Agent Kannayiram (2022) Movie Script

1
Ma, wait-wait... now, I'll dial!
Six... Eight...
Why're you taking it off,
Ma! It looks good on you!
Please sit...
Whats happening? All week you're
just coming, using
the phone & going.
Any problem? You can tell me...
Its nothing!
Kindly keep these &
lend me some money!
Here...
Son, check the phone!
"Hello..."
"Hello!"
"Son, its your Uncle!"
Ma... phone for you!
...its Uncle!
"Hello..."
Tell me, brother...
"He's asked you to
pack & come, dear!"
"We've discussed..."
Thank you... so much, brother!
"For now, He' asked
you to enter as a Maid!"
"Understand & act
accordingly, dear!
"Staying alive is more important
than staying connected!"
"Remember to inform the boy
tactfully, before getting here!"
"There can't be any trouble
because of you, dear!"
"...mind you!"
Sure, brother!
I shall explain him!
We're going to meet, Father!
Father?
Come, lets go...
Sure...
Please return my earrings...
"You've redeemed it, already?!"
Take...
"Remember, you can
never call him, Father!"
"It might ruin your
schooling & education!"
"You're still not finished...?"
"Ma..."
Come on... Ma! Let
us play for a while!
Whenever I call, you
keep giving excuses!
"but you just continue working!"
I shall come soon, dear!
"But when, Ma...?"
Where've you been, Ma?
You were here, when
we went to sleep!
It's nothing, dear!
...you go to sleep!
I thought of what
I'd spoken, last night!
I made a mistake,
calling you here!
Enough of posing as a
Maid in your own house!
-our gun for generations!
It is gold-plated!
...even today, it'd fetch
Fifty-Sixty thousand!
Here, Keep it!
Take it & leave!
You can't be here, anymore!
I trusted you &
mothered your child!
...not this gold!
If I stay alone Rogues
come to mess around!
...there is your Son, too!
Now look...
Just tie the knot!
& I shall continue with
what I'm doing, already!
N-No... Take this & leave!
"Dear, where've you gone now?"
"...are you deaf to my screams?"
"Come here, now!"
"Oh no..."
"Had safeguarded
it for, generations!"
...but is missing on
this auspicious day!
"Who'd have taken
it? Uh-Oh... no...
It is an invaluable asset!
It was a gift to our Zamin
family from a Britisher!
What Ma? ...is it not there?
Yes Son, I've been
looking for it since
morning but its
nowhere to be found
"Hey Janaki, get here..."
"I ask you to look after the
house &What're
you doing inside?"
Come on, Son...
"Look at her
coming like a Diva..."
No-one from outside
has come inside...
So... how could it have happened
without your
knowledge? Huh? Tell me!
...stands like a Mute-convict
giving-away her guilt!
"What' happened?"
There he is!
See the true colors of the Maid
you've allowed into our home!
This is why.
...we asked you not to let a
strange-stray, into our home!
Just tell me what happened..?
Hey, go get your Uncle!
Sure Ma...
Hey wait up, you...
& the other one along, too!
I'm getting to the
bottom of this, today!
It has come to this, now!
What' happened, now?
"What's happened", you ask!
Damn! Should it happen
right before the festival?
Could it be a bad-omen?
"Our pistol for generations,
is missing..." I say
& you just stand there!?
We'll get it back...
Oh god...
Goddess, please find it for me!
I'm lamenting about
my missing property...
"...& she is least bothered!"
"Then I'm sure its, Her!"
No Madam, I did not take it...
Did somebody else drop-in, dear?
No stranger has
to enter, brother...
...we have one inside, already!
She must've taken it!
Say...
Do you have any money problems?
Why'd you rob when you
already have a dependent!?
Speak...
Why're you asking her, even?
She won't speak a word of it!
She'd answer only
to the Police once
they take her
away to the Station!
Brother-in-Law...
Why would she
have any need for it?
-What could she do-
-Honey...
Just shut up!
You know, nothing!
I'm noticing you too...
Ever since she got here... You
don't treat her like any "Maid!"
...think I don't know?
Just wait...
You're finished!
If the gun is missing,
it'd surely be inside!
...just have to look for it!
I've scanned & searched
the whole place, already!
"If it is inside, how
can it be missing, still?"
"You're unwell already..."
"Why're you getting
anxious? Let it go..."
Hey, go and look for her
son! Bring him out too...
Hey... what're you doing there?
Speak...
Everyone out there
is calling you, come!
You're nicely caught today...
You check inside...
"What is taking you so long?"
"Drag him out, I say!"
He isn't coming, Ma!
...but he's upto something!
Ma...
...found the pistol!
No...
He had stolen the pistol!
Seeing his Mother
get yelled at...
See! Its found!
He is returning it, now!
Yes Mother, we
saw him do just that!
No... I didn't steal,
but I found it...
-See...
-So... you found it?!
It is no big deal
for the one who
stole it ...to also
find it, yeah?
After giving a place to
stay & 3 meals a day...
You dare to steal from me!?
Now that the
culprit is caught...
"I didn't!"
Lets phone the Police!
"After a beating
or two from them..."
"They'll straighten up!"
"Why're you blowing
this, now? Uh?"
"You please keep quiet!"
"We'll handle this!"
How can you too, say that-
What're you...?
Why did you slap him?
Hey...
...you just, want
the gun. Right?
Here...
Keep it for two days,
play with it & return it back!
"Uh! What nonsense is this?"
"You saw what he
just did, Brother?"
"Not right, Brother-in-Law..."
What have I done, so....?
I know it all...
"Where all do I have
to look for you, dear?!"
"You must be mad
at your Mother!"
Come on up, dear...
Won't Mommy know,
that you didn't steal it?!
Before any of
them could hit you...
I slapped first, to stop them!
Forgive me, dear...
"Alright... welcome, Sir!"
Don't you have electricity?
"Well... it used to shock
us if we touched Current,"
"But now, even touching the
current-bill is shocking us!"
So... I've switched it all, off!
Couldn't climb the stairs
uh?! You seem exhausted!
Here, have some water!
Sir, you a Detective...?
You're right!
Drink the water!
Tell me, Sir! What's the case?
I only have, one Daughter!
& I'm getting old too...
Any day could be my 'Last'!
I agree...
Before my time runs out...
I wish to get her married!
So, I've fixed a
Groom for her...
Is 'He' good or bad...
You must find
that out, about him!
Definitely!
"Photo..."
Here you go...!
"Okay..."
You've come, trusting me!
Climbing all these stairs, too!
....it was tough!
"Worry not"!
I shall hover like
a hawk & get-back!
"...his latest color photo!"
Perfect. Now leave
his name & address...
Name is Kalyana Raman...
Okay...
Age, 27!
Brindhavan Street, R.S. puram!
Sagittarius sign!
& his star...
No-no, I don't need all that!
I'm not going to
be praying for him...
...that won't be
necessary, this should do!
I'll tell you, with
these details!
-Is that okay?
-If you say so!
Come back next week!
Definitely, Sir!
I'll get going, Sir!
You'll manage or
should I piggy-back you?
Oh no Sir...
No Sir, I'll manage!
Alright, take it slow...
Careful-Careful, Mind the knee!
You'll make it next week, yeah?
Sure Sir
...try Chericof syrup!
To collect your monthly
rent I'm forced to follow you...
You have no shame
nor any source...
Calm down...
& are hunting cases
with a 'no-cost' coat!
So... how many months am I due?
Four months!
Didn't I ask you not to yell!?
...its a lil' short!
Get that, here!
...but wait, Sir!
It's only two-months. Balance?
In this condition,
who'd give you a case?
You repeat yourself,
month on month!
If you don't pay
the rent on-time...
"Doctor has already
warned you..."
I'll trash all your stuff!
"Hello..."
Tell me, Uncle...
"Kannayiram!"
"Your Mother isn't keeping
well! Where are you, now...?"
"I suggest you get here, soon!"
Tell me, what happened?
"Can you hear, its your
Mom. She has fallen sick!"
Hello, Uncle...
Sir...
Couple of those notes are
counterfeit. Let me check!
I shall handle that...
-Sir, Sir...
-Leave!
I need to rush to my native.
Mom has fallen sick!
Get lost...
"Asks for Hundred
bucks, so casually..."
Say Manickam... is
the Son coming, even?
Hasn't her Brother has confirmed
This, is what she wanted!
Pack her-up...
Let's wait a lil' longer...
I've informed him &
he'll definitely be here...!
"She kept praying
for your return..."
"...to the Gods,
till yesterday!"
"& directly from the Temple,"
"...she got home,
thinking of you & lied down!
"And in the morning,
she never woke up!"
Where is my Mother, Uncle?
"Forgive me, Son!"
"What have you
done to her, Uncle?"
Before I could get here what've
you done to Mom, Uncle?
I knew that you'll
somehow make-it...
to look at her, one last time,
I tried my best...
But these Scoundrels...
stopped me from doing anything!
She always wished
to go to Holy-Kasi!
...so I had her sent, there!
Couldn't do anything else, son!
I know it was wrong of me
to decide without asking you!
"You may take my life, even!"
"...finish this
discussion soon!"
Wait now...
Finally...there he is!
Conclude this council
so we can move-on...
We're paying the price
for our Father'-fault...
Patience, Son... we
understand your anger!
Your Dad' left
Five acres of land,
& a portion of this house,
...willed to his Mother
& has disappeared!
"Even if he was with us
we could've questioned him"
& now that isn't possible, too!
You're his rightful-heirs...
...but are made to wait for a
signature from someone like him!
Fortunately your Mother
isn't around to witness these!
We have our customs &
rituals specific for our village
-"Oh yes...
-Isn't it?
-True!
-He is right...
Family-fortune is
only for, Legal-heirs!
Such, illegitimate-individuals
can't claim a thing!
We wouldn't let that happen...
Isn't it fair?
He fails to visit
his dying Mother,
But has arrived
promptly for his 'Share'!
You caught the point wise-man!
Our Father, was a Mad-man...
For willing a Share,
for his Mother!
But we don't approve it...
Look here, Kannayiram...
Until this house is sold,
You must stay, settle all
issues & only then, leave!
That wraps it up...
What's next, can we finalize on
the date for the
Temple-festival?
Just point where I must sign,
& I shall, promptly...
What's more to
discuss? All okay, right?
Yeah!?
Alright okay...
Listen, this house will
be auctioned in two-weeks
Okay?
Kannayiram...
Our 'Military' mans
caravan by the village border,
...is all cleaned-up!
You may stay there!
Why the rush to sell the house?
That' our concern...
We plan to settle in Kovai city!
You better go &
mind your business!
-Here, keep this!
-Take it...
It's your brother, giving...
Why the irritation?
Choosing between Brandy
& Whisky for the night!
Why, what about you...?
Thinking if this'd
run just as before!
"Hey.."
...is that Loser,
leaving with that car?
Why do you care, what he does?
Just, mind your business! Go...
So... what's a Detective?
Had I known...
I'd explain, gladly!
"We should've driven him & his
Mother on the same
day, they arrived"
"...but we couldn't,
as we were just kids!"
"& now, he can't
get-away with anything!"
"We brothers
won't let it happen!"
"Keep him informed..."
"Who your Mother was? &
as what she was, here...?"
"Just try to understand.
The entire village knows of it!"
"Kannayiram..."
"When did you return...?"
Hi Sori Muthu bro!
What's with your eye?
Was it any insect?
-Nah, its nothing -...apply
castor-oil & you'll be fine!
But wait... are you crying, Son?
You're reminded of Mom?
No, No bro. It's nothing...
Okay then, I'll get going...
Alright bro!
Let me stay-back &
see what happens!
"This was your
Mother' last-hope!"
"Won't you visit your Mother?"
"Won't you visit
your Mother, dear?
How many times
should I explain, Ma?"
"-What am I to
come there & do, Ma?
Fine dear..."
"Mom shall pray for you, dear!"
Hinduism, isn't
just a Religion...
