Raangi (ராங்கி)

Hey, how dare you guys kill policemen?!

Bloody murderers!

-Get me that rope! -Stop!

How dare you!

Sir, I'll confess everything.

We got a call from an organization in Libya.

They gave us the details about the Inspector

and asked us to kill him and the other policemen with him.

That's why we killed them.

Hey, stop spinning lies, damn it!

-I'll blow out your brains! -I swear, we got a call from Libya.

They said, "The Inspector has arrested a girl.

Nothing should happen to that girl, "

and asked us to kill the Inspector

and the others before they get to the police station.

We don't mess around with the police otherwise.

That's right, Ravi. The reporter who recorded the shoot-out live

was arrested that day under suspicion.

Isn't this the same reporter who exposed the Minister?

If we nab her, we'll know the truth.

-How dare you kill policemen! -Sir!

Come on, hurry up!

-Are you the reporter Thaiyal Nayagi? -Yes.

-We need to talk. -I don't have time.

Hey, didn't you hear me?

-Hey, who are you? -Our question exactly. Who are you?

Who's the reporter Thaiyal Nayagi?

I am from CBI. They're FBI agents.

They have the Indian Government's permission to take her along.

Looks like the first time she's being handcuffed.

-You're right. -Yeah.

Thaiyal, if you answer their questions truthfully, you'll be safe.

Don't be under the illusion that you're safe just because you're a media person.

The news of your arrest won't even make it to the news.

The worst case scenario is

your colleagues will share it on social media,

and that will be shared by another ten people.

We'll register a complaint that you went missing.

No one will even know if you're dead or alive.

Don't try to leave out anything. No tricks.

-Sir… -Sir…

-Thank you, sir. -Okay, sir.

Sir, what's the purpose of your visit to Italy?

In this current state of affairs,

it's imperative to be friendly with other countries to protect our nation.

But that's not the only purpose of my visit.

In the process of inviting them to invest in our country,

we can generate a lot of employment opportunities.

Sir, if such a company comes on board, how many people will get employed?

Thaiyal, why are you standing outside?

Our politicians are not going to make our people CEOs.

They'll invite Italy and say, "We have cheap labor in our country.

You can come and be their CEO. "

They're not going to do anything good for the country.

He's unlike other politicians.

He's honest.

I never denied the fact.

If you agree, then behave like a responsible journalist.

As per my knowledge, the last honest journalist in Tamil Nadu was my father.

It's been seven years since he died.

So, you don't consider your brother a journalist?!

You mean this guy?

He makes a living by reporting gossip.

Don't you consider yourself a journalist?

If you call me a journalist…

then what would you call Gauri Lankesh?

I need a job for social status.

I turn incidents that occur around me into news,

and I get paid for it. That's it.

They report the news about an old man picking up a girl at a bar…

but did any of the journalists investigate the case

of the old man who asked Prof. Sharmila to supply him with college girls?

Did they even report the news to put the pervert behind bars?

They didn't, right?

Politicians make sounds on the podium with empty promises.

The Government imposes new rules by the day.

In Natesan Nagar, they closed a pond and built quarters for IAS officers.

Not even one journalist has reported the news about it.

All the flats are owned by government officers.

The buck didn't stop there.

They've built a compound wall around the pond.

Bloody frauds!

We report the news that doesn't harm us

and call ourselves reporters and journalists, without shame.

I never get lucky with women. I wonder how these old men get them.

Bad time!

Sir…

-Sir? -What is it?

-Change? -How much did you pay me?

Five hundred rupees.

-What's your offense? -I didn't wear a helmet, sir.

Is that all your head is worth?

-Sir said the fine is only 100 rupees. -Yeah?

You neither wear a helmet nor carry change…

but you don't fail to torture the police!

-Get lost! Go! -Stop the vehicle.

-Where do you work? -In the media.

Okay, go.

-Hey, check her. -Sure, sir.

Kanagaraj, give me that. Blow into it.

Madam, over here!

What is your name?

-Thaiyal Nayagi. -Thaiyal Nayagi!

-What do you do? -I'm a reporter.

Reporter? Show me your ID.

"Third Eye Press Reporter Thaiyal Nayagi. "

What work does a reporter have late at night?

What work does the police have late at night?

We're patrolling the area to prevent crimes.

I, too, have been patrolling the area to see if crimes are being committed.

Be careful. I hope you don't become a victim of a crime.

-Me? -Yes.

Your appearance might instigate someone to rape you.

-I don't think anyone would do it. -I feel like doing it.

-Why? -You look vivacious and sexy.

Moreover, it's midnight. It's just a craving.

So, midnight cravings instigate a police officer to rape someone?!

You're touted as the "public's friend. "

The public is leading a happy and peaceful life under your protection.

I don't care if you're a reporter.

I'll arrest you and hold you at the station until morning! Go!

Your appearance might instigate someone to rape you.

You look vivacious and sexy.

Moreover, it's midnight. It's just a craving.

HE DEFINITELY NEEDS COUNSELING

Hey! Who is the reporter Thaiyal Nayagi?

Hey, let's see if you're truly brave like you claim to be!

Get downstairs, damn it!

Listen.

"Thaiyal" doesn't just mean stitching.

It also means women.

And "Nayagi" means leader.

That makes Thaiyal Nayagi the leader of women.

And… that's me.

I can't believe he sent five men to beat her.

A hundred people like the post.

Twenty people share it.

You work for a good-for-nothing online news portal…

but you're acting like you're a big shot!

Why are you getting so worked up if you believe

only 100 people like our channel?

You've posted the news without realizing his position in society!

You may not know about him, but I'm well-versed with his traits.

-Not only his but yours as well. -Wow!

I'm holding back only because you're a woman! Shut up, or I'll kill you!

I couldn't care less that you're a man.

I'll rip your clothes and parade you buck naked.

Hey--

You'll regret to have been born as a woman…

and you'll plead and quiver to me!

Being a man is not enough to make a woman quiver.

You'll need both brains and grains to make it happen.

Hey, what are you doing here? Go and study!

Don't move from here until we come back home.

Specifically, don't go upstairs to meet her.

Come in.

How did you know it was me?

Your mother makes stale curry with fritters.

I can smell the stench of it from afar.

That's how I know.

She's right.

How come you dared to come upstairs?

-Mom and Dad have gone out. -Sit down.

Here you go, eat.

-Your brother? -He's scared, so he refused to come.

I bribed him with chocolates and asked him not to rat me out.

Tell me.

I was saying…

that I aspire to be like you.

Like me?

As in, how?

You have a clear mind, and you're very bold.

Everyone is scared of my dad.

His friends and the people from the neighborhood.

Sometimes, even Mom.

But you're not scared of him, and you even call him out with arrogance.

Not only your dad, I even call my dad out.

-I was never scared of them. -Really?

Now, that's a little difficult for me.

Madam, he spoke out of work stress.

Please take down this video.

If he's stressed because of work, then ask him to quit the job.

At least people who have no job and are stressed can get employed.

Keep calm and read all the comments on the video.

That's the public opinion on the police and the police department.

But you're deluded and claim to be honest, truthful,

responsible, dignified, and protective.

If you keep rewarding medals to each other on Independence Day and Republic Day…

the public will never respect the police.

Hey, stop ranting nonsense to her!

Will you take down the video or not?

-I will not. -Hi!

You'll definitely get booked under a case one day.

On that day, I'll strip you naked and lock you up!

Mark my words!

Sir!

Obviously, you're good for nothing.

You will get caught, and I'm waiting for that day.

Our family is tarnished.

Please listen to me.
