No Baththa!
Don't do this Baththa!
No Baththa!

Please don't do this!
Oh my!

Someone save him.
Oh my!
Baththa, please don't!
Please don't do this!
Someone save him.
Lord 'Kaathavarayan'
is ready for the hunt!
The Goddess is on a hunger hunt!
The enemy has no chance against him!
This is Baththa's 'Baththavatharam'!
Someone save him.
No Baththa!
No Baththa!
Stop this Baththa!
Oh my!
Let this fear be there!
Lord 'Kaathavarayan'
is ready for the hunt!
The Goddess is on a hunger hunt!
The enemy has no chance against him!
This is Baththa's 'Baththavatharam'!
GOVERNMENT HIGHER SECONDARY SCHOOL
Hey Sabari!
Why you looking dull?
Baththa beat the hell out
of my neighbor Jyoti!
Jyoti's body was covered in blood!
Baththa broke Jyoti's hand!
Jyoti would have triggered
Baththa, that's why.
One person I knew,
was casually sitting in his house,
and asked 'As if Baththa
is such a big shot?'
No idea how that reached Baththa's ears.
That very evening he came.
Smashed his ribs and stuffed him under his
armpit and left!
Hey! Even in my street,
one man,
when Baththa was passing by, he was just
singing a song,
don't know what Baththa thought,
he got down from his bike,
came and thrashed him and dumped
him in the trash can.
When Baththa is around,
no one will even sing.
When Baththa is around no
one will even sing.
In his terrace he has a cage,
where he keeps a lion!
Really?
Yes. One day my dad and me were returning
after seeing,
the night show at Natraj theater.
I saw him and his lion pissing
on the Electric transformer!
Is that why there are frequent power cuts?
No one can do anything to him.
Once the police caught him
and put him in jail,
he broke all the jail bars,
flung it and came out.
Everyone is petrified of him,
but he is not scared of anything.
After the thrashing you gave, the
entire area is scared out of their wits.
If he wants to put another shop near ours,
what guts he must have!
Will anyone come ever again!
What you said was correct.
That fear should be there.
Otherwise we had it.
These new pricks who sprouted yesterday,
will walk around strutting their chests,
should we watch and keep quiet!
Now and then we should do
something like this,
otherwise they show us their true colors.
No
Even after so much has happened,
Jyoti hasn't filed a police complaint.
Maybe he is planning something else?
Bullshit!
The way he was battered,
he will never dream of coming near
Baththa!
PATIENTS SHOULD TAKE
THEIR MEDICATION ON TIME
Jyoti,
Baththa won't let us live.
Only if we finish him,
can we survive.
I will organize some really
experienced hands.
We can finish the job smoothly.
Thenu
Dad.
Watching TV, is it?
Watch Watch
Kannimaa
What?
Hey!
You have hit him so badly.
Have you gone crazy?
What if he had died?
That's the only thing you
haven't done yet.
Do that also and go to jail.
When you fell in love with me,
what did you say?
I said you were beautiful
You keep doing this.
One day or the other,
won't they take revenge?
What if something happens to you?
Do you even think of us?
Hey! This is Baththa!
Baththa!
Who has the guts to finish me!
Dad!
Don't simply act dad.
This is what I sang as well.
What is this?
Can't you see what it is?
Tomato chutney.
Same crap every day?
What do you mean everyday?
Yesterday it was fish curry.
The day before it was intestine gravy.
What is wrong if you have chutney today?
Shall I serve or no?
Serve!
Dad!
You sit.
It's so sweet.
For years you've been making this chutney,
and still you don't know how much tomato,
how much onion,
and how many green chilies are required.
Yet, you have such a big mouth!
It's gonna be only
tomato chutney to my grave.
Ma, give it here.
It's nice only, dad.
Wait, I'll make something else.
Hey!
You have to go outside now and
get wasted, isn't it?
Why you talking to yourself?
Give me one strong tea.
Rusk?
Hey!
Who the heck is that?
What the
I'll kill you!
Brother!
Brother!
It must have been a crow.
Come here.
Come.
No brother! No brother!
I said it by mistake.
It's the stone that held the clothes.
I have my doubts.
Baththa left.
You don't spare anyone and fight with
everyone in the area,
stones are bound to fall.
The Area's Only Don! Everything is
under his control, The Leader!
Baththa has to dart a look
That look propels the story.
If he lifts his collar
The rampage will begin
If you plan to oppose him
No one can escape.
The heart will stop
All you loitering wastrels.
Move aside you nincompoops
Always thrashed only big guns!
Never touched small fry
Forget the Bravado.
One glare you would be doused.
Once he exhibits his prowess.
You losers will come to your senses.
Don't you dare come here
Don't forget who HE is!
Don't play sly games.
Don't get caught and be doomed.
Don't play sly games
Don't forget who HE is!
Don't you dare come and argue.
If he punches, you'd be minced.
If you get caught
you'd be mentally screwed.
If you get attached to him
He will like you very much.
He will like you very much.
If you get caught you'd be mentally
screwed.
If you get close to him
If he punches, you'd be minced.
You're gonna under estimate him.
And touch him
You losers roaming around, showing off.
Will be dead with no proof
You're gonna under estimate him.
And touch him.
If you decide to hunt him you're doomed,
Pray to the Lord!
You will Tremble at the sound of His
name You losers.
No matter what the scale of the rampage
is He will stand alone!
Don't trigger him,
you'd be destroyed.
You'd become dust.
You will shiver and shudder
You sidekick losers.
Don't you dare come here
Don't forget who HE is!
Don't play sly games.
Don't get caught and be doomed.
Don't play sly games.
Don't forget who HE is!
Don't you dare come and argue.
No need for weapons.
Everything shall happen with His Hands!
If you get caught
One punch and your ears will turn red!
He's no normal guy
A gang will assemble for him.
Our Leader's Tribe, every member is
Super Sharp.
Don't jump around with arrogance
The Area's Only Don!
Everything is under his control,
The Leader!
Baththa has to dart a look
That look propels the story.
If he lifts his collar
The rampage will begin
If you plan to oppose him.
No one can escape
The heart will stop.
You're gonna under estimate him
And touch him.
You losers roaming around showing off
Will be dead with no proof.
Kannima!
Hey! Kannima!
You're here is it!
I've been calling you.
What is this?
Is this how a house should be?
Where have you been since the morning?
Where all do we have to search for you?
You shouldn't search for me.
I'll be found on my own!
That's Baththa!
Why did you search for me?
Why did you search for me?
What is it
When?
- Thenu
- Don't wake her up.
From the morning she's been
asking for you.
She just slept.
My daughter!
Hey, Thenu
You are going next to her, stinking
of liquor, go.
See her in the morning, now go.
This whole area will be stunned
by the way I conduct,
my daughter's puberty function.
Wait and see.
This is a promise.
Go
Go!
There is an auspicious date in May,
let me check and tell you.
Okay.
What are you doing?
Is this the place to play?
Have you finished writing?
Leave.
Go, now.
When you have finished so fast,
what could you have possibly written!
Hand it over one by one.
Sabari! You haven't left?
The toy is with the teacher
Oh! You better stay, get it and go.
After this, we go into the 4th standard.
It might get lost during the holidays.
Ma'am
Ma'am
-You're cheating in my presence itself,
-Sir
- I won't do it from now on, sir.
- What guts you've got!
Even before the peak summer sets in, the
heat is scorching!
Yes!
It's unbearable, it might just kill us!
You know what,
yesterday our school watchman Govind,
couldn't bear the heat, he felt dizzy and
fainted.
He was lying there unconscious
for a long time,
finally, milkman Babu who
was passing by saw him,
with the help of a few others, he put him
into a rickshaw,
and took him to The General Hospital!
Nothing serious, right?
Nothing life threatening, it seems.
Poor guy, don't know if he will be able to
go for work again.
Why was he lying there unconscious for a
long time?
Didn't anyone from school see him?
School closed for the holidays
two weeks ago.
Guess the staff had finished all their
work, no one was there.
He was alone.
Till the school reopens no one has any
work that side.
Why have you unnecessarily booked a light
music orchestra?
Can't you allow me watch in peace?
Keep believing.
Tomorrow is ours.
Today is ours too.
MAHALAKSHMI SILKS
TEACHERS' ROOM
GENTS TOILEHey! Who has locked it?
Hey!
Can't you see someone's here!
Open the door.
I'm telling you to open it!
Hey!
Who is that?
Are you going to open the door or not?
If you don't open the door
That's better
You know who I am, right?
Baththa!
Hey! When I come out,
I'll kill you!
Hey
Open the door
Open the door
I am asking you to open the door!
Hey
Hey! Open the door!
Hey!
Who is there?
Hey!
Hey!
Hey! Open the door!
Bloody hell!
Am asking you to open, isn't it!
If I come out, you are done!
You have no clue about me.
You better open it.
Where did you go?
I just went out.
Mister, what work did you have, to go out
early in the morning?
Went to play.
Who is coming at this hour to play?
No one came,
that's why I got back.
How silly! I've been searching for you.
I made tea for you, it's growing cold,
drink it up.
Once the police caught him and
put him in jail,
he broke all the jail bars,
flung it and came out.
GENTS TOILEBaththa!
Hey!
You haven't had the tea.
KEEP THE TOILET CLEAN
KEEP THE TOILET CLEAN
Is this a toilet or a safe?
Why such a door?
Who is this?
If I catch you
Shameless rouge!
Oh! My leg!
Welcome
You'd say that, wouldn't you?
Ask anyone you want in the area.
Others know me well, too.
After her you go.
Okay, Sister
- Hey, Selvi.
- Yes, sister.
Hey, Kannima.
Baththa hasn't come?
No.
He went out in the morning,
didn't say where he was going.
We waited and waited,
then Thenu and me got ready and came.
He told me he will definitely come.
Where did he go without telling you?
He's like that.
He never tells me anything.
If he told me, I will be in peace, right!
If he's like others, then it's fine.
He won't stay out of trouble.
Why you unnecessarily overthinking?
Just wait and see, he will be here before
the function gets over.
Alright, you wait, I'll be back.
Okay, sister
Here.
- Do you want?
- Yes.
If you need anything ask, Selvi.
- Delhi, there is no rice here.
- I'm coming.
Durai
Take the 'Rasam'.
For you?
Enough.
Rice?
I don't want.
Just eat.
He's been missing since morning.
Do you guys know where he
could have gone?
Don't know, Sister.
He left without saying anything.
We'll look for him, Sister
It's around one in the afternoon.
April 26th.
Saturday. Jesus
Hey! Baththa here!
I'm inside the school bathroom!
Someone come and open this door!
I am Baththa speaking!
Can anyone hear me?
Someone better hear me!
Delhi!
I've looked everywhere,
he's not anywhere.
He used to go see someone
in Pazhaverkadu.
Could he have gone there?
No,
he won't go there without telling us.
He will be back.
Anyways we will go check there.
Okay.
Oh my god.
GOVERNMENT HIGHER SECONDARY SCHOOL
It's not bending at all.
Lord Kaathavarayan is ready for the hunt!
The Goddess is on a hunger hunt!
The enemy has no chance against him!
This is Baththa's Baththavatharam!
Eat.
Why have you kept it like that?
- I'm not hungry.
- Why?
You didn't eat anything this morning.
You didn't eat anything at Sampoornam's
house this afternoon either.
Eat!
I'm saying I don't want to!
You're going to get whacked!
You have such a puny body
because you refuse to eat!
Only when you fall sick will you realize!
People are dying of hunger,
and I'm preparing everything for you,
but you're acting so entitled!
Selvi.
Dad.
Will they die if they don't eat?
Yes. Absolutely!
Eat.
What are you doing?
Nothing!
At 8:00 a.m., you are listening
to All India Radio.
What is this?
I'll go sleep on the terrace.
Why?
It's very humid here.
I'm not getting sleep.
The fan is on right?
In spite of that it's hot.
On the terrace the breeze is very cool.
How will you sleep alone?
Everyone is sleeping there.
Okay, I'll also come.
Grandpa from the opposite house is also
sleeping there,
I'll sleep with him.
Go tell him and make him sleep there.
Where you going?
Okay, go.
Lord Muruga! Lord Muruga!
Lord Muruga! Lord Muruga!
Lord Muruga! Lord Muruga!
Lord Muruga! Lord Muruga!
Uncle

How many days have you followed me?
Open the door!