It's a Science!
On the right day,
we'd decorate...
& make offerings
to Goddess Durga!
Raise your hands & pray to her!
Bless us, Baghavathy...
Pray to her...
Heard any news about, him?
Got no-clue of where he's gone!
...left on the day, your
Mom passed-away!
"He seemed quite
broken, that day!"
...made enquires on all sides!
Anyway, are you
comfortable here?
Oh yeah...
Get that house sold, soon!
I'll sign the
documents & leave...
"...trying their best!"
...not finding Buyers!
They'd soon locate your Father &
get done with it soon, I guess!
Fine, I'll get going...
Where are you rushing to...?
...to the
Village-Council, of corse!
You'd just gape at them.
Why change your gait, then?
Here...
Is this Buffalo'-Milk
or Cow'-Milk?
Not sure but keeps
the business going!
"Why won't they
turn the T.V off!"
"Stupid girl,
why'd she do this?"
Bro, excuse me!
"Sir, what happened?"
...just wait, Son!
"You can't just walk in..."
-"Sir, I'm a Detective from
Coimbatore -Hey, move-out!"
-Hey 203!
-"Yes Sir!"
"What's the confusion, check?!
Right away, Sir!"
Hey, get the Mother, inside!
"Madam, please get in!"
"Ma..."
Enough already...
-Who're you...?
-"Uncle..."
"The Boy' Uncle..."
"Where' her Husband?"
"Works in Saudi, Sir!"
"Saudi eh?"
"Yes Sir!"
"How long have
they been married?"
"Six months, Sir!"
-Six months, eh?
-"Yes Sir"
"& already...?"
"Yeah?
What is this ma'am?"
You!
Turn that T.V. off, now!
Sir, don't touch it...
"Evidence!"
"Evidence..."
"...she did marry,
whom she loved!"
"I believed that
she'd be happy!"
"I had no clue that she
was plotted, against"
"Now on, I have
no-one to call my own"
Go-on. Thinks he is
some James Bond!
To file a Case or
take me to Court...
I got nobody...
"Let bygones be bygones..."
"...I've got nothing left"
"Less-sugar, yeah?"
-"Yup!"
-"Okay, leave it..."
Sir... Good morning, Sir!
Sir, this morning...
--at the 4th Street...
House no. 7!
Hey, why isn't the Tea hot?
Sir, it was hot!
-...you want it more?
-Sir...!
"Good Morning, Sir!"
Sir, the hanging-case
this morning. In 4th Street...
Yes
Suicide...
Sir, it wasn't a Suicide!
If you take a closer look...
Edge of the noose, from
where she was hanging...
...the knots were too-perfect!
Why'd a girl who's
about to hang herself,
...care to tie such
perfect-knots?
"Also... her night-gown
was a lil' torn, too"
So... someone must
have tied her up &
"You!"
Good morning, Sir...
Regarding the suicide case,
this morning that girl was...
If you observe closely, Sir...
Why would she choose
to hang-herself in the Hall?
& with the T.V. running so loud?
So this is not a Suicide,
but a planned murder, Sir!
Who're you?
Tell me...
"Private Detective
Kannayiram, Sir!"
Protecting the Public,
...is our duty, Sir!
Such-matters don't suit you...
And so...
Sir...
You cannot manhandle a
Detective. Don't you know?
You come into my Station...
& dare to investigate
in front of me?
Sir, I feel he has a point-
Listen to me, You...
Someone sporting a
coat may confuse you...
Should I listen to all that!?
Setting-up, this
new Station out here,
"...was not for
these random cases"
"Understand?"
That was just a family-feud...
& we cannot get involved!
They'll handle it...
Am I making sense?
Absolutely, Sir!
Their council will handle it!
Case, closed. Thats it!
"Hey... take a closer-look!"
"Make it quick!"
"KANNAYIRAM, your true friend!"
"Wait till we get
a hold of you!"
"Agent Kannayiram!"
"Agent Kannayiram, 2 Kms!"
"Police Station: 5 Kms
Agent Kannayiram: 2 Kms"
"Kovai-folks..."
"You needn't dodge
your difficulties,"
"Nor hunt for what is lost!"
"Whatever the case be,
He'd shoulder it with a smile!"
"However much you pay,
He'd accept it happily!"
"It's wrong to not
introduce him, still..."
"He' our brother..."
"Kannayiram, K A
N N A Y I R A M!"
"He has a thousand-views!"
"Who' this character
in the Radio-Ad...?"
That'd be my, Bro...
It is I, who refers
cases to him!
"In all, Eighteen-districts:"
"The only detective
sporting a coat is, our Bro!"
"Call him, now!"
"98408-39004"
"He'd skip his
sleep, to serve you..."
"& spoil the sleep
of the, Baddies!"
"Agent Kannayiram!"
"Hey!"
With that, 'Your Agent
Kannayiram' Ad...
Why're you hacking & putting
me up for sale, in your channel?
I plead you to, never
play that crappy-ad!
After listening to your Ad,
Coat-rentals are calling me...
& asking to settle-dues!
Please understand...
Whenever I ask
you you may play it!
"Who are you?"
Sir, I'm officially shooting
a village documentary
"Do you have permission?"
Sir I was told,
permission isn't needed
...to shoot a
Documentary, in this village!
"Check with my Superior!"
"Go on..."
Greetings, Sir
-I'm Athira Victor
-Yeah, tell me...
For me to shoot here, I was
asked to take your permission!
...a video camera?
-Digital camera?
-Sir...?
What rate? What model?
I could come along
& help you with it, too!
"Oh brother, I've lost my
cat. Please help me find it..."
It means a lot to me...
When it was born,
I lost my Granny...
So me & my cat would
drink milk together!
Are you still 'drinking-milk'?
Yes brother, I couldn't
let go of that habit!
Brother, please find it for me!
I've not had
milk, for two-days!
Just wait, you!
Go now & return with
a photo of your Cat!
Greetings, Bro...
...heard you
returned a week ago!?
Caught your
advertisement on radio too!
It'd be so cool,
if it came on T.V.
Tell me why're you here...?
Its a big deal that I advertise
on-radio, for the
petty-cases here!
Whats the matter, now? Quick!
Sir...
We heard your Radio-Ad
& found it interesting!
I'd like to capture you for a
Documentary that I'm filming
"It'd be great if I
could interview you..."
But it could be a while
before the camera gets here
"It is a big-camera, Bro!"
& pretty-heavy, too!
"Wait!"
...you, too!
"He'd be here, now!"
Sir, watch it...
What did I tell you...!
"Come in..."
"Please come!"
Welcome...
Its safe...
"Military-caravan"
From outside I
mistook it for a Bus!
"Cockroach..."
Fear not...
That cockroach is my pet,
"Tina, go inside!"
Tell me...
I put the camera
on-charge & forgot to get it!
"...we're shooting
all-night too!"
So now, Ajay'll go & get it
"My time is valuable!"
Where're you staying?
Near the Guardian-Temple, Bro!
"Five minutes, Bro..."
"& I'll return with
the camera..."
'Narasus' coffee, right?
Cross gets your neck,
Cockroach gets your shriek!
Your color is a
mix of Anglo-Indian!
-been here around for 3days, &
the roaming has
your skin, Tanned!
& look comfortable
in Cargo-pants!
So... guessing
by all this, are you-
A Wedding-Videographer?
"Sir, Documentary-Filmmaking!"
"Uhm, Film-Documentary!"
"So... like Discovery?"
"Sir, for a News-Channel!"
Oh... okay!
"Wow, Sir!"
You got it all
correct! But how...?
How did you find out?
"I'm Agent Kannayiram"
Fees is two-thousand!
"Agent... okay!"
But what Documentary,
inside this village?
Sir, Documentary is about
the beliefs in rural-beliefs!
Your Documentary is on villages.
But, I'm a City-boy. Why me..?
Camera's here!
"Hey! you brought it!"
"-Thank goodness!
-Moreover..."
Camera' makes me very shy...
So, uhm...
Actually... I'm meeting a
Detective for the first time!
'First-time', eh?!
"Shall we start the Interview?"
"Yeah, its a great
opportunity for you. Go ahead"
"So... why did you
choose this profession?"
You already seem very frail...
I'm not sure how
to tell you this!
Why Son?
But its great that
you came to me!
What're you
talking about, Son?!
The Boy you've fixed...
is not of proper character!
Uh-Oh...
He sings love-longs
in street-corners!
& that girl too, was behaving
very bad, in a public place!
Here, a photo of
their jolly-times!
His character
isn't right! Ditch him!
But Son...
This girl... is my daughter!
Yes Son!
I'm the People' Guardian!
"But, they don't know that!
Sir.."
"Its... about your... Costume!"
This is not merely a costume,
but a 'feel' for my capability!
"Its a nice costume, nice..."
What kind of cases
do you take up?
"Psycho,"
"Sadist,"
"Serial-Killers!"
"& also, Financial-Scam!"
Like-so, cases which no-one
can solve. I take those-up!
"Excuse me..."
"Couldn't find a
photo of my Cat, Bro!"
"But I could come-along..."
"New-client?"
Hey! Just wait...
Aren't we going
to find, just that?
"What is this Kannayiram?"
I thought, you only deal
with high-profile cases...?
"Crime-Scenes, Murder-Mystery!"
"Cat or pot, its not important!"
"Sentiment is important!"
What we're doing isn't important
but whom are
we doing it for, is!
Damn!
Check out my performance, now!
"I'll shoot this, please!"
...you Shooting, already?
Couldn't you inform?
"Hai, I'm Agent Kannayiram..."
...you're watching-
Hey, one second!
Cut-it, Cut-it! Hey,
get my cap, quickly!
"Kannayiram, camera is rolling!"
-Please start...
-Okay!?
We have an important-case!
Son, come here...
Say 'Hai' to the camera...
So, He finished
his Cat' milk & the
cat is pissed. It
is now, missing!
Now we're looking
for it Come, follow-me!
...still Interviewing, yeah?
"We're rolling, keep going..."
"Yup, it's him!"
"Sister,stay close..."
"You'd help in making me,
a big-popular Detective?"
"You're already very
talented, Kannayiram!"
You'll definitely become
a popular Detective!
So, this is the Cat' milk-bowl!
It has no smell, so it must've
been unused for 2-3 days!
Look here,
paw-prints of that Cat,
this should lead us. Follow...
"I'm sure this
jobless-rider'll stop
& try to small-talk,
just watch!"
-Who are you Ma'am?
-"Hey..."
Is she 'new' around here?
You continue staring
& she'd become 'Stale'!
She is new...
As far as this
village is concerned...
From birth to death it is
all about customs & rituals
They're strong-believers & also
...a Superstitious-lot!
Oh yeah!
"Something-Fishy..."
I guess we're
closing-in! Come on...
Sister...
"Whats the name of the fish?"
"Sankara!"
-& your Cat' name?
-"Sheela"
"Got it..."
Cat is Sheela...
& Fish is Sankara!
So... there must be
some kind of a relationship!
"Surely, it should be
in this surrounding..."
"Hey... it' Sheela!"
"Sheela is there..."
Come-on, Make it fast...
Brother... that is my Cat!
Come on, Come
on! Keep it cool...
I'll get Sheela out,
without any trouble!
Hai... just as expected
Baby-Sheela, has been found!
But in our search
for this lil' cat...
A 'lousy' cat has
also been spotted!
It must have sneaked-in
stealthily too...
Yeah, come-on Sir!
Step-out!
What happened...?
Come-on, put your
best-paw forward!
"Oh... that's our
Village-Council Chief!"
Mind your bald-head!
"Let-go of my saree!"
Come close...
Here...
Look after the Cat, carefully!
Hey baby!
"...never go for
its milk, here-on!"
"Remember to take a photo!"
So Chief, for how long are
you rolling this old-barrel?
And... is this your customary
costume for such twisted-sports?
Go on, greet our
Village T.V. viewers!
Village T.V. uh?
"Case closed!"
