- I overheard

- Who said so?

- Murthy

- Tell me, bro

You hosted a sumptuous feast

I'll take leave

Thank you for gracing the occasion

Don't be formal, Murthy

This time you'll secure a seat

MLA is definitely on the cards

Don't worry, our votes

are assured for you

- I'll take leave

- Thanks, bro

See you

[whistling]

Hey balloon, wait

Won't you stop if I call you?

You called 'balloon'

Ask it to stop

Charlie, wait

You'll get it from me today

Hassling me!

- Why are you rude?

- I was rude?

You...er...you were-

Why are you sweating

all over your eyes?

Look at me

I am crying

So sad!

Why?

Whatever!

Why did you call me?

- I want a balloon

- Which one?

All of them

Do you have cash?

Here you are

Now get going

- Charlie

- What?

What did you say?

Don't act as if you don't know

What?

Only because I understood I'm acting

What was it you understood?

I have no one as family

Now I know a child believes in me

More than that

I also know your family

won't approve of me

I don't care what they think

What's important is how you feel

What?

Tell me

I'll tell you in church tomorrow

I can't, whatever it is

tell me now

I decide all good issues

only in church, got it?

Don't keep bullying me

I get scared you know

Murthy, how are you?

I am fine

Tell me, boss

Heard you have hosted

a feast for all my men

Yes, sir

Okay, you fed everyone

None of them who ate there

is willing to defend you

If no support even from our caste

why allot him a seat, they want to know

What can I do, Murthy?

Tell me in a way

I can understand

Don't stand this time

We have our hands full

Attend to it for the time being

Wait for a while

Then you can get elected

- Okay?

- Yes, sir

Speak up boldly

Either way, we'll tackle it

- What is it?

- 'Is Murthy a stranger?'

Shanmugam bro wants to

discuss something

About his daughter's love affair

Tell him I'll talk tomorrow

Hey, wait

Bro is out of sorts

after receiving a call from the party head

Hello, Murthy, forgive me

for coming at this hour

I have a family problem

That's why-

That's okay

Tell me

Why are you hesitating?

'I didn't believe when

so many friends told me'

I personally saw

Our Shenbagavalli flirting

with a balloon seller

When is your wedding?

I have professed my love

to him only today

He said he'll confirm tomorrow

What gall!

Go ahead, hit me

I won't change my mind

I know you won't change

your mind either

Yell at me

Beat me, I don't care

If you try to separate us

I will die

I'll tell this whole town you are

the cause for me dying, watch out

My daughter is so stubborn, Murthy

If it was a problem within our clan

we would have solved it

But in this issue

the balloon seller is not one of us

Only you can reprimand

that chap to stay away

How can that fellow

even aspire for such an alliance?

We should teach him a lesson

Don't lose your cool

We mustn't be rash or impulsive

Don't send her to college for a few days

I will deal with him

No, Murthy, that chap-

Trust me

Go home, bro

Can you identify that girl?

I know her well

- I have a doubt

- Tell me, bro

It is said, only when love is restrained

it will rupture and explode!

- You're sure that girl will step out?

- Yes, bro

- Kill her when she steps out

- Bro...?

She belongs to our caste

When problems obstruct

our political career...

...making calculated moves with

others' problems isn't a crime

Bro, what do we gain

by killing that girl?

Something will come out of it

It should

'25-12-1989

Christmas eve'

Charlie, you look good in this costume

Every Christmas day

wear this costume hereafter

Father, I wanted to ask your opinion

Good choice

She is ideal for you

Come soon, everyone is

waiting for you outside

I'll be outside, Father

See properly

Saw? There is nothing inside, right?

Hey! Come

Who are you?

Let go of me

Let me go

Clobber-

What are you doing to me?

Azhaganna, why have you tied me up?

Any problem with my father?

Or do you need money?

Tell me, I'll sort it out for you

Bro, please tell him to untie me

Why are you so quiet?

Tell him, bro

Start the car

Bro, I beg of you

I am scared, bro

You must have mistaken me

for someone else

Ask them to untie me, please

You should have loved

a man from your own caste

'You made a mistake'

You gave everyone a gift

What about me?

Here

Charlie, can I call you daddy?

I'm fine with that

I know whom you are waiting for

She follows you all the time

Waiting for her, no?

I heard you intend marrying her

Isn't her name Shenbagavalli?

Yes, but you mustn't

call her by her name

Call her 'amma', okay?

I want to see amma right now

Now, huh?

Can we see her tomorrow?

I want to see her now

Take me to her house

Isn't it dark now?

So I'll take you to

meet her tomorrow

Greetings, sir

Brother

He ruined my daughter's life

and sent her to her grave

Why did you yell at her?

You could've been gentle

We weren't harsh at all

All I said was

'Don't talk to him'

She said she would die

if we restrained her

She hung herself

Don't cry

Rosy, take her inside

Come in

She's so young, Murthy

Never thought she would resort to this

We don't even have the strength

to go in and see her

I feel like dying

Murthy, when a vagabond hit on her

we should have broken his limbs

Taking his punishment as a lesson

no other man will trouble our girls

- We must do that first

- Don't be in a hurry

There's a time for everything

My daughter had her whole life

ahead of her, he ruined it

He shouldn't be alive

He must die

He should die

He has brought disgrace to our caste

With my bare hands I will stran-

Wait

Of what use are we then?

Anna, I have a doubt

We might as well

have killed him first

If you must head a gang...

...we must solve all their problems

If there are no problems...

...we have to create issues

If we had killed him 1st,

it would've been a family issue

Now it has flared

as a caste issue

Your calculations are bang on

If something had gone amiss, that girl

would have lost her life for no reason

Yes, dispensable

Pa...?

Why are you unhappy

on Christmas eve?

Nothing, darling

Enjoy yourself

- Come

- Appa, what happened?

Hey balloon, open the door

'Or shall I break the door?'

Don't come till I call you

Go and hide

Why should I hide?

I am scared, pa

I won't go

Hey! Listen

- Open the door

- Till I come, don't step out

Listen to me, dear

- He is inside

- Hey! Open

I'm sure you'll listen to me

'Can't you hear us?

Open the door'

'- GO!

- This won't work'

'Break open the door'

Why are you doing this, bro?

Hey balloon, what wrong

did Shenbagavalli do?

- Why did you?

- What are you saying?

What happened to Shenbagavalli?

Though you forced her, she didn't comply

and you killed her

What are you saying, bro?

I think you don't get it

You killed her

My men are waiting to take revenge

What shall we do now?

Don't you know to stab

directly on the chest?

You deserve to die
