'PURAKKAYAM
25 MAY 2024, 04:16 AM'
[Siren wails]
[Vehicles rushing]
Two ambulances have already arrived.
We're unable to see anything clearly.
The locals are saying--
Six kilometres more! Step on it!
Keep going!
Go fast!
We've informed Pampadi.
They'll start soon, sir.
-Has the NDRF been informed?
-Yes, yes.
Are the NDRF team at the spot?
[Tires screech]
[Siren continues]
Get the rope from inside.
Okay, sir.
Put whoever you can in the ambulance
and get going.
People at the back! Move away!
Stop, stop!
Come on, lift.
Push! Push!
Watch the hand.
Push!
[Eerie music intensifies]
O serpent that strangled
the forest breath
Beware,
an elephant stands guard in these wilds
[Menacing music builds]
Careful, careful!
Adarsh, over here!
Come here.
Don't go yet!
There's one more person.
Sir, look over here...
Sir, please look.
I'm sure my child is underneath.
Don't worry, son.
Get the ambulance.
[Suspenseful music plays]
He's not conscious. Hold the head.
Bring the ambulance! Over here!
Help me, please...
Oh, dear...
-I'm under this mud...
-Is anybody there?
-We're the Fire Force.
-Please help me, sir...
There's someone in there.
Sir... he's responding.
-Move this.
-My leg is stuck, sir.
Move it to the side.
-Don't fall inside.
-Slowly.
Careful, slowly.
-Brother...
-Oh, no!
Don't be scared! We're the Fire Force.
Are you alone?
Is there anyone else with you?
Open! Pull it!
[Man cries in fear]
-Sir...
-Brother...
-Breathe... breathe...
-Watch out!
-Slowly...
-Move this.
Don't be scared...
Careful, careful...
Don't pull...
Your hand...
Hold on.
Watch the hand, careful.
Up, up!
-Brother, watch your hand.
-Careful with the legs.
Pull me up.
Sir, sir...
I'll be back, sir.
[Distant screams and panic]
[Thunder roars]
SIR!
Sir! Inside the jeep...
[Chilling music swells]
Sir, look...
[Devotional song on speaker]
Oh, swami!
Swami Sharanam!
Swami, don't sleep.
Yeah...
Please listen.
Our MGR,
Sivaji Ganesan,
Rajinikanth...
Kamal Haasan, Mammootty,
Mohanlal...
-Suresh Gopi...
-Which Suresh Gopi?
Our Union Minister, Suresh Gopi.
Swami, do you know how
they rose from stars to superstars?
Because we paid money and cheered for them!
Oh, Swami, it was the fights!
Those epic fights!
[Car speeds off]
Palani Swamy.
Stunt by...
Palani Swamy.
-Have you heard of him?
-No, man...
We had two teams in Madras back then.
One was Thygarajan Master's team
and the other was Palani Master's team.
Do you know how many heroes and actors
I've been a dupe for, oh Swami!
In the movie, 'Kadhal Paravai'--
OH, NO!
-Swami Sharanam!
-Oh, no!
Where the hell are you looking
while driving, you bloody!
Out to kill us or what!
Who taught you driving, huh?
Should we complain to our minister?
That's how Government things are!
So, what if it's the Government's?
You should have some ethics!
My heart skipped a beat.
But all through our Sabarimala trip,
your stories told a different tale.
Enough with the bragging!
Get back into the car.
Want a black tea, Swami?
Oh! My wife had told me then itself
not to go in his junkyard car!
We should've reached Ranni in 1.5 hours.
-It has been 2.5 hours already!
-Swami, I can go fast.
But I'm not, for your sake.
-Get in, Swami or the leeches will get you.
-Get lost!
Sabarimala's leeches, after all!
A little bite never hurt!
Why not pack some leeches in your bag then?
So, where were we?
Ah, yes! 'Kadhal Paravai'!
Benz!
Swami Sharanam.
-Ayyappa Sharanam!
-[elephant trumpets loudly]
Are there elephants in Sabarimala?
Oh, dear! Swami...
Sometimes, herds roam around
Ponampara area.
Just roam or will they attack us, Swami?
Elephants won't attack
when they're in herds.
There are rogue ones that wander off.
You need to be careful of those.
Benz, have you seen an elephant?
-I have... once...
-Hmm?
Well, no...
Have you seen a tiger, Benz?
That I've seen.
On the calendar.
Lord Ayyapan sitting on top of a tiger.
Cut the teasing, Swami.
-You!
-Ouch!
Swamiye! Sharanam Ayyappa!
-Ayyappo!
-Swamiyee!
-Swami Sharanam!
-Ayyappa Sharanam!
Swamiye!
Ayyappo!
Ayyappo!
Swamiye!
O God!
O Goddess!
[Melodic music starts]
Do your eyes begin to glisten?
Is your heart drifting somewhere far?
'THUDARUM'
With a bundle of stories
Down a quiet lane in the soft breeze
A time once lost will return
Soft laughter will fill the air
A gentle touch will carry
the story forward
Do your eyes begin to glisten?
Is your heart drifting somewhere far?
Sweet memories, timeless and true
Forever engraved
in the core of my heart
Sweet memories, timeless and true
Forever engraved
in the core of my heart
With warmth and solace in your gaze
Did you come near, ever so softly?
Like moonlight embracing the rain
Did you melt into my soul,
ever so tenderly?
You are my earth
I am your sky
Like stars in the night
Our little ones shine
The time we walked together
A world of wonder,
branching into countless paths
Do your eyes begin to glisten?
Is your heart drifting somewhere far?
With a bundle of stories
Down a quiet lane in the soft breeze
Oh, dear!
Come on Agent X, let's go!
How come you're late?
So, what if I'm late, man?
I would've just taken an auto.
Why take an auto when you've your own car?
Car?! This thing?
This is poop cult!
World certified poop cult!
Come on.
Poop cult?!
Come, get in.
Swami Sharanam!
Pavi, why do you have such cheap words
in your dictionary?
-Poop cult?!
-Nice, no?
Who came up with it?
Ah, leave that.
Do you know how many great men's bums
have graced this car?
And you call it...
-Where are you?
-I can hear you...
Where's your Benz?
-Give him the phone.
-No.
-Mom, you're on loud... just talk.
-Benz!
Why did you cut my call?
I didn't, my dear Lalitha! I'm driving.
So?
Your daughter is full of mischief.
She bought a phone for Google Classroom
and what's she googling, huh?
When I looked, she was under the sheet,
and going hee-hee, tee-hee!
Hee-hee, tee-hee?! What's that?
I was about to catch her red-handed,
but she escaped to the bathroom.
So I locked her in.
Let her remain there!
Benz! Mom is mad!
Your...
Your dad is the mad one!
What's this? Stop troubling my child.
Just keep quiet!
I'm not the troublemaker.
Your daughter is!
Hello?
-Hello?
-Hung up... She hung up.
What's she talking about? Is it true?
Ah! How do I know?
You also don't know?
[Dog barks]
[Bucket dragged across floor]
Where's everyone?
Did they clash and break up?
Because it's our mother,
we can't be too sure.
Back, back, back...
Back, back...
-Okay!
-Help me you, dog!
Get lost, you dog!
Naz! Come here! Here!
-Come here.
-You!
Hey!
I bought you such an expensive phone.
Benz!
When I call,
neither father nor son picks up.
-I was in the hostel, Mom.
-Door... door!
-So what? Can't call back?
-Benz!
I had gone for a shower.
Shouldn't your family know where you are?
I was coming here anyway.
Nice sari.
Hey, Karup. Come in.
Help me... help!
I'm trapped!
Benz...
Benz!
[Playful music plays]
The kids have learned
all the mischief from you.
All cut from the same cloth!
How is that possible, Benz?
-Fed up!
-Come, come.
Don't go. Please...
Oh, my mother!
Please give way, Mundakkal Shekhar!
-Thanks!
-Hey, hey!
What's this hee-hee, tee-hee business
under the sheet?
Me?! Hee-hee, tee-hee?!
Just get lost!
What's the point in saying that?
Where'd you find this character, Benz?
You know, she is a cringe fest lady.
Crunch?!
I meant your wife is cringe!
She's the real psycho of Madampalli!
I'm the crazy one when I say something!
Got that boy a phone,
neither will he call or pick up my call!
And that girl!
Daddy's princess!
Reels Queen!
She has no time to read a book.
Everyone's trying to fool me.
But you are the fools.
Idiot!
What's it now? What happened?
They're kids...
Oh, no!
Oh, no! My pot!
Leave that. I'll speak to her.
-What about this?
-I said I'll speak to her.
Let's go out and eat.
-Really?
-Yes.
-Let's go.
-For real?
What meets the eye is real.
Yeah, right.
[Playful music continues]
Aha...
The food is tastier when we sit outside.
Am I right?
Benz, give this.
Pappadam!
Ask!
-About the hee-hee, tee-hee?
-What?!
-Dear...
-Yes?
-Everything will be good until it's not.
-For whom?
Instead of giving her a one tight slap,
you're quoting MT Vasudevan Nair?
I was just saying...
Dear...
At your age, you'll feel all this.
Feel what? You've seen the world,
then why are you like this, Benz?
-Bloody dirty boomer vibe! Ugh!
-I've seen...
but your 'crunch' mother hasn't.
This world is your wrestling ground, right?
Your body's all muscle!
Shame theres none in your brain!
I was such an idiot!
He said we'd eat out and I fell for it!
You may stumble in love,
but never skip a chance to love.
Who said so?
Kamala Surayya.
You can love... but don't get trapped.
Who said so?
Your father!
Father and kids want to keep a dog.
-But no one can be bothered to feed it.
-Correct!
Why can't you, huh? Go on!
At least you go out and eat.
If you sit here,
they'll make a fool out of you too!
Whose arrow soars through the air?
Brushing here, grazing there
The elephant trots around, full of play
As light dances,
I see the mountain rise to life
A sweet song carried by
the Tamil breeze
Hear the little cuckoo sing its melody
Oh, how lovely you are!
A heart as pure as can be
My dream, my life
You are my everything
You! GO!
