The Minister is on the line, sir.
'Mr Jayaprakash'
'You know how important this deal is'
I'm sure you are aware, I've ensured you-know-who doesn't get this deal
This is not a mere deal It is my 30 year-obsession
I'll definitely wrap it up, sir
Thank you
Hi...hi everyone How are you, guys?
Hello, Mr Gautham.
You seem to have a wonderful team
We sign this deal in the next 2 days
Okay, sir
As soon as we sign this News
- It should be headlines everywhere - Yes, sir
It should be loud & clear to the ears this has to reach
- Okay, sir - But till then
Don't breathe a word about this to anyone
- Sure, sir - Yeah
What now?
I solved all your problems only last month
What is this strike in aid of?
Are you looking for an excuse?
How many demands will you keep piling?
This isn't my demand
- Workers' demand - Hey!
Aren't you the union leader?
You should make them understand
[mobile ringing]
Hello?
The mines' deal meant for you is now in JP's hands
- Whaaat? - Yes!
He's signing it in 2 days
- Yov! Attend to this - Yes, sir
'I don't want to hear 'Govt and rules' as excuses'
'In this particular area'
'Dig real deep'
I don't want to listen to any silly excuses
Okay, sir
[mobile ringing]
Yes, tell me
You can forget the $3 billion mines deal
JP has clinched it
- Whaaat? - The deal has gone
Sir
A piece of bad news, sir
'One of the largest trade transactions in Tamil Nadu'
'A mine deal worth $3 billion'
'...has been secured by Rajendran Group of Companies'
'This contract in trade circles is said to be the largest in India'
'Many industrial mining organizations competed to clinch this deal'
'Rajendran Group of Companies is one among them'
'In one night, in the midst of this cutthroat bidding'
'Rajendran Group of Companies made a smart move and clinch-'
Hello, who is this?
'Your friend!'
You play a good game, JP
You have the ball at your feet in full control
But you don't strike a goal
Goal is what counts in a game
You are trying hard to defeat me at least once
But you aren't able to, right?
If you have to win over me hands down
First you have to defeat my 2 sons
You can come anywhere near me only after you cross them
Even if you try all your life
You won't be able to succeed
'JP'
Don't ever try to touch my identity again
In business, always be alert
Even if sand falls into a good hunter's eyes
He has to keep his eyes open
Otherwise
The hunter will be the hunted!
Hello, sir Nice to see you
- 'Vanakkam' - Sir, please
Welcome, Mr Gautham
- Hi, sir - Welcome...welcome
Glad to meet you
My elder son, Jai
- Hello, sir - Hi Jai
- Arthi, Jai's wife - 'Vanakkam'
Ria, Jai's daughter
Ria?
Sudha?
Sudha, my wife
Those two kiddos are Ajay's children
- Grandma's pets - Hi
This is my family
And I am his one and only friend
Because other than me no one else can put up with him!
He's my best-
Dr Anand Padmanabhan
Look, I'm famous too!
- Hello, sir - 'Grandpa'
You forgot Kichu uncle once again
Uncle Kicha
They remember me when they order tea and then forget me after I bring it
I lost 5 kg serving them night and day
Great, sir
To see you live together happily as a joint family is a rare sight indeed
But what's most interesting
Only your 2 sons
You introduced to me as your family
Your youngest son
You didn't mention a single word about him
Vijay
Topics I am not comfortable with
I don't talk
I'm even more curious now
I'm not asking you this as a friend or a well-wisher
I'm asking as an investor
'What is your family equations?'
What are the likely future legal complications?
I need to know
True
A boy by that name lived here once
He didn't approve of my ways
I didn't like the path he chose
Now the link between that name and this house is completely broken
Don't you even know where he is now?
I don't know if he's dead or alive
"World over, he is the inhaled breath by people through the length & breadth"
"He is the spring; fountain paving the way springing through boulders night & day"
"Like the earth on its own axis spinning he holds his own in space always winning"
"7 layers in the atmosphere is he with his name and fame echoing loudly"
"He is the fire and the flame in full view"
"If you look intently, you are him too"
"Araariraaro; a lullaby we sing Who you are, inspect within"
"The whole world is at your feet Why erect fences to succeed?"
"Can't birds be heard chirping joyously? Won't floral scent excite you generously?"
"Were you fashioned out to be a relative of a robot?"
"Heart, heartbeat and soul Together as a whole"
"Make new friends, extend boundary Let us laugh, love and be merry"
"Mind, brain and psyche Bond together to strike"
"What you feared & crossed in the past let's strive to rectify failures at last"
"Grabbing someone else's dream Daily a mechanical life mainstream"
"Let go of this xerox scheme as your real life's theme"
"Our model, mentor, our leader, welcome You are always your own boss awesome"
"Our leader, our hero we look up to Let us live life to the fullest and true"
"Our polestar, our radar, our identity Who else can fill your shoes in reality?"
"Warm welcome to our hero for eternity Like waves you will never cease to be"
"The dot you are; epicenter of inception With you as center, world is an extension"
"Wonders of this world old and new weave magic from within you too"
"You sculpt your own destiny in your life's long journey"
"If you explore within; this instant you will be your own intoxicant"
"Don't riches diminish in their value when 24x7 the vast sky follows you?"
"Heart, heartbeat and soul Together as a whole"
"How will the waterfall interact if the koel warms its nest intact?"
"Our model, mentor, our leader, welcome You are always your own boss awesome"
"Our leader, our hero we look up to Let us live life to the fullest and true"
"Our polestar, our radar, our identity Who else can fill your shoes in reality?"
"Warm welcome to our hero for eternity Like waves you will never cease to be"
[mobile ringing]
What, ma?
Calling me so bravely!
Villain isn't at home, huh?
- [Hindi] Thank you - Why?
Why should I be scared to talk to my own son?
Where are you now?
Far, far away from your husband's house
You are good with all these dialogs!
But don't tell me your whereabouts!
Maa...?
All places far and near
Are dear to me and as good as mine
Forget my punch lines!
'Are you regular with your medical check-up?'
Akka-
I'll call you back, sister
Oh! I think 'enter the villain'!
'Hello everyone Welcome to Start up India'
'Presenting start up ideas throughout India in this summit'
We will now learn about
One of our country's best Start up ideas
Food is delivered at our doorstep with just 1 click in all cities today
But when we travel with our friends and family outside city limits
We eat what is available in those areas
We have an app to order what satisfies our tastebuds
'The speciality of this particular app'
Food we prebook
'Not only when we are going by road even when we are travelling by train
In the next station
We can enjoy piping hot food in our coach in our seat
And the man behind this brilliant app is
Mr Vijay Rajendran
Thank you
Hello, Mr Vijay Rajendran
You can call me Vijay
Okay, Mr Vijay
How did you think of this amazing idea?
Time, travel, hunger
Man cannot escape from these 3 essentials
I designed this app keeping these 3 basics in mind
Hello, Mr Vijay
- Hi - This is Monisha
From Investors magazine
Idea is really good
What is your investment plan?
Don't know, that's why it is called 'start up'
I am clear this investment is not meant for an individual to make huge profits
But to benefit one who thinks others should eat even if he is hungry
Thank you
This is Eashwar From Chennai Minutes
Hi
Why are you struggling this much to get an investor for your app?
Your father is a renowned businessman in India
Why isn't he interested in investing in this app?
Even if he is interested I am not interested in that
That's his identity This is my identity
That is his business
This is my business
Oh! So it is true then your father and you are at loggerheads?
That is none of your f-
Business
'I'm done'
Sorry, guys
Thank you for coming
I am sure all of you must be aware
The reason I called you tonight
My youngest son Vijay
He is back from Harvard with laurels in Business management
Vijay
Come here
I had a dream to study in Harvard too
But unfortunately
My dad wasn't a millionaire like me
But Vijay is lucky that way
I want to spring a surprise on all of you
For my son too
From tomorrow like my other 2 sons
Vijay will be joining our family business
But one thing
Just because he studied in Harvard he cannot become the heir to my company
If I have to entrust this company to one of my sons
I need to know first if they are eligible to run it
Out of my 3 sons whoever wins that race
He will be my next heir
What, Raj?
Making your family into a business module?
Yes
It is the survival of the fittest
Isn't it?