Body is heated-up,
already! "Come lets go..."
How about some, Tea?
You, call for it...
Two Strong-Tea, Master!
Just like him...
Nobody is aware of my value!
"That is the biggest
problem in the world!"
"I'm also planning to
move to Coimbatore!"
Oh, but why...?
Cos I don't get any case here!
A case'd never
come looking for you...
But it is you who must
go looking for a case!
...read it behind an
Auto-rickshaw, yeah?
"Ya Sir, its going good..."
Sure, I'll check and get-back!
Okay bye!
"Thank you..."
"Shame!"
I came here to
Document casually!
But He isn't letting me...
Why?
What does he want?
"Recently, in these
surroundings..."
"Unidentified-bodies
are being found!"
& no-one has come-forward
to claim them, even
A local-reporter has
informed, my Boss!
"Won't you come to meet Mom?"
"Recently, in these
surroundings..."
"Unidentified-bodies
are being found!"
"& no-one has come-forward
to claim them, even"
"Who's there...!?"
Sir, there is a dead body here!
Remember me?
Private-Detective Kannayiram!
-You...
-Sir!
Same retard was
at the Station. Right?
Yes Sir. It is him!
"You killed and dumped it here?"
Can't hear...
Is he messing with me?
How did you reach the top?
...with a lot of difficulty!
Careful...
Slowly-Slowly...
Keep coming straight!
Slowly. Come slowly...
No need to hurry!
Sir, this body must've
been dead for 12-16 hrs.
If you observe, from
a distance of 3-4 ft.
Sir, let us team-up & find
who's committed this murder...
Hey, Chidambaram...
Sir don't declare
a Suicide, again!
Shut-up
It is a Murder!
"Get him out..."
Damn!
You!
Why is the face so damaged?
Sir...
Sir!
Your Style oozes, Sir...
Smoking with Biriyani!
"What a style..."
Looking at you, I just feel
...my appetite growing, Sir!
How blessed that egg, be!
Swiftly sliding-in...
After inspecting
a rotting-corpse,
If you can finish
a Full-Biriyani...
You are something-else, Sir!
Just thinking of it makes
me want to vomit, Sir!
Sir...
Sir...
Sir...
Please Sir...
"Anna Marie!"
Is the Post-Mortem, done?
Fine, I suggest that you
stay-back and finish it up!
"Athira...!"
"What happened, Kannayiram?"
Come Athira, I
was losing it, in here!
"Athira, I'm here!"
What is this, Sir?!
Why is he in there, Sir?
But he...
...was He troubling you!?
Just say the
word & I'll rip him...
I'm Detective
Kannnayiram' friend!
Him?!
& You...?
You... are his friend?
Yes Sir!
Arresting with no
reason is wrong, Sir!
Something suspicious, found in a
crime-scene becomes: Evidence!
But He...
When a Joker like
him is caught there...
He'd become a: Suspect!
Can't let him off, that easily!
He' been detained
for, Questioning!
...only then, can
he be released!
Got it?
What do we do...?
Be silent...
This is normal in
a Detective' life!
It'll feature in
History-books, tomorrow!
In the screenplay,
all such characters:
Can be killed-off!
By the way, our title would be:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5!
...5, 6, 7!
"Seven bars, Seventeen Hours!"
"Stay inside all-night
You'll get your story!"
Inform if they touch you,
Kannayiram I'll take care!
"They're all just
Sour-candy You go...!"
Athira, do not shut the
office Clients may visit...
-Okay?
-"Hey!"
-Hello...
-"Listen..."
"Is it Detective-Agent
Kannayiram?"
Oh yes...
This is Kannayiram, speaking...
-Sir!
-"Tell me..."
It could be a Client, Sir!
Please Sir, pass it to me!
"...regarding the dead body
next to the Railway track"
"...need to talk with you!"
Won't you come to the Police?
"You can't be serious
about the Police!"
I'm going to kick you! This is
Inspector Parudhi speaking!
Your Kannayiram is behind
bars Come & see for yourself!
Sir, do not misbehave with my
Client! I don't
appreciate that...
Hang-up, you wastrel!
You aren't performing your
duty Nor allowing me to...
"Divya..."
Sir...
...yes, You!
Tell me...
Whatever is troubling you
we can strike & smash it away!
Are you wanting a Bail?
Stop crying & speak-up,
Sir! Was it a theft, case?
...No!
Who is Divya, Sir?
My Daughter!
"What happened, Sir?"
She tuitions children
who can't afford Schooling
...buys them books, too!
She did everything she could!
She left to Erode for
some work on this 12th!
That night...
She called me at 10 p.m.
She sounded tense...
"Why are you tensed, dear?"
"Tell me what is it!"
I asked
"That man is following me..."
"I'm very scared,
Dad!" she said
"And that man..."
"What is that man
doing?" I asked
"Dad-Daddy..." She called
frantically to say something
But the line got cut!
I called back immediately...
but couldn't reach her!
I didn't know what to do...
I was going mad...
Quickly,
I took a friend along and...
went to complain at the
Police Station near Erode!
& the Inspector there, said:
"We have an unidentified body!"
"Is that, your Daughter?"
He asked!
Still... I proceeded
with a heavy-heart!
Divya... Divya!
It was my daughter Divya, Sir!
And that Inspector tells me...
that, "she' committed
suicide after a love-failure"
I couldn't understand...
The nail-marks on her body...
The hand that'd slapped her...
was impressed on her face!
Seeing all that...
I told the Inspector...
"Sir... She spoke
to me on phone!"
And gave him all the details...
But He never took
anything seriously!
There were
nail-marks on her body!
& impression of the
palm, that'd slapped her!
It wasn't a suicide...
I swear, it wasn't a Suicide...
My lil' girl was
raped and killed!
This time, He' let you off!
Hey...
"From the same number
she'd received 5-6 calls!"
"Nine...Seven..."
"One...Zero..."
"Two...Two...Nine..."
"Four...Five...Six..."
"I want, Justice!"
"They must've done something!"
"No-one must
experience, my plight!"
"Divya..."
"And for asking Justice..."
"I too am
falsely-accused & jailed!"
"Tomorrow morning..."
"...they plan to shift
me to the Sub-Jail!"
He was crying all-night
It was a pitiful sight...
No Father must ever
be in his situation...
They've raped & killed her!
There' no-one to
question them, even!
I don't understand
why the Police
are trying to cover this case!
The only clue with
us right now is...
The number Kumarappan ga-
"No-one must
experience my plight!"
"Hey..."
...you'll do as
asked, correctly?
Definitely, bro!
Hey...
This must be stuck
all over the village!
Surely bro...
Consider it done, bro!
"When someone we love, dies"
"We'd long to see their
face, one last-time!"
"You've made me look at my girl
in such a state. Why Oh-God!"
This is how it must
be stuck Okay...?
It must be at the right height
& distance, for visibility!
"My plight... nobody should-"
"Won't I find Justice?"
"As per registration..."
Its registered in
the name of "Maran!"
So..
...with this information
we must move step-by-step
"No. 4, Andhamadam street..."
"Selvapuram"
"Kannayiram..."
"...Kannayiram!"
"Why've you grown
such a big mustache?"
You were handsome, without it...
Why, you also looked better
without wrinkles.
What to do now?
In our Eastern Corner-Temple...
The Deity's-blade
has been burgled!
Look for it, Son!
I'm working on such
an important case &
you ask about:
Deity'-blade & Dinner-plate!
I'll get going, then...
Keep going...
I was asked to inform you, Son!
I'm not taking-up cases
for free, like before...
Who is it...?
Open-up, its your well-wisher!
"Casting a Vote is, your Right!"
"Not doing so is, our Plight!"
"Illegal votes are, a Fright!"
"Stopping it is, your Might!"
Cast the right vote & be
in peace for, five years!
Cast an illegal-vote
& you'll be jailed!
Stop your silly-sermon...
Which Party are you from?
What is your Logo?
How much are you
paying for each Vote!?
State that first & we
can discuss the rest!
You dare to demand a bribe
from a Government official?
I'm here to verify
the Voter's List...
I could put you
in jail, for this!
Sir, Sir... Please No!
I didn't know that you are
a Government official, Sir!
I mistook you for a Party-member
with your mustache, Sir!
(Could've chosen
a better mustache!)
Please don't mind it, Sir!
How many of you reside, here?
-Just me & my
Husband -& your name?
I'm Chinna Paapa, Sir?
& your Husband?
He' Periya Muthu...
"Periya Muthu!"
'Maaran' from
upstairs... Is he your son?
No-No... He isn't my son!
Besides, we don't
have any kids yet!
In the near-future, maybe...
He is renting the place, Sir!
I keep him only because
He pays rent, promptly!
Very shrewd, though!
Where does Mr.Shrewd work?
Oh I have, no clue...
...but a bunch of guys
do come, looking for him!
& they do seem like a Team...
I had come on the 18th!
But this was locked...
Where had you gone?
...to the Cinemas, Sir
-and went to a Hotel too!
Maaran wasn't home too...
Where had he gone?
Oh is it...?
Uhm... it was a Thursday,
He came & left, in a hurry...
Saying, He was off to Erode
& left the keys with me!
But why're you asking
me about him, Sir?
Periya Muthu & Chinna
Paapa must vote, without fail!
Only then you'd conceive!
Say, Kannayiram...
"I've heard... Although
you missed to mention!"
You've gone to
forbidden places, already!
"What're you talking about,
Chief? I don't understand..."
You don't know...?
"A dead body was found
near the Railway-track..."
-"Is it?"
-And like a clown...
Putting on his Coat & Cap...
He' gone close to that
body for 'examining'...
"At that moment, the
Police have arrived..."
They cuffed-him right-there...
Took him to the Station and...
Kept him all-night
& bashed him up!
"Instead of wasting
time on useless
-issues, atleast from now on..."
Go & look for a regular-duty!
I shall go & look
for a good-duty...
Haven't you gone for
your 'Sneaky-duty'?
What' he mentioning
about, Chief?
"Oh, its nothing!"
You must make it to the
carnival Tomorrow-night!
...for all kinds of footage!
Sure...
"What type of get-up
is this, Kannayiram?"
A Disguise...
"Really?"
"Nice..."
"Let's hope they
don't find you!"
"Somehow we must
follow, Maaran..."
"...and we're
solving this case!"
"Tomorrow there is
a festival, you know?!"
How was the Temple sweet?
"Surely, I'll go..."
Breakfast, done?
Greetings, Bro!
Its the blade, the old-lady
mentioned! But why is it, here!?
"There were 2
guys standing here!"
"They must've left it!"
"Don't know where they went..."
This is the Thousand
year old Temple I spoke of!
The Offerings
here are tasty too...
"Oh boy..."
You found it already...!
"My dear..."
"Priest..."
"Come & take a look..."
"The Deity' blade,
has been restored!"
Try this book on the
various-varieties
of dung-flattening!
Seem to be in a hurry...
Yes Lady...
Pay the rent early, Son
"Kannayiram, he'
going to notice you!"
"Cover your face
with something!
Ya-ya, please silent..."
Excuse me
The car I'd taken on 18th...
Yes!
I need to check inside!
Within one hour, I'll
get him. "Watch it..."
"Who' this Guy?"
I don't know...
Seems to be new...
Got the case-documents, yeah?
How much should
I pay the Police?
4000 Rs.
Here...
take Rs. 2000 and,
"...wait by the Chavadi Mills"
"A guy'll come..."
Exchange this for
the documents...
-Sure
-Get going...
Go!
-Go, follow him...
-"Okay!"
Go...
Lose the peanuts...
"Why're you calling
repeatedly? Hang-up now!"
Crazy-woman...
Sir, read this for mental
and also hair-growth!
...as it' got all the
details on Shampoo!
Look, Herbal, Ayurvedic
Green-Coconut & more, Sir!
Go...
"Village Co-Operative
Bank Irumbathoor"
Is it...?
I'll handle it, myself!
"Encourage, Entrepreneurs..."
