Beginning (2023) Movie Script
1
Ma...
Ma...
Hmm?
I am--I am awake, Ma.
Should I--Should I wake up?
No. You go to sleep.
Let me--Let me come with you
to the market, Ma.
No, close your eyes
and go back to sleep.
You said you'd take me
last night.
But now, you are saying no--no.
I didn't mean morning.
I meant evening.
By evening,
you mean after work--after work?
Yes.
Okay--okay, then.
I am going to--going to
close my eyes and sleep.
Sekar, here she comes.
Bro, should I wear the mask too?
That's the point of it.
Mahesh, start the car.
[girl screaming]
Keep your eyes
on the bloody road!
Oh, no.
She fell down.
Nobody get down from the car.
She will approach us.
Are you stupid or what?
The roads are so empty. Why would
you come and ram into my scooter?
Are you driving in your sleep or what?
Lower your windows.
Who are you people?
Get her!
Get her, man.
-Somebody, help me!
Who the hell are you? What do you want?
Let me go.
Let go of me, man.
-Shut her mouth.
What happened?
-She bit my hand.
Somebody help me.
-Where's the kerchief?
It's in the car.
Why did you leave it there?
Lift her up.
[muffled cries]
[muffled cries]
Hold her down, man.
She's reaching for her phone!
Reaching for your phone, are you?
Sekar, go in the front.
I'll follow you
in her scooter.
Ma--Ma?
-Yes, it's me.
I got up soon after you left.
I couldn't sleep.
Now that you're up,
why didn't you go to the toilet?
I wanted to poop, but you told me to
close my eyes and stay in bed. So I did.
Fine. Go now.
Shall I fold the bedsheet?
No, let it be.
Let it be...
I'll fold it later.
What will you drink, Balu?
Horlicks or Boost?
I want--I want Boost.
Even Dhoni drinks it.
Mom, it's itchy!
Where is it itchy?
On my wee-wee!
A lot, or just a bit?
A lot! Like I desperately
need to scratch, Ma!
SEKAR: Bring that.
Okay, then. You can scratch.
But you hit me the other day
for scratching it.
I hit you the other day
because you scratched for too long.
Just scratch and take your hand off,
then I wouldn't hit you.
I didn't do it deliberately.
I felt like doing it.
If you scratch too much,
you will get bruises and bleed.
You will be in pain.
Isn't that what we have medicines for?
Are you itchy now, or not?
If I keep talking,
the itchiness goes away.
Okay, then.
Come drink your boost.
Here.
Ma, look...
I've got a moustache!
Look at Ma's moustache.
It's huge!
You've got a huge moustache.
Come on, Ma...
spinach again?
Yes, we're having spinach for lunch.
I'll make it nice and mushy
with a lot of lentils, okay?
Not spinach again!
I'm going to fry
your favourite 'appalams' with it.
I want lots and lots of 'appalam', Ma.
Okay.
What about breakfast food?
Vermicelli 'kichdi'.
You mean tiny noodles?
Yes, tiny noodles.
Then I'll use a fork.
Fine.
Here you go.
Why is she still unconscious?
You went heavy with the chloroform.
How was I to know?
I've never kidnapped before.
It's not like I kidnap girls
every other day.
What do we do?
It's fine, come on.
Shall I chop this, Ma?
No, no, no...
let it be.
The spinach.
-No, put that down.
I'm getting a call...
Answer it.
It's Dad.
Don't panic. Talk to him.
-MA: Go out and play.
Hello?
Sekar, are you up?
I just woke up, Dad.
Your mother wants to talk to you.
Yes, Ma?
Son, it slipped my mind.
There's 4,500 rupees in the cupboard.
Go and give it to Mangalam.
I was supposed to,
but forgot all about it.
She's called me ten times
since yesterday.
Go and give it to her.
I won't do it.
You always refuse to give me money!
But now you've got money
to invest in chit funds and go on tours?
Useless son of mine.
Won't you make yourself useful?
You're idling at home.
Why can't you go give it?
Fine, you wait there.
I'll ask Mangalam to come pick it up.
No, I'll go give it to her.
How come?
You just refused to go.
Will you really do it?
-Not if you use that tone.
Fine, do it immediately.
-I said I'd do it. Hang up now.
Come on, man.
Hold on, man.
Or my mother will get suspicious.
Fine, let it go.
Mahesh Brother. Come here.
Here's what you do.
The girl's scooter is parked downstairs.
Remember the Periyar statue
on our way here?
There's a parking spot near it.
Go park it there.
Buy yourself some food
at the adjacent tiffin stall.
I don't want anything.
Buy a pomegranate juice.
Without ice.
Take an auto back.
Get off the auto in the main road
and walk back.
Don't ride all the way here.
How about some food
for her?
We're not here on a picnic.
Just help yourself.
Let's go, Sekar.
Why do you need him?
You're just going to buy food.
You can go alone.
Let him shower and freshen up.
What will you eat?
My tummy feels weird.
Buy me 'appam' and milk.
Brother, one moment.
Sekar, get the suitcase.
Why do you need it now?
Just get it.
Brother...
We won't need it here anymore.
Leave it in the car.
Yes, Mahesh.
Just take this away.
Be careful on your way downstairs.
-I will. Mind your business.
What do we do now?
What is it, man?
Can your friend be trusted?
Of course. Why would you ask such a thing?
You go and shower now.
Ma, Ma...
Ma, I scored!
Ma, I'll go shower now.
Ma, I showered.
Will you shower?
Dry your hair and put on clothes.
-It's dry.
I am so beautiful!
What's he doing?
Just be quiet.
MA: Balu...
Why is he being so weird?
He's suspicious of you,
and now you're suspicious of him?
Both of you only need to trust me.
Don't worry, and just eat.
Have you eaten?
-Yes.
There's work to be done.
Sekar, the two of us will
go out for a bit and be right back.
Where are you going?
I'll tell you when I return.
What would I do if
the girl wakes up?
Not a problem. I locked the door,
and I have the key.
But I'm right here.
Why would you lock it?
Stop asking so many questions, Sekar.
Brother, let's go.
Tiny noodles!
Okay, Ma is off to work now.
You should eat on time.
Okay?
I will call to check on you.
Be a good boy and
take care of the house, okay?
Good boy!
Oh, no!
Why is he calling now?
Boss? -You fool! You locked the shop
and took the key with you?
How do I open the shop?
I can't keep the shop shut
because you took a day off.
Should I come to
Your Majesty's place to collect it?
I'll bring it in ten minutes, boss.
-Hurry up.
Hey!
Open the door.
Why have you locked me in?
Hey!
[groans]
[screaming]
[Doraemon playing on TV]
Why isn't this working?
Damn!
Why isn't number 1 working?
Another emergency number?
Women helpline.
[groans in anger]
Every emergency number has '1'.
I'll call Vetri, then.
-BALU: You are trapped!
BALU: Let's see how you escape!
'9' doesn't work either?
What's Swetha's number?
87618761...
[groans]
Her number has a '1' too.
[on TV]: I told you,
there are no ghosts here.
I'll call JustDial Directory.
'8' doesn't work too?
[on TV]: Are you trying
to fool us?
[on TV]: You are responsible
for the plight of our school.
[on TV]: This building is going to
collapse in a couple of years anyway.
[on TV]: We are just painting over it.
[on TV]: The truth is, we are beautifying
your school. We deserve credit for that.
[on TV]: What are you going to do?
-Punish you for fooling us.
[on TV]: We are going to
burn this school down.
Don't do it...
bad boy--bad boy.
[on TV]: Son, can you step out?
Your charade is over.
[on TV]: I'm warning you
to come out.
[on TV]: No matter what happens,
none of us should get scared.
[on TV]: Come out!
[on TV]: This must be their doing.
[on TV]: I'm sure this is Doraemon's
doing. Don't let this scare you.
[on TV]: Doraemon, you are truly talented.
I got scared-scared!
It was just the
phone ringing--phone ringing.
Hello, Ma?
Is anybody there?
Can you hear me?
Hello? What happened?
-A ghost-ghost! On the phone...
I don't even know the number.
I will re-dial.
Which one is re-dial?
Okay.
It's ringing.
Please answer!
Dammit, he's not answering!
Pick up, pick up...
This isn't Ma's number.
Come on!
Hello--hello, who is this-this?
-Thank God. Please don't hang up.
Three men have kidnapped me
and locked me up in a room.
I don't know where I am,
or who my abductors are.
They took my phone. I can't call
any other number from this phone.
Thank god, I was able to
reach your number.
I work at Infosys. They kidnapped me
on my way back from night shift.
Please save me somehow, sir.
Hello-hello. Whom do you want to speak to?
Sir, I told you.
I have been locked up.
Not sir. Not sir.
You can call me Balasubramani.
Balasubramani sir, I've been
locked up in a room.
Save me somehow, sir.
-You locked yourself up in a room?
But why?
Just let yourself out.
What? No, I've been kidnapped
and locked up, sir.
They locked you up? Why?
What did you do wrong?
What are you saying?
Balasubramani... please pass
the phone to a grown up around you.
I am a grown up-grown up.
Talk to me. Talk to me.
I just told you. I have been locked up.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Of course. Yes-yes. Why wouldn't
I understand? I am not a child.
Why do you keep repeating yourself?
No, no. I am not.
I only say it once-once.
Fine, let that go.
Hey, I am being serious here
and you are laughing?
Doraemon just escaped.
I said I've been kidnapped.
You're watching a cartoon
and giggling like an idiot!
Who's an idiot-idiot?
You are. You are.
Hang up.
-Please don't hang up.
Balasubramani, please don't hang up.
Oh, dammit. He hung up.
Who's this idiot?
What do I do?
I'm unable to call any other number.
Will he even answer?
What's he doing!
Why won't he answer?
Answer, damn it!
Hello? Are you there?
Balasubramani, can you hear me?
Balasubramani, please say something.
I am angry with you.
-I am sorry, Balasubramani.
I was wrong.
I am sorry.
What did you call me?
You can't say that to anyone.
I was wrong. Forgive me.
I won't say that to anyone again.
Say sorry-sorry,
or I won't talk.
But I just said sorry.
Not on your own.
Say it only when I ask you.
Say it now.
-Balasubramani, thousand times sorry.
I will never say that to anyone.
Sorry. Please forgive me.
Fine-fine, I forgive you.
Where was I?
Three people caught you--
-Yes, Balasubramani.
I am being held in a room.
You must save me somehow.
What wrong did you do?
-I did nothing wrong.
They only lock you up
when you do something wrong.
No, Balasubramani.
They do it even otherwise.
No. They only lock you up
when you do something wrong.
They locked me up
because I did something wrong.
You've been locked up?
Don't lie, Balasubramani.
I'm not lying. Not lying.
I have lied before many times.
But then I stopped.
Mother promise.
I'm not lying.
Who has locked you up?
My mother locks me up.
Is your mother home?
Pass the phone to her.
Ma has gone to work.
To the office.
You know the big road-big road?
She's on the third floor in the building.
She will return at 5
in the evening.
We'll go shopping
when she's back--
I am in danger, Balasubramani.
I need somebody's help.
You need help-help?
Yes, I need help.
I will help.
How can I help?
I have to get out of here, somehow.
Won't the poor people
look for you? -No!
Who has locked you up?
-Ma locks me up.
But it's not Ma who's locked me up.
I know. You said three men did.
-Yes, they are bad.
Bad boy? Bad boy?
Yes, bad boys.
Bad or very bad?
Very, very bad.
-Then run off to your home.
How could I?
I have been locked in.
Where?
-I don't know where.
They didn't tell you?
Why would he do that, Balasubramani?
You should have asked-asked.
They wouldn't tell me
even if I asked.
They would if I asked.
Pass the phone to them,
I'll ask them.
I told you they were bad boys.
Oh, right.
Bad boys won't tell you.
Don't ask them.
Wait, I will come.
Balasubramani? What are you doing?
Let me think-think!
No need.
Just listen to me.
I am listening. Tell-tell.
Do you know how to make con-calls?
I know pop corn.
But what's a con-call?
You do know how to make
a conference call?
How do I do that?
Ma never taught me-taught me.
Fine, is yours
an Android phone?
I don't know if
it's called that.
Fine, just do as I tell you.
There's an 'add call' option
on the left side of your phone display.
Dial the number I tell you to,
and we'll be connected via con-call.
Then you can just--
Hello?
Hello? Hello?
Balasubramani? Are you there?
Did it get cut?
Why did he hang up?
But it's not working!
Con-call...
[phone ringing]
Hello-hello?
-What happened, Balasubramani?
How-how do I make that call?
It's not going though. -It's not?
What phone do you have?
The phone-phone I use
to talk to Ma.
A land line phone?
Stupid me...
Balasubramani, is yours a landline phone?
Yes-yes. You could say that.
Balasubramani,
do you have a paper and pen?
