Mother!
Oh, God!
'Let's kill this boy also, partner.'
If we burn all the evidence we will be the prime suspects.
'We need a witness to speak in our favour.'
You are right,
but what if he insists on speaking the truth,
like his father?
Let's find out right away.
Hey, boy. What's your name?
Bhavani! - What?
Bhavani.
How did your parents die?
They were burnt to death in a gas explosion.
You come across as a sensible boy.
After we use him as a witness.
Let us complain against him for stealing our union funds.
'His father was the Lorry Union leader.'
If we claim his son stole the cash, will anyone believe that story?
Sudden show of mercy, huh?
I have seen him grow up.
Hey, boy, listen...
I'll send you to a place where boys like you are well looked after.
Will you go there?
'Govt Juvenile Observation Home Nagercoil, Kallakurichi.'
'That boy shouldn't be able to sleep even one night in peace.'
I have given you more than what you had asked for.
Thank you, brother.
You make the slightest error, and we will kill you.
Understood? - I will manage everything.
Hey!
Come.
'What are you glaring at him for?'
Hey! You want the luxury of sleep, huh?
What are you looking at? Eat it.
Wipe my boots.
I will pickle you to pieces, rascal!
'All of you, go to sleep.'
Hey, you! How much more do I thrash you?
Not the slightest impact...
You seem least affected by all the beating.
You are hitting me mercilessly because someone is paying you.
I have to pay you much more to make you stop hitting me.
I am penniless. Hit me all you want.
When I have the money.
I'll settle the scores with you.
Who is this? - 'Brother.'
'That boy Bhavani has escaped from jail.'
Scumbag! Is this why I'm spending so lavishly?
I'll deal with you in person. Find him before daybreak.
Scumbag!
'Don't worry, Brother.'
I won't harm you.
'If I had wanted to,'
'I could have easily slit your neck when you were asleep.'
But I can't be on the run throughout my life.
I came here to request you to let me lead a normal life.
I don't understand.
Let me live my own life.
What do I gain by releasing you, huh?
Give me a chance for just this one week.
I'll give you half of what I earn this week.
Whichever week I don't pay you,
stab me on that same day at that same spot.
Fine, I'll take a chance on you.
This week is yours, go.
I will help you cross the check post without a permit?
How much will you pay me?
Only if you pay Rs 1000 per lorry; will you be allowed to pass.
I'll get the permit slip.
Rs 1000 is yours to keep.
I want Rs 100 per lorry.
If the policemen hassle us?
That's my responsibility.
What, is it? What do you want?
'2002-2003 Register.'
Go... Go.
Hey, hurry up! Go!
Come, quick.
Hey! Wait... Wait.
Hurry up! Quick! Come on.
Hurry up. Let's go.
If you want the permit slip in your hand.
I must get Rs 500 per lorry.
Have you understood?
Whether I'm here or not,
make sure that the boys get their share of drink and fag.
Hey, pour it!
'Govt Reformatory.'
In a way, we are solely responsible for all this partner.
When we killed his father we should have burnt him to ashes.
Today, he is planning to take over as the Lorry Union Leader.
How did he amass so much wealth?
Lokesh, do you know how many lorries run under his control?
On top of it, he owns a meat factory.
He is into exports as well.
All this is common news, partner.
These boys in the reformatory for juvenile delinquents...
He uses them to do something. That's where the money flows in.
Some even say he plays proxy to a minister to launder his money.
If he wins this year's Union election,
he will stoop to any level to avenge his father's murder.
It makes no sense to spare him beyond this stage, partner.
'Hey, let the truck come in.'
'Yes, brother.'
'The truck is here.'
Talk of the devil!
Close his chapter.
'Hey, get into the vehicle.'
Hello, my dear boy Hindu, Muslim, Christian.
You seem to have the charms of all the Gods around your neck.
One must worship all Gods.
Some God will surely save me when I'm in danger.
Minimum guarantee!
Philosophy?
Is this the same chap who begged us to spare his life, when he was 17?
We need to discuss something very important with you.
The money you have been paying us every week, all these years...
You can stop it.
Instead you can sell all your assets,
go and earn a living in another city.
I felt the same and wanted to tell you next week.
For how long? That too, every week...
How can I pay tax to you to ensure my life is not at risk?
That's why I have decided to stop paying.
Hey.
That decision isn't yours to take, scumbag!
Just zip your lips and obey our orders.
I will do what I feel is right.
Hey... Enough!
I am well aware of how dirty your hands are.
Making those boys surrender for the crimes you commit.
Instigating them to kill, we know about all your offences.
Don't show off your temerity, just tuck your tail and scoot.
Otherwise, you will meet your death at our hands, watch it.
Look around yourself, this is my area.
If I set my heart on it,
only your lorry will move from here.
Not you.
Can you distinguish between loyalty and service for money?
Shall I show you a sample?
Listen!
We have important work to do, come here.
Hey, brother is calling us...
Let's find out what is the matter?
Whoever kills these three men in this spot will be rewarded.
The prize money is,
two million rupees.
Do you realize where you are and what you are blabbering?
Do you think we will kill brother for money?
Do you know for how long have we worked for him?
Three million. - Three million?
He is like our brother. - Four million.
Why are you quiet when he's so arrogant, brother?
Just say yes, I'll kill him... - Five million!
How dare you rattle off? - Six million.
Hey! Kill him.
Wait... Let us hear our brother out!
Seven million.
Hey, what are you doing? - Wait... Wait, brother.
I'll go up to the gate and make sure no one enters this area.
Eight million. - What?
Move aside...
Then shall we seal the deal for eight million?
Okay, brother. - Are you ready?
We will divide eight million equally and deal with these three men.
Now, do you know the difference between greed and gratitude?
Brother, the stuff.
I don't need this.
I'll give you two minutes.
Kill me if you can...
And save yourself.
Hey!
These boys?
Yes, sir.
Does the post mortem match the crime scene?
They have done a neat job, sir.
They cannot drive, and yet they ran over a man.
You expect me to buy this?
Hey, who are you lying for?
Sir, I'm not a professional driver.
I thought I'll try my hand. But it turned out to be fatal.
Right? - Yes, brother is right.
Do they have a history? - Yes, sir.
Pickpocket case.
They were in a Govt reformatory for six months.
Now, they are here under IPC 302.
Is this a reformatory,
or a criminal training centre?
Why do you need this reformatory that turns a thief into a murderer?
Call the Observation home staff. - Okay, sir.
Sir, he's calling you.
Good afternoon, sir, I am the superintendent here.
Forget the introduction; when do you intend to employ a regular master?
The boys drive away any master we appoint.
No teacher wants to take up this post.
Thanks to these boys!
But how can you run a school?
'Not one teacher so far, huh?'
God knows what will happen to these boys?
If there's no master to teach or guide the students,
how will they reform, huh?
I have personally seen 30-40 cases like this here.
Superintendent, I'm passing a Govt. order.
Send it to all private, Govt schools and colleges,
to every single institution.
Advertise it all over the state.
You will find a master for sure, understand?
Type out the order.
"They call me master, as my results happen faster."
'St Jeffery College,'
'is a truly renowned educational institution in Chennai.'
'The alumni of this college have carved a name,'
'in cinema, politics,'
'advertising and are celebrities in their own right.'
This college has moulded innumerable VIPs.
'The students are eager to make this a memorable reunion.'
Do you want to know why? Come along with me.
Hi... Ramya. - Yes.
Hi, nice to meet you. - Same here.
I had spoken to you over the phone.
Oh! That was you? - Yeah!
Okay... Okay.
What's your full name? - Charulatha Prasad.
Come, let me introduce you to everyone. - Sure.
But, sir... How? Our college has a reputation.
I'm responsible as a registrar. - Please, try and understand.
This issue may affect the reputation of the college. - Hello, sir.
If you have to take action, do it after the event is over.
We are accountable to our senior officers. - Please.
'Shri, stop this cat and mouse game,'
you had better confess the truth. - Trust me, sir.
Isn't JD responsible? - No, sir.
I swear, no, sir.
Then who is the culprit? Your father?
Everyone knows about Kavita's trauma.
I know how these scumbags sexually harassed her... - Hey!
Hey! Mind your words.
Spit that gum first.
I said throw it out.
I'll trash it as soon as it loses its sweetness.
Yes, sir.
The two noble souls who sexually harassed her.
You suspended them for one week.
Knowing it was inadequate we even complained to the police.
But they took us for a ride and did not take any action.
When we found out Aadith's dad is a rich businessman...
Then there was a plan to send them off to Canada.
That's why I took the boys,
to his house to keep an eye on him.
'Hello, sir, they haven't left the house as yet.'
'I think they are still inside.'
'But it's evident they have hatched a plot to escape.'
'Strangers keep walking in and out of their house.'
'Sir, I can hear their voices I think they are coming out.'
Take care, son. - 'Don't worry, papa.'
Be safe. - Call me as soon as you reach.
'This is the duo.'
'Call after you reach the airport.'
Hey, let's go. Come on. Quick.
Both of them have left home, sir.
Aadith and Rahul are in a taxi. They just crossed Ashok Nagar.
'Along with our boys I am following them, sir.'
Where are you, brother? - 'Near a signal.'
Which signal? - Jafferkhanpet.
Ask him the bus number.
Which bus? - '70 V.'
Bus number, brother?
70, V.
It's coming close to you. Waiting at the signal now.
'Brother... look here.'
I have spotted you. Come on, hurry up!
'Look, it's that bus.'
Quick! Come on.
'Get in.' - Move it.
Both of them got into bus number 70 V, sir.
'Bus number TN 01 AN 1184.'
'The bus has just crossed Jafferkhanpet signal...'
Why did he disconnect my call?
"Got the man with the plan right here..."
"Bringin' swag with the man right here..."
"Yeah, clap for me, man, right here."
"Got the man with the plan right here..."
"Bringin' swag with the man right here..."
"Livin' up and sippin on beer."
"Yeah, clap for me, man, right here."
"Hey! No matter what they say."
"Master the blaster."
"Hey! No matter what they do."
"Mr Master the blaster."
"Rhythm."
"Hey! No matter what they say."
"Master the blaster."
"Yeah! Master the blaster."
"Hey! No matter what they do."
"Mr Master the blaster."
"Got the man with the plan right here."
"Bringin' swag with the man right here."
"Repeat! Livin' up and sipping on beer."
"Yeah, clap for me, man, right here."
"Got the man with the plan right here."
"Bringin' swag with the man right here."
"Repeat! Livin' up and sippin on beer."
"Yeah, clap for me, man, right here."
"Sound the alarm."
"Yeah! Give it up for my man JD settin' fire to the screen."
Now, you all need not worry...
I have informed our boys.
They are inside the airport.
Don't worry. All the loopholes are covered.
Come, let's go. - No.
Not you.
Come. - Hey!
Throw him out.
Who is that?
Professor.
'Brother, get up Come... Come.'
Hurry up! Move.
Hey, driver, don't stop the bus.
Go... Go... Keep driving.
'Don't stop, keep moving.'
'Stop... Stop.'
'Stop, man!'
'Let's get off'. - 'Come soon.'
'They suddenly got down from the bus and ran.'
Thank God he came in his bike.
It wasn't him. It was me. - Sorry, sir, he came.
Sir, come sit.
