Title: PATTAS (FIREWORKS)

(Neyyattinkara Sub jail)

Don’t presume that she's like other women.

She has mastered the art of Adimurai (ancient Tamil martial art).

She has pierced the throat of the foreigner who killed her child.

Sakthi...

Sakthi!

Leave me!

I hate that laugh!

Sakthi!

Sakthi!

Sakthi...

Wake up Sakthi...

Sakthi...

Sakthi!

Sakthi

Sakthi!

Sakthi...

He broke my leg

"The new sun has come into my house."

"It plays beautifully."

"The shoulders are loaded with joy."

"When I lift you, my hunger vanishes."

"You are the shadow near me that will bloom to the dawn..."

"You are the one who spreads through the sky..."

"You are the abundant beauty that glows."

"Come dear the best language..."

"The path that the flowers have opened..."

"I am the broken statue..."

"You are the life that blossomed from it."

"Can the water go away from the sea?"

"Can the fish live on the shore?"

"Every second as I think of you, my heart melts."

"This small face in its purity, wipes out all the pain that I endured."

"To cherish you again in my lap, my womb is in penance."

"To lead a life without you, where do I commence?"

"You are the only reason for my existence."

"Will the sun ever vanish from the sky?"

"Is there a purest form of love better than a mother's love?"

"Rest your head to this lullaby..."

"Close your eyes to this lullaby..."

"Rest your head to this lullaby..."

"Close your eyes to this lullaby..."

In Bangkok...

for the eighth consecutive year, this is the finals for the MMA match.

MMA is mixed martial art!

It’s a game where within a cage, people fight and win.

Anyone who knows martial arts can participate.

The rules and regulations for this are special!

Amongst the games which are money spinners...

...this game occupies a very prominent spot MMA.

Richard is going to win the finals for the fourth consecutive time.

He's too ferocious in the fight!

Whoa! Adam is knocked down...

Richard won the match!

The success behind Richard's consecutive wins is the person who leads him...

...his father, his coach and former kickboxing champion, Nilan!

I am very happy to announce that...

MR Nilan is going to be our contact in India!

The place will be Chennai.

I have being waiting for this moment for many years.

I am very happy.

How come your son is the champion for all these years?

Isn’t there anyone else in India ?

I guess, there is no one in India who is as talented as my son.

Bro!

Show your strength bro.

Punch on the right!

87

Punch on the left!

30...40...80...

87... It shows the same power on both hands for you.

I think the machine is faulty.

Did we come here to check this?

Come let’s get to work.

(Thambaram thailaya kuppi Kathi para kappi)

Don’t you know when we are at work you should turn your phone off.

Sorry bro. Forgot to put it on silent mode.

It’s our guy, let me check what he wants.

-Tell me bro! -Dear!

Can you please renew my internet...

As you are in jail, I took pity and recharged it for you.

First, stop sharing your hotspot with these attendants.

What to do! Instead of money they want internet.

Next month, I will come out...

then you come and do it.

Dear! Listen, Puncture!

Which is your best moment in India?

My first championship cup!

It’ll always be a special moment for me...

...and it has a special place in my heart and my academy in Chennai.

Why this one is treated specially and kept in a glass box.

I think it’s silver!

We can pawn this.

Nonsense!

If it was silver he would have pawned it.

It’s rusted.

Then we will wash this well and use it for our restroom.

It’s very stressful without a mug.

Is it!

Then pack everything.

Tik tok freak!

Hey Alexa! Play the song for funeral dance.

See who I am!

She’s clueless what’s happening around her! Look at her dance.

Give me the phone!

Hello!

Sir, I am from the police.

There’s a break-in at your academy.

What?

Theft at the academy ?

-Tell him I am not here. -No, you're not the thief.

-Don’t tell them I am here. -Did we steal together?

Hello.

Your daughter has asked me not to tell you.

My daughter ?

Sadhana is your daughter, isn’t she?

She’s my staff. Give her the phone.

Staff?

Doofus!

But you were showing off like the owner!

Hello!

Why did I leave you behind?

What were you doing until everything was stolen?

What's with the long face?

Sir...That...

Sorry, sir.

Go! Show them the CCTV footage.

They first targeted the CCTV.

Show them the hard disc. Should I tell you everything.

Not just the hard disc, they did not even spare the cable.

But the thieves who came, are really dumb.

They didn’t take the cash from the office.

They just took away all these old cups and shields.

Idiot! Senseless!

Do you know the value of that cup?

Worthless tin!

It won’t even total to 350 rupees.

What’s the pride in gathering all this?

Hey! We took this for something else. Give me whatever you can.

Else you will shower in lakhs!

We are now millionaires!

-Like I'll believe that! -What are you blabbering?

Sorry bro! Without your knowledge, I swindled a big sum.

When? Where?

He's useless!

Separate them.

Yes, come in.

What’s this?

It’s a cheque for five lakhs.

They signed it and left it there.

That’s why I just took it.

On the way here, I spoke to the manager.

It will be shared in 70:30 ratio.

Did I show you my worth?

It’s invalid!

Invalid?

It’s invalid.

Then why do 10 people give this after they play and pose for photographs.

That’s a dummy given for advertising.

It’s invalid.

-Are you sure? -Will they give such a big cheque?

Seeing that the value is big, I assumed the cheque will also be big.

Shall I tell shout this out?

-No! -No need?

Can we leave?

We will take it with us.

It’s smooth and can be used to sleep on.

Whatever!

It’s really shameful.

Babu, find out who is behind this soon.

-The inspector is here. -Catch the thief before I reach!

I will take care!

Sir.

Don’t worry! We'll find them near the dump yard area.

-We will catch them. -Impossible, sir!

Sir...

-It’s the work of audio thief. -Audio thief? Who are they?

They have been stealing since the 1990s.

They will acknowledge the theft and leave behind a gift for the house members.

We have taken 25 sovereigns of gold from your house.

As a token of our appreciation, we are leaving this nose pin behind.

As you enjoyed the circus, we swindled everything!

For the children to celebrate, we are leaving this gift pack of fireworks.

Happy Diwali!

We came in search of you and took away all the wealth from your house.

In view of the upcoming festivals, here’s the pot to celebrate this Pongal.

Wonder what they left for us?

He has left dates for us.

-Seed-less? -What should we do?

He'll tell us!

Sir...

Let’s take one each.

Don’t touch!

-Fingerprints! -Genius!

You can't nab them even with their footprints.

They are not the one who have to plan a robbery!

Stealing is their natural talent.

They are the incredibles!

"I am a area boy, I am a naughty boy!"

"Without any qualms, I am a man of the mass."

"I am filled with love, I am filled with glee."

"Without money, I am still happy."

"Don’t try to show off with me!"

"You will be gone before you can think."

"We will be hand in glove..."

"And celebrate our friendship!"

"Chill bro! Super chill bro!"

"Go for kill bro!"

"We are winner winner chicken dinner!"

"Chill bro! Super chill bro!"

"Go for kill bro!"

"We are winner winner chicken dinner!"

"Chill bro!"

"Winner winner chicken dinner."

"Bro, chill bro!"

"Bro, chill bro!"

"The fuel price has shot up..."

"As we don’t have a car, it’s no problem!"

"In Chennai there’s no water."

"I don’t take a bath, so it’s no problem."

"I won’t think about tomorrow."

"When it’s a secret I won’t open my mouth."

"Those who trust me will never be let down."

"Those you ditch me, I won’t take it to heart."

"Don’t try to show off with me."

"You will be gone before you can think."

"We will be hand in glove."

"And celebrate our friendship."

"Chill bro! Super chill bro!"

"Go for kill bro!"

"We are winner winner chicken dinner."

"Chill bro! Super chill bro!"

"Go for kill bro!"

"We are winner winner chicken dinner."

"I am a area boy, I am a naughty boy."

"Without any qualms, I am a man of the mass."

"I am filled with love, I am filled with glee."

"Without money, I am still happy."

"Chill bro! Super chill bro!"

"Go for kill bro."

"We are winner winner chicken dinner"

"Chill bro! Super chill bro!"

"Go for kill bro!"

"We are winner winner chicken dinner!"

"Winner winner Chicken dinner!"

