Maareesan (2025) Movie Script

Dinesh! Sir wants to see you.
Coming, sir!
What's that noise?
Don't make noise.
What's up, Dhaya?
You look so happy.
-No, sir.
-No?
I didn't mean that.
Any plans to come back here?
No, sir. I've changed, right?
Who are you trying to bluff?
I swear on your father's life.
You bloody idiot!
Why drag my father into this?
Are you crazy?
-Dhayalan?
-Sir.
Here.
Check it before you leave.
CENTRAL JAIL - PALAYAMKOTTAI
Brother, what are you thinking about?
Set your bag on the porch
and take a bath.
Nobody's going to steal anything.
You dwell in my heart
While I live on
Keeping faith in you
Oh, mighty Velayya
No one has enough time in this world
Those who have enough time
They have no one to care for
-It's available in several colors.
-How much?
The base model costs 9.3 lakhs, sir.
The top model is for 14.5 lakhs.
What about this one?
For what?
To buy or just to look at it?
I want to buy it.
I want to look at it
before I buy it, okay?
No one has enough time in this world
Those who have enough time
They have no one to care for
No one pays heed
To any tunes anymore
But upon listening, it doesn't
Make any sense for sure
A map could never guide me anywhere
Neither have I lost my way
Even with a blindfold on
No job, no loans
No woman to love
Still, here I am
The master of my destiny
Hello!
Welcome.
Thank you.
If you try to reach up high
Will you be able to touch the sky?
Try it anyway
If you do, that's your dumb luck!
-Can you pretend to be happy?
-I want to get down here!
Could you prove
That rules are only for fools?
Everything okay?
It's not even over yet.
Mom called. She's not well.
-Is that so? Ride safe, okay?
-Okay.
Some houses,
I feel like they're inviting me.
Those are the ones I break into.
I've always wondered
how could the fish living deep underwater
become the food for the cranes
that roam the sky?
There's a connection.
I feel drawn to this house.
That's exactly how I feel.
Kumar, are you home?
Why don't you come home
as soon as your shift ends?
Why the delay?
Hey
Is he not Kumar?
Please don't harm me.
Don't you dare utter a word!
I'll slice you up.
Just breathe. Do nothing else.
Goodness!
I asked you to breathe, not pee!
I suffer from a memory condition.
Alzheimer's.
My son locked me in
so that I wouldn't run away.
He said he'd be back soon,
but he's still not here.
Please unchain me.
Sorry.
I'm not in the mood
to do good deeds today.
Could you please get me out of here?
Please.
I'll pay you.
Don't bother. I'll take it myself.
There's nothing in there.
It's all in the bank.
I swear, I'll pay you.
Please trust me and unchain me.
How much?
Ten thousand?
You've got to be kidding me!
Ten, my foot!
Twenty thousand?
Twenty-five thousand?
What's this? An auction?
That's the maximum I can withdraw
from an ATM in a day.
Don't you have Google Pay?
What's that?
You have a memory issue, right?
Do you remember your PIN?
I'll remember it once I see an ATM.
Please trust me.
Don't even think about
trying to outsmart me.
You can sit still without wobbling, right?
If I wobble, won't I fall off?
As long as you
remember that, we're good!
Brother.
Could you give me a cigarette?
Twenty-five lakh rupees!
Brother.
Twenty-five thousand as promised.
Okay?
Count it.
Where do you want to go, sir?
My daughter is in Palakkad.
So you're going to Palakkad?
No.
My son will come looking
for me there first.
No.
Could you drop me off
at Vadassery Bus Station?
Where do you really want to go, sir?
Just a moment.
Let me hold it.
You want to take a leak?
Go ahead.
-I have a friend in Tiruvannamalai.
-Oh.
I'll go there.
You really want to go to Tiruvannamalai?
Why? What happened?
Well, I'm also headed there.
Then drop me at Vadassery Bus Station.
That'll do.
Oh.
Where are you off to at this odd hour?
Sir, there was a ceremony nearby.
-A ceremony?
-Yes, sir.
My son works for the police.
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
I thought you'd be scared
and not help me.
Does your son annoy you a lot?
No, nothing like that.
I've left home like this a
couple of times before.
He has struggled a lot to find me.
That's why he locked me up.
MUNICIPAL CORPORATION
CHRISTOPHER BUS STAND
Brother.
Don't get me wrong.
Could you give me 100 rupees?
If I give you 100 rupees,
how will you reach Tiruvannamalai?
Thank you.
KUMARAN
One pack of cigarettes, please.
Here.
Sir. Sir.
You want to have some tea?
No thanks.
Come on, just have it!
-Two cups of tea.
-Not really.
No tea for me as well.
You need to pee quite often, right?
Only at night.
Then bus travel will be
difficult for you.
Let's go on my bike, sir.
Come on, it'll be a fun ride.
Aren't we supposed to be
happy in life or not?
Yes or no?
-Well
-Superb! Come on, sir!
Why trouble yourself like this?
It won't be for free, sir.
Pay me eight rupees per kilometer.
I'll drop you off at your destination.
You got money in your account, right?
-Not really, man.
-No?
I mean, I do have money in my account.
But I don't know if this will work out
I understand.
How can you travel
with a fraudster?
-You're right.
-No, no.
I didn't think about it that way.
Alright. But don't ride too fast.
Fast? I'll drive as if I'm fasting!
Just come, sir. Follow me.
Sir, note down the kilometer reading.
You note it down yourself, man.
Okay, alright!
Where's your native place?
Erode.
Aren't you from Madurai?
You figured it out from my accent, right?
Please get down, sir.
What happened?
-I want to take a leak.
-Oh. Okay.
Kumar?
Hey, Kumar!
What?
How long have you been doing this?
Look at you!
Smoking right in front of your dad!
Dad?
Your mom kept warning me
not to smoke when you were around.
I didn't listen to her. My mistake.
So, where are we going now?
To Krishnaveni's house, right?
And where is that?
Palakkad.
Why?
Okay.
We need to refuel and book a room.
You have cash, right?
Cash?
Let's withdraw from an ATM.
Okay, that works.
There is an ATM.
Let's grab cash and go.
Kumar, will 3000 be enough?
Here's the card.
Withdraw the money.
Dad.
What happened?
I forgot the PIN.
What are you talking about?
You use it all the time!
You're right
But just help me remember it, will you?
Oh, come on!
I think it's 1221.
-One two two one?
-Two one?
One two two one.
One two two one.
One two two one, one two one.
One two
One two
Damn it!
Sir.
Dad. Please come.
One.
Two.
Two.
No! It's not one!
It's some other number.
Other number?
One two two two.
What the
What's going on?
How do we get the money now?
You look exhausted.
I'll manage.
Damn it!
How will you manage?
I've got some cash.
We'll make do with that.
How come you have money?
I just do.
Tell me.
I didn't steal it, okay?
Your sister Krishnaveni
must have given it to you.
Who else would give you money?
Kumar.
I'm tired.
Let me rest for ten minutes.
While rushing to the movie,
I completely forgot the bike key.
I informed
the patrolling cops last night, sir.
I think it was the SI, sir.
He asked me to submit the bike's photo
and the documents at the station.
-This one?
-Yes.
Okay, give me your phone number.
I'll look into it.
Sir, his father is
Minister Ponnambalam's PA.
Hey, quiet.
-Please help, sir.
-Okay, I will. Don't worry.
-What's the case about?
-His father is Minister Ponnambalam's PA.
Someone stole his bike.
We'll find it.
Your name?
Velayudham Pillai.
How often does this
memory problem crop up?
When I try too hard to remember
or when I get really stressed out.
Alright, I'm writing down
my name and number here.
You should jot down anything
you don't want to forget.
Like your daughter's number, address,
your son's number, ATM card PIN,
Your Tiruvannamalai
friend's name. Everything.
Okay?
Dhaya.
Dhayalan.
Dhaya. Dhaya.
I have a diary like that at home.
