Yes, sir. There's a large crowd outside.
Even the police are not able to control the crowd, sir.
Hey, go up.
Go go.
As usual even this time, Global Star Ajay's fans
are waiting here to watch the first day first show
of their beloved star.
Every fan desires to watch
his idol's movie first day first show.
So many fans are waiting here to watch the first day first show.
To get a glimpse of their idol.
Let's ask them how they are feeling.
You've come to watch the first day first show of your idol's movie.
That too early morning 4 O'clock.
So how do you feel?
I have my idol in every inch of my body.
People go to Tirupati to worship God.
Viewing our idol on the screen is our worship.
The sky has many stars.
But my idol is the only true star. And that too Global Star!
Diwali comes only once in a year.
But every time our idol's movie releases, it's Diwali for us.
Hey, who are you all?
What are you doing? Keep it back.
Hey!
Let go.
Help!
Hey, I won't leave you.
Somebody help!
Hey, move away.
Move away.
Make way.
Move aside.
Move.
Stand aside, make way for me.
Make way for me.
Hey, who let them here?
Hey.. - Sir, start the show soon.
Stand aside.
Hey, make way for me.
Hey you! - We've been waiting for so long.
Move aside.
Jeez!
Sir, the security is here.
It's a very large crowd. Very hard to control.
Don't know what to do.
We are waiting for the KDM password.
Only if the owner calls we will know the status.
Sir, good morning.
Yes, sir. We are waiting for the KDM password.
The crowd is getting restless.
Okay, sir, thank you.
We've got the KDM password. Go open the gate.
Let go!
Let go of me.
Come on. - Let go.
Let's go.
Quick, we shouldn't get caught.
Come on, hurry.
Hail to the leader!
Hail to the master!
Did your friend give you the tickets you asked for?
No, the Ajay Fans Association guys are acting too much.
And not in the good way.
Those buggers are selling tickets in black.
And they're charging Rs. 3000 for it.
Rs. 3000?
Should we shell out Rs. 3000 to watch this Ajay's movie?
Hell, did Kumar say so?
Let our star's movie release
we'll deal with them when they will come asking for tickets.
Very rightly said. - Let go of it.
Do you really want to watch the movie?
Hey, we came to watch so we could make fun if it's a bad movie.
Our idol's movie is releasing in 10 days.
We'll show them who we are at that time.
These average buggers are hyping this movie way too much.
'Garuda' movie is Rs. 300 crore budget.
But they struggled to budget this movie.
If this movie has a good run
those stupid fans will go haywire. - For sure.
Leader!
All hail our glorious idol!
Hail to our master!
Hail to our idol!
Dude, this 'Singadurai' trailer got roasted badly by that Yellow Shirt guy.
This movie is a total waste.
Just a waste of money.
Rightly said.
Dude, these fans are going to cry their eyes out.
Why, what happened?
I'm going to watch 'Singadurai' movie without spending a rupee.
How? - This movie?
Leader!
I've sent you a link. Check it out.
Open it.
'Leader!'
Hail to our master!
Look at this. - Superb, dude!
'I'm the one and only Singadurai'
'You wanted a one on one, right?'
'Here I am'
'Now face me'
What's this, dude?
The first show is still running.
How come so soon?
It's all the work of Tamil Rockerz.
Hello. - Hello. Did you see it?
Whether we play the show at 5 AM or not
those Tamil Rockerz rascals have already uploaded it.
The movie is going to tank.
What are we gaining now?
I've to hit myself with my own slippers for trusting your words and investing.
Tomorrow morning, I along with theatre owners will come to your house.
Otherwise, I have to kill myself.
Hello.
Global Star actor Ajay's 'Singadurai' movie
was released online by Tamil Rockerz on the day of its theatrical release
and hence has affected the OTT and satellite business of the movie.
As a result of this incident, the producer of this movie, Boobalan
died of suicide last night.
Will the Tamil Nadu government take action
against Tamil Rockerz for their illegal act?
Sir.. - I'll solve the issue inside and come back.
Sir, please.. - I don't want to say anything at the moment.
