Sivappu Malli

Ladies and Gentlemen

And dear friends

Today is our 'Independence day'

We got freedom at midnight

It has not yet seen the light!

To bring it to light many people toil hard!

We have amidst us a trio doing it

They are philanthropists and Gods for us

They work hard to preserve our hard-fought freedom

Let this tribe flourish!

On behalf of the people I garland them!

Thanks...thanks

What about me!

Don't be frivolous

Sathynathan sir would speak now!

Ladies and gentlemen I am not used to public speaking

Today is our Independence day

But I am not in agreement with it!

The day when all of you have a square meal...

...is the real independence day!

Until then I would toil

I would toil for all of you!

Truth will truimph one day!

Bye!

Punyakodi sir would deliver his speech!

Have you guys got any sense?

Why do you garland us! Why do you applaud!

Dais,flamboyant lights and mike

Why do you waste money!

If you had given this money to a poor person...

...that would have helped him!

Look guys, printing our photos in posters...

...or distributing toffees to kids or pinning national flag on shirts...

...would not bring independence to our nation!

I would like to tell you one thing

He would continue

I would

I know people are anxious to hear me!

Hello, mike testing

Ladies and gentlemen

We did not get freedom so easily

We toiled hard and then...

We toiled hard to get freedom!

Fighting against the Britishers...

...shipping company was launched by Tuticorin Maposi

It is not Maposi he is VOC

Some guy Did he not do it

Then leave it!

So if I am to add

'If a single person is denied food I would destroy this universe'

Said Pathiriyar

It is Bharathiyar

These guys have identical names and confuse me!

Yes, Bharathiyar!

He was a great poet!

'Ennadi Rakkamma Pallaakku nelippu' (Tamil)

- He penned this - He did not

Is it such an idealistic song Is it not his creation!

No

Why did he not write it?

- I will check with him - Ok

I am always at your service!

If I need a house I would not get donations from you!

From exchequer I would do a public cause...

...and later build a house for me!

I understand why you applaud me!

- Did you not understand! - An important matter

Whisper to me

Kuppusamy is on his way to kill all three of you!

Escape from this place quickly Hurry up!

So friends less talk and more work is our motto!

Right now we are leaving for doing a wonderful service!

Come on

Hey, I would not spare you fellows!

After depriving poor people like us...

...are you guys celebrating independence day!

If we eradict you we'll get true independence

He is talking too much about freedom

Then we should shoot him!

Leave him...leave him!

Don't kill him

Please leave him!

Don't kill him

Please leave him!

Today is a public holiday throughout the nation!

The paper says this also

So all of you shouldn't work today!

Early morning you have come here with the newspaper!

Sniffing the newspaper my donkeys have followed you!

So I had to also follow them!

You are a peculiar guy!

Vellai, stop it

People of this village doesn't even have the intelligence of these donkeys

These donkeys are intelligent

Seems you would start a school for donkeys!

Today they must have a holiday!

If I don't agree to it?

We would stage a protest

Protest for what! What is special about today!

Today is independence day

All cattle ,donkeys and you must also have a holiday today!

The paper says so in bold letters!

Is today Independence day!

Herd them carefully

They don't want anyone in this village to become intelligent!

No one should question them!

This is their wish!

Government is influenced by them!

I think a grazing field is ready for you too!

Better to learn herding!

My God! Someone is trapped! He will get burn marks!

We are not bothered about monsoon failure!

As per the leasehold give us paddy share due for us!

If we show mercy to this fellow all of them would deceive us!

He must be punished!

How can we punish him?

We will give him burn marks!

That would be the appropriate punishment!

Inflict burn marks on him!
