- Arogyasamy

He serves, taking extra care

What do you do?

We live in Papanasam

I run a cable TV operation

- What's baby's name?

- S. Pullimeena

You seem to be a big-shot dot

I'm the S before the dot

Did Miss Pulli like the 'biriyani'?

Really super

Shopping?

We came for a prayer session

in the temple at Tenkasi

You must have heard

of Swami Varadananda?

- Yes...sure

- Program called 'A good family'

We decided because

we are already here...

...we can catch a movie

and generally have fun

Family responsibility, right?

Of course

See you, brother

Please come again

Here

It's all fine that you actually

remembered the customer

But why get into details of

how and when they came?

Sir, I don't remember dates

Because most customers

who come to eat only complain

They hardly complimen-

Okay, you can go now

This is really baffling

If that fellow is lying to us...

...why should all these people lie?

So many people have seen him

on August 2nd at Tenkasi

That's what even I don't understand

Maybe they are

all telling the truth

Perumal must be wrong I think

Sir, I swear on my grandmother

who is on her deathbed

I'm not lying

I saw him driving the car

If you find out I'm lying

you can dismiss me

Did you contact the holy man?

After this event, he went

to Varanasi, madam

But I think he must

have come back yesterday

From what you say, looks like

they attended my prayer session

Otherwise, they can't know all this

I told that story only that day

I haven't said it anywhere else

Won't you register names

of your devotees who attended?

We do

But if they are late,

we just make them sit

It's not a big organization

Could he have heard

that story elsewhere?

If he knows the exact sentence,

then he must have come in person

Where are dad and Meena?

They went inside

Film is ancient now

This is a digital projector

You can show the most

amazing images in this

I'm planning on starting

a theater in my hometown

Then a digital projector is better

You think so?

Then what?

This is like a tape recorder

This is like a CD player

This gets tangled quite often

101 problems, brother

This shines like glass

Really?

- He is over there

- Come...come

- This is our family

- Please come in

When did they come?

I think it was on the 3rd

How are you so sure?

Who comes into

a projection room, sir?

They watched the movie

from inside the room

The day before that...

...there was some prayer session

called 'A good family'

Go...leave the room

Our son-

Geetha, what's this?

Nothing will happen to him

We will find him

Be strong

Can I ask you something?

Is our investigation

going the wrong way?

No

I don't think so

What we've suspected

so far is not supported...

...by even a shred of evidence

But everything they've attested

so far has been endorsed

That's it

That's the problem

It seems like every step we take...

...has already been

preempted and set up

What I'm suspecting is

not based on any evidence

It's by looking at a person

You have a gut feeling

he is hiding something

That is proof

Policemen will acquire

that 6th sense in a few days

All the evidence here

is to his advantage

But he is lying

Maybe this is why it is said

a police officer and a judge...

...shouldn't handle personal cases

This could also be

a mother's troubled mind

Otherwise...

...maybe I underestimated him

I assumed an uneducated man

is at a decided disadvantage

His brain is not that of

an illiterate country bumpkin

Suyambu is a good chap, madam

That's not what I asked

The Suyambulingam we know is

a village bumpkin, school drop out

But his brain works better

than any literate person

Have you felt that way?

An uneducated orphan

who was doing odd jobs...

...is so well established now

...he isn't an ordinary man

Tried his hand

at various jobs

On his own he studied

cable TV techniques

Not taking a dowry he married

a girl from an affluent family

He has 5 acres of land, madam

The cable TV building

belongs to him as well

Has he got any

political connections?

Not politics, madam

But he's a big time movie buff

He'll speak Telugu and Malayalam

according to the person

He even speaks English

He learned all this from movies

Cinema...!

Who else should we question?

Buy a ticket

if you haven't already

You see 100s of people a day

But you remember

one family so clearly

Let's just say

you remembered them

But if you remember

where and why they went...

...that is something

definitely to be looked into

They said they came back from

the prayer session on August 2nd

How did you say they came

on your bus on the 3rd?

Madam wants to know how you

remember clearly after 25 days

Tell me

Sir

I don't know if they said so

to me on that specific day

You just told us about

your conversation

Sir, he told me that later

when he spoke to me

Later means when?

Maybe 4 or 5 days ago

Where?

You don't remember me?

I came on your bus when

we went to Tenkasi on August 2nd

You spoke to my little girl

- Oh yes, I did

- August 3rd evening

August 3rd?

Oh yes...yes

- How are you?

- I am fine, sir

Swamiji has come

So we are here to see him

Good meeting you, sir

Okay, good day

See you, brother

- Hello...come in

- Brother, how are you?

I'm good

You're here alone?

Where is the family?

How can I bring them all the time?

Last month, we went to

Tenkasi for the meditation

You must have heard

of Swami Varadananda

He's world famous

Oh! Really?

A program called

'A good family'

The holy man has a family?

He is very genuine

He renounced everything

And you're saying you took

your family to see him

Are you an atheist?

No, don't get angry

I pray to God too

We came for the prayer

on August 2nd

Then we stayed here

The next day was August 3rd

Shopping

How is shopping complete

without a hotel and a movie?

So we made a bee line

to your theater

Expenses that day alone

literally sky rocketed!

They bought safety pins

for Rs 40, imagine!

Can I fight with them about it?

Pinned me down for Rs 40!

You are too good, brother

- Good day

- Good day, brother

Are you good?

It's been a long time

Long time?

We attended the meditation

on August 2nd

And came here the day after

To be exact...August...3rd?

All of us came here on 3rd

Really...is that so?

'Ghajini' memory I swear!

Arogyasamy...?

Kuthalingam

Please take money

from me this time

Be quiet, brother

As if you travel often in my bus

I travelled in your bus

this month on August 2nd only

To Tenkasi for that prayer

And we went for free

So?

What's in your hand?

A ring

Show me

What is this, brother?

Go do your work...go

You conned me!

Attend to your work

I didn't see him

after that, madam

Didn't I tell you on August 2nd

I'm attending the prayer in Tenkasi?

And I'm back on the 3rd

Didn't I tell you?

August 4th...Monday

August...?

4th, Monday

What is today's date?

Son of a wretched fellow!

Go pay it and then talk to me
