NatureNow: Greta Thunberg and George Monbiot make short film on the climate crisis

Environmental activists Greta Thunberg and George Monbiot have helped produce a short film highlighting the need to protect, restore and use nature to tackle the climate crisis.

Living ecosystems like forests, mangroves, swamps and seabeds can pull enormous quantities of carbon from the air and store them safely, but natural climate solutions currently receive only 2% of the funding spent on cutting emissions.

The film’s director, Tom Mustill of Gripping Films, said: 'We tried to make the film have the tiniest environmental impact possible. We took trains to Sweden to interview Greta, charged our hybrid car at George’s house, used green energy to power the edit and recycled archive footage rather than shooting new.'

Oh! This is my dress.

Where is your Assistant Palavesham.

Excuse me, I have to
place the mike.

Sir, I haven't come here
for singing.

Then, what is this mike for?
- Good question.

Even for dancing,
a mike has to be set up.

That is the usual practice

Please co-operate. - Yeah.

Have you seen the place
where the mike has been placed?

Madam, say something or the other.

What should I say?

Say, "I Love you"

Hey! Palvesham

Why have you come today?

I had trapped a beautiful girl.

You spoiled everything.

Hey today you tell me for sure.

Are you going to marry
my daughter or not?

I have to fix the date.
- You are like noodles.

How can I marry a
noodle's daughter?

Oh! You won't marry my

Go go, get lost.

Then, I'll reveal your weak point.

Hey, go...

you are calling me a swine.

I am sparing you
because of this old man.

Otherwise, I would've cut you
in pieces. Rascal.

Are you laughing?

Everyone will laugh
if someone tickles the waist.

But, god has given
me this weakness.

Because of that,
you're getting me beaten.

I swear! I won't marry your daughter.

I swear on my mother Peechaatha.

Hey!

Stop the vehicle.

I don't want to sit inside,
I would rather sit on the top.

Don't you want to look at us?

Aren't you interested
to fall in love?

No... No...

Don't you want to look at us?

Aren't you interested
to fall in love?

No... no.

You just utter a word...
and present a rose...

No... No.

Why're you getting scared?
What hinders you?

Why can't you express
everything in a letter?

No... No.

Don't you want to look at us?

Aren't you interested
to fall in love?

On the seashore, at 12.00,
shall we meet?

Shall we both sip a cool drink
with 2 straws, till evening?

No... No.

You smear ice-cream
on my dress by mistake,

you touch me, when you wipe it.

You take me to the
temple on Friday.

You take me to Disco

You please take me...

Don't you want to look at us?

Aren't you interested

Why are we born with opposite sexes?

Because, to become
'Made for each other'.

Come near me.

No... no.

What has happened to you guys?

Do you hate women?

Are you on oldy at young age?

Are you last robot?

Are you not getting desires?

Are you plants, having moustache?

Were you born before Christ?

Men after falling in love
are left only with beards.

You women shine in education
and we men, became fools.

We'll lose our lives,
if our love succeeds.

If we succeed in our lives.

You women will come
in search of us.

Don't you want to look at us?

We are not interested
to fall in love.

Aren't you interested
to fall in love?

I don't want to love.
I don't want to lose.

Hey, get lost man.
Good bye man.

Okay.

Hello Father!

Pugal! Come inside.

Father, what's special for today?

This is the one.

What is this father?
You've made me a Politician.

Just for fun
I sketched you as a C.M.

What? Why suddenly?

Regarding your marriage - I've shown
your horoscope to the Astrologer.

He was surprised.
Your horoscope depicts very good fortune.

Horoscopes like this
will be seen once in years.

Earlier Statesmen Rajaji
had a horoscope like this.

Hey! You are going to become a
big Politician.

Father, If I get the Executive
Producer Post in B.B. C or C.N.N.,

Or If I get a Gold Medal in Olympics
I would feel more happy.

Politics...

Father, it's like a drainage.

Come fast, come fast
- It's running, running.

Where? What happened?

Look, look
Titles are going on.

Our son's title is going to come.

Look, look, make a call
to the bride's house.

Rascals! These people won't hold
the titles even for a minute.

Fools, it has gone.

You started shouting after
seeing your Son's title!

I got frightened. I thought you
saw a snake or a scorpion.

Hey you should give
'paise' to me. - Yes.

Mother why are you staining my
hand with henna? I am not a child.

You are my only son.

Whatever your age may be,
You will always be a child for us.

See the girl's photo.

Look at this, She looks
like Pepsi Uma, - Yes.

Look at that, doesn't she
look like Renuka?

I had shown your photo to them.

They said, You look like a Superman.

The T. V has become your obsession.

Do you like the girl?

She is nice, but something
is missing in her.

What's missing?

Mother when you see a girl, she
should create ripples in the heart.

If you look at a heroine
will she create ripples?

Hey! You are watching
the T. V too much.

The T. V devil won't leave you
- Keep quiet.

Don't trouble us in between like a joker
- Show your face.

Tell me, how should your
girl look like? I'll search.

Her hair should be like Clouds.

Eyes should be like
that of a fish.

Nose should be like
a Parrot's beak.

Lips should be like
a rosy fruit.

Neck should be like the Conch.

Legs should be like
a Plantain stem.

She should have a poetic
appearance like this.

Look, does she look like her?

Don't ask your father to
search for bride.

He will choose someone like her only.

He has drawn a picture
of a she devil.

At the time of marriage,
you also looked like this

Really? How did you look?

He looked like his cartoon.

Your are a lucky fellow.

No, they are telling lies.

Who is that?

Turn the camera on C. M

When were the street
lights activated?

Because of your visit, street lights were
activated two days back.

Are they giving power from
the educational institutions?

Have you passed I.A. S
Just to blame others?

Why are you giving
tension to C. M?

I don't want any excuse.
He is spoiling my name.

Sir, our Durairaj has
taken the E. B contract.

He has paid bribe also.

He is having more than 5000 caste votes.

That's why we didn't give
the connection... - Alright, alright

Now, you should provide

Hey Girl. We all kept quiet.

Hey Girll You are going to
get beatings from someone.

As if you have never lied.

How does this girl has so much guts?

What did I do?

I told the truth.
What is wrong with it?

Why is everyone blaming me?

C. M's car is going that way.

What your seeing here?

Pan the camera that side.

What did I do?

I told the truth. Was it wrong?

Yes.

Why are we going to Pooncholai?

To see a flower.
- Great!

Only I am going.

If anyone comes there,
you take care of him.

When pulses were sowed.

And when the cool
breeze... swayed,

I was crossing the river,
carrying gruel for my father.

I was going on the auspicious time.

I was getting married,
feeling shy...

Eagle was strolling
on the right side.

I saw the filled pot
and heard the bell sound.

Hey floristl Why're you worrying?

Cow is giving us milk.

Now what will happen?

Will God shower blessings
on this poor girl?

Who is that?

Who clapped the hands?

I am a doll of this field.

Hey, doll! What's this
new habit of clapping?

Did you say something?

I'll talk to those whom I like.

Whatever you want to say
say it from there only.

Who are you?
My name is N. Pugazhendhi.

Father's name is Narayanan.

I've finished B. Sc
Visual Communication.

My profession is Cameraman
for Q T.V.

My age...

I am not even year old.

After seeing you for
the first time.

It seems that
I've been born just now.

I like you

Without caring for the C. M.
You have told the truth.

I dislike persons.
Who disturb me at this time...

I forgot myself.

But, I didn't forget you.

From 1.6.99 my favourite
place is Pooncholai.

My recent achievement is,

In my camera,
I took your photo.

I want to know
your name urgently.

I will not tell my
name to a doll. - Then, tell it to me.

Madam, Madam

One minute, please.

Did you take my photo? - Yes.

Why are you asking?

I asked just like that.

Excuse me.

Oh maidenl You're looking
beautiful like a flower.

You talk sweetly.

Oh loverl You're resting on my eyes
and singing in my ears.

When you go away from me,
I lose my soul.

Hold this note book.

Hey, Stop it.

Get in...

Do you have sense?
Are you not educated?

You are getting in
at the signal. Get down.

Do you have sense?

Why didn't you stop
at the bus stop?

I will stop or I'll not stop.
Is it your father's bus?

Hey! Get down.

Our exam starts at 9 A.M.

If we miss this bus, we'll not be
able to write the exam.

That's why, we rushed into the bus.

You didn't stop, &
you're talking like a fool.

Now, are you going to
get down or not? - No.

Hey! Get down, get down.
- No, I'll not.

Driver attacked our man, catch him.

Stop the bus, stop the bus.
Students attacked me.

Stop the bus, stop the bus.

They are hitting me, hitting me.

They attacked bus driver.
Bus will not move, get down.

Stop, What's the problem?

Who is the bus driver.
Start the bus.

Because of you,
there is a traffic jam.

Do you know who I am?
- Driver.

I am ruling party's driver.
- May be.

Go & bring the camera. - Okay.

I'll start the bus only
when you arrest these students.

Hey, keep quiet.

This driver only
attacked our student.

We'll move only when he
seeks our pardon.

First park your bus on that side.

At peak hour you're parking the
bus in the middle of the road.

Let the traffic be cleared
then we'll argue...

First you remove the bus.
- The bus will not move.

Hello control room.

Near Teynampet signal
a bus has stopped.

There, whether the students
have hit the driver,

or the driver has hit the students,
it's a big question.

Traffic jam for 1 mile.
Just because of that bus.

Inform the Commissioner to
come to the spot immediately.

We'll find a solution.

Hey, driver is going that side.

Leader, Greetings.

While he was on duty,

Driver Murugesan's head is bleeding
because students had attacked him.

You phone & inform all employees
of City Transport immediately.

Stop all the buses in
and around Tamil Nadu.

Excuse me, is the auto free?

Yes.

Keep it on your head,
it will come, go man.

This is a too much.
- Buddy, this is too much.

Hey, come.

Excuse me, Will this bus
go to the temple? - You Swine.

Get in, it'll also go to heaven. - Okay.

Great! There is a traffic jam
bus will not move.

All are in tension
you are reading newspaper.

Cruel people! Why are
you creating problems?

My daughter is 32 yrs. Old & her
marriage has been fixed only now.

The bride & the auspicious
thread is here.

And groom's people will
be waiting for us.

The auspicious time
is going to pass away.

In such a situation,
you're stopping the buses.

Who will be responsible if my
daughter's life gets ruined.

Hey, get lost. - Cruel people.

Sir, I've got the last
chance for an interview.

If I don't get the job
I'll have to commit suicide.

Sir, I beg of you,
please start the bus.

Sir, my husband is almost on
the verge of dying.

I have to take him
to the hospital. - Madam, what can I do?

I can start the bus only
if the vehicles parked in the front move.

Oh god! What can I do?

Sir, the driver is not
prepared to negotiate.

Even the students are adamant.

Move, move... - Don't beat us
we are the reporters.

Hey, the problem is between a
student and the driver of that bus.

Why has the traffic of
the entire city been blocked?

Who is the driver of
this bus? Remove the bus.

I'll not.

Hey come here. You're
a driver, aren't you?

Yes sir. - Take the bus and
clear the road.

