Hey, Selva?
Selva?
-Selva, Mom's calling you.
-I heard her. Shut up now.
-Why are you screaming now?
-Aren't you late?
-[Selva] This is my mom, Malathy.
Take this.
She used to run a fish shop near the station.
Mala fish shop was very famous.
Give this to Arul.
She shut down her business
after Arul was born to care for the three of us.
-Hey, Mala!
Your husband passed out drunk
near the Mariyamman temple.
He used to supply fish
in our neighborhood market every morning.
A few years after I was born,
he pawned my mom's jewelry and bought a pickup truck.
He started drinking daily
with the money that was left.
My mom tried to get him quit drinking
by talking to him, begging him, crying to him,
scolding him, and even hitting him.
But nothing worked.
That was when Mary showed up.
Peace be with you.
You haven't changed caste but just changed your mind.
We're ready to build houses across the city.
But you're all against it.
You'll build houses for us.
But what about our livelihood?
A few people run shops on Moonu Road, sir.
But most of us make our living from fishing.
How could we leave this place
abandoning our jobs?
We won't.
What do you propose then?
We would appreciate it if you built a brick house
for all of us and not just the ones affected by the tsunami.
Benji is the sponsor in our neighborhood,
right from our team's jerseys to the entry fees.
This is Razak.
He and Benji are the heart of our football team.
They are the organizers and sponsors,
be it a tournament or festival.
Benji likes football.
But he loves boxing.
He won the zone, district, division,
state and went to the nationals in boxing.
He was the runner.
But he couldn't go beyond the nationals,
no matter how hard he tried.
He slowly stopped practicing.
He then started a federation for the poor
and started teaching boxing and football.
I've dreamt of becoming
a football player all my life.
Jeeva and I scored seven goals
in the first match
to beat the opponent
at the tournament four years back.
From that day, we became famous in our neighbourhood.
And we got to know everyone there.
Other teams wanted us to play as guests after that.
We've played for a few small clubs in Madras.
A bigger club selected me after watching my game.
But they asked me to pay 50, 000.
Brother, a first-class club saw his game
and has given him a chance
to play for their club.
He'll come up in life if he plays for them.
Okay. But he's asking for money.
-I can't afford that much money.
-Sell your truck and give me that money.
Senseless idiot. We make our living with that truck.
Idiot.
-Hey! How dare you?
You have no other place to go.
I'll break your legs when you come back.
Let it go.
It was your dad who scolded, after all.
Appu's father also scolds him every day.
-You thief. Don't you talk about it!
-Hey!
What are you guys doing here at this hour?
[Selva] This is Joseph, Benji's brother.
He's friends with Kiruba
who sells bootleg alcohol.
Why are you hanging around with a bootlegger?
Who are you to question me?
As if you are in good company.
-Benji.
How many times do I have to warn you?
Why are you loitering here?
I teach boxing and football to school goers
so they don't take the wrong route, Kanniyappa.
But you run your drugs
through those kids. You jerk!
Look, Kiruba.
This is your last warning.
If I see anyone selling drugs here again,
you'll get it from me.
Come home.
Hey!
What are you guys doing here at this hour?
Go. Get down.
Did you talk to Nagaraj?
He said we can get it done.
That's good news.
Are you two not happy about it?
I thought I'd get the drugs from Andhra
and get started if I had the money.
Nobody would lend me the money.
What is it, Kiruba?
You said we'd do business together
and make it big.
-Are you trying to cut me out now?
-Enough, Joseph.
How else should I take it?
You go around asking for money from everyone but me.
I was the one who came up with this idea, right?
Yes, it was you.
I don't deny it.
But
I can't let you take on the entire burden.
It's fair if we share the investment equally.
Anyway, how will you arrange for so much money?
You'll have to ask your brother.
Why would I ask him?
Just tell me how much we need to get it.
I told you already.
We can get started if we have one lakh.
I'll invest.
You get it here.
What are we waiting for, Kiruba?
Our partner said he'll give the entire sum.
Let's get started.
And if you contest in the upcoming elections
and become a ward member or a councilor
-we wouldn't have to ask anyone.
-Hey.
I've already decided to contest.
-You heard that, Kiruba.
-You think he can't?
Nagarajan used to brew liquor
at Tinnanur a decade back.
But didn't he get a chance to contest for the councilor post?
Money speaks.
We'll also settle in life and go legit.
Am I right, Joseph?
Nothing much, brother.
I thought I'd contest
in the councilor elections this year.
You were in power back then.
It would be fair to start with you.
What do you say, Benji?
The election is due in six months.
If I talk to the people at that time,
they would think I'm doing it for their vote.
I wish to do some good to people like you.
It would be nice if you and Benji supported me.
Everyone here listens to Benji.
Nagaraj, this year
I'm planning to make Benjamin contest.
Oh! Is it?
He might want to do something for the boys.
Of course. Of course, let him.
I hope you don't have a problem.
No, brother. It doesn't matter if I do it
or if Benji does it.
I'm happy if something good happens to the people.
-I'll get going, brother.
-Okay.
Let me know if you need help.
No formalities.
See you, brother.
-See you, Benji.
-Okay.
See you.
SELVA?
Did your dad say anything about the money?
He gets furious if I ask him for the money.
Alright, come with me.
I'll be back.
Dad?
Dad?
-Why don't you respond?
-What is it?
Did you take Mom's chain from the cupboard?
Why would I take it?
Where the hell is he?
JOSEPH?
JOSEPH?
Do you think he took it?
He wouldn't have.
You didn't take it, nor did I.
I'm pretty sure he took it.
-Benji, listen to me.
-He never listens to me.
-Listen to me, Benji.
-He'll never change his ways.
-Listen to me, Benji.
-He's a worthless idiot.
-We'll talk to him when he comes home.
-You keep quiet, Dad.
-Hello?
-The money is ready.
I'll come.
-What is he saying?
-He's arranged for the money.
-Super.
-What do you mean?
That guy suddenly said he cannot do this for us.
That's something only you and I know.
Don't discuss this with him.
He's got the money in hand now.
If we tell him, it's all gone.
We'll pay the money to Nagaraj,
talk to him, and get this going.
Hey, Joseph.
Hey, Joseph!
Did you take the chain?
-What chain?
-Don't act smart. Did you take Mom's chain?
-Why would I?
-Don't lie to me.
What the hell is your problem?
It's between us.
Don't you interfere.
-Don't do this, Benji.
-Did you take it or not?
-I'm already furious.
-What? I should be the one to be angry.
Why are you shouting at him now?
-Joseph, you better ask your brother to leave.
-I won't. What will you do?
-Don't push me, Benji.
-Yes, I took it. What will you do about it?
Why should I answer you?
I'm supposed to keep quiet
while that oldie gives you everything?
Kiruba and I are planning to start a business
with that money.
Do what you want to do.
And you think it's business
to do drug dealing with this moron.
Hey, let me go.
Let me go.
Stop it, Benji.
Listen to me.
Stop it, Benji.
How dare you steal Mom's chain?
I'll kill you.
Selva is here.
Come, you!
What's the matter, Selva?
Did I scare you?
-No, brother.
-Okay, fine.
Are you practicing every day?
Yes. I'm regular.
Good.
You've got to practice regularly.
Whether you win or lose
you should never give up on the game.
It'll be your bread and butter in the future.
Okay.
Come home tomorrow and collect the money.
-Get going.
-Okay.
-Go home.
-Okay.
Go home safe.
He should be content with playing football and getting drunk.
What the hell is his problem?
Why does he keep poking his nose in our work?
We should have killed him
when he fought with us in the morning.
We can't make a living as long as he's around, Joseph.
You will live out your days,
claiming your dad and brother were a councilor once.
As far as I'm concerned,
we should be ready to kill anyone who gets in our way.
Be it Benjamin or Nagaraj.
There's no point in being disgruntled instead.
There's no one around when he goes home drunk.
I'll take care of him.
What do you say?
-Hello?
-Hey, Kiruba!
Why is Benji home?
What? Upstairs?
Hello? Hey!
Hey! Hello?
Hey!
What's the matter? I thought you were asleep.
No.
-Are you still mad at me?
-No, I'm going back down.
We'll talk about it downstairs.
What the hell are you doing here?
Hey, Joseph! Grab him!
Is Selva in?
-Hey.
-What?
Where are you taking him?
-I'm asking you a question!
-Hey, Selva.
-Jeeva!
-Selva?
Hey!
Why are you picking fights with Karthi?
Can you only see what we do?
Are you blind to what they do?
Where is he?
You don't understand the gravity of the situation!
You guys are going
to get into something deep someday.
He's taking a shower inside.
Go.
Hey, Selva! Karthi and Guna have torn up
Benjamin's posters!
Ma'am. You made a mistake.
Why did you stop with just one son?
If you had another son,
he would've made ten other towns flourish!
It wasn't your fault.
I wonder what my boy is doing.
And where he is.
[Selva] Conflict.
This conflict started even before I was born.
This will never end, even after I die!
Someone's bound to clash with someone else
under some other name or cause.
This time, it's me.
School, college, the neighborhood,
ground, and the bus. We fought everywhere.
But that was last year.
I'm in my final year now.
If I have a problem,
the whole college would have my back.
~ I'm Kokki Kumar in the rough neighborhoods! ~
~ Kolamaavu Kokila, she isn't worth chasing! ~
Karthi, Guna, and Jagan.
Karthi is Kiruba's brother-in-law.
In a forest, the wolves rejoice when the lion dies.
It was Kiruba's turn to be happy.
He sells Marijuana in the neighborhood
through his brother-in-law.
Selva! Do you know what Karthi did?
He smuggled a pack in Jamaal's brother's bag.
Looks like he got into trouble.
Jamaal and his father are at the police station.
They used the same tactic
at the ground once to drag us into a fight.
Hey! What's your problem?
Do you guys own this ground?
Who said so?
If you want, come and play.
So, you'll chase away children then?
They were rolling joints here like you do.
That's why we chased them away.
This didn't start here.
Is this M2?
Appu?
Hey.
There's a new girl in the accounts class.
Did anyone have a look?
Did you see her? She's gorgeous.
You'd say that about any old lady!
"She's gorgeous, " it seems!
Well, look who's talking!
Forget about him, Appu.
We'll go have a look during lunch. Okay?
-Sure, man.
-I'll join you guys.
-Yeah! Let's go!
-The hell you will.
Boys.
~ We're a bunch of smart boys! ~
~ We're a bunch of cocky boys! ~
~ Cocky boys! ~
~ We're a bunch of smart boys! ~
~ We're a bunch of cocky boys! ~
~ We lead the way in fights! ~
~ And when we do, we pack a punch! ~
~
~ Your gaze meets me ~
~ Unknown to the world ~
~ With unspoken words ~
~ Unknown to the world ~
~ This moment fills me with joy
~ The hidden dreams in my heart ~
~ Take wings and flies ~
~ I too shall fly high
~
~ And touch the skies ~
~ Shores seem afar but
My world is beside me ~
Here she comes.
~ Even your walk is graceful! ~
~ Graceful! ~
-Hey! Roach-face!
-Hey, where's Jeeva?
Bro!
Just as we were about to leave,
the chemistry teacher gave us some work.
-I made a run for it, but Jeeva got caught.
-Says who?
-Looks like he made it out.
-You know what?
While I was helping the chemistry teacher
move the chairs,
I turned around
and bumped into Shailu.
-I felt a jolt run through my body.
-Hey!
Lucky guy!
If I knew about it, I would have joined you.
-Hey, Ruba. Is there a way I can switch to arts?
-Like hell there is.
Hey!
I'm in love with her.
Priya. Aarthi. Sri.
-Are you in love with someone?
-No.
I'm in love with you then.
Sorry. I'm not interested.
I'm in love with her. I'm serious.
Hey! Tell me who you haven't been in love with.
I'll propose to her tomorrow.
Why wait till tomorrow?
Do it today!
What are you looking at?
We'll stay away because you love her.
Not everyone will wait.
What matters most is whom she likes.
He's back. It's your turn.
Hey! Get going!
-Keep walking, knuckle-head.
-Damn you!
Shailu!
Are you in love with someone?
No.
-I'm in love with you.
-Okay.
I haven't even seen you before.
All I get is one free hour.
They asked me to substitute for her then.
-We'll talk later.
-What can I do?
I'll talk to you later.
There he is.
What happened?
What's with that look on his face?
-I wonder what happened.
-Hey, did you tell her everything?
-Look at him blush.
-I told her.
~ Oh my dear,
You're beloved is here ~
~ When we are together,
The festivities start! ~
~ Oh ho! ~
~ Oh ho! ~
What did Vicky do after that?