Open will you!
Who is it?
Who?
Jyoti?
Speak up!
Is it Jyoti?
Rajendra?
Selvam?
Tell me
Is it Selvam?
Singaram?
Hey! Singaram.
Pedda Kondaiah?
Are you Pedda Kondaiah's man?
I've been asking you for so long,
won't you reply?
I'll find out who you are from
your smell itself.
Hey! It's me Baththa!
Won't you answer?
If I don't get home by tonight,
The whole area will be a battlefield!
A river of blood will flow!
Guess, you have no clue about my homies,
by now they would have sniffed you out!
Whoever you are,
they will finish you and your family!
I think you've done this,
without knowing about me!
Open the door!
That's only safe for you.
Come
Come and open the door.
I'm saying this for your good.
Come
Come
Hey!
Who am I
You're giving me rusk,
like for a dog!
Gonna bloody smash you to the ground,
and hammer you to pulp!
Hey, stop!
Hey! Don't run Don't run
I won't do anything.
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Don't run Don't run
If I don't go home by tonight
The whole area will be a battlefield!
A river of blood will flow
Sabari
There is money in dad's
shirt pocket, take it.
Go buy milk and come.
Why have you woken up so early?
Just like that.
Uncle, rusk?
Come Come
You've come?
I get it now,
if you've had the guts to lock me
up in my own area,
you're no cheapskate,
Tell me what you want?
Why have you locked me up like this?
What have I done to you?
What's the point in locking me up and not
telling me anything.
Hey!
Hey!
For the past two days,
only I've been talking.
Have you spoken a single word?
Tell me!
Only if you tell me,
will I know!
Are you dumb?!
Are you dumb?
Whatever it is, we can solve it.
Hey! This is a toilet.
It stinks in various ways.
It is unbearable.
What do you want?
You don't know about Baththa.
I am a very angry man
but am equally just.
If something wrong has happened,
we can set it right.
Come.
Come and first open the door.
Come
I won't do anything to you.
I have nothing in my hand.
If you want,
go bring all your people.
Safeguard yourself.
I am not scared at all.
What?
Am I not alone?
Come, open the door.
What say?
I am respecting you and saying so much,
and you are again keeping rusk!
Open it!
What the hell do you think of yourself!
Open the door!
Hey!
Hey! Hey!
Don't run!
Don't Hey!
Don't run! Don't run!
Hey! Just wait and see what I do to you!
Just wait and see what I do to you!
You're dead!
You're dead!
If I don't thrash you and hang you
on the electric pole!
I am not Baththa!
I am not Baththa!
Hey!
Why is you're shirt soaked
in sweat like this?
I bought milk and came right?
Is it such a difficult task for you?
POLICE STATION
It's just been a day,
let's wait and see.
No sir, this has never happened before.
Either I'll know,
or they will know.
Are you suspicious of anyone?
- Yes sir.
- Who?
I suspect around 4 or 5 of them.
Especially Jyoti
Then
- Rajendran
- Rajendran
Singaram
Kodungaiyur Selvam
Then, pedda kondaiah
All the names you just mentioned,
and why you suspect them,
go give him all the details in writing.
Okay, sir.
You leave, we will take care.
Okay.
BATHTHA IS IN THE SCHOOL TOILEWithout looking around!
Don't fool around!
Crying is a mistake!
Fear is also a mistake!
Let any challenge be thrown,
You face it!
I will live with the brave heart,
I will be this country's hero!
Bravo!
Hey!
Someone's missing in the locality,
without searching for him,
they are listening to music.
Anyone at home?
Who?
What, sir?
Is Pedda kondaiah here?
Who is that?
What news?
The Sub-Inspector asked you
to meet him at the station.
You go, I'll come.
Why?
Two days, Baththa has been missing.
That's why he must be wanting to see me.
Hey!
Why you looking at me like that?
I haven't done anything.
Then
That's what I can't figure,
who has done it.
Let go, whose house are you coming and
doing what!
Why you all gawking?
If something happens to Baththa,
I will destroy you!
- For that, you have to be alive first.
- Get lost!
They don't have the balls
to catch the culprit,
they've come here!
Thenu
What?
Mom?
Dad will be back, right?
I am getting scared, Ma.
Don't get scared.
Dad will be back.
I am going on thinking of dad.
Sleep.
Just see what will happen to your
wife and children.
What are you doing?
I'll go buy milk and come.
Come
You've come?
Why are you doing this?
Who are you guys?
What have I done to you that's so bad?
At least tell me that.
Without saying anything, you're killing
me. What does this mean?
I've been trying to recollect, from my
school days,
with whom all I've had fights.
My brain's fried.
Hey! What is it? You powdering
the rusk is it?
Hey! Don't!
Open the door.
So, you're never going to open, is it?
No matter what the problem
is between you and me,
I promise I will give in.
I promise on my wife and child.
Hey!
Open the door.
Hey!
Hey! Don't go!
Don't go!
Don't go!
My wife and daughter will be so frightened
at home. Don't go.
Hey! Poor thing, my daughter!
Don't go!
Hey! Hey!
While he was seated there
Sir, a stone fell from above.
Just like your dad,
a scaredy-cat!

To blossom in her laughter.

To see everything in new light!
I yearn for!
Every new second is blossoming!
Every new second is in waiting!
It is coming alive for you.
To say something.

In unconsciousness one suffers.
In awakening life will slowly dawn!

- The news also isn't out.
It's been so many days.
Hey
Hey Please don't do this.
I'll die.
Please open the door.
I have my daughter's puberty
function coming up.
It's torturous to be alive and
not see my daughter.
What can my daughter do, for all the sins
I've committed?
I'm not asking for my sake
I'm asking for my daughter's sake
I didn't even buy flowers for my daughter
who has attained puberty.
If you too had a daughter,
and this had happened?
Think about it
I am begging you.
I won't look at you as an enemy.
My friend!
Come my friend!
My friend! Come my friend!
Come, please open the door.

Come
Listen Delhi,
it is 8 days since Baththa went missing.
I think, his chapter is over.
What happened and who did it
will come out when it has to.
Next you will be in Baththa's shoes.
Before anyone in the area sprouts,
you takeover.
The shop also has not been opened.
Lowlife!
Who you acting smart with
Delhi Delhi Delhi
Once more you say that he's dead!
I'll kill you on the spot!
Baththa will be back!
Don't need to buy milk today.
Why?
We are going to our native.
Native?
Why suddenly?
What do you mean suddenly,
don't we go every year for the
Chithirai festival.
When will we be back?
What you asking,
like it is something new.
Once your holidays are over,
and school reopens is when we get back.
Dad will be back after 5 days.
I am not coming this year.
Why?
No, I am not coming.
Not coming?
Then are you going to stay here alone?
I'll stay.
Without me and dad, how can you stay here?
One whack you'll get!
Go pack your clothes.
Ask him,
he doesn't want to come to the native?
Why don't you want to come?
No, I am not coming.
You're the one excited about
going every year.
Now what happened?
This year I am not coming.
But why?
I am not coming, that's it.
- Please stop repeating yourself.
- Hey, Selvi!
Go get ready.
If you don't come,
I'll drag you out of here.
Keep quiet.
Hey!
Why?
Simply sit, I'll come
When should we leave?
After breakfast we'll leave.
Go have your bath.
Go bathe!
Let's visit uncle's house and meet mom,

We will go meet her also.

