All language subtitles for kathi

We searched for him for four years and finally
arrested him just two days back.

But he has escaped from
jail now.

He managed to get past
tight security.

If people get to know this,
it will be a disgrace.

How do we catch him?

Don't get me wrong,
I have an idea

There is a convict in this jail.

He has escaped from
jail 18 times.

You want to use me to catch
hold of this guy.

How long has it been since
he escaped?

Twenty minutes.

Leave

How do I leave without
striking a deal?

What?

Yes!

If I catch him, will I get a fan in my
cell and a paid-for mobile phone?

Are you kidding?

Why should I work for free when
you are getting paid for the job?

We'll discuss this later

Twenty kilometres

You can catch him only if
I leave right away.

All right!

I want the blueprint of
the jail.

Which is Vivek Banerjee's cell?

I am going to visualise his escape route
and get out of here. Follow me.

Come on! Hurry!

This tunnel turns east
outside the jail.

Some of you take the jeep
and come there.

Hurry up. Fast.

Aim for the leg.

No one should know we caught
him with his help.

Where is he?

Where did he go?

He escaped!

Make an entry in jail records saying Kathiresan killed
three policemen and escaped.

‘Astrological forecast
for today...'

‘Your sign says a dormant problem
will raise its head again.'

‘Your words spell trouble
for you.'

‘Danger dances its way
to you.'

You are not meant to be
released now.

I got myself released.

Is this what they call
‘own release'?

How did you know I
was here?

I called Marimuthu in
the Vellore jail.

He told me you were
released a month back.

Where are the pants from jail?

I left it behind in the train.

You've made it easy for
the police to find you.

God! Railway stations
have cameras.

You didn't take an auto
from there, did you?

I took it right outside
the station.

Why didn't you go to the police station
and give them your address?

That's wrong.
You'll get caught.

I don't have any money

He's found it!

Buy a toothbrush, toothpaste
and some soap. Buy small packs.

I am going to Bangkok
tomorrow morning.

What about the passport?

You have to make arrangements
for a fake passport.

I've sold everything I stole last month
to get you this passport

When you reach Bangkok

I won't ever forget you

I am asking you to forget
me.

Don't come back to India.

Fill these forms.

The form has ‘sex' written
on it?

They only want to know
the gender.

Don't you have to say
‘girl'?

He has chosen ‘male'.
We need to be careful with him.

Who is that disturbing
me?

What happened?

The girl took the pen.

I want to date her.

You're here in India only
for the next 30 minutes!

Why do you want a love
interest?

I don't have change.

I'll give it to you.

It's my purse.

Please take it.

He's a bad boy.
Don't talk to him.

Excuse me,
do you want change?

You're going to use the toilet,
do you want a coin?

It's free here.

What is a local guy doing
at an international airport!

Someone's been staring
at you.

Wait. Let me take care of that.

She's coming.

Did you rob a chain from
her?

No.
-
Shall we run?

I want to talk to you
in private.

Didn't you hear that?
Go!

My name is Ankita.
I was in love with someone two years ago.

He was killed.

Oh, my god!!

But, he's here now.

Look there.

You said he was killed.

Where?

Look there.

I can't see anything.

Look at the mirror.

A fly ?

Yes. He has taken birth
as a fly now.

Yes. I saw him follow you
to the toilet.

No. That was a real fly.
He was waiting outside.

He has taken revenge on everyone
involved in his killing.

But he says I should
marry you.

I don't know what
to do.

You're going abroad.

I am going home after I
see off my uncle's family.

We'll meet when you
come back.

That'll be the end of him!

Has she asked you to be in touch
through 'WhatsApp'?

Why are you tearing
the ticket?

I bought it with stolen money.

What has happened to you?

"Girl, look at me!

"Come closer!

"Is one kiss good enough?"

"Or do you want a million?"

"Tell me what you want, darling!"

"My heart is throbbing!"

"To think about you, to hold your hands,
my heart yearns I swear!"

"I am going crazy!

"You are the world to me."

"Should I go around you
like the moon?"

"I want to hug you tight.
A kiss and you'll feel liberated!"

"Like the never ending horizon,
I want to love you forever too."

"I want to kiss you, and allow you to feel shy

"Seeing you once will do
I'll take a thousand
rebirths to be with you again."

"Don't ignore me, my heart
can't take it."

"I'll treasure you and cherish
you dearly."

"Come closer and kiss me."

"Come closer and kiss me"

"Girl, look into my eyes!"

"Do you see a thousand
moons there?"

"One glance from you and a thousand
moons become a million."

"Let go of the past

"I see you in my dreams
forever."

"Desires give unbound joy.

"A smile on your face!

"The face is the index of the mind.

"When you look at me I'm
struck by desires."

"And when I look at you again,
love makes my heart blossom!"

"I forget this world I live in!"

"It looks anew because of you!"

"Why did this happen?

"Why did you smile now?"

"You've captured my heart!

"Heart, oh, heart
I lost myself in search of a girl!"

"Heart, oh, heart
love melts me!"

"Heart, oh, heart
I lost myself in search of a girl!"

"Heart, oh, heart
love melts me!"

"Come closer and kiss me."

"Heart, oh, heart
I lost myself in search of a girl!"

"Heart, oh, heart
love melts me!"

She'll be shocked to learn
I didn't go to Bangkok.

Welcome to Chennai City Corporation.

Isn't this Ankita's number?

This is Chennai Corporation's
section for neutering dogs.

Call us if you have a dog
menace in your area.

We catch them, neuter
them and let them go.

Do you have a dog
problem in your area?

Do you know how much
a ticket to Bangkok costs?

Have you ever picked a pocket?

Have you ever stayed
awake to break a lock?

You will know the value of money only
when you try snatching women's chains.

I am sorry, madam.

You missed a flight for
a wrong number!

Hurry!

He looks just like you!

What is this?

The bullet is lodged on
the right.

We can save him if we get him
to a hospital in an hour.

You handle this.

If they see us together,
they'll be confused.

They've removed three bullets but
he has lost a lot of blood.

What's this?

His belongings

They've informed the police because
he was shot at.

They'll be here.

You shouldn't be here.
Let's leave.

Tell me.

When?

What happened?

The Kolkata police have come to
my pad looking for me.

They've filed a case charging you for killing three
policemen while escaping from jail.

They've got my number. They'll trace
my mobile and come here anytime.

Let's leave.

The Kolkata police on one side
and the local police on the other.

What?

Give that to me.

That's his.

What are you doing?

Did you give the name of the
patient during admission?

No.
We don't know
who he is.

Write my name-- Kathiresan--
as the name of the patient.

Keep this next to him.

The Kolkata police will think
he is me and take him to jail.

This is cheating.