You know that lady who runs the kiosk?
He was trying to flirt with her.
-With her?
-And her husband saw this.
Did he chase him down?
-Yeah, he had to make a run for it.
-Hey!
Karthi and his gang are beating up Appu
in the bathroom!
Hey!
What did you tell that girl yesterday?
-Why?
-Answer my question.
-I won't.
-What?
How dare you?
Selva, you're crossing the limit.
What do you expect?
You guys have been in the same class
for four years now.
Are we supposed to treat you with respect?
Hey! The PT is on his way!
The PT is on his way!
Let go.
Hey! That's his girl.
Look!
You better forget her.
Let's go.
Shailu.
-You still haven't answered my question.
-Hey!
Didn't I tell you the other day?
to stop talking to her?
-Don't you understand?
-Hey!
-I'm talking to him. What's your problem?
-What?
I said I'm talking to him. What's your problem?
You heard her. Get lost.
What?
-Don't ever see me again!
-Okay.
Get going, morons.
Tell me.
I asked you the other day.
You didn't answer me.
Finish schooling and come back.
[in Malayalam] I'll tell you then.
~ Oh, my distant star ~
~ My heart dwells on this moment ~
~ Like a poetic drizzle ~
~ Your silence mesmerizes me ~
~ With unheard melodies ~
~ Your gaze meets me ~
~ With unspoken words ~
~ Your love speaks ~
~ Oh, my unseen tears ~
~ My heart embraces you ~
~ The path never ends ~
~ When Love remains our eternal companion ~
~ Love remains our eternal companion ~
~ What's there to think? ~
~ I'm addicted to you! ~
~ I'm addicted to you! ~

~ With unspoken words ~
~ With unspoken words ~
~ Your love speaks ~
~ With unspoken words ~
~ Oh, my distant star ~
[Selva] Ever since mom died,
Viji has been taking care of the family.
And I was his biggest concern.
He wants me to get good at the game
so that I land a job in the railways.
Hey.
Why don't you apply for the railway's selection?
I didn't have a problem with the game,
but with the selection.
They want five lakhs
for my name to appear on the list.
-Why did you change the channel?
-Morons!
I should get it without paying a dime.
Did I ever do that while you were watching?
-Quiet.
-Hey!
I'm asking you a question,
but you don't answer.
They want money.
Do you have it?
That's not your problem.
I told you I'd take care of that.
Why don't you apply this time
instead of being idle?
Keep quiet. You don't know what you are talking about.
Keep quiet?
You'll be barred due to your age.
College ends in six months.
Whether you get a chance or not,
don't ever give up on the game.
Doesn't matter if it's of use to you.
It would benefit someone else, Benji used to say.
He's not around anymore.
His void is yet to be filled.
I don't want to be like Benji.
He wouldn't have wanted me to be like him.
I want to play football.
On the next level.
I played all the games,
regardless of whether it was big or small.
I used every chance that was offered to me.
I've knocked on all the doors.
But even if you have the strength in your legs,
they'd never let you boot up
that easy.
Even if you had the strength in your arms,
they'd never let you wear the gloves that easy.
That makes my blood boil.
Those on the other team
are usually on the receiving side.
The club would eventually dismiss me.
I'd come back home, all burnt out,
and Viji would ask why I didn't apply for the selections.
Now I understand why Benji moved away from boxing.
-Yes?
-I'd like to meet Sounder.
Partner!
-Come in, partner!
-That's okay.
-I insist.
-Wear a shirt. We'll go a tea shop.
-Hey, shall I drop you off at the bus stand?
-No, I'll walk.
That's my sister.
Wait, I'll wear my shirt.
You just got out.
We can't rush into this.
And if we miss, we are screwed!
You messed up terribly
when you tried this before.
But him?
He got out in three months.
Find out what he is up to now.
And find someone who'd do that.
How's your partner doing?
You mean Kiruba?
Who else then?
Don't ever say this on the outside.
He'll have me killed.
Nagaraj became the councilor
a year after you went to jail.
And Kiruba started selling drugs
just as he wanted.
He secretly supplied local stores tobacco items
that were banned by the government.
And used the profit to bribe the police and Nagaraj.
Slowly, he made his way
into the party through Nagaraj.
Kiruba is now his main henchman.
He started mediating deals in real estate,
and government auctions moving up the ladder slowly.
As Nagaraj grew more influential,
Kiruba grew with him.
He became popular by sponsoring
religious festivals,
resolving disputes, and being charitable
in the locality.
He contested for and won the councilor post.
If Kiruba hadn't killed Benji,
Kumar and I would've murdered him
and been in his position.
He beat us to it.
And the second runner-up gets 5,000 rupees.
We request the players
to register the team at the stage.
What a shot! Yay!
What a fantastic goal that was!
-Brother. Gentlemen team.
-Hey!
-Entry's closed. So get going!
-Closed?
I don't find the place crowded though.
They're going to cheat
and win overall, regardless.
Who would want to enter?
That's none of your business.
-Leave this place. Now!
-Have you forgotten the past?
What's all the commotion about?
They started it first!
Karthi, remember how you lost
and fled in shame?
-What is your problem now?
-Selva! Stop digging up the past and cause a scene!
-Get going, first.
-Brother.
We're here to participate,
not to create a scene.
We cannot let you in.
Leave here, now.
-You've been a nuisance since Benjamin's reign.
-There they go.
Do you recognize who that loudmouth is?
He's Viji's brother.
It's never peaceful if he's involved in anything.
Jeeva, that guy's getting all riled up.
-He'll get it from me someday.
-Yeah, yeah.
Hey, Kiruba runs this tournament.
It's a given that they'd act smart.
Who does this Kiruba think of himself?
You called? What's the matter?
-Haven't you become a big shot of now?
-Oh, please.
I saw your partner at the bar.
What's up with him?
Poor guy. Looks like he got out only yesterday.
He called me to drink with him.
That's about it.
I see. What does he have in mind?
He said he'd manage the eatery.
That's what we discussed.
Okay then, I'll see you.
I hurried here, thinking it was urgent.
-I will, in time.
-Okay.
-Brother?
-Come.
-Here's your change.
-Keep it!
-Oh, keep it.
Okay.
-Jamaal?
-Yeah?
What was the ruckus at the ground?
It's the usual drama.
The usual drama?
Doesn't Kiruba intervene in this?
They've been fighting since school.
No one knows when this will explode
and reach Kiruba.
-Ok. Go.
-Okay, brother.
That problem never ended then.
Kiruba seems to be pissed with us.
One day at Chamber Ground,
a small fight turned into a big issue.
Selva disrespected Kiruba when he tried to mediate.
We've fought so many times before.
But that fight at the ground
led to a fight between the two hoods.
That was when Kiruba entered the scene.
We all kept quiet, avoiding him.
But it was Selva who spoke to him rudely.
-Are you serious?
-Yeah!
After a compromise by the Corporation officials
Kiruba told the two teams to alternate
between the mornings and evenings.
Selva, unnecessarily
yelled at Kiruba with grudge.
JESUS FAST FOOD
What is Selva up to?
He plays for a small club.
He plays for the fun of it.
He lost interest in football
after missing the opportunity when he was young.
-Remember the commotion at the ground?
-Yeah?
The one when he picked a fight with Karthi
It wasn't because they were pissed at them
but because of the grudge he had against Kiruba.
You could ask the boys too.
Now that you learnt everything about him,
let's plot and kill him soon.
And?
Do you want me to serve time again?
Don't you think I can find a partner
like Kiruba found me?
My brother was well respected.
It wasn't me who killed Benji that night.
On the day Benji hit me and Kiruba,
Kiruba called me to the terrace that night.
I hurried upstairs.
The room was filled with blood.
Kiruba was sitting next to Benji's head.
Before I could reach, he had died.
Why didn't you say the truth in court?
You think they'd believe me?
There was commotion at the market, that morning.
Benji lay dead in a pool of blood that evening.
And my shirt was soaked in it.
In that situation, would you still believe me?
No one but my father believed me.
He accepted me despite being called a murderer by everyone.
Benji and I have been feuding since childhood.
But I wasn't angry enough to kill him.
Ignoring him, I joined Kiruba,
and now I stand alone.
I stand alone after losing him!
Oh, come on!
Aren't we here for you? Don't worry!
Let it go. Don't cry.
-Say something, Selva.
-Oh, Joseph!
-Joseph!
-Say something, man!
-It's all over!
BENJAMIN FAST FOOD
We must hold a meeting in two months, Kiruba.
The leader's coming.
Nagaraj was supposed to do it.
But you're in his position.
If you take care of this,
who knows, you could even be the next
Area Deputy Secretary instead.
I'll take care of that.
Can you put in a word to him about this?
Surely!
Do what you have to now.
BENJAMIN FAST FOOD
We finally managed to open our shop!
-Brother! Sit down.
-Hey! No way! Shut up.
Shut up, guys!
-Drag the table. Take that.
-You guys!
Feed him the sweets.
Look at him blushing!
-Joseph brother!
I'm very happy, brother!
-Everything is fine, right? All okay?
-Yes, brother! Super, bro!
-Where is Selva?
-He's outside.
-He's sitting outside?
-Yes.
-Check on him.
-I'll be back.
-Hey! Take care of them.
-Buddy, pass me the sweets.
Selva!
What are you doing here alone?
Nothing, brother.
Just taking a breather.
You came here because I asked you to.
I'm very happy.
Don't mention it, brother.
It's nothing!
The boys told me.
Don't worry, Selva.
I'll have your back, just like Benji would've.
Okay?
-Here.
-I'm good, brother.
Drop the formalities.

HEY!
Who are you people?
Why are you tearing down the posters?
I'm talking to you!
Who asked you to tear down the posters?
-Who?
-Udhay brother.
-You'll tear it down if he says so?
-Look!
We can get snappy, too.
Hey! Why should we get into trouble?
-Call him.
-Do it.
How dare you do things without asking me while I'm right here?
Hello?
Hey! What's going here?
They're picking up a fight for tearing down some poster.
"Some poster?"
Hey! Are you starting fights
because we didn't let you play in the tournament?
Mister Ronaldo! Understand what's happening
before you speak.
We are just questioning why they tore down
the posters without our permission.
How will these painters know
-who the hell is in that damn poster!
-You're dead if you don't talk with respect!
Just thrash them to death!
[commotion ensues]
-Let go! Let go of them! Leave!
-Karthi! Come on now!
Stop hitting! Let go, man!
HEY! Let go! LET GO!
Brother?
We didn't start the fight, brother.
I'll tell them, brother.
Jeeva! Listen to me.
Don't!
Keep quiet, brother.
Ruba! Selva is not picking up the call.
-Gather the boys and be ready. I'll be back.
-Hey!
Jeeva! Hey!
Hey! Jeeva!
Brother wants us to drop this issue.
Guna! Jagan!
I'm talking to you guys too!
~ I'm such a big drinker!
It all gets nasty! ~
~ You're dead if I catch you! ~
~ That's a Malayali scene!
Oh Gosh! She's one of a kind! ~
~ I'm quite the charmer
You'll fall for me! ~
~ She likes fair-skinned ones! ~
~ She'll get happy at the sight of cash! ~
~ he'll act as a woman at night ~
~ And sneaks booze illegally and gulps down! ~
Get off the bus, all four of you!
Guys, look!
Lord Hanuman.
Brother!
Head to the police station.
Get off the bus.
This is our route, damn it!
Why do we need to get off?
Hey! I asked you to get down
and you're acting all funny?
Get lost!
~ Ready to get smashed?
~ Ready to get wrecked? ~
~ Want to feel the wrath? ~
~ Shall I unleash hellfire? ~
~ Shall I amass an army
To quench my thirst for revenge? ~
~ My brows seethe with anger! ~
~ As foes quiver in fear ~
~ Get ready for my initial blow! ~
~ As my wrath surges! ~
~ You'll be battered and bruised! ~
~ As the war rages on ~
~ You'll be left lifeless and defeated ~
~ Days of patience are gone ~
~ Now wrath takes over! ~
~ Son of Ravan!
The beast he is! ~
~ Fight until your anger is quenched
Deliver the thrashing he's earned!~
~ Son of Ravan!
The beast he is! ~
~ Fight until your anger is quenched
Deliver the thrashing he's earned!~
~ Shall I bring your downfall? ~
~ Ready to taste an unforgettable pain? ~
~ Like a raging volcano
I'll bring the heat to our fight! ~
~ Enough pain endured,
Now it's payback with brutal violence! ~
~ It's a payback
The debt for your sin will be collected! ~
~ As his wrath rises!