'In all this confusion they ran into the Metro station.'
Give me the token.
Come fast.
'Get in, quick.'
It's really good.
I have meant to ride the Metro train for a while,
ever since it started. But I did not get a chance.
Thanks, boys.
Hey!
I plan to stab this master here.
Brave hearts, continue the ride...
The fainthearted, may alight.
Girls... Girls...
Can you hold this for me, please.
'If you move a bit, I can go there and watch it.'
Thanks, sir.
They are all his men, sir.
What?
How are college students and 'dhoti' clad politicians connected?
The airport is close by...
Catch an auto or something and go...
Don't wait here. Hurry up!
'They rushed out,'
and got into a shared auto...
It turned out to be our friend brother Jameel's auto.
I got in too.
'Easy-peasy that's where they got caught.'
Escape to Canada, right? - Yes, sir.
We encircled them and took them to the police station, right?
Yes, sir. Yes, sir...
So, you were responsible for all this?
Yes, sir. - JD had nothing to do with this?
We swear, nothing at all, sir.
Sir... - Hmm?
According to these boys, teacher JD was not involved.
These students are lying. - Of course, I know, sir.
JD is the culprit.
Who is JD? - 'He is playing up with their support.'
I'll tell you, long story - 'One day, he will get caught'.
'That will be his doomsday'.
Sir, the Minister has arrived.
If you are ready, we can escort him to the auditorium.
Come... Come here.
Sir, you please sit down.
I'll be back in ten minutes. - Okay, sir. I'll wait.
Serve him tea. - Carry on.
Two minutes, sir. I'll be right back. - Okay.
Not picking your call, huh?
It's ringing, but no one is picking up.
He was like this during student days and as master, he has not changed?
Shut up, Malti, didn't you try? - Huh?
I had asked the students...
What did they say? - He has been suspended.
Had you told us earlier, we could have gone in person and brought him.
He must be swamped; try again.
"Got the man with the plan right here..."
"Bringin' swag with the man right here..."
"Livin' up and sippin on beer."
"Yeah, clap for me, man, right here."
Uncle, he's our Principal, Anbiah Samuel.
Welcome, sir. -This is our vice principal.
'Ramya?' - Yes.
If that student is such a troublemaker,
why not just dismiss him? - Yes.
Then he should have been dismissed 20 years ago!
I don't get it.
JD isn't a student, my dear.
He is a professor!
What? - Dean of student affairs.
'First of all we welcome you all.'
'Good morning one and all present here.'
'Our honourable chief guest Manavai R Gauthaman,'
'Respected dignitaries on the dais.'
'What happened?'
Sir, students are making trouble, back stage...
Hey!
It seems you said this function won't go on without JD?
Then what, sir? We kept telling you he is not to blame.
'Why has he been suspended for two weeks?'
Any other day is fine, sir. This alumni meet is for him.'
How can he not be here, sir? Nothing will happen without him.
Are you the human rights activist?
Just you wait!
Sir, the minister, has been waiting for a long time.
Please bear with us. - He cancelled so many appointments.
Start the program. - I'll talk to them and join you.
'Om Shanti!' 'Om Shanti!' Peace in speech and spirit.
Call JD. - You suspended him and are asking me to call?
You call him. - I don't know his number. You call.
Call him. Hurry up!
Call before he changes his mind.
"Livin' up and sippin on beer."
Hello... Huh... JD.
This is Principal... Samuel here...
JD, sir, is fast asleep.
Call later. - Principal Anbiah Samuel!
Sir, he is not going to wake up, now.
Guzzled down 3 or 4 bottles - 'Can you wake him up or not?'
Huh...? No chance.
Hey!
He's drunk and fast asleep.
What can I do?
Will you ask your Education Minister to wait for half an hour?
We will go and get him.
What? - Do it.
What, happened? - Not budging an inch!
Is this how you drum-roll?
We have paid, right? Bump it, fellows.
Rock and roll, man!
This is it. This is what we want.
Ready... - Come on...
Hey stop... Stop!
Lift him.
Sir, good morning. - Good morning.
Tea, sir...
"The moment our bro steps in it's like an atom bomb exploding."
Did they really invite me? - Sir, why this doubt?
'I swear they asked you to come'.
Brother, beat the drum.
"Deliberately if you make trouble,"
"It will boomerang on you centuple."
"If you jeer or sneer at us,"
"Mind you; you will be limbless."
Yeah!
"Tell topsy turvy, yell curvy scurvy."
"Rock and roll; Heart and soul."
"Tell topsy turvy, yell curvy scurvy."
Yeah!
"The second our bro steps in it's like an atom bomb exploding."
What happened? - Oh! -Are you tired, sir?
Where is the ID card? - I have it, sir.
First wear it and go inside. - Okay, sir.
"We are all soaked in celebration mode,"
Let's go.
Hey, JD, come.
'Sit with us, JD.' - Is he a professor?
Suspended professor.
'What is his name?'
'JD.'
Start the program.
Sir, one minute. I want to say something.
Sir...
Sir, please give it to JD, sir.
JD. -'I've attended many college functions.'
Wear your ID card. - 'Witnessed many gatherings.'
'But I have never seen a crowd like this.'
Because the entire crowd here,
more than the anchor of the show,
'are celebrating the man seated below.'
'It is no mean achievement.'
'If he is getting this kind of reception among students.'
'Then he must be a dedicated and focused professor.'
'If he himself is like this...'
'Imagine his students,' - Why try all these gimmicks?
'must be good as gold.'
'First, give this man a big round of applause.'
To get a professor like him,
you and your college must be truly blessed.
Your eyes are red, sir. Wear this shade.
'This most revered master,'
'I would like him to come up to the dais and say a few words.'
'I am calling you, sir.'
Please come...
Come up and speak.
Hey! Where are you going?
Wait, let me tell a short story - Did you look at your shoes?
Are you going up to humiliate everyone?
Sit, quietly. - No, actually...
Please take your seat. - Yes.
JD is our...
The management and staff are completely against JD.
But the students celebrate him.
I don't get this?
He has gone out of his way for students' welfare.
Students revere him as their true hero.
Reason enough for the management to dislike him.
Secondly, after 6:00 p.m. our hero will be sloshed!
Sorry! - 'What, sorry?'
Good morning, sir - Good morning.
Careful, sir.
What is all this?
I'm sorry... Sorry! - It's okay.
'I completed that chapter'. - 'Oh!'
'I have also completed it.'
Hi... Hi! - Your classroom is at that end.
Oh! Good morning. - Good morning.
'What is his flashback sob story to get sloshed every day?'
Just don't ask him that.
If he gets a gullible idiot,
he will reel off a Mani Ratnam classic as his own!
I fell head over heels, chased her in the college, bus, everywhere.
She also reciprocated and one day,
we were happily sitting in a coffee shop,
her father walked in!
Oh! Did you get caught? - Wait, sister.
Her father's name was,
Mr Chandrashekhar!
We were both neighbours in Rainbow Colony.
I was in 8G, and she was in 7G.
India is here...
America is right here.
I took my guitar and left.
Hey, she was my heroine.
We climbed up straight to the top of the mountain.
We decided to jump. - Oh, okay?
My bad luck, I got stuck in a tree and escaped death.
What happened?
Her head hit a boulder, and she died!
That's a Kamal classic... Don't bug me. - Hey... Listen...
What a wild imagination...
Okay, which department is he in?
He studied in this same college,
he finished his M.Phil. Psychology here.
'Now he teaches Personality Development.'
May I request you all to please stand up?
I said... Stand... Up!
Now I intend to check if your mind and body are focused.
We are hearing...
But not listening...
Students don't listen to their teachers.
Teachers don't listen to their students.
Now...
Run!
Run... Run... Run.
Water!
Electricity...
Children don't listen to their parents.
Parents don't listen to their children.
And finally...
The government doesn't listen to the people!
Whatever I tell you now repeat it verbatim.
But...
Do just the opposite.
Jump in! - Jump in.
Jump left.
Jump right. Hey... Hey, hey!
Now on the starboard!
Faster... Faster... Faster!
Now close your bloody eyes and freeze.
Class disperse.
Getting late for my class.
We will meet at lunch. - Okay, sure.
'Let me repeat this.'
That bloody Bhavani is responsible for all this.
He finished off his opponents contesting,
in our Union election one by one, I know.
Gurumurthy, whether these people understand it or not, hope you do?
I have been saying this right from the beginning.
Who endorsed my view?
With the help of juveniles he is into all criminal activities.
Has the cat got your tongue?
Tell them. - You! We know this already...
Hello, brother.
Damn you!
Are you such a big shot, huh?
If you kill him, will you get his post?
Let me see... - No, brother.
Why are you so mad at me? I'm like a brother to you.
Whatever it is let's talk it over.
Why should I talk to you?
I'll close your chapter!
Get the car ready.
Brother, will the problem be solved if we fight?
Will murder solve the problem? Let's discuss it amicably.
I'll use the same juvenile delinquents,
you use as tools to finish you off!
Wait and watch! - Hey, I am still immature,
How can I teach you? - Count your days.
I will kill you!
You came here to apologize? - Let's talk it out, brother.
I will kill you in front of everyone. - Hey, brother!
Don't go, brother. Wait! - Ah!
'Oh, my God!'
Brother is gone for good?
Hey, brother! - What happened?
So, sad!
You were eye witnesses...
What did I do?
If I had walked out talking to him I would have shared his fate.
Impossible for a human to time this so perfectly.
I pray to all Gods thrice daily.
So, God has saved me and punished him.
May his soul rest in peace.
To conduct Students' election in our college this year,
University Grants Commission has granted permission,
but I opposed it strictly.
That's why for a mere formality I need your opinion,
Why don't we want an election?
For the records.
I somehow feel it is unnecessary, sir.
'The semester is fast approaching.'
'In the current scenario why do we need an election?'
'Sir, if the election takes place there will be more trouble.'
I don't think they are fit for elections. - Exactly.
'In my honest opinion, no.'
'I have no issues with the day college students.'
'I am a little apprehensive about the evening batch.'
Thanks, Ramya.
Charulatha, your opinion?
It's only been two weeks since I joined, sir.
So, if I voice my opinion I don't know if it will be right?
Come on, what's there?
No, sir. - Hey!
Why is JD sir quiet? - That's right?
Sir, is probably waiting for the right moment.
Sir, to be on the safe side ask JD for his opinion.
'JD, tell us your opinion.'
JD?
What day was yesterday? - Thursday.
Thursday is his day off, right?
'Professor JD.' - He would have been piss drunk!
Come... Come. - Hey! Careful.
JD?
Sir! Emergency, sir.
What are you doing here?
Let me give this phone to Rosie madam.
Her husband fell off his bike.
'What the hell are you doing?'
He is right, sir. - I'm warning you!
Let her just talk to him - What happened, Abdul?
'Wake up, sir.'
Don't switch off your phone. Talk to him.
Poor husband. - One minute, sir.
They are objecting to elections. Support us, sir.
Sorry, sir. - Get out!
Hey, let's go! - Useless fellow!
JD, what is your opinion about conducting elections?
Election is essential, that's all.
I thought as much.
He will say something meaningless, sir.
If we announce a student's election,
all of them will focus only on that.
Not one of them will study nor will anyone attend any class.
Correct, what will they learn by conducting student's election?
