Year 1960
'Vadakkupatti'
A small village in the northern part of Tamil Nadu
Since the river flows on all sides of this village,
The only way to enter and exit this village is through this bridge.
20 years ago,
a major flood hit the village.
Kannatha, their protective deity, got drowned in the flood.
Some believe their God is buried in the soil...
and is watching over them from the mountain.
After the disappearance of the deity, most of the villagers claim...
that they saw an evil spirit roaming in the village.
Whoever gets rid of the evil spirit shall become the leader of the village...
That caused a rivalry between these two individuals!
Mookkaiyan
Kaalaiyan
[Crowd shouting in support]
No,I will be the first to destroy it
[Crowd quieting at the distant sound]
[Distant conch shell blowing]
Is today a full moon day?
Yes
[Blows conch shell] -Let's run faster.
Guys, run faster!
Hey kid, it's 6 pm already!
Please come to a conclusion
Sir, one penny a pot. I can't sell two for the price of one.
Hey, it's made of clay. It has no value.
For a little more money, I could get an aluminum vessel in town.
Then go buy it and get lost!
Dad, let's go
Talking to him is pointless
Watch it, or I'll thrash you!
Let's go.
It's late already.
Hey, get inside.
[Huffing in irritation]
Son, don’t be afraid
If we are in trouble,
the God from the mountain will come down to watch over us
Oh, from that mountain?
Yes, it will.
Oh, yes.
I am making pots, when I should be in school. The God continues to watch.
I hardly earn for the pots I craft.
The God continues to watch.
When the flood hit us, we lost everything...
along with the God you prayed to.
All that remains for us,
is the Neem tree and a piece of land
What can we possibly earn from that?
Don't put a price on everything, especially in matters of God
[Hmm, disapprovingly]
Mom,
Even the gods you mentioned can be seen upclose only after paying some money.
Mother Goddess, please let him come to his senses.
Stop right there!
Where are you all going?
We had been patient long enough. We are going to finish it's chapter today.
Guys, please listen to me.
It's beyond human capacity to destroy it
You won't be quiet when someone breaks into your house to steal, would you?
Guys, drop it
Say my name and borrow two cigars from 'it' when you see it.
Guys, let's go
Don't you know about him already?
Guys, don't go! Stop!
Hey, stop!
Bloody thief, stop right there!
Sir, why did you stop?
Do you want to get killed by the demon while chasing a thief?
- So, this is the village? - Yes.
''Vadakkupatti Entry Begins, Welcome"
Come on. Get on.
[Goats bleating]
[Pots clattering]
Thief ! Thief ! Hey,Thief !
- Dear, what happened? - Mom, it's a thief!
Dear, stop.
- Don't go alone - Stop,right there!
- Today is the day... - let's confront it
(shocked)
Holy cow!
Katteri (demon) has entered Thennamara Street."
- Hey, run! - Everybody, assemble with your weapons.
Hey thief !
I know you are right here.
Pay for the broken pots, now!
[Crowd approaching loudly]
[Crowd shouting in warning]
[Gasps of shock]
[Thunder rumbling]
Mother Goddess!
You fools...
Didn't I tell you already?..
that only the power of our Goddess can destroy that demon.
Our Mother Goddess Kannatha is back.
Kannatha, our protector deity, has come back to us!
Hey,that's my pot!
Mother Goddess, please accept my offering too.
"Mother Goddess" (chanting by the people)
Mother Goddess ?
He learnt that in this village, the name of God shall be the only way to earn.
Kannatha, despite the ample land available in this village.
You chose this humble man's land to manifest yourself
I will build a temple and take good care of you.
Temple ?
Are you the Ramasamy who denied the existence of God?
I'm not that Ramasamy!
After 14 years (1974)
"Temple of Goddess Kannatha, Vadakkupatti"
- "Mother Goddess" - "Mother Goddess"
Didn't they promise early access to temple after paying for tokens?
Why is it still locked?
Be patient...
The temple opens after the ritual 'Kabala Motcham'
What does "Kabala Motcham" mean?
Once our prayers are answered we must carry out this ritual.
We shall continue with our prayers only after that.
Who is the sage here to carry out a devotional ritual?
Look there!
Ramasamy, the decorations are done with. Shall we begin the Pooja?
- How many heads? - Ten
Didn't we make 25 last week?
People's prayers have dwindled these days.
Murugesa, has the villagers come to their senses now?
Ramasamy, we will never let that happen.
Cook up stories about the Goddess waving her hand or blinking her eye.
Make sure the rumors about the Goddess are active in the village.
That is what keeps the money flowing.
Hey,stop
Show your tricks to them not me. Carry on.
Those who believe in Kannatha will never suffer.
(groans in pain)
Those who believe in Kannatha will never suffer.
- Sir, what was your prayer. - My leg was injured and I was bedridden.
I suggested offering an anklet for the Goddess, to make him walk again.
- Does he walk now? - Yes, he does.
How is that even possible?
He sold his vehicle to buy the anklet.
Eventually it forced him to walk anywhere and everywhere
Murugesa!
The divine power of the Goddess is truly exceptional.
- Those who believe in Kannatha - will never suffer.
- Son, what did you pray for? - I prayed for my dad to stop drinking.
Is it not prohibited to enter our village drunk?
That's why I doze off at Podiyur every night!
My son tied this sacred rope to my hand when I was asleep.
The Goddess will punish me if I continue to drink, so I quit drinking.
Mother Goddess!
Mr.Potluck!
Mother Goddess!
Oh mother!
Brother! You can proceed!
Since you prayed on behalf of your father.
So on behalf of you...
Your dad will do the rituals.
Those who believe in Kannatha won't be disappointed.
Dear !
Make it quick.
- Oh,it's him. - Yes.
What did you pray for?
My daughter finished studying medicine...
and joined the hospital at madras as she wished.
So, it's time you find a good match for her.
In time you will witness the funeral march of the groom?
Dear, don't you know Kayalvizhi from childhood?
- How can you speak ill of her? - I speak the truth because I know her.
She'll go to great lengths to prove her ideology and thoughts are right.
Get her married to someone from faraway land
That's best for you and this village.
There are men waiting in line to take her hand in marriage.
Has he promised you food for tonight?
Dear, what's this? Looks like a storage pot!
Don't worry, it's just clay
Those who believe in Kannatha won't be disappointed!

Divine Sri Kannathal Temple.
Live with prosperity. Stay well with goodness.
Sir, please buy coconuts, flowers, fruits, sugar and garlands as offering.
- I already have them. - Apologies, sir
Offerings from outside are prohibited as part of our custom.
Disobeying is a deadly sin.
Breaking the tradition incurs Holy wrath. It is my duty to educate people.
Alright, give me.
Get the plate as well.
Here, sir.
- I didn't ask for the garlands. - Sir!
It is mandatory to offer the Garlands to the Mother Goddess!
When you offer one, you'll be given two leaves from this.
You got to keep them under your tongue, chew for four hours and then spit it.
You experience bitterness then.
With the bitter aftertaste, you got to taste the sugar to experience sweetness.
Thus you get to realise that life has both sweet and bitter moments.
It's a cherished custom here.
What other customs are observed in your temple?
Judging by your expression, I sense you're hoping to land in a government job.
Yes.
We have a special ritual for that.
Buy some oleander seeds and tie them to your waist chain.
Then roam around the peepal tree half-naked for half an hour.
You will then find yourself in a Government job.
This is a cherished custom we follow.
Blessed Mother Goddess, you were born of your own accord.
Did you buy the garland from the shop?
Yes.
The garland from the Mother Goddess bestows virtue.
It's just one rupee.
Why do you think the new Thasildar wants to meet us?
Peepal tree!
He visited our temple yesterday.
And today, the Goddess made him as a Thasildar.
Our Mother Goddess is powerful indeed.
Murugesu !
He already holds the position of a Thasildhar.
He visited our temple yesterday to spy on us.
Hello, sir.
Greetings to the officer.
Looks like you wanted to meet us?
Everybody, let's wait outside.
Despite being a Government employee,
You forced me to buy those things.
I can't imagine the money you would have earned from looting the public.
Sir!
Do apologize to Her.
Don't be the victim of Her wrath.
Let's make him do counter rituals.
I need the income and expenses of your temple,
on my table by tomorrow.
Murugesu,
Do you understand what he is getting at?
Oh! It's the money!
Sir,
This temple is on my land.
Government has no rights to inquire about the transactions at my temple.
I guess you know that, don't you?
If you are not aware...
why don't you ask Mr. SivaKumar who was here before you.
- See you then. - Please hold on.
If you listen to me,
I will help you earn tenfold of your income.
Buddy, please sit.
Ramasamy !
Your temple may be a private property.
Because of their love for the Mother Goddess,
many have donated their jewels and land in Her name, is that right?
Yes, it belongs to the Temple Trust.
Do you want me to go to jail after looting them?
This is where you prove to me as an illiterate.
You propose to the temple trustees that some temple lands are vacant,
It would reap profits if you lend that on a contract.
Instead of spending it on the temple...
spend it for the welfare of the village.
Speak as if you're considerate of others.
I'll bring in my contractor into the picture....
So, the income and expense are what we will decide them to be!
Sir, with this ingenious plan that jeopardizes the wealth of the village,
how could we benefit from it?
- Let's offer 5000 rupees to the villagers. - Why should we?
It's us who do the hard work of looting.
It's them we are stealing from.
So, we are robbing legally ?
The remaining would sum up-to 10,000 per month.
So 5000 rupees every month for us, is that right?
I came up with the idea and secured the contractor...
I also manage the money and I get 8,000 rupees!
You just secure the signatures along with your usual fraudulent activities...
So, your share is 2000 rupees for doing the easy job.
Is 2000 rupees not sufficient?
It could get you forty grams of gold today.
Sir, why can't it be like this?
We get to manage all of the villagers,
get the signatures from two wealthy fools after getting them together...
all while ensuring they don't meddle in our financial affairs...
or involve the authorities.
If exposed, we'll be driven out of village...
and be thrashed to pulp.
Since we live in a constant fear of the villagers, we get a share of 8000 rupees.
While you could easily switch the blame and get transferred to another village.