Sir, please..
Greetings..
Greetings, sir.
Greetings.
Greetings, leader.
How do we make a decision? - How shameless can you be!
We cannot hear if you are all talking at once.
Only one should talk at a time.
Take turns to talk and come to a decision.
Hey, stop.
Just talking for talking sake.
Just stop!
Stop it.
Will talking non-stop help us solve the problem?
We've come to talk.
Let the leader speak first. Or Financier, you speak first.
How can we ask calmly?
We gave the loan.
We've totally given Rs. 10 Crore.
Mr. Gopi has given Rs. 7 Crores.
And to add to that, the distributors and theatre owners are in crisis.
Who will take responsibility for our money?
The Producer Council should take a decision on the matter.
Who did you ask before giving?
You don't ask before giving or taking.
This is business.
Profit and loss are common.
So end up blaming it all on the union?
Stop it! Did you invest the money?
You're a mere newbie.
Don't talk unnecessarily.
We are silent for the sake of Mr. Aadhavan and Mr. Mathi.
Or.. That Boobalan is a council member, right?
Now he is dead.
Who will take responsibility for my money?
Gopi, did you really fund 7 Crore rupees?
Sir, by what do you want me to swear? Goddess Kalikambal or my son?
Hey, stop it.
I'm not new to this business.
My family's been making movies for three generations.
How much money you gave.
And if it's legitimate money.
I know about it even if you don't tell me.
Poor Boobalan has passed away.
But you can't talk all you want.
Sir, we spoke wrong. Forgive us.
As a leader, you have to make a proper decision.
Sir, first of all, you're not a council member.
You're raising your voice here because you can't at Distributor Union?
What's he saying? - Sundar, please calm down.
In all the unions of Tamil cinema, there are a total of 2500 members.
Family numbers about 5 lakh people are dependent on this business.
Number of theatres have reduced from 1400 to 1150.
In this situation, our biggest headache is the Tamil Rockerz.
We've been organising many, many meetings to get rid of the illegal VCD.
When will we go from talking to action?
You didn't take any action. Did you?
We are not lying idle, sir.
We've been working with cyber-crime day and night.
It's not as easy as you think.
Hey, so what have you achieved by working so far?
I've been a leader before.
Way back 10-15 years ago, I protested on the streets on the issue of illegal VCD.
And my efforts brought a decision.
But what happened?
The more we upgrade to cube, digital and they're upgrading themselves too.
Bloody thieves!
My movie is going to release in 10 days.
Not 1 or 2..
I've invested Rs. 300 crores in this movie.
The union can't get rid of the Tamil Rockerz.
The government and police have to act. This is the only way.
Movies are movies irrespective of the budget.
If you approach the government and police on your own
then what is the purpose of this union and its members?
We've seen what you have done for 4 years as a leader.
Already three producers have died.
Shall I also go kill myself?
Mathi, think before you speak.
You can't talk all you want.
Yes, I will talk like that.
Only I know the pain.
You know nothing of the plight of making movies.
Fine, we didn't make any movies.
But what about you? You're making a movie after 10 years.
Yes, I've made a movie after ten years.
I was having a bad time.
But I had to persuade and beg people, get dates of the Action Star
and made a movie on a budget of Rs. 300 crores.
Do you accept that I've made a movie now?
My movie is going to release in 10 days.
What if these bastards release my movie before that?
Will the union take responsibility?
Tell me, will the union take responsibility?
Hell, I will take care of my problem.
Sir.. - Talking nonsense..
Can't catch those silly Tamil Rockerz guys!
Only good for tea and bun.
Hey, what?
Nelson, catch him.
Don't move. - Sir..
Hey, what are you doing here at his hour?
Sir, we usually play cricket here.
As if you're playing in an IPL league!
Do you all belong to CSK?
Yes, sir. We are CSK team.
Then who is Dhoni? All of you?
Sir, don't make jokes.
Hey, am I joking with you guys at this hour?
Get away from here.
Sir, now that we've accepted that we ruined that girl.
What do you have us here for?
