See what I do to you.
-You think I'm a fool? -How dare you grab my shirt!
Hey, Mani.
-Hey, Baskar. -What is it, sister?
What are you doing? Come here. Quick.
What happened, sister?
-Who is it? -It's too noisy. Let's check.
-Hey, sister. -What happened?
-Let me go. -Hey, who are you?
Who the hell are you, man?
-Why are you hitting him? -Get him, guys!
-Throw him out! -Come out.
Let go of me!
Get lost.
-You jerk. -How dare you mess with him?
-Get the hell out of here! -Get lost.
-Here. Why are you shouting now? Go. -Give me my money.
-Hey, move. -What happened, son?
Mani.
-What's going on? -He hit my brother-in-law.
Who the hell are you? Get lost.
He took 30,000 rupees from my wife.
It's been three months, and he hasn't returned a penny yet.
I had saved it for my wife's delivery.
She's in the hospital now.
When I ask him to pay me back, he keeps putting it off.
-Fraudsters. -What the? How dare you?
-Shut up, man. -Give me my money back, you scoundrel.
I won't. Do what you can.
Get back inside.
Fine. Keep it to yourself.
Like you'll ever prosper.
-Get lost! -How can he talk like that?
-Get back inside. -Can't you pay him back?
You are creating a scene here.
-Let it go, Kumar. -How can I?
I've got to pay the hospital bills.
-What will I do for it? -Kumar.
You think they'll treat her for free?
Hello.
What do you think you're doing?
Are you out of your senses?
Is this how you shout inside a maternity ward?
Learn how to behave.
I don't want to hear any noise. Okay?
Heard her? This is all your fault.
Forget it!
Why does he shout like this?
Sir, when will the van arrive?
I mean, what time?
-I've informed. Should be here in half an hour. -Okay.
Hey, the vehicle will leave in an hour.
It'll be there by 8 or 9 a. m. tomorrow.
Aren't you coming along?
The thing is… Ganesapandi…
I have two foreign clients visiting tomorrow.
I'll leave as soon as the meeting is over.
Hang up now.
Hey, listen to me.
-What? -It's a holiday tomorrow. Why don't you go?
Go there?
Do you want me to die over there?
-You've any idea what'd happen if I went there? -Tell me.
[Subbu] That dead guy with his skull wide open, that's Narayana Perumal.
Once, he was considered the most eligible bachelor in Tirunelveli.
Capitalizing on this status, he fathered many heirs.
Among them, the most prominent was Issaki Muthu.
Issaki Muthu wasn't a romantic, though.
He was nothing short of a monster.
The only problem he had stemmed from his birth.
The pain of being born to a mistress slowly consumed him.
This drove Issaki into depression.
So, he resolved to set things right.
And that meant performing his father's final rites.
He secretly brought Narayana Perumal
to our house in Chennai and asked me to look after him.
While out for a casual walk,
he died in an accident
trying to save a young girl.
To make matters worse, Maalai Murasu featured this story on their front page.
Sankarapandian would have seen this.
Can you guess who that is?
The first son, of Narayana Perumal and
his legal wife, Mariyammal, from Cheranmadevi
is Sankarapandian.
He was a monster in his own right, too.
He carries his burdens as well.
He grieves for his father, who was never a part of his life.
He wishes for his mother, Mariyammal’s soul, to find peace.
Determined to assert his rightful place as his father's son,
he vowed to perform the final rites himself.
With this resolve, he'll surely visit Kalakkad.
And Isakki will stand opposed to him,
transforming the village into a battlefield.
There's a good chance you might lose your head there.
Right?
Come on.
THE END IS NOT TOO FAR
Come here.
What did I tell you?
What is it?
Didn't I tell you to get Sankar's van?
What's wrong with my van?
You think it'll even make it to Avadi without breaking down?
And you're talking about going all the way to Tirunelveli.
I just had it fixed. It's in good condition.
Kumar.
Trying to fix your van is like flogging a dead horse.
-Do you get it? -What now?
I should reach the place at the right time. Correct?
Leave it to me. I'll take care.
Wow. What confidence!
Mmm.
Come on. Load it.
Over here.
Careful.
So, who's going along?
No one.
-What? -You heard it right.
-Pay him 5000 for the diesel. -Okay.
Take this, Kumar.
-Careful. -Okay.
Bag.
Take it.
Okay. See you.
KALAKKAD TIRUNELVELI
Issaki.
Did you inform Mariyammal Aunty?
Yes. I did, sister.
Let's assume the body arrives at 8 or 9 o'clock.
We should be done by 2 o'clock. Right?
Uncle, we'll make it grand.
We can't start the funeral just like that.
Dad lived a long life.
So, it's a death worth celebrating.
You're right.
But he didn't die naturally.
It was an accident.
We also don't have a lot of rituals.
The body arrives at 10 a. m.
We've got four hours.
We'll get everything done by that time.
-What do you say, Issaki? -Okay.
Grandpa, my phone is broken. Get me her phone.
Dear.
Here.
-Why is she crying now? -Huh?!
Don't you know the reason?
I don't care about her.
But I don't want anything to happen to the child. Ask her to stop crying.
Grandpa.
I'm going to Tirunelveli. I'll be back tomorrow.
Here.
Keep this.
Stay by her side and take good care.
I don't think I can manage alone.
I have no choice.
I asked Shanmugam for some money.
He asked me to take this ride.
I needed the money. So, I agreed.
It's just a day. Take care.
Don't worry. Everything will be fine.
Hey!
See you. Take care.
Don't be scared, dear.
Stay strong.
It really hurts!

They asked her to come after two days.
Ask her to help till then.

Hello.
Lift, please.
Boss, hello. Stop, please.
Hold on.
Boss, I need to go to Kanyakumari.
-Where are you headed? -Tirunelveli.
Great.
Can you drop me off at Vannarapettai Road?
Sorry. I'm carrying a corpse. I can't give you a ride.
He's a dead man. I don't have any problem.