"Winner winner Chicken dinner!"

I am telling you not to scream.

Shut up!

Gosh! So, you're finally getting released?

At least now be sensible.

Keep it here.

At least now, after getting out from here, live a decent life.

-She’s an arrogant lady! -Go, mind your business.

Go Kanya! Finish him off!

Have you checked her things properly?

Yes ma'am!

-Give it to her. -Okay, ma'am.

You could have easily shortened it.

Unnecessarily you tried to escape four times and...

extended this to 16 years!

Sign here.

Your PCP account is closed.

The salary that you worked for is Rs 4.60 lakhs.

Your bag.

After you go out, control your anger. Calm down.

I will come back.

Never say that when you leave the jail or a place of death.

Leave now.

I will come back.

I think the cops have sniffed us.

Just pretend as if you know nothing!

Those two sir.

How come!

I know sir.

Hey!

-Told you, don't mind them! You pothead! -We?

Come here.

They are calling us bro.

Bro! My stomach is churning. Can I go home and come back?

-Shut up and come. -That’s a great idea bro!

Sir!

I heard about the two of you in this area...

...do you know about the audio thief?

The cassette companies have shut down ages ago...

...now it’s only about memory cards.

I will tell them.

Audio thieves are those who steal from a house.

After that, they sarcastically leave behind cash for the house expenses.

-Ever heard of them? -I don’t know.

They don’t know sir.

I am listening.

Will you do some work?

It depends on the work.

-Yeah! -Yes.

In this area, if someone is loaded with money and spends it unreasonably...

you should inform us.

From today, you both are police informers.

-Okay? -Sir!

Thanks for giving us a job in the Police.

With your physique, you want a police job?

He’s looking at me!

Why, aren’t you doing?

-Sorry sir. -Salute sir!

-Be sincere while on duty! -Yes sir!

Follow them.

What are you doing?

What do you want?

Look, two guys are peeing from your compound wall!

-Peeing? -Yes. See there!

Look at them both spraying all over!

-These fellows are trouble! -They are facing the camera and doing it.

Hey, who's that?

He’s so dumb.

Guard, no hurry. Take your time.

Bro, this way.

Here is the MMA agreement copy.

Greetings master.

Come Vicky.

Your daughter?

Yes master.

-What’s your name? -Mahirani.

Very nice name. What will you eat?

-Chocolate or ice cream? -Chocolate!

Bring a chocolate.

Tell me Vicky.

Master, it’s about...

They've selected you to play in Australia through auction.

You have come here to get a code of conduct.

Because I haven’t taken you anywhere and promoting you my son.

You are leaving from here?

Yes master. Even I have a family.

What promotion is it?

UFC!

Can you match their techniques?

Let’s get into an agreement...

As you are going out, I don’t know your skill level and condition.

You need to uphold the name of the academy.

-Babu... - Sir.

-Get the agreement drafted. -Okay sir.

Master...

that’s not necessary.

If you want the code of conduct...

...put on the gloves and come up.

Boys... continue.

Dad!

Dad!

Hey! Catch her.

Catch her!

Fire! It’s burning.

Stop the fire.

Stop the fire.

Hold it! Hold it!

Uh-oh!

Look at these people.

-Hey! Who is this? -Come inside.

-Are you in a running race? -My dear, it’s you.

In just a little time my heart almost exploded.

I though you will give me a grand reception as I come out of jail

You guys are running for your life!

-Where did you keep your hand now? -It was itching so I just kept it here.

Scratching, just get lost.

Our Pattas just blew up a big boxing academy.

Quiet!

How did this mode of terrorism brew within you?

When we go to get some stuff, we should just get that.

We cannot burn things down.

If we didn’t burn it, it would bend.

Can you tell me something that I will understand!

The one responsible for all this is the girl Sadhana in the opposite house!

Yes that girl.

That girl!

What’s your problem with that girl?

She’s a timid girl who does not raise her head as she walks.

It’s because of girls like her that we have rain.

(talking)

How docile!

You take it. You keep it.

Hey!

Sister, you get the water.

Sister?

Hey, you've been standing here for long. What do you want?

Give me a one rupee shampoo sachet.

What’s this nonsense throughout the night?

-It’s gas bro. -Then join a cylinder company.

For subsidy, I can’t pledge my pride.

Since when do you have pride?

-Seriously? -Hey, Pattas!

-Walk towards the side. -Why?

For how long will this girl walk behind you?

Oh God!

You are going to school. Can’t you ring the bell?

No uncle. If I ring the bell, it will be noisy.

They might be discussing something important and it will disturb them.

-That’s why. -You go my dear.

See, in the age of TikTok... Facebook...

...look at this girl in our street.

-Flashback? -Yes!

That was during the time she went to college.

When she started working, that petty thing developed horns.

The uncle who posted memes got arrested. Puncture, you're next.

How come you are leaving early?

I am getting 70K as salary...

don’t I need to leave early?

Do you know what’s 70K?

It’s seventy thousand!

Hey shopkeeper...

...do you have shampoo in a five liter pack?

I have kerosene in five liter pack.

Then pour it out and burn down your shop. Good day!

Ladyfingers, brinjal, potatoes, carrots...

Hey, vegetable man!

Do you have broccoli?

I don’t sell country chicken.

Country brute, you ask for something else.

Iceberg, lettuce, jackfruit, avocado, black olives... do you have any of these?

I have nothing like this!

Then why did you come?

I came here to sell onions!

Then give half a kilo of that.

It’s okay, leave it.

She’s a working girl. She’s earning something.

She will show off for sometime.

Is it a big deal?

If she shows it to someone else, it’s fine.

If she shows it to us! Oh my god!

What did she do?

Where will everyone keep the alarm?

Near the head or near the ear?

She kept it for the entire area!

Bro, the show's over. Let's go home.

Sadhana alarm has gone off.

Now we all need to get to work.

First, we must find a place to bury you!

As if he’s a big agitator trying to change the world.

She wants to exercise and for that...

Take that stone!

-Take that! -Game over!

You!

You broke it. Now what?

Don’t interrupt me, listen to what I'm saying!

Bro, if we are angry she annoys us further.

I was just wondering why Sadhana’s alarm didn’t go off.

-There you go! -Why is he promoting her everyday?

Break it dude.

You are screaming as if you're suffering an electric shock.

What happened?

What’s this?

-You just gave it to a few people and closing it now! -There’s no water.

Give me half a pot, it’s urgent.

It's empty!

Hey, she has a separate tube for herself.

She’s taken more than half of it!

If they ask her to do rainwater harvesting, she’s doing it for herself.

Come!

Bro, my stomach is churning.

Bro!

Go.

Why are you going into the bathroom in my house?

Don’t let him in. I am going.

-You wait. -Dad, you go.

Will someone go to the bathroom to plant a bomb?

He’s going to answer nature’s call

Go to your house. Dad, you go.

Let me go.

If you get all the water in this area, where will we go?

Why are you talking so loudly? Reduce your volume. Else it'll explode.

Bro, the storm is going to be released.

Don't fear bro.

Let me use the bathroom for this.

Look...

if I take a bath in salt water it does not suit me.

So I am paying Rs. 2000 and buying water.

If you want, you pay and get water.

Understood?

Sadhana...

You don’t know who you are locking horns with.

Time to get some brand new clothes.

Who is this parking the vehicle right in the middle?

Instead of parking it here, can I park it in your mouth?

What are you doing in my area? I will put pigeons on your face. Get out of here.

This is the pick up point for Sadhana madam.

It’s her order to park the car here.

Bro, the election money is playing in full swing.

We need not go for jobs for at least a month.

We can have a blast!

I need to go for my job. Move your vehicle.

Hello!

Madam gives Rs. 500 above the meter.

I am watching you, you’re talking like *#$&!

Move the vehicle else I will stomp on it.

Keep quite. Madam is coming.

What’s this? They are wearing coordinated costumes.

Still their dresses are incomplete!

It reeks of garbage.

As per our standards, should we live here?

You don’t have to, you can live in the graveyard.

Ignore him! We should live in posh areas like Poes Garden.

At the age of being in the pyre, he wants to be in Poes Garden.

