1960 EACHANARI, COIMBATORE

2
00:01:43,083 --> 00:01:45,875
Mr. Naidu, are you giving us
a hard time looking for you?

3
00:01:45,958 --> 00:01:48,541
Do you realize hiding like this
is punishable by law?

4
00:01:48,708 --> 00:01:51,833
The government's 90-day grace period
for you to pay up ended yesterday.

5
00:01:51,916 --> 00:01:55,750
To recover your unpaid taxes
and penalties,

6
00:01:56,291 --> 00:01:59,208
the government will confiscate
80 percent of all your assets.

7
00:01:59,291 --> 00:02:00,625
Here is the official order.

8
00:02:01,708 --> 00:02:03,375
- Mohan, please proceed.
- Yes, sir.

9
00:02:04,083 --> 00:02:06,750
You have to hand over
your title deeds immediately, sir.

10
00:02:06,833 --> 00:02:08,750
You must provide 52 documents in total.

11
00:02:11,958 --> 00:02:12,875
Pillai.

12
00:02:14,250 --> 00:02:15,750
Give them what they want.

13
00:02:19,500 --> 00:02:20,333
Okay.

14
00:02:21,166 --> 00:02:22,458
Please wait, I'll be back.

15
00:02:28,500 --> 00:02:31,916
1984
TAMIL NADU EDUCATION BOARD, MADRAS

16
00:02:39,750 --> 00:02:41,041
This is unfair, sir.

17
00:02:41,375 --> 00:02:42,750
Padma is a young girl.

18
00:02:43,125 --> 00:02:44,583
So what if she doesn't sign?

19
00:02:44,958 --> 00:02:46,791
Haven't the majority of us signed?

20
00:02:46,875 --> 00:02:48,375
Our protocol has changed, ma'am.

21
00:02:48,500 --> 00:02:50,708
{\an8}Even if one member doesn't sign,
the syllabus won't be approved.

22
00:02:50,791 --> 00:02:54,583
Oh, God! We've been discussing the same
for two weeks over tea and snacks!

23
00:02:54,666 --> 00:02:56,333
How much longer
will you drag this, sir?

24
00:02:56,666 --> 00:02:58,166
{\an8}What do you want me to do?

25
00:02:58,916 --> 00:02:59,750
{\an8}I'm helpless.

26
00:03:00,083 --> 00:03:03,250
We have to finalize the syllabus
by the 9th and send it to print.

27
00:03:03,333 --> 00:03:04,958
She still hasn't signed it.

28
00:03:05,208 --> 00:03:07,166
What can I do? Outrageous!

29
00:03:08,291 --> 00:03:10,083
Sir, for the salary we earn

30
00:03:10,166 --> 00:03:13,208
and the snacks we eat here, we should be
at least a little bit fair, right?

31
00:03:13,291 --> 00:03:15,583
Just to print the same
syllabus every year,

32
00:03:15,666 --> 00:03:17,666
why do we have this
redundant committee?

33
00:03:17,916 --> 00:03:19,250
I have only one question.

34
00:03:19,416 --> 00:03:23,375
Why shouldn't our students learn
about a deserving individual?

35
00:03:24,458 --> 00:03:26,791
That "deserving individual"
she's talking about…

36
00:03:27,166 --> 00:03:29,208
He cheated the government
without paying taxes.

37
00:03:29,291 --> 00:03:32,583
In his old age, he went crazy
and bombed his own building.

38
00:03:32,666 --> 00:03:35,250
He is a thief, a terrorist and a lunatic.

39
00:03:35,333 --> 00:03:36,833
We don't have time to discuss

40
00:03:36,916 --> 00:03:39,250
whether to include such a man
in our syllabus.

41
00:03:39,916 --> 00:03:42,000
Sir, at least all of that happened
later in his life.

42
00:03:42,083 --> 00:03:43,208
Leave that aside.

43
00:03:43,375 --> 00:03:45,791
He didn't even complete Grade Three
in school.

44
00:03:45,875 --> 00:03:48,958
{\an8}He threw mud at his teacher's face.
If we make our children learn

45
00:03:49,041 --> 00:03:51,083
{\an8}about such a person, it's a shame for us.

46
00:03:52,375 --> 00:03:53,791
You have a silver tongue, ma'am.

47
00:03:53,875 --> 00:03:55,291
But shall I share something?

48
00:03:55,791 --> 00:03:57,208
Whatever the truth is,

49
00:03:57,375 --> 00:04:01,291
only the writers decide
what gets recorded in history.

50
00:04:02,541 --> 00:04:05,750
If a lion pens the story of a hunt
without the hunter,

51
00:04:06,083 --> 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
00:04:10,333 --> 00:04:16,875
The reason I delayed signing the syllabus
for the past few weeks is this.

54
00:04:18,166 --> 00:04:21,333
I request all of you
to read this from cover to cover.

55
00:04:21,791 --> 00:04:22,916
Even after reading it,

56
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,541
if you are of the opinion
that G.D.N. is a terrorist,

57
00:04:26,083 --> 00:04:28,000
anti-national and a tax evader,

58
00:04:29,333 --> 00:04:30,833
you don't have to wait for me.

59
00:04:31,083 --> 00:04:32,250
I will resign on my own.

60
00:04:38,333 --> 00:04:42,708

1914 KALANGAL, COIMBATORE

62
00:05:00,583 --> 00:05:06,416
{\an8}<i>You are the rhythm</i>
<i>My dreams longed to find</i>

63
00:05:07,708 --> 00:05:13,500
{\an8}<i>You awakened the music in my heart</i>

64
00:05:14,541 --> 00:05:18,041
{\an8}<i>I lived all alone in a town unknown…</i>

65
00:05:18,875 --> 00:05:20,250
{\an8}Don't char it too much.

66
00:05:23,083 --> 00:05:25,541
{\an8}- Hey, the motorcycle has stopped.
- So what?

67
00:05:27,458 --> 00:05:29,416
{\an8}Kathavaraya, take the kerosene
and the cutter.

68
00:05:29,500 --> 00:05:31,083
- Why?
- Take it.

69
00:05:34,125 --> 00:05:35,041
My Lord!

70
00:05:35,833 --> 00:05:36,708
My Lord!

71
00:05:36,916 --> 00:05:37,791
My Lord!

72
00:05:38,875 --> 00:05:40,375
- Who are you?
- This is for you!

73
00:05:41,041 --> 00:05:42,666
- Don't hit me…
- What do you want?

74
00:05:43,333 --> 00:05:44,750
The kerosene. It's for you.

75
00:05:51,041 --> 00:05:53,583
When your motorcycle stopped in Sulur
the other day,

76
00:05:53,708 --> 00:05:55,583
you used kerosene to clean it, right?

77
00:05:56,916 --> 00:05:57,875
Sulur?

78
00:05:59,416 --> 00:06:00,791
It happened last year.

79
00:06:02,250 --> 00:06:04,125
Have you been following me since then?

80
00:06:04,916 --> 00:06:06,416
No, no, no.

81
00:06:07,250 --> 00:06:08,250
I didn't follow you.

82
00:06:10,500 --> 00:06:11,916
I followed the motorcycle.

83
00:06:15,250 --> 00:06:17,791
- You like motorcycles this much?
- Yes.

84
00:06:19,041 --> 00:06:21,250
Our cart moves only when
two strong bulls pull it.

85
00:06:21,333 --> 00:06:23,291
But such a small motor
makes your motorcycle move!

86
00:06:23,375 --> 00:06:24,708
That really fascinates me.

87
00:06:26,625 --> 00:06:27,833
Hand me the lamp.

88
00:06:29,166 --> 00:06:31,500
{\an8}And remove the spark plug.

89
00:06:31,750 --> 00:06:33,208
See? Carbon.

90
00:06:33,333 --> 00:06:36,125
{\an8}Now clean it using
the kerosene and the knife.

91
00:06:36,666 --> 00:06:37,708
{\an8}You see this hook?

92
00:06:38,541 --> 00:06:39,375
And now…

93
00:06:40,500 --> 00:06:42,541
{\an8}Throw that cap back on and you are done.

94
00:06:44,291 --> 00:06:46,458
- Take this.
- I don't want money.

95
00:06:46,833 --> 00:06:47,958
What else do you want?

96
00:06:48,583 --> 00:06:51,000
I like… your motorcycle.

97
00:06:53,708 --> 00:06:55,291
Will you sell this to me?

98
00:06:56,416 --> 00:06:58,416
Do you have 250 rupees?

99
00:06:59,041 --> 00:06:59,916
Yes, I do.

100
00:07:00,916 --> 00:07:02,041
What?

101
00:07:02,416 --> 00:07:03,583
250?

102
00:07:03,833 --> 00:07:04,833
Yes.

103
00:07:05,166 --> 00:07:06,041
What's your name?

104
00:07:06,625 --> 00:07:07,958
You are a British "Dorai".

105
00:07:08,208 --> 00:07:09,500
I am a Tamil Dorai.

106
00:07:11,041 --> 00:07:12,750
Gopalaswamy Doraiswamy Naidu.

107
00:07:14,291 --> 00:07:15,625
Alright, Doraiswamy.

108
00:07:16,750 --> 00:07:18,541
Come see me when you have the money.

109
00:07:24,041 --> 00:07:25,166
I'll come tomorrow.

110
00:07:29,583 --> 00:07:31,833
- Chellamma.
- Tell me.

111
00:07:33,791 --> 00:07:36,000
Where are you off to
so early in the morning?

112
00:07:37,750 --> 00:07:40,041
- I told you about a motorcycle, right?
- Yes.

113
00:07:40,375 --> 00:07:42,416
That British man agreed to sell it to me.

114
00:07:43,333 --> 00:07:45,291
I am short by 20 rupees.

115
00:07:47,833 --> 00:07:49,333
- I'll handle it.
- Wait, dear.

116
00:08:03,458 --> 00:08:05,666
{\an8}- Are you also coming to buy it?
- Come on, dear.

117
00:08:05,750 --> 00:08:06,791
Climb on.

118
00:08:10,708 --> 00:08:14,458
{\an8}<i>When I look at you, love is in the air</i>

119
00:08:14,541 --> 00:08:17,500
{\an8}<i>A wondrous spell beyond compare</i>

120
00:08:18,041 --> 00:08:21,708
{\an8}<i>Without you near, my smiles fade</i>

121
00:08:21,791 --> 00:08:24,833
{\an8}<i>My heart is lost in sorrow's shade</i>

122
00:08:24,916 --> 00:08:26,916
Hey! Shameless fellows!
Step out of the field!

123
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,458
Hey! Shut your mouth!

124
00:08:29,958 --> 00:08:32,125
The landlords won't even peep in here.

125
00:08:32,291 --> 00:08:34,083
Revolt and rot right there.

126
00:08:34,208 --> 00:08:35,916
Let's continue with our work.

127
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,541
It seems the lunatics are revolting.

128
00:08:37,625 --> 00:08:38,625
What is it?

129
00:08:39,375 --> 00:08:41,416
Everyone has gone
into the fields to work.

130
00:08:42,083 --> 00:08:43,958
- Sit down.
- It's alright, sir.

131
00:08:44,291 --> 00:08:46,333
Did the landlords agree to your requests?

132
00:08:46,416 --> 00:08:47,416
Not at all!

133
00:08:47,833 --> 00:08:49,375
Even if we work all day,

134
00:08:49,666 --> 00:08:52,416
the men get paid 3.5 <i>annas</i>
and women get paid only 2.5 <i>annas</i>.

135
00:08:52,500 --> 00:08:53,708
The yield is very good this time.

136
00:08:53,791 --> 00:08:56,458
But the landlords refuse
to increase even one <i>anna</i>.

137
00:08:57,125 --> 00:08:58,166
Look at our menfolk.

138
00:08:58,250 --> 00:09:01,291
They are shamelessly working
without even heeding our protest.

139
00:09:01,625 --> 00:09:02,958
Ask them to step out.

140
00:09:03,291 --> 00:09:04,291
Hey, Vellaya!

141
00:09:04,375 --> 00:09:05,625
What are you doing there?

142
00:09:05,833 --> 00:09:06,791
Dorai.

143
00:09:06,875 --> 00:09:09,333
You listened to her
and you're yelling at me, huh?

144
00:09:10,708 --> 00:09:12,375
- I'll handle this.
- Hey, Deivanai!

145
00:09:12,833 --> 00:09:14,583
If you utter one word more,

146
00:09:14,916 --> 00:09:16,625
- I am warning you…
- Don't worry, Deivanai.

147
00:09:16,708 --> 00:09:18,625
It's been a week
since they started protesting.

148
00:09:18,708 --> 00:09:20,708
Not one landlord paid attention to this.

149
00:09:21,291 --> 00:09:22,750
I don't have a single penny on me.

150
00:09:22,833 --> 00:09:24,166
What do you want me to do?

151
00:09:25,291 --> 00:09:26,125
Hey.

152
00:09:26,208 --> 00:09:28,916
Vella, a protest is like
grabbing a tiger's tail.

153
00:09:30,333 --> 00:09:32,125
You shouldn't let go
until they raise your wages.

154
00:09:32,208 --> 00:09:33,833
If we loosen our grip,
that's the end of our story.

155
00:09:33,916 --> 00:09:36,833
Do you want all our wives
and children to die of starvation?

156
00:09:36,916 --> 00:09:39,500
- I am prepared to die.
- You go ahead and die!

157
00:09:39,916 --> 00:09:42,333
- But why do you kill my baby in your womb?
- Hey.

158
00:09:44,166 --> 00:09:45,416
Here, take this.

159
00:09:45,791 --> 00:09:46,708
Oh, no!

160
00:09:47,666 --> 00:09:48,958
- Dorai…
- Take it!

161
00:09:49,083 --> 00:09:50,375
Why do I need so much money?

162
00:09:50,458 --> 00:09:52,041
- There's no need.
- Just keep it.

163
00:09:56,250 --> 00:09:58,583
Dorai, why give us money?
We'll manage.

164
00:09:58,666 --> 00:10:00,416
Keep quiet, man.
Listen, all of you!

165
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,500
This amount is for all of you.

166
00:10:03,166 --> 00:10:05,291
If you don't plant seedlings
for two more crop seasons,

167
00:10:05,375 --> 00:10:07,416
those landlords will come down
from their high horse.

168
00:10:07,500 --> 00:10:10,375
How can you give away so much money?

169
00:10:10,458 --> 00:10:11,916
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
00:10:15,041 --> 00:10:16,541
Don't let go until they agree.

172
00:10:16,791 --> 00:10:19,083
You can use this money
for your expenses until then, right?

173
00:10:19,166 --> 00:10:20,791
My husband means well.

174
00:10:25,166 --> 00:10:26,083
Doraiswamy.

175
00:10:26,166 --> 00:10:27,291
God bless you, my boy.

176
00:10:27,375 --> 00:10:28,833
God bless you, Doraiswamy!

177
00:10:46,666 --> 00:10:49,833
If he gave the entire amount
he had saved to those poor farmers,

178
00:10:50,375 --> 00:10:52,125
didn't he buy that motorcycle, sir?

179
00:10:52,291 --> 00:10:53,291
He didn't buy it then.

180
00:10:53,375 --> 00:10:56,500
"But in order to buy
the motorcycle he desired,

181
00:10:56,583 --> 00:10:58,291
he moved away from his wife and children

182
00:10:58,375 --> 00:10:59,583
<i>and went to Coimbatore."</i>

183
00:10:59,666 --> 00:11:04,333
{\an8}<i>''There, he worked as a server</i>
<i>in a restaurant for three years.''</i>

184
00:11:06,250 --> 00:11:08,041
{\an8}<i>''He toiled day and night</i>

185
00:11:08,333 --> 00:11:11,083
{\an8}<i>and saved money</i>
<i>to make his dream come true."</i>

186
00:11:24,833 --> 00:11:26,083
The amount you specified.

187
00:11:26,458 --> 00:11:27,958
Good Lord, you managed it.

188
00:11:28,250 --> 00:11:30,291
Do you know how to ride a motorcycle?

189
00:11:30,708 --> 00:11:32,416
I can learn if I see it once, sir.

190
00:11:39,208 --> 00:11:43,541
{\an8}<i>You lit my mind with love anew</i>

191
00:11:47,125 --> 00:11:52,000
{\an8}<i>You made my heart bloom just for you</i>

192
00:11:55,166 --> 00:11:59,458
{\an8}<i>My day is filled with dreams</i>

193
00:11:59,541 --> 00:12:03,083
{\an8}<i>Flowing like honeyed streams</i>

194
00:12:04,250 --> 00:12:08,458
<i>As I walked by your side</i>

195
00:12:08,541 --> 00:12:12,250
<i>My soul rejoiced and bloomed inside</i>

196
00:12:12,333 --> 00:12:16,208
<i>When our dreams entwine</i>

197
00:12:16,291 --> 00:12:20,458
<i>The whole world shines divine…</i>

198
00:12:36,666 --> 00:12:37,666
Listen, my dear.

199
00:12:39,208 --> 00:12:40,041
Dear!

200
00:12:40,750 --> 00:12:41,750
Yes?

201
00:12:41,916 --> 00:12:44,625
Our daughter wants to go
for a ride on your motorcycle.

202
00:12:44,875 --> 00:12:45,916
Shall we get ready?

203
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,875
<i>For keeps, for eternity</i>
<i>You are the love that embraces me</i>

204
00:12:52,291 --> 00:12:59,291
{\an8}<i>Come what may, even if far apart</i>
<i>You are always close to my heart</i>

205
00:13:00,375 --> 00:13:04,291
{\an8}<i>Despite distant shores we see</i>

206
00:13:04,375 --> 00:13:08,500
{\an8}<i>You will always be a part of me</i>

207
00:13:11,416 --> 00:13:12,458
What is this?

208
00:13:12,875 --> 00:13:14,416
You dismantled it?

209
00:13:17,916 --> 00:13:20,291
It isn't enough to learn
how to ride it, dear.

210
00:13:20,416 --> 00:13:22,041
I should learn how it runs.

211
00:13:22,583 --> 00:13:24,458
That's the reason I bought this bike.

212
00:13:26,250 --> 00:13:29,583
You could have fulfilled our child's wish
and then done this, right?

213
00:13:30,416 --> 00:13:33,625
{\an8}<i>It echoed within me</i>

214
00:13:34,333 --> 00:13:37,458
{\an8}<i>As ragas in melody</i>

215
00:13:38,375 --> 00:13:41,416
{\an8}<i>In rhythmic rhapsody</i>

216
00:13:41,541 --> 00:13:45,791
{\an8}<i>Playful games on love's pathway</i>
<i>Youth bursts forth in glad display</i>

217
00:13:45,875 --> 00:13:49,541
{\an8}<i>Now you are here</i>
<i>You stole my heart, dear</i>

218
00:13:49,625 --> 00:13:53,791
{\an8}<i>Though silver moonlight fades away</i>
<i>Though dreams are clouded with dismay</i>

219
00:13:53,875 --> 00:13:57,708
{\an8}<i>Our hearts heaven-made</i>
<i>Will such a love ever fade?</i>

220
00:13:57,791 --> 00:14:01,708
{\an8}<i>Without you, not even a blink</i>
<i>My heart won't sleep a wink</i>

221
00:14:01,791 --> 00:14:05,833
{\an8}<i>Knowing you are next to me here</i>
<i>My heart blossoms with cheer</i>

222
00:14:05,916 --> 00:14:09,916
{\an8}<i>Your beauty shines bright and true</i>
<i>Even those gods can't resist you</i>

223
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,166
{\an8}<i>I will look at God eye to eye</i>
<i>And make them flee and fly</i>

224
00:14:13,583 --> 00:14:17,666
{\an8}<i>The whole village stops to stare</i>
<i>You're a beauty beyond compare</i>

225
00:14:17,750 --> 00:14:20,416
{\an8}<i>Endless tales of you begin to bloom anew</i>

226
00:14:20,500 --> 00:14:25,375
{\an8}<i>All day long, as I walked by your side</i>

227
00:14:25,458 --> 00:14:29,625
{\an8}<i>My soul rejoiced and bloomed inside</i>

228
00:14:29,708 --> 00:14:33,625
{\an8}<i>When our dreams entwine</i>

229
00:14:33,708 --> 00:14:37,541
{\an8}<i>The whole world shines divine</i>

230
00:14:37,625 --> 00:14:41,416
<i>As I walk with you right here</i>

231
00:14:41,541 --> 00:14:45,541
<i>My soul rejoices with cheer</i>

232
00:14:45,625 --> 00:14:49,791
<i>When our hearts and dreams align</i>

233
00:14:49,875 --> 00:14:53,250
<i>The whole world begins to shine…</i>

234
00:14:53,333 --> 00:14:54,375
Chellamma.

235
00:14:56,916 --> 00:14:59,541
Shall we ride the motorcycle?

236
00:15:01,416 --> 00:15:02,250
I won't come.

237
00:15:03,458 --> 00:15:04,291
Why?

238
00:15:06,625 --> 00:15:07,708
Look over there.

239
00:15:10,041 --> 00:15:12,583
Dorai, your new motorcycle
looks terrific indeed.

240
00:15:12,791 --> 00:15:14,625
Like it? Take it for a ride.

241
00:15:14,708 --> 00:15:16,416
I had enough rides last night.

242
00:15:16,500 --> 00:15:17,666
Then let's go.

243
00:15:18,333 --> 00:15:19,166
Where?

244
00:15:19,541 --> 00:15:22,291
I've asked a mill owner I know
to give you a job.

245
00:15:22,375 --> 00:15:23,541
Who did you ask?

246
00:15:23,625 --> 00:15:25,541
I'm going to Coimbatore city
to work in a garage.

247
00:15:25,625 --> 00:15:28,583
It seems your wife doesn't want you
to go to the city.

248
00:15:29,166 --> 00:15:30,541
Oh!

249
00:15:31,250 --> 00:15:33,250
My uncle and my wife are ganging up?

250
00:15:33,333 --> 00:15:36,833
Uncle, I can earn money
only if I go to Coimbatore to work.

251
00:15:37,083 --> 00:15:40,458
If I had stayed in this village,
could I have bought this motorcycle?

252
00:15:40,750 --> 00:15:41,666
Dorai.

253
00:15:42,208 --> 00:15:43,958
Cotton farming is our family occupation.

254
00:15:44,041 --> 00:15:45,708
Only if you supervise it from here

255
00:15:45,791 --> 00:15:48,375
will our relatives help you
if there's a problem.

256
00:15:48,750 --> 00:15:49,791
Listen to me.

257
00:15:50,375 --> 00:15:52,208
Earn well from the trade you know

258
00:15:52,625 --> 00:15:54,333
and invest that money in a trade you love.

259
00:15:54,416 --> 00:15:56,541
Then you'll become
a successful businessman.

260
00:16:00,083 --> 00:16:02,291
Okay, in which mill
have you got me a job?

