Greetings!
Arbitrator! What's the matter?
Dispute of Namasivayam's agnates have come for arbitration
We have come to seek your opinion before giving judgement
Namasivayam is submissive to us
But his agnates do not care for us!
So give a fair judgement!
A judgement that is fair to us!
Because we have to survive in this place!
- Okay - We take leave!
Muthaiah, why did you come?
Sir, our banana grove is ravaged by rain and wind!
Now we have no means for our bread
- Sami Pillai - Sir
Find out what he wants and help him!
Okay, sir!
- Muthaiah - Sir
One thing
With just 5 acres of land what will you do?
You suffer even in drought and floods
You sell that land to me
Deducting money borrowed by you I will give you the balance
Why are you hesitating?
You can work on your land I'll pay you wages!
Whether it is drought or floods The loss is not yours...
What do you say?
Who will be so magnanimous? Accept it!
We also feel it would be better
- Sami Pillai - Sir
- Arrange for registration tomorrow - Okay, sir!
You come tomorrow
- Ok, sir - Go
There are some more fools like them
If they also fall in line It would be great
If you can't repay loan, accept it How can you hit that naive guy?
Are you a big thug? Hope you know about me
I'm good to a good man and bad to a bad man
I'll chop you if you fail to pay him in 2 days
Go
Who are you?
Cool down! Don't talk to me in same vein...I will get scared
I am secretary to landlord Sundaravelu I am Sami Pillai
I've heard about you What's the matter?
Can I sit and talk? My knee joints ache
I'm not yet married I don't know how I got this ache
Sit down
- Like to have tender coconut? - No, I came for another purpose
You have 6 acres of land in the middle of landlords property
He finds it difficult to plough this land using a tractor
Had it been anybody else's land he would have grabbed it
Because it is yours he has sent me...
How much money do you need?
We don't sell our ancestral property
I don't think it's wise to refuse him
I don't think it's wise to sell our land You can go
I knew, he would refuse
He is the right person to check the landlord
Now I have to instigate him!
- Forget, we can't make fools understand - He is arrogant, not a fool
He can reject the offer How can he be discourteous?
What did he say?
He said that you cannot intimidate him...
...and if you brush with him he would cut your tails
- What does he mean by that? - Did he say like that?
It was worse than that I can't say that
Come on, tell me
He said you are a womanizer
He said utilizing the ancestral wealth you behave outrageously
He said your authority is coming to an end
He says he can visualise your fall
He said it
Permit me, right now I will...
Stupid, be quiet! Just like him, he is a big shot in his place
Does it mean I should tolerate him?
No, it's a big issue
We have to be cunning to precipitate this and fix him
- What do you mean? - I'll make him fall in your trap
I'll tell you a plan to destroy his property...
...and break him from his brother
- When? - Give me some time
Why do you laugh?
How come you like him?
Be careful don't address him in singular
You get so angry Have you ever talked to him?
- No - Are you loving without seeing?
Seems she was impressed by his bull taming skills
- He is a lucky guy - If you address him in singular again
So what? Have you married him?
I'll marry him only
You haven't even talked to him...
I want to meet and talk to him suggest some ways
Look, there he is coming
Scream as if a snake has bitten you
He would come, touch and help Think in these lines...
Will he believe her?
Come, there is a way out
Oh God! Snake has bitten
Please someone save me
Snake has bitten Please someone save me
Please someone save me, it's paining
Where?
Which snake has bitten? Is it viper, or garter?
How can any one find out the species when it bites?
- It's paining, I'm scared - Don't be scared, poison may go to head
It doesn't seem like a snake bite It has just one mark
- It's paining - Ok, let's remove the poison first
What are you going to do? After a deep incision...
...if it is pressed the poison will gush out
- No, I'll show to doctor? - Are you kidding?
- It's snake bite - No...!
- Oh God! No - Listen, it will spread
- No, listen to me - Just bear for 5 minutes
- Please bear the pain - Don't, just leave it
I'll hit you, are you kidding? It's snake bite
I think it's not a snake bite
What are you blabbering?
I saw a snake passing by me
I jumped out of scare Might be a thorn prick
Don't lie seeing this knife It is a question of life
- Truth only! - It is a thorn prick
I'm an expert I told you it's not snake bite
Who are you?
I'm Sundaravelu's sister Soundarya
I haven't seen you before
I was with my grandma studying in a convent
- What did you say? - An English school is called convent
I'm Kaalaiyan from neighboring town
- I know you - How do you know?
I saw you taming the bull
Did you see that? How was it?
You know only to tame a bull
What else should a man know?
Should know to tame a girl also
At the appropriate time I will marry someone
What do you know? Who will marry you?
What do you mean? What do you think of me?
I'm jack of all trades
Then, can you tell meaning for this song?
Sing, you will get rapid answers
The snake that made a giggling bite...
...got swollen without many noticing
...and when it looked for relief
Oh snake! Dance as it has peeled off
Tell me the meaning for this
What did you say? Did you call me? I' m coming
Jack of all trades! Tell me before you go
Suddenly I can't I need some time
Ok, tell me tomorrow at the same time, same place
I'll do it easily
Oh I got trapped
What is that snake doing mock bites?
