Karuppu, is the king's palace ready for occupation?

Yes, sir I heard about it

He has summoned 8 different craftsmen to have his palace built

-8 craftsmen? -Yes, sir

Take that route Let me see for myself

Is this the palace Veera has built?

You mean to say 8 different craftsmen were required to build this?

Why did he build such a palatial mansion?

All right, find out who built this and bring him to me

Hello, Mr Kadiresan

Are you the mason who built this palace?

Yes, sir, 8 different craftsmen put their heart and soul to build this

To attend to the delivery of a single middle-aged woman

8 midwives were called, huh?

Don't take a dig at me, sir

Each craftsman came here from a different country

Basic foundation, basement, garden

Palace facade, elevation Interior plan, structural elements

Interior decoration, detailing and technology

Veera sir selected 8 different experts to pitch in to build this palace

This was possible only because of the combination of such skill and intellect

Is that a fact? 8 skilled craftsmen joined hands to build this?

Sir, please take a tour of the interior of the palace

Let us go inside

Come

Mr Kadiresan, now give me your opinion of the palace

-If you want my opini-- -Wait

Look at this also and let me know

Mr Veera built this for his fiancee with utmost love and care

Will they agree to build such a beautiful palace for me too?

I will pay you more than Mr Veera did

Why would that be a problem? They will be most willing

But this is entirely Veera sir's plan

His imagination and creativity laid the foundation for this masterpiece

You give us a plan of your choice We will execute it to perfection

ANNABELLE SETHUPATHI

We have been asked to stay in Mr Kadiresan's palace for the past 10 days

Father, the more I look around

this palace gives me the creeps and spooks me

Did you see anything paranormal?

Why are you getting so perturbed, dear?

We've stayed here for 10 days Did anything unusual happen?

Nothing happened

But I am still scared

Why are you both talking of spirits and that too on a full moon night?

If you continue like this, you both will be possessed for sure

Don't scare us even more now

We are both starving Dish up something for us

If born a woman, she has to slave it out in the kitchen

Cooking for you both

one day, I will end up as a spirit in the kitchen

Your mother is better off as a spirit rather than this spirited sinner

What happened just now?

This aroma is tingling my taste buds

Did I cook this gourmet meal?

You went off in a huff and dished out such a spread!

Though miffed, you've ensured we don't starve for a week

I think so too

How come you have excelled yourself today?

What I meant was

You are always a good cook

Today you have outdone yourself

I did nothing out of the ordinary

Ma, it is finger-licking delicious!

You have served us a feast for the first time in your life

Father... help!

Father!

What is it, dear?

Father, there's a spirit inside my room

What? A spirit?

Oh, my God! A spirit...

-Let's get the hell out of here -Listen, dear

I knew right then when you spoke of ghosts

something like this will happen

-Ma, stop fooling around! -Who is fooling around?

Let us go in and check your room

What is so spooky here?

Oh, God...

No, this can't be true Let us get out of here right now

Hurry up

Come... come on

What is happening?

Hello

Who are you with a face like a coconut scrub on a brass pot?

-What are you doing in my house? -One blow and you'll be wickless

-Don't lose your cool -Did you hear

this candle-mouthed chap blabber?

His house it seems!

Oh, my God!

Mr Kadiresan's son's family

Mr Kadiresan's daughter's family

Mr Kadiresan's sister's family

-Hey! -Stop it!

-What, man? -What is so funny?

My dear son-in-law

-My God. -Father!

He is screwing up his face like a pretzel.

Ma, who is he?

Look at him properly He is your grandpa

We perform the annual ritual for him

Is he the crow that comes and eats our offering every new moon day?

Not an ordinary crow

Jungle crow, dear

Now you will hear another cawing

Thendral, how are you, dear?

Mother!

Oh, no! Thendral!

Our daughter has fainted

Shanmugam, do something

-Stop it! -Get up

Usually, I make fun of new ghosts and that's exactly what I did

She reacts 9 times worse than me and faints

How can I help it?

-Ghost? -Yes

-Ghost, huh? -Oh, my dear!

Oh, no!

My granddaughter has also fainted

Why do they keep falling like 9 pins?

-Time for my lesson now -Move

I'll give a hand to lift her up

I know you have an agenda Hold on to your wife's hand

-He's insulting me -Wait, I'll go

Sundarapandian, go back What a desperate spirit!

Thamizh, come here, dear

Even if you are a spirit, shouldn't you have some logic?

How can that kid lift up these 2 bulky tamarind sacks?

Leave logic and magic aside Go ahead, dear

Do you recognise him?

Uncle Sundarapandian

Oh, no! Mother!

Even if the entire city clobbers him with a shoe

Once a flirt always a flirt

-Kumari -Thendral

I saw you as a baby in your mother's arms

You have grown into a lovely lass!

She is the only Tamilian who speaks classic Tamil with a drawl like this

Why do you keep picking on my family?

Go over to that side

Do you recognise this family?

Bakthavachalam and his wife, Raghavi

Any house is bound to have a tall front door with a small latch

His wife is the door He is that latch

How dare you! I'll clobber you!

If I retaliate this latch will break Dump him in his cradle

How can you recognise the entire ghost clan?

Then what, dear? They are my ghost kin

Is it confirmed now?

We thought your mother was a ghost Her entire clan is supernatural

-Shut up, man -Okay, brass pot

Listen, can you recognise them?

Turn and show that reaction to your daughter

Mother, Father

-Thendral -Come, my dear child

-How are you? -Never dreamt I would see you

Therefore all of you belong to one happy family

Got it?

Where is my uncle?

Thendral, you should take special notice of this

After his death, your uncle has not stepped out of his room

He has not allowed anyone else into his room either

I'm not responsible if any of you barge in and that man bites your neck

-I want to make this very clear -What?

If my wife bites anyone in this house, I'm not responsible either

God help me True jack-in-the-box

Why did we die? What sin did we commit?

Greed, what else?

Your entire clan is guilty of greed!

That is why you are here wandering as ghosts

Then why are you a ghost haunting this palace?

What is your unfulfilled desire?

I'll explain

I was a well-respected cook in this palace

I just love to cook

One full moon night I cooked a gourmet meal for your entire family

Everyone ate heartily and died

No one remembered anything after they died

No one knows who mixed the poison

I died too and even that I was unaware

Only after I haunted this place, I stumbled on a piece of information

Every full moon night, a power enters my body

With that power in me, I enter the cook's body

Whoever eats the food cooked by me will die

In this same fashion, once in 1960

your mother was cooking

I possessed her body when she was crushing garlic cloves

I found out something else then

Whoever does not die after eating my food

only he can escort us out of this palace

Understood?

What crap! You'll poison everyone and preach us your sermon for hours?

No chance, brother

He cooked only once

-Did you cook the next time? -That isn't the least bit funny

He cooked all the other times as per all our instructions

Okay, anything else?

Or are you done?

I have to tell you all of us have to follow rules

Raghavi

We cannot touch people who are alive

But we can lift articles

We can't escape from this palace

More than all these do's and don'ts

this palace has to be maintained spic and span

Not a single piece of trash It has to be spotless

Is there the slightest logic in what you've been telling us?

You heard me speak for so long

Was there any logic? Zip your lips and listen

Not only that, Sundarraman

Don't look for logic in ghost stories

Okay, what is our plan of action?

What else to do?

We have to wait and watch till someone comes to save us

I second it!

Uncle

Thendral, her husband and daughter are dead too

I don't believe Shanmugam's story

Grandpa?

Had your fill? Shall we go?

Right from my childhood, I've seen this routine ritual of yours

You come, stand, glare at this palace and you leave

I haven't seen you step in even once

I don't glare at it

I look at it with fear

It's been 70 years since I entered this palace

It has taken 12 lives in our family

We are the only two left behind

So you are aware, right?

Then why hold on to it for dear life?

Why don't you sell it?

You don't know its importance

All that is fine, Grandpa, but--

But what?

