.

688
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,410
- I'll take your leave.
- Sir… Sir, please come.

689
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:39,950
Come here.

690
00:43:43,290 --> 00:43:45,540
Get your daughter married happily.

691
00:43:46,370 --> 00:43:48,500
But don't get me wrong
for asking you this.

692
00:43:49,250 --> 00:43:52,500
Will your life come to a standstill
after your daughter's wedding?

693
00:43:54,410 --> 00:43:56,040
You sold the only bus you owned.

694
00:43:56,660 --> 00:43:58,160
What will you do for a living?

695
00:44:01,700 --> 00:44:02,620
Sir.

696
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,870
He called you up here
to discuss a job with you.

697
00:44:06,500 --> 00:44:07,950
What work can you do?

698
00:44:08,410 --> 00:44:09,950
Tell us your educational qualifications.

699
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:11,120
Educ--

700
00:44:11,370 --> 00:44:12,370
Education?

701
00:44:12,700 --> 00:44:14,120
Are you trying to be funny?

702
00:44:14,750 --> 00:44:16,870
I didn't even finish elementary school.

703
00:44:17,250 --> 00:44:18,370
But…

704
00:44:18,450 --> 00:44:22,790
My bus has taught me many things
that a school couldn't.

705
00:44:28,290 --> 00:44:30,160
- Are you skeptical?
- I didn't mean it that way.

706
00:44:30,250 --> 00:44:31,950
I know you still have doubts.

707
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:33,660
Send for your drivers now.

708
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:35,580
Just summon them.

709
00:44:59,790 --> 00:45:02,200
In this bus, there is
no oil in the spring leaf.

710
00:45:02,700 --> 00:45:04,790
That's the reason for the groaning sound.

711
00:45:05,370 --> 00:45:06,750
There is no other problem.

712
00:45:25,870 --> 00:45:28,250
The second cylinder's spark plug is bad.

713
00:45:28,540 --> 00:45:29,910
That's why it is screaming.

714
00:45:44,540 --> 00:45:47,250
R. P. BUS SERVICE

715
00:45:55,370 --> 00:45:57,330
There won't be any problem in this bus.

716
00:45:57,750 --> 00:45:58,870
Because it is mine.

717
00:45:59,410 --> 00:46:00,950
R.P. Bus Service.

718
00:46:02,370 --> 00:46:05,410
But now this bus… belongs to you.

719
00:46:26,620 --> 00:46:27,540
Our bus.

720
00:46:28,950 --> 00:46:30,290
Listen, Ramaiah Pillai.

721
00:46:30,790 --> 00:46:32,250
Let me ask you face to face.

722
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:36,200
This organization needs
a well-qualified foreman.

723
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:41,040
I'll be extremely happy
if you accept this responsibility.

724
00:46:44,790 --> 00:46:47,040
Sir, please don't turn me down.

725
00:46:49,870 --> 00:46:51,040
How can I--

726
00:46:54,790 --> 00:46:55,700
Come on!

727
00:47:18,700 --> 00:47:20,580
KOVAI - UDUMALAI - PALANI

728
00:47:31,830 --> 00:47:33,540
Long live, Father Periyar!

729
00:47:33,620 --> 00:47:35,290
Long live, Father Periyar!

730
00:48:27,450 --> 00:48:29,620
Mr. Smith, meet Mr. Bhupendra.

731
00:48:30,410 --> 00:48:33,660
Bhupendra is a leading figure
in north India's steel industry.

732
00:48:33,830 --> 00:48:35,540
And a prominent business tycoon.

733
00:48:35,620 --> 00:48:36,790
Glad to meet you, Mr. Smith.

734
00:48:36,870 --> 00:48:38,330
Glad to meet you, Mr. Bhupendra.

735
00:48:38,410 --> 00:48:40,540
The game is about to begin.
I'll see you at Divot Stomp.

736
00:48:40,620 --> 00:48:42,250
- Right you are.
- Right you are.

737
00:48:43,620 --> 00:48:45,540
Adams, can I have a word with you?

738
00:48:45,620 --> 00:48:46,620
Certainly.

739
00:48:47,830 --> 00:48:49,290
What "big tycoon"?

740
00:48:50,250 --> 00:48:51,370
You gave me your word.

741
00:48:51,450 --> 00:48:52,660
A foothold in the south.

742
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:56,080
And on your request, I brought
Naidu down with that cotton gamble.

743
00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:58,540
And yet here we are, years on.

744
00:48:59,540 --> 00:49:01,330
And he's still ahead.

745
00:49:01,660 --> 00:49:03,040
Now you let this happen.

746
00:49:03,750 --> 00:49:06,160
And I am not going to be
the one paying the price.

747
00:49:06,410 --> 00:49:08,870
Believe me, Bhupendra, I tried.

748
00:49:09,830 --> 00:49:11,290
But his books are clean.

749
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:15,040
And he is working within the system.

750
00:49:17,370 --> 00:49:19,500
What do you mean by the system, Adams?

751
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:21,410
You are the system.

752
00:49:22,370 --> 00:49:24,290
Nothing is going to stand in your way.

753
00:49:24,410 --> 00:49:27,830
Do you think laws can't be bent
if his books are clean?

754
00:49:28,660 --> 00:49:29,540
Soil them.

755
00:49:30,500 --> 00:49:32,620
Ravi! Bring my horse!

756
00:49:38,410 --> 00:49:40,080
TAX PAYERS

757
00:50:02,410 --> 00:50:06,500
TAX EVADERS

758
00:50:07,580 --> 00:50:10,910
<i>Sir, I have changed G. D. Naidu's records</i>
<i>as you instructed.</i>

759
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:12,120
Mr. Palanisamy.

760
00:50:13,580 --> 00:50:15,950
Naidu has stockpiled
tons and tons of steel.

761
00:50:16,500 --> 00:50:19,120
Sir, he has paid the sales tax
for all that.

762
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:22,500
Mr. Collector, he melted
raw materials and made spare parts.

763
00:50:23,410 --> 00:50:24,910
Shouldn't he pay tax for that?

764
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:26,040
For example,

765
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:28,370
Naidu has paid tax only for the paddy.

766
00:50:28,540 --> 00:50:31,370
When the grain was harvested
and it was cooked as rice,

767
00:50:31,450 --> 00:50:32,540
no tax was paid.

768
00:50:32,620 --> 00:50:34,950
When the name and usage
of a product change,

769
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:36,700
he has to pay manufacturing tax.

770
00:50:36,790 --> 00:50:37,830
Sir.

771
00:50:37,910 --> 00:50:40,660
Only when the cooked rice is sold
in restaurants, he has to pay tax.

772
00:50:40,750 --> 00:50:43,000
Do we have to pay tax
to just boil and eat it?

773
00:50:43,950 --> 00:50:48,450
Sir, G. D. Naidu is manufacturing
spare parts only for his personal use.

774
00:50:48,950 --> 00:50:50,620
He is not doing business with all this.

775
00:50:50,910 --> 00:50:52,080
Can you prove it?

776
00:50:54,540 --> 00:50:55,410
Sir…

777
00:50:56,830 --> 00:50:59,870
These clever businessmen will
have multiple books of accounts.

778
00:51:00,790 --> 00:51:04,500
Actual accounts will be different
from what they show us.

779
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:06,080
Do you get it?

780
00:51:08,580 --> 00:51:10,200
Do you want to say anything?

781
00:51:10,910 --> 00:51:11,790
No, sir.

782
00:51:12,660 --> 00:51:13,700
Thank you, sir.

783
00:51:15,870 --> 00:51:17,000
Imbecile!

784
00:51:23,580 --> 00:51:24,950
Yeah, very good.

785
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:27,000
Sir.

786
00:51:27,290 --> 00:51:28,120
Tell me, Killi.

787
00:51:28,950 --> 00:51:32,950
I know one man who is ready to enforce
all your orders without any fear.

788
00:51:33,410 --> 00:51:34,660
Salem Income Tax Officer.

789
00:51:34,950 --> 00:51:37,040
His name is Ambalapara Krishnan.

790
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:41,370
I know this Krishnan.

791
00:51:42,750 --> 00:51:46,040
Do you call him by some nickname?

792
00:51:46,290 --> 00:51:47,250
Yes, sir.

793
00:51:48,580 --> 00:51:49,750
Lion of Salem!

794
00:51:49,870 --> 00:51:51,120
Get lost!

795
00:51:51,580 --> 00:51:52,620
Hey…

796
00:51:54,910 --> 00:51:57,040
I'll get even with you!

797
00:51:57,450 --> 00:51:59,830
Let's bring that lion to Coimbatore.

798
00:52:30,580 --> 00:52:32,000
G. D. NAIDU

799
00:52:32,830 --> 00:52:35,370
Sir, you've added Mr. G. D. Naidu
in the tax evaders list.

800
00:52:35,450 --> 00:52:36,410
Mohan.

801
00:52:36,500 --> 00:52:37,500
What is ALP?

802
00:52:37,910 --> 00:52:40,290
- Arms-length principle, sir.
- What does it mean?

803
00:52:40,620 --> 00:52:44,580
It's wrong to sell a product at a lower
price to friends and family, sir.

804
00:52:44,660 --> 00:52:45,660
Why?

805
00:52:45,790 --> 00:52:49,080
If they show less income,
they can pay less tax, sir.

806
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:51,580
Naidu has chosen exactly
that fraudulent route!

807
00:52:51,660 --> 00:52:52,660
For farmers' welfare--

808
00:52:52,750 --> 00:52:55,450
What do the records say?
It's a clear case.

809
00:52:55,620 --> 00:52:58,160
Clear evidence of underinvoicing!

810
00:52:58,290 --> 00:52:59,580
- Am I right?
- Yes, sir.

811
00:52:59,700 --> 00:53:01,580
He hasn't paid manufacturing tax.

812
00:53:01,660 --> 00:53:03,830
He has cheated on import duty.

813
00:53:04,370 --> 00:53:06,580
Follow the paper, Mohan.

814
00:53:06,660 --> 00:53:07,500
Okay, sir.

815
00:53:07,580 --> 00:53:13,250
Who is he to decide which taxes
he will pay and which taxes he won't?

816
00:53:13,790 --> 00:53:14,870
Is he the government?

817
00:53:16,370 --> 00:53:17,910
He's just a trader.

818
00:53:19,370 --> 00:53:21,370
Who was here
before I took up this position?

819
00:53:21,450 --> 00:53:22,660
Palanisamy, sir.

820
00:53:22,750 --> 00:53:24,040
Why?

821
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:26,080
He won't take any action against Naidu?

822
00:53:26,660 --> 00:53:27,950
Is he related to Naidu?

823
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:29,830
No, sir, he has high regard for--

824
00:53:29,910 --> 00:53:32,750
What bloody re-- Respect.

825
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:35,290
He's making millions via UMS.

826
00:53:35,700 --> 00:53:38,040
He has started many
polytechnic engineering colleges

827
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:40,080
and is charging huge fees.

828
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:43,790
Any industry he starts
is only making profits.

829
00:53:44,450 --> 00:53:48,200
But paying the tax promptly leaves
a bitter taste in his mouth, does it?

830
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:50,200
- Perunkilli.
- Yes, sir.

831
00:53:50,290 --> 00:53:52,910
Get the papers ready
to seize his imports and exports.

832
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:53,870
Okay, sir.

833
00:53:53,950 --> 00:53:55,200
- Sir, but he is--
- Mohan!

834
00:53:55,370 --> 00:53:56,450
It's an order.

835
00:53:56,540 --> 00:53:57,950
- Go.
- Okay, sir.

836
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:15,160
Pillai, not a single machine
will be delivered.

837
00:54:15,250 --> 00:54:16,080
Why so?

838
00:54:16,450 --> 00:54:19,370
An Income Tax Officer has come from Salem,
a real pain in the neck!

839
00:54:19,450 --> 00:54:22,200
He has seized all our shipments
at the harbor.

840
00:54:22,580 --> 00:54:26,330
Not only have they imposed ridiculous
taxes on our various inventions,

841
00:54:26,500 --> 00:54:28,580
they have also piled on false penalties.

842
00:54:29,500 --> 00:54:33,410
Those corrupt bandits
are cooking up ideas to take bribes…

843
00:54:33,660 --> 00:54:35,290
We've never encouraged that.

844
00:54:35,750 --> 00:54:38,950
They can't take even one <i>anna</i> as a bribe
from our company.

845
00:54:39,580 --> 00:54:44,830
Naidu is well aware
of how to treat these buggers.

846
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:52,830
Arrange a village council meeting
tomorrow evening.

847
00:54:52,910 --> 00:54:53,950
Okay, sir.

848
00:55:04,540 --> 00:55:07,660
Passengers to Government Hospital,
Pappampatti Junction, Sulur, get in.

849
00:55:07,750 --> 00:55:08,910
Get in, sir.

850
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:10,160
Get lost!

851
00:55:10,540 --> 00:55:12,660
Why are you being so rude?

852
00:55:12,910 --> 00:55:15,250
- Has everyone got down? Start the bus.
- Go away!

853
00:55:33,950 --> 00:55:35,040
Why are you walking in this rain?

854
00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:37,000
Can't you see?
The bicycle is broken.

855
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:39,040
- You could've taken the bus.
- Can't do that.

856
00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:41,080
All the buses are owned by UMS.

857
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:43,830
I won't contribute even a penny
to that tax evader.

858
00:55:43,910 --> 00:55:45,660
I don't like your attitude one bit.

859
00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:48,330
If you don't favor the idea,
you shouldn't go.

860
00:55:48,410 --> 00:55:52,500
If you go to the inauguration of an arts
college and say you want to demolish it,

861
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:54,160
will anyone keep quiet?

862
00:55:55,370 --> 00:55:56,700
What's wrong with what I said?

863
00:55:56,790 --> 00:55:58,910
Tell them we need
more engineering colleges.

864
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:01,500
Why would you say that we should
demolish all the arts colleges?

865
00:56:01,580 --> 00:56:03,410
Let us talk a bit practically, Naidu.

866
00:56:06,660 --> 00:56:08,580
I am talking about "practical" too.

867
00:56:09,370 --> 00:56:12,290
What can be taught in four days
with the help of a machine,

868
00:56:12,450 --> 00:56:16,000
your curriculum is like a rubber band
stretched with four years of theory.

869
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:18,290
Before he passes his exam,
even the technology will change.

870
00:56:18,370 --> 00:56:19,830
You have reduced the polytechnic course

871
00:56:19,910 --> 00:56:21,410
in your college to two years.

872
00:56:21,540 --> 00:56:23,040
Then why this misplaced anger?

873
00:56:23,620 --> 00:56:26,370
Doraiswamy, you tend
to think ahead of your time.

874
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:28,370
Society will move at its own slow pace.

875
00:56:28,450 --> 00:56:32,040
Like Arthur Hope College,
open more such polytechnic colleges.

876
00:56:32,500 --> 00:56:34,290
Open colleges for women.

877
00:56:34,450 --> 00:56:37,330
Make students of all castes
sit together as equals without bias.

878
00:56:37,410 --> 00:56:40,500
You should be the one to bring about
the change you believe in.

879
00:56:40,910 --> 00:56:43,950
And toss that darn cigarette.
Put an end to this nasty habit.

880
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:03,410
Why are the cops here?

881
00:57:03,660 --> 00:57:05,830
Hey! Did you take
all the items I mentioned?

882
00:57:06,330 --> 00:57:08,500
- Why is this here? Remove it, quick.
- Okay, sir.

883
00:57:08,580 --> 00:57:10,620
Hey! Why is a car parked there?

884
00:57:10,700 --> 00:57:12,120
- Sir, should that car be removed?
- Yes.

885
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:13,910
2802, remove that blue car.

886
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:15,160
Mohan, are you done?

887
00:57:15,370 --> 00:57:17,290
- They're numbering it, Killi.
- Quick, clear it.

