I will repeat an adage that the Indian constitution
proudly claims as its own.
Let hundred guilty be acquitted
but one innocent should not be punished.
Thus we can claim
that our constitution is the most humane in the world.
This is Jyoti Kumar, reporting for Kairali TV, from CBI special court.
The verdict on Razia teacher murder case
which the entire state of Kerala has been waiting for, is finalised.
Mr. Isra Qureshi, who's the sole accused, and a student of Razia
has been acquitted, due to lack of evidence.
The final verdict is out. I won the case.
Yes. The case was quashed due to lack of evidence.
Yes.
Okay.
Mr. Isra Qureshi.
What do you feel about this delayed justice?
See mister, I am innocent.
I've already proven that.
At this point, whom would you like to thank the most?
God, or the court?
No.. I have to thank only Adv. Lal Krishna Viradiyar.
He is the only one I am grateful towards.
Mr. Qureshi.. - Please..
Give me one second. Please..
Hello.
After being accused of raping and murdering his own teacher
he was able to get back to his normal life.
We would like to share his joy with the audience.
Still, the question remains.
If Isra Qureshi is innocent, then who is the real culprit?
Who murdered Razia teacher?
The court and investigating team
should find a solution for this never ending puzzle.
Even amidst a storm or an earthquake
one must not abstain from her prayers.
You were born in Saudi Arabia
and you did your studies at Ajmer. You should know all this.
Hello, Mr. L.K. Where are you?
'Where are you going now?' - To the farmhouse.
You wanted to meet me. Don't you remember?
Tonight, we'll meet at my farm house.
There, I'll throw you an amazing party.
You should come. Please, no excuses.
'I am right behind your car. Just behind you.'
'Will you please stop your car?'
"Hail Lord Shiva."
Hello, sir.
Where do you want to go?
Hotel Taj? Traveller's joy?
Or, do you want to see a Kathak performance by Madhavi Rao?
Tell me, sir. I'll take you anywhere you want.
Now, you're on the peak of fame.
And I am on the peak of joy.
Now tell me, sir. What do you want?
Tell me. - I want your life.
You can take it, master.
I am at your feet.
After completing my degree in law, I'll be your disciple.
I've decided that.
Bless me, Guru.
Do you know what that means?
Who cares about the meaning!
Guru is the representative of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.
He creates, sustains knowledge and destroys ignorance.
You saw that 'Guru', with lustful eyes and raped her.
And you finally killed her!
Guru is equivalent to God, Mr. Isra Qureshi.
My desire is still not satisfied.
Oh, no!
No!
Please, stop!
No..
You've committed a sin by murdering your teacher.
Sinners must die to maintain the cosmic balance.
You are a convict.
You are the one who proved that I'm innocent.
That was Adv. Lal Krishna.
This is Judge Lal Krishna!
What you've done is wrong. So, start praying.
What should I pray!
Lead me from darkness to light.
Lead me from ignorance to truth.
Truth alone will decide your fate, Isra Qureshi.
Truth sentences you to death!
L.K, License to Kill.
I have the authority to kill you.
Keep praying!
Lead me from death to immortality.
Go!
Oh, God!
Madhava, Mahadeva!
"Lead me from ignorance to truth."
"From darkness to light."
"From death to immortality."
"Madhava, Mahadeva."
"To the deity who created this world"
"there's no equal in existence."
"To the deity.."
'The Razia murder case suspect was brutally murdered.'
'Kerala has recently witnessed a rise in crime rate.'
'But in order to combat this chaos, a vigilante has taken birth.'
'We have to find that person.'
'We believe that the death of Isra Qureshi
'is an example of this growing resistance.'
'We need the post-mortem report to clarify the cause of his death.'
'Yes, it seems like he has been stabbed to death.'
'Excuse me, sir. Do you see any possibilities of a murder?'
'This is murder. We have clear evidence. There's no doubt'
What's this?
Why did you polish my shoe?
You didn't have to take that trouble.
There was a blood stain on your shoe.
Sir. - Yes.
Nobody knows where Isra Qureshi went, after leaving his farmhouse.
Not even his servants.
But he had arranged a party there.
Who was the last person he contacted through his phone?
Adv. Lal Krishna.
Post-mortem report shows that his rib cage was smashed.
His heart was also damaged. That's the cause of his death.
It's clearly a murder.
But who could be
the killer!
He was killed on the same day, the verdict came out.
So, someone who was angered by the verdict, was after him.
Sir! - Now, do as I say.
Check for similar incidents.
If you come up with anything, you should produce the records.
Yes, sir.
Didn't Krishna have his breakfast?
He is having fever. - All right.
There's a case in sessions court.
Who will attend the case?
I have a case at the family court.
Which case is he attending today?
The one in which the father molested his own daughter.
Why! Why is he attending such cases?
Lakshmi, we'll stick to the civil cases.
Let George Kora attend the other case.
Is that required?
Krishna has studied the whole case sheet.
It's very interesting. - Is it so?
Daughter.. Father..
Both in the same house.
The daughter is a grown up girl.
Her father, a widower.
The father, in a moment's desperation
molested his own daughter, who resembled her mother.
Yes, buddy. I've won the case.
I am back in Pondicherry.
There's no evidence for anything that I've done.
No one could prove that my wife is indeed my daughter.
Even the DNA test was a failure.
There's nothing I can't manage.
Thanks to our advocate.
I decided to throw him a party.
When I arranged it in Taj hotel, you know what he said!
He asked me to arrange the party in my garage.
That's L.K!
He is very simple.
But a legend in criminology.
What are you doing over there?
Hello.
Hello!
Hello? Shit! Out of coverage area.
David Rajarathnam.
Hello, sir!
Only the two of us will be here in this party.
A third person shouldn't be involved.
Daisy is also coming.
Only her.
Don't you know her? My daughter.
She's not just your daughter anymore.
She's your missus now. Mrs. David Rajarathnam
The wounded soul!
Who's bothered about all that!
I watered the rose plant in my garden.
The flower that it bears is mine. Just mine!
So, let us celebrate!
So, your sin is two years old.
Take it. This is not just a sweet, this is my life.
From now on, I am your servant.
You are like a God to me.
God!
I am God, the ultimate decision maker.
Bible talks about the purity of a father-daughter relationship.
But you haven't read that.
You are supposed to be her mentor.
Instead, you took out your lust on her.
You might do the same with her child as well.
As she is also your own blood.
What are you saying? I don't understand anything.
This is how justice sounds like.
The sound of justice!
I saved you not because you could celebrate your sins.
Daisy cannot call you 'father' anymore.
If her two year old child
doesn't have to call you her 'grandfather'
you should no longer be alive.
Good bye, Lucifer.
"Lead me from ignorance to truth."
"From darkness to light."
"From death to immortality."
'David Rajarathnam committed suicide.'
There's no God greater than a mother, in this universe.
There's no teacher like a father.
There's no point in pleasing the Gods
while ignoring your parents.
Lord Krishna says..
It means..
The malignant will persecute their teachers with knowledge.
Those who persecute their teachers, will be send to 'Kalasutra' hell.
Wouldn't the teacher who persecute students be punished?
My child.. - Krishna.
Someone has come to see you.
Who are you?
I'm here to talk about a case.
You might've heard about it.
Chinthamani murder case.
"Lead me from ignorance to truth."
"From darkness to light."
'CHINTHAMANI KOLACASE'
"there's no equal in existence."
"To the deity who created this world"
"there's no equal in existence."
"To the deity who made this world"
"there's no equal in existence."
"To the deity who made this world"
"there's no equal in existence."
"Here we go!"
"What does it say?"
"Madhava, Mahadeva."
"Can I hear it one more time?"
"Madhava, Mahadeva."
"Get in the groove and sing it out loud."
"Madhava, Mahadeva."
"One, two, three, four.."
"Madhava, Mahadeva."
"Lead me from ignorance to truth"
"From darkness to light."
"From death to immortality."
"Madhava, Mahadeva."
"Look in the shadow and he'll be there."
"Just right behind you."
"Madhava, Mahadeva."
"No one can escape."
"He's always there."
"He's always chanting"
"Madhava, Mahadeva."
"To the deity who created this world"
"there's no equal in existence."
"To the deity who created this world"
"there's no equal in existence."
Did you get father's permission for the case?
