Three, those who're misusing

their authority.

Criminal to escape from his crime,

by threatening, by apple polishing,

by luring,

Or by giving the other a share of

his bribe, are washing away their sins

This starts from an ordinary peon.

I am sorry.

And reaches to the levels of I.A. S, I.P. S

Officers and also to the Ministers.

There is no one who punishes

them,

Nor there is any fear among them

of getting punished.

On such people, the complaints

that have been registered,

And the action on it, Which has

still not been taken,

all those files, within an hour's time

should be brought to my notice.

Make a phone call, send a Fax,

Telex, go by a taxi, or by a helicopter.

I don't mind. But one

hour... just one hour.

Within 1 hour, I need to get

the list of such people.

And if I don't get it, I've to add your

names to the list also, I mean it.

Excuse me sir, what are we going to do

with that list?

I am going to suspend all

those people.

Okay, the meeting is over you

may all go.

Great! He hit a sixer in the

very first ball itself!

Sir, what's this? You have also

come to the slums

Like others are you also going to give

rice, tooth powder, Sarees etc...

No. I believe that there

shouldn't be any slums in our country.

Our Politicians also think in

the same way. And they burn the slums.

Come here.

Government has allotted

a separate place for you.

And it has also built houses for you.

Even after that, why do you people

stay here?

Sir, there are 350 huts.

They've allotted only 2 houses.

What about the others?

Where would the rest of people go?

Who is the director responsible

for allocating these?

Here he is, come fast.

How many houses are allotted

for this slum? - The thing is...

Hello, reply promptly, houses!

This man says only few houses have been

allotted. What about the rest?

Gone with the wind.

Sir, half of the place allotted to them

has been taken over by the Politicians.

And in the rest of the place

houses were built.

Most of the houses are taken by the

members of ruling party,

and persons like him having

the authority.

This man must be having 20 flats.

Apart from that if they

allot the houses,

they let them out on rent & stay here.

Here he is, Ezhumalai.

Even he has been allotted a house,

but he has let it out on rent to

someone for Rs. 1000- Hey. - Shut up!

Inspite of knowing all this, why

haven't you still taken any action?

Sir, there is pressure from

the Ministerial level.

Sir, they are the ones who cast

their votes

Which educated person is

casting his vote?

They give lame excuses, sit in

the house and watch TV.

If they are driven away, will they

not lose their votes?

That's why they're totally ignored.

Okay, Where is the typewriter

which I had asked for?

You'll get it. Hey come fast.

What's your name?

Type his suspension order.

- Sir, What are you saying?

Sir don't do it, ask him to stop.

Ezhumalai, come here.

In which area you were allotted a house?

You come with me. - Okay sir.

In this slum, to all those people

who have been allotted houses,

get all those huts vacated and come

with everybody to Velachery. - Yes sir.

Sir...

You are suspended.

- Sir, please sir...

Ezhumalai, which is your house?

The first house on the ground floor.

Who's it?

Chief Minister...

Chief Minister...

Oh I see, come in,

do you want tea?

Hey, we don't want anything,

whose house is this?

It's my house

- What's your name?

My name is Ezhumalai.

If you are Ezhumalai,

then am I Bill Clinton?

Lmmediately, vacate this

house & hand it over to him

Sir, why should I vacate,

I have given money!

Look, this house has been

allotted to him.

According to the law,

your staying here is a crime.

We'll have to take action against you

if you don't vacate the house at once.

Then you'll be behind bars.

- Alright sir.

Sushma, take out everything

we'll go to Sowcarpet.

Immediately he remembers his place.

In the same way,

check all the other flats.

Sir, I've brought everybody.

Okay, you do one thing...

Ask those people to vacate who are

illegally staying here,

and make these people stay in their

respective houses allotted to them.

From now on they'll only stay here.

Hey, one day C.M. Long live.

When we go away from here,

and if you let it out on rent

& stay in the hut,

I'll rip you apart.

Are we really interested in

staying in those huts by choice?

Many of our family members

are jobless.

We survive on the rent

that we get from the house.

Sir, to eke our livelihood, if you

make any arrangements for a job,

Sir, god will definitely

bless you.

A request to the natives

of the State.

My holding the post of a

C. M for day is known to everybody

If I have to do something good,

I need your co-operation.

What you all have to do is,

on this one day

Whatever commodity you buy,

whether a match box or a car,

whether Gold or a Diamond,

a hair pin or an aeroplane,

anything you buy, buy only

after paying the tax.

If the shop-keeper doesn't make

the bill ask him to make it.

This tax goes to the Govt.

You must know how much money

is collected in a day.

If you buy goods at less than

the actual price without bill,

the tax which should be utilized

for public welfare,

goes to the sellers as black money.

So, I request everybody

to pay the tax.

If anyone refuses to give the bill,

lodge a complaint at the

nearby Police Station.

Rs. 350. - Hey, make the

bill & give. - Oh sh*t.

This applies to the business men.

If anyone of you do business without

making a bill,

Your licence will be cancelled.

Make sure such contingency

doesn't arise.

Besides if you pay your

earlier dues today itself,

I'll cancel all the charges against

you in sales tax evasion cases.

Hey, what is the sales tax amount

that we've to pay leagally for a day

40 Lakhs.

- How much are we paying?

Only 4 Lakhs

- That is what he is asking for.

Pay it otherwise he'll cancel

our licence. - Alright sir.

Hey, What is he up to?

What is his idea?

He is totally raw. If he collects

only the Sales Tax is that enough?

He is building castles

in the air. You've it.

Hey, Finance Minister.

What is the income from

one day's Sales Tax?

For the party or for the nation?

For the nation. - I don't know.

Sh*t, you're a bloody Minister.

Stop eating, get up & get lost.

Sir, did you see.

Catch him, catch him, catch him.

Hey, what's all this? - Magnet.

Sir, the lesson he learnt in

his school about the magnet power.

How well he is using it?

Look, how people's brain work.

What will be its weight?

- It should be around 200 gms.

Hey man! If you are under

weighing 200gms for 2kg,

With this weight how much

you would be stealing in a day?

Will you reform? You blood sucker!

Hey! What's this?

What's all this? - World cup!

Whichever side you measure,

it will measure only 2.5 litres!

He is a expert in

pilfering kerosene. Catch it.

Sir, after calculations

he's swindling about Rs. 1500 per day.
