'The headlines'
'The mysterious murders that took
place in past few days in Nilagiri...'
'had created a panic
all over that place'
'Due to similarities
in these murders...'
'the police doubt that this could
be done by a mystery serial killer'
'Since one of the murder victims was
Chinna, son of Forest Minister Mariappan'
'it had further spread fear
and panic amongst people'
"I was wandering around..."
"I was wandering around..."
"I was searching in the darkness"
"I'm losing myself as I think
about you round the clock"
I thought you'd have winded up
for the day and left
The whole town is in fear and
everyone's staying inside
Where are you guys off to?
"I'm losing myself as I think
about you round the clock"
Today's my birthday...
Where's my chocolate?
We must fear when we are in the city.
What's there to fear in forest?
Do you think that
killer won't come here?
"When you aren't around, every moment
I eagerly wait for you to show up"
No girl must face the fate of Gowri.
Imagine if you were in Gowri's place.
I can't even imagine.
Come, let's leave.
We just reached here.
I feel strange. Come, let's leave
Who was that, Ashok?
Idiots!
You okay?
Ashok...
is it the same vehicle?
Whose car is it?
Hello!
Ashok, I don't have a
good feeling about this
Let's make a U-turn and leave
We have a destination only this way
Just get down. I'll check
Leena!
Leena!
Leena...
Who are you?
No!
Let go of me!
Keep quiet if you want to live!
Keep quiet if you want to live!
That's all? Anything else?
VEZHAM
(MAMMOTH)
Our company has grown to be one of the
most dependable amongst companies...
who provide quality check
and assurance services...
to some of the major network
providers in this country
It gives me immense pleasure
to let you guys know that...
yet another major network provider...
is entering into a tie up with us
It's an honour to have your brand
in our list of clientele, sir
Thank you
Thank you
Look he's hiding behind the tree
-Can't you see?
-Uncle, that's me!
Don't end up shooting me
-Oh yeah!
-Stop! Look a guy is running towards us
Then shoot!
-Someone's behind you!
-Behind me?
-Look into the mobile!
-Oh, you mean in mobile?
Shoot! At least finish
the game and then leave
Excuse me, you were
killed 10 minutes ago
-Who are you still playing with?
-Fine, we'll start fresh after eating
Well, if you were my roomate instead of
you brother-in-law, it'd have been fun
-I am ready
-You're ready?
Shall I tell her?
-What's wrong with my brother?
-Oh God! Nothing
Just that he's a unique humna being
Watch when he arrives. You'll feel as if
there's a world war out side the house
He seals the whole house. Not
even a fly or mosquito can enter
And if he smiles someday,
definitely it'll rain that day
You're a getting a miss call?
-Who's that?
-Divya
-And who's she?
-Girlfriend!
Divya and her friend Preethi are
coming to Coimbatore for ten days
And regarding their stay...
I told them they can stay here
Is it?
Preethi can say in the guest room
And Divya?
Why do you ask unwanted questions?
Okay, sister?
Okay
I am busy this month. So,
mostly I won't be coming
Even if I come, I'll stay in
my brother, Ashok's room
Everybody at office is pissed
off with you. Hope you know
-Why?
-Because you're boss' pet
He says you're the reason behind
company's massive growth
He says all others are of no use
You don't have girlfriend-wife troubles,
so you focus on work fully
And so you earn a good name.
You have your life defined
Can't blame others for
getting pissed off
You tap three times more
calls than we all listen to
Why such an obsession over voices?
'May I know what information you need?'
'Madam I changed my number from post
paid to pre paid, two months ago'
'But how come I've got
a bill this month?'
"Keep quiet if you want to live!"
Ashok...
What are you doing?
Did you even sleep?
Why are you sitting outside?
Look at him! Doesn't
even bother to answer!
Today is the wedding of
Rajan uncles daughter
He was a close friend of dad
We must attend it
Today is October 17th...
Leena's birthday
Just get rid of this
guilty feeling, Ashok
Please
Enough of ruining your life
What do you want me to do?
His voice still rings in my ears!
I hear it when I'm eating,
sleeping and working!
His voice is all that I
hear round the clock!
The most dangerous species
to ever exist...
are human beings!
"As the days go by..."
"You come to visit me
at sunrise and sunset"
"You keep running to find answers, as it
is the only purpose of your existence"
"As I suffer alone"
How are you, Ashok?
Come home sometime
It's the house where
Leena lived, Francis
I tried my best, Ashok
I didn't get any leads
Who are you looking for?
Who are you?
You're the one standing outside
First, introduce yourself!
This is my house! Who are you?
Sorry, sir
This is Karthik's house.
He is my friend Divya's friend
Can you please call him?
He has gone out
Hello!
Karthik lives with me here...
almost rent free
I'm unable to reach
my friend's number
Tell me Karthik's number
My phone is dead
Come on, brother! You say
that he's your roommate
Don't you know his number by heart
I don't even see any of your photos here
There's a shoe rack in the hall...
and in the fourth row
you'll find a Puma shoes
You'll find my room's spare key in it
If you still don't believe me,
my room's on the right side
Open it and you'll find a cupboard
You can find my photos and ids.
Go and check!
Did you find it?
Yes, I did
Wait, let me check the room
Hope you didn't forget anything
-No
-Okay
Buddy!
You came early today?
