What about no gap

near the cupboard?

That was situational

You fell into my trap

This is also situational

You fell into my web!

How?

I've called the police

They'll be here in half hour

They'll bruise us

black and blue!

We won't be

able to take it

Then come without

putting up your price?

Just nod your head

Please say 'yes'

Okay

Aren't you getting

too taken in?

Okay...okay

Long live the king!

Even if you say 'no'...

...looks like the people

won't let go of you!

I meant the respect

they're flooding you with

Greetings, sir

Welcome

This village is showering us

with so much respect

Not for 'us'

But for the lead

All the grandmothers

of this village are here

Your grandpa must have

been quite a player!

He squandered

his wealth...

...and made me a pauper

instead of prince!

Just walk along with me

Wherever he walks

he's got style-

Hype it up some more!

Greetings

Everybody is so happy

by your arrival here

He's a politician

from my village

He won by a huge margin

in the previous election

But I didn't get your vote!

- Can we click a photo?

- Be handy if cops get us

Raja, I have a very

important appointment

- I'll take leave

- Please...okay

Greetings, sir

I'm a poet

Our clan's custom is to sing

in praise of the king who'll reward us

I want to follow

that custom today

What does he want?

It seems he has begged

by singing for generations!

To beg is to take

with permission

That isn't wrong

My ancestors have said

'to steal is a crime'

How does he know about us?

That's what puzzles me

Please sing

If he sings

you must pay him

- Got money?

- He won't ask!

'What will he bestow?

What will he endow?'

'Wondering though'

'He'll shower gold

Lavish gifts untold'

'If 'not enough' I declare

He'll pile more on a platter'

'If even these don't suffice

his own self our king will sacrifice'

'Even he'll forsake

his life for our sake'

'Lord of compassion!'

Just throw him

and squash him flat

Poet!

Old man!!

Kothandam, I left my gold bracelet

in the car, please bring it for me

Shall I sing another

song in praise of you?

Kots...come here

He wants to sing

another song it seems

Please sing

'When shade is necessary

nearby will be a tree'

'When enmity erupts

a support will show up'

'After the dark night

dawns sunlight'

'There is a bright future

for each and every creature'

Boring bee! Everyone

has a future, do you?

Yes, I can see it

right before my eyes

Kothandam, I've kept a Rado watch

along with my bracelet, bring that too

Sir, another small song

Kothandam, please wait

Akon hasn't finished singing

Last song

Shall I?

Good...go ahead

'Beautiful'

You?

Not you

'You are beautiful'

'Your walk is breathtaking'

'Your laughter is spellbinding'

'Tamil you speak is endearing'

'Only handsome man living'

'Most stylish man ever'

'You're Mr World forever'

He's got epilepsy

Hold him

Kothandam, along with the bracelet

and watch there's a Rs 1000 bundle

- Please get that too

- That's Rs 100000

Let it be

Bring that and take

the car back home

Would be great if I could

receive it from you

He won't come

Hasn't he gone

only up to the car?

No...no, he'll drive

straight back home

Then all that you wanted to give?

- Poet...?

- That's me...me

When you sang

in praise of me...

...how happy I was

You should be

When I said I'd give you

bracelet, watch, money...

...how happy you were?

Of course!

Then we are quits!

I never expected this from you

You'll borrow songs written by laureates

Kannadasan, Vaali and Vairamuthu

And I should pay you, huh?

Get lost

Sir...!

Grandpa, you need not

have any doubts

He's our king's grandson

I have all the proof needed, from

his birth certificate to DNA test

I don't need

any of those, dear

His face is proof enough

He is from that king's lineage

The same laughter

Welcome, my son

You should open the temple

the next Full moon night

Shall I go ahead

with the preparations?

No rush, grandpa

We were planning to

rest here for a while

You can stay here

for many years

This is your place

This place is ours?

How many acres?

Thanks a lot

Son, I need to talk

to you in private

Shall we go in?

No need alone

Whatever it is

we can discuss here

It's very important

He's calling you in, right?

He might show you

some bureau

Check if we can line our pocket!

Signal from inside

Owning such a big bungalow,

why do you work in a TV channel?

If you rent it for a TV soap

your bank balance will overflow

What can I do

in this village?

At least in the city I can

check out a few handsome hulks

Whaaat...?

You go out on dates?

Why do you pounce

like a monkey for that?

So many girls end up

in a drunken stupor

After all she's only dating!

This village is under the impression

the 'linga' in the temple is ordinary

Let me share with you something

even my granddaughter doesn't know

It is made of emerald

Made with the most

precious stone

After this temple is opened,

with tight security...

...you should be the one to

announce this fact to our folks

Okay

This is a big matter, sir

Here, sir

Thanks a ton

You've saved me

from a huge crisis

This is life and death for you

That is even bigger for me

Look over there

Next week, celebrating

'Cancer awareness'...

...I'll ensure these huge

balloons float in the sky

When people are busy

looking up in awe...

...we'll finish our job below

- Got it?

- Understood, sir

It will definitely

be done, sir

'Linga' studded with emeralds, huh?

Yeah...!

If an emerald necklace

is worth 15 million...

...won't an emerald linga

fetch about 15C?

15C and 21C are all buses

parked in Mandaiveli terminus!

Cheapo!

Stop thinking at cow dung level

Junk piece!

It will be worth

more than 300 millions

"Cash, dough, dollar, rupee, money"

But we have to wait

for the Full moon night

You'll wait patiently till 10 p.m

for the wine shop to open

Can't you wait for this?

We can lift it only after

the temple is opened

We'll do it today

We'll do it right now

And then we can

scoot from this place

Correct

Ideas and chips are same

If you delay

they lose the crunch!

Zip-zoom now

Hello!

Your latest plan

is to steal what?

Linga-

Don't blabber, she didn't

eavesdrop properly!

We're telling Lingaa about

your height, weight and bright-

And the sun

rises in the west!

- She isn't believing me

- Then say it so she'll buy it

We were discussing who the chap is

back in the city you intend hitting on!

As if he doesn't know

Tell and then touch

No time to announce

It's a spontaneous gesture

Heard that?

Even the stiff one

bites the dust!

You angle to tangle

I'm off to bed

I'm also not sleepy

Let's just stroll

around the village

Why choose this time of night?

That's the fashion now

Day is too much disturbance

Yeah, it's like

A.R.Rahman style

But remember not to go

near the dam or temple

Why...why is that?

I believe ghosts

frequent that place

'Smash you with a slipper'