Mother, father and guru.
Your life is blessed by them.
You will not go wrong.
Here.
So, what's the case about?
Section 302.
The victim is Chinthamani.
Chinthamani Warrier.
She was a victim of ragging in college.
By senior girls.
She was brutally ragged, and mercilessly killed.
And lots in between the two acts.
The convicts belong to rich NRI families.
Nine rich girls.
Nine spoilt brats!
Like the nine gems.
To become rich during the youth.
Born into a rich family and excessive pride.
Possessing any one of these is a bad omen.
Possession of all can be deadly.
Nine such cannibals.
They're my clients.
Sinners shouldn't be spared.
It must be your destiny to handle this case.
Sinners are cheated by the divine light.
You must obey the cosmic law.
Go, defend those sinners.
If not, someone else will take it up.
And those sinners will be spared.
You must not let that happen.
Krishna, one who kills for pleasure is not human.
It's not a sin to kill the sinner.
There will be loopholes, even if God wrote the charge sheet.
Black hole.
Find it!
Madhava.
Mahadeva.
Section 302, murder. - Yes.
There are nine suspects in total. - Yes.
Are you their parents? - Yes. We are NRIs.
We already bailed them out. - You must defend us.
You should save them from the punishment.
The lawyers who abandoned us were sure about life term sentence.
Our kids made a mistake. The truth is..
We lawyers, aren't interested in knowing the truth.
A policeman can write anything in a charge sheet.
For me, all my clients are innocent.
But only until the judgement day.
I just want to know one thing. - What is it?
Do you have money?
Yes, by God's grace, in plenty.
Just tell us how much you need.
Shame!
You shouldn't let others decide
the price of your children's life, mister..
Haridas. - ...Haridas.
You can decide the price.
50 lakhs. - That's not enough.
One C. - One C?
It's one crore!
The rest, I'll tell you later. Agreed?
Agreed.
Who is the officer in charge of the investigation? - CI Bava.
CI Bava. Done.
My charge sheets are famous for their firepower.
It will scorch the suspects for a long time, won't they?
No lawyer has ever been able to extinguish it.
The evidence collected against the suspects
no matter how trivial it be
I won't leave out even a single evidence.
My charge sheet will be the prosecutor's trump card.
Trump card? - You might've seen the report.
I am not going to play cards in the court.
I need to study this charge sheet of yours.
I'm sure, your house of cards will crumble.
Mark my word.
Listen, confidence is good.
But it shouldn't be in excess.
If it exceeds..
Hello.
He was here.
He just left.
A village known as Kannadi, in Palakkad district.
For Veeramani Warrier
and the deceased Balamani Warrasiar
C. V. Chinthamani Warrier was born.
She was 18 years old. - 'Welcome to Kannadi village.'
She was waiting for her medical entrance exam results.
'Chembakavariyam.'
The house has become silent after Chinthamani's demise.
The silence that remains after an explosion.
She was born years after their marriage, after a lot of offerings.
The Gods blessed them with Chinthamani.
I can see a girl who studies late till night.
And a father, who keeps her company.
He named his dream Chinthamani.
Light Thy lamp..
Light Thy lamp.
Light Thy lamp..
Oh, Goddess, medical entrance results will be declared tomorrow.
But what's the point!
All those rich kids spent so much for coaching alone.
Here's a poor soul, aspiring to become a doctor.
I must be so greedy.
I won't get anything more than a big zero.
Dear Goddess
I just want to be a teacher.
But you know how it is.
Dad won't stop praying to you, until I become a doctor.
My child!
Who is that?
Did you know about the results?
Why are you crying?
What happened? Let it be.
I don't want to study MBBS.
It was such a waste of time.
I don't want to think about it anymore.
You were right. I am unfortunate.
We can't change our fate, can we?
You don't have to worry anymore.
You got through the entrance exam. - Dad?
Hearty congratulations.
No matter how much money I would've to spend
I'll get you the admission for MBBS.
I don't want you to spend a lot for me to become a doctor.
She'll agree.
When Chinthamani was blessed by her favourite Goddess, the Devi
she was ranked 600, out of the 960 seats.
She studied without the aid of tuition or coaching classes.
Brilliant!
A flame, that was about to die.
I heard that those criminals hired a new lawyer.
Let them do whatever they want.
It's absolutely certain, that we will win this case.
Yes.
I am sorry, I didn't get you.
It must be some journalist.
He's here to dig something out.
You must be here for a scoop.
Like flies circling a wound.
What else is left for you to write to defame my daughter?
Get lost, before we throw you out.
Wretched people!
Did you understand what I said?
We should check if her death was cursed.
We should also check her horoscope.
But I don't have her horoscope.
She lived here till she was 18.
You could've prepared the horoscope during that time.
I really don't understand!
Madhava, Mahadeva!
Though Chinthamani secured the 600th rank
her father couldn't get her admitted
in a government Medical College.
They didn't have the merits to achieve that.
Gurukripa Health and Research Park.
An NRI project. A private medical college.
Chinthamani and her father approached the management
when auctions for the last seat was going on. - Okay.
Hey, look. - May God bless you. - Village girl!
Are you feeling nervous?
Scared? - I am all right.
Let's meet the principal. Only one seat is remaining.
Didn't Dr. Sudharsan ask us to attend the counselling? - Yes.
You'll definitely get the seat.
How will we find the principal's room?
There..
What do you want, baby?
Your good name? - Chinthamani.
Wow!
Chinthamani! - Ma'am, where's Dr. Sudharsan's room?
Why do you want to know that? To sleep with him?
What did you call me? Ma'am?
Shall we call you aunty then?
Are you Dr. Sudharsan's wife?
Hey, what rubbish are you saying? She's like your little sister.
She's a new student.
You, being seniors, should be welcoming her.
Okay..
Are you Martin Luther King?
Or are you Abraham Lincoln! - Do you know who that is?
Dad, let's go! - Or Martin Luther King!
Let's go! - Answer me!
What's this?
We should go.
I am sorry.
Sorry.
Hello, Shreya. She's here.
She has landed.
Okay.
Musk deer is coming. - With an old chap.
A3108, merit seat would've been vacant, if it wasn't for her.
It would've gone to the management.
Dad had offered as much as 50 lakhs for that seat.
Your brother will get the admission for sure.
We'll flee this Indian cuckoo back to its nest.
All right?
Come quick. We're already late for the counselling.
Hello, stop. Where are you going?
Hey, did you come to study about human body alphabet?
Answer me. Yes or no!
Didn't you understand my question?
Hey, what the hell are you doing? - Cool down..
It's just a perfume. Student's only.
Bye, Indian cuckoo.
Oh, no!
I feel..
I feel dizzy. - What happened?
What happened to you? - Dad..
What happened! - Dear!
My God, what's wrong with my child!
Dear. - Dear!
Open your eyes, dear.
Open your eyes, please.
Dear, open your eyes.
Dear!
What has happened suddenly!
Case number 300/2004.
The suspects are Shreya Haridas.
Madhavi.
Devi Shah.
Arya.
Thara Shanmughan.
You were their guardian till yesterday.
You shouldn't forget that, Dr. Kim Sudharsan.
Their parents sent them to you, because they believed in you.
Instead of guiding them in the right direction
you revoked them.
Cool down, Mr. Lal Krishna.
You can defend your clients in the court.
Ask your conscience about what they've done.
You won't be able to forgive them, let alone defend them.
Think about the situation.
The way they received her on the very first day was shocking.
It took two hours for her to regain consciousness.
I even had to apologise to her father, on behalf of them.
This institution's goodwill crumbled within a day.
I had to tolerate that too.
Was it meant as a punishment for the Mirchies
that you sent Chinthamani to their hostel?
That was where I went wrong.
I never thought that the girls in hostel America were so violent.
Mom, this is not our home, all right?
You shouldn't be angry with me, okay?
I won't be able to do the routine puja.
I won't be able to do anything.
As you wished, I'll attending my first class tomorrow.
In white coat. Aren't you happy?
Wish me good luck.
Hi, blue lotus.
Chinthamani, are you a thinking bell?
Angel like beauty.
No.. She's Chinthamani, MBBS.
You look like a hydrogen bomb, baby!
Doctor, you're sweating a lot. Any tendency to vomit?
Hey, what happened? Any girl problems?
