(crickets chirping)
(Kaathadi) I asked you so many times what you are going to do.
You didn't tell me anything and look at how injured you are!
- (Nagini) Bear with it, Pannimadan. - Oh, mother! It hurts!
Hey, where is Mallika?
- (Nagini) Chandran, go quickly! - (Chandran) It got dangerous here,
so I put her on a bus to Vanadesam.
- (groaning) - Okay, go.
(Vakkeel) Kaathadi, do something.
Oh, my! What is this?
We came here to resolve the problem.
But everything is going wrong.
- I'm the reason for everything. - Bear with it for a while.
I shouldn't have tied up the coconut that day!
Aye! Don't you know what to talk about in this situation?
Coconuts and whatnot.
Aye, go to the hospital soon.
Don't go to a Kottar hospital. Go to a Thuckalay hospital.
(suspenseful music builds)
(man) All the equipment has arrived.
(cop) They regularly stay at this club, sir.
Someone new was here, and they fought.
One of Rajadurai's guys got stabbed in his neck
and is in a critical condition at the hospital.
(Muthupandi) Hmm.
Sir, Barani was with a girl in this room.
- Hmm. - He tried to escape while fighting
and ran out of this door.
That's when he tripped and got stuck on this transformer.
There are no other injuries on Barani's body.
How are you so sure about it?
The girl was present at the scene. She is our witness.
- Where is the girl? - She is at the police station.
(thunder rumbles)
- Send her home. - (cop) Yes, sir.
Get the rest of the information from the forensic report.
File the report saying that he tripped and fell after getting drunk.
- Okay, sir. - We must know who came here.
We are inquiring about it.
(music intensifies)
OBITUARY MR. BARANI
(honking)
- (chaotic chatter) - (bus squeaks, halts)
(glass shatters)
(people shouting in terror)
(men yelling)
(percussion instruments playing)
(riveting music)
(woman wailing) Oh, no!
(women sobbing)
(people wailing loudly)
- Thamburan anna. - Hmm?
Pandi is dead.
Pandi is no more.
(Barani's wife) They killed my husband!
- What are you going to do to them? - (funeral drums play)
(drumming intensifies)
(wailing continues)
(crackers bursting, drums playing)
A major gang has come into Nagercoil. Did you hear?
No, no. Rajadurai's sister herself is a big villain for him.
Barani had sexually abused her for a while.
- Oh. - So, she brought people from her town
and had him killed.
Who is the next MLA then?
Who else? It will be AJ.
If not him, who else is there? That's it.
(divine opening music)
(phone rings)
- Hello. - Vembu anna.
This is Vakkeel.
Tell me. What happened?
Just like you said, we almost lost our lives here.
We narrowly escaped death.
What are you saying?!
Pannimadan and I went to talk to Neela's people.
They pretended to agree at first and then tried to kill us.
We were on the brink of death.
We all escaped from there.
Nobody is hurt, right?
We all did get injured.
We sent Neela back to our town.
You guys didn't listen to me...
Okay, what's happened has happened.
We cannot arbitrate this with them.
All of you come back to town.
- We'll handle it. - Okay, anna.
(ominous music persists)
Here's the food.
Let her use the toilet. Untie her hands.
(Meena whimpers)
(coughs)
I beg of you!
Please let me go, anna.
I'm begging you.
I'll go and live far away.
Please let me go. You'll be blessed!
Are you going to use the toilet or not? Go if you have to.
Or we'll tie you up again.
(Uma) Not going?
(tense music)
(Panner) Go this way.
Go to the right.
Go.
- (music fades) - (water splashing)
(lock clicks, door creaks)
What does anna not have?
He told us, "Meena is like my queen. I'll take good care of her."
Think about it and let us know. Go.
I don't like this. I'll leave.
Please let me go.
- You'll be bless-- - Why are you going on and on about it?
Hey, let her eat.
Shut up, bastard!
Don't try to go back to your old life.
Be happy about the new life you're about to get.
If I were a woman
and he asked me to stand, I'd sit. If he asked me to sit, I'd lie flat.
Eat.
