1960 EACHANARI, COIMBATORE
2
00:01:43,083 --> 00:01:45,957
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 --> 00:01:51,915
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 --> 00:01:59,290
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 --> 00:02:06,832
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 --> 00:02:46,874
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 --> 00:02:50,790
{\an8}Even if one member doesn't sign,
the syllabus won't be approved.
22
00:02:50,791 --> 00:02:54,665
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 --> 00:03:03,332
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 --> 00:03:10,165
Sir, for the salary we earn
30
00:03:10,166 --> 00:03:13,290
and the snacks we eat here, we should be
at least a little bit fair, right?
31
00:03:13,291 --> 00:03:15,665
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 --> 00:03:29,290
He cheated the government
without paying taxes.
37
00:03:29,291 --> 00:03:32,665
In his old age, he went crazy
and bombed his own building.
38
00:03:32,666 --> 00:03:35,332
He is a thief, a terrorist and a lunatic.
39
00:03:35,333 --> 00:03:36,915
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 --> 00:03:42,082
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 --> 00:03:45,874
He didn't even complete Grade Three
in school.
44
00:03:45,875 --> 00:03:49,040
{\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 --> 00:03:53,874
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 --> 00:04:22,999
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
G. D. N.
G. D. NAIDU'S BIOGRAPHY
61
00:04:53,541 --> 00:04:57,208
1914 KALANGAL, COIMBATORE
62
00:05:00,583 --> 00:05:06,416
{\an8}You are the rhythm
My dreams longed to find
63
00:05:07,708 --> 00:05:13,500
{\an8}You awakened the music in my heart
64
00:05:14,541 --> 00:05:18,041
{\an8}I lived all alone in a town unknown…
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 --> 00:05:29,499
{\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 --> 00:06:21,332
Our cart moves only when
two strong bulls pull it.
85
00:06:21,333 --> 00:06:23,374
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 --> 00:08:05,749
{\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 --> 00:08:14,540
{\an8}When I look at you, love is in the air
119
00:08:14,541 --> 00:08:17,500
{\an8}A wondrous spell beyond compare
120
00:08:18,041 --> 00:08:21,790
{\an8}Without you near, my smiles fade
121
00:08:21,791 --> 00:08:24,915
{\an8}My heart is lost in sorrow's shade
122
00:08:24,916 --> 00:08:26,999
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 --> 00:08:35,999
Let's continue with our work.
127
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,624
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 --> 00:08:46,415
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 --> 00:08:52,499
the men get paid 3.5 annas
and women get paid only 2.5 annas.
135
00:08:52,500 --> 00:08:53,790
The yield is very good this time.
136
00:08:53,791 --> 00:08:56,458
But the landlords refuse
to increase even one anna.
137
00:08:57,125 --> 00:08:58,249
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 --> 00:09:04,374
Hey, Vellaya!
141
00:09:04,375 --> 00:09:05,625
What are you doing there?
142
00:09:05,833 --> 00:09:06,874
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 --> 00:09:16,707
- I am warning you…
- Don't worry, Deivanai.
147
00:09:16,708 --> 00:09:18,707
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 --> 00:09:22,832
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 --> 00:09:26,207
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 --> 00:09:32,207
You shouldn't let go
until they raise your wages.
154
00:09:32,208 --> 00:09:33,915
If we loosen our grip,
that's the end of our story.
155
00:09:33,916 --> 00:09:36,915
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 --> 00:09:50,457
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 --> 00:09:58,665
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 --> 00:10:05,374
If you don't plant seedlings
for two more crop seasons,
167
00:10:05,375 --> 00:10:07,499
those landlords will come down
from their high horse.
168
00:10:07,500 --> 00:10:10,457
How can you give away so much money?
169
00:10:10,458 --> 00:10:11,999
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 --> 00:10:19,165
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 --> 00:10:26,165
Doraiswamy.
175
00:10:26,166 --> 00:10:27,374
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 --> 00:10:53,374
He didn't buy it then.
180
00:10:53,375 --> 00:10:56,582
"But in order to buy
the motorcycle he desired,
181
00:10:56,583 --> 00:10:58,374
he moved away from his wife and children
182
00:10:58,375 --> 00:10:59,665
and went to Coimbatore."
183
00:10:59,666 --> 00:11:04,333
{\an8}''There, he worked as a server
in a restaurant for three years.''
184
00:11:06,250 --> 00:11:08,041
{\an8}''He toiled day and night
185
00:11:08,333 --> 00:11:11,083
{\an8}and saved money
to make his dream come true."
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}You lit my mind with love anew
191
00:11:47,125 --> 00:11:52,000
{\an8}You made my heart bloom just for you
192
00:11:55,166 --> 00:11:59,540
{\an8}My day is filled with dreams
193
00:11:59,541 --> 00:12:03,083
{\an8}Flowing like honeyed streams
194
00:12:04,250 --> 00:12:08,540
As I walked by your side
195
00:12:08,541 --> 00:12:12,332
My soul rejoiced and bloomed inside
196
00:12:12,333 --> 00:12:16,290
When our dreams entwine
197
00:12:16,291 --> 00:12:20,458
The whole world shines divine…
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 --> 00:12:45,999
Shall we get ready?
203
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,875
For keeps, for eternity
You are the love that embraces me
204
00:12:52,291 --> 00:12:59,291
{\an8}Come what may, even if far apart
You are always close to my heart
205
00:13:00,375 --> 00:13:04,374
{\an8}Despite distant shores we see
206
00:13:04,375 --> 00:13:08,500
{\an8}You will always be a part of me
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}It echoed within me
214
00:13:34,333 --> 00:13:37,458
{\an8}As ragas in melody
215
00:13:38,375 --> 00:13:41,416
{\an8}In rhythmic rhapsody
216
00:13:41,541 --> 00:13:45,874
{\an8}Playful games on love's pathway
Youth bursts forth in glad display
217
00:13:45,875 --> 00:13:49,624
{\an8}Now you are here
You stole my heart, dear
218
00:13:49,625 --> 00:13:53,874
{\an8}Though silver moonlight fades away
Though dreams are clouded with dismay
219
00:13:53,875 --> 00:13:57,790
{\an8}Our hearts heaven-made
Will such a love ever fade?
220
00:13:57,791 --> 00:14:01,790
{\an8}Without you, not even a blink
My heart won't sleep a wink
221
00:14:01,791 --> 00:14:05,915
{\an8}Knowing you are next to me here
My heart blossoms with cheer
222
00:14:05,916 --> 00:14:09,999
{\an8}Your beauty shines bright and true
Even those gods can't resist you
223
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,166
{\an8}I will look at God eye to eye
And make them flee and fly
224
00:14:13,583 --> 00:14:17,749
{\an8}The whole village stops to stare
You're a beauty beyond compare
225
00:14:17,750 --> 00:14:20,499
{\an8}Endless tales of you begin to bloom anew
226
00:14:20,500 --> 00:14:25,457
{\an8}All day long, as I walked by your side
227
00:14:25,458 --> 00:14:29,707
{\an8}My soul rejoiced and bloomed inside
228
00:14:29,708 --> 00:14:33,707
{\an8}When our dreams entwine
229
00:14:33,708 --> 00:14:37,624
{\an8}The whole world shines divine
230
00:14:37,625 --> 00:14:41,416
As I walk with you right here
231
00:14:41,541 --> 00:14:45,624
My soul rejoices with cheer
232
00:14:45,625 --> 00:14:49,874
When our hearts and dreams align
233
00:14:49,875 --> 00:14:53,332
The whole world begins to shine…
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 --> 00:15:14,707
Like it? Take it for a ride.
241
00:15:14,708 --> 00:15:16,499
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 --> 00:15:22,374
I've asked a mill owner I know
to give you a job.
245
00:15:22,375 --> 00:15:23,624
Who did you ask?
246
00:15:23,625 --> 00:15:25,624
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 --> 00:15:33,332
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 --> 00:15:44,040
Cotton farming is our family occupation.
254
00:15:44,041 --> 00:15:45,790
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 --> 00:15:54,415
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 --> 00:16:07,249
DHANALAKSHMI COTTON MILL
262
00:16:07,250 --> 00:16:08,790
- Is he your candidate?
- Yes, madam.
263
00:16:08,791 --> 00:16:11,999
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 --> 00:16:16,332
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 --> 00:16:26,207
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 --> 00:16:30,124
I'll hire him because he is your nephew.
272
00:16:30,125 --> 00:16:33,332
Listen, boy, there are some rules
to be followed if you work here.
273
00:16:33,333 --> 00:16:34,999
You must report for work early.
274
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,874
You should not take leaves
without a reason.
275
00:16:36,875 --> 00:16:38,957
You should not gossip
with your co-workers.
276
00:16:38,958 --> 00:16:41,415
You will get a monthly salary
of five rupees, understood?
277
00:16:41,416 --> 00:16:43,249
I also have a few rules, madam.
278
00:16:43,250 --> 00:16:44,166
Hey!
279
00:16:45,625 --> 00:16:47,707
I'm here to train as a mill worker.
280
00:16:47,708 --> 00:16:49,374
I will be here only for two years.
281
00:16:49,375 --> 00:16:53,457
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 --> 00:17:07,540
- Yes, madam.
- Thank her.
287
00:17:07,541 --> 00:17:09,249
- Go.
- Come with me.
288
00:17:09,250 --> 00:17:10,415
Go, dear.
289
00:17:10,416 --> 00:17:14,915
Rooted deep in their native soil
Countless hands here honor the toil
290
00:17:14,916 --> 00:17:19,541
Unity is our power so strong
Supporting us lifelong
291
00:17:25,875 --> 00:17:29,958
For those who toil away
292
00:17:30,166 --> 00:17:33,916
No loss will come their way
293
00:17:34,458 --> 00:17:38,541
Just believe you will achieve
294
00:17:38,791 --> 00:17:42,957
Where work is plentiful all around
295
00:17:42,958 --> 00:17:46,790
The clever never lose their ground…
296
00:17:46,791 --> 00:17:49,707
Doraiswamy, go to Vairavan's shop
and buy soap nut powder.
297
00:17:49,708 --> 00:17:51,790
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
The wisdom that you gain and seek
Will lift you to the highest peak
300
00:18:08,208 --> 00:18:12,458
Clash with mountains, never yield
Display courage which is your shield
301
00:18:12,583 --> 00:18:16,874
Let your heart lead the way
Take each step to a brighter day
302
00:18:16,875 --> 00:18:21,208
Learn the ways of the wise
Change your tactics and rise
303
00:18:21,500 --> 00:18:25,375
Let your passion rise within
Let your grit and guts kick in
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 --> 00:19:09,457
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 --> 00:19:49,957
All the bigwigs are waiting
for the mill's inauguration.
319
00:19:49,958 --> 00:19:52,707
- 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 --> 00:20:15,332
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 --> 00:20:22,332
But you're burning up with a high fever.
332
00:20:22,333 --> 00:20:23,707
- Lingam?
- Sir?
333
00:20:23,708 --> 00:20:25,290
- Get the cart ready to go to the doctor.
- Sure, sir.
334
00:20:25,291 --> 00:20:29,665
We fixed an auspicious date and invited
all the VIPs to inaugurate the mill.
335
00:20:29,666 --> 00:20:31,415
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 --> 00:22:16,082
- Bravo.
- Wow!
357
00:22:16,083 --> 00:22:17,290
That was great!
358
00:22:17,291 --> 00:22:18,291
Very good.
359
00:22:21,333 --> 00:22:23,790
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 --> 00:22:28,082
It's the French who need our help.
362
00:22:28,083 --> 00:22:29,124
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 --> 00:22:52,499
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 fakir?
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 --> 00:23:50,874
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 --> 00:24:09,332
Mrs. Stanes and you taught me
with so much affection.
386
00:24:09,333 --> 00:24:10,415
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 --> 00:24:20,665
Naidu, may I present Winston Smith?
Promising young merchant.
390
00:24:20,666 --> 00:24:23,040
- Oh! Nice to meet you, Mr. Smith.
- Nice to meet you.
391
00:24:23,041 --> 00:24:25,874
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 --> 00:24:35,499
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 --> 00:24:51,707
Oh, my!
400
00:24:51,708 --> 00:24:53,457
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 --> 00:25:30,624
You entered our country as mere traders.
411
00:25:30,625 --> 00:25:33,124
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 --> 00:26:33,499
- Shanmugam, did you see my wife?
- Sir?
427
00:26:33,500 --> 00:26:35,624
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 --> 00:27:32,582
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 --> 00:27:49,665
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 --> 00:28:03,790
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 --> 00:28:17,624
In such a crucial phase in your life…
449
00:28:17,625 --> 00:28:19,249
"Will my wife be alright with this?"
450
00:28:19,250 --> 00:28:21,374
"Will she settle down happily
if we move here?"
451
00:28:21,375 --> 00:28:23,040
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 --> 00:28:37,999
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
You will eventually realize
that it's better this way.
471
00:30:02,666 --> 00:30:03,625
Uncle.
472
00:30:03,791 --> 00:30:05,207
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 --> 00:30:18,290
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 --> 00:30:32,582
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 --> 00:31:39,582
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 --> 00:31:50,249
Listening to some random chap's advice,
495
00:31:50,250 --> 00:31:53,082
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 & Ladders
when we cross 90 and keep moving,
500
00:32:05,916 --> 00:32:09,082
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 --> 00:32:13,207
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 --> 00:33:10,165
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 --> 00:33:22,124
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 --> 00:33:35,582
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 --> 00:33:54,874
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 --> 00:34:03,457
Your house looks the same.
538
00:34:03,458 --> 00:34:04,541
Ah, yes.
539
00:34:09,583 --> 00:34:10,624
Listen, dear.
540
00:34:10,625 --> 00:34:13,415
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 --> 00:34:25,749
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 --> 00:34:41,249
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 --> 00:34:48,207
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 --> 00:34:52,540
Ask him to check the auspicious time.
555
00:34:52,541 --> 00:34:54,582
- Okay… fine.
- My proprietress princess.
556
00:34:54,583 --> 00:34:57,249
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 --> 00:35:01,124
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 --> 00:35:52,915
Mr. Hurtis, why did the bus
from Ooty start five minutes late?
563
00:35:52,916 --> 00:35:55,165
- The bus was only half full.
- No, it doesn't matter.
564
00:35:55,166 --> 00:35:57,915
Even if there's only one passenger,
the bus has to leave on time.
565
00:35:57,916 --> 00:36:00,790
Discipline is more important than profits.
I'm sure you understand.
566
00:36:00,791 --> 00:36:02,082
- Very good, sir.
- Are we set?
567
00:36:02,083 --> 00:36:03,124
- Yes, sir.
- Let's go.
568
00:36:03,125 --> 00:36:06,540
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 --> 00:36:15,457
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 --> 00:36:20,624
The bus service
which we run in South India
574
00:36:20,625 --> 00:36:25,457
is no less than those in China, Japan
and Russia.
575
00:36:25,458 --> 00:36:27,499
- 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 --> 00:36:36,874
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 --> 00:36:48,165
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 --> 00:37:01,415
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 --> 00:37:19,082
If we charge two paise for four miles,
594
00:37:19,083 --> 00:37:21,790
you take passengers at half the price
for the same distance.
595
00:37:21,791 --> 00:37:23,332
Then how do we cope?
596
00:37:23,333 --> 00:37:24,915
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 --> 00:37:30,957
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 --> 00:37:39,999
Because this is beyond business.
602
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:41,415
This is about service to the people.
603
00:37:41,416 --> 00:37:43,957
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 --> 00:37:48,457
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 --> 00:38:04,624
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 --> 00:38:17,124
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 --> 00:38:31,374
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 --> 00:38:37,790
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 --> 00:38:53,124
Our UMS, for short.
625
00:38:53,125 --> 00:38:54,790
The customers will be our bosses.
626
00:38:54,791 --> 00:38:57,499
Their comfort is our top priority.
627
00:38:57,500 --> 00:39:00,332
{\an8}Only then can we survive
and grow in this business.
628
00:39:00,333 --> 00:39:01,457
{\an8}For that sole reason,
629
00:39:01,458 --> 00:39:04,166
we have planned
some special schemes for our people.
630
00:39:04,416 --> 00:39:08,083
Separate, clean toilets
for men and women.
631
00:39:08,333 --> 00:39:12,583
A rest area for travelers
and a canteen functioning for 14 hours.
632
00:39:12,708 --> 00:39:15,249
If a passenger wants to go
to Nagercoil from Coimbatore,
633
00:39:15,250 --> 00:39:18,875
all he has to do is buy one ticket.
It will be valid for four days.
634
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,082
Even if he stops in any town
along the way,
635
00:39:21,083 --> 00:39:25,583
he can continue his journey
on any other UMS bus.
636
00:39:26,958 --> 00:39:28,749
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 --> 00:40:00,207
Mr. Naidu plans to open a garage
that runs 24/7 at his own expense.
647
00:40:00,208 --> 00:40:02,540
Since we are manufacturing
our own spare parts,
648
00:40:02,541 --> 00:40:05,249
the service costs, breakdown costs,
expenditure on repairs…
649
00:40:05,250 --> 00:40:07,207
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 --> 00:40:36,040
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 --> 00:44:10,040
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 --> 00:44:18,457
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 --> 00:44:30,249
- Are you skeptical?
- I didn't mean it that way.
706
00:44:30,250 --> 00:44:32,040
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 --> 00:47:35,291
Long live, Father Periyar!
729
00:48:27,458 --> 00:48:29,625
Mr. Smith, meet Mr. Bhupendra.
