(Rajadurai screams)
Hey!
Is anyone there?
(water splashing, gurgling)
Hey!
Can anyone hear me?
(screams echoing)
Hey, I can't take this. (moans)
(divine opening music)
(music fades)
(mellow music)
(cloth rustling)
(water gushing nearby)
(Meena) Hmm.
(car honking)
Yes, right here. Pull over.
- Come on. - (Pannimadan) Get down.
- (Chandran) I'll stay in the car. - (Pannimadan) All right.
- We have to go straight. - (Vakkeel) Let's go.
He has a lot of rashes.
I'll give you an unripe fruit.
Mix it with milk and apply it for three days.
- It will heal. - (man) Okay, sir.
- (doctor) Welcome, Kaathadi. - Yes.
- You're well, right? - (doctor) Yes, I'm well.
(Kaathadi) Sit down.
- Welcome. - These are my people.
(doctor) Have you told them about the poison?
You tell them.
Listen to what I'm saying carefully.
I never give this concoction to anyone so easily.
I'm giving it because Kaathadi recommended you guys.
This was plucked from a place where both humans and animals rarely go.
This is a poisonous concoction made from such a plant.
If this accidentally touches your mouth, eye or an open wound,
- that will be the end. - (Vakkeel) Hmm!
If you apply this poison to a knife and stab someone,
that person will have only one minute.
If you make that person waste a minute, he will die.
Keep it safe.
Kaathadi, be cautious.
(Vakkeel) Here.
(Kaathadi) Give it to me.
(riveting music)
It's open?
Huh?
- (Rajadurai gasping) - (water trickling)
- (metal swipes) - (eerie music)
(chain jingles)
(chuckles)
- (water splashes) - (groaning)
(Rajadurai echoing) Motherfuckers, is anyone around?
Come here!
Hey!
(shouting) Come here!
Someone bloody come here!
Hey, hey!
Hey, oldie! Bring a rope.
Go on! A rope! Get a rope!
Hey, oldie!
Are you deaf? Can you hear me?
(gasps)
(panting)
Go and bring someone!
- (music fades) - (buses honking, bikes buzzing)
- (phone ringing) - Hmm?
- Hello? - Anna, this is Ganesan.
- How are you? Are you fine? - Ganesan! Where are you?
I'm still in Nagercoil.
You're not harmed, right?
- I'm unharmed. I'm fine. - Okay, all right.
Did you get any information about Vakkeel and the others?
- Vakkeel called me. - All right.
He said they were going to meet a traditional doctor near Mayiladi.
Okay, anna. I will go to Mayiladi then.
- (Vembu) Okay. - If they call,
tell them that I'll be waiting near the Mayiladi bus stand.
(sombre music)
All right.
- I've found a lawyer on our behalf. - Is it?
All of you come back quickly.
Dasara is about to start.
Okay, anna.
We will all meet at Mayiladi and come together.
Until then, tell Neela not to stay alone in her house.
- It's already done. - Oh, is it?
I'm having her stay at different houses.
All right, anna. That's good.
Mudhra is now with the kids at my place.
- Don't worry. - Okay, anna. I'll hang up.
Okay.
(buses honking, whistles blowing)
Tell me which town you have to go to.
I'll get you on that bus.
Keep this for your expenses on the way.
Take it!
I can't go anywhere.
They will come searching for me.
They must already be on their way to my mother-in-law.
If I go to my mother-in-law as well, they will get hold of me again.
I'll come with you.
The situation isn't great here.
If you stay with us at this time, it's not good for you.
So, go wherever you think is safe for you.
I don't know where to go.
Don't leave me alone. I'm scared of everyone.
(contemplative music)
(bus honking)
ANJUGRAMMAM VIA MAYILADI
- (soft music) - (bus engine running)
(conductor whistles)
(vehicles squeak to halt)
(jeep door shuts)
(intriguing music)
(footsteps shuffling)
- All the papers are ready. - The documents are fine, right?
Greetings, SP sir.
(riveting music)
Why didn't the SP speak to you?
Well, they went to Kozhivilai, killed Panner and took Rajadurai.
- Oh! - That's why.
The SP kept calling me through the night to ask where Rajadurai was!
- Is that so? - I told him I didn't know.
He didn't believe me.
That's why he is walking away upset.
Is Rajadurai still not back?