Hence you get a share of 2000 rupees. Does it sound good?
Without me, you won't be able to do this.
We would do it more grandly if you are out of the picture.
The contractors will come whether you call or I call.
It's all about commission
What's your final decision?
Thasil !
I've already shared my decision with you.
80 for us and 20 for you.
Buddy, 20 sounds a lot.
Shall we reduce it to 10 %?
Is that okay Thasil?
Hey, you fraudsters!
It won't be easy for you to surpass me.
Jumping over you might be tough,
But for money, we'll just make you bend a bit and we'll jump!
Thanks for your ideas though!
See you, sir.
I don't fall asleep without hearing the sound of her anklets.
Dear, son-in-law !
Looks like you've been waiting for this moment for 40 years?
Uncle !
It's not 40,Its 42 !
(Flying Kiss)
Let's ask her if she likes the groom.
Why do we even ask this to her?
It's very obvious she will say she doesn't like him.
- Am I right, dear ? - Yes, I don't like him.
Look, as her father I can understand my daughter.
She was never ready to marry him and tried to kill herself a couple of times.
This shows the credibility of the groom, isn't it?
But I have to keep my promise. Isn't that right, in-law?
Your wife's sister didn't want to marry you and killed herself, right?
But to keep up their promise...
your in-laws got you to marry their second daughter,right?
Isn't these things normal in our family?
(hysteric laughing)
What kind of a family is this?
This is a prime example of a 'shameless' family.
Hey Ramasamy ! Welcome dear !
You have arrived at the right time.
We've sealed the deal for my daughter's marriage with this crap.
The wedding is planned at our Kannathaal temple.
Is he the groom?
Most grannies in our town wear blouses because of him.
(shouting in anger)
Don't pick a fight over everything.
Murugesan says, Dhanraj had contributed blouses to all the elderlies free of cost.
Son-in-law...
Please adorn my daughter's hair with flowers
Look at him blushing.
(Laughing hysterically)
Why does he keep laughing despite her insulting him?
Even when broomstick and slippers were thrown at him, he was laughing still.
What Ramasamy?
We are just having fun here !
By the way,what brings you here?
All for a good reason, sir.
(burping)
Good, that you didn't eat here!
Food was so horrible.
Yeah, I can see that !
Kaalaiyan shouldn't find out that we came to Mookaiyan's house first.
Because Kalaiyan is a certified idiot while Mookaiyan is an uncertified idiot.
Some here,
some there ,
here,
Seems like his house is gearing up for a function?
Is it because Muthu hit puberty?
Hey, cut it out! Muthu is a boy
Again some this side!
Why is he cooking dosa on his tummy?
Sir, Is there any special event planned today?
Do I need a special occasion to invite everyone for a feast?
It seems my son glanced at the opposite house this morning.
It looks like they're having a traditional feast.
My boys told me that Ammu got upset seeing that!
His face clearly reflects his depression.
So, I ordered to decorate the house despite having nothing to celebrate.
If they had a funeral, he would have killed someone to arrange one too.
-What are you murmuring? -He got me!
Are you here to collect the donations for the temple?
How much did he give?
Sir, we are not here for donation.
We're here to discuss something else!
Shall we?
[Rhythmic drumming]
With this announcement we inform the villagers that..(muffled speech)
Change your monologue dude!
- For the well being of the villagers... - You are not being well!
- Old man, please let me talk - Alright, go ahead.
With the good intention of improving our village,
we invite you all to the signing of the temple's asset maintenance contract.
Who put you in-charge of Thandora announcements?
Nobody understood a word you said.
Go take your medicine on time. Enough with your drums.
-He is pointless, let's go. -Let's go.
Sir...
Both of you are seated the opposite way like you are relaxing in the fields.
It's been so long since the contractor came.
Once you are done with the signing, you may go relax in the fields.
He informed that the contract would earn up to 2000 rupees monthly.
Be honest with the accounts.
- Got it. - Of course sir.
Sir, don't you know it.
I will personally take care of the accounts.
Sir, it wasn't me! It's him
Yes, sir.
He informed that the contract would earn up to 2000 rupees monthly.
Be honest with the accounts.
Got it?
Hey Kaalaiya !
We know you only speak for the sake of the meeting.
Don't you know any other words other than repeating him?
Fool !
It got...
Accounts with honest be.
monthly 2000 up to earn would contract the
Informed me, He
Please don't fret.
Mr.Kaalaiyan was cautious about not repeating the Mr.Mookaiyan words.
So he reversed the words in the sentence.
(spitting to shame them)
(supporters agitated)
Sir!
The old man is not in his senses. He is on snuff overdose.
You don't have to mind him.
Shall we finish before the auspicious time ends?
The auspicious time shall strike again tomorrow too.
But I got some questions.
Please go ahead.
Now, if I object to sign,
everything shall be canceled, isn't that right?
Yes.
Where do you need my thumb impression?
- Go ahead. - Yes,Sir.
Get me one pen.
Dear, the pen doesn't write.
Back then, there was no need to remove the pen cap.
You should have been aborted!
Hello, Thasildhar sir.
What brings you here?
I came to offer my prayers.
Why did you stop? Continue signing.
Hold on, dear.
Thasildhar, you've arrived at the right time.
Contractor, hand me those documents.
Give it to me.
Can you read this and explain to us, sir?
I can't comment on the affairs of your village.
Even if it's not for him, please do it for me. Won't you?
You idiot.
I hope you read the document before signing.
Dear,
Back in 1940, the whole of Vadakupatti was flooded.
There is a school over the other side.
We all sought shelter there.
These guys didn't come to school even during those times.
Can you please be quiet?
Hey!You too didn't come to the school,right?
Shut up your mouth! Coming here uninvited!
Whose signature is at the top?
That's my signature.
The one at the bottom, is that a signature?
Sir,that's mine.
Boss!
How can he be above you?
Ramasamy, bring a new document.
Our boss won't sign another document.
It is decided that we are on top of you.
Let me decide who stays on top.
-Rip the document, right now. -How dare he raises his voice?
Go ahead and tear it first.
-Hey ! -Hey !
HEY !!
They are the most respected people in the village.
They got together for the first time to sign a document.
How could you tear the document? Their command was in a fit of rage.
Shameless idiots.
He's right. Remember we are in the temple premises.
He sounds right.
It is great that they reconciled on something together.
We got to pay them respect.
Bring the garland from the Mother Goddess.
Why did you only bring one? We need two, one for each of them.
The pundit sold all the other garlands for money.
What's going on? Was there only one garland on the Mother Goddess.
Fine.
Buy one more garland from the shop.
Honour me with the garland you have right now.
You may give the one from the shop to anybody else.
Brother, the garland you're holding deserves me.
While the garland from the shop deserves some idiot.
Your son is the number one idiot in the entire country!
Hey, one more word about my son...
and I'll beat you with a slipper
You're all talk; I get things done.
Let's see what you're capable of
How dare you hit me with a slipper?
I'll cut your legs and make sure you never wear slippers again.
Hey!
with respect to the issues related to temple's properties,
Due to the fight among the temple trustees..
The temple is temporarily sealed...
by the district collector.
Until the dispute is resolved within the management...
The maintenance,management and other related activities of the temple...
shall be taken care by the Government...
as per the district collector's order.
- You can start your work. - Sure, sir.
Until the problem is solved, you may pay 2000 rupees towards the temple trust.
That shouldn't be a problem, sir.
And what about my share?
Monthly 8000 Rupees. I hope you remember !
That shall also be taken care.
I'll leave now, sir.
"After three months"
- You wasted all my savings for alcohol ? - Don't hit me.
- Get me one more bottle. - Pay up first.
Granny!
Yes,dear.
What happened here?
The village went downhill right from the day Ramasamy brought in the contractor.
Shut your mouth, will you?
You talk as if this village was prosperous in the past.
Let me beat you to death.
Guys, what's the problem today?
We vow to break the heads of Mookaiyan's men.
In the past, they had reason behind all these silly fights.
But these days they continue to fight and we are not sure why.
If they don't resolve this soon...
It won't be easy to reopen the temple
Yes, shall we take our Kannathaa to North India...
and change her name to Kanmattha! (Mother of Eyes)
And then?
What about the offerings?
Should we offer chapathi's instead of sweet pongal?
You don't think before you speak, don't you?
You should have agreed to Thasildhar's deal when he proposed.
You locked horns with him and we lost everything we had.
We are bankrupt now.
What's your plan to solve this?
here..
I am planning to drink.
-Mr. Fraudsters. -Yes, dear.
Oh no, not her! Ask her to leave right away !
- Dear, you may leave from here. - Why should I leave?
This is my village and I will stay here.
Sure, stay here.
We are leaving.
Are you scared already?
Buddy, please accept that you are scared
She could talk for two hours straight, killing us in the process.
Two hours? Oh my God
Dear, I'm scared! We are all scared.
Murugesa, pretend scared and move fast, the toddy shop might run out of alcohol.
Cover your wet dhoti with a towel.
Hey!
She is calling you.
- I'm calling you. - She is calling you.
Your greed to earn money ended up closing the temple..
..and making the villagers worse off.
Almost all the men have become drunkards.
Really?
Did she see us influencing the villagers in a bad way?
If you are so concerned, then you should have bought some alcohol from Madras!
Did you bring them, dear?
Useless fellows.
Do you feel irritation in your eyes?
He feels irritated when someone prospers in front of him.
The whole village is in despair. He won't feel irritated anymore.
Answer me.
No, I don't feel any irritation. Why do you ask?
Why are your eyes bloody red?
Smoking beedi, darkens your lips.
When you are high on alcohol, the eyes go red.
Why do you keep yapping about it?
I am not yapping.
There is an eye infection spreading in Madras.
Bloodshot eyes are a symptom for the infection.
I thought the infection started spreading in our village too.
Don't talk as if you know everything.
Buddy, is he infected. Shall I push him into this river?
Not now.
- Alcohol ruins the household. - Here he comes, to disrupt the peace.
A drunkard spoils the nation.
Munuswamy brother!
Why don't you drink two glasses of alcohol?
Is that Sargunam?
- Yes,It's me. - No,Dear.
Why is that?
Long ago,when I wasn't in my right mind I drank alcohol in Her temple premises.