Leave it. - Hey, Chintha.
Don't hide. Just tell us.
No, there's no problem.
Who's your cupid?
Do you know who's cupid? God of lust.
Is it that guy who came with you? Yuck, that old monk!
Enough, everyone. Let's prescribe medicine for our patient.
There's only one remedy for this village beauty.
Do you know?
Abortion.
Finish her! - Chintha!
Oh, God!
Open the door. Open it, come on.
Open the door. Please leave her alone.
Come on, open it.
Hello. Where are you going? Wait for a second.
How long will she stay here? - Two days.
See, you should throw her out right now.
Bloody Indian chick!
You know, trespassers will be prosecuted.
Mind you.
My child. - No! Leave me alone!
Ma'am, I can't take this anymore. I want to go home.
I want to go back to my home. - Come on, get up.
Don't cry.
It's all right.
They're a bunch of witches.
You should leave. Otherwise, they won't spare you.
But where will you go at this time of the night?
Look at my condition. I am going back home.
I don't want to study here anymore.
It's okay. Don't cry. Wash your face.
Everybody's asleep. Come quick.
We are hot!
We are spicy!
We are the Mirchi Girls!
We are hot!
Please stop. - We are spicy!
Please stop. - We are.. - Stop it..
Please, leave her alone.
Move..
Move aside! Come with me.
Quick.
'Medical college student has gone missing.'
Are you Volga Madassery? - Yes.
Matron. - Who are you?
'America.'
This must be the new batch in America. - Yes.
CI Bava's charge sheet describes the incident
as 'A Black Friday.'
The Mirchi Girls become violent during Fridays.
That will kick-off their weekend activities.
They'll leave the hostel by evening.
They'll spend the weekends in Ooty, Kodaikanal or Bangalore.
A total black out.
The charge sheet says that you had an argument with them
before they left. What was the reason?
When I opened the refrigerator, a bottle fell down and broke.
Bottle? What bottle?
Vodka bottle. I was lucky they didn't kill me for that.
Only the alcoholics know the worth of alcohol.
You're not supposed to break it like that.
Chinthamani said she was going back home, right? - Yes.
With that night's experience
she dropped her studies, and went back home.
She said she was going back home.
But how did she reach the college the next day?
Her passion. That must be it.
That's all.
When she thought about it, she felt that she shouldn't be running away.
She decided that she shouldn't put her father in despair
by dropping out of her studies.
Thus, she slowly stepped
into the last day of her life.
"Revolution, devastation."
"Here we go.. Celebration!"
"Sensation, creation."
"Here we go.. Celebration!"
See this, it's really nice. - Oh, wow!
So nice. - Yeah, I know.
Hey, look. See who's coming!
Hi, Chintha! - Look here.
My sweet girl, come on!
Hey, stop.. - Look at her.
Isn't she pretty! - Smart girl.
Come on.
Hey, Shreya.
She's here, Chinthamani.
Thara, bring her to the wedding chamber.
Okay. - To there?
Yes. We must conduct her marriage today itself.
Shreya, no!
Shreya, this is not good.
Go, get her!
Sorry.
Dr. Shreya is embarrassed to apologise out in the open.
That's why I called you here. Okay?
Oh, God! What just happened!
A senior shouldn't have to go through all that.
I forgot about all that. - But Mirchies haven't forgotten.
Your are a really smart girl, aren't you?
So, you deserve a treat from us. - A stylish treat.
Hey! - Hey. - Let go of me. - Bloody bitch.
Yes!
Let's go. Let's go get her.
Come on, get up!
Come with me.
Let go of me! - Come here.
Let me.. - Come here!
We've decided your wedding. Are you ready?
Miss thinking bell is going to be a missus.
Got it?
Stand straight.
Do you want to see your husband? Do you want to see him?
Take a good look at your groom.
This is Mr. Kattabomman Chettiyar.
Very young.
He's your groom. A prince!
Come on, marry him. Warrier plus Chettiyar.
The best mental harmony.
This is your wedding garland.
Don't worry, Chintha.
Every girl here is married to him.
Come on, babe! - Are you feeling shy?
You're our lovely princess.
Just obey us. - Here.
No! These are deadly sins.
Girls like us shouldn't do such things, even as a joke.
It will.. It will end up as a jinx!
It will retribute.
We are supposed to get married only once.
Marriage isn't a joke.
I can't do this.
Marriage? That's Indian's cheap humour.
Come on, get ready!
Hey, give a kiss to your man.
Do it. - Come on.
Put the garland around his neck.
Come on.
Now you may kiss the groom.
The long kiss!
Please, don't make me do this.
My chest is paining!
Let's go, guys. Go..
Go! - Oh, my God!
My God!
She has passed away, girls!
'Chinthamani found dead.'
Hey, what's your plan?
Have you thought about anything? - I have only one plan.
That is to destroy the dead body.
How's that possible? They'll search for her.
If they complain to the police, they'll come looking for her.
You're unaware of the consequences, Shreya.
The police will search the entire campus and our hostel.
Let them search. So what!
Her body will be invisible, even to the micro lenses.
How's that possible? - Bit by bit.
You mean, a clinical cutting?
Yes. We'll slice her body without shedding a drop of blood
and throw it in the lake.
Don't you remember our anatomy classes?
Losing bone, cut two veins.
'Suspects are missing. They'll soon be arrested.'
'Ragging in medical college. Influential may be involved.'
Search the vicinity.
Come on, search! - Okay.
Seems like no one is here. Come on.
- Move.
Who is that?
It's me, Uchandi, the blind.
I've seen him. He's that blind beggar.
I am blind only when I am begging.
I can see the rest of the time.
Here, take this money and leave.
Money!
Rs. 100 for not bathing. This is good.
You guys can bath now. Uchandi is leaving.
See you tomorrow. - Get lost!
What happened? Was anyone there?
There was a beggar. But he's gone now.
We should finish dissecting, before anyone else comes.
Okay, make it fast!
We should throw surgical waste into the lake, before daybreak.
Come on.
Quick.
We should cut her veins first. Slowly. - Yes.
After she bleeds out completely, scratch!
All right? - Okay.
Here, take. - Give me.
For you. Here. - That's mine.
Here.
Okay, do it. Fine? - Yes.
Sorry, Chinthamani. We're so cruel.
Mirchies are so hot.
Come on. Faster.
Hurry up!
Let's go.
Run.. - Okay.
Okay, stop!
Nobody's here. Come on.
Dispose it there.
Quick..
Oh, damn. It's stuck. - Hey, what happened?
Come quickly. - Just leave it.. - Hurry up.
Come on. - Move, Shreya.
My God!
Sorry, Shreya. I made a mistake.
What happened? - Did anyone see you?
I accidently sent the dead body's photo!
You fool! - Better kill us now! - Oh, God!
It'll spread in our campus.
Everybody will ask us about Chinthamani, you fool.
I'm sorry. - What will we do now?
We should hide.
Let's scoot. We must move to someplace else, immediately.
Come on, quick.
'Chinthamani has been murdered. Her body was found dissected.'
'Ragging in Medical College. Influential may be involved.'
'A father's broken dreams.'
'Chinthamani murder case. Suspects were arrested.'
'The trial has been shifted to fast track special court.'
'Bail granted to the accused.'
'Charge sheet submitted in court, by the prosecution'
Repeat after me.
Pour it into the river.
Take three dips.
Look at him.
They were supposed to get married. He is doing her last rites.
Oh, Lord!
This seems to be the end of our family!
Hey, what's this? - Do I have anyone as my own?
Please, don't talk like this.
My daughter is leaving.
Alone. She's leaving me behind.
Master.
Please don't cry while doing the last rites.
She'll not get salvation. Let her rest in peace.
Let her soul reach the heavens.
Krishna, that's her funeral ritual.
No.
It's the sacrifice of the dreams
a father had for his daughter.
Krishna, we should reject this case.
The one who decides who is guilty of the crime
is neither the lawyer nor the law. It's the judge.
They're just suspects until the court convict them.
But in this case
the nine suspects are born criminals
who had done a diabolic cruelty that shouldn't have happened.
Their hands are stained in Chinthamani's blood, right?
Without doubt. I've never seen
a more convincing charge sheet, ever in my life.
How will we defend them at the court?
You heart will burn with guilt
when you go against Veeramani.