730
00:48:30,416 --> 00:48:33,666
Bhupendra is a leading figure
in north India's steel industry.
731
00:48:33,833 --> 00:48:35,624
And a prominent business tycoon.
732
00:48:35,625 --> 00:48:36,874
Glad to meet you, Mr. Smith.
733
00:48:36,875 --> 00:48:38,415
Glad to meet you, Mr. Bhupendra.
734
00:48:38,416 --> 00:48:40,624
The game is about to begin.
I'll see you at Divot Stomp.
735
00:48:40,625 --> 00:48:42,250
- Right you are.
- Right you are.
736
00:48:43,625 --> 00:48:45,624
Adams, can I have a word with you?
737
00:48:45,625 --> 00:48:46,625
Certainly.
738
00:48:47,833 --> 00:48:49,291
What "big tycoon"?
739
00:48:50,250 --> 00:48:51,457
You gave me your word.
740
00:48:51,458 --> 00:48:52,666
A foothold in the south.
741
00:48:53,166 --> 00:48:56,165
And on your request, I brought
Naidu down with that cotton gamble.
742
00:48:56,166 --> 00:48:58,541
And yet here we are, years on.
743
00:48:59,541 --> 00:49:01,333
And he's still ahead.
744
00:49:01,666 --> 00:49:03,041
Now you let this happen.
745
00:49:03,750 --> 00:49:06,166
And I am not going to be
the one paying the price.
746
00:49:06,416 --> 00:49:08,875
Believe me, Bhupendra, I tried.
747
00:49:09,833 --> 00:49:11,291
But his books are clean.
748
00:49:13,208 --> 00:49:15,041
And he is working within the system.
749
00:49:17,375 --> 00:49:19,500
What do you mean by the system, Adams?
750
00:49:20,166 --> 00:49:21,416
You are the system.
751
00:49:22,375 --> 00:49:24,291
Nothing is going to stand in your way.
752
00:49:24,416 --> 00:49:27,833
Do you think laws can't be bent
if his books are clean?
753
00:49:28,666 --> 00:49:29,541
Soil them.
754
00:49:30,500 --> 00:49:32,625
Ravi! Bring my horse!
755
00:49:38,416 --> 00:49:40,083
TAX PAYERS
756
00:50:02,416 --> 00:50:06,500
TAX EVADERS
757
00:50:07,583 --> 00:50:10,916
Sir, I have changed G. D. Naidu's records
as you instructed.
758
00:50:11,208 --> 00:50:12,125
Mr. Palanisamy.
759
00:50:13,583 --> 00:50:15,958
{\an8}Naidu has stockpiled
tons and tons of steel.
760
00:50:16,500 --> 00:50:19,207
Sir, he has paid the sales tax
for all that.
761
00:50:19,208 --> 00:50:22,500
Mr. Collector, he melted
raw materials and made spare parts.
762
00:50:23,416 --> 00:50:24,999
Shouldn't he pay tax for that?
763
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:26,124
For example,
764
00:50:26,125 --> 00:50:28,375
Naidu has paid tax only for the paddy.
765
00:50:28,541 --> 00:50:31,457
When the grain was harvested
and it was cooked as rice,
766
00:50:31,458 --> 00:50:32,624
no tax was paid.
767
00:50:32,625 --> 00:50:34,958
When the name and usage
of a product change,
768
00:50:35,083 --> 00:50:36,790
he has to pay manufacturing tax.
769
00:50:36,791 --> 00:50:37,915
Sir.
770
00:50:37,916 --> 00:50:40,749
Only when the cooked rice is sold
in restaurants, he has to pay tax.
771
00:50:40,750 --> 00:50:43,000
Do we have to pay tax
to just boil and eat it?
772
00:50:43,958 --> 00:50:48,458
Sir, G. D. Naidu is manufacturing
spare parts only for his personal use.
773
00:50:48,958 --> 00:50:50,625
He is not doing business with all this.
774
00:50:50,916 --> 00:50:52,083
{\an8}Can you prove it?
775
00:50:54,541 --> 00:50:55,416
Sir…
776
00:50:56,833 --> 00:50:59,875
{\an8}These clever businessmen will
have multiple books of accounts.
777
00:51:00,791 --> 00:51:04,500
{\an8}Actual accounts will be different
from what they show us.
778
00:51:05,208 --> 00:51:06,083
Do you get it?
779
00:51:08,583 --> 00:51:10,208
Do you want to say anything?
780
00:51:10,916 --> 00:51:11,791
No, sir.
781
00:51:12,666 --> 00:51:13,708
Thank you, sir.
782
00:51:15,875 --> 00:51:17,000
Imbecile!
783
00:51:23,583 --> 00:51:24,958
Yeah, very good.
784
00:51:26,125 --> 00:51:27,000
Sir.
785
00:51:27,291 --> 00:51:28,125
Tell me, Killi.
786
00:51:28,958 --> 00:51:32,958
I know one man who is ready to enforce
all your orders without any fear.
787
00:51:33,416 --> 00:51:34,666
Salem Income Tax Officer.
788
00:51:34,958 --> 00:51:37,041
His name is Ambalapara Krishnan.
789
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:41,375
I know this Krishnan.
790
00:51:42,750 --> 00:51:46,041
Do you call him by some nickname?
791
00:51:46,291 --> 00:51:47,250
Yes, sir.
792
00:51:48,583 --> 00:51:49,750
Lion of Salem!
793
00:51:49,875 --> 00:51:51,125
Get lost!
794
00:51:51,583 --> 00:51:52,625
Hey…
795
00:51:54,916 --> 00:51:57,041
I'll get even with you!
796
00:51:57,458 --> 00:51:59,833
Let's bring that lion to Coimbatore.
797
00:52:30,583 --> 00:52:32,000
G. D. NAIDU
798
00:52:32,833 --> 00:52:35,457
Sir, you've added Mr. G. D. Naidu
in the tax evaders list.
799
00:52:35,458 --> 00:52:36,499
Mohan.
800
00:52:36,500 --> 00:52:37,500
What is ALP?
801
00:52:37,916 --> 00:52:40,291
- Arms-length principle, sir.
- What does it mean?
802
00:52:40,625 --> 00:52:44,665
It's wrong to sell a product at a lower
price to friends and family, sir.
803
00:52:44,666 --> 00:52:45,666
Why?
804
00:52:45,791 --> 00:52:49,165
If they show less income,
they can pay less tax, sir.
805
00:52:49,166 --> 00:52:51,665
Naidu has chosen exactly
that fraudulent route!
806
00:52:51,666 --> 00:52:52,749
For farmers' welfare--
807
00:52:52,750 --> 00:52:55,458
What do the records say?
It's a clear case.
808
00:52:55,625 --> 00:52:58,166
Clear evidence of underinvoicing!
809
00:52:58,291 --> 00:52:59,583
- Am I right?
- Yes, sir.
810
00:52:59,708 --> 00:53:01,665
He hasn't paid manufacturing tax.
811
00:53:01,666 --> 00:53:03,833
He has cheated on import duty.
812
00:53:04,375 --> 00:53:06,665
Follow the paper, Mohan.
813
00:53:06,666 --> 00:53:07,582
Okay, sir.
814
00:53:07,583 --> 00:53:13,250
Who is he to decide which taxes
he will pay and which taxes he won't?
815
00:53:13,791 --> 00:53:14,875
Is he the government?
816
00:53:16,375 --> 00:53:17,916
He's just a trader.
817
00:53:19,375 --> 00:53:21,457
Who was here
before I took up this position?
818
00:53:21,458 --> 00:53:22,749
Palanisamy, sir.
819
00:53:22,750 --> 00:53:24,124
Why?
820
00:53:24,125 --> 00:53:26,083
He won't take any action against Naidu?
821
00:53:26,666 --> 00:53:28,040
Is he related to Naidu?
822
00:53:28,041 --> 00:53:29,915
No, sir, he has high regard for--
823
00:53:29,916 --> 00:53:32,750
What bloody re-- Respect.
824
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:35,291
He's making millions via UMS.
825
00:53:35,708 --> 00:53:38,124
He has started many
polytechnic engineering colleges
826
00:53:38,125 --> 00:53:40,083
and is charging huge fees.
827
00:53:41,125 --> 00:53:43,791
Any industry he starts
is only making profits.
828
00:53:44,458 --> 00:53:48,208
But paying the tax promptly leaves
a bitter taste in his mouth, does it?
829
00:53:49,083 --> 00:53:50,290
- Perunkilli.
- Yes, sir.
830
00:53:50,291 --> 00:53:52,999
Get the papers ready
to seize his imports and exports.
831
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:53,957
Okay, sir.
832
00:53:53,958 --> 00:53:55,208
- Sir, but he is--
- Mohan!
833
00:53:55,375 --> 00:53:56,540
It's an order.
834
00:53:56,541 --> 00:53:57,958
- Go.
- Okay, sir.
835
00:54:13,125 --> 00:54:15,249
Pillai, not a single machine
will be delivered.
836
00:54:15,250 --> 00:54:16,083
Why so?
837
00:54:16,458 --> 00:54:19,457
An Income Tax Officer has come from Salem,
a real pain in the neck!
838
00:54:19,458 --> 00:54:22,208
He has seized all our shipments
at the harbor.
839
00:54:22,583 --> 00:54:26,333
Not only have they imposed ridiculous
taxes on our various inventions,
840
00:54:26,500 --> 00:54:28,583
they have also piled on false penalties.
841
00:54:29,500 --> 00:54:33,416
Those corrupt bandits
are cooking up ideas to take bribes…
842
00:54:33,666 --> 00:54:35,291
We've never encouraged that.
843
00:54:35,750 --> 00:54:38,958
They can't take even one anna as a bribe
from our company.
844
00:54:39,583 --> 00:54:44,833
Naidu is well aware
of how to treat these buggers.
845
00:54:50,041 --> 00:54:52,915
Arrange a village council meeting
tomorrow evening.
846
00:54:52,916 --> 00:54:53,958
Okay, sir.
847
00:55:04,541 --> 00:55:07,749
Passengers to Government Hospital,
Pappampatti Junction, Sulur, get in.
848
00:55:07,750 --> 00:55:08,916
Get in, sir.
849
00:55:09,208 --> 00:55:10,166
Get lost!
850
00:55:10,541 --> 00:55:12,666
Why are you being so rude?
851
00:55:12,916 --> 00:55:15,250
- Has everyone got down? Start the bus.
- Go away!
852
00:55:33,958 --> 00:55:35,124
Why are you walking in this rain?
853
00:55:35,125 --> 00:55:37,082
Can't you see?
The bicycle is broken.
854
00:55:37,083 --> 00:55:39,124
- You could've taken the bus.
- Can't do that.
855
00:55:39,125 --> 00:55:41,165
All the buses are owned by UMS.
856
00:55:41,166 --> 00:55:43,915
I won't contribute even a penny
to that tax evader.
857
00:55:43,916 --> 00:55:45,666
I don't like your attitude one bit.
858
00:55:46,125 --> 00:55:48,415
If you don't favor the idea,
you shouldn't go.
859
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,
860
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:54,166
will anyone keep quiet?
861
00:55:55,375 --> 00:55:56,790
What's wrong with what I said?
862
00:55:56,791 --> 00:55:58,999
Tell them we need
more engineering colleges.
863
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:01,582
Why would you say that we should
demolish all the arts colleges?
864
00:56:01,583 --> 00:56:03,416
Let us talk a bit practically, Naidu.
865
00:56:06,666 --> 00:56:08,583
I am talking about "practical" too.
866
00:56:09,375 --> 00:56:12,291
What can be taught in four days
with the help of a machine,
867
00:56:12,458 --> 00:56:16,082
your curriculum is like a rubber band
stretched with four years of theory.
868
00:56:16,083 --> 00:56:18,374
Before he passes his exam,
even the technology will change.
869
00:56:18,375 --> 00:56:19,915
You have reduced the polytechnic course
870
00:56:19,916 --> 00:56:21,416
in your college to two years.
871
00:56:21,541 --> 00:56:23,041
Then why this misplaced anger?
872
00:56:23,625 --> 00:56:26,375
Doraiswamy, you tend
to think ahead of your time.
873
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:28,457
Society will move at its own slow pace.
874
00:56:28,458 --> 00:56:32,041
Like Arthur Hope College,
open more such polytechnic colleges.
875
00:56:32,500 --> 00:56:34,291
Open colleges for women.
876
00:56:34,458 --> 00:56:37,415
Make students of all castes
sit together as equals without bias.
877
00:56:37,416 --> 00:56:40,500
You should be the one to bring about
the change you believe in.
878
00:56:40,916 --> 00:56:43,958
And toss that darn cigarette.
Put an end to this nasty habit.
879
00:57:02,208 --> 00:57:03,416
Why are the cops here?
880
00:57:03,666 --> 00:57:05,833
Hey! Did you take
all the items I mentioned?
881
00:57:06,333 --> 00:57:08,582
- Why is this here? Remove it, quick.
- Okay, sir.
882
00:57:08,583 --> 00:57:10,707
Hey! Why is a car parked there?
883
00:57:10,708 --> 00:57:12,207
- Sir, should that car be removed?
- Yes.
884
00:57:12,208 --> 00:57:13,999
2802, remove that blue car.
885
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:15,166
Mohan, are you done?
886
00:57:15,375 --> 00:57:17,374
- They're numbering it, Killi.
- Quick, clear it.
887
00:57:17,375 --> 00:57:18,875
Bring all the items here.
888
00:57:19,541 --> 00:57:21,415
- What is happening, sir?
- I tried to stop them.
889
00:57:21,416 --> 00:57:23,582
But they ignored me and started
taking everything out.
890
00:57:23,583 --> 00:57:24,708
Oh, no.
891
00:57:26,250 --> 00:57:27,833
They are taking away everything.
892
00:57:29,500 --> 00:57:30,458
What are you doing?
893
00:57:30,583 --> 00:57:32,040
It was bought for children's education!
894
00:57:32,041 --> 00:57:33,457
- Why are you taking this?
- Hey!
895
00:57:33,458 --> 00:57:35,083
Hey, wait.
896
00:57:40,458 --> 00:57:42,500
If you don't pay your taxes properly,
897
00:57:42,666 --> 00:57:44,708
this is how we will take your stuff away.
898
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:50,041
Sir, they plan to auction off everything
they seized from your house and college.
899
00:57:50,583 --> 00:57:51,458
Naidu.
900
00:57:52,166 --> 00:57:53,208
Shall I look into it?
901
00:57:54,416 --> 00:57:55,666
Don't get involved, Giri.
902
00:57:56,708 --> 00:58:00,666
People will shamelessly claim that
I befriended you for selfish gains.
903
00:58:01,458 --> 00:58:04,250
No one should taint our friendship
because of this issue.
904
00:58:04,958 --> 00:58:06,208
I can handle this myself.
905
00:58:06,916 --> 00:58:08,665
Ladies and gentlemen.
906
00:58:08,666 --> 00:58:12,208
A once-in-a-lifetime chance
to witness such an auction.
907
00:58:12,458 --> 00:58:16,333
Whoever wins this auction
is the luckiest man on earth.
908
00:58:16,666 --> 00:58:18,290
This is not an ordinary auction.
909
00:58:18,291 --> 00:58:19,499
A very lucky collection.
910
00:58:19,500 --> 00:58:20,500
Look over there.
911
00:58:20,875 --> 00:58:22,750
Rows of fancy cars shining bright.
912
00:58:23,083 --> 00:58:25,875
Exquisitely crafted gold ornaments.
913
00:58:26,333 --> 00:58:27,916
Eye-catching sparkling diamonds.
914
00:58:28,208 --> 00:58:31,166
Imported state-of-the-art machinery.
915
00:58:31,625 --> 00:58:34,375
Machines that cannot be found
anywhere in India.
916
00:58:34,875 --> 00:58:38,041
Once-in-a-generation opportunity.
917
00:58:38,250 --> 00:58:40,707
By bidding and paying the winning price,
918
00:58:40,708 --> 00:58:45,500
who will be fortunate enough
to live like royalty?
919
00:58:46,041 --> 00:58:48,166
Ladies, persuade your husbands.
920
00:58:48,541 --> 00:58:50,833
It's a once in a lifetime opportunity.
921
00:58:51,208 --> 00:58:54,625
Its total value will be
well over several million rupees.
922
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:57,583
But the opening bid…
923
00:58:57,791 --> 00:58:59,291
Is only one rupee!
924
00:59:03,458 --> 00:59:06,082
Sir, why are you offering items
worth millions for just one rupee?
925
00:59:06,083 --> 00:59:08,915
Don't we have to collect
the tax Naidu owes the government?
926
00:59:08,916 --> 00:59:11,875
Rajangam, if someone
bids for more than 100,000 rupees
927
00:59:12,041 --> 00:59:13,790
Naidu need not even pay the penalty.
928
00:59:13,791 --> 00:59:15,874
But if everyone bids for one rupee,
929
00:59:15,875 --> 00:59:18,000
the balance has to be paid by Naidu.
930
00:59:18,333 --> 00:59:20,415
Why are you humiliating him
like this, sir?
931
00:59:20,416 --> 00:59:21,749
It's the collector's order.
932
00:59:21,750 --> 00:59:25,165
The highest bidder doesn't take home
just this rare collection of riches.
933
00:59:25,166 --> 00:59:27,707
You will be taking Mahalakshmi,
the Goddess of wealth, to your house.
934
00:59:27,708 --> 00:59:29,582
The first man has stood up.
935
00:59:29,583 --> 00:59:30,833
Sir, open the bidding.