(Thamburan clicks tongue, exhales)
(mumbles) Where the hell did he go?
(Judge) Proceed.
Sir, he was in jail all these years for a crime he didn't commit.
He hasn't been granted bail till now.
Since his son is returning from abroad,
I request the honourable judge to grant him bail.
Yes, public prosecutor. What do you say?
There are already a few murder cases pending on the accused, sir.
Also, he is one of the suspects in Masi's murder case.
If we release him in this situation, several violent incidents may occur.
Therefore, I request the honourable judge
to dismiss the bail application after deliberation.
Wrong, Your Honour.
When he went out on bail for his son's birthday last year,
he was well-behaved.
I humbly request you to take it into consideration and give him bail.
Sir, in relation to the scuffle he was involved in jail,
an affidavit issued by the prison authorities has been attached.
I request you to take that into account as well.
(suspenseful music)
On accepting the police's request and since the situation is critical,
the bail request has been denied.
The court orders that he will be put back in jail.
(music intensifies)
Sir.
Who tried to take me out in jail?
- What are you saying? - Yeah.
It... must be Babu Raja's men.
I told you already that they pasted posters all across town.
(AJ huffs)
Where is Rajadurai?
He is busy arranging for Arun's birthday party.
- Hmm. - (van engine starts)
(Rajadurai) Thamburan.
We should kill AJ in prison before Arun gets here.
If we keep him alive, it's dangerous for us.
(honks)
(car squeaks to halt)
- (Kaathadi) Watch your step. - (Vakkeel) Go in the front.
(Kaathadi) We don't know what happened to Ganesan.
(Vakkeel) We will know if we make a phone call to Vembu anna.
- Hold this. - Give it.
(Kaathadi) You seem to know all such places.
What can I do? My job is like that.
(man) I bought the food.
Here's the money.
Yeah, give it.
- Come on. - Let's go.
(Vakkeel) Where did you find him?
(Kaathadi) If you pay money, anything can happen.
Kaathadi, here.
Wizard, sit!
This place is a safe hideout.
Let's stay here until Ganesan comes.
Yeah. Get the food out.
(tense music ensues)
Those folks are here.
Is that old hag Kaathadi there with them?
I don't know who Kaathadi is, but there is an old woman with them.
Hey, come on! Let's go.
- Here. - Yeah.
(kids) Hey, don't run! Stop!
(kid 1) I'll go.
(water trickling)
(indistinct chatter)
(music intensifies)
Surround them and rip them apart!
(man) Aye, let's go!
These bastards came here too. Motherfuckers!
None of them should leave alive.
Let's rip these bastards' faces apart!
(Uma) Surround them.
No one should escape.
Go on!
(screams)
(Kaathadi) Hey, Vakkeel! Move away.
(Chandran) Watch out!
- (Kaathadi) Here! - (Pannimadan) Get the knives!
(Kaathadi) Slit their fucking throats! Don't let it get on your hands.
- (Pannimadan) Put it on! - (Kaathadi) Go now, quick!
(grunting, groaning)
(Chandran) Die!
(rousing music)
(Kaathadi) You fucking dare to slash your knife at us?
Motherfucker!
(music intensifies)
Hey, go inside!
(men grunting)
(grunting, knife swishing)
You fucking bastards!
Die, you son of a bitch!
(knife whizzing)
(Kaathadi) Rip him apart!
(screaming)
(Pannimadan) You're dead today!
(Nagini) Kaathadi, run away.
- (Kaathadi) Run! Run! - (Uma) That bitch is running.
Get them all!
- (Chandran) Hey, Pannimadan! - Kaathadi, run away.
- Die! - (knife pierces flesh)
You bitch! We're killers and you're trying to play tricks with us?
- Just die! - (Nagini sobbing)
(spits)
- Chandran, start the car! - Pannimadan, get in! Come on!
- Quick! Quick! (engine starts)
- (Vakkeel) Get in! - Move! Move!
- Drive fast! - (Kaathadi) He is coming! Step on it!
(Uma) You sons of whores! Stop!
Don't run away scared, you bastards!
Stop! You bastards!
(Vakkeel) We need to find a hideout soon.
We have to somehow save Nagini!
(music fades)
- Huh? - (eerie music)
Damn it!
(bus honks)
- (bus squeaks to halt) - (whistles)
(conductor) Mayiladi is here. Get down!
