Fighter cocks!
To live and to keep their place, fight ferociously,
Techniques of cock fights and expertise in raising fighter cocks,
knowing it and classifying it, man has turned that into an art,
Cock fights which is a common feature in all the old civilizations,
it has a special place in the Tamil history and it's culture.
Right from the times of Sangam literature to modern writings,
cock fights are mentioned in many epics and books,
'Pouncing, pushing, backing, using claws,
though beaten with never say die attitude,
it fights war face to face, without showing the back'.
Towards the end of 20th century,
most of the governments through out the world,
as cruelty of animals have banned cock fights,
but people have kept alive this traditional art.
Experts in cock fights, keep the secrets of this art form,
and it's still a tradition to teach them only to their disciples,
cock fights are not just fight between cocks,
it's fight between men,
in this too, vengeance, betrayals,
spilling of blood, everything is there.
At times vengeance in the cock fights ends in death too. Today... Late night...
You go, check in the house.
Brother!
It's bIood aII over.
l don't know what happened to him, brother.
What are you saying?
- Shall we inform brother?. - No.
How he's staring? Move!
Today... Early night...
Dad!
Few days earlier, on a Sunday evening,
just out of the town, two groups of about 100 to 150 people had gathered,
they were arranging cock fight as usual,
suddenly police raided the competition, started this!
PoIice! Escape!
Why did you steaI the cocks?
They're making aII this fuss becasue of this, right?
Let's make it mince meat.
The competition took place in Rathinasamy's place.
Rathinasamy, a police lnspector,
but belongs to a family which has been in cock fights for many generations,
landlord!
To him everything else is second to cock fight.
He'll do anything to win in that.
You can never catch me! Try it!
If I catch, you'II see heII!
If I get down into it...
Try it, you keep your shoes poIished aIways, try to catch me.
Keep them safeIy, Iest may get caught.
Everything's safe.
Rathinasamy has never lost a cock fight to anyone.
Except one man! Pettaikaran!
Pettaikaran isn't as rich or powerful as Rathinasamy.
But in the cock fights going on between them for the past 30 years,
Rathinasamy has never won over Pettaikaran.
- Buddy, they stoIe our cock. - What are you saying?
Yes, it's a sentiment, don't know what happened to it?
Stop!
- Buddy, got caught? - Good judgement.
Change the gear and get going.
- Lawyer sir. - Tell me, Durai.
- PoIice raided and arrested brother, come to W1.- Okay.
You never Iet us eat and take rest at home even on Sundays.
You come out to troubIe by earIy morning.
What's so attractive in this?
Keep it safeIy.
Stop...if get hoId of you, I'II break your Iimbs.
BIoody! Jumping on face without wearing a brief.
BIoody! Are you bIind or what?
- What's this? - Just keep watching the fun.
AIways chasing someone to catch, run faster sir!
Nobody could win over Pettaikaran because of his cocks.
He never sells it to anyone, just lets his disciples to raise it.
So, the fighting techniques taught to the cocks remain secret within the group.
And then those three people with him,
Durai,
runs a bar in Thirupparankundram,
he finances to get ready the cocks to fight for Pettaikaran,
Karuppu,
he's the guy who initiates Pettaikaran's cocks to fight in any competition,
he hasn't lost a fight yet as a jockey,
Ayub,
he treats the injured Pettaikaran's cocks in fights,
gets it ready to fight in the next round to win.
Don't know why I went to work...
How can you take rations of so many cards aIone?
Can't you ask your son to heIp carry it?
Before I can find him, I can carry it to home.
The chase has begun, your son is on run.
If I catch you, you're dead.
Oh no, he's standing here onIy.
- Greetings. - Come, nephew!
Can't you see much now?
Are you going to work properIy? - I'm going to work onIy, uncIe.
Have a coffee?
- No need uncIe. I've work. - You've work?
- NagavaIIi wants to see you. - I'II come there, uncIe.
- Come home. - Come behind me, we can catch him.
TeII NagavaIIi that I'II come tomorrow, uncIe.
Police raided as the cock fight between Pettaikaran and Rathinasamy was in progress,
Look, they're coming running.
Buddy, uncIe saw me don't know what he'II teII with NagavaIIi.
No competition and poIice have raided,
and they've stoIen our cock too,
I'm worried about brother's reaction, and you're worried about your Iove.
You too wiII know when you'II face it yourseIf.
Stop there I say! Stop!
Buddy! Have we kiIIed anyone?
We organised a cock fight and they're after our Iives.
This is aII Rathinasamy's pIan.
Buddy, jump into water.
Jump!
Subbaiah head constabIe...
Why are you asking me to jump? You jump.
Next time, I'II not Iet you off so easiIy.
Nobody can escape easiIy, everyone wiII go to jaiI.
If I had asked them to raid, why wouId they arrest my boys too?
If I couId do, why wouId I do now after so many years?
No need to fight anymore, Iet's withdraw.
You can't say that, I've a bet.
I've to decide whether or not about next fight.
No sir, I can't fight with sir anymore.
If the Ioser wants a fight you must accept it.
Why are you changing the tradition?
Who's changing the tradition?
They've started the new tradition of raiding the competition and steaIing the cock.
Are you backing off in the fear of Iosing?
I'II cut your throat, we are winners, why wouId we think about Iosing?
Wait.
WiII you be happy if I say yes?
Yes, I'm backing off in the fear of Iosing to you, okay?
They're winning championship of Iosers, why are you denying that opportunity?
- Won't they get vexed? - BIoody...
There's nothing short cursing.
Okay brother...cooI...cooI...
Why are you taIking irresponsibIy before an eIderIy man?
Brother, the matter is, I'm Iosing continuousIy,
the must keep competing tiII I win.
I've accepted that I can't fight and win against you, right?
You saw his wry smiIe, didn't you?
Let him smiIe, forget it.
PeopIe know who is better taIented.
If he backs off from fights,
he'II waIk away with the pride of victory,
and shouId I Iive aII my Iife as a Ioser?
I can't accept this.
Don't keep on harping about that onIy.
Don't I know what to do?
He caIIed poIice today to stop from Iosing, next time he may kiII to win.
You don't do anything in haste, l'll see that he accepts to fight.
I'II keep quiet without troubIing him on your word.
If he refuses you aIso...
He has Iost faith in his cocks, that's why he's getting down to these tricks.
Hereafter it's not safe to fight with him.
Hubby!
If I accept the fight for honour, aII of you'II in troubIe.
ShouId we get insuIted for this, brother?
Even in death, the pride is in dying victorious.
If he accepts, it'II end with cock fight, if not, I'II not spare him.
- Have you won? - He must...go away mother.
Have you seen your son? He has come after Iosing yet again.
If you want me to win over him, get back the stoIen cock.
- Our cock mustn't be with Rathinasamy. - Police Quarters Othakkadai
- Go to every home of his cronies. - Head Constable Ramesh's house
Keezha Street Thiruparankundram.
Aramandaiyyan's house
HeIIo!
lt's not in Aramandiayyan's house or in quarters.
- We've searched. - Okay, cut the Iine.
It's not in Aramandaiyyan or in quarters,
they're going to Rathinasamy's house.
Just a cock is stoIen, why are you mourning for it? Go home.
Why are you dismissing it cheapIy?
It was won 13 fights. Can't Ieave it so easiIy?
Mela street Ayankottai.
Rathinasamy's house
Railway Quarters
Thangapandi's house
- HeIIo. - I'm Sundar here, brother.
- Thangapandi of RaiIway coIony... - Who is it?
CounsiIIor who was kiIIed in Tharapadi, his brother,
there's a new coop in his home, I think our cock is there.
If our cock is with hen, cut the hen.
Wait, don't go aIone.
- Won't it be right if he goes? - No.
I said you may get scared.
Buddy, you stay here, I'II go aIone.
If I Ieave you aIone, Durai didn't send me for that, right?
Buddy, it's caged aIong with hen.
It has aIready Iaid an egg.
lt's perfect, let's take that also after informing brother.
Who are you? What are you doing?
Hey! If you shout, I'II cut your throat. SiIence!
Yuck!
Hubby! Karuppu on Iine.
Go ahead.
It's aII over here. ShaII I steaI it?
You went there because they stoIe our cock.
How can you do the same mistake which they did?
- The hen is perfect...siIence... - What?
Nothing brother...here...
- We've got it. - No use in stealing their hen.
- Just do what I toId you. - ShaII I bring it, brother?
If you Ieave it there, my breed of cocks wiII grow there.
Kill it and come.
Very happy boy!
Though I didn't see the girI properIy, she was fair,
agreed she saw me with fear,
yet, I feII for her.
How Iate night you came back to home?
You...
I've never gone crazy over any girI tiII now.
What a beauty!
She was fragrant, her hair too.
She was aromatic!
Though she beIongs to enemy zone, she was very attractive
Take it.
He'II go mad one day taIking to himseIf.
Okay, I'm your son, how can I be different?
You can't understand my Iove.
Where did you get the coffee from? TasteIess.
How many times I've toId you to buy miIk and make coffee at home?
Can't you do that aIso?
- Why are you so Iazy? - As if I'm sIeeping aII day.
Yesterday onIy I soId kerosene to the shops,
they'II pay money tomorrow onIy.
I'm confused over how to make ends meet tiII then.
You didn't bother to ask about that.
But you know to order and question why I didn't do this.
If you do your duty properIy, why wouId I ask you?
What great duty have you found?
How do you run the famiIy without kerosene in home?
Are you questioning me?
How Iong this house is under mortgage?
Have you ever thought of redeeming it?
Lender is asking embarrassing questions.
I've to answer him aIso.
I'm your mother and aIone, I'm struggIing to meet both ends meet,
did you ever think of sharing my burden?
I'm taIking to you.
- Okay mother, stop your Iecture. - You spend aII the day with him.
Do you get atIeast a penny from him?
Stop it, don't taIk about brother, it'II spoiI the reIationship.
BIoody reIationship! UseIess scoundreI.
You spend aII time at home with cocks.
Watch out, one fine day I'II cook aII of them and eat.
If you dare touch it, I'II kiII you.
I seII drugs, they'II pay anyway.
Hey Sundar, come here.
Who cut the hen in my neighbour's pIace?
- Who did you caII Iast night? - Why are you asking me that?
BIoody! I saw you Iast night, don't Iie to me.
We stoIe the cock and hid it in neighbour's pIace.
Fearing troubIe if it's in my house, hid in the neighbour's pIace.
WiII you inform them about it?
- Punch him. - Don't beat me.
Punch him down. Pin him.
They toId me to caII and I did, Karuppu cut the hen.
If we steaI the cock, wiII you kiII the hen?
What eIse you want me to do then?
You want to give our breed to you.
We shouId've taken you in yesterday's meeting.
What's this? You stoIe the cock, we shouId be doing this but you're doing it.
AIready brother doesn't want any more competitions with you.
If we fight now, we can never compete in the cock fight.
Don't you know that? SiIIy...
Go...go home and teII your boss.
Buddy Iook, he's running shit scared.
Hey, don't hit me...
I'II crush you!
You stoIe their fighter cock without my knowIedge and brought bad name to me,
now, you want me to fiIe a case on him,
I'II taIk to them.
Leave it.
My nephew got hurt in this fight.
If I wanted I wouId've got them arrested and Iynched them in jaiI Iong back,
why didn't I do it?
My aim isn't finishing them, but to win in the cock fight.
lf you steal their cock, they're bound to cut our hen,
already they're refusing for cock fight thinking we raided the place,
we must somehow make them accept the challenge,
- so what l'm saying is... - lf we spare him, he'll trouble us.
Who's asking you to spare him?
He wants you not to trouble him with this problem.
Won't he get caught in any other problem?
lf he does, finish him.
Why did you come here? PIease go away.
Why are you getting tensed?
I'II see the girI once and go away.
If they see me with you, they'II beat me again.
Okay, where's the girI studying?
Are you human? They beat me for a hen.
That girI is going with her father.
- Go and see her. - Which one?
I saw her!
She's ravishing!
Look, there she goes!
Buddy, I saw her so I'm warning you,
she'II not faII for you,
for our range we can get NagavaIIis onIy.
The point is not whether I get her or not,
if I see the girI speaking just once,
...that Madras man wants to buy the cock for a price,
- he's ready to pay Rs.15000. - Why don't you teII I don't seII cocks?
You heard what drug peddIer Sundar said, right?
That girI cried when I cut the hen, right?
This is ridicuIous, mom.
TeII her what she wouId miss if she doesn't appIy for this schoIarship.
Leave us aIone men. I'II taIk to her.
You are spoiIing my chiId with your pampering.
Sweetheart, why don't you want to go to AustraIia?
AII of us wouId Iike to be there.
AppIy for this schoIarship, chiId. You can even settIe down there.
As what? As an outsider.
I beIong here.
When I was your age,
there used to be 50 AngIo-Indian famiIies in this very same coIony.
Now there are onIy 3 famiIies Ieft, our days are over in this Iand,
you don't have a future in this pIace, my chiId.
You've to move on.
Who are you? What do you want?
- She knows me. - I'm asking you, who are you?
Those guys are our opponents,
- they gave the stoIen cock to your brother. - Hey, who are you?
What do you want?
Last night...I had no other choice, I had to cut your hen.
Brother's order, can't disobey.
Hey, I'm asking you, what's the matter?
I've brought a repIacement for it.
You were crying.
I was moved by your feeIings.
If you hatch eggs, it'II be good.
WiII you Ieave the pIace or not?
I'II take the bag tomorrow morning.
Stafford, l don't want to see you bringing any more of these damn birds,
bloody cocks into the house of mine.
Better you start studying...
Though not to my expectations, she's great.
This is too much.
She's wearing shorts.
Oh my God! What happened to me?
Oh my God! What has really happened? - Son, eat properIy...eat...
Like lightning strikes, you've struck me...
Were you washed clean with milk?
Were you dried without sunlight falling on you?
l'm totally confused and floating in air...
l'm totally lost...
Oh my God! What happened to me?
Oh my God! What has really happened?
Were you washed clean with milk?
Were you dried without sunlight falling on you?
l'm totally confused and floating in air...
l'm totally lost...
Take this!
Where is he?
Here!
He's Iike a Westerner's son.
I didn't teII him anything.
l'm dizzy like a tree hit by cyclone...
Like water less earth...l'm thirsty...
My heart is after you...
Like an owl l'm awake all the night...
You're tilling my life...
You're weaving me with your eyes...
Oh my God! What happened to me?
Oh my God! What has really happened?
l'm totally confused and floating in air...
l'm totally lost...
Hey come here! Chasing our girIs?
With rogues Iike you chasing them, they are unabIe to go out freeIy.
If TamiI girIs face a probIem, you aII gang up to question it,
but if our girIs face the same probIem, wiII you come to their rescue?
You caII them names as 'Appakari, Sattakari',
and say cheapIy this is routine in their Iives.
TiII now I was after her without any intention.
The moment he toId me, I made a decision,
that I must Iook after the girI very weII hereafter.
Who eIse can secure her better than me?
Yes!
My friend, taIk to him.
Nothing much, a smaII in the quarters,
now that we are friends, I'm asking you.
Friend?
I'm taIking to you because Sundar toId me.
- You know it, right? - Is it so?
- PIease take off your goggIes. - Why? Why?
Hey fooI! WouId anyone wear dark gIasses at night?
Remove it, fooI!
Buddy, he's our friend, don't threaten him.
He's handsome.
Buddy, you keep quiet.
- Remove it. - Why?...why?
I said remove it.
He needs to pay Rs.500 to Sundar for drugs,
if he doesn't become our friend, he knows Sundar wiII not suppIy him, right?
Buddy, aren't we friends? You wear it, buddy.
Brother may get angry.
Hey, Iook there's someone here to caII you as brother.
TiII now I was taIking to you respectfuIIy, how dare you caII him brother?
Wear the goggIes.
- Remove it. - Wear it.
- Remove it. - What do you want?
My friend.
- HeIIo. - HeIIo.
HeIIo.
Go and stand there.
Go I say!
Buddy!
My heart is simmering...
She's adding fuel to the fire...
Without any thread, why she's weaving my life into her?.
Why are you killing me?
Why you embedding yourself in my eyes?
You're chewing away my life...
You're killing with your eyes...
Oh my God! What happened to me?
Oh my God! What has really happened?
Like lightning strikes, you've struck me...
Were you washed clean with milk?
Were you dried without sunlight falling on you?
l'm totally confused and floating in air...
And then buddy... Did you observe she saw me?
He's that girI's brother.
Don't bowI on Iegs.
Wherever I bowI, he's defending it with his Iegs.
- Can't you watch and pIay? - Why are you tied down here?
Get going.
How dare you beat me in my area! I'II come back with my gang.
Come quickIy, I'II wait for you here onIy.
Look, he's hitting the ball on top.
What's wrong with you?
Are you crazy?
What do you want? What's your probIem?
K P Karuppu
- What do you want? - BaIIs!
- What? - BaIIs...baIIs...
Instead of foIIowing me where ever I go, why can't you just come home and taIk to me?
Buddy, she insuIted me by saying come to home.
That's why I warned you to stay away from her.
Look, you're now in troubIe.
How can you face her now?
Is come to home such a bad word, buddy?
Watch now!
Come to my home.
Look at your dirty face! I'II beat you with sIippers.
I'II teII sister NagavaIIi.
I was just testing you, carry on.
WouId she reaIIy teII NagavaIIi?
Is that the probIem now? TeII me what shouId I do next?
What am I to teII you? It's aII over for me and you too!
Come to home means, you come to home.
No buddy, I was taught Iike that onIy.
- You can caII a fIower as bIossom, bIoom - It can be caIIed as sister said.
- Why did she say it so angriIy? - You've to ask her that.
I'm here! Okay?
I toId him to come home thinking he'II not dare come home.
I never expected he'II turn up here.
We came here to offer prayers, right?
I expected a grand feast, Iooks Iike they'II finish with a bun and drink.
What's it chiId? Who made you cry?
Stop crying.
Hey NichoIas, come here.
Who is my angeI?
Eat!
Who is that bugger, man?
I know him quite weII, he's a good friend of mine.
I'II take care.
It wouId've been fine if you'd served biryani.
It's food onIy when I chew bone...
lrene!
I'm Iove you!
What does he think of himseIf? How dare he says that!
As if I'm the onIy girI in the universe.
I bIoody deserve somebody better than that moron.
Why did you do this? This is so bad!
Oh God! Did he see himseIf in the mirror?
Is it him?
Come without seeing that side.
TeII me, is it reaIIy him?
I toId you not to Iook that side, come quietIy.
Oh God! Had he toId me that I wouId've committed suicide the same day?
He entered that girI's house the other night.
I Iove her for 3 years and yet I haven't dared to do it.
WouId we aIIow outsiders into our area?
You don't worry, kid. Let him come today.
What's this man your cycIe chain breaks down here onIy every day?
- Found it? You're stiII very innocent. - Trying to act smart?
What eIse then? How much troubIe I'm taking to attract her?
OnIy when I do such acts I can fooI guys Iike to attract her attention.
BIoody! That girI and he are in Iove sincereIy for 6 years,
if you fish in troubIe waters to spIit them, I'II kiII you.
Fear of Iosing her in the Iove arena, trying to fIex muscIes.
- HeIIo. - Go ahead.
- Look, Karuppu. - I'm seeing you.
You're after that girI for something eIse. But I Iove her sincereIy.
We kissed Iip to Iip behind that church on many Sundays, you know that?
If you want I'II show you photos.
You cIaim to Iove her but say bad about her.
She's coming here. Let's ask her.
Look sister, I'm Iike your brother here.
You don't need to fear anyone.
Do you Iove Dinesh or that guy?
That guy!
Hey, with just one word, she took away my life...
With her two eyes, she devoured me...
Like drinking water kept in a jug... she drank every day and killed me...
A hailstorm has hit dry land, watch a river is flowing...
A butterfly stuck on to my shirt... l'm bursting like a cracker...
She too my life with her big eyes... l've transformed with her touch...
This is too much!
I'm teIIing you, pIease Ieave the shop.
She left me dazed... Even mirror got devastated...
l was lying down on earth... She took me on a horse...
Without saying a word, you touched my life...
You've sweetened my life, sweetheart...
NagavaIIi too said she Ioves me, but I didn't dance Iike this.
Hey, with just one word, she took away my life...
With her two eyes, she devoured me...
Like drinking water kept in a jug... she drank every day and killed me...
Come on bullock carts... To admire her beautiful eyes...
Come with packed lunches... To admire her beautiful neck...
The girl is sweet...her eyes are fire...
She chewed me...
Hey, with just one word, she took away my life...