Uncle!
Baththa's lying dead in the school toilet.
What?
What are you saying?
Hey!
Come fast!
It seems Baththa is lying dead inside.
What are you saying?
Dad.
Brother, did Sabari come here?
No!
Move aside.
Dad!
Get up, dear.
Dad!
Dear!
Dear!
GENTS TOILETHE DOOR HAS OPENED
It's him!
It's this boy!
GOVERNMENT HOSPITAL
Sister!
It's him!
Was it you?
What is your name?
Sabari.
You're not Sabari!
You're my God!
My God who I pray to,
has sent you there at the right time.
If we had brought him in a little later,
we couldn't have seen him alive.
If the child made it there
shortly after the snakebite,
it's all thanks to your goodness, Kannima.
For the past eight days,
I've prayed to every God there is.
Dear
Why did you go there?
I was playing with this toy
in the exam hall.
The teacher confiscated it
and kept it in the staff room.
I was scared to ask the teacher for it.
It had been a while since
school closed for the holidays,
so I assumed no one would be there.
That's why I went to get it.
While I was taking it,
I suddenly felt queasy
and rushed to the toilet.
Baththa was unconscious
inside the water tank.
I got scared seeing that.
I ran out and told the person
who was walking across.
Take this.
Why have you brought my son here?
Sister!
What is my son doing here?
Is this your son, Selvi?
Your son has only saved my husband,
and given him back to me.
He's the one who saw him
in the school toilet,
and has come informed the person outside.
Hey!
Why did you go there?
Tell me, come here.
Why did you go there?
Tell me.
At the exam hall,
I was playing with this toy,
The teacher confiscated it
and kept it in the staff room.
T. SABARI, III 'A'
You can go inside.
Come.
Don't cry.
The doctor said nothing is wrong.
We can go home fast.
I thought I will never see you again
Don't cry, Dad!
How did I come out?
In the school toilet,
a snake had bitten you,
the venom had spread,
and you had fainted inside the water tank.
Just on time the God I worship,
sent someone, and saved you.
Who?
Come
Go
He's the one who saw you and
came and informed.
How did you come there?
At the exam hall,
I was playing with this toy,
so I went to the toilet,
and as I opened the door,
you were there,
fallen inside the water tank.
When you came there,
did you see anyone?
Did you find out who it was?
We are investigating.
Can we talk?
The school gate was locked all the while.
The key never left the President's house.
The lock isn't broken as well.
Then how did they take you
inside the toilet?
- No one took me there, sir.
- Then?
I went there on my own.
Why did you go to school
at that unearthly hour?
Sir,
for the complaint that I was missing,
filed by my wife,
have you lodged an FIR?
I didn't file an FIR.
First I thought it's better to search
So you have not registered the complaint?
Only if you register one, can you
investigate, sir.
Drop this, I will take care.
Really?
Shall I drop it?
Look here,
your husband says he doesn't want,
to file a case.
If anything happens again,
you shouldn't come to us.
Understand?
This boy?
He's the one who saw him inside
the school toilet,
and informed someone outside.
Why did you go there?
You wait, Sabari.
Poor thing how many times
will he repeat it.
I'll tell you.
During the exams,
he was playing with this toy,
poor thing.
The teacher confiscated it and kept it in
the staff room.
Just while we are leaving to our hometown,
what is this confusion, Selvi?
What confusion!
Kannima got Baththa back alive.
That too,
because of our Sabari,
is a happy thing, right?
When he went to retrieve it,
just at the right time,
his stomach felt queasy.
A small boy has said why he went,
but you are not.
I'll take leave.
Let's go.
Why did you go there?
Who locked you inside?
I don't know.
Okay, why did you go there?
Delhi
Brother
When the time is right,
I'll tell you.
Okay, Brother
Why did you tell the police not
to file a case?
The police shouldn't catch him.
I want him.
Anyways, inform Baththa's family,
till the inspector comes back, that they
shouldn't go out of station.
Okay, sir
And also the same thing to the small boy
who saw him first.
Okay, sir.
We'll leave?
Okay, selvi.
I'll leave.
Okay
Sabari.
Come here.
Dear,
hereafter we are no longer strangers.
You're our son.
Mother
Father
Sister
Understand?
Hereafter,
we are all there for you.
Okay.
What?
Okay, go.
I'll take leave.
Brother
Do come home often.
Sure.
Okay, sit.
What?
Is the Chutney hot?
It is superb!
What did they give you to eat in there?
Tell
Rusk
For 8 days you ate only rusk?
Bloody heartless scoundrels.
8 days they gave you just rusk!
If I ever get hold of him!
Sister,
I'll find out who it is,
and see how I wreck him!
What guts,
for him to do this to our brother!
Sabari,
don't be scared,
come inside.
What is it, dear?
Here.
Brother,
before you had come out from the hospital,
I wanted to find out
who did this to you,
but I couldn't.
As far as I know,
Definitely they have hired someone,
from outside and carried out this.
Brother,
If we know why you went in there,
it will be easier to take a guess as to
who followed you.
Then the culprit will be easily caught!
There is no connection between the two.
Kannima,
get the invitation.
Why?
Let's write down the names of the invitees
for the function.
- Are we going to have the function?
- Yes
Let's not change it.
We will have it on the fixed date itself.
Why?
Let your health get better.
We can do it after that.
Nothing is wrong with me.
The minute I saw you and Thenu,
everything was fine.
We have ten days left.
Just wait and see, by then
Thenu
Dad
Write down all the names he
calls out, on this.
Okay dad, I'll get the pen.
Come
All those whom you suspect,
give the names one by one.
Why, brother?
Are you going to invite all of them?
Why, brother?
When we see them face
to face whilst inviting,
we will know who did it.
If we don't?
Then, let them come for the function.
After all a function is for everyone
to get together.
What are you saying?
Are you saying, to let go of the guy
who did this to you?
Nothing
Nothing, baby
How is that possible?
First let's find out who did it.
This is what I expected?
You go and give the invitations.
But before the function,
I will find out who it was.
Brother?
The shop?
The shop's been locked for
the past 10 days.
Let it be like that.
There is a function at home,
let's get the work going.
First we have to whitewash the whole
house.
Is it not Kannima?
Ask Gopi to come.
Okay.
Order the fairy lights and the mike
equipment.
Okay.
Come outside Look at the world.
Your world shall change!
Across the entire sky
You shall fly.
Come you old bird.
On your lips.
The laughter
Wonder who sowed that?
It's surprising your eyes.
Are brimming with tears.
Long long ago
When thee was innocent.
All that moved you then.
Is it melting in your heart now?
There was unlimited rambling.
There was unlimited ruckus.
After witnessing a lot within
You came and stood In silence?!
Is the universe cradling you?
Is your heart complimenting you?
Is happiness washing over you?
Are tears welling up?
Within you, deep down
Are the doors opening?
Without any rhyme or reason
Is your soul sensing sweetness?
Your wife
Your child.
Their blooming faces.
You must see
You Laugh
You go and embrace
The fire within shall be doused.
Towards your darkness
The Ligh
Was showered by whom?
Are your legs walking towards
an endless dawn?!
Has the angst
Eased?
Like a peacock's feather
Are the thoughts floating?
Within you
Is a small child being born?
Is Kindness
What your family
Emanates?
You got scared?
Me too.
I got very scared.
I thought it was all over.
I feel I've been reborn.
I was yearning badly to see you and our
daughter again.
I prayed to
every God to save me.
The song they played at the
Goddess Amman Temple,
The Azaan five times from the Mosque,
The Church's bell,
I heard all of it everyday.
I screamed like crazy, you know!
I doubt anyone heard it.
The value of everything is understood,
only when the end is near.
I have troubled you a lot.
- Forgive me Kannima.
- No!
Not at all.
Forgive me.
If that kid did not come,
imagine my plight.
Why you thinking of all that.
Why did you got to school at that
unearthly hour?
Kanni
Hey!
They just bought rusk and left.
- He bought it today also?
- Yes.
Which way did they go?
That way
Blue color shirt.
Eat
Hey!
Did anyone else buy?
Think carefully.
No one like you're suspecting,
just small boys buy it and go.
Can you identify who those boys are?
I don't know who those boys are.
But if I see them, I can identify!
If you see those boys again,
hold them here,
and send word to Baththa's house.
Okay.
The coconut looks too matured.
Take whatever you want and leave.
Ma'am,
would you know where Sabari's house is?
Are you asking selvi's home?
Yes, sister.
Just go inside, upstairs and the first
house on the right.
- Okay
- Hey! That's Baththa!
Selvi.
Hey! Go see who it is.
Please come.
Selvi.
Hey, Sabari.
Please come, brother and sister.
Come Thenu
Please sit.
No, no, you relax.
Hey, Sabari.
Where you going. Come here.
Come come please sit.
Come. Come.
- I'll get some water.
- How are you?
Yeah, sure.
Are you fine?
How are you? You fine?
- We are fine.
- Are you all fine?
Is it dried fish gravy?
The aroma is mesmerizing.
Always behaving like a police dog,
sniffing around.
Hey
What is this, you've called me a dog!
Question her baby, question her.
Yesterday's cooking,
is it still smelling?
Yes.
Your brother,
can be spot on about the smell,
of what was cooked even three days ago.
From your odor I will figure out
who you are.
Do come another day,
you can have a good meal.
Okay.
We are having
Thenu's puberty function,
so we came to give you the invitation.
Give me a notebook to write in. Hold this.
T.SABARI
T. Sabari,
section lll 'A'.
You're studying in the 3rd
standard, is it?
You're such a big man, is it?
What's your name, sir?
Thirunavukarasu.
Thiru - na - vu - karasu.
T. Sabari,
here, your notebook.
Get up.
Here you go.
You must come.
The first invitation is for you.
After this only for the rest.
Sabari is the reason,
why the function is happening.
Kannima
Give the 'Kumkum'.
We are going to the clothes shop,
we wanted to know,
if we can take Sabari along.
Why do you want to take him also,
not necessary, it's alright.
We are going by car.
You come Sabari.
Shall we go?
What do you say?
Okay.
What? Will you go?
If I say no,
like you're going to listen.
That too they have mentioned the car,
go and change your shirt.
Go.
Dress smartly and come,
let's go.
Hey! Sabari,
is it 'Gokul Sandal'
Talcum powder?
The fragrance is mesmerizing.
- See you, friend! Say bye
- Okay.
Bye.
Bye.
O! Trusted you to be a brother!
And he nurtured you.
As a Mother and As a Father.
He believed he was!
This is nice. You like it?
Kannima,
I seem to like it all.
Yes.
We saw another one,
in parrot green.
This is nice, parrot green.
This is beautiful, right?
- It looks beautiful.
- It's superb, baby.
It's so expensive.
So what?
It's what my daughter is going to drape
for the first time.
Thenu, you like it right?
It's nice,
but mum's saying
Forget about your mum.
You like it, right?
- Hmmm
- Then what,
take it.
Is it nice, Sabari?
Is it nice?
Shall we go up and buy clothes?
Which one do you want, Sabari?
Do you have a Safari suit?
- Yes sir.
- Take it out.
Wow!
Sabari!
Safari!
How's it?
It's in sync, right?
- Pack this.
- Okay.
What else do you want?
Nothing. Enough.
You shouldn't say that Sabari.
Take more.
At your age I used to yearn
to wear new clothes.
Even for festivals like Diwali and Pongal
I never got.
I used to love the Policeman's costume.
To buy that,
I slowly collected money,
By the time I got the whole
amount, I grew up.
Awesome!
Shake hands!
SP Chaudhary,
I'm under arrest!
- Do you have Rajiv Gandhi's costume.
- We have, sir.
Take it out.
Wow! Simply stunning!
Simply fantastic it is.
Did you like it, Sabari?
Hey,
you didn't serve crabs for him?
How will he be able to break and eat it.
- I'll do it for him.
- When?
Open your mouth.
Eat.
Hey, Baththa
Hey, it's me Aasai.
- You, is it
- Sit sit
Sit
Have you found out who it was?
No.
Don't let it slide Baththa.
Sometimes it could be someone
whom we know very well.
You're good at sniffing out people, right?
Nowadays these small fries who sprouted
yesterday,
are creating havoc.
If you suspect anyone, tell me.
I will find out just by his facial
expressions,
if he's the one who did it.
Because
I have that kinda super power.
If you need any help,
let me know, I'll come.
Your children?
Hmmm
Your son looks just like you.
Your power is so effective.
If you find out, let me know.
Won't I do it for you.
- See you, sister.
- Yes.
Water water
Delhi said we can find out
through the rusk.
They've inquired in all the shops
within the area.
Few boys have come and bought everyday.
Who are they?
Whose children?
We will know soon.
None of them.
All the 8 days that Baththa was inside,
did that boy come?
Everyday he will be there without fail in
the morning.
Did he come after Baththa was found?
After Baththa was found
He didn't come.
Then for sure it's that boy.
If we catch him,
we will get to know who did it.
Has asked a child to buy it. Pansy prick!
Come, brother.
Come Kannima.
How are you?
- I am fine. You?
- I am fine.
Sit. Please sit.
Here.
I am having a puberty function
for my daughter.
Please forget the past,
come with the family,
and bless my daughter.
You must come.
What is this
I know Thenu from when she was born.
It seems like now that I saw
her as a baby.
And you're telling me she's
attained puberty.
In between so much has happened.
Why are you talking about that.
Why are you talking about that.
This is a function in our house.
We will rock it.
- Sit down, Baththa.
- Sit down.
- Lachamma, get them coffee.
- Okay.
No, no
we don't want.
He will say that, you go bring the coffee.
But you know about me, Baththa.
You've come all the way to my house,
and are inviting me.
But your men,
are suspecting me,
and doing unwanted stuff.
It's not that
I am not angry with you.
Bloody bugger, to keep you in the
bathroom,
play, like children?
Why are you going on talking
about the past?
Shut up!
Forgive me.
Have some sweet, Baththa.
A miniscule anchor.
Cause it does its job.
A ship doesn't sail.
Anything I touch erupts victoriously.
But this one I'm unable to unravel.
On the coming 18th I am having,
my daughter's puberty function.
Please come with the family.
Take the fruits and give the plate.
18th I am having the function,
do come with your family.
I am having my daughter's puberty
function,
the coming 18th.
Come and take part.
You don't want the fruits?
What are you thinking?
They didn't do it.
It's someone else.
How do you know?
If it were them, they wouldn't have kept
me for 8 days.
The minute they locked me, they would have
finished me.
If he has locked me for 8 days and given
me just rusk,
he has had another plan.
Which just about failed.
He's not a normal guy like these
He's a very dangerous fellow.
The fragile heart, suspects whom?
The one I fed milk and nurtured, is
kicking my bosom