Mother Goddess punished me by making me blind.
But you people fought in her premises, shut down the temple...
and continue to drink right in Her premises.
It won't take long for Her to punish you with blindness.
She is called '1000 eyed deity' for a reason.
No point in preaching you!!
What? Will She make us blind? What does he mean?
He lost his eyesight because of the illegal cheap liquor he bought from Podiyur.
He thinks that 'The angry Goddess brought the wrath..
..upon him and pierced his eyes with the trident.'
and he keeps spreading the same story in the village
Yeah,I second that.
There is an eye infection spreading in Madras.
It won't take long for Her to punish you with blindness.
The infection could be the reason for bloodshot eyes.
She is called '1000 eyed deity' for a reason.
Dear, you could have stayed for a couple more days.
Dad, don't you know the nature of my job?
Indeed, yes. But I am worried about sending you to Madras by yourself.
I don't have anything to do here. Can I come and drop you?
- Don't trouble yourself, dad. - Murugesa,
they are distributing bran biscuits at the ration shops.
That too on a first-come, first-serve basis
-Is it? -Yes.
Dear, reach Madras safely.
I got an important meeting to attend. I'll leave now. See you.
He is ready to abandon her for a biscuit.
Sir, where are you headed?
To Madras !
What's your business there?
I am planning to get these guys bathed in the Cooum River.
It ain't funny.
Dear, we are going to Madras on a mission.
From now on, a new job, a new life..
- new alcohol as well. - Shameless!
Yesterday, you were telling me about an eye infection...
spreading in Madras.
Is it still prevalent?
Yeah. It should be.
How long will it take to cure the infection?
-It depends upon the medicine... -Dear!
Can you get my towel that I left there?
Are you going to use that towel to beg in this bus?
I used that towel to block the seat.
- Got a good seat, huh? - Mind your words.
Ignore him. You continue,
On medication, the infection can be cured in three days.
What if you don't use the medication?
-Then... -Dear!
My towel..
Hey ! Hey !
Go and take it!
You carry on.
Even without any medicine it will cure by itself in five days.
Why are you so interested in this?
I'm not interested, I'm scared.
What if I get infected ?
No need to worry.It won't affect you.
What's the name of the disease?
Conjunctivitis.
- Come again. - It's also called as "Madras Eye"
It sounds more scary.
Don't be scared. You will not be infected when you use spectacles.
"Madras Eye"
Back home, we got lots to worry about, including reopening of the temple.
Why did we come to Madras now?
If you had asked this at the village, I wouldn't have brought you along.
Don't act as if you are responsible.
We have come here regarding opening the temple.
Come on.
Madras Eye?
Let us carry the infection from here, without anybody's knowledge...
and spread it to those two families.
Then?
The Goddess got angry after the fight inside the temple premises,
and decided to punish these two who were responsible for the fight.
Let's make the villagers believe this story.
Will they believe?
They believe a clay pot is their God and worships it. They will buy this story.
Yes, they are rough boys indeed. What then?
Let's say that the temple needs to be reopened
..to reduce the wrath of the Goddess.
That will make them visit the collector office together.
Your idea is good.
Who will be the carrier of the infection?
- He is the one. - Him?
Yes, so that the villagers don't suspect us.
Becaue he's always drunk and roams around with blood shot eyes.
Where do we get him infected?
From someone who is close to us only!
I will look good with the spectacles. Give me one.
Choose between glasses or liquor in a glass bottle?
I'll choose the liquor in the glass bottle.
Sir, stop. What brings you here ?
Where are those who are infected with Madras Eye?
They will be in their respective houses
In their house ?
We need to check if he is infected with Madras Eye.
Get medicine from that camp and get away.
Oh my god.
(Punching heavily)
(groans in pain)
What happened?
Sir, he swallowed pesticide.
Didn't you just say that he had Madras eye?
- He got scared and consumed pesticide. - Alright, take him in.
Why did you do this?
- What happened? - He swallowed pesticide.
- Make him sit down. - Please sit
Hurry up.
Please be careful.
Good Lord, I wonder why he did this?
He left long back. Quit acting.
There will be people inside with infected eye.
Bring me someone with bloodshot eyes.
Go!
How much did you drink?
I had one full bottle at 8 am itself.
Oh God! It's two hours already.
Enema won't work now
Kathir ! Bring me Kangeyam's mix!
(exhausted)
Where were you?
His stomach has been cleaned.
You shall find the medicine for Madras Eye from the pharmacy over there.
Ramasamy! What harm did I do to you?
They said, cleaning the stomach before drinking imported alcohol...
will get you super high. That's why I did this.
Buddy, they gave me Kangeyam's excretion.
Get me extra ten bottles of alcohol.
Don't worry, cow dung's extraction is good for your health.
Oh No!
Kangeyam is not a cow.
It's the name of the compounder working here in this hospital
Oh no !
God!
It stinks so much now.
Sir...
(stinks)
He's the spitting image of someone with Madras eye infection.
Brother ! Brother !
Are you infected with Madras eye?
I have 'kan porai' (cataract) Why do you ask?
Show your eyes to a dog; it'll nibble away your 'porai' (biscuit).
- Get lost. - Sir, he looks like a thief
Sir ! Sir !
- What are you doing here? - I took some pesticide!
- Cleaned stomach! Vomited ! - Pesticide?
-Take him. - Please leave me,Sir.
(Dr.S.Kayalvizhi)
Oh My God! Is this her room?
Madam!
Major Chandrakanth is on his way to meet you.
- Is it him? - Yes.
Okay.
You know I am about to get down, why didn't you turn off the engine?
- I have turned it off now, major. - No explanation.
What if the vehicle raced forward and reached race course,
after you release the clutch? Many lives would have been lost.
- Sorry, major. - Don't apologize.
20 rounds. Around the campus.
Idiot.
Stand like this for two days.
Why is it stinking so much?
Is it Pasu's (cow) excretion?
No, It's Pasupathi's (Human) excretion.
I feel irritation on both my eyes since morning.
So, I came to get it tested.
Major, had you called me, I would have come in person.
No, doctor. As an Indian citizen...
I don't want to waste the Doctor's time for my convenience.
There is a chance that someone might lose their life during that time.
Sir, I am an ophthalmologist.
There are no patients in this ward whose life is in jeopardy.
Don't you dare talk to me like this!
I'm sorry.
Sorry I'am !!
Please remove your glasses.
This is clearly the case of a Madras Eye.
Yes, Conjunctivitis.
I sensed it.
Even when everyone in the camp got infected, I was so careful.
I hope there are no body else affected.
No, sir. You are the last person.
There were no infected patients for the last one week.
I end up as the last one to be infected. I was the last one to leave the war too.
Why is India missing from this globe?
Sir, that's a paper weight!
I was just kidding. I am thinking about Bharat all the time,
so I got blanked out.
Chandrakanth!
You enjoyed my humour?
By the By, thank you so much!
"India is my home,Bharatham is my name" (singing a Tamil song)
Why didn't you switch on the engine, when you know I'm about to get in the vehicle?
Major, I did it now.
I don't need any explanation.
When I'm out somewhere,what if the key gets locked and blocks the engine?
How would I escape from the missiles of the enemies?
- Major, won't you be fighting then? - Shut up
20 rounds.
Not like this, but like this.
Go!
Stop. You are not allowed inside. Go back.
Dear, will I get the alcohol?
Hey, Kangeyam, please be quiet.
Okay, Pasupathi.
Aren't you ashamed to call those as nick names? Follow me quietly.
How do we enter a highly secured place?
-Security? -yes.
Look how pathetic they are.
63 (Counting the reps)
64 (Counting the reps)
65 (Counting the reps)
66 (Counting the reps)
Hey !(venting out)
Saala (venting out)
Chandrakanth!
(humming to a song)
- Dear, when will I get the alcohol? - Stay quiet. It's inside.
Inside?
Oh God. He is about to go inside.
(calling bell rings)
Can't you stay put? You quick-witted fellow.
Bloody bugger.
(humming a song)
(calling bell rings)
Major.
(calling bell rings)
I am done with 50 rounds.
Can I leave, major?
No.
Why major?
The Kazakhstan border got squeezed under my tight grip for three years.
You thought I could be fooled?
From now on, you are the calling bell for this house.
You must be at the entrance 24/7 and when somebody visits,
you say 'ding dong.'
- Let me see. - 'ding dong'
- 'ding dong'
Come inside and remove the calling bell.
Guys, follow me.
[Drawer sliding open]
Hey!
Major...
What is that?
Major, I am looking for tools to remove the bell.
Won't you check for noise before opening the drawer?
Major, only after opening I will get to know if it squeaks.
What?
How dare you you rise your voice against me? Fool.
- Lubricate the drawer with grease - Major, I'll do it tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
Do you know the importance of the grease?
You don't know.
During the Vietnam War, a tanker got stuck and exploded because it wasn't greased.
Do you know where the first Olympics took place?
It happened in the 'Greece' which you said you will do it tomorrow.
By the By.
The great cricketer Don Bradman...
was just an inch away from the crease when he got stumped.
So grease it now.
Okay, major.
Silence. He is coming.
What kind of a gun is that?
Shameless guy.
Why is he not wearing underwear?
Why did you check that?
Spies!
British.
France.
Portuguese.
Did you hear that? It's all imported liquor.
Stay calm. You will get your liquor.
Let me at least take what's left over in the glass.
Bloody terrorists!
Didn't it seem like he was speaking to us?
No, he is speaking with to someone else.
Fully loaded.
I am waiting.
With whom is he still talking?
I am talking to the one you are talking to..
I am the one you are talking to .
That is me.
Me is that .
Is me that .
I can continue speaking in several permutations like this.
Buddy, the mosquitoes here are a menace...
Why doesn't he sleep?
"Sleep"
During World War II..
at the Baluchistan border..
I was standing alone.
250 enemies came charging towards me..
I was standing.
They approach me.
I was standing.
They approach me.
I was standing still.
They crossed my position.
Why?
Because I slept.
They walked past me.
They thought I was a statue.
Sleep is very important.
But today?
(snoring)
The mosquitoes are giving me hell.
But today?
(snoring)
(exercising in anger)
Sir...
