'Generally My Heart is Gold'
'Alampadi - 3:00 a.m'
'He shouldn't cross our village limit'
'He is Ganesan'
'Hails from Koothapadi'
'Usually he doesn't run He chases others!'
'But if he's running today...'
'...lives of 600 people depend on him'
'Before sunrise...'
'...if he doesn't reach the border his village will be destroyed'
'If he and his village are fighting for survival...'
'...the reason is Oothukaattaan'
'9 months ago'
'Oothukaattaan'
'Even an ant will know this man!'
'He is the 1st person to attend any function in any place'
'Fame is his middle name'
'All he clamors for is...'
'Fame...fame...fame'
'Only fame, I say'
'But if anyone else usurps that name and fame'
'...he will be beside himself with rage'
'He will even part with a share from his assets'
'But if his name or fame is jeopardized...'
'...he will do anything'
'He will go to any extent'
Boss, I have tea But it isn't hot
It has to burn, right?
'I don't understand'
'Bro, shall I set fire?'
Hey, just do it when I tell you
- 'Okay, boss' - Oh! That heat
- Do it now - Yes, boss
'He confronts the Govt'
'Counting bars is confirmed'
I didn't think anything
- I thought so too - Shall I start?
How else will we move?
Hey! Check if Oothukaattaan is coming
Don't shout, old hag! He will come
Boss
Don't go alone, bro
Listen to me
'Our savior is here'
Doesn't she bathe?
She'll want extra payment then!
You must tell the world I was a Godsend
Make sure you say it right
You came in the nick of time like God and saved me
Don't go in
She might blabber Be with her
- Grandma, drink water - No ice water?
- Ice water?! - My grandson is stuck there
- Come out - Let's go
'I will pay your wedding expenses'
'Look for a bride like Hansika You'll be blessed'
1st tell what you've been taught
You are our God who saved our family
You'll live for 100 years
- Take them to a hospital - Give them water
- You're God, bro - This is every man's duty
Are we showing off because the collector is here?
Not at all, bro
Least concerned with your life you've saved 2 lives
- Get that shawl - Nothing great
Koothapadi's population is only around 600
- If 2 die - 588 will be left
Stupid! 598 people
You're killing 10 more
- Which village? - Koothapadi
- As per our records, population is 2000 - That was 10 years ago
This village won't qualify for basic health care
- Let's hold the project - Very good
Please don't take any drastic action
Why don't you choose Alampadi which is in the center of 7 villages?
And set up your health clinic
The 600 residents of Koothapadi can walk all the way to get treated
Please do the needful, sir
Good idea I'll consult my superiors
Thank you very much
'If Koothapadi had 2000 residents...'
'...and now only 600 reside'
'The reason is the way he was humiliated in this same village'
'Temple of Goddess Draupadi'
Whose function is this? Are they out-of-towners?
Stop that tonsure
'Time isn't auspicious to do this'
'It's a sacred vow Why stop that?'
A bad event happened here, so no ritual can be performed in the temple premises
Stop the tonsure
Just give us 10 minutes
We'll tonsure and pierce her ears
During such times, the priest won't enter the temple
The shrine should be closed
If you still disregard tradition this village will be cursed
God belongs to all of us, not just you
We are inhabitants of this village
Once she is married your duty is over
How will we finish the tonsure? Where will we go?
There are many other temples you can go to
How dare you!
[angry voices]
Keep quiet
Stop fighting
Pack everything and get out of the temple
I don't want to create trouble between 2 villages
Please leave, sir
You leave too We'll take care
Please disperse
Listen to me Please leave
Oothukaattaan, heart-wrenching to see my granddaughter like this
- Why should I be alive to see this? - Don't cry, ma
'I would rather die than stand this insult'
'I don't want to live'
You are my family deity
You circumambulate my village only once a year
And because the rest of the year You are here, I was humiliated
I will evacuate this village
I'll take you back to my village
I will pierce my child's ears then
'My God can be without festivities'
But She will be consecrated in my village
'In Mahabharath, because Draupadi sneered at him, Duryodhana exiled the Pandavas'
'Similarly Oothukaattaan, in order to take revenge...'
'...is slowly evacuating the residents of Koothapadi'
What about the job I referred for you?
The job is in Tiruppur We will be shifting shortly
Alright Godspeed
Boss, at this rate, looks like you'll evacuate all the villagers here
'One should not live in a village without a temple' is an adage
If there are no residents...
...why do we need a temple or the deity?
Where will the deity go?
To my village
And stay there permanently
These residents will visit my village to pierce their children's ears
Then I will show my true colors!
'Once he decides to destroy he won't use poison'
'He will kill with sweets and sugary words'

[Song from 'Amman Kovil Kizhakale']
'- This tea shop? - This is it'
Bro, we want to meet Tiger Pandi
Cut the kite loose Sir will be here
We named ourselves 'Tiger' after the brave lineage
And used it as a symbol on our kite
Who is the rogue who dared to cut it recklessly?
I did
'Instead of lurking he's leaping!'
'I will somehow manage'
Your reason for cutting it?
Our road roller is lost, I want to see your friend Ganesan
Bravo! I thought as much
Last week an American came in search of his satellite
My friend found it on the neighboring terrace
A Russian came looking for his submarine
My friend dived in the pond in the next village and rescued it
Actress Shruti Haasan lost her heart
And was hunting for it for a week
My friend said 'it is here' and told her so
I'm not joking, don't glare at me like 'The Joker'
All that's fine
When will the boy be here?
Now that you are here he would've been notified
Wait in the office He'll come in a bit
Where is that?
You are at the reception of my office now
Is this your office?
Hey! Office boy
With your stale milk make tea for them
Okay, sir
"Go back to your hometown dutifully Gain name and fame for your country duly"
'How's that? I told you so'
'He is here, as promised'
'You took our road roller and making us run behind you!'
Ganesan
You wear normal glasses, okay Why another at the back?
How will the chap behind me know I'm wearing one on my face?
So the one behind is a substitute
Stupid of me to have asked!
You leave
- Hello, boss - Hello, Tiger
Why are they all crowding in here?
They've come looking for you
Oh! Is it your road roller?
Is it something you can lose? Shouldn't you take good care?
I found it, you can hand over the keys
You think we are dimwits?
Your stole our road roller and used it happily for your roads
When we asked you for it, you made us drive from Coimbatore to Kumbakonam
Rs 50,000 down the drain
Rent plus all expenses inclusive pay us Rs 108000
- Bro, how much is 1 glass of tea? - Rs 8, sir
I won't even pay 8 bucks
Let's go to the station
- Your train comes in much later - We meant 'Police' station
Let us go to court, man
Ma, this is the 100th Panchayat we are contesting
Congratulations
Give it to them point by point
'Now watch the drama'
As long as his father was alive he was such a Good Samaritan
My son is following his path
Last week he helped a pregnant lady...
...deliver her baby on the way to the hospital
We are unable to sell our crops
Students have no proper roads to walk to school
All this was troubling my son
Heavy hearted, he saw this road roller by the side of the road
He rectified our roads Is that a crime?
You've dragged him for this arbitration
She's an advocate mother instead of an 'advising amma'
Sir, I've left my business unattended
Please lend me your ears
Keep quiet, bro
In the name of doing a good deed every time your son blunders
We are forced to pay penalty Our coffers are empty
Our hands are empty
- What to do now? - You can all beg together
You don't prefer that?
Accept whatever cash is available
For the balance amount take those 4 oldies with you
Make them work 24x7
After 4 or 5 months...
...we'll settle the account and take their bodies
Is this okay with you?
- What? - Okay
- Get them - Whaaat?
'Will you dare take them away?'
'Let me see you do that'
11 cups of tea
10 vegetable fritters 4 'bondas' and 7 buns
- 'Such a pain' - 3 packets of 'beedi'
First settle the dues
And then do what you wish
Thank God, he added our bill in that account
Hey! Stop it
Given a chance you'll sell us!
You aren't saleable commodity
Ganesan, anyway you have no work
Why torture us like this?
- Hello! Who is jobless? - Well said!
Born in one place, he studies in another village and settles somewhere else
How many are loyal to their native place?
If one does, the village will flourish If all think alike, our nation will develop
Then very soon it will be a super power
I'm struggling only for India to become a super power!
Do we have such a huge goal to achieve?
- Yes, good - Goody-good!
Ganesan, if you continue like this your name will be tarnished
We'll store his name in a fridge, don't worry
Burly man! Fame is not my criteria My village is my priority
I'll take care of you in the next Panchayat
Next time Panchayat can meet in WhatsApp
Otherwise get us a walkie-talkie
- Shut up, 'Trouser' - I never wear one!
Why do they rule the roost?
Oothukaattaan has promised to build a factory here
If jobless chaps like him start working who will trouble us?
That's okay, what about cash now?
Let us go about knocking door to door as usual
This has become routine, we'll be forced to sell our lands next time
Don't give
I've been a silent witness all along
Why should you pay for his mistakes?
Listen, you don't know about Ganesan
His father was a teacher
He was our supporter, guide and guardian
No doctor is willing to live here
If we bring a lawyer here he takes bribes from the opponent
So his father sponsored 2 of his students...
...to become a doctor and lawyer
'To bring them both back home Ganesan went to Chennai'
Why did you come to take us back to a village without even a toilet?
Ganesan, you have no future in that place
We don't have a driver You might as well work for us
My father spent his savings to make you a doctor
You want me to be your driver!
Why didn't you study then?
Knowing I'm not inclined he educated you both
Hey! Stop the car
'He gets angry at the drop of a hat'
Stupid
Hey! Wait
Why do you keep harping your father educated us?
Here...write whatever he spent on us
What my father did was charity
But what I'm giving is alms!
I know how to take care of my village
Keep your money
Ganesh...wait
'After that he has been serving his village'
I mistook him to be a jobless jerk
His inclination towards social service is commendable
Give the money, aunt
- Good? - Goody good!

'Hi friends, in our All-pass Tutorial...'
'...a VIP is here to meet all of us'
Yes, I'm coming
I am here That's alright
Warm greetings to all
Only a malnourished child needs our support
We felicitate the winner in a race with trophies
We forget to motivate those who lag behind
Scores don't matter to a student
Only self-respect is important
So I'm here to felicitate the 3 students who scored the least in our entire district
Santosh stands 3rd from last in our district scoring 191/1200
Congratulations
This is for you
A mobile?