Why encourage politics in college?
Matthew, sir...
What is 'politics', sir?
Sir, I don't wish to talk to you.
Is that so? But I wish to speak.
I'm coming.
Sir...
First a student should know 'politics' means service.
Only if our students learn about election,
canvassing, leadership in college they,
will have an awareness about state,
central elections for the future.
College students are our first time voters.
Only if he is allowed to think,
a new leader will emerge for the next generation.
To mould as a good leader or to choose the right leader,
they will acquire both tact and discretion.
For someone to... - Sir.
They will stick posters all over and spoil the walls with graffiti.
Then claim ownership over the walls and fight.
Doesn't all this happen in normal elections?
Sit down, sir.
Aren't these normal issues that crop up in general elections?
So, can we decide to abolish elections in our country?
We have grown up with this culture,
of poster, banner, fanfare, and still follow it.
A student should know the do's and don'ts of posters etc.
We must conduct elections in the college.
Only then will he be a good example outside.
'If our culture of bribing with 'biriyani' booze,'
'and big bucks should change',
students should know the ins and out of politics.
Okay...
Let's assume you are right.
Who is responsible if students resort to violence,
or damage college property?
Sir, nothing of that sort will happen.
If you are proved wrong will you leave this college?
Will you resign, huh?
We will see if it happens.
Then you be the presiding officer,
and conduct this election.
If any problem crops up,
sign an affidavit you will leave this college.
The student's elections will be held on June, 25th.
I haven't seen him conduct an election as a master.
'But I have seen him do the same as a student'.
Shake hands.
This is the wall of democracy.
Your rules and regulations.
'Gym facilities free for all students'.
'Meat will be served for all in the hostel'.
'Good orators have become able leaders'.
You should speak up more boldly, Savi.
'Instead of finding faults with your rival and campaigning',
'ask for votes listing your reforms'.
Tear every single poster...
Posters and banners should be put up in their allocated places.
'Even if there's a small brawl among the students,'
'the election will be cancelled'.
You pull back and fire.
Cheers!
'Our total strength is 5500 students, sir'.
We have divided them into ten categories.
What is this column?
That is religion and caste category.
Let's avoid that.
Only if we delete it here...
It won't tag along with us forever.
Hey!
How much longer do you intend drinking like this,
and roaming around?
Why yell at me for no reason?
Will I yell at you if you are steady on your feet?
I am sober. - Is that so?
Hit an arrow anywhere on this board.
I'll accept you are sober and steady.
'Brother, prove yourself today.'
Rs one lakh to students in each department.
Cheers! - Cheers!
'I have a fair amount of experience in counselling'.
If you can tell me the reason I can do my level best to help you.
Earlier on... When I was jobless,
I was hanging around in a tiles company in Rajasthan.
Oh! - At that time...
A girl lost her bag on the train.
I found it and sent it to her.
She liked me for the effort I took.
She and I became pen-pals,
and we built a 'fort of love' just for us.
Then when she knew I was in Rajasthan...
For my sake, that girl took extra pains...
Embroidered, knitted a sweater and sent it to me.
Sweater in Rajasthan!
True that?
'Tomorrow if you have a problem and you come to me.'
'Even if it's midnight I'll be there for you.'
Why should we create problems and end up at the police station?
Beverages free in the canteen,
Aqua training access free,
You will have campus interviews.
You will leave the college with a job in hand.
Above all give this some serious thought...
Do you want to be ruled by a girl?
Or revel in a boy's leadership?
Hey! That isn't even my glass.
Some other chap has relished a drink and gone, madcap!
How dare you?
'JD' please...
Sir... Fourth round, sir.
Results are due any moment.
I'm scared, sir.
You fought the war, and now, are scared of the outcome?
Fourth round indeed!
Come on. Get going!
'Most awaited election results are going to be declared very soon,'
'Fourth and final election results are going to be declared'.
Bhargav 2588 votes.
'Savitha 2648 votes'.
'Savitha won the election by sixty votes'.
Congratulations, chairperson.
Sir, I think they have already started creating a stir.
Sir, what do we do now?
Why do you still ask me? She's the captain of your ship.
Chairman, tell us what to do?
'Sir.'
To avoid all this unnecessary confusion,
I'm thinking of talking to Bhargav directly.
Look at that!
By all means go and talk.
But go alone...
Madam...
Don't dilly-dally, scratch your head,
crack your knuckles and keep looking back,
Don't dawdle, dither and hesitate.
Just talk straight!
Sir, will you give me your bracelet?
Why? - Please give, sir.
"Yeah! Roll the drums!"
"She is coming!"
I want to talk to you.
If she comes offering a truce I'll break the bones on her face.
Brother, tell me... - 'What happened?'
Your son lost, brother.
What? - Bhargav...
I came to congratulate...
Winning by just 60 votes is no big victory at all!
Er... is there any rule in college there should be only one chairman?
You take over day college and I'll handle evening college.
Okay, bye.
Congrats!
I extended my hand even on nomination day.
You didn't want to shake hands.
At least let it be truce now?
I don't think it's safe for her to go alone
Shall I go and check, sir?
'Let's shake hands.'
Okay. - How ridiculous.
He has patched up happily.
'He is shaking hands with that girl who won.'
'Let me talk to him.' - One minute, brother.
'Bhargav brother.'
Dad, there's no problem I spoke to that girl.
She even asked me to be the chairman for Day college.
'You got a sudden desire to beg a post from her, huh?'
It isn't what you think.
I'll come in person and explain to you.
Brother. - 'Pack him home in our car now.'
Okay, brother. - 'If he hesitates,'
'just threaten him.' - Okay, brother.
'Thrash the one who defeated him.' - Okay, brother.
I'll explain to my dad please don't create a stir.
He has given me permission to scar your face, brother.
First get inside.
But please don't hurt that girl.
Sir, he wasn't nasty to me.
I shook hands, and he said okay.
That's all.
Celebrations are over.
Hey! Catch.
Wear these IDS.
Where's the booth? - 1st floor, brother.
'Hurry up.'
Clear up all this mess and then rock and roll!
Sir, evening college students are planning to burn down the booth.
Who is he? - Professor, brother.
What? - That wasn't a fair election.
We demand re-election or re-counting.
Election is over, that's all.
Burn down the booth. - Which department are you in?
Come here. - Stop this bloody idle talk.
I'll kill you, son of a gun. I'll break all your teeth!
Shri, quiet! - 'Give that bottle.'
Wait. - Sir!
Sir, let go. - 'Shut up, all of you.'
Hey, let me talk!
'Sir! Sir!' - What is the hurry?
Evening college chairman candidate Bhargav wants to talk to you, sir.
'My dad didn't listen to me.'
He has sent some party goons to bash up everyone in college.
'They have merged with the students.'
'Ensure our college students are safe, sir.'
On the starboard!
'Why are all of them spinning? - What are they doing?'
Now close your bloody eyes and freeze.
'What is this? Tell us, brother.'
'Sticking to the wall like glue?'
Move forward.
'They are doing just the opposite.'
'Wait, don't go.'
Send all the girls home safe.
Sir? - Just do as I say.
Hey! Take all of them through the back door.
Go... Go... Fast.
'Go now.'
Savitha, you go!
Hey! That's the girl Grab her.
Hey... Hey!
Are you okay? Savita?
Go in... Quick.
Sir, the students are all out of control.
Let me go! - Leave her.
Huh!
Let her go!
How dare you manhandle girls!
Master... Here you go!
Nothing major,
just a nail scratch.
The meeting is being held in the library.
Is everyone safe?
'I have checked all the groups.'
They have texted me.
The entire riot has been recorded in our college CCTV cameras.
Is he behaving like a professor? - Excuse me, ma'am,
you are talking about damage of property.
Rowdies got together and bashed up 4-5 of our girls.
What could all the teachers do?
No one came to stop them. - Stop it, Charu.
It isn't even one month since you joined this college.
Just keep quiet.
What the hell are they discussing?
I'll be back.
I'll talk to JD.
Then we will take a call.
If he intends to come back we are resigning, sir.
'What is this meeting in aid of?'
Sir, I have already given a commitment. I'll resign.
I'm just leaving this college.
JD, just wait in the car.
'I need to talk to you.' - Sir?
I said 'wait'.
'I understand.'
If they need to know your worth...
A gap is essential.
Your decision is correct.
You wanted a three month break?
I have given my consent.
When did I ask?
Isn't this your signature?
Sir...
Carbon copy, sir
Oh! Come on, JD.
Haven't you opted for a break of three months,
intending to teach?
Teach? In which college?
College?
As you have mentioned Observation Home.
Sir, don't play the fool.
What will I do there?
I didn't sign this.
Maybe after 6:00 p.m.?
After 6:00 p.m.
Good chance.
See...
JD, you are losing control on yourself
If there's any issue in the election you agreed to resign from your job?
That means you have something on your mind.
Fine, sir, I'll go.
I have many 'well' wishers here.
This must be their handiwork.
It's okay, I need a change too; I'll go.
'Inspector is waiting in your lodge,'
'to explain the job, you will be undertaking.'
'That means,'
Oh, that means, it’s not you. - Brother?
You didn't pass on any information?
No, brother. - Okay.
Then whatever the lawyer and I spoke in the union office...
How did the police get to hear? - That's what puzzles me.
You know this music director Anirudh?
He has composed a new film song.
Shall we listen to it?
Listen... - 'Brother.'
'Bhavani has made up his mind. You are his next target.'
'He has decided to kill you by framing it on those boys.'
What do you say, bigamist?
At least is this your voice or will you claim its mimicry?
Brother. - Did you call me Bhavani?
Make sure the boys are supplied,
with their regular dose of drinks and drugs.
Whether they get three square meals a day or not,
Drink and dope should flow steadily.
Okay, Bhavani. I'll see to it.
Where was I?
You got me married,
and how can you make my wife a widow?
Tell me, brother.
I'm choking with emotion at your sentimental speech.
Why are you scared?
I had tucked the knife in my waist.
What if it pierces me in the wrong place?
Not that... - Doesn't matter if they say,
'that's how Bhavani died a noble death.' It's fine.
If they say, 'he had tucked a knife that stabbed him in a wrong spot.'
Does that sound good?
No. - No, right?
Brother... - Relax.
Is that respect? - Yes, brother.
How is it over the phone all this 'bro' kinship is missing?
What is this?
Lean back. - No, brother.
Won't you comply with your brother's death wish for you?
Lean back... Sit... Sit!
Hey, Gopal!
Hey. - 'Yes, brother.'
Tell me, brother.
Ask Das to pick two boys ten years old to surrender.
Okay, brother. - Go.
Brother?
A new master has been recruited for our reformatory, it seems.
Okay... so? - I don't know if you know,
I thought I should inform you.
A teacher is bound to be appointed.
All of you are giving a build-up as if it is Breaking News!
Dispose of this body and ask someone to drive this truck.
Okay, brother.
"Creep like a lioness, make no sound."
"Slide like a snake, over sun-baked ground."
Sir, can we switch off that racket!
Then shall I wear my coolers?
"Twist like a hurricane, bend and sway."
"Break like a wave, wash the filth away."
Sir, college students,
are bound by certain protocols of parents and society.
But those boys there lack all that discipline.
Their age and their activities have no connection whatsoever.