936
00:59:31,250 --> 00:59:32,416
I'm going to pee, sir.
937
00:59:36,166 --> 00:59:41,083
Ladies, you can't even dream of all this.
Bid the lowest price for this fancy car.
938
00:59:41,250 --> 00:59:44,625
The time when luck will bless you
is just around the corner.
939
00:59:44,750 --> 00:59:46,625
Do not have second thoughts.
940
00:59:53,500 --> 00:59:54,541
Mohan.
941
00:59:55,375 --> 00:59:57,165
We've been sitting here for three hours.
942
00:59:57,166 --> 00:59:59,000
Not a single person has placed a bid.
943
00:59:59,541 --> 01:00:00,375
What?
944
01:00:00,791 --> 01:00:03,708
Strange, no one here wants to bid?
945
01:00:06,708 --> 01:00:09,083
Somehow this doesn't seem right to me.
946
01:00:20,291 --> 01:00:21,125
Sir.
947
01:00:22,375 --> 01:00:25,165
Not only are they insulting us
by auctioning our possessions,
948
01:00:25,166 --> 01:00:27,582
but they are selling
all the items for just one rupee.
949
01:00:27,583 --> 01:00:28,625
But look, sir.
950
01:00:28,916 --> 01:00:31,040
Not a single person
raised their hand to bid, sir.
951
01:00:31,041 --> 01:00:32,750
This is your final chance.
952
01:00:58,375 --> 01:01:00,041
One rupee and three-quarter anna.
953
01:01:02,208 --> 01:01:04,666
I am bidding
for one rupee and three-quarter anna.
954
01:01:07,083 --> 01:01:09,875
Sir, owners cannot bid
for their own belongings.
955
01:01:10,208 --> 01:01:11,457
Don't you know the law?
956
01:01:11,458 --> 01:01:15,125
The bidder's name is Ramaiah Pillai.
957
01:01:19,291 --> 01:01:20,208
Yes, sir.
958
01:01:22,916 --> 01:01:24,583
One rupee and three-quarter anna.
959
01:01:26,125 --> 01:01:28,207
His bid is
one rupee and three-quarter anna.
960
01:01:28,208 --> 01:01:29,750
Is anyone else topping his bid?
961
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:32,000
- One rupee and three-quarter anna.
- Hey!
962
01:01:32,375 --> 01:01:33,957
No one here will bid in this auction.
963
01:01:33,958 --> 01:01:36,374
What your government
could not do for 20 years,
964
01:01:36,375 --> 01:01:38,707
our Naidu has helped us tenfold!
965
01:01:38,708 --> 01:01:39,749
She is right.
966
01:01:39,750 --> 01:01:41,208
Cheap guys disgracing him!
967
01:01:48,791 --> 01:01:50,958
One rupee and three-quarter anna.
Going once.
968
01:01:51,083 --> 01:01:52,083
Going twice.
969
01:01:52,666 --> 01:01:53,708
Going thrice.
970
01:01:58,833 --> 01:02:00,250
I have two rupees.
971
01:02:00,833 --> 01:02:04,166
Please return the balance without fail.
972
01:02:26,625 --> 01:02:30,791
Long live, Mr. Naidu!
973
01:02:34,458 --> 01:02:37,458
Long live, Mr. Naidu!
974
01:02:38,041 --> 01:02:40,458
Unbelievable respect
for a tax-dodging fraudster!
975
01:02:40,625 --> 01:02:44,125
These days, people can't tell
a gentleman from a con artist.
976
01:02:44,458 --> 01:02:47,665
All those who do business like this
swim in the same murky pond.
977
01:02:47,666 --> 01:02:49,874
Just to avoid paying tax,
978
01:02:49,875 --> 01:02:54,249
they give away some money
to the poor in the name of goodwill
979
01:02:54,250 --> 01:02:57,208
and hide their true and ill intentions.
980
01:02:57,625 --> 01:02:59,249
"Beloved people of this land!"
981
01:02:59,250 --> 01:03:03,166
"This Naidu has not paid tax in millions
for many years."
982
01:03:03,500 --> 01:03:06,666
If we announce it like that,
you think they will believe us?
983
01:03:07,166 --> 01:03:11,375
Because people do not have
a good opinion of our own department.
984
01:03:13,625 --> 01:03:17,916
The fact that Naidu is a tax dodger
should come from the press.
985
01:03:18,541 --> 01:03:20,208
People should read that news.
986
01:03:20,583 --> 01:03:24,125
People should gradually
lose their respect for him.
987
01:03:24,875 --> 01:03:26,083
- Mohan.
- Sir?
988
01:03:26,750 --> 01:03:30,958
Find a journalist today who is honest
989
01:03:31,166 --> 01:03:32,665
and ask him to start writing
990
01:03:32,666 --> 01:03:36,249
the truth behind Mr. G. D. Naidu
as a tax dodger.
991
01:03:36,250 --> 01:03:37,291
Okay, sir.
992
01:04:12,875 --> 01:04:13,791
Achudhan.
993
01:04:15,625 --> 01:04:16,625
Achudhan?
994
01:04:25,750 --> 01:04:27,291
- Mohan?
- Sir.
995
01:04:27,958 --> 01:04:29,750
Why did Achudhan come to our office?
996
01:04:29,916 --> 01:04:31,874
He collected the documents of Mr. Bond
997
01:04:31,875 --> 01:04:34,124
who has paid income tax
for the past three years.
998
01:04:34,125 --> 01:04:36,749
Hey! Will you hand over whatever
to anyone asks you for?
999
01:04:36,750 --> 01:04:39,415
I didn't know, sir.
He showed Bond's ID as per protocol.
1000
01:04:39,416 --> 01:04:41,040
- So I gave it, sir.
- That is fine.
1001
01:04:41,041 --> 01:04:45,124
I want to know why Naidu's men
are asking for Bond's documents.
1002
01:04:45,125 --> 01:04:46,208
Sir?
1003
01:04:46,333 --> 01:04:48,415
A man with a dog is here
creating such a ruckus.
1004
01:04:48,416 --> 01:04:50,832
I said dogs are not allowed inside,
but he refuses to listen, sir.
1005
01:04:50,833 --> 01:04:52,415
Pillai, take the dog out.
1006
01:04:52,416 --> 01:04:54,457
The collector is in a meeting.
He'll be mad if he finds out.
1007
01:04:54,458 --> 01:04:55,665
Let the collector come out.
1008
01:04:55,666 --> 01:04:57,166
Sir, shall we?
1009
01:04:57,666 --> 01:04:58,791
No, I'll take care.
1010
01:05:05,041 --> 01:05:06,375
The collector is here.
1011
01:05:06,541 --> 01:05:07,875
Greetings, sir.
1012
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:09,750
We are meeting frequently nowadays.
1013
01:05:09,875 --> 01:05:13,999
Did someone from your office
collect Mr. Bond's income tax documents?
1014
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:15,290
Yes, we did.
1015
01:05:15,291 --> 01:05:16,833
Mr. Bond is a minor.
1016
01:05:16,958 --> 01:05:18,083
I am the guardian.
1017
01:05:18,208 --> 01:05:20,832
He has been paying income tax
promptly for the past three years.
1018
01:05:20,833 --> 01:05:22,665
You must have checked the documents.
1019
01:05:22,666 --> 01:05:24,291
If he is a diligent taxpayer,
1020
01:05:24,583 --> 01:05:26,874
why didn't he come and meet me directly
in my office?
1021
01:05:26,875 --> 01:05:28,500
Why send people like you here?
1022
01:05:28,791 --> 01:05:30,915
Exactly, that's my opinion too.
1023
01:05:30,916 --> 01:05:33,208
But they refused
to allow dogs in the office.
1024
01:05:33,541 --> 01:05:37,500
I want to know, is this the respect
you show to perfectly prompt taxpayers?
1025
01:05:44,916 --> 01:05:46,500
What are you trying to say, man?
1026
01:05:47,750 --> 01:05:49,583
This is Mr. Bond!
1027
01:05:53,166 --> 01:05:56,125
Bond, this is a British loyalist.
1028
01:05:56,500 --> 01:05:59,458
An integrity-conscious income tax officer.
1029
01:05:59,583 --> 01:06:03,333
His name is Mr. Ambalapara Krishnan.
1030
01:06:03,791 --> 01:06:06,750
He follows what's on paper to the T.
1031
01:06:07,083 --> 01:06:08,250
Greet him.
1032
01:06:09,541 --> 01:06:10,625
Oh, no! Bond.
1033
01:06:10,875 --> 01:06:12,375
You have a short fuse.
1034
01:06:12,500 --> 01:06:15,082
We have been paying taxes promptly
for the past three years, sir.
1035
01:06:15,083 --> 01:06:18,875
But the department is unaware
if the taxpayer is human or an animal.
1036
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:21,708
They have this one-track mind
to snatch the tax.
1037
01:06:22,083 --> 01:06:25,082
If you ask, they will justify
it is their rules and protocols on paper.
1038
01:06:25,083 --> 01:06:26,540
What the hell can we do, sir?
1039
01:06:26,541 --> 01:06:27,625
Ramaiah Pillai.
1040
01:06:27,916 --> 01:06:29,583
This is a government office.
1041
01:06:29,833 --> 01:06:32,499
If you create a scene here,
I will be forced to call the police.
1042
01:06:32,500 --> 01:06:35,500
If I ask for justice, will you
accuse me of creating trouble?
1043
01:06:35,833 --> 01:06:39,666
Mr. Naidu started questioning you
only after you began levying unjust taxes.
1044
01:06:39,916 --> 01:06:42,000
Till then, he was a prompt tax payer.
1045
01:06:42,291 --> 01:06:45,416
When he started questioning you,
you piled a penalty on him.
1046
01:06:45,666 --> 01:06:47,874
Then heaped more penalties unjustly.
1047
01:06:47,875 --> 01:06:49,874
Naidu understood that
you had begun to loot.
1048
01:06:49,875 --> 01:06:54,374
That's why he began serving
the nation and its people directly.
1049
01:06:54,375 --> 01:06:56,624
File as many cases as you want
against him.
1050
01:06:56,625 --> 01:06:59,790
Bring in your men to confiscate his assets
as many times as you want.
1051
01:06:59,791 --> 01:07:05,125
But you can't touch Naidu's pet dog,
let alone Naidu himself.
1052
01:07:05,791 --> 01:07:07,041
- Perunkilli.
- Sir?
1053
01:07:07,416 --> 01:07:09,708
If this man utters one more word,
1054
01:07:10,041 --> 01:07:11,415
- call the police.
- Yes, sir.
1055
01:07:11,416 --> 01:07:12,500
Oh, no!
1056
01:07:13,916 --> 01:07:15,791
I won't utter another word, sir.
1057
01:07:16,041 --> 01:07:18,333
But, I will write.
1058
01:07:18,666 --> 01:07:22,666
In whichever paper you intend
to defame Mr. Naidu's reputation,
1059
01:07:22,916 --> 01:07:25,665
in that same newspaper
and the same page…
1060
01:07:25,666 --> 01:07:31,540
"Income tax officials who claim
that Mr. G. D. Naidu is a tax dodger
1061
01:07:31,541 --> 01:07:36,083
are not the least bit concerned about
a dog paying tax for three years.''
1062
01:07:36,250 --> 01:07:39,125
''They have been pocketing
that money happily."
1063
01:07:39,958 --> 01:07:41,125
That's all I will write.
1064
01:07:41,458 --> 01:07:43,499
Let the general public read both the news.
1065
01:07:43,500 --> 01:07:47,041
Then let us see whether
their respect for Naidu increases
1066
01:07:47,375 --> 01:07:53,208
or whatever shred of respect
they have for you vanishes.
1067
01:07:57,000 --> 01:07:59,333
Are you trying to tarnish my integrity?
1068
01:07:59,458 --> 01:08:01,458
Oh! Integrity?
1069
01:08:02,666 --> 01:08:05,666
Your Naidu has to answer to this.
1070
01:08:07,083 --> 01:08:11,915
I will make him apologize to me
for all his wrongdoings.
1071
01:08:11,916 --> 01:08:14,000
I will ensure he pays the tax he dodged.
1072
01:08:14,833 --> 01:08:16,999
I'll tear off the fake mask he wears
1073
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:20,000
to fool innocent people
into thinking he's a good man.
1074
01:08:20,500 --> 01:08:23,000
Words from a pure heart
will come true, man.
1075
01:08:23,583 --> 01:08:25,083
Mark my words.
1076
01:08:25,250 --> 01:08:30,500
From today, your Naidu
will not get to sleep peacefully.
1077
01:08:45,625 --> 01:08:46,958
Well done, dear Bond.
1078
01:08:57,416 --> 01:08:59,125
{\an8}A dog was paying tax, it seems.
1079
01:08:59,333 --> 01:09:01,833
Did you accept it with intent
or were you ignorant?
1080
01:09:04,875 --> 01:09:08,207
{\an8}Sir, we now doubt whether the taxes
you collected from us were justified.
1081
01:09:08,208 --> 01:09:10,208
Sir, I'm asking you.
Please respond, sir.
1082
01:09:23,708 --> 01:09:24,749
What are you gaping at?
1083
01:09:24,750 --> 01:09:28,250
N. S. Krishnan and M. R. Radha
are traveling in G. D. Naidu's car, sir.
1084
01:09:29,083 --> 01:09:30,166
Prototype.
1085
01:09:31,375 --> 01:09:32,957
Can this car be driven on the road?
1086
01:09:32,958 --> 01:09:36,665
Sir, to drive that car, a separate
practice ground has been allocated.
1087
01:09:36,666 --> 01:09:38,166
Driving on this road is wrong.
1088
01:09:39,125 --> 01:09:40,958
Go straight to the police station.
1089
01:09:41,208 --> 01:09:42,041
Okay, sir.
1090
01:09:50,625 --> 01:09:52,750
- What do you think, NSK?
- Spectacular.
1091
01:09:54,083 --> 01:09:58,416
Make a film that teaches students
the importance of education.
1092
01:09:58,833 --> 01:10:00,125
Mr. Naidu.
1093
01:10:00,541 --> 01:10:04,083
Cinema should have
two fight scenes, four songs
1094
01:10:04,208 --> 01:10:07,375
with celestial nymphs like Menaka
and Rambha dancing enticingly.
1095
01:10:07,583 --> 01:10:10,832
Only then the audience will come
to the theaters to be entertained.
1096
01:10:10,833 --> 01:10:14,791
Now that will make the bosses happy,
and we can make some money.
1097
01:10:15,500 --> 01:10:18,499
But you want children
who don't study in school
1098
01:10:18,500 --> 01:10:21,082
to watch a movie
in a theater for education?
1099
01:10:21,083 --> 01:10:23,375
Which age are you living in, Naidu?
1100
01:10:23,583 --> 01:10:26,166
Why do you nod your head
so vehemently, Krishnan?
1101
01:10:33,166 --> 01:10:34,415
- Naidu?
- Huh?
1102
01:10:34,416 --> 01:10:36,583
Isn't that a police car chasing us?
1103
01:10:40,041 --> 01:10:41,250
Oh, yes!
1104
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:43,582
Naidu, is it a laughing matter?
1105
01:10:43,583 --> 01:10:46,665
Didn't you say we should laugh
when trouble comes chasing us?
1106
01:10:46,666 --> 01:10:48,708
That's the biggest boomerang, I swear!
1107
01:10:49,250 --> 01:10:52,165
The police and us are never
on the same side, Mr. Naidu.
1108
01:10:52,166 --> 01:10:55,208
Got a gun or something on you?
We'll finish them off and flee.
1109
01:10:57,166 --> 01:10:59,957
No need for such drastic measures.
I have a testing permit.
1110
01:10:59,958 --> 01:11:02,208
That's a relief.
Why not show them the permit?
1111
01:11:02,625 --> 01:11:05,333
Let them first catch up with us.
Then we can show them.
1112
01:11:14,583 --> 01:11:15,500
Faster!
1113
01:11:16,375 --> 01:11:18,666
- Go…go, man
- They are catching up, Naidu.
1114
01:11:18,875 --> 01:11:21,000
They are closing in, Naidu.
1115
01:11:21,166 --> 01:11:22,415
They are catching up.
1116
01:11:22,416 --> 01:11:25,000
Naidu, this is rocket speed!
1117
01:11:28,375 --> 01:11:29,541
Go, go, go!
1118
01:11:33,708 --> 01:11:35,666
- Naidu, they are catching up.
- Speed up!
1119
01:11:35,958 --> 01:11:37,332
Speed up!
1120
01:11:37,333 --> 01:11:39,415
We can arrest him
only if we nab him while driving.
1121
01:11:39,416 --> 01:11:40,750
Speed up to catch him.
1122
01:11:42,625 --> 01:11:43,916
Careful…
1123
01:11:47,250 --> 01:11:49,083
Oh, no! Naidu.
1124
01:11:49,708 --> 01:11:51,707
They are hot on our heels, Naidu.
1125
01:11:51,708 --> 01:11:54,957
With your act of defiance, looks like
even your permit won't save us today.
1126
01:11:54,958 --> 01:11:56,583
Worry not, NSK.
1127
01:11:56,875 --> 01:11:59,125
Our prototype is a four-wheel ride.
1128
01:11:59,750 --> 01:12:00,874
They are coming, Naidu.
1129
01:12:00,875 --> 01:12:03,083
They are closing in on us.
Speed up, Naidu!
1130
01:12:15,125 --> 01:12:16,708
- Mr. Naidu.
- Huh?
1131
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:19,958
Not just the car,
that khaki uniform bit the dust too.