Why are you waiting outside?
Meet Divya
-My girlfriend
-Hi
Nut!
Uh-oh! I forgot to buy it
-Divya, you go inside
-Okay
What's all this?
What are you asking about?
Who are they and what
are they doing here?
That's Divya, my girlfriend
The other girl, Preethi
Divya's friend
Hi
Why didn't you tell me that
Mr. Ashok also lives here?
I had no idea who he was
Tried calling you but not reachable
I made him wait outside all this while
Actually this is Ashok's house
and Karthik is staying here.
Just 10 days, buddy. Please
Your elder sister said she
is full busy this month
She said if she visits,
she'll stay in your room
Look how adjustable she is
Buddy...
usually you swear at me for
anything and everything
I don't mind it but...
for the next 10 days...
please treat me good in front of her
Preethi...
feel at home
Be comfortable
Sorry
Thanks to you. You're the
reason he let me stay here
After a long time... happy!
That too with me
Happy times? With him?
What are you guys waiting for?
-Get married
-Ask him
Though he'd come and talk to my parents
But he hasn't spoke to his parens yet!
-Well, the plan is to escape
-What?
I'll speak soon
So, what book are you writing?
Fiction. Thriller
First draft is approved. Have to
make few corrections and send
Your turn
Ashok...
please join.
You're calling him to play?
Only today I found out
there's carrom board here
Dude...
we are going to the mall...
and then planning to watch a movie
Joining us?
You guys carry on
Fine, come and pick us up at night
Comfortable?
Sorry, couldn't get introduced properly
-Ashok
-Divya
Hi
-Glad to meet you
-Call after the movie
Okay, dude
As a detective, I follow certain ethics
I can't take money from you anymore
without any development in this case
I cannot work on this case anymore
You are searching in the darkness
Before you leave...
give me a run through
on this case, once again
You know it all. What new details
can I give?
Didn't I pay you all these years
for nothing?
So, give a run through and leave!
In October 2014...
at Nilgiris hills...
there was rumour about
a psycho killer on spree
The reason for the rumour...
were the murders that took
place there during that month...
and the similarities
in all those murders
October 8th...
18 years old girl, Gowri...
was raped and later murdered
using an iron rod
There was an X mark carved
on her hand using a knife
On October 11th, a decomposed
corpse was found in the forest
The deceased was Chinna, second son
of the minister of forest department
He was also murdered using an iron rod
Two important details...
were found in the autopsy report
#1. Chinna was murdered 48 hours
before his corpse was found
#2. He was murdered using
the same weapon used to murder Gowri
That led to everyone believing
that a psycho killer is on the loose
It began to grab the headlines
But since the state elections
were due in couple of months...
all the news related to
the psycho killer was put on hold
October 17th...
Victims: Leena Joseph...
and Ashok Chandrashekar
Based on the statement of
Ashok, who survived...
there were two murderers but...
Inspector Francis who reached there
to save Ashok...
claimed that there was only one person
committing the crime and he too escaped
On October 21st, in the
town area market...
an unidentified 45 year old man's
decomposed corpse...
with a damaged face similar to
the previous murder was found
It still remains unidentified
Till date, the cops haven't been able
to find out this mystery victim
The only similarity
in all these murders...
were the X mark in victims' hand
and the way they were murdered
Ashok!
Here, you get in the car. I'll come
You arrived on time, buddy
Thanks
Hello
Where are you guys?
Almost getting into the car
How long will it take for...
Don't you have any sense?
Do you think your dad owns the road?
Go find a bigger vehicle
to get yourself killed!
Stop!
Go! Go!
Get in the car!
Quick!
Dude, wait
Divya is yet to come
Ashok, no! Please
-Listen to me
-Dude, please act sensibly
Ashok, the fault is mine
Watch out!
What's wrong with you?
-Ashok, no
-You guys stay put in the car
-Dude, listen to me
-They are innocent
Do you know my dad...
Sir, we are innocent.
She crossed the road blindly
Then why did you run when you saw me?
You chased us and we just
wanted to avoid any scene
Ashok!
Please give up
He's isn't fighting for you
It was that guy's voice
"Keep quiet if you want to live!"
Say it!
Repeat what I said!
-But why, sir?
-Just say it!
Keep quiet if you want to live
Say it properly
Keep quiet if you want to live
Once more!
Keep quiet if you want to live
-Karthik, go!
-Listen to me
Instead of working at
office in this wether...
if we work here, at home...
-then your mom will force us to marry
-No need
You must take a week's
off for Ooty trip
If you do like this, then you won't
have a job when we get married
Now, go!
Now, stop it! Where's the cab?
He'll be here in two minutes. Wait
Darling...
I left the wallet inside
Can you get it?
Can't you one thing properly?
-Doofus!
-Like you let me do things properly!
Nonsense. You just don't
agree to anything.
Karthik...
Yes, Preethi?
I want to know everything
about Leena's murder case.
Ashok, dinner
Why? I usually step out for dinner
Divya and Karthik have taken your car
It's raining heavily
How will you step out?
Thank you
I learnt about Leena's murder
I read the complete case details
Was it interesting?
Did I piss you off?
I forced Karthik and got all the details
Ashok...
I want to know everything...
about Leena
Aren't you a writer?
What are you currently writing?
Murder mystery?
Thriller?