I've lost the key and am searching for
the lock.
The traitor should be destroyed along
with his tribe.
No clue as to what the issue is
This is like hide n seek,
catch the right guy.
All this drama for this one guy
You being a nobody have.
Put your hands inside
The King Cobra's anthill.
The way I am gonna punch you
Blood will ooze from your mouth.
The game is almost over
We gonna find you.
You search and you hide.
You run and you disappear
Holding your breath.
You suffer as you are at the very edge!
If you get caught with the
perfect proof.
In the basement you will be
thrown into.
Let any problem arise.
Like a lonely tree.
You should stand alone.
You shouldn't runaway in fear
I am seething with anger.
If you get caught
You're finished!
In fury Furiously.
It's at its peak.
A King in his hunger goes
hunting for a rat.
If he finds you now.
- You are finished.
- Hey, Sabari!
A King in his hunger goes
hunting for a rat.
If he finds you now.
You are finished.
Sabari
Come
Hey!
Come
Thenu, wants to go watch a film.
Will you come?
What is it?
Why do you always look frightened?
Any problem?
No?
Anything tell me, okay.
I'm there.
What? What are you guys
doing here?
We are looking for the boy
who bought rusk.
You're still looking for the boy who
bought rusk?
Yes.
Brother
Brother, come here.
- Hello, Brother.
- Hello.
Sabari.
Come let's go tell your mother.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Come
As though they'll let that boy roam free
around town?
Won't they know if we find him,
we'll find them.
- That's right
- Yes, it seems!
- You go, do your work.
- Okay.
Ma ma ma
Wait.
Come in, Sister.
Dad!
What happened dad?
What happened?
I am asking you, what happened?
Nothing, brother.
I fell down.
- Fell down?
- Yes.
Tell the truth.
What happened?
- He's asking you, right.
- Tell him.
Selvi
You tell me.
At work one rogue has hit him.
He is always bullying him.
Today cause it was unbearable,
he retaliated.
So that guy kicked up a fight,
and beat him up badly.
He's taken the beating and come.
Who is it?
Where is he now?
Tell me
No, let's leave it.
Leave it and?
Get beaten like this?
Don't we need to give it back?
Thirunavukarasu,
where is he now?
Tell me.
Sabari
Do you know where your father works?
Brother
I'll also come.
Who hit you?
Is it him?
Is it him?
You got it, right
Now give it back!
What?
You're laughing!
Don't Don't
Thiruna!
You're laughing
You're laughing
You're laughing
Stop it!
Stop it!
Stop it!
Why are you beating up my laborer?
Who are you?
Your laborer has hit one of his coworkers.
Did you hit him?
If you ask the man who hit him,
he'll deny it!
Ask the guy who got hit!
Look at his face!
Did he hit you?
Tell him!
No, sir.
What about these wounds?
I had a fall, sir.
He's denying it.
Why are you needlessly...
Get going, all of you.
Get back to work.
Sabari.
Go tell Kannima and Thenu that
I've asked them to come downstairs.
Brother
Brother
Brother
Forgive me.
If I had said yes,
the manager would have sacked him.
He's a family man.
Due to his mistakes,
why should his wife and children suffer?
See you.
G. SONAIMUTHU COOKER, MIXER,
AND GAS STOVE SERVICE CENTER
Nothing
Who is it?
Isn't Jyothi here?
Who?
Hitting you the other day,
I was wrong.
Forgive me, Jyothi.
I behaved very badly,
forgive me.
On the coming 18th, I am having my
daughter's puberty function.
You must come.
Here.
Baby.
Why you coming,
looking so flustered?
Where did you go early in the morning?
I woke up and you weren't there.
I went to Jyothi's house.
To Jyothi's house?
Hmmm
Why did you go to Jyothi's house
at this hour?
We've invited all our foes,
he was the only one left.
If he wakes up in the morning
and goes out.
That's why, I went to his house,
apologized to him,
and invited him.
You apologized?
Nothing.
Yesterday the guy who hit
Thirunavukarasu, right,
his wife and children weren't there.
But he was able to think about them.
The other day when I thrashed
Jyothi at the market,
His wife fell at my feet and begged.
His daughter was standing there and
weeping profusely.
I couldn't care a damn about them.
I felt like going to Jyothi's house and,
apologizing to Jyothi's wife and daughter.
I saw them, apologized,
and invited them.
What did they say?
Will know only if they come
for the function.
For a few days you please don't go
anywhere alone.
I'll come with you,
or at least take Delhi or Durai.
Brother,
I want to tell you something.
I was the one who locked
you inside the toilet.
Why you not treating me?
We don't serve all that at the function.
You shouldn't drink.
Once you are drunk you are unbearable.
Then we cannot control you.
Come come
Brother.
-Come, brother.
-Come, Sabari.
- Here.
- Sabari,
you've come alone
What do you want?
This
- Enough enough
- Go, eat.
Go sit and eat.
Thenu
Coming
Uncle,
there will be people thronging the stage.
It should be really strong okay?
Hey! Uncle!
- Brother.
- What is it?
Brother,
Selvam's out?
Okay.
Hold this.
- Annamalai
- Brother.
Here
The petromax light here is not working.
Go check and come.
Kannima,
Selvam's come out of jail only yesterday.
Let me go and invite him.
Okay, don't go alone.
Take Delhi with you.
- Brother? Where to?
- What?
Just nearby.
Shall we also come?
Don't want.
I'll go and come.
Okay.
THENMOAZHI
Shall I also come?
Come.
Hey!
Shall we go?
I'll be back.
Brother,
Come.
-Give me betel leaves for 50 paise,
-Okay.
- And fruits for one and a half rupees.
- Okay.
Sabari,
why you standing here?
Will you eat 'Murukku'?
You don't want?
Anything else?
You don't want anything?
Why?
Why you looking troubled, Sabari?
Nothing
Nothing?
Hey Kid
Hey Kid
He is?
My boy only
Why?
Even he used to come and
buy rusk everyday.
Assuming it's this kid,
Delhi and me have been unnecessarily,
searching all over the area.
Kid, shall I pack some rusk?
You like rusk a lot, is it?
Even I like it a lot.
When I was young,
I was like you.
The guy who locked me up
inside the bathroom,
gave me only rusk for 8 days.
On seeing the rusk at the tea shop,
those memories came back,
and my head started spinning.
Hereafter in my life,
not just never eating rusk,
I can't even look at it,
that's what he's done.
Till the very end, who is he?
Why did he do it?
What did he do it for? I guess we may
never get to know.
I am completely confused
thinking about it, Sabari.
Tender Ice-apple will be very tasty.
Open your mouth.
What happened?
Why you crying, Sabari?
Huh?
What happened?
Oh no!
Told you my story and made you cry.
It's nothing,
don't cry.
I am fine, isn't it?
Brother
I didn't purposely keep rusk.
I had money only to buy that.
The one who locked you inside
the school toilet,
was was me.
I told you,
when I went to take the toy,
I I opened the toilet door
I told you, that you were lying in the
water tank, right
That's a lie.
I said that in fear.
At school after I took the toy,
and after I finished going to the toilet,
I went to check if all the
doors were locked.
I went to check if the toilet
door was locked.
It wasn't locked.
I locked it and I was just leaving.
You knocked at the door.
I came to open it
But you said
Hey! I am Baththa!
Open the door!
If you don't open the door,
I will kill you!
I heard that and got scared!
The other day,
when you were seated at the tea shop,
I was flying a kite on the terrace.
By mistake my hand slipped
and hit a stone,
that fell on you.
I was like what happened and looked down.
You looked at me and said,
Come down, I'll kill you.
You said that.
That's why,
I didn't open the door.
If I had opened the door,
I was scared you would kill me,
my father and mother
The police came and questioned.
I got even more scared.
That's why that's why
I didn't tell anyone.
You shouldn't be without eating,
so everyday I bought rusk from that
uncle's shop,
and gave it to you.
One day my mother said we have to leave,
to our native for the festival.
If I go to my native,
who will keep food for you
So somehow I gathered the courage,
I opened the door and went in,
you were lying in the water tank.
I thought you had died.
I ran outside and told one person
After I came to know you had survived,
I was so happy.
I thought of telling you,
but I was scared you would kill me.
After I started spending time with you,
only I came to know,
that you're not like that.
You, Kannima aunty and Thenmozhi sister,
were so affectionate towards me
Don't get scared.
Go back.
You hit me in front of everyone,
and then you come home and invite me.
Will I spare you!
Die.
Brother!
Hold him!
Brother!
Sabari.
Sabari go
Sabari
- Sabari go
- Throw him there.
- Brother!
- Hey!
Sabari go
Hey! Carry him.
Brother!
Go, Sabari!
Come!
Kill him!
I'll take the blame.
Why you hesitating?
Kill him!
Come.
What happened?
Everyone's sleeping,
let's go inside and talk.
Sabari?
Sabari, is it?
Durai has gone to drop Sabari home.
What happened?
Jyothi!
You just see what happens to him.
He's the one who locked him
in the school toilet.
It's not him.
How you saying that?
Then who?
I know it's not him.
You don't know who did it,
but you know it's not him.
How's that?
You're hiding something from me.
You have spared the guy,
who came with henchmen to kill you.
What's happening?
Why you went to school, that day,
at that time,
You're not telling us!
You're not right
What do you mean not right?
You're not like before.
You've changed.
You're asking us to not open the shop.
You're inviting all unnecessary people.
If you were the same as before, will
Jyothi have the guts?
The fear of you in the area has gone.
You're not alright.
What is not right?
Hey! Kannima.
Leave it.
You want to go indulge
in rowdyism like before,
and get drunk and roam around, isn't it?
No, sister!
In all these years,
only now he's alright.
Go
Now you want to
Sister, I never said that.
Hey! Even she's not saying that.
Come
I didn't mean to say that
Don't you know her
Don't cry.
Look at me,
I hit him,
he hit me.
- Okay.
- The problem is over.
Let's not make this bigger.
What?
Okay.
Let's do the work for the
function happily.
Okay.
-Go.
-Okay, I am leaving, sister.
I told you not to go alone.
Don't be scared.
I know who locked me up in the toilet.
Who?
Sabari.
Sabari?
Which Sabari?
Our sabari?
Lift me.
That small kid,
has been suffering all these days.
I have been such a disgusting person.
I can't understand.
Sabari.
Give.
Sit.
You went to school to take this?
Why did you go there?
Shall I tell you?
My first memory is of me singing
to my mother.
I would've been 2 or 3 years then.
She used to love my singing.
When I finished singing she
will hug and kiss me.
She contracted a disease and
died very early.
After that whenever I heard a song, I
thought of my mother.
I used to sing along with it.
My father used to be drunk
and fallen somewhere.
My only companion were the songs.
I used to keep singing.
When the whole town is asleep
My night is awake
When the whole world laughs
The moon that weeps.
DEIVATHIN DEIVAM
If I get any money,
I will immediately go and buy
a lyric book.
When I was in the 8th
The garden on the banks of the Ganges.
Virgin women flock.
Lord Kannan in the midst.
O! o! o!
I liked Jayanthi a lot.
That day when Jayanthi sang that song
You fell in love is it?
Hey
Sabari
Who is singing next?
Floating clouds
Listen to one word.
To my restless soul.
You offer the comfort.
The vibrant peacock rules.
In that Epic I am King.
Enough, go
My heart broke.
After that,
I did not have the courage to sing in
front of anyone.
Why that teacher,
stopped me half way,
I understood only later.
At that young age,
if someone sings a love song,
with so much intensity,
which teacher won't stop it.
I selected the wrong song.
Once I understood that,
I got interested again.
Any song I listen to,
I will imagine myself holding a mike, and
singing that song,
When I was in the 10th standard,
at our 'Amman' Temple, for the first
time, they organized a music concert.
A few people from the area,
went and asked and sang a song on stage.
Even I wanted to go on stage and hold the
mike and sing.
Hesitatingly I went and finally asked,
and sang on the stage.
A new sky
A new land
A new sky
A new land
A shower of dew drops glowing
everywhere.
When I come.
To welcome me.
A shower of colorful flowers.
A new sky
A new land
A shower of dew drops
glowing everywhere.
- Get down.
- Ask him to get down.
Only that day I realized,
that the teacher didn't stop me
cause of the song,
but would have stopped me if
I had sung any song.
After that in the area everyone,
A new sky
A new land
A new sky
I went and sang with so much passion,
They teased me Shamed me,
and killed the singer in me.
At one point I really lost my temper.
'See what I do to all of you' kind
of anger.
The biggest mistake I made,
consumed by anger I went
and joined a rowdy gang.
I thrashed everyone who teased me.
I thought everyone in the area,
should get scared at the sight of me.
Just like that my life changed.
I never sang after that.
After I got married to Kannima,
I sang only to her.
Whilst the breeze sleeps.
Whilst the sun sleeps.
Will my eyes sleep.
Will my love laden eyes sleep.
Dear
My love
Only others should get scared of me.
No,
if you don't sing,
I won't get scared.
Thenu was born.
Whenever I got time, I only used to sing
and put her to sleep.
Thenu has grown a little bit.
- She keeps melting into her baby language
- Are you crazy or what? Stop singing.
- It's nothing.
- Don't sing daddy
- It's nothing.
- Don't sing daddy
- It's nothing.
- Don't sing daddy
That was the last time.
After that,
at home, in the area,
I couldn't sing anywhere.
After I fixed the music troupe for Thenu's
function and came,
M.G.R.'s film was playing on Television,
I saw a man holding a mike and singing.
M.G.R. will be looking at him with
a sense of longing.
My heart yearned to sing again.
But this time,
I wanted to practice properly,
and sing in such a way that
everyone's stunned.
I was thinking about what do.
School closed for the holidays.
I thought I can practice there,
and slyly went to school.
I wanted to go to the toilet.
So I thought let's go and then come.
You locked the door.
Okay
I realized that God himself
didn't like me to sing.
Sabari.
Only Kannima and Thenu,
now you know about this.
If everyone comes to know, Baththa went
inside the school,
to sing, and this happened,
I feared they will mock me in the area.
I am already very hurt
regarding this issue.
I won't be able to bear it
anymore, Sabari.
Understood?
Yes, don't tell anyone.
Then when you sing in the evening, it
won't be a surprise.
Why am I going to sing in the evening
Why?
I haven't practiced.
You're singing well only
When did you hear?
Just now a little while ago,
when you were in the 8th standard,
you sang a song in school, isn't it?
It was superb.
Was it good?
I can sing the stanza even better.
The teacher stopped me half way.
Sing in the evening.
Even Kannima aunty and.
Thenmozhi sister, will be thinking you're
not going to sing.
It will be a surprise for them also.
So you think I should sing?
What if they mock me again?
Don't stop this time, complete it.
Hello brother.
- Baththa.
- Please come.