Can you tell me the meaning for a song?
Which song is it?
The snake that made a giggling bite...
...got swollen without many noticing
- And when it looked for relief - That is it...
Oh snake! Dance as it has peeled off
- Is this the song? - What is it?
I don't know its meaning
Is there a snake like that?
Who knows, there could be one
Tell me if you know, else keep quiet
Who will know about it?
Ask grandma, she knows about snakes
She sounds like snake when she speaks
- Grandma - Who is that?
Come close I can't see you
I can't see you, come near
It's me Kaalaiyan
Are you Aandal's son? What's the matter?
- I don't know the meaning of one song - Which song?
The snake that made a giggling bite...
...got swollen without many noticing
Why are you laughing?
Grandson! Don't you know even this?
Who said this?
- A girl said this - Oh God! Ask that girl
Then only you will experience that joy!
Stupid fellow How could you ask this to an old lady?
Why does the old lady feel shy? What could be the meaning?
While sowing corn seeds You said that to me, young lass
While sowing corn seeds...
- Why do you follow me? - What if we did that? Will you lay eggs?
You go and work in the field I will be back in a flash
You can't do a thing in a flash
He is joking
- Where is he going all alone? - He said he has some urgent work
He has never gone like this! He used to tell us before he goes
- He is not alright since yesterday - Neither you were alright
Haven't you noticed? He is humming a song since yesterday
We know that a snake bites in anger
Will it come and bite giggling? There is something to it
- How will we find out that? - We will
We will follow him without his knowledge
We will find out what it is...come
- Were you here? - Yes
I thought you wouldn't come
I didn't get sleep last night
Did I come in your thoughts?
I was thinking over your song! What does it mean?
Don't you know really?
If I knew why will I come here?
If I tell you the meaning will you stop talking to me?
Why not? I will talk about something else
Tell me the meaning of that song first
You are really a naughty girl
Was it you who whistled a while ago?
I thought it was cuckoo cooing! Do it again!
You are a man and you don't know to whistle
Who are you telling this to?
I don't know this silly whistling
Mine is superior to this Do you want to hear?
How is it?
I don't know how to whistle like a cuckoo
Bring your lips together like this
- I couldn't do that - You can't do it in a single day
Come tomorrow also at the same time here
You can do it, if you try for a couple of days, come tomorrow
Are you getting intertwined in this? This is enough for me
This is like an owl Go and practice alone, you will learn it
I can do that Look here
You are a man and you do not know to whistle
I can do better, see this
This is not like a cuckoo
Bring your lips together and slowly...
I can't
You won't be able to do it in a single day
Come tomorrow, at the same time
If you do it a couple of days you will be able to do this
I will come at the same time tomorrow
You are mischievous!
Boss! I've an idea to keep this Kaalaiyan in our grips
What?
Kaalaiyan is the only one who has equal wealth as you
But he does not know to maintain or enjoy, like you do
He lacks experience
Hence I suggest, give your sister to him in marriage...
...and bring him to your house as your groom
If you find some way for his brothers and send them...
...the entire wealth of his will be yours
We will gradually acquire everything in the name of lease
I can make those who opposed and insult me...
...to come down to my feet
Soundarya should give consent for this
She will surely agree, I know
Ask her
I will go and ask my sister trusting you
Trust me! Then only I can succeed
I have no wealth, or health to oppose you
That is why I am now a manager here...
...working since my childhood
Muthaiah! What do you say finally?
Can't you find another place to build your palace?
- We are here for generations! - I am not asking you free of cost
I can pay you whatever you demand
Or if you want an alternate place I can give you double this place
You have to forgive me boss
You know what will happen if I am aroused?
This is atrocious
You say you will get aroused...
...if I don't give my house and land
How can you justify it?
I have not come here to find out what is fair or not?
Will you give or not?
Are you staring at me?
What can I do if you do not budge?
We are not willing to give away my house and ancestral land
- Sami, Lakshmi, Raju, Babu! - The house is on fire
Dad, fire The house is ablaze
Careful!
All in our family have lost their lives
Sami, you have to live! You've to avenge the cruel land lord
You should destroy his family and annihilate his family
Dad! Daddy!
Run away, don't come here
I was the only one who have escaped in that tragedy
Do you know why God has saved me?
He has saved me to perish your family...
...which was built on our destruction
What is the hurry for my marriage now?
Let your marriage be the first! You are elder to me
Men can marry at any age...
...but women have to get married in time
I will go to Kaalaiyan's house tomorrow and arrange for the betrothal
Put it
Please come, land lord
Could not see you for a long time
Kaalaiyan! Why do you do this cow dung work?
Can't you engage someone for this?
The cow and the dung are ours! What is wrong in me doing?
- You please come - Is to assist you?
You have enough wealth and if you live the way you should...
...you will have fame and reputation
Only then, people will respect you
We get the same respect even now
Sami Pillai told me that you asked for some land
We do not buy or sell the land our ancestors have acquired
- We follow that norm - What about that Kaalaiyan?
I haven't come to discuss that
I have come to discuss some an important thing
Then, please come in
Spread the diamond studded carpet
Hold this
Spread it, it is not in use for some time, that 's why
Men in status should come for that You please sit here
I think we can sit here! You are a big shot, shouldn't sit there
Come on, sit brother
Lay it!
