"The Tsunami colony in Chennai's Ennore

"...last night, by an asteroid."

"At least fourteen people were killed..."

"...and more than 35 people admitted to the hospital with serious injuries."

"A team of meteorologists surveyed the impact zone..."

"...and have sent samples of the asteroid to the research center."

"Only after thorough analysis, can more be known about this asteroid."

Munnar, Kerala.

The information which I'm about to share does not leave this room.

You are all aware of the asteroid which struck Chennai two days ago.

As per our calculations...

...we will be struck by another asteroid in seven days.

It will slam into the Bay of Bengal, 50 kilometers away from Chennai.

The asteroid which struck two days ago, measures eight square feet.

This one, measures 60 square kilometers.

Larger than the city of Chennai.

If it strikes the Bay of Bengal...

...Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Sri Lanka would witness a devastating tsunami.

The resulting tremors would bring down many buildings.

It will change India's very topography.

I suggest we evacuate everyone and move them to a neighboring state.

Moving a population of 80 million would take a month...

...even if we deploy our rail, road or air services.

It would take a week to source the fuel for this mission.

Not only that. If this news reaches the public...

...imagine the problems that would stem from mass panic.

How many lives would be lost?

It would be devastating.

Forty million people will lose their lives.

Do you want us to be mute spectators while people die?

We're not here to sit and watch.

We will not tolerate any attack on India.

Here is the surface map of the asteroid.

The rear of the asteroid has a crater.

It seems like a well and runs deep into the center of the asteroid.

This is its weakest point.

A nuclear blast in the crater...

...would blow it in two and deflect it away from Earth.

This is the safety line.

We need to blast the asteroid before it crosses the safety line...

...to deflect it away from earth.

There is no use blasting the asteroid once it crosses the safety line.

We have six days before it crosses the safety line.

Is it possible for us to launch a rocket, within six days, without raising suspicion?

Possible, Chief!

We can announce it to the public as a satellite maintenance program.

News about rocket launches is pretty common these days.

The blast calculations are precise.

But there is one problem!

We don't have such a powerful missile.

Nor does any country.

All the countries signed a peace treaty last year at the United Nations.

Per the treaty, production of nukes more than 20 kilotons is prohibited.

We will need a 200 kiloton nuke to blast this asteroid.

I need permission to speak off the record, sir .

A few countries have sourced nukes from black markets owing to war.

Given our situation, can we consider that alternative?

Do we need to source it from the black markets? Like terrorists?

I need some time to think about this.

Istanbul, Turkey.

Please trace this identification number.

If you have really placed this call through this ID...

...I will have to close my business and go under the radar.

We called to talk business.

Give me the list.

Just one item.

200 kiloton nuclear missile.

Do you know what you are asking for?

Do you know who you are speaking to?

With a 200 kiloton nuke, we can wipe out an entire country.

No black market will have it.

Then we don't need you at all.

Cut the call, shut down your network and pack up.

There is one place where you can source it from.

This country has kept a 200 kiloton missile under wraps.

How do we verify if the information is true?

I will send you all the details.

You will know once you see it.

Can we seek help from them through the Indian embassy?

No.

That would go against the treaty. They won't go on record and admit it.

Other countries will impose sanctions on them if the truth comes out.

If we can't speak to them, what are our alternatives, Chief?

There is only one way.

Now, allow me to speak off the record.

This is a secret mission.

The report will be sent only to the Home, Defence Depts. and the Prime Minister.

We need to steal the missile.

Stealing the weapons of another country, could lead to war.

No.

Their possession of the weapon is illegal.

They won’t be even able to report it missing.

Stealing the missile is no easy task.

Because the missile isn't in their country.

It's been strategically placed to attack any corner of the world.

In space!

It is under the guise of a research centre.

But it is a military base.

Knowing that wars of the future are to be waged in space...

...they have taken this drastic step.

The missile is housed in a secured vault.

It is impossible to breach the alarm system and gain entry.

Even if one does gain entry, an army of soldiers will block the exit.

Our team isn't equipped to crack such vaults and gain entry.

We can't rely on our team alone to gain entry into the vault.

We need an expert.

To help us break the vault...

...we are going to employ a thief.

How can we trust an outsider while handling such a sensitive issue?

A thief, no less!

Let me ask you a question.

To save 40 million lives, I'm passing an order, to steal the missile.

Does anybody have any objection?

We will execute your order without any questions.

Get me the most talented thief out there!

"Tik. Tik. Tik."

Chennai, Tamil Nadu.

Oblivious to what's happening up there, they are fighting over frivolous issues.

Based on the five cases we saw...

...I am sure they will be reduced to ashes in a week.

There's no thief on Earth, that matches our Chief's expectations.

His name is Vasu. A very dangerous man.

That is why we have jailed him in isolation.

Great!

Is he that dangerous? -He is an expert magician!

Once he managed to get out of the cell!

The doors were locked. Bars weren't bent. But he was outside the cell.

Why do you all want to meet Vasu?

To save the country!

He has the nerves to insult the Chief!

It's a one side mirror. He can't see us.

Vasudevan.

You need to be careful while dealing with Vasu.

He can practically break in to any place.

He can escape from any situation.

Initially, he used his skills to help a few and perform some magic shows.

Later, he started targeting people who had amassed wealth illegally.

We are all aware of the recent twin murder involving a minister's son.

But they tried to frame the son of this old man who works at their house.

The weapon used was hidden away in the police evidence room.

Six months ago.

It conked out this morning!

They stopped producing these, even before I was born!

Do you still use these things?

Get it replaced!

Poker!

Dude, we are in!

She was the one who beat me up, sir!

Which station? -Ayanavaram!

Please sign here.

You may go!

Why did you allow a cop from another station inside?

Sir, the thing is...

Did you verify in the system? -Yes, sir!

No one must exit the station! -Yes, sir!

Close the gates! Don't let anyone out!

We shouldn't let him escape.

Search him!

Check his pockets.

Search him thoroughly!

All done, sir. He doesn't have a gun. -What? Where is it then?

Here, sir!

I searched him thoroughly. -Keep him here until we find the gun.

The gun has been produced in court, sir!

You shouldn't have played with police.

The evidence in this box is against a gang, that deal with illegal explosives.

For coming in and burning them...

...you can be jailed without trial under the Prevention of Terrorism Act.

For how many years? -At least five.

You went to save my son...

...but now, you're separated from yours!

Compared to doing nothing while being aware of your bad situation...

...this isn't that big a sentence.

Dad...

His only weakness...

...is his son, Ravi.

You can control him only by exploiting this.

'O scamp!'

'My dear scamp!'

'O scamp!'

'My dear scamp!'

'I grew shorter, because of you. I drew in the sand, because of you.'

'I melted in the sea, because of you!'

'I spread as wings, because of you. I flew on ground, because of you.'

'My life filled with hue, because of you!'

'A crayon broken into two for me and you.'

'A packet of chips, together we tore and chomped away.'

'Chomped away to oblivion!'

'O scamp!'

'You are my whole world!'

'My dear scamp!'

'You are my life!'

'O scamp!'

'You are my whole world!'

'My dear scamp!'

'You are my life!'

'Across the stars in the skies, all I see are your eyes.'

'I will bring the moon to your feet!'

'Should a thousand victories come by, I shall accept with a smile.'

'Only to you, will I ever lose!'