These are best selling genres, right?
Why don't write about this one too?
Don't you know all the details?
That's all the details even I know
At least...
in your story, after the murder...
let the killer get caught
and be revealed
Only then the book will be a hit
It'll be quite interesting
Do you know what your problem is?
You only believe in the negativity
that has surrounded you
Trying giving others a chance, Ashok
You might come across positive things
I'm not asking you about Leena's murder
I want to know about you and Leena
About your relationship
Even after five years after her death...
you haven't moved on. Tell me about that
Anyway...
Im sorry to have hurt you
asking about all these
Have you come across...
someone who spreads nothing but love?
Lie, betrayal...
ever met someone who doesn't
even know what those are?
Well, I have
My Leena
My mother passed away when I was three
My father's a school teacher in Ooty
My sister is 10 years elder to me
She never let me miss my mom
When I was seven years old, my
sister completed her school
She came to Coimbatore for her college
First time...
I felt lonely in my life
A yearning that I couldn't describe
The feeling of missing a family
That was until I met my Leena
The only thing that
was common between us...
was that we both didn't
have a mother at that age
After Leena's mother passed away...
her father left her with her grandpa...
and went abroad
Leena lived with her grandpa...
expecting someday her father
would return
It was late before she realized...
that her father won't return at all
Another thing that was
common between us...
was loneliness
But that loneliness...
met it's fate on that day
"As love showered upon me..."
"it put an end to all my desperation"
"She lights up my world..."
"with her love"
"You are the rainbow in my world"
"You are the origin
where my life arises"
"You are my strength"
"I shall take care of you forever"
"Just to find you again..."
"All the barriers will be gone..."
"All the barriers will be gone..."
Leena, what are you doing
here at this hour?
Uncle, I'm alone and feeling scared
Can I sleep here tonight?
The neighbours will start gossiping
I mean it'd be fine if there
was a woman living here
But only Ashok and I are here
It's okay, uncle. No problem. Thank you
Lakshmi teacher stays nearby
Shall I talk to her? You can
sleep at her place tonight
No problem, uncle
It's okay. No worries
No, I'll talk to her
It's okay, uncle...
Leena!
Leena...
why are you standing here. Come in
I've set up the room for you
It's okay, Ashok
Come on, Leena
Come
Dad, let Leena sleep in my room
I could go with her to her house
but poor girl, her grandpa's
memories won't let her sleep
So, you carry on and go to sleep
Thanks for understanding
Ashok...
Ashok!
All these belongs to your
sister Ashwini right?
No
They belong to someone else
You look very beautiful
Your dad must be hurt, right?
All he worries is about
what others will talk about us
The whole town has been
watching us both for years
What new would they have to gossip now?
Grandpa was all over the house,
all the time
You can hear his voice round the clock
But the silence now...
makes me realize how big that house is
I know it very well
I am one among those who run for their
lives when your grandpa shouts
Do you know, he actually liked you
-Stop kidding
-I'm serious
My uncle married a girl
from a different religion
Grandpa never approved it
He knew I am with you all the time
But he never spoke a word against it
What happened to your uncle later?
He came back many times, begging
grandpa to accept him and his family
But grandpa never took him back in
Later what happened to him
and about his whereabouts...
Well, I have no idea about it
Leena...
can I ask you something?
What is it?
I don't know if this is the right time
Your grandpa just passed away
You must be heartbroken
-I...
-Stop beating around the bush
Let's get married. What do you say?
Okay
Okay?
That was spontaneous
We both know that eventually
we are going to marry each other
On top of that, I don't have
anyone to ask for permission...
but you
So is it ok to marry you?
Will it be a correct decision?
No matter what you do, you'll
never find a perfect guy like me
Let's get married. Nothing wrong in it
"As the distance fades away..."
"you fill my life with love and light"
"As my heart gets
drenched in your love..."
"we become inseparable"
"In this whole world..."
"you're the sole meaning of my life"
"A language that is
understood universally..."
"is the language of love,
which I see in your eyes"
"I wake up in my dreams..."
"like the waves arise,
just to find you again"
"Barriers will be gone..."
"like a volcano settles down
and our love will be strong forever"
"All the barriers will be gone"
"All the barriers will be gone"
"Oh my angel..."
"All the barriers will be gone"
"As the distance fades away..."
"you fill my life with love and light"
"As my heart gets
drenched in your love..."
"we become inseparable"
Why have you also applied
for job in Bangalore?
Why do you ask?
It's too far, Ashok
Just find a job in Coimbatore
We can reach here quickly, in two hours
You will be living
with me after marriage
We'll come here during weekends
I don't see a problem
I must visit this house often, Ashok
Or else I'll miss it a lot
A cop is standing out and
observing this house
What?
-Hello, sir
-Hello
Any problem?
Hi Leena
Francis?
What a surprise!
How are you?
I am good
Been so long! You look so different
You look the same
You still have the same innocent face
Why are you waiting outside?
-Come. Come inside
-It's okay
I just came to meet you
I didn't know if you'd be at home
I am on duty
I'll come sometimes later
Okay
By the way, meet Ashok
Ashok meet Francis
Hi
Nice to meet you
-Francis
-Ashok
Francis...
Back then I didn't know that
he'd be the one to save my life
Your uncle whom your grandpa disowned...
Is he that uncle's son?
