Tamil Nadu is the second largest coastline state in India,
A coastline from Pazhaverkadu to Ezhudesam in Kanyakumari
that stretches approximately 1073 kilometers,
The stretch between the Palk strait
and the Gulf of Mannar that consists of 21 islands,
which is approximately 430 kilometers along the sea shore,
has a lot of unexplored mysteries on the historical
as well as on the trade front,
From the rulers during Sangam era to the Britishers…
this part connects to Sri Lanka in many ways
but still doesn't have any government approved transportation,
Yet, the international borders are crossed on daily basis by boats from either side
in the hunt for fishes,
Some of the boats cross the borders for various reasons,
Boats that were once used to smuggle silk saris, electronic gadgets and fuel…
still continue to smuggle things ranging from marijuana, exotic sea creatures,
to opium and heroin,
And the only smuggling king who's controlling this entire sea line
for the past 20 years
is Dhanapalan!
MAKKAL KATCHI HEAD QUARTERS CHENNAI
Thank you, sir, See you,
Greetings, sir,
I hope you went through the MLA list, I sent you,
Renga, you don't get to decide who gets the seat,
Sir, I'd like to talk to you alone,
No need! Whatever it is, discuss it in front of us,
All of you please wait outside,
That's unfair, sir,
You may stay,
Go ahead, Renga,
Who is responsible for the party's success in the South?
You tell me,
It's because of me, RR!
Tuticorin, Tirunelveli, Ramanathapuram and Sivagangai,
I made your vision succeed in all of these districts!
Have I ever crossed a line?
I ain't denying it,
In return, didn't you enjoy the perks of being the MLA and MPA for 30 years?
The party is not all about you, Renga,
Is my success making you jealous?
Renga…,
I enjoyed watching you succeed with my help,
I guided you on how to handle this world, like a father would guide his son,
And you think I am jealous?
Then why are you helping Duraisamy?
I agree that he belongs to our caste,
But, I am the one who controls the association!
What's your point?
Fulfill my demands!
Or else what?
I'll be forced to start my own political party,
Now it's you guys who'll decide whether I should start it or not
Renga!
Well, I guess you might have to start your own party then,
I know exactly who we should deal with to put him back at his place,
I'll finish off Dhanapal,
KARAIKUDI
Don't keep God waiting,
Let's start the rituals,
Looks like it'll be midnight by the time we start our stage play,
Hey, your stage play is not the priority here!
The MLA is almost here,
Have some patience,
-Sir, see that? -Come, let's leave!
Nobody respects the temple and the deity these days,
They only respect the politicians and con men,
Look at how they're making our deity wait, It's pathetic!
About 20 years ago, he used to be a watchman at my house,
Later, he became a thug, then an MLA……
and now he's a minister,
Ask them to sing praises about me, I'll leave after that,
Hey, old man! Ask your singers to sing praises about our leader,
How dare you talk to me like that?
My team will only perform the play and do nothing else! Mind you!
Our leader? My foot!
I traveled through a portal from the spirit realm…
and landed on the earth realm,
I don't believe you, Do you have an Aadhar ID?
An Aadhar ID?
-Credit card? Ration card? -What card?
We don't have any such IDs,
-Your father gave life to this world? -Yes,
-Who gave life to you? -Again, my father,
-Who gave life to the soil? -My father,
-Who gave life to me? -My father,
Shut up, you son of a father!
If your father gave life to me…
what do you think my father was doing?
Well, right now I can't play my instrument,
Your instrument doesn't work?
Well, my instrument works,
Oh! Does it really work?
Until it's touched, rubbed and oiled…
it'll just lie there simply,
Bro,
Why do you look like you just bashed up a gang of men?
"An angel lost in a dense cactus forest,
our heroine,
She is scared to death,
She is in danger,
I make an entry at the perfect time!"
Run! Run!
I thrashed those men and rescued her…
but the heroine didn't fall for me,
Tell us how a deer looks?
Only then we shall tell you if we spot any,
In the dense cactus forest…
An angel lost her way
Today on wards, everyone should address me as your wife Valli Devayani,
Starting today, you are Valli Devayani Samedha Subramaniyam,
There, your wish is granted,
As you wish, Lord,
Check the tea, It's boiling on the stove,
Okay, I'll check on it,
Where are you guys off to?
No where, Dad, Just stepping out,
-Did you convey it to him yet? -No, Wait,
-Welcome, -Greetings,
Have a seat,
Bless me, Lord Shiva,
Uncle Sangili, get us two more teas please,
The play season is now over,
So you'll just roam around doing nothing for the next six months, right?
But, it isn't the same for you two,
You have a grown up daughter,
You must take care of her studies,
Later, you have to marry her off,
You need to be financially strong,
Why don't you find some job?
Actually, we are here to discuss the same,
Do you want any help?
Do you need money?
-No, we don't need anything, -We don't…
What's going on?
-Why aren't you guys answering me? -Sir…
Six months of stage play and six months of labor work, that's our life,
We perform from dusk till dawn but there isn't much audience these days,
Stage plays are welcomed only during the temple festivals,
Apart from that it's nothing,
Like you said, we have a daughter to raise,
But the income is not sufficient,
So, we've thought about moving to the city and finding some work there,
Dad, even I'm planning to move abroad, work there for a couple of years,
and then start some business once I'm back here,
Over the last month, I've been noticing a change in you all,
But, I never expected any of this,
Since I was 15, all I could think of was this stage and nothing else,
And you guys want to abandon this business and leave for good!
You guys aren't dedicated enough towards this,
That's it,
In the coming Maasi Kalari event,
the "Valli Thirumana" stage play will take place in Solai Aandavar temple,
And now, I will play the lead role of Lord Murugan in it,
The least you could do is come watch it,
Don't think of this as the end!
-But, Dad… -Shut up!
What are you gonna do after moving abroad?
You'll learn your lesson only when you will struggle after wandering useless,
To hell with you all!
Get lost!
They think the play won't happen if they leave,
Okay then,
-Okay, Bye, -See you, Bye,
Let's go,
My dad doesn't believe in me at all, right?
When have our parents ever believed in us?
Don't beat yourself,
I can't lead this life anymore,
Did you see how my dad was treated by that politician the other day?
I couldn't bear it yet I sang praises of that minister,
Either go with the flow or cut all the ties,
Your dad won't understand any of this,
Look at how they all judge us?
I'm done with the stage play, Enough of being a street artist!
The MLA, who came yesterday…
Look at the respect and hospitality he was given,
He started off as a thug and then rose to fame,
What if he ended up dying in his early stages?
Never look up to such guys as a role model, Kumara,
Hey,
ten years ago there was a tailor in our village who took up petty jobs,
Today he owns 40 trucks,
He runs a college named after his father,
Here's one more,
A guy started a toddy shop 20 years ago…
but today he owns a brewery,
I am ready to work hard but I need good returns,
Let's put our lives on the line, What's the big deal?
You do it, Why are you dragging me into this?
I have made up my mind,
I'll move to abroad, make a fortune
and then I'll jump into politics here,
The rage doesn't suit your innocent face,
This idea is worth less than a dime,
You are a good comedian only on stage,
Your jokes don't work off stage,
Now, let's start, Time to watch the play,
He says he's gonna jump in to politics, my foot!
Hey!
Hey, get up! Leave!
-Kids aren't allowed at this time, -Get lost!
A woman dances in skinny clothes and you'll rush to watch it,
What play is it? "Valli thirumanam?"