I was in a hurry and forgot to bring it.
No worries. Keep this one too.
It's on me.
Could I have my phone back?
It's charged now, isn't it?
Yes.
Brother.
Could you please lend me
a thousand rupees?
I need to buy some medicines
for my memory problem and blood pressure.
It goes without saying, sir.
Do you remember the medicine name?
I'll withdraw from my account
and return it.
Yeah, it's on the prescription.
The pharmacist should know.
In that case, I'll make a call,
smoke a cigarette, and wait for you.
Get the medicine from that shop.
I'll join you.
People call you Network Ganesh,
but you are always out of network!
I have to sell an RX 100 bike.
Check with your network and let me know.
You never take a break, do you?
Alright, where are you now?
Madurai.
How long will you
pull off these small jobs?
Plan something huge, man!
Exactly. That's why
I called you yesterday.
Something has come up.
What is it?
Hello?
Hello?
Dhaya?
Hey!
Hey!
Stop!
Where are you going?
Palakkad.
I'm also going to Palakkad. Let's go.
Hey! Stop the bus!
We have to get down.
-Why? What happened?
-Just stop the bus.
Come on. Let's go.
Who are you?
Why should I come with you?
I am the one who picked you up
from Nagercoil on my bike.
-On a bike?
-No! On a ship!
What happened?
What's the matter?
What's the matter?
He's been pulling his hand away
for quite some time now.
It's me, Dhaya. Let's go.
Dhaya? Who?
Hey! He said he doesn't know you.
Let go of his hand.
He was with me.
We were on our way
to Tiruvannamalai on my bike.
Why would I go to Tiruvannamalai?
This doesn't seem right.
Let's go to the police station.
That's right.
Driver, let's go to the police station.
Hey! He's got memory problems.
He came here with me.
You don't trust me?
My name and number are
there in his diary.
-Check it.
-Really? Show it to us.
Give it to me. Give!
Please check.
Is Dhaya your son's name?
It's Kumar.
-Kumar?
-Dial the number first.
He fondly calls me Kumar.
Yes. See this?
I was talking on the phone.
And then he went missing.
I was so shocked.
-Come, let's go.
-Okay.
Give me the diary.
Here. Keep it.
Come. Careful.
In the movie Ghajini,
Suriya had this condition, right?
That's short-term memory loss.
So what's this?
Sridevi's condition from Moondram Pirai.
Let's go
Oh, shape-shifter
Nothing comes without a fight
Lady Luck won't stroll in overnight
Once the face paint is on
Get used to nodding along
On your shoulder dances a zombie
Grin and bear as you go
Hey.
Do you believe in God?
Why? You don't?
No.
-No?
-No!
You be like a rain cloud
-You accept cards, right?
-Yes.
Hide your rage, just grin and bear it
Flow like the lines in a colorful design
Meander your way amid the chaos
Oh, shape-shifter
The PIN is incorrect.
Sir, the PIN is incorrect!
Lady Luck won't stroll in overnight
Once the face paint is on
Get used to nodding along
Oh, no! I forgot to collect the change
from that pharmacy.
Should we go back and get it?
Just come, sir.
Just come. I'll pay you that amount.
Dhaya.
It's too sunny.
Can we take the village road?
It'll be a soothing ride.
Okay.
If you only chase what they want to show
A strike from nowhere will blow you away
If you laugh along and play along
A wad of cash might fall into your hands
Take the blows, let silence mend
Wait it out, don't break or bend
Hey! Careful!
Hey! My goats! Watch out!
There are so many goats on the road!
-Can't you see them?
-Are you okay?
I am okay.
What happened?
Are you okay? No injuries?
Hey! Can't you drive carefully?
I was being careful.
Are you herding the goats on the road?
-Hey, mind your words.
-Mind your words?
Hey, wait a minute.
Why don't you say sorry
so that we can leave?
What? Sorry?
They're trying to get away
by saying sorry!
-Do you know how much it costs?
-How much?
Listen, man.
We were riding carefully.
The goat crossed our path.
Honking wouldn't have helped it.
-He didn't honk, it seems!
-You didn't honk?
That's what I was telling you.
He didn't honk.
What's the use of honking?
Wait. Let me talk to them.
Brother, can we settle this
for 3000 rupees?
Just 3000?
-Okay, pay him and leave.
-Wait.
Why so adamant?
Let's pay up and leave.
-Sure, why not?
-Yes.
But I don't have any
Whatever money I had,
I gave it all to Mom.
Didn't you see?
When?
Remember, we had
breakfast in the morning?
Yes.
Remember going to the pharmacy after that?
Yes.
Remember standing in
front of an ATM after that?
Near the auto-rickshaw stand.
-Yeah. A bit.
-That's it!
Hey!
Call Chidambaram!
Who is Chidambaram?
Police.
Alright, do you have money or not?
I don't have any.
-But he has an ATM card.
-Then get some cash.
Let's go to the ATM.
Wait, wait.
Let him stay here.
You go and get the cash.
Hey, one of us should go with him.
I'll go, brother.
Please give me the ATM card.
What's taking so long?
Hold on a second.
Come.
Sir, I promise I'll pay you back.
Just give it to me, sir.
Okay.
PIN?
You entered it correctly even last night.
What the hell!
This isn't going to work.
Call Chidambaram!
Please let us talk in peace
if you want your money.
Sir, think hard and tell me.
Will you be able to recall it
if you see an ATM?
Yeah.
Murugesan, just look at him!
We're waiting for our money,
and he's playing with his damn phone!
One two three four.
Hey, Dhaya!
Come here.
I think it is four three two one.
-Four three two one?
-Yes.
Murugesan.
There he is.
Please come.
He told us everything about you.
You're a policeman, aren't you?
Why are you not in uniform?
I'm on leave currently, that's why.
What are you doing, sir?
Money?
Is money everything in this world?
To quote this gentleman,
"A dash of herbal medicine,
and the goat will be back
on its feet in no time!"
Murugesan, is that fine with you?
You've made the call anyway!
Sir, where are you currently posted?
Palayamkottai.
I see.
-See you then.
-See you.
Alright.
Yes! See you.
Have a safe journey.
Can you stop the bike?
Why?
I'm feeling a bit dizzy.
I'll be okay if I just rest for a bit.
Well, what place is this?
Echampatti.
If we go ten to fifteen kilometers
from here, we'll reach a junction.
We can book a room there.
What name did you just say?
Echampatti. Why?
I think this is the place.
My old friend's house is here.
I don't remember it clearly.
It's been several years, you know.
Could you ask someone in that shop
where Subramaniam lives?
He works at the EB.
He has three daughters who are in college.
People here must know him.
If we find him, we can stay
at his place for the night
and leave in the morning.
Fine. Let me ask around.
Mister.
Mister.
-One sugar candy.
-Okay.
-Actually, two.
-Okay.
A pack of cigarettes.
-A bottle of water, one soda.
-Okay.
And bananas.
Do you know a Subramaniam here?
There are a few by that name here.
Which one are you asking about?
The one who works at the EB.
Has three daughters.
Three daughters?
Who's that, sir?
I don't know
Let it be. Forget it.
-Hey!
-Yes?
-Do you know a Subramaniam here?
-Subramaniam?
He has three daughters.
No. Only Mr. Srinivasan has
three daughters in this area.
-Your total is 300 rupees.
-That's why I said forget it.
-Do you want anything else?
-No.
What's his name again?
Subramaniam or Srinivasan?
I am coming there. Don't shout!
How is it now?
Had we gone a little further,
we could've found better rooms.
This is more than enough
to sleep for just 4-5 hours.
Tell me.
You asked me to sell the bike,
and then you said something.
What was it?
Go freshen up.
I'll finish this call and return.
I've got my hands on something big!
Thought so!
Ripe or unripe?
Crap!
It's not that, man!
So, what's your plan?
The oldie is going to stay at an ashram
in Tiruvannamalai for a month.