Obviously, I only have one uncle.
That's his son
Out of the blue comes her cousin!
What a shame!!
What is this new competition?
There is no competition to my
love for you darling. Okay?
Just when Leena thought
she had no family...
Francis arrival gave
her a lot of happiness
Francis and his family became our family
Days that were filled
only with happiness
Who are you, sir?
Leena...
Leena, do you know him?
My father
Ashok...
ask him to leave
Please!
-Leena, please
-Ashok...
I need just five minutes with you
-Please, give me five minutes
-Ashok, ask him to leave
Leena, please
Sir, please...
I won't leave. She's my daughter! I
won't leave until she speaks to me
Please
Sir...
you left a five year old kid
and never looked back
Did you even bother to find
out what happened to her?
You show up out of the blue
and want her to talk to you?
I agree what I did was a mistake
I understand her pain.
I'm sorry, dear
Sorry
You understand?
You're sorry?
A sorry is supposed to solve everything?
Plea...
What was my fault?
Do you know how many days I stood by
the gate expecting your arrival?
You are solely responsible
for mom's death
You just don't understand anything!
And you don't care about anything!
You understand only money!
Don't touch me!
Ashok, come. Please...
Ashok, come in
I don't have much time left
Leena!
I am dying!
I'll be gone forever, soon
I don't have much time left
I'm diagnosed with
stomach cancer, fourth stage
I'm dying
I have nobody but you....
I have nobody...
Sir...
Sir, please come in
Get up, sir
Leena!
I really don't understand how could
Leena's dad leave such a gem and go away
Some s...
After all that he did to her...
he must have really done some good deed
She forgave him that very moment
She took care of him like a child
She is stubborn. She wants take me away
for this medical treatment
I'm sorry for creating
this gap between you guys
Come on, no problem
The best thing to happen to me
in life is my daughter Leena
Ashok...
you must...
Please take care of her
I will uncle
Don't worry
Thank you
Leena left to Singapore with her dad
The first time we both were apart
"I wake up in my dreams..."
"like the waves arise,
just to find you again"
Do miss me
Don't roam around recklessly
Take care of your health
"Her love fills me up"
Come back soon
"Her love fills me up"
Around four to five months...
A life without Leena...
I wanted to finish my
interview in Bangalore...
and reach home the next day afternoon
In order to surprise me...
Leena reached the same day
early morning to Ooty
Gowri...
Why is the door unlocked?
Gowri...
Gowri...
Gowri!
Gowri!
Francis, how did this happen?
Go and check it out
Leena?
Go upstairs and check
Don't miss anything
while clicking photos
Okay, sir
-Is the body sent for autopsy?
-Yes, sir. At 2 'o clock
Leena couldn't forget that incident
She couldn't come out of it
She lost the trust upon human beings
She'd spent time all by herself
Her dad also returned home
No amount of pacifying...
could bring her out of it
It was Leenas birthday
She wanted to go out somewhere
All I wanted was her to get out of it
and become normal
I didn't think it out completely
The biggest mistake of my life...
was taking her out on that day
Ashok, I don't have a
good feeling about this
Let's make a U-turn and leave
We have a destination only this way
Leena!
Leena!
Leena!
Who are you?
-Ashok!
-Leena!
Let go of me!
Keep quiet if you want to live!
Leena!
Leena!
Leena...
Leena!
Leena?
Help! Help!
Leena!
Leena, run!
-Leena!
-Ashok...
Don't wait. Just run!
Ashok!
Ashok! Ashok!
Just leave...
Please! Please!
Leave us
Told you!
Keep quiet if you want to live!
Ashok!
Leena!
Ashok!
Leena! Ashok!
Ashok...
Yes, Preethi?
So, is revenge your
ultimate and only aim?
These animals are roaming scot free
after committing so many murders
Do you think that's justice?
Just with a voice?
How, Ashok?
Fill your mind with only one thing,
then dedicate your life to pursue it
It will find you one day!
And if that day comes?
And if you find him...
what can you do, Ashok?
How will you prove it's him?
Don't be upset, darling
Do as you wish! I don't care
I feel that...
it is because of Ashok...
youre not coming with us
Stop blabbering. Nothing of that sort
What's the big deal? Once I'm done
writing my book, I'll come and join
We are going there for only five days
When will you finish and
when will you reach?
When it comes to Ashok,
be careful in whatever you do
Don't regret later
Hello...
Tell me, Preethi
Well...
I'm not in the mood to cook dinner
Neither am I interested
to step out and eat alone
So...
will you...
join me for dinner?
Okay
Okay?
By what time should I be ready?
Eight 'O clock
Okay
Bye
"A new relationship has begun"
"Will this be etched in my heart
forever?"
"Hey tough guy..."
"will you accept my love?"
"A new relationship has begun"
"Will this be etched in my heart
forever?"
"Hey tough guy..."
"will you accept my love?"
"The affection for each other grows
as we get to know each other"
"My desire for you grows
as I get closer to you"
"I can feel a spark inside
me when I get closer to you"
"What is about you that
makes me feel so?"
"I am lighting up like a firefly..."
"so come on, dear. Let's embark
on this journey of life together"
"Only love can put out
the yearning inside me"
"Oh my love"
"As I wait for the day you'll
also fall in love with me"
"A new relationship has begun"
"Will this be etched in my heart
forever?"