888
00:57:17,370 --> 00:57:18,870
Bring all the items here.

889
00:57:19,540 --> 00:57:21,330
- What is happening, sir?
- I tried to stop them.

890
00:57:21,410 --> 00:57:23,500
But they ignored me and started
taking everything out.

891
00:57:23,580 --> 00:57:24,700
Oh, no.

892
00:57:26,250 --> 00:57:27,830
They are taking away everything.

893
00:57:29,500 --> 00:57:30,450
What are you doing?

894
00:57:30,580 --> 00:57:31,950
It was bought for children's education!

895
00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:33,370
- Why are you taking this?
- Hey!

896
00:57:33,450 --> 00:57:35,080
Hey, wait.

897
00:57:40,450 --> 00:57:42,500
If you don't pay your taxes properly,

898
00:57:42,660 --> 00:57:44,700
this is how we will take your stuff away.

899
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:50,040
Sir, they plan to auction off everything
they seized from your house and college.

900
00:57:50,580 --> 00:57:51,450
Naidu.

901
00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:53,200
Shall I look into it?

902
00:57:54,410 --> 00:57:55,660
Don't get involved, Giri.

903
00:57:56,700 --> 00:58:00,660
People will shamelessly claim that
I befriended you for selfish gains.

904
00:58:01,450 --> 00:58:04,250
No one should taint our friendship
because of this issue.

905
00:58:04,950 --> 00:58:06,200
I can handle this myself.

906
00:58:06,910 --> 00:58:08,580
<i>Ladies and gentlemen.</i>

907
00:58:08,660 --> 00:58:12,200
<i>A once-in-a-lifetime chance</i>
<i>to witness such an auction.</i>

908
00:58:12,450 --> 00:58:16,330
<i>Whoever wins this auction</i>
<i>is the luckiest man on earth.</i>

909
00:58:16,660 --> 00:58:18,200
<i>This is not an ordinary auction.</i>

910
00:58:18,290 --> 00:58:19,410
<i>A very lucky collection.</i>

911
00:58:19,500 --> 00:58:20,500
<i>Look over there.</i>

912
00:58:20,870 --> 00:58:22,750
<i>Rows of fancy cars shining bright.</i>

913
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:25,870
<i>Exquisitely crafted gold ornaments.</i>

914
00:58:26,330 --> 00:58:27,910
<i>Eye-catching sparkling diamonds.</i>

915
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:31,160
<i>Imported state-of-the-art machinery.</i>

916
00:58:31,620 --> 00:58:34,370
<i>Machines that cannot be found</i>
<i>anywhere in India.</i>

917
00:58:34,870 --> 00:58:38,040
<i>Once-in-a-generation opportunity.</i>

918
00:58:38,250 --> 00:58:40,620
<i>By bidding and paying the winning price,</i>

919
00:58:40,700 --> 00:58:45,500
<i>who will be fortunate enough</i>
<i>to live like royalty?</i>

920
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:48,160
Ladies, persuade your husbands.

921
00:58:48,540 --> 00:58:50,830
It's a once in a lifetime opportunity.

922
00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:54,620
Its total value will be
well over several million rupees.

923
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:57,580
But the opening bid…

924
00:58:57,790 --> 00:58:59,290
Is only one rupee!

925
00:59:03,450 --> 00:59:06,000
Sir, why are you offering items
worth millions for just one rupee?

926
00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:08,830
Don't we have to collect
the tax Naidu owes the government?

927
00:59:08,910 --> 00:59:11,870
Rajangam, if someone
bids for more than 100,000 rupees

928
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:13,700
Naidu need not even pay the penalty.

929
00:59:13,790 --> 00:59:15,790
But if everyone bids for one rupee,

930
00:59:15,870 --> 00:59:18,000
the balance has to be paid by Naidu.

931
00:59:18,330 --> 00:59:20,330
Why are you humiliating him
like this, sir?

932
00:59:20,410 --> 00:59:21,660
It's the collector's order.

933
00:59:21,750 --> 00:59:25,080
The highest bidder doesn't take home
just this rare collection of riches.

934
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:27,620
You will be taking Mahalakshmi,
the Goddess of wealth, to your house.

935
00:59:27,700 --> 00:59:29,500
The first man has stood up.

936
00:59:29,580 --> 00:59:30,830
Sir, open the bidding.

937
00:59:31,250 --> 00:59:32,410
I'm going to pee, sir.

938
00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:41,080
<i>Ladies, you can't even dream of all this.</i>
<i>Bid the lowest price for this fancy car.</i>

939
00:59:41,250 --> 00:59:44,620
<i>The time when luck will bless you</i>
<i>is just around the corner.</i>

940
00:59:44,750 --> 00:59:46,620
<i>Do not have second thoughts.</i>

941
00:59:53,500 --> 00:59:54,540
Mohan.

942
00:59:55,370 --> 00:59:57,080
We've been sitting here for three hours.

943
00:59:57,160 --> 00:59:59,000
Not a single person has placed a bid.

944
00:59:59,540 --> 01:00:00,370
What?

945
01:00:00,790 --> 01:00:03,700
Strange, no one here wants to bid?

946
01:00:06,700 --> 01:00:09,080
Somehow this doesn't seem right to me.

947
01:00:20,290 --> 01:00:21,120
Sir.

948
01:00:22,370 --> 01:00:25,080
Not only are they insulting us
by auctioning our possessions,

949
01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:27,500
but they are selling
all the items for just one rupee.

950
01:00:27,580 --> 01:00:28,620
But look, sir.

951
01:00:28,910 --> 01:00:30,950
Not a single person
raised their hand to bid, sir.

952
01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:32,750
<i>This is your final chance.</i>

953
01:00:58,370 --> 01:01:00,040
One rupee and three-quarter <i>anna</i>.

954
01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:04,660
I am bidding
for one rupee and three-quarter <i>anna</i>.

955
01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:09,870
Sir, owners cannot bid
for their own belongings.

956
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:11,370
Don't you know the law?

957
01:01:11,450 --> 01:01:15,120
The bidder's name is Ramaiah Pillai.

958
01:01:19,290 --> 01:01:20,200
Yes, sir.

959
01:01:22,910 --> 01:01:24,580
One rupee and three-quarter <i>anna</i>.

960
01:01:26,120 --> 01:01:28,120
His bid is
one rupee and three-quarter <i>anna</i>.

961
01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:29,750
Is anyone else topping his bid?

962
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:32,000
- One rupee and three-quarter <i>anna</i>.
- Hey!

963
01:01:32,370 --> 01:01:33,870
No one here will bid in this auction.

964
01:01:33,950 --> 01:01:36,290
What your government
could not do for 20 years,

965
01:01:36,370 --> 01:01:38,620
our Naidu has helped us tenfold!

966
01:01:38,700 --> 01:01:39,660
She is right.

967
01:01:39,750 --> 01:01:41,200
Cheap guys disgracing him!

968
01:01:48,790 --> 01:01:50,950
One rupee and three-quarter <i>anna</i>.
Going once.

969
01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:52,080
Going twice.

970
01:01:52,660 --> 01:01:53,700
Going thrice.

971
01:01:58,830 --> 01:02:00,250
I have two rupees.

972
01:02:00,830 --> 01:02:04,160
Please return the balance without fail.

973
01:02:26,620 --> 01:02:28,250
Long live, Mr. Naidu!

974
01:02:28,330 --> 01:02:30,790
Long live, Mr. Naidu!

975
01:02:34,450 --> 01:02:37,450
Long live, Mr. Naidu!

976
01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:40,450
Unbelievable respect
for a tax-dodging fraudster!

977
01:02:40,620 --> 01:02:44,120
These days, people can't tell
a gentleman from a con artist.

978
01:02:44,450 --> 01:02:47,580
All those who do business like this
swim in the same murky pond.

979
01:02:47,660 --> 01:02:49,790
Just to avoid paying tax,

980
01:02:49,870 --> 01:02:54,160
they give away some money
to the poor in the name of goodwill

981
01:02:54,250 --> 01:02:57,200
and hide their true and ill intentions.

982
01:02:57,620 --> 01:02:59,160
"Beloved people of this land!"

983
01:02:59,250 --> 01:03:03,160
"This Naidu has not paid tax in millions
for many years."

984
01:03:03,500 --> 01:03:06,660
If we announce it like that,
you think they will believe us?

985
01:03:07,160 --> 01:03:11,370
Because people do not have
a good opinion of our own department.

986
01:03:13,620 --> 01:03:17,910
The fact that Naidu is a tax dodger
should come from the press.

987
01:03:18,540 --> 01:03:20,200
People should read that news.

988
01:03:20,580 --> 01:03:24,120
People should gradually
lose their respect for him.

989
01:03:24,870 --> 01:03:26,080
- Mohan.
- Sir?

990
01:03:26,750 --> 01:03:30,950
Find a journalist today who is honest

991
01:03:31,160 --> 01:03:32,580
and ask him to start writing

992
01:03:32,660 --> 01:03:36,160
the truth behind Mr. G. D. Naidu
as a tax dodger.

993
01:03:36,250 --> 01:03:37,290
Okay, sir.

994
01:04:12,870 --> 01:04:13,790
Achudhan.

995
01:04:15,620 --> 01:04:16,620
Achudhan?

996
01:04:25,750 --> 01:04:27,290
- Mohan?
- Sir.

997
01:04:27,950 --> 01:04:29,750
Why did Achudhan come to our office?

998
01:04:29,910 --> 01:04:31,790
He collected the documents of Mr. Bond

999
01:04:31,870 --> 01:04:34,040
who has paid income tax
for the past three years.

1000
01:04:34,120 --> 01:04:36,660
Hey! Will you hand over whatever
to anyone asks you for?

1001
01:04:36,750 --> 01:04:39,330
I didn't know, sir.
He showed Bond's ID as per protocol.

1002
01:04:39,410 --> 01:04:40,950
- So I gave it, sir.
- That is fine.

1003
01:04:41,040 --> 01:04:45,040
I want to know why Naidu's men
are asking for Bond's documents.

1004
01:04:45,120 --> 01:04:46,200
Sir?

1005
01:04:46,330 --> 01:04:48,330
A man with a dog is here
creating such a ruckus.

1006
01:04:48,410 --> 01:04:50,750
I said dogs are not allowed inside,
but he refuses to listen, sir.

1007
01:04:50,830 --> 01:04:52,330
Pillai, take the dog out.

1008
01:04:52,410 --> 01:04:54,370
The collector is in a meeting.
He'll be mad if he finds out.

1009
01:04:54,450 --> 01:04:55,580
Let the collector come out.

1010
01:04:55,660 --> 01:04:57,160
Sir, shall we?

1011
01:04:57,660 --> 01:04:58,790
No, I'll take care.

1012
01:05:05,040 --> 01:05:06,370
The collector is here.

1013
01:05:06,540 --> 01:05:07,870
Greetings, sir.

1014
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:09,750
We are meeting frequently nowadays.

1015
01:05:09,870 --> 01:05:13,910
Did someone from your office
collect Mr. Bond's income tax documents?

1016
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:15,200
Yes, we did.

1017
01:05:15,290 --> 01:05:16,830
Mr. Bond is a minor.

1018
01:05:16,950 --> 01:05:18,080
I am the guardian.

1019
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:20,750
He has been paying income tax
promptly for the past three years.

1020
01:05:20,830 --> 01:05:22,580
You must have checked the documents.

1021
01:05:22,660 --> 01:05:24,290
If he is a diligent taxpayer,

1022
01:05:24,580 --> 01:05:26,790
why didn't he come and meet me directly
in my office?

1023
01:05:26,870 --> 01:05:28,500
Why send people like you here?

1024
01:05:28,790 --> 01:05:30,830
Exactly, that's my opinion too.

1025
01:05:30,910 --> 01:05:33,200
But they refused
to allow dogs in the office.

1026
01:05:33,540 --> 01:05:37,500
I want to know, is this the respect
you show to perfectly prompt taxpayers?

1027
01:05:44,910 --> 01:05:46,500
What are you trying to say, man?

1028
01:05:47,750 --> 01:05:49,580
This is Mr. Bond!

1029
01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:56,120
Bond, this is a British loyalist.

1030
01:05:56,500 --> 01:05:59,450
An integrity-conscious income tax officer.

1031
01:05:59,580 --> 01:06:03,330
His name is Mr. Ambalapara Krishnan.

1032
01:06:03,790 --> 01:06:06,750
He follows what's on paper to the T.

1033
01:06:07,080 --> 01:06:08,250
Greet him.

1034
01:06:09,540 --> 01:06:10,620
Oh, no! Bond.

1035
01:06:10,870 --> 01:06:12,370
You have a short fuse.

1036
01:06:12,500 --> 01:06:15,000
We have been paying taxes promptly
for the past three years, sir.

1037
01:06:15,080 --> 01:06:18,870
But the department is unaware
if the taxpayer is human or an animal.

1038
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:21,700
They have this one-track mind
to snatch the tax.

1039
01:06:22,080 --> 01:06:25,000
If you ask, they will justify
it is their rules and protocols on paper.

1040
01:06:25,080 --> 01:06:26,450
What the hell can we do, sir?

1041
01:06:26,540 --> 01:06:27,620
Ramaiah Pillai.

1042
01:06:27,910 --> 01:06:29,580
This is a government office.

1043
01:06:29,830 --> 01:06:32,410
If you create a scene here,
I will be forced to call the police.

1044
01:06:32,500 --> 01:06:35,500
If I ask for justice, will you
accuse me of creating trouble?

1045
01:06:35,830 --> 01:06:39,660
Mr. Naidu started questioning you
only after you began levying unjust taxes.

1046
01:06:39,910 --> 01:06:42,000
Till then, he was a prompt tax payer.

1047
01:06:42,290 --> 01:06:45,410
When he started questioning you,
you piled a penalty on him.

1048
01:06:45,660 --> 01:06:47,790
Then heaped more penalties unjustly.

1049
01:06:47,870 --> 01:06:49,790
Naidu understood that
you had begun to loot.

1050
01:06:49,870 --> 01:06:54,290
That's why he began serving
the nation and its people directly.

1051
01:06:54,370 --> 01:06:56,540
File as many cases as you want
against him.

1052
01:06:56,620 --> 01:06:59,700
Bring in your men to confiscate his assets
as many times as you want.

1053
01:06:59,790 --> 01:07:05,120
But you can't touch Naidu's pet dog,
let alone Naidu himself.

1054
01:07:05,790 --> 01:07:07,040
- Perunkilli.
- Sir?

1055
01:07:07,410 --> 01:07:09,700
If this man utters one more word,

1056
01:07:10,040 --> 01:07:11,330
- call the police.
- Yes, sir.

1057
01:07:11,410 --> 01:07:12,500
Oh, no!

1058
01:07:13,910 --> 01:07:15,790
I won't utter another word, sir.

1059
01:07:16,040 --> 01:07:18,330
But, I will write.

1060
01:07:18,660 --> 01:07:22,660
In whichever paper you intend
to defame Mr. Naidu's reputation,

1061
01:07:22,910 --> 01:07:25,580
in that same newspaper
and the same page…

1062
01:07:25,660 --> 01:07:31,450
"Income tax officials who claim
that Mr. G. D. Naidu is a tax dodger

1063
01:07:31,540 --> 01:07:36,080
are not the least bit concerned about
a dog paying tax for three years.''

1064
01:07:36,250 --> 01:07:39,120
''They have been pocketing
that money happily."

1065
01:07:39,950 --> 01:07:41,120
That's all I will write.

1066
01:07:41,450 --> 01:07:43,410
Let the general public read both the news.

1067
01:07:43,500 --> 01:07:47,040
Then let us see whether
their respect for Naidu increases

1068
01:07:47,370 --> 01:07:53,200
or whatever shred of respect
they have for you vanishes.

