'AADU PULI AATTAM'
Welcome..
I've been to the races for 20 years
and I still haven't won anything.
But you have hit the jackpot in your first try.
You must be very lucky.
Come on.. - Thank you, sir.. - Sit down.
Every newspaper has a picture of Aana Runa these days.
Have it.
Many don't keep their word regarding parties.
But you have kept your word. - Yes. - Is this the time to talk?
Look!
Congratulations. - Thank you. Who are you?
We've come to partake in the party.
I don't even know who you are.
Rajini, show them our visiting card.
Right you are! I'm Mr. Madhan and that is Mr. Rajini.
Mr. Balu, Mr. Nataraj and Mr. Muthaiyya.
It is our real names and you can even inform the police.
They already know us.
We all have the visiting cards. So, be silent. Right?
Right?
Balu, go in and bring the jackpot. He will lead you.
Sir, don't mistake us. We are not thieves.
It has been said that the ones with too much money are thieves.
Look at his face! He has the look of a thief!
Stand up!
Rajini..
Line up!
My friend, with your permission.. - Go ahead.
Hi, sweetie.. No..
Why are you standing with them?
Dance now.
Dear, you don't have to live this way.
Please stop it. You don't have to do this for us.. - Right.
I'll leave it. But what else can I do for a living?
You can't answer this question.
I can't redeem myself from this business.
I've kept the money over there.
How many were there? - Five men.
They were young. And we were irritated by one thing.
Making the people line up, two of the five men
sat down casually for a game of 'Lambs and Tigers'.
Is it? That's strange.
A steady-minded robbery and entertainment at the spot.
This has become a routine for that gang.
The day is not far for the gang to be caught by us.
The money that you lost will be returned to you soon. Don't worry.
Thank you, sir.
What are you thinking about while eating?
It's a funny thing that I don't understand, Lakshmi.
A guy came searching for me ages ago
but now, I'm searching for him.
Who's that? Why do you need his help?
I'm not seeking his help. I wish to capture him.
Is he a thief? - Yes. But I'm astonished how he became a thief.
He has joined the gang that I've been searching for.
I wonder how he joined.. - Bad company would've ruined him. - Yes.
Who made him go wrong? Did he join them as an evil person
or did he become bad after he joined?
Eat now. You can think about the rest, at your office.
Dad.. Here's an Idli from me.
I know you are giving it to me as your mother's cooking is bad.
See! - Be quiet.
Madhan..
I'm sorry. - No, you have to see a doctor immediately.
No need for that. - Why do you often scream then?
Do you know why? - Yes, I do. - What? Tell us.
You don't have to hear it. Go, sleep..
Will you sleep peacefully?
Sleep! For me! I can't sleep all through this life.
I don't fear even the whistles of the police
but I tremble when I hear his screams.
Okay, sleep now. Go.
'Hotel-T-Burma. Chennai-18.'
I've been noticing you. Darn you!
You are skinny, but you have eaten a huge amount of food.
If three more like you come here, we'll run out of business.
Give me the change, miss. - You owe me Re. 1. Get out!
Two Parathas and two plates of fried chicken.
Two Parathas and two plates of fried chicken!
Miss! - What's the matter?
The women over there are chatting after their meal.
Go and tend to it. - Sure, I will.
Have you finished eating? - Yes. - Got the bill? - Here it is.
There's a film being shot, a street away, with Jaishankar.
Aren't you going to see it? - A film shooting! With Jaishankar!
Hey, come on! Let's go.
Hema from Burma, come here.
Sir, it would be good if you finish soon.
We came here to eat in order to see you. How can we go?
I'll give you the bill. Pay it and leave.
Charge us any amount you wish. Include yourself in the bill.
If you give me respect, I'll behave like a woman.
Or else, I'll show you my Burma nature. What will it be?
He comes from a wealthy family. He can dish out cash in abundance.
What will be it?
Come out, you scoundrel! - Will you come with me?
Mister, these women are earning for their livelihood.
Why do you trouble them?
Hey.. Where did you come from? You rogue!
Get out..
I try so hard to avoid fights and quarrels.
But they don't leave me alone.
Thank you, mister.
The pleasure was all mine. - Have something to eat.
No, it's all right. Thanks.
I could have chased them off without breaking the furniture.
But I couldn't. I'm sorry. - That's okay..
Those ruffians would never enter the hotel again.
Thank you so much, mister. - Don't walk barefoot.
The floor is full of glass shards.
Who's that guy? What a fighter!
He's a forest authority. He stays in the forest always.
He's a regular customer. - He fights well. - Is that so?
Okay, pay up.. Give me the bill.
He has told you not to tell anyone who he is, right?
Why? - What? The people who come to steal wood in the forest
shouldn't know who he is. Why did you blabber it?
I won't blabber anymore. Come, let's clean this mess.
Go. - Should I go first? - Walk properly.
How long should we be like this? - I've come to a decision.
Don't dream about marriage. Try to earn a livelihood.
Hey, I've given her a promise.
'Smoking is injurious to health.'
Balu, do you know how many women I've promised to marry?
If I had married everyone, I would've had 100 wives by now.
It will seem like the pregnancy ward in a hospital.
I don't want to cheat her.. - Don't talk like a fool!
Can such men like us, dream of marrying?
Rajini. - Tell him, my friend.
He won't prosper in life. - His wish is good.
Let him marry the girl he wants. - Friend! - Rajini.
He doesn't have to cheat the girl. Let him marry her.
My friend, if you want him to be happy
don't let him be trapped by a woman.
Hey, you keep cigarettes unlit in your lips.
How can he do the same to a woman?
He has been intimate with her and wishes to marry her.
Let's conduct the wedding ourselves.
I'll conduct the wedding. Okay?