White paper?
Any damn paper.
I have white paper, but not ink pen.
Is lead pen okay?
Anything is fine, Balasubramani.
Just take the pen out.
Hold on, I'll come.
Don't hang up-hang up.
Please hurry up.
Wait right there.
I will come.
God, what's taking you so long?
Hello?
Are you there, Balasubramani?
Hello?
Hello? What's taking you so long?
I'm drawing margins.
God, you don't need to draw margins.
Just write down what I tell you.
No margins?
Let me erase-erase it then.
You can erase it later, Balasubramani.
Just write down what I tell you.
Tell me-tell me, what to write?
Do you know 1,2,3?
I know. Till 100.
Should I count to 100?
Some other time.
Just write the number
I tell you now.
But you haven't told me what number.
Write 96.
96-96?
-Yes, 96.
Next, write four four.
Double four? Double four?
-Yes, 44.
Again 44.
As in?
Oh, God. Write another 44.
How many fours?
Is it four fours in total?
Yes, Balasubramani. 4444.
Well then, say it like that.
I can't erase lead pen, can I?
Sorry. Shall I tell you
the next number?
Tell-tell me.
Next, write sixteen.
-1-6?
Yes. 1-6.
Next, write 75.
Seventy five-seventy five?
Yes, Balasubramani.
It is seventy five.
Yes, it is seventy five.
Now you're the one
repeating yourself.
You're right, Balasubramani.
I am wrong. I will work on it.
It's okay-okay. Not wrong.
Tell me the next number.
What?
The next number?
You've got ten numbers, right?
I've got ten numbers.
Read it out for me.
96-4444-16-75
Hang on.
Have you got it right?
It's right, Balasubramani.
What now? What now?
It's my friend's number.
Call him and--
Is he a good friend
or a bad friend?
He is good.
Tell him that three men--
-What's his name?
His name is Vetri. Tell him that
three men have kidnapped Nithya.
Who's Nithya?
-Oh, God. My name is Nithya.
Nice name-nice name.
My name is Balasubramani.
-I know, you already told me.
Did I tell you--?
-Please don't interrupt me.
Hello? Are you on the line?
Hello? Hello? Balasubramani?
Are you online?
But you said not to interrupt!
Sorry, Balasubramani.
Call up that number,
and Vetri will answer.
Tell him Nithya has been kidnapped,
and he will do what it takes to save me.
Will you please do this for me?
Please, Balasubramani?
Will you?
Will you call Vetri?
Hello?
Hello, Balasubramani?
Hello? Are you online?
You can speak now!
But I can't make calls-calls.
You can't make calls?
No. I can't make calls-calls.
You don't have
outgoing facility?
Yeah. It won't go through.
-Please stop playing around.
I'm not playing-playing.
I play on Sundays.
Bruce Lee and I play cricket.
Balasubramani...
Please listen to me.
You cannot make calls?
Yeah, I can't-can't.
Why didn't you
just say so earlier?
But you never asked-asked.
Come on! What would you
do in an emergency?
What kind of a mother
would lock her son up...
...and leave him with a phone
that can't make calls?
Is your mother a woman or a demon?
Don't talk about Ma.
Don't talk about Ma.
Why do you talk about Ma?
I will hang up-hang up.
Please don't hang up, Balasubramani.
Don't hang up.
-Why do you talk about Ma?
Please forgive me, Balasubramani.
I shouldn't have said that.
But please don't hang up.
I am begging you.
I'm sorry, I was wrong.
I will not say that about anyone again.
Don't say that about Ma.
-I won't say that about anyone.
Let it go. Forgive me.
-Don't say that about Ma.
Balasubramani...
Tell me, Nithya.
Your mother has locked you up...
Yes, she has.
Who would you call
if there's an emergency?
I would call Ma.
How would you call her?
I would call from my phone.
But your phone
doesn't have outgoing.
How can you call her?
I can call Ma's number.
You can call your Ma?
Yes, I can call Ma.
Why didn't you say so?
You never asked-asked.
My bad, you're right.
You make many-many mistakes.
How many more will you make?
I don't know, Balasubramani.
Does your phone display ten numbers?
Yes, it does.
Tell me the number.
90-87-22-25 again 25.
Okay, fine.
Superb. Call up your mother.
Tell her that Nithya,
from Infosys-okay forget that -
Just tell her a girl called Nithya
has been kidnapped and locked up.
Tell her that the girl asked to be saved,
and tell your mother to call me.
The number you just told me?
Your mother can call me on that number.
Then I will talk to your mother.
Will you do this for me?
But my mother won't believe it.
She will believe you.
Please tell her this.
Can't you see I'm in danger.
Do this for me.
I will talk-talk for your sake.
For your sake-sake.
Thanks, Balasubramani.
No mention-no mention.
Shall I hang up?
Hang up-hang up.
How else will I call Ma?
Hello-hello Ma...
Tell me, Balu.
Ma, a poor girl... Infosys...
Nithya... Poor girl...
They locked-locked her up.
She needs to be saved-saved.
Balu. Ma's busy.
I know-I know, Ma.
I won't disturb you at work.
But Nithya is in trouble-trouble.
Bad boy... they've locked her up.
She needs to be saved-saved.
I'll tell you her number? Her number?
Will you call her? -Balu...
You swore on Ma
that you won't lie, didn't you?
I'm not lying-lying, Ma.
I did promise.
Poor Nithya needs to be saved-saved.
I know-know I promised.
I won't lie-lie.
Call Nithya. Call Nithya. Call Nithya.
-Balu! Balu!
Ma will come home early
and take you to the beach.
Beach? But you said you'd take me
to the shop.
We'll go to the beach
then go shopping.
Okay?
-Okay-okay Ma.
Ma, I want two horse rides
at the beach.
Okay.
Okay, Ma.
Did you feed the babies?
I did-I did.
I fed them.
Dora bit-bit Ninja.
You should tell him not to.
He won't listen to me.
Fine, I will once I get home.
Did you take your medicines?
No, Ma.
I will stay on the line.
Go get the tablets.
Okay, wait.
I'm getting it.
Which one are you getting?
One of the blue ones,
and a white one. -Correct.
Take it.
Did you swallow?
I swallowed-swallowed.
Good boy.
Okay, I'll call after lunch.
Okay, Ma.
-Sleep for a bit.
I'm hanging up.
Ma, Ma... but you need to
save-save Nithya.
Call her-call her-call her.
Call 90-87-22-25-25, Ma.
Ma-Ma. Hello?
Ma?
She hung up.
I promised-promised
that I won't lie.
I didn't lie. I didn't lie.
I didn't lie.
I didn't lie, Ma.
[inaudible muttering]
Is it Balasubramani's mother?
I am Nithya, Ma. I've been
kidnapped and held in a room.
I asked Balasubramani to call you, Ma.
Save me somehow, Ma.
Hello?
Hello? Ma?
Can you hear me?
Hello? Ma?
Are you online?
Hello? Ma?
[speaking Hindi]
Rohith, you finally answered?
Why was your phone switched off?
Where were you gone?
Sir, I can't understand you.
Sir, I am in danger.
I have been kidnapped and held.
Please save me somehow, sir.
Brother, please hear me out.
Please wait.
Please hear me out. Please.
When will you pay me back?
-I am in serious danger.
You owe me money, you mongrel.
-I have been locked up somewhere.
Save me somehow.
Are you listening?
I don't understand a word you're saying.
I don't speak Hindi.
Do you speak English?
Please try to understand, sir.
I am stuck in a situation.
Some people have kidnapped me, sir.
I really need help.
Sir, please try to understand!
Please listen to me, sir.
Bloody asshole, hear me out!
Hello? Hello?
He hung up!
What's with everyone?
Will he even answer?
Hello? Hello?
I didn't lie. I didn't lie to Ma.
Listen, Balasubramani.
I know you didn't lie.
You know-know?
That I won't lie to Ma?
But Ma didn't believe.
Please be patient, Balasubramani.
What did Ma say?
She said she'd come home early.
She said she'd take me to the beach.
She said I lied...
She said she'd take me
two rounds horse riding.
Horse riding. Then shopping.
Fine, go horse riding.
Did you tell Ma about me?
I told-told.
But Ma didn't believe-believe.
What do I do?
I believe you, Balasubramani.
-You believe-believe me?
But I am unable to help-help you.
I am unable to help-help.
Please calm down.
Only you can help me now.
But Ma didn't believe-believe.
How can I help?
Even if your mother doesn't believe, or
if you can't make outgoing phone calls...
you can call some
emergency numbers.
For example,
if you call 100 from your phone--
No, I shouldn't-shouldn't.
Shouldn't call 100.
Please do. It won't be a problem.
-You don't know.
The police will come.
Let the police come.
I will talk to them. They won't hurt you!
There was a huge problem, you know?
You don't know--
-Please just call them, Balasubramani.
What happened to you
that caused such a huge problem?
Shall I tell you-tell you?
You know what happened that day?
This is the Control Room. Tell me.
This is Balasubramani.
There is a power cut at home.
Turn it back on.
I need to watch Doremon-Doremon.
Pass the phone to a grown-up.
I am a grown-up too.
Turn the power on.
This is not the electricity board. It's
the police Law and Order Control Room.
You must only call here in case
of emergency like fights or robbery.
Call up the EB office for powercuts.
Hang up now.
But this is an emergency. Turn the
power on. I need to watch Doremon.
What's more important-important
work than that?
Hang up before I lose my cool.
He hung up-hung up!
I want to watch Doraemon.
You won't do your job?
Emergency, huh?
I'm coming for you.
Hello. City Control Room.
Tell me.
There's a thief-thief.
He's going to murder me!
Hurry-hurry.
-Don't panic, tell me your address.
My address is...
Catch him-catch him.
Thief-thief.
CONSTABLE: Where is the thief?
He got away-got away.
CONSTABLE: How did he get away?
He got away through the grill.
CONSTABLE: How did he get in?
He came in through the window-window.
Here's the rope-rope.
He came to kill me
with a knife-knife.
SI: He is having fun
at our expense!
SI: Stop blabbering like an idiot.
Who's an idiot?
You're an idiot.
CONSTABLE: What did you say
to the officer?
SI: Wait, how did you
lock yourself in?
NEIGHBOUR: Hello, sir.
Why is that guy here?
Tell me to leave-leave.
SI: Who are you?
-Sir, I am their neighbour.
SI: What is it?
NEIGHBOUR: Sir, the boy is
mentally not okay.
Who's mental? You're mental.
SI: What are you saying?
NEIGHBOUR: Yes, sir.
His mother locks him up and goes to work.
NEIGHBOUR: He won't stay put,
keeps getting into trouble.
SI: You can't do such things.
This is a major offence.
SI: Give me his mother's number.
-NEIGHBOUR: Sir, I don't have it.
SI: How could you not have
your neighbour's number?
NEIGHBOUR: We had a minor disagreement,
and aren't talking.
NEIGHBOUR: Ask him for her number.
SI: Do you know
your mother's number?
I know-know.
-SI: Tell me.
I shouldn't-shouldn't tell strangers.
I shouldn't tell strangers.
-SI: We're the police. You can tell us.
Good police or bad police?
-SI: We're good police. What's the number?
Tell that man to shut his ears.
Or I won't tell you.
CONSTABLE: Don't disrespect elders!
-SI: Oh, shut up.
NEIGHBOUR: That's how he talks.
NEIGHBOUR: I'll shut my ears.
SI: Fine, tell us the number.
98-84
20-69 and sixty five.
SI: What's he saying?
CONSTABLE: Sir,
that's the number written here.
SI: Call up the number
and tell his mother to come.
No! Why-why are you calling Ma?
-CONSTABLE: Calm down!
The power is back. Get-get out.
Get out of my house.
Get out!
-SI: Sit down.
SI: You thought we were jobless?
Have you called his mother?
CONSTABLE: Sir, it's ringing.
SI: Is this his first time or has he
done such stupid things before?
NEIGHBOUR: Few days back, he called the
fire service claiming there was a fire.
Seeing smoke from inside, they broke in
and found him burning newspapers.
SI: Did his mother answer?
CONSTABLE: The line got disconnected.
-SI: Call again, then.
CONSTABLE: I am trying, sir.
-Don't call Ma!
NEIGHBOUR: Sir...
SI: What?
NEIGHBOUR: Once, one of his fish died.
It's not fish.
It was called Bheem.
NEIGHBOUR: Once, he called the ambulance
when a fish died.
SI: So this is a habit for him?
Did the call get through?
CONSTABLE: Hello?
Sir, his mother is on the line.
I told you not to call Ma!
-SI: Hello?
Ma-Ma...
Did you hear what they said?
They said they'd lock me in prison
for locking you up and abusing you.
You refuse to stay with anybody.
If I leave the door unlocked,
you wander away.
And now you've started lying.