Alexa, play the song! (Old Tamil song plays.)

Who is Alexa?

Must be her dad's mistress.

Awesome dear!

Come on, dear.

Leave.

We were struggling but the entire area was glorifying her.

#New Moon Festival

#Cricket

Let’s take a selfie.

We decided to show her who is the real show off!

We have donated Rs. 5000 for the temple offering.

Are you delighted with the flex hoarding?

Yes! Looks good.

Why can’t you just say Puncture? You say it’s Puncture alias Puncture.

You call yourself Pattas alias Sakthi.

I don’t have a second name, that’s why.

Get lost.

Now you will know who’s eminent in this area.

When she sees our banner...

RS. 10,000 for porridge drinking!

Sadhana Sha!

As if she’s from the family that ruled the capital.

Changing it from a porridge pouring to a porridge drinking festival.

We invite Sadhana Sha to bring cheer and joy in this area.

Sadhana madam is going to drink the porridge now. Is everyone ready?

Three... Two... One!

A special thanks to all who have come for this porridge drinking festival.

I can’t participate in today’s musical function...

as my owner is traveling abroad.

I am the one who is responsible for his movable...

...and immovable properties.

We will be responsible to bring it down.

We went there to damage her academy.

The police who came to investigate made us informers and roped us with her.

You are police informers?

Don't act so shocked.

To find the cups stolen under your management, I have assigned two informers.

Take a look at my informers.

Notice their style!

They are the useless scoundrels who live near my house.

They are not worthy of a penny.

For a person drawing 70K, I don’t need their help.

Didn't I give you a clue that thieves used sneezing powder.

These guys are useless!

That’s from your point of view.

From my point of view, they are good informers.

Greetings. I'm fine.

What’s this?

-Handle! -Did she ask the police to handle her?

No. It’s the handle of the cup that your owner lost.

You know who found it?

My intelligent informers.

Yes baby.

Irrespective of what you say, I won’t go with them.

Don’t you have to remove the stain on your name?

It has to change.

Then you should travel with them.

She was boasting about her 70K salary...

...just wait and watch, I will make her spend the entire 70K on us.

(Thambaram thailaya kuppi Kathi para kappi)

Will the thief be in such places?

Will the thief be on the streets?

He will come to places like this to spend the money! Come here.

The heroine from the opposite house... you are a lemon mint cooler.

You are slightly glamours, so what’s the big deal.

You’re an XXL torture, you are the movie running theater.

You're are the daughter of Peter. Don’t boast lady!

If you cover her with a cloth she’s a tiger...

If you catch her with a net she’s a rat...

If you offer her grains, she will fly away like a pigeon.

She’s the smart kid.

If you go near her, she will splutter. She’s a certified rowdy.

She will give us the same glares.

My goodness she’s a tough nut.

She’s a cool smart pants.

She’s a jubilant gem.

She’s a cool smart pants.

She’s a jubilant gem.

"The opposite house heroine, You are a lemon mint cooler."

"You are slightly glamours, So what’s the big deal?"

"You’re an XXL torture, You are the movie running theater."

"You are the daughter of Peter. Don’t boast lady!"

'The headquarters of cheating... I am way smarter than you!"

"Your head weight, add eight kilos to you!"

"There’s no business to insta, if you are not there."

"In installments, I will burn your money, my dear."

"She’s a doll for me now."

"It’s now our job to steal."

"The town will be painted red from my smart pants."

"She’s the smart kid!"

"If you go near her, she will splutter. She’s a certified rowdy."

"She will give us the same glares... My goodness, she’s a tough nut."

"She’s a cool smart pants."

"She’s a jubilant gem."

"She’s a cool smart pants."

"She’s a jubilant gem."

"The opposite house heroine, You are a lemon mint cooler."

"You are slightly glamorous... So what’s the big deal."

"You’re an XXL torture, You are the movie running theater."

"You are the daughter of Peter... How much is the juice?"

How much is the juice for?

200 rupees!

With the glass?

500 rupees.

It will be fine

-Cheers! -Uh-oh! It broke.

-Sorry, Cylinder! -The accounts will tally.

Until we recover everything from the accused, your salary will not be 70K.

It will be 7K!

It you try to go elsewhere for a job...

your certificates are all with us.

How dare he refuse to give my certificates!

-Pattas. -Who is it?

Puncture.

Coming. In a minute.

The missing cheque.

If it’s open, will you just barge in?

What’s this?

This? Puncture is basically a sports person.

They gave it to him when he was declared the man of the match!

What sport?

PUBG!

-PUBG sport! -PUBG sport?

Of course...

...they are jumping, running, chasing, shooting... it’s a sport.

Then why have they given the cheque in the name of my boss, Nilan?

Is it written like that?

He must've given it, so they must've put his name there.

You have stolen the cheque and are lying to me.

What’s this noise? Won’t you let me relax in peace?

He’s telling you and you are questioning him.

Puncture!

You’re doubting us? Won’t you believe us?

It’s the washroom cup.

It’s shinning because of the fantastic maintenance.

It’s not the washroom cup...

It’s my boss's cup, it’s his sentimental cup.

For a year, I polished it everyday.

Bro, she found out!

-I told you so many times to throw it out. -Then how will I clean up?

Run you crack head!

You both are the ones who stole from our academy!

Wait, I will hand you over to the police right now!

Call him.

Before that, there’s a short film. Do you want to see it?

It will be interesting.

Here...

Hold it. It will be comfortable.

Hey owner do you have a conscience?

Or at least a little brain!

If you had, why would you make that dumb guy the manager?

He’s asking me to sweep, to mop...

...and he’s asking me to polish the cup that you got.

Watch, one day I will get it stolen and then dump it at the dump yard.

Is it nice?

At the palatial bungalow a young girl does street dancing.

We will also inform the police that...

...it was this girl who drew the plan for us and asked us to steal.

You are in the opposite house. The manager already doubts you.

The police will easily believe it.

They will handcuff you. They will drag you across the streets.

Those who kept the flex for you. Sadhana Sha army...

...they will throw cow dung on your flex.

From the time you got this job, how boldly were you behaving!

That’s why we did this. Got it?

You created a ruckus. In return I created a ruckus.

That's it. Go now.

Hey Cylinder!

Broccoli! Do you want some broccoli?

There’s the five liter shampoo.

No, give me the one rupee sachet.

Bro, as this Sadhana has toned down...

...the entire neighborhood is dull.

Where's everyone?

Yes. The whole place looks deserted.

You seem to have feelings for that girl.

Feelings?

Never!

My eyes are always sturdy. They never get watery.

Bro that hot head is talking to the rouges.

What are they doing here?

Bro, I think they are coming for us.

Let’s check!

-Hey Sadhana. -Here!

Why are you giving them money?

Why do you care?

Because of you guys, my certificate is locked up.

I thought I will steal it with their help.

I got a job offer at another place.

1 lakh salary, certificate is a must.

If I ask them, they wont give. That’s why.

We will get the file. Send them back.

It’s because of us that you are in this trouble.

We will get it for you. Send them away.

What's Cylinder thinking?

-One minute! -Yeah.

Get out!

Get out!

-Hey Puncture. -You are taking away our client!

Hey!

I will bathe you without water and will wipe you without a towel.

Leave. We know how to take care of a girl from our area.

-Am I right, dude? -Damn it!

Area? If I slit you.

Should I hold it?

Do you know what’s kung fu?

He’s a black belt in it.

He’s showing us a circus. Let’s teach him a lesson!

Come on!

-Police! -Bro, they got scared.

-Come! -Will come later.

Why? Come now.

-Police! Police! -Who cares!

Sir...

...is sister fine?

You have become friends?

We sing the song of friendship.

Don’t let go of him. He’s a brilliant boy.

He won't spare the audio thief.

-Like you will ever do that! -Come.

There’s a spark on his face!

Till this man is with the police, there’s no problem for us.

Then take the file and burn down everything.

If my file alone goes missing, they will have their doubts.

Bro, she’s a seasoned house burner.

So you took that girl’s file and burnt down the place?

This is your file, right? Here.

Thank you.

Also don’t quit resign from the job.

Just go for a few days. Then quietly leave the job.

Did you call me?