It is a problem only if we make our relatives stay here

We can make an outsider stay here

The whole town knows there is some mystery lurking in this palace

Who will come then?

Why depend on local help?

Crime is a passion

Brother? What is in that bag?

Precious jewellery

24 carat gold

It will be 1 kilo of gold minimum

Now that you know, why don't you go and flick it?

It isn't that easy to steal that bag

Not just that

Another gang just like us is here to steal that booty

For a long time, I've been planning to steal

before they can lay their hands

No chance

I won't let go of the golden chance today

Mother promise I swear on this book!

"Saila saila rae"

"Come to waltz away"

Bro, I think this is the gang you mentioned

Stealing in burka, huh?

Bah! Very predictable

You said they would steal that bag They are busy flicking chains

You lunatic

If they make a beeline to the bag with the booty

only that owner will scream

"My bag is missing! My jewellery is missing!"

But now one will exclaim, "Hey, my phone is missing!"

"Hey, I can't find my purse!"

That's all

When everyone starts screaming, no one will know who should catch whom!

That entire gang of cunning thieves will easily escape

-Super clever, bro -I know

"Saila saila rae Come to waltz away"

Only a policeman fleeces people

You saw how she flicked from him

What temerity, bro!

Bro, give me her number

-Number changed -Huh?

-WhatsApp? -Blocked, man

-Why, bro? -Look over there

Look there, son

Oh, no! Oh, my God!

Look at that

They don't even spare a small boy!

Jesus is there

You'll pay for your sins

-Bro, she has flicked the bag -I'm not getting involved

Go and check what's happening over there and update me

"Saila saila rae"

Why don't you go instead?

I won't

-Why? -Because I'm the boss!

Hello, mike testing

-Have they removed their burkas? -Yes, bro

No doubt at all They are the culprits

Don't stop Just proceed

Okay, bro

You are...

Oh, God! My chain is missing

-Escape -Oh, no!

My bag is missing!

Hey! Did you get caught like a fish on a hook?

Caught red-handed, huh?

Bro...

Don't worry, everyone Here

I have caught the thief

What? You have caught him?

-Who? -Let's go

Bro, save me

Why are you grabbing me?

Why are you hitting me?

Now do you realise why I didn't get involved?

Don't make a fuss Just pray to Jesus, bye

Hey! Whom do you think you are manhandling!

Rascal!

I'll smash your face with one swift blow

Did you see, sir?

Don't point a finger at me

Stop it, all of you

Silence!

-Don't argue -Stop it

Stop this My boss is on his way

-You keep shouting non-stop! -Silence!

Hello, sir Good morning

Tell me What is your problem?

-Sir-- -Sir, they are the problem

They stole and then they are blaming it as usual on me, sir

Not once or twice A million times

Look at him, sir He looks every inch the fraud

Sir, why take the trouble? I openly accept I am a fraud

But I'm a loser fraud, sir

They are successful frauds, sir

That's why they don't look like frauds

Sir...

Will you let me take care of him, sir? After a few rounds, he'll be fine

Correct!

It can be corrected easily

Sir, that lady is pulling all the words out of your mouth

I'm telling this for your safety

Somehow take care of that lady in an encounter

Global economy will rise

Sir... sir... sir

He's a madcap, sir

He's wasting your time and ours Please let us go, sir

-Is your time being wasted, madam? -Yes, sir

What is so important you have to rush?

That's the true colours of a police officer!

Answer him

Hello I asked what is so important

Cleaning

We run a cleaning agency, sir

Sir

By cleaning, she means...

Not this cleaning, sir

This cleaning

Sorry, sir Ray-Ban

Hey, you!

-Come here -Got into a fix, huh!

Sir?

Lock them up

Sir, sir? Why, sir?

True colours of a police officer indeed!

Corrupt to the core!

What is your profession?

-Cleaning... cleaning -Cleaning agency, sir

-Can you do me a small favour? -Of course, sir

I own a palace in the next village

It's a bit grimy and dusty

Don't worry at all, sir I can refer someone

Hire him and he'll do a thorough job

If you scare him, he won't even ask for payment

What are you saying?

We have a cleaning agency, right?

Sorry, sir

We will do the job for you, sir

How dumb can you be?

You know we don't take job orders outside the city

Sorry, sir We don't do that, sir

You'll get it from me I have been watching you

You've been taking turns lying through your teeth!

I know you are behind this, and he isn't the culprit

Sir, don't threaten us for no reason

Do you have any proof?

All you want is proof?

Just sit there Wait for 10 minutes

I'll call you after I get it

-Dad -What, dear?

-Let it go, Dad -Okay

Sir just wants us to take up the cleaning job, right?

Let's do it

Why cause unnecessary trouble for the police?

When do you want us to start, sir?

What do you think of it?

Ma

If we had a palace like this

wouldn't it be amazing?

Hello!

Enough sightseeing Shall we go inside?

Baktha, did something happen to you?

We've been here for decades I've never felt something like this

Even alive you had no feelings

-Someone new has entered our domain -I agree

Baktha, ask our people to assemble

Let's go and check

Rudra?

Rudra!

Why do you look like you've seen a ghost, dear?

-The front door key... -Is this the one?

This is so big

I wondered if it is a key or a weapon

Maybe it's the wrong key?

Just a doubt

It's the correct key only

But I don't know why it isn't opening

Rudra, I'm scared

-Shall we leave this place? -Will you shut your gob?

Sir

It must be stuck on the inside

I know what to do

-Dad, come here a minute -Coming, my darling

It's her

Hey, Rudra!

-Rudra, what happened? -Nothing, Ma!

I'm coming

-Are you okay? -I'm fine, come

Why are you standing there and gawking at us, sir?

-Give us a tour of your palace, sir -Come in, sir

Hey! Hands off, man!

This is just a palace Why do you need a tour?

Haven't you seen it on TV and in films?

Just like that, no big deal You look around, you'll know

I have something important to do I must leave urgently

If you need anything, I'll leave two constables behind

They will be of help

You go ahead I'm leaving

Go on

What the hell is this, dear?

He's talking like a lunatic, claiming it is a film set

Hey! What the hell is wrong with you?

-I'm talking to you, Rudra -Forget about that, Ma

Just look here

This palace looks so beautiful

If we buy, we should buy a palace like this

You have dreams of buying a palace?

Have you gone mad?

Shucks! But I can't blame you I should kick your father

By the way, where is your father?

Missing, huh?

Some creature must have eaten him

-Ow! -Dad?

Am I biryani to be eaten?

Ouch!

Oh, God!

Help me!

What happened to you?

My daughter

I saw her run into the palace nimble and swift on her toes

I copied her and ended up like this

Serves you right! At this age what are you trying to prove?

You remind me of something from English movies--

A ghost?

No... no, not a ghost

It is a weird name

Zombie!

You resemble that

Get lost!

Okay, but this palace looks spic and span as it is

Why did he want us to clean it?

That inspector has a hidden agenda

-Maybe -But...

I have an even better plan than his

What is that plan?

Why are you asking me as if it is something new?

We always have only one plan, right?

He said two policemen will stand sentry at the door

Don't try to be funny, Ma

Do you think we can't get away from them?

Tonight we loot all the valuables from here

And we scoot from here

-Did you call me, Grandpa? -Sit down

What is this? I trusted you with a job

You've let some strangers stay in our palace

What else could we do, Grandpa?

No one who has heard about the palace will volunteer to stay

A random group landed in my net That's why I sent them over there

Grandpa, just one week

We'll know after the full moon night

In case they are alive

we can chase them out, perform a ritual and then move in ourselves

-I understand something clearly -What is it?

That girl has something that we don't possess

Beauty, right? I thought so immediately

-Don't pre-empt me -You're Cupid with a turban, eh?

Got snubbed

None of you made me feel the way

that girl did by striking a chord within me

I understand this for sure

If we all want to leave this palace

only that girl can make the impossible possible

-Oh! -How do you know that, Shanmugam?

