Boss, our boys are itching to hit

Just nod your head

We can close his chapter effectively

'Why did this happen to our girl?'

Hey! Shut up

Lamenting nonstop

I have decided

Green signal given

For the past 1 week, I have
been telling that PT master

No one wanted to wash you

Only now you shine
making our nation proud

Arulmozhi, leader-brother has come

Anna, this is a bolt from the blue

- When you are here, how can I stand?
- We have no other choice

Only a woman is eligible
to stand in our constituency

What are you thinking?

You stand, it is as good as me standing

You know this neighborhood very well

You are working in a few houses
You have passed 10th grade

You stand, we'll see

I am working out of affection

Very true, only affection gathers votes

I would have made my wife stand
in the election, but she fell ill

This is a small Panchayat election

'A major one is coming up next
I am keen only to contest that'

You are the 1st person to think
so much instead of agreeing

Hey! She may get scared
You must explain clearly

Don't you agree to do
a chore for my wife at home?

Same way, if you win
just comply to any task I give

Brother, this girl is terrified

I'm not terrified, anna
I am thinking

Why would you think so much?

Will our Panchayat-town benefit, anna?

Everyone will benefit for sure

Panchayat head has its perks!

'I will guide you
Not to worry'

Alright, brother

Anna, how did this happen?

She is one of us

That auto driver is the culprit

Brother, she will be elected
as the next Panchayat head

Take good care of her

Let me know
if you need anything

You decide, boss

We can execute the task
the way you want discreetly

There are 4 types of
stabbing with a knife

Instantaneous death

Or suffer for 4 days,
be paralyzed and finally die

Otherwise bedridden and
immobile for the entire lifetime

Can be as ruthless as your rage, anna

Only now electricity has been sanctioned

Step by step we can
develop our entire town

Listen

[flurry of voices]

Don't stop
Leave the place

I believe you said you can't
help our union volunteer

The task entails 3 lakhs
How can he ask for 1 lakh as bribe?

That doesn't concern you

I am behind you and
our party is behind me

I have to answer everyone

I have raised you to this seat of power

Won't take me long to send you
back to the road level

I heard you got Rs 3 lakhs
for getting the power supply cable

I'll send Murugesan from my office
Give him a sum of Rs 1 lakh

Give Rs 50,000 to my wife at home

- We'll manage
- How can I with just Rs 1.5 lakhs?

You have to
You have no choice

If you want add
10 more to help you

Pay them 5000 or 10,000

What's wrong with this female?
Usurping your seat she is betraying you?

Hey! Shut up
She is one of us

Let me know
if you need anything

- I'll give you
- I want only electricity

Not in my hands

- Do you have?
- No, anna

No, anna

Don't get into their bad books

Try to be diplomatic
and get your work done

- How can he be so deceitful?
- That's reality, madam

You are stuck in between
these thugs without a heart

- Do you know-
- Madam, collector is here

Vanakkam

- Vanakkam, madam
- Greetings, sir

Is your Panchayat head
discharging her duties well?

Yes, sir, she is handling it well

She is ideal for this post

You should somehow
make her the next collector, sir

It isn't that easy to
become a collector

- Which trimester are you in?
- 3rd, 8th month, sir

Why are you straining yourself?

- You can avail maternity leave
- It's alright, sir

You said the road matter
will be finalized this week

It is almost sanctioned

Your village gets a sum of Rs 13 lakhs

Are you happy now?
Give it to me

- Here
- Thank you very much, sir

Sir, I am from Kolathupadi
What about road for our village?

Govt has sanctioned Rs 5 lakhs
last year for road for your village

- I was told the road had been laid?
- Alavaya, gobbled the entire sum, huh?

- Who is that Aalavayan?
- Their village Panchayat head

Arulmozhi, how can you do this?
Won't you do as you are told?

Anna, it will cost 15 lakhs to lay the road

Only 13 lakhs has been sanctioned
If you eat into 5 lakhs how can I make do?

People believe I will
work for their welfare

I can't let them down

What temerity! You have given
the contract to a man of your choice

Your contractors are
thugs of the first order

You don't have
the power to decide

- Hey! Mind your language
- Think you are water to her pot!

If I smash the pot
water will spill out

Hey! Just shut up

Toe the line to what our brother says
You'll get many more contracts

Your palms can be greased
in road, light, pond, power

Isn't your husband driving
an auto on rent?

Isn't it our Shanmugam's auto?

- Yes, bro
- If I put in a word

He will lose the auto
and his income

Then what will you do?

Okay, let us all share the kickback

To expect honesty
in politics is wrong

If it is wrong to possess integrity
I'll keep repeating that crime, brother

I don't mind losing my income

I'll eat enough to
stay alive and survive

But I won't support a misdeed for sure

I told you right in the beginning
not just me, there are many behind me

I have to answer all their queries

I'm not concerned about
who is behind me, bro

My territory gets first priority

If you can lend a hand in developing it
Otherwise please don't hinder its progress

She's acting too big for her boots
Ask her to resign her post

Or expel her from the party

Anna, I am begging you

Help me to make our rural town
an example for our nation to follow

If you curb my work further
I'll complain to our collector

Hey! Something untoward may happen

Thought your life is
a worthless strand of hair?

Any strand of hair
on me has self-dignity

Why are you bragging
after killing a handful of people?

You shouldn't miss your mark

Do you realize
she's a Govt officer?

Brother, I doubt the capability
of these thugs

What I'm trying to tell you is,
our Anakatti boys will do a thorough job

- What do you suggest?
- No need

I've thought about this
hard and long

Even the most barbaric method of
killing her won't pacify my rage

Burn her to cinders

We must commence laying the road
within the next week, dear

We must finish all the work
before the rainy season sets in

She asked for a commission
in the road contract

She didn't pay heed to our warning

When we said we would
complain to the collector

...she threatened to foist
a false case against us

We had no idea what to do

So we did this for the sake of
the welfare of our people

- Ask 4 of our men to surrender
- 'Okay, brother'

- Listen, dear
- Tell me

We should educate our son to rise
in life, what career option to choose?

I think becoming a collector
is the highest form of service

Then we should admit him in the school
next to the big bus stand-

What is it, sir?

- Why did you make me halt?
- Aren't you Shanmugam?

- Yes
- 'Who is he?'

- I need to talk to you
- Talk about what?

Brother!

Save my baby, anna

Don't hurt my baby

Save us, brother

- Baby, brother
- Hey! Take that out

Anna...!

Hey! Pour it all over her

Very difficult, grandma
She has 3rd degree burns

She has a head injury too

We will try to at least save the baby

Hold on to your life, my dear
Let it be a safe delivery

"For some weeks in my uterus"

"For many more in my dreams"

"As a bundle of love and joy
I carried you within, my boy"

Please bear the pain
Let us bring the baby out safely

"For some weeks in my uterus
For many more in my dreams"

"As a bundle of love and joy
I carried you within, my boy"

"Lead a righteous life bountiful
Imbibe that virtue so beautiful"

"If you swim through your sorrows
sky is the limit for your tomorrows"

"Learn to win anew
against the 'u' in yoU"

"That boat is life's theme
to make you realize yoUr dream"

'Sir, she has survived
Given birth to a baby boy'

"He is one in a million"

"He is a blessing in a billion"

"A gem in a gazillion"

Police...the police are here

- Hide your cell phones
- Check every single item

Where did you hide the phone?

No underwear, huh?

Move aside
Where is your phone?

Look where they have fixed the charger?

- He's popping something into his mouth
- Open your mouth

'Conference' Karna
Your communication is cut

You can't charge your cell phone

You can't leak any News
to the outside world

No one will know
even if all of you are dead

Hey Sullu!

Karna's communication
in jail has been cut

- 'I know'
- And still you are so calm?

'Which idiot said I am calm?'

Did you get all the stuff safely in?

Safe and sound

- Knife
- Yes

- Show me
- Bro

If I do this won't I become
part of Sulla bro's gang?

You are in for sure

- But do it right
- Okay, bro

Sullu is coming

- Hello, bro
- Vanakkam, bro

Major bonus, all that flab on his stomach

If you change loyalties tomorrow

Scumbag, I'll make
mincemeat of your intestines

I won't, bro, but Sulla'nna
isn't even greeting me

Won't you take me into
your gang if you don't like me?

Where did you find
this greenhorn?

Our area boy, Sullu

Neighbor of 'Cycle' Mani
living in C block

You are hissing like you are on
ecstasy mode, even before I inject

Just a small incision
You will be fine

They are medical college students
You don't have to worry

They do a neat job

- Here's the packet
- Okay, bro

'That's all
Lie down now'

'Grit your teeth
Almost done'

-'Over
- Listen'

Start a fight and get yourself into jail
My boss inside will take care

Look at this
How funny!

[groaning in pain]

- Karna
- Tell me

- Got the item in order?
- Yes

Hey!

I was asked to clean the toilet

Tell the warden the stitches
split apart in a brawl over there

Go and get it fixed

Bro, do I look like I was bashed up?

Do I have to go to Chennai, ma?

Let me stay with you, please

I'll clear the IAS exam somehow
in the next attempt, ma

Half your time is wasted
spending it with me

You should focus on
your work fully for a while

My limits have shrunk

But your boundaries should be limitless

'Education alone isn't enough'

Only travel and experience
will expand your knowledge

Then why don't you also
come with me to Chennai?

I haven't stepped out
all these decades

Not because the sun's rays
will affect my burnt skin

More than the physical suffering I bore

...the pain that hasn't healed till now

...is the fact I haven't been able to
help my village and the people till date

My heart still beats only because I know
heart of hearts you will fulfil my desire

Only politics and IAS
will possess that strength

Politics has destroyed me
and flung me into this corner

But you have to become an IAS officer

Vijayaraghavan IAS

You should be able to develop
our world to our maximum ability

That is my dream

Only YOU are my dream

Make my dream come true
and then take me out of this exile

Even if 1000 suns scorched me
I won't feel any pain

I will walk by your side
with my head held high

Please always bear this in mind

Our goal has to be fulfilled

You want an independent house
for rent for Rs 3000, sir

You're roaming around Indra Nagar
How will you get within this budget?

You'll get only in this area

Many agents are waiting to make
chilly juice for you, take you for a ride

'My life everyday…every moment'

'…every second has been chiseled by ME!'

- You haven't left as yet?
- Greetings, bro

- Check if this room is okay, sir
- Give me 2 days grace time, bro

I'll settle the rent
I may have to stay 1 week longer

Nylon, think you can vegetate here?