No,
It's "Kathamaba Comic" starring Manimeghalai
and Radha Selvi,
You're drooling, Here, wipe it, Watch the play,
-Look at them, -Yeah,
They dance the whole night,
True,
Where as, you just stand there, enacting the role of Naradhar
and earn easy money,
-Are you telling me that I can't dance? -Yes, you can't,
-You think my knees are dead? -Of course,
-I dare you, -Watch me now,
-Just go and dance, -Watch me!
-Okay, -I'll show you,
One, two, three, four…
Awesome!
-Silence! -Bro…
Time to dance To the real "Kuthu" track
I can smell the fragrance of talc all over
Stop showing off your boxer
I can even hear the toothless laughter
All of you Tom, Dick and Harry
Please calm down and sit down quietly
My dear Charile's angels
I won't order you because I consider you as deities
Wow! What's that sound?
Once upon a time there was a famous harmoniumist from our land,
His great grandson traveled around the world and became a music pundit,
Please welcome Mr, Danglin!
Rock it, Danglin!
All the Pennies In the club
All the 50 cents In the club
DJ Dangli, hit the music!
Out of all the Pennies I only sing for my Penny
Play the songs of 50 cents And I'll dance with my shawty
If there's anyone above pennies and cents
That'd be my hottie
If there's anyone above pennies and cents
That'd be my hottie
So, bend it like beckham And I'll tell you when I am done

Well done, Danglin bro!
-Welcome, -Greetings,
-How's your father doing? -He is fine,
-So, did you tell him? -Yes,
Have a seat,
Well, his youth is over,
-Also, you must secure your future, -True,
You can't keep doing the same thing,
-Well, what do I say…, -Careful,
Who are they?
The buffoons who perform in plays,
The best stand up comedians around here,
All their jokes have an erotic touch,
I asked you to wait and watch it the other night but you left,
-Arrange one lakh rupees, -How much?!
One lakh,
One lakh?
Yes,
That's the minimum amount you'll need to travel abroad,
-You got that much? -No, I don't…
-Hey, Elaya, -Yes, sir?
You were looking for a back drop for our college play, right?
-Please help her with it, -It's okay, We'll manage, sir,
Don't worry, they are trustworthy,
You can get my number from him, I'll do the needful,
Sir, who is she?
My daughter's friend,
They study in the same college,
She's Sri Lankan,

Don't you guys have any plans to get married and have a family?
Or do you want only "Self satisfaction" life long?
-What do you mean? -My foot!
The snake must spread it's hood or else it'll die,
There! Now do you understand why I address your dad as my mentor?
I get it,
They say they want to move to abroad for three years and work there,
Can't you advice them on that?
It's a relief that they are quitting being clowns,
Don't change their mind, Let them do what they want to,
They will drive you crazy, So, let's better get going,
Like we don't have better jobs! Where to? To sir's house?
To work,
You heard that? They are going to work,
-To work? -You heard it right, Don't get excited,
He's shocked about everything we do,
The snake must spread it's hood, When are you spreading yours?
THONDI PRAWN FARM

Now drive,
My dad will be in the temple, Let me butter him up for the money, Wait here,
Rowdy!
Hey!
Why was she here?
She needed photocopies of these,
She is forging documents,
Hey!
Hey, Rowdy,
Stop calling me that,
Fine,
Just answer my question and I'll leave,
What is it?
Didn't you see me in Rameswaram?
I had been to Nisha's house and no, I didn't see you,
Stop acting,
Aren't you a refugee?
You don't look like one though,
Are you trying to stereotype refugees with dress code and their plight?
That's why I am asking, What's your plan?
I keeping seeing you around,
you indulge in forgery, making duplicate certificates,
Some day the cops will get you,
You'll learn your lesson then,
I'll learn a lesson?
I know your country's law and order better than you,
And don't even get me started on the police here,
But one thing's for sure,
My professor has high hopes for me
and I'll live up to his expectation,
So, don't ruin it,
"The show is over and even the host has left thanking the audience"
"Wake up Lohithasa, you are not a warrior but a child artist"
Where's your father?
He left as soon as the class got over,
Your friend is a really good actor,
She is very talented,
-I saw her with a guy the other day, -That guy?
He lives in Mandapam camp,
That's Elaya's sidekick,
He's like a brother to her, You got nothing to worry about,
Okay,
-Let me go and talk to her, -Okay,
Your acting was mind blowing, I mean, even without any backdrop,
-Let me know when you need it done, -Why are you so concerned?
Who else will be concerned for you?
What did you say?
What's wrong with wanting the well-being of our closed ones?
Oh! I see,
Finally there's a smile on your face,
Forget the past,
Call me this Sunday, I'll come and do the needful,
-I won't, -Then I'll just come and meet you,
Sir, I have warned you to not visit at this hour,
You're suppose to report at the police station,
What's that police officer doing here?
Stop the bike,
I repeat,
Obey me and you can lead a happy and peaceful life here,
Sir!
Come on sir, that's not the way you talk to a lady,
What are you doing here at this odd hour?
She didn't report at the station to sign, Hence, I came to inquire,
Is this how you inquire?
Shall we take this to the police station?
Do you think she has no one behind her back?
You carry on,
Dude, did you notice the look she gave you?
I think she has fallen for you,
Did you see her staring at that officer?
You're right, She is a rowdy,
Duh! Look at their names, Karuvayan, Kareem!
Look where we ended up!
Whom are you looking for?
-Mr, Kareem, -Tell me, what is the matter?
Karuvayan sent us,
Senthil, they are the drivers,

VALINOKKAM
-Mr, Kareem asked us to hand this over, -Yeah,
Here,
Where can we buy toddy here?
You'll get it near the sea shore,
-Sure? -You'll find some palm toddy,
Dude, this toddy…

What a feeling!
Tell me, sir,
Did you guys start?

Hello, tell me,
Kumara, where are you guys?
Did you cross Erwadi?
Was there any check post on the way?
No, We saw none,
Something serious has happened here,
The vehicle must be safe at any cost,

Do not take the Ramanathapuram route,
Paramakudi, Vanamudra or Sivagangai, take any one of these routes,
Or else safeguard the vehicle somewhere,

Who was that? What's the matter?
-It was Karuvayan, -Okay,
He was asking if we came across any police check post,
He asked me to take some other route,

Salt,
Are you sure about it?
I'm sure it's salt,
-Is that the vehicle? -Which one?
-Look, a check post! -That's what he was talking about,
You doofus!
Stop the vehicle!
No, something's fishy,
Let's run them over,
Kumara, I don't think it is the right thing to do,
You better stop,
Hey, stop!
Follow them!
Follow them! Now!
Dude, they are chasing us!
They are nearing us!
What do we do now?
Everything's over!
Let's leave the vehicle and escape!
I knew it!
How dare you! How could you put us in trouble?
Who are these people chasing us?
Hey, there's no point in yelling at me!
You've been framed in a serious issue,
Major players are the ones behind this,
Don't get caught, That's all I can tell you,
-That son of a…, -Hang up now!

We must take them to the

Sir, we don't know whom the vehicle belongs to,
I know it and that's why I caught you!
Who is Dhanapal among you two?
-Sir, who is Dhanapal? -Damn it!
Are you asking me back the same question?
Sir, we are just drama troop artists,
We are innocent,
You say the truck has drugs in it worth 20 crore rupees
but we have never seen it once in our lives,
We perform throughout the night to make just a few pennies,
-Sir, I am a ruling party councilor's son, -Oh! Is it?