O precious flower,
like a mirror in bloom
You bloom in joy
across the courtyards light
Oh smiling breeze, fluttering butterfly,
little one so sweet
You lie nestled in the shade
of the treacly mango tree
O little birdie,
You are the tender shade that embraces me
Like honey dripping from a cupped leaf,
You flow into me
Your touch woven with quiet solace
Come, come along
Come along this way
With wings born of a dream
To wander the sunlit paths
Get in! Go to your classes!
Like light drifting through the day
Where are you going, Maniyan?
Benz bro! I went to buy some stuff
for the workshop.
-Is Kuttichan there?
-Yes, you coming?
What, man? You'll look ugly without a head!
-Keep it on your head.
-Right, bro.
Rest in peace, bro!
Go, go!
Step on it and go, man!
-When did you get back from Sabarimala?
-Last night. Swami Sharanam.
-What's this?
-I'll ask you when I need it.
Maniyan...
Which group?
Neelathamara.
Neelathamara, as in blue lotus?
Just upload it here too.
Your lotus.
In the corner of the yard,
on the green grass
Shall we sit, side by side,
with love and laughter?
Oh, my sweet pearl-eyed deer
With no quarrels between us, dear
Shall I remain,
my gaze fixed upon yours?
Like a soft petal,
Two hearts will entwine
These tiny moments of love
Will bloom into rainbows
The sky above, with eyes wide open
Stands still in wonder
As the hues of our laughter
Adorn the walls of our little home
-What's wrong with my family?
-Who's that?
WHO'S THAT?!
[Sniffing]
Nah... it's not that.
Make sure to bring my sacks back.
Come on, let's go.
As the sun graces the morning sky
Enough! Only four people!
Hey!
Hey, you!
No Hans inside the car!
Nothing else to do or what?
Just sit at home, no?
You just have to say something, no?
Just call me, I'll come.
-I have Uber.
-Huh?
Uber!
-This shakes a lot.
-Why, your Uber doesn't shake or what?
Nope.
In the season of new blooms
When petals brush against us
Why does your heart flutter so?
Touch that beard
and I'll chop your hands off!
Who's got a problem with your beard?
Youll shave it off when I say so.
Who has a problem with this beard, huh?
I'm not shaving.
Don't!
Who's got a problem
if I keep this beard, huh?
A heart as pure as can be
O precious flower,
like a mirror in bloom
You bloom in joy
across the courtyards light
Oh smiling breeze, fluttering butterfly,
little one so sweet
You lie nestled in the shade
of the treacly mango tree
O little birdie,
You are the tender shade that embraces me
Like honey dripping from a cupped leaf,
You flow into me
Move, will you!
There's someone inside, a lady.
This is for men.
-Come out! Been forever.
-Will she come out soon?
Thank you.
Were you taking a shower?
You also go.
Someone's inside.
My husband.
To wander the sunlit paths
Like light drifting through the day
Come, come along
Come along this way
With wings born of a dream
Get lost!
To wander the sunlit paths
Like light drifting through the day
It's a token of our happiness.
Keep it.
Alright, click.
[Camera shutter clicks]
[Ilaiyaraajas song plays in car]
'KANNAGI NAGAR, CHENNAI'
Anbu...
Master.
Do you want sugar?
I'm your fighter, Master.
I don't have sugar problem.
Is that so...
Anyway, good.
Luna.
Here you go.
Sugar tea.
[Tamil song plays in car]
[Benzs phone rings]
Uh, oh! Master!
[Jeep engine running]
Hey Benz!
Hello.
Greetings, Master.
Dear...
Tell me, Master.
I haven't heard from you in a few days.
Super busy, huh?
Not like that, Master.
Always on the move!
Ilavaras is here with me.
Should I pass the phone to him?
Hey Buddy, Benz!
How are you, Ilavaras?
I'm good, man.
Just came to check on Master.
How's Lalitha?
She's good.
Pavi's friends are visiting us today.
She's busy cooking for them.
-Hey, convey my regards to Pavi.
-Sure.
-Here, talk to Master.
-Convey my regards to Sumathi and kids.
Thanks, buddy. Wait a minute.
Master...
[Heavy breathing]
Benz,
that medicine Lalitha gave me last time,
it's finished.
Oh, is it?
If someone's coming over,
can you send some?
Sure, Master.
I feel like seeing you.
Master...
Whe... when are you coming?
I'll come soon.
Okay, Master.
Oh wow! What a kickass car!
-Hey, Kiran, don't touch it.
-Whose car is this?
Black Ambassador!
Vintage!
If I'd known you were from
such a well-off family earlier,
I would've loved you a bit more!
Hi!
Uncle, is this Mark 3... 2...?
Mark 1! It's Mark 1!
-What's your name, son?
-Mark 1.
I mean your name.
Oh... Kiran.
Uncle, can I sit in the front seat?
Of course! You're the one
who should sit in the front. Get in.
Hey, you get in the trunk!
Poop cult, eh? Will give you one!
-Come in, man.
-Suit yourself.
Damn his bag!
Ready.
My granddad used to have
an Ambassador like this.
-Really?
-For real.
But he sold it for scrap.
What an idiot!
I wish I was born as your son, Uncle.
Wasted!
Kamal Haasan!
Mammootty!
Uncle, are these actually original?
Of course!
Did you notice the frame
above Mammootty sir's photo?
-Who's that?
-He's our Master. Palani Master.
Fight! Fight! Absolute knockout!
You mean, the stunt, Uncle?
Haven't you told them these stories?
Never ever!
He never said anything, Uncle.
See the swag of Kamal Haasan, the Andavar!
Which movie was this?
Hey, which movie is this,
with Kamal Hassan sir?
-Vikram! Vikram!
-Yeah, Vikram.
Lokesh's Vikram?
No, director Rajashekharan sir's movie,
the old one.
-There's another Vikram?
-Our Anbu's movie.
Yeah, yeah.
They are little kids, after all.
Bloody hurricane!
Lit!
You slayed it, Uncle!
Nah...
Aha, straight to the dining table?
-Sorry! Be seated!
-What's going on?
It's chill, Uncle.
-Are you alright?
-I'm okay.
-Wasn't on purpose, no.
-Come on, eat.
Can't I lean back on this chair?
No, you can't. You will fall.
-Just budge over, you elder brother!
-Bring that plate.
Serve them pappadam.
-PAPPADAM!
-Is it the same curry always?
-Hey, all of you, eat up.
-Please gimme some rice.
-Can I have some vegetables?
-Of course, you can!
[Benzs phone rings]
Right away...
Here's your mango curry.
Have it.
Can't he hear the phone ringing?
So irresponsible!
-Eat up.
-Oh, I didn't bring the kichadi.
Forgot it.
Okay, eat up.
Carry on.
You look nicer with a bit of chubbiness.
You can practically roll instead walking!
There's a dog waiting outside.
-What happened?
-Nothing. Will be right back.
-Take that dish.
-Do you need anything else?
Coming!
Just... make it quick!
Kids... they are having lunch!
Huh?
-Coming... I am coming! Wait!
-Who is that?
Who's that?
Start the bike! Start the bike!
To the beverage.
Go!
-Okay, start.
-I thought it's also coming.
[Bike engine starts]
Wants to come to the liquor shop.
OH, one full bottle.
No need, one pint will be enough.
Just take a decision, man!
Brother, don't stress me out.
Let me think for a second!
What's there to think about?
It's not a wedding proposal!
Okay, do one thing,
get us a one litre bottle.
Go buy it yourself!
You'd even drink it from the sewers.
-Give it here, bloody boozer.
-One litre. Quickly.
Hey, there goes
a wreck of a vehicle just like yours!
Wait, is it actually yours?
-Where?
-Open your eyes and look!
Oh no! That's my car!
Exactly.
Give it.
Gimme the bottle!
-Move aside.
-Wait for me.
Don't abandon me here
among these drunkards.
Slowly... watch out!
Hold on.
You know how many Ambassador cars
I've driven in my life!
But this...
is this really a vintage car?
Don't fool around!
Turn the car around.
Benz wouldnt even let anyone
lay a finger on his car.
Forget that!
This isn't a car for humans to drive!
Which little devil is causing such chaos?
Oh, no! My car!
-That's your car, man!
-Where's the gear?
Tell me, where's the gear!
-It's here!
Ah.
Don't worry. After two kilometres,
the car will stop on its own!
Shut up, you!
You said you'll drive it
only up to the gate, loser!
-My plan was to stop it at the gate.
-Look ahead and drive, please.
But this thing doesn't stop!
It's unstoppable.
Oh, no! A turning!
An electric post!
There it goes.
See how smooth it is
with a skilled driver behind the wheel!
How fast it goes!
The car is swerving!
Hold on to the steering!
How many Ambassadors have you driven?
-Plenty!
-Plenty, my foot!
No wonder your grandfather
sold his car for scrap!
My God, a lady!
Couldn't she have stayed home?
Stop the car, you!
Hey, man! It's Benz!
Look, there's enough space
on the road for a Benz to pass!
-Not that! I mean, my father, Benz!
-Stop the car!
Please don't stop! Benz is right behind us.
Don't scare me, man!
Hey, stop!
He's your father, not an elephant.
An elephant is better than my dad!
I cannot find my feet, man!
Then why on earth did you hop in?
He's the car owner!
You better stop the car.
Stop the car!
It stopped!
Did it crash?
-Screwed it!
-Why did you pull the steering wheel?
I was handling it!
Benz...
What the hell did you do?
-Get out of the car.
-You're in the back seat, you first.
Sorry, Uncle, please don't slap me!
Go check if the bumper is still there.
What did you do, dear?
[Car engine ignites]
Shucks!
Enough, enough.
What if someone had gotten hurt?
Hey, no, Benz!
[Intense music plays]
-Let go of it, Benz.
-Doesn't seem like major damage, Uncle.
Don't waste your time, it's gone.
Ugh!
I...
[Melancholic music swells]
-Benz bro...
-Yeah.
The AC condenser took a good hit.
Oh, no!
And the lower arm is damaged too.
How long will you
keep pouring money into this junk?
