[siren wailing]

Get ready, all of you Come and vote

The right to vote is the civic duty of every Indian citizen to uphold

Sir, we are ready to vote

But knowing none of us will vote for their Party

They have denied us the right to vote freely, sir

See the fate of those who defied them and voted

[dramatic music]

We can't vote one day and then live in fear the whole year through, sir

They will hit us even if we go to school, sir

We will be so terrified

My dear child, whenever I feel scared

I will think of one man's story

Immediately my fear will vanish and my heart will brim with courage

Shall I narrate that story of courage?

That Mr Courage is

'Thalapathy'

'Loganathan Business man'

[grandiose music]

[grandiose music continues]

[man screaming]

[short whistle]

Hey! Kill him

[snaps finger]

'Bro, 1 minute'

'When you were playing hide & seek'

'You knocked down this grandpa and disturbed his sleep'

'Make sure our grandpa gets his due rest'

'Then continue your game'

Game, huh?

Hey! We plan to kill now Turn back and go

This seems to be a new struggle

First, make him rest in peace, da

[sharp music continues]

If you didn't hear me clearly I'll repeat it for your ears

Grandpa has to sleep

Lord and master! I am your slave

First, grandpa has to rest in ease

Only then, Logan Baba will rest in peace!

Okay?

Go back, da

Grandpa, lie on a human water bed

How does it feel? Cool and comfy, uh?

Sleep, my child

If you sing me a lullaby I'll happily slip into dream world

What, thatha?

- You seem to be in a jolly mood! - [chuckles]

What are you gaping at me for?

Sing, I say

"Grandpa, just a pinch I need Give me your snuff powder, I plead"

"Grandson, pass my stick, I'll whack you double quick"

"Grandpa, just a pinch I need Give me your snuff powder, I plead"

"Grandson, pass my stick, I'll whack you double quick"

"When grandpa grabbed his stick to hit the snuff powder flew into thin air, swift"

"Grampsssss"

Hey!

I asked you to sing for thatha to sleep you're making him dance and leap!

HEY!

- Hey... hey! - Shhhhh!

What? Going overboard?

My bro came here on a killing mission

You want him to preach now!

[mocks]

[smacks]

- [sharp kicks] - 'Aiyaiyo!'

[song from 'Kadhalukku Mariyadhai' plays]

Bingo! He'll sleep like a baby now

"Will she sing me a lullaby?"

"Rest my head in her bosom like a baby?"

"Will she move with flowing grace as a golden chariot to this place?"

"Or disappoint my heart by drifting apart?"

Hey wait... wait

"Be patient, sing no more I can hear him snore"

'He is fast asleep'

[loud snore]

- [thwacks] - [man screams softly]

[blows out]

"The entire town is in slumber deep"

"Even the cool breeze has started to sweep'

"But sleep eludes this blessed grandfather"

"Wonder why, I'm clueless, brother"

Bro! I told you to close his chapter You are partying, singing together?

- Sssshhh! - HUH?

Hey! [quiet whisper]

Grandpa is sleeping Keep quiet

What is this, bro? You keep saying 'grandpa... sleep'?

- Move aside, bro - [sharp kicks]

"Death's quiet whisper drifted into my ear"

"It appeared here as an image of a king with confidence and courage"

[winces]

[gripping energetic music]

[sharp thwack]

[loud thud]

Listen to the advice of youngsters, da

[gripping energetic music continues]

Hai!

[action ensues]

[gripping energetic music continues]

Telling us to make him sleep

You'll end up making us rest in peace!?

'Please open the door'

He is very dangerous

Arrest them

This is the best time to act

With issues overlapping we can finish him off

- [crowd cheering] - [ominous music]

Problem is spiraling

Open the gate

Sir

Till now

They have tried to kill him 20 times

But even to edge close to him

They have to go past Vanamaran and Nelamaran

Escape from the threatening gaze of Kadamban and Kangeyam

Retaliate to the power of Murugan and Velan

'I got a gang'

'We run the space Bang bang'

'Say, what?'

'I got a gang'

'We run the space Bang bang'

[upbeat music]

The day he was arrested and brought here

Not only inside the jail, sir

Even outside, they settled as an army to protect him

Thalapathy is not under our protection, sir

Just the opposite, we are under Thalapathy's protection

'I got a gang'

'We run the space Bang bang'

Sir... sir

You staked your life to save mine

Thank you, sir

I won't sit quiet watching any crime happening around me

I will show up

Sir... er, may I know your name?

[heroic music]

- Narayanan - 'Sir?'

I want to see his files

[pulsating music]

[dusting off]

You hit a battalion of prisoners

Are you Superman?

[pulsating music continues]

[upbeat music]

I am an ordinary man, baby

But I have heard people say whatever I do is sooper!

Then you are proper 'Superman' in my eyes

Dishum!

[playful giggle]

Dishum-dishum

Is his mother the reason for him being here in jail?

'Yes, sir'

'Not enough if you keep lamenting you want to see your son'

Take your tablets regularly if you want to see your son

Atleast till your son comes

You would've asked for bail at least 50 times or so?

Did they release him?

She won't last long

Doubtful if she will see her son

No medicine is holding my breath, doctor

Love

One last wish to see my son

I will die only after I see him

Sir, I'm begging you I'll fall at your feet

If you send our brother home

Happily his mother will breathe her last knowing she could see her son, sir

Sir, they will wait with folded hands daily when the previous jailer comes and leaves

They didn't disperse even when they were hit

Direct orders from higher-ups What can we do, sir?

If I want to see my amma you'll say she isn't here

Superman's mother is alive

Let's take him to see his mother, pa

[emotional music]

Narayanan

We are going to the forest with Vetri tomorrow

Okay?

♪ Son hearing his mother's cries of pain ♪

♪ Crosses all barriers to see her again ♪

♪ As the scars healed today Wind too parted the way ♪

♪ He is returning to bloom in his mother's womb ♪

♪ Back to the magic of my motherly lap ♪

♪ Those childhood memories wrap to replay in my mind's map ♪

♪ A sky that vanished into the horizon ♪

♪ Now returns as life's very reason ♪

♪ My world spins again in a magical way ♪

My amma passed away after seeing my face, sir

You fulfilled my mother's last wish

How will I thank-

Thank you, sir

Superman, don't feel bad you lost your amma

I'll be your amma hereafter

[emotional music intensifies]

Aah, open your mouth

Your daughter looks smart in army uniform, sir

Yeah

Actually my wife wanted to join the military very badly

Her parents didn't accept our love and tried to get her married to someone else

She cast her dream aside and married me

And

She passed away in last year's riot

Every time she wore that uniform and saw her reflection in the mirror

I used to feel guilty maybe I ruined her dreams

After she was born

She used to keep saying, 'I will make your dream come true, ma'

At least if she joins the military

I thought my feeling of guilt will slowly disappear, but

Why, sir? What happened?

[loud thud]

[panic attack]

[heavy exhaling]

It's okay It's okay, dear

[heavy exhaling continues]

Seeing her mother die in flames in the riot if she hears any unexpected loud sound

Fear phobia gets triggered like this

How can she join the army?

Girls should never be scared, sir

Viji should be raised like a tigress

- [chiseling] - [saddening music]

Wow!

Viji dear

Fear should never dictate the way we live

Make fear and

The peddlers of fear

Flee in panic

You should stand fearlessly like this

Only then this world will listen to you

- Huhm? - Hmmhmmm!

- Stand fearless? - Oho!

'Civil war erupted'

'President was arrested by the revolutionaries'

'Govt of Swasnia has collapsed once again'

[tanks firing]

[continuous gunfire]

[sinister music]

[gunfire]

Move

Move

'Leak the video to the media of this President being hanged to death'

'Is all this unwanted emotions, attention needed at this point?'

Saddam Hussein being hanged by the Americans is not a big deal at all

'Saddam Hussein'

'If you try to oppose me'

'This will be your fate' USA said

That is the point to note

Fear must be instilled into Governments

It's a statement

[snaps fingers]

- [man groaning] - [upbeat villainous music]

Mr President

Whoever comes to kill me

Even if he summons the entire world to do so

Every single one of them

I will kill everyone and destroy everything

Only then I will die

[continuous gunfire]

[upbeat villainous music continues]

'Himmler, we have ensured your photo is nowhere online'

'We were maintaining it as a close secret'

'How did the President get to know everything?'

