'Apple of my eye; my dearest'

Why is uncle going overboard with his sacred antics?

I don't know who he'll target this year to tarnish their life

Why is your house locked?

What are you doing here?

Where is your interest due?

- I'll pay you soon, sir - What's with you?

What is this disguise?

Lord Karna, sir

You are unable to pay the interest for your loan

And you'll dress up as the generous king Karna, huh?

"In the paddy fields lush and green Indian beech trees with flowers seen"

"In the highways bustling with activity tamarind trees blossom in plenty"

"In directions 8, everywhere our neem trees rustle with fanfare"

"Knowing you'll be coming, at that moment the flowers open their eyes in excitement"

"One who graced Vaigai river as our savior Our Chozhavandhan Mariamma we favor"

"Shall I receive You with love?"

"Our Goddess who came from above"

"Shall I welcome You with happiness One who wears a garland of durva grass?"

"Shall I invite You with gratitude forever One who cures chicken pox in the summer?"

"Come, o' Goddess of rain"

"The leafy canopied ghaf tree was cut down with utmost sanctity"

"To carry my favorite deity carved as a casket sturdy"

"Inside that wooden casket my kohl lined deity basked"

"Epitome of fury Avatar of Kali"

Do you know how our Mariamma was enclosed in that casket?

"One with turmeric paste applied With dhavanam's perfume alongside"

"Shall I call my deity to bless us The copper statue so wondrous?"

"Come, Goddess Shakthi"

At a time when there was no famine when pangs of hunger attacked us

When all these people assembled and wondered what to do

Lord Krsna commanded Varuna the God of rain and said

Shower rain in abundance

Heavy rains lashed flooding the land it seems

The casket with our Goddess carried by the ripples of the Palar river

In the waters sweet as honey floats the casket of our Mariamma

Your casket slides to the banks green with the waters gently lapping in between

When everyone wondered what this casket contained

Our deity Mariamma dear to bring us prosperity here

"Goddess in a casket, shall I welcome You? The renowned one, who comes to our rescue"

"Shall I welcome You, avatar of Shakti? One with name and fame in totality"

"Goddess Cholavandhan Mariamma"

"Our Chozhavandhan Mariamma, our savior Our Goddess whom we fear and favor"

"Shall I welcome our Sornamuthu Mariamma?"

Tell now

Announce your presence

Within a year in your family

...you'll face a problem with either a lady or land

Wake up!

Good morning, madam

Welcome

- Greetings, madam - Good day

Welcome, madam

Hello

Thank you

Come this way

Please take your seat All the best

Namaste, madam

Best wishes, madam

Good wishes

Good morning, madam

Good morning, madam

You should be in that seat But you have seated her

Attend to your work

Lot of loans are pending

Many have not repaid

Loans approved on document basis have also been forged

Who approved this?

Why haven't so many farmers paid back their loans?

Who will take up the responsibility of this loss?

Madam, the problem here is-

Villagers are not soft like the city bred

They may be a bit violent

I am mentioning this because many of our officers had bad experiences

Where there is honesty both anger and violence co exist

It's alright

We'll face that too

So bring all the pending files to my notice

- Okay - Okay, madam

Thank you!

It's rare nowadays for girls to work in villages

Why are you scaring them?

Will they dole out loans with open arms in your city?

Don't be unrealistic

Appa, look who is here

You are dead meat today He'll close your chapter

Uncle, stop it

Stop it, all of you

How can you do such injustice?

What did I do?

How often should I repeat it?

Even Americans use a neem stick as tooth brush

The world is going green

If I say all this do I look like a fool to you, huh?

You are a genius But leave us alone

Natural fertiliser won't be conducive to this soil

This land has got used to this manure

I can't repay my loan if I don't harvest 3-4 times a year

Change your habit

Yov! This is our Mother earth

Even if you stamp, doesn't she support you and me?

For that at least shouldn't we protect her?

All our documents are collaterals in a pawnshop!

Wonder who jinxed me this morning

Why are you bugging me while I am working?

Couldn't you find anyone else today?

Why are you perturbed?

I'll gladly give you earthworm fertilizer for free

Just say yes, I'll bring it from my house and pile it here

Please don't use those chemicals

Don't betray the soil that trusts you

You don't understand my plight

I've bought all this fertiliser on loan

Aiyo!

Uncle, I don't intend leaving till you change your mind

Kanna, what are you doing here?

We've been looking for you all over

Look at what uncle is doing

Didn't he promise to use only organic manure that day?

Look what he is up to now

Sir, I didn't think when I promised that day

Please forgive me

Uncle, we can't keep forgiving you

For the next harvest change to natural fertiliser

- Say 'yes' - I swear I'll change

I'll buy organic manure from you

Leave me alone now, sir

You heard him Let's go, Kanna

Let's attend to our work

Muthu, how are you?

Hey Kanna Nowhere to be seen

I saw you in the temple that day You left before I could talk to you

That's a big story

By the way where is your husband?

- Where will he go? - Come, Kanna

- Would you like some tea? - I just drank, Chandra

- Buttermilk - No, it's alright

Hey Kanna, you are a smart young boy

Why are you still roaming around single?

Karuppu, you tag along always

Can't you find a girl for him?

You expect them to?

If they are with me, even a girl who flips for me will flee

- Hey Chandra - What, Kanna?

Count the coconuts and unload them

I'll buy whatever price you quote

When have I bargained with you?

Whatever Muthu says is fine with me

If the buyer fixes the price their sales is really one of a kind!

He is my childhood friend

Now you know what trust means?

Kanna, let me look for a bride

Don't worry if I don't find one

I'll divorce my husband and gladly marry you

Kindly do me this favor Take her with you

If you succeed I'm freed of a life sentence

Don't think you can escape from me, dear

That will never happen

Am I the pawn in your game?

Hey Karuppu, are they serious or is it their weird sense of humor?

They were classmates Don't be suspicious

Okay, let's go Muthu, see you

- Send me the money - Prompt as usual

Muthaiyah has taken 8 loans

He has repaid 4

Kazhuvaayi has taken 5 loans

And repaid 2

Kamala Kannan has taken 9 loans for his cattle

Not repaid even 1

There isn't even a gap of 2 months between each loan

Who approved his loans?

There are many adjustments in this locality

If you delve too deep into it

...VAO, collector, tahsildar the whole system will oppose us

Forget how it was given and focus on retrieving the money

Sir, we can't use local thugs like private banks do

Madam, most of them who availed loans here are proper thugs

Let it be

I won't step back from taking the required legal action

I need to meet each and every one of them

- And we will start with Kamala Kannan - Okay, madam

Did you drive the tractor or roll it in mud?

Full of muck and mire

Who listens to you here?

Our vehicle is their training tool!

Kamala Kannan sir, I'm Vetri Kumaran

- From Madurai Grama Bank - I know you

We would like to discuss about your cattle loans

We are paying the dues

Even sir knows it

Who paid?

Records don't show a single payment

She is our new manager

Her name is Bharathi

Good afternoon, madam

Namaste, Mr Kamala Kannan

You look educated

But why are you doing this?

You own a lot of property

Should you avail Govt loans and cheat them?
