Sattamum Needhiyum (சட்டமும் நீதியும்)

This looks fine however...

I don't see a reference letter.

Sir, it's there.

Sundaramoorthy, BA BL!

Who's he?

Sir, you don't know him?

He's a veteran, an experienced lawyer.

- Oh! that notary guy!? - Yeah.

He has a desk setup next to the tea shop...

It's him, right?

Dear, he himself is sitting idle...

who will even consider his recommendation?

Sir, he may look like an average guy however when it comes legal points he's a pro!

Oh!

Since he's not interested in taking up any cases, he's casually doing-

He's spending time as a Notary, right?

Because, when asked about taking up a case, he'll fumble for words.

You just wait, once he takes up a case... you'll all be shocked by his talent.

Oh, is it?

Then you go ahead and join him.

How do you know Sundaramoorthy?

If I have any doubts in moot court sessions, I'll consult him.

- His legal expertise is brilliant. - Oh!

"Moot court" means?

Sir, they're like practical sessions in college.

We'll take a hypothetical session and argue our points.

He helped me often to come up with valid legal points.

- Oh, those sessions. - Yeah.

- I'm telling it for your betterment... - Huhn!?

If you start listening to him, your future is doomed.

He's just a fraud...

Leave it. You don't even know what a "moot court" is!

Come again...

You should've heard it clearly. just leave sir!

Sir...

Sir...

Sir...

- I just wanted to know... - Your faculty doesn't have a good opinion about you.

Sir, please sir...

You were active in lots of protests and strikes during college days.

Nobody will hire you.

- Hey, get me a tea! - Okay...

What, you want me to clean your office?

Sir, I'm a lawyer.

When I was a junior lawyer, I used to even wash toilet.

- A tea for me! - Okay mam.

- What happened? Nobody hired you? - Yeah.

I already told you, nobody will hire you if you go with my recommendation.

You just wait, quoting the land acquisation act of 1894...

the government will acquire the land for airport.

- Even I think so. - Mam...

If the government decides something, they'll make it happen.

Dear brothers, without our consent...

neither the government nor the god can make it happen.

The 1894 act you quoted, is already expired.

What's valid today is right to fair compensation and transparency...

in land acquisation, rehabilitation and resettlement act of 2013, which mentions that...

even if it is the government, who is in need of our land, has to pay and buy it.

- Is it so? - Yes.

And you're practising law, unaware of these laws!

Okay, thanks sir.

Fine then. Just add the bill to my tab.

Okay sir.

- Sir... - Yes

Please hire me as your junior lawyer.

Dear, my job is just typing work.

If you join me as an assistant, your job will be of handing me the paper.

For that, I can't pay you but can only provide food.

- Sir... - Think about it!

- Bye... - Okay sir.

Mam, shall I recommend you to a good lawyer?

Get lost.

Sorry, sit down. I went for a tea break.

If you're active advocate in the court, you'll be the number one.

Let me bring you the clients, fine?

Listen to me, you should join as an assistant to a renowner lawyer.

I'll bring you the clients, however...

you should pay me commission on regular basis, fine?

Dear, just go and try again.

What was your name?

Tamilarasan...

You don't help me in the house at all.

What's your problem now?

My problem?

Your deadline finishes in three months.

If nobody hires you as a junior lawyer by then...

you should marry Jambulingam uncle's son and get settled in life.

Why are you tormenting me?

Hey junior, nobody hired you?

I already told you in college itself that being a lawyer is not your cup of tea.

- Do you want to have an argument now? - Hey...

I'm not that college senior who used to argue with you.

I'm a junior lawyer of the great Viswanath.

People whom I should argue are only inside the court.

You just stay in this corridor, forever!

Hey, get lost.

Why are you sitting like a bankrupt businessman?

Even the tea has turned cold.

Hey, get him a hot tea.

Ok sir.

You told the same reason last week.

How can I run a business, if you don't return the money.

Durai is here, get ready to handle him.

- What? next week? - Do you want to face him?

Get ready to face the consequences.

Sir, looks like you're silently escaping to somewhere.

Nothing like that. I need to take a xerox immediately.

Even the money I lended has now multiplied like xerox papers.

It been years, when you borrowed the money for a short notice

The interest has surpassed the lended money...

Neither the lended amount nor the interest has been payed.

Do you have any plans to pay me back or...

will you always skip and run away like now?

I will pay you.

- Please don't create a scene. - What, I'm creating a scene?

I've not even started to create a scene.

It won't end up nicely for you, if I try to.

Since you're a reputed person, try to save your dignity.

I'll be back tomorrow morning, keep the interest ready.

Why is your client in such a hurry?

- Hello Sir. - Hello...

- Hello Sir. - Hi...

However your client is overly ambitious.

- It's just a month and he wants to know why it's getting delayed. - Is it?

As if we're selling verdicts here like a fast food.

It will takes its time.

Last month, a guy died after setting himself on fire in court premises.

Did anyone even bother?

However everyone has a opinion about it.

- Can't help. - Yeah.

Hello, tell me...

- Indira. - Did you properly inquire about them?

Okay fine.

If they're a reputed family, ask them to drop by this week.

We should not delay good things in life.

- Who is it? - Brother!

- Yeah, what's the job of the groom? - What are you talking about?

- Switch on the fan and go. - Please thoroughly enquire about him.

Ok Hey, Chezhiya...

- Mom, a coffee for me. - Chezhiya...

What is this?

What does this mean?

Haven't we already decided that you should study law?

Now you've applied for some other course.

You didn't even bother to tell me.

I thought of telling you after applying for the course.

Why bother, you could've completed the course and then told me.

Like your mom, who has already found a groom for your sister.

I think she'll inform me for marriage.

Why are you expressing your anger on mom to me?

You won't utter a word in court but why are you hesitating even at home?.

Mom's here, you ask her directly.

Why are you guys shouting at each other?

Who? me? I'm shouting at him?

Since childhood, he always wanted to study law...

now, he has applied for some other course.

Yeah but that was during my tenth grade.

The day I saw you sitting idle, in court premises...

I changed my mind.

You can't even take up a case and win!

This law, lawyer etc. won't suit me at all.

Hey, shut your mouth. Mind your words.

Let him pursue whatever he wants to study.

Why are you guys forcing him?

Who? me? Am I the one forcing him?

He is one who's disrespecting me.

When did I disrespect you?

When did you respected me?

Even when I'm around, as a father, you didn't even bother to ask me.

Why should I be here, if you want to do things on your own.

- This is your house, dad. - Chezhiya...

This shit hole of a place is your house.

You live your life here itself. I'll move out.

- Hey, stop it. - Don't stop me mom.

Can you atleast win a single case?

Look at his arrogance!

- Then, I can't live my life as a colossal failure like you. - Hey, mind your words.

Can you atleast take up a case and win? Then I'll change my choice in career.

You can't, right?

Move aside mom.

Hey, Chezhiya..

- Listen... - Stop.

Yes dear...

Dad...

What is it dear?

Don't be disheartened by his words.

A failure like me shouldn't have emotions like sadness, anger etc.

or even deserve to express such emotions.

Dad, please...

It's that my boy whom I raised holding close to my heart, stamped me as a failure.

Don't take his words to heart.

Not everyone is talented in everything.

So it's not necessary that one should be good in something that someone else is.

You'll be good in whatever your talent is.

Oh, so you're also convinced that your dad can't open his mouth in court.

It's not like that, dad.

Let me be alone for sometime...

- go dear... - Dad...

Please go...

I can't live my life as a colossal failure like you.