1069
01:07:57,000 --> 01:07:59,330
Are you trying to tarnish my integrity?

1070
01:07:59,450 --> 01:08:01,450
Oh! Integrity?

1071
01:08:02,660 --> 01:08:05,660
Your Naidu has to answer to this.

1072
01:08:07,080 --> 01:08:11,830
I will make him apologize to me
for all his wrongdoings.

1073
01:08:11,910 --> 01:08:14,000
I will ensure he pays the tax he dodged.

1074
01:08:14,830 --> 01:08:16,910
I'll tear off the fake mask he wears

1075
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:20,000
to fool innocent people
into thinking he's a good man.

1076
01:08:20,500 --> 01:08:23,000
Words from a pure heart
will come true, man.

1077
01:08:23,580 --> 01:08:25,080
Mark my words.

1078
01:08:25,250 --> 01:08:30,500
From today, your Naidu
will not get to sleep peacefully.

1079
01:08:45,620 --> 01:08:46,950
Well done, dear Bond.

1080
01:08:57,410 --> 01:08:59,120
<i>A dog was paying tax, it seems.</i>

1081
01:08:59,330 --> 01:09:01,830
Did you accept it with intent
or were you ignorant?

1082
01:09:04,870 --> 01:09:08,120
Sir, we now doubt whether the taxes
you collected from us were justified.

1083
01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:10,200
Sir, I'm asking you.
Please respond, sir.

1084
01:09:23,700 --> 01:09:24,660
What are you gaping at?

1085
01:09:24,750 --> 01:09:28,250
N. S. Krishnan and M. R. Radha
are traveling in G. D. Naidu's car, sir.

1086
01:09:29,080 --> 01:09:30,160
Prototype.

1087
01:09:31,370 --> 01:09:32,870
Can this car be driven on the road?

1088
01:09:32,950 --> 01:09:36,580
Sir, to drive that car, a separate
practice ground has been allocated.

1089
01:09:36,660 --> 01:09:38,160
Driving on this road is wrong.

1090
01:09:39,120 --> 01:09:40,950
Go straight to the police station.

1091
01:09:41,200 --> 01:09:42,040
Okay, sir.

1092
01:09:50,620 --> 01:09:52,750
- What do you think, NSK?
- Spectacular.

1093
01:09:54,080 --> 01:09:58,410
Make a film that teaches students
the importance of education.

1094
01:09:58,830 --> 01:10:00,120
Mr. Naidu.

1095
01:10:00,540 --> 01:10:04,080
Cinema should have
two fight scenes, four songs

1096
01:10:04,200 --> 01:10:07,370
with celestial nymphs like Menaka
and Rambha dancing enticingly.

1097
01:10:07,580 --> 01:10:10,750
Only then the audience will come
to the theaters to be entertained.

1098
01:10:10,830 --> 01:10:14,790
Now that will make the bosses happy,
and we can make some money.

1099
01:10:15,500 --> 01:10:18,410
But you want children
who don't study in school

1100
01:10:18,500 --> 01:10:21,000
to watch a movie
in a theater for education?

1101
01:10:21,080 --> 01:10:23,370
Which age are you living in, Naidu?

1102
01:10:23,580 --> 01:10:26,160
Why do you nod your head
so vehemently, Krishnan?

1103
01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:34,330
- Naidu?
- Huh?

1104
01:10:34,410 --> 01:10:36,580
Isn't that a police car chasing us?

1105
01:10:40,040 --> 01:10:41,250
Oh, yes!

1106
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:43,500
Naidu, is it a laughing matter?

1107
01:10:43,580 --> 01:10:46,580
Didn't you say we should laugh
when trouble comes chasing us?

1108
01:10:46,660 --> 01:10:48,700
That's the biggest boomerang, I swear!

1109
01:10:49,250 --> 01:10:52,080
The police and us are never
on the same side, Mr. Naidu.

1110
01:10:52,160 --> 01:10:55,200
Got a gun or something on you?
We'll finish them off and flee.

1111
01:10:57,160 --> 01:10:59,870
No need for such drastic measures.
I have a testing permit.

1112
01:10:59,950 --> 01:11:02,200
That's a relief.
Why not show them the permit?

1113
01:11:02,620 --> 01:11:05,330
Let them first catch up with us.
Then we can show them.

1114
01:11:14,580 --> 01:11:15,500
Faster!

1115
01:11:16,370 --> 01:11:18,660
- Go…go, man
- They are catching up, Naidu.

1116
01:11:18,870 --> 01:11:21,000
They are closing in, Naidu.

1117
01:11:21,160 --> 01:11:22,330
They are catching up.

1118
01:11:22,410 --> 01:11:25,000
Naidu, this is rocket speed!

1119
01:11:28,370 --> 01:11:29,540
Go, go, go!

1120
01:11:33,700 --> 01:11:35,660
- Naidu, they are catching up.
- Speed up!

1121
01:11:35,950 --> 01:11:37,250
Speed up!

1122
01:11:37,330 --> 01:11:39,330
We can arrest him
only if we nab him while driving.

1123
01:11:39,410 --> 01:11:40,750
Speed up to catch him.

1124
01:11:42,620 --> 01:11:43,910
Careful…

1125
01:11:47,250 --> 01:11:49,080
Oh, no! Naidu.

1126
01:11:49,700 --> 01:11:51,620
They are hot on our heels, Naidu.

1127
01:11:51,700 --> 01:11:54,870
With your act of defiance, looks like
even your permit won't save us today.

1128
01:11:54,950 --> 01:11:56,580
Worry not, NSK.

1129
01:11:56,870 --> 01:11:59,120
Our prototype is a four-wheel ride.

1130
01:11:59,750 --> 01:12:00,790
They are coming, Naidu.

1131
01:12:00,870 --> 01:12:03,080
They are closing in on us.
Speed up, Naidu!

1132
01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:16,700
- Mr. Naidu.
- Huh?

1133
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:19,950
Not just the car,
that khaki uniform bit the dust too.

1134
01:12:23,790 --> 01:12:24,750
Mr. Naidu.

1135
01:12:24,870 --> 01:12:26,910
Don't assume the police have given up.

1136
01:12:27,040 --> 01:12:29,330
They will sniff us out like hounds.

1137
01:12:29,410 --> 01:12:30,500
Dirty fellows!

1138
01:12:31,790 --> 01:12:35,000
He brought the comfort of bus travel
to people who used ox carts.

1139
01:12:35,120 --> 01:12:36,660
They created problem then.

1140
01:12:36,870 --> 01:12:40,040
Now Naidu's goal is for
the common folk to travel by car.

1141
01:12:40,290 --> 01:12:42,660
To make cars affordable,

1142
01:12:42,830 --> 01:12:45,000
he has assembled a prototype.

1143
01:12:45,410 --> 01:12:47,540
Those wretched fellows
have landed here too.

1144
01:12:47,620 --> 01:12:49,540
Sir, car means affluence, right?

1145
01:12:50,080 --> 01:12:53,200
How can it be made cheap enough
for the common man to afford it?

1146
01:12:53,290 --> 01:12:55,330
- It is possible.
- Huh?

1147
01:12:55,830 --> 01:12:58,620
You know Hitler from Germany?

1148
01:12:59,120 --> 01:13:02,200
He used this same method
to build low-cost cars.

1149
01:13:02,370 --> 01:13:05,620
There's a rumor going around that he plans
to make it available to the common man.

1150
01:13:05,700 --> 01:13:08,700
The two of us are planning
to go to Germany.

1151
01:13:08,830 --> 01:13:11,700
If we can prove that their
cars can be manufactured

1152
01:13:11,790 --> 01:13:14,330
in our country at a cheaper price,

1153
01:13:14,700 --> 01:13:16,790
they will set up their factories here.

1154
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:19,250
We will also get to know the techniques.

1155
01:13:19,330 --> 01:13:20,540
Then next step?

1156
01:13:20,620 --> 01:13:23,080
We will also manufacture cars
at an affordable price

1157
01:13:23,160 --> 01:13:25,120
and offer it to our people.

1158
01:13:25,200 --> 01:13:26,500
Mr. Pillai!

1159
01:13:26,620 --> 01:13:28,790
These British fellows don't like Germans.

1160
01:13:28,870 --> 01:13:30,250
Nor do they like our Naidu.

1161
01:13:30,330 --> 01:13:34,200
But you're saying you will join hands
with the Germans and do business?

1162
01:13:34,450 --> 01:13:36,500
He won't let you go out of this country.

1163
01:13:36,580 --> 01:13:39,160
Only God can help you get
the stamp of approval, Mr. Naidu.

1164
01:13:39,250 --> 01:13:41,620
Radha, we have an idea for that.

1165
01:13:41,910 --> 01:13:43,750
You know the razor blade
Naidu has invented?

1166
01:13:43,830 --> 01:13:45,120
UMS blade.

1167
01:13:45,500 --> 01:13:47,370
- What was the name of that place again…
- Leipzig.

1168
01:13:47,450 --> 01:13:48,450
Leipzig.

1169
01:13:48,540 --> 01:13:50,500
We'll attend a trade fair in that city

1170
01:13:50,750 --> 01:13:52,450
to showcase the blade over there.

1171
01:13:52,620 --> 01:13:54,450
We have got the nomination

1172
01:13:54,830 --> 01:13:56,330
and the invitation too.

1173
01:13:56,580 --> 01:13:58,500
We go to display the blade

1174
01:13:58,580 --> 01:14:00,540
and seal the car deal at the same time.

1175
01:14:00,830 --> 01:14:02,120
Remarkable!

1176
01:14:02,250 --> 01:14:04,370
You're doing this
for the good of our people.

1177
01:14:04,450 --> 01:14:05,790
Everything will be for the good.

1178
01:14:05,870 --> 01:14:07,870
Forget the good outcome.

1179
01:14:08,040 --> 01:14:09,790
Look at the trouble
coming right behind you.

1180
01:14:09,870 --> 01:14:10,950
They are here?

1181
01:14:16,290 --> 01:14:20,040
Sir, we saw you driving
a prototype car this morning.

1182
01:14:20,120 --> 01:14:22,040
- It's illegal.
- Car, huh?

1183
01:14:22,120 --> 01:14:24,540
Mr. Naidu, why haven't you
taken us for a drive yet?

1184
01:14:24,620 --> 01:14:27,250
Wouldn't he have taken us for a drive
if such a car existed?

1185
01:14:27,330 --> 01:14:28,830
What are you saying, officer?

1186
01:14:28,910 --> 01:14:30,370
Are you acting funny with me, sir?

1187
01:14:30,450 --> 01:14:34,000
Are we his friends or family
to pull his leg?

1188
01:14:34,330 --> 01:14:35,870
Constables, search!

1189
01:14:36,120 --> 01:14:37,290
Search thoroughly.

1190
01:14:37,370 --> 01:14:41,330
I've been searching for the past two days.
It seems to be playing hide and seek!

1191
01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:47,080
You couldn't find such a big car?

1192
01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:49,080
Sir.

1193
01:14:49,660 --> 01:14:53,000
It took us only one hour to locate him.

1194
01:14:54,080 --> 01:14:57,700
But by then, he had dismantled
the car and removed all traces of it.

1195
01:14:58,120 --> 01:15:00,540
We were unable to catch him
with the car intact, sir.

1196
01:15:00,620 --> 01:15:01,700
Constables.

1197
01:15:03,080 --> 01:15:04,080
Sir, look at this.

1198
01:15:04,620 --> 01:15:06,830
G. D. Naidu's new scheme
to build a house in 24 hours.

1199
01:15:06,910 --> 01:15:08,950
He has invited V. V. Giri
to inaugurate the foundation.

1200
01:15:09,040 --> 01:15:11,410
He built the house in just one day
and even invited V.V. Giri

1201
01:15:11,500 --> 01:15:13,660
to inaugurate it the very same evening.

1202
01:15:13,910 --> 01:15:15,370
He has gone way beyond our grasp.

1203
01:15:15,450 --> 01:15:17,830
Trying to nab him is
becoming tougher by the day.

1204
01:15:22,200 --> 01:15:23,620
- Killi.
- Sir?

1205
01:15:24,160 --> 01:15:26,290
A man is piling up a list of wrongdoings.

1206
01:15:26,950 --> 01:15:28,540
How far can he go?

1207
01:15:29,120 --> 01:15:30,450
Let me wait and watch.

1208
01:15:36,950 --> 01:15:39,580
EN ROUTE GERMANY

1209
01:15:43,700 --> 01:15:46,040
Shall we place
that chassis blueprint on top?

1210
01:15:46,120 --> 01:15:47,000
Yes.

1211
01:15:54,660 --> 01:15:57,200
Mom, it's broken.

1212
01:16:06,370 --> 01:16:07,870
- What, Sundaram?
- Sir?

1213
01:16:07,950 --> 01:16:10,330
Your body is moving forward
but your eyeballs are reversing!

1214
01:16:10,410 --> 01:16:12,500
Sir, we have spent 30 days on this ship.

1215
01:16:12,580 --> 01:16:14,080
My eyes can see only miles of blue sea.

1216
01:16:14,160 --> 01:16:16,830
That was just a simple act
of appreciating beauty, sir.

1217
01:16:16,910 --> 01:16:18,660
Sundaram, please bring that over here.

1218
01:16:18,750 --> 01:16:19,870
What… Oh, this?

1219
01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:26,200
Thank you, madam.

1220
01:16:26,290 --> 01:16:28,700
In broad daylight?
That too in front of our boss?

1221
01:16:28,790 --> 01:16:29,830
That's alright.

1222
01:16:30,200 --> 01:16:31,410
Is that whiskey?

1223
01:16:31,500 --> 01:16:33,250
It is whiskey but not for drinking.

1224
01:16:33,540 --> 01:16:35,040
- Then for what?
- For this nick.

1225
01:16:36,830 --> 01:16:37,950
How did that happen?

1226
01:16:38,200 --> 01:16:39,790
Sir, I used our UMS blade.

1227
01:16:39,950 --> 01:16:42,540
Even after 20 shaves,
it stayed sharp as ever.

1228
01:16:42,790 --> 01:16:45,250
But the rocking of this ship
caused this mild cut.

1229
01:16:45,660 --> 01:16:47,950
When you shave,
there should be no cuts or nicks.

1230
01:16:48,040 --> 01:16:50,830
We need a blade
that glides softly as butter.

1231
01:16:50,910 --> 01:16:52,830
Imagine the satisfaction you will get.

1232
01:16:53,700 --> 01:16:56,410
You should not use a butter knife
to slice a loaf of bread, Louisa.

1233
01:16:56,500 --> 01:16:58,370
Use the knife with serrated edges.

1234
01:16:58,450 --> 01:17:00,950
Only then will it cut smoothly
and perfectly.

1235
01:17:41,790 --> 01:17:45,040
Sir, I told you
only because I nicked my throat.

1236
01:17:45,500 --> 01:17:47,370
You've attached a motor to shave now.

1237
01:17:47,620 --> 01:17:49,660
Now I'll have scars all over
like shovel marks.

1238
01:17:49,750 --> 01:17:51,250
Don't worry.
Nothing will happen.

1239
01:17:51,330 --> 01:17:54,700
This is a small sacrifice to see
if your boss's invention works.

1240
01:17:55,040 --> 01:17:59,120
When new drugs are discovered in the West,
scientists experiment on lab mice.

1241
01:17:59,200 --> 01:18:00,540
This is the same situation.

1242
01:18:00,660 --> 01:18:01,700
Mice?

1243
01:18:02,540 --> 01:18:05,330
He has a better beard than mine.
Why not experiment on him?

1244
01:18:05,410 --> 01:18:07,660
I've taken a vow for Lord Murugan.

1245
01:18:08,910 --> 01:18:10,410
You can't tamper with it.

1246
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:12,620
Okay, first you try.

1247
01:18:13,950 --> 01:18:15,080
Lord Murugan.