No, sorry. Find another ride.
HEY.
-Who is that? -The water tanker, sir.
Oh, okay.
Go inside.
Okay, okay.
Go and sit.
This way. Come on.
Dear, Durai is on the phone.
Yes, Durai.
Take him.
Uncle, I've informed the guys at Vannarapettai.
Mmm. Okay.
I'm at the Dina Thanthi office. What time is the funeral?
-At 2 p. m. -Okay, Uncle.
These people don't have a heart.
You felt bad for leaving me behind. Right, boss?
You stopped the vehicle and came walking to get me.
You've got a heart of gold.
Brother, can you push the van?
You knew your van wouldn't start if you stopped. Yet you brought me here!
From now on, every time the van stops, I'll give it a push.
Is that understood?
Tell me. Only then will I help.
Watch this.
Right, right. Let's go now.
Come on.
THE END IS NOT TOO FAR
It's stuck.
Boss, the seat belt doesn't work?
What about your belt?
I only asked if it worked.
It's safe to wear the seat belt.
There, there. Don't cry now.
How long do we just sit here? Say something.
-Just say the word. We'll show him! -Well said.
Stay calm, everyone.
This isn't the time for that.
Tell us what you think.
Shall we have a word with Issaki?
Just what we need now.
Brother, what's he saying?
Uncle.
Let's see what he has to say.
Call him.
-Okay. -Put the call on loudspeaker.
[phone rings]
Yes. Who is this?
This is Marimuthu from Cheranmadevi, Sankarapandi's uncle.
Yes.
Tell me. What is it?
No…
We heard that his remains are being brought there.
Yes. We've planned the funeral for 2 o'clock.
Heard that? He's made arrangements.
There's something really important…
-Go on. -The thing is…
His remains were supposed to arrive here, according to traditions.
-Mm. -Forget about that.
His eldest son has to light his pyre.
Going by that logic,
he's the eldest.
You have anything else to say?
No, son…
He… has to light his pyre.
Anyone can visit a house in mourning.
But it would be better if they kept to themselves.
Do you understand?
Uncle.
-You heard that? Keep to ourselves, it seems. -Why are you silent?
You heard him.
He'll light the pyre, and we just look the other way?
-Uncle. -Come on. Let's go inside.
He wants to do this for the name.
I want to do it because it's my right.
Our father couldn't live with us when he was alive.
We want to do what needs to be done now that he's dead.
What's wrong with that?
We've said what needs to be said. He refuses to budge.
Let's go.
Let's see what happens, come what may!
There are rumors that Sankarapandi will come here. Is it true?
Yes.
He will come here.
That's not a problem, but we don't want any problems between you two.
If they come looking for trouble, I can't help it.
How could you be so blunt, Issaki?
There are cases against you.
If you do end up doing something, that'll blow up in our faces.
What do you want us to do, sir?
Do you want us to stand back and watch?
Had this been your father, would you forfeit your rights?
Hey, what are you even saying?
I told you to talk this out so you could avoid trouble.
Have some coffee.
Take it.
I told you to take the coffee.
What did you just say?
Did that Sankarapandi send you here to strike up a truce?
All I said was that you talk this out!
To hell with talking this through!
My brother will light the pyre.
We want to watch that happen.
Stop trying to poke your nose in this.
Women don't visit cemeteries.
But we will.
Why? Just to see him light the pyre.
We've been through a lot.
When our mother used to take us out when we were kids,
people used to say, "here goes the concubine and her kids, "
and we bore the brunt of it all.
Do you know how we felt then?
Why should we pay for the mistakes of our parents?
You want us to talk it out now?
We've been humiliated.
And we'll fix that.
Issaki, I will be forced to act if things go out of hand.
I don't want you to think it was personal. Okay?
Boss?
Boss.
May I know your name?
He's so stuck up that he can't even answer me.
Okay, let me start.
Aadalarasan was Ambalavaanan's son.
Navarasan was Aadalarasan's son.
My dad, Natarajan, was Navarasan's son.
And I'm Nalinamoorthy, Navarasan's son.
Nalinamoorthy' son…
Unlock your phone, boss. I need to make a call.
Let it remain there.
As though that's the only phone on earth.
Miser.
Can't you hear him honking?
Must be an idiot.
Phew! He finally moved out of the way.
-Can't you keep an eye on the road? -Get lost, idiot!
What does he think of me?
Does he think I'm mad?
Do you think I'm mad just because I hitched a ride with you?
I'm here after I helped out someone just like you helped me.
I always travel by Volvo sleeper bus all the time.
Do you know who I am?
I'm a talented actor!
Careful.
Look. I'm talking to you.
You won't look?
No, better not.
Keep your eyes on the road.
You think I'm kidding about being an actor?
Ever seen Anniyan?
Vikram switches between three emotions effortlessly.
I can switch five emotions effortlessly. Do you want to see that?
Look.
Watch.
Joy.
Sorrow.
Astonishment.
Fear.
Did I scare you? I was just acting.
Believe me now?
Am I not the best?
So many plays and so many stages.
-You idiot! Don't you understand? -You're the one who's being an idiot.
You're not going to negotiate peace.
You're headed for a fight!
I'm the one who's left behind with your child.
-Why are you shouting now? -Why is she shouting?
-Brother… -Is she doing your bidding?
She wants to come along with us.
Hey.
What the hell are you saying?
I know the reason you're all headed there.
How could we stay back knowing what's about to happen?
-Hey. -Brother.
-Brother? -What?
Did you hear?
Thavasi's family has gone there just to brown-nose Issaki.
A few others have joined him.
If we remain silent after this, people will walk all over us!
We need to prove who we are to everyone!
I can't rest till I behead him and throw his corpse in the Thamirabharani!
That's the answer for everything, isn't it?
Are ten corpses the answer to one?
-What if I lose my husband? -Sister-in-law.
-Don't hit her. -What the hell are you going on about?
You think we are cowards?!