The cruelty those girls showed towards him
the injustice, makes it our duty to avenge Chinthamani.
That path of justice!
The nine wretched girls! They must be the Creator's mistake.
We don't want this case. Leave it!
Lord Yama assures the ultimate justice.
This case might have reached his court.
They might have reached a verdict too.
That's what I said.
No one can save them, not even Manishankar Associates.
I'm leaving.
Madhava, Mahadeva.
Greetings.
Sorry, I didn't get you.
Enemy. I'm your enemy.
Enemy?
I don't have any enemies.
I don't understand!
Don't curse me for what I'll be doing.
Don't hate me.
It's my karma. - Karma?
What are you talking about? - Just tell us who you are.
Defender. Advocate Lal Krishna.
Defence advocate in Chinthamani murder case.
Stop there!
Are you here to get my permission to destroy me in the court?
No, not you.
I might have to eliminate your daughter, in the court.
Please forgive me, if I hurt you.
I'll go to any extent to win the case.
Hey!
You're wrong!
This is the land of the Goddess.
I curse you, making my Goddess a witness.
You won't win, even if you have the power.
The truth will prevail. My daughter will win.
That's right! Chinthamani will win, eventually.
I will win.
Who are you?
Dr. Thara! Daughter of Shanmughan IFS.
Where are your friends?
Mirchies. Nine golden beetles!
What did you say?
Good shot.
I am Adv. Lal Krishna, defence lawyer.
And you're all
my very valuable clients.
Shreya? - Yes?
Anyway, we don't need you advice.
We know how to behave in a court.
You don't have to advise us, on how to dress for a court.
This is Mirchi lifestyle.
Shreya, please! Don't pick a fight.
Many advocates briefed us about the case before you.
But it's of no use!
Mister, we don't care the CBI special court's sentence.
We'll appeal at the high court or even the Supreme court.
We'll escape from this place, these dirty Indians.
Sure!
Look! We're not going to pay you in Indian rupees.
It's American dollars.
We'll influence the Judge and change the verdict of the case.
Adv. Lal Krishna.
You're a dummy, that we need at the court.
That's your only job.
A standing clown.
Total destruction!
Gajalakshmi? - Yes.
Adv. Manishankar?
He's inside. Who are you?
Yes. Please come inside.
Here. - Yes.
Jagannivasan, where did we stop?
Manishankar Associates.
Why do we need any police protection?
Even if the court disapproves, a criminal is a criminal!
Can he live in peace?
No!
Some may commit suicide. It has nothing to do with Krishna.
I'm sure, it's not a suicide.
The criminals whom the whole society wanted to see dead
were brutally murdered.
Whoever the murderer is, he has no belief in the Judiciary.
Who is that psychopath?
You should be careful about this criminal lawyer.
Dishonest job.
It is a crime to protect the criminals.
Isn't he the son of Adv. Ramakrishna Viradiyar?
Yes. How did you know?
You have to start somewhere.
So, I did a small research on his life.
Ramakrishna Viradiyar, who was loved by everyone
had two kids in his wife Parvathi.
Lal Krishna and Gajalakshmi.
Bad luck!
Their house was a haven, until Lal Krishna
witnessed a murder.
Do you understand? Now do it.
Clarify your doubts, if you have any.
Okay, I'll show it once more.
Master!
Oh, no!
The blood splattered on to the young boy's face..
Those red speckles..
He still hasn't recovered from that shock.
He was under treatment for six months.
He still hasn't forgotten that incident
even after all these years, has he?
I didn't get you.
The psychopath I am searching for..
Can't Lal Krishna be the one?
No! What the hell are you saying!
He was the lawyer of those two dead guys.
Yes, sir. Pathetic situation.
His father, like his teacher, was also brutally murdered.
Such a person can't justify criminals.
It's a psychological fact, and it's true.
He defended, and successfully acquitted
seven clients belonging to Manishankar associates.
All seven of them are dead now.
Each one of them committed suicide.
That is his modus operandi, his evil vein.
A saviour and a punisher at the same time.
It is the most horrible situation in this world.
Rather than being his step father, try to observe him as a stranger.
Otherwise, I'll be forced to call your love
as culpable silence.
I'll have to record it in the charge sheet as well.
Damn! - Hey!
Asshole, are you blind! - Dear, don't pick a fight.
This is a public road, master.
This is not a private road owned by his mom.
What the.. - Shucks!
Did someone call me? - No, no one called you.
Yes, you did.
I heard it clearly.
Someone abused my mother.
Someone spineless.
Asshole, my mom..
Please hold it for me.
When you drove rash..
I may even kill you! That's me, Ayyappan.
Your daughter has been dead for long.
But you're still sniffing the trail, with your mates.
If any one of you dares to come beneath my boot
I won't take it off your chest, till the twelfth of never.
Do you understand? - Please let go of him.
Please take your legs off him.
Oh, God!
So, you know to beg for mercy, can't you?
Long back, someone like you
tried a lot to get his son back.
What did he achieve?
A room in Ernakulum General Hospital.
I'll make a path, not to my mom's home, but to your graves.
I make the decisions around here.
Do you understand, Mr. Glasses?
As if he owns the road!
Hey, old man.
Don't waste your time, just change the testimony.
What's your price?
I'll get you as much as you want.
It's from the NRI vault. It's infinite.
Then you should marry someone new.
That too, an elegant teacher.
And make one more Chinthamani.
I gave you my opinion.
Okay, bye.
Master, we should be careful.
There's someone behind him.
Probably the NRI's.
Looks like he is going to turn the case on its head.
Ayyappan is here.
Greetings.
I'm ready. Tell me, what do you want me to do?
I'm happy to help those who are ready to pay me.
This daily torture in the name of interrogation must be stopped.
This is not America, but India.
I'm sorry. Can't do it.
I read the bail order.
That's the main condition for the bail.
The suspects should appear daily before the investigating officer.
But it doesn't prevent the investigating officer
from appearing before the suspects.
Does it? - No. - No, it doesn't.
Inside? - They're signing.
Okay.
What was that?
He is a big fan of the CBI movies.
Shreya Haridas. Please sign here.
Pavithran, listen. - Sir?
You should not get confused about their identities.
They dared to kill a human being.
It won't be difficult for them to switch identities.
He'll be keeping track of you. He's the new SHO.
Just look at them!
Who are you?
I am Ayyappadas.
Also known as Plachimada Ayyappan.
Oh, dear!
What do you want?
This is my joining order.
This is your transfer order.
Wow! - Yes..
DGP ordered me to give this directly to you.
Even though the protocol gives me 24 hours
I have to take charge in an hour, according to the special order.
Hey, you won't have to worry about anything.
Chinthamani murder investigation has been completed.
And the trial has started.
You just have to visit the court as a witness.
Hi. - Hi..
I'm Circle Inspector Ayyappan.
I'm better known for my bribing habits.
Among you, who is IG Nazar Hussain's in-law?
I'm the one. - You deserve my salute.
From tomorrow, you won't have to come to the station.
I'll come to you to get the register signed.
I'm the circle inspector of this circle.
You may leave now.
Okay. - Bye..
See you. - Bye.. - Okay.
Oh, dear! - Thank you.
You didn't say anything.
Sir, your role is finished!
So, aren't you leaving? - I am.
Sir..
Better buy a bottle of water.
You'll have to sweat it out at the court.
I won't have to.
Have you heard of Kannayi?
Isn't that a type of rice from Palakkad?
You're wrong. It's a dynamite from Thrissur.
Prosecutor comrade Kannayiram.
You'll have to order water by gallons.
As you and your clients are going to sweat a lot in the court!
Gosh!
Haven't you heard of the latest development?
Manishankar Associates will be representing the girls.
They were behind Isra Qureshi 's acquittal.
They may not be as good as the prosecutor
but they'll do much better than him, at the court.
And they'll be free in no time.
Please.
Gosh!
Don't get shocked, Mr. Soolapani Warrier.
I'm not here as an advocate.
Chinthamani's was an unnatural death.
That too, murder.
The last rites should be accurate.
We must conduct 'Thilothakam' ritual.
We must help the soul to reach heavens.
You shouldn't waste any more time.
But we have to know her star sign. Don't we?
We have to.
We have to!
Now who's here?
Whose car is this?