1132
01:12:23,791 --> 01:12:24,750
Mr. Naidu.
1133
01:12:24,875 --> 01:12:26,916
Don't assume the police have given up.
1134
01:12:27,041 --> 01:12:29,415
They will sniff us out like hounds.
1135
01:12:29,416 --> 01:12:30,500
Dirty fellows!
1136
01:12:31,791 --> 01:12:35,000
He brought the comfort of bus travel
to people who used ox carts.
1137
01:12:35,125 --> 01:12:36,666
They created problem then.
1138
01:12:36,875 --> 01:12:40,041
Now Naidu's goal is for
the common folk to travel by car.
1139
01:12:40,291 --> 01:12:42,666
To make cars affordable,
1140
01:12:42,833 --> 01:12:45,000
he has assembled a prototype.
1141
01:12:45,416 --> 01:12:47,624
Those wretched fellows
have landed here too.
1142
01:12:47,625 --> 01:12:49,541
Sir, car means affluence, right?
1143
01:12:50,083 --> 01:12:53,290
How can it be made cheap enough
for the common man to afford it?
1144
01:12:53,291 --> 01:12:55,333
- It is possible.
- Huh?
1145
01:12:55,833 --> 01:12:58,625
You know Hitler from Germany?
1146
01:12:59,125 --> 01:13:02,208
He used this same method
to build low-cost cars.
1147
01:13:02,375 --> 01:13:05,707
There's a rumor going around that he plans
to make it available to the common man.
1148
01:13:05,708 --> 01:13:08,708
The two of us are planning
to go to Germany.
1149
01:13:08,833 --> 01:13:11,790
If we can prove that their
cars can be manufactured
1150
01:13:11,791 --> 01:13:14,333
in our country at a cheaper price,
1151
01:13:14,708 --> 01:13:16,791
they will set up their factories here.
1152
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:19,332
We will also get to know the techniques.
1153
01:13:19,333 --> 01:13:20,624
Then next step?
1154
01:13:20,625 --> 01:13:23,165
We will also manufacture cars
at an affordable price
1155
01:13:23,166 --> 01:13:25,207
and offer it to our people.
1156
01:13:25,208 --> 01:13:26,500
Mr. Pillai!
1157
01:13:26,625 --> 01:13:28,874
These British fellows don't like Germans.
1158
01:13:28,875 --> 01:13:30,332
Nor do they like our Naidu.
1159
01:13:30,333 --> 01:13:34,208
But you're saying you will join hands
with the Germans and do business?
1160
01:13:34,458 --> 01:13:36,582
He won't let you go out of this country.
1161
01:13:36,583 --> 01:13:39,249
Only God can help you get
the stamp of approval, Mr. Naidu.
1162
01:13:39,250 --> 01:13:41,625
Radha, we have an idea for that.
1163
01:13:41,916 --> 01:13:43,832
You know the razor blade
Naidu has invented?
1164
01:13:43,833 --> 01:13:45,125
UMS blade.
1165
01:13:45,500 --> 01:13:47,457
- What was the name of that place again…
- Leipzig.
1166
01:13:47,458 --> 01:13:48,540
Leipzig.
1167
01:13:48,541 --> 01:13:50,500
We'll attend a trade fair in that city
1168
01:13:50,750 --> 01:13:52,458
to showcase the blade over there.
1169
01:13:52,625 --> 01:13:54,458
We have got the nomination
1170
01:13:54,833 --> 01:13:56,333
and the invitation too.
1171
01:13:56,583 --> 01:13:58,582
We go to display the blade
1172
01:13:58,583 --> 01:14:00,541
and seal the car deal at the same time.
1173
01:14:00,833 --> 01:14:02,125
Remarkable!
1174
01:14:02,250 --> 01:14:04,457
You're doing this
for the good of our people.
1175
01:14:04,458 --> 01:14:05,874
Everything will be for the good.
1176
01:14:05,875 --> 01:14:07,875
Forget the good outcome.
1177
01:14:08,041 --> 01:14:09,874
Look at the trouble
coming right behind you.
1178
01:14:09,875 --> 01:14:10,958
They are here?
1179
01:14:16,291 --> 01:14:20,124
Sir, we saw you driving
a prototype car this morning.
1180
01:14:20,125 --> 01:14:22,124
- It's illegal.
- Car, huh?
1181
01:14:22,125 --> 01:14:24,624
Mr. Naidu, why haven't you
taken us for a drive yet?
1182
01:14:24,625 --> 01:14:27,332
Wouldn't he have taken us for a drive
if such a car existed?
1183
01:14:27,333 --> 01:14:28,915
What are you saying, officer?
1184
01:14:28,916 --> 01:14:30,457
Are you acting funny with me, sir?
1185
01:14:30,458 --> 01:14:34,000
Are we his friends or family
to pull his leg?
1186
01:14:34,333 --> 01:14:35,875
Constables, search!
1187
01:14:36,125 --> 01:14:37,374
Search thoroughly.
1188
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!
1189
01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:47,083
You couldn't find such a big car?
1190
01:14:48,083 --> 01:14:49,083
Sir.
1191
01:14:49,666 --> 01:14:53,000
It took us only one hour to locate him.
1192
01:14:54,083 --> 01:14:57,708
But by then, he had dismantled
the car and removed all traces of it.
1193
01:14:58,125 --> 01:15:00,624
We were unable to catch him
with the car intact, sir.
1194
01:15:00,625 --> 01:15:01,708
Constables.
1195
01:15:03,083 --> 01:15:04,083
Sir, look at this.
1196
01:15:04,625 --> 01:15:06,915
G. D. Naidu's new scheme
to build a house in 24 hours.
1197
01:15:06,916 --> 01:15:09,040
He has invited V. V. Giri
to inaugurate the foundation.
1198
01:15:09,041 --> 01:15:11,499
He built the house in just one day
and even invited V.V. Giri
1199
01:15:11,500 --> 01:15:13,666
{\an8}to inaugurate it the very same evening.
1200
01:15:13,916 --> 01:15:15,457
{\an8}He has gone way beyond our grasp.
1201
01:15:15,458 --> 01:15:17,833
{\an8}Trying to nab him is
becoming tougher by the day.
1202
01:15:22,208 --> 01:15:23,625
{\an8}- Killi.
- Sir?
1203
01:15:24,166 --> 01:15:26,291
{\an8}A man is piling up a list of wrongdoings.
1204
01:15:26,958 --> 01:15:28,541
How far can he go?
1205
01:15:29,125 --> 01:15:30,458
Let me wait and watch.
1206
01:15:36,958 --> 01:15:39,583
{\an8}EN ROUTE GERMANY
1207
01:15:43,708 --> 01:15:46,124
Shall we place
that chassis blueprint on top?
1208
01:15:46,125 --> 01:15:47,000
Yes.
1209
01:15:54,666 --> 01:15:57,208
Mom, it's broken.
1210
01:16:06,375 --> 01:16:07,957
- What, Sundaram?
- Sir?
1211
01:16:07,958 --> 01:16:10,415
Your body is moving forward
but your eyeballs are reversing!
1212
01:16:10,416 --> 01:16:12,582
Sir, we have spent 30 days on this ship.
1213
01:16:12,583 --> 01:16:14,165
My eyes can see only miles of blue sea.
1214
01:16:14,166 --> 01:16:16,915
That was just a simple act
of appreciating beauty, sir.
1215
01:16:16,916 --> 01:16:18,749
Sundaram, please bring that over here.
1216
01:16:18,750 --> 01:16:19,875
What… Oh, this?
1217
01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:26,290
Thank you, madam.
1218
01:16:26,291 --> 01:16:28,790
In broad daylight?
That too in front of our boss?
1219
01:16:28,791 --> 01:16:29,833
That's alright.
1220
01:16:30,208 --> 01:16:31,499
Is that whiskey?
1221
01:16:31,500 --> 01:16:33,250
It is whiskey but not for drinking.
1222
01:16:33,541 --> 01:16:35,041
- Then for what?
- For this nick.
1223
01:16:36,833 --> 01:16:37,958
How did that happen?
1224
01:16:38,208 --> 01:16:39,791
Sir, I used our UMS blade.
1225
01:16:39,958 --> 01:16:42,541
Even after 20 shaves,
it stayed sharp as ever.
1226
01:16:42,791 --> 01:16:45,250
But the rocking of this ship
caused this mild cut.
1227
01:16:45,666 --> 01:16:48,040
When you shave,
there should be no cuts or nicks.
1228
01:16:48,041 --> 01:16:50,915
We need a blade
that glides softly as butter.
1229
01:16:50,916 --> 01:16:52,833
Imagine the satisfaction you will get.
1230
01:16:53,708 --> 01:16:56,499
You should not use a butter knife
to slice a loaf of bread, Louisa.
1231
01:16:56,500 --> 01:16:58,457
Use the knife with serrated edges.
1232
01:16:58,458 --> 01:17:00,958
Only then will it cut smoothly
and perfectly.
1233
01:17:41,791 --> 01:17:45,041
Sir, I told you
only because I nicked my throat.
1234
01:17:45,500 --> 01:17:47,375
You've attached a motor to shave now.
1235
01:17:47,625 --> 01:17:49,749
Now I'll have scars all over
like shovel marks.
1236
01:17:49,750 --> 01:17:51,332
Don't worry.
Nothing will happen.
1237
01:17:51,333 --> 01:17:54,708
This is a small sacrifice to see
if your boss's invention works.
1238
01:17:55,041 --> 01:17:59,207
When new drugs are discovered in the West,
scientists experiment on lab mice.
1239
01:17:59,208 --> 01:18:00,541
This is the same situation.
1240
01:18:00,666 --> 01:18:01,708
Mice?
1241
01:18:02,541 --> 01:18:05,415
He has a better beard than mine.
Why not experiment on him?
1242
01:18:05,416 --> 01:18:07,666
I've taken a vow for Lord Murugan.
1243
01:18:08,916 --> 01:18:10,416
You can't tamper with it.
1244
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:12,625
Okay, first you try.
1245
01:18:13,958 --> 01:18:15,083
Lord Murugan.
1246
01:18:48,833 --> 01:18:49,708
Sir.
1247
01:18:50,083 --> 01:18:51,958
Not even a single nick on my face.
1248
01:18:52,791 --> 01:18:55,333
Your skin is as soft as a baby's bottom.
1249
01:18:55,750 --> 01:18:58,707
Sir, if Hitler tries to shave
with this razor,
1250
01:18:58,708 --> 01:19:00,749
he will be astounded by your invention.
1251
01:19:00,750 --> 01:19:04,208
Sir, we must definitely send this
to the next trade fair competition.
1252
01:19:06,666 --> 01:19:08,540
Sir, I found out
the meaning of your words.
1253
01:19:08,541 --> 01:19:10,290
Rasant means fast in German.
1254
01:19:10,291 --> 01:19:12,582
- A wonderful name for our razor.
- Yes, Pillai.
1255
01:19:12,583 --> 01:19:14,665
Rasant razor which we will
manufacture and sell
1256
01:19:14,666 --> 01:19:18,165
should be the first cost-effective
vibrating electric shaver in the world.
1257
01:19:18,166 --> 01:19:21,125
Yes, Naidu, we can find
good electric motors in Germany.
1258
01:19:21,250 --> 01:19:23,749
We can buy this handle from Switzerland.
1259
01:19:23,750 --> 01:19:26,707
Then this steel required
to make the blade…
1260
01:19:26,708 --> 01:19:28,540
We can import it from Sweden.
1261
01:19:28,541 --> 01:19:30,124
We can set up a factory in Coimbatore.
1262
01:19:30,125 --> 01:19:31,541
Brilliant idea!
1263
01:19:31,791 --> 01:19:33,208
He's here. He's here.
1264
01:19:38,458 --> 01:19:40,750
- Should we also raise our hands?
- No, no need.
1265
01:19:52,083 --> 01:19:53,165
One second.
1266
01:19:53,166 --> 01:19:54,624
- No…
- Just one photo.
1267
01:19:54,625 --> 01:19:56,082
One photo.
1268
01:19:56,083 --> 01:19:58,415
Hey! Let go.
Where are you taking me?
1269
01:19:58,416 --> 01:19:59,790
Let go of him.
1270
01:19:59,791 --> 01:20:01,000
Sir…
1271
01:20:08,750 --> 01:20:11,416
All of you, go that side, quick.
1272
01:20:18,750 --> 01:20:19,999
What, sir? What is the matter?
1273
01:20:20,000 --> 01:20:21,458
Search and seizure operation.
1274
01:20:21,791 --> 01:20:23,916
- On what basis?
- Based on suspicion.
1275
01:20:24,375 --> 01:20:27,582
The machines Naidu used for counterfeiting
and the fake notes are hoarded here
1276
01:20:27,583 --> 01:20:29,915
according to the information
we have received.
1277
01:20:29,916 --> 01:20:32,500
Do you have any factual evidence
for your assertions?
1278
01:20:33,000 --> 01:20:35,082
You acted on some random tip
and decided to raid us.
1279
01:20:35,083 --> 01:20:38,415
We got word of unaccounted cash
and gold being stashed here.
1280
01:20:38,416 --> 01:20:40,000
- Who the hell said so, man?
- Hey!
1281
01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:44,083
- Mohan.
- Sir.
1282
01:20:44,625 --> 01:20:45,958
Where is the Accounts room?
1283
01:20:46,208 --> 01:20:47,207
No one should move.
1284
01:20:47,208 --> 01:20:48,540
Those of you outside
should not enter.
1285
01:20:48,541 --> 01:20:50,333
Those inside should not exit.
1286
01:20:51,416 --> 01:20:53,832
What's the use of being flustered now?
1287
01:20:53,833 --> 01:20:54,916
Excuse me, madam.
1288
01:20:56,625 --> 01:20:58,915
They want access to our Accounts room.
1289
01:20:58,916 --> 01:21:00,375
How can we do that?
1290
01:21:00,500 --> 01:21:02,499
I can seat them in the meeting hall
and get the docume--
1291
01:21:02,500 --> 01:21:03,625
Mr. Achudhan.
1292
01:21:04,083 --> 01:21:06,500
Just give whichever room
they need access to.
1293
01:21:07,750 --> 01:21:10,291
We should be scared
only if we are hiding something.
1294
01:21:10,750 --> 01:21:12,457
At a time when the boss isn't here…
1295
01:21:12,458 --> 01:21:15,083
Even if he had been here,
he would have done the same.
1296
01:21:15,875 --> 01:21:17,207
POLICE
1297
01:21:17,208 --> 01:21:18,416
What is this city, sir?
1298
01:21:18,666 --> 01:21:20,875
Will they arrest us
just for clicking photos?
1299
01:21:21,166 --> 01:21:22,500
- Sundaram.
- Sir?
1300
01:21:22,666 --> 01:21:24,915
I heard they don't allow
anyone to utter a single word.
1301
01:21:24,916 --> 01:21:27,625
Only their guns do the talking, it seems.
1302
01:21:27,916 --> 01:21:30,250
Our Naidu lets his tongue
run when riled up.
1303
01:21:30,708 --> 01:21:32,708
- Wonder what is happening.
- Sir.
1304
01:21:33,333 --> 01:21:35,625
Why? Let us think positive.
1305
01:21:36,041 --> 01:21:37,166
Wishful thinking.
1306
01:21:37,333 --> 01:21:40,374
Can you arrange
for his release now?
1307
01:21:40,375 --> 01:21:42,416
- Sure.
- Henrick.
1308
01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:44,374
No need to be scared.
1309
01:21:44,375 --> 01:21:45,499
He is right here.
1310
01:21:45,500 --> 01:21:46,708
Come with me.
1311
01:21:49,583 --> 01:21:52,332
They released him.
But he refused to leave.
1312
01:21:52,333 --> 01:21:53,832
What is going on in his mind?
1313
01:21:53,833 --> 01:21:56,291
Whatever wretchedness
only he has to blurt it out.
1314
01:22:17,958 --> 01:22:19,333
Oh, no!
1315
01:22:27,375 --> 01:22:28,500
What is this, Pillai?
1316
01:22:29,041 --> 01:22:31,374
I thought you would take
at least two months to track me down.
1317
01:22:31,375 --> 01:22:33,041
But here you are in two days.
1318
01:22:33,291 --> 01:22:34,624
Sir, what is this?
1319
01:22:34,625 --> 01:22:37,124
Be practical.
It's freezing cold outside.
1320
01:22:37,125 --> 01:22:38,332
If I ask for a vegetarian meal,
1321
01:22:38,333 --> 01:22:41,082
without making a face, they serve
unlimited, piping hot food.
1322
01:22:41,083 --> 01:22:42,125
I have an idea.
1323
01:22:42,500 --> 01:22:43,999
Why don't you both
finish all the work?
1324
01:22:44,000 --> 01:22:45,249
I'll stay here a couple of days.
1325
01:22:45,250 --> 01:22:46,708
Is this your idea of a joke?
1326
01:22:47,083 --> 01:22:50,583
Our blade is being awarded
a prize at the Leipzig Fair.
1327
01:22:50,916 --> 01:22:52,625
How can we receive it without you?
1328
01:22:55,041 --> 01:22:56,666
- Is that true, Pillai?
- Yes.
1329
01:23:01,541 --> 01:23:03,541
Come on. Don't dawdle.
1330
01:23:03,791 --> 01:23:04,875
I'm going.
1331
01:23:06,208 --> 01:23:08,665
Don't eat anything offered to you
by anyone at the raid venue.
1332
01:23:08,666 --> 01:23:10,832
- Everything is arranged by us, Mohan.