261
00:16:06,333 --> 00:16:07,166
DHANALAKSHMI COTTON MILL

262
00:16:07,250 --> 00:16:08,708
- Is he your candidate?
- Yes, madam.

263
00:16:08,791 --> 00:16:11,916
He is the first person to come here
on a motorcycle asking for a job!

264
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,708
Take off your turban.

265
00:16:14,791 --> 00:16:16,250
He is so clueless!

266
00:16:16,333 --> 00:16:18,583
Take it off
and tie it around your waist.

267
00:16:20,458 --> 00:16:21,458
Madam.

268
00:16:22,791 --> 00:16:24,583
Will he bend his back and work hard?

269
00:16:25,083 --> 00:16:26,125
Stand with your hands folded.

270
00:16:26,208 --> 00:16:27,500
He will go the extra mile.

271
00:16:28,250 --> 00:16:30,041
I'll hire him because he is your nephew.

272
00:16:30,125 --> 00:16:33,250
Listen, boy, there are some rules
to be followed if you work here.

273
00:16:33,333 --> 00:16:34,916
You must report for work early.

274
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,791
You should not take leaves
without a reason.

275
00:16:36,875 --> 00:16:38,875
You should not gossip
with your co-workers.

276
00:16:38,958 --> 00:16:41,333
You will get a monthly salary
of five rupees, understood?

277
00:16:41,416 --> 00:16:43,166
I also have a few rules, madam.

278
00:16:43,250 --> 00:16:44,166
Hey!

279
00:16:45,625 --> 00:16:47,625
I'm here to train as a mill worker.

280
00:16:47,708 --> 00:16:49,291
I will be here only for two years.

281
00:16:49,375 --> 00:16:53,375
After learning the ropes of this job,
I intend to start my own mill.

282
00:16:53,458 --> 00:16:54,708
Are you out of your mind?

283
00:16:56,041 --> 00:16:57,958
You're being upfront.

284
00:16:58,416 --> 00:17:01,083
- Ramasamy, how many will be so frank?
- Madam?

285
00:17:04,083 --> 00:17:06,375
Thavasi, take this boy
and teach him the job.

286
00:17:06,500 --> 00:17:07,458
- Yes, madam.
- Thank her.

287
00:17:07,541 --> 00:17:09,166
- Go.
- Come with me.

288
00:17:09,250 --> 00:17:10,333
Go, dear.

289
00:17:10,416 --> 00:17:14,833
<i>Rooted deep in their native soil</i>
<i>Countless hands here honor the toil</i>

290
00:17:14,916 --> 00:17:19,541
<i>Unity is our power so strong</i>
<i>Supporting us lifelong</i>

291
00:17:25,875 --> 00:17:29,958
<i>For those who toil away</i>

292
00:17:30,166 --> 00:17:33,916
<i>No loss will come their way</i>

293
00:17:34,458 --> 00:17:38,541
<i>Just believe you will achieve</i>

294
00:17:38,791 --> 00:17:42,875
<i>Where work is plentiful all around</i>

295
00:17:42,958 --> 00:17:46,708
<i>The clever never lose their ground…</i>

296
00:17:46,791 --> 00:17:49,625
Doraiswamy, go to Vairavan's shop
and buy soap nut powder.

297
00:17:49,708 --> 00:17:51,708
Pluck some neem leaves on the way back.

298
00:17:51,791 --> 00:17:53,833
This child has lice all over her head.

299
00:17:54,541 --> 00:18:00,583
<i>The wisdom that you gain and seek</i>
<i>Will lift you to the highest peak</i>

300
00:18:08,208 --> 00:18:12,458
<i>Clash with mountains, never yield</i>
<i>Display courage which is your shield</i>

301
00:18:12,583 --> 00:18:16,791
<i>Let your heart lead the way</i>
<i>Take each step to a brighter day</i>

302
00:18:16,875 --> 00:18:21,208
<i>Learn the ways of the wise</i>
<i>Change your tactics and rise</i>

303
00:18:21,500 --> 00:18:25,375
<i>Let your passion rise within</i>
<i>Let your grit and guts kick in</i>

304
00:18:31,791 --> 00:18:32,833
Madam.

305
00:18:33,458 --> 00:18:35,041
Can you teach me English too?

306
00:18:40,458 --> 00:18:41,375
Madam.

307
00:18:42,875 --> 00:18:43,875
What is this?

308
00:18:55,458 --> 00:18:57,500
- What is this?
- Eggplant!

309
00:19:01,375 --> 00:19:02,416
Very good.

310
00:19:03,791 --> 00:19:07,458
The way you remove the nits
with a lice comb

311
00:19:07,666 --> 00:19:09,375
the same way, this machine

312
00:19:09,458 --> 00:19:11,583
separates the cotton fiber from the seeds.

313
00:19:12,041 --> 00:19:13,291
Good Lord!

314
00:19:13,625 --> 00:19:14,875
How amazing!

315
00:19:26,708 --> 00:19:29,208
TWO YEARS LATER

316
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,416
G. D. GINNING MILL

317
00:19:43,875 --> 00:19:47,041
- Hey! Remove all the carts from there!
- Dorai!

318
00:19:47,791 --> 00:19:49,875
All the bigwigs are waiting
for the mill's inauguration.

319
00:19:49,958 --> 00:19:52,625
- Won't others take care of this?
- Uncle, did you see Chellamma?

320
00:19:52,708 --> 00:19:54,458
Chellamma? She was right here.

321
00:19:54,916 --> 00:19:55,750
Chellamma?

322
00:19:56,291 --> 00:19:57,125
Chellamma?

323
00:19:58,083 --> 00:19:59,083
Deivanai?

324
00:19:59,708 --> 00:20:00,791
Did you see Chellamma?

325
00:20:01,041 --> 00:20:03,750
She felt unwell, so she is taking rest.

326
00:20:04,583 --> 00:20:05,916
- She is unwell?
- Yes.

327
00:20:12,708 --> 00:20:13,541
Hey!

328
00:20:14,208 --> 00:20:15,250
Chellamma!

329
00:20:15,333 --> 00:20:17,250
- What happened?
- It's nothing.

330
00:20:17,791 --> 00:20:20,375
- I was feeling tired.
- You are saying you feel tired.

331
00:20:20,625 --> 00:20:22,250
But you're burning up with a high fever.

332
00:20:22,333 --> 00:20:23,625
- Lingam?
- Sir?

333
00:20:23,708 --> 00:20:25,208
- Get the cart ready to go to the doctor.
- Sure, sir.

334
00:20:25,291 --> 00:20:29,583
We fixed an auspicious date and invited
all the VIPs to inaugurate the mill.

335
00:20:29,666 --> 00:20:31,333
If you are not here, it won't be right.

336
00:20:31,416 --> 00:20:32,333
You go there.

337
00:20:32,583 --> 00:20:34,541
- I can go to the doctor by myself.
- Hey.

338
00:20:35,333 --> 00:20:37,583
How can today be auspicious
if you are unwell?

339
00:20:38,833 --> 00:20:41,833
Keep quiet.
Lingam, bring the ox cart!

340
00:20:45,833 --> 00:20:46,875
Chellamma?

341
00:20:47,291 --> 00:20:48,208
How are you?

342
00:20:49,458 --> 00:20:51,000
- Are you feeling better?
- Yes.

343
00:20:51,666 --> 00:20:53,958
Are you churning buttermilk
so late at night?

344
00:20:54,833 --> 00:20:57,625
Not buttermilk, Deivanai.
Add those onions to it.

345
00:21:03,958 --> 00:21:05,166
What is this?

346
00:21:05,291 --> 00:21:07,083
It has diced the onions so finely.

347
00:21:07,625 --> 00:21:09,166
My husband made this

348
00:21:09,541 --> 00:21:11,875
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 --> 00:21:17,375
You are truly blessed.

351
00:21:19,666 --> 00:21:20,833
That is the problem.

352
00:21:22,041 --> 00:21:23,708
I am unable to accept it.

353
00:21:25,708 --> 00:21:28,458
Deivanai, he has such big dreams.

354
00:21:29,916 --> 00:21:32,125
Many people have to benefit
from his dreams.

355
00:21:34,875 --> 00:21:37,416
G. D. GINNING MILL

356
00:22:14,708 --> 00:22:16,000
- Bravo.
- Wow!

357
00:22:16,083 --> 00:22:17,208
That was great!

358
00:22:17,291 --> 00:22:18,291
Very good.

359
00:22:21,333 --> 00:22:23,708
I hear the French are coming
to our aid on the Western Front.

360
00:22:23,791 --> 00:22:25,583
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
00:22:28,083 --> 00:22:29,041
Naturally.

363
00:22:29,125 --> 00:22:31,666
And soon,
Germany's dominance will be broken.

364
00:22:31,916 --> 00:22:34,958
I'd like to raise a toast
to victory over Germany.

365
00:22:35,458 --> 00:22:38,041
And for the Great War to be over soon.

366
00:22:48,166 --> 00:22:49,166
Stanes?

367
00:22:49,875 --> 00:22:52,416
I've been toying with the idea
of starting cotton farming.

368
00:22:52,500 --> 00:22:54,958
Since that's your forte,
I'd like some guidance.

369
00:22:56,875 --> 00:23:00,625
Yeah, well, actually, I know someone
with far more expertise than I do.

370
00:23:00,916 --> 00:23:02,333
Ladies and gentlemen,

371
00:23:02,791 --> 00:23:05,625
Mr. and Mrs. Naidu!

372
00:23:06,250 --> 00:23:07,958
Oh! Speak of the devil!

373
00:23:31,125 --> 00:23:32,750
Who the hell is this <i>fakir</i>?

374
00:23:33,666 --> 00:23:37,666
He is one of the most intelligent
and enterprising gentlemen I've ever met.

375
00:23:37,875 --> 00:23:40,041
Quite simply, he is a genius!

376
00:23:40,416 --> 00:23:41,500
Oh! Really?

377
00:23:46,458 --> 00:23:48,166
- Madam?
- No, thank you.

378
00:23:49,500 --> 00:23:50,791
Excuse me, ladies.

379
00:23:50,875 --> 00:23:53,375
I'm afraid I have to steal
this gentleman from you.

380
00:23:53,875 --> 00:23:55,791
- I'm sorry, ladies.
- Of course, Stanes.

381
00:23:56,125 --> 00:23:58,250
Mr. Stanes, I see the crutches have gone.

382
00:23:58,625 --> 00:24:00,833
My Siddha medicines
have worked their magic.

383
00:24:01,041 --> 00:24:04,208
Blimey! Your English has improved
by leaps and bounds.

384
00:24:04,375 --> 00:24:06,291
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
00:24:09,333 --> 00:24:10,333
It's our pleasure.

387
00:24:10,416 --> 00:24:12,083
Won't you join us at this table?

388
00:24:12,458 --> 00:24:15,208
- Thank you. Very good evening, gentlemen.
- Good evening.

389
00:24:17,291 --> 00:24:20,583
Naidu, may I present Winston Smith?
Promising young merchant.

390
00:24:20,666 --> 00:24:22,958
- Oh! Nice to meet you, Mr. Smith.
- Nice to meet you.

391
00:24:23,041 --> 00:24:25,791
And this is Henry Adams,
Commissioner of Income Tax.

392
00:24:25,875 --> 00:24:28,583
Oh! Such an honor
to meet you, Mr. Adams.

393
00:24:29,583 --> 00:24:33,416
Mr. Smith would love to get
your expert opinion on cotton farming.

394
00:24:33,666 --> 00:24:35,416
Oh! You're interested?

395
00:24:35,500 --> 00:24:36,583
Yes.

396
00:24:37,041 --> 00:24:40,875
I have cross-bred high-yield cotton plants

397
00:24:41,208 --> 00:24:44,166
with pest-resistant,
low-cost cotton varieties

398
00:24:44,416 --> 00:24:48,708
that produce the highest yields
and I've preserved those seeds carefully.

399
00:24:50,666 --> 00:24:51,625
Oh, my!

400
00:24:51,708 --> 00:24:53,375
Can I have some of your seeds, please?

401
00:24:53,458 --> 00:24:54,458
Definitely.

402
00:24:54,916 --> 00:24:56,708
But I won't give them away for free.

403
00:24:57,166 --> 00:24:59,125
I'll sell them.
That too, at my price.

404
00:25:02,083 --> 00:25:05,208
Where did you earn
your degree in botany, Mr. Naidu?

405
00:25:05,708 --> 00:25:06,833
Mr. Adams.

406
00:25:07,250 --> 00:25:11,041
My enthusiasm teaches me
many things that education couldn't.

407
00:25:13,833 --> 00:25:16,166
The audacity of this uneducated man

408
00:25:16,875 --> 00:25:18,541
to come and sell his seeds to us!

409
00:25:22,833 --> 00:25:25,833
How are you qualified to sell them to us?

410
00:25:28,333 --> 00:25:30,541
You entered our country as mere traders.

411
00:25:30,625 --> 00:25:33,041
If you think you're qualified
to rule this country,

412
00:25:33,125 --> 00:25:35,333
I'm slightly more qualified than you are.

413
00:25:38,458 --> 00:25:39,416
Naidu.

414
00:25:39,833 --> 00:25:42,958
Are you aware of where
and whom you are talking to?

415
00:25:44,583 --> 00:25:49,625
You will soon understand which country
you're in and whom you're talking to.

416
00:25:59,958 --> 00:26:00,833
We'll see.

417
00:26:06,166 --> 00:26:08,083
Naidu, why are you doing this?

418
00:26:08,583 --> 00:26:10,583
I am worried.
Think about your family.

419
00:26:10,791 --> 00:26:11,916
My dear Mr. Stanes.

420
00:26:12,166 --> 00:26:13,916
A shrewd industrialist should know

421
00:26:14,041 --> 00:26:17,708
whose feet to fall at
and whose ears to tweak!

422
00:26:19,458 --> 00:26:20,416
Family…

423
00:26:21,458 --> 00:26:23,000
Do you know where Chellamma is?

424
00:26:24,166 --> 00:26:25,000
Chell…

425
00:26:26,250 --> 00:26:27,416
Excuse me.

426
00:26:31,666 --> 00:26:33,416
- Shanmugam, did you see my wife?
- Sir?

427
00:26:33,500 --> 00:26:35,541
I offered to drop her
in our horse carriage.

428
00:26:35,625 --> 00:26:38,083
She said no
and walked back to the cottage.

429
00:26:40,416 --> 00:26:41,458
Bring my vehicle!

430
00:27:10,041 --> 00:27:11,000
Chellamma.

431
00:27:11,833 --> 00:27:13,375
Chellamma, what happened, dear?

432
00:27:13,708 --> 00:27:14,833
Are you unwell?

433
00:27:15,458 --> 00:27:16,500
Nothing of that sort.

434
00:27:20,750 --> 00:27:22,708
When I take you to parties like this,

435
00:27:23,500 --> 00:27:26,458
it bothers me
that I make you feel uncomfortable.

436
00:27:28,333 --> 00:27:29,833
Will you promise me something?

437
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:32,500
Only I will speak now.

438
00:27:32,583 --> 00:27:34,125
You should not interrupt me.

439
00:27:36,833 --> 00:27:37,708
Okay.

440
00:27:43,166 --> 00:27:46,458
How hard did you work to save money
to buy your dream motorcycle?

441
00:27:47,625 --> 00:27:49,583
But you gave the entire sum
without batting an eye

442
00:27:49,666 --> 00:27:51,333
to those protesters in Kalangal.

443
00:27:52,333 --> 00:27:53,875
You have a heart of gold, dear.

444
00:27:54,833 --> 00:27:57,250
It will not change.
Nor should it change.

445
00:28:01,125 --> 00:28:03,708
By manufacturing indigenous products
for the people of our land,

446
00:28:03,791 --> 00:28:07,708
your dream to end British rule
is a really big challenge.

447
00:28:10,291 --> 00:28:13,916
It will benefit our country
and our people immensely.

448
00:28:15,791 --> 00:28:17,541
In such a crucial phase in your life…

449
00:28:17,625 --> 00:28:19,166
"Will my wife be alright with this?"

450
00:28:19,250 --> 00:28:21,291
"Will she settle down happily
if we move here?"

451
00:28:21,375 --> 00:28:22,958
If you have to worry about me like this,

452
00:28:23,041 --> 00:28:26,083
I may be keeping people
from benefiting from those advantages.

453
00:28:27,166 --> 00:28:28,125
Chellamma.

454
00:28:28,666 --> 00:28:30,708
I don't want
to shoulder that blame, dear.

455
00:28:31,625 --> 00:28:34,333
I know very well
how much you love me.

456
00:28:35,583 --> 00:28:37,916
If I ask you to follow me
leaving behind your dreams,

457
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:39,916
you will agree in the blink of an eye.

458
00:28:41,041 --> 00:28:42,291
But after that,

459
00:28:43,041 --> 00:28:46,791
I'd be weeping that you couldn't serve
our nation because of my selfishness.

460
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,833
You'd be feeling sad
that you couldn't achieve your goals.

461
00:28:53,291 --> 00:28:54,916
Our life will turn sour.

462
00:28:56,625 --> 00:28:58,041
I can think of only one way.

463
00:29:00,500 --> 00:29:01,500
What is it?

464
00:29:06,416 --> 00:29:11,958
Marry a girl who will stand by your side
sharing your many dreams.

465
00:29:12,416 --> 00:29:13,958
Chellamma, have you lost your--

466
00:29:15,791 --> 00:29:17,666
Don't worry about our children.

467
00:29:19,625 --> 00:29:20,916
I'll raise them well.

468
00:29:33,166 --> 00:29:34,708
I didn't decide this overnight.

469
00:29:35,333 --> 00:29:37,541
A calm decision made
after deep deliberation.

470
00:29:39,666 --> 00:29:42,333
<i>You will eventually realize</i>
<i>that it's better this way.</i>

471
00:30:02,666 --> 00:30:03,625
Uncle.

472
00:30:03,791 --> 00:30:05,125
Are you mad or what?

473
00:30:05,208 --> 00:30:07,083
How can I marry such a young girl?

474
00:30:07,208 --> 00:30:09,875
Why does it bother you
when she has consented happily?

475
00:30:11,708 --> 00:30:13,791
How can she think
with clarity at that age?

476
00:30:14,083 --> 00:30:18,208
If you reject her now at the altar,
her family and life will be ruined.

477
00:30:18,291 --> 00:30:19,791
She may take drastic measures.

478
00:30:30,708 --> 00:30:32,500
Dorai, bend and give in right now.

479
00:30:32,583 --> 00:30:35,208
Otherwise, Ranganayaki will
make you bend to her will.

480
00:31:06,791 --> 00:31:07,708
Are you crying?

481
00:31:10,333 --> 00:31:11,291
No.

482
00:31:13,458 --> 00:31:14,625
What happened? Tell me.

483
00:31:15,916 --> 00:31:17,208
I'm bad luck for you.

484
00:31:17,375 --> 00:31:18,250
What?

485
00:31:20,333 --> 00:31:23,125
All this happened to you
only after you married me.

486
00:31:23,958 --> 00:31:26,291
Hey! What misfortune has befallen us?

487
00:31:28,083 --> 00:31:29,833
When you were with your first wife,

488
00:31:29,958 --> 00:31:31,958
you were the king of the cotton trade.

489
00:31:32,583 --> 00:31:36,333
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
00:31:39,583 --> 00:31:40,916
You crazy wife of mine!

492
00:31:41,583 --> 00:31:44,333
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
00:31:48,375 --> 00:31:50,166
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
00:31:53,083 --> 00:31:54,666
I gambled. I lost all the money.

497
00:31:54,958 --> 00:31:57,708
But did I become a drunkard and rot away?

498
00:31:58,041 --> 00:31:58,958
Come here.

499
00:32:02,500 --> 00:32:05,750
Ranganayaki, in Snakes and Ladders
when we cross 90 and keep moving,

500
00:32:05,916 --> 00:32:09,000
a huge snake will bite us suddenly
and we'll come sliding down.

501
00:32:09,083 --> 00:32:11,291
But even if we slide down
to the rock bottom,

502
00:32:11,500 --> 00:32:13,125
we'll still remain in the game.

503
00:32:13,208 --> 00:32:14,916
We don't get pushed off the board.

504
00:32:15,833 --> 00:32:16,750
Listen to me.

505
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:19,833
Won't we get another ladder to climb?

506
00:32:22,291 --> 00:32:23,625
If it doesn't come our way,

507
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:25,500
I will make it appear!

508
00:32:27,833 --> 00:32:28,875
Lovely lunatic!

509
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,208
How can you be silly enough
to cry over this?

510
00:32:49,500 --> 00:32:50,958
Naidu, Good Lord!

511
00:32:51,250 --> 00:32:52,208
Is that really you?

512
00:32:53,333 --> 00:32:54,375
Mr. Stanes.

513
00:32:55,250 --> 00:32:57,833
I heard that you're hiring a mechanic
in your garage.

514
00:32:59,500 --> 00:33:00,833
Can you give me that job?

515
00:33:02,041 --> 00:33:07,041
Look, I understand you had to swallow
your pride to come and ask me for a job.

516
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,083
It takes a lot of courage
to do that, Naidu.

517
00:33:10,166 --> 00:33:11,583
Most men couldn't do it.

518
00:33:11,916 --> 00:33:13,083
And I'm in awe.

519
00:33:15,250 --> 00:33:16,458
Mr. Stanes.

520
00:33:17,750 --> 00:33:19,291
Pride cannot pay my bills.

521
00:33:20,458 --> 00:33:22,041
True as that may be, my friend,

522
00:33:22,125 --> 00:33:24,500
I cannot take advantage of you
at this time.

523
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:27,708
So here's what we are going to do.

524
00:33:28,666 --> 00:33:30,000
Take one of my buses.

525
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:31,833
Run it.

526
00:33:32,291 --> 00:33:33,208
Start again.

527
00:33:33,916 --> 00:33:35,500
And I'm sure that in no time,

528
00:33:35,583 --> 00:33:38,375
you will turn that bus
into a whole fleet of buses.

529
00:33:39,458 --> 00:33:41,833
On that day, you can repay me.

530
00:33:50,708 --> 00:33:51,625
Thank you.

531
00:33:52,416 --> 00:33:53,333
Yes.

532
00:33:53,541 --> 00:33:54,791
Of course, my old friend.

533
00:33:54,875 --> 00:33:56,583
Now, what do you say?

534
00:33:56,916 --> 00:33:58,541
Shall we go get us a pot of tea?

535
00:33:58,708 --> 00:34:00,125
Oh! I am dying to.

536
00:34:00,541 --> 00:34:01,708
- Thank you.
- Yes.

537
00:34:02,208 --> 00:34:03,375
Your house looks the same.

538
00:34:03,458 --> 00:34:04,541
Ah, yes.

539
00:34:09,583 --> 00:34:10,541
Listen, dear.

540
00:34:10,625 --> 00:34:13,333
Your uncle said that he has
arranged for a driver.

541
00:34:13,416 --> 00:34:15,666
- Did you talk to him?
- I did… I did.