Ubuntu

She has collected all the evidence about our network and given it to the President

'If Himmler's arrest gets leaked all of us will be caught in toto'

'What do you intend doing, Victor?'

No need to worry

Everything is under our control in Swasnia

'Himmler, whatever you asked is ready here'

'What is your plan?'

M-M!

'Breaking News! Swasnia has fallen after an anonymous group-'

Sir has been missing for a week

Where is he, sir?

I told you already

Er... he has gone out of town

A policeman hiding the truth is wrong, sir

'For flouting the rules and taking you to see your mother'

'Sir has been suspended and ordered to vacate his quarters'

'You will feel terrible if you find out So he asked me not to tell you'

'Before he left'

'In the list of prisoners being freed on August 15th'

'He added your name too'

[emotional music]

[emotional music continues]

Sorry, sir, I'll send my daughter to Day Care

And somehow join duty today, sir

Yes, sir

[emotional music continues]

'Surprise!'

Hai! Superman

Viji sweetypie?

Fever?

Hmmmm

Aiyiayo!

Viji... aa

What's up, Vetri?

Sir, if you had told me your job will be at stake

I would have never gone to see my mother, sir

Even I know the pain of a mother who is separated from her son, Vetri

Dishum-dishum

- Dishum - Awwww!

Not leaving, Vetri?

I should, sir

I have a very important task to finish

I wanted to see you before that

Viji, get ready

I'll drop her in Day Care

I have to go up to Head Quarters

No way! I want to be here with Superman

Superman, till my appa returns won't you be here with me?

You go, sir I'll take care of her

I can assure you Viji sweety won't shed a single drop of tear

I'll take good care of her till you get back home

Vetri, don't open this door

I have stored Viji's mother's stuff here

If she sees all that, reminded of her amma, she'll get scared, okay

[melodious music]

Bye

Sir?

Sir, I'm on my way I'll be there in 10 minutes

- [loud crash] - [glass shatters]

[gut wrenching music]

[sobbing inconsolably]

I'll eat only when appa comes back

I don't want to eat

I'll go to school only when I see my appa

- [heavy breathing] - Viji... Viji?

Look over there

[continuous heavy breathing]

'Todaiiiin! Don't get scared'

'Here I am, your forever friend'

'Smile!'

'He hee he hee he!'

I am her forever friend

She will listen only to me

'I will strangle your Adam's apple'

'Come into the kitchen I'll make mincemeat out of you'

'Aiyaiyo!'

'He is biting me SOS! Save me'

Shall I call your uncle and tell him you're happily cutting class and roaming?

I'll pay the fine for over speeding, sir

Over speed, huh?

You crashed into my car and tried to kill me

Attempt to murder Section # 307

Get into my car

Why, sir?

HEY! GET IN, DI

[heavily breathing]

Baby

Why are you panicking?

Nice and easy

I have to interrogate you

You go, I'll make my 'inquiry' and send her back

I am at work Anything important, dear?

'Aunt, serious problem'

- Hello, Pallavaram police station - Will you arrest for over speeding?

Shall I call your boss?

Who is that Inspector? Get him on the line

Inspector is yet to come, ma'am

'Asst Commissioner speaking'

I haven't arrested anyone like that, sir

He's a sick guy

He has already been suspended 4 times

Please do something

[gripping music continues]

Maara...?

Don't be scared

Be with me in the guest house for a while and then I'll send you home

Okay?

Hello?

Whatever you intend doing with Viji

Find out my name

'My dear old man'

'I sent you a name on your phone Tell me his horoscope'

[mass music]

- Hope you didn't try your tricks? - 'Why?'

Is he such a top cat?

You would have heard of a killer with many notches of murder

Have you heard of a top notch pro who beats his own record?

[mass music intensifies]

[explosion]

That is 'Thalapathy' for you!

[mass music continues]

[mobile ringing]

Sir... sir

You will have 2 shadows following you from tomorrow

One is your own

The other is mine

Hereafter you will live with fear clinging to you as your second skin

You will die a slow death fervently wishing you would rather die

'Your painful death will then be'

A lesson well learnt for any scum wanting to abuse a girl physically in this world

Sir?

'Sister' will be at your doorstep in a short while, sir

Real mass, too good

We watched in real life with even more mass appeal, di

Viji?

Is your 'chitha' married?

No... why?

Simply... just for GK!

[gunshot firing]

Yov! Mai Pa

Saw this?

100 volunteers stand guard protecting me even when I pee!

They ridicule you saying, 'can't find your Party even with the help of a torch'

Blow your trumpet for all this

But having come from down south you are stirring up Tamil Nadu

It's not an easy job, you know

Pluck out a few peanut roots We can snack on the nuts

Yov... hey!

- Why did you throw it away? - You want to eat the leaves too?

Pick it up Re-plant it

Understood?

Peanuts stolen from there

Hid it from the gardener and replanted here

Come

When you are so good at such scientific conspiracies

You should have ruled Tamil Nadu at least for 10 years

Time is not yet ripe!

2 parties are taking turns looting the treasury

People are not thinking radically to allow the 3rd party also to loot

50 pairs of hands raid the wine shop in one go

Where will you see a radical change?

Life is a pre-recorded cassette

Who can change that?

Forget it

On the way, shall we cool down with a beer?

No need, man

I have a cold Let's have a hot drink

'Car means fast If Thalapathy hits, blast'

'If others speak, speech'

My training won't work for you

As soon as you finish your exams you will join the Academy, confirmed

[somber music continues]

Why did you come here, Kayal?

To help uncs get his way?

No

I came to help you

You sign

Then fail in the physical test

After that what can he do?

[somber music continues]

She can't ace this as long as she has fear phobia

If she tries, everything is possible

Where are they? Both are missing

[chuckling] They seemed to have 'clicked'

[ominous music]

[petrified screams]

'Viji'

'Viji, what are you doing?'

Listen to me

Viji, why are you so furious looking at that toy?

I've never seen you in a rage like this

Let go of that toy Viji, listen to me

'Viji'

[shrieks of fury]

[ominous music continues]

'Over 150 Navy officers were killed by Pakistan terrorists'

'Unrecovered bodies have washed ashore on the beach, Manali'

'NIA special team officer Mr Sangaram has arrived at the spot to investigate'

'Secure the crime scene, boys, immediately'

[suspenseful music]

Boys

This is a part of a modern weapon

This was not an ordinary attack

It's

RC War

My God!

'Remote Control war?'

- Yes - 'Can you confirm this?'

Ved

- Check the manufacturers - Yes, sir

Sir, it's a Chinese company

Gingee Electronics

Get the details

[suspenseful music continues]

Sir

Bout Enterprises

They have supplied to this African company

There isn't a single detail about this company online, sir

'Check in Dark Web'

'Sir, not even in Dark Web, sir'

Wait... wait... wait

'That video, down'

'Open it'

'Find that ID and send a DM'

'Refugee Camp Swasnia'

[gripping music]

'Who are you?'

'Why are you asking about Bout Enterprises?'

'In the Navy attack in our country'

[gripping music] continues

Who owns Bout Enterprises?

'The man who turned our country to a graveyard'

'John Himmler'

'The Man of Death'

Can you tell us details about him?

'I have all the evidence against him'

'Sending right now'

- [explosion] - [continuous gunfire]

[crowd wailing]

[heart wrenching music]

Annihilation!

Hey Allah!

'Before he turns India into Africa'

'Stop him immediately'

Excuse me

From this moment I'll handle this case

[gun fires]

SIRRR!

[continuous gunfire]

[mechanized robot firing]

Move... move

Team, escape

Protect the evidence and weapons

Go, don't come out till you hear my order

[smoke hissing]

[gun firing]

[thrilling music]

Cha!

Scientist Khaleel and team shot the officer who came to interrogate

And escaped taking with them the weapons belonging to the Military

'Scientist Khaleel who played a key role as brain behind the naval strike'

'Evidence has been seized about his training in Pakistan'

'Govt has announced a sum of Rs 10 million as prize for clues about terrorist Khaleel'

[continuous gunfire]

No, no... don't!