What am I supposed to do if you keep
calling people and getting in trouble?
I won't-won't, Ma...
-Maybe they were right...
I should go to prison
and you can be happy.
Ma, I won't lie-lie.
Please don't cry.
I won't make calls.
Please don't cry. I won't make calls, Ma.
-Go away!
Leave me alone.
Ma, I won't lie-lie.
I won't lie-lie anymore.
Don't feel bad-feel bad, Ma.
I promise on you, Ma.
-Let go!
I promise, I won't do it, Ma.
I won't lie-lie, Ma.
I won't lie-lie.
I won't make calls, Ma.
Please don't feel bad, Ma.
Balu was wrong. Balu was wrong.
Balu was wrong-wrong-wrong.
Wrong-wrong-wrong-wrong.
-Stop! Don't do that.
Don't feel bad, Ma.
I won't lie-lie Ma.
What could you have done,
when I lock you up?
I won't make calls, Ma.
I promise.
Nithya, are you there?
I'm here, I'm listening.
I promised Ma I won't make calls.
So I can't-can't make calls.
I understand, Balasubramani.
But I am in danger.
Shouldn't you save me?
But I swore on Ma.
If I make a call, Ma will die-die.
She will be fine, Balasubramani.
I swear on my Ma,
nothing will happen to your Ma.
Where-where is your Ma?
My Ma died when I was a child.
-See-see!
Ma will die if I
make a false promise.
No, Balasubramani.
That's not why my mother died.
If I lie, I will die.
No-no. Don't-don't do that.
You're a good-good girl.
So don't do that.
Take it back-back.
Wait, I'll be back-back.
Balasubramani? Where are you going?
Balasubramani, what are you doing?
Hello? Tell me what's wrong?
What are you doing?
-I took the mother promise upon myself.
Ma won't die-die.
You won't die-die either.
Only I will die, if anything.
Don't worry-worry.
I will make a call-call.
Okay?
I will make the call.
You hang up-hang up.
Okay, I'm hanging up.
Hello, this is the Control Room.
How can I help?
Hello,
this is Balasubramani-Balasubramani.
Are you well-well?
I am well, son.
Who are you? What do you want?
You know Nithya from Infosys-Infosys?
Need to save her.
They've got her.
Hurry up and save her.
Poor-poor Nithya.
They've locked her up-up.
You need to save her.
Are you Balasubramani?
Yes, I am Balasubramani-Balasubramani.
You have nothing better to do?
-Hurry up-hurry up.
You won't come?
Poor Nithya.
Poor Nithya. Need to save her.
Listen, Balasubramani...
You'd better hang up now.
Or I'll lock you and your mother up
in a prison.
Why would you lock up Ma
in a prison?
No-no. You go to prison-prison.
Don't lock up Ma...
-Hang up now, you idiot.
Hello-hello?
He hung up.
Poor Ma-Poor ma.
Need to save Nithya.
Need to save Nithya.
I don't want Ma
to go to prison.
Nithya needs help.
Nithya needs help.
Why isn't he answering?
Answer the phone!
How could you loaf around
in the middle of this?
I just left five minutes back,
to give the money like my mother said.
Don't give me excuses
like a child. -Sorry, buddy.
What's that stain on your shirt?
-It's nothing.
Hey, why have you brought this back?
What is it?
-Open it and see for yourself.
Who is that?
-How would I know?
Where did you go?
-We went to a coffee shop.
We ordered coffee from the parking spot.
The coffee came.
We were drinking coffee.
He was texting someone
from her phone.
Suddenly, someone got into the car
and asked for Nithya.
He said, "Come I'll take you to her."
and smothered his face with the kerchief.
Who is this?
Someone we need.
What is your plan?
What are you doing?
Why have you brought him here?
Don't ask so many questions, Sekar.
There's booze in that bag.
Get started, I'll be right back.
Who is this for?
When we went to buy clothes,
he asked me to buy a shirt.
I got one for you too.
Are we on some shopping spree?
Why are you asking me?
Go ask your friend.
You got me into this mess!
Who are you?
Why have you kidnapped me?
What do you want?
The one thing I hate the most
is being questioned.
Why are you holding that?
You won't need it.
-I need to get out of here.
Let me go.
-Think we brought you just to let you go?
I brought you a gift.
Take a look.
You'll like it.
Vetri!
What's wrong?
How did you end up here?
Vetri, wake up.
What happened?
What's happened to you? Wake up.
-Don't be afraid.
He's not dead yet.
-Wake up, Vetri.
Don't know if he will need to die.
-Why have you taken the both of us?
What do you want?
Who the hell are you?
Always in such a hurry.
Want to know who I am?
Chandru!
Not bad. You do remember.
Isn't this the first time
we're meeting?
Hi.
Vetri, wake up.
Vetri, wake up.
Vetri, wake up.
Vetri, wake up.
Vetri, look at me.
Vetri, look at me.
It's alright.
Look at me.
It's alright.
Wake up.
Wake up.
-Nithya!
Where are we, Nithya?
Are you okay?
-What's going on here?
How did you end up here?
How did I end up here?
Where's your phone? You told me to come.
-I'll explain, be patient.
What's that on your hand?
-I'll explain.
It's them. Who the hell are you?
What do you want?
-Close the door.
And that's the right way
to use chloroform.
Why have you kidnapped us?
What do you want?
Don't touch me.
-Calm down, brother.
So many questions!
Your lover didn't
tell you who I am?
Who is he, Nithya?
Brother, let me tell you.
I am one of her 4,000 Facebook friends,
just like you.
It could have been me in your place.
But she rejected me.
What's he saying, Nithya?
I didn't disturb her,
thinking maybe she was a lesbian.
But when a girl who rejected me
said yes to you, I couldn't comprehend it.
Why did she turn me down?
Why did she accept you?
I brought you down to find answers.
That's all there is to it.
What's he on about, Nithya?
The primary reason why a girl would
like or dislike in a guy is his character.
And you've displayed your
cheap character only too well.
Don't even talk to him, Nithya.
You are correct.
I am indeed a cheap guy.
I admit.
Brother, do you love Nithya?
Yes.
You're going to marry her?
Yes, she's gonna be my wife.
Okay, brother.
I'll give you two options.
I'll just let you go. Don't tell anyone
that you were here or that you saw Nithya.
No way. What's he blabbering, Nithya?
If not, aren't you going to marry Nithya?
Marry her right here
and take your wife away.
Marry her?
What the hell?
For our satisfaction, we'll shoot a video.
What the--
Think about it, brother.
One minute.
Fine, assuming I do marry her,
how do I know that you'll let us go?
I will keep my word, brother.
Vetri, don't believe him.
He is not a good person.
I know all about him.
He's playing a game.
Nithya, listen to me.
Don't you love me?
What a stupid question!
We decided to marry anyway.
-In this room?
Amidst these strangers?
Listen to me, Nithya.
-Don't say anything, Vetri.
What do you expect from me?
To fight these three men?
But we can't just obey him.
Stop being stupid!
Why aren't you getting this?
We need to get out of here, Nithya.
Who cares who watches us
get married?
Why do you mind marrying me?
-Be patient.
He says he's your Facebook friend.
I don't understand what's happening--
See, I have a past.
Let's not talk about it now.
Let it be, Nithya.
Let's find a way out of here.
Exactly what I'm telling you.
-Nithya, please hear me out.
Let's first get out of this fucking place.
You're rushing in, Vetri.
You won't listen to a word I say.
Do as you please.
We'll get married.
Superb, brother.
Here's the nuptial thread.
Brother...
Can you record a video for us?
Brother, wait a minute!
Something's missing.
What do you want?
Wait, we'll be right back.
What now?
Where are you going?
Nithya, where did you get that phone?
Who are you calling?
What's happening?
What's going on here?
-I'll explain.
Please tell me what you're upto.
Nithya...Nithya...
-Hold on a second, Vetri.
Sorry, Nithya.
Sorry, Nithya.
I slept off after taking the pill.
-Did you call the police?
I did call-call. But the police
didn't believe-believe.
They believed me when I lied
but not when I spoke the truth-truth.
What do I do?
NITHYA: What are you doing?
NITHYA: Let him go! Let go!
BALU: Who-who is that?
Who-who is that?
BALU: What's going on, Nithya?
BALU: Don't hurt her.
Leave her alone-alone!
NITHYA: Vetri...
NITHYA: Let go of us!
BALU: Vetri, have you arrived?
To save Nithya-Nithya?
NITHYA: Don't harm us.
CHANDRU: Brother, come here.
Save Nithya.
Save Nithya.
Don't hit-hit her!
Don't hit-hit her!
Vetri, hit them!
Hit them!
VETRI: Nithya...
Vetri, save Nithya.
CHANDRU: Calm down.
-BALU: Who the hell are you?
BALU: Why have you locked Nithya up?
Guys, wait outside.
-Why?
Go on, I'll explain.
VETRI: Just let us go.
Brother, could you take this suitcase out?
We won't be needing it anymore.
Bruce Lee-Bruce Lee! Hurry up here.
Come and save Nithya.
Come and save Nithya!
Hurry up!
Can't you hear me?
Somebody hurry up and please help.
VETRI: Let her go,
don't do this.
Nithya! Nithya! Nithya!
NITHYA: Take your hands off me.
BALU: It's wrong-wrong.
Nithya!
CHANDRU: There's no point
shouting, brother.
BALU: Don't do it.
It's wrong.
Please help!
Please help!
NITHYA: Let me go!
BALU: Nithya! Nithya!
Nithya needs to be saved!
Nithya-Nithya...
Nithya! Nithya!
Oh, no!
Lift him up, man.
What has he done!
Why have you tied up the groom?
How will he tie the nuptial thread?
Brother, a little help?
Where's the nuptial thread?
Oh, there it is.
Here's your nuptial thread, brother.
Oh, the bride's not ready?
I'll be back.
Nithya, come here.
Sit up.
The bride's ready, brother.
Come on.
I'll sit over there.
Tie the knot!
Give me your phone.
Don't trouble yourself,
I'll shoot the video.
Don't hesitate.
Tie it.
I will keep my word.
No.
I am leaving.
What did you say?
Oh, you're choosing the first option?
Didn't I tell you earlier?
You wouldn't listen.
We won't be needing this anymore.
Got anything to say to Nithya?
-No.
Just let me go.
-Go talk to her.
Brother, come on.
Let's give them some privacy.
You talk to her,
we'll wait outside.
Nithya...
Have you spoken to her?
Carry on.
This was the "good character"
you mentioned, eh?
These girls are all the same.
They're not to be trusted.
My friend has a car. He will drop you
wherever you want to go.
Brother, let's have a drink?
-I am leaving.
Come on, just another five minutes.
Sit down.
How can you trust him
and let him out? He's seen your face.
What if he talks?
No, I won't.
Trust me.
I won't tell anybody.
You heard the guy.
Here you go.
-No.
Come on, have a drink.
Sekar, trust is the
basic foundation of life.
Mahesh Brother, here's what you do...
Can I trouble you to
drop him off wherever he wishes?
Yeah, brother?
Nithya...
Nithya-Nithya...
Nithya?
What happened, Nithya?
Talk to me, Nithya.
Are you there?
Talk to me, Nithya.
Talk-talk to me.
Balasubramani...
Nithya, what happened?
What happened, Nithya?
Talk to me.
Are you angry with me?
I am sorry. Talk to me.
Talk to me, Nithya.
-Why would I be angry with you?
I am only angry with myself.
I hate my life.
I wish to die.
-Don't say that-say that!
Why should you die?
Don't die-die.
Take that back!
That's wrong-wrong.
You won't understand what happened here.
Or you wouldn't be speaking this way.
I do understand-understand.
What happened to you
happened-happened to Ma too.
Poor Ma-poor Ma.
Poor you-poor you.
Poor women.
Wrong-wrong.
Dad left-left us.
He said I am mad
and went with another woman-woman.
He told Ma-Ma to abandon me
and go with another man-man.
But Ma didn't leave-leave.
She didn't leave-leave.
Ma and I were
alone-alone at home...
and Pa's bad friend
came home-came home.
he did wrong-wrong with Ma.
He did wrong-wrong with Ma, Nithya.
I couldn't do anything, Nithya.
I couldn't do anything.
Ma cried-cried.
He hit-hit her on the head
and she was bleeding-bleeding.
Ma fainted-fainted and fell.
I couldn't save her, Nithya.
I couldn't save her.
I got seizures-seizures.
Just like I did now.
I couldn't save her.
You got seizures now?
Yes, now-now.
When you shouted-shouted,
I got seizures.
That day Ma cried-cried.
Screamed and cried-cried.
She hugged-hugged me and cried.
But Ma didn't die.
She didn't die-die.
Then Ma and I moved to
another house far away.
But Ma didn't leave me and die-die.
Who would care for me if Ma died-died?
So she didn't die.