I'll tell you when the time is right

But that chit of a girl wants to loot everything and escape tonight

Only if we let them leave Right, darbar?

I'll sit right in front of her room

I heard a buffalo grunt?

-There -You bloody pig!

Even as a ghost, he is Mr Lazybones!

-Wake him up! -I'll teach him a lesson

Did you add salt and pepper?

I'll sprinkle it into your mouth What are you doing?

I was thinking

Thinking what?

I'll beat you to a pulp and hang you on that nail

Hey, leave him alone

Always taking a dig at my husband!

Yes, your husband is a sacred pond and we keep digging with a crowbar

Numbskulls with turbans

First, listen to me

They should never know we are ghosts

Why, Shanmugam?

No one from our side should scare them out of their wits

Full moon is seven days away

Let's cook and feed them

If they are alive, all of us can escape from this palace

What if they die?

If they die, they can join us and roam around here happily

-That's it -Okay

-Who is that? -Who is he? Is he new?

He resembles that actor Vaibhav, but a clean-shaven version

-Put it down, I'll kill you -Bloody thief

What happened?

Maybe I can wear a wig like my dad

I woke up hearing a thud Whom are you shushing now?

-Shut up! -Don't shout

What the hell is the matter now?

Why are things falling down on their own?

What is he doing here?

I thought he was one of us

Why are you in a tearing hurry now?

Be careful!

Don't catch it Let it fall

Darbar has caught it now

Mummy! The vase is dancing in mid-air!

Hey, what the hell are you doing?

Won't he get scared only if the vase falls down?

So I dived and caught it

Why are you behaving like this?

None of you wants to leave this palace prison?

-Sorry -Oh!

Useless fell--

-What happened, children? -Hey! What's up?!

None of you need to worry

All of them will leave this palace tonight for sure

-How? -Arunachalam and I scared one of them

-Oh, no! -You should've seen him run

Age no bar, all of them are stark-raving lunatic ghosts!

Why are you staring at me?

I've never seen a teddy bear sit in a chair quietly till now

-Shut up -Shanmugam

Why are you so sad?

-As if we did it on purpose -Yes, Shanmugam

I tried my level best

But too many things happened by then

I dived my best to catch the vase too

The elders are so apologetic, and you aren't even listening!

Is this how elders behave?

Look here, Shanmugam

Only after you told us, we knew why we are ghosts haunting this palace

Only if you explain the remedy will we know how to proceed

It was a small mishap Please ignore and move on

What is the plan? You tell us what to do

You don't do anything

Problem arises only if all of you get together

Go back to your respective rooms

Oh, no! I am scared to stay all alone in this huge palace!

Seriously? You are a ghost yourself!

-Which ghost can scare you? -True that, eh?

Fine, we just have to stay in our own rooms, right?

-Let us go -Yes... yes

-One minute -What?

Till the full moon night that girl has to be here

-Why? -To crucify!

Don't bug Shanmugam

You don't worry I'll take care of them

-That's the problem -Baktha, shut up and stay here

-My wife is all alone -What do you intend to do?

She will sleep in her bed You'll curl up in your cradle, shut up!

His sense of humour is weird

Dying to be his wife's masseur!

I told you that day I wasn't hungry!

You made me eat the entire meal

And now I'm forced to listen to Shanmugam!

You ate as if you had starved for days

Now are you shifting the blame on me?

All right, let us retire

Why is he standing here?

Look at me now

Darling

When I see him, I'm reminded of something

Are you reminded of a Telugu movie?

Not that, my dear husband

You were a champion swordsman

Not a chance in heaven of a repeat performance, right?

Why will it not happen?

-Watch me-- -My beloved! Where are you going?

Just wait and watch

Oh, no! Darling!

Look out!

My beloved!

Don't you worry

And that's how you do it

The end of our lineage!

-Now a jump! -Oh, darling!

I hope you were not hurt in the most sensitive area

Be careful

Sir, please let him go

I beg you!

Darling, come this side

Please listen to me Come this way

He seems like a mad man!

Oh...

Everything seems old and vintage

Shall I try something new?

Sure

-Another sword! -Yes

What do you say?

Sw-sw-swo-sword!

Look here

I don't fight with swords dangling in mid-air!

So what I should do...

is escape!

Did you see that? He ran away

Oh, no, he ran away

Now, who will face Shanmugam?

Oh, God! Sir, stop

Stop, sir

Darling, drop the sword and then chase him

Heed my words

Oh, wow!

A sari

Lovely

So beautiful!

-Ma, it's your sari -So what?

Shanmugam has told us, right?

They should stay here until full moon night

and we should not disturb them

Yes, let them be Why buy trouble?

-Let's go and sit quietly -Good idea

I'll drape this later

Why are you sitting here quietly?

Won't you take care of your guests properly?

You think I don't know who is the culprit?

It's either my beloved husband or my darling daughter

No, I switched on the light

Hey, idiot, she can't hear you

Hey! Are you calling me an idiot?

Treat me with respect

I'm older than you!

I died when I was young

You died when you were older That's the only difference

Why should I give you respect? You little devil!

Watch your tongue

Wait and watch what's in store for you!

I know

I know who is behind all these pranks

How is she so bold and brave?

I know it all

She seems absolutely fearless

-How dare you beat me! -Let her go, listen to me

-Don't pick that up -Oh!

Is that the best you can do?

Not enough sound Louder, please

Acting too smart for your boots?

Trying to rile me of all people?

Wait and see

Malu?

What is going on here?

Kindly keep quiet

Why has your voice changed?

Nothing to worry about

My wife has turned into a ghost!

Mummy

Where are you, Mummy?

Mummy?

Mummy?

Mummy

Mummy?

Mummy, a rat!

What is the matter?

-Dad, a rat! -Rat!

Where is it?

Hey, Malu! What happened to you?

I see flying objects!

Everything is flying all around us

Hit it

Catch it, hit it Don't let it escape

-Mom, come -Run

Run, run, run

Oh! Like coaching a parrot I told them to not scare our guests

What the hell are they hitting?

A rat is running around, and they've been chasing it

Hey! Just stop it

Won't you listen to anything I say?

Wait, Shanmugam I'll be right back

Baktha!

What is your plan?

Shanmugam, check if it is dead

-What? -The rat

All of you rot and die here!

All of us are dead anyway

Baktha!

Can you...

see me?

Rudra!

-Rudra -Coming, Ma

Rudra...

No, wait, let her come

As soon as she comes, we will scoot from this spooky place

Hey, Rudra!

-I told you right then let's leave -Why are you screaming, Ma?

What is the matter, Pa?

Why are all of you looking spooked?

Let us leave this palace right away, dear

This palace is haunted

Why are you blabbering, Pa?

Are you out of your mind?

What? Are you then questioning if ghosts exist nowadays?

Did I hear you right?

Listen to my idea

What is it?

Didn't we come here to loot all the valuables?

But I get this feeling there is something else here

Madcap!

I'm saying exactly that

-Something is wrong with this place -Ma, wait

We are both talking in tangents

You are saying this palace has ghosts roaming around

I am saying let us play ghosts of this place

-Shanmugam -What?

Nothing

What are you saying?

Come here

I went into one of the rooms in this palace

I saw a family photo

She means our photo

There are 7 girls in that photo

I will act as if one of those ghosts has possessed me

-Then? -Then what?

Really?

-Yes, follow me -Come... come on

-Come here -What does she mean?

She said she saw 7 girls

-There should be only 6 -I know

-Only 6 -Poor child

She is bad with numbers

Whatever... At least I made that child stay as planned

You are taking credit for it?

Madcap, get lost!

How dare you call me mad!

-Your stupid turban -My headgear!

Don't try your tricks on me

Nothing to be scared of

Come, just follow me

-Did it fall down with a clang? -Yes, uncle

-No, do a replay -Who is behind me?

What is she looking at?

