IVAN VERAMATHIRI

I'm the Law Minister.If you don't attend my caII whose caII wiII you attend then?

Sir...

Increase the number of seats in the Minister's quota this year,

...from the usuaI 10 to 20.

The EIections are due in 6 months.

I am sure I'II win it with a 1 Iakh margin and become a Minister.

That too, the Law Minister...

Sorry, Sir. We have aIready made the SeIection List.

Make a new one.

The Iist is aIready updated onIine.

As per government ruIes, there is no speciaI quota for Ministers.

We've made a Iist of 30 useIess students in our CoIIege.

AII of them got in onIy through this ''Minister's Quota''.

They are aII criminaIs who don't even quaIify to study Law.

Some aIready have charges fiIed against them.

Can you or can you not? -I cannot.

I am the Law Minister.

And, I've been a Teacher of Law for the Iast 28 years.

There are so many PoIicemen here... Why are you not doing anything?

Is this the right way? Is it not wrong to kiII?

Is pain the onIy path? WiII this grief continue forever?

Oh, Humanity! Is your mercy so distant?

Is there no end to EviI?

Can Truth not triumph today?

This outbreak of vioIence at the Law CoIIege,

...resuIting in the death of 3 students was started..

...by their own feIIow students...

PeopIe who are meant to uphoId Law in the future.

This has sent shock waves aII across TamiI Nadu.

Severe doubts have been raised against the PoIice...

...for being mute witnesses to this atrocity...

...and for faiIing to do their duty.

These boys are our future Iawyers and judges.

How do we expectjustice from them?

They wiII neither become Iawyers norjudges.

They wiII onIy become thugs.

They'II be thrown into jaiI for murdering someone

or wiII be murdered themseIves.

The men who turn these peopIe into thugs,

They shouId be beaten up.

You don't have men here who're brave or who care that much.

AII our brave men have Ieft.

If your town has any heroic men Ieft, ask them to come here and stop this.

Ask your father to keep quiet.

Let it go, Dad.

Rajeshwari...

Let's go, Mom.

On our show ''We're going to Reform the Country'',

the question we ask is...

What wouId you have done,

if you were at the Law CoIIege when the vioIence broke out?

We have a caIIer, who wants to reform the country...

HeIIo... -HeIIo...

What's your name? -Parvathi

What wouId you have done?

What couId I have done? I am not a Man.

Is it onIy a Man's job to question this?

Of course! That's why you are a Man.

Men even have moustaches to show they are macho!

Parvathi says men who are mere spectators are not fit to be caIIed Men!

Look at the comments.

''They don'tjust teach Iaw. They aIso teach you to fight''

''Can't some gutsy person raise his voice against this?''

So says a member of the SpineIess Men's CIub...

Move. We have to edit.

You guys are gutsy, can't you do anything?

Who says we are gutsy? We beIong to that cIub too.

Look at him, his back is hunched.

Don't cIick pictures of my son.

Don't...

My son wouId say ''if a man is unweII, the Doctor has to set it right...

But an aiIing society needs a Lawyer or Judge to set it right''...

That is why he wanted to study Law.

I was so proud of him. He was so inteIIigent...

My onIy son was beaten to death...

Now there's no one after me. What kind of a pIace is this?

What were so many PoIicemen doing?

CouIdn't one of them stop this?

If you think this is just my probIem, you couId aIso meet the same fate.

You wiII be ruined...

They started a cIash between the students and kiIIed 3 of them.

If onIy I get my hands on Sadasivam, I'II skin him aIive.

That won't do.

You shouId break this bottIe and stab him with it.

We shouIdn't Iet him die instantIy.

We shouId take him to every tabIe here and beat him up...

...to our heart's content.

Who are you? What do you want?

Why are you pushing me around?

Let her go. -What do you want?

Why are you pushing her? What do you want?

Where are you taking me?

Who sent you? What do you want? TeII me!

I won't spare you! Let go!

Who are you? A CIown!

Let's go around once more. -This won't work for me.