-Looks like many of them will be exposed, -Yes, sir,
I portray the role of Lord Naradhar, I am a singer,
Hey!
-Just shut up, -Hold on, constable,
They say they are singers, Let them sing,
You start, I'll follow,
Our village, the most precious village amongst all the villages
is where the "Valli Thirumanam" play will be staged
by the expert in prose, music and drama…
and who has earned a reputation that he and music are no different,
Like a constable in police and a smiling hero in the movies
here comes Muthiah, the acting expertise!
With this introduction, I welcome you all to the show

Dude, you take over,
The buffoon is in the stage And he'll keep you engaged

The other guy's phone is damaged,
-Get it repaired, -Okay, sir,
You will run over the toll gates
and claim it to be some big shot's vehicle,
You claim you're a councilor's son,
And you expect us to believe that you're innocents?
Wait and watch, You're dead,
Near Tirupulani
under the leader ship of officer Haridas, a red colored Eicher truck
was seized and investigated,
Stuffed inside salt packages
were 25 kilos Cocaine drug that were seized,
The smugglers are…
Dhanapal, who hails from the Vadakaadu village in Rameswaram,
And the other guy is Muttiah from Kanthal village in Sivagangai,
Sign here,
Sir, who is Dhanapal?
The local smuggler king, The police has been trying to hunt him down for years,
We have only heard his name,
But nobody has ever seen him,
He is the reason behind all this,
So when you know it's not us, then why have you remanded us?
You guys got caught red handed, with evidence,
Sir, it's not like we committed a murder,
We will be remanded in prison for 10 to 15 days
and then someone will bail us out,
The only issue is
we can't fly abroad with a black mark,
Compared to these charges murder is far better,
Sir…,
what do you mean?
Carrying more than 250 grams will earn 15 years of prison without bail!
Now you're caught with 25 kilos in possession,
There are charges against him in two states,
Hello,
The police seized our stuff,
What?
It's been five years since the police seized our stuff,
That too not the CBI but state police,
Not even the local police,
but a team under the leadership of the new SP,
What happened to Dhanapal and what about our stuff?
As I said, the police seized our stuff,
Kareem felt something fishy and sent couple of newbies,
So, Dhanapal escaped,
My foot!
If Dhanapal was at it, he'd have not let them seize the stuff,
Who gave Kareem the permission to do so?
Now we lost our stuff!
Do you realize it's worth? Do you know how many of them I've to answer?
Shit!
Hey,
hope we won't get into any sorts of trouble,
No, we won't be in trouble, What do we now, sir?
This is nothing new,
It's a usual police thing,
They will act all strict when they take charge,
We must nip them in the bud,
Do one thing,
Ask Mr, Kareem to meet me immediately,
-Okay, sir, -Now, hang up,
To hell with these guys,
DISTRICT CHIEF JUDGE PUDUKKOTTAI
Did they beat you?
-Yes, madam, -They are thieves, madam,
They tried to escape when they saw us,
They met with an accident when we chased them,
That's how his face got scarred,
Did you smuggle this?
No, madam, It was there in the truck we were driving,
Both are the same,
Here, sign this,
I am not Dhanapal, madam,
Prove that in the court,
Thanks, madam,
-Since when did you join here? -Last night, madam,
This is the highest quantity we've seized in the last five years,
-Yes, madam, -Looks like you did enough ground work,
-All the best, Do well, -Thanks, madam,
Hey,
I am not Dhanapal, right? Then why are you crying?
Even if you prove you're Kumaran,
you can't deny that you didn't smuggle it,
You ran over the check post carrying 25 kilos of drug!
Do you think they will let you go? They have some plan,
You won't be allowed to utter even a word,
They shot you and escaped, and you want me to believe it?
I knew you're from here, yet I took you in my team…
because you had no black mark in so many years of experience,
Now I'll put you behind bars instead of them,
What happened?
They escaped, sir,
Sir…
We tried our best but we couldn't catch them,
-The law and order team shouldn't know, -Yes, sir,
They will laugh at us!
Forward their photos to every team,
-Trace their families and inquire, -Okay, sir,
We must catch them at any cost,
How many times have I asked you to not act over smart?
You shouldn't have sent the stuff if there was an issue!
Well, I was not sure about it,
When I had to choose between Dhanapal and stuff…
I didn't want to risk my boss, Dhanapal's life,
Also, the stuff had to reach on time,
Do you think I don't care about Dhanapal?
Why didn't you inform me earlier?
Dhanapal would've not got caught like them!
Even you don't know about your boss!
Who are those boys?
They are newbies,
After producing them in front of judge and returning,
they escaped from the police,
What about the stuff?
The stuff cannot be handed over without them,
The stuff is in the police station,
Any idea where Dhana is?
We can't even talk to him during an emergency,
Our boys said he's in Sethukarai,
-Shall I call him and… -Just do it,
-The minister wants to talk to our boss, -Is he there?
One moment,
-Dhana? -Yes, sir,
-Hello, Dhana, -Tell me, sir,
-Did you hear the news? -Yes,
The new SP says that he'll nab us within six months!
A kingdom built over the period of 25 years!
Do you think I'll let him near you?
Such officers must be nipped in the bud!
We must not spare him,
I want you to finish him off right in front of me!
-We will do it, sir, -How?
Dhana,
I just cannot fold hands and answer to anyone,
I don't care what you'll do,
I want the stuff back!
-Understood, -Okay, sir,
Your son's phone is with me,
I can expose you using this,
So you're a councilor?
I don't care who you are,
You'll be answerable to us, Remember that,
My son will roam around and while away time
but he won't commit such big crimes,
I think you got the wrong address,
Are you telling us that we are fools?
Your son cannot escape from us,
If he comes here, ask him to report at the police station, Mind you!
Sir…,
Hey, why did the constable shoot himself?
You know what?
That will fall on our heads too,
I thought I'll escape and come back to save you but you made a hasty call,
Why did you escape? You could've gone with them,
When have I ever made my own decisions?
Then shut up and come,
I have no idea about where to go and what to do,
Look where Karuvayan dragged us,
First we must catch hold of him,
You wanted to do something different, Well, you did it!
20 years of jail life,
You leave, I'll confess that I did it all,
Leave? Where will I go? Are you nuts?
Our fates are sealed,
They even clicked our photo with the stuff,
By now police would have reached our homes,
Yes, they'd have gone to our houses,
I didn't even inform my dad,
Do you remember anyone's number?
My mom's number,
Won't work out,
I have her friend's number,
But what if she judges me after her I tell about this?
Dude, even in this situation you want to romance?
We don't have anyone else who could help us,
Kumara……
our photos will be published in tomorrow's paper, isn't it?
Everyone will recognize us,
Let's go back to our village in the afternoon?
Why in the afternoon?
By then everyone would've forgotten what they saw in the papers in morning,
MANDAPAM CAMP
Do you really need to do this?
Remember I told you he saved me one night?
-He's in trouble, -Fine, where to?
Vivekanandar Hall,
-You are innocent, right? -Yes,
Okay,
Inform the camp that you'll be on leave for two weeks for a shoot,
Get them a job in Muthupetta Shanmugam's prawn farm,
Let me tell you about the police here,
If needed, they will nab you from any nook and corner,
If not needed,
they will let you go thinking that they'll catch you when needed,
The important thing here is to find out how important you're to them,
Did you inquire about the phone calls to those guys' numbers?