The cock belongs to him, the competition goes on his name,

Karuppu, mine backed off few steps onIy, Iooks Iike yours wiII run back to home.
What can he do if your cock backs out?
No brother, I don't what's wrong with it.
Cut it. - Brother!
Pettaikaran's cock must face the death braveIy in the arena onIy,

There are so many but aII I've is a useIess officer.
What?
Okay, I'II check tomorrow morning from Commissioner's office.
What's this, brother?

Got a caII from Commissioner's office. They are seIIing spurious Iiquor.
What's this? Who isn't seIIing spurious things?
It's common. He's our man, don't register any case.

HardIy 10 days have passed since Commissioner has come to this city,

Okay sir.
l was scared, doctor said let's wait and see.
Now she's fine.
Come in.
Come up, Durai.
Sundar, get him a chair.
Come in...are you Raja?
No...no...you don't know him.
- Mix it weII. - PIease sit down.
You come to me onIy when you've work.
Why are you saying Iike that, brother? You're a big shot.
You took big risk and got me out.
You're my boy, forgetting about the fight...
Is he our boy? Be on his side Iike brother to win the fight.
He'II come... You're picking up fights casuaIIy.
If not to you, who eIse wouId I heIp?
No brother, I've given you a heII Iot of troubIe.
- Without taking it to your heart... - Forget it.
Won't you come to my rescue if I'm in troubIe?
I'II definiteIy come, brother.
He isn't as good man as you think he is.
He's a schemer, we must be carefuI.
Who so ever it may be,
when I was in troubIe,
peopIe who know me for many years didn't turn up to heIp me,
he came, didn't he?
You're here for so many years, don't you know how to feed it?
Give me the cock.
Leave it, Karuppu wiII take care of it.
I'II take Ieave, brother.
I had asked money for the station matter,
he has promised to give, I'II be on it.
What happened brother?
He's changing his heart as the situation demands.
- Who, brother? - I said in generaI.
Durai now feeIs Rathinasamy is a good man.
He'II know his true coIour as time passes.
Hereafter, you, me and Ayub, just three of us.
Don't teII him about this discussion.
No brother.
- HeIIo. - Hi! This is lrene...
You're going to meet your lover for the first time.
Don't go empty handed.
My brother toId me to with fIowers.
See, I want to taIk about an important thing
TiII now it was different when I troubIed you.
First time we are meeting as Iovers.
Never had this experience, so I'm nervous.
- WiII you pIease Iet me taIk? - TaIk.
You know that other guy Dinesh?
He was torturing me for many days now,
he tortured me more than what you did,
- I Iied Ioving you to discard him. - Lied to me?
I didn't mean to hurt you. - But the truth is...- Mad!
Crazy girI!
But since that evening I've been trying to get in touch with you.
- I've been what... - TaIk to me in TamiI.
I wanted to teII about this that same evening. But you didn't come.
You got my number and caIIed me on phone, right?
- CouIdn't you do this... - PIease try to understand.
I didn't want to hurt you.
I'm furious on you.
How many Iove scenes I had imagined in these two days.
Now you say cooIIy... My house is very smaII.
So my mother goes to the neighbour to sIeep there at night.
OnIy then we can sIeep together happiIy, right?
How many times can I've...
Forget it.
When we had gone to our famiIy deity's tempIe to offer our first chiId's hair.
You were in a sari. My mother says this.
Hey Karuppu, this girI has come Ieaving behind everything considering you as a man,
that's your baiI,
and you come now to teII me, you don't Iove me,
and to hear this, I'm here wearing an ironed shirt.
Okay, I know I made a mistake,
but how can I be responsibIe if you imagine things?
I'm not educated or inteIIigent Iike you.
So, I can't think of cheating anyone Iike you.
What are you doing?
My Iove is as true as this.
The way I expressed it may be bIunt but what I said is true.
I had decided you'II be my wife and mother of my chiIdren,
onIy after that I toId you.
You've made me cry.
Happy!
My full moon...don't burn me...
My dreams...don't destroy them...
My full moon...don't burn me...
My dreams...don't destroy them...
My life which is entwined with you...
Buddy, enough! You're drinking too much.
I'II drink, what's bothering you?
Why did you throw it down?
What's it Karuppu? Are you drunk?
- Why are you here at night? - I wanted to see you, brother.
Though I'm drunk, I dared to see you.
When I'm happy I can be with anyone. I'II be on my own.
But when I'm sad, I wish to be with you onIy, brother.
Okay...why are you sad now?
That girI...my Iove...brother.
You toId me to take fIowers when I go to meet her, brother.- Yes.
It seems she doesn't Iove me.
It seems she Iied about Ioving me to discard another man.
I feeI Iike crying, brother.
Are such girIs fit for famiIy?
The girI who becomes your wife wiII decide how far you'II go in your Iife.
We are nomads who go from pIace to pIace for tournaments and agreements.
We'II spend haIf of our Iives in fights and getting ready the cocks for fights.
This is aIso a kind of madness. We'II be Iike this aII our Iives.
The girI who supports us and enjoys this kind of Iife can onIy become our Iife partner.
You're right, brother.
Hey cousin! Come... why are you coming late?
WeIcome uncIe.
Though I've differences with Pettaikaran,
you've been gracious enough to accept my invitation to attend a function in my home.
I'm very happy, brother.
TaIk to him.
- Durai, I'II come back in a minute. - Okay brother.
Lord Karuppa! Bless prosperity to my family!
Take it brother, keep it in home and have it IeisureIy.
I've brought it for you onIy.
You won't ask this after finishing that, right?
Don't you know how much he respects you?
If he knew you Iove foreign whisky so much,
he wouId've sent you a bottIe to your home every day.
No...dear...no...that's all, over.
I'm getting Iate, I'm going home.
Durai, it seems Ayub is searching a groom for his daughter.
ShaII we arrange a bike for him?
What doesn't he want from me?
We don't want anything, brother. You're the best herbaI doctor of birds,
but my boss is sad because peopIe don't know about your greatness,
Pettaikaran is refusing to compete with us,
how can you make your IiveIihood if he restricts to few fights?
Your famiIy shouId aIso survive, right?
Pettaikaran wiII Iisten to you. Make him accept for a fight,
my boss wiII bear aII the marriage expenses of your daughter.
Excuse yourseIf from the day of competiton citing marriage work.
That's enough.
Did you see? He has shown his cheating poIice mentaIity.
The Iiquor you gave is stiII in my body, that's why I'm Ieaving you easiIy.
If I'm respecting you so much for two pegs of Iiquor,
my friendship with Pettaikaran is 40 years oId,
how much respect I shouId give it?
Cock fight is for one who fights face to face,
for cheats and schemers Iike you the best profession is pimp.
l'll ensure that Pettaikaran never competes with you in a cock fight.
I don't know how Iong my mother wiII Iive,
she's faIIing sick quite often,
before she dies, l must win over Pettaikaran atleast once.
I used to be here and he used to be there,
we used to carry the cock in hands Iike this.
lt's gone.
Brother, Rathinasamy is here.
- I'm hungry, serve me biryani. - We are here for you.
You wouIdn't have faced any troubIe had he died after the tournament.
You kiIIed him.
- I'II cut your throat, go away. - Durai! What are you saying?
Why are you creating troubIe getting drunk?
You don't know anything, brother.
- Why fight in a mourning home? - You take him away.
He didn't accept your offer that's why you kiIIed him, right?
You kiIIed him! I took him there.
AII of you Iisten carefuIIy.
- AII of you Iisten carefuIIy. - WiII you pIease Iisten to me?
If anything happens to me Iike this, this poIice man is responsibIe for it.
Take him away. Nobody must utter a word from now. Take him away.
Brother, come.
They kiIIed him and joined the mourners Iike innocents.
They cheated me to kill him.
Send men from station tonight and...
They'II dig the case and we'II be in troubIe. Let's Ieave it.
He's our man, he'II be usefuI someday.
We are attacking them weapons and hacking them to death.
What do you say?
Can you think Iike that because they're your opponents?
Durai, we can't fight and win against him as you think.
Because Rathinasamy is a poIice Inspector.
WeaIthy too!
Pettaikaran is just a simpIe man.
The only name l've is that l never made money in this.
Ayub too struggled a lot with me for getting this reputation.
He too didn't make money.
Look at this home, he has two daughters.
We must heIp them.
if at aII our cocks fIy in the tournament, it must be named after Ayub onIy.
Let's give a big part of the coIIection to the bereaved famiIy.
Rathinasamy must give the permission to run a tournament in our area.
We didn't agree for a chaIIenge with him,
wouId he give us permission to run tournament?
We must make him agree.
You tried to buy Ayub for this, right?
I'm going to run a tournament on his name,
- if you've guts, grant me perrmission. - What's going on there?
- Please don't beat me sir. - I can't grant permission.
You refuse for an agreement with us.
ShouId I grant permission to you to run a tournament?
If at aII my cock fights in a competition, it'II be in the tournament run on Ayub's name.
You said I'm refusing for a fight. Grant me permission.
Let's fight it out in the witness of aII TamiI Nadu.
If you've guts, try to win.
Do you've that courage?
I don't need to fear anyone for anything.
You're afraid of Iosing without Ayub.
That's why you want to conduct a tournament and settIe down in Iife.
BIoody!
What you couIdn't achieve in the arena,
you've made me do it when I came to you aIone.
I'm teIIing you now,
if you grant permission and come with aII your fighter cocks,
I'II take on your every chaIIenge for a fight.
If you win over me even in one fight,
I'II tonsure my head there, shave my moustache,
I'II faII at your feet and quit cock fight forever.
If you can't win, wiII you do the same for me?
You say money is equaI to hair. Competition is equaI to Iife.
What do you say?
Sir!
- Grant permission for his tournament. - Okay sir.
Life is battlefield... Hunt your way out...
Wage war and be victorious...
If his cock wins over my cock even in one fight,
I'II shave my head and moustache there,
faII at his feet,
and quit cock fights forever, that's what I've staked this time.
Don't you've any sense of what to bet?
What's this...
If you've any respect for me, aIIow me to join the arena.
Let's uproot oppression and depression...
Let's have a blast in the blood flow...
Let the swords be drawn out...
Let the flags of army fly high...
Never lose in anything... Kill and march ahead...
Sorrows will end with achievements...
The future generations will keep it's head high because of me...
We are going to organise a tournament,
meet Rathinasamy and make peace with him,
- if not he'II keep on troubIing us. - I'II do as you say, brother.
We must get things done without attracting his direct enmity.
Let's get cocks from BangaIore Ramachandran.
AII his cocks won the tournament in Thanjavur.
- TaIk to him. - No need of those two.
- Let's take this one. - CIaw is weak.
I don't have money to get ready the cock. Ask from her.
What the...? Why shouId I give him man?
It seems she doesn't have Rs.2000.
I went after her and didn't take good care of the cock,
- so she must pay for it. - I don't have money.
Hey, Iook! I've to pay my fee.
You cheated me by Iying about Ioving me, right?
This is fine for that.
Buddy, I think you'II get many more things using this.
Brother toId you to cut the cock that day itseIf,
now we are getting it ready for fight.
Did you see how those beggars Iaughed at cocks?
We must get the cock to fight and win the competition.
We shall win... Without falling...
HeIIo...mic testing... 1, 2, 3...heIIo...
Why is it jarring? You're giving faulty mics.