Where is he? Please come
Please sit, sir
- You too sit - Why have you come?
The time is going to be good for you
You have house and enough wealth...
...but do not know to enjoy it
It is the bandicoot which enjoys it
You should understand...
...when the landlord himself has come to your house, sit erect
I have come to you to discuss about marriage
Marriage?
Don't you understand even this?
Land lord has decided to give his sister to you in marriage
Marriage for me? Why all of a sudden, this?
Look here, you are the only one in this area...
...who is equally wealthy as I am
That's why I have come to you for this tie up
You need not have to worry about your property any more
He will take care of everything, when you marry his sister
You can be like a king
Okay, it is an important matter
I will discuss with my brothers and tell you
They are your brothers, they would not say no
I will discuss with them and tell you any way
Why don't you have something to eat?
Let the matter conclude The feast can be later
- We are leaving! - Okay, sir!
You did not have anything that I am worried
I will be come back soon and have your food! See you!
You think well and give your right decision to them
You should be lucky to get the offer from him
I can tell you only this much! You see to that
Move brothers! I am leaving!
What will we say to him, when the land lord...
...himself has come to our house?
You should have said okay to him
She is from a noble family, have good looks...
...and learned too
Above all, she knows how to whistle
Do not kid! This is important
You have to think well before taking a decision
- You know why I have not married so far? - Why brother?
You are more important to me than that!
My future girl should not be detrimental to our unity!
I have seen many families ruined just because of a girl
This girl of yours looks good! You also like her, go ahead
Okay! I will go to his house this Friday...
...and arrange for the betrothal
You take all your right decisions leaning on this pillar
Marriage for my brother!
Why are you so happy about that?
After his marriage, then it is yours! I will be the third!
His will be the fourth His will be the fifth
- I don't need any marriage! - Why?
There will be 4 sisters in law! It is enough for me
My God! His marriage should be the first...
...or else we will be in danger!
When there are 4 of them to cook for us...
...why do I need a marriage?
You rice sack! Marriage is not just to cook
What else does it serve?
You, brother!
You keep quiet! I will tell him in a proper way
The reason why we marry is not for her to cook!
She has to help us prepare cow dung fuel
Have your brother decided to give you to Kaalaiyan in marriage?
- This is the talk of the town now! - Yes
We never thought it would be finalized so easily
Why?
He may have enough wealth, but he could not lead a life...
...with prestige and self esteem so I thought your brother won't like him
He may be like that now! After our marriage I'll change him all over
He won't come to your house leaving his brothers
You will have to go there and prepare cow dung fuel
That won't cut ice with me!
See how I separate him from his brothers!
- Brother! - Please come Sami Pillai
Why are you holding your leg?
As long as you have a leg you will have knee pain
As long you have stomach you will have gastric problem
Forget that! A suffering daily!
You said you will let us know...
...your concurrence So far no one has come to us
The land lord has sent me to enquire about it
Should you enquire to know this? You are knowledgeable
When I have not send any body you should have taken...
...for granted that you got the message
I got the message, but not the land lord
Don't you like Soundarya for real?
I saw you both conversing...
I like her, but not her character
You talk as if you are city bred you like her not her character
What do you mean by that?
I overheard that she will separate me and my brothers after the marriage
Are you rejecting just for this?
I will tell you something You get married to her
If she is ok, live with her
If you do not like, divorce and have one mistress
Are you noble enough?
Go and tell him that I don't like her Now you get out
If I tell him that now, it will be a big shame for him
You are inviting trouble for you!
Do you know who you are talking to?
I can face anything come what may!
I have kindled and it has fired!
My job is only to pour oil into it
How brash he would be to ignore you and your proposal
When I feel shameful you would certainly feel so!
I won't get sleep until he and his family are destroyed
What do we gain from that?
If he and his brothers are beaten to death by our men...
...the uncared property will be acquired by the government
Your sister's wish will not be fulfilled!
We should handle it very carefully!
- Get up all of you - What is going on?
The dog is barking! Let us see what is that!
- Someone yawns horribly in the dark! - It is him, you fool
Stop! Who are you?
I have found who it is!
Two cows were stolen from Konar's house last week...
Do you mean to say she is one of them?
I mean to say that she would have stolen them
- I am not that kind of a girl - Who are you? Where do you come from?
I am from neighborhood Anaipatti!
The henchmen of the land lord were chasing me!
I came here and hid myself here!
Why should the henchmen of Anaipatty land lord chase you?
I'll explain to you all My name is Kannamma!
We were living a happy life in our village

What is it, sir?
I have an important news for you!
- You'll be surprised to hear that - Can't understand
I have decided to marry you!
I have not fallen for any girls so far!
You are the lucky girl
Do not take me to a unfortunate situation like that!
- What are you saying? - Golden cage can come to the bird
But no bird will like to be in a cage!
A snake has bitten your dad in the palm grove of the landlord
Sangili has gone to call the physician!
Dad!
Is my dad bitten by a snake? Where is he?
Nothing wrong with him! He is working in the field
Can you disgrace he land lord and live your life?