Hey! Get back inside.
-Get inside, I said. -What's he mad about?
Stay calm, Sankarapandi.
Come with me.
I thought I'd leave after getting paid for the play,
but Lord Krishna just stood there, crying right before me!
He said his daughter's college fees were due.
Vallarasu was only second to MGR when it came to playing gods.
I really admired him.
He was affectionate towards me.
When I heard him say that, I was upset.
I'm very kind, you see.
I wanted to give him whatever I had on me, like Nadodigal Sasikumar.
But I was broke.
I gave away the 2,000 I got for the play.
Only then did I realize I didn't have a dime to return home.
Thankfully, I had 300 rupees stashed away in my inner pocket.
Can't get far on a Volvo bus with 300 rupees, can we?
Instead of the Volvo, now I'm hearse-bound.
They're from Cheranmadevi, sir.
We heard the news just a while back.
We rushed here as soon as we could.
I'm your uncle.
My heart sank when I heard that he passed away.
Don't worry.
Okay.
Let's go.
Hey, Issaki.
Our relatives are here from Cheranmadevi. Did you meet them?
-I did, sister. -I was delighted.
This is how he usually reacts. Let's make coffee for the guests.
[phone rings]
-Hello? -We're calling from Tirunelveli. Where are you?
-We've just crossed Viluppuram, sir. -Okay.
-Call me when you're near Tirunelveli, okay? -Okay, sir.
[horn honks]
Yeah, I'm coming.
Won't let me smoke inside or outside.
You could've just told me to roll down the windows.
I threw away a whole cigarette there.
He's the owner.
Stop the van! Stop!
Stop the van, boss!
Boss! Stop the van.
Stop…
That guy's injured!
He's begging for help, but you're speeding off?
-Have you gone deaf?! -Hey! Do you know those guys?
Do you only help those you know?
I need to reach the destination on time!
Look! Just shut up and sleep
like you would've done on a Volvo bus.
What a nuisance!
I used to be like you.
One day, I collapsed, clutching my chest.
I cried out for help.
But no one came.
Just as I thought I was about to die,
an angel appeared, all of a sudden.
That angel rushed me to the hospital.
I managed to pull through.
I noticed that after a while
the angel had slowly transformed into a human.
It was a man.
It was indeed a man.
That is when I realized something.
We can transform into angels when we help someone.
There's someone right in front of us begging for help.
Are we even humans?
What have we become?
Okay. Let's not bring up the past.
We're here so that everything goes well.
Did you think coming here will change my brother's mind?
He has made up his mind.
Made up his mind? This is not going to work.
Hey, shut up.
Then? What else should I say?
Do you want me to say what you were thinking?
You didn't give us our due respect.
-So, we're taking it. -Take it.
We're not stopping you from taking what's yours.
But don't forget our customs.
Look who's talking about customs!
When we were toiling here all by ourselves,
none of you were with us.
Did you ever invite us to any events in the family?
To hell with your customs.
Now that my brother is in a good position,
you are all here bowing before him.
-Bowing before him?! -Then?
This is your town and your house.
Bowing down, it seems.
-Watch your words, lady. -Uncle…
-He's talking too much. -Hey!
We might say something you'd regret.
What will you say?
What can you say? Huh?
Won't let a woman talk, huh?
Ask him to talk.
Are you here to solve the problem or blow it up?
I'm not talking to you.
Your sister interrupted when we men were talking.
Why? Can't women talk when men are talking?
What are you even saying?
I told you earlier.
Talking to these people is of no use.
What did you say?
What the hell did you say?
I'll break your face.
I didn't say anything wrong.
I was talking to my people.
Hey, how dare you talk like that?
Shut up.

Does my van look like a bar to you?
How dare you drink in there?
This puts bread on my table. It's my God!
Didn't you sit and smoke inside?
Was that like incense for your God?
Hey. You're going overboard.
You better clean it all up.
Gosh! What a moron!
Clean up.
Her blood sugar level is off the charts.
So her amniotic sac is…
Sorry.
The fluid around the baby is low.
So, the baby might find it hard to breathe.
We have to take the baby out immediately.
Are you okay with that?
Brother?
Push the van.
I'm supposed to shut up and sleep like I'm on a Volvo bus.
Why should I care?
Brother…
Push the van.
What?
Go on.
Alright.
I'll do it.
I'm really kind-hearted.
Boss!
It'll be easier to push if you park it near the slope.
Brother.
I need you to pushbecause the van won't start.
Give it a push.
Please, stop. Stop.
Stop the vehicle.
Hello.
Sir.
Who's that?
-Sir… -Huh?
Where are you going?
To Tirunelveli.
Can you take us with you?
Our bike broke down on our way.
We'll get down in Madurai.
What's he going to say?
Boss?
These kids helped us start the van.
They'll get down on the way.
Shall we give them a ride?
There's a corpse in the van.
Oh.
I knew it.
I knew you'd say this.
Can't we give them a ride?
Brother.
I can't give rides to everyone on our way.
Okay. You leave.
What will they do at this hour?
I'll walk with them.
You can leave.
Sir, please. You don't have to do this.
We'll take care.
Come on.
Hey, listen.
What is your problem now?
Where are you two from?
Her grandma's sick.
I'm accompanying her home from the hostel.
Shall I tell you about myself, this world-class performer?
You should see me playing the role of Karna.
ILANJITTU DRAMA CLUB
It'll be so crowded that you can't even see the ground.
A man emerged out of that crowd.
He's that village's leader.
You can tell that he is an egomaniac with power.
His big mustache showcases his power and arrogance.
The screens open, and it's a battlefield.
Karnan tries to lift the chariot out of the pit.
Sensing the right moment, Krishna instructs Arjuna to shoot the arrow.
The arrow is approaching Karnan.
Not knowing this, Karnan is lifting the chariot.
The arrow pierces his heart.
Karnan, in pain, falls to the ground.
Karnan fell to the ground.
Then came Lord Krishna.