I've got to figure out
his ATM PIN before he goes there.
Where are you right now?
Near Viraganur.
Two hours away from Tiruvannamalai.
I don't know what to do!
I'll send you the pictures
of two ATM cards.
Before I reach Tiruvannamalai,
use your contacts
and duplicate them
and make sure they reach me.
Okay, send it.
Things are peaceful at the moment.
But I don't know
when I'll lose control.
Hey, getting the card numbers won't help.
The cards must not get blocked
for at least a month.
So, take it slow.
Just put on a good act
so that he trusts you.
Got it?
-When I was in the tenth grade--
-One minute.
Cheers.
Start the music!
No, never mind.
You've got enough side dishes here!
I was kidding!
Just tell me, sir.
When I was in the tenth grade,
they were playing this
at the Sinthamani Theater in my hometown.
My dad knew when
the evening show ended.
So, I watched the movie until
the intermission and came back.
My dad assumed that
I had come back home after playing.
Back then, we'd sleep outside.
The night show would start by
that time at the theater.
I pretended to be asleep.
Dad thought that I was asleep,
and so he went to sleep.
Then?
You know what I did?
I watched the second half
of the movie at the night show.
I had an arrangement with the usher.
You're quite smart, sir!
Let it be.
My dad was very strict.
Once he'd get angry,
he would beat me with a thick rope.
It was only out of fear of his beatings
that I agreed to go with my uncle when
he asked me to join EB to hoist the posts.
I didn't even think a bit.
I fled from my home!
Is that where Subramaniam
and you became friends?
Which Subramaniam?
The one I inquired about
while on our way here.
Subramaniam. He works in the EB.
It's actually Srinivasan
who has three daughters,
-not him.
-Yeah, right.
Since when did you
start having memory problems?
It started recently.
You're lucky.
Some go through a lot
to forget certain memories
while you're a master at forgetting.
Do what you love and keep going.
No thoughts to haunt you.
You're right in a way, you know?
They say, "Don't worry about
the past or future,
just live in the present."
That's how my life is now.
Here. Have it.
So, what's your story?
When I was a kid,
I just wanted to buy shoes
and put them on.
But my mom couldn't afford it.
And your dad?
I prayed so many times to God
for a pair of shoes.
I really prayed hard.
Only later did I realize
that it doesn't work that way.
God doesn't buy shoes for us.
We have to take what we need
and just say sorry to God later.
That's easy. He forgives fast!
Oh, is that why temples
are always crowded?
So I kept doing it.
You never had a job?
I did.
Even last time,
I was driving
for someone related to an MLA.
I got a bit too excited
and got caught.
But stealing is wrong,
isn't it, Dhayalan?
See, the word stealing
is the real problem.
I'm just making people alert.
Once I rob them,
they'll be more careful, right?
I'm just charging my service fee!
That's all!
-Fair enough.
-That's all.
Every wrongdoer
justifies their actions.
How can we sleep otherwise?
I thought my life would end
right there in Nagercoil.
You arrived like God Himself
and rescued me.
You said you didn't believe in God?
I don't believe in you either.
But that doesn't mean
Dhaya doesn't exist.
So confusing!
Oh, shoot! I forgot to buy cotton.
For what?
Last night, your snoring was louder
than the noises at the bus station!
Don't worry.
That's not going to happen today.
Whatever you said is right,
but I've just arrived at the station.
Any update on the bike?
That's what we've been discussing, sir.
Someone spotted it near
the fish market.
We'll catch the thief within a week.
A week? You don't realize
how serious this is!
Damn it!
What time is it?
It's noon.
Why didn't you wake me up?
You were exhausted from all that riding.
So I didn't wake you up.
YOU HAVEN'T SENT ME THE CARDS YEHOW LONG WILL IT TAKE
TO MAKE THE COPIES
How far is Tiruvannamalai from here?
It's a two-hour journey.
Two hours?
SEND ME THE PHOTOS
OF THE CARDS FIRST.
MOM'S KITCHEN
Why are you in such a rush?
You seem tense.
Tense?
Buddy!
Buddy!
Karthik!
Coming.
So who am I then?
Dhaya.
Why are you asking?
Just checking if you're still clear.
Who? Me?
Who drank till 12
and passed out last night?
How do you know
his name is Karthik?
I overheard someone call out
to him as we entered.
-Hey, Karthik. Come here.
-Sir.
Serve me some sambar.
Enough.
-Oh, no.
-Sir
-Hey!
-Sorry, sir--
Hey! Watch it, man!
Are you blind?
-Go! Just go!
-Sorry, sir.
-It's okay, Dhaya.
-Scram! Scram!
-Go wash it off, it'll dry on the way.
-Okay.
Go. Go.
Hey, sit down!
Do you see someone dancing here?
-All okay now, sir?
-Okay.
Please sit.
-Hello?
-Tell me.
-Hello?
-Hello!
The duplicate cards are ready.
But the guys can deliver them
only by evening.
Why don't you bring him
to Coimbatore instead?
I'll handle the rest. Okay?
Alright. Bye.
Hey, are we going in
the wrong direction?
What happened?
I just saw the signboard that showed
60 kilometers to Bodhamalai.
Shouldn't we be going to Tiruvannamalai?
Are you trying to trick me
with the Madurai way?
What I mean is
Okay, shall I ask you something?
Don't you remember anything at all?
What are you talking about?
Stop pulling my leg, sir!
Tell me, man! What do you mean?
We went to Tiruvannamalai yesterday,
met your friend,
then you said you wanted
to see your daughter,
asked if I could
take you to Palakkad.
You remember none of that?
Now I get why your
son locks you up.
Wait! Have we already
visited Tiruvannamalai?
Then where's my money?
Money? What money?
Twenty-five lakh rupees, man!
Where's my money?
Hey! What are you blabbering?
By any chance, did you
If I took your money,
would I still be with you?
Oh, no.
Chaari gave me that money.
Who is Chaari?
My brother-in-law.
The reason I went to Tiruvannamalai
was to collect money from him.
So, he is not your friend?
I am married to his sister!
That's not important right now.
Even my son doesn't know about this!
So, 25 plus 25 means 50?
Hey, listen. Kumar!
Call him.
Let me ask him. Call him.
Kumar?
Oh, no! I don't get any of this!
Why are you crying now?
You're getting seriously confused.
First of all,
wash your face.
Here.
Wash your face.
Wait, so went to Tiruvannamalai?
Went? Not yet, we're going.
But you said "went"?
Nope, I said "going."
You weren't listening.
They're doing
road repairs in Thalaivasal.
So we're taking the longer route.
Just to be clear,
we're on the way to Tiruvannamalai.
Never mind.
Shall I write it down in your diary?
It's okay, man.
Sure?
You've started hearing things
I never said.
Looks like your condition
is slowly getting worse, step by step.
Careful.
Dhaya.
Sorry, man.
I couldn't believe it for a moment.
Same here.
Wonder where this road will take us.
I don't know either. Let's go.
-The third gear keeps getting stuck.
-Yes?
Give me a minute.
I'll fix this and be right with you.
Giri, how much did you lose today?
-Why do you care? Will you pay it for me?
-Chill, just asking for fun!
Mind your own business, man!
-Here you go!
-Gone!
He won it!
-Come on. Next round.
-Useless!
-First, shuffle it well.
-Let me do it.
Let me shuffle it well.
Do it.
This is all I have.
-Got to win back whatever we lost.
-Deal the cards.
-Shuffle it well.
-Just wait and watch.
Careful, man.
Hello.
Yes. Coming. Wait there.
-I'll be right back.
-Hey.
-Sir, 5000 rupees.
-Hurry, finish your call and come.
What? 5000 rupees?
-We'll wait here until you get back.
-I'm coming there.
Deal the cards.
That bike, right?
Ganesh sent this for you.
Hey, Ganesh. Got the cards.
Even better than the originals!
Have a blast, buddy!
-Okay, man. I'm hanging up.
-Yes.