Bro, quest is missing in your life
Google Uncle is in here
- Uncle? - Yes
Search what you need to study
- Make sure you improve - Sure, sir
You can go
What do you feel at this moment?
At this moment
I must thank my parents
They will set an alarm for 10:00 a.m
- I won't get up - '10:00 a.m?'
Mother will give me coffee at 11:00a.m, I won't drink it
My father will use his favorite cuss words at 12
I'll turn a deaf ear
I need to thank 1 more person specifically
My friend Kumar
If he hadn't shown his paper for me to copy I won't be here!
Thanks, Kumar
Thanks for the big opportunity
You beat me hollow!
- Try to wake up little early - I'll try, sir
Thanks, madam
The penultimate last position in the district goes to Satish
Don't feel shy Come forward
Your special prize is this
The reason you failed is...
...you wasted time following a girl trying to find a girl's mobile number
This is her number
If you call her she won't answer
If you pass your exam...
...she has agreed to ditch her boyfriend and date you for a while
- Godsend! - No...no...no
Don't fall at my feet Show your gratitude in your score
Madam, my opinion-
You need not express any crap
First whisper Then share your views
Next student in our district I would even say in the state...
...who scored 99/1200
And won the 1st place from the last is Leelavathy
That's alright
For the past 4 years, you have set a record of failing continuously
The main reason
You eat whatever you see and wish 24x7 and at all odd hours
It has resulted in excess flabs of fat in you
So the perfect prize for you
The more your feet pedal...
...your fat will fall in place
Then your stagnant brain will be enlightened
Then who knows, you may even be state topper!
I don't want the others to feel bad
You get consolation prizes
Please come to the stage
Here...this is for you
- 'Don't feel shy' - Thanks, sir
Did everyone get a prize?
Place a peacock feather in your book Memorize and pass in flying colors, okay?
We awarded a prize to the boy who stood 1st in this district?
Check the page it has been reported
Only this news has been reported
'Youngster who thought out of the box!'
Why are you crumpling the newspaper?
I'll bring the reporter to you
I've brought him Proceed
Your face looks worn out in this too!
I spent Rs 867675 and 45 paise, gathered a crowd, set up a stage
I awarded prizes to top ranking students to produce a few doctors and collectors
To make our country a super power
Other than that, if you write about my noble deed, people will praise me
I harbor no such demeaning thoughts
In the same newspaper you've carried an article about a youngster prominently
I'm not the kind to feel jealous, got it?
So many people are gifting pens, pencils, erasers, notebooks for those who pass
But this boy thought out of the box
That's why we added the photo
'I feel he will go places'
'He will remove his glasses now Lamb for the slaughter is ready'
Why rattle predictions all of a sudden?
Let go of me
Hey! Stop it!
You've thrashed a reporter and compressed him!
Send him over
Look how merciless they are!
They are kiln workers, right?
Please come
Careful Please sit
Bring juice for sir
Dumbass!
You're sitting on par with him, get up, I say
Oh God!
What are you gawking at?
Focus on your work
[loud wail]
'Not bad, he has learnt to make tea!'
Sir, you've become very famous with your photo in the papers, sir
Don't lay it thick Go make tea
'The paper had photos of those who died of swine flu also'
So did they become famous?
- Humans get swine flu - Okay
Why don't pigs catch swine flu?
Why look at me pointedly?
I can only ask a pig!
This is why I shouldn't associate with you
When did we hang around with you?
'Good morning, sir'
Morning
'They are greeting him with respect'
'These 2 are sitting tight here?'
- Why aren't they respecting you? - If they get up it's just respect
Only when they don't it's a challenge for us
- Whatever you say sounds new - Watch now
Ganesan
I'm Oothukaattaan
Your father was very fond of me
I read your article
It is more painful for those who lose than the winner
The losers should be praised
You've said so and taught me a lesson
I must do something for you
What are you doing now?
- Plucking...! - What...?
Nail...here it is
You asked him, huh?
In this society who employs or endorses social service?
He's quite jobless
Why don't you stop pulling out nails?
You can join my bro's company as a driver or conductor
People claim if you work, you'll start sweating!
Don't be silly
Nothing of that sort, sir
You gain respect being an employer rather than being an employee
So you want to start your own business
- Give me that car key - Why...?
To give him the key
Will he ask us to wash his car?
Here, keep this car with you
- Are you suffering from piles? - No, finance problem
It's okay
Start a Travel agency with this
From 1 car, expand it to 9
Give jobs to a few
Then the remaining cars will be idle
Note down his number
Your phone number or address
You presented gifts to students
I'm giving you a gift for you to succeed in life
If what you gave was right...
...there's nothing wrong in taking this
'Accept it'
Okay, sir, since you follow my route...
...I'll drive the car in your route!
Sir, why are you taking the bus?
I'll drop you in your car
You said you'll drive in my route
Every vehicle in this route...
...belongs to me
Bro...?
Usually you do more harm than good to this village
For the 1st time you've done a good deed
I'm feeling very happy
Don't be over-joyed!
Buddy?
He gave me his car
For 4 days we will drive happily around
5th day, the car will run out of fuel
We'll ask my mother for money
Poor lady, how long will she give us money?
Left with no choice he'll park along with the other tourist cabs
Otherwise we'll make it happen!
The drivers there are jobless
How will he get any business?
So what he will do is...
...fall at the feet of friends and family, beg and plead
He will drive his car for weddings and ceremonies
He himself is a driver
For his level he will hook a disheveled, sloppy girl
It will bloom into love, culminate in marriage and a baby will be born too
To feed and educate that child he will borrow all over the place
Finally one fine day, he'll sell the car and will be c/o the sidewalk!
Do you think he would've given this car for me to end up a pauper?
Dude, he gave you the car for you to rise and shine in life
And you're suspecting him!
This is just a day's income for him
- Won't be with bad intentions, right? - No way
Father is useless How will the son study?
He will fail 12th grade and be a couch potato
That day...on that particular day-
I want to go and give him a gift
Then
Then...then...on that day this entire village will...
...app-laud us
- App - Laud!
Oothukaattaan, who gave us this car...
...didn't know to give us money to fill up fuel
Find out where we can get fuel
Hey! Tender-coconut man
- That's a drumstick tree - I know that
I was checking if you did
Where can you get petrol?
If you go into the village you'll reach a 'bank'
A bank in this village?
'There's an ATM close by too'
'If you go down that street you'll find a Govt grocery shop'
'A hospital is being built right next to it'
'if you go past that...'
'...you'll come across a big water tank in the center'
'Look there, he's holding a water tank in his palm'
Let's meet Ramalingam who has changed this small village into Singapore...
...follow his route
...and change our Koothapadi into mini Japan!
Our car has stalled with no fuel
We are standing in the middle of a street
Let's first fuel up and then change our village into a mini Japan
Watch it, might get caught in the wheel!
Sorry...!
Who is this Ramalingam?
Is he very well off?
He has posters of himself all over the place
He's just a pipsqueak!
He was working with me
I fired him because he stole 1/2 a liter petrol
I guessed as much seeing all his disguises
He has changed this village by stealing
What did he change?
What can he do when jobless?
He fell in love, that too with Oothukaattaan's sister
That's when this place hit a jackpot!
Oothukaattaan wants his sister to lead a comfortable life, he loves her a lot
So he made all these amenities
Did he get his sister married to this village or Ramalingam?
Let's hear the whole story
'Our Fuel lord, gold mine Sheikh Ramalingam's petrol bunk'
That useless chap is coming He's such a bad omen!
"O' maharaja...!"
Here comes Kamal Haasan in 'Dasavathaaram'
He looked awful in the hoarding
- In person? - Even worse!
Are you new to this village?
You're sitting in this shop?
He'll mix sand in petrol and sell I'm opening a bunk next week, come there
Are you opening a bunk with just half liter petrol?
- What...? - No...nothing
- Bro was praising you sky high! - Yes, bro
It's a habit for you to get insulted at every stop
Take care Get home safe
My number is on the hoarding Call me if you need help, okay?
Does your wife have a number?
No, only I have a phone!
- If I call you, can I talk to her? - I'll clobber you!
- Thank you - Tiger
I've tried giving petitions from collector to councilors
Nothing is happening to our village
I've decided to bring all these facilities to our village
Dude, I understood
Bunk owner...?
Does Oothukaattaan have another sister?
I asked on your behalf, buddy
Bunk owner, does he have a daughter?
He has a beautiful daughter waiting to get married
Why didn't I think of this? My mistake!
If he goes out of his way for his sister...
...then how much more he'll do for his daughter?
'His brainwaves are miles ahead!'
Good...?
Goody-good!
You can give the wedding gift by way of cash or check
We are obliged to accept it in whatever form
'For those who haven't brought cash...'
'...we've made arrangements to swipe credit or debit cards'
You are dressed like a groom in silken finery
Tiger...?
Meeting my girlfriend for the 1st time
Only if I make a grand entry...
...I can make a deep imprint in her heart
Tell me
Ganesh from Koothapadi village who has come uninvited
'His friend and stooge...'
...Mr Tiger Pandi
'10 more minutes for lunch to be served'
Dogs who vie for freebies are ridiculing us
- Let's leave - Tiger
- Saw that hoarding? - What?
'Oothukaattaan is attending this wedding with his family'
I won't leave without seeing my girl!
Is that right? Then let's find out
Bro, just wait
- Don't - Keep quiet
Why don't we wait?
I'm interested So I'm enquiring
- Will they serve meat for lunch? - Vegetarian meal
Such a big moustache for a no-meat meal, go
Let's go
'Mr Oothukaattaan is unable to grace this event...'
'...as he is attending the minister's son's wedding'
He won't come Let's leave
Wait, she'll come with her mother
'Mrs Oothukaattaan is attending the MLA's son's wedding'
'She's also unable to grace this event'
Both her parents are not coming
Are they serving meat there?
Let us also go there
'Oothukaattaan's only daughter'
'Golden star, Miss Beautiful is arriving'
'She has arrived'
'To bless the newly wedded couple'
'Good lord!'
'Next student in our district I would even say in the state...'
'...who scored 99/1200'
My dear buddy
She is an eye-catcher and head turner
She's such a dunce, I say
Dumbass, huh?