"...and Farmers be sec-"
-(He is done for, now!)
You. What're you
observing outside a bank?
"Good Morning Sir,
have a fantastic offer"
I got all kinds of books, Sir...
Now-a-days, Kids
aren't reading enough...
Get him this book & witness his
IQ level go from 0 to 150, Sir!
Not jus that, everything is
answered inside this Super-Book!
I still got more books, Sir!
Ramayan, Mahabharath,
Quran & also the Bible
Elders have taught us:
"To perform our Duty,
& not expect the reward!"
Oh yeah?!
If I, "mustn't expect reward"
Who'd work for, Free?
Your IQ level is excellent, Sir!
What book' do you want, Sir?
-Wow, Kama Sutra...
Change that reaction, You!
"Really?"
"Brother..."
"Brother..."
"Sodium Hydroxide"
That, NaOH solution...
Bottle...
"Glycerated Gelatin"
"Xylene solution"
& "Melted Paraff-"
You, unplug right now!
"Sodium Hydroxide,
Glycerated Gelatin &..."
"Xylene solution
and Melted Paraffin..."
You follow?
Black finger kit-powder!
You have all these, yeah?
What're you gaping at?
Why? You think I
don't know anything?
Yes, I don't know...
Do you have at-least
Sodium Hydroxide?
I only got IODEX pain-relief
balm to keep you calm!
But why do you need,
these medicines?
What you're asking
is a rare combination!
So... you've taken it!?
It only plays ballads
from "Idhayam"!
I tried it on & heard
static noise so I put it on!
These medicines are used
by the Forensics department
Sorry, we don't stock these!
No Sir, Please leave...
"What you're
asking, can't be done"
"Its very difficult!
I shall compensate...!"
Its not possible,
stop disturbing!
"Your frequent-visits
jeopardize my position, here!"
"Here..."
"Get it done, with this...
No-way, leave me alone!"
"Try to understand..."
"You know why I ask, right?"
"You're getting me into trouble"
Hey, get-lost!
Pissing in proximity...
"The one accompanying
Maaran is Dileep"
"He' also living
in the same street"
"Dileep...?"
"Hey... it's that same cover!"
"I noticed another man handing
over the same cover to Dileep"
Sure its the same cover?
Yes, the same cover!
"Your eyesight is
excellent in the dark, even!"
Even with these
binoculars, I can't see!
"You're a fabulous
Assistant You work for me!"
Observe & report on
what they're discussing!
-"What happened?!"
-"Hey..."
"...something' going on!"
"They're moving, again!"
"How far're they going?
I'm low on petrol, too!"
"What happened?"
-I just told you...
-Hey!?
They've gone, already...
Ask them them to wait...
Step-down, First!
It' totally dried-up!
Are you a real Agent, even?!
Be it an Agent or President, a
bike can't run without Petrol!"
"Dileep, was giving a
number to someone yesterday"
I made a note of it...
I followed him
into a building...
...there, He handed over
this cover to someone!
In this murder, "Dileep'
supposed to be involved!"
"Its getting late..."
"W-What...?"
"Divya...?"
Who? Who're you...?
Isn't your Dad,
Kumarappan in jail?
Uh?
...after you were raped & kill-
"Whom are you
talking to, dear?"
"Dad..."
"I promise, it was
your Dad in the Jail!"
Is 'He', your Father?
Then who was, "He"?
What is this, Son?
What're you talking?
Dear, your name is Divya, Right?
Weren't you raped
and your Father jailed?!
He is out of his mind...!
Get lost, right now...
Just be gone!
Kannayiram...?
I just want to talk with them!
Go away...
What happened? What'
the problem, Sir!? Let me...
"Okay, Sir"
"Sorry... Please"
Take him away, before
he gets beaten-up!
What're you doing, Kannayiram?
"Seems like a nut-case..."
Its Divya...!
Why're you behaving
like this, Kannayiram?
-"Divya..."
-Uh?
& She' alive, Athirai...!
-"Divya? Are you sure?
-Yes!"
That is the girl, I saw in the
photo... Mr. Kumarappan'
daughter!
You merely had a
glimpse at the photo
& how're you sure it is 'Her'!?
"Who' sent you...?
Mr. Muttaiah, Right?"
Yes Sir...
Sir, we're here to meet
a prisoner, Kumarappan
I was told about: Shifting
him to Sub-Jail on the 26th!
Am I not checking? Hold on!
Sure...
Please relax...
"There was no
Kumarappan, transferred!"
From the Sulur Station
they'd brought him here
I've checked & there' no
such Entry made, in three-days!
Now leave...
Go-on...
"Coming-in at odd-times!"
Think real hard...
"Hey Ekaambaram, Tea!?"
It's too much confusion, for me!
Hey! Sleep now or you had it!
Oh, that hurts...
Please let me go, Sir...!
"that hurts, Sir..."
-That hurt' Sir...
-"Sir!"
-Sir, I'd like some
information -What now...?
"That night in the
cell...on Saturday"
What' with him? He'
pissed himself, already!
Clean it up...
I'll wash it myself, Sir!
Kumarappan case, Sir!
What is it, Mister?
Regarding the 'Night-Rounds' eh?
Sir, need an information...
Hey, this is my Station.
Don't raise your voice?
It is you who's screaming.
Why'd I scream, Sir?
"Let's hear him out, Sir..."
Speak...
Sir, Mr. Kumarappan who was
inside the cell that night...
He was being transferred
to Sub-Jail the next-day!
Which Kumarappan?
There' no-one by that name...
"Sir..."
Sir...
-that night...
He was with me, in that Cell!
Sir, he was also
dressed in white!
-Was lamenting about his
daughter -Not that I know of...
Get-lost...
"Kannayiram..."
Why're you rubbing
his wrong-side?
Do not get caught in this...
Sir...
I've visited & checked
in the Sub-Jail too
...there is no, Kumarappan!
So... where did he go
from here, that night?
Please check & tell us, Sir!
He'd came-in
that night? Sure...?
Subbayya, was
On-duty, that night!
We don't have any
such registrations.
Anyways, why're you asking?
"In a Police Station near
Erode, I'd lodged a complaint"
Sir...
Sir, Mr. Kumarappan had come...
to complain about his missing
Daughter. You had, even-
...showed him a girl's-body,
that was recovered!
Sir, it was on
the night of 19th...
That's right...
We found a dead-body
by the Railway-track!
But, that was a Male...
"A Male?"
Yup!
Even last week, someone else
enquired about the same body!
"But you're giving
too much details &
that was an
unidentified corpse, Son!
"Dance, Dance... You Dance!"
"Come on...
No-No, I can't dance..."
"Sorry Ma'am!"
Look-out. Sorry...
"Hey clear this
area-now! Clear-Up..."
Move aside, people...
Kindly listen...
Don't stand here...
Everybody, move!
All devotees,
please step back...
You did this too?
-Uh?
Sir, I just got here...!
Hey...
-Hey, come on...
-Sir!
Sir, why're you dragging me?
Sir... Kannayiram...!?
I haven't done anything, Sir!
"Then why were
you following him?"
"I followed him,
for a Case, Sir!"
You, get him inside &
lock him to the jeep...
"Oh my..."
How to do this, Bro...?
Start with placing your
head on the ground!
Next lift your
legs, straight-up!
& then tighten
your stomach, fully!
Surely!
Start now. Lets see you do it!
I'm on it, Bro!
Hope you don't
have Hernia-problem!
Not at all, bro!
Fine then, get-started...
Hey, slowly, slowly!
Kannayiram...
"What's the benefit
of doing this, bro?"
How about "Bail"!
"Nowadays, people
do anything only
if they get
something in-return!"
"Kannayiram...?"
What're you doing!?
"The Inspector..."
"...declared that
I can't solve a
thing Even if I
stand on my head!"
"So... I'm simply testing!"
Hey...
...you're inside the Jail!
& that too, for a murder-case!
What else can I do?
What do you mean?
"You could've quoted what
Kumarappan said, yeah?
On that day...
I've followed Maran everywhere!
To all places,
...from a Car Mechanic-Shed
to Hospital, Bank & his House!
There is a
high-chance for my face
being recorded
in the Bank' CCTV!
The Police who purchased the
book on Kama-Sutra
has seen me...
& Finally, even
before he fell dead...
I was following him closely
in the Temple-festival too!
How can I go to
the Police, now...
& say: "Oh no-no... I got
nothing to do with him, Sir"
"I don't know who this
Maaran is! I'm innocent, Sir"
...if I say something like
that would they spare me?
Moreover, you know
about this Inspector!
...only procedure known to his
block-head is
feasting on Biriyani!
What' puzzling me is:
"Who'd have killed Maaran?"
"I'm probably the prime-suspect
in Maaran'
murder-investigation!"
"If Maaran & Dileep
together murdered Divya..."
Call-up Dileep...!
I've been trying his
phone but its switched-off!
"That's it..."
That day, it looked
like Maaran &
Dileep were having
an argument...
So, Dileep must be
connected to Maaran' murder!
Huh?
Whatever it be... It is you,
who' stuck in this problem!
Murder-weapon
has your finger-prints!
What...?
My finger-prints...?
In an attempt to
help a Stranger...
...you're strongly-locked
in the case!
"If Agent Kannayiram..."
"...takes up this case,"
"In the fear of
getting caught..."
"What if... they killed Maaran,"
"only to trap, Me?"
Stop thinking so
hard, Kannayiram!
To be trapped & stopped
You're not 'Sherlock Holmes'!
Sherlock Holmes, is fictional!
This Agent Kannayiram, is real!
Only now, this
case is heating-up!
I won't rest until
this is solved!
Alright, tell me...
What do I do now?
-Brother...
-Number-
Brother...
"I've done it...!"
I did it, bro...
No. 1
All the places,
Maaran visited...
must be re-visited for enquiry!
No. 2
Must find-out about
the Lousily-Lamenting
prisoner, Kumarappan, is?
No. 3
To find all this out I
must get out of here!
For that I need a bail...
And only you can get it for me!
I've already spoken
with a Lawyer...
Sir...
My Husband hasn't returned home
after last night's festival!
His phone is
'Not-reachable' too!
"Which area?"
"Annamedu Street"
"And his name?"
"Dileep!"
"He is Dileep!"
"Any problem between you two?"
He never used to
talk to me, properly...
But now, He isn't
coming home either!
"He has gone
missing, completely!"
"Does he consume Alcohol?"
Sure, Sir!
& I'd take a beating too...
Its okay, dear! Don't cry now...
Go on...
Ma'am...
"Dileep!" you say...?
Is he Maaran' friends?
"Hey Kannayiram"?
You're locked-up, already...
& you want to enquire, still?
You write, submit
& leave, Dear...
Sir, please check with her...
Some men get drunk
just to beat-up their wives!
"Got any photo?"
"Yup, I got it at home..."
Okay Sir, I'll get him!
"You've got
interim-bail for 7 days!"
"I'll keep you informed!"
You must prove you are
innocent, within a week!
Understood?
If not you'll be
put back inside...
Your voluntary
involvement in this case...
Tell him, Sir!
...is only going to land
you in troubles, I feel!
And I can't do
anything beyond this!
Only in the festival-crowd
from her video...
Maaran is clearly-seen
getting dragged by 4 guys!
"It is only with
that as evidence
we managed to get your bail!"
Maaran was dragged
by 4 guys, eh?
Yup!
For the next 7 days, do
not interfere in anything...
"Just as Sir suggested,
try to save yourself..."
"Understand...?"
What' that...?
Want me to remove my shades?
Yup, give it...
"No..."
No-one touches my Shades!
"Those henchmen
are almost tailing me!"
"Damn!"
"I missed nabbing
those Culprits..."
You see that?
Who're these guys?
Athirai...
Earlier,
a similar hand-bag,
...was seen with
Maaran too, yeah?
I suspect that bag
holds some clues...
Just enquire about that bag!
I have some
office-work, I'll try!
Adjust the mirror, a bit!