Okay.
Wait, how can you leave
without paying us?
-Hey!
-I told you my son will come back.
What's the issue?
You had no money to play,
and now he's running away!
Don't let him leave till he pays.
What's the matter?
You look like a gentleman!
That's why we let you play
without paying first.
You said you'd get the money
from your son.
-Do it now.
-What if I don't?
Hold on.
What's the matter, brother?
Why are you even talking to him, Kumar?
Just throw the money
at him and let's go.
Money? Do we owe him?
-How much?
-Ten thousand.
Don't shout!
Ten thousand?
I played fair, they cheated, and I lost.
Hey!
You think I've got that much money?
You think I do?
I sent the money to Mom yesterday, right?
Which mom?
Brother, can we settle for 3000?
But you've got more, right?
I'm taking it out! What's the rush?
Let go!
You really think you can mess with our guy
and just walk out of this town?
Why?
People in your town don't get stabbed?
Wasn't everything going well?
You have four people with you.
If a fight breaks out,
we'll surely get beaten up.
But before that,
I'll make sure I take down two.
Hold on.
May I suggest something?
Sir, neither 10,000 as you asked
nor 3000 as he suggested.
Let me suggest a fair number.
Six thousand rupees.
No Take 5000 rupees from us
and let's close this topic right here.
Or else if this leads to a police case,
we'll all be in trouble.
This gentleman is suggesting a fair deal.
Kumar.
I'm hungry. Can you go and buy
parotta and curry?
Hey!
Just eat whatever I bring,
shut it, and sleep.
I've been holding it in.
But there's a limit, man.
You could've handled it calmly.
But you've ruined it all now.
Not really.
When he comes to his senses,
he won't remember a thing.
Listen, Dhaya. I'm telling you again.
Be patient until you get the PIN.
Your job is to grab the cash.
Got it?
Show him some love.
Sir, parotta and curry. 60 rupees.
Buddy, I'll call you later.
-Is the dosa ready?
-Yes. Take it.
I'll give you one!
You're not eating well!
-If you hit him, he'll cry even more.
-He keeps crying.
He's a kid. You need patience.
Oh, my baby!
Daddy was going to hit you?
It's okay, my dear. Don't cry.
Finally, we are at Tiruvannamalai!
Sir, do you remember
what happened last night?
What?
I brought you parotta and curry,
but you were already asleep.
Was I?
Alright, man.
How much will you charge
for dropping me off there? I'll pay you.
Still see me as a driver?
That's not what I meant.
Let's meet your friend first.
SHIVA SHIVA
Sir.
Once you see him,
you'll remember, right?
I came here
while I could remember him.
You said
memory loss is a blessing, right?
Forgetting our near and dear ones
is one thing
but do you know how painful it is
to forget about oneself?
Life is all about memories.
Hey, Vela!
Hey, Chaari!
Hey!
Chaari!
How are you, man?
Well, surviving.
Here. Take this.
What was the need for all this?
Let it be. Keep it.
How are you?
I'm good.
Who is he?
He is my new friend.
Peace be with you.
Sir, just a moment.
Hello. Wait.
You didn't even call all this while.
What happened?
How could you just
abandon me like that?
-Who else do I have if not you?
-Alright. Come.
Did you get the PIN
for the second card yet?
Not yet, man.
Is getting the PIN that hard?
I can't rough him up for it,
but I can't let him go either,
he's got the money.
I'm also thinking about
staying at the ashram.
Now they might turn you into a saint!
Just get the PIN.
I wonder
if I should also follow in
your steps to spirituality.
Oh, please!
Once you grow old,
everything feels like a prison.
It doesn't matter
if it's a home or an ashram.
Don't think too much.
-Dhaya, shall we go eat something?
-Sir.
Ready, sir.
Buddy, where's the bathroom?
Over there.
Over there?
-Okay. I'll be right back.
-Go on.
Sir.
Tell me.
-I want to tell you something.
-Yes, tell me.
Isn't his daughter in Palakkad?
-How do you know that?
-He told me.
Please convince him to visit her.
I'll drop him off on the way.
His family must be worried.
It won't be good
to stress them out further.
Don't worry. I'll handle it.
Did he say Kumar and
Krishnaveni are his kids?
Yes.
He married my sister.
He told me that too.
They couldn't have kids,
so they adopted mine.
My wife died when Kumar was born.
Just act like you don't know, okay?
No plans.
Just realized I can't stay here.
I'll wander around a bit
Better go to Krishnaveni's place
and stay there for a few days.
That might help clear your head.
I forgot to ask. What do you do?
He
He works as a security guard.
Must be having lots
of night shifts?
Yeah, mostly.
Comes with the job.
It's obvious.
-Sir, please come here.
-What's the matter?
Listen, don't forget about the cash.
He apparently sent the money
to my account a week ago!
It was I who forgot it!
What are you thinking about?
Nothing.
I'm a bit tired.
I'm thinking about staying here.
But don't you want to go home?
It's okay.
You can leave if you want.
It's okay. I'm in no rush to go home.
Come on, sir.
Let's stay the night
and leave tomorrow.
I want to visit the temples too.
Okay.
How long are you staying here?
Two days.
Name and address, please.
Name's Ramakrishnan.
-Take him inside carefully.
-Okay.
What's on your mind, sir?
-Dhaya.
-Yeah?
Can you do me a favor?
I need to apologize to someone
before I forget everything.
To a friend of mine.
But I don't have the guts to face him.
If I can get his phone number,
it'll be easier.
Never mind. Forget it.
It's too tough.
You won't be able to do it.
Getting someone's number
Yeah, it's not easy
but I'll find it.
Just tell me who it is.
He
He's kind of a big shot.
He has become so influential
that the whole world respects him.
Blinded by his money-fueled arrogance,
he forgot how to be polite.
So I gave it back to him in kind.
It's probably an old story for him now.
But I just want to say sorry once
to feel at peace.
That's all.
I want to meet the store owner.
Sorry, sir. He just left.
-Could I get his phone number?
-And who are you, sir?
-I'm a friend of someone he knows.
-Sorry, sir.
I'm not allowed to
share his number.
-Yeah?
-Mr. Sridhar asked me to come.
He's not here, sir.
Oh.
I came from Chennai.
He asked me to come at 3
for an ad discussion.
I got delayed due to traffic.
Has he left?
He'll be back tomorrow.
He's attending
a friend's wedding reception.
-Alright. I'll come tomorrow then.
-Okay, sir.
Hey! Not fair!
You said we'd go
to the reception together!
I've come with my family.
Hello? Hello?
After the reception?
Sri? Hello?
It got switched off!
I was talking to Sri.
-Your store owner.
-Sir.
-My phone got switched off.
-Okay.
Could you please call him
on your phone?
-Sir That one.
-His personal number?
-The one ending with 43? Yeah!
-Yes, sir.
-It's engaged.
-Is that so?
Maybe he's trying to call me.
If he calls you,
-tell him my phone got switched off.
-Okay, sir.
Your name, sir?
My name? Why don't you ask him?
Thank you, sir.
Hey!
Dhaya.
You look dashing!
You got the number?
Dress up nice, and people believe
whatever you say.
Got a phone deal
at the place where I went.
Side business.
See? I did this for you.
It's okay. It's okay.
See? You're saying it's okay!
So it's okay if I do something wrong
as long as it's for you?
Pulling my leg?
Just kidding, sir.
Here's his number. Call him.
I'll go and
Okay.
Go.
Sir, did you speak to him?
Yeah, I did.
I feel so relieved now.
Thanks a lot, Dhaya.
What are you looking for?
My bike key.
The bike key?
Could the key still be in the ignition?
No way!
Why don't you go and check?
Sir.
Didn't I tell you?
Is your memory issue contagious?
So am I the reason for this?
SWAMI APPAR ASHRAM
Sir, won't they be
looking for you at Nagercoil?
Extensively.
Let them!
Let them do whatever they want!
