(cop) The man who took the kid got hit by a truck and died.
We will enquire about him and let you know.
- Be careful now. Here. - (Mudhra) I need to go to my mother.
Please be cautious and look after your child.
Thank you.
Why thank me?
They saved them. You must thank them.
Come here. Don't cry.
Thanks a lot.
Come on.
You should be happy that you got your child back.
Don't use such big words.
- Come, let's go. - I want to go to my mother.
- (cop) All right - (Vakkeel) Come on, let's go.
- I'm glad we found her. - Let's go.
Thanks a lot, sir. See you, sir.
Why are you crying? Come here.
- Fine, fine. - (Mudhra) I want my mom.
Don't cry.
If I knew who kidnapped her, I'd have snapped his neck.
Don't cry, dear.
Ganesan.
It's my brothers.
What are you saying, Mallika?
(intriguing music)
(Mallika) My native town is Kanyakumari district.
I have two older brothers.
After our parents passed away, we didn't know where to go.
A traditional medicine clinic provided us with free meals.
(man) Okay, doctor. I'll see you.
Hey, look, the doctor has so much money.
(doctor) Wait.
Get up! Get it!
- Let's go in! - (ominous music)
- (woman) They're stealing the money! - Run! Run!
(woman) Catch them! Catch them!
(doctor pants)
(Mallika) Both my elder brothers grew up into thugs.
I grew up at the traditional clinic under the guidance of the master.

Hey! I am the next MLA.
I'll kill you! Be warned.
Thamburan anna, let him take it.
Keep quiet.
I will take care of him.
Child, we are going to Tirupati.
Can you give us a donation?
We are going to Tiruparapu for a dip in the holy waters.
- I'll give it once I'm back tomorrow. - (man) Lady!
You don't visit our Goddess Kanyakumari's temple that is nearby,
but you want to go to Tirupati?
You just use God's name as an excuse. Here, take this.
- Go on. - Bless you.
Tell me, Kaathadi.
The political party guy is going to Tiruparapu for a holy dip.
- Tiruparapu? - Yeah.
We'll handle it.
(water gushing)
(car engine rumbling)
- (knife slashes) - (man groans in pain)
(Mallika) They became thugs for a politician.
Drive! Drive!
(joints cracking)
(intriguing music ensues)
- (Thamburan) Barani? - Hmm.
- Who is he? - This is AJ.
- Oh. - He is the one who killed Masi.
His brother has gone to prison for the murder he committed.
I've informed our people inside to keep him comfortable.
Hmm.
You said that he'd be the next MLA.
But he is looking at pictures of women.
Women are his weakness.
He is a pervert but a coward.
(Barani) Hey, she looks amazing! Ask her to come.
Okay, I'll be back.

- (AJ) Where's Neela? - (girl) Welcome, anna.
Neela, your brother is here.
- Is he here? - Come.
Anna.
Where you have been all these years, anna?
I got married, but my wife passed away.
I've to take care of my kid.
You don't have to stay here anymore.
- Come home. Invite your aunt. - Aunty, come home.
Hmm.
(bike horn blares)
(Mallika) Since my brother had called me after all those years,
I went there happily.
- This is my younger sister, Neela. - Hmm.
- Is this my younger sister-in-law? - Yes.
Where is Durai anna?
Durai has gone out of town for work.
He will come back after a month.
Hmm.
When I went to his house, I was happy I had a family.
For the business that we're in, it's not safe for your kid to be here.
So, I'm thinking of sending Arun abroad for his education.
I'll be happy if my son goes abroad to study.
Let him go.
(riveting music)
(Neela) Have some tea.
She's so hot!
She is my sister, Neela.
Aunty, I'll come with you.
Is it tasty?
Hmm!
Neela, turn off the gas.
- Neela, get ready. We have to go. - Where to?
Barani's hand is stiff. He needs to be treated.
Take him to the hospital.
- Why are you taking her to his house? - Hey!
He gave us this house to live in rent-free.
Don't we have to show up for him when he needs us?
Not just that, but he prefers traditional medicine.

Is he home?
Go inside.

(grunts) Come here, dear!
Hmm.
I'm in pain.
Where is the sprain?
Right here.
(Barani hisses)
- Does it hurt here? - (Barani groans)
Hmm.
It's painful there.
(Barani groans)
(Barani) Ah!
- Go slow. - Does it still hurt?
(Barani) Yes.
- (Barani hisses) - Huh?
- What are you doing? - It hurts.
- Let go. - Why?
You can continue.
- (Neela) Anna, come here! - (Thamburan) Huh?
- Anna, come inside. - (Barani) Hey, darling!
- It's nothing. - (Neela) Let go!
(Thamburan) You're quite smart!
- Anna, look at what he is doing. - Hey! Why are you shouting?
This is why your brother brought you here.
Don't say a fucking word and lie down.
- Lie down. - (ominous music)

No worries.
All of them left.
They told me to drop you home. Come.