It's quite strange. - Who could it be?
I don't know.
So, you're here. - What?
Who are you?
Dear Lord! - What's this?
You are hot. But no decency at all.
Who are you? What the hell are you doing here?
Hey, cool down, dear.
I'm Adv. Pattammal.
Lal Krishna's associate. Got it?
Listen carefully.
Don't try to mess with me.
Just obey me.
I'll finish you off.
Okay?
No! We'll do whatever we want.
What the hell? I'll give you a tight slap.
What?
What are you staring at?
What is it?
A bunch of losers!
Didn't you have enough, even after killing that poor girl?
Don't take it out on me.
Hey lady, you're just our advocate.
Yes, I'm devil's advocate.
I know how to behave with devils.
If you're hot, I'm red hot.
Do you understand?
Bite me, and you'll feel the heat.
In your nine holy holes!
Listen.
You can't go out of the police station's limit.
Don't you know that? Idiots.
You got bail only on that condition.
Outside the station's jurisdiction, any policeman can arrest you.
Do you understand?
Your bail will be cancelled immediately.
Got me?
You bitches!
What? What are you staring at?
From now on, I'm going to stay here.
Come on, open the door!
Come on, open the door.
Yes.. Okay..
Bring my luggage.
Greetings.
Today, the prosecution's argument will come to a close
in the infamous Chinthamani murder case.
Special prosecutor Adv. Kannayi Parameswaran
will cross-question witness number seven
Dr. Kim Sudharsan, principal of Gurukripa Health and Research Park.
Along with that..
Please move.
Move.
Sir..
Excuse me, sir.
Do you think the principal will switch sides in the trial?
Camera may belong to the party.
But the teeth is yours.
Who taught you this kind of keyhole journalism? Bloody..
Is prosecution witness CW7, Kim Sudharsan present?
The evidence I shall produce, shall be the truth.
Aren't you the executor of Gurukripa institute?
No, I'm just the principal.
The chairman and members of the trust are NRIs.
Okay.
Gurukripa self-financing medical college student's
are sons and daughters of the elite NRIs.
How did Chinthamani, an extremely poor girl
who lives on charity
get admitted to your college?
She got admitted in the merit seat.
So, we can't take capitation fee from her.
Only the government decided fee can be charged. - Okay.
Your care is reflected only in the fee.
Not in culture.
Okay.
What was the highest bid for Chinthamani's seat?
50 lakhs.
Okay.
Was it offered by Shreya Haridas's father?
Yes.
So, it's quite natural for Shreya Haridas
to develop a grudge towards Chinthamani.
Probably.
Yes.
Your Honour
please note the point.
Ragging, that too mental torture.
Physical outrage without mercy.
Those suspects have been accused
of cruel ragging even before, haven't they?
No.
I have the list of victims, Dr. Kim Sudharsan.
No written complaints were filed against them.
Even though there were no written complaints
you've received a few verbal ones.
Isn't it right?
It is okay to care for your students.
But this is not the right moment to express it.
Dr. Kim Sudharsan
you have the right to remain silent.
This right of yours, this silence
is an insult towards a father, Veeramani Warrier.
A great educator like you should realise that.
A promising bright student
was wiped off the face of earth by them.
It is clear that Chinthamani was not given a chance
even to defend herself
while being brutally murdered.
Your Honour
the verdict of this case should be a lesson to the society.
The believers of judiciary and rule of law expects that.
By reminding that fact, the prosecution rests its case.
That's all, Your Honour.
Enough. I'm satisfied.
Advocate just destroyed them.
The other guy won't be able to do a thing.
Greetings. - Greetings.
Prosecution's argument is over. - He requested death penalty.
Who is the prosecutor?
Comrade Adv. Kannayi Parameswaran.
The government appointed him as per Veeramani Warrier's request
as special prosecutor.
An arrogant commie, who gets worked up about nothing.
He's the defence attorney. - Okay..
Hello, I'm Kannayi Parameswaran.
Special prosecutor for Chinthamani murder case.
Nice to meet you, Mr. Kannayi.
Yeah, right!
On our first ever meeting
you're going downstairs, while I'm going up.
A great sign.
So, your profession is not the only thing that you're good at.
You are good at astrology as well.
Superstitious?
Only when it comes to God.
May I do a reading? - Okay.
Your compassion is not so subtle.
Hence I doubt it.
Your name?
Lal Krishna.
Lal Krishna Viradiyar.
Lal Krishna!
Lal means red. - Yes. - Represents communism.
Krishna is a God. Both doesn't go together.
Mr. Krishna will sweat it out.
Mr. CI.
Why did you call me?
A line in your charge sheet doesn't sync with the others.
After escaping from Hostel America
where was Chinthamani, the entire night?
Did you investigate?
You'll be answerable.
Find an answer that fits the narrative.
Never argue with a lawyer.
Or with the Grim Reaper. Got it?
Yeah, right! Come on.
We must be thoroughly informed about the evidences in court.
Okay? - Okay, sir.
'Dear friends.'
'The person standing in front of you is blind by birth.'
'This poor soul resides in Mayappadi, Kasaragod district.'
'The abuse he faced from his alcoholic, drug addicted father'
'is the cause of his blindness.'
'The good-hearted ones who believe in charity'
'should come forward to help him out.'
'By, Krishna Bhatt. Mayappadi Taluk Officer.'
Milord, this is the certificate proving Uchandi's blindness
issued by Mayappadi taluk officer.
This earns me my food.
I'll distribute this at public places.
We won't have to say a thing. It's the taluk officer's letter.
Which taluk officer? - M-Mayappadi.
Even the Kerala government isn't aware of a taluk by that name.
Sir, I printed it myself.
I can use it in other places as well.
I have to make my ends meet.
Definitely. that too, without moving a muscle.
Uchandi, how long have you been doing this?
My ancestors were beggars.
Since I was born, I've been doing the same.
How long have you been acting blind? That's the question.
A blind beggar earns a lot more sympathy.
From my childhood itself, father taught me to act blind.
Blind by day, lowlife by night.
Yes, that's what I love about nights.
Your nights, my day. - Okay.
Do you usually bathe at Palapully lake?
No.
Y-Yes.
Oh.
According to your statement, on the day of the incident
while bathing, you saw my clients getting off their car.
Is it true?
I swear on Lord Murugan, I saw them.
When I was bathing, they..
They came to bathe in the lake.
They even asked me to go away.
That girl gave me Rs. 100.
I saw them drag that girl out of their car.
The next day, I came to know of the murder.
Without wasting a moment, I informed the police about them.
You've been ranting that you saw something.
How did you see that?
I-I saw that.
Aren't you blind? - Yes.
N-No.
I'm not blind, sir.
I've been lying about my eyesight, all my life.
I can see, sir.
Milord
the witness has declared himself a liar and a crook.
For 25 years, he kept repeating the lie
to hundreds, on a daily basis.
And he is brought in as a witness.
A witness who has lied to the state.
A crook who dared to forge fake official documents.
Objection, Your Honour.
His testimony and his conduct shouldn't be compared.
Milord.
Witness, the person who testifies.
Archaically, wit means knowledge.
A witness should have knowledge.
An eyewitness
should see or know about an incident by personal presence.
That's the modern definition of a witness.
A real witness should be a complete witness.
Noble witness.
He should be ideal. He should be truthful.
He should be able to convince the court.
But he is ignoble!
It has been proved that he is a liar
and he is ready to do anything for money.
And his testimony is being presented
as the trump card against the accused.
Untrustworthy witness.
Milord, Uchandi, the false witness
should be declared untrustworthy.
This is my humble request.
Untrustworthy witness.
I had asked you to remove him from the witness list.
Did you listen to me? No, you didn't.
We should be thankful that it didn't go much worse.
Uchandi!
His name reeks of bad luck.
But he witnessed it.
Who cares about a liar's testimony?
Playing it fair is of no use.
Bava, if we had used some fisherman instead of him
we would've already won the case.
We may have to play dirty to prove the truth.
Oh, yes. You're next in line.
Haven't you studied everything?
Be careful.
Viradiyar will come at you out of nowhere.
He's an alpha. And he has that witch by his side.
Chinthamani murder case will go to the dogs.
Sir, this.. - Hey, man.
Yes? - Advice me on a few questions that he might ask.