The policemen in jail will quickly
find out he's not me.

That much time will do.

I will go to Bangkok
by then.

Let's go.

When he becomes conscious,
he'll be in Kolkata jail.

Why is he walking
towards us like that?

What we should do is

The Collector is calling the
two of you.

We have to hand out 250 ration
cards on the 2nd.

I will meet the officers
personally.

Turn left. You know the
way, don't you?

I've spoken to the Home
Secretary.

I've arranged for a demand draft
of Rs.25 lakh (2.5 million) for you.

I wanted to give it to you tomorrow,
but as I've seen you now,

I'll give it to you.

If you give it to us,
we'll get going.

A cheque is difficult to encash,
a demand draft is easy.

We'll split the amount.

If you can take us to the bank,
we can take this!

This seems to be an old
people's home.

Stop!

The Collector is here again.

How many times do we
have to tell you?

Jeeva is here.

Son, come.

Where were you last night?

He looks different.

Forgive us.

We were anxious because
we had not seen Jeeva.

We were worried for
your life.

You've brought him here safely.

I didn't bring him.
That young man did.

I met him on the way.

Thank you very much.

I am glad you're not angry
with me any more.

I've given Jeeva the demand draft
of Rs. 25 lakh meant for you.

We've told you several times.
We don't want this money.

We begged you.
You didn't listen.

Here's your money.

I'll take leave.

Jeeva come with me.

What do I do?

That was the situation then.

Try convincing them.

I'll come here next week.

I'll come back with a demand
draft for the same amount.

Hand it to me without their knowledge.
I'll convince them.

That sounds good.

Cash will be fine too.

The government does not
handle cash.

You're a very good man,
Mr. Collector.

I'll leave now.

We'll stay here till we get
the money.

There has been a mistake.

Jeevanandam is still alive.

You said five men shot him.

Didn't they get the shot
right?

I don't know
But there are no bullets on his body.

No bullets on his body!!

I'll deal with it myself.

We'll leave after we collect
the goodies to eat.

Why are they worshipping
human beings?

It's their death anniversary
today.

All six of them on the
same day ?

They were all

Let's get done with the
ceremony.

The women and children at the village
are waiting to eat.

We have to let them know once
the ceremony is over.

How did six of them die
on the same day?

They committed suicide
together.

Why?

To save Jeevanandam's life

Six of them died to save
one person's life?

Yes

Jeevanandam is in-charge
of this home.

Those 10 men are
from Jeevanandam's hometown.

The rest of us are from
other places.

This is not a safe place.

Six of them have committed
suicide to protect his life.

You have sent him to jail and
have taken his place.

If they get to know this

It's just one more week.

We'll take the demand draft for
Rs. 25 lakh and get going.

This is a safe place to be in
till I head to Bangkok.

Is this a safe place?

The first time you saw him,
he had five people shooting at him.

How can his place be safe
for you?

You are right.

Let's leave tomorrow
morning.

That's a good boy.

It's my job to send you to
Bangkok in two days.

You'll have a bright future
after that.

This place looks haunted even during
the day what about the night?

Ghost!!

Kishorilal is serious.

But he seemed happy this
morning.

He is gasping for breath.
Hurry up.

I wish this was a girl's
hostel.

Someone get a vehicle
organised.

Hurry, let's go to the
hospital.

The doctor is on his way.

Did anyone call his house?

We called his residence,
no one is answering.

Did you try the cell phone?

No one is answering that either.

I've left a message.

Someone go over and ask him
to answer the phone.

As per the rules here,
when an old person is sick,

we must either inform
their home or the police.

Don't call the police.

Let's wait.

Don't worry.
It will be all right.

I need to see my children.

That is what they are
trying to do for you.

No one is answering
the phone.

Take deep breaths.

Someone from his family
is here.

Who is that?

How did he treat a
heart-attack eating a bun!

It's a miracle.

It's itching.
Can you scratch me?

Don't you have your own
hands?

These hands have touched
her cheeks.

One man has fun while the other
is left to do the dirty job.

Change course now.

I conned you without realising
you were in-charge of this home.

Can you help me?

Yes, tell me.

You have to slap my ward
councillor.

Are you kidding?

How can I slap a stranger?

That's not possible.

All right I'll leave

Wait

Why did you ask me that?

Asked you what?

Why did you ask me to
slap someone?

The ward councillor slapped
me in the morning.

You slapped me at night.

But your blow was stronger.

It hurt when you slapped
me.

I feel you will be able to
slap him.

Why did he slap you?

We have a mosquito problem in our area.
I complained about it.

We had an argument and
he slapped me.

I'll come.

But how do I come over?

I'll pick you up.

I have a two-wheeler.

I'll freshen up and be back.

Shall we leave?

I've taken a few of
Jeevanandam's clothes.

I am not coming,
you go ahead.

Yesterday we'd decided
we'll leave this place.

That was yesterday.

I am talking about today.

I'll freshen up and
be back.

I forgot. I need to go out.

You stay back here.

The old man at number
nine has a skin problem.

Apply some ointment on
the area.

The old man at number 11 has piles,
take care of that.

And the one at number three

Do you want me to kill him?

That's a joke! Remind me to
laugh when I am back.

How's my grandfather
now?

How does it matter to us?

What?

Just one slap and she has
fallen in line

"Girl, your glance makes me
drift like a feather in the wind."

"I was like a sprawling tree in the forest.
I now melt like a lit candle."

"In a moment, you weave a rainbow
out of wild grass."

"The next moment, you soften
a hard rock into wet sand."

"No beauty queen is as
beautiful as you."

"Come closer let's get to
know each other."

"My heart has lost itself in your beauty.
It indulges, pleads, fades and melts."

"For my journey to meet your path,
the walk is long, daunting..."

"...challenging, shattering
and restless."

"You look like a figurine of a
goddess treading the earth. "

"Like a particle of dust that's
fallen into the eye, you've filled my life."

"Like a fusion of colours,
you've walked into my life."

"My heart shatters like a glass
pelted with stone."

"You look more beautiful
than an angel."

"You spread a heady fragrance
with your glance."

"No beauty queen is as beautiful as you.
Come closer "

"let's get to know each other. "

"Girl, your glance makes me
drift like a feather in the wind."

"I was like a sprawling tree in the forest.
I now melt like a lit candle."

"My heart has lost itself in your beauty.
It indulges, pleads, fades and melts."

"For my journey to meet your path,
the walk is long, daunting..."

"...challenging, shattering
and restless."

Why have I been arrested?

There has been a mistake.

This is not Kathiresan.

It will all go a waste if
I don't leave now.

There has been some
confusion.

Detain him in a separate
prison.

Don't allow him to speak
to anyone.

Who are these people?

They look like reporters.