She won't be my ideal match
She'll be a good catch for me
Shall I start doing good deeds for our village?
Go ahead
[holy chant]
They didn't serve 'vada' at all
I want to eat 'vada' So buy some for me
- Excuse me - Huh...?
I don't want to beat around the bush
In my life, if I buy a ticket...
...someone else watches the film!
If I buy a coffee token...
...someone else gets to drink it
If I go for a feast someone else eats in my place
To make matters worse, if I wash my undies and dry it on the clothesline
...some other chap wears it
'Such is my life'
But this morning
A sudden accident
- On the road? - No
Heart...! In my heart
They say some accidents will turn one's life topsy-turvy
Today it tumbled my life upside down
- You don't get it, right? - Not one bit
'Dunce of the 1st order'
A piece of good news
- I'm in love with you - I'll thrash you
Who wrote 'Thirukkural'?
How many alphabets in ABCD? 'Trapped her!'
What is 5-3?
You don't know, right?
- Are you married? - No
- Is your mother married? - I'll clobber you!
Please forgive me
Let me spill it out
This isn't my speech at all
Do you see that chap over there?
He wanted to express his love for you
He made me say it instead
He's holding a love letter in his hand for you
My bad time, I got caught
It's his bad time!
He got caught with me
You go, I'll deal with him
- Hello...? - Yes...!
Oh! It's you
Did you gift me a cycle with a hidden agenda?
Don't tear it
Please don't
Please don't tear it to pieces
It's my appointment order!
- Why did you tear it? - Appointment order?
He told me it's a love letter
So many will lie glibly
Will you be so gullible?
- Sorry - What do you mean 'sorry'?
Can you set it right with a 'sorry'?
It's my life In tatters now!
Antagonistic towards me you took revenge on me, right?
That chap pretended to be naive and deceived me
If I can get hold of him, I won't spare his life
Dumbass! He is the one pulling a fast one!
If you get him, let me know
I'll punch my share too
How do I contact you?
You have a phone, right? Give me your number
This is my number, call me when you're free, we'll catch up
She's ignoring me royally!
I'm hopping mad now
Don't even stand in front of me
'How can I cool him down?'
By the way, did you eat?
You want to know if I ate?
You thought I am like you?
I don't eat when I'm angry
'I don't like your squid eyes one bit'
Please go
- I'll leave - Wait...wait
If you attend a wedding and leave without eating...
...the marriage won't be consummated it seems
- What? - Bride is already pregnant
That's why the wedding was fixed in a hurry
You must eat Come with me
Eat...have your fill The sweet is yummy
'Thank God, I pacified him'
- Why are you upset? - No, I'm not
You're feeling guilty you robbed a good man of his job
- Your eyes say so! - No
- Hiccup? Someone is thinking of you - Must be you
Looks like you'll lie awake tonight
And profess your love to me tomorrow in the playground at 8:30 a.m
- No, of course not - You will
- See you - I know you will, trust me
You'll profess your love at 8:30 tomorrow
'Looks like my plan worked'
Hello?
Hey! You there
Respect on the decline!
I called only you Please come here
Can you see my red eyes?
Yes, you wouldn't have slept last night
You must have been thinking about me, right?
That's so not true
This redness is because I didn't think at all and had a good night's sleep
Your eyes are red
Did you also sleep well?
This redness is because of lack of sleep last night
What troubled you like it is the end of the world?
All because of you
Random strangers called me at 2:00 a.m
And asked me if the girl in a green sari at the wedding hall kissed me?
What are you saying?
Not my words or thoughts That's the general talk
Wait, there's more
A reporter called me at an unearthly time as 4:00 a.m
The girl riding a black Kinetic Honda rape-
Why are people imagining all this?
Remove your hand I'll tell you
You fed me that 'laddu', right?
Someone took a snap and posted it on Facebook
15000 'likes' for that photo
I was so embarrassed
Are there so many jobless idiots?
Yes, nowadays no one calls me Ganesh
They have knighted me as 'Leela-lover'
Your name is the prefix for my nickname!
Leela-lover Soooper pair!
Who are you? Are you from North Africa or South Africa?
Ignore him
Will anyone feel bad for this? You attend to your work
How can I? My wedding has been cancelled
- Were you engaged? - Yes
I was engaged to a Tahsildar's daughter
When I lost my job, they were hesitant
When they saw our photo together they cancelled the wedding
You tore my appointment order I lost my job
You fed me that sweet Even my wedding was stopped
Go and sleep without a care in the world!
I am sure to find a pond or well somewhere so I can-
Don't worry
I'll stay awake and think tonight
I will come up with a brainwave tomorrow
Don't eat 'vada' and sleep without thinking
Ride safe Bye
Do you know the time now?
Eat fast It's already so late
'Nowadays no one calls me Ganesh'
'They have knighted me as Leela-lover'
'Your name is the prefix for my nickname!'
Hey madcap! Why are you talking only about him since yesterday?
Hey! Wait
'Can they be called 'girls'?!'
'They are chasing me like rowdies!'
- 'How will I escape?' - Wait, man
'- Give me this saree - That's the financier's wife's saree'
'- Not your wife's, right? - Nab him'
Hey! Wait
Wear this Tshirt You'll look good in it
He isn't that chap
[mimics]
If you touch me my broom will talk!
Akka, did you see a chap in this Tshirt?
If you hold the Tshirt how can he wear it, madcap
- You are the madcap! - How dare you say that
- Wait - Give me the Tshirt
'They are very persistent'
'I have no clue where I'm heading'
'Thank god, they left Oh! They are back!'
Wait, girls
- You go that side - Let's search
Tell me, Leela
I trapped the chap who confused us
Come right now to Tutorial college lane
Don't talk to him
He is very dangerous I'll come immediately
'Gawd! Which alley leads where I am so confused'
- Caught him - Whack him, girls
Don't let him escape
Pound him to a pulp
First wash your 'dupatta'
Stinking to high heaven!
You want to hit a man aim for his chest
Otherwise?
Make him bend Target his back
- He is a smart-ass - Show him our women-power!
I told you to nab him Not bash him
Let go of him
'Good lord! He is caught'
'Wonder if he coughed up the truth'
'Let me manage'
I will kill you for sure
Please wait...wait
- Don't hit him - Why?
- After thinking whole of last night - You thought and...?
He is the reason we are talking now
That's why I adopted him as my brother
But I won't accept a rogue as my brother-in-law!
- Wait - I won't leave you
- He can go for the Oscars! - Listen to me
I'm in a murderous rage
'He will close my chapter Someone please save me'

Someone is calling you
- Tell him I'll call back - It's an important call, bro
- Shut up and do it - Okay, bro
Look how lavish my mother-in-law's house is
You are the sole heir for all this
- Namaste, sir - Good afternoon
Ganesh, how are your vehicles running?
- On petrol only! - Why not on wheels?!
If he starts he'll talk nonstop Let's focus on our work
Sir, instead of driving for 4 years and being of use to 4 people
I have got an opportunity to be of use for 400 people
So I have come to return your car
What is that golden opportunity?
How can I tell you?
- Dude - What are you doing?
'How can I tell him?'
- He is reacting weirdly - Don't ask me, bro
- I am feeling shy - Shall I tell him?
He has fallen in love with a girl from a rich family like yours
He is feeling shy to tell you it seems
Is the girl's father aware of this?
He doesn't know, right?
That man is slow on the uptake, sir
Even if the bride's father is a tube light...
...if the groom-to-be is a fused bulb how will he be accepted?
Whatever you say sounds new
Take me for instance I am a transport owner
How should my son-in-law be?
He should at least own a Travel agency
How will the father accept a nobody?
If we make a wisecrack he quips with a pun intended!
Ganesh, hang a yellow board on your vehicle
Only then her father will wave a green flag!
Here
Accept gracefully your father-in-law's dowry
Okay, sir, we generally don't listen to anyone
But because the girl's father said so-
You have a daughter too
Then you must be right
See you, sir Bye, anna
Was that man's idea meant for my love to be accepted?
Or was it to ensure I get rejected?
Affluent girls prefer boys who drive a car and wear snazzy shirts
They won't even look twice at a driver clad in white
You future father-in-law has given you valuable tips
You are suspecting him
I will make him spin in a different way
Forget it, let us invent a new 'Travel's Day' and prove our worth
'My dear passengers'
'You pay for your transport the whole year through'
'Only on this day we offer you free travel to any destination'
'We have set aside a day as 'Travel's day' for you'
'Fully free...free...free'
They promised to make us pilots when we are jobless now
What is their plan?
Wait, man
Look at this
We thought you will invite Asin and Anushka for the inauguration
You've brought girls in mini dress
- Aren't they pretty? - I like them
You would have only heard of air hostesses till now
- Have you heard of car hostess? - Car hostess, huh?
You call your cleaner 'kili' or parrot
But we've brought a parrot to play the hostess
Just for you
That means both the parrots are for me
- Take your hand off - Why are you fighting like kids?
The girls will be decided on lots basis
- Okay with that? - Superb
Start to shuffle
Try your luck
- Alphonsa - Go
Very good Clap...clap
She is your car hostess
Introduce yourself
My name is Prakash
I'm called Banuprakash by everyone Do you know why?
I'm a diehard fan of Banupriya the actress
I've even named my car Banupriya
I run my car under that name
Even you resemble Banupriya
Done with your introduction? She doesn't know Tamil
Go, oil is leaking from your engine
- Excuse me - Yes
Do you know who is presiding this Travel's day-
No, not me Ganes-
'She is quite a stunner!'
Er...that's me
Can we take an interview of you?
'I can take you and we can even have grandchildren'
Sir, mike has to be set Can I fix it?
- Sure...sure - Thank you
What is this Travel's day?
It's refreshingly new
Good question
In this world we celebrate Father's Day, Mother's Day
Friendship Day
Even youngsters like us celebrate a Lovers' Day
- What? - I mean
There are so many days, so we thought we can start a Travel's Day
What is your motive?
No...no, I don't want to become Modi!
God help me! I wanted to know about your goal
My ambition...if you ask me all of a sudden, what can I say?
- My goal - Big deal
Move aside
Dude, you have your own satellite
Why are you interested in this local channel?