He came disguised.
He asked,
"Lord!"
"Bestow upon me the karma of your virtuous deeds, " he said.
Please donate it to me.
Else, I'll take my leave, sir.
That's the last thing Karnan had with him.
But Karnan happily gave it up and lost his life.
I'm here to see you, my son.
Talk to this sinner.
Look at me, my son!
Talk to your mother, Karna.
Karna! My son!
Karna!
So many people are crying beside me.
My Lord! Look at me. Please!
I open an eye and look at the crowd.
That guy with the mustache…
The guy with such arrogance and power…
I look at him.
He wept like a child, just like everyone there.
It's like all his arrogance came into me.
This Karnan became the lord of arrogance.
Have you watched the movie Anniyan?
Vikram switches between three emotions effortlessly.
But I can switch five emotions effortlessly.
Do you want to see that? Watch this.
Laughter.
Sorrow.
Joy.
Astonishment.
Fear.
Do you understand now that I'm a world-class actor?
Look.
"I transform. "
"I transform!"
A great performer.
Did you take me for a simpleton?
I…
-Son. -Huh?
What is it, sir?
Can you make a call for me?
Sure.
Give it to me.

-Hello? -Hello?
Hang on.
Here you go, sir.
Kumar!
This is your grandpa.
What is it, Grandpa?
The girl in the next bed… died.
I tried calling you so many times.
Why won't you answer the phone?
We have to pay 25,000 to the hospital.
She needs surgery, it seems!
She's scared, man.
When will you be back?
Will everything be okay if I come?
We need to pay the hospital fees.
-Yeah. -Grandpa…
Give the phone to her.
They're not letting me see her.
What am I supposed to do now?
I'm making this call from someone else's phone.
Don't worry.
Tell her I'll pay the fees once I'm back tomorrow.
Okay. Call me if there's anything.
Okay?
As if he answers my calls.
God knows how long
-he'll take to be here and pay the money. -Sir.
Here you go.
[phone rings]
Tell me, buddy.
Are you serious?
What are you saying?
You…
What are you saying?
What's the matter?
What happened?!
They killed my dad!
They killed your dad?!
Drive faster.
Hey…
Stop the van.
Pavi.
Tell them to stop the van. I won't do anything.
Pavi!
Please! Please don't stop!
I beg you. Please don't stop.
Hey.
Stop the van.
Please! Please don't stop the van.
They'll kill us. Please. Don't stop.
-Keep driving. I beg you. -Hey!
Stop the bloody van.
Please, don't stop.
If you don't stop now…
Keep driving.
Please, don't stop.
Please! Drive as fast as you can!
Please! Keep driving!
-You better stop now. -Don't stop the van.
Stop the van, you!
-Stop it. -Brother…
HEY!

Oh, God!

Go! Hurry up!
Careful.
-Why did you stop? -Let's keep going.

Please, let us go.
Kill him!
Please, don't hit him.
Prabhu, get up and run.
[phone rings]
Oh my God!
Tell me.
We caught them.
We're in the stone quarry.
What should I do with him?
Go to Ganesh's petrol bunk.
Get 20 liters of petrol and burn him.
Should I bring Pavi home?
What would she do here?
Burn her, too.
-Dad? -Pavi…
Okay.
Tell them to stop. Please.
How dare you take our girl?
Oh, God! Don't.
STOP!
Hey!
Get lost!
Brother.
Brother?
They'll kill them both in some time.
It's okay if we lose our lives.
Should we fight them?
You have a family to go back to.
But I don't have one.
I'm all alone.
No one would care if I died.
I'll do whatever I can
to save those kids.
Why are you being so cruel?
Stop. Don't hit him.
He might die.
You rabid dogs!
Why are you acting like animals?
Show your might to me.
Come on. Show me.
Come on.
Kill him first.
God! My eyes!
Come on. Show me what you've got.
Get him!
Don't spare a single one of them.
Hey…
Hit him.
Get him.
Come on!
Come on, hurry up.
Hey, what happened?
Thank you.
-Come on. -Careful.
Careful.
Hey. What are you looking at?
Come on. Let's go.
Go on.
Take him to a hospital.
Hey, it's okay, man.
It's alright.
Hey, hey! What are you doing?
Get up, man. Don't cry.
May I know your name, at least now?
Kumar.
That's nice.
My stomach's rumbling.
Can you pull over?
I'll be back.
-Make it fast. -Sure.
Give me five minutes.
We're a respectable family in the village.
A zamin family.
Besides this, she's my only daughter.
How dare Issaki think he can teach me how to get my daughter married!
Would anyone play music when people are in mourning?
They're doing this to taunt us.
He's being rude when we question him.
What do you expect us to do?
I know what to do to him. I'll show him.
Sir, sir! Wait. Please.
No one here's denying his mistake.
There's a wedding in your house.
Why do you want to get involved in trouble now?
Listen to me.
Please don't get into any problems now.
-I'll take care. -Forget about the issue between us.
I respect his father.
I'm letting this go for him.
Listen to me carefully.
My men and I will keep to ourselves till 3 o'clock today.
It's an auspicious time from 3 p. m. to 4 p. m.
The groom's family will come to receive the bride.
If he creates a problem, then…
Sir, we'll wrap it up by 2 p. m.
You better get it done.
-Else? -There won't be any problems.
Everything will be alright.
What say?
Hmm.
A guy came running towards me with a billhook.
At that moment,
my entire body froze.
You should've seen the way he fought.
He grabbed a pole and whipped those guys.
He whipped the life out of them.
Lord Karna.
Someone's glaring at you.
Hey, what the hell are you doing?
It's him. The hero of the story.
Yeah, I can tell.
Come on.
Bye, bro.
-Go. -If you don't like it…
Hey…
This way. Come on.
Hey, go and check.
You check inside.
They're not here, Sabari.
Sabari…
They're not inside.
I think they escaped.
They've left. Move the bags.
Lift it. Lift it.
Did they leave?