You shouldn't be doing
this.

What will they think of
our country?

Move aside.

I see knives around...

What did you do to them?

What is it?

I didn't do anything.

They were the ones who
tried to kill me.

Again?

Hey, brother! Jeeva,
how are you?

It's been a long time.
Are you all right?

You are sporting a new look!

You look different.

You're looking very stylish!

Let's talk as we take a stroll.

You look as if you're seeing
me for the first time.

Let's take a leisurely walk.

Bro, don't be so stubborn.
Come along.

Bro, shall we go?

I've been patient for three years.

But, I can't be anymore.

You know this place.

That's my men on the job.

Knife!

Do you see where the
knife is?

Do you see where it is?

I'll slit their throats.

Everyone's throat

Want to see it?

One minute

What do you want?

This is the first time Jeevanandam
is asking me about what I want.

Signatures from 10
people

And you've to tell the lawyer
that you'll withdraw the case.

I'll give you Rs. 25 crore (250 million)
to leave the country.

Twenty five crores ?

Indian Rupees

When will I get the money?

I'll get the documents ready.
You'll get it as soon as you sign them.

I'll sign it and withdraw
the case.

Here's Rs. 5 crore.

After you withdraw the case,
you'll get the balance.

Don't send your goons
in future

And don't even try using old
people to threaten me.

Because if you harm even one person,
no one can stop you from getting killed!

Watch it!

Goodbye

This is Jeevanandam.

We've got all the items in
your list except two.

What is it?
What happened?

Isn't it very warm?

Is that real money?

How did you get so much
money?

They took you at gunpoint and have
sent you back with loads of money.

What did you do?

Only now am I going to
do something.

Just four signatures and
a withdrawal of the case

This is just an advance
payment.

Once the job is done,
I'll get Rs. 20 crore.

If they're paying such a huge amount,
the issue must be bigger.

They are innocent.

Let's scoot with the
advance amount.

I'm not a cheat like you.

Did you get arrested the last 24 times for
taking part in the freedom struggle?

Ok. Let it be.

I'm planning to give the elders Rs.10 lakh
each and send them back to their hometown.

Why should we get into
this unnecessarily?

We're waiting for you.
Come soon.

Why?

The Lions Club is honouring you
with an award today.

I don't need awards.
You can collect it on my behalf.

They would like to hand over the
reward cheque of Rs. 4 lakh only to you.

An award with a cash
reward, how sweet!

We could use the money
to tip people at Bangkok.

I'm coming.

Why is my photo so small?

It's not your photo.
It doesn't matter.

You're right. Let it be.

Hello!

Greetings to all!

We have a presentation for the benefit of the
few who may not know about Mr. Jeevanandam.

‘Thanoothu' is a small village in
Tirunelveli district, South India.

The area has turned arid and
not suitable for cultivation.

Thirty seven year old,
Jeevanandam comes from this village.

He's a post graduate in hydrology.

I'm Sadayan. I don't belong to
Thanoothu but married a girl from there.

I first met Jeevanandam at a
village council meeting.

Your village may have a diktat
about not selling agricultural land.

But we're married to the
women in this village.

We have the right to sell land that
we have acquired through marriage.

But, our wives are objecting to this.

Big corporate companies have destroyed
villages nearby.

Since we won't sell our agricultural land,
they've instigated you.

Twenty years ago this was
fertile land.

That's why the village is called
‘Thanoothu' (spring of water)

There is a huge, hidden source
of groundwater here.

I'm a hydrologist and if only I can find
this source of water...

Tirunelveli and Thoothukudi districts will get their
agricultural water from our village.

You've been saying this for
the last six months.

Don't be hasty.

I'm Jeevanandam's professor
and they're his college mates.

Give that to me.

This is a satellite image of
your village.

These white patches
indicate water.

This is why the corporate wants
to zero in our village.

What if there is no water and
the corporate leaves?

Who'll buy this land?

If you can give me some more time,
I'll find the water-body.

We'll be generous and give
you 15 days.

Let our wives stay back
here until then.

Either find the water or let them
come back with consent to sell the land.

Listen to us.

Please don't leave the
children.

With no water, the lands
are parched.

They are paying a good price
for the land and these people

Let's see.

That's enough, mother.

Pour it into this.

Wait, don't be in a hurry.

The dry ginger has to boil
well. Wait, I'll pour it.

Please move it a little.

Give this to your brother.

Brother, here's the concoction.

Keep it there.

Brother, what is the
meaning of communism?

Can you explain it in a
sentence?

The extra slice of bread you eat after your
hunger is satisfied, belongs to another man.

Come here.

What is it?

Listen to this.

The sound of water

Can you hear it?

Can I listen too?

I'll connect it to the speaker.
Let everyone hear it.

Can you hear the sound?

Yes, I can hear it.

Wonderful, we can hear
the sound of water.

We have to find its course.

Whose land is this?

See the map.

It's Marimuthu's land.

Somebody is chasing
Marimuthu.

Whose land is this?

This is Kamardhin Bhai's land.

Whose land is this?

It's Shanmugakani's land.

Whose land is this?

It's Pachaiappan's land.

Brother, someone has
stabbed Marimuthu.

There is a crowd around our land.
There are many vehicles too.

Stop, what are you doing?

Who are you?

This is our land.

Tell them to stop work.

These lands have been registered
three months back.

Three months back?

Here's a copy. Keep it.

Your professor and the
other two are their allies.

They've betrayed us.

Mother

They've cheated us.

They've destroyed our
livelihood.

We're here for you.

What's the commotion about?

We are farmers from Thanoothu village.

We are here to see the Collector.

I know.

What's so special about the village
that you refuse to sell your land?

It's agricultural land that
belongs to us.

Who are you?

Are you a real-estate agent?

Are you trying to push up
land rates?

No, sir

Our land has an untapped
water source.

If we locate that, two whole districts
will get water for irrigation.

I will get you thrice the
price.

I need a 10 percent
commission.

What do you say?

You're the one playing
a real-estate agent.

How dare you?

I'll finish you.

Is that your land?

Are those dead people
related to you?

Are their wives related
to you?

I am their brother.

How is it possible to have sisters
from different castes and religions?

Did the grandparents do
something amiss?

Children have gone hungry because their land
has not been cultivated for the last eight years.

Please don't mock us.

I don't want anyone here.
Leave!

Ask everyone to leave.

No, sir
We have to see the Collector.

Details of the inked thumbs have to
be recorded in the post-mortem report.

We have to arrest the men working
for the multinational company.

How dare you order me
around!

Don't listen to him.

I will ask them to give you a good
price for your land.

You can do nothing against the
multinational company.

Let me know by today,
else

Jeevanandam will die in
police custody.

The police have taken
Jeeva away.