Ma'am, he broke into
the house from here.
He was strangled with a chain, ma'am.
I don't understand.
The killer peed there
after the murder.
The victim was a jail warden,
so please check his record.
Okay, ma'am.
Also, do you know Ponnambalam,
the minister's PA?
The killer rode here
on his son's bike.
Any information about that bike?
The search is on, ma'am.
We'll find it soon.
Tell me, Pradeep.
The call came 40 minutes
before he died.
Two calls were made
to the same number from the same IMEI.
Thank you, Pradeep.
Fareeda Begum?
-Yes. Sir?
-Any updates?
I asked to trace the last call
-that Manikyavel received.
-Okay.
He received the call
40 minutes before he died.
That number is switched off.
But there are two calls made from
the same IMEI number on the next night.
-To one number.
-Were you able to trace it?
The details of that number are
a bit shocking.
It belongs to Echampatti Srinivasan.
He, too, got murdered.
He was stabbed to death.
But it doesn't end there, sir.
The third call was made last night
to somebody in Tiruvannamalai.
One Mr. Sridhar.
He is still missing.
Sir, we are at the spot.
It's Sridhar, the textile owner.
Okay, sir.
Hey.
We've been riding in the same gear
for so long now.
Why don't you change the gear?
Looks like you're no longer scared!
I got used to it.
Sir, enjoying the trip?
Are you enjoying it?
Definitely.
My journey is not over yet.
Shall I answer your question
after I finish it?
Okay.
No more, no less
This is all I want
Usually, it's the snake
that goes after the rat.
But what if the rat walks
right up to the snake?
Okay, sir. We will do it.
Okay, sir.
Fisu, I've asked Niyas to go
with you to the doctor tomorrow.
Don't go alone, okay?
I'll manage, Mom.
And don't go walking on the terrace
until I'm back, okay?
-Your phone is ringing. Go check.
-Yes.
-Sir.
-Fareeda, what's your plan?
Sir, I'll be heading to Tiruvannamalai.
One thing is confirmed.
If this doesn't end with three murders,
the killer is definitely on the move.
Sir?
-Who am I?
-Dhaya.
Thank you, sir. Thank you.
In this sweet, rapturous life
Oh! The world sways in delight
It dances wild, it plays, it twirls
It dances wild, it plays, it twirls
It dances wild, it plays, it twirls
It dances wild, it plays, it twirls
It dances wild, it plays, it twirls
It dances wild, it plays, it twirls

-It dances wild, it plays, it twirls
It dances wild
What's so special there?
A temple fest at his village.
So he asked us to come there.
I see.
Look out! Careful!
Idiot!
You
Sir?
You're cussing?
Why not?
You're asking me as if your
generation invented such words!
We curse too.
When it's needed.
Announcement to the devotees.
The temple is hosting
a holy feast for all devotees.
A warm welcome to all of you
Dhaya, I've figured it out.
With four-digit PINs,
there are 10,000 combinations.
Even if we test two PINs a day,
it'll take thirteen years,
eight months, and fifteen days.
What the hell, buddy? Thirteen years?
Just a minute.
My friends are here.
I won't be able to come tonight.
What are you doing
with the door locked?
I was in the bathroom.
Now, I'm pouring drinks.
He's very disciplined about this.
Perfect daily routine!
It's all because of him!
Cheers.
ASHWINI DANCE GROUP
SALEM
You and I met yesterday
Only to forget we'd met before
You and I met yesterday
Only to forget we had met before
A breeze, a cool breeze blows
As the play unfolds
Who knows what twists await?
What's got us excited?
Is it something in the air?
It's a song, a whole new song!
We dance to our own beat!
When two hearts meet
It's a song, a whole new song!
We dance to our own beat!
When two hearts meet
You and I met yesterday
Only to forget we had met before
-It was fun.
-The kids had a good time.
Just a minute.
Hello?
Am I speaking to Siva Selvam?
Yes. Who are you?
You won't recognize me by my name.
But Madhumitha must ring a bell.
You must come.
I'll tell you where you should
meet me in an hour.
By the riverbank where flowers bloom
With heady scents
Reminds me of the days I longed
For the love deep within your heart
Oh, my love, you're akin
To a tree rooted deep
Your buds have bloomed
From a silent sleep
Despite the swaying heart
With a garland, you and I would wed
Our gazes, they bloom
As we rustle beneath this shroud
One glance, and I hold on tight
Stringing flowers into a garland
Has someone cast a curse our way?
Are they seeking answers yet?
Pave the way, for pleasure is on its way!
It's a song, a whole new song!
We dance to our own beat!
When two hearts meet
You and I met yesterday
You and I met
Only to forget we had met before
Only to forget we had met before
A breeze
A cool breeze blows
As the play unfolds
Who knows what twists await?
What's got us so excited?
Is it something in the air?
It's a song, a whole new song!
We dance to our own beat!
When two hearts meet
It's a song, a whole new song!
We dance to our own beat!
When two hearts meet!
-And then?
-Then what?
I threw the phone
in the river and escaped!
Sounds like an adventure.
Whose story is this?
It's one of his love stories.
Turns out the girl was
a cop's daughter.
So he ran for his life.
That girl happened to be
passing by just now.
But why did you throw the phone away?
Just throw away the SIM card.
That's where the IMEI number comes in.
What's that?
Every phone has a unique code.
Even without the SIM,
the phone will have that number.
Even with a different SIM,
it can be tracked.
Your location, the people
you spoke with. Everything.
I see.
Nowadays, it's so tough
to commit a crime.
What is it, sir?
What are you thinking about?
Nothing at all
He's from Salem,
and you're from Erode.
How did you two meet?
The jail united us!
Oh, you guys are jail friends?
Sir, he's not
what you take him to be.
He's on another level!
I've been asking him to stop
all this and join me.
He just doesn't listen.
Well,
how are you so confident about
traveling with him?
I am traveling with him?
He's tagging along with me!
I see!
You hear that, Dhaya?
He's already dozed off.
He's leading by
a huge margin now!
Hey, Siva Selvam.
Shall we meet?
Who are you?
And who is Madhumitha?
I'll send your wife a video.
Then she'll know who Madhumitha is.
Only then will you realize.
Hey, please. Please don't.
Tell me what I should do now.
Sir, can you get me that file?
Shit.
Did you manage to find the location?
Not the exact location, sir.
But we've located the tower.
A very short call, sir.
Sorry, sir.
We missed the first call.
Tell me, Pradeep.
Madam, the phone with
that IMEI was switched on,
it made two calls,
then it was switched off.
It was in the Salem area.
When was the second call?
About five minutes ago.
Then the murder might
take place any minute.
Alert the team and get the details
of the guy who attended the call.
-Driver, start the vehicle.
-Okay, sir.
TRUTH ALONE TRIUMPHS
Hey! Listen!
I've read a lot of news about
blackmailing and honey-trapping.
If I go to the police, you're screwed.
This was long ago, and now you're
How do you even
know my wife's number?
Who are you?!
Knowing who I am
is of no use to you.
You bloody--
The target is not moving anymore.
Michel, have you reached there?
Not yet, ma'am.
Another ten minutes or so.
-This happened long ago?
-Yes, sir.
When exactly?
Sir. Sir
Around three and a half years ago.
Three and a half years?
Two years, sir. Two years.
How many kids, excluding her?
Oh, no! No
No one else, sir. I swear!
How many kids do you have?
Which grades are they in?
One daughter is in the 10th grade,
and my younger son is in the 7th grade.
I'll feel very ashamed
if my family finds out.
I made a mistake, sir.
I accept it.
I can compensate you, sir.
Please, sir.
Sir. Sir
Won't it unlock with your face?
Madhumitha's mom is on the line.
If she forgives you,
I'll also forgive you.
Hello. Who is this?
Ma'am. I am
Siva Selvam here, ma'am.
Madhumitha's class teacher.
I--
Sir.
She hung up, sir.
That means she didn't forgive you.