I feel bad that I trouble-trouble Ma
and feel like dying.
But if I die,
who will be there for Ma?
So I didn't die-die.
Ma didn't die-die either.
You shouldn't die-die either.
Do you understand, Nithya?
Do you understand? Do you?
I understand, Balasubramani.
Even though I'm mad, I'm still alive...
why should you die?
Don't die.
Just shower and
the filth will wash away. Okay?
It will be fine once you shower.
Don't worry-worry.
Who is the bad boy-bad boy?
What's his name?
Who, Chandru?
Chandru! I will beat him up.
I will hit him a lot.
Bruce Lee has taught me Karate,
I will punch his nose.
You don't worry yourself, Nithya.
Okay?
Are you there, Nithya?
The call got cut.
What happened?
The call got cut...
Hello?
What happened, Nithya?
The call got disconnected.
Don't disconnect, talk to me.
There's no balance, Balasubramani.
It will end soon.
Don't let it end!
Don't let it end!
The phone hasn't
been recharged, Balasubramani.
What do I do? What do I do?
I am thinking...
You don't have to think, Balasubramani.
Just talk to me till it gets cut.
How do I save you without thinking?
I believe in God.
Let him do as he chooses.
Don't trust him.
He won't save-save you.
He won't save Ma, he won't save you.
He is busy with other work.
Nithya? Nithya-Nithya?
Hello-Hello, Nithya?
The call got cut.
I need money
for the phone...
To recharge the phone.
I need to recharge the phone.
What you looking at?
You are such a crook.
I have never met anyone like you.
Stop flashing that evil smile.
Mahesh, I think you're drunk.
Don't run your mouth, be quiet.
That's also his doing. He got us drunk
and calmly sips his beer.
What's your problem?
I'm not talking to you.
Remember what you told me?
You told me his lover cheated him
and went around with another man.
You said we just need to
threaten her a bit.
I did have my suspicion.
Is that what's happening here?
I didn't know this was
going to happen.
My point exactly.
Neither you, nor I knew.
But he did.
He knew everything,
start to finish.
This guy seated here like a statue,
did you know he was going to nab him?
You didn't.
Do you know what he's going to do to him?
You don't.
He said the girl loved him.
But she didn't.
Did he tell you that?
No.
Did he tell you he was
going to rape her? No.
He made us put on masks...
while he went around flashing his smile
and talking to them.
What's he going to do to them?
Let them go?
Or kill them right here?
Shut up, don't goad him.
Oh, like he's taking my advice.
Do you still not get him?
The guy was going to marry her.
He made the guy reject her.
He's a terrible person.
I'll never trust him again.
He will get me caught--
and walk away with that smile.
And you won't care, either.
It's my car we kidnapped her in.
I'll be in trouble.
Well, that's just your car, you jerk.
Think about where we're sitting now?
My home.
If this were to get out,
what would happen to my family?
He's your friend.
You go to prison for him.
Why should I?
Look, you and I aren't doing this
for nothing. It's for money.
Stop acting like a bloody saint.
Chandru, why are you keeping mum?
Just pay him off.
We'll figure my pay later.
No hard feelings between us.
Sekar, just pay me 75%
of what we agreed upon.
Why don't you want the balance?
Instead of the 25%,
I'll have a go at her.
It will be worth the trouble
if I get caught.
You think this is funny?
You're getting on my nerves!
-Why would you hit him?
Get lost!
Does he own her?
I am not a wimp.
Watch me now.
You won't sleep with me?
Don't I look like a man to you?
Come on, woman.
-What are you doing? Stop!
Why are you causing trouble?
-Let go!
It's your house.
You should have a go, too.
Let go! Let go of me!
Get out of here, man.
I'm so pissed,
I could crack his skull open.
You'll have to deal with it, Sekar.
I deserve this,
for trusting you.
BALU: I have to save her.
I have to save her.
Hello? Nithya?
Did you get the money?
Did you recharge this number?
-Yes.
I thought hard, then threw the paper
with number out of the window.
I called Ma, she must have been busy.
She didn't answer.
Ma will call me back.
I will promise her,
she will believe me.
Your mother must be busy.
Don't disturb her.
Yes... but how do I
save you then?
My mother will look for me
if I'm missing.
Won't your father come
looking-looking for you?
He won't.
Why not?
He's abroad.
What's that broad-broad?
He is in America, Balasubramani.
Where is it?
Is it very far-far?
Yes, it's very far.
What does he do there?
He makes money.
Why does he make money there
when you're here?
I don't get it, and my father
doesn't get it the way you do.
Nobody can understand
another person's plight.
Everyone pretends to be good until
the circumstances arise.
I don't understand-understand, Nithya.
You need not understand, Balasubramani.
You're better off this way.
There's a lot of filth
inside every one of us.
Just take a shower,
and the filth will wash away.
I will try, Balsubramani.
-Try-try. Shower, and it will be gone.
I will beat up Chandru-Chandru.
How do you know-know him?
He's my Facebook friend.
What book is that?
Is it a bigger book
than Thirukkural?
I don't know.
I have 4000 friends there.
Good friends-good friends?
Will they help-help you?
No, they won't.
Then it's just a waste-waste?
Yes, no one helps at a time of danger.
Don't worry. I will help-help.
I will save you. Save-save you.
I am thinking.
Balasubramani, do you get seizures often?
When I get stressed...
It's very dangerous.
Does Ma know?
-Ma doesn't know-know. Poor Ma.
She'll feel bad.
So I didn't tell her.
You don't tell-tell her.
Poor Ma, don't tell her.
Fine, I won't tell her.
I have to save-save you.
I am thinking-thinking...
I am thinking-thinking...
my head hurts!
My head hurts.
My ears are ringing.
Balasubramani, what's for lunch today?
What's for lunch?
Spinach-spinach and 'appalam'.
Have you eaten yet?
I have to save-save you first.
How do I save you?
It's okay, Balasubramani.
-How do I save you?
Can you do me a favour?
I will. Tell-tell me.
Do you know any jokes?
But I have to save-save you.
How could I joke?
Do you know any jokes or not?
Funny jokes, right?
I do know-know.
Tell me one.
-Will you laugh-laugh?
I will laugh.
Why do "dosas" have holes?
I do know.
Don't say that! Or it won't be
funny-funny.
Fine, I don't know.
You tell me.
Because we cook it on fire.
Did you laugh-laugh?
I did laugh, Balasubramani.
I'll tell you another-another?
Sekar, why are you sobbing like a kid?
Get lost! You've showed your
true colours as a rich brat.
Serves me right for trusting you.
He trusted me and came to help,
but you smashed his skull!
How would I answer his wife?
Why would you answer to his wife?
This is all her fault!
She is going to pay for it.
This is all your fault.
What have you done to him,
that he's acting this way?
I don't think you'll
get out of here alive.
You're going to end up dead.
Nithya? Nithya? Nithya?
Yeah, Balasubramani?
-Nithya, who was that?
The guy who spoke now?
Yes, yes.
I don't know. I saw the faces
of the other two.
He had a mask on,
so I couldn't see.
But I know him-know him.
What do you mean?
You mean the guy who just spoke?
Yes, I know-know him.
He's Chandrasekar.
He works at the phone repair place
near the Ganesha Temple.
He is bad. Bad-bad. Very bad.
-Balasubrami, one moment.
Do you know his place?
I know-I know. It's on the left side
to my house.
Balasubramani, I am at his place now.
Why did you go there?
You should have come to my house!
I told you I've been locked up here.
Oh, yes. You've been locked-up.
How to save you?
Hey, Chandrasekar...
How do you know my name?
Tell him I said I'll hit him.
How did you get this phone?
Who's on the line?
My friend, Balasubramani.
I am Nithya's friend-friend.
Hello?
-Chandrasekar, you're caught-caught!
You're the one who's
locked up Nithya?
How are you on this call, idiot?
I am not an idiot.
You're the idiot!
I'll kill you!
Come at me! I will kill you too.
I'm coming there.
-Come on, we'll see.
Chandrasekar, it's all over.
The police are on the way.
What?
What's that phone?
-It's all over, the police are on the way.
What are you blabbering?
Keep an eye on her,
I'll be right back.
Chandrasekar, you asshole.
Where are you going? Stay here.
How do you know his name?
Hello?
-Hello?
Is there a problem?
Do you need any help?
No, why do you ask?
I found a piece of paper on the road
with this number, and ten rupees.
I was wondering if there's trouble.
Is there a problem?
-No such thing.
I'll handle it.
Thank you.
BALU: He will hit me...
Hey, macho guy.
I'm at your place. Come on out.
We should have chased you
and your mother a long time back.
Shouldn't have spared you.
BALU: Don't talk about my Ma...
-There you are!
Where are you hiding?
Come on out!
Come out!
You're done for!
Didn't you challenge me to come?
Help me! Help me!
You're going to die today.
Don't hit me in the ass!
-No one's going to save you.
Bruce Lee is outside,
he'll come save me!
He's an idiot, and so are you.
He'll come to save you, eh?
I'm not an idiot!
You dare to hit me?
-I'll kill you.
Come, kill me.
Where are you running?
Stop!
I'm here, idiot.
-Are you playing hide-and-seek?
Come out now.
Come on out.
Come closer.
-You come closer.
Here I am.
What was that?
It's burning.
Take that!
I'm getting electric shocks.
You're so dead, man.
Did you hit me
in the eyes with chilli powder?
You spoke about my mother!
How do you know the girl?
I need to save Nithya!
Where did you go?
Ma is calling.
I'll tell on you?
Give me the phone.
Ma, Chandrasekar broke in.
He broke-broke the new lock.
I hit him.
You don't worry.
He's the one holding Nithya.
I'm going to save Nithya.
Hurry up, Ma.
Get off me.
Where are you going?
Bruce Lee! Bruce Lee! Bruce Lee!
Why are you outside, friend?
Hurry up, and come here.
We need to save her!
Save who?
We need to save Nithya.
Who's Nithya, friend?
You don't know Nithya?
Nithya from Infosys.
Who's Nithya? What Infosys?
Stop talking, hurry up.
There's a big problem.
Who's causing a problem here
in my hood?
Chandrasekar hit me in the ass.
I hit him back with the electric bat.
I told Ma.
Chandru is a bad boy.
He needs to be punched in the nose.
We need to save Nithya.
So we need to save Nithya now?
Let's go kick some ass.
Friend, who are they?
I don't know-know.
What are you doing?
Why is a girl lying on the floor?
Who are you people?
Who are you?
Balasubramani!
Nithya... Nithya...
Balasubramani!
-Nithya, I am here.
He dares to shove you, friend?
Who the hell are you both?
I am Nithya's friend, Balasubramani.
Nithya, is he Chandru?
Is he Chandru?
Yes, he is Chandru.
Get up, Nithya!
Couldn't you find another place to die?
"Couldn't find another place to die?"
Punch his nose.
Just watch me.
Punch his nose.
He's going to hit you!
Hit him.
See? Bruce Lee knows Karate!
He's going to hit you now.
He hit the great Bruce Lee!
You hit the great Bruce Lee?
Let go of my ear.
It hurts.
Don't hurt Balasubramani!
BRUCE LEE: You are done for!
What's in your hand?
I won't tell you, rascal.
Friend, if you swear,
I will tell Ma.
Don't tell Ma!
Take it back then.
Fine, I'll take it back.
I take it back, rascal.
I won't say "rascal", rascal.
You could have just not
taken it back.
What are you on about?
I'll hit you!
He's unleashed the chilli powder!
Nithya, hold him.
Hit him, Bruce Lee.
-Bring him over here.
Stop talking, hit him!
Come here.
Did you see that?
That was the Karate kick!
Tie him up.
Tie him up.
Tie his legs.
Wait outside, Balasubramani.
I have unfinished business.
I'll wait right there,
call me if you need me.
Nithya-Nithya...
Nithya-Nithya, just one moment.
Yes, go for it.
Bam!
-You smashed his nose!
This one's for Nithya.
This one's for Ma.
Bad boy...
I need to hit him.
That's the last time
you'll ever smile in your life.
Bruce Lee?
Come, Ma.
Friend, Ma is here.
Ma, you're here finally.
Are you okay?
I am okay, Ma.
I am okay, Ma.
Chandrasekar had locked her up.
Bruce Lee and I thrashed them.
Fine, let's go.
-We saved Nithya-Nithya!
Don't worry.
Nithya, look that's Ma!
Ma, this is Nithya.
Nithya and Ma are hugging.
What happened, dear?
It's alright.
SI: Is this the house?
CONSTABLE: -Yes, sir.
SI: What happened to them?
CONSTABLE: I don't know, sir.
CONSTABLE: The lady is there.
-BALU: Police, hurry up.
SI: Two of you, go in and check.
BRUCE LEE: In there, sir.
HEAD CONSTABLE: Sir, come here
and have a look at this!