Life is really tough, bro

Bhai owes me Rs 600
for the centering job I did

Somehow I will pay you
in the next 2 days, bro

Let's find some other place

Hey! You had better
keep up your word

- Look at this house, sir
- Thank God you unlocked the door

I was tanked, I slept
and the boys locked me in

Listen to the terms, sir
Rent is Rs 3000

'Pay the rent promptly'

'Pay the electricity bill
according to the unit used'

'Nails have been fixed
on the walls already'

'Call me if you need to
hammer extra nails'

Separate payment for water

Can we look at
some other room?

If you are okay with brokerage
pay me 1 month's rent

- I'll fix the deal
- You said you are the owner?

- I am the owner
- Then broker?

I am the broker too

"We are don in this area, dude
We show all a swag attitude"

"Our fan with a fervor
Arnold Schwarzenegger"

"Shoals of fish in the sea
We are shark fish you see"

"Don't you dare create a scene
If we get our hands dirty, you are gone"

"Bit by bit or in one blow heavy
We will turn you topsy turvy"

"In a fist of power and steadily
'aleka' we'll kidnap you readily"

"Hop, skip and jump, in a jiffy
Not easy to get rid of us you see"

"Rough & tough, shifty-nifty
We are heroes who play dirty"

"We are don in this area, dude
We show all a swag attitude"

"Our fan with a fervor
Arnold Schwarzenegger"

"Shoals of fish in the sea
We are shark fish you see"

"Don't you dare create a scene
If we get our hands dirty, you are gone"

Can't you see the public toilet
to your right?

- Yes
- Then why are you peeing here?

Because it is there
I am peeing here!

Are you new here?

Junk of a bottle cap!
Isn't he telling you?

Then why are you peeing there?
Use that public toilet

Hey tailor! Why are you raising your voice?

Don't you know about us?

I'll get the boys to spray
graf-iti on your machine

Shut your gob
What, uncs?!

Shall we scribble all over?

Do you think the old tailor got scared?

He is cursing us under his breath
Look at his mouth trembling

Someone hit him in his heydays

The nerve from mouth to brain was cut

He will speak whatever he intended to

But the delivery via his mouth
will be delayed reaction, look there

Counting one

Two

You'll get it from me
You dare spray graffitti!

I'll stitch all your ***** together

I'll break your windpipe

Don't even know
how to wash after crapping

Wonder how they will fare in studies
and tear what to tatters?

Suffering for a single meal

Already our area is full of trash
and these trashers add to the stench

A man needs hygiene and freedom

Why are you spoiling for
a fight with the tailor?

'Tailor, they are boys after all'

- I'm new to this area
- 'Why do you fight with them?'

Is the trash can always like this?

Do you always speak
with a delayed action?

No, it is over there
but it shouldn't be there

It should be in this corner

Trash lorry will arrive

He will dump the trash

He'll drag the trash can
in a random spot and whizz away

No, I speak soon but
only audio will follow a bit late

Sometimes words are delayed
isn't that actually good?

Late you talk
Lot you live!

"So you are a rough guy
Make it only tough guy"

['Bad guy']

Hello, you there

Dai Senthil?

Hey Senthil

You waste of a wastrel!

Listen, you there
He's calling you

- 'What, sir?'
- 1 minute

Rough lady!
Use words, not violence

Get lost, buck teeth!

- What, sir?
- I need a favor

What favor?

Favor for me
Job for you

This sounds like a riddle?

This trash can should actually be there
It is stinking to high heaven here

Will you clean it?

'Senthil...?
Hey Senthil!'

I've been looking for you
What the hell are you doing here?

Why is he standing
like he saw a ghost?

I am Vijayaraghavan

I live in the portion up there
It is stinking terribly

This trash can should
actually be over there

So I asked him to clean it
and scatter some quicklime

Can you clean it please?

Excuse me

- Hi
- Hi

- How are you?
- 'Hey! I'm good'

I'm very happy
You know what?

Ritu isn't joining this college

She has promised to
call me this evening

'If possible we'll meet her'

'Sure'

'Amma'

Hello?

Sit in the back row

Hello, I'm fine with this seat

This bench can easily
accommodate 3 students

Come, let us sit here comfortably

Only 2 of us sit here, not 3

Son of a gun!

'Look how Bahubali is
clutching on to the bench!'

Hey! What are you gripping
on to the bench for?

Hey! Move

Morning jinx!

Wait and watch
what you are in for

This isn't your place
Go back and sit

What is this, Sullu?

You created hell in our college
throughout your undergrad

'Same fate in post grad too?'

'Our college, sir
How can we let go?'

'We will start Theory & Policy
in macro economics today'

'If we look at the topics'

'Point 1, introduction school
of macro economics'

Mass!

'Point 3'

Rub your head vigorously

Okay? Otherwise that's it

'If you look at Point 5'

'Monetary and fiscal policies
in a closed economy'

'And Point 6'

Ma...wait

- Give it to me
- This trash?

Give it

Give me all your trash

- Thanks
- Okay, bro

'The blunder of not chanting Your
5 Syllables; blunder of not worshiping'

'All our blunders
forbearing, bless us'

'O Lord of Kanchi, Ekambam'

'Anna'

Gunasekara, in the beginning
you were the one who divided the area

But now from Kuruvithop to SS Garden
your men by-pass the route

'Our income from booze
has lessened considerably'

In your ward, you have
500 independent houses

You get kickbacks from road, electricity

You get money from
all these sources

My ward has just quarters

No one has money

Good for nothing oafs!
How will I get any money?

Only if I resort to something
like this, I can lead a cushy life

Move aside, man
You may get runover

Hello, Sullu

Okay, we'll deal with it

Vanakkam, bro

- HEY!
- What?

- Why is he here?
- Look, anna

- Am I not keeping quiet?
- HEY!

You are going overboard

One look at you, I want to
make mincemeat out of you

Hey!

Guna, I have come here in peace

Sullu, you are going the violent way

- Watch your step
- HEY!

Sullu, we need all the support we can get

Our partymen, no?
I can control them

There is bound to be
difference of opinion

Adjustment and management
have to co-exist

Guna, I leave it to you
to handle it fair

Hey leaky bucket!

How long will you pee?
Come out, man

- Karuna
- 'Yes, bro'

Why are you in jail
Get yourself released

Why, bro?
What happened?

Lot of unfinished work
Opponents are getting out of hand

I'm in the ruling party
and can't make money

Come out and stay with me
for about 6 months

Definitely, bro

[song from 'Deivam']

'Tuition class
from grade 5 to 12'

This doesn't seem like
the spot we usually piss

Brother

- What?
- What is your name?

Paramesh, my nickname is 'snake'

Will you do me a favor?

This 'snake' will give even his life
if you come seeking help from him

But if any hidden agenda, he won't
hesitate to take your life either

You want me to give or take?

- Plant
- What?

Yes, plant this seed

This seed?

I don't have any experience in agriculture

- 'Miss Vijayalakshmi
- Here, ma'am'

- Hi, bro
- Hi

Er...bro, are you paying the fees
in one go or instalment basis?

Fees for what?

Class fees, bro

- Don't you know?
- No

I cleared the exam to get
a scholarship to study here

Nice, bro

I had attempted that exam too

- But he failed
- Appa!

What was your rank, bro?

- 6th
- Wow!

What was your rank, son?

300 or 400?

Appa, be silent for a while

You have come here with the dream
of becoming a civil servant

Binding all the states
unifying our nation

Govt services like IAS, IPS, IFS

To reach that level, you must
pass the Prelims exams first

After clearing that, Mains exams

If you clear that too,
then interview in Delhi

Hello toi-ler
Started work so early

Hello

Hello...?

Mr Vijayaraghavan

Why are you ignoring me?

- Where are you from?
- A village near Kambam

- What are you doing in Chennai?
- Pass my Civil service

Oh! You are here in Chennai
to realize your dream

Awesome...awesome

- All the best
- Thank you

- IAS or IPS?
- Trying for IAS

- Okay, give me your phone #
- Why?

You'll become the collector tomorrow...sir

My phone will be proud
to save your number, right?

- Tell me
- 9 to 1

- 921
- Day college

2 to 5, IAS coaching class

6 to 10 tuition class

Busy schedule, time flies
I won't find time to talk

You can talk at least when you are free

I study only when I am free

Worst of the worstest!

Give, I'll find your #

'Why full toss?'

'Machan, catch it'

- Don't you attend school?
- We failed our grade

- That's why we don't go
- Then...?

Then what?
We have a jolly time

- You could have tried 2nd attempt
- Sir, play

Hey! Catch it

Attempt is tougher than
the paper we failed in the 1st place

Where are you bowling?

Catch whatever he bowls

Move to the left

How many of you here
have failed and not gone to school?

Only our gang here

1 gang in Kanniyamman street
A few more in the block nearby

They are all our boys

Any problem they will rescue us
like the speed of light

- Do you know the speed of light?
- What? Light has speed, huh?

Will you come and attend
my tuition class?

I'll make sure
you pass the exams?

- Without studying?
- Minimum input will do

Hey Snake, Freebie Kumar has come to clean

Quarter cutting!
Acting over smart?

Hey uncs, I came over to your place
Your bike was missing

- So I scooted
- Hey!

- This isn't a bike
- Then what?

- Dragon
- What?

- Does it emit fire?
- Watch the smoke at the rear

[revving up the engine]

Can you hear?

Buddy, Sullu

Everything has been packed
It will be delivered by this evening

Hello, bro...bro?

Hey druggie
Will you stop laughing?

Bro, not you, 1 minute
One day I'll break your teeth

Vanakkam, I am Vijayaraghavan

I live in block 26

Your son isn't attending school regularly
because he failed his exams

If you send him to me for tuition
I'll make sure he passes

He doesn't even come home
in time, how will he go for tuition?

He gives sermon for the world
but he doesn't practice what he preaches

I crib the whole night about
the aches and pains in my body

My wife laments about her difficulties

This son of ours is fixated on
'Malavika...Malavika' at night!

The girl's name changes every week!

Even we had the idea
of tuition, I'll send him

- Hey what?
- He takes tuition class it seems

Already my son studies well

No need tuition
You can leave

Appa, you are the best daddy
The juiciest bone in the gravy

- Not left as yet?
- Yov! Move aside

Your son's mark sheet

He has scored 8/100

Look right here

- What is this?
- Your sign

Why did you forge my signature?