'Not even a single inmate is human or humane.'
'Beasts.'
'Kabaddi.'
'They know our law is lenient to their habitual crimes.'
'They use it to their advantage and break laws.'
'That's why I'm telling you, sir.'
Don't bend backwards,
to reform them in those three months you are assigned there.
Aren't you wondering whether to go there or not?
'Sir...'
'Sir!'
'Is our hero in a dream world?'
Sir, check if that's your phone?
Brother. Brother.
'Wake up, brother.'
Not mine.
Oh! Brother's phone.
That's no problem, sir, I don't mind going.
I can handle them. - Sir...
So, have you decided you are going?
Here...
Das?
That teacher will be here tomorrow.
Despite knowing about this place,
if he is ready to set foot here,
don't underestimate him.
First let him come...
After he steps in here...
Let's see if he lasts here even for half an hour.
You should be in there by 10'o clock.
If you freshen up I can take you in my car.
In that vehicle?
Yes. - Okay, you go.
I'll shower and come.
Okay, brother.
Life is a pain, huh?
Three months.
If he comes in and starts taking a lesson,
ask all of them to fling these at him.
Das...
"Who is this?"
"If I'm doin' somethin,"
"Boy... I like to do it well."
"And when I'm in the zone,"
"Ain't nobody stoppin' me."
"You know who it is."
Das, look at his stride and beard! Doesn't look like a master.
Doesn't carry a book or a cane.
He looks so local. Rough and tough.
We will provoke him and then pounce...
"Master!"
"They call me... master."
"You know me... master."
"I'm master the blaster."
"Master."
"They call me... master"
"You know me... master."
"I'm master the blaster."
"If you set foot in our place it is trespassing into our space."
"We will hassle you to the root. Master, change your route."
"As juveniles, we roam in this Observation Home."
"Tears in our eyes ready if you ask us to study."
"Don't take lessons in life or ask us to drop our knife."
"Your lame advice is of no use. We don't want your views."
Why did you stop singing? It was such a peppy song.
Wow!
Song... Sketch...
Looks like a bunch of talented boys.
Not bad at all!
Are you setting out to play?
Why? What's wrong?
I don't interfere in the likes or dislikes of anyone, boss.
Whoever wants to play, go ahead. Want to sit here, be my guest.
'I am allergic to the sun. I'll sit right here.'
Should I teach now?
No... No. - We want to play.
Very good.
Brother... - Shall we give the letter now?
'I hate the sight of this classroom, bench.'
'I will throw all this out.' - Not now, I'll tell you.
Don't indulge in all this graffiti on the board, bathroom walls.
You focus on your work, and I'll stick to my job. Deal?
We thought of chasing you away if you started lessons today.
You are unique, master.
He seems to be one of us.
Turned out I'm quite jobless.
Why waste time sitting?
Why is this place so dirty and stinking to high heaven?
We celebrate ten festivals a year and 20 birthdays of leaders.
You don't clean up this place and celebrate on any occasion?
'Celebrate' means?
That means...
Have a blast, huh?
Right. Rock on!
We have no idea of the day or date. You and your ideas!
It’s not like that.
Some of you were singing when I entered, right?
Who were they?
What the four of you just sang...
If all of you sing in chorus.
That's celebration.
Come with me. I'll show you.
Beat it.
"Let me sing a short story. Pay attention, listen to me."
Why sing in English, brother?
Just listen, brother.
"Let me sing a short story. Pay attention, listen to me."
"If you want, take it or else don’t stress, leave it, baby."
"Life is very short, buddy. Always be happy."
"Problems will come and go."
"Chill a bit, brother."
Together, man.
"Let me sing a mini-story. Pay attention, listen to me."
"If you want, take it or else don’t stress, leave it, baby."
"Life is very short, buddy. Always be happy."
"Problems in many designs will come and go."
"Chill and relax, brother."
"No tension, baby."
"If you race at a zip zap zoom speed concentration is a must indeed."
"If you crawl at a slow pace to be steady is a must always."
"Oh! Anger always misery, baby."
"Stand united as friends, buddy."
"Haters are going to hate but ignore calmly."
"Delete negativity totally, baby."
"Focus on what you dream and don't worry."
"Positivity will lift you, baby."
"Life is very short, buddy. Always be happy."
"Problems will come and go, don't be tense."
Students...
"Let me sing a short story. Pay attention, listen to me."
"If you want, take it or else don’t stress, leave it, baby."
"Life is very short, buddy. Always be happy."
"Problems in many a hue will come and go."
"Take a break, brother."
"No tension, baby."
"Hard work is necessary. Smart work also is compulsory."
"Self-motivation isn't it your reflection?"
"You need education plus total dedication."
"Try self-evaluation for validation."
"Don't be the person spreading hatred."
"To talk behind one's back is so crappy."
"Always be polite and don't be nasty."
"You be the reason to make someone happy."
"Life is very short, buddy. Always be happy."
"Many problems will come and go. Put your feet up, brother."
One last time.
"Let me sing a short story. Pay attention, listen to me."
"If you want, take it or else don’t stress, leave it, baby."
"Life is very short, buddy. Always be happy."
"Problems in many designs will come and go."
"Breathe a bit easy, brother."
"That was my short story."
"How was my short story?"
"That was my Lilliput story."
"How was my short story?"
Go... Go... Go.
Master...
'He's asleep?'
Quick, wake him up.
Sir...
Sir?
Put the letter in his pocket. - He is sleeping, brother.
Just do it.
Hey!
Who is that tickling me?
I can hear footsteps; we will talk to him over the phone tonight.
Come away.
We shouldn't get caught.
Thank God, only another 89 days left.
Go home.
Hello, stop.
I noticed just now.
Don't know who played this prank Why are you cycling?
I can drop you in my car.
That's alright I can manage...
I was hoping at least you will bring about a change.
Why? It's all going smooth.
The boys are having fun.
We are submerged in problems.
Half the boys are drowning in a sea of drugs.
Whatever they get they readily use as weapons.
Every day some boy,
or the other twists his arm or ankle.
Why tell me all these tales? Am I the police or what?
I'm just a teacher here.
Sir, you don't understand.
The police arrests criminals. And the court punishes them.
But these boys...
To sift and sieve right from wrong...
We are not equipped, sir. They need a master like you.
Okay, shut the gate. I'm on my way.
I am just coming.
Yeah.
'What happened, brother?'
'I tried 10-15 times he isn't picking my call.'
'Try again, brother.'
'He isn't picking our call.'
'Do you remember sister Charu's number?'
'Call her, brother.'
'Hurry up'
Manikandan speaking, sister. You saw me at the Observation Home.
Someone is coming.
Switch off the phone. - 'Hello... Hello?'
'Can you hear me, Mani?'
Go, brother.
Enjoy the 'biriyani'.
'Brother...?'
We don't want. - Why?
Not hungry.
Is that so?
He asked you to eat, right?
Half-baked nutcase!
How much have we suffered, starving in this same spot, moron.
Get me some water.
Brother, I'm scared...
Lucky to get a leg piece in a 'biriyani'.
People kill for food.
So, we should not waste food.
Go on, eat.
Get the water.
Enough.
The one who stole my phone...
Whom did you call?
No one, brother.
No one.
Tell me the truth.
I don't know, brother.
Ma... master, brother.
Who?
The master who joined duty.
Master, huh? - He is a drunk, brother.
You don't have to take him seriously at all, brother.
Why, 'master'?
My father died when I was a kid.
Couldn't bear the hunger I stole and got caught!
They piled cases on me.
And sent me to this. Juvenile Home, brother.
We are being released tomorrow.
But he is asking me to surrender for a murder case, brother.
If my mother gets to know this she will die of shock, brother.
If you had called me instead of calling that master.
I'm emotional by nature you see...
I would have assigned someone else to surrender.
Not wanting to surrender isn't a mistake on your part...
But you wanted to sneak our internal information.
Isn't that a grave mistake?
Grown-up boy, you tell me what you did was wrong or not?
Yes, it was wrong. - So, I am right?
Enough of eating 'biriyani'.
I'll take it. You have had enough.
Here, take this.
Aren't we both very young, brother?
Think of us as your younger brothers and please forgive us this time.
My dear, boys like you should not be pardoned.
They pardoned me. Look at how it has shaped me.
How do we deal with this?
We won't repeat this, brother. We won't snitch to anyone.
Listen, you can be scared of anyone in this world.
But if death knocks at our door,
even if it is Lord Yama you shouldn't be scared.
I'll give you two minutes.
Kill me and then save your brother and yourself.
What were you doing when these kids stole your phone?
On top of it, you have this stuck up attitude!
Go away. - I won't spare you.
Listen to me. Just run away.
Run outside. - I won't go.
Hey, don't you get it? The only plus is your voice!
No, I won't go. - Hey!
You have only one minute left.
Decide fast.
Go away from here.
I won't leave you alone.
This is what I expected from you!
Clear out.
I won't spare you.
Brother...
Wake up, brother. Get up.
I'm constable Rajeshwar! Get up, brother.
School starts only at 10'o clock Why are you waking me...
We have a problem on hand. The inspector wants to see you.
Why should I meet the inspector?
You have to get up now.
Understand the gravity of the situation.
Okay, I'll get up. Don't shake me up like a rattle!
Go, I'll follow suit.
'I will come.'
Start... Make it quick.
"Time for a new beginning."
"We could not deal with life."
"Don't allow the culprit to get away."
"Why were we punished?"
He is our class master.
Oh! You are that master, huh? First, I have to interrogate you.
What did you do?
This has never happened before.
Did you hit any of the boys?
Tell me...
Can't you hear me? Answer, man.
Sir, what is this?
Not here, I need to take him for inquiry.
'Get him into our police jeep.'
'Search all the rooms in case they left any suicide note.'
"My eyes are full of salty tears."
"Is the lord upset with us?"
'N2 Police Station Vadaseri.'
Bhavani, can we come with you?
He has asked me to come by myself, I can handle it.
What about... that master who is in police custody?
I came out of the reformatory 15 years ago.
The reason I have been patient for the past five years...
I wanted to kill these three men,
and become the president of the Drivers' union.
Two men are dead and gone. This is the last one to go down.
He has sent for me.
Is he my priority?
Or is this master important?
He's only important.
What shall we do with this master? - I'll handle him.
Sure? - No problem.
Shall I go now? - I'll go.
Let's go.
Come with me.
Where are you going?
Two minutes, sir. - Quick, sir, will be here anytime.
'Are you the mother of those two boys who died?'
'Yes, sir.' - 'Is that so?'
Boozed up to your brow, huh?
'Sit outside' - 'Okay, sir.'
If someone calls you ten times from the same number,
won't it occur to you that it may be a serious problem?
No, Ch... Charu.
Why are you staring so blankly?
I was a volunteer in an NGO before I took up this post here.
Based on a complaint...
I went for inspection to that Observation Home.
That's how I befriended those boys.
They told me about the injustice at that reformatory.
But I couldn't take any legal action.
So many vile threats...
The only reason I shifted to Chennai was to handle such cases myself.
I needed to be financially secure. So, I took up this lecturer's post.
When you defended the students my faith was recharged.
I was convinced this flawed system could be changed for the better.
I forged your signature for this post.
Even for your job, I was the one who applied.
Even the founder is aware of this.