The fight ignites! ~
~ As his wrath rises!
The fight ignites! ~
~ As his wrath rises!
The fight heats up! ~
~ It's a killing spree! ~
~ It's a bloodbath! ~
~ It's a slaughter!
It's brutal violence! ~
~ It's a killing spree!
It's brutal violence! ~

Watch out! ~

Watch out! ~
I warned Jeeva
not to get into a fight
with Karthi about the poster.
He came and told you
and dragged you into the fight.
What are you talking about?
How can we keep quiet
when they've torn Benji's poster?
You are right.
But I would have dealt with this.
You got into this for no reason and blew it up.
And you've also bashed his brother-in-law.
It's just that,
you were fighting amongst yourself
all these days.
And now he'll know all about it.
-I'm scared about that.
-Scared? What will he do?
What will he do?
You've bashed his brother-in-law.
What will you do if he sends
his men after you guys?
-We'll give it back to him.
-How can you talk like this?
Just shut up.
-Coward.
-Why is he talking like this, brother?
Didn't I ask you to drop that poster issue?
Why the hell did you get into a fight?
Should I solve your baby fights
instead of concentrating on the meetings?
-What? You think we have no other job? You shut up.
-Keep quiet.
They thrashed Guna at the theatre.
So, we gave it back to them.
-Are you asking us to keep quiet when they beat us up?
Yes, you should keep quiet.
You should learn to keep quiet
when you're supposed to keep quiet!
I wouldn't have reached this position
had I fought like you.
Get that into your head.
I can't be like you.
Listen, Karthi.
I've found a way to climb up the ladder.
Follow me if you can.
Don't cause problems between the two neighborhoods.
That's it.
If I say let it go, then let it go.
Understood?
Make him understand.
What are you looking at?
Shanthi sister?
Kiruba is here.
Come in. Welcome!
Isn't your husband home?
He's gone out for some office work.
Okay, sister.
Why do you want to get into trouble
while you're still studying?
I just got to know
they had thrashed your brother-in-law.
It doesn't matter.
See, even your son is injured.
He's lucky it wasn't anything major.
What if something terrible had happened?
You would've spent the rest of your life behind bars.
-Tell them not to get into fights after this.
-First tell this to your brother-in-law.
-Hey, Selva.
-Hey, Selva!
-Don't talk back to him.
-He's talking as if we started the fight.
They started it by tearing Benji's poster.
It was for the meeting.
Why do you take it so seriously?
They are at fault too.
I don't deny that.
We could have talked it out.
But you started a fight.
Even now, I'm not here to ask
why you thrashed my brother-in-law.
You are all the same to me.
This will never end if we keep finding faults.
I've spoken to them.
Let's end this here.
No, we can't.
Shut up, Selva.
Look at what they've done to him.
Should I keep quiet after all this?
It's okay. I thought I could resolve this issue.
But they just don't want to end it.
-I'll get going.
-Okay.
-Take care of your son.
-Why are you doing this?
See you, sister.
I got furious when Selva asked that question.
But brother was there.
So I stopped myself.
What did he say?
He spoke as if both sides were at fault.
When I asked him about that guy,
he asked me not to blow this up
and to take care of the meeting arrangements.
I think that's best.
You also try to stay away from trouble
till the meeting is over.
Brother will go wild if he learns otherwise.
Take care. See you then.
Karthi, I don't care
if you want to keep it down for your uncle.
I can't. Look at what they've done to me.
-I can't bear to look at myself in the mirror.
-Hey.
Stop talking as if you were the only one
who got beaten up.
I'm frustrated too.
He believes they'll offer him a post
if this meeting goes well.
Things will get risky if we try something
and it doesn't work out.
Be patient.
I can't wait for the meeting to end.
See what I do to them the very next day.
Hey, Selva.
Why did you have to talk to him like that?
-What did I do?
-Why are you two fighting now?
He'll do everything and try to compromise.
Why should we stay silent?
Two random guys tore the poster.
Why hold him responsible? Wait, you guys.
This has nothing to do with the poster.
I'm talking about Benji.
-How many times should we knock?
-Why are you bringing up the past?
Hey, Jamaal.
Take the booze and leave.
I said go. Leave him alone.
Come on, boys.
Let's go.
Here, smoke this.
Why are you shouting at the boys?
After learning he killed Benji,
I get so worked up when I see him.
Had he been alive today,
he would have changed the lives
of at least a few boys in this neighborhood.
And that includes my life.
Today, he sells marijuana through Karthi.
Boys of Arul's age are smoking up.
We do too.
And I know it's wrong.
But Benji wouldn't have let this happen.
He killed a good man,
and now he's the councilor.
I can't bear to see all this.
You are right.
He ruined both our lives in a day
and now he's leading a happy life.
But we can't do anything about it.
He's a big shot now.
Oh, really?
One stab and he'll be dead.
You're talking as if you'd kill him.
If I get a chance, no one can stop me.
He'd be gone forever.
Kanniyappa.
They really irritated me this week.
I couldn't sell anything past them.
Here.
Sounder has the rest.
Why is Shanmugam's poster all over the place?
Is he coming here?
Yes. They have a meeting on Vinayaka Chaturthi.
I think he's coming for that.
How do you know about it?
Don't you know?
I painted the walls for that meeting.
I overheard them talking.
-Do you know who's making the arrangements?
-Who is it?
Kiruba.
He's planning to get a post.
Hope it works out.
-See you, then.
-Okay.
~ No point chasing us out
We'd use ladders to climb back ~
~ Our fates won't change
Come and fight me if you dare ~
~ You and I have nothing to talk about,
Your mother doesn't wear a watch ~
~ Oh, don't touch me!
Don't lie in the high court! ~
~ Will you shine if you lie?
Polish it up! ~
~ Ten idlis with lentils sambar
Eight idlis with a spicy side dish! ~
~ Disgusting! You dumb head! ~
~ Don't mind what we eat
We make do with what we got ~
~ You and I have nothing to talk about,
Your mother doesn't wear a watch ~
~ Oh, don't touch me!
Don't lie in the high court! ~
~ Will you shine if you lie?
Polish it up! ~
~ Hey, give it to us!
And let us go! ~
~ Hey, give it to us!
And let us go! ~
Hey, you moron!
That's it!
Appu, sing one about Selva beating up Jeeva.
Why are you dragging me into this now?
~ Is this a brass cupboard?
Is Jeeva a hero in Tollywood? ~
[in Telugu] Jeeva, sir is here.
-What is it? Where are you going?
-Enough. Stop it.
Why are you asking him to stop?
You go on, bro.
You continue, bro.
Why is he frustrated?
He was given a red card at the match today.
That's the reason.
What's the big deal with that?
Have two pegs and night, and it'll all be okay.
Hey, Jeeva.
Aren't you celebrating Vinayaka Chaturthi this year?
-No, brother.
-Why?
Do you remember the problem Appu created
three years back after getting drunk?
The police stopped giving permission after that.
I'll get the permission if that's the only problem.
Get us the permission and see how we celebrate!
You start the collection,
and I'll take care of the permission.
Jeeva, let's start work tomorrow.
We'll go to Kunti Press.
He'll get the work done in an hour.
What happened?
I told the boys to go ahead.
Are you out of your mind, Kiruba?
This is a crucial meeting.
What if something goes wrong?
I know what I'm doing, Senthil.
You don't worry.
Let's go.
Has he lost it, Karthi?
Hit it!
We heartily welcome the pioneer
of our party
and the current secretary, brother Antony.
by adorning him with this shawl.
Our leader who has graced the occasion,
Mr. Shanmugham,
-Hey, bro!
He just started talking.
We might not have the time to start.
-This isn't going to work out.
-At this rate, the crowd will be long gone.
Hey, Jeeva. Call Joseph.
He said he was going to the hospital
with his wife.
We'll have to wait a bit.
I'm sure they'll try to start a fight
to get us into trouble.
Jagan, I'll smash your mouth in!
Those guys are nothing.
How often do I tell you not to fight them
and give them publicity!
Your uncle wants you to stay clear of any fights.
What's wrong with that?
Listen to your uncle
and settle down with a posting.
You need to move up the ladder so I can climb up.
These two are up next after me.
You keep forgetting this.
Your uncle would be looking for me.
I'll see you later.
If this constituency needs anything,
Kirubakar is always around.
I'm always around,
and most importantly our leader is here.
What more could you ask for?
There is a bright future ahead of us.
We need to work towards that.
[phone rings]
I say this for the sake of our development.
-I say this for our people.
-Tell me, Jeeva.
I told you I'm at the hospital with my wife.
So?
We've got the permission.
You get started. I'll join you in a while.
Hey, Joseph told us to get started.
Bro, switch on the set.
Why are you inviting trouble now?
-Oh, shut up.
-We can start after the meeting.
Wow! The Prophet himself has spoken.
He's the most useless guy on our team!
You're good for nothing!
The organizers of this event,
the gentlemen football club
are proud to host this grand concert!
We welcome everyone on behalf of the organizers
and on behalf of Michael rhythm's.
Is everyone ready?
Please give us a round of applause!
Thank you! Thank you!
Nobody can stop us, nor can hide it.
Use your power to show the opposition
that we will not stand for exploitation
by voting us into power in the upcoming elections.
For our people to come up
mere promises aren't enough.
We need to put the effort and have confidence.
Without your help,
this wouldn't be possible.
[sings popular Tamil song]
Hey!
Are you trying to start a fight?
Kill the audio.
Switch it off.
Hey, Jagan.
What's the problem here?
Hey.
What the hell is your problem?
We told you to start only after the meeting ended.
We can't wait for your permission
all the time. Get lost!
Keep talking like this,
and I'll break your jaw someday!
-Go on, Give it a try!
-Hey Karthi! Why are you making a scene here?
-You know nothing. Keep walking!
-Hey, Viji!
We're making a scene?
The meeting is supposed to end in ten minutes.
They're trying to play songs
and disrupt our meeting,
and you expect us to shut the hell up?
Why are you doing this?
You'll take your own sweet time to finish.
We can't keep waiting.
What can you do about it?
Get lost!
Hey, stop! Hey, Karthi!
Jeeva! Jeeva, stop it!
Hey, Reuben!
Let go! Let go!
Let go!
Stop! Let me go!
Hey, Selva! Don't do this!
Listen to me.
Run, Jagan. Run.
-Get up and run!
-Hey, Selvam.
Hey, Karthi! Listen to me.
Hey!
If your uncle found out, you'd be in trouble.
Selva!
Hey!
During times of calamities like floods or storms,
arrangements will be made to distribute
relief aid to the afflicted!
Hey!
Hey!
What the hell are you doing?
Hey! Hey, Karthi!
Hey!
Bring Karthi here!
Hey, Karthi!
Hey, Karthi!
Hey, Jeeva!
Hey, Jeeva!
Jeeva, listen to me.
Jeeva, stop!
Hey, Jeeva!
Let go!
Get him! Hey!
Let me go!
Jeeva, let go of him!
Hey!
Hit him. Hit him.
Come on!
Listen to me.
Hey, Guna. Don't do it.
-Hey, Karthi. Stop.
-Out of my way!
Hey!
[phone rings]
Hello?
Viji is unconscious!
He isn't moving, bro!
Where are you?
Come soon!
I'm really scared.
Hello, brother.
What happened?
Jagan is fine. He's in the general ward.
And that guy?
Viji is in the ICU.
Since Razak was around, I didn't go in.
You said you could manage this.
They screwed up your plan!
That's why I insisted
on not letting them conduct their program!
This is my problem, Senthil.
Don't poke your nose in this.
I know how to deal with this.
This isn't your personal problem.
We worked hard day and night to organize the meeting.
Everything's ruined, thanks to what you did!
-It's not as if all is lost.
-How could you be so casual?
Take him aside, brother.
-Do you think your idea would've worked?
-Take him aside.
[phone rings]
Tell me.
I'm on my way.
Hey, Udaya. Forget about him.
Come here.
-Brother.
-Where are Karthi and Guna?
-They're with Jagan.
-Ask them to stay there.
Okay.
Why did you do that?
-Mother's name?
-Palaniamma.
Your dad's phone number?
984-990
Tell me your name.
Reuben.
-Father's name?
-Johnson.
-Mother's name?
-Aarayi.
Tell me your father's phone number.
7-4-0
1-0
4-0-1-7-4
Is anyone from your house coming?
You want to strike up a compromise now?
Those guys broke up the meeting.
How could we let them go
-Both sides are to blame.
-They're coming, sir.
Hey!
-What's the problem?
-I'm giving him the details, sir.
