Thambi (தம்பி)

50 liters to Coimbatore and 50 liters to Mettupalayam.

It's 12:00 am. There will be no one at the check-posts.

So, better hurry. - Okay.

We agreed to two bags. Why did you bring just one bag?

Do you know how difficult it is to bring this stuff

and how many check-posts we need to cross?

Just take what I give you and leave.

What's that noise?

It's the long haired mad man.

Send him away. What will we do if the police come?

Go, send him away.

Stop that music!

Can't you hear me? Stop the music and get down.

You...

Give that to me.

How dare you hit me!

Hey, you! Your friend got into a fight. Come and get him.

Oh no, that fool!

Stop it.

Manmohan...

Why did you hit him so hard?

Oh no! The police are here!

The police are coming! Let's go!

15 YEARS LATER

'Listen to me!'

'I told you, Mom.'

'Wait a minute. - How can I just give it to you?'

'Hello!'

'Listen, our Sarva left home in anger.'

'He left this morning.'

'Don't worry. I'll handle him.'

'Hello, Inspector! It's me, Gyanamurthy.'

'My son left home in anger. Can you please find him?'

Sister!

Looks like we'll lose this case in the next hearing.

But how can the verdict be in their favor?

Lots of fake documents have been created.

And lots of bribes have been given.

How can you give up at this point?

These people depend on the forest for their livelihood.

How can they evacuate them to build a resort?

I agree that they have been living in the forest for years.

But they don't have any legal documents.

What legal documents? Will you ask

the elephants, tigers and lions for documents too?

Please don't get upset.

These things sound good in theory.

But we can't present them in court as valid arguments.

Moreover, opposition party member Mr Manmohan

is supporting them.

So, it's very difficult for us to win.

We have been living on this mountain for years

ever since the first flower blossomed here.

How can they just come and ask us to leave?

You don't have to leave, and nobody can make you leave.

Trust me. You will continue to live there.

We will win this case. You all go home in peace.

Thank you, sir. We'll see you later.

Hello, madam!

What's wrong?

Today is Sarva's birthday.

Today marks the day he left home 15 years ago.

Parvati! Your little brother will be back, dear.

He'll be back.

Go back. Stop.

Get out of the way!

The case is still in court. You know that, right?

Why did you... - Hey!

Why did you bring the trucks? - Listen!

The verdict is going to be in our favor.

If we start the construction now we can complete it by next season.

Shut up and get lost!

You! Take these trucks and leave.

Don't start an unnecessary fight.

What will you do?

You think they are on your side?

They are on my side. Look at them standing behind me.

What are you doing?

I'm sorry, sir.

We are living in fear that they will destroy our houses any day.

We think it's better to accept the money and leave.

But... - Wait a minute.

Why do you need money so badly?

We are fighting for you guys here. We won't give up.

Please listen to me.

I assure you that I'll get back your lands and houses.

Excuse me. Enough of your drama...

I'll kill you if you say another word!

I should have killed you when you influenced my son.

What is going on here?

The police! Run!

Why did you come here?

Do you have permission to be here?

Sir, let me explain. - Get lost!

What's this, Manmohan? You are an educated man.

Don't you know that the case is still in court?

Why did you all gather here? Go home.

I'll have to arrest you if you make a scene here.

Uncle, I'll handle this matter.

Come on, move! Go home!

Karan will handle it. Don't worry. Let's go.

Last warning.

I won't spare you if you harm my people.

Wait a minute. Are you their father?

Yes, I'm their father and their leader.

I see. Then answer this.

You couldn't even take care of your own son and

you'll take care of all these people?

Everybody, listen! Where is his son?

He ran away. Alright,

he has a young daughter at home.

Did he get her married? No.

Why not?

You! How dare you! - Let me go!

Mind your tongue! - Get lost.

First take care of your family.

Then you can take care of these people.

Leave me.

You destroyed my son's life.

Now you are trying to destroy the lives of these people.

I won't spare you.

Uncle, I said I'll handle him. Please go home.

It's useless talking to people like him. - I won't spare you.

Let's go home.

What do you want to study today? - Please tell us a story! Story!

Okay, sit down. Don't make noise.

Which story do you want to hear? - Honeycomb story.

Which story? - Honeycomb story.

Okay, settle down. I'll tell you the story.

One man was walking in the forest.

Suddenly a dog growled at him.

Before he could hit it with a stone, it ran away.

After that he started walking again.

After walking for a long time, he felt hungry.

Then he saw a honeycomb.

He took a stone and hit the honeycomb.

All the bees inside the comb started attacking him.

So he ran for his life.

Listen! A honey bee is tiny in comparison to a dog.

So why did he run away from it? - Why?

Because the bees fought as one.

So, what is the moral of the story?

That man is an idiot.

You shouldn't hit a honeycomb with a stone.

You should just put smoke under it.

What? - Yes. He did a mistake.

There's a certain way to do certain things.

Okay, now go bring a piece of chalk.

Hold this for me.

Nobody cares for the truth.

Unity is strength, no matter what you do.

We can face any problem if we are united.

So, will you tell this to your parents?

We will!

Miss! Even our parents will tell us to put smoke under it.

Run along now! - Oh no!

Uncle! Bye!

Bye!

Hurry up.

Sister! - Sarva!

Sarva!

Sarva!

Hello!

Yes.

What?

Where?

Hello, sir! - Hello.

Come with me.

You've been sending details about your missing son

every year and that's why I contacted you.

The last time we met was six years ago?

Yes.

When I went to investigate another case I found a lead about your son.

You said he went missing 15 years ago, right?

Yes.

Where is he now? - I'll tell you.

But first you need to know a lot about him.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.

I'm Vicky. I'm your guide for today.

We are standing in Fort Aguada built in 1606 by the Portuguese.

Aguada means 'serving water.' Right side is Mandovi river.

Back side is Arabian Sea.

This has two parts. Upper part. Lower part.

Upper part is for serving water. Lower part is for the ships.

Sorry, no photography.

A guide?

Not just a guide.

Lots of thieves.

What?

Lots of people will cheat you.

You want a good hotel at a cheap price, I'll get you.

I don't take any commission.

Oh, okay.

Out with the money! Now! - Please don't hit us. Please.

Where did you keep it? - I don't have any.

Come on, out with it. Come on.

Leave them alone!

Leave them alone!

Who are you? - How can you beat up small kids?

Who are you to question us?