-No. -That’s fine.

Puncture told me that you have taken great pain to get the file.

She might develop feelings for you.

Look Cylinder, basically I don’t like this nonsense.

Get lost!

Cool buddy. Take care.

A lemon juice for me.

-Bro, what did she say? -She said, "Get lost!"

Cool buddy!

No need for a complaint. We will take care of it.

I enquired about Kanyakumari.

She was in Kerala sub-jail for six years.

Then they shifted her to Kannur Jail.

Have asked for the details.

-Hello! -Sir, retired commissioner Gangadharan?

Yes.

Sir, you enquired about Kanyakumari?

-She was released four days ago. -Thank you.

Nilan, she was released four days back.

Your doubts are right. The one who came was Kanyakumari!

Did this work for you?

It won’t work for me.

She earns 70K, for her a guy who gets 90K will be the best.

For our range, we need to work hard.

Work hard?

Is it easy to steal? Do you know how much we need to work for that?

True... true! That’s our duty.

With this hard-earned money, the girl should know how to run the family.

Else it should be someone sharp who runs the business with me

Then it will be doubly okay!

I am proud to have brought you up.

Thank you buddy.

Fine, you said!

Neither love nor money was involved yet you've risked so much and burnt it down.

If your face gets captured on the CCTV?

Are we animals at the zoo to show our faces to the camera?

Who is this? Looking just like a monkey.

Sir, a person’s face is captured here.

Dad! Our MMA website is blocked.

They spoke to me from the technical department. What’s happening dad?

What’s happening?

I will take care. You go.

One person has covered his face cleverly and escaped.

If two people have come along...

then she has some major plans.

Sorry sir. I am late.

I offered prayers for the MMA to go well.

Here’s the offering.

I told them to burn the files. They have burnt the academy.

Puncture!

We should not spare her.

Nilan!

Leave it, I will handle this. You take care of MMA.

Greetings sir.

Unofficially, I need a small favor.

Why are you using such phrases? Please tell, will get it done.

I will send the photo of a lady on WhatsApp.

Yes, sir

Our men need to find her.

Definitely, sir.

Either alive or dead!

Alright sir!

Get your license!

I don’t have proper papers. If they catch me they'll fine me heavily

Please get down. Your house is close by.

Please get down. It’s just close by.

Nearby sir.

-Leave! -Okay, sir. Thanks.

Lady! Come here.

Come!

Which locality? Where’s your house?

Just close by... in Kanchipuram.

Where are going at this time?

To my relative's house.

What’s in your bag?

Just clothes.

Open your bag.

Wait, that Cylinder is calling me.

Show what’s inside.

Hello.

I told you to just burn the files. Was there another woman with you?

I didn’t take anyone with me.

-You didn’t? -Did I say that in Hindi?

Alright. Be careful.

Oh! I know how to take care of myself

I will blow it once please.

-Please, sir. -Me?

Let me do it first.

Careful don’t suck up the machine.

There's nothing, sir.

-How come you have so much cash? -It’s my cash.

-You need to meet the higher officer. -Hang up. I'll take care.

Shut up!

I felt something was fishy when I saw you.

Take everything and follow me.

Sir, the driver must not be drunk but the passengers can be.

Here sir, you're looking for this, right?

-You guys go home. I'll come later. -Aren't you coming with us?

Buy more booze while coming home.

-Sir... -What is it?

That lady has a lot of money.

She appears to be strange.

Who is that?

I asked her to follow me.

She was here. It was this lady.

-This one? -Yes!

Leave it!

You look like a respectable person.

Just give the bag and leave. It’s best for both of us.

My hand! My hand!

Let go of my hand! It won't look good if I hit you.

It’s intimidating?

You don’t know about me. Get lost. I am sparing you out of pity.

Looks like someone we know.

What Bro? Did you manage to get something.

Well, dude...

I went. I think that lady is awesome. She just gathered over a dozen people.

That’s why I just handled them and came.

Who, you?

I saw it.

I saw your style. I also saw her supremacy there.

Look, he's feeling embarrassed.

When we went to pee, we saw it.

Don’t tell this to anyone.

She might be a rowdy baby.

In our job, if we get caught we are doomed.

Aren't you ashamed to talk like this?

That lady has loads of money.

I thought I'll trap her somehow, but she got me.

-Sir... -Yes Sanjeevi.

-Sir, we saw the lady in the picture. -Okay!

But when we tried to catch her...

Just say it!

...she got hit on the head and she died.

We were about to do that.

You bring the corpse to Ennore yard. We will talk there.

Okay, sir.

If we take her there it’s of no use.

If we finish her off...

...at least we will get that money.

Let's get done with this. These guys!

Get down!

The station is close by. You need to sign.

Get down!

The police are going to do something. Take a video of it.

Give that bag!

Give it!

Zoom.

If you don’t give it...

Give it!

Hey, trying to assault the police!

Just see how viral this is going to be.

It's fake one.

This is the real one.

It's not fake. It's real.

This is Adimurai.

Mother of all martial arts.

Adimurai evolved from South of India in Tamil Nadu.

It’s the mother of all self-defense martial arts.

From Adimurai evolved Cailat, Veronkai, Puttupiruvu, Eduteri...

All these have been transformed worldwide as Silat, Karate, Judo, Akiton...

Our Muay Thai also evolved from Adimurai.

When foreigners conquered India, they banned Adimurai.

Slowly it vanished from the Indian soil.

People started to forget it.

Now when I see someone performing it with such precision,

I am taken aback.

How’s it? When you tried to catch her, she got hurt on the head and died.

-Sorry, sir. -You!

As they tried to extract money and since the video went viral...

...the commissioner asked the case to be closed as it was their fault.

Your treatment won’t work.

Adimurai will only cure it.

As the academy was hit by fire...

...they fear the safety of the players and ask us to shut down MMA.

I am going to meet the technical director in person.

By the time I am back from Bangkok...

...I should hear the news that she’s dead.

Who are you? What do you want?

This?

This one?

My son Puncture, my older son Pattas...

...that’s me, Kolusu. How’s the combo?

If I have taken something from you let me know, I will return it.

Don’t come searching for it and hit me.

Are you new to the job?

Forgive me.

It was in such a situation.

I brought him up a thief.

I thought he was dead.

You have brought him back in-front of my eyes.

I don’t know how to say...

Where is he?

-Take a big one. -Big!

-This? -Ok, bro.

Don't snatch like a monkey!

In matters of food, I am a monkey.

I didn’t deny that.

One guy has been watching me for long.

Let me check him out.

-Go! Got Kinder joy? -I don't sell those.

Then why run a shop like this?

What dear ? You’ve been watching me for long?

I want to check if you are the same monkey face?

Hey... that’s me!

The quality is so poor. Can’t you get a new phone?

He burnt the academy and look at his audacity.

Bro, they found out that we burnt down the academy.

Catch them!

-Dude, take off! -Bro, run!

Catch them!

(recorded message to recharge the phone)

There’s no signal.

They should be roaming somewhere nearby. Wait here. I will get them.

Yes it’s a good salary. They want me to join in two days.

Ms. Sumathi, you've put on weight.

Firecracker, you'll explode soon.

But looks like you'll explode first.

Did you see two guys run this way?

They went to the right!

Tell me.

How many times should I call? Why don't you answer?

Four times! What’s it?

That day I asked about that lady. You said you didn’t know her.

Now she’s in your house. What are you both plotting?

We are running for our life. They have identified Puncture's face.

If I get caught, I will definitely rope you and your father in.

Come soon. They are here.

We have been hiding for a long time.

Hello.

Sir, I saw the lady who came to kill you.

Saw her? Where?

Ennore yard, sir.

I will take care of it.

Yes, Nilan.

Ganga, I got the information that Kanyakumari is in Ennore yard.

Kill her! Kill her! Kill her!

Are you Kanyakumari?

Uncle wanted you to come to Ennore yard.

I don’t know where it is?

I can take you. Come.

You go get the car.

Uncle, drop her near Ennore yard.

Puncture, why are you inviting trouble?

-Yes, chief? -Where are you guys?

We got that guy. We are chasing him.

We found that lady. Come near Ennore yard.

