How will she be?

In my head in circles

random thoughts run

I must meet Velu

'Got this photo

from police records'

'Watch out!'

In Batu caves...

...there's a Tamil restaurant

Called Mama Meru

If you go there

you can catch him

"This world is like a river flowing"

"Time is like the boat floating"

"Once colorful memories

now cherished souvenirs"

(recollections overlapping)

"When I am caressed by the wind

wonder what hue is painted in my mind"

- Where is Velu?

- He's inside

- Velum?

- What can I do for you'?

He isn't the one

we are looking for

Let's go

Are you brainless or what?

They both had too many problems

He asked for a share

Veerasekaran tried to kill him

He kidnaps women

And uploads

their videos online

And forces them

to become hookers

If Velu catches you, that's it

"My heartbeafs melody"

"She was my harmony"

"My beautiful Mrs"

"Wonder now where she is"

Tiger, 9

speak UP

I don't know where he is

'But the chap in Ampang will know'

'He is the watchman there'

'He would know Velu's whereabouts'

'Come...park here'

Kabali anna

Please forgive me

I've reformed

Turned over a new leaf

Please let go of me

Don't hurt me

Please don't kill me

Where is Velu?

I really have no clue

I came here long ago

They said your wife was dead

'And took her to the mortuary'

'The worker over there rushed out'

'And shouted saying she was still alive'

'Velu and Logawent in'

'Don't know what happened after that'

Amir, stop the car

"In each and every direction"

"I saw your reflection"

"In dreams and memories of mine"

"She floats; in my heart and mind"

"Won't she now appear

for real here?"

'Sit down'

'Don't you know where I am?'

'How long should I wait?'

'You are really troubling

a pregnant woman way too much'

'Why is your collar so dirty?'

'What will people think if they see it?'

Nab him, don't let him go

Stan the car

Let's not do anything now

Fast

Move!

Hey! Let go

Who the hell are you?

Take it off

Kumara...?

What is this?

He is Tamilmaran's son

Kumaran

Why did you do this?

Can't you hear me?

Didn't you kill my father?

My family was ruined

because of you

- Hey Kumara

- I'll kill you for sure

Is he Tamilmaran's son?

Actually...he wanted a job

If you got to know-

You might feel bad

if I told you

He's a good fellow

but why-

Sorry, anna

But I wasn't aware

he would want to kill you

(skeptical chuckle)

Tamilmaran's son has

really grown up

He wanted to kill me

Right before my eyes-

I wonder what else is in store

to wrench my heart?

Whatever problems we dream about

we come out of it in a second

If my life had been the same

how good it would have been!

'Jeeva has gone to fetch him'

Hey Amir

Are you ready?

Shall we go?

Graduation function

One batch is completing

the course today

They are leaving

They want to talk to you

before they leave

How will I be of any help?

Come and ask them yourself

Please come, pa

Let's g0, Pa

Okay

Sit over here

Free Life salute

Greetings to everyone here

Mr Kabali will be sharing

his life's experience with us

First generation graduate

How did he become like this?

What lessons did life teach him?

And what did he lose?

He will share a slice of his life

You can ask him

any question you want

Is that okay, Pa?

But before that...er...uh-

An alumnus of our school

Sivanesan anna who is working now

- ...will share his experience

- Go and talk

He graduated last year

Hello, anna

A warm hello to all of you

I am Sivanesan

I am also like you

A school dropout

I handled drugs and guns

even as a teenager

My life changed after I came here

Fathima akka, Amir anna

Kumaran sir took good care of me

I work in a pet shop

I am very happy

You study well too

And be happy like me

Thank you for everything

See you

Anyone can ask

any question to dad

Go ahead

Why are you wearing coolers

and a coat all the time?

It's summer now, sir

(amused laughter)

What kind of question

is this, sit down!

Sir, which gang

do you belong to?

You were a big wig it seems

Hey! Is this very important now?

Let them ask whatever they want

I have no problem at all

Are you handy with a gun?

Sir, he has handled a gun

Yes, it was really cool

A chap in gang 0 gave me

Like a hero I went bang bang bang

It was simply smashing, sir

You're just a kiddo

And you fired a gun

Sir, which part of India are you from?

We are originally

from Dindivanam

We worked for many years

as slaves to landlords here

After that...

...after my father's time, I studied and

worked in estates owned by the British

Started slaving for this countr-

(self conscious laughter)

So well educated

Why did you become a gangster?

Hit him

Don't spare him

Do you think you are equal

to them, the Chinese, Kabali?

Of course

We are not equal

to the Chinese

Because my forefathers fell prey to

snake bites, wild beasts, land slides

...this land is fertile

We aren't inferior to the Chinese

We work 10 times harder

We are not demanding

more wages than them

All we want is equal wages

Even if you pay us 1 ringgit less

not one of us will step into your land

We are not slaves

We are employees

You are an employer!

You should treat everybody equally

That is your duty

Try to understand it

Otherwise you will face

the consequences

I am not threatening you

I am warning you!

If you think I'm threatening

I will...yes!

(loud cheering)

'That was when Mr Tamilnesan

heard about it and sent for me'

'Amir and I went to meet him'

'As soon as he saw me,

he shook hands and hugged me'

'He praised me sky high

to his friends'

You must come, Kabali

You should come

You too

Everyone should support each other

Was he so fearless, sir?

Fear...huh?!

Tamilnesan sir used to say

My beloved people!

What is Dharma?

Describe justice to me

What we need is Dharma

That is justice

We have to ask

what is rightfully ours

It is our duty

Our birthright

As soon as palm oil proved

more profitable than rubber...

...in 1 second

A single second

people's hard work was squeezed,

their blood, sweat and tears extracted

They have been trashed

on the streets as waste

What are we asking for our people

who are helpless and homeless?

Supposing someone slaps you real hard

You feel like asking why

Then why bottle it?

Cry, lament aloud, scream

in the middle of the road

Let the neighbors hear

But he will pretend he didn't

Shout till your throat is hoarse

Or die if need be

At one point he has to hear

and react to our cries

This protest is not for one man

Not for 1 family

It is a voice of dissent for people

belonging to an entire race

Kabali, you achieved the impossible

singlehanded in that small estate?

Does your world stop with that?

Come with me

to Kuala Lumpur town

There are 10,000 heart broken people

Support the oppressed

Lend a hand, revolt

I want Kabali

(thrilled laughter)

Aiyo! Baby

Sorry...sorry

Guess what? I met my leader

Tamilnesan sir today

Wowwww!

'I was talking to my wife