Sell it and get a new one.
Do I owe you any money?
No.
Then zip it!
Hey...
Not you, I was calling him.
For that parking light,
get a second-hand one tomorrow.
My car doesn't do second-hand!
-Maniyan...
-I'll never do that, bro.
Go and rest in peace, bro.
-I will get this done.
-Keep clinging to this old car!
Kuttichan, enough being bossy!
Bend over and remove that bolt.
-Benz, take a sip.
-No, I'm good.
-Come on, just one drink!
-Nah.
Fine, I'll have it myself.
Shaji, go give him a drink.
Let him feel better.
Go and speak to Benz, make him understand.
Damn! Pick up the phone!
Let go of it, Benz.
Kids these days are like that.
I lost my control, Shaji.
Try calling him once again.
Come on.
[Subtle sorrowful tune]
Hey...
when did you come back?
-Just now.
-Come upstairs.
Hey, Pavi...
where are you, son?
Benz bro!
I've secured the bumper with wire for now,
will weld the clamp tomorrow.
Hey, when we send... sound... as message...
how do we know if they've received it?
When they say they received it.
Idiot! Don't make me look an idiot!
Like I need to!
Check if the blue tick appeared, bro!
-What?
-Blue tick! It's blue in colour!
So clueless!
Pavi, my son...
let it go, please.
In the heat of that moment... I...
Sorry, dear.
Where are you, son?
I am sorry, dear.
[Music continues softly]
Why are you being so egoistic?
Just reply to him.
Even with all our strength combined
we couldnt move that car an inch!
But those kids drove it
at a speed of 110 km.
So, obviously the car would crash, right?
[Benzs phone rings]
If something goes wrong,
-Uh, oh! Master!
-I'll give my car to Benz.
Hello Master, tell me.
Benz, this is me, Ilavaras.
Master has left us...
[Shocking sound effect]
[Ilavaraz cries]
[Grief-stricken music plays]
Oh, no!
Oh, Murugan, my lord!
O, my beloved
If not you, who will hear my cry?
Let me also come with you.
I... need to see him one last time.
You've always seen him with a smiling face.
Whose shoulder will bear
the weight of my words?
Let that be your memory...
forever.
You were the light in my eyes
The path beneath my feet
You bore me with grace
Like a bird perched on your shoulder
Your love stood tall
Like a sheltering banyan tree
But now that you are gone
Where shall this bird find a nest?
Your love stood tall
Like a sheltering banyan tree
But now that you are gone
Where shall this bird find a nest?
Benz...
What happened, Uncle?
Why are you crying?
Your love stood tall
Like a sheltering banyan tree
[Benzs phone rings]
But now that you are gone
Where shall this bird find a nest?
Hello.
Kuttichan,
did you get the headlight for my car?
Um... Wh... what happened to Master?
Master wasn't well at all.
After COVID and everything
his health deteriorated.
Moreover, he preferred
to stay alone always, right?
Please take your medicines on time.
Take care of your health.
Okay.
What's wrong with you?
Not feeling well?
Nothing, nothing.
-Why the police station?
-Lets just stop by for a moment.
Why did you bring me here?
I need to go home.
-Did you cause any trouble, Siyachan?
-No, Benz, not at all.
Yes, sir. You may leave.
Shaji...
[Anxious music plays]
Shaji, what's the matter?
Oh, no!
Don't panic, Benz!
I'm trying to sort it out.
Just give me some time.
-Sir...
-Huh?
Sir, we haven't received your contribution
for Sudheesh's sister's wedding.
-I'll pay it, don't nag me!
-Okay, sir.
Damn! I shouldn't have asked!
Good morning.
Kuttichan, stay still!
[Sniffling sounds]
[Long, drawn-out sniff]
[Coughing]
[Harsh, forceful cough]
Stop beating around the bush
and get to the point, Shaji.
Sir, if you want,
you can definitely help us.
He literally punched me in the eye
before running off!
So, me 'wanting to help you'
isn't going to be that easy!
Wasn't that rascal working
in your workshop?
Huh? Wasn't he?
I'm asking you, wasn't he?
He joined me just to learn the work, sir.
Right?
Oh, really?
Is this what you've been teaching him?
Smuggling marijuana?
Whoever smuggled and whoever helped,
will all be screwed.
This has been going on here
for quite a while now!
Sir, that's my car.
Who the hell are you?
Sir, I'm Be Be Be
Be! Be! Be! What are you, a chicken?
Shanmugham.
Where's your taxi permit?
Huh?
Who on earth gave that junk car
a taxi permit?
Sir, it's only for local rides--
Uncle...
where have you hidden that pest?
Sir, I am Siyachan, a driver.
It's your sister's wedding
and you're still here?
Sir, I am Siyachan, a driver.
Yeah sir, I have to go.
-Sir,
-Come in, man!
See this brat grinning in the photo?
Yes.
He's got eight or ten drug cases
against him in Kottayam and Thiruvalla.
Marijuana...
-Sir...
-What?
-Sir, if there's any fine, I can pay it.
-Oh, no, thanks.
Sir, he'll pay.
Can't you understand
what I'm saying, Uncle?
You can't understand, huh?
What's this fool standing here gawking at?
Sir, about my sister's wedding...
-So?
-My leave...
-Your sister's wedding, right?
-Yeah.
You can go the day before.
Wait for the Inspector to come.
You may go.
-Sir...
-Go on...
-Sir...
-What, man?
If needed, I can talk to the CI.
I'm the one who seized
that junk of yours lying outside.
When the Inspector isn't here,
I make the decisions.
Didn't I explain everything to you clearly?
Now, all of you can leave.
-Sir.... I--
-No, Benz. We are screwed.
-Yeah, you're screwed. You may leave.
-Okay, then...
So then...
we'll leave and come back later, sir.
Okay, sir.
You shouldn't have done this to me,
Kuttichan.
Well, when I took it to Kumbazha to replace
the park light, it wasn't available.
So he offered to take the vehicle,
fix it and return it in the morning.
So, I thought...
How did it go, Benz bro?
I thought... really...
What did you think?
What did you think, huh? Tell me!
Hey, hey!
You can't yell in here.
Go outside.
[Police station landline ringing]
-Sir.
-There's no point waiting here.
Sir, it's not me, but she...
-Sir...
-No way, man!
-What?
-Sir, leave...
No can do!
-Sir, my car...
-No can do!
-Sir...
-Damn his car!
-Sir...
-He won't do, brother!
Sir... Benny sir...
Please tell him, sir.
Enough, stop it, bro.
-Whatever! Just get lost!
-Sir...
[Heartrending music swells]
[Melancholic music lingers]
Oh, Benz...
how could that son of a gun do this to us?
You, I and our car...
everything is screwed!
I once had a Math teacher.
Whenever we were waiting for a free period,
he'd show up out of nowhere
with the toughest questions
no one could ever answer!
We couldn't answer and he'd make us
stand outside the class, humiliating us.
Which school did you study in for that?
Little Flower UP School, Ranni.
Is that what you're bothered about now?
My car is gone!
There, there! They're over there!
Benz! Maniyan is at his house
in Thiruvalla!
Let's go nab him, come on.
Come.
-His house is a bit further from here.
-Today is his last day!
His bike is parked over there.
But not sure if he's there.
If he's there, I'll shove weed
down his throat and set him on fire.
Weed is very expensive,
don't make such offers!
Oh, such a long walk!
Even if he's hiding in his mother's womb,
I'll drag him out.
I've heard this line before,
but with a bit more punch.
Hey, Maniyan! Come out.
[Actor Thilakans voice on television]
Oh, God!
Isn't that the film star, Thilakan?
Huh?
-What's the matter?
-Isn't this Maniyan's house?
What?
Ah, I mean...
Maniyan's, is this his house--
No one should even mention
that scoundrel's name here.
He is dead!
He is?!
Yeah, he swallowed weed
and bit the dust!
Brother, we're from Ranni.
It was this poor man's car,
your son used to smuggle cannabis.
The cops said they'll let the car go
only if we hand him over.
So... Maniyan's father,
how about doing the noble
thing and ratting him out?
Aha! So, you want me
to betray my own son!
After ruining him with booze and weed,
now you've come looking for him?
Get lost, all of you!
-Oh, wait... don't get mad.
-Don't you dare set your foot here.
Come! Whole family is on weed!
We must speak politely
to those who visit our home.
I wanted to set your workshop on fire!
Oh, this guy has made my life unbearable.
I'm fed up!
-Hi, Maniyan's mom...
-Yes?
My car, please help me!
Damn you, bloody scoundrel!
Get out of my house!
Benz, come back!
Hey, you!
Both you and your car will rot in hell!
-Do you want water?
-Hicc...
I'll get it now.
What?
It does not have a permit.
How can I release a car without permit?
We can arrange the permit, sir.
Please give him his car, sir.
I won't release that rascal's car
even if he manages to get a permit!
Hiccups?
It's because of tension.
-Bend over and drink water.
-Huh?
-Bend and have some water, it'll go away.
-You please leave.
-It hits me just right.
-Huh?
It works for me.
Try it.
Sir...
How many kilos of weed
did you find in the car?
Shouldn't I be telling the court
about the kilos, Laly?
Yes, that's enough.
Right?
Laly was just asking.
Laly may go.
Jai Hind! Lal Salaam!
What happened?
What?
-Benz...
-Be quiet.
-Sir...
-Stay there.
-Shyam sir.
-Yes?
Sir, is there any need to
make this such a big case?
It's because he got beaten up.
There was barely 500 grams.
Come closer.
Just pay him and settle it.
Go on.
Sir, I am Siyachan, a driver.
It was Idukki Gold, Pillaichan.
I'm Kuttichan.
Oh, right, Kuriachan...
Where do these guys even find it?
Why can't we ever find some?
You'll need to shell out money for the car
or it's impossible.
Shaji, come with me.
You wait.
-The pocket's about to rip, Shaji.
-Stitch it up somehow, Laly.
From what Laly gathered here,
there was only less than 500 grams
of weed in the car.
Moreover, these morons
have no right to seize the car
if its under 850 grams.
Right? Also...
