- Oh no sir, I'm clean.

I am just a little talkative,

other than that...

I don't even use

a pencil of the office.

Sir, even the cell phone bills

I am paying from my salary.

On what strength so many people

have committed there mistakes?

Only on the strength of Ministers of

all those departments.

Because even they

get their share.

Which are the Ministers

involved in this?

Revenue Department, Housing Board

Food and Public Works Dept.

Totally department's

Ministers are involved.

Sir, what shall we do

with them?

Actually, they should be

arrested! - Then do it!

Pugazhendhi Down Down...

Pugazhendhi Down Down...

Look leader. He has

come here also.

Your 12 ministers have

indulged in corruption.

We have evidences for that.

Excuse me.

I've no other option

other than to arrest them.

If you lay your hands on anyone

I'll kill you.

Ask them to come in. - Yes sir.

Hey! Do you want your corpse to float

in Coovum river by tomorrow?

That isn't so easy.

All the Press people are watching.

Please advice them to extend

their co-operation.

You can proceed now.

Constable, break open the door

Sir, I just came to the loo.

Leader, what's this?

I haven't achieved

or effected any social reforms.

I have just abided by

the duty of this post.

If you had done this

in the last 5 yrs.,

our country would have

become heaven on earth.

Thank you so much for your advice.

Your one day is over.

You can go.

Still there are five minutes to go.

There is one final work,

which I've to complete.

You are the root cause for so many

people to commit mistakes.

You are totally responsible for

those people indulging in corruptions.

That's why,

I am arresting you also.

Don't talk like a kid.

You don't know the law.

It's not a joke to arrest

a Chief Minister.

For that, Governor's signature,

Supreme Court's permission,

and other formalities are required.

Don't talk without

knowing the details, get lost.

Excuse me. Today I'm the Chief Minister.

And you're just an ordinary man.

I have all the powers to arrest you.

Arrest him

Oh my god! This was not at all

in our list!

My dear, your good time

has started.

Pugazhendhi down...

Hey, move, move, enough

of taking the photo's.

Please make way.

Please move a little way.

Leader got trapped us

by his strangle talk.

If he comes back to power,

I'm dead.

I thought he can do nothing in a day but

he has put the whole lot behind barsl

Release our leader.

Release our leader.

Heyl Remove your hand.

Release our leader.

Release our leader.

Keep quiet. We'll get him

released soon.

Advocates move to the front.

You're all lawyers move to the forefront.

Sir, lawyers have come.

Lawyers?

When will you get me released?

He'll put me in a

Central Jail before dawn.

So do something immediately.

We have done all the work, all

you've to do is sign these papers.

We'll go to the Magistrate's residence &

come back with the bail. - Take that.

And more importantly,

get a stay on all the orders

issued by that one day C.M.

Get a stay order to make

them ineffective. - Yes sir.

I'll issue an ordinance and make

all his decisions null and void.

Shall I leave now sir?

Go and get the bail

immediately... go man...

Hey You, Maya Krishnan!

Got struck.

Where are you sneaking out?

Come here.

Sir, it was very paining for me

to see you in this position.

So, I was avoiding you.

Don't cry and deceive me!

I know, you were with him & adviced

him in everything, isn't it?

I swear on you sir,

I did nothing like that.

I was going around with him

just like a puppet.

Blind man! Had he been illiterate

he wouldn't have understood anything.

He was educated enough to understand

everything in one day.

He is clever.

Don't play double game with me.

By dawn, I'll be the

Chief Minister, do you remember?

Oh my god! I am a family man

don't take revenge on me.

Shall I arrange someone

to throw acid on his face?

Say yes, I'll arrange it.

We'll forgive him & spare him.

No sir. We'll have to do something.

What's this sir? For a small scratch,

you broke a man's hand.

That guy had hurt

you emotionally,

And you want to forgive and

leave him.

Left him... but didn't forgive him.

A small boy... Has eclipsed my years

of political life.

For all his one day's achievements

he should be consecrated,

with Milk, Honey and BLOOD!

Screwing up means this is

the best screwing up.

Screwed up all the people at a time.

That's called the real screw up.

Even after requesting you never

turned up for work.

But yesterday's screwing seems to

have worked out.

You have come to work so early.

What?! Beedi?

- No Soda water?!

If that man becomes the

Prime Minister of India,

He'll cleanse the whole system.

Hey! He's our one day Chief Minister.

Why are you standing sir?

Sit down sir.

What happened sir? I fell into a

sewage slush.

If you pour Soda on him

When will you clean him up?

No Water man.

He cleansed Tamil Nadu in one day.

We should clean him in one minute.

Heyl Our one day Chief Minister

has arrived.

Leaderl Leader, Chief Minister

Lion, shake hands.

You have achieved. Move out.

Pave the way. Beat the drums.

Carefully... carefully...

slowly... slowly.

You may throw him down.

Bring him down. Go...

All of you move out.

Let all the evil eyes cast

on you be warded off.

You have done a wonderful job.

Congrats. Now, I am no more

Sensational Subha.

You are the Sensational Pugal.

Son! Arrest of Mr. Aranganar was

your master stroke.

Hey! One day Chief Minister has come.

Greetings Leader. Greetings Sir.

- Hey keep quiet.

Brother! Spread and hold your shirt?

What? Hold my shirt?

Spread your shirt and hold.

- Why?

To measure Paddy.

With your one order,

without any broker in between,

you have made the government

buy all the stocks directly from us.

After deducting all the costs and

labour, for a hectare,

we are getting a net profit of

5 thousand rupees.

After the harvest the first measure is

offered to God.

But, now you are our god.

Please don't flatter me.

Our hearts are overwhelmingly filled.

Take this brother.

Take it brother. Take it brother.

What will I do with this paddy?

Offer it to God.

Brother!

- Hold it! Brother!

Even then, for the respect you have

bestowed on me...

Are you happy?

What will my Thenmozhi give me?

With great expectation

I have come running.

Why are you hiding your face

and leaving from here?

Hey! What happened?

Why are you crying?

They gave you paddy and raised

your status to that of god.

What can I give you?

They say that, life is priceless,

but I will not give my life.

I want to live with you.

Modesty is more than life.

Take it.

Thenmozhi! What's all this?

I don't have anything more precious

with me to give you.

The paddy they gave is not important

but the honour is.

The way you gave yourself to me

is not important.

But the trust you have in me

is more important.

That is enough for me.

Hey slim girl.

You're the one who dissolved
