and stole it for you

Why do you want this?

When I make a family subject movie,

I can use this as reference

- It's a nice dress

- New dress

- You bought it or stole it?

- Our company only steals Sarees

Policies, huh?

"The seed of love is sown"

"These are too expensive"

"Now we leave it to time"

"For the side it grows"

"When the beauty of

the land falls in love"

"The rage of bull is instigated"

"And when the seasonal flowers blossom"

"The legendary bull fights begin"

He too was once a big shot

What are they doing together?

Wastrel keeps company

with the wastrels

"While the king is still getting ready"

"The queen could hardly wait"

"As the drama carries

on in its own pace"

"The wait has become

too unbearable"

"She is caught in her own trap"

"In too deep, happily stuck"

Rain! You!

Me! Ilayaraja!

Haiku!

Awesome

In a caste dispute-

How dare you talk about her?

No photos, you stupid

"The lone lady is enthralled"

"And caught up in the web of love..."

Is Taj Mahal back drop ok?

Change to some foreign places

Bombay, London, Paris and likes

She wants to visit those places

Is it so?

- What's her name?

- Ganga! Daughter's name is Sri Priya

- Love marriage?

- Yes

Why do you feel shy for that?

Sethu brother is calling me

Hello...!

Tell me, brother

Ya, I'm nearby

I'll be there immediately

Sethu himself is calling me

Why?

We are going to kill

someone tonight

Who is that?

What for?

I am not sure who

But am sure some

big person is the target

They usually don't call me

for such big assignment

Other day, I stood up for myself

this is my returns for that

Is it?

Just wait for 10 minutes

I'll be back

Make it fast, I need to hurry

Hey, where have you kept

the black box that was in my bag?

It's in the other room, why?

We've got a great opportunity today

They are going to kill someone

And this dumbo is also

involved in that

And we can listen

to that incident live

Be clear! I've lot of

clothes to wash still

My Reporter uncle

gave me this spy mic

This audio transmitter is

to spy on people

I can stick this device to anything

Then we can listen to what they speak

Clearly through this

receiver from a distance

Clear reception for at least 1KM wide

You sound exactly like

a tele shopping sales girl

What are you going to do with this?

We can see photos too?

Photos, songs, movies...

Everything

This is amazing

You wanted to show pictures

to your wife, right?

Yes

Take it tonight

and return it tomorrow

So I'll take it

Thanks bro!

- You'll return it, right?

- Hey, you can trust me

Bye

Come fast

Let's check

- Hi brother

- Come

Sethu brother himself called

What's the matter?

You cried for not calling you

for big projects, right?

So come and watch a big project

To watch, I dreamt big for tonight

Who is the target?

- Sekar

- Sekar!

- Who is Sekar?

- Sekar is Sethu's rival for decades

We suspected him all these days

We have closed all other suspects

So we are killing Sekar tonight

He is always guarded

He is in politics too

He has got an affair with someone

living in SS Colony 7th street

Every Friday he settles there

- Do you know this place?

- Yeah!

No security

Today is Friday

His gang is also cornered

All his guys number

would be switched off

So what's the plot?

Three of our men has

surrounded the streets

They alerted us when

Sekar entered the house

Oh, he is already in the house?

Kasi has studied the house for a while

Then punctured his vehicles

And waiting on the backyard to watch him

SS colony is a large area

But I have a friend's house there

Let's go and sit in the terrace

Let's start now

We won't get signal if we start now

We won't know their next steps

We will leave after them

What's the time now?

12:
30!

We've half hour to go

Go fill the fuel

- He's going to the main road

- Let's go

Sekar brother, important information

They have plotted

to kill you tonight

We'll be there in 30 minutes

He's speaking to Sekar

- What are you saying?

- You are in SS colony, right?

Yes

There are 3 people watching

you from your street corner

What's happening?

You're right

They have flattened

your car tires

The back gate is locked too

He has leaked the entire plan

Its a perfect plan! Sorry

I got the news late

Just escape somehow

Let the lights and TV be on

be careful while you escape

They're watching you from outside

Don't try to bring your guys

They're all trapped too

He played a perfect double game

Thought him to be an idiot

He's been spying on Sethu

You've just got 30 minutes to escape

This is a mega twist

See, he is leaving

Follow him fast

Follow him quick

Brother

No police vehicle

It's just an ambulance, you can come

- Can you hear him?

- Wait...

Can hear now

Looks like no one is in the house

Break it

Sethu has reached

He fled the house

Sekar has escaped

What were you all doing?

We were alert, no one

went out of the house

What about the ambulance?

We thought some emergency

case in the neighborhood

He fled by the ambulance

Sekar is a brilliant

fellow I guess

He made a fool of Sethu himself,

better you take Sekar's as movie

So he fled the place

despite all of you

That too in an ambulance

Why is he laughing?

Sekar is brilliant

Isn't it Sounder?

We can still catch

that ambulance, brother

For what? We've already

caught the prey

The plot is not for Sekar

It's for you

Rushing into everything

You want to fly even

before you got wings

When we recited the plot to you for

the first time, you should have sensed it

You've a lot to learn Sounder

Who is brilliant now?

Sethu is a master mind

This is a brilliant scene for my movie

He is just caught red-handed

A dumb fellow

What are they gonna do to him?

So you have played double-game on us?

Getting hit

I just agreed to let him know

if there is a plot for him

Please believe me, bro

You are like my hero

He took care of my monthly family expenses

That's why I agreed

I just need to inform the plot that's it

Nothing else brother

Listen to me

Pardon me once

Please speak out Rasu brother

I beg you, bro

He just shot him

He killed Sounder

Sethu, we trapped him like a mouse

Sekar, watching Titanic?

Seem like you are doing

a research with films these days

Looking handsome

- Looking good?

- Believe me, Sethu

I didn't send him to kill you

Just a safety net for me

Why do you build over and over?

He shot Sekar too

Let's leave now

I am scared

Die...!

Why do you think I called you all

to catch these two silly dastards?

Think well before

you plot against me

Take that

Let's go now

Come on

Some MP3 player

To listen songs

Let's go now

Take these dogs to our farm and

Burn them to ashes

Brother, there is a mic stuck on this

There is someone spying you

It should be this dog, Sekar

- I don't think it's him

- Then?

This will work only in close proximity

Its no use to him

Also, why did he wait

until Sounder called?

He could have fled while
