Original subtitles

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...

....Jeevanandam would represent the village to fight their case in the High Court.

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?"