Sir. Sir.
Let me try once again, sir.
One more time.
Please, sir.
One more time.
Step on it.
Can you track the exact location?
Almost, ma'am.
-Dhina?
-Sir, I'm on it. I'm on it.
Hurry up!
A teacher is akin to God.
Kids believe whatever
you tell them.
Is that true?
There was another guy with you, right?
What's his name?
I was alone, sir. I swear.
Arun, sir.
Brief me about him for five points.
Sir, from what they said,
the murder will take place for sure.
But it'll take us
ten minutes to get there.
Ma'am, we can catch
the killer later too.
But someone's life is at
Is he the one?
Yes, sir.
He'll know if I mention
your name, right?
Yes, sir.
Any code words?
No, sir.
I didn't inform them, sir!
I didn't inform the police, sir. I didn't.
Tamil Nadu Police
is like this, right?
Sir. Sir.
Sir
Sir.
Sir.
No, sir!
Let what must happen, happen
Even if justice must hide in shadows
Let it lie concealed in the dark
TRUTH ALONE TRIUMPHS
Ganesh.
Ganesh?
Tell me!
-I've been calling you for a long time.
-What happened?
I think it's your friend's dad.
He's lying unconscious by the road. Hurry!
Dhaya.
There he is!
Are you here, Kumar?
What happened?
When I woke up,
I stepped out for a walk.
A thief hit me and snatched my phone.
It's okay. You're alright.
You should all leave.
I'll take care of him.
Ganesh.
-Does it hurt?
-Who is he?
-My friend's dad. He's unwell.
-Yes.
-Want to see a doctor?
-Maybe later.
Rest for a while.
You'll be okay.
We can leave once you feel better.
To where, Kumar?
I'll tell you.
I feel scared.
Of what?
Of forgetting myself.
That won't happen.
Everything will be fine.
Just take some rest.
You saw that, right?
How can I get the PIN from him?
Sometimes I really feel bad for him.
Don't get too emotional, buddy.
You won't survive like that.
Was he riding this bike? Look carefully.
Yes. This one.
In that case, could you
help us draw his sketch?
Sorry, sir.
I've only drawn trees
and birds as a kid, sir.
But sketching someone's faces
Idiot!
Just describing him.
A guy from the department will draw him.
Then it's okay.
Ma'am, we've got a clue.
It's an old phone, but it works.
Buy a SIM card on your way.
Who is this guy, Kumar?
My schoolmate.
Let's go.
I guess he's still reeling
from the shock.
I wonder when he'll be back to normal.
I can't let him go either.
Then do one thing.
Go to Coimbatore and bring him
to the farmhouse.
Let's finish the deal there.
You own a farmhouse, dude?
Not mine. Shell ownership.
Look at you!
Isn't this Madhumitha's house?
Yes.
Do you know Siva Selvam,
the school teacher?
Siva Selvam.
He didn't behave like a teacher.
He
He took a video of Madhu
and threatened to post it online.
She begged me to move her
to another school.
Mom, I don't want to go to that school.
Please let me join another school.
Why do you keep
asking me the same thing?
-Go study.
-Please, Mom.
Madhu.
That rascal didn't stop there,
and he sent my daughter
to another guy.
He also
It didn't stop there.
He asked Madhu
to arrange a meeting with her friend.
She's a little girl.
What would she know?
Her friend Dhanya
also got trapped in this.
One day, the police came home
as Dhanya had gone missing.
Why is the police asking
you about her?
I'm asking you!
Tell me!
Mom!
Dhanya got trapped
because of me, Mom!
What are you saying?
Yes, Mom! I'm the one
who trapped her!
Mom, please save Dhanya.
I wasn't thinking clearly that day.
I was hesitant to share this with others.
My daughter's reputation was at stake.
I asked her not to tell anyone
and that her friend would come back.
Kids should be brave enough
to admit their mistakes.
And they should feel they can trust
their family, no matter what.
It's our responsibility
to give them that trust.
Otherwise, what's
the point of a family?
A child psychologist from an NGO
gave my daughter counseling.
They offered their full support
to file a case.
But I stopped the counseling
I was scared of how
my husband would react.
The reason for my daughter's suicide
is not just Siva Selvam.
It's also her guilt that
Dhanya went missing because of her.
I never showed this letter
to anybody until now.
Do you know Arun,
who is mentioned in this?
I don't know.
Don't worry. I can understand.
I don't know who did this.
I thought there was no God.
But there is God.
Kumar, where are we going now?
To Dhaya's house.
Who is Dhaya?
My friend.
Mom!
Mom!
Mom!
-Just a minute.
-Okay.
Mother Queen, bless me!
Blessing, my foot!
Mom!
She's a bit angry with me.
Please wait.
Mom!
I swear he's got memory issues!
He was roaming around,
not knowing how to go to Palakkad.
I thought I'd help him out.
He was fine till the milk store.
Is memory loss like electricity now?
Comes and goes?
It's just the starting stage!
It's like that!
When it kicks in,
I become his son, Kumar, a cop.
I understand that
you're doing something fishy.
Everything's fine until his condition
kicks in and he mistakes you for his son.
But leave before
he thinks I'm his wife!
Leave! Get going!
Mom! Mom!
Mom! Mom!
He was a bit of a torture at first.
But I'm used to it now.
He is a naive guy.
Who said he is not?
Sir?
You've been looking at
the photo for a long time.
You also got married on 17th April?
You too?
Yes.
Interesting! You remember these things!
See, Mom?
Her birthday was also
on the same date.
I can forget anything except
that phase of my life.
Why?
Was yours a love marriage?
This breath is all I own
In this breath lives one wish alone
A heart that will never forget you
Your loving gaze and your sweet nothings
Are all mine
-Meenu! Kumar and Krishnaveni are here!
-Who is it?
Your every grief, your joy
Are all mine
There is this one life
And I have just this one truth
-By, Aunt. Bye, Uncle.
-Have a safe journey.
Against the bellowing winds
Like a crow flapping and finding its way
I also take flight and drift away
Is your love akin to sky
That I'm soaring through?
Will this deserted shore
Or this song of mine
Ever feel your breath?
My beloved, my dear dearest!
This breath is all I own
-Hello, ma'am.
-Hi.
She's my daughter, Pavithra.
I brought her to you
for counseling last year.
She's better now,
doing well in her studies.
-She's a top scorer now.
-Wow, that's awesome to hear!
-Thank you so much. Bye.
-Thank you.
-Study well.
-Okay, ma'am.
All the best.
Your every grief, your joy
Are all mine
Meenu?
Listen, sambar is ready.
Idlis will be ready in ten minutes.
We can have breakfast then.
Why are you cooking at this hour?
What's this?
Are you making fun of me?
Look there.
What's bothering you?
-I'll wait in the classroom.
-Okay.
SPEAK CLEARLY
ACT BOLDLY
How are you feeling?
You can open up to me.
Don't cry.
I feel scared, ma'am.
She works as
a child psychologist in an NGO.
So she goes to many
schools for counseling.
It was all going well until now.
I feel scared to send
her alone, Doctor.
Will vascular dementia get better
if treated in the initial stages?
There's no medicine
for memory loss, Velan.
Going forward, she might forget places,
people she's been with,
and even things about herself.
We must make sure he gets punished
as he deserves it!
Yes, ma'am.
Madhu, be brave.
I'm rooting for you.
Alzheimer's disease is
like this, Velan.
You have to be prepared mentally.
Meenu.
Meenakshi.
Have you been waiting here?
Have you been waiting for a long time?
You could've just turned on the AC
and stayed inside the car.
Why are you looking at me
like you're seeing me for the first time?
Get in the car. Let's go.
Sir!
Shall we go, sir?
Dhaya.
You may stay back, man.
Don't come with me.
-Just drop me off at the bus station.
-Sir.
Drop him at Palakkad, okay?
He just came home.
Let him stay back. I shall go.