542
00:34:16,583 --> 00:34:17,875
Who did you hire?

543
00:34:20,833 --> 00:34:23,083
COIMBATORE - UDUMALAI - PALANI

544
00:34:23,875 --> 00:34:25,666
Are you planning to drive it yourself?

545
00:34:25,750 --> 00:34:26,916
Yes.

546
00:34:27,208 --> 00:34:28,208
Proprietress.

547
00:34:28,625 --> 00:34:30,416
How much will you pay this driver?

548
00:34:31,625 --> 00:34:33,875
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
00:34:40,041 --> 00:34:41,166
Doraiswamy.

551
00:34:41,250 --> 00:34:43,833
Your love-bus is on the go.
When will this bus leave?

552
00:34:45,875 --> 00:34:48,125
It will leave shortly.
First, get in.

553
00:34:48,208 --> 00:34:50,958
- Come on.
- Uncle, he's driving for the first time.

554
00:34:51,083 --> 00:34:52,458
Ask him to check the auspicious time.

555
00:34:52,541 --> 00:34:54,500
- Okay… fine.
- My proprietress princess.

556
00:34:54,583 --> 00:34:57,166
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 --> 00:35:01,041
Shall I take my leave?

559
00:35:01,125 --> 00:35:02,166
Shall we go?

560
00:35:33,541 --> 00:35:35,333
G. D. NAIDU BUS STATION

561
00:35:46,291 --> 00:35:47,708
- Good morning.
- Good morning.

562
00:35:48,041 --> 00:35:52,833
Mr. Hurtis, why did the bus
from Ooty start five minutes late?

563
00:35:52,916 --> 00:35:55,083
- The bus was only half full.
- No, it doesn't matter.

564
00:35:55,166 --> 00:35:57,833
Even if there's only one passenger,
the bus has to leave on time.

565
00:35:57,916 --> 00:36:00,708
Discipline is more important than profits.
I'm sure you understand.

566
00:36:00,791 --> 00:36:02,000
- Very good, sir.
- Are we set?

567
00:36:02,083 --> 00:36:03,041
- Yes, sir.
- Let's go.

568
00:36:03,125 --> 00:36:06,458
Respected bus owners who honored
our invitation and are here with us,

569
00:36:06,541 --> 00:36:08,791
on behalf of Mr. G. D. Naidu,

570
00:36:09,125 --> 00:36:13,208
G. D. bus service and its proud employees,

571
00:36:13,375 --> 00:36:15,375
I extend a hearty welcome to one and all.

572
00:36:15,458 --> 00:36:16,333
R. P. BUS SERVICE

573
00:36:17,291 --> 00:36:20,541
The bus service
which we run in South India

574
00:36:20,625 --> 00:36:25,375
is no less than those in China, Japan
and Russia.

575
00:36:25,458 --> 00:36:27,416
- That is not an exaggeration.
- Definitely.

576
00:36:27,500 --> 00:36:29,333
He is absolutely right.

577
00:36:30,791 --> 00:36:35,000
Only our G. D. Naidu runs a bus service
that has left the British speechless!

578
00:36:35,375 --> 00:36:36,791
Look at that advertisement.

579
00:36:36,875 --> 00:36:38,500
He is writing his own history!

580
00:36:39,166 --> 00:36:42,166
If a man gets into his bus
clad in crisp white cotton attire,

581
00:36:42,375 --> 00:36:45,541
he can be assured of alighting
without a spot of dirt or crease.

582
00:36:45,791 --> 00:36:48,083
Whether it's advertising boastfully,

583
00:36:48,166 --> 00:36:50,125
or maintaining the buses,

584
00:36:50,333 --> 00:36:51,708
no one can beat Naidu.

585
00:36:51,833 --> 00:36:54,333
Then how can we not appreciate him?

586
00:36:56,875 --> 00:36:58,500
Thank you.

587
00:36:59,166 --> 00:37:01,333
The reason we've all assembled here--

588
00:37:01,416 --> 00:37:02,458
But…

589
00:37:02,708 --> 00:37:05,291
Can we run a bus company
so efficiently like him?

590
00:37:05,708 --> 00:37:08,666
Impossible, because he owns
more than 200 buses.

591
00:37:09,166 --> 00:37:10,625
Money keeps rolling in.

592
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:15,208
We own one or two buses
and find it hard to make both ends meet.

593
00:37:16,083 --> 00:37:19,000
If we charge two <i>paise</i> for four miles,

594
00:37:19,083 --> 00:37:21,708
you take passengers at half the price
for the same distance.

595
00:37:21,791 --> 00:37:23,250
Then how do we cope?

596
00:37:23,333 --> 00:37:24,833
Sir, we can think of only one solution.

597
00:37:24,916 --> 00:37:28,166
You don't drive on our route
and we won't drive on yours.

598
00:37:29,458 --> 00:37:30,875
BUS OWNERS' CONFERENCE

599
00:37:30,958 --> 00:37:31,916
No.

600
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:38,166
You cannot dictate which routes I can
drive on, nor can I do the same to you.

601
00:37:38,458 --> 00:37:39,916
Because this is beyond business.

602
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:41,333
This is about service to the people.

603
00:37:41,416 --> 00:37:43,875
Without competition,
there will be no growth or progress.

604
00:37:43,958 --> 00:37:46,083
But that growth should not stop.

605
00:37:46,208 --> 00:37:48,375
It's growth only if it spreads
in all directions.

606
00:37:48,458 --> 00:37:50,291
Otherwise, it's called swelling.

607
00:37:54,291 --> 00:37:56,708
Sir, you have understood
the problem clearly.

608
00:37:57,375 --> 00:37:58,958
But your solution

609
00:37:59,541 --> 00:38:02,166
resembles the British's scheme
of divide and rule.

610
00:38:02,458 --> 00:38:04,541
It's called a chariot
only if the villagers join hands.

611
00:38:04,625 --> 00:38:06,125
Or else it's just carved wood.

612
00:38:08,875 --> 00:38:10,583
This town should unite in harmony.

613
00:38:13,291 --> 00:38:15,083
I have a fantastic plan.

614
00:38:15,583 --> 00:38:17,041
Lend me your ears with patience.

615
00:38:17,125 --> 00:38:23,916
Our suggestion is for all of us
to start a cooperative bus company.

616
00:38:24,750 --> 00:38:26,541
As far as this company is concerned,

617
00:38:26,791 --> 00:38:28,541
everyone here is the boss.

618
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,291
Does he think all of us are blockheads?

619
00:38:31,375 --> 00:38:34,000
You'll add your bus to our company.

620
00:38:34,375 --> 00:38:37,708
Depending on how many buses you add,

621
00:38:37,791 --> 00:38:40,291
we can share the profits accordingly.

622
00:38:41,291 --> 00:38:46,416
The name of this bus company
where we unite for profit…

623
00:38:48,291 --> 00:38:50,375
is United Motor Service.

624
00:38:50,625 --> 00:38:53,041
Our UMS, for short.

625
00:38:53,125 --> 00:38:54,708
The customers will be our bosses.

626
00:38:54,791 --> 00:38:57,416
Their comfort is our top priority.

627
00:38:57,500 --> 00:39:00,250
{\an8}<i>Only then can we survive</i>
<i>and grow in this business.</i>

628
00:39:00,333 --> 00:39:01,375
{\an8}<i>For that sole reason,</i>

629
00:39:01,458 --> 00:39:04,166
<i>we have planned</i>
<i>some special schemes for our people.</i>

630
00:39:04,416 --> 00:39:08,083
<i>Separate, clean toilets</i>
<i>for men and women.</i>

631
00:39:08,333 --> 00:39:12,583
<i>A rest area for travelers</i>
<i>and a canteen functioning for 14 hours.</i>

632
00:39:12,708 --> 00:39:15,166
<i>If a passenger wants to go</i>
<i>to Nagercoil from Coimbatore,</i>

633
00:39:15,250 --> 00:39:18,875
<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
00:39:21,083 --> 00:39:25,583
<i>he can continue his journey</i>
<i>on any other UMS bus.</i>

636
00:39:26,958 --> 00:39:28,666
MADURAI - TIRUNELVELI - NAGERCOIL -
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM - TRICHY - THANJAVUR

637
00:39:28,750 --> 00:39:31,083
Spare parts expenses,
profit and loss statements

638
00:39:31,208 --> 00:39:34,375
will be transparent and updated properly.

639
00:39:34,541 --> 00:39:36,291
Anyone can check anytime they want.

640
00:39:37,958 --> 00:39:39,833
Your idea seems very good on paper.

641
00:39:40,541 --> 00:39:43,500
Let's say after we attach
all our buses with UMS,

642
00:39:43,666 --> 00:39:45,416
if any repairs are needed,

643
00:39:45,583 --> 00:39:48,208
should we take care of the expenses?

644
00:39:48,625 --> 00:39:50,166
Or will the company cover them?

645
00:39:50,791 --> 00:39:53,041
Very good question.
That's very pertinent.

646
00:39:53,166 --> 00:40:00,125
Mr. Naidu plans to open a garage
that runs 24/7 at his own expense.

647
00:40:00,208 --> 00:40:02,458
Since we are manufacturing
our own spare parts,

648
00:40:02,541 --> 00:40:05,166
the service costs, breakdown costs,
expenditure on repairs…

649
00:40:05,250 --> 00:40:07,125
You don't have to worry
about any of these expenses.

650
00:40:07,208 --> 00:40:08,500
UMS will take care of it.

651
00:40:09,250 --> 00:40:13,208
But have you ever wondered
why our buses break down frequently?

652
00:40:15,083 --> 00:40:20,083
Because we drive our buses
on unpaved roads with great difficulty.

653
00:40:21,291 --> 00:40:24,166
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
00:40:28,541 --> 00:40:29,583
Does it stop there?

656
00:40:30,166 --> 00:40:32,875
Customs duty, income tax, property tax…

657
00:40:33,958 --> 00:40:35,958
Taxes on the salt
we harvest from our sea…

658
00:40:36,041 --> 00:40:37,166
And not just on salt.

659
00:40:37,625 --> 00:40:39,208
If we let this continue,

660
00:40:39,375 --> 00:40:42,083
they'll even tax the loincloth we wear!

661
00:40:42,250 --> 00:40:43,875
Scoundrels!

662
00:40:44,958 --> 00:40:46,000
You are right.

663
00:40:48,833 --> 00:40:54,125
But can a single person challenge
all these atrocities by the British?

664
00:40:56,125 --> 00:40:56,958
Not at all.

665
00:41:02,541 --> 00:41:04,583
But if we stand together as a federation,

666
00:41:06,375 --> 00:41:09,916
we can grab them by the collar
and boldly demand answers.

667
00:41:11,666 --> 00:41:15,125
We can refuse to pay taxes
if proper roads aren't built.

668
00:41:18,125 --> 00:41:21,875
This is how we can change our destiny.

669
00:41:25,333 --> 00:41:26,375
Now tell me.

670
00:41:27,541 --> 00:41:31,250
As a cooperative,
shall we start this company?

671
00:41:33,541 --> 00:41:35,291
United Motor Service.

672
00:41:36,375 --> 00:41:37,458
Shall we start?

673
00:42:09,333 --> 00:42:10,458
Sir, congratulations.

674
00:42:40,958 --> 00:42:43,291
R.P. BUS SERVICE

675
00:42:59,125 --> 00:43:00,291
- Sundaram.
- Sir?

676
00:43:00,666 --> 00:43:03,083
Did Ramaiah Pillai add his buses
to the company?

677
00:43:03,541 --> 00:43:04,583
Not yet.

678
00:43:06,541 --> 00:43:09,041
- Why?
- He had an emergency.

679
00:43:09,250 --> 00:43:11,833
The poor guy had to sell
the only bus he owned.

680
00:43:12,125 --> 00:43:13,541
But it was well maintained.

681
00:43:13,833 --> 00:43:16,125
That's why we bought it
at the price he quoted.

682
00:43:17,541 --> 00:43:19,500
- He sold his bus?
- Yes, sir.

683
00:43:22,583 --> 00:43:23,666
Ask him to come upstairs.

684
00:43:27,375 --> 00:43:28,375
Greetings, Naidu.

685
00:43:28,583 --> 00:43:30,458
I do not intend to change my mind.

686
00:43:30,833 --> 00:43:32,958
The bus I sold you remains sold.

687
00:43:33,166 --> 00:43:35,958
I plan to use that money
for my daughter's wedding.

688
00:43:36,166 --> 00:43:38,416
- I'll take your leave.
- Sir… Sir, please come.

689
00:43:39,125 --> 00:43:39,958
Come here.

690
00:43:43,291 --> 00:43:45,541
Get your daughter married happily.

691
00:43:46,375 --> 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
00:43:54,416 --> 00:43:56,041
You sold the only bus you owned.

694
00:43:56,666 --> 00:43:58,166
What will you do for a living?

695
00:44:01,708 --> 00:44:02,625
Sir.

696
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,875
He called you up here
to discuss a job with you.

697
00:44:06,500 --> 00:44:07,958
What work can you do?

698
00:44:08,416 --> 00:44:09,958
Tell us your educational qualifications.

699
00:44:10,041 --> 00:44:11,125
Educ--

700
00:44:11,375 --> 00:44:12,375
Education?

701
00:44:12,708 --> 00:44:14,125
Are you trying to be funny?

702
00:44:14,750 --> 00:44:16,875
I didn't even finish elementary school.

703
00:44:17,250 --> 00:44:18,375
But…

704
00:44:18,458 --> 00:44:22,791
My bus has taught me many things
that a school couldn't.

705
00:44:28,291 --> 00:44:30,166
- Are you skeptical?
- I didn't mean it that way.

706
00:44:30,250 --> 00:44:31,958
I know you still have doubts.

707
00:44:32,041 --> 00:44:33,666
Send for your drivers now.

708
00:44:34,083 --> 00:44:35,583
Just summon them.

709
00:44:59,791 --> 00:45:02,208
In this bus, there is
no oil in the spring leaf.

710
00:45:02,708 --> 00:45:04,791
That's the reason for the groaning sound.

711
00:45:05,375 --> 00:45:06,750
There is no other problem.

712
00:45:25,875 --> 00:45:28,250
The second cylinder's spark plug is bad.

713
00:45:28,541 --> 00:45:29,916
That's why it is screaming.

714
00:45:44,541 --> 00:45:47,250
R. P. BUS SERVICE

715
00:45:55,375 --> 00:45:57,333
There won't be any problem in this bus.

716
00:45:57,750 --> 00:45:58,875
Because it is mine.

717
00:45:59,416 --> 00:46:00,958
R.P. Bus Service.

718
00:46:02,375 --> 00:46:05,416
But now this bus… belongs to you.

719
00:46:26,625 --> 00:46:27,541
Our bus.

720
00:46:28,958 --> 00:46:30,291
Listen, Ramaiah Pillai.

721
00:46:30,791 --> 00:46:32,250
Let me ask you face to face.

722
00:46:33,041 --> 00:46:36,208
This organization needs
a well-qualified foreman.

723
00:46:38,208 --> 00:46:41,041
I'll be extremely happy
if you accept this responsibility.

724
00:46:44,791 --> 00:46:47,041
Sir, please don't turn me down.

725
00:46:49,875 --> 00:46:51,041
How can I--

726
00:46:54,791 --> 00:46:55,708
Come on!

727
00:47:18,708 --> 00:47:20,583
KOVAI - UDUMALAI - PALANI

728
00:47:31,833 --> 00:47:33,541
Long live, Father Periyar!

729
00:47:33,625 --> 00:47:35,291
Long live, Father Periyar!

730
00:48:27,458 --> 00:48:29,625
Mr. Smith, meet Mr. Bhupendra.

731
00:48:30,416 --> 00:48:33,666
Bhupendra is a leading figure
in north India's steel industry.

732
00:48:33,833 --> 00:48:35,541
And a prominent business tycoon.

733
00:48:35,625 --> 00:48:36,791
Glad to meet you, Mr. Smith.

734
00:48:36,875 --> 00:48:38,333
Glad to meet you, Mr. Bhupendra.

735
00:48:38,416 --> 00:48:40,541
The game is about to begin.
I'll see you at Divot Stomp.

736
00:48:40,625 --> 00:48:42,250
- Right you are.
- Right you are.

737
00:48:43,625 --> 00:48:45,541
Adams, can I have a word with you?

738
00:48:45,625 --> 00:48:46,625
Certainly.

739
00:48:47,833 --> 00:48:49,291
What "big tycoon"?

740
00:48:50,250 --> 00:48:51,375
You gave me your word.

741
00:48:51,458 --> 00:48:52,666
A foothold in the south.

742
00:48:53,166 --> 00:48:56,083
And on your request, I brought
Naidu down with that cotton gamble.

743
00:48:56,166 --> 00:48:58,541
And yet here we are, years on.

744
00:48:59,541 --> 00:49:01,333
And he's still ahead.

745
00:49:01,666 --> 00:49:03,041
Now you let this happen.

746
00:49:03,750 --> 00:49:06,166
And I am not going to be
the one paying the price.

747
00:49:06,416 --> 00:49:08,875
Believe me, Bhupendra, I tried.

748
00:49:09,833 --> 00:49:11,291
But his books are clean.

749
00:49:13,208 --> 00:49:15,041
And he is working within the system.

750
00:49:17,375 --> 00:49:19,500
What do you mean by the system, Adams?

751
00:49:20,166 --> 00:49:21,416
You are the system.

752
00:49:22,375 --> 00:49:24,291
Nothing is going to stand in your way.

753
00:49:24,416 --> 00:49:27,833
Do you think laws can't be bent
if his books are clean?

754
00:49:28,666 --> 00:49:29,541
Soil them.

755
00:49:30,500 --> 00:49:32,625
Ravi! Bring my horse!

756
00:49:38,416 --> 00:49:40,083
TAX PAYERS

757
00:50:02,416 --> 00:50:06,500
TAX EVADERS

758
00:50:07,583 --> 00:50:10,916
<i>Sir, I have changed G. D. Naidu's records</i>
<i>as you instructed.</i>

759
00:50:11,208 --> 00:50:12,125
Mr. Palanisamy.

760
00:50:13,583 --> 00:50:15,958
{\an8}Naidu has stockpiled
tons and tons of steel.

761
00:50:16,500 --> 00:50:19,125
Sir, he has paid the sales tax
for all that.

762
00:50:19,208 --> 00:50:22,500
Mr. Collector, he melted
raw materials and made spare parts.

763
00:50:23,416 --> 00:50:24,916
Shouldn't he pay tax for that?

764
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:26,041
For example,

765
00:50:26,125 --> 00:50:28,375
Naidu has paid tax only for the paddy.

766
00:50:28,541 --> 00:50:31,375
When the grain was harvested
and it was cooked as rice,

767
00:50:31,458 --> 00:50:32,541
no tax was paid.

768
00:50:32,625 --> 00:50:34,958
When the name and usage
of a product change,

769
00:50:35,083 --> 00:50:36,708
he has to pay manufacturing tax.

770
00:50:36,791 --> 00:50:37,833
Sir.

771
00:50:37,916 --> 00:50:40,666
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
00:50:43,958 --> 00:50:48,458
Sir, G. D. Naidu is manufacturing
spare parts only for his personal use.

774
00:50:48,958 --> 00:50:50,625
He is not doing business with all this.

775
00:50:50,916 --> 00:50:52,083
{\an8}Can you prove it?

776
00:50:54,541 --> 00:50:55,416
Sir…

777
00:50:56,833 --> 00:50:59,875
{\an8}These clever businessmen will
have multiple books of accounts.

778
00:51:00,791 --> 00:51:04,500
{\an8}Actual accounts will be different
from what they show us.

779
00:51:05,208 --> 00:51:06,083
Do you get it?

780
00:51:08,583 --> 00:51:10,208
Do you want to say anything?

781
00:51:10,916 --> 00:51:11,791
No, sir.

782
00:51:12,666 --> 00:51:13,708
Thank you, sir.

783
00:51:15,875 --> 00:51:17,000
Imbecile!

784
00:51:23,583 --> 00:51:24,958
Yeah, very good.

785
00:51:26,125 --> 00:51:27,000
Sir.

786
00:51:27,291 --> 00:51:28,125
Tell me, Killi.

787
00:51:28,958 --> 00:51:32,958
I know one man who is ready to enforce
all your orders without any fear.

788
00:51:33,416 --> 00:51:34,666
Salem Income Tax Officer.

789
00:51:34,958 --> 00:51:37,041
His name is Ambalapara Krishnan.

790
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:41,375
I know this Krishnan.

791
00:51:42,750 --> 00:51:46,041
Do you call him by some nickname?

792
00:51:46,291 --> 00:51:47,250
Yes, sir.

793
00:51:48,583 --> 00:51:49,750
Lion of Salem!

794
00:51:49,875 --> 00:51:51,125
Get lost!

795
00:51:51,583 --> 00:51:52,625
Hey…

796
00:51:54,916 --> 00:51:57,041
I'll get even with you!

797
00:51:57,458 --> 00:51:59,833
Let's bring that lion to Coimbatore.

798
00:52:30,583 --> 00:52:32,000
G. D. NAIDU

799
00:52:32,833 --> 00:52:35,375
Sir, you've added Mr. G. D. Naidu
in the tax evaders list.

800
00:52:35,458 --> 00:52:36,416
Mohan.

801
00:52:36,500 --> 00:52:37,500
What is ALP?

802
00:52:37,916 --> 00:52:40,291
- Arms-length principle, sir.
- What does it mean?

803
00:52:40,625 --> 00:52:44,583
It's wrong to sell a product at a lower
price to friends and family, sir.

804
00:52:44,666 --> 00:52:45,666
Why?

805
00:52:45,791 --> 00:52:49,083
If they show less income,
they can pay less tax, sir.

806
00:52:49,166 --> 00:52:51,583
Naidu has chosen exactly
that fraudulent route!

807
00:52:51,666 --> 00:52:52,666
For farmers' welfare--

808
00:52:52,750 --> 00:52:55,458
What do the records say?
It's a clear case.

809
00:52:55,625 --> 00:52:58,166
Clear evidence of underinvoicing!

810
00:52:58,291 --> 00:52:59,583
- Am I right?
- Yes, sir.

811
00:52:59,708 --> 00:53:01,583
He hasn't paid manufacturing tax.

812
00:53:01,666 --> 00:53:03,833
He has cheated on import duty.

813
00:53:04,375 --> 00:53:06,583
Follow the paper, Mohan.

814
00:53:06,666 --> 00:53:07,500
Okay, sir.

815
00:53:07,583 --> 00:53:13,250
Who is he to decide which taxes
he will pay and which taxes he won't?

816
00:53:13,791 --> 00:53:14,875
Is he the government?

817
00:53:16,375 --> 00:53:17,916
He's just a trader.

818
00:53:19,375 --> 00:53:21,375
Who was here
before I took up this position?

819
00:53:21,458 --> 00:53:22,666
Palanisamy, sir.

