The machine mustn't break. Let me check the weight.

You weigh 140 kilos. Get down, now.

- Is that all? - Go on!

You are the only one that constable pays

Such nonsense! He owes me thirty ₹5.

Take this. You will be fine.

Is that so?

- Powerful tablet. - Really?

Oi, pay for the tea as thanks.

This is not worth that much!

Take this money.

- What's up, Mr. Velu? - What are you looking at, Panjavarnam?

Is it the free sugar?

Velu, make her tea soon. Let her be on her way.

Are you hurrying to hoist the flag?

I would be. But I am on my way to a protest now.

Your life is a struggle in itself. Why do all this?

Buzz off!

I am for the people. I will stand by them through anything.

Who else will do all this? You cheat of a tea maker!

- Teacher, what is this? - Sorry, sir!

Not playing the other song?

“Arrest him! Arrest him!”

“Arrest the Inspector! Arrest him, arrest him!

“Justice! Justice! We want Justice!”

“Justice! Justice! We want Justice!”

This morning during an interrogation...

...our comrade Muthu was killed by the policemen.

We demand justice for his family.

The Inspector and Sub Inspector should be charged with murder.

Arrest him! Arrest now!

Arrest the Inspector!

Arrest him! Arrest now!

You have no permission to protest here. Leave now, please.

It was canceled last minute.

I will be forced to arrest you.

You think we don't know this?

- Bring the vehicle around! - Arrest him! Arrest him!

“BEEF BIRIYANI ₹30.”

You increased the rate?

Price increases with consumption!

I only have ₹25.

I will let you eat today.

Don't get stingy with the meat.

I would never do such a thing.

Velu, give them all tea.

Give me one, too.

You have already had so much. Stay quiet!

Velu, the head constable has a big stoma

All this won't be enough for him. Give him another tea.

You were on a hunger fast Now aren't you having tea?

You are the ones who ended it.

Shut up you all! Inspector has ears of a snake!

Snake has ears, is it?

Oi, you are under arrest now.

How dare you question me.

Oi, only a female cop can arrest me. Where is she?

Where?

Oh god! You too?

He takes off his hat when he can't answer!

- Tea for you? - I don't want, brother.

Move aside!

Why don't you enjoy your tea and snacks? Why get involved in protests?

They aren't responding to our Right to Information complaints.

We struggled so much to enforce this act

Now it is in practice but no one cares.

Many don't even know that such an act exists.

If no one is listening to you why do all this?

- Mr. Velu! - Yes.

Nothing changes overnight. You must keep fighting.

Only if you question the wrongs will reduce.

Am I right, Comrade?

Heard that!

They will kill you soon.

- Here, is it? - Stop!

- I am going to meet my brother. - All right, I will see you.

Bagath, take this.

- You must all attend. - Of course, we will.

- I will take leave now. - Make sure you are there!

- Come. How are you? - I am good, brother.

Ramesh, have we invited everyone at the MLA's office?

Yes. We need to go to Ramavaram now.

Oi, be there for my daughter's ceremony this Friday.

Alright.

Ramesh...

- You need something? - Tea, brother?

- No. Leave. - All right.

Should we go on then?

Get changed. Let's go home.

- Isn't dad here? - No!

Teacher, can I bring these clothes tomorrow?

I want to show it to my dad.

- All right. - Thanks, teacher!

Bommai! Bye!

- Eat well. - That's enough.

Eat, eat!

Drunk, is it?

Slightly!

I have some for dad. Take it without fail.

My drinking makes the government happy. What is it to you?

Give him some onions.

Bommai!

Where is she?

She has been in the same clothes since morning.

She is furious.

I leave you both to it.

Why angry?

You said you would come.

The sari is beautiful.

This is Mother India costume. I danced in this.

You didn't show up at all.

- If you skip school, who will scold you - Teacher.

My owner will scold me the same way.

In that case, I will grow up to be a teacher.

You become the owner.

They won't let me.

Didn't you say no?

Pa, give it to me.