- Okay.
1333
01:23:10,833 --> 01:23:12,916
- Mohan.
- Sir, I've checked.
1334
01:23:13,375 --> 01:23:15,625
No black money or gold
is hoarded inside, sir.
1335
01:23:15,916 --> 01:23:17,749
Where were you
all this while, Mr. Mohan?
1336
01:23:17,750 --> 01:23:19,583
Checking the locker room downstairs--
1337
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:31,250
Hey! Police!
1338
01:23:31,708 --> 01:23:32,875
Call the fire force!
1339
01:23:34,166 --> 01:23:36,458
Sir, I am sure this is their doing.
1340
01:23:46,291 --> 01:23:50,290
Ladies and gentlemen, a huge round
of applause for Mr. G. Doraiswamy Naidu
1341
01:23:50,291 --> 01:23:53,916
for winning the prestigious
third prize at this year's Leipzig Fair.
1342
01:24:00,666 --> 01:24:05,250
LEIPZIG TRADE FAIR
1343
01:24:05,583 --> 01:24:06,666
Pillai.
1344
01:24:07,541 --> 01:24:09,875
This is an air-cooled engine.
I told you, right?
1345
01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:11,874
- So cheap and efficient.
- Sir.
1346
01:24:11,875 --> 01:24:14,290
We have got an appointment
with the Benz authorities.
1347
01:24:14,291 --> 01:24:16,666
- Shall we go?
- Come…
1348
01:24:24,875 --> 01:24:27,333
I've got a new idea
for the valve lock technology.
1349
01:24:30,166 --> 01:24:31,458
I'd like to show--
1350
01:24:31,625 --> 01:24:33,083
Naidu is here.
1351
01:24:33,541 --> 01:24:34,541
Naidu?
1352
01:24:37,208 --> 01:24:39,583
Mr. Naidu.
Congratulations on your award.
1353
01:24:40,166 --> 01:24:42,333
Danke schoen.
1354
01:24:45,250 --> 01:24:49,625
You are manufacturing
foreign spare parts in India.
1355
01:24:49,750 --> 01:24:52,040
Their business is being severely affected.
1356
01:24:52,041 --> 01:24:53,332
How is that possible, sir?
1357
01:24:53,333 --> 01:24:57,207
If car manufacturers don't hike the price
of spare parts for excess profit,
1358
01:24:57,208 --> 01:24:59,625
why would I manufacture them myself?
1359
01:25:03,833 --> 01:25:06,333
Don't get me wrong.
I meant it as a compliment.
1360
01:25:09,750 --> 01:25:11,582
We would like to collaborate with you.
1361
01:25:11,583 --> 01:25:13,416
Why don't you send us a proposal?
1362
01:25:13,750 --> 01:25:15,999
Oh, my God, sir.
I will be delighted to.
1363
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:17,666
- I didn't expect this.
- Of course.
1364
01:25:17,958 --> 01:25:18,916
Thank you.
1365
01:25:19,041 --> 01:25:20,957
Mr. Rudolph, about this
valve lock technology…
1366
01:25:20,958 --> 01:25:22,082
Later…
1367
01:25:22,083 --> 01:25:23,374
Come for coffee.
1368
01:25:23,375 --> 01:25:24,208
Yes.
1369
01:25:29,666 --> 01:25:33,000
{\an8}MADRAS HARBOR
1370
01:25:36,125 --> 01:25:37,832
Hello, G. D. Welcome back.
1371
01:25:37,833 --> 01:25:39,291
Hi, Doctor. How are you?
1372
01:25:39,458 --> 01:25:41,708
I am good as always.
Ranganayaki is waiting for you.
1373
01:25:45,583 --> 01:25:46,833
How are you, dear?
1374
01:25:49,250 --> 01:25:50,833
I'm good. How are you?
1375
01:25:51,541 --> 01:25:52,790
I am good too.
1376
01:25:52,791 --> 01:25:54,333
How is everyone at home?
1377
01:25:55,041 --> 01:25:56,250
They are doing well too.
1378
01:26:00,541 --> 01:26:02,500
You jinxed everything.
1379
01:26:03,083 --> 01:26:05,000
Such a downpour on our grove.
1380
01:26:05,750 --> 01:26:07,375
We didn't get a single mango.
1381
01:26:07,875 --> 01:26:09,082
And our house help, Devi,
1382
01:26:09,083 --> 01:26:11,750
has not come to clean the house
for more than a month.
1383
01:26:12,583 --> 01:26:15,665
Hey! Did you bring down the rice fritters
I had dried on the terrace?
1384
01:26:15,666 --> 01:26:17,291
- Yes, I did.
- Your favorite…
1385
01:26:18,708 --> 01:26:20,458
If they burn our documents,
1386
01:26:21,125 --> 01:26:24,000
we cannot prove that they levied
false tax penalties on us.
1387
01:26:24,166 --> 01:26:27,375
They made sure there is
no evidence whatsoever, sir.
1388
01:26:30,916 --> 01:26:32,416
They have set the fire, right?
1389
01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:36,333
No one can extinguish that fire hereafter.
1390
01:26:39,250 --> 01:26:40,166
Come on.
1391
01:26:46,875 --> 01:26:47,875
Greetings, sir.
1392
01:26:49,375 --> 01:26:51,875
Ramaiah Pillai,
say what you want to say and leave.
1393
01:26:52,250 --> 01:26:55,124
What is this, Sundaram?
Aren't the British our enemies?
1394
01:26:55,125 --> 01:26:56,958
We should actually be opposing them.
1395
01:26:57,125 --> 01:26:58,915
But our own people
seem to be our enemies.
1396
01:26:58,916 --> 01:27:00,583
To traitors like you,
1397
01:27:01,416 --> 01:27:03,416
we will appear like enemies, Pillai.
1398
01:27:03,958 --> 01:27:05,166
Your wit is commendable!
1399
01:27:05,500 --> 01:27:08,250
The Industrial Revolution
in our Kongu belt
1400
01:27:08,416 --> 01:27:10,624
will transform into our nation's growth.
1401
01:27:10,625 --> 01:27:12,957
We have been planning
with foresight, you see.
1402
01:27:12,958 --> 01:27:14,500
Yes, we are traitors.
1403
01:27:15,000 --> 01:27:18,083
If diligent taxpayers say this,
we can listen with due respect.
1404
01:27:18,666 --> 01:27:21,833
You are so confident because
the tax documents are burnt, right?
1405
01:27:22,375 --> 01:27:23,833
Hey, my dear boys.
1406
01:27:24,166 --> 01:27:27,750
Bring in all our documents
they assume they have burnt.
1407
01:27:39,666 --> 01:27:41,040
Look at them coming in a line.
1408
01:27:41,041 --> 01:27:42,750
Like a millipede.
1409
01:27:43,083 --> 01:27:45,790
Come at a brisk pace
and put them down in one swift motion.
1410
01:27:45,791 --> 01:27:47,915
Look how they dropped it
stirring a cloud of dust.
1411
01:27:47,916 --> 01:27:49,374
What are you staring at?
1412
01:27:49,375 --> 01:27:51,083
These are our original documents.
1413
01:27:51,708 --> 01:27:53,291
You burnt the copies.
1414
01:27:53,416 --> 01:27:57,875
Our Naidu takes four copies
of every single document.
1415
01:27:58,333 --> 01:28:02,833
Be they documents, office letters,
personal letters, and…
1416
01:28:04,250 --> 01:28:06,166
He takes copies of love letters too.
1417
01:28:07,208 --> 01:28:09,000
All the documents are original, sir.
1418
01:28:10,416 --> 01:28:12,333
Scan the files thoroughly.
1419
01:28:12,708 --> 01:28:13,916
Our boys, sit down.
1420
01:28:14,708 --> 01:28:17,333
Let's see if the documents
burn or float today.
1421
01:28:17,541 --> 01:28:19,749
Sir, please, you are not
permitted to sit like this.
1422
01:28:19,750 --> 01:28:21,208
Then I'll change my position.
1423
01:28:22,291 --> 01:28:23,291
Mohan.
1424
01:28:23,458 --> 01:28:24,458
Let them be.
1425
01:28:25,416 --> 01:28:26,707
These documents.
1426
01:28:26,708 --> 01:28:28,540
Start checking them.
1427
01:28:28,541 --> 01:28:30,291
- Yes, sir.
- Call our entire staff.
1428
01:28:50,833 --> 01:28:51,875
What is this?
1429
01:28:53,000 --> 01:28:55,208
Why are you humiliating me like this?
1430
01:28:56,833 --> 01:29:00,541
Naidu's papers and accounts
are in perfect order.
1431
01:29:01,375 --> 01:29:04,583
Then how are our documents
showing such stark differences?
1432
01:29:06,625 --> 01:29:07,625
What?
1433
01:29:07,750 --> 01:29:09,375
What have you been up to?
1434
01:29:11,166 --> 01:29:13,250
Respected honest officer.
1435
01:29:14,875 --> 01:29:18,166
Will you fight among yourselves
or listen to what we have to say?
1436
01:29:19,375 --> 01:29:20,666
Not just UMS.
1437
01:29:20,958 --> 01:29:23,125
Our factories,
educational institutions,
1438
01:29:23,583 --> 01:29:25,082
all our records will be perfect.
1439
01:29:25,083 --> 01:29:27,333
Open it for inspection
for anyone at any time.
1440
01:29:28,375 --> 01:29:31,875
I chose not to pay the penalty
your government unjustly enforced on me.
1441
01:29:32,833 --> 01:29:36,166
Instead of learning how
to burn records using phosphorus,
1442
01:29:36,625 --> 01:29:40,458
you can learn why your government
is targeting me repeatedly, right?
1443
01:29:41,125 --> 01:29:42,374
Let me repeat your golden words.
1444
01:29:42,375 --> 01:29:44,000
People cannot be trusted.
1445
01:29:44,791 --> 01:29:46,458
Only papers speak the truth.
1446
01:29:47,833 --> 01:29:49,916
Our papers have revealed the truth to you.
1447
01:29:51,583 --> 01:29:53,250
Who will you suspect now?
1448
01:29:58,458 --> 01:29:59,458
I'll take leave.
1449
01:30:02,000 --> 01:30:06,041
Naidu ironed out the alleged creases of
his papers and crumpled Krishnan's policy.
1450
01:30:16,458 --> 01:30:18,165
G. D. NAIDU HONORED IN GERMANY
1451
01:30:18,166 --> 01:30:19,250
Sir?
1452
01:30:20,708 --> 01:30:23,125
- Did you read this news?
- Yes.
1453
01:30:23,791 --> 01:30:24,750
Sir.
1454
01:30:24,916 --> 01:30:27,124
We have applications
for new business ventures.
1455
01:30:27,125 --> 01:30:28,458
Your signature is required.
1456
01:30:28,625 --> 01:30:31,499
Hereafter, if someone
wants to start a business,
1457
01:30:31,500 --> 01:30:33,583
you should tell them
to meet me personally.
1458
01:30:34,291 --> 01:30:37,833
They'd start a business in the names
of their pets and bring me trouble!
1459
01:30:38,250 --> 01:30:39,708
Hey, sit down. Sit and eat.
1460
01:30:42,083 --> 01:30:44,624
Sir, Naidu is claiming
to be a true Gandhian
1461
01:30:44,625 --> 01:30:46,790
and is refusing to pay tax to the British.
1462
01:30:46,791 --> 01:30:49,999
But he has manufactured and sold
a mica capacitor for their Ham radio.
1463
01:30:50,000 --> 01:30:52,583
Is he for or against the British?
I don't understand.
1464
01:30:55,041 --> 01:30:56,291
Sir, I have an idea.
1465
01:30:56,541 --> 01:30:58,749
For selling mica capacitors
to Hitler and the Nazi regime,
1466
01:30:58,750 --> 01:31:01,749
we can file a complaint framing him
and convince the Governor General.
1467
01:31:01,750 --> 01:31:04,499
He will be labeled a national traitor
and jailed. End of story.
1468
01:31:04,500 --> 01:31:06,165
Why should we take the crooked route?
1469
01:31:06,166 --> 01:31:08,499
Because we've been unable
to touch him directly till now.
1470
01:31:08,500 --> 01:31:10,957
He keeps growing,
stacking up his inventions…
1471
01:31:10,958 --> 01:31:12,750
He keeps opening factories, sir!
1472
01:31:22,916 --> 01:31:24,333
EDUCATIONAL EXHIBITION
1473
01:31:51,916 --> 01:31:55,291
INDIA'S FIRST ELECTRIC MOTOR
BUILT IN COIMBATORE
1474
01:31:56,083 --> 01:31:57,083
Ranga.
1475
01:31:57,666 --> 01:31:58,708
Ranganayaki.
1476
01:32:01,083 --> 01:32:02,083
Hey, Doctor.
1477
01:32:02,333 --> 01:32:04,208
What are you doing on my wife's lap?
1478
01:32:04,750 --> 01:32:06,999
Come here!
GD, you have to hear this.
1479
01:32:07,000 --> 01:32:08,166
No.
1480
01:32:08,458 --> 01:32:09,666
You have to see this.
1481
01:32:14,958 --> 01:32:17,000
DAIMLER-BENZ PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANY
1482
01:32:22,666 --> 01:32:23,707
My dear.
1483
01:32:23,708 --> 01:32:24,999
Congratulations.
1484
01:32:25,000 --> 01:32:26,333
To you too, madam.
1485
01:32:26,833 --> 01:32:28,791
I'm leaving for Germany tomorrow night.
1486
01:32:30,291 --> 01:32:32,541
Hey, I will be back
in just two months, right?
1487
01:32:35,833 --> 01:32:37,124
STUTTGART, GERMANY
1488
01:32:37,125 --> 01:32:40,958
The tender number SMH 0139
1489
01:32:41,250 --> 01:32:45,041
has been awarded
to Mr. G. Doraiswamy Naidu.
1490
01:32:45,375 --> 01:32:48,875
United Motor Service,
Coimbatore, India.
1491
01:32:50,166 --> 01:32:53,083
Bidding for the tender is closed
for the next two years.
1492
01:32:54,458 --> 01:32:56,791
- Thank you.
- Congratulations, Naidu.
1493
01:32:57,416 --> 01:33:00,083
You Madrasis are bagging all the tenders.
1494
01:33:00,958 --> 01:33:02,707
- Mister…
- Bhupendar.
1495
01:33:02,708 --> 01:33:03,958
Bhupendar.
1496
01:33:05,208 --> 01:33:07,333
Next time, bring a solid
airtight proposal.
1497
01:33:07,708 --> 01:33:09,500
I'll withdraw my bid for you.
1498
01:33:10,208 --> 01:33:12,958
Whichever fellow-citizen
gets this order, I'll be happy.
1499
01:33:13,208 --> 01:33:14,250
Shall I take leave?
1500
01:33:15,250 --> 01:33:16,708
We got it as planned.
1501
01:33:30,375 --> 01:33:31,583
Krishnan!
1502
01:33:35,166 --> 01:33:36,000
Look at this.
1503
01:33:37,833 --> 01:33:40,624
This Naidu fellow has dared
to send me an invitation
1504
01:33:40,625 --> 01:33:43,291
to the National Electric Works
Factory inauguration.
1505
01:33:44,416 --> 01:33:48,041
Now, he's in Germany on a business trip.
1506
01:33:48,791 --> 01:33:52,166
This tax defaulter Naidu
is expanding his business everywhere.
1507
01:33:52,791 --> 01:33:54,625
What are we doing here, Krishnan?
1508
01:33:55,625 --> 01:33:57,124
Sir, for the past ten years,
1509
01:33:57,125 --> 01:34:00,291
Mr. Naidu has been
on our income tax red-list.
1510
01:34:00,708 --> 01:34:03,332
So his manufacturing license
can be easily cancel--
1511
01:34:03,333 --> 01:34:05,125
Krishnan, you don't understand.
1512
01:34:06,333 --> 01:34:08,750
How many red-listers
can you take action against?
1513
01:34:09,458 --> 01:34:11,624
We need to write to the Lieutenant General
1514
01:34:11,625 --> 01:34:15,833
stating that Naidu is doing business
with Germany and the Nazis
1515
01:34:16,291 --> 01:34:18,250
against the interests of the Crown.
1516
01:34:22,333 --> 01:34:23,790
This is treason.
1517
01:34:23,791 --> 01:34:24,707
Sir.
1518
01:34:24,708 --> 01:34:28,374
Prepare the necessary documents
to put a hold on his bank accounts.
1519
01:34:28,375 --> 01:34:29,625
- Now!
- Sir.
1520
01:34:32,458 --> 01:34:33,582
Madam.
1521
01:34:33,583 --> 01:34:37,125
That businessman Bhupendra
and Adams are responsible for all this?
1522
01:34:37,458 --> 01:34:39,915
Did they go to such lengths
to hinder someone's progress?
1523
01:34:39,916 --> 01:34:40,958
Yes, sir.
1524
01:34:41,125 --> 01:34:44,708
They branded him a national traitor
and froze all his bank accounts.
1525
01:34:45,083 --> 01:34:47,125
So all his factories had to be shut down.
1526
01:34:47,541 --> 01:34:51,458
{\an8}World War began in Germany
before Naidu could return to India.
1527
01:34:51,875 --> 01:34:53,083
He was stuck over there.
1528
01:34:53,583 --> 01:34:56,832
In India, Ranganayaki was distraught,
1529
01:34:56,833 --> 01:34:59,125
unable to answer
the families who trusted her.