Vijay
Speak up
Go on
'Vanakkam' Greetings
Good evening
I don't know how I can carry the load of such a huge surprise!
He loves surprises
I should give him a return gift, right?
Surprise
To step into my dad's business
I have no such intention
Guess how lucky I am
I am 'blessed' with a dad who treats his family as a business model
I wish to tell him something
I don't have the need to prove my business acumen to anyone
As long as I know, that's enough
I would also like to add this
I went to Harvard on my own merit scholarship
Poor man!
I think his memory failed him
I wish to remind him about it
'That's all I wanted to say'
Bye
VIJAY!
WHAT WAS THAT?
Then what?
Without asking me my preferences
How much longer will you decide my life on your likes and dislikes?
Am I right?
What's up with you?
You know whom you are talking to?
I know only too well Owner of these 2 puppets!
Hey!
What will you do leaving this business at hand?
He has a Start up idea it seems
Start up, huh?
You'll forsake your fort and start a thatched roof from scratch?
You need my money for it, right?
How is it till the very end, you refuse to understand what I'm saying?
You are the only person in the world you created for yourself
But I want to live with the whole world in my universe!
To me, your fort seems like a thatched roof!
Your currency has no value in my world
Besides that
Your business ideas can never sync with my life's ideologies
What are you doing here?
OUT!
GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!
[jubilant laughter]
Thank you...thank you
For granting me freedom from this house
Vijay
Where are you going?
This is our home
- Am I not here for you? - Amma
This is his house, ma
Your place is only the kitchen
You have to cook what he wants even there!
Stay, don't go
You want me to be happy, right?
What is the matter?
Nothing much
Tell me anyway
I thought-
It is your 65th birthday in another 45 days
So?
I was wondering
You didn't let us celebrate your 60th birthday traditionally
If we perform this function now it will be good for our family it seems
Our astrologer from Chidambaram told me
If we conduct this function
Did the astrologer also say your youngest son will return?
That will never happen in this lifetime!
'Govt has announced a tender only for this mine'
And it has got a great potential
Our profits will be huge
But
Too many competitors have lined up
Yes, sir
To win this tender, Jayaprakash is already
...forming a consortium according to our sources
Whatever you intend quoting
Specify 25% more than that
But our profit will be affected
This isn't about profit
But related to our identity
'And that is priceless!'
See what you've done to that identity
'Past 6 months we've been hearing there's union problem in the Port'
What have you been doing?
No, dad, I've been trying to solve it
Don't try
Do it!
I shouldn't read this News hereafter
Sir, Dr Anand is on the line
- Tell him to come home - Okay, sir
I don't know what you'll do
Come what may we must win this tender
What, doctor?
You make so many patients wait daily Won't you wait for me one day?
'I have taken all the tests you asked me to'
'Don't prescribe more medicines I already have a pharmacy at home!'
What happened?
What I suspected is true
What did you suspect?
Your test result
It is positive
You are suffering from
Pancreatic cancer
4th stage!
It's a very dangerous cancer
It cannot be treated effectively
What are you trying to tell me?
Am I going to die?
How much more time do I have?
8 months!
10 months
Dai, have you told Sudha?
Please don't tell her
Other than you and me
I don't want anyone to know about this
Anand
Even I don't know how my death will be
But when I see the expression on your face
I am terrified
If you break down
I'll collapse and crumble too
Didn't you ask me something?
What?
Your wish
That birthday celebration like a wedding
Yes
Make the necessary arrangements
Why did you change your mind all of a sudden?
Why not?
Can't I say it suddenly?
Let's do it
[mobile ringing]
'Mummy...!'
Tell me, ma
Your appa has agreed
For what?
To celebrate his 65th birthday as a wedding function
With whom?
Dai...!
Oh! Sorry
I just thought
You still want to marry him a 2nd time after knowing him all these years
But why are you sharing it with me?
You should attend the function, right?
Amma
You know how I feel about it
I cannot step into that house again
Dai...!
It has been 7 years
7 years since you left this house
Do you know how a mother will feel not seeing her son all these years?
Your face
Your laughter
I'm scared I'll forget all that
'If I look back'
We have never celebrated anything together as a family!
'Who knows?'
This could very well be the last function in my life!
For my sake
Come home at least once
I understand
You won't come
Okay
Amma...?
Who are you, sir?
- Who do you want? - 'Amma...!'
Why are you screaming?
Madam, he has arrived
- Who? - Your son Vijay is here
"My ear can hear a lullaby so dear"
"Has my truth truly come to see me?"
"Needles in my heart Now those scars depart"
"Even the pulse in my body beats a rhythmic melody"
"The scent of my son leads me to the gate My welcome wish as festoons decorate"
"My heart on cloud nine swings to a tune sublime"
"A part of me that I lost back in my arms at last"
"My smile and heartbeat forgotten then now strengthened with a slice of heaven"
"My soul in this second in time Drenched in kindness sublime"
"Right in front of me, will time stand still totally?"
"In the corner of my lips slight a smile lightens with delight"
"Will this blessing so dear live a lifetime here?"
"I was yearning for countless days to see your innocent baby face"
"Now that you're back home, dear I can hear the lilting lullaby in my ear"
"I was waiting eagerly to hear the sound of your footsteps here"
"I was waiting in right earnest for my lap to be your head-rest"
Ria?
Do you remember her?
Ria was very young then
This is your uncle, dear
Go and freshen up
I'll serve your favorite 'sukiyan' sweet
Go
So for 7 years waiting for a call to invite you back home
...you were acting pricey
Huh? What fancy talk of standing on your own feet!
You left as zilch and back as the same zero!
Then why speak with such bravado?
What, anna?
It has been 7 years
Your anger towards me hasn't lessened at all?
In all these years not a single day has gone without me not missing you
Have I committed such a big crime for all of you to hate me in this house?
I shouldn't have come here, anna
Dai, I didn't mean it deliberately
I may have spoken out of anger
Even we missed you here
Now and then, I think
Hey...!
What, da?
You fell for my line?
Aiyo! My dear brother
You are prepared to eat dirt for my few sentiment laced dialogs?
Not 7 years
I didn't miss any of you even for a single second
I was enjoying myself
What is your problem now?
You are worried why I'm back, eh?
I'm not here to ask for my share
I came for amma's sake
I'll go back after the function
I'm not here to race with both of you blindfolded
Don't be scared
Your 'owner' will be looking for you...go...go
Bro!
Get me a half boiled egg, go
Everyday seems to be a royal struggle with these people
Dinner ready
- Dai! - Dinner ready
Din-
- Why are you screaming? - Then what?
Before I invite everyone here
...my body will become as flat as a lizard!
I get it
- Won't you change? - Don't flatter me!
Feeling very shy
That's fine
At least is this house better now or still the same?
Fat hopes you have!
It has gone from bad to worse
Look over there
Dining table in any house charts out the horoscope of a joint family!
Sit down and watch You'll see for yourself
Huhn? Really?
Let's watch the show
"Like this grindstone, o' bride be strong and push troubles aside"
"Be inseparable as the stars above Arundati & Vasishta in your love"
"Trousseau the daughter-in-law brings is the sound of her toe-rings"
[song from soap opera 'Metti Oli']
Cross check those papers and send them
Look there
#1 entry
No need, I'll take care
What is this?
Describing it like a jail?
Of course this is a jail
A wealthy jail
Your appa is the warden!
Why is the first son all alone?
Won't my sister-in-law join him?
'I don't know what the problem is'
Past 6 months they haven't spoken or even seen each other face to face
- Hahn? - Huhm
Here comes #2
'What is he looking for?'
When your senior anna is at the dining table
Your junior anna won't eat with him
They will both look like winning race horses to an outsider
Only insiders know the truth
They beat Tom & Jerry hollow!
Baby
Come down soon
- 'Coming, baby' - Heard that?
This is reverse
If your sister-in-law is night then your brother is her night dress!
They are like hand and glove
This big sinner won't eat without his baby boss
Serving her 'sambar'
Thank you
When I'm not here, will you talk the same way about me too?
No way
How can I tell it to your face?!
Hey
- Come, eat - Mum-mo!
M-O!
What are you doing, ma?
Past 1 hour, I've been watching They come, eat and go
Not one of them asked if you ate?
How are you managing in this circus?
Come, sit down
God help you!
Too much!
How many times I would have called you to get out of here?