Police..
Madhan! - Yes. Come, Hema.
What's the hurry? The man you sent, told me to hurry.
I came running. - It's about a wedding.
We have decided to conduct my colleague's wedding
here in the forest.
Did you call me to tell me this?
Not only that. You are responsible
for the things needed for the ceremony.
Did you call me to say this?
But one thing. Don't talk about this to anyone. - Why?
They're marrying without the consent of their parents.
This is a love marriage.
Did you call me to tell this?
Why are you sighing so much from the moment you came here?
When will you.. - What? - Marriage.
Okay, I'll leave now. Prepare the things I told you.
"The cuckoo is cooing the tune of love now."
"The coo of the cuckoo incites desire in my heart."
"The cuckoo is cooing the tune of love now."
"The coo of the cuckoo incites desire in my heart."
"When the hands unite, life begins there."
"Just thinking about it, clouds my thoughts."
"As the decorations declare marital festivity."
"The heart of a maiden"
"rejoices this day."
"The cuckoo is cooing the tune of love now."
"The coo of the cuckoo incites desire in my heart."
"The newly bliss of the bedroom and the unique bliss of embraces."
"These are the memories that long for a lifetime."
"The act that Adam and Eve began in the beginning."
"Thousands of desires"
"arise this day."
"The cuckoo is cooing the tune of love now."
"The coo of the cuckoo incites desire in my heart."
"The cuckoo is cooing the tune of love now."
"The coo of the cuckoo incites desire in my heart."
Do you call this a wedding?
She's a beautiful girl. We can't help it.
A thief cannot stop from stealing.
How many days do you think this marriage would last?
Nataraj, taking care of a family is more dangerous than robbery.
The bridegroom will come to know as days go by.
All the best. - Thank you. - All are not so lucky.
Madhan, the next move.. - I'll take care of that.
You go now. It's late. Priest, thank you so much.
There are no doors or windows in here.
Our first night is very funny.
What's so funny about it?
Millions in our country celebrate their first night like this.
Why are you shy?
Madhan has drawn a screen and is lying outside to guard us.
Will Madhan and Hema marry next?
Hema desires Madhan. But he has no thoughts about it.
Why is it so? - He's the odd one out in our gang.
He lives a life of a machine.
He has some painful thought in his heart.
He does not wish to tell us what it is.
Poor guy! He's such a good man.
Will you sleep..
How can we sleep tonight.. - Will you sleep?
Just try it.. - You try it.
Hey, let me go.
Trying to sleep, are you.. - Hey, let me go.
I won't let you sleep..
Madhan!
Madhan..
Madhan!
How long are you going to suffer like this?
What's your worry? Tell me today. I'll solve it for you.
I-I'm sorry. Why did you come? Go..
Go to sleep, everyone. Lie down. Go.
Why is the groom coming as if in a stupor?
What's the matter? Why do you look so dull?
What's it, Balu? - Madhan, forgive me, please.
What for? - My wife doesn't want me to do this trade anymore.
Superb..
Has your wife brainwashed you overnight?
What else? - I can't be with you anymore.
What more?
I've decided to go North and look after my family.
I knew that this would happen.
My friend, I opposed this marriage, didn't I?
Do you understand it now?
I knew that this would happen.
I agreed for this marriage just because of that.
Do you understand that?
He would go out in the world, get caught and reveal us.
Why do we have to forbid men who wish to run a family?
Oh.. So, are you going to send them off happily?
What else can we do?
She mesmerises people with her dance.
She has shown her true colours.
Mind your tongue, Rajini.
No woman would want her husband to be a thief.
Balu, you can go.
Madhan.. I have no words.. - Don't thank me.
No formalities. You took a good decision.
Best of luck, Mr. Balu. - Thank you, Madhan..
Please forgive me, everyone.
Rajini, Nataraj, Muthaiyya..
I'm leaving.
Stupid.. Damn it people!
Malathi, Superintendent Ragunath, is following me.
Inform Madhan quickly!
Balu, don't run. Or else I'll shoot you.
My friend, why is the girl coming alone?
Madhan.. The police have caught him.
How? - He went to buy tickets at the railway station.
Suddenly he came running to me saying
SP Ragunath was pursuing him. And that he's in danger.
He told me to inform Madhan.
He was caught before he could escape.
Stupid!
Hey, Rajini..
Rajini!
Daddy!
Daddy, I hit four boundaries. - Very good. Go, play now.
Bye. - Bye.
Balu!
It'll be disastrous if I lose my temper.
Tell me now. Where are the others?
They may be anywhere.
What do you mean by anywhere?
Tell me where and when they'll be in a certain place.
That depends.
Balu, I know your father. I know your whole genealogy.
I speak out of goodwill towards you. Tell me the truth.
Hello. Inspector Thavaraja, speaking.
Sir, it's for you.
Yes, tell me. Who are you?
I'm a friend of Balakrishnan, who's with you.
Who?
I have your only son, Chiranjeevi Ravikumar.
Are you shocked?
Your son is longing to talk to you. Talk to him. Here.
Daddy, this is Ravi.
Ravi.. - Sir, my friend, is duty more important
than affection? It's a tough question, isn't it?
You fool! A policeman wouldn't be deterred by such things.
Release Balu or I'll kill your son.
I'll let you decide.
Malathi. - You.. - I'm Madhan.
Why are you in disguise?
Rajini and others have gone to look for Balu.
I plan to return the Superintendent's son
before they return.
What about Rajini? - He'll be angry when he finds out.
He wouldn't agree.
It is foolishness to kidnap a child
in order to threaten the police.
We should not support it.
You should not be here anymore. Leave now.
Mother..
I want to go to my mother. Untie me.
Mother. - Don't cry, dear. Don't cry now.
