Driver Jamuna (2022) Movie Script
1
'Driver Jamuna'
'Aren't you Jamuna's maternal uncle?'
'You have her best interest
at heart, right?'
'Then won't you advise her
for her own good?'
'Why should I advise her?'
'What wrong did Jamuna do?'
'It is all in your mind'
'You ask her directly'
Typical bailiff answer!
I thought you watch
only court proceedings happily
- Same attitude to family too
- Aunt
Uncle, don't move the chair
Amma will walk
'Lift your leg and walk, ma'
'You can do it'
'Pccht!'
'Jamuna, I agree the photos make her cry
and so you removed your appa's photos'
'What can you do about her memories
embedded in your amma's heart?'
'Of course I can't do anything'
Ma
Uncle, take her inside
Aunt, what are you mad about now?
I've told you like a broken record
You refuse to have an open mind
Nowadays a whole new avenue has
opened up for women professionally
Why should you reject all that
and take up a job as driver?
Listen to me, Jamuna
Quit this driver's job
I don't like it
- Aunt, wasn't my dad a driver?
- He's a man!
You are a girl
You'll have a hard time in life
if you stick to this job
I don't agree with you, aunt
Your younger brother got a job
in Bangalore as an engineer
'He has mortgaged the house
and helped himself to the cash'
'If only your dad had been sensible
he wouldn't have died'
'If you were sensible too
you wouldn't be so stubborn'
- Aunt
- 'Get this into your head'
'If you have to settle down well in life'
...first you should be selfish
You won't understand
anything I tell you now, aunt
Pcccht!
Did your brother call you?
He spoke to me yesterday
Don't talk to him hereafter
Amma
Shall we both go out this evening
as soon as I'm back from work?
(no need)
In the tip of my 3 fingers
One is 'beach'
Another is 'park'
(God)
(to temple)
Whatever happens at home
you won't let go of your God!
(You apply on your forehead too)
This comforts you
You believe in God
I have many questions unanswered
Just let me be
'Philomena has come'
'I'm trusting her with you'
Take good care of her
- My grand daughter's wedding, sir
- Please do the needful, sir
[overlap of voices]
[indistinct chatter]
My husband gets sloshed
and hits me daily, sir
- I can't take this torture anymore
- No, sir, she is lying
I'll beat you to a pulp
if you don't reform
'Take good care of your wife'
- Bro
- Escort her home safely
Thank you, sir
Go home without any worry
I'm there for you
- Collected all the petitions?
- Yes, sir
- Keep it inside
- Yes, sir
Listen, brother
Arul
- Arul
- Sir?
- Drink buttermilk
- It's okay, sir
I'll water the plants
till you come
- It's alright, sir
- Go, I say
I can do this
Why did you gulp it
in one go like that?
- It's okay, sir
- Why rush like this?
It's alright
Drink it up
How many tender coconuts
do you sell per day?
'On Sundays I'll get Rs 500'
'Must be tough
making ends meet?'
'What to do?
Such is life'
The 'groom-target' is at home
The procession will
pass by this street
So can we conduct the 'wedding'
at the auspicious time we've chosen?
Pccht!
'What the eff are you doing?'
'Why did you bang the car
in the bus stand?'
'If you claw my face
while driving'
'That will be your fate!'
'Why do you behave like blockheads?'
- 'How dare you!
- Let go, bro'
- Yes, Bhaskar?
- Where are you, bro?
'Near Walajabad'
Are you caught
in a scuffle with Madhi?
This idiot is being so playful
I told you not to add
a bike chain-thief with us in our gang
Did you listen to me?
Did you read today's newspaper or not?
Situation isn't too good here
No cop should sniff us out
like scent hounds, bro
We have taken the cash
We must finish the wedding
and leave Chennai without a whisper!
I'll leave him behind here
- Otherwise we'll get caught
- 'He's a smart cookie, I say'
- Pccht!
- Okay, I'll talk to him'
Belsath doesn't have
any powder on him, right?
No, I checked thoroughly
If he takes a snort
then no one can control him, bro
He'll turn into a beast
He didn't snort a line
'Only intake is booze'
He's of no use to us
if he doesn't booze
Waste
- I hope you know that
- 'I know'
You should get here
within an hour
He wants us to reach in 1 hour
How will we go now, huh?
Walajabad to Chengalpattu.
Chengalpattu via Thiruporur to Devaneri
70 km on the whole
Bro, why don't the three of us...
...make a great escape?
Wasted fellow!
Just for fun, bro
He doesn't know English
Jolly time, bro
Give me your phone
- Give it to me, bro
- Why?
What happened to your phone?
Display screen cracked
I left it in my room
If you keep hugging your phone
all night, serves you right!
Listen, it's getting late
Let go of me
I'll call a cab
Who, man?
Your friend?
No one should know
about the wedding, okay?
Cab is not a person, bro
It's call taxi, bro
Thanks, bro
Jamuna
You had called me?
How is your mother?
When she walked this morning
she couldn't turn by herself
When she was practising with the ball
She missed twice
This is a first time for her, doctor
'She doesn't have
any complications, Jamuna'
'Sometimes this may happen'
'Because her body has become stiff'
'This is a regular symptom
of Parkinson's disease'
'But she has to practice
without missing the routine'
I am scared, doctor
Nothing should happen to amma
I have asked Philomena to observe
your amma the whole day
'Don't worry, Jamuna'
Okay, doctor
Thank you
'What is this, man?'
'Don't know which car
will fall into our hands'
- Thanks, bro
- Correct cash?
Bro
Got 1 car
What now?
I head a sound and
now the car has disappeared?
You stared at the screen, eh?
That's why sensor got cut
Turn the other side, bro
Car is almost here
We are the ones who called you
Hello?
Where do you have to get dropped?
'Devaneri, near ECR'
Long distance
Please cancel the trip
It is very easy
to trick a female
Don't miss this car
Go
Hey!
I told you I can't opt for a long trip
'Please cancel it'
Please, it's really urgent
Already we are late
'Actually'
'On the way, the brake failed'
'I crashed into that bus stop'
We tried to set right
the damage to the car
But we failed
I'm also a car driver
We are the caterers for a wedding
Already our group has gone ahead
We are late as it is
- Owner will give us a shelling
- 'Hey! Madhi'
Got to shift this
pile of banana leaves
- Tell her
- 'Wait, brother
Please sister.
Hey!
Do you know anyone in this gang?
No, sir
Bro?
'Murders by mercenaries on the rise'
'Special task force under
Asst Commissioner Subash'
We get paid for this too, huh?
Lower your hands
Bro, zoom that frame
Rewind and zoom
Do you know that chap in a lungi?
I don't know, sir
Aren't you this Murthy?
No, sir
Sir, he is related to my wife
He visits us whenever
he comes from Palayamkottai
Other than that,
I have no connection with him, sir
Even now he's staying
in Kancheepuram
Hey! Tell me his current mobile #
Hey! I want his number
95-66-03
93-43, sir
- Hello?
- Nagu'na, where are you?
We are coming in a cup
'What...cup?'
I told you we have rented a taxi
Brainless or what?
Why did you take a public car?
Don't you have any sense?
I told you things are not going right
This young chap gave that idea-
Did your brain rust too?
'Choosing a call taxi'
'If we get into a mess
you'll get it from me'
Forget it
'The cops will be on a witch hunt'
- 'You'll count bars-'
- Don't get hyper
I'll make sure we have no hassles
Why have you come here?
We'll pick up another passenger here
Pick up, huh?
Ask her to halt
Tell her to stop now
'Stop now, madam'
'Will you stop now or not?'
'Stop'
'What is it?'
We booked this ride
Listen!
No one else should get into this car
Sir, you have opted for a share trip
Sharing, huh?
No
You can check if you like
Yes, she's right, bro
Option has changed
Damn you!
[honking]
[humming a rap song]
[honking]
- Excuse me
- Are you mad or what?
Your car has come to
take you to Kilpauk hospital
- Oh!
- Go
'I am sorry'
'Why should I explain to this female?
I'll talk to the passenger'
'Hey!'
'Listen to me'
[humming]
'Hello...hello?'
- 'Look outside'
- Hahn?
Over there
- Hahn?
- Take another car
We need to go urgently
Why should I take another cab?
It's urgent for me too
[humming]
He has to get down on the way
It won't take longer
or be a detour to drop him
'Lower the glass, man'
Bro, Bhaskar anna is calling, get in
He will get stressed out
Bhaskar, I told you
there won't be any hassles
Hello?
[humming]
Bloody fellow!
How dare you trick me!
'He pushed me'
Cancel appa's programs, all of them
Okay, bro
Don't take appa anywhere outside
without my permission
Okay, anna
I'll handle it
Tapas, appa should be safe
I'll take care, I can
assure you he'll be safe
Bhaskar
Bhaskar, he is Tapas
He knows me very well
Chennai gang
That means the news has leaked
- Appa?