Come on, sir. - Is it this one? - Okay.
If it is so..
Sessions case number 300/2004.
Is investigation officer Circle Inspector Bava present?
Thank you, Mr. Bava.
Please cooperate with us.
That's my duty.
How long have you been in service? - For 23 years.
Good. That's enough.
Do you use third degree torture on the accused?
Sometimes.
Does that mean that you do so when you feel the urge?
Answer me, mister.
No. A culprit never confesses the crime on his own.
In such circumstances we use third degree.
Doesn't that mean you force them to confess
Mr. Circle Inspector?
Please. Note it, Milord.
The local police took charge of this case
based on a missing persons complaint, didn't they?
Yes.
Who registered the complaint?
Veeramani Warrier.
At first, a man missing case was filed.
In our investigation, we came to know
that Chinthamani was last spotted with them.
The pictures sent from their cell phone.
The severed hand obtained from the river bank.
When our investigation tracked it back to Chinthamani
we concluded that Chinthamani was indeed murdered.
Thus, you changed Chinthamani missing case
to Chinthamani murder case.
How did you confirm the hand was indeed Chinthamani's?
There was a tattoo mark on Chinthamani's hand.
It was identified by her father.
Deoxyribonucleic acid.
Have you heard of it? - Yes. DNA.
Okay. Was a DNA test conducted in this case?
Yes. As per the honourable court's forwarding note
it was referred to the National Forensic Laboratory.
Chinthamani's severed hand.
A unit collected from that hand..
A cell.
There'll be 23 pairs of chromosomes in that cell.
Half of it from her father, Mr. Veeramani.
The other half from her mother, Balamani.
Isn't it right?
Honourable court can verify the results.
Only the court is entitled to verify that result
Mr. Bava.
Milord
only through the internal mechanisms of judiciary
can a culprit or an innocent be identified.
Upholding the Indian constitution
the DNA test report sent directly to the court
from the forensic laboratory
should be thoroughly scrutinized.
This is my humble request.
Yes.
Please.
As per National Forensic Laboratory director's report
in case number 300/2004
the result of DNA finger print examination
is negative.
The forensic scientist attests to this result.
I hope the court has no doubt regarding the fact
that the severed arm is not that of Chinthamani's.
I can assure you, Chinthamani is not dead!
Some abandoned severed hand.
Just because the name Chinthamani was tattooed on it
does it become conclusive evidence to Chinthamani's demise?
How did CI Bava conclude that?
I know, this won't be an easy question for you.
You might have seen charge sheets with huge firepower.
You must expect burning questions in this court.
Be prepared for that.
And don't act smart!
That's defending. - Yes.
I have always been unlucky.
Advocate, will we lose this case?
Is court witness number four
Chembakavariyam Veeramani Warrier present?
Master, inside the witness box
you shouldn't be the father, that you are.
You should be a socially conscious citizen.
Sessions case 300/2004.
Is court witness number four
Chembakavariyam Veeramani Warrier present?
Chembakavariyam Veeramani Warrier, from Kannadi panchayat.
You were a government servant.
Yes, I was a LP school teacher.
For someone, who was an LP school teacher
wasn't the wish to make your daughter a doctor
a kind of overambition?
No.
Acquiring knowledge is a citizen's fundamental right.
If you label a common man's rights and dreams
as overambition
it becomes easier for you to destroy us.
I meant the privileged, powerful ones.
You are a fan of people's revolution, aren't you?
No.
Are you a believer?
By birth, I've been a servant to the temple.
That doesn't mean you're a believer.
This land has seen
its share of revolutionaries from the priestly class.
Answer me. Aren't you a practising, stern believer?
You must tell the truth and nothing but the truth.
You'll be held responsible for each word that comes out of your mouth.
Come on, tell us about Chinthamani's star sign.
Mr. Veeramani, who conducts astrology classes at his home
would've surely written her birth chart.
I haven't written it.
Surprising! Really surprising!
Why didn't you write it?
Do you remember her date and time of birth?
No. - Milord.
He is a firm believer.
A theologian, to be precise.
A master astrologer.
But he doesn't know about his daughter's birth.
He hasn't written her birth chart either.
It brings a lot of questions to our mind.
You are answerable to such questions.
It's something personal.
Arrogance.
I accuse you of arrogance and sexual perversion.
Dare to rebut?
Show some respect.
No, I won't say that.
But show some compassion.
Objection, Your Honour.
He is not just a father.
He is a teacher too.
Defence lawyers should be prevented
from asking such vulgar queries.
I humbly request the honourable court.
Objection overruled.
Thank you, Milord.
Mr. Veeramani
this is a court.
You must give clear answers to our queries.
I didn't get the question.
I accuse you of hiding
your character, akin to Vatsyayana, behind an image of Valmiki.
Can you deny that?
That's the essence of the question.
You demon!
No!
Your state of power doesn't give you the right to insult me.
Your wife suffered a spinal injury from the Mutiara bus accident.
Isn't it right? - Yes.
Till her very end, she was paralysed.
She left me even before my daughter.
Milord
in this newspaper, there's a news about a 1984 bus accident.
Mutiara bus accident.
14 deaths. 32 in critical condition.
Among the injured, there's a familiar name.
Veeramani Warrier's wife Balamani Warrasiar.
According to the news, she was critically injured
and was admitted at Kozhikode Medical College.
Just a vegetative existence.
Paralysed.
'Mutiara Bus accident. 14 dead, 32 in critical condition.'
Objection, Your Honour.
The defence attorney is trying to shift the focus
and thereby trying to save the accused.
What's the connection between
an old bus accident and Chinthamani murder case?
I can't see any.
One may have a thousand eyes and still be blind.
It's an acquired talent, Mr. Kannayi.
Objection overruled.
Thank you, Milord.
Mr. Veeramani
Mutiara bus accident happened in 1984.
It has been 20 years since then.
Right?
According to Chinthamani's records, she was born in 1986.
That means
Balamani Warrasiar gave birth when she had a spinal injury.
Am I right?
After suffering the spinal injury, her uterus was removed.
Gynaecology professor Fatima Bheevi attests to the fact.
Milord
this is what we call a divine birth.
Balamani gave birth to her daughter even without a uterus.
Mr. Veeramani, the acclaimed teacher, should confirm it for us.
My dear daughter
she was adopted.
Oh, God! Adopted!
So, Chinthamani is an adopted daughter.
Whom did you adopt her from?
I don't know!
I don't know anything about her.
A Tamil lady
who roamed the streets to make her living.
She had a toddler with her..
I didn't tell anyone.
I didn't want to.
I didn't feel the need.
For us
that little girl
was God's gift.
Chinthamani was our world.
She was like a daughter to us.
A daughter who I gave birth to..
Our child!
Chinthamani..
Chinthamani
she was our daughter.
She was my Balamani's daughter.
'Was' is the keyword.
Well, she is not.
She is not your blood. She is no one to you.
You knew that clearly.
She grew. Her body grew.
Her baby teeth got replaced.
Her body showed signs of change.
The step-dad's affection was replaced by lust.
Incestuous fathers are no longer a thing of the myths.
They're living around us, wearing masks of decency.
Courts might be familiar with such cases.
Sometimes, the only option before daughters will be suicide.
Milord
Chinthamani, the girl who is alleged to be murdered
is not his daughter.
Hence, I suspect his involvement in her disappearance.
That's all for now.
You will never understand a father's pain.
I want justice!
My daughter was murdered.
That's the truth.
That's the truth!
It's not the truth..
In a court, it's not the truth
but the crime, that must to be proved.
Court is no place for your melodrama.
'Let justice be done though the heavens fall.'
Victim is not the only one entitled to justice.
It is a fundamental right for any of the accused.
It's a fundamental right.
The jealousy that the unprivileged harbour towards the privileged.
It has prevailed, since the beginning of time.
They don't miss any chance to bring down the privileged.
Chinthamani murder case is such a conspiracy.
This case, built on a bunch of half-truths and whole lies
may appeal to the emotions of a common man.
But what's the scientific base to support this case?
On the basis of lack of primary evidence
this case must be quashed. This is my humble request.
That's all, Milord.
Mr. Prosecutor
do you have anything to add?
This case won't go away so easily.
Milord
the situation demands
the questioning of convict number three, Ms. Thara Shanmughan.