He's sitting there
and scheming to screw us over.
Don't mind him.
Right?
Let us make him shell out some cash
and settle this problem.
What say?
By cash... how much do you mean?
Cash... not so much.
So...
10000 for the inspector.
Then 8000 for this chimpanzee
who seized the car.
No need for 8000, 7000 is fine.
Finally, for Laly.
And me, I came with Laly.
Not going to pay a single paisa!
If you receive a video call
from someone claiming to be
a police officer, CBI official,
or a judge, do not respond--
-Listen.
-What?
Your money in the Post Office
chit fund, right?
Yeah.
Any way to get it soon?
Benz...
Absolutely no way to get it!
I won't give you!
Anything else?
Can you give me our
daughter's chain for time being?
HEY BENZ!
What? How?!
Do you see this?
Your workshop guy did it.
Sheer luck that it wasn't my eye.
First, you bring him.
And do whatever the hell
you want with the car.
Sir, please don't be stubborn
like small kids.
I won't return it, Shaji.
Sir, we are trying to trace him.
Sir, sir... it's a poor old car.
Just come to our side.
It's Laly's word.
We can settle it outside, as required.
No chance, Laly. I already told you.
Why do you've to keep repeating it?
[Grim background score]
But sir...
YOU!
Oh, no! Where'd he come from?
What the hell are you doing?
Are you stupid?
This is a police station,
not your wife's house!
That is evidence!
What evidence, sir?
We know everything.
You wouldn't do this to rich people.
-We also need to live.
-Let it go, Benz.
I'll decide what I should or shouldn't do!
I wanna see how
you make a living with this scrap!
Well, since I am born, I will live too!
Show me how you'll live!
Don't you dare do that!
How dare you teach me, you dog?
-Benny sir!
-I take care of my car like my own family.
Even if you beg me,
don't think you can take it from here.
It'll just rot away into rust here!
You don't know who I am!
-What did I do?
-Ill drag you in as an accused too!
Let's go, Benz! We can wash it later.
Kuttichan, my car...
Come on.
Please cool down.
Get inside the car and sit.
Someone switch on the AC.
Benz! We're somehow trying
to patch things up
and you come with your washing
and spa time!
Have you any shame?
Or any sense?
-Or any talent?
-Hey, hey! Stop it.
We were trying to pay and get the car--
I'm not paying a dime to get my car.
Fine! I wont say a word!
Then it's best you forget the car.
Shut up with your nonsense!
Is this what we brought you here for?
Shut up?!
You better understand one thing...
I don't think you're ever
going to get that car back.
-What's he saying, Kuttichan!
-He'll get it.
NEVER! They'll strip the parts
and sell it for scrap! You watch!
Be quiet, Laly!
You've been spewing nonsense
for a while now!
You're gonna keep running in circles here
like a ceiling fan for this car.
[Ceiling fan whirring]
[Door shuts firmly]
How about some porridge?
You think youll get your car back
by lying some beaten-up plantain?
What!
Such a fool you are.
Who would trust that Maniyan except you?
Oh, Lord Murugan...
Did he call?
Yes, in the morning.
Did he ask about me?
He asked about the car.
What did you say?
I said it's done for.
I knew that Maniyan was trouble
the moment I saw him.
Where are you going now?
My heart feels heavy.
Oh, no! Is it an attack?
Shut up, will you!
Bloody attack, it seems!
My car...
What if they sell it for scrap?
I'm going to the station.
They should sell it.
Just think it's for the best.
You and your damn car!
[Autorickshaw engine putters]
Bro, why sport that beard
and act like a softie?
Just fold up that dhothi,
twist your moustache
and go smash their guts into pulp.
Just look at you, scared out of your mind!
The entire system is a mess!
Just keep driving, Vinu.
Then let me tell you something.
You do one thing,
go to that CI's house and
meet him in person.
And just bow down and hype him up a bit.
He's a praise-junkie!
Attention seeker.
-Really?
-He'll release the car on the spot.
The others are just duds.
Anyway, what's the point?
Kids in school get porridge and lentils,
but prisoners get chappathi and chicken.
The entire system is a mess!
Just shut up and drive!
-A monarchy would've been better than this.
-Blaming the system!
[Police jeep rumbles]
Benny sir, I finally found the files.
I'll take a look, keep it there.
Aren't you going for the wedding?
Waiting for Sir to get ready.
Shyam sir.
Can you get me that summons
with the wrong address?
Lets turn it into an order.
-Are you coming from the wedding venue?
-Yeah.
How was it?
It was great.
Very big set-up.
Aren't you going?
How can I?
I've been searching for files
since evening.
-I'll go tomorrow.
-Sir?
What's the point going tomorrow, sir?
To eat that stupid sadya?
What's it?
Shyam sir.
What do you want?
About my car...
Sir, regarding my car...
can you go and speak to Benny sir?
You just go and meet that Inspector.
-What?
-Go and meet George sir.
That's better.
George sir...
Oh, dear.
[George hums a tune]
Sir?
George sir?
Hm?
What's it?
Sir, I came to get my car released.
Which car?
The black Ambassador lying outside.
Mark 1. KL 03 L
One minute.
Hello.
What's your name?
-Eh?
-My real name is...
Shanmugham.
But people call me Benz.
Are you a thug?
Hey, no...
Will you hit?
Come sit.
Sit down.
What's this case about?
Sir...
Um... sir...
Sir, I've been caring for that car like
its my own child for the past 20 years.
Never in my wildest dreams did I think
that boy would cheat me like this.
I...
I swear on my heart, neither I nor
that car have done anything wrong.
It's the truth, sir.
Im not leaving until I get the car.
That car is my livelihood, sir.
I don't understand anything.
Which boy?
Why have they seized your car?
Who seized it?
Sir... Benny sir.
-Benny?
-Yes, that sir.
Shyam...
This hasn't been entered
into the system, has it?
There was nothing worth entering, sir.
What's this, man?
Do one thing,
you only take that car from the yard
and hand it over.
[Music surges with shock]
George sir has taken care of everything.
[Angry musical sting]
Sir, I can take it myself.
Sir, hear me out. Just a minute.
Sir, I dont let anyone else drive my car.
Sir, please listen to me.
Sir, no one else drives my car.
Sir, you need to bring it to the middle.
Yes... Sir!
Sir, slowly...
I'll take it, sir.
Benny sir, be careful.
Sir... sir...
A pothole...
Sir, slowly...
Sir, please dont take it to heart.
Sir...
Don't be angry with me.
What about Maniyan, sir?
You needn't bother whether we found him,
killed him or buried him.
Sir, my keys!
You wait there!
Sir, I cannot hand over the car.
Eh?
-You wait.
-Shyam, do as I said.
-Okay, sir,
-I'll be back.
He was putting on a cheap show
here this morning.
Ego can stay in your head...
-Right?
-Yes.
Don't try to shove it down
anyone's throat right now.
Sir, please listen to me.
Give me the keys.
Give me that key.
Sir, please!
You take your car and go, okay.
-Sir...
-Go on.
Okay, sir.
Thank George sir, man!
Thanks.
Welcome.
[Benzs phone rings]
-Lalitha, I got the car.
-Thank God!
I'm at the station now.
Hope there's no problem.
-No problem.
-Okay.
Hey Benz, son!
You may sleep.
Can you come if I hire you for a ride?
You're not busy now, right?
Sudheep, to get to Sudheesh's house,
you turn right from Erumeli and go up,
correct?
Yes, as soon as you reach the church,
you can see lights on the wall.
It's our PC's sister's wedding
near Erumeli.
Can you drive us there?
Okay.
Cars are meant to be driven, sir.
I'm a pufferfish when I'm drunk.
You need to get me home safe, alright?
Yes, sir.
Benny.
Aren't you coming?
For the wedding?
Is that sir coming too?
Of course!
[Ilaiyaraajas song plays in car]
How did you get this
ridiculous nickname, Benz?
Sir, people call me that because
of my obsession with this car.
As per my SSLC book, my name is
Shanmugham.
Are you an Ilaiyaraaja fan?
Sir, it gives us the hope to live.
What about your family, sir?
My wife passed away 5 years ago.
I have one daughter.
Mary.
-What about you.
-I have two, a son and a daughter.
Smart!
-Hey Benny!
-Hm.
Did you sleep?
-You rascal!
-No.
Let it go, Benny.
After all,
we are on our way to a good event.
-Right, Benz?
-Yes.
Attention, art lovers,
guests here for the food and to give gifts.
Park in that gap.
Our blessings to the couple, Jayshree
and Varun who are tying the knot tomorrow.
Look over there, Dad.
-Come on, Benz.
-No, sir.
I don't know anyone.
Benny, you know, right? Come on.
[Live singer performs at concert]
Get out.
On this tranquil night
Bring forth the sounds of music
Sir, my keys! I'll tell Sir about this.
Oh, bring them forth!
You've come for an uninvited wedding,
just eat and go.
Sir.
Let the flute hum sweet
Let the drums roll loud
Let the tabla beat
As the city shores sway
in a drunken trance
On this tranquil night
Bring forth the sounds of music
Oh, bring them forth!
On this tranquil night
Bring forth the sounds of music
Oh, bring them forth!
Kisses my, dear brother...
Benny, you pig!
Super, man! Super!
Beneath the skys vast silken dome
Who offers
a silver goblet of moonlight?
Amid the endless rush
Who shapes fleeting dreams into
shining gems?
Beneath the skys vast silken dome
Who offers
a silver goblet of moonlight?
Amid the endless rush
-Sir...
-What were you doing?
Let's go, sir?
You were full on dancing.
I was simply dancing with the kids.
Do that Mammooty's step.
Sir, let's leave, please, sir.
Do it!
-Sir, please tell him.
-Do it, man!
Come, whisper a song to my ears
Come, behold the empty fest
-Let's leave, sir.
-Today's my day! You shut it!
Come on, do it.
Rascal!
You go, we'll come.
Got some work to do.
On this tranquil night
Bring forth the sounds of music
Oh, bring them forth!
On this tranquil night
Bring forth the sounds of music
Oh, bring them forth!