Come out.
-Come out. -They've left.
-Leave fast. -Thank you.
Come on.
Go, go!
-Ganesan. -Yes?
Call that driver.
Give me a minute.
[phone rings]
-Hello? -This is Ganesapandi from Tirunelveli.
Where are you now?
We're near Madurai, sir.
Madurai?!
They told me you'll be here by 10 o'clock.
But you haven't even reached Madurai.
You're not understanding the situation.
-Hey… Stop yapping. -I mean…
Ask him to make it fast.
Okay, okay. Make it fast.
We'll be there, sir.
Boss.
Boss?
Boss!
I feel awkward to ask this right now.
I wouldn't do it if I were sober.
Since I had a few drinks
my stomach is rumbling. I'm starving.
-Shall we have a quick lunch? -HEY! HEY! HEY!
All this was because of you.
Don't you dare test my patience. Get lost!
Okay. I'll keep my mouth shut.
You don't need to come along.
Give me some money. I'll grab something for myself.
HEY!
Why the hell did you get drunk?
You're making my life miserable.
Now that you've caused enough trouble, you want to stuff yourself down?
Get lost!
You can't say that!
That's a cuss word. Do you know that?
-How dare you call me that! -Hey, get lost.
How can you shove me when we were talking?
You think I won't hit back?
Try that with someone else, okay?
-Not with me! Got it? -Hey! Go to hell.
I'll kill you if you open your mouth.
Showing off your bravery to me?
Your life will be an unbearable hell!
Mark my words!
-You dared to disrespect an artist? -Bugger off!
You won't prosper! Trust me.
I'm older than him, for heaven's sake!

What is it?
It's just that… I feel guilty.
I'm the cause of this, right?
I'll stay by your side and help you sort it out.
I said we'll solve it. Didn't you hear?
An onion dosa for me!
A dosa for me!
[phone rings]
Two dosas!
Get me one as well.
-Hello? -Is there a corpse in your van?
Who is speaking?
You rescued two people, remember?
Bring them back,
and take the corpse back.
They're not with us.
We dropped them off.
Come again?
Where did you drop him?
Not sure where we dropped him.
Don't you want the corpse, then?
Of course, I want my corpse back.
Then you better get here
and ask for Market Sekar.
They'll tell you.
Come here and take your corpse.
Okay. I'll be there.
Master.
An onion-packed omelette for me.
Please help us out, son-in-law.
Uncle! If they had stabbed him,
I would've handled it along with her father's case.
Now, you've decided to take it up legally. That's not easy.
You should've burnt him to ashes!
Shut it, will you?
You have no idea what happened there.
You want me to shut up?
That's not possible.
Our daughter is a major.
They should've raised her well.
You can't cry about it now.
How dare he?
Who are these people?
Here they are.
Uncle! Uncle!
That driver is here.
We're not looking for trouble.
Return the corpse to us.
We'll be on our way.
Brother! Brother!
Hey! Go to hell!
-Get out! -Hey!
I'll beat you to death!
Why the hell did you come?
He dared to step inside?
-How dare you! -Hey! Stop this!
Rot in hell!
-Let him die. -Hold him. Come on.
-Let him die! Kill him! -Lift him. Come on.
-Stop this! Stop this! -You want that corpse?
Hey! Let go of him.
He might die.
Sekar! Sekar!
-Please don't do this. -Let go!
-Please, Sekar! -Mom!
-You don't have to do this. -Leave me, I said!
-You think I hold on to this life… -Mom!
-to see you becoming a murderer? -Mom!
Let go of me, Mom.
You're making a mistake, son!
Let go of my leg, Mom.
Come to your senses, son.
Mom…
My daughter betrayed me.
How will I…
Oh, dear…
That heartless girl! She put us through this suffering.
I can't bear to watch this!
Please don't do this. Just don't.
There's nothing left for us. We lost everything.
She left my son weeping like this. That swine!
Don't stay here any longer. They might beat you to death. Leave!
Leave right away.
Don't cry, son.
Stop crying, my dear.
It's wrong, son.
It's a mistake.
Don't you ever sin, son.
You'll lose your lives. Get going, you two.
Leave, I said.
Brother…
Please tell them to hand over the corpse. We'll be on our way.
Have you lost your mind?
They saw someone taking the corpse from your van.
They used that to play a trick on you.
Don't stay here.
Get going.
What about the corpse, then?
We crossed Kovilpatti, Uncle.
We'll be there in an hour.
Did you inform everyone about this?
Let's go all out with the arrangements!
Are you crazy?
Just listen to me.
Go on.
We must get it done quietly. Issaki shouldn't find out about it.
What are you saying?
Hey! Just listen to me. You don't understand.
Get here soon.
He's out of his mind. He wants to do it lavishly.
Hey, stop the van.
Hey, why are you asking him to stop the van?
Hello?
Hello!
Mic testing. 1… 2… 3.
My dearest kin and kith!
Beloved friends and town folks!
Since the bride's expected to leave
by 4 o'clock,
we kindly request everyone
-to be ready for the ceremony. -Dear?
I can't go around informing everyone, especially ones in mourning.
Listen to me carefully.
The VIPs especially, listen up!
As we're running short of time
make the arrangements as quickly as possible.
And get your stuff done.
If things go south, the zamin family won't be responsible.
This is Karuppu signing off.
You stinky potato!
What the hell are you saying?
Why are you stirring trouble unnecessarily?
I'll chop you to bits, you rascal!
Get lost!
I'll skin you alive if I ever see your face again.
-Hey! Move. Get going. Come on. -Such maniacs.
They grabbed the mic from me.
-This troublemaker. -There goes the other guy.
Hey! Listen, you.
If you ever step inside… I'll make sure you'll never see the daylight.
Subbaiah Uncle.
What?
Stay happy, you all.
Thank you so much.
-Okay. -Thanks.
-Leave now. -Buzz off, you.
I'll take it from here. You leave.
Hey! If you're a man,
try pulling that on me.