[continuous gunfire]

'You will slip into hypnotherapy now'

'No one is forcing you'

[emotional music]

'You can come out of this at any point of time you want'

[emotional music continues]

Close your eyes

'You are in safe hands'

[whispering tone] 'As you relax'

'You are feeling more and more comfortable'

Now, open your eyes

And slowly look at the monitor

[emotional music continues]

'Where is the toy you bought from our shop?'

I saw what is hidden inside that teddy bear

My husband is a police officer

- You know that, da? - [thwacks]

[repeated bashing]

'Burn down the whole house'

Let her burn to ashes along with the toy

[somber music]

[panic attack]

[flickers]

[fire blazing]

[screaming] AMMA!

'Amma'

'It's okay, child Calm down'

'Viji's fear phobia'

'Through M-M'

'Directed Thalapathy toward Himmler who planned to control India'

I saw this same teddy in the News

'This teddy being the reason for Viji's fear phobia'

'And the toys found in the ship'

'Thalapathy went in search of the crucial link'

'Many items are in the ship that was attacked'

Why are you asking only about toys, madam?

For an important article, sir

[suspenseful music]

Company is J H Toys

'All the toys imported for the past 15 years'

'Full details is in this summary sheet'

[thrilling music]

[thrilling music continues]

[snaps fingers]

5 million toys

[thrilling music intensifies]

J H Toys

African Company

Throughout India

To specific toy shops

For 15 years

They have been dispatching 5 million toys

Not 50 lakh toys

5 million guns!

[gripping music]

Take out the details of all the shop-owners

[gripping music continues]

Toys Universe, Tamil Nadu

Kumaravel, Rajaram

Toys Boss, Karnataka

Heppe Gowda

Toys & Toys U.P Bihar, Sagar

Wait... wait... wait

Tamil Nadu owners Repeat their names

'Kumaravel, Rajaram'

Kovai Kumaravel?

'Yes'

Sendhai Rajaram?

Yes again

How do you know?

Your channel is operative in all the States, right?

Yes

Call all the senior reporters in all the States

[Kannada] How did you know about him?

[Telugu] How do you know, sir? How are you so accurate?

Yes, you are right

Your information is 101% right, sir

[Hindi] That's very, very, very dangerous

15 years ago

100% you are right

But do you know who he is now?

[gripping music continues]

What are you doing? What's going on?

All the toy shop owners you gave me in your list

15 years ago, all of them were gangsters who shook their respective States

'Uttar Pradesh Gujarat'

'Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar'

'Delhi, Mumbai, Maharashtra'

[sharp music]

That isn't even the point

All of them now

Politicians

Dear people

Businessmen

Controllers of various institutions

'Big... big... big shots!'

[sharp music continues]

Unbelievable!

Who assembled all the gangsters in India under one canopy?

How could all of them become big shots?

'Could scientist Khaleel have created such a big network?'

What do they intend doing with 5 million guns?

There is something looming large behind Viji's fear phobia

If we unravel that mystery

Not only can we solve Viji's problem

We can prevent the problem that is about to swallow our motherland

- 'Long live - Leader'

[shouting slogans]

[suspenseful music]

If we go now, we can handover the file to CM

Okay

[suspenseful music continues]

So many strange things are happening around me, Karthik

Chitha is being very aggressive about me joining the military

'Did you talk to your dad?'

Viji

My dad is not like your uncle

It's my life My wish, dear

I'll come over to your place with my family tomorrow

'I love you'

Love you

Excuse me

Can you help me?

'What help?'

[suspenseful music continues]

You said you'll fix a date for 175th year jubilee of DGP building

- I said I'll attend - Sir... sir

Apparently this is important, sir

- Then meet my bro-in-law - No, sir

This spells danger for your Govt it seems

This is a very important I believe Please read it immediately, sir

[suspenseful music continues]

'Your file has come to my own table in the end'

'Track that scientist Khaleel right away'

'Find out more about that girl and kidnap her'

'Her name is Viji'

'Her paternal uncle is her guardian'

'We are #1 builders in Trichy'

We have assets worth more than half a billion

'I wanted to pick a bride from an affluent family'

He says he loves her

Girls nowadays sketch a plan and pick the richest groom possible, right?

Only son, because of love failure what if he commits suicide?

Iyer, please fix an auspicious date

- Won't you talk to the girl's unc- - SHUT UP!

Poking your nose unnecessarily

Why are you quiet, man?

[ominous music]

No, sir

Viji has a lot to achieve in life

I don't want her to get married immediately

You are talking as if you are her biological dad

You just brought her up That's all, right?

What will a girl gain by achieving?

Get her married

My son will give her a son

Let her bring up my grandson and be a dutiful wife and mother

'What... understood?'

[somber music]

[thrilling music builds]

Come, get up

- HEY! - Sssshhhhhh!

What a wretched excuse for a human you are!

Demeaning womenfolk like this?

One track mind, obsessed with money, cash, rupees

Supposing I get my daughter married to your son just like you asked

Supposing your son died in a lorry accident

Your business tanked and you ended up homeless, on the streets

What is the condition of your family, hmmm?

My daughter will join the army and win laurels

After that, if she still loves your son

Come to my doorstep then

You and your son can live off her earnings

Shut your gob and bugger off now

[heavily breathing]

'Karthik'

Karthik, wait please

I'll apologize on behalf of my chitha

Please, sorry

Is he even human?

Behaving like an animal?

He isn't like that, Karthik I can explain everything

Enough

We can decide about our love and marriage later, focus on your future

If you are with him none of your dreams will come true

First get rid of him, Viji

[emotional music]

Viji darling

Don't worry your pretty head

He is not the right choice for you, dear

When his dad spoke like that he sat quiet without saying a word

He should support and say you want to achieve, right?

First join the army-

Leave me alone, chitha

[sentimental music]

Go away from me

How does it matter to you what I do with my life, chitha?

I don't want to join the army

I know it was my dream long ago

But I don't want that now

I want to get married and lead a happy life

That's enough for me, chitha

Even now

I feel like yelling my throat hoarse to you 'leave me alone for God's sake'

But I don't have the guts to do so

Look how my hand is shaking

Viji

If my dad had been alive today

He would have at least felt sorry for me and left me to do what I want

[sniffling]

Anxiety, fear, phobia

I am plagued with so many weaknesses

How can I fare well in the army, chitha?

I am begging you with folded hands

Viji

Don't talk to me

Don't follow me

Leave me alone and go, chitha

Viji?

[heartwrenching music]

Let her do what she wants

It is not right to force your view

How can I let go, Kayal?

How can you let her be?

Didn't you hear what she said just now?

Fear, anxiety, phobia She has all these weaknesses

You think this world will allow such a child to live peacefully?

I am right next to her today

Tomorrow?

Shouldn't she learn to be gutsy to protect herself?

She's just a kid, saying something in the heat of the moment

Why should I take it to heart?

- [sniffles] - [heartwrenching music continues]

Whatever happens, I cannot give up on my child, Kayal

I will beg her

I will make her understand

If need be, I'll even fall at her feet

Her fear is the sole reason

It has created a hatred over her goal in life

We must wipe out that fear

And make her strong

Like a tigress

I can do it

I will do it

[screaming in panic]

'Run... save your skin'

Run for your life

Hey! Get in

Get into the car

- [gripping music] - [thunder rumbles]

Anna! Why are your limbs trembling in fear?

Petrified because of one man, huh?

You could've killed him there and brought the girl over?

That would have been impossible

His hands shoved 30 lives to hell

And I witnessed it in front of my eyes

NOT HEARD ABOUT HIM?

NOT HEARD ABOUT THALAPATHY'S FULL-THROTTLE FRENZY?

BLOOD-SHED HUMAN SACRIFICE OF 30 LIVES HE OFFERED THE FOREST DEITIES?

NOT HEARD ABOUT IT?

'In order to loot the minerals worth millions found in this area'

'Evacuating the residents of the hamlets here who were a hindrance'

'Fell on our leader's shoulders'

Don't spare a single soul

Round up everyone here

[slashing and stabbing]

'Hoist them up that tree'

'If the entire hamlet does not evacuate this forest region'

We will burn down everyone along with this tree

Even if we die, we will not leave this land

Then you deserve to die

[embers blazing]

[vicious laughter]

ANNAAAAAAA!