Let's go! (whistles)
(birds chirping, slippers shuffling)
(goat bleats)
(riveting music builds)
(faint groan)
(Nagini groaning)
Girl. Girl? Get up, child!
(gasps)
God knows who did this to her.
- (old man) Hey. - (woman) Tell me.
A girl was knifed there. Can you come?
(woman) Oh, no! I won't!
(old man panting)
A girl was knifed at the banana groves.
Can you come and save her?
(panting)
- (Ganesan) Where? - Right here, inside the field.
Nagini!
Who did this to you?
- Nagini! - (old man) Lift her up!
- (Nagini groans) - Nagini, where are the others?
Go and get an autorickshaw!
Get up!
Where are Kaathadi, Vakkeel and Pannimadan?
Can you hear me?
You're fine. Let's go to a hospital!
(solemn vocalisation)
(stretcher wheel squeaks)
(machine beeping)
(music fades)
- Vembu. - Tell me, Vakkeel.
Nagini was stabbed!
- She's trapped with the enemy. - What are you saying?
She was brutally stabbed!
We went there to hide.
There were around 15 people. They're out for blood.
We escaped.
- But Nagini got caught. - What? You left her behind?
We went back to save her, but she was not there.
Did Ganesan call you?
He said he was going to Mayiladi to meet you people.
If Ganesan calls, let him know we left Mayiladi and are in Nagercoil.
We're staying in a room at SK Lodge near Vadasery Bus Stand.
We will leave from here only when he gets here. Let him know.
Okay. Which lodge?
- SK Lodge. - Okay.
- (Ganesan) Sir, can we take her home? - This is a police case.
We have informed the police.
Someone from the police station will come in the evening.
We have nothing to worry about her now, right?
She will be fine with two weeks of rest.
- Okay, sir. - Take care of her.
- She is my friend. - Hmm.
We all belong to the same Dasara troupe that puts on disguises.
She's in this state now. I'll make a phone call and be back.
- Can you stay and look after her? - Hmm.
I'll be back. Take care of her.
- Hey-- - (Nagini whimpers)
Who killed him?
A Dasara troupe that puts on disguises.
(tense music)
(Meena) Are you feeling better now?
(Nagini) Yes, I'm better.
What happened on Dasara?
(swallows, gasps)
Every year we fast and wear prayer beads for Dasara.
It would be filled with dances, celebration and joy.
When we went last time, a guy and a girl from our troupe were killed.
We didn't know why they were killed or who did it.
(sobbing) The whole village has been in mourning since then.
If we knew who it was then, we'd have slayed them dead!
We later found out that it was Neela's brothers.
A group of us planned to kill them and left from there.
Those fuckers were all wielding knives.
The girl who died, Bama, was Ganesan's woman.
They were going to get married after the festival.
She was stabbed to death that night with the nuptial thread in her hand.
We couldn't even look at them.
Mookandi was holding onto one of the killers.
If one of them got caught, there was a chance he might tell on them,
so they chopped that guy's head off and killed Mookandi, too.
Those men who had tied you up?
They both were a part of that gang, too.
We don't know who among them got killed.
Why are you crying?
He was my husband.
Who?
Who was your husband?
You mentioned a guy's head was chopped off, right?
It's him.
He went there to brawl.
I never knew he was into this kind of a job.
My mother-in-law hid everything and got us married.
I found out about him two days into our marriage.
What could I do?
(sombre music ensues)
But now they hid the news of his death,
held me captive and beat me up to make me Rajadurai's mistress.
That is when you all came in and saved me.
- Anna. - (Vembu) Tell me.
Did Vakkeel call you?
He said that they left Nagini behind in the scuffle. What happened?
Well, when I got to Mayiladi,
I found Nagini and got her safely to the hospital. Where are they?
They've got a room at SK Lodge in Vadasery.
Oh. Okay, anna.
They said they'll take the next steps only after you get there.
Anna, when Nagini gets a bit better,
I will send her back to our town.
Another girl will be with her. Keep her in our town, too.
Also, inform the lawyer to have a word at the police station.
- Sure, I will talk to the lawyer. - The hospital says it's a police case.
- Who's the girl? - There's no time to say that now.
I will tell you in person.
- (Vembu) Take care of Nagini. - Okay, anna.