This time you come with me
Where will I go?
A house is just made of brick and mortar
Easy to walk out
Is family the same?
Okay, ma
So how much and how long can you put up with this?
Why should I put up with a place I like to be in?
Everyone here has some flaw or the other
I'm not denying it
But in this birth
This is my family
Until now you haven't answered my question
No need, don't ask
I will ask, I want to know
Are you happy here, amma?
You just won't understand even if I answer this
Eat
'Tell them I don't want'
I didn't start this app for those who have everything
It is meant for the have-nots
I don't want an investor who wants to scrape the bottom of a hungry bowl
Tell this to that dimwit What is his name?
Aditya Mittal
He's not doing any favor to us, okay?
I'll call you back
What are you up to?
Who are you to question me?
You are just a guest here
Don't think you can take liberties with me
Are you trying to save me?
I won't let go of that chance even if it is 0.1%
Why?
I've accepted it
I know...I know
When you agreed to celebrate this function
I knew you've come to terms with it
That's for Sudha
Until now I haven't fulfilled any of her wishes
In my life, this will be
The last celebration
Why should I worry?
I've leaving behind a huge empire I built brick by brick
And 2 princes for sons to run it
Immediately after the function
I'll tell my entire family the truth
Until then let Sudha and everyone be happy
That's fine
Who will be your heir?
Million $ question decided?
You were chasing me for a long stretch of time
Now I have to run behind you, eh?
When even your own dad didn't believe in your project and didn't fund you
I lent you money
4 billion
2 years ago
Now including the interest 5.5 billion
I have saved your dad's # in my phone
- I presume you know that? - Hey Mukesh
Give me some time please
I don't want my dad to know about this
You bet!
You keep dreaming you'll become your dad's heir
But if he gets to know all this
Your dream won't come true, right?
Already I'm hearing rumors
Your dad intends making your brother his heir
Grapevine news
I won't let that happen
More than this 5.5 billion
If I offer something more lucrative?
What is that?
How much longer will we meet clandestinely?
You are having the cake and eating it too!
- Do you really love me? - Hey!
How can you even doubt that?
Then what?
Please wait a bit longer
When I become the chairman
Then no one can stop me
Are you sure?
Has your dad named you as his heir?
What will you do if he selects your brother?
You have no answer for that, do you?
Hey Smita
Tell me, sir
None of the problems there should be snuffed out
Keep fuelling the fire
I'm following your orders, sir
I'll do the needful
"Frying pan on the stove piping hot Socket so useless, use not"
"Vadivelu Dubai comedy Dodge when your hands are empty"
[folk song]
Oh! Lubba lubba!
Lub-dub lubba!
Lubba!
What quiet mischief are you up to?
- Who is she? - Who is who?
2007
July 4th
- You went to see a bride for your anna? - Yes
- That bride had a sister - Yes
You complained to me she couldn't take her eyes off you
Abbaa!
Why bring up her image in my mind now?
That 'her' is this 'she'
Which one?
This Miss India card and that 'Aadhaar' card are ditto?
That '2 plait pretty miss' is roaming with her hair loose
What are you braiding now?
- Look at my timing? - Why?
The short time I intend staying here
I was wondering how I can talk to her, hook her, hug and kiss her
When she herself is interested in me in this rushing rash way
My love track is so easy, no?
She has no such interest
Only rushes in rashly!
She crushed your timing long time ago
You are discouraging lovers
Who is her lover?
I, me, myself!
I won't accept it
- What? - Make black tea for me
Bring it in the right time you claim you're good at
Don't talk about timing to me
- This is the right way - Ah! Okay
'Didn't I tell you?'
My friend's dad is an advocate
I spoke to him
If you are okay, we'll take the process forward
What process?
Divorce, akka
Did I ask you for help?
Should you ask?
Seeing is believing
You are not happy here
You don't even know that?
You know it's ages since I saw you smile
For the sake of your children and this society
You want to sacrifice your life, akka?
You have to come out of this hell hole
I can't do that
You'll never change, will you?
"Like thunder and lightning Come, dude, daring and daunting"
"Rev up your spirit Dude, go on, do it!"
"Fizz it"
Baby...babe
I think you didn't see me
Who are you?
Thank God he didn't see this
I had the same feeling I didn't recognise you at first either
More than before even I have become
Smarter and handsome-er!
That's why I seem like a stranger to you
July 4th
2007
Your sister's wedding
You got attracted to a boy
Yes...Appi
Appi...o?
Appachan My classmate
I used to call him Appi
Appi or Tuppy I don't know who
Don't you recognise me
No, I don't
No, uh?
'Black tea'
'On the dot timing'
Forget it
This is a famous film dialog, 'Love is like a flower to some'
'Once the flower wilts and withers the petals can't be stuck back!'
A strong glue can fix it as good as new
Why didn't you tell this earlier?
I did, no one listened to me
Listen to me now
That time was her akka's entry here
This is the time she wants her akka to exit
Oh! Then the issue is my brother and wife not getting along
Otherwise she likes me
When did I say that?
You didn't exactly say so You believe it, right?
"Happy birthday to you"
"Happy birthday, dear Harshu"
"Happy birthday to you"
Hahn?
Look, she's looking at me
Who?
You think so?
Move this side
I'll make you understand
Where is she looking now?
Aiyo!
Look! She's looking at where I stood
No one can beat your timing!
Come and stand here
I'm better off standing next to that horse
Do you want to grab its grass and eat?
You always have a quick rejoinder!
I hate the sight of him even standing next to you
Leave him, akka
It's better to leave than carry on like this
Correct?
Then what? I am yet to see you smile
Why torture yourself?
More than the fear of living alone after a divorce
Feeling terrible living together is even more of a trauma
Of course you'll be scared I am not denying it
But
If you step over that stage
You can enjoy a new life
At least won't you be happy?
Isn't this what you wanted to say?
Am I right, da?
You'll hit me if I disagree
Hmmm...correct
Think
Think deep
Think deep and hard
- What, da? - Instead of uniting with that girl
You separated her sister from her husband
Backfired, right?
Your family is already on fire
She won't see you
Pouting your lips like a baby after messing it up big time
'Excuse me'
I thought that girl is calling me even now?
Love is really a magical feeling
Huhmm...not even mud or clay!
- She's right behind you, turn - Really?
You said something?
Sorry, stuffed my feet into my mouth?
No...not at all
You'll be
I thought you'll also be just like your eldest brother
But
You are different
I was the one who thought you were wrong
It's okay if you thought I am wrong
But I am glad
You 'thought' of me, right?
Love, da
Go ahead, talk
July 4
2007?
Evergreen in my memory
I will never forget that day
I know about your Start up idea too
Been watching you
"She set her eyes on me"
"Her looks heated up scorchingly"
"In tune with my heartbeat she came as a love-treat"
"To me it was a mighty slip I flipped, skipped to her lip"
"Hey! This girl with jhimki ear-ring Beaming with her eyes ever so alluring"
"Like waves hugging the shore repeatedly A chocolate statue on a walking spree"
"Hey! She's a dusky, dusky rose refreshing With a husky, husky voice ravishing"
"Like a drizzle showering cool beauty This angel is roaming around the city"
"Hypnotized me with hugs was you I have become your loyal fan so true"
"O' gold fish! Brushing past me provokingly you stir up my senses breathtakingly"
"Handsome is your middle name"
"I should learn to play this love-game"
"The hand that sketched you like this added extra elixir to the paint mix"
"Was this the moon that night radiating joy with delight?"
"Is it that same moonlight shining here at me so bright?"
"Both our eyes immersed in blissful love Isn't it the same silver moon from above?"
"Hey! If you dab make-up on your face it is a blemish like the moon's surface"
"You gleam like a mirror polished I go to pieces over you famished"
"Where's beau's name, yours truly on the name board in your porch, tell me?"
"My friend-zone is cut and uprooted My life is set with you sure-footed"
"Your heart has now become my hut with a warm welcome"
"Get lost, scoot from my view I sweat now thanks to you!"
"I want a cupful of your kisses for dinner"
"Start with 1 now as appetizer What's wrong, my jhimki dazzler?"
"You play games so cute With your eyes so astute"
"Your mischievous antics manifold Your hype upgrades untold"
"She set her eyes on me"
"Her looks heated up sizzlingly"
"In tune with my heartbeat she came as a love-treat"
"To me it was a mighty slip I tripped, flipped to her lip"
"Was this the moon that night radiating joy with delight?"