(grunts)
- What happened? - Damn moron!
Why are you hitting him?
- (Neela) What did you do? - What is it?
- (Neela) I will kill you. - Like hell you will!
- What did you do to her? - Hey!
I bought another house using her.
Will you pimp me out for a house?
- Yes! - Hear that, madhini?
- I am leaving. - Wait, girl.
- Where will you go? - You're the one who's wrong.
- What have you done? Are you out-- - Hey!
- Shut up, you bitch! - (Neela) Don't hit her!
- (AJ) I will handle her. - Madhini!
I'll kill you!
Hey!
You don't have to say I'm not your brother. I'll say it!
You're my sister!
I bought a house by pimping you out.
I am going to live well because of you.
You have to stay here! I'll kill you otherwise.
(grunts)
(car honking)
Neela.
The car has arrived. Get going.

I won't go.
- Get up and go! - (slaps)
- Don't annoy me! - (Neela groaning)
You have to do what I say! Go!
- (Neela gasps) - (riveting music builds)
Shall we go?
(music intensifies)
(Barani) Let's go.
(Neela exhales)
("Poongaatru Puthithaanathu" playing over radio)
- Do you like this song? - Hmm.
(chuckles) Me too.
- (car screeches to halt) - Neela, we have reached your place.
Hmm.
(Mallika) I couldn't escape from these people.
But the trips with Vargees gave me peace.
- Hey, the car is dragging! - (tyres screech)
I'm finding out today that I have a heart. Hey, watch out!
(Thamburan) Vargees!
Let's go.
(engine rumbling)
(kisses) Why not?
Hey!
AJ pimped her out to Barani
and found a place not just in Barani's heart but his dick, too!
- (car squeaks) - (tyres screech)
- (Thamburan groans) - (Neela gasps)
(Thamburan) You son of a bitch! How dare you hit me?
Watch what I do to you!
- (slaps) - (grunting and groaning)
How dare you touch her?
Shall I tell Barani?
(slaps) Bloody moron!
(Vargees) Please get in the car.
(Thamburan) Oh.
- So, it's gone that far? - (car engine starts)
(exhales)
- I like you. - (soft music)
No.
It won't work out.
Why?
Whom can I trust?
I'm not worthy of it.
I really like you.
But...
I can't do anything against my boss' will.
When the time is right, we'll leave this place.
I will take good care of you forever.
I promise.
(Mallika) I trusted Vargees who knew everything about me.
- (jarring music) - (metal gate opens)
Did the police beat you up?
No. Why?
You seem down.
Also, the SP has asked us to take out an important person.
If he is killed, Barani will become the MLA candidate.
We'll get good money out of it.
Who will get the money?
You will get the money.
I'll have to go behind bars again.
Why?
I will talk to AJ.
Why should you go back inside again?
We will find someone else to take the blame.
No, Thamburan.
I have to obey my elder brother's words.
He won't say it.
(tsks) You are doing so much for your brother.
Will he give up on you?
(chuckles) Would anyone like to stare at empty walls in jail every day?
Can you do it?
- Drive. Everything is for money. - (riveting music intensifies)
(car engine starts)
(thunder rumbles)
(Babu Raja on radio) My dear brethren!
Everyone says I keep switching parties because I'm greedy for power.
If I am really interested in power,
all I need to do is make a phone call to Madras.
Even after I was offered ₹20 crore and 20 seats,
I didn't sell my people out!
- AJ. - Hmm.
If you take out Babu Raja,
you will receive something that you never expected.
(scoffs) What?
You will pay an extra ₹10,000.
- What else? - (chuckles)
Barani has agreed to marry Neela.
Is it because of the murders I committed?
For his security.
If you can be his brother-in-law instead of his hitman,
Barani feels it would be better for him.
- So, he has agreed to marry her. - All right.
AJ, your good times have begun.
Consider the job done.
(intense music)
Hmm!
(rain pattering)
- Master. - Sir, I've checked him. No worries.
- You can talk to him. - (bike engine whirrs, tyres squeak)
Hey!
(chaotic chatter)
Catch him, catch him!
- (bike engine rumbling) - (Rajadurai) Go, go! Don't stop.
They are following us.
Get down. Let's escape!
Hey, come on!
Run!
(man) Get them!
- (metal slides out) - (men grunting)
Hey!
Hey, who are you guys?
(groaning)
(AJ) Get him!
(grunting and groaning)
- Let's go! - (knife hacks)
Hey!
Motherfucker!
Sir, sir! Hey!
(water trickling)
(panting)
Four of our men went that way. We'll go this way.
(man) Let's go check!
Someone is running there. Come on!
(thunder rumbles)
(suspenseful music)
(Rajadurai whispers) Sir, he is hiding behind the wall.
Hurry up and catch him! There.
(AJ) Let go of me! You don't know who you're messing with!
- (police) We know quite well. Come now. - (AJ) Let go!
- (police) Get in the vehicle! - (AJ) Let go!
(eerie music builds)
- (thunder rumbles) - (music intensifies)
(Rajadurai) Aye, Vargees, stop!
Listen to me! Stop!
Hey!
- Thamburan, everything is ruined. - What happened?
I got AJ arrested by the police, and Vargees witnessed it
and then he escaped.
What shall we do now?
He ruined it.
First, let's go from here. Drive.
(engine rumbling)
(phone ringing)
Hello, who is speaking?
Suba, did Vargees come there?
He took Neela to Barani's house a while ago.
What? She went with Vargees? Really?
Yes, why are you asking?
Is there a problem?
I will call you later. Hang up.
Where did they go?
Both of you run away somewhere.
Don't even come across me.
Or else, they will track you down through me and kill you.
Vargees, God bless you.
Please take care of her.
You are not just taking this girl with you.
You are carrying the burden of a feud.
Never ever get caught by them anywhere around here. Leave.
Anni, I will never forget this favour.
(Suba) It's all right, Neela. Go on now.
I'll forever be indebted to you.
Get going.
- Take her and leave. - Come, Neela.
(thunder roars)
(music fades off)
I order that the accused in Masi's murder be remanded for 15 days.
The SP has spoken to the Inspector
and asked that you be put under Masi's case instead of Babu Raja's case.
That's not all, since Babu Raja's case is in the spotlight now,
it is much safer for you to be in prison for Masi's case.
- (AJ) Do whatever you want. - Hmm.
- I need to get out soon. - (lawyer) We'll make it happen.
Hey, didn't Vargees come?
He is the one who got you caught by the police.
- We found out only in the morning. - (riveting intense music)
Also, he fled with Neela.
Barani has agreed to marry Neela.
Motherfucker! Were you sitting on your ass while it happened?
We are searching for them.
Koothaar is on one side, Kaathadi is in search of the other.
There is a rumour that they may have fled to Mumbai. They--
Shut up, you motherfucker! Fucker wants to talk now!
Take out that treacherous son of a bitch!
For how they've betrayed me, those bastards need to be decimated!
When I get out, those two shouldn't be alive.
Master, don't you worry.
- We will take care of everything. - (AJ grunts)
(music intensifies)
What do we do now, Thamburan?
If Vargees and Neela tell the truth to AJ, our lives will be at risk.
We should take them out before that.
We shall. Hmm.
(Mallika) He and I started our life together.
Our life was happy without anyone's knowledge.