Hey, all of you move.

Start, let me also see!

You carry on. He'll get up.

If you kill me,
my caste people won't spare you?

The whole State of Tamil Nadu
will go up on flames.

Let me also see,
go over me.

Come on, do it.
Let me also see.

Hey, How has caste
come in between?

Alpha calling control.

Connect me to C.M. Urgently.

Hello leader, I'm Palasami speaking.

They have run over a bus on the
driver who belongs to our caste.

My blood is boiling.

Are we of no consequences?

We have to show them our worth.

Immediately call for a strike.

There should not be any movement
throughout the city.

Sir, the Commissioner is
on the line.

Tell me.

Sir, the situation
here has worsened.

On one side,
they say its the Ruling party.

And on the other caste problem.

It has become like a battle field.

You are the Home Minister.

If you permit us, we can
stop everything within minutes.

Hello, don't take any hasty decision.

In this problem, one driver is
from my party.

And another driver is belongs to the
Caste which made me win.

The Students support is also
important for me.

That's why if you do any
harm to anybody.

I'll be in problem.
It will harm me.

Damn it.

Only because of the fear of
losing their support,

such small letter pad parties
& such Caste leaders,

are holding the Government to ransom.

If we don't take any action, they'll
convert the city into a graveyard.

Atleast give order to use
tear gas and disperse the crowd.

Hey, if I listen to you
and issue Tear Gas order,

Public will not disperse.

My power will dissipate.

That's because the four legged
chair on which I am sitting,

all its four legs are not mine.

One leg is of the Alliance Party.

Second leg is of the Caste leader.

Third leg is of the Financier
who finances the whole show.

And the fourth one is of
the Party Members.

Even if we lose any one leg out of the four.
We'll be made to bite the dust.

We shouldn't end these problems.

We have to play Politics through these.

Mr. Commissioner,
no tear gas & arrest.

They'll shout for sometime and
cool down themselves.

Oh God! Check mate
- You girls are playing Chess.

Hey, why these two T. V's

One for my 1st. Wife & the
other for my second wife.

You scoundrel!
Robbing for your concubine?

Exam. Would have started.

My preparation has gone waste.

Sir, the situation has gone
beyond control.

Everywhere shops are being broken,
stoned, buses being damaged.

Public property is being
damaged to a large extent.

We can't control,
unless you give the shooting orders.

Hey, if I had to give the shooting orders,
I would have done that long back.

Do you know, how big a problem can
be created because of it.

Instead let glasses break.

I'll send that Caste Leader
and Education Minister.

Be patient, till then.

He is fit for nothing.
He can't take immediate decision.

Oh my Godl

Hey, look at this.

My Godl
- If he is left here like this he might die.

Is there any hospital near by?

There is one S. M Hospital,
which is 1 km. From here.

In the present scenario
traffic will not get cleared.

Alright, hold this.

Hello, what's your name?

Hello, Paremalakujalambal! - What!

I am calling you only.

Oh! I am not Paremalakujalambal.
- Okay. Abithakujalambal.

Oh! Not Abithakujalambal either.
- Alright! Kunthravali!

Hey! Don't tease me like this
- You're not telling your name,

then how can I call you? - You don't
have to call me by name.

Hey! Kunjaee!
- Oh God! It's horrible

Your name will be Kunjaee
till you tell me your name.

Go, go Thopla! - What! Thopla!

If I am Kunjaee
then you are Thopala.

All are telling lies.

Who is she?

Come and watch the bioscope.

In front of you all are telling lies.
Oh! It's me!

This is my present
for telling the truth.

There is no power for
light, isn't it? - Yes.

Did you like this? - It's not good.

Why? - You've caught me crying.
It's horrible.

You've seen the pictures.
Please tell me your name now.

It is there in the picture
see it. - Alright.

Thenmozhi can't you
keep your mouth shut.

Thenmozhi!

The joke is, that the student who was
the cause of the strike,

you all will be surprised
to know about that student.

Student, who was struggling
for his life,

our Q T. V cameraman.

Admitted him in the hospital
with great difficulty.

Kumar, how are you? - I am fine.

If you were late by few more minutes,

you would have lost more blood,

and then we wouldn't have been
able to save you.

Thank you, Doctor.

Don't thank me, Thank him.

Thank you. - All the credit goes to,
Our Q T. V Cameraman Mr. Pugazhendhi.

It's okay.

Oh! Thopala!

Hey! Why have you all gathered here?
- All have gathered for you.

Why are you shaking my hands?

What's special today?

Coverage of strike
which was done by you.

It has become very popular
in the Network.

They are repeatedly showing the
coverage on every channel.

Calls are coming continuously asking,
who is Pugal, Who is Pugal?

T.R. P rate has
reached peak level.

From today, you're not a Cameraman.

You're a Senior Reporter. Take this.
Thank you sir-Best of luck.

Madam, milk... milk...

Hey! Don't make noise,
getting tickled in the hips.

Name is Pugazhendhi,
shooting Cameraman.

Wow, so nice.

Hey! She is mine.
Go that side. - Okay.

Oh God! - Hello.

Hey! You stupid!

You took photos when
I am bathing,

and you will telecast them
and show them to the public.

Show me.

Show me all what you've taken.
- Wait. I'll show you

You thought I am a fool?
- Oh! It's not like that.

Alright, look at this.

Move.

Move man.

Oh! Do I look like this?

Why are you taking my photos?

That day, you didn't like
your crying photos,

that's why.

I want to show you,
your beauty

That's why I am taking
photo's since morning.

I thought of taking your photo's
the whole day,

in between, something bit my leg,

and I shouted,

you also shouted & the entire
program collapsed.

What's this?

Thorn.

Not thorn. It's a snake bite!

Snake bite, where?!

Oh! Snake has bitten you.

Oh! Snake!

What will I do now?

For Snake bite, in your village,
won't you suck it out?

Don't be silly.

You were clicking photo's without knowing
the snake has bitten you.

Your life is saved because
that is not a Poisonous snake.

If it was a poisonous snake...

For your happiness,
I can do anything.

Will you do anything for me? - No

Yes.

You will ask me, "will you do
anything for me?"

I'll say "Yes"

Then, you ask me to die.

But I will not die.

I want to live with you for ever.

In front of all the people,

without bothering about the
Chief Minister, you told the truth.

Similarly,

you tell me the truth now.

Tears of joy in my eyes...

Because of you,
I died several times.

Thenmozhi, Thank you very much.

I'll always be with you.

You should not cry.

My Thenmozhi should always be happy.

Smile.

Come on.

Otherwise I'll click your photo
when you are crying.

Smile.

Give a broad smile.

Oh! Your crying was better
than this.

Superl... Okl

Oh beautiful devill You're burning
like fire in my heart.

You're killing me by
your harsh words.

You're slashing my heart
with a sickle.

O beautiful devill You're burning
like fire in my heart.

You're slashing my heart
with a sickle.

Will the grass know how to cut?
O loverl I'm a grown up girl.

Can the fish swallow the crane?
Is it possible?

Like peanuts in the shell,
you're in my heart.

You're tormenting my soul
in a pleasent way.

O talking parrotl
O cuckool

O beautiful devill You're burning

soaked moon inside the stone?

Shall I make kohl
out of the night for her?

Shall I clap by keeping stars
on your cheeks?

I've lost my self.
I'm unable to sleep now.

Give your 'dhothi' to me to use it
as the pillow.

Is my sleep, a dream?
O speaking parrot.

O cuckool

O beautiful devill You're burning
like fire in my heart.

You're killing me by

O dearl Dance with your lover

O loverl Dance with your lover

Like a fragrant flowerl

Are you planning to disturb
the honey-comb?

Is love, a political party
to change often?

Can you do sit-ups by standing
upside down?

Are you ready to live
in my shadow?

If I was water, I would've flowed
from your forehead,

and gone straight to your heart
and stayed there. But I became useless.

O talking parrotl
O cuckool

O beautiful devill You're burning
like fire in my heart.

You're killing me by your
harsh words.

You're slashing my heart
with a sickle.

Will the grass know how to cut?
O flowerl I'm a grown up girl.

Can the fish swallow the crane?
Is it possible?

Like peanuts in the shell,
you're in my heart.

You're twining the rope by my soul.
In a pleasent way.

Why has your face become like this?

Thenmozhi, what happened?

Please tell me, what's happening here?

Will you tell me, "who are you to ask?"

I am the father of that girl.
- Oh! Father-in-law!

Not father-in-law, father.

You've given birth to a
beautiful girl.

For that, I've to congratulate you.
Congrats. - I am not in congress.

Hey, all of you come.

Sir, who are they? What happened?

Pasumaki. - Yes.

He is roaming with Thenmozhi
and teasing her.

You just order,
I'll break his limbs

How dare you roam with our girl?

Mr. Pasunaki
- I am not Pasunaki, I am Pasumaki.

Let you be anyone.

Cool down.

I don't want cool drinks.

You Swine!

Don't laugh. This is my weakness.

I am telling the truth,
why are you in tension?

Be quiet.

Look Father-in-law.
- Don't call me father-in-law.

I am in love with your daughter.
I want to marry her.

What's your opinion?

Just see, What's lacking in me?

I am not that bad looking, I am good.

I can sing, dance.

We'll sing a rap song.

Red colour... green colour
... yellow colour...

Sarees are of many colours
at affordable prices.

The colours are drawn from the rainbow.

Sarees are part of our life.

Sarees last for a long time.

Red colour... green colour... yellow colour...

I know Karate also.

Thank you.

Now he will break
the coconut with his hands.

Everyone clap loudly.

Why have you committed?

Since you've come here
you have to impress them.

I'll deal with you in the house.

He is going to break,
he is going to break.

Bravo!

Now, he is going to
break the iron-rod. - Youl

Not today, some other day.
- Now, tell me How am I?

Hey! Old lady! Did you like it?

You are an multifaced son-in-law.

You have impressed them.
- Who are you?

Don't you watch T. V?

I am looking after the field-work.

I've impressed the
entire state by my report.

What is your profession?

I am a reporter in Q T.V.
- Is it a Government job?

No, it's a Private job

I want a Government job

They won't give you at this age.

Don't be silly.

My son-in-law should be a
government servant.

Sir, though it's a private job,
I am earning Rs. 7,000 p. m.

I am getting all the benefits
like a government servant.

Not like Government I want
only a government servant.

How many private channels
have started.

And how many of them have closed down.
Do you know?

Even if you earn a pie it should be
from the government job.

Only in that house my daughter
will be comfortable.

Don't waste our time. Go away.

Come with the government job,
then we'll discuss.

Good morning sir.
- Sit down.

You weren't in
town on Saturday & Sunday?

How many times I had phoned you?

Where had you gone?
- We went to meet Kunjaee.

Hey! Keep quiet. He is joking.

It's Monday today, isn't it?
Why are you late?

I went to register my name for
marriage in the Employment exchange.

For marriage, you went to
employment exchange.

I just don't see any
connection between the two.

For a husband's job.

Please be serious.

Shall we talk about work.
- Go ahead.

You are going to interview
an important person.

Sir, Who is he? - C.M.

C. M!

Normally, Janardhanan will interview
political persons.