"Hey tough guy..."
"will you accept my love?"
"The affection for each other grows
as we get to know each other"
"My desire for you grows
as I get closer to you"
Preethi!
Preethi!
What are you doing here?
What's wrong with you?
Are you sick?
I love you, Ashok
I know you don't love me
But I also know that you like me
Is there a hope someday?
Will you let someone take
Leena's place in your life?
The only thing that can defeat
hatred and violence in this world...
One and only thing...
that's Love
-Sorry guys
-Okay
-Let's continue
-Hello
Hello
Yeah
How?
How are they doing now?
Don't you have sense?
Can't you drive safely?
Do you have any? Won't you buy
fruits while visiting the patient?
Yeah, be prompt in asking that!
-You must have got hurt instead of Divya
-Where is she?
First room
Hey there
Are you alright?
Do I look so? I fell and
skid on the road
Not even a scratch on him
I guess he knew it and escaped
Does it hurt?
It's pains very much. It's unbearable
Don't you worry
I'll handle mom
Senthil!
Sir?
Just think it was all for good
Senthil...
-drive very carefully
-Okay, sir
Call me once you reach there
Okay, sir
I'll talk to Ashok and
come back in five minutes
Okay
Buddy...
I want to have a word with you
I am one among the few who
know everything about you
May I say something?
Tell me
Don't let go of someone like Preethi
Now, don't give me that stare!
No one asked me to tell you
It's quite evident
Leena is gone forever
But love can happen...
Love only, right?
Uh-oh!
I can't do it. She asked
me to convince you
she even gave me a
note to memorize!
Just remember this, after a long time
good things are happening in your life
That's all I got to say. Don't miss her.
That is all I was asked to say
Ashok...
Tell me, Preethi
Why don't you join us?
The bike is at the police station
Few formalities need to be taken care of
After finishing all that...
Ill reach home. You guys leave
You didn't give me a reply yet
Let's give it some time, Preethi
Let's take a break
After that... what?
You might move on from your feelings
Even though it has been five years
since Leena passed, have you moved on?
You think it'd be easy for me?
-Here you go, sir
-Thank you
What do you want?
Don't ruin the other stuff
Boss, he isn't taking it
He is a regular customer.
Don't you know his brand?
Give it, his elder
brother will pay later
Okay, boss
Told you repeatedly to
arrange everything. Do it!
Excuse me!
You forgot this
Hello!
Excuse me!
Sir...
he is speech and hearing impaired
Give it to me. He lives near the lake
He will come back to collect or
else I'll send it through him
Why is that crazy guy
running away like this?
'Promise me whatever happens
you will never hate me'
'You will never leave me'
'I advice you to please move on'
'You are searching in the darkness'
'I tried my best Ashok'
'I did not find any lead'
'Enough of ruining your life, Ashok'
'Life has to move on, Ashok'
'If that day ever comes...'
'and if you find the murderer...'
'what can you do, Ashok?'
'How will you prove it was him?'
"Keep quiet if you want to live!"
Is that all?
Anything else?
Ashok...
think harder
We didn't find any other clue
Did the second guy say anything?
He didn't speak at all
The biggest mistake I
made that day was...
that I failed to ensure you were dead
I must have murdered you nice and slow
Keep quiet if you want to live!
Dear brother!
How did you trace us out?
You never saw our faces!
I was searching for this voice
all these years
What?
In the end your brother, who
can't speak, led me to you
Voice?
My voice?
"Keep quiet if you want to live!"
You said it twice to me
Today's I won't show mercy
Whether you keep quiet or scream...
you ain't going out alive from here
Leave me!
I'll finish him off!
Fine, since he roughed you up...
Go! Finish him off!
Let go of him!
Excuse me
Excuse me
Listen you mongrel...
I am going to finish off
your brother now
Keep quiet and enjoy the show
We didn't murder that girl
We aren't the psycho killers
You guys murdered her
right in front of me
No!
A third person came there on that day
A guy named Kaasi
He gave us that contract to murder
We are just the henchmen
Who is that Kaasi?
Kaasi is no more
The fourth murder claimed to be
committed by that psycho killer...
The corpse found in the market
That was Kaasi
Even the police couldn't trace out
whose corpse it was
So stop it with your stories
No one can trace him!
He is like a ghost
Murdering is his profession
Blabber all you want,
you're still dying today!
We were offered five lakh
rupees to murder that girl
What did you say?
One day he came
with a job proposal
The job was near Ooty...
so we were hesitant
He offered us five lakhs
and we took it up
We monitored the girl's house
for one whole week
She didn't step out at all
Back then the psycho killer
rumour was spreading quickly
Kaasi planned to kill the girl
following the psycho killer pattern
Atlast, the girl
came out with you
Kaasi was not with us then
He asked us to carry out the job
He asked us not to kill
the girl until he arrives
After learning that you
went to the hilltop...
He told us the location
where we must corner you
We did not expect the police
to come in search of you
Right when we decided to kill the girl
and runaway, Kaasi came there
We came to know that
Kaasi died after four days
We were scared about getting
caught, so we left Ooty
We did not return
for three years
I am not ready to
believe your stories
Because Kaasi is dead
You don't know anything too
Then, whom shall I go
in search of?