Hello!
- Anni, this is Neela. - Hey, tell me!
Are you well? You're alone, right?
Yes, Neela. How are you?
Where are you now?
I am good, anni.
- I am going to have a baby, anni. - Oh, wow!
I need your blessings.
- I'm glad to hear it! - Hmm!
I'm just sad I'm not there.
Your blessings are enough!
If I have a girl, I will name her after you.
You are my only hope, anni.
Don't you worry.
- I am always with you. - I know.
Okay, where are you now?
I'm near Rajapalayam. It's a place on the way to the Neerkathan temple.
As soon as I get to the hospital, I'll let you--
Seems like someone is coming. Call back later.
All right, bye.
She is near the Neerkathan temple near Rajapalayam.
He got your brother caught by the police,
and then Vargees tricked me and took Neela away.
Bastard. We must finish him.
I will take care of the rest.
That bastard is going to die.
(ominous music)
- (music fades out) - Where were you?
You haven't been home since morning.
My grandmother has a piece of land in Vanadesam.
I was looking for someone to lease it.
Once the baby is born, we can use that money to go to Mumbai.
Why lease it?
Can't we do the farming ourselves?
If your brothers get to know that we are here,
they will not let us live.
(intense music)
I spoke to my sister-in-law on the phone now.
What did you say?
I told her that we are going to have a child.
And then?
She asked where we are.
I told her we were in Rajapalayam.
Come, we need to leave this place right now.
- Come! - Why? What happened?
I heard the news that Rajadurai had told everyone that I got AJ caught.
- Now, they will come looking for us. - (riveting music)
- You could've told me this earlier! - (Vargees scoffs)
I wouldn't have told my sister-in-law.
If I had told you earlier, you wouldn't have believed it.
Rajadurai is the one who got your eldest brother caught by the police.
It is not me.
Let's get out of here at once. Come on!
- Come on! Quick. - Okay.
(tense music ensues)
Go.
(gasps heavily)

When we're born as women in this world,

Once Dasara gets over,
we'll talk to your brothers and sort these things out.
Don't be scared, Mallika. Don't be scared.