Ma...
Ma...
Hmm?
I am--I am awake, Ma.
Should I--Should I wake up?
No. You go to sleep.
Let me--Let me come with you
to the market, Ma.
No, close your eyes
and go back to sleep.
You said you'd take me
last night.
But now, you are saying no--no.
I didn't mean morning.
I meant evening.
By evening,
you mean after work--after work?
Yes.
Okay--okay, then.
I am going to--going to
close my eyes and sleep.
Sekar, here she comes.
Bro, should I wear the mask too?
That's the point of it.
Mahesh, start the car.
[girl screaming]
Keep your eyes
on the bloody road!
Oh, no.
She fell down.
Nobody get down from the car.
She will approach us.
Are you stupid or what?
The roads are so empty. Why would
you come and ram into my scooter?
Are you driving in your sleep or what?
Lower your windows.
Who are you people?
Get her!
Get her, man.
-Somebody, help me!
Who the hell are you? What do you want?
Let me go.
Let go of me, man.
-Shut her mouth.
What happened?
-She bit my hand.
Somebody help me.
-Where's the kerchief?
It's in the car.
Why did you leave it there?
Lift her up.
[muffled cries]
[muffled cries]
Hold her down, man.
She's reaching for her phone!
Reaching for your phone, are you?
Sekar, go in the front.
I'll follow you
in her scooter.
Ma--Ma?
-Yes, it's me.
I got up soon after you left.
I couldn't sleep.
Now that you're up,
why didn't you go to the toilet?
I wanted to poop, but you told me to
close my eyes and stay in bed. So I did.
Fine. Go now.
Shall I fold the bedsheet?
No, let it be.
Let it be...
I'll fold it later.
What will you drink, Balu?
Horlicks or Boost?
I want--I want Boost.
Even Dhoni drinks it.
Mom, it's itchy!
Where is it itchy?
On my wee-wee!
A lot, or just a bit?
A lot! Like I desperately
need to scratch, Ma!
SEKAR: Bring that.
Okay, then. You can scratch.
But you hit me the other day
for scratching it.
I hit you the other day
because you scratched for too long.
Just scratch and take your hand off,
then I wouldn't hit you.
I didn't do it deliberately.
I felt like doing it.
If you scratch too much,
you will get bruises and bleed.
You will be in pain.
Isn't that what we have medicines for?
Are you itchy now, or not?
If I keep talking,
the itchiness goes away.
Okay, then.
Come drink your boost.
Here.
Ma, look...
I've got a moustache!
Look at Ma's moustache.
It's huge!
You've got a huge moustache.
Come on, Ma...
spinach again?
Yes, we're having spinach for lunch.
I'll make it nice and mushy
with a lot of lentils, okay?
Not spinach again!
I'm going to fry
your favourite 'appalams' with it.
I want lots and lots of 'appalam', Ma.
Okay.
What about breakfast food?
Vermicelli 'kichdi'.
You mean tiny noodles?
Yes, tiny noodles.
Then I'll use a fork.
Fine.
Here you go.
Why is she still unconscious?
You went heavy with the chloroform.
How was I to know?
I've never kidnapped before.
It's not like I kidnap girls
every other day.
What do we do?
It's fine, come on.
Shall I chop this, Ma?
No, no, no...
let it be.
The spinach.
-No, put that down.
I'm getting a call...
Answer it.
It's Dad.
Don't panic. Talk to him.
-MA: Go out and play.
Hello?
Sekar, are you up?
I just woke up, Dad.
Your mother wants to talk to you.
Yes, Ma?
Son, it slipped my mind.
There's 4,500 rupees in the cupboard.
Go and give it to Mangalam.
I was supposed to,
but forgot all about it.
She's called me ten times
since yesterday.
Go and give it to her.
I won't do it.
You always refuse to give me money!
But now you've got money
to invest in chit funds and go on tours?
Useless son of mine.
Won't you make yourself useful?
You're idling at home.
Why can't you go give it?
Fine, you wait there.
I'll ask Mangalam to come pick it up.
No, I'll go give it to her.
How come?
You just refused to go.
Will you really do it?
-Not if you use that tone.
Fine, do it immediately.
-I said I'd do it. Hang up now.
Come on, man.
Hold on, man.
Or my mother will get suspicious.
Fine, let it go.
Mahesh Brother. Come here.
Here's what you do.
The girl's scooter is parked downstairs.
Remember the Periyar statue
on our way here?
There's a parking spot near it.
Go park it there.
Buy yourself some food
at the adjacent tiffin stall.
I don't want anything.
Buy a pomegranate juice.
Without ice.
Take an auto back.
Get off the auto in the main road
and walk back.
Don't ride all the way here.
How about some food
for her?
We're not here on a picnic.
Just help yourself.
Let's go, Sekar.
Why do you need him?
You're just going to buy food.
You can go alone.
Let him shower and freshen up.
What will you eat?
My tummy feels weird.
Buy me 'appam' and milk.
Brother, one moment.
Sekar, get the suitcase.
Why do you need it now?
Just get it.
Brother...
We won't need it here anymore.
Leave it in the car.
Yes, Mahesh.
Just take this away.
Be careful on your way downstairs.
-I will. Mind your business.
What do we do now?
What is it, man?
Can your friend be trusted?
Of course. Why would you ask such a thing?
You go and shower now.
Ma, Ma...
Ma, I scored!
Ma, I'll go shower now.
Ma, I showered.
Will you shower?
Dry your hair and put on clothes.
-It's dry.
I am so beautiful!
What's he doing?
Just be quiet.
MA: Balu...
Why is he being so weird?
He's suspicious of you,
and now you're suspicious of him?
Both of you only need to trust me.
Don't worry, and just eat.
Have you eaten?
-Yes.
There's work to be done.
Sekar, the two of us will
go out for a bit and be right back.
Where are you going?
I'll tell you when I return.
What would I do if
the girl wakes up?
Not a problem. I locked the door,
and I have the key.
But I'm right here.
Why would you lock it?
Stop asking so many questions, Sekar.
Brother, let's go.
Tiny noodles!
Okay, Ma is off to work now.
You should eat on time.
Okay?
I will call to check on you.
Be a good boy and
take care of the house, okay?
Good boy!
Oh, no!
Why is he calling now?
Boss? -You fool! You locked the shop
and took the key with you?
How do I open the shop?
I can't keep the shop shut
because you took a day off.
Should I come to
Your Majesty's place to collect it?
I'll bring it in ten minutes, boss.
-Hurry up.
Hey!
Open the door.
Why have you locked me in?
Hey!
[groans]
[screaming]
[Doraemon playing on TV]
Why isn't this working?
Damn!
Why isn't number 1 working?
Another emergency number?
Women helpline.
[groans in anger]
Every emergency number has '1'.
I'll call Vetri, then.
-BALU: You are trapped!
BALU: Let's see how you escape!
'9' doesn't work either?
What's Swetha's number?
87618761...
[groans]
Her number has a '1' too.
[on TV]: I told you,
there are no ghosts here.
I'll call JustDial Directory.
'8' doesn't work too?
[on TV]: Are you trying
to fool us?
[on TV]: You are responsible
for the plight of our school.
[on TV]: This building is going to
collapse in a couple of years anyway.
[on TV]: We are just painting over it.
[on TV]: The truth is, we are beautifying
your school. We deserve credit for that.
[on TV]: What are you going to do?
-Punish you for fooling us.
[on TV]: We are going to
burn this school down.
Don't do it...
bad boy--bad boy.
[on TV]: Son, can you step out?
Your charade is over.
[on TV]: I'm warning you
to come out.
[on TV]: No matter what happens,
none of us should get scared.
[on TV]: Come out!
[on TV]: This must be their doing.
[on TV]: I'm sure this is Doraemon's
doing. Don't let this scare you.
[on TV]: Doraemon, you are truly talented.
I got scared-scared!
It was just the
phone ringing--phone ringing.
Hello, Ma?
Is anybody there?
Can you hear me?
Hello? What happened?
-A ghost-ghost! On the phone...
I don't even know the number.
I will re-dial.
Which one is re-dial?
Okay.
It's ringing.
Please answer!
Dammit, he's not answering!
Pick up, pick up...
This isn't Ma's number.
Come on!
Hello--hello, who is this-this?
-Thank God. Please don't hang up.
Three men have kidnapped me
and locked me up in a room.
I don't know where I am,
or who my abductors are.
They took my phone. I can't call
any other number from this phone.
Thank god, I was able to
reach your number.
I work at Infosys. They kidnapped me
on my way back from night shift.
Please save me somehow, sir.
Hello-hello. Whom do you want to speak to?
Sir, I told you.
I have been locked up.
Not sir. Not sir.
You can call me Balasubramani.
Balasubramani sir, I've been
locked up in a room.
Save me somehow, sir.
-You locked yourself up in a room?
But why?
Just let yourself out.
What? No, I've been kidnapped
and locked up, sir.
They locked you up? Why?
What did you do wrong?
What are you saying?
Balasubramani... please pass
the phone to a grown up around you.
I am a grown up-grown up.
Talk to me. Talk to me.
I just told you. I have been locked up.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Of course. Yes-yes. Why wouldn't
I understand? I am not a child.
Why do you keep repeating yourself?
No, no. I am not.
I only say it once-once.
Fine, let that go.
Hey, I am being serious here
and you are laughing?
Doraemon just escaped.
I said I've been kidnapped.
You're watching a cartoon
and giggling like an idiot!
Who's an idiot-idiot?
You are. You are.
Hang up.
-Please don't hang up.
Balasubramani, please don't hang up.
Oh, dammit. He hung up.
Who's this idiot?
What do I do?
I'm unable to call any other number.
Will he even answer?
What's he doing!
Why won't he answer?
Answer, damn it!
Hello? Are you there?
Balasubramani, can you hear me?
Balasubramani, please say something.
I am angry with you.
-I am sorry, Balasubramani.
I was wrong.
I am sorry.
What did you call me?
You can't say that to anyone.
I was wrong. Forgive me.
I won't say that to anyone again.
Say sorry-sorry,
or I won't talk.
But I just said sorry.
Not on your own.
Say it only when I ask you.
Say it now.
-Balasubramani, thousand times sorry.
I will never say that to anyone.
Sorry. Please forgive me.
Fine-fine, I forgive you.
Where was I?
Three people caught you--
-Yes, Balasubramani.
I am being held in a room.
You must save me somehow.
What wrong did you do?
-I did nothing wrong.
They only lock you up
when you do something wrong.
No, Balasubramani.
They do it even otherwise.
No. They only lock you up
when you do something wrong.
They locked me up
because I did something wrong.
You've been locked up?
Don't lie, Balasubramani.
I'm not lying. Not lying.
I have lied before many times.
But then I stopped.
Mother promise.
I'm not lying.
Who has locked you up?
My mother locks me up.
Is your mother home?
Pass the phone to her.
Ma has gone to work.
To the office.
You know the big road-big road?
She's on the third floor in the building.
She will return at 5
in the evening.
We'll go shopping
when she's back--
I am in danger, Balasubramani.
I need somebody's help.
You need help-help?
Yes, I need help.
I will help.
How can I help?
I have to get out of here, somehow.
Won't the poor people
look for you? -No!
Who has locked you up?
-Ma locks me up.
But it's not Ma who's locked me up.
I know. You said three men did.
-Yes, they are bad.
Bad boy? Bad boy?
Yes, bad boys.
Bad or very bad?
Very, very bad.
-Then run off to your home.
How could I?
I have been locked in.
Where?
-I don't know where.
They didn't tell you?
Why would he do that, Balasubramani?
You should have asked-asked.
They wouldn't tell me
even if I asked.
They would if I asked.
Pass the phone to them,
I'll ask them.
I told you they were bad boys.
Oh, right.
Bad boys won't tell you.
Don't ask them.
Wait, I will come.
Balasubramani? What are you doing?
Let me think-think!
No need.
Just listen to me.
I am listening. Tell-tell.
Do you know how to make con-calls?
I know pop corn.
But what's a con-call?
You do know how to make
a conference call?
How do I do that?
Ma never taught me-taught me.
Fine, is yours
an Android phone?
I don't know if
it's called that.
Fine, just do as I tell you.
There's an 'add call' option
on the left side of your phone display.
Dial the number I tell you to,
and we'll be connected via con-call.
Then you can just--
Hello?
Hello? Hello?
Balasubramani? Are you there?
Did it get cut?
Why did he hang up?
But it's not working!
Con-call...
[phone ringing]
Hello-hello?
-What happened, Balasubramani?
How-how do I make that call?
It's not going though. -It's not?
What phone do you have?
The phone-phone I use
to talk to Ma.
A land line phone?
Stupid me...
Balasubramani, is yours a landline phone?
Yes-yes. You could say that.
Balasubramani,
do you have a paper and pen?