Okay?
Uhm okay...!
What, Why're we stopping?
"One second"
Sir, Sir...
...why're you blocking?
Why're you straining
& shadowing me?
He is quite a, famous Director!
-Is it....?
-Yup!
Welcome...
So.. what'll the
'Director' drink?
Just Alcohol...
And some curry for side-dish!
Good joke...
-Brother...
-Yes...
Why were you following me?
I wasn't 'following'!
I was just scouting locations
for Mammootty & Manju Warrier!
"Why is he opening the drawer?"
"...maybe Money?"
What' with the Toy-gun?
I've seen massive
Tankers! This is a dummy...
Cinematic Guns...
But have you've seen this?
"Token Chundi!"
It' unused for 30 years!
(How old are you, then?)
Recently...
I had it oiled & ready!
"Would he know to shoot, even?"
...but you can't,
without a bullet!
I've another...
"Oops, I laughed too soon!"
Greetings bro...
I'm Maayavi...
I'm a popular
Detective, in my native...
In my dreams, at-least!
So... you don't know to
cook. What else do you know?
"Kung-Fu"
Karate... I'm
familiar with it, all!
If only you decide, I could
become a Detective, even!
-Is it?
-Of corse...
I wished to join
as your Assistant...
...which is why I tried tailing
you without your knowledge!
So without you knowing...
I followed Maaran, to help you!
"So I sneaked into his
house when he wasn't around"
"But you went
away, with this girl!"
(Lets enter, auspiciously)
(Biscuit...)
("Oh god..")
("Hope I get something!")
("You hair is your beauty!")
("It is also your bane!")
"& handled a trouble too"!
Greetings, Madam...
Greetings...
How re you madam?
What do you want? Where
are you coming from?!
-I'm your Son, Ma...
-My Son?!
That is how I feel,
it is recommended
to eat Parle-G
biscuits for tooth ache!
Want one?
Get going, Lady...
"I even went to the
Medical shop, he visited"
Bro...
The man who came
here with a shoulder bag...
What did he get?
"He got blasting's
from the Doctor..."
& who're you? You resemble an
Animated-monkey
from Amazon forests?
Hey buddy, "Deluxe..."?
Didn't you go to Dubai,
to become a Male-Nurse?
You were so proud about poking
needles onto the Foreigners!?
Yup, I got bored
of all the poking....
The room they provided
was more like a coffin!
But I came back saying
my body belongs here!
So... when're you dying?
Hey... Just wait one day
I'll catch you by surprise!
So... what do you want?
You'll die in 3 days uh?
Head directly to the Graveyard
Why come to a Medical shop?
By the way, what're
you doing, buddy?
I'm part of an
undercover operation!
What? Your Under's are operated?
Careful. Breathe
in & Slowly out. Go!
Graveyard is close-by
Get there and lie-down!
By the way, what
operation buddy?
Buddy, that is a secret!
I'm going to work
for a Detective...
& so, to impress him...
I'm following the operation he
is into, without his knowledge
By the way, what
did he buy from you?
He only asked for
Glucose, buddy...
The Doc didn't know
& sent him away!
-That illiterate!
-"Deluxe..."
"Where is the Ethanol?"
Who is that buddy? I can see
his bones even without an X-ray!
Keeps claiming
that He' a Doctor!
You go-on, I shall manage!!!
I have discovered
this much, for you Bro!
Stop it. I can understand...
Everyone in the village
suspects you for Maaran' murder!
& only now I can see
that you're innocent!
How's that?
Well, the Police've
clearly stated:
"He was hacked by a long-knife!"
And you're only carrying a
Pistol, How could
you've done it?
"Brilliant!"
I'd dropped a 5 Rs.
coin inside the car...
Try, finding it...
Give me five minutes!
(Is this a Seat
or Shaving-slab?)
Woah! this is going to hurt!
Hey...
...you running-away
with the car' engine?
Wow... it even has an Engine?
No, I've only got
Chicken-bones in there!
Hello...
-"Athirai!"
-Tell me, Sir
(A coin is very challenging
Lets ask for a clue...)
Excuse-me Bro...
Could you give me any clue...?
A clue!
Lost it around 08 p.m!
But its only 04:15, now!
Shouldn't we look for it
around the same time?
So... by 09 p.m you'd
become a great-Detective?
That gives you 4 hrs. yeah?
Yes bro!
"To have helped
him with the Bail..."
"was in hopes of
gaining investigative-
content for our channel!"
"Keep that in mind, okay?"
"Yeah... of corse!"
"And, I'm on it,
yeah! For sure..."
"Whats going on, here?"
"Here-after he is my
Personal-Assistant!"
He has Karate, Kung-fu
& also Car-cleaning skills!
...knowing just that
much, is enough?
See for yourself...
He can cook, too!
Hey, what other
skills have you got?!
Bro...
Shall I take her in this car...
and drop her...?
She doesn't trust you, yet!
No-No, that's
okay, you carry on!
Bye...
"...forget about
forgetting-us, Athirai!"
Please move...
Sure, you continue...
Hey...
Enough with the
cleaning. Come...
Here...
No thanks Bro, I don't drink!
But you do clean, yeah?
Take...
Clean this up, Go!
Shall we start your Training?
Bro...?
Car...?
That'll be here, get your bike!
Why're you stopping, Bro?
-Get down...
-Me?
That's no wig, Bro!
This is the house,
...you must watch, all-day!
The first task assigned to
you, is an important task!
"Once Dileep is caught,
this case is closed!"
"Dileep would surely come here!"
"As soon as you
see him, call me!"
Do not move from
here, to eat or pee!
"You must, watch
like a Watchman!"
Don't they have a Watchman?
Nope...
From today, you
are that Watchman!
For a Detective:
The Eyes must hear...
The Ears must see...
The Nose must taste...
The Tongue must smell!
All five-senses
must always be alert!
Bro, who is this Dileep?
Why would he leave me behind
& go for an investigation?
Bro, come tomorrow too...
I'll be right-here!
"Not here! Place one
on top of the other!"
"Hey! Can't you drive
without honking?!"
"Hello, Mr. Super-Singer!"
Please come here!
Tell me, Sir...
...know how big,
Coimbatore district, is?
Have you seen it, from outside?
Can't imagine how many
waited in queue for a glimpse!
Is your mouchi, giving
you all this pride?
By the way, what crime
were you & Maaran
planning outside
the loo, last week?
I was born to don this coat
& Maaran was murdered...
...and I'm- I mean,
You will get caught!
Sir, what're you saying?
"Maaran is dead, uh?"
Now look...
The mortuary-van,
that just left:
Tell me honestly, where
is it headed or else...
By all Detective-Crime-Mystery,
Clint-Eastwood, Section: 304/92
...you'll be taken into custody!
They'd oil a Bamboo cane
& slide-it, up your behind!
Oh no-no Sir,
let's not go that far!
Sir, that van was
headed for Karamadai!
Mr. Sivanadi looks
after those details!
But he' suspended, now...
I'm just covering-him,
past 4 days!
Its of no benefit
to me, absolutely!
That's it, Sir!
Anyway, how do you know Maaran?
Well, Maaran...
Maaran came to enquire about
the dead-bodies found in Sulur
& they'd also pile-up
the abandoned-bodies
from around & bring them in!
He'd ask for their
post-mortem reports...
"Even when, Family is
around we act lethargic...."
"But the ones he checks about,
are all unclaimed bodies. So..."
"I guessed back-then, even..."
"that, it could
land us in, trouble!"
"& now you've come,
looking for him!"
"Tread carefully, Sir!"
Hello!
"Kannayiram, where are you?"
"...found Maaran' bag!"
"Return to the
caravan, right-away!"
Hey... its the same cover
which Dileep gave Maaran!
"Why is Maaran' bag full of
Corpse'-photos & details?"
"What are Dileep &
Maaran doing, actually?"
"All are from different cities!"
"Information about
the dead-bodies
found near the railway-track!"
"Why do they need this?"
"...there must be
some other story
behind all these dead bodies!"
These are unused condoms!
Are all photos & details
about the Murders!
"Brindha Motcham!"
"Brindha Motcham ...means?"
"I think, something important!"
Call this number
& get the address
& also details about Brindha!
"I'll share a
number with you can
you please get the
address for me?"
"Yeah, I need it immediately!"
"Now, the only source
we have is, Dileep!"
Only if we capture him"
"we can plan our next-move!"
Maaran & Brindha...
...are linked. But how?
Sauce please...
"Its over, Sis"
...only got, Curry!
-Here you go!
-...over already?
Just get her a Coconut
and she'd chew on it, instead!
"Serve him too..."
...want some more?
-No-No...
-You want?
that'll be nice...
"Call me if you
need something, Sis!"
-"Nope!
-Settle..."
There must be something-big,
...connecting these Two!
What do you think?
Lets try Chicken-Curry!
Master, Chicken-Curry!
"Agent Kannayiram,
Your true friend"
"Hey, get the bill!"
"How much can I do, singly?"
How much is it...?
Sir...
No need of any payment, Sir!
What do you mean?
"We don't collect
payment from Police, Sir!"
"Kid, I'm not a Police-man
but more I'm a Detective!"
"Don't you recognize
my 'Black-coat'?"
I'm Kannayiram!
Take a look...
Hey...
How could you use
my Kannayiram-Poster...
...for wrapping parcel'?
"I'd asked them to paste
it all over the village"
"& they dump it
all in a Hotel, uh?"
"Let them come
asking for payment!"
"Don't have to
smile covering those
teeth You look cute, anyways!"
"Come on, tell me!"
Well... it was 2 guys
...who ate here,
holding the Posters!
When they finished,
they had no money...
But they're our, guys!
So, pay-up for
them too & leave...
Kannayiram...
Take a look...
You'd mentioned...
...about our source, Dileep!
Maaran's friend!
Dileep, whom we're looking for!?
Sir, please pay Rs. 80!
"It is him..."
How much?
How could he be
dining, casually?
Exactly!
"That's Rs. 80!"
He can be caught only
under such circumstances!
We could never
catch him, right!
Very true...
He' been starring
at you all this while
Even your Monster-appetite,
didn't distract him?
He's running without paying...
"Pass that blade,
we'll finish him!"
People are gathering,
lets handle it later...
Fine, go!
Kannayiram...?
"Are you okay?"
Kannayiram!
"Where are you-"
I saw him, right-here...
Dileep was hit
& was lying here...
Hey, don't touch!
"They ran him over &
cleared his body too!"
"What happened?"
"The vehicle too
was just here..."
"It was a lorry..."
"...just went ahead!"
"Just run him over!"
Who is it?
"Is Brindha...?"
Hold on...
Come dear, quick!
What is it. Wait...
Listen to him...
Who are you?
Is Brindha, here?
Brindha...?
No-one' here by that name...
We've been here for 4 months
We don't know who
was here before us!
You could've said this,
without disturbing her!
I was all sleepy, Sir...
Okay fine, adjust your attire!
Sir, just a minute...
Do you know...?
She was here, until 4 months
ago but they've moved-out
Any idea, where to?
That was...
Well...
...near Tiruppur, I heard!
Can you tell me
more about Brindha?
Nothing in particular...
...but are you closely-related?
Yes, so tell me please...
Wasn't sure whom
to share this with!
You can tell me...
While, they were vacating
Her Father...
...left 5 pants &
shirts, with me!
& the payment Rs. 150 is due!
If you could pay-up I
shall buy some meat with it
Somehow, manage
with what you got!
"Kannayiram, next
to Madukarai..."
An unidentified-body
has been found!
"A man complained about
his missing daughter..."
"I've called him to
the Spot as-well!"
"Sir, Sir...!"
"-You can't get closer!
Brindha..."
"Oh my lil' girl..."
"How could he,
thats his lil' girl?"
"Oh no... how did you
end up here, dear?"
Ask him not to touch the body...
Please stand...
Oh... this is unbearable...
When did you see
Brindha, last...?