- What's the problem?
It's risky
No need today
Pccht! Shut your gob
Bhaskar, anyway call and check
Listen to me
There are many relatives just like us
all over the groom's house
Let me know if you want
the 'wedding' today?
Should not postpone
a politician's 'wedding'
Situation will present itself
Wait till then
'Bhaskar, what's the lawyer saying?'
Hari Krishna told me
It must be true, pa
I am your son
Believe me, pa
Make me believe you
[humming]
Good luck!
Hahn?
I said 'good luck'
For what?
You are a music director
You are going for
a song composing session
How strange!
No one in the film industry knows
We haven't announced it
How do you know?
- Esakki told me
- Hahn?
Esakki
She's sitting here
She told me
Hello?
I'm being serious, sir
You are Anirudh's guitarist
You've got a chance
to be a music director
Your director is waiting in Neelankarai
You are going for
a song composing session
If you don't believe me
You can ask Her yourself
Anirudh himself doesn't know!
I was just kidding, sir
You booked this cab
from your mobile
So I have your mobile # in my phone
I have True Caller app in my phone
That's okay, but the director
waiting in Neelankarai?
Do you need a PhD
to figure this out?
Just paying keen attention is enough
Half the technicians in film industry
have shifted to ECR side
I take 3 trips a week
in this direction
Besides all that, a person's name
and phone number is all one needs
We can get all his details, A to Z
She is just fibbing
Excuse me
- Greetings, sir
- Hey! Bless you
Sit down
How do you know
someone is out to kill me?
Listen to MLA Karthikeyan's message
'Yov! Politics is a war, man'
'3 consecutive times in
Maragadha Velu's constituency'
'I used money power and defeated him
as Member of the Legislative Assembly'
But people's favorite
is Maragadha Velu
His son Manickam wanted to enter politics
Maragadha Velu was not inclined
to let his son enter this dirty world
But his son Manickam is very smart
He stood as an independent candidate
and won the Corporation election
He became a councillor
Even if Maragadha Velu wants to
he can't hold his son back now
His party members will support him
But despite all this, Maragadha Vel
won't make his son contest in this election
Only he will contest
He will win and become a minister
We won't be able to do a damn thing
In the coming election
if Maragadha Vel is not around
And if his son contests
it will be favorable to us
Do you get what I am implying?
If I am not alive
My son will take my place
He can be easily defeated
You claim that's why Karthikeyan
is hatching this plan, huh?
But how did you get this voice recording?
The driver working in
MLA Karthikeyan's house
And the cook in that household
They are my spies
Why are you playing with their lives?
He is head deep in corruption
That's how his brain will work
But why should I think
he is out to murder me?
Look, I am not here for the name, fame,
position or orchestrate political ploys
I am here to serve my people
If I win and occupy a seat in
the Parliament, I'll speak for the people
These statistics or Opposition
can't change that course of action
I told you in the club last night
I have no further information
Don't call during the day
It's risky, bro
You were sloshed last night
That's why I'm calling you
when you are sober, tell me
Some obituary posters
need to be stuck it seems
They wanted a reliable gang
'I gave them the number
Please ensure our leader is safe'
We need more men
Call them here immediately
Excuse me
[loudly conducting an orchestra]
Thriller genre
Theme is scary
That tune will terrify
the listener always
Weren't you scared?
Terrifying?
Nice
- Jamuna?
- What, uncle?
My car will all of a sudden get stuck
I won't be able to start it at all
I'll be so stressed out
When I'm racking my head what to do
your father's car will come to my rescue
Today it is you
Looking at the car
is like seeing your appa
- Do you want diesel, uncle?
- Yes, dear
I tried pumping
but it isn't starting
Your father will always
stock extra diesel in the car
I have diesel even now, uncle
It is my appa's car, right?
Here
Look here
Hardly any traffic on a Sunday
We can still make it, sir
Give it, dear
Jamuna
Uncle
Airport ride
Already late
I'll transfer the amount
through Googlepay, okay?
Thanks, dear
We are late for the wedding
Aren't you coming?
You are bleeding?
Nothing serious
When I opened the boot, edge of
some sharp steel scratched me
Manickam
Don't obsess about your father
Call me if there's any issue
I'm close by
- I'll take leave, sir
- Take care
How can I help my leader?
Am I your leader?
I address Maragadha Vel only as 'sir'
But you are the one
I call 'leader'
Wow! You'll make it big in politics
I should measure my words with you
Instead of throwing
this paper out
You can confess you aren't
part of the wedding group!
'Murders by mercenaries on the rise'
Oh gawd!
'Murders by mercenaries on the rise'
Hahn?
'Special task force under
Asst Commissioner Subash'
Crime
Baaaaaaaaaaaaang!
Tring...tring...tring!
BAAAAAAAANG!
WHAT?
Rahim?
- What, man?
- I think it is risky
- I can't do it
- You took the cash, no?
Tapas is standing there
- Let's scoot
- Can we?
'Hey! Rahim'
Hello, Tapas anna
We are dead meat now
- Are you armed?
- It will boomerang
- What brings you here?
- Came regarding a finance job
- Nothing else, no?
- No, bro
I have a job
Want to take it up?
- What should we do?
- Just an escort job
You will get bulk payment
'I am hungry
I'll eat and be back'
- Can do, bro
- Only 2 of you?
3 more are on the way
Ask them to come here straight, okay?
Now I know why
the lawyer asked us to wait
I don't get it
- Philomi
- Akka?
1 minute, hold
I'll give the phone to the doctor
'Jamuna, amma's stiffness is getting worse'
'Going by her symptoms, I think
she has deteriorated to the next stage'
As far as possible, we must admit her
in the hospital as early as tomorrow
'With continuous therapy
she will definitely improve'
'Jamuna, don't worry'
'Okay, doctor'
'We can discuss it
when you get back'
'Akka, amma wants to see you'
Switch to video call
- Move
- Car took a dizzy turn
(Don't worry)
(I am really fine)
(Attend to your work)
Hey! Look
If she wants to cry
ask her to go home and cry
Sorry
You said you checked his pocket
and he didn't have any powder
I checked, bro
There wasn't any powder on him
Why didn't you check his in pocket?
Let him be, he knows his limit
Nothing will go wrong
Situation highly risky
Ask them to hurry up
Yes, man
Sir, tea
- Give it to sir
- Sir?
For you
Why penalise your stomach
because you are stressed?
Waste of tracking them
That Palayamkottai gang
is travelling in a car now
In a call taxi
The driver is a girl
If only we are given
the force we are asking
I can lock this gang easily
But they are delaying it
The delay is because of
the retired Inspector General
I feel he is behind this case
Don't we know?
His only son and
daughter-in-law were killed
But how can he interfere
because of that?
He has clout within the department
and in political circles
We have to wait
till we get our back up
- We will have more casualties
- Let them die
But we won't have time
to think about it
We would've moved on
to the next case by then
- Hello?
- 'I am Subash'
'Asst commissioner of police'
Tell me
'Your passengers are mercenary killers'
'You don't worry'
'We have your car completely
under our surveillance'
'Talk to me as if you are
talking to someone else'
Okay, doctor
'But I am scared'
My mother has no one else, doctor
Similarly I have
only her in my life
I hope you understand, doctor
- 'Tell me'
- Somehow set it right, doctor
I trust you completely
Nothing dangerous should happen, please
'Don't get emotional
You will be fine'
'We've locked the road,
ahead and behind for 3 km'
'Your car is under our control now'
'Move the barricade and block'
'Quick!'
'Buckle up'
Come, shift it here
What should I do, doctor?
Are the accused harmed?
Yes, doctor
What kind?
I don't know how to explain, doctor
Pistol, gun, anything like that?
Nothing of that sort, doctor
Sickle or knife?
Yes, doctor
You are right
'Nothing else'
Tell me what I should do
'Just follow my instructions carefully'
'Exactly 1km from where you are'
'When you cross the arch
of Vishnu temple in Thiruvadandhai'
'Beach View is on the left'
Stop the car as if you are stuck
- Hey!
- 'Pretend the car has stalled'
'Let the gang be seated in the car'
'Step out for 5 minutes'
'Open the bonnet and
pretend you are trying to repair'
'But they shouldn't suspect you'
We'll handle the gang in that time gap
IG is asking you to change the plan
- Sir
- Huh?
What did your 'doctor' tell you?
He didn't say anything else
He did
Yes
But I was so scared
I didn't hear a single word
Let go
Let go of me
Let go
Don't strangle me
- 'Ask him to let her go, bro
- Now she'll cough up the facts'
Let go...let go of me
Let go
Let go of my throat
Jamuna, drive, my dear
'You are doing a great job'
'Watch out'
LET GO!