I didn't want you to feel bad, pa

How will those losers study?
Husband is an alcoholic

Booze eroded the liver
Now he is surviving on tablets

He cuts class and roams
with other losers like him

- I dumped his school bag in the attic
- He doesn't listen to anyone's advice

He is addicted to booze right now

Grandma, that's just Breezer

That's why your hair is like this

If you send him to me
for tuition, I'll make him pass

We can't send him

He has no aptitude for studies

I'll give him this shop to manage
and make him a businessman

If only you make him study
he will manage 1000 shops like this

He should pass and
secure a decent job

At least he should have
a ceiling over his head

Will you go, da?

If my friends come, okay
Boring to go alone

- You go, I'll send him
- Appa

I don't mind breaking his limbs
to make him attend your class

All I want is for him
to do well in life, sir

"Chase your dreams, dude"

Sullu, he has become the favorite
tuition master in your area

He's just the tuition master
But our Sullu is master of the entire area

- Inspector has come
- Bring him in

Please come

- Good morning
- Come, now what?

- You want 2 men from our quarters
- Yes, sir

Pressure from higher-ups to
close the case as soon as possible

You gave an advance amount
to foist a false case on 5 of my men

After the arrest, no sign
of the balance amount

Where is it, huh?

I'll pay up along with
this payment, sir

Can we arrest anyone in this area
without your support?

- You are a fine actor!
- Oscar award winning performance

Take whomever you want

His family will come at once
for help only to me

'FIR has been filed, but I will
bail him out' I'll say and manage

What about payment?

Only police officers take bribes usually

You take a bribe
even from the police!

If not for our slum boys
which sucker will you get?

What grows like a demon
even after you chop it?

Couch grass, wings, firewood, grains

- Couch grass
- Super

- Good evening, sir
- Why only both of you have come?

- Where are Viji, Sunil?
- The police nabbed them, sir

'Their mother is crying her heart out'

'That's why we were delayed'

Wait, our tuition master has come

Don't you know very well, sir?

My son has reformed now

He doesn't stray now
into any wrong path, sir

They have taken him into custody
for someone else's crime, sir

Put-up case, sir, boys are already guilty
of suspicion, creating public nuisance

Now guilty of Section 75

Major palms have been greased

Inspector can easily grant them
station-bail if he decides

- Didn't I tell you to have a haircut?
- That's when they nabbed us

Where did you disappear?
How long do I call you?

You deaf or what?

Sign this file and
remand them into custody

Sir, the boys have an exam tomorrow

They might have strayed till now
But now they have reformed, sir

If you remand them, they won't be
able to write the exam tomorrow, sir

Their life will be ruined, sir

Isn't it just Section 75, sir?

If you set your mind to it, they can
be released on station bail, sir

Sir, he is their tuition master

He is preparing for IAS exam

Is that why you are
so clear headed?

They are guilty of 2 suspicious cases

If they get 1 more, you know
they come under Goondas Act?

Sir, isn't it just Section 75?

So can they be set free?

Don't I know their history?

Sit in a corner, share weed
and smoke it 24x7

Tomorrow is their final exam, sir
Their life is in your hands, sir

FIR has been registered
Follow it up in court

Yov! Here

[clears throat]

- Take them
- This complaint was filed last year, sir

- You've arrested them now
- Yes

We were looking for them for
a year, we nabbed them only now

Sir, they belong to our area

How could you have searched
for them for 1 year?

Who was their target?

Corporation Commissioner's son

That may be true, sir
But they aren't the culprits

You are foisting a put-up case
because you couldn't nab the real culprit

Aren't you wearing an ironed shirt?
Why do you want it creased now?

- Yov!
- Sir?

Escort him out, what gall
to preach law to me

- Scumbag!
- I'll walk you out, sir

[mobile ringing]

IAS level II exam
next month, ma

- Good, be brave
- Alright, ma

- Did Murugan get you the tablets?
- Yes, dear

I am fine, don't worry about me

'Okay, ma, take care of your health'

- Eat properly
- Who is it?

You take care of yourself, too

- Hey!
- Vanakkam, ma

'I am Vedavathi
Your son's classmate'

Don't worry about your son

'I will take good care of him'

He must have told you about me

- No, dear
- No, huh?

- 'He will in future'
- Alright, dear

- Take care of your brother
- Brother, huh?!

He is my friend, ma

'Alright, take care'

Bye, ma

When your mother visits you
bring her to my place without fail

Only when I become an IAS officer
my mother will step out of our home

Why?

'Look there, Sullu'

2 love birds with wings spread
busy coochey-cooing

Shall we ridicule her
like we humiliated him?

Why do you have such an aversion
to girls like that, Sullu?

Because girls of that type
will never prefer boys like me

'How do you expect that?
Even I don't like you!'

Sorry

Does your amma have
such a tragic flashback?

My mother's dream is
to see me as an IAS officer

My dream is to make
my mother's dream come true

That's why I focus only on
books, studies, scholarship

Scholarship helped you study
without spending a rupee?

No, not true

I studied, enveloped in poverty

Then our story?

- I believe only in action
- Then those love birds?

They will sit in a park and
sing love duets, just shut your gob

"He didn't look to smile at my face
I started to fly in a love-daze"

"He didn't laugh or chit-chat with me
In my fantasy I began to melt in ecstasy"

"He didn't hit on me or flirt with me
I started to slide in a love-rhapsody"

"He didn't walk by my side lovingly
I started to crib unforgivingly"

"He didn't look back to check on me
I fell for him head over heels totally"

"I don't understand his mindset
My heart had a mind of its own instead"

"He didn't wink or make eye contact at me
I started to soften, lightheaded and happy"

"To hold his hand by his side forever
I started to dream a rosy future"

"The moment I see him, I will be
jumping with joy a child carefree"

"The very second he sees me
I'll lap it up like a love-struck lady"

"The moment I see him, I will be
jumping with joy a child carefree"

"The very second he sees me
I'll lap it up like a love-struck lady"

"I looked into his eyes and laughed merrily
I heaped all my love in this bond heartily"

"I went wild soaked in this lovely feeling
all thanks to you, my heart went reeling"

"I yelled your name in my heart aloud anew"

"I reveled in my own shadow following you"

"I wanted to tell you so much
But nothing particular as such"

"I repeated it sweet
to myself like a parakeet"

"I don't glance at the time
I wait for you to make my life sublime"

"Even for a second if we are apart
my heart weighs a ton, sweetheart"

"I am waiting for the date auspicious
when my soul can enter your body precious"

"No walks with our arms caressing
or hugs and kisses engrossing"

"But still in my heart's alcove
I started yearning for your love"

"No clue about this love-liness
Don't know how to express"

"Whatever it is…brow to toe
warm fuzzies all over me now"

"No walks with hands clasped tight
No hugs of sheer delight"

"But still in my heart's alcove
I started yearning for your love"

"No clue about this love-liness
Don't know how to express"

"Whatever it is…brow to toe
warm fuzzies all over me now"

Your father was an alcoholic
and gave me grief

You are doing the same
and killing me now

My life went down the drain like this
I wanted you to come up in life

You are incapable of studying well

How can you be addicted to booze?

Damn you! I will drink
and loiter around

No one can question me

- Shut up and come inside
- I won't study

This is how I will be

What?

This is my mother

So what if she is your mother?

This photo was taken
before I was born

I am in a terrible mood now

This is how she is now

Every parent will nurture
a dream for their child

We tend to think they are
forcing their dream on to us

But if we think deeply

Our parents will think of our welfare
much more than our own selfish thoughts

One's progress to height of fame
or falling to depths of despair

At one point the world will hate him

That is why our parents
should mean the world to us

Your attitude to your mother is wrong

Sorry, sir

- Vanakkam, anna
- Fine...fine

Greetings, brother

'Move...move aside'

'Long live brother Gunasekar!'

- You have a royal look!
- 'Long live Gunasekar anna'

Long live Gunasekar bro!

Join together and
clap hands, all of you

- Are all of you doing good?
- Yes, sir

People, how are you?

We are fine

- Mallika?
- Yes, sir

I've instructed the water lorry to
supply water twice, morning and evening

- Okay with you?
- OKAY

I've ordered mosquito repellent
to be sprayed around all the blocks

- Bala, happy?
- Yes, sir

Whatever I have promised
I will deliver for sure

Similarly whatever you have to
give me should be paid promptly

- Do you understand?
- Of course

Is there any problem in this area?

Let me know if you are hassled
I will solve it for you

Don't show it on the votes

When you are here, bro
how will they lack anything?

What do you say?

Yes

- HEY?
- Yes...yes...yes

You don't lack any amenities
Same situation will continue

'No one has ever served us
in this way before, wow!'

Who are you?

I am taking tuition classes
in this area, sir

The students are arrested by the police
and cases are foisted on them often, sir

If you can investigate this
it will be beneficial, sir

'Their life is ruined, sir
Have pity on these students'

Okay, son

I will look into it

Give the ID #

Let me also check, tell me

I came up to Mains and
didn't clear 2 previous attempts

Stay strong

I'm always with you

Think of your mother

All the best

- Good evening, sir
- Good evening

Good evening

Hey!

[irrelevant chatter]

What do you think of yourself?
Yesterday you insulted Sullu in college

You spoke out of turn
to our leader Gunasekar anna

What do you want?

I'm taking tuition class

The boys in this area
are arrested often by the police

- That's why I brought it up
- You shouldn't speak up

Who gave you this liberty, huh?

Who gave you?
Look at me and answer

'Shouldn't act too big for your boots'

Got it into your head?

Why are you

- How dare you glare at us!
- 'Is he glaring?'

Doesn't look like he is glaring

His face isn't expressive
He is a silent mischief maker!

'Look at him
He is glaring'

I am a toddler
You are like a toy for me

Do you know how
a child handles a toy?

Hit you!

- 'Why did you hit him all of a sudden?
- He was glaring at us'

- 'Poor fellow, da
- This creature, huh?'

Please, the boys in this area
are waiting for me

I have to teach them
Let me go

One swift blow

Look at his dumb-ass face

- That was a solid blow
- Why did you stop with just one?

Watch me in action-

Sorry, sir

Lift me up, lend me a hand

- They are hitting our sir
- Come...come fast

Hey!

- No one should come forward
- 'Look at him staring blankly'

I have to teach you
a lesson you won't forget

Sullu, look how I will tweak his ear

Hey scumbag!

How many times
have I warned you, huh?

Don't go overboard in front of me

Did all that fall on deaf ears?