Either take us to the station or produce us before the court.
Hey, keep quiet.
Sir, Lorry Krishnamurthy is my uncle.
Do you know who my father is?
Why, didn't your mother show you your father?
Hey.. - Hey, keep quiet.
How many girls' lives have you ruined so far?
Just this girl, sir.
Really?
I swear, sir.
Only you both did it?
Say it!
Yes, sir. We saw her at the pub.
She mingled socially with us.
But she turned down sex.
But I wanted it.
But why did you burn her?
She was arrogant beyond belief.
She created a scene and threatened us after everything was over.
That's why, sir.
Hey, leave it.
Sir, we'll deal with this at the court.
Well, then why did you try to escape before taking you to the court?
Sir, when did we try to escape.. - Sir..
Run.. - Don't stop!
I knew this would happen.
Two last month.
And this month..
I have to give an account of two bullets fired.
It's still ten days to Diwali.
But he's firing crackers already.
Action Police like the Action Star!
Nothing like that.
He's just venting his personal frustrations at work.
Sir, so could you please go inside
and check what happened.
I'll stay here and guard the vehicle.
Why? - I am afraid of blood since childhood.
Then you will take the third bullet.
Sir, sir, sir.. What are you saying?
Shut up and come inside. - Don't put me in distress.
What should I write, sir?
In the rape and murder case of Neelangarai Doctor Shwetha
clear suspects, accused A and accused B. Dinesh and Karthik.
In an attempt to catch them, we cornered them both
in this abandoned factory in Ambattur.
At that moment when Constable Muthiah tried to catch accused A
the accused A hit Constable Muthiah on the forehead with an iron rod.
Please don't, sir.
I'll do it myself.
In that struggle, accused B who was hiding.
Took out the gun he was carrying.
It was an 8mm pistol.
That is when we realized he had a gun.
And he aimed and fired the gun at Constable Muthiah.
But it ended up being a misfire.
Nelson.. - Yes, sir. - Give me your gun.
At the moment of misfire
Nelson fired his gun at Accused B who was standing here.
Accused A who didn't know what to do at that moment
distracted Nelson
and took the gun that Accused A had
and fired at Nelson.
Injuring his right shoulder.
Sir?
Okay.
Injuring Inspector Akhilan's right shoulder.
Yes, sir. - Using this time window
Accused A carrying the gun
tried to escape from here.
And I blocked him.
He tried to shoot me.
I shot him with my gun to defend myself.
That's it.
'Action Star Aditya in as'
'Garuda'
The opening is terrific, sir!
'You boasted that you are a lion.'
'I've come to your den.'
'I am ready to attack'
'Are you ready to hide?'
Sir.. What happened?
Didn't I tell you to remove the scene in which the Action Star
is being dragged across?
But, sir. We removed the scene as you suggested.
But it is affecting the story flow.
That is why we retained it.
Mister, listen to what sir says.
He has given 12 Silver Jubilee films.
He knows better than anyone.
Why all that now?
Listen, I'm not just the director
I'm Action Star Aditya's father as well.
I very well know what his fans expect of him.
They won't accept all this.
Sir, if we remove this scene, people won't understand the story.
Moreover, the story.. - Hey!
Don't look for logic in cinema.
Only look at the magic it contains.
Hey you director!
You want me to tell you as well?
Do minor editing or something.
Like sir said, movies don't have logic, only magic.
Sir, you don't worry about the director. I'll take care of it.
Good evening, sir.
What's all this, Rudra?
You realise what you have done?
Sir..
You are repeating the same mistake without understanding the seriousness.
You've landed me in big trouble because of what you've done.
Do you have bloody idea?
Sir, they tried to escape.
I had no option. So I fired at them.
You're faking an encounter to me?
Why were you in such a hurry?
We could've finished this silently like how we finished the ex-MLA case.
Sir, they had to die.
I can't keep quiet thinking about this.
Listen, Rudra. No problem with what you did. But..
Sir, your problem is just that I shot him without your permission, right?
Who will answer my higher officials?
I am answerable.