I knew you will mess it up That is why I came
- Aiyo! - Mike please
Breaking News? I'll share my views
My ambition is to elevate this small Travel company, step by step...
...into a major transport company
I want to start school bus, ambulance and water tanker service in my name
My only aim is to serve the common man
You seem to equate yourself to a doctor claiming to serve the public?
You'll respect doctors who save patients
Won't you respect drivers who save so many passengers' lives?
We regard doctors as God
How can we consider drivers like you the same way?
Why not?
4 people in an auto 7 passengers in a car
'20 in a tempo, 50 in a bus 100 passengers in a plane'
1000 in a ship 1500 in a train
Every driver who escorts them safely...
...is God for sure!
They serve night and day for a lifetime
Even when his life is at stake he saves a whole family
Why can't transport companies give him 10% of their profit?
You couldn't shut him up like this
He asked for a share
He's the king, just and fair!
Uncle, even you own 7 to 8 buses
Have you ever been interviewed in TV or radio?
'With just 1 car he is rocking!'
Only with his support, you can be the leader of your Bus Owners' union
'You are only fit to attend calls'
'Coolers ready'
'I am married to his sister'
'Why are you punching me?'
Enough, leave him
Uncle, couldn't you say this before they bashed me up!
They started hitting before I could speak
- You want hot water fomentation? - I'll ask your sister to do so
'What a solid blow!'
Why are you tense?
- Who is tense? - You are cool as a cucumber!
Am I cool? I'm submerged in tension
Coolly you are saying I am cool
50% calm and collected 50% stressed
'I'll come and ask your father for your hand soon'
'Fat hopes! Impossible'
'We'll get married only after I pass 12th grade'
'- You have to pass? - Yes'
'As if it will happen in this birth!'
'If you are in a rush marry a girl with no goal'
'I'll only think of you after I pass 12th grade'
At least copy and get through
'Is that rich girl his daughter?'
Why are you crawling at snail's pace?
- Nothing, bro - You want to say something, shoot
How can my mouth even say it?
Then talk through your nose Shall I tell you?
Ganesh and my daughter are flirting in the front seat
- Is it so? - Stop mocking me
You made Ganesh a driver thinking he won't flip for a rich girl
Your own heir has made him an owner You made the slum dog a millionaire!
Na-ra-yana! God help me
I am not against love
Whom did I get my sister married to?
Ramalingam who worked in a petrol bunk
Didn't I earn a name, by choosing a poor man as groom for my sister?
Similarly, because my daughter is in love with him
Oothukaattaan was magnanimous to get his daughter married to a driver
I'll become popular amongst youngsters
But that boy is targeting my place!
He wants to emulate me
If we encourage this...
...looks like he will nail down my ambition
I won't be so vocal always
Why are you quiet suddenly?
I will be quiet and make others talk
Look over there
Koothapadi passengers, get down
The bus won't go into your village
- All of you get down - Why did you stop here?
Why won't you go further?
- We bought a ticket - What do you think of yourself?
If you drop us here we'll walk, huh?
Better take us into the village
- What's the problem? - He stopped the bus here
Why won't you drive into the village?
It is Oothukaattaan's bus Or else I'll burn it
So you think!
All this erupted because of Travel's Day
You know the loss incurred?
Let those passengers alight and we'll go
Koothapadi passengers, get down
How atrocious!
We will go and talk to Oothukaattaan
You've come in need of bus service
In this situation I am wondering how to open up about a problem
We have enough problems in hand
Don't scare us with a new one
I tried talking to them till 2:45 a.m
- Then what happened? - Clock struck 3!
That's right
They are not agreeing
All the bus owners have decided to build a factory in your village
By then you know what this boy did
All bus drivers should be given a 10% share
He has said so in a TV interview
Everyone is worried he might create problems when they build the factory
So they are shifting the factory to Andhra and washing their hands off
Because of that 1 man don't take revenge on us
I thought of disposing my lands and settling abroad
Ganesan put a spoke in that wheel too
Don't be in a hurry
Bro will come up with an idea
Every village has a jobless jerk who doesn't let the village prosper either
What did we do to that chap from Jakkampatti?
He was hassling the residents
Bro spent 5 lakhs and sent him to Dubai
Now he is fine So is the village!
Think and let us know if we can follow suit?
Is he the kind to listen?
He is stubborn with a mind of his own
Then he has to be treated like the chap from Mathur
Why should I leave my hometown?
To be an expatriate and slave under a foreigner is not my cup of tea
There is so much to do here for our motherland
When our homeland is so rich why be a slave in other lands?
My school teacher has taught me this pearl of wisdom
Forget all that What will you do here?
Hello...have you ever done anything good for our society so far?
Only good deed is to send you to the cemetery!
- What do you want now? - Good question
Indian Govt has certified her as dunc-
- What is he blabbing? - Don't spill the beans
All your plans have only helped in the decline of our village
Shut up! Chinnasamy, you speak
Do you want me to leave?
When so many useless people live here-
Keep quiet
What's your view, Kokilaakka?
You're the whiz kid here
Who will tell us World News if you aren't here?
Women have no business here, go
You'll come home drunk at night
- I'll deal with you - As if he will go home!
- Ganesh - Yes, sir
You've penalized us many times
We'll pitch, one last time into the donation box
You go abroad
We will bear your travel expenses
Why don't you die instead? We'll pay for your funeral expenses
How dare you!
[angry voices]
They are turning violent
How can this be a mediating forum? This is neither just nor fair
No one is respecting us
Tiger, don't escape now
I can't go abroad just because 4 of you decided
This isn't right
Like the chap from Mathur...
...we will vote and decide
What do you say?
I'm aware of that Mathur case
He is such a jobless jerk
His parents didn't vote for him
'He lost the election and fled for his life'
But I'm not like him
I know every grandpa, grandma, uncle, aunt in this village
Plus all brothers, sisters, out-of-towners, inhabitants
Known, unknown, kith and kin
You know how well I know everyone
- Right, ma? - You're my darling prince
What is he up to, sir?
- Good? - Goody good!
If those who whistled and applauded vote for us, that will do
You will lose your deposit
Chief, looks like he is on a warpath
- Shall we change our idea? - Hello...!
What is that secret discussion? Got the jitters, huh?
I need to show you my true colors now
Let the votes decide
You heard him?
What date, what time, what location?
Tell me
Our headmaster will furnish the details
Let us skip tomorrow and hold the election on Sunday
Result will be declared immediately
This is well within the election rules
Those who wish Ganesh to go abroad
- What's your symbol? - Go and bring it
- Airplane - Ganesh
What is your symbol to stay back here?
Where is our victory symbol?
On the way
Chair
The whole village is planning to send Ganesan abroad
But you seem quite unperturbed
Why should I be concerned?
No one can send him away
He would've made his move by now
'It's rented, careful'
Why these antics?
'My fault for giving him that camera!'
We need all the women's votes
Hey! My 'dhoti'
Thank God I wore my undies today
Click at least 1 good snap
That chap who is posing is decent This photographer is a disaster!
Pose now...pose
- Take him away - That's all
Good, good, good looking
- Smile, smile, smile - Enough
- I haven't finished - Let's see your expertise
I'm tired, get me some tea
What is this?
I can see only my limbs and nose No sign of my face?
Not 1 photo is proper
Give it to me, if I can take your nose won't I take your face?
Don't complain without reason
What's so special in that camera?
I did a good job clicking the snaps, that's a fact
The camera is faulty
'Good Lord!'
Get me...another camera?
I will shoot again from first
- You? - Yes
Change your shirt for the next shoot
- Beat him black and blue - We can change it in CG!
Sir...?
- Good morning - Vote for us
- I'll be there for sure - Bring your wife along
We always come together
What do they want?
His daughter is getting married it seems
He's here to invite us
Don't come here asking for temple donation
We won't give
Even though every vote counts yours will be a misfit!
They've bribed the inmates of the house in the grove
Let them
- Good morning, chief - Moorthy
Vote for the 'airplane'
- We will, bro - Don't vote for the wrong symbol
He paid for your child's ear-piercing ceremony
Not only did he pay, he gave your wife the child too!
What does he mean?
Didn't you find his child when she got lost?
- Vote for me - Yes, bro
Dharmalingam has pocketed the milkman's vote also
He has erected more hoardings than we have in our village
Let him
I can't get them out of here all because of 'Baashha' on TV
If anyone comes to my street canvassing for votes, I'll stab you
'If I lift my sickle a river of blood will flow'
If you cast your vote for him, that's it, get inside
All the youngsters support him
Looks like he will win, Oothukaattaan
The youngsters should be enticed
Let's open fully
Call me, don't come near me
- Now tell me - Hello
They are planning something tonight
Brush your teeth You stink to high heaven!
It seems they are planning something tonight
Let them
You stink no less
- Had a word with the boys? - Done, all set
They build temples for deities and nonentities
We must build a temple for one who invented booze
Let's do that Where is the glass?
- Who's that? - Boys we bribed
They have called me more than 10 times
- Haven't got the liquor - On the way
You sound like a broken record!
Have you got the booze?
Let's go and unload
I haven't even seen foreign liquor
Boys...boys...out!
Ganesan is in the truck!
If we get caught he will insult us, run
Don't get caught Run for your life
Did you notice?
They've stooped so low to beat us in the election!
But our village folks are such misers!
May be Oothukaattaan's handiwork?
Of course not
He's a different breed He won't be so blatant
Let's win the election, then get to the bottom of this foreign stuff
Break the booze bottles in the truck
'Ballot counting has just begun'
Very soon 1st round of results will be announced
'- Garland, crackers - Don't fret'
'Get his flight ticket organized'
This also, huh?
Did you arrange for sweets too?
I didn't
'Leelavathy sweets'
- From my love with love! - Call for you
'Hi Leela You've sent sweets'
You'll win for sure
I sent the sweets beforehand
- Your photo is on all boxes - You could've printed your photo too
- Sweet would've been sweeter - That's for our wedding invitation
In all this hullabaloo you'll woo her
- Love! - Tiger?
Only sweets, huh?
I'll get you jeans and T-shirt tomorrow
You keep teasing me!
'After the 1st round'
'40 votes for Chair symbol'
'And Airplane symbol'
'...has got only 10 votes so far'
Tiger, now that we're leading, let us have some fun at their expense
I'm game for it But no co-operation there
We will make them cooperate
Bro...you are sure to lose
Fear will plague you when you lose
Looking at a tree you might want to hang yourself, or drink poison
Or get electrocuted
Please don't do anything drastic, bro
In case you act on impulse...