[metal clangs]

'The anguished screams of the innocent people'

'The forest guarding deity heard the cries loud and clear'

[mass music intensifies]

Hearing their loud wails

Whether Goddess Kali swirled Her trident in a cosmic dance possessing him

Or their forest deity replicated Shiva's dance of fury, we don't know

But listen

Every single strike he delivered

[mass music continues]

[mass music continues]

[thunder rumbles]

The trees that touched the skies stood still in sheer panic

Witnessed a witch-hunt like never before

[mass music continues]

[continuous slashing]

- [mass music continues] - [continuous slashing]

[mass music continues]

[screaming]

It instilled in me a terror that will shake me till my last breath

He killed 30 men readily for the forest people's sake

How many will he kill for his daughter?

Think about it

[ominous music]

As long as he is alive

We can't touch that girl

Divert attention

You were not their target, anna

They came for your daughter

Did they get a whiff of our investigation?

'They even went to her college in the morning'

Danger is circling her, anna

Anna, he is that girl's friend

Hi, bro

Advance

Viji, you are in danger Allow me to be near you

- Viji, don't even talk to me - Let's go

Let me just be beside you, that's enough

Viji

Viji, Karthi wanted to see you urgently

- Why? - Don't know

Something important it seems, come soon

[thrilling music]

Anna, why are you still waiting here?

Viji has already left

- What do you mean? - Yes

Karthik wanted to see her urgently She went with his friend a while ago

[thrilling music continues]

[mobile ringing]

Chitha is calling me

First switch off that phone

If he comes, he will create a ruckus again

[thrilling music continues]

'I will send you the # of a boy Suresh'

Track his live location and text it to me

Suresh

You said Karthik called me

Why have you brought me here?

Who are they?

Vroom!

[screams]

Hi, bro, I brought the girl following your instructions

Settle my balance account

Give, da

[sharp stab]

[thrilling music continues]

Account closed

Where is scientist Khaleel?

I don't even know him, anna

- [slaps] - [shrieks]

[thrilling music continues]

After giving the file to Chief Minister

You are pretending to be ignorant?

He was handicapped and I helped him

I don't know anything else about him, anna

- [slaps] - [shrills]

[thuds]

Last warning

If you don't divulge Khaleel's whereabouts

I'll dice you to bits

'And throw you into the fire ready to char you'

I've checked her phone fully

It has no information about Khaleel

'Even his phone # isn't saved'

Doesn't seem like this girl is involved

She's innocent, sir

Innocent, huh? Imbecile!

Would she have given the file without seeing it?

Kill her

[thrilling music erupting]

Illicit liquor peddlers who caused my husband's death

Police who killed the protestors

I will not leave this spot till these offenders are arrested

'Holding ground in front of Kannagi statue demanding justice for her husband's death'

'A bold Porkodi protests against all odds'

'People's support to the protest amplifies'

'Bullets the prize for voice of justice?!'

'Chief Minister orders transfer of all senior officials in Madurai district'

'IAS topper Leela Rani appointed as District Collector'

'IPS topper Amrish Pujari'

'Appointed as new Deputy Commissioner of Police'

'Ready to risk my life to ensure people's safety'

'DC Amrish Pujari's sensational interview'

Aren't you ashamed to wear this uniform?

In this district alone

You couldn't even nab those who brewed the illicit liquor

Why?

Is someone holding you back?

I WANT TO KNOW THE REASON

'Sir'

Hey! Won't you shut your gob?

I will tell you, sir

Go in and see for yourself, sir

'You will identify the offender'

[ominous music]

'Roja Rangaswamy'

That name doesn't feature only in that file, sir

'It will be written on every file you see here'

[sinister music]

Not just illicit liquor, sir

'Marijuana, kangaroo court with palm-greasing'

Granite quarry, sand mafia

Murder, loot, contracts

All anti-social, criminal, filthy activities are organized by

The untouchable

The one and only

Undefeated Roja Rangaswamy

[sinister music intensifies]

A powerful politician even the CM is scared of, sir

[sinister music continues]

Hello

District Secretary of the Ruling Party

Roja Rangaswamy speaking

Regarding?

'Regarding' means what, da?!

- About what? - Oh!

About whether you want to be alive or not

Your kind information, you're talking to the Deputy Commissioner of Police

I have written some laws just like Ambedkar's code of law

Roja Rangaswamy Law Code

'According to my laws'

You should meet me before you check files in your office

First salute is for me

Do that and go

I will come

I'll beat you to a pulp

Strip your shirt off and parade you in your knickers

PREPARE FORCE

ASSEMBLE COMPLETE FORCE THERE

[pulsating music]

SURROUND THE BUILDING

No one should exit

No one should enter

[pulsating music continues]

Get up, man

[mocking laughter in unison]

[ominous music]

SIR!

[crowd clamor]

'Sir, no clue how and where they sprouted like mushrooms from'

1000 people around the house

10,000 all around the road

'In this entire area'

'More than 100,000 have encircled us, sir'

- [dramatic music intensifies] - [crowd clamor]

The moment you entered the Record Room my men surrounded me to protect me

Look

[ominous music]

Hey!

If you have to strip me half naked

You need authority

And power

That rests

In the palm of my hand

[slaps]

[ominous music continues]

- [fabric ripping] - [haunting emotional music]

- [fabric ripping] - [haunting emotional music continues]

[haunting emotional music continues]

[taunting laughter]

[fabric ripping]

Hey!

Who made you DC, eh?

You studied, strived hard for this post

You passed in flying colors and became Deputy Commissioner

But I, on the other hand

1 million people voted for me and I'm elected representative of the people

District Secretary of a Party with millions of members

Not merely a district official

We belong to a dynasty of rulers

Officers like you are always lone wolves

But politicians

Always move in a pack!

Hey!

Bring it here

Toe the line at least from now on

Wear this and go with your dignity intact

[haunting emotional music continues]

[derisive choral laughter]

[haunting emotional music continues]

[derisive choral laughter]

[haunting emotional music continues]

[mortified music]

Sir...?

You're asking questions of no consequence

We placed a bet in a game

He won

[ridiculing laughter]

'3rd consecutive day of hunger-strike'

'Roja Rangaswamy claims it is Opposition's deliberate ploy'

'College students showed solidarity by wearing black badge'

'School students distributed notice advocating their support for the protest'

Brother, this is Porkodi's daughter

- Ask your appa to support us - Okay, akka

'Selvi?'

Yes, anna

AMMA!

[gripping music]

'Arrest the culprit, pin down the cops who abetted the crime'

1 hour time

If you don't get up

Like you got to see her uniform

You won't see your daughter

Put an end to your protest and disperse

[gripping music continues]

[gripping music continues]

[patriotic music]

It is not my daughter's dignity fluttering in the wind

The honor of our nation

'On the ruling Party's flag post'

'School girl's uniform flutters in defiance of authority'

'Modern Kannagi's demand for justice'

'Viral video of Porkodi's uniform'

'Women's Associations demanding the arrest of Roja Rangaswamy immediately'

Leader, watching all this don't resort to drastic actions

Then your Party won't exist in 6 districts

That woman's hunger-strike is causing ripples now, man

Come on, sir

'I can handle that with ease'

[fire blazing]

[crowd shrieking]

'Sir, Roja's men have landed there'

'Do something, sir'

What is this fat file?

[shrieks]

[slaps]

Inspector by name Thalapathy

He has massacred 30 people because they roughed up villagers in a hamlet, sir

Have you arrested him?

Owning up to the crime

5000 residents of those hamlets are ready to surrender, sir

Then what action did you take?

We have meted out a different punishment, sir

[screaming in pain]

[shrilling]

What punishment?

Transfer, sir

Where to?

[amused laughter]

[gloating laughter]

AMMA!

[knife whooshing]

[metal clanging]

Sir, this knife slipped by mistake and slashed the neck

5-6 heads got hacked, sir

I am surrendering, sir

As soon as an issue crops up self immolation, hunger-strikes

They don't get you anywhere

An eye for an eye Payback in equal measure

First eat properly

Let my daughter come

I will eat then

She will come

Eat now

[phone ringing]

Go

'Go and speak'

Listening to his voice your voice will change

'Your body will shake and shiver'

He will order you to shoot me

Obey his order, go now

Inspector speaking

I made your DC run in disgrace with just his shorts on

You won't even have that luxury!

