Aadu Puli (ஆடு புலி)

'Aadu Puli.'

Today is a very important day of the village fair.

Getting on top of that pole is the highlight of this day.

You see that guy there? I'll be marrying him.

Why do you like him? - He's fighting to reach the top.

I'm sure he'll fight to do well in his life as well.

I thought you like him for a very different reason.

Hey, Karuppu? Did you manage to woo someone?

Do you realise you are too old for all this? - Okay, let it go!

Do you know? There is a relation between that pole and our lives.

Hey, you are so bothered about everyone's illicit relations.

Idiot, tell me what it is! - Let it go!

Just like the way one slips down from that slippery pole

life, too, tries to pull you down. But you must continue to grow!

You are a loser yourself!

I understand things only when you try to teach me about losing!

Cover your head. Else, they'll drill holes in it.

Troublesome fellow! - He managed to tease me!

Hey, ask them to pour turmeric water.

He is here! - Hey.. - Hey..

Do you want some coffee? I'll get it from..

Climb fast..

Oh, God! He is here.

My dear fellow villagers

my employer who belongs to the most influential family

has arrived after taking leave from the bank he works at.

'He is Bhagyanathan He hails from this village.'

'He works as a manager at a bank in Chennai.'

'He loves watching films. He is a great admirer of actor M.G.R.'

'He's an ardent fan!'

'They are his parents, Mrs. Sampoornam and Mr. Sabapathy.'

'Bhagyanathan fears his father.'

'If he disagrees with his father, his father says..'

'Hey! Who is the elder one? You or me?'

'This makes Bhagyanathan go quite.'

'She's Bhagyanathan's wife, Kalaiarasi.'

'He married her because of her name.'

'That is because that's the title of one of actor M.G.R's films.'

'She is Bhagyanathan's daughter, Rani Samyuktha.'

'This is again the title of one of actor M.G.R's films.'

'He has a son. His name is..'

This is again the title of one of actor M.G.R's films.

Hey, Idhayakanni..

Hey.. - Hey.. - Hey..

Hey..

Hey..

Hey.. Careful!

Hey..

Hey! Success! - Success!

"I won when everyone was looking at me in amazement!"

"A girl who has plaited her hair will dance with me merrily!"

"We're fortunate! Everything is working in our favour!"

"We have an advantage! So, we'll emerge victorious!"

"This girl looks brave and beautiful."

"This girl invited me secretly."

"Her father is right here. He'll kill me if I get caught."

"He is shielding his daughter from people like me."

"If a pretty girl is standing on the street"

"ogling her is a crime."

"Tamil girls of this generation will not tolerate such nonsense."

"We, Tamils, are pure-hearted!"

"A Tamil can do anything that he wants!"

"Everyone will be shook!"

"If someone competes with me, I will emerge victorious!"

"I can beat many by myself."

"Actor M.G.R will rotate the stick as such! I've watched every movie!"

"I have passed my courage on to my son."

"I won when everyone was looking at me in amazement!"

"A girl who has plaited her hair will dance with me merrily!"

"We're fortunate! Everything is working in our favour!"

"We have an advantage! So, we'll emerge victorious!"

No one here wants to be punctual. - 'Smoking is injurious to health.'

Grandfather, you seem tense. - Nothing as such.

No one listens to you these days, right? - That's not true!

Is it? - Sir..

Thank God! You haven't left yet. I came running to see you.

What's the matter? - Please name my son.

This is the respect I command. - You are like godfather, is it?

So, where is your son? - He's right here. Son, come here.

Were you pranking me all this while? - Not at all, sir.

Ever since he was born, either you weren't here to name him

or I wasn't around to get you to name him.

Now he has grown up. I've been calling him 'son' ever since.

What he meant is that he didn't find the stick to beat the dog.

But when he found the stick, the dog wasn't around to get hit.

Hey, whom are you referring to as dog? - I don't know, sir.

Get lost. - I just realised that even oldies can slap hard.

Of course we can. - He slapped me hard..

Come here. Come closer.

Haridas.. - I don't like this name!

You are the godfather, right? Yes, Father? - This is why

it is said that kids should be named before they learn to speak.

Am I clear? - Let's go.

From now, you'll be called Rajini. - Superb, Dad!

Hey, Sampoornam! Aren't you ready yet?

Please hurry up!

She's almost here, Father-in-law. - Okay! - Hurry up!