No, sir. You might take
the wrong route,
and if you go missing, we'll have
to stick posters and look for you.
Drop him off at Palakkad.
See, she said that. Come now!
-Go.
-Alright.
Dhaya!
Hey, sidekick!
I didn't see you around! Why?
Ask her! She is quite busy these days!
Got caught now, right?
Who is he?
He?
He is my friend.
Can I be your friend as well?
It's okay. I was just kidding.
What's your name?
-Amutha.
-Amutha.
-So sweet!
-Hang out with my mom
while I take my friend out
for a short ride.
Bike?
When did you buy it?
It's the office bike.
Dhaya, listen to me.
Drop me off at the bus station.
Your mom is all alone at home.
Mom doesn't have a problem with it.
She is okay.
Have you ever asked her
if she is okay?
You just assumed that she was okay.
Shall I tell you something?
What?
I'm thinking about giving up stealing.
Thinking about it.
That's all.
Okay?
You thought about it, right?
Mom, I'm driving.
Don't you know that?
Dhaya, there's a check
in front of the Lord's picture.
The amount is ten lakh rupees,
and it's in your name.
What happened?
Mom said there's a check
of ten lakh rupees
in front of the Lord's picture.
You started thinking about
giving up stealing, right?
So good things will happen.
Let's go, Dhaya.
Get going.
An unforgettable journey.
What to do?
You'll forget this too.
Maybe try some gestures to remind me,
like Kamal Haasan
in the movie Moondram Pirai.
Oh, no! I'm not a great actor like him!
Alright. Hurry up.
Got things to do tonight.
Tonight, it's your treat, boy!
Let's stay at Coimbatore tonight
and go to Palakkad tomorrow.
We could've stayed at my home instead.
-I have to drink, right?
-Right!
If not Dhanya's relative,
who else could it be, ma'am?
It's so confusing.
At the first murder site,
two sets of fingerprints were found.
For the rest, there was only one.
Hammer, knife, rope, chain.
He's been using different tools.
A call was made before
Siva Selvam's murder.
The killer doesn't have
a pattern, does he?
What if he's a serial killer who doesn't
know that serial killers follow a pattern?
Patterns are not always
followed consciously.
The victims,
they don't even have mutual friends.
Without anything in common,
how can we move forward, Kanagaraj?
-Ma'am, there's something in common.
-What?
Never mind. It's a lame joke.
It's okay. Tell me.
All of them were men.
Dhaya, you came back so soon?
There was a TASMAC
liquor store nearby.
Hey, Dhaya.
HI, ARUN.
I'M SIVA SELVAM'S FRIEND
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
Hello? Where are you?
Now? In Japan.
Mom, I'm in Coimbatore.
LET ME SEND YOU THE LOCATION
I'LL HAIL AN UBER
I'LL START IMMEDIATELY
Take good care of
that gentleman, okay?
Hold on, Mom.
Who is it, Dhaya?
Let me check.
Sir, did you order anything?
Yes. Pay him.
Mom, I'll call you back.
I don't have change, sir.
Keep the change. Go.
But why did you throw away the phone?
Just throw away the SIM card.
That's where the IMEI number comes in.
What is it, sir?
What are you thinking about?
A thief hit me
and snatched my phone.
Did you collect the order, Dhaya?
-Did you pay him?
-Yes.
Okay. Go take a bath now.
Yes! Correct!
-Are you sure?
-Yes, sir!
-That's what he looked like.
-Okay.
Have it.
Feels a bit sad thinking
this trip's about to end.
Me too.
Why do you seem so serious?
Worried about your mom?
Didn't I tell you not to come with me?
Call your mom now.
She must be waiting for you.
Mom.
A water bottle, please.
-No balcony in any of the rooms?
-No, sir.
It's all because of him!
The bike key?
Could the key still be in the ignition?
-I hope the room is nice.
-It's very nice, sir.
Alright. Hurry up.
Got things to do tonight.
I am ready, Velayudham Pillai.
Did you talk to her?
Is she okay?
All okay.
What happened?
You still look serious.
No, no!
Alright.
Let me take a bath now.
You carry on.
My name is Sundaram.
I've come from Dubai.
Mr. Siva Selvam gave me your number.
I need a girl for household work.
Aged around 15 to 16.
I hope you understand.
Yes, I've heard of it and even visited.
THE AGE GROUP YOU'RE LOOKING FOR
IS HARD TO FIND
That's why I approached you.
I'll pay you three lakhs in advance
and the rest
after meeting the girl.
If a cash transaction works for you,
text me back quickly.
Shall we meet today?
I'm in Coimbatore right now.
Everything's safe, right?
Hey, stop!
Why are you driving so fast?
-In a hurry?
-It's a bit urgent, sir.
Turn off the engine.
Please, sir.
Alright. Go see him.
Pay 500 for riding without a helmet,
and you may leave.
It's my friend's bike, sir.
We are roommates.
Why are you showing me the phone?
I want you to know
that it belongs to my friend.
Give me your address.
Singanallur, sir.
What's your father's name?
Shanmugam, sir.
Where do you live?
14th, Krishna Gardens, sir.
If you dare overspeed, you're done for.
I'd never do that again, sir.
Thank you, sir.
Hey! Come.
Are you drunk?
Sir, I am MLA Manimaran's driver.
I went home after my duty hours
and had a couple of drinks.
But then he asked me
to come home urgently.
If you want,
please call him and ask, sir.
Tell me the number.
-8156
Don't drink and drive again.
Leave now.
Meenakshi?
Meenakshi?
Meenakshi?
Meenu?
They're calling you, dear.
What's your name?
I asked you what your name is.
-Meenu.
-What's your full name?
TRUTH ALONE TRIUMPHS
Please answer me.
You don't know?
Do you recognize him?
Do you recognize him or not?
She doesn't know him?
Your Honor,
it's dementia.
She has completely
lost her memory.
Here are the medical reports.
Meenu?
They came to the court
because they trusted me.
Looks like the case
has been withdrawn.
It's their case,
and they made a choice.
What can we do about it?
SP sir.
Hello, sir.
I've noted down
all the details in this diary, sir.
These kids should get justice.
These culprits should be punished, sir.
Not just an arrest.
If the cases go to court,
poor kids will be scared.
Finish them off, sir.
We'll do it, ma'am.
People like them
They don't deserve to live.
They must die.
Thank you so much, sir.
My husband is waiting outside.
I'll take your leave now.
Ma'am, please sit.
I'll fetch him here.
Okay.
This breath is all I own
In this breath lives one wish alone
A heart that'll never forget you
She even forgot me,
the one who meant everything to her.
Yet the children who suffered
remained in her thoughts.
Your loving gaze and your sweet nothings
Are all mine
Your every grief, your joy
Are all mine
People like them
They don't deserve to live.
They must die.
Finish them off, sir.
CENTRAL JAIL, PALAYAMKOTTAI
-Dinesh?
-Sir?
Isn't this Dhayalan?
Yes, sir. He looks like Dhaya.
Dhaya.
I want to tell you
something very important.
-Hi.
-Hey. Come on in.
You didn't leave
for Palakkad yet?
I'm Ganesh!
No.
We were roaming around
here and there.
Get ready and come.
I'll wait downstairs.
Come, man.
-Carry on.
-Okay.
Why did you ask me to come?
Come, I'll tell you.
He seems to be a notorious criminal!
I thought he was a good man!
No matter how rich he is
I can't forgive him for this.
Damn it!
They're just kids!
Even I'm not a good person. I agree.
But I can't accept this.
He conned you well, man!
We shouldn't let him get away.
You even took him home!
Amutha!
Damn!
Hey
Let's step outside.
It was fleeting,
but I felt a connection with him.
Screw it! I don't want his money!
Are you nuts?
We should take money
from such bad people.
He doesn't have
any memory issues, right?
Let's take him to the farmhouse.
I'm so furious that I might just
He tricked me nicely!
I trusted him blindly.
Dhaya.