Yes, sir, I got all the details,
Very clean, They are indeed from a drama troupe,
May be it's a cover, like in Gentleman movie the hero runs a poppadom business,
-Inquire the troupe organization, -Okay, sir,
Then marijuana, sea snails, star turtle, sea horses, corals…,
-none of these should be smuggled, -Okay,
Seize every vehicle that belongs to the RR group,
Yes, sir,
The new SP is a pain in the head,
He's got us everywhere, From transport to harbor,
Officers, who once, never even dared to mess with us
are now a days arresting all our trucks,
Are we really helpless?
It is done by who is available, It also depends on the situation,
We can even drill the table legs, stuff the drug inside and smuggle it,
It's different level of creativity all together,
Presence of mind,
You say that the SP has taken it up seriously,
But what are they gonna do? Nab Dhanapal and destroy the stuff?
Don't investigate us, Just go to the harbor……
and ask the customs officer,
All the stuffs are smuggled in officer's and minister's vehicles,
Our minister started his own party,
Hence I think they are trying to frame him in some serious issue…,
and finish him off,
And their target to achieve that is to finish off Dhanapal,
I've just heard about him, That's all,
I'm just a local smuggler,
They are international smugglers,
They can't do anything to Dhanapal,
Dhanapal has seen many SP officers like him,
He is just another one, that's all,
Tomorrow when the sun rises, the stuff will be in our hands,
Who are you guys?
Hey!
Who are you?
Hey, who are you guys?
Where's the stuff?
Go, get it,
Tell me the SP's number,
"9884998828"
Tell me, Sethu,
When do you start night shifts, sir?
Who are you?
Answer my question,
Who the hell are you?
Okay, sir, So you won't answer my question?
Starting today, you will work night shifts everyday,
So, good night,
The stuff is gone?
Yes, sir,
Who was it?
No idea, sir,
NIB escape case,
You lost the seized stuff
and also the convicts,
You also got sold out after moving here,
I give you two months to handover the stuff and the convicts,
You may leave,
MUTHUPET LAGOON
Now, who did this?
They barged into the police station and took it?
Who did it? Dhanapal?
You better go abroad, What do you say?
I can't get a passport, how can I go?
Not a big deal,
Didn't my people travel abroad?
It's your fate but not ours,
Right, why is it our fate?
Let's leave!
Hey!
Just a minute,
Come here,
Is it possible?
Are you willing to go?
We'll deal with the rest,
-I'll go, -Fine, arrange two lakh rupees,
We went to drive truck to somehow make one lakh,
And you ask us two lakh rupees?
Where will we get such huge amount?
I'll talk to my dad and arrange it,
Call up and ask when is the next boat?
Hello,
It's me, Mukundan,
You asked me if I did forgery? This is what I do,
Do you think I'll live here my entire life?
We have no respect here,
The real patriots and honest politicians are in the sidelines here,
That's it,
I…
I have never been in Sri Lanka,
What is the use of going to college?
Inspite of being a graduate I'm yet suffering,
Which country are you planning to go?
Australia,
Send us in a flight too,
It'll cost you ten lakh rupees, Can you arrange it?
-Ten lakh rupees? -And it's not possible right away,
There's lot to be done,
I've has this dream for a long time now,
Traveling in a boat won't be an issue,
Over 2000 people have traveled abroad, so far,
-A boat is leaving from Kollam in 20 days, -Okay
There's a new agent named George,
20 people are allotted for him,
It might get delayed because it's a new boat, What do we tell them?
Tell them we need to send two of them,
Okay,
Hello…,
He is Mr, Shanmugam,
He is the one who helps us all out,
Did you tell him about us?
Hey,
I told him that you are from my refugee camp,
Don't you blabber anything,
I'll arrange everything and let you know,
Okay,
My men will be here anytime now,
Go to the farm along with them,
Okay, boss,
Let's go,
If you don't believe me, check this out,
These are your son's belongings , right?
Yes,
What should I do?
Is your father rich?
He gave the money right away,
He felt so bad,
Such a reputed man,
and it was sad to see him in tears,
Here, I took four and a half lakh rupees from him,
After all the expenses we're left with a balance of 40,000 rupees,
Don't pay the agent a single rupee,
You'll need this money when you reach there, Okay?
Who's the boat driver?
A different agent's guy,
The boy is from the Bhavani camp,
He's educated and has started training to drive the boat,
Okay,
What did you ask him?
I asked him who will be driving the boat,
So the boat drivers are also from your camp?
You're going there illegally,
Hence one of the refugees will drive the boat,
Check those underlined numbers, It's your number, right?
Yes, it's my number,
Yes, Must be calls for Elaya,
Who's that?
My daughter's college class mate,
They are drama troupe artists,
She'd have contacted them regarding backdrop for college play,
Where can I find her now?
In her hostel,
Hey,
if you hog like this,
you'll run out of food and you'll be forced to survive on sea water,
Try and practice fasting,
I am now 25 years old,
If they put me in prison for 20 years, I'll come out at 45,
Then I shall come out and live my life,
Really? You're 25 years old?
Fine, I am 35!
I was just kidding, dude,
Dude, I'm elder yet she calls me a dude!
Age is not a criteria to respect anyone,
-Aren't you both friends now? -Yes,
We both are friends, What about you both?
I'll update you with the details later about when you'll have to start,
-Elaya! -Yes?
When will I meet you next?
If possible let's meet in Australia or…,
in France,
If we meet there, will you marry me?
We shall discuss it, if we meet again,
I was so lonely, until you came along
I wanted to be with you life long
But you flew away
It's so evident that we are in love
Yet why are we drifting apart?
Why hold our love back With a wavering mind
Come, let's fall in love
Dear, you're old, Did you really have to do this?
You shot yourself to save them both and what good did you get out of it?
As I grow old, I am learning to differentiate between the good and bad,
In all these years, I have seen the lives of so many innocents get ruined,
I am one among who enjoyed their play and laughed till my stomach hurt,
Poor guys, let them escape,
Your love is a huge wave
And I sank in it like a sailboat
Sun disappears but The sky knows it'll show up
But knowing that you'll move away I feel even death would be painless
You even showered me with motherly love
And I believed that is All I needed to live
When you defeat me Even the losing cause makes me happy
If that is not a relationship forever Then I wonder what is?
Do you know this girl Elaya who lives in the hostel nearby?
Elaya? She is a very nice girl, She often comes here to make calls,
Even kids carry phone these days but she doesn't use one,
She is a very nice girl, sir,
She doesn't use a phone? Why?
I don't know that,
Where is she from?
The Mandampam camp,
Do you have any photo of her?
I don't have her photo right now,
I shall get it and WhatsApp it to you,
NAGAPPATTINAM RAILWAY STATION
-How many days in Kollam? -Three days,
-How long will you be here? -Until I see you off,
Or else Elaya will finish me off,
So, the same dress for next three days?
Why would I carry luggage?
It feels so free to roam without any luggage,
You'd feel even more free without clothes too,
You're pulling my leg every now and then,
Elaya wanted me to only to see off Kumaran and not you,
I'll leave you stranded! Then you'll learn your lesson,
She asked you to only see off Kumaran?
Whose father paid for this?
So I dare you to leave me stranded,
Fine, chill brother,
-Relax, -Hey!
I think he just abused me in his language, Mind you!
KOLLAM JUNCTION
After clearing the vigilance, the boat might leave any moment,
We must be ready,
Nobody should step out or talk to anyone,
It might raise suspicion and someone might rat us out,
Can anybody here speak Tamil in the Tamil Nadu accent?
