She meant the world to them

Most fathers drown in this routine, sir

Half the time we run around

immersed in our work

We don't spend time with our family

or shower affection on our children

Sir, I took up

too much of your time

It's alright, sir

Do you want anything else, sir?

No, we are done

Shall I make the bill now?

- Give it to me

- Let me pay, sir

People often tell me

I have a jinxed tongue

Whatever I say will come true

You just watch

You'll get your gun back

for sure, sir

I swear, sir

Maximum it may take 2 or 3 days

By then your gun

will be in your hand

Give me your phone number

Number...9841-

I got carried away

talking to you, I forgot

I have an important errand to run

I'll take leave now

- Tell me where you have to go

- It's okay, sir

- 'I can drop you'

- No, that's fine

Yov! I know you are here

Better step out

You settled down for life

because of the gun I sold you

But the police came to nab me

And now I am roaming around incognito

Listen, better come out

I won't harm you

Let's make a deal

Give me a share

Our deal will be done

Do you get it?

Understood?

Damn you!

Answer, son of a gun

Hey! Don't underestimate me

I'll go straight to the police

Your entire stash

will be licked clean

What a lot of effort

you must have put into this

Tottering old man!

If I snitch, you'll spend

the rest of your life behind bars

What...?

Is the deal fine?

Just 1 payment

2.5 million

Only 1 payment

I need to talk to you

Can you spare some time for me?

Will you forgive me?

Will you...?

I met a man today

I think God sent him to me

When his wife was alive,

he didn't realize her value

But after she passed away

life means nothing to him

I don't want you also

to leave me

"Will you forgive me?

Don't ask me this, silly"

"Forever and a day truly

Don't go away from me"

- Raghu anna

- Sathya, come at once

Who called you here?

I just felt like seeing you

Don't try all this crap with me

Who is this man, sir?

There are many cases

of theft piled on him

He was in jail for 2 years

Suddenly changing his profession

he went away to Bihar

He was into some

petty thefts there

6 months ago he crept back

into Tamil Nadu quietly

Recently with 2 boys, he has

been planning something huge

Sir, I am innocent

Please believe me, sir

Bring that boy here

Who, sir?

He works in the tea shop where

Moorthy and his 2 sidekicks usually meet

Come here

This is the chap you saw

in your tea shop, right?

He isn't the one, sir

Take a good look

at him and tell me

No, sir

You were the one who told me

A bald man around 50+

- Yes

- Now you're denying it

If he intimidates him

how will this boy speak up?

Don't know the reason, Sathya

Sir has been behaving

strangely from yesterday

Listen, don't get scared

If you remember anything,

call sir and tell him

Now go with him, okay?

I remember this alone very well

Whenever he comes

he'll only drink black tea

- Are you sure?

- Yes, sir

I write it down in the account

note book, I know for sure

They will order 2 tea

and 1 black tea

He's a damn good actor, Sathya

I'm sure he is our man

I don't think so, sir

I told you already

You are very experienced

You're Mr Know-it-all!

(phone ringing)

Okay

You were right

He isn't our man

Any clues?

Nothing, sir

HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE!

Such a serious offense

No clues it seems

Tell me some damn thing

He wasn't armed, sir

We checked his mobile too

He didn't make any calls

for 2 hours prior to his demise

He was murdered in the toilet

So it doesn't look like

they came to make a deal

What else did you find on him?

Cell phone

Wallet and room key

Wear gloves

I got my provident fund money

What was the total amount you got, pa?

1 million

I want to divide it equally

between you and Prakash

Why are you also

calling him 'dad'?

Isn't he dad for me too?

Dad or uncle

It's all the same

You treated them equally

and divided it 50-50

Then...

I have something else to tell you

I had another fixed deposit

I had invested long ago

When your mother was alive

Now it has matured as 200,000

I would like to transfer

that amount in Rakesh's name

What little I can give him

with love from me

Something else equally important

My old friend Prabhu

Prakash, you know him very well too

I've even taken you to his house

In Coimbatore

in the foothills of Velliangiri

He runs an Old Age Home

I'm thinking of staying there for a while

Why, pa?

- Aren't we taking good care of you?

- Nothing of that sort

I could be of help to him

Stay peacefully, enjoying nature

You'll have your usual

office tension

I'm all alone at home

during the day

If he feels happy going there

let him try it out

Let me know if you need

money for expenses

I don't need money

I've got one more fixed deposit

Rs 100000

That will do

1 more, huh?

Prakash, I think your dad

has a hidden stash at home

I never expected you'll get

this much as pension

That officer gave you hell, right?

At least that good soul

relented in the end?

May he be blessed!

Moorthy, why are you here

at this time of the night?

I came to get your signature

Yov! Are you mad or what?

Get out, you a**hole!

I went through hell

because of you

'Mysterious murders continue

in Chennai city again'

'A criminal who killed a little girl in

a bank robbery a few days ago...'

'...continues to go

on a killing spree'

'A special police force has taken up

this task of ferreting out the criminals'

'What is the motive

behind this serial killing?'

'Is it money?

Is he a psychopath?'

'Or is it a vendetta

of a personal nature'

'Task force is interrogating

leaving no stones unturned'

Anything suspicious?

No, Sathya, these are

all regular office files

What is that file?

This is provident fund clearance

- Nothing else

- Let me see

It is already cleared

Officer signed yesterday

The same officer was murdered

That problem got settled

to a certain extent

Now a new officer

has to be appointed

He has to get into the groove

This will drag on

for at least 2 months

Is Mr Krishna in?

My father is called Moorthy by everyone

That's why Arthi didn't understand

I'm making coffee

Tell me, sir

Your father's PF check

has been cleared

I came to hand it over to him

Sir, I think this is some mistake

My father's Provident Fund

was cleared yesterday

1 million!

Rakesh, shut up

It can't be that much, sir

Why not?

Quite possible

He walked more than zillion miles

to get this million!

Poor man!

Sir, I think you've got

2 names mixed up

This check must be

to some other Moorthy

Quite possible

You don't get flustered

I'm not here to make trouble

I know Mr Krishna,

Mr Moorthy very well

I came to help him

If you don't mind,

can you show me the PF check?

If I see it, I can

clarify the name confusion

He didn't get a check

He brought home only cash

- Cash?

- Yes

1 million?

Yes, sir

He gave me 200000

'Sir, his name is Moorthy'

Krishna

'My father is called Moorthy by everyone'