Wait

I heard about everything.

I have an important
meeting to attend.

Sign a petition and hand it
over to me. I'll look into it.

Jeevanandam had discovered a
water source in Thanoothu.

When a cola giant got to know of this, they
zeroed in on Thanoothu to open their factory.

The villagers protested. Jeevanandam's arrest
in this context has caused a furore.

This is Senthil Kumaran
reporting for CTN News.

Turn it off.

Wait to see what happens after this is
aired in the afternoon bulletin.

In that while,
make a call to other newspapers.

We're calling from
Thanoothu village

Is there a riot?

There's no riot. But, the police
have arrested Jeevanandam.

Ok, we'll send a reporter
tomorrow morning.

Tomorrow morning?

Give us juicy stories about
your village...

... like a husband eloping with his sister-in-law
or wife killing a husband.

If Jeevanandam gets killed in police custody,
make sure you call us first.

What happened?

Have you given the story
to the TV channel?

I did. It'll be telecast on Thursday night
as ‘District News'.

That's three more days.

Three more days ?

Can we go and see my
son?

Even if I die, don't quit
farming.

Don't ever quit farming.

We've to save our lands and
save Jeeva as well.

The only way to do that is to let the entire country
know about the injustice happening here.

If we have to bring everyone
from the media into this village,

... the only thing us farmers
can resort to is

Those six farmers decided to get media
attention by committing ‘mass suicide'.

I'm the Tirunelveli district reporter for
a private television channel.

My name is Senthil Kumaran
and I recorded this.

They led me to the factory
site that night.

Don't do this. Let's think
about doing something else.

I beg of you.

Don't do it.

While we could bring our grains to your plate,
we were unable to bring our problems to you.

Suicide is against my faith.

But my religion also demands
we meet the needs of the hungry.

Keeping this in mind I have
decided to give up my life.

We shouldn't allow this
factory to come up.

Our Jeevanandam should
be released.

We are mixing our blood
in this water.

If this factory does come up, what you'll drink will
not be a beverage, but the blood of a poor farmer.

‘The Madras High Court has given an interim
injunction order to stop the preliminary factory work

An enquiry commission headed by Justice
Lakshmikumar has been constituted...

...and based on his report,
judgment will be given.'

The villagers by
consensus decided that...

To fund that, the men in the
village decided to work...

... as labourers across
the world.

The women took a vow not to leave the village till
the men returned from fighting this cause.

Jeevanandam along with the 10 old people took
refuge at an old people's home.

Three years have passed.

Those farmers are working as labourers
in various places.

They're going to share their feelings
with Jeevanandam.

Brother, how are you?

I am at Hyderabad working as
a cleaner in the railway station.

Please win the case.
I am waiting to get back to farming.

Brother, it's me
Shanmugam

I work at a liquor store
here.

Are you doing well?

We're not respected here.

They treat us like dogs.

I want to meet everyone
back home.

It's me, Selvarasu.

I work here.

I can't do this anymore.

Please win the case.

I want to return home to
work in the fields.

We now present a cheque for Rs. 4 lakh
to Jeevanandam

This is not a contribution
from us.

It's money earned by the villagers
to fund the case.

We're presenting this on
behalf of them.

I invite Jeevanandam
to the dais.

Put your hands together to
show your appreciation.

This has Rs. 2,400 as coins.

They've requested us to
give it to you as it is.

You wait in the auto
rickshaw.

I'll return the money and
be back.

What happened?

I'm ashamed.
I shouldn't be here any longer.

I have to go back to prison
and he has to come out.

Drop me off and leave.

What happened?

Nothing.

What happened?

Since you didn't sign the
documents..

...the corporate company sent goons to
beat up the old men at the home.

Cowards!
They are still there.

Did they hit them?

Yes.

Turn back.

They've thrashed everyone.

Bear with it for a while.

Come

Did you call for the doctor?

They broke my hand.

Did you call for the
ambulance?

They didn't allow us to.

I can't bear the pain.

Grandfather, let's go.

Keep the suitcase inside.

Keep the suitcase inside.

From this moment,
I'm Jeevanandam.

Let him remain in prison till
the case is over.

Heard you thrashed my
men.

Thanoothu village is mine.

Your village will serve as a toilet to
my factory workers.

If you fear for your life,
run away.

Else, I'll cut you into pieces.

I am reading an article about
a bottling plant.

In Vellore district, an international soft drink company
draws five lakh litres of water from River Palar.

Looks like you will become an
expert before the case is over!

I need to speak to you
in private.

All right, I'll leave.

No, I need to speak to the
two of you in private.

Tell us

I don't know how to
say this

This must be the first time love is
professed in the midst of three people.

And this is the first time I've heard
'I love him' and a 'Thanks' as reply.

Why do you need me?

Just for company

Now that you've told him,
I'll leave.

Come on, stay.

And I love her too

It was love at first sight.

It wasn't love at first sight
for me.

But, seeing an entire village
shed tears for you

And seeing the hardship
you faced for them

I decided I will marry you

So, that's how it works!!

'I love him' is right.

It's not you.

What is he saying?

He turns crazy when
he's very happy.

Yes

I need to take you to
a place

Let's go

"There's several terabytes
of love around "

"When you bite bit by
bit, I go crazy."

"There's several terabytes
of love around "

"When you bite bit by
bit, I go crazy."

"Let's live at ‘Instagram' "

"And shoot and share every
moment of our life."

"When we are together, it is
rock and roll."

"We'll get a record number of likes
and shares on ‘Facebook'."

"Let's take a selfie, girl!

"Your face needs no ‘Photoshop'
edit nor enhance filters "

"My heart skips a beat
when I see your face "

"There is neither folk music
nor dance beats."

"But my legs break into a dance
at the sight of you."

"There is no need for an
ice-lolly or a sweetmeat."

"Just uttering your name
tastes sweet "

"Even when I take a dip in
the waters, your thought kindles fire in me."

"A hungry finger eagerly pinches
you to sate its hunger."

"Starving lips cry for attention."

"I want to click a picture,
kiss me "

"Let's take a selfie, girl!

"Let's profess love in
the morning."

"Tie the knot in the
afternoon."

"Leave on a honeymoon
that very evening."

"Are you game for that?"

"I am as good as chocolate "

"Am as fast as a rocket ."

"Shall we camp in the moon?"

"Are you ready?"

"Let's rent a rocket and speed
up to Jupiter which has 63 moons."

"We don't need the moon."

"Won't your eyes do?

"There's several terabytes
of love around "

"When you bite bit by
bit, I go crazy."

"There's several terabytes
of love around "

"When you bite bit by
bit, I go crazy."

"Let's live at ‘Instagram' "

"And shoot and share every
moment of our life."

