Seemaraja (சீமராஜா)

'Trespassers will be prosecuted. Ordered by the Court.'

- We should somehow win this match. - Hey! Wait.

Don't trespass into that litigated property.

If Puliyampatti villagers catch you, that's it.

Get lost, kiddo!

You'll learn only when you fall down!

What a huge lock?

You are new to this place.

- Fix the stump. - Hey! Stand there.

- Run...run. - Throw the ball, quick.

'Pick the ball and throw fast.'

Suresh, Ramesh, Sankar, Pandi, Karuppu!

'Singampatti boys have trespassed into our Puliyampatti market ground.'

Speed up.

- Who are they? - Why are they chasing?

Why are you running?

'Run fast. Don't get caught.'

Let go of me, bro.

I won't come again. Let go of me please.

Please let me go.

Is there no on to ask for justice?

This is why I warned you. Did you pay heed to my words?

Go to our palace and report.

Who are you? Whom do you want to see?

- We want to see the king. - He has gone for his morning walk.

- Go and see the queen instead. - Okay, sir.

- Such a huge palace in your village? - Don't gape with your mouth open.

Who are you? What do you want?

We want to meet the queen.

Tell me, I am the queen.

We have to meet the king regarding the market.

Pandiya, give them buttermilk.

The king will be back soon.

- Go inside. - Thank you.

Come in.

Don't be alarmed. He is the elder king's uncle.

His hobby is to break pots when angry.

So he's called 'Flowerpot grandpa.'

Come inside.

'Singampatti kingdom is very important among the princely states in Tamil Nadu.'

'Under this princely state formed nearly 800 years ago.'

'...125 villages with 1000s of acres of land, temple, pond, flourished well.'

'After the abolition of the zamindari system in 1952.'

'...only this palace and some acres of land remained.'

'This story is about the ancient princely state.'

'Even though times may change.'

'...the habit of referring to the 'palace'..'

'...king as 'Raja', 'queen' hasn't changed at all.'

Look, the king has come.

Greetings, Raja.

He's the king, huh?

A king riding an old Suzuki bike?!

- Welcome. - Greetings, Raja.

My sugar level shot up. So I don't miss my morning walk.

How much ever I walk my 200 sugar level stays the same!

Very true.

What can I do for you?

We were playing cricket in our market ground.

The villagers of Puliyampatti hit Ashok and Kumar and took them away.

If you've decided to fight with Puliyampatti villagers.

...beat them or get beaten. Why drag me into it?

- Will you step into our property? - No...no.

Didn't you read the court orders?

'Trespassers will be prosecuted.'

Why the hell did you go in?

Tell me, will you step inside again?

Let me ask you this.

Last year you asked a girl in school for her phone number and got caught.

Did you come to me for help? You went to him, right?

Did you call me as chief guest for the annual cricket competition?

You called him. Then why come to me now?

Go to him.

Do you know why we smear salt on goat's skin?

Don't know, bro.

If we smear salt on goat's skin and glue it to your back.

...and make you stand for 24 hours in the sun.

If we peel it off your back your skin will peel along with it.

You will bleed to death.

Who is the 3rd person he kept referring to?

That 'him' is his son, my dear boy.

He's the future king.

Seemaraja.

You must be joking, bro. This king rides a rusty old Suzuki bike.

The queen is busy sweeping.

Does your Seemaraja ride a cycle?

You're such a duffer-dumbass!

He is the real king.

'He comes in a chariot harnessed with 2 horses.'

'One horse is Alex. The other is Telex.'

'On top of it, he is accompanied by his scent hound Tiger.'

I won't trespass ever again.

Why are you laughing?

If you consider yourself a man, stick it.

Our 'Raja' has come to our rescue.

Which Raja?

Bharatiraja or Ilaiyaraja?

Seemaraja of Singampatti.

Will you peel their skin?

It was in our palace this punishment was invented.

We've given it up as barbaric.

Are you trying to enforce it?

I'll skin you alive, mind it.

Hey! Get into my carriage.

Tiger!

Hey! Do you know who I am?

You can be whoever for all I care.

But be prim and proper with me!

- This 'beedi' is the cause for the fire. - I swear I don't know, sir.

I had gone to fetch water in Doraikannu's grove.

It caught fire in that short span.

- You know or you don't? - No, sir.

I don't know anything, sir.

Shall I file a First Information Report?

No need.

File it as technical fault.

Okay, sir. Start the car.

- Did you check the CCTV footage? - Hard disk is corrupt, sir.

- Can recover it only in Chennai. - Do that right now.

Okay, sir.

Where did you disappear?

Your shirt is bloodstained.

Fell down from the bike?

No, uncle, I was-.

- What? - Nothing serious, bro.

Boys from Singampatti entered our market.

We grabbed them to hit them in our palm grove.

Suddenly Raja came and rescued them.

Who is 'Raja'? Whom do you call as king?

My word is gospel here.

If he owns a dilapidated palace and a creaky carriage.

...swaggers around is he a king?

I am the king here. What I say goes.

I own 450 windmills.

I have politicians and Govt officers eating out of my hand with my money power.

Who am I? What's my influence?

I am the king here.

Bro, I don't mind if you hit me once more.

You can be a millionaire in your own right.

And a mighty army in your pocket.

You can even own a swanky car.

But you can't usurp that title of 'Raja' from him.

Goodness!

You'll beg from us here.

And praise him sky high there, huh?

Hypocrite hobo!

'She is Kaleeswari.'

'True to her name, like Goddess Kali she is ferocious.'

'The reason behind the rift of Puliyampatti and Singampatti.'

'...a woman's tears.'

'And another woman's cunning nature.'

What is it, butcher Kanna?

You want to divorce your wife after giving her a child?

'What is the reason for rejecting her?'

Her character is questionable.

It is your character that needs to be questioned!

It is that tribal woman's craftiness.

How dare you call me a tribal woman!

'Don't let your tongue run.'

What gall to hit her! I won't spare you.

Butcher Kanna.

Your wife fell into the well and committed suicide.

'The very next day after his wife died.'

'...they got married and entered the market place.'

This market is our ancestral property.

You cannot occupy this place, leave.

- Clear out. - Get lost!

'Like the proverbial dog in the manger.'

'Kaleeswari instigated the villagers.'

Come on.

Change the board, quick.

'The board issue blew out of proportion.'

'The police intervened Confiscated both the boards.'

'And the market was sealed.'

How do we go to Paechi Amman temple?

Turn north and then head east.

Be good if you can come with us.

'He got in to show the way to them for erecting windmills.'

'He never alighted till this day.'

'He used brute force to grab land from those who refused.'

'Heartlessly he killed those who created a problem.'

'Butcher Kanna became Windmill Kanna with Kaleeswari as his lucky mascot.'

'He assumed he was the lord of all he surveyed.'

'But our Seemaraja was footloose and fancy-free.'

Hi...stop it...stop it.

- Hey! Ramaiyah. - What can I do for you?

Where is my cashier?

He must be in his zenana by now.

In his bed chamber?

Even I don't have a harem My cashier has, huh?

'Kanakku!'

Oh no! The king is here.

Cashier...?

Hey! Andisamy!

Where did he disappear?

Kanakku.

- Where's my cashier? - He is missing, Raja.

Kanakku sir, if you don't pop out now you'll really vanish into thin air, sir.'

Has he gone?

Stealing a cauldron from the palace you're frolicking like a kid.

Not 'like' a child, Raja.