Don't be scared.
You were sleeping peacefully.
What kind of liquor did you have?
Here, it's these liquors.
Why are you stopping me?
He is offering you so much of liquor.
- How do you plan to thank him? - Tell me what to do.
Thank him in a way that matches his status.
What is that?
Get close to his eyes and
rub your eyes against his.
- That's how they do it. - How long should I rub?
One minute per bottle. So count the bottles and do the math.
Just wait and watch.
Sir, thank you so much.
(Major Chandrakanth groans in pain )
Come on, let's go.
From now on, you better keep apart.
- Why dear? - What if I accidentally break the bottle?
- Alright, you do the same too. - You are so brilliant.
Here, take these glasses.
How do I look?
Great!
You appear to be as fierce as a Kangeyam (raging bull).
Pasupathi !
Start the vehicle, we're heading to Vadakupatti.
Why are you all so shocked?
It's okay.
It's a matter of gang war. That's all.
(howling)
By the by.
If you don't untie me..
I might have to launch a nuclear attack on you.
(mimics explosion)
What happened to him?
He was uttering the names of three people while roaming the streets naked at night.
- What? - Yes, madam
Something he saw really scared him and disturbed him mentally.
Okay guys.
Fun time is over.
I was just kidding.
Can you please untie me ?
Sorry, sir.
It's not possible.
Oh my God. It's burning.
I am the messenger of Goddess Kannatthaa in this era.
But you ruined my eyes.
How do I regain my vision?
When your vision was intact, you never noticed anything good.
All you did with your eyes were looking at liquor and ogling at women.
The Thandora guy is bringing in all the villagers.
God! Is he bringing the villagers here?
Looks like you almost lost your vision. Relax, he is alone.
I heard you wanted to meet me.
What took you so long?
The opposite wind was incredibly strong.
From now on, I decide what's news for this village.
- Destroy the radios in the village. - Sure,I'll do it.
-Murugesa! -Take this.
Bribe the newspaper guy and ask him not to visit this village for few days.
-Sure. I'll do it. -Murugesa!
If anyone inquires, convince them that there is a newspaper strike for 10 days.
- Murugesa! - Hey.
Come back if the money is insufficient.
The breeze is favorable for you to leave. Go on.
- See you. - Leave
Everything is done. What's next?
Where will be our Munusamy brother?
Welcome Ramasamy and Murugesa.
I spoke bad about you without realizing your power.
- Please forgive me - That's Okay.
How did you find out it was us?
The Goddess made my human eye go blind...
but she opened my third eye.
I began perceiving the world through my ears.
..and the world started to open up for me
That's so cooked up.
I told him about you.
Hey...
I hope you eat food like everybody else? (sarcastic)
Why do you ask that?
How do you manage your daily expenses?
In this polluted world we must not rely on money.
we must count on the blessings of God.
We thought of giving you one rupee every day.
Really?
One rupee?
Tell me what you want me to do, even if it's absurd. I'll do it perfectly.
(He got so cheap all of a sudden!)
(chanting gibberish)
Hey! what is happening here?
I am doing the Ashtagona ritual from the 6th page of the Atharva Veda
It's sure to bring benefits.
Pundit, Entered the wrong house.
-Is it my wife? -She entered the wrong house long time ago?
- I meant this ritual. - Hey!
What are you folks doing in my house?
Instead of doing this ritual at your opponent's house...
This fool is doing it at the opponent's opposite house.
Why does he want to conduct this ritual at his house?
It's not a big deal.
He wanted to become the permanent president of this village...
so he asked me to perform this ritual.
We came to the wrong house so we are leaving now.
Pandit, why are you leaving the ritual unfinished?
No, I got the money from him. I better leave now.
-Close the door. -Yes, sir
Rub this blessed cloth on your eyes.
You will soon become the president
Mother Goddess, please protect me like you protect the eyes.
Get in...
Pandit.
I need you to perform a bigger ritual than the one you did in that house.
Otherwise, I will perform your funeral rites.
I have a specific ritual in mind,
but you need to be open to it.
To become the president of this village, I am ready for any ritual.
(chanting gibberish)
Pandit...
What on earth is this?
- Komiyam (cow's urine) - Whose ?
It belongs to Kangeyam.
Kangeyam?
(Referring to himself as Kangeyam)
I see.
You wanted to be the president. Why is he here?
After my passing, he will become the next president.
- That's why. - I won't be alive by then.
Ammu!
Take off your screens.
To hell with this sight...
What are you doing?
I am transferring you the power of the ritual through my eyes.
Is it done?
You will be the president of India. That's how much power I have vested in you.
Show me your cheeks.
If we are in trouble, (Ramasamy's mother's voice)
the God from the mountain will come down to watch over us
Oh, from that mountain? (young ramasamy's voice)
Yes, it will. Yes, it will watch over us.
Muthu Kutty!
Dad's eyes are hurting a lot. Come, take a look.
Munusamy says Mother Goddess had punished us by poking our eyes.
-She punished us? -Yes.
Oh God! She has punished me.
What about Mookkaiyan?
What on earth is this?
They say that Kannathal punished us by poking our eyes.
What happened?
Did your eyes also turn red like mine?
Yes.Sir,
- Do your eyes keep producing tears? - Yes, sir,
Do you wake up with sticky eyes making it hard to open them?
- Yes, sir. - Yes.
Then the game is over.
Oh God! The eyes are the only attraction of their face.
If Goddess takes away those eyes from their face.
Is that not such a disgrace?
Will the Goddess make them go blind?
Hey,stop it.
We won't let it happen, do we?
It will not happen.
Sir, as you always do, can you ask the Goddess for a way to prevent this?
..will ask her.
Mother Goddess!
Why did you punish these innocent souls?
For what reason did you punish them?
Please manifest in any form and reveal it to me.
Not in any form. (Goddess manifested Voice)
"I will manifest within you and deliver the message"
Wow! Fantastic.
He's giving an excellent performance for just one rupee.
We could have just given him 50 paise.
Mother Goddess! What just happened to our families?
You guys created a ruckus in my temple..
Won't I get angry when you shut it down?
- Indeed, you are correct. - I am so furious now.
I won't stop until I take away the eyesight of everyone from your family.
The Goddess is very clear about it. (Munusamy's voice)
Then we will open the temple soon.
To make Her feel better, let's conduct a kumbabishegam (special ceremony).
Is that right, Ramasamy?
Then we will open the temple soon.
To make Her feel better, let's conduct kumbabishegam.
Is that right, Ramasamy?
The temple can't be opened if you two alone decide it.
The collector has to give the order.
What if they lose their eyesight before that?
Murugesa!
As a temporary solution, Mother Goddess must have advised him, right?
This is the temporary solution.
But until the temple is opened and under any circumstances..
You should not remove these blessed glasses.
Not even when you're washing your face.
Kannatha !
Please save our eyesight
After the pooja, don't forget to paint the glasses black.
Alright, you don't forget to do it too.
Dad, can you see anything?
Why can't I see anything?
-Hey guys. -Sir
How is your eyesight, guys?
You go first, sir?
Oh! Are you respecting me?
It's suddenly so dark... I don't have a problem otherwise.
Dad, you can only see in black with those spectacles.
So, you are here.
I know that son,
But it's pitch black.
Guys, inquire about his eyesight.
I have not sinned...
My eyesight is perfect.
Lakshmi!
This spectacle suits you perfectly.
Am I right?
What I've come to tell the villagers is .. (mumbled speech)
Hey, you need not say anything...
we already know everything. Get lost.
What is all this?
Sir, they have all realized their mistakes.
Yes, sir.
They didn't change for the past three months.
What's with the sudden realization?
They created a ruckus in the temple premises
and were responsible for the closure of the temple.
They feel that the Goddess has punished them. So now they have sort peace.
Sir, ask them what was the Goddess's punishment?
Sir, this will agitate the Goddess.
It's a custom we practice confidentially.
Sir might ask you, 'What kind of custom do you practice so discreetly?
Kathiresan, that's their belief.
Let's not get involved in that.
All we need is peace and harmony inside the village.
That's all.
Fine. 'If they start fighting again...'
'shall we close the temple permanently?'
If my boss asks you this question,
Have you got an answer?
Hey! Stop it .
Did I ask you all these? Did I?
No.Sir,
Stay quiet.
Listen,
the temple is the reason for all the problems in your village.
What if you start fighting after reopening the temple?
We swear on Kannatha we will never fight again.
You?
We swear on Kannatha we will never fight again.
Fine. I will issue an order to open the temple next month.
- What...? Next month? - What...? Next month?
-We can't wait, sir -We can't wait, sir.
Yes, sir. The wrath of Goddess is so severe...
It's her wrath that brought us here.
If we don't conduct the special ceremony, in four days.
the village can not be saved at all.
Sir will ask you, 'Why are you confusing me?'
Sir will ask you, "Why do you interfere, when am here?"
What if sir asks you the same?
You are right. Get out.
- Sir... - I have been noticing you.
Why do you speak on my behalf? Why am I here?
Get out !
-Fine then. -Yes, sir.
I will issue an order to open the temple in four days
- Thank you sir. - Thank you sir.
Please hold on.
Until then..
If I come to know about any kind of disturbance in the town...
forget four days, the temple may remain closed for the next four years.
- Sir! - Sir!
Keep that in mind.
Hey!
Thasil!
We got four days.
There are only four days left.
You got to make sure they don't fight.
Shameless, did you eavesdrop?
Didn't they kick you out early?
Fine, come for the kumbabishegam.
Only then you will receive blessings from Mother Goddess.
Hey!
We must be the first to convey the good news to the villagers.
Start the vehicle.
Logu ! Start the vehicle...
(Engine revving loudly)
(Vehicle speeding away)
Hey, he has already left.
Why haven't you started? Get the vehicle running.
Hey who is that ?
Who is trying to enter my car and that too on my lap?
Hey!
Isn't this is our car?
Yes, sir. It's our car.
Hey. It's my car.
Oh! Is it your car?
Don't I have the right to sit in Mookaiyan's car?
Fine,You can sit.
Thank you.
- Alright then. - Okay. Alright.
Hey, who is it now?
There isn't much space for Mookaiyan and me in the car.