"When we are together, it is
rock and roll."

"We'll get a record number of likes
and shares on ‘Facebook'."

"Let's take a selfie, girl!

I don't want any noise.

You have just three
minutes.

Who are you?

The jailor told me you are
not him.

How did you come here?

I met with an accident
a few days back.

The person who saved me
looked just like me.

I need to kill him.

I'll send people over.

Tell me where you are from.

No.

If you kill him, I'll lose the only evidence
I have to say I am not him.

I'll have to be in jail all
my life.

I'll help you escape.

I cannot get out with my
leg like this.

I'll send two of my men
with you.

Go back to your place
and identify him for my men.

It's easy to prove yourself
when you are out.

They'll announce the verdict for the
Thanoothu case on the 15th.

I didn't expect Jeevanandam to
return the money.

I didn't expect him to take
money in the first place.

What's more unexpected is that
Jeevanandam is hitting back.

Something is fishy.

This is the only village that
has troubled us so much.

The verdict will be in our
favour this time.

If Mr. Lakshmikumar's commission report
favours us, the verdict will also favour us.

But I heard he is a strict
man.

There's a price for every
man.

You cannot meet Mr. Lakshmikumar.

Everybody, leave!!!

You are not allowed
to see him.

Who are you?

We are farmers from
Thanoothu.

The verdict will be based
on your report.

You have to be fair and submit a
report that favours us.

It is wrong for you to
meet me.

Please leave.

Ask them to leave.

One moment, sir

All of you wait there

Yes, sir

Everybody, please leave

You too

I know you've been
bribed.

You know what is fair.

If you dare say something
wrong

I'll get a 17-year old to
stab you.

He'll be jailed only for
three years.

I'll get someone with a learner's driving
license to run a car over you.

He will get away with
a fine.

Or, I'll stab you with
a rusty knife myself.

Do you know why I'll use
a rusty knife?

You won't die immediately.

Pus will ooze from you for eight
months and then you'll die.

Think about it.

I'll get going.

He has scared you.

No, he seems like someone
who has done that before.

He's citing laws. Is he
right?

You can't kill anyone like that.

It's not possible.

We won't let that happen.

Don't be scared.

I am going because you've
given me the courage.

Did you get scared and go
to him for support?

You don't know him.

You'll be finished.

Tell him someone is waiting for
him outside the door.

Someone is apparently
waiting for you outside.

I have come from the salon.
They said you needed a shave.

Someone from your salon
came here just a while ago.

No, sir
I am the person.

Turn the speaker on.

Tell someone to take a look
at the nape of your neck.

Fingerprints

When I can enter your house and leave
fingerprints on your neck

How long will it take me
to cut off your neck?

You put a shaving blade to
the old men's neck.

See what my man did!

I don't like to talk.

I find it easier to walk
the talk.

Mr. Lakshmikumar, I am sure you now
know that he cannot save you.

I thought this was a simple case,

You are not safe yourself.

Here's your money.

Count it.

Allow me to go.

He has dared to leave his
fingerprints on my neck!

What if I send 10 people?

He'll handle it.

What If I send 20 men?

He'll be thrashed.

What If I send 40 men?

They'll slice him to pieces.

Send 50 men.

Ask them to make
mincemeat out of him.

Don't take the train or the bus.
Keep changing vehicles.

It doesn't matter if it
takes time.

Kill him as soon as he
shows you the person.

Do you get it?

It is 1.30 a.m.
Haven't you slept yet?

I am reading up the
history of our case.

With the way you handled Lakshmikumar,
the report will be in our favour.

Go to bed.

We have just two days to
go for the verdict.

He shouldn't do anything
fraudulent before that.

Call the police.

There are 40 to 50 men
out there.

Lock the doors of the room
where the old people are.

Turn off the mains.
It'll get dark.

I'll toss a coin.

As soon as you hear it, turn on the mains for just
a second and turn it off immediately.

Wait for me to toss the
coin again.

Whenever you hear the coin fall,
turn on the mains and turn it off again.

If you hear me toss all the coins
at once, turn it on for good.

Where's he attacking
us from?

He has struck again.

Look up.

Hurry up. Let's move.

He has a rod in his hand.

Where is he?

Come on!

He must be around here.

What was that noise?

I want everyone inside the vehicle
and out of sight in 10 minutes.

What happened, son?
Are you all right?

It's nothing.

Go back to bed.

The commission's order is in favour
of Thanoothu village.

Mr. Lakshmikumar has specified that the water
source has to be used only for agricultural purposes.

But, a multinational company
has filed a petition this morning

It says that close to 2,324 first-generation
literates in the 200 villages around Thanoothu...

...have asked
for the factory to be set-up.

Why have these youngsters suddenly
evinced interest in this case?

Is there evidence to prove that
they belong to those villages?

The evidence proving their identity, proof of
residence and literacy has been presented.

It's important to consider the interests
of these first- generation literates

It has to be proved that
they truly belong to these villages.

They have submitted
2,324 documents.

If you think they're forged,
it's up to you to prove it.

I need some time to
prove that.

We need a copy of the
certificates.

This case can't be
adjourned further.

The final judgment will
be given in five days.

If the forgery isn't proved, chances are that
the order will be in favour of the corporate.

There is a new twist in
the case. That's why the delay.

Everything is original.

Are they?

I've checked.

But, those 2,324 people
don't live in India.

They work in foreign
countries as labourers.

Why have they selected
such people?

Do you have phone numbers
of the companies they work in?

I'm working on that.

I've the first 50 numbers.

Talk to them.
I've my own doubts.

I'm Jeevanandam from
Chennai.

Is it Jeevanandam from
Thanoothu village?

Yes, I am.

Did you support the campaign for setting-up
a factory at Thanoothu village?

Really? I didn't do
any such thing.

But, all your documents
have been presented.

I didn't,
I'm picking garbage here.

I am finding it very
difficult here.

I can't wait to get back
and work in the fields.

Can you come to Chennai and
state this in the Court?

I'm here on a four-year
contract, they hold my passport.

They won't allow me to
leave half-way.

I drive a cab for a
corporate company.

Who has your passport?

They hold my passport.

I am on a four-year
contract.

My passport is with them.
They won't allow me to leave half-way.

I've two more years on
my contract.

They won't allow me.

We're stuck. They work
as contractual labourers abroad.

It's well-planned.

Corporate companies
won't let each other down.

They won't handover
the passport.

We can't prove anything.

What does that mean?

We'll lose. The judgment
will be in their favour.

You tried hard,
didn't you?

You tried bringing down a corporate
with your hopeless lawyer?

I've a team of highly skilled
lawyers working for me.

I think ‘corporate'.

You can't bring even one
of them to Court.

They work for multinational
companies across the world.