...it is a disgrace not only for you
But for this whole village
'Akka'?
If you have pesticides at home...
...make sure you hide them
Don't scare me, Tiger
Your husband might reach Heaven!
Why is he saying this?
Shut up! Go home
Next round of results they will all strip and run!
Count at the end of 2nd round
'Chair has secured 150 votes'
'Airplane has secured 100 votes'
'Chair is leading now'
- Good? - Goody good!
Let's take off on a holiday for a week
They are showing off Imagine if they win!
Will you just shut up?
'Counting of votes has been completed'
' Now the final result will be announ-'
What's up?
Sir...what happened?
Power outage
Headmaster will come out and announce the result
If I win there will be no power outage
'We will be announcing the winner now'
We request the winner to treat the loser with respect
Sir...as per your wish
Chasing the loser in every street and bashing him up
We will not do so
We will not throw cow dung water on his face!
As per your request not just respect
We are waiting to show them the way to the graveyard!
'Don't resort to such measures'
'Results will be announced now'
Total votes 450
Invalid votes 20
Airplane symbol secured 230 votes
Chair symbol secured 200 votes
Airplane symbol emerges as winner
You don't need this
'Let the fireworks begin Time for celebration'
Congrats, chief I knew you would win
Give them a taste' of their own 'sweet' medicine!
Ganesan, when you lose fear will plague you
Looking at a tree you might want to hang yourself, or drink poison
Or get electrocuted
Please don't do anything drastic, bro
It isn't a disgrace for the village
It is humiliation only for you!
We will not throw acid on to your face!
We will not throw cow dung water on your face!
We will not chase you down every street and alley
We will only make sure you leave this place
"Are the events evolving a mere story?"
"Clueless, is fate the jury?"
"Or His divine conspiracy?"
How did we lose?
Did you vote for us or not?
I've never tasted foreign liquor
They promised a full bottle
We wanted to taste that and vote for you
And you ruined our hopes
We felt betrayed and we changed sides
"Are the unfolding events a mere story?"
"Helpless, is fate the jury?"
"The haystack that I am verily why would I join flames of fury?"
"Only through rumors fiery"
Ganesan
How will the man behind you know you are teary eyed?
That's why these coolers!
"The haystack that I am verily why would I join flames of fury?"
"Only through rumors fiery I am drifting away from trickery"
"The sky that I was I fell to earth, alas!"
"Are the unfolding events a mere story?"
"Clueless, is fate the jury?"
'Bro, you were right about suspecting Oothukaattaan
I made enquiries
Oothukaattaan sent a truck load of booze
He wanted us to break it
He made sure you lose and has exiled you!
Machiavelli to the core!
'I won't even give a handful of soil to the people of Koothapadi'
'How will I give my daughter?'
'You'll lead a life of exile hereafter'
'When you come back, you'll find just the sign post of Koothapadi'
The village won't be on any map!
Good lord! 2 days I was away and they did this to you!
I wouldn't have let this happen
Do you want me to stay here?
Whatever angle answer is the same
Hold this
These people who are sending me away
...will call me back as their savior
Literally falling at my feet
I'm sure I'll come back to my beloved hometown
Enough of drinking tea and coffee Come and stand in the line
Make it fast
Raghu, move right
Count the cash properly and give
You'll evacuate 200 people in this manner
What about the remaining 400?
- Narayana - Tell me, sir
A beer factory will be built in this village
It will drain the underground water within a radius of 5 km
Cattle and poultry will die without water
Farming will come to a standstill
Then what to do with the remaining folks?
Make this village a bar and dole out booze for free
Knock them all off, huh?
- 1st I need to knock you off - Why, sir?
You shouldn't be so enlightened!
I didn't understand
Okay, without understanding drive the car to Kerala
To message, huh?
I can send a message through this
One needs to go in person only for a massage!
Hey! Wrong car!
Sorry, I got confused hearing the word 'massage'
'No one around'
'What's this hay stack chap staring at intently?'
How can I see what's inside?
Lie down and you can see
Tramp! He didn't brush his teeth and droo-
Why hit a man who pays for his tea?!
Make a strong tea for me
Don't touch it
First pay me Rs 500 and then touch it
1 glass tea costs 500 bucks?
When Ganesan was here you created havoc! Free tea, huh?
Pay up your dues and then drink this
I don't have cash on me Got only my card
Take out your card then
- Give it to me - 'He has a swiping machine'
- Here you are - Give it
I can't see any cash coming out?
You won't get cash Only a case against you
Brainless bumpkin! That's Govt ID card
Get lost!
The villagers have taken advance on their land
And have wads of 2000 rupee notes
Fall at someone's feet and settle my dues first
Can't repay all my dues
Here's the money for the tea I drank
Bro, I don't have change for 2000
Distribute buns as freebies to any stray dog who stops at your shop
What did you say, hay stack head?
Let me set your mop on fire
Hey! Wait My costly customer!
'I will kill you Rascal...!'
Jobless jerks are having a dig at me
Buddy, where are you? When will you return?
In our factory site plan...
...we haven't acquired the center plot of 1 acre
They haven't even taken the advance from us
If we don't get that land we can't build the factory
Your village won't develop either
If he doesn't sign...
...you may have to return the deposit you received
What are you saying, sir?
Or else we'll take legal action and put you all behind bars
Alamelu, please put in a word to your son
What can I say?
You exiled him from our village
You talk to him
Why do you torture me at night like this?
Tiger, who's that dark lad next to you clad in a white shirt?
You mean him?
He's our village chief Dharmalingam
Can't see a cow during the day How will he see a buffalo at night?
Please forgive us
We agree it was wrong on our part to exile you
Only you can save us
Try to catch the 1st bus in the morning and come back
Is he at Arasampatti for him to catch a bus?
He's abroad He has to take a train!
'Bro, get a 'Tatkal' ticket and come as soon as you can'
I'll think of Tiger Pandi's feet as yours
And I beg you to return
Because you are literally falling at my feet, I'll come back
- But I have 1 condition - Tell us, Ganesan
If I must return...
...then my village must revel in my homecoming
On seeing that Alampadi should be awestruck
- No problem, Ganesan - As you wish, my boy
- Narayana - Tell me, sir
Am I participating in that procession?
- No, sir - What's that big crowd in aid of?
In your absence, there was a problem in the village
Why didn't you inform me the moment you saw me?
Then you would have been tense
I thought you should travel at least 200 km happily
What happened?
Who is he, so special?
'Greetings to the warm hearts of Koothapadi village'
'If you feed a child roaming in Rome, your child will be well in your own home'
Like this proverb, even though he went abroad with great reluctance
'I take great pride in welcoming Ganesan who feels his heart belongs only here'
Stop it
- Where is the village chief? - That's me, Dharmalingam
And I'm Moustachio-Murugesan
He said he won't return unless we dress up as tigers and dance
'Hey! Panchayat tigers What's the debate there?'
Aiyaiyo! He is calling us
If we don't dance he won't sign, see you
Mr Oothukaattaan has been eagerly waiting to praise Ganesan
I welcome him with utmost sincerity to speak
And we welcome him with open arms
You have no choice You are truly caught
'This is no ordinary tiger It's an extra-ordinary tiger'
'Awesome tiger that assaults'
'Amazing tiger'
Oothukaattaan the tiger fiery
And he has grabbed the mike from me
Gandhi went abroad, returned and served our country
But Ganesh will help and aid our entire village
In a nutshell, he is Gandhi with coolers
Wow!
Now say something about me as well
But unfortunately he has Godse tagging along
If I need to talk about this Godse, I can talk for hours or days or weeks-
Mr Useless, I mean Mr Oothukaattaan has to leave on some urgent work
So he ends his speech here
Trying to sell a record to HMV!
Thank you ever so much
He is the first chap to return out of all the people you exiled!
And you went on to praise him so much?
- That's just a checkmate game - I don't get it
If even you understood then my game is over
- Shall I tell a game you'll know? - Yes, bro
- Start the vehicle - I understood this
How did you fare in today's exam?
I didn't understand a single sum in Maths
Silly goose! It was science exam today
'I will deal with it in the next attempt'
Why is it every face reminds me of my boyfriend?
Look with your eyes opened wide It is he, him, himself!
True that!
When did you come back?
Why didn't you let me know?
If I had, would you have hugged me like this?
Get lost! I missed you soooo much
Don't get mad This is for you
Like it?
- I do, but I can't wear it - Why not?
Because I can wear only clip-ons
Your ears haven't been pierced?
When I was a baby and they tried to pierce my ears
...I brought the roof down it seems So my father stopped it
He's taking the entire village for a ride
He spared your ears alone
Will you always malign him?
Do you know how much I missed you?
Whole of tomorrow you must be with me
Okay, but you need to come to Koothapadi
Why?
'Having learnt persistence from monitor lizards'
'And subsistence from ants'
'My dear farmer friends who regard our soil as a treasure trove'
'Celebrating May Day and the return of our popular son Ganesh to the village'
'Our sports events will commence shortly'
'They have jumped into the arena'
'Our brave bulls Our youngsters'
'Give them a thundering applause and motivate them'
'Listen carefully Everyone here'
All the competitions must be won only by Ganesh
All of us must lose
Till he signs, we have been instructed by Oothukaattaan to butter him up
- Okay? - Okay
You've all sat down, how will you get up when he blows the whistle?
Hey! First try to win the race
[clears throat]
Enough, now just look to your left
She's from a local TV channel
I asked her to come over If I win all the races today...
...she'll be so impressed she will profess her love to me!
I'll knock all these boys down with ease
If only you don't get ahead of me her head will rest on my chest!
Deal or no deal?
You've gone out of your way for my love to blossom
Won't I do this for you?
Deal!
1-2-
Watch me run now
I'll make the TV anchor flip for me and make her my wife
Why isn't anyone else running?
Hey! Why did you run so soon?
Why didn't you all start running as well?
Bloody fool! You just run only after the count of 3 and the gunshot
Well! When I started running why didn't you fire?
Aim below his waist and shoot right now
Umpire, aim with extra care!