Now I feel that was a big mistake.
If you hadn't come here at least those boys would be alive.
Now both of them have left us.
How can you defend yourself, sir?
See, I had no idea whatsoever. No one told me anything.
When have you been sober enough to understand?
Have you ever realized anytime who is talking to you?
No!
I have my share of personal problems.
I am unable to come out of it.
I can't cry.
I can't cry, I can't sleep at night either, that's why,
I drink.
I swear I never thought it would be this horrific.
Oh! You can never cry, right?
Charu, where are you taking me?
'Were they into drugs?'
'What do I do?'
Are these people with you? - She is the mother of those boys.
Yes.
I had promised this woman that,
someone will come and rescue her boys.
Both my sons were very fond of each other.
My eldest told me just last week,
'Let my younger brother study. I'll find some job to support us.'
'A master was coming he said.'
He was sure they would be rescued.
No one came. Both my boys died!
You! Where are you?
Hurry up!
'Listen, you have to come for questioning,'
'when we ask you to.'
You! Come here. - You can go.
Sir... - Who are they?
She is that master's colleague it seems.
Pack them all off and move that master to the cell.
Okay, sir.
You! Clear the other cases out of the station.
Okay, sir.
'What will I do now?'
'Even now you are so hard hearted?'
Your eyes won't shed tears till the day you die.
Get even more sloshed.
'Why are you lamenting here? Shut up now.'
I said shut up!
Do I have to repeat myself? Clear this place now, madam.
Clear out!
Come with me, sir.
I swear...
Sir, come on, sir.
What, sir? - I never thought this could happen!
Remember, you will face the curse of these deaths!
Let me ask for forgiveness.
Sir, I am showing respect because you are educated.
But, you don't seem to understand.
Go, take him out.
What will I do now?
Hey, come out!
Hey, sir, there are huge mosquitoes here!
Do something, please!
Go inside.
'You want a mosquito repellent!' - 'Don't hit. It hurts.'
Listen, Bhavani...
Only you and I are left to contest the Lorry Drivers' Union election.
I have to win unopposed.
'Looks like it may rain.'
Can we have tea and then discuss?
'Master, my name is Sabari.'
'My elder brother is Manikandan.'
'He stole from a bakery for my sake because I was starving.'
'But they foisted some other case on us and brought us here.
'Everything is wrong here, master.'
'They thrash us mercilessly.'
'They stuff some powder into our mouths.'
'Immediately our teeth start shivering, master.'
'Don't know if it is day or night.'
'We put up with all this thinking it is for a short period.'
'Now when we are about to be released,'
'they want us to surrender for some other murder case.'
'Otherwise, they are threatening to kill our mother, master.'
'Sister Charu assured us you would come and be our saviour, rescue us.'
'Please save us, master.'
'Our poor mother.'
'She is all alone.'
'Crying nonstop daily.'
Go ahead.
I told you, Bhavani.
I want to win unopposed.
I called you here to arrive at a compromise.
But still I can't trust you.
You will take any kind of cruel measure,
using those juvenile delinquents.
Should I step out of my house daily with fear, in every breath, I exhale?
That is why...
Did you call me here? Planning to kill me?
Funny!
You call someone with a plan to kill him.
Treat him royally like a guest and offer him hot tea?
You are the only man who asked me for permission to kill.
Are you begging for permission?
What kind of a great man are you?
I have been waiting for the right time and place to kill you!
'Hey! Wait.'
I'll give you two minutes.
Kill me and then save your men and yourself.
'Hurry up!'
Do you need an army to bash up a man?
Open the door first.
Hey, he is a master. Watch your blows.
You have only ten minutes.
Come out without too much damage.
Turn the other way.
He is here for a free show!
Murali, come here.
Switch it off and come.
Even if you are reborn, pray, I don't set eyes on you!
Don't, Bhavani.
Wonder what their plan is!
Master, my boss, has given you a bus ticket.
'Luxury bus air-condition sleeper.'
Leave tonight; you will reach your hometown in the morning.
Got it into your head?
'If you refuse.'
You saw the two boys hanging from the roof?
You will be next.
I'm talking to you. Is that a love letter in your hand?
Sabari, Manikandan.
Hey, he is the one who was refusing to surrender...
Sir, the noise is too loud.
Ignore, we will handle it.
Sir, the noise is ear-splitting.
Go in and check. - Okay.
'Stab him and rip him apart.'
Sir?
They may kill that master. Please come here, sir.
Open the door.
Hey, Chaudhary...
Open the door!
Open the damn door.
Hey, Chaudhary...
Tell me... - Bhavani!
The master...
Who are you?
Who is behind this? What is your motive?
Why do you use these innocent boys? I don't know any of this.
But I will find out.
'Hiding behind these boys,'
'and framing them, neck-deep in crime.'
I will catch those fellows.
I'll hunt high and low, find you and stand right in front of you.
I will...
I will make you pay for the death of those two boys.
Master...
Whatever I'm about to say is not new for you.
Still, I'll say it and you listen.
I'm waiting!
I won't make you wait for long. I am coming!
'Das, I'm very scared.'
'He is back again.' 'Is there no one to save me?'
'Oh, my God!'
"Don't mess with us again,"
"or we will teach you a lesson!"
Master, you have been staring at the rope for a long time?
Want to play on it as a swing?
What is that famous song?
Let me tell you a short story.
Hey! Not short...
Sad story!
"Let me tell a sad story!"
"Zip lip, or slip skip and trip!"
"Chillax, master!"
"Take a deep breath, master."
Hey, master!
Take a chill pill, master.
'Youth to the youngest ones are doped day and night.'
'When they are intoxicated they are not in control of their senses.'
'Both have plenty of criminal cases against them.'
'The two boys who died are sheer poison.'
'Both must have died when tanked, sir.'
'They won't toe the line with their parents,'
'or with our rules.'
They are arrogant boys who insist their word is the law.
'There are 10-12-year-olds with all kinds of diseases in here.'
All dazed and doped.
Who told you they were good-for-nothing boys?
Both were 24 carat gold, sir.
Both the boys who died...
They called a girl I know on the night they died...
You mean Charu?
Yes, Charu.
I know Charu, and I know who killed those two boys.
We have tried our level best...
But we are unable to stop the dope and drink supply.
How can drugs enter the premises without your knowledge, sir?
They have so many routes to supply, sir.
Without the wardens' support,
'nothing can be brought in, sir.'
As per our rule book, no violence on boys who are below 18 years.
Using that as an excuse they will bring the roof down!
Presuming others' fears are their plus...
These are goons who rule the roost.
Poor chaps!
Trapped for life caught in Bhavani's web.
Who is Bhavani?
Beast!
Bhava... Bhavani? - I don't know anyone by that name.
Sir, don't simply keep asking questions.
You got any other work, carry on, okay?
See you, sir?
Let's go.
'Teachers who came here earlier to reform these boys,'
have made a hasty retreat thinking their family takes priority.
But my story is completely different.
I have no one to call my own, sir.
'The day I saw those two boys hang in front of my eyes.'
Their eyes bulging...
Tongues sticking out...
I died, sir.
If you can help me,
I will change this place and bring order and fair play here.
Whatever hardship comes my way. I don't care even if I lose my life.
I have no problem, sir.
If you work within the ambit of rules and regulations,
I will support you, sir.
"Refuse to back out, now!"
"Just say yes, I..."
"Want to walk hand-in-hand with you."
"I am not worried anymore..."
"Let's play this game!"
"Enough of gifting yourself strife. Switch off this dizzying life."
"No more booze to give a kick. Quit now, double-quick."
"Break the bottles,"
"you should trash them for your good."
Forgive me, ma.
"No more daily booze session. Quit this deadly addiction."
"Break this habit, begin life anew. Trash the bottles now."
"Enough of this, night and day. Get it out of your system today."
"Enough of this dependence. Switch off without a fuss."
"Enough of being a slave to craving. Quit drinking; no more depraving."
"Break the bottles and the habit. Trash them for your benefit."
You got me wrong, Bhavani.
Ever since Gurumurthy died,
everyone is scared to contest for that post.
I have spoken to the district councillor...
In another ten days,
it will be announced you won unopposed.
Come here...
Brother, she is the one putting a spoke in the wheel.
She registered the case; it seems. Our boys sent her photo just now.
What should we do with her?
Can't you handle a woman?
As if you need a priest to choose an auspicious time! Get lost!
Bhavani, even if someone else sits on that post,
he will always be your slave.
Then why aspire for this post?
Fear that stems out of murder is short-lived.
But fear derived from a post of power,
and authority lasts a lifetime, right?
After this I'm entering politics.
Don't know how many heads will roll to make that dream come true.
I don't get it, Bhavani. - By God's grace,
the boys will be the fall guys.
Hey, master!
Looking sharp, like a new groom?
Correct, man. He looks different, right?
'Master is in a mood to teach us a lesson.’
Do you think he's married?
'If he was married.'
And if his wife looks hot.
Super, no?
All of you stand height-wise.
Shorter ones in front.
Taller ones at the back. Come on, fast.
If you come clean-shaven and yell you think we will get scared?
'Move on to your next job.' - 'At least pretend to be scared.'
Listen to what the master is saying.
Fall in line. Stand height-wise.
Master, don't judge a book by its cover.
Instead of height try weight as a measure.
This chap like a buffalo here...
'Pickpocket case. Real pipsqueak.'
But our little black ant had the guts to kill.
A cut above the rest. Then isn't he the heaviest?
What is your name?
You heard me? What is your name?
Master, you can't lay a finger on us.
You know that, right?
Sir, you can't lay a finger on the boys.
Rules.
'Don't hit them and get caught unnecessarily.'
'Like a new starched shirt, sir is all stiff and spruced up.'
"We apologise for the delay!"
It is wrong only if I bash up the boys?
Yes.
"Don't mess with, the master!"
"He is the master!"
"He will destroy evil."
"He will thrash you."
Why are you hitting us?
As a master, you think you can get away by hitting us?
'We are also wardens here.'
We told you not to hit the boys. So, why are you caning us?
"Don't run over him and look the other way."
"Don't get into his bad books, stay away."
"Master's raid, no warranty. But pain is a guarantee."
Please don't hit...
Sir, I'm going to Sabarimala I have taken the forty-eight days vow.
What happened to your devotion while peddling drugs?
Oh! Mother!
Name? - Bharath.
Sibi. - Karuppusami.
Dhanus. - 'Udaya.'
'Venkatesh. - Stephen.'
'Pencil.'
Inspection it seems. All of you line up to one side.
"He will take the law into his hand. When discipline fails to stand."
"Master's raid will be well planned."
"When he uses his soft voice. Obey his rules, dear boys."
"If you defy however slight his cane will hug you tight."
"Don't create a ruckus. His warning smile is dangerous."
"Accept your mistake, bro he will let you go."
"What was that noise, lad? Your nose is bleeding bad."
"Wherever you hide, dude master's eyes will find you."
"Listen to master's advice. You will be wealthy and wise."
"If you act smart anymore time to kneel on the floor."
"Don't stand and stare. Don't get caught again, beware."
"Hit him once; you are out cold. He will retaliate multi-fold."
"Don't turn a blind eye to a crime on the roadside."
"Says 'Thirukkural' wisely. Don't chicken out and flee."