White paper?
Any damn paper.
I have white paper, but not ink pen.
Is lead pen okay?
Anything is fine, Balasubramani.
Just take the pen out.
Hold on, I'll come.
Don't hang up-hang up.
Please hurry up.
Wait right there.
I will come.
God, what's taking you so long?
Hello?
Are you there, Balasubramani?
Hello?
Hello? What's taking you so long?
I'm drawing margins.
God, you don't need to draw margins.
Just write down what I tell you.
No margins?
Let me erase-erase it then.
You can erase it later, Balasubramani.
Just write down what I tell you.
Tell me-tell me, what to write?
Do you know 1,2,3?
I know. Till 100.
Should I count to 100?
Some other time.
Just write the number
I tell you now.
But you haven't told me what number.
Write 96.
96-96?
-Yes, 96.
Next, write four four.
Double four? Double four?
-Yes, 44.
Again 44.
As in?
Oh, God. Write another 44.
How many fours?
Is it four fours in total?
Yes, Balasubramani. 4444.
Well then, say it like that.
I can't erase lead pen, can I?
Sorry. Shall I tell you
the next number?
Tell-tell me.
Next, write sixteen.
-1-6?
Yes. 1-6.
Next, write 75.
Seventy five-seventy five?
Yes, Balasubramani.
It is seventy five.
Yes, it is seventy five.
Now you're the one
repeating yourself.
You're right, Balasubramani.
I am wrong. I will work on it.
It's okay-okay. Not wrong.
Tell me the next number.
What?
The next number?
You've got ten numbers, right?
I've got ten numbers.
Read it out for me.
96-4444-16-75
Hang on.
Have you got it right?
It's right, Balasubramani.
What now? What now?
It's my friend's number.
Call him and--
Is he a good friend
or a bad friend?
He is good.
Tell him that three men--
-What's his name?
His name is Vetri. Tell him that
three men have kidnapped Nithya.
Who's Nithya?
-Oh, God. My name is Nithya.
Nice name-nice name.
My name is Balasubramani.
-I know, you already told me.
Did I tell you--?
-Please don't interrupt me.
Hello? Are you on the line?
Hello? Hello? Balasubramani?
Are you online?
But you said not to interrupt!
Sorry, Balasubramani.
Call up that number,
and Vetri will answer.
Tell him Nithya has been kidnapped,
and he will do what it takes to save me.
Will you please do this for me?
Please, Balasubramani?
Will you?
Will you call Vetri?
Hello?
Hello, Balasubramani?
Hello? Are you online?
You can speak now!
But I can't make calls-calls.
You can't make calls?
No. I can't make calls-calls.
You don't have
outgoing facility?
Yeah. It won't go through.
-Please stop playing around.
I'm not playing-playing.
I play on Sundays.
Bruce Lee and I play cricket.
Balasubramani...
Please listen to me.
You cannot make calls?
Yeah, I can't-can't.
Why didn't you
just say so earlier?
But you never asked-asked.
Come on! What would you
do in an emergency?
What kind of a mother
would lock her son up...
...and leave him with a phone
that can't make calls?
Is your mother a woman or a demon?
Don't talk about Ma.
Don't talk about Ma.
Why do you talk about Ma?
I will hang up-hang up.
Please don't hang up, Balasubramani.
Don't hang up.
-Why do you talk about Ma?
Please forgive me, Balasubramani.
I shouldn't have said that.
But please don't hang up.
I am begging you.
I'm sorry, I was wrong.
I will not say that about anyone again.
Don't say that about Ma.
-I won't say that about anyone.
Let it go. Forgive me.
-Don't say that about Ma.
Balasubramani...
Tell me, Nithya.
Your mother has locked you up...
Yes, she has.
Who would you call
if there's an emergency?
I would call Ma.
How would you call her?
I would call from my phone.
But your phone
doesn't have outgoing.
How can you call her?
I can call Ma's number.
You can call your Ma?
Yes, I can call Ma.
Why didn't you say so?
You never asked-asked.
My bad, you're right.
You make many-many mistakes.
How many more will you make?
I don't know, Balasubramani.
Does your phone display ten numbers?
Yes, it does.
Tell me the number.
90-87-22-25 again 25.
Okay, fine.
Superb. Call up your mother.
Tell her that Nithya,
from Infosys-okay forget that -
Just tell her a girl called Nithya
has been kidnapped and locked up.
Tell her that the girl asked to be saved,
and tell your mother to call me.
The number you just told me?
Your mother can call me on that number.
Then I will talk to your mother.
Will you do this for me?
But my mother won't believe it.
She will believe you.
Please tell her this.
Can't you see I'm in danger.
Do this for me.
I will talk-talk for your sake.
For your sake-sake.
Thanks, Balasubramani.
No mention-no mention.
Shall I hang up?
Hang up-hang up.
How else will I call Ma?
Hello-hello Ma...
Tell me, Balu.
Ma, a poor girl... Infosys...
Nithya... Poor girl...
They locked-locked her up.
She needs to be saved-saved.
Balu. Ma's busy.
I know-I know, Ma.
I won't disturb you at work.
But Nithya is in trouble-trouble.
Bad boy... they've locked her up.
She needs to be saved-saved.
I'll tell you her number? Her number?
Will you call her? -Balu...
You swore on Ma
that you won't lie, didn't you?
I'm not lying-lying, Ma.
I did promise.
Poor Nithya needs to be saved-saved.
I know-know I promised.
I won't lie-lie.
Call Nithya. Call Nithya. Call Nithya.
-Balu! Balu!
Ma will come home early
and take you to the beach.
Beach? But you said you'd take me
to the shop.
We'll go to the beach
then go shopping.
Okay?
-Okay-okay Ma.
Ma, I want two horse rides
at the beach.
Okay.
Okay, Ma.
Did you feed the babies?
I did-I did.
I fed them.
Dora bit-bit Ninja.
You should tell him not to.
He won't listen to me.
Fine, I will once I get home.
Did you take your medicines?
No, Ma.
I will stay on the line.
Go get the tablets.
Okay, wait.
I'm getting it.
Which one are you getting?
One of the blue ones,
and a white one. -Correct.
Take it.
Did you swallow?
I swallowed-swallowed.
Good boy.
Okay, I'll call after lunch.
Okay, Ma.
-Sleep for a bit.
I'm hanging up.
Ma, Ma... but you need to
save-save Nithya.
Call her-call her-call her.
Call 90-87-22-25-25, Ma.
Ma-Ma. Hello?
Ma?
She hung up.
I promised-promised
that I won't lie.
I didn't lie. I didn't lie.
I didn't lie.
I didn't lie, Ma.
[inaudible muttering]
Is it Balasubramani's mother?
I am Nithya, Ma. I've been
kidnapped and held in a room.
I asked Balasubramani to call you, Ma.
Save me somehow, Ma.
Hello?
Hello? Ma?
Can you hear me?
Hello? Ma?
Are you online?
Hello? Ma?
[speaking Hindi]
Rohith, you finally answered?
Why was your phone switched off?
Where were you gone?
Sir, I can't understand you.
Sir, I am in danger.
I have been kidnapped and held.
Please save me somehow, sir.
Brother, please hear me out.
Please wait.
Please hear me out. Please.
When will you pay me back?
-I am in serious danger.
You owe me money, you mongrel.
-I have been locked up somewhere.
Save me somehow.
Are you listening?
I don't understand a word you're saying.
I don't speak Hindi.
Do you speak English?
Please try to understand, sir.
I am stuck in a situation.
Some people have kidnapped me, sir.
I really need help.
Sir, please try to understand!
Please listen to me, sir.
Bloody asshole, hear me out!
Hello? Hello?
He hung up!
What's with everyone?
Will he even answer?
Hello? Hello?
I didn't lie. I didn't lie to Ma.
Listen, Balasubramani.
I know you didn't lie.
You know-know?
That I won't lie to Ma?
But Ma didn't believe.
Please be patient, Balasubramani.
What did Ma say?
She said she'd come home early.
She said she'd take me to the beach.
She said I lied...
She said she'd take me
two rounds horse riding.
Horse riding. Then shopping.
Fine, go horse riding.
Did you tell Ma about me?
I told-told.
But Ma didn't believe-believe.
What do I do?
I believe you, Balasubramani.
-You believe-believe me?
But I am unable to help-help you.
I am unable to help-help.
Please calm down.
Only you can help me now.
But Ma didn't believe-believe.
How can I help?
Even if your mother doesn't believe, or
if you can't make outgoing phone calls...
you can call some
emergency numbers.
For example,
if you call 100 from your phone--
No, I shouldn't-shouldn't.
Shouldn't call 100.
Please do. It won't be a problem.
-You don't know.
The police will come.
Let the police come.
I will talk to them. They won't hurt you!
There was a huge problem, you know?
You don't know--
-Please just call them, Balasubramani.
What happened to you
that caused such a huge problem?
Shall I tell you-tell you?
You know what happened that day?
This is the Control Room. Tell me.
This is Balasubramani.
There is a power cut at home.
Turn it back on.
I need to watch Doremon-Doremon.
Pass the phone to a grown-up.
I am a grown-up too.
Turn the power on.
This is not the electricity board. It's
the police Law and Order Control Room.
You must only call here in case
of emergency like fights or robbery.
Call up the EB office for powercuts.
Hang up now.
But this is an emergency. Turn the
power on. I need to watch Doremon.
What's more important-important
work than that?
Hang up before I lose my cool.
He hung up-hung up!
I want to watch Doraemon.
You won't do your job?
Emergency, huh?
I'm coming for you.
Hello. City Control Room.
Tell me.
There's a thief-thief.
He's going to murder me!
Hurry-hurry.
-Don't panic, tell me your address.
My address is...
Catch him-catch him.
Thief-thief.
CONSTABLE: Where is the thief?
He got away-got away.
CONSTABLE: How did he get away?
He got away through the grill.
CONSTABLE: How did he get in?
He came in through the window-window.
Here's the rope-rope.
He came to kill me
with a knife-knife.
SI: He is having fun
at our expense!
SI: Stop blabbering like an idiot.
Who's an idiot?
You're an idiot.
CONSTABLE: What did you say
to the officer?
SI: Wait, how did you
lock yourself in?
NEIGHBOUR: Hello, sir.
Why is that guy here?
Tell me to leave-leave.
SI: Who are you?
-Sir, I am their neighbour.
SI: What is it?
NEIGHBOUR: Sir, the boy is
mentally not okay.
Who's mental? You're mental.
SI: What are you saying?
NEIGHBOUR: Yes, sir.
His mother locks him up and goes to work.
NEIGHBOUR: He won't stay put,
keeps getting into trouble.
SI: You can't do such things.
This is a major offence.
SI: Give me his mother's number.
-NEIGHBOUR: Sir, I don't have it.
SI: How could you not have
your neighbour's number?
NEIGHBOUR: We had a minor disagreement,
and aren't talking.
NEIGHBOUR: Ask him for her number.
SI: Do you know
your mother's number?
I know-know.
-SI: Tell me.
I shouldn't-shouldn't tell strangers.
I shouldn't tell strangers.
-SI: We're the police. You can tell us.
Good police or bad police?
-SI: We're good police. What's the number?
Tell that man to shut his ears.
Or I won't tell you.
CONSTABLE: Don't disrespect elders!
-SI: Oh, shut up.
NEIGHBOUR: That's how he talks.
NEIGHBOUR: I'll shut my ears.
SI: Fine, tell us the number.
98-84
20-69 and sixty five.
SI: What's he saying?
CONSTABLE: Sir,
that's the number written here.
SI: Call up the number
and tell his mother to come.
No! Why-why are you calling Ma?
-CONSTABLE: Calm down!
The power is back. Get-get out.
Get out of my house.
Get out!
-SI: Sit down.
SI: You thought we were jobless?
Have you called his mother?
CONSTABLE: Sir, it's ringing.
SI: Is this his first time or has he
done such stupid things before?
NEIGHBOUR: Few days back, he called the
fire service claiming there was a fire.
Seeing smoke from inside, they broke in
and found him burning newspapers.
SI: Did his mother answer?
CONSTABLE: The line got disconnected.
-SI: Call again, then.
CONSTABLE: I am trying, sir.
-Don't call Ma!
NEIGHBOUR: Sir...
SI: What?
NEIGHBOUR: Once, one of his fish died.
It's not fish.
It was called Bheem.
NEIGHBOUR: Once, he called the ambulance
when a fish died.
SI: So this is a habit for him?
Did the call get through?
CONSTABLE: Hello?
Sir, his mother is on the line.
I told you not to call Ma!
-SI: Hello?
Ma-Ma...
Did you hear what they said?
They said they'd lock me in prison
for locking you up and abusing you.
You refuse to stay with anybody.
If I leave the door unlocked,
you wander away.
And now you've started lying.
What am I supposed to do if you keep
calling people and getting in trouble?