If I am affected,
they will stand up for me.

A corporate is a huge web
Your village is a tiny insect caught in that web.

If a corporate company is in trouble,
only another will extend help.

Let's prove to them that when a farmer is in trouble,
everybody will join in to support.

This problem should be
aired in the open.

We need help from the
media for that.

We will definitely write about it,
but I can't allocate half a page for it.

I can mention a few lines
on page 6.

We've been getting such hot news.
Your news is three years old.

We certainly can.

Ten of them from your side and
another 10 from the other side

Can you bring all the women from
the dead men's families?

Children will make it
even better.

They should cry
dramatically.

They should get angry
and add to the drama.

Be careful not to interfere in the shoot
because the camera will be rolling.

We can edit it and add the effects later
and air it on two Sundays.

The judgment is in
five days!

You won't get a slot
just like that.

Don't you get it?

They have created 2,300
forged identities.

We were unable to prove
they are fake.

We need more people to support us
if we have to convince the court.

I understand your situation,
but there is no ‘news value' in this.

Everything has a different value...
A protest in front of the Collector's office...

An attempted suicide...

The value of a suicide story
is several times higher...

But a starving village or a farmer's plight will
not make sense to the people in the city.

The media will not
cover this.

It is not news worthy.

This is a problem pertaining to your village.
You should sort it out there.

Why did you bring it here?

I'm calling from
Thanoothu village.

Can you pass on the phone
to one of the elders?

I will pass it on.

It's a call from your
village.

Grandfather, are you all right?

Yes.

Why is the case
adjourned?

Everyone is anxious about the verdict.
Will it be in our favour?

It will be in our favour.

My mother wishes to
speak to my brother.

I will give it to him.

Your mother wants
to speak.

Son, don't worry. Your good intentions will
ensure everything turns out fine.

We're offering our prayers
here.

Ok, mother.

Our neighbour wishes to
speak to you.

Ok, hand it over to her.

Brother, are you all right?

Yes.

My father died last week
in Dubai.

He suffered a heart attack
at the workplace.

They were to send the
body home.

Since, we took a vow that the men wouldn't
come into the village till the settlement...

...we told them to conduct
the last rites there.

In order to get media attention,
should a few of us commit suicide?

We're anyway old and will live
only for another five or six years.

It'll get good coverage and our
problem will come out in the open.

Will they notice us only
when we die?

Won't they try to stop
a farmer's death?

When a shopkeeper is attacked,
other shopkeepers run to his help.

When a money-lender is attacked,
his fraternity rushes to support him.

Won't the city dwellers
help a villager in trouble?

Their daily sustenance depends
on the rice, vegetables...

...and other essentials that
come from a village.

They can't be repelled by
a villager's death.

The city dwellers have to just
open a tap to get water.

How'll they understand a farmer's
woes to get access to water?

We'll make them understand.

Let's make this privileged lot
understand a farmer's anguish.

Chennai city won't get
water for the next three days.

The only thought in their
head should be ‘water'.

The local and national media
channels will arrive here now.

How's that possible?

I want Chennai city's
blueprint.

Seventy percent of the water
supply comes from the reservoirs,

Twenty percent through trucks and
the remaining is groundwater.

We are going to block the water
supply from the reservoirs.

When the people dependent on this
70 percent water supply,

...resort to the water trucks the next day,
the supply won't meet the demand

On the third day, the one and
only need in the city will be ‘water'.

Our objective is not to
bring distress to people

but, for them to understand that
villages are being destroyed...

...and for the media to
notice us.

Which are the reservoirs that
supply water to Chennai?

Chembarambakkam, Puzhal, Veeranam,
Poondi and Sholavaram reservoirs.

How is it possible to block the
supply from the reservoirs?

I'll tell you.

Don't we need manpower?

We are the manpower.

Us ? We're too old
for this.

We were considered
a burden even in our homes.

That's why our children
dumped us here.

What if you're old?

‘Periyar', the great reformist,
fought for the deprived when he was 94.

‘Mother Theresa', toiled for those
afflicted with leprosy when she was 87.

‘Gandhiji', was 77 when he won
freedom for our country.

Retirement has nothing to do with age.
It's got to do with your heart...

Prove your worth to the
families that dumped you.

Who'll join hands with
me?

Tell your friends and other brave
confidantes to join hands with us.

We need 60 more people.

We'll join your cause.

We're here.

We'll be with you till
the end.

I should've switched on the water pump
at 5 a.m., I'm an hour late already.

Get down.

(Farmers from Thanoothu village)

That pipe should be visible.

You go to
Chembarambakkam.

The rest of the elders are
waiting there.

You go to Veeranam.

Grandfather, you hang the CD on
the plough and then join me.

Follow me one by one.

Careful!

If they go into the pipelines,
how can we supply water?

We've to inform the police.
Where is this?

Is anybody here?

Is anybody here?

Hey, what are you doing
there?

Step out.

Will you step out or shall
I come in?

Why don't you try?

We are 25 of us and we
have petrol cans.

We're ready to immolate
ourselves.

You can join us and
become the 26th person.

There are people inside and
they are all oldies.

They are threatening to
self immolate.

We've to send water to the city by 5 a.m.
but it's already 9 a.m.

I've got news that it's not just here,
it's the same everywhere else.

All of them are oldies.

Move!

Step aside!

We tried to break the front
portion of the pipeline.

But, they keep moving
further down.

The pipeline runs for about 18 kilometres.
It will be difficult to replace it.

They have petrol cans and if
they immolate themselves,

...it will become a national
issue.

Jeevanandam is the person
behind this.

He's with them.
They will only listen to him.

How did simple villagers come up
with such devious thoughts?

What's the situation there?

All TV channels and other media
have stormed in here.

Right now, this is media's
hunger for news.

That's not our objective.

We've to turn that into
people's hunger.

Let people question us.

Let's answer them then.

It's a surprising and shocking revelation that
the people who've gone into the pipelines...

... and blocked the water
supply are all old people.

‘Arulprakasam, aged 73.'

‘Krishnamurthy, aged 71.'

‘Gurunathan, aged 69.'

‘Periyasamy, aged 74.'

‘Sundarapandi, aged 72.'

‘Pazhanisamy, aged 79.'

‘Ramamurthy, aged 73.'

Mother, that's grandpa!

Come here, your dad is on TV.

Did the farmers really
do this?

Did old people really
attempt this?

That's the debate on
tonight's show.

We'll get back to ‘Empty Talk Show' brought to you
by Rana Steels after this short commercial break.

He is listening to the Hindi news.

That's Bengali, not Hindi.

Tell me, Ankita.

Is my grandfather there?

Yes, he is.

Can you give the phone
to him?

Ankita wants to talk to you.

