Raayan (ராயன்)

Just a little longer.

Don't be afraid.

Go out and play, boys. - Let's go.

Just a little longer.

Brother, will Amma be alright?

She was alright after giving birth to me, you, and then him.

Don't worry.

Okay, brother.

Do you want a baby brother or a baby sister?

Baby brother.

What about you?

I want a brother, too.

What about you?

I want a baby sister.

Why do you want a baby brother?

So there's enough of us to play cricket.

Why do you want a sister?

I've got you two for brothers. So I want a baby sister.

Raayan, Muthuvel... come here, boys.

Come, let's go.

Is it a brother or a sister?

Raayan, it's a baby sister.

Priest, bless the baby and give her a name.

I want to name my sister.

Shut up, boy. The priest shall pick the name.

No, let him name his sister.

What shall we name her?

You tell us.

The boy knows nothing.

He is just a child.

Who? Raayan?

He is smart.

Bind his limbs and throw him into a well, and he'll still survive.

Raayan, what should we name her?

Name her after a goddess.

Durga?

Wow!

Whisper it into her ears.

Alright? - Alright.

Durga.

Durga.

Durga.

Durga, they wanted to name the three boys after our ancestors...

and named us Kaathavaraayan, Muthuvelraayan, and Manickaraayan.

I didn't want you to suffer the same fate, so I picked the name Durga for you.

I hope you are okay with that. Do you like it?

Raayan, your mother and I are going to town. We will be back by evening.

Take care of your brothers and the baby.

There is milk in the container. Feed the baby if she cries.

I'll be back by 5pm. - Okay, Ma.

Hurry up, we are late.

Caught you!

Wait up.

Brother... - Yes?

Why aren't mother and father back yet?

They will be home soon. Have you memorised your lessons?

Yes.

Eat up and go to bed. - Okay, brother.

Wait!

Brother, where are we going?

To the priest's house.

Where are mother and father?

Watch your feet.

It's been two days since they left?

It will be fine. Don't be afraid.

I'll send someone to town tomorrow morning to check, okay?

Try to get some sleep.

What are you saying?

15 grand for the girl?

Yes.

There are three boys in the house.

Take one of them too.

No, they only want girls.

What will they do?

That's none of your business.

I'll be back in an hour.

Have the girl ready.

Okay. Return with the money.

Wake up, we must get out of here.

Carry your brother.

But I can't.

Just do it!

We need to get out of here.

Give me the baby.

Don't do this, priest.

Let us go. We will leave this place.

Give it!

Give me the baby.

Don't do this, priest.

Let go of her, priest.

Give me the baby. - Please don't....

Priest... - Go away.

Priest, give my sister back.

Drop the sword.

Drop the damn sword!

Let go of the baby!

Let go!

We must fear nothing from now.

Nothing at all.

Wait here.

The bus only arrives at 9pm.

Why did we leave the priest's house?

The priest has gone to God.

It's easier for the priest to go to God, right?

Come on, guys.

Where are we going?

Just come.

Hurry up.

Who'd leave thorns lying on the road?

Toss it aside. - Okay.

'CHENNAI'

Horry up. - Okay, brother.

I want to drink and sleep.

Hey!

Who are you? How did you get in?

Put that down, kid.

Let us go.

Come any closer, and one of you will lose your heads for sure.

Do you have any family here?

Should I put you on a bus back home?

What are you going to do now?

You've got a newborn baby too.

Give me a job here.

Fine.

Even if I did get you a job...

what about food and shelter?

I saw these two dogs here this morning.

They eat and sleep here.

When a senseless animal can survive around here, why can't I?

Your wages for the month.

Put your cigarette away. Not around of the baby.

This is all I need.

Find me a house with the remaining wages.

My siblings shouldn't sleep on the streets.

Sleep in the truck for a few days.

I'll find you a place.

Never occurred to me.

Go now.

Brother, he is no ordinary kid.

When he grows up, he is going to be a real menace.

Better become his friend by then. - Okay!

What do you want?

My name is Raayan.

Can you give me leftover food?

Have you got money?

One idli costs 25 paise.

You'd be throwing away leftover idlis, right?

I've got two younger brothers and a baby sister.

Give me an idli for 10 paise.

I'll pay you every month.

Come here, kid.

Can I have some milk?

The milk is for your sister?

Yes.

Sekar, your boys?

Mind your business.

Sekar, what did the lady say?

That she is a bit cheeky. Let's go.

What? Is it too small?

No, this is fine.

Just "fine"?

Hello, Sekar. Just got here?

Yes.

Speak to him and seal the deal for us.

What do you want me to say?

You don't even need to speak for us...

just point us to the guy so we can close the deal.

You don't get it.

If I were to speak about this...

we'd all be in trouble.

Just drop it.

Don't say that.

All the surrounding shops belong to us.

Except for that one shop.

It's doing good business.

I get that.

Or you wouldn't have come asking for it.

Brother, we will take care of you.

Just tell us whom to talk to.

Whom to talk to? - Yes.

If you are a bit low on luck, the youngest one, Manickavelraayan.

If you are extremely low on luck...

then, the middle brother, Muthuvelraayan.

If you were born unlucky...

go talk to the eldest, Kaathavaraayan.

Come on.

We were hoping for your help but you are trying to scare us.

We'll sort this out with Durai.

Why bring Durai into this?

Listen to me.

Muthuvel will be here any minute.

He is a bit weird. Consider yourself warned!

It's hard to predict his mood.

No, we shall wait and-- - Just leave.

Can't you see me?

Out of my way.

Get me a drink?

Two seconds, Muthu. I'll get it.

Brother Sekar...