He has resigned & joined U T.V. Cheat.
Don't you know?

I didn't know.

This is a big opportunity for you.

Immediately after promotion
nobody will get such a chance.

I'm the Director of Photography...
- Yes of course.

Thank you. - Good luck.

- Thank you sir.
Why you're hands are trembling?

I am interviewing C.M.
For the first time.

May be, That's why I'm nervous.
- Don't be scared of C.M.

You talk with him like a neighbour.

It will look natural.

Greetings, okay.

Today our special guest is...

Greetings. Greetings.

Respected Chief Minister.

Greetings sir.

Greetings sir.

Greetings. - Please, sit down.

Excuse me.

Are you going to interview me?
- Yes sir.

What's your name? - Pugazhendhi.

Greetings.

A special guest that
I am going to interview today,

not only our country,

but the entire world,

doesn't need his introduction.

Greetings sir.

Greetings.

In every election, Public votes,

with the faith that the elected C. M
will do some good for them.

In the end they feel cheated
and disappointed.

This is happening in our
Government also.

Sir, what is the reason for that?

What are you saying?

In every house,
there is a Colour T.V.

In every village,
there is Dish Antennae.

In every street, there is
an S.T. D Booth & Internet.

All are going on Two wheelers.
In jewellery shops & Garment stores,

there is a big queue of buyers.

They are going to amusement parks
& expensive restaurants.

Not only that, they are
wearing slippers & watches.

The standard of living
of people has increased.

For the last 15 years,

is there any news of people dying
out of hunger & poverty?

As you say, no farmer is going
to a jewellery shop.

No labourer is going
to a restaurant.

People who are earning illegally
& taking bribes.

Are only leading such
luxurious lives.

Rich are becoming richer
& the poor, poorer.

They are still being squeezed
in buses and trains.

The people are still standing in queues
for Kerosene & Rice for hours.

They are sending the children to school
only for the nutritious noon meals.

Sir, our children are still
begging on the streets.

Some people always complain.

Brother! After I came to power
the literacy rate his gone up to 62.5o/o.

But sir, State of Kerala
has achieved 100o/o.

In industrial growth our state
has come from 7th place to 5th.

Sir, don't we have more respect for a
Gold medal winner than a Bronze.

People below the poverty line has
come down from 39o/o to 32o/o.

But, still in our villages, the average
income of a man is still Rs. 3 only.

Brother, you have to talk only when
you are well aware of the statistics.

Sir, just a minute.

Sir, this is a report from
World Economic Forum.

This is IMF report.

This is from Amnesty International.

And this is from human rights commission.

This is World Bank's report.

The Credit from World Bank has not
reached the people properly,

And your ministers have
gobbled up all the funds,

saying this they have cancelled
the next instalment also.

Brother! You don't know?

The World Bank people have almost
asked for the mortgage of our state.

Putting conditions.

What are those conditions?
Would you specify them?

That's not for you.
I'll tell it to the people.

The people are watching.
Please tell me.

Why did the World Bank stop the funds
which we should have got?

It's a 1000 pages report.

There are annexures.

Pay Rs. 15 and get a
copy from Secretariat.

And then read it leisurely and
explain it to the people.

Next question.

Sir, were you from an affluent family
before entering Politics?

No, I was from an ordinary
farmer's family.

Oh! What is your salary? - What?!

What is your salary?

After all deductions,
I get about Rs. 18,000.

Say that's! About
Rs. 2 Lakhs per year.

After addition and deductions
your total earning till now.

May not exceed 25 lakhs.

But, today you own properties
worth 800 Crores!

How did you acquire those properties?

Cat on a Hot tin roof.

This is a false accusation.

If you want to, you can file a
case against me in the court.

I'll come to the court and prove
myself to be innocent.

Case?!

In the past 10 yrs, pending cases
awaiting prosecution are 14 lakhs.

This delay has emboldened the
criminals to do more crimes.

I am not saying this...

This Human Rights Commission
report is saying.

Do you remember this?

I remember having seen it.

Your election manifesto!
Don't your remember it?

How can I forget it?
I was the one who wrote it.

Every promise,
I can remember by heart.

To form a castless society.

To maintain peace & law and order.

To protect women.

To distribute the basic commodities
at a reasonable price

Free education to all.

There was a spelling error there
I know it by heart.

Do you think all these have
been achieved?

Are you saying that
we haven't achieved them?

You are saying that you'll maintain
peace & law & order.

But, you are the man behind
the chaos in Law & Order.

You said you'll form a
caste less society.

But, you are the one who instigates
caste conflicts.

Brother.

Are you questioning me
with an intention only make me angry?

That's not my intention.

People should know the truth.

Please have a look!

Stop all the buses running
in Tamilnadu.

Will you go over me?

If you run over and kill me,
will my caste's people leave you?

Whole of Tamilnadu will burn.

A driver stops his bus on the road
and creates a traffic jam.

If asked, he says he is from
the ruling party.

The traffic police are unable
to take any action against him.

Another driver falls in front of the wheels
and threatens in the name of caste.

Police Commissioner is unable
to do his duty.

And when you were asked to
order action,

fear of losing that caste's support,

you remained silent
without taking any action.

Whole Tamil Nadu was burning.

You were not bothered about it.

Lot of people were affected,

but you were not bothered about it.

Loses were a staggering 300 crores
but that's not important for you.

Your sole aim was not to
lose your seat of power, isn't it?

To make this interview a sensation
and make a name out of it,

You shouldn't cast aspersions without
evidential support.

I have the evidence.

In this one driver
belongs to my party.

Another belongs to a Caste which was
instrumental in my election wins.

I need student's support also.

Whomsoever you lay your hands on
will lead to more trouble.

That will affect me.

They'll shout for sometime and disperse.

Heyl If I wanted, I would have given
the shooting orders long back.

Do you know how much more trouble
it would have created?

Don't bother about breaking up of
a few glass windows?

You just keep quiet.

Now, come out.

Aren't you more concerned more about your
seat than the welfare of the people?

Come on & tell me.

What happened? What's going on?

Aranganar has been
made speechless!

Hey! You come on reply to him.

He's blinking.
Very nicely cornered him.

Switch off.

I'll kill you.

Tell him, to switch off.

Hey! Is this the way to Interview?

Stop the camera. Stop the camera.

Hey! Baldie! I'll hit you
with my slippers.

Stop the programme.
I am warning you, stop it!

Are you still interviewing?
I'll kill you.

Hey Palavesham! Pan the camera
to the control room.

A person here is showing
his slippers.

I'll burn down the T. V station!

Cool down. - Oh God!
They're picturising even this.

Hey! Brainless!

If this had been the legislature,

we could have expunged the remarks
from the house records.

This is a live telecast, the whole of
Tamilnadu will be watching it.

Throw down the slippers.

Will I also be seen?

Why only you? You, with slippers
in your hand,

the dung in your slippers, everything
will be seen. You imbecile! Throw it down!

Unable to bear the stench!

Shit. He wants to become an M.P.

Brother! Will you please make way?

Sir, will you take the light?

Leader! Discontinue the
interview and get up.

That's all. Interview
is over, isn't it?

Greetings!

Sir! The interview is not yet over.

It's a live relay and
the people are watching.

You've not yet
answered my questions.

So please sit down.

You have dubbed it very nicely.

You have dubbed my voice with
someone who has the same tone,

and trying to mar my
reputation in public.

I don't have to reply to all this.

I had only videographed that strike.

How much bribe did you take from
the opposition party?

How much did you pay when
you were in opposition?

With a mike in hand and
a T. V station to boot.

Wearing a coat, you'll ask anything,
for that, do I have to answer it?

Answering them is your duty.

For that only, 6 Crores people
have elected you.

Do you know what does a
C. M's position mean?

Did you ever step the threshold
of the C. M's office?

Come and see.

How many people come to
meet me in a day?

So many petitions, solicitations...

thanks giving, crisis...

felicitations, agitations...

problems...

tensions...
he who sits there knows them.

Nothing can be decided on
the spur of the moment.

If a disturbance breaks out,

we'll have to foresee,

and take a decision, which will not
affect anyone in future.

I have done only that!

The problem that could have been
solved easily,

You wantonly made it to grow bigger
for your personal gains.

Now, don't give silly reasons.

I am saying that, if you put your finger
in the fire, It'll burn it.

You are not able to understand it.

You put your finger and see only
then you'll understand.

One day... For one day
you become the C.M.

Then you'll understand.

This is not the correct answer.
How can I sit in your seat?

It may be good for argument's sake,
but, is it possible?

It is possible. There is a provision
for it in the Constitutional law.

I can issue an ordinance
to that effect.

You see it for yourself for one day.

Me? You are joking.
- I am saying it seriously.

For one day you sit on my seat.

My seat is a bed of thorns and
a crown of thorns. You'll understand.

What can be done & what cannot
be done? You'll understand clearly,

how difficult is the C. M's position.

Go and explain it to the
people of this country.

Say "Yes", say "Yes".
Say "Yes"... say "Yes".

What's this? They are playing a
one day match with the C. M's seat.

Our C. M is talking silly since his
visit to the State of Bihar.

No sir, that's not my job.

Look, you are backing off
from the Challenge!

That's it. Never play
silly with a National leader.

When given a responsibility,
you'll back off but always question.

That's it!

When a person like you is given a
responsibility and challenged directly,

you are backing off.

What? Will you try it for a day?

It's a live relay,
people are watching.

Come on reply.

Shall we stop this interview?

Yes sir, if it's a possibility,
then I am ready.

One day, I'll be in your
position and see.

He got stuck as he challenges
the general body meeting.

Okay, let it be.

Let me atleast in my life work with
an educated C. M for a day.

Okay brother.

Victory to India.

Hey move... move.

Excellent.

Pugal! My dear friend.
Excellent job.

Silence... silence.

He has simply asked him to
become C. M for one day.

Please tell us, whether it is
admissible in law or not? - It is.

There is a precedence.

When the assembly is not in session,
we can do it by an ordinance.

Otherwise. - Say it.

Sometimes ago, in Bihar wasn't
a C. M appointed temporarily?

In Delhi, after the death of a leader,

Wasn't the son appointed
as the Prime Minister?

After the death of leaders
it's usually done like this.

When a C. M went for a bye-pass,
it had happened like this.

Once it has happened
in this State also.

To appoint a person as
a C. M for one day,

Does he have the authority or not?

In accordance to the discretionary
powers of the Chief Minister,

the fundamental rights are
enshrined in the constitution...

Hey! Don't talk in English.
Tell me? Is it possible or not?

It is possible. By using your
discretionary powers,

and notifying in the gazette
it can be done.

Leader, what's this?

Because it is possible,

should anybody be appointed
as the C. M for one day.

Poison can be drunk
but should it be drunk?

Why to take this risk?

You don't know,
this is a game of politics.

That day, when so many people
were watching the T.V.,

he said, I was giving
importance to caste vote.

That's why during the strike,

he cornered me saying that
I didn't take action on anyone.

What will you reply?
Can I accept the truth?

They will hit me with slippers.

Tomorrow I can't face the
Public for votes.

That's why I challenged him.