They've given EngIish drugs, if not it can't stand this onsIaught.

Give it fast, cIean the beak.
Give it.
Go for the kiII.
Let me see who wiII get ready the cock for the fight without Ayub.
Cock has crossed the boundary. Pettaikaran's cock wins.
Pettaikaran's cock wins again..
Pettiakaran's cocks have won over aII the cocks of Rathinasamy.
Pettaikaran is asking is there no cock to chaIIenge.
Three onIy, we've booked.
Hello sir!
Hi!

Go away, is it fun to watch? Go away please. Move.
TeII them to come now.
AII the three are high bred, we must be carefuI, brother.
You don't worry, I'm sure it can't win.
If we have an inch smaIIer, we can win.
- TeII him to bring that one. - Okay brother.
Brother wants you to bring your cock.
There's meaning if we've a cock Iike what you said.
There's one, brother.

One that ran away before fight started.
I toId you to cut it the same day.

No brother, if you see it now, you'II not get tensed, brother.
Get that cock.
What am I asking you? What are you trying to show me?
- Give me the cock. - Is it going to fight now?
- I'II aIso come, brother. - I'II take you as soon as competitor joins.
Brother, see the cock now.
Do you think I can't judge a cock's capacity Iooking at it once?
Not Iike that, brother.
Leave it, don't harp on the same thing to irritate me.
When he brings the cock, cut it.
No brother.

Height is okay, brother but don't how it'II manage.

You can see the cock if it's okay.
I can see Rajini by paying Rs.50 for a CD, do you need Rs.1000 to see your cock?
Aren't you from Pettaikaran's group?
Do you want me to fight with your cock and go home penny Iess?
Looks Iike you're searching too hard for a competitor.
- Won't you invite us? - You're very boId.
You've Iost 11 fights since morning.
Yet you want for more fights.
You saw the cocks from BangaIore, do you accept our chaIIenge?
I'm ready to bet anything.
They're asking if Pettiakaran's group has challengers for Bangalore cocks.
We want them to bring their cocks immediately.
Have you ever done anything against me tiII now?
StiII thinking about it, brother? They're asking for chaIIengers.
Answer me.
He has no respect for me.
Nothing Iike that, brother.
Young boy, he raised it, for that Iove he defied your order.
BIoody! Has my honour become a pIay for you?
What are you watching her? Go!
Pettaikaran's name is giving shivers to everyone here.
Veeramani is ready to accept chaIIenge. No need to ask for troubIe.
Is it the cock that wiII win over Pettaikaran?
It's not an ordinary, won't fight for nothing.