(phone thuds)
I'll get going.
(both gasp)
- Be careful. - (Nagini) Ganesan.
Her husband was the one who died when they killed Bama and Mookandi.
(tragic music)
There is pain on one side and pity on the other.
Poor thing. What can she do?
If she hadn't hit that guy on his head while I was fighting that day,
his knife would have pierced my chest.
Please forgive me.
I will never forget your help.
Did she say anything else?
I said a lot, Ganesan. I didn't know her husband was one of the killers
and told her the whole truth.
(intense music)
(tsks) Hey!
(Meena) Huh?
Is this why you came here in a hurry?
Your lives have gone for a toss because of my husband.
Intentionally or not, I've become a reason for it, too.
I don't have anyone.
I'll just jump from here and die.
You are an honest person, and that's why you saved my life.
I realised that you don't have anyone when you came with me on the bus.
You have a good heart.
Don't make the wrong decision and lose your life.
Get down.
Moreover, if you jump from here, you will not die.
You'll only break your bones.
And then, you will be bedridden for life.
Whenever we think someone's life is going to end,
they say that a new world is born that day.
Just trust that you're entering a new world from today and come.
(music fades)
(breathes heavily)
(Rajadurai gasps)
Aye! Aye!
Hey, oldie!
Throw a rope in, and I will give you a bracelet.
I'll give you a ring and chain, too.
Hey, oldie!
Save me! Save me, man!
Hey...
Oldie!
(riveting music)
(murmurs) Damn you to hell!
(gasps in excitement)
You've done a good deed.
- Hold the rope! - Hmm.
Shall I climb up? (grunting)
Yes, climb up.
Climb up.
Come on up.
I'm coming up!
(old man) Climb.
Careful! Take it slow.
- Oh, my testi-- - Be careful.
(panting)
Hey, you said that you'd give me some things!
Asshole!
(mumbles) I asked for a rope and you were fucking around, motherfucker.
Stop. Stop.
(driver) Get in.
- Drive. - Where do you want to go?
(Uma) Akka, the boys searched everywhere.
We couldn't find anna.
I suspect the Dasara troupe.
They would have taken him and did something to him.
I am telling you that nothing has happened to him!
(Uma) Kaathadi is with them. That's why I'm saying so.
(phone rings)
- Hello? - This is the SP speaking.
- Is Thamburan there? - Yes, he is.
It's the SP.
Yeah, sir.
Did Rajadurai come there?
Not yet.
A body was found near the Vadasery bridge.
- What? - I was told it looks like Rajadurai.
- Huh? - Yes, that's why I called you.
Bring Suba to identify the body. I'll inform them.
All right.
What did he say?
It's nothing. We have to go to Vadasery. Come on.
Why?
It's nothing. Just come with me. Let's go.
I am asking you why.
There is a dead body, and the SP wants you to identify it.
- A dead body? Is he dead? - (suspenseful music)
He is not dead, and I'm not going anywhere.
Suba.
Listen to me!
- They just want him to be dead. - Suba!
Come on, I will identify it. Anna has a scar on his thigh.
Why are you staring?
Anna gets drunk and passes out in his underwear every day.
I know. I have seen it clearly.
Son of a whore. Shut up!
Don't utter nonsense!
Start the car.
(Rajadurai) Stop here, man.
Anna, the money?
You will get your fucking money. Wait here.
(Uma) Thamburan, it's Durai anna.
- (man) Welcome, anna! - Stop the car.
(excited chatter)
(Rajadurai) Hey, someone pay for the autorickshaw.
(man 2) Right away, anna.
(Rajadurai) Aye! Stop it, you motherfuckers!
(Thamburan) Durai, everyone is out looking for you.
Where were you? What happened to you?
Huh? I was in a well.
- Are you kidding? - It's true.
The guy who killed Panner pushed me into the well.
Anna, the Dasara troupe came with that old hag Kaathadi and chased me.
When I came to take away Panner's body in a car,
- I didn't see you. - You dickwad!
The well was right there.
Did any of you bother to peek in?
Anna, how can we search for a tiger in a cat's house?
You are such a big deal!
Will someone believe that you were in a well?
This guy!
- Save your fucking stories for others! - Oh, no! Anna!
- (Uma screams) - Buzz off! Looked for me, my foot.
- We searched for you everywhere. - Damn fuckers.