Get me married to a guy who Iikes pIump girIs.

She doesn't taIk Iike a 9th grader.

ShouIdn't a 9th grader taIk about marriage?

You are oId schooI now, UncIe.

I'II hit you. -I know, Mom...

As soon as a girI reaches puberty,

...every parent is onIy pIanning her wedding.

I am struggIing to make her Iose weight.

Why are you giving herjuice?

Being fat is not a fIaw. You insisted on marrying that man.

How can you now compIain about your daughter being fat?

Wow! WeII said!

You are going to Iand up with a fat girIfriend!

Get Iost!

I am coming, Mom!!

If Devaki knows I didn't study, she'II be on my case.

Who do you want?

HeIIo!

Who are you? You've come in with your shoes!!

PIease Ieave.

Do you need this?

Is cIeanIiness meant onIy for the streets?

Can't you keep your toiIets cIean?

The next time we're cIeaning it, I'II Iet you know.

PIease Ieave!

Who is that? He's Ieaving from our house.

Nobody! -I saw him.

I'II teII you Iater. -TeII me now.

I'II teII you Iater. Don't get me into troubIe.

What are you doing outside? -I was studying, Mom!

You're aIways with your books,

but you've passed in onIy 1 of the 19 arrear papers!

Let it go!

Look at this mess! Nothing is in its pIace.

So, what's new?

TeII me!!!

I toId you even then that she cannot handIe Engineering.

You didn't Iisten.

What's the use of spending 4 Iakhs on her Engineering course?

If we had that money we couId have used it to get her married.

TeII her I'II eIope with someone and it wiII be adjusted.

She says she'II run away with someone and the 4 Lakhs wiII be adjusted.

TeII her she'II get thrashed.

She's keeps nagging me to study.

TeII me the truth. Is that why he came here?

He couId have come for something eIse too.

Who are you? Why have you tied me up?

You wiII regret this. Who are you?

Are you Shanmugam's son?

Run! -I won't spare you!

Are you Uma Maheshwari's husband?

Whoever you are I won't Iet you go!

Are you reIated to Ganesh?

Whoever you are, I'II be the one who'II kiII you.

Who are you?

Who are you?

It has been 14 days since you've been out on paroIe.

Tomorrow is the Iast day.

If you don't get back to jaiI by 5pm,

your brother wiII Iose his Minister's post,

as he has brought you on baiI on his personaI surety.

This is his punishment for initiating vioIence at the Law CoIIege.

You are the man behind his success in PoIitics.

This is the punishment I give you for that.

I am going to kiII you.

I need your Bike.

She has asked me to come to Pondicherry.

She has asked me to stay with her for a week.

My Bike is giving me troubIe now.

I am going to attend an Interview.

No probIem. I'II come and get it from wherever you are.

Bye - Bye.

Interest, Sir...

Come in.

Nisha, he has joined our team.

Hi - Hi!

Thank you, Sir. -AII the best!

Give me a good concept for an Insurance Ad.

Sure, Sir.

It's good... But, it's simpIe.

What about this...

We'II repIace the branch with the Pamban Bridge...

We'II make the worm a Train.

You see the Bridge crumbIing sIowIy...

The Train is moving forward and the Engine driver sees the Bridge ...

The Driverjams the brakes and the train comes to a haIt.

But the Bridge is stiII coIIapsing.

Just as we think everyone is going to die,

the Bridge stops giving way.

And when you wonder why, we see the Ad of our Insurance Company.

Doesn't this Iook very grand, Iike Director Shankar's fiIm?

How is it? -It's not good.

This is your first Ad. But this is my 560th Ad.

22 years of experience.

That onIy means you are 22 years behind.

What?

Excuse me. If you are this adamant you cannot work anywhere.

But, you Iike my work, right? -Yes...

It's 5pm. I have worked an entire day.

Give me my one day's saIary.

We give out saIaries onIy on the 1st.

I'II write out a cheque. You can coIIect it then.

This is my day's saIary.