Welcome sir
Greetings, sir. Thanks.

isn't it. This is her.
This is Jayanthi.
What?
Sit.
Green parrot, pearl necklace,
jasmine vine who is she?
One minute.
Call Baththa, let's take a
photograph together.
He
- One minute, Sister.
- Okay.

- No I didn't.
I haven't seen him.
- You go and look there.
- Okay, I'll check.

Oh my!
Let this fear be there!
Lord 'Kaathavarayan'

The Goddess is on a hunger hunt!

This is Baththa's 'Baththavatharam'!
GOVERNMENT HIGHER SECONDARY SCHOOL
Hey Sabari!
Why you looking dull?
Baththa beat the hell out
of my neighbor Jyoti!
Jyoti's body was covered in blood!
Baththa broke Jyoti's hand!
Jyoti would have triggered
Baththa, that's why.
One person I knew,
was casually sitting in his house,
and asked 'As if Baththa
is such a big shot?'
No idea how that reached Baththa's ears.
That very evening he came.
Smashed his ribs and stuffed him under his
armpit and left!
Hey! Even in my street,
one man,
when Baththa was passing by, he was just
singing a song,
don't know what Baththa thought,
he got down from his bike,
came and thrashed him and dumped
him in the trash can.
When Baththa is around,
no one will even sing.
When Baththa is around no
one will even sing.
In his terrace he has a cage,
where he keeps a lion!
Really?
Yes. One day my dad and me were returning
after seeing,
the night show at Natraj theater.
I saw him and his lion pissing
on the Electric transformer!
Is that why there are frequent power cuts?
No one can do anything to him.
Once the police caught him
and put him in jail,
he broke all the jail bars,
flung it and came out.
Everyone is petrified of him,
but he is not scared of anything.
After the thrashing you gave, the
entire area is scared out of their wits.
If he wants to put another shop near ours,
what guts he must have!
Will anyone come ever again!
What you said was correct.
That fear should be there.
Otherwise we had it.
These new pricks who sprouted yesterday,
will walk around strutting their chests,
should we watch and keep quiet!
Now and then we should do
something like this,
otherwise they show us their true colors.
No
Even after so much has happened,
Jyoti hasn't filed a police complaint.
Maybe he is planning something else?
Bullshit!
The way he was battered,
he will never dream of coming near
Baththa!
PATIENTS SHOULD TAKE
THEIR MEDICATION ON TIME
Jyoti,
Baththa won't let us live.
Only if we finish him,
can we survive.
I will organize some really
experienced hands.
We can finish the job smoothly.
Thenu
Dad.
Watching TV, is it?
Watch Watch
Kannimaa
What?
Hey!
You have hit him so badly.
Have you gone crazy?
What if he had died?
That's the only thing you
haven't done yet.
Do that also and go to jail.
When you fell in love with me,
what did you say?
I said you were beautiful
You keep doing this.
One day or the other,
won't they take revenge?
What if something happens to you?
Do you even think of us?
Hey! This is Baththa!
Baththa!
Who has the guts to finish me!
Dad!
Don't simply act dad.
This is what I sang as well.
What is this?
Can't you see what it is?
Tomato chutney.
Same crap every day?
What do you mean everyday?
Yesterday it was fish curry.
The day before it was intestine gravy.
What is wrong if you have chutney today?
Shall I serve or no?
Serve!
Dad!
You sit.
It's so sweet.
For years you've been making this chutney,
and still you don't know how much tomato,
how much onion,
and how many green chilies are required.
Yet, you have such a big mouth!
It's gonna be only
tomato chutney to my grave.
Ma, give it here.
It's nice only, dad.
Wait, I'll make something else.
Hey!
You have to go outside now and
get wasted, isn't it?
Why you talking to yourself?
Give me one strong tea.
Rusk?
Hey!
Who the heck is that?
What the
I'll kill you!
Brother!
Brother!
It must have been a crow.
Come here.
Come.
No brother! No brother!
I said it by mistake.
It's the stone that held the clothes.
I have my doubts.
Baththa left.
You don't spare anyone and fight with
everyone in the area,
stones are bound to fall.
The Area's Only Don! Everything is
under his control, The Leader!
Baththa has to dart a look
That look propels the story.
If he lifts his collar
The rampage will begin
If you plan to oppose him
No one can escape.
The heart will stop
All you loitering wastrels.
Move aside you nincompoops
Always thrashed only big guns!
Never touched small fry
Forget the Bravado.
One glare you would be doused.
Once he exhibits his prowess.
You losers will come to your senses.
Don't you dare come here
Don't forget who HE is!
Don't play sly games.
Don't get caught and be doomed.
Don't play sly games
Don't forget who HE is!
Don't you dare come and argue.
If he punches, you'd be minced.
If you get caught
you'd be mentally screwed.
If you get attached to him
He will like you very much.
He will like you very much.
If you get caught you'd be mentally
screwed.
If you get close to him
If he punches, you'd be minced.
You're gonna under estimate him.
And touch him
You losers roaming around, showing off.
Will be dead with no proof
You're gonna under estimate him.
And touch him.
If you decide to hunt him you're doomed,
Pray to the Lord!
You will Tremble at the sound of His
name You losers.
No matter what the scale of the rampage
is He will stand alone!
Don't trigger him,
you'd be destroyed.
You'd become dust.
You will shiver and shudder
You sidekick losers.
Don't you dare come here
Don't forget who HE is!
Don't play sly games.
Don't get caught and be doomed.
Don't play sly games.
Don't forget who HE is!
Don't you dare come and argue.
No need for weapons.
Everything shall happen with His Hands!
If you get caught
One punch and your ears will turn red!
He's no normal guy
A gang will assemble for him.
Our Leader's Tribe, every member is
Super Sharp.
Don't jump around with arrogance
The Area's Only Don!
Everything is under his control,
The Leader!
Baththa has to dart a look
That look propels the story.
If he lifts his collar
The rampage will begin
If you plan to oppose him.
No one can escape
The heart will stop.
You're gonna under estimate him
And touch him.
You losers roaming around showing off
Will be dead with no proof.
Kannima!
Hey! Kannima!
You're here is it!
I've been calling you.
What is this?
Is this how a house should be?
Where have you been since the morning?
Where all do we have to search for you?
You shouldn't search for me.
I'll be found on my own!
That's Baththa!
Why did you search for me?
Why did you search for me?
What is it
When?
- Thenu
- Don't wake her up.
From the morning she's been
asking for you.
She just slept.
My daughter!
Hey, Thenu
You are going next to her, stinking
of liquor, go.
See her in the morning, now go.
This whole area will be stunned
by the way I conduct,
my daughter's puberty function.
Wait and see.
This is a promise.
Go
Go!
There is an auspicious date in May,
let me check and tell you.
Okay.
What are you doing?
Is this the place to play?
Have you finished writing?
Leave.
Go, now.
When you have finished so fast,
what could you have possibly written!
Hand it over one by one.
Sabari! You haven't left?
The toy is with the teacher
Oh! You better stay, get it and go.
After this, we go into the 4th standard.
It might get lost during the holidays.
Ma'am
Ma'am
-You're cheating in my presence itself,
-Sir
- I won't do it from now on, sir.
- What guts you've got!
Even before the peak summer sets in, the
heat is scorching!
Yes!
It's unbearable, it might just kill us!
You know what,
yesterday our school watchman Govind,
couldn't bear the heat, he felt dizzy and
fainted.
He was lying there unconscious
for a long time,
finally, milkman Babu who
was passing by saw him,
with the help of a few others, he put him
into a rickshaw,
and took him to The General Hospital!
Nothing serious, right?
Nothing life threatening, it seems.
Poor guy, don't know if he will be able to
go for work again.
Why was he lying there unconscious for a
long time?
Didn't anyone from school see him?
School closed for the holidays
two weeks ago.
Guess the staff had finished all their
work, no one was there.
He was alone.
Till the school reopens no one has any
work that side.
Why have you unnecessarily booked a light
music orchestra?
Can't you allow me watch in peace?
Keep believing.
Tomorrow is ours.
Today is ours too.

You better open it.
Where did you go?
I just went out.
Mister, what work did you have, to go out
early in the morning?
Went to play.
Who is coming at this hour to play?
No one came,
that's why I got back.
How silly! I've been searching for you.
I made tea for you, it's growing cold,
drink it up.
Once the police caught him and
put him in jail,
he broke all the jail bars,
flung it and came out.
GENTS TOILEBaththa!
Hey!
You haven't had the tea.
KEEP THE TOILET CLEAN

Is this a toilet or a safe?
Why such a door?
Who is this?
If I catch you
Shameless rouge!
Oh! My leg!
Welcome
You'd say that, wouldn't you?
Ask anyone you want in the area.
Others know me well, too.
After her you go.
Okay, Sister
- Hey, Selvi.
- Yes, sister.
Hey, Kannima.
Baththa hasn't come?
No.
He went out in the morning,
didn't say where he was going.
We waited and waited,
then Thenu and me got ready and came.
He told me he will definitely come.
Where did he go without telling you?
He's like that.
He never tells me anything.
If he told me, I will be in peace, right!
If he's like others, then it's fine.
He won't stay out of trouble.
Why you unnecessarily overthinking?
Just wait and see, he will be here before
the function gets over.
Alright, you wait, I'll be back.
Okay, sister
Here.
- Do you want?
- Yes.
If you need anything ask, Selvi.
- Delhi, there is no rice here.
- I'm coming.
Durai
Take the 'Rasam'.
For you?
Enough.
Rice?
I don't want.
Just eat.
He's been missing since morning.
Do you guys know where he
could have gone?
Don't know, Sister.
He left without saying anything.
We'll look for him, Sister
It's around one in the afternoon.
April 26th.
Saturday. Jesus
Hey! Baththa here!
I'm inside the school bathroom!
Someone come and open this door!
I am Baththa speaking!
Can anyone hear me?
Someone better hear me!
Delhi!
I've looked everywhere,
he's not anywhere.
He used to go see someone
in Pazhaverkadu.
Could he have gone there?
No,
he won't go there without telling us.
He will be back.
Anyways we will go check there.
Okay.
Oh my god.
GOVERNMENT HIGHER SECONDARY SCHOOL
It's not bending at all.
Lord Kaathavarayan is ready for the hunt!
The Goddess is on a hunger hunt!
The enemy has no chance against him!
This is Baththa's Baththavatharam!
Eat.
Why have you kept it like that?
- I'm not hungry.
- Why?
You didn't eat anything this morning.
You didn't eat anything at Sampoornam's
house this afternoon either.
Eat!
I'm saying I don't want to!
You're going to get whacked!
You have such a puny body
because you refuse to eat!
Only when you fall sick will you realize!
People are dying of hunger,
and I'm preparing everything for you,
but you're acting so entitled!
Selvi.
Dad.
Will they die if they don't eat?
Yes. Absolutely!
Eat.
What are you doing?
Nothing!
At 8:00 a.m., you are listening
to All India Radio.
What is this?
I'll go sleep on the terrace.
Why?
It's very humid here.
I'm not getting sleep.
The fan is on right?
In spite of that it's hot.
On the terrace the breeze is very cool.
How will you sleep alone?
Everyone is sleeping there.
Okay, I'll also come.
Grandpa from the opposite house is also
sleeping there,
I'll sleep with him.
Go tell him and make him sleep there.
Where you going?
Okay, go.