820
00:53:22,750 --> 00:53:24,041
Why?

821
00:53:24,125 --> 00:53:26,083
He won't take any action against Naidu?

822
00:53:26,666 --> 00:53:27,958
Is he related to Naidu?

823
00:53:28,041 --> 00:53:29,833
No, sir, he has high regard for--

824
00:53:29,916 --> 00:53:32,750
What bloody re-- Respect.

825
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:35,291
He's making millions via UMS.

826
00:53:35,708 --> 00:53:38,041
He has started many
polytechnic engineering colleges

827
00:53:38,125 --> 00:53:40,083
and is charging huge fees.

828
00:53:41,125 --> 00:53:43,791
Any industry he starts
is only making profits.

829
00:53:44,458 --> 00:53:48,208
But paying the tax promptly leaves
a bitter taste in his mouth, does it?

830
00:53:49,083 --> 00:53:50,208
- Perunkilli.
- Yes, sir.

831
00:53:50,291 --> 00:53:52,916
Get the papers ready
to seize his imports and exports.

832
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:53,875
Okay, sir.

833
00:53:53,958 --> 00:53:55,208
- Sir, but he is--
- Mohan!

834
00:53:55,375 --> 00:53:56,458
It's an order.

835
00:53:56,541 --> 00:53:57,958
- Go.
- Okay, sir.

836
00:54:13,125 --> 00:54:15,166
Pillai, not a single machine
will be delivered.

837
00:54:15,250 --> 00:54:16,083
Why so?

838
00:54:16,458 --> 00:54:19,375
An Income Tax Officer has come from Salem,
a real pain in the neck!

839
00:54:19,458 --> 00:54:22,208
He has seized all our shipments
at the harbor.

840
00:54:22,583 --> 00:54:26,333
Not only have they imposed ridiculous
taxes on our various inventions,

841
00:54:26,500 --> 00:54:28,583
they have also piled on false penalties.

842
00:54:29,500 --> 00:54:33,416
Those corrupt bandits
are cooking up ideas to take bribes…

843
00:54:33,666 --> 00:54:35,291
We've never encouraged that.

844
00:54:35,750 --> 00:54:38,958
They can't take even one <i>anna</i> as a bribe
from our company.

845
00:54:39,583 --> 00:54:44,833
Naidu is well aware
of how to treat these buggers.

846
00:54:50,041 --> 00:54:52,833
Arrange a village council meeting
tomorrow evening.

847
00:54:52,916 --> 00:54:53,958
Okay, sir.

848
00:55:04,541 --> 00:55:07,666
Passengers to Government Hospital,
Pappampatti Junction, Sulur, get in.

849
00:55:07,750 --> 00:55:08,916
Get in, sir.

850
00:55:09,208 --> 00:55:10,166
Get lost!

851
00:55:10,541 --> 00:55:12,666
Why are you being so rude?

852
00:55:12,916 --> 00:55:15,250
- Has everyone got down? Start the bus.
- Go away!

853
00:55:33,958 --> 00:55:35,041
Why are you walking in this rain?

854
00:55:35,125 --> 00:55:37,000
Can't you see?
The bicycle is broken.

855
00:55:37,083 --> 00:55:39,041
- You could've taken the bus.
- Can't do that.

856
00:55:39,125 --> 00:55:41,083
All the buses are owned by UMS.

857
00:55:41,166 --> 00:55:43,833
I won't contribute even a penny
to that tax evader.

858
00:55:43,916 --> 00:55:45,666
I don't like your attitude one bit.

859
00:55:46,125 --> 00:55:48,333
If you don't favor the idea,
you shouldn't go.

860
00:55:48,416 --> 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 --> 00:55:54,166
will anyone keep quiet?

862
00:55:55,375 --> 00:55:56,708
What's wrong with what I said?

863
00:55:56,791 --> 00:55:58,916
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
00:56:01,583 --> 00:56:03,416
Let us talk a bit practically, Naidu.

866
00:56:06,666 --> 00:56:08,583
I am talking about "practical" too.

867
00:56:09,375 --> 00:56:12,291
What can be taught in four days
with the help of a machine,

868
00:56:12,458 --> 00:56:16,000
your curriculum is like a rubber band
stretched with four years of theory.

869
00:56:16,083 --> 00:56:18,291
Before he passes his exam,
even the technology will change.

870
00:56:18,375 --> 00:56:19,833
You have reduced the polytechnic course

871
00:56:19,916 --> 00:56:21,416
in your college to two years.

872
00:56:21,541 --> 00:56:23,041
Then why this misplaced anger?

873
00:56:23,625 --> 00:56:26,375
Doraiswamy, you tend
to think ahead of your time.

874
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:28,375
Society will move at its own slow pace.

875
00:56:28,458 --> 00:56:32,041
Like Arthur Hope College,
open more such polytechnic colleges.

876
00:56:32,500 --> 00:56:34,291
Open colleges for women.

877
00:56:34,458 --> 00:56:37,333
Make students of all castes
sit together as equals without bias.

878
00:56:37,416 --> 00:56:40,500
You should be the one to bring about
the change you believe in.

879
00:56:40,916 --> 00:56:43,958
And toss that darn cigarette.
Put an end to this nasty habit.

880
00:57:02,208 --> 00:57:03,416
Why are the cops here?

881
00:57:03,666 --> 00:57:05,833
Hey! Did you take
all the items I mentioned?

882
00:57:06,333 --> 00:57:08,500
- Why is this here? Remove it, quick.
- Okay, sir.

883
00:57:08,583 --> 00:57:10,625
Hey! Why is a car parked there?

884
00:57:10,708 --> 00:57:12,125
- Sir, should that car be removed?
- Yes.

885
00:57:12,208 --> 00:57:13,916
2802, remove that blue car.

886
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:15,166
Mohan, are you done?

887
00:57:15,375 --> 00:57:17,291
- They're numbering it, Killi.
- Quick, clear it.

888
00:57:17,375 --> 00:57:18,875
Bring all the items here.

889
00:57:19,541 --> 00:57:21,333
- What is happening, sir?
- I tried to stop them.

890
00:57:21,416 --> 00:57:23,500
But they ignored me and started
taking everything out.

891
00:57:23,583 --> 00:57:24,708
Oh, no.

892
00:57:26,250 --> 00:57:27,833
They are taking away everything.

893
00:57:29,500 --> 00:57:30,458
What are you doing?

894
00:57:30,583 --> 00:57:31,958
It was bought for children's education!

895
00:57:32,041 --> 00:57:33,375
- Why are you taking this?
- Hey!

896
00:57:33,458 --> 00:57:35,083
Hey, wait.

897
00:57:40,458 --> 00:57:42,500
If you don't pay your taxes properly,

898
00:57:42,666 --> 00:57:44,708
this is how we will take your stuff away.

899
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:50,041
Sir, they plan to auction off everything
they seized from your house and college.

900
00:57:50,583 --> 00:57:51,458
Naidu.

901
00:57:52,166 --> 00:57:53,208
Shall I look into it?

902
00:57:54,416 --> 00:57:55,666
Don't get involved, Giri.

903
00:57:56,708 --> 00:58:00,666
People will shamelessly claim that
I befriended you for selfish gains.

904
00:58:01,458 --> 00:58:04,250
No one should taint our friendship
because of this issue.

905
00:58:04,958 --> 00:58:06,208
I can handle this myself.

906
00:58:06,916 --> 00:58:08,583
<i>Ladies and gentlemen.</i>

907
00:58:08,666 --> 00:58:12,208
<i>A once-in-a-lifetime chance</i>
<i>to witness such an auction.</i>

908
00:58:12,458 --> 00:58:16,333
<i>Whoever wins this auction</i>
<i>is the luckiest man on earth.</i>

909
00:58:16,666 --> 00:58:18,208
<i>This is not an ordinary auction.</i>

910
00:58:18,291 --> 00:58:19,416
<i>A very lucky collection.</i>

911
00:58:19,500 --> 00:58:20,500
<i>Look over there.</i>

912
00:58:20,875 --> 00:58:22,750
<i>Rows of fancy cars shining bright.</i>

913
00:58:23,083 --> 00:58:25,875
<i>Exquisitely crafted gold ornaments.</i>

914
00:58:26,333 --> 00:58:27,916
<i>Eye-catching sparkling diamonds.</i>

915
00:58:28,208 --> 00:58:31,166
<i>Imported state-of-the-art machinery.</i>

916
00:58:31,625 --> 00:58:34,375
<i>Machines that cannot be found</i>
<i>anywhere in India.</i>

917
00:58:34,875 --> 00:58:38,041
<i>Once-in-a-generation opportunity.</i>

918
00:58:38,250 --> 00:58:40,625
<i>By bidding and paying the winning price,</i>

919
00:58:40,708 --> 00:58:45,500
<i>who will be fortunate enough</i>
<i>to live like royalty?</i>

920
00:58:46,041 --> 00:58:48,166
Ladies, persuade your husbands.

921
00:58:48,541 --> 00:58:50,833
It's a once in a lifetime opportunity.

922
00:58:51,208 --> 00:58:54,625
Its total value will be
well over several million rupees.

923
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:57,583
But the opening bid…

924
00:58:57,791 --> 00:58:59,291
Is only one rupee!

925
00:59:03,458 --> 00:59:06,000
Sir, why are you offering items
worth millions for just one rupee?

926
00:59:06,083 --> 00:59:08,833
Don't we have to collect
the tax Naidu owes the government?

927
00:59:08,916 --> 00:59:11,875
Rajangam, if someone
bids for more than 100,000 rupees

928
00:59:12,041 --> 00:59:13,708
Naidu need not even pay the penalty.

929
00:59:13,791 --> 00:59:15,791
But if everyone bids for one rupee,

930
00:59:15,875 --> 00:59:18,000
the balance has to be paid by Naidu.

931
00:59:18,333 --> 00:59:20,333
Why are you humiliating him
like this, sir?

932
00:59:20,416 --> 00:59:21,666
It's the collector's order.

933
00:59:21,750 --> 00:59:25,083
The highest bidder doesn't take home
just this rare collection of riches.

934
00:59:25,166 --> 00:59:27,625
You will be taking Mahalakshmi,
the Goddess of wealth, to your house.

935
00:59:27,708 --> 00:59:29,500
The first man has stood up.

936
00:59:29,583 --> 00:59:30,833
Sir, open the bidding.

937
00:59:31,250 --> 00:59:32,416
I'm going to pee, sir.

938
00:59:36,166 --> 00:59:41,083
<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 --> 00:59:44,625
<i>The time when luck will bless you</i>
<i>is just around the corner.</i>

940
00:59:44,750 --> 00:59:46,625
<i>Do not have second thoughts.</i>

941
00:59:53,500 --> 00:59:54,541
Mohan.

942
00:59:55,375 --> 00:59:57,083
We've been sitting here for three hours.

943
00:59:57,166 --> 00:59:59,000
Not a single person has placed a bid.

944
00:59:59,541 --> 01:00:00,375
What?

945
01:00:00,791 --> 01:00:03,708
Strange, no one here wants to bid?

946
01:00:06,708 --> 01:00:09,083
Somehow this doesn't seem right to me.

947
01:00:20,291 --> 01:00:21,125
Sir.

948
01:00:22,375 --> 01:00:25,083
Not only are they insulting us
by auctioning our possessions,

949
01:00:25,166 --> 01:00:27,500
but they are selling
all the items for just one rupee.

950
01:00:27,583 --> 01:00:28,625
But look, sir.

951
01:00:28,916 --> 01:00:30,958
Not a single person
raised their hand to bid, sir.

952
01:00:31,041 --> 01:00:32,750
<i>This is your final chance.</i>

953
01:00:58,375 --> 01:01:00,041
One rupee and three-quarter <i>anna</i>.

954
01:01:02,208 --> 01:01:04,666
I am bidding
for one rupee and three-quarter <i>anna</i>.

955
01:01:07,083 --> 01:01:09,875
Sir, owners cannot bid
for their own belongings.

956
01:01:10,208 --> 01:01:11,375
Don't you know the law?

957
01:01:11,458 --> 01:01:15,125
The bidder's name is Ramaiah Pillai.

958
01:01:19,291 --> 01:01:20,208
Yes, sir.

959
01:01:22,916 --> 01:01:24,583
One rupee and three-quarter <i>anna</i>.

960
01:01:26,125 --> 01:01:28,125
His bid is
one rupee and three-quarter <i>anna</i>.

961
01:01:28,208 --> 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
01:01:32,375 --> 01:01:33,875
No one here will bid in this auction.

964
01:01:33,958 --> 01:01:36,291
What your government
could not do for 20 years,

965
01:01:36,375 --> 01:01:38,625
our Naidu has helped us tenfold!

966
01:01:38,708 --> 01:01:39,666
She is right.

967
01:01:39,750 --> 01:01:41,208
Cheap guys disgracing him!

968
01:01:48,791 --> 01:01:50,958
One rupee and three-quarter <i>anna</i>.
Going once.

969
01:01:51,083 --> 01:01:52,083
Going twice.

970
01:01:52,666 --> 01:01:53,708
Going thrice.

971
01:01:58,833 --> 01:02:00,250
I have two rupees.

972
01:02:00,833 --> 01:02:04,166
Please return the balance without fail.

973
01:02:26,625 --> 01:02:28,250
Long live, Mr. Naidu!

974
01:02:28,333 --> 01:02:30,791
Long live, Mr. Naidu!

975
01:02:34,458 --> 01:02:37,458
Long live, Mr. Naidu!

976
01:02:38,041 --> 01:02:40,458
Unbelievable respect
for a tax-dodging fraudster!

977
01:02:40,625 --> 01:02:44,125
These days, people can't tell
a gentleman from a con artist.

978
01:02:44,458 --> 01:02:47,583
All those who do business like this
swim in the same murky pond.

979
01:02:47,666 --> 01:02:49,791
Just to avoid paying tax,

980
01:02:49,875 --> 01:02:54,166
they give away some money
to the poor in the name of goodwill

981
01:02:54,250 --> 01:02:57,208
and hide their true and ill intentions.

982
01:02:57,625 --> 01:02:59,166
"Beloved people of this land!"

983
01:02:59,250 --> 01:03:03,166
"This Naidu has not paid tax in millions
for many years."

984
01:03:03,500 --> 01:03:06,666
If we announce it like that,
you think they will believe us?

985
01:03:07,166 --> 01:03:11,375
Because people do not have
a good opinion of our own department.

986
01:03:13,625 --> 01:03:17,916
The fact that Naidu is a tax dodger
should come from the press.

987
01:03:18,541 --> 01:03:20,208
People should read that news.

988
01:03:20,583 --> 01:03:24,125
People should gradually
lose their respect for him.

989
01:03:24,875 --> 01:03:26,083
- Mohan.
- Sir?

990
01:03:26,750 --> 01:03:30,958
Find a journalist today who is honest

991
01:03:31,166 --> 01:03:32,583
and ask him to start writing

992
01:03:32,666 --> 01:03:36,166
the truth behind Mr. G. D. Naidu
as a tax dodger.

993
01:03:36,250 --> 01:03:37,291
Okay, sir.

994
01:04:12,875 --> 01:04:13,791
Achudhan.

995
01:04:15,625 --> 01:04:16,625
Achudhan?

996
01:04:25,750 --> 01:04:27,291
- Mohan?
- Sir.

997
01:04:27,958 --> 01:04:29,750
Why did Achudhan come to our office?

998
01:04:29,916 --> 01:04:31,791
He collected the documents of Mr. Bond

999
01:04:31,875 --> 01:04:34,041
who has paid income tax
for the past three years.

1000
01:04:34,125 --> 01:04:36,666
Hey! Will you hand over whatever
to anyone asks you for?

1001
01:04:36,750 --> 01:04:39,333
I didn't know, sir.
He showed Bond's ID as per protocol.

1002
01:04:39,416 --> 01:04:40,958
- So I gave it, sir.
- That is fine.

1003
01:04:41,041 --> 01:04:45,041
I want to know why Naidu's men
are asking for Bond's documents.

1004
01:04:45,125 --> 01:04:46,208
Sir?

1005
01:04:46,333 --> 01:04:48,333
A man with a dog is here
creating such a ruckus.

1006
01:04:48,416 --> 01:04:50,750
I said dogs are not allowed inside,
but he refuses to listen, sir.

1007
01:04:50,833 --> 01:04:52,333
Pillai, take the dog out.

1008
01:04:52,416 --> 01:04:54,375
The collector is in a meeting.
He'll be mad if he finds out.

1009
01:04:54,458 --> 01:04:55,583
Let the collector come out.

1010
01:04:55,666 --> 01:04:57,166
Sir, shall we?

1011
01:04:57,666 --> 01:04:58,791
No, I'll take care.

1012
01:05:05,041 --> 01:05:06,375
The collector is here.

1013
01:05:06,541 --> 01:05:07,875
Greetings, sir.

1014
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:09,750
We are meeting frequently nowadays.

1015
01:05:09,875 --> 01:05:13,916
Did someone from your office
collect Mr. Bond's income tax documents?

1016
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:15,208
Yes, we did.

1017
01:05:15,291 --> 01:05:16,833
Mr. Bond is a minor.

1018
01:05:16,958 --> 01:05:18,083
I am the guardian.

1019
01:05:18,208 --> 01:05:20,750
He has been paying income tax
promptly for the past three years.

1020
01:05:20,833 --> 01:05:22,583
You must have checked the documents.

1021
01:05:22,666 --> 01:05:24,291
If he is a diligent taxpayer,

1022
01:05:24,583 --> 01:05:26,791
why didn't he come and meet me directly
in my office?

1023
01:05:26,875 --> 01:05:28,500
Why send people like you here?

1024
01:05:28,791 --> 01:05:30,833
Exactly, that's my opinion too.

1025
01:05:30,916 --> 01:05:33,208
But they refused
to allow dogs in the office.

1026
01:05:33,541 --> 01:05:37,500
I want to know, is this the respect
you show to perfectly prompt taxpayers?

1027
01:05:44,916 --> 01:05:46,500
What are you trying to say, man?

1028
01:05:47,750 --> 01:05:49,583
This is Mr. Bond!

1029
01:05:53,166 --> 01:05:56,125
Bond, this is a British loyalist.

1030
01:05:56,500 --> 01:05:59,458
An integrity-conscious income tax officer.

1031
01:05:59,583 --> 01:06:03,333
His name is Mr. Ambalapara Krishnan.

1032
01:06:03,791 --> 01:06:06,750
He follows what's on paper to the T.

1033
01:06:07,083 --> 01:06:08,250
Greet him.

1034
01:06:09,541 --> 01:06:10,625
Oh, no! Bond.

1035
01:06:10,875 --> 01:06:12,375
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
01:06:15,083 --> 01:06:18,875
But the department is unaware
if the taxpayer is human or an animal.

1038
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:21,708
They have this one-track mind
to snatch the tax.

1039
01:06:22,083 --> 01:06:25,000
If you ask, they will justify
it is their rules and protocols on paper.

1040
01:06:25,083 --> 01:06:26,458
What the hell can we do, sir?

1041
01:06:26,541 --> 01:06:27,625
Ramaiah Pillai.

1042
01:06:27,916 --> 01:06:29,583
This is a government office.

1043
01:06:29,833 --> 01:06:32,416
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
01:06:35,833 --> 01:06:39,666
Mr. Naidu started questioning you
only after you began levying unjust taxes.

1046
01:06:39,916 --> 01:06:42,000
Till then, he was a prompt tax payer.

1047
01:06:42,291 --> 01:06:45,416
When he started questioning you,
you piled a penalty on him.

1048
01:06:45,666 --> 01:06:47,791
Then heaped more penalties unjustly.

1049
01:06:47,875 --> 01:06:49,791
Naidu understood that
you had begun to loot.

1050
01:06:49,875 --> 01:06:54,291
That's why he began serving
the nation and its people directly.

1051
01:06:54,375 --> 01:06:56,541
File as many cases as you want
against him.

1052
01:06:56,625 --> 01:06:59,708
Bring in your men to confiscate his assets
as many times as you want.

1053
01:06:59,791 --> 01:07:05,125
But you can't touch Naidu's pet dog,
let alone Naidu himself.

1054
01:07:05,791 --> 01:07:07,041
- Perunkilli.
- Sir?

1055
01:07:07,416 --> 01:07:09,708
If this man utters one more word,

1056
01:07:10,041 --> 01:07:11,333
- call the police.
- Yes, sir.

1057
01:07:11,416 --> 01:07:12,500
Oh, no!

1058
01:07:13,916 --> 01:07:15,791
I won't utter another word, sir.

1059
01:07:16,041 --> 01:07:18,333
But, I will write.

1060
01:07:18,666 --> 01:07:22,666
In whichever paper you intend
to defame Mr. Naidu's reputation,

1061
01:07:22,916 --> 01:07:25,583
in that same newspaper
and the same page…

1062
01:07:25,666 --> 01:07:31,458
"Income tax officials who claim
that Mr. G. D. Naidu is a tax dodger

1063
01:07:31,541 --> 01:07:36,083
are not the least bit concerned about
a dog paying tax for three years.''

1064
01:07:36,250 --> 01:07:39,125
''They have been pocketing
that money happily."

1065
01:07:39,958 --> 01:07:41,125
That's all I will write.

1066
01:07:41,458 --> 01:07:43,416
Let the general public read both the news.

1067
01:07:43,500 --> 01:07:47,041
Then let us see whether
their respect for Naidu increases

1068
01:07:47,375 --> 01:07:53,208
or whatever shred of respect
they have for you vanishes.

1069
01:07:57,000 --> 01:07:59,333
Are you trying to tarnish my integrity?

1070
01:07:59,458 --> 01:08:01,458
Oh! Integrity?

1071
01:08:02,666 --> 01:08:05,666
Your Naidu has to answer to this.

1072
01:08:07,083 --> 01:08:11,833
I will make him apologize to me
for all his wrongdoings.

1073
01:08:11,916 --> 01:08:14,000
I will ensure he pays the tax he dodged.

1074
01:08:14,833 --> 01:08:16,916
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
01:08:23,583 --> 01:08:25,083
Mark my words.

1078
01:08:25,250 --> 01:08:30,500
From today, your Naidu
will not get to sleep peacefully.

1079
01:08:45,625 --> 01:08:46,958
Well done, dear Bond.

1080
01:08:57,416 --> 01:08:59,125
{\an8}<i>A dog was paying tax, it seems.</i>

1081
01:08:59,333 --> 01:09:01,833
Did you accept it with intent
or were you ignorant?

1082
01:09:04,875 --> 01:09:08,125
{\an8}Sir, we now doubt whether the taxes
you collected from us were justified.

1083
01:09:08,208 --> 01:09:10,208
Sir, I'm asking you.
Please respond, sir.

1084
01:09:23,708 --> 01:09:24,666
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
01:09:29,083 --> 01:09:30,166
Prototype.

1087
01:09:31,375 --> 01:09:32,875
Can this car be driven on the road?