Only you may step out,
We'll buy you whatever you need,
Okay?
We'll be informed at once when the boat starts from there,
Don't carry too much luggage,
Carry only important things, tablets, etcetera, Okay?
Who among you is Shanthi?
Where is the balance amount of 50,000 rupees?
I don't have it, sir,
I have a little girl,
Please consider,
This ain't your government bus to waive the charges! You must pay!
I won't come here again,
You will get a call when the boat starts,
You must come to that point,
I'll be waiting there, Okay?
Is everything alright?
Yes, we have arrived at the location,
The boat starts tomorrow night,
There's nothing to worry about,
Fine, I'll come there tomorrow,
-Which place did you say in Kerala? -Kollam,
This is unnecessary, I'm here already, Isn't that enough?
He's innocent and got trapped, hence we helped them,
Don't create unnecessary expectations,
You don't even know if you can meet him ever again,
And that is why I want to come there,
I'll reach there and call you,
Okay?
-What happened? -The boat starts tonight,
We received an information to reach the sea shore by 11,
Elaya might come here, Can I talk to her before we leave?
Can you call her friend's number and inform?
Okay, I'll call her,
Quick, the boat is waiting, They won't wait for us,
-Come, -Wait, I want to call my dad,
Pay the balance amount,
Else move aside,
Step in!
Nothing can be done if you don't have money,
-I don't have that much money, -Then you can't go,
-Don't talk to me if you don't have money, -Please, sir,
What's wrong?
I am falling short of rupees 50,000,
Hence, he isn't allowing me in,
-Only money matters here, Don't you know? -Please,
-You get in, -Here,
Thank you, brother,
Looks like he'll even turn into a cannibal for money,
I have got lots of work to do, sir,
-So please leave, Quick, -Get in,
Happy journey,
Elaya, the police is here in search of you,
This guy has made it a habit!
By putting their own lives at risk,
and following the turtle track in the ocean
to go around the world, Oh my dear children of the ocean
welcome,
Get in the jeep,
May I know the reason?
For four decades our legs carried us
towards a new home but only to realize it's a mirage,
This never ending journey is not news to us,
We once lived as a huge family spread over thousands of islands,
We were expert navigators on the sea,
where we carried out fishing, pearl hunting,
And back then we also use to trade with many countries far away,
From Australia to Africa
with the help of the three kings and their army
our race used to rule the ocean,
Now we lost our families and are pushed to migrate
there by forcing us to travel through the sea that we once ruled
in order to survive, we travel as refugees and orphans,
Welcome,
-Inquire her, -Note down her statements,
Hey!
-Where were you the past two days? -I went to the camp,
Where are those guys?
Who?
The very next day they escaped, you have tried to reach them thrice,
Why?
I had asked their help for college stage decoration,
That is why I tried to reach them,
Is it?
Then why did you meet Muttiah's father?
I've arranged everything, They will definitely call you,
Why did you tell him that?
They are going abroad but I don't know which country,
The agent told me just that,
You're a refugee! How dare you do all this?
Give the agent's number,
Tell us the number,
"900…
36662795"
So I hear that you don't use cell phones,
-Yes, -Why?
I've no interest in it,
That's where the doubt on you sparked,
How do you manage your expenses?
I've friends and relatives abroad, They send us money,
Sir, the number is switched off,
Damn it!
Oh God!
Now, tell me, Where are they?
-Visakhapatnam, -Again a lie!
Fine, I'll come there tomorrow,
Which place in Kerala did you say?
From where in Kerala are they leaving tomorrow?
-Speak up! -Cochin,
They are leaving from Cochin,
-Saravana, -Yes, sir?
We must reach Cochin, Arrange a vehicle,
-Okay, sir, -Get up!
I keep on searching but
Looks like the path is going to end
Every place we go is fenced Yet we keep peeking with hope
All the sufferings you go through Will only sculpture you to be successful
Everybody quiet!
We are on a sea journey in pursuit of a new life,
If we don't stand united, then none of us will reach the shores,
Do you understand? Or else we all will die in the ocean,
The food we got now must last until we reach the shores,
So we must share it,
Let's hope for the best and things will turn out good for us,
So be quiet,
Why do our hopes meet with injustice?
-Excuse me, come here, -Yes?
I see a light approaching us,
That must be fisherman,
Don't worry about it,
The agents told me that all officials are paid,
Do you think they will spare us even if the officials are paid?
Over! Everything's over,
We are trapped,
-Go back to the shore, -No way,
-Fool! -It's just the fishermen,
Any problem?
Are you a refugee?
Yes,
You don't look like a refugee,
Look over there,
The refugees are safe, no matter what,
If you want to live, then dive,
Get that life jacket,
He told us to dive and he already dived in,
What happened?
We knew the truth Yet we aren't able to convey it
Hi, sir, I'm Haridas,
-Superintendent of police, Tamil Nadu, -Hi, sir,
In Kollam, our coast guard found and arrested 70 refugees,
Even our souls are locked up And life is getting ruined
We are down trodden With no boundaries to call our land
We don't even have freedom in any land
Everybody please stand up,
Why do even our hopes meet with injustice?
Will our time ever come? Will our feet finally get some rest?
As we cry out loud, will these Vultures show sympathy towards us?
Only you people were in the boat?
Yes, sir,
No, sir, We had five Indians with us,
They dived into the sea and escaped,
Was he one among them?
Yes, sir,
Do anyone of you know him?
No, sir, We don't know him,
I underestimated them both,
I keep on searching but Looks like the path is going to end
I'll give you their photos, Let us know if you find anything,
Saravana, give them the photos,
Everywhere we go is fenced Yet we keep peeking with hope
Our bodies go through hell Yet we yearn for some solace
Live a life of cowardice Still keeps us in an illusion
Even the tired clouds clash And pour down as rain
Don't worry,
We are still in Kerala,
Where is my friend Muttiah?
He must be somewhere here,
If he had died, his corpse would have washed ashore,
The ocean doesn't need the dead, It'll wash his corpse ashore,
They were in here, sir,
We took birth in this world
-Get in, -Yet we forgot why we are here
I live a life without any vision
Yet I still keep searching for Light without closing my eyes
I keep running Without looking out for anyone
I keep swimming in an endless ocean
Our prayers won't be answered Unless our fates change
Was he wearing a life jacket?
Then don't worry, Someone would have definitely saved him,
He'll come back to the shore for sure, Don't worry,
Kumara,
don't worry,
He will come back to you,
Be strong,
I'll never miss this whenever I visit Kerala,
Here, have some,
Any idea how many cases I can frame you for?
You remember so many sections in law when you want to punish,
But do you have any idea about our rights mentioned in the law?
Why discuss that?
Once he arrives, you may go free,
So much greed?
Isn't it?
In order to achieve something big in life,
you lost everything,
And here you are!
What was Muttiah's fault?
What was his fault?
Trusting you?
Kumara, what are you doing?
Stop this foolishness,
He blindly followed me everywhere, like an innocent kid,
That was his only fault,
He was always happy following me,
Now, where will I find him?
Where will I find him?
SP, what are you doing there?
Seal every business run by Rengaranjan,
It's been a while since I posted you there,
Where is Dhanapal?
When will you catch hold of him?
I need Dhanapal to bring Rengarajan to the streets,
Why is your head bowed down?
What's the matter?
Aren't you aware of everything that's happening?