1248
01:18:48,830 --> 01:18:49,700
Sir.

1249
01:18:50,080 --> 01:18:51,950
Not even a single nick on my face.

1250
01:18:52,790 --> 01:18:55,330
Your skin is as soft as a baby's bottom.

1251
01:18:55,750 --> 01:18:58,620
Sir, if Hitler tries to shave
with this razor,

1252
01:18:58,700 --> 01:19:00,660
he will be astounded by your invention.

1253
01:19:00,750 --> 01:19:04,200
Sir, we must definitely send this
to the next trade fair competition.

1254
01:19:06,660 --> 01:19:08,450
Sir, I found out
the meaning of your words.

1255
01:19:08,540 --> 01:19:10,200
<i>Rasant</i> means fast in German.

1256
01:19:10,290 --> 01:19:12,500
- A wonderful name for our razor.
- Yes, Pillai.

1257
01:19:12,580 --> 01:19:14,580
Rasant razor which we will
manufacture and sell

1258
01:19:14,660 --> 01:19:18,080
should be the first cost-effective
vibrating electric shaver in the world.

1259
01:19:18,160 --> 01:19:21,120
Yes, Naidu, we can find
good electric motors in Germany.

1260
01:19:21,250 --> 01:19:23,660
We can buy this handle from Switzerland.

1261
01:19:23,750 --> 01:19:26,620
Then this steel required
to make the blade…

1262
01:19:26,700 --> 01:19:28,450
We can import it from Sweden.

1263
01:19:28,540 --> 01:19:30,040
We can set up a factory in Coimbatore.

1264
01:19:30,120 --> 01:19:31,540
Brilliant idea!

1265
01:19:31,790 --> 01:19:33,200
He's here. He's here.

1266
01:19:38,450 --> 01:19:40,750
- Should we also raise our hands?
- No, no need.

1267
01:19:52,080 --> 01:19:53,080
One second.

1268
01:19:53,160 --> 01:19:54,540
- No…
- Just one photo.

1269
01:19:54,620 --> 01:19:56,000
One photo.

1270
01:19:56,080 --> 01:19:58,330
Hey! Let go.
Where are you taking me?

1271
01:19:58,410 --> 01:19:59,700
Let go of him.

1272
01:19:59,790 --> 01:20:01,000
Sir…

1273
01:20:08,750 --> 01:20:11,410
All of you, go that side, quick.

1274
01:20:18,750 --> 01:20:19,910
What, sir? What is the matter?

1275
01:20:20,000 --> 01:20:21,450
Search and seizure operation.

1276
01:20:21,790 --> 01:20:23,910
- On what basis?
- Based on suspicion.

1277
01:20:24,370 --> 01:20:27,500
The machines Naidu used for counterfeiting
and the fake notes are hoarded here

1278
01:20:27,580 --> 01:20:29,830
according to the information
we have received.

1279
01:20:29,910 --> 01:20:32,500
Do you have any factual evidence
for your assertions?

1280
01:20:33,000 --> 01:20:35,000
You acted on some random tip
and decided to raid us.

1281
01:20:35,080 --> 01:20:38,330
We got word of unaccounted cash
and gold being stashed here.

1282
01:20:38,410 --> 01:20:40,000
- Who the hell said so, man?
- Hey!

1283
01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:44,080
- Mohan.
- Sir.

1284
01:20:44,620 --> 01:20:45,950
Where is the Accounts room?

1285
01:20:46,200 --> 01:20:47,120
No one should move.

1286
01:20:47,200 --> 01:20:48,450
Those of you outside
should not enter.

1287
01:20:48,540 --> 01:20:50,330
Those inside should not exit.

1288
01:20:51,410 --> 01:20:53,750
What's the use of being flustered now?

1289
01:20:53,830 --> 01:20:54,910
Excuse me, madam.

1290
01:20:56,620 --> 01:20:58,830
They want access to our Accounts room.

1291
01:20:58,910 --> 01:21:00,370
How can we do that?

1292
01:21:00,500 --> 01:21:02,410
I can seat them in the meeting hall
and get the docume--

1293
01:21:02,500 --> 01:21:03,620
Mr. Achudhan.

1294
01:21:04,080 --> 01:21:06,500
Just give whichever room
they need access to.

1295
01:21:07,750 --> 01:21:10,290
We should be scared
only if we are hiding something.

1296
01:21:10,750 --> 01:21:12,370
At a time when the boss isn't here…

1297
01:21:12,450 --> 01:21:15,080
Even if he had been here,
he would have done the same.

1298
01:21:15,870 --> 01:21:17,120
POLICE

1299
01:21:17,200 --> 01:21:18,410
What is this city, sir?

1300
01:21:18,660 --> 01:21:20,870
Will they arrest us
just for clicking photos?

1301
01:21:21,160 --> 01:21:22,500
- Sundaram.
- Sir?

1302
01:21:22,660 --> 01:21:24,830
I heard they don't allow
anyone to utter a single word.

1303
01:21:24,910 --> 01:21:27,620
Only their guns do the talking, it seems.

1304
01:21:27,910 --> 01:21:30,250
Our Naidu lets his tongue
run when riled up.

1305
01:21:30,700 --> 01:21:32,700
- Wonder what is happening.
- Sir.

1306
01:21:33,330 --> 01:21:35,620
Why? Let us think positive.

1307
01:21:36,040 --> 01:21:37,160
Wishful thinking.

1308
01:21:37,330 --> 01:21:40,290
Can you arrange
for his release now?

1309
01:21:40,370 --> 01:21:42,410
- Sure.
- Henrick.

1310
01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:44,290
No need to be scared.

1311
01:21:44,370 --> 01:21:45,410
He is right here.

1312
01:21:45,500 --> 01:21:46,700
Come with me.

1313
01:21:49,580 --> 01:21:52,250
They released him.
But he refused to leave.

1314
01:21:52,330 --> 01:21:53,750
What is going on in his mind?

1315
01:21:53,830 --> 01:21:56,290
Whatever wretchedness
only he has to blurt it out.

1316
01:22:17,950 --> 01:22:19,330
Oh, no!

1317
01:22:27,370 --> 01:22:28,500
What is this, Pillai?

1318
01:22:29,040 --> 01:22:31,290
I thought you would take
at least two months to track me down.

1319
01:22:31,370 --> 01:22:33,040
But here you are in two days.

1320
01:22:33,290 --> 01:22:34,540
Sir, what is this?

1321
01:22:34,620 --> 01:22:37,040
Be practical.
It's freezing cold outside.

1322
01:22:37,120 --> 01:22:38,250
If I ask for a vegetarian meal,

1323
01:22:38,330 --> 01:22:41,000
without making a face, they serve
unlimited, piping hot food.

1324
01:22:41,080 --> 01:22:42,120
I have an idea.

1325
01:22:42,500 --> 01:22:43,910
Why don't you both
finish all the work?

1326
01:22:44,000 --> 01:22:45,160
I'll stay here a couple of days.

1327
01:22:45,250 --> 01:22:46,700
Is this your idea of a joke?

1328
01:22:47,080 --> 01:22:50,580
Our blade is being awarded
a prize at the Leipzig Fair.

1329
01:22:50,910 --> 01:22:52,620
How can we receive it without you?

1330
01:22:55,040 --> 01:22:56,660
- Is that true, Pillai?
- Yes.

1331
01:23:01,540 --> 01:23:03,540
Come on. Don't dawdle.

1332
01:23:03,790 --> 01:23:04,870
I'm going.

1333
01:23:06,200 --> 01:23:08,580
Don't eat anything offered to you
by anyone at the raid venue.

1334
01:23:08,660 --> 01:23:10,750
- Everything is arranged by us, Mohan.
- Okay.

1335
01:23:10,830 --> 01:23:12,910
- Mohan.
- Sir, I've checked.

1336
01:23:13,370 --> 01:23:15,620
No black money or gold
is hoarded inside, sir.

1337
01:23:15,910 --> 01:23:17,660
Where were you
all this while, Mr. Mohan?

1338
01:23:17,750 --> 01:23:19,580
Checking the locker room downstairs--

1339
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:31,250
Hey! Police!

1340
01:23:31,700 --> 01:23:32,870
Call the fire force!

1341
01:23:34,160 --> 01:23:36,450
Sir, I am sure this is their doing.

1342
01:23:46,290 --> 01:23:50,200
Ladies and gentlemen, a huge round
of applause for Mr. G. Doraiswamy Naidu

1343
01:23:50,290 --> 01:23:53,910
for winning the prestigious
third prize at this year's Leipzig Fair.

1344
01:24:00,660 --> 01:24:05,250
LEIPZIG TRADE FAIR

1345
01:24:05,580 --> 01:24:06,660
Pillai.

1346
01:24:07,540 --> 01:24:09,870
This is an air-cooled engine.
I told you, right?

1347
01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:11,790
- So cheap and efficient.
- Sir.

1348
01:24:11,870 --> 01:24:14,200
We have got an appointment
with the Benz authorities.

1349
01:24:14,290 --> 01:24:16,660
- Shall we go?
- Come…

1350
01:24:24,870 --> 01:24:27,330
I've got a new idea
for the valve lock technology.

1351
01:24:30,160 --> 01:24:31,450
I'd like to show--

1352
01:24:31,620 --> 01:24:33,080
Naidu is here.

1353
01:24:33,540 --> 01:24:34,540
Naidu?

1354
01:24:37,200 --> 01:24:39,580
Mr. Naidu.
Congratulations on your award.

1355
01:24:40,160 --> 01:24:42,330
<i>Danke schoen.</i>

1356
01:24:45,250 --> 01:24:49,620
You are manufacturing
foreign spare parts in India.

1357
01:24:49,750 --> 01:24:51,950
Their business is being severely affected.

1358
01:24:52,040 --> 01:24:53,250
How is that possible, sir?

1359
01:24:53,330 --> 01:24:57,120
If car manufacturers don't hike the price
of spare parts for excess profit,

1360
01:24:57,200 --> 01:24:59,620
why would I manufacture them myself?

1361
01:25:03,830 --> 01:25:06,330
Don't get me wrong.
I meant it as a compliment.

1362
01:25:09,750 --> 01:25:11,500
We would like to collaborate with you.

1363
01:25:11,580 --> 01:25:13,410
Why don't you send us a proposal?

1364
01:25:13,750 --> 01:25:15,910
Oh, my God, sir.
I will be delighted to.

1365
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:17,660
- I didn't expect this.
- Of course.

1366
01:25:17,950 --> 01:25:18,910
Thank you.

1367
01:25:19,040 --> 01:25:20,870
Mr. Rudolph, about this
valve lock technology…

1368
01:25:20,950 --> 01:25:22,000
Later…

1369
01:25:22,080 --> 01:25:23,290
Come for coffee.

1370
01:25:23,370 --> 01:25:24,200
Yes.

1371
01:25:29,660 --> 01:25:33,000
MADRAS HARBOR

1372
01:25:36,120 --> 01:25:37,750
Hello, G. D. Welcome back.

1373
01:25:37,830 --> 01:25:39,290
Hi, Doctor. How are you?

1374
01:25:39,450 --> 01:25:41,700
I am good as always.
Ranganayaki is waiting for you.

1375
01:25:45,580 --> 01:25:46,830
How are you, dear?

1376
01:25:49,250 --> 01:25:50,830
I'm good. How are you?

1377
01:25:51,540 --> 01:25:52,700
I am good too.

1378
01:25:52,790 --> 01:25:54,330
How is everyone at home?

1379
01:25:55,040 --> 01:25:56,250
They are doing well too.

1380
01:26:00,540 --> 01:26:02,500
You jinxed everything.

1381
01:26:03,080 --> 01:26:05,000
Such a downpour on our grove.

1382
01:26:05,750 --> 01:26:07,370
We didn't get a single mango.

1383
01:26:07,870 --> 01:26:09,000
And our house help, Devi,

1384
01:26:09,080 --> 01:26:11,750
has not come to clean the house
for more than a month.

1385
01:26:12,580 --> 01:26:15,580
Hey! Did you bring down the rice fritters
I had dried on the terrace?

1386
01:26:15,660 --> 01:26:17,290
- Yes, I did.
- Your favorite…

1387
01:26:18,700 --> 01:26:20,450
If they burn our documents,

1388
01:26:21,120 --> 01:26:24,000
we cannot prove that they levied
false tax penalties on us.

1389
01:26:24,160 --> 01:26:27,370
They made sure there is
no evidence whatsoever, sir.

1390
01:26:30,910 --> 01:26:32,410
They have set the fire, right?

1391
01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:36,330
No one can extinguish that fire hereafter.

1392
01:26:39,250 --> 01:26:40,160
Come on.

1393
01:26:46,870 --> 01:26:47,870
Greetings, sir.

1394
01:26:49,370 --> 01:26:51,870
Ramaiah Pillai,
say what you want to say and leave.

1395
01:26:52,250 --> 01:26:55,040
What is this, Sundaram?
Aren't the British our enemies?

1396
01:26:55,120 --> 01:26:56,950
We should actually be opposing them.

1397
01:26:57,120 --> 01:26:58,830
But our own people
seem to be our enemies.

1398
01:26:58,910 --> 01:27:00,580
To traitors like you,

1399
01:27:01,410 --> 01:27:03,410
we will appear like enemies, Pillai.

1400
01:27:03,950 --> 01:27:05,160
Your wit is commendable!

1401
01:27:05,500 --> 01:27:08,250
The Industrial Revolution
in our Kongu belt

1402
01:27:08,410 --> 01:27:10,540
will transform into our nation's growth.

1403
01:27:10,620 --> 01:27:12,870
We have been planning
with foresight, you see.

1404
01:27:12,950 --> 01:27:14,500
Yes, we are traitors.

1405
01:27:15,000 --> 01:27:18,080
If diligent taxpayers say this,
we can listen with due respect.

1406
01:27:18,660 --> 01:27:21,830
You are so confident because
the tax documents are burnt, right?

1407
01:27:22,370 --> 01:27:23,830
Hey, my dear boys.

1408
01:27:24,160 --> 01:27:27,750
Bring in all our documents
they assume they have burnt.

1409
01:27:39,660 --> 01:27:40,950
Look at them coming in a line.

1410
01:27:41,040 --> 01:27:42,750
Like a millipede.

1411
01:27:43,080 --> 01:27:45,700
Come at a brisk pace
and put them down in one swift motion.

1412
01:27:45,790 --> 01:27:47,830
Look how they dropped it
stirring a cloud of dust.

1413
01:27:47,910 --> 01:27:49,290
What are you staring at?

1414
01:27:49,370 --> 01:27:51,080
These are our original documents.

1415
01:27:51,700 --> 01:27:53,290
You burnt the copies.

1416
01:27:53,410 --> 01:27:57,870
Our Naidu takes four copies
of every single document.

1417
01:27:58,330 --> 01:28:02,830
Be they documents, office letters,
personal letters, and…

1418
01:28:04,250 --> 01:28:06,160
He takes copies of love letters too.

1419
01:28:07,200 --> 01:28:09,000
All the documents are original, sir.

1420
01:28:10,410 --> 01:28:12,330
Scan the files thoroughly.

1421
01:28:12,700 --> 01:28:13,910
Our boys, sit down.

1422
01:28:14,700 --> 01:28:17,330
Let's see if the documents
burn or float today.

1423
01:28:17,540 --> 01:28:19,660
Sir, please, you are not
permitted to sit like this.

1424
01:28:19,750 --> 01:28:21,200
Then I'll change my position.

1425
01:28:22,290 --> 01:28:23,290
Mohan.

1426
01:28:23,450 --> 01:28:24,450
Let them be.

1427
01:28:25,410 --> 01:28:26,620
These documents.

1428
01:28:26,700 --> 01:28:28,450
Start checking them.