- (Thamburan) I haven't slept at all. - (Rajadurai) He's weaving stories!
Even that fucking SP told me
to come and identify a body that looks like you near Vadasery.
I was going to check.
Suba was the one who was sure you'd be back.
(grunts) The police do stretch their imagination.
- Forget it. - Come, bathe first!
- Yeah. Hey, Thamburan. - Hmm?
Get me a bottle.
A couple of pegs will ease my body before going to the airport.
Okay.
Uma, put up all the colourful serial lights tonight.
When Arun comes tomorrow, the house should look vibrant.
- (Uma) You heard Thamburan, right? - (man) Hmm.
- The lights must dazzle. - All right.
Okay? Go.
(man) If we let Gladwyn know, he will ace it.
Yeah.
Huh? Is that so?
(gasps) All right!
Okay, okay. Hang up now.
- (door creaks) - (Kaathadi panting)
- It's time! It's time! - (Vakkeel) Huh?
Boy, the time has come to kill Rajadurai.
You come as you please and give information.
- You talk to someone as you please. - (clicks tongue)
You blurt out all the information to us.
Who gives you such information?
I shouldn't say that.
If I reveal my source, they'll kill me or get me caught by the police.
- Then, it will-- - (door knocking)
Who is it?
- Is it the police? - (Vakkeel) Oh, no!
- Pannimadan, come quickly! - I don't know who told them!
- What is it? - (suspenseful music)
- It's the police. - Why are you shouting?
- It's the police! - (Pannimadan) Hold up.
There are no police vehicles out there.
Did you check properly who it is?
It must be Rajadurai's men. They have surrounded us.
Motherfuckers!
Hey, wizard! Get up!
- (Chandran) What happened? - (Vakkeel) Get up! Come on!
- (Kaathadi) Give me the eggs. - (Chandran) Kaathadi, here.
I'll throw it on their faces!
(all scream)
- (Ganesan) Hey! - Gosh.
- Did you get scared? - (Kaathadi) It's our people.
What is this, Ganesan? You could have said something.
- We thought you were someone else. - Hey...
- I just checked if you all were alert. - (Kaathadi) Nagini.
Sorry, we had to leave you behind at the fight.
- It's all right, Kaathadi. - (Ganesan) Come in.
- Come. - Nagini, lie down.
(Ganesan) Kaathadi, this is Meena.
She was the one who was locked up during the brawl that day.
Why have you brought her along?
She's also affected much like us.
She's in danger, too.
So, I plan to send her to safety along with Nagini back to our town.
Hey, finish bathing.
- Okay, I'll be right back. - (knife clangs)
My eyes are stinging.
Kaathadi, is there any new information?
- There is. - How will she not have any?
- What is it? - She's a walking newspaper.
AJ's son is landing here from abroad tonight.
- Oh! - To receive him,
all of them are going to the airport.
We have to use this opportunity to take them all out.
Bama and Mookandi's death.
He should know when he dies that this is revenge for that.
We'll do it, guys!
We're taking him out tonight.
Arun's flight lands at 2:00 a.m.
Hey, didn't you say your daughter's matchmaking would happen today?
Did you forget?
- (cheerful music) - Oh, my!
I completely forgot.
- (music fades off) - (phone rings)
- (phone clicks) - Hello.
Thamburan, why haven't you come to identify the body yet?
- Sir, Rajadurai is not dead. - What are you saying?
He just got here. You called me before I could inform you.
Where was he?
During a brawl, he fell into a well and lost consciousness.
- In a well? - Hmm.
Someone over there saved him, and he just got home.
Hmm. Okay then.
(pleasant music)
(anklets jingling)
- (Vakkeel) Hmm! - (Swetha) Here.
Where's the girl's father?
He is an ardent follower of Lord Shiva.
He got immersed in spirituality and took to asceticism.
Okay then.
(girl) Come.
Kaathadi, shall we exchange the plates in agreement?
Yes, we shall.
Do you like the girl?
Yes, I do like him.
- (Vakkeel) Take it. - You receive it.
(Ganesan) Here.
- (Pannimadan) Give it. - Give it to them, buddy.
- (Kaathadi) Here. - May the wedding go smoothly.
- Wish you the same. - All right.
- Please sit. - I'm glad!
(kisses)
How am I going to manage without your father?