"Is it that same moonlight shining here at me so bright?"
"Both our eyes immersed in blissful love Isn't it the same silver moon from above?"
[mobile ringing]
Who is this?
Consider me your 'friend'
Or delete the first 3 letters and think of it as your 'end'
'Good news'
Not for you, for me
You are 'tender' king usually
But I've got the mines tender in my hands now
'How did I manage that?'
Someone very near and dear to you
Maybe handed over your tender details to me?
I don't have time to think
I barged in
I'm coming for your crown
HOW THE HELL DID THIS HAPPEN?
How is it possible?
No one else knows about it other than all of you here
How was the tender detail leaked out then?
You handled the tender, right?
How did it leak?
Tell me how?
The paper that covered us all the time
JP will hog the headlines tomorrow!
As soon as I find out the traitor
I WILL GIVE THEM HELL
HELL!
'Divya'
What a surprise, dear?
- Came to see my sist- - Your sister
Hasn't she gone to your place?
- Who said she's here to see her akka? - 'Then?'
Have you come to see your sister?
You're dead meat, get lost!
Looks like both the sisters will take over this bungalow!
Whom did you want to see?
Um...er...uh
I came to see you, ma
I came just to see you
Come
Oh! You're here, ah?
"Oh! Baby...baby"
"My Goddess Devi"
Baby!
That long overdue hug and kiss
'Hey!'
'HEY!'
I am calling you, son
Come here
From when has this been going on?
July 4th
2007
So many years ago!
She hit on me from then
It hit me...just now!
Hey! You didn't tell amma the reason for your visit?
Show that
Mum, read this
Your son's company
Look at the investment I've got
Pccht! Take a look
What happened, ma?
Mom!
Only when I see all this, I am reminded of reality
You'll leave anytime, right?
This is it
This is our problem
We lead our life like that
We worry about the present thinking of the unknown future
But I'm with my amma this very minute
Pccht!
Listen to me
Look at me
Why did I come here?
Only because this function should be special for you?
Just wait and watch how special I make your function a day to cherish!
"Hey!"
"Gift from God gracious"
"Hey!"
"Godsend auspicious"
"Hey! A divine gift benevolent"
"Hey! A sublime precious present"
"This is the time to celebrate Everyone, come and participate"
"This is the time to rejoice Come and share our joys"
"This is the time to celebrate Everyone, come and participate"
"This is the time to revel Come to sing and swirl"
"Uncle, rejoice and revel"
"Uncs, rock & roll"
"Chithappa, tap your feet"
Auspicious time is nearing Bring your mother here
[Holy chant]
The priest is calling us, let's go
A drama is about to be staged
Wait and watch
Why did you come here?
How much longer will you keep me in hiding?
Everyone should know I'm in your life
Are you mad or what?
Didn't I tell you?
I need some more time
So you want me to continue being like-
I've had enough
Even though I knew all along something like this was happening
I tolerated your deceit
But now
After seeing this with my own eyes
I'm just done with you!
Arthi
Arthi, wait, my dear
Don't take any hasty decision
Hey! Come here
COME HERE!
Arthi, listen to me
If you were in my shoes
What would you have done?
That's it, everything is over
'Not yet!'
'Game starts now'
Hi, sir, I'm Mukesh.
Financier.
Unfortunately I'm here to
Serve you this notice
Your son Ajay has borrowed a hefty sum from me without your knowledge
To carry out the same real estate project you rejected
That loan including the interest amounts to-
5.5 billion!
Sir
I didn't lend him that huge a credit trusting his credibility
It was for your face!
Hey!
'What are you doing, man?'
I gave you what you asked, right?
Then why this now?
You bloody cheat!
'Sir! You know that tender you lost'
You must have racked your brains as to who leaked the details, right?
The culprit is
Your beloved 2nd son!
Now... I'm a cheat!
I'll make sure I kill you
You bloody-
How dare you manhandle me!
This is our home
Can you see over there?
That's the gate!
If you want to discuss any business go outside the gate and speak
In the next 10 seconds if you are not out of this compound
You won't reach your damn house!
Get lost!
'Hey Raju'
'What is this?'
'Thank God you didn't tell them you have mere months to live!'
If you had told them
'They would've made mincemeat of you, before you passed over'
Hear me out
For God's sake don't trust them
Don't tell them the truth
[mobile ringing]
Hello?
"Happy birthday to you"
How did you like my birthday gift?!
You know business and calculations like the back of your hand
You know to win over an enemy miles away
...with the help of your sons
But you are oblivious about your own sons inches away from you?!
Actually I'm curious. Between your 2 sons
Who is your next heir?
Can you...live here with us?
- Huh? - No, I asked
Can you live here like before?
Why?
You have to run all this
Run what?
This house and my company as my heir
You have to take the reins
[tickled chuckle]
You are a pucca businessman, right?
When you knew your 2 sons have gone to the dogs you're dragging me in!
Into your race
Whatever mess you are in is because of the decisions you made
But thank you
For asking me to get out that day
Because the second I stepped out of this house
This whole world felt like home with the exception of this house
Even that is thanks to you
Thank you for the offer, Mr Rajendran Palanisamy
Pccht!
But I am rejecting it
In some corner of your mind do you think I came here for your sake?
No chance
I came for my amma's sake and I am going back now
No force can stop me
Take care, ma
Come, lunch is ready
I'm not hungry
You haven't eaten anything from the morning
I'm telling you I'm not hungry
Why is he coming back?
Who?
Vijay!
Why didn't you go?
I didn't feel like leaving, ma
When you stepped out, I was scared
I thought
I thought that's the last time I'll be seeing you
I was leading a royal life thinking all my decisions were right
When death opened its jaw at me
I understood the complete essence of life
The questions death is asking me
I have no ready replies
All these years I thought I had conquered the world
Losing at the home front
What is the use of conquering the world?
If I walk down memory lane
I don't remember any of my achievements
Only the mistakes I did stare right into my face
'You are making grave blunders'
This was said to my face by...
...only you!
If those blunders have to be straightened out
Only you can do it
Till date
I have never asked you anything
I am asking you now
Will you be by my side?
Even this request
I'm not asking for my sake
I am asking for your mother's sake
She has dedicated her entire life to this family
Look what I've done to her?
Did you see my present plight?
The fact that I am dying
I can't tell anyone other than you
When Anand told me I have just months left
I was not scared at all
But when I see what's happening around me
I am terrified!
I am dying every second within me
If only you are with me
I'll be at peace without being scared like this
Will you give me a peaceful send-off?
First check all the annexures
- Hello? - Congratulations
For what?
Your plan worked out in your favor
Watch the News
'One of the renowned industrial enterprises'
'Rajendran Group of Companies'
'Its founder Mr Rajendran is retiring from his post as Chairman'
'Vanakkam'
'To my investors, stake holders and those who supported me in my long tenure'
'Thanks'
'I have decided to retire'
Game over
That does not mean the game is over!
'The game'
'Starts only now'
'Let me introduce to all of you'
'The heir to my empire'
His heir?
Who is his heir?
"Here comes our identity He is our Thalapathy"

"If you are jealous watch from a distance"

Hereafter knock before you enter
Chairman doesn't like it
Wondering who the chairman is?
Yours truly!
Hey!
How are you occupying that seat?
True that?!
How did I get to sit here?
I said I was leaving home
Appa asked me to stay behind
I said I would do so only if he gave me his chair
He said 'okay' readily
That's all
Anna...!
Didn't I tell you then I'm here for amma's sake?
Now let me tell you
I have come back for appa's sake!
Brothers!
Watch out!
THE BOSS
RETURNS!
"When Thalapathy enters the hall 'mass moment' for one and all"
"If you are jealous watch from a distance"
"When Thalapathy comes drum beats split eardrums"
"If you don't like it, alas! stand afar, it's your loss!"
Appa
APPA!
Appa...appa?
What is it, son?
- Why are you both yelling? - Don't you know?
Don't you know what your husband did?
Your youngest son is his heir it seems
Then who are we?
Ask me
What has happened now?
You didn't like the events during your birthday celebration
Is that right?
Yes, I am in love with Smita
So I am not eligible based on that one issue?