She told me to give this to you
while she is on the phone.

A ring ?

Wear the ring.

We are engaged now.

‘Engaged' means that from now on, your phone
should never be engaged when I call you.

But when someone else calls,
both our phones must be engaged.

Ok?

Voice on Radio: For the second consecutive day,
water shortage continues to trouble the city.

Since the city didn't get its
water supply yesterday,

...residents of some localities are rushing to
procure water from wherever they can.

We are going to talk about this
snowballing water crisis all of today.

As the city suffers from an acute
water crisis for the second day,

people are blocking government
water tankers to procure water.

The police are unable to curtail
the breakout of violence.

As today is the second day the city hasn't received
its water supply, apartment dwellers,

businessmen and other officers are furious
with Jeevanandam and the old men.

What is surprising is that other
than Chennai city dwellers...

...the rest of the population is
supportive of Thanoothu farmers.

Listen to this.

There is no water in our village
for the last 20 years.

They are raising a hue and
cry for just two days.

We walk 12 miles for a
pot of water.

Aren't we human beings?

Because there is no water for farming,
I drive an auto in this damn city.

Listen to the different views of some
up-market city dwellers...

...and the villagers'
response to them.

How can a metropolitan city
be compared to a village?

Agricultural lands have been
converted to building complexes.

How will you have water
for farming?

The city is solely responsible
for polluting River Cooum with sewage.

A man in the city doesn't even know whether
a pumpkin is a climber or creeper.

All they know to do is to eat
it if we serve it to them.

Did you listen to the radio?

Even before our attempt to
talk to the media,

...there seems to be widespread
support for our cause.

The city is very angry
with us.

I propose to speak to the
Press at 8 a.m. tomorrow.

After that the only thing that will be
on their minds is the farmer's plight.

At court tomorrow, the voices of
supporters set up by Shiraag...

...will be silenced by the voices of
our true supporters.

I foresee just one setback.

What is it?

Jeevanandam has escaped
from the Kolkata jail.

I heard it on the news.

He must be on his way
here.

If he misunderstands our intentions,
everything will be a waste.

There could be rivalry
amongst us.

But, when a common rival emerges,
we've to stand united.

We have to crush anybody who attempts
to pull down the corporate world.

If we let go of this case,
it will set a bad precedent.

I run a shampoo
manufacturing factory.

We require close to 45 eggs to
manufacture a bottle of shampoo.

If all the poor kids on the street start wanting
eggs how can we make shampoo?

If the multinational company
withdraws its case,

...it will become an issue
for the rest of us.

Thirty three cases have been filed
against 12 of my companies.

We will be expected to
withdraw our cases too.

The ‘Press meet' should
not take place.

I've brought in 400 people
from Assam.

When Jeevanandam is en
route to the ‘Press meet',

...they will create a
commotion and finish him.

I will win this case.

Has a convict who has escaped
from Kolkata jail caused all this?

The man who held the city to
a ransom for two days...

...and kept the police and media
on their toes, is a fraud?

Are you sure?

Yes, I am.

That is Jeevanandam.
He is going with the inspector.

He was inside the pipeline.
How did he come out?

What is the necessity to
meet with the police now?

He has some other plan.

They're both alive.

Kill the inspector and
bring Jeevanandam to me.

Really?

Is it hard to believe?

Turn on ‘FaceTime'.

I'll send those men back
to Assam?

Don't use local goons
till the problem settles down.

I will send a few men over
in case you need them.

Weren't you supposed to
give an interview today?

The Press is waiting for
you.

Go ahead and speak.

Tomorrow, the judgment
will be in my favour.

You thrashed 50 of
my men.

Why don't you do that
now? Come on!

You hurled the money
back at me.

Look at your state now.

When I put a knife to the old men's neck,
you put a knife on mine.

Why don't you try it now?

Place the knife now.

I should have killed you when
you stood up for one village.

Now, you've instigated all the villages to
protest against all corporate companies.

You had planned to tell it
all at the ‘Press meet'...

...and tilt the judgment in
your favour.

Are these old men going to
address the Press?

Two Jeevanandams ?

It is a live telecast.

You nailed me,
didn't you?

Greetings to all!

You can come up with
your questions now.

What do you expect us to
ask you?

Do you realise the magnitude of what
you've done along with a bunch of oldies?

Oldies?

Come here.

Are you the one who
said ‘oldies'?

When did you last plant
a sapling?

About two years back?

Five years back?

Have you ever planted
a sapling in your life?

Yes, I have planted a
‘money plant' at home.

These ‘oldies' haven't planted ‘money plants',
but have planted food crops for the last 70 years.

Go, sit down.

An American multinational company
has destroyed about 200 agricultural villages.

Thanoothu is the only village
that stood up against them.

The price they paid for that was...
the lives of nine farmers.

I tried hard to make you take notice
of this cruel injustice. I couldn't.

When hungry, you think
of food.

Have you ever thought of the poor farmers
who have sown the seeds for that food?

In the last 30 years,
about 12,456 lakes...

... more than 27,000 ponds, about seven
rivers have been wiped out.

About 1, 67,512 acres of agricultural
land has been destroyed.

A cola giant uses about 9 lakh litres of
water from River Thamiraparani in a day.

Where will the farmers
go for water?

Why won't farmers
commit suicide?

They aren't begging
for food.

They are asking for water
for farming.

It is not just the farmers
from Thanoothu village,

...but all the farmers
who've left their hometown.

People who were farmers 20 years back
are now begging outside temples,

...doing your laundry
and cleaning the sewers.

Let me tell you something most
of you may not know.

Every 30 minutes, a farmer dies in India
and his family is left abandoned.

This has been happening
for the last 10 years.

For generations, they have
lived to feed our families.

They're being wiped out
slowly.

Since 2002, about 10 lakh farmers
have given up farming...

...and have been pushed to
taking on other jobs.

Now, the recent buzz word
is ‘Methane gas'!

To get their hands on that, a multinational
company is going to wipe out...

...1, 64,819 acres of land in Tanjore,
Nagapattinam districts.

The farmers and their families
are going to starve to death.

Five thousand crore rupees!

A beer factory owner, who has borrowed
Rs. 5,000 crore,

...washes his hands off saying
he is unable to repay his debt.

But, neither he nor the authorities who
sanctioned his loans have attempted suicide.

But, a farmer with a borrowing of Rs.5, 000,
unable to pay the principal...

...and accrued interest,
commits suicide consuming pesticide.

You city dwellers are too
busy to notice this.

We requested the media
to help us.

Television channels like to gain mileage
out of airing cookery shows ...

....and ranking participants
on reality shows.

But they can't spare 2 minutes to air the story of
a village being wiped out.

We are not saying this country
does not need factories.