Let me go
LET GO
'Lorry...lorry
Let go of her, bro'
'Lorry, bro'
'Fast...fast'
Go...go faster
'Drink water'
Hey!
What you experienced just now
That is 'fear'!
If you think you can escape from us
It will be only for today
We can barge into your house tomorrow
If we do so
No one will be alive in your house
Only the house will remain
as brick and mortar
'When we decide to kill a man'
The police can't always save our target
Do you know why I spared your life now?
You are a 'worth' driver
Your car has to go in the route I specify
Understand?
'Climb down carefully'
'Slow down...slow down'
- 'Go slow
- Send the vehicles'
- 'Quick!
- Go...go...go'
'Send the 2-wheelers'
'Just follow my orders, Subash'
Okay, received
'Don't stop'
'Keep moving'
'Go...go...keep going'
What is the IG saying?
Asking me to handle it as
a 'hit & run' case
How's that possible?
We notice the car
as we are driving casually
You get down and
interrogate the driver
At the same time I find
the weapons in the boot
Take the group from the car in our jeep
and we interrogate them formally
At that time, the backup force
will reach the spot
IG wants us to touch our nose
indirectly over our head
You see our nose is a scenthound!
Sir, as far as our case goes
Our revolver is just a puppet
following his orders, sir
'Which route should I take now?'
'Reverse and take the Kovalam route'
'Don't talk like a mad fellow'
- 'Hey!
- Police will be waiting if we reverse'
'Dimwitted dunce
Police will be waiting ahead too'
'You want us to get caught, eh?'
Then how will we go?
Whatever plan the police have hatched
According to their bloody plan
Take the same route
Drive past the arch
at Thiruvidandhai temple
Let the car halt at Beach View
Let the driver get down
She will open the bonnet
and check why the car has stalled
The next move after that
I will let you know
Drive
Oh God!
'Gurumurthy, cab position?'
Car on position, sir
- 'Shakthi?'
- Sir, watching
Move closer, when the jeep
closes in on the cab
Okay, sir
That Asst Commissioner of Police
is a bit of a hyper case
Must watch him carefully
Okay, sir
I'll ensure nothing goes amiss, sir
We were looking for
a 'Hit & run' case, right?
It's this car
Hello! You there
Show me your RC book
'Show your Trip Log?'
Where were you last night
from 10:00 to 11:00 p.m?
- Near Porur, sir
- Sir, look inside
Where are the 'accused' passengers?
He's the only passenger
in this trip, sir
Where did the passengers
seated at the back get down?
I am the only passenger, sir
We also know all the ploys
these criminals resort to
Don't risk your life
trying to help them
Sir, in this particular trip
I didn't take any accused
He is the only passenger, sir
Sir, if I don't say this
they have threatened to kill me
My mother stays alone
and she is a patient, sir
- Save me someho-
- Hey!
Didn't you speak clearly on the phone?
Muttering under your breath now
- Tell me where they are now
- I don't understand what you want, sir
He is the only passenger
I didn't take any other accused
I don't know what will happen next
I am very scared, sir
- Sir, help me
- Acting smart, eh?
I'll file a case and
take you into custody
Sir, call and inform your IG
Okay, sir
Let the patrol vehicles
stick to their rounds
I want that gang nabbed
No, sir
Car covered as per our plan
But the gang isn't in the car, sir
'Not at all, sir'
'We followed your orders
and executed it correctly'
'We don't know
how they escaped, sir'
- What, madam?
- Hey!
'Hey! Drop your gun
and sit down right there'
'Don't die'
Sir, accused has a gun too
Whatever happens at that spot
nothing should happen to that gang
Sir, should the police stand with
hands folded when lives are at stake?
Hey!
Arrest them
Make them talk
Every word they utter is important
'Nothing else should happen beyond that'
Stop the car
Music director
Get up and sit properly
Play music
Sing song
[humming in a scared tone]
Music included
You think the person who paid us
for the 'wedding' is in this house?
[irrelevant chatter]
I told you right in the beginning
to check if Belsath has powder on him
We are in a fix!
The cops will be
patrolling all over
We will definitely get caught
Okay, just tell me
what we should do now
There's no problem here
We can 'tie the noose-thread'
at the given time for the wedding
But the headaches are
the driver and her passenger
Witness
Then we will be nailed, bro
Fine, I'll handle them
- Get down
- Belsath, Bhaskar called
We won't squeal to the police
Please let us go
Aren't we obeying your instructions?
Belsath 'na
The gunshot will be heard, bro
'Instead of that'
Why is my mind changing now?
Till we cross Chennai
Let her be with us
How long will it take to reach Devaneri?
Another 10 minutes
Make us reach in 5 minutes
5 min-
How can we reach in 5 minutes?
[humming]
Didn't he pay you
to take another cab?
Can't you go faster than this?
If you slow down
from the present speed
Your head will get the same knock
your passenger just now got!
If you don't take us in 5 minutes flat
My mind will get re-set again!
'Why do you get angry, dear?'
'Your appa's advice is always
for the good of everyone'
'Don't you know that?'
'You were concerned of the welfare
of everyone in our neighborhood, pa
Did you ever think of us, pa?
Whom else do we have
other than you, pa?
Tell me if I am right or not?
Because of men like you
My father died
Who is your father?
Do you have a photo?
For all you know,
we may have killed your father
I know how he died
I didn't mean that
If a family member dies
That family will be shattered
How are you able to kill a person
for the sake of money?
Ask the same question
to your guardian deity 'Esakki'
She is also just like me
An ordinary woman
'Clear the road
Ambulance is leaving'
'Okay, sir'
You are hiding something from me
I don't understand your plan
By bending this case
to your whims and fancies
I don't know how many
more lives will be lost
I can't cooperate any longer
without knowing the truth
Simple
The man who killed my son
should meet the same fate
I need this gang alive
for me to fulfil my desire
By nabbing the agent
behind this gang
I need to know who ordered
my son to be killed
I want to kill him
with this same gang
After they kill him
we must 'encounter' this gang
I am using your uniform
If you can't comply
let me know
I can do this with the help
of some other officer
"Shall I dance in your eyes anew?
Whatever you ask, shall I give you?"
"Shall I enter your heart so true?
You are my heart, my beau"
"Shall I caress your cheeks?"
[song from 'All In All Azhagu Raja']
Belsath, shall I tell you something funny?
He is hosting us to his Last Supper
when we are his killers!
Maragadha Vel is truly a gentleman!
Suddenly turning over a new leaf?
Are you having second thoughts?
We can always redeem our sins
with a repentance ritual!
If we don't have targets like this
our pockets won't get lined!
'Listen, Jamuna
You are standing in one spot'
'A person falls down
right in front of our eyes'
What will you do?
Shouldn't we immediately
extend a helping hand?
It's the same with life, my dear
We don't have to go in search
of someone to be of help
But aren't we responsible too
for what's happening around us?
You may not realize the effect
of your father's words today
But you'll understand one day
'Police Station
Pattipulam'
- Huh?
- Button?
Go to the police
Huh?
Tell the cops
Hey!
What did you do?
Stop the car
Will you stop or not?
I couldn't control the car in that speed
The door wasn't shut properly
I know
Your mind is changing
Sir, no one can get into your house
when we are here to guard you
- Yes, sir
- Hey! Keep quiet
'Appa, what is the matter?'
Get that black note pad
'Sir, your coffee'
- Hey! Why didn't you tell?
- Stop it
Will he do this deliberately?
I'll wipe it clean, sir
I'll clean it myself
Only then he will reform
You go
In the same constituency
I was MLA for 3 terms
Karthikeyan has occupied my seat today
How?
Power of money
That's his strength
But he still wants to kill me
Why?
People's good opinion of me
That's my strength
Why did I make everyone believe
I dislike you entering politics?
I made you fight with me
Made you drift away from me
I made you contest
in the councillor election
And I made you win
Tell me why?
People should hold you in high esteem
just like they do so with me
Who are these people?
Not someone living
in a remote village
Those people include our employees
in the kitchen, bathroom, garden
I got this title by making false promises
and usurping this post with difficulty
I have to hand it over to you
I won't let anyone
grab it from me in-between
I'll go to any extent for that
You can't even understand this
Yuck!
The fact I made you councillor
will boomerang, da
Appa, do you think
something is going wrong?
Here, call this number
I am Maragadha Vel speaking
Sir, tell me
Did you send your thugs to my house?
Aiyo!
[humming]
[humming]
"Let it go"
[humming again]
No need to go
[humming]
Go, just go
[humming again]
Go to the police
She asked me to go to the cops?
Aiyo!
You have 2 more minutes
'Sir, you go in'
'Moron! We'll handle him'
'Tapas, he has to cough up
the truth in front of me'
Idiot! Who the hell sent you?
Hey! Cat got your tongue?