Understand the situation. Don't show your anger at work.
This is not personal.
It's purely social.
What else? You think you're some big cinema hero?
Sir, I don't like cinema.
Idiot!
It has come out well. - Thank you, sir.
I'm not saying this just because my son is the hero.
Aditya is just rocking.
After all, he's your blood. - I'll talk to him.
If you remove the two scenes that I told you
the movie will become a super hit.
No problem at all. As you suggested, I will remove those two scenes.
Once we Re-censor, the work will be done. But one thing.
I'm not saying it for the sake of it. I don't mind if you take me wrong.
After this movie, your son
not only in India
will become the No.1 in Asia.
I swear this on my Goddess Karpagambal.
What do we do if Tamil Rockerz mess with our movie?
Already a few of your movies..
Sir, only camera print of my movies have been leaked.
And who would want to watch our 'Garuda' movie in camera print?
The speciality of our movie is computer graphics.
Not only graphics
the action and swagger of our Action Star.
Sir, theatrical experience. - What do you call that?
Yes, our movie is worth watching only in theatres.
Like 'Baahubali' and 'The Avengers'.
Not only that, sir.
It's our guy taking care of the cybercrime.
Hey, what's that link called?
URL, sir.
What's that?
The link of the Tamil Rockerz site.
Sir, I've set up a special team to eliminate them all.
I don't know what you will do.
This movie should become a super-duper hit.
Sir, don't worry.
We're going to rock it.
For sure. - Greetings, sir.
Who is this? - He's my new driver, sir.
He was working in production
with producer Boobalan who died of suicide.
He came asking for a job. I felt bad. So I hired him as my driver.
Lifting up the fallen ones! - Just like sir.
Sir, I'm not just saying this for the sake of it.
If you hadn't given your son's dates
I couldn't have made such a big film.
Not only for our Action Star
to show who's Producer Mathi
you have given me the chance.
Thanks for that, sir.
All the best..
Stay well. - See you, sir.
Sir, not only Tamil Rockerz
or anyone for that matter
can't even touch our movie.
Drive to the chamber.
Boo! - Ouch!
Look, I've put too much salt in it.
If you eat and say it's too salty, you'll get no food.
Let me tell you beforehand, it's Pepper Chicken Gravy.
Do eat it and say it's sambar. I'll get hyper.
Pah!
Whatever you cook, the old touch that you bring, is the finest there is.
What's that old touch?
Whatever you do, you make it extra hot and spicy.
I don't need your sarcasm. Get off from here.
You didn't find anything else besides my cooking to make fun of?
Hey, why are you getting serious now?
Taste it yourself.
Okay.
Is the taste less intense?
I followed every step as Chef Damo suggested.
Should I have ground the Chicken Masala before adding?
No worries, dear.
Sprinkle some coriander leaves.
Take a selfie.
Post a story on Instagram saying 'Best Chicken Gravy forever'.
And let's 'like' our own post.
All that is not necessary.
Tomorrow I am going to prepare a stunning Italian Kebab like how Chef Damo prepared.
Do you desire this also?
What's up with this new YouTube cooking?
Usually you binge watch French and German movies.
Don't you have any movies to watch now?
Why have you drifted this way?
I have a movie to watch.
Which movie?
'My Fair Lady', Hollywood film.
When is it releasing?
Holy! It released way back in 1956.
And it won 5 Oscar Awards.
It's a romantic film.
I couldn't find it anywhere on OTT or DVD.
By the way your favourite star's movie has released. Haven't you watched it yet?
I only heard bad reviews about the movie.
So I downloaded and watched it.
Before marriage, you wanted me to take you to multiplexes.
As if you will take me!
Why, haven't I taken you to the movies?
You will get a phone call in the middle of the movie.
They give a break midway and you will also take a break.
And you leave midway. Leaving me alone.
Fine, leave all that.
When shall we watch our movie?
Today night show?
Aren't you bored of watching the same movie over and over again?
Why, are you bored?
You'll find the answer to that when we watch the movie tonight.
You don't have to eat Pepper Chicken Gravy.
