'World over, football, cricket,

hockey, badminton, chess, carom...'

'...are sports well appreciated

But people still love to watch'

'...boxing as a sport in which

men stake their lives to fight!'

'For the past 100 years, boxing has

been part of Tamil Nadu's culture'

'Over to the person who has done

extensive research on boxing'

'Professor Chandrashekhar'

In 1931 Charles Buck,

a white man from England...

...was the 1st to train strong men

of Chennai to become boxers

These trained boxers then

split into different groups

Natural medicine master's lineage

Iron man Rasamanickam's family

...were 2 such clans

Even though all these

descendants co existed...

...most popular were Rasamanickam's

and Natural medicine master's clans

When British granted

freedom to India...

...presided by earl Jackson

...in the Farewell Freedom

India boxing competition

...Rasamanickam clan and

Natural medicine clan fought

A boxer played a foul game

And the fight turned

into a major feud

If you are part of that rotten

Natural medicine master's clan...

...then you are

also my enemy

Iron man group is our enemy

for generations now and ever

From now on it is

permanent enmity

'After this, the fight for

the cup resulted in riots'

From 1948 -1990

when the riots happened...

...Rasamanickam's clan

won 20 times continuously

But in 1991-

Natural medicine master

is my famous ancestor

We were ashamed and angry

we had lost repeatedly

With the same fury on the day

Lord Shiva converged with Shakthi...

...Munusamy challenged his rival

from Natural medicine master's clan

According to our

boxing tradition...

...he swirled a chain

and called for a duel

I, Black Tiger Munusamy challenge

anyone from Rasamanickam's clan

...to fight English or

Tamil boxing whichever

In Tamil boxing, you can

hit only on the face

In English boxing, you can hit

anywhere above the belly button

Our guru, after analyzing

the right rival for Munusamy...

...chose Mariappan

In order to protect

our clan's dignity...

...our whole area

supported Munusamy

The butcher gave

chicken and mutton

Sait (financier) got him

shoes and gloves

They were both

training at night...

...so that they don't divulge

each other's techniques

Goddess Angalamma!

Only my father should win

For Munusamy to win

his son Boologham...

...took a vow, with austerity

during 'Mayana kollai' festival

More than the fighters, the sons

Boologham and Arumugam...

...rooted for their respective dads

Until the 7th round,

our man took the punches

The match took a turn

for the worse after that

Faaather!

Finally when Mariappan was announced

the winner, it was end of the world

After hearing about

Munusamy's death...

...we all went to Mariappan's area

and destroyed everything!

Commercial boxing held in

Tamil Nadu is no longer a sport

But an outlet for

violence and enmity

This court orders a ban on

boxing tournaments in our state

'Not wanting this traditional

sport to be wiped out totally...'

'...Independence Boxing

contest will be telecast'

'...in your Future Sports channel'

'Representing Tamil Nadu is Iron Man

Rasamanickam's heir Arumugam'

'And Boologham is the heir of

Natural medicine master's clan'

'They are the sons of

the boxers who fought...'

'...20 years ago which

culminated in riots'

'Arumugam is son of

Mariappan who won'

'This is Boologham,

son of boxer Munusamy...'

'...who committed suicide

after losing to Mariappan'

'This is Boologham's father-'

Hey, who gave you permission

to film my father's grave?

Will you trespass into my space

by showing it to the whole world?

That too wearing shoes

Turn off the camera

'The winner of this match has to box with

the current Indian champion, Guru Dayal'

'Indian champion has to

then face the World champion'

'Who is that world boxer?'

'Battling for power

boxing championship...'

...on your 'Future Sports channel'

In 5 years, this has to become

India's #1 channel, that's for sure!

One of the prominent channels

in the world, that's our goal

This tournament is

a toddler step to achieve it

But it is too local, sir

Already amateur boxing has

spread all over the world

But without

much viewership

This is not a show fight

like you're thinking

When boxing is conducted

anywhere in the world...

...1 opponent wants to knock out

the other to become the winner

Whereas here, the second

they enter the ring...

...Boologham, with a frenzy

wants to kill Arumugam

And Arumugam with the same

fury wants to kill Boologham

Because it's a family feud

A killer-rage!

We must turn this heated

killer rage into hard cash

But when we spoke

with the agencies...

...they claim the marketing

scope is very limited

Only local products get sponsors

They believe it's impossible to

approach multinational products

You're talking without

understanding the world market

Walmart itself has come to

our country to sell betel leaf!

Instead of selling

100 cars per day,...

...selling 1000000 shampoo

packets is more profitable

To take the sachet market

to the slum level...

...they are the heroes

For example, Tamil Nadu

has 15 million families

Among them, 10 million families

buy a bundle of spinach per day

1 bundle spinach

costs only Rs 5

But per day spinach

business is Rs 50 million

Per month Rs 1500 million

Yearly it is Rs 18000 million

So if you grab the business from

the old lady selling spinach...

...and sell it to a corporate,

calculate the profit you'll make!

Today, all huts can

afford television sets

So ditch the bungalows

and focus only on the huts

Get the most

from these huts

But it's not easy

to handle the goons

Right, it's not like

Tendulkar and Sania Mirza

We are not equipped for it

This can't be done by you

and me who are educated

We can't do it

even if we try

This can be carried out only

by those who understand them

And who move with them

This is Mr Thiruvengadam

He's our boxing coordinator

Thiruvengadam, tell us

how you intend handling...

...Arumugam and Boologham

Boologham and Arumugam are

decent and professional individuals

They both exercise daily for

6 hours and follow a strict diet

-I'm responsible for them

-Now we understand, sir

We'll start promotion

and marketing now

20 years ago Munusamy

Boologham's father...

...ashamed about losing

the match committed suicide

This fight will also be held on

the same Maha Sivarathri night

Spray water

Why did you spray water?

He only said if you sweat,

it will appeal more

You want sweat, right?

I belong to the working class

I believe in real sweat

Will you click

the photo properly?

He's not an actor

He'll split you into pieces

He worked out

So he's sweating

Why are you sweating

when you only gaped at him?

Come on, click

If he's little angry,

it'll be perfect

Boologham, he wants you to be

a little angry, to be realistic

Little more

Some more anger it seems

Boologham, think about

your opponent this Saturday