But, let's not have soaps
that use milk.

Let's not have fairness creams made out of
edibles like egg or vegetables.

We don't require a factory that uses tomatoes,
almonds and other edibles to make cosmetics.

About 5,000 children in our country
die every day due to vitamin deficiency.

Five thousand children
in a day!

If a rich man wants a strawberry
flavoured condom...

How can a poor child even dream
of eating a strawberry?

It's just water.

Will it fetch that high a price?

What did you say?
Just water!

What is 2G? It's all about wireless
transmission in thin air.

This is a country which makes crores of rupees
through corruption even by selling air.

A cell phone is a luxury.

Water is essential.

We're here finally with the hope that the
people's forum and the judiciary...

...will save our village from the
fists of a corporate company.

The last three days would have been
a struggle without water.

All the women and children
who suffered, please forgive us.

You will get your water
supply within 40 minutes.

But water for that village depends
on the judgment given tomorrow.

I request the police not to follow us
because it will delay the water supply.

For what we've done,
we will surrender in court tomorrow.

Ankita, you go along
with them.

You take them there safely.

I'll come later in the night.

We don't know anything about
Jeevanandam's whereabouts.

The Kolkata police are
back here in Chennai.

I just got a call from
my pad.

Kathiresan alias
‘Kaththi'

The most villainous villain

I still say your village
will be mine.

Ankita, can you please
bring the rice.

I'll give it to him.

A call from home

Yes, dear. Did you see
grandpa on TV?

My granddaughter

Yes, grandpa is a
terrorist

I'll be back tomorrow.

Are you getting water?

The line got cut.

She called because she
saw me on TV. - All right

All right

What's up, Ravi? Kathiresan and you
stole the show on TV yesterday.

That was a terrific
interview.

I never imagined
Kathiresan could speak this way.

There was a huge
applause from our gang.

Why were they referring to
Kathiresan as ‘Jeevanandam'?

Has he changed his name?

What happened?

See if he is on line?

He's on line but he's not
speaking.

Kathiresan .

Who's Kathiresan?

No one I said it just
like that.

Jeevanandam

When will Kathiresan
come back?

He'll be back in a while.
Please eat.

What was the name...?

The 10 of you need to
sign this.

What's written in that?

It says we're withdrawing the case
and giving up our village

You thief, scoundrel!

‘Our' village ?

It's not yours,
it belongs to us.

Where is Jeevanandam?
What did you do to him?

How much did you sell
us for?

Don't be hasty.

Why did you have to con
us old men?

Are you one of his men?

That's enough,
don't utter another word.

Yes, he's a thief.

We first thought of stealing Rs. 25 lakh,
later we thought of stealing Rs. 25 crore

But, the moment he saw the hardship of
the villagers, he threw away the money.

He was reminded of his
mother who like you,

... couldn't continue farming
and became a labourer.

She died when a pillar fell on her
at a bridge construction site.

He toiled because he didn't want
any farmer family to suffer.

He hasn't eaten a full meal.
He hasn't had a peaceful night's sleep.

Jeevanandam got beaten
up by the police.

But he single-handedly fought
against 50 men. Was that for money?

I'm sure he is asking you for a signature
only to save Jeevanandam, not for money

You are unable to recognise
true love that is why...

...your own children have
abandoned you.

How can you speak this way?

Sir, trust me

Only when you all sign this can
I go where Jeevanandam is.

We will win the case
tomorrow.

Trust me.

Jeevanandam must return.

The village must get water.

Even if one of these don't happen,
we won't live.

You'll get both...
even if I don't come back

The signatures match.

You've pulled down
the only house we had.

What am I going to do
now?

Scoundrels!

You destroyed our houses
and we are homeless now.

You've destroyed our houses
and seized our lands

Let him go.

I didn't get you here
to send him away.

Neither did I come here
to give you this.

Please leave.
I'll take care of it.

The verdict will be
out tomorrow.

Your life is precious.

Please leave.

Jeeva, tell the elders

I did lie to them
but my love for them was true.

Please leave.

We asked him to bring
water for the village

We asked him to bring
Jeeva back

But none of us asked him to
come back to us safely.

There's Kathiresan

I will go to the mains.

In the context of the changes that
have taken place in the last week...

...media is full of reports on erstwhile farmers
working as labourers world wide...

... and the general public supporting farmers and
protesting against the multinational company.

The report submitted by the commission is not
in favour of the multinational company.

Therefore, this court
pronounces its judgment.

It orders the company to
remove all its equipment...

... and machinery and its other
encroachments within two days.

Further, the court decrees that the water resource
wholly belongs to the farmers of the village.

Further, the court orders the public works
department to confiscate on a war-footing pace,

...the lakes, ponds and rivers in all
the encroached villages,

...to be de-silted and to restore
it to its original form.

Jeevanandam and the 40 elderly men,
who protested along with him,

... are warned and without any
conviction are acquitted.

Please give way.

Kathir is on the phone.
He wants to talk to you.

Where are you,
Kathiresan?

Come here immediately.
I want everyone to see you

No this is your dream.

You should be the only
one there.

You did it all.
How can I take your place?

All the farmers look
confident now.

The confidence that Jeevanandam
will be there if they are in trouble

After all, I am a convict who
escaped from jail.

I don't belong

Can you please hand the
phone to Ankita?

I cannot justify lying
to you.

The farmer feeds the world,
but you've fed the farmer.

You will be all right.

Go

I will wait for you,
however long it takes.

"Whose blessed son are you?"

"He is the deity this
village worships!"

"Is he the answer to the
village's penance?"

"He protects this land,
he is the saviour!"

"Nothing equals the sweat
and toil of this root "

"When this village is in
bloom, you're not here "

"Who are you?
Wonder who you are "

"Are you the tears that
brought us happiness?"

"Who are you?
Wonder who you are "

"Are you the tears that
brought us happiness?"

"Whose blessed son are you?"

"He is the deity this
village worships!"

"Oh, gentle breeze,
where did you go?"

"You didn't reveal who
you were."

"You walked away as
a nameless shadow."

"Once, just once to catch a glimpse
of you even once is a boon."

"A thought a thought of you
and tears rain down our eyes "

"Who are you?
Wonder who you are "

"Are you the tears that
brought us happiness?"

"Who are you?
Wonder who you are "

"Are you the tears that
brought us happiness?"

"Whose blessed son are you?"

"He is the deity this
village worships!"

"Nothing equals the sweat
and toil of this root "

"When this village is in
bloom, you're not here "

"Who are you?
Wonder who you are "

"Are you the tears that
brought us happiness?"

"Who are you?
Wonder who you are "

"Are you the tears that
brought us happiness?"

"Whose blessed son are you?"

"He is the deity this
village worships!"
