Raam (ராம்)

Let us pray God for those who lost life in Tsunami

Thanks to Vivek Oberoi who rushed to Tamil Nadu...

...on humanitarian grounds

...for some time let us give them opportunity to rejoice in this world

Thereafter we would drag them forcibly towards...

...an arduous pain

Mother!

Who are you all? Where are you staying?

Do you belong to this area? Name?

Dear!

-I have never seen you -I am here for the past 3 years

-Who saw it first? -The boys from upstairs

-Where did they see? -There

-Is the teacher known to you? -Not very much, I know her

-Did you see anybody going there? -No, I don't know

Go, go that side

-Tell about it -Move aside

What are you all watching here? Go that side!

Don't crowd here, go

'Let us go that side and watch'

What are you all watching? Is it a trade fair?

'What's wrong if we watch?'

-Call for you sir -Who? -Inspector is on the line

-'You go that side -Sir, I am on the spot'

Yes sir, it is on our upstairs

No sir, I didn't know when I started for the station

Twin murder sir Mother and son

School teacher Yes

Sir, I have not yet inspected fully

Ok sir, I will call you after inspection

Take this

-Why is she here? -Ask her to go in -Yes

Come dear Come

When did she know?

I also didn't know Heard about it while returning from market

We have also come only after hearing the news

Come inside Leave me mother

Why have you come here to play?

I don't know anything He only has thrown the ball there

When did I do? You only did -No you did

No it was you I don't know, he is lying

I don't know anything What is all this? -What?

If single and twin murders happen like this...

...how can we live here? Will you catch hold of the culprit...

...or leave just like that?

-Who are you? -I am in the nearby estate

What job you do there?

If I am employed, why do I come here early morning?

Remove your head gear -Eh? Remove it

Get into the jeep

They are taking Sarasu's husband

Sir, I have searched on all sides

Have you searched all sides? -Yes sir

-All the windows seems to be closed tightly -Is it -Yes sir?

Get on top

- Sir, here is a way - Open it

It seems son and mother lying dead side by side

Wait for a while I will loosen the rope

Seems they were killed while watching TV

Lift me, lift me up Why are you shouting?

What happened? Come on, tell us

Sir the killer is inside The guy who was lying is not dead

He is alive He has a dagger too in his hand

Seems the killer is inside!

Will an unjust like this happen anywhere in this town?

Keeping the killer inside they have caught me!

Sir Malaichamy speaking What I said earlier is not correct

It is not a twin murder It is only a single murder

No sir, the son has killed his mother

Confirmed, sir

Not required sir I will handle it

What should we do now?

You go inside Go in

Come here

If given a chance, he would have killed me

He's dead-meat

Go

Clear all of them! Go, go to that corner

Teacher used to tell something untoward shouldn't happen

What she feared has happened

Did the teacher bore him for 10 months for this?

Hey!

Go without making any noise Can't you see mother sleeping?

Yes -Go

What happened? Come inside and see sir

Go, all of you go

Don't you have any sense? Won't you understand?

Go, all of you go

Go man Who has allowed them, inside?

Take this, hold it in your hanky

See there, the bloody sinner is coming out

Bloody sinner, how could you kill your mother?

Did she give birth to you and bring you up for this?

You will not have a natural death, go

After doing all that see how he is staring at us

You will not live happily You will be doomed

Take this sinner away!

Move away

Start the vehicle!

Go that side Listen to me

Come

Look, we can see her legs

Clear people outside Go

Go

Lift her

Move away

Why are you here? Take her home!

They are bringing the body Go away

Go away!

Go, go away!

Hold her that side

Go, won't you understand

Sky, earth, space, light...

Body, soul, truth, false, monarchs, egocentrics...

All act under your instruct I praise Thee

Praise Thee

Saradamma, go I will come

Don't disturb when I pray God!

I have been telling you But you don't listen to me

Will you come down or not?

I am praying only for your mother

If you don't come down now... Then I will...I am going

Wait mother, I am coming Wait, I told you I am coming

"I would sing a lullaby here"

"Mom, you may go to sleep leaning on my lap"

"I would sing a lullaby"

"Mom, you may go to sleep leaning on my lap"

"During my life time Mom's feet is my heaven"

"The four tenets said this I know that"

"The hymn 'mother' is universal"

"I would sing a lullaby here"

"Mom, you may go to sleep leaning on my lap"

"Like a rootless tree you planted me on earth"

"If the town's jinxed eyes were cast on me, you were shaken"

"You taught me all the bonds of the world"

"You guided me between birth and death"

"I should make a cradle for you and become your mother"

"I would sing a lullaby here"

"Mom, you may go to sleep leaning on my lap"

"Mother's words are the panacea for all ills"

"It is soul that has renounced land and gold"

"In the accounts of time you are a spent revenue"

"Over an orbiting earth you are a non revolving earth"

"Lord, order now to turn mother as my daughter"

"I would sing a lullaby here"

"Mom, you may go to sleep leaning on my lap"

Look Ram is teasing us Just see now

Missed him

Get up and go to class

They are fighting

Come fast and see what your son is doing -What is he doing?

Ram, leave him

All the time he does like this...

Why do you behave brutally like this?

Ask him what he said?

What did you say? -I didn't say anything madam

He is lying

He says he hasn't said anything I am telling you, ask him

Come on, tell me Yes madam, he abused him...

Will students talk like this? Go

All of you go to the classes You come

Who said you are an illegitimate child? You are God's child

What did you say? You are God's child

Don't do anything to him

I am God's child

You say your son is innocent

Had something happened to that boy...

...who would answer his parents?

But that doesn't mean all of you should blame my son alone

I have been knowing you for 20 years

I know hardships you faced ever since your husband left you

...to bring up your boy your efforts should not go in vain

Perhaps as everyone feels his mental balance...

Please you too, don't say that

I am not saying so But it should not turn out to be the fact

Ok you tell me Does he look like a student?

He looks like an haunted saint

You and the temple priest are the cause for all this

I feel for some days it would be better for...

...him to be away from you both

You all the think I am looking after him

But actually he thinks he is bringing me up

Besides I have never been away from him for even a day
