Hey Muthappa! Did you see Selvam?

- Are you asking for our Selvam? - Yes, did you see him?

I spoke to him just now. - Where?

- In Satta's shop. - Oh! Satta's shop! Yes. Selvam!

- One small thing, brother. - Is this a small thing?

Not that.. I don't remember whether..

I spoke to him yesterday or the day before that.

- What is it? - Oh! It smells so bad.

- What are you talking about? - Your mouth.

Come on, get up. - Oh brother! Yes it's me. Come on, get up.

- How much did you drink? - Not much, only little.

You don't have to tell me anything. Come, let's go.

Hey! What's this wound on your face?

- A mosquito bite. - No, you've had a fight.

Hey! Come here.

Mother!

Hey, Selvam.

Mother! What happened?

It's me, mother!

- What's wrong with my mother? - Don't get angry, calm down.

It doesn't appear to be an ordinary illness..

it's better if you admit her to hospital.

Rani! We'll take mother to the hospital, get ready.

You may take my tractor.

- What is it? - I don't have money, brother.

Aren't you ashamed? Do you have money to drink?

Do you have money to watch films?

Your mother works hard and earns money and you spend it.

Have you ever earned money and fed your mother?

He's bent on killing her.

Here, take this money come, let's go.

- From where did you get it? - Is it important?

Come, let's go.

Sir! My mother's serious. She's out in the rain..

please admit her.

Doctor's not in, he'll come only tomorrow..

you can admit her in the morning.

I beg of you, please admit her.

As it is she's shivering.

Look! It's not possible to admit her now.

Don't trouble us, come in the morning.

Sir! I've brought money too.

- Can't you understand when you're told once?

Go now and come back tomorrow.

What do I do if something goes wrong?

If anything happens then take her to the graveyard.

What did you say? Should I take her to the graveyard?

Hey! Get out.

Get out. Did you raise your hands on us? Get out.

What's the commotion here?

He's a drunkard and he has come here..

to trouble us unnecessarily.

Sir! My mother's serious, I came to admit her..

but they don't agree to admit her.

Why do you trouble us when we asked you..

to come tomorrow? - She won't survive till then.

- Take her in at once. - Doctor will come only..

at 8 o'clock in the morning.

Periyathambi! Take him to the doctor's residence..

if your doctor doesn't come at once then only his..

dead body will come here tomorrow. Go.

- Hey! Take that lady in. - Okay. Get the stretcher.

Son! Don't worry. I'll take care of everything.

Doctor! How is my mother now?

She's out of danger but henceforth it's in your hands..

to take care of her and not in my hands.

- Sir! - Yes. If you want her to be with you..

for some more time, then should take proper care of her.

Definitely sir. Thank you very much.

You should thank that gentleman. If he wouldn't come..

here in time, even I wouldn't be able to save her.

Hey Manju! Put this vermilion on my forehead.

- Where's Periyathambi? - He's waiting for you.

Collector called, he wants to speak to you personally.

He'll come in the evening.

Greetings to you sir!

- Sir! Please save us. - Please get up..

Tell me, what's the matter. Don't get tensed.

He opened his shop as usual and sold liquor..

but all those who drank it, died.

The police sealed the shop and arrested him as well.

- Is our M.P. in town? - Yes. - Call him at once. - Okay.

Don't worry, your husband will come back home.

I trust you, so I'll leave now.

Please go.

- How are you Munian? - Sir! I'm fine.

My daughter Meenakhshi's marriage has been fixed..

for the 10th of this month. I've come her to pay respects to you.

Seek his blessings, child.

- Get up. Do you like the boy? - Yes.

Periyathambi! Give Munian, Rs 5000.

- You may ask for more. This isn't enough. - Okay sir!

We'll leave now.

What's the matter, son? How is your mother now?

Sir! I don't know how to thank you.

My mother's alive only because of you.

It's by God's grace. What did the doctor say?

She shouldn't strain herself and take complete rest.