- (tense music) - Huh?
- (spits) - Yuck!
(exhales)
You fucking whore! You dare spit on me?
- Are you some virtuous woman? - (Meena groans, cries)
Won't you become his mistress?
Why are you making us beg every day?
She won't be a mistress apparently.
You fucking whore!
- Die, bitch! - Aye, beat the hell out of her!
- (Meena) You will never prosper! - Oh, she said it!
It's not like I'm prospering now!
(footsteps shuffling, water dripping)
(phone rings)
(beeps)
Hello?
- Anna, this is Panner. - Tell me. What happened?
Anna, she is not budging.
- She won't listen. - What did you tell her?
I told her you'd take good care of her and she'd live a good life.
I told her she'd enjoy wealth and luxury, but she won't budge.
Hello? Anna?
Tell her that I'll marry her.
- Huh? Really? - Yes.
I will make her agree in two days.
You better listen to anna!
Or else I will tie you up and throw you into the sea!
(suspenseful music)
(knife swipes)
(music turns tense)
(grunts)
Hmm.
- (footsteps receding) - (Uma) Panner.
Are you back?
(Meena gasps)
(music turns eerie)
(heavy breathing)
(knife swishes)
(knife clatters)
(Pannimadan) From the chest, all the way down.
Son, there are some clothes in this.
- Take a look at who is dead. - (paper rustles)
SMK PARTY CANDIDATE SUCCUMBS TO ELECTROCUTION ACCIDENT
- (Ganesan) Is he dead? - (Kaathadi) Yeah.
Thamburan, AJ, and Rajadurai, all of them work under him.
You guys killed the next MLA candidate.
I realise now that the Goddess is right beside us.
He tortured Neela.
That's why the Goddess electrocuted him brutally to death.
Some logic you have.
You did everything and are now blaming God?
Let's go from here first.
Yes, buddy. Let's go back to our town.
- Should we go back there to die? - (Vakkeel) Huh?
Rajadurai would've sent his men to your town to kill you all.
It's dangerous for you here in the first place. Go from here!
We need to shift base. Come on, let's go.
We will not leave this place until we kill Rajadurai.
(music intensifies)
If I'd known before that it was going to be about murder,
I'd have prepared you differently and sent you in there.
Differently how?
They are the ones who killed Babu Raja.
How can you expect justice from them?
It doesn't matter how big of a deal they are.
We won't spare their lives.
Why? Do all four of you want to die as well?
Do you even know what it is like to kill someone? Huh?
Have any one of you killed anyone before?
Uh-uh.
We are injured. How would we kill them?
While Neela was on her way back, she said that you were good people
and that you came here in a fit of rage.
So, she asked me to stay with you and look after you.
That's why I'm here.
Your enemy is now my enemy, too!
If you decide to kill someone, you should have a proper plan.
You need people you can trust.
You must have an escape plan.
Just like the ripples in the water when a stone is thrown into it,
the plan should be perfect.
(music gains)
What needs to be done for that?
We need money.
What's the need for money?
We should spy on people.
- Pay those who give us information. - (Vakkeel) Oh.
Not just that, you all have a lot to learn.
I will get the money.
Get things rolling, Kaathadi.
Hmm.
- Hey, get that. - Yeah (grunts).
(Kaathadi) Girl, get up. Come on.
(suspenseful music)
- (Mudhra) Hi, thatha. - Take your kid and leave quickly.
You shouldn't stay here anymore.
Go where? Why?
- What happened? - Barani died from electrocution.
- Our people were knifed. - (gasps)
- I just got word from them. - What are you saying?
You shouldn't be alone here anymore. They will come in search of you.
Come and stay in my house. Let's go!
- Give her to me. - Our people are safe, right?
They've got knife wounds and are in the hospital.
They narrowly escaped death.
- (rickshaw engine whirring) - You need to get going.
Come on, quick.
(crickets chirping)
- (door creaks) - The door?
(music fades)
I usually don't teach people to kill.
Since Kaathadi and you have been wronged, I agreed. Hmm!