1530
01:35:02,958 --> 01:35:07,250
The Second World War intensified
in Germany, so he was unable to leave.
1531
01:35:07,375 --> 01:35:11,583
He was penniless and fainted on the road
due to starvation.
1532
01:35:15,500 --> 01:35:16,540
Thanks to his good fortune.
1533
01:35:16,541 --> 01:35:21,041
At that crucial moment,
Gottlieb Stoll and his wife, Berta Stoll
1534
01:35:21,333 --> 01:35:23,415
rescued Naidu from the jaws of death
1535
01:35:23,416 --> 01:35:26,416
and extended all the help possible
to send him back to India.
1536
01:35:27,541 --> 01:35:31,416
Sir, I don't even know
when this World War began.
1537
01:35:32,416 --> 01:35:34,707
When I saw the Industrial Revolution
initiated by Hitler,
1538
01:35:34,708 --> 01:35:37,416
I thought he was developing
Germany to greater heights.
1539
01:35:37,875 --> 01:35:41,708
But I never imagined he would turn
into a bloodthirsty beast like this.
1540
01:35:43,791 --> 01:35:44,791
Mr. Stoll.
1541
01:35:45,458 --> 01:35:47,291
Do me one last favor, please.
1542
01:35:48,583 --> 01:35:49,958
My wife is pregnant.
1543
01:35:50,958 --> 01:35:52,958
I have to get back to India immediately.
1544
01:35:53,500 --> 01:35:55,333
If you can somehow arrange my return…
1545
01:35:57,333 --> 01:35:59,999
Because of the war, there were
no passenger ships to India.
1546
01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:02,165
So he had to travel to Italy from Germany,
1547
01:36:02,166 --> 01:36:05,165
then to America,
and from there to Japan.
1548
01:36:05,166 --> 01:36:08,916
And from Japan to India via Rangoon.
It took him more than a year to return.
1549
01:36:11,166 --> 01:36:13,665
The whole town is sure
that he will not return.
1550
01:36:13,666 --> 01:36:16,291
Turn your heart to stone
and accept the reality, dear.
1551
01:36:16,625 --> 01:36:20,208
You haven't even named your baby.
You are sitting here totally depressed.
1552
01:36:20,666 --> 01:36:23,833
I just can't bear to see you
in such a distressed state.
1553
01:36:24,000 --> 01:36:26,208
Will you please be quiet and go inside?
1554
01:36:36,458 --> 01:36:37,375
Hello?
1555
01:36:38,041 --> 01:36:38,958
R-Ranga.
1556
01:36:44,666 --> 01:36:45,791
How are you, dear?
1557
01:36:46,583 --> 01:36:48,000
How is everyone at home?
1558
01:36:56,916 --> 01:36:58,916
Your son and I…
1559
01:36:59,500 --> 01:37:00,500
We are fine.
1560
01:37:04,083 --> 01:37:05,083
Son?
1561
01:37:08,833 --> 01:37:10,041
What have you named him?
1562
01:37:10,250 --> 01:37:11,290
Who is it?
1563
01:37:11,291 --> 01:37:12,582
My dear. Come here.
1564
01:37:12,583 --> 01:37:16,291
Without you returning,
how will I name him?
1565
01:37:18,416 --> 01:37:19,416
Alright.
1566
01:37:22,583 --> 01:37:23,958
Tell baby Gopal
1567
01:37:24,416 --> 01:37:27,250
that his father will be there soon
to play with him, dear.
1568
01:37:51,666 --> 01:37:53,791
As soon as Naidu returned from Germany,
1569
01:37:53,958 --> 01:37:58,375
he started working at full throttle
to set up the Benz car factory.
1570
01:37:58,791 --> 01:38:03,041
He bought acres of land in Eachanari
and started work there too.
1571
01:38:03,583 --> 01:38:07,333
He was filled with excitement
that his lifelong dream was coming true.
1572
01:38:07,583 --> 01:38:09,582
People were eagerly looking forward
1573
01:38:09,583 --> 01:38:13,958
to the Benz factory in the Kongu belt
as a hallmark of Tamil Nadu.
1574
01:38:17,625 --> 01:38:20,375
I was at peace thinking
that Naidu was dead and gone.
1575
01:38:20,708 --> 01:38:24,250
Now he has bought land
to set up a car factory.
1576
01:38:24,875 --> 01:38:26,666
He has imported raw materials.
1577
01:38:28,000 --> 01:38:29,000
Adams.
1578
01:38:30,291 --> 01:38:31,875
I gave you everything you asked.
1579
01:38:32,333 --> 01:38:34,625
Could you put an end
to Naidu's winning streak?
1580
01:38:35,000 --> 01:38:36,875
I listened to your bloody advice
1581
01:38:37,625 --> 01:38:39,916
and lodged a treason case against him.
1582
01:38:41,125 --> 01:38:43,541
He filed a complaint against me
with the Governor
1583
01:38:44,166 --> 01:38:46,208
and I had to face a lengthy reprimand.
1584
01:38:46,958 --> 01:38:47,875
Listen.
1585
01:38:48,375 --> 01:38:50,958
Mountbatten is here early
to take us back home.
1586
01:38:53,583 --> 01:38:54,791
And it's official.
1587
01:38:55,458 --> 01:38:57,208
India is getting its independence.
1588
01:38:59,750 --> 01:39:01,000
Naidu will rejoice
1589
01:39:01,541 --> 01:39:05,625
imagining that all his troubles
will be over once the British depart.
1590
01:39:07,250 --> 01:39:08,958
He shall be informed, however,
1591
01:39:09,458 --> 01:39:11,749
that he must continue
to bear the penalties
1592
01:39:11,750 --> 01:39:14,083
that have been levied against him
by the British
1593
01:39:15,000 --> 01:39:17,333
even after India attains her independence.
1594
01:39:18,875 --> 01:39:20,291
He will remain pig-headed.
1595
01:39:20,958 --> 01:39:25,250
Arguing that these are unjust penalties
foisted upon him by the British.
1596
01:39:26,916 --> 01:39:28,666
He would demand a justification
1597
01:39:29,250 --> 01:39:31,000
and refuse to pay the penalties
1598
01:39:31,833 --> 01:39:34,208
until he receives a special dispensation.
1599
01:39:36,791 --> 01:39:41,083
This very obstinacy, you see,
will be his undoing.
1600
01:39:44,916 --> 01:39:49,250
I think… I've got the right man
for the job.
1601
01:40:03,666 --> 01:40:05,541
What did you say that man's name was?
1602
01:40:06,625 --> 01:40:07,708
G. D. Naidu.
1603
01:40:08,375 --> 01:40:10,583
If the money reaches the right hands,
1604
01:40:10,791 --> 01:40:12,625
your wish will be fulfilled.
1605
01:40:30,916 --> 01:40:34,332
On the occasion
of India's seventh Independence Day,
1606
01:40:34,333 --> 01:40:39,499
business prodigy G. D. Naidu has organized
a grand agricultural exhibition.
1607
01:40:39,500 --> 01:40:41,374
I welcome all of you
to enjoy this experience.
1608
01:40:41,375 --> 01:40:42,540
What is this, Naidu?
1609
01:40:42,541 --> 01:40:44,915
Started experimenting
with agriculture also?
1610
01:40:44,916 --> 01:40:45,958
Yes, Mr. Raman.
1611
01:40:46,458 --> 01:40:49,499
You studied physics.
So you experiment with physics.
1612
01:40:49,500 --> 01:40:51,249
I didn't even pass Grade Three.
1613
01:40:51,250 --> 01:40:52,874
So I can experiment with anything, right?
1614
01:40:52,875 --> 01:40:54,249
I agree to that, Naidu.
1615
01:40:54,250 --> 01:40:56,665
You are a man in a million.
You can do it.
1616
01:40:56,666 --> 01:40:58,415
Thank you very much, sir.
1617
01:40:58,416 --> 01:40:59,790
See that water tank over there?
1618
01:40:59,791 --> 01:41:02,290
- The land behind it--
- Sir, can I take a photo?
1619
01:41:02,291 --> 01:41:03,125
Yes.
1620
01:41:11,375 --> 01:41:12,500
Get back.
1621
01:41:12,708 --> 01:41:13,750
Stand back!
1622
01:41:14,208 --> 01:41:15,166
Shut this.
1623
01:41:16,958 --> 01:41:18,249
Thank you.
1624
01:41:18,250 --> 01:41:19,290
Mr. Raman.
1625
01:41:19,291 --> 01:41:20,333
He is Kurt Stoll.
1626
01:41:20,625 --> 01:41:23,875
My husband is alive today
thanks to his parents.
1627
01:41:24,041 --> 01:41:24,958
True, sir.
1628
01:41:25,416 --> 01:41:27,250
I am forever indebted to his family.
1629
01:41:27,500 --> 01:41:29,583
You could call it
a rough patch in my life.
1630
01:41:30,291 --> 01:41:32,250
You won't be facing any more hardships.
1631
01:41:32,458 --> 01:41:34,125
The British have left, right?
1632
01:41:34,291 --> 01:41:35,624
In Independent India,
1633
01:41:35,625 --> 01:41:38,165
you will achieve your dreams
and live life like a king.
1634
01:41:38,166 --> 01:41:39,208
Thank you, sir.
1635
01:41:43,083 --> 01:41:45,165
Roll down the shutter.
I'm telling you to move back.
1636
01:41:45,166 --> 01:41:46,624
Everyone, step back.
1637
01:41:46,625 --> 01:41:47,916
Go back, all of you!
1638
01:41:50,375 --> 01:41:51,708
Sir, I need to talk to you.
1639
01:41:52,125 --> 01:41:53,166
I'll be right back.
1640
01:41:53,416 --> 01:41:54,875
- Come.
- What is it, Pillai?
1641
01:41:56,666 --> 01:41:59,582
They have sent a notice
to seal four of our factories.
1642
01:41:59,583 --> 01:42:00,624
Wretched fellows!
1643
01:42:00,625 --> 01:42:02,082
- What?
- Yes.
1644
01:42:02,083 --> 01:42:03,125
Not only that.
1645
01:42:03,375 --> 01:42:06,666
The no-objection certificate
we require to collaborate with Benz…
1646
01:42:06,833 --> 01:42:08,875
The IT Department has refused to give it.
1647
01:42:10,958 --> 01:42:12,000
What is this, Pillai?
1648
01:42:18,416 --> 01:42:20,208
I thought we were in for good times.
1649
01:42:23,083 --> 01:42:26,208
Can't we talk
to the government regarding this?
1650
01:42:26,583 --> 01:42:27,750
To this government?
1651
01:42:29,333 --> 01:42:33,374
I begged them for an Inquiry Commission
to prove
1652
01:42:33,375 --> 01:42:35,375
the tax penalties levied on me are fake.
1653
01:42:35,916 --> 01:42:37,250
But I got no response.
1654
01:42:38,583 --> 01:42:40,749
Now they have forcibly
shut down my factories
1655
01:42:40,750 --> 01:42:41,833
and sealed them.
1656
01:42:42,333 --> 01:42:44,166
What is the point of talking to them?
1657
01:43:02,875 --> 01:43:03,958
Hello?
1658
01:43:04,500 --> 01:43:05,957
- Hello, Mr. Naidu.
- Hello.
1659
01:43:05,958 --> 01:43:07,916
Hello, Mr. Rudolph. How are you?
1660
01:43:10,750 --> 01:43:15,208
The letter you sent explaining
your situation reached us very late, sir.
1661
01:43:16,000 --> 01:43:16,958
We are very sorry.
1662
01:43:19,250 --> 01:43:20,457
Thank you for your--
1663
01:43:20,458 --> 01:43:22,541
Thank you for your concern, Mr. Rudolph.
1664
01:43:23,083 --> 01:43:24,083
Thank you very much.
1665
01:43:25,250 --> 01:43:26,625
- Mr. Naidu.
- Yes?
1666
01:43:27,625 --> 01:43:32,041
Mr. Rudolph expresses his regret
for failing to collaborate with you.
1667
01:43:32,666 --> 01:43:35,125
He is asking this out
of utmost regard for you.
1668
01:43:35,541 --> 01:43:37,875
Now that we are unable
to collaborate with you,
1669
01:43:38,041 --> 01:43:41,750
he's asking which Indian company
you can recommend for this.
1670
01:43:43,791 --> 01:43:46,500
Thank you for the respect
you have for me, Mr. Rudolph.
1671
01:43:47,541 --> 01:43:48,666
Very kind of you.
1672
01:43:51,000 --> 01:43:52,333
According to me,
1673
01:43:53,416 --> 01:43:56,791
the right name to collaborate
with your company…
1674
01:43:58,333 --> 01:44:00,625
Tata Moto--
It's Tata Motors company.
1675
01:44:01,041 --> 01:44:02,083
Tata Motors.
1676
01:44:03,291 --> 01:44:05,040
Thank you very mu--
I wish you all the--
1677
01:44:05,041 --> 01:44:06,750
I wish you all the very best!
1678
01:44:09,000 --> 01:44:09,833
Thank you.
1679
01:44:25,083 --> 01:44:28,500
You know what a big deal it is
to manufacture Benz cars in Coimbatore?
1680
01:44:35,666 --> 01:44:39,708
…has been awarded
to Mr. G. Doraiswamy Naidu.
1681
01:44:40,041 --> 01:44:42,000
DAIMLER-BENZ PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANY
1682
01:45:22,208 --> 01:45:23,915
Where is this Ambalapara Krishnan?
1683
01:45:23,916 --> 01:45:24,958
Hey, Krishnan!
1684
01:45:25,375 --> 01:45:28,082
True to your word, you've robbed
our Naidu of his sleep.
1685
01:45:28,083 --> 01:45:29,124
Look here.
1686
01:45:29,125 --> 01:45:33,249
Sealing his factory or sneakily
withdrawing the Benz company order
1687
01:45:33,250 --> 01:45:34,915
is not why he lost his precious sleep!
1688
01:45:34,916 --> 01:45:37,374
Thousands of workers lost their jobs.
1689
01:45:37,375 --> 01:45:39,624
You hit them
where it hurt the most, you see.
1690
01:45:39,625 --> 01:45:41,415
That is why he lost his sleep!
1691
01:45:41,416 --> 01:45:45,124
As per the papers, your Naidu
has not paid tax for many years.
1692
01:45:45,125 --> 01:45:46,790
The day he pays up,
1693
01:45:46,791 --> 01:45:49,790
I will decide how to treat your Naidu!
1694
01:45:49,791 --> 01:45:52,040
Why do you keep harping "papers"
all the time?
1695
01:45:52,041 --> 01:45:55,333
The British wipe their butt
with that same paper!
1696
01:45:55,750 --> 01:45:57,708
I want to know.
Aren't you human too?
1697
01:45:57,833 --> 01:46:00,415
Thousands of people
lost their jobs because of you.
1698
01:46:00,416 --> 01:46:02,040
Won't your conscience nag you?
1699
01:46:02,041 --> 01:46:03,332
Won't it prick you?
1700
01:46:03,333 --> 01:46:04,540
I'll wait and watch.
1701
01:46:04,541 --> 01:46:06,166
Let me see how you sleep soundly.
1702
01:46:21,041 --> 01:46:22,791
Sir, don't worry.
1703
01:46:23,041 --> 01:46:25,000
All this time, you were with us.
1704
01:46:25,166 --> 01:46:27,790
No matter what you decide,
we will support you.
1705
01:46:27,791 --> 01:46:28,874
Yes, sir.
1706
01:46:28,875 --> 01:46:30,458
We are with you, sir.
1707
01:46:30,625 --> 01:46:32,166
Greetings to everyone.
1708
01:46:33,416 --> 01:46:35,125
We have done nothing wrong.
1709
01:46:36,541 --> 01:46:39,375
Those who are jealous of us
are trying to topple us down.
1710
01:46:40,000 --> 01:46:41,833
But if they close one door,
1711
01:46:42,416 --> 01:46:44,333
we will open a hundred more doors.
1712
01:46:45,125 --> 01:46:48,665
Those who go in search of opportunities
will feel bad if they don't succeed.
1713
01:46:48,666 --> 01:46:50,583
But to those who create opportunities,
1714
01:46:51,041 --> 01:46:53,000
the word "regret" never exists!
1715
01:46:53,791 --> 01:46:55,875
All of us belong to one family.
1716
01:46:56,666 --> 01:46:58,708
If our family faces a problem,
1717
01:46:58,958 --> 01:47:00,500
will we give in and back down?
1718
01:47:01,000 --> 01:47:04,000
None of you need to worry about anything.
1719
01:47:04,416 --> 01:47:07,083
Until our factories are opened again,
1720
01:47:07,333 --> 01:47:10,083
all of you will be paid your due salary!
1721
01:47:11,750 --> 01:47:13,000
You will have jobs too.
1722
01:47:14,791 --> 01:47:17,250
For the steel factory
to be set up in Podanur
1723
01:47:17,750 --> 01:47:21,040
and the car factory in Eachanari,
our boss has bought land, right?
1724
01:47:21,041 --> 01:47:24,583
We will turn those lands
into agricultural lands.
1725
01:47:25,083 --> 01:47:27,166
We will get knee-deep into farming.
1726
01:47:27,833 --> 01:47:31,500
We will create our own job opportunities.
1727
01:47:31,666 --> 01:47:32,874
- Mr. G. D. Naidu!
- Our pillar of strength!
1728
01:47:32,875 --> 01:47:34,124
- Mr. G. D. Naidu!
- Long live!
1729
01:47:34,125 --> 01:47:35,249
Mr. G. D. Naidu!