Sir, the last time
you spoke with her-
Can we take the body, Sir?
Hey, mind the
head. Hold carefully...
"Oh Ms. Anna Marie..."
"It is because of
people like you
that we are blessed with rains!"
"Not really, Sir!"
"Whole-country is dried-up..."
Are you in the right-mind, even?
You're roaming
with the 'Accused'?
In the eyes of the Law,
I'm only a Suspect, still!
...not an Accused!
Ms. Anna Marie...
Yes...
Need an information...
Where are they taking the body?
Why do you ask?
It'd be nightfall by the time
we complete the Post-mortem!
And I must stay & supervise...
But I just need some details...
Hey you... get the car, now!
That girl's death
was so unfair...
If only you'd
performed your duty
properly she
could've been saved!
Are you a Police, even?
Show me your I.d card...
Show me, your I.d card, Sir!
Kannayiram...
Show me your Id card, Sir...
Just come, now...
Hey, you check his
Id card & then come...
"You shouldn't be
talking like that, Son!"
"With great difficulty, I
took 2 landlords help"
"...to get you out!"
"If you lose your
cool with him like
this, your bail
could be cancelled"
"& get sent back inside!"
What now...?
Bro, asked me to
check your I.d card...
What..?
How dare you...? Get lost...
Why're you fearing
someone like him?
I'm out on-bail &
even I won't fear him!
"Try & trace the
Sulur dead-body'
fingerprints!" Please
talk to him, Sir!
Watch this!
What's with the
pride in your walk?
Sir, try listening to
what he has to say!
So... you got it?
Oh I got it, alright!
"I go looking for the
ones who're killing..."
"& I get to see them,
only as dead bodies"
"But I couldn't see my
Mom, in that state, even!"
Before I got there my
Uncle had her sent away...
"What?" But why...?
Uncle would explain:
"My mom wished for it
& he had to see it done!"
They make-up
all kinds of stories!
Ask and he'd say it
is: Custom or Ritual!
I still can't believe
my Mom is no more...
...but I can still feel her
presence around me!
How could one sleep with
such thoughts running!?
Whenever "Mom
called to meet me..."
"My anger wouldn't allow me!"
Had I been with her,
whenever she called out...
"She might not be dead!"
Guess it's my
anger, that killed her!
"Its not your fault!"
"Don't think that way..."
"Everything will be alright..."
"I can understand
your feelings!"
I'm leaving to document,
Ms. Anna Marie....
"You can join..."
"We know that you cremate
the unidentified-bodies..."
...and also perform
the last-rites!
...could you tell
us, why you do it?!
Not just, 'Living' all-alone...
...dying all-alone
is dreadful, too!
The dead, find a kind of Peace!
And for me too...
Night or Day, doesn't matter...
Even the Policemen...
insist that I must come...
So, I wouldn't care
even if it is midnight!
With what I've got at hand,
I perform the rituals
that I'm aware of!
...and rest them
For me,
Not just when Living,
But even when Dying
No-one must die, all-alone too!
Consciously I'd never
abandon anyone...
"But those who die alone..."
"...don't find peace &
keep roaming around us!"
"Won't you come to
meet your Mother?"
Hey...
Maayaavi...?
Prepare some Toddy...
Whom are you
attacking, at this hour?
I'm in no mood
to be laughing...!
Pardon me, Bro... You have
your share of sorrow, too!
Here, hold the drink!
Down it till your neck!
"Ma..."
"Mother!"
"There was a Maid..."
"Janaki!"
Would she sing well, too!?
"She'd make great desserts!"
"& top it with
almonds & cashews"
"Prepare it with care and
serve it to the Landlord!"
"Come here..."
"Inside, Dessert
is getting ready..."
Dessert eh...?
No-wonder, you
are sent out, on time!
Start cleaning...
We can have it,
afterwards. Alright!
"Who's that, along
with the Kids?"
The maid, Sir!
She'd take care of
the Zamin now on"!
"Sit & watch, dear..."
"This is our Home,
they're all your brothers!"
"They won't have
a problem. Go on!"
What is happening, bro?
Hey, watch the movie quietly!
Kids are done with
the food Please come...
"The kids..."
"...must not feel
their Mother' absence"
"Should you even tell me that?"
"Shouldn't quarrel
with brothers, dear!"
They don't have
their Mom, even...
Shouldn't we look out for them?
She even had him live
under the same roof!
When that boy
shared his observation
after thinking it through...
"Its no big deal for the one
who stole it to find it too...!"
Say...
"Should one be qualified to
even listen to what we say?"
I don't think so, just
the ears should do!
I was speaking
the truth, right?
"After that night, nobody
asked me to stay back"
"...nor ask me to leave too!"
After a point, I decided I
don't need it & separated!
Don't feel for it now, bro!
In my home also, the rice
would have lots of dust!
& eat it, without
making any fuss!
Thanks a lot...
...you've made me
forget all my worries!
I'm very happy now!
Was my joke really funny?
No-No, I meant the
comedy you just did!
With this same eyes?
Oh the same eyes, Okay
wait. I shall remove all jinx!
Does it hurt?
No-No, its comforting!
"Forgive me, dear!"
"At that time, my heart
couldn't accept her apology!"
"My Mother was
not, to my liking..."
I then accepted her being:
"...the way, He
wanted her to be!"
"Say Manickam... is
the Son coming, even?"
"Even her Brother is confirming
this is what she wanted!"
"Pack her-up!"
Why're you waiting, still...?
We've got places to be!
I was told, her
Son would join...
Can't wait all day!
"Correct!"
No-one knows where the Landlord
vanished or what
happened to him!
Not sure if He is
dead or alive, even?
Did the boy wait till the
Landlord came over, Bro?
Can't you understand
who that boy, was?
Sounds important,
let me get closer...
Who is it, Bro?
Stop brushing your
bottom... It may just tear!
...that is why I've
placed a sack right-here!
A sack! I'm sure you
have a sack for everything!
That boy also had
a working-assistant!
Can you guess who
that was, at-least?
What a mad-fellow!
Can you guess
why I like you a lot?
Why Bro...?
You're very loyal...
"They stood around her
dead-body & were cursing..."
"They must've been building
it up, for all these days!"
"And so, I had her sent
away, as she wished!"
"Divya..."
"Divya..."
"...heard she moved
near Tiruppur!"
"Brindha..."
"No-one came
looking for that girl!"
"And it was I who buried her!"
"After the post-mortem
was complete
He never showed-up
for her body..."
"The address he'd
submitted was fake too!"
It didn't strike me, then...
but I understand, now...
Brindha isn't dead, yet!
-"not dead?"
-"Nope!"
But, we did see
Brindha' dead-body...
Her Father too was
sobbing, so hard!
That's right...
"Sobbed severely..."
Even before looking at her body
he was crying & running to it...
No complaint was
filed for the the
bodies around the railway-tracks
Except for Bindha'...
So they'd set-up a
random dead-body...
& had us convinced...
& diverted us!
Check if you can
find her address
with this phone number, Sir!
Have instructed, already...
Bro... why did you
ask for photos of
the dead to be
stuck it on the wall?
Just to frame them all & to
perform the 16th day ritual!
Do what you're told, quickly!
"Okay..."
Here?
Can't you attend the
class on correct-time?
I do...
...the dead-body I'd seen
in Sulur, was 'unidentified'
The one from Erode
was, unidentified too!
On the 18th, Maaran
must have also
gone to Erode for
the same reason too!
So, putting it all together...
In the last Four months,
Total number of 'unidentified'
dead-bodies
found in our state is:
Fifty-Four!
And the photos of
Thirty-four, are in here...
"All the dead-bodies
in this paper-clipping"
"...were found in the
surroundings of a railway-track"
He'd come & check on
the Goods-Trains timings!
On that day, he'd
lost his purse too...
So he was looking
for his lost wallet!
Yes Sir...
So... what exactly
are you doing?
I apply grease in
certain areas, Sir!
& shall also tighten
these bolts & nuts!
-So the Southern
Railways is running
because of this lil' bucket!?
-Fine, you continue applying!
...of which, Ten
were Train accidents
Three were Murder-cases,
"...remaining
Twenty-one bodies were:"
"Natural-Death!"
So all these
dead-bodies were in,
"Ettimadai..."
-"...to:"
-"Bro, use a hyphen!"
Thanks, pal...
You're well-trained, already!
"...Dharmapuri"
"...found in these Track-lines!"
Observe there...
...all these dead-bodies were
found at specific
intervals, too!
Hence, these
Twenty-one dead-bodies,
...must somehow be connected!
How're you this confident,
they're connected?
Post-mortem reports
of all these dead-bodies
Claim they're: Natural-Deaths!
Why should bodies
with 'Natural-Death'
be found, by the railway-track?
"This cannot be a coincidence!"
It must all be a single-case!
How do you claim they're all
a single-case, Kannayiram?
What if it is a Coincidence?
"No... Athirai"
"You know, Maaran..."
We were both digging
into his bag, yeah?!
Remember, what he had...?
He too collected details
of these bodies, right!
He must've done his
research with that in hand!
...which is why they
must've killed him!
"Assuming that it was me,
helping Maaran with this case"
They'd sent this
'Kumarappan' character,
...& had me follow, Maaran
& had me caught in confusion...
As Dileep was aware of
this case they killed him too!
"There are no roads
in the railway routes
where these
dead-bodies were found!"
So, definitely they
could not have dropped
the bodies from
some other channel!
"So, only from a
moving train, these
bodies could've
been thrown outside"
But how is that possible, Bro?
"They won't let one
take a piss, even!"
"& you're talking about
throwing-away corpses!"
Sure it can. What if it is not a
passenger train...but
a Goods train?
Yes, it is absolutely possible!
No, it can't be
done, even then!
Definitely it can't be
thrown in the day time!
It'd become a Public-issue!
So, it must've been
thrown in the Nights!
How exactly do you
open these doors?
Sir, but who're you, Sir?
I'm Pvt. Detective Kannayiram!
I'm just asking
for my knowledge!
So, through any one of the
Good-Train that
passes in the nights
...they must've disposed
every dead-body!
Can this be opened
when the train is running?
I shall buy you some
Alcohol Please tell me!
The goods-train in this route,
Starts from Palakkad,
late in the night...
Bodies must've been
loaded in this train, because:
From Paalakaad to
Vaalayaar, is inside Kerala...
No bodies with
'Natural-death' were found
Crossing the State border,
they've thrown
bodies inside Tamil
Nadu & also in
different districts,
...which have
different jurisdictions!
So... getting caught
with the Police,
...is highly unlikely!
nor would anyone come to claim.
None were claimed!
Sir, have you ever noticed a
dead-body by the railway track?
Oh yes, it would
be lying here & there
...we would simply ignore!
"Good Citizen"!
They've planned carefully!
Say, are you following...?
...sort of!
The Police too wouldn't
mind beyond their Station-limit!
"Guessing I would
deduce it all,"
...they'd also tried killing me!
Somehow, I'd mistaken this
was the work of that Inspector!
But like I had presumed,
...this isn't any
Children' game!
There must be a
big-gang behind all this!
Those Master-minds,
...have planned well,
to trap me in this case
But no...
Intending to trap me, they've
handed a much bigger-case to me!
...the kind of case I
was looking for, all along!
Okay, Bro...
Mr. Sub-Inspector,
Please...
Athira...
"Come on!"
"Case started..."
...shouldn't we inform
the Police department?
But why? Aren't you
next to a Police, already?
"Shaming him with 'mufti', eh?"
Athirai...
This case has come to me!
I shall solve this, myself...
"Listen..."
You're not 'Sherlock
Holmes' from London...
You are Kannayiram,
...from Irumbathoor!
"Keep that in mind, okay?
Shame-Shame..."
Listen up,
'Spoken-English-Class'
...there' no need
to be Showing-off!
We don't know of any Sherlock!
Your house is here, get-going
Galileo claimed:
'Our world is a sphere'
...and he was pelted to death!