I won't-won't, Ma...
-Maybe they were right...
I should go to prison
and you can be happy.
Ma, I won't lie-lie.
Please don't cry.
I won't make calls.
Please don't cry. I won't make calls, Ma.
-Go away!
Leave me alone.
Ma, I won't lie-lie.
I won't lie-lie anymore.
Don't feel bad-feel bad, Ma.
I promise on you, Ma.
-Let go!
I promise, I won't do it, Ma.
I won't lie-lie, Ma.
I won't lie-lie.
I won't make calls, Ma.
Please don't feel bad, Ma.
Balu was wrong. Balu was wrong.
Balu was wrong-wrong-wrong.
Wrong-wrong-wrong-wrong.
-Stop! Don't do that.
Don't feel bad, Ma.
I won't lie-lie Ma.
What could you have done,
when I lock you up?
I won't make calls, Ma.
I promise.
Nithya, are you there?
I'm here, I'm listening.
I promised Ma I won't make calls.
So I can't-can't make calls.
I understand, Balasubramani.
But I am in danger.
Shouldn't you save me?
But I swore on Ma.
If I make a call, Ma will die-die.
She will be fine, Balasubramani.
I swear on my Ma,
nothing will happen to your Ma.
Where-where is your Ma?
My Ma died when I was a child.
-See-see!
Ma will die if I
make a false promise.
No, Balasubramani.
That's not why my mother died.
If I lie, I will die.
No-no. Don't-don't do that.
You're a good-good girl.
So don't do that.
Take it back-back.
Wait, I'll be back-back.
Balasubramani? Where are you going?
Balasubramani, what are you doing?
Hello? Tell me what's wrong?
What are you doing?
-I took the mother promise upon myself.
Ma won't die-die.
You won't die-die either.
Only I will die, if anything.
Don't worry-worry.
I will make a call-call.
Okay?
I will make the call.
You hang up-hang up.
Okay, I'm hanging up.
Hello, this is the Control Room.
How can I help?
Hello,
this is Balasubramani-Balasubramani.
Are you well-well?
I am well, son.
Who are you? What do you want?
You know Nithya from Infosys-Infosys?
Need to save her.
They've got her.
Hurry up and save her.
Poor-poor Nithya.
They've locked her up-up.
You need to save her.
Are you Balasubramani?
Yes, I am Balasubramani-Balasubramani.
You have nothing better to do?
-Hurry up-hurry up.
You won't come?
Poor Nithya.
Poor Nithya. Need to save her.
Listen, Balasubramani...
You'd better hang up now.
Or I'll lock you and your mother up
in a prison.
Why would you lock up Ma
in a prison?
No-no. You go to prison-prison.
Don't lock up Ma...
-Hang up now, you idiot.
Hello-hello?
He hung up.
Poor Ma-Poor ma.
Need to save Nithya.
Need to save Nithya.
I don't want Ma
to go to prison.
Nithya needs help.
Nithya needs help.
Why isn't he answering?
Answer the phone!
How could you loaf around
in the middle of this?
I just left five minutes back,
to give the money like my mother said.
Don't give me excuses
like a child. -Sorry, buddy.
What's that stain on your shirt?
-It's nothing.
Hey, why have you brought this back?
What is it?
-Open it and see for yourself.
Who is that?
-How would I know?
Where did you go?
-We went to a coffee shop.
We ordered coffee from the parking spot.
The coffee came.
We were drinking coffee.
He was texting someone
from her phone.
Suddenly, someone got into the car
and asked for Nithya.
He said, "Come I'll take you to her."
and smothered his face with the kerchief.
Who is this?
Someone we need.
What is your plan?
What are you doing?
Why have you brought him here?
Don't ask so many questions, Sekar.
There's booze in that bag.
Get started, I'll be right back.
Who is this for?
When we went to buy clothes,
he asked me to buy a shirt.
I got one for you too.
Are we on some shopping spree?
Why are you asking me?
Go ask your friend.
You got me into this mess!
Who are you?
Why have you kidnapped me?
What do you want?
The one thing I hate the most
is being questioned.
Why are you holding that?
You won't need it.
-I need to get out of here.
Let me go.
-Think we brought you just to let you go?
I brought you a gift.
Take a look.
You'll like it.
Vetri!
What's wrong?
How did you end up here?
Vetri, wake up.
What happened?
What's happened to you? Wake up.
-Don't be afraid.
He's not dead yet.
-Wake up, Vetri.
Don't know if he will need to die.
-Why have you taken the both of us?
What do you want?
Who the hell are you?
Always in such a hurry.
Want to know who I am?
Chandru!
Not bad. You do remember.
Isn't this the first time
we're meeting?
Hi.
Vetri, wake up.
Vetri, wake up.
Vetri, wake up.
Vetri, wake up.
Vetri, look at me.
Vetri, look at me.
It's alright.
Look at me.
It's alright.
Wake up.
Wake up.
-Nithya!
Where are we, Nithya?
Are you okay?
-What's going on here?
How did you end up here?
How did I end up here?
Where's your phone? You told me to come.
-I'll explain, be patient.
What's that on your hand?
-I'll explain.
It's them. Who the hell are you?
What do you want?
-Close the door.
And that's the right way
to use chloroform.
Why have you kidnapped us?
What do you want?
Don't touch me.
-Calm down, brother.
So many questions!
Your lover didn't
tell you who I am?
Who is he, Nithya?
Brother, let me tell you.
I am one of her 4,000 Facebook friends,
just like you.
It could have been me in your place.
But she rejected me.
What's he saying, Nithya?
I didn't disturb her,
thinking maybe she was a lesbian.
But when a girl who rejected me
said yes to you, I couldn't comprehend it.
Why did she turn me down?
Why did she accept you?
I brought you down to find answers.
That's all there is to it.
What's he on about, Nithya?
The primary reason why a girl would
like or dislike in a guy is his character.
And you've displayed your
cheap character only too well.
Don't even talk to him, Nithya.
You are correct.
I am indeed a cheap guy.
I admit.
Brother, do you love Nithya?
Yes.
You're going to marry her?
Yes, she's gonna be my wife.
Okay, brother.
I'll give you two options.
I'll just let you go. Don't tell anyone
that you were here or that you saw Nithya.
No way. What's he blabbering, Nithya?
If not, aren't you going to marry Nithya?
Marry her right here
and take your wife away.
Marry her?
What the hell?
For our satisfaction, we'll shoot a video.
What the--
Think about it, brother.
One minute.
Fine, assuming I do marry her,
how do I know that you'll let us go?
I will keep my word, brother.
Vetri, don't believe him.
He is not a good person.
I know all about him.
He's playing a game.
Nithya, listen to me.
Don't you love me?
What a stupid question!
We decided to marry anyway.
-In this room?
Amidst these strangers?
Listen to me, Nithya.
-Don't say anything, Vetri.
What do you expect from me?
To fight these three men?
But we can't just obey him.
Stop being stupid!
Why aren't you getting this?
We need to get out of here, Nithya.
Who cares who watches us
get married?
Why do you mind marrying me?
-Be patient.
He says he's your Facebook friend.
I don't understand what's happening--
See, I have a past.
Let's not talk about it now.
Let it be, Nithya.
Let's find a way out of here.
Exactly what I'm telling you.
-Nithya, please hear me out.
Let's first get out of this fucking place.
You're rushing in, Vetri.
You won't listen to a word I say.
Do as you please.
We'll get married.
Superb, brother.
Here's the nuptial thread.
Brother...
Can you record a video for us?
Brother, wait a minute!
Something's missing.
What do you want?
Wait, we'll be right back.
What now?
Where are you going?
Nithya, where did you get that phone?
Who are you calling?
What's happening?
What's going on here?
-I'll explain.
Please tell me what you're upto.
Nithya...Nithya...
-Hold on a second, Vetri.
Sorry, Nithya.
Sorry, Nithya.
I slept off after taking the pill.
-Did you call the police?
I did call-call. But the police
didn't believe-believe.
They believed me when I lied
but not when I spoke the truth-truth.
What do I do?
NITHYA: What are you doing?
NITHYA: Let him go! Let go!
BALU: Who-who is that?
Who-who is that?
BALU: What's going on, Nithya?
BALU: Don't hurt her.
Leave her alone-alone!
NITHYA: Vetri...
NITHYA: Let go of us!
BALU: Vetri, have you arrived?
To save Nithya-Nithya?
NITHYA: Don't harm us.
CHANDRU: Brother, come here.
Save Nithya.
Save Nithya.
Don't hit-hit her!
Don't hit-hit her!
Vetri, hit them!
Hit them!
VETRI: Nithya...
Vetri, save Nithya.
CHANDRU: Calm down.
-BALU: Who the hell are you?
BALU: Why have you locked Nithya up?
Guys, wait outside.
-Why?
Go on, I'll explain.
VETRI: Just let us go.
Brother, could you take this suitcase out?
We won't be needing it anymore.
Bruce Lee-Bruce Lee! Hurry up here.
Come and save Nithya.
Come and save Nithya!
Hurry up!
Can't you hear me?
Somebody hurry up and please help.
VETRI: Let her go,
don't do this.
Nithya! Nithya! Nithya!
NITHYA: Take your hands off me.
BALU: It's wrong-wrong.
Nithya!
CHANDRU: There's no point
shouting, brother.
BALU: Don't do it.
It's wrong.
Please help!
Please help!
NITHYA: Let me go!
BALU: Nithya! Nithya!
Nithya needs to be saved!
Nithya-Nithya...
Nithya! Nithya!
Oh, no!
Lift him up, man.
What has he done!
Why have you tied up the groom?
How will he tie the nuptial thread?
Brother, a little help?
Where's the nuptial thread?
Oh, there it is.
Here's your nuptial thread, brother.
Oh, the bride's not ready?
I'll be back.
Nithya, come here.
Sit up.
The bride's ready, brother.
Come on.
I'll sit over there.
Tie the knot!
Give me your phone.
Don't trouble yourself,
I'll shoot the video.
Don't hesitate.
Tie it.
I will keep my word.
No.
I am leaving.
What did you say?
Oh, you're choosing the first option?
Didn't I tell you earlier?
You wouldn't listen.
We won't be needing this anymore.
Got anything to say to Nithya?
-No.
Just let me go.
-Go talk to her.
Brother, come on.
Let's give them some privacy.
You talk to her,
we'll wait outside.
Nithya...
Have you spoken to her?
Carry on.
This was the "good character"
you mentioned, eh?
These girls are all the same.
They're not to be trusted.
My friend has a car. He will drop you
wherever you want to go.
Brother, let's have a drink?
-I am leaving.
Come on, just another five minutes.
Sit down.
How can you trust him
and let him out? He's seen your face.
What if he talks?
No, I won't.
Trust me.
I won't tell anybody.
You heard the guy.
Here you go.
-No.
Come on, have a drink.
Sekar, trust is the
basic foundation of life.
Mahesh Brother, here's what you do...
Can I trouble you to
drop him off wherever he wishes?
Yeah, brother?
Nithya...
Nithya-Nithya...
Nithya?
What happened, Nithya?
Talk to me, Nithya.
Are you there?
Talk to me, Nithya.
Talk-talk to me.
Balasubramani...
Nithya, what happened?
What happened, Nithya?
Talk to me.
Are you angry with me?
I am sorry. Talk to me.
Talk to me, Nithya.
-Why would I be angry with you?
I am only angry with myself.
I hate my life.
I wish to die.
-Don't say that-say that!
Why should you die?
Don't die-die.
Take that back!
That's wrong-wrong.
You won't understand what happened here.
Or you wouldn't be speaking this way.
I do understand-understand.
What happened to you
happened-happened to Ma too.
Poor Ma-poor Ma.
Poor you-poor you.
Poor women.
Wrong-wrong.
Dad left-left us.
He said I am mad
and went with another woman-woman.
He told Ma-Ma to abandon me
and go with another man-man.
But Ma didn't leave-leave.
She didn't leave-leave.
Ma and I were
alone-alone at home...
and Pa's bad friend
came home-came home.
he did wrong-wrong with Ma.
He did wrong-wrong with Ma, Nithya.
I couldn't do anything, Nithya.
I couldn't do anything.
Ma cried-cried.
He hit-hit her on the head
and she was bleeding-bleeding.
Ma fainted-fainted and fell.
I couldn't save her, Nithya.
I couldn't save her.
I got seizures-seizures.
Just like I did now.
I couldn't save her.
You got seizures now?
Yes, now-now.
When you shouted-shouted,
I got seizures.
That day Ma cried-cried.
Screamed and cried-cried.
She hugged-hugged me and cried.
But Ma didn't die.
She didn't die-die.
Then Ma and I moved to
another house far away.
But Ma didn't leave me and die-die.
Who would care for me if Ma died-died?
So she didn't die.
