Chief Ministership,

they are beating us with

our hands tied.

Mother, don't worry!

Father! Take mother inside!

I am not going to

take it lying down!

They barged into Q T. V and beat me

at the behest of Aranganar.

All are his hench men, I have seen

them with my own eyes.

Palvesham! You go and call

lawyer Sundarajan.

Stop! What are you going to do?

Are you going to file a case.

Great Idea!

There are 14 lakh pending cases

in Delhi,

you only said

in that interview.

It'll take at least 25 years for your

case to get over.

Before that your lawyer Sundarajan

will get beaten twice.

Till now how many cases

have been filed against politicians.

Has any politician ever been

prosecuted and sentenced?

Before the case gets over he'll rule and

enjoy the power and die.

Only bugs will crawl on those files!

For that, do you want me

to spare him?

I am a media man!

I'll call all the T. V channels and

Magazines and tear apart that Aranganar.

They tore apart Q T. V,

haven't you seen it?

Sir, What was the mistake

I committed?

Doing good itself is a crime

in our country!

I had taken an interview.

Was it my mistake?

It was my job!

It was an accident, that I became a

Chief Minister for a day.

Actually what was to be done

by the ruling people,

I did just that on that day!

Everything was over with that day.

I have returned to my

ordinary daily life.

I am just an ordinary man.

Sir, why are they still chasing

and hurting me?

Who said that you are

an ordinary man?

When you sat on that seat

for a day.

That day itself, you had

become a politician.

Politics is like drugs! Once

you are hooked to it you are gone.

Tomorrow, if he wins he'll use

police to beat you.

If he loses he'll use his

hench men to beat you.

You can never escape

from him.

Then, where is the

end to it?

Either, settle down with your family

some where near Poona,

Or else plunge in Politics!

No, I don't want Politics!

This is the winning point

for the Politicians.

Those who should question them

never do & keep quiet.

That's why, these Politicians are

creating so much of chaos.

This is the curse on

this country!

The famed bad man of movies

P.S. Veerappa said it rightly.

"LET THIS COUNTRY AND ITS

PEOPLE BE RUINED"

Hey Auto stop.

Oh! The leader has got up!

Come on get up, get up...

Hey! Don't photograph me?

News may reach higher levels.

Sir, Its just a photograph!

- Man! I may lose my job!

Don't I have to be in this job,

at least till this man comes.

What are you doing here?

I couldn't stay away

so, I had to come back.

What have you decided?

Let him get up and brush his teeth!

Move, leader has to go to toilet,

move... move...

Stay away from my waist

You swine. Go, go.

Move... move... make way

... go... go.

Hey! Stop... Stop...

Greetings brother.

I am the opposition leader

Vaduganathan. I think you know me.

I knew you'll come to the bathroom.

So, I was waiting for you

since morning.

Brother, our party has 40 MLA'S.

They'll sign wherever I tell

them to sign.

Today you join our party.

Who will be the next Chief Minister?

Will it be you or me?

We can decide after discussion

in the general body meeting. Brother...

I have cash in the van!

Totally 100 'C'- 100 'C' means?!

'C' means 100 Crores!

Yuck! What sort of men

are you?

Not allowing a person to go

to toilet and fix rates!

You go... stop. Why this

garland for going to the toilet?

Is he going abroad?

He is just going to the toilet.

Why do you bother him

so much? You go.

Greetings Pugalji.

What? Pugalji?! Why are you

changing his father's name.

Give it to me.

We are coming from a National Party.

Join our party, you will be

the next Chief Minister.

From Delhi, 500 'C' has come

as your growth fund.

You inform our leader about

your acceptance on phone itself.

What? 500 Crores?! Pugal,

give me that income tax number...

Palveshji... formality for me too.

If you talk to Pugal and get our

work done.

We'll pay you 2 C. - You! Swine!

Long Live Leader Tirupathisamy!

Long Live.

I am Alliance Front Party

Leader, Tirupathisamy.

You need not enter Politics.

All you have to do is just issue a

statement that you support us.

We'll accept you as our

spiritual leader.

The way you ruled for a day,

We'll continue it.

Brother! - Who's that calling our

leader as younger brother?

Who is that? - Brother.

- Oh! Agricultural Party!

Come.

Greetings. Come...

Saw on T. V that you

were beaten up.

Seeing that, Thenmozhi has

been distressed.

I couldn't see her distressed. So I

brought her here to meet you.

Nothing has happened to you, isn't it?

- I am okay, Thenmozhi.

Come, with me, I have to talk to

you alone.

They are discussing important

family matter. Don't disturb...

I was distressed hearing your

name from everyone on T.V.

I was afraid that all of them

may push you into Politics.

Don't enter Politics.

Once if you enter, you can never

extricate yourself from it till death,

Or lead a peaceful life.

I am not saying this with any

self-motives.

But as a parent I am

advicing you.

Before you decide,

think once about Thenmozhi, who always

thinks about you only.

Pugal, I like this

girl very much.

Without further discussion marry her.

We'll settle down very far away, beyond

the reach of these Politicians.

Hey, Palvesham move. - I won't.

Now everything is under my control.

You Swine.

You have become an

eminent person.

Do you know how many people

are waiting for you,

just for your

one "YES".

By dumping crores of rupees

in a van.

They have come to bargain your rate.

The opposition party on one side,

The Nationalist Party on

the other.

And since you got badly hurt,

and not being able to bear it,

The youngsters are ready to lay down

their lives, gathered on one side.

And on every channel

of the TV,

public chanting your name

is on the other side.

And above all, this is the latest turn on

the platform of Indian politics.

Why only India, the CNN, BBC etc.

The whole world is waiting for your reply.

What have you decided?

No... no please... please stop.

I beg all of you.

Right now, I am not interested in

saying anything.

Look, I am just an ordinary man.

I am already fed up after getting

beaten up.

Just leave me alone.

Hey, move. Come.

Come here and look at the crowd.

Pugal, has this crowd gathered

after getting money?

Or have they been given

liquor or fish & chips?

This crowd gathered on its own.

Look at the curiosity on

everybody's face,

will a good leader not come?

Will a good government

not be formed?

Will a good future not come into vogue?

Look at their desperation!

Today, invariably everyone wants to

become a Doctor, Engineer or a Lawyer.

Is anyone ready to become

a Politician?

If asked, they say Politics

is a dirty game.

If its so, they should

clean it, isn't it?

Instead, handing over the

country in the hands of dirty politicians,

They have got used

to the muck.