You think you are
God's gift to mankind?

Scumbag, I'll make you regret you are alive

Give sir a hand
Lift him up

- Careful, sir
- Gently, lift him

Sir, won't you ever get angry?

How will anger help?
You know their power, no?

Hey! When you are walking
towards your goal patiently

You will face many obstacles

You should ignore those hurdles
March on with a single minded purpose

Only then you can reach your goal

Like gamma rays

Gamma rays

It can penetrate any obstacle
and has the highest energy

- Hello?
- Taking the morning train tomorrow?

- Yes
- Cancel the train ticket

I've booked you on
the 10'o clock flight tomorrow

- Why waste money?
- You'll take 24 hours to go by train

- 'You'll be tired
- Thanks'

Hey! Come back as an IAS officer

- 'Definitely'
- All the best

- Good evening, bro
- Finished your home work?

- Where is Paramesh?
- Sullu's boys took him away

Tomorrow is Tamil exam
I asked him where he was going

They made a face at me and left

'Laughing gas' has started his session

Mitta Mohan, don't kill us
with your nonstop laughing session

[intoxicated laughter]

- What a maniacal laughter
- His screw is loose, machi

Paramesh

You have an exam tomorrow
Why are you here?

Let's go, come with me

Hey!

Why are you messing
with a boy from our area?

He has to revise for his exam tomorrow

Already we are revising here

What is your problem, man?

Can you take this boy
without my permission?

You go, I'll come later
I've finished revising, bro

Paramesh has failed thrice till now

He has to clear
the exam at least now

Hey! Get up

Dai! Stop

Talking to you
Stop, man

Hey junk-head!

Will you stop there and wait
or shall I tweak your ears?

Sorry

I lost my cool

Forgive me

"I did not get scared one bit
I am a son to reckon with"

"You will die, you heard?
You bloody fellow!"

Hey! Go and do your bit

Go and check, da

Tripping...bad omen!

Hey! What, man?

You deserve to die!

'Where is he off to?'

Don't buy trouble!

'Don't get bashed up'

Don't!

It hurts, da

Don't get bashed up

Don't bro

- Don't fight
- Let go of me

Let go, bro
We'll handle it

Listen to me

- Let' go back
- I take a vow to kill you

Hey! Woverine, come on

I'm feeling faint
Take me to a hospital

Come, hold me
Give me your hand

'He is coming towards me'

Kamal

I'm sure you know?

I was calm and silent

Convey my apologies to Sullu

I'm here only to study

The boys have an exam tomorrow

Who won't get into a rage
if their mother is maligned?

Please

Will you make Sullu understand?

Sorry, Kamal

I am aware you are saying something

But the exact words

I can't receive or realize

But whatever you say

I know is for our good, bro

Can you just make a call
for the am...ambulance?

'Don't know which of
our spare parts are broken?'

Chee! Shut up
I'll shove this into you

Drunk on the road and got into a brawl
Now you are giving me grief

Why did you get tanked and
called us to come here urgently?

This is the spot it seems

We must kill the tuition master it seems

'Is that so? He takes tuition
for my younger brother too'

'Which block is he in?'

Why are you wasting time
in idle chatter? Hurry up

Hey! Door is locked
Go and check upstairs

Where is he?

Where is the master?

Climb up, buddy

What, I say?
Found him?

Even Sullu has been bashed up
Where did all of you go?

I got high and I slept, boss

You know, the news has
reached Karna's ears

I'll blast my 'baby'
on that tuition master

I'll pump his intestines out

We will do it for sure, boss

Sir, I've already apologized to Sullu

I have to go to Delhi now
Don't create a ruckus, please

Hey! Light up our 'baby'
Let it be our signal

Why burn a baby alive?
Please don't, sir

Exam tomorrow, sir

You'll get it from m-

What is he saying?

He says even if you run
you can't nab him, uncle

- Now what is he saying?
- Even if you fly you can't get him

Grab him now

Jogging keeps a good check on sugar
My sweetheart told me so

You continue, master

[mobile ringing]

I am Karna speaking

They call me 'Conference Karna'

- Sullu was-
- I didn't do anything, sir

- They started-
- Didn't you?

You've pickled Sullu to pieces

He is in this conference call too

- Sullu, speak up
- Tell me

- Sorry
- HEY!

Sullu, patience

Bro, my boys briefed me

You are doing justice to
your job as tuition master

- Then why this violence?
- Please, sir, just let it go

I have an interview
in Delhi tomorrow

Okay...okay

Take it easy
Come to our den now

Apologize to Sullu
and you go your way

This is my offer to you

- I don't want his apology
- Sullu, keep quiet

'I'm sorting this out, right?'

Bro, you apologize and leave

I'll snap just one single bone
from your hand

'That is my offer for Sullu'

'Only way this matter can be solved'

Hello....hello?

He hung up on us!

We looked for the tuition master
whole night through, bro

Don't know which rat hole
he is hiding in

As soon as I find him
I'll squeeze and drag him

Reached the school, sir

- Front or back gate?
- Back gate

Drive straight ahead

- I'm waving my hand
- I can see you, sir

Push him in

Move it

If you come from out of town,
you should study and mind your business

Why buy trouble like this?

Karna supports Sullu

Councilor supports Karna

- Councilor has support of area, district
- You are dead meat

'Backed by an entire political party'

You'll vanish into thin air

Hey! Careful, da

Don't kill him, boys
Election is round the corner

Get down
Drag him out

One swift blow

I won't disturb you hereafter
I won't trouble you at all, sir

I have to go to Delhi
I've passed the IAS exam

It is my mother's dream, sir

'Don't hurt me, sir'

I'm a tuition master
Not involved in anything else

I gave you a great offer

You dare hang up on me!

I didn't know, sir

I don't know anything

- Throw him aside
- Get up, da

Karna, our boss doesn't know
about this matter

Then bloody well go tell him

I must attend an interview in Delhi, sir

How dare you trespass
into our area and insult us!

- No, sir
- Shall I dissect you alive?

His right hand and ribs

Break it into two, da

Sir, I have to go
Let me go

Ask them to stop
Don't hurt me, sir

Don't do this, sir

I have to go, sir

SIR, I HAVE TO GO

Let me go, sir
Please don't

Hey! Let him go

He has folded his fingers real tight

AMMA!

What does a village bumpkin
know about urban life?

Throw him into that canal

Lift him, da
Give me a hand

I'm on the way

In which river if you bathe
do you get eternal salvation?

River Cooum, Chennai

Source at Kesavaram village

Total length 72 km

Empties into the Bay of Bengal

Vijayaraghava, will you do
your amma a huge favor?

'What, ma?'

You should become a collector

Is that a favor, ma?

'I can surpass your expectations'

He isn't even as tall as a paper!

Here, extra sheet

You made sure our boys
studied and passed their exams

How did they have the heart
to bash you up like this?

They are hard core rowdies, sir

Your life is ruined now
only because of my son

Sorry, sir

It's alright

- How did you do in your exam?
- I did well, sir

Our beloved brother, move on
Your life is in shambles

If you hurt one villain
1000s of thugs multiply

No one has the guts
to support a good soul

You gave a good life to our boys
You leave with a void in our lives

Go but there's no strength in our body
to kill the thugs who broke your bone

What to do? This is our fate

Let our life continue in misery

You move on with your life
Our troubles begin only now

But convey this message of ours
to your mother definitely

She has done a good job on you!

"For some weeks in my uterus"

"For many more weeks in my dreams"

"As a bundle of love and joy
I carried you within, my boy"

"When the world turned against me
regarding me as their enemy"

"I suffered all the strife
my son, to give you life"

"Lead a righteous life bountiful
Imbibe that virtue so beautiful"

"If you swim through your sorrows
sky is the limit for your tomorrows"

"Learn to win anew
against the 'u' in yoU"

"That boat is life's theme
to make you realize yoUr dream"

"For some weeks in my uterus"

"For many months in my dreams"

"As a bundle of love and joy"

"I carried you within, my boy"

'Long live our leader
Pedha Perumal'

'Long live our heartbeat!'

'Long live our fist of power
Pedha Perumal'

'Long live our heart and soul'

[shouting slogans of praise]

'One who serves with no strings attached
believes in service unmatched'

'Accept my humble way duly
o' Lord Shiva, of praising You daily'

Welcome, District Secretary

Vanakkam

Shall we submit our nomination?

Before the auspicious time ends
I have to submit in 10 other wards

Looks like the candidates of
the opposition are in there?

Pedha Perumal has come

Welcome, District Secretary
Good to see you, ages since we met

After this election
we will meet more often

Who is that candidate?

'Lightning' star Kumar

People recognize me as
'Superstar' Minnal Kumar

Television Rating Point King

My opponent's bad luck
he is a dead duck

Hail tomorrow's chief minister
of Tamil Nadu, Minnal Kumar bro

You have accepted
a doll face this time

His serial is being telecast
at 7:30 every night

His constituency has a record
of a surplus in women votes

Families in all the houses
watch only my face every night

Hey serial! You may be in their homes

I will be in people's hearts!

'K.C.Arumugam
Zonal Officer'

- 'Don't drown in my fans' flood'
- Lord Shiva

Bless us, Lord Shiva of Kanchi
Here is our nomination

Only 2 candidates are
contesting from our ward

- Cool, eh?
- Yes, bro

Another oldie used to stand
We crushed him, made him sit down

Okay, sir, only 2 candidates
Handle the formalities and proceed

Not just 2, sir

There are 3 candidate
vying for Councilor's post

A contestant called me a while ago

He has downloaded the form online

He is coming in person
to submit his nomination

Who is that chap downloading online
and planning our downfall?

- 'Who is this?'
- Give it to me, sir

- Were you the one who called me?
- 'What is happening?'

Who is this newcomer?

Anna, tuition master of our area

'Brother'

I am Pedha Perumal

District Secretary

Hello, sir

I don't shake hands

My welcome gesture is always

Vanakkam

- Vanakkam
- Which area are you from?

I have never set eyes on you

'He is opponent party'

You are a newbie, that's why
no one knows you here

You are just now stepping
into our political arena

They will get to know you

- Where do you live?
- S.S Thottam, G block

Your home town?

A village near Kambam
I've rented a room here

Oh! Out-of-towner
What brings you here?

Fine, ours is a democratic nation

Anyone can contest anywhere

Go ahead and stand

But careful of your stance

All the best

I wish you the same

Meet you in the battlefield

Definitely

I have informed my boys

You will get a bag load next week

Sure I'll win this time too?