Are you done? Get out of here.
Get out!
Yasin, get me some water.
Hey, Ruba.
I make a living by working as a house help.
How do you have the heart to do this?
What do I tell your dad?
What have you done?
-You're in trouble with the police at this age already!
-Oh, stop it, sister.
-What did they say?
-They took down my details.
Hey, why are you getting into trouble?
You were fine all these years.
Why are you getting involved in all this?
Do you want to get into drunken brawls?
Where did they learn this behavior?
-All because of this damn liquor!
-Where would they learn it from?
They have someone new to teach them.
They must have picked it up from him.
-Okay, ma'am.
-If you get the footage, call the station.
Okay, ma'am.
They started the fight by playing songs.
How could we compromise with them?
Those boys are the root of this problem.
Don't act like an idiot, Kiruba!
Everyone's saying that our meeting
was the cause of all the problems.
If something happens to that guy,
our heads will roll!
Wrap this up today.
Besides, your brother-in-law is involved.
Be careful.
[phone rings]
Hello? I'm here, sir.
I'm on my way.
What is it?
Karthi and Guna are here.
Why are they here?
Don't they understand the gravity of this?
Didn't I tell them?
Morons!
Oh, quiet. Stop crying.
Jeeva, can't you think for yourself
even if he's drunk?
-Why did you join him?
-Who asked you two to come here?
Won't you listen to me?
-I'm so mad. I'll kill you two right way!
-Selva!
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Let go of him!
Hey, pull them apart.
Karthi, let go of him!
Let me go!
Wait!
Stop!
Hey, can't you keep your hands to yourself?
You've already sent one guy to the hospital.
Why are you fighting again?
What did they say upstairs?
What did they say?
You think they'd let him off on a petty case?
Attempt to murder.
I begged them not to do that
and that we would talk it out.
They've agreed to a compromise
just because they are students.
I think that would be the right thing to do.
They agreed because they had nothing to lose.
-He's fine.
-So?
Would Kiruba ease up
if we filed a case against his brother-in-law?
What do you expect?
You want us to compromise out of fear for him?
Watch what you say.
If you want to file a case, go ahead.
Didn't I tell you to start
only after the meeting?
-Why'd you start by then?
-So? You'll beat us up?
-Keep quiet.
-They didn't come to hit you.
They came there to tell you to switch off the speakers.
You were the ones who insulted them.
If we insulted them, they should've fought us.
-Why'd he hit my brother?
-You kept hiding behind your brother!
Hiding behind him?
Who the hell hid from you?
-Why don't you fight me then?
-Karthi!
You want to fight? Come on!
Don't act tough just because your uncle is here.
Who's acting tough?
-Come on, let's fight it out!
-Come on!
-Drop it, Guna.
-Let's see who wins!
Hey, Karthi! Listen to me. Go back!
-Go back! Won't you listen to me?
-What are we to do?
-He's being too arrogant!
-I said shut up!
Hey, kid!
Razak, you better warn him.
You're just adding fuel to the fire
by arguing with us.
I know what to do to the guy you beat up.
-I'll pay your brother's hospital bills.
-You'll pay what now?!
I'll break his arm and pay the hospital expenses.
Is that fine?
-Hey, kid!
-Razak, he's crossing the limit. You better warn him.
-We should've whacked him back then! You didn't listen.
-Shut the hell up!
-Hey, Karthi!
-Udaya, take them away from here.
-What the hell does he think?
-How dare you argue with him like a kid?
-We'll get you someday!
-Won't you ever listen?
-Karthi! You'll get it back!
-Get the hell out of here!
Can't you shut the hell up?
He says he'll beat him up and pay.
You want me to walk away?
-You want to go to jail in this case?
-I will!
I can't walk away from a problem like you!
Razak!
Forget it, Selva.
Listen to him. Come on.
Hey, Selva!
You're still a kid.
Don't you have any brains?
Is this the place to talk about killing him?
Had I not left town that day,
my family would be on the streets now.
I went to the hospital and had a look at Viji.
Don't worry about anything.
We'll take care of him.
Razak told me about the problem.
I had never once told Benjamin
to do something in his life.
Benjamin believed you were just like him.
You're the victim.
Decide what you want to do
based on what's best for your family.
Okay?
These guys won't interfere in your life again.
The same applies to you.
Understood?
I'll make sure of that.
You shouldn't have accepted the compromise.
You think we accepted it wholeheartedly?
What else could we do
when Razak is speaking?
So, we kept quiet and accepted.
Yeah, why wouldn't he?
He's a coward who fled after Benji's death, after all.
He isn't the one who's grieving!
His brother is hospitalized.
Let it go, brother.
Like he'd escape from us.
We'll finish him off when we nab him!
What are you going to do now
after losing your only chance?
You knew to ring up when you had less money for booze.
Why couldn't you do the same
at the station before signing?
You all really proved that you're kids.
Kids? We'll continue to remain kids, then.
Leave us alone.
Forget what I said in anger and drink.
No, I don't want it.
What's with this new habit of yours?
It isn't new.
But it's been happening consistently since you arrived.
And that has led us to this issue.
Are you saying that I'm the reason?
Let it go!
We are a reason too!
That's why I say let's leave it.
I know how this would end otherwise.
The day I abandoned my game and pursued that,
I've been fueled with rage since.
Selva, be serious a--
This is my problem. I'll deal with it.
Leave me alone.
I told you I spoke out of anger.
Here.
Drink this.
Murthy?
Can you get me a job?
Why?
My dad doesn't work.
And my sister-in-law will have a baby soon
and no one else is employed.
That's why.
Listen, you're welcome to smoke
all the weed you want.
Why do you want to risk yourself?
Speaks as if he's unaware of the risks involved.
I'll let you know.
Don't.
My hand!
Ow, my hand!
Bro, bro!
I won't do it again, spare me!
Please, it hurts!
Please don't, bro!
Spare us please, bro!
What are you looking at?
What are you staring at?
If I catch you all peddling drugs again,
-I'll kill you!
-Don't!
Didn't I tell you we'd get caught in their area?
So? Does that mean they'd thrash us?
Why do they have to engage in drug peddling alone?
I swear we must do something to them!
Why do you over think a trivial matter?
Why do you care?
You ran away leaving us behind!
Only we know how it felt to be beat up!
Shut it if you aren't interested.
Robert?
What do you say?
What are you thinking about?
Forget us.
What did your brother do to them?
Don't forget about that.
Hello, Kiruba brother.
Put in a word regarding Karthi's post too.
Do you expect me to get him a post
and remain answerable to everyone?
I told him so for his diligence.
-Learn to put people in their place.
-Brother.
Stay here. I'll be back.
-Hello, brother.
-Hello.
Yes, tell me.
Nothing much, Kiruba.
The leader chose Senthil over you
for the post, based on seniority.
He's worked for the party for ten years.
Not only that, he's also upset
that the meeting went awry.
And Senthil used that to his advantage!
I have also been at the party for ten years.
Who else do I work for besides the party and you?
I even resolved the case
just because he said so.
But now?
Did you all forget my years of work
just because of one small mishap?
A small mishap?
We asked you to conduct it
to grab the people's attention.
We assigned you a task because
of your dedication to this party.
But you ruined it.
I miscalculated that you would be Nagaraj's successor.
Forget about the post
and start working on the elections.
Didn't you boast about easy access
once your uncle got you the post?
That's why I kept quiet about Jagan's problem all along!
Karthi.
Time for you to decide what we do about this.
Come on, come on!
Hurry!
Catch him!
Udaya, check what's wrong.
-Hey, boy!
-Move out of the way!
You promised they wouldn't interfere.
Well, to hell with your promise!
-They fought us at college!
-How dare you speak that way!
-Get out of here!
-How dare you hit him!
Udaya, don't!
I said let go!
Stop fighting with each other!
Keep quiet, I said!
What the hell is your problem now?
Your brother-in-law brought weapons
to college to kill us!
And because of him,
we're going to be dismissed!
-What's your deal now?
-Enough, Udaya!
I told you that I'd withdraw the complaint
and we'd resolve this smoothly, right?
Why do you keep causing trouble for us?
Listen, boy. If I wanted to cause trouble,
you wouldn't be alive now.
I still have no clue
what the issue is with you two.
That is between you two.
Don't drag me into your mess.
I'm already riled up over here.
You better leave.
I'm only quiet because of the recent loss on your side.
-Be careful.
-What? A recent loss?
What about Benji?
We know that you killed Benji
and blamed Joseph for it.
Don't pretend to know what happened!
All of you were mere kids, then.
Yes, we were mere kids.
That's why you're still alive.
You better warn him.
If he continues to do this,
it won't hesitate to pick up a knife.
Shall we go someplace and lay low?
Did we jump the gun to lay low?
It's safe if we stay here.
Now that your father spotted you,
it's best if you surrender yourself.
Alone?
Yeah.
Someone must stay outside
to take you out on bail, right?
I'll talk to Nagaraj.
He'd know someone.
Will he do that for me?
He will do it for me.
And he would benefit the most
out of this, than me.
Don't think twice, Joseph.
I won't let things go wrong.
I'll talk to him
and get you out in a week.
If that man is in trouble,
we should help him.
But we have to keep quiet when we are in trouble.
This is how he'll treat us
if you go submissive with him.
I'm not for it.
I'll take care of him then.
Listen. We can't trust him.
Let's sort this out now.
The number you're trying to call
is currently not reachable.
The number you're trying to call
is currently not reachable.
Try again later.
Shall we go?
Mani isn't answering my calls.
Let's wait for two minutes.
Do you think I'll recommend you for the post
after what you did?
This is precisely why I asked you to keep it low.
But you didn't listen.
Don't you dare talk to me about the posting again.
I'll kill you all!
The number you're trying to call
is currently not reachable. Please try again later.
Murthy.
He's alone now.
This is our chance. Let's go!
Mani would be waiting outside with a vehicle.
What if he isn't there?
The movie will end soon and everyone will leave.
This is our only chance.
If we miss this
we won't get another one.
Damn, why is he there?
You idiot. You were the one who said he was alone.
He was alone when I saw him.
We should have gone right then.
He would be dead by now.
It's all because of you.
-Come, we'll go.
-What? Why?
Let's not do this, Robert.
Come on, let's go.
Don't act like an idiot, Robert.
Hey! He'd kill us if he knew we were here.
We have a knife with us.
Please, understand.
Hey, it's okay if you don't want to come.
I'm going.
-Why don't you just listen?
-Let me go.
Leave me.
Robert, listen to me.
Let me go.
Hey, let me go.
What the hell do you think you are doing?
He's the reason my brother is on his deathbed.
The two people responsible for it are down there.
Let's finish them.
If you're not coming, I'll go.
Get him!
Brother!
Get him!
Get the knife.
-Hey!
-Go.
-Hey!
-Let's go! Let's go!
Get them!
We need to find those boys first.
They've been supplying marijuana
in this neighborhood for a few months.
I'm not sure if they fought over a girl or money.
They killed your son in that process and escaped.
We'll know why they killed your son
only when we enquire them.
This is exactly why I said not to mess with them.
I was against this as well.
But he never listened to me.
The police are looking for me
because of what you did.
Oh Lord, who rests upon the cross!
The Lord who shed blood for us!
The eternal God of this world!
We all pray to you and only you.
We pray to you with all our gratitude.
We shall pray day and night.
Please take care of us, Oh Lord!
Our prayers all day and night
are our offering to you, oh Lord Jesus!
My peace be upon those who pray to you.
Glory be to you. The praise is all yours!
In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Amen!
Mani and Murthy are here.
Robert said he wanted to help his family
and asked me to help him find a job.
-Does he know you're working for me?
-No, brother.
-Ask him to come.
-Okay.
I think this is unnecessary.
Hey, I know what I'm doing.
You get lost.
Do as you wish.
I told Selva that talking about compromise won't work.
But he
got drunk and told me he knew what he was doing.
He doesn't care about Viji as much as we do.
He didn't think about his family for a second.
I can't stand to see you cry.
Alright, let it go.
This place belongs to Kanniyappan.
I'll make sure Selva doesn't get to know.
-Brother?
-Take him home.
-Okay.
Come, let's go.
We used to bunk school
and sell drugs for the money he paid us.
One day, Joseph called us
saying we've got an opportunity to grow up in life.
He gave us a packet of marijuana
and asked us to sell it in Karthi's neighborhood.
It is risky, Joseph.
Hey! People come up in life only by taking risks.
-You better get back to school.
-Alright, brother. See you!
[Murthy] Please, brother.
I won't do it again. Leave me.
Let me go, brother. Please!