If you will comprehend you can have the life of a queen!
If not, he will make the whole place laugh at you
I know about your plot!
But I will not live forsaking my honour!
- Where is your boss? - He's in the forest bungalow!
Come, we'll go there
Is it right for a big shot like you?
Big shots like to achieve what they long for!
I wanted to attain you, hence, I asked you giving respect to you
But you did not care for me That is why I went for this shortcut...
...- to get you here
What for?
What will be done after a traditional marriage...
...will be done here right now
Lust is not the reason for that
Because I want to make you as my life partner
Leave me please! Leave me!
Leave me please!
Please forgive me I will come down to your feet
Sir,you are a millionaire! I am just a poor girl
I said 'no' only on that score!
I have never imagined that you have so much love for me!
You ask my father as per the custom! I am willing!
Look Kannamma! I have no intention to attain you by force
I want to attain you the proper way, go
Don't think you can deceive me If you attempt...
Why have you come here?
Whatever it is we will talk tomorrow!
You may be a big shot But you can't lay hands on any girl!
If you behave with her any more with bad intention...
...your head will not be over the neck! It will roll on the floor!
- Beware! - Boss!
You said Madasami died in the corn field last month...
...when this bull ran into him
Now I know how he has died!
Let it be Madasami or any one This will be the end for all those...
...who oppose the landlord
If he has enough guts let him fight with me
Not with my daughter! Aren't you ashamed?
How many Madasamis and Veeraiahs can you kill?
Before destroying people like Sundaravelu...
...slaves like you should be destroyed
...then only the society will prosper!
This one horned bull has killed Veeraiah!
- You are all eye witnesses for this! - Yes, sir
- Tell this in the village committee - Okay, sir
We saw it
The one horned bull came running with rage...
It hit him with its horn and threw him off
Not at all This is a lie
My dad was killed by landlord's henchmen!
Who is the witness for what you say?
God is the only witness!
Based on witnesses the committee has decided...
...Veeeriah was killed by this bull and delivers its judgment!
I know about the landlord He would have done it
Boys, let her sleep at the back room Give her a matt
It is alright, I will sleep here
Not here! It has mosquitoes and is dirty Go in and sleep
It is late early morning people will come to buy milk
- Come let us go to bed - You fat fellow! Get up!
Get up, come No other go
Weighs like a bull! Told him not to eat cattle feed!
My God! It is time!
Wait! I will give you milk now!
Even now, it is 6 'o' clock! You've to milk the cow...
...and we have to take the milk to the town
Wait till the cow milks!
I have overslept You should have woke me up!
It is you who will wake us up! We have slept off in that thought
Your fight can be later It is getting late for us
Just a minute! I will be back now!
Come fast Come fast
Why did it happen like this?
Come fast
Are these our cows? They look clean, after their bath!
You said people will come from the society...
...to buy milk from us at 5 in the morning
So I got up early
Take the milk and give it to them
The milk also looks clean today!
When you were not to be seen I thought you have vanished
You gave me asylum when I was in trouble!
Will I go without telling you?
I will do one thing
I will get you a job elsewhere
You can stay here until then!
Why do I need a job elsewhere?
If you agree I will stay here...
...looking after your house hold work
I agree to that, yet I will consult my brothers and tell you
- What is your name? - Kannamma!
God will always be on the side of the good people
Be courageous!
Younger brother! I wanted to ask you one thing!
If you munch like this won't your mouth ache?
I'll stitch your mouth some day
White and clean clothes are dried up in our door!
This is not our house Come, let us go
- We can't find our house - This is your house
These clothes are yours!
I have laundered it clean and made it white
You have washed them all white!
How to find out which dhoti is whose?
That is right
If it is damp with red soil it is the dhoti of the eldest brother
If it is mixed up with black it must be his dhoti
If there are white patches it must be mine
This is how we find our dhotis
Now, how can we find out the right one?
Don't worry! Tomorrow I'll mark the dhotis, to distinguish one from others
- Now all come for food! - Food!
Do not leave him He will get into the oven!
What are all these?
This is Pachadi, it's Poriyal and it's Koottu (All are Indian dishes)
You name them, but we have not tasted them before
Who did the cooking before I came?
- It is me - You?
Is it a big thing? You have to clean and cook it
- What then? - Then it is our fate
One day it will be half cooked!
Next day it will be like glue!
You have to eat as it is, drink some curd over it...
...and drink some water
It will get settled in the stomach on one side, that 's all
When you have enough comforts...
...why do you have food which is not tasty?
Is that a food?
We don't live to eat We eat only to live
Shall we live today just to eat?
Dump it! Gosh!
This is real food!
Sami Pillai! The bull fight for this year should be pompous!
Kaalaiyan will come this time also We have to somehow tackle him
- Hope you remember that? - You come there and watch!
Spectators, beloved elders...
...and the young blood!
I have a happy news for all of you
This is the bull from my cattle shed, Ramu!
For those who tame it will get 5 acre fertile land as prize!
Besides, I will also give him my sister Soundarya in marriage!
Move aside! I will tame this bull!
- In case he tames the bull? - I will buy him some money
Don't worry, I will not give you to him!
Take him to the hospital
Seems you are stunned!