If you can grease more palms
we can win hands down

- What do you say?
- 'Yes...yes, bro'

He is a dust particle
You can defeat him easily

Even a glass particle is dust, Gunasekara

But if it hits right into the eye
it will become a bloody mess

Isn't blood a breeze for me?

Our bro can swim in blood coolly

'If someone tramples us'

There are only 2 ways
to overcome it

One is to escape; to run
as far away as possible

Otherwise we should
stand in the same spot

And overpower the enemy

Which side you choose to stand

You have to decide

"I will come for sure
to chisel a bright future"

"I swear it's true
I'll be there for you"

"To uphold Truth and empower
I promise I will come into power"

"Without bribing or buying people's vote
I'll come into power the honest route"

"Without religion or caste discrimination
I'll lend my shoulder with affection"

"I will come for sure, it's true
to chisel a bright future for you"

'Which side you choose to be'

'It is in your hands'

'Which side you will rule'

For our SS Thottam to
become a mini Singapore

Vote for our brother Gunasekaran

Ma, our tuition master is contesting
His symbol is pen, vote for him

'Why is this tuition master
poking his nose into politics?'

What's wrong if he contests?

He ensures my children and
boys loitering around study well

Who else has the eligibility?

How can you compare
this tuition master and councilor?

Pa, our tuition master is contesting

Why is he buying trouble
of his own accord?

What will he achieve
even if he wins?

Same sharks in the sea
No difference

We are first time voters
for this election

All of us will vote
only for our master

We lost hope on our own boys
and he reformed them

Won't he develop our area?

My vote is only for him

Tuition master is standing
in this election, akka

I don't care who stands or sits
My vote is only for Guna'nna

As per this record, each ward spends
only for water Rs 40 lakhs per annum

But thrice a week
we are fighting for water

This water tank was
erected last year

Do you know its cost?

This tank, cement, all expenses
will add around 1 to 1.5 lakhs, sir

Accounts shown is 7 lakhs
viz a viz 1.5 lakhs

1 crore 78 lakhs

There are 24 water tanks in this area

Isn't this daylight robbery
behind our back?

District secretary has given this
for election expenses

- Okay, bro
- I need 30 for my services

- Moneygrubber!
- Spend the rest like water!!

Grease palms and make me win

I need another 2 million
Give that to me

It is decreasing here and
increasing at your end, bro

My bag is big
Your mouth is big!

'Request from Chennai police force'

'Since it is election time
giving or taking bribes is a crime'

'If violated, strict measures will be
taken by the Election Commission'

'Water can, akka'

'Do not sell your votes'

Vote for Guna anna

'Vote for Guna anna'

'Vote for Guna anna'

It isn't only stench
emitted from dirty gutters

Deadly diseases that kill men too

That's why Rs 35 crores is sanctioned by
Slumboard Drainage Maintenance per year

But look at the maintenance

Wrongdoers alone are not
responsible for this unhygienic state

Even we are to blame
for turning a blind eye

Only when we reform, the nation
will march to a better tomorrow

'More than the anguish I bore,
the pain that hasn't healed till now'

'...is the fact could not develop
my village as I had intended'

Believing you will make
my dream come true

'I am still holding on
to my last breath'

Amma, I cleared my exam

"I will come for sure for you
to chisel a bright future anew"

"To uphold Truth without fear or favor
I promise I will come into power"

"Without bribing or buying people's vote
I'll come into power the honest route"

"Without religion or caste discrimination
I'll lend my shoulder with affection"

"I will come with utmost temerity
to set right all the wrongs for eternity"

"Erupting like a volcano with potency
I will peel the layers of conspiracy"

- Success
- Success!!

"You've been too patient, change is overdue
Rewrite history with a new chapter anew"

"Even if the whole world revolts in unison
act without retreating into submission"

"Delete your party's yes men, alright?
If cruelty raises its head, shoot at sight"

"Without withdrawing, though sleep deprived
drive out the wolves that thrived"

"If we are subjugated by slavery and strife
a new dawn will never adorn our life"

"Even if violence is at its peak sky-high
righteousness will never die"

"We'll extend our finger against villainy"

"We'll change the course of destiny"

"We will establish justice"

"We will guide without prejudice"

"We'll extend our finger against villainy
We'll change the course of destiny"

"We will establish due justice
We will guide with sincere service"

You think you can oppose our bro?

Did you swallow our brother
Minnal Kumar's votes? Tell me

Hey! I'll break your skull, get lost!

'Results of the 2nd round'

'Results of the 3rd round'

TMK candidate Gunasekaran

We can leave

PPK candidate M.Minnal Kumar

Independent candidate Vijayaraghavan

Bro, we didn't win by 7 votes

We have lost by 7 votes

Vijayaraghavan has won
as councilor of ward 145

"I will come for sure for you
to chisel a bright future anew"

"To uphold Truth without fear or favor
I promise I will occupy the seat of power"

If you should feel so terrible
I should have died by now

We thought you
were dead, bro

Luckily by God's grace
nothing untoward happened

Bro, the day he set foot
in the college, he spelt trouble

On the very 1st day he got kicked by Sullu

Sullu snitched to Karna
because he was hostile to Sullu

They threw him
into that stinky canal

But he became people's favorite

Imagine bashing him up!

Then you are the sole reason
for my defeat in this election

You just get permission
for a piece of News to be headlines

- I'll handle him
- What news?

In broad daylight in Chennai

Councilor was hacked to pieces
in a gruesome manner

'Before we get tricked in the end
not knowing our enemy is with us'

'We should get the enemy
on our side to achieve our goal'

But the most important factor

'You should identify your enemy'

Nothing should be sanctioned in any ward
without the knowledge of our party or me

- How are you, madam?
- I am good

Bro, that councilor of #145
is calling me from the morning

Bro, how odd
Why is he calling you?

Anna

Sir, I am Vijayaraghavan
Councilor of ward #145

Even though I won
as an independent candidate

I need your support, sir
I'm calling to receive your wishes

'For novices like me in politics
you are an exemplary hero, sir'

I will always depend
on your support, sir

You are my inspiration

'I wish to be in touch
with you always, sir'

'Only you should guide me, sir'

'You will find plenty of people with
bad intentions in the places you visit'

'They will try to harm you'

'Do panic or be
perturbed by anything'

'Be a good person in the midst
of these bad people'

'Because if a villain puts his mind to it
he can win the rules of this game'

'But if a good soul puts his heart to it'

'He can defeat even that villain'

I am happy to see you all

Who are the new councilors here?

Your name?

Vijayaraghavan

'Ward # 145, sir'

You are here for the first time

Do you have any
faaar-sighted ideas?

The amount we intend spending
from the councilor's fund

Common man should know

I don't understand

Like how we are aware of our
debit and credit in our personal accounts

We are notified directly
on our mobiles

Similarly, in every area
the head of the family

...should be notified directly of
the sum sanctioned and the expenses

I intend connecting all the people
with direct message from the bank

The accounts should be absolutely
transparent and accessible

[scornful laughter]

Hey! What did you say?

Will you announce everything openly?

If all of us assembled here
show everything openly

Doomsday for everyone

He is a school kiddo!

My dear brother!
Are you out of your mind?

Sit down
Totally bonkers!

Sit down

All of you be calm, sit down

Are you making
a joke out of politics?

How will you tell the people the amount
sanctioned by the Govt and amount spent?

It is a complicated process

If only you do this, sir,
you will become a great achiever

You will have a permanent place
in our people's hearts forever

Try your sweet-talking tactics
on someone else, not me

If what you say has to fructify
we need Mayor's approval

Corporation commissioner and
Zonal chairman have to approve

Phew! It drains me to even
list out the officers we have to ask

- Sir, this is Kuberan
- Greetings, sir

Road and Light contractor
for wards # 144, 145 and 146

He is Thanikachalam

He handles Waste and other matters

This is Purushothaman
Our water deity!

They will be your right hand,
left hand, back hand and toe the line, sir

I am presuming sir will get
what I am implying

All gain, no pain
Have the cake and eat it too

Mr Kuberan

There are 5 roads in ward #145
Road to be laid is 600 meter

'Without eroding in any storm
and strong enough to last a decade'

Actually there should be
42 electricity poles

But hard fact, just 27 exist
And even in that, 9 don't function

You have to collect the trash
between 6:00 and 7:00 a.m daily

Before the residents leave for work
this task should be completed

If the wind blows, only the leaves
on the trees should rustle

- Not trash on the roads
- What if a storm hits us?

Even if a storm hits us
there should be no trash that flies

Mr Purushothaman, there should be
4 lorries supplying water every week

But you send only 2 lorries
I don't know your procedure earlier

But I should see 4 lorries
per week on the dot

Take your time and work out
a budget with my requisites

Why do we have to work out?
We are used to oral accounting

5 lakhs for laying the road, sir

We can set aside 4 lakhs
for this ward, you and me, sir

Then 3 lakhs for police station,
corporation, kickbacks

Totally we can round it off
as Rs 12 lakhs, sir

Then bulb account
Each costs Rs 42, sir

We can show it as Rs 80

We can change 4 bulbs every week
claiming we are replacing them

'We need approximately
about 2 years, sir'

'We can make around 4 lakhs, sir'

1 load of water is only Rs 1800

As per our contract we can
stretch it and sign up as Rs 2500

This accounting
will fetch about 12 lakhs

We can clinch it for Rs 15 lakhs

Sir, waste is in our hands
It is what we decide

'We can show existing waste
as nonexistent and vice versa too'

'It is just mind over waste matter!'

'Our department differs from theirs, sir'

You can easily state a budget
I can be flexible

I'll give you 30%
only for you, sir

So Mr Kuberan,
only for road Rs 5 lakhs

Electricity is 2 lakhs

Mr Purushothaman,
1 load is Rs 1200 for you

Calculate your account based on this
Whatever is extra we can deal officially

Waste is not what you or I decide

It has to fit into the sum
our Govt sanctions

There's no room for kickbacks
What is left for us, sir?

If you spend in a just manner
you will be able to see legal profit!

Are you trying to be funny, sir?

What is this, man?
Why is he laying down new rules?

We are managing this area
for the past 10-15 years with ingenuity

There are many middle men
in between you and me

Do you know our plight
if they get tense and rebel?

'Line your pocket well, sir
This is the most lucrative area'

'Sanction will be in the blink of an eye'

Budget is what I have specified

If you can work in
this budget, go ahead

Otherwise I can manage

What do you say?

