when can I come back to do agriculture again.

Can you come to Chennai and

tell this at the court.

I came under 4 years contract,

our passport is with the boss.

Lam driving Taxi.

Is your passport with you.

Passport is with them.

Looks like they have planned well

and made things difficult now.

Looks like we don't have

any other way to prove it.

We will lose and they will win.

Trying to win a big company

using your local lawyer.

I have an advocate team with me.

None of the ones in the list of prove

will come. Understand.

My corperate company is very big and your

village is like a mosquito stuck on the spider web.

If a corperate company is facing problem,

only the related companies will join together.

Lets prove them that farmer's like us whom

face problem the whole of India will come for us.

Everyone should know our problem.

For that we need the media support.

Surely we will put the news but

not as you request in the front page.

Maybe a small column

at 6th of 7th page.

There are much more hot news

and yours is 3 years back old news.

Yes, we can do it this way.

Make sure bring down all the ladies and kids

whom are affected so that it will look more real.

Everyone should cry shout in emotions

and no one should stop them.

Later on we can edit with effects

and broadcast it the following Sunday.

The case will end in another 5 days sir.

There won't be any slot as immediate as

you request. Are you out of your mind.

They have created fake evidence and

we can't prove it since it's done tactically.

We can only win if the citizens

support us from all over.

Sir I understand your situation,

but there is no value in your news.

For example somebody commit suicide is a different value

and somebody has committed suicide has a different value.

There is no value in this news

and no media will take this news.

This is a village problem, why don't you

settle it there, why bring it here!

Hi we are calling from Jeeva's village.

Is there anyone there that I can speak to.

Hold on please.

Call from your village.

Grandpa, how are you.

Ok.

Why is the case postponed 5 days more?

Everyone is worried over here.

Don't worry child.

Ok mum wants to speak to brother.

Your mother wants to speak.

Son.

Mum.

Don't worry everything should be fine.

We are all praying hard as well.

Ok mum.

Just wait neighbour Kogila

wants to speak to you.

Pass the line mum.

Brother are you fine.

I am ok.

Last week my dad passed away in Dubai.

He had some heart failure.

They said will send back the body.

But till the case is over no men should come in right,

so we ask them to settle everything there itself.

Ok I will hang up first brother.

Son.

Shall the 5 of us commit suicide for

the media pay attention to us.

Most to most 5 or 6 years more we will

be alive, so this will be a good idea right.

Is it they will only look at us if we die?

They will not help any farmers

before they die is it?

If we hit a small business guy also all related

people will come together and ask their rights.

Same goes to the loan sharks.

But when it comes to farmers,

this is the case right.

Every rice and other stuffs they want

it from the village but not the farmers is it.

In city all they need a pipe for water, so they won't

know what are we facing for water to agriculture.

Let us teach them all!

Let us teach them whom depend on pipe 24 hours

on what are we facing in the village as farmers.

The next 3 days there wont

be water supply in the whole of Chennai.

All of them should only think of water.

Look how the media will come now to us.

How is it possible?

Get me Chennai City blueprint.

Water supply to Chennai is

70% by dam 20% by lorry and 10% by earth.

We are only going to block

the 70% which is by pipe.

When this 70% comes to take water from the lorry

supply second day itself the water will not be enough.

The 3rd day water will be the main issue.

It is not for the citizens to suffer.

We want them to know what are we facing and

the media should turn back and look at us. That all.

How many dam's are in this 70%.

About 5 of it.

How are we going to stop the water?

Who is going to do it?

You and me.

Us? What can we do at this age.

Since we are useless that's why our

own childrens had leave us behind here.

It doesn't matter if your old.

Many achieved when they were old.

For example Mother Theresa

and Mahatma Gandhi.

Age do not matters but

it's all in our heart.

Lets prove to all your family

members whom threw you all away.

Whose coming with me?

Ask any of your brave and

trustworthy friends to come as well.

We need another 60 people.

We have to on the motor by 5 a.m.

We are already late 1 hour.

Hey! Get down.

Make sure the pipe is fully showed.

Angita you make a move to the other dam.

Everyone else will be waiting there.

OK.

Ravi you go to the east dam.

OK:

Grandpa later on hang the CD over here.

The rest just follow me.

How are we suppose to on

the water motor if they are inside it.

We got to inform that area cops to go.

Anybody there! Is anyone there!

Hey! What are you all doing.

Come out or I will come in!

Try coming in we will burn

the whole place including you.

There are people in sir,

all of them are old people.

They are scaring out saying

that they will burn themselves.

We are suppose to send the water by Sam,

but now is already 9 am.

Sir we have just got the news

that all 5 places also the same issue.

We are trying to bypass by breaking the pipe in between

but they are walking where we are breaking from inside.

Moreover everyone inside that has petrol with them,

it will be big issue if anything goes wrong with them.

Jeeva from the village is doing everything.

He is in there too.

They will only listen to him.

How all of a sudden villagers

can think so criminally.

How is the situation there,

here full of press outside.

We don't need media now,

we will answer ones the public question us.

The villagers had stopped the water supply

of Chennai. This has become a big issue.

These are the villagers.

Mum is grandpa.

Hey they are showing your dad.

We are going to discuss

more on this after the break.

Jeeva is listening to Hindi news.

It is not Hindi but Bengali.

Yes Angita.

My grandpa is there right?

Yes.

Tell him I am on the phone.

Uncle, Angita wants to speak.

Here I come.

She ask me to pass you this when she calls.

Ring?

It is for you.

We are engaged now.

Here after whenever I call your

phone must not be engage. OK.

OK.

It has been 1 day without water in Chennai.

All the other states are supporting

Jeeva's village except Chennai.

There is no water here for 20 years,

just 2 days and they are creating a big havoc.

Don't we look like humans since

we don't have water supply also.

Lam here because my village got no water.

Try listening to these people.

It is wrong to compare village with city.

This is ridiculous.

Did you listen to the radio, without any