Don't worry.. I'll take you to your father.
Lakshmi, policemen aren't the only ones who need to be brave now.
The family members should be brave too. Listen to me, Lakshmi.
Go in, okay? - Come inside, mister.
You have to meet my father! - No.. - Father! Mother!
Wait, my parents will be here.
Ravi!
Father, this is the guy who rescued me.
Thank you, mister. - Okay.
Why don't you come in? You have rescued my son.
It's all right. - Nothing doing. Come in..
How did you find him?
Some ruffians had the boy.
I took him away from them, cunningly.
Thank you.. Sit down.
If it were someone else, they would have come here
with the press and photographers and would have become famous.
But you seem to be modest and wish to go away silently.
Lakshmi, bring some coffee quickly.
No.. I've got some important work. - Don't be hasty. Have some coffee.
But who are you? What do you do? You haven't said that yet.
I'll tell you some other day. Forgive me.
Hey, stop there!
I know Hindi and I know you too.
I never forget a voice once I have heard it.
I thank you for rescuing my son.
But don't think that I'll let you escape.
Hands up!
Mary!
I'm Sister Mary. Do you remember me?
Mary!
Mary, what are you doing?
I'm putting out the chillies to dry, Grandmother.
We put them out daily, don't we? Let it be.
Has the debt-ridden wretch who lives upstairs returned yet?
He went out this morning and hasn't returned yet.
Take a bath, let's eat. - Food is not important.
I have to somehow get the wretch to pay the rent.
Go and bathe now. I'll ask him when he comes.
He'll sneak upstairs as you sit dreaming.
This scoundrel is trying to become a policeman.
How would the nation prosper? I'll teach him a lesson today.
Grandma, I've washed and put up the clothes
to dry upstairs.. - Okay, you go and do your work.
He has to come here. I'll wait for him and catch him.
What was that? - The tile.. It was a broken tile.
If the wretch had given the rent, I would've done some repair.
What's this? It looks like a letter.
It's a song. A song that I wrote. - A song!
Do you know how many I've read?
Oh, God! What's this? I don't understand anything.
Why is this written in some unknown language?
I can understand it. Give it to me.
Grandma, I'll go and read the rice. - What?
I mean, I'll go and cook the rice. - Careful..
I'll come soon. - I'll start working here.
'Mary, this evening at 4:00 p.m.'
'I'll be waiting for you in the fields.'
'I wish to talk to aloud at least once a week.'
'Don't forget to come. Madhan.'

Are you going to vacate the house?
I have got a job. Please bless me.
What's the job? What's the salary?
Mary, I.. - Tell it to me.
I'm going to be a cop.
The job that I was longing for has come to me now.
What does it matter? When will you pay the rent?
Ma'am, will I be paid on the first day of work?
The interview is in Chennai this Wednesday.
I've to get selected. I'll have to undergo training
then work and get my salary and pay you the rent.
When do you have to leave? - Tomorrow morning.
You can't go away without paying the rent.
Grandma! - Ma'am, why do you lust for money in your old age?
I'm an orphan. Who else would I give when I earn?
It's all for you. - Are you speaking the truth?
I'm going to become a policeman. How would I lie?
You should pray that I should get this job.
Okay, go and come safely. - I'll leave now..
Madhan.
Mary.
Do you have money for the expenses?
How will you go to Chennai?
There are many lorries going there. I'll jump into one.
You don't have to do that. Go in a train.
Here.
Mary. - Sell these and use the money for the expenses.
No, Mary. - Take it.
It's not good that I get your jewels for my comfort.
Why do you discriminate it saying it's mine and yours?
Here. - Mary, listen to me.
Listen to me. Take it.
Will you write a letter when you reach there?
A letter that can be read using a mirror, right?
The sound of bells won't be heard in this house anymore.
Mary..
Why are you crying? - Am I the only one crying?
No, I'm not crying. You are being childish.
No, I'm not crying. It's you.. - No, you. - You..
Mary..
Shall I leave now?
I'll come to the railway station.
I'll definitely come.
I'll leave now.
Grandma will be searching for me. I'll leave now.
The shock of hearing that you have become a robber
has crucified me on the cross.
I cried for many days.
Grandma did not live long.
I was struggling to forget the past.
At last, I found peace in this manner of life.
But I didn't find peace yet.
You have blamed me for your transformation.
But don't you want to know the reason why I changed?
I left our town after bidding you farewell.
I went to stay at my friend's house.
But at that time..
Doctor. - I can't confirm anything until this evening.
I'll come back later. Don't worry.
Ma'am, don't cry.
He'll be all right.
This interview was held yesterday. Why have you come today?
I was unable to come due to unavoidable circumstances.
We don't care for your reasons.
You did not attend it. That's it. It's over.
Tear that up. - Sir, don't say such a thing.
My friend was in his death bed. I couldn't leave him.
Mr. Madhan, a policeman is one who does his duty
even when his beloved ones are lying dead.
You were not able to attend the interview for such a job.
And the reason you give me is that your friend is sick.
Men who give in to sentiments are not fit for this job.
You can go. - I can't bear this disappointment.
I wanted to join the police force since I was young.
Give me another chance. Please.
I'm sorry. I can't change the rules and regulations for you.
Sir, please.. - Don't waste my time. You may go.
Irresponsible fellow.
How was the interview?
Oh, God! It's all because of us.
How's he? Did the doctor visit?
These medicines should be bought, immediately.
He has to be admitted to the hospital.
He said that it was urgent.
What about the money? - The money you gave was spent.
Oh, no! - The company that I work for, is on the next street.
The owner has returned it seems. I'll get some money from him
and will be back soon. - I'll take care of him.
Vasanthi, bring the medicines.