Hey! It's me Baththa!
Won't you answer?
If I don't get home by tonight,
The whole area will be a battlefield!
A river of blood will flow!
Guess, you have no clue about my homies,
by now they would have sniffed you out!
Whoever you are,
they will finish you and your family!
I think you've done this,
without knowing about me!
Open the door!
That's only safe for you.
Come
Come and open the door.
I'm saying this for your good.
Come
Come
Hey!
Who am I
You're giving me rusk,
like for a dog!
Gonna bloody smash you to the ground,
and hammer you to pulp!
Hey, stop!
Hey! Don't run Don't run
I won't do anything.
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Don't run Don't run
If I don't go home by tonight
The whole area will be a battlefield!
A river of blood will flow
Sabari
There is money in dad's
shirt pocket, take it.
Go buy milk and come.
Why have you woken up so early?
Just like that.
Uncle, rusk?
Come Come
You've come?
I get it now,
if you've had the guts to lock me
up in my own area,
you're no cheapskate,
Tell me what you want?
Why have you locked me up like this?
What have I done to you?
What's the point in locking me up and not
telling me anything.
Hey!
Hey!
For the past two days,
only I've been talking.
Have you spoken a single word?
Tell me!
Only if you tell me,
will I know!
Are you dumb?!
Are you dumb?
Whatever it is, we can solve it.
Hey! This is a toilet.
It stinks in various ways.
It is unbearable.
What do you want?
You don't know about Baththa.
I am a very angry man
but am equally just.
If something wrong has happened,
we can set it right.
Come.
Come and first open the door.
Come
I won't do anything to you.
I have nothing in my hand.
If you want,
go bring all your people.
Safeguard yourself.
I am not scared at all.
What?
Am I not alone?
Come, open the door.
What say?
I am respecting you and saying so much,
and you are again keeping rusk!
Open it!
What the hell do you think of yourself!
Open the door!
Hey!
Hey! Hey!
Don't run!
Don't Hey!
Don't run! Don't run!
Hey! Just wait and see what I do to you!
Just wait and see what I do to you!
You're dead!
You're dead!
If I don't thrash you and hang you
on the electric pole!
I am not Baththa!
I am not Baththa!
Hey!
Why is you're shirt soaked
in sweat like this?
I bought milk and came right?
Is it such a difficult task for you?
POLICE STATION
It's just been a day,
let's wait and see.
No sir, this has never happened before.
Either I'll know,
or they will know.
Are you suspicious of anyone?
- Yes sir.
- Who?
I suspect around 4 or 5 of them.
Especially Jyoti
Then
- Rajendran
- Rajendran
Singaram
Kodungaiyur Selvam
Then, pedda kondaiah
All the names you just mentioned,
and why you suspect them,
go give him all the details in writing.
Okay, sir.
You leave, we will take care.
Okay.
BATHTHA IS IN THE SCHOOL TOILEWithout looking around!
Don't fool around!
Crying is a mistake!
Fear is also a mistake!
Let any challenge be thrown,
You face it!
I will live with the brave heart,
I will be this country's hero!
Bravo!
Hey!
Someone's missing in the locality,
without searching for him,
they are listening to music.
Anyone at home?
Who?
What, sir?
Is Pedda kondaiah here?
Who is that?
What news?
The Sub-Inspector asked you
to meet him at the station.
You go, I'll come.
Why?
Two days, Baththa has been missing.
That's why he must be wanting to see me.
Hey!
Why you looking at me like that?
I haven't done anything.
Then
That's what I can't figure,
who has done it.
Let go, whose house are you coming and
doing what!
Why you all gawking?
If something happens to Baththa,
I will destroy you!
- For that, you have to be alive first.
- Get lost!
They don't have the balls
to catch the culprit,
they've come here!
Thenu
What?
Mom?
Dad will be back, right?
I am getting scared, Ma.
Don't get scared.
Dad will be back.
I am going on thinking of dad.
Sleep.
Just see what will happen to your
wife and children.
What are you doing?
I'll go buy milk and come.
Come
You've come?
Why are you doing this?
Who are you guys?
What have I done to you that's so bad?
At least tell me that.
Without saying anything, you're killing
me. What does this mean?
I've been trying to recollect, from my
school days,
with whom all I've had fights.
My brain's fried.
Hey! What is it? You powdering
the rusk is it?
Hey! Don't!
Open the door.
So, you're never going to open, is it?
No matter what the problem
is between you and me,
I promise I will give in.
I promise on my wife and child.
Hey!
Open the door.
Hey!
Hey! Don't go!
Don't go!
Don't go!
My wife and daughter will be so frightened
at home. Don't go.
Hey! Poor thing, my daughter!
Don't go!
Hey! Hey!
While he was seated there
Sir, a stone fell from above.
Just like your dad,
a scaredy-cat!
Thenu

4 DAYS LATER
MURDER OF A PRISONER IN A CENTRAL PRISON
Take it.
- Baththa also hasn't come.
- Dad.
- Enough Dad.
- The news also isn't out.
It's been so many days.
Hey
Hey Please don't do this.
I'll die.
Please open the door.
I have my daughter's puberty
function coming up.
It's torturous to be alive and
not see my daughter.
What can my daughter do, for all the sins
I've committed?
I'm not asking for my sake
I'm asking for my daughter's sake
I didn't even buy flowers for my daughter
who has attained puberty.
If you too had a daughter,
and this had happened?
Think about it
I am begging you.
I won't look at you as an enemy.
My friend!
Come my friend!
My friend! Come my friend!
Come, please open the door.
My friend
My friend, don't go.
Open the door, my friend.
Please open the door, my friend.
I can't stay without seeing my daughter,