The prosecutor humbly requests
the honourable court to grant consent for the same.
Objection, Milord.
Law doesn't allow the questioning of accused
by the prosecution.
Objection sustained.
Convict number three
Thara Shanmughan needs to be crossed.
May the court grant permission for the same?
Yes, proceed. - Thank you, Milord.
Chinthamani was not my daughter.
I admit that. But what's the significance?
I am the one who raised her.
Doesn't that mean anything before the law?
You shouldn't have hidden the issue of adoption from us.
Now, it feels like I've been digging my own grave.
Master, did the Gods turn against us?
No.
There is proof for her murder.
Isn't it right, advocate?
Accused number three, Thara Shanmughan.
Pictures of Chinthamani's corpse are there in her cell phone.
That's enough for us.
Be brave.
Sessions case number 300/2004.
Is Thara Shanmughan present?
Thara Shanmughan.
From Florida, America.
Air taxi operator Mr. Shanmughan's only daughter.
Born and brought up in Florida.
Is your number still the same?
Are you still using the number, 9895010890?
I lost that cell phone.
Nokia 6600. Isn't this the phone?
Yes.
How many cell phones do you have?
T-Thirty.
Number of connections? - Three.
The vehicle you use to commute to your college?
Toyota Innova. - Okay.
Milord
her luxurious life style is not a crime.
You're a good spectator.
A cyclopean eye flash above every sight.
A third eye.
Your craving to capture every moment in life
it makes you a camera maniac.
Not the sense of seeing.
It's a visual ecstasy.
Isn't it? - Objection, Your Honour.
Objection sustained. - Thank you, Your Honour.
She captured blood-curdling, spine-chilling images
and dared to spread it, all over the world.
Defender trivialised this cruelty as camera mania.
Even after the rigor mortis had set in, she captured her corpse.
That visual sense shouldn't be trivialised as visual ecstasy.
It is visual perversion.
You're cunning.
The savagery in feminity, it could be named
Thara Shanmughan.
You should read the 348 pages of charge sheet carefully.
After running away from the hostel
Chinthamani went back to the classes, the next day.
Chinthamani was not ready to give up so easily.
That was the first day of the new batch.
Surprised to find her at the college
the suspects conspired inside the canteen.
Thara Shanmughan took Chinthamani
to the anatomy hall, from the first hour class.
Sorry.
Seems like my friend hasn't studied the charge sheet thoroughly.
He has a point there. - Yes.
Thank you, Mr. Prosecutor.
Milord
A completely changed Chinthamani has allegedly attended classes
the very next day.
On that day, during the first hour of the first semester
Dr. Kim Sudharsan delivered a welcome speech to the newcomers.
This CD contains those pictures.
That verbal bombing lasted one and a half hours.
The number of listeners from the new batch was 53.
But Chinthamani was not among them.
Investigative officer's visual amnesia.
Hallucination.
Ms. Thara Shanmughan, where did you lose your cell phone?
At the hostel.
When?
The next day, after Chinthamani was sent out from the hostel.
But how?
But..
What happened to you?
N-Nothing.
Did Chinthamani come back?
She didn't.
Doesn't she have to go to college?
Silly girl.
If you see her again
tell her that we don't have any issues with her living here.
Do you understand? - Yes.
When we come back, she must be here. Okay?
What happened?
I think I lost my phone at the hostel.
Very good. Your eardrum will get much needed rest.
Thara, go fast.
We have to visit the hospital. - Don't get tensed.
It might be there in our hostel.
Come on, let's go.
So, you came to know of the phone on your way to college, didn't you?
Yes.
Did you find it, when you came back from college?
No, I couldn't find it in my room.
Didn't you ask Ms. Volga? - She didn't see it either.
As we were planning to go to Kodaikanal
I took another phone with me.
Thara didn't shoot the ragging in the anatomy hall.
That means
the cell phone, submitted here, was not with Thara at that time.
Milord
witness number five.
Volga Madassery needs to be crossed in front of the court.
Shanmughan!
A poor NRI.
Have you already forgotten me? - You..
Who are you? What do you want?
What matters to me is my daughter's life.
I'll teach you your testimony.
If you're not ready to testify that..
I'll finish you off, in that court itself.
If my daughter is a criminal, I am a notorious rascal.
Hostel America's matron, Ms. Volga Madassery Kuttikkanam.
Yes.
When did you meet Chinthamani for the last time?
That night
I was the one who rescued her from the hostel.
Where did Chinthamani go?
She went back home.
Why are you so sure about that?
Come on, tell me!
She told me that she will go home, by the last bus
and she will reach home by next morning.
Lie!
That's a lie!
I had asked her to call me, when she got back home.
Did she call you? - Yes, she called me.
She said she won't come back and cried a lot. Poor girl.
That's a point!
Milord
what we heard now, was a prosecution witness's testimony.
Chinthamani went back home.
It takes seven and a half hours to travel from Madukkarai to Kannadi.
How hard she tries, she won't get back to college by morning.
How did Chinthamani, who wasn't even there
get bullied by my clients?
The prosecutor has a lot of explaining to do.
I'm sure you can't.
Milord
all the witnesses and all the evidences of this case
has turned against the prosecution's argument.
Fabricated evidences
false witnesses
and exaggerated testimonies.
A detective fiction in 348 pages!
A man missing case
was blown out of all proportions. Who was behind it?
That's another crime!
As all the evidence against the accused was proved wrong
I humbly request the court to quash Chinthamani murder case.
That's all, My Lord.
Thank God.
Do you have anything to add, Mr. Prosecutor?
No.
The verdict will be announced on 12th.
Oh, dear.. - Light Thy lamp.
...your father failed you.
The law didn't give you justice.
A guy with fabricated evidence.. A crook..
He appeared..
You said you'll go to any extent to win this case.
I haven't forgotten that.
Law, evidence and witnesses.
You used everything to your advantage.
My curse will follow you forever.
Every move you used to defeat the truth
will turn against you.
You will lose.
You will lose!
No, I will win!
Chinthamani's murder will be avenged!
I will go to any extent to ensure that.
Oh, my God! - Yay..
I can't believe it!
Come on, girls.
Yeah, let's celebrate.
Great..
Come on in.
Girls, give it a go.
Hello.
I'm Jagannivasan.
I've heard a lot about you.
ASP Jagannivasan. Rural.
Yes.
I'm sorry to meet a criminal genius like you
in the middle of the road.
I was expecting an intellectual criminal.
But I was lucky enough to meet an intellectual criminal lawyer.
Isn't that a good sign?
The final judgement is near.
I have no doubt, you'll win the case.
As per God's will.
God didn't appear before the court.
Lal Krishna did.
All the nine suspects will be acquitted.
I have heard of this usage
to commit a murder, get Adv. Alloor to appear for you.
But it's time to change it.
If you have Adv. Lal Krishna by your side
you are free to commit murder.
L.K will save you.
L.K.
License to kill?
I'm just doing my duty.
That's all. - Okay.
But the ones you save don't live for long.
That's their fate.
I just don't care. - Have you never enquired?
I try to stay away from evil.
That means your clients are evil.
A serial killer who believes in exterminating all evil
is tailing the clients you save.
And I'm tailing him.
Wish you all the best. - Thank you.
Anyway
Madukkarai will soon see nine murders.
I can only save them from the law.
Cosmic law.
No one can save anyone from that.
We don't care whether the murderer is a man or even God himself.
Even if it is cosmic law
it will have to accept defeat in Madukkarai.
Good luck.
Fate. - Yes..
Yes!
Sir!
But..
Hey. - Yes?
Nine murders will happen in your circle. Be careful.
Lord Ayyappan! Where will it happen?
America.
Sir, it is under Bush's power.
I'm not in charge there. It's FBI.
New American Hostel, Madukkarai.
God! No, sir!
Its residents are important to me. Who is going to kill them?
Hostel should be under police protection.
No one should be allowed to meet the suspects.
Especially Adv. Lal Krishna. - Yes, sir.
Do you understand? - Can't they meet their own lawyer?
No more questions. Just follow my instructions.
Sir!
Please!
Open this!
Volga
I can see it on your face.
The things you hid, all this while.
Mental agony.
Please, don't hurt me.
I swear, I don't know anything.
That's a lie.
Denying a crime
is much worse than the crime itself.
