Maaveeran Kittu (மாவீரன் கிட்டு)

A path

We often think it's the passage to commute

But here..

behind every path there is a history

That history tells us about the caste and the inequalities

Sometime back streets were named as big street, small street and crossroads

Later slowly they started incorporating caste names in it.

When they separated paths based on caste

It's when violence and hatred started brewing

One such village is this Pudhur village

Opposing this bias is this senior Kalimuthu

He has staged several protests

and written many book regarding this

If people from Kalimuthu's caste die

They have to take them through this path to the crematorium

If the rain fills the well

then they have to walk around the village for 6 miles

If they take this path, it's much shorter

But the village head does not permit it.

This man Kalimuthu who protested against this

Died 3 days back

His comrade Chinnarasu wanted him to be carried on this path

For which he filed a case in the Court of Madurai

Grandma have some tea

How long will you keep him like this?

Shouldn't you be cremating him soon?

We will do it soon, have your tea.

What time is the verdict?

It's around 10 am.

If it's in our favor

We can cremate him by noon.

This Court orders that the mortal remains of Kalimuthu of Madurai district, Pudhur village

Shall be taken through the common pathway and the police should provide due protection.

Just because the Court orders, can they use this path?

All along they have only used the other way

Why suddenly they want this path?

Just because the rain water has filled the wells, can they enter the village?

Inferior people.

Now they want to go with the corpus

Then they will want to come and seek an alliance with our girls

Can we spare them like this?

Kananavelu, since you refused they sought the help of the Court

Now how can you retract?

The village is for everyone not just you.

Even the cattle go through that path.

Why can't they go?

Why should it be reserved for you?

When we are born are we differentiated on caste and creed?

After death it's all just mortal remains.

So you want us to be like you, without any norms?

You want me to eat the food here and clean the hands there?

I follow everything.

I am like this

Your slipper is meant for the feet.

You can't take pity and carry it on your head

You will become the laughing stock then.

Those who can't get a square meal are talking about socialism.

Subramaniam, you are born in our caste right?

Lawyer, won't your creed criticize you?

We came here, because you called us

I don't think this will come to a conclusion.

You continue talking, we will leave.

See the Court has only directed that the corpus can go through the common path

It's not said that they should carry it.

Selvaraj, talk like a policeman!

Then what's the difference between both of you?

No Sir, this is solution to solve it without any problem

Sir!

To take that one man, they might have to let go of 10 other lives

Tell that man, Chinnarasu.

What? We should hand him over to you?

Is he some orphan?

He was one amongst us and gave his life for our well being.

We will perform his rites and will not give him to you.

Chinnarasu don't create problems, you should let go.

We are letting it go

we don't know when they will give.

You are not cooperating.

we have a verdict in our favor.

The Court has only directed that the corpse can go on the common path,

It does not say you can take it.

Can you see how they are interpreting the order! - Yes.

Chinnarasu, if you take him, they are threatening that they will engage in violence

Cut us!

Will our weapons be still till they slit us?

Muthu!

If you want go back to the Court and get a revised order,

then we will cooperate.

Fine Sir.

Do it as you say!

Thanks, Chinnarasu.

Even if we didn't carry,

our leader's body came through their path.

There will be a day

when we can carry it ourselves through their path.

Don't go near the cow

Look at Kittu!

It's such a big moment and look at him.

Come here!

Kittu! Kittu come.

Why is everyone here? - I don't know.

What is it? - Come here

What is it?

Come here.

What is it?

You have scored the first mark in Tamil Nadu

You photograph is on the newspaper.

Hey. This is great! Congratulations.

We are very happy.

We only read news that someone was killed or burnt alive from this region.

To see a news like this

It feels like we have conquered the world.

Don't let go.

You should aim higher.

You should gather a huge following that will come with you.

Academics is knowledge.

It's external.

There is something more important.

Love and selflessness. Living for others.

Don't forget that.

I won't forget anything that you have taught.

Alright what are you going to do after this?

Chinnarasu, what are you asking?

You are behind the education of both of them.

You tell him please.

Yes, brother.

What mother says is true.

You tell me what I should do further.

Why are you asking me?

Well. You should become a Collector.

As you are in college, prepare for your IAS.

Also tomorrow we have planned a felicitation for you in our school.

The District Collector is coming down to felicitate you.

We request the esteemed chief guest- the District Collector

To say a few words.

My greeting to all.

My hearty congratulations to Krishnakumar for securing the highest scores in the State

Thank you, Sir. - Welcome.

It's no easy task to secure the State first,

hailing from a small village like Pudhur

That too from a Government school.

More than the wealth one has earned

One should show how much knowledge they have gained

I heard that Chinnarasu

was instrumental in his education.

I am delighted.

My congratulations to you as well.

Thank you.

After 2 Years

Aunty can I spin it!

Sir, we had asked for 10 women for transplanting paddy

Sir today, it's totally 8 women working.

Mariamma has fallen sick.

So...

Father! I will leave now.

Be careful.

I will manage with this work force.

If you can be liberal about the money...

To review the water scarcity in Chennai

the Chief minister of Tamil Nadu M G R will hold talks with

The chief minister of Andhra Pradesh MR. N T Rama Rao

They will hold joint discussions - That's good.

The bus is here - Why are you late?

My mother delayed packing my lunch.

Make it fast.

How are you? - Fine!

Let's leave.

Hey! The bus is not here yet! - Can we go by cycle?

Are you so studious? - He's looking for something

Don't trouble him. - It's the only option we have.

The bus has arrived.

He's looking at you.

Rani! Wait for a minute.

For what?

What's this?

Take this Rani.

You know we are from different segments.

You know what will happen if my father knows!

What! Your problem is that I am not from your caste?

Yes.

Look Rani.

If you say you don't like me I will go away.

Till death I will love you

You will be my wife.

I can't handle him.

I am wondering if I should complain to my father about him.

What! Rani enrolled in your college

What are you saying? - Yes.

Fate.

Then Subash will start again.

He already has.

Surprising! You both are going out!

Yes after 3 years he's taking me for a movie!

That's the fate of people's man.

Have some tea.

Ask for two!

Two..

He's some silly guy offering you tea,

you should politely refuse!

I feel like.. Always erring.