I came at your request
We've reached your location
I don't think so
'After we decide to
carry out a deed'
We shouldn't be scared
If you get scared
selfish interest will creep in
More than affecting others
It will destroy us
'Buddy, we will take it if needed'
'Let it be in the car'
- Hello
- I'm the Inspector from Pattipulam station
- Tell me
- 'Ex-MLA Maragadha Velu'
News from his beach house
about a gang of mercenaries
Who was your informant?
The police will arrive anytime now
Before they come here
If I get to know
who ordered you to kill me
I will make sure
you are in no danger
'If not, you will be-'
Hey! Only 2 of them have come
Check where the 3rd chap is
Okay, bro
Hey! Siva
We will let the police tackle them
No...no, don't
'Let's escape'
Hey!
Appa
Sir, come quick
- Who are you?
- Driver, sir
- Hurry up
- Let's scoot, pa
Come fast
Where are you going?
Get into the car
Go...go...go
- What happened?
- Not starting, sir
- Quick, start the car
- GO!
'GO'
'DRIVE!'
GO
- He is the one
- Hey! Stop
'Appa!'
'Appa'
Come here
Come, pa
I'll get you
'Jamuna, what do you want to do now?'
Come, pa
APPA!
Manickam
'Don't!'
Appa, get up
Manickam
Manickam, come away
Come
Appa
'Hey! Don't'
'Let him go'
'Manickam'
Manickam
Someone save us
Aiyo!
Start the car
Drive...go
DRIVE
Someone please save us
Oh gawd!!
Someone help!
- Hello?
- EX MLA Maragadha Vel's son
He is serious
Ambulance is on the way
Then the gang?
Let go
'All because of his snorting
we are in this mess'
'I told you so'
'No one paid heed'
Madhi had the powder in his pocket
How am I to blame?
Wonder if the cops caught
this young fellow?
- He won't, smart cookie
- Then let's kill her
Wait
You want to save them
'Her mind will keep changing'
Let's close her chapter
in Chengelpet forest
Bhaskar...Bhaskar, look at me
'Let him be
He knows his limit'
'He will be fine'
'Nag'anna'
'Be quiet'
We are anyway killing her
I'll do whatever before that
'I don't know what you'll do
But you have to nab that gang'
Sir...sir...sir
SIR!
Kottamedu checkpost
White Desire will be crossing
Block the road immediately
Hey! Chee!
'Won't you listen to me?'
'We'll deal with her in
the forest in Chengelpet forest'
Sir
'Let go of her'
'Chengelpet Govt Hospital'
Sir, they are only superficial cuts
I've spoken to the doctor
Manickam's life
is not in danger
The mercenaries called
by the MLA side
'It seems was to kill
some Revenue Department Officer'
'Then I think they dropped that idea'
MLA isn't linked with
today's incident, sir
Sir
Yes, sir
I played a double game
But not for the MLA
I did it for your son
Sir, out of the 4 mercenaries
3 of them are dead
Only one man is struggling for his life
2 of them in front of
Mr Maragadha Velu's house
Then 2 of them in the car
Total 4 men
Madam, if that car door
hadn't got unhinged
You'll be dead by now
It's a fact
You are the 2 eye witnesses
You must come
whenever called, okay?
Sir
Sir is calling you inside
- Doss
- Yes, sir?
You have any other doubt?
Looking at the turn of events
This looks like a political murder
In Alsa Mall, Egmore
There is a lawyer
He is the agent it seems
for these mercenaries
'Go and inquire'
2 thugs in front of the house
But there were 3 of them
in the back of the car
Wasn't there a short chap?
Then totally 5 of them
- No
- No...?
Only 2 people can share a trip
3 passengers means
it is a separate trip
There were only 2 passengers at the back
Only 2 passengers, huh?
1-2-3, no?
'Egmore, Alsa Mall complex, yes'
'Call our Party volunteers'
Your son will recover
He will be fine
Sit down, dear
What is your name?
Jamuna
What does your father do?
Driver
He isn't alive
He was killed
Hey! What are you doing?
Cake has been cut, right?
Why are you smearing it on his face?
Why yell at our children
when you are angry with me?
[muttering]
- What concern!
- What?
- Going to buy mutton?
- Yes
I'll buy it for you
- No one listens to me
- Akka
- I'll also go with her
- Go
I'm standing only for the councillor's post
Why get perturbed for that?
Schemes and facilities our area will get
from the Govt will happen through me
That's the job of a councillor
Otherwise I'm always a driver
We'll run our family
only with that money
Does that satisfy you?
Why are they threatening you
through phone calls then?
I'll handle that
Why do you get scared?
As long as you don't
threaten me, fine
Look at me and smile
Smile, dear
'Wait, bro'
'Kill him'
My dear-
'Spare him'
Don't kill him
My dear...my dear
My dear
Look at me, my dear
Look at me
Oh my gawd!
'Leave him alone'
'Let him be'
We went to the police station
They filed a complaint
stating my father had gone missing
We had only one option
to deal with our pain
To forget everything
To forget my father was killed
To forget my father existed
Pccht!
Amma
Amma?
Amma, what happened?
Amma
Don't worry, ma
You'll feel better after you sleep
Ma
You'll be okay, ma
Come, lie down, ma
Akka
They have called our father
and threatened him
Everyone knows that
But
Can't we do anything?
We will kill them
Slowly our house came back to normalcy
My brother got a job
as a fire engineer
He left for Bangalore
No girlfriend, bro
Akka, I've joined that gang now
That lawyer is the only agent
and link for their contracts
'I have sent you the details'
'Give it to our uncle'
Okay
You be safe
We have to fix a good date
for the 'wedding'
Who is the groom?
What was next?
Auspicious time was fixed
for the 'wedding'!
'Just follow my instructions carefully'
'Exactly 1km from where you are'
'When you cross the arch
of Vishnu temple in Thiruvadandhai'
He has to die the same way
he killed our father
You don't shoot
'GO!'
'Appa!'
Let's scoot
For common people like us
with no clout or authority
To forget whatever happens to us
We have to live quietly
closing our eyes, ears and mouth
Isn't that what
the man at the top thinks?
You are-
Is Selvam your father?
In the same ward
Let your son also contest the election
I will contest too
Let the people decide
the councillor of their choice
- I'll bash you
- Hey!
Apologize to him
I am sorry
This is a democratic nation
Anyone can contest
an election from anywhere
Our constitution has given
that right to everyone
Please contest for
the councillor's post
An auspicious date for
a 'wedding' has to be fixed
Who is the 'groom'?
[loud chatter]
Hey!
Hey!
Nagu
Do you wish to say anything else?
'Be quiet'
I said Esakki is an ordinary woman
like me and it is true
My father used to tell me
Esakki Amman's story is also true
Hey! What are you blabbering?
He is my father
Hey! Look at this
She is-
Belsath...Belsath
She has planned and tricked us
'You are the one who has
fallen into our web'
'I'll kill you in this car-'
Kill her
'We'll deal with her in the forest'
Cha!
Akka, we shouldn't miss
If it happens-
[Humming a song]
We shouldn't allow
our appa's killer escape, akka
I will handle it
- Akka?
- Go
- Akka
- GO!
'Excuse me'
'Sorry, sir
Your son-'
Doctor
Doctor!
You shouldn't die
You should live
Every day that you are alive
Happiness in life
Is not just wealth,
name, fame, position
But only love and this lesson
will be ticking in your heart
What happened?
Father of the deceased, no?
It's a severe stroke
Doctor, attend immediately
Sister, call the neurologist immediately
- Okay, doctor
- Quick!
'Did he reveal the killer?'
'No one else is responsible'
Then...motive?
That gang has disposed the body of a man
they killed in your son's industrial area
'Your son was a witness'
'They have tried to
cajole him to clam up'
'Then they panicked
and killed your son'
'Whose body is that?'
'I don't know, he died
before I could interrogate him'
Hey! Magizh?
Why are you crying?
Look at me
Don't cry like this
in front of our amma
Go, wash your face
First tie up your hair
Go
(What?)
(What happened?)
Ma, I am fine
It was just a minor accident, that's all
(Paining?)
Don't worry, ma
I have a surprise for you
Touch a finger
(I don't want to)
Ma, come on, touch
Okay
Hey!
Maaa!
(Magizh)
(How are you?)

'Driver Jamuna'
'Aren't you Jamuna's maternal uncle?'
'You have her best interest
at heart, right?'
'Then won't you advise her
for her own good?'
'Why should I advise her?'
'What wrong did Jamuna do?'
'It is all in your mind'
'You ask her directly'
Typical bailiff answer!
I thought you watch
only court proceedings happily
- Same attitude to family too
- Aunt
Uncle, don't move the chair
Amma will walk
'Lift your leg and walk, ma'
'You can do it'
'Pccht!'
'Jamuna, I agree the photos make her cry
and so you removed your appa's photos'
'What can you do about her memories
embedded in your amma's heart?'