You're trapped, Volga.
This is too much.
You're threatening me.
I don't know anything, I don't have anything to say either.
I don't know what happened to Chinthamani.
You know everything!
Don't you know him?
This blind guy
who would attest to anything in the court for money.
But now, he'll only speak the truth.
I joined him, ma'am.
Just tell him the truth.
Did you see Ms. Volga that night, at Palapully lake?
Yes, I saw her. I saw her with my own eyes.
That's a lie. He's lying.
You.. - No!
No.
He's a noble eyewitness.
Even if he is lying
these cameras won't lie, Volga.
With Thara Shanmughan's mobile camera
these photos of Chinthamani's dead body were taken.
17 snaps.
The most important evidence presented against the suspects.
Look!
Can't you see your face in that frame?
This is how
the murdered
traps the murderer.
The unnoticed frame.
The frame with God's touch.
This is the truth. The whole truth!
Come on, speak up.
That night, where did you take Chinthamani?
Come on.
She's adamant to go home.
What can I do, if she refuses to listen to me?
Ma'am.
Think it through.
What you're abandoning is a medical college seat.
You don't understand.. - No.
I don't want to study here.
Why am I being targeted?
Are you planning to go alone? No..
I'll take you to the bus stop in my car.
Come on.
Come on out.
Whose house is this? - I'll tell you. Come on.
No. I want to go home.
Please take me to the bus stand.
I'll ask my dad to pick me up.
Are you planning to go on your own?
It's not your dad, but the guy whom we are going to meet
who can help you with this.
Don't be such a coward.
Come on, dear. Come on.
Don't be afraid. Come on.
'Doctor Kim Sudharsan.'
Come in.
I took her to Principal Dr. Kim Sudharsan.
Who asked you to?
Doctor himself requested it.
When?
When he called me to request Chinthamani's accommodation
he also asked me
to take her to him, at night.
After taking Chinthamani to his home
I went back to the hostel, that night itself.
Doctor phoned me the next morning.
Before asking him about the details
the girls came downstairs, to go to their classes.
When I saw them, I hung-up the call.
After they left
I heard a phone ringing, from the room upstairs.
When I checked their room
I realised that it was Thara Shanmughan's.
When I checked the phone, I got shocked.
Chinthamani's face was its wallpaper.
Suddenly, doctor called me.
He asked me to get there immediately.
While going to the doctor's, I took that phone with me.
'Chinthamani'
Okay. Are you here?
Volga. - Sir?
You have to secure this body for the entire day.
And you have to dump it in the Palapully lake.
And we didn't kill Chinthamani.
Mirchies.
Because of their jealousy and enmity
they killed her.
I'll teach you the complete story.
Oh, yes.
I have to attend the new batch's welcoming ceremony.
We have to create
evidence required to point fingers at the Mirchies.
I'll never forget those who help me in times of need.
Don't you know that, Volga?
To forge evidence against Mirchi Girls
we decided to capture
images of the dead body using Thara's phone.
This is for you.
You haven't seen a thing. Do you understand?
Yes, sir. - Okay.
After two days, report what I taught you to the police.
Okay? - I will.
You may go.
Thank God!
Please don't hurt me!
Please.
Leave me alone..
Please!
Please spare me.
Mother, father and teacher, all are akin to God.
Mother will show you the father.
Father will show you the teacher.
And the teacher will enlighten their students with God.
What did you enlighten your student, Chinthamani, with?
Death!
I think someone fooled you.
No!
That night, Volga the pimp
presented you with Chinthamani.
What happened next?
Speak up!
Chinthamani!
It means a wish-fulfilling jewel.
Did you think about what I said?
Dear Lord, what will I do?
Dear, you didn't answer me.
I have to go. - Then?
I'll do what my father asks me to.
That poor guy.
What can he do against me?
Maybe you'll complain to the police.
That you've been ragged.
It will lead to court battles.
You'll win that battle and you'll return to college.
To the seat, worth 50 lakhs. Right?
I can't let that happen.
You may go.
But you shouldn't come back.
Understood? - What about the things you told me and my father?
I'll squeeze out every dime for every donation I take.
I'll pay a few lakhs to you too.
You'll have to sign a no objection agreement.
No! This is cheating.
I'll take you to court.
So, you're going to court, aren't you?
No!
You must learn that a student and a ward are one.
If you don't know that, you're not a good teacher.
A teacher, who is supposed to look his students in the eye
shouldn't lower his gaze to her chest.
It pollutes the purity of this land.
You dared to pollute your own student.
Is that a guru's grace?
You're not a good teacher!
You're not a good soul!
Search everywhere.
Block the paths.
Please take a seat, sir.
Who is that?
L.K!
What.. What are you doing?
Objection.
That question is irrelevant.
Mr. Kannayi.
Chinthamani's murderers have already been revealed
by Dr. Kim Sudharsan.
No! This is cheating.
I'll take you to court.
So, you're going to court, aren't you?
If you have any legal doubts, feel free to ask me.
I will help you out.
I will clear your doubts.
Sudharsan
is she the girl, who joined in the merit seat?
Yes, sir.
C. V. Chinthamani. - Okay!
Chee Vee Chinkaramani!
You bloody bitch!
You have to study in my college itself!
Isn't it, you bloody bitch!
Come on.
Come on, sweetie. Come on.
Your cheeks are blood red.
You can almost wipe the blood off.
Wow!
A traditional girl, who should be offering garlands to God
and reading Ramayana as a daily offering.
Human incarnation of knowledge.
A girl who should take a vow of chastity
and exist on the temple offerings alone.
Dear, how will you learn about Amyloidosis
or about Glaucoma, at the medical college?
Can she, Sudharsan? - No.
This is not meant for someone who cares about purity.
This is meant for the impure.
You should tell your father
that you're not interested in this course.
Will you tell him? - No.
I knew you wouldn't budge.
You long for revenge.
She's poisonous. You shouldn't hurt her.
Instead, you should finish her off.
You haven't seen the real ragging, have you?
Come, I'll show you. Come on.
Please don't hurt me.
I'll leave.
I won't tell my father.
Look at that, Sudharsan.
Her acting is really good.
Is this mono-act or mimicry?
Who cares!
Come here!
No, sir. I'll leave.
Please don't hurt me.
Come here.
Leave me!
I will..
How was it?
She died!
Dead!
So, section 302.
Culpable homicide.
Someone called me from Bangalore enquiring about vacant seats.
It's not just one seat anymore, we can offer nine.
Nine times fifty.
Thanks to Chinthamani
we will get four and a half crores.
You didn't understand, did you? - It's not that.
What will we do about this? - There's only one way.
She came from Mirchi Girls hostel, didn't she?
Call Volga.
I'll tell you the rest.
You should follow it.
You must follow it!
You dared to sell knowledge with a price tag of 50 lakhs.
Your partner in crime is dead.
Any question from prosecution?
No?
I'm sure I have left no stone unturned.
A great soul without even a bit of compassion.
L.K!
I..
Isn't this the hand that polluted her?
Chinthamani cried for help in these hands!
Leave me.
She didn't beg you for charity.
She begged for her life!
Did you let her live?
No!
You executed her!
You didn't stop there.
You reached out to her step-father.
You cheated a poor teacher
by offering justice.
You thoroughly enjoyed it.
That deserves punishment!
My law!
My justice!
For your own safety
you tried to send
nine innocent girls to prison.
Mr. Kannayiram
no other girl should share the fate of Chinthamani.
They must not!
According to my penal code
there's only one punishment for this crime.
Death!
Those who committed atrocities against me and my daughter
got punished.
May be because of my daughter's prayers.
Master.
I had told you
that I'll go to any extent to avenge Chinthamani's murder.
I heard.
I have only one thing to tell you.
Don't be the executor of justice.
Be its follower.
That's the true path.
You'll have my blessings.
Madhava, Mahadeva!
Intellectual criminal
lawyer.
Lal Krishna has won again.
Good.
I can arrest you.
I can arrest you this very moment.
But I don't have the evidence.
Along with the real culprits
Lal Krishna erases the evidence too.
I believe in impartial implementation of justice.
A guy who works only for that.
When justice is denied
when the pillars of justice are exhausted
incarnations will take birth.
That's the cosmic law.
End justifies the means.
I'm just a tool.
L.K.
License to kill.