That guy is just close by.

That lady is more important. Come soon.

Take the vehicle to Ennore yard.

Quick! Quick!

Bro!

That day you were boasting that it's your area girl...

Come now.

Get lost. Do you know how many of them are chasing us since morning?

-Nobody could catch us! -Hey, Pattas!

Move... move!

I was searching for you all over.

This is his father.

-Hey! Pattas. -Hey!

Show your skills dear.

I have no sentiments.

That’s for you.

My eyes never tear up.

Don’t lose focus while talking. Finish my dad.

Do a clean job. Don’t be angry dad.

Watch out!

Get lost!

-Don't leave me! -Catch them.

Look there.

Bro, she won’t leave without giving the money.

Someone is chasing there... someone is chasing here.

Let’s loot the money from her and get away from here for some time.

Our brains are the best!

Where did she go?

What uncle?

A lady came in search of me. Did you see her?

No uncle.

-Fine. -Who is she?

That’s Pattas's mother.

-Please play the radio. -Really? You want to listen to songs now?

Shut up and sit down.

Bro...

Steal it.

The next stop is yours.

You let go in the end

I don’t know why. I feel something strange when I see her.

Why are you looking at her face? Look at the money.

There’s no passion, bro.

Put your papers and leave.

Hey!

Hey, that day I was in a good mood and didn’t steal.

Today I will definitely do it. Let go of the bag.

(Sakthi)

-Wait, listen to me. -Leave it.

-Listen to me. -Leave it.

You should have that fear.

-If I see you in my area... -Wait.

One minute.

Did you nab it, bro?

Super bro!

Hold her hands!

Leave me.

Leave me!

This is our biggest sum so far, bro.

Leave me.

Bro...

-What happened? -Nothing.

On her hand my name Sakthi was tattooed. That’s why!

Are you the only Sakthi?

Stop worrying for all this, bro.

First we need to get rid of this bag...

...else they will sniff us out with a dog.

Fly away.

Three dimensional rule.

Just get him killed.

Learned to escape from the jungle.

Will break all the handcuffs to save the pride of the clan.

Will take up Adimurai to wage this war.

Will play in this arena.

This is the group that fed on bravery!

Why isn’t Ganga answering the phone?

Brother, we don’t know who he is... he’s creating a rampage here.

Who is he? Show me his face.

Will show now.

Diraveyaperumal!

What kindled inside you and make you fight is, Adimurai.

It’s the first self-defense martial art of Tamil Nadu.

It’s was in the army of the Cheran, Cholas and the Pandya kings.

From your ancestor Vellappa Mentor, came Muthaiya Mentor.

He was a master of the craft!

Even when the invaders cut his fingers...

...he taught the craft to others and spread its greatness.

One such student who surpassed the mentor...

...was your father, Diraveyaperumal!

Diraveyam lost his parents.

The dynasty and pride left behind by them was his wealth.

There’s no one here to unlock the knots of Diraveyaperumal.

If you challenge him, this is bound to happen.

The only son of Muthaiya mentor was Nilaparai.

But he was not skilled in Adimurai.

Our mentor always dreamt of him learning the craft.

Don’t you know the pulse points where one will flip and fall?

There’s a rule written for the action and reaction for each hit...

...and the subsequent reaction on each nerve, vein, and muscle!

It was written on the palm leaves 1000 years ago!

Why was it written?

Only to pass it on for the next generations to come.

Let’s see if it has reached you?

Recite the scriptures for this technique!

Speak!

(reciting the scriptures in ancient Tamil about the technique of twist)

Complete it!

They will press it with four fingers...

Diraveyum!

Yes master?

Recite the scripture.

No need Master.

I forgot, learned it long back...

Forgot! You?

Recite it!

(reciting the action and reaction to tackle the knot in ancient Tamil)

Heard it?

He knows it. He just...

Trying to protect him?

He can’t recite a word.

I will do it, if I have a competent companion.

Competent companion...

Kanya, scriptures from the craft of weaponry and mastering the skill...

...when you perform, recite the scriptures. Let our man hear it as well.

(Reciting) The pride and devotion with which one performs the skills...

Come on my man!

(Reciting) In lighting speed will the attack be...

It will split into two and one will sustain the war.

Will pounce like a tiger and capture the crown.

Did you see your friend?

He deliberately lost. Can’t you see?

Get lost!

Get lost. You heard the master!

She learned after you. You have lost to her!

Learn at least something from Diraveyam.

Leave it.

In the second part instead of parting left, you parted right...

...else your knife would have gone high!

Our master says this is only for you to excel.

How can I learn?

Only if I am skilled, can I perform.

Leave it. It’s your father.

When he insulted me before everyone when I failed in 10th grade...

...I should have stabbed him with a knife.

It’s a mistake to have spared him.

What are you talking?

Did I stab?

I am only talking in anger!

Don’t you have some decorum even when you’re angry?

Talking like a lunatic.

Yes!

I am a lunatic

You won’t understand the pain and insults of this lunatic.

If you keep answering back... what should I say?

What junior master, standing alone?

Didn’t find a partner?

Will you partner with Kanya?

What?

I asked if you will go against Kanya in a fight?

In the morning, I defeated your friend. Next in line is you.

I wanted to ask you. Do you have some sense?

At least you could have let go!

Junior master, should I let go because he’s Mentor’s son?

More important than that is the faith my mentor has in me.

I am sorry. Move aside!

Where is the powder box and nits comb going now?

We are going to find her a groom like a superhero.

Oh! Is she a dream girl?

Irrespective of what you say, I am a dream girl.

Come and see the number of men checking me out.

Where, where?

Come with us, we will show you the crowd.

I will come tomorrow.

-How are you, grandma? -I'm fine.

-Give this medicine to Angalam when he visits. - Ok.

Don't drink it, mistaking it for some juice.

-Then it'll affect your health. -Ok, dear.

See you, grandma.

What dream girl, there seems to be less powder on your face?

Did they shut down the powder company?

There’s no end to this teasing. You forgot what we discussed!

Master! Greetings.

Is she talking like a graduate?

I want to get rid of the responsibility and get her married.

She’s adamant that she doesn’t like anyone.

She’s already going for martial arts like other men.

Why? Is self-defense only for men?

Just wait! I will marry a man who is a master of Adimurai.

I will teach the craft to my child in my womb.

I will make him the master of masters!

Fine!

What did I say, I forgot!

You said you will help me find a groom.

We will get her married according to her wish.

Wherever he is, we will bring him here.

He got the right grasp and struck him well.

How’s this groom?

Rejected!

The pride of a man is his mustache. He does not have that.

I see...

You wanted a man with a moustache, right?

How’s this groom, Kanniappan?

If I get married to him, before me he will deliver a child

They brought a person in the last trimester for the game.

Rejected!

Name: Subramani!

He has a mustache and no belly.

I don’t like his name!

What’s the name that you like?

Junior mentor, can we have a sword fight?

With you?

You will put it on my neck... and it will bring me shame.

What? Remove that knife and talk.

Single sword, parting scripture.

You wanted to know the name that I like...

Diraveyum!

Since my childhood, I like you.

That's why I learnt Adimurai.

I feared the difference in our status and did not tell you.

Now I am telling you.

I like you a lot.

I also like her.

I think it’s only right that I tell you...

'There are so many desires, Don’t know how to express it!'

'It’s because of you the eyes didn’t rest. Can’t find the reason.'

'The world is ours, If you are with me.'

'The heaven will open, If I walk with you.'

'The life is sweet, When I rest on your shoulders.'

'The wings will come out, When I hold your hands.'

'There’s no need to utter a word, This is love.'

'Inseparable, you are always there in my thoughts.'

'Irreplaceable, you are always glued to my heart.'

'Don’t leave my heart, You are always in my thoughts.'

'Without a loss, Will guard you in my heart'

The feud between Master and his son exploded during the baby shower.

Why can’t you get me married?

What’s this in public?

A wife is not just to bear children. She should be for the heart and the mind.

Do you have it?

Useless fellow!

What’s all this?

Despite your father’s words he did not listen.

You are reason for all this!

He’s constantly comparing with you and humiliating me.

To get away from this humiliation, I've decided to go away from this place.

