Sura (சுறா)

India wins in the One Day international against South Africa in Mumbai.

Heavy rains lash entire Tamil Nadu.

Cyclone has affected normal life in many parts.

60 fisherman from Yaazhnagar a fishing hamlet near Chennai

who went to sea fishing are missing.

Since they haven't yet returned and there's no information about them.

Fishermen in Yaazhnagar are in fear and agitated.

Sir!

What happened?

Finished searching north side, search operation is going in south side.

It's a week since they have ventured into sea,

they should've been here day before yesterday itself.

But not of them has returned, sir.

- You must find them. - Please be patient.

Naval boats and helicopters are searching for them.

Let's expect good news.

Okay, thank you.

Sir, all the boats have docked in an island,

we've news that all the fishermen are safe, sir.

PuLi ~ DDR

What's the matter?

- All have returned except one. - One? Who is it?

- Our Sura! - Sura? What happened to him?

We got caught in high sea cyclone,

we lost the direction and were getting drifted,

but Sura swam to find a safe island and took all of us there.

When Coast Guards came to rescue us, a boat capsized on the way back.

Coast guard saved us all.

But don't know what had happened to Sura.

Why did you leave him behind?

Sir, we've rescued all the missing fishermen.

Don't know what happened to him?

Sir, they need... Okay sir. I'll definitely do it sir.

Come, let's inform Collector.

Are you all happy?

- No, sir. - Why?

One man is still missing, sir.

- What are you saying? - Yes.

Just one man? Don't make it a big issue.

I've reported to CM about rescuing all the missing fishermen.

I've given information on TV also. Hush it up.

Sir, without him we are nothing.

We want him, order your men to search for him.

You want them to enter sea again instead of being happy for rescuing others.

Take it as this issue closed and go back to your hamlet.

No sir, he's no angel to have come from heaven,

he's also an ordinary man like us,

but he's equal to many mothers in showering affection,

he's equal to hundred elephants in strength,

he's equal to thousand lions in bravery,

he's equal to hundred thousand Machiavelli in intelligence.

We need him, sir.

- We want Sura! - Wait, be patient.

Nobody knows here whether he's alive or not.

But it's not food or medicine that keeps a man alive,

it's well wishes of good people like you,

that can keep a man happy and alive.

A man who rules over so many hearts,

death will not dare take him away from you.

I'm sure he'll come back alive.

He's our boy, who swims against the tide to win...

He's a winner always...

His heart is cool snow mountain and deadly volcano...

He's the dawn in we poor people's lives...

PuLi ~ DDR

Hoist the flag of victory... It's our sweep...

Future is all ours...

Lets'stay together like catamarans... Nobody can win against us...

Let's stand together like siblings of one mother...

Must become role models to the future world...

The world which thinks we are just match sticks...

Show them by friction what you are...

PuLi ~ DDR

Even crows have nests... but poor don't have a hut too...

If you ask won't the wind tell the tale of our every day struggle...

Even hamlets will have happy times... if we hard working hands stay together...

Heart that lives for others randomly thinks of self...

God has given me such a heart...

I'll seed myself in you...

I'll grow you in my heart... I'm one of you only...

I'm giving myself to you, take me...

Hoist the flag of victory... It's our sweep...

Future is all ours...

Let's stay together like catamarans... Nobody can win against us...

PuLi ~ DDR

If you and me prosper, our nation will be clean...

Who else is there other than me to bell the cat?

If brave and courageous follow me...

Let's pave a new path and stamp out hypocrisy...

Let's question everything...

When cool, I'm gentle breeze... When angry, I'm a storm...

I'm born lucky... It's victory all my way...

Hoist the flag of victory... It's our sweep...

Future is all ours...

Let's stay together like catamarans... Nobody can win against us...

Yaazhnagar

Why are you cleaning fish, Sura?

My mother is not feeling well.

May I help you? I'm free.

Free?

Can't you go silently?

- Sura, you come inside, son. - Coming mother.

You're looking after him like a mother rearing her chicks,

watch out, I'll take him away from you.

Can I get you some chilly powder?

That's waste, sister, grinding will add taste.

Grinding chutney or flour, washing clothes is exercise.

It'll keep your body slim like a movie star.

You use all ready made things and watch TV soaps.

If there's not current you light a candle to watch blank screen.

Your body will be like this only. Like a flyover pillar.

Leave it sister.

Then my brothers-in-law and uncles come to fight about your fat bodies.

Don't laugh, think over it.

Okay, I'll go.

Where's the match box? Mother!

What?

What's this son?

Don't fast when you're ill, eat only the you'll get energy.

Enough, son.

- Eat mother. - Serve yourself, son.

I will, you eat first.

- Brother! - What?

My husband hasn't gone for over a month to sea.

I heard he wasn't feeling well.

He's lying, he's getting drunk every day.

He's pawning things from home to the usury money lender.

I'm doing odd jobs to earn and buy rice from ration shop to feed my children.

He has pawned the ration card too.

Can't buy rice in ration shop without the card.

I and my children haven't eaten for two days.

Where is your husband?

He's in usury money lender's home.

- You have food here. - No need, brother.

No problem, have food.

Come, join me.

- Don't you know to repay? - Please don't beat me.

- When will you repay? - I'll repay.

Brother... brother... storm is coming...

- What are you saying? - Tsunami is coming!

- What are you blabbering? - Both are coming together.

Sura, they are beating me, please save me.

You must save...

Have you pawned ration card too along with vessels?

Are you human?

Is itjust a card to buy rice at subsidized rates?

It's an ID card that you're a citizen of this country.

For how much he has pawned ration card?

Rs.500. It's now Rs.1000 with 10 days interest.

What? Rs.500 interest for 10 days for Rs.500.

You're unjustly too good.

Why are you keeping so many photos of Gods?

Is it also pawned with you?

No, I'm very God fearing man.

To be in God's vision, I've placed all around me.

You must see God always... but what he says...

Tell me, brother.

Not me, you silly boy. Great Annadurai!

He said see God in poor man's smile.

You needn't see God in poor man's smile,

don't see God of death in their tears.

Parents sins must be borne by their children.

Don't put the burden on your children.

Who said this, brother?

- This idea is mine! - Okay brother.

Am I going to their home to lend money with high interest?

They come seeking and I'm lending.

Lending money is a profession but don't charge unjustly high interest.

To warm up our home don't burn other's house.

- How many cards are pawned? - About 40 or 50.

You know its against law, don't you?

I know it's a crime and I know how to handle it as well.

Inspector Dass!

- Sister! Filed the FIR? - It's done.

Outside money lender, inside a pimp. Good show!

Now I know how you're managing law.

Please take bath and go to the station, if not you may be reported as missing.

Teasing me? Don't forget you're talking to a police man.

Aren't you ashamed to say that in such a cheap place?

Stop it!

Why are you getting angry?

Instead of arresting a usury, you're enjoying women in his bedroom.

Why should you get angry, tell me?

You'll work fearing higher officials,

you'll work fearing politicians,

you'll work fearing the goons, mafia, murderers,

have you every worked for any poor man like him?

Getting angry?

You needn't serve people, just work for your salary.

How dare you taunt me!

Think as many times as possible before you dare touch me.

Once you touch me, then you'll not have time to think.

If you've courage, dare touch me.

If I do...

You'll get a jolt!

No... please leave him, Sura.

I'll return all the ration cards pawned with me.

Leave him.
