Pamban bridge.

An ocean.

Two shores.

An incident that took place seven years ago in this bridge...

became a huge issue and as a result...

Rameswaram and Ramanathapuram, that are geographically isolated islands,

are now seperated emotionally too.

Carrying out fishing business in Rameswaram,

heading the fishermen association there and controlling that whole town is...

Samudharam's family.

40 years ago...

a not-so-rich family came down to Ramanathapuram from Tirunelveli district.

Now they own a Freshwater Prawn farm over 240 acres.

That's PRV family.

One of the biggest Prawn Processing Unit...

is PRV Sea Foods.

In this company, where over 600 employees work,

prawns are exported to many countries via Tuticorin port.

Not just that...

Bus service,

Lorry service,

Theater,

Marriage hall etc. ...

Running all these business and thus being pride of this place is...

PRV Group.

Sir, this is my brother-in-law PRV.

We heard that after a long gap you have come here, to our temple.

And so he wanted you to read the horoscopes of his sons.

How many sons do you have?

Four sons, sir.

Give me their horoscopes.

This is my eldest son's.

Ramachandran.

What the hell is this?

An anchovy, sir.

If this single fish mixes up with prawns and reaches London...

The buyer will send back the whole consignment!

Then everything turn in to dry fish.

You'll have to take those and sell it in local Gandhi market.

I'll rip you apart!

Brother...

Chinna Annachi and committee members of our association are here.

-Greetings Annachi. -Welcome.

Greetings.

Please have a seat.

Please convey the matter to him.

Dear...

our association election will be held next month.

We have decided that you must contest for the Head post.

What about Mr. Subbiah annachi?

Well, he is an option...

but a successful and reputed businessman like you...

will make our association even more stronger.

Annachi...

there are more than 650 employees working in our company.

Most of them belong to different castes.

So him becoming the head of association of a caste...

might not be good for his reputation.

Yet, since we have faith and trust in our community...

all the immediate employees below us are appointed from our caste.

Why can't you become the Head? Who's stopping you?

Myself? But then... how can I...

Look here...

we might have migrated here from Tirunelveli...

We could be the minority...

but we should flourish well.

You conduct the campaigns and wield the mic.

Place cut outs and stick bills.

I shall do the complete funding for it.

But PRV family's name...

shouldn't appear in any designation or poster.

This is my youngest son, Ravichandran's horoscope.

You tell me that he is the youngest son...

but seems to be the eldest one.

Sir, my brother-in-law's first wife passed away long back.

This is second wife's son. My elder sister's son.

"Who is the reason for our sorrow? Why are we sorrow?"

"He left the world in his prime. He left without exploring his life"

"He left his father lonely and his brother to suffer"

"Wasn't even lucky to have a family life"

So who's this Pandi?

See there. That's Samudhram and Pandi is his deceased son.

He died seven years ago.

And they celebrate his death anniversary every year.

Our district MLA, MP, villagers, relatives...

and people from all castes come to pay respect.

But none from PVR family or their caste come to pay respect.

Such is the rivalry.

Ancestral properties and business are in my name.

I feel I must divide it among my sons when I'm hale and healthy.

Please read their horoscopes and tell me if it's in their favour now.

This boy...

won't even get a handful of soil from your wealth.

But forever...

he will be your family's biggest hold.

He is like an elephant.

He will carry you all in his shoulders.

Even if the smallest of problem finds your family...

then he won't have mercy on anyone.

He'll knock them down and stomp them!

Sir, PRV Ravi is going on the Thekkuvadi route.

Why is he headed to Pandian's death anniversary location?

Sir, shall I order our men in next check post to block him.

That'd invite us only trouble.

-Use all the police 'under rest' -Okay, sir.

Guys, time to work. Get up.

No matter how big the problem is...

he'll face it single handedly!

How come the dead person is alive?

That's the elder brother of the deceased.

They are twins.

He's out on a four day parole from the prison.

Pandi is not dead.

He is still alive in my form.

I'll be out of prison soon.

All of you be prepared to die.

You left this place with your twin but look; only you have returned.

How could you let your brother die, dear hubby?

Lingam...

you both are the apple of my eyes and they poked out one of you!

Get down!

Push! Push!

Push! Come on!

Get the weapon!

Maari push!

Now what's happening? Can't see him inside.

-Muthualagu! -Boss?

Go and check.

Listen Anbu...

PRV family and Samudhram family are having a rivalry...

but why are you intruding in between?

Move the boat, you!

Instead of pouncing into the road with boats...

if you had taken it to Kavara island,

you could've got more fishes and earned extra.

At least your wife would've been happy.

Stop showing off! I can see you are scared to death.

Scared are the ones who are holding weapons.

Why would the one holding the cigarette, be scared?

I'll show you what fear looks like!

Come on, do it! Do it!

Now shall I show you what fear looks like?

Now that's pure fear that you see!

Listen!

Shall we stop here?

If you want, I shall accept defeat.

Go and inform.

I accept defeat. I accept defeat. I accept defeat!

Rascals!

Make way and you'll still brush us.

Be humble and you'll still pounce on us.

We hoist the peace flag and you'll still undo it and hoist it in a weapon!

Listen...

fix this tyre in the bus to Trichy.

Then send the bus to bus stand.

Aren't you done cleaning the bus?

Angry passenger will throw stones! Go!

Take the bus and go!

Play Ilayaraja songs in the bus as you go.

You!

Spray the water on the bus.

No on that guy's a...

-Rascal. -Okay, boss.

Focus on your job!

Boss...

who are they?

He dragging in a whole gang.

Excuse me Mr. Baldie! Stop!

I said, stop!

Who are you? Why are you all here?

To catch the bus to Madurai.

So? Go to the bus stand!

There are so many buses here. Isn't this a bus stand?

This is bus depot, where buses are serviced and sent to bus stand.

Catch the bus to Madurai from there.

Eventually this goes to bus stand, right?

We'll get in here and let the bus go to bus stand and to Madurai from there.

Baldie! Get out!

No way! Get in the bus everybody! Get in!

Catch him!

Kiddo, this bus has only two tyres. It's yet to be fixed.

Just leave me.

Damn, they are hitting! Catch hold of them!

Catch hold of them!

Stop pushing me!

Mr. Palmhead! You better get down!

No way! Get lost!

He's so adamant that he's fighting for seats in an empty bus.

He won't get down so easily.

Bring out that gun!

Do you think the cops will be quiet if you shoot me?

Why are you dragging cops into this?

Watch how I wash your pan like head!

You said it was gun but this is a pipe!

He's praying water on us! Run!

I won't let you escape! Come out!

Come out! I said, come out!

Mr. Baldie, out!

-Quick, get down. -All of you get down!

We are about to run out of water.