'Of course I can't do anything'
Ma
Uncle, take her inside
Aunt, what are you mad about now?
I've told you like a broken record
You refuse to have an open mind
Nowadays a whole new avenue has
opened up for women professionally
Why should you reject all that
and take up a job as driver?
Listen to me, Jamuna
Quit this driver's job
I don't like it
- Aunt, wasn't my dad a driver?
- He's a man!
You are a girl
You'll have a hard time in life
if you stick to this job
I don't agree with you, aunt
Your younger brother got a job
in Bangalore as an engineer
'He has mortgaged the house
and helped himself to the cash'
'If only your dad had been sensible
he wouldn't have died'
'If you were sensible too
you wouldn't be so stubborn'
- Aunt
- 'Get this into your head'
'If you have to settle down well in life'
...first you should be selfish
You won't understand
anything I tell you now, aunt
Pcccht!
Did your brother call you?
He spoke to me yesterday
Don't talk to him hereafter
Amma
Shall we both go out this evening
as soon as I'm back from work?
(no need)
In the tip of my 3 fingers
One is 'beach'
Another is 'park'
(God)
(to temple)
Whatever happens at home
you won't let go of your God!
(You apply on your forehead too)
This comforts you
You believe in God
I have many questions unanswered
Just let me be
'Philomena has come'
'I'm trusting her with you'
Take good care of her
- My grand daughter's wedding, sir
- Please do the needful, sir
[overlap of voices]
[indistinct chatter]
My husband gets sloshed
and hits me daily, sir
- I can't take this torture anymore
- No, sir, she is lying
I'll beat you to a pulp
if you don't reform
'Take good care of your wife'
- Bro
- Escort her home safely
Thank you, sir
Go home without any worry
I'm there for you
- Collected all the petitions?
- Yes, sir
- Keep it inside
- Yes, sir
Listen, brother
Arul
- Arul
- Sir?
- Drink buttermilk
- It's okay, sir
I'll water the plants
till you come
- It's alright, sir
- Go, I say
I can do this
Why did you gulp it
in one go like that?
- It's okay, sir
- Why rush like this?
It's alright
Drink it up
How many tender coconuts
do you sell per day?
'On Sundays I'll get Rs 500'
'Must be tough
making ends meet?'
'What to do?
Such is life'
The 'groom-target' is at home
The procession will
pass by this street
So can we conduct the 'wedding'
at the auspicious time we've chosen?
Pccht!
'What the eff are you doing?'
'Why did you bang the car
in the bus stand?'
'If you claw my face
while driving'
'That will be your fate!'
'Why do you behave like blockheads?'
- 'How dare you!
- Let go, bro'
- Yes, Bhaskar?
- Where are you, bro?
'Near Walajabad'
Are you caught
in a scuffle with Madhi?
This idiot is being so playful
I told you not to add
a bike chain-thief with us in our gang
Did you listen to me?
Did you read today's newspaper or not?
Situation isn't too good here
No cop should sniff us out
like scent hounds, bro
We have taken the cash
We must finish the wedding
and leave Chennai without a whisper!
I'll leave him behind here
- Otherwise we'll get caught
- 'He's a smart cookie, I say'
- Pccht!
- Okay, I'll talk to him'
Belsath doesn't have
any powder on him, right?
No, I checked thoroughly
If he takes a snort
then no one can control him, bro
He'll turn into a beast
He didn't snort a line
'Only intake is booze'
He's of no use to us
if he doesn't booze
Waste
- I hope you know that
- 'I know'
You should get here
within an hour
He wants us to reach in 1 hour
How will we go now, huh?
Walajabad to Chengalpattu.
Chengalpattu via Thiruporur to Devaneri
70 km on the whole
Bro, why don't the three of us...
...make a great escape?
Wasted fellow!
Just for fun, bro
He doesn't know English
Jolly time, bro
Give me your phone
- Give it to me, bro
- Why?
What happened to your phone?
Display screen cracked
I left it in my room
If you keep hugging your phone
all night, serves you right!
Listen, it's getting late
Let go of me
I'll call a cab
Who, man?
Your friend?
No one should know
about the wedding, okay?
Cab is not a person, bro
It's call taxi, bro
Thanks, bro
Jamuna
You had called me?
How is your mother?
When she walked this morning
she couldn't turn by herself
When she was practising with the ball
She missed twice
This is a first time for her, doctor
'She doesn't have
any complications, Jamuna'
'Sometimes this may happen'
'Because her body has become stiff'
'This is a regular symptom
of Parkinson's disease'
'But she has to practice
without missing the routine'
I am scared, doctor
Nothing should happen to amma
I have asked Philomena to observe
your amma the whole day
'Don't worry, Jamuna'
Okay, doctor
Thank you
'What is this, man?'
'Don't know which car
will fall into our hands'
- Thanks, bro
- Correct cash?
Bro
Got 1 car
What now?
I head a sound and
now the car has disappeared?
You stared at the screen, eh?
That's why sensor got cut
Turn the other side, bro
Car is almost here
We are the ones who called you
Hello?
Where do you have to get dropped?
'Devaneri, near ECR'
Long distance
Please cancel the trip
It is very easy
to trick a female
Don't miss this car
Go
Hey!
I told you I can't opt for a long trip
'Please cancel it'
Please, it's really urgent
Already we are late
'Actually'
'On the way, the brake failed'
'I crashed into that bus stop'
We tried to set right
the damage to the car
But we failed
I'm also a car driver
We are the caterers for a wedding
Already our group has gone ahead
We are late as it is
- Owner will give us a shelling
- 'Hey! Madhi'
Got to shift this
pile of banana leaves
- Tell her
- 'Wait, brother
Please sister.
Hey!
Do you know anyone in this gang?
No, sir
Bro?
'Murders by mercenaries on the rise'
'Special task force under
Asst Commissioner Subash'
We get paid for this too, huh?
Lower your hands
Bro, zoom that frame
Rewind and zoom
Do you know that chap in a lungi?
I don't know, sir
Aren't you this Murthy?
No, sir
Sir, he is related to my wife
He visits us whenever
he comes from Palayamkottai
Other than that,
I have no connection with him, sir
Even now he's staying
in Kancheepuram
Hey! Tell me his current mobile #
Hey! I want his number
95-66-03
93-43, sir
- Hello?
- Nagu'na, where are you?
We are coming in a cup
'What...cup?'
I told you we have rented a taxi
Brainless or what?
Why did you take a public car?
Don't you have any sense?
I told you things are not going right
This young chap gave that idea-
Did your brain rust too?
'Choosing a call taxi'
'If we get into a mess
you'll get it from me'
Forget it
'The cops will be on a witch hunt'
- 'You'll count bars-'
- Don't get hyper
I'll make sure we have no hassles
Why have you come here?
We'll pick up another passenger here
Pick up, huh?
Ask her to halt
Tell her to stop now
'Stop now, madam'
'Will you stop now or not?'
'Stop'
'What is it?'
We booked this ride
Listen!
No one else should get into this car
Sir, you have opted for a share trip
Sharing, huh?
No
You can check if you like
Yes, she's right, bro
Option has changed
Damn you!
[honking]
[humming a rap song]
[honking]
- Excuse me
- Are you mad or what?
Your car has come to
take you to Kilpauk hospital
- Oh!
- Go
'I am sorry'
'Why should I explain to this female?
I'll talk to the passenger'
'Hey!'
'Listen to me'
[humming]
'Hello...hello?'
- 'Look outside'
- Hahn?
Over there
- Hahn?
- Take another car
We need to go urgently
Why should I take another cab?
It's urgent for me too
[humming]
He has to get down on the way
It won't take longer
or be a detour to drop him
'Lower the glass, man'
Bro, Bhaskar anna is calling, get in
He will get stressed out
Bhaskar, I told you
there won't be any hassles
Hello?
[humming]
Bloody fellow!
How dare you trick me!
'He pushed me'
Cancel appa's programs, all of them
Okay, bro
Don't take appa anywhere outside
without my permission
Okay, anna
I'll handle it
Tapas, appa should be safe
I'll take care, I can
assure you he'll be safe
Bhaskar
Bhaskar, he is Tapas
He knows me very well
Chennai gang
That means the news has leaked
- Appa?
- What's the problem?
It's risky
No need today
Pccht! Shut your gob
Bhaskar, anyway call and check
Listen to me
There are many relatives just like us
all over the groom's house
Let me know if you want
the 'wedding' today?
Should not postpone
a politician's 'wedding'
Situation will present itself
Wait till then
'Bhaskar, what's the lawyer saying?'
Hari Krishna told me
It must be true, pa
I am your son
Believe me, pa
Make me believe you
[humming]
Good luck!
Hahn?
I said 'good luck'
For what?
You are a music director
You are going for
a song composing session
How strange!