1088
01:09:32,958 --> 01:09:36,583
Sir, to drive that car, a separate
practice ground has been allocated.

1089
01:09:36,666 --> 01:09:38,166
Driving on this road is wrong.

1090
01:09:39,125 --> 01:09:40,958
Go straight to the police station.

1091
01:09:41,208 --> 01:09:42,041
Okay, sir.

1092
01:09:50,625 --> 01:09:52,750
- What do you think, NSK?
- Spectacular.

1093
01:09:54,083 --> 01:09:58,416
Make a film that teaches students
the importance of education.

1094
01:09:58,833 --> 01:10:00,125
Mr. Naidu.

1095
01:10:00,541 --> 01:10:04,083
Cinema should have
two fight scenes, four songs

1096
01:10:04,208 --> 01:10:07,375
with celestial nymphs like Menaka
and Rambha dancing enticingly.

1097
01:10:07,583 --> 01:10:10,750
Only then the audience will come
to the theaters to be entertained.

1098
01:10:10,833 --> 01:10:14,791
Now that will make the bosses happy,
and we can make some money.

1099
01:10:15,500 --> 01:10:18,416
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
01:10:21,083 --> 01:10:23,375
Which age are you living in, Naidu?

1102
01:10:23,583 --> 01:10:26,166
Why do you nod your head
so vehemently, Krishnan?

1103
01:10:33,166 --> 01:10:34,333
- Naidu?
- Huh?

1104
01:10:34,416 --> 01:10:36,583
Isn't that a police car chasing us?

1105
01:10:40,041 --> 01:10:41,250
Oh, yes!

1106
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:43,500
Naidu, is it a laughing matter?

1107
01:10:43,583 --> 01:10:46,583
Didn't you say we should laugh
when trouble comes chasing us?

1108
01:10:46,666 --> 01:10:48,708
That's the biggest boomerang, I swear!

1109
01:10:49,250 --> 01:10:52,083
The police and us are never
on the same side, Mr. Naidu.

1110
01:10:52,166 --> 01:10:55,208
Got a gun or something on you?
We'll finish them off and flee.

1111
01:10:57,166 --> 01:10:59,875
No need for such drastic measures.
I have a testing permit.

1112
01:10:59,958 --> 01:11:02,208
That's a relief.
Why not show them the permit?

1113
01:11:02,625 --> 01:11:05,333
Let them first catch up with us.
Then we can show them.

1114
01:11:14,583 --> 01:11:15,500
Faster!

1115
01:11:16,375 --> 01:11:18,666
- Go…go, man
- They are catching up, Naidu.

1116
01:11:18,875 --> 01:11:21,000
They are closing in, Naidu.

1117
01:11:21,166 --> 01:11:22,333
They are catching up.

1118
01:11:22,416 --> 01:11:25,000
Naidu, this is rocket speed!

1119
01:11:28,375 --> 01:11:29,541
Go, go, go!

1120
01:11:33,708 --> 01:11:35,666
- Naidu, they are catching up.
- Speed up!

1121
01:11:35,958 --> 01:11:37,250
Speed up!

1122
01:11:37,333 --> 01:11:39,333
We can arrest him
only if we nab him while driving.

1123
01:11:39,416 --> 01:11:40,750
Speed up to catch him.

1124
01:11:42,625 --> 01:11:43,916
Careful…

1125
01:11:47,250 --> 01:11:49,083
Oh, no! Naidu.

1126
01:11:49,708 --> 01:11:51,625
They are hot on our heels, Naidu.

1127
01:11:51,708 --> 01:11:54,875
With your act of defiance, looks like
even your permit won't save us today.

1128
01:11:54,958 --> 01:11:56,583
Worry not, NSK.

1129
01:11:56,875 --> 01:11:59,125
Our prototype is a four-wheel ride.

1130
01:11:59,750 --> 01:12:00,791
They are coming, Naidu.

1131
01:12:00,875 --> 01:12:03,083
They are closing in on us.
Speed up, Naidu!

1132
01:12:15,125 --> 01:12:16,708
- Mr. Naidu.
- Huh?

1133
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:19,958
Not just the car,
that khaki uniform bit the dust too.

1134
01:12:23,791 --> 01:12:24,750
Mr. Naidu.

1135
01:12:24,875 --> 01:12:26,916
Don't assume the police have given up.

1136
01:12:27,041 --> 01:12:29,333
They will sniff us out like hounds.

1137
01:12:29,416 --> 01:12:30,500
Dirty fellows!

1138
01:12:31,791 --> 01:12:35,000
He brought the comfort of bus travel
to people who used ox carts.

1139
01:12:35,125 --> 01:12:36,666
They created problem then.

1140
01:12:36,875 --> 01:12:40,041
Now Naidu's goal is for
the common folk to travel by car.

1141
01:12:40,291 --> 01:12:42,666
To make cars affordable,

1142
01:12:42,833 --> 01:12:45,000
he has assembled a prototype.

1143
01:12:45,416 --> 01:12:47,541
Those wretched fellows
have landed here too.

1144
01:12:47,625 --> 01:12:49,541
Sir, car means affluence, right?

1145
01:12:50,083 --> 01:12:53,208
How can it be made cheap enough
for the common man to afford it?

1146
01:12:53,291 --> 01:12:55,333
- It is possible.
- Huh?

1147
01:12:55,833 --> 01:12:58,625
You know Hitler from Germany?

1148
01:12:59,125 --> 01:13:02,208
He used this same method
to build low-cost cars.

1149
01:13:02,375 --> 01:13:05,625
There's a rumor going around that he plans
to make it available to the common man.

1150
01:13:05,708 --> 01:13:08,708
The two of us are planning
to go to Germany.

1151
01:13:08,833 --> 01:13:11,708
If we can prove that their
cars can be manufactured

1152
01:13:11,791 --> 01:13:14,333
in our country at a cheaper price,

1153
01:13:14,708 --> 01:13:16,791
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
01:13:19,333 --> 01:13:20,541
Then next step?

1156
01:13:20,625 --> 01:13:23,083
We will also manufacture cars
at an affordable price

1157
01:13:23,166 --> 01:13:25,125
and offer it to our people.

1158
01:13:25,208 --> 01:13:26,500
Mr. Pillai!

1159
01:13:26,625 --> 01:13:28,791
These British fellows don't like Germans.

1160
01:13:28,875 --> 01:13:30,250
Nor do they like our Naidu.

1161
01:13:30,333 --> 01:13:34,208
But you're saying you will join hands
with the Germans and do business?

1162
01:13:34,458 --> 01:13:36,500
He won't let you go out of this country.

1163
01:13:36,583 --> 01:13:39,166
Only God can help you get
the stamp of approval, Mr. Naidu.

1164
01:13:39,250 --> 01:13:41,625
Radha, we have an idea for that.

1165
01:13:41,916 --> 01:13:43,750
You know the razor blade
Naidu has invented?

1166
01:13:43,833 --> 01:13:45,125
UMS blade.

1167
01:13:45,500 --> 01:13:47,375
- What was the name of that place again…
- Leipzig.

1168
01:13:47,458 --> 01:13:48,458
Leipzig.

1169
01:13:48,541 --> 01:13:50,500
We'll attend a trade fair in that city

1170
01:13:50,750 --> 01:13:52,458
to showcase the blade over there.

1171
01:13:52,625 --> 01:13:54,458
We have got the nomination

1172
01:13:54,833 --> 01:13:56,333
and the invitation too.

1173
01:13:56,583 --> 01:13:58,500
We go to display the blade

1174
01:13:58,583 --> 01:14:00,541
and seal the car deal at the same time.

1175
01:14:00,833 --> 01:14:02,125
Remarkable!

1176
01:14:02,250 --> 01:14:04,375
You're doing this
for the good of our people.

1177
01:14:04,458 --> 01:14:05,791
Everything will be for the good.

1178
01:14:05,875 --> 01:14:07,875
Forget the good outcome.

1179
01:14:08,041 --> 01:14:09,791
Look at the trouble
coming right behind you.

1180
01:14:09,875 --> 01:14:10,958
They are here?

1181
01:14:16,291 --> 01:14:20,041
Sir, we saw you driving
a prototype car this morning.

1182
01:14:20,125 --> 01:14:22,041
- It's illegal.
- Car, huh?

1183
01:14:22,125 --> 01:14:24,541
Mr. Naidu, why haven't you
taken us for a drive yet?

1184
01:14:24,625 --> 01:14:27,250
Wouldn't he have taken us for a drive
if such a car existed?

1185
01:14:27,333 --> 01:14:28,833
What are you saying, officer?

1186
01:14:28,916 --> 01:14:30,375
Are you acting funny with me, sir?

1187
01:14:30,458 --> 01:14:34,000
Are we his friends or family
to pull his leg?

1188
01:14:34,333 --> 01:14:35,875
Constables, search!

1189
01:14:36,125 --> 01:14:37,291
Search thoroughly.

1190
01:14:37,375 --> 01:14:41,333
I've been searching for the past two days.
It seems to be playing hide and seek!

1191
01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:47,083
You couldn't find such a big car?

1192
01:14:48,083 --> 01:14:49,083
Sir.

1193
01:14:49,666 --> 01:14:53,000
It took us only one hour to locate him.

1194
01:14:54,083 --> 01:14:57,708
But by then, he had dismantled
the car and removed all traces of it.

1195
01:14:58,125 --> 01:15:00,541
We were unable to catch him
with the car intact, sir.

1196
01:15:00,625 --> 01:15:01,708
Constables.

1197
01:15:03,083 --> 01:15:04,083
Sir, look at this.

1198
01:15:04,625 --> 01:15:06,833
G. D. Naidu's new scheme
to build a house in 24 hours.

1199
01:15:06,916 --> 01:15:08,958
He has invited V. V. Giri
to inaugurate the foundation.

1200
01:15:09,041 --> 01:15:11,416
He built the house in just one day
and even invited V.V. Giri

1201
01:15:11,500 --> 01:15:13,666
{\an8}to inaugurate it the very same evening.

1202
01:15:13,916 --> 01:15:15,375
{\an8}He has gone way beyond our grasp.

1203
01:15:15,458 --> 01:15:17,833
{\an8}Trying to nab him is
becoming tougher by the day.

1204
01:15:22,208 --> 01:15:23,625
{\an8}- Killi.
- Sir?

1205
01:15:24,166 --> 01:15:26,291
{\an8}A man is piling up a list of wrongdoings.

1206
01:15:26,958 --> 01:15:28,541
How far can he go?

1207
01:15:29,125 --> 01:15:30,458
Let me wait and watch.

1208
01:15:36,958 --> 01:15:39,583
{\an8}EN ROUTE GERMANY

1209
01:15:43,708 --> 01:15:46,041
Shall we place
that chassis blueprint on top?

1210
01:15:46,125 --> 01:15:47,000
Yes.

1211
01:15:54,666 --> 01:15:57,208
Mom, it's broken.

1212
01:16:06,375 --> 01:16:07,875
- What, Sundaram?
- Sir?

1213
01:16:07,958 --> 01:16:10,333
Your body is moving forward
but your eyeballs are reversing!

1214
01:16:10,416 --> 01:16:12,500
Sir, we have spent 30 days on this ship.

1215
01:16:12,583 --> 01:16:14,083
My eyes can see only miles of blue sea.

1216
01:16:14,166 --> 01:16:16,833
That was just a simple act
of appreciating beauty, sir.

1217
01:16:16,916 --> 01:16:18,666
Sundaram, please bring that over here.

1218
01:16:18,750 --> 01:16:19,875
What… Oh, this?

1219
01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:26,208
Thank you, madam.

1220
01:16:26,291 --> 01:16:28,708
In broad daylight?
That too in front of our boss?

1221
01:16:28,791 --> 01:16:29,833
That's alright.

1222
01:16:30,208 --> 01:16:31,416
Is that whiskey?

1223
01:16:31,500 --> 01:16:33,250
It is whiskey but not for drinking.

1224
01:16:33,541 --> 01:16:35,041
- Then for what?
- For this nick.

1225
01:16:36,833 --> 01:16:37,958
How did that happen?

1226
01:16:38,208 --> 01:16:39,791
Sir, I used our UMS blade.

1227
01:16:39,958 --> 01:16:42,541
Even after 20 shaves,
it stayed sharp as ever.

1228
01:16:42,791 --> 01:16:45,250
But the rocking of this ship
caused this mild cut.

1229
01:16:45,666 --> 01:16:47,958
When you shave,
there should be no cuts or nicks.

1230
01:16:48,041 --> 01:16:50,833
We need a blade
that glides softly as butter.

1231
01:16:50,916 --> 01:16:52,833
Imagine the satisfaction you will get.

1232
01:16:53,708 --> 01:16:56,416
You should not use a butter knife
to slice a loaf of bread, Louisa.

1233
01:16:56,500 --> 01:16:58,375
Use the knife with serrated edges.

1234
01:16:58,458 --> 01:17:00,958
Only then will it cut smoothly
and perfectly.

1235
01:17:41,791 --> 01:17:45,041
Sir, I told you
only because I nicked my throat.

1236
01:17:45,500 --> 01:17:47,375
You've attached a motor to shave now.

1237
01:17:47,625 --> 01:17:49,666
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
01:17:51,333 --> 01:17:54,708
This is a small sacrifice to see
if your boss's invention works.

1240
01:17:55,041 --> 01:17:59,125
When new drugs are discovered in the West,
scientists experiment on lab mice.

1241
01:17:59,208 --> 01:18:00,541
This is the same situation.

1242
01:18:00,666 --> 01:18:01,708
Mice?

1243
01:18:02,541 --> 01:18:05,333
He has a better beard than mine.
Why not experiment on him?

1244
01:18:05,416 --> 01:18:07,666
I've taken a vow for Lord Murugan.

1245
01:18:08,916 --> 01:18:10,416
You can't tamper with it.

1246
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:12,625
Okay, first you try.

1247
01:18:13,958 --> 01:18:15,083
Lord Murugan.

1248
01:18:48,833 --> 01:18:49,708
Sir.

1249
01:18:50,083 --> 01:18:51,958
Not even a single nick on my face.

1250
01:18:52,791 --> 01:18:55,333
Your skin is as soft as a baby's bottom.

1251
01:18:55,750 --> 01:18:58,625
Sir, if Hitler tries to shave
with this razor,

1252
01:18:58,708 --> 01:19:00,666
he will be astounded by your invention.

1253
01:19:00,750 --> 01:19:04,208
Sir, we must definitely send this
to the next trade fair competition.

1254
01:19:06,666 --> 01:19:08,458
Sir, I found out
the meaning of your words.

1255
01:19:08,541 --> 01:19:10,208
<i>Rasant</i> means fast in German.

1256
01:19:10,291 --> 01:19:12,500
- A wonderful name for our razor.
- Yes, Pillai.

1257
01:19:12,583 --> 01:19:14,583
Rasant razor which we will
manufacture and sell

1258
01:19:14,666 --> 01:19:18,083
should be the first cost-effective
vibrating electric shaver in the world.

1259
01:19:18,166 --> 01:19:21,125
Yes, Naidu, we can find
good electric motors in Germany.

1260
01:19:21,250 --> 01:19:23,666
We can buy this handle from Switzerland.

1261
01:19:23,750 --> 01:19:26,625
Then this steel required
to make the blade…

1262
01:19:26,708 --> 01:19:28,458
We can import it from Sweden.

1263
01:19:28,541 --> 01:19:30,041
We can set up a factory in Coimbatore.

1264
01:19:30,125 --> 01:19:31,541
Brilliant idea!

1265
01:19:31,791 --> 01:19:33,208
He's here. He's here.

1266
01:19:38,458 --> 01:19:40,750
- Should we also raise our hands?
- No, no need.

1267
01:19:52,083 --> 01:19:53,083
One second.

1268
01:19:53,166 --> 01:19:54,541
- No…
- Just one photo.

1269
01:19:54,625 --> 01:19:56,000
One photo.

1270
01:19:56,083 --> 01:19:58,333
Hey! Let go.
Where are you taking me?

1271
01:19:58,416 --> 01:19:59,708
Let go of him.

1272
01:19:59,791 --> 01:20:01,000
Sir…

1273
01:20:08,750 --> 01:20:11,416
All of you, go that side, quick.

1274
01:20:18,750 --> 01:20:19,916
What, sir? What is the matter?

1275
01:20:20,000 --> 01:20:21,458
Search and seizure operation.

1276
01:20:21,791 --> 01:20:23,916
- On what basis?
- Based on suspicion.

1277
01:20:24,375 --> 01:20:27,500
The machines Naidu used for counterfeiting
and the fake notes are hoarded here

1278
01:20:27,583 --> 01:20:29,833
according to the information
we have received.

1279
01:20:29,916 --> 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
01:20:35,083 --> 01:20:38,333
We got word of unaccounted cash
and gold being stashed here.

1282
01:20:38,416 --> 01:20:40,000
- Who the hell said so, man?
- Hey!

1283
01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:44,083
- Mohan.
- Sir.

1284
01:20:44,625 --> 01:20:45,958
Where is the Accounts room?

1285
01:20:46,208 --> 01:20:47,125
No one should move.

1286
01:20:47,208 --> 01:20:48,458
Those of you outside
should not enter.

1287
01:20:48,541 --> 01:20:50,333
Those inside should not exit.

1288
01:20:51,416 --> 01:20:53,750
What's the use of being flustered now?

1289
01:20:53,833 --> 01:20:54,916
Excuse me, madam.

1290
01:20:56,625 --> 01:20:58,833
They want access to our Accounts room.

1291
01:20:58,916 --> 01:21:00,375
How can we do that?

1292
01:21:00,500 --> 01:21:02,416
I can seat them in the meeting hall
and get the docume--

1293
01:21:02,500 --> 01:21:03,625
Mr. Achudhan.

1294
01:21:04,083 --> 01:21:06,500
Just give whichever room
they need access to.

1295
01:21:07,750 --> 01:21:10,291
We should be scared
only if we are hiding something.

1296
01:21:10,750 --> 01:21:12,375
At a time when the boss isn't here…

1297
01:21:12,458 --> 01:21:15,083
Even if he had been here,
he would have done the same.

1298
01:21:15,875 --> 01:21:17,125
POLICE

1299
01:21:17,208 --> 01:21:18,416
What is this city, sir?

1300
01:21:18,666 --> 01:21:20,875
Will they arrest us
just for clicking photos?

1301
01:21:21,166 --> 01:21:22,500
- Sundaram.
- Sir?

1302
01:21:22,666 --> 01:21:24,833
I heard they don't allow
anyone to utter a single word.

1303
01:21:24,916 --> 01:21:27,625
Only their guns do the talking, it seems.

1304
01:21:27,916 --> 01:21:30,250
Our Naidu lets his tongue
run when riled up.

1305
01:21:30,708 --> 01:21:32,708
- Wonder what is happening.
- Sir.

1306
01:21:33,333 --> 01:21:35,625
Why? Let us think positive.

1307
01:21:36,041 --> 01:21:37,166
Wishful thinking.

1308
01:21:37,333 --> 01:21:40,291
Can you arrange
for his release now?

1309
01:21:40,375 --> 01:21:42,416
- Sure.
- Henrick.

1310
01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:44,291
No need to be scared.

1311
01:21:44,375 --> 01:21:45,416
He is right here.

1312
01:21:45,500 --> 01:21:46,708
Come with me.

1313
01:21:49,583 --> 01:21:52,250
They released him.
But he refused to leave.

1314
01:21:52,333 --> 01:21:53,750
What is going on in his mind?

1315
01:21:53,833 --> 01:21:56,291
Whatever wretchedness
only he has to blurt it out.

1316
01:22:17,958 --> 01:22:19,333
Oh, no!

1317
01:22:27,375 --> 01:22:28,500
What is this, Pillai?

1318
01:22:29,041 --> 01:22:31,291
I thought you would take
at least two months to track me down.

1319
01:22:31,375 --> 01:22:33,041
But here you are in two days.

1320
01:22:33,291 --> 01:22:34,541
Sir, what is this?

1321
01:22:34,625 --> 01:22:37,041
Be practical.
It's freezing cold outside.

1322
01:22:37,125 --> 01:22:38,250
If I ask for a vegetarian meal,

1323
01:22:38,333 --> 01:22:41,000
without making a face, they serve
unlimited, piping hot food.

1324
01:22:41,083 --> 01:22:42,125
I have an idea.

1325
01:22:42,500 --> 01:22:43,916
Why don't you both
finish all the work?

1326
01:22:44,000 --> 01:22:45,166
I'll stay here a couple of days.

1327
01:22:45,250 --> 01:22:46,708
Is this your idea of a joke?

1328
01:22:47,083 --> 01:22:50,583
Our blade is being awarded
a prize at the Leipzig Fair.

1329
01:22:50,916 --> 01:22:52,625
How can we receive it without you?

1330
01:22:55,041 --> 01:22:56,666
- Is that true, Pillai?
- Yes.

1331
01:23:01,541 --> 01:23:03,541
Come on. Don't dawdle.

1332
01:23:03,791 --> 01:23:04,875
I'm going.

1333
01:23:06,208 --> 01:23:08,583
Don't eat anything offered to you
by anyone at the raid venue.

1334
01:23:08,666 --> 01:23:10,750
- Everything is arranged by us, Mohan.
- Okay.

1335
01:23:10,833 --> 01:23:12,916
- Mohan.
- Sir, I've checked.

1336
01:23:13,375 --> 01:23:15,625
No black money or gold
is hoarded inside, sir.

1337
01:23:15,916 --> 01:23:17,666
Where were you
all this while, Mr. Mohan?

1338
01:23:17,750 --> 01:23:19,583
Checking the locker room downstairs--

1339
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:31,250
Hey! Police!

1340
01:23:31,708 --> 01:23:32,875
Call the fire force!

1341
01:23:34,166 --> 01:23:36,458
Sir, I am sure this is their doing.

1342
01:23:46,291 --> 01:23:50,208
Ladies and gentlemen, a huge round
of applause for Mr. G. Doraiswamy Naidu

1343
01:23:50,291 --> 01:23:53,916
for winning the prestigious
third prize at this year's Leipzig Fair.

1344
01:24:00,666 --> 01:24:05,250
LEIPZIG TRADE FAIR

1345
01:24:05,583 --> 01:24:06,666
Pillai.

1346
01:24:07,541 --> 01:24:09,875
This is an air-cooled engine.
I told you, right?

1347
01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:11,791
- So cheap and efficient.
- Sir.

1348
01:24:11,875 --> 01:24:14,208
We have got an appointment
with the Benz authorities.

1349
01:24:14,291 --> 01:24:16,666
- Shall we go?
- Come…

1350
01:24:24,875 --> 01:24:27,333
I've got a new idea
for the valve lock technology.

1351
01:24:30,166 --> 01:24:31,458
I'd like to show--

1352
01:24:31,625 --> 01:24:33,083
Naidu is here.