Leave him Baththa!
KANNIYAMMA THENMOZHI
Kannima,

I am still alive.
I'll be back Kannima.
Look after Thenu carefully.
Take care of Thenu
Take care of her.
Ma, where are we going?
Come
Listen Delhi,
it is 8 days since Baththa went missing.
I think, his chapter is over.
What happened and who did it
will come out when it has to.
Next you will be in Baththa's shoes.
Before anyone in the area sprouts,
you takeover.
The shop also has not been opened.
Lowlife!
Who you acting smart with
Delhi Delhi Delhi
Once more you say that he's dead!
I'll kill you on the spot!
Baththa will be back!
Don't need to buy milk today.
Why?
We are going to our native.
Native?
Why suddenly?
What do you mean suddenly,
don't we go every year for the
Chithirai festival.
When will we be back?
What you asking,
like it is something new.
Once your holidays are over,
and school reopens is when we get back.
Dad will be back after 5 days.
I am not coming this year.
Why?
No, I am not coming.
Not coming?
Then are you going to stay here alone?
I'll stay.
Without me and dad, how can you stay here?
One whack you'll get!
Go pack your clothes.
Ask him,
he doesn't want to come to the native?
Why don't you want to come?
No, I am not coming.
You're the one excited about
going every year.
Now what happened?
This year I am not coming.
But why?
I am not coming, that's it.
- Please stop repeating yourself.
- Hey, Selvi!
Go get ready.
If you don't come,
I'll drag you out of here.
Keep quiet.
Hey!
Why?
Simply sit, I'll come
When should we leave?
After breakfast we'll leave.
Go have your bath.
Go bathe!
Let's visit uncle's house and meet mom,
she's been unwell for long.
We will go meet her also.
Okay.
T.SABARI III 'A'
Brother
Brother
Brother
Brother
Uncle!
Baththa's lying dead in the school toilet.
What?
What are you saying?
Hey!
Come fast!
It seems Baththa is lying dead inside.
What are you saying?
Dad.
Brother, did Sabari come here?
No!
Move aside.
Dad!
Get up, dear.
Dad!
Dear!
Dear!
GENTS TOILETHE DOOR HAS OPENED
It's him!
It's this boy!
GOVERNMENT HOSPITAL
Sister!
It's him!
Was it you?
What is your name?
Sabari.
You're not Sabari!
You're my God!
My God who I pray to,
has sent you there at the right time.
If we had brought him in a little later,
we couldn't have seen him alive.
If the child made it there
shortly after the snakebite,
it's all thanks to your goodness, Kannima.
For the past eight days,
I've prayed to every God there is.
Dear
Why did you go there?
I was playing with this toy
in the exam hall.
The teacher confiscated it
and kept it in the staff room.
I was scared to ask the teacher for it.
It had been a while since
school closed for the holidays,
so I assumed no one would be there.
That's why I went to get it.
While I was taking it,
I suddenly felt queasy
and rushed to the toilet.
Baththa was unconscious
inside the water tank.
I got scared seeing that.
I ran out and told the person
who was walking across.
Take this.
Why have you brought my son here?
Sister!
What is my son doing here?
Is this your son, Selvi?
Your son has only saved my husband,
and given him back to me.
He's the one who saw him
in the school toilet,
and has come informed the person outside.
Hey!
Why did you go there?
Tell me, come here.
Why did you go there?
Tell me.
At the exam hall,
I was playing with this toy,
The teacher confiscated it
and kept it in the staff room.
T. SABARI, III 'A'
You can go inside.
Come.
Don't cry.
The doctor said nothing is wrong.
We can go home fast.
I thought I will never see you again
Don't cry, Dad!
How did I come out?
In the school toilet,
a snake had bitten you,
the venom had spread,
and you had fainted inside the water tank.
Just on time the God I worship,
sent someone, and saved you.
Who?
Come
Go
He's the one who saw you and
came and informed.
How did you come there?
At the exam hall,
I was playing with this toy,
so I went to the toilet,
and as I opened the door,
you were there,
fallen inside the water tank.
When you came there,
did you see anyone?
Did you find out who it was?
We are investigating.
Can we talk?
The school gate was locked all the while.
The key never left the President's house.
The lock isn't broken as well.
Then how did they take you
inside the toilet?
- No one took me there, sir.
- Then?
I went there on my own.
Why did you go to school
at that unearthly hour?
Sir,
for the complaint that I was missing,
filed by my wife,
have you lodged an FIR?
I didn't file an FIR.
First I thought it's better to search
So you have not registered the complaint?
Only if you register one, can you
investigate, sir.
Drop this, I will take care.
Really?
Shall I drop it?
Look here,
your husband says he doesn't want,
to file a case.
If anything happens again,
you shouldn't come to us.
Understand?
This boy?
He's the one who saw him inside
the school toilet,
and informed someone outside.
Why did you go there?
You wait, Sabari.
Poor thing how many times
will he repeat it.
I'll tell you.
During the exams,
he was playing with this toy,
poor thing.
The teacher confiscated it and kept it in
the staff room.
Just while we are leaving to our hometown,
what is this confusion, Selvi?
What confusion!
Kannima got Baththa back alive.
That too,
because of our Sabari,
is a happy thing, right?
When he went to retrieve it,
just at the right time,
his stomach felt queasy.
A small boy has said why he went,
but you are not.
I'll take leave.
Let's go.
Why did you go there?
Who locked you inside?
I don't know.
Okay, why did you go there?
Delhi
Brother
When the time is right,
I'll tell you.
Okay, Brother
Why did you tell the police not
to file a case?
The police shouldn't catch him.
I want him.
Anyways, inform Baththa's family,
till the inspector comes back, that they
shouldn't go out of station.
Okay, sir
And also the same thing to the small boy
who saw him first.
Okay, sir.
We'll leave?
Okay, selvi.
I'll leave.
Okay
Sabari.
Come here.
Dear,
hereafter we are no longer strangers.
You're our son.
Mother
Father
Sister
Understand?
Hereafter,
we are all there for you.
Okay.
What?
Okay, go.
I'll take leave.
Brother
Do come home often.
Sure.
Okay, sit.
What?
Is the Chutney hot?
It is superb!
What did they give you to eat in there?
Tell
Rusk
For 8 days you ate only rusk?
Bloody heartless scoundrels.
8 days they gave you just rusk!
If I ever get hold of him!
Sister,
I'll find out who it is,
and see how I wreck him!
What guts,
for him to do this to our brother!
Sabari,
don't be scared,
come inside.
What is it, dear?
Here.
Brother,
before you had come out from the hospital,
I wanted to find out
who did this to you,
but I couldn't.
As far as I know,
Definitely they have hired someone,
from outside and carried out this.
Brother,
If we know why you went in there,
it will be easier to take a guess as to
who followed you.
Then the culprit will be easily caught!
There is no connection between the two.
Kannima,
get the invitation.
Why?
Let's write down the names of the invitees
for the function.
- Are we going to have the function?
- Yes
Let's not change it.
We will have it on the fixed date itself.
Why?
Let your health get better.
We can do it after that.
Nothing is wrong with me.
The minute I saw you and Thenu,
everything was fine.
We have ten days left.
Just wait and see, by then
Thenu
Dad
Write down all the names he
calls out, on this.
Okay dad, I'll get the pen.
Come
All those whom you suspect,
give the names one by one.
Why, brother?
Are you going to invite all of them?
Why, brother?
When we see them face
to face whilst inviting,
we will know who did it.
If we don't?
Then, let them come for the function.
After all a function is for everyone
to get together.
What are you saying?
Are you saying, to let go of the guy
who did this to you?
Nothing
Nothing, baby
How is that possible?
First let's find out who did it.
This is what I expected?
You go and give the invitations.
But before the function,
I will find out who it was.
Brother?
The shop?
The shop's been locked for
the past 10 days.
Let it be like that.
There is a function at home,
let's get the work going.
First we have to whitewash the whole
house.
Is it not Kannima?
Ask Gopi to come.
Okay.
Order the fairy lights and the mike
equipment.
Okay.
Come outside Look at the world.
Your world shall change!
Across the entire sky
You shall fly.
Come you old bird.
On your lips.
The laughter
Wonder who sowed that?
It's surprising your eyes.
Are brimming with tears.
Long long ago
When thee was innocent.
All that moved you then.
Is it melting in your heart now?
There was unlimited rambling.
There was unlimited ruckus.
After witnessing a lot within
You came and stood In silence?!
Is the universe cradling you?
Is your heart complimenting you?
Is happiness washing over you?
Are tears welling up?
Within you, deep down
Are the doors opening?
Without any rhyme or reason
Is your soul sensing sweetness?
Your wife
Your child.
Their blooming faces.
You must see
You Laugh
You go and embrace
The fire within shall be doused.
Towards your darkness
The Ligh
Was showered by whom?
Are your legs walking towards
an endless dawn?!
Has the angst
Eased?
Like a peacock's feather
Are the thoughts floating?
Within you
Is a small child being born?
Is Kindness
What your family
Emanates?
You got scared?
Me too.
I got very scared.
I thought it was all over.
I feel I've been reborn.
I was yearning badly to see you and our
daughter again.
I prayed to
every God to save me.
The song they played at the
Goddess Amman Temple,
The Azaan five times from the Mosque,
The Church's bell,
I heard all of it everyday.
I screamed like crazy, you know!
I doubt anyone heard it.
The value of everything is understood,
only when the end is near.
I have troubled you a lot.
- Forgive me Kannima.
- No!
Not at all.
Forgive me.
If that kid did not come,
imagine my plight.
Why you thinking of all that.
Why did you got to school at that
unearthly hour?
Kanni
Hey!
They just bought rusk and left.
- He bought it today also?
- Yes.
Which way did they go?
That way
Blue color shirt.
Eat
Hey!
Did anyone else buy?
Think carefully.
No one like you're suspecting,
just small boys buy it and go.
Can you identify who those boys are?
I don't know who those boys are.
But if I see them, I can identify!
If you see those boys again,
hold them here,
and send word to Baththa's house.
Okay.
The coconut looks too matured.
Take whatever you want and leave.
Ma'am,
would you know where Sabari's house is?
Are you asking selvi's home?
Yes, sister.
Just go inside, upstairs and the first
house on the right.
- Okay
- Hey! That's Baththa!
Selvi.
Hey! Go see who it is.
Please come.
Selvi.
Hey, Sabari.
Please come, brother and sister.
Come Thenu
Please sit.
No, no, you relax.
Hey, Sabari.
Where you going. Come here.
Come come please sit.
Come. Come.
- I'll get some water.
- How are you?
Yeah, sure.
Are you fine?
How are you? You fine?
- We are fine.
- Are you all fine?
Is it dried fish gravy?
The aroma is mesmerizing.
Always behaving like a police dog,
sniffing around.
Hey
What is this, you've called me a dog!
Question her baby, question her.
Yesterday's cooking,
is it still smelling?
Yes.
Your brother,
can be spot on about the smell,
of what was cooked even three days ago.
From your odor I will figure out
who you are.
Do come another day,
you can have a good meal.
Okay.
We are having
Thenu's puberty function,
so we came to give you the invitation.
Give me a notebook to write in. Hold this.
T.SABARI
T. Sabari,
section lll 'A'.
You're studying in the 3rd
standard, is it?
You're such a big man, is it?
What's your name, sir?
Thirunavukarasu.
Thiru - na - vu - karasu.
T. Sabari,
here, your notebook.
Get up.
Here you go.
You must come.
The first invitation is for you.
After this only for the rest.
Sabari is the reason,
why the function is happening.
Kannima
Give the 'Kumkum'.
We are going to the clothes shop,
we wanted to know,
if we can take Sabari along.
Why do you want to take him also,
not necessary, it's alright.
We are going by car.
You come Sabari.
Shall we go?
What do you say?
Okay.
What? Will you go?
If I say no,
like you're going to listen.
That too they have mentioned the car,
go and change your shirt.
Go.
Dress smartly and come,
let's go.
Hey! Sabari,
is it 'Gokul Sandal'
Talcum powder?
The fragrance is mesmerizing.
- See you, friend! Say bye
- Okay.
Bye.
Bye.
O! Trusted you to be a brother!
And he nurtured you.
As a Mother and As a Father.
He believed he was!
This is nice. You like it?
Kannima,
I seem to like it all.
Yes.
We saw another one,
in parrot green.
This is nice, parrot green.
This is beautiful, right?
- It looks beautiful.
- It's superb, baby.
It's so expensive.
So what?
It's what my daughter is going to drape
for the first time.
Thenu, you like it right?
It's nice,
but mum's saying
Forget about your mum.
You like it, right?
- Hmmm
- Then what,
take it.
Is it nice, Sabari?
Is it nice?
Shall we go up and buy clothes?
Which one do you want, Sabari?
Do you have a Safari suit?
- Yes sir.
- Take it out.
Wow!
Sabari!
Safari!
How's it?
It's in sync, right?
- Pack this.
- Okay.
What else do you want?
Nothing. Enough.
You shouldn't say that Sabari.
Take more.
At your age I used to yearn
to wear new clothes.
Even for festivals like Diwali and Pongal
I never got.
I used to love the Policeman's costume.
To buy that,
I slowly collected money,
By the time I got the whole
amount, I grew up.
Awesome!
Shake hands!
SP Chaudhary,
I'm under arrest!
- Do you have Rajiv Gandhi's costume.
- We have, sir.
Take it out.
Wow! Simply stunning!
Simply fantastic it is.
Did you like it, Sabari?
Hey,
you didn't serve crabs for him?
How will he be able to break and eat it.
- I'll do it for him.
- When?
Open your mouth.
Eat.
Hey, Baththa
Hey, it's me Aasai.
- You, is it
- Sit sit
Sit
Have you found out who it was?
No.
Don't let it slide Baththa.
Sometimes it could be someone
whom we know very well.
You're good at sniffing out people, right?
Nowadays these small fries who sprouted
yesterday,
are creating havoc.
If you suspect anyone, tell me.
I will find out just by his facial
expressions,
if he's the one who did it.
Because
I have that kinda super power.
If you need any help,
let me know, I'll come.
Your children?
Hmmm
Your son looks just like you.
Your power is so effective.
If you find out, let me know.
Won't I do it for you.
- See you, sister.
- Yes.
Water water
Delhi said we can find out
through the rusk.
They've inquired in all the shops
within the area.
Few boys have come and bought everyday.
Who are they?
Whose children?
We will know soon.
None of them.
All the 8 days that Baththa was inside,
did that boy come?
Everyday he will be there without fail in
the morning.
Did he come after Baththa was found?
After Baththa was found
He didn't come.
Then for sure it's that boy.
If we catch him,
we will get to know who did it.
Has asked a child to buy it. Pansy prick!
Come, brother.
Come Kannima.
How are you?
- I am fine. You?
- I am fine.
Sit. Please sit.
Here.
I am having a puberty function
for my daughter.
Please forget the past,
come with the family,
and bless my daughter.
You must come.
What is this
I know Thenu from when she was born.
It seems like now that I saw
her as a baby.
And you're telling me she's
attained puberty.
In between so much has happened.
Why are you talking about that.
Why are you talking about that.
This is a function in our house.
We will rock it.
- Sit down, Baththa.
- Sit down.
- Lachamma, get them coffee.
- Okay.
No, no
we don't want.
He will say that, you go bring the coffee.
But you know about me, Baththa.
You've come all the way to my house,
and are inviting me.
But your men,
are suspecting me,
and doing unwanted stuff.
It's not that
I am not angry with you.
Bloody bugger, to keep you in the
bathroom,
play, like children?
Why are you going on talking
about the past?
Shut up!
Forgive me.
Have some sweet, Baththa.
A miniscule anchor.
Cause it does its job.
A ship doesn't sail.
Anything I touch erupts victoriously.
But this one I'm unable to unravel.
On the coming 18th I am having,
my daughter's puberty function.
Please come with the family.
Take the fruits and give the plate.
18th I am having the function,
do come with your family.
I am having my daughter's puberty
function,
the coming 18th.
Come and take part.
You don't want the fruits?
What are you thinking?
They didn't do it.
It's someone else.
How do you know?
If it were them, they wouldn't have kept
me for 8 days.
The minute they locked me, they would have
finished me.
If he has locked me for 8 days and given
me just rusk,
he has had another plan.
Which just about failed.
He's not a normal guy like these
He's a very dangerous fellow.
The fragile heart, suspects whom?
The one I fed milk and nurtured, is
kicking my bosom
I've lost the key and am searching for
the lock.
The traitor should be destroyed along
with his tribe.
No clue as to what the issue is
This is like hide n seek,
catch the right guy.
All this drama for this one guy
You being a nobody have.
Put your hands inside
The King Cobra's anthill.
The way I am gonna punch you
Blood will ooze from your mouth.
The game is almost over
We gonna find you.
You search and you hide.
You run and you disappear
Holding your breath.
You suffer as you are at the very edge!
If you get caught with the
perfect proof.
In the basement you will be
thrown into.
Let any problem arise.
Like a lonely tree.
You should stand alone.
You shouldn't runaway in fear
I am seething with anger.
If you get caught
You're finished!
In fury Furiously.
It's at its peak.
A King in his hunger goes
hunting for a rat.
If he finds you now.
- You are finished.
- Hey, Sabari!
A King in his hunger goes
hunting for a rat.
If he finds you now.
You are finished.
Sabari
Come
Hey!
Come
Thenu, wants to go watch a film.
Will you come?
What is it?
Why do you always look frightened?
Any problem?
No?
Anything tell me, okay.

What? What are you guys
doing here?
We are looking for the boy
who bought rusk.
You're still looking for the boy who
bought rusk?
Yes.
Brother
Brother, come here.
- Hello, Brother.

Sabari.
Come let's go tell your mother.
- Okay.
- Okay.

