Imsai Arasan 23 M Pulikesi Page #8

---

who came here for a living?

Beggars...?

But you paid tax all these days.

Yes, that's a mistake.

lf you've any loyalty forthis country

which gave you prosperity,

return back the tax money

which l had paid you till now.

Arrogance?-Justice!

Someone has poisoned your mind.

Nobody can poison my mind since

l'm the master of my will.

Pulikesi, itching to wage a war?

- l'm warning you.

Okay. Forget it Pulikesi.

We both lost cool in hot temper.

When will you pay the tax?

Now or later?

Do you think l will dance to yourtunes?

l will never ever pay tax to you.

Even Kattabomman refuses to pay tax.

Why won't you pay tax?

How dare you ask me to pay tax?

Why should we pay levy?

What share do you have in our produce?

When we sweated it out in ourfields,

you were busy hunting animals in forest.

When we watered our crops,

you were busy taking sun bath...

nude sun bath.

When we had no waterfor our crops,

you were busy drinking liquor

in the Himalayas under woolen rugs.

How dare of you ask us to pay tax at the

time of harvest, you shameless beggars?

Pulikesi, l had already told you.

You need tax to run a government.

Do you know anything about

management rules?

We gave to this world ''Arthasashtra''

and ''Thirukkural''.

asking us about management, ah?

The rules you know about

management, tax & income.

l too know the sub-sections of these.

l know that tax is the backbone

of any government.

But the reason why l refuse to pay tax,

is that why should we pay to those

who came here for a living?

Like me, if everyone refuses to pay tax,

your empire will fall.

after we chase you out of this country,

we will correct the flaws in the system

and will rule ourselves.

So better leave this place.

l'm leaving Pulikesi.

But Collector 18th Edward is

a very angry man.

Tell him if he dares to steps into

my kingdom, he'll get beheaded.

You're going to face the tanks.

Our women are running short of washing

stones. Bring yourtanks.

Arrogance...?

Get out.

Pulikesi...- Get out, you foreigner!

Welcome...welcome...

Welcome Mr. Nixon...

Pulikesi...

Who are you to decide not to

pay tax to the British?

Address me with formal respect.

l'm the King.

l'm the Rajaguru.

Which means you are allowed to

speak when l need any advice.

So, you won't respect me, ah?

Just because l respect you,

l let the Englishman go.

Or else l would've broken his teeth.

You don't know about my true nature.

Threatening me?

What will you do?

You're nothing when compared

to my experience.

Your experience is nothing when

compared to my courage.

You never saw my true nature.

Only good men have another

side known as bad.

You can't have a good side, can you?

You will die.

Before that happens, l will destroy you.

Have you dared to destroy me, right?

Not only you,

anyone who betrays my motherland

will not be spared.

We'll meet again.

Certainly.

By God's grace, our king has reformed.

And he is ruling the country very well.

What? Which King?

Which King!? Our King Pulikesi.

You're asking this as if you don't know.

l heard that the King has gone an expedition.

Before he does some good to this country,

he won't go anywhere.

Shut up & do your work.

Forget about him.

Our King spoke to Anaiappar

regarding water, didn't he?

lt was a great feat.

Spoke to Anaiappar...?

Why are getting surprised to everything?

l'm eagerto know what all has happened.

Our king spoke to Anaiappar.

Stadium for communal clashes is closed.

Converted harem into a school.

Closed the soft drink factories

of Akkamala & Gup-C.

Robbers & thieves are rotting

in underground jails.

What else do you want to know, tell me?

Who did all these?

Our King 23rd Pulikesi.

He is getting surprised again & again.

Let me put this spear into his mouth.

- Stop it, please. Please go.

Mind your work.

Leave him. Let's go.

When l'm here...there..

The King is coming with Commander.

Let's go there, quick.

Every second we delay

we get closerto danger.

As planned, do what you are

instructed to do. Got it?

So, it is you who is helping him.

Ruling the Kingdom in my disguise.

You've made me fit for nothing.

You'll die today.

Welcome my lord.

Please take your seat.

Ukkiraputha...- Father.

Agandamuthu told me that

you're 23rd Pulikesi's twin brother.

You look very much like your brother.

My younger brother...

The truth about you twins was

nevertold to anyone.

Sangilimayan sent you in the river.

l was helpless.

On one hand, my mother is not well.

On the other hand, my brother Pulikesi

has become a wastrel.

Yes.

That's why ljailed him knowing

that he is my brother.

To reform him.

Poor boy Pulikesi.

He is a good man.

lt was time which paralyzed your mother.

lt was your uncle's treachery

which spoilt your brother.

Sangilimayan was close to the British,

hatched a plan to kill

yourfather Mokkayappan,

then Queen, your mother went to the battlefield

leading the army on King's orders.

She faced defeat.

Because of the defeat,

she was bed ridden for 12 years.

Unable to move from her chair.

Poor boy Pulikesi.

He was only a child.

He became a puppet in that demon's hands.

Pulikesi is my brother.

l must save him.

Be careful Ukkiraputha.

He doesn't know his own condition.

You are right.

Pulikesi...

You don't need to lift your sword, Commander.

l heard everything.

Brother...

l've a brother just like me.

My brother is the King of this country.

We are brothers.

We both lost a chance of

growing together.

We haven't lost it.

lf you realize your mistakes,

we can be achieve more

than what we had lost.

How can that be possible?

What do l have now to lose?

Brother...

lt's okay if this cuckoo was

brought up in a crow's nest.

lt was brought up in a eagle's nest.

And it is now a slave to the eagle.

Don't worry, my brother.

Forget it. You've corrected everything.

Why fear when you have a brother!

O God! Thank you very much.

l know that you both will unite.

How?

How...!? lt is easy to question me.

What else can a screenplay writer

think otherthan a re-union?

What?

l prepared your horoscopes.

Only l knew that you both

will unite in future.

Brother, let's decide as to

what has to be done.

l've a message that

Edward is coming tomorrow.

Guards! Get my clothes.

l'll unite revolutionaries and people

against the oppressive Rajaguru.

You go to the palace.- Okay.

Mother...

l'm ready to get punished

for insulting you.

l'll present you with a gift

tomorrow morning.

My lord...-Who is that?

Greetings my lord.

- Okay. What's the matter?

A small doubt...

There is nothing called small & big.

Knock my door even at night.

Tell me.

So, it was this.

For what & why?

Yes Mr. Collector, what they said is right.

Pulikesi has written a letter saying

that he won't come back.

Yes Mr. Collector.

Everything happened in

the blink of an eye.

A coward.

He planned but left the field midway.

lt was you who wrote that,
