Yeah.

Luckily we escaped.

l heard a noise last night.

Was it a bear?

- That's not a bear.

- Did you hear it also?

Yeah.

What was it?

l don't know.

lt's sometimes heard at night.

Don't you knowwhat it is?

- Could it be an owl?

- No. No one knom what it is.

What could it be?

lt sounded like breath right?

Yeah! What's that?

Kaattumooli.

Sameera!

l'm sure we came

this way yesterday.

-ls it?

-Yes!

Ask him, Sameera.

Why don't you ask?

l'll ask.

Stalin!

Didn't we come this

way yesterday?

There are some places

IeR to see around here.

Why didn't you show

them to us yesterday?

You decided to

go to the Bear's den.

We should search this

place thoroughly.

This is a good sign.

Exactly what l said.

l don't think it has anything

to do with the treasure.

Why?

According to the stoy, the gold was

hidden during the time of Tipu Sultan.

That is not so long back.

About 200 years ago maybe.

These are at least

5000 years old.

So?

So there's no connection.

l don't get your logic.

Think about it.

There are other places too.

- Other places?

-Yeah.

Many more places around herel

You're sure to like them.

So you've come here before?

l haven't come here.

l've come nearby.

What do you mean

you didn't come here?

Why are you taking us to places

when you knowthere's nothing?

But l've never come here

Iooking for a treasure.

Then?

lt's a forest.

There are lots of reasons.

What are we here for no

We all know.

Why do you keep asking?

You once said you don't like going

to places where eveyone goes.

But that's exactly what

we're doing now.

- Didn't he like the place?

- Doesn't matter.

What's the problem?

Come, l'll tell you.

What's the point in going

to the same place eveyday?

He says that's the

only way to Thalakaani.

Only one way?

l doubt it.

We have to believe

him if he says so.

Why does he want us

back here evey night?

He told us that

in the beginning.

Howstupid!

ls this the only place

in the forest with water?

Balan Pillai already

warned me about him.

Balan Pillai warned us of

many other things as well.

Why don't you talk to him?

Let's shift to another place.

- But there's a problem.

-What?

Kannan refuses to come there.

My dear Sameera,

they're cooking up stories!

That's it!

It's time to return.

There's still time left. We only

need to get back before nightfall.

That's not the point.

We need to find a way out.

- It won't work otherwise.

-You tell me.

You should talk to Kannan.

We can't do eveything

according to his convenience.

Can we go without Kannan?

Let him stay here.

lt's only a matter

of 2-3 days.

We can't leave him alone

at night. That's different.

You shouldn't have brought

him in the first place.

l had told you earlier.

Thalakaani is not for the night.

Whatever!

Let's do one thing.

Let's split into two.

And?

Two of us will go. And one of

us will stay with Kannan.

Ho

Either l stay with Kannan

or you stay.

Let Stalin stay here.

We'll go.

That's not possible.

We need Stalin.

l don't mind staying here.

Do you want me to go?

Stay here ifyou want to rest.

Kannan will take care of you.

l'll go and come.

Please ask him once more.

What if he agrees to come.

Don't ask him again.

He won't come.

Then l'll go.

You stay here.

It's betterthat l go.

l don't want you to go alone.

l won't be alone.

There's Stalin.

No, Sameera!

l'll go.

Are you ready?

We'll go.

-Are you sure?

- Of course!

- It's betterthat l go.

- l'm not sure about that.

l wanted you to come.

But it's alright.

l'll go.

He's so excited.

ls there any fish?

- Did they ask you anything?

-Yeah.

What did they ask?

She asked me if

l could go to Thalakaani.

- Didn't you say you won't go?

-Yeah.

Then what did she say?

She said it's ok if l'm scared.

Someone will stay with me.

l wouldn't have come

ifyou'd told me earlier.

That's why l didn't tell you.

When are we going back?

We'll go after showing

him a few more places.

We'll be out of food by then.

- There's a lot of grain left.

- Don't you wory. We'll finish it.

Tell them you're also scared.

Why do you want to go there for nothing?

- It's not for nothing.

- This is all for nothing.

lt's your people that talk

about the treasure.

That may be true.

But no one can get it.

Our ancestors guard

it even today.

They'll rob us off

our Souls ifwe go there.

We'll return hollowmen.

- Who told you this?

- Kaali Uncle.

Must be some truth in it!

lt's ok.

He's not as bad as you think.

That's not the problem.

l wish you were with me.

When you find the treasure,

don't forget my share, okay?

Don't tease me.

l might even find it.

Have you read 'TheAlchemist'?

No. Why?

lt's about a man who

goes in search of a treasure.

And, does he find it?

l won't reveal the end.

He must not have found it.

That's why you thought of it now.

- That's not the reason.

- Then?

There's a mist in the stoy.

What's that?

He discovers something when he reaches

his destination aRer a long journey.

What?

That the treasure lay

where his journey began.

Hey, take care of her.

We're going to have a terrific

time aRer you go. Right?

Alright then.

Bring us something special

when you come back.

One more thing...

Mark your path so that

you don't forget the way.

Take some photos too.

Relax.

Don't risk your life for anything.

No treasure is worth your life.

-When will they come back?

- Leave it to them.

They might come tomorrow.

How do you know?

- Did Stalin tell you anything?

- No.

What will we do ifthey come

back with hollow bodies?

lt's a bison!

Costs 600 Rs. A kilo.

-We're looking for...

- Shhh!

What we're looking for costs

25 Lakh Rs per kilo.

Let's leave this and

Iook for that treasure.

Who did you say sawthe treasure?

-Aaramkallu Murugan.

-Where did he see it?

l don't know.

Could be in a cave.

They're usually good

to hide things.

l'm sure it will be in

a totally unexpected place!

Do you have any expectations?

What kind of a

question is that?

Sometimes l feel you're

not serious about it.

Howcan we not be serious?

We're risking our lives.

Really?

l'm notjoking.

You'll realize yourself soon.

Aunty!

Don't wory.

l've known her

since l was a kid.

Why are you blocking the way?

We need to cross.

Come on, move out.

Run!

Stalin, why the hell

did you do that?

She's harmless, Sir.

Just playing around.

Did you get scared?

Let's go.

Come on, Sir.

Are you tired?

Do you have more water?

l have some.

Stalin!!

Look at this!

Do you understand?

- This is..--

- Look carefully.

-A knife?

- No, a sword!

lt's a part of an ancient

sword. Look at it!

We needn't go anywhere else!

We have arrived at our destination!

We're lucky! Or else

we wouldn't find it here.

This is awesome!!

We needn't look back again.

Let's praiseAaramkallu Murugan

and get moving!

Sir... Iet's go.

Go where?

This is the place!

You still don't believe me?

Listen.

We'll stay here.

We can't stay here.