You really thought you could shake things up, huh?
I've been patient for so long,
but you're starting to get on my nerves!
You're dead meat if I see you again. Buzz off, you rascal.
-What? -What?
Do you know who passed away?
Issaki's stepdad, right?
That's all you know.
What do you mean? Tell me.
HEY!
He was as generous as Karnan.
Do you know something?
Your grandfather.
Your father.
That land your family is living on? He gifted it to your family.
Hey, you!
Out of the 600 acres he owned, he donated 500 acres to the workers.
That's my man, Perumal!
How dare you cause a stir at his funeral!
You have no idea what you're doing.
You're making a mistake, Karuppu. A big mistake.
It'll affect generations to come!
Leave!
What are these guys up to?
Brother?
I'll fetch some water.
[phone rings]
The number you're trying to reach is not answering.
[phone rings]
He isn't answering.
Call Subbu.
[phone rings]
Yes, tell me.
Hey, this is Issaki.
Yes, Uncle. Tell me.
Why isn't the driver answering our calls?
You know Sankarapandian's brother Muthupandi, right?
He sent a picture, claiming to be around the corpse.
-What's going on? -What are you saying?
The driver would have informed us if there was any issue.
I'll call the person in charge and get back to you.
Alright then.
-Yes, tell me. -Sir!
Someone has stolen the corpse we sent!
-My relatives are calling me, sir! -Sir.
He would've called me if there was a problem.
He isn't answering our calls!
Everyone's worried.
Find out what the problem is and get back to me.
He's not answering his phone?!
[phone rings]
What's happening?
I don't understand, Aunty.
-Hey, Mari. -Yes. Tell me.
Do you know Sankarapandi's brother, Muthupandi?
Yes. I know him.
He has taken a photo along with what he claims to be the corpse.
-What do you mean? -I don't know what's happening.
Can you check what's happening at Sankarapandi's house?
Okay, I'll have a look and let you know.
Okay.
I don't believe it one bit.
He's doing this just to irritate us.
[phone rings]
Brother…
Someone named Ravi is calling you.
-Ravi? -Hey, it's Shanmugam.
-Tell me. -Why aren't you answering my calls?
I was outside.
What the hell do you mean outside?
Where are you?
-Near Madurai. -What are you doing there?
I…
-I… -Speak up!
The corpse went missing.
What! The corpse went missing?
Did it go missing, or did you sell it to someone?
No. I would never do such a thing.
When they called you from Tirunelveli,
why didn't you tell them that the corpse went missing?
-Th… That… -At least…
You could've told me.
No…
Fine, forget it.
Where were you when they stole it from the van?
I was eating.
What?!
None of this sounds believable, Kumar!
You've done something shady.
Don't ever think you can run away.
They'll find your family and slaughter them.
Keep that in mind.
Brother… Shanmugam brother…
I swear on my unborn child.
-I have no idea who did this. -Hang up, you…
Brother… Brother…
Here.
Damn it!
We'll take care of that.
What the hell can he do?
Like he's some hotshot.
Hello.
Hey, old man! Did you guys steal it midway?
-Steal what? -I heard his remains are being brought here.
-Who said so? -Hey!
-Don't get me started. -Okay. Don't get mad.
Get lost.
Then why are you here instead of heading to Kalakkad?
Who said we're not headed there?
-So, you're going then? -Get lost. Go!
Okay. Okay. Relax. Get going, then.
-He's getting on my nerves. -Senseless guy.
-Yeah, tell me. -I've asked around town.
There are no signs of them stealing the corpse.
Looks like they're headed to Kalakkad from what they're saying.
Okay. Okay.
It doesn't sound like they've stolen the corpse from what he's saying.
Okay.
-Hey. Come on. -Kumar called now.
What does he want?
-Do you know what's happening there? -He told me everything.
He stabbed me in the back for trusting him with this.
To hell with this, I'm going to inform the party.
-I have nothing to do with this. -Wait, brother. Wait.
He's one of us. He's caught in a deadlock.
What can I do?
Shanmugham brother…
Did you notice one thing?
The guy died from a broken head.
[phone rings]
-Tell me, brother. -Kumar.
There's a guy named Maasanam at the Madurai mortuary.
Go and meet him. We've told him everything.
Okay, I'll do that.
Look, call me if you need anything once you get there.
Thanks a ton.
Talk to him.
Hey, Kumar. It's me, Shanmugham.
Tell me.
Answer the phone if they call you.
If they ask, tell them you've crossed Madurai.
I'll take care of the rest.
-Okay. -Got it?
-Just a minute. Inform him yourself. -Okay. Okay.
Uncle, Subbu's on the phone.
-Tell me. -Uncle.
I spoke to that guy.
There's no problem like you thought.
He's on his way there.
Why isn't he answering our calls?
His van broke down somewhere.
He got out to fix the problem.
And that's when you called him.
Fine.
Okay.
It's all good, it seems.
He says the van is on its way.
When they can make a dead leader like MGR dance these days,
this must be computer graphics.
RAJAJI GOVERNMENT HOSPITAL, MADURAI
Where are you?
-We're here. -You've arrived?
Where are you?
-Opposite to the mortuary. -Where?
-Opposite to the mortuary. -Opposite to the mortuary?
Why did you come here like you're family?
I'm giving you an unknown corpse. Please understand that.
Park the van outside and wait.
I'll call you.
[phone rings]
-Hello? -Buy the stuff to prepare the corpse at the shop.
-Okay. -Come here when I call you.
Give me a set to dress up the corpse.
Hey.
-Not this. The one in pink. -This one?
Add this.
-How much is it? -Four hundred and eighty five rupees.
-Hello? -Hello.
-Sir? -Maasanam, get rid of that accident case first.
-Okay, sir. Okay. -He's a relative of the minister.
My head is on the line. Take care of that first.
Definitely, sir.
Brother?
Are you headed to Kalakkad?
Have a look at this.
Go on.