I told you, they won't get up if they sit on their haunches
Shut up and come back
It's getting late Get ready
Even if he doesn't know anything he makes up with his blah-blah!
Tiger, concentrate
Ready, 1...2...3
'Sudden twist in the race'
'Tiger Pandi is running at lightning speed'
'They are blocking me like bulls in an arena'
'He's taking the corners like Vaigai Express'
'It is evident Tiger Pandi will win hands down'
'How sad! Tiger slipped'
Get up
Please touch the finishing line
Tiger, get up
Am I 'Anjali baby' to you?
You wild pig I'll pierce your eyes
Why did you run so fast?
- Is this fast? - Is it slow then?
If I have to run slower than this I should run in reverse
Don't worry I'll make you win the next game
- Promise? - Promise
'Now the eagerly awaited contest 'Silambattam' has commenced'
'We've seen professionals wield a stick like a spinning top'
'1st time we see it being wielded here and there, haywire!'
'Spectators, be alert'
'Tiger, you lost that stick 2 minutes ago'
'Oh! Is that so?'
I know, I was giving the stick a rest to warm up
'Okay'
- Here - Why?
I won't participate It is all yours
If you mark my forehead with a dot it means you are the winner
You want me to win unopposed?
I will never agree I might look like a small cracker
But when I am fired up it will be a blast!
Want to see me 'dot' you?
- Throw me the stick - Take it, double quick
Come on, come on
You can come I am ready
It is stuck, I say
'Hay stack head! Let go of the stick'
Let it go
'By wielding the stick cleverly in 'Silambattam' competition...'
'...we are proud to announce Ganesh is the winner once again'
You said you'll dot my forehead and indulged in 'self service'?
What 'self service'? You marked me
Don't worry
There's 1 more to go I'll make you win that
The whole village is on your side
I'm all by myself, okay?
- Promise? - Promise
Should I win or should he win?
You...you...only you should
Give me a high five
Come on, get ready
- Pull...pull - Get ready
Ready...ready
Get ready
'Tiger, pull hard'
'I will win this and then tie the sacred thread around your neck'
Shall I just tug?
'Pull now, boys'
'What are you looking for at my feet now?'
'So far we've only seen a tiger pounce on a deer'
'Only now are we witnessing a tiger preferring to lick the mud'
'Tiger Pandi in a murderous rage is hitting his members with a vengeance'
'He's hounding them And pounding them to a pulp'
I'll kill you
Ganesh has won all the contests hands down
- Kaput, huh? - Shall we play 1 more game?
So that you can push me and they can kill me, huh?
Now what do I tell her?
I did my best
Whistle...loudly
Take home every single trophy
"I am a lion cub, your beau I am here to flirt with you"
"I turn a deaf ear when you object, dear"
"I love to crumple you crazy like a grinding stone, lassie"
"You should come to heel, missy without acting too pricey"
"You must blush because of me without feeling shy, sweetie"
"I need to caress you, as your beau Don't make me yearn for you"
"You are a lion cub, my beau I am here to please you"
"I turn a deaf ear if you object, dear"
"I want to live with you forever"
"You should come to heel, mister without showing off you're the master"
"You will make me blush anew Without feeling shy, thanks to you"
"Feast is laid, but I am hungry Because you haven't fed me"
"With your scissor-eyes, you snip and slice"
"Like a lamb in a spell enchanted my heart spins to join you enraptured"
"Your words nectarous sweet as honey"
"Craving to kiss me, sweetly you drive me to paradise, sweety"
"My path changes when you walk towards me My gray cells get intoxicated heady"
"Helpless, what's happening to me, honey"
"I am a lion cub, your beau"
"I am here to tease you"
"I turn a deaf ear if you object, dear"
"More we are together love multiplies stronger"
"No holds barred No questions asked"
"I want no wealth or assets fancy My heart is dazed, my head is dizzy"
"Even 10 births won't do, sorry To bask in our bond's glory"
"You are one in a million, my beloved"
"The day you tie the thread is our wedding day so sacred"
"I am a lion cub, your beau I am here to flirt with you"
"I turn a deaf ear when you object, dear"
"I love to crumple you crazy like a grinding stone, lassie"
"Lion cub dashing"
"My forever darling"
'We have all been waiting from morning'
'Ganesh is nowhere to be seen'
'Hey! Careful, they may fall under the wheel'
'They are trying to fall at your feet'
'They succeeded'
'Please get down, sir'
Spare the car tyre!
'Your signature decides our future'
'The sun is scorching You'll get tanned, hold it'
Hold the umbrella
'Good afternoon, Ganesh We have all been waiting for you'
Give him a seat Get up now
Sir, what is the factory you're building here?
A sugar factory which will provide employment
Why do you lie? I know it's a beer factory
The villagers here are assuming they will be employed in the factory
Only I know it will reduce this village to shambles
Okay, I'll also pitch in and aid your treachery
If you pay me 20 million I am prepared to sign
We have paid only Rs 600000 per acre to everyone here
They are naive idiots Am I like them?
Okay
Let us clinch this between ourselves
Sign here, I'll ensure it is favorable to you
Sure
I won't let you sign
'- I have to sign - I won't let you'
What happened?
Let go of my hand
If you want to do so give my share and then sign
- Better take your hands off - No, I won't
- What is it you want? - I want a share
Let go of my shirt
You have all the 'chairs' you want Help yourself
Taking a dig at my accent?
In your 20 million share, give me 50% which is 40 million and then sign
Dumbass! 50% of 20 million is 10 million
Is that so? Good o' good then
I tricked you to spell it out in a gathering here
- They are talking in millions - I am also puzzled
I intend signing now
Ganesh, don't sign
We won't let you sign the deed
Move aside...move
- Don't sign - I have to sign it
'Trying to fool us?'
He has started his game
I will wrap it up
And me?
Fold it
Okay, sir
'We should also get the same deal'
'We didn't expect this from you, sir'
Silence
Like how we have agreed to pay 20 million for his acre
...pay 40 million for his 2 acres Pay him 80 million for his 4 acres
You are our godsend and savior, sir Otherwise they would have cheated us
He is a partner too Then why is he being a turncoat?
What is the discussion? Can you pay them or not?
How can we, sir?
You're thinking of the advance you gave?
I will pay it from my pocket Least I can do for them
Clear out now
Nothing to worry
I'll go to North India, find a loan shark and get a better deal
'May you be blessed'
Are you feeling sad you couldn't achieve something good for these folks?
Nothing of that sort
Only now I trust you will treat our village just like your sister's
Very soon I will visit you with my people with good news
I will take leave, sir
See you, bro
Unfold your lungi!
Sure, sir See you, sir
He's predicting a piece of good news like some kind of soothsayer?
If he knows about my sister's village then he knows my entire family history
I bought this land well aware of the proposed plan of a beer factory
If he can pay up all the advance money...
...that's an unimaginable amount He must be a partner as well
He has got an ace up his sleeve
He has dissolved your dream And you are so silent?
How do you know I am silent?
Are you a habitual drinker?
My father will be very upset if he finds out, bro
The habitual drinker is your father!
My dad?
She's coming Start your engine!
Bro, you never drink
Why start now and ruin your health?
My heart is so heavy
A boy is fooling a girl pretending to love her
'He wants to usurp her wealth'
Pretend to do good for the village and get a good name for himself
So the boy loves her money Not the girl?
A lackey like you understands That girl is being taken for a ride
But how does it affect you, bro?
Why should you drink?
That boy is Ganesh from Koothapadi
Who is that girl's fool of a father?
Why are you hitting your head?
I have to bang my head I am that fool of a father!
I have never deprived my daughter of anything
If she comes tomorrow and says she wants to marry only him...
...imagine my plight
'This is what I plan to do'
I'll meet him tomorrow and hand over all my assets
'Please take all this But leave my daughter alone'
I'll fall at his feet if need be and beg him to let go of her
Even as a servant I feel awful about this
I FEEL AWFUL HEARING THIS
Imagine your plight as the father!
If your daughter gets to know it will break her heart
Don't drink Please don't
- Put it back - Don't hit your head
Neither are you drinking nor letting me forget the pain!
I traced your girl's exam papers and tried to bribe the chap who corrects
- He was raving mad at me - Why?
She took bits of notes into the hall to copy
That's no big deal It's very common
She told me about it
That's alright if she just copies
She has stapled the bits to the answer sheet
- What are you saying? - She won't pass in this birth
'What about my wedding?'
'She is sitting in the temple Go and tie the sacred thread'
She doesn't want to talk to you, just go
- Why? - She found out you lied
Ask all the lovers in the village
Everyone tends to lie to set the ball rolling
Our love is true and deep I'll deal with it, you go
Bro she looks real angry
Looks like she's boiling mad I don't know how to pacify-
The mood she is in she may even hit you
I'll try to calm her down with the 'brother-sister' trump card
I am Sivaji Ganesan and she is Savitri
[song from 'Pasamalar']
You are the reason for my misery
'I tried to help your love and you're slapping me!'
'I'll go fetch my buddies Sasikumar and Samuthirakani'
Leela, why did you hit him?
That was meant for you
I kept telling myself you wouldn't have lied
But you agreed you did
Most men lie to seal their love
But your love is a lie
Why did you fall for me?
For my good looks or good heart?
Tell me
Why did you follow me?
Why did you deceive me?
Tell me Open your mouth and speak
Will you tell me now or not?
I fell in love with you for my village to progress
But I truly love you now
Oh! You have a heart of gold, huh?
Why did they send you abroad then?
If you had wanted money, I would have asked my father and flung it in your face
Why did you plan, fall in love and trick me?
Hey Leela Hear me out
I love you truly, someone has confused you unneces-
Don't lie
You fell for me because my dad is rich
If I had been a nonentity...
...would you have even glanced at me or spoken to me?
You don't qualify as the right son-in-law for my father
Leela, do you know what a fraud your father is?
You don't have the right to deride my dad
He is true to this village and to his family
You neither love this village nor me
You are the fraud, not my dad
If you hound me professing your love...
...you'll be insulted Get lost!
Hello Ganesh, what is the good piece of news you wanted to share?
I'm feeling good now Do you want to tell me?
Sir, it's over
Why is your voice dripping with sorrow?
Love failure?
