The reason why

we are here today is...

...this man, Kabali

He influenced the society

to oppose the Govt

He was also accused of

instigating a ruthless massacre...

...in a palm oil estate

during a Hindu temple festival

For this offense...

...he was sentenced to

25 years of imprisonment

And he is being

released this Wednesday

Kabali's family was killed

in the same massacre

By the leader of

the gang 43, Tony Lee

'Tony Lee has invested...'

'...in many industries'

'Such as hotels'

'Import and export'

'Prostitution'

'Criminal activities'

'And drug trafficking'

'Veerasekaran is a pillar

of strength to Tony Lee'

'Many places are under his control

including Petaling street'

'With these 2 men

working for him...'

'...Veerasekaran's criminal activities

in Malaysia spread like the plague'

'One of them is Loga'

'He is the one who controls

drug trafficking for gang 43'

'Loga fixes the market price

for drugs in Malaysia'

'Another is Cheeni'

'He is involved in gangsterism'

'Loan shark activities,

leasing of parking space illegally'

'Recruiting school students

to join gang 43'

'A few years ago

the activities of these gangs...'

'...spread like wild fire

beyond the control of the Govt'

'To have an upper hand, the Govt and

Police planned a special Operation'

'In a clash between the Police and

the gangsters, Veerasekaran escaped'

'And Tony Lee died in a car crash'

This is the death certificate given by

the Police endorsing Tony Lee's death

We don't have to talk

about gang 43...understand?

Can we concentrate on

more important issues now?

Do you really think Kabali will

be quiet when he gets out of prison?

No...no...no

Though he is in prison...

...he uses his influence

to help Indian people

Specially the youngsters

who drop out of schools

And join gangsterism

He does all these things

with the help of his friend Amir

And an organization called

Free Life Foundation

'His thoughts and

vision have changed'

Furthermore

the problem is for him

They have tried to kill him

13 times inside the prison

Let's release him

Why waste time

talking about an old man?

Might as well release him

The Govt will take other measures

If needed

Hello...?

(song from 'Adutha Varisu')

Hello?

Hey! Ask him to stop

Hello?

Yes, huh?

Kabali is coming out tomorrow?

Confirmed?

Whaaat!

Kabali, huh?

Okay, bro

Fantastic!

Is he coming out tomorrow?

Heavyweight, bro

Yes, bro?

He is out tomorrow

Let us close his chapter a.s.a.p

We can show him

the power of 43!

My:
bro?

Okay, bro

Fine!

Brow?

Just 2 months

I'll be out

I'll stick out

my head for you

Definitely I'll be there for you

Just a matter of time

'Quiet!'

Here

Should have been holed up here

till your last breath

You are really fortunate

to get out so soon

Recently 40 thugs were

killed in an encounter

More than 30 were Tamilians

Any Tamilian is being

branded a villain now

Though I am a police officer...

...sometimes they look

at me suspiciously too

This is an earnest request from me

Don't go back to

your old ways again

I'm saying this

only for your own good

(cool chuckle)

Cheers...!

You're being targeted

by the 43 gan-

Ssshhhh!

'Anna...?'

Amir

Good to have you back

Allah's will!

(happy laughter)

Can I hug you

just once?

By all means hug me

You are back, anna

This is enough for me

Thank God

Ravi, your hair has turned grey!

- How are you?

- You guys rock!

All your blessings, anna

We are good, thanks to you

They are all our boys

Totally trustworthy

Good...good

He teaches in our school

- Good afternoon, sir

- He wanted to meet you

You feel good, anna?

What do you think?

Awesome, anna

- My car, right?

- Yes, anna

Just like you, perfect condition

Your favorite lovebird

Sooopefl

'Everybody is waiting to see you

Our area is in a festive mood'

'Even representatives

from all the gangs'

Anna, look over there

Where Murugan's saloon used to be

'Chettiar gardens'

Look over here

This was our Tamilnesan sir's area

KL has changed so much, right?

Anna, look there

Peddling drugs

in broad daylight

Even kids are into this

'Doomsday is nearing

They belong to 43 gang'

Such is life now!

'Students in our Free Life school are

junkies from gangs we have rehabilitated'

'Anna, look at that'

If interest for a loan

is not repaid in time...

...that red paint is awarning

If he defaults payment even then

you bet his chapter will be closed

Courtesy 43

Tony Lee

Veerasekaran

Besides them

ring leader Cheeni

You can find him

in the pet shop now

Where is that pet shop?

'That's his hangout'

'The pet shop is a mask'

'All illegal activities inside

including smuggling'

- Let him go

- Take your hands off

Check what's happening...go

Imagine imprisoning birds

that were flying free

No punishment is good enough

Know how tough it is

to be caged?

A door with small bars

If opened, vast blue skies

They will die if freed, anna

Other birds will peck them to death

A bird's nature is to fly

Let it go, free it

Let the bird decide

whether to fly or fall dead

Your compassion

is worse than its death!

'All is 1 package'

'Orangutan special price, okay?'

Don't worry

'I will take care'

Ah! Look!

Lamb for the slaughter is here

- Would you like something to drink?

- Can we get hot tea?

With just 1 teaspoon sugar

Don't want, anna?

We changed our mind, no need

Looks like you came

straight to my den?

What can I do for you?

(lamb bleating)

Then you bloody well die!

(smug laughter)

Atypical thug in Tamil films, with wart,

twirling his moustache, 'lungi' clad

As soon as villain Nambiyar

calls out, 'Hey! Kabali!'

...that thug will grovel and say

'At your service, master'

You thought I was 'that' Kabali!

I am KABALI, I say

Inform your boss, Kabali has returned

ditto as he left 25 years ago

"Like fire blazing fiercely"

Whichever nook or corner

Tony Lee and Veerasekaran are...

...they have to bow before me!

"Gather"

Lamb, huh?

"Garner"

"Comrade!"

"ls world for a handful

or masses who toil?"

"Reply will be

from the lips of Kabali!"

"Revolt and raise hell

0ppressor's rule he'll quell"

"ls the world for one

Or those who sweat in the sun?"

"Answer will be

from the heart of Kabali!"

"With a mutiny he designs

the overlord's death he signs"

"Like a towering inferno

you blazed aglow"

"Even if eyes close

dreams don't doze"

"As a flower appeasing"

"As a flute mesmerizing"

"Show the world who you are

Don't be a lamb for the slaughter"

"Like a tree dwelling in a seed

we carry stories to repeat"

"Tomorrow's dawn is ours to revel

Revolt, break rules to rebel"

"The sky is yours to hold sway"

"A bird won't forget to fly half way"

"Up his sleeve, many a scheme

Here comes Kabali, greet him"

"Like a spinning top nonstop

beat the drum, sing a song"

"So many years in prison

He's back now in action"

"In fear

his foes shiver"

"Our blood boils to sever"

"Kabali"

"Super star's the name

This is his game"