But the same spherical world,
...is celebrating him today!
...that was another-Level, Bro!
How do you come-up
with such-stuff, Bro?
That too, with all
those mosquito
bites inside that caravan!
Sir, where is the
nearest Railway-Station?
Valaiyaar is in 2kms!
Then, that is where we must go!
Hello Sir...
Sir, weekly once
in the night time
...from Palakkad to Chennai a
goods train is scheduled. Yeah?
We need an information,
about this train!
Everyday night 2 o clock.
"From Palakkad" to Chennai, a
Goods Train' is
scheduled, yeah?"
Yes...
It reaches by early morning
02:00 hrs & leave by 02:45!
Tonight as well?
It doesn't stop in
the platform here, but
stops for the one before
the station in Track2.
But why, Sir?
Sir, between 02:00
to 02:45a.m, 4Express
trains would cross
in this station!
"It is at that time when
the signal turns red for
the Goods trains, so
these trains could pass!"
Two to Two fourty-five!
That's when they're
loading the dead bodies!
"Dead body?"
"Thank You, Sir!"
Thanks a lot, man!
What's he saying?
"So what I'm saying is..."
I don't think I introduced
myself, I'll be back!
Hi Sir, I'm private
Detective Kannayiram!
Inspection, Deduction,
Murder, Theft,
All-ready, Sir! 24
hours service, Sir!
"9840839004! Thank You, Sir!"
"Here' our next song
to cheer you up!"
"The Crime group &
Hospital must be connected!"
Why did you interrupt me!?
"...must contact
Brindha, somehow..."
This is Maaran' voice!
Bro... I had followed Maaran,
yeah? I told you about it, too!
When you were interviewing me!
I did tell you back then too...
According to my intuition,
I felt what I needed
won't be needed by
Maaran. So I kept it safe!
Rewind it...
Now we must go to
Maaran' house again?
Rewind the cassette!
Uhm... Bro?!
I was just kidding, Bro...
Bro, Why're you getting-
Has it stopped, for real?
Bro... help!
You're yapping all-night...
Can't you open a door, even?
Down...
Must be from pre-independence
times Don't ask me?
Get here...
I'd asked you to fill
the radiator. Did you?
Of corse I did. Fully...
How come the car has stopped?
...not for your Car.
Bro I filled for my bike!
Does your Bike have a radiator!?
"Okay, go now & get some water!"
"& some food, as well!"
You got any money on you?
But why?
We have a Policeman
with us Who'd dare to ask!
-You relax, Bro. Sir,
please come -Hey...
In all my service, I've
never taken a bribe!
How could you, with
those shivering-hands?"
Hey, hey... lets go...
-Come... Come now...
-Stop!
The van is going to Karamadai...
-Its over, yeah?
-Yup!
"When is the next drop?"
-"Got two more
days, for that -Fine..."
"Somehow you've
turned up, just now!"
But Sir, I saw them right here!
You can't be serious...?
The bodies were
lying, right-here!
I fell here, from up there!
The bodies were
all piled-up here!
What you're saying & what
we find here is just not...
It was right here...
Just in here...
What the-
I, I saw the dead-bodies
Someone must've come in...Check
this Sir, a burning cigarette!
How could it've
come here, otherwise?
Someone must've
just lit this, Sir!
And they've moved
the bodies, just now...
-If I'm wrong, then how
did this--Kannayiram...?
You brought us
saying it was 'urgent'
Now we're here & you claim:
"dead-bodies being piled-up!"
...but there is
no real-evidence!
What's happening to you...?
You were always
the 'Alert-One!'...
Evidence!
Let me secure this...
He might blast me too!
But, I must share my discovery!
Bro, check it out...
Someone' just taken a piss...
It is quite-warm too...
Should I take a sample?
Go, get the car...
The Station Master
confirmed that
the train runs only on Fridays!
Start the car, we'll go to
Valayaru & capture them all!
(Let me just get-in quickly...)
How did you race me to it, Bro?
I came to enquire!
There' a stage-play near-by
Shall we check it out!?
Not a chance!
It' supposed to be, superb!
Yup. I've enquired already...
It is great, it seems...
My eyes are burning from lack
of sleep, already. Just come!
"Today... we'll witness
the life of a Honest-King!"
"Which God
features in that story?"
"Viswamitrar!"
His act of mischief,
"& the balancing-act
of King Harichandra..."
"That is what we're
here to witness!"
A lie?
Who dares to lie,
under my rule...?
This very instant,
he must be slayed!
Drag him to this dais,
So I make him regret his action!
"Where is he?!"
Has he gone underground?
I'd never hide...
Nor can anyone hide, from me!
I'm the one with...,
"a Thousand views!"
"Who're you, now?"
Who are you?
I'm an innocent-citizen!
Stop yapping...
I'm the innocent-lad
who believed
in a cleverly-constructed lie...
"Falling for his fake-cries
about losing his Daughter!"
And about, "...roaming
the streets for her!"
I'm a respected Stage-Star,
...and you're ill-treating me!
No, No, please don't!
You won't open-up, otherwise...
Oh no... I'll tell!
I'm a Duplicate, Sir...
But that's original.
Speak the truth!
Who watches a
Stage-play, nowadays?
Tell me...
So... to make a quick-buck
I became a ward-boy,
in a Hospital!
Roll fast, before
he passes-away!
I'd drink whenever
I was stressed
Though I worked as a Ward-boy,
I didn't like that
role! Suddenly
one fine-day, I got a call
I was penniless at that time...
We're called because they like
our work at the
Hospital,mind you!
As I wasn't doing what I loved,
I decided to play whatever-part
& didn't think of anything!
The location was
almost like a go-down!
I was accompanied
by a couple of friends!
And on their behalf,
2 more had come!
- Go-on...
- Stop-pushing!
Hurry-up!
We never imagined, they'd
hand-over that many corpses!
All those bodies were
covered in White-cloth!
Go-Go-Go...
Load it up & get-on, fast!
Let's go
You just a Driver or
do you handle more?
I'm only a Driver, Sir
Jeweler Narayanan
who pelts every Stray,
"and Kothandam,
a fan of mine..."
"with whom I
went-along, jollily!"
"On a rock-road to
the mountain-top"
"We found an abandoned-area..."
"We piled all the bodies
& burned them upl"
Wait, what? you burnt them all?
-Do you take Alcohol?
-No-no!
Cigarettes?
Nothing?
"Nope..."
Bless you with Health & Wealth!
"Our vehicle would be
stocked with corpses!"
& as we kept burning them
our pockets were filling-up!
In the smell of
fresh-notes we didn't
notice the stench of dead-bodies
Bro, someone's coming!
"For the few days I
had some money,"
"I drank & partied-hard!"
"Who were the deceased?"
"Who's paying to cremate them?"
I knew nothing!
"I used to be so drunk!"
"Like a King!"
But after 2 weeks...
...they called, again!
This time, it was
to a different-spot!
Hey, get-up... its getting late!
"Come-on... Come!"
We loaded the bodies from
the go-down to our vehicle!
"Push..."
But this time, we
didn't burn them!
What then?
"We halted next
to Walayar Station!"
"And onto another vehicle..."
"...we loaded the bodies!"
"& we complied!"
"There were 4 fresh
faces from their side!"
"They kept shifting the
go-down, frequently!"
"Only then we learnt..."
"....they weren't
fearing the Police"
"But someone else!"
"Soon, it became a practice!"
"Where did the bodies come from?
Come on. Speak up!
I don't know...
I swear!
How dare you
call it a 'Practice!'
I swear, I don't know!
Even when I used to
work at the Hospital...
From the Mortuary...
I'd be asked to exchange
unclaimed-bodies!
"And I did, without
any questions!"
But these people...
Were killing and
getting the bodies?
"Or extracting organs from
these bodies? I knew nothing!"
"In the meantime..."
"They spoke of you to me,"
and asked me to lie to you!
Fearing them, I did!
"I stole a girl's photo from
the Hospital admissions"
"Posing as an innocent Father,"
"I entered the same-cell!"
Only then I knew...
You were the one, they feared!
As things went on,
One-day they phoned me...
& informed they don't
need me anymore!
'But why?' I asked...
"You were late for
a couple of days!"
"You lack punctuality!"
they explained
"Where can I buy
it from?" I asked
"They cursed & hung-up!"
Do you have their phone number?
Nope...
It was a different
number, each time!
Fearing them...
I stopped carrying a phone
Bro!
Bro...
We've got our clue. Lets move...
Going by his words...
Bodies must've come
from the deceased' home!
Still, they'd only send it to a
graveyard! Why give
it to someone-else?
"Tell me, Son!"
Why aren't you
picking-up my call, Uncle?
"I was just having
a sound-sleep..."
You had sent Mom's body to Kasi
& handed over the ashes too!
For some rites or rituals...
Could you please repeat!
Your Mother...
...wanted to be set
in holy-grounds, right?
"As you hadn't
turned up on-time..."
Whom did you give her away to?
Come, Come... make it fast!
Come on, should
u be called singly?
What to do?
He' quite-aged, anyway...
But you're quite
blessed, Old-man!
You were lying here
in your own piss...
But after dying, you're
happily heading to the Heavens!
He'd make it to the
Heavens, right...?
Of corse!
As you have spent
all this money...
To take this body,
all the way to Kasi...
Get hold of a local-priest,
Complete all the rituals
& then burn this body...
Only when we handover his
ashes he'd make it to Heavens!
What is it?
"Bro, Tea...?"
Tea, Buttermilk...
To hold him back you'd
bribe with Biriyani, even!
Is this even an age to die?
Sir...
He lived like a King!
Damn! Let go...
When he was alive, did
you give him a Coffee, even?
Why're you shedding tears now?
"He can rest in peace
in our garden, Sir!"
What' that...?
It is a service-centre
for the dead!
Understand?
Even when you die, your
body must come to us!
Don't forget...
Madam, why are
you crying, still?
At your age, you'd have
seen enough deaths!
Wait on a lil' longer, Son
-Till his Unc-
-What... "His Uncle?"
Even his Grandson
would be a Grandpa now...
Granny...
Had he reached before
this death, He'd be: Uncle
To reach after, makes
him, as good as dead!
Had he been treated on-time He'd
have attended
that Uncle' funeral!
But, look now...?
Fine, take a seat
However much you weep
or cry He isn't coming back
Instead of paying
them to lament for him
You could help him
attain Moksha, in Kasi!
Now look...
Do not suppress your feelings...
You haven't done anything
for him when he was alive...
Aleast, allow us to fulfill
his wishes when he is dead!
Understand?
These have to be done
within a specific time!
Is that Uncle more
important than his Moksha?
Only in death, he'
found his peace
And you found yours too!
Why...
Even for me, in
doing this service!
Hey, lift this body...
You lazy-cow, come fast!
You mustn't wait for
anyone to be reaching...
"Body'd start to decay!"
Sir..
Oh benevolent-being, delivering
the deceased at Heaven' door
We believe in you,
please take him & leave...
You must believe.
To Live is to Believe!
In the next village,
Landlord's house...
A lady had passed-away...
Even they trusted &
gave her body to us!
What is troubling you people?
Would regal families
make hasty decisions?
You know nothing, about them?
A vehicle from Karunai
Charitable Trust came...
"Saying that all
rituals & formalities
were done they
gave her ashes too!"
Here...
This Ash...
...was given by
a priest in Kasi!
Store it safely under the bed...
Understood!
"So, evil-spirits &
misfortunes, keep-away!"
Because someone asked,
you gave Mom away?
It was wrong, to even let
them leave before I reached!
& someone comes
back with her ashes and...
Your 'Love' is the Poison!
So you must...
Take the ash from that,
& apply it for 45 days!
Understand?
Shall I serve the rest of it?
Only then, a child-less home
would soon bear a new-life!
Understand?
Alright...?
"Not just when Living,"
"But even when Dying,
no-one must die alone!"
"Consciously, I'd
never abandon anyone!"
"Won't you come &
visit your Mother, son?"
