You make fun of me that I'm a mental, look, here I am !

Hey idiot! How dare you come here to ruin my family respect!

I am not Malaikozhuntha Gounder if I don't kill you now!

Lock him up in the termite filled room of forest cottage.

Take him away!

You'll be enjoying life with that beautiful Thamarai ,

how could you be so lucky?

All because of my dad's cunning plan.

On his death bed when my rich uncle,

handed over the property and his son Nelliankodan to my father,

he took a promise to get Nelliankodan married to Thamarai,

but my father raised Nelliankodan as spastic child with a treacherous plan .

And usurped his property, and fixed my marriage with Thamarai !

Children , it's midnight!

Stop unwanted gossip Go to sleep.

Hey try to understand one's popularity depends on another downfall .

Go and sleep!

Dear!

What is this?

Where is that mad fellow Masachami?

Where is that idiot?

Where is he?

I'm here, uncle!

I'm not mad, uncle.

I'm just innocent, simple man.

I will not kill a poisonous snake instead will beg the snake to leave.

Still if if bites me, I'll bare it. Do you call this madness?

Thamarai , this is not child play.

Tomorrow morning is the marriage.

Chellatha Gounder and Manthiappan are no ordinary men.

They can't take this insult.

How can I ask Chellatha Gounder to cancel this marriage now?

Perumaayi, for the sin of marrying you ,

Thamarai , for the sin of fathering you ,

if you still want my honour go to dogs, I'm ready.

Dad , you have decided him as my husband right from my childhood days.

How can you suddenly ask me to change my feelings ?

It'll be an insult to you ,if I elope but your daughter will never do it,

okay, if you don't like if,

let my marriage go on as you had planned,

but the marriage will not be between me and Manthiappan,

it'll be between Manthiappan and my dead body.

No!

Uncle, I'll go back fo the termite cellar.

Okay, let's face whatever happens!

I'll fry to convince chellatha Gounder and Manthiappan .

After that let the fate decide.

Pardon me, due to unavoidable circumstances I had to disturb your sleep.

No problem, what’s the matter? - Please forgive me...

Why are you asking forgiveness without telling the matter?

Why should I forgive you?

Dad , let me tell .

All of a sudden Masachami has come here from nowhere.

So he wants to change the groom now.

What?

Who? Thalaiyoor Kaali !

What's this? Why you want to kill your in-law?

I told him that you are coming for the wedding on my invitation.

This made him extremely angry,

and was asking me on whoes permission I have invited you?

I said King my friend and I've every right to invite him,

for that, he wants to change the groom now.

I don't want him to live anymore That's why!

Do you believe him?

It's my habit to trust whatever chellatha Gounder says.

I know how much he respects me.

Forget it.

If he has no objection for King Kaali coming here,

is he ready for the marriage as decided tomorrow morning?

My daughter is not interested in this marriage.

So, I am not ready to take any decision.

Dad , let's go. Why unwanted talks?

God bless you .

Please bless us brother! - Get lost, you scoundrel !

What was my mistake, brother? - You haven't done anything.

We raised you in silver cradle with golden dolls to play with ,

but you're now leaving this home, that’s hurting me!

Where are you going? with a vagabond who has no place to stay.

Go! If's the heaven you wanted !

I've kept ready the gifts and presents as part of dowry,

gold plates, silver vessels, silver cradle, silk beds,

a diamond studded milk ladle for your forthcoming child too!

Go away from here with these gifts and your husband .

I'm telling on behalf of father, leave immediately.

Dad , you also feel the same?

Heard it, right?

Neither you nor your husband have any place here.

Our relationship is broken forever, you can go now!

You may throw us out now! No problem.

Keep all your gifts with you !

Because we don’t have a house anyway!

You have destroyed our relationship but you wait.

A day will come we will live in a palace like King & Queen.

And you will come and beg to get your daughter married to my son !

Better give birth to two sons!

I'll tie them at my doors like watch dogs.

You will also have two daughters and come begging for the hands of my warrior sons!

I swear this will happen !

Thamarai is going away! Please call her!

Why are you staring? don’t you recognize me?

Thought it's him because Erode is near by!

No sir, I recognized immediately after hearing your voice.

You're Sir Maayavar, right? - Yes.

Have some hot porridge!

It's been long time since I had your porridge.

Delicious

Bye. - Okay sir.

I'm on my way to Marigoundanpalayam.

Marudaiyya! what you are doing is unfair! - What is unfair Rockyannan?

The land is mine. The water in the land is also mine.

Water is public property. You cannot prevent of hers using it.

These farmers depend only on this water for their aquiculture for many generations,

Now if you hold this water, how can these farmers survive?

I'll not open the water sluice, that's final ! Do what so ever you can !

You don't understand what I'm saying, right? - No!

Call Ponnar and shankar!

Show them how water will reach our region !

Before I reach the border of our place, water must reach our region.

Marigoundanpalayam

Hello! Where can I find Rocky Annan's camp?

I want to meet him. - You want to meet our Master?

So you are his students!

No wonder- you bashed so many in minutes.

What are your names?

Come, let's meet Master.

Here comes our Master! - Welcome

What's this Rocky Anna?

Your camp is still like an army training centre!

Can I run a centre for holy sacrifice to take on the enemies?

To show our power we must run army training centers only!

You left Thalaiyoor palace 20 years ago,

I heard you came back to Thalaiyoor two years ago,

giving up this worldly life, forgetting all of us here,

wandering somewhere, later on giving up this wanderer's life too,

what brings you back to Thalaiyoor?

It's a long tale!

Thamarai Nachiyar of Maniyankuruchi married Masachami,

they were thrown out of home on the same day,

do you know what happened to them after that?

Oh ! You want to know about Nelliankodan & Thamarai?- Yes

Stop the carriage. . . stop. . .stop. . .Stop!

Thamarai ! Where are you going in this scorching sun?

What to do. We've to start our lives from the scratch

To learn life, are you going to build a school?

Give some land to build a school, we'll cultivate and earn livelihood .

No need to go to school to learn alphabets of life.

Isn't bedroom enough for it?

Am I not right, Thamarai? - What are you saying?

Is it the way to talk in the presence of your father?

My father may not like this but Thamarai would love it.

Isn't it Thamarai?

Why are you silent? Is silence your acceptance?

My silence is the symptom of your death !

Now you know what will happen when women fakes weapon in their hand .

Come on Thamarai, this is the lesson of our life.

How dare you and your mad husband fight us !

The day is not far when you and your husband would be fed to vultures and jackals.

Then you will stop acting like a holy women come let's go.

Go, you usurped the lands given to my father-in-law by chola King ,

and leaving us on street & adding fuel to the fire. Go!

They may have taken away my wealth and land ,

You are the biggest treasure given by my dad.

Who can take you away from me.

Unable to see this injustice, I spent years on pilgrimage,

what happened to Nelliankodan and Thamarai after that?

The met King chola & explained about Kolatha Gounder,

and that Nelliankodan is his son and sought his help,

King gave them and granted vast stretches of land.

Nelliankodan started cultivation,

Thamarai Nachiyar sowed saplings in fields,

they prospered in great speed

now they're living happily with the title of Kundrudaiyan .

I am so happy.