Heard, in taming bulls...
...you are an expert in this area
Will you fight with only weakling bulls?
On provocation don't try to tame the bull
It would take your intestine out!
Go brother! They are challenging you!
Go brother, go, go
Bravo! Kaalaiyan! You have won the competition
- As announced by me... - Just a moment land lord!
I have not tamed the bull to get the reward you announced
I tamed it because I wanted to show you who I am...
I don't need your prize or your sister
INTERMISSION
- Sir! I have a nice plan - What is it?
Kaalaiyan's brothers are playing here
It is a golden opportunity to humiliate him
How?
Good! Sami Pillai!
I am used to attacking from front like a tiger
I don't take short cuts and scheme like a wolf
I was born through short cut!
Don't mistake me Why do you read between lines?
When my mom had labour pain she went through a short cut...
...to reach the nursing home
I was born en route I was referring to that
Implement the plan Do it precisely!
Kaalaiyan should limp henceforth
You mean he should lose a leg!
I have to decide, it is whose leg?
Sangili!
- Have you caught the cock? - Yes
Both of you have this mango!
Did you call for this?
We have enough mangoes in our grove!
- Come on! - Wait
You cant find a mango like this It will be as sweet as honey!
My boss bought it from Andhra
Taste it!
Have it Bite
- How it is? - Yes, it is really sweet!
It is from that tree You may pluck from that tree!
- Come, let's go - Go...!
Who is that stealing mangoes?
Mind your language Sami Pillai permitted us!
Should learn to tell lies Where is Sami Pillai here?
How dare you steal mangoes from the grove of land lord?
Frankly, Swami Pillai only permitted us
Leave me! Leave me
Leave us, we will replace it with 200 mangoes!
My brother will come and skin you
See who skins whom?
Leave me! Oh god!
Your brothers are being beaten up!
Who has beaten my brothers?
- Who tied them? - It is me
How dare are you do that?
They stole mangoes from our grove
This is the customary punishment for that
You stooge, what mangoes you have that we don't have, beggars
I will chop you off!
Landlord has ordered them to be tied up till evening!
- If you release them - Will you tear us?
Grab him!
Brother! Look there!
He sent goons to break his leg But he has broken their legs!
Release them!
What do you hesitate? You stooge
See how he blinks! I will kick you in the buttocks!
Tell your boss it is not valour to send goons...
...to hit and smash innocent guys
If he has guts let him meet me face to face
Did you get hurt? Sami Pillai you are great!
Kannamma! What have you cooked today?
Fried ladies fingers, and dry fish curry!
Great! Will have a nice feast!
Sangili! Go to Kaalaiyan's house and bring Kannamm here
Okay, sir
Wait! You always act in haste!
He has said something in haste! Will you go immediately?
This will only tarnish his image!
If the local people question your act, who will answer them?
They would say she belongs to our place, so we have taken her!
Nonsense! Shut your mouth! I thought it was him
Will law permit this?
Though police and arbitrators are siding us...
...we must abide the law to escape from troubles later
Muthazhagu is her fiance We will send him
We will send our men along with him
If we fights for her we can justify that!
He has the rights to do that
Even if it ends in a tussle leading to murder, we are safe
It is also a nice idea!
- Bring Muthazhagu here! - Okay, sir
Someone has come in the cart!
Get up!
Kannamma!
- Who are you? - What do you want?
Where is she?
She is working inside! Who are you?
You kid! I am her fiance
She is missing and we were searching her
We heard that you have kidnapped her
We did not kidnap her She has come on her own
Even then, how can you keep her here?
- Who is that? - Kannamma!
What is that you have in mind?
Is it you!
Have you come with the proposal?
Yes, it is my first job when I take you home!
Come!
If you call me in singular, I will hit you
What did you say?
What is the problem here?
I have come here to take my fiancee home
When Sundarvelu troubled me...
...you took shelter inside your house then like an effeminate
Now, you want to own me Aren't you ashamed?
- I won't come with you! - What did you say?
You didn't get it? She called you effeminate first
Then she said she won't come with you
You can take her if my brother permits
Who is your brother to permit me, to take my girl?
- Come, you! - Leave me!
- Don't push you fool!
Leave me!
- Brother! - What has happened?
About 4 to 5 thugs came and took Kannamma with them
- Were you quiet then? - No! We were getting the blows!
They say she is their girl and took her away, what to do?
- Which way they had gone? - North bound!
Give them a thrash Don't leave them
Don't leave!
Chase!
Chase like that!
Oh god!
Leave!
Leave me!
Please save me!
- Don't try to escape - Leave me
Save me!
Leave me
Where will you go?
Leave me
Save me!
Come here!
You need this!
You stupid! You deserve it You are a fool!
You deserve it!
That is all okay, Kaalaiyan!
What rights you have to give her asylum?
She is our servant maid
That may not cut ice with arbitrators The village will turn against you!
If her relatives want you to hand over her...
Nothing can be done
That is the rule of the village!
If she is sent back Sundaravelu will ruin her!
Do you know that?
If you are keen to save her There is only one way out
- What is that? - You have to marry her!
