What is the use of answering?

Why?

He already has enmity towards me

The whole town knows it

He will not believe

anything I say

It is not important

who believes what

We have to find the truth

Then I will tell you

He is lying

He must have seen

someone else

Because right from 8 am on 1st of March

till the 2nd, we were at Nanjangud

No, sir

I am very sure it was

definitely him who I saw

Now tell me in detail,

the events that happened...

...from 1st morning

to 2nd evening

We left in a private bus

at 5:
30 am

When you returned

it was raining heavily, right?

My wife and kids got wet in the rain

and that's why they fell sick

The children have not

gone to school for 2 days

Since there are bills to prove all this

something is really fishy here

This is the 1st time I'm meeting a person

who preserves even his bus ticket

We live very economically

We don't have money sources

like bribes and commissions

When expenses go up...

...we have to examine our accounts

to see where we can reduce

That's why I collect all bills

How much area

is your property?

4 acres, sir

Come on, get into the jeep

I am so stupid

I blurted out the date

before they asked

Since you showed them the bills

They believe you, don't they?

Those evidences prove we were fools

to believe you and question them

lam saying the truth, sir

Just arrest and deal with him good

and proper at the station, he will talk

Let us inform the IG first

All nonsense!

Sir, do as I say

Let us make him talk

and then inform the IG

Dad?

Will the police

come here again?

Yes, they will

- What is his name?

- Rajendran Ponnappa

Was it he who drove

the car away?

Yes

Are you sure it was

my son's car?

I did not seethe number

But it was the same color

He claims they had

gone out on 1st and 2nd

He is lying

In support of that, he has

shown us, all the bills and tickets

Yes sir

But we don't know for sure

how authentic they are

That will not be

difficult to find out

After all he is an ordinary villager

And that too uneducated

His cleverness will not stand

a chance against our brains

- Ma'am...

- Don't waste time talking

Tomorrow, he has to come here

with his wife and children

Got it?

No need for protocol

I can check it out myself

- Bopaiah

-What?

The police have taken our Rajendra

and his family into custody

How did you go to Nanjangud?

We left here in

a private bus at 5:30 am

Why didn't you buy the tickets?

The bus conductor is

a friend of my husband

Even when we insisted, he refused

to take money or give tickets

When did you

reach the retreat center?

8:
30...the retreat had begun

before we got there

We reached there by 8:30,

the retreat had begun by then

When did you reach

the retreat center?

Even if we say everything

the same way, it may be a problem

For example, the question of time...

Your mother and I will tell

them the correct time

But you're kids, you can

tell them the wrong time

I don't remember the exact time

But the retreat had started

by the time we reached

At what time did the retreat

start in Nanjangud?

The retreat had started

by the time we reached

But your parents say the retreat

started half an hour after you reached

The police will twist the same question

in many ways to confuse you

But you mustn't get confused

Understand the question

and then answer

No madam, the retreat had

started before we got there

Move away

No one in front of the gates

Don't you understand?

- Let us in

- Hey get lost

What happened, Bopaiah?

They won't let anyone in

They've thrown us all out!

Open the gate!

That is my daughter, son-in-law,

and children inside, let me in

Not without permission

from the higher authorities

Then we had food

Which hotel?

I don't remember the name

0k, do you remember

what you ate?

Biryani

Your father, mother, sister,

everyone ate biryani?

Yes, they too had biryani

But your sister said

you had fried rice

The police will lie about

what your mother and I say

...they will try to confuse you

Don't believe them, and don't change

your answer no matter what

They must have forgotten

We all had biryani

I remember very clearly

- Mr Ravishankar

-Yes, ma'am

Hello, what? No...no

Who said so?

All lies, it's nothing

lam in a meeting

I'll call you back

It's some TV channel

They have

received rumors...

...that we have arrested

a family about our son

They are asking if we

are interrogating them

Just leave it!

Mr Ravishankar,

what do you think about it?

It's not as easy

as we thought it would be

They're all very tough

They have similar answers

They are also very firm

about their answers

Especially the little girl

She is tremendous

That's it!

The child's statement is so strong

Isn't that unusual?

I too suspect the same

What if they are telling

the truth and you are wrong?

No, no

One thing is true

They know something

about Tarun

But their statement-

It's a cooked up story!

This is their fiction

But it won't sell here

Madam, we know

they are lying

How about a lie detector test?

Who made you a policeman?!

It's not something we can

do when we feel like it

We will need a court order

So, we'll get one

See Chandra, we must prove to

the court that they are lying

But here the evidence

supports their statement

I have an idea to poke

holes in their story

Ask all the characters

of the story to come here

Yes, ma'am

One more thing, If he didn't go

to the retreat on March 1st...

...he must have been in the village

He must have gone to his office

Does he have

any frequent haunts?

Yes, madam

He regularly visits the tea shop

opposite the station

Very good! Get the teashop owner

and his office staff immediately

Done!

One more thing, let them feel

we believe their story

You got it?

Sure, ma'am

To tell the truth, I was scared

when I faced the police

But God has

saved us somehow

It's all over

Seet ha

Nothing is over

They'll come again

They'll come again? Why?

Can't you at least tell me

what the problem is?

Shekar, all families

have some secrets

Don't ask me about that

But I need your help

Okay, tell me what to do

I well known Rajendra

from a young age

He is very innocent

Very good man

I didn't ask for his

character certificate

Just answer the questions correctly

On the 1st of March, how many times

did Rajendra come to your shop?

He usually comes twice

Once for tea in the evening

And then for food at night

Sometimes he doesn't

come at night

Hey, just answer the questions

you are asked

How many times did Rajendra

visit your shop on March 1st?

March 1st

he came twice

No...no

I am mistaken

Rajendra wasn't in

the village on the 1st

He had gone to some

retreat in Nanjangud

Why didn't you say that before?

Forgive me sir,

I suddenly remembered

Even last week he was

talking about the retreat

What did Rajendra say

about the retreat?

If a man needs to

overcome a situation...

...if he is hasty it is of no use