He must be a big shot.
He has a lot of relatives.
They won't spare you if you go there without a corpse.
Thank heavens you found a corpse.
Imagine what might have happened otherwise.
Brother.
Hello.
Everything's ready, brother.
That's fine.
An accident case has turned up.
He's the minister's son-in-law.
Four to five of them…
They want us to perform the postmortem immediately.
Your bad luck. The usual police escort isn't here.
A new guy is here, but how do I explain all this to him?
If I move the corpse now, I'd get in trouble.
Please don't mistake me.
Please leave.
-I'll explain things to Shanmugham. -Brother.
How could you say that?
We came here thinking you'd help.
We'd end up in trouble if they found out the corpse went missing.
-Lift her. Go on. -Bring her here.
-Lift her. -Lift her. Lift her.
Watch her legs.
-Put her legs on the bed. -Careful now.
-Get her some water. -I'll get it.
-Wake up, sister! -Where's the water?
Open your eyes, sister!
Sister!
Make way, people.
-Move. -What happened?
Hey, why are you crying?
What happened? Why are you crying now?
Leave the room, everyone.
-Rasaiah, take them outside. -Come on. Let's go.
-Get going. -Let's go. Come on.
Come on.
My dear…
Sit.
My dear.
Did you know that the folks from Cheranmadevi have left?
Did you know?
So the photo he sent…
-Is it true? -Sister.
It's not true.
Stop worrying like a fool.
But the things that are happening around us look otherwise.
Don't you think so?
Issaki…
If Sankarapandian ever lights that funeral pyre…
-That'll be the last you see of me. -Don't say such things, sister.
His corpse is headed here.
There's a way.
But, it's risky.
Are you willing to take the risk?
Tell me.
I'm willing to do anything.
[phone rings]
-Tell me, sir. -Where are you now?
I've crossed Madurai, sir.
-Crossed Madurai, you say? -Yes, sir.
Take a photo before his corpse and send me the photo.
A photo? Sir?
-Hey! -What, sir?
Don't you understand what I just said?
Okay, sir.
Just a minute!
Have you forgotten?
You said his head was smashed in, right?
I'll put my head at an angle.
That'll make it look original.
Careful! Careful! My stomach hurts!
Okay. Okay.
Look at this.
He's sent us the picture. Look.
In the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit…
Amen.
[in unison] Amen.
Hey,
I'm off to eat.
You can go ahead and take it.
Okay, shall I leave?
See you around.
See you.
Dig it up.
Dig it well!
That's it. Go on.
Push it a little in. Yeah, that's the way.
Be careful.
Look! He has a ring on his finger.
A ring.
-A bonus. -A bonus? Of course, it is!
I told my aunty a zillion times not to bury him with his ring.
But in vain.
Don't you usually come in the night?
Why are you here this early? Who are you?
We're not here for the ring.
Don't tell me you're here to take this rotting corpse?
-Yep, that's why we're here. -You drunkards!
Tell me who you are.
Wait, I'll show you who I am!
Hello? Hey, David?!
Where the heck are you?
You drunkards! Come to the cemetery immediately!
Two men are out to rob the ring.
Get here, quick. I've caught them red-handed!
Bloody heck!
Let go of me, you!
If I catch you, I will--
-Here's your shirt. Let's go! -Thank you.
You're escaping?!
Hey, you! Stop there!
I will catch hold…
Stupid ring won't come off easily!
-You, who are you? -He's there! Inside!
They've caught hold of him! Go and get him!
Wait till I get them.
Can't you make up your mind?!
Why are we doing this here and not in our village?
We're sending him off like an orphan instead of celebrating his life!
Brother, stop.
Why are you hitting him?
Hey…
What did I say?
Let go of me!
Why are you hitting me?
Why did you take that photo?
What's wrong with that?
What do you get from that?
Uncle, we're here because of him.
But he doesn't even realize that.
He didn't say anything wrong.
-Hey, get lost. -Leave.
Listen to me, Sankarapandi.
Muthupandi, go home.
Go.
Leave, everyone.
Now's not the time for this.
We're running late already.
Hey, bring him out.
Get to work.
Quick.
Move it!
Hey, why is the police here?
The corpse hasn't arrived, but they're here already.
How could you be so careless, Issaki?
The Zamindar keeps calling me.
What have you decided?
Sir.
The van got delayed.
It'll be here any minute.
And when will you start the funeral?
It's already past noon.
Nothing ever goes as we expect.
Sometimes, things get delayed.
You know it's delayed. Why didn't you inform the station?
-Why do you think we're there? -Sir!
You're talking as if we did this on purpose.
We're already worried the van has arrived.
-Why are you shouting at us? -Shouting at you?!
Who is shouting?
You all have forgotten that you're talking to an officer!
What did you say at the station?
You promised to wrap this up by two, didn't you?
Why is he shouting like this?
Look, Issaki.
You can bring the corpse here if you'll wrap it up before two.
Else, take it to the graveyard and do the final rites.
What? Did we go through all this just to take the body to the graveyard?
Be quiet, lady. Let them talk.
As if.
Sister, please. Be quiet.
As if I'm the one creating problems here.
We can't even see his face for one last time.
Listen, Issaki.
It's not advisable to bring the corpse here in this situation.
Take him to the graveyard and perform the last rites.
Go and check where that moron is.
[phone rings]
Shanmugam brother…
Tell me.
Brother…
We couldn't find the corpse.
I know, Kumar.
I did what I could.
As soon as I handed you the body, my job was done.
I helped you to try to ease my conscience.
Now, it's between you and them.
Don't ever bother me again.
Deal with it yourself.
Brother…
-Shanmugam brother… -Kumar.
You want my advice?
My wife says this to me often.
"Stay away from trouble. "
"And stay away from people who attract trouble. "
I never used to pay heed to that.
But today, I believe her.
Brother, please. Shanmugam brother…
Don't ever call me again.
-Hang up now. -Brother.