You!
Leg!
How dare you put your foot on the car
with your shoe on?
So? It's not a temple, right?
-What?
-It's just a car, not a temple!
-Aha!
-What "aha"?
Are you looking for trouble?
If you're looking, Ill give you some.
-Huh?
-If you are, I'll give you!
Well, I'm not looking...
-Neither am I.
-Then, off you go!
How dare he put his foot up like that!
On this tranquil night
Bring forth the sounds of music
Oh, bring them forth!
On this tranquil night
Bring forth the sounds of music
Oh, bring them forth!
Hey, you!
Wake up!
Let's go?
I was tired.
-My keys?
-I'll give them to you. Come.
Dineshaaa, my son!
Let's go?
Walk!
Come on!
It's itching...
Same here!
Come on, son!
-Shall we go?
-Yeah.
-The keys.
-We're not going to Ranni.
Then?
Sudheesh's cousin has a farm.
We need to go there.
Got some things to do over there.
What was the name of the place?
Purakkayam near Panchalimedu.
-Ah, Purakkayam.
-But sir...
that's really far.
It's close to Erumeli.
It's close by, man.
I've a school ride tomorrow, sir.
This is also a ride, man.
We'll be back tomorrow morning.
-Right?
-Yes.
Go and wash your face.
Hey!
Dont go around saying
you drank arrack with police officers.
I'm retiring next week.
The juniors will have a field day with me.
He won't tell anyone, sir.
But you're not the one retiring.
I am, right?
No one bothers to help the bride's father!
Everyone only cares about themselves.
Worried about the wedding, eh?
So what if I am?
Come soon, you fool!
Come running, oh dear!
Come jumping, oh duffer!
-Come on.
-Coming.
Jump right in, Sudheesh!
Yes, sir.
Get in, Benz.
-Let's have some arrack!
-Listen...
-You can keep the stuff in the boot.
-And what? We sit in the boot and drink?
Just shut up, you colossal idiot!
Cha thum... cha thum... cha thum...
Cha thum... cha thum... cha thum...
Sir, it's jum tha jum...
Jum tha jum...
Jum tha jum...
Jum tha jum...
[Jubilant music rises]
Listening to his songs
makes you feel like
life's worth living, doesn't it?
[Ilaiyaraajas melody in car]
Sir, we had a master,
a stunt choreographer named Palani Swamy.
He used to always say,
"Before shooting a good fight scene,
listening to an Ilaiyaraaja song
is like a dose of hope."
Really, who are you, man?
I'm just an ordinary guy
from Pathanamthitta, sir.
-Really?
-My dad was from Kambam
and my mum was from Pathanamthitta.
After they passed away,
I ended up drifting into the film world.
Went to Madras,
joined this Palani Master,
and became a fighter under him.
A fighter? You?
In which movie?
I've acted in
about fifty or sixty films, sir.
Really?
Then what are you doing
parading around in this car now?
Well, sir, there was this huge accident
during a Tamil movie action shoot.
And...
Anbu, who was like
a brother to us, our teammate...
he died trying to save my life.
It became a big problem,
court case and all.
The union got involved,
and Master couldn't get work anymore.
They disbanded the team
and I ended up coming back here.
And Master gave me this car
for my livelihood.
That's why it means a lot to me,
it's full of memories.
So, it's one big tragedy, huh?
Let it go. Condolences!
Sir,
-how about a small peg, eh?
-Leave it, man!
Someone tells you a sob story,
and you focus on drinks?
What a pain you are, man!
[Water cascades powerfully]
Hey...
-Does your car always heat up like this?
-No.
Hasn't this thing cooled down yet?
From now on, if it happens again,
just ask for help from this loser.
He's an auto-mobile engineer
who turned cop,
thanks to a stroke of bad luck.
Right, bro?
-He started under me in service.
-Sir.
Smart fellow.
-Sir, shall we go?
-Oh, absolutely.
Let's go!
-I'm ready!
-Eh?!
-I'm ready, ready.
-Hey...
-Benny sir...
-From here on, I'll be driving the car.
Benny sir, step out.
No one else drives my car but me.
Oh, really? Wasn't it your own gang
that smuggled cannabis in this car?
See, George sir,
Benny sir is stirring up issues again.
What's the matter with you, rascal?
Whats got you squirming?
Got an itch I cant scratch, sir.
And the only way to fix it
is to drive this car.
A spin in this car will fix it?
-Yeah.
-But sir...
Sudheesh, go with him.
-Sir, no way.
-He's pestering because he got attacked.
I won't allow.
Don't stress me out, man.
Nobody else can drive my car.
The gears need a certain knack, sir.
Hey! Hey!
-Hand over the keys!
-Step out, sir.
Better hand over the keys!
Or I'll douse your crappy car in petrol
and set it on fire!
Please get out, Benny sir.
What's happening there?
Must be some festival on the hill, sir.
-No, Benny sir...
-Aha!
George sir,
-Yeah....
-George sir, please tell him...
Benz...
start the car.
Well ask as we drive along.
Sir, please dont take it to heart.
All okay now?
Thanks, George sir.
O serpent that strangled
the forest breath
[Tribal drums pulse]
Beware,
an elephant stands guard in these wilds
[Car roars past]
Hey, does my face look less swollen now?
Hard to say,
your face always looks like that.
Hey, driver!
Come on, have a small peg.
It'll warm you right up.
I don't drink while I'm driving, sir.
Also, I usually don't allow anyone
to drink inside my car.
Oh great, so from now on,
this legacy will continue!
All the best!
Let's turn this car into a bar on wheels.
Stop being such a pest, man!
Sudheesh...
Isn't it left here?
Whoa!
He's asking if we should take
the left turn!
If we take this route,
can we catch that festival?
I don't know, sir.
In that case, turn the car left.
First, we'll check out the festival
and then we'll go for drinks.
Sir, this route is risky.
The car wont make it through.
The car will be just fine! Turn!
Sudheesh knows this forest
like the back of his hand.
Right?
Come on, Benz!
Sir... sir... this...
Just get going, bloody driver!
Easy! Get going, Benz.
Drive, man!
After all, it's all make-believe, son!
[Tires screech briefly]
[Car skids violently]
Enough with the slow motion,
step on it, driver!
Scratched!
Sir, this isnt a Jeep
you can just step on and go!
It's an Ambassador car.
Then steer carefully
and scrape your way through it!
Sudheesh,
two more kilometres from here, right?
No idea.
Then why do you walk around
with such a big moustache?
Sir, but you...
Waste!
Sir, do you really want to sit
in this forest at midnight and drink?
Whether we drink or not,
that's for us to decide.
You drive the car, moron!
Don't talk rubbish!
Man, even Innova cars easily
move through this route.
We've travelled this way plenty of times!
[Distant tribal chanting]
Sudheesh, call your cousin and check
if the plantation path
leads to the festival.
[River water gushing]
Whoa!
Amusement park! Water ride!
Get going, get going!
Sir...
How are we supposed to cross this stream?
With four wheels, just go!
-Sir, the car won't go through!
-It will.
Just drive.
Wow, nice!
Water will get inside the car.
Driver, drive through the water
with a splash! Spray it like a fountain!
Come on!
[Car plows through water]
Floor it, driver! Let the car fly!
Keep going.
[Car engine revs]
Move forward.
Sir, you'll have to walk now.
This car can't go any further.
Walk? How's that fair?
Didn't we hire a taxi to get there?
It's just three or four kilometres more.
Four kilometres?!
Didn't you say two earlier?
Sir, this isn't right.
If water enters the silencer,
the engine's done for.
This cars never even been through a flood.
I can't do it.
-What happened?
-If you need, hire a Jeep.
If you're walking, I'll also walk with you.
What nonsense!
Now, you'll stop the car only where I say.
Sir, if you're about to cause a scene,
I can do that too.
So can I!
My patience has its limits!
This isn't working.
You've been acting like you own the car!
Who are you trying to scare?
The cops?
George Sir,
you understand what I say, right?
[George chuckles]
Listen Benz,
isn't Sudheesh's sister's wedding tomorrow?
You've met his family, haven't you?
The father, mother, aunt...
such simple people.
Huh?
It was only after he got this job
that the family finally had some stability.
So imagine how important
this wedding is to them.
Right, Sudheesh?
Ever since we arrived,
Sudheesh's phone has been buzzing non-stop.
While boozing, he told me about it.
Apparently, the girl
had a boyfriend.
A relationship since her college days.
Now,
that the wedding is near,
he just barged into their house
and started threatening
saying he'll sabotage the wedding.
While we, men of honour,
are still sound and alive,
he dares flaunts his bloody arrogance!
We were talking to him and
managed to take him to the rubber shed.
[Subtle tension in music]
But the boy's a bit too clever.
He has...
some footage of the girl
in a compromising position.
I was just talking to him
the usual police way.
But during the conversation,
Sudheesh's father lost his temper
and committed a mistake.
[Suspenseful score builds]
When Sudheesh pleaded with us
to save his father,
what could we do?
Shouldn't a cop stand by another cop?
Huh?
I thought of handling this
without informing you...
but you'll find out anyway.
This car...
will tell you.
[Eerie silence falls]
All we need is for you to stand with us.
Just turn a blind eye.
Huh?
In the boot of this car
is that son of a gun's body.
[Music crescendos]
HEY! What the hell did you just say?
[Benz sobs in pain]
Let me finish.
Just a help!
-Hey! You driver!
-Benny, don't let him go.
I can return this car to the station
just as I took it.
Move away.
Bloody dog!
Come here, you.
Let go of me!
-Come here.
Let go of me, Benny sir!
If you resist,
there will be one more body
buried in the forest today.
This isnt new for us,
were veterans in this game.
We will kill you too.
Benny...
start the car.
The silent grey herd stands still
The scorched earth burns beneath me
My springs have dried, I mourn
Above my fading curves
Night blankets me in fear
[Car halts abruptly]
Sudheesh, get out.
[Car boot clicks open]
Hey, Sudheesh!
Son, come on, step out.
Hold it.
[Boot slams shut]
Keep it steady!
Don't get blood on your hands.