"My followers devotedly. Will be true wholeheartedly."
"Without discrimination of caste, race, religion,"
"Apple of our eye is our nation."
"We were patient till now; simply. But we will retaliate; world war 3."
"Continents will quake and quiver. Nonentities will shake and shiver."
"His entry spells power. Loud and clear."
"Who is he? Thalapathy!"
"24 carat gold is he Lion king royalty?"
"Move aside, dude, beast mode."
'Bhavani, that master is acting too big for his boots.'
'He bashed up the wardens.'
'He raided the premises and burnt all the drugs, dope and phones.'
'What to do with him now?'
How can a master get to be so bold?
Find out who is backing him up.
Hey, sir! Hello, sir!
"Don't stand and stare. Don't get caught again, beware."
"Hit him once, and you are out cold. He will retaliate multi-fold."
"Won't turn a blind eye to a crime on the roadside."
My dear angels!
Can you give us a hand?
Here, take this.
"We were patient till now; seriously reign of terror; world war 3."
Hey, let go!
Don't move.
"Move aside, dude. Beast mode."
Master, you had your way, eh?
You can trim my hair or tonsure my head.
Beware of my leader Undiyal. Try your tricks on him.
'Undiyal, listen to me.'
Don't go there. Go to your block. - Shut up, warden.
Hello, boss. - Morning, brother.
Who had the guts to lay a finger on our hair?
Is there a rule on the long and short of it?
Master, do you know the rules or not?
You have a free hand with everyone's heads.
Master...
Let go of me, master.
You don't know who you are pitting your wits against.
You will regret all this.
"Master's raid. Pain post-paid."
You are messing up!
God! You are scaring me!
Hey, Dheena. - 'Sir.'
Let it be a close cut. - Sure, sir.
"Don't run over him and look the other way."
"Don't get into his bad books, stay away."
"Master's raid; All crimes waylaid."
"Master's raid!"
"This is our time, buddy."
Go!
Madam, next week,
everything will go back to as it used to be.
Huh!
I'll take your leave.
I have never seen such bad nicotine stains at so young an age, JD.
Prise open their mouth it's like a cigarette shop!
'I have collected cavity samples from the six boys you mentioned.'
How long will it take? - I'll let you know in a day or two.
Thanks, Malini.
He left me with a half-shaved moustache and beard.
Such a disgrace!
I feel like I am naked!
I feel humiliated!
In our business, we meet new enemies every day.
If you lose your temper with everyone, you won't survive.
Handle him with patience.
'Make him run in all four directions.'
Don't let him sleep.
Torture him mentally. - Fine.
I'll tackle him.
Hey! Come out.
Hey, calm down. Don't fight!
What is happening?
Sir, I don't know.
The gate was ajar!
Hey, go and get the key.
Go! Hurry up!
Go! Go!
Don't let anyone out. Lock them up in the class.
Okay, brother. - Give me the torch.
'You will get bashed up.'
Hello, brother. - 'Yes, tell me.'
None of our boys is missing, I hope.
Brother, the head count is correct 63.
'Not one of them is missing.'
'They came from outside for sure.'
'It's burning!'
Oh! God!
Leave me!
You are hurting me.
Hey, what has happened?
They have fractured her hand!
Master, do something!
'Hit them at least once, master.'
Hey, master!
This is your fate every single minute you are here.
You will carry the marks, forever.
There's more to come.
We will escape from here tonight.
Try to stop us if you can.
'I was on my bike sticking to the kerbside.'
Whether he collided by mistake or deliberately targeted me,
'Only God knows.'
'But his intention is to provoke you.'
Only then you will get angry,
and show your fist power on the boys.
'They will use that as an excuse and pack you off from here.'
'Don't act on impulse.'
Only his leg is fractured. The hand is intact.
Sorry.
I couldn't do anything to help you.
It's okay, forget it.
What can you do?
My fear is those grown-up boys,
are waiting to pounce on us in kabaddi.
And we have to play against those beefy buffaloes...
In case we lose...
we will be 'alti' this entire month.
'Alti' means?
Being an errand boy.
To be at their beck and call.
Do all their dirty jobs like a slave.
I'll anyway lose.
It is my fate to me an 'alti'.
I snitched to you, right?
Using 'Kabaddi' as an excuse as if it's just a game.
'They plan to bash me up, master.'
'Hey Undiyal!'
Come...
Look here.
Look at me.
Coming or shall I lift you and bring you here to play?
More than the aches from blows and kicks...
Pain from fear hurts deeper!
Go with courage...
Go and check what he's doing.
Das, he is coming...
Tell me, Malini...
You snitched about us to the master, right?
Face us now. - Hey!
I know very well...
If Bala plays we will win for sure.
So, you got scared and broke his hand, right?
Had he been here would he have defeated us?
For sure. You would have lost pathetically.
Fine, you can call a partner.
I'll call anyone I want but then you can't go back on your word.
Call, we won't send you back without breaking all your teeth today!
Master!
"Clash of wills here."
"You are ready for your bier."
"We are bound to win!"
"Kabaddi... kabaddi... Do hold your breath."
"Kabaddi...kabaddi... To show your strength."
Tell me, Malini. - 'I checked the results.'
I am sure all six of them are above twenty years of age.
"Kabaddi... kabaddi... Play."
"This is the clash of wills!"
What are you saying?
Not one of them is less than eighteen?
I am sure, in those six boys no one is younger than eighteen.
Master... At least do you know the name of this game?
'This is not cricket or football.'
You must hold your breath and repeat 'kabaddi', you know?
Our rules are different.
You can't just touch and run.
You must toss your opponent outside the line...
What? Still want to play?
Come on...
'The moment master comes, push him!'
"Kabaddi... kabaddi... kabaddi... play!"
'Pick him up and throw him out!'
'Good... Good... Go for it!'
Hold him. Get him...
You are out if you step out of the line.
Hey!
'Hey, what are you doing?'
Careful. Careful. Get him!
'Brilliant!'
Hey!
Bingo!
Kabaddi... Kabaddi...
Knock him down.
Hey, no!
Oh, no! - Good job!
What next?
"Kabaddi... Kabaddi..."
Master, do not spare him!
He is hitting us real hard.
If you have the guts show it now...
Come on... Show us what you got!
Come... Come on.
Kabaddi... kabaddi... kabaddi!
Touch me, if you can!
Come... Come on!
Kabaddi... Kabaddi...
- Come on!
Kabaddi... Kabaddi...
Will you hit younger kids?
You will break their hands? Is it?
'Wow!'
'Does anyone else want to come forward?'
'Come and face us...'
"Kabaddi... kabaddi... kabaddi!"
"This is the real challenge!"
"He is bound to win."
'Wow! What a hit!'
"Kabaddi... kabaddi... kabaddi!"
- 'Way to go, master!'
"Kabaddi... kabaddi... kabaddi!"
'Accept defeat, brother!'
'You have lost!'
Kabaddi... Kabaddi...
"Kabaddi... Kabaddi..."
Watch the line...
If you dare lay a finger on these boys just once more.
"Kabaddi... kabaddi... hold your breath."
"Kabaddi...touch to show your strength."
Master?
What? - Is it okay to talk frankly?
The camera is recording everything - Go on; it doesn't matter.
I'll tell you, master.
My mother passed away when I was born.
My neighbour raised me.
My father asked that sister if she will sleep with him!
That's why...
I threw the grinding stone on his head.
Immediately the police put me in jail.
'That's when I got trapped with brother Das.'
From then on, I had to listen only to what brother Das says.
Brother Das will walk in.
He will check who is addicted to drugs.
Powder, smoke, booze. He will increase the dosage.
Which one of you here...
Has seen Bhavani?
Bhavani?
Where have I heard this name?
'Somehow sounds familiar.'
Master!
We have heard this name. But none of us has seen him.
Brother Das is the be all and end-all here.
We must obey him implicitly.
'If he asks us to surrender,'
'we should do so with our eyes closed.'
Otherwise we will be hanged.
'They recently hanged two boys.'
'Didn't you see that, master?'
Do you all want to go home and live with your family?
Or do you want to surrender?
Go home, master! - Be with our family!
You have been here for ten days.
We haven't taken to drugs till now.
Only now we know our selves.
Somehow save us from here, master.
If you follow what I say, you can go home and live as you wish.
Will you do as I say?
Yes, master! - We will!
Whatever you told me now,
will you tell the same to the magistrate?
Of course we will, master! - Sir.
I'll arrange all the formalities to get them out on parole.
Thanks, sir.
Let the video evidence be with Charu till then.
It will reach the magistrate when you say so.
Master, you shot some video and cleverly made us confess.
You haven't shared your story.
Tell us! Let's listen.
'Ask him.'
The cat got your tongue, huh?
Tell us! - Tell us, master!
'Please share your story, master!'
We are asking, right? Please tell us.
Don't ask for trouble. Trust my voice of experience!
Wait, they are very eager to hear.
I'll be happy to share. Let them enjoy.
I was in college then?
'I think it was my final year.'
A new teacher joined our college.
Her name was Chandani.
Unbelievable one in a million 'Love.'
All of a sudden, that girl I loved,
met with an accident.
'She forgot her past.'
She didn't even know who I was.
She even forgot my love for her.
Fate made me attend her wedding, present a bouquet with my own hands!
After that...
Hey! Why are all of you sniffling and crying?
Now that girl has totally forgotten our past.
Master, isn't that teacher sister Charu?
Hey, this sister is a teacher working as my colleague now.
That was my college time.
Down memory lane Chandani teacher.
Hey, don't you watch Malayalam movies?
If I don't understand the language.
I don't watch. - Okay.
Getting late. All of you leave.
Class tomorrow morning as usual.
Okay, master! - Bye, master!
How much longer will you quote a film story,
if someone asks you about your past life?
Fool yourself in the bargain and trick others too?
Which is a film story?
Don't act.
What you narrated was the Malayalam film 'Premam'.
Copy cats! They stole my story and it is released, huh?
One track mind on plagiarism, huh?
Okay, what do you want to know?
Tell me...
Why did you start drinking?
Every drunkard will have a story.
Why go into it now?
If I tell you my reason,
a handful of them will follow my footsteps.
Is that necessary? Isn't it wrong?
Okay... Okay.
I won't tell you why I got into this habit.
If you like, I'll tell you why I quit, shall I?
"Those smiling eyes..."
"Make me fall in love."
"Now that she has my heart..."
"It is as if I own the world."
"My heart likes to live in her heart."
"This is my only prayer."
"All I want to dream of, is her."
"I see heaven!"
"This, I say from the heart..."
"I belong to her."
"The best looking,"
"He is the master!"
"He has cast a spell on my heart."
"My heart is all set to fall in love."
"Give my single heart, a chance."
"Those smiling eyes..."
"Make me fall in love."
"With her around,"
"I feel, I own the world."
JD is an orphan.
He grew up like a wild tree.
Only after joining this college,
'he met a professor.'
'His friendship and care changed JD's life.'
V.C.Selvam!
But unfortunately he had a health issue.
He was admitted in a hospital to get treated...
That really shattered JD.
After that he was unable to sleep.
Alcohol consumed him.
"Residing in her heart all the time. His style, his stride so divine."
"This is all I pray for."
"All I dream of, is her."
"I see heaven."
"I have to befriend her."