But you won't let me do that either!

'With my hands, I capture the sky.'

'When you look, I fold my hands.'

'I never call out my name.'

'There’s not a day where I have not called out your name.'

'I should cross seven lives, I should shoulder you every time.'

'Even when I age, my eyes should search for you.'

'When my life leaves the body, Your face should come in front of me.'

'Don’t leave my heart, You are always in my thoughts.'

Muthaiya mentor, Nagarkoil small town special tournament!

Mathanda Marpor competition!

What’s this?

Will you furnish copies of sports that you played on the streets?

Where’s your sports certificate?

Sir, this is Adimurai.

It’s our martial arts. It’s been in existence for over 1,000 years.

I am learning it for over 12 years.

My father was also a tutor.

The branches of this martial art form are karate, Muay Thai.

Did I ask you for the history?

-Amarnath! -Sir.

-How many years did you learn Karate for? -Three years.

In three years, he learned karate and joined the police force.

Go and drink his ****.

Like a crazy man, you learned it for 12 years!

Are you and father mad to have learned it? Useless ****.

Raising your hand on me!

Take this away!

Bringing in garbage like this.

Is there a government recognition for all this?

Sir, I was telling you because you were unaware of it.

Sir, I can perform with skill.

Sir, my mother is hoping that I will become a policeman.

-I fall at your feet. -Get lost!

Please sir.

Elango who learnt Adimurai from your father...

...committed suicide as his police dream did not materialize.

For our performers of Adimurai, it was a huge shock.

You used to always pamper him.

I told you I will get you a police uniform. Here have it!

Next time, I should see you in this uniform.

See him with all the respect and garland!

Did you buy the police uniform to see him in this state?

You gave me hope that I will get my dream job, Master.

I only received humiliation and rejection.

Several sports from other regions are recognized...

but the sport of our soil, Adimurai, is not recognized.

This should not continue!

You should take care of those dependent on Adimurai, my master.

Good morning!

Regarding the petition I gave...

I read your petition.

If the Government helps those who learned Adimurai, they will get jobs in schools.

Many families will prosper.

It has to be handled by the minister.

Sir, you promised to talk about Adimurai in the assembly.

Assuming I talk in the Assembly about this...

...the opposition party will ask what is Adimurai.

See, even I am unaware of it.

See, pertaining to this you prepare a report...

...of everyone practicing in this, some videos and some papers.

Then I will take this to the government.

To gain government recognition, we decided to do all they asked for.

For Adimurai, we built a community.

This community is not just my dream...

having learned the craft of Adimurai, and waiting for government approval.

It’s the dream of all those in pain.

We can lose our wealth and materials...

but we should not lose our identity.

We aped the western and wore pants and shirt. That’s not a mistake.

For that, we should not degrade those wearing our traditional attire.

In the name of modernity we are forgetting our traditions and customs.

If we continue this, we will have to see our traditional millets in showcase boxes.

What’s good for us, our soil knows.

Isn’t it our responsibility to preserve the pride of this soil?

And pass it on to the next generation?

To teach the world the pride of warriors, our ancestors built the Kamdalur salai.

To teach the world the pride of Adimurai, is this institution!

(instructing with the phrases of Adimurai)

Just as we were preparing for the government authorization...

...Nilaparai returned home after five years with foreigners.

Oh my! You have almost become a foreigner.

These people came with you?

Yes they have come here asking us a favor.

-Will tell you later. -Okay.

This is Catherine.

-My wife. -Greetings sister. Yes, you told me on call.

My son, Richard.

Richard, can’t you give him a Tamil name?

This is also nice. Come.

Diraveyam, this is Edward, Catherine’s brother.

Fine.

For some time I was in Madras. Father Samuel's son went to Italy to be a pastor.

I went with him and learned it there.

In five years?

Yes.

This is called kickboxing.

To explain in your parlance, it’s like wresting here.

But it’s world famous.

I am a champion in this.

Happy for you.

There’s something else within you.

Our master did not understand that.

All your companions do the same?

-Yes. -Nice.

I want to start a kickboxing school pan India.

Got permission from the government.

Then I remembered you.

Those who know Adimurai like you will learn kickboxing quickly.

If you come as tutors for the academy, we can mint money.

What do you say?

What are you thinking?

Will tell you.

What are you wondering? Come in, I'll explain.

Pinnal Nilai pose. Remember?

My favorite.

-What's that? -The doll I made.

Our pride

-Here. -No, thanks.

Coconut water. Very hot, body cool.

There are 1200 students studying under us.

This is master's favorite section.

At times, he sleeps here.

How’s our institution?

You wanted to know why I was silent in the car.

See that?

You have made my task easier.

With just some small alterations...

a ring set up there...

...a kickboxing storeroom, an office there...

...in three months this will become the main academy for India!

Can earn in crores.

Then...

I will be Number 1!

You should be the next in line, and take care of everything.

Hey. What happened? Say something.

As a friend I can give my life for you.

But...

what you’re asking for is above my life.

Hey sorry.

I just felt like asking.

Fine. I will leave.

When our place is here, where do you want to go?

I came here only to gather people for kickboxing.

I don’t think it will be appropriate.

Gather good people.

Why do you think otherwise?

Whatever suits you do it. Stay back here and do it.

I will do all that you and your partners need.

Saw this?

Van Damme!

Today, he’s the world’s greatest action hero!

How is the fight in the movie?

Super!

Do you know the name of this fight?

Kickboxing.

This is the world’s leading sport.

Just say it’s popular, don’t say it’s the best.

Is it even a sport when you shield your hands?

Our Adimurai is no way inferior.

Which one? After learning for 12 years, You all fight with hunger and poverty.

Is that what you’re talking about. Look at me.

I went out. After five years see how I have returned.

This is not just a fight. It’s a money spinner.

To sell yourself for money is not bravery.

If what you have learned is superior, can we fight one on one?

I am ready. Are you ready?

-We will never fight with **** woman. -What?

He’s using foul language with our sister.

What?

How dare you?

Muruga!

Was it a good punch?

What’s this? Getting into trouble with the host?

Look here.

If you and your companions have to leave this place alive...

...ask him to fall at his feet and apologize.

What's he saying?

He’s asking you to say sorry and leave.

I never ask sorry.

If you want, if you’re able... hit me back.

What’s he saying?

Asking you to hit if you can.

Take these gloves. You're like a leper.

It’s a broken hand, so wear a glove.

What the hell was that?

That’s the palm cut!

Can you give a befitting reply with your boxing to this!

Punching a wall is not bravery.

Show your bravery by fighting against me.

Tell us when and where!

He's there.

Tomorrow! Here!

Master, you are talking back with him?

We can talk tomorrow. Go.

Scared?

Scared! But not for me. It’s for you.

My mentor did not teach me to lose.

Come on, let's fight and prove it.

What?

-He’s saying we can fight and prove. -I understand that much.

What can I do?

If he loses...

all your Adimurai people should learn kickboxing from me.

Wait, Master is talking and you’re walking out.

If he wins...

you and your team should fall on the feet of this young boy and seek pardon.

If we lose he’s asking us to fall on his feet.

Yes! Will do.

The rules for this game.

The principles of adimurai Kailpol, Salait, Eduthari, Malla...

and Pootupurivu techniques can be used for attacking.

Under the rules of kickboxing Knee kick, front kick, rounder kick...

Front hook, back hook, spinning kick...

and all punches can be used for attacking.

Each round is for three minutes.

One minute rest will be given.

The players in the arena are considered defeated when they fall out of the arena.

My dear! Even now its not late.

If you join the foreigners and fall on the young lad's feet, it'll be humiliating.

Let’s shake hands.

You think I am the old Nilapirai.

Will you ask your guys to learn kickboxing?

Then we will shake hands.

Round 1!

Master, please sit.

Drop him out!

Drink some water.

Round 2!

'Learned to escape from the jungle.'

'Will break all the handcuffs to save the pride of the clan!'

'Will take up Adimurai to wage this war!'

'Will play in this arena!'

'This is the group that fed on bravery!'

What's that?

It’s a Pinal Nilai.

If the Adimuari warrior takes this stance...

...the opponent cannot touch the Adimurai warrior.