1730
01:47:35,250 --> 01:47:36,582
- Mr. G. D. Naidu!
- Our inspiration!
1731
01:47:36,583 --> 01:47:37,707
Mr. G. D. Naidu!
1732
01:47:37,708 --> 01:47:39,332
- Mr. G. D. Naidu!
- Our beacon of light!
1733
01:47:39,333 --> 01:47:41,041
- Mr. G. D. Naidu!
- Long live!
1734
01:47:44,833 --> 01:47:46,041
How unfair, sir!
1735
01:47:47,625 --> 01:47:49,165
In India, for the first time
in Coimbatore,
1736
01:47:49,166 --> 01:47:51,416
Mercedes-Benz factory
should have been set up.
1737
01:47:52,458 --> 01:47:54,041
We lost that golden legacy, sir.
1738
01:47:55,083 --> 01:47:57,250
We missed a glorious chapter in history.
1739
01:47:58,125 --> 01:47:59,875
It would have created a revolution.
1740
01:48:03,125 --> 01:48:06,125
Our own people crushed
Naidu's dream, sir.
1741
01:48:07,583 --> 01:48:08,708
Why feel bad, madam?
1742
01:48:08,833 --> 01:48:11,458
If one business is closed,
he launches a new venture.
1743
01:48:11,791 --> 01:48:13,624
As soon as the Benz contract
slipped from his hand,
1744
01:48:13,625 --> 01:48:15,832
he turned the very same land
into a productive farmland.
1745
01:48:15,833 --> 01:48:17,707
{\an8}Even the British couldn't do anything.
1746
01:48:17,708 --> 01:48:19,333
{\an8}How can our politicians stop him?
1747
01:48:19,708 --> 01:48:20,708
{\an8}But they did.
1748
01:48:22,625 --> 01:48:26,416
{\an8}After plotting for eight years, they
finally unleashed their ultimate weapon.
1749
01:48:29,208 --> 01:48:32,041
EIGHT YEARS LATER
1750
01:48:33,708 --> 01:48:37,250
All I wanted was to secure
that automobile contract for myself.
1751
01:48:38,000 --> 01:48:40,416
But Naidu gave it on a platter
to someone else.
1752
01:48:41,416 --> 01:48:44,833
The amount of hardship I am
going through because of him…
1753
01:48:46,541 --> 01:48:49,458
He must suffer a thousandfold or more
1754
01:48:51,166 --> 01:48:52,791
and end up on the streets.
1755
01:48:53,791 --> 01:48:55,457
To complete this task,
1756
01:48:55,458 --> 01:48:57,958
Krishnan has been promoted
to a dummy officer.
1757
01:48:58,166 --> 01:49:00,457
I have given you power
that goes with your position.
1758
01:49:00,458 --> 01:49:02,500
I have given the money you wanted too.
1759
01:49:04,916 --> 01:49:05,958
Killi.
1760
01:49:06,458 --> 01:49:08,708
- How many children do you have?
- Three, sir.
1761
01:49:09,583 --> 01:49:11,708
Make sure they do not end up as orphans!
1762
01:49:16,958 --> 01:49:17,916
Sir?
1763
01:49:18,583 --> 01:49:20,000
You have entrusted it to me.
1764
01:49:20,458 --> 01:49:21,875
I will not break your trust.
1765
01:49:24,250 --> 01:49:26,916
Sir. They plan to confiscate
80 percent of his assets?
1766
01:49:27,041 --> 01:49:28,083
Yes.
1767
01:49:29,291 --> 01:49:31,332
Even if they charge
atrocious amounts of interest,
1768
01:49:31,333 --> 01:49:33,750
even if his penalty is genuine,
1769
01:49:35,000 --> 01:49:38,875
we can legally seize
only 13 percent of his assets.
1770
01:49:40,416 --> 01:49:42,291
Sir, how is this fair by any standard?
1771
01:49:43,666 --> 01:49:44,666
Mohan.
1772
01:49:45,125 --> 01:49:47,541
The system I respected
with all my heart…
1773
01:49:48,041 --> 01:49:51,208
The papers I signed with due respect…
1774
01:49:52,333 --> 01:49:54,375
They have tarnished everything totally.
1775
01:49:55,500 --> 01:49:57,708
Tampering with the account documents,
1776
01:49:59,083 --> 01:50:02,415
fabricating a link between
Naidu and the Nazis,
1777
01:50:02,416 --> 01:50:05,208
foisting a false case without
a shred of shame or regret,
1778
01:50:05,500 --> 01:50:08,208
burning all his legal documents
using phosphorus…
1779
01:50:10,041 --> 01:50:13,541
They needed a Perunkilli
to do all their dirty work!
1780
01:50:15,083 --> 01:50:17,707
Sir, because of the atrocities
within our department,
1781
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.
1782
01:50:22,583 --> 01:50:24,166
We should take some action, sir.
1783
01:50:26,208 --> 01:50:27,291
Whatever is on paper,
1784
01:50:27,666 --> 01:50:29,875
I am used to executing only those orders.
1785
01:50:30,541 --> 01:50:32,333
My life has become like that.
1786
01:50:33,416 --> 01:50:35,333
Whatever you think is prim and proper,
1787
01:50:35,500 --> 01:50:36,666
please carry it out.
1788
01:50:38,416 --> 01:50:39,500
Sir?
1789
01:50:40,291 --> 01:50:41,416
Mohan.
1790
01:50:41,750 --> 01:50:44,082
Whatever you think is correct…
1791
01:50:44,083 --> 01:50:45,958
Execute it exactly like that.
1792
01:51:46,208 --> 01:51:48,291
They have decided
to destroy me completely.
1793
01:51:49,666 --> 01:51:51,500
First, they snatched
my dream from me.
1794
01:51:52,708 --> 01:51:54,625
Now they are targeting my assets.
1795
01:52:13,458 --> 01:52:14,540
Sir?
1796
01:52:14,541 --> 01:52:18,041
What are you doing, sir? Why are
you planting a bomb in our own office?
1797
01:52:19,333 --> 01:52:21,540
They are coming
to seize the building, right?
1798
01:52:21,541 --> 01:52:23,333
Then they need a building to do so.
1799
01:52:23,583 --> 01:52:24,832
- Sundaram?
- Sir.
1800
01:52:24,833 --> 01:52:26,291
Don't even ask me permission.
1801
01:52:26,666 --> 01:52:29,582
If they come to confiscate my property,
ask our people to evacuate.
1802
01:52:29,583 --> 01:52:31,416
Then press this, understood?
1803
01:52:31,541 --> 01:52:33,250
- Sir?
- Please.
1804
01:52:34,375 --> 01:52:36,082
Don't ask me questions, Sundaram.
1805
01:52:36,083 --> 01:52:37,208
Just do as I say.
1806
01:52:42,166 --> 01:52:44,583
- This is for you.
- Everyone, help yourself.
1807
01:52:44,708 --> 01:52:46,665
Please take it!
1808
01:52:46,666 --> 01:52:48,208
Take it.
1809
01:52:48,333 --> 01:52:51,165
Take this for your daughter's wedding.
1810
01:52:51,166 --> 01:52:52,875
Everyone, help yourself.
1811
01:52:54,250 --> 01:52:55,416
Enjoy, be happy.
1812
01:52:56,208 --> 01:52:59,166
Your daughter is getting married.
Spend this for her.
1813
01:52:59,333 --> 01:53:02,832
Invest this in your daughter's name.
Keep this for your son's education.
1814
01:53:02,833 --> 01:53:04,041
Keep this.
1815
01:53:04,166 --> 01:53:06,625
Sir, why are you giving away
all your title deeds?
1816
01:53:06,916 --> 01:53:08,707
Are you from
the Income Tax department?
1817
01:53:08,708 --> 01:53:09,790
I have paid my tax.
1818
01:53:09,791 --> 01:53:10,833
- Go…
- Sir.
1819
01:53:15,083 --> 01:53:16,874
The revered father of our city.
1820
01:53:16,875 --> 01:53:21,958
Mr. G. D. Naidu plans to smash
and break all his inventions.
1821
01:53:23,250 --> 01:53:25,249
Assemble to witness
this rare event.
1822
01:53:25,250 --> 01:53:26,957
Welcome one and all.
1823
01:53:26,958 --> 01:53:28,082
Entry is free.
1824
01:53:28,083 --> 01:53:29,250
All are welcome.
1825
01:53:52,541 --> 01:53:54,416
Stop… Enough!
1826
01:53:56,458 --> 01:53:57,875
Hope you are all doing good?
1827
01:53:58,541 --> 01:54:00,540
You know how happy I am
to see all of you here?
1828
01:54:00,541 --> 01:54:03,625
The same pictures on your shirt
are on my sari too.
1829
01:54:03,791 --> 01:54:05,708
Hero, heroine, celebrities…
1830
01:54:06,000 --> 01:54:08,833
Cinema news, local gossip,
juicy rumors, everything…
1831
01:54:09,875 --> 01:54:11,000
Looks beautiful, no?
1832
01:54:11,916 --> 01:54:13,540
But when I went to Japan,
1833
01:54:13,541 --> 01:54:18,875
naive, ill-informed students had Physics
and Chemistry formulas on their shirts.
1834
01:54:19,000 --> 01:54:21,249
Periodic table, mechanical drawing,
1835
01:54:21,250 --> 01:54:23,082
the world map too.
Height of aesthetic sense!
1836
01:54:23,083 --> 01:54:24,457
Those Japanese students.
1837
01:54:24,458 --> 01:54:25,541
Look at all of you.
1838
01:54:25,750 --> 01:54:27,541
Actors and dancers on your t-shirts!
1839
01:54:28,541 --> 01:54:30,250
Buzzing with vibrant vibes.
1840
01:54:30,500 --> 01:54:32,583
You are the next generation
of our nation.
1841
01:54:32,750 --> 01:54:34,375
Makes me feel so proud!
1842
01:54:37,541 --> 01:54:40,832
I stupidly thought this would be
a useful item for you and I brought it.
1843
01:54:40,833 --> 01:54:42,083
Shall I break that first?
1844
01:54:42,208 --> 01:54:43,875
Huh? Come… come along.
1845
01:54:54,000 --> 01:54:55,250
Play now!
1846
01:56:01,041 --> 01:56:02,250
Stop the music!
1847
01:56:02,666 --> 01:56:03,791
Dorai!
1848
01:56:04,791 --> 01:56:05,875
Stop it!
1849
01:56:07,291 --> 01:56:09,541
Listen to me! Dorai!
1850
01:56:10,750 --> 01:56:11,875
Stop it, Dorai!
1851
01:56:50,250 --> 01:56:51,083
Mom.
1852
01:56:58,666 --> 01:56:59,541
Mom.
1853
01:56:59,958 --> 01:57:01,875
He has given away everything he owned.
1854
01:57:04,208 --> 01:57:07,041
He has given away the buses
to drivers and conductors.
1855
01:57:08,375 --> 01:57:11,083
He has given all the title deeds
to passers-by, Mom.
1856
01:57:13,583 --> 01:57:16,375
People are saying
that he has lost his mind.
1857
01:57:17,500 --> 01:57:18,666
I feel terrible.
1858
01:57:35,250 --> 01:57:38,583
You know that my dream is to build
a 5-star hotel in Madras.
1859
01:57:39,666 --> 01:57:41,790
I went to Delhi and met
the concerned architect.
1860
01:57:41,791 --> 01:57:44,707
I have even got the license
to import the fixtures for the hotel.
1861
01:57:44,708 --> 01:57:48,208
But you gave away the land to others
without even telling me.
1862
01:57:50,833 --> 01:57:55,540
Your father gave his word to Periyar that
he'd give that land to Adithanar, Gopal.
1863
01:57:55,541 --> 01:57:56,915
What about his word to me?
1864
01:57:56,916 --> 01:57:58,458
Mr. Gopal, forgive me.
1865
01:57:59,291 --> 01:58:01,125
I didn't know it was your land!
1866
01:58:04,208 --> 01:58:05,125
Hey!
1867
01:58:05,750 --> 01:58:08,041
You have no right
to ask me such questions.
1868
01:58:11,208 --> 01:58:15,291
That land was bought by my hard work
and my earnings.
1869
01:58:15,708 --> 01:58:18,333
I will give it whenever
and to whomever I please.
1870
01:58:18,458 --> 01:58:19,666
Understand?
1871
01:58:23,250 --> 01:58:24,290
True.
1872
01:58:24,291 --> 01:58:25,916
He did everything.
1873
01:58:26,291 --> 01:58:27,625
We did not help in any way.
1874
01:58:29,291 --> 01:58:32,250
As far as you are concerned,
this world revolves around you.
1875
01:58:32,583 --> 01:58:38,000
Do you know how selfish it is to expect
everyone to follow your whims and wishes?
1876
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?
1877
01:58:43,875 --> 01:58:44,875
Why, may I ask?
1878
01:58:45,000 --> 01:58:48,333
Can't your near and dear ones
have their own dreams or aims in life?
1879
01:58:49,125 --> 01:58:52,290
Our son curses himself daily
for being born in a family like this.
1880
01:58:52,291 --> 01:58:53,416
You behave so badly.
1881
01:58:53,875 --> 01:58:55,625
- Mom…
- Hey! Shut up.
1882
01:59:00,375 --> 01:59:02,708
Gopal has the right to dream too.
1883
01:59:04,500 --> 01:59:05,832
Knowing your true nature,
1884
01:59:05,833 --> 01:59:09,083
your first wife, Chellamma, left you
thanking God for her freedom.
1885
01:59:10,125 --> 01:59:12,125
Harsh reality is dawning on me only now.
1886
01:59:18,166 --> 01:59:21,375
I do not wish to live with you any longer.
1887
01:59:25,083 --> 01:59:26,416
I want a divorce.
1888
01:59:34,208 --> 01:59:37,875
If you are able to, make the necessary
arrangements for my divorce.
1889
01:59:40,666 --> 01:59:42,166
Otherwise I can handle it.
1890
02:00:22,583 --> 02:00:24,749
"For more than 30 years,
1891
02:00:24,750 --> 02:00:29,875
Mr. G. Doraiswamy Naidu has not remitted
the tax payable to the Government."
1892
02:00:30,125 --> 02:00:34,082
"The outstanding tax amount, along
with the applicable interest and penalties
1893
02:00:34,083 --> 02:00:38,208
should be paid within 60 days
from the date of this notice."
1894
02:00:38,500 --> 02:00:41,374
"Non-compliance
within the stipulated period
1895
02:00:41,375 --> 02:00:44,332
will lead to the confiscation
of 80 percent of his assets
1896
02:00:44,333 --> 02:00:49,582
on the 90th day from the date
of this notice--"
1897
02:00:49,583 --> 02:00:51,416
- Sir?
- Mohan.
1898
02:00:51,833 --> 02:00:53,041
Continue to type.
1899
02:00:53,291 --> 02:00:54,999
This is an order from the higher ups.
1900
02:00:55,000 --> 02:00:57,750
Type fast, Mohan.
I need to get home soon.
1901
02:00:58,541 --> 02:01:02,625
"Action will be taken
to confiscate 80 percent of his assets."
1902
02:01:02,833 --> 02:01:06,458
"We hereby give you a final warning
through this notice."
1903
02:01:07,416 --> 02:01:08,625
Type his name.
1904
02:01:08,916 --> 02:01:10,208
Don't forget the seal.
1905
02:01:10,541 --> 02:01:12,166
Sir, sign the order.
1906
02:01:31,875 --> 02:01:35,915
To compensate for all your unpaid taxes
and penalties,
1907
02:01:35,916 --> 02:01:38,540
the government will confiscate
80 percent of all your assets.
1908
02:01:38,541 --> 02:01:39,833
Here's the official order.
1909
02:01:40,083 --> 02:01:42,332
Hand over all your title deeds
and documents, sir.
1910
02:01:42,333 --> 02:01:44,208
52 documents in total.
1911
02:01:44,958 --> 02:01:45,958
Pillai.
1912
02:01:46,791 --> 02:01:48,458
Give them what they want.
1913
02:01:49,166 --> 02:01:50,041
Okay.
1914
02:01:50,833 --> 02:01:52,083
Wait, I'll be back.
1915
02:02:08,041 --> 02:02:10,458
Only two documents are here.
What about the rest?
1916
02:02:11,166 --> 02:02:15,541
As the years sped by,
Mrs. Naidu got mad at his mad doings
1917
02:02:16,541 --> 02:02:17,916
and filed for divorce.
1918
02:02:21,416 --> 02:02:23,499
Your wife has filed a petition
for divorce.
1919
02:02:23,500 --> 02:02:24,833
Do you accept it?
1920
02:02:26,041 --> 02:02:27,958
- I do.
- Your wife
1921
02:02:28,208 --> 02:02:31,416
has asked for 98 percent
of your assets as alimony.
1922
02:02:31,833 --> 02:02:33,250
Are you willing to give it?
1923
02:02:34,958 --> 02:02:36,041
I agree.
1924
02:02:36,791 --> 02:02:39,166
Doesn't matter if she filed for a divorce.
1925
02:02:39,375 --> 02:02:44,208
She claimed an alimony amounting
to 98 percent of Naidu's assets.
1926
02:02:55,833 --> 02:02:59,375
You are answering clearly after
understanding everything I asked, right?
1927
02:03:00,875 --> 02:03:01,750
Yes.
1928
02:03:02,708 --> 02:03:04,958
Divorce granted.
1929
02:03:05,333 --> 02:03:06,875
Alimony settled.
1930
02:03:07,666 --> 02:03:08,958
Case closed.