Vasanthi went to buy the medicines and hasn't returned yet.
It's been hours since I told her to buy it.
Now you'll blame me for your irresponsible behaviour.
Please wait. I'll go and come with the medicines. - Please do.
Is that so?
I'm ready to help you.
Before that
you have to do me a favour.
What is it, sir?
Many people in this office gossip about me.
Tomorrow, they should gossip about you and me together.
What? Why do you gaze like a child?
Don't you understand? I want you now.
You wanted money urgently, didn't you?
Do you understand my urgency now?
I'm an employer. I don't throw away anything without gain.
Don't you feel ashamed to talk so cheaply?
It's your duty to save your husband.
You may wish to scorn me with your chaste behaviour.
If I don't give you money now
your husband will die.
It's better that you be close to me
rather than being a widow, isn't that right?
I'll ask you something. - What?
Will you ask me whether I have sisters?
If men regard every woman as a sister
then men will have to embrace sainthood.
It's better that I should die instead of doing this.
Why don't you pleasure a man before dying?
Think about it.
What other purpose is your body for if it cannot save your husband?
Is this the mercy you show me?
This is my business. If you don't like it
you may leave.
I'm ready to sell myself.
Your husband will recover now.
I'll die when he recovers.
Come, build me my tomb.
Madhan..
It's better that I become a robber for my friend
rather than you losing your chastity.
Give me the list of medicines.
I'll come with the medicines, you go home.
Go home!
Hey, employer. - Who are you?
Get out. Hey!
Is this how you behave with a woman who seeks your help?
That's my wish. It's her fate.
If you behave like this, no man will regard
your mother, wife and sisters properly.
Hey, I can buy anyone with the money I have.
Buy another company if you have money.
But don't buy another's wife. - I'm not doing some unique crime.
These sort of crimes happen because of men like you.
A thief is born today. And you are the reason.
Hey, let me go.
I'm going to rob you now.
Give me the money. - I won't. - Take it out. - I won't.
You couldn't even stand for a couple of blows.
Hey, I'll call the police. - Call them.
They didn't offer me employment. I'll give them work.
Hello. Police..
The police began pursuing me. I remained hidden.
Some men who stole for a living, sheltered me.
But even after that, my friend needed my help.
Therefore, robbing became my profession.
But yet, I did not forget you.
But how will I face you?
Tell me now..
My hands.. - Are not corrupted.
Those are hands that have sacrificed themselves for others.
A consolation in sadness. Happiness in loss.
But still, you have to deliver yourself from this life.
That will be good for you and a relief for me.
How can I? - I'll show you the way. Wait.
Madhan. - Yes.
I've done my duty for your good.
Forgive me for that.
Mary.
I was the one who called him here.
Mary!
Don't think that I've betrayed you.
The life that you bore on for others, has ended.
You don't have to live a life that others hate.
You should pay for your crimes and come back as a new man.
You should live a respectable life.
If the love you had for me was true
then fulfil my prayer.
Greetings. - Greetings.
Sister, you were the one who helped us catch Madhan.
So, as per our tradition, we wish to appreciate and award you.
Forgive me. I did not give him away in order to receive appreciation.
He should live a reformed life. That's my desire.
Can you help me? - Tell me.
As soon as he is released, help him live a good life.
That would be the reward you can give me.
Very well. I'll certainly do that.
I can do that.
I'll meet Madhan and talk about this.
Come, Madhan. - You've already caught me.
Why have you come to prison to see me?
There is no need for you to hate me.
I'm not worthy enough to talk to you.
You do. - In this attire!
Madhan, why do you wear these clothes?
For whom did you start to live this life?
That's your worth and pride. - Lovely!
This is the best time to appreciate me.
Mr. Ragunath, I didn't become a robber
only because of my friend's family.
You are a reason too!
How? - Have you forgotten it?
'The interview is over. Don't waste my time.'
'I say, get out!'
You threw me away, didn't you? Don't you remember?
I plead guilty. I'm going to seek to set right my actions.
As soon as you are released, I have to help you lead a dignified life.
That was Sister Mary's wish.
I'm going to fulfil it.
But you have to give me a promise.
After your release
you should not be in contact with your old friends.
You are merciful enough to conduct the wedding of a friend.
That is why I tell you that you should not pity them again.
Madhan, do you know that your accomplices are murderers?
No. They're robbers. Not murderers.
Sorry, Madhan. But they're murderers.
You are not related to those murders.
But your friends are definitely related to that.
Madhan, there is a Muslim prisoner condemned to the gallows.
One of your friends was the reason for the destruction of his family.
Who's he? - I'll make preparations for you to meet the prisoner.
Ask him yourself.
Devarajan.. - Yes, sir.
God is the greatest..
Allah hears whoever praises Him..
God is the greatest..
May the peace and mercy of Allah be with you..
Son. - Father?
I did not expect to celebrate Ramzan with you in this place..
Father, when will you come home?
Home..
Father..
Are you crying?
No, I'm not crying.
Okay, the Lord will save you. You will be blessed.
Leave now. - Father. - What? - I'm hungry.
Oh, God! - I've not eaten since yesterday.
Oh, God..
Don't worry. I'll give the boy food at my house.
Sir, you will be blessed.
Okay, leave now..
Sir, please give him something to eat before you send him. - Sure.
Father. - What? - I'm leaving. - Okay, dear.
Mister..
Who are you? - I've come to see you.
Did you come to see me? - Yes. I was sent by Mr. Ragunath.
Why did he ask you to meet me?
I wish to know who afflicted your family.
I feel ashamed to talk about it.
I'm asking this for a good reason. Don't mistake me.
Okay, I'll tell you.
Why should I die denying you the truth?
I'll tell you.
My people used to describe me as a good and innocent person.