No one in the film industry knows
We haven't announced it
How do you know?
- Esakki told me
- Hahn?
Esakki
She's sitting here
She told me
Hello?
I'm being serious, sir
You are Anirudh's guitarist
You've got a chance
to be a music director
Your director is waiting in Neelankarai
You are going for
a song composing session
If you don't believe me
You can ask Her yourself
Anirudh himself doesn't know!
I was just kidding, sir
You booked this cab
from your mobile
So I have your mobile # in my phone
I have True Caller app in my phone
That's okay, but the director
waiting in Neelankarai?
Do you need a PhD
to figure this out?
Just paying keen attention is enough
Half the technicians in film industry
have shifted to ECR side
I take 3 trips a week
in this direction
Besides all that, a person's name
and phone number is all one needs
We can get all his details, A to Z
She is just fibbing
Excuse me
- Greetings, sir
- Hey! Bless you
Sit down
How do you know
someone is out to kill me?
Listen to MLA Karthikeyan's message
'Yov! Politics is a war, man'
'3 consecutive times in
Maragadha Velu's constituency'
'I used money power and defeated him
as Member of the Legislative Assembly'
But people's favorite
is Maragadha Velu
His son Manickam wanted to enter politics
Maragadha Velu was not inclined
to let his son enter this dirty world
But his son Manickam is very smart
He stood as an independent candidate
and won the Corporation election
He became a councillor
Even if Maragadha Velu wants to
he can't hold his son back now
His party members will support him
But despite all this, Maragadha Vel
won't make his son contest in this election
Only he will contest
He will win and become a minister
We won't be able to do a damn thing
In the coming election
if Maragadha Vel is not around
And if his son contests
it will be favorable to us
Do you get what I am implying?
If I am not alive
My son will take my place
He can be easily defeated
You claim that's why Karthikeyan
is hatching this plan, huh?
But how did you get this voice recording?
The driver working in
MLA Karthikeyan's house
And the cook in that household
They are my spies
Why are you playing with their lives?
He is head deep in corruption
That's how his brain will work
But why should I think
he is out to murder me?
Look, I am not here for the name, fame,
position or orchestrate political ploys
I am here to serve my people
If I win and occupy a seat in
the Parliament, I'll speak for the people
These statistics or Opposition
can't change that course of action
I told you in the club last night
I have no further information
Don't call during the day
It's risky, bro
You were sloshed last night
That's why I'm calling you
when you are sober, tell me
Some obituary posters
need to be stuck it seems
They wanted a reliable gang
'I gave them the number
Please ensure our leader is safe'
We need more men
Call them here immediately
Excuse me
[loudly conducting an orchestra]
Thriller genre
Theme is scary
That tune will terrify
the listener always
Weren't you scared?
Terrifying?
Nice
- Jamuna?
- What, uncle?
My car will all of a sudden get stuck
I won't be able to start it at all
I'll be so stressed out
When I'm racking my head what to do
your father's car will come to my rescue
Today it is you
Looking at the car
is like seeing your appa
- Do you want diesel, uncle?
- Yes, dear
I tried pumping
but it isn't starting
Your father will always
stock extra diesel in the car
I have diesel even now, uncle
It is my appa's car, right?
Here
Look here
Hardly any traffic on a Sunday
We can still make it, sir
Give it, dear
Jamuna
Uncle
Airport ride
Already late
I'll transfer the amount
through Googlepay, okay?
Thanks, dear
We are late for the wedding
Aren't you coming?
You are bleeding?
Nothing serious
When I opened the boot, edge of
some sharp steel scratched me
Manickam
Don't obsess about your father
Call me if there's any issue
I'm close by
- I'll take leave, sir
- Take care
How can I help my leader?
Am I your leader?
I address Maragadha Vel only as 'sir'
But you are the one
I call 'leader'
Wow! You'll make it big in politics
I should measure my words with you
Instead of throwing
this paper out
You can confess you aren't
part of the wedding group!
'Murders by mercenaries on the rise'
Oh gawd!
'Murders by mercenaries on the rise'
Hahn?
'Special task force under
Asst Commissioner Subash'
Crime
Baaaaaaaaaaaaang!
Tring...tring...tring!
BAAAAAAAANG!
WHAT?
Rahim?
- What, man?
- I think it is risky
- I can't do it
- You took the cash, no?
Tapas is standing there
- Let's scoot
- Can we?
'Hey! Rahim'
Hello, Tapas anna
We are dead meat now
- Are you armed?
- It will boomerang
- What brings you here?
- Came regarding a finance job
- Nothing else, no?
- No, bro
I have a job
Want to take it up?
- What should we do?
- Just an escort job
You will get bulk payment
'I am hungry
I'll eat and be back'
- Can do, bro
- Only 2 of you?
3 more are on the way
Ask them to come here straight, okay?
Now I know why
the lawyer asked us to wait
I don't get it
- Philomi
- Akka?
1 minute, hold
I'll give the phone to the doctor
'Jamuna, amma's stiffness is getting worse'
'Going by her symptoms, I think
she has deteriorated to the next stage'
As far as possible, we must admit her
in the hospital as early as tomorrow
'With continuous therapy
she will definitely improve'
'Jamuna, don't worry'
'Okay, doctor'
'We can discuss it
when you get back'
'Akka, amma wants to see you'
Switch to video call
- Move
- Car took a dizzy turn
(Don't worry)
(I am really fine)
(Attend to your work)
Hey! Look
If she wants to cry
ask her to go home and cry
Sorry
You said you checked his pocket
and he didn't have any powder
I checked, bro
There wasn't any powder on him
Why didn't you check his in pocket?
Let him be, he knows his limit
Nothing will go wrong
Situation highly risky
Ask them to hurry up
Yes, man
Sir, tea
- Give it to sir
- Sir?
For you
Why penalise your stomach
because you are stressed?
Waste of tracking them
That Palayamkottai gang
is travelling in a car now
In a call taxi
The driver is a girl
If only we are given
the force we are asking
I can lock this gang easily
But they are delaying it
The delay is because of
the retired Inspector General
I feel he is behind this case
Don't we know?
His only son and
daughter-in-law were killed
But how can he interfere
because of that?
He has clout within the department
and in political circles
We have to wait
till we get our back up
- We will have more casualties
- Let them die
But we won't have time
to think about it
We would've moved on
to the next case by then
- Hello?
- 'I am Subash'
'Asst commissioner of police'
Tell me
'Your passengers are mercenary killers'
'You don't worry'
'We have your car completely
under our surveillance'
'Talk to me as if you are
talking to someone else'
Okay, doctor
'But I am scared'
My mother has no one else, doctor
Similarly I have
only her in my life
I hope you understand, doctor
- 'Tell me'
- Somehow set it right, doctor
I trust you completely
Nothing dangerous should happen, please
'Don't get emotional
You will be fine'
'We've locked the road,
ahead and behind for 3 km'
'Your car is under our control now'
'Move the barricade and block'
'Quick!'
'Buckle up'
Come, shift it here
What should I do, doctor?
Are the accused harmed?
Yes, doctor
What kind?
I don't know how to explain, doctor
Pistol, gun, anything like that?
Nothing of that sort, doctor
Sickle or knife?
Yes, doctor
You are right
'Nothing else'
Tell me what I should do
'Just follow my instructions carefully'
'Exactly 1km from where you are'
'When you cross the arch
of Vishnu temple in Thiruvadandhai'
'Beach View is on the left'
Stop the car as if you are stuck
- Hey!
- 'Pretend the car has stalled'
'Let the gang be seated in the car'
'Step out for 5 minutes'
'Open the bonnet and
pretend you are trying to repair'
'But they shouldn't suspect you'
We'll handle the gang in that time gap
IG is asking you to change the plan
- Sir
- Huh?
What did your 'doctor' tell you?
He didn't say anything else
He did
Yes
But I was so scared
I didn't hear a single word
Let go
Let go of me
Let go
Don't strangle me
- 'Ask him to let her go, bro
- Now she'll cough up the facts'
Let go...let go of me
Let go
Let go of my throat
Jamuna, drive, my dear
'You are doing a great job'
'Watch out'
LET GO!
Let me go
LET GO
'Lorry...lorry
Let go of her, bro'
'Lorry, bro'
'Fast...fast'
Go...go faster
'Drink water'
Hey!
What you experienced just now
That is 'fear'!
If you think you can escape from us
It will be only for today
We can barge into your house tomorrow
If we do so
No one will be alive in your house
Only the house will remain
as brick and mortar
'When we decide to kill a man'
The police can't always save our target
Do you know why I spared your life now?
You are a 'worth' driver
Your car has to go in the route I specify
Understand?
'Climb down carefully'
'Slow down...slow down'
- 'Go slow
- Send the vehicles'
- 'Quick!