1429
01:28:28,540 --> 01:28:30,290
- Yes, sir.
- Call our entire staff.

1430
01:28:50,830 --> 01:28:51,870
What is this?

1431
01:28:53,000 --> 01:28:55,200
Why are you humiliating me like this?

1432
01:28:56,830 --> 01:29:00,540
Naidu's papers and accounts
are in perfect order.

1433
01:29:01,370 --> 01:29:04,580
Then how are our documents
showing such stark differences?

1434
01:29:06,620 --> 01:29:07,620
What?

1435
01:29:07,750 --> 01:29:09,370
What have you been up to?

1436
01:29:11,160 --> 01:29:13,250
Respected honest officer.

1437
01:29:14,870 --> 01:29:18,160
Will you fight among yourselves
or listen to what we have to say?

1438
01:29:19,370 --> 01:29:20,660
Not just UMS.

1439
01:29:20,950 --> 01:29:23,120
Our factories,
educational institutions,

1440
01:29:23,580 --> 01:29:25,000
all our records will be perfect.

1441
01:29:25,080 --> 01:29:27,330
Open it for inspection
for anyone at any time.

1442
01:29:28,370 --> 01:29:31,870
I chose not to pay the penalty
your government unjustly enforced on me.

1443
01:29:32,830 --> 01:29:36,160
Instead of learning how
to burn records using phosphorus,

1444
01:29:36,620 --> 01:29:40,450
you can learn why your government
is targeting me repeatedly, right?

1445
01:29:41,120 --> 01:29:42,290
Let me repeat your golden words.

1446
01:29:42,370 --> 01:29:44,000
People cannot be trusted.

1447
01:29:44,790 --> 01:29:46,450
Only papers speak the truth.

1448
01:29:47,830 --> 01:29:49,910
Our papers have revealed the truth to you.

1449
01:29:51,580 --> 01:29:53,250
Who will you suspect now?

1450
01:29:58,450 --> 01:29:59,450
I'll take leave.

1451
01:30:02,000 --> 01:30:06,040
Naidu ironed out the alleged creases of
his papers and crumpled Krishnan's policy.

1452
01:30:16,450 --> 01:30:18,080
G. D. NAIDU HONORED IN GERMANY

1453
01:30:18,160 --> 01:30:19,250
Sir?

1454
01:30:20,700 --> 01:30:23,120
- Did you read this news?
- Yes.

1455
01:30:23,790 --> 01:30:24,750
Sir.

1456
01:30:24,910 --> 01:30:27,040
We have applications
for new business ventures.

1457
01:30:27,120 --> 01:30:28,450
Your signature is required.

1458
01:30:28,620 --> 01:30:31,410
Hereafter, if someone
wants to start a business,

1459
01:30:31,500 --> 01:30:33,580
you should tell them
to meet me personally.

1460
01:30:34,290 --> 01:30:37,830
They'd start a business in the names
of their pets and bring me trouble!

1461
01:30:38,250 --> 01:30:39,700
Hey, sit down. Sit and eat.

1462
01:30:42,080 --> 01:30:44,540
Sir, Naidu is claiming
to be a true Gandhian

1463
01:30:44,620 --> 01:30:46,700
and is refusing to pay tax to the British.

1464
01:30:46,790 --> 01:30:49,910
But he has manufactured and sold
a mica capacitor for their Ham radio.

1465
01:30:50,000 --> 01:30:52,580
Is he for or against the British?
I don't understand.

1466
01:30:55,040 --> 01:30:56,290
Sir, I have an idea.

1467
01:30:56,540 --> 01:30:58,660
For selling mica capacitors
to Hitler and the Nazi regime,

1468
01:30:58,750 --> 01:31:01,660
we can file a complaint framing him
and convince the Governor General.

1469
01:31:01,750 --> 01:31:04,410
He will be labeled a national traitor
and jailed. End of story.

1470
01:31:04,500 --> 01:31:06,080
Why should we take the crooked route?

1471
01:31:06,160 --> 01:31:08,410
Because we've been unable
to touch him directly till now.

1472
01:31:08,500 --> 01:31:10,870
He keeps growing,
stacking up his inventions…

1473
01:31:10,950 --> 01:31:12,750
He keeps opening factories, sir!

1474
01:31:22,910 --> 01:31:24,330
EDUCATIONAL EXHIBITION

Ranga.

1477
01:31:57,660 --> 01:31:58,700
Ranganayaki.

1478
01:32:01,080 --> 01:32:02,080
Hey, Doctor.

1479
01:32:02,330 --> 01:32:04,200
What are you doing on my wife's lap?

1480
01:32:04,750 --> 01:32:06,910
Come here!
GD, you have to hear this.

1481
01:32:07,000 --> 01:32:08,160
No.

1482
01:32:08,450 --> 01:32:09,660
You have to see this.

1483
01:32:14,950 --> 01:32:17,000
DAIMLER-BENZ PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANY

1484
01:32:22,660 --> 01:32:23,620
My dear.

1485
01:32:23,700 --> 01:32:24,910
Congratulations.

1486
01:32:25,000 --> 01:32:26,330
To you too, madam.

1487
01:32:26,830 --> 01:32:28,790
I'm leaving for Germany tomorrow night.

1488
01:32:30,290 --> 01:32:32,540
Hey, I will be back
in just two months, right?

1489
01:32:35,830 --> 01:32:37,040
STUTTGART, GERMANY

1490
01:32:37,120 --> 01:32:40,950
The tender number SMH 0139

1491
01:32:41,250 --> 01:32:45,040
has been awarded
to Mr. G. Doraiswamy Naidu.

1492
01:32:45,370 --> 01:32:48,870
United Motor Service,
Coimbatore, India.

1493
01:32:50,160 --> 01:32:53,080
Bidding for the tender is closed
for the next two years.

1494
01:32:54,450 --> 01:32:56,790
- Thank you.
- Congratulations, Naidu.

1495
01:32:57,410 --> 01:33:00,080
You Madrasis are bagging all the tenders.

1496
01:33:00,950 --> 01:33:02,620
- Mister…
- Bhupendar.

1497
01:33:02,700 --> 01:33:03,950
Bhupendar.

1498
01:33:05,200 --> 01:33:07,330
Next time, bring a solid
airtight proposal.

1499
01:33:07,700 --> 01:33:09,500
I'll withdraw my bid for you.

1500
01:33:10,200 --> 01:33:12,950
Whichever fellow-citizen
gets this order, I'll be happy.

1501
01:33:13,200 --> 01:33:14,250
Shall I take leave?

1502
01:33:15,250 --> 01:33:16,700
We got it as planned.

1503
01:33:30,370 --> 01:33:31,580
Krishnan!

1504
01:33:35,160 --> 01:33:36,000
Look at this.

1505
01:33:37,830 --> 01:33:40,540
This Naidu fellow has dared
to send me an invitation

1506
01:33:40,620 --> 01:33:43,290
to the National Electric Works
Factory inauguration.

1507
01:33:44,410 --> 01:33:48,040
Now, he's in Germany on a business trip.

1508
01:33:48,790 --> 01:33:52,160
This tax defaulter Naidu
is expanding his business everywhere.

1509
01:33:52,790 --> 01:33:54,620
What are we doing here, Krishnan?

1510
01:33:55,620 --> 01:33:57,040
Sir, for the past ten years,

1511
01:33:57,120 --> 01:34:00,290
Mr. Naidu has been
on our income tax red-list.

1512
01:34:00,700 --> 01:34:03,250
So his manufacturing license
can be easily cancel--

1513
01:34:03,330 --> 01:34:05,120
Krishnan, you don't understand.

1514
01:34:06,330 --> 01:34:08,750
How many red-listers
can you take action against?

1515
01:34:09,450 --> 01:34:11,540
We need to write to the Lieutenant General

1516
01:34:11,620 --> 01:34:15,830
stating that Naidu is doing business
with Germany and the Nazis

1517
01:34:16,290 --> 01:34:18,250
against the interests of the Crown.

1518
01:34:22,330 --> 01:34:23,700
This is treason.

1519
01:34:23,790 --> 01:34:24,620
Sir.

1520
01:34:24,700 --> 01:34:28,290
Prepare the necessary documents
to put a hold on his bank accounts.

1521
01:34:28,370 --> 01:34:29,620
- Now!
- Sir.

1522
01:34:32,450 --> 01:34:33,500
Madam.

1523
01:34:33,580 --> 01:34:37,120
That businessman Bhupendra
and Adams are responsible for all this?

1524
01:34:37,450 --> 01:34:39,830
Did they go to such lengths
to hinder someone's progress?

1525
01:34:39,910 --> 01:34:40,950
Yes, sir.

1526
01:34:41,120 --> 01:34:44,700
They branded him a national traitor
and froze all his bank accounts.

1527
01:34:45,080 --> 01:34:47,120
So all his factories had to be shut down.

1528
01:34:47,540 --> 01:34:51,450
<i>World War began in Germany</i>
<i>before Naidu could return to India.</i>

1529
01:34:51,870 --> 01:34:53,080
<i>He was stuck over there.</i>

1530
01:34:53,580 --> 01:34:56,750
<i>In India, Ranganayaki was distraught,</i>

1531
01:34:56,830 --> 01:34:59,120
<i>unable to answer</i>
<i>the families who trusted her.</i>

1532
01:35:02,950 --> 01:35:07,250
<i>The Second World War intensified</i>
<i>in Germany, so he was unable to leave.</i>

1533
01:35:07,370 --> 01:35:11,580
<i>He was penniless and fainted on the road</i>
<i>due to starvation.</i>

1534
01:35:15,500 --> 01:35:16,450
<i>Thanks to his good fortune.</i>

1535
01:35:16,540 --> 01:35:21,040
<i>At that crucial moment,</i>
<i>Gottlieb Stoll and his wife, Berta Stoll</i>

1536
01:35:21,330 --> 01:35:23,330
<i>rescued Naidu from the jaws of death</i>

1537
01:35:23,410 --> 01:35:26,410
<i>and extended all the help possible</i>
<i>to send him back to India.</i>

1538
01:35:27,540 --> 01:35:31,410
Sir, I don't even know
when this World War began.

1539
01:35:32,410 --> 01:35:34,620
When I saw the Industrial Revolution
initiated by Hitler,

1540
01:35:34,700 --> 01:35:37,410
I thought he was developing
Germany to greater heights.

1541
01:35:37,870 --> 01:35:41,700
But I never imagined he would turn
into a bloodthirsty beast like this.

1542
01:35:43,790 --> 01:35:44,790
Mr. Stoll.

1543
01:35:45,450 --> 01:35:47,290
Do me one last favor, please.

1544
01:35:48,580 --> 01:35:49,950
My wife is pregnant.

1545
01:35:50,950 --> 01:35:52,950
I have to get back to India immediately.

1546
01:35:53,500 --> 01:35:55,330
If you can somehow arrange my return…

1547
01:35:57,330 --> 01:35:59,910
<i>Because of the war, there were</i>
<i>no passenger ships to India.</i>

1548
01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:02,080
<i>So he had to travel to Italy from Germany,</i>

1549
01:36:02,160 --> 01:36:05,080
<i>then to America,</i>
<i>and from there to Japan.</i>

1550
01:36:05,160 --> 01:36:08,910
<i>And from Japan to India via Rangoon.</i>
<i>It took him more than a year to return.</i>

1551
01:36:11,160 --> 01:36:13,580
The whole town is sure
that he will not return.

1552
01:36:13,660 --> 01:36:16,290
Turn your heart to stone
and accept the reality, dear.

1553
01:36:16,620 --> 01:36:20,200
You haven't even named your baby.
You are sitting here totally depressed.

1554
01:36:20,660 --> 01:36:23,830
I just can't bear to see you
in such a distressed state.

1555
01:36:24,000 --> 01:36:26,200
Will you please be quiet and go inside?

1556
01:36:36,450 --> 01:36:37,370
Hello?

1557
01:36:38,040 --> 01:36:38,950
<i>R-Ranga.</i>

1558
01:36:44,660 --> 01:36:45,790
How are you, dear?

1559
01:36:46,580 --> 01:36:48,000
How is everyone at home?

1560
01:36:56,910 --> 01:36:58,910
Your son and I…

1561
01:36:59,500 --> 01:37:00,500
We are fine.

1562
01:37:04,080 --> 01:37:05,080
Son?

1563
01:37:08,830 --> 01:37:10,040
What have you named him?

1564
01:37:10,250 --> 01:37:11,200
Who is it?

1565
01:37:11,290 --> 01:37:12,500
My dear. Come here.

1566
01:37:12,580 --> 01:37:16,290
Without you returning,
how will I name him?

1567
01:37:18,410 --> 01:37:19,410
Alright.

1568
01:37:22,580 --> 01:37:23,950
Tell baby Gopal

1569
01:37:24,410 --> 01:37:27,250
that his father will be there soon
to play with him, dear.

1570
01:37:51,660 --> 01:37:53,790
<i>As soon as Naidu returned from Germany,</i>

1571
01:37:53,950 --> 01:37:58,370
<i>he started working at full throttle</i>
<i>to set up the Benz car factory.</i>

1572
01:37:58,790 --> 01:38:03,040
<i>He bought acres of land in Eachanari</i>
<i>and started work there too.</i>

1573
01:38:03,580 --> 01:38:07,330
<i>He was filled with excitement</i>
<i>that his lifelong dream was coming true.</i>

1574
01:38:07,580 --> 01:38:09,500
People were eagerly looking forward

1575
01:38:09,580 --> 01:38:13,950
to the Benz factory in the Kongu belt
as a hallmark of Tamil Nadu.

1576
01:38:17,620 --> 01:38:20,370
I was at peace thinking
that Naidu was dead and gone.

1577
01:38:20,700 --> 01:38:24,250
Now he has bought land
to set up a car factory.

1578
01:38:24,870 --> 01:38:26,660
He has imported raw materials.

1579
01:38:28,000 --> 01:38:29,000
Adams.

1580
01:38:30,290 --> 01:38:31,870
I gave you everything you asked.

1581
01:38:32,330 --> 01:38:34,620
Could you put an end
to Naidu's winning streak?

1582
01:38:35,000 --> 01:38:36,870
I listened to your bloody advice

1583
01:38:37,620 --> 01:38:39,910
and lodged a treason case against him.

1584
01:38:41,120 --> 01:38:43,540
He filed a complaint against me
with the Governor

1585
01:38:44,160 --> 01:38:46,200
and I had to face a lengthy reprimand.

1586
01:38:46,950 --> 01:38:47,870
Listen.

1587
01:38:48,370 --> 01:38:50,950
Mountbatten is here early
to take us back home.

1588
01:38:53,580 --> 01:38:54,790
And it's official.

1589
01:38:55,450 --> 01:38:57,200
India is getting its independence.

1590
01:38:59,750 --> 01:39:01,000
Naidu will rejoice

1591
01:39:01,540 --> 01:39:05,620
imagining that all his troubles
will be over once the British depart.

1592
01:39:07,250 --> 01:39:08,950
He shall be informed, however,

1593
01:39:09,450 --> 01:39:11,660
that he must continue
to bear the penalties

1594
01:39:11,750 --> 01:39:14,080
that have been levied against him
by the British

1595
01:39:15,000 --> 01:39:17,330
even after India attains her independence.

1596
01:39:18,870 --> 01:39:20,290
He will remain pig-headed.

1597
01:39:20,950 --> 01:39:25,250
Arguing that these are unjust penalties
foisted upon him by the British.

1598
01:39:26,910 --> 01:39:28,660
He would demand a justification

1599
01:39:29,250 --> 01:39:31,000
and refuse to pay the penalties

1600
01:39:31,830 --> 01:39:34,200
until he receives a special dispensation.

1601
01:39:36,790 --> 01:39:41,080
This very obstinacy, you see,
will be his undoing.

1602
01:39:44,910 --> 01:39:49,250
I think… I've got the right man
for the job.