But I lost the fifty years of the good reputation I had
in half an hour.
I committed two murders.
One day..
Jamila..
Has Salim eaten? - Mr. Hussain..
What atrocity is this! He has raped and killed your daughter!
Go and look!
Jamila..
My daughter.. Jamila..
Look, your son has been tied up.
Salim.. My son.. Salim..
My son! Salim..
Son, are you hurt?
How were you wounded? What happened? Tell me, Son.
I came hearing the sounds
and saw the mechanic, Gopal running away from here.
Gopal!
Where are you going? - I'm going to hack him for destroying my family.
No, let's hand him over to the police.
Let me go.
I killed an innocent man in my madness.
I killed the inspector who came to save the man.
I was blinded by anger.
Mister, do you know who raped my daughter?
It was that lying scoundrel who put the blame on someone else.
I found that out later.
But he escaped.
Who's he? - There's a mechanic shop near my home.
He comes there to repair his motorbike often.
He spoke so kindly. I respected and was friendly with him.
Scoundrel! He cheated me.
His name is Rajini.
Why do you ask these details?
All for a reason.
Thank you for respecting me and telling me all this
even amidst such suffering, just because I asked you.
I'm Madhan. I'll leave.
Hey, it's nice to see you here.
I have some leftovers if you are hungry.
But you have to pay me Rs. 2 extra.
Is Hema in? - Who are you?
I'll tell you who he is later. Come in.
What's the matter?
Did you go and see Madhan? - Yes.
Did he send any message for us? - No.
Doesn't he wish to escape?
You inquire so much about him
but do you even care about the fate of Malathi?
Her husband has gone to prison and no one cares for her.
She has gone back to her old trade.
Go and visit her at the hotel.
She dances before strangers with the nuptial chain around her neck.
Did you even think of taking care of her
until her husband returns?
Why do you care for Madhan?
Do you miss a member for your robberies?
Listen to me.. - Enough.
It's enough that I was fooled not knowing who you were.
But Madhan has escaped from your gang of murderers.
I pray that he should be released and you all be jailed.
Hema! - Enough. Get out!
If you come back here, I'll hand you over to the police.
Who's he? He looks like a scoundrel.
Hema, nowadays, the company you keep
is growing worse. Be careful!

Malathi.
Okay.
Malathi, Balu has escaped from prison.
He told us to fetch you immediately.
Really? - Yes.
Okay, let's go.
Come. - Where's Balu? - He's in there.
Balu..
Come on. - Where's Balu?
Balu is in jail. - Why did you bring me here?
Do I really have to tell you that?
Don't you know? Can't you understand?
Rajini! - That's Rajini's style.
Let me go, Rajini..
Let me go..
Let me go.
Hey, sit down. He can handle it.
Oh, God! Rajini, don't do this.
Why are you protesting?
How dare you refuse me? - Let me go!
What happened? - Hey, she's running away. Catch her!
Malathi!
Mister.
Come, mister. - You wanted to see me, did you? - Yes.
You came to me and spoke kindly.
I wanted to say goodbye to you.
Mister, I'm being executed
at 5:00 a.m. tomorrow.
I'm not worried about my death.
But I'm leaving my son
as a blind beggar
eating leftovers.
I cry now thinking about that.
Mister, don't worry about your son.
I'll take care of him.
Mister, do you really mean it?
Or do you say it just to console me?
No, I promise you.
Your son is not an orphan anymore.
I'll be there for him.
Mister, I don't know who you are.
But you are all I have
in this lifetime.
I'll die happily now.
Mister, you will be blessed..
Mister, I'll leave now.

Father? Where are you, Father?
I have come.
Salim, I'm here.
Father..
Salim. - Father..
Father. - Salim. - Father.. - Salim.
I have fulfilled your request.
Salim.. - Go with this mister.
He'll take you to Mr. Murali's house.
You should stay there, okay?
Salim! Why are you crying?
Father, will you die?
Salim, who told you so? - Mr. Jamal told me.
No.. He must have played a prank on you.
Just a prank.
Yes, your father will come to you very soon.
Salim, it's getting late. Leave now.
Father. - Leave now, Salim. - Father.. I'm leaving.
I'm leaving.
Miss, look after the things here. I'm going out.
Don't ask me where. It's an ill omen to ask.
I won't ask you. You tell me that yourself.
I'll have to sit down before I leave now.
Don't be cross with me.
One should enquire where an 18-year old girl goes.
And one should ask an 80 year-old when she'll die.
This is the habit of our country.
Madhan is being released from jail today
and I'm going to receive him.
Is he a martyr that you should go and receive him?
No, we are going to marry each other.
He is a martyr of sorts. Give me some money.
What for? - To buy a garland.
Hey.. What's this? She might spend it all.
Hey.. Hema, what's this?
Murali, Vasanthi, it's been long since I met you.
How are you? - I'm fine.
Vasanthi has got a job. - Is that so?
Where's Salim? - He's in the cab.
Salim. - Father..
Salim. - They've told me to go home.
Wow! - Salim.
Yes.. - Go home with Mr. Murali.
I'll meet Mr. Ragunath and come soon, okay?
Have some coffee. What are you thinking?
No, it's just old memories.
I came here once.
But after that, I changed a lot.
I've come here once again. What will I be when I go out?
You should hold yourself proudly.
Madhan, I've redeemed myself for the mistake of rejecting you.
From tomorrow, you are going to train as a private detective.
Sir. - Yes. The cop life
that you desired, is going to come to you in a different form.
There is a department of private detective agency
for finding criminals.
The department is very helpful to the police.
I've heard of it too. - Very good.
There is no way I can recruit you as a cop.
But the things you desired to achieve as a police
can be done as a private detective.