- You're here for me. - Kaathadi.
Why are you crying when a good thing is happening?
We're all here for you. Be happy.
(Kaathadi sniffles)
God has shown me good people at least at the end of my days.
I have nothing to worry about anymore.
All right, everything will go well.
Shall we leave?
Yeah, we will.
- (music fades off) - (engine whirring)
- (rapid footsteps) - (dogs barking in distance)
(grunts)
(whispers) Hey, be careful.
(tense music)
(muffled footsteps shuffling)
Tell Arun that his father is out on bail but he's busy with work.
- All right? - Hmm. Okay.
(horn honking)
(music intensifies)
- Aye! - (driver) Anna?
- Drive slowly. - Okay, anna.
Let the vehicle behind come closer.
- Hey, Gladwyn. - Yeah?
How is your serial lights business?
I have orders from 10 wedding halls.
- God has been kind to me. - (matchstick strikes)
- What else? - (scoffs) God has been kind?
- (Gladwyn) Yeah. - (metal clanks)
What are you looking at?
(metal clanking)
Where is that sound coming from?
(music intensifies)
(Rajadurai) Hey, do we have weapons in the car?
- (driver) We do, anna. - Stop the car!
- (tyres screech) - Hey, surround that car.
- Who is it? - (man) Why are they stopping us?
- (indistinct chatter) - (Rajadurai) Hey, where are you going?
(man) Anna, we're going to the Mandaikadu Temple.
- (man) Is there a problem, anna? - (Rajadurai) No fucking problem!
- (Ganesan) Aye! - Huh!
- You motherfuc-- - (Gladwyn) Satan is circling him!
(Uma groaning)
(grunting and groaning)
- (truck honks) - (Rajadurai) Hey, stop the truck.
(Rajadurai's men) Stop it! Stop! Where are you going?
(Thamburan) Hey!
- (Rajadurai's man) Anna? - Let the truck go.
(Rajadurai's man) Leave!
- (eerie music) - (Thamburan) Durai, it's not them.
(Rajadurai) Yeah. I thought the motherfuckers were caught!
- Hey, get in! - (Rajadurai's man) Okay, anna.
- Get on! - (engines start)
- (rousing music) - (grunting, shouting)
(knife slashes)
- (knife hacks) - (gasping)
(gurgling)
(music fades off)
(car honking)
(engine rumbling)
(thunder rumbles)
(airport announcements)
(upbeat riveting music)
- (Suba) Arun! - (Thamburan) He has grown so much.
(music turns suspenseful)
(airport announcement continues)
- Where is Arun? - He came this way.
- I don't see him. - (Rajadurai) He must be around.
- Hey, go check there. - (man) I'll check, anna.
(music intensifies)
(Rajadurai) Where did he go?
He must be around. Check over there.
Where could he have gone at this hour?
Durai, check in that crowd over there.
Akka, I've searched everywhere. He's missing.
(Suba) Where's my son?
- Durai. - Hmm.
- Is it Kaathadi? - No.
It's Babu Raja's men.
(Thamburan) How can you say that?
Nobody other than them could have kidnapped the boy from an airport.
(rousing music)
Okay, I will talk to the SP and have the checkposts searched.
- All right. - We'll search, too.
Okay.
- (Thamburan) Let's go. - (Rajadurai) Get the car.
- (driver) Coming, anna. - My son?
He'll be back. Come.
(tense music)
(engine rumbling)
(music fades off)
Ganesan, Kaathadi is here.
- Where's Vakkeel? - He must be inside.
Come on!
(Ganesan) Come on.
Get in quickly.
- (Vakkeel) Get in! - (Pannimadan) Vakkeel, grab my hand.
- Come on. - (Ganesan) Be careful.
- Get in, Ganesan! - (Ganesan grunts)
- Climb in. - Careful.
(Vakkeel) Ganesan, he is AJ's son.
Don't be scared. We won't harm you.
(exhales)
- (car comes to halt) - (tyres screech)
You get going in this car. I'll bring the boy.
(Suba) Listen, I'll come too.
- (Rajadurai) Why? - (Thamburan) Look.
You go ahead. We'll be back with the boy.
Be careful. We must find our boy before he gets out.
(tsks) Look, if Babu Raja's men ask for money, please just give it!
I don't want your fucking suggestions. Just leave!
