Jigarthanda (ஜிகர்தண்டா)

Welcome sir

Come, we were just waiting for you

Karthik has sent you a gift

It's over, he's dead

Hello, I'm out.. ya I'm coming in

Hi viewers, welcome back to 'Start Camera, Action'

Now we are in the semi-final round, and things have gotten tougher

because every contestant have created..

..an unique short film of its kind on a specific genre

Just before the Ad-break,

We all enjoyed watching the short film directed by our contestant Karthik.

Hey, where the hell you've been? Quick, walk fast

Don't stop, keep walking

Keep moving man!

Before the Ad-break we watched your short film

We have got 4 contestants in this exciting semifinals

And only three of them can reach the finals

One of the contestants has to be eliminated

So Karthik, how are you feeling at this moment?

Alright! I believe you are bit tensed

Let's listen to the comments about your film from our 2 esteemed judges

National award winning director - Mr Mukhil

Blueberry Productions producer-Mr Sundar

Mukhil sir, your comments on Karthik's film

Rubbish movie

Sundar sir, your comments please

Out of all the films I watched here,

This is the best!

It may look rubbish for the experienced director,

But for my eyes it looks great This film is the best

Because of producers like you, Our cinema industry is on it's downfall

Because of directors like you,

commenting every movie as rubbish is the reason for it's downfall

But I'm not a fool like you

Yes, I'm a fool to produce your movie

Didn't you beg me to make a movie

Sir, please let's talk and sort it out

Sir, I didn't mean that way

Why the hell did you invite me?

Shut the camera!

Why did you agree for such a program Mohan?

Sir, let's adjust and finish it off

This argument is more than enough for them to show case for 10 episodes

Why should I do this?

You know very well that he is an idiot

That lunatic is calling me a fool..

You know very well that he is an idiot

Then why did you invite such an idiot?

If you can give your judgment, we can wrap up the show

Don't irritate me

Shouldn't have come here Just came for your boss

Ask him to tell the judgment

If you can give your judgment, we can wrap up the show

I'll give my judgment, but make sure you don't telecast the argument we had earlier

No sir! We won't Please come in

I wont speak one more word

Sir, just come on to the stage, we'll take care of the rest

Let's finish it off and leave

We have reached the end of this semi-final round

3 of the contestants here would move on to the finals,

and the winner would be given a chance to direct a feature film

Our judges will now announce the results

Let him announce

Mukhil sir, who is gonna be eliminated today?

Given an option I would eliminate all 4 of them

But as the situation demands just one elimination,

Karthik, I reject you

Winning is just not about being acclaimed by critic or reaching the finals

It's about making a profit

That is why we, producers, only can determine the winning formula

I am telling right away, I am gonna produce his film

Karthik, come by my office tomorrow and collect your advance

I will produce your film

From today you are a feature film director.

It has been a big day

Today on our stage we got a producer for Karthik's debut film

No one came to help even in middle of the day

I'm already very tensed, just keep quiet

Yesterday I just uttered a few words out of frustration

Believing that he has come all the way to office

There has been reports of your act in almost all newspapers

The boy's uncle is a reporter, hence there is a half page coverage

What to do then?

Karthik? Sir is calling you

Be confident and narrate your story

A train traveling at high speed

Let's have shots cut at every station track

Then we 'll super impose the title melody sound track here

Train sound..

Now he gets down at the main train station

Goes straight to her house but its locked

He breaks in with full force

He finds her hanging to death, Right?

- Yes Sir - I know

Finally it boils down to killing the Actor to bag an award

Sir, it's not such an ordinary script

I have a strong message in this movie that reflects..

..and questions the societal problems of the world

After that, who will run behind the law suits?

Look, you have substance

I don't want to make movies on Social revolutions

I want.. uh.. uh..

I want to make a Gangster movie

On hardcore violence and bloodshed

A movie like Godfather, Scarface and the likes

A similar script. Am even okay if you rip off from these scripts

Come up with a good Gangster script I'll produce your movie

I Guarantee

Correct.. No more excuses!

I've decided to make a Gangster movie

- Superb pal.. - But not an imaginary story..

I am going to meet them.. Understand them.. And then make a soulful story

A Realistic movie. Based on a True story!

Did you find anything?

These are all that I could find

These are the same old stories.. Already made in to movies

And they are all.. dead

I want to know about a gangster who is in on the rise

need to meet him, personally, watch him closely, and then write a script

You expect them to write an autobiography and place it in the library

Why are you wasting my time..

You are an experienced reporter,

you should be knowing someone

I just cover politics and Lankan issue

Both are one and the same

During your days,

The 'Cat eyed Actress' was Madhuri, right?

All the gangsters life has the same template

They will kill someone and take his place

In turn someone else will kill him and takes his

How long are you gonna make the same sort of movies

There is a guy, like never seen in any movie

- An outlaw in Madurai - Rowdy in Madurai?

Great! Who is that?

His name???

There were 4 murder in the fruit market, 3 years back..

- Yes Sir! - He is the first accused in that

young, should be in his late thirties

Unable to retrieve his name

How would I know?

Don't worry. I will get you the case file

Don't ever use his name

He will find and kill you

He is a psychopath

His name is Sethu

"Assault" Sethu

What's your name?

"Hidden Tiger"

Hey there is an article about him

Shocking revelation!

That was written by uncle's friend

Right! He is writing it in his pen name as 'Hidden Tiger'

Even he writes it spying on him

I can get you his contact details, but you gotta be careful

You are the one, right?

You could have published my photo right?

Instead you drew a cartoon

How many of them would have laughed at it

Mother fucker! Do I look funny?

Till now it was working

Anyone else got a light?

That's why snatched this

Do you?

Even if he has, it would be wet by now

Hey get the tools

Brother, I'll kill him

Why are you in such a hurry to kill

You have not been around that long, first watch and learn

- One step at a time - Okay brother

Thank God! All that petrol would be wasted

'Sleeping Truth' by "Hidden Tiger"

Truth hurts, do you know that?

Especially the truth of peeping into my house will hurt like hell

Hey he may be a psycho

Not may be, he is actually a psycho

I am going to Madurai and making a movie on Sethu's life

All the Madurai talk strikes a bell on someone in our college

"Oorni"

That blue T-Shirt guy, he's my customer

Look! He is staring at me

He is mine, move along

I said I don't need an auto

Just shut up and come with me. Brother is waiting for you

Hello, I think you have mistaken me..

Its no mistake

Just give me my bag I'll leave

He is my guy. You got scared?

Were you gonna pee in your pants?

Ganesh you shouldn't have threatened him a lot

How long it's been since college,

Should make a grand appearance, right?

Then why all of a sudden to Madurai?

Hey why are you settling down?

Dude, I am your guest

What plan you have come?

Take bath, Let's visit the temple and then my shop

Let's have lunch at Amma mess and then you can board the train back home tonight

Oorni, just for a month. Will write a story about Sethu and I'll leave

They are all cold blooded murderers

Let them be. You need to take risk in life to succeed