[sniffles]

Ask for a glass of water next to your chair

- Why? - You'll need it, ask

Get me a glass of water, da

Done

What do you want to stir?

'SIR!'

Thalapathy

He has sent heads, sir

[mass music erupts]

[mass music continues]

If Porkodi's daughter does not come here right now

With hundredfold more enmity than her mother to seek vengeance

I will come there

Your entire empire

The girl will get home

[car whirring]

[door opens]

HEYYY!

AIYO!

Oh gawd!

Selvi

Sir... sir... sir

'You thought I got scared?'

[jeering laughter] [tense music]

I am hosting a feast tomorrow at home

'Both of you should definitely come over'

News should carry videos of you feasting with a smile plastered on your faces

If that doesn't happen

'You saw that girl's body stripped naked'

Tomorrow you may have to see your mother's body in the same state

'After that'

I may have to see your lifeless body!

[angry grunt]

Ask for the feast to be prepared

[crowd erupts in cheers] [whistles and cheers]

THALAIVAA!

All of you, enjoy the feast and only then leave

[crowd erupts in cheers] [whistles and cheers]

[screams] [heavy thud]

[drumbeats grow louder]

Come, my dear... welcome!

Eat

[camera shutters snap]

Thalapathy

My family has been immersed in politics for 50 years!

'My grandfather'

My father

Now it's me

Tomorrow, my son My grandson

We will continue our politics

Our word will be law

Knowing all this, I swear you-

[pulse-pounding music]

[amused laughter]

If you want another husband, ask me

I'll send over some fellow

Instead of that, what's this protest, hoisting a flag?!

[sadistic laughter]

If she had co-operated she will be alive today, no?

Nothing much

Her daughter acted pricey

She died because of a few tight slaps

This rascal!

[loud wail of despair]

[screams of despair echo]

DC seems deeply disturbed, ma'am

Better to break down the door and start treatment at once

[music grows tense]

Putting up with this humiliation

Why am I still alive?

Die

Better die

DIE

Better off dying

[screams]

Why am I living?

DIE

DON'T LIVE, DIE

[heavy, angry breathing]

Who... who is that?

Who prevented me from dying?

('Why should you die?')

Then what? You want me to be humiliated

Lose my authority and be a slave to bureaucracy?

('Is that your fault?')

('Are you to blame?')

Don't you understand?

Come here Come in front of me

Look... look at this

Look, 10 years ago

'He was a drug peddler'

'Today he's a councilor'

This chap...15 years ago, he was conducting full-on kangaroo court

Today he's a chairman

This lowlife vagabond heads the sand mafia

Today he is a politician MLA

All of them are controlled by the Ruling Party's District Secretary

Wanting to clean up our nation of corruption

We arrest such criminals, and put them behind bars

But these people

This ignorant public

Vote for the same criminals we arrested, crowning them with title and position

'Ensure they occupy seats of power'

What's even more demeaning, we have to salute the same criminals we arrested!

Salute, sir Salute!

Not only here

Whole of India

Same sad plight

I cannot live stomaching this disgrace, without authority and as a slave

Give me my gun

I WANT MY GUN

COME OUT

COME OUT!

[ominous music]

Hey!

Who are you?

You are ME, da

You won't be a slave to anyone any longer

Entire Tamil Nadu will become your slave!

How?

You don't need this slave of a policeman's job

Become a politician

Grab authority into your hands

Who will vote for me?

If an illiterate imbecile like Roja

'Can deceive the people into voting for him'

An educated police officer like you

Imagine how easily you can con them and bulk up your vote bank?

How can I do this single handed?

Follow the footsteps of Hitler and the British

Divide them on the basis of caste, community, region, religion, language

Incite rebellion and unrest

Let the people die in their own in-fighting

Enforce controlled democracy

This is atrocious

The people will bear the brunt of it

Didn't you tell me just now?

The people ruined our country by voting the wrong candidates to power

Then who are the real criminals?

Huh?

People

NO...I DON'T AGREE

- WRONG - RIGHT

It is wrong

Not wrong... not wrong at all

WRONG, I WON'T AGREE

Will you obey me or not?

NO, I WON'T

YOU DESERVE TO DIE THEN

DIE

- It's a crime - THEN DIE

'Wrong'

[rapid gunfire]

[eerie music] [labored breathing]

[loud knock on door]

[dark, heroic music]

'Sir'

Roja has been arrested

Wear your uniform again with your usual swag, sir

There is no authority labelled on this uniform

The uniform I will wear hereafter

Completely different!

[upbeat tense music]

'Don't be scared'

'Don't think I want to take revenge on you'

I am not such an idiot!

Shake hands

I have humiliated you

I don't have any power, position, Party Why are you here?

Why do you need a Party or position?

You will start a new independent Party

I intend to

Make you win the election and become the Chief Minister

You will make me Deputy CM

I don't understand

But first suggest anything to kill Thalapathy who sent me to this hell

I'll do it

Wherever I turn

People are celebrating him

If you kill him now he will become God!

Kill him without making him a martyr

'Shall I tell you my plan?'

[dark, upbeat music]

Hey!

What?

I want to meet Thalapathy sir

Very important matter

He has taken off for 2 days to attend a temple festival

[lively folk music]

SIR

My name is Ilias, sir

'I was given an order to make 40 color bombs for a school function, sir'

'When we were doing it'

What is this?

Gelatin, RDX are being unloaded?

Ilias

You are doing this for God

You should just zip your lips

If you pack this much explosive

Do you realize the death toll, bhai?

[thrilling music]

Let them die

I wanted to convey this

I went to meet the Deputy Commissioner, sir

Hey!

[music grows tense]

[intense, rhythmic music]

[bomb explodes] [multiple explosions]

[haunting, somber music]

'Oh my God!'

Aiyo! My dear

[tense music]

'Religious riots follow the bomb blasts with Al-Rah owning responsibility'

'Ruling party has failed in its duty to protect the people from terrorist attack'

'Roja Rangaswamy plans to launch a new Party dedicated to people's welfare'

'In the coming election, contesting in all 234 constituencies'

'He vows to topple the ruling party'

[intense music]

WHY?

WHY, DA?

SO MANY INNOCENT LIVES!

Let them die

This is... just the beginning

NO

Wait

Waaait!

Listen fully to my plan of action

Then get angry

Hereafter riots will spread throughout Tamil Nadu

People who vote according to their caste and religious preference

They will vote for us instead

Our Party will win the election

We will rule with power in our hands

I will control the whole of Tamil Nadu

Dai... dai... DAI!

You are thinking in a villainous way

Me...?

AM I WRONG?

Securing a job in a reputable firm means being grilled with endless questions

'What is his vision? Is he educated?'

'Is he experienced? How is his character?'

But to vote

No questions asked

Candidate is our religion Vote for him, don't think twice

He is our caste, vote for him

Our symbol, vote for him

I am not the fool, da

People are the fools, da

One who brands the people as fools is the worst fool ever!

Son of an ordinary laborer

How did you join the police force?

The certainty that only by good actions can one win votes

Gave the illiterate education, shelter and self worth

Some may vote without thinking straight

Only we have to get to brass tacks and change them

Those who tried to change people have lost the game

We must use their foolishness to our advantage

Even if you want to do good, it can be done only by choosing the wrong path

REVOLUTION OF MY MIND

IS RIGHT

Because of one disgrace one single event

Your mind change

That's not revolution, da

REVENGE!

CHANGE IS A PROCESS

It will take time It will be slow

You will never understand my theory

[gunfire] SIR?

ILIAS!

[grunts and blows]

YOU

You didn't take the IPS exam intending to serve the people, da

It was power-fueled fury that spurred you to become a cop

He's a terrorist ARREST THEM!

'Both of them planted a bomb'

YOU SHOULDN'T EVEN BE ALIVE, DA

[gunfire]

Madam, your son has been in touch with terrorists

He has killed the DC who exposed him

Is it true he had stashed weapons in your house?

YES

[melancholy music]

You abandoned these people who supported you

Why did you stick to my side, chitha?

Viji dear

Do you remember what you told me when you were very young?

You said you were my mother

Will anyone abandon their mother when she is in trouble?