I'll kill you!
You shouldn't have done this, Joseph.
Karthi thrashed those kids.
I convinced him,
saying the boys didn't know they were on his turf.
[Murthy]You ran away leaving us behind!
Only we know how it felt to be beat up!
Shut it if you aren't interested.
Robert?
What do you say?
What are you thinking about?
Forget us.
What did your brother do to them?
Don't forget about that.
He's doing all this because he has Kiruba's support.
He's the reason for my brother's death
and your brother being bedridden.
You can't earn enough to support your family
while he's around, Robert.
Keep this in mind.
I'll tell you what to do and when.
Take Murthy along.
You take the lead.
Got it?
I've got your back.
Remember that too.
Be bold and do it.
Every time we went to see him,
he'd give us money
and dope to smoke.
This was a routine.
But last week,
Joseph suddenly called us saying it was urgent.
Robert and I went to meet him.
Oh Lord Almighty!
Let this world be purified
and your will reach the ends of this earth.
Lord, may you grant eternal rest upon Robert's soul.
May you bless his family, relatives
and friends, with the strength to endure this loss.
In the name of the Holy Spirit,
we pray, Amen! Amen! Amen!
[in unison] Amen!

Hey, Selva?
Selva?
-Selva, Mom's calling you.
-I heard her. Shut up now.
-Why are you screaming now?
-Aren't you late?
-[Selva] This is my mom, Malathy.
Take this.
She used to run a fish shop near the station.
Mala fish shop was very famous.
Give this to Arul.
She shut down her business
after Arul was born to care for the three of us.
-Hey, Mala!
Your husband passed out drunk
near the Mariyamman temple.
He used to supply fish
in our neighborhood market every morning.
A few years after I was born,
he pawned my mom's jewelry and bought a pickup truck.
He started drinking daily
with the money that was left.
My mom tried to get him quit drinking
by talking to him, begging him, crying to him,
scolding him, and even hitting him.
But nothing worked.
That was when Mary showed up.
Peace be with you.
You haven't changed caste but just changed your mind.
We're ready to build houses across the city.
But you're all against it.
You'll build houses for us.
But what about our livelihood?
A few people run shops on Moonu Road, sir.
But most of us make our living from fishing.
How could we leave this place
abandoning our jobs?
We won't.
What do you propose then?
We would appreciate it if you built a brick house
for all of us and not just the ones affected by the tsunami.
Benji is the sponsor in our neighborhood,
right from our team's jerseys to the entry fees.
This is Razak.
He and Benji are the heart of our football team.
They are the organizers and sponsors,
be it a tournament or festival.
Benji likes football.
But he loves boxing.
He won the zone, district, division,
state and went to the nationals in boxing.
He was the runner.
But he couldn't go beyond the nationals,
no matter how hard he tried.
He slowly stopped practicing.
He then started a federation for the poor
and started teaching boxing and football.
I've dreamt of becoming
a football player all my life.
Jeeva and I scored seven goals
in the first match
to beat the opponent
at the tournament four years back.
From that day, we became famous in our neighbourhood.
And we got to know everyone there.
Other teams wanted us to play as guests after that.
We've played for a few small clubs in Madras.
A bigger club selected me after watching my game.
But they asked me to pay 50, 000.
Brother, a first-class club saw his game
and has given him a chance
to play for their club.
He'll come up in life if he plays for them.
Okay. But he's asking for money.
-I can't afford that much money.
-Sell your truck and give me that money.
Senseless idiot. We make our living with that truck.
Idiot.
-Hey! How dare you?
You have no other place to go.
I'll break your legs when you come back.
Let it go.
It was your dad who scolded, after all.
Appu's father also scolds him every day.
-You thief. Don't you talk about it!
-Hey!
What are you guys doing here at this hour?
[Selva] This is Joseph, Benji's brother.
He's friends with Kiruba
who sells bootleg alcohol.
Why are you hanging around with a bootlegger?
Who are you to question me?
As if you are in good company.
-Benji.
How many times do I have to warn you?
Why are you loitering here?
I teach boxing and football to school goers
so they don't take the wrong route, Kanniyappa.
But you run your drugs
through those kids. You jerk!
Look, Kiruba.
This is your last warning.
If I see anyone selling drugs here again,
you'll get it from me.
Come home.
Hey!
What are you guys doing here at this hour?
Go. Get down.
Did you talk to Nagaraj?
He said we can get it done.
That's good news.
Are you two not happy about it?
I thought I'd get the drugs from Andhra
and get started if I had the money.
Nobody would lend me the money.
What is it, Kiruba?
You said we'd do business together
and make it big.
-Are you trying to cut me out now?
-Enough, Joseph.
How else should I take it?
You go around asking for money from everyone but me.
I was the one who came up with this idea, right?
Yes, it was you.
I don't deny it.
But
I can't let you take on the entire burden.
It's fair if we share the investment equally.
Anyway, how will you arrange for so much money?
You'll have to ask your brother.
Why would I ask him?
Just tell me how much we need to get it.
I told you already.
We can get started if we have one lakh.
I'll invest.
You get it here.
What are we waiting for, Kiruba?
Our partner said he'll give the entire sum.
Let's get started.
And if you contest in the upcoming elections
and become a ward member or a councilor
-we wouldn't have to ask anyone.
-Hey.
I've already decided to contest.
-You heard that, Kiruba.
-You think he can't?
Nagarajan used to brew liquor
at Tinnanur a decade back.
But didn't he get a chance to contest for the councilor post?
Money speaks.
We'll also settle in life and go legit.
Am I right, Joseph?
Nothing much, brother.
I thought I'd contest
in the councilor elections this year.
You were in power back then.
It would be fair to start with you.
What do you say, Benji?
The election is due in six months.
If I talk to the people at that time,
they would think I'm doing it for their vote.
I wish to do some good to people like you.
It would be nice if you and Benji supported me.
Everyone here listens to Benji.
Nagaraj, this year
I'm planning to make Benjamin contest.
Oh! Is it?
He might want to do something for the boys.
Of course. Of course, let him.
I hope you don't have a problem.
No, brother. It doesn't matter if I do it
or if Benji does it.
I'm happy if something good happens to the people.
-I'll get going, brother.
-Okay.
Let me know if you need help.
No formalities.
See you, brother.
-See you, Benji.
-Okay.
See you.
SELVA?
Did your dad say anything about the money?
He gets furious if I ask him for the money.
Alright, come with me.
I'll be back.
Dad?
Dad?
-Why don't you respond?
-What is it?
Did you take Mom's chain from the cupboard?
Why would I take it?
Where the hell is he?
JOSEPH?
JOSEPH?
Do you think he took it?
He wouldn't have.
You didn't take it, nor did I.
I'm pretty sure he took it.
-Benji, listen to me.
-He never listens to me.
-Listen to me, Benji.
-He'll never change his ways.
-Listen to me, Benji.
-He's a worthless idiot.
-We'll talk to him when he comes home.
-You keep quiet, Dad.
-Hello?
-The money is ready.
I'll come.
-What is he saying?
-He's arranged for the money.
-Super.
-What do you mean?
That guy suddenly said he cannot do this for us.
That's something only you and I know.
Don't discuss this with him.
He's got the money in hand now.
If we tell him, it's all gone.
We'll pay the money to Nagaraj,
talk to him, and get this going.
Hey, Joseph.
Hey, Joseph!
Did you take the chain?
-What chain?
-Don't act smart. Did you take Mom's chain?
-Why would I?
-Don't lie to me.
What the hell is your problem?
It's between us.
Don't you interfere.
-Don't do this, Benji.
-Did you take it or not?
-I'm already furious.
-What? I should be the one to be angry.
Why are you shouting at him now?
-Joseph, you better ask your brother to leave.
-I won't. What will you do?
-Don't push me, Benji.
-Yes, I took it. What will you do about it?
Why should I answer you?
I'm supposed to keep quiet
while that oldie gives you everything?
Kiruba and I are planning to start a business
with that money.
Do what you want to do.
And you think it's business
to do drug dealing with this moron.
Hey, let me go.
Let me go.
Stop it, Benji.
Listen to me.
Stop it, Benji.
How dare you steal Mom's chain?
I'll kill you.
Selva is here.
Come, you!
What's the matter, Selva?
Did I scare you?
-No, brother.
-Okay, fine.
Are you practicing every day?
Yes. I'm regular.
Good.
You've got to practice regularly.
Whether you win or lose
you should never give up on the game.
It'll be your bread and butter in the future.
Okay.
Come home tomorrow and collect the money.
-Get going.
-Okay.
-Go home.
-Okay.
Go home safe.
He should be content with playing football and getting drunk.
What the hell is his problem?
Why does he keep poking his nose in our work?
We should have killed him
when he fought with us in the morning.
We can't make a living as long as he's around, Joseph.
You will live out your days,
claiming your dad and brother were a councilor once.
As far as I'm concerned,
we should be ready to kill anyone who gets in our way.
Be it Benjamin or Nagaraj.
There's no point in being disgruntled instead.
There's no one around when he goes home drunk.
I'll take care of him.
What do you say?
-Hello?
-Hey, Kiruba!
Why is Benji home?
What? Upstairs?
Hello? Hey!
Hey! Hello?
Hey!
What's the matter? I thought you were asleep.
No.
-Are you still mad at me?
-No, I'm going back down.
We'll talk about it downstairs.
What the hell are you doing here?
Hey, Joseph! Grab him!
Is Selva in?
-Hey.
-What?
Where are you taking him?
-I'm asking you a question!
-Hey, Selva.
-Jeeva!
-Selva?
Hey!
Why are you picking fights with Karthi?
Can you only see what we do?
Are you blind to what they do?
Where is he?
You don't understand the gravity of the situation!
You guys are going
to get into something deep someday.
He's taking a shower inside.
Go.
Hey, Selva! Karthi and Guna have torn up
Benjamin's posters!
Ma'am. You made a mistake.
Why did you stop with just one son?
If you had another son,
he would've made ten other towns flourish!
It wasn't your fault.
I wonder what my boy is doing.
And where he is.
[Selva] Conflict.
This conflict started even before I was born.
This will never end, even after I die!
Someone's bound to clash with someone else
under some other name or cause.
This time, it's me.
School, college, the neighborhood,
ground, and the bus. We fought everywhere.
But that was last year.
I'm in my final year now.
If I have a problem,
the whole college would have my back.
~ I'm Kokki Kumar in the rough neighborhoods! ~
~ Kolamaavu Kokila, she isn't worth chasing! ~
Karthi, Guna, and Jagan.
Karthi is Kiruba's brother-in-law.
In a forest, the wolves rejoice when the lion dies.
It was Kiruba's turn to be happy.
He sells Marijuana in the neighborhood
through his brother-in-law.
Selva! Do you know what Karthi did?
He smuggled a pack in Jamaal's brother's bag.
Looks like he got into trouble.
Jamaal and his father are at the police station.
They used the same tactic
at the ground once to drag us into a fight.
Hey! What's your problem?
Do you guys own this ground?
Who said so?
If you want, come and play.
So, you'll chase away children then?
They were rolling joints here like you do.
That's why we chased them away.
This didn't start here.
Is this M2?
Appu?
Hey.
There's a new girl in the accounts class.
Did anyone have a look?
Did you see her? She's gorgeous.
You'd say that about any old lady!
"She's gorgeous, " it seems!
Well, look who's talking!
Forget about him, Appu.
We'll go have a look during lunch. Okay?
-Sure, man.
-I'll join you guys.
-Yeah! Let's go!
-The hell you will.
Boys.
~ We're a bunch of smart boys! ~
~ We're a bunch of cocky boys! ~
~ Cocky boys! ~
~ We're a bunch of smart boys! ~
~ We're a bunch of cocky boys! ~
~ We lead the way in fights! ~
~ And when we do, we pack a punch! ~
~
~ Your gaze meets me ~
~ Unknown to the world ~
~ With unspoken words ~
~ Unknown to the world ~
~ This moment fills me with joy
~ The hidden dreams in my heart ~
~ Take wings and flies ~
~ I too shall fly high
~
~ And touch the skies ~
~ Shores seem afar but
My world is beside me ~
Here she comes.
~ Even your walk is graceful! ~
~ Graceful! ~
-Hey! Roach-face!
-Hey, where's Jeeva?
Bro!
Just as we were about to leave,
the chemistry teacher gave us some work.
-I made a run for it, but Jeeva got caught.
-Says who?
-Looks like he made it out.
-You know what?
While I was helping the chemistry teacher
move the chairs,
I turned around
and bumped into Shailu.
-I felt a jolt run through my body.
-Hey!
