Ezhumalai (ஏழுமலை)

Look here! Before I start to interrogate...

If you have any weapons, please keep them over here.

You.

Collector Sir, these are the weapons we have.

We can only play music with these things we won't be able to fight.

Hey Venkatachalam, are you making fun?

Did your villagers & my uncle's villagers fight without weapons?

Nagalingam, you are an outsider.

You don't know about the problem which took place over here.

You shouldn't interfere in this matter.

Hey, what's it, whether I belong to this village or not?

He is my uncle.

I'll talk on behalf of him for his good or bad deeds.

I've the right. See, he's blabbering.

In last year's God's procession...

...Their men were fully drunk & tried to push the Festival Chariot.

Kalingarayan's henchmen killed our men who questioned about that.

Hey, leave that. What has happened in the past is like spitting.

Now, I'm asking that this year's God procession should...

...Pass through our village only.

Is it possible or not?

Look, God is common to all.

During God's procession, we can shed sweat not on blood.

Can you give assurance in writing?

Hey, Get lost, you useless.

They're asking in writing as if we're asking for their property.

Look... Look.

If this year's God's procession doesn't pass through our uncle's village...

Your village will turn into a graveyard.

Lord Narasimha can only help them.

Hey, chop them... chop them.

No, sir. Don't harm my husband.

Get lost.

Kill him Uncle, kill him.

Hey Kalingarayan, why you're behaving arrogantly?

Listen to me. - Get lost.

Did you see my ability, I've put my leg on your chest.

Harm me.

But, don't harm my people or destroy their belongings.

I beg you.

Hey Venkatachalam, if you want us to stop this...

...You must carry the God's idol & should come around my uncle's village.

Will you do that? Are you ready to sacrifice your villagers?

No... No... - Tell me.

Don't harm them.

I'll do as you say. Don't harm them.

Look here...

Hereafter, the earnings from the Temple lands belongs to us.

Sir, is there no end for their atrocities?

Liquor is Sandal bowl, enjoying sex in Temples, this is life style of Kalingarayan.

We've mortgaged our villager's honour at his feet.

They killed my elder son by chopping off his head.

I thought of giving birth to an another child but, I gave up that idea.

They had destroyed my farm.

Still, by sowing the seeds which we saved for the next season.

We'll be able to survive.

For how many days & years should we live by fearing them?

We've eaten God's offering in the Temple from your hands.

Either show us the way to live or give poison with the same hands.

You all must try to understand one thing.

Look here...

Kalingarayan who roams with knife & crow bar in front of us.

There's no use for us to sing Hymns of God.

Is there no solution for this? - It's there.

The Gods whom we worship, appear with knives and other weapons.

Do you know why?

Because, when truth is in danger, we must be ready to fight against them.

By praying God, we've softened ourselves to peace & compromise.

Hereafter, we've to avoid that softness.

We must identify the weapons for our children.

Only then, the younger generation will grow without any fear.

It's not enough to have Ayyanar Idol on the border to save our village...

Many living Ayyanars should roam around this village.

Every family should give up one son to this village.

Their life & death must be only for this village.

Only then, we can destroy injustice & do Justice.

What do you say?

Yes... Yes... Yes...

Sir...

As you said, they've brought a boy from every house.

Everyone is waiting for you.

They're ready to sacrifice their lives for our village.

Greetings sir...

Everyone has come. Then, only my house is left.

We'll protect this village.

Who is it? Is it temple priest?

Today is our sister's daughter Anjali's birthday.

Make all the arrangements in the temple for God's offering on her name.

We'll be there in a short while, okay.

Keep the vehicles ready? - Yes sir.

Hey, stop. - Sir.

Properly count 1008 lemons and 1008 coconuts.

I'll break your head if anything is less or more. Get lost. - Yes, sir.

Go fast.

Hey, Is Anjali ready? - No, sir.

Oh God! 9-10:30 is an auspicious hour?

We must go & worship God before that.

In the auspicious time, even God will close his eyes, you know that, isn't it.

Bring her fast. Get lost...

Look there, isn't she very beautiful?

Brother-in-law...

How is the rain of flowers? Is my daughter very happy?

How couldn't she be happy?

Oh God! In a village where people look at the sky for rain...

...You're pouring rain of flowers. Brother-in-law... Brother-in-law...

If I think, I'll even buy heaven for my daughter.

Okay, give the phone to Anjali.

Dear, your father is on line...

Dear, my birthday wishes to you.

Only my body is here. But my soul is over there only.

You must be very happy.

It's only important to me.

I'll come there next week.

Get married very soon.

Where is the dance master?

Who are you?

Our Senathipathy has asked us to bring you.

If he wants to see me, ask him to come.

Why're you staring at me? What? What?

Please be quiet. Don't be in a hurry.

Senathipathy is a very rich man in this village.

It's better if you go there.

Yes Boss, what this elderly person says is correct.

If they enquire, everyone will come to know about us.

At this time, it's better to give up & go with them.

I'll come.

Greetings.

Oh God! Are you the Master?

I thought that he'll be a 60 year old man.

He's like a 20 year old chap.

Where did you learn dance?

In Tirupachi.

We asked about dance.

He's telling about place where weapons are made.

You close your school & settle here itself.

Whenever our Anjali gets bored... Teach her dance.

I can't.

Not for free. Take Rs.1 lakh.

The Art, which is greater than life & a true Artist.

They're not lamps.

They're like Sun.

A single person can neither trap him nor fix him a price.

Get lost. To hell with your art & artist...

Person having seizures will move hand & legs, isn't that Bharathanatiyam.

If a blind person admires a rain bow, people call him mad.

Okay, leave teasing.

And come to my house from tomorrow & teach dance.

Else, your fate will change.

A coin has 2 sides. My dance has also 2 sides.

One is Gestures and another one is Manhood.

Without knowing that, don't try to threaten me.

Don't get angry.

Shouldn't our Anjali learn Bharathanattiyam?

There're not only gestures in Bharathanattiyam, there's salvation also.

There're not only body movements, it is also divine.

Though we've millions, we must only go to the Temple.

Temple won't come to our place.

See you.

Hey, Stop.

My fort is like a spider's web.

There's no history about people who disobeyed me & went out.

Do you know that?

Abhimanyu learnt to break the Battle plan in the foetus stage.

I'm more than him.

Hey, release the dogs.

Jimmy, go...

Oh God! Release the dogs. - They're not going.

You don't know to respect people which your dogs know.

Learn that first.

Then, your daughter will learn dance.

Come, here.

Please stop.

What're you doing here?

When you came to our house on that day, my uncle misbehaved with you.

I came to tell sorry.

I was very keen to learn dance ever since my childhood.

Will you teach me?

I'm a motherless girl, don't say ' No'.

No.

This's not the way to greet your master.

If we fold hands above our head, it means we're worshipping God.

If we fold hands in front of our face, it's for the master.

If we fold hands in front of our chest, it's for our parents.

If we tighten our fist & greet like this...

For old students, teachers and elders.

Last, this is very important. It's for the Mother Earth.

With these hands, if we touch the Mother Earth & worship.

...Mother, I stamp you when I dance...

Asking for forgiveness, we must worship like this.

Understood?

Are you ready?

I told you not to go for night shows, did you listen to me?

Since we got up late, Master has finished prayer & is going to beat us.

Why have you come at this hour?

For dance class.

What? Bharathanattiyam at the time when we're brushing...

Your interests are out of limits.

Please, go back in the same way you came.

We've lot of work. Come fast.

From tomorrow, I can get up before him only, if I don't sleep.