'What did I do?'
I asked you money to start a business
If you had trusted your own son and done the needful
Why will I go to someone else?
If what we did was a crime
Shall I announce in a mic the blunder you committed?
You were responsible in creating this competition between us
You made us fight with each other and enjoyed watching the fun
[clapping]
[whistling]
And the world's best son award goes to
Who deserves it between you both?
Huh? Everything is his mistake, right?
You are innocent babe in arms, eh?
Sir, you mentioned the word 'love'
I searched for its meaning in the dictionary
It showed up as 'exploitation', sir
You have given that female's father our mines transport tender.
Without anyone's knowledge!
What is the discount?
3 million per day which adds to 2.19 billion for 2 years!
I didn't know your love will be such a costly affair!
'Sir...!'
One who gave the tender details
You have to prove him wrong So you borrowed money from outside
Why don't you show the profits you made from that?
What happened?
Not there? Good Lord!
5.5 billion
Vanished into thin air? That's why he didn't give you money
But
What you said is right too He also blundered
He blundered to safeguard his hard earned money
But you on the other hand
You blundered to squander or misuse! That's a major difference, right?
Okay
What's done is dusted
Whatever happened should change us for the better
What will happen
Only we should alter
At least now let's be a family
What did you say?
Be with you, eh?
Till such time you are here I won't stay for even 1 minute!
You'll realise the heat of this seat
From this minute onwards
[mimicking fake laughter]
You are next in line, da
Your decision to make him your heir
Will you change that or not?
No
The fact I don't have a place in this house
You've said it with a slap on my face!
'Thanks'
Please don't walk away in a huff!
Dai, please listen to me
Dai...!
Whatever it is let's talk it over
Jay, listen to me
Dai! Stop them from leaving
Go, da
Amma
They have already distanced themselves
If you don't let go even now
They will never come back
'Eshwar?'
Eshwar
Sir has come Show him around the port
Who is 'sir'?
Whose 'sir'?
I know only 2 sirs
One is Jay sir
The other is Ajay sir
'Only they are my boss'
I don't know him from Adam!
Hey! How dare you! What audacity!
Matthew...Matthew
I can explain, sir Please come
Sir!
'Someone told me'
He isn't here to race with me
Then why did you return like the prodigal son?
Didn't you witness it?
If you stay here you have to keep running all your life!
'1-2'
'1-2-3-4'
Hey!
Get it into your head at least now
'1-2-3'
- Hey! - '4'
How did you become the chairman?
You should have the right quality to occupy the chairman's seat
And you don't have that
Anna...!
What, bro?
1 or 2 means I can manage How can I fight an army?
Have some mercy on your brother
Am I an Iron man? I'm only an ordinary man!
Hey! Did you regard me as your 'anna' for me to excuse you as my 'thambi'?
Hey! Throw him aside
I didn't do anything, anna
He was the one who hit my hand with his body
Hey! What are you waiting for?
Bash him!
"My Thalapathy!"
Oooh! Ouch!
Is the quality check okay, bro?
Hey...!
Thought this is the end of it?
All the workers here are my men
You can't be safe here
This is
My ground!
Doesn't matter who owns the ground
What counts is who is playing the game!
Want to see my game?
"Check it out, yo"
"Bring it up, yo"
"He is the man, yo He is THE man, yo!"
"Who else can it be?"
'He is our very own Thalapathy"
"If the heir steps in, V for victory Watch the sky for his flag of glory"
"Law in his hands is held firm and fair Enjoy the fireworks with our hero-heir"
"He's stuffing a cobra into a sack? Don't invite trouble, step back"
"Don't show your mini-might with our eagle in solo flight!"
"He is the scented garland in the monkey duo's hand"
Got scared?
I would've crushed your car
But now it is my property, right?
That's why I spared it
Whose control is the ground in now?
Ground maybe filled with your men
But the audience will watch only 1 man
Have you heard of that?
Man of the match!
Then
What happened until now cannot be repeated
Because
Now
I am the boss!
"Don't mess with this thambi"
"History will turn topsy-turvy"
"To even think of defeating me you need a 1000-man army"
"To face me in the arena nevertheless you have to break barricades boundless"
- Get an auto for anna - Okay, sir
- Hey...! - Sir?
- Fare is c/o his account - Sure, sir
"When Thalapathy comes drum beats split eardrums"
Grand entry!
'He's looking weirdly at us'
Who are these people?
Did you just ask 'Who are these people?'
You aren't even aware of that and occupying the Chairman's seat!
They are Board of Directors of this company
- Why has this meeting been convened? - No Confidence Motion
To vote if a person is deemed fit to hold a position or not
This is a Limited company
If you want to sit in this chair and become the Chairman
Board of directors seated here should be on your side
You don't have that kind of majority
As far as I know
Court notice
In another 2 days you have to prove your majority
All the best!
If your dad has given you this responsible position
We know he would have analysed the pros and cons
So we vote
Only for you
But our support alone won't help to get votes in your favor
Sorry
[mobile ringing]
Yes
The boss returns
My dear 'thambi'
You thought this was a theater seat?
To buy tickets and take your seat?
It is the Chairman's seat, da
One who occupies this seat is like a king!
You think you are eligible to occupy that seat?
I shouldn't see you again in this area
'Asking for coffee at midnight!'
'Cow kicks me hard if I try to milk it'
Here is your coffee
Why do you look so dull?
You were having a gala time roaming around in your casual clothes
No problems like this
You donned one extra coat
Look how your problems got coated!
What is your problem now?
Dai!
Who found these siblings and relatives?
No need to 'find' them
If you are doing well, enough They will make a beeline to you!
My dear kith and kin
You are toxic, da
Yes
If you have a problem with them
Can't yell at them, hit them or leave them and go
Can't keep fighting and live under the same roof
This sounds very familiar
Where did you see?
Where did I-
In your appa's room
Mahabharath
Telugu dubbing
Do you know what is said?
If you want good things to happen
You can even fight with your kith & kin
There is a specific name for this episode
'Leader of Dharma'
'Dharma protects you'
'War of righteousness'
Yes
Everything is fair in love and war
Hello, Mr Vijay My name is Deepak
I'm the Returning Officer for this voting
'They have all shared their opinion even before you arrived'
And Mr Ajay has a clear majority
Officer, please announce the winner
Don't waste time
Sir, how can you announce directly?
Campaigning is a prelude to voting, right?
If you can grant me 5 minutes-
If 5 minutes is granted
Will directors on this side switch camps?
In 5 minutes even a Govt changes!
Who knows?
After hearing my speech, even you might
- Switch to my side - What?
In your dreams, eh?
Sir, give him time
Let us see what he accomplishes
Your time starts now
Sir
My father brought this company to this level with his blood, sweat and-
Hey! Turn it off
Appa shed blood, poured sweat!
Made you wear a sweater!
Your sympathy won't work here
Try something new
What, sir?
Put on your thinking cap
Think of something new
'Aak paak karuvepaak I'll give you a super shock'
What is this new poem?
This is a new book, sir
Book, huh?
In that book
Chapter # 1
Story about a family man
He's a big shot in Chennai
His name is-
- Sir...? - Huh?
If you don't mind
Can I use your name for that character?
Velraj
All yours to keep!
Velraj
Perfect family man, sir
Daughter is studying medicine abroad and son is studying in a well known college
And he is a very disciplined person
To what extent means?
He won't shell out a naya paisa even for his son's birthday party!
He will say this money came from his blood and sweat
His wife treated him like God, sir
Even the family details match mine
Character jells too like glue
Continue
Everyone will work only 6 days in a week
But our Velraj
He will work hard even on Sundays
He'll leave his house every Sunday by car
'We'll assume he's going to his office'
But the car will race on Adyar flyover, make an U turn
And stop at-
Where, sir?
Brindavan Colony
What is his job in Brindavan Colony, sir?
As if that's so important!
Keep quiet
Please proceed, sir
Investment, sir
Street # 18
Small set-up
Brother
He has another wife, sir
If there are investments returns will follow, right?
You bet there is! He has another son 10 years of age
Bro, please stop here
Sir, this isn't about you
It is the character Velraj in that book, sir
Oh! Book?
You booked me!