- (grunts) - If we wield our knife,
- the enemy should be scared. - (Vakkeel groans)
(Pannimadan grunts)
When you see your enemy, you have to predict where to stab.
(groans)
You should look into the eyes of your opponent.
His hands might lie.
- Hack me. - (grunts)
You only get a couple of seconds to hack someone.
You should kill him in that time.
Or else, he'll kill you.
Shanmugham, take them along and train them.
(tense music)
(music fades)
AJ.
Neela is not dead.
She came with people from Vanadesam to the club to arbitrate things.
Rajadurai told me to kill her.
But the guys who came along with her got tipped off
and took her away safely.
Damn it.
In the altercation, Barani was electrocuted to death.
(riveting music)
Hmm.
(exhales)
All these years, as I was pulling the rope of the well,
I thought the pitcher would only bring up water.
But it has brought us a treasure now.
(eerie music)
It's good for us that Barani died.
(Rajadurai) Hmm?
The politics is in our hands now.
(chuckles) The people in town already say that you're the next MLA.
Why should my name come up?
- (Thamburan) Huh? - I am in jail now.
Rajadurai?
Who? Him?
Who will vote for his face?
The whole town knows what he has been doing since his early days.
Who contests in elections these days?
Teachers or political heirs.
People believe in them.
So, shouldn't we contest them?
We are not in the hearts of the people.
We're part of their fears.
If our faces are printed on posters, won't they spit on them?
We should select a good person from our side that people like.
Who?
The next MLA is my son, Arun!
This is my birthday present for him. (chuckles)
In two years, we should make people know Arun as a politician.
Okay.
But Barani's killers and Neela shouldn't be kept alive.
- (Thamburan) All right. - (AJ) Hmm.
(music intensifies)
(music fades)
(suspenseful music)
Rajadurai.
Everything has gone out of our hands.
We are the ones who should be in that position.
AJ has changed.
Let me tell you.
If Arun comes back here, you will become his servant.
- (metal clatters) - (vulture screeching eerily)
- (metal clanks) - (door thuds)
Anna, shall we go?
Start the car.
(engine starts)
(music fades)
(van squeaks to a halt)
(Kaathadi) Shanmugham, everyone is here.
- (man) Greetings, anna. - (Shanmugham) All right.
Hey, take everything off the corpse.
- Hmm! - (man) Hey, put the flame out.
The moment we brandish our knives, our opponents must be scared.
We shouldn't slash him in several places, enrage him
and get killed in the process.
The neck, chest and hip.
If you stab him there, he will die immediately.
Practise stabbing on this corpse.
This is a corpse. If you stab it, it will just take it.
A person who is alive won't be like that.
He will fight you. First, you should look at his eyes.
As soon as you see him, you must predict where the stab will kill him.
The opponent could be skilled in fighting.
If we focus, we can take the opponent out.
(man) Shanmugham, it's ready.
Finish it before people come here.
- (man 2) Here. - (knives swishing)
Hmm.
(intense music)
(eerie vocalisation)
Stab.
(knife pierces flesh)
(tsks) Stab!
(grunts)
That is not how you do it.
Hold it like this and shove it down.
- (grunts louder) - (Kaathadi) Hmm!
- (Vakkeel grunts) - Don't be scared.
- Stab with intent! - (knives piercing flesh)
- Keep stabbing. - (all grunting)
(grunting, slashing continues)
- (grunts) - (Bama gasps)
- (Mookandi groans) - (Bama groans)
(Shanmugham) These are the main veins. One stab and they'll be half dead.
(Vakkeel) Stab it!
Who are they stabbing at?
Whose corpse is that?
(man) He is a thug who murdered many.
(grunting, panting)
(music fades)
(suspenseful music builds)
(Suba) Why do you seem off?
My brother plans to have Arun contest for the MLA elections.
Why? Didn't you tell me that you were going to contest?
Things have changed.
My brother decides everything.
Do you know how many enemies we have right now?
My brother doesn't know that and wants a young boy to contest.
Okay, Arun doesn't have to contest then.
You could have told him that you want to contest, don't you?
My brother doesn't make a decision in a hurry.
He has already planned out what to make of his son.