I thought well before making the decision,
I didn't expect they will be so serious,
Let's see how far they will go,
Until then make sure our TV channel is quiet,
Knowing that you're in trouble
all the opposition parties are inquiring about you,
Especially, there are lot of messages from the Center, in Delhi,
We might be at loggerheads now,
But if I fall at his feet, he'll forgive me,
If we set up a mediator then it's like screwing ourselves,
Just try talking to that SP,
Yes?
It's me, Ansari,
Ansari who?
RR group MD, sir,
I expected a call from you way earlier,
Well, isn't there a right time always?
I have the anger to finish you off,
That's how much you have embarrassed me,
You made me bow my head in shame, at the court,
You are mistaken,
We got nothing to do with that, sir,
What do you want now?
Well, you're a guest here, in our place,
I'm inviting you to my home,
I'll arrange a feast,
I know what delicacies you love,
I'll ensure everything is served,
Compared to your feast, I've been promised more along with a promotion,
There's no use talking to me
because the control switch is in Kottai,
Sir, you want Dhanapal, right?
I'll help you nab him,
I know how to nab the real Dhanapal,
So, just be prepared to face the heat,
Did you escape from prison?
We escaped so that we don't end up in prison,
What about you?
You escaped to save yourself from prison,
I escaped to save my life,
An encounter operation?
-Yes, -Are you a terrorist?
We fight for the justice of those who are suffering, We protest for them,
The common people consider us as their savior,
A little smart person considers us as militants,
The governments considers us terrorists,
Fine,
What's your problem?
Wait,
-What do you want? -Who is the senior official here?
Sir, a local MLA is here,
He wants to meet you,
Is he here?
Bring him here,
Welcome,
Greetings, sir,
Sir,
how can you take such a reputed man into custody?
Just mind your business, Get lost,
Sir!
You are a reputed MLA,
I took up this small case on the CM's order,
And here you are, talking me out of it,
You mean Chief minister?
Yes,
The senior citizen has gone mad since his son is missing,
-I'll take care of him, sir, -Okay,
Don't tell the CM about this,
-You please do your duty, -As you wish, See you,
Sir, what happened?
Ramaiah, this is very high level case,
Come to the office, we'll discuss it there,
Sir…
I feel that Dahanpal is just the arrow,
His masters
must be some politicians,
or a preaching leader,
or some owner of NGO foundation,
The police can never even near them,
They are indeed top notch!
They barged into the station and took back the stuff,
Forget that, You both are innocent, right?
Yes, I swear,
Then why are you running away?
Do you think running away from the problem is the solution?
Our laws are indeed heavy on a common man,
The law doesn't have to listen to our side of the story,
Taking the path of righteousness won't work here,
It's alright that you escaped,
Then did you ever try to find out how and why all that took place?
And why you are being chased?
Did you even think about it once?
And do what?
We are mere street artists,
What can we do about it?
All humans are born equal,
If you don't fight back even in this situation,
then what's the meaning of your life?
Think with a calm mind and you'll find a solution for every problem,
I'll give you the address of a lawyer, one Ms, Mangalam,
Go and meet her,
Yes, whom are you looking for?
Yes, who are you?
-I want to meet Ms, Mangalam, -And you are?
I am Kumaran, Mr, Thangam sent me here,
Come in,
A few days ago,
the arrest made by SP Haridas and team?
So, that's you?
-Yes, madam, -It's all just an ego clash,
What are you doing, Shekar?
Madam, preparing tea for the guest,
No need,
You wait in the car,
Okay, madam,
Do you know Rengarajan, Tuticorin's ex-MP?
Yes, he rules over Tuticorin,
He started a new party and that's what led to all this,
All these issues are linked to him,
So, don't make any hasty decisions,
They already produced you to the magistrate,
Until this issue is solved…,
it is better for you to remain absconding,
Or else, the police must catch hold of Dhanapalan,
But there is no chance of that happening,
Is he really such a big shot?
Rengrajan might have huge reputation today but…,
for the past 20 years, all his political needs are being fulfilled…,
through Dhanapal,
And they want to finish off the powerful Dhanapal,
That's why I'm telling you,
You better remain absconding,
There's nothing more left to happen,
Thanks, madam,
I used to always chicken out and keep running,
But now death is chasing me!
Why must I die at the hands of these strangers?
I must find out Muttiah!
I want to marry Elaya!
I must save the trust that my father has on me,
For all these, I must live!
If I don't fight back even now or if I don't revolt now,
then my life has no meaning!
I am not the king but the joker
Until you find your gang, just wait
Let me start from the scratch,
Right from where this all started…,
I shall start from there,
You'll put us trouble and then act like you're saving us?
Kareem replaced you instead of Dhanapal and framed you, What's my fault?
You've escaped from the clutches of police,
If they catch you,
you'll be eating gruel in prison!
Well, that's up to me, I'll handle it,
First, take me to Dhanapal,
No chance at all,
Because I have never seen him,
Then take me to Kareem,
You are stepping in unnecessarily,
Think twice,
-Yes, bro? -We are here to meet Kareem,
Kareem?
-He's inside, Go, -Come on,
Greetings,
He barged in my house and cornered me, I didn't have any option,
You know that I escaped from police,
I spoke to a lawyer,
Neither can I go to prison nor can I live in hiding,
You tell me what should I do,
VADAKADU, RAMESWARAM
That looks like Kareem's car,
-How are you Kandha? -I'm fine,
When did you return?
-It's been a week now, -Okay,
-Stay in this village for few days, -Okay,
-He'll do the needful, -Okay,
This is all I can help you with for now,
A word in person,
Keep an eye on him,
Okay,
-See you, -Okay,
Come, let's go in,
So you argued with the committee and joined back?
I stood ashamed in the court! You're the nice guy and I'm the bad guy, right?
Make him sign the register and let him go,
-Saravanan, -Sir,
If they release that girl, there must be no objection from our side,
Okay, sir,
So, this is Dhanapal's native?
Neither does he hail from here,
nor does he have a family,
He'll the be the first person to fight for our justice,
For the past 10 years, we incurred lot of loses in the form of lives and assets,
Nobody can be trusted,
He is our sole hope,
Sir, I heard that if we don't solve it within three months
then the higher management might recommend to take action against you,
Will they give me memo?
We'll deal with it,
Who are you?
Hey,
Catch him!
Who's that?
-Hey! -Hey!
Kumara, careful! Catch him!
Guys, catch them!
Catch him!
Help me,
No one must cross our village limits, Cover all the borders,
You sent men to an empty house! Useless fellow!
Do you think I won't know?
I heard he went to his house,
Looks like he left immediately,
Stop giving excuses, Sit down!
You should have got it right in the first attempt,
If Dhana finds out that we betrayed him…,
he won't spare us,
He'll burn us down to ashes! He is a freak!
It was that buffoon who intervened and ruined it all,
Who?
The new driver who got caught with the stuff,
He lost hope and came to us for safety,
Last thing I remember was diving into the sea,
I fainted and later the fishermen saved me,
So, tell me…,
I am meeting you after so long
and you welcome me by throwing a knife right between my legs?
What's the issue?
-Looks like that's where he lives, -Who?
Dhanapal,
So you zeroed in on the main guy?
