My name is Sadayan, I've married to a girl from

Jeeva's village and there is where I first meet Jeeva.

It is your choice to not to sell your village

land which can be used for the growth of paady.

But whatever land given us for marrying your village

girl is up to us to sell, but our wives are not willing to!

The big fish as it is had destroyed most of the lands around.

Since we are not selling the lands they have provoked you.

This was a big paddy plantation

There is very big water dam under this land, I have studied, and

onces I aware we can supply water to other village to grow paddy.

You have been telling this

for the past 6 months.

Be patient, I am Jeeva's college professor.

These are his college mates.

Give me that.

This is your village satellite view and the picture

in white is all water flow under your village.

Knowing on this the big fish wants

to buy the land somehow.

How if there is no water in the end

and no one wants to buy the land?

If you give us a bit of time,

I will find the spot.

Take your time but till than let

our wives stay with their mum first.

Is either you bring us water or send our

wives back to us with agreeing to sell the land.

Wife screaming to husband not to go.

Enough mum, the water is hot enough.

Put it a bit further.

Bro, coffee.

Put it there sis.

What does this book means.

It means that something that we eat after

we are done eating is actually somebody else's.

We must find out to which

way the water is flowing.

Bhai whose land is this?

It's Marimuthu's.

Hey! Someone is chasing Marimuthu.

How about this land?

It's Kamaruddin Bhai's.

This place?

It's Shanmugam's.

How about this?

Achappan's.

Jeeva, someone had killed Marimuthu!

Who are you guys, this is our land.

Ask them to stop the digging.

This land is been registered 3 months back.

There is only one way to

safe Jeeva and also the land.

The only way to let the world know on

what is happening is...

The 6 of them decided to

suicide at a time by cutting their necks.

I am the reporter whom

recorded the whole of it.

Please listen to me and lets think

of something else. I beg you all.

We do not have any other choice than this.

Suicide is against my religion but what is happening

here is worse than that so I do not have any other way.

We want justice and we believe that

this is going to make a big difference.

Our blood will be in this water and if there is a factory built

top of this than you all will be drinking the poor farmers blood.

The suspect whom is behind this

will be investigated on this.

The villagers got back the land and

were asked to do the water work by Jeeva.

To get money support the men

from the village go far to do labor job.

All the ladies are still waiting for

them to come back to the village.

Jeeva with 10 other men from the

village stayed in mother Theresa home

It has been 3 years and all the men are

still working hard in many different places.

This are the people who are

still working till Jeeva wins the case.

Brother Jeeva, how are you,

please win the case and we all can go back.

Hi brother Jeeva, I'm working in the wine

shop and can't wait to come back ones we win.

Hi brother Jeeva, I'm working as a toilet cleaner and

please win the case so that we can prove to all of them.

Now we are going to give Jeeva 400000.

This is not by the club but we collected it from

all the workers from the village and giving it to Jeeva.