That 10 year old son
Said, 'Appa I want to be like cricketer Virat Kohli'
When the 1st son asked money for his birthday party
The father who slapped his son
For his 2nd son
He spent $6000 and got a bat from Australia the very next week!
'That's his pillow to sleep!'
When that boy took the bat to a tournament
He dropped him at the ground and advised him so lovingly, sir
What did he say, sir?
'Cu...cu...cup is important, Bigil!'
'Bigil'
'Cup is important, Bigil'
[from 'Bigil']
You penned your 'kutty story' on me!
Did the wife know about the mistress?
Yov! How is it possible?
Do you know the extent Velraj goes to maintain secrecy?
All that you won't know
It should not be known either
- That is- - Please don't add more, bro
- Your story has said it all - Oh!
If that Velraj can come from Besant Nagar to Brindavan
Won't this Velraj come from here to your side?
I'm coming right now, my dear boy
What a poetic title for that book!
'Aak paak karuvepaak Anna gave a super shock'
Sir, my vote is for
For the younger bro I mean, to this 'anna'!
Sir, how can you allow this?
Sir, this is within the rules
Sir...!
How many more votes do I need?
You still need 4
Ohhhh!
[lamb bleating]
Chapter # 2
This is a friendship story
Sir, what is your name?
I won't tell you
His name is Thambi Durai
Use it, sir
Thambi Durai and Mustafa were running a Chit Fund company in Kerala
Then one night Thambi Durai ran away with all the money cheating Mustafa
He invested his entire loot in Chennai
He became a big shot and in a company today
He has the power to decide who should become the Chairman
Imagine his career graph!
'His story is my flashback'
Hey betel leaf chewer!
Isn't that you?
The only man Mustafa is searching is Thambi Durai who cheated him
If I call him and tell him Thambi Durai is alive, you know what he will say?
What will he say, sir?
I am...
...waiting
I am voting!
Sir
My family vote is for sir
Okay
Betel leaf for me
- 'Chunam' for you! - I'm burning all over
'Sir...?'
You need 3 more votes
You need 3 more votes?
1 more chapter, sir
Multi starrer
3 characters
1 story
I have read that book
- Very inspiring - Sir
The book you sent me, right?
I've read it too, sir
Big deal, book and all that
'Look at him'
How beautifully like a teacher he taught us a lesson
"Master is coming! Move aside"
'Bump it, fellows!'
'Rock & roll, man'
[song from 'Master']
"When our bro steps in atom bomb exploding"
Hey, what are you doing?
You said something, right?
This isn't a theater seat
Made 3 blockbusters in 1 film and took the seat from under your butt!
Make the announcement now, sir
Chairman's name
Mr Vijay Rajendran
Selected as the Chairman of the company
Sir, this is Chairman's seat
Sir, please take your seat
Power is not in the seat, sir
The man who occupies that chair
He wields the power
Our power
One of a kind!
Punch is working out, eh?
You did a total knock out, bro
What, ma? Not had dinner?
Come, let's eat
I'm not hungry, son.
Why do you look out of sorts?
Your eldest sister-in-law has served a divorce notice
Okay, what else did you expect?
His actions have reaped this repercussion
I'm his mother, son.
I can't think like that
Our family is breaking apart right in front of my eyes
Now my daughter-in-law wants to leave too
Needles prick my heart even thinking of Ria's plight
I can't be calm like you and take it in my stride
'There was nothing wrong about you sending the notice'
But I don't know if that makes you happy doing so
What other choice do I have?
I don't have an answer for this question
This decision you've taken
Whether it will give you pain or peace
Only you know
Who are you to comment on this?
Where's my dad?
He should be talking to us
Ria!
Whatever decision you take
We will stand by you as a family for Ria and you
For keeps
'Everything is at your convenience, right?'
You told my sister to leave him that day
You want her to rethink today
Go and show this to your brother
He'll happily sign it
That's why I didn't go there!
I came here
Hey! Close it, close it Leave... leave.
What happened, sir?
We got Govt orders to seal the mine
Ask everyone to leave
'Mining corporation is sealing all mines belonging to Rajendran Group of Companies'
'Is it the beginning of the end of a renowned empire?'
'Or we will soon know if Rajendran Group of Companies is shutting down'
This is a big blow for us, sir
Mines are the lifeline for our business
'Directly or indirectly'
'All our companies are linked to mines'
I'm not sure how your father will bear this loss, sir
'What the hell is this?'
I have taken a lease for 50 years on the mines
Only 30 years have passed
How can you seal it?
Don't you follow rules?
Mr Rajendran
Problem isn't with our rules
It is within your family
You company has only 3 directors
2 of them have contested the mines' license
We are well within our rights to cancel this as per proper rules
That's what we've done
If you have something to say you can talk to them
They are right here
Mr Rajendran
Do you wish to talk to them?
In another 15 days
These mines will open for re-tender
Whoever wins that, will acquire the lease of these mines
If I have to win over you do I have to cross over your 2 sons?
Look at your plight now
Your sons have crossed over to my side!
Count your days
He has managed to do everything
My 2 sons are hand in glove with my enemy
I shouldn't have been alive to see this day.
You are seeing them both supporting your enemy
But I, on the other hand
For the 1st time I see them as united brothers-in-arms
Sir
Bring the files and details on all our tenders so far
'This file has the quotes of all the tenders we've won so far, sir'
What brings you here?
We must win this tender somehow
I heard he has already started speaking to investors
If he acquires this tender
He will turn both your brothers
Into mere puppets
He is a crocodile
If I'm right
'He must have already started his game with them'
One of them is aware I'll win
The other two
They are well aware how I will win
My calculations
My thought process
They know me inside out
To win this war, my father
...will go to any extent
The mines have a contract worth $3 billion
They will bid up to 4000 crores
We should exceed 40 billion
At least
We should quote 50 billion
We have to push it
We should bid up to 45 billion
Not enough
This time we should bid unimaginable numbers
Let's surprise them
6000 crores?
This is insane
If you want to win
This is the only way
Find one investor for this
We don't have much time
Make it fast!
Now I understand why we don't win the tender
He has brought up both his sons like monsters
But with just 1 stone we'll hit Rajendran's 3 sons
The investor we get
...should be our man
- I'm talking to the investors - Find someone soon
He should be smart
Shrewd
Ruthless
Finally I met a big investor
Aditya Mittal
'But when you talk to him watch your words'
He's a shrewd businessman
- Hi - Hello, sir
This is Jay Rajendran and this is Ajay-
I've already got the intro and updates
As an investor
My only interest in this project
$3 billion deal on the mines
So our terms of the deal will be
I dictate the terms
You may know about the mines
But the money is mine
So the deal will be 80-20
What?!
You call this a deal?
75-25
It's 55-45
Or nothing
Good luck!
Sir-
What's up with both of you?
It's impossible to get an investor like this in the last minute
Hey! Do we look like beggars to you?
No way!
Then be ready to lose to your father and brother
This deal is okay for us
What is wrong with you?
This isn't related to percentages
It's related to our identity
It's important we win now
That's it
Get ready for the tender
'15 companies have bid for the tender of these mines'
'Company which has bid 3rd highest'

Global Consortium Enterprises
'After the formalities are over'
The mines will be handed over to Global Consortium Enterprises
'Thank you, ladies and gentlemen'
Thank you
Go tell that old man
You are his rightful heir
The heir who has come to seal his downfall
Boss-bud
When I see you, I'm reminded of a tale my grandma told me
There was a huge forest
There lived a tiger with such temerity assuming it can defeat all the animals
What that power-crazy tiger who was careless didn't know
A hunter will stand in front to make it his prey
Hunter
Tiger
Arrow
Just a small twang
Ting!
The end
Game over
So now you know the identities of the tiger and hunter in this forest
To the hunter
Hunting is his profession!
Go tell your father
Hereafter blow after blow after blow after repeated blows
...will strike you down
Be prepared, boss-bud
Rajendran
He should have been here today
I missed the chance to see the loser's face
Tell me
When is that Aditya Mittal coming?
As an investor
He has to sign the agreement
He'll be here to sign on that day
[mobile ringing]
Why this panic?
Calling me nonstop?
Not like that, sir
This is an important contract, right?
There are many ill wishers who don't want you in here!
You refused security to protect you, that's why
Hey!
I'm the one who calls the shots here
'Who will aim a shot at me?!'