1603
01:40:03,660 --> 01:40:05,540
What did you say that man's name was?

1604
01:40:06,620 --> 01:40:07,700
G. D. Naidu.

1605
01:40:08,370 --> 01:40:10,580
If the money reaches the right hands,

1606
01:40:10,790 --> 01:40:12,620
your wish will be fulfilled.

1607
01:40:30,910 --> 01:40:34,250
<i>On the occasion</i>
<i>of India's seventh Independence Day,</i>

1608
01:40:34,330 --> 01:40:39,410
<i>business prodigy G. D. Naidu has organized</i>
<i>a grand agricultural exhibition.</i>

1609
01:40:39,500 --> 01:40:41,290
<i>I welcome all of you</i>
<i>to enjoy this experience.</i>

1610
01:40:41,370 --> 01:40:42,450
What is this, Naidu?

1611
01:40:42,540 --> 01:40:44,830
Started experimenting
with agriculture also?

1612
01:40:44,910 --> 01:40:45,950
Yes, Mr. Raman.

1613
01:40:46,450 --> 01:40:49,410
You studied physics.
So you experiment with physics.

1614
01:40:49,500 --> 01:40:51,160
I didn't even pass Grade Three.

1615
01:40:51,250 --> 01:40:52,790
So I can experiment with anything, right?

1616
01:40:52,870 --> 01:40:54,160
I agree to that, Naidu.

1617
01:40:54,250 --> 01:40:56,580
You are a man in a million.
You can do it.

1618
01:40:56,660 --> 01:40:58,330
Thank you very much, sir.

1619
01:40:58,410 --> 01:40:59,700
See that water tank over there?

1620
01:40:59,790 --> 01:41:02,200
- The land behind it--
- Sir, can I take a photo?

1621
01:41:02,290 --> 01:41:03,120
Yes.

1622
01:41:11,370 --> 01:41:12,500
Get back.

1623
01:41:12,700 --> 01:41:13,750
Stand back!

1624
01:41:14,200 --> 01:41:15,160
Shut this.

1625
01:41:16,950 --> 01:41:18,160
Thank you.

1626
01:41:18,250 --> 01:41:19,200
Mr. Raman.

1627
01:41:19,290 --> 01:41:20,330
He is Kurt Stoll.

1628
01:41:20,620 --> 01:41:23,870
My husband is alive today
thanks to his parents.

1629
01:41:24,040 --> 01:41:24,950
True, sir.

1630
01:41:25,410 --> 01:41:27,250
I am forever indebted to his family.

1631
01:41:27,500 --> 01:41:29,580
You could call it
a rough patch in my life.

1632
01:41:30,290 --> 01:41:32,250
You won't be facing any more hardships.

1633
01:41:32,450 --> 01:41:34,120
The British have left, right?

1634
01:41:34,290 --> 01:41:35,540
In Independent India,

1635
01:41:35,620 --> 01:41:38,080
you will achieve your dreams
and live life like a king.

1636
01:41:38,160 --> 01:41:39,200
Thank you, sir.

1637
01:41:43,080 --> 01:41:45,080
Roll down the shutter.
I'm telling you to move back.

1638
01:41:45,160 --> 01:41:46,540
Everyone, step back.

1639
01:41:46,620 --> 01:41:47,910
Go back, all of you!

1640
01:41:50,370 --> 01:41:51,700
Sir, I need to talk to you.

1641
01:41:52,120 --> 01:41:53,160
I'll be right back.

1642
01:41:53,410 --> 01:41:54,870
- Come.
- What is it, Pillai?

1643
01:41:56,660 --> 01:41:59,500
They have sent a notice
to seal four of our factories.

1644
01:41:59,580 --> 01:42:00,540
Wretched fellows!

1645
01:42:00,620 --> 01:42:02,000
- What?
- Yes.

1646
01:42:02,080 --> 01:42:03,120
Not only that.

1647
01:42:03,370 --> 01:42:06,660
The no-objection certificate
we require to collaborate with Benz…

1648
01:42:06,830 --> 01:42:08,870
The IT Department has refused to give it.

1649
01:42:10,950 --> 01:42:12,000
What is this, Pillai?

1650
01:42:18,410 --> 01:42:20,200
I thought we were in for good times.

1651
01:42:23,080 --> 01:42:26,200
Can't we talk
to the government regarding this?

1652
01:42:26,580 --> 01:42:27,750
To this government?

1653
01:42:29,330 --> 01:42:33,290
I begged them for an Inquiry Commission
to prove

1654
01:42:33,370 --> 01:42:35,370
the tax penalties levied on me are fake.

1655
01:42:35,910 --> 01:42:37,250
But I got no response.

1656
01:42:38,580 --> 01:42:40,660
Now they have forcibly
shut down my factories

1657
01:42:40,750 --> 01:42:41,830
and sealed them.

1658
01:42:42,330 --> 01:42:44,160
What is the point of talking to them?

1659
01:43:02,870 --> 01:43:03,950
Hello?

1660
01:43:04,500 --> 01:43:05,870
- Hello, Mr. Naidu.
- Hello.

1661
01:43:05,950 --> 01:43:07,910
Hello, Mr. Rudolph. How are you?

1662
01:43:10,750 --> 01:43:15,200
<i>The letter you sent explaining</i>
<i>your situation reached us very late, sir.</i>

1663
01:43:16,000 --> 01:43:16,950
<i>We are very sorry.</i>

1664
01:43:19,250 --> 01:43:20,370
Thank you for your--

1665
01:43:20,450 --> 01:43:22,540
Thank you for your concern, Mr. Rudolph.

1666
01:43:23,080 --> 01:43:24,080
Thank you very much.

1667
01:43:25,250 --> 01:43:26,620
- Mr. Naidu.
- Yes?

1668
01:43:27,620 --> 01:43:32,040
<i>Mr. Rudolph expresses his regret</i>
<i>for failing to collaborate with you.</i>

1669
01:43:32,660 --> 01:43:35,120
<i>He is asking this out</i>
<i>of utmost regard for you.</i>

1670
01:43:35,540 --> 01:43:37,870
<i>Now that we are unable</i>
<i>to collaborate with you,</i>

1671
01:43:38,040 --> 01:43:41,750
<i>he's asking which Indian company</i>
<i>you can recommend for this.</i>

1672
01:43:43,790 --> 01:43:46,500
Thank you for the respect
you have for me, Mr. Rudolph.

1673
01:43:47,540 --> 01:43:48,660
Very kind of you.

1674
01:43:51,000 --> 01:43:52,330
According to me,

1675
01:43:53,410 --> 01:43:56,790
the right name to collaborate
with your company…

1676
01:43:58,330 --> 01:44:00,620
Tata Moto--
It's Tata Motors company.

1677
01:44:01,040 --> 01:44:02,080
Tata Motors.

1678
01:44:03,290 --> 01:44:04,950
Thank you very mu--
I wish you all the--

1679
01:44:05,040 --> 01:44:06,750
I wish you all the very best!

1680
01:44:09,000 --> 01:44:09,830
<i>Thank you.</i>

1681
01:44:25,080 --> 01:44:28,500
You know what a big deal it is
to manufacture Benz cars in Coimbatore?

1682
01:44:35,660 --> 01:44:39,700
…has been awarded
to Mr. G. Doraiswamy Naidu.

1683
01:44:40,040 --> 01:44:42,000
DAIMLER-BENZ PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANY

1684
01:45:22,200 --> 01:45:23,830
Where is this Ambalapara Krishnan?

1685
01:45:23,910 --> 01:45:24,950
Hey, Krishnan!

1686
01:45:25,370 --> 01:45:28,000
True to your word, you've robbed
our Naidu of his sleep.

1687
01:45:28,080 --> 01:45:29,040
Look here.

1688
01:45:29,120 --> 01:45:33,160
Sealing his factory or sneakily
withdrawing the Benz company order

1689
01:45:33,250 --> 01:45:34,830
is not why he lost his precious sleep!

1690
01:45:34,910 --> 01:45:37,290
Thousands of workers lost their jobs.

1691
01:45:37,370 --> 01:45:39,540
You hit them
where it hurt the most, you see.

1692
01:45:39,620 --> 01:45:41,330
That is why he lost his sleep!

1693
01:45:41,410 --> 01:45:45,040
As per the papers, your Naidu
has not paid tax for many years.

1694
01:45:45,120 --> 01:45:46,700
The day he pays up,

1695
01:45:46,790 --> 01:45:49,700
I will decide how to treat your Naidu!

1696
01:45:49,790 --> 01:45:51,950
Why do you keep harping "papers"
all the time?

1697
01:45:52,040 --> 01:45:55,330
The British wipe their butt
with that same paper!

1698
01:45:55,750 --> 01:45:57,700
I want to know.
Aren't you human too?

1699
01:45:57,830 --> 01:46:00,330
Thousands of people
lost their jobs because of you.

1700
01:46:00,410 --> 01:46:01,950
Won't your conscience nag you?

1701
01:46:02,040 --> 01:46:03,250
Won't it prick you?

1702
01:46:03,330 --> 01:46:04,450
I'll wait and watch.

1703
01:46:04,540 --> 01:46:06,160
Let me see how you sleep soundly.

1704
01:46:21,040 --> 01:46:22,790
Sir, don't worry.

1705
01:46:23,040 --> 01:46:25,000
All this time, you were with us.

1706
01:46:25,160 --> 01:46:27,700
No matter what you decide,
we will support you.

1707
01:46:27,790 --> 01:46:28,790
Yes, sir.

1708
01:46:28,870 --> 01:46:30,450
We are with you, sir.

1709
01:46:30,620 --> 01:46:32,160
Greetings to everyone.

1710
01:46:33,410 --> 01:46:35,120
We have done nothing wrong.

1711
01:46:36,540 --> 01:46:39,370
Those who are jealous of us
are trying to topple us down.

1712
01:46:40,000 --> 01:46:41,830
But if they close one door,

1713
01:46:42,410 --> 01:46:44,330
we will open a hundred more doors.

1714
01:46:45,120 --> 01:46:48,580
Those who go in search of opportunities
will feel bad if they don't succeed.

1715
01:46:48,660 --> 01:46:50,580
But to those who create opportunities,

1716
01:46:51,040 --> 01:46:53,000
the word "regret" never exists!

1717
01:46:53,790 --> 01:46:55,870
All of us belong to one family.

1718
01:46:56,660 --> 01:46:58,700
If our family faces a problem,

1719
01:46:58,950 --> 01:47:00,500
will we give in and back down?

1720
01:47:01,000 --> 01:47:04,000
None of you need to worry about anything.

1721
01:47:04,410 --> 01:47:07,080
Until our factories are opened again,

1722
01:47:07,330 --> 01:47:10,080
all of you will be paid your due salary!

1723
01:47:11,750 --> 01:47:13,000
You will have jobs too.

1724
01:47:14,790 --> 01:47:17,250
For the steel factory
to be set up in Podanur

1725
01:47:17,750 --> 01:47:20,950
and the car factory in Eachanari,
our boss has bought land, right?

1726
01:47:21,040 --> 01:47:24,580
We will turn those lands
into agricultural lands.

1727
01:47:25,080 --> 01:47:27,160
We will get knee-deep into farming.

1728
01:47:27,830 --> 01:47:31,500
We will create our own job opportunities.

1729
01:47:31,660 --> 01:47:32,790
- Mr. G. D. Naidu!
- Our pillar of strength!

1730
01:47:32,870 --> 01:47:34,040
- Mr. G. D. Naidu!
- Long live!

1731
01:47:34,120 --> 01:47:35,160
Mr. G. D. Naidu!

1732
01:47:35,250 --> 01:47:36,500
- Mr. G. D. Naidu!
- Our inspiration!

1733
01:47:36,580 --> 01:47:37,620
Mr. G. D. Naidu!

1734
01:47:37,700 --> 01:47:39,250
- Mr. G. D. Naidu!
- Our beacon of light!

1735
01:47:39,330 --> 01:47:41,040
- Mr. G. D. Naidu!
- Long live!

1736
01:47:44,830 --> 01:47:46,040
How unfair, sir!

1737
01:47:47,620 --> 01:47:49,080
In India, for the first time
in Coimbatore,

1738
01:47:49,160 --> 01:47:51,410
Mercedes-Benz factory
should have been set up.

1739
01:47:52,450 --> 01:47:54,040
We lost that golden legacy, sir.

1740
01:47:55,080 --> 01:47:57,250
We missed a glorious chapter in history.

1741
01:47:58,120 --> 01:47:59,870
It would have created a revolution.

1742
01:48:03,120 --> 01:48:06,120
Our own people crushed
Naidu's dream, sir.

1743
01:48:07,580 --> 01:48:08,700
Why feel bad, madam?

1744
01:48:08,830 --> 01:48:11,450
If one business is closed,
he launches a new venture.

1745
01:48:11,790 --> 01:48:13,540
As soon as the Benz contract
slipped from his hand,

1746
01:48:13,620 --> 01:48:15,750
he turned the very same land
into a productive farmland.

1747
01:48:15,830 --> 01:48:17,620
Even the British couldn't do anything.

1748
01:48:17,700 --> 01:48:19,330
How can our politicians stop him?

1749
01:48:19,700 --> 01:48:20,700
But they did.

1750
01:48:22,620 --> 01:48:26,410
After plotting for eight years, they
finally unleashed their ultimate weapon.

1751
01:48:29,200 --> 01:48:32,040
EIGHT YEARS LATER

1752
01:48:33,700 --> 01:48:37,250
All I wanted was to secure
that automobile contract for myself.

1753
01:48:38,000 --> 01:48:40,410
But Naidu gave it on a platter
to someone else.

1754
01:48:41,410 --> 01:48:44,830
The amount of hardship I am
going through because of him…

1755
01:48:46,540 --> 01:48:49,450
He must suffer a thousandfold or more

1756
01:48:51,160 --> 01:48:52,790
and end up on the streets.

1757
01:48:53,790 --> 01:48:55,370
To complete this task,

1758
01:48:55,450 --> 01:48:57,950
Krishnan has been promoted
to a dummy officer.

1759
01:48:58,160 --> 01:49:00,370
I have given you power
that goes with your position.

1760
01:49:00,450 --> 01:49:02,500
I have given the money you wanted too.

1761
01:49:04,910 --> 01:49:05,950
Killi.

1762
01:49:06,450 --> 01:49:08,700
- How many children do you have?
- Three, sir.

1763
01:49:09,580 --> 01:49:11,700
Make sure they do not end up as orphans!

1764
01:49:16,950 --> 01:49:17,910
Sir?

1765
01:49:18,580 --> 01:49:20,000
You have entrusted it to me.

1766
01:49:20,450 --> 01:49:21,870
I will not break your trust.

1767
01:49:24,250 --> 01:49:26,910
Sir. They plan to confiscate
80 percent of his assets?

1768
01:49:27,040 --> 01:49:28,080
Yes.

1769
01:49:29,290 --> 01:49:31,250
Even if they charge
atrocious amounts of interest,

1770
01:49:31,330 --> 01:49:33,750
even if his penalty is genuine,

1771
01:49:35,000 --> 01:49:38,870
we can legally seize
only 13 percent of his assets.

1772
01:49:40,410 --> 01:49:42,290
Sir, how is this fair by any standard?

1773
01:49:43,660 --> 01:49:44,660
Mohan.

1774
01:49:45,120 --> 01:49:47,540
The system I respected
with all my heart…

1775
01:49:48,040 --> 01:49:51,200
The papers I signed with due respect…

1776
01:49:52,330 --> 01:49:54,370
They have tarnished everything totally.

