would have laughed at it?

Do I look funny?

Till now it was working

Anyone else got a light?

That's why snatched this

Do you?

Even if he has, it would

be wet by now

Hey, get the tools

Brother, I'll kill him

Why are you in such a hurry to kill?

You have not been around that long,

first watch and learn

- One step at a time

- Okay, brother

Thank God!

All that petrol would be wasted

'Sleeping Truth' by 'Hidden Tiger'

Truth hurts, do you know that?

Especially the truth of peeping

into my house will hurt like hell

Hey he may be a psycho

Not may be, he is actually a psycho

I am going to Madurai and

making a movie on Sethu's life

All the Madurai talk strikes a bell

on someone in our college

'Oorni'

Stop

That lady is my customer

That white shirt man

is my customer

That blue T-Shirt guy,

he's my customer

Look! He is staring at me

Move aside

He is mine, move along

I said I don't need an auto

Give back my bag

Just shut up and come with me

Brother is waiting for you

Hello, I think you have mistaken me

Shut up and come

Just give me my bag

I'll leave

He is my guy

You got scared?

Were you gonna pee in your pants?

Ganesh you shouldn't have

threatened him a lot

How long it's been since college

Should make a grand appearance, right?

Then why all of a sudden to Madurai?

Hey why are you settling down?

Dude, I am your guest

What plan you have come?

Take bath, let's visit

the temple and then my shop

Let's have lunch at Amma mess and then

you can board the train back home tonight

Oorni, just for a month! Will write

a story about Sethu and I'll leave

They are all cold blooded murderers

We can't go close to them

Let them be

You need to

take risk in life to succeed

Risk?

I am gonna have a kid in 5 months, that

itself makes my mark in the risk factor

Shame on you

So, that's your achievement in life?

That is what most men

achieve in their life

And that is enough for me

Are you even listening?

Leave my bag

I got this only for you!

All right, forget the night train

Leave early tomorrow

Don't you understand

It's for your sake

Sethu and his gang are

extremely dangerous...

...violent people

There are plenty of subjects

untapped in movies

I have a couple of stories

Hear me out

Is it true?

Will I actually look good on-screen?

I'm actually a stage performer

at school! Not sure of big screens

Will I look good?

Second hero?

- Don't mock me dude

- Am serious

Am I a hero material?

You will make me act, right?

Is Sethu that big a deal?

Is he impossible to reach?

Is he such a big-wig?

Superb!

We start our movie work first

thing tomorrow morning

Start it...and kill it

Get on board

- Who is he?

- Friend bro!

Even you're not telling anything bro

Dude, he is Sethu

Don't look at him

In this city,

Sethu is a brand

Happy birthday

To Sethurayan

Brother, greetings

An underworld don,

A political weapon, A Kingmaker

An Establishment by himself

You expect us to not to react?

Sir we didn't start anything

I have just closed down

what he started

Sir we didn't start anything

They murdered my brother last month

It's tit for tat, now its tallied

- Chopped his hand?

- That too in a dreadful way

- Friend bro

- Welcome

- He should have been killed 5 years ago

- How did it happen?

Rasu

Surround him

Kill him

What happened?

Sethu, are you alright?

Sethu's best ally is Rasu

Sethu's school friend,

Now his Right-hand

Been with him since Sethu started

Sethu's prime weapon in field

He will stare at everyone, will

hit anyone who stands up to him

A hardcore alcoholic,

his only weakness

After Rasu, its Senthil

Half of Madurai is deaf

because of his slaps

Dumb but yet a strong weapon

A foodie

Strange for a gangster

A teetotaler who doesn't stare at a girl

A family attached gangster

A great devotee

His only weakness...

Soft porn!

A movie a day keeps him awake

A hardcore film buff

After them the next

alarming person is Palani

Petty-shop Palani

The public is scared to

go even near his shop

Bores the entire crowd to death

with his most annoying stories

Mastered the art of killing

through story-telling

Been in this area since Sethu's birth

A one-stop-shop for Sethu's history

Some confidence and a whole lot

of patience can crack this weapon

Sethu is very dangerous

I can't get close to him directly

He is like a lion

Nearing him will kill us

We have got 3 monkeys to near him

Rasu

- What do you want to eat?

- Get me some eggs

Senthil

Boys, do check

if they'll play all the scenes

Don't waste money

Palani

He shouldn't know we are

here to make a film on him

If he gets to know...

We are dead

You took all these days to find that?

I told you that on Day-1

It's takes a lot of work and

effort to write Sethu's script

My only support in this

dangerous mission is...

The future superstar of Tamil movies,

our movie's second hero 'Oorni'

Use this trump card always

Let's see how you keep up

- They are calling you, bro

- Wait, I'll be back

There are 3 weapons that

I can use for my mission

Rasu...Senthil...Palani

So how did Sethu became the Sethu?

That's the question

Sethu...I'm waiting!

See in that top rack

I'll take this

Hello, come on...why

do you snatch all sarees that I choose?

Mind your words

I'll cut your tongue

I've come to take sarees of my choice

Not to snatch the ones

chosen by some fool

Dullard

Mind your tongue

I'll show you who I am

How dare you call me like that

Please be quiet

Why do you quarrel unnecessarily?

- Please don't quarrel

- Mind your business

- Excuse me, your bag is open

- Thanks

I remember seeing you somewhere

Me...I am a film director

You should've seen me in TV shows

Oh...Ok

We came first...you've to

give that saree to us

I saw it first

There are 2 sarees missing

Are you ladies creating a scene

and ransacking our store?

What, do we look like

petty thieves to you?

Didn't I tell you then

let us go for another shop?

But you didn't listen

Let's go

For a month's interest,

he'll scold for 3 months

Dude, someone has stolen 2 sarees

Very well, this is what happens

to those who cheat me

This happens frequently?

They steal from here and sell it

at installments at a lower rate

All those ladies are partners-in-crime

Perfect planning and execution

That's their profession

We should show this as

a scene in our movie

Hello Ramesh bro,

Seems to be very busy nowadays

Came for shopping with my friend

Do you want it?

We'll not go to the court

But we want all our

proposition to be sealed

Else, I'll have to take a tougher route

Don't make a fuss about it

Brother, I think it's a good proposition

Probably we can get away

with the rice mill

Keep quiet

Let's get this done right away

Let's not blew it up

- Okay

- Let's finish it

Take everything except the rice mill

And ask your party to pay

Rs 4 million instead

My party will give only 3 Million...not 4

Let's finish it

We'll finish the registration