1353
01:24:33,541 --> 01:24:34,541
Naidu?

1354
01:24:37,208 --> 01:24:39,583
Mr. Naidu.
Congratulations on your award.

1355
01:24:40,166 --> 01:24:42,333
<i>Danke schoen.</i>

1356
01:24:45,250 --> 01:24:49,625
You are manufacturing
foreign spare parts in India.

1357
01:24:49,750 --> 01:24:51,958
Their business is being severely affected.

1358
01:24:52,041 --> 01:24:53,250
How is that possible, sir?

1359
01:24:53,333 --> 01:24:57,125
If car manufacturers don't hike the price
of spare parts for excess profit,

1360
01:24:57,208 --> 01:24:59,625
why would I manufacture them myself?

1361
01:25:03,833 --> 01:25:06,333
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
01:25:11,583 --> 01:25:13,416
Why don't you send us a proposal?

1364
01:25:13,750 --> 01:25:15,916
Oh, my God, sir.
I will be delighted to.

1365
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:17,666
- I didn't expect this.
- Of course.

1366
01:25:17,958 --> 01:25:18,916
Thank you.

1367
01:25:19,041 --> 01:25:20,875
Mr. Rudolph, about this
valve lock technology…

1368
01:25:20,958 --> 01:25:22,000
Later…

1369
01:25:22,083 --> 01:25:23,291
Come for coffee.

1370
01:25:23,375 --> 01:25:24,208
Yes.

1371
01:25:29,666 --> 01:25:33,000
{\an8}MADRAS HARBOR

1372
01:25:36,125 --> 01:25:37,750
Hello, G. D. Welcome back.

1373
01:25:37,833 --> 01:25:39,291
Hi, Doctor. How are you?

1374
01:25:39,458 --> 01:25:41,708
I am good as always.
Ranganayaki is waiting for you.

1375
01:25:45,583 --> 01:25:46,833
How are you, dear?

1376
01:25:49,250 --> 01:25:50,833
I'm good. How are you?

1377
01:25:51,541 --> 01:25:52,708
I am good too.

1378
01:25:52,791 --> 01:25:54,333
How is everyone at home?

1379
01:25:55,041 --> 01:25:56,250
They are doing well too.

1380
01:26:00,541 --> 01:26:02,500
You jinxed everything.

1381
01:26:03,083 --> 01:26:05,000
Such a downpour on our grove.

1382
01:26:05,750 --> 01:26:07,375
We didn't get a single mango.

1383
01:26:07,875 --> 01:26:09,000
And our house help, Devi,

1384
01:26:09,083 --> 01:26:11,750
has not come to clean the house
for more than a month.

1385
01:26:12,583 --> 01:26:15,583
Hey! Did you bring down the rice fritters
I had dried on the terrace?

1386
01:26:15,666 --> 01:26:17,291
- Yes, I did.
- Your favorite…

1387
01:26:18,708 --> 01:26:20,458
If they burn our documents,

1388
01:26:21,125 --> 01:26:24,000
we cannot prove that they levied
false tax penalties on us.

1389
01:26:24,166 --> 01:26:27,375
They made sure there is
no evidence whatsoever, sir.

1390
01:26:30,916 --> 01:26:32,416
They have set the fire, right?

1391
01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:36,333
No one can extinguish that fire hereafter.

1392
01:26:39,250 --> 01:26:40,166
Come on.

1393
01:26:46,875 --> 01:26:47,875
Greetings, sir.

1394
01:26:49,375 --> 01:26:51,875
Ramaiah Pillai,
say what you want to say and leave.

1395
01:26:52,250 --> 01:26:55,041
What is this, Sundaram?
Aren't the British our enemies?

1396
01:26:55,125 --> 01:26:56,958
We should actually be opposing them.

1397
01:26:57,125 --> 01:26:58,833
But our own people
seem to be our enemies.

1398
01:26:58,916 --> 01:27:00,583
To traitors like you,

1399
01:27:01,416 --> 01:27:03,416
we will appear like enemies, Pillai.

1400
01:27:03,958 --> 01:27:05,166
Your wit is commendable!

1401
01:27:05,500 --> 01:27:08,250
The Industrial Revolution
in our Kongu belt

1402
01:27:08,416 --> 01:27:10,541
will transform into our nation's growth.

1403
01:27:10,625 --> 01:27:12,875
We have been planning
with foresight, you see.

1404
01:27:12,958 --> 01:27:14,500
Yes, we are traitors.

1405
01:27:15,000 --> 01:27:18,083
If diligent taxpayers say this,
we can listen with due respect.

1406
01:27:18,666 --> 01:27:21,833
You are so confident because
the tax documents are burnt, right?

1407
01:27:22,375 --> 01:27:23,833
Hey, my dear boys.

1408
01:27:24,166 --> 01:27:27,750
Bring in all our documents
they assume they have burnt.

1409
01:27:39,666 --> 01:27:40,958
Look at them coming in a line.

1410
01:27:41,041 --> 01:27:42,750
Like a millipede.

1411
01:27:43,083 --> 01:27:45,708
Come at a brisk pace
and put them down in one swift motion.

1412
01:27:45,791 --> 01:27:47,833
Look how they dropped it
stirring a cloud of dust.

1413
01:27:47,916 --> 01:27:49,291
What are you staring at?

1414
01:27:49,375 --> 01:27:51,083
These are our original documents.

1415
01:27:51,708 --> 01:27:53,291
You burnt the copies.

1416
01:27:53,416 --> 01:27:57,875
Our Naidu takes four copies
of every single document.

1417
01:27:58,333 --> 01:28:02,833
Be they documents, office letters,
personal letters, and…

1418
01:28:04,250 --> 01:28:06,166
He takes copies of love letters too.

1419
01:28:07,208 --> 01:28:09,000
All the documents are original, sir.

1420
01:28:10,416 --> 01:28:12,333
Scan the files thoroughly.

1421
01:28:12,708 --> 01:28:13,916
Our boys, sit down.

1422
01:28:14,708 --> 01:28:17,333
Let's see if the documents
burn or float today.

1423
01:28:17,541 --> 01:28:19,666
Sir, please, you are not
permitted to sit like this.

1424
01:28:19,750 --> 01:28:21,208
Then I'll change my position.

1425
01:28:22,291 --> 01:28:23,291
Mohan.

1426
01:28:23,458 --> 01:28:24,458
Let them be.

1427
01:28:25,416 --> 01:28:26,625
These documents.

1428
01:28:26,708 --> 01:28:28,458
Start checking them.

1429
01:28:28,541 --> 01:28:30,291
- Yes, sir.
- Call our entire staff.

1430
01:28:50,833 --> 01:28:51,875
What is this?

1431
01:28:53,000 --> 01:28:55,208
Why are you humiliating me like this?

1432
01:28:56,833 --> 01:29:00,541
Naidu's papers and accounts
are in perfect order.

1433
01:29:01,375 --> 01:29:04,583
Then how are our documents
showing such stark differences?

1434
01:29:06,625 --> 01:29:07,625
What?

1435
01:29:07,750 --> 01:29:09,375
What have you been up to?

1436
01:29:11,166 --> 01:29:13,250
Respected honest officer.

1437
01:29:14,875 --> 01:29:18,166
Will you fight among yourselves
or listen to what we have to say?

1438
01:29:19,375 --> 01:29:20,666
Not just UMS.

1439
01:29:20,958 --> 01:29:23,125
Our factories,
educational institutions,

1440
01:29:23,583 --> 01:29:25,000
all our records will be perfect.

1441
01:29:25,083 --> 01:29:27,333
Open it for inspection
for anyone at any time.

1442
01:29:28,375 --> 01:29:31,875
I chose not to pay the penalty
your government unjustly enforced on me.

1443
01:29:32,833 --> 01:29:36,166
Instead of learning how
to burn records using phosphorus,

1444
01:29:36,625 --> 01:29:40,458
you can learn why your government
is targeting me repeatedly, right?

1445
01:29:41,125 --> 01:29:42,291
Let me repeat your golden words.

1446
01:29:42,375 --> 01:29:44,000
People cannot be trusted.

1447
01:29:44,791 --> 01:29:46,458
Only papers speak the truth.

1448
01:29:47,833 --> 01:29:49,916
Our papers have revealed the truth to you.

1449
01:29:51,583 --> 01:29:53,250
Who will you suspect now?

1450
01:29:58,458 --> 01:29:59,458
I'll take leave.

1451
01:30:02,000 --> 01:30:06,041
Naidu ironed out the alleged creases of
his papers and crumpled Krishnan's policy.

1452
01:30:16,458 --> 01:30:18,083
G. D. NAIDU HONORED IN GERMANY

1453
01:30:18,166 --> 01:30:19,250
Sir?

1454
01:30:20,708 --> 01:30:23,125
- Did you read this news?
- Yes.

1455
01:30:23,791 --> 01:30:24,750
Sir.

1456
01:30:24,916 --> 01:30:27,041
We have applications
for new business ventures.

1457
01:30:27,125 --> 01:30:28,458
Your signature is required.

1458
01:30:28,625 --> 01:30:31,416
Hereafter, if someone
wants to start a business,

1459
01:30:31,500 --> 01:30:33,583
you should tell them
to meet me personally.

1460
01:30:34,291 --> 01:30:37,833
They'd start a business in the names
of their pets and bring me trouble!

1461
01:30:38,250 --> 01:30:39,708
Hey, sit down. Sit and eat.

1462
01:30:42,083 --> 01:30:44,541
Sir, Naidu is claiming
to be a true Gandhian

1463
01:30:44,625 --> 01:30:46,708
and is refusing to pay tax to the British.

1464
01:30:46,791 --> 01:30:49,916
But he has manufactured and sold
a mica capacitor for their Ham radio.

1465
01:30:50,000 --> 01:30:52,583
Is he for or against the British?
I don't understand.

1466
01:30:55,041 --> 01:30:56,291
Sir, I have an idea.

1467
01:30:56,541 --> 01:30:58,666
For selling mica capacitors
to Hitler and the Nazi regime,

1468
01:30:58,750 --> 01:31:01,666
we can file a complaint framing him
and convince the Governor General.

1469
01:31:01,750 --> 01:31:04,416
He will be labeled a national traitor
and jailed. End of story.

1470
01:31:04,500 --> 01:31:06,083
Why should we take the crooked route?

1471
01:31:06,166 --> 01:31:08,416
Because we've been unable
to touch him directly till now.

1472
01:31:08,500 --> 01:31:10,875
He keeps growing,
stacking up his inventions…

1473
01:31:10,958 --> 01:31:12,750
He keeps opening factories, sir!

1474

Hey, Doctor.

1479
01:32:02,333 --> 01:32:04,208
What are you doing on my wife's lap?

1480
01:32:04,750 --> 01:32:06,916
Come here!
GD, you have to hear this.

1481
01:32:07,000 --> 01:32:08,166
No.

1482
01:32:08,458 --> 01:32:09,666
You have to see this.

01:32:14,958 --> 01:32:17,000
DAIMLER-BENZ PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANY

1484
01:32:22,666 --> 01:32:23,625
My dear.

1485
01:32:23,708 --> 01:32:24,916
Congratulations.

1486
01:32:25,000 --> 01:32:26,333
To you too, madam.

1487
01:32:26,833 --> 01:32:28,791
I'm leaving for Germany tomorrow night.

1488
01:32:30,291 --> 01:32:32,541
Hey, I will be back
in just two months, right?

1489
01:32:35,833 --> 01:32:37,041
STUTTGART, GERMANY

1490
01:32:37,125 --> 01:32:40,958
The tender number SMH 0139

1491
01:32:41,250 --> 01:32:45,041
has been awarded
to Mr. G. Doraiswamy Naidu.

1492
01:32:45,375 --> 01:32:48,875
United Motor Service,
Coimbatore, India.

1493
01:32:50,166 --> 01:32:53,083
Bidding for the tender is closed
for the next two years.

1494
01:32:54,458 --> 01:32:56,791
- Thank you.
- Congratulations, Naidu.

1495
01:32:57,416 --> 01:33:00,083
You Madrasis are bagging all the tenders.

1496
01:33:00,958 --> 01:33:02,625
- Mister…
- Bhupendar.

1497
01:33:02,708 --> 01:33:03,958
Bhupendar.

1498
01:33:05,208 --> 01:33:07,333
Next time, bring a solid
airtight proposal.

1499
01:33:07,708 --> 01:33:09,500
I'll withdraw my bid for you.

1500
01:33:10,208 --> 01:33:12,958
Whichever fellow-citizen
gets this order, I'll be happy.

1501
01:33:13,208 --> 01:33:14,250
Shall I take leave?

1502
01:33:15,250 --> 01:33:16,708
We got it as planned.

1503
01:33:30,375 --> 01:33:31,583
Krishnan!

1504
01:33:35,166 --> 01:33:36,000
Look at this.

1505
01:33:37,833 --> 01:33:40,541
This Naidu fellow has dared
to send me an invitation

1506
01:33:40,625 --> 01:33:43,291
to the National Electric Works
Factory inauguration.

1507
01:33:44,416 --> 01:33:48,041
Now, he's in Germany on a business trip.

1508
01:33:48,791 --> 01:33:52,166
This tax defaulter Naidu
is expanding his business everywhere.

1509
01:33:52,791 --> 01:33:54,625
What are we doing here, Krishnan?

1510
01:33:55,625 --> 01:33:57,041
Sir, for the past ten years,

1511
01:33:57,125 --> 01:34:00,291
Mr. Naidu has been
on our income tax red-list.

1512
01:34:00,708 --> 01:34:03,250
So his manufacturing license
can be easily cancel--

1513
01:34:03,333 --> 01:34:05,125
Krishnan, you don't understand.

1514
01:34:06,333 --> 01:34:08,750
How many red-listers
can you take action against?

1515
01:34:09,458 --> 01:34:11,541
We need to write to the Lieutenant General

1516
01:34:11,625 --> 01:34:15,833
stating that Naidu is doing business
with Germany and the Nazis

1517
01:34:16,291 --> 01:34:18,250
against the interests of the Crown.

1518
01:34:22,333 --> 01:34:23,708
This is treason.

1519
01:34:23,791 --> 01:34:24,625
Sir.

1520
01:34:24,708 --> 01:34:28,291
Prepare the necessary documents
to put a hold on his bank accounts.

1521
01:34:28,375 --> 01:34:29,625
- Now!
- Sir.

1522
01:34:32,458 --> 01:34:33,500
Madam.

1523
01:34:33,583 --> 01:34:37,125
That businessman Bhupendra
and Adams are responsible for all this?

1524
01:34:37,458 --> 01:34:39,833
Did they go to such lengths
to hinder someone's progress?

1525
01:34:39,916 --> 01:34:40,958
Yes, sir.

1526
01:34:41,125 --> 01:34:44,708
They branded him a national traitor
and froze all his bank accounts.

1527
01:34:45,083 --> 01:34:47,125
So all his factories had to be shut down.

1528
01:34:47,541 --> 01:34:51,458
{\an8}<i>World War began in Germany</i>
<i>before Naidu could return to India.</i>

1529
01:34:51,875 --> 01:34:53,083
<i>He was stuck over there.</i>

1530
01:34:53,583 --> 01:34:56,750
<i>In India, Ranganayaki was distraught,</i>

1531
01:34:56,833 --> 01:34:59,125
<i>unable to answer</i>
<i>the families who trusted her.</i>

1532
01:35:02,958 --> 01:35:07,250
<i>The Second World War intensified</i>
<i>in Germany, so he was unable to leave.</i>

1533
01:35:07,375 --> 01:35:11,583
<i>He was penniless and fainted on the road</i>
<i>due to starvation.</i>

1534
01:35:15,500 --> 01:35:16,458
<i>Thanks to his good fortune.</i>

1535
01:35:16,541 --> 01:35:21,041
<i>At that crucial moment,</i>
<i>Gottlieb Stoll and his wife, Berta Stoll</i>

1536
01:35:21,333 --> 01:35:23,333
<i>rescued Naidu from the jaws of death</i>

1537
01:35:23,416 --> 01:35:26,416
<i>and extended all the help possible</i>
<i>to send him back to India.</i>

1538
01:35:27,541 --> 01:35:31,416
Sir, I don't even know
when this World War began.

1539
01:35:32,416 --> 01:35:34,625
When I saw the Industrial Revolution
initiated by Hitler,

1540
01:35:34,708 --> 01:35:37,416
I thought he was developing
Germany to greater heights.

1541
01:35:37,875 --> 01:35:41,708
But I never imagined he would turn
into a bloodthirsty beast like this.

1542
01:35:43,791 --> 01:35:44,791
Mr. Stoll.

1543
01:35:45,458 --> 01:35:47,291
Do me one last favor, please.

1544
01:35:48,583 --> 01:35:49,958
My wife is pregnant.

1545
01:35:50,958 --> 01:35:52,958
I have to get back to India immediately.

1546
01:35:53,500 --> 01:35:55,333
If you can somehow arrange my return…

1547
01:35:57,333 --> 01:35:59,916
<i>Because of the war, there were</i>
<i>no passenger ships to India.</i>

1548
01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:02,083
<i>So he had to travel to Italy from Germany,</i>

1549
01:36:02,166 --> 01:36:05,083
<i>then to America,</i>
<i>and from there to Japan.</i>

1550
01:36:05,166 --> 01:36:08,916
<i>And from Japan to India via Rangoon.</i>
<i>It took him more than a year to return.</i>

1551
01:36:11,166 --> 01:36:13,583
The whole town is sure
that he will not return.

1552
01:36:13,666 --> 01:36:16,291
Turn your heart to stone
and accept the reality, dear.

1553
01:36:16,625 --> 01:36:20,208
You haven't even named your baby.
You are sitting here totally depressed.

1554
01:36:20,666 --> 01:36:23,833
I just can't bear to see you
in such a distressed state.

1555
01:36:24,000 --> 01:36:26,208
Will you please be quiet and go inside?

1556
01:36:36,458 --> 01:36:37,375
Hello?

1557
01:36:38,041 --> 01:36:38,958
<i>R-Ranga.</i>

1558
01:36:44,666 --> 01:36:45,791
How are you, dear?

1559
01:36:46,583 --> 01:36:48,000
How is everyone at home?

1560
01:36:56,916 --> 01:36:58,916
Your son and I…

1561
01:36:59,500 --> 01:37:00,500
We are fine.

1562
01:37:04,083 --> 01:37:05,083
Son?

1563
01:37:08,833 --> 01:37:10,041
What have you named him?

1564
01:37:10,250 --> 01:37:11,208
Who is it?

1565
01:37:11,291 --> 01:37:12,500
My dear. Come here.

1566
01:37:12,583 --> 01:37:16,291
Without you returning,
how will I name him?

1567
01:37:18,416 --> 01:37:19,416
Alright.

1568
01:37:22,583 --> 01:37:23,958
Tell baby Gopal

1569
01:37:24,416 --> 01:37:27,250
that his father will be there soon
to play with him, dear.

1570
01:37:51,666 --> 01:37:53,791
<i>As soon as Naidu returned from Germany,</i>

1571
01:37:53,958 --> 01:37:58,375
<i>he started working at full throttle</i>
<i>to set up the Benz car factory.</i>

1572
01:37:58,791 --> 01:38:03,041
<i>He bought acres of land in Eachanari</i>
<i>and started work there too.</i>

1573
01:38:03,583 --> 01:38:07,333
<i>He was filled with excitement</i>
<i>that his lifelong dream was coming true.</i>

1574
01:38:07,583 --> 01:38:09,500
People were eagerly looking forward

1575
01:38:09,583 --> 01:38:13,958
to the Benz factory in the Kongu belt
as a hallmark of Tamil Nadu.

1576
01:38:17,625 --> 01:38:20,375
I was at peace thinking
that Naidu was dead and gone.

1577
01:38:20,708 --> 01:38:24,250
Now he has bought land
to set up a car factory.

1578
01:38:24,875 --> 01:38:26,666
He has imported raw materials.

1579
01:38:28,000 --> 01:38:29,000
Adams.

1580
01:38:30,291 --> 01:38:31,875
I gave you everything you asked.

1581
01:38:32,333 --> 01:38:34,625
Could you put an end
to Naidu's winning streak?

1582
01:38:35,000 --> 01:38:36,875
I listened to your bloody advice

1583
01:38:37,625 --> 01:38:39,916
and lodged a treason case against him.

1584
01:38:41,125 --> 01:38:43,541
He filed a complaint against me
with the Governor

1585
01:38:44,166 --> 01:38:46,208
and I had to face a lengthy reprimand.

1586
01:38:46,958 --> 01:38:47,875
Listen.

1587
01:38:48,375 --> 01:38:50,958
Mountbatten is here early
to take us back home.

1588
01:38:53,583 --> 01:38:54,791
And it's official.

1589
01:38:55,458 --> 01:38:57,208
India is getting its independence.

1590
01:38:59,750 --> 01:39:01,000
Naidu will rejoice

1591
01:39:01,541 --> 01:39:05,625
imagining that all his troubles
will be over once the British depart.

1592
01:39:07,250 --> 01:39:08,958
He shall be informed, however,

1593
01:39:09,458 --> 01:39:11,666
that he must continue
to bear the penalties

1594
01:39:11,750 --> 01:39:14,083
that have been levied against him
by the British

1595
01:39:15,000 --> 01:39:17,333
even after India attains her independence.

1596
01:39:18,875 --> 01:39:20,291
He will remain pig-headed.

1597
01:39:20,958 --> 01:39:25,250
Arguing that these are unjust penalties
foisted upon him by the British.

1598
01:39:26,916 --> 01:39:28,666
He would demand a justification

1599
01:39:29,250 --> 01:39:31,000
and refuse to pay the penalties

1600
01:39:31,833 --> 01:39:34,208
until he receives a special dispensation.

1601
01:39:36,791 --> 01:39:41,083
This very obstinacy, you see,
will be his undoing.

1602
01:39:44,916 --> 01:39:49,250
I think… I've got the right man
for the job.

1603
01:40:03,666 --> 01:40:05,541
What did you say that man's name was?

1604
01:40:06,625 --> 01:40:07,708
G. D. Naidu.

1605
01:40:08,375 --> 01:40:10,583
If the money reaches the right hands,

1606
01:40:10,791 --> 01:40:12,625
your wish will be fulfilled.

1607
01:40:30,916 --> 01:40:34,250
<i>On the occasion</i>
<i>of India's seventh Independence Day,</i>

1608
01:40:34,333 --> 01:40:39,416
<i>business prodigy G. D. Naidu has organized</i>
<i>a grand agricultural exhibition.</i>

1609
01:40:39,500 --> 01:40:41,291
<i>I welcome all of you</i>
<i>to enjoy this experience.</i>

1610
01:40:41,375 --> 01:40:42,458
What is this, Naidu?

1611
01:40:42,541 --> 01:40:44,833
Started experimenting
with agriculture also?

1612
01:40:44,916 --> 01:40:45,958
Yes, Mr. Raman.