I gave birth to him! My child should come back to me!
- Do you understand? - (Rajadurai) Leave!
He'll be back.
Hey, two of you go in that car.
(car engine starts)
(intense music)
Why did Suba say that she gave birth to him?
He's my brother's son, too.
Huh?
(tsks) Hmm!
Who knows who will enjoy whose property?
(engine starts)
(Thamburan) Durai, how did it happen?
When my sister-in-law and I were together, anna caught us once.
Then he forced us to get married and moved away from us.
Still, his anger on me never subsided.
He kept sending me to prison for every crime he committed.
I was confused, unaware of how to exact revenge against him.
Oh!
Is that why you agreed to kill your brother?
Sure. Like this is important now?
Can't you keep your fucking mouth shut?
(Thamburan scoffs)
(phone ringing)
(phone clicks)
Hello, who is this?
This is Durai.
Durai, I've investigated thoroughly.
It is definitely not Babu Raja's men who kidnapped Arun.
Do you have any idea who it could be?
Then it must be the Dasara troupe.
Them?
Yes, it's them.
I will go to Vanadesam and rip them to shreds!
- Take the left and go inside. - (driver) All right.
- (engine whirring) - (suspenseful music)
- (vehicles squeak to a halt) - (Thamburan) Let's ask here.
Where is the house of people who dress up for Dasara?
Can't you respectfully get down and ask for the address?
I'm busy here.
Grab him and throw him in. He'll reveal it then.
(Thamburan tsks)
If we come to another town, our power won't work.
Until we find out where Arun is, keep quiet.
I will go and ask him.
The guy who gives me directions to the Dasara prayer group
can take this money.
There are many who do it. We don't know who you are referring to.
They do it as a troupe.
Just show us their house.
The town?
There is Thekkur, Mekkur, Keezhur and Melur.
Which one do I tell you about?
The guy who organises it,
point me to him.
You're giving us money and are asking us to identify someone.
What can we say? We don't know if it's for a good cause or a bad one.
Keep this, too.
Just show me their house and that's enough.
Come, I will show you his house.
Anna, it's the house with the portico.
- (Thamburan) Which one? - (local) The second one.
Yes, it's this one. Stop.
Vembu anna!
- (Vembu) Who is it? - (local) Vembu anna!
- (Vembu) I'm coming. - (flicks switch)
- (door squeaks) - (tense music)
They asked me to show the Dasara troupe organiser's house.
They said it was urgent. So...
- Who are you? - Anna, did you forget?
I brought two loads of sand for the Dasara troupe.
- What's the matter? - (local) They--
Your men have kidnapped our boy.
Just show us the place. Let's not make it an issue.
Oh, they will be at Sarvodaya Sangam. Go, meet them there.
Hmm!
Hey, where is Sarvodaya Sangam?
Go straight, turn west and then turn south.
Get in the vehicle.
(local) Who knows who they're here to trouble? Why should I get involved?
(Thamburan) Motherfucker! He's running away!
(Rajadurai) He has given us the directions. Come on, let's go.
(car drives away)
SARVODAYA SANGAM VANADESAM
(chaotic chatter)
(music intensifies)
When we checked the van at the bypass, this truck was behind us, right?
Yes, this was it.
Arun should be here.
- (vehicles squeak to a halt) - (Thamburan) You go that way.
I'll check this side.
Hey, go search that side.
You guys check over there.
(chaotic chatter continues)
Where is he?
(door squeaks)
- (men shouting) - (chattering in background)
(Rajadurai) Arun!
Arun!
(window creaks)
Arun!
Boy, come!
Come and get in the vehicle.
- (Arun exhales) - Arun, come on! Let's go!
My boy, Arun?
(banging on door) Arun!
Son!
Shall we surround them?
No.
- Open the door, son. - (latch clicks)
- Let's go-- - (door creaks)
Arun, come! Let's go!
(Kaathadi) Aye, Rajadurai!
(rousing music)
You are dead today.
Did I bring him here so that I can send him off with you?
We brought him here to make you come here.
Hey, let go of his hand.
- (Vakkeel) Go! - (Ganesan) We'll deal with you today.
Hey, calm down!
- (man) Thamburan, they have anna. - (Thamburan) They have surrounded us.
- Calm down. - (Neela) Come on!