You better come in the bullock cart.
Hey, it's me, Mookaiyan.
(Hysteric laughter)
The festive mood has begun. The village is gearing up for celebration. Let's go.
Let's rock it.
Buddy, everything goes as per our plan.
Why do you look upset?
For our plan to succeed...
two things should not happen..
What's that?
First, no one should have the slightest doubt about Madras Eye.
-Madam, -what happened?
Major Chandrakanth has escaped.
Escaped?
Secondly, there should be no kind of trouble in the village.
Day and night are barely distinguishable after I started using these glasses.
It's so dark.
Hope there are no insects ..
Everybody, enjoy your drinks.
The temple will be opened in four days...
From the fifth day, my life will be so bright...
Added I shall take care of all your expenses, today.
Come on, everybody. Have your drinks.
Dhanrasu...
The villagers say that the girl doesn't like you at all.
Here you are handing over the invitations...
I know the girl didn't like me but that's in the past.
After the marriage, my grasp on her will be so tight.
If she gets agrees, I will take her to my bed.
Otherwise, I shall drown her in a well along with a stone.
He used to bluff like this ever since our school days.
Damn it.
-Brother -What?
One important matter.
It didn't rain, but why is it so damp?
Where is it?
That's Lakshmi .
No, buddy. That's not Lakshmi.
Look at her hips. That's Lakshmi, isn't it?
No. That's not our Lakshmi.
It's someone else.
Why don't you go and drink?
And all the drink they had right now...
ask them to pay for themselves, okay?
Go ! Go !
Then why are you even looking at that filth, brother?
Go man.
Ammu, let's escape through this river.
Hey!
You used to laugh at the scarecrow all the time.
So that was when you were dreaming about him, is it?
Are you in love?
That won't be a problem.
Citing this as the reason..
I will ask for an extra 400 grams of jewels as dowry.
What is your opinion?
Come. Let's go.
Damn girl ! Stop. Right there.
Sir, You both were enemies like a snake and hedgehog.
Now, seeing you both like puri and potato I am feeling very happy.
(laughing)
Alright, now...
Who among us is the puri?
Isn't that me?
It's not him, is it?
Then am I the potato?
Let me shove the gear rod into your mouth.
Hey,You..
Be careful.
These guys won't let us live in peace anymore.
There is an unused well.
Come, let's go there .
Ugh. Don't think like a fool.
What is your problem?
Isn't he your problem? Let go of my hand.
Let me bash him with a half brick.
Hey!
Murder is not the solution for anything..
- Suicide is the only solution. - Come
Hey. hey!
You dimwit !
What have you done?
Sir, they suddenly came across..
It just happened by mistake..
After crashing a pig, how can I continue to drive this vehicle?
Pig?
- Sir, It's your.. -Shhh !
Sir, let me check if the pig is worthy of meat.
Yes, please check it soon.
Meat?
It's pork.
Oh my God!
Ramasamy ! What happened? Shall I get down?
Shall I get down? What happened? Ramasamy!
All you imbeciles won't let me live peacefully!
"Ramasamy in this condition!"
Appu...
Are you okay?
Thank God.
At least, we got together in heaven.
Brother!
Did you come to heaven, while trying to save us?
Mookkaiya!
Can you see where we are?
I can see..
Can't you see?
I can see, why would I ask you then?
When you can see, why did you ask me?
I didn't see that I was asking the question...
Didn't you say, you can see.
Forget about it.
Murugesa, you take them home.
I will take Dhanraj and get him treated with the doctor at Chittoor.
-Okay Buddy. -Come.Let's go.
I will not come.
If you force me, I will fall into the puddle and kill myself.
How dare you speak like that?
Let me kill him with this trunk and frame it on elephant.
Murugesa, hold on.
Listen, trust me and go home now.
Once the temple is opened,
I will arrange for a fake tarot reading to get you two married.
Otherwise..
I'll report this fatso to the police for attempting to murder your fiancé.
You hit him with the car, didn't you?
You pulled him onto the road, didn't you?
You hit him with the car, didn't you?
You pulled him onto the road, didn't you?
-Shut up . -You get lost .
You hit him with the car, didn't you?
You deserve the slap,am I right?
Brother,
We trust you...
My marriage with Dhanrasu has been fixed right after the temple is opened.
Will you keep your promise?
I will definitely keep my word.
Murugesa, hide them in the car trunk without
their father's knowing and take them home.
No need for that, brother.
Their glasses are painted black. So they can't see anything
Let's go back in the same car.
Those fools will never figure it out
Alright then. Ramasamy, let's go.
(honks)
Murugesa, is everything fine?
All good.Sir,
Hurry up, I'm feeling sleepy.
I want to hear Lakshmi's anklet sounds.
"GOPAL SIDHA DOCTOR"
Air, Piles, Bile, Phlegm
Nothing to worry..
His hands and legs are paralyzed. That's all.
Thank God. He didn't die.
What's the recovery period?
That's indefinite.
May be a year.
May be a month.
May be even a week .
In five days, he is getting married.
Then you may push the girl into the same pit.
Hey !(shouting)
Too much of noise is not good for your brother.
Hey !(softly) Hey !(softly)
-Sshh ! -Hey !(softly)
Devaraj sir, make sure Mookaiyan doesn't learn about this.
If Dhanrasu gets cured in four days,
we need to ensure the marriage isn't bothered,right?That's why
Oh God...
I pleaded him to stop drinking.
He never listened.
Now look at the condition he has put himself in.
Mother, boss is not a goofball to slip when drunk?
He was chasing some random couple.
I suspect it's their doing.
Why are you confusing things now?
A mother knows about her son more than you.
Ramasamy! Stay quiet.
Search for the people as he described...
I want them beheaded by tomorrow.
Brother.
he didn't describe how they looked.
I don't know about that, I want them beheaded by tomorrow.
- Carry on. - Let's go.
Hey! Hey !
Buddy, somehow I managed to send them home.
I see nobody around. You may go.
I don't want to go.
Kill me right now.
You doofus...
We struggled a lot to save you, not to let you die.
Just hang on until the temple is opened.
After then?
and then you can hang on to her.
-leave now,fatso. -come,let's go.
Until the kumbabishegam is over, we need to watch them.
Because he is so desperate that he might elope anytime.
Not just that,
The drunkards got high at the toddy shop...
and refused to pay thus creating a ruckus.
- I am taking one more bottle. - Pay for the bottle upfront.
The shop is in our village. How dare you ask us to pay?
- We will break you and your shop - I dare you to touch me.
They didn't stop there.
Dhanraj's men were troubling the villagers in the name of inquiry.
Who pushed our brother into a ditch?
We don't know who you are so come forward and confess.
- Everyone will be beheaded if not. - Yes, we mean it
If I come to know about any kind of disturbance in the village...
forget four days, the temple may remain closed for the next four years.
Keep that in mind.
Ramasamy, do something.
What do you mean 'Do something' ?
Shall I go and beg everyone not to fight?
Even if you plead, they won't stop fighting.
Regardless of who fights whom it should not impact the opening of the temple.
How is that possible?
There is only one solution.
Mother Goddess should punish everyone's eyes in the village.
Only then these guys will stay put.
Didn't you say that Thashildar will find out if we spread the infection?
What do we do to stop the high waist-ed fellow from disrupting the plan?
Let's stop him from entering.
- What is all this? - It's the sacred rope.
No outsiders shall enter the village now.
Yesterday, Dhanrasu from your village got hurt...
I need to inquire the villagers.
- Move aside. - Whatever it is, stand there and talk.
None of you have the power to stop me.
Yes, we do.
"Restricted Area" "Entering to the village is prohibited"
The power to stop you..
vests with Goddess Kannatha!
Once the sacred rope is tied, the villagers shall not leave.
The custom sounds pretty new. That too for a closed temple.
The temple will be opened anyway, right?
Sir, this is our village and this is our temple.
We create the traditions, we establish the law.
Listen everyone!
For the next three days, villagers should not leave the village.
and no outsiders shall enter the village.
It has been declared...
by the entire village!
- Yes - Yes.
What if someone enters?
Sir, what if some divine wrath befalls us? Please don't trouble us and leave.
- Please leave from here. - Please leave
Hey, who is throwing stones?
Haven't you left yet?
"Three days for Kumbabishegam"
You said Ramasamy admitted your son here.
Do you suspect him about anything?
No, sir. My son got drunk and fell into the pit.
That's the truth.
How can you be sure?
As if you witnessed it...
I am telling you this based on what people witnessed.
Where are those people who witnessed it?
I haven't witnessed the witnesses since last night.
If you witness them, please inform us.
Even if you witness them in person, let me know as well!
We haven't witnessed them at all!
I don't care about that.
Hey, put that leaf on him.
He's an idiot.
Isn't this enough to file an FIR and enter the village?
Not possible, sir.
Why so?
Sir,
The victim's parents believe that he fell into the pit.
With this statement, against whom can I file an FIR, sir?
I can't do anything more than this.
Okay, you can go.
My God!
I got it !
I got it !!
By the by..
Major found Vadakkupatti!
Yes!
Hereby, I say, ladies and gentlemen...
to alleviate the agony of the goddess..
everyone stand in front of your house..
and clap your hands vigorously.
Only when that sound reaches the Goddess..
you shall be prevented from imminent punishment.
Is clapping hands the only option to create the sound?
Do you have anything in mind?
Find a way to raise the sound somehow.
But there must be sound.

Hear everybody, the market will be open for only two hours during the festive season.
So everybody, maintain a gap of two feet....
and move without bumping into anyone.
Before reopening of the temple, everyone wants to stuff everything in their homes.
Hey Fool ! Why so many eggs?
If I don't stock up now, there won't be any stock after a week.
Why can't you lay eggs by yourself?
Why do you ask them to maintain social distance?
Only if we mention "social distancing" they will crash into each other

"Two days to go for Kumbabishegam."
What happened?
Mother Goddess has punished all of us by poking our eyes.
She did?
We even clapped our hands...
Why is She angry with us?
What's the use if you clapped your hands?
Drunkards, gamblers, liquor makers, troublemakers life crashers,
food poisoners, murderers- they are all living on this earth, right?