- Go...go...go'
'Send the 2-wheelers'
'Just follow my orders, Subash'
Okay, received
'Don't stop'
'Keep moving'
'Go...go...keep going'
What is the IG saying?
Asking me to handle it as
a 'hit & run' case
How's that possible?
We notice the car
as we are driving casually
You get down and
interrogate the driver
At the same time I find
the weapons in the boot
Take the group from the car in our jeep
and we interrogate them formally
At that time, the backup force
will reach the spot
IG wants us to touch our nose
indirectly over our head
You see our nose is a scenthound!
Sir, as far as our case goes
Our revolver is just a puppet
following his orders, sir
'Which route should I take now?'
'Reverse and take the Kovalam route'
'Don't talk like a mad fellow'
- 'Hey!
- Police will be waiting if we reverse'
'Dimwitted dunce
Police will be waiting ahead too'
'You want us to get caught, eh?'
Then how will we go?
Whatever plan the police have hatched
According to their bloody plan
Take the same route
Drive past the arch
at Thiruvidandhai temple
Let the car halt at Beach View
Let the driver get down
She will open the bonnet
and check why the car has stalled
The next move after that
I will let you know
Drive
Oh God!
'Gurumurthy, cab position?'
Car on position, sir
- 'Shakthi?'
- Sir, watching
Move closer, when the jeep
closes in on the cab
Okay, sir
That Asst Commissioner of Police
is a bit of a hyper case
Must watch him carefully
Okay, sir
I'll ensure nothing goes amiss, sir
We were looking for
a 'Hit & run' case, right?
It's this car
Hello! You there
Show me your RC book
'Show your Trip Log?'
Where were you last night
from 10:00 to 11:00 p.m?
- Near Porur, sir
- Sir, look inside
Where are the 'accused' passengers?
He's the only passenger
in this trip, sir
Where did the passengers
seated at the back get down?
I am the only passenger, sir
We also know all the ploys
these criminals resort to
Don't risk your life
trying to help them
Sir, in this particular trip
I didn't take any accused
He is the only passenger, sir
Sir, if I don't say this
they have threatened to kill me
My mother stays alone
and she is a patient, sir
- Save me someho-
- Hey!
Didn't you speak clearly on the phone?
Muttering under your breath now
- Tell me where they are now
- I don't understand what you want, sir
He is the only passenger
I didn't take any other accused
I don't know what will happen next
I am very scared, sir
- Sir, help me
- Acting smart, eh?
I'll file a case and
take you into custody
Sir, call and inform your IG
Okay, sir
Let the patrol vehicles
stick to their rounds
I want that gang nabbed
No, sir
Car covered as per our plan
But the gang isn't in the car, sir
'Not at all, sir'
'We followed your orders
and executed it correctly'
'We don't know
how they escaped, sir'
- What, madam?
- Hey!
'Hey! Drop your gun
and sit down right there'
'Don't die'
Sir, accused has a gun too
Whatever happens at that spot
nothing should happen to that gang
Sir, should the police stand with
hands folded when lives are at stake?
Hey!
Arrest them
Make them talk
Every word they utter is important
'Nothing else should happen beyond that'
Stop the car
Music director
Get up and sit properly
Play music
Sing song
[humming in a scared tone]
Music included
You think the person who paid us
for the 'wedding' is in this house?
[irrelevant chatter]
I told you right in the beginning
to check if Belsath has powder on him
We are in a fix!
The cops will be
patrolling all over
We will definitely get caught
Okay, just tell me
what we should do now
There's no problem here
We can 'tie the noose-thread'
at the given time for the wedding
But the headaches are
the driver and her passenger
Witness
Then we will be nailed, bro
Fine, I'll handle them
- Get down
- Belsath, Bhaskar called
We won't squeal to the police
Please let us go
Aren't we obeying your instructions?
Belsath 'na
The gunshot will be heard, bro
'Instead of that'
Why is my mind changing now?
Till we cross Chennai
Let her be with us
How long will it take to reach Devaneri?
Another 10 minutes
Make us reach in 5 minutes
5 min-
How can we reach in 5 minutes?
[humming]
Didn't he pay you
to take another cab?
Can't you go faster than this?
If you slow down
from the present speed
Your head will get the same knock
your passenger just now got!
If you don't take us in 5 minutes flat
My mind will get re-set again!
'Why do you get angry, dear?'
'Your appa's advice is always
for the good of everyone'
'Don't you know that?'
'You were concerned of the welfare
of everyone in our neighborhood, pa
Did you ever think of us, pa?
Whom else do we have
other than you, pa?
Tell me if I am right or not?
Because of men like you
My father died
Who is your father?
Do you have a photo?
For all you know,
we may have killed your father
I know how he died
I didn't mean that
If a family member dies
That family will be shattered
How are you able to kill a person
for the sake of money?
Ask the same question
to your guardian deity 'Esakki'
She is also just like me
An ordinary woman
'Clear the road
Ambulance is leaving'
'Okay, sir'
You are hiding something from me
I don't understand your plan
By bending this case
to your whims and fancies
I don't know how many
more lives will be lost
I can't cooperate any longer
without knowing the truth
Simple
The man who killed my son
should meet the same fate
I need this gang alive
for me to fulfil my desire
By nabbing the agent
behind this gang
I need to know who ordered
my son to be killed
I want to kill him
with this same gang
After they kill him
we must 'encounter' this gang
I am using your uniform
If you can't comply
let me know
I can do this with the help
of some other officer
"Shall I dance in your eyes anew?
Whatever you ask, shall I give you?"
"Shall I enter your heart so true?
You are my heart, my beau"
"Shall I caress your cheeks?"
[song from 'All In All Azhagu Raja']
Belsath, shall I tell you something funny?
He is hosting us to his Last Supper
when we are his killers!
Maragadha Vel is truly a gentleman!
Suddenly turning over a new leaf?
Are you having second thoughts?
We can always redeem our sins
with a repentance ritual!
If we don't have targets like this
our pockets won't get lined!
'Listen, Jamuna
You are standing in one spot'
'A person falls down
right in front of our eyes'
What will you do?
Shouldn't we immediately
extend a helping hand?
It's the same with life, my dear
We don't have to go in search
of someone to be of help
But aren't we responsible too
for what's happening around us?
You may not realize the effect
of your father's words today
But you'll understand one day
'Police Station
Pattipulam'
- Huh?
- Button?
Go to the police
Huh?
Tell the cops
Hey!
What did you do?
Stop the car
Will you stop or not?
I couldn't control the car in that speed
The door wasn't shut properly
I know
Your mind is changing
Sir, no one can get into your house
when we are here to guard you
- Yes, sir
- Hey! Keep quiet
'Appa, what is the matter?'
Get that black note pad
'Sir, your coffee'
- Hey! Why didn't you tell?
- Stop it
Will he do this deliberately?
I'll wipe it clean, sir
I'll clean it myself
Only then he will reform
You go
In the same constituency
I was MLA for 3 terms
Karthikeyan has occupied my seat today
How?
Power of money
That's his strength
But he still wants to kill me
Why?
People's good opinion of me
That's my strength
Why did I make everyone believe
I dislike you entering politics?
I made you fight with me
Made you drift away from me
I made you contest
in the councillor election
And I made you win
Tell me why?
People should hold you in high esteem
just like they do so with me
Who are these people?
Not someone living
in a remote village
Those people include our employees
in the kitchen, bathroom, garden
I got this title by making false promises
and usurping this post with difficulty
I have to hand it over to you
I won't let anyone
grab it from me in-between
I'll go to any extent for that
You can't even understand this
Yuck!
The fact I made you councillor
will boomerang, da
Appa, do you think
something is going wrong?
Here, call this number
I am Maragadha Vel speaking
Sir, tell me
Did you send your thugs to my house?
Aiyo!
[humming]
[humming]
"Let it go"
[humming again]
No need to go
[humming]
Go, just go
[humming again]
Go to the police
She asked me to go to the cops?
Aiyo!
You have 2 more minutes
'Sir, you go in'
'Moron! We'll handle him'
'Tapas, he has to cough up
the truth in front of me'
Idiot! Who the hell sent you?
Hey! Cat got your tongue?
I came at your request
We've reached your location
I don't think so
'After we decide to
carry out a deed'
We shouldn't be scared
If you get scared
selfish interest will creep in
More than affecting others
It will destroy us
'Buddy, we will take it if needed'
'Let it be in the car'
- Hello
- I'm the Inspector from Pattipulam station
- Tell me
- 'Ex-MLA Maragadha Velu'
News from his beach house
about a gang of mercenaries
Who was your informant?
The police will arrive anytime now
Before they come here
If I get to know
who ordered you to kill me
I will make sure
you are in no danger
'If not, you will be-'
Hey! Only 2 of them have come
Check where the 3rd chap is
Okay, bro
Hey! Siva
We will let the police tackle them
No...no, don't
'Let's escape'
Hey!