1777
01:49:55,500 --> 01:49:57,700
<i>Tampering with the account documents,</i>

1778
01:49:59,080 --> 01:50:02,330
<i>fabricating a link between</i>
<i>Naidu and the Nazis,</i>

1779
01:50:02,410 --> 01:50:05,200
<i>foisting a false case without</i>
<i>a shred of shame or regret,</i>

1780
01:50:05,500 --> 01:50:08,200
<i>burning all his legal documents</i>
<i>using phosphorus…</i>

1781
01:50:10,040 --> 01:50:13,540
<i>They needed a Perunkilli</i>
<i>to do all their dirty work!</i>

1782
01:50:15,080 --> 01:50:17,620
Sir, because of the atrocities
within our department,

1783
01:50:17,700 --> 01:50:21,290
I don't feel it is right for someone
like Naidu to bear the brunt of it.

1784
01:50:22,580 --> 01:50:24,160
We should take some action, sir.

1785
01:50:26,200 --> 01:50:27,290
Whatever is on paper,

1786
01:50:27,660 --> 01:50:29,870
I am used to executing only those orders.

1787
01:50:30,540 --> 01:50:32,330
My life has become like that.

1788
01:50:33,410 --> 01:50:35,330
Whatever you think is prim and proper,

1789
01:50:35,500 --> 01:50:36,660
please carry it out.

1790
01:50:38,410 --> 01:50:39,500
Sir?

1791
01:50:40,290 --> 01:50:41,410
Mohan.

1792
01:50:41,750 --> 01:50:44,000
Whatever you think is correct…

1793
01:50:44,080 --> 01:50:45,950
Execute it exactly like that.

1794
01:51:46,200 --> 01:51:48,290
They have decided
to destroy me completely.

1795
01:51:49,660 --> 01:51:51,500
First, they snatched
my dream from me.

1796
01:51:52,700 --> 01:51:54,620
Now they are targeting my assets.

1797
01:52:13,450 --> 01:52:14,450
Sir?

1798
01:52:14,540 --> 01:52:18,040
What are you doing, sir? Why are
you planting a bomb in our own office?

1799
01:52:19,330 --> 01:52:21,450
They are coming
to seize the building, right?

1800
01:52:21,540 --> 01:52:23,330
Then they need a building to do so.

1801
01:52:23,580 --> 01:52:24,750
- Sundaram?
- Sir.

1802
01:52:24,830 --> 01:52:26,290
Don't even ask me permission.

1803
01:52:26,660 --> 01:52:29,500
If they come to confiscate my property,
ask our people to evacuate.

1804
01:52:29,580 --> 01:52:31,410
Then press this, understood?

1805
01:52:31,540 --> 01:52:33,250
- Sir?
- Please.

1806
01:52:34,370 --> 01:52:36,000
Don't ask me questions, Sundaram.

1807
01:52:36,080 --> 01:52:37,200
Just do as I say.

1808
01:52:42,160 --> 01:52:44,580
- This is for you.
- Everyone, help yourself.

1809
01:52:44,700 --> 01:52:46,580
Please take it!

1810
01:52:46,660 --> 01:52:48,200
Take it.

1811
01:52:48,330 --> 01:52:51,080
Take this for your daughter's wedding.

1812
01:52:51,160 --> 01:52:52,870
Everyone, help yourself.

1813
01:52:54,250 --> 01:52:55,410
Enjoy, be happy.

1814
01:52:56,200 --> 01:52:59,160
Your daughter is getting married.
Spend this for her.

1815
01:52:59,330 --> 01:53:02,750
Invest this in your daughter's name.
Keep this for your son's education.

1816
01:53:02,830 --> 01:53:04,040
Keep this.

1817
01:53:04,160 --> 01:53:06,620
Sir, why are you giving away
all your title deeds?

1818
01:53:06,910 --> 01:53:08,620
Are you from
the Income Tax department?

1819
01:53:08,700 --> 01:53:09,700
I have paid my tax.

1820
01:53:09,790 --> 01:53:10,830
- Go…
- Sir.

1821
01:53:15,080 --> 01:53:16,790
<i>The revered father of our city.</i>

1822
01:53:16,870 --> 01:53:21,950
<i>Mr. G. D. Naidu plans to smash</i>
<i>and break all his inventions.</i>

1823
01:53:23,250 --> 01:53:25,160
<i>Assemble to witness</i>
<i>this rare event.</i>

1824
01:53:25,250 --> 01:53:26,870
<i>Welcome one and all.</i>

1825
01:53:26,950 --> 01:53:28,000
<i>Entry is free.</i>

1826
01:53:28,080 --> 01:53:29,250
<i>All are welcome.</i>

1827
01:53:52,540 --> 01:53:54,410
Stop… Enough!

1828
01:53:56,450 --> 01:53:57,870
Hope you are all doing good?

1829
01:53:58,540 --> 01:54:00,450
You know how happy I am
to see all of you here?

1830
01:54:00,540 --> 01:54:03,620
The same pictures on your shirt
are on my sari too.

1831
01:54:03,790 --> 01:54:05,700
Hero, heroine, celebrities…

1832
01:54:06,000 --> 01:54:08,830
Cinema news, local gossip,
juicy rumors, everything…

1833
01:54:09,870 --> 01:54:11,000
Looks beautiful, no?

1834
01:54:11,910 --> 01:54:13,450
But when I went to Japan,

1835
01:54:13,540 --> 01:54:18,870
naive, ill-informed students had Physics
and Chemistry formulas on their shirts.

1836
01:54:19,000 --> 01:54:21,160
Periodic table, mechanical drawing,

1837
01:54:21,250 --> 01:54:23,000
the world map too.
Height of aesthetic sense!

1838
01:54:23,080 --> 01:54:24,370
Those Japanese students.

1839
01:54:24,450 --> 01:54:25,540
Look at all of you.

1840
01:54:25,750 --> 01:54:27,540
Actors and dancers on your t-shirts!

1841
01:54:28,540 --> 01:54:30,250
Buzzing with vibrant vibes.

1842
01:54:30,500 --> 01:54:32,580
You are the next generation
of our nation.

1843
01:54:32,750 --> 01:54:34,370
Makes me feel so proud!

1844
01:54:37,540 --> 01:54:40,750
I stupidly thought this would be
a useful item for you and I brought it.

1845
01:54:40,830 --> 01:54:42,080
Shall I break that first?

1846
01:54:42,200 --> 01:54:43,870
Huh? Come… come along.

1847
01:54:54,000 --> 01:54:55,250
Play now!

1848
01:56:01,040 --> 01:56:02,250
Stop the music!

1849
01:56:02,660 --> 01:56:03,790
Dorai!

1850
01:56:04,790 --> 01:56:05,870
Stop it!

1851
01:56:07,290 --> 01:56:09,540
Listen to me! Dorai!

1852
01:56:10,750 --> 01:56:11,870
Stop it, Dorai!

1853
01:56:50,250 --> 01:56:51,080
Mom.

1854
01:56:58,660 --> 01:56:59,540
Mom.

1855
01:56:59,950 --> 01:57:01,870
He has given away everything he owned.

1856
01:57:04,200 --> 01:57:07,040
He has given away the buses
to drivers and conductors.

1857
01:57:08,370 --> 01:57:11,080
He has given all the title deeds
to passers-by, Mom.

1858
01:57:13,580 --> 01:57:16,370
People are saying
that he has lost his mind.

1859
01:57:17,500 --> 01:57:18,660
I feel terrible.

1860
01:57:35,250 --> 01:57:38,580
You know that my dream is to build
a 5-star hotel in Madras.

1861
01:57:39,660 --> 01:57:41,700
I went to Delhi and met
the concerned architect.

1862
01:57:41,790 --> 01:57:44,620
I have even got the license
to import the fixtures for the hotel.

1863
01:57:44,700 --> 01:57:48,200
But you gave away the land to others
without even telling me.

1864
01:57:50,830 --> 01:57:55,450
Your father gave his word to Periyar that
he'd give that land to Adithanar, Gopal.

1865
01:57:55,540 --> 01:57:56,830
What about his word to me?

1866
01:57:56,910 --> 01:57:58,450
Mr. Gopal, forgive me.

1867
01:57:59,290 --> 01:58:01,120
I didn't know it was your land!

1868
01:58:04,200 --> 01:58:05,120
Hey!

1869
01:58:05,750 --> 01:58:08,040
You have no right
to ask me such questions.

1870
01:58:11,200 --> 01:58:15,290
That land was bought by my hard work
and my earnings.

1871
01:58:15,700 --> 01:58:18,330
I will give it whenever
and to whomever I please.

1872
01:58:18,450 --> 01:58:19,660
Understand?

1873
01:58:23,250 --> 01:58:24,200
True.

1874
01:58:24,290 --> 01:58:25,910
He did everything.

1875
01:58:26,290 --> 01:58:27,620
We did not help in any way.

1876
01:58:29,290 --> 01:58:32,250
As far as you are concerned,
this world revolves around you.

1877
01:58:32,580 --> 01:58:38,000
Do you know how selfish it is to expect
everyone to follow your whims and wishes?

1878
01:58:38,450 --> 01:58:42,580
Didn't we put up with all the mad deeds
you carried out in front of everyone?

1879
01:58:43,870 --> 01:58:44,870
Why, may I ask?

1880
01:58:45,000 --> 01:58:48,330
Can't your near and dear ones
have their own dreams or aims in life?

1881
01:58:49,120 --> 01:58:52,200
Our son curses himself daily
for being born in a family like this.

1882
01:58:52,290 --> 01:58:53,410
You behave so badly.

1883
01:58:53,870 --> 01:58:55,620
- Mom…
- Hey! Shut up.

1884
01:59:00,370 --> 01:59:02,700
Gopal has the right to dream too.

1885
01:59:04,500 --> 01:59:05,750
Knowing your true nature,

1886
01:59:05,830 --> 01:59:09,080
your first wife, Chellamma, left you
thanking God for her freedom.

1887
01:59:10,120 --> 01:59:12,120
Harsh reality is dawning on me only now.

1888
01:59:18,160 --> 01:59:21,370
I do not wish to live with you any longer.

1889
01:59:25,080 --> 01:59:26,410
I want a divorce.

1890
01:59:34,200 --> 01:59:37,870
If you are able to, make the necessary
arrangements for my divorce.

1891
01:59:40,660 --> 01:59:42,160
Otherwise I can handle it.

1892
02:00:22,580 --> 02:00:24,660
"For more than 30 years,

1893
02:00:24,750 --> 02:00:29,870
Mr. G. Doraiswamy Naidu has not remitted
the tax payable to the Government."

1894
02:00:30,120 --> 02:00:34,000
"The outstanding tax amount, along
with the applicable interest and penalties

1895
02:00:34,080 --> 02:00:38,200
should be paid within 60 days
from the date of this notice."

1896
02:00:38,500 --> 02:00:41,290
"Non-compliance
within the stipulated period

1897
02:00:41,370 --> 02:00:44,250
will lead to the confiscation
of 80 percent of his assets

1898
02:00:44,330 --> 02:00:49,500
on the 90th day from the date
of this notice--"

1899
02:00:49,580 --> 02:00:51,410
- Sir?
- Mohan.

1900
02:00:51,830 --> 02:00:53,040
Continue to type.

1901
02:00:53,290 --> 02:00:54,910
This is an order from the higher ups.

1902
02:00:55,000 --> 02:00:57,750
Type fast, Mohan.
I need to get home soon.

1903
02:00:58,540 --> 02:01:02,620
"Action will be taken
to confiscate 80 percent of his assets."

1904
02:01:02,830 --> 02:01:06,450
"We hereby give you a final warning
through this notice."

1905
02:01:07,410 --> 02:01:08,620
Type his name.

1906
02:01:08,910 --> 02:01:10,200
Don't forget the seal.

1907
02:01:10,540 --> 02:01:12,160
Sir, sign the order.

1908
02:01:31,870 --> 02:01:35,830
To compensate for all your unpaid taxes
and penalties,

1909
02:01:35,910 --> 02:01:38,450
the government will confiscate
80 percent of all your assets.

1910
02:01:38,540 --> 02:01:39,830
Here's the official order.

1911
02:01:40,080 --> 02:01:42,250
Hand over all your title deeds
and documents, sir.

1912
02:01:42,330 --> 02:01:44,200
52 documents in total.

1913
02:01:44,950 --> 02:01:45,950
Pillai.

1914
02:01:46,790 --> 02:01:48,450
Give them what they want.

1915
02:01:49,160 --> 02:01:50,040
Okay.

1916
02:01:50,830 --> 02:01:52,080
Wait, I'll be back.

1917
02:02:08,040 --> 02:02:10,450
Only two documents are here.
What about the rest?

1918
02:02:11,160 --> 02:02:15,540
As the years sped by,
Mrs. Naidu got mad at his mad doings

1919
02:02:16,540 --> 02:02:17,910
and filed for divorce.

1920
02:02:21,410 --> 02:02:23,410
Your wife has filed a petition
for divorce.

1921
02:02:23,500 --> 02:02:24,830
Do you accept it?

1922
02:02:26,040 --> 02:02:27,950
- I do.
- Your wife

1923
02:02:28,200 --> 02:02:31,410
has asked for 98 percent
of your assets as alimony.

1924
02:02:31,830 --> 02:02:33,250
Are you willing to give it?

1925
02:02:34,950 --> 02:02:36,040
I agree.

1926
02:02:36,790 --> 02:02:39,160
Doesn't matter if she filed for a divorce.

1927
02:02:39,370 --> 02:02:44,200
She claimed an alimony amounting
to 98 percent of Naidu's assets.

1928
02:02:55,830 --> 02:02:59,370
You are answering clearly after
understanding everything I asked, right?

1929
02:03:00,870 --> 02:03:01,750
Yes.

1930
02:03:02,700 --> 02:03:04,950
Divorce granted.

1931
02:03:05,330 --> 02:03:06,870
Alimony settled.

1932
02:03:07,660 --> 02:03:08,950
Case closed.

1933
02:03:13,200 --> 02:03:14,950
We had no other place to live, sir.

1934
02:03:15,500 --> 02:03:17,910
This forest land of 30 acres
was all we had left.

1935
02:03:18,250 --> 02:03:19,580
And this thatched hut.

1936
02:03:20,160 --> 02:03:23,120
You have come to seize 80 percent of this.

1937
02:03:24,120 --> 02:03:25,790
Take the wood land around us.

1938
02:03:26,040 --> 02:03:27,660
If you leave the hut for us to survive,

1939
02:03:27,750 --> 02:03:31,540
it will be useful for both of us to relax
stretching our feet in our old age.

1940
02:03:34,580 --> 02:03:36,950
This is the divorce document.

1941
02:03:38,000 --> 02:03:40,620
This is the partition deed.

1942
02:03:55,160 --> 02:03:56,160
Killi.

1943
02:03:57,000 --> 02:03:58,200
You got what you wanted.

1944
02:03:58,870 --> 02:03:59,790
Let's head back.

1945
02:04:09,080 --> 02:04:10,080
One minute.

1946
02:04:12,620 --> 02:04:14,620
After we sent you the income tax notice,

1947
02:04:14,700 --> 02:04:17,370
you can't divide your assets
even if you get divorced.

1948
02:04:17,580 --> 02:04:18,870
It is against the law.

1949
02:04:27,580 --> 02:04:30,370
Your mad antics made us
the laughing stock of everyone.

1950
02:04:30,870 --> 02:04:32,410
We have teenagers at home.

1951
02:04:32,620 --> 02:04:34,330
How can we face our society?

1952
02:04:35,450 --> 02:04:36,950
You already have grandchildren.

1953
02:04:37,040 --> 02:04:39,080
At this age, you have
divorced each other.

1954
02:04:39,620 --> 02:04:42,540
If you can't see eye to eye,
adjust within these four walls.

1955
02:05:04,370 --> 02:05:05,370
Proprietress.

1956
02:05:07,660 --> 02:05:09,580
After sharing my life all these years,

1957
02:05:10,410 --> 02:05:13,450
if you abandon me on the streets,
where can I go?