[heartfelt music]

I will listen to whatever you tell me hereafter

[heartfelt music] [zipper closes]

As per his plan, Roja secured 3rd place with his newly formed Independent Party

But if his plan was to rule the State

Why distribute weapons throughout India?

Who funded him to purchase all these weapons?

The very thought terrifies me

I think we should first contact the central agencies

What will you say if they ask for evidence?

Himmler is planning something with his dangerous ideology

We have to find out his entire strategy

'Till then, we need a Safe House where we cannot be traced'

'The right place for it'

'Military Training Campus'

How can we enter that campus?

Using Viji's training to our advantage

FASTER [rapid footsteps]

'FASTER...UP'

FASTER...UP

Good morning, Major

We have rejected your daughter's application

'So what brings you here?'

No, I was told she can clear the Army test if you train her

'That's why Please, Major'

Many girls will come and join Eager beavers at first like this

Just 2 days

They will run away saying it was too tough

Girls are only fit to take on jobs free of physical strain

Cinema modeling, all that is fine

'Not for army'

They lack that strength

You are completely wrong, sir Are there no women in our army?

You think I am wrong?

WOMEN ARE WEAK!

Should I prove you?

PUT YOUR BAG DOWN

RUN

Faster [tense music intensifies]

I SAID 'FASTER'

'Faster'

I SAID 'FASTER'

'FASTER'

She couldn't run even 3 rounds in 1 minute

You want to see more?

'I will show you more'

On the floor

ON THE FLOOR DO PUSH UPS

'START, 1'

Two

'THREE'

She couldn't even make it to 10 push-ups

'She is shivering'

'You had the gall to say I am wrong, huh?'

You want to see more?

YOU, INSIDE THE RING

[music grows tense]

- Suraj? - Sir

He is my Academy's best student

He will show you a final demo now

'Suraj'

- Kick her out - She's not at all trained

That too, how can she hit a boy?

You think she can hit him?

'No chance for all that'

At least let us watch if she has the strength to bear one single blow

Suraj

Yes, sir

[suspenseful music intensifies]

[fists thud and grunts]

One more blow from me, she will die

Take your girl back

'Teach her how to cook, draw 'kolam' and make sure she learns properly'

'Get her married to someone'

- That can be done, sir - Huh?

[heroic music intensifies]

[fists thud and grunts]

Best student?

Oh! I forgot He's a man

Let me give him another chance!

[struggling and grunting]

If you want me to teach culinary skills to my daughter

Then what will you teach him?

What, bro?

It's a very wrong, bro!

You seem to be talented, but-

Very, very narrow minded

I know what to do

Come, Viji

Sir, he bought chocolate for this child and sexually abused her

Rascal!

Take him to the station

Kayal

Take the child from him

[foreboding music]

Does he give you a candy daily like this, baby?

[pained sigh]

Touching you like that is wrong

Haven't you been taught at home or in school?

WHERE IS THIS CHILD'S SCHOOL?'

'Within this campus, sir'

Hi, everyone I warmly welcome the principal

Most favorable parents

And teachers to this 75th Annual Day

- What happened, sir? - Kayal

1 minute

[haunting, somber music]

My dear 'kutties'

'Nanbis'

'Uncle wants to share with you a very important lesson'

Will all of you listen carefully?

[unified voices in assent]

Louder

[louder chorus agreeing]

Even LOUDER

[ROARING in agreement]

Some men will play with you

'Lure you with candies and touch your body inappropriately'

You have to be very careful then

If he touches 3 parts of your body it is very wrong, it is a crime

Whoever touches you like that

You must immediately run and tell your mother

One is chest

Whoever touches you here

You should tell your amma

2nd is below your hip, back

If you are touched here

Tell your amma

3rd is between the legs

If touched there it is a major crime

Run at once and tell your amma

The person who touches you in these 3 parts

Maybe your friend who plays with you

Your teacher

Your neighbor uncle

Even in our own home

Your grandfather, uncle, elder brother, younger brother

Even if he is your dad's elder brother

Tell your mother

Your mother won't keep quiet

Your mother should NOT ignore it

I was born and brought up in a forest

I know to differentiate a fox from a tiger clearly

But here

There can be a fox disguised as deer

And wolf that wanders along with the fox

You should be safe, kiddos

An animal can never become a human even if it tries very hard to do so

But a man can become a beast

The moment he sees a girl!

Hereafter, just keeping a pepper spray in your bag

If something happens lighting a candle in silent protest

'Don't resort to all that'

A girl should be brought up to beat that 'beast' and skin him alive

Raise them strong like a tigress

You can scale Mt Everest and still

They will demean you saying 'women are weak'

[uplifting music] Stupid fellows!

He wouldn't have seen his mother suffer labor pains when she gave birth to him

If he had watched he would have realized

The strength of a woman

This lesson is more important than anything else you teach

Teach this daily

In another year, your daughter will be a military officer

I say it most respectfully

[triumphant music]

[upbeat, rousing music]

'Come on'

This is the Defense Radio Room with direct satellite network you wanted

Kayal Start your work

'Come on... come on'

'The fuse is lit wild in my eyes'

'Yeah'

'The cries echo to great heights'

'Every plan to escape, you thought that you could'

'It's Game over, homie when law hails down your hood'

'Know that, long as I'm here I brute you the guilt'

'I wield the Sword of justice tearin' up the filth'

'Look her a wrong way grave with your name'

'Disrespect women calls garlands on your frame'

'Catch you goin' adrift, single mistake, consequence to a woman's peril's lethal'

'I unleash them swift'

'Pit you vs me in a brawl, they know I'm the OG winner'

'Your people scatterin' at the glimpse of the justice bringer'

'Another crook in chains, yeah I'm steppin' up to the next level'

'In my radius, the badge sendin' you felons to the devil'

[energetic rap music]

'Complying to Thalapthy's request'

'Kayal extracted all the details of people in Himmler's network, A to Z'

'She showed an even more important evidence to Thalapathy'

[tense music intensifies]

Look at the Navy officer's hand

M - M

That means?

'At the same time'

'DC followed Khaleel's wife'

'And kidnapped the scientist'

'He was tortured to reveal the hideout of the evidence and modern weapons'

'Himmler found a crooked short-cut to capture Thalapathy'

Go

[heavy blow lands]

[panic attack]

See, there's no space for you to get anxious and panic

Physically she is perfect

But mentally

Her fear phobia is making her step bac-

She will conquer it, sir

When you get a gap to attack, use it then

Hey Viji

How come you are here?

- Hi - Hey!

Only now she is focused in her training

- Don't disturb her - Sir, I just want to talk to Viji

I'm asking you not to, right?

I want to talk to her just once, sir

'Chitha' Let me handle him

Karthik, come... come

[ominous music builds]

Sit down Sit... sit

I have set up a start-up company

It's huge

Oh!

What is this army stuff?

No need all this

You can't do this

Come with me

We can get married and let's enjoy our life

[poignant music]

Unlike you, I won't discourage you

All the best

Are you mad or what?

You want to fall into his trap once again?

He is playing with your life

He's a sadist

Sit down Sit... sit

What did you say?

He has trapped me?

He's playing with my life?

Do you know the meaning of 'sacrifice', da?

Leaving your business

Polishing my shoes

Making a glass of juice for me

Can you stand behind me at least for 1 hour?

That man for 12 long years

He left his life, future, everything behind and stood like a solid pillar for me

He put up with my tantrums

He tolerated being humiliated

He will smile when I smile

If I cry he will be heart-broken

He will always call me 'Viji dear' loaded with love

Who will do all this, da?

He will teach how a girl should stand with courage and confidence in the world's eyes

I am standing

For his sake

I don't care if I lose my life doing so

And then... what did you say?

Sadist, huh?

He is my Thalapathy, da

My forever friend

My elder brother

My dad's younger brother

I've hassled her to follow her dream from when she was a kid

I thought, in one corner of her mind, she maybe angry with me

[warm music]

You heard her, Kayal?

I am

She said I am her 'appa'

This is enough for me, Kayal

One more step

All we need to do is make Viji climb 1 step higher

Fear is the only barrier for her to do so

The fear he gave Viji and the people of our country

We must destroy that fear

First we have to destroy him

'What is M-M?'