Lucky guy!
If I knew about it, I would have joined you.
-Hey, Ruba. Is there a way I can switch to arts?
-Like hell there is.
Hey!
I'm in love with her.
Priya. Aarthi. Sri.
-Are you in love with someone?
-No.
I'm in love with you then.
Sorry. I'm not interested.
I'm in love with her. I'm serious.
Hey! Tell me who you haven't been in love with.
I'll propose to her tomorrow.
Why wait till tomorrow?
Do it today!
What are you looking at?
We'll stay away because you love her.
Not everyone will wait.
What matters most is whom she likes.
He's back. It's your turn.
Hey! Get going!
-Keep walking, knuckle-head.
-Damn you!
Shailu!
Are you in love with someone?
No.
-I'm in love with you.
-Okay.
I haven't even seen you before.
All I get is one free hour.
They asked me to substitute for her then.
-We'll talk later.
-What can I do?
I'll talk to you later.
There he is.
What happened?
What's with that look on his face?
-I wonder what happened.
-Hey, did you tell her everything?
-Look at him blush.
-I told her.
~ Oh my dear,
You're beloved is here ~
~ When we are together,
The festivities start! ~
~ Oh ho! ~
~ Oh ho! ~
What did Vicky do after that?
You know that lady who runs the kiosk?
He was trying to flirt with her.
-With her?
-And her husband saw this.
Did he chase him down?
-Yeah, he had to make a run for it.
-Hey!
Karthi and his gang are beating up Appu
in the bathroom!
Hey!
What did you tell that girl yesterday?
-Why?
-Answer my question.
-I won't.
-What?
How dare you?
Selva, you're crossing the limit.
What do you expect?
You guys have been in the same class
for four years now.
Are we supposed to treat you with respect?
Hey! The PT is on his way!
The PT is on his way!
Let go.
Hey! That's his girl.
Look!
You better forget her.
Let's go.
Shailu.
-You still haven't answered my question.
-Hey!
Didn't I tell you the other day?
to stop talking to her?
-Don't you understand?
-Hey!
-I'm talking to him. What's your problem?
-What?
I said I'm talking to him. What's your problem?
You heard her. Get lost.
What?
-Don't ever see me again!
-Okay.
Get going, morons.
Tell me.
I asked you the other day.
You didn't answer me.
Finish schooling and come back.
[in Malayalam] I'll tell you then.
~ Oh, my distant star ~
~ My heart dwells on this moment ~
~ Like a poetic drizzle ~
~ Your silence mesmerizes me ~
~ With unheard melodies ~
~ Your gaze meets me ~
~ With unspoken words ~
~ Your love speaks ~
~ Oh, my unseen tears ~
~ My heart embraces you ~
~ The path never ends ~
~ When Love remains our eternal companion ~
~ Love remains our eternal companion ~
~ What's there to think? ~
~ I'm addicted to you! ~
~ I'm addicted to you! ~

[Selva] Ever since mom died,
Viji has been taking care of the family.
And I was his biggest concern.
He wants me to get good at the game
so that I land a job in the railways.
Hey.
Why don't you apply for the railway's selection?
I didn't have a problem with the game,
but with the selection.
They want five lakhs
for my name to appear on the list.
-Why did you change the channel?
-Morons!
I should get it without paying a dime.
Did I ever do that while you were watching?
-Quiet.
-Hey!
I'm asking you a question,
but you don't answer.
They want money.
Do you have it?
That's not your problem.
I told you I'd take care of that.
Why don't you apply this time
instead of being idle?
Keep quiet. You don't know what you are talking about.
Keep quiet?
You'll be barred due to your age.
College ends in six months.
Whether you get a chance or not,
don't ever give up on the game.
Doesn't matter if it's of use to you.
It would benefit someone else, Benji used to say.
He's not around anymore.
His void is yet to be filled.
I don't want to be like Benji.
He wouldn't have wanted me to be like him.
I want to play football.
On the next level.
I played all the games,
regardless of whether it was big or small.
I used every chance that was offered to me.
I've knocked on all the doors.
But even if you have the strength in your legs,
they'd never let you boot up
that easy.
Even if you had the strength in your arms,
they'd never let you wear the gloves that easy.
That makes my blood boil.
Those on the other team
are usually on the receiving side.
The club would eventually dismiss me.
I'd come back home, all burnt out,
and Viji would ask why I didn't apply for the selections.
Now I understand why Benji moved away from boxing.
-Yes?
-I'd like to meet Sounder.
Partner!
-Come in, partner!
-That's okay.
-I insist.
-Wear a shirt. We'll go a tea shop.
-Hey, shall I drop you off at the bus stand?
-No, I'll walk.
That's my sister.
Wait, I'll wear my shirt.
You just got out.
We can't rush into this.
And if we miss, we are screwed!
You messed up terribly
when you tried this before.
But him?
He got out in three months.
Find out what he is up to now.
And find someone who'd do that.
How's your partner doing?
You mean Kiruba?
Who else then?
Don't ever say this on the outside.
He'll have me killed.
Nagaraj became the councilor
a year after you went to jail.
And Kiruba started selling drugs
just as he wanted.
He secretly supplied local stores tobacco items
that were banned by the government.
And used the profit to bribe the police and Nagaraj.
Slowly, he made his way
into the party through Nagaraj.
Kiruba is now his main henchman.
He started mediating deals in real estate,
and government auctions moving up the ladder slowly.
As Nagaraj grew more influential,
Kiruba grew with him.
He became popular by sponsoring
religious festivals,
resolving disputes, and being charitable
in the locality.
He contested for and won the councilor post.
If Kiruba hadn't killed Benji,
Kumar and I would've murdered him
and been in his position.
He beat us to it.
And the second runner-up gets 5,000 rupees.
We request the players
to register the team at the stage.
What a shot! Yay!
What a fantastic goal that was!
-Brother. Gentlemen team.
-Hey!
-Entry's closed. So get going!
-Closed?
I don't find the place crowded though.
They're going to cheat
and win overall, regardless.
Who would want to enter?
That's none of your business.
-Leave this place. Now!
-Have you forgotten the past?
What's all the commotion about?
They started it first!
Karthi, remember how you lost
and fled in shame?
-What is your problem now?
-Selva! Stop digging up the past and cause a scene!
-Get going, first.
-Brother.
We're here to participate,
not to create a scene.
We cannot let you in.
Leave here, now.
-You've been a nuisance since Benjamin's reign.
-There they go.
Do you recognize who that loudmouth is?
He's Viji's brother.
It's never peaceful if he's involved in anything.
Jeeva, that guy's getting all riled up.
-He'll get it from me someday.
-Yeah, yeah.
Hey, Kiruba runs this tournament.
It's a given that they'd act smart.
Who does this Kiruba think of himself?
You called? What's the matter?
-Haven't you become a big shot of now?
-Oh, please.
I saw your partner at the bar.
What's up with him?
Poor guy. Looks like he got out only yesterday.
He called me to drink with him.
That's about it.
I see. What does he have in mind?
He said he'd manage the eatery.
That's what we discussed.
Okay then, I'll see you.
I hurried here, thinking it was urgent.
-I will, in time.
-Okay.
-Brother?
-Come.
-Here's your change.
-Keep it!
-Oh, keep it.
Okay.
-Jamaal?
-Yeah?
What was the ruckus at the ground?
It's the usual drama.
The usual drama?
Doesn't Kiruba intervene in this?
They've been fighting since school.
No one knows when this will explode
and reach Kiruba.
-Ok. Go.
-Okay, brother.
That problem never ended then.
Kiruba seems to be pissed with us.
One day at Chamber Ground,
a small fight turned into a big issue.
Selva disrespected Kiruba when he tried to mediate.
We've fought so many times before.
But that fight at the ground
led to a fight between the two hoods.
That was when Kiruba entered the scene.
We all kept quiet, avoiding him.
But it was Selva who spoke to him rudely.
-Are you serious?
-Yeah!
After a compromise by the Corporation officials
Kiruba told the two teams to alternate
between the mornings and evenings.
Selva, unnecessarily
yelled at Kiruba with grudge.
JESUS FAST FOOD
What is Selva up to?
He plays for a small club.
He plays for the fun of it.
He lost interest in football
after missing the opportunity when he was young.
-Remember the commotion at the ground?
-Yeah?
The one when he picked a fight with Karthi
It wasn't because they were pissed at them
but because of the grudge he had against Kiruba.
You could ask the boys too.
Now that you learnt everything about him,
let's plot and kill him soon.
And?
Do you want me to serve time again?
Don't you think I can find a partner
like Kiruba found me?
My brother was well respected.
It wasn't me who killed Benji that night.
On the day Benji hit me and Kiruba,
Kiruba called me to the terrace that night.
I hurried upstairs.
The room was filled with blood.
Kiruba was sitting next to Benji's head.
Before I could reach, he had died.
Why didn't you say the truth in court?
You think they'd believe me?
There was commotion at the market, that morning.
Benji lay dead in a pool of blood that evening.
And my shirt was soaked in it.
In that situation, would you still believe me?
No one but my father believed me.
He accepted me despite being called a murderer by everyone.
Benji and I have been feuding since childhood.
But I wasn't angry enough to kill him.
Ignoring him, I joined Kiruba,
and now I stand alone.
I stand alone after losing him!
Oh, come on!
Aren't we here for you? Don't worry!
Let it go. Don't cry.
-Say something, Selva.
-Oh, Joseph!
-Joseph!
-Say something, man!
-It's all over!
BENJAMIN FAST FOOD
We must hold a meeting in two months, Kiruba.
The leader's coming.
Nagaraj was supposed to do it.
But you're in his position.
If you take care of this,
who knows, you could even be the next
Area Deputy Secretary instead.
I'll take care of that.
Can you put in a word to him about this?
Surely!
Do what you have to now.
BENJAMIN FAST FOOD
We finally managed to open our shop!
-Brother! Sit down.
-Hey! No way! Shut up.
Shut up, guys!
-Drag the table. Take that.
-You guys!
Feed him the sweets.
Look at him blushing!
-Joseph brother!
I'm very happy, brother!
-Everything is fine, right? All okay?
-Yes, brother! Super, bro!
-Where is Selva?
-He's outside.
-He's sitting outside?
-Yes.
-Check on him.
-I'll be back.
-Hey! Take care of them.
-Buddy, pass me the sweets.
Selva!
What are you doing here alone?
Nothing, brother.
Just taking a breather.
You came here because I asked you to.
I'm very happy.
Don't mention it, brother.
It's nothing!
The boys told me.
Don't worry, Selva.
I'll have your back, just like Benji would've.
Okay?
-Here.
-I'm good, brother.
Drop the formalities.

HEY!
Who are you people?
Why are you tearing down the posters?
I'm talking to you!
Who asked you to tear down the posters?
-Who?
-Udhay brother.
-You'll tear it down if he says so?
-Look!
We can get snappy, too.
Hey! Why should we get into trouble?
-Call him.
-Do it.
How dare you do things without asking me while I'm right here?
Hello?
Hey! What's going here?
They're picking up a fight for tearing down some poster.
"Some poster?"
Hey! Are you starting fights
because we didn't let you play in the tournament?
Mister Ronaldo! Understand what's happening
before you speak.
We are just questioning why they tore down
the posters without our permission.
How will these painters know
-who the hell is in that damn poster!
-You're dead if you don't talk with respect!
Just thrash them to death!
[commotion ensues]
-Let go! Let go of them! Leave!
-Karthi! Come on now!
Stop hitting! Let go, man!
HEY! Let go! LET GO!
Brother?
We didn't start the fight, brother.
I'll tell them, brother.
Jeeva! Listen to me.
Don't!
Keep quiet, brother.
Ruba! Selva is not picking up the call.
-Gather the boys and be ready. I'll be back.
-Hey!
Jeeva! Hey!
Hey! Jeeva!
Brother wants us to drop this issue.
Guna! Jagan!

I warned Jeeva
not to get into a fight
with Karthi about the poster.
He came and told you
and dragged you into the fight.
What are you talking about?
How can we keep quiet
when they've torn Benji's poster?
You are right.
But I would have dealt with this.
You got into this for no reason and blew it up.
And you've also bashed his brother-in-law.
It's just that,
you were fighting amongst yourself
all these days.
And now he'll know all about it.
-I'm scared about that.
-Scared? What will he do?
What will he do?
You've bashed his brother-in-law.
What will you do if he sends
his men after you guys?
-We'll give it back to him.
-How can you talk like this?
Just shut up.
-Coward.
-Why is he talking like this, brother?
Didn't I ask you to drop that poster issue?