I presume you know whom you're talking to
No one can stop me
I'll be there, hang up
He's on the way, sir
Why this delay, sir?
Only 10 minutes left to complete the formalities
- Call him - Sir
Sir, he is here
Sir, Vittal sir Let's go inside, sir
Hey!
Sir?
Why this tension?
I'm here, right?
'Sir...sir...sir'
We are running short of time Check has to be submitted
We are waiting for your signature, sir
'Only 5 minutes left Please, sir, let's go in'
Mukesh
What will you and I do going inside now?
My boss has to come
- Aren't you the boss, sir? - I am boss to you!
But for me...?
"It's time, it's time to give it back, dude"
"Your turn now to conclude Time to return the favor, dude"
'Vanakkam', uncs!
'We should bid up to 45 billion'
Not enough
You want to quote more than that?
We will quote even less
Those who know your calculations like the back of their hand
We shouldn't combat with numbers
Didn't you tell me JP is like a crocodile?
You don't need a bait to catch a crocodile!
'Leave this to me'
Let me play this game
What, boss?
I thought you had forgotten me
I need a help from you
Help, uh?
Just order, boss
You made me invest on your terms in your 'Map My Food' deal
I fell flat at your feet then floored by your talent
I'm now your devoted fan!
Don't embarrass me, partner I am feeling shy
Aiyo! If you feel shy Tamil Nadu can't take it, boss!
Tell me how I can help you
Muah!
[Telugu] Coming...I'm coming!
Bro, hold this
I'll take it from you
Uncs!
You shouldn't have slept half way through your grandma tale
You're right, a hunter indeed stood in front of a tiger lying in the forest
But the hunter himself did not know this
The tiger that got fed up of making a prey out of all the animals in the forest
Targeted only the hunter in its hunting list!
Luring him into the jungle pretending to be the prey was that clever tiger!
Arrow, hunter, tiger
A slight twang!
Twain!
The end
Uncs, hunting is the hunter's profession!
The tiger treats it as a game
Did you think you found an investor on your own?
The one who sent him to you
Yours truly!
If you don't submit the check what will happen, partner?
Your company, next in queue will get the deal
What was it you said?
'Blow after blow after blow after repeated blows'
'Will strike you down?!'
Uncs, love or blow
You should think thrice before giving it to me
Tell me why
Whatever you give me I return it in triple effect
'You don't know about me'
Get to know Start the BGM!

What brings you here, sir?
If you see from outside
Everything will look hunky-dory
Only when you step inside
True colors will be seen
"Only when clouds break and burst rain showers quench our thirst"
"Only when seeds slit and tear forests extend to expand everywhere"

[mobile ringing]
Arthi?
Did Ria come there?
Here?
No
- 'Isn't she back home yet?' - No
'It's so late 10:30 p.m'
I'm scared for her
What happened?
'She said she will be home after 1 hour from school'
Her phone is switched off from that time
Come, Sruthi, sit
Ria said she was going out with you
Was she with you?
She didn't meet me
Aiyo!
I think she has
Gone with a boy
A boy?
A boy she met on Buble
'Buble' means?
Buble is a dating app
Did you find out anything?
She has gone out with some boy it seems
With a boy?!
What were you doing then?
I knew right then, you are incapable of taking care of her
Then why didn't you look after her instead?
'Where were you all these days?'
What rights do you have now to even ask this question?
I am her father Who are you to poke your nose?
Do you remember your father status only after your daughter is missing?
When have you been a father to her?
You don't know her friends or anything about her life
You don't know her pain
Is it enough if you come here suddenly, jump and claim 'I am her appa'?
What is it now?
Do you want to fight?
Or you want to find her?
[mobile ringing]
- Tell me - Sir
We have tracked the call log of the # you gave us
Her phone was switched off in Palavakkam area at 5:00 p.m
Palavakkam?
In that area
They used to meet often in a coffee shop
Ria
Play the footage of the Exterior Camera
Freeze
'Zoom that cab #'
Kaliappan, have you tracked the route?
- That's a fake # plate, sir - Show me
Shit!
She clearly fell into human trafficking trap
Many girls have gone missing in this area
'Vast network'
'We touch 1 rowdy there that whole area will revolt'
Once the car crosses that arch
Chapter closed
'No two ways about this Ruthless people!'
Sir
- A man by name Antony- - Yov!
Shut up, man!
Don't I know to single out names?
'If someone gets into trouble following that lead?'
Who will take the responsibility?
'Sir, it will take 2-3 hours to mobilize our police force'
Your girl will be transported out by then
'No one who entered that area has been traced till date'
'Anyways, we will try to mobilize the force'
Earlier 2-3 mobsters were operating in that area, sir
'Only Antony is the kingpin now'
'Drugs, kidnapping He's the main criminal'
The whole area is under his control, sir
But till date, no one knows his whereabouts, sir
Whoever goes in there
Please don't mention his name
Which is Antony's house?
Hey! Who are you?
Huh? Police?
I presume you know whose area this is
A cab was spotted in this area at 5:15 p.m
A girl was kidnapped in that cab
I want that girl back
If Antony gets to know this matter
You'll be the 1st corpse in the cemetery at dawn, get out
I don't have time
Where is Antony?
Hey, man! You deaf or what?
'Hey! Wait'
- I want to meet Antony anna - Why, da?
He's coming
Who is the 'he'?
Hey!
- What, anna? - Go and check
Hey!
Where is Antony, I say?
Where is Antony?
Antony?
'He is Antony'
- Hahn?! - He is Antony
I asked you just now
Why do you need this kind of build-up?
Huh? Hey!
Your lackeys kidnapped a girl
Ria
You came this far looking for a girl, eh?
You made a grave blunder
Anyone can come into this area
But he can never leave
You can never trace her
This is what they said about you too!
Didn't I track you down?
Hey!
Try and see if you can save her
Who told you I intend saving her?
You will do the needful for me
Huh?
[mobile ringing]
- Bro? - Where are you?
Going to the harbor, bro
Turn back and bring the girls here
What happened, anna?
You heard me? Get back here
ANNA! JUST SAY YES
I'll make mincemeat out of him
Sir...!
Hey! Who is that?
When I get my feet on the ground
'I will first finish you off'
Appa!
Amma
In their growing years
...if children are deprived of love and affection from their parents
They will look for it outside the family
Their search can even end in a wrong venue
You've raised her for 14 years
I saw the agony in your eyes when she was missing for 3 hours
If their children drift away
Looks like even parents will feel the same way, da
Vijay
Let's go to our home
- Ria - Grandma
It's alright
Come
Dai! Come inside
'If their children drift away'
'Looks like even parents will feel the same way, da'
'Amma!'
Appa has come back
Forgive me
I'm sorry, uncle
Thank you
What's up?
Looking out of the balcony
Feel so good today, eh?
'Even I feel ditto!'
Ask her to leave
- 'Tell her to clear out' - Your sister-in-law is back now
- Women empowerment! - Oh!
Ask her to leave a little later
She's writing some story it seems
The title is unique 'Basement With 2 Wheelers'
'Based On True Events'
She was stuck in the climax So she came to me for an idea
What story?
A boy and a girl
That boy flipped for the girl big time
Why is it only the boy has to flip always, huh?
Won't girls fall for boys then?
- Aiyo! - Listen to the full story
O...oh, okay
One boy and one girl
Only the girl flipped for the boy
Now it fits well, right?
Listen to it fully please
The girl kind of misunderstood him
Now she is thinking of a reunion
If the boy says 'okay'
Her love will be a success and happy ending
- What will the boy say? - Exactly!
- How will you answer, da? - Whatever it is, I'll say 'okay'
You are from a desert! You'll say exactly that
But that boy won't say 'okay'
Because that girl has an ego to the distance of Erode!
NO!
Ignore him and think of that boy as me
- Will you tell me? - Get lost!
Let me repeat my story
One boy
One girl
Wow! This version is simply super
Listen to the story till the end
Why do I have to listen beyond this stage?
There's prologue, epilogue and emotions sandwiched in-between
Victory celebrated by families
I can even stick my head under a lorry
But in-between lovers
"Like lima beans teeth lined well Her words like pearls cast a spell"
[song from 'Uzhavaali']

My dear
Are you inside?