Yes, sir
Careful, rejection can lead to suicide
That was in your day and age, sir
From time immemorial, parents' duty is to separate lovers
To seal the love you disrupted is the duty of boys like us
Let me take care of it
- Will he get her to say 'okay'? - Sure, bro
- How are you so sure? - He's known for his 'okay, okay'!
[amused laughter]
'What is the reflection in the water?'
Our temple festival commences in mid-August every year
The deity in Koothapadi will be handed over to Alampadi village
The Alampadi residents will perform their prayers for a whole day
And the next evening, the villagers will carry the deity to the village limit
If you have been rejected in love, you should get piss-drunk, smoke...
...sport a beard and drown in sorrow Why are you glowing with happiness?
I have buried my feelings within my heart real deep
We must not show our weakness to our enemies, go and bowl
You can't judge the ball properly
Why don't you bowl and I'll bat?
Aiyaiyo! I only know to bat
You'll trick everyone to a T in this
For the past 10 years, Oothukaattaan has presided over the function competently
We as chiefs, have decided, he will preside and conduct it this year as well
Any objections from this side?
- No - That side?
- Any objections here? - No
'Objection, Your Honor'
'Who the hell is that?'
- Who let you in? - Move aside
I have an objection
How can you say it bluntly? Make your point clearly
'Which point?'
You pinch even a baby who is 1 year old if he glares at you
Here is a 40 year old raising his tone Won't you stuff a firewood in his mouth?
I am the one who brought this wooden head out on bail
Why, bro?
This is the last temple festival here
We should make Ganesh preside and create a ruckus, put him in a spot
I don't get it
Where's the lid? Screw it!
Ganesh hit a six like Dhoni Elect him as the president
Tiger Pandi bowled like Ashwin Select him as secretary
For catching like Kohli make me the treasurer
We will make this event a huge success
You came out on bail after stealing a goat
You'll make this festival a success, huh?
I am saying this for your welfare
Please listen to me
Hit him on the head
- Give me the ball - Who the hell are you?
And why should I be the president?
- Bro, I recognize this face - Who is he?
Remember if as kids we didn't eat...
...mother will scare us with a scarecrow tale
He is that scary scarecrow!
Do I look like one?
I was a cuuuute kid in my childhood
Believe me, bro
Trust me, please
We believe you
Thanks a lot
Now watch my performance
Hey Oothukaattaan
Ganesh as a single lion is eligible to be the president
Not a sly fox like you
How dare you deride our bro?
Hit me anywhere but not my head
- Hey! Stop it - It hurts!
You can't bear to see me insulted however slight
I am so overwhelmed
Don't be a drama king!
You think you're scaring me away?
Oothukaattaan
I will come to your doorstep and I'll kill you
Just because he rants and raves like he has epilepsy...
...don't pummel him with accuracy
- Don't hit - Stop it
'Whether you beat me or bash me I won't spare you
'Don't hit him because he is latching on to the van'
Oothukaattaan, come what may, I will be the one to kill you
Hey Ganesa, did you set this up?
- Is he one of us? - Don't butt in
Not my butt, I spoke through my mouth
Give that to me
We instill a sense of duty into an irresponsible boy...
...so that he will become a better person
Don't do this please He may invite more trouble
And he says this to the trouble maker!
Let's ask our people their verdict
I have decided Ganesh will preside
What do you say?
We are okay with whatever you say
Okay, get the garland
'The 2 village chiefs will join hands to garland Ganesan now'
'Kindly give a big hand'
How was the sixer I just hit?
You hit with a bat I use my brain instead!
You are no ordinary person either
Okay, I shall preside the temple festival and ensure it works on oiled wheels
You are the bride's side and I'm the groom's side
I was referring to the deities
He meant God Why are you shocked?
I'll ensure all those who left my village will attend the festival
Ganesh, presiding isn't like a game of cricket
You will be held responsible whether a cyclone hits us
Or the whole place is up in flames Please take good care of your village
Catch this, Ball Pandi
'Shall I take leave?'
How did it catch fire?
He has messed with so many lives One of them must have set fire
One of these days our village will go up in flames because of him
Thank God they burnt the house down when your mother was in the temple
Or else just imagine
'For all his pranks, setting fire to his house isn't enough'
'They should have burnt this duo too'
Oothukaattaan kept his word and burnt your house down
I'll tell our people the truth
I was the one who burnt my house down
You...?
Bro?
What's the news? Did it catch fire?
Can we set fire to a burning house?
You wanted to burn the village He burnt his house and saved the village
If he had set fire the whole village will be in embers
Our people are now alert because my house caught fire
Madcap!
You might have saved us today
What is your next move?
I have filed the complaint
Oothukaattaan won't step into our village hereafter
All that is fine, but if Leela finds out...
...your love will be reduced to ashes
I will make her profess her love with this complaint copy
Let me see
You started hiccupping ever since you got a call from the police station
I wonder who can make these hiccups stop?
Hey Oothukaattaan
'I wanted you to spend a few nights in a cell'
Ensure your name and fame go for a toss
All the villagers should spit at you in disgust
That's why I have filed a case against you
Sir, did you see that? He stopped hiccupping
Did you hear that, sir? It started again!
Ganesh, you can say something startling to stop the hiccups
But shouldn't make a fool of yourself
What is this complaint about me?
Sir, the complaint is honestly to save your life
Rajendran has vowed to kill you in your house
So I burnt my house down and filed a complaint that you burnt my house
All you need now is police protection
Spend a few days in a cell
By then, I will find him and bring him before you
'Your life may be ordinary to you But it is invaluable to us'
This is 'check mate' for your own plan!
Narayana
Let us replace his house that he set fire to...
...by building a house at my expense, a concrete plan
Rajendran is a kill-joy But he won't kill
Don't underestimate everyone
If an ant enters an elephant's ear the ant is the hero!
1st withdraw the case against me We can discuss the rest later
Let us trace him first
Then we can think of withdrawing the case, I'll take leave, sir
He is the Good Samaritan for all
But this boy is his guardian angel now
Bro, see you
Do you need this?
Get inside
When he shouted 'Oothukaattaan' your hiccups should have stopped, bro
It stopped long ago
I've been the one hiccupping using my acting prowess
I am an expert in staging hold-ups To make up a hiccup is an easy follow-up
Remove all the dirt from under the staircase
Finish work fast
Ganesu
What?
Love letter, huh?
Leelavathi and I have a very small lovers' squabble
We'll soon make up
You'll use a small gap to set up your camp!
Your girl is the one who gave this letter
Leelavathi, huh?
What did she write?
She is right there Go and ask her
Leela lover
Ganesh's girlfriend
You thought I'll call you that?
Even I can lose my temper
Hey, look at me
My fault to have suspected our love
I realized you filed a case to protect my father
I truly love you
What?
Who will believe this?
How do I gain your trust?
As a proof of your love
You can confirm in this spot!
'Mr President! Instead of focusing only on your personal stuff...
...supervise the temple festival also
- This Tiger is a pain - See you, bye
Ganesh's girlfriend! Attend the festival tomorrow
Even if you don't call me, I'll be there, bye
I came to withdraw the case
Sign here
Thanks, sir
- How are you, bro? - I'm fine, Ganesh
We came here respecting your call
Bro, how can you attend only special occasions?
Stay in our village, bro
Are there basic amenities or opportunities here?
We should not go in search of comfort
But make our place comfortable
Only if you all stay here our village will benefit
You see, our village will soon get all the facilities
Okay, Ganesh I will take leave
- Who is he? - He is our head master's son
His father taught me
I thought of coming over to see you
- I have some good news to tell you - I know
You withdrew the complaint, right?
I have also got a surprise for you
What?
Who wants your gift?
Are you pretending to file a case and then withdraw it to get into my good books?
That's why I pretended to make up and made you withdraw the case!
My father's words of wisdom
You can dream big but you should be qualified to do so!
You aren't the least bit qualified for me to be your girl and wife
Take it Get lost!
All of you, stand in the village border
Let us wait for our Gods
After blessing the people of Koothapadi our Goddess is now...
...heading towards our village border
The villagers of Alampadi along with their chief Oothukaattaan
...are here to receive the Goddess
They will perform their sacred vows and retain the deities in their temple for a day
Tomorrow evening at 5'o clock, they will bring the deities back here
On behalf of our people we request this to the people of Alampadi in good faith
Goddess is visiting Her hometown happily
Receive the Goddess Burst the crackers
Maternal side should pay their respects to the paternal side of the Goddess
We are paying our respects Beat the drums loudly
No one should hear our conversation That's why the drums should be loud
The day you stopped me from building a factory...
...only then I checked your horoscope
You made it your goal to fall in love with my daughter
So I used her as bait for you to withdraw the case
Even if you separate us, it is still my ambition
I thought sibling love made you fill your sister's village with facilities
When you sent me away I presumed it was a father's fear
When I knew you laid the foundation for the factory plan...
...I was slightly shaken up
Hereafter you can't harm my village
Beat the drums
I am honoring him, right?
Thank God! I wanted to tell you
Only I should be privy to your findings, not others you see
Let that fear prevail!
Even I checked your history
Our elders didn't allow you to pierce your daughter's ears
So you hindered all the developments as revenge to destroy my whole village
Are you worthy of being a leader?
You are a scoundrel of the 1st order!
You hindered our progress I'll ensure you undo the damage
I will change you from Hyde to Jekyll!
Ganesu, if you are a local rogue I am an international rowdy!
If you manufacture a needle I will use it to prick your eye
If you make a knife I will stab your heart
If the whole village kills someone it is termed as murder
If one village burns down another it is called riot
Do you understand?
Save yourself and your village
If poss-ible!
Leela's passport has been delivered
Passport for your daughter Are you sending her abroad?
Why would I need one to send her to a village nearby?
How will you be happy after sending her abroad?
Do you want me to get her married to a useless fellow like you?
You don't know to keep your wife happy And you're advising me? Get lost!
'You insulted me when I've been so loyal to you'
'You will see a different me'
Go, how long will you let your mind speak?
Greetings, bro
What brings you here?
They have planned to send Leela abroad
She is leaving by car to Coimbatore
If you set your mind you can stop them
Okay, how do I trust you?