Will you take care of her?

I'll take up a job and definitely take care of her.

- Will you work for me? - Why do you ask me, sir?

No, the government doesn't like the work I do..

so think well before you agree.

Did the government save my mother?

Does the government help the needy people?

You may arrange for any kind of job.

Okay, come tomorrow, I'll ask Periyathambi to..

arrange for a suitable job, okay.

- I take your leave, sir. - Okay.

- What's this father? - Don't interfere in these matters Chinnathambi.

Tell me why you've come here.

A new inspector has been..

transferred to our village. He's a widower and has a 4 year old daughter..

and an unmarried sister.

He's joining duty today, and his name is Peter Manohar.

What happened to lnspector Nagarajan's case?

Inspite of our efforts, we couldn't get any proof.

Did he have any enemies?

- He had many enemies in his profession. - Who are they?

We can't tell who it is, specifically.

- What do you mean? - Sir, actually.. - Yes tell me.

There's one man called Devarajan whom the villagers worship.

What's his profession?

- Why should we brother about that? - Answer me.

See for yourself. Then? He has an export business.. - Then?

and also does smuggling, yet he is very generous.

He helps the needy people.

- Did he kill Nagarajan? - That was an accident, sir.

That wasn't an accident.

All of us know about it.

Just as the priest robs a temple..

there are some bad elements amongst us too.

Jyothi!

Anu!

Look at your face, it's pale. You got scared, isn't it?

- Tell me. - Why did you play such a game?

You said you'll come at Six o'clock. Why are you late?

Does that mean you should scare me?

Greetings!

I'm Peter Manohar. She's Jyoti, my sister..

and this is Anu. We're new to this place.

Though we're Christians, Jyoti is interested..

- in Bharat Natyam. - Me too.

I'd be happy if you train them.

Go and give it to her. Go.

Please get up.

Thank you. I'll leave now.

- Have you learnt dance before? - A little.

I too know a little. My mother taught me.

Doesn't your mother teach you now?

She's no more.

Don't worry, I'll teach you, okay.

Put them into the vehicle.

- How's the fish business, Muthu? - Good, sir.

Stop! First fix a price for the fish and then take it.

Hey! Who asked you to come here? Go away.

- You may take them. - Stop!

How long will you continue to be like this?

Who's he, Muthu?

He's my son. He was studying in town. He's just come you please take them.

Stop! You can't take even a single fish without answering me.

Muthu! Has your son gone mad?

No, I've just recovered from my madness.

Is it fair on your part to cheat us by paying only 1/2 the price!

We're not cheating you. You're able to have a morsel..

of food only because our lord wishes to feed you.

He isn't giving us money just like that.

He exploits us and reaps the fruit of our hard work.

Go and tell him that.

Do you talk bad of our lord?

Repeat it if you have the courage. He exploits--

You dare not speak bad of our Lord.

Identify the one who beat your son.

Is he the one?

Look carefully and identify.

- No sir. - Don't fear, we're with you. Tell me the truth.

He's denying isn't it? Why do you force him them?

This is a police station and not your father's home.

You're right sir. I remember. Do you have a match box?

Even a government servant seems to be honest.

- Send them away. - Hey! Get out.

Why didn't you tell the truth when I was there?

You're talking bravely because of your profession.

We're residents of this place..

so we can't dare to say anything against our lord.

For how long are you going to be like this?

We're used to it sir I'll leave now.

300 Rs. You used to scold me for taking out..

money from the money bank. What do you say now?

In the past I was sleepless because of you.. but now I've lost my peace of mind.

What are you talking mother?

I heard the police arrested you yesterday.

- Who told you that? - Do you know how I felt?

Why do you get upset? I've been released, isn't it?

Whatever you may say, I don't like the people..

for whom you're working.

You've mistaken the noble man. He's like God.

He's the cause for your recovery.

- I'd prefer to die. - Why do you say that?

I'm sure you didn't have your medicines.