I never thought that Dhanapal would become a huge problem to us,
If the police nabs him and he rats us out…,
my whole political career will be destroyed,
We have no choice but to finish him off,
If we must join hands with any other party…
then he's not the only problem,
We need to wipe our slate clean before we move on,
Don't come up with a foolish plan again,
Take that new guy's help,
Make sure we don't miss it this time,
It must be the final nail in the coffin,
The origin of everything in this universe
Oh Lord
Oh Lord Vinayaga
Erase all the bad and bestow us with all that is good
Bless us with good days, Lord Vinayaga
Oh Lord Vinayaga
Sir, Kumaran here,
I was thinking of calling you,
I want to meet you,
Shall I come to the harbor tomorrow?
Not there, I want to talk to you in person,
Sir, I'll be attending the Solai Aandavar festival tomorrow,
Can we meet up there?
Hail to…
The Lord Shiva
The Lord sporting the moon on his coiffure
Oh Lord, you are everything that exists
Sangli uncle,
Muttiah, how are you?
-I'm fine, -Where is Kumaran?
He is watching his dad perform,
So happy to hear this,
Looks like it's you who has done the make up,
-Your first play? -Yes,
Hail to the Lord Shiva
Dad…,
-My dear son, -Hey,
Kumara!
-Dad, -Hey,
I was all worried,
How are you?
I am fine, Dad,
I might have been furious with you,
but I never wanted you struggle or suffer,
Elaya told me everything,
Fate has dragged you somewhere and tied a knot,
Be smart and untie that,
I put you in a lot of trouble,
Things didn't go the way I expected,
Forgive us, Dad,
Forgiveness?
We might have lot of expectations,
but life will drag us only in the path it wants to, I realized this only now,
Do you think I can guide the art?
It was the art that was guiding me all these years,
Do you think I can create an artist?
No, the art will choose the right person,
I have no more expectations,
I just want to be myself until my last breath,
Fine, come on,
Dad, just a minute,
An important call, I'll be back,
Hello, where are you?
I'm waiting behind the temple, Can you come there?
-Muthu, -Yes, sir?
-You go and watch the play, -Okay, sir,
-I'll call you, -Okay, sir,
Welcome, hunter,
Welcome to the land of Kurunji, hunter,
I hail from Kolli hills, my profession is hunting,
I set out to hunt and came across a unique deer,
Lord Bhrama would have created many deers
but this deer is a rare one and cannot be caught,
Let me tell you the specialty of that deer,
Why did you want to meet me?
He is one of your men,
He was your driver,
You are not answering my question Instead you're deceiving me
You have seen that deer so Don't refuse and put yourself in trouble
Don't put yourself in trouble
Oh dear, don't invite trouble
Dhanapal is the main guy in your gang,
Why do you want him dead?
Well, that makes my task easy,
He is a problem to both of us,
If he dies someone else will replace him as Dhanapal, After all we decide that,
It could be you,
Come on, sir,
Now that you don’t need him any longer, you want him dead,
Won't that be my fate too?
He's not smart enough, but aren't you?
Take his place for a while
then find a suitable replacement for you
and move out of it and become a politician,
It's not like we don't have other men,
You have suffered enough,
The people above me believe that you are the perfect replacement for Dhanapal,
Okay, sir,
Just tell me when and where I can find him,
I'll finish off Dhanapal,
First we'll get the stuff,
He'll come only to collect the stuff,
But where, how, when and with whom, that's all his last minute plan,
Even we have no idea,
You must get into his team, find that out and let us know,
How can I do it, sir?
I'll ask Kareem to put you under him,
Kareem is Dhanapal's trustworthy,
But don't let Kareem know about our plan,
Because…,
he thinks that he is the next Dhanapal,
Tomorrow morning
20 kilos of stuff will arrive at Rameswaram railway station,
It'll come in two packages,
Is smuggling in the train safe?
Trains are safe,
Load it over there and it'll reach here,
-Can I meet Dhanapal once? -Sure,
Let's this deal get over smoothly,
-Then we'll discuss that, -Okay, sir,
-Dude, -Yes?
Looks like you're a gangster now,
The shores, the boat,
Dude, you appear to me like "Nayagan" Kamal!
So what if we couldn't go abroad and become businessmen?
Let's stay here and become the local don!
Deva! Surya!
We'll fight against the system for people, who suffered like us,
What do you say?
-Had your dinner? -Not yet,
Go and have your dinner,
The train has crossed Mandapam, Come, let's go,
Back to the sea?
They smuggle it so transparently as if they are transporting ice,
NATIONAL PARTY TAMILNADU HEAD OFFICE
I'm demanding a Rajya Sabha MP seat as soon as I join your party,
I hope they don't mistake me,
Nothing of that sorts,
My only option right now, to safe guard myself…,
is to get that seat,
Help me get the seat
and I'll ensure two of our candidates will win the MP elections in my region,
You must put in a word for me to the higher authorities,
They will definitely do it,
I shall fix an appointment and let you know,
But before that just go to Delhi and meet our leader once,
Definitely, Sure,
I hope hereafter your channel will support our party,
Call it our channel, Don't you worry about it,
-See you, -See you,
-Look, he's coming, -Sir!
-Greetings, -Greetings,
Rumors are that the government is against you
and hence you're joining national party,
Is it true?
Greetings, Thank you,
-Sir, one question please! -Answer this one question,
-Sir! -Please!
-Heard the news? -No,
Looks like Rengarajan is going to become a Rajya Sabha MP,
That party…
in order to win in our state
will not hold back from making him the finance minister,
Without our help
Rajya Sabha MP is the highest post Renga can attain,
-True, -Whatever,
He is taking up all the routes to destroy himself,
We must win all the 40 seats in the upcoming elections,
The central government must always be at our behest,
Make it happen!
Now, in that region
we must be very careful,
-Let's wait and then strike, -Okay, sir,
Ask that SP to frame someone and wrap up the case,
Okay, sir,
-Come on, -Come on,
Why so late?
Didn't you start way earlier?
We are not flying down here, We came in a boat!
-Where is the pit? -Over there,
-Come on, -Move,
-Give it, -Come on,
-Give it, -Careful, Slow,
Pull out the log,
Senior, all this is giving me the jitters,
The stuff is on this island,
This is Mundhal, the fishermen's village,
He can travel from anywhere to this island,
The stuff will be smuggled in from here at night,
This is what we have been waiting for all these days,
I want Dhanapal alive!
KAREEM TRANSPORT
-Everything went smooth? -Yes, sir,
Hope you're doing good,
Of course, with your blessings,
He has 40 years of experience,
He knows the sea in and out,
After you went there, Dhanapal called me and gave me an earful,
Your work is done here, You may go home,
But tonight…,
No, you go back home,
Just for today--
His decision is final, There won't be any change,
Now leave,
Come on,
Yes, boss?
Yes,
Kumara…,
Yes, sir?
Hello,
Dhanapal here,
Boss…
I am the reason behind all your problems,
Forgive me,
It's nothing of that sorts,
You are a nice guy, Don't enter this field,
So leave,
-But-- -I said, leave,
Once I am back from Delhi, we must have a grand celebration in our region,
Hello,
The stuff is moved to Nallathanni island,
Dhanapal will be going there,
I'll take care, You relax,
Now that you know where Dhanapal will be tonight, finish him off there,
Look, tomorrow morning when I set foot in Delhi,
call and give me the news that Dhanapal, Kareem and those boys are dead,
Got it?
Sir,
the news is that our team will be dismantled,
Is this why they are pressurizing us to wrap up Dhanapal's case?
Who do they think we are to keep following their orders?
They want us to frame someone and wrap the case,
I'll wrap it up
and finish off everyone before I leave!
