Boss, our boys are itching to hit
Just nod your head
We can close her 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...! Don't do
Hey! Pour it all over her
Douse the fire
Come on
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
"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"
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

Hey Sullu!

Which idiot said I am calm?
Did you get all the stuff safely in?
Safe and sound

You are in for sure

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 will do a neat job
- Here's the packet - Okay, bro
'That's all Lie down now'
'Grit your teeth Almost done'

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

[groaning in pain]

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
Whatever be the situation don't lose your temper, son
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

Somehow I will pay you in the next 2 days, bro
Let's find some other place

Nails have been fixed on the walls already
Call me if you need to hammer extra nails

- I am the owner - Then broker?
I am the broker too

- 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"

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?

Hey! Move
Morning jinx!
Wait and watch what you are in for
This isn't your place Go back and sit

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

But if any hidden agenda, he won't hesitate to take your life either
You want me to give or take?

Yes, plant this seed

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?

Attempt is tougher than the paper we failed in the 1st place
Where are you bowling?
Catch whatever he bowls

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! Look here
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

- 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!
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 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!
[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
'IAS Exam - Stage II'
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 making us tense?
- 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 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!
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
Bro, if only you become a collector they will be lamb for the slaughter, no?
- Hello? - Taking the morning train tomorrow?
- Yes - Cancel the train ticket

- 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
Paramesh
You have an exam tomorrow Why are you here?
Let's go, come with me
Hey!

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! Go
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

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 Kicha! What are you doing there?
First floor man Come quick
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

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

'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

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!

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 68 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'

'Water can, akka'
'Do not sell your votes'
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 Slum-board 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

'Greater Chennai Corporation'
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 1500
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?'
You've already got a taste of it!
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?
'He picked up trash for a few days'
'Taught some boys and made them pass'
'So 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
Your shoes too won't get dirty!
'I have reached my college, pa'
'I have entered the classroom'
Acho! Sir has come Bye...bye, pa
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?
[flurry of angry voices]
You dare raise your hand I'll punch your damn face
Akka, I don't have water to wash my child's bum after she craps
We don't have drinking water and you want water to wash a bum!
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

'Ward #145 SS Thottam 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?
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?
- No - NO!
- 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 ****ing 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 even if you strip yourself they will deny you are a woman
Because you have nothing to brag It is all burnt to cinders
Even if you have all the clout
...you will lose one day
I won't die without watching your downfall
What did you say? You wretched female!
Oh gawd!
'Just sign over there, sir'
'Vijayaraghavan #145 Ward Councilor'
[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
Finish him
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
"That boat is life's theme"
Please forgive me
"To make you realize yoUr dream"
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 fuck 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
'Rajamanickam Cheif Minister'
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
'This isn't a local body election'
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 in Velachery also, so I can contest as 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 Velachery'
'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'
'Vote Counting Day'
Hey Arulmozhi
'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]
'Long live our leader!'
'Long live our leader!'
'In Kanchipuram, Dharmapuri, Coimbatore, Tiruppur, we are behind by 13 seats, sir'
Sir, statistics show
- Equal win to both the Parties - What?
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!
'Tamil Nadu Munettra Katchi'
"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'
Get up, Sullu is standing You'll happily sit, huh?
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
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
Governor's rule is the same as the Opposition getting the seat of power
- 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
'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 40 to 50 crores'
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
You are always our CM
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