I swear, we did
not kill that girl
You killed my brother. Now leave me
I will leave this village
I will never come in your way
I am not convinced
Give me any information
that might save your life
I shall consider
leaving you alive then
I know where Kaasi stayed when
we were monitoring the girl for a week
After the girl died...
the next three days...
we went to the house...
to get the remaining money
But he did not turn up
After that night I
did not see him at all
Where?
How does Kaasi look like?
As tall as you
But darker and beefed up
Sir
Who is it?
One of my old friend named Kaasi...
used to live in this address four
years before. Do you know him?
-What did you say his name was?
-Kaasi
How does he look?
Black, beefed up
and as tall as me
Most of the men in this village
go with your specifications?
He was here for sometime
He stayed for a month.
Do you remember him?
Sorry, I don't remember
Grandpa!
Don't you remember me?
Ashok! You changed a lot
How are you?
I am fine
Let me take that
It's alright
How are you?
I am doing okay
My children...
stopped caring for me
I came back to my hometown
What are you doing here?
My house is around
here. Don't you know?
Here?
Third house on the right
by the street ahead
I am living there for 10 years
I came here searching for a person
He used to live in the
5th house in the street
A dark guy
As tall as I am
Kaasi
He was staying here when Leena died
Do you know him?
Please think about it
It's been 5 years
I know him
I know he used to live here
He was here only for a brief period
One day your inspector friend
came here looking for him.
He was an inspector then.
Now he has become DSP
Francis?
Yes, him
When did he come?
It was around that time
Since all shops are
closed here on Sundays...
I went to town to buy
medicines for my wife...
and returned in the
middle of the night
Dear... Francis...
Grandpa! Is that you?
What are you doing at this hour?
I came here to interrogate someone
-He is not at home
-A new guy lives here right?
I think his name is Kaasi... right?
Yeah. But not now...
He is not at home now
-Is there a problem dear?
-Nothing. You go ahead
Sunday... do you
remember the date?
Something happened then...
Elections were held that week
I returned late night, because
of the party's procession
Please wait a minute
The election was conducted on
Wednesday the 23rd of October
Then the Sunday you are referring
must be 20th of October
It could be
Mom!
Ashok... Welcome
It's been so many years
-How are you Sheela?
-I am fine. How are you?
Francis...
He just called. He is on his way home
Come inside
It's okay. Come in
Come
What would you like to have?
-It's alright
-Sit down
I will be back in two minutes
Ashok!
What a surprise?
All these years, how many
times have I called you?
When did you arrive?
Just now
Dear, I was about to call you
Ashok, have some coffee
You sounded tense on
the phone. What happened?
A murder case in Ketti town. A house...
was burnt down with kerosene
Two people were inside
Jesus
Is everything alright, Ashok?
I need to speak to you in person
Tell me Ashok
In person
Sam, take uncle to my study
Ashok, have some coffee
-Thank you
-What are you doing?
Your father is gonna
scold you for this
Make yourself comfortable,
I will be back
Sheela, take him with you
Sam, how many times have I told you
not to play games in my work computer
-Out
-Come
Didn't I tell you?
Drink your coffee. It'll quickly
go cold in this weather
My bad
I forgot you used to live here
Apart from anger and pain...
everything else
will get cold here
You wanted to speak to me. Go ahead
After Leena, the fourth person who
was murdered in the market place...
The person whom
you couldn't identify
His name is Kaasi
What?
Kaasi is a contract killer
Leena was not murdered
by any psycho killer
Kaasi and his two accomplices
were the culprit
What are you saying?
How do you know these?
I don't know who paid Kaasi
to kill Leena
But...
five years ago, he was acquainted...
with you, Francis
What?
I have the proof that
you went in search of Kaasi
On October 20th
A day before when Kaasi was
found murdered in the market
When you knew Kaasi...
why did you close the case
as unidentifiable?
What are you getting at Ashok?
Know your limits!
I let you in and sit here because
of the respect I have for Leena
You are the last
person who met him
On the day of Leena's death!
Who ordered to kill Leena?
Was it you?
That's it, Ashok!
I don't want to answer
your stupid questions
I came to save Leena.
I could not do it...
But it was me, who
saved your life
This conversation is over
You can leave
Ashok, what are you doing? Stop it
I found the voice I was
searching for these many years
Two of them. They were brothers
They told me about Kaasi
They begged a lot
Sir, please let me go...
Sir... Sir.. please don't do it
Sir! Sir!
I finished them off
Stop your drama
You eyes are full of lies
Tell me
Tell me what you know
I have no humane intentions
at all right now
Tell me
So you want to know
who the psycho killer is?
You want me to tell
you who killed Leena?
Who?
Who is it?
Who is it?
What do you want?
We were passing by
My brother is having
breathing trouble
Please give some
water. It's urgent
-Where?
-Here?
Please madam. It's urgent.
Please bring some water
Wake up buddy
Sister, come fast. Come here
Wake up man. Wake up
I have been watching you for
some time. You look beautiful
You rascal!
Mind you!
Hold her legs tight!
How dare you hit my brother?
Aren't you ashamed to get hit by a girl?
Make sure no one is in here
Will see to it
Where is that?
Move!
Move
Why are you drinking water?
Did you even do anything?
Won't you teach
your brother all this?
Chinna what are you doing?
Move away if you can't do it
Look at him
Dad is calling me repeatedly.