'To find out Himmler's whereabouts'

'To uproot his network'

'Thalapathy came up with a solid plan'

'Himmler sketched his own plan to capture Thalapathy'

I know how to bring him out

Ask Roja to enter the forest with 500 of his men

Tell him to kill the residents of that entire mountain-forest

He will show up

[driving, tense music]

HEY!

Get them all, men, women, children, the entire lot

[screams and commotion]

'Anna'

'Anna Anna!'

Missing, anna

- Who is missing? - The entire clan!

Move

Anna...!

Only one female is sitting in front of the guardian deity

[distant thunder rumbles]

Oye!

Where is everyone?

WHERE?

Tel-

Burn her

[menacing inhale]

Will you tell me or be ready to die?

Strip her and burn her naked, da

[cloth rips]

[tense music intensifies]

Take this glass of water

You will need it, take it

HEY! HE IS HERE

Go into the forest and look for him

[tense music intensifies]

[scuffling and grunting] [rapid gunfire]

[crowd erupts]

HEY!

Didn't you ask for Thalapathy?

He is coming for you blazing in red hot fury

'If Roja squeals we will all be in a royal mess'

'How could you have been so careless?'

'We have worked for this for 15 long years'

'How will M-M function now?'

M-M will definitely happen

'No one on earth can prevent this'

"If I command, it happens then and there"

[song from 'Enga Veetu Pillai']

"If it is well executed altogether"

"Some chase desire, suck up for their need Some sweet-talk to satisfy their greed"

"No shame in their behavior"

"No self worth whatsoever"

"They grab the tail and blindly tread Following paths where reason has fled"

"The future will dawn My duty will begin then on"

"I will surely wipe out this gang's misdeeds no doubt"

Instead of entering politics to serve the people selflessly

Do you barge into politics to loot and kill innocent lives?

[rope lashes] What is M-M?

What do you plan to do with so many guns?

Hey... hey... hey!

I knew you will come to me next

I'll tell you From A to Z

But you cannot prevent it

Nor can you prove we are the offenders

Because the culprits are the people

They will continue to be the culprits!

[rapid gunfire]

'The day you shot our DC'

Shahul who planted a bomb for us

Thalapathy's men handed him over to the police

'Police will be here anytime to arrest you'

Only if I am alive!

'We faked DC's death and planted guns in your house'

'We threatened your mother and forced her to make a false statement'

'And then, with help from my arms suppliers'

'I facilitated DC's escape to Africa'

[tense music]

'At that time civil war was rampant throughout Africa'

'Companies were exploiting natural resources worth billions'

'But the President of Swasnia alone was preventing entry of any company'

'DC discovered this and approached all the companies'

'Signed an agreement stating he can conquer Swasnia and provide entry'

'He entered Swasnia'

'He started toy factories slowly and steadily within Swasnia'

'And smuggled guns through those toys'

'He established caste and religious institutions within Swasnia'

'Using those organizations as tools'

'My caste is higher My religion is superior'

'He sowed seeds of hatred in people's minds'

'That hatred flared day by day in unreasonable proportions'

'It exploded into rebellion'

'Correctly at that point in time'

'He distributed freely to the people guns smuggled by him in the toy factories'

'Civil war erupted'

[explosions and gunfire]

'People shot one another in a frenzy driven by caste and religious hatred'

'Millions of people died'

[haunting vocalizations]

'Swasnia surrendered at the feet of the companies'

'Companies started referring DC as 'Man of Death' John Himmler'

India too has many differences like Africa

Caste, religion, language

State, north, south

If we execute this plan

Like Africa

India will be at our feet

[tense music]

M-M?

Mission Meluha

Meluha is

The name for Ancient India

Name of My India!

'First Stage of M-M'

'Store guns in India just like we did in Africa'

'We started Hindu, Islamic and Christian religious institutions all over the State'

'We set up IT wings, war rooms'

'Claiming we are superior and they are an inferior lot'

'We spread many historic lies on social media and WhatsApp'

'Not realizing hatred is the strongest weapon in the world'

'People bought our stories'

Now is the final strike

Weapons

Guns

As soon as these arms reach the people's hands

Similar to Africa

Civil war will explode in India

People's right to vote will be revoked

Autocracy will bloom and blossom

Absolute authority will fall into our hands

[tense music intensifies]

You think Indians too will take to guns like Africans?

Are we Indians that stupid?

People won't take guns in their hands

We will be the ones shooting at them

'When we shoot'

People stemmed by hatred will support us

People of that religion should be shot like this

People of that caste should be hacked like this

Same with people of that State

People will voice their dissent

Last strike

Where and when is it happening?

Today

One hour from now

Many countries waiting to loot India are supporting Himmler

You cannot do any damn heroism

Move aside

[tense music intensifies]

'Police Head Quarters Chennai'

'Entire Tamil Nadu is safe guarded by our diligent police department'

'Today is the reopening ceremony of the DGP office after renovation'

'With immense pride Honorable Governor and I are here for this special occasion'

'This building boasts of a history of 175 years'

'Looking back with pride on that history'

'Many proud moments, sacrifices-'

[tense music intensifies]

'Stop... stop'

[tires squeal]

'I consider it my duty to preside over this momentous occasion'

[alarm wails]

[bomb explodes]

[continuous explosions] [sustained gunfire] [chaos erupts]

[menacing upbeat music]

Hi dummies

'Pakistan terrorists who seized control of DGP's office in Tamil Nadu'

All the VIPs of this State are my hostages

Who will run the State?

Whom should I talk to?

I am Leela Rani Chief Secretary of Tamil Nadu

I am going to run the State

Chief Minister, Governor, Deputy General of Police, Commissioner

If you want all of them alive

3 demands

1st demand

Whatever happens till dawn

No policeman should step out of any station all over the State

TV and mobile signals should not be cut

- Not possible - Make it possible

'Pcccht!'

'Prime Minister's instruction not to accede to the terrorists' demands'

[Hindi] Go... go

'Armed forces are being deployed'

'Prime Minister selects Major Gilber Singh as the Commander of the Rescue Team'

'We have received orders from Delhi to take over this Operation'

Tell me the action plan

If we perform a sudden surprise attack we can rescue everyone

It's a go Strike the enemy

[tense music intensifies]

Military, para military, Marine Commandos, NSG

Reserve police, Commando, Garud Every unit has landed, bhai

How will we manage?

'Governor, Chief Minister and all others to be rescued shortly'

'As announced by the Army Commander'

Drive to DGP office

[struggling and grunting]

Start the car 'Anna, DC has been nabbed'

'I will be there in 10 minutes'

'Get me past the police barricade and take me into the DGP office'

Hey!

Thalapathy

Not just you

No one can enter that office

Stored in there

'RC Warfare weapons'

Soldiers

Only 25 terrorists are inside

'If we surround the building'

'And attack all sides at the same time'

'Easily we can secure it'

- 'How is the josh? - High, sir'

POSITION

AND MARCH

[uplifting, tense music]

RC War

Begins here

[huge explosion]

HALT

[ongoing explosions]

[menacing music]

Terrorists are coming

ATTACK!

[helicopter rotors whir]

[metallic stomping]

[rapid gunfire]

Shoot that robot!

[helicopter rotors whir]

[screams]

[massive explosion]

[sinister, upbeat music]

[rapid gunfire]

[relentless explosions]

[loud thud]

Clear the premises

We are taking over from here

[gunfire echoes]

[successive explosions]

[tense music intensifies]

[sounds of a struggle] [grunts and strains]

[glass shatters]

[explosions continue]

May Day! May Day! May Day!!

[helicopter engine whirs, then explodes]

[screams and cries]

[gunshot]

[laughter]

'Even if you bring in the entire Indian Military here'

You can't touch me Not even one strand of hair!

'Shut your gob and obey me'

'Govt bows down to the threats and demands of the terrorists'

Lock the station door

'Shut down of police stations throughout Tamil Nadu'

[door locks]

Salman

Escalate to the next level

[grunts]

Governor

Announce that Pakistan terrorists are gunning down only Hindus

Is that so?

[rapid gunfire]

'Pakistan terrorists are gunning down only Hindus'

'Somehow save them please'

'Killing all the Hindus'

'We will make India a Muslim country'

[hesitant music]

'All over Tamil Nadu in various districts'

'Shops and houses under attack'

Hey! Come out

[sinister vocals]

'Save us, uncle'

[indistinct shouting]

[muffled cries]

Hey! How can we enter the DGP office?

