My parents' relative John had given me this job.

In the evening they locked me in the factory's hostel room.

When I said I want to go home, they beat me a lot.

I have somehow escaped.

They will kill me if they saw me again. - No.

No one will see. Don't be scared.

Take her inside and feed her properly. Go. - Come.

Sridevi. - Yes. - Give me a shirt and a torch.

Video business is been done in a place.

And the great people are responsible for it.

Prostitution is being carried out in a 5 star hotel near town hall.

There a politician and a contractor..

..bring girls with promises of job.

And the great men in the world are its regular visitors.

And law protectors are standing as audience.

They are ignoring this even after knowing everything.

It is good. This is knows as clean news.

The writer has written for the one who should understand.

Precise and sharp.

The writer has shot the arrow sharply. Isn't it?

Where is that girl?

I will kill you if you came to me without that girl.

There is no use by bringing that girl.

Madhavan is our main enemy.

The matter has not ended here.

All the great men involved in prostitution will be published now.

Leave that to me. I will kill that dog and his newspaper.

You will smell of alcohol no matter how much you wear perfume.

You have lost your intelligence dealing in alcohol.

Pen is mightier than the sword.

You know that all this illegal business..

..is there because of my political power.

And that ordinary journalist wants to defame us by writing this.

No, I won't let that happen.

You think what we should do now?

Have we made all this just like this by taking so much risk?

I know how to work when the need arises.

Hello. Yes. I.K. - Have you read today's newspaper?

Yes. What can I do after it is being published?

I will tell you what you should do?

All right. I will do everything in the police way.

But if this matter goes to court?

Don't worry about the court. I will see.

Hello.

Hello, I am S.P. (Superintendent of police) R.V. Mohan.

Madhavan is not at home.

He isn't. I had to tell him one thing.

We investigated after the news was published.

What is the girl's name? Rosie.

We have arrested Johnny who had trapped her.

I have sent a constable there.

What happened if Madhavan is not at home?

You come to the police station with Rosie.

So that Rosie can recognise Johnny her in the police station.

But he is not at home.

So what madam. It is a matter of 10 minutes.

But it is difficult to bring that girl at once.

Now it is not right if people like you do this, madam.

Only people like you can write that the police don't work properly.

But no one comes to help the police.

There is no one to write about the police's problems.

Madam only you can tell me about that girl.

You will have to come here.

Otherwise Johnny's man will force fully take her from there.

And we won't be able to know the truth.

It is the matter of that innocent girl's honour.

All right, sir. We are coming.

Hello. Is this Amar press? Is Madhavan sir there?

The S.P. sir has called you to the police station.

Where have you brought us?

We have to take the girl's statement?

Do you recognise the criminal?

Yes.

Have you read today's newspaper?

Yes, I have. Madhavan's headline was great.

You will live for a hundred years. Where were you?

I had to go out for some important work.

Madhavan, where do you get all this news?

Your newspaper is being talked about everywhere today.

I have got a good response. - Hello. Yes, I will.

Madhavan, your call. - Yes. Hello.

Good morning. I am S.P. R.V. Mohan.

Good morning sir. - I had called to prise your work.

And yes you are worthy of congratulations.

How? - Your story today was shocking and revealing.

I didn't know even after I was here in the police department.

I am ashamed to admit that.

What is the use even if you knew.

Raid is going on there.

We didn't allow anyone to escape.

We have caught everyone.

I am giving this report first for your newspaper. Come here.

You will have a new story for tomorrow. Okay?

Where are you 2 going? Go inside.

Why are you misbehaving?

I have brought them to bear witness. - Talk to sir.

Sir? - Yes.

I have brought them as you said sir.

Go ahead. - Do I have to tell you separately? Go ahead.

Papa. - Yes.

Papa, where are you going? - I am going to take some important photos.

Shall I come too? - No, son. Go home.

No, I will come with you. - All right, come.

Have you sat properly? - We will meet tomorrow. Bye.

Papa, look mummy is there.

Sridevi.

Madhavan. - Where are you going?

Mummy.

Sridevi. - Come. - My son. - What is happening here?

Sir. - Yes. Hello Mr. Madhavan.

I have given you the headline for tomorrow. - Sir.

You have taken the photographs. You can publish it.

But she is my wife.

Really? Very bad.

What are you saying? My wife is here.

This is surely someone's ploy.

Ploy? What ploy?

Before writing in the newspaper..

..you should have thought that your wife is a prostitute.

I will take your life. I won't spare you.

No. no. Let papa go.

Don't beat my papa. Don't beat my papa.

Papa. - My son.

My son.

After going through the witnesses and proofs..

..the police has produced regarding this case these..

..prostitute women are termed guilty and kept in judicial custody.

This is the court's decision.

Sridevi.

My child.

Come. - Mummy.

Mummy.

My child. - Come. Go inside. - Mummy. - My son.

Come.

To tell the truth only one person is wise.

What would have happened to us if he had thought such an idea?

Have you drunk too much?

You shouldn't say this at all.

Now I will relax and drink.

What is the matter Mr. Menon?

What are you thinking?

Look, I am trying to convince my friend Menon since long.

But he is not strong like us. Not at all.

His heart is like wax. - Sir I know I have hurt your heart.

I am sorry for that. But I had no other way out.

Now have a drink. Please.

We had been too unjust in this case.

By the way I listened to you because I am also sinful.

But this is too much. Just too much.

Mr. Menon. Don't get worked up. Take it easy. I.K. - Yes.

1 minute.

Leave him. My subordinate is more tensed.

Head constable Chandra Naik. I don't trust him.

And I am scared too. - All right, call him.

Listen Chandra.

You? What is the matter?

He used to come thrice a day to get his daughter admitted in college.

And now no greetings at all. Good. Take, have a drink.

No, sir. - Drink. - No. -

You don't want to drink in front of your sir.

There is nothing like that. This is strictly unofficial.

No, sir. - What happened? Are you okay?

Or are you in confusion?

Still whatever happened to Madhavan was not right.

Even I am a part of this crime sir.. - Stop your nonsense.

Listen friend. He is absolutely right. We were not good.

By the way this is war tactics. To kill the enemy. Leave it.

You neither saw nor heard anything.

Your daughter will need a god job after her education.