In another week
whatever change expect

I should see in reality

'TMK'

'Will anna give me a slice
like he's giving everyone?'

Didn't you win
because of me?

Then this cake is for me

Why have all those who lost
gathered here?

I'm asking you,
good-for-nothing scumbags!

Did you properly distribute
the pay-off I gave you?

Yes, bro, just as you asked me to

- Vouch for me
- Yes, bro

He lost giving half to his men
and the rest to the common man

The strength of the liar holds good

Only till the man in front of him
knows the honest to God truth!

Once he gets to know

He will treat you
worse than a two-bit coin

I need permission from you

I intend closing the councilor's chapter

You are not in the position
to announce Breaking News

Do only what I order you to

Do this instead

We have lost in 72 wards

Of which 9 are
Independent candidates

Talk to that youngster and
ask him to join our Party

'Ward # 145 Development
And Planning Survey'

9021 families live here

I want to listen to each of
their problems and solve them

I will open 9021 files

Do you want to meet each family?

Is this even possible?

If each family tells you their problems

Not just 5 minutes, even 5 hours
won't be enough for you

Don't you agree with me, tailor?

[stuttering]

My dear, did you notice
that tuition master's guts?

Soooper win, most unexpected

I think he will do good for us

They are all same
rotten apples in the cart

What will he achieve?

'Just because he picked up
trash for a few days'

'Taught some boys
and made them pass'

'You women voted for him'

And made him councilor

Previous councilor built himself a house
stealing our money, so will this chap

I am taking a survey of the problems
the people in this area are facing

If you let me know of any problem
in your house or outside

I'll try and solve it for you

I have enough problems at home, sir

- Forget that
- Hey! Shut up

What do you want?

If you share
your problem with me

My problem is thanks to
the earlier councilor just like you

If you are straightforward
everything will work smoothly

But I have no faith you can be honest
in the midst of these scumbags

Do you want anything
changed in this area?

Is anyone in your family
having health issues?

Is your family getting enough income?

I manage to make ends meet
by selling 'samosas'

The boys here get drugged
and create a ruckus

If I complain to the police
they demand a commission from me

How will I manage, sir?

First change this, sir

Who are you to ask me
about my domestic issues?

My party men are so mad
they are ready to kill you

- Just go
- Sir, that's how he will talk

What to do?
He lost his job

If there is any job opening
please take him in, sir

'16th Main Road
SS Thottam Playground'

'Educational centers'

'Industries'

If you want to know the truth

I am burning inside

My boys should have
killed you right then

They spared you

'You had a narrow escape'

Whatever happened can't be
reversed now, but listen to me

Just join our Party quietly

Big boss Pedha Perumal
wishes the same

We can work hand in glove
towards the same goal

You have a bright future
You can mint money

No, sir

I'm happy on my own

On your own?

That means?

- Single
- Single, huh?

You will die, they will make sure
you end up as a corpse

If an ex-councilor has the gall to
enter an active councilor's office

And threaten him

Under Section 506/1
and Section 506/2

You can go behind bars

Camera

Not just the video
Even audio is recorded

I have never activated all this
when I was occupying your seat

Our work is such

So what is your decision in the end?

There is no end

I have just begun

Shall I convey the same?

Include what I intend
telling you now also

Both school and college students

Everyone is into drugs

Not only this ward

I am well aware only your men
supply drugs to all the wards

If you set your mind to it
this can be stopped

To stop this drug trafficking
in all the other wards is my request

To stop it in my ward

My order!

Whom are you ordering?

How dare you!

This is our area
We sowed the seeds

I will destroy you

Come on, I say

Sir, you came in barefoot

He doesn't enter
the office with slippers

Such is his devotion to work

How did you have the heart
to defeat him, wretched fellow!

You can walk in with
your shoes into this office?

If the path you choose is pure

Hey! Didn't go to college?

I didn't go
So what now?

First focus on your studies
Finish your MBA course

I don't want to study

What will you do, huh?

I want to talk to your father
Go and bring him

What do you want to talk, huh?

Tell me

I don't approve of your moves
Stop hitting on me

Shall I let you go, huh?

- Let go
- You want me to?

If you keep filling pot after pot
how will I get my share?

You dare raise your hand
I'll punch your damn face

Akka, I don't have water to wash
my child's back after she craps

We don't have drinking water
and you want water to wash a back!

We trusted you
and voted for you

Will water be supplied
to this area or not?

Sir, we don't have water to even cook

When on earth will we get water?

[overlap of angry voices]

Poor Thanikachalam!
Is he Varuna, God of Rain?

'Blame your mother
But bless the rain God'

They will always demand more water

Look how diligent
Purushothaman is

He has maintained it so purely

What more cleaning do you want?

I can see my own
handsome face clearly

Sir, you can't bear the stink, huh?

Before winning the election
you promised the sky and the earth

You showed survey paper
you spoke like a hero, sir

Now what? Go away, sir
You are no better than them

If Guna bro had won, he would've
transformed our area into a mini Singapore

You promised to change it into
a mini Japan and mini Singapore

And here we are sinking
into deeper gloom

All are frauds
No difference at all

1 minute, dear

What is this, man?

Side of the road is 6"
and mid road is only 3"

Look how the engineer has tricked us
Built the road like an arch!

He must have had arrears, sir!

Poor Kuberan, sir

They would have swindled him
because he is illiterate, sir

Welcome, sir

Your auspicious entry
has blessed us with rain

Chennai city won't have
shortage of water at all

Sir, you called us urgently it seems?

What, sir?

Don't utter a word

I am boiling mad
at the three of you

- Why, sir?
- Don't speak a word

- Sir
- Hey!

Do you call this a road?

What is this? Slopes from
6" on the side to 3" in the middle

What have you laid?
You asked for 5 lakhs and I gave

Didn't I tell you about
the 5 lakh kickback, sir?

I sanctioned 5 lakhs
without kickback!

Sir, you gave without
providing a kickback

In 5 lakhs, we gave 3 lakhs as pay off
We have laid the road in 2 lakhs

- That's how it can be done
- It is all well designed

This is the usual practice

- Hello?
- I'm councilor Vijayaraghavan speaking

None of our contractors
are doing a good job

Only if they are honest

'People will trust me'

Similarly, water, waste, road,
PWD work, slum board, clearance

Everything is in pending status

If you put in a word
it will move forward

- Please, anna
- When will you join my Party?

If I develop everything to an extent
I will gain people's trust fully

If I join your party with their trust
it will be to your advantage, bro

- See you soon, brother
- Okay, let me see

Who was that, dear?

That independent councilor Vijayaraghavan

- What does he want?
- Turning into a true politician!

Thank you very much
for accepting my request, doctor

Somebody or the other is dying
due to lack of medical aid

We get to know the problem
only after they die

If we had checked earlier
they could have been saved

Submit your report in every house
after checking all of them

We need to know
how healthy each family is

My men will assist you
with whatever you need

Definitely, sir

'Ward #145 SSThottam
has been selected'

'...as the best ward by
the Governor of Tamil Nadu'

This has also been tweeted by the Governor

[overlap of angry voices]

- Listen to me
- I have to see him

I have been very patient

Are you avoiding me
because I lost?

Why are you behaving like this?

Did you see how he has threatened
the contractors with severe repercussions?

If I want to meet you
I'm not allowed inside

He won't even allow his wife
in here at this time!

Bro, I should have killed him then

My bad! I didn't complete my task

Dai! You spineless crow

More than you bashing him up

The news of him making mincemeat of you
has spread like wild fire in that area

Correct, Gunasekara?

Brother, the people are
ridiculing me mercilessly

I will kill him right away

If you kill him now

Not only you
In that area lifelong

No one from our Party
can win in that ward

Governor has praised this ward and
tweeted it seems, our boys told me

My intestine is burning

I feel something is churning within me

- For you?
- Me too, bro

- Yes, anna
- Same feeling

That feeling is called jealousy!

- Bang on, 'na
- Mind it!

Governor's plan is the idea
of the opponent Party

Shall I tell you something else?

Governor will be seeing him in person

- Our brother is having a heart attack
- Call the ambulance

Congrats, Vijayaraghavan

Your ward has been selected as
the fastest developing ward in Tamil Nadu

I have selected it!

It is praiseworthy you have achieved
this much as an Independent candidate

Thank you very much, sir

I didn't do much
I just did my duty

[Hindi] Yes, my son

You are discharging your duty

But I heard the ruling party is
not allowing you to do a good job

Whatever it is

You can contact them

You will get our complete support

Opposition is also just like you

Party that works for people's welfare

Why don't you join
and work with them?

Since they rule at the Center also
you will get full cooperation

The scheme you want

Welfare offer, posting, et al

They will do the needful

You can serve the people even more
with their help, without any hindrance

Just think about it, Vijayaraghavan

Do you recognize him?

He is the Governor

Watch your step, my dear man

No waste at all
What is he cleaning?

He is purifying the wind it seems!

Shall I have a word with the Governor?

- Within 40 sq ft
- Note it down

[mobile ringing]

- Brother
- Your time is up

Join my Party this week, I can arrange
a grand function in your own ward

I need some more time, bro
Only 1 year since I was elected

I'll join in a year's time

It is so damn one-sided
If you alone keep using me

...then how do I benefit from you, da?

Just some more grace time, bro
For your younger brother's sake!

What is he saying?

Now he is a die-hard politician!

Legal document of your house

- Has a cement floor?
- Yes, sir

We are sons of the soil

Bless us, poor homeless souls

What to do? Your birth and
non-eligibility make you a nomad

A man is eligible
by his hard work

Not by his birth

Mind your bloody fucking words

Sir, district secretary has come

Pedha perumal is
coming to meet you, sir

He is a big-shot in Chennai

Don't sit in your chair
when he comes, sir

He won't approve of it

You sit here in this chair, sir

He can sit here like this, sir

This was the practice when
the previous councilor was in power

He prefers only black coffee, sir
I'll go and buy black coffee

Sir, please be diplomatic

Vanakkam, thambi

Tell me, sir

I can tell by looking at the neighborhood
how good your performance is

You aren't anyone's favorite

But I like you

That's why I have come in person

Our Party is like an octopus
with countless tentacles

'Our network has enormous clout'

We have influence
right up to the Center

My men are spread worldwide

Do what you think you need to

What should I do, sir?