As though they'll let that boy roam free
around town?
Won't they know if we find him,
we'll find them.
- That's right
- Yes, it seems!
- You go, do your work.
- Okay.
Ma ma ma
Wait.
Come in, Sister.
Dad!
What happened dad?
What happened?
I am asking you, what happened?
Nothing, brother.
I fell down.
- Fell down?
- Yes.
Tell the truth.
What happened?
- He's asking you, right.
- Tell him.
Selvi
You tell me.
At work one rogue has hit him.
He is always bullying him.
Today cause it was unbearable,
he retaliated.
So that guy kicked up a fight,
and beat him up badly.
He's taken the beating and come.
Who is it?
Where is he now?
Tell me
No, let's leave it.
Leave it and?
Get beaten like this?
Don't we need to give it back?
Thirunavukarasu,
where is he now?
Tell me.
Sabari
Do you know where your father works?
Brother
I'll also come.
Who hit you?
Is it him?
Is it him?
You got it, right
Now give it back!
What?
You're laughing!
Don't Don't
Thiruna!
You're laughing
You're laughing
You're laughing
Stop it!
Stop it!
Stop it!
Why are you beating up my laborer?
Who are you?
Your laborer has hit one of his coworkers.
Did you hit him?
If you ask the man who hit him,
he'll deny it!
Ask the guy who got hit!
Look at his face!
Did he hit you?
Tell him!
No, sir.
What about these wounds?
I had a fall, sir.
He's denying it.
Why are you needlessly...
Get going, all of you.
Get back to work.
Sabari.
Go tell Kannima and Thenu that
I've asked them to come downstairs.
Brother
Brother
Brother
Forgive me.
If I had said yes,
the manager would have sacked him.
He's a family man.
Due to his mistakes,
why should his wife and children suffer?
See you.
G. SONAIMUTHU COOKER, MIXER,
AND GAS STOVE SERVICE CENTER
Nothing
Who is it?
Isn't Jyothi here?
Who?
Hitting you the other day,
I was wrong.
Forgive me, Jyothi.
I behaved very badly,
forgive me.
On the coming 18th, I am having my
daughter's puberty function.
You must come.
Here.
Baby.
Why you coming,
looking so flustered?
Where did you go early in the morning?
I woke up and you weren't there.
I went to Jyothi's house.
To Jyothi's house?
Hmmm
Why did you go to Jyothi's house
at this hour?
We've invited all our foes,
he was the only one left.
If he wakes up in the morning
and goes out.
That's why, I went to his house,
apologized to him,
and invited him.
You apologized?
Nothing.
Yesterday the guy who hit
Thirunavukarasu, right,
his wife and children weren't there.
But he was able to think about them.
The other day when I thrashed
Jyothi at the market,
His wife fell at my feet and begged.
His daughter was standing there and
weeping profusely.
I couldn't care a damn about them.
I felt like going to Jyothi's house and,
apologizing to Jyothi's wife and daughter.
I saw them, apologized,
and invited them.
What did they say?
Will know only if they come
for the function.
For a few days you please don't go
anywhere alone.
I'll come with you,
or at least take Delhi or Durai.
Brother,
I want to tell you something.
I was the one who locked
you inside the toilet.
Why you not treating me?
We don't serve all that at the function.
You shouldn't drink.
Once you are drunk you are unbearable.
Then we cannot control you.
Come come
Brother.
-Come, brother.
-Come, Sabari.
- Here.
- Sabari,
you've come alone
What do you want?
This
- Enough enough
- Go, eat.
Go sit and eat.
Thenu
Coming
Uncle,
there will be people thronging the stage.
It should be really strong okay?
Hey! Uncle!
- Brother.
- What is it?
Brother,
Selvam's out?
Okay.
Hold this.
- Annamalai
- Brother.
Here
The petromax light here is not working.
Go check and come.
Kannima,
Selvam's come out of jail only yesterday.
Let me go and invite him.
Okay, don't go alone.
Take Delhi with you.
- Brother? Where to?
- What?
Just nearby.
Shall we also come?
Don't want.
I'll go and come.
Okay.
THENMOAZHI
Shall I also come?
Come.
Hey!
Shall we go?
I'll be back.
Brother,
Come.
-Give me betel leaves for 50 paise,
-Okay.
- And fruits for one and a half rupees.
- Okay.
Sabari,
why you standing here?
Will you eat 'Murukku'?
You don't want?
Anything else?
You don't want anything?
Why?
Why you looking troubled, Sabari?
Nothing
Nothing?
Hey Kid
Hey Kid
He is?
My boy only
Why?
Even he used to come and
buy rusk everyday.
Assuming it's this kid,
Delhi and me have been unnecessarily,
searching all over the area.
Kid, shall I pack some rusk?
You like rusk a lot, is it?
Even I like it a lot.
When I was young,
I was like you.
The guy who locked me up
inside the bathroom,
gave me only rusk for 8 days.
On seeing the rusk at the tea shop,
those memories came back,
and my head started spinning.
Hereafter in my life,
not just never eating rusk,
I can't even look at it,
that's what he's done.
Till the very end, who is he?
Why did he do it?
What did he do it for? I guess we may
never get to know.
I am completely confused
thinking about it, Sabari.
Tender Ice-apple will be very tasty.
Open your mouth.
What happened?
Why you crying, Sabari?
Huh?
What happened?
Oh no!
Told you my story and made you cry.
It's nothing,
don't cry.
I am fine, isn't it?
Brother
I didn't purposely keep rusk.
I had money only to buy that.
The one who locked you inside
the school toilet,
was was me.
I told you,
when I went to take the toy,
I I opened the toilet door
I told you, that you were lying in the
water tank, right
That's a lie.
I said that in fear.
At school after I took the toy,
and after I finished going to the toilet,
I went to check if all the
doors were locked.
I went to check if the toilet
door was locked.
It wasn't locked.
I locked it and I was just leaving.
You knocked at the door.
I came to open it
But you said
Hey! I am Baththa!
Open the door!
If you don't open the door,
I will kill you!
I heard that and got scared!
The other day,
when you were seated at the tea shop,
I was flying a kite on the terrace.
By mistake my hand slipped
and hit a stone,
that fell on you.
I was like what happened and looked down.
You looked at me and said,
Come down, I'll kill you.
You said that.
That's why,
I didn't open the door.
If I had opened the door,
I was scared you would kill me,
my father and mother
The police came and questioned.
I got even more scared.
That's why that's why
I didn't tell anyone.
You shouldn't be without eating,
so everyday I bought rusk from that
uncle's shop,
and gave it to you.
One day my mother said we have to leave,
to our native for the festival.
If I go to my native,
who will keep food for you
So somehow I gathered the courage,
I opened the door and went in,
you were lying in the water tank.
I thought you had died.
I ran outside and told one person
After I came to know you had survived,
I was so happy.
I thought of telling you,
but I was scared you would kill me.
After I started spending time with you,
only I came to know,
that you're not like that.
You, Kannima aunty and Thenmozhi sister,
were so affectionate towards me
Don't get scared.
Go back.
You hit me in front of everyone,
and then you come home and invite me.
Will I spare you!
Die.
Brother!
Hold him!
Brother!
Sabari.
Sabari go
Sabari
- Sabari go
- Throw him there.
- Brother!
- Hey!
Sabari go
Hey! Carry him.
Brother!
Go, Sabari!
Come!
Kill him!
I'll take the blame.
Why you hesitating?
Kill him!
Come.
What happened?
Everyone's sleeping,
let's go inside and talk.
Sabari?
Sabari, is it?
Durai has gone to drop Sabari home.
What happened?
Jyothi!
You just see what happens to him.
He's the one who locked him
in the school toilet.
It's not him.
How you saying that?
Then who?
I know it's not him.
You don't know who did it,
but you know it's not him.
How's that?
You're hiding something from me.
You have spared the guy,
who came with henchmen to kill you.
What's happening?
Why you went to school, that day,
at that time,
You're not telling us!
You're not right
What do you mean not right?
You're not like before.
You've changed.
You're asking us to not open the shop.
You're inviting all unnecessary people.
If you were the same as before, will
Jyothi have the guts?
The fear of you in the area has gone.
You're not alright.
What is not right?
Hey! Kannima.
Leave it.
You want to go indulge
in rowdyism like before,
and get drunk and roam around, isn't it?
No, sister!
In all these years,
only now he's alright.
Go
Now you want to
Sister, I never said that.
Hey! Even she's not saying that.
Come
I didn't mean to say that
Don't you know her
Don't cry.
Look at me,
I hit him,
he hit me.
- Okay.
- The problem is over.
Let's not make this bigger.
What?
Okay.
Let's do the work for the
function happily.
Okay.
-Go.
-Okay, I am leaving, sister.
I told you not to go alone.
Don't be scared.
I know who locked me up in the toilet.
Who?
Sabari.
Sabari?
Which Sabari?
Our sabari?
Lift me.
That small kid,
has been suffering all these days.
I have been such a disgusting person.
I can't understand.
Sabari.
Give.
Sit.
You went to school to take this?
Why did you go there?
Shall I tell you?
My first memory is of me singing
to my mother.
I would've been 2 or 3 years then.
She used to love my singing.
When I finished singing she
will hug and kiss me.
She contracted a disease and
died very early.
After that whenever I heard a song, I
thought of my mother.
I used to sing along with it.
My father used to be drunk
and fallen somewhere.
My only companion were the songs.
I used to keep singing.
When the whole town is asleep
My night is awake
When the whole world laughs
The moon that weeps.
DEIVATHIN DEIVAM
If I get any money,
I will immediately go and buy
a lyric book.
When I was in the 8th
The garden on the banks of the Ganges.
Virgin women flock.
Lord Kannan in the midst.
O! o! o!
I liked Jayanthi a lot.
That day when Jayanthi sang that song
You fell in love is it?
Hey
Sabari
Who is singing next?
Floating clouds
Listen to one word.
To my restless soul.
You offer the comfort.
The vibrant peacock rules.
In that Epic I am King.
Enough, go
My heart broke.
After that,
I did not have the courage to sing in
front of anyone.
Why that teacher,
stopped me half way,
I understood only later.
At that young age,
if someone sings a love song,
with so much intensity,
which teacher won't stop it.
I selected the wrong song.
Once I understood that,
I got interested again.
Any song I listen to,
I will imagine myself holding a mike, and
singing that song,
When I was in the 10th standard,
at our 'Amman' Temple, for the first
time, they organized a music concert.
A few people from the area,
went and asked and sang a song on stage.
Even I wanted to go on stage and hold the
mike and sing.
Hesitatingly I went and finally asked,
and sang on the stage.
A new sky
A new land
A new sky
A new land
A shower of dew drops glowing
everywhere.
When I come.
To welcome me.
A shower of colorful flowers.
A new sky
A new land
A shower of dew drops
glowing everywhere.
- Get down.
- Ask him to get down.
Only that day I realized,
that the teacher didn't stop me
cause of the song,
but would have stopped me if
I had sung any song.
After that in the area everyone,
A new sky
A new land
A new sky
I went and sang with so much passion,
They teased me Shamed me,
and killed the singer in me.
At one point I really lost my temper.
'See what I do to all of you' kind
of anger.
The biggest mistake I made,
consumed by anger I went
and joined a rowdy gang.
I thrashed everyone who teased me.
I thought everyone in the area,
should get scared at the sight of me.
Just like that my life changed.
I never sang after that.
After I got married to Kannima,
I sang only to her.
Whilst the breeze sleeps.
Whilst the sun sleeps.
Will my eyes sleep.
Will my love laden eyes sleep.
Dear
My love
Only others should get scared of me.
No,
if you don't sing,
I won't get scared.
Thenu was born.
Whenever I got time, I only used to sing
and put her to sleep.
Thenu has grown a little bit.
- She keeps melting into her baby language
- Are you crazy or what? Stop singing.
- It's nothing.
- Don't sing daddy
- It's nothing.
- Don't sing daddy
- It's nothing.
- Don't sing daddy
That was the last time.
After that,
at home, in the area,
I couldn't sing anywhere.
After I fixed the music troupe for Thenu's
function and came,
M.G.R.'s film was playing on Television,
I saw a man holding a mike and singing.
M.G.R. will be looking at him with
a sense of longing.
My heart yearned to sing again.
But this time,
I wanted to practice properly,
and sing in such a way that
everyone's stunned.
I was thinking about what do.
School closed for the holidays.
I thought I can practice there,
and slyly went to school.
I wanted to go to the toilet.
So I thought let's go and then come.
You locked the door.
Okay
I realized that God himself
didn't like me to sing.
Sabari.
Only Kannima and Thenu,
now you know about this.
If everyone comes to know, Baththa went
inside the school,
to sing, and this happened,
I feared they will mock me in the area.
I am already very hurt
regarding this issue.
I won't be able to bear it
anymore, Sabari.
Understood?
Yes, don't tell anyone.
Then when you sing in the evening, it
won't be a surprise.
Why am I going to sing in the evening
Why?
I haven't practiced.
You're singing well only
When did you hear?
Just now a little while ago,
when you were in the 8th standard,
you sang a song in school, isn't it?
It was superb.
Was it good?
I can sing the stanza even better.
The teacher stopped me half way.
Sing in the evening.
Even Kannima aunty and.
Thenmozhi sister, will be thinking you're
not going to sing.
It will be a surprise for them also.
So you think I should sing?
What if they mock me again?
Don't stop this time, complete it.
Hello brother.
- Baththa.
- Please come.

Welcome sir

isn't it. This is her.
This is Jayanthi.
What?
Sit.
Green parrot, pearl necklace,
jasmine vine who is she?
One minute.
Call Baththa, let's take a
photograph together.

- One minute, Sister.
- Okay.

- No I didn't.
I haven't seen him.
- You go and look there.
- Okay, I'll check.