In the eyes of the Goddess, not only the sinners..
but those who failed to question the sinners are guilty too.
Instead of confronting the guilty..
What's the use of clapping your hands?
That is why Mother Goddess taught you a lesson.
Sir, until the temple is opened..
In order to protect our eyes temporarily, can we have those blessed glasses?
-Murugesa! -Sir!
Get me that.
Sir ! Sir !
All the villagers are wearing black glasses.
- The entire village? - Yes,Sir.
The two leaders were seen wearing the glasses that day.
Upon inquiry, they said they were punished by Mother Goddess.
It seems like they are planning something else.
They visited Madras with the doctor from the village.
Sir, Kayalvizhi works as an eye doctor at Madras Special Hospital.
(Phone rings)
Hello, is doctor Kayalvizhi there?
No sir.
She left to her village yesterday citing an emergency.
I suspected in the very beginning that it could be Madras eye.
So please order for an immediate action.
In this situation we can't enter the village legally unless there's a problem.
The collector believes that if we force our way in it may become a religious issue.
I will make everybody understand that this is a Madras eye infection.
Madam, it's not that easy.
Then what else can we do?
Can you incite an issue within in the village?
Issue ?
Yes, madam.
With that issue,
I will legally obtain an order to keep the temple closed.
People will start to think how the infection cured when the temple is closed.
At that time, we can explain that it's a contagious infection and begin treatment.
No, sir.
My villagers will listen to me.
Just give me one day's time.
It's your call.
Alright, Madam.
If you need to convey any message..
reach me through this.
Here, please take it.
We don't have much time. Kumbabishegam is in two days.
Mother Goddess !!
(indistinct chatter)
Hey, lazy-heads!
No matter what you discuss...
The sacred rope is tied, we can't allow performers to enter the village.
So, there will be no Dindugul Rita's dance show. She won't come!
It's our decision, right?
Let's tie a sacred rope to Rita and bring her in.
Yes, dude. I am full of energy.
People in your house are preparing for your funeral.
'Full of energy,' it seems. I will kick you! Sit down.
Please don't make me shout.
Buddy, Kayalvizhi has gathered the villagers to speak.
-When did she enter the village? - No idea.
Your Goddess isn't angry, She didn't poke your eyes.
What you have is a contagious infection.
And they call it "Madras Eye".
Here, if you use these eye drops,
The irritation will start to reduce in 10 minutes.
In two or three days, the infection will be cured.
- This is the truth, trust me. - Welcome Kayal...
When did you come to the village?
What are you holding?
Hello Sir!
He is the one who brought the infection from Madras and spread it to you all.
Hey, everyone!
What an atrocious accusation against me!
Informing them about Goddess punishing their eyes...
and even after citing the remedy ritual...
Why do you blame me?
Did you think the villagers are fools?
Oh, you're coming that way?
Fine,
One of you trust me and take these eye drops.
I will prove that he is a complete bogus.
Kayalvizhi,
Without respecting our Goddess...
if we use the eye drops you give..
Goddess will be enraged.
She may even take our eyes out completely
-Oh my God! -Yes!
It happened for our Munusamy right?
Yeah, you are right!
I feel that the girl might be right.
Then why don't you give it a try?
This old man is spoiling our plans.
Come here grandpa,
Haven't I told you not to mess with mother Goddess?
Shut up, will you?
Dear, I don't believe in God.
I will come forward.
Sir,
Oh!
Yeah, I get it.
Dear, I don't believe in God.
How can I believe this then?
- Believe what? - Yes, that one.
Which one ?
Dear!
He said "it's yours, mine, and nothing like that"
but still, when we see that it bothers us.
What are you blabbering?
Kayal!
We have heard that His disciples Anthony and Thomas..
have visited Vadakkupatti.
Along with our Murugesan's grandpa they had wine in his vineyard.
- and headed to St. Thomas Mount. - Yeah!
We don't have any difference of opinion. We remain as friends till date.
But how can we do all this after the sacred rope?
- Yes, you are right. - Yes, you are right.
Are you a fool? What are you saying?
Dear,He is talking so sensibly, why are you scolding him?
Whatever you say, we will not change
Hey! come on. Let's go!
Yes. Please move on.
- Please stop. Why do you all leave? - Everyone keep moving!
Please listen to me everyone !
(You've all had family planning operations. Be careful.)
Oh, is that him?
I'm feeling ashamed,brother.
It's because of Kannatha, your daughter became a doctor.
Yet, when she speaks ill about Kannatha you bow your head down.
Dad, what in the world is happening here?
Hey, shut your mouth.
Are you trying to convert us by introducing the Cross?
-Cross? -Then?
What's that ?
Dad, that's a red cross.
You are saying that in English.
I can clearly see the cross.
Don't we know what is this?
Dad,it's not that!
Please get back home.
That's really a good try, doctor.
Even I got panicked for a minute.
For your personal gains I didn't expect you to go to this extent!
Even I didn't expect you would come this far and tarnish your reputation.
Don't enjoy too much.
All your secrets will definitely come out for sure.
Who will bring them out?
Dear, tell me who pushed you into the pit?
Muthu !(Gibberish)
Muthu (Gibberish)
uppu? (salt)
Why is he speaking differently? I couldn't understand a word.
That will be the case for a few days.
Will he talk properly after few days?
No, you will start understanding him.
It won't be good to face my brother like this.
Hey,you!
what's wrong with us? We are doing good, right?
Am I right, son?
(Gibberish)
- Is that your name? - No, it's something else.
(Gibberish)
He wants an elephant and a chicken.
Guys, get him an elephant and a chicken.
Why do you need that right now?
(Gibberish)
He is asking for an egg and a chicken.
In-law, I heard that so much has happened.
You didn't inform me at all.
The doctor said he'll recover in a while,right?
What if he doesn't recover?
Even if he doesn't recover, my son will be the son-in-law of this house.
Your husband gave his word.
The words are meant to be kept.
Feed those words to your son.
Shut up!
I was born to a reputed clan.
I was raised in a reputed family.
According to me, the promise is more important.
The day after the temple is reopened...
my daughter and your son will get married.
Make arrangements for the engagement.
"One day to go for the temple ceremony"
(crackers bursting)
Who let the funeral procession in? The In-laws could arrive any minute now.
Look properly, it's the son-in-law.
It's him.
Why is he being carried on a bier?
Is he coming on a bier?
Watch it.
It's clearly a bier. Can't you see?
Of course, I can see.
Then why did you ask?
He might have asked by mistake(chorus)
Isn't it, sir?
Yes, it is.
Greetings!
Proceed!
(village people lamenting)
-He left us at such a young age. -God has no mercy.
Oh,no!
I asked you to proceed with the engagement rituals.
-Get away. -Move away.
Brother, you aren't dead yet.
Didn’t you get anything better to carry the groom?
The doctor advised that his legs be kept extended at all times
So we designed this herbal palanquin.
Why didn't you carry him in a bench, then?
Won't he look like a dead body then?
Yeah! Don't you agree?
Please ask the bride to come.
♪Eyes unite, celebrating a newfound bond,
♪Reflecting on it, a profound joy beyond
Brother...
Watch this crowd...
You said someone resembling Lakshmi was hugging that day,right?
If you find her, point her to me.
She is the one who hugged!
- What did he say? - Didn't you understand?
If she hugs him, it will be heavenly!
So poetic.
Hey ! Dimwit ! I didn't mean that(Gibberish)
What did he say?
Haven't you got any liquor to drink?
Please proceed with the engagement rituals.
Will he be able to conceive a baby in her?
I ain't dead !Are you eyeing on my properties?(Gibberish)
I didn't ask for any of your properties.
Why to offer dowry?
Are you sure, you don't want dowry?
Yes, I want !(Gibberish)
No, I don't want.
Please take them away!
Except the plate of dates remove others.
-Oh Lord! -Come to us!
Here I come.
Welcome!
Really?
You didn't invite me in the past since we were more like enemies.
We are friends now, shouldn't you be inviting me?
Brother, do you really need a personal invite?
- Isn't this house more like yours? - Who is that ?
Can't you see me?
I am Senthamarai, Lakshmi's mother.
How will I not know Senthamarai (the flower) ?
It's a red flower like you,right?
Am I in your blindspot?
That's because... That was by mistake (chorus)
- Isn't it brother? - Yes,It is!
Hey! where is he?
Son !
Ammu Kutty!
What happened? Where is he?
- I am here. - Alright, got it.
- Where is the groom? - Sir,he is here!
Here?
Not there. Sir, the face is here.
Have I reached?
Bless you to live a great life blessed with 16 wealths.
His son is the one !(Gibberish)
My son did what?
It's your son who pushed me into the pit (unclear).
You start with 'my son'. What are you saying after that?
It's your son who pushed me into the pit (unclear)
If only I hadn't blessed you, I would have broken your jaws.
Say clearly, 'my son' did what?
Hold on.I will tell.
What did you say, dear?
It's his son who pushed me into the pit (unclear)
It's his son who pulled you to the movie. Isn't that it?
What movie is that?
(unclear speech)
It's "Deivamagan".
It's a very good movie! Isn't it dear?
Yes. Actor Sivaji rocked all the three roles. Isn't it dear?
(unclear speech)
Oh, you want us to exchange the plates?
Hey, the groom asks you to exchange the plates. Please do it.
-Oh Lord ! -Come to us! (chorus chanting)
Yes, we shall do it.
How dare you?
Despite me warning you, you went to Kamatchi's house with the eye drops.
-Dear, what is it? -Get out.
Being educated doesn't mean you know everything?
Alright, I will leave.
I tried bringing sense to people to people who are fools by nature.
That was my mistake.
Don't bother about us. Get out now.
-You... -Mr. Sandhana Kappu.
Move aside!
Sandhana Kaappu...
-Sir... -Hey!
What is all this?
Our brother is getting married day after tomorrow. We came to invite you.
Why do you bother a sick person by carrying him around?
I will invite myself to all the important people!(Gibberish)
What is he saying?
'I will invite myself to all the impotent people!'
That's what he means, isn't that right brother?
- Oh, Lord - Come to us...
The marriage doesn't even deserve an invitation card.
"The ceremony starts at dawn"
Thasildhar sir. Are you there?