What had they beaten up inside the sack?
Anna, I was worried that they had done something to the little kid.
In the end, it was a dog in a sack that was run over by a car.
I opened it and it stank!
My gut couldn't take it!
- (tailor) Oh, my! - Goodness!
- Are you done stitching? - It's done.
(machine whirring)
(Kaathadi exhales)
Swetha, my dear.
Go and serve them another round of tea.
I have already served tea to them four times, Amma!
Appa isn't home yet.
- I am scared. I won't go. - Hey--
(girl) She doesn't have to go. You go serve it.
(glasses clang)
- It's all right. - Here.
No.
- Here. - We've been idle here since morning
and have had tea four times.
We thought your husband would get here with the money
and that we could do the engagement. We've wasted our time waiting!
It's not like that.
Please don't say that.
He said that he'll be here in the morning but isn't here yet.
That is reasonable!
It's fine if he isn't here.
Put the money on the plate, and we'll get the engagement done after.
It's not about that.
- We'll get the money only if he comes. - Hmph!
Then, let's do the engagement once the money is here.
- Come on, let's go. - Madam.
- Why are you saying that? - (sombre music)
Please don't go.
He will be here anytime now.
- Wait. Ma'am. - Move.
I am pleading with you so much, aren't I?
(gasps and sniffles)
Hey!
Stay with Swetha. I'll be back.
(girl) Okay.

Vembu is here!
Hmm? Hmm!

- (Vembu) Vakkeel. - What is it?
The sky is closing up with dark clouds.
What should I do about it?
It will be nice to play the music and dance along as an oracle.
After Dasara, you guys will hand me your contributions and leave.
Will it be enough for us?
We can meet our expenses only if we stop the rain and collect donations.
- What's the problem? - Ganesan.
Listen to what he's suggesting.
Hey, the sky is cloudy all over.
We can get things rolling only if we tie the coconut.
Vembu anna, why are you getting angry?
You need someone to do the coconut-tying ritual, don't you?
(Vembu) Yes!
Vakkeel is a son vowed to Goddess Muppadathi Amman.
- (Vakkeel) What? - If he ties the coconut,
the Goddess will make sure he isn't harmed.
- (Vakkeel) He threw me under the bus. - Mookandi, go and get the coconut.
Then what about water for the fields?
- My life is at stake here. - It will come.
Just like how MLA Appavu used a motor to supply water to every street,
the water from the river Thamirabarani will reach your fields.
- (festive music playing) - (bells tolling)

- (Mookandi) Here. - Huh.

Please don't punish me.

We've kept a watch on her.
We will let you know once we finish her.
I feel at peace after knowing that motherfucker Vargees's kid is dead.
(Rajadurai) Me too.
For how they betrayed me, don't spare Neela.
- (Rajadurai) I will not. - (Thamburan) Hmm.
The words that my father spoke have come true after all these years.
Come out soon.
The election is coming up.
Hmm.

I want to move away from here. Grant me permission.
My child and I don't have anyone.
Stay by my child.
Uh-uh.
Don't be scared.
I will take care of your child.
This is my child from here on.

- (music fades out) - (train horn blares)