I have to be at his mercy until the end.
Arun is not some other family's child.
He is our boy, isn't he?
He isn't actually my son.
If I call him "son," he will still call me "uncle."
(phone rings)
- Who is it? - It is Arun.
Don't tell him that his father wants to make him an MLA.
We can tell him in person once he comes here for his birthday.
Okay.
Hello, son, Arun!
- Hello, amma! - Tell me, son.
My ticket is confirmed.
- Dad is coming to the airport, right? - Yeah.
Your father will be here when you reach. Get ready.
(Arun) Okay, amma.
(eerie music)
Sure.
He will come to the airport to pick you up. (continues speaking)
BABU RAJA'S MURDER DON'T SPARE THE KILLERS
STRONG CONDEMNATION OF POLICE ARREST THEM!
Sir, they're from around Tirunelveli.
They are the ones involved in the Barani's case.
What's the motive?
Sir, Rajadurai's younger sister was in Vanadesam.
While trying to kill her, they ended up killing two of the townsfolk.
That is their motive, sir.
Haven't they been arrested yet?
Sir, Rajadurai is not involved in this directly.
Moreover, those guys haven't come to town yet.
The local police station informed me that Neela is not in town either.
(riveting music)
(music fades)
- (Rajadurai) You asked us to come? - Did you see those posters?
It is pasted on my house's compound, too.
Barani's death...
They are stirring up the Babu Raja matter, too.
Do they know we did it?
That won't come out.
But someone connected to us has done this.
We have to find out who.
You don't have to do anything. I'll take care of it. Just shut it.
Aye!
They've come to our town and killed two of our men.
And we shouldn't do anything?
You know who died, right?
I wasn't there at that time!
I won't let this go.
I have sent men to Vanadesam.
Do it then. We all will get caught together.
(Rajadurai) How so?
Why is he speaking nonsense?
So?
I was present there during the fight.
If we don't retaliate, they won't fear us anymore.
Neela has become arrogant that those Vanadesam people are behind her.
All right. I should arrest you two tomorrow in the Babu Raja case.
You won't be able to get out till the end of your life.
Does the one who pasted the posters know it's us?
Will someone who doesn't know dare to paste those posters?
They are opening up Babu Raja's matter and are up to something else.
For now, don't do anything to Neela.
If you still do something, I cannot support you.
(Rajadurai) All right. We won't do anything.
(Muthupandi) Get going.
(slashing)
(intense music)
(grunts)
(trainer) Get it in!
(grunts)
(grunting)
- Slice from an angle. - (grunts)
- No, stab and twist!
(grunts)
Cut it. Not like that. Pull back and stab with force.
(grunts)
(grunting)
- (metal clangs) - (fire crackling)
(metal clanking)
- (music fades off) - (hammer clanks)
(wood scraping)
(indistinct chatter)
(man) Here he comes.
(jarring music)
What are you looking at? Hmm?
Buzz off!
- Huh! - Aye!
(man 2) Huh, that's it!
(man) Come on.
Hey, they served better food in Palayamkottai jail.
Why is the food so sad here in Nagercoil?
(thunder rumbles)
(suspenseful music)
(music turns intense)
(water splashes)
(water splurging)
(water splashing)
(knife swishes)
(intense music)
- (grunting, groaning) - (punches landing)
(slaps, thuds)
(indistinct chatter)
(joint cracks)
(men shouting, punches landing)
(slaps)
(water splashes)
- (man) Hey! Go save him. - (man 2) Okay, anna.
- (man 2) Hey! - (man 3) Aye!
(chaotic chatter)
(siren wailing)
(cop) Hey, move!
(gunshots firing)
(music turns riveting)
(thunder rumbles)
I have taught you what you need to know.
Your life is more important than taking the opponent out.
If one of you gets caught during a fight--
We will not leave anyone behind.
Don't try to save anyone.
(Vakkeel) Then?
Escape while you can.
There needs to be people left to complete a revenge, right?
(knife swishes)
(music fades off)
(phone rings, button clicks)
- Hello? - Anna!
Once I told her you'd marry her, she agreed.
