that pizza shop guy

He said he'll only pay 6,000!

Sun TV Kumar put

7,000 hard cash in my hand

It must be on the news already

Boss, the booze is on me

...and the side-dish is on you

I'm waiting!

Why is he still not here?

Hasty moron!

Why did you have to rush in to it?

Why are you hitting me?

I've kept your share safe

You've sold it for 7,000, stupid!

Do you know

how much he offered?

How much?

How much, boss?

Hundred thousand

Now it's all gone

One hundred thousand

Wanted to fool me, huh?

Did they hit you?

They beat me black and blue!

He took me for a dunce!

I'll show him

If we'd paid him off the first time around,

this wouldn't have gotten so complicated

But you didn't listen

I enquired at the news channel

They've just used it as a filler

No chance!

Do you think channels are that stupid?

They've left it at that

because the kids' faces aren't seen clearly

Once the boys are identified,

they'll blow it up!

Sir, what about your friend in

police department?

Tried everything

They're all after money

If we give 10, they want 20,

If we give 20, they want 40

Is this the time to be stingy?

They might cancel our shop license

Get up!

Stay out for sometime

He's my school friend!

He's tensed about something.

- Coming for interview?

- Yes sir

Excuse me, sir

Saw the news this morning

I know the kids' house

I've been there once before

Why did you go there?

Lost my way when I went

for a delivery, sir

Do one thing...

Go and bring the kids here

Okay sir

Idiot

You go with him!

Issues orders after screwing up...

Bring them here without

anyone's knowledge

Okay, sir!

How can we let it go, leader?

They've hit boys from our area!

And when I went to demand justice,

they hit me as well

And you went to demand justice...?

Yes, leader

He went all alone to

demand justice

They bashed him up!

We've applied turmeric on the

wounds on his back. See?

Show him!

Oh Jesus..

Organise our slum women

Okay, leader

We will do a protest

That will be great, leader

Just your presence is enough

I'll inform all the TV stations

and make it big!

Greetings, leader

See you, brother!

Leader, why let these petty guys

organise the protest?

Only if someone creates problems

can we politicians solve them!

Shall we talk to MLA?

Let's see what happens

Leader

Your phone is ringing

The pizza shop guy?

Yes, leader

Hello, sir!

How are you doing?

You must have heard everything

I did hear!

You could have come to me

when the issue was smaller...

The thing is..

Never mind!

We need to stop this immediately

Or they'll dig up everything

We won't allow that

It's all under my control

I'll make sure it ends

in your favour

This time, don't

pinch money, sir!

Be generous!

'Pizza Spot is a chain of

restaurants in Chennai'

'Footage of an employee of this

establishment assaulting two children...'

'...Who had come to buy pizza

has surfaced recently...'

Following this, this

incident has gained...

...a lot of attention

in the Internet

'It's is evident that the boys

had sufficient money to buy the pizza...'

'...And the reason for the attack

was that they were slum dwellers'

Sarasu, there's a protest tomorrow,

are you coming?

Only for a little while

They're giving 100 bucks

and a free meal

I've got work

What's it for?

Someone beat up our

slum kids it seems

Our area kids?

They must have done some

mischief, surely

You?

When has she ever come for all this?

Carry on.

I'll come if I can.

Okay, give me a heads up!

Ignored by society, almost 400 families live

in this part of the city

Over 600 children live with parents

who have no permanent source of income

On a quest to taste something

that has become the symbol of the good life

The boy who was assaulted,

also belonged to these slums

Many such hopes and dreams are stuck in

these five acres of land

For New Generation Network,

this is Gayathri with cameraman Ganapathy

What's up?

Naina was looking for you

Why?

Werent you beaten up at the pizza shop?

It even came on TV, I heard...

What happened?

Hey wait, don't scare them away!

So tiny but they do so much!

I need to call Naina

This one's crazy

You need to stop

hanging around with that Naina

Where's my phone?

How did we come on TV?

I don't know

Come back!

Take your money and go

They've left?

Need to get them soon.

Go faster

Be patient, sir.

We can get them

We could have at least come by car

Keep quiet, sir.

Stop nagging

Even bikes can't go there

Look... Look... Look...

When did they take a video of us?

- Back already?

- Machine broke down..

They gave us the day off

What a surprise!

Not watching TV...?

Mom-

What?

Nothing!

Something seems fishy here...

- Is the water flowing today?

- Yeah, it is

I'll do my very best, sir

Ok Sir!

OK:

You're complicating it unnecessarily

It'll only become a problem if others

get hold of the kids

Leave it to me,

Let me handle it

There you are!

I went to the factory looking for you

You should stand right in front at

tomorrow's protest

Me? Why?

Why?

Don't you watch TV?

They've been showing your boys

on T.V since morning.

My boys?

You mean, you didn't know about the

pizza shop guy hitting your sons?

What!

They hit them?

You've got two T.Vs at home.

Won't watch it?

The protest is for your boys!

Where are the kids?

They were right here.

Now they're gone...

I knew it!

It's all their doing.

What are you saying!

Whose doing?

You don't worry.

The T.V channels and

politicians are on our side

I'll handle this

Let's go

- Have you seen my boys?

- They went this way

Where are they?

We don't know.

I condemn this act!

Who is responsible?

When will the disparity between

rich and poor come to an end?

First of all, this is not

about being rich or poor.

Our friend is getting emotional

We need to really think about this issue

The boys didn't go there without money

Just a minute, sir. Let's watch the

footage once before continuing the debate

Tell us, sir?

Watching this makes my blood boil!

I'm reminded of Poet Bharathiyar's lines

"My heart can't take this"

Why call them "slum kids"?

Why not consider them as our own?

Rather than trying to

sensationalise this...

I think it's our responsibility to handle

the effects of globalisation well.

Like I said before, this is not

about rich- -One minute, sir.

Viewers, this heated debate will

continue after a short break.

I'm calling from New Generation

T.V channel, sir.

We wanted to interview

Mr. Sivachidhambaram.

Have you seen my boys?

They came here.

But before I could say

anything they ran away.

How heartless they must

be to hit such small boys!

Was it that bad?

Why?

Didn't you know?

Leader asked you to come

I know everything.

About your kids.. husband.

I have spoken to the lawyer.

Let them be!

I'll take care of everything.

You don't worry yourself.

They're just kids!

They must be roaming

somewhere here

They will be back

Something to drink? Tea, coffee?