Suppose if he does
something on that day.

He can't do anything.

Before he comes to know the duties
of C.M. That one day will be over.

You see, he will go mad & run away.

Two birds in one shot.

Because one person has blamed,
this Araganathan has given up his post.

And this will enhance my image.

It is easy to blame others.

But doing something is difficult.
Public will understand this fact.

Leader, whatever you are saying
it may be true, agreed.

This is my resignation letter.

For appointing Mr. Pugazhendhi
as the C. M for one day,

this is the letter from
145 M.L. A's supporting him.

I, N. Pugazhendhi,
as by the law & constitution of India,

accept the post
of C. M of Tamil Nadu,

Under the law of Indian Secrets Act,

I accept to protect all Government
secrets that come to my knowledge.

I give my assurance.

Greetings viewers.

C.M. Of one day is taking charge,

In the history of Indian Politics,

This is the first time that such a
live telecast is being shown.

To telecast this,

the State is crowded with
all the National Channels.

So come on let's go.

Counsellor himself is coming
in a 'Contessa'car.

And the C. M is coming in a
Public transport.

I think, the country has
definitely progressed.

Please come.

Why are you disturbing him,
he has just arrived.

Till yesterday you were
an ordinary T. V reporter.

Even without your expectation
suddenly out of the blue, for one day,

you are sitting on the C. M's seat.
How are you feeling about it?

You'll have to excuse me.

I am not sitting here for
giving an interview.

I am thinking of doing something
creative and constructive.

Please co-operate with me. Okay...

Thank you so much for your love.

Listen to what I say.

I want to immediately see all the officials
from I.A. S & I.P. S departments.

Make the arrangement.

Make it fast please.
- Move...

Greetings to one & all.

Sir, he is Anand Krishnan I.A.S.

I am sorry.

I have no time for introductions.

Yeah please, coming to the point.

There are people responsible in
stunting the growth of this country.

One, those who aren't abiding by
their assigned duties

Two, those who become a hindrance,
while others perform their duties.

Three, those who're misusing
their authority.

Criminal to escape from his crime,

by threatening, by apple polishing,
by luring,

Or by giving the other a share of
his bribe, are washing away their sins

This starts from an ordinary peon.

I am sorry.

And reaches to the levels of I.A. S, I.P. S
Officers and also to the Ministers.

There is no one who punishes
them,

Nor there is any fear among them
of getting punished.

On such people, the complaints
that have been registered,

And the action on it, Which has
still not been taken,

all those files, within an hour's time
should be brought to my notice.

Make a phone call, send a Fax,
Telex, go by a taxi, or by a helicopter.

I don't mind. But one
hour... just one hour.

Within 1 hour, I need to get
the list of such people.

And if I don't get it, I've to add your
names to the list also, I mean it.

Excuse me sir, what are we going to do
with that list?

I am going to suspend all
those people.

Okay, the meeting is over you
may all go.

Great! He hit a sixer in the
very first ball itself!

Sir, what's this? You have also
come to the slums

Like others are you also going to give
rice, tooth powder, Sarees etc...

No. I believe that there
shouldn't be any slums in our country.

Our Politicians also think in
the same way. And they burn the slums.

Come here.

Government has allotted
a separate place for you.

And it has also built houses for you.

Even after that, why do you people
stay here?

Sir, there are 350 huts.

They've allotted only 2 houses.
What about the others?

Where would the rest of people go?

Who is the director responsible
for allocating these?

Here he is, come fast.

How many houses are allotted
for this slum? - The thing is...

Hello, reply promptly, houses!

This man says only few houses have been
allotted. What about the rest?

Gone with the wind.

Sir, half of the place allotted to them
has been taken over by the Politicians.

And in the rest of the place
houses were built.

Most of the houses are taken by the
members of ruling party,

and persons like him having
the authority.

This man must be having 20 flats.

Apart from that if they
allot the houses,

they let them out on rent & stay here.

Here he is, Ezhumalai.
Even he has been allotted a house,

but he has let it out on rent to
someone for Rs. 1000- Hey. - Shut up!

Inspite of knowing all this, why
haven't you still taken any action?

Sir, there is pressure from
the Ministerial level.

Sir, they are the ones who cast
their votes

Which educated person is
casting his vote?

They give lame excuses, sit in
the house and watch TV.

If they are driven away, will they
not lose their votes?

That's why they're totally ignored.

Okay, Where is the typewriter
which I had asked for?

You'll get it. Hey come fast.

What's your name?

Type his suspension order.
- Sir, What are you saying?

Sir don't do it, ask him to stop.

Ezhumalai, come here.

In which area you were allotted a house?

You come with me. - Okay sir.

In this slum, to all those people
who have been allotted houses,

get all those huts vacated and come
with everybody to Velachery. - Yes sir.

Sir...

You are suspended.
- Sir, please sir...

Ezhumalai, which is your house?

The first house on the ground floor.

Who's it?

Chief Minister...

Chief Minister...

Oh I see, come in,
do you want tea?

Hey, we don't want anything,
whose house is this?

It's my house
- What's your name?

My name is Ezhumalai.

If you are Ezhumalai,
then am I Bill Clinton?

Lmmediately, vacate this
house & hand it over to him

Sir, why should I vacate,
I have given money!

Look, this house has been
allotted to him.

According to the law,
your staying here is a crime.

We'll have to take action against you
if you don't vacate the house at once.

Then you'll be behind bars.
- Alright sir.

Sushma, take out everything
we'll go to Sowcarpet.

Immediately he remembers his place.

In the same way,
check all the other flats.

Sir, I've brought everybody.

Okay, you do one thing...

Ask those people to vacate who are
illegally staying here,

and make these people stay in their
respective houses allotted to them.

From now on they'll only stay here.

Hey, one day C.M. Long live.
When we go away from here,

and if you let it out on rent
& stay in the hut,

I'll rip you apart.

Are we really interested in
staying in those huts by choice?

Many of our family members
are jobless.

We survive on the rent
that we get from the house.

Sir, to eke our livelihood, if you
make any arrangements for a job,

Sir, god will definitely
bless you.

A request to the natives
of the State.

My holding the post of a
C. M for day is known to everybody

If I have to do something good,

I need your co-operation.

What you all have to do is,

on this one day
Whatever commodity you buy,

whether a match box or a car,

whether Gold or a Diamond,

a hair pin or an aeroplane,

anything you buy, buy only
after paying the tax.

If the shop-keeper doesn't make
the bill ask him to make it.

This tax goes to the Govt.

You must know how much money
is collected in a day.

If you buy goods at less than
the actual price without bill,

the tax which should be utilized
for public welfare,

goes to the sellers as black money.

So, I request everybody
to pay the tax.

If anyone refuses to give the bill,

lodge a complaint at the
nearby Police Station.

Rs. 350. - Hey, make the
bill & give. - Oh shit.

This applies to the business men.

If anyone of you do business without
making a bill,

Your licence will be cancelled.

Make sure such contingency
doesn't arise.

Besides if you pay your
earlier dues today itself,

I'll cancel all the charges against
you in sales tax evasion cases.

Hey, what is the sales tax amount
that we've to pay leagally for a day

40 Lakhs.
- How much are we paying?

Only 4 Lakhs
- That is what he is asking for.

Pay it otherwise he'll cancel
our licence. - Alright sir.

Hey, What is he up to?
What is his idea?

He is totally raw. If he collects
only the Sales Tax is that enough?

He is building castles
in the air. You've it.

Hey, Finance Minister.

What is the income from
one day's Sales Tax?

For the party or for the nation?

For the nation. - I don't know.

Shit, you're a bloody Minister.

Stop eating, get up & get lost.

Sir, did you see.

Catch him, catch him, catch him.

Hey, what's all this? - Magnet.

Sir, the lesson he learnt in
his school about the magnet power.

How well he is using it?

Look, how people's brain work.

What will be its weight?
- It should be around 200 gms.

Hey man! If you are under
weighing 200gms for 2kg,

With this weight how much
you would be stealing in a day?

Will you reform? You blood sucker!

Hey! What's this?
What's all this? - World cup!

Whichever side you measure,
it will measure only 2.5 litres!

He is a expert in
pilfering kerosene. Catch it.

Sir, after calculations
he's swindling about Rs. 1500 per day.

He is earning more than the
C. M in a month.

Hey! Whose money do you think it is?
It's these people's money!

Look at these street rag pickers,

maid servants, laboureres,
milk sachet suppliers,

It's the hard earned
money of all these poor people.

Sir, what should be done to
this man? Tell me.

Hit him with slippers!

Cool down, cool down!

Sir, the people are very enthusiastic.

If we hand him over to them, they'll
measure him with his weights & measures!

No we'll have to dismiss
him from his job!

Hey! What's your name? - Sir...

Is "Sir" your name?
Come on tell your name!

What's your name?

Look at the names they have?

Get out.

Hello C.M. Public Grievances

Send instructions immediately to some
other doctor to see that patient. - Okay sir.

Hello, I'm Indrani
speaking from Madurai.

Like a sparrow,
I saved money & bought a TVS bike,

for my husband to go to office!

It was stolen!

We have reported to the police, but
no action has been taken for a week.

Even if they don't take
any action its okay,

but they are ill treating us.
Sir please enquire about it?

What's the name of the complainant?

Nachiappan. He is my husband.

Sir, greetings.

My name is Nachiappan!
Last week I lost my vehicle.

I had lodged a complaint
in your station about it.

Yes? What's it now?

Did you find the lost vehicle?

People have lost Honda cars & are
still searching for them.

Do you think I'll take action
for a few 'paise' worth Vehicle?

What's your name? - Name?
Kathamuthu.

What will you do? Are you such
a big shot to complaint to the DSP?

You'll not get your TVS.

Take it for granted that your vehicle
has been sold in parts.

Mr. Kattamuthu! Please cut the
phone and switch on the fax! - Why?

We are sending your
suspension order.

See, whether its clear, if its not
them we'll refax it again.

Hello sir, who are you?

Sir, there's an urgent request
from Chengalpet district! - What's it?

Someone wants to give a kiss to you!

Kiss?

Hello.

Hey! Kunjaee! Is it you?

What's all this when I am busy!

Hey Thopla!
You're sensational Greetings.

Are you watching me on T. V? - Yes!

But the shirt
you're wearing is not nice.

Had it been a blue colour shirt
it would have been better.

Blue colour shirt?
Okay, hang the phone.

I love you C.M.

Thanks.

Hey! Get a blue colour
shirt for the C.M.

Phone.

Hellol Is it the one day C. M?
- Yes speak up...

Sir, I am calling from
the gate of St. Mary's College.

Eve teasing here has reached
in tolerable proportions.

Boys from the neighbouring slums
are teasing the girls.

It's been happening everyday!

Which is the nearest
Police station?

Police? We have reported
to them many times.

They are afraid to take
any kind of action against them.

I am coming over there
right now.

Instruct that area inspector
to be on the spot. - Okay sir. t.

Driver! Take her immediately
to the nearest hospital.

Take her immediately.

Who called me up from here?
- Sir I called

What had happened to that girl?

A rogue trying to hold
her hand injured her.

And they're taking her to a hospital.