[Scuffling; objects dragged]
[Menacing music builds]
Oh!
[Mini truck approaches]
[Truck brakes]
WHO'S THAT?!
Whos that along the forest path?
[Truck lurches forward]
Bloody pain in the neck,
move the car, you loser.
[Truck jolts over rough terrain]
[Ominous music plays]
Who's there?
What are you doing inside the car
in the middle of the forest, huh?
Why are you hiding?
What are you up to?
[Tribal drums echo faintly]
'THUDARUM'
(To be continued)
[Dreadful music plays]
[Unsettling silence lingers]
[Dog barks sharply]
[Dog barks incessantly]
[Nervous music builds]
[Car creeps forward]
What's up with him? Why so quiet?
[Dog's frantic barking continues]
Shush!
What happened to the car?
Where were you last night?
Got hired for a last-minute ride.
Cant you at least call,
even if it was last-minute?
My head is splitting.
Give me a strong cup of tea.
If you keep piling unnecessary
things on your head,
its bound to split!
No wonder!
[Uncertain music lingers]
Benz! Good morning!
Are you unwell?
Are you sick?
Do you've fever?
No, you don't.
Listen...
Can you give me 500 rupees?
For school.
Youre unusually loaded today!
I took it, okay.
Thanks.
Mom!
[Music persists]
[Dog keeps barking]
Mom, did Benz say anything?
Mom!
What?
Did he say anything?
Say what?
Exactly! He's not saying anything.
Looks like hes gone nuts.
He has.
The moment he gets that car,
hell go completely nuts!
[Dog whimpers]
[Dog resumes barking]
Go!
[Enigmatic music plays]
Do you want some medicine?
[Car door slams]
-Do you want any medicine?
-No... I don't.
Ugh! What's wrong with this dog?
Just shut up, you!
First time seeing Benz?
What's wrong with him?
Listen, where are you going?
-That too with the tea?
-Huh...
Oh, dear! Look at your eyes.
Go and take a shower.
Don't go anywhere now.
Go and sleep for bit.
Why are you exhausting yourself like this?
[Suspenseful score intensifies]
[Shower water cascades]
[Music conveys agony and terror]
[Benz weeps uncontrollably]
[Phone vibrates silently]
Uncle, why is there
a foul smell in this car?
-Foul smell?
-Yeah.
No, there's no foul smell.
Can we open the window, Uncle?
[Phone continues ringing]
It's really stinking.
[Music persists]
[Liquid sprays]
[Drilling noise echoes]
We've been chasing you for a while now.
O dark one, lord of venom
You, the shadow-cloaked serpent
Imagine if people found out
the CCTV at a police station isnt working!
Anyway, for our kinda work,
it's better if the CCTV stays off.
Sir...
-Don't you have court duty today?
-Shaji has gone, sir.
Are you drilling right into our chests?
Sir, we're almost done drilling.
Give it here, man.
Sipping tea and just chilling, aren't you!
Sir...
Hello.
Sit down.
Come on, sit.
Did you sleep well?
Hm?
Ive been sneezing.
Probably because it was chilly last night.
It'll go away.
You should answer your phone, no?
Huh?
Do you've pressure or sugar problems?
No...
-Huh?
-No.
For the past 36 years,
Ive been popping pills.
Why arent you picking up our calls?
-Huh?
-Sir, I didn't hear it.
-What?
-Didn't hear it.
Did you seriously not hear it?
Or have you decided to pretend
not to hear it?
I'm the CI of Ranni Perunad
and yet you don't...
respect me?
After all,
you did take money from policemen.
-Sir?
-Yes.
Benny, close that glass.
Why is he so reluctant
to answer his phone, sir?
Hm?
What reluctance? Nothing like that.
He's one of us now.
Right?
Sir...
Sir, please let me go my way.
Theres no your way or my way!
Theres only our way!
But if a third person
barges into our way without our permission,
you know how we are, right?
Benny.
We'll burn you to the ground!
You and your family!
Got it?
Get going, Benz.
That wasn't a threat.
It's our decision.
[Music instills fear]
Take your car and get lost!
Come soon.
Sir, we're from Thiruvalla.
What about Maniyan, sir?
You needn't bother whether we found him,
killed him or buried him.
[Music shrouded in mystery]
Come on, he's our son...
why are you being so difficult with him?
How many times did I call you?
When you go on these rides,
I need to know where you are,
if youve eaten, only then will
the kids and I will be happy, right?
We dont matter to you at all!
All I need is for you and him
to talk on the phone and sort things out.
Cant I hope for that?
Just mind your own business, Lalitha.
Only you need happiness and hopes?
We deserve happiness too, Benz.
You don't want your wife and kids?
You're actually mental!
Yes! I am mental! Completely crazy!
Why don't you get me treated?
No peace of mind!
Am I supposed to live here,
always scared of you?
[Melancholic music plays]
You also...
please don't start...
Why are you getting angry?
What happened to you?
If there's something,
you can just tell me, right?
Nothing. You go to bed.
This morning, you washed your own shirt.
Why did you do that?
Did it get stained with blood, Benz?
Blood? What blood?
Some stain... I tried a lot to get it off.
Could be some stain.
Mom...
You needn't bother whether we found him,
killed him or buried him.
[Music embodies suffering]
We'll burn you to the ground!
You and your family.
You know how we are, right?
This morning, you washed your own shirt.
Why did you do that?
Did it get stained with blood?
Even though blood was spilled,
the wedding happened, right?
Isolated rains continue
across the state today.
Yellow alert issued in ten districts.
Rain warning issued from Pathanamthitta
to Idukki and from Malappuram to Kasaragod.
Pavi... Pavi Shanmugham.
Look here. They write
something on the register
and just take off.
Pavi? He said there was a hospital
emergency and left from here.
Hey, the new-gen kids arent like us.
You need to understand that first.
And if hes gone somewhere,
hell be back in a couple of days.
If we still cant reach him tomorrow,
well file a complaint at the station.
Kids these days
are taking all kinds of stuff.
What was it?
They call it star, speed and all that.
They take all sorts of junk, get high
and end up unconscious somewhere.
After three or four days,
they sober up and return home.
This is a regular thing.
We've seen this happen
on a regular basis, Benz.
-Right?
-Exactly.
Benz...
Dont walk around
getting drenched in the rain.
Just go home.
Do one thing,
go meet Shyam and file a complaint.
Look, when we needed help,
you stood by us, right?
Now, as you are in need of help,
the police will stand by you.
My son...
What's your son's name?
Pavi...
Idukki Mar Sleeva Engineering College...
He's a fourth-year
Computer Science student.
On 23rd May, 2024,
he left the college hostel on his own bike,
a Pulsar.
Red colour.
[Puzzling musical motif]
Arent you leaving?
Sir, that bike looks like my son's.
This bike has been lying in the yard
for two or three months now.
If we get any info,
we'll let you know, Benz.
You can go now.
Go on!
[Car advances slowly]
[Thunderclap booms]
[Agonized sobbing]
Why do you keep getting soaked
in the rain like this?
All this trouble for whom?
Oho...
Did you go the hostel to see him?
Benz?
Listen, Benz!
I'll come with you tomorrow.
We'll go together
and see him at the hostel.
No more arguments and fights
in this house, okay?
Benz, everyone has...
left me standing alone in the rain.
Why does the rain hate us so much?
Dear...
Pavi...
Benz...
Benz...
Come and get me...
Like that day...
Didn't I say we need to
handle his case very carefully?
Sir.
How about I move that bike from the yard?
Looks like the snake
has swallowed the saint.
Huh?
[Suspenseful music]
Sudheesh!
Sudheesh! Son!
Someones here asking for you.
-What's it, Dad?
-Someone's outside to see you.
Who?
Don't know.
Who would come at this hour?
[Torrential rain pours]
[Triumphant music swells]
What are you doing here at this hour, Benz?
That too in the rain.
At least you must tell me the truth, sir.
Who did you all kill?
[Thunder and rain mingle]
I don't know anything.
Ask the sirs who called you.
Tell me the truth.
Who did you all kill?
You...
Stop talking nonsense.
Leave my house right now.
Get going soon!
[Explosion reverberates]
[Landslide rumbles]
[Floodwaters and debris crash]
A massive landslide has struck
the Mundakayam, Purakkayam region
at early morning today
leaving many dead and several gone missing.
Rescue operations are in full swing
led by the police, Fire Force and locals.
According to the latest reports,
the disaster struck around 1 AM,
leaving several dead.
Sir, watch the hand.
-Careful with the leg.
-Pull me up.
Sir! Sir, inside the jeep...
Sir, look...
The latest breaking news is that
Fire Force personnel involved
in rescue efforts
have found a decomposed body
tied up in a sack,
amid the devastation sweeping the state.
There are unconfirmed reports
suggesting the body belongs to a man
aged between 18 and 23
and is approximately 4 days old.
[Jeep accelerates urgently]
Continuous heavy rain
and the risk of further landslides
are posing major challenges
to the rescue operations.
Sir.
Didn't you say if we bury it there,
it won't ever come up.
My hands and legs are shivering, sir.
We only have time
until the post-mortem is over
and they cross-check it
with registered missing cases.
We'll need to skip town.
Skip town?
Where to?
Where are Suma and the kids?
Back at hometown.
-That's good.
-Huh...
Where the hell is this Sudheesh?
Give it here.
But...
I'm not getting him on the phone.
The death toll in the Mundakkayam
Purakkayam landslide has surpassed 20.
[Music laced with doubt]
Harish, the post-mortem has begun.
You go there.
Yes, sir.
-What happened?
-Just started.
It's a bit old, sir.
Will be a task.
Sir, Maniyan had come.
I didn't let him come inside.
The police have now informed the media
that the postmortem has been completed.
The police have intensified their
investigation following the discovery
of remnants of a uniform found
with the decomposed body in the sack.
Sudheeshs dad says someone came
to their house last night
and took him away.
From what he said,
Im certain that it's Benz.
-Whats the deal between Benz and Sudheesh?
-What heavy rain this is, sir.
What nonsense, man?
Just get lost!
Damn his rain!