We underestimated him.
Now let's show him who we are.
Give me a minute.
Shall we go?
Ganesh wants to go to his farmhouse.
Why not? You guys go there.
I'll get going.
Why are you in such a hurry?
Is anybody waiting for you?
I'm not in a hurry
Then what?
We couldn't party well that night.
We slept too early.
Let's party today.
You can leave after that.
I'll drive you to Palakkad in my car.
We'll see that later.
Now let's go to the farmhouse with him.
Full music! Full-on!
We'll rock the party!
Of course! We can do whatever we want.
Nobody will question us!
It'll be fun. Our last party.
Okay, if you say so.
Okay, superb.
Ride with him.
I'll buy the booze
-and other stuff, and join you.
-Okay.
My cooking!
Hey, send me the location.
Let's go.
You guys go ahead.
I'll join in a while.
Careful, okay?
Please check if she received
any calls after his release.
-Okay, ma'am.
-Also, inquire at the jail
whether he had any cellmates.
Even if he hadn't called his mom,
he would've definitely called his friends.
See if anyone in their
call logs is currently traveling.
Okay, ma'am.
I forgot to ask your name
when you came home the other day.
Velayudham Pillai.
Velayudham Pillai from Salem!
No! Madurai!
What kind of work did you do in Madurai?
Will you ask everything
while driving?
Do you lie a lot?
There's this friend of mine.
His name is Kalai.
One day, he came home
to meet me.
This incident happened several years ago.
Is that okay with you?
No worries. Tell me.
We've traced their location.
We are on our way, sir.
Well done. Okay, Fareeda.
You remember all your
old stories so well!
Do you really have
a memory condition?
What are you looking for?
No
-Dhaya?
-I've shared the location with him.
He'll come.
Okay.
Whenever you visit Coimbatore,
do you stay at the farm?
No way.
It'll take a lot of time
to go there and return!
Do you own the farm?
In a way, yes.
But you can say I'm a caretaker.
Dual role.
It's my friend's farm.
I'm taking care of it.
You're looking for Dhaya, right?
He'll come.
Could you please stop the car?
What happened?
Need to pee.
We're almost there.
It's quite urgent.
Then pee in the car!
Just kidding!
We're almost there.
Not bad?
You caught me?
So, the one I was looking for
Arun, is that you?
Let it be.
Who are you, man?
What's the link between you and me?
Why are you roaming around with Dhaya?
Remember Madhumitha?
That schoolgirl?
Are you her father?
Oh
Dhanya's father?
Are you here looking for her?
She's in Singapore and she's happy.
They are just little girls, man!
It's okay.
For me, girls are like mangoes.
Whether ripe or unripe,
I devour them with passion.
Especially, if it's an unripe mango,
I enjoy it to the fullest!
I share it with others too.
You're such a terrible person.
Does Dhaya know that?
He's so useless.
He won't do such things.
Do you know what happens
if he finds out?
Mr. Maareesan,
in this version of the story,
he knows you are the villain.
Pedophile.
By the time he gets here,
you'll already be dead!
Memory loss, right?
Just die!
I've already given him my share of blows.
Now it's your turn.
Dhaya.
We took you lightly.
Why, sir?
Why did you roam around
with me for a week?
Let's finish him off, I say!
We can bury him right here.
Nobody's going to find out.
Memory issue?
Untie him, Ganesh.
What for?
Untie the knot.
He fooled you, Dhaya.
Untie the knot!
What else do you have to ask him?
Let me kill him with my hands!
I said, untie him!
Why are you stopping me?
Dhaya.
What the hell are you doing?
What's this new habit, Dhaya?
Do you know what he was saying?
I know what he was saying
and also what Mr. Arun was saying.
-Sir.
-Not bad?
You caught me?
So, the one I was looking for
Arun, is that you?
You're such a terrible person.
Does Dhaya know that?
He's so useless. He won't do such things.
In this version of the story,
he knows you are the villain.
Pedophile.
We can hang up now, sir.
Oh! So, no point in talking anymore!
Sir!
Dhaya.
Your friend?
Do you really have to do this?
Dhaya, I'm your friend!
Dhaya.
Please leave, sir!
Let go, Dhaya!
Listen to me, Dhaya!
Sir!
INTEGRATED COURT COMPLEX
COIMBATORE
-Mr. Velayudham Pillai.
-Sir.
Could you tell us why you committed
all these murders?
If I tell you that, you'll demand proof.
Not everybody can
come to the court, right?
They are kids. Poor souls.
Even if they come, they can't
stand the questions you ask.
Okay. Let's say that all of
them were child abusers.
But how could you
kill them for that?
Do you want to reform
the state on your own?
Please forgive me, sir.
I'm not a complete fool to claim
that I can reform the state on my own.
Why did you commit
these murders, then?
There's nothing to it, sir.
They enjoy raping small kids.
I enjoy killing such people.
So, do you confess
that you committed all the murders,
Mr. Velayudham Pillai?
Yes, sir.
Sir, she passed away
carrying all that pain.
I thought I'd do three or four good deeds
before my time was up.
Well, it ended up in five!
Also,
there's a place
where they abandon old people
That place
What is it called, Dhaya?
Oh no, this time I really forgot, Dhaya.
Old-age home.
Yeah.
Old-age home!
Instead of rotting away
in a place like that,
isn't it better
to spend my last days in jail
after taking down these monsters?
Any concluding statement,
Mr. Velayudham Pillai?
Kindly declare your verdict, Your Honor.
The fact that Velayudham Pillai,
the prime accused,
has confessed to the crime,
and in light of the officers' findings,
the charges against Dhayalan,
the secondary accused, are unfounded.
The court hereby orders
that the verdict is postponed
to later this week.
Just a minute.
Wait.
For what, ma'am?
Because I'm going to jail?
My daughter has
given birth to a baby girl.
I thought I should share
this news with you first.
Thank you.
-Sir.
-Yes?
I am Madhumitha's mom.
Really?
They are Dhanya's parents.
-Hello.
-Thank you, sir.
Ma'am
Have you been able
to rescue Dhanya?
Don't worry.
We've rescued her.
How old were those girls?
Around 13-16.
Sixteen years!
No, Dhaya.
You shouldn't do it!
Don't do it! No!
Leave him to me!
Don't you do anything stupid, okay?
Dhaya. Dhaya.
He's only offering you peanuts.
Don't get carried away, Dhaya!
Join me.
You'll be filthy rich then!
Hey, Dhaya.
Listen to me, Dhaya.
We're not that different.
No, you and I
are worlds apart.
Hey! What the hell did you do?
I told you so many times not to do it.
Did you think about yourself?
Did you even think
about your mom?
I only thought about those girls.
Such a noble person!
So thoughtful!
-And you?
-Buzz off, you!
-Sir?
-Let go, man!
The least I can do is
think about you! Let me go!
Sir!
Are you feeling ashamed
that you killed your friend?
I feel happy
that I did something good in life.
Kumar, take good
care of Krishnaveni.
Please forgive me, Uncle.
-Please support Velan!
-Please support Velan!
-Please support Velan!
-Please support Velan!
You've done our society a great service.
People are ready to stand with you.
What's your message
to the people of this country?
People say it's a revolution.
What are your thoughts?
We're all on your side, sir!
POLICE
You could've gotten away from me
whenever you wanted.
Why didn't you do it?
I felt that you could
be of use to me.
Why are you laughing?
One seven zero four.
Isn't that your ATM PIN?
You might forget everything in life,
but will you forget that?
It's your wedding date, right?
Come to think of it,
isn't it your wife's birthday as well?
Kumar calls you uncle, right?
Yes.
I never had the chance
to call anyone Dad.
Well, when I saw you at Nagercoil,
you were chained
That
That's where I committed
my first murder.
Who the hell are you?
How dare you barge into my house and
She's not even your daughter!
Then why are you so agitated?
You
It'll hurt me no matter
whose daughter she is.
Kumar, are you home?