Whatever you are doing now
do the same in my Party

I'll give you enough clout in my area

No, thank you, sir

Opposition also made this same request

I am unable to fulfil my dream
even when I am Independent

If I join your Party
or the Opposition

I'll be perched on a balance scale

Only when you sit on the scales
will you know which side has weight

Our job is not to sit on the scales

We should serve the people
seated on the tip of the needle

If the needle pierces
it is bound to hurt

- Can't balance if bothered by the pain
- You have to choose one side or the other

If you choose to stand in the center
you will be squashed by both sides

If I want to join your Party
I'll do so with pleasure

'Give me some more time, anna'

Thank you for asking me in person

Using violence on trouble makers
is bloody roadside politics

I don't like it

But unfortunately I do that

Till date wherever I go
and whatever I ask

It will fructify either immediately
or within reasonable time frame

'But you have crossed
both the time frames'

Your time is almost up

Sir, I want a small favor from you

What is this one more favor, da?

In the Corporation office

Past 1 month, I've been
struggling to get things done

If you can use your clout and
get 5 lorry loads of water per week

I'll be truly grateful

I'll put in a word, 'thambi'

Our leader has stepped out

Bro, what did he say?

You can't ever win
in this area in your lifetime

What are you saying, bro?

- How long have you been living here?
- From the day I was born

- Hey bro
- What, sir?

- Who is he?
- Ex- councilor

- Do you have his phone #?
- I saw him in the last election

'I'm seeing him only now'

Present councilor's #?

99-62-44-13-40

Understand now?

Where are you off to, bro?

To the play ground to check
the gym equipment

I can drop you in my car

- No, thank you, sir
- Why?

If I walk across
I can talk to my people

Hereafter you just stick to
ground work in the Party

What does that mean, bro?

Be just a volunteer

Just because
you asked us to

I sanctioned Vijayaraghavan's 7 schemes

'Now he has 36 new demands'

He is teaching me
my powers as the mayor

We have a kickback rate per demand

You asked us to comply to all his pleas

Stop the permission of
all new Slum Board projects

He has tie-ups with NGOs
and Corporate companies

Corner him with the excuse
he is neck-deep in corruption

Inform our friends in the Opposition

'Ridicule and insult him'

He should know we are his only hope
to get him out of this mess

Let me wait and watch
who will be his savior now!

'Come, my wafer thin do gooder!'

[flurry of angry voices]

You've pushed everyone too far
They are boiling mad at you

'Today, Friday, 10:05 hours'

Let the councilors begin this debate
by maintaining decorum

Hey Vijayaraghava

If you think you're a big gun
you'll be dead meat, man

[overlap of angry voices]

Sit down...sit down

Silence
Sit down...sit down

Vijayaraghavan, what is this?

It seems you are taking kickbacks
using your tie-up with NGOs

So many accusations
are being flung at you

'Both Parties have complained against you'

And you've given a plan
for your next project

[overlap of angry voices]

Silence! Stop it
Quiet...all of you

What do you think of yourself?

Money doesn't grow
on trees for the Govt

For us to dole out freebies

You are playing the fool
hand in glove with shady tie-ups

We need an enquiry on him

We demand an enquiry

Silence! Silence!!

Before your entry
our area was flourishing

You are thick as thieves with our people
to aid all your fraudulent dealings

- Yov! Listen to me while I speak
- Sit down...sit down

Shall we speak and settle
or go in for a battle?

Do you want it in here or outside?

- Tell me, bro
- Why are you glaring, da?

You love creating a scene
Now give a suitable reply

Vijayaraghavan, get up and speak

'O drum, beat your love loud & clear'

'All men are born equal here'

'Happiness will multiply
if everyone unites to solidify'

'Can the strong swallow the weak
Is that fairplay to the meek?'

30 years ago
when you started your Party

You claimed to have adopted
Tamil poet Bharati's words as your goal

Has it changed now?

Have you discriminated
the poor and the needy?

Have all the students been
given the same education?

SS Thottam

My ward

Genuine people with good hearts

Even if they don't have much
they always reach out to help

But 70% of the youngsters
living there are jobless

Students who want to study
and come up in life

Only because of poverty can't even
afford a decent education

They don't get proper food
They have no water either

My predecessors didn't attend to this

Why?

Due to their inability or insecurity
these youngsters will start thinking?

Feeling insecure
you won't get votes

Wanting them to be dependent on
your measly bribes during election

You have ensured
they stay below poverty line

Previously in my ward
4348 youngsters had no jobs

In this 1 year of being
elected as the councilor

Only 185 people are yet to be hired

That number too will soon reduce

Only 15% of the students
passed 12th grade previously

But now there are no school drop-outs

Not even 1 student has failed

In my area in the 9021 families

Per capita income has increased by 20%

In 1 ward, state, district
or in our entire nation

Even if 1 person is below poverty line

It means we haven't progressed

What change are you preaching about?

'We are working for our people too
Don't brag too much'

Survey # 730

Canal flowing alongside
North East Kanniamman Kovil street

...to Navalar street has not
been dredged for one whole year

But funds have been sanctioned
6 times to clean that canal

Yov! Someone must have misappropriated
So will you blame all of us in toto?

You can't bear my blows
I'm warning you

That canal is parts of ward #53

That councilor is Mr Parandhaman

And that is YOU!

Ask the common man
about your growth

Ask your men about my blows!

A man who was a tenant
before he won this seat

Owns 10 bungalows, 2 guest houses
after becoming the councilor

Plus 2 BMWs, 1 Fortuner
and 10 Innova cars

Daily 'bata' and food
allowances for 30 of his men

HOW DID HE EARN
TO AFFORD ALL THIS?

A councilor whose job is voluntary has to
pay 10 million to the Party to get his seat

Seat of an MLA whose salary is 1 lakh
is bought for 15 crores

Member of Parliament 25 crores

Total how many millions and billions?

We know only too well what
they will suck up to after they win!

Sorry, hon'ble Mayor

I know how much even YOU paid
to get the seat you are occupying now

Hey! How dare you rattle-

THIS IS MY TIME!

And you have no rights to stop me

Every single time the people
make a politician win the election

And they are losing their life

We have all sinned

We have all sinned big time
Honorable mayor

Betrayal

Treachery of the worst kind

We should change the system

How much money is being sanctioned?

Does it reach the people
without pilferage?

The best service in this world
is that of a politician towards his people

Whether the Gods take
an avatar or not

We can save the people
if we set our minds to it

Change everything

This city of Chennai can be
changed just like my ward

Then the entire nation
will change for the better

We should make it change

Thanks for allowing my words,
Honorable mayor

Please accept my request
towards my ward's development

Thank you

- Hey
- Hon'ble mayor

He gave us an impassioned sermon
for so long, right?

- Yes, mayor
- All that must have been recorded

- Delete it
- Okay, mayor

I had corrected and mailed
the tender you gave, did you check it?

Sir, we have corrected
and brought it now

Not bad, that was very quick

'Letter of Resignation'

- What is this?
- Wait, you will get to know

Sir...? Yes, we are here
I'll give the phone to him

Sir, Pedha PerumaL
District secretary

'Bro, I asked you to join my party
But you turned a deaf ear to my request'

'Actually I like you, thambi'

'But I don't like you
being the councilor'

'Best thing for you to do is to sign
the resignation letter in front of you'

Hey! Don't let anyone inside

What, Arulmozhi?

I'm getting calls from
highest authorities

Where did you send your son?

He is councilor now it seems, huh?

I assigned amateurs to the task
of finishing you off for good

They left you burning

A professional will wait and check
the embers by piercing it!

I told you right then
to assign Aanakatti boys

- Amma
- Grab him

What are you doing?
Lend me a hand, nab him

[overlap of angry voices]

Hold him tight

'Your phone is ringing
Pick it up and speak'

- Hello?
- Listen, machan

Sukumar and gang have barged in
and are holding your mother captive

'I have no idea what's happening'

'Just sign, my boy'

'It has been ages since I exited
all these coercing tactics in politics'

'I have chosen the philosophical path'

'Don't dirty my hands'

'Take a video of your resignation'

'Send it to the Zonal chairman,
Mayor and all officials'

Sad you were born as a female

If you had just toed the line
to what we told you to do

And simply lined your pocket
instead of acting righteous

You would be well settled

But now no matter how much
you struggle, you cannot win!

Because you have nothing to brag
It is all burnt to cinders

Even if you win
you will lose one day

I won't die without watching your downfall

What did you say?
You wretched female!

'Just sign over there, sir'

[mobile ringing]

- Hello?
- 'Machan?'

How is my mother?

Nothing to worry
They came, threatened her

They told her you had resigned
and then they left

- Let me talk to amma
- Will you call a little later?

Okay, I am leaving right away

Inform amma I will
see her tomorrow morning

'Listen'

THEY BROKE YOUR MOTHER'S HAND

COME, FACE ME

Councilor of your area has resigned

Hereafter what we say is law

Has your fear vanished, da?

Sissy bloody creatures!

How did you have the heart
to let down the people of our area?

My mother

"For some weeks in my uterus"

"For many months in my dreams"

"As a bundle of love and joy"

"I carried you within, my boy"

They broke her hand

Amma

"If you swim through your sorrows"

All of you, please forgive me
I didn't want to let you down

Forgive me

"Learn to win anew
against the 'u' in yoU"

I'll fall at your feet and beg forgiveness

"To make you realize your dream
that boat is life's theme"

Bro, you have lost your area!

I told you right then

As soon as he won, we should have
dissected him and pickled him to pieces

I asked you permission to pull
his intestines out and garland you

Now he has filed in nomination
for Member of Legislative Assembly

Why did you go and harass him?

Why the hell did you poke your nose?

Don't you know nothing should move
without my permission in Chennai city?

Dai! I am a hard core politician

I know what to do
and when from A to Z

What do you know about politics?

You are after all a rowdy
who grasps a rusted bloody knife!

Get lost!

Won't those who are integrity conscious
get the right opportunity, ma?

Only miscreants should buy
opportunity and situation for a price

But those who are upright and honest
come what may, even in the worst of times

Opportunity will knock at
their door of its own accord

The opportunity I got is you

One day it will fall
into place for you too

We haven't decided the candidates
for 2 more constituencies, sir

Tomorrow is the last day
for filing in the nomination

Pedha Perumal, I handed over
Chennai in your hands

We should have won
200/200, Pedha Perumal

We lost 71 seats

Legislative Assembly election
is round the corner

What is your plan?