Shanmugam?

Why is this girl rearranging everything this late in the night?

Baktha, won't you let me be in peace even for a short while?

Maybe she sleepwalks

Then she should be walking while being asleep, right?

-Why is she moving everything? -Very true

What are you doing here well past midnight?

Everything seems to have been arranged in the wrong order, Ma

I am setting it right

-Did we come here to rearrange? -Not like that, Ma

It just occurred to me

Let's go to bed now

I feel very tired

Tomorrow morning, I have to make the whole town believe I am the ghost

So scary! Run!

I think she will appear resembling me

I'm the only daughter in this family She will resemble me

In your dreams! She will be as beautiful as me

Stop fighting Look over there

She will resemble me

She is like film actress Kannambal

True beauty!

-Whom does she resemble? -Me, of course

She is dressed like my wife, Sivakami

How strange! He's coming out after all these years of solitude

-Rudra! -What, Ma?

Rudra, come with us to the temple

Oh, no! Then will no one be here?

Whom will we cook for?

That's right, right?

Why?

Your mother is petrified of ghosts Don't you know that?

-Let's go to the temple -Nothing of that sort

I'm feeling a bit weird ever since we came here

She wants to act like a ghost

I'm terrified of all her mad schemes

Today is full moon Let's give an offering to God

Come, dear

I can't enter a temple today

-What is she saying? -Don't poke your nose here

Attend to your work

Okay, you stay here We will get back soon

Come, hurry up

We got our chance

Ma, before you go, cook something for us

Cook something she likes

All is well that ends well

Shanmugam has to make her favourite dish

What if she doesn't eat what he cooks?

Hey, turban-head?

Will you stop jinxing it?

I'm sorry

Tonight is full moon, and we don't know if we will be stuck here or be freed

I don't know where these creatures are

I can hear someone tasting the soup in there

Baktha, why are you painting with your bare hands?

Isn't it full moon tonight?

If they eat, we will know

if we will leave the palace or be stuck here for good

All that is fine What are you doing?

Don't I have to prophesy? So I am keeping my spirits high

You don't have to extend any such courtesy

Just shut up and don't add to the mess

Stuff this mango stalk in your mouth...

-Get lost -...and shut up

So many vegetables and I don't know what to dish out

Why are you muttering to yourself?

That woman will come now to cook I don't know what to spread out

Put the pan here, drumstick there and shove everything into the attic

Don't talk nonsense Just zip your lips!

Thinks he is something!

-Shanmugam -What?

-Her mother is coming here -Oh, God! Yes, she is

I didn't ask her the menu

Let me go and ask her

Let me decide and cook something she likes

-I have to possess her now -Ready... 1, 2, 3!

Shanmugam is here

Follow me

Take out everything Bring all the ingredients

Don't stamp on my feet, moron!

Don't take everything

Hush! Silence!

I will make dosas Pour one teaspoon ghee

Get the plate

You rock You are the royal cook!

Lay the table!

Did I really cook all this now?

Did I really cook all this?

-Malu, it's getting late -I'm coming, dear

Rudra will come here to eat in a short while

Decorate this place beautifully

Should I polish the brass jug?

Why does a ghost need make-up?

-Darling, don't be a glutton -Take him in and bash him

She won't listen to anyone

-Pat her head -Shut up!

If you keep it, I swear--

I have stopped hiccupping too

Where is she going now?

Why did she stop abruptly?

-What is she doing? -Shanmugam

Have you mixed something else instead of poison?

The way she is jumping around, the poison may exit her body

Why is she jumping round?

She is making me run when my bones are creaking

You want me to lift you and run I cannot bear your weight

I cannot lift him, dear

We got poisoned and died quietly But she is on a roll

I didn't even know you were in that group

What a weird way to lie on a sofa

Don't lie upside down The poison may go to your head

Shanmugam, what the hell did you do?

I won't answer any of you till she sleeps

I feel so much at peace now after being blessed by God

Our daughter should be safe

Aren't you staying in that palace?

Yes, grandma Why do you ask?

There is a ghost in that palace

Look how Rudra's plan has worked out

Be quiet

Yes, my daughter

I am not talking about your daughter

Every full moon night, whoever stays at that palace and eats ends up dead

Thank God you did not eat or stay in the palace and came over here

Oh, my God! Let's rush back

Her face is as pale as death Is she dead by any chance?

You are dead too Does it mean you are fair?

-She has a 10 layer make-up -Shut up

She is already as fair as a steamed dumpling!

-If she is fair, she is dead, huh? -True that!

She is moving

What happened?

Oh, no! What's happening?

This is what happened to me too

Shut up, you mad female

Something is wrong

Maybe I shouldn't have given her water

-Correct -Don't jinx it

-He'll remember that -I will try to wake her up

Who are you?

Don't you recognise us? We are Hollywood artists

Shut up!

Are you able to see all of us, dear?

Hovering over me like a herd of cows, how can I not see you?

Who are you all?

-Is she dead? -All hope is lost!

She won't be able to release us from this captivity

Even she has become a spirit like us

Do you remember me?

Pig-mouth fellow?

Rudra! Rudra

Why are you getting flustered? I am sitting right here

-A granny at the temple said something -Wait, all of you

Baktha, she called me "pig-mouth fellow" Let's go to the terrace and lament

Wait, turn back and look at them

We are worried about you

And you're looking somewhere else and replying

Look at her

She is still alive

-How can she see us then? -I know, but how?

-Rudra? -What is the matter, dear?

What are you staring weirdly at?

"Is this Rudra a girl or a ghoul? Friendly Casper or an Annabelle?"

"Is this Rudra a girl? Or a spirited ghoul?"

This is our backstory

Then you mean to say all of you are ghosts?

Yes, of course

Does she have any doubt even after seeing you?

How many times should I repeat this?

I just can't believe this

One minute Come here

-Why, Shanmugam? -Just come

Touch him

Stop it!

-Ask her to touch me -You wanton man!

Go ahead, ma'am

Stop that!

Playing with him instead of touching

But you asked her to touch Why are you yelling now?

Then are all of you actual absolute ghosts?

Get lost, ma'am! Go away!

Bugging us ghosts

One minute

Aren't you the reason I'm able to see all of you?

You put your heads together and tried to kill me

No, no, no...

If I put my mind to it, I can do anything to you

What do you intend to do?

Even after becoming a ghost, will stop chasing women?

What will you do?

Will you complain to the temple priest? Please do

Shanmugam, don't rile her up

Then what? We are telling her only she can see all of us

Is she trying to threaten us?

-And you're supporting her -True that

You are invisible to normal eyes

My dear girl, you are the only ghost who is alive whom we can see

-Oi! -Listen, dear

Only if you wish we can be released from here

Give it serious thought

We have been captives here for decades

Okay, on one condition

What?

If you help me acquire this palace

I will help you step out of this place

Deal?

Look at her bargaining with a fraid of ghosts

Accept her condition, Shanmugam

Deal!

Escape pact signed, right? All of you go to your room

Carry him on your waist and go

Do you need special instruction? Get up and clear out

My dear

Don't you remember anything?

About what?

-About what? -Mind your business

I'll dump you in an urn and kill you

Share your secret!

You mean to say only you can see ghosts?

How many times to tell you?

I just can't believe it

Shanmugam

Aim at her mouth!

Do you accept now?

Shanmugam threw Now it's your turn

Rudra, ask them to stop

Stop it I asked only Shanmugam to throw

-Mummy, what is happening? -Why are you pitching in?

Enough of this!

-I'm dead -Why did you hit him, you brat?

Treat me with respect

What's up with you talking to empty space?

Hope no ghost is next to me, huh?

Yes, Grandpa

Kadhir, I hope you know the significance of today

Yes, I know, Grandpa I'm on my way to the palace

I'll call you after I reach

Go and check, I am sure they will be dead and sprawled all over

Take an ambulance with you

If anyone is alive, call me, I'll come

Okay

Okay, dear

Because you have convinced me

let us join hands to help release those ghosts from captivity

Thank you, sir

Dad, Shanmugam is extending his hand for a handshake

-Thank you -Wait...