She has to agree for this wholeheartedly
When we ask her in the arbitration you both have to stick to this
Then, her relatives will have no say in this
Don't mistake me when I ask this straight
I don't know to beat around the bush
Do you like to marry me?
Don't show your gratitude for the help done by me...
...or because I am a big shot in this place
Because you stay with me the rumour mill is working overtime
Besides, this might invite the wrath of local people
They ask what right I have to keep you in my house
It is justifiable also
I am not marrying you to resolve this issue
I really like you! Tell me your wish!
I should be very fortunate!
I thought you will not agree to this!
Who will not like to marry you?
I don't do anything without my brothers' consent
I am afraid as to how I would convince them, if they feel...
...I am marrying an house maid who is an orphan
Do not worry about that I will handle them!
Why are you crying? Why do you bundle up your clothes?
I am going away from this house
If you go away from here we have to toil with these cattle!
- Don't go Kannamma! - No, I have to go
Why are you adamant? Why do you want to go away?
How can I be here? The locals don't allow me to stay here!
They ask me what rights I have to stay here!
Forget the rights! Brother will answer them, don't worry
What will your brother say?
What rights he have to ask me to stay here!
Is he my husband?
If a virgin girl stays in a house...
...it is natural the locals would talk ill of it!
It did not occur to us You be our sister-in-law!
Yes, Kannamma! No, you are our sister-in-law!
You need not go anywhere!
We won't leave you!
You've said that, what about your brother?
Do not worry about that! I will make him agree
Why do you need this?
Come, let us go!
Brother, she says she will go away from the house
Why?
She says, people are teasing her
She says, she has no right to stay here
Do you know only now?
We can give asylum, job and food to an orphan
What else can we give?
She will stay with us if you agree to marry her
What do you want now? You want to call her sister-in-law!
Go ahead!
Come here! Is that enough?
How can we call her without this?
- What? - This!
- Marriage? - Yes!
You marry her as per the custom!
Say yes to that! There is no lice in my head now!
There are no rats in the house! We wear white dress!
We have good food Should we eat your cooking again?
Should I have to marry her just because she does all this to you?
What is marriage? It is an everlasting one!
They should understand each other
They should love each other
They should live for each other
You can't tell it in words!
It should come from their hearts!
It comes out from her heart
- It should come from here also - When will it come?
- At the right time - Time!
Is marriage is a simple thing?
You will not get a girl like her She is responsible, loving
She cares us like her sons! Agree to this!
For your sake, I will do anything!
Even if you ask me to marry a log, I would do that!
Okay, I will marry her as you all wish
Let us sing and dance to celebrate it
We will have good food always
Hit your paunch, you pumpkin head
Then!
Do you know what I have told them?
Love is something to come from the bottom of the heart!
Seems you have told them it is surging in you!
What did you say?
I said I have no rights to stay here And I will leave the place
- So you know to act! - Can you only do acting?
- Ask that to the people - I too know that!
Your brothers may watch
What if they see?
They know that we are going to marry!
Poor fellows! They couldn't find our game!
Who is pelting this clod?
Kannamma! Pardon us!
What happened?
You can go from here!
Why?
Why do you ask her to go?
If you marry her to satisfy us will that life of yours be peaceful?
Kannamma, you may go now!
We have thought it over!
We knew that you are not willing to marry Kannamma
Kannamma, you go away!
I told you that I will marry Kannamma!
We can understand if you marry her with your consent
Why should you suffer marrying her for our sake?
Right!
You said something about marriage! Do you remember that?
No
Don't you remember? Shall I tell that?
What is marriage? It is an everlasting one
They should understand each other
They should love each other
It can't be expressed It has to come from heart!
I don't think it has emerged from your hearts!
You can go now!
She is an orphan, where will she go?
Let her go anywhere she likes!
No! I will marry her!
No brother! Why do you take a half hearted decision?
Why don't you marry a girl whom you really like?
Kannamma! You can go!
Kanna...!
- She is there! - Listen to me!
Why do you tap your fingers on me?
No!
Stop your play, brother!
I pity them both!
Was that your game?
I wanted make a fool of them but this bandicoot has spoiled everything
What is it now?
You both wanted to deceive us! We have heard it
This is a tit for tat by him!
How was that in the shed?
You said we are innocent and pushed the clod on us like this
How is it now?
Why put up all this act, when you love each other...
...you have decided to marry But enact drama to deceive us
How did we enact a play now?
How can you tell that youngsters like...
Enough! Looks sheepish
Look at her face, It's turned red as if she has eaten a chilly
Is it an horse race?
- Where are you going? - I am going to the field
You can go this way too!
Go...!
Go away!
After dark you can't say who is decent?
You have to stay awake and guard to make things in order!
"Every flower has a fragrance"
"Every song has a melody"
"My life has a meaning!"
"New bonds New reminisces!"
"It is happiness everyday"
"Every flower has a fragrance"
"Every song has a melody"
"My life has a meaning!"
"New bonds New reminisces!"
"It is happiness everyday"
"Should build an affectionate nest and guard it"
"Should shower maternal affection and guard"
"Would smile as she has come like a mother"
"Children would worship you"
"Oh grove! That swings in affection!"
"An embodiment of demeanor!"
