Andha Oru Nimidam (அந்த ஒரு நிமிடம்)

Everything will turn out well.

So be it.

Venu, how's your job...

as a policeman in Bangalore?

Bangalore City shivers on hearing the name of...

Assistant Commissioner Venu.

Uncle, so the people in Bangalore don't shiver due to winter...

- but due to you. - Come on.

Venu, my eldest son has become a police inspector.

My third son...

is useless.

I made my son, Kumar, to study law...

so that he follows my footsteps.

But he's going around...

doing social activity.

I wonder what's wrong with him.

Brother, no matter what he says.

One must be lucky to...

have a son like Kumar.

It's his birthday today.

Despite knowing that you will be returning today...

he hasn't come home yet.

Dad, hasn't Kumar come yet?

Raju, he left in the morning but hasn't returned.

Is everyone here?

Let's begin the class.

Why are you all staring at the sweets and snacks?

Today is my birthday.

So, once I finish the lesson...

I will distribute the sweets.

- Teacher! - Long live!

- Teacher Kumar! - Long live!

Thank you very much!

Thank you. Sit down.

Now, we will study about the man who won freedom for our country.

Does anyone know who he is?

Sir.

- Very good! - One must take initiatives. Go ahead.

It's not that, sir.

Shall I chase the fly away that is sitting on the sweet?

Let that be.

First you sit down, else I will chase you away.

Mahatma Gandhi was born in...

In Tirunelveli sweet shop, right, sir?

- What! - You bought those from the Tirunelveli shop, right sir?

No. I bought it from a non-veg hotel

Really, sir? Are they selling sweets in a non-veg hotel?

Just sit down.

Look, I can't bear this.

All of you focus your mind...

on what's important.

All of you...

Kumar.

- I hope you won't mind me saying this? - No, go ahead.

You have no brains at all.

Not in front of the students.

They know it already.

They must be starving since long.

How can they focus with the sweets in front of them?

- Even I'm tempted by it. Can I have some? - Hey!

Behave yourself in front of the children.

- Today's my birthday. I'm trying to teach them something good.

I'm very excited.

Alright. You tell me.

Who got freedom for our country?

- Go ahead? - Who got freedom for our country?

I said what you asked me to.

Don't embarrass me.

Who got freedom for our country? Tell me.

I don't know.

- Answer me! - It's not me!

- Hey! What is it? - Sir.

- Come on, sir. - He said no. Just let him go.

Go, distribute the sweets.

- Come on, everyone! - Go ahead.

Children, come on!

Hey! Don't fight!

Let go of me!

Who are you?

Can't you see? I'm a girl.

I can see that with my eyes closed.

Hey! What are you up to?

How dare you flirt with her while I distribute sweets!

She caught a fish so I caught her.

- I let it go. - Look.

I could have hugged and inquired her too.

Hugged?

Of course, go ahead.

Go ahead, but without touching her.

Hey girl, are you new to this place?

Sir, let me tell you.

It's been only a week since Vasanti...

and her grandfather came to this area.

It's only been a week?

You are so close already. Come here.

You don't know who got freedom for our country.

But you know about the girl.

You are the future generation. God save us!

You have spent a lot.

That's alright. We want to help the poor. Bye.

Hey! Get up!

Driver!

He's a poor boy.

It seems he hasn't slept since long. Don't wake him.

Let him sleep.

When he wakes up...

drop him...

where he wants to...

and come home. I will take a cab.

Please come in my car.

The poor boy!

Rajashekhar is generous to give the car to the poor boy.

This world is a happy place only because of...

generous men like Rajashekhar.

That poor boy isn't even worthy of touching my car.

How dare you let him sleep inside!

I didn't notice, boss.

I will wash the car thoroughly with soap, boss.

The poor boy's stain can't be washed off.

First...

sell the car off and get rid of it.

I asked the boss for some money for your wedding.

I will go get it, Vasanti.

Grandpa, I didn't ask you to get me married.

You don't need to.

I have become old.

I must get you married before I die.

See you.

Come here. Where's everyone? Nobody's in the class.

Sir, we are drowned in grief but you are worried about the class.

Who's drowned in sorrow?

Our whole locality.

- What's the matter? - Let me explain, you follow me.

Vasanti.

Subramani told me everything.

How was your grandfather falsely accused?

My grandpa worked for Rajashekhar, a rich man.

Rascal!

He falsely accused my grandpa...

and turned him behind bars.

Rich men are scoundrels!

Vasanti.

Not all rich people are bad.

I don't care.

But my grandpa is a good man.

He couldn't have committed this murder.

Okay.

If you don't mind...

I will arrange for a lawyer...

to fight the case for your grandpa.

Sir.

What is it?

She is Vasanti.

She lives in the nearby slum.

She's very poor.

Her grandpa has been falsely accused of...

a murder and put in prison.

I want you to defend him...

in this case.

You came to the wrong place.

I don't take cases of the poor who can't afford the fees.

Do you know the price of this watch?

Never mind that. Just tell me your price?

You can't afford my fees.

Try some other lawyer.

Will you take this case or not?

- I won't. - Dad!

Don't you shout!

He's your father?

This greedy and heartless lawyer...

is my dad.

Nonsense! Get out!

With pleasure.

I will do it myself.

You promised not to practice law.

I did.

But law must help poor like her who are rejected by you.

So, I will fight this case myself. Vasanti, let's go.

Bye, mom.

Listen, you are impossible!

Your son brought you a case.

You fought with him rather than taking it up.

He promised...

not to take up law until now.

But I made him do it now.

It will be helpful if you tell me what happened.

I asked my boss for some money for her wedding.

He asked me to come to his bungalow at 8 p.m.

I happened to be late.

When I reached...

- Mani! - No matter what you say...

I don't wish to be your business partner anymore.

You give me my share.

Stop joking with me.

I'm not joking. I'm serious.

What if I don't?

If you don't...

I will inform our business to the police...

and get you exposed. I have no choice.

What's your decision?