"No one can stop me."
"My heart belongs to her."
"I am dizzy with love."
"I want to be hers..."
What?
Let me go.
"With her around, I feel I own the world."
Hey!
'Hey, tell me...'
'Why does she keep calling?'
Hey, come on!
Tell me, Charu. - Sir, I don't know who they are.
'Some boys are chasing me.'
Charu, where are you? Which area?
In Triplicane, Murugan temple.
Road opposite Murugan temple.
Huh! - Charu?
Charu...
Follow me.
Hey!
Look there...
'They started chasing me,'
'when I was on my way to the magistrate's house.'
I don't know what to do or where to go.
Charu, don't be scared.
'I will send our boys.'
Go inside some shop there.
'Enter a shop to be safe.'
'Thank you for calling, Parandhaman.'
I have come into a shop, sir. - Turn on the speaker.
What do you need?
'One minute, please listen to what I have to say.'
'Let this girl hide in your shop for a while.'
I'll send my men, please.
My business will get affected. Don't involve me; clear out.
Aren't you a fiery blooded youth?
'Speak boldly.'
Brother, I'll take care.
'You don't worry.' - Thank you, brother.
Come here, dear.
Did a girl come in here? - No.
Master, they are teasing me...
'I told you no one came in here.'
'Bro, where are you going in?'
'Listen.'
'He already told you no one is here.'
Oldie, shut up!
Give it of your own accord.
Or else just two punches. I'll smash your face.
If I have to grab it from you...
Hey... Hey! - Wait, master.
This face looks familiar.
'Sister.'
'Turn your phone towards him.'
Hey, Undiyal!
'Hey Button, my dear friend!'
Undiyal.
What are you doing in this video call?
Hey, the girl you are chasing is my sister?
'Your sister?' - Yes.'
I didn't know that.
I was asked to finish her. That's why I chased her.
But tell me, why are you chasing her?
What is that? - She has a camera.
I believe she has a camera.
Ask her to give it and we will leave.
Sister, give him what he wants.
We will deal with this differently.
'Okay?'
'Just give it, sister.'
'Hey Button.'
I told you she's my sister. I didn't hear your apology?
Apologize to her. - Sorry, sister.
'Hey! You boys too.'
Sorry, sister.
Huh! - Way to go!
Master, end of the incident. Sister safe from any accident.
You talk to her. I'll wait there.
Charu, leave that place immediately.
Yes. Yes.
Who are all of you?
What are you doing?
Look.
What is this tattoo?
This branding?
When boys are sent to this home...
Brother Das picks up the sharp ones and trains us.
When we get released,
he will tattoo our hand with this Tamil letter 'pa'.
If we show this tattoo in the Mess, we can eat to our stomach's content.
If you are older, you will get plenty of drink and cigarettes.
You can get clothes for free from their textile shop.
They will even get you dope from a pharmacy.
But the hitch is...
Now and then,
they will make us surrender for a crime.
Not to get back into the old bad ways,
I'm staying aloof.
'We have heard this name, but none of us has seen him.'
'Brother Das is the be all and end-all' here.'
'We must obey him.'
Is it a newly released film?
You stand if he asks you to,
or they hang you upside down!
How did he get away?
Don't know how Bhavani. I sent professionals.
Somehow they messed up. - Shut up!
What do we do with this, brother?
It has a card inside which stores whatever we shoot or click.
Destroy the card and keep the camera at my place.
Okay.
When are they announcing the results?
Either on Monday or Tuesday.
You will win unopposed.
Why should you be tense?
I can enjoy, right? - Yes, what else?
Sit here.
Have you heard of the ostrich?
A bird with a long neck.
Have you seen its egg? It is this big.
So big in size.
But the ostrich alone will know the pain of hatching such an egg!
Will you sit here even after I have explained it to you?
No, Bhavani.
Get lost! - No, Bhavani Ahem.
Bhavani, the boys, want a drinking party.
You won't drink.
At least for them...
Drink to dig your own grave.
Go ahead. - Thanks a lot, Bhavani.
Goodnight.
Somehow you made me show you this place.
I did not want to come here.
Let's go back, master.
Wait, I have a good reason.
We will go soon. - Right,
you haven't come here to eat.
'Do you want a longer one?'
'Yeah, okay. Fine.'
I thought you were inviting me for a candlelight dinner.
Last time I came here, there was no power.
They had lit only candles.
Okay, relax.
Don't look at this place.
I heard the food here is good.
I thought we would have some privacy.
Close your eyes and show me your right hand.
Why? - Show it, I'll tell you.
Don't open your eyes till I ask you to.
'Open them now.'
That boy's hand in the salon had this same mark.
Show this over there.
And ask for a 'meals' token.
Why should I?
All for a good reason. Go and show your hand.
They don't care who is it.
The minute they see the tattoo,
they give whatever the boys ask for.
Bhavani's boys take care of the rest.
What is this for?
I still have unfinished items on my bucket list!
"Let the drums beat; no restraint. Let the party rock; no constraint."
"Let our army smash and slam. Our earth will quake with the wham."
"My hands will never miss a beat when I beat the drum ever so neat."
"Even the dormant nerve will dance, hearing my drum's resonance."
'Beat it!'
"Do not miss a single beat, my friend!"
"Let's make everyone dance."
"Let's dance away till daybreak!"
"Come on, let's enjoy!"
"We can hardly wait for us to win!"
"We will keep enjoying this!"
'Bhavani!'
That master is churning in my mind.
Tell him to kill that master tomorrow before daybreak.
Why wait till tomorrow morning? We can close his chapter right now.
Just do as I say.
"When you call a friend in need..."
"He will hear you, as he is close by.”
"Beat it!"
"Doesn't matter where you are."
"Be like a storm!"
"You give us hope!"
"Let's see who has the courage!"
"Hey!"
"Let the drums roll; no restraint. Let the party rock; no constraint."
"Let our army smash and slam. Our earth will quake with the wham."
"My hands will never miss a beat,"
"when I beat the drum; it's a royal treat."
"Even the dormant nerve will dance, hearing my drum's resonance."
'Rock and roll.'
"Let's not miss the beat my friend!"
Give me a packet if you have it.
I don't stock drugs.
"We will enjoy till daybreak." - Who are you?
"Come on, let's enjoy!"
Forward all the videos to the police department.
I'll bring the boys to the magistrate directly.
Okay.
Master.
This is Bhavani brother's truck.
I have heard he comes here often.
Let's go there. - Oh, no! Are you joking, master?
I am not coming. You go if you want to.
"All a drunk needs,"
"is an excuse to drink."
"All a drunk needs,"
"is an excuse to drink."
"No matter where it comes from,"
"One must simply drink!"
I will kill you if you make a sound.
Walk straight ahead.
Knock!
To top it all a secret code!
If any hand reaches out to his weapon.
He will end up as a corpse.
Hey, stop singing. - Kneel.
Kneel. - Stop singing.
Who is Bhavani here?
Huh?
Which one of you here has seen Bhavani?
What kind of sissy name is that... Bhavani?
Was he lying on his stomach as a baby when he was named?
Let me make it clear once more.
If any of you do something stupid in an attempt to retaliate.
I'll sign on your man's Adam’s apple, got it?
'Try your luck flinging another bottle?'
You know Bhavani very well.
Will you go and repeat this to him verbatim?
Bhavani... Bhavani.
A man walked right into your den, Bhavani.
Repeat.
No, you tell me. I'll convey it.
No, you are scared.
'Listen, I might as well tell all of you.'
The day you killed those two boys in the Observation Home and hung them.
I hung my head in guilt and died.
I'm least bothered about myself hereafter.
Branding those juveniles with a tattoo,
and making them do your dirty work.
I have put an end to it.
From now on, anyone wants to do anything using,
the boys as lambs for the slaughter,
has to kill me and then go ahead but that has a slight hitch.
I will kill a minimum of ten of you and only then breathe my last.
Be it Bhavani or Banumathi!
Will you go and tell him word by word?
Come, get up.
Close the door.
Who threw that bottle at me?
Come here.
No, Bhavani.
I aimed it at him.
I thought the pen would fall and you will be able to escape.
But it missed and...
Hey! Lazy lout. Open the door.
Just touch us again!
Where are you? I'll show you!
I'll kill you. Where are you?
Open the door! -Yes, brother.
You will harm Bhavani?
What do you think of yourself?
Brother is calling you.
Come here.
What are you doing? - He locked us in.
He was holding a knife to my neck for an hour.
What were you doing then?
Bhavani, that wasn't a knife,
it was a pen. - You knew it, huh?
How will he open the door if you yell after he has left?
Shall we pen him a letter?
'Sir, please open the door.'
Don't hit me, Bhavani.
Who can draw very well here?
Master, he is our best artist.
He's the madcap who doodles foul stuff all over,
the toilet and the walls, master.
'Hi master.'
I believe you came to my den.
Threatened a man with a pen,
and conveyed an important message. to Bhavani.
I am that Bhavani.
'Greetings!'
By destroying all that I own, textile shop, hotel, wine shop.
What did you think? 'He is himself a criminal,'
'You assumed I wouldn't go to the police, right?'
Your assumption is correct.
But thinking you will make a fool of me was wrong.
'I enquired about you.'
I believe you have a big gang of ardent fan followers.
'Which one of them can I finish off? I asked my boys to choose from.'
The boys suggested, let's kill them all.
'Let me give you a task. Take a pen and paper.'
List out your favourites in alphabetical order.
Hey, Bhavani!
Don't ignore the girls and kids thinking I'll be soft on them.
Include their names as well.
'Write and call each one of them.'
And then... master?
Uncle! - What happened master?
Give me the phone.
'Hello?'
Why did he hang up on me? - 'Must have got scared.'
Got very emotional I guess!
Why do emotional men get so hyper and angry?
Here. Take this phone.
Pick... Pick up my call!
Pick up.
Hi! Tell me JD. - Where are you?
I'm just leaving my office.
Are you safe? - Yes, I am. What's the problem?
'Listen to me. Don't step out.'
Hey, what's wrong. Tell me?
Come on, pick up. Pick up! Pick up!
Sir? - Where are you?
Just a minute. - 'I hope you are safe?'
'Yes, sir, what happened?' - Listen.
Check if the students of our batch are safe, okay?
Okay, sir. - 'Hello, Malini, where are you?'
'We are at home, JD.'
What is it? - 'Stay at home, don't go out.'
Listen, JD called me.
'Looks like there is a problem.'
'He told us not to step out.'
Guys, don't step out of your house. Most important, avoid road travel.
'In case you are out,'
'go to any house or shop nearby or any safe place.'
'JD sir, called just now, I think there's a major problem.'
Look, if you all are safe, then post a message on Facegroup,
stating, I'm safe. Okay?
Hey, park the bike.
'Almost everyone in the group texted they are safe.'
But we couldn't reach Bhargav and Savitha, sir.
Don't swerve too much to the right.
Careful!
Hello?
I am safe...
Vanita, where are you?
In a mall nearby. What happened?
Is Prem with you? - 'Yes.'
He has gone to fetch my purse from the car...
'Vanita, what is it?'
'What happened, Vanita?'
'Vanita, talk to me.' What is it?
No!
Vanita!
'Where are you?' - At the theatre, why, sir?
Hey, Shri, are you alright? - What happened, sir?