We are leaving
Starting trouble?
Selvam, won't you teach
your brother all this?
Move away if you can't do it
You let them do it. Why not me?
Answer me!
Gowri! Gowri!
Leena
What happened?
Minister Mariappan's son
Chinna was lying dead there
Leena's life would be in
trouble if news gets out
I had no clue on what to do
It was almost sunrise
I decided to cover up things so
that Leena won't be suspected
Murders by a psycho killer
usually follow a same pattern
Sometimes they leave an inscription
or words after the murder
In order to divert the case...
I created the whole psycho killer saga
Just do as I say for the next few days
Make sure this stays between us
Don't even tell Ashok
Okay?
After couple of hours...
I asked her to call the cops
She came home after sunrise...
and found Gowri dead. This is the
statement I asked her to make
Why didn't you file
this as a police case?
A girl undergoes so much
trouble and you chose to stay quiet
Try to understand, Ashok?
You don't know about
Minister Mariappan
He had murdered a lot of people
to become the Minister
A missing complaint on Chinna was filed
the next day from Minister's office
Stop pestering us!
I was being pressured
by my superiors
I got into Mariappan's house
on the pretext of investigating
I decided to over hear
all their conversations
I bugged the entire house
It was then I learnt
something unexpected
Gowri was murdered not just by Chinna...
but his brother and his
friends too were involved
I thought I had lost it all
Selvam started having doubts
when news about Gowri got out
Because...
he did not carve the X
mark on her when he left
Without knowing any of this...
I made a mark on her hand
Even then they were
clueless about Chinna
But after they got the body...
They found out that
Leena was the murderer
How?
The only reason the pervert
came back to the house was...
to prove himself to
those who laughed at him
You made fun of me, right
Now watch this
The last thing that
he did in his life...
turned everyone's life upside down!
Come on, dad
Watch out, sir
Chinna!
Chinna!
Selvam!
We must kill her brutally
-Come on
-Let's go
Mari, sit down
She killed my son
I know, now sit down
-It was a girl, after all
-Be patient
Are you asking me to let her go?
We shall do it, now sit down
Be patient
Election is just two weeks away
Everyone are waiting
for us to make a mistake
Your anger might spoil
your entire political career
You guys don't seem
to understand at all
You or Selvam should
not be involved in this
Let me hire some men
She created a rumour
about psycho killer
I will use the idea to kill her
Come on, uncle!
Chinna is gone!
Are you asking me to let that go?
-I know
-Damn it!
None of us should be
directly involved in this
The one who does the job should
not know that he is doing it for us
We should not know about
the person who does the job
The girl....
I will make sure she dies
I will ensure that
Please be quiet until then
Cut off the links to the media
The case should not be blown up at all
High profile murders like these...
will have several layers
The person who commits the murder...
will not even know for whom he did it
I did not know who
the murderer was
I did not know where to look for
Leena cannot leave the place
It was risky for her even
to step out of the house
I came to know you
two had headed out...
and searched for you everywhere
Atlast, I tracked you
But it was late
I killed Kaasi
Leena! Leena!
Leena!
Ashok! Ashok!
I went to Kaasi's room to
destroy his ID cards
But there was nothing there
Where is Minister Mariappan?
Two heart attacks...
has made him an ex minister
Mariappan lives in his estate here
He is bedridden
I have been struggling for five years!
You knew these all this time...
Ashok, please understand...
Had I told you, you would
have set out for revenge
They would not have
spared your life too
How do I believe all this?
I saved your life
You want proof, right. Come along
When Mariappan's brother and Selvam...
were planning to kill Leena
I recorded this after I
bugged Mariappan's house
I need you to do me a favour
Ashok, you still have a
life ahead of you
Do not spoil your life
Leena will not come back again
Can you do it or not?
What is it?
Someone has parked in middle of the road
I am not sure where he
went. Let me check, sir
Driver!
Sir, no one is inside
Look around
Driver!
Where are you?
Driver!
Sir, the key is in the ignition
-I will move it aside
-Make it fast
Sir, let's leave
Sir
Sir?
Sir!
Who are you? Let go of
my hands!
Recognise me?
Remember Leena?
You killed her right here
Hello
What are you saying?
Sir, the car is missing
Sir, please come here
When I came back... He was...
Sir, even the car is missing now
Hey, are you drunk? Blow your mouth
Sir, no sir
I said, blow your mouth
-No sir
-Tell me the truth
-Sir, no sir
-You will be done with
Sir
This is a deserted road
There are no signs of car tyres here
Did you pick up Selvam?
Sir, I am telling the truth
I parked the car there
I came back here
He was missing
What shall we do?
Shall we call our men
to search in the forest?
Call minister's house and
check if Selvam has arrived there
Sir
You both killed my brother...
and you expect me to
be a mute spectator?
A girl...
just because she slapped your brother...
you gang raped her and killed her
Your brother...
went back and...
Damn it!
And you guys are saints...
and you talk as if
murdering you is a sin!
What did you say?
You both killed my brother
What did I do?
You are going to kill me anyhow
Why do you act innocent?
I heard your voice...
when my brother called me that night
What?
Chinna, tell me
Save... me...
What are you saying?
Are you high? Have you
started drinking again?
What happened?
He is boozing again with someone
Alcohol is going to kill him soon
You were always with her, werent you?