Mr. Krishnan! Follow it up immediately.

You have been receiving so many
complaints about eve teasing,

What have you done about them?

It's a small accident,
these girls are blowing it up.

No sir, they are lying.

Please be quiet.

Hey you keep quiet.
Come on you carry on.

In the nearby Kasi slum
there are few rogues.

Their full time job is to
to tease girls.

Their boss is Alan, a big rowdy.
Who's involved in political murders.

They never take any action against him
because of ruling party's support.

On that strength, those scoundrel's
are misbehaving with us.

Every time they're patting our backs.

It's really disgusting!

Please.

Don't you feel ashamed of
listening to this?

Aren't you being paid for
catching them? Useless fellows.

Sir, police cannot enter
into that area.

Those who had gone like
Head constable, constable, Inspector,

They have killed them.

Why? Haven't you been given a uniform?
Haven't you been issued a weapon?

Sir, the commissioner has
curtailed my power.

Sir, the minister has
restricted my power.

Everybody.

Mr. Mayakrishnan, without omitting
anyone put everyone in the list.

Don't leave anyone.

Which one is Alan's house here?

If you go straight first house
on the left.

Hey! Look on the TV, seems
to be a familiar place.

It's our area.

Our area?

Isn't he one day C. M?

See here and play uncle.

He's entering into some house in
our area. - In your house only!

What man!? Have you come
to interview me?

To release your sprain.

One day C. M is superbly
releasing the sprain!

Hey! Kneel down.

Come on, now say. Say.

Women are like our eyes,

Chanting this get into the van.

Women are like our eyes...
women are like our eyes...

Mr. Mayakrishnan! What about
the sales tax collections?

Sir, very high collections.

All the treasury's of Tamilnadu have
more then 260 Crores till now. - Fantastic!

Do one thing. Use all the collected
money for the poor slum dewellers.

To create job opportunities according
to their education and skills.

Okay sir. It's a very good idea.

Sir, what happened to the list that
I had asked for this morning?

Sir, It's ready.

It's divided separately district wise
in the order of its seniority.

These are those who didn't do
their duties properly.

These are those who interfere
in others doing their duty.

That are those who misuse
their authority.

Sir, totally there are
46518 persons.

Suspend everyone indiscriminately.

It'll be night before we can
sign these papers.

We have a very short time.

Issue an omni bus order!
Put it on the internet.

Like the examination result,
put it on the notice board.

They all should be suspended.

I'll issue orders empowering all the
collectors for suspending them.

Sir, there are some Collectors
also in the list.

Then for them you sign
the orders. - Okay.

If your name is in the list then I'll sign your order!
- Oh no sir, I'm clean.

I am just a little talkative,
other than that...

I don't even use
a pencil of the office.

Sir, even the cell phone bills
I am paying from my salary.

On what strength so many people
have committed there mistakes?

Only on the strength of Ministers of
all those departments.

Because even they
get their share.

Which are the Ministers
involved in this?

Revenue Department, Housing Board
Food and Public Works Dept.

Totally department's
Ministers are involved.

Sir, what shall we do
with them?

Actually, they should be
arrested! - Then do it!

Pugazhendhi Down Down...
Pugazhendhi Down Down...

Look leader. He has
come here also.

Your 12 ministers have
indulged in corruption.

We have evidences for that.

Excuse me.

I've no other option
other than to arrest them.

If you lay your hands on anyone
I'll kill you.

Ask them to come in. - Yes sir.

Hey! Do you want your corpse to float
in Coovum river by tomorrow?

That isn't so easy.

All the Press people are watching.

Please advice them to extend
their co-operation.

You can proceed now.

Constable, break open the door

Sir, I just came to the loo.

Leader, what's this?

I haven't achieved
or effected any social reforms.

I have just abided by
the duty of this post.

If you had done this
in the last 5 yrs.,

our country would have
become heaven on earth.

Thank you so much for your advice.

Your one day is over.

You can go.

Still there are five minutes to go.

There is one final work,
which I've to complete.

You are the root cause for so many
people to commit mistakes.

You are totally responsible for
those people indulging in corruptions.

That's why,

I am arresting you also.

Don't talk like a kid.
You don't know the law.

It's not a joke to arrest
a Chief Minister.

For that, Governor's signature,
Supreme Court's permission,

and other formalities are required.

Don't talk without
knowing the details, get lost.

Excuse me. Today I'm the Chief Minister.

And you're just an ordinary man.

I have all the powers to arrest you.

Arrest him

Oh my god! This was not at all
in our list!

My dear, your good time
has started.

Pugazhendhi down...

Hey, move, move, enough
of taking the photo's.

Please make way.
Please move a little way.

Leader got trapped us
by his strangle talk.

If he comes back to power,
I'm dead.

I thought he can do nothing in a day but
he has put the whole lot behind barsl

Release our leader.
Release our leader.

Heyl Remove your hand.

Release our leader.
Release our leader.

Keep quiet. We'll get him
released soon.

Advocates move to the front.
You're all lawyers move to the forefront.

Sir, lawyers have come.

Lawyers?

When will you get me released?

He'll put me in a
Central Jail before dawn.

So do something immediately.

We have done all the work, all
you've to do is sign these papers.

We'll go to the Magistrate's residence &
come back with the bail. - Take that.

And more importantly,

get a stay on all the orders
issued by that one day C.M.

Get a stay order to make
them ineffective. - Yes sir.

I'll issue an ordinance and make
all his decisions null and void.

Shall I leave now sir?

Go and get the bail
immediately... go man...

Hey You, Maya Krishnan!

Got struck.

Where are you sneaking out?

Come here.

Sir, it was very paining for me
to see you in this position.

So, I was avoiding you.

Don't cry and deceive me!

I know, you were with him & adviced
him in everything, isn't it?

I swear on you sir,
I did nothing like that.

I was going around with him
just like a puppet.

Blind man! Had he been illiterate
he wouldn't have understood anything.

He was educated enough to understand
everything in one day.

He is clever.

Don't play double game with me.

By dawn, I'll be the
Chief Minister, do you remember?

Oh my god! I am a family man
don't take revenge on me.

Shall I arrange someone
to throw acid on his face?

Say yes, I'll arrange it.

We'll forgive him & spare him.

No sir. We'll have to do something.

What's this sir? For a small scratch,
you broke a man's hand.

That guy had hurt
you emotionally,

And you want to forgive and
leave him.

Left him... but didn't forgive him.

A small boy... Has eclipsed my years
of political life.

For all his one day's achievements
he should be consecrated,

with Milk, Honey and BLOOD!

Screwing up means this is
the best screwing up.

Screwed up all the people at a time.
That's called the real screw up.

Even after requesting you never
turned up for work.

But yesterday's screwing seems to
have worked out.

You have come to work so early.

What?! Beedi?
- No Soda water?!

If that man becomes the
Prime Minister of India,

He'll cleanse the whole system.

Hey! He's our one day Chief Minister.

Why are you standing sir?
Sit down sir.

What happened sir? I fell into a
sewage slush.

If you pour Soda on him
When will you clean him up?

No Water man.

He cleansed Tamil Nadu in one day.
We should clean him in one minute.

Heyl Our one day Chief Minister
has arrived.

Leaderl Leader, Chief Minister
Lion, shake hands.

You have achieved. Move out.
Pave the way. Beat the drums.

Carefully... carefully...
slowly... slowly.

You may throw him down.
Bring him down. Go...

All of you move out.

Let all the evil eyes cast
on you be warded off.

You have done a wonderful job.

Congrats. Now, I am no more
Sensational Subha.

You are the Sensational Pugal.

Son! Arrest of Mr. Aranganar was
your master stroke.

Hey! One day Chief Minister has come.

Greetings Leader. Greetings Sir.
- Hey keep quiet.

Brother! Spread and hold your shirt?

What? Hold my shirt?

Spread your shirt and hold.
- Why?

To measure Paddy.

With your one order,
without any broker in between,

you have made the government
buy all the stocks directly from us.

After deducting all the costs and
labour, for a hectare,

we are getting a net profit of
5 thousand rupees.

After the harvest the first measure is
offered to God.

But, now you are our god.

Please don't flatter me.

Our hearts are overwhelmingly filled.
Take this brother.

Take it brother. Take it brother.

What will I do with this paddy?
Offer it to God.

Brother!
- Hold it! Brother!

Even then, for the respect you have
bestowed on me...

Are you happy?

What will my Thenmozhi give me?

With great expectation
I have come running.

Why are you hiding your face
and leaving from here?

Hey! What happened?
Why are you crying?

They gave you paddy and raised
your status to that of god.

What can I give you?

They say that, life is priceless,

but I will not give my life.
I want to live with you.

Modesty is more than life.

Take it.

Thenmozhi! What's all this?

I don't have anything more precious
with me to give you.

The paddy they gave is not important
but the honour is.

The way you gave yourself to me
is not important.

But the trust you have in me
is more important.

That is enough for me.

Hey slim girl.

You're the one who dissolved
me in your vermilion.

When you apply turmeric on your body,
dear you remember me.

Oh dear, you convert me
into your anklet's bells.

Oh slim girl, you've dissolved
me in your vermilion.

When you apply turmeric
on your body, dear you remember me.

Oh dear, you convert me
into your anklet's bells.

One eye is shedding tears,

and my lips are craving for the life.

I live and die frequently
because of you.

Like the leaf which
drops on the river,

and is carried away by
the same river,

my heart is following only you.

Even on forest trees
flowers are blossoming.

Oh slim girll You've dissolved
me in your vermilion.

When you apply turmeric on your body,
dear you remember me.

Oh dear, you convert me into
your anklets bells.

By staying in my eyes,
you're making me restless.

Oh jasmine flower,
you have never talked smilingly...

You grabbed my words,
by the lip to lip kiss.

Till now, your warmth
on my neck had not diminished.

I'm not fair like you.

Even your toe finger isn't black.

The places you touch will become sweet.

Another half of my body
should get that boon.

Oh slim girl, you've dissolved
me in your vermilion.

When you apply turmeric
on your body, dear remember me also.

You convert me into your anklets bells.

Oh dear, you hug me tightly once and
stop my breath.

Oh my love, there's a time
to search myself in you.

Your talk drenches me.

Your sight burns me.

Will they be everlasting in my life?

Your soul is with me
how can you die?

Am I not present in your soul?

Even god of death will be confused
while taking your life.

Oh slim girl, you've dissolved
me in your vermilion.

When you apply turmeric on your boldly,

will you remember me?

You convert me into your anklet's bells,

Will you do it?

The corruptions in Aranganar's rule,

when exposed by the
one day Chief Minister has lead,

the alliance front's party leader
Mr. Tirupathi Samy.

To withdraw his support
from the Government.

Following this Mr. Aranganar's
Government has fallen.

Fresh Elections have been announced.

Heyl Look at a rat pulling an elephant.

In the forthcoming polls, who do you
think will form the Govt?

We voted for him because the
previous Govt. looted 300 crores

But this man has looted more.

As if the ruling front's partner
was very honest,

It pulled the strings
at the right time.

A real opportunist.

Again if we vote and bring them back,
They'll squeeze us.

We don't want the repeat of all
those things.