You can get government awards by your detective prowess.
Your training starts tomorrow.
You will be pursuing criminals instead of us pursuing you.
Best of luck.
Thank you so much, sir.
I never expected such fortune to come to me.
I'll be faithful to this.
I'll make you proud.
I'll leave now. - Where are you off to? We need to talk.
I've to tell this happy news to Mary. I'll leave now.
Mary.
Madhan.
Welcome.
Mary, I've come with uncontrollable joy.
Mr. Ragunath has found a job for me.
Do you know what sort of job it is?
It's the job that I've been dreaming of.
I'm a private detective now.
My prayers have been answered.
Mary, do you remember?
Some years back, I left the town bidding you farewell.
It's a new beginning now.
I came here to tell you once again.
But this time, I'll make you proud of me.
I'm so happy to hear it.
You won't face any problems anymore.
Mary, you are the reason I got this life.
Keep this as my thanks.. No, as a remembrance.
I'll leave now.
Mary.
I cannot forget the pain
that you are not with me
though I get all I desire.
'Bharat Private Detective Agency.'
Sir, you are Madhan, aren't you? - Yes.
I'm supposed to give you this letter.
Who?
The person was here. But I can't see that person now.
That person must've left. I'll leave too.
This is not a garland for a friend.
It is a garland of sacrifice.
Rajini, I have not only reformed
but I know the truth that you are a murderer.
That is why I tell you
it's best that you three surrender to the police.
Private detective..
There is no law in our kingdom
to let traitors go, unpunished.
My kingdom does not have the mercy to let you go if you do not reform.
My friend, it's neither good that we reform
nor is it good for you to reform.
But it's best that you surrender to save your lives.
Madhan! - Quiet!
You are our friend of yesterday
the enemy in future and a headache at present.
Be patient.
My friend, to us, surrendering is humiliation
living a life of reform is shameful
and living like this is a blessing.
Which side are you on?
I can't live by your principles.
My friend, tell me now. Which side are you on?
Keep three bullets remaining.
You three may need it.
Rajini, don't think that I'll join you fearing such things.
We wouldn't take in a fool who has lost the way.
Hold the revolver up and shoot.
Rajini, you are a hasty man.
Are the bullets over?
But my anger is not pacified yet.
Hey! - Stop.
We don't need the bad reputation of a three on one.
We'll meet again and settle the debt.
War has begun between us.
This is the first day. There are 17 more days to go.
We do not so many days.
We'll see.
Rajini, this is not a garland for a friend.
Madhan!
Sir. - Come in.. Who are you?
I'm Madhan.
Oh.. So, you are Mr. Madhan.
I received a call. I was told that you'd come here.
What are you looking at?
Surprised at seeing a Brahmin with a rifle and a cigarette, is it?
A rifle is my walking stick.
A cigarette is a feast to my thoughts. Sit down.
It's okay.
I'm not a Brahmin with just the knowledge of the Vedas.
My body is tempered with beatings and hackings.
Not only the brains, my brawn helps me too.
What are you surprised at?
Do you know what has been told in the Bhagavadgita?
'Therefore, oh, Arjuna, in all circumstances, be a yogi.'
A true warrior like Arjuna
is the holiest saint.
I'm like that.
The people who don't understand me have troubled my family.
They have destroyed my peace.
Excuse me.
This is Harijan, our cook.
You are an ideal man, sir. I admire you.
Keep admiring me. I look at this world with an open heart.
But to such a person like me, a fool of a boy was born as my son.
I did not teach him only the Vedas
I taught him martial arts in order to wipe out injustice.
But he misused it.
I was very angry.
I plucked off the sacred thread and told him to go away.
I said, 'get out!'.
He agreed and left.
I had no contact with him for many years after that.
He came back like the prodigal son
after being beaten up and being imprisoned in jail.
He said that he had reformed and married.
I was so happy.
I asked him where his wife was. He went to bring her.
Do you know how he came back?
I cried.
Sir, where is he now?
He should have been happy in this house
but is shut up in a corner.
Come on. Come and see him.
Come.
See. - Hey, Balu!
Sir, is he your son? Hey, Balu!
Do you know him?
Do I know him? He's my friend. Ask him. Hey!
He cannot answer.
He couldn't recognise even me.
Sir. - His brain is confused.
I found him in this state at the temple
after he had gone to fetch his wife.
What's the reason?
You have to find it out.
What about your daughter-in-law?
Do you want to see her?
She's here. Come, I'll show you.
Come.
Look here.
My daughter-in-law's ashes are in this vessel.
The one who should've given birth to children has turned to ashes.
She committed suicide in the same temple.
The policemen gave me the dead body.
I cremated her according to our tradition. What else can I do?
What could be the reason for the suicide?
That is a mystery to me too.
Even the police weren't able to find it out.
Mr. Madhan, how did my son go crazy?
Why did my daughter-in-law commit suicide?
Who's the reason behind all this? What could be the reason?
If I get a hint, even a small one
I'll not rest until I exact my revenge upon the murderer.
I will have my revenge.
I was the reason for Balu's marriage.
If he is in such a state
my anger is much more fiercer than yours to find things out.
You are my saviour.
If you are the reason for his marriage
how long had you two been acquainted?
How were you acquainted?
May I know it? - I'll tell you later.
I'll come and meet you after knowing the truth.
May you succeed.
Give my eager hands some work to do.
Sure. - Best of luck, young man. I'll be waiting.
Lord!
Who are you? - You are the hairdresser, Catherine, right?
Yes. - You were late Ms. Malathi's hairdresser, right?
Yes. Who are you? - I'm a relative.
Is that so?
Malathi was a sister to me. Such a nice girl!
I never expected this to happen to her.