"Oh light, Goddess of wealth! It's a new bond, joy bloomed"
"Every flower has a fragrance"
"Every song has a melody"
"My life has a meaning!"
"New bonds New reminisces!"
"It is happiness everyday"
"I sought refuge You guarded me"
"You became my God!"
"Expressed my gratitude in eyes!"
"Would always follow your path"
"Oh bond that rules me!"
"Won't forget you ever"
"Oh dreams! Oh reminisces!"
"Would worship you daily"
"Every flower has a fragrance"
"Every song has a melody"
"My life has a meaning!"
"New bonds New reminisces!"
"It is happiness everyday"
You have to take the lead in my marriage arrangements
Surely, you don't have to tell me that
- Have you informed everyone? - Yet to inform others!
- Don't forget to inform everyone! - Bye, sir!
- Sir! - Don't talk
Tomorrow morning marriage is scheduled
My status, wealth and a host of men has not helped me
I could not what I wanted to do
It is not late even now! I've a suggestion
Hell with your suggestion! Nothing fructifies!
Don't be hasty
You will get the results only in the end
What I have in mind is...
Sangili, please wait outside I will call you!
He is distributing marriage invitations
Send Sangili to stab him
Fool! Can Sangili do that? If we get in to legal tussle?
Will I say this without giving a thought?
If Sangili stabs him, Sangili will go to the jail
If Kaalaiyan stabs Sangili Kaalaiyan will go to jail
The marriage will be stopped in any case
How is that?
Sangili!
Why are you coming in my way?
I am not coming in your way You are blocking my way!
Are you kidding with me?
I am not mean minded Give me way
Seems you are getting married tomorrow! Have you invited all?
You have not invited me!
I have run out of invitations You come for my marriage
Is she going to be your wife or to all five brothers of you?
Sangili!
Why do you scream?
You will only tie the knot, but she will be the wife to all of you!
That is the talk of the town
Get up, you! Get up!
The enmity is not between us
It is between the land lord and me, you stooge!
Why should I kill you?
You understand about me at least now!
- What are you looking at? - Nothing, sir
He has escaped today
You watch out, I'll behead him and place it on your feet in two days
What is the use?
He'll marry her tomorrow morning
I have to stop that and the only way out is...
What is that, sir?
You too, sir?
What is this?
Kaalaiyan has killed Sangili! We will tell that to the arbitrator!
- Bring the girl - Okay!
Sit!
Sir!
Priest! Have it!
Beat the drum!
Stop it
We have come to arrest you for murdering Sangili!
Sangili? Me?
Yes
We quarelled yesterday but I did not kill him
Explain that in station
Prove it with evidence Now you come with us, handcuff him
Wait for a few minutes Let him tie the knot at auspicious time
Not possible, there is an order to bring him at once, come man
They were beating the drums It was time for tying the knot
We were about to handcuff him
He was about to lock him Suddenly he fled from the place
With great difficulty I trapped him!
You have let him go Scot free
- Don't worry - Are you consoling you?
I only know his anguish!
He may be hiding in the nearby forest
We've informed all the police stations
- Then they will nab him - We will nab them
Who will get the wages?
It is good in a way that he has escaped
That will confirm the crime against him
No one will believe him hereafter!
We will be back with good news!
You will come...
I have been noticing everything
Kaalaiyan rejected me because of you!
Kannamma rejected you only because of you
What do you blabber?
You have tried to achieve by force what is to be achieved by love
So you threatened them
Love and marriage can't be forced down throat!
I know what to do and when to do
I don't want any body's counsel!
What can you do now?
Out of jealousy you have charged him with murder!
This is not for the good
Don't tell this to anyone! Everything will be tainted!
What is there to be tainted now?
Change yourself at least now Injustice has never succeeded
Hen should not cackle like a rooster
I know about history You don't have to advise me anything
"Oh my dear darling! Is it you?"
"Can't you love me?"
"Shall I come? Can I caress you?"
"Is not stroking a pleasure?"
"Oh my dear darling!"
"During midnight my thoughts hover around you"
"Lost my sleep at nights What hearty joy can I share?"
"To see my charm and give myself to your strong arms..."
"At a time when buds bloom yearn with new desires!"
"To live without withering"
"...come soon to lean on your shoulders"
"Oh my dear darling! Is it you?"
"Shall I come? Can I caress you?"
"I'll seek you singing!"
"Even if you question me, I am your pair"
"I will tell you a secret I will surprise you!"
"I will tell you the trick to conquer the foes"
"You are my God I am your wealth"
"It would be pleasant always"
"Oh my dear darling! Is it you?"
"Can't you love me?"
"Shall I come? Can I caress you?"
"Is not stroking a pleasure?"
"Oh my dear darling!"
- What brought you here? - I came in search of you
I know that
You may hate me, but I can't hate you
Don't talk nonsense
I have to come out of the trap laid by your brother
I want to teach him a lesson You may go now
You can't come out of that trap
Not only your life, but the life of Kannamma...
...and your brothers, will all get ruined
I know all the secrets
You are innocent It is my brother's handiwork
I can prove that with evidence and save you
I don't expect anyone to give me a lease of life
I know to safeguard me
I am waiting to face your brother's atrocities
I have come face to face
I appreciate your courage
You are great sister
Thank you for your help to catch him
Don't tell lies! Don't believe him
I did not come to help him I swear
Kaalaiyan! Come to the police station
If you try to escape from me...