He is here... no

Dad, one second

Not there, Dad Here

What is this, my dear? No sense of touch at all

I don't even know how he looks

How can I help him?

If I dress up this ghost, at least I can see its real form

I have an idea

Let's check if there is any dresses here

Here?

Why? What is the matter?

Have you come here before?

Do you remember this place?

Do you remember me?

-I know -What do you know?

You are the ghost cook, right?

True, but you know why I am roaming around as a ghost here?

You died and turned into a ghost, isn't it?

Correct, go in

I don't know how to make her understand

No one is here

I think the ghost must be in the bathroom

It's been 70 years since we relieved ourselves

Bah!

It's been decades since I entered this room

No one has stepped into this room after I died

How did she come...

Whose room is this? So third rate

My master's room, he built it for you with so much love

You meant the world to him

That's what I'm asking Why is it so terrible?

Don't curse my master without looking around properly

Check with an open mind

What's so great?

What is so special about looking around this room?

How do you know about the room in here?

Your "all-in-all" told me

From the moment she came, why is she taking digs at my master?

Why has your master built steps that make my head spin?

Ma'am, not just steps

Whatever he does will make you go dizzy, watch your step

What is your verdict now? How is my master's creation?

Seems to be a hall of mirrors

Did your master build a palace or a barbershop?

Barber shop, huh?

He bought thousands of mirrors from Sudhan of Jodhpur

Clear out, madam

I brought them here

Now they are missing

It's puzzling

Are you wondering why we are still alive?

All because of your evil intentions my daughter is possessed by a spirit

-Huh? -You!

We trusted you and stayed here, and she is refusing to leave now

She refuses to leave, huh? I'll give you two tight slaps

Selling salt to the sea?

I can deal with her You leave this palace

Ghost or ghoul, I can handle this

I'm telling you the truth, man

There are a dozen ghosts surrounding us now

Yes, of course

Hey, ghosts out there!

You scared us with so many pranks

Show him your spooky antics

Here, come on

-What are you dawdling for? -I can't lift it

What?

-What happened? -I can't lift anything

Why have we lost that power?

-I can't lift anything -They can't be seen

I can't see a single ghost

-Are they missing in action? -I can't lift anything

They are resting Be patient, wait

We will deal with the ghosts if they land up, you clear out now

Where are the other two frauds? Come on, out you go

Hey, ghosts, save us now!

Is anyone there to help us?

Did you hit them?

-Me? -Your handiwork?

No, it seems

-Did you hit them? -No

Then who hit them if you didn't either?

We can't touch anything We have lost all our power

How spooky can this be?

Don't be alarmed It must be for something good

Let us go and inform Shanmugam

Come on

-Yes? -I think our palace is haunted

Now what do you think?

It could have been painted a bit

Given a chance, you'll ask my master to clear cobwebs

Do you know what this is?

I think it can fetch us Rs 30,000 easily

Typical thief mentality Come along

Ma'am, come here

Do you remember this?

Think deeply It will strike a chord

No sync or sink of memory

The knife will poke you in your pocket, put it back in its place

Stealing your own possessions

Oh, my goodness! Madam, come here

Two pillows, one bed and a basket full of apples, remember?

Get lost!

Ma'am, you will definitely remember this

Do you recognise this dress?

A wedding dress

Am I such a fool?

True, it is a wedding dress But which bride wore it?

I'll make dead meat out of you

For the first time in my life, I am stepping into this room

How do you expect me to know about this wedding dress?

Ma'am, this gorgeous palace, this wedding dress, this bed

Don't you remember any of this?

From the moment I stepped in here

you keep hounding me with, "Don't you remember this?" repeatedly

What is your problem?

Ma'am, come close

Come closer

Ma'am, this room is yours

This wedding dress is also yours

You wore this on your wedding day

You were so beautiful then

Only now--

Are you a mad ghost?

What the hell can I do if you don't remember anything?

My one last hope Where is it?

Here it is

Master's face is missing

Let me try my luck

Madam

This is Veera Sethupathi

Who is standing next to him? Take your time, think and tell me

This is... actually

I think I've worn this disguise when I went to steal somewhere

You disguised yourself and stole, huh?

Someone has done a neat job of photoshopping my face

What is your plan?

-I don't know -I have no idea what to do

How do I make her understand, Ramanuja?

Ma'am, come here

Do you recognise this mountain?

This palace has been built in between these mountains

How is this bald mountain of any use to anyone?

Who will buy it?

Only a prize fool will buy it

It won't fetch a handsome price contrary to your opinion

I agree with your point But what will you do with it?

After independence, I am told the government is acquiring land

Instead of the government acquiring your land

it is better to sell it for a good price

Even if you get Rs 200 to 300, it is a good deal, right?

Even if you sell for less, it is still hard cash

Instead of a dead mountain safely standing there

it can be cash in your locker safe and sound

All that sounds good, my friend But where do I find such a buyer?

I will make it happen

We are here to auction Mr Gajendra's land

The initial bid for this mountain is Rs 1,000

Look at that! It won't even fetch Rs 300 and you are bidding Rs 1,000 for it?

-What is your employer's name? -Chella Pandi's son, Marimuthu

I am not auctioning this for Marimuthu, son of Chella Pandi to buy this mountain

The price of this mountain is Rs 1,000

You want it, buy or else leave it

Rs 1,500

Rs 1,500 going once

Mr Veera Sethupathi is here

Rs 1,500 going twice

Veera Sethupathi

Rs 1,500 going thrice

-Sir, hope you won't misunderstand me -Speak up, Shanmugam

If my grandfather wants to bequeath this mountain to me, I'll kill him

But he's anyway penniless

You might as well buy this village

instead of spending Rs 1,500 on this mountain

-Shall I ask the driver to bring the car? -Go, finish the deal, I'll tell you

As you wish, sir

What are you thinking?

Wondering why he's parting with such an exorbitant sum

Maybe there is buried treasure

Anyway, we got a good bargain

Sir, hello

Greetings

Why did you buy this mountain for such an exorbitant amount?

Everything in this world possesses a unique quality

When it realises its quality

its innate value emerges to the outside world

I don't understand

You will understand very soon Thank you

Sir, all is well that ends well

Shall we go?

-I'll take my leave -Thank you

-Sir, don't hold it against me -Tell me, Shanmugam

What is it we lack you had to buy that mountain?

You want to know, Shanmugam?

One day I was feeling out of sorts and drove up this mountain by myself

I felt as if someone was sad next to me

I looked around everywhere

I didn't find anyone

Was it a ghost, sir?

No, listen to my story fully

I looked intently and I realised the sadness emanated from the mountain

How can a mountain express sadness to you?

Believe me, Shanmugam

Have I ever lied to you?

-The mountain asked me... -What?

"Will you take me with you?"

So I asked around about its owner

I was told Zamindar Gajendran owned it

He auctioned it today

I bought it from him End of story

All right, the mountain was sad and gloomy, it shed tears

Why did you bid Rs 500 more and buy it?

I promised to make it happy but made it wait for 6 months

I felt bad about that

That extra amount of Rs 500 was the punishment I meted out to myself

Did you hear a peal of laughter echo from the mountain top?

I saw the whole village laugh at you for overbidding

What, Shanmugam?

No, sir, your golden heart will make your cup of gladness overflow always

This is glad tidings

Shouldn't I wish you well?

This is good news, so why did you say it flippantly?

I won't utter a word hereafter

Your life can go to the dogs for all I care

Your jinxed words came true?

Go and open the box

I told you not to take the car We should have taken the horse

Will a horse emit smoke? You won't pay heed to me

-A horse will nip you in your butt -That's nothing new

Let us drink tender coconut water

Sir!

Shanmugam, have you found someone to fix the car?

