Take them, dear

Hey! Leave now

Visuals are clear?

Yes, madam

- Audio?

- Okay, madam

Come in

Oh gawd! Media

Cover your face

- Get ready for the shoot

- Light, come forward

Ready, madam

Roll camera

Rolling

'Good morning viewers'

'What you just now saw

is the footage from...'

'...Shivarajanagar

F23 A Police station'

'This inspector-'

Yov! Turn

'Rajavarman'

'Without filing a case, you saw him

clearly accepting bundles of money'

'This is the worst racket

in our country at present'

'This is the basis of all thefts'

'With cameraman Devaraj

Lakshmi from Public TV'

On your knees

All of you

kneel down

Shut up

What's with you?

I swear when I see you, it's like

Goddess Lakshmi is in front of me

Such a moron, I saw the money

and didn't see the camera, dear

These chaps only taught me

to be corrupt and take bribes

I'm like a child

Very innocent

I'll disregard my Tuesday sentiment

and return the money to you, dear

Give me the money

Here, sir

All yours

Short by 6

Is that so?

Who flicked that?

I took it assuming

it is my share, sir

Just by the twist of a wrist

he flicked 6 notes

He seems more

criminal minded than us

You tore my dignity to tatters

Can I take them, sir?

Please do, dear

Come along with me

Ma...ma...madam

What now?

Footage you filmed

Hear it in Public

The public will only thrash me

'Public' TV!

You want me to open

the temple in Solaiyur?

Are you trying to be funny?

If it has been locked for 70 years

the doors are bound to be stuck

Take a few carpenters

and get the door opened

Why call him?

Ho...joke, huh?

Good joke, laugh out loud

If it's weak, turn a deaf ear

For a whole week, do you

know how many people...

...have been hunting

for you all over the place?

That's the stamp of a celebrity!

How did you find out?

I anchor a reality show

Instead of palaces, I looked for him

in the cities he was born and raised

I never thought such royal blood

will be holed up amongst rogues

Do you know your grandfather

was the most revered king ever?

How can you

resort to thieving?

Yes, agreed

I am a thief

I've also heard

all the tales

My grandfather built a temple,

dug a pond, served the people

What did he do for me?

What did he give my father?

Not even a tiled

or thatched hut!

My father was a teacher

till his last breath

Do you have any idea

how much my parents suffered?

When I think of it

my blood boils!

My grandpa lived life royally,

had his fun and passed away

I'm living in my dream world

Do you know how many days

I've stood outside the palace?

I wasn't even allowed in

He drained his wealth to the last paisa

and left behind only his name

I'd have deleted

Lingeswaran too

But since it is

Lord Shiva's name...!

So I shortened it to Lingaa

Eat, man

Don't gape

You don't respect

your grandpa one bit

Come to my village, you'll then

realize how people worship him

Money brings name,

fame and the whole works

But when you're in trouble,

no one will lend you a hand

Holds good from mythological Karna

to film comedian N.S Krishnan

All you want is money

Isn't that why you steal?

Tell me how much

I'll give you

You thought the word 'money' will

make him flash his 'close up' smile?

Money it seems!

Okay, how much

will you give?

Don't be cheap

Listen girl, I'll get involved

in a job only if my heart says so

Only if I've shed my blood

and sweat, I'll accept money

But stealing is

no sweat for a thief!

Dear, ear, eye, nose, mouth, limbs,

heart and brain work as a combo...

...only when it comes to stealing

Any job you can do

and sleep in peace

But this is the only

sleepless profession!

They won't understand

Zip-zoom!

I haven't finished eating

Stuff the rest

in your pocket

Lingaa...please

You didn't let us

finish our meal

We are all down

to the last penny

But style we have in plenty!

Why?

For getting us out

Can I hug you?

Will you come just once

to my village, please?

He'll tell only once

You should take the hint

Shouldn't bug him like someone

pestering for an insurance policy!

Job over?

Zip-zoom!

'How can I take him home?'

Oh gawd!

My chain?

Give Rs 8000

Who should give?

Me give

Say 'I will give'

Teach this moneylender

to speak proper Tamil

As if he'll ever learn!

Bargain and close the deal

8000 bucks won't even

last for 4 days, Sait

If you flick chains from

modern girls, that's all

How do you know

she's a modern girl?

Because they prefer

chains light as feather

We would love to

flick chunky jewelry

But such decked up women don't

show up even in a grocery store

Will your wife be covered

in jewels head to toe?

Oh! She loves wearing them

But all covering

Imitation only

Why do you give her

such cheap stuff?

As if you don't

have real gold?

I have a gold mine!

But too many thieves around

Not you, man

He meant himself

Here...all yours

Why stress him out

for no reason?

Lingaa, why team up with these

petty thieves and settle for less?

How do I hit the jackpot?

They all wear fake gold

I must only target a bank

You can't do all that

Even high tech men get caught

Listen, for 3 days

in a 5 star hotel...

...Lalitha jewellery is holding

an exhibition and sale

Just 1 necklace flicked from there

he will give you 15 million bucks

Huh?!

I will give you

That's a whammy

1 necklace is 15 million?

That's not just gold

Gold necklace

studded with emerald

Wait, Sait

He's twirling his gray cells

to see how to pull it off

Is emerald that expensive?

Of course

Besides, the necklace

is an antique piece

We don't fancy aunties

Lingaa, before teaching me Tamil...

...help these morons to

speak proper English

- Come this side

- Yes, my lord

Tomorrow Lingaa coming with

that 15 million antique piece

It isn't a walkover

like you think

Nothing in life comes easy

But with effort

nothing is impossible

Zip-zoom!

We thought it over

for a looooong time

- What's your place?

- Solaiyur

We decided to visit

your village, Solaiyur

We cancelled Chilikanur

So do we have a choice?

Now it gets a place

in your heart, huh?

Otherwise they'll get us, no?

Only because we like it

we decided to visit

Don't kill us with

questions, please

Take us to your place

Oh! Are you also

coming with us?

How can a king travel

without his ministers, dear?

- Bro...?

- Boss!

Where are the other two?

They've gone to

their hometown

You mean both of them

ran out of town?!

How did you find out?

The financier got caught...

...thanks to me

You black sheep!

The moneylender got

his due for his misdeeds

You'll pay for yours

soon enough

Why this venomous

vengeance against us?

Not vengeance, man...plan!

My plan is to take

the king's heir to Solaiyur

She isn't even a female!

Let's go somewhere else

Zip-zoom!

Don't you know?

What?

That I'm a female

Why are you touching him?

Hands off!

Don't think you can attack

He's high voltage

You'll be reduced to ashes

Hey...no touch

2 feet gap