How are you, Madam...?
What is it at this hour, Son?
Forgive me,
Its about my Mother...
What' happened, Son?
Her name is, Janaki...
She' quite fair-skinned!
& very beautiful!
Why do you sound like that?
All bodies that I
cremate were Orphaned...
But she has you, right? Her Son!
Collecting a body in the pretext
of: Cremating it in Kasi,
"they're being discarded
randomly, Ma'am!"
"Who'd do that?"
"What is this you're saying?"
"It's true, Ma'am!"
"Mommy..."
"Ma..."
"They claim, cremating..."
"...and also randomly
disposing, elsewhere!"
"& wears glittering-earrings!"
"Not sure of whom
to check with..."
"Its been Two-months
since her demise!"
"Two months...?"
"...that was her final-wish!"
"Please try recollecting..."
"I won't forget the faces
of those I send-away, Son!"
"Ma... where are you...?"
Who're you...?
The one in this
photo, is she here?
Show me!
Please, for my sake...
Please wait outside, Hold-on!
"Its been... around 2 months!"
"Why're you troubling, Sir?"
"We don't retain the
bodies beyond 2 months"
Keep moving...
"Just get going, now!"
Pass the photo, Son...
Hey, stop him...
Step aside, Sir! Come on...
Just a moment...
Son...
I have seen this lady, Son!
Next to the Perundurai
railway track!
I'd removed her
earrings & kept them safe!
But I didn't have
the heart to sell it...
It made me feel very guilty!
Now that you are here,
her son You may keep it!
Careful...
"Hello Ma'am, good-morning"!
I'm from an Insurance Agency...
Leave!
Would you like any
policy? Ma'am...!
"Brindha..."
I'm from a small
village, near Sulur...
One-day, suddenly...
I was told, my Mother had died
& I went...
But I couldn't see her
As a Son,
I hadn't done, a thing for her
What happened to me
shouldn't happen to anyone!
Please...
'"Moksham' is an N.G.O."
& I worked as the
Office Co-ordinator, Sir
Collecting bodies of the dead,
for Cremation in
holy-Kasi, was the service
I liked what I was
doing in-there!
One-day, Mr. Maaran
came looking for me
"& enquired about the
N.G.O.'s activities..."
And mentioned about
some crime going-on!
"Only then, I understood..."
"People send bodies to 'Kasi'
believing it'd
wash-away their sins!"
"But..."
"...in the name
of a 'free' service!"
"Using their strong-beliefs..."
"they were collecting
dead-bodies
& were doing something to them!"
"When I passed details
of the dead, to Maaran"
"...they came & warned me!"
"My family was
terrified too, Sir!"
"We then, moved-away
from there!"
But, Maaran & Dileep
still tried reaching me
"I avoided them, Sir"
"Maaran must've tried
meeting you regarding this"
"Only someone from the
Medical-field must
be behind this!"
"I'll try gathering
more information, Sir!"
"KANNAYIRAM" Your true friend!
"Even when I used to
work at the Hospital..."
"From the Mortuary..."
"I'd be asked to burn
the unclaimed-bodies!"
"Using their strong-beliefs..."
"They were collecting
the dead-bodies
& doing something to them!"
"Only someone from the
Medical-field must
be behind this!"
"Those are medicines used by the
Forensics & we
don't stock them up!"
"But only yesterday,
stocks got delivered!?
Shut up, you!"
"Hello..."
Who is this?
"Kannayiram Sir,
its me Brindha..."
Tell me, dear...
What's the matter...
Where?
"You've left behind
a single child
in deep sorrow, Maragadham..."
"Hey Manickam, why
isn't her son here, still?"
"Is he coming or no...?"
"Her Brother is confirming
this is what she wanted!"
"Pack her-up,
immediately from here!"
"Lets wait a lil' longer..."
"Let her Son reach!"
"He even ran-away, only after
learning of what she'd done!"
"Why would he come back?"
"Has Mommy done
something, you don't approve?"
"Ma..."
Ma...?
Ma...
Ma!
Ma, forgive me...
It is I, who failed
to understand you...
Ma...
Ma...
Ma... Ma... Ma...
"You uncut-diamond..."
"Uncut-diamond,
Uncut-diamond..."
"My beautiful treasure!"
"The leaves are all dried-up!"
"My Virtuous woman the
green leaves have dried-up!"
"Mom, who maintains
me is missing..."
"Here I'm, yearning for you,"
"Like a child,
longing for love,"
Sir, what you're
doing is a great favor!
Oh Mother, please... calm down!
"Please rise, we're
your family too! "
"We'll ensure she is
dropped at Heavens doorstep!"
"You don't worry
about any of it"!
"You must stay strong..."
"We'll make a move...?"
"After losing a liaison!"
"Arriving at answers,
I shall settle-scores!"
"Ready get-down!"
"With a Detective eyes"
"& my Radar-sketch,"
In eighteen districts,
"You may enquire about me!"
"Hello..."
Finger-prints from
the dead-body in Sulur,
...is matching with
a Murder in Chennai!
"Is it?"
Yup
"Doctor, regarding
the murder in Chennai"
"How long has it been,
since the murder?"
"Must be a week, Sir..."
Dr. we found a
body in Sulur, right?
Yeah...
How long has it been
since its passing?
"...must be Ten-days old!"
How could someone
who died 10 days ago,
kill another, after a week?
"Exactly?"
"How is that even possible?"
I shall find that out!
Was the body,
missing any organs?
Oh no! No organs were
missing. I'm sure of that
Whatever organ is
taken from a dead-body,
"It'd be noticed during
the post-mortem"
"But they are doing something,"
"...that goes
unnoticed. But what?"
They're fooling so
many & recovering bodies
"Breaking all those
Families' sentiments"
"Why commit such an
organized religious crime?"
Could they be
collecting: Finger-prints?
"Remove all
identifications from the
body & bring the
chemicals-box..."
But if they only need
Finger-prints couldn't
it be collected from
any dead-body...
Why run this elaborate-scheme?
When a person dies,
...the Oxygen-level drops
"Moreover..."
"Blood-circulation stops too"
"So, it must be collected
immediately after death"
"But to do that, a
Lab-setup is mandatory!"
"and..."
"...some chemical
processes must be done too!"
"I think, that Lab must
be inside this Van!"
"This is why
they're in a hurry to
collect the dead-bodies
from their homes
"Hey Dilli..."
Yes...
Why is the truck
for Kasi, still here?
"Hey, hold the arm tightly..."
Press it...
-Hey...
After injecting a dead-body,
...would it rise &
dance in Kathakali?
Are you out of your mind?
Oh my god!
Why is he applying
ink to his finger?
Hey...
So... you're planning to rob his
fortune with forged
documents, uh?
I won't let that happen!
You, get down here!
What are you doing
to the dead-body?
Hey Dilli... Get him out!
"So... with the
murder, in Chennai..."
They'd have started
the investigation
with these finger-prints!
However much they investigate...
...they would
never nab the Killer!
And even if they do,
Soon they'd know the
Killer' is already dead. So...
& the case would be closed
since the Killer isn't alive!
There' a massive
forgery-scam behind this!
Is it?
You dare to embarrass, Me?
Now you must pay my money...
"...payment is given to
your Village-Chief. Now go!
Why give it to him?
He takes 6 months to
return, a borrowed-knife, even
If I don't get my money...
I'll make a
dead-body of you all,
& take you to Kasi, myself...
Why did you stab me?
Are they doing this just
for murder-crimes...?
Using these finger-prints...
A fake-passport, fake-Visa...
Why even their identification
can be changed...
Create a fresh database
& sell it to Criminals!
Terrorists can use these
finger-prints & attack!
During Elections,
they could create a
non-existing person
to cast fake-votes too!
And a lot more...!
They can do so much more...
"I'll inform as you
cross the border!"
Do not let-go...
...be ready!
Hey, hold it from under & lift!
Hey... come on, make it fast!
Signal' changed. Quickly now...
Lift-up, now...
What are they doing?!
How could they do such things?
"Hey...Quick. Quick.
Come-on up, guys!"
"Oh my... the train' started!"
"...as long as we're alive,"
"...we mustn't let
anyone die alone!"
'A final wish...'
"Please ensure he
reaches the holy-ground"
"Won't you come to
meet your Mother, Son?"
"Ma..."
"Mother..."
"Ma!"
"Mother..."
"I'm suspecting
that Medical shop!"
"Why, even Maaran had
been there to enquiry!"
"Definitely, the
fingerprint removing
chemical must be in
that Medical-Shop!"
"If it is found
there,Case-closed!"
Hey, careful...
Higher...
Hey, I think we've
crossed the border!
"Hey, the signal' getting
close! Get ready..."
Hey...
"You dropped it, so close..."
"Swing it farther!"
"Its okay, bro. It'
slid into the bushes
"The Spot is here!"
Steady...!
Swing it far...
All of you, hold still!
Hey, who is that?
Guys, get-up!
"How did he get here?"
"He' got a gun..."
"Visalakshi Medicals"
Kannayiram has seen the
body by the Sulur Railway track!
He'll surely start enquiring!
Plan something for him...
But Sir... shall I finish him?
No-No...
We've planned to kill
his Uncle anyways, yeah?
Let us put that blame on him!
Once he is locked-up, He
can't come out for10 years!
& we'll not have
any trouble from him!
Forget about that...
How many bodies
came, last week?
Seventeen, Sir!
Only Seventeen? What
kind of lousy work is this?
At this rate, we'll have to
shut down the business!
& send your
fingerprints & mine...
Aren't you just getting
the fingerprints?
What are you using?
Its a solution!
Hey what is the work you do?
My work Sir, is to
check the fingerprints!
Have you seen the
quality of those fingerprints?
-Check this...
-I did, Sir!
Now look,
I give you just two days!
In that time, I need 50 bodies!
From which I need
50 legible fingerprints!
-Understand?
-"Sure sir!"
"Just go, Convince
the families!"
Go on...
Stop looking!
"Sulochana!"
Aged 38!
...your wife, right?
Come!
They brought her in for a
serious hernia operation!
It was I, who treated her!
The surgical blade...
needs to only be
twisted-lightly...
& that'd be the
end of her story!
But I did no such thing!
I have only saved every patient
who comes to me trustingly, Sir!
Pain is only for
those who're alive, Sir!
Corpses don't have any pain!
Then why did you
kill Maaran & Dileep?
Bad Luck!
"Collateral Damage"!
"What to do?"
"After cheating,
so many people,"
"...bodies have been collected,"
"breaking all of their
family sentiments,"
Why did you do such an
Organized-Religious crime?
Good question!
Why did-
You go on!
You're asking, 'Why
did I betray people?'
People did trust...
They have many
similar beliefs...
& because of such
beliefs, many of them
...are cheating them, still!
They're not caught, yet!
But I'm caught!
That's the difference!
If all you wanted
were the fingerprints,
...you could've taken it from
any dead body! Why do thismuch?
For the prints to be usable,
bodies need to be fresh!
People from around
believe, going
to Kasi after
dying is a blessing!
What would you do in that case?
Think about it!?
We'd take the bodies from here!
"Simple!"
So, did you do all this
just for murder-crimes or...
"...or is there anything else?"
Sending just the
finger-prints is upto me!
They themselves,
commit their crimes!
What they do with
the prints, send it
abroad or to Mars
is not of my concern!
"It all stems from my
childhood trauma."
You'll turn sixty
when you go to Jail?!
The Local Police
couldn't do much!
Sir, he'd not stop giving
explanations. Take him away...
-Why're you standing
still? Move it...
Get him out!
Come...
Sir-Sir, just one question!
Where are you all
moving. Come here!
Please tell us, Sir...
As per Agent
Kannayiram' findings,
Dead bodies taken
from the railway tracks,
...won't remain
with Police for more
than 3 days. They'll
be disposed...
As per that loop-hole,
...they've done
this brilliantly!
After solving this case, where
is Agent Kannayiram, now?
My Son!