You killed my brother
Selvam...
I am going to kill one more person today
Guess who?
-Bhaskar...
-Sir
Everyone except Minister
should be assembled here
-Right now
-Okay, sir
Come over and stand in line
Everyone come here
-Sir
-Call the station
Okay, sir
-Ask them to inform all other stations
-Yes, sir
Organize a search team
and send them to the location
Collect everyone's cell phones. I need
all incoming and outgoing call details.
-Interrogate everyone separately
-Okay, sir
-Quick
-Give me your mobiles
'Former minister of environment
and forest development ...'
'Mr. Mariappan passed
away earlier today'
'Chief Minister and other political
leaders are offering their condolence'
'Following the demise
of the minister...'
'in a new turn of events,
his elder son Selvam ...'
'is missing since yesterday evening...'
Sheela
-Shall we move?
-Coming
'He was on his way to Ooty
from Coimbatore airport'
You laughed at me right, now watch
I heard your voice...
when my brother called me that night
The video from Chinna's phone
How did you acquire it
on the same day he died?
Leena considered you to be her family
How could you betray her?
Sorry, Ashok. I have no other option
You have to die
Hello, Francis
Hello!
Francis
Ashok!
Is Leena alive, Francis?
How?
Tell me, Francis!
Tell me!
Tell me!
Tell me!
Tell me!
What did you do to Leena?
Francis!
Tell me, Francis
Francis
Tell me. Francis! Francis!
After my grandfather's death...
I came here to claim my
rightful share of his assets
When I came here...
this house...
You and Leena made it your own house
No one thought that I
had a share in this too
When Leena was treated
like a queen in the house...
my family was struggling for a meal
My father and I had
been here many times
But we had never stepped inside
The old man did not like my
father marrying out of the religion
What's my fault?
You and Leena did the same
Was that alright?
It was then I decided...
Leena lived here all these years...
I decided it was my turn
I could not go
around begging for it
When I was not sure about what to do...
the opportunity presented itself...
in the form of Gowri's murder
When I came to the house that night...
Selva...
Save me...
That night I saw the
video from Chinna's mobile
I kept it inside Chinna's dress
In case if they
fail to kill Leena...
I should be able to kill
her without suspicion
That's why I really created
the psycho killer saga
When Leena dies...
I could take the house...
But my plan was
foiled the very next day
When I came to this house to
officially investigate Gowri's murder
I read the old man's will
In the absence of Leena, the
house shall not be owned by anyone...
other than the church, it said
Even in his final moments,
he did not think about me
I thought things through
Suddenly everything was clear to me
The video I saved from
Chinna's mobile...
proved useful
I told Leena's father everything
I warned him that
they would kill Leena
Even if they don't kill her...
With the video I have...
I made him realize that I
could do anything to her...
The only way Leena could live was...
by being dead to the world
To execute this, I
demanded two things...
First, the house must be mine
Second...
Ashok and Leena should not be together
He did not think twice
He accepted immediately
The only point I slipped was...
when you and Leena...
went out without informing anyone
If I had come a little late...
Kaasi would have killed Leena
The only mistake I did...
was showing pity on you...
and saving your life
To convince Leena that you were dead...
was a daunting task
She begged to see your
corpse for one last time...
Her father blackmailed
her emotionally
He convinced her somehow
and sent her away from there
From the Government mortuary...
I took a corpse that looked like Leena
I made sure the face was unrecognizable
The next day, her father came in...
and identified the body...
Who would question after that?
For safety, I called your sister too...
She also believed
that it was Leena
I want to talk to Leena
Ashok!
Ashok!
Leena is married and has a child
She has come to India for the
first time after five years
She is in Goa with her family
She is calling me to visit her
If she finds out
you are alive...
Imagine what will happen to her
Ashok!
Ashok!
Listen to me...
Please leave this town at once
I will inform you next week...
Make sure there is a record
of you being at your office
A murder will take
place here right then
There is an accused here
Any how our department
is planning to kill him...
I will kill him in the same
pattern as the psycho killer
No one could link
you with that murder
Move on, Ashok
You still have your life to live
For Leena...
you are dead...
Let it stay that way
"As love showered upon..."
"it put an end to all the desperation"
"She lights up my world..."
"with her love"
"You are the rainbow in my world"
"You are the origin
where my life arises"
"My life belongs to you"
"I will always protect you in my heart"
"Our love is immortal"
'Selvam, the elder son of the
deceased former Minister Mariappan...'
'was murdered in
a mysterious way'
'The murder pattern resembles the series
of murders that happened five years ago'
'We shall ask DSP Francis about this'
People believe that the psycho killer
from five years back is out again
Have you arrested
anyone related to the case?
We have arrested four
people out of suspicion
Sir, we need a
clear picture on this
We are doing our best
The psycho killer
cannot escape this time
We will definitely arrest him
Thank you, sir
Ashok
What happened?
I fell down
Are you leaving?
Please, Ashok
Don't leave
Don't go in search of that murderer
I am not going anywhere
I am not going to take any revenge
I want to start a new life, Preethi...
"Everything just kept moving on"
"But the memories were frozen"
"As the shriek was heard all over"
"The sight sent a shudder
down the spine "
"Now everything is broken and shattered"
"It's all over!
Why did all this happen?"