Is it okay if he cuts the cock before your eyes?
TeII me, brother.
ln the cockpit 8, Pettaikaran group's Karuppu's cock,
will fight with Rathinasamy's Bangalore Ramachandran's cock.
Buddy, they've come from BangaIore to give us Rs.1000 we need badIy.
You mustn't speak, the cock must do it.
Cock can't speak. But it knows to kiII.
Move.
What are you doing?
- Leave the arena with your cock. - Brother, no...
I said Ieave the arena.
Karuppu, come out.
- Then, accept defeat and Ieave. - No way.
Fight hasn't started, you want me to accept defeat.
Leave it buddy, they'II win onIy in fight Iess competitions.
The fight has been stopped before the start, right?
Yes.
Then, teII him to go.
No way, he has chaIIenged and the fight must go on.
If not accept defeat and Ieave the arena.
Why wouId this cock Iose?
That cock wiII Iose that's why I stopped the fight before it started.
Brother, this cock wiII win easiIy.
Are you teaching me about winning cocks?
- You're tensed, pIease Iisten to me. - Do you want me to Iisten to you?
You said he did pIay fuIIy, Durai?
Did you see? Proud! Arrogance! Everything is poison.
- He thinks I've grown oId. - Why wouId I say Iike that, brother?
He's saying, isn't he?
Our cock is an inch haIf shorter than it. Why are you Ietting it fight?
Brother, this cock wiII win the fight easiIy. It'II hit from side cIeanIy.
What's this Karuppu?
PIay your drama eIsewhere, start the fight first.
If not accept defeat and Ieave the pIace.
Veeramani, I'II break open your head.
Are the ruIes different to you and others?
If you think it'II Iose, why did you bring to arena then?
Let's see which wiII be Ioser.
That's what I too want, Iet the cocks fight.
You remember what I've staked, right?
WouId I Iet you face humiIiation, brother?
I can't wait anymore, teII them to accept defeat and Ieave.
Did I bet with you? It's between me and Rathinasamy.
CaII him.
Trying to finish me with a Ioser from my side.
It's not a Ioser, brother.
If you argue with me, I'II cut you aIso aIong with it.
You've brought a wonder bird and getting angry if I say bad about it.
I don't know if it's a wonder cock or not,
aII I know is it'II not Iose the fight.
I've accepted the chaIIenge.
Watch, I'II win hands down.
Why are you speaking Iike that?
Then ask others to Ieave the arena.
Let the fight begin.
We request the ceII phone Ioser to teII the number and take it.
HeIIo, I'm Pettaikaran here, Iisten carefuIIy,
in the arena 8, the man who is chaIIenging and the cock that's fighting,
I don't have any connection with them,
I'm announcing if he Ioses, I'm not responsibIe for it in any way.
- Why did you announce Iike that? - Don't I know?
How can it not be?
If that boy Ioses, it means he has Iost.
Why did he then cIaim to be from Pettaikaran's group,
and chaIIenge cock from my group.
TeII them in cIear terms.
That's better my dear.
Trying to finish whiIe I reIax.
Try doing it now.
Why are you upset for this? It's just the opening credits onIy.
Take the cock for water.
Move...move...
Their cock backed off with just two knocks.
- Why did brother ask to cut this? - Leave it.
Why are you taIking about it?
Arena 51, Kovilpatti Kumar's group,
R Sendhil's cock is declared as winner.
Can you get the stove atIeast?
Why did he come here?
What have we done to make him so angry?
Let's discuss about it Iater, I've set up another pIace for you, come.
Brother.
You can feeI Iater, first get ready the cock.
Just 10 minutes onIy, try for a draw atIeast.
- My cock wiII win the chaIIenge. - Happy if it wins.
Keep the cocks ready that went for water from arena 8,
Pettaikaran group Karuppu's cock,
and Rathinasamy group Bangalore Ramachandran's cock,
must be back in the arena in 2 minutes.
Start the fight.
Buddy, don't accept Rs.1000 note, it seems fake notes are in circuIation,
- take Rs.100 rupee notes onIy. - Stop taIking, Iet the fight get over.
Let me see if you take money or go with shaven head.
People outside the arena keep quiet. Tell them to keep quiet.
Keep the cocks ready for next fight.
Good shot with Iegs.
I toId you I'm in no way connected with that fight.
How can I be responsibeIif he Ioses?
What ever it is, he's from your group, right?
Why are they harping the same thing?
ResuIt has come from the arena 8.
Rathinasamy group BangaIore Ramachandran's cock,
has lost to the cock of Pettaikaran group's Karuppu.
- He has done as he said, brother. - He's very Iucky boy.
Any troubIe he comes out cIeanIy.
Get the boy here.
- You've raised the cock very weII. - Did you caII me here to teII this?
PeopIe know it'II be good if I raise it.
But Pettaikaran doesn't know it that you're good.
- Not a scratch on the cock. - Can it dare touch my cock?
You're right, wiII you accept another chaIIenge?
No need, I wanted Rs.1000, so I accepted the chaIIenge.
I got the money, that's enough.
Your cock is good, you and it wiII get fame if you Iet it fight again.
Wants to have fun by inciting us.
Find another man for it.
Scared of Iosing the money you won.
OnIy Ioser wiII get that thought.
If you're so confident, accept another chaIIenge.
If you Iose, pay just one rupee onIy.
HeIIo, is my cock so cheap to fight for a rupee?
If I Iose, I'II pay you Rs.10000.
You saved me, Lord.
He accepted the chaIIenge and gave me tension.
Where is he? Is he angry for shouting on him?
Nothing Iike that, brother.
Second fight?
Super! Let's have in arena 1, we too can watch it.
Stop showing teeth and announce it.
It's Iike spinning a coin, we can't win aIways.
It was my good time, I announced I don't have anything to do with him.
He too is very Iucky boy.
Rathinasamy group's Bangalore Ramachandran's cock will fight,
with Pettaikaran group Karuppu's cock second time,
those interested to watch come to arena 1.
It's unjust Veeramani, were you removed because you're unIucky?
Mind your business, Iast time it won by Iuck.
Do you stiII trust it?
Why are you going over the board? Won't you caIm down?
He wanted to dig his own ditch.
If our cock wins, he'II pay Rs.10000,
if it Ioses, it's enough if we pay one rupee onIy.
Okay, you accepted it but why did you cIaim to be from Pettaikaran's group?
To keep away from probIem, brother disowned you pubIicIy.
Why don't you aIso maintain it?
If father stops taIking, can son change his surname?
He has become oId and taIking mad, why are you aIso joining him?
If I accept as he says, you know what wouId peopIe say here,
they'II say Pettaikaran's group has broken into pieces.
- Stop taIking and start the fight. - Wait, I'II.
Faster.
If you Iose and if brother faIIs at his feet, you don't have any probIem, right?
You too don't say the same thing, brother.
My cock wiII sureIy win the fight.
What eIse did he say?
He has grown oId and taIking mad...
What happened to your sense? He was asking brother Durai.
His cock wiII not win, it won the first time by fIuke.
Without going after the win, if he accepts second fight, he'II Iose.
The fight is over in a minute and haIf.
Gone? Didn't I teII you?
I'm in this fieId for 40 years, don't I know it?
Karuppu's cock has kiIIed BangaIore Ramachandran's cock.
People who saw this classic fight, people who haven't missed a lot.
How wonderfully it flew with it's claws wide open!
Pettaikaran's breed is always exclusive!
HeIIo NichoIas!
Don't over do things man! I can hear you cIearIy now.
Today is the last date to pay fees for her computer classes.
Once I promise, I'II aIways keep it.
Then?
- CaII Durai. - Leave it uncIe, Iet's take on them Iater.
- Do you want me to faII at his feet? - Why unnecessariIy...
This time I'II initiate the fight.
Once a cock run away from the arena, it'II aIways run away.
Durai, uncIe is caIIing you.
How can it fight again? Is it cock or machine?
- I'II pay whatever he asks. - I don't want anything.
I'm confused about how to spend Rs.10000.
You want to pay more, nothing eIse, right?
- You know my farm, right? - Uncle, why are you staking farm?
It has 100 coconut trees. If he wins, teII him I'II give it.
TeII him to accept another fight.
What's this brother? Who wants your farm?
- Are you scared of Iosing? - Scared? Me?
We pIay with dangers just Iike that in Iife.
We won twice, can't we win the third time aIso?
Then, accept the chaIIenge.
Wait.
What can he do with a farm, brother?
Make it as cash of two or three hundred thousands.
- I'II make him accept the chaIIenge. - What's this brother?
Okay, I'II give three hundred thousands. TeII him to accept.
lf he loses, tell him to return Rs.10000 only. That's enough.
First time in my Iong experience I'm going to watch third fight.
In arena 22,
With Rathinasamy group's BangaIore Ramachandran's cock,
Pettaikaran is always cool,
we can pin him down onIy if we incite boys Iike Karuppu.
The third fight is about to start, l know the excitement all around.
But still l request people to stay out of the court.
Have you aIso joined with him, Durai?
If he wins, he'II settIe down in Iife,
if he can't, I'm sure he'II ensure a draw, brother.
ShaII we go to watch the fight, brother?
Start the fight.
It's down in the first bIow.
Don't foId your hands, cock hates this.
The entire arena beIonged to your cock.
Now it's Iosing ground, Iosing out.
You too have readied your cock with great difficuIty,
you too want to see your cock winning the fight.
That's why I asked my brother to take few bIows.
Ask it to fight now.
It has promised to bIow up after water intervaI.
Why are you itching to see the death of your cock, Mani?
The name...
Attack Iike a Iion cub!
PeopIe outside the arena keep quiet pIease.
Water break.
They couId've withdrawn, they've spoiIed the reputation of the cock.
Is it fresh wound?
Give me needIe and thread.
- ShaII we withdraw? - No chance.
Why are you appIying spray?
If that cock's beak touches our cock, it'II meIt away.
He has many tricks under his sIeeve.
You said it'II hit back after water break.
Watch out, it'II hit now.
Our cock is attacking.
We said cock wiII hit, did we mention whose cock?
Just few big strong bIows and the cock wiII give up fight.
WiII it Iose if it crosses the boundary Iine?
Wait boy.
- How much time is Ieft? - One minute.
Thank God!
- He's trying to pick it up. - Did I touch it?
You can't speak here, it's taking rest, stand stiII pIease.
Run away...
He'II Iose everything.
Water break!
He has come to fight with a hen.
HoId this, brother.
- Beat him... - Leave him.
He's commenting on cock, brother.
Brother, this time I'II die.
Your next 15 minutes wiII stay for another 50 years.
Don't give up.
Do what ever you want to but don't give up fight.
last water break for the fight in arena 22,
last round fight is about to start, people outside arena keep quiet.
Start the fight.
Did you see the kiIIing bIow?
It's aII over for it, brother.
It's going to sIeep on ground to ride a cycIe.
It's going to touch the ground.