If a new person comes,
it'll be very good.

If you ask me, that one day
Chief Minister Pughazendhi,

should come back.

Pugazhendhi is the right person.

For Pizza its Italy.
For Noodles its China.

For Chocolates its Switzerland.
For clean rule its PUGAZHENDHI.

Only Pugazhendhi.

It'll be Rama's rule.
- It's A.R. Rehman.

It's M.G.R.

We want Pugazhendhi's rule.

My Pugazhendhi.

We want Pugazhendhi.

Pugazhendhi! Bugger!

We want Pugazhendhill
We want Pugazhendhil

I'll take care of him.

Hello greetings sir.

Congratulations!
- Why sir?

Pugal, I least expected this.

The whole state is agog with your name.
Come on get down quickly.

Sir! I am not interested in politics.

I'll always stand by you.
Don't be scared.

Look! This is a rare opportunity.

Sorry sir. I am an ordinary man.
With ordinary wishes.

All I need is 8 hours of sleep.

Flower like rice cakes and
mint chutney.

A game of cards with
my loving parents.

A contented job.

On Sunday watch Titanic,
Breakfast at Saravana's.

And a beautiful ogre in
Pooncholai Village.

That's more than enough for me sir.

Sir, now my only aim is to
secure a Govt. Job.

For that only, I am studying for
Public Service Commission.

Hey man, the Govt. Itself wants
to be yours.

And you are trying for a Govt. Job.

Is it the same man talking,
Who achieved so much in one day?

Sir, we'll always find fault with
the cooking at home.

One day, they'll challenge us to cook.

We'll accept it on a Sunday
and achieve it.

And it may turn out good.

But, Can we cook daily? We can't.

Because, cooking is not our work.

Then with a pad and pencil.
Do you know only to ask questions?

Sir! That's my duty.

I am asking the questions,
which the people want to ask.

As their representative...

Is it the end of it?

Don't you want to come and stand by the
nation in good or bad times?

I'll stand by the nation, as a follower.
Not as a leader.

I'll fight as a citizen, but not
as a Chief Minister.

Hey you! What do you think of yourself?

You'll do something good and
awaken the public,

and then make people to look forward
for your entry into politics.

With one voice if we call you,

You'll say, I'll go to see Titanic,
I'll have breakfast...

Hey you! Who has barred you from having
breakfast after you become C.M.

Hey! Why are you going back &
running away? They have come.

On every T. V channel they have mentioned
your name without exception.

Go and hide somewhere.

Hey Look.
- Hey are you the next C. M?

Listen to me!
- What do you think of yourself?

Are you the next C. M?

Are you the Sensational Prabha?
Come I'll Sensationalize you.

Help me please.

What? What?
- Give me a good pose. I'll shoot.

Come, shoot. Shoot it in 70 mm.
Come shoot...

Mike is broken, take that light
in your hands.

You want me to take the light,
You son of a Cockroach.

Oh! My god! What a beating?

Hey! You swine.

Come, let's go. Let him die.

Kalyani! Is water coming
in your tap? - Yes.

Then, why isn't it coming in
our house?

What's this? Even power
is also off?

What's this everyone's house is
having power?

Damn it! Even the
telephone is dead!

I'll go and lodge
a complaint!

How many offices will you go
to lodge the complaints?

Sir. - Sir, who are you?

We are coming from
Corporation Office! - What's it?

You have transgressed the rules and
regulations of the Corporation,

while constructing this house!

What are you saying?

Look. You have encroached upon
Govt. Land by 1 foot and 8 inches.

We have been ordered by
the commissioner to demolish it.

It has been there like this for 17 years!
What has happened now?

Did you ever serve
us a notice?

We have served a notice
last month, itself.

What can I do if you
don't receive it?

Sir... Sir... Sir...
- Look, don't disturb us!

Stay away and co-operate
with us.

Come on, you start your work!
- Ask them to stop! Please...

Oh! God they are demolishing.
You can stop it, if you wish to.

I curse them. They will be ruined!

Oh God. Its gone!
It's gone!

You sinners, my chicken!

Take care! Get down safely!

What's this? Why is he getting
down from an ambulance?

What happened to him?
Why is his head extensively bandaged?

Nothing! There was a small
problem in Q T. V?

The wounds are small, only the
bandage is extensive.

Why? Why is this happening
only to our family?

They have stopped water,
power, phone...

Not only that, those murderous sinners
have demolished even our house.

Because of your one day's
Chief Ministership,

they are beating us with
our hands tied.

Mother, don't worry!
Father! Take mother inside!

I am not going to
take it lying down!

They barged into Q T. V and beat me
at the behest of Aranganar.

All are his hench men, I have seen
them with my own eyes.

Palvesham! You go and call
lawyer Sundarajan.

Stop! What are you going to do?
Are you going to file a case.

Great Idea!

There are 14 lakh pending cases
in Delhi,

you only said
in that interview.

It'll take at least 25 years for your
case to get over.

Before that your lawyer Sundarajan
will get beaten twice.

Till now how many cases
have been filed against politicians.

Has any politician ever been
prosecuted and sentenced?

Before the case gets over he'll rule and
enjoy the power and die.

Only bugs will crawl on those files!

For that, do you want me
to spare him?

I am a media man!

I'll call all the T. V channels and
Magazines and tear apart that Aranganar.

They tore apart Q T. V,
haven't you seen it?

Sir, What was the mistake
I committed?

Doing good itself is a crime
in our country!

I had taken an interview.
Was it my mistake?

It was my job!

It was an accident, that I became a
Chief Minister for a day.

Actually what was to be done
by the ruling people,

I did just that on that day!

Everything was over with that day.

I have returned to my
ordinary daily life.

I am just an ordinary man.

Sir, why are they still chasing
and hurting me?

Who said that you are
an ordinary man?

When you sat on that seat
for a day.

That day itself, you had
become a politician.

Politics is like drugs! Once
you are hooked to it you are gone.

Tomorrow, if he wins he'll use
police to beat you.

If he loses he'll use his
hench men to beat you.

You can never escape
from him.

Then, where is the
end to it?

Either, settle down with your family
some where near Poona,

Or else plunge in Politics!

No, I don't want Politics!

This is the winning point
for the Politicians.

Those who should question them
never do & keep quiet.

That's why, these Politicians are
creating so much of chaos.

This is the curse on
this country!

The famed bad man of movies
P.S. Veerappa said it rightly.

"LET THIS COUNTRY AND ITS
PEOPLE BE RUINED"

Hey Auto stop.

Oh! The leader has got up!
Come on get up, get up...

Hey! Don't photograph me?
News may reach higher levels.

Sir, Its just a photograph!
- Man! I may lose my job!

Don't I have to be in this job,
at least till this man comes.

What are you doing here?

I couldn't stay away
so, I had to come back.

What have you decided?

Let him get up and brush his teeth!

Move, leader has to go to toilet,
move... move...

Stay away from my waist
You swine. Go, go.

Move... move... make way
... go... go.

Hey! Stop... Stop...

Greetings brother.

I am the opposition leader
Vaduganathan. I think you know me.

I knew you'll come to the bathroom.

So, I was waiting for you
since morning.

Brother, our party has 40 MLA'S.

They'll sign wherever I tell
them to sign.

Today you join our party.

Who will be the next Chief Minister?
Will it be you or me?

We can decide after discussion
in the general body meeting. Brother...

I have cash in the van!
Totally 100 'C'- 100 'C' means?!

'C' means 100 Crores!

Yuck! What sort of men
are you?

Not allowing a person to go
to toilet and fix rates!

You go... stop. Why this
garland for going to the toilet?

Is he going abroad?
He is just going to the toilet.

Why do you bother him
so much? You go.

Greetings Pugalji.

What? Pugalji?! Why are you
changing his father's name.

Give it to me.

We are coming from a National Party.

Join our party, you will be
the next Chief Minister.

From Delhi, 500 'C' has come
as your growth fund.

You inform our leader about
your acceptance on phone itself.

What? 500 Crores?! Pugal,
give me that income tax number...

Palveshji... formality for me too.

If you talk to Pugal and get our
work done.

We'll pay you 2 C. - You! Swine!

Long Live Leader Tirupathisamy!
Long Live.

I am Alliance Front Party
Leader, Tirupathisamy.

You need not enter Politics.

All you have to do is just issue a
statement that you support us.

We'll accept you as our
spiritual leader.

The way you ruled for a day,
We'll continue it.

Brother! - Who's that calling our
leader as younger brother?

Who is that? - Brother.
- Oh! Agricultural Party!

Come.

Greetings. Come...

Saw on T. V that you
were beaten up.

Seeing that, Thenmozhi has
been distressed.

I couldn't see her distressed. So I
brought her here to meet you.

Nothing has happened to you, isn't it?
- I am okay, Thenmozhi.

Come, with me, I have to talk to
you alone.

They are discussing important
family matter. Don't disturb...

I was distressed hearing your
name from everyone on T.V.

I was afraid that all of them
may push you into Politics.

Don't enter Politics.

Once if you enter, you can never
extricate yourself from it till death,

Or lead a peaceful life.

I am not saying this with any
self-motives.

But as a parent I am
advicing you.

Before you decide,

think once about Thenmozhi, who always
thinks about you only.

Pugal, I like this
girl very much.

Without further discussion marry her.

We'll settle down very far away, beyond
the reach of these Politicians.

Hey, Palvesham move. - I won't.
Now everything is under my control.

You Swine.

You have become an
eminent person.

Do you know how many people
are waiting for you,

just for your
one "YES".

By dumping crores of rupees
in a van.

They have come to bargain your rate.

The opposition party on one side,

The Nationalist Party on
the other.

And since you got badly hurt,

and not being able to bear it,

The youngsters are ready to lay down
their lives, gathered on one side.

And on every channel
of the TV,

public chanting your name
is on the other side.

And above all, this is the latest turn on
the platform of Indian politics.

Why only India, the CNN, BBC etc.
The whole world is waiting for your reply.

What have you decided?

No... no please... please stop.
I beg all of you.

Right now, I am not interested in
saying anything.

Look, I am just an ordinary man.

I am already fed up after getting
beaten up.

Just leave me alone.

Hey, move. Come.

Come here and look at the crowd.

Pugal, has this crowd gathered
after getting money?

Or have they been given
liquor or fish & chips?

This crowd gathered on its own.

Look at the curiosity on
everybody's face,

will a good leader not come?

Will a good government
not be formed?

Will a good future not come into vogue?
Look at their desperation!

Today, invariably everyone wants to
become a Doctor, Engineer or a Lawyer.

Is anyone ready to become
a Politician?

If asked, they say Politics
is a dirty game.

If its so, they should
clean it, isn't it?

Instead, handing over the
country in the hands of dirty politicians,

They have got used
to the muck.

What do youngsters want?
Just think?

A good job and a beautiful
girl to marry.

And till 45 years, after saving
money in installments,

buy a small land away
from the city,

build a house in 800sq. Ft and
paint it in yellow colour,

and then read papers like
Indian Express or Hindu,

and die thinking only about "My family,
my life & my children".

Get lost.