Why the hell did you get into a fight?
Should I solve your baby fights
instead of concentrating on the meetings?
-What? You think we have no other job? You shut up.
-Keep quiet.
They thrashed Guna at the theatre.
So, we gave it back to them.
-Are you asking us to keep quiet when they beat us up?
Yes, you should keep quiet.
You should learn to keep quiet
when you're supposed to keep quiet!
I wouldn't have reached this position
had I fought like you.
Get that into your head.
I can't be like you.
Listen, Karthi.
I've found a way to climb up the ladder.
Follow me if you can.
Don't cause problems between the two neighborhoods.
That's it.
If I say let it go, then let it go.
Understood?
Make him understand.
What are you looking at?
Shanthi sister?
Kiruba is here.
Come in. Welcome!
Isn't your husband home?
He's gone out for some office work.
Okay, sister.
Why do you want to get into trouble
while you're still studying?
I just got to know
they had thrashed your brother-in-law.
It doesn't matter.
See, even your son is injured.
He's lucky it wasn't anything major.
What if something terrible had happened?
You would've spent the rest of your life behind bars.
-Tell them not to get into fights after this.
-First tell this to your brother-in-law.
-Hey, Selva.
-Hey, Selva!
-Don't talk back to him.
-He's talking as if we started the fight.
They started it by tearing Benji's poster.
It was for the meeting.
Why do you take it so seriously?
They are at fault too.
I don't deny that.
We could have talked it out.
But you started a fight.
Even now, I'm not here to ask
why you thrashed my brother-in-law.
You are all the same to me.
This will never end if we keep finding faults.
I've spoken to them.
Let's end this here.
No, we can't.
Shut up, Selva.
Look at what they've done to him.
Should I keep quiet after all this?
It's okay. I thought I could resolve this issue.
But they just don't want to end it.
-I'll get going.
-Okay.
-Take care of your son.
-Why are you doing this?
See you, sister.
I got furious when Selva asked that question.
But brother was there.
So I stopped myself.
What did he say?
He spoke as if both sides were at fault.
When I asked him about that guy,
he asked me not to blow this up
and to take care of the meeting arrangements.
I think that's best.
You also try to stay away from trouble
till the meeting is over.
Brother will go wild if he learns otherwise.
Take care. See you then.
Karthi, I don't care
if you want to keep it down for your uncle.
I can't. Look at what they've done to me.
-I can't bear to look at myself in the mirror.
-Hey.
Stop talking as if you were the only one
who got beaten up.
I'm frustrated too.
He believes they'll offer him a post
if this meeting goes well.
Things will get risky if we try something
and it doesn't work out.
Be patient.
I can't wait for the meeting to end.
See what I do to them the very next day.
Hey, Selva.
Why did you have to talk to him like that?
-What did I do?
-Why are you two fighting now?
He'll do everything and try to compromise.
Why should we stay silent?
Two random guys tore the poster.
Why hold him responsible? Wait, you guys.
This has nothing to do with the poster.
I'm talking about Benji.
-How many times should we knock?
-Why are you bringing up the past?
Hey, Jamaal.
Take the booze and leave.
I said go. Leave him alone.
Come on, boys.
Let's go.
Here, smoke this.
Why are you shouting at the boys?
After learning he killed Benji,
I get so worked up when I see him.
Had he been alive today,
he would have changed the lives
of at least a few boys in this neighborhood.
And that includes my life.
Today, he sells marijuana through Karthi.
Boys of Arul's age are smoking up.
We do too.
And I know it's wrong.
But Benji wouldn't have let this happen.
He killed a good man,
and now he's the councilor.
I can't bear to see all this.
You are right.
He ruined both our lives in a day
and now he's leading a happy life.
But we can't do anything about it.
He's a big shot now.
Oh, really?
One stab and he'll be dead.
You're talking as if you'd kill him.
If I get a chance, no one can stop me.
He'd be gone forever.
Kanniyappa.
They really irritated me this week.
I couldn't sell anything past them.
Here.
Sounder has the rest.
Why is Shanmugam's poster all over the place?
Is he coming here?
Yes. They have a meeting on Vinayaka Chaturthi.
I think he's coming for that.
How do you know about it?
Don't you know?
I painted the walls for that meeting.
I overheard them talking.
-Do you know who's making the arrangements?
-Who is it?
Kiruba.
He's planning to get a post.
Hope it works out.
-See you, then.
-Okay.
~ No point chasing us out
We'd use ladders to climb back ~
~ Our fates won't change
Come and fight me if you dare ~
~ You and I have nothing to talk about,
Your mother doesn't wear a watch ~
~ Oh, don't touch me!
Don't lie in the high court! ~
~ Will you shine if you lie?
Polish it up! ~
~ Ten idlis with lentils sambar
Eight idlis with a spicy side dish! ~
~ Disgusting! You dumb head! ~

Your mother doesn't wear a watch ~
~ Oh, don't touch me!
Don't lie in the high court! ~
~ Will you shine if you lie?
Polish it up! ~
~ Hey, give it to us!
And let us go! ~
~ Hey, give it to us!
And let us go! ~
Hey, you moron!
That's it!
Appu, sing one about Selva beating up Jeeva.
Why are you dragging me into this now?
~ Is this a brass cupboard?
Is Jeeva a hero in Tollywood? ~
[in Telugu] Jeeva, sir is here.
-What is it? Where are you going?
-Enough. Stop it.
Why are you asking him to stop?
You go on, bro.
You continue, bro.
Why is he frustrated?
He was given a red card at the match today.
That's the reason.
What's the big deal with that?
Have two pegs and night, and it'll all be okay.
Hey, Jeeva.
Aren't you celebrating Vinayaka Chaturthi this year?
-No, brother.
-Why?
Do you remember the problem Appu created
three years back after getting drunk?
The police stopped giving permission after that.
I'll get the permission if that's the only problem.
Get us the permission and see how we celebrate!
You start the collection,
and I'll take care of the permission.
Jeeva, let's start work tomorrow.
We'll go to Kunti Press.
He'll get the work done in an hour.
What happened?
I told the boys to go ahead.
Are you out of your mind, Kiruba?
This is a crucial meeting.
What if something goes wrong?
I know what I'm doing, Senthil.
You don't worry.
Let's go.
Has he lost it, Karthi?
Hit it!
We heartily welcome the pioneer
of our party
and the current secretary, brother Antony.
by adorning him with this shawl.
Our leader who has graced the occasion,
Mr. Shanmugham,
-Hey, bro!
He just started talking.
We might not have the time to start.
-This isn't going to work out.
-At this rate, the crowd will be long gone.
Hey, Jeeva. Call Joseph.
He said he was going to the hospital
with his wife.
We'll have to wait a bit.
I'm sure they'll try to start a fight
to get us into trouble.
Jagan, I'll smash your mouth in!
Those guys are nothing.
How often do I tell you not to fight them
and give them publicity!
Your uncle wants you to stay clear of any fights.
What's wrong with that?
Listen to your uncle
and settle down with a posting.
You need to move up the ladder so I can climb up.
These two are up next after me.
You keep forgetting this.
Your uncle would be looking for me.
I'll see you later.
If this constituency needs anything,
Kirubakar is always around.
I'm always around,
and most importantly our leader is here.
What more could you ask for?
There is a bright future ahead of us.
We need to work towards that.
[phone rings]
I say this for the sake of our development.
-I say this for our people.
-Tell me, Jeeva.
I told you I'm at the hospital with my wife.
So?
We've got the permission.
You get started. I'll join you in a while.
Hey, Joseph told us to get started.
Bro, switch on the set.
Why are you inviting trouble now?
-Oh, shut up.
-We can start after the meeting.
Wow! The Prophet himself has spoken.
He's the most useless guy on our team!
You're good for nothing!
The organizers of this event,
the gentlemen football club
are proud to host this grand concert!
We welcome everyone on behalf of the organizers
and on behalf of Michael rhythm's.
Is everyone ready?
Please give us a round of applause!
Thank you! Thank you!
Nobody can stop us, nor can hide it.
Use your power to show the opposition
that we will not stand for exploitation
by voting us into power in the upcoming elections.
For our people to come up
mere promises aren't enough.
We need to put the effort and have confidence.
Without your help,
this wouldn't be possible.
[sings popular Tamil song]
Hey!
Are you trying to start a fight?
Kill the audio.
Switch it off.
Hey, Jagan.
What's the problem here?
Hey.
What the hell is your problem?
We told you to start only after the meeting ended.
We can't wait for your permission
all the time. Get lost!
Keep talking like this,
and I'll break your jaw someday!
-Go on, Give it a try!
-Hey Karthi! Why are you making a scene here?
-You know nothing. Keep walking!
-Hey, Viji!
We're making a scene?
The meeting is supposed to end in ten minutes.
They're trying to play songs
and disrupt our meeting,
and you expect us to shut the hell up?
Why are you doing this?
You'll take your own sweet time to finish.
We can't keep waiting.
What can you do about it?
Get lost!
Hey, stop! Hey, Karthi!
Jeeva! Jeeva, stop it!
Hey, Reuben!
Let go! Let go!
Let go!
Stop! Let me go!
Hey, Selva! Don't do this!
Listen to me.
Run, Jagan. Run.
-Get up and run!
-Hey, Selvam.
Hey, Karthi! Listen to me.
Hey!
If your uncle found out, you'd be in trouble.
Selva!
Hey!
During times of calamities like floods or storms,
arrangements will be made to distribute
relief aid to the afflicted!
Hey!
Hey!
What the hell are you doing?
Hey! Hey, Karthi!
Hey!
Bring Karthi here!
Hey, Karthi!
Hey, Karthi!
Hey, Jeeva!
Hey, Jeeva!
Jeeva, listen to me.
Jeeva, stop!
Hey, Jeeva!
Let go!
Get him! Hey!
Let me go!
Jeeva, let go of him!
Hey!
Hit him. Hit him.
Come on!
Listen to me.
Hey, Guna. Don't do it.
-Hey, Karthi. Stop.
-Out of my way!
Hey!
[phone rings]
Hello?
Viji is unconscious!
He isn't moving, bro!
Where are you?
Come soon!
I'm really scared.
Hello, brother.
What happened?
Jagan is fine. He's in the general ward.
And that guy?
Viji is in the ICU.
Since Razak was around, I didn't go in.
You said you could manage this.
They screwed up your plan!
That's why I insisted
on not letting them conduct their program!
This is my problem, Senthil.
Don't poke your nose in this.
I know how to deal with this.
This isn't your personal problem.
We worked hard day and night to organize the meeting.
Everything's ruined, thanks to what you did!
-It's not as if all is lost.
-How could you be so casual?
Take him aside, brother.
-Do you think your idea would've worked?
-Take him aside.
[phone rings]
Tell me.
I'm on my way.
Hey, Udaya. Forget about him.
Come here.
-Brother.
-Where are Karthi and Guna?
-They're with Jagan.
-Ask them to stay there.
Okay.
Why did you do that?
-Mother's name?
-Palaniamma.
Your dad's phone number?
984-990
Tell me your name.
Reuben.
-Father's name?
-Johnson.
-Mother's name?
-Aarayi.
Tell me your father's phone number.
7-4-0
1-0
4-0-1-7-4
Is anyone from your house coming?
You want to strike up a compromise now?
Those guys broke up the meeting.
How could we let them go
-Both sides are to blame.
-They're coming, sir.
Hey!
-What's the problem?
-I'm giving him the details, sir.
Are you done? Get out of here.
Get out!
Yasin, get me some water.
Hey, Ruba.
I make a living by working as a house help.
How do you have the heart to do this?
What do I tell your dad?
What have you done?
-You're in trouble with the police at this age already!
-Oh, stop it, sister.
-What did they say?
-They took down my details.
Hey, why are you getting into trouble?
You were fine all these years.
Why are you getting involved in all this?
Do you want to get into drunken brawls?
Where did they learn this behavior?
-All because of this damn liquor!
-Where would they learn it from?
They have someone new to teach them.
They must have picked it up from him.
-Okay, ma'am.
-If you get the footage, call the station.
Okay, ma'am.
They started the fight by playing songs.
How could we compromise with them?
Those boys are the root of this problem.
Don't act like an idiot, Kiruba!
Everyone's saying that our meeting
was the cause of all the problems.
If something happens to that guy,
our heads will roll!
Wrap this up today.
Besides, your brother-in-law is involved.
Be careful.
[phone rings]
Hello? I'm here, sir.
I'm on my way.
What is it?
Karthi and Guna are here.
Why are they here?
Don't they understand the gravity of this?
Didn't I tell them?
Morons!