What's this fishy deal between them?
And where the hell have they gone,
switching off their phone?
Does no one at home
know their sons missing?
Well... hes always been
a bit of a loose cannon.
His mum and sister thinks
he's at the hostel.
Also that oldie, the workshop owner,
he doesnt seem to know a thing either.
What the hell is he doing!
Oh, come on, sir,
open your mouth and say something!
Dont just stand there swinging this!
I need a bit more time, Benny.
What time...
George sir...
Sir, theres a call
from Vandiperiyar station.
Its confirmed. The postmortems done.
Its leading back to the missing
guy's case from our station.
Shyam, a body has
surfaced at Vandiperiyar.
We are finished!
Sir...
If anything goes south, Ill just vanish!
How long can we vanish?
Well have to resurface sooner or later.
Huh? We?!
Eh?
[Dog barks]
Shut up.
Where's Benz?
Couldn't reach him on phone.
What's the matter, sir?
Is she Benz's daughter?
Yeah.
Hello.
Where's your mom, dear?
Hello, I am George sir.
I'm the Inspector of this area.
I happen to know Benz.
Benz's phone is not reachable, sir.
Probably stuck somewhere in this rain.
But how longs he gonna stay stuck
in the rain like that?
Brother, come with me.
-What's the issue?
-Brother...
Come, brother.
Go inside, dear.
Come, let's talk.
-Sir...
-Sister...
Is this Benzs mill?
Kuttichan...
Shaji...
No, that one is Lalitha's.
Pavithram Flour Mill.
Yeah, yeah.
What's the matter, sir?
-Brother...
-Kuttichan!
How's Benz relationship with the boy?
Got any issues?
Why, is there a problem, sir?
A landslide at Purakkayam
unearthed a dead body.
Looks like its been there
a couple of days.
Dead body?
The cops say its the boy
who went missing from here.
Oh, God! Sir...
The post-mortem is done.
Now someone from the family
will need to come and identify the body.
Let me go and look for Benz.
He's got plenty to hide!
We dont know
whos right or wrong in all this, do we?
Alright, then.
-Oh, holy Mother!
-Kuttichan...
What happened? Tell me!
Kuttichan...
Sir, what's the matter?
Kuttichan...
-I dont know anything, Shaji.
-Just tell me...
Oh, no!
Theyre asking if theres any issue
between Benz and him.
Oh, no!
[Thunder rolls]
[Metallic clang rings out]
-Hey, manager... Switch on that generator.
Just shut up!
Switch on the generator!
What the hell are you doing?
[Eerie background score builds]
Your sirs are probably soaking wet
and exhausted by now.
Where...
where's my son?
[Choked sobs, words fail]
Tell me hes okay!
Before this rain stops,
I want to take my son back to his mother.
Tell me!
Come on, tell me!
I dont know anything. I swear!
They dragged me along
saying I know the forest routes very well.
I only found out about the body
once we got in the car, just like you.
After that,
they started spinning stories,
involving my dad and sister.
I dont even know whose body it is.
I swear, just believe me.
-Sir, my keys!
-You wait there!
Sir, I cannot hand over the car.
Sir, please listen to me.
It's not possible to hand it over, sir.
Your habit of acting over smart
in front of people
is bad for you.
Inside the car, the bloody, damn it!
Hey Benz, son!
[Struggling to form words]
[Terrified weeping]
I...
I...
I trusted you all once.
And what did you make me do?
What did you do...
[Sudheesh breaks down]
Kambam isn't that far, George, sir.
-Where's my son?
-Benz, listen to me patiently--
What have you...
done to him?
Listen to me.
Your son is safe.
Listen Benz, Ive been to your house.
Ive seen your wife and daughter.
Your son is safe, Benz.
Just listen to me!
Now I'll tell you...
and you'll listen!
Dont act crazy. Just hear me out!
[Triumphant theme swells]
[Victorious music plays]
[Enigmatic melody lingers]
Sir, where are you?
Its chaos here,
people are making a racket.
My hands are shaking, Im terrified!
If you dont do what I say,
his next victim...
will be you!
You better be careful not to trip and fall,
until death.
Sir... sir!
Hes playing games
after dragging me into all this!
Move away, you!
Just clear off.
Sir, everything has a limit.
Well break this lock if we have to!
The forest knows
The sea knows
He surged ahead
Veered right
Each step, firm
Each strike, thunder
Eyes locked
Vengeance burned
Ive been in service for 36 years, Benz.
Over the years,
Ive done plenty of bad things,
some known, some unknown.
But I dont regret a single one of them.
In two days,
Ill retire from the department
with a DySP medal
and this George Sir will still be
the same old George Sir!
Who are you trying to scare, eh?
Me?
If George sir has come here to see you
and if George sir is standing
right here in front of you,
then let me tell you...
youve got a lot more to learn about me!
-HEY!
- MOM!
Shut your trap!
Where's my son, sir?
Just spill the truth!
No point in shedding
your crocodile tears here.
Sir...
Why did you kill him?
How did you kill him? Tell me!
How can you say something so sinful,
you scoundrel?
Did you do it alone?
Benny sir, no!
Well talk and youll listen!
Hear me, you bloody!
Don't hurt the child, sir!
Take that woman away!
Police make a breakthrough
in the Ranni Pavi murder case.
Pavis mother, Lalitha,
is now in police custody.
That day,
when you told us your sob story...
About how someone died
and you left Madras
and your film dreams behind...
And that beat-up car
the old geezer gifted you...
You conveniently left out the rest.
You and your wife are still hiding
a truckload of skeletons, arent you?
You pushed your friend off the rope
and killed him, didnt you?
Or was it his wife's idea?
I mean... Lalitha!
Were you keeping her then?
You didnt want to carry
the burden of someone elses child!
Thats your reason to kill that boy!
YOU!
How dare you say that!
Why are you doing this to me?
The sack containing the body
was the turning point in this case.
The faded lettering on the sack...
-What was it called?
-Pavithram Mills, sir.
...with the name, Pavithram Mills
led the case--
Sir, isn't the police cooking this up?
HEY!
Let me complete.
Please don't interrupt. Listen, please.
That's what led the case to be transferred
from Vandiperiyar Station
to Ranni Perunad Station.
Thats where the investigation
into the family began.
Moreover, the deceased boy
was the son of Lalitha
from her first marriage.
-Dont say rubbish, sir!
-Let me complete this!
-Don't say lies!
-Let me talk!
On the day the police believe
the incident occurred,
a driver from the estate reported
seeing Shanmugham and his car
near Purakkayam.
Im like this with everyone, Benz!
This is the trap I laid for you!
Lalitha, the prime suspect in the Pavi
murder case, has given her statement.
The investigation
is leading to the step-father, Shanmugham.
This erotic story I just cooked up,
that's all Malayalis would need.
First, they will celebrate you,
then, ruin you...
and eventually, will forget you!
From now on, I'll give you orders
and you will follow.
When the girl ripened, your brother
was grabbing you under the sheets, huh?
At first, you enjoyed it, didnt you?
Did the guilt hit you later?
Did you think you'd have to give birth
to your brother's child?
Well, how can we blame the kids alone?
What blood relation?
It's bloody incest!
Just confess that your father
killed your brother!
You bloody!
You killed the boy because he molested her.
That's the story I'm going to spin.
And if you don't come along,
I'll make sure I hand over your daughter
to all the losers in this world,
to keep them busy every night!
Sudheesh, hold him!
Hey!
[Pulsing suspenseful score]
Calm down, you!
If you want your son,
who is rotting in the morgue,
come with us.
I'll at least let you light his pyre!
[Rain patters steadily]
Sir... sir...
Since last night...
Hey, no! Please don't click any photos.
Give some privacy to the suspect!
Sir, theres a report saying
he hasnt confessed yet.
Do you think wed arrest someone
without confession? No!
Why are you harassing
his wife and daughter, sir?
What, dear?
Why is the police harassing
his wife and daughter?
Did they harass?
The accused will be presented
in court tomorrow morning.
Cover his face and bring him out.
[Heartbreaking melody]
Remove that cloth from his face
and make him sit
in front of his wife and daughter!
Let them also see.
Come on, walk.
Walk.
Sit there.
I said sit there!
Come on.
Hey...
Tell me, how did you kill that boy?
Hey you, scoundrel!
How did you kill that boy?
Did you hit him on his head?
Or choke him?
How could you do this?
Oh, yeah! He's not your son, after all.
Your wife and daughter
have already confessed to everything.
Now, if you also admit it,
we can wrap this up.
Just confess.
Come on, do it! Okay?
Sir...
Sir!
Hey, son!
Most likely you'll lose your job!
Huh?
Harassing women and kids like this...
Are you kidding?
You asked me to bring in the media
and spread all those baseless stories
about the mother and daughter!
Ill say all sorts of things, you pig.
And look who got screwed!
A stepfather
who tried to protect his daughter
from her abusive stepbrother.
He struck the boy on the head
and killed him.
Stuffed the body in a sack
and left it in the forest to be eaten.
Just like that proverb,
if you sin by killing,
you can atone by eating.
Well,
we killed...
and he paid the price!
Sir...
Hello.
Benz and we are no different, sir.
Today its him.
Tomorrow, it will be us!
I know.
But Ive gotten used to being a lapdog.
Bloody son of a gun!
Come with me, dear.
[Fury-filled composition]
This kind of fraud
wont hold up in court, George Sir!
It's our court, after all!
Lets see!
Hello.
Shanmugham, the accused
in the Ranni Pavi murder case
and Pavis stepfather,
is now in police custody.
A team led by Inspector George Mathan
of Ranni Perunad Station
arrested him
from a private lodge in Kambam.
Investigations began when Shanmugham
filed a missing person report
for his son, which raised suspicions.
This led the police
to Pavis mother, Lalitha
and subsequently to Shanmugham.
Unconfirmed reports suggest
Pavi had repeatedly abused his stepsister
and that there was
an illicit relationship between the two
that led to the murder.
The suspect is reported to have
allegedly confessed to the crime.
Hey, what's that wound on your face?
Did the cops beat you?
Hey, you... SI, what's on his face?