Yes, I have been waiting for you.
As you suggested it is better if we incite a fight and close the temple
only then we can make them understand that this is just an eye infection.
If you listen to me, this shall be resolved easily.
Madam, please go on.
Kidnap Kalaiyan's son and Mookaiyan's daughter by tonight.
They will assume that the bride eloped with Kalaiyan's son
and start fighting.
But before we lose control of the situation...
lease bring in the force to stop them.
No one should be affected.
Sure, madam.
Between 10-12 pm, I'll make sure that Ramasamy doesn't step out.
This is our last resort.
Okay madam.
Let's do it.
Who will be the right person for this?
Who else do you think? It's him.
I thought about him too.
-Him? -Yes, it's him.
When I meant "him", I didn't mean "him".
When you said, 'It's him'. I thought you referred to "him".
How can he be "him"?
Here after, he can't become "him".
No way.
Sir, he got skills like "him" too.
Compared to "him", he is nothing.
Sir! Sir! Sir !
The 'him' you're talking about, he doesn't know 'him'.
But he can finish the work better than "him".
Tell me about the work.
I don't know, sir.
- He is not capable. - Why sir?
One who speaks highly of himself...
will not be fit for the work.
Sir!
Please let him speak...
Go on.
To bring him here..
we got no time.
So, you better believe him.
If anything goes wrong, I will set a fire.
-Sir, do you mean him? -I meant both of you.
Which is your village of these two?
The one over there.
What's on the other side of the mountain?
That's Thekkupatti. Nothing but forest.
Isn't there any other way to enter your village?
There is only way to enter the village,
And that is surrounded by guards.
And...
This looks deep.
Not at all.
The water will be on your knee-level.
It will be fun to get in. Go ahead.
You are coming with us.
Come on!
It's going to be fun. Come on.
What brings you here?
I need to talk to you.
I don't have time to speak.
What happened?
I realised all my mistakes.
Trust me.
You are the right person for this village.
What changed now?
There is no other way
My duty to guard both the houses ends today.
Oh God!
Didn't we ask you to stay at home?
Why did you come out now?
We have spread Madras eye to everybody. Why should I stay at home anymore?
We asked you to stay put so you don't speak about any of this to anybody.
Murugesa, I emptied all the alcohol that we brought from Madras.
-Please give me some. -I can't let you take it home.
Here, take some of this.
(Breathing heavy)
(coughing)
He said the water would only be knee-deep..
It was deep enough to submerge three people at once.
Where are the others?
Three of them got swept away.
Two of them were shocked to see that and got drowned.
Bloody hell! Where is that P.A?
He was the first one to get caught in the swirl.
-Is it? -Yes.
After we are done with the job...
I will search for his corpse...
and I will kill him again!
Will we be taking the same route to go back?
Do you think we will return?
First, let's go through this way.
Halt!
You are in green zone.
Looks like it's someone from the village.
Finish him off without making a noise.
Don't be scared.
By the by, I am not a native of this village.
But I am on a mission to kill three of them from this village.
Alright, come with us. We are in need of man power too.
I can't do that.
It's dangerous!!
Vodka!!
Alright, let's go...
Where are you headed?
You ought to stand with me.
-Why? -Because...
I have buried several handmade landmines in this place.
It can be fatal!
Hey!
If someone see us talking to him..
We will also be labelled as retarded.
Let's go!
You are about to enter the restricted area known as the red zone.
Hey, today is full-moon day. He is clearly high.
-Let's go. -One.
Load!
2
Lock!
3
BLAAAAAST !!
I warned you!
Idiot, you killed my team member?
Hey!!
One.
Repeat!
Only I know where the landmines are buried.
Sir, please show us where they are..
I can't come.
- Why? - Because
while burying the landmines,
By mistake...
I stepped on one myself
I am standing here for the last three days.
No food...
Any biscuits?
(venting out)
-Hello sir... -Hey!
(shouting in pain)
(mimics explosion)
Why this unnecessary talk?
I am leaving now. I need to make sure no problems arise.
- That's what I mean... - What?
It's...
Actually...
I am seeing this village needs you.
- Listen to me. I got to go... - I am sorry dear.
Did you forgive me?
Sir,
Having buried the landmines there. How did you end up here?
Good question.
One small geographical mistake...
When planting the landmines...
instead of starting from here and going inwards...
I went the other way around...
I got locked. You dig it.
(shock)
What?
I finished digging...
Don't you see a small knob?
- No. - No?
Hey, it's not a landmine.
It's a rock.
A rock?
By the by, thank you.
Who is he?
He was standing on the stone for three days.Jobless Jack !
Sir ! Sir !
Can you check and tell me if I landed on a rock too?
Don't worry, it's a landmine. Base will blast.
(howling)
Listen, you are a girl.
It's not good for you to be here with me at this time.
Can you see that only now?
I can see it all. Please leave now.
Hey!
Do you know that I am in love with you since childhood.
Oh God...
Kabadi... Kabadi...
- Kabadi? - Kabadi
Kabadi... Kabadi...
Sir,one minute..
Sir, to kill someone from the village...
why do you have to plant these many landmines?
Brilliant question...
If I get caught while killing them...
I will bite their hands and start running towards here...
And when they come chasing me...
BLAAAAST !!
-Kabadi! -Brother, what is this?
- He bites their hands to escape... - I wonder why...
- Good news... - Please tell...
- We have crossed the red zone. - Great...
Next, we will meet in the streets of Siberia
Brother, he is mad.
Hey!
He is not just another mad person, he is mad person with no cure.
-Yes. -Come on.
Let's carry on with our work.
Murugesa...
This tastes like honey. Where did you buy ?
From the bee hive only!
You fool!
After the village had geared up for the rituals...
I went to Podiyur and bought five bottles...
Is it from Podiyur?
This liquor made Munusamy go blind.
Why are you scared?
That was in the past.
They used to mix a lot of chemicals in it. But things have changed now.
They use only llizard's tail and snake's skin.
Oh, dear!
Won't you guys do any good at all?
Even after tying the sacred rope, are you guys drinking on her premises?
You speak as if you are an honest person.
You were ready to cheat people along with us.
Yes, I did.
But did you assume I did it all for money?
I was hoping it would reopen the temple somehow.
- Stop - Who is that?
- Hey...
- Catch him.. - Who was it?
- Come on, run. - What is going on here?
- What's going on here? - How dare you escape?
Hey!
Isn't their house over there?
- Yes, brother. - Yes, brother.
Brother, isn't that them?
Yes, it's them.
Then why the hell are you still sitting here?
- Come on. - We are tired.
I said, come on.
Did you see that?
Buddy...
Can I get you jasmine and halwa?
- You better come here. - I am coming.
I got not time for Love! Call of Duty!
See you tomorrow night!
What happened ?
The fat guy escaped with the girl.
Escaped! Let's go.
Hey!
Hey you dimwits! Come here!
We searched everywhere.
Which way did that fatso go?
This way.
You both go and manage those fools. I will take care of them...
Ammu kutty!
Thank god!
Brother!
We have invited almost everyone.
Shall we go home now? tired already !
Be careful!
Stop...Stop...
Is that the dead body talking?
Sure. Let's invite him too.
Here, take this.
Come quick. He is as heavy as a corpse.
Our brother is getting married day after tomorrow.
You are invited.
Where are you heading to, that too with a sack?
What is he saying?
He is asking about your shaved head?
- I shaved at Palani temple - Arogara! (chanting)
What's that sack bag?
Brother, he is asking about this sack. Can't you understand ?
It's Vegetables
Show me the sack?
Show me your smile.
His smile is very good brother!
- Oh Lord. - Come to us.
It's Lakshmi...
Catch them. Catch them...
- Understood, 'Drop it' - Understood, 'Drop it'
Kick them.
Hey! Get up!
Come on. Let's go.
Guys !They are running! Hurry up!
Hey Muthu ! Lakshmi!
Listen to me...
Trumpet mouth! Is that you?
Why are you carrying your own funeral notice?
Hey there! Stop.
Come on.
Once the temple is opened tomorrow, I'll arrange your wedding.
Move aside you people!
Stop. Right there...
Don't run...
- Stop! right there! - Stop...
Let's escape through the river
He is running fast since the ground is inclined.
Don't leave him guys!
Hey don't go there!
The area is filled with landmines
Hey, this isn't North Korea; it's Vadakupatti
Hold on!
Look, it's pierced my back by half an inch.
I'm bleeding!
It's piles, idiot! Take some white pumpkin seeds and you'll feel better.
Please, listen to me. It's a bomb!
Dear,please listen to me.
Please stop.I'm too old for a chase.
Guys! Is this the route we took to come here?
Brother, that's a different route.
He really got shredded?
So, are there really landmines?
Hey!
- Send the telegram! - Okay, brother.
Lakshmi!
Don’t go!
Please come with me
Don't go with that half-baked idiot
Hey, go ahead!
Oh my god!
Are you going to step there?
Why?
No,you carry on!
He is confusing you.
You don't bother and move forward.
Okay, brother.
(Beep from the landmine)
Hey, send the telegram!
Okay, brother.
Vodka!
Lakshmi, don't move.
I'm coming...
Hey dude!
Not there...
Trust me.
Okay, don't do it.
Move aside.
Okay, brother.
(crackling sound)
Hey!
Send a telegram to the house!
Okay, brother.
(whistling a tune)
Someone hit me and took off. Another person is running after them.
-I am a bit lost here. -Statue!
Who is this?
I am searching for one with a top bun, and blood shot eyes...
Have you seen anyone like him?
I can't see.
What is it?
I can't take it anymore.
I see no fear in your eyes.
Which regiment do you belong to?
- I can't understand. - What don't you understand? You damn it.
Why do you burst crackers?
-Tell me -what should I tell you?
Where is this pandit?
He must be in one of those two large houses.
Good.
Very good.
By the by,
I will recommend you to my sniper team.
I like your sharp eyes.
Left, Right...
He said he doesn't see fear in my eyes. I don't see anything at all.
Some idiot has come from a foreign country!
Oh, no. Where has he gone?
Why is he turning fatherhood into a National Geographic documentary?
What the hell are these?
I can see it all now.