Consider it fixed Drop that and come

How can I be of any use? Finish the task and tell me

If you come and see for yourself, you will experience utopia

Coming

Thank you very much

Our king

Hi

Hello

Not a problem Your radiator got heated up

We'll wait for it to cool down

Can you get me some water, please?

Hey! Get a pot of water

Thank you

You can start the car now

She is asking you to start your horse

Horse?

No, no, not the horse

The car You can start the car now

Behave like royalty Remember you are the king

Okay

So, next time when you change the coolant oil

make sure your air pockets are flushed

Then there won't be a problem

So, I won't face any problem after this?

There might be

You have to maintain it

Talk to her Take care of her

Then she will be comfortable with you

-There you go -Thank you so much

It's too hot Take care

What?

Vehicle

That car is going to hit me?

Okay

Shall I go now?

Yes, you may

Thank you

Sir, wear your glasses

Why did he pay Rs 1,500 and buy that mountain?

He knows something I am unaware of

"Veera the brave king, oho!"

Last time you scarred me with the slash of your sword

"Veera the chivalrous, bravo!"

"Hail the brave king Veera With a golden aura"

Hi

Hello

How are you?

I am fine How are you?

I'm quite well, thank you

I forgot to ask your name the other day

I'm Annabelle

And you?

Veera Sethupathi

And how is she?

What does she lack?

I fuel her up thrice a day She sleeps 4 times a day

Miss Queen leads a royal life!

What are you doing here?

I came here to take some pictures

And you?

I came...

to practise fencing

The world has moved on to guns and cannons

How come you are still practising sword fighting?

Learning to fight is

not to kill another person

It is a sport to keep our mind and body fit

Why don't you try your hand at this?

I can teach you

Who says I don't know how to sword fight?

All of you, disperse

Then why did you ask me why I am learning this art?

I just wanted to know what you think about it

I was fencing with the wind, huh?

Where have you all vanished?

Hello, madam

All right

Some beautiful architectural frames are calling me, I'll take my leave

And...

I'll fight with you some other day

What is she saying, sir?

She knows sword fighting it seems I asked her if she is game?

What was her reply?

All the buildings in our village are waiting for her to take photos

How unfair is this!

You claim the mountain talks to you

She says buildings beckon her

I'm standing here listening to all this Do I come across as a lunatic?

-Tell me, sir -What, Shanmugam?

-Sir -Go fetch water

All right, sir

Why does he go into a daze when he sees that British madam?

"Fluffy clouds passing by In the wide blue sky"

"Please don't tease me"

"Through a song sparkling bright"

"Ebony night is tuned out of sight"

Okay, bye I'll see you

All right, Annabelle

Shall I chaperon you?

Why?

Because he is the king

Do you know what a king's duty is?

I know

Helping damsels in distress

and, even if they decline, still helping them stubbornly

Shanmugam, have I ever hit you?

-When we were in 2nd standard -Take note of that

Annabelle, you helped me when you did not know who I was

You have come to my dominion

Consider this a courteous gesture

What does this laughter signify?

Means let's go

Okay, come, let's go

"Crossing the boundary Of a distant country"

"You entice me"

"Through the lens of your eyes truly"

"You make me lay down my arms duly"

"When our fingers touch, my lady"

"You are saviour of my heart In rhapsody"

"Through your divine eyes Looking at me"

"You speak words of love expressively"

"Come, walk with me In my path of destiny"

"Love of my life, my fair lady"

"Whatever the distance You travel, dearie"

"Am I not your only scenery?"

"Oh, aqua blue Is the boundless sea"

I love this village

And the people of the village too

There is another place

A beautiful spot

No one has been there till now

Really?

It's here in this village or somewhere outside?

Here

Why didn't you show it to me till now?

Because it is in my mind

If you give me permission

I can build that palace

I... I didn't understand that

If you agree to marry me

I will start building our palace

Okay

Did you understand what I said?

You said, right, you'll start the work of the palace?

Then start the work

No, Annabelle

I feel...

You... We...

Do you understand?

Yes, Veera

I will marry you

What is it, Karuppu? Why are you rushing in like a tornado?

What, Karuppu?

Sir, that king is building a palace on the land Mr Gajendra sold

What?

Did I hear you right?

I thought there was buried treasure

and that's why the king paid such a hefty sum

All he wants to do is build a palace there

Karuppu, this village has so much vacant land

What is so special about that mountain?

It is still a mystery to me

Fine, let him get pleasure out of it

I was having sleepless nights worrying about this like a mad man

He is building a palace

What are you talking about, Father?

That is...

You won't understand even if I try to explain

He considers himself a king, and he's building a palace

Karuppu, has the king finished building his palace?

This is completely Veera sir's plan

Mr Veera built this for his fiancee with utmost love and care

"Like a raindrop From the blue sky above"

"I fall on earth To unite in your love"

"I go around, I take a tour"

"Do I become yours forever?"

"I want us to unite as one"

"Will it be done?"

"My wish will be fulfilled My friend"

"You are her universe Till the very end"

"Through your royal eyes Looking at me"

"You speak words of love soulfully"

"Come, walk with me In my path of destiny"

"My royal lover for eternity"

"No longer any distance Between the two of us"

"Till the end of time and space"

"You are my equal half I favour"

"My brave warrior"

"My sweet angel"

Uncle, Gajendran has come to meet you

I don't wish to see anyone

He insists he will go only after he meets you

I don't wish to see anyone!

Kadiresa, why are you torturing yourself?

After all, it's a palace

We can easily build its replica

If you replicate it, it's called a copy

But that will always be the original

I want only the original

What if it is a copy, Kadiresa?

You will have the same rooms, kitchen, ceiling, everything you wish

Then why worry?

I don't know how to make you understand!

King Rajaraja Chola built many temples

His son also built many temples

But which temple is famous?

Only Rajarajeswara Temple in Tanjore built by Rajaraja Chola

Why?

Because he was Rajendra Chola's father

His thought process was the treasure

That mindset made that temple retain its majesty and grandeur till date

How do I make you understa...

Bring that block of gold, dear

Uncle

Go inside, dear

As you wish, uncle

Have you seen such a huge chunk of gold?

It's the first solid block extracted from Kolar gold mines

This is not mine

But I made it mine

My friend sacrificed his life for this to come into my possession

This chunk of gold is that precious

If you want to own only that palace, you have to ask Veera Sethupathi

Nice

A little bit to the right

On top

-Yeah, yeah -Here?

This spot?

Thank you

How sweet of you

Sir, how can a man lower his dignity to do something like this?

That too, you are a king

-Shanmugam -What, ma'am?

Sit

He's my husband first

Then your king

It's his responsibility to take care of me

Sir, what is ma'am saying?

A man's most important task is to respect a woman

Right?

If a king does not take care of his wife with love

she wants to know, how will he take care of his people?

Faantaastic!

Surp!

-Parbies! -What?

Ma'am taught me English!

She taught me these words to praise anyone who spoke absolute sense

But I don't understand this

You converse in Tamil, and she replies in English

How do you both get along?

He knows English, Shanmugam

But he doesn't speak

I understood only my name Nothing else made sense

He knows English

but he won't speak the language

What is your problem, sir?

How happy I'll be if you both converse in English fluently?

I'll feel proud, right?

What is there to be proud of, Shanmugam?

She understands what I speak

I understand what she is saying

Isn't that enough?

All that is fine, sir

When both of you have a child, what language will that kid speak?

Knowledge is different from language

Those with intelligence will understand

-Correct -Thank you

Sir?

A minor king has come from our neighbouring village

Go, he will come now

One second

Now go

So be it

You look lovely

Welcome... please come

-Hello -Hello

Hope you are doing well Please take a seat

Kumaresa!

Your palace is beautiful

What would you like to drink?

What did you say?

-What refreshment would you like? -No, thank you, I am good

All right, tell me

I thought you won this land from an opponent winning a bet

When I came here and saw this...