If we perform well this time
it will be our rule once more, sir

In Sholinganallur constituency alone
the candidate hasn't been finalized

We lost there even last time

- Important constituency
- You are right, sir

We can nominate our Palani
as candidate for this constituency

Our Party doesn't have
a good name in that constituency

Give me that book

Vijayaraghavan

'India's best ward'

'Vijayaraghavan's fort
likely to be Sholinganallur'

'Best ward councilor'

If we need to win here
he shouldn't contest

According to our I.T Wing analysis
this chap has a good track record

Sir, just like you said, we can win
for sure if he doesn't contest

We are already at loggerheads with him

We have forced him to resign
from his councilor's post

Look, Perumal

He should not contest
That's your responsibility

I forced you to resign
your councilor seat

Now you are contesting
to become an MLA

Decisions are of course
subject to change anyway

You can enjoy both sunrise and sunset

An apartment in Adyar

60 million
For you

A guest house in ECR
for you to relax

Worth 100 million

30 million in cash

A small gift for your bright future

Withdraw, Vijayaraghavan

I know, Vijayaraghavan

Integrity and honesty
flow in your blood and genes

If this continues, you may have
to watch your blood spill quite often

Being straightforward
is a severe crime

If being straightforward is a crime

I will keep committing
that crime repeatedly

Your integrity and honesty will
spill and kill you, Vijayaraghavan

Withdraw your nomination paper

I have many murders
to my credit, Vijayaraghavan

You have no other option

If you refuse, you, this girl and
your mother who is already half burnt

I will destroy all three of you
in the next 10 seconds

Sign this goddamn paper
and get out of politics

Won't you listen to your elder brother?

That's how a younger brother behaves, da

Hitting me from the back?

This is why I hate girls

Come, hurry up

[mobile ringing]

- Hello?
- Hello, Bala

Just listen to what I'm saying

I've mailed my personal details to you

Type eci.gov.in

Download Form 20D
Member of the Legislative Assembly

Take a print out

Fill it up so I can contest
as an Independent candidate

What are they saying about us
in the adjacent constituency?

Full of praises, sir

1 candidate can contest from
2 constituencies, you know, Bala?

Hey! He has come with his girl
to our basement, block him

Come to our Zonal office with the form

Don't use the front entrance

- Enter through the rear
- Okay, sir

Block him, he's moving up
from B3 to Basement 2

Hey! Where are you?

Block him

'Watch out'

- Sir
- Who are you?

- Coming from the rest room side
- Still have time to submit

Accept my nomination
Please, sir

- Aadhar Card?
- Page 4, sir

- Local residents' signature
- Page 8, sir

- Documents in order
- Thank you, sir

Why are you taking a snap?

Just as a safety measure, sir
Smile, please

I swear I will be a dutiful citizen and
attend to people's welfare with integrity

You filed your nomination?
One who is above will come down

One who is down will go up

Shall I answer back?

If one goes behind
another will come in front

That means?

Bro, he has filed in the adjacent
Velachery constituency also

Don't do anything to him in public

Maintain low key profile
I'll handle him later

Sullu

- Anna, Karna stabbed him
- Whaaat!?

You won't die

I've pierced you
without touching your liver

This is a promotion
for you to become an MLA

He claimed I don't know politics,
I am a rowdy and derided me

They forget politicians emerge
only because of rowdies!

I will go to jail

You get ready to occupy your seat of power

All the best, bro

Tuition master was stabbed it seems

Someone stabbed
my tuition master, ma

- Why?
- Someone stabbed our master

He is contesting in the MLA election
That's why they stabbed him

'We must vote only for him, okay?'

'Filing of nomination for
the Assembly Election ends today'

'In the Chennai Legislative Assembly
constituency in Sholinganallur'

'Vijayaraghavan who came
to file his nomination...'

'...was stabbed by the members
of the ruling Party'

If he had been left untouched
he would've contested for only 1 seat

Now he is contesting
in 2 constituencies

The Press will rip our Party to pieces
if you kill him after he wins the election

Election time

Put the lid on your tactics
till the results are announced

He will be alive only till
the results are announced, sir

'Please don't worry'

'Peaceful and brisk polling is underway
in 234 constituencies in Tamil Nadu'

'People are voting with immense enthusiasm'

'Voter turnout is expected to be around
70-75% by the end of this evening'

'Votes polled today will be counted
as early as next week'

'And results will be announced'

Hey Arunlmozhi

Where is your son hiding?

I have been ordered
to finish off both of you

The others may bungle the task
So I have come in person

[mobile ringing]

- Hello
- Sir

'In Ambur, Nanguneri
where we usually win'

'Election Commission has stopped
the counting of votes, sir'

When Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly
elections are being held today

'Election Commission had stopped
vote-counting in Nanguneri & Ambur'

'TMK leader and Chief Minister
of Tamil Nadu Raja Manickam'

''...is on the way
to his Party office'

'Long live our leader!'

'Long live people's leader'

Election Commission has stopped
the counting of votes in 2 constituencies

Do you think it will affect your Party?

This is a conspiracy by Opposition
and the Central Govt

We will definitely win this time too

[shouting slogans]

'In Kanchipuram, Dharmapuri, Coimbatore,
Tiruppur, we are behind by 13 seats, sir'

Sir, statistics show

- Equal win to both the Parties
- Whaat?

Don't give me all these silly excuses

I know the legalities too

What is the status of the stay order?
Will it be cancelled or not?

All going on oiled wheels?

So far so good

But Opposition is leading
in 25 constituencies

If this trend continues

...their respective candidates
will win in those places

We estimated a solid win of 130 seats

There is a likelihood of a 'hung assembly'

If both of us win 115 seats

Vote counting has been
stopped in 2 constituencies

We need the support of
the winners of 2 constituencies

Only then we can form the Govt

We have to bring those candidates
to our side for sure

Who is that?

Vijayaraghavan!

"One in a million is he
Son of the poor and needy"

"Sworn enemy of spies and partisans
who divide the nation into factions"

"One in a billion
Warrior against anger

"Sworn enemy of spies and partisans
who divide the nation into factions"

"He will take steps to change the quality
of those below poverty line in reality"

"To make you less weary
your woes in his heart he will carry"

"He will make the vile villains suffer
Ensure their heads roll in the gutter"

"Born for you, he will make your life cozy
Remove the thorns to make your path rosy"

"One in a zillion is he"

'Counting of votes has started
for the Assembly elections'

'Independent candidate Mr Vijayaraghavan,
previously councilor of #145 ward'

'...is leading in both his constituencies'

'Both his opponents may even
lose their deposit'

'Vijayaraghavan seems to be
winning by a thumping majority'

'Both the big parties are struggling
to get a majority to set up a Govt'

'Ex-councilor Vijayaraghavan'

Sullu's friends, get up

Hey! Sit down

- Please leave me alone
- Sullu, what happened?

'Vijayaraghavan's win is almost certain'

'We have to wait and watch if this victory
will change the history of Tamil Nadu'

Before we bring him over
Opposition may convince him

Don't we have one of
our spies in their camp?

- Check with him
- Okay, sir

They are trying to contact Vijayaraghavan

Sir, already they have tried
to reach Vijayaraghavan

But he didn't pick their call

Media is claiming a probable
Hung Assembly, sir

Headlines is the Governor may take over

Prime minister has been
in touch with the Governor

Power should neither go to the Governor
nor to the Opposition party

- Legal department, what are you doing?
- They planned and got a stay order

We can squash it anyhow

'But they will drag it for a week'

How can we wait for a week
without being in power?

Is Vijayaraghavan leading
in both his constituencies?

In Shollinganallur
and Velachery

His win is confirmed, sir

- What is it?
- We called Vijayaraghavan

He didn't pick
We are trying

'We will contact him in a while'

On one side they have stopped
counting of votes in 2 constituencies

On the other side, a random dude
has won hands down in 2 constituencies

We shouldn't lose our power

He'll finish off half our men
filing all the cases in the world!

Give him whatever he asks
Go right now

'Clinch the deal with Vijayaraghavan'
- Yes, sir

'All these years I sat
inside these 4 walls'

'Not because the sun's rays will
harm my already burnt skin'

'The pain that hasn't healed more than
the pain when they tried to burn me'

'The angst I could not help
the people of my village'

'I am still alive and breathing
to see you fulfil my wish'

I am the treasurer
from TMK party speaking

Looks like you will win in both
your constituencies, congratulations

'We will give you 30C'

'We are fine with cash'

Or any bank in any country is fine

'Our party needs your support, okay?'

'Negotiable, we can stretch it to 40C'

Okay?

'We will pay you 50C now'

As soon as we form the Govt

Balance 50 crores, you'll get
total 100 crores, okay?

Whatever it is
text me the numbers

He wants us to send him
a formal message

Pedha Perumal

There is some problem
between our Party men and him

You said that is why
he got into politics

What was that issue?

Our boys pushed him
from his seat in college

Do you know the seat he is asking
for being pushed off that seat?

Chief minister's seat!

'If I am CM, then okay'

'Tamil Nadu Munettra Katchi'

How can some random chap be CM?

- You are our Chief Minister, sir
- Let's kill 5 MLAs from the Opposition

We will only win in the constituencies
where vote counting has been stopped

But when we cancel the Stay order

And count the votes,
we should have the upper hand

If it is Governor's rule, the results
can be changed in any direction

So if we should hold the power
in our hands, either 1 week or 10 days

It is not important
that I am the CM

What is important is
the rule being in our hands

What are you saying, sir?

Opposition is handing over
CM's post to him it seems

We could have offered
the same CM post to him

He refused our offer, sir

Opposition is his target it seems

Hey! Stop it!

Don't do anything to him

Amma

Step out, ma

'Vijayaraghava'

'Will you do your amma
a huge favor?'

- 'What, ma?
- You should become a collector'

'Is that a favor, ma?'

'I can surpass your expectations'

Your chapter closes today
for all the crimes you committed

I will destroy you
inch by inch hereafter

Arrest him

He has no authority whatsoever

We will retain him
as a dummy CM

His signature should wield no power

He should not hold
any approval power either

He is like a goat that is trapped
in the midst of starving lions

'After we make use of him'

You can do what you want with him

And his mother belongs
to our Party too it seems

Instead of News being
he is an Independent candidate

'Mother and son have returned
to their Parent-party'

Pedha Perumal, you know him only too well

This can be handled, right?
Isn't he a simple man?

He looks simple on the surface

'But every time I think of killing him
he is climbing up the ladder of success'

He is quite 'the beggar'

But has an overload of temerity

But one in a million

Let him come, sir

We will deal with him