Morning, I asked you to accompany me to the restroom but you scolded me.
Afternoon, I offered you Kumkumam Biryani. But you declined!
Evening, I offered Neem milkshake, but you knocked it off.
Nothing is edible!
I got an incredible surprise for you...
which you can't refuse or knock it off.
Because it's your favorite...
Kara Kozhambu Coffee (chilli grounded coffee).
What the hell !!
You used to gulp down many glasses of this spicy coffee.
Why do you refuse now? Is it because of your mustache? Let's shave it off!
Go on dear, drink it. Gulp it down, my sweet heart.
Take a sip, dear. My sweetheart, take a sip.
Please don't throw up. Do it on my face, if you want to.
(Gun shot)
What happened to the maid?
What do these people want? Why do they shout late in the night?
Get up!
What is it?
I've been hearing only loud noises for a while now.
I want to hear some good sounds.
I know where you are headed with this.
Don't compound your sins.
I am sad because my daughter is about to leave me.
Bring her in with her anklets on.
-Really, right now? -Do it!
where is that pandit?
I'm sorry.I don't know.
-You don't know? -Yes.
Dear,
-Ammu, -Oh no.
Even after feeding you lot of milk,You look so weak!
You still think me as your son,right?
You are not my son?
It's been 3 days since your son passed away.Get lost
How dare you say that?
One more step, you will be on the land mine.
One more step and you can catch them.
I am scared.
Lakshmi!
-Give me your hand -No brother!
- Lakshmi, listen to me. - You betrayed my trust.
No one will trust you ever again.
Your temple will definitely be closed forever !
Collector Sir, what made you come here all of a sudden?
Collector? Yes, sir.
(explosion)
(howling)
Brother, take us with you.
Lakshmi, don't do that!
-Don't do that. -Brother, give me your hand.
Come on. Help her.
Oh! No!
Oh God!
Through whom will I send the telegram now?
Vodka!
Dear, please come over.
Step right next where they are standing and walk.
- There won't be any landmines. - Lakshmi, don't do it.
-He might get squashed like a jam. -Careful!
Listen. You could blow up.
- Hey! - Catch her!
-They are within your reach. Stop them. -Come on.
I dare him to move and stop them.
Can't you tell from his face?
He is the first to step on the landmine.
Both of his legs.
He kept on insisting to send telegrams,right?
Ask him, to whom does he want to send the telegram?
- To whose house, brother? - To whose house, brother?
It's to my house !
(Spitting to shame him)
Brother, how do we escape from this?
- From this? - Yes.
Why don't you use the wings attached to your ears and fly away?
He's come all the way from Kadappa to make fun.
Brother...
Do you have a beedi?
Vodka!
Spreaded Madras eye!! Painted my glasses !!
What else did you guys do?
I will ...
We are responsible only for the eye infection...
It's your son who painted the glasses to escape.
My son? No way.
Yes,
When you mention painting, I am reminded of Ravi varman's works.
When he went to whitewash a house.
Somebody please shut his mouth.
Yes, do it.
Hey! Where is my son?
I swear on Mother Goddess...
I dare you mention "Mother Goddess" once again...
I'll make you forget your mother.
Trust me,
Your son eloped with Lakshmi from the opposite house.
In the search ...
(classical music)
It's the sound of classical dance.
Who do you think is that?
Witness that for yourself.
I wonder where he learnt this? Oh my God!
Wow!
By the by,
He deserves one of the best dancers Award.
What do you say, dear?
I feel ashamed for trying to kill such a talented person.
I am sorry! I am sorry!
Who is that in my house ?
Hey fool!
Open your eyes and see for yourself.
How do you know?
I removed my glasses already.
Who are you?
I was acting like your daughter all this time.
My daughter? You?
The dance?
Item Dance !!
Are you okay?
Come!
Brother, it's the girl who influenced our boy to elope.
-Don't you dare blame our girl? -I dare you to do it.
Stop!
Sir, now everybody knows that this is the case of 'Madras Eye'.
That's enough for us.
Use the police force to send them to home.
-We can't let go of this. -We can't let go of this.
Sir...
Lakshmi,
You are 17, aren't you?
Hey!
How dare you elope with a minor girl?
Dear police,
The girl is 17...
But my son is just 16...
Really?
He looks like he has fathered 16 children all by himself. I can't believe he is 16?
How dare you insult my son? I dare you keep quiet.
(indistinct shouting)
Inspector Sir,
There is no way the temple ceremony shall happen tomorrow.
A riot might break out. Please send some police force.
Sir, what are you up to?
Didn't you promise that you shall prevent them from fighting?
Madam...
Your job here is done, isn't it?
What are you up to now?
Leave now.
Stop it !!
My house shall not be contaminated by his blood?
Let's have a face-off by the junction.
I will face you at the junction.
Bring it on.
Now,the whole village knew the truth,Ramasamy.
Our whole play is done.
This is what happens when you mess with God.
You better understand it.
Which is God?
This one?
That's a clay pot that a thief stole from my house many years ago.
That's according to you!
It doesn't mean that it is not a God!
Before I lost my eyes...
I have sculpted many statues for several temples.
As long as I had it, it was just a statue.
It becomes a God, once it enters the temple.
It will give us whatever we pray for.
It will grant us whatever we pray for.
Why should the God do it?
No one has a clue!
The science behind that...
we shall not comprehend that either.
Our ancestors didn't build huge temples for no reason?
We take a speck of Sandal paste and worship it as Lord Pillaiyar.
We apply turmeric and kumkum over a brick...
and worship that as Muneeswaran.
It's the same for our Mother Goddess too.
Going by your words, let it be just a pot.
So what?
It's a deity for those who believe.
Those who don't believe mock it.
There is nothing wrong with them.
When you exploit the believers for personal profit...
or opposing those beliefs and creating problems is a sin.
Not sure if you took care of this temple,
but this temple took good care of our village
The day they closed this temple,
it's been downhill for our village since then
Your decision to open the temple is right.
But instead of doing it for yourself...
do it for the welfare of the town.
In few minutes, those two will incite a riot.
Tahsildar will use it to close the temple.
We must prevent the riot somehow.
Preventing them from fighting is not enough.
We must make sure they never fight again.
How is that possible?
We need to unite the people...
They must completely believe in Mother Goddess.
If they start to believe,
they will stand against whoever tries to stop the reopening of the temple.
Do you believe in them?
Yes.
Do you know how pot from my house became a God for them?
Everybody witnessed the pot destroying an evil demon...
From then on they believed it's their God.
It's God indeed.
Fine. Let that be God.
People should start believing it once again.
People should witness the God destroying some evil force again.
According to the people,
I got frustrated because I got exposed.
Inform the people that I broke the locker, stole the Goddess's jewels and escaped.
Either you or us should be alive.
Stop it.
Ramasamy is running away after stealing all the jewels from the temple.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
I don't believe this.
Trust me. I saw that myself.
Half of it belongs to us.
Half of it belong to us.
Which way did he go?
- This way. - Come on. Let's go.
Come on. Let's go!
Pandit, you got to assemble them together...
That fool stole both the temple's jewels and the village's properties.
I knew he was bad...
but I didn't know he was filthy.
By joining hands with him I betrayed you.
Which way did he go?
He went this way.
Come on everybody!
Everyone will start chasing me.
The police who guards the village's border will know about this...
and they will lock the only exit to the village.
On seeing them,
I will turn back as though attempting to escape through the temple.
- Stop there. - You can't escape.
- And then... - Then?
The torch of the Mother Goddess will fall in front of my bike..
How can it fall on its own?
You are going to do it.
I will crash into it and fall down.
Once I fall down...
You must shout, "'Mother Goddess', thank you for stopping the thief."
Mother Goddess!
You caught the thief!
Your power is incomparable! Your power is incomparable
What about you?
More than me...
We must save the temple from Tahsildar. That's more important.
We got no time.
Let's go!
Munusamy brother...
Pray to your Goddess that everything should go well.
Let's see if she grants our wish...
Mother Goddess!
Who told you that the temple jewels were stolen?
It was Kayal, sir.
Kayal?
Go on.
Yes, sir...
There is a rumor that Ramasamy has stolen the jewels from the temple.
Something's not right.
Sir, I am guarding the border of the village.
He can't escape anywhere.
I will check the temple and get back to you.
Hey!!
God! It's him.
The whole village is after your partner. What are you up to?
What are you doing here?
Is this your plan?
If he falls down because of this fire torch...
the villagers will worship your Mother Goddess as God.
If he falls down because of me..
I will be the GOD for this village.
(temple bill rings)
(Lightning strikes)
(groaning in pain)
He is running away. Catch him!
He has escaped. Why do you stand still ?
- Go after him. - Stop it.
Let him get lost.
We got our jewels back.
I will make sure he doesn't come back.
What's wrong with them calling a mountain a god?
Did you see it properly?
It's god only.
All these don't seem believable.
I don't know about you, but for me, it is God since it caught and gave the thief.
♪Your image is the light of my life,
♪In moments of realization, my heart melts.
♪If seen as a statue, you're not visible,
♪Yet within the statue, you never fade away.
♪Your image is the light of my life,
♪In moments of realization, my heart melts
We got no clue if he is alive or dead.
why do you even think like that?
Mother Goddess would have led him safely to some shore.
THEKKUPATTI
Since the day, the Mother Goddess raised from the earth by herself!
We have been following Her ways ever since.
To witness the same...
He got washed up to our shore from the river.
Let's sacrifice him for the Mother Goddess!!
(crowd chanting)
The one who taught us these rituals..
Our demon..
Our Master of disguise..
will be doing this ritual as well!
(crowd chanting)
Stop it!!
Why?
The divine light is visible.
Yes!
Mannatha (The Goddess of the soil) is trying to say something!
Fools, it's not Mannatha.
That's Kannatha of our village.
Hey,who are you?
To bring back the protector god of our town,
I am Ramasamy, sent by the god himself
Hey! Ramasamy!
Major !!
How did you end up here?
By the by, It's a small geographical mistake!
I got trapped here!
Do you have a grenade?
No,I have a cyanide! Do you wanna die chewing it?
-Jai Barath -Hey!!
Are you the Ramasamy who denied the existence of God?