Tell me,
My job is done,
We got nothing to do with this case hereafter,
Dhanapal will show up, Catch him and leave us for good,
-Fine, you go home, -Okay, sir,
You're not safe there, I'll take it up from here,
Okay, sir,
Did you just talk to the police?
I escaped from the boat
and when I called Mukundan from Karuvayan's house,
another shocking news was awaiting me,
Hello,
Mukunda, Kumaran here,
Where are you?
She doesn't deserve this for helping you out, She is in prison,
-Your dad is in police station, -When did this happen?
The day you boarded the boat,
They thrashed her real bad, Please come, so that they will release her,
First you go to SP's office,
Tell him that I want to meet him, Okay?
I don't want anyone to suffer for me anymore,
I asked him to tell SP that I'll turn myself in,
-Who are you? What do you want? -I want to meet SP sir,
Sir, I've an important message,
What is it?
It's from Kumaran,
After talking to the SP I understood that
both of our targets were the real Dhanapal,
I took advantage of it,
Let me go free and I'll lead you to Dhanapal,
If you play double games and try and escape from me,
I won't show any mercy on you,
In return, I requested him to release my dad and Elaya,
Make him sign the register and let him go,
Sir, Kumaran here,
Sir, I got inside,
I'll update you if I get any information,
Stay safe and inform me at once when you get any information,
I never expected that Rengarajan will set men to finish off Dhanapal,
Only if Dhanapal is caught alive
I can be free from this case,
NALLATHANNI ISLAND
I knew where Dhanapal would go today,
And now I am going to start my game!
If the police manages to catch Dhanapal tonight,
we'll be free from that case,
If by any chance they finish off Dhanapal,
then we'll replace him and jump into politics,
So, you are playing double game?
Both of those guys will be at home,
Arrest them both, We must remand them in custody,
-Yes, sir, -I'll arrive there directly,
Sure, sir,
Dude,
the villagers look up to Dhanapal as their God,
You're telling me that he asked you for forgiveness,
I feel that we have framed him now,
Hey,
there is no one to show us mercy
and you feel bad for him?
Didn't he frame us?
Let him die,
Tell me, constable sir,
The police have planned to remand you,
I shot myself and saved you both because you looked innocent,
Now look where you have dragged the issue,
Do you think they'll let you go free if you become an informer?
They have also planned to send you both to prison,
If they don't catch hold of Dhanapal tonight, then you'll be the scapegoat,
Don't trust SP,
Run off far away and start a new life, Stay safe,
What did the constable tell you?
If they don't catch Dhanapal, they will arrest us,
The SP showed his true colors!
Nobody can save us except
Mr, Ansari,
Kumara!
-Hey! -Kumara!
Muttiah…,
Are you alright?
Muttiah…,
Muttiah!
Kumara!
Muttiah!
Hey!
Muthu! Get up,
Muttiah…,
Come on, Everything will be fine,
Come on,
Fine, I'll go in, Keep me posted,
Sir, where to?
To Nallathanni island,
Why are you taking the long route? Its 10 minutes from Mundhal,
Shut up and take us in the boat,
Only we know what hardships we face in our work,
Don't add on to my woes,
I'm unable to finish my existing work,
Sir!
Settle down, guys,
Sir, please forgive me, Forgive me,
Please forgive me, Its an innocent mistake,
-I did this out of greed, -Get up, Since when is this going on?
What is it?
Sir, how come the police are also on this island?
Police?
Stay alert guys,
The police must not catch hold of Dhanapal,
Sir, this is too risky,
All your demands will be met,
He must die,
But who is Dhanapal? That's why we asked his photo,
Did Kareem arrive there?
Not yet, sir,
He'll be there as soon as Kareem arrives, Finish him off,
If you alert them with any kind of signal,
then your whole family will be begging on the streets,
Where's the stuff?
Over there,
-Show it, -Please come,
Careful,
Sir, I have nothing to do with this,
Please don't frame me and put me in trouble,
I have a family to take care of,
Here?
Yes, sir,
Tell me, Pandi,
A boat's approaching, Everybody hide,
Okay, sir, Guys, quick!
Hope you remember what I told you,
-Mind you! -Okay,
Wonder how many dead bodies will fall today?
Sir, so he is Dhanapal,
Quiet,
That's Kareem,
Once Dhanapal sets his foot here, lets finish them both,
What's up?
Where is the stuff?
It's all over there,
Hope it's safe and sound,
Of course it's safe,
Don't put me in any trouble,
Clear it off quickly,
Don't worry, We'll move it immediately,
You will get more than you asked for,
No, thank you, Just leave me out of this,
I guess our boss is here,
Sir, looks like he is Dhanapal, All these days he was fooling us,
Hey!
I said, quiet,
Hey!
Dhanapal asked you to leave,
Why are you still here with the villagers?
You are a traitor!
How many of your men have rounded up the place?
You want to finish off Dhanapal and replace him, isn't it?
That's your plan, right?
What are you blabbing?
I am trying to finish off my boss?
I came alone here,
You are the one along with men here!
Sir!
-All police… -Sir!
All of you be quiet,
Let them hack each other to death,
Okay, sir,
Kumara, I have no such intentions,
Boss!
Sir, that's the guy who destroyed the station and took back the stuff,
You! I was waiting for you!
Dhanapal is here, Take cover!
Don't let him escape, sir,
Boss, Ansari betrayed us,
Kumara the police have covered up, Where's that?
So he is Dhanapal?
Here you go,
Kathir, open up the pit!
POLICE HUNTS DOWN THE SMUGGLING DON DHANAPAL
SP HARIDAS TRANSFERRED TO ECONOMIC OFFENSES WING
So much has happened around you
yet you didn't know?
Many huge kingdoms have crashed due to betrayal,
We are nothing compared to those,
You got trapped in this mess by accident,
I wanted to save you,
But fate is that you were drawn into this to save me,
Where did you get so much courage from?
From you,
I felt you were the genuine guy amongst all
and I decided to come to your rescue,
I am a bad example,
Kareem trusted me with his life and died,
This is a dark world,
Someday it'll sacrifice me too,
I must start a new life from this point on wards,
You can leave,
You won't have any more problems,
A beautiful life awaits you,
Go and live a peaceful life,
FEW WEEKS LATER
-Good morning, sir, -Good morning, Saravanan,
-How are you? -I'm good,
-What about you? -I'm fine,
Sir…
are we really incapable of arresting Dhanapal?
If we really had to arrest someone, then it must have been the CM and Rengarajan,
But can we do that?
-No, sir, -Right?
Come on, let's keep doing our duty,
They say friendship with the wrong people will put you in trouble,
I didn't listen, I got stabbed for you, and I'm still playing Naradhar,
You'll play Naradhar all your life!
Hey, I'll be leaving early,
Are you leaving me?
Leave you and go where?!
I'd be in some corner of this world,
Go wherever you wanna go,
When I become a star, I'll find you and marry you,
Muttiah, I forgot to tell you,
I'll go to Chennai within the next six months and become a star!
Thank God! You finally don't want to jump into politics,
Happy to know that,
Hey…
cinema is the shortcut to politics,
I'll go to Chennai, become a star…
and then become the CM!
You need not become a star for that,
-Shut up! -Kumara!
It's getting late, Go and start the show,
In a minute,
Here I go,
Greetings to all! Greetings to each one of you!
Let me greet and welcome you all
In return, just bless me y'all
I guarantee a good show Till sunrise for you all
Greetings to all! Greetings to each one of you!
Greetings to all!