That’s the way!

My hand...

Leave it!

My hand.

My hand. Leave it.

My leg.

Diraveyam...

...are you lenient because he’s your friend?

When you step into the arena, the opponent is your enemy.

Your bonds should be forgotten!

The challenge is against the pride of your Mentor and...

...what you consider above your life. The art of Adimurai!

The time is not up. They rang the bell before that.

Look Master!

Why did you ring the bell earlier?

Round 3!

Hit me if you can!

Look dears...

Diraveyam asked you not to fall at the young boy’s feet.

His heart is like that.

For that, we cannot hold our celebrations of defeating the foreigners.

Let’s burst the crackers.

'Is the pride standing tall?'

"Is it exploding!'

'Is it crackling? Is your nerve wrenching!'

'Is the enemy shattered!'

'Valor is our clan!'

'To chase the tiger is our task.'

'The blend of sympathy and pride is this hardcore Tamizhman!'

'This beginning is new!'

'This history is new!'

'No mankind...'

'Has touched our achievements!'

'Even on the deathbed...'

'The spear will tear our heart!'

'The enemy’s sword has never seen our back.'

'One thousand hands will tear you down!'

'You lift your spirits high!'

'The one who tries to tear you...'

'Should bow down and give way!'

'This soil gives everything. It leads us to prosperity.'

'With its loving hands, Will embrace us!'

'Until you shield us...'

'Our soil will always be supreme!'

'Hunt the evil!'

'Show the game! The game is ready!'

'Take the whip!'

'Bring down the fort!'

'Come on!'

'Arts thrive on this soil. This is our God.'

'We listed to the art. We guarded our tradition.'

'We fancied the West. Got muddled with it.'

'Somehow we suffered with that.'

'If you lose your roots, In some other path, you will wilt.'

'If you believe in yourself, You will create a new path!'

'If you have pride, swirl your moustache. Be the hand of the great Kattaboman.'

'If you have fire within, You will be the headgear of Bharathi!'

'This soil gives everything, It leads us to prosperity!'

'With its loving hands, Will embrace us.'

'Until you shield us.'

'Our soil will always be supreme.'

'Hunt the evil!'

'Show the game, The game is ready.'

'Take the whip!'

'Bring down the fort!'

'Come on!'

'This beginning is new.'

'This history is new.'

'No mankind...'

'Has touched our achievements.'

'Even on the deathbed...'

'The spear will tear our heart.'

'The enemy’s sword has never seen our back.'

'One thousand hands will tear you down.'

'You lift your spirits high.'

'The one who tries to tear you...'

'Should bow down and give way!'

'Hunt the evil.'

'Show the game, The game is ready.'

'Take the whip!'

'Bring down the fort!'

'Come on!'

We need more space, master.

If there isn't enough space, open the weapons warehouse. They can sleep there.

Go, he’s asking you to leave.

Diraveyam...

Yes, Master.

The foreigners group has been banished.

Why is this useless fellow still hanging out here?

He has come back after a long time. I told him to stay back for a few more days.

Listen...

You have a heart of gold and asked him to stay.

As a father I know...

that he's venom.

Don’t trust too much.

Be careful.

You are simply saying something.

Don't you usually sleep here? Where are you off to, now?

I won't stay where he stays.

What is it?

What work do you have here now?

Is it necessary that you have to meet that horrible friend of yours?

When you go to see your friend, can’t I go to see mine?

That’s valid.

She’s getting married and leaving to Ceylon. I don’t know when she'll be back.

Forgive me Father.

The fault lies is with me.

What are you saying?

What I did not understand for 35 years...

I have understood it now.

Nilaparai!

I should have listened to you.

No, it’s dark.

I shouldn't be sleeping alone, I will be scared. Aren’t you worried about all this?

If you are home, then you'll fight with the ghosts and save me.

What?

What?

It’s for your good dear.

Even this happiness...

How many times I was humiliated because of you!

Those who have learned Adimurai are alert even when they sleep.

You can’t be killed through valor.

Only through venom can we kill you. Die!

Give.

I'll feel lonely without you, which is why I held your hand. How else do I put it?

Just one day, right.

Oh is it? Hands off me! Hands off me!

Is that why you're holding my hand?

What are you staring at?

Aren’t you hungry?

Well...

My stomach hurts. Eating here after a long gap, the food is not suiting me.

I will have bread.

You say the food from our soil is not suiting you!

Not bad.

Come! I will also eat bread with you.

Come. Let’s go.

I am starving. Let’s go.

Why are you sweating so much?

It’s very... sultry.

It's very sultry? Sister...

during childhood, we used to play together the whole day.

No sweating then. Now he’s sweating.

Is it?

I feel uneasy. Let me go see Master and come.

At this hour?

In the morning we are going for the feast, we will talk then.

Yes we are going.

Fine. Eat.

Morning we have training, sleep well.

-Close the door there. -Okay, master.

Come on, let's go! Go!

Come. Move fast.

Get my son.

Take her. Come.

Go. Go!

-Take care of him. -Ok. Ok.

Hey! Who locked this door from outside?

They had poisoned the food.

The children are battling for life.

Angalam?

Hey! Hey Angalam!

Angalam!

Master, look at him.

You always said, ask me whatever I have I will give it.

To avenge the humiliation I faced, give me your life.

Master told me you are a venom.

I didn’t believe it.

I just came out after killing him.

He... you... both you and your Adimurai...

will be buried in the soil forever.

Kanya!

Go away.

Go!

God!

Kill her as well!

Don't spare her son either.

Kill that boy!

Go!

-Go from here. -How did this happen?

Listen to me. Go away from here.

Just go!

I will take care.

Take the child and leave.

Sakthi...

Go to some other place!

Go. Listen to me.

I'll follow.

After I regained consciousness, I saw...

...that you were at their feet.

The institution which was built with passion was tainted as...

...one that was built without proper permissions. He said that there was...

...a short circuit that burnt the place down.

Nilaparai easily closed the case on those grounds.

My testimony that I killed Edward to safeguard you was not accepted.

The police searched the entire forest and could not find you.

My statements proved to be false.

I was sentenced to life for killing a foreigner.

I heard your mourning sound on the foothills.

I carried you from there.

For six months you could not speak.

When someone called out Sakthi, you responded.

Only then I knew your name was Sakthi.

Every day I was in jail...

...I searched out for every single information about him.

As soon as I was released, I went there to kill him.

It was there that I saw you.

I also knew about the MMA tournament that he was going to organize.

Our dreams that were shattered, I decided to revive it.

You should participate in MMA.

You should show the world what’s Adimurai.

Till then I will be your Mentor.

Hey, Pattas...

Where are you both? Can’t find you?

As mother said, winning this tournament is secondary.

Killing him and laying his head on my mother’s feet will be justice served.

Listen!

I got hold of his car.

The driver is with Puncture.

After drinking, you should eat.

I am going to pick him up at the airport.

Don’t do anything.

Nilan, the date remains the same, right?

Yes Ganga, as fixed, the MMA tournament will happen in three months.

Do you know who came?

I inquired as well. Its Diraveyum’s son, Sakthi!

I thought he was dead.

All the leftovers are after my life.

If I had left his corpse, they would have celebrated and worshipped him after death.

That’s why I burnt him to ashes.

Now because of the same form and fire, I am having trouble.

Another thing. He’s a thief!

What?

They have seen him nab the bag from that lady.

Diraveyum’s son is a thief?

It’s delightful to hear this.

Unnecessarily I killed my father.

Had he been alive now...

I would have asked him to look at the state of Diraveyum’s son.

If I die this second, I will die with joy.

Who are you?

What are you up to? Where are you abducting me to?

Stop the car! Stop it! You idiot!

Who are you?

Have you seen me somewhere?

I came with the rage to kill you here.

Only after you spoke I realized...

...what a big mistake I was about to make.

What my mother said was right.

I will participate in the tournament that you are going to conduct...

I will win the tournament.

It’s not a matter of pride to just add the father’s name as the last name...

...one should live up to that name.

I will live up to it.

My name is...

Sakthi!

Sakthi Diraveyaperumal!

'Come here to defeat me.'

'I am coming alone, come and face me.'

