you planned this plot

It's someone else

close to the house

Only police or reporters use this mic

They are going to kill us now

I told you not to get in to this

I think he might be still listening

Let's go somewhere...please

Wait, let me think

There is no escape

Even the SI warned us

Let's go

Hey!

The idiot at the other end listening

Whoever you is...

Listen carefully

You will be dead in an hour...

...with my own hands

Let's just run from here

Definitely they'll kill us

Ruthless killers

My whole life...

Hurry up, there is

no time to cry

They might not have suspected us

They will be behind

Ganesh and gang

Let's run before it's late

We'll leave tonight

Where...where will I go?

I am going to die without

even seeing my kid

Don't get scared, we can talk later

Let's pack and leave

Come on Oorni

Let's go!

They are not breaking the silence

Every one we catch

are like terrorists

Why keep bothering them,

just kill them

They are here

to keep an eye on us

Don't know whether they are

police or some other gang

They are police Bro

Look they have got the case file,

as well tracked us with a mic

Definitely Police

What are you contemplating bro?

Let's kill them quick and go home

Have to take my dad

to the hospital in the morning

Ok then you start now,

We'll take care

Ok bro, I'll leave now

Please tell them the truth

They will burn us alive

if we tell the truth

If you don't

are they gonna treat us?

They think we are a policemen

Do tell the truth

Look at these spy faces

Okay

Finish them

Get the tools

They will kills us

Please tell the truth

What are you guys murmuring?

Speak out loud

- We are not police

- Then...?

I came here to write a story

What story?

- A movie script

- He is a director

Ohh you are

a cinema director?

Sethu brother please believe me

A producer found me

I came to do research...

...to watch you in person

Make your life a movie

What did you say?

Gonna take a movie based

on your life story

About my life?

Hence came to write

a story here

That's why I spied you

Movie?

Like the one

which comes in TV

Reality shows, following criminals

No, It's like Godfather,

Scarface, something like that

How can I believe you?

Mahesh is also a good boy

How many times

should I tell you?

Good

But the movie duration is less

They are short films

But your story

would be a feature film

Big film, right?

If you need some information

you should have come directly

Why all these unnecessary spy

stuffs, get yourself hurt

You burnt a reporter alive

for writing about you

That's why?

He is a reporter

who writes the truth

That is very dangerous

You are gonna make a movie

Like Godfather, Scarface

It will be good to see

my story in theatres

What you say guys?

Yes brother

Hereafter any information

you need, just ask me

Because it's our film

A film about me

Guys...they belong to our gang

Let's Start

Just a minute

No...

Just be casual

- Don't want this?

- Nope

Rolling!

You tell, I am feeling uneasy

I can't do that

- At least you narrate

- I can't do that

What is this?

You feel different to narrate

in front of the camera

I'll get the other phone,

we can do a voice recording

That's alright

First time before camera...

What should I say?

Today you're big shot

When and where did it all started?

Say that

Right from my childhood,

my dreams, ambition...

...vision everything

is being a Gangster

During my 3rd standard we had

a stage drama in our school

Panchali Sabatham

I am Droupathi

Durchathanan removes my saree

and Krishna failed to hold my saree

I stood as a shameless goose

in front of everyone

All those guys around

me laughed at me

I can never accept

anyone mocking me

That's when I got

powered up and beat them

- No...no

- Sethu, let him go

Out of fear, when everyone

paves way for us-

You'll feel a high

Once you've felt it,

you can never get over it

That's where it all started

From then you beat

for every reason...

...and beat every person

School issues, college issues,

and area issues...

Ego issues, Issues between

two gangs, in this race...

We din't even have time to

sleep, we were more into issues...

...problems and fights

till a point of time

Most of them turned to rogue

because of a love story

Even our life had a twist,

because of his love story

During our college days

To see your lover in their locality...

...is like a war mission

One day when he went to see his lover,

her brother caught us red handed

Who are they?

Finish it quick,

they're coming here

Let's leave now

You want us to run and hide

- Who is her brother?

- The one with the black scarf

Who are you?

You're from Jaihindpuram

locality, right?

Yes

What the damn

are you doing here?

He came to drool

with his sister

I came to beat black and blue

if anybody talk rude with us

You think you're a big...

At that time that locality had

a big rogue named Murugan

I've never seen him before

What's the problem guys?

These guys have come

to meet my sister

I just asked him

but he is trying to hit me

Which locality you guys are from?

Is it Jaihindpuram?

Yes

Won't your locality

have any girls?

We've got lot of women there

But we heard there isn't any men here

You...?

He struck Murugan

Let's run away

That incident took my name

and reputation to next level

Then had a peace talk

with murugan group

I apologised

and we closed that chapter

But I made

a mark on his face

When he sees that mark on mirror

he will always remember me

People like us, we never settle

Are you Sethu?

You scarred Murugan's face

Do you think yourself

to be a big shot?

Don't mess with me

Hereafter if I get to

hear any news about you,

I myself will kill you

Look at his face

We can't live here

opposing Shanmugham

So...

- Let's move away now

- Did they beat you?

Yes

Sir...come and see this

Both of them

are lying dead here, sir

Stay there

Don't come close

Is it Murugan?

Murugan as well

My death is not in his hands

I stabbed that

rogue to death

There they are, catch them

Move...move away

That's my first execution

But a big and best execution

You become a gangster,

only by killing someone

Way of execution

and the number of murders

Determines his respect,

worth and everything

Every murder is

like a medal of honour

So far how many?

You alone did 18

We all together did

- I am 13

- Me 5

I am 4

All together 48

Totally 48 murders

If we would have killed you both,

we could have celebrated the half century

What do you say?

Great escape

Then what happened?

What happened?

We both were taking each

other group members lives

In the name of revenge

Then spending a lot of money to get

ourselves out of police cases

Again to earn money getting

us involved in,

High interest rates lending,

politics, fruit market lease etc...

To safeguard us we kill 4 enemies

In turn they're

waiting to kill us

Our job runs like this