Sir, its a wound from when
the suspect was caught from Kambam.
The police didnt do it.
Weve got the medical report, sir.
Oh!
Is all this true?
The suspect is being handed over
to the Ranni Perunad Police
for five days for further investigation
and evidence collection.
-Listen...
-Sir.
Bring him back exactly how you took him,
not a scratch.
Sir.
Understood?
-Yes, sir.
-Okay, next.
Step down and walk.
[Cryptic musical tones]
This is my story.
The hero of this tale
is the one and only George Sir!
By the end of this story,
you wont even exist
for anyone to remember!
[Applause erupts]
After 36 years of official service,
George Sir retires today,
or as I call it, the end of me!
But even in my end,
I am proud.
No applause?
Where's the applause?
[Audience claps]
Pride in standing by the common man,
supporting him, shielding him.
Everyone says George Sir
is a true gentleman.
But what is being a "gentleman"?
Who is this so-called "gentleman"?
Is he the man who locks himself
in the bathroom of an empty house
to bathe alone?
No!
Isnt being a gentleman about what you do
in that bathroom?
In that case,
George Sir can bathe anywhere,
locked doors or otherwise!
[Nail-biting soundtrack]
Heres George Sirs retirement party meal.
He send this for you.
In this hapless State,
even hitting your own mother
sparks debates, with people taking sides.
It'll all boomerang back
and land squarely on us!
We will be screwed!
Tonight, five or six cops
from Kottayam camp will enter our station.
You need to be here,
but not in uniform.
Sir.
What the hell from Kottayam camp now?
Enough of your rubbish!
Youll retire comfortably
as a DySP with your pension.
Im not some fool.
All the blame will end up on my head!
Think for a second...
how long will you survive
wagging your tail like this?
Dont you want a few stars
on your shoulders too?
Youre the next Inspector!
The SP called.
He wants patrols all night
across the town tonight.
-Anoop....
-Tell me, sir.
Take the CI's jeep.
-Go.
-Sir?
You may go.
Sir.
You may go home.
Sudheesh, drop her home.
I will call you later.
[Land phone rings]
Give me the keys.
Why?
Just give it.
[Orchestral music swells]
Whats wrong with you, Benz?
Dont you feel hunger or thirst?
Your time is running out, man!
Bloody dog!
Youre just a lone tusker
who fell into our trap.
I know exactly
what drives
your hunger and thirst.
Before you meet your end,
let me tell you what happened to your son.
Benz!
We laid a great trap
for that baby elephant
you proudly claimed
as your own to the world.
Do you know
what this George sir is capable of?
When someone walks right
into the deadly trap we set for him,
we must kill!
And we killed him.
When the king of the jungle devoured him,
the entire forest stood by in silence.
The playground isnt in your favour, Benz.
We hunted him down
and the king made you feast on
what we killed!
Now, if any lone tusker
comes forward for that little one,
we will kill again.
Thats the law of this jungle!
[Epic hero's theme]
Muruga, my lord!
[Scuffle sounds intensify]
A spark was slain
Now feel the fury of the flame
Storming through the jungle
O tusker, wild and free
Ready for the hunt
Will you be?
Forged in the fight
O tusker, fearless and free
Ready for the hunt
Willyoube?
Sir, will they bring this place down?
Eh?
Are they gonna tear down the building?
Whats with all the noise!
They need to hang
a healthy man to death, after all.
Theres bound to be some noise.
The accused has confessed to the crime,
DySP George Mathan informed the media--
Benny sir!
Sir!
[Heroic theme peaks]
-Get down here.
-What happened, sir?
Hey, drop her at the bus stand.
[Continued combat noises]
Why did you...
My son...
Why...
Sir!
SIR!
Benny, sir!
Open up!
What are you doing, Benz?
Step away, Benz!
Don't do this, Benz.
Just listen to me once.
Go tell your lot...
the lone tusker has returned to the forest!
Storming through the jungle
O tusker, wild and free
Benz!
[Inspirational score soars]
Don't do it...
Please...
Forged in the fight
O tusker, fearless and free
Benz...
Sir!
Sir...
Benz!
SIR!
SIR!
[Grief-laden strings play]
[Trunk slams shut]
[Theme of valor continues]
[Siren wails]
Check the footage from Konni area.
Sir, a call from the control room.
Come, come!
Sir, none of this happened
with my knowledge.
Just give me a little more time, sir.
Sir, the entire area beyond the bridge
is covered by police.
That vehicle hasnt crossed.
He slipped right under your nose,
you dunces!
Sir, we couldn't reach Benny sir.
His phone is switched off.
-If he steps out of Ranni...
-No, sir.
I'm warning you, losers!
Where's Benz?
-What's the matter?
-Benz...
Will tell you.
Move aside, now.
Benz...
-What's it, sir?
-Where's Benz?
Why are you here at this odd time, sir?
-Clear off, you!
-HEY! WHAT THE HELL!
-What the hell are you doing?
-Deepak...
Keep everyone outside
except the mother and daughter.
Sir, why are you torturing
this innocent family?
Sir, you can't do this!
-Let go of me!
-Leave me!
-Don't harm them, sir.
-Why are you pushing us away?
Sir, no!
-Open the door!
-Sir, open the door.
Mom... Mom...
Where's he?
Tell me, where's Benz?
So, you won't tell me.
Do you think Ill just stand by and watch
if he lays a hand on me or my officers?
Move away!
I said move away!
Let us in, sir.
Sir, no!
Where's Benz?
Wanna trick me?!
No way in hell!
Dear, run away from here.
Shut the hell up.
Shut your trap!
Tell me.
Open your bloody mouth and tell me.
Sir... Sir...
Spill it!
Where's your father?
Tell me!
I said, tell me!
Let go of her, you devil!
You bloody... stay still!
He will come!
I will bring him here.
You don't know what cops are capable of!
Let go of her.
If I lay a single finger on you,
hell crawl out of any hole to get here!
-I'm sure of that.
-He'll come.
Mom!
He will come!
He'll definitely come!
[Chivalrous music returns]
[George's phone buzzes]
[Girl's anguished cries]
Benny.
Where's he?
George, did you go hunting for me
without securing the forest?
Benz, surrender peacefully.
Youre surrounded by the police.
You dared to mess with the police.
We wont spare you!
But it's the police
who messed with me, right?
[Gallant theme persists]
Let me start...
from where you began this game.
Youve got someone too,
whose pain will hurt you bad.
Benz, don't harm my daughter.
Stop this nonsense,
Im warning you.
Hello.
[High-tension composition]
Dear...
Mary...
Hey!
Mary...
Dear...
Mary!
Dear...
Mary...
Dear!
Mary...
Dear...
[Storm rages outside]
Hey!
Benny...
BENNY!
Benny!
Benny!
[Defiant musical climax]
I walk on
Benz... my...
Where's my daughter?
Benz...
You!
Where's my daughter?
Your grudge is only against me, right?
Where's my daughter?
I've sent your daughter to...
where my son went.
Why?
You...
[Physical struggle sounds]
My dear...
Mary!
Where's she?
I killed her.
Bloody dog!
The tempest
Quivers
I walk on
Wounded by the fall
Where's my child, Benz...
Where's she?
[George moans in agony and pain]
Where's she...
Benz...
I'll pull you out of this case.
Just give me one more day.
Benz...
Don't kill me...
Please spare my daughter...
[Labored breathing]
[Pavi fights for air]
[Despondent orchestration]
Mary...
Having someone on the other side
is no small thing,
whether to listen
or to speak with us.
On that rainy day,
when my dad was brought home
after an accident during a fight,
I was just four years old.
It was a numb feeling
for my mom and me.
That day, the rain...
never stopped...
My mom and I were completely drenched.
In that rain,
it was Benz who became our umbrella.
Like a father.
No...
As my father...
Benz...
is like an ocean.
A deep sea
filled with goodness.
You'll be happy with us, Mary.
Shall I tell
my mom and my Benz about us?
Mary!
Hey! Open the door!
Pappa, sorry!
Please forgive me this one time!
I'm your damn father!
You better open the door!
-Whose phone is this?
-Pappa, please...
-Sorry!
-Who the hell is he?
-So you won't say, huh!
-Pappa, please don't!
Please... just this one time!
Pappa, please don't...
HEY!
Pappa, I swear! I don't know anything.
[Phone smashing sounds]
-Please don't hurt me, Pappa.
-You bloody...
If I brought you into this world,
I can damn well send you out of it.
Do you know
the reputation of this family?
Do you even know
what your father is capable of?
What is the matter, sir?
I need to go home.
You dare tarnish the reputation
of a policeman's family!
Do you even know who this George sir is?
Do you know the prestige of my family?
I know what sort of a man you are!
What the hell do you know?
Want me to make her spill
everything you did to her?
What you did to her mother--
Hey...
Sir!
Whos on duty right now?
Shyam and the guard.
All the others have gone
for Sudheesh's sister's wedding.
Sir.
Sir, let us...
Hos...
Hospital?
Sir...
Don't... sir...
Sir, please listen to me...
He came here to die!
-Shouldn't we kill him, then?
-Sir...
Whether its a snake
Don't do it, sir...
or a worm...
Let go of him.
Sir!
You don't want to be a worm!
[Melancholic strings play]
O beloved child of the dark forest
Is sorrow now a fire in your heart,
my dear?
The time for mercy has long passed
[Dog barks sharply]
Like the fragile life
that was stolen too soon
The sky, a grieving mother, weeps
Her tears falling softly as rain
The yearning heart
that once held you close still waits
Muruga, my Lord!
[Benz's pained whimpers]
[Music of profound grief]
O heart, beyond all sight you drift
An unfading star
A sorrow I cant name
O heart, as night consumes the world
I became a forest, you burned within
[Crowd murmurs grow]
Hey...
You can cover your face, if you want.
[Soundtrack of sorrow]
Sir, sir!
Sir, let him talk to the media!
Sir, sir, move aside!
Did you kill your son?
I didn't kill my son.
The ones who killed my son... I...
Give him a chance to speak, sir!
Sir, we are from media.
We have the right to know the truth!