1931
02:03:13,208 --> 02:03:14,958
We had no other place to live, sir.
1932
02:03:15,500 --> 02:03:17,916
This forest land of 30 acres
was all we had left.
1933
02:03:18,250 --> 02:03:19,583
And this thatched hut.
1934
02:03:20,166 --> 02:03:23,125
You have come to seize 80 percent of this.
1935
02:03:24,125 --> 02:03:25,791
Take the wood land around us.
1936
02:03:26,041 --> 02:03:27,749
If you leave the hut for us to survive,
1937
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.
1938
02:03:34,583 --> 02:03:36,958
This is the divorce document.
1939
02:03:38,000 --> 02:03:40,625
This is the partition deed.
1940
02:03:55,166 --> 02:03:56,166
Killi.
1941
02:03:57,000 --> 02:03:58,208
You got what you wanted.
1942
02:03:58,875 --> 02:03:59,791
Let's head back.
1943
02:04:09,083 --> 02:04:10,083
One minute.
1944
02:04:12,625 --> 02:04:14,707
After we sent you the income tax notice,
1945
02:04:14,708 --> 02:04:17,375
you can't divide your assets
even if you get divorced.
1946
02:04:17,583 --> 02:04:18,875
It is against the law.
1947
02:04:27,583 --> 02:04:30,375
Your mad antics made us
the laughing stock of everyone.
1948
02:04:30,875 --> 02:04:32,416
We have teenagers at home.
1949
02:04:32,625 --> 02:04:34,333
How can we face our society?
1950
02:04:35,458 --> 02:04:37,040
You already have grandchildren.
1951
02:04:37,041 --> 02:04:39,083
At this age, you have
divorced each other.
1952
02:04:39,625 --> 02:04:42,541
If you can't see eye to eye,
adjust within these four walls.
1953
02:05:04,375 --> 02:05:05,375
Proprietress.
1954
02:05:07,666 --> 02:05:09,583
After sharing my life all these years,
1955
02:05:10,416 --> 02:05:13,458
if you abandon me on the streets,
where can I go?
1956
02:05:21,083 --> 02:05:22,208
We are leaving.
1957
02:05:22,833 --> 02:05:26,041
At this age, we do not have to go
through this kind of heartache.
1958
02:05:27,000 --> 02:05:28,915
Lost all your assets
out of sheer stubbornness.
1959
02:05:28,916 --> 02:05:30,624
Committed high-handed outrageous acts.
1960
02:05:30,625 --> 02:05:32,750
Also got labeled as a lunatic by everyone.
1961
02:05:32,875 --> 02:05:35,999
You divorced Ranganayaki and now why
come and stand pathetically here?
1962
02:05:36,000 --> 02:05:39,041
Did you ever once spare a thought
for your family, Doraiswamy?
1963
02:05:42,250 --> 02:05:43,749
Why are you upset, dear?
1964
02:05:43,750 --> 02:05:44,708
Don't cry.
1965
02:05:57,791 --> 02:05:58,915
What is happening here?
1966
02:05:58,916 --> 02:06:01,583
Is his madness infectious?
You are as mad as he is now.
1967
02:06:02,375 --> 02:06:03,791
I can't contain myself.
1968
02:06:04,291 --> 02:06:05,708
You tell them, dear.
1969
02:06:06,916 --> 02:06:10,250
You could have held back your laughter
a little while longer, right?
1970
02:06:12,500 --> 02:06:14,458
You burst into a cackle too soon.
1971
02:06:16,416 --> 02:06:18,625
Only you can act this well.
1972
02:06:18,750 --> 02:06:20,458
I can't compete with you, dear.
1973
02:06:26,541 --> 02:06:28,250
Dad, what is all this drama?
1974
02:06:31,958 --> 02:06:32,916
Hey!
1975
02:06:33,458 --> 02:06:35,125
What did you think of your father?
1976
02:07:08,250 --> 02:07:09,375
I want a divorce.
1977
02:07:09,958 --> 02:07:11,958
Divorce… granted.
1978
02:07:12,625 --> 02:07:14,166
Alimony… settled.
1979
02:07:22,333 --> 02:07:24,375
Listen, I think I'll go crazy!
1980
02:07:26,166 --> 02:07:27,208
My dear uncle.
1981
02:07:27,916 --> 02:07:32,208
The government issued a notice to seize
80 percent of my hard-earned money.
1982
02:07:32,750 --> 02:07:38,875
In return, I gave them a notice
that Ranganayaki and I got divorced.
1983
02:07:40,083 --> 02:07:43,291
This notice also holds legally, right?
1984
02:07:45,291 --> 02:07:49,041
They tried to destroy me
with mere paperwork.
1985
02:07:49,583 --> 02:07:53,333
In response, I turned the same paper
into my weapon
1986
02:07:53,791 --> 02:07:55,833
and razed their conspiracy to the ground.
1987
02:07:58,125 --> 02:08:00,000
Sir, I checked the documents.
1988
02:08:00,291 --> 02:08:03,916
They got divorced
one week before we served the notice.
1989
02:08:05,125 --> 02:08:06,250
How is that possible?
1990
02:08:13,958 --> 02:08:14,875
Killi.
1991
02:08:16,083 --> 02:08:17,291
Can we leave now?
1992
02:08:20,250 --> 02:08:21,125
Come on.
1993
02:08:28,875 --> 02:08:29,916
Dumbo.
1994
02:08:30,250 --> 02:08:31,291
Huh?
1995
02:08:31,791 --> 02:08:33,207
How dare you call me a dumbo?
1996
02:08:33,208 --> 02:08:35,624
For calling a government officer a fool,
I can file a case against--
1997
02:08:35,625 --> 02:08:37,208
Sir… Sir, hold on.
1998
02:08:37,458 --> 02:08:38,916
He didn't mean you.
1999
02:08:39,125 --> 02:08:41,332
His favorite pet dog.
2000
02:08:41,333 --> 02:08:42,625
We call him Dumbo.
2001
02:08:43,916 --> 02:08:45,166
Dumbo, come here.
2002
02:08:46,333 --> 02:08:47,291
You can leave.
2003
02:08:47,625 --> 02:08:48,541
Dumbo?
2004
02:08:52,125 --> 02:08:53,208
Hey!
2005
02:08:54,041 --> 02:08:57,833
Did you think you had a bone
in your mouth?
2006
02:08:59,291 --> 02:09:01,250
That is just an ordinary stick.
2007
02:09:08,625 --> 02:09:09,791
Come, Pillai.
2008
02:09:14,541 --> 02:09:16,416
What? Don't you understand?
2009
02:09:17,541 --> 02:09:18,541
Simple.
2010
02:09:18,916 --> 02:09:24,916
Which law stipulates a divorced couple
cannot live under the same roof?
2011
02:09:31,791 --> 02:09:35,125
The assets I earned by shedding
my blood, sweat and tears…
2012
02:09:36,291 --> 02:09:39,208
The tender love and care
of my family and bloodline…
2013
02:09:40,208 --> 02:09:44,000
Neither paper nor any man can negate
or invalidate it!
2014
02:09:45,250 --> 02:09:46,457
My dear son, Dorai.
2015
02:09:46,458 --> 02:09:47,874
You are not G. D. Naidu.
2016
02:09:47,875 --> 02:09:49,125
You are Genius Naidu!
2017
02:09:51,416 --> 02:09:54,083
Naidu, all of you smile.
2018
02:10:00,750 --> 02:10:02,916
A FEW YEARS LATER
2019
02:10:11,083 --> 02:10:12,000
Sir.
2020
02:10:12,875 --> 02:10:14,000
Sir.
2021
02:10:14,125 --> 02:10:15,458
Here's the sacred offering.
2022
02:10:16,291 --> 02:10:17,415
Priest.
2023
02:10:17,416 --> 02:10:19,833
Pack that offering in a paper for him.
2024
02:10:20,375 --> 02:10:23,083
Whatever it is,
he likes to see it on paper!
2025
02:10:25,458 --> 02:10:26,333
Oh, God...
2026
02:10:27,208 --> 02:10:28,291
Thank you, sir.
2027
02:10:28,750 --> 02:10:29,666
Gayathri.
2028
02:10:38,250 --> 02:10:41,416
You have never liked me, right?
2029
02:10:44,083 --> 02:10:46,291
As Income Tax officer Krishnan,
2030
02:10:47,000 --> 02:10:49,958
I have never neglected my duty
in my entire career.
2031
02:10:51,041 --> 02:10:53,375
The same holds true in your case too,
Mr. Naidu.
2032
02:10:54,500 --> 02:10:57,416
What I couldn't tell you
as an Income Tax officer,
2033
02:10:57,916 --> 02:10:59,208
I would like to share now.
2034
02:11:00,916 --> 02:11:05,041
I am and will always be your ardent fan
2035
02:11:06,000 --> 02:11:09,666
for all your ingenious inventions
and the way you respect your profession.
2036
02:11:12,083 --> 02:11:13,208
I have retired now.
2037
02:11:14,416 --> 02:11:16,875
Happily retired
with a sense of total fulfillment.
2038
02:11:18,625 --> 02:11:20,333
Can I ask you something now?
2039
02:11:21,000 --> 02:11:23,291
That penalty is a pittance to you.
2040
02:11:23,541 --> 02:11:26,625
If only you had paid it promptly
and been done with it,
2041
02:11:27,375 --> 02:11:31,040
you would have reached greater heights
in your business than you have now.
2042
02:11:31,041 --> 02:11:32,165
How many people…
2043
02:11:32,166 --> 02:11:34,040
How many people would have benefited?
2044
02:11:34,041 --> 02:11:38,166
You could have done much more
than your current service to the nation.
2045
02:11:38,333 --> 02:11:39,666
Am I right, Mr. Naidu?
2046
02:11:41,583 --> 02:11:42,791
Mr. Krishnan.
2047
02:11:43,375 --> 02:11:46,958
Personally, you hold me
in such high regard.
2048
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.
2049
02:11:54,333 --> 02:11:55,916
What you told me just now…
2050
02:11:56,750 --> 02:11:58,625
Even if your action was justified,
2051
02:11:59,083 --> 02:12:01,166
the ethics are debatable.
2052
02:12:02,583 --> 02:12:03,666
Shall I elaborate?
2053
02:12:05,125 --> 02:12:06,624
At one time, in our motherland,
2054
02:12:06,625 --> 02:12:10,708
art, culture, science, medicine,
trade and commerce,
2055
02:12:11,125 --> 02:12:13,291
astrology, astronomy, philosophy…
2056
02:12:13,916 --> 02:12:15,374
Peaceful life…
2057
02:12:15,375 --> 02:12:18,250
Flourished as examples
for the entire world.
2058
02:12:19,666 --> 02:12:21,875
Foreigners invaded our land
with their armies
2059
02:12:22,333 --> 02:12:23,500
and when they left,
2060
02:12:23,875 --> 02:12:26,208
they did not loot only our riches
and resources.
2061
02:12:27,791 --> 02:12:29,416
But also our cultural heritage,
2062
02:12:30,166 --> 02:12:31,416
system of education,
2063
02:12:31,833 --> 02:12:33,125
our identity…
2064
02:12:33,666 --> 02:12:35,208
They made us forget everything.
2065
02:12:38,458 --> 02:12:40,708
But they did something
even more atrocious.
2066
02:12:42,666 --> 02:12:46,375
The feeling of solidarity
as inhabitants of the same soil…
2067
02:12:47,041 --> 02:12:48,541
They eradicated it completely.
2068
02:12:49,833 --> 02:12:52,416
Religion, language,
caste discrimination…
2069
02:12:52,625 --> 02:12:55,249
They planted these poisonous seeds
deep into our soil and left.
2070
02:12:55,250 --> 02:12:57,666
That has grown into a dense forest today.
2071
02:12:59,250 --> 02:13:01,583
How to raze that forest to the ground?
2072
02:13:02,041 --> 02:13:05,250
That will be the biggest challenge
for the now-independent India.
2073
02:13:07,166 --> 02:13:09,500
But let me tell you
something now, Mr. Krishnan.
2074
02:13:11,958 --> 02:13:16,500
A sudden generation will rise
to destroy that forest.
2075
02:13:17,500 --> 02:13:20,833
They will be a force to reckon with
in ways beyond our expectations.
2076
02:13:22,291 --> 02:13:24,374
To that breed of enlightened young minds,
2077
02:13:24,375 --> 02:13:27,625
religion, language, caste, color
will hold no significance at all.
2078
02:13:29,333 --> 02:13:33,333
This world will look up
to the changes that they bring.
2079
02:13:34,750 --> 02:13:37,541
The world will applaud
with absolute awe and affection.
2080
02:13:41,166 --> 02:13:42,750
To that progressive generation,
2081
02:13:43,166 --> 02:13:44,583
on hindsight,
2082
02:13:45,750 --> 02:13:48,791
how can I set a bad example
to them, Krishnan?
2083
02:13:50,916 --> 02:13:53,500
Just for my personal efforts
and selfish gains,
2084
02:13:54,166 --> 02:13:59,916
if I had paid up the wrong tax
imposed by those wretched Britishers,
2085
02:14:01,000 --> 02:14:02,540
it would mean
that I had compromised my principles
2086
02:14:02,541 --> 02:14:04,333
and given in to their unfair policy.
2087
02:14:07,458 --> 02:14:11,791
You would have retired as an officer
with clean hands and integrity intact.
2088
02:14:13,375 --> 02:14:16,916
But the palm of my hand
would have been stained!
2089
02:14:18,333 --> 02:14:20,416
In what way is that
fair or just, Krishnan?
2090
02:14:21,833 --> 02:14:23,916
I don't want that story
as part of history.
2091
02:14:24,708 --> 02:14:27,750
The way you are retiring
with total fulfillment,
2092
02:14:28,916 --> 02:14:30,832
my heart is filled
with the same contentment.
2093
02:14:30,833 --> 02:14:34,333
With my head held high and a strong
sense of pride, I stand before you.
2094
02:14:37,416 --> 02:14:38,875
Tell me now, Mr. Krishnan.
2095
02:14:40,875 --> 02:14:41,916
Am I right?
2096
02:14:48,416 --> 02:14:49,875
Oh, no! Not my feet!
2097
02:14:50,750 --> 02:14:51,916
Come here.
2098
02:15:25,625 --> 02:15:26,749
Sir.
2099
02:15:26,750 --> 02:15:29,583
Do our nation's politicians
lack complete foresight?
2100
02:15:30,458 --> 02:15:33,416
No aspirations for our country
to progress and prosper, sir?
2101
02:15:34,708 --> 02:15:37,541
G. D. Naidu was a visionary
in every aspect, sir.
2102
02:15:38,125 --> 02:15:40,791
The first electric motor in India
was invented by him.
2103
02:15:41,166 --> 02:15:43,458
He founded the first polytechnic college.
2104
02:15:43,958 --> 02:15:46,541
He pioneered a revolution
in agricultural yields.
2105
02:15:47,083 --> 02:15:50,083
He introduced people to the healing power
of Siddha medicine.
2106
02:15:50,458 --> 02:15:55,291
A practical engineering curriculum
can be completed in just two years.
2107
02:15:55,500 --> 02:15:57,583
He proved it and recommended its adoption.
2108
02:15:58,000 --> 02:16:01,500
But we overlooked his major contributions
to humanity
2109
02:16:01,708 --> 02:16:04,750
and painted him to be a villain
in the eyes of the world, sir.
2110
02:16:07,000 --> 02:16:10,083
They have branded
such a noble man as a traitor?
2111
02:16:11,333 --> 02:16:12,333
If that is the case,
2112
02:16:12,458 --> 02:16:14,207
Mr. Gandhi, Mr. Ambedkar,
2113
02:16:14,208 --> 02:16:15,540
eminent political leaders,
2114
02:16:15,541 --> 02:16:16,832
renowned scientists,
2115
02:16:16,833 --> 02:16:19,082
celebrated thinkers,
revered religious leaders…
2116
02:16:19,083 --> 02:16:22,708
Would they have visited his house
as guests if he had been a traitor, sir?
2117
02:16:23,708 --> 02:16:27,041
All these years, we've been living
in a state of blissful ignorance.
2118
02:16:27,833 --> 02:16:30,583
We have been reading
distorted versions of history, sir.
2119
02:16:31,375 --> 02:16:32,583
I feel ashamed, sir.
2120
02:16:33,458 --> 02:16:34,500
Humiliated.
2121
02:16:49,166 --> 02:16:50,415
Even after knowing all this,
2122
02:16:50,416 --> 02:16:53,500
if we don't include the history
of G. D. Naidu in our syllabus,
2123
02:16:53,833 --> 02:16:55,333
history will never forgive us.
2124
02:16:57,166 --> 02:16:58,250
Ms. Padmavathi.
2125
02:16:59,375 --> 02:17:00,625
Please pardon us.
2126
02:17:07,291 --> 02:17:08,708
{\an8}DEPARTMENT OF SCHOOL EDUCATION
GOVERNMENT OF TAMILNADU
2127
02:17:11,375 --> 02:17:12,416
I'll take leave, sir.
2128
02:17:13,125 --> 02:17:14,208
Excuse me.
2129
02:17:17,250 --> 02:17:19,666
Are you related to G. D. Naidu?
2130
02:17:22,791 --> 02:17:23,625
No, sir.
2131
02:17:23,916 --> 02:17:26,125
My father is a retired Income Tax Officer.
2132
02:17:27,500 --> 02:17:28,583
His name is…
2133
02:17:30,458 --> 02:17:31,750
Ambalapara Krishnan.