Such a beautiful palace in a plot fit for nothing

-only you have visualised it -Thank you

It's been my long-standing wish to build a beautiful palace like this

After my demise

this whole village, town, world should celebrate and praise it

But you have excelled in it before I could

Now I don't know what to do

I would like to buy this pal--

Forgive me

I have never denied anyone who asks me whatever they want

Like you mentioned, as a tribute to my existence or my wife

this is not a testimony to our lives

To display the love I have for Annabelle

this is a small token of my love

I don't even have the right to part with this, forgive me

That's all right

No problem It is all right

-All right -I shall take my leave

-See you? -Sir, one minute

Kumaresa

I can't send you empty-handed

Therefore

My wife and I planted a tree when we built this palace

This mango was plucked from that tree

It has an unique flavour

Taste it and you will know for yourself

Please accept this as a token of my affection

Isn't this an ordinary mango? All right, thank you

An entire mango grove is embedded in it

All right, I shall take leave

This is my wife, Annabelle

-Hello -Greetings

This isn't an ordinary palace

It's like Taj Mahal

His love for you is phenomenal

It is a joy beyond words to be a witness to it

You should be husband and wife in all the births you take henceforth

That is my earnest wish for you

Thank you

You are welcome here any time

I'll take my leave

Be very careful

Is that so?

Shall we begin?

If you keep smiling, how will I fight with you?

Who said one should not smile while indulging in a sword fight?

-Grandpa -What is it, dear?

Vikram snatched my doll from me, Grandpa

How can he take it from me?

-Come and ask him -Wait, I'll come

Let us go and find out

Veera, my head's aching

Another 5 minutes

Who is he?

Guests sent by Kadiresan

-Annabelle -Huh?

Sit, take rest

I'll serve them our feast

Let's fight... together

Listen to me, Annabelle

What?

-Veera -What happened?

I... I think

I think I'm going to throw up

Shall I come?

No, no

I can handle it

What?

Veera, I think I'm pregnant

Hey!

I think you're going to be a father

Hey!

Congratulations, Annabelle

Congratulations, Veera

Sir, are you cooking or eating?

-I am eating as I cook -What?

I didn't see your face since morning

Where were you?

So much

You made all of this?

Oh, so sweet--

Sit

What's the occasion?

Because my wife is...

Where are all the servants?

Tell me, queen of my heart!

Veera

What do you want to eat?

-This -Coconut rice

"For that day to dawn All of my heart I will yearn "

"As our baby slides to glide Father's appreciation and pride"

You are not eating?

"I will gather and cherish inside"

Eat

"O king of valour"

At least sit with me

"O my elixir forever"

"O beloved husband of mine"

How is it?

"O my soulmate sublime"

"O woman of substance"

It's delicious!

"O my elixir, my essence"

"O love of my life"

"O my beloved wife"

"O woman so bountiful"

"O my fair lady beautiful"

"O my love on this Earth From another birth"

Hey!

I was the one who poisoned your food

Forgive me

I wanted to buy it from you amicably

You gave me no choice but to resort to murder

Hey!

Wha...

Don't

This is what I like

I like this quality of yours very much

This quality of being most mature

I decided right after you visited me yesterday

Even if I send an army of warriors, I cannot win my battle against you

Not just that

I have no interest in success and defeat

I must get what I desire

That's all

I don't mind whatever crime I have to commit to get my way

I won't leave you

How many ever births I take

I will... come in search of you

Next birth

Had I wanted, I'd have used a poison that would've killed you instantly

But you love each other mind, body, heart and soul

Even I feel terrible

Fine, I'll let you speak your hearts out and then die

I mixed limited quantity of poison

You can bid farewell to your love

I will be waiting outside

Annabelle

Annabelle

Look at me

Hey

He took our lives for this

All right

I will not let... let him stay happy

No...

He... he will pay his penance in this palace

He is also just a mortal

He stooped so low only because greed got the better of him

We shall forgive him his sins

No

No

No

-Forgive me -No

No, don't say that

I was very happy as your wife

"My fingers caress a farewell To you"

"An end that can never be an adieu"

I am sorry

Annabelle

I will... always

love you

Love you too

Love you too

"Without you in my life What am I, my beloved wife?"

I couldn't do anything to him

No one was in the palace

But I decided to murder his entire family

Who is she, Grandpa?

She is Annabelle

But her image is no longer needed here

Karuppu

Shanmugam, Kadiresan sir has given me the dinner menu

I know what to cook You go

-Not that-- -Get lost!

-Raghavi? -Father

-Where is Vikram? -He is slightly unwell

He is asleep

Fine, go ahead, eat

One minute

Come here

-You cooked this feast? -Yes, sir

Give him a plate

Go ahead, eat

Mother! Father!

Uncle

Your curse came true, after they died they lived in this palace as ghosts

Grandpa

I knew both of you will return to this palace one day

So I am protecting this palace from that family's greedy hands

Do you understand at least now what is happening here?

Do you know why I am roaming around here as a ghost?

Where did she go?

Madam?

Ma'am...

Oh, no!

Did she listen to my story fully?

I shouldn't have turned my back to her and narrated the flashback

Did you get back your entire memory listening to my flashback?

None of that nonsense

This dress was tempting me so much

I thought I'll flick it

I wasn't sure if it would fit me

-So I tried it on -Veera Sethupathi sir

All right, come with me

Let's scare everyone wearing this dress

Where did you find these shoes?

That's personal

Personal?

They know how they died

Hi

Were you here all this while?

Shanmugam told me a super story for two and a half hours

If he narrates this to a good director, we can make it into a blockbuster

-Shut up and go away -Follow me

Baktha

I served proper food, but you chose the poisoned one

You poisoned us unfairly, so heartlessly, you bloody sinner!

Just because we had lost our memory

you spun some yarn and made us believe it

Your father is responsible for all this, you dim-witted fool!

Will anyone die as soon as he is poisoned?

-Point -You were in a hurry!

You stuffed yourself as soon as the food was served

If you had been patient for half an hour, I would've been dead in some corner

-Hey! -What do you gain by yelling?

What have you lost now?

All of you died and, as per your father's wish,

you are loitering here as ghosts

Take your hands off!

You killed everyone and now you're justifying your action?

Take your hands off me, Manobala's body double!

We shouldn't spare him

Not only did he kill us

he tricked us and lived here with us all these years

Shanmugam has been loyal to his employer

How can that be a sin?

This palace doesn't belong to us

That's so true

We should understand something

We always wondered what we should do to escape from this palace

Rudra is our salvation

If we return it to her as the rightful owner,

we can leave this palace

What do you think, my beloved husband?

True, only after Rudra came here, all of us went through transformations

Let us give back the palace to her

-Agreed -Correct

Who is at home?

Are you the ghost?

My father's daughter is the ghost

He isn't a ghost He is just a lunatic

-Who are you, sir? -How dare you!

We took pity on you and made you stay here

Are you enacting a drama as if you are possessed by a spirit?

Who is possessed?

Who is refusing to leave this place?

Not us, sir

We are dying to scoot from here

Are you playing me for a fool?

I was the one who said so

"Is she a girl? Or a ghoul?"

Annabelle

I know you

Because you were killed and this palace was usurped

you have come to destroy my family and retrieve this palace for yourself, eh?

Aren't you Annabelle?

Me? Annabelle?

Annabelle?

What's wrong with him, Pa? Why is he calling me Annabelle?

-Is he mad or what? -I agree

Do you know who is Annabelle?

A famous ghost in a Hollywood film

Do I look like a ghost to you?

You want to kill me and seize this palace

I won't let it happen

I'm refuting the fact I am a ghost

Why would I kill you?

If you don't believe me, ask the ghost standing here

Shanmugam?

Shanmugam, where are you?

Come here

-Shan-- -He won't come

That is okay

There is a ghost right beside you Go ahead and ask him

-Ask -Is it you?