Appa
Sir, come quick
- Who are you?
- Driver, sir
- Hurry up
- Let's scoot, pa
Come fast
Where are you going?
Get into the car
Go...go...go
- What happened?
- Not starting, sir
- Quick, start the car
- GO!
'GO'
'DRIVE!'
GO
- He is the one
- Hey! Stop
'Appa!'
'Appa'
Come here
Come, pa
I'll get you
'Jamuna, what do you want to do now?'
Come, pa
APPA!
Manickam
'Don't!'
Appa, get up
Manickam
Manickam, come away
Come
Appa
'Hey! Don't'
'Let him go'
'Manickam'
Manickam
Someone save us
Aiyo!
Start the car
Drive...go
DRIVE
Someone please save us
Oh gawd!!
Someone help!
- Hello?
- EX MLA Maragadha Vel's son
He is serious
Ambulance is on the way
Then the gang?
Let go
'All because of his snorting
we are in this mess'
'I told you so'
'No one paid heed'
Madhi had the powder in his pocket
How am I to blame?
Wonder if the cops caught
this young fellow?
- He won't, smart cookie
- Then let's kill her
Wait
You want to save them
'Her mind will keep changing'
Let's close her chapter
in Chengelpet forest
Bhaskar...Bhaskar, look at me
'Let him be
He knows his limit'
'He will be fine'
'Nag'anna'
'Be quiet'
We are anyway killing her
I'll do whatever before that
'I don't know what you'll do
But you have to nab that gang'
Sir...sir...sir
SIR!
Kottamedu checkpost
White Desire will be crossing
Block the road immediately
Hey! Chee!
'Won't you listen to me?'
'We'll deal with her in
the forest in Chengelpet forest'
Sir
'Let go of her'
'Chengelpet Govt Hospital'
Sir, they are only superficial cuts
I've spoken to the doctor
Manickam's life
is not in danger
The mercenaries called
by the MLA side
'It seems was to kill
some Revenue Department Officer'
'Then I think they dropped that idea'
MLA isn't linked with
today's incident, sir
Sir
Yes, sir
I played a double game
But not for the MLA
I did it for your son
Sir, out of the 4 mercenaries
3 of them are dead
Only one man is struggling for his life
2 of them in front of
Mr Maragadha Velu's house
Then 2 of them in the car
Total 4 men
Madam, if that car door
hadn't got unhinged
You'll be dead by now
It's a fact
You are the 2 eye witnesses
You must come
whenever called, okay?
Sir
Sir is calling you inside
- Doss
- Yes, sir?
You have any other doubt?
Looking at the turn of events
This looks like a political murder
In Alsa Mall, Egmore
There is a lawyer
He is the agent it seems
for these mercenaries
'Go and inquire'
2 thugs in front of the house
But there were 3 of them
in the back of the car
Wasn't there a short chap?
Then totally 5 of them
- No
- No...?
Only 2 people can share a trip
3 passengers means
it is a separate trip
There were only 2 passengers at the back
Only 2 passengers, huh?
1-2-3, no?
'Egmore, Alsa Mall complex, yes'
'Call our Party volunteers'
Your son will recover
He will be fine
Sit down, dear
What is your name?
Jamuna
What does your father do?
Driver
He isn't alive
He was killed
Hey! What are you doing?
Cake has been cut, right?
Why are you smearing it on his face?
Why yell at our children
when you are angry with me?
[muttering]
- What concern!
- What?
- Going to buy mutton?
- Yes
I'll buy it for you
- No one listens to me
- Akka
- I'll also go with her
- Go
I'm standing only for the councillor's post
Why get perturbed for that?
Schemes and facilities our area will get
from the Govt will happen through me
That's the job of a councillor
Otherwise I'm always a driver
We'll run our family
only with that money
Does that satisfy you?
Why are they threatening you
through phone calls then?
I'll handle that
Why do you get scared?
As long as you don't
threaten me, fine
Look at me and smile
Smile, dear
'Wait, bro'
'Kill him'
My dear-
'Spare him'
Don't kill him
My dear...my dear
My dear
Look at me, my dear
Look at me
Oh my gawd!
'Leave him alone'
'Let him be'
We went to the police station
They filed a complaint
stating my father had gone missing
We had only one option
to deal with our pain
To forget everything
To forget my father was killed
To forget my father existed
Pccht!
Amma
Amma?
Amma, what happened?
Amma
Don't worry, ma
You'll feel better after you sleep
Ma
You'll be okay, ma
Come, lie down, ma
Akka
They have called our father
and threatened him
Everyone knows that
But
Can't we do anything?
We will kill them
Slowly our house came back to normalcy
My brother got a job
as a fire engineer
He left for Bangalore
No girlfriend, bro
Akka, I've joined that gang now
That lawyer is the only agent
and link for their contracts
'I have sent you the details'
'Give it to our uncle'
Okay
You be safe
We have to fix a good date
for the 'wedding'
Who is the groom?
What was next?
Auspicious time was fixed
for the 'wedding'!
'Just follow my instructions carefully'
'Exactly 1km from where you are'
'When you cross the arch
of Vishnu temple in Thiruvadandhai'
He has to die the same way
he killed our father
You don't shoot
'GO!'
'Appa!'
Let's scoot
For common people like us
with no clout or authority
To forget whatever happens to us
We have to live quietly
closing our eyes, ears and mouth
Isn't that what
the man at the top thinks?
You are-
Is Selvam your father?
In the same ward
Let your son also contest the election
I will contest too
Let the people decide
the councillor of their choice
- I'll bash you
- Hey!
Apologize to him
I am sorry
This is a democratic nation
Anyone can contest
an election from anywhere
Our constitution has given
that right to everyone
Please contest for
the councillor's post
An auspicious date for
a 'wedding' has to be fixed
Who is the 'groom'?
[loud chatter]
Hey!
Hey!
Nagu
Do you wish to say anything else?
'Be quiet'
I said Esakki is an ordinary woman
like me and it is true
My father used to tell me
Esakki Amman's story is also true
Hey! What are you blabbering?
He is my father
Hey! Look at this
She is-
Belsath...Belsath
She has planned and tricked us
'You are the one who has
fallen into our web'
'I'll kill you in this car-'
Kill her
'We'll deal with her in the forest'
Cha!
Akka, we shouldn't miss
If it happens-
[Humming a song]
We shouldn't allow
our appa's killer escape, akka
I will handle it
- Akka?
- Go
- Akka
- GO!
'Excuse me'
'Sorry, sir
Your son-'
Doctor
Doctor!
You shouldn't die
You should live
Every day that you are alive
Happiness in life
Is not just wealth,
name, fame, position
But only love and this lesson
will be ticking in your heart
What happened?
Father of the deceased, no?
It's a severe stroke
Doctor, attend immediately
Sister, call the neurologist immediately
- Okay, doctor
- Quick!
'Did he reveal the killer?'
'No one else is responsible'
Then...motive?
That gang has disposed the body of a man
they killed in your son's industrial area
'Your son was a witness'
'They have tried to
cajole him to clam up'
'Then they panicked
and killed your son'
'Whose body is that?'
'I don't know, he died
before I could interrogate him'
Hey! Magizh?
Why are you crying?
Look at me
Don't cry like this
in front of our amma
Go, wash your face
First tie up your hair
Go
(What?)
(What happened?)
Ma, I am fine
It was just a minor accident, that's all
(Paining?)
Don't worry, ma
I have a surprise for you
Touch a finger
(I don't want to)
Ma, come on, touch
Okay
Hey!
Maaa!
(Magizh)
(How are you?)
(How are you?)

"I will sing in praise of beauty
with my amateur attempts at poetry"
"I will continue to be
a toddler playing innocently"
"I will rewind to prattling like a baby
with memories of a sweet lullaby"
"24 hours daily"
"Why do I need the world outside
with the most loving family by my side?"
"That is the sole reason for me
to elevate my inner beauty"
"A penance of happiness"
"Mind chattering continuous"
"Rain drizzles drop by drop dewy
We shall be like clouds; you and me"
"Sounds various
turn melodious"
"Our lives too, my precious"
"A thrill of joy in this bond so perfect
Happier still, living life to the fullest"
"In the lap of contentment, love I find
Resonating in heart and mind"
"In my heart 100 birds or more fly
forgetting hunger, touch the sky"
"When I am so blessed
why should I ever be depressed?"
"A penance of happiness"
"Mind chattering continuous"
"Pleasures in life simple"
"Multiple boons ample"
"I will sing in praise of beauty
with my amateur attempts at poetry"
"24 hours daily"
"Why do I need the world outside
with the most loving family by my side?"
"That is the sole reason for me
to elevate my inner beauty"
"Rain drizzles drop by drop dewy
We shall be like clouds; you and me"
"Sounds various
turn melodious"
"Our lives too, my precious"