Oh, quiet. Stop crying.
Jeeva, can't you think for yourself
even if he's drunk?
-Why did you join him?
-Who asked you two to come here?
Won't you listen to me?
-I'm so mad. I'll kill you two right way!
-Selva!
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Let go of him!
Hey, pull them apart.
Karthi, let go of him!
Let me go!
Wait!
Stop!
Hey, can't you keep your hands to yourself?
You've already sent one guy to the hospital.
Why are you fighting again?
What did they say upstairs?
What did they say?
You think they'd let him off on a petty case?
Attempt to murder.
I begged them not to do that
and that we would talk it out.
They've agreed to a compromise
just because they are students.
I think that would be the right thing to do.
They agreed because they had nothing to lose.
-He's fine.
-So?
Would Kiruba ease up
if we filed a case against his brother-in-law?
What do you expect?
You want us to compromise out of fear for him?
Watch what you say.
If you want to file a case, go ahead.
Didn't I tell you to start
only after the meeting?
-Why'd you start by then?
-So? You'll beat us up?
-Keep quiet.
-They didn't come to hit you.
They came there to tell you to switch off the speakers.
You were the ones who insulted them.
If we insulted them, they should've fought us.
-Why'd he hit my brother?
-You kept hiding behind your brother!
Hiding behind him?
Who the hell hid from you?
-Why don't you fight me then?
-Karthi!
You want to fight? Come on!
Don't act tough just because your uncle is here.
Who's acting tough?
-Come on, let's fight it out!
-Come on!
-Drop it, Guna.
-Let's see who wins!
Hey, Karthi! Listen to me. Go back!
-Go back! Won't you listen to me?
-What are we to do?
-He's being too arrogant!
-I said shut up!
Hey, kid!
Razak, you better warn him.
You're just adding fuel to the fire
by arguing with us.
I know what to do to the guy you beat up.
-I'll pay your brother's hospital bills.
-You'll pay what now?!
I'll break his arm and pay the hospital expenses.
Is that fine?
-Hey, kid!
-Razak, he's crossing the limit. You better warn him.
-We should've whacked him back then! You didn't listen.
-Shut the hell up!
-Hey, Karthi!
-Udaya, take them away from here.
-What the hell does he think?
-How dare you argue with him like a kid?
-We'll get you someday!
-Won't you ever listen?
-Karthi! You'll get it back!
-Get the hell out of here!
Can't you shut the hell up?
He says he'll beat him up and pay.
You want me to walk away?
-You want to go to jail in this case?
-I will!
I can't walk away from a problem like you!
Razak!
Forget it, Selva.
Listen to him. Come on.
Hey, Selva!
You're still a kid.
Don't you have any brains?
Is this the place to talk about killing him?
Had I not left town that day,
my family would be on the streets now.
I went to the hospital and had a look at Viji.
Don't worry about anything.
We'll take care of him.
Razak told me about the problem.
I had never once told Benjamin
to do something in his life.
Benjamin believed you were just like him.
You're the victim.
Decide what you want to do
based on what's best for your family.
Okay?
These guys won't interfere in your life again.
The same applies to you.
Understood?
I'll make sure of that.
You shouldn't have accepted the compromise.
You think we accepted it wholeheartedly?
What else could we do
when Razak is speaking?
So, we kept quiet and accepted.
Yeah, why wouldn't he?
He's a coward who fled after Benji's death, after all.
He isn't the one who's grieving!
His brother is hospitalized.
Let it go, brother.
Like he'd escape from us.
We'll finish him off when we nab him!
What are you going to do now
after losing your only chance?
You knew to ring up when you had less money for booze.
Why couldn't you do the same
at the station before signing?
You all really proved that you're kids.
Kids? We'll continue to remain kids, then.
Leave us alone.
Forget what I said in anger and drink.
No, I don't want it.
What's with this new habit of yours?
It isn't new.
But it's been happening consistently since you arrived.
And that has led us to this issue.
Are you saying that I'm the reason?
Let it go!
We are a reason too!
That's why I say let's leave it.
I know how this would end otherwise.
The day I abandoned my game and pursued that,
I've been fueled with rage since.
Selva, be serious a--
This is my problem. I'll deal with it.
Leave me alone.
I told you I spoke out of anger.
Here.
Drink this.
Murthy?
Can you get me a job?
Why?
My dad doesn't work.
And my sister-in-law will have a baby soon
and no one else is employed.
That's why.
Listen, you're welcome to smoke
all the weed you want.
Why do you want to risk yourself?
Speaks as if he's unaware of the risks involved.
I'll let you know.
Don't.
My hand!
Ow, my hand!
Bro, bro!
I won't do it again, spare me!
Please, it hurts!
Please don't, bro!
Spare us please, bro!
What are you looking at?
What are you staring at?
If I catch you all peddling drugs again,
-I'll kill you!
-Don't!
Didn't I tell you we'd get caught in their area?
So? Does that mean they'd thrash us?
Why do they have to engage in drug peddling alone?
I swear we must do something to them!
Why do you over think a trivial matter?
Why do you care?
You ran away leaving us behind!
Only we know how it felt to be beat up!
Shut it if you aren't interested.
Robert?
What do you say?
What are you thinking about?
Forget us.
What did your brother do to them?
Don't forget about that.
Hello, Kiruba brother.
Put in a word regarding Karthi's post too.
Do you expect me to get him a post
and remain answerable to everyone?
I told him so for his diligence.
-Learn to put people in their place.
-Brother.
Stay here. I'll be back.
-Hello, brother.
-Hello.
Yes, tell me.
Nothing much, Kiruba.
The leader chose Senthil over you
for the post, based on seniority.
He's worked for the party for ten years.
Not only that, he's also upset
that the meeting went awry.
And Senthil used that to his advantage!
I have also been at the party for ten years.
Who else do I work for besides the party and you?
I even resolved the case
just because he said so.
But now?
Did you all forget my years of work
just because of one small mishap?
A small mishap?
We asked you to conduct it
to grab the people's attention.
We assigned you a task because
of your dedication to this party.
But you ruined it.
I miscalculated that you would be Nagaraj's successor.
Forget about the post
and start working on the elections.
Didn't you boast about easy access
once your uncle got you the post?
That's why I kept quiet about Jagan's problem all along!
Karthi.
Time for you to decide what we do about this.
Come on, come on!
Hurry!
Catch him!
Udaya, check what's wrong.
-Hey, boy!
-Move out of the way!
You promised they wouldn't interfere.
Well, to hell with your promise!
-They fought us at college!
-How dare you speak that way!
-Get out of here!
-How dare you hit him!
Udaya, don't!
I said let go!
Stop fighting with each other!
Keep quiet, I said!
What the hell is your problem now?
Your brother-in-law brought weapons
to college to kill us!
And because of him,
we're going to be dismissed!
-What's your deal now?
-Enough, Udaya!
I told you that I'd withdraw the complaint
and we'd resolve this smoothly, right?
Why do you keep causing trouble for us?
Listen, boy. If I wanted to cause trouble,
you wouldn't be alive now.
I still have no clue
what the issue is with you two.
That is between you two.
Don't drag me into your mess.
I'm already riled up over here.
You better leave.
I'm only quiet because of the recent loss on your side.
-Be careful.
-What? A recent loss?
What about Benji?
We know that you killed Benji
and blamed Joseph for it.
Don't pretend to know what happened!
All of you were mere kids, then.
Yes, we were mere kids.
That's why you're still alive.
You better warn him.
If he continues to do this,
it won't hesitate to pick up a knife.
Shall we go someplace and lay low?
Did we jump the gun to lay low?
It's safe if we stay here.
Now that your father spotted you,
it's best if you surrender yourself.
Alone?
Yeah.
Someone must stay outside
to take you out on bail, right?
I'll talk to Nagaraj.
He'd know someone.
Will he do that for me?
He will do it for me.
And he would benefit the most
out of this, than me.
Don't think twice, Joseph.
I won't let things go wrong.
I'll talk to him
and get you out in a week.
If that man is in trouble,
we should help him.
But we have to keep quiet when we are in trouble.
This is how he'll treat us
if you go submissive with him.
I'm not for it.
I'll take care of him then.
Listen. We can't trust him.
Let's sort this out now.
The number you're trying to call
is currently not reachable.
The number you're trying to call
is currently not reachable.
Try again later.
Shall we go?
Mani isn't answering my calls.
Let's wait for two minutes.
Do you think I'll recommend you for the post
after what you did?
This is precisely why I asked you to keep it low.
But you didn't listen.
Don't you dare talk to me about the posting again.
I'll kill you all!
The number you're trying to call
is currently not reachable. Please try again later.
Murthy.
He's alone now.
This is our chance. Let's go!
Mani would be waiting outside with a vehicle.
What if he isn't there?
The movie will end soon and everyone will leave.
This is our only chance.
If we miss this
we won't get another one.
Damn, why is he there?
You idiot. You were the one who said he was alone.
He was alone when I saw him.
We should have gone right then.
He would be dead by now.
It's all because of you.
-Come, we'll go.
-What? Why?
Let's not do this, Robert.
Come on, let's go.
Don't act like an idiot, Robert.
Hey! He'd kill us if he knew we were here.
We have a knife with us.
Please, understand.
Hey, it's okay if you don't want to come.
I'm going.
-Why don't you just listen?
-Let me go.
Leave me.
Robert, listen to me.
Let me go.
Hey, let me go.
What the hell do you think you are doing?
He's the reason my brother is on his deathbed.
The two people responsible for it are down there.
Let's finish them.
If you're not coming, I'll go.
Get him!
Brother!
Get him!
Get the knife.
-Hey!
-Go.
-Hey!
-Let's go! Let's go!
Get them!
We need to find those boys first.
They've been supplying marijuana
in this neighborhood for a few months.
I'm not sure if they fought over a girl or money.
They killed your son in that process and escaped.
We'll know why they killed your son
only when we enquire them.
This is exactly why I said not to mess with them.
I was against this as well.
But he never listened to me.
The police are looking for me
because of what you did.
Oh Lord, who rests upon the cross!
The Lord who shed blood for us!
The eternal God of this world!
We all pray to you and only you.
We pray to you with all our gratitude.
We shall pray day and night.
Please take care of us, Oh Lord!
Our prayers all day and night
are our offering to you, oh Lord Jesus!
My peace be upon those who pray to you.
Glory be to you. The praise is all yours!
In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Amen!
Mani and Murthy are here.
Robert said he wanted to help his family
and asked me to help him find a job.
-Does he know you're working for me?
-No, brother.
-Ask him to come.
-Okay.
I think this is unnecessary.
Hey, I know what I'm doing.
You get lost.
Do as you wish.
I told Selva that talking about compromise won't work.
But he
got drunk and told me he knew what he was doing.
He doesn't care about Viji as much as we do.
He didn't think about his family for a second.
I can't stand to see you cry.
Alright, let it go.
This place belongs to Kanniyappan.
I'll make sure Selva doesn't get to know.
-Brother?
-Take him home.
-Okay.
Come, let's go.
We used to bunk school
and sell drugs for the money he paid us.
One day, Joseph called us
saying we've got an opportunity to grow up in life.
He gave us a packet of marijuana
and asked us to sell it in Karthi's neighborhood.
It is risky, Joseph.
Hey! People come up in life only by taking risks.
-You better get back to school.
-Alright, brother. See you!
[Murthy] Please, brother.
I won't do it again. Leave me.
Let me go, brother. Please!
I'll kill you!
You shouldn't have done this, Joseph.
Karthi thrashed those kids.
I convinced him,
saying the boys didn't know they were on his turf.
[Murthy]You ran away leaving us behind!
Only we know how it felt to be beat up!
Shut it if you aren't interested.
Robert?
What do you say?
What are you thinking about?
Forget us.
What did your brother do to them?
Don't forget about that.
He's doing all this because he has Kiruba's support.
He's the reason for my brother's death
and your brother being bedridden.
You can't earn enough to support your family
while he's around, Robert.
Keep this in mind.
I'll tell you what to do and when.
Take Murthy along.
You take the lead.
Got it?
I've got your back.
Remember that too.
Be bold and do it.
Every time we went to see him,
he'd give us money
and dope to smoke.
This was a routine.
But last week,
Joseph suddenly called us saying it was urgent.
Robert and I went to meet him.
Oh Lord Almighty!
Let this world be purified
and your will reach the ends of this earth.
Lord, may you grant eternal rest upon Robert's soul.
May you bless his family, relatives
and friends, with the strength to endure this loss.
In the name of the Holy Spirit,
we pray, Amen! Amen! Amen!
[in unison] Amen!