Shri? Shri?
Shri. - Sir!
Shri! -Sir!
Shri!
Hey! Get out!
What happened? - Savitha, go!
'Bhargav.'
Bhargav!
'Bhargav!'
'Sir!'
Sir!
They killed Bhargav, sir.
Master?
How many wickets down?
'According to the news I received,'
Two wickets down, two retired hurt.
If you insist on supporting those boys then,
you will lose four wickets daily.
'I have never forgiven anyone who has crossed my path till date,'
This is my first time and I forgive you.
Just quit your job, do an about turn and disappear from this town.
'Otherwise, the ones who escaped today will die tomorrow.'
And, this will go on.
They will keep falling like ninepins.
Thank you and goodbye.
Hey... Hey! Master... Master.
'The main reason I called you,'
I didn't lie face down when I was named, it seems,
I was on my back lying like a king.
- Hey! - 'Yes?'
Hey! - 'Yes?'
You! I will not spare you!
Thank you. Goodbye!
Take care of them just for today.
I'll be back soon.
Don't worry, you go.
'I will ensure the safety of these boys.'
Move it!
Hey, move it! - Das!
He is not coming. - Drag him here.
Hey, come on! - You!
Move it!
Hey, leave him. Let him be.
Come on!
Come on, drive out the truck.
Let the kids go. Leave them!
Let the children go.
'Hello, sir. I'm Raj speaking.'
'Das and his boys have locked us in here.'
'He has taken the boys who turned approvers,'
'in a truck somewhere, sir.'
'We don't know what to do. Please come soon, sir.'
'Yes, Vanita?'
'This is not the end of the world for us.'
You have gone out of your way for these boys. Enough!
I have informed the higher authorities.
They said they would be here soon.
"One tight slap, and the mouth bleeds."
"Then come the tears."
"Come here master!"
"You will receive our things."
Sir, pick up the stick.
Let the rules go to hell.
I will manage everything.
First, you give them a solid dose.
Hold this.
"Then flow the tears! Come here, master!"
"You will receive our things."
"We will start falling once you leave." - Master!
Back again?
What is it? Huh?
Plan to hit us? Go ahead.
Come here.
Do you think you have achieved something great?
Good!
Huh?
Bhargav!
He is dead.
Bhargav created more trouble,
in college than all of you put together.
He is dead now!
If a real rowdy reforms and just,
when he wants to lead a good life, if he dies...
Do you know it is the height of cruelty?
The faith people around him have to turnover, a new leaf will vanish.
Oh, my God!
Master has started preaching to us.
Ignore them, brother.
Why do you treat them on an equal footing with you?
These scoundrels will die, but they won't change.
Stop it! Who will reform?
When have we treated them with respect?
Or given them time, a place or an opportunity to reform?
They mature the minute they are born!
Then how will they remember their family or tender love and care?
Family and society alienate them.
If everybody shuns them how will they reform?
Come here.
What?
The first crime by many boys here is based on an emotional quotient.
Affection, betrayal, anger, or a rush of adrenalin.
Each with a reason.
But after the first time.
You know what instigates you to commit,
every crime you pile on to your account?
Intoxication!
I can bet on this.
All other crimes after your first,
were committed when you were not in your senses.
Why? Don't you drink?
Oh! Yes, sir.
Only a drunkard can talk of how it ruined his family.
Only because of my addiction,
two boys lost their lives. And, I got that into my thick head.
I quit drinking.
'Hey! Don't be a drama king, master!'
Am I brewing liquor at home?
Blaming the buyer instead of the seller!
That's exactly what I'm saying.
This intoxication is a political game.
You are not yet eighteen. You can't watch an adult film.
A security guard stands out to push you out, right?
Why is no one standing guard outside a wine shop?
How do 10 -15-year-olds get hold of a bottle and cigarettes?
Politics!
Bhavani is moving his pawn and playing this kind of politics.
When the law is against child labour.
That beast is forcing the same boys,
into nefarious activities.
What is this?
What is it?
Like bribing you to vote and you end up with an inked finger.
He gives you freebies and brands you with a tattoo.
He has bathed you in basic amenities providing free food and clothing.
This is it!
Enough of this atrocity!
You have packed those boys,
who believed they have a good future into that truck.
I don't know if they will hang from a fan or be run over by a tyre?
But yes...
I will save them!
Every single one of them.
What did he say?
He will kill all those who like me?
Hey!
There are zillions outside who like me,
mind, body, heart and soul!
Ask him to try his luck.
'Brother, Bhavani has loaded the documents,'
'and money bags in to his lorries.'
'He is planning to cross the border tonight.'
'The boys are in one of the trucks, brother.'
Bhavani.
All forty lorries have crossed the border.
They are expected anytime now.
Those boys?
Das is bringing them in the container.
You! Just you wait!
Come on!
Finish her off!
Vanita... Vanita!
Run over her.
Vanita.
Vanita, take the wheel.
Come... Come.
Bang his car and kill them.
Come... Come.
'Stop... Stop!'
If those fifteen boys turn approvers,
whom will they point their fingers at?
Das of course!
They have never met you, Bhavani.
What if Das turns approver?
Your name, Bhavani.
Then kill Das.
Hmm. Come on. Move it!
Do you want him to kill me out of your sight?
Your words came to my mind.
'I will give my life for you!'
Give it now.
I thought of you as my own elder brother.
What? - I regarded you as my brother.
Even I thought of you as my very own younger brother.
What do you want me to do?
Where are the boys?
Where are they?
Hey! Go and look in the container.
Go... Move it.
Bloody...
Let's see who wins. You or me?
Das, listen to me.
Listen to me! Just listen!
Hear me out.
An oral statement,
by all those boys point a finger at you.
They don't even know the name Bhavani.
And Bhavani knows that.
Think about it.
Will he kill all the boys?
Or kill the one they are pointing fingers at, which is you?
You deserve to die. - In one swift blow, I'll...
But that is not what I am here for.
Let's stop with the lives already lost.
I'm repeating this like a broken record,
Bhavani is very clever.
He won't kill the boys. You are his target.
Listen to me once. Only this time.
Ask him if you can bring the boys in front of him, he will say 'no'.
Continue to ask.
You will see Bhavani's true colours.
If this doesn't happen...
I am all yours to kill.
"Master."
"They call me... master."
"You know me... master."
"I am master the blaster."
"Master."
"They call me... master."
Welcome, master.
This is the first time we are meeting, right?
Loaded with emotion, huh?
My dear master!
Bhavani isn't just a name!
It's a kingdom I created for myself.
You can't create a world record with your overnight lesson.
If he was sharing his pearls of wisdom,
what about the mud between your ears?
Did you carry that boy on your waist?
Did you think they are kids?
They are killers of the worst kind.
I have already given you too much time.
Still, I'll give you two minutes.
If you can kill...
Master, why did you hit me in mid-speech?
Didn't you ask for it?
Come.
Is this all the force you can muster?
Master!
Hey!
You are very stubborn.
'Master! Master!'
'Master! Get up, master.'
Job done and dusted.
'Lord, pardon this sinner.'
Don't!
Hey! I am fighting here for your sake.
So, your hands don't grip a knife once again!
Your mind should not go back to its old ways.
I am fighting for your cause.
Not one...
Not even one of you should raise his hand.
Step back.
Move back!
"Oh, master, come to my den, if you don't, I'll force you then."
"Let me break your bones, till you stop breathing."
'How was it?'
You are teaching a lesson even when you are about to die?
Is this your last lesson, master?
'Come.'
Shall we have it this way?
Huh. - 'Master! Master!'
'Master!'
'Master! Master!'
'Hey, are you scared?'
'Master!' - Thrash him, master!'
'Master! Master!'
'Beat him, master!'
'Master! Master!'
'Yeah! What a blow!'
Hey... Hey! - Master.
Take the boys to the truck. - Okay, master.
Hey, Das.
Bhavani! Bhavani!
"Come, my dear, raw banana 'bajji' for you."
"I will tear your body to tatters, and serve as golden fritters."
"Come, my dear, raw banana 'bajji' for you."
"I will tear your body to tatters. and serve as golden fritters."
Master... Master... Wait.
Sit down.
Master!
The problem will not end if you kill me.
I asked a man when I was just eighteen.
This is the same request I'm asking you.
Let me live.
I will do anything for you.
I won't harm those boys.
You are the one who turned,
those innocent children into criminals.
One...
Only one year.
You were let into that Observation Home,
and you have progressed so much in life.
If you are punished and sent to jail imagine,
what you will do to this town?
I'll get into politics.
I'll start a party.
Will you join me?
Master!
What?
Job done!
"Let me sing a short story. Pay attention, listen to me."
"If you want, take it or else don’t stress, leave it, baby."
"Life is very short, buddy."
Master. - Who is that?
The boys are in the truck, master.
Come here. Sit down.
Sit.
Shall I surrender instead of you?
Won't you understand till the very end?
Each person has to endure the punishment,
according to his crime.
Madcap! - No.
I feel I should do something for you.
Tell me if you have a family.
I'll take care of them till you are back.
I overheard the children in the reformatory saying,
you loved a girl it seems,
a girl from an affluent family, already engaged to someone.
Shall I go and talk to her?
Maybe I can share my epic story!
Listen, my dear boy.
My name was not JD then.
Jack Daniels.
People called me 'Jack'.
I used to draw well.
Good at a game of cards.
In such a game, a friend and I won two tickets.
You would have seen everyone run to catch a bus or train.
But imagine we ran and caught a ship about to leave the dock!
Huh?
That's where I set eyes on her for the first time.
Her name was Rose.
What did you say her name was?
Rose.
Rose... Jack.
Listen to my love story.
After I fell head over heels in love with her, I found out,
she's already engaged.
After that, as we were sailing smoothly...
The ship hit an iceberg on the way?
How do you know that?
I'll wait outside, master.
Listen to my full epic love story. - No need, it's okay, master.
'Since manipulation of boys into crimes,'
'by anti-social elements was proved.'
'With the aid of proper evidence,' - Thank you sir.
'that specific Govt. Reformatory was shut down permanently.'
'Of the 63 inmates, those above 18 were sent to Central Prison.'
'And those below eighteen were sent to other Govt. reformatories.'
Put your fingerprints on the register.
Here, right here.
Go inside.
What is the crime you are serving a term for?
Baby face, partner. Must be a gigolo.
Look at his face. He looks like an addict!
Juveniles of Nagercoil in that Bhavani case.
I heard they were seven. Only six are here.
The baby face is here. The handsome face is missing.
Where is your master?
Must have been sent to Vellore jail.
It's even more convenient, partner.
We go to Vellore in ten days. We will finish him there.
Then we will meet your master in Vellore.
Transfer only after ten days, huh?
Are you here till then? - Why?
Drag that 'beedi' deep into your lungs.
This is the last 'beedi' you will smoke.
Is he that great?
We have seen too many like him!
You may have seen notorious prisoners.
But guess who is coming now?
Master!
"Master is coming! Move aside!"
"Move aside!"
"Master is coming! Move aside!"
"He is the master!"
"If he notices something fishy,"
"The culprits' body will be found in pieces."
"So, don't talk too much!"
"And don't act too smart."
"Say it again!"
"Hey! Say it again!"
"Brother..."
"Master is coming! Move aside!"