1613
01:40:46,458 --> 01:40:49,416
You studied physics.
So you experiment with physics.

1614
01:40:49,500 --> 01:40:51,166
I didn't even pass Grade Three.

1615
01:40:51,250 --> 01:40:52,791
So I can experiment with anything, right?

1616
01:40:52,875 --> 01:40:54,166
I agree to that, Naidu.

1617
01:40:54,250 --> 01:40:56,583
You are a man in a million.
You can do it.

1618
01:40:56,666 --> 01:40:58,333
Thank you very much, sir.

1619
01:40:58,416 --> 01:40:59,708
See that water tank over there?

1620
01:40:59,791 --> 01:41:02,208
- The land behind it--
- Sir, can I take a photo?

1621
01:41:02,291 --> 01:41:03,125
Yes.

1622
01:41:11,375 --> 01:41:12,500
Get back.

1623
01:41:12,708 --> 01:41:13,750
Stand back!

1624
01:41:14,208 --> 01:41:15,166
Shut this.

1625
01:41:16,958 --> 01:41:18,166
Thank you.

1626
01:41:18,250 --> 01:41:19,208
Mr. Raman.

1627
01:41:19,291 --> 01:41:20,333
He is Kurt Stoll.

1628
01:41:20,625 --> 01:41:23,875
My husband is alive today
thanks to his parents.

1629
01:41:24,041 --> 01:41:24,958
True, sir.

1630
01:41:25,416 --> 01:41:27,250
I am forever indebted to his family.

1631
01:41:27,500 --> 01:41:29,583
You could call it
a rough patch in my life.

1632
01:41:30,291 --> 01:41:32,250
You won't be facing any more hardships.

1633
01:41:32,458 --> 01:41:34,125
The British have left, right?

1634
01:41:34,291 --> 01:41:35,541
In Independent India,

1635
01:41:35,625 --> 01:41:38,083
you will achieve your dreams
and live life like a king.

1636
01:41:38,166 --> 01:41:39,208
Thank you, sir.

1637
01:41:43,083 --> 01:41:45,083
Roll down the shutter.
I'm telling you to move back.

1638
01:41:45,166 --> 01:41:46,541
Everyone, step back.

1639
01:41:46,625 --> 01:41:47,916
Go back, all of you!

1640
01:41:50,375 --> 01:41:51,708
Sir, I need to talk to you.

1641
01:41:52,125 --> 01:41:53,166
I'll be right back.

1642
01:41:53,416 --> 01:41:54,875
- Come.
- What is it, Pillai?

1643
01:41:56,666 --> 01:41:59,500
They have sent a notice
to seal four of our factories.

1644
01:41:59,583 --> 01:42:00,541
Wretched fellows!

1645
01:42:00,625 --> 01:42:02,000
- What?
- Yes.

1646
01:42:02,083 --> 01:42:03,125
Not only that.

1647
01:42:03,375 --> 01:42:06,666
The no-objection certificate
we require to collaborate with Benz…

1648
01:42:06,833 --> 01:42:08,875
The IT Department has refused to give it.

1649
01:42:10,958 --> 01:42:12,000
What is this, Pillai?

1650
01:42:18,416 --> 01:42:20,208
I thought we were in for good times.

1651
01:42:23,083 --> 01:42:26,208
Can't we talk
to the government regarding this?

1652
01:42:26,583 --> 01:42:27,750
To this government?

1653
01:42:29,333 --> 01:42:33,291
I begged them for an Inquiry Commission
to prove

1654
01:42:33,375 --> 01:42:35,375
the tax penalties levied on me are fake.

1655
01:42:35,916 --> 01:42:37,250
But I got no response.

1656
01:42:38,583 --> 01:42:40,666
Now they have forcibly
shut down my factories

1657
01:42:40,750 --> 01:42:41,833
and sealed them.

1658
01:42:42,333 --> 01:42:44,166
What is the point of talking to them?

1659
01:43:02,875 --> 01:43:03,958
Hello?

1660
01:43:04,500 --> 01:43:05,875
- Hello, Mr. Naidu.
- Hello.

1661
01:43:05,958 --> 01:43:07,916
Hello, Mr. Rudolph. How are you?

1662
01:43:10,750 --> 01:43:15,208
<i>The letter you sent explaining</i>
<i>your situation reached us very late, sir.</i>

1663
01:43:16,000 --> 01:43:16,958
<i>We are very sorry.</i>

1664
01:43:19,250 --> 01:43:20,375
Thank you for your--

1665
01:43:20,458 --> 01:43:22,541
Thank you for your concern, Mr. Rudolph.

1666
01:43:23,083 --> 01:43:24,083
Thank you very much.

1667
01:43:25,250 --> 01:43:26,625
- Mr. Naidu.
- Yes?

1668
01:43:27,625 --> 01:43:32,041
<i>Mr. Rudolph expresses his regret</i>
<i>for failing to collaborate with you.</i>

1669
01:43:32,666 --> 01:43:35,125
<i>He is asking this out</i>
<i>of utmost regard for you.</i>

1670
01:43:35,541 --> 01:43:37,875
<i>Now that we are unable</i>
<i>to collaborate with you,</i>

1671
01:43:38,041 --> 01:43:41,750
<i>he's asking which Indian company</i>
<i>you can recommend for this.</i>

1672
01:43:43,791 --> 01:43:46,500
Thank you for the respect
you have for me, Mr. Rudolph.

1673
01:43:47,541 --> 01:43:48,666
Very kind of you.

1674
01:43:51,000 --> 01:43:52,333
According to me,

1675
01:43:53,416 --> 01:43:56,791
the right name to collaborate
with your company…

1676
01:43:58,333 --> 01:44:00,625
Tata Moto--
It's Tata Motors company.

1677
01:44:01,041 --> 01:44:02,083
Tata Motors.

1678
01:44:03,291 --> 01:44:04,958
Thank you very mu--
I wish you all the--

1679
01:44:05,041 --> 01:44:06,750
I wish you all the very best!

1680
01:44:09,000 --> 01:44:09,833
<i>Thank you.</i>

1681
01:44:25,083 --> 01:44:28,500
You know what a big deal it is
to manufacture Benz cars in Coimbatore?

1682
01:44:35,666 --> 01:44:39,708
…has been awarded
to Mr. G. Doraiswamy Naidu.

1683
01:44:40,041 --> 01:44:42,000
DAIMLER-BENZ PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANY

1684
01:45:22,208 --> 01:45:23,833
Where is this Ambalapara Krishnan?

1685
01:45:23,916 --> 01:45:24,958
Hey, Krishnan!

1686
01:45:25,375 --> 01:45:28,000
True to your word, you've robbed
our Naidu of his sleep.

1687
01:45:28,083 --> 01:45:29,041
Look here.

1688
01:45:29,125 --> 01:45:33,166
Sealing his factory or sneakily
withdrawing the Benz company order

1689
01:45:33,250 --> 01:45:34,833
is not why he lost his precious sleep!

1690
01:45:34,916 --> 01:45:37,291
Thousands of workers lost their jobs.

1691
01:45:37,375 --> 01:45:39,541
You hit them
where it hurt the most, you see.

1692
01:45:39,625 --> 01:45:41,333
That is why he lost his sleep!

1693
01:45:41,416 --> 01:45:45,041
As per the papers, your Naidu
has not paid tax for many years.

1694
01:45:45,125 --> 01:45:46,708
The day he pays up,

1695
01:45:46,791 --> 01:45:49,708
I will decide how to treat your Naidu!

1696
01:45:49,791 --> 01:45:51,958
Why do you keep harping "papers"
all the time?

1697
01:45:52,041 --> 01:45:55,333
The British wipe their butt
with that same paper!

1698
01:45:55,750 --> 01:45:57,708
I want to know.
Aren't you human too?

1699
01:45:57,833 --> 01:46:00,333
Thousands of people
lost their jobs because of you.

1700
01:46:00,416 --> 01:46:01,958
Won't your conscience nag you?

1701
01:46:02,041 --> 01:46:03,250
Won't it prick you?

1702
01:46:03,333 --> 01:46:04,458
I'll wait and watch.

1703
01:46:04,541 --> 01:46:06,166
Let me see how you sleep soundly.

1704
01:46:21,041 --> 01:46:22,791
Sir, don't worry.

1705
01:46:23,041 --> 01:46:25,000
All this time, you were with us.

1706
01:46:25,166 --> 01:46:27,708
No matter what you decide,
we will support you.

1707
01:46:27,791 --> 01:46:28,791
Yes, sir.

1708
01:46:28,875 --> 01:46:30,458
We are with you, sir.

1709
01:46:30,625 --> 01:46:32,166
Greetings to everyone.

1710
01:46:33,416 --> 01:46:35,125
We have done nothing wrong.

1711
01:46:36,541 --> 01:46:39,375
Those who are jealous of us
are trying to topple us down.

1712
01:46:40,000 --> 01:46:41,833
But if they close one door,

1713
01:46:42,416 --> 01:46:44,333
we will open a hundred more doors.

1714
01:46:45,125 --> 01:46:48,583
Those who go in search of opportunities
will feel bad if they don't succeed.

1715
01:46:48,666 --> 01:46:50,583
But to those who create opportunities,

1716
01:46:51,041 --> 01:46:53,000
the word "regret" never exists!

1717
01:46:53,791 --> 01:46:55,875
All of us belong to one family.

1718
01:46:56,666 --> 01:46:58,708
If our family faces a problem,

1719
01:46:58,958 --> 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
01:47:04,416 --> 01:47:07,083
Until our factories are opened again,

1722
01:47:07,333 --> 01:47:10,083
all of you will be paid your due salary!

1723
01:47:11,750 --> 01:47:13,000
You will have jobs too.

1724
01:47:14,791 --> 01:47:17,250
For the steel factory
to be set up in Podanur

1725
01:47:17,750 --> 01:47:20,958
and the car factory in Eachanari,
our boss has bought land, right?

1726
01:47:21,041 --> 01:47:24,583
We will turn those lands
into agricultural lands.

1727
01:47:25,083 --> 01:47:27,166
We will get knee-deep into farming.

1728
01:47:27,833 --> 01:47:31,500
We will create our own job opportunities.

1729
01:47:31,666 --> 01:47:32,791
- Mr. G. D. Naidu!
- Our pillar of strength!

1730
01:47:32,875 --> 01:47:34,041
- Mr. G. D. Naidu!
- Long live!

1731
01:47:34,125 --> 01:47:35,166
Mr. G. D. Naidu!

1732
01:47:35,250 --> 01:47:36,500
- Mr. G. D. Naidu!
- Our inspiration!

1733
01:47:36,583 --> 01:47:37,625
Mr. G. D. Naidu!

1734
01:47:37,708 --> 01:47:39,250
- Mr. G. D. Naidu!
- Our beacon of light!

1735
01:47:39,333 --> 01:47:41,041
- Mr. G. D. Naidu!
- Long live!

1736
01:47:44,833 --> 01:47:46,041
How unfair, sir!

1737
01:47:47,625 --> 01:47:49,083
In India, for the first time
in Coimbatore,

1738
01:47:49,166 --> 01:47:51,416
Mercedes-Benz factory
should have been set up.

1739
01:47:52,458 --> 01:47:54,041
We lost that golden legacy, sir.

1740
01:47:55,083 --> 01:47:57,250
We missed a glorious chapter in history.

1741
01:47:58,125 --> 01:47:59,875
It would have created a revolution.

1742
01:48:03,125 --> 01:48:06,125
Our own people crushed
Naidu's dream, sir.

1743
01:48:07,583 --> 01:48:08,708
Why feel bad, madam?

1744
01:48:08,833 --> 01:48:11,458
If one business is closed,
he launches a new venture.

1745
01:48:11,791 --> 01:48:13,541
As soon as the Benz contract
slipped from his hand,

1746
01:48:13,625 --> 01:48:15,750
he turned the very same land
into a productive farmland.

1747
01:48:15,833 --> 01:48:17,625
{\an8}Even the British couldn't do anything.

1748
01:48:17,708 --> 01:48:19,333
{\an8}How can our politicians stop him?

1749
01:48:19,708 --> 01:48:20,708
{\an8}But they did.

1750
01:48:22,625 --> 01:48:26,416
{\an8}After plotting for eight years, they
finally unleashed their ultimate weapon.

1751
01:48:29,208 --> 01:48:32,041
EIGHT YEARS LATER

1752
01:48:33,708 --> 01:48:37,250
All I wanted was to secure
that automobile contract for myself.

1753
01:48:38,000 --> 01:48:40,416
But Naidu gave it on a platter
to someone else.

1754
01:48:41,416 --> 01:48:44,833
The amount of hardship I am
going through because of him…

1755
01:48:46,541 --> 01:48:49,458
He must suffer a thousandfold or more

1756
01:48:51,166 --> 01:48:52,791
and end up on the streets.

1757
01:48:53,791 --> 01:48:55,375
To complete this task,

1758
01:48:55,458 --> 01:48:57,958
Krishnan has been promoted
to a dummy officer.

1759
01:48:58,166 --> 01:49:00,375
I have given you power
that goes with your position.

1760
01:49:00,458 --> 01:49:02,500
I have given the money you wanted too.

1761
01:49:04,916 --> 01:49:05,958
Killi.

1762
01:49:06,458 --> 01:49:08,708
- How many children do you have?
- Three, sir.

1763
01:49:09,583 --> 01:49:11,708
Make sure they do not end up as orphans!

1764
01:49:16,958 --> 01:49:17,916
Sir?

1765
01:49:18,583 --> 01:49:20,000
You have entrusted it to me.

1766
01:49:20,458 --> 01:49:21,875
I will not break your trust.

1767
01:49:24,250 --> 01:49:26,916
Sir. They plan to confiscate
80 percent of his assets?

1768
01:49:27,041 --> 01:49:28,083
Yes.

1769
01:49:29,291 --> 01:49:31,250
Even if they charge
atrocious amounts of interest,

1770
01:49:31,333 --> 01:49:33,750
even if his penalty is genuine,

1771
01:49:35,000 --> 01:49:38,875
we can legally seize
only 13 percent of his assets.

1772
01:49:40,416 --> 01:49:42,291
Sir, how is this fair by any standard?

1773
01:49:43,666 --> 01:49:44,666
Mohan.

1774
01:49:45,125 --> 01:49:47,541
The system I respected
with all my heart…

1775
01:49:48,041 --> 01:49:51,208
The papers I signed with due respect…

1776
01:49:52,333 --> 01:49:54,375
They have tarnished everything totally.

1777
01:49:55,500 --> 01:49:57,708
<i>Tampering with the account documents,</i>

1778
01:49:59,083 --> 01:50:02,333
<i>fabricating a link between</i>
<i>Naidu and the Nazis,</i>

1779
01:50:02,416 --> 01:50:05,208
<i>foisting a false case without</i>
<i>a shred of shame or regret,</i>

1780
01:50:05,500 --> 01:50:08,208
<i>burning all his legal documents</i>
<i>using phosphorus…</i>

1781
01:50:10,041 --> 01:50:13,541
<i>They needed a Perunkilli</i>
<i>to do all their dirty work!</i>

1782
01:50:15,083 --> 01:50:17,625
Sir, because of the atrocities
within our department,

1783
01:50:17,708 --> 01:50:21,291
I don't feel it is right for someone
like Naidu to bear the brunt of it.

1784
01:50:22,583 --> 01:50:24,166
We should take some action, sir.

1785
01:50:26,208 --> 01:50:27,291
Whatever is on paper,

1786
01:50:27,666 --> 01:50:29,875
I am used to executing only those orders.

1787
01:50:30,541 --> 01:50:32,333
My life has become like that.

1788
01:50:33,416 --> 01:50:35,333
Whatever you think is prim and proper,

1789
01:50:35,500 --> 01:50:36,666
please carry it out.

1790
01:50:38,416 --> 01:50:39,500
Sir?

1791
01:50:40,291 --> 01:50:41,416
Mohan.

1792
01:50:41,750 --> 01:50:44,000
Whatever you think is correct…

1793
01:50:44,083 --> 01:50:45,958
Execute it exactly like that.

1794
01:51:46,208 --> 01:51:48,291
They have decided
to destroy me completely.

1795
01:51:49,666 --> 01:51:51,500
First, they snatched
my dream from me.

1796
01:51:52,708 --> 01:51:54,625
Now they are targeting my assets.

1797
01:52:13,458 --> 01:52:14,458
Sir?

1798
01:52:14,541 --> 01:52:18,041
What are you doing, sir? Why are
you planting a bomb in our own office?

1799
01:52:19,333 --> 01:52:21,458
They are coming
to seize the building, right?

1800
01:52:21,541 --> 01:52:23,333
Then they need a building to do so.

1801
01:52:23,583 --> 01:52:24,750
- Sundaram?
- Sir.

1802
01:52:24,833 --> 01:52:26,291
Don't even ask me permission.

1803
01:52:26,666 --> 01:52:29,500
If they come to confiscate my property,
ask our people to evacuate.

1804
01:52:29,583 --> 01:52:31,416
Then press this, understood?

1805
01:52:31,541 --> 01:52:33,250
- Sir?
- Please.

1806
01:52:34,375 --> 01:52:36,000
Don't ask me questions, Sundaram.

1807
01:52:36,083 --> 01:52:37,208
Just do as I say.

1808
01:52:42,166 --> 01:52:44,583
- This is for you.
- Everyone, help yourself.

1809
01:52:44,708 --> 01:52:46,583
Please take it!

1810
01:52:46,666 --> 01:52:48,208
Take it.

1811
01:52:48,333 --> 01:52:51,083
Take this for your daughter's wedding.

1812
01:52:51,166 --> 01:52:52,875
Everyone, help yourself.

1813
01:52:54,250 --> 01:52:55,416
Enjoy, be happy.

1814
01:52:56,208 --> 01:52:59,166
Your daughter is getting married.
Spend this for her.

1815
01:52:59,333 --> 01:53:02,750
Invest this in your daughter's name.
Keep this for your son's education.

1816
01:53:02,833 --> 01:53:04,041
Keep this.

1817
01:53:04,166 --> 01:53:06,625
Sir, why are you giving away
all your title deeds?

1818
01:53:06,916 --> 01:53:08,625
Are you from
the Income Tax department?

1819
01:53:08,708 --> 01:53:09,708
I have paid my tax.

1820
01:53:09,791 --> 01:53:10,833
- Go…
- Sir.

1821
01:53:15,083 --> 01:53:16,791
<i>The revered father of our city.</i>

1822
01:53:16,875 --> 01:53:21,958
<i>Mr. G. D. Naidu plans to smash</i>
<i>and break all his inventions.</i>

1823
01:53:23,250 --> 01:53:25,166
<i>Assemble to witness</i>
<i>this rare event.</i>

1824
01:53:25,250 --> 01:53:26,875
<i>Welcome one and all.</i>

1825
01:53:26,958 --> 01:53:28,000
<i>Entry is free.</i>

1826
01:53:28,083 --> 01:53:29,250
<i>All are welcome.</i>

1827
01:53:52,541 --> 01:53:54,416
Stop… Enough!

1828
01:53:56,458 --> 01:53:57,875
Hope you are all doing good?

1829
01:53:58,541 --> 01:54:00,458
You know how happy I am
to see all of you here?

1830
01:54:00,541 --> 01:54:03,625
The same pictures on your shirt
are on my sari too.

1831
01:54:03,791 --> 01:54:05,708
Hero, heroine, celebrities…

1832
01:54:06,000 --> 01:54:08,833
Cinema news, local gossip,
juicy rumors, everything…

1833
01:54:09,875 --> 01:54:11,000
Looks beautiful, no?

1834
01:54:11,916 --> 01:54:13,458
But when I went to Japan,

1835
01:54:13,541 --> 01:54:18,875
naive, ill-informed students had Physics
and Chemistry formulas on their shirts.

1836
01:54:19,000 --> 01:54:21,166
Periodic table, mechanical drawing,

1837
01:54:21,250 --> 01:54:23,000
the world map too.
Height of aesthetic sense!

1838
01:54:23,083 --> 01:54:24,375
Those Japanese students.

1839
01:54:24,458 --> 01:54:25,541
Look at all of you.

1840
01:54:25,750 --> 01:54:27,541
Actors and dancers on your t-shirts!

1841
01:54:28,541 --> 01:54:30,250
Buzzing with vibrant vibes.

1842
01:54:30,500 --> 01:54:32,583
You are the next generation
of our nation.

1843
01:54:32,750 --> 01:54:34,375
Makes me feel so proud!

1844
01:54:37,541 --> 01:54:40,750
I stupidly thought this would be
a useful item for you and I brought it.

1845
01:54:40,833 --> 01:54:42,083
Shall I break that first?

1846
01:54:42,208 --> 01:54:43,875
Huh? Come… come along.

1847
01:54:54,000 --> 01:54:55,250
Play now!

1848
01:56:01,041 --> 01:56:02,250
Stop the music!

1849
01:56:02,666 --> 01:56:03,791
Dorai!

1850
01:56:04,791 --> 01:56:05,875
Stop it!

1851
01:56:07,291 --> 01:56:09,541
Listen to me! Dorai!

1852
01:56:10,750 --> 01:56:11,875
Stop it, Dorai!

1853
01:56:50,250 --> 01:56:51,083
Mom.

1854
01:56:58,666 --> 01:56:59,541
Mom.

1855
01:56:59,958 --> 01:57:01,875
He has given away everything he owned.

1856
01:57:04,208 --> 01:57:07,041
He has given away the buses
to drivers and conductors.

1857
01:57:08,375 --> 01:57:11,083
He has given all the title deeds
to passers-by, Mom.

1858
01:57:13,583 --> 01:57:16,375
People are saying
that he has lost his mind.

1859
01:57:17,500 --> 01:57:18,666
I feel terrible.

1860
01:57:35,250 --> 01:57:38,583
You know that my dream is to build
a 5-star hotel in Madras.

1861
01:57:39,666 --> 01:57:41,708
I went to Delhi and met
the concerned architect.

1862
01:57:41,791 --> 01:57:44,625
I have even got the license
to import the fixtures for the hotel.

1863
01:57:44,708 --> 01:57:48,208
But you gave away the land to others
without even telling me.

1864
01:57:50,833 --> 01:57:55,458
Your father gave his word to Periyar that
he'd give that land to Adithanar, Gopal.

1865
01:57:55,541 --> 01:57:56,833
What about his word to me?

1866
01:57:56,916 --> 01:57:58,458
Mr. Gopal, forgive me.

1867
01:57:59,291 --> 01:58:01,125
I didn't know it was your land!

1868
01:58:04,208 --> 01:58:05,125
Hey!

1869
01:58:05,750 --> 01:58:08,041
You have no right
to ask me such questions.

1870
01:58:11,208 --> 01:58:15,291
That land was bought by my hard work
and my earnings.

1871
01:58:15,708 --> 01:58:18,333
I will give it whenever
and to whomever I please.

1872
01:58:18,458 --> 01:58:19,666
Understand?