No, brother!
I have not betrayed you Believe me at least now
Kaalaiyan has killed my sister
- Do you know the news? - What is that?
Kaalaiyan abducted landlord's sister and stabbed her to death
- Was it done by him? - Yes! That is what the police say
Why is Kaalaiyan behaving strangely?
If he can be in landlord's good books he can live peacefully
You have misplaced your brains
Do you have any sense?
Land lord needs our help to nab him
He calls us frequently, and bribes us now and then
We share it between us
They will not allow us to be peaceful
Is this police station or a dormitory?
Head constable has an headache I was applying oil
There are no cases Hence we were chatting
Is there no case?
Lot of murders have happened in this area
What actions have you taken on that?
We are trying to nab Kaalaiyan
Where are those files?
- File...? - You be seated sir
I am police officer talking Come out boldly
If you try to hide from the police suspicions on you will increase
Don't you have any sense? Why do you shoot at him?
He is a terrible killer
If we are not smart he might even kill us
He is a terrible killer!
I know who is a terrific killer and who his accomplices were?
I want to nab him alive to prove that
No one should do anything without my order
Don't be frightened They won't shoot you any more
I promise, you will not be harmed
Surrender to me with courage
I tell this for your benefit
Kannamma has explained everything to me
Sir!
It is hereby announced that...
...Kaalaiyan has killed the police officer who went to nab him
Anyone who provides clues to nab him alive or dead...
...will be rewarded suitably
Give your information's to the nearest police station
Come sir, come
This way, sir Come
Where did Kaalaiyan attack him?
- It was here, sir - The body is not here
Perhaps rats might have dragged it
How can a rat take the body?
Tigers might have taken the body
How can a dead body be missing?
Even if a dog or wolf has dragged it...
...there might be a torn cloth or a piece of bone left
There is nothing left
Are you sure he is dead?
I brought down him with one hit with the axe
He fell down like a banana tree!
He was motionless! We decided he is dead and left the place
In case he is alive and Kaalaiyan has saved him...
We are finished!
Not only you I will also be caught
The cat will be out of the bag
You are well off But we will get a sack
Nonsense! We don't lose our job alone We will be hanged to death
Along with you he will also be hanged
See to what level they have brought this
- I have brought Karayan! - I bow to you, sir
They have chopped the police officer Sundaram
But I think he would have escaped with deep wounds
So along with our men comb the nearby forest for him
Search all native doctor's house's!
If you meet them kill both of them
- I will take care of the rest - Okay, sir
I have seen plenty of injuries like this
I have applied a herbal paste It will heal soon
Just a moment
I think the landlord's men are coming in search of me
Not only you! They are also after me
If I am alive it is trouble for them
Let us escape from here and go elsewhere
Come, let us go
Come on guys
Please sir, leave me I will do whatever you say
It was a terrific fight in the train
We killed the police officer who was fighting for his life
We tied Kaalaiyan then
When we reached the next station we handed him over to the police
Well done!
Sami Pilllai! Give him Rs 10,000
Thank God, SP is no more Our jobs are safe
Kaalaiyan is also handed over to the police
He can't escape from the murder charge
From this day all my troubles are over
It is new life for me hereafter
Sami Pillai! The next Saturday is my birthday
Make arrangements for a pompous celebration
We will celebrate it in a grand manner
- Do that brother - Okay!
"Sing praising the millionaire!"
"Dance as never before!"
"Let us beat the drums"
"Let us clap rhythmically"
"Let us beat the drums"
"Let us clap rhythmically"
"What is sown only is reaped!"

"What is sown only is reaped!"
"...and you will get answers for your queries!"
"You did wrongs!"
"But you saw evils looking for you!"
"You did wrongs!"
"But you saw evils looking for you!"
"It is the divine justice!"
"Wrongs will be corrected Your story will change"
"Let us beat... Let us beat the drums"
"Let us clap rhythmically"

Well done! You have entertained us by your dance and song
- I present you this - Thank you very much
My gift for all those who have toiled in this village, so long
Money! Money!
Land lord! You made me and my people suffer by your unworthy deeds
Here is a gift for you Take it!
- Kaalaiyan! - Yes, it is me
I have come to avenge you for charging me with murder
What can you do to me? Tie him up!
Arrest them all
I arrest you for the murders you have committed so far
Who is the eye witness for the murders I have committed?
Who will give testimony against me in this place?
I am here!
I was with you all these days, how can I ignore you?
I will tell what happened, when
Sami Pillai!
Can you recognise me?
You might have forgotten
Do you remember Mason Muthaiah Pillai?
I am his last son
To build this palace here you have burned down our house
I am the lone survivor of that tragedy
Damn you! You betrayer
You do what you like I have achieved my goal
Sundara velu, leave him
Leave his hands
"Let us dance, sing and celebrate"
"Let us make merry always"
"Let us dance, sing and celebrate"
"Let us make merry always"
"Normally I am good-tempered!"
"But if it comes to a contest I am a lion!"