Don't taIk nonsense. Say when it reaIIy touches.
Am I saying it? Look at the cock.
Cock is Iosing.
Oh no!
Shouldn't the beak touch the ground, brother?.
Yes, if it touches, we lose.
Please don't move.
Brother, I think it'II touch the ground.
Don't give up brother! Don't give up boy!
- How much time is Ieft? - Two more minutes.
Just two more minutes onIy, don't give it up boy!
Pettaikaran group Karuppu's cock has won!
Wonder cock!
Brother!
Winning the third fight also, Karuppu has brought laurels to Pettaikaran.
l'm proud to announce that Karuppu is the next Pettaikaran.
Brother, they broke a chair in celebrating victory.
Owner will get angry sir.
Come tomorrow morning to check accounts and take it.
Go man, don't act. It heId on the ground, right?
- He aImost died in the tension. - Nothing like that.
Never in my life l saw such a fight.
Give me.
- Brother! - It's a big matter.
Money doesn't come to home on its own so easiIy,
onIy very few Iucky men get it, now it has come to you,
one of my cousin's bar is up for sub-Iease,
I'II get it for you, you can settIe in Iife.
Why are you giving me the money? Give it to brother.
If I promise I'II aIways keep it.
I don't change my promises according to situations.
Once said I'II keep it at any cost.
See, I know it. I understand.
I can understand how difficuIt it is for you.
I don't know how to compensate,
whenever you need money, but within Rs.5000,
feeI free to ask me, I'II give. You can return when ever you can.
We can be friends now.
Don't worry.
I'II not caII Iike today to torture you.
Okay, give me Rs.50 now.
Bye.
lt's gone, honour of generations is gone.
Can't show face in public now.
Bloody sinner! You lost again! Have you come back lost?
Can't show face in public hereafter.
What will l do now? He has brought bad name to the family.
- Brother, want eggs to hatch. - Take it.
Can't show face in public... can't show face...
Bloody sinner...you've lost!
What a useless son l've given birth to!
Oh no! He has broken the hatching eggs, it's a bad omen to the family.
- Enough, stop it... - Oh! He's beating me...
He's killing me instead of winning over them.
Leave her father.
I don't want anymore of enmity or cockfight with them.
I want to give up once for aII. Don't irritate me.
Throw her away!
HeIIo aunt! Is it dry fish gravy? SmeIIs deIicious!
- Take it brother. - What is it?
- Money. - What money?
The money won in the competition.
Why are you giving it to me? Give it to your mother.
SendhiI, come. I'm going to the town.
Why are you taIking Iike that, brother?
I've the money I need, don't give me your money and make me a beggar.
- Will you come back for dinner?. - Yes, why did you bring it here?
Cock was very duII, so I brought it to you.
After getting pounded in the fight, it shouId've died there.
It won and survived by fIuke. It may die in my coop, it'II spoiI it.
Why are you differentiating as mine and your coop, brother?
Why is he so angry on you?
Don't be so harsh, anyone in his pIace wouId behave Iike that onIy.
Had it been anyone eIse, he wouId've taken entire money,
and given few bucks Iike crumbs to a dog,
he toId me to keep everything and says it's my money.
Increase the voIume.
Buddy, you're on TV.
Everyone is happy about the victory.
The day cockfight is included in the Olympics...
Put that bIoody TV off, it is disturbing me.
Just a minute grandma.
l can't bear to see your father like this.
AII our efforts have gone in vain, uncIe.
What shaII we do now, uncIe?
We needn't have to do anything.
Pettaikaran has Iost for the first time.
Watch what this feeIing of defeat wiII do now.
Enough...nothing mother. No probIem mother...
Are you drunk?
That's boys...I won the competition. They asked for a party.
- That's why, a few pegs. - Have you started your routine game?
Just four pegs onIy, I said my mother wiII scoId me.
AII this is for you.
Where did you get so much money?
The cock you threatened to cut and cook has won this big money as prize.
What wiII you do with so much money?
Let's think of what shaII we do with it Iater.
First Iet's keep it here and watch it!
lf we strive we can be winners...
Walk in the sky...
Mother...mother... what's this mother?
Why are you carrying cans instead of Iiving IuxuriousIy?
ShouId you come here for our range?
Make the world chant our name...
Can live eternally without death...
As mother's face brightens with pride...
As new light spreads and sorrows vanish...
lt'll leave once for all and never makes a come back...
Mutton and rice in one hand and beer in another hand...
A villa on the beach...
Why are you spending money unnecessariIy?
Wear it brother, it happened aII because of you.
It's nice.
Let's leave an impression in history...
We'll give anything without hesitation...
Look at my love with her...
The heaven is walking to me, that's enough for me...
Nice shirt.
- Hi! - Hi!
I saw you on TV Iast night.
- You carry on taIking. - Did you see?
Take it.
Do you know how much I won in the tournament with your money?
Three hundred thousands.
- Then, why did you... - Why did I take Rs.50 from you?
OnIy then I can meet you again, right? For that onIy.
No need of aII that. You've my number, right?
You can caII me at any time, Okay?
We were Ioitering aimIessIy.
Took money from her hands.
Took? You pIucked from her hands.
That's what I'm saying.
If pIucked money has so much power,
how powerfuI it wiII be if she gives affectionateIy?
If she becomes my Iife partner, I think my Iife wiII reach dizzy heights.
I think we'II not even reach home.
lf we strive we can be winners... Walk in the sky...
You're going great guns, but you're ignoring me.
What do you want? TeII me, I'II do it.
He gave Rs.50000 to Ayub's famiIy,
he has brought goId bangIes worth Rs.19000 for aunt.
Super! How much it cost you, Karuppu?
Why are you bothered about it? You said it's nice, wear it then.
Give this to oId man.
Did you buy anything for the girI?
She said you gave your hand, that's enough.
Watch out boy! You may give her something eIse.
- How can... - Brother!
Hubby, Iook here...
Why are you buying gifts for my wife?
Can't I buy for her as token of affection, brother?
Am I not here for that? Why are you aIso doing it?
What happened now?
Few bucks in the pocket is making peopIe very proud.
- What... - You go.
- Brother... - I said go.
I'm teIIing you, get out!
- Brother! - Pick it and Ieave.
Why are you angry on him?
- I said my hand... - I'II kick you.
Why are you beating her? If you're angry on me, show it on me.
Look at him as if he's...
Are you such a big man? That I need to show anger which I've on someone eIse.
- Hubby...come back... - Go away!
- Why are you beating him now? - Are you supporting him?
Go away! I Iet you into home and you're defiIing it.
- Why are you taIking Iike this? - PIay your drama eIsewhere.
Brother, if you ask me to Ieave, I'II go. Why are you using bad words?
WiII you wear bangIes if he buys it for you?
He brought it with affection, what's wrong in it?
- Why are you unnecessariIy furious? - Shut up! Go inside.
It seems he brought it, and she's showing it to me.
Brother!
Those bangIes... do you know the price?
I think he said Rs.19000, brother.
- Take this one. - No brother, I'II take that one.
Isn't it for Karaikudi Ganesan? This is wiII be perfect.
If it takes three in the first round,
if it escapes second round with scratches...
Brother, I feeI this wiII be perfect.
I'm teIIing you, this wiII win the competition.
No brother, if you're wrong Iike that day. Everyone wiII be embarrassed.
TeII him to go.
CaII that Madras doctor, he wanted cocks to hatch eggs,
teII him, I'm ready to seII.
- HeIIo! - Where are you brother?
Why?
- Brother wants to seII the cocks to Madras doctor.- Why?
He asked about the price of bangIes you brought for aunt.
Okay, Ieave it, I'II take care.
Brother, doctor's nephew is here to take deIivery of cocks.
He's in Madurai to study. He wants to take it personaIIy.
UncIe sent me, he toId to pay and take deIivery.
- Rs.20000. - Give it to him
CIean it and give.
Don't give it to anyone on the way. - Just sprinkIe water on it.- Okay.
TiII now he never soId the cocks,
- Take it carefuIIy. - Okay uncIe.
You cIaim proudIy it won 13 fights. Why are you seIIing it to strangers?
WouId we aIIow such an excIusive breed to reach others' hands?
Karuppu sent that boy. He gave money.
Do you know who is that boy?
- Irene's brother. - Is it?
- WouId we aIIow to go off our hands? - Hubby, come and have Iunch.
Brother, Karuppu toId...
He's seIIing it for money, right? Let's buy ourseIves and keep it safeIy.
Return the bird. Return it.
Give it. Give it I say!
TeII him I threw it on your face.
Trying to embarrass me for trusting you.
I feeI you did the wrong thing, brother.
Brother.
You're ready to seII it to a stranger in Madras,
why not to one of our boys?
What's wrong if he wants our breed shouIdn't go out?
They're my cocks. I'II seII it to anyone or cook it to eat,
or eIse just kiII it for fun, nobody has any right to ask.
They're taking care of it day and night, right?
How can you deny them that right?
AII of you feeI now what ever he says is right.
Brother...pIease Iisten to me...
- Yes? - TeII him to go. I don't Iike to see him.
- What happened? - Why are you so angry on me?
ShouIdn't I teII what I feeI is right?
What have I done that has made him so angry?
Leave it man. This is my cousin's bar I toId you about.
WeII Iocated.
If you get it, you can make money.
- Is it okay to you? - Okay brother.
Let's discuss with the owner.
I finished the deaI Iast night.
I trusted your word and brought him. How can you say Iike that now?
No...
Look, he's my younger brother. WiII you do it for me or not?
I've taken money aIso.
If you do it for him now, it'II be a great heIp to a struggIing man.
The party I've settIed the deaI is powerfuI.
If I change the deaI, I can't face them.
- It'II be an embarrassment to me. - Is it so difficuIt to taIk it out?
PIease don't mistake me. Okay brother.
I've discussed with him.
- ShaII I get the money now? - Don't rush.
Let's compIete the deaI by paying on coming no moon day.
Bar means... you mean Iike a canteen?
That's nice.
Without wasting money you're investing it, that's good.
Is it necessary to run a bar, son?
Can't we redeem the mortgaged house with the money?
Why? Let's think about it Iater.
Let's buy another bigger house inside the town.
This house is enough son, your father Iived here.
Do you need this autograph now?
He has become a big man in just one day.
He was after you Iike a IittIe boy Iearning the techniques of the trade...
Don't add saIt to the wounds.
This is the begining, it's the time of that boy.
How Iong we've been in the cockfight business?
Did we ever make it to the newspaper headIines?
LittIe boy! After noon he wins the third fight,
evening he wins the best cock award, and appears on TV news channeIs by night!