Yesterday's sambar is in the fridge. Take it out, I'll heat it for you.
Go freshen up and come to eat, okay?
Go now.
Greetings and welcome to Hot News with Anarkali.
On this show we are going to talk expert tips about current hot topics.
Today we are going to talk about Singadurai' movie, the current hot topic
and Tamil Rockerz who released this movie illegally.
To talk about that, we have with us on the show
Cyber forensic expert, Ms. Sandhya Venugopal.
Welcome, Sandhya. - Greetings.
Greetings, ma'am. Coming straight to the point.
Who are these Tamil Rockerz?
Tamil Rockerz are those who upload movies online illegally.
We've heard of Illegal VCD and DVD.
Ah, it's the same concept.
They don't sell it in shops but directly upload it as a video on the internet.
What do they gain by uploading the movie online for free?
Their main income comes from ads
displayed on the Tamil Rockerz page.
So, ad pop-ups and Dark Web marketing are the main two ways of income.
The internet data that we use to watch movies on their site
is also a source of income for them.
Sorry, pal.
First thing morning, the director of this movie deserves a slap in the face.
Oh my! What kind of a movie have they made!
Moron, is it 'Fairy-land' or 'Shit-land'?
'If you make a mistake'
'And if you do it knowingly'
'I won't let him away even if He's God'
[Naan Aanaiyittal, MGR Song]
Come on, pal. Is this right? Come along now.
The day my idol MGR died
Tamil cinema died that day.
What kind of movies are they making these days?
It's hard to understand what they are doing and trying to say.
And he says he listened to 40 stories before choosing this!
Hey, accountant, do your job correctly. - What kind of a movie is this?
Sir, but.. - Throw him out of the gate.
No one can replace MGR!
No one can replace Shivaji!
Hey, come on.. No one can replace MGR!
Total 150 Rupees loss for me.
I have to drink another half bottle.
Mr. Murugan.. - Yes, sir.
The show is at 12 tomorrow, right? - Yes.
You can come at 11 tomorrow and clean. Leave now.
Sir, Venkatesan who you newly hired for work.
Ask him help out a little with work. - Venkatesan, right?
He will listen only if you say.
I'll tell him. It's getting late, you leave now.
Leave now. - Thank you, sir.
Venkatesan! - Yes, sir.
Is everything good? - Yes, everything is ready, shall I start it?
Get it ready and come down soon. - Okay.
Cheers!
Hey, speak in a low tone. - Sorry.. - It's recording.
What are you thinking?
I'm just asking out of curiosity.
Why are we recording only the sound?
We can shoot the entire movie with the camera, right?
That's the technique.
If we record the video here, they will find out it was recorded here
from the serial number that is displayed on the screen.
That is why we record only the audio here.
Then what about the video?
Listen.
During dubbing in Andhra and Karnataka
in a similar theatre, video is played without sound.
This audio is matched with that video and uploaded online.
Even if our state police finds out
by the time, they take this matter to the other state police
and find out anything, it would've become weeks.
And by that time, the movie will be removed from our theatre.
Do you get it now?
You criminal thieves!
Hey, you saying that about who?
Sir, I was saying about Tamil Rockerz.
Mind you.
Let's cheers. Cheers!
Sir.. - Nanda..
Go inside and order two Country Chicken Biryani. - Okay, sir.
And two Mutton Chukka. - Okay, sir.
Inside you'll find manager Murthy. Tell him it's for producer Mathi.
Okay, sir.
Do you have money? - Yes.
Hey, sir. Greetings, Mr. Karmegam.
Greetings, Mathi. Diwali is coming.
Only one week left for release.
How are the movie preparations going on?
The first look, lyric video, trailer and teaser
is trending on Facebook and Twitter.
Are you through with OTT and satellite business?
Almost, I'm talking about it with a guy from Bombay.
Mathi, after getting your business done, you have to return the money like I said.
I want every paise back with interest. You get it, right?
Your money will come to your doorstep. You'll get it back with interest.
I have never broken my word to you.
Sir, our movie is playing on the screen.