Well, Ms. Catherine, who met Malathi
and whom did she meet last?
You should know. You would've been with her.
Can you try to remember it?
Sir, I don't know anything.
I have told the same to the police and to you too.
You can leave.
Well.. Ms. Catherine.
I was told that you were an accomplice in the murder.
Is that true? - I'm not anyone's accomplice.
This is a false accusation.
Tell that in the court.
No.. I'll tell you the truth.
Please believe me.
I'm waiting.
Let's button up.
How's it? - It's fine.
If I had known that you dress up so well
I would celebrate 'Bakrid' daily.
Father, are you wearing new clothes?
Yes, I have worn new clothes.
See who has come to celebrate 'Bakrid with us.
Salim. - It's Mr. Jamal.
You wanted him to come. So, I brought him.
Salim, here, give out sweets to everyone.
Madhan..
What's this? You hung up the phone
saying that you have found the murderers.
I need the details of who and where they are.
It's not right that I disclose the details to you now.
Be patient for two or three days. I'll tell you.
That's okay. Did you go disguised as a Muslim?
This is not a disguise. It's Bakrid today. That is why.
I don't understand your ways.
How are you related to Bakrid?
Are you Madhan or Majith?
Don't shout out, sir. - Why not?
I have donned this disguise for a Muslim boy here.
I have been acting as his father.
How is it possible? - It is. He trusts me because he is blind.
Where is the boy's father?
He was executed in the jail where I had been imprisoned.
The people responsible for his death
are the same ones who have troubled you.
Salim..
Why are you crying?
I overheard what you two were conversing.
Salim.
My father is dead. I'm an orphan. My father is no more.
Salim..
My father is dead.
Child, you are not an orphan because your father is dead.
Don't worry. We are all with you as your relatives.
Salim, forgive me.
I acted as your father all these days
so that you shouldn't cry like this.
Not only you. Even I don't have a father. Do you know that?
But we have a father who's above all of us.
As long as he is there, we are not orphans.
We should not cry for anything.
Salim.

Hello. - Madhan!
My friend, happy Bakrid to you!
What do you want?
The girl who celebrated Bakrid with you is near me now.
Come to the swimming pool immediately
where we had met and became friends.
Or else, this beauty will become an orphaned corpse.
Rajini! - Darn you! Speak softly.
My friend, we are playing a game of 'Lambs and Tigers'.
The stronger will win, right?
My friend, I need a favour from you.
Come immediately and alone.
If you try to inform the police
I'll kill the girl before you reach here.
You son of a..
What? This is Rajini's style. Okay?
Come, my friend.
Your goldfish is in my fish pond.
Look.
Rajini, why are you threatening me?
It's just an obligation. We need you to do something.
You have to take this suitcase and exchange it for another
with a person standing beyond the toll gate.
Come here, hand it over to me. Will you do it or not?
Why do you need me for this?
The way to the toll gate is secured by the police.
We cannot go there.
My friend, you are a friend of the police.
No one would suspect you.
Rajini, are you going to untie Hema or not?
No..
I want some entertainment.
She'll be released only when you return.
I'm going to turn on the water. If you don't come within two hours
she'll drown and die.
Isn't it funny?
Drowning a person in the water and using a private detective
in smuggling is Rajini's style.
Nataraj, turn on the water.
Muthaiyya, lead our friend.
Hema, I'll come back soon.
Good luck.
Come on.
Stop the vehicle.
Hello, Madhan. How come you are here?
I'm going on urgent business.
Do you have to check the vehicle? - No need for that. You can go.
Thank you, Inspector.
Constable, follow me.
Thank you, Inspector.
Hema, what's this? You have worn a sari, flowers..
And you look beautiful.
Do you like it? - Yes..
Do I look respectable?
Without a doubt. I feel like greeting you.
No one will carry me away anymore, right?
What do you mean?
My sister told me that since I dress provocatively
the men who see me wish to molest me.
She said, 'try wearing a sari and men will want to marry you'.
What about you? Do you want to marry me?
Hema! - Wearing a sari seems to incite thoughts of marriage
in women it seems.
I'm feeling shy. Why aren't you replying?
I don't wish to marry.
Terrible things have happened in my life.
Mary, who should've lived with me, has become a nun.
Why do I need a family? - What do you mean?
Hema, I'll tell you about Mary.
You will understand how selfish it would be if I marry.
Mary and I..
Excuse me, where's Sister Mary?
There she comes. - Thank you.
Are you Sister Mary? - Yes.
I'm Hema. I've come to discuss something important.
I need to talk to you privately. - Come.
What's the matter? - If you really care about Madhan
come with me immediately.
You have to convince him to marry.
Whom should he marry? - Me, of course!
So, doesn't he like you?
He's not ready to marry, as he's unable to forget you.
I'm not ready to live if I don't get him.
Marriage is not a thing to be forced upon someone.
It's not good to remain unmarried after a certain age.
Even if we don't have many to laugh with us
we should have at least one to cry for us, right?
Who's there for him now?
Okay, are you ready to renounce this life for him?
No, right? If he tries to live like you
not understanding this, he is either a saint or an orphan.
He's not an orphan.
It's not enough that you say it. He should not suffer again.
It's your responsibility to change his life.
You have to help us marry.
If it does not happen, I won't become a nun like you.
I'll eat some sleeping tablets and give up my life.
Tell me now. Where should I go? Home or to a chemist!
Don't be hasty. He doesn't have to be an orphan because of me.
I'll ask him to accept you as his wife.
Will you really? - Yes.
Thank you..
I have become a sister to you in every way.
I haven't done anything wrong. I'm not connected to anyone.
Send me home immediately. - I'll send you after seven years.
Is it fair that you have arrested me listening to this scoundrel?
It is unfair.