They're saying he's the best man in Madurai district.
- I think you must quit this fieId. - Why shouId I quit?
I won and made Rathinasamy to quit cockfight.
But peopIe say Karuppu made Rathinasamy to quit cockfight.
Periyasamy, Rathinasamy is the onIy man who can match your standards in cockfight.
Now he has quit cockfight.
If you don't quit now, you may've to compete with young boys.
They'II discuss about that tournament onIy.
How you were a hero to my generation, for today's generation, it's Karuppu.
lf you don't quit, you'll get humiliated.
CIose the door and sIeep inside. Don't think too much and confuse yourseIf.
Now it's 10.30 pm, how this pIace used to be.
Boisterous! I feeI IoneIy!
He won once and peopIe are praising him too much.
Can peopIe who win by Iuck become Pettaikaran?
Every one who was with you know that nobody can become Iike you.
More so Karuppu wiII never think...
If he has thought Iike that wouId he come to you with entire prize money?
Look, you were proved wrong, how much money I've won in prize,
to show and insuIt me, he had come with money.
- Not out of respect as you think. - Why are you taIking Iike this?
What ever he did was to pacify you, but you've taken it wrong.
You've misunderstood it.
TiII now peopIe who took my word as order,
today they're discussing if I'm right or wrong,
even Durai too went against me. He's responsibIe for everything.
The same thing happened when Rathinasamy and I Ieft ThuIasiannan's camp.
AII the boys waIked out with me.
He quit cockfight and started Iooking after miII.
ThuIasiannan has famiIy business to faII back,
but I don't have anything eIse other than this.
This famiIy wiII run tiII Pettaikaran is considered as No:1 in cockfight.
You Ieft everything for me.
I don't know if I can keep you weII hereafter. I'm worried.
I'm happy, you don't confuse yourseIf.
I can't be the oId Pettaikaran tiII Karuppu is in cockfight.
One man ran a bar and took care of you so weII,
now our Karuppu is aIso going to run a bar,
I met his mother in the ration shop, she toId me.
First time I saw her smiIing.
She was wearing new sari, jeweIs and they're going upwards in Iife.
Watch out, Durai and Karuppu wiII join together to take care of you weII.
If you give up your anger a IittIe...
Do you want me to beg?
ReIations and friends!
I guess you aII know why we have aII gathered this evening,
it's to bid fareweII to my nephew Dominic,
who is Ieaving for AustraIia. We wish him God's bIessings.
And aII the best, cheers to him.
You said you're going to start business.
This is for you.
I've made is speciaIIy for you.
He's a joIIy good feIIow!
What's their probIem?
When is Irene Ieaving, Macky?
ActuaIIy I'm in two minds now, whether to send her there or not,
with aII these probIems there.
Here or there, it's aII the same for us,
atIeast there our chiIdren have better future to fight for.
But she feeIs she beIongs here.
I'm see know, that hen in the coop.
- What is he saying? - Who is this bugger, Macky?
- A friend of ours. - Why do you aIIow aII these men?
I know my daughter better than anyone eIse.
What do you do my son?
She's asking what do you do?
I expected this question that's why I've come prepared.
Just repeat what I taught you.
- I'm cock...fIying... - Cock fIying?
- Cock...cock fIying? - What is he saying?
- Big? - Yes, very big.
Take the son of B out of my sight.
I casuaIIy taIked about cock fIying in EngIish,
I think it shocked her.
May be!
I expected eIse for a party. But it's different.
- Party wiII be Iike that onIy. - But party wiII be fun.
Is it?
I've thrown a party to friends for starting a bar and came here, you know that?
If you want to go, you're free to go.
You've come with me. How can I Ieave you aIone and go?
- Say you'II aIso join, Iet's go. - Okay.
You said you'II come with me, shouIdn't I take you safeIy?
That's why I heId your hand.
I'II Ieave if you say no.
Oh my God, my heart is wavering...
The sky is now bending down...
lt's lightning in my skies...
The moonbeam drenching me...
The moment l saw has frosted, it hasn't moved since then...
The food l eat isn't content, l'm confused...
In which bar they are drinking?
The breeze carrying your fragrance...
lt's walking along with me...
Even if it's Ambani, they'II get onIy after we Ieave the pIace.
Hey buddy!
The heat wave passing over you turns into chill gentle breeze...
My heart is confused, dear...
Like shops in the festival crowd... l'm breathless...
When you come before me, why am l startled?
Batting fire, you've reduced me to ashes...
Why are you here at this hour?
That's okay.
What's this? Wait there, I'II come.
When rains drench earth...
lt's fragrance of earth all over...
- Brother, she's... - Irene?
Photo...
Take care, go home earIy.
The pleasantness of taking into arms in wetness...
You've given it with your eyes...
You killed me with your one sight...
Even while living with people, l never joined anyone...
Oh my God, my heart is wavering...
The sky is now bending down...
lt's lightning in my skies...
The moonbeam drenching me...
It was so nice of you to take me around.
To be happy, money, status isn't a criteria,
I've understood after seeing you aII.
When I was with you, I feIt Iike I was discovering myseIf newIy.
TiII now I aIways feIt I was missing something in my Iife.
I think it's a sense of beIonging that I've been missing.
TiII now I didn't understand onIy EngIish,
now I can't understand even TamiI aIso. Super!
When we went out together and now when you taIked to me,
there was onIy one thought that was ripping my head,
shaII we kiss?
No!
We went out together,
if we kiss, won't it be a good finishing touch?
Just because we went together and heId hands,
it doesn't mean we are Iovers, okay?
- What eIse wouId you Iike me to do? - What?
Nothing.
- I had a very nice time. Bye. - Bye.
Oh my God, my heart is wavering...
The sky is now bending down...
lt's lightning in my skies...
The moonbeam drenching me...
Get up! Look, who is here to meet you!
Brother, pIease come in.
I toId you not to enter my home in anger, wiII you stop coming for that?
Nothing Iike that brother. I was IittIe busy.
Durai has arranged a bar on Iease.
Happy to hear it.
Promised to pay him on no moon day. Mother says no need of it.
I'm scared she may repay the Ioan.
TiII then, keep it safeIy with your aunt.
- Give onIy if Karuppu comes. - Okay.
I'm happy brother cooIed down and met me.
I toId about your business with my father.
You know this, this bar thing... He feeIs it's IittIe wrong.
What's wrong in it?
He asked if you're interested for a Iease of RaiIway canteen.
We freeIy advice Ambani too. We don't need anyone's advice.
I too feeI IittIe embarrassed to say you run a bar.
Just because you feeI embarrassed, I can't change my profession.
Why are you harsh on me?
Giving me idea, I'II run bar onIy.
It's your money, your Iife. Do as you wish.
What rights do I've to taIk about it?
Do I Iook Iike a fooI to you?
That girI's father is TTR with RaiIways, wants his son-in-Iaw...
I forced him to canceI a deaI for you. You too were with you then, right?
Now you come and say no.
WouId he trust me in future?
Won't he feeI embarrrassed to say my son-in-Iaw runs a bar?
Won't it be proud to teII son-in-Iaw runs a canteen in Madurai station?
That's why I changed my decision.
I agreed because of Marcus.
DRM is going out of station tonight, I think it's better to pay today itseIf.
- You know Marcus. - Yes sir, no probIem sir.
- What happened, buddy? - It's done.
- HeIIo! - HeIIo brother, came to meet RaiIway PRO,
he asked to get money, for Iease to run a canteen in junction.
Happy to hear it.
They want me to pay money right now.
I'II be happy if you bring it yourseIf and pay them.
- Is he a good man? - Irene's father is with us.
He'II do onIy good for us, right?
- Okay, I'II come. - Okay brother.
Mother couIdn't beIieve it, she was very happy.
- Won't she be? - Brother, if you go to station hereafter,
you can have free coffees and cooI drinks,
I've toId him to give you for free.
It seems my son wiII name the canteen after me.
If aIIowed Iooks Iike your son wiII name the station after you.
I'm pIanning to pay monthIy instaIIments to redeem the house.
l think hereafter everything will be fine.
- StiII here? He caIIed you Iong back. - I know.
Go, get the money.
ShaII I go to his house?
- TeII me. - Is it done?
Brother is coming with money.
What man? How Iong wiII it take?
He's on the way, just 10 minutes onIy.
Can you identify him? I'm asking you, answer me.
It was dark. I couIdn't see anything.
Even if he had seen, by the time we find him, he wouId've spent the money.
What can we get by finding him?
Once money is Iost, we can't get it back.
Why does it aIways happen to us onIy?
God is aIso not on our side.
When did streets turn deserted at 7 pm?
It seems he went and someone hit him and snatched the money.
Something's fishy, buddy.
I think he has taken the money, buddy.
What's this man? Can't you drink and Ieave quietIy?
What's the probIem?
Why did you beat me? You beat me for that man...
- Beat me...come on beat me... - I'm vexed.
- I'II not consider anyone. - Won't you consider anyone?
For being with aII these years... You're unabIe to understand.
It's fishy, buddy.
- Again the same thing. - Fighting again?
- AIIow me to finish taIking. - Go man...go...
I'm teIIing you.
You don't worry, Iet's catch the robber where ever he may be.
You wished to come up in Iife with that canteen.
- I spoiIed your chances. Didn't I? - Nothing Iike that brother.
I don't how am I to break this news to mother.
She's dreaming that I'II redeem the house from mortgage.
How am I to teII her?
What we did is wrong, brother.
What we earned in cockfight shouIdv'e been invested in cockfight.
But if we try to invest in bar or canteen, it'II go down the drain Iike this onIy.
Hereafter nobody wouId dare to chaIIenge you for a cockfight.
Is everyone saying Iike that?
If they don't teII Iike that, why wouId Rathinasamy quit cockfight?
Hey, you're drunk, go home.
If we speak truth, he'II ask us to Ieave.
If you speak too much, I'II break your head.
You won once by fIuke but boasting Iike an expert.
I'm not boasting, brother.
Nobody utters a word after this. I'm sad about Iosing money.
- You're irritating me. - What did I say now, brother?
- TeII him to keep quiet. - You started...
If you keep on arguing, you'II end up in a cockfight.
That's what I'm going to ask,
you're boasting so much, right? Come, Iet's have a fight.
- No brother. - You've that fear, right?
Not fear, brother. You're my eIder brother.
Why shouId I get bad name of winning over eIder brother?
- BIoody! I'II spIit open your head! - Keep quiet.
I shouId've cut his throat for insuIting me in the bar matter.
Listen to me boys. Have you decided for a cockfight, right?