[ambulance siren wailing]
You'll be upset by what I have to tell you
I can't hide this any longer
He has been suffering
For the past 6 months from pancreatic cancer
We were able to save him in the nick of time
But anything can happen at anytime
I met Vijay in the airport
When I told him about his father's ailment
Not thinking even for a second
He raced back home bundling up all his dreams
'Contrary to what you think'
He didn't return hankering for power or position
For his appa's sake
He returned to ensure his father's last days are peaceful
So when you returned
It wasn't for your amma's sake
For your father's peace of mind
You used to tell me quite often
Instead of tolerating patiently It is easier to walk out, snapping all ties
How did you bear all this so patiently?
Jay
Brief Ajay and ask him to come home
He won't come, ma
Tell him about appa's condition
I already did, ma
He said, 'whatever happens he won't come back'
When 2 mountains get close to one another
Elevation is also increased
Today, Ajay Rajendran and I join hands
We are starting a company together
This get-together is to announce our partnership
Hey!
Let's go
I'm talking to you, come
Hey!
Where?
He is in the hospital
He insists on seeing you
- Come right now - Hey! Let go of my hand
I know he is lying in the hospital
I even know he is on his death bed
Look here
Whatever it is let's go home and discuss
We'll do whatever you want
Hey! Who the hell are you, da?
To do what I want, huh?
Whatever I want I will take it
You'll be a witness to it
Not only when he dies
I won't come when his body is on the funeral pyre
Go and convey this to him
'What wrong did I do, da?'
Did I raise him like that?
To be able to bear the hatred of their own children
No father or mother can endure
Dai!
You bent over backwards for your father
Do me this single favor. For your mother's sake
Bring him here
We've come a full circle, Mr Gautham
The deal slipped from my hand that day
'We are meeting again today'
Will you bet on a fit horse that can run fast?
Or a dying horse?
'Your $3 billion'
Invest in the company JP and I are starting
Your proposal seems interesting
But I have already signed the deal with him.
If I retract now
I will face a lot of legal complications
How is that possible?
I'm still the Managing Director of that company
I have all the rights to cancel the deal
'This is the No Objection Certificate'
Looks good, let me have a word with him
We will sign this deal
That's it
Let's go home
Dai!
Will you take turns calling me?
Aren't you ashamed?
I am not an emotional fool like you
I don't want this family
Get lost!
Even I was stupid thinking like you
I realized only now
A family is bound by bonds of love
Affection, relationship, everything
I'm talking, right?
Continue...continue
[snickering]
We were living under the same roof
- Think of those times - Hey! I can't come, da
- Get lost! - Didn't I tell you?
You are playing the tune of family ties, temple in his ears
He doesn't know the meaning of emotion, move aside
I'll deal with him
What now?
You won't come, right?
I won't come
We are severing our ties too
Go... get out of here
If you stay 1 minute longer
The plump hen to be slaughtered
...was dancing to 'Arabic kuththu' in front of the butcher's stall
They ripped its legs apart and barbecued it to perfection
Didn't get it?
As the chairman I am terminating you
...as the Managing Director of the company
You didn't think I would do this, eh?
If you don't want your family
...this family also doesn't need you
Gautham sir
He and this company
Gautham sir
Gautham sir, listen to me
He is blabbering, sir
I'll take care of the legal problems, sir
'Sir'
But don't think I'm blackmailing you, sir
I hinted discreetly to you, sir
- Don't hold any grudges, sir - Hey!
Sir, please hear me out
- Sir...sir - Gautham sir
Aiyo!
He zip zap zoomed!
Hey! Did you catch a glimpse?
Wasn't that emotion?
He can get emotional, da
Aiyo! Aggression
Rage...feelings
'He has a wide range of emotions'
Oh! He feels this entire spectrum He just doesn't show it only to us
I swear I will-
This is an attacking anna
Attracting anna
Awe-inspiring brother Accommodating brother!
Amazing anna Awesome anna!
Perfect bro Peerless bro!
Get lost, dumbo!
Do you know how it feels now?
If someone slaps you in your face and walks away?
He has rejected you Same pinch from us too
Let me see if anyone else who rejected you is here-
JP sir
[Telugu] Hello, JP sir
[Telugu] Say something, JP sir
Are you playing a game stringing everyone along?
I'll make my move, want to watch?
Please move and groove, sir
Hey!
If you want their smiles to run many miles
If you want to your father to writhe in pain
You have only one way
All your shares put together
Will it all to me I'll show them who is boss
When we were kids, he won't even part with a chocolate
How will he part with 30 billion shares?
Why is sir glaring daggers at me?
Try your luck, sir
I won't give you
I am glad to say 'I told you so'
He is middle brother Selfish brother, sir
He won't give if you ask
Sir!
We are expecting a clap moment and a whistle moment!
This is a bit on the meek side
Hey!
Who gave you a choice?
You have to will your shares to me
You have to repay the loans you took from me
If I sell 10% of my shares I will close my loans with you
Look at that!
Didn't you read the agreement you signed?
You can't sell a single share without my permission
[quiet chuckle]
Goodness gracious!
Did you get fooled?
Hey!
How much I trusted you!
- You backstabbed me - Hey!
You backstabbed your own family
You are a fine one to talk about being a traitor!
What a perfect punch line! You are a different level, chief
Bingo 'clap moment'
'Chellam, love you!'
'Chellam, love you!' [from 'Ghilli']
You are sticking to your character right from the 1st scene
He is the dumbo bro!
He deserves this
Hey!
He has to sign all his shares to my name
Don't spare him. Bash him black and blue.
If someone trespasses into my space
Bash them to a deep purple too!
This is wrong This is not right
You grab his share or buy beer Be happy or haggle till you die
Why do you drag our audience into this?
- So you won't come in, no? - No
- You won't come in - I may change my mind
Hey!
Punch him to a paste
What are you doing, eld bro?
Did he ask you for help?
Didn't he drop you like a hot potato?
Plus if you alone go and save him won't he look at me like I'm a villain?
'Are you trying to score over me?'
- He's my younger brother - Oh my God!
'Thambi', eh?
I'm your younger brother too
You tried to run over me with a huge container
Step back, da
We shouldn't offer our hand without being asked
Let middle bro ask for help
If he asks for help won't we lend a hand?
- He's hitting Ajay - Ask him to come over
Let him take just 1 single step to our side
Then I'll show them how I feel when they bash up my brother
Do you want to die being beaten black and blue?
You won't bend Such a stubborn character!
Neither will he step in unasked
Sign your shares over to me
At least save your life
I trusted you much more than my own bloodline
'You showed me your true colors, eh?'
Even though I got bashed up so bad
Do you know why I didn't ask him to help?
Every single drop of blood that dripped from my body now
My way of asking all of them for their forgiveness
DAI!
If I take one step towards that side
Do you know what he will do to you?
Wait and watch
'Thambi'
The stage is all yours!
Finish him off
Come on
Uncs JP dear!
Come
I won't do anything to you Don't be scared, come
When I've slammed up all your thugs how long will it take for me to smash you?
But I can't do that
You must be the same age as my father
What do you want?
You have to win, that's all?
Okay, you have won
We must lose, hmmm?
We have lost
All you want is that $3 billion deal?
Take it
I'll hand it on a golden platter to you
But for what joy?
You and my appa competed all your lives with each other
What does he lack now?
Money, power What is beyond his reach?
You know what he asked in the end?
A peaceful death
Only when you put a full stop to your life you know the quality of your existence
Even that is in your hands!
Listen
Life is
Not to win or lose
But to live
He won't come, right?
I don't know as your father whether to thank you or not
When I should have held your hand as a toddler
I was never by your side
But as soon as I asked
Forsaking your plans and dreams
Holding my hand
You gave me more than what I asked
I haven't done anything for you, son
I may not have walked the path you walked
But you were the one who taught me to walk!
Whatever the problems between a father and a son
To a son, his father is his first hero
You are my hero, Dad.
Love you, Dad.
'Are you happy here, mother?'
'You just won't understand even if I answer this'
'I understand now, ma'
'A family is not created from its name or bloodline'
'It gains strength with love and trust'
'To be there for them when they need you'
'Even if it is tough to like or accept them to be by their side in times of need'
'To defend each other come rain or shine'
'Every family will have its share of flaws and wants'
'But what we have is'
'Only 1 family'
'No family is perfect'
'But we have only 1 family'