Hello. Yes. Please hold on.
Mr. Madhan, it's for you.
Hello, this is Madhan.
Rajini, thank you very much.
Everything has been completed successfully as per your plan.
Yes..
When is Nataraj..
Okay, take your own time.
Okay. I'll give it to him.
Sir, it's Rajini.
This is the Superintendent.
Oh, thank you, Rajini. I did not believe it when Madhan told me.
But you have kept your word.
You will know your reward for this at court.
We'll talk more in person. Thank you once again.
Madhan, let him rest. Let's go. - Right, sir.
Hello, sir. Muthaiyya has escaped.
Nataraj.. It's me, Muthaiyya. Open the door, quick.. Nataraj!
Open the door.
Hands up!
Where is he? - Who?
Rajini, who's always with you. I don't know. - Really?
Tell me, or I'll shoot you.
Are you going to tell me or not?
Madhan.
Madhan! - Don't move. Hand up!
Sir, do you understand who I am now?
I was pretending to be your friend all this time.
My friends are my family.
I won't betray them.
I put on a disguise of a friend to you and an enemy to my friends.
How's it? - Bloody scoundrel!
My name is Madhan.
Sir, I fooled you in your own kingdom, right?
Madhan.
Sit down!
Nataraj!
Sir.
Sir! You tried to tie us up all these days.
See, we have tied you up now.
You fool!
Madhan, don't think that you have fooled me.
The police department will not let you go.
Sir, you have become old.
You are going to retire next week. Don't strain yourself.
Take it easy.
Madhan, wipe away the blood. - Thank you.
Nataraj, let's go and meet Rajini immediately.
Yes, let's go.
Mister.. - What? - Mr. Balu is missing.
Did you search the terrace and the gardens?
I've searched everywhere. He's nowhere to be seen.
Madhan, I don't know how to appreciate you.
The way you pretended to capture us
the way you fought with us like an enemy
and now tying him up, you have come with me.
It's fantastic.
Why have we come here? Is Rajini here?
Rajini isn't here. His money is here.
He has asked me to bring it. I'll..
Why has he come here?
Why are you afraid of this crazy guy?
Go and bring it.
Do you know something?
His wife committed suicide here in order to escape from us.
Well, go and bring it.
Madhan, let's go. - What's in this box?
The money that we have earned till now and our passports.
Passport! - In order to go abroad.
You don't need just a passport to abroad.
You should have the courage to face me.
Sir. - Shut up!
You traitor! I didn't expect you to do such a thing.
I'll hack you to pieces and offer you to the deity here.
Sir, don't get worked up. - Are you trying to threaten me with that?
Come home, I'll show you a double barrelled rifle.
You scoundrel!
Sir!
The boys of these days are soft. Down in three blows.
I'm a strong man of the old ages. Come on!
Father..
Balu, do you recognise me? - Father.
I do, Father.
Balu.
Oh, has he run off? - Who are you searching for?
What happened to you?
My wife committed suicide in this same spot.
Who are those men? I need to know.
Let them go. It's enough that you know me.
You have regained your consciousness.
The deity has blessed our family.
Oh, Goddess!
Come, let's go to the police and tell them what happened.
Come..
Oh, Madhan! What a surprise!
Come in, my friend.
Rajini.
Rajini, forgive me.
Rajini, do you know what?
Madhan has pretended to be a friend to the police.
Lovely! - He beat up and tied the superintendent and came with me.
Is it? Fantastic.
We have been wrong about him all this time.
So, you understand him now. - Of course.
You have believed him and betrayed me.
My friend, I appreciate your cunningness.
It's not good to let go of a cunning man like you
for a cunning man like me.
That is Rajini's style!
Rajini!
Don't move!
This is Madhan's style.
Move.
Rajini, do you remember?
This is the last day of our war.
This is the 18th day. - Hey!
Police!
Stop it!
Arrest him.
This case has a lot of money. Hold Nataraj.
Oh, no! Come! He has fallen. Seems to be hurt badly.
What.. - Lift him..
Mister. - My eyes are burning.. - Mister.. - I can't see.
Grandpa, what's it? - Poor guy! His eyes are wounded from the fall.
He can't see. - Lord, save him.
He shouldn't suffer like me.
Grandpa, take him to the hospital.
C-Child..
You pity for me so much. Who are you?
Rajini, do you know who this kid is?
He is Mr. Hussain's son.
He lost his eyes because of you. He pities you now.
You don't need a worse punishment than this.
Child..
Spit on my face.
I've lost my eyes because of the wrong I did to your family.
Rajini, you are not in the streets.
You have fallen in the premises of the God that Salim worships.
My friend, I was blind when I was able to see.
But now I see after I've lost my sight.
My friend!
Take me to the police station. I'll come happily.
Don't be surprised.
This is how Rajini turns into a human being.
Rajini, now you are my true friend.
I admire you, Rajini.
Don't be surprised. This is Madhan's style.
Come, my friend. Let's go to the police.
We, the police are proud of Mr. Madhan's achievements.
This pride is unique.
The people punished by the law should not remain punished.
Mr. Madhan is the proof
that they can live a noble life like others.
Apart from congratulating him personally
I award this shield to him on behalf of the police department.
Ladies and gentlemen, I did not receive this shield for myself.
I received it to award it to another person.
You should know who that is.
The honour of making me receive an award from the very society
that I was against, belongs to Sister Mary.
If it had not been for her, I wouldn't have been here
and I wouldn't have got your appreciation.
This shield should go to her.
Here.
If I have to receive this
you should receive the gift that I give you.
You both should be blessed.
See! They say that marriages concern the heart.
We don't have decorations and music here.
But our hearts are full.
Instead of music, applaud them and eat at your houses.
'Greetings.'