1958
02:05:21,080 --> 02:05:22,200
We are leaving.

1959
02:05:22,830 --> 02:05:26,040
At this age, we do not have to go
through this kind of heartache.

1960
02:05:27,000 --> 02:05:28,830
Lost all your assets
out of sheer stubbornness.

1961
02:05:28,910 --> 02:05:30,540
Committed high-handed outrageous acts.

1962
02:05:30,620 --> 02:05:32,750
Also got labeled as a lunatic by everyone.

1963
02:05:32,870 --> 02:05:35,910
You divorced Ranganayaki and now why
come and stand pathetically here?

1964
02:05:36,000 --> 02:05:39,040
Did you ever once spare a thought
for your family, Doraiswamy?

1965
02:05:42,250 --> 02:05:43,660
Why are you upset, dear?

1966
02:05:43,750 --> 02:05:44,700
Don't cry.

1967
02:05:57,790 --> 02:05:58,830
What is happening here?

1968
02:05:58,910 --> 02:06:01,580
Is his madness infectious?
You are as mad as he is now.

1969
02:06:02,370 --> 02:06:03,790
I can't contain myself.

1970
02:06:04,290 --> 02:06:05,700
You tell them, dear.

1971
02:06:06,910 --> 02:06:10,250
You could have held back your laughter
a little while longer, right?

1972
02:06:12,500 --> 02:06:14,450
You burst into a cackle too soon.

1973
02:06:16,410 --> 02:06:18,620
Only you can act this well.

1974
02:06:18,750 --> 02:06:20,450
I can't compete with you, dear.

1975
02:06:26,540 --> 02:06:28,250
Dad, what is all this drama?

1976
02:06:31,950 --> 02:06:32,910
Hey!

1977
02:06:33,450 --> 02:06:35,120
What did you think of your father?

1978
02:07:08,250 --> 02:07:09,370
I want a divorce.

1979
02:07:09,950 --> 02:07:11,950
Divorce… granted.

1980
02:07:12,620 --> 02:07:14,160
Alimony… settled.

1981
02:07:22,330 --> 02:07:24,370
Listen, I think I'll go crazy!

1982
02:07:26,160 --> 02:07:27,200
My dear uncle.

1983
02:07:27,910 --> 02:07:32,200
The government issued a notice to seize
80 percent of my hard-earned money.

1984
02:07:32,750 --> 02:07:38,870
In return, I gave them a notice
that Ranganayaki and I got divorced.

1985
02:07:40,080 --> 02:07:43,290
This notice also holds legally, right?

1986
02:07:45,290 --> 02:07:49,040
They tried to destroy me
with mere paperwork.

1987
02:07:49,580 --> 02:07:53,330
In response, I turned the same paper
into my weapon

1988
02:07:53,790 --> 02:07:55,830
and razed their conspiracy to the ground.

1989
02:07:58,120 --> 02:08:00,000
Sir, I checked the documents.

1990
02:08:00,290 --> 02:08:03,910
They got divorced
one week before we served the notice.

1991
02:08:05,120 --> 02:08:06,250
How is that possible?

1992
02:08:13,950 --> 02:08:14,870
Killi.

1993
02:08:16,080 --> 02:08:17,290
Can we leave now?

1994
02:08:20,250 --> 02:08:21,120
Come on.

1995
02:08:28,870 --> 02:08:29,910
Dumbo.

1996
02:08:30,250 --> 02:08:31,290
Huh?

1997
02:08:31,790 --> 02:08:33,120
How dare you call me a dumbo?

1998
02:08:33,200 --> 02:08:35,540
For calling a government officer a fool,
I can file a case against--

1999
02:08:35,620 --> 02:08:37,200
Sir… Sir, hold on.

2000
02:08:37,450 --> 02:08:38,910
He didn't mean you.

2001
02:08:39,120 --> 02:08:41,250
His favorite pet dog.

2002
02:08:41,330 --> 02:08:42,620
We call him Dumbo.

2003
02:08:43,910 --> 02:08:45,160
Dumbo, come here.

2004
02:08:46,330 --> 02:08:47,290
You can leave.

2005
02:08:47,620 --> 02:08:48,540
Dumbo?

2006
02:08:52,120 --> 02:08:53,200
Hey!

2007
02:08:54,040 --> 02:08:57,830
Did you think you had a bone
in your mouth?

2008
02:08:59,290 --> 02:09:01,250
That is just an ordinary stick.

2009
02:09:08,620 --> 02:09:09,790
Come, Pillai.

2010
02:09:14,540 --> 02:09:16,410
What? Don't you understand?

2011
02:09:17,540 --> 02:09:18,540
Simple.

2012
02:09:18,910 --> 02:09:24,910
Which law stipulates a divorced couple
cannot live under the same roof?

2013
02:09:31,790 --> 02:09:35,120
The assets I earned by shedding
my blood, sweat and tears…

2014
02:09:36,290 --> 02:09:39,200
The tender love and care
of my family and bloodline…

2015
02:09:40,200 --> 02:09:44,000
Neither paper nor any man can negate
or invalidate it!

2016
02:09:45,250 --> 02:09:46,370
My dear son, Dorai.

2017
02:09:46,450 --> 02:09:47,790
You are not G. D. Naidu.

2018
02:09:47,870 --> 02:09:49,120
You are Genius Naidu!

2019
02:09:51,410 --> 02:09:54,080
Naidu, all of you smile.

2020
02:10:00,750 --> 02:10:02,910
A FEW YEARS LATER

2021
02:10:11,080 --> 02:10:12,000
Sir.

2022
02:10:12,870 --> 02:10:14,000
Sir.

2023
02:10:14,120 --> 02:10:15,450
Here's the sacred offering.

2024
02:10:16,290 --> 02:10:17,330
Priest.

2025
02:10:17,410 --> 02:10:19,830
Pack that offering in a paper for him.

2026
02:10:20,370 --> 02:10:23,080
Whatever it is,
he likes to see it on paper!

2027
02:10:25,450 --> 02:10:26,330
Oh, God..

2028
02:10:27,200 --> 02:10:28,290
Thank you, sir.

2029
02:10:28,750 --> 02:10:29,660
Gayathri.

2030
02:10:38,250 --> 02:10:41,410
You have never liked me, right?

2031
02:10:44,080 --> 02:10:46,290
As Income Tax officer Krishnan,

2032
02:10:47,000 --> 02:10:49,950
I have never neglected my duty
in my entire career.

2033
02:10:51,040 --> 02:10:53,370
The same holds true in your case too,
Mr. Naidu.

2034
02:10:54,500 --> 02:10:57,410
What I couldn't tell you
as an Income Tax officer,

2035
02:10:57,910 --> 02:10:59,200
I would like to share now.

2036
02:11:00,910 --> 02:11:05,040
I am and will always be your ardent fan

2037
02:11:06,000 --> 02:11:09,660
for all your ingenious inventions
and the way you respect your profession.

2038
02:11:12,080 --> 02:11:13,200
I have retired now.

2039
02:11:14,410 --> 02:11:16,870
Happily retired
with a sense of total fulfillment.

2040
02:11:18,620 --> 02:11:20,330
Can I ask you something now?

2041
02:11:21,000 --> 02:11:23,290
That penalty is a pittance to you.

2042
02:11:23,540 --> 02:11:26,620
If only you had paid it promptly
and been done with it,

2043
02:11:27,370 --> 02:11:30,950
you would have reached greater heights
in your business than you have now.

2044
02:11:31,040 --> 02:11:32,080
How many people…

2045
02:11:32,160 --> 02:11:33,950
How many people would have benefited?

2046
02:11:34,040 --> 02:11:38,160
You could have done much more
than your current service to the nation.

2047
02:11:38,330 --> 02:11:39,660
Am I right, Mr. Naidu?

2048
02:11:41,580 --> 02:11:42,790
Mr. Krishnan.

2049
02:11:43,370 --> 02:11:46,950
Personally, you hold me
in such high regard.

2050
02:11:47,450 --> 02:11:51,790
I am fully aware of the extra efforts
you took to save me in my times of crisis.

2051
02:11:54,330 --> 02:11:55,910
What you told me just now…

2052
02:11:56,750 --> 02:11:58,620
Even if your action was justified,

2053
02:11:59,080 --> 02:12:01,160
the ethics are debatable.

2054
02:12:02,580 --> 02:12:03,660
Shall I elaborate?

2055
02:12:05,120 --> 02:12:06,540
At one time, in our motherland,

2056
02:12:06,620 --> 02:12:10,700
art, culture, science, medicine,
trade and commerce,

2057
02:12:11,120 --> 02:12:13,290
astrology, astronomy, philosophy…

2058
02:12:13,910 --> 02:12:15,290
Peaceful life…

2059
02:12:15,370 --> 02:12:18,250
Flourished as examples
for the entire world.

2060
02:12:19,660 --> 02:12:21,870
Foreigners invaded our land
with their armies

2061
02:12:22,330 --> 02:12:23,500
and when they left,

2062
02:12:23,870 --> 02:12:26,200
they did not loot only our riches
and resources.

2063
02:12:27,790 --> 02:12:29,410
But also our cultural heritage,

2064
02:12:30,160 --> 02:12:31,410
system of education,

2065
02:12:31,830 --> 02:12:33,120
our identity…

2066
02:12:33,660 --> 02:12:35,200
They made us forget everything.

2067
02:12:38,450 --> 02:12:40,700
But they did something
even more atrocious.

2068
02:12:42,660 --> 02:12:46,370
The feeling of solidarity
as inhabitants of the same soil…

2069
02:12:47,040 --> 02:12:48,540
They eradicated it completely.

2070
02:12:49,830 --> 02:12:52,410
Religion, language,
caste discrimination…

2071
02:12:52,620 --> 02:12:55,160
They planted these poisonous seeds
deep into our soil and left.

2072
02:12:55,250 --> 02:12:57,660
That has grown into a dense forest today.

2073
02:12:59,250 --> 02:13:01,580
How to raze that forest to the ground?

2074
02:13:02,040 --> 02:13:05,250
That will be the biggest challenge
for the now-independent India.

2075
02:13:07,160 --> 02:13:09,500
But let me tell you
something now, Mr. Krishnan.

2076
02:13:11,950 --> 02:13:16,500
A sudden generation will rise
to destroy that forest.

2077
02:13:17,500 --> 02:13:20,830
They will be a force to reckon with
in ways beyond our expectations.

2078
02:13:22,290 --> 02:13:24,290
To that breed of enlightened young minds,

2079
02:13:24,370 --> 02:13:27,620
religion, language, caste, color
will hold no significance at all.

2080
02:13:29,330 --> 02:13:33,330
This world will look up
to the changes that they bring.

2081
02:13:34,750 --> 02:13:37,540
The world will applaud
with absolute awe and affection.

2082
02:13:41,160 --> 02:13:42,750
To that progressive generation,

2083
02:13:43,160 --> 02:13:44,580
on hindsight,

2084
02:13:45,750 --> 02:13:48,790
how can I set a bad example
to them, Krishnan?

2085
02:13:50,910 --> 02:13:53,500
Just for my personal efforts
and selfish gains,

2086
02:13:54,160 --> 02:13:59,910
if I had paid up the wrong tax
imposed by those wretched Britishers,

2087
02:14:01,000 --> 02:14:02,450
it would mean
that I had compromised my principles

2088
02:14:02,540 --> 02:14:04,330
and given in to their unfair policy.

2089
02:14:07,450 --> 02:14:11,790
You would have retired as an officer
with clean hands and integrity intact.

2090
02:14:13,370 --> 02:14:16,910
But the palm of my hand
would have been stained!

2091
02:14:18,330 --> 02:14:20,410
In what way is that
fair or just, Krishnan?

2092
02:14:21,830 --> 02:14:23,910
I don't want that story
as part of history.

2093
02:14:24,700 --> 02:14:27,750
The way you are retiring
with total fulfillment,

2094
02:14:28,910 --> 02:14:30,750
my heart is filled
with the same contentment.

2095
02:14:30,830 --> 02:14:34,330
With my head held high and a strong
sense of pride, I stand before you.

2096
02:14:37,410 --> 02:14:38,870
Tell me now, Mr. Krishnan.

2097
02:14:40,870 --> 02:14:41,910
Am I right?

2098
02:14:48,410 --> 02:14:49,870
Oh, no! Not my feet!

2099
02:14:50,750 --> 02:14:51,910
Come here.

2100
02:15:25,620 --> 02:15:26,660
Sir.

2101
02:15:26,750 --> 02:15:29,580
Do our nation's politicians
lack complete foresight?

2102
02:15:30,450 --> 02:15:33,410
No aspirations for our country
to progress and prosper, sir?

2103
02:15:34,700 --> 02:15:37,540
G. D. Naidu was a visionary
in every aspect, sir.

2104
02:15:38,120 --> 02:15:40,790
<i>The first electric motor in India</i>
<i>was invented by him.</i>

2105
02:15:41,160 --> 02:15:43,450
<i>He founded the first polytechnic college.</i>

2106
02:15:43,950 --> 02:15:46,540
<i>He pioneered a revolution</i>
<i>in agricultural yields.</i>

2107
02:15:47,080 --> 02:15:50,080
<i>He introduced people to the healing power</i>
<i>of Siddha medicine.</i>

2108
02:15:50,450 --> 02:15:55,290
<i>A practical engineering curriculum</i>
<i>can be completed in just two years.</i>

2109
02:15:55,500 --> 02:15:57,580
<i>He proved it and recommended its adoption.</i>

2110
02:15:58,000 --> 02:16:01,500
But we overlooked his major contributions
to humanity

2111
02:16:01,700 --> 02:16:04,750
and painted him to be a villain
in the eyes of the world, sir.

2112
02:16:07,000 --> 02:16:10,080
They have branded
such a noble man as a traitor?

2113
02:16:11,330 --> 02:16:12,330
If that is the case,

2114
02:16:12,450 --> 02:16:14,120
Mr. Gandhi, Mr. Ambedkar,

2115
02:16:14,200 --> 02:16:15,450
eminent political leaders,

2116
02:16:15,540 --> 02:16:16,750
renowned scientists,

2117
02:16:16,830 --> 02:16:19,000
celebrated thinkers,
revered religious leaders…

2118
02:16:19,080 --> 02:16:22,700
Would they have visited his house
as guests if he had been a traitor, sir?

2119
02:16:23,700 --> 02:16:27,040
All these years, we've been living
in a state of blissful ignorance.

2120
02:16:27,830 --> 02:16:30,580
We have been reading
distorted versions of history, sir.

2121
02:16:31,370 --> 02:16:32,580
I feel ashamed, sir.

2122
02:16:33,450 --> 02:16:34,500
Humiliated.

2123
02:16:49,160 --> 02:16:50,330
Even after knowing all this,

2124
02:16:50,410 --> 02:16:53,500
if we don't include the history
of G. D. Naidu in our syllabus,

2125
02:16:53,830 --> 02:16:55,330
history will never forgive us.

2126
02:16:57,160 --> 02:16:58,250
Ms. Padmavathi.

2127
02:16:59,370 --> 02:17:00,620
Please pardon us.

2128
02:17:07,290 --> 02:17:08,700
DEPARTMENT OF SCHOOL EDUCATION
GOVERNMENT OF TAMILNADU

2129
02:17:11,370 --> 02:17:12,410
I'll take leave, sir.

2130
02:17:13,120 --> 02:17:14,200
Excuse me.

2131
02:17:17,250 --> 02:17:19,660
Are you related to G. D. Naidu?

2132
02:17:22,790 --> 02:17:23,620
No, sir.

2133
02:17:23,910 --> 02:17:26,120
My father is a retired Income Tax Officer.

2134
02:17:27,500 --> 02:17:28,580
His name is…

2135
02:17:30,450 --> 02:17:31,750
Ambalapara Krishnan.