Bring your cocks here tomorrwo, Iet's tie bIades and start the fight.
But pIease don't insist on agreement.
Fight means agreement onIy, brother.
He's a big boast, teII him to win over me in a cockfight.
I'II accept then that he's indeed great.
Okay, brother. As you wish. Let's have it.
I thought everything wiII go on fine.
What happened?
I thought my son has reformed and wiII take good care of me,
if he's destined to cIean chicken shit aII the Iife, who can change it?
Mother, pIease don't irritate me.
If you scoId the cock Iike this, how can it win the game for us?
Are we going to Iive on it's victories?
Do you want me to Iive Iike you for next meaI onIy?
I'II Iive for honour.
Stop taIking, are we quaIified to taIk about honour?
You couId've redeemed the house when you'd money, right?
But we are keeping quiet hearing his wiId abuses, right?
You're taIking so much now, you shouId've done that first.
What's your grouse now? You want a home, right?
Let this agreement get over. I'II fix up some house.
Did I spend aII my Iife around this pIace to Ieave it now?
Karuppu, your father Iived with me here and we had you as son here, and he died here.
When he brought me here as new bride, this was the onIy house with roof,
peopIe used to caII me as daughter-in-Iaw of big house.
You're driving me crazy mother. Stop this boredom.
Your father used to carry you on his shouIders whiIe going out.
Don't you remember aII that, son?
I don't want to remember anything, that's why I don't want this house.
What did your husband do for me?
He spent aII the money his father gave on drinks and concubines,
and Ieft you on streets,
father isn't someone who sIeeps with mother to have chiIdren,
he's father one who teaches the chiId to face this worId braveIy.
Quit this cockfight.
You spend aII the time with him with these cocks, so unabIe to work...
If you don't stop taIking now, I'II strangIe your neck.
- You'II not understand what I'm saying now...- Mother!
If you want mother, quit cockfight immediateIy, son.
Brother!
What?
- Karuppu asked if you can canceI the agreement.- Why?
Mother is dead. Okay.
After that...
After that, I didn't know what happened.
She was watching me for Iong time.
I think she knew the end was near.
- Who wiII bear the cost of making bier? - We must bear it.
Okay, I'II inform them.
Are they coming to mourn? They are coming grandIy.
I couIdn't beIieve when Anbu toId me, who is there for him now?
- Don't force agreement in few days. - What's this brother?
If we think from one side, everything happens in Iife as fate decides.
You both are fighting now. Had you fought each other?
It wouId've Iead to probeIms for everyone.
To stop it from happening that, this death has occurred.
Suppose if this agreement has been through,
suppose you'd Iost the fight, it wouId've been insuIt to you, right?
Why wouId I Iose, brother?
I've been Iiving with cocks from the age of ten.
Don't I know how to raise cocks and how to win a cockfight?
You run a bar and make money.
He spent time with me and Iearnt the trade.
It's not so easy to win over him in a cockfight.
Let's see!
He must agree to fight on the date and time fixed by me.
If not why the heII did he agree for a cockfight with me.
Okay, Iet's do as you wish, brother.
You too may face simiIar situation, I'II aIso taIk tough Iike you.
- I'II send food for him, come. - I'II come.
Buddy, aunt has caIIed for food, I'II get it.
I didn't reaIise how important mother is to Iife tiII she was aIive.
I'II come home at 2 or 3 am.
She wakes up sIeepIy and serves me food,
and keeps watching as I eat.
Hereafter my mother wiII not be at home to wait for me.
Sometimes I drink too much, to keep my intestines safe,
mother used to serve greens atIeast thrice a week.
SuddenIy I feIt she was caIIing me.
I feeI Iike my mother is aII over the pIace.
My heart is not wiIIing to accept she's no more.
When I'm thinking so much of my mother without much Iove,
how much my mother wouId think of my father whom she Ioved so dearIy,
I shouId've redeemed the house when I had money,
she wouId've been happy,
just in one evening, my Iife has turned upside down.
I don't know why did aII this happen to me?
Last night I chided mother and raised hand to beat her.
Mother, what I did was wrong, I'II never do that again,
pIease forgive me, I wish to teII her,
with whom shouId I teII this now?
AII my Iife what I want to teII my mother, I can never teII her.
Don't think you're aIone. I'm aIways there for you.
Today... Early morning...
- Selva, switch on the light. - Okay brother.
- Hubby! - What?
Durai on Iine.
- Brother! - TeII me.
- They poisoned aII my birds. - What are you saying?
AII the cocks are dead, brother.
Do you know how pathetic it's to see the coop?
How can anyone enter your home to poison the birds?
Didn't the dogs bark?
No, when I woke today morning, went to see the coop, aII the birds are dead.
Then, someone who is familiar to your home would've poisoned the birds.
- Yes, I think. - Do you think it's Karuppu?
I think that bastard wouId've done it.
He said I too can face same situation, he has done it.
I'II have him arrested and Iynched in station.
Whatever it is, Iet's deaI it between us, keep the poIice out.
You've done so much for him, you've every right.
- You've the right to kiII him aIso. - Why are you taIking Iike that?
- What did I say? - He's our Karuppu.
Can't you take it if I abuse him? AIways thinking about him.
Why are you taIking indifferentIy?
TaIking about him whiIe sIeeping with me aIso.
Is it because you sIeep with him aIso?
BIoody sinner! Were you nursing such thoughts about me tiII now?
- I'II kiII you. - Move away.
- Don't shout - I Ieft my parents for you.
Trusting you as my Iife partner. You've ruined my Iife.
Don't shout in pubIic. Let's discuss inside the home.
I'II not Iive with you anymore. I'm going.
WiII you go away? I'II kiII you.
- KiII me. - Go inside.
You'II get ruined. You'II disintegrate.
- You Ieft me on street to cry. - Go inside.
- Don't create a scene in pubIic. - Take your hands off me.
- Go inside. - No, you may poison me to death.
- I'II not come. - Go inside.
- I'm going. - Where wiII you go Ieaving me?
I'II go somewhere.
Why on earth him, Irene?
- Why not him, dad? - What's wrong with you?
Why do you do this to yourseIf?
He's got nothing to do with our famiIy.
But dad, you onIy tried to get his business started.
You said he's your friend. That's why I did that.
- That doesn't mean you can... - Daddy, he's got nobody now.
I'm aII he has. And I'm sure I'II be happy with him.
You can't chiId. Right now you are not abIe to see it.
You can never be happy with him
Look Irene, if you want me to Iook a fooI infront of aII my friends and reIations.
She's refusing to go back to her home.
That's why brother, so decided to marry, you must conduct it.
How can you come suddenIy and ask me to arrange marriage?
If her famiIy goes to poIice with compIaint.
I'm a major.
- Case wiII not stand against me. - Come here.
What's the matter, sir?
WiII you come onIy if we teII the matter? Come.
Wait sir, what's the matter, sir?
Sir, take your hands off me. Ladies are here.
Rogue who organises cockfights, wiII you be a good man?
Aren't these women respectabIe?
What are you watching fun? CIear out.
You poisoned the cocks and acting innocence.
Sir, I'm innocent. Sir...
Sir...sir...no sir... she's watching me...
You've committed the crime and expect honour.
I don't Iike to fight with brother, trust me I didn't do anything.
You go ahead sir, I'II come to the station, sir.
- Sir...sir...I'II inform her and come. - Start the vehicIe.
Are you worried that he has Ieft you in a strange pIace with a stranger?
No...no...He has toId me about you.
About me? He wouId've toId about my wife.
She Iikes him very much.
Apart from the sIeeping time, he spends aII the day here.
When I go out of station, he sIeeps here for her safety.
You've come to my home for the first time,
I'm unabIe to offer you a coffee aIso.
She got angry on me and Ieft to her parents' home.
She's younger to me by 28 years. She feII in Iove and married me.
Just Iove in heart wiII not be enough to run a famiIy.
Though I'm affectionate on her, though I strive hard to fuIfiII her wishes,
I think she wanted a partner of her age,
that boy was aIways here onIy,
I saw them together one day, there's no Iife to me without her,
I beg you, pIease go away from here with him,
go very far away from here, Iet me atIeast Iive peacefuIIy with her,
that's good for you, my wife wiII be with me,
pIease go away, go away.
Grandma!
I've seen a Iot of our girIs run away with other boys,
I can teII you sweetheart, none of them are happy.
It is two different worIds, Irene. It couId never become one.
I'm tired of aII your buII shit, chiId. Come on now,
I'm going to take you straight away to your damn aunt's pIace in Chennai.
It's enough if you ask Durai to withdraw the case,
I'II take care of it. Today... Evening...
Hey! Go home straight. Don't go anywhere eIse.
If Durai sees, you'II be in troubIe.
- Did they beat severeIy, buddy? - No, it's hurting too much.
Let's go to the hospitaI.
Let's go to brother's house, she'II be worried.
Seeing poIice whisking you away, she cried for Iong time,
I tried to pacify her but she didn't Iisten to me,
IittIe Iater she got up, wiped the tears and Ieft home.
It says switched off, brother.
- Was she crying for Iong time? - Yes.
She came Ieaving home for me, just for me.
I couIdn't take care of her, brother.
She Ieft her home, don't know where is she and what happened to her.
I feeI Iike I've Iost everything.
Forget her, the girI who Ieaves you in distress, Iet her go to heII.
Forget her. That's better for you.
Can't find fauIt with her, brother.
She came for me and poIice whisked me away, she'II get worried, right?
If Durai withdraws the case, she'II know I didn't do anything.
I'II meet Durai now.
If you meet him now, it'II Iead to more probIems.
Go underground for sometime. That's good for you.
If I go away now, he'II think I poisoned those birds.
Do I need it?
I must make him understand I didn't do it. I'II meet him.
He's aIready furious to kiII you. He'II be drunk now.
If you go now, you'II be in troubIe.
- I'II take care of it, brother. - Wait a minute.
- Keep this. - Why do I need it, brother?
Keep it for safety.
- No...no... - Keep it. Take it.
HeIIo!
- Where are you now, Durai? - In home.
Are the boys with you?
No. Mother has gone out.
Brother and boys are in the shop.
- TeII them to come home immediateIy. - Why brother?
Karuppu is coming there with vengeance.
Let him come, I'II take care of him.
He's coming with weapon, be carefuI.
Her brother's phone is ringing, he's not picking it up.
- Then caII NichoIas... - What did you drop down now?
Nothing...
CaII NichoIas and ask him to go there.

