I'll tell you...

We have planted them at 4 places.

In a bank at Mount Road, Railway station,

in a marriage hall & in a cop's bike.

Wow! I've got back my leg.

Can we do business by keeping

your leg, you keep it.

Then can I take rest?

- Yes of course, but in the lock up.

At once, contact the bomb squads and

ask them to go to the spots.

And one more thing,

call up the Police control room,

And ask them to park all the cop's bikes

in a sterile area.

Okay sir. - That's it.

Sir, did you find anything?

- Nothing, as of now.

Sh*t! - Sir, you go, we'll do it.

No... no... I've to examine

it myself, come.

No... Come on.

Son, don't move. Wait...

Hold him, be careful!

Cool... Check,

and go back... go back...

There is a bomb inside the hall

everybody move out.

Listen to me, keep all the doors open,

take out the ladies safely & properly.

Sir, to besmirch the Govt. Of Pugazhendhi,

It seems, you have planted

Bombs at 4 places.

He'll himself plant the bomb, and

he'll himself defuse them,

and he'll put the blame on us.

How is it possible?

Not a single planted bomb

would explode.

He'll defuse the bomb correctly

before it explodes.

The opposition party which is

fully united.

They are scared that it may

come in power again,

that's why he has hatched

this conspiracy.

But, the one which was planted in

his house,

didn't kill him.

Didn't you understand its implication!

To upstage his political image,

he didn't hesitate even to kill

his own parents.

Sir, your reply.

Look, there will be an enquiry.

You yourself planted the bomb to

kill your own parents...

No... no... comments...

Why did you ask me

to come?

Hey look, I never aspired

to sit on this chair.

Neither, did I snatch it from you.

Lakhs of people came searching

for me to my house,

with the faith that I'll do

something good for them,

they cast their votes for me

and made me to sit here.

I intend to do

some thing good for them,

But you... You are not

allowing it work out.

Do it fearlessly, do it,

I am not stopping you.

You are not stopping, but you are

putting spokes in it.

You use your brain to

destabilise ruling party,

Even if you had used 1 o/o of it

for public welfare,

Our country would have

developed long back.

You'll always create problems like Strikes

Caste conflicts, Bomb blasts...

Do I've to think about the

welfare of the people,

Or follow the trail of

the bombs planted by you?

From the very beginning you

have been accusing me!

The Police is under your control.

File a case against me.

Set up an enquiry commission,

if you are able to prove your allegations,

hang me!

Am I stopping you?

I know how a spineless politician

will try to escape from the law.

You cannot escape from me, okay?

I am going to kill you!

You are not able to handle

me, isn't it?

You don't have to show compassion

towards the life of a mosquito.

30 yrs of my political life I have spent

eating flesh and leaving shells behind.

Now I have come to your place,

everyone outside knows about it.

Only we both are here.

You cannot escape that easily

after killing me.

You have 30 yrs experience. Add to this

my 1 year of acquaintance with you,

So I have become 31 yrs.

Experienced politician.

Now, I am going to shoot...

Not you but myself!

Guards!

You have made me a fool!

Now you die!

How can I sit in your seat?

It may be good for an argument

but is it practically possible?

It's possible!

Why don't you be there for a day

and see it for yourself?

That was a good interview.

Mr. Krishnan! At last they have made

even me a Politician.

Sir, forget it. He had always

indulged in dirty politics.

You have indulged in it only once

for a good deed.

You keep quiet.

You didn't tell me anything and

I didn't hear anything.

You Sinner! How unjustly

you have shot him?

How's that?

Son! I am ignorant about other

things except agriculture.

I was concerned only about the

welfare of my daughter.

But, you have sacrificed your own parents

for the sake of others welfare,

And there is no one besides you

to take care of you.

I bless you!