Would Mahatma Gandhi also had
thought in the same vein,

if so, would the country had ever
got its independence?

If Thomas Alva Edison would
have thought like this,

would the country had ever got
Electric power?

If Graham Bell would have thought
like this,

Then nobody would have had ever spoken
on a telephone or a cell phone.

Even a small worm like the silk worm
gives silk and then dies.

We are after all human beings.

Who is he?

What is the relation between
him and you?

Why should he wait for you from
5 'O' clock in the morning?

Son, why have you come?

Our country is also
crippled like me.

Leader, make it stand tall and walk.

Greetingsl

In the polls, people's party
leader Pugazhendhi,

has won with record creating
vote margin.

Candidates belonging to his party
have won in all their constituencies.

With an absolute majority,
it has created a new record.

All the candidates of all the parties,
who opposed him in the elections...

First time in the History of World
Politics 97% voting has been recorded.

For the first time a 28 year old guy
has become a C. M of a state.

Candidates of all the parties who
contested against him,

have lost their deposit.

It is history in World Politics...

Best wishes from beautiful devil.

Greetings to everyone!

What, I expect from you
people is that,

What I did in one day, we should all
make it permanent feature,

and to do that excellently,

I have appointed 2 Ministers
in each department.

An intelligent veteran!
And a zealous young man!

We have Laws for everything, but they
are all ineffective.

They'll leak, till there
are holes in it.

Till the mistakes are
being committed,

However good administration we
may give its a total waste.

First, we should identify the mistake
committed in every corner of this State,

and rectify them immediately.

We have to punish the
wrong doer.

For that I am going to introduce
a new scheme.

Complaint Box.

But, we have a complaint register
in all the departments.

Then, why are the mistakes
being committed?

Because, its beyond reach.

Not only that complaints
registered there,

go to the same concerned
authorities,

who never take action on it and
close the file.

It has become an ineffective
customary symbol.

But, this Complaint box will be
there in every street of Tamil Nadu.

If water doesn't come in taps,
or if electricity fails...

If roads are in bad shape.
Adulteration, bribes...

Not only I.A. S, I.P. S or Ministers,
even if I commit a mistake,

people can make a complaint
without getting scared.

Action will be taken
within 24 hours.

Maximum 1 week, to rectify any
difficult problem.

For this, I am going to start
a new department.

That'll be "COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT".

It'll be under my direct supervision.

The day, when complaints thin out
& complaint boxes become redundant,

only then we can say that the
administration is good.

And to achieve this we are going
to dedicate ourselves.

A green horn, in one election has
screwed up all our political lives.

Till, he runs the govt. We have to
keep off Politics.

We'll have to go back to our villages
to start business afresh.

That, isn't very easy.

On his instructions, Enforcement
Directorate is after our black money.

He must have been a bandicoot
in his previous birth.

He's dug up all the old files and
has registered more than 800 cases!

He'll not rest till he puts all of
us behind bars at the earliest.

We'll have to precede him.

There is no other way than to
assassinate him.

Sir, what?

Didn't you say there is a
party in Bombay?

Not one sir, there are many.

Like acid throwers, stranglers,
poisoning specialists.

Injecting needles, Bomb specialists...

Get the Bomb making specialist.

That's best suited for our terrain.

And also its very easy to throw
the blame on others.

Pugazhendhi has sent me to give
you this present.

Oops! Cell phone to a rustic
village girl!

C. M is on the line, press
OK button and speak.

Hello... Hello.

I'll go, you carry on.

Hello. - Thenmozhi, How are you?

Do you still remember me?

Don't kill me Thenmozhi!

On assuming duty, I had received
many bouquets from P. M, President...

But the one sent by you,
a rustic bouquet.

You don't know, how much happiness
it had given me?

How much I was fretting and
fuming to meet you?

Nobody is there to stop me.

But, I couldn't get rid of myself
from my responsibility.

I had telephoned many times at
Chettiyar's house.

Your father hanged the phone saying
you were out of station.

That's why, I have sent you
this cell phone.

You can talk to me, whenever you
wish to, on this cell phone.

Will you never ever come and see
me again?

I'll come on Sunday.

I'll be waiting for
this Sunday.

There are 6 nights and 5 days, I fear
something might happen by then.

My father is seriously searching a
Govt. Employee groom in the vicinity.

Like a Post man, Lines man
Health Worker, Mill Inspector.

I am under constant fear.

Don't worry! - Software Technologists are
waiting for you.

Okay! I'll speak to you later!

Hello. - I have to speak to him.

To him, means who is him?
There are 36 "Him's" here.

Why even I am also a "Him" only.
Which, "Him" do you want to speak to?

I am Thenmozhi speaking!

Thenmozhi, why didn't you say it earlier
that it was you?

I have arranged all that.
- Sir call for you.

Who is it? - Ogre!

Tell her that I'll
speak later.

He's busy, he said he'll speak
to you later.

Hello, C. M's. Special P.A.
Palavesham speaking,

I am Thenmozhi speaking!

Thenmozhi, I am Palavesham speaking!
Are you fine?

Damn with your enquiries!
Call him first.

He is in a very important meeting.

After the meeting, I'll inform him
that you had called.

Go to hell! You never inform him!
He has never called me back.

I am feeling miserable without him.

A C. M's job is like that...

His time no more belongs to
him. Try to understand.

Subscriber you're calling is not
reachable at the moment.

Please try again later.

Oh chief minister... chief minister...

Oh chief. Look at me.

Don't you've time for romance?

I'm worried after coming
to the edifice of our love.

Won't I have the relief of your kisses?

You're hearing the sound of weapons.

Why can't you hear
the sound of my bangles?

Oh chief minister.

Oh chief minister.

Allot some time...
and write notes on my shoulders.

I'll sign on your heart
with the ink of honey.

You allot money for the
welfare of the country.

You allot some time to me
to make my life happy.

There is prosperous life
for the chief minister.

You're an exception for that.

Oh leaderl I belong to you.

Oh chief.

Oh chief.

You opened Mosques & schools.

But don't you've time
to enter my bedroom.

I've relaxed curfew & exempted tax.

Then I should dispense your dresses.

By leaving your sweet heart in distress,

Are you visiting places
with your ministers?

If I wipe off your tears,

Will there be flow of water
in the taps of people?

Oh rulerl Will you look at me?

Chief minister, look at me.
Don't you've time for romance?

After coming to the edifice of our love,

Are you worried?

Relief of kisses...
- I will.

When the sound of weapons stop,

I'll come to hear the
sound of your bangles.

Oh chief.

What was that sound? - Father nothing!

Take it out.

Who gave it?

He gave it. - Who?

He...

He has left you for politics, why
are you still enamoured of him.

Who's that?

"MUMBAl"

Ohl That bugger
from Madrasl

Ohl Chinnasamy come.

Please carry on.

Accusing the former C. M Aranganar
to be behind those caste conflicts,

you had dethroned him
from the post.

Are you planning to
do away with castes? - I'll tell you.

In Tamil Nadu, there are
totally 350 castes.

But, in my administration, there
won't be so many.

I am going to amalgamate them
into four.

I didn't get it.

In future there won't be any column
for caste in the application forms.

There will be just 4 divisions.

SC/ST/MBC/BC/FC.

All you have to do is to mention
which part you belong to.

Excuse me, by this the reservation and job
opportunities of the oppressed class,

will be snatched from them?

All the castes of Tamil Nadu will
come under some part, isn't it?

Yes! - What more do you want?

There won't be any changes in
their customary benefits.

By this you may lose support of
many caste associations.

I am not bothered about it.

Everyone is afraid of losing the
support of caste associations.

Today, any good work can't be
taken up with courage.

Now, these caste associations have
sprung up like petty shops,

and are scaring
people at large.

I am not a person to be afraid
of all these things.

Whatever is good for this nation
I will do it.

What is the aim of this
drastic action?

After 25 yrs, the future generation
will not know which caste they belong to.

The generation coming
after me will reduce its number.

Atlast there'll only be one
caste left.

That'll be "HUMAN"

Thank you.

Control from alpha.
VIP about to start now, over.

Mr. Manohar, I am going to the village
on a personal work. Why so many cars?

You could have arranged
a P. T car?

Sorry sir, whenever you go all these cars
have to follow you.

It's wrong to spend so much on
my security.

The mistakes and the unnecessary
expenses committed by former C. Ms.,

should not be commited by me.

And do you know something?

In W. Bengal, the C. M has
travelled by bus! You know, isn't it?!

Sir, don't misunderstand me,

You have a threat on your life.
That C.M. May not have.

So, we have to provide you with
"Z" Category security! That is our duty.

You've property to this State.

Your life is more important to us
than your privacy.

Today, you are travelling by
the third car.

Okay! I am not going anywhere.

VIP trip is cancelled redirect all
securities to station, over.

Hey Thenmozhi.

Nobody is observing.

Hey the standard is one foot blue metal
and 1/2 foot of minute blue metal.

2 inches of Tar and the road
should be rolled 5 times.

The road laid by you should
hold for 5 years.

If potholes appear, we'll make
potholes on your head.

This is our brother Pugal's
administration. Keep it in mind!

Yes Mr. Public.

Did you look at our position?
Everyone is coming and threatening us!

Where ever my son goes
it's all flowers & fragrance

Excuse me lady.

Give me five arm length of
"Caste" Jasmine garland!

After our brother Pugal's rule
castes have vanished.

Ask for just Jasmine, I'll give!
- Okay give me.

Oh God! I forgot to
bring money!

Can I give it, on my next visit?
Is it okay for you?

Even known faces are deceiving.
I don't know your face.

I am a known face.

Oh my god! He is Chief Minister!

Don't shout! I have come on a
personal visit.

Please, don't reveal it to anyone.

Sir, he has come to
Pooncholai village.

In a disguise with blue turban
yellow shirt and silk 'dhothi', over.

You keep watching him, I will
come immediately.

Take this! - Thank you.

Damn it. There's no photographer
in the vicinity.

Brother, autograph this.

A man rich in thoughts & deeds.

If you have promised to come on
Sunday then you must come.

You keep up all the promises
given to the people.

But, when it comes to wife
you'll deceive.

What sort of a man are you?

Anybody at home?
- Nobody.

Then, who's talking? Ghostl

Stop there, who are you
barging in? What do you want?

Not barging in Madam, I have
come for some sweet nothings!

Why are you talking with
some motives?

I have come here
with some "intentions"

What will you do?

Peel off your lips, a bite below
the neck.

To seize your waist with mouth,
and a small rape!

Okay! Go ahead.

Oh! You sinner!
You deceiver!

Hey! Thopla! Can't I recognize you
if you wear a turban?

Take it off man.

What's all this disguise!

Thenmozhi! Now I am not a
Chief Minister.

No files, no Police around, no siren
I am just an ordinary man.

I am your lover! This day
belongs only to you.

Order me to do anything?
I'll do it for you.

Thenmozhi! Now I am
feeling very hungry.

Hey! You sinner since you didn't
turn up. I didn't buy chicken.

Only left over rice
is there! - That's enough!

There are no side dishes.

When you are here, why do I need
side dishes with rice?

Salty dry fish and left over food.

You're there to feed them to me.