Aren't you Annabelle?

Now I know why you were in this palace all this while

Haven't you come to seize this palace?

Get lost, old man!

Seeing her talk to empty air, our grandfather is here for sure

Grandpa, wherever you are

I will kill her in front of you and give this palace back to you

-Will you kill my daughter? -Grab her!

Run, run

Run for your life

-Run -Go and get her

This way

Ma, come this way

-Wait -Why have you stopped, Mummy?

She's going there

-This way? -Come on

This is like a football ground

Where did you go, child?

Didn't you come looking for me?

You remember the past now?

That's what I wanted to ask you

-I need a favour, Shanmugam -Tell me, ma'am

-Turn around -Only then will you tell?

Go ahead

How much I struggled to make you remember your past

Why is she kicking the air?

What are you doing standing on one foot?

Is this the time to ape Goundamani's comedy?

Run, run!

Where did she disappear?

Ma'am... oh, God! Baktha is chasing me

We are coming to help you Wait, don't run

"Sangili-bungili Open the door for me"

Hurry up

Why are they running that way? You come with me, quick

Run! Come this way

Hurry up!

He caught hold of me

I'll get you

Looking at me

-Hey! Let go -You think I'm a joker?

My head is spinning!

Catch it

Dented for life, huh?

Wait for me, I'm coming

Oh, my God!

Hide here

-Don't sleep now -Mummy!

Bro, they are hiding behind the sofa

Push it on him

Run

Which idiot built so many steps?

Dad!

Move aside

Come, come

Don't mess with me I'm just a youngster

Pay heed to my warning

Dad!

Shanmugam, wait

If any of you comes near me, I'll hit you with this gravel

-Get back! -Move aside

All of you stay calm

He and I have a score to settle

Let's decide who wins once for all

Come on

Face me up front

I served you only curd You asked for radish sambar

I had no remorse when you died, but I felt terrible your wife died too

When we are fist-fighting, why are you rambling non-stop?

If a ghost hides from another, we will be in a ghastly mess

Let me hide this side

Where did he go?

-This way or that? -This way

-Come -This direction

No one is around?

-Hello -Hey, you

First, get out of my sight Get out!

Why are you shooing me away?

Do you know I killed an entire family for your sake?

For my sake?

-I'll break your teeth -Why?

Who are they?

They are calling me Annabelle?

I don't remember anything

I am making a humungous effort to make you remember

I'll tell you something now You'll immediately remember

Do you remember we used to go up to the terrace

to stand under the sun to dry our hair?

Why are you taking the life out of me like this?

I told you I don't remember anything

Then listen to me

Do you know who you are?

You were the queen in this palace

I was your commander general

What lies! You told me you were the cook here?

So, you have a crystal-clear memory for this alone?

Wait, tell me what happened in sequential order

Where do I begin?

You are the real Annabelle

You came from London to this place many decades ago

Are you saying I was a foreigner?

Don't spin new tales to me

Which director has an original script?

They just sell old wine in new bottles What to do?

Forget the reel life Come back to our real life

Don't you remember even after I've told you our flash...

Oh, no! Come, ma'am

Oh, God... Ouch!

God help me

Why is this whole place so silent?

All of us are around you

Can't you see us?

How will he be able to see us, darling?

It's so sultry

There's no breeze at all

Poor soul!

Run, Shanmugam

Madam, it's been ages since I saw you with a sword in your hand

Let me see if you have the guts to confront us

It doesn't matter if you come in pairs

Pierce him with that sword, ma'am

He won't be able to hear a single word, shut up!

Whom did you talk to now?

What are you waiting for?

Grab her!

-Shanmugam -All my build-up is wasted effort

He is chasing me

Shanmugam, come soon

Dad... Dad

What, my dear? What happened?

-Where is Ma? -There she comes

You are all gathered here Help me somehow

They are here, huh? I was sitting right there

-I didn't see them -I have no idea what's happening

Brother, what is this?

We are unable to lift anything What grave injustice!

-Shanmugam -What?

Do something

My back is aching

I'm not coming there You fight by yourselves

I know you are Annabelle

Get lost, old man

Annabelle it seems

Like I said before, I'll kill you and give this palace to my grandfather

We shouldn't let this happen, Ma

This palace belongs to Annabelle

Let us return it to her

We have lost the power to touch or lift anything, dear

What happened, dear?

What are you doing?

What is it? What happened?

Hi!

-Hi -Hi!

It's that same feeling when Rudra stepped in here

Why are you going away?

Hi

Hi

You may get hurt

Maintain safe distance

Careful

Okay

Hit him, boss Beat him to a pulp

Give it to him good Don't spare anyone

Sit down

What is the problem?

First of all, who are you?

What is your business here? Leave this palace

Sir, ask him who is to blame

Hey, wait!

I asked you to leave

First, introduce yourself

Kadhir, inspector of police

Sir, sir, 1 minute

Sir, stay right here Don't go anywhere

Being an outsider, you have no idea what has happened here

So, you are the ideal choice to be the mediator and give a just verdict

-Be here -Keep quiet

How will he know, Ma?

How is he connected to what is happening here?

How can he decide when he has no link to the events here?

Tell me

Son of a moron! Shut up

What does it matter who gives the verdict?

Our work should get done

Silence!

I wanted to tell you the moment I stepped in

You look very familiar

You couldn't have met me anywhere

-No chance at all -Brother

I am 100% sure

In some police station

you would've seen a wanted poster of her family of thieves

A family of frauds

Listen, you brand us as frauds because we steal

You are in the same profession being a policeman too

-I know your family too well -Your whole family cheats

Fraud!

I would've thrown all four of you behind bars

I pardoned you out of goodness of my heart

Fraud of the first order

You are behaving in the most disgusting manner, listen to me for a minute

Silence!

-Shut up -Sir...

We accept we are all thieves

At least we are honest

-So what? -This is my grandfather's property

My son made them stay here to chase away the ghosts

Hey! Are we exorcists to chase away ghosts?

-Do we wear garlands made of skulls? -Silence...

Listen to me for a moment

The government has taken over this place

It will be announced as an iconic place

I came to inform that

Which means this will become a national heritage site

and a tourist spot

That means we have to buy a token and enter this palace?

-Definitely -Then why be here?

Why stick around here then? We'll move to our next contract

This won't work for us Token it seems

-See you, boss -Let's go dear

If we steal, it is wrong

If the government steals by passing a law, is that right?

Do whatever you wish

Don't hit us, sir -Sir... no...

Sir, this is our inherited property

Why should we hand it over?

Is it your legacy?

Going by the stories I have heard

you don't even own a single brick in this palace

Quietly make your exit

Had your grandfather's grandfather been alive

we'd have filed a case and put him behind bars

If you don't create a ruckus, you'll be fine

-No, sir -If you have doubts, ask my assistant

We have documents as proof, sir

Make them crouch in a corner I'll come and interrogate

Go, go, you won't find anything inside

Hey, girl!

-Hello? -Boss, Rudra

Is that her name? How do you know?

From when I was young, I always wanted to apprentice under a professional thief

You are in love with her, right?

Yes, how did you find out?

Your pace gives it away

Tomorrow if you marry her

ask her to take me as her assistant

-Get lost! -Boss

She loves lollipops

Give this and propose to her

I have something else I'll handle it, thanks

Rudra

Rudra

-Hey! -What?

I know another palace Shall we go there?

Will I be able to steal at least over there?

By all means

You can take it as your own

Where?

In this village

Where exactly in this village?

If you give me permission, I can build our Taj Mahal

Okay, done

That means?

You said you would build something, go ahead

I don't understand

Thief of my heart! Escaping without a nod

What kind of logic is this?

What is the use of vegetating in this palace all these decades?

Both of them don't remember me one bit

Fine, doesn't matter if they have forgotten me

Both of them have united in this birth That's good enough for me

Let's meet in part two

-Did you hit them? -No

You didn't hit them either?

Then who did?