- Hello. - Sir, this is Vathiyar.
Yes, tell me.
Before I could reach Vanadesam,
Koothaar abducted the child, got hit by a truck and died.
The child has escaped.
I called the SI and told him.
They've taken the body for the autopsy.
Neela's child escaped?
Yes!
Locals saved the child and handed her over at the police station.
- (exhales) - I'll come there.
Okay, you can come back.
- (sombre music ensues) - (gasps)
- Son, is Koothaar here? - Ask inside. Go.
Koothaar is dead.
Neela's child escaped.
- Raghu. - Tell me.
- You have to do everything as told. - Okay.
I'll finish it and come back.
Ah, Durai is sending you to Ooty for your honeymoon.
Huh?
What are you saying?
What's the need for that?
Come on.
When AJ came to your wedding, he spoke so highly of you.
He said you've been with us for four years
and that you are good at your job.
All right.
Go carefully.
- Hmm. - (Rajadurai) Hmm.
(man) Sir, there's an issue.
What did you do? Did you send our goods?
(man) That's what I was going to talk to you about.
The police have captured our vehicle near Pannimadai.
There's trouble at the checkposts when we take the spirit.
- Can you have a word with the SP? - Hey!
We'll solve it right on the spot.
- Son, did my husband come here? - (tense music)
My daughter's engagement did not happen.
Koothaar said that he'll be back in the morning, but he's still not here.
Where did he go? Tell me.
Koothaar is dead.
(tense music rises)
(gasps softly)
- (tsks) - (Kaathadi) What?
(gasps) How did he die?
He was hit by a truck.
All right, give me the money.
I have to get my daughter married.
Your husband did not kidnap or kill the child.
Then, how can I give you money?
Let's think about the money next year.
Why did you send him to kill the child?
Our job ends with finding those people for you.
It is your job to kill.
I said that I would give money to kill the child.
He didn't, did he? So, there's no money.
Get out.
Aye, don't make me curse you!
I am already mourning here.
You better give me the money.
As if you are some righteous woman!
- Watch what-- - Get lost, you bitch!
A woman's curse won't spare you.
I will hide Koothaar's death and get her married right away.
- Ask him to give the money. - Hey, throw her out!
Get out! Buzz off!
I'm telling you. Get out!
You didn't do what I asked you to do and are now annoying me.
(huffing and sobbing)
What happened, Kaathadi?
I haven't seen Koothaar around.
What is it, Kaathadi?
Didn't Koothaar come?
Why is she not replying? What could it be?
(sobbing and crying)
(sombre music)
(shopkeeper) Why are you crying?
He won't...
He won't come back.
- He will never come back! - (voice echoes)
(music fades off)
(man) Please ask for anything you want.
Hey, Michael Jackson, don't take it from Vakkeel. He bites!
Can we eat at their house?
Once we start fasting wearing prayer beads for Mutharamman,
we all are equal.
Only when you see them as equals, you get the blessings of the Goddess.
Hey, just keep quiet and eat.
- Let it go, Vembu anna! - Fine.
(man 2) Hey, Senthil, ask for what you want and have it.

It's the Vanadesam Dasara troupe.
They have been staying at the same house for the past ten years.
I've thoroughly asked around.
Neela will come there.

VANADESAM
(anklets jingling)
Why are you wearing prayer beads?
My prayer is going to be fulfilled, that's why.
(Ganesan) Hmm. Quite clever.
Here, give this to Mookandi.
Buddy, here is the money you asked for.
Buddy, I will take it after Dasara.
One can postpone bad things.
But a good deed has to be done immediately.
Take it, buddy.
- Thanks a lot. - Hmm.
(Vembu) Get in carefully.
- Mookandi, take care of everyone. - I will.
- (music stops playing) - (anklets jingling)
Go safely.
Take care of the child.
Mudhra, you should be with your mother.
- Okay. - Don't get lost in the crowd.
I will come in the next van.
I want to go to my mom.
(Mallika) Do you want to come?
Here.
Bama, when Mallika carries the fire pot, you take the kid.
- (Bama) I know. - Don't give her to anyone.
- Okay. - Okay?
Hmm, I will take care of that.
Reach there on time.
- Okay, we will. Go safely. - (Mookandi) See you, buddy.
- (Pannimadan) Lift it up. - Close it.
- (people) Om Kali! All hail Kali! - Lift it.
(Mookandi) Don't hurt your hand.
(people) Om Kali. All hail Kali!
Go safely.
Om Kali! All hail Kali!

- Hey, Thamburan. - Hmm.
Once my brother is out of prison, don't spill everything to him.
Why would I blab to him?
Vargees knew the truth, and he's dead.
All who are left is Neela and her child, right?
(exhales)
I get enraged when I think of them.
(eerie music builds)
I don't know what to do.
Hey, we must review again if our plan is intact.
We've covered all the bases and have completely finished everything.
AJ cannot meet anyone in jail without our approval.
The jailer is in our pocket.

Ta-da!
It's a nuptial thread.
Ganesan and I are getting married tomorrow.
Why are you in such a hurry?
With no wedding hall or invitations?
Hmm? It's Ganesan and I who are getting married.
When I get pregnant, we'll share the news with everyone with sweets! Hmm?
You might as well have the child and tell us.
Keep waiting with your dropped jaw until then.

On our way to the temple, we've got a flat tyre.
Can't we watch the ritual of the demon being slayed?
We tied up the coconut to stop the rain.
So, the Goddess has left us stranded here.
- What else do we have to go through? - (metal tools clang)
(man) Look at what he is saying.
(Vakkeel) That is why I refused to tie up the coconut.