By kissing you on your forehead,

I want to die lying on your heart.

Salty dry fish and left over food.

You're there to feed them to me.

By kissing you on your forehead,

I want to die lying on your heart.

Shall we catch a chameleon?

Shall we share a mango?

Fishes, which jumps in the rivers...

and the grass which
grows in the slush.

You come and dance along with me.

Shall we take bath as nudes?

Get rid of your shyness.

Past and future are false.

Only present is true.

Let both of us have feast
from one leaf.

You're crossing your limits.

What're you murmuring in my ears?

I'll tie the knot & present you
with a blouse matching your size

You start your love ploys.

Salty dry fish and left over food...
you're there to feed them to me.

By kissing you on your forehead,
I want to die lying on your heart.

The forest, where only air can enter...
in the Loxia bird's nest...

You allot a place
for me to stay there.

Even if you steal my saree,
I'll cover it by my hand.

Clothes are false.

But their worth is real.

You put all your beauty on my hand.

My heart is beating drums...

You fulfill your wish
through proper channel.

The real thing will be in the
joining of two souls.

Salty dry fish and left over food.

Do you want me to feed you?

By kissing me on my forehead.

Do you want to die lying on my heart?

Salty fish and left over food.
You're there to feed them to me.

By kissing you on your forehead.

I want to die lying on your heart.

Shall we catch a chameleon?

Shall we share a mango?

Thenmozhi! I am very happy today!

How nice it will be if we have
2 Sundays in a week!

You are the C. M isn't it? - Yes

You can grant yourself any
number of holidays for you.

You don't have any authority
over and above you.

That isn't true. People are
my Superior Authority.

I am just a worker for them.

So sweet... - You too...

You have managed even your adamant
father for our marriage.

What next? Marriage at the next
auspicious time.

I'll present you turmeric &
with a blouse matching your size

Sorry sir,

even without your permission, It's my
duty to save your life.

Look back! Down!

Attack! Move fast.

Come.

Leave him. - Come on.

Everything is under control now.
- Go fast.

Come fast.

Clear that stretcher.

I never expected it.

You may have selected this life
of playing with death,

but I and my daughter don't
need such a life.

Father! He...

Even after all this, if you still
wish to marry him only,

let him leave all this and come
as an ordinary man.

I can tolerate you as a
spinster all your life,

but I don't have a heart to
see you as a widow!

What's this father? Reversal of roles!
I should press your legs!

You have come back from death! Let me
at least touch you and feel.

For that, why do you want to
touch the feet?

Didn't I do this when you
were very young.

Now, you have lot of tensions.

Let me massage your legs so that you can
have a peaceful sleep.

Come on sleep.

Henna! Shall I apply henna
on your palms?!

Mother, It's been long since I
slept on your lap.

How nice it'll be, if all my life
passes off like this.

No C. M... no security.

How nice it'll be if we have a rewind
button in life like a VCR.

Mother, why are you crying?

It's been long since we had a talk.

I feel you have gone far away
from us.

Mother, you talk...

What else will I talk except
your marriage?

What did Thenmozhi's
father say?

He's also interested, but...

Father, cut that phone call.

You and your father come, we can
talk it over and finalize it.

Maya Krishna is on the line.

May be something very
important.

I am Maya krishnan speaking.

Hello! Not able to get the
signals inside the house!

I'll move outside and talk to you.
Please be on the line.

Hello!

Sir! I am able to listen
properly now.

Pugall Just now we have received
an intelligence report.

A bomb has been placed in your house
ask everyone in the house,

to move out immediately.

What?

Mother.

Father!

Mother!

What's this? What's all this?

Mother! Mother!

Mother, the henna which you have kept
on my hand has not yet dried.

Before that... Mother! Mother!

Father! Father! Please come back.

If we also had a rewind button
like a VCR in our life.

How nice it would had been.

You are a happy man!

Dear... Hey, you...

Don't do it, brother!
Leave him, brother, leave him.

Brother, leave him, don't harm
him leave him.

On being appointed as Chief Minister
I, N. Pugazhendhi.

To safeguard this nation
and its people,

I promise to be beyond
the personal prejudices.

You, you, what did my
parents do to you?

You have torn them
into pieces!

I want my father's hands
which took me to school.

Where is my mother's breast
which fed milk to me?

Where is it? You... where?

Mother, everybody bury's the
dead! Or cremates them.

But I have come here after
washing away my parents ashes.

And the reason for that is...
your husband.

Is it that easy to hold
a CM's post?

Didn't you do something very
drastically?

There are people who may
not like it.

Like Caste Associations, Extremists
Foreign Hands,

there will be enemies
like them.

Tomorrow if anything happens
you may accuse me...

Hey! Don't act smart.

I know perfectly that its you!
Stop all pretensions.

The law will come to
get you.

Maragatham, he's dishevelled my hair.
Give me a comb.

Chinnasamy! Before he arrests me
his govt. Should fall.

Wherever they see there must be Strikes
Riots, Communal Clashes,

here and there bombs should go off
and people should die.

Law and order should be disrupted.

You sinners!

To the respected Chief Minister.

For the past few days,

Some suspicious people had threatened
us and stayed in our house.

I have gathered from
their talks,

that they may be involved in big
crimes like bomb blasts.

Before they commit any
dangerous crimes,

I request you humbly to
take necessary action.

From a person who wishes
for your perpetual good rule,

and not interested to reveal
the name, a citizen.

My god!

Hey You! Where did this
letter come from?

No... We don't have time for that!
First arrest that Chinnasamy.

Okay sir.

Maya krishnan? I have told you to arrest
Chinnasamy and interrogate him.

Why did you call me here?

As soon as he sensed that we'll
be arresting him,

The fatso intelligently complained
of Diabetes and B.P.,

and got himself admitted in
this hospital.

They have made it a style of getting
admitted in a hospital.

Look at him, sleeping like a
corpse in a well.

We have to enquire an
important matter.

Please, can you co-operate
with us?

He's acting as if he has just passed
out of Poona Institute.

Sir, please excuse me.

He has got high B. P, high Sugar,
and also Chest pain.

That's why, its not possible
for him to speak.

Oh I see! Besides being a lawyer
you claim to be a doctor too!

No, I have his medical certificates.

Please, don't disturb. - Okay, I understand.

Right now, he is under
what treatment?

There was a small wound
in his leg,

Because of high Sugar,
gangrene has formed.

They gave him an injection
on the spinal cord,

They have cut one of
his legs.

Oh my god, where is my leg?
Oh my god, where is my leg?

Sir, the sugar has again increased
what will they do?

Nothing much, they'll cut the second
leg and keep it in the Delhi Museum.

Sir, please don't disturb the patient
Kindly leave him alone.

Hey, Lawyer, shut your gob and
get out from here.

Sir don't believe him I am
perfectly healthy.

Before dying, people will be
bright & shiny like you.

You have sugar, B. P and all the
ailments that are in the medical records.

Sir, all those are false certificates.
Don't believe them.

Get out.

Now, with civility tell me, where
have they planted the bombs.

Tiger Balm, or Zandu Balm.

Joke! And you expect us
to laugh at it.

Bloody rascal, we'll tear you apart, tell us.

I swear, I don't know.

Chinnasamy look,
you are caught red handed.

You have given a false certificate
that you have high sugar.

If we cut your leg or hand
nobody will bother, tell us.

Brother... - Touch any of these fingers.

This one is for what?
- To cut your hand.

This. - To cut your leg

Then this. - For that...

Oh my god! Don't cut any of
these I'll tell you. - Fast.

I'll tell you...

We have planted them at 4 places.

In a bank at Mount Road, Railway station,
in a marriage hall & in a cop's bike.

Wow! I've got back my leg.

Can we do business by keeping
your leg, you keep it.

Then can I take rest?
- Yes of course, but in the lock up.

At once, contact the bomb squads and
ask them to go to the spots.

And one more thing,

call up the Police control room,

And ask them to park all the cop's bikes
in a sterile area.

Okay sir. - That's it.

Sir, did you find anything?
- Nothing, as of now.

Shit! - Sir, you go, we'll do it.

No... no... I've to examine
it myself, come.

No... Come on.

Son, don't move. Wait...

Hold him, be careful!

Cool... Check,

and go back... go back...

There is a bomb inside the hall
everybody move out.

Listen to me, keep all the doors open,
take out the ladies safely & properly.

Sir, to besmirch the Govt. Of Pugazhendhi,

It seems, you have planted
Bombs at 4 places.

He'll himself plant the bomb, and
he'll himself defuse them,

and he'll put the blame on us.

How is it possible?

Not a single planted bomb
would explode.

He'll defuse the bomb correctly
before it explodes.

The opposition party which is
fully united.

They are scared that it may
come in power again,

that's why he has hatched
this conspiracy.

But, the one which was planted in
his house,

didn't kill him.

Didn't you understand its implication!

To upstage his political image,

he didn't hesitate even to kill
his own parents.

Sir, your reply.

Look, there will be an enquiry.

You yourself planted the bomb to
kill your own parents...

No... no... comments...

Why did you ask me
to come?

Hey look, I never aspired
to sit on this chair.

Neither, did I snatch it from you.

Lakhs of people came searching
for me to my house,

with the faith that I'll do
something good for them,

they cast their votes for me
and made me to sit here.

I intend to do
some thing good for them,

But you... You are not
allowing it work out.

Do it fearlessly, do it,
I am not stopping you.

You are not stopping, but you are
putting spokes in it.

You use your brain to
destabilise ruling party,

Even if you had used 1 o/o of it
for public welfare,

Our country would have
developed long back.

You'll always create problems like Strikes
Caste conflicts, Bomb blasts...

Do I've to think about the
welfare of the people,

Or follow the trail of
the bombs planted by you?

From the very beginning you
have been accusing me!

The Police is under your control.
File a case against me.

Set up an enquiry commission,

if you are able to prove your allegations,
hang me!

Am I stopping you?

I know how a spineless politician
will try to escape from the law.

You cannot escape from me, okay?

I am going to kill you!

You are not able to handle
me, isn't it?

You don't have to show compassion
towards the life of a mosquito.

30 yrs of my political life I have spent
eating flesh and leaving shells behind.

Now I have come to your place,

everyone outside knows about it.

Only we both are here.

You cannot escape that easily
after killing me.

You have 30 yrs experience. Add to this
my 1 year of acquaintance with you,

So I have become 31 yrs.
Experienced politician.

Now, I am going to shoot...
Not you but myself!

Guards!

You have made me a fool!
Now you die!

How can I sit in your seat?

It may be good for an argument
but is it practically possible?

It's possible!

Why don't you be there for a day
and see it for yourself?

That was a good interview.

Mr. Krishnan! At last they have made
even me a Politician.

Sir, forget it. He had always
indulged in dirty politics.

You have indulged in it only once
for a good deed.

You keep quiet.

You didn't tell me anything and
I didn't hear anything.

You Sinner! How unjustly
you have shot him?

How's that?

Son! I am ignorant about other
things except agriculture.

I was concerned only about the
welfare of my daughter.

But, you have sacrificed your own parents
for the sake of others welfare,

And there is no one besides you
to take care of you.

I bless you!
