"Even the most toxic plants require the purest water to thrive."

From the depths of time to the farthest stars,

God alone dictates destiny.

By His side, the messengers remain,

bound to His will.

Among them,

Lucifer Morningstar, stood closest to God.

From the stars to the smallest creatures, God forged life,

and at last, He created man.

As God admired the masterpiece of life,

Lucifer dared to ask a question.

"Why, O Creator, did You shape man in Your own divine image?"

"Why does Your mercy flow so freely upon man?"

"Man's spirit is restless, his thoughts fleeting, his heart never still."

"Time shapes them, circumstances mould them, nothing remains unchanged."

In defiance, he proclaims, humanity is God's greatest mistake.

At Lucifer's words, the heavens trembled.

With fury beyond measure, God cast him into the abyss.

A fallen Lucifer looked at God and said...

"You will see the truth, God."

"I will prove my words, through the very man You called Your masterpiece."

Once the brightest, now the fallen, Lucifer turned into Satan.

If he mirrors God's gifts, man will stray, drawn into the depths of forbidden power.

If his plan succeeds, evil will rise, eclipsing the light of goodness.

Bearing the infamous mark '666',

Lucifer's son arrived on Earth, cloaked in deception.

Satan entered Earth, cloaked in the guise of man.

Jenma Natchathiram -

Ajay had scheduled a meeting with a film producer

to pitch a story.

As usual,

it ended up as another addition to his long string of failed pitches.

He keeps telling me one thing.

Just as you chose me,

a good story has its own destiny,

and it will inevitably find its ideal producer and actors, on its own....

His story...

Hey, Ajay!

A... Ajay...

Ajay!

Ajay!

Ajay... Ah!

Hey!

- Good morning. - Pestering me in the morning!

- Pestering? - Hmm.

Ask the women cooking in kitchens all around the world.

They long to be tenderly embraced and kissed by their husbands.

And you...

Saw how you suddenly pulled away?

We're all eagerly waiting to escape the kitchen.

You've asked for it, here it comes!

- Waiting, hmm? - Huh!

- Good morning, dude! - Good morning.

Slept well?

Are you kidding me? We need to stop this milkman first.

The milk delivery has become a daily nuisance,

with him ringing the bell repeatedly, like a loud alarm.

- You think he only disrupts our sleep? - Hey!

Get lost.

What's going on in your room? I heard noises all night.

Still having fun?

She's been struggling to get a good night's sleep since becoming pregnant.

I have no idea what to do next.

I've told you this multiple times.

She needs professional help from a good psychiatrist.

You never listen.

I'm hesitant to take her to a psychiatrist because I don't want to upset her.

What's that, dude?

I don't know.

What's that?

Check out how our locals are using the newspapers.

Your symbol, Olivilakku.

We don't need to buy votes for our Olivilakku symbol to burn bright.

There are some who are distributing money in envelopes with our symbol.

To stall our victory when we're on the cusp of winning.

And to discredit our party's reputation.

The opposition parties that don't even deserve a single vote,

sorry I meant, opponent parties,

are resorting to this shameful act.

But, I'm sure the people are aware of the reality.

The election results will indeed be a testament

to our party's strength and popularity among the people.

Our Olivilakku symbol will suffer a landslide defeat

in the upcoming elections, and nothing can change that.

Sir, that's our symbol.

Hey! Hey! I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Our Olivilakku symbol will win big in the upcoming elections,

and nothing can change that.

"Wait, I misspoke.

Don't write anything bad. Be careful what you write.

Our Olivilakku symbol will suffer a landslide defeat

in the upcoming elections, and nothing can change that."

They're blowing one slip-up by our Leader out of proportion.

- Hey! Are you done yet? - Done, brother. Just another 40 lakhs.

Make it fast! The city constituency is waiting. Give it to Kumar, once done.

- Rajesh, brother! - Yes, Sundaram.

- Greetings, brother. - Greetings.

You don't seem to even think about our Mylapore constituency.

Please tell about us to our Leader and help us out.

We'll be happy to return the favour and support you in any way we can.

I receive my salary promptly.

I'm self-sufficient and don't require your support.

- You can leave. - What happened, brother?

Being a politician, how can you talk about duty, dignity and control?

You seem to underestimate the value of money.

You will realize it someday, brother.

I'll realize when the time comes.

The funds will be disbursed according to the designated list.

You can go now.

"Our Olivilakku symbol will suffer a landslide defeat

in the upcoming elections, and nothing can change that."

We have enough of half-size portraits,

can we get some full-size portraits?

Oh is it?

Bring it.

We don't even have time to tie a dhoti.

By the time we get votes from these people,

- it's just too much work. - It's time for the meeting, sir.

It's time?

Oh yes indeed.

Match the full-size portraits from the previous election

with the half-size ones taken now, on your computer.

Okay, sir.

Hey, come with me.

Has the money reached its designated destinations?

All done, sir.

Only the city constituency was pending,

that will also go in another ten minutes.

Tomorrow it will reach T. Nagar, then Mylapore.

If twenty goes there,

we will be left with a balance of 61 crore rupees in hand.

I need everything completed by the end of this week.

- We don't have much time. - Okay, sir.

- Hi! Hi! - Hello!

- Hi. He's finally here.

Come, dude.

- Hi, dude! - Come dude.

- Hi, dude. - Hi.

Have you managed to find a producer yet?

Is it a rule to have a producer on board before meeting at a coffee shop?

No, I didn't mean it like that.

I thought I'd ask since you're always keeping tabs on your expenses.

Being frugal is an important virtue in life.

Otherwise, we'll end up as drivers like you.

Hey! Keep quiet.

- Hello, greetings sir. - Greetings.

I've convinced the producer from Coimbatore.

Super sir!

He has given us an appointment the day after tomorrow.

Ask your friend to meet with the producer

and persuade him to green-light the story?

Make sure he doesn't mess this up like always.

Don't worry at all, sir.

We start tomorrow night,

pitch the story,

get the advance in hand,

and we'll do our best.

I've been hearing this for the past five years.

Call me once you get the advance in hand.

- Now hang up. - Okay, okay sir.

Dude, guess who was on the phone? Manager Siva!

I figured it had to be him,

considering how enthusiastically you were nodding during the call.

What did he say?

The producer from Coimbatore has agreed to listen to our pitch.

- We've got an appointment. - Hey that's great news!

Stop jumping to conclusions.

That manager always sends us on trips to far-flung locations like Cochin, Hyderabad.

And there they talk to us like we're at a vegetable market.

If we had only saved the money we spent on travelling to those meetings,

we'd have had enough capital to establish our own production company by now.

It's pointless to believe him.

It's a big deal that someone is willing to support us.

Are you really willing to let this opportunity slip away?

- Hey listen to me... - Ajay!

This opportunity that we're on the verge of letting slip away

could be the luck that could change everything.

How can you say no? Go for it and give it your best shot.

Riya is right.

Attend the meeting first,

then decide whether this opportunity is right for you.

Take my car and start early tomorrow.

You've seen it?

Don't keep checking as if you're going to pay.

Hey!

- Hey, Jana? - Jana!

- It's okay. - Hey, Jana!

Didn't I tell you to keep quiet?

I've kept your shoes in this bag.

Don't forget your inner wears.

Remember what happened last time when you forgot?

Hey, what's wrong? Why do you look upset?

I can't bear looking at you like this.

That's how I look, take it or leave it.

- What did you say? - It hurts!

- What did you just say? - It hurts!

- Dare say that again? - Please let go!

It hurts so much!

Won't it hurt like that for me too?

You just said, take it or leave it?