'Come here to defeat me.'

'I am coming alone, come and face me.'

'I am filled with rage!'

The technical head of MMA is the overall deciding authority.

We are sending Sakthi’s application to him.

These are remains from what was burnt down in our institution.

Can you do the triangular sutra that you performed that day?

It’s momentary. It won’t come just like that.

Even the mythological Abimanyu learnt charkayug partially in his mother’s womb.

We have taught you that completely.

You should start with the primary step, advance...

further, reach the zenith and then stand firm!

Master!

In the MMA tournament that we are going to conduct, representing Adimurai...

Sakthi Diraviyaperumal will be taking part. Do the necessary formalities.

It is a sign of respect from me towards Adimurai.

Okay, Master.

It’s my pleasure.

I was wondering how will he enter.

Someone is helping him!

Let him come. If we finish him outside, it’s a murder.

If we finish him within the cage, it’s a sport.

Mettalian!

He’s Mettalian.

He was arrested on charges of drugs and is in Bangkok jail.

He has asked us to get him on bail.

So far, he has killed six opponents in the cage.

Nilan's plan is to finish off Sakthi.

You found a job for one lakh a month.

Why don’t you leave?

The job that you do for the ones you like is not equal to money.

Ones you like?

What's with that stare, Cylinder?

Rain's pouring down!

So you won't take a bath tomorrow!

Even in those times I was.

His mother is coming.

Stay still!

Hand movement.

Jump!

Mother...

Take a step back.

Be alert. You can do all this later.

Stop it now.

She’s in no mood for all this.

His techniques are fairly fine.

He does not have the fire of his father.

I don’t know his techniques.

I can’t even remember in my dreams.

How can I match his skills?

You can!

'Leader! Leader! Leader!'

'As the head hails high, The nerves split in rage.'

'As it enters the arena, It manifests manifolds to valor.'

'In the presence of yore...'

'The evil will banish!'

'As you enter all alone... The time is right for you to begin your innings.'

'The wicked foxes who tease you.'

'Should be burnt to ashes with the fire from your forehead.'

'The stage is waiting to see who will lose.'

'The wounds will transform you to be a winner.'

'To fall and rise is the nature of a warrior!'

'There’s no end in a war.'

'The stage is waiting to see who will lose.'

'The wounds will transform you to be a winner.'

'To fall and rise is the nature of a warrior.'

'There’s no end in a war!'

In two weeks we have MMA match on behalf of Nilan academy.

You should all spread it to the masses.

'Come here to fight me!'

'I am coming all alone. Come here!'

'I am burning in rage. Come now!'

'Come here to fight me!'

'I am coming all alone. Come here!'

'I am burning in rage. Come now!'

To fight him for the first time, Adimurai martial arts fighter...

Sakthi Diruveyaperumal

I thought you will die in prison, I thought you won’t come.

For the sword placed on my neck, I still have scores to settle Kanya.

Your son’s death will avenge that.

Nilaparai, treating Diraveyum as your enemy is your fault.

Not considering Sakthi as your enemy is an even bigger mistake.

Has your son fought in about 100 MMA matches?

Don’t pin hopes!

Having tried for many years, I could not master Adimurai.

Will he learn it in three months?

Adimurai is not just an art that you learn...

...it’s his blood!

Come on Sakthi.

How bro?

It’s our Adimurai, won’t we know.

We will win.

-Which place are you from? -Keezhadi.

Play as you like.

Break him down!

Sakthi...

Apply the technique and come to the lion form.

Sakthi!

Come out. The game is over.

Adimurai!

Cheer him up! Come on!

In the meantime, during the chaos Mettalian attacked him with an iron rod.

Its still unclear if he can compete in the next round or not.

Only after the medical certification will it be clear.

He has to take at least a week’s rest.

He can’t play the next match.

Doctor, he has to play the next match.

With just his left hand, how can he play the match?

Look! For our F2F committee, we have certain norms.

I can’t give a fitness certificate.

As a foster partner I am fretting. How can you be like this?

I accidentally brought them up as thieves.

Till date the police has not hit them...

I always shield them.

I took such care of them.

You want to send him to fight with a broken hand!

He will play the next match.

The emotions are running high!

Give him the certificate.

Let him come and play.

Puncture, that Mettalian who broke my son’s hand, I will...

Does that broken hand hurt?

Does it hurt a lot?

For onlookers like us it hurts. Won’t it pain for him?

Correct.

Just have a peg and sleep.

You will wake up brisk and see how you spin in the morning.

Wait dear, pour it.

I am having.

Not for you, for him.

Mentor.

That old man with the beard?

Looking at him, I can say with a pinch of pickle, he can have a full bottle.

Just treat is as a medicine and have it.

When you were a kid, I used to give this...

I was making him practice.

You call your mother as Mentor.

What fault did our Pattas commit that she’s hanging training him so harshly.

You drunkard. We are hanging upside down.

What?

Oh my.

My liquor will now flow through my nose.

Yes this is ambidextrous.

He has the same power in his left hand as his right hand.

It shows the same power on both hands for you.

Sakthi has advanced to the semi-finals.

He will face...

...undefeated champion, Richard Nilan!

Richard wait for the right time to hit continuously on his right hand...

...and punch his collar!

This is to be our game plan.

Rapid punch?

It’s unethical!

Sorry dad. Its against the sport.

The man who killed our academy guys, Mettalin...

...it’s a huge mistake that you brought him back.

Now you are asking me to make the same mistake.

You can defeat him right?

Go, do that!

Tell me Sadhana.

Through Richard, Nilan has planned to hit you on the neck...

...using rabbit punch and kill you right there in the cage.

And one more thing.

Tell me!

Hello!

I can’t hear properly.

Hello!

Sakthi, it’s time for the match.

Ask her what it is?

Bro...

They hit Sadhana and broke her face.

Just a minute!

Hey, what happened?

He found out.

He has asked his son to use unethical ways to hit you.

Watch out!

All the best.

Former champion Richard Nilan has given a walk over.

So, Sakthi Diraveyaperumall goes to the finals.

Sakthi, don’t lose your composure in anger.

Let the final match get over. We will see.

What Kanya? Are you scared something will happen to your son?

What dear? Hiding behind someone's back is called Adimurai?

Is this what your mother taught you?

I would have let him if he wasn't in anger.

He is after your life!

Get lost!

Who?

He?

Will he kill me?

Come, hit me.

Hit me!

Can we have an agreement fight?

Right here?

Even if you walk away now, tomorrow you will be disqualified.

I will say that you threatened my son...

...and got a walk over.

He won’t be alive to testify that it’s false.

For pride, I have killed my father.

Is it your father’s blood in your body? I am doubtful of that.

Sakthi, today your fight is not inside.

It’s outside!

'If you stare at me, I will burn you down.'

'If you think of touching me, I will break you to pieces!'

'Are you ready to face me alone? I am ready to come alone!'

'Inform your near and dear ones!'

(Crowd shouting Sakthi's name)

My hand!

It’s my father’s blood.

Get lost.

There is no link between the agreement fight and the MMA match.

Sakthi Diraveyaperumal can fight in the finals.

Me participating in this game, is beyond winning and losing.

There’s something more important behind this.

Usually...

...it's parents who fulfill their child’s dream.

I stand here as a privileged son who got to fulfill his parents' dream.

My father’s name if Diraveyaperumall.

He sacrificed his life...

...to promote and preserve our traditional practice of Adimurai.

His dream was to spread this Adimurai to the masses.

Now my mother’s dream is also the same.

Beside Adimurai...

we should not forget the pride, culture and purity of this soil...

in the name of being civilized.

We should ensure that the next generation is well aware of this.

That's all. Thanks.

My mom is my mentor. Big thanks to her!

Stop talking about my dream. What is your dream?

Now there’s a person called Bruce lee...

...who promoted his country's sport Kung fu, by acting in a few movies and...

...spread it in the world.

What a big achievement!

Like him, if not to the whole world...

...at least the people of Tamil Nadu should know about Adimurai.

That will give me happiness.

That's my dream.

Adimurai, the Tamil martial art...

is being considered to be recognized as a sport by the Tamil Nadu sports ministry.
