Okay...okay...-Okay, then.

Good night Mr.Sivam.

Unbelievable.

What? -Cyclones, rains...winds...

These are common in Orissa.

People face them every year.

Every year, they say

it'll hit Chennai.

But, it hits only Orissa and Andhra...

Its a great pity!

Sir, you can see a huge wave here.

Sir, you can see 'Tsunami' here.

Sir, do you know the meaning of 'Tsunami'?

l know the meaning of "Tsunami'.

-Tell me, what's it?

That is....That big wave.

Very good.

No...Its a big mountain.

You've studied abroad, haven't you?

Sir, tell me the height

of "Liberty Statue'?

300 feet.-Very good.

Why do you say "very good' for everything.

Is it an examination?

No, sir it's just an appreciation

of your knowledge.

You said the height of

Liberty Statue is 300 ft.

Here, it seems the waves will

be 250 ft. high.

In Orissa? -Yes, sir.

They said.

Impossible.

Ive only heard. But, we can find a wave

about 50 ft. high in Danushkodi.

Sir, don't you think

it's an "over exaggeration'?

No, it's not.

Such a wave swept away my father.

What do you mean?

l mean, it swept away my father.

My father was very

interested in photography.

He asked me to click his

snap with the swell of the wave.

He said ''Itll look nice''.

We got a good print of the wave.

But father was gone.

What do you mean by that?

We didn't even get his body.

It means he died, isn't it?

Im sorry, Mr.Sivam.

Excuse me, Id like a first class ticket

to Chennai please, by Coromandel Express.

All trains cancelled.

What?

Cancelled.

Excuse me, Im a Tax-payer.

You're answerable to me.

Tell me one good reason why I can't

take a train to Chennai?

What's this?...What's this?

Pointing....

Is it a railway station

or a harbour? -What?

What?

Nothing man...

Time! -Its a bad time.

-Time! Time!

Hey stop!...Thief... Police...

Emergency...Ambulance! Stop! Stop!

Stop... Wait... stop...

You.. you.. you... Thief.

Oh God! I don't know how to swim.

Stop him, he's running with my purse.

Thief! Dacoit! Stop him!

Hey stop!.. Give me my purse.

Don't try to beat me...

Whatever it is, we'll adjust.

Stop.. Stop man!

Catch.. catch.. stop.. stop!

Don't know whether he

knows English or not.

Is it very important?

He has taken away my purse.

Isn't this your purse?

He has taken the cash and

ran away...Is it enough?

Is there no policeman or

a police station here?

Railway station itself is submerged.

-Yes, how can a police station exist?!

l think, it's in that corner.

-Sir, please...

Don't touch my bag.

Wait...

He's from this town.

He'll bring the bag safely.

How do you know that

he's not a thief?

Sir, Im not a thief.

Im an old friend of comrade.

He's my friend, Misro.

This is Aras. -Im sorry...

Without knowing that you're a Tamilian,

l mistook you for a thief.

Its alright, I feel sorry that you

lost your money in our town.

Im very sorry.

-No problem.

Credit card is left. Thank God!.

That bag...

That bag...

Wait...Let it be there itself.

We'll go and take it.

You go...We'll bring this bag...

This bag? -We'll bring this bag....

-Don't laugh man.

It didn't happen like that.

Ive never seen thieves...

Are we friendly with thieves

and running their association?

lf you had asked in the hotel, they

would've told you that there's no train.

At least you could've asked me...

Was I so soundly asleep that

you couldn't wake me up?

I would've not got this bag,

if he wasn't there.

Its nothing. Why are you making

it into a big issue?

Sir, it's a big thing.

Guess how much money

Ive in this bag?

Sir, I don't know, but I know

how much money I had.

Rs.4000. He has stolen it.

At least he left the credit cards.

Thank god!.

I have Rs.32 lakhs in this bag.

Its true, sir.You tell him.

In Orissa, 100 Tamilians

died when the dam broke.

He argued in the court with the

help of our Union.

Only now, he got the compensation.

Now, he's going to hand over

the check.

Its very rare to see such a person.

-Tell me the details.

I didn't argue, the lawyer won the case.

Im just a messenger to

hand over the check.

But, if Mr. Misro was not there

it would've taken one more year.

Without knowing the Oriya language...

Oh God! Look where the car is!

It would've been thrown up there

by the floods. Let's go.

That bloody man was responsible

for this...Sister .

Do you know him?

-No, let's go...

Do you've any sisters?

-No...

Then, don't worry. Keep going.

Don't use bad words.

Why are you abusing him?

What're you saying?

He doesn't have any sisters.

He's assuming wrongly that you do.

Technically wrong.

-Yeah, very funny?

Technical aspects? Don't laugh!

It's insulting.

Yes, your city is very bad.

We don't know what they're

bad mouthing.

From here, if we go to Andhra and

go straight to Tamil Nadu.

We can at least understand

their bad mouthing.

Its very funny.Very funny.

Ive Rs.15 and you've Rs.5.

How can we go with this amount?

Till Orissa border...

-We can go by bus.

Sir, how can we go with this

meagre amount?

We'll get a seat for this money also.

Come on.

Sir, the man next to me is

chewing tobacco.

Ask him to either chew tobacco or

play the flute. -Why?

Im getting wet in the shower of his

tobacco mixed spittle...

Its very unhygienic.

You should be one of the crowd

in a public place.

You'll want make adjustments

by remote control.

This is world not a T.V. set.

-I know the world.

l know people.

Don't try to teach me everything.

Ive traveled a lot.

Im very friendly also.

Hi! Aras here!

Are you okay? See...

Will you eat this?

-Oh thank you.

Ask him not to eat.

-Don't eat it.

What?

Ive eaten in North Indian road

side eateries. No problem.

Ive got a very good immune system.

And my health is also very good.

Do you have one more?

Don't eat one more, if you eat

you'll go crazy.

Mata...? -Yes, mata (forehead).

"Mata' means "Mother'.

Is he scolding me?

He'll feel dizzy. -He means that,

you'll faint and fall down.

Lie! You don't know Oriya, do you?

I don't know Oriya, but I

know about that drug...

Drug? You mean a narcotic or something?

Its a ball made out of cannabis paste.

What'll happen if I eat this?

After eating it, you'll walk

on all fours.

Vidhyasagar Lyrics: Vairamuthu

Buddy, you've gone crazy

and lost your sense.

What happened to me, I feel butterflies

fluttering in my mind.

Your kick has gone up

like American Dollars.

Our brains have come down like

Indian rupees.

When we get a kick...

"Knowledge gets increased'.

After the kick comes down, knowledge

gained will decrease.

We should've some kick in life.

Or else, we won't have strength.

Mother's milk as well as liquor,

both give us kick.

You're not clever enough to

differentiate between them.

Mother's milk gives the kick

only for few months.

But, the kick of liquor will

remain for our entire life.

Kick may change...

Will your mind change?

Can a dog's tail ever be straightened?