(ominous music)
- Vembu. - Ganesan, let him go.
- Hand them over to the police. - (Rajadurai pants)
What harm did I do to all of you?
I went to start a new life after you ruined my life.
In the end, you killed my husband, too.
I managed to escape somehow and came to this town fearing for my life,
and I am leading a life with my kid.
Why are you so enraged at me?
Tell me what I did to you that you want to kill me.
I treated you both as my brothers.
You came to kill me and ended up taking away two innocent lives.
You won't die a peaceful death!
(Arun) Enough with the cheating, Chithappa.
Son, Arun!
This bitch eloped after cheating our family.
Don't believe anything she says.
Come with me.
You are the one who handed my father over to the police.
You killed Vargees to stop him from revealing it to my father.
My mother trusted you innocently and betrayed Vargees.
Even after that, you've tried to kill my aunt and her child.
This is very wrong!
- (Rajadurai) Son, what are you saying? - You better apologise to everyone,
and then you and Thamburan should surrender in court, Chithappa.
My mother and aunt have told me everything.
Arun, come on, son. Let's go.
You don't understand.
- Listen to me. - Chithappa, don't.
Come, son.
(Arun) Chithappa, I won't come with you.
Oh, come on, son! Arun, I'm telling you to come!
- Arun! - Aye!
(Rajadurai groans) Motherfucker!
You dare to kick me?
(grunting, screaming)
Hmm!
(Thamburan) It's done.
(engine starts)
Drive!
(tyres screech)
(chaotic chatter)
(loud thud)
- Die! - Oh, no!
(punches landing)
Arun!
- (knife hacks) - (Neela screams)
- (Vembu screams) - (knife hacks)
(Arun) Neela akka! Neela akka!
What did my aunt do? Why did you stab her?
You!
(Arun) Die! Go to hell!
- (Arun) Carry her! - (Vakkeel) Let's rush to the hospital.
(Arun) Take her to the hospital right away!
(siren wailing)
The police are coming!
- (man) The police are coming! - (Nagini) Neela!
(Vembu) Before the police come, carry Neela away. Quick!
- (Chandran) Lift her! - (Vembu) No one stays here. Go!
- Get out of here! - (Vakkeel) Go! Get out of here!
Scatter! Go! Get away!
(Pannimadan) Ganesan, come on!
(siren continues wailing)
(music fades off)
(metal clanking, saw screeching)
- (cop) AJ! - Huh?
Someone is here to see you.
(suspenseful music)
Did Arun not come? Where's my son?
Arun has been kidnapped.
Which bastard dared to touch my son?
We had gone to the airport to receive Arun.
Neela's townsfolk kidnapped Arun and Suba there.
What are you saying? What the fuck was Rajadurai doing then?
Rajadurai and I went with our men to retrieve Arun.
But they used the villagers to attack us.
Rajadurai stabbed Neela and that got him killed.
Those Dasara guys
killed Rajadurai.
We tried a lot to save him, but we couldn't.
- Aye, SP! - (metal clanks)
We thought you are some big fucking deal of a police officer!
Did you let the killer escape and come here to catch snakes instead?
Look, AJ. We don't know where they have kept Suba and Arun.
If I arrest the villagers now, the others may harm Arun in anger.
There is no guarantee for Arun's life.
We even tried to take away Neela's child.
We couldn't.
No, don't do anything for now.
The revenge has found its root in Vargees's child.
They have made this plan knowing I would go in search of Arun.
There is proof of Rajadurai killing Neela at the local police station.
They said that they don't know about Arun and Suba.
After the autopsy, Rajadurai's body is at the government hospital.
No one knows anything yet.
Only Thamburan and I know.
Don't announce Durai's death to anyone either.
He and you both have been of great help to me.
Now, my son's life is in danger. Moreover, Durai is dead.
Now, it's just you two beside me.
I will always be on your side.
Always.
When I burn that village down and come back,
just make sure that I'm not put back in jail.
- (Thamburan) Okay. - Once Arun becomes an MLA,
I will clear all the cases against you.
Don't worry. We'll get going.
- Hmm. - Hmm.
(music fades off)
(ominous music)
(AJ) First, I have to save my son.
I have a score to settle, and it's bothering me now.
That fucking piece-of-shit town Vanadesam. I will burn it down!
(screaming)
(yelling)
(rousing devotional music)