In a short while
TKS Ragupathi Pandiyan and Sundarameenatchi's daughter's
bride-receiving ceremony will begin.
[phone rings]
-Hello? -Kumar, where are you?
Tell me, Kalai.
The nurse keeps nagging us to pay the fees.
I feel embarrassed.
You left us alone here.
Come here soon.
How do you expect me to come?
You gave up all the money we saved for your pregnancy.
I'm in this situation because of you.
Do you even know what's happening with me?
I'm on the streets with literally nothing.
You idiot!
Why are you getting mad?
What did I do?
Why are you shouting at me?
What do you expect? It's all because of you.
I know your problem.
You don't want me here. Right?
Are you mad?
You need not pay for me.
Don't do anything for me.
-What? -I'll go home.
Yes. Go home.
Go and die.
You die there. I'll die here.
God! What a pain!
She might as well kill me.
Damn it!
Hey! Brother!
Why did you do that?
-WHY? -What the hell?
God, I'm shivering.
My God!
Sit down.
Please sit down.
Did you lose your mind?
Every problem has its solution.
Here.
Drink this.
Come on. Drink this.
Listen to me. Drink.
Nothing good ever happens to me.
I don't know where I went wrong.
On one side, they are waiting for the money.
On the other side, they're waiting for the corpse.
I'm an unlucky guy.
Don't be around me.
Get going.
Go.
No. I'll be with you.
My mom died giving birth to me.
My dad also abandoned me.
I've never even seen their faces.
We…
We had two babies.
Do you know how I saw them?
They gave my babies
wrapped in a shroud.
My babies died
the moment they were born.
When I saw them like that,
I wanted to thrash the hospital staff.
But I couldn't.
I've carried
so many corpses
with my hands.
But
when I carried my babies' corpses,
I understood the pain.
Drink some water, thambi.
Please. Drink.
Drink it.
Brother, give me your phone.
Hello?
Hello, this is Nalinamuthu.
This is your uncle.
Okay. Okay, I'll be there soon.
Alright.
Brother…
All your problems are solved.
Everything's alright.
Here. Take your phone.
Start the van.
We're going to Palayamkottai Hospital to get a corpse.
Come on.
Quick.
-Come on. Start the van. -You need to push it.
How could I forget?
Wait.
Brother…
It wasn't right to shout at your pregnant wife like that.
That was wrong.
A word can take a life.
Brother…
As long as I live, I will not let her die.
I know about her.
Do you know something?
The doctors blamed my wife's diabetes
for the deaths.
A doctor near our house told us
that having a third baby
is a threat to my wife's life.
But my wife never paid heed to them.
This is our third baby.
She has no fear for her life.
She just wants me to be happy.
That's why,
I didn't worry about the money.
I admitted her to a reputed hospital.
Brother…
Are you married?
We're looking for a girl.
But all the women are too old for me.
Brother, stop kidding me.
I'm not kidding you.
I didn't think about marriage as long as my mom was alive.
When she died, I was too old for marriage.
Did you like your mom so much?
Like?!
You won't believe it.
I tried to kill myself on the third day she died.
The bloody idiots there saved me.
I tried one more time.
They saved me again.
I lost all my peace.
Drama was my only solace.
That's dying, too.
I give my all when I act. But nobody cared.
To hell with this drama.
Everything's gone.
OBITUARY K NARAYANA PERUMAL
[phone rings]
Who is it?
Those guys from Tirunelveli.
Tell them that you're on the way.
But we don't have the body.
It's not like they'll come here and check.
-Hello? -What the hell is your problem?
-It's… -Why aren't you picking up our calls?
Give me a minute.
Sorry.
The van broke down again.
What the hell! You keep giving the same excuse.
It's fixed. I'm on my way.
Where are you?
I've crossed Sivarakkottai.
-Make it fast. -I'll be there.
What did he say?
He has crossed Sivarakottai.
[phone rings]
-Yes, tell me. -Uncle.
He answered my call finally.
He says his van broke down.
He's crossed Sivarakottai. And we've crossed Kovilpatti.
We'll see him soon.
Okay. Take care.
You're driving too slow. Go faster.
We need to get there before he calls again.
Guys, keep a watch on the opposite lane.
-He might drive past us. -Okay.

MORTUARY VAN
[phone rings]
Son, this is the Zamindar speaking.
Yes.
We're taking the bride to the marriage hall. You continue with the rituals.
Okay, brother.
Hey, let's go.
HEY!
COME ON EVERYONE. IT'S HERE!
THE VAN IS HERE.
COME ON.
MORTUARY VAN
I didn't expect to see you like this!
COME ON.
[Nalinamoorthy] You have a family to go back to.
But I don't have one.
I'm all alone.
No one would care if I died.
Dad.
Dad…
Oh, God!
The screens open, and it's a battlefield.
Karnan tries to lift the chariot out of the pit.
Sensing the right moment, Krishna instructs Arjuna to shoot the arrow.
The arrow is approaching Karnan.
Not knowing this, Karnan is lifting the chariot.
The arrow pierces his heart.
Karnan, in pain, falls to the ground.
Then came Lord Krishna.
He came disguised.
He asked,
"Lord!"
"Bestow upon me the karma of your virtuous deeds, " he said.
That's the last thing Karnan had with him.
But Karnan happily gave it up and lost his life.
So many people are crying beside me.
I open an eye and look at the crowd.
That guy with the mustache…
The guy with such arrogance and power…
I look at him.
He wept like a child, just like everyone there.
It's like all his arrogance came into me.
This Karnan became the lord of arrogance.
Death report, sir.
Please check if everything's there.
So…
Did the van give you a lot of trouble?
Yes, sir.
Your tardiness caused too much confusion.
We assumed the worst.
Where did you get hurt?
I met with a small accident on the way.
Uncle?
-Give him 10,000 extra. -Okay.
I'm the cause of this, right?
I'll stay by your side and help you sort it out.
Brother, all your problems are solved.
Everything's alright.
I transform.