Why are you yelling? We are here, right? - That's right!

Dear, am I late?

It's been 10 years since I named that boy. Get in. - What?

Get inside! - All right..

Hey, plant the saplings quickly. They'll ripen if you delay.

Boss, have I ever come to your office and given ideas?

I'll whack you! - Hey, Bhagyanathan! - You moron!

Are you coming or not? - Tell him that I'm coming.

Grandpa, he says that he won't come.

Hey.. What's this? Get lost!

I'm coming! - Hey! - Are you talking back to me?

No, Dad, he was the one.. - Hey!

Who is the elder one here? You or me? Get in!

He doesn't listen to me these days.

"Chacha.. Chacha Nehru!"

"Chacha.. Chacha Nehru!"

"Chacha.. Chacha Nehru.."

"Chacha.. Chacha Nehru!"

I extend my greetings to the elders and my blessings to the children.

Today is Jawaharlal Nehru's birthday.

It's Children's Day.

I thank these children for making me wear a mask of Nehru's face

and making me feel like a child.

Poet Kannadasan has written a fine song about children.

"Lord Kannan smiled a lot when he was young."

It starts as such.

"If He had remained young, there wouldn't have been any problem."

He ends it as such.

Isn't it true?

We face more problems as we grow older.

If you want to make your school proud

all of you ought to study well. That's it.

'Numbers and letters to people'

'are as important as eyes to them.'

I'll end my speech with this 'Thirukkural'.

Hail Minister Thillainayagam! - Hail Minister Thillainayagam..

Down with Minister Thillainayagam! - Stop the car!

Down with Minister Thillainayagam! - Hey.. - How dare you!

Down with Minister Thillainayagam! - Hey.. Stop it!

Down with Minister Thillainayagam! - Leave way.

Down with Minister Thillainayagam!

Move aside. - Hail.. - Why are you hitting him?

The one who voted for me is angry. - Hail Minister Thillainayagam!

It's my duty to answer him. - Hail.. - Hail..

Mister! - Hail.. - What's your name. - Loganathan.

Loganathan, I'm not upset that you want me down.

But, why did you say that?

Sir, I stay in Rani Anna Nagar. There's no power supply.

Oh. - It's been 10 days since the transformer broke down.

My kids have exams and they have to study. - Oh, God.

We're having dinner at 5 p.m. every day since there's no power.

I have complained to every officer, but there was no use.

Loganathan, what's the point in complaining to others?

Why didn't you come to me? - Sir, I've already complained to your PA.

Siva! - It slipped my mind, sir.

You say it so casually!

I'm humiliated because of your mistake.

Look, I don't know what you'll do

but power must be restored to their area by today evening.

Okay, sir. - A fine question will help the nation progress.

Take pictures of this man

instead of cinema stars and politicians like me.

Loganathan, shall we take a photo together? - Hail..

Hail Minister Thillainayagam.. - Click our photo.

Hail Minister Thillainayagam.. - Hail Minister Thillainayagam..

Hail Minister Thillainayagam.. - Hail..

Sir..

Sir..

Hey, Loganathan! How come you are here?

I've asked them to restore the power supply to your area.

Oh, did they thrash you?

It's nothing, they are my fans.

What do you look surprised?

Should only the cinema stars have fans?

Shouldn't I have fans? I do.

They're idiots, they understand everything in the wrong way.

That is..

They thrashed you because I put my hand around your shoulders.

They would've cut your hand off if I had shaken it.

They would've killed you if I had hugged you.

Sir...

Get up.. No.. I won't hug you.

Why do you think in a negative way, wanting me down?

Think in a positive way and hail me.

That will be good for you and me.

Hail the minister! - Wow! - Hail the minister.. - Good!

Hail the minister.. - You are smart.

Shout the same thing and leave.

Hail the minister.. - Loganathan!

If someone inquires about your injuries..

I'll tell them that I fell off the vehicle, sir.

You are really smart. Go on.

Hail the minister..

Hail the next CM! Hail the minister.

Wow! - Hail the minister. - This sounds positive!

I'm coming.

Anjali, wake up and get ready. It's getting late.

Why is it whistling so hard?

She hasn't woken up yet.

Hey, Anjali, didn't you get up yet? Hey, It's getting late, wake..

Where did she go?

You're going to school without even worrying about your daughter

who went missing from bed.