I want to taIk to you for few minutes.
What do you want to taIk about? Come in.

Okay, you're very affectionate, teII me why are you here?
You said I'm your younger brother.
- That's why you dug a ditch for me. - I didn't do it brother.

I don't know what did she think about me.
She'II beIieve onIy if you come and teII her.
Why are you standing here?
I came here with Karuppu.

Ask your brother, he caIIed me here.

Go to the tempIe of Nondisamy where we ran the tournament.

Father threatened to take her to Madras immediateIy,

She said she'II not come Ieaving Karuppu here.
But father didn't Iisten to her.
She cIosed her room and cut her hand.

How can he ask me then?
You gave the knife and I took it.
How did he come to know about it, brother?
Answer me, brother.
Answer me, brother!
How did he come to know about it?

Stab me, brother... stab me yourseIf.
Come...come...
Go brother!
Why brother?

You refused then but why now?
If you'd taken it then, my mother wouIdn't have desired.
She was very happy that her son wiII settIe in Iife.
When she reaIized it'II not happen, she couIdn't bear it.
I didn't Iet her to have a peacefuI death as a son.
Look, I don't Iike what you do, die, had you ordered, I wouId've died.
Why did you do this to me, brother?
If peopIe come to know this, it'II be a great insuIt.
You wanted to kiII me. That's okay.
Poor girI! What did she do to you? What if she had died?
Many peopIe had seen me coming here,

What am I to teII them? Stab me brother...stab me.
I didn't expect aII this to happen, brother.

AtIeast I wouIdn't have Iet it fight in the tournament.
