Essence of Bhagavad Gita

What happens around us

is not for us to comprehend

So there's no reason

in worrying unnecessarily

So leave all your worries to God

And if we just do our duty...

...peace of mind

This is the story

Interesting story

Which movie is it from?

I'm telling the story of

the prayer session in Tenkasi

When did you go?

Clean bowled!

I told you and went, no?

We went on Saturday

August 2nd for the mass prayer

Oh yes, you went to

Tenkasi on August 2nd

That's the story I'm sharing now

This is the sub-inspector's number

Not madam's number

Yes, I called you

Who is it?

Swami Varadananda

From Coimbatore 'ashram'

What?

CD...?

We sent CDs to people

who registered for a fee

When I enquired...

...Suyambulingam has not registered

Sir, he could have booked it

in someone else's name

Could be

But this doesn't refute the fact

they weren't in town on August 2nd

Or he was in Tenkasi

'The prayer had started

by the time we reached'

'I think August 2nd'

'We attended the meditation

on August 2nd'

'And came here

only the day after'

'But Suyambu was not

in town on August 2nd'

'I went this month, August 2nd only

to Temkasi for the meditation'

'Oh yes, you went to

Tenkasi on August 2nd'

'I think on the 3rd of this month'

'I came in your bus when

we went to Tenkasi on August 2nd'

He just recreated that day

You don't get it?

He fitted all the pieces together

and recreated the entire picture

They were all pawns in his game

He created it in detail

scene by scene like a movie

Cinema

What is cinema's specialty?

Visuals

A particular scene or shot will be

imprinted in our hearts and mind

Like nothing else

That's why we believe

whatever we see in movies

They didn't just make up

going to Tenkasi on the 2nd

If they had, they would've been

caught saying different things

They really went to Tenkasi

Travelling by that bus

Praying at the temple

Staying at the lodge

Eating at that hotel

Watching a film

All that is true

Even though repeatedly

we grilled them...

...their stories matched 100%

Because all that was true

Then...?

There is one lie in their story

Only the date

They didn't go on

the 2nd or the 3rd

Maybe it was

a day after that

What do you mean, madam?

Monday, Tuesday

That is August 4th and 5th

According to the report both the girls

didn't attend school those 2 days

We asked already, madam

Suyambu said they had fever

because of getting wet in the rain

He even showed the bill

All his bills are fake

It's easy to get a medical bill

Even otherwise he is

playing around with bills

Their name is registered

in the lodge on the 2nd

He has movie and

bus tickets for the 3rd

Those can't be fake

Sir has an important point

Suyambulingam is

an uneducated fellow

We underestimated him

as an ordinary cable TV fellow

I can see clearly what he did

'Suyamulingam took Varun's car

and went to Tenkasi on the 3rd'

'He ordered a 'take away' dinner

at a vegetarian hotel'

'He has put Varun's sim card

in a new mobile phone'

'He has hidden it in a vehicle

with a national permit'

'After that he must have dumped

the car in the pond at the quarry'

'He got a bill when

no one was noticing...'

'...for 4 'biriyanis' in a restaurant'

'Then he bought 4 tickets for

a matinee show in the theater'

'He took 4 tickets on the bus

and came back to Papanasam'

'He made his assistant believe

he was going the next day'

'The next day, on August 4th...'

'...he boarded his friend's bus and

told him about attending the prayer'

'They must have stayed in

the temple from 9 a.m to 4 p.m'

'That's when he must have

found out about Swamiji's CD'

'He must have booked it

in someone else's name'

'And at the lodge, he must have

tricked the manager somehow'

'...and written his name

in the register for the 2nd'

'He must have booked the room

in another name on the 4th'

'MANICKAM'

'He must have eaten

at some place that night'

'The next day...'

'...he must have ordered food

from the same vegetarian hotel'

'After checking out

from the lodge...'

'...he ate at the hotel

where he stole the bill'

'And chatted with the owner

amiably to make an impression'

'Then he went to the theatre

and befriended the operator'

'He must have boarded

the same Govt bus'

'And created a neat situation

to chat up the conductor'

'He must have seen the CD

of Swami Varadananda...'

'...with his family at home'

'He threw away all the bills

he got on the 5th'

'Instead he showed us the bills dated 3rd

which he collected when he went alone'

'Then recently he has

met the same 4 people'

'And imprinted in their minds

his whereabouts on August 2nd'

They don't even know

what they are doing

They are giving false evidence

and aiding him

Now we don't have

a tiny bit of evidence

Only this theory of mine

If all this is true,

where is Varun?

Why did he come to see them?

Only he can answer

His family should answer

He has driven

the police force crazy

No point talking to him

in a courteous manner

Come...come

Hurry up

Get into the vehicle

Get in now

They haven't done

anything wrong, sir

Go inside

- Talk to him, father

- Start the car

Why are they taking our children?

I don't know

We have to somehow beg some

influential person and get them back

'Thangarasu, if the police

takes us into custody again...'

'...you must bring

the TV channel I specify'

- Where is he going?

- Oh God! Help us

Where is my son?

I swear I don't know

We've told you

so many times

Hey! What do you

think of yourself?

Whatever wild tales you spin...

...you think the police are

dumb enough to swallow?

Claiming you were attending

a meditation session...

...I know all the secrets

about where you really went

I need to know only this

Why did my son

come to see you?

What is the relationship

between you and him?

After the camp

I haven't seen him, madam

Look here

That's it!

Everything is over

There's no point

in lying anymore

Telling the truth

is your only way out

Or else...

...the way I interrogate

will take an ugly turn

I swear, madam

I don't know

Where is my son?

I will kill you

if you don't tell me

Ma...

I swear on our family deity...

...we don't know anything

Sir-

You-

Dad...!

Tell us

Tell me the truth

Let go of me

Sir?

Confess now

Where is my son?

You know

I won't let you go

till you tell me

Aiyo! No, ma

I swear

We don't know anything

Please let us go

Where is Varun?

I'm asking you

Tell me

Where is Varun?

Will you open your mouth

and tell me or not?

Where is Varun?

Where is that boy?

Will you tell us or not?

Till you tell the truth

you'll be thrashed

Varun's friend Alex is here

Enough

I will-

IG madam asked you to stop

Step aside

Sir, he-

Get out!

Listen

Suyambu, what is this?

If you know something,

then just spill it out

I really don't know anything

What is the problem?

Why get thrashed like this?

If you know something,

just tell them