'Alampadi's favorite deity Goddess Draupadi'
'Under the auspices of Oothukaattaan'
'...is circumambulating the streets showering Her blessings to our people'
'We request all the devotees to be ready'
'Very soon our Goddess will go back to Koothapadi village with the usual fanfare'
'We request all the devotees to escort Her with utmost piety'
- Did you snitch properly? - Yes, boss
I didn't sneak, bro
Narayana
As per my plan, Ganesh shouldn't be here
I hatched a plot and insulted you
You fell into my trap and snitched
I thought you'll help like a squirrel but you've been Lord Hanuman to me
Anna, forgive me
Have you taken me off the job?
I have only taken your key as of now
I know a driver and servant shouldn't be dismissed immediately
Hey Trouser! Pick your bloody phone
I screen the calls I have an image to preserve
Your ring tone sucks big time
Hello?
Wh...er...what, hello?
What are you saying?
[mobile rings]
Another pain in the wrong place!
Do you need a separate message? Pick up your damn call
Hello
Everyone has a phone and it's really exasperating!
Why are you whispering?
Spill it out
He's on another call! Bloody...come here now
Phone mania!
- Come soon - Oh! Not you, stinko!
Why am I the chief here if you are busy showing off?
- He's shouting his throat hoarse - What is your problem?
Blurt it out
[muttering]
Cat got your tongue?
Give me your ears
Why the hell can't you say it?
Don't tell him Please don't
Ganesan has eloped with Oothukaattaan's daughter
Aiyo!
Sprinkle some water Chief has fainted
Not to worry
Chief will soon be a father!
Shut up!
Looks like you'll deliver a baby! What's going on here?
What is it?
Someone has run away with our chief's wife!
- Is it true? - My heart attack is real now!
Chief, don't worry
We won't whisper a word to anyone
Leave this place now
Please go
Chief, is this priority now?
Please soften your tone
The people of Alampadi shouldn't know about this
1st let us bring the deity safe and sound here
Then let us find Ganesh and break his limbs into two
Bring the girl back and apologize to Oothukaattaan, only then I'll relax
Okay, chief
Beat the drum Blow the trumpet
All of you, stand right there
'Village border'
Why did you stop? Proceed forward
Bring the deity
Ganesan from your village has kidnapped Oothukaattaan's daughter
They have to show up now
How did he know if it was top secret?
He was the one who told me!
Hold on
Whatever misgivings we can sort it out
1st bring the deity
How can this shameful deed be sorted out verbally?
The girl has got to come here first
Otherwise the deity won't cross over to your side
Don't do anything drastic like that
Bring our deity to us
Place the deities on the ground
Don't, it is a bad omen if you do so
Listen to us Please don't
It doesn't augur well
What do we do now?
Call him
1 minute, wait
Place the deities on the road
Please be patient
Yes, tell me, bro
Oothukaattaan fooled Narayanan and made him lie to you
Listen to me, everybody
By sunrise, if the girl isn't here...
...we will thrash you and take the deities back
'This is Oothukaattaan's conspiracy'
'Make sure there are no riots I will come back with Leela'
'Today 3:00 a.m'
The deities are with me So is my daughter
If he goes without my daughter his own people will bash him up
He comes here looking for Leela my men will pound him to a pulp
Who am I?
I don't know, bro
I am Machiavelli reborn
'Village border 4:30 a.m'
Goddess Draupadi I don't know where my son is
Whether he is safe or not?
You have to protect him and bring him here
- Search over there - 'Okay, bro'
'Check this side Why are you going there?'
Look over there
He must be here somewhere for sure, search properly
Don't leave even a nook or corner
He must be here
Search
Hey! He is here Come and stab him
'An ordinary chap will hide his daughter out somewhere'
'But he is a peculiar creature I am sure she is inside his house'
Ganesan beat us up, bro
Let go of my hand
'Where are you dragging me?'
'Do you know what will happen if my father finds out?'
'- Let go of me - Get inside'
I don't want to elope with you to get married to you
I have to save 600 lives
Get in
- Get in - Why?
He would have got Leela I must reach the border before him
'5:30 a.m'
Let go of me
'Stop the jeep'
Stop the vehicle
'Stop'
'Where are you taking me?'
It's dawn and the girl isn't here, kill everyone
'Hey! Ganesh is here'
'The girl is also with him'
'Calm down, everyone'
'I'm telling you to calm down'
'Ganesh has come with your daughter to our border, what do we do now?'
Get down
Don't touch him
His people will have a field day
'Bash him up'
'Why are you waiting?'
'Let us hear what he has to say'
'You are to blame'
'Don't hit him'
'Should our town be destroyed because of you?'
[angry voices]
'Don't spare him'
'Beat him up black and blue'
'Don't hit my son'
Stop it
'Stop hitting him'
[overlap of angry voices]
Why are you hitting him now?
Stop it...stop it
The whole village is on the road!
Stop it
Stop this commotion
The deities are on the road and he has eloped with the girl
Are you playing the fool? I will kill you
Usually a youngster will fall in love and leave his village
He fell in love for his village to prosper
And you want to thrash him
Ganesh wanted a hospital built for your wife to deliver your baby
Was that wrong?
If so, beat him up
He wanted to open a school here so your kids don't walk for miles
Is that a crime?
Go ahead and bash him
You expect us to be amused!
Hit him
All of you stop it
I am talking
If I marry this girl...
...I thought our town will also get the facilities Kulotharampatti enjoys
But I realized she didn't love me So I tried to kidnap her to marry her
I didn't expect this to go out of hand
Now I am to blame for our deities and my people being stranded here
Please forgive me
He didn't mind his daughter losing her reputation
He lied about Ganesh kidnapping you
He kidnapped you to nullify your father's allegation
I hope you realize now how much he loves you
A man who goes out of his way for his hometown...
...won't he take good care of you?
Do you know why the deities are on the road?
Do you know the reason is your father?
Are you spinning all these yarns after all your wrong doings?
- You expect us to believe that? - Stop it
Like you I had also misjudged him
It is true we fell in love But he didn't kidnap me
I must speak the truth in front of my people, move aside
You have misunderstood the situation
Ganesh did not kidnap me
I will marry him and live in Koothapadi as his wife
Bro, we haven't got any call from the village limit
Ganesh must have won
He must have lost
[chuckles]
You see wisps of smoke Yet to catch fire
You spoke nonstop and brainwashed the girl
Chop them to pieces and bring the girl back
You're going overboard
We were quiet for so long thinking our boy was at fault
'Try your tricks now You'll get it back'
'Let us see who wins'
'Don't regret later Fault lies with you'
I'll tell them it was my dad's fault
It will fall on deaf ears even if your father confessed
Hand over the deities Or else there will be bloodshed
[angry voices]
Be quiet and listen
Wait...wait
If you chop 100 people they will chop 200
Let us not fight
1st send our deities over
I'll send my girl
"What can I say about my story?"
"The fault rests on me wholly wholeheartedly"
If you take the deity...
...what is the guarantee you won't pursue the girl again?
Promise on the deities you won't follow her
"You are my family deity I see in front of me"
"If you don't grant my wish readily Whom else can I turn to, tell me?"
"Without soothing showers on our soil I stood transfixed in turmoil"
Instead of you coming to my house as daughter-in-law...
...I want our Goddess as our daughter-in-law
In this birth my village gets priority
Next birth is ours
"As my love for you heightened, I found"
"My eyes with tears abound Time drew a 'rangoli' on the ground"
"As my love for you escalated, I found"
"My eyes with tears abound Time drew a 'rangoli' on the ground"
"Light of my life, my soul You are blameless, if truth be told"
"Love of my life, don't feel guilty It is not your fault, trust me"
"Be brave, Time will unite us one day"
"If our ties are true forever Destiny will be our savior"
"Rain has to merge with soil you know That's nature's decree anyhow"
"When I turn back, forlorn wordlessly"
Like your father, we hold you in high regard
"Whom can I blame wearily? I am in pain, my heart is heavy"
"When I turn back, forlorn woefully"
"Whom can I blame wearily? I am hurting inside, this is my story"
Sir...bro
Bro sir, looks like he got a good name He is celebrating with fireworks
He is capable of only fireworks I'll show them an earthquake
Oothukaattaan, we sorted out all our differences yesterday
Don't hurt him
Step aside You are the main culprit
Hey! Tiger Oothukaattaan is here
Tell him I have no coins to give as alms
Oothukaattaan is enquiring What is the matter?
The other day didn't our chief's wife elope with some man?
Oothukaattaan is sorting it out
Is that so?
Nothing of that sort happened, sir
Ganesh, do you intend stepping out or not?
Brother is waiting
How do I look?
Unexpected But soooper!
Ganesh, you don't have to forsake your love for the villagers' sake
I'll accept you as my son-in-law
Bro is not in the mindset to get married now
Call us later
I gave my word I won't follow his daughter
Didn't I promise?
You promised you won't follow her
Did you promise not to marry her if I came forward with this alliance?
'Why are you hesitating?'
Whatever I did for my sister's village I'll do twice as much for your hometown
In fact, if I have done anything wrong please accept my sincere apologies
Why do you have to fall at his feet, pa?
When did I say I'll fall at his feet?
I just apologized
What is yourself worth, respect, status in society and your dignity?
How can you apologize to him?
I don't like it one bit
So let me walk over to his side
Bro, she excelled you in words
How does this look? Glitzy, huh?
Looks like the sun is wearing sun glasses
'It looks perfect on your nose, sir'
You knew I was coming
My dear father-in-law how did you come?
I made you come
You can't digest it if people praise me
So I made all the arrangements
Exchange garlands
Beat the drums
Oothukaattaan is our savior
Stop...stop
Can't hear you Speak up
He is the angel sent by God to unite lovers
Say that aloud
Our Oothukaattaan is one in a million
It is your wedding but I get the name and fame
Uncle, you can keep the name and fame
But the honor is for my people
- Have it your way - 1 minute
- We have enraged the Gods - Why?
- Ears should be pierced after tonsuring - That's true
You jinx-mouth Tonsure your head
I'll get my ears pierced
1 more minute
I have to confess something
Brother, don't say it
Shut up, a man has to be honest at least once in his lifetime
When she was a baby and we wanted to pierce her ears, she screamed out, 'NO'
As a baby, she yelled out, 'NO'
Only a father can hear those cries of protest
Others can't So what I am trying to say...
'...pierce gently'
He will never reform, huh? How did you cope with him?
- Stop over acting - She is my heart
