"Shall we in solidarity

unite as a sea of humanity?"

"Let our villages converge

With enthusiasm plunge"

"Revel in a golden period

Joy widespread"

"Indian...join me en masse

to create a brand new Himalayas"

Hey ladies! You can't build this dam

even if you become grandmothers

Hit you hard!

Hit you if you don't

wear sandals at work!

Only iron helmets

will protect you

Wear it...secure it firmly

Our king

When he comes to

the court chamber

This was on his birthday

Boss...sir...?

- Hey...hey...hey?

- Aiyo! No 'mansion'

Subbu, ask them

what they want

At once, sir

Eat well

What do you want?

Shall I serve you some gravy?

That's why

I warned you!

I told you, before starting

a project of this magnitude...

...it's our practice

to sacrifice a goat

Do we sacrifice for famine

and also to eradicate famine?

Well said!

Shouldn't there be

a limit for superstition?

It's safer to sacrifice

If you kill 100 goats,

villagers will be happy!

Even if we kill you,

the whole village will rejoice!

Shut your gob

Listen, if we build this dam

without any mishap...

...I'll build a temple

for this village

- There won't be any hitch

- Glad to hear this, sir

Why are you back?

Go and take rest!

It's just a small wound

I'll get back to work

"Human race without water

can't survive...so volunteer!"

"Change won't take place

without human species"

"Come out into the light

and like a tiger fight"

"Shall we join forces

as one family, no fences?"

"Shall we bond and grow

as people, no high or low?"

"As bonded beasts forever

will we live hereafter?"

"Golden period to treasure"

Don't show your

British arrogance here!

Go

Come here

Serve here

Hey Shanmugam?

- Yes, sir?

- Come here

Planning to get

your daughter married?

She's still young

What's the rush?

- But she's in a rush!

- What are you saying?

Look over there

- Get lost

- Don't play the fool

They are just kids

playing with each other

And you're making

a mountain out of a mole-

If you get them both married,

you won't have any hassles later

How can you even say this?

You know very well that boy

is from a caste lower than ours

Oh big deal!

How can caste be

a criteria these days?

Look there

From barbarians to gypsies...

...castes, high and low

They are eating together

without any discrimination

Can you differentiate

by caste, creed or religion?

In those days even wells were

segregated according to castes

Aren't we building the dam

over there without hierarchy?

Tomorrow when we get

water from that source...

...people from all castes

will go and fetch water

We will all work together

for our daily existence?

How come caste comes into play

only when you start a family?

Hey Vasantha!

- Get up from there

- Father?

You brainless nitwit!

You are eating along with

a boy from a lower caste

Are you all bird brained?

Sit according to

your caste and eat

If you still want to eat,

ask our caste to eat first

Then serve food to

other lesser mortals

Hey! You think we are

beggars to eat leftovers?

You stupid numskull!

Your skull is the thickest

Hey! Shut up

- People, get up

- He's demeaning us

If they have an ounce

of pride, let them go

If I send a couple of men like you

behind Gandhi, we'll rule India...

...hassle free

for another century

Not 100 years, sir

but 1000 years-

Aiyo! Madam is coming!

What the hell is this

scoundrel always doing here?

Not 'Gounder', my lady

I belong to another caste!

Sir, how come there isn't

a single soul here?

Where have they gone?

Things are strewn all around

Bring it

Listen to me carefully

This is your life

This is the progress

for your children

This is your future,

livelihood, labor, food...

...clothing, shelter,

happiness, everything

Now, this very moment,

to build this temple and dam...

...will you lend me your hand?

Or do you want to die

of hunger and starvation?

And turn this village

into a graveyard?

Decide for yourself!

One more announcement

I don't want any Mudaliyar to

come forward to build this dam

Nor do I want Naidus

Chettiars, Gounders, Iyers,

lower caste, higher caste

Hindus, Christians, Muslims

Not a single soul

Beyond the barrier

of caste and religion...

...if one of you

in this gathering

...if he or she is an Indian

...and if the Indian blood

is running in your veins

...I want only that Indian

to come forward

I don't want anyone else

Sami Pillai, pull up

a chair for me

I'll also sit

Do I have to sit facing

these dumb people?

Turn it around

the other side!

"Indian...join me en masse

to build anew Himalayas"

"Youngster, bright and bold

Let's turn rainwater into gold"

"Tiny drops of water make a river

That droplet in history is your avatar"

"Lend a hand, strong man

Your right hand will be the dam"

"Prop mountains, stop the river

let's build a high-tech cloister"

"Shall we unite and plan

as one caste and clan?"

"Shall we in solidarity

unite as a sea of humanity?"

"Let our villages converge

With enthusiasm plunge"

"Revel in a golden period

Joy widespread"

"Indian...join me en masse

to create a brand new Himalayas"

'Pongalo Pongal'

'May your life brim with prosperity

on this harvest festival day'

Sir, please forgive me

Plenty of events happened

when you weren't here

What happened?

Sir, now I understand why

millions follow Mahatma Gandhi

That king has a weapon

more powerful than your cannon

I'm talking about man power!

Sir, you'll shoot something and

my people will burn me to ashes!

Hey fool...!

You British villain!

Step forward

and take a look

Satisfied?

You shot this flag

Shoot now

Let's see how many

flags you can shoot

That's an Indian for you!

"Dispelling Whites' darkness

may Gandhi's nation become famous"

"Let Ganges hurry

to touch Cauvery"

"Let us leave footsteps

in our desert sands"

"Shall we bond as 1 nation

with no discrimination?"

"Shall we win over

Fate's endeavor?"

"Shall we create history?

My precious rosary"

"Good times shall we see?

Look forward to eagerly"

"Shall we rewrite history?

Autographed with melody"

"Will life be hunky-dory?

Sheathed in glory"

"Connect to win; nothing

in this world is too big"

Only if you work

like these ladies...

...will you go through

a normal delivery this time

"Isn't the sky that flies

considerably huge in size?"

"But in front of wings

sky is of no significance"

"Let us merge our nation

without exclusion"

"Shall we be one nation

without apartheid notion?"

"As one single force

let's seal fate's doors"

"Indian...join me en masse

to build anew Himalayas"

"Youngsters, bright and bold

Let's change rainwater to gold"

"Tiny drops of water make a river

That droplet in history is your avatar"

"Lend a hand, Superman

Your right hand will be the dam"

"Prop mountains, let rivers be still

let's build an illuminated temple"

"Mountains propped

Rivers stopped"

"Scientific house of prayer

let's build now and forever"