I feel bad that I trouble-trouble Ma
and feel like dying.
But if I die,
who will be there for Ma?
So I didn't die-die.
Ma didn't die-die either.
You shouldn't die-die either.
Do you understand, Nithya?
Do you understand? Do you?
I understand, Balasubramani.
Even though I'm mad, I'm still alive...
why should you die?
Don't die.
Just shower and
the filth will wash away. Okay?
It will be fine once you shower.
Don't worry-worry.
Who is the bad boy-bad boy?
What's his name?
Who, Chandru?
Chandru! I will beat him up.
I will hit him a lot.
Bruce Lee has taught me Karate,
I will punch his nose.
You don't worry yourself, Nithya.
Okay?
Are you there, Nithya?
The call got cut.
What happened?
The call got cut...
Hello?
What happened, Nithya?
The call got disconnected.
Don't disconnect, talk to me.
There's no balance, Balasubramani.
It will end soon.
Don't let it end!
Don't let it end!
The phone hasn't
been recharged, Balasubramani.
What do I do? What do I do?
I am thinking...
You don't have to think, Balasubramani.
Just talk to me till it gets cut.
How do I save you without thinking?
I believe in God.
Let him do as he chooses.
Don't trust him.
He won't save-save you.
He won't save Ma, he won't save you.
He is busy with other work.
Nithya? Nithya-Nithya?
Hello-Hello, Nithya?
The call got cut.
I need money
for the phone...
To recharge the phone.
I need to recharge the phone.
What you looking at?
You are such a crook.
I have never met anyone like you.
Stop flashing that evil smile.
Mahesh, I think you're drunk.
Don't run your mouth, be quiet.
That's also his doing. He got us drunk
and calmly sips his beer.
What's your problem?
I'm not talking to you.
Remember what you told me?
You told me his lover cheated him
and went around with another man.
You said we just need to
threaten her a bit.
I did have my suspicion.
Is that what's happening here?
I didn't know this was
going to happen.
My point exactly.
Neither you, nor I knew.
But he did.
He knew everything,
start to finish.
This guy seated here like a statue,
did you know he was going to nab him?
You didn't.
Do you know what he's going to do to him?
You don't.
He said the girl loved him.
But she didn't.
Did he tell you that?
No.
Did he tell you he was
going to rape her? No.
He made us put on masks...
while he went around flashing his smile
and talking to them.
What's he going to do to them?
Let them go?
Or kill them right here?
Shut up, don't goad him.
Oh, like he's taking my advice.
Do you still not get him?
The guy was going to marry her.
He made the guy reject her.
He's a terrible person.
I'll never trust him again.
He will get me caught--
and walk away with that smile.
And you won't care, either.
It's my car we kidnapped her in.
I'll be in trouble.
Well, that's just your car, you jerk.
Think about where we're sitting now?
My home.
If this were to get out,
what would happen to my family?
He's your friend.
You go to prison for him.
Why should I?
Look, you and I aren't doing this
for nothing. It's for money.
Stop acting like a bloody saint.
Chandru, why are you keeping mum?
Just pay him off.
We'll figure my pay later.
No hard feelings between us.
Sekar, just pay me 75%
of what we agreed upon.
Why don't you want the balance?
Instead of the 25%,
I'll have a go at her.
It will be worth the trouble
if I get caught.
You think this is funny?
You're getting on my nerves!
-Why would you hit him?
Get lost!
Does he own her?
I am not a wimp.
Watch me now.
You won't sleep with me?
Don't I look like a man to you?
Come on, woman.
-What are you doing? Stop!
Why are you causing trouble?
-Let go!
It's your house.
You should have a go, too.
Let go! Let go of me!
Get out of here, man.
I'm so pissed,
I could crack his skull open.
You'll have to deal with it, Sekar.
I deserve this,
for trusting you.
BALU: I have to save her.
I have to save her.
Hello? Nithya?
Did you get the money?
Did you recharge this number?
-Yes.
I thought hard, then threw the paper
with number out of the window.
I called Ma, she must have been busy.
She didn't answer.
Ma will call me back.
I will promise her,
she will believe me.
Your mother must be busy.
Don't disturb her.
Yes... but how do I
save you then?
My mother will look for me
if I'm missing.
Won't your father come
looking-looking for you?
He won't.
Why not?
He's abroad.
What's that broad-broad?
He is in America, Balasubramani.
Where is it?
Is it very far-far?
Yes, it's very far.
What does he do there?
He makes money.
Why does he make money there
when you're here?
I don't get it, and my father
doesn't get it the way you do.
Nobody can understand
another person's plight.
Everyone pretends to be good until
the circumstances arise.
I don't understand-understand, Nithya.
You need not understand, Balasubramani.
You're better off this way.
There's a lot of filth
inside every one of us.
Just take a shower,
and the filth will wash away.
I will try, Balsubramani.
-Try-try. Shower, and it will be gone.
I will beat up Chandru-Chandru.
How do you know-know him?
He's my Facebook friend.
What book is that?
Is it a bigger book
than Thirukkural?
I don't know.
I have 4000 friends there.
Good friends-good friends?
Will they help-help you?
No, they won't.
Then it's just a waste-waste?
Yes, no one helps at a time of danger.
Don't worry. I will help-help.
I will save you. Save-save you.
I am thinking.
Balasubramani, do you get seizures often?
When I get stressed...
It's very dangerous.
Does Ma know?
-Ma doesn't know-know. Poor Ma.
She'll feel bad.
So I didn't tell her.
You don't tell-tell her.
Poor Ma, don't tell her.
Fine, I won't tell her.
I have to save-save you.
I am thinking-thinking...
I am thinking-thinking...
my head hurts!
My head hurts.
My ears are ringing.
Balasubramani, what's for lunch today?
What's for lunch?
Spinach-spinach and 'appalam'.
Have you eaten yet?
I have to save-save you first.
How do I save you?
It's okay, Balasubramani.
-How do I save you?
Can you do me a favour?
I will. Tell-tell me.
Do you know any jokes?
But I have to save-save you.
How could I joke?
Do you know any jokes or not?
Funny jokes, right?
I do know-know.
Tell me one.
-Will you laugh-laugh?
I will laugh.
Why do "dosas" have holes?
I do know.
Don't say that! Or it won't be
funny-funny.
Fine, I don't know.
You tell me.
Because we cook it on fire.
Did you laugh-laugh?
I did laugh, Balasubramani.
I'll tell you another-another?
Sekar, why are you sobbing like a kid?
Get lost! You've showed your
true colours as a rich brat.
Serves me right for trusting you.
He trusted me and came to help,
but you smashed his skull!
How would I answer his wife?
Why would you answer to his wife?
This is all her fault!
She is going to pay for it.
This is all your fault.
What have you done to him,
that he's acting this way?
I don't think you'll
get out of here alive.
You're going to end up dead.
Nithya? Nithya? Nithya?
Yeah, Balasubramani?
-Nithya, who was that?
The guy who spoke now?
Yes, yes.
I don't know. I saw the faces
of the other two.
He had a mask on,
so I couldn't see.
But I know him-know him.
What do you mean?
You mean the guy who just spoke?
Yes, I know-know him.
He's Chandrasekar.
He works at the phone repair place
near the Ganesha Temple.
He is bad. Bad-bad. Very bad.
-Balasubrami, one moment.
Do you know his place?
I know-I know. It's on the left side
to my house.
Balasubramani, I am at his place now.
Why did you go there?
You should have come to my house!
I told you I've been locked up here.
Oh, yes. You've been locked-up.
How to save you?
Hey, Chandrasekar...
How do you know my name?
Tell him I said I'll hit him.
How did you get this phone?
Who's on the line?
My friend, Balasubramani.
I am Nithya's friend-friend.
Hello?
-Chandrasekar, you're caught-caught!
You're the one who's
locked up Nithya?
How are you on this call, idiot?
I am not an idiot.
You're the idiot!
I'll kill you!
Come at me! I will kill you too.
I'm coming there.
-Come on, we'll see.
Chandrasekar, it's all over.
The police are on the way.
What?
What's that phone?
-It's all over, the police are on the way.
What are you blabbering?
Keep an eye on her,
I'll be right back.
Chandrasekar, you asshole.
Where are you going? Stay here.
How do you know his name?
Hello?
-Hello?
Is there a problem?
Do you need any help?
No, why do you ask?
I found a piece of paper on the road
with this number, and ten rupees.
I was wondering if there's trouble.
Is there a problem?
-No such thing.
I'll handle it.
Thank you.
BALU: He will hit me...
Hey, macho guy.
I'm at your place. Come on out.
We should have chased you
and your mother a long time back.
Shouldn't have spared you.
BALU: Don't talk about my Ma...
-There you are!
Where are you hiding?
Come on out!
Come out!
You're done for!
Didn't you challenge me to come?
Help me! Help me!
You're going to die today.
Don't hit me in the ass!
-No one's going to save you.
Bruce Lee is outside,
he'll come save me!
He's an idiot, and so are you.
He'll come to save you, eh?
I'm not an idiot!
You dare to hit me?
-I'll kill you.
Come, kill me.
Where are you running?
Stop!
I'm here, idiot.
-Are you playing hide-and-seek?
Come out now.
Come on out.
Come closer.
-You come closer.
Here I am.
What was that?
It's burning.
Take that!
I'm getting electric shocks.
You're so dead, man.
Did you hit me
in the eyes with chilli powder?
You spoke about my mother!
How do you know the girl?
I need to save Nithya!
Where did you go?
Ma is calling.
I'll tell on you?
Give me the phone.
Ma, Chandrasekar broke in.
He broke-broke the new lock.
I hit him.
You don't worry.
He's the one holding Nithya.
I'm going to save Nithya.
Hurry up, Ma.
Get off me.
Where are you going?
Bruce Lee! Bruce Lee! Bruce Lee!
Why are you outside, friend?
Hurry up, and come here.
We need to save her!
Save who?
We need to save Nithya.
Who's Nithya, friend?
You don't know Nithya?
Nithya from Infosys.
Who's Nithya? What Infosys?
Stop talking, hurry up.
There's a big problem.
Who's causing a problem here
in my hood?
Chandrasekar hit me in the ass.
I hit him back with the electric bat.
I told Ma.
Chandru is a bad boy.
He needs to be punched in the nose.
We need to save Nithya.
So we need to save Nithya now?
Let's go kick some ass.
Friend, who are they?
I don't know-know.
What are you doing?
Why is a girl lying on the floor?
Who are you people?
Who are you?
Balasubramani!
Nithya... Nithya...
Balasubramani!
-Nithya, I am here.
He dares to shove you, friend?
Who the hell are you both?
I am Nithya's friend, Balasubramani.
Nithya, is he Chandru?
Is he Chandru?
Yes, he is Chandru.
Get up, Nithya!
Couldn't you find another place to die?
"Couldn't find another place to die?"
Punch his nose.
Just watch me.
Punch his nose.
He's going to hit you!
Hit him.
See? Bruce Lee knows Karate!
He's going to hit you now.
He hit the great Bruce Lee!
You hit the great Bruce Lee?
Let go of my ear.
It hurts.
Don't hurt Balasubramani!
BRUCE LEE: You are done for!
What's in your hand?
I won't tell you, rascal.
Friend, if you swear,
I will tell Ma.
Don't tell Ma!
Take it back then.
Fine, I'll take it back.
I take it back, rascal.
I won't say "rascal", rascal.
You could have just not
taken it back.
What are you on about?
I'll hit you!
He's unleashed the chilli powder!
Nithya, hold him.
Hit him, Bruce Lee.
-Bring him over here.
Stop talking, hit him!
Come here.
Did you see that?
That was the Karate kick!
Tie him up.
Tie him up.
Tie his legs.
Wait outside, Balasubramani.
I have unfinished business.
I'll wait right there,
call me if you need me.
Nithya-Nithya...
Nithya-Nithya, just one moment.
Yes, go for it.
Bam!
-You smashed his nose!
This one's for Nithya.
This one's for Ma.
Bad boy...
I need to hit him.
That's the last time
you'll ever smile in your life.
Bruce Lee?
Come, Ma.
Friend, Ma is here.
Ma, you're here finally.
Are you okay?
I am okay, Ma.
I am okay, Ma.
Chandrasekar had locked her up.
Bruce Lee and I thrashed them.
Fine, let's go.
-We saved Nithya-Nithya!
Don't worry.
Nithya, look that's Ma!
Ma, this is Nithya.
Nithya and Ma are hugging.
What happened, dear?
It's alright.
SI: Is this the house?
CONSTABLE: -Yes, sir.
SI: What happened to them?
CONSTABLE: I don't know, sir.
CONSTABLE: The lady is there.
-BALU: Police, hurry up.
SI: Two of you, go in and check.
BRUCE LEE: In there, sir.
HEAD CONSTABLE: Sir, come here
and have a look at this!
