'NEDUNCHALAI!'

Old man! Will you accompany me on a trip?

- I will not come. - I will pay you.

- Surat! - Keep quiet!

Don't you know that he will not come to any place other than Delhi?

As if he is a central minister!

Is he going to solve the problem after signing in Parliament?

One day, he will die after being hit by a lorry.

Will not come if I call!

Old man, drivers are new. Go along with them to Delhi.

Have you taken original license from them?

Oh! Give your license.

Take this money. Rs. 50000. Spend with care.

We are going on a long trip.

Why are you sending an old man with us?

- Send a young fellow. - I know everything.

Take him along with you.

Take money from the old man for the toll gate.

One single!

Hey!

- Hey! - What is it?

Look there!

A parcel has fallen from a lorry.

Stop! Stop!

Do not stop. Continue driving.

Shut up. We know.

We have got something on our first trip itself.

If we get money out of this, we could buy a new lorry.

Lift! Lift!

Hey!

Hey! Keep it!

Beat him

What are you doing?

I'll kill you

Give money.

The old man has it.

- Hey! Give money. Take it out. - Don't beat me

- Hey! Do you have? - I do not have money.

- Give money. - I do not have.

They have. Ask them.

He is saying that you have.

- Give. - You will die.

Run!

Police! Come, let's go away.

Thank God! They left us with internal injuries.

Okay. Blood is oozing from your nose. Wipe it.

- For whom? - For you.

But it is not paining.

It is called internal injury.

Old man, is the money more important to you than our lives?

What if we had died?

But you didn't die.

Where had you kept it when they beat you and asked?

I threw it outside.

When did you take it back?

When the police were talking to you, I took it back.

How do you know that it will happen like this?

As if I have not done this before!

Have you heard about Tharpai Murugan?

- Who is that? - Yes.

Don't you know Tharpai Murugan?!

He is a very smart guy.

That is us.

"Crossing over the ocean!"

"Crossing over the waves!"

"He is coming!"

"He is coming!"

"On the highways!"

Somebody is coming!

"Very nice!"

"Very nice!"

Old man!

We spoke without knowing that you are from the Tharpai Murugan group.

Do not take it seriously.

My father used to drive a lorry fearing Tharpai Murugan group.

- He used to tell often. - Is it?

He takes so much risk in running a lorry.

What if he meets with some accident?

He was born in an accident.

Oh God!

In those days, if I stand with a stick

the whole village used to tremble.

Hey! Give money and then go.

"Saved a diamond."

"Asked for a diamond." - I will bring him up.

" What came along with me?"

"Tears came."

"Saved a diamond."

"Asked for a diamond." - You do not listen to me.

"What came along with me?"

"Tears came." - Do you want guavas?

"If I fall.." - Teasing me!

"Earth is there to hold me."

"Leave it." - Why are you playing here?

"God is there with us." - Nobody should go fast when they cross us.

Guava for sale! Guava! Sir, do you want guavas?

- What is the price? - Ten rupees.

So costly!

- Is it a good one? - Yes, they are good.

Brother!

Give money. The bus is starting.

Hey! You thief!

Your son is running so fast!

Send him with me. I can make him a great person.

Are you the area collector that you can make him a great person?

You thief!

If you come to me asking for him, I will kill you.

Won't I give if I have money? I do not have money.

Grandfather is very sick. I want money for buying medicine.

Will my grandfather recover?

Your grandfather is dead.

He drank spurious liquor. We couldn't save him.

"There is reason to cry if only you were born."

"There are many people who were born before."

Brother!

"What is the point in crying?" - Grandfather is dead.

"The world is a very big place."

"Even you have a role in that."

Please don't delay like the other person. Will you come fast?

That is my mother.

If you leave fast, she will get food for me.

I am hungry.

Was your mother a whore?

Speak properly. We will not reach Delhi.

Sir, he has stolen the hen.

- Did you steal? - Yes.

- 305! - Yes, sir.

Give the hen.

You may go.

Sir, my hen?

What will we show in the court? Go away.

As if you will show! You will prepare a dish.

- Give it to my house. - Okay, sir.

- Even I did the same thing! - Go and sit.

Thief! He is beating me!

What happened? Did he stamp on your stomach?

He is crying because he is hungry.

Take.

If you want more eggs, I have to ask the Inspector.

Shall I ask?

Kanniappan was everything for us.

We used to call him Guru.

We were stealing just rice bags.

After Murugan came, our business flourished.

Just by hearing the lorry sound

he could say if it carried goods or if it was empty.

He used to smuggle goods from all the lorries.

That is how Murugan became Tharpai Murugan.

Lorry drivers used to tremble if they heard his name.

They have just heard of this name. Nobody has seen him.

He used to smuggle rice and cattle to Thiruvananthapuram and Kerala.

He became one among us.

Boss! Boss!

Will not allow me to sleep!

What are you doing inside?

Why did you shout?

Kerala Police, who are on the other side of the mountain may hear.

Murugan lorry has come. Come.

Why are you going in the front like a boss? Come behind.

Lakshmi, come.

I told you many times not to call me like that.

You are Murugan for others.

But for me, you are Lakshmi.

Should not change that.

What have you brought today?

Go. Go and see.

- TV sets. - You are lucky.

Boss, these are TV sets.

- Very lucky. - What sort of luck?

Are they gold?

Calling me lucky.

Boss, you have lots of gold in the house.

Do you have a TV set in your house?

Don't talk about that.

- Where is the antenna? - Antenna?

Yes.

When you puff, you feel like a thorn. Isn't it?

- Yes. - That is the antenna.

Yes. I saw that on Lakshmi's terrace.

He used to turn it like a hen.

Only then he can see the picture.

Why so less money?

At least you get some money. I do not get anything.

No antenna.

Mattu Sekhar used to get all the money.

He used to take the goods brought by us and sell it at a high price.

But Murugan never used to touch the money.

"A means Amalapuram."

"Aha means Ahapuram."

"E means Echapuram." - Sir!

- Yes. - Sir!

Eat. Why are you not eating?

"A means Amalapuram."

"Aha means Ahapuram."

- Hey! - What, master?

MGR's movie is being shown in this city theatre.

Let's see the first show, eat at a good restaurant..

- Master! - What?