Tell me, da

Only scientist Khaleel is equipped

With weapons to counter the attack

We have kidnapped him too

Hey! Where have you kept scientist Khaleel captive?

TELL ME

BLURT IT OUT, MAN

[flesh squelches]

Ur-ban

'Square Building'

Who are you, sir? You can't come in here

[rapid gunfire]

Khaleel

Khaleel

Look at me

Do you remember this girl?

[tense music intensifies]

I am her dad

'Ex-police'

Himmler has attacked the DGP office

He is holding the Chief Minister, Governor and others captive

Only if we barge into DGP office and kill Himmler

We can prevent the weapons reaching the people's hands

But

They are attacking with RC War weapons

Weapons I invented to prevent such a holocaust of a war

Evidence regarding Himmler

My assistants have proof in my Safe House

Where is that Safe House?

Victor, take the last strike to the next stage

As per our plan blast only 1 temple

The attackers are only Muslims and Christians

Spread this false news in social media

[temple bell chimes] [eerie music]

[tense music]

[mobile chimes]

Now take the guns to the people

If they clutch the guns in their hands

Our mission is accomplished

We can leave

They have destroyed our temple

We must raze their mosque and church to the ground

Pick up the guns

[tense music intensifies]

Don't spare a single 'bhai'

'We will rise'

'For justice We will rise'

They are coming to demolish our mosque We can't keep quiet any longer

Before that, let us demolish their temple

'You touch us, face our fury Push our luck, taste injury'

If anyone dares to target our church

Gun him down

- Hereafter - Our rule

- From now on - Our rule

'Spread of weapons throughout Tamil Nadu'

'Danger of eruption of a civil war'

'Tamil Nadu struggles without a leader to protect her people'

[soaring orchestral music]

Khaleel is safe Don't worry

- Thank you so much, anna - Where are the weapons?

'This is the high frequency interceptor armored truck built by Khaleel sir'

'This truck will bear the onslaught of any kind of attack for 10 minutes'

'But after that, if attack continues the truck will collapse'

'Bullet proof dress for the driver'

We have 3 laser guns, sir

'It will destroy electronic parts'

'These are interceptor guns'

'For cutting remote frequencies'

Can we handle all their weapons with just these prototypes?

No, ma'am

As per our research

They can be used in 2 ways

One is operated manually

The other is programmed and operated

We have to plan differently to tackle both options

What plan?

Friendly fire

Machine does not have thinking capacity

The machine will attack whoever is programmed as enemy

It will even attack its own troop!

How?

Religious fanaticism and caste-fueled fury

If we program such rage

They incite riots amongst themselves and bomb blast each other

- Like that? - Yes, sir

But friendly fire

If we have to program their machine

We need access to the control room in that specific building

I got a plan

Prepare yourself

Kayal

Record what I am about to speak now

'My helicopter will land now No one should obstruct it'

One of you has to accompany me as a safety measure for me

'30th minute after this'

Everyone will be freed

Who is going in his helicopter?

We are ready, sir

Evidence is in this drive

You remember our plan?

Take care Viji will come with me

Why take this risk?

Let her come with me

Not only because of people's fear

We need to arrive at a decision for Viji's fear phobia too

[tense music intensifies]

[drone whirs]

'Bhai, an unknown drone is crossing our area'

Follow that drone

'That drone has entered an armored truck'

'Get close to it'

[tense music intensifies]

Blast him

[rapid gunfire]

[explosion]

[tense music intensifies]

Heavy signal jammers for 10 meters

- Can't edge closer - Shoot from the distance

[rapid gunfire]

'Armor down, 83%'

[tense music intensifies]

'57%'

[upbeat music]

[bullets strike metal]

'Missile activated'

[upbeat music] [gunfire]

[explosion]

DAMN!

Launch the 'Big boys'

CHITHAA!

[screams]

[tires screech as the car swerves]

[rapid gunfire]

'10 - 9 - 8'

'7 - 6 - 5 - 4'

'Activate'

[heavy gunshots]

[tense music intensifies]

Teju, lock the door

'25%'

[rapid gunfire]

'20%'

[metal door clangs open]

'9%'

[rapid gunfire]

[fists thud and grunts]

'6%'

'4%'

'1%'

[machine emits a chime]

[loud banging]

YES! YES!!

[tense music intensifies]

[machine rumbles]

[rapid gunfire]

He should not be allowed to enter

You're okay?

'Close a pending case and I'm on the next major sequel'

'Castin' brighter lights, wardin' off all the evil'

'See you slippin' I may go the lengths to seize you'

Tell them to stop giving guns to the public

[devilish laughter]

In a short while

Hindus will demolish churches and mosques

Muslims and Christians will knock down temples

After that, India will face permanent chaos and communal violence

In a couple of years, arms will multiply and democracy will crumble and collapse

Then I'll blow the conch and send democracy to its cemetery

And I will be king of this country

Son, don't be hasty

If this bomb explodes not only us

Innocent public will die too

Aspiring for power and position how many more dramas will you enact, sir?

Drama... me? What are you saying, son?

My daughter gave you a file in a college function

How did it land in his hands?

I gave that file to Chief Secretary Leela Rani

'She read through it and told me'

'Nothing to worry, sir I will handle this'

'Leela Rani is my girlfriend'

'We were batch mates in UPSC training'

'Our dream was to make India sit up and take notice of us'

'What's your plan?'

- M-M - M-M?

Important officers never attend the same function together

I will handle this

[villainous laughter]

CHITHA!

Watch democracy collapse and then die, da

'Raze the mosque to the ground Not a trace should remain'

[tumultuous shouting]

'HEY! Shoot whoever comes in between'

'Raze the temple to the ground, da'

'Destroy the church'

'If anyone intervenes shoot at sight'

'In 1 hour, there should be no trace of that church'

'Reduce the mosque to rubble'

'Demolish the church'

'Knock down the temple'

Even if a single stone gets damaged in the dome

Not one of you will get out of here alive

If you lay your hand on our church

You will be headless!

We'll make mincemeat out of you

Chase them away

'Hindus who prevented the demolition of mosques'

'Muslims who prevented the destruction of temples'

'Throughout Tamil Nadu'

'People belonging to one religion are guarding the place of worship of another'

'This is negating the fear of full-scale revolt among the people'

'Police department continues to seize the firearms and neutralizing them'

[triumphant laughter]

[overjoyed laughter]

[whistling]

[jubilant laughter]

[mock-cough]

Excuse me

[one last laugh]

'Himmler alias Amrish Pujari Ex-Deputy Commissioner'

'Evidence confirms him being the key perpetrator of this major revolt'

[anguished cry of disbelief]

NO...!

HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?

HOW DID YOU DO THIS, DA?

[rejoicing 'victory']

That is Tamil Nadu for you, da!

Evidence is in this drive

'You remember our plan?'

'Hi, sir'

The angel who gave me rebirth!

My treasure Thalapathy!

Just tell me what I should do

I will follow your orders

'I have sent some evidence and videos with my speech'

Dispatch the video to all police stations in Tamil Nadu

'Why is my Thalapathy not spreading this evidence on social media?'

'But sending it instead to police stations?'

Sir, if we spread it, social media will be able to prevent it today

'But the seed of hatred he has sown in people's hearts should rot'

'Humanity and tolerance should grow instead'

Religious extremism should be prevented in our history forever

Thalapathy has said so

How?

'You would've watched the evidence I sent'

'You know, Muslim terrorists have not seized DGP office as a bargaining tool'

'If you are still sitting inside the station without reacting'

'India is the next Africa!'

'Riot, rebellion, bomb blasts, guns'

'Behind these are not religion or people'

'Make the public understand it is sheer power madness and materialistic greed'

Prevent violence

Violence comes from hatred

Hatred comes from threat

Threat comes from

Dirty politics...!

All of us have to join hands and clear that dirty politics

[loud whistle]

'All beings are equal in birth But work decides their varied worth'

We are well aware

[laughter of 'victory']

NO

[panic attack]

You lost

Not only democracy

No one on earth can destroy our beloved democratic leader, da

[appreciative whistle]

He is hitting you and you are happily taking it

Fear flew far away!