Really?
- Yes, of course. - (eerie music)
We'll bring her tomorrow.
Anna, we hit her in an attempt to make her agree.
She's a bit injured.
(tsks) It's all right. It is not easy to make someone accept it.
Nothing works as good as a couple of smacks do.
- Okay, anna! Come in the morning. - No, no!
- I'll come over at night. - All right, then.
Okay.
(button clicks)
- (sighs) - (music fades out)
(Nagini) Just a little.
(phone ringing)
- Hello. - This is Kaathadi.
- Okay. - Did you get information?
- Have you been to Kuzhivilai? - Yeah.
Rajadurai has a house over there. They're there.
- They're there? - Yes.
I know the place. I will go there and handle it.
- You'll get the money. Bye. - All right.
Ganesan, Durai's men are at Kuzhivilai.
It will be all right if we start now.
(tense music)
Meena, hereafter we will address you as our sister-in-law.
Please don't tell anna about us ogling at you or hitting you.
Forgive us, madhini.
We'll see.
Wait, madhini.
Come on! I will clean it.
You can wash your hands in this, madhini.
(water trickles)
(grunts)
I have agreed to it, right?
Then why the fuck are you tying me up?
Madhini, please let us do our job.
It's just until anna gets here.
Hey, take care of her.
Anna will be here. I will wait out front.
(Panner) Okay.
(gate screeching)
(metal clangs)
- (water sloshing) - (crickets chirping)
(Kaathadi) Turn right and wait.
(music fades off)
He mentioned that it was near this bus stand.
(van squeaks to a halt)
(intense music)
Ganesan.
You see that guy standing there? It's that house.
Nagini. All of you, get down.
Go.
(doors shut)
(knife swishes)
- (Nagini grunting) - (Pannimadan) Son of a bitch!
- Don't run, you son of a bitch! - (Nagini) Stop!
(Ganesan) Vakkeel, someone is inside the house.
(Vakkeel) Yes, I noticed.
Let's go unassumingly.
Ganesan, that way.
- (Ganesan) Wait here. - (Vakkeel) All right.
Ganesan, climb carefully.
(Ganesan panting)
(thudding footsteps)
(music turns eerie)
- (grunting, groaning) - (dramatic music ensues)
(joint cracking)
- (Vakkeel screaming) - (metal clangs)
(water splashes)
- (Uma panting) - (Pannimadan) Hey, you better stop!
(muffled screams)
- (metal squeaks) - (Vakkeel screams)
Where is he?
(metal clangs)
(both panting)
He escaped.
We looked everywhere but couldn't find him.
Get inside the van.
- He escaped somehow. - (horn honking)
(gasps)
Rajadurai is here!
- Hey, Chandran. - (Nagini) The one in that car?
Start the car immediately. Let's go.
Kaathadi, we'll kill him here. Get down!
Nobody should get down.
If Rajadurai is coming, his men will be right behind him.
Ganesan and Vakkeel are inside.
We don't know what happened there.
- What did he say that day? - Damn it.
Didn't he say that people need to remain to take revenge?
Chandran, start the car.
- All right. - (engine starts)
(gate clanks, creaks)
(gasping and grunting)
- (Meena) Die! - (metal thuds)
- You bitch, where are you going? - (Meena panting)
(knife slashes, blood squelches)
(gasps)
(engine rumbling)
Move.
- Hey, Vakkeel! - (Pannimadan) Vakkeel!
(Kaathadi) Run over here! Come on!
Get inside the car.
Kaathadi, Ganesan is inside.
Rajadurai is inside too.
We shouldn't stay here.
(grunts)
(ominous music)
(jarring beat)
Hey, Panner?
(ominous music continues)
(knife clanks)
(screaming)
(water sloshes)
(music fades off)
THAAI CINEMAS
What is your name?
Meena.
What is your name?
Ganesan.
Who are you?
Why did they have you kidnapped?
Fate.
(crying)
My husband died in a fight.
Those men kidnapped me.
They forced me to become their boss' mistress.
(sombre music)
(crying and sniffing)
Don't cry.