1873
01:58:23,250 --> 01:58:24,208
True.

1874
01:58:24,291 --> 01:58:25,916
He did everything.

1875
01:58:26,291 --> 01:58:27,625
We did not help in any way.

1876
01:58:29,291 --> 01:58:32,250
As far as you are concerned,
this world revolves around you.

1877
01:58:32,583 --> 01:58:38,000
Do you know how selfish it is to expect
everyone to follow your whims and wishes?

1878
01:58:38,458 --> 01:58:42,583
Didn't we put up with all the mad deeds
you carried out in front of everyone?

1879
01:58:43,875 --> 01:58:44,875
Why, may I ask?

1880
01:58:45,000 --> 01:58:48,333
Can't your near and dear ones
have their own dreams or aims in life?

1881
01:58:49,125 --> 01:58:52,208
Our son curses himself daily
for being born in a family like this.

1882
01:58:52,291 --> 01:58:53,416
You behave so badly.

1883
01:58:53,875 --> 01:58:55,625
- Mom…
- Hey! Shut up.

1884
01:59:00,375 --> 01:59:02,708
Gopal has the right to dream too.

1885
01:59:04,500 --> 01:59:05,750
Knowing your true nature,

1886
01:59:05,833 --> 01:59:09,083
your first wife, Chellamma, left you
thanking God for her freedom.

1887
01:59:10,125 --> 01:59:12,125
Harsh reality is dawning on me only now.

1888
01:59:18,166 --> 01:59:21,375
I do not wish to live with you any longer.

1889
01:59:25,083 --> 01:59:26,416
I want a divorce.

1890
01:59:34,208 --> 01:59:37,875
If you are able to, make the necessary
arrangements for my divorce.

1891
01:59:40,666 --> 01:59:42,166
Otherwise I can handle it.

1892
02:00:22,583 --> 02:00:24,666
"For more than 30 years,

1893
02:00:24,750 --> 02:00:29,875
Mr. G. Doraiswamy Naidu has not remitted
the tax payable to the Government."

1894
02:00:30,125 --> 02:00:34,000
"The outstanding tax amount, along
with the applicable interest and penalties

1895
02:00:34,083 --> 02:00:38,208
should be paid within 60 days
from the date of this notice."

1896
02:00:38,500 --> 02:00:41,291
"Non-compliance
within the stipulated period

1897
02:00:41,375 --> 02:00:44,250
will lead to the confiscation
of 80 percent of his assets

1898
02:00:44,333 --> 02:00:49,500
on the 90th day from the date
of this notice--"

1899
02:00:49,583 --> 02:00:51,416
- Sir?
- Mohan.

1900
02:00:51,833 --> 02:00:53,041
Continue to type.

1901
02:00:53,291 --> 02:00:54,916
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
02:00:58,541 --> 02:01:02,625
"Action will be taken
to confiscate 80 percent of his assets."

1904
02:01:02,833 --> 02:01:06,458
"We hereby give you a final warning
through this notice."

1905
02:01:07,416 --> 02:01:08,625
Type his name.

1906
02:01:08,916 --> 02:01:10,208
Don't forget the seal.

1907
02:01:10,541 --> 02:01:12,166
Sir, sign the order.

1908
02:01:31,875 --> 02:01:35,833
To compensate for all your unpaid taxes
and penalties,

1909
02:01:35,916 --> 02:01:38,458
the government will confiscate
80 percent of all your assets.

1910
02:01:38,541 --> 02:01:39,833
Here's the official order.

1911
02:01:40,083 --> 02:01:42,250
Hand over all your title deeds
and documents, sir.

1912
02:01:42,333 --> 02:01:44,208
52 documents in total.

1913
02:01:44,958 --> 02:01:45,958
Pillai.

1914
02:01:46,791 --> 02:01:48,458
Give them what they want.

1915
02:01:49,166 --> 02:01:50,041
Okay.

1916
02:01:50,833 --> 02:01:52,083
Wait, I'll be back.

1917
02:02:08,041 --> 02:02:10,458
Only two documents are here.
What about the rest?

1918
02:02:11,166 --> 02:02:15,541
As the years sped by,
Mrs. Naidu got mad at his mad doings

1919
02:02:16,541 --> 02:02:17,916
and filed for divorce.

1920
02:02:21,416 --> 02:02:23,416
Your wife has filed a petition
for divorce.

1921
02:02:23,500 --> 02:02:24,833
Do you accept it?

1922
02:02:26,041 --> 02:02:27,958
- I do.
- Your wife

1923
02:02:28,208 --> 02:02:31,416
has asked for 98 percent
of your assets as alimony.

1924
02:02:31,833 --> 02:02:33,250
Are you willing to give it?

1925
02:02:34,958 --> 02:02:36,041
I agree.

1926
02:02:36,791 --> 02:02:39,166
Doesn't matter if she filed for a divorce.

1927
02:02:39,375 --> 02:02:44,208
She claimed an alimony amounting
to 98 percent of Naidu's assets.

1928
02:02:55,833 --> 02:02:59,375
You are answering clearly after
understanding everything I asked, right?

1929
02:03:00,875 --> 02:03:01,750
Yes.

1930
02:03:02,708 --> 02:03:04,958
Divorce granted.

1931
02:03:05,333 --> 02:03:06,875
Alimony settled.

1932
02:03:07,666 --> 02:03:08,958
Case closed.

1933
02:03:13,208 --> 02:03:14,958
We had no other place to live, sir.

1934
02:03:15,500 --> 02:03:17,916
This forest land of 30 acres
was all we had left.

1935
02:03:18,250 --> 02:03:19,583
And this thatched hut.

1936
02:03:20,166 --> 02:03:23,125
You have come to seize 80 percent of this.

1937
02:03:24,125 --> 02:03:25,791
Take the wood land around us.

1938
02:03:26,041 --> 02:03:27,666
If you leave the hut for us to survive,

1939
02:03:27,750 --> 02:03:31,541
it will be useful for both of us to relax
stretching our feet in our old age.

1940
02:03:34,583 --> 02:03:36,958
This is the divorce document.

1941
02:03:38,000 --> 02:03:40,625
This is the partition deed.

1942
02:03:55,166 --> 02:03:56,166
Killi.

1943
02:03:57,000 --> 02:03:58,208
You got what you wanted.

1944
02:03:58,875 --> 02:03:59,791
Let's head back.

1945
02:04:09,083 --> 02:04:10,083
One minute.

1946
02:04:12,625 --> 02:04:14,625
After we sent you the income tax notice,

1947
02:04:14,708 --> 02:04:17,375
you can't divide your assets
even if you get divorced.

1948
02:04:17,583 --> 02:04:18,875
It is against the law.

1949
02:04:27,583 --> 02:04:30,375
Your mad antics made us
the laughing stock of everyone.

1950
02:04:30,875 --> 02:04:32,416
We have teenagers at home.

1951
02:04:32,625 --> 02:04:34,333
How can we face our society?

1952
02:04:35,458 --> 02:04:36,958
You already have grandchildren.

1953
02:04:37,041 --> 02:04:39,083
At this age, you have
divorced each other.

1954
02:04:39,625 --> 02:04:42,541
If you can't see eye to eye,
adjust within these four walls.

1955
02:05:04,375 --> 02:05:05,375
Proprietress.

1956
02:05:07,666 --> 02:05:09,583
After sharing my life all these years,

1957
02:05:10,416 --> 02:05:13,458
if you abandon me on the streets,
where can I go?

1958
02:05:21,083 --> 02:05:22,208
We are leaving.

1959
02:05:22,833 --> 02:05:26,041
At this age, we do not have to go
through this kind of heartache.

1960
02:05:27,000 --> 02:05:28,833
Lost all your assets
out of sheer stubbornness.

1961
02:05:28,916 --> 02:05:30,541
Committed high-handed outrageous acts.

1962
02:05:30,625 --> 02:05:32,750
Also got labeled as a lunatic by everyone.

1963
02:05:32,875 --> 02:05:35,916
You divorced Ranganayaki and now why
come and stand pathetically here?

1964
02:05:36,000 --> 02:05:39,041
Did you ever once spare a thought
for your family, Doraiswamy?

1965
02:05:42,250 --> 02:05:43,666
Why are you upset, dear?

1966
02:05:43,750 --> 02:05:44,708
Don't cry.

1967
02:05:57,791 --> 02:05:58,833
What is happening here?

1968
02:05:58,916 --> 02:06:01,583
Is his madness infectious?
You are as mad as he is now.

1969
02:06:02,375 --> 02:06:03,791
I can't contain myself.

1970
02:06:04,291 --> 02:06:05,708
You tell them, dear.

1971
02:06:06,916 --> 02:06:10,250
You could have held back your laughter
a little while longer, right?

1972
02:06:12,500 --> 02:06:14,458
You burst into a cackle too soon.

1973
02:06:16,416 --> 02:06:18,625
Only you can act this well.

1974
02:06:18,750 --> 02:06:20,458
I can't compete with you, dear.

1975
02:06:26,541 --> 02:06:28,250
Dad, what is all this drama?

1976
02:06:31,958 --> 02:06:32,916
Hey!

1977
02:06:33,458 --> 02:06:35,125
What did you think of your father?

1978
02:07:08,250 --> 02:07:09,375
I want a divorce.

1979
02:07:09,958 --> 02:07:11,958
Divorce… granted.

1980
02:07:12,625 --> 02:07:14,166
Alimony… settled.

1981
02:07:22,333 --> 02:07:24,375
Listen, I think I'll go crazy!

1982
02:07:26,166 --> 02:07:27,208
My dear uncle.

1983
02:07:27,916 --> 02:07:32,208
The government issued a notice to seize
80 percent of my hard-earned money.

1984
02:07:32,750 --> 02:07:38,875
In return, I gave them a notice
that Ranganayaki and I got divorced.

1985
02:07:40,083 --> 02:07:43,291
This notice also holds legally, right?

1986
02:07:45,291 --> 02:07:49,041
They tried to destroy me
with mere paperwork.

1987
02:07:49,583 --> 02:07:53,333
In response, I turned the same paper
into my weapon

1988
02:07:53,791 --> 02:07:55,833
and razed their conspiracy to the ground.

1989
02:07:58,125 --> 02:08:00,000
Sir, I checked the documents.

1990
02:08:00,291 --> 02:08:03,916
They got divorced
one week before we served the notice.

1991
02:08:05,125 --> 02:08:06,250
How is that possible?

1992
02:08:13,958 --> 02:08:14,875
Killi.

1993
02:08:16,083 --> 02:08:17,291
Can we leave now?

1994
02:08:20,250 --> 02:08:21,125
Come on.

1995
02:08:28,875 --> 02:08:29,916
Dumbo.

1996
02:08:30,250 --> 02:08:31,291
Huh?

1997
02:08:31,791 --> 02:08:33,125
How dare you call me a dumbo?

1998
02:08:33,208 --> 02:08:35,541
For calling a government officer a fool,
I can file a case against--

1999
02:08:35,625 --> 02:08:37,208
Sir… Sir, hold on.

2000
02:08:37,458 --> 02:08:38,916
He didn't mean you.

2001
02:08:39,125 --> 02:08:41,250
His favorite pet dog.

2002
02:08:41,333 --> 02:08:42,625
We call him Dumbo.

2003
02:08:43,916 --> 02:08:45,166
Dumbo, come here.

2004
02:08:46,333 --> 02:08:47,291
You can leave.

2005
02:08:47,625 --> 02:08:48,541
Dumbo?

2006
02:08:52,125 --> 02:08:53,208
Hey!

2007
02:08:54,041 --> 02:08:57,833
Did you think you had a bone
in your mouth?

2008
02:08:59,291 --> 02:09:01,250
That is just an ordinary stick.

2009
02:09:08,625 --> 02:09:09,791
Come, Pillai.

2010
02:09:14,541 --> 02:09:16,416
What? Don't you understand?

2011
02:09:17,541 --> 02:09:18,541
Simple.

2012
02:09:18,916 --> 02:09:24,916
Which law stipulates a divorced couple
cannot live under the same roof?

2013
02:09:31,791 --> 02:09:35,125
The assets I earned by shedding
my blood, sweat and tears…

2014
02:09:36,291 --> 02:09:39,208
The tender love and care
of my family and bloodline…

2015
02:09:40,208 --> 02:09:44,000
Neither paper nor any man can negate
or invalidate it!

2016
02:09:45,250 --> 02:09:46,375
My dear son, Dorai.

2017
02:09:46,458 --> 02:09:47,791
You are not G. D. Naidu.

2018
02:09:47,875 --> 02:09:49,125
You are Genius Naidu!

2019
02:09:51,416 --> 02:09:54,083
Naidu, all of you smile.

2020
02:10:00,750 --> 02:10:02,916
A FEW YEARS LATER

2021
02:10:11,083 --> 02:10:12,000
Sir.

2022
02:10:12,875 --> 02:10:14,000
Sir.

2023
02:10:14,125 --> 02:10:15,458
Here's the sacred offering.

2024
02:10:16,291 --> 02:10:17,333
Priest.

2025
02:10:17,416 --> 02:10:19,833
Pack that offering in a paper for him.

2026
02:10:20,375 --> 02:10:23,083
Whatever it is,
he likes to see it on paper!

2027
02:10:25,458 --> 02:10:26,333
Oh, God..

2028
02:10:27,208 --> 02:10:28,291
Thank you, sir.

2029
02:10:28,750 --> 02:10:29,666
Gayathri.

2030
02:10:38,250 --> 02:10:41,416
You have never liked me, right?

2031
02:10:44,083 --> 02:10:46,291
As Income Tax officer Krishnan,

2032
02:10:47,000 --> 02:10:49,958
I have never neglected my duty
in my entire career.

2033
02:10:51,041 --> 02:10:53,375
The same holds true in your case too,
Mr. Naidu.

2034
02:10:54,500 --> 02:10:57,416
What I couldn't tell you
as an Income Tax officer,

2035
02:10:57,916 --> 02:10:59,208
I would like to share now.

2036
02:11:00,916 --> 02:11:05,041
I am and will always be your ardent fan

2037
02:11:06,000 --> 02:11:09,666
for all your ingenious inventions
and the way you respect your profession.

2038
02:11:12,083 --> 02:11:13,208
I have retired now.

2039
02:11:14,416 --> 02:11:16,875
Happily retired
with a sense of total fulfillment.

2040
02:11:18,625 --> 02:11:20,333
Can I ask you something now?

2041
02:11:21,000 --> 02:11:23,291
That penalty is a pittance to you.

2042
02:11:23,541 --> 02:11:26,625
If only you had paid it promptly
and been done with it,

2043
02:11:27,375 --> 02:11:30,958
you would have reached greater heights
in your business than you have now.

2044
02:11:31,041 --> 02:11:32,083
How many people…

2045
02:11:32,166 --> 02:11:33,958
How many people would have benefited?

2046
02:11:34,041 --> 02:11:38,166
You could have done much more
than your current service to the nation.

2047
02:11:38,333 --> 02:11:39,666
Am I right, Mr. Naidu?

2048
02:11:41,583 --> 02:11:42,791
Mr. Krishnan.

2049
02:11:43,375 --> 02:11:46,958
Personally, you hold me
in such high regard.

2050
02:11:47,458 --> 02:11:51,791
I am fully aware of the extra efforts
you took to save me in my times of crisis.

2051
02:11:54,333 --> 02:11:55,916
What you told me just now…

2052
02:11:56,750 --> 02:11:58,625
Even if your action was justified,

2053
02:11:59,083 --> 02:12:01,166
the ethics are debatable.

2054
02:12:02,583 --> 02:12:03,666
Shall I elaborate?

2055
02:12:05,125 --> 02:12:06,541
At one time, in our motherland,

2056
02:12:06,625 --> 02:12:10,708
art, culture, science, medicine,
trade and commerce,

2057
02:12:11,125 --> 02:12:13,291
astrology, astronomy, philosophy…

2058
02:12:13,916 --> 02:12:15,291
Peaceful life…

2059
02:12:15,375 --> 02:12:18,250
Flourished as examples
for the entire world.

2060
02:12:19,666 --> 02:12:21,875
Foreigners invaded our land
with their armies

2061
02:12:22,333 --> 02:12:23,500
and when they left,

2062
02:12:23,875 --> 02:12:26,208
they did not loot only our riches
and resources.

2063
02:12:27,791 --> 02:12:29,416
But also our cultural heritage,

2064
02:12:30,166 --> 02:12:31,416
system of education,

2065
02:12:31,833 --> 02:12:33,125
our identity…

2066
02:12:33,666 --> 02:12:35,208
They made us forget everything.

2067
02:12:38,458 --> 02:12:40,708
But they did something
even more atrocious.

2068
02:12:42,666 --> 02:12:46,375
The feeling of solidarity
as inhabitants of the same soil…

2069
02:12:47,041 --> 02:12:48,541
They eradicated it completely.

2070
02:12:49,833 --> 02:12:52,416
Religion, language,
caste discrimination…

2071
02:12:52,625 --> 02:12:55,166
They planted these poisonous seeds
deep into our soil and left.

2072
02:12:55,250 --> 02:12:57,666
That has grown into a dense forest today.

2073
02:12:59,250 --> 02:13:01,583
How to raze that forest to the ground?

2074
02:13:02,041 --> 02:13:05,250
That will be the biggest challenge
for the now-independent India.

2075
02:13:07,166 --> 02:13:09,500
But let me tell you
something now, Mr. Krishnan.

2076
02:13:11,958 --> 02:13:16,500
A sudden generation will rise
to destroy that forest.

2077
02:13:17,500 --> 02:13:20,833
They will be a force to reckon with
in ways beyond our expectations.

2078
02:13:22,291 --> 02:13:24,291
To that breed of enlightened young minds,

2079
02:13:24,375 --> 02:13:27,625
religion, language, caste, color
will hold no significance at all.

2080
02:13:29,333 --> 02:13:33,333
This world will look up
to the changes that they bring.

2081
02:13:34,750 --> 02:13:37,541
The world will applaud
with absolute awe and affection.

2082
02:13:41,166 --> 02:13:42,750
To that progressive generation,

2083
02:13:43,166 --> 02:13:44,583
on hindsight,

2084
02:13:45,750 --> 02:13:48,791
how can I set a bad example
to them, Krishnan?

2085
02:13:50,916 --> 02:13:53,500
Just for my personal efforts
and selfish gains,

2086
02:13:54,166 --> 02:13:59,916
if I had paid up the wrong tax
imposed by those wretched Britishers,

2087
02:14:01,000 --> 02:14:02,458
it would mean
that I had compromised my principles

2088
02:14:02,541 --> 02:14:04,333
and given in to their unfair policy.

2089
02:14:07,458 --> 02:14:11,791
You would have retired as an officer
with clean hands and integrity intact.

2090
02:14:13,375 --> 02:14:16,916
But the palm of my hand
would have been stained!

2091
02:14:18,333 --> 02:14:20,416
In what way is that
fair or just, Krishnan?

2092
02:14:21,833 --> 02:14:23,916
I don't want that story
as part of history.

2093
02:14:24,708 --> 02:14:27,750
The way you are retiring
with total fulfillment,

2094
02:14:28,916 --> 02:14:30,750
my heart is filled
with the same contentment.

2095
02:14:30,833 --> 02:14:34,333
With my head held high and a strong
sense of pride, I stand before you.

2096
02:14:37,416 --> 02:14:38,875
Tell me now, Mr. Krishnan.

2097
02:14:40,875 --> 02:14:41,916
Am I right?

2098
02:14:48,416 --> 02:14:49,875
Oh, no! Not my feet!

2099
02:14:50,750 --> 02:14:51,916
Come here.

2100
02:15:25,625 --> 02:15:26,666
Sir.

2101
02:15:26,750 --> 02:15:29,583
Do our nation's politicians
lack complete foresight?

2102
02:15:30,458 --> 02:15:33,416
No aspirations for our country
to progress and prosper, sir?

2103
02:15:34,708 --> 02:15:37,541
G. D. Naidu was a visionary
in every aspect, sir.

2104
02:15:38,125 --> 02:15:40,791
<i>The first electric motor in India</i>
<i>was invented by him.</i>

2105
02:15:41,166 --> 02:15:43,458
<i>He founded the first polytechnic college.</i>

2106
02:15:43,958 --> 02:15:46,541
<i>He pioneered a revolution</i>
<i>in agricultural yields.</i>

2107
02:15:47,083 --> 02:15:50,083
<i>He introduced people to the healing power</i>
<i>of Siddha medicine.</i>

2108
02:15:50,458 --> 02:15:55,291
<i>A practical engineering curriculum</i>
<i>can be completed in just two years.</i>

2109
02:15:55,500 --> 02:15:57,583
<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
02:16:01,708 --> 02:16:04,750
and painted him to be a villain
in the eyes of the world, sir.

2112
02:16:07,000 --> 02:16:10,083
They have branded
such a noble man as a traitor?

2113
02:16:11,333 --> 02:16:12,333
If that is the case,

2114
02:16:12,458 --> 02:16:14,125
Mr. Gandhi, Mr. Ambedkar,

2115
02:16:14,208 --> 02:16:15,458
eminent political leaders,

2116
02:16:15,541 --> 02:16:16,750
renowned scientists,

2117
02:16:16,833 --> 02:16:19,000
celebrated thinkers,
revered religious leaders…

2118
02:16:19,083 --> 02:16:22,708
Would they have visited his house
as guests if he had been a traitor, sir?

2119
02:16:23,708 --> 02:16:27,041
All these years, we've been living
in a state of blissful ignorance.

2120
02:16:27,833 --> 02:16:30,583
We have been reading
distorted versions of history, sir.

2121
02:16:31,375 --> 02:16:32,583
I feel ashamed, sir.

2122
02:16:33,458 --> 02:16:34,500
Humiliated.

2123
02:16:49,166 --> 02:16:50,333
Even after knowing all this,

2124
02:16:50,416 --> 02:16:53,500
if we don't include the history
of G. D. Naidu in our syllabus,

2125
02:16:53,833 --> 02:16:55,333
history will never forgive us.

2126
02:16:57,166 --> 02:16:58,250
Ms. Padmavathi.

2127
02:16:59,375 --> 02:17:00,625
Please pardon us.

2128
02:17:07,291 --> 02:17:08,708
{\an8}DEPARTMENT OF SCHOOL EDUCATION
GOVERNMENT OF TAMILNADU

2129
02:17:11,375 --> 02:17:12,416
I'll take leave, sir.

2130
02:17:13,125 --> 02:17:14,208
Excuse me.

2131
02:17:17,250 --> 02:17:19,666
Are you related to G. D. Naidu?

2132
02:17:22,791 --> 02:17:23,625
No, sir.

2133
02:17:23,916 --> 02:17:26,125
My father is a retired Income Tax Officer.

2134
02:17:27,500 --> 02:17:28,583
His name is…

2135
02:17:30,458 --> 02:17:31,750
Ambalapara Krishnan.
