- Hi Cheenu - Hey

New friend?

Indeed. Imported dog. Quite costly

Hot headed guy. Won't even let a fly inside the home

That's a smooth way of saying not to visit your home

Come on. All I meant was this dog saves us from unwanted dogs paying us a visit

We have many local breeds too

This is very hygienic too

Doesn't sniff around crappy places like street dogs

Stop!

It must cost you a whopper to take care of it

Do not bring it to such places

If the street dog bites it, infections might spread

Can't keep it at home all the time. I must take it out once in a while

Hey! No! Stop!

The headlines

At the banks of the lake at Nanganallur, Chennai...

The corpse of a girl, Samyukta, a 15 year old school student...

was found brutally murdered and wrapped in a Polythene bag

The root cause of the murder is yet to be found

Further, the police department has been ordered to investigate into this

This has send shivers down the spine of the people

...in that area, according to our reporters at the spot

'Demon'

Cut it!

Lights on!

Play me the shot on the monitor please

Playing sir

We need a close up shot of the knife with blood on it. Don't forget

We won't get U certificate if blood is shown. Hence the producer is refusing it

Why is the alarm ringing here? Turn it off!

I am unable to turn it off

'15 year old school student, Samyukta murdered brutally'

This room is filled with...

100s of psychopath photos and newspaper cutting related to them

It's all for making a movie

'A Film by Arun Kumar' - a 12 years old dream

These are all the home work and detailed study I did for my first movie's script

Arun...

we must be at the office before the Rahukaalam (bad time)

It's the producer's order

'Vishnu Vishal'

Make it fast. It's getting late

'Amala Paul'

Arun, so what's the producer count now?

That's countless.

All the best

First, opening shot; we open from the top angle

A girl crosses the road in a hurry...

Your story is indeed quite a thriller

It's too dark from the beginning

Family audience won't turn up for such a movie

Do one thing. Re-write the climax with a good chase and a mega stunt sequence

Make it a commercial package and get it

You have been toiling really hard to make a movie

But looks like all these will go in vain in the name of current trend

It won't go in vain for sure

The trend will change

Story is good. Have you made any short films?

How will I make a short film when I can't meet my expenses

Is this how movies were made in the past 75 years?

It's been a year and half since your dad passed away

He didn't leave behind any wealth for us

All he earned was a good reputation

Which is why you are eligible for his Sub Inspector post

Put a word to your brother-in-law and he'll arrange it for you

Arun, just attend the SI exam and I'll take care of the rest

Got it?

Arun, what about this month's rent?

Don't you want to play that corpse character?

- All the best - Thanks

I loved the story

What happened?

Come tomorrow and collect the advance

The producer gave his nod!

Super! Awesome!

Roll camera!

Action!

I checked your horoscope yesterday

Looks like it won't suit mine and so...

it shouldn't affect the result of the movie

Don't you worry dear brother. I shall get a job and go to work

You keep trying

Mom!

You are 26 years old. Already, I'm unable to answer the people around

I'm pleading you for the last time...

if we must live a peaceful life, then you must get into a job!

Sir, we show the corpse from different angles

An opening shot from the top angle, on to a black car below

Producer sir had asked me to come

He has gone to Mumbai for a business meet

He asked you to contact him six months later

Hello

Mom, I'll got meet brother-in-law

Your father's reputation will ensure you this job

You have no idea about the competition and politics going on for this SI post

I hope I can trust you and apply for it

Did you quit Direction and start an acting career?

It's indeed acting

What about that corpse character?

I'll arrange for it

When?

Very soon

Guess, I'll become a corpse by then

Arun, forget cinema

You are a new police trainee

Just obey whatever your higher officials order you to do

That's what everyone does here

Get down

I have got a work outside

Once I'm back, I'll teach you...

Have a seat

Sit

Come to the court

Answer me!

Please no! It's hurting! No!

Aiyo! Please! No!

- Please, don't beat me - Then answer me!

Aiyo! It hurts! Please sir! Don't beat me!

Hello!

Come here

Are you the new SI?

Yes sir

Fine

Thrash him so hard that he must reveal the truth

Sir, I just joined today

So?

Planning to have a sin-free first day?

Listen, make use of him and train yourself

Don't you come out until he speaks the truth. Here

Didn't you want to play a cop? Then why can't you thrash like one?

Hold this

- Give that to me. Come here - Sir?

Watch me

Aiyo! Sir, it hurts! Aiyo!

That's how you do it. Here, hold it

Don't you have even a bit of sense?

I called you to the court and you are narrating

your scrip to a criminal, that too in uniform

What if he had escaped?

I wouldn't have escaped. His story was that good

So, you narrated the full script to him too?

If you set out anywhere to narrate your story...mind it!

Okay sir

Theane, come here. Come to me

How many times have I warned you not to come out without me?

Won't you obey me?

Look, your face is covered in dust

Idiot, she never learns!

I have to work in fear until she arrives home in the evening

I'll tell her dad and put an end to her late arrivals

Amudha!

How many times do I tell you?

I want you to come home sharp at 4:30 from tomorrow onwards

Amudha!

Tell me

Any neighbors?

Any relatives?

- Pasupathi - Sir!

What happened?

Murder case, sir

What happened?

My daughter was studying for her exams

That's when he got drunk and approached my daughter

He tried to molest her

I tried my best to stop him

Just because I had to save my daughter...

I slit him down with a machete

What does your husband do?

It was him, I murdered

What exam have you got today?

Tamil

- Pasupathi, is it registered in the FIR? - Done sir

Tear it off

Get her to the examination hall

Sir!

I'll talk to my brother-in-law and get you the order

Forget about it all and go attend your exam

Lakshmi...

- His daughter is missing - I'm sure she was abducted from near the house

- Time must be around 4 - 4:30 - IG has personally requested

He is his relative

Also, he works for the customs

So, get me the reports as and when you get it

Yes sir

That girl seems went missing from somewhere near her house

So, check if there is any CCTV in any of the building in that street

Yes sir

Also, when that girl went missing...

a gift box was found tied around her pet's neck

Her parents are really shocked seeing that

This is the gift box

Here

Who gave you the permission to release that 'murder case' woman?

The father tried to molest his own daught...

That girl must be of same age as Ammu

That doesn't give you the liberty to do anything you want

I didn't take any liberty

According to IPC section 120 states murder for self defense

You know it very well and I released her under that section
