Power Paandi

---

Hello, Paandi! Haven't seen you around

these past two days?

I went jogging at the beach.

Right!

Paandi, come eat a couple of idlies?

After jogging, I shall work out, shower

and then eat.

Oh, wow.

Hello, Master!

Thank you for catching that dope dealer.

You've earned us a good name, Master!

I've only done my duty.

Who is this guy?

So cool for his age.

His name is 'Power' Pandian.

He was a great stunt-master

in movies.

He's a famous guy

in our area.

Pack some meat for her, boy.

Look, Master is here.

Give him the meat.

I've packed the usual, Master.

I've also packed liver and

intestines, too. - Thank you!

I've been waiting for so long.

- Wait for your turn!

I turned it on the way you said.

But it suddenly got loud!

I finished a night shift

and just went to sleep, dad.

I need to go back to work

in some time now.

I'm so sleep deprived.

Why are you like this, dad?

We only get to sleep on weekends.

The kids don't have school, either.

Your father has just returned

from a night shoot.

You've woken him up!

He barely gets sleep.

Turn down the volume.

Let him watch.

Grandpa!

Little ones! Come to grandpa.

Punch!

Side punch!

Varun, if you don't study, no meal for you.

- Then I'll starve.

Leave me alone, dad.

I will study later.

You're always playing on your iPhone!

Come down!

Fine, dad!

Stop yelling.

So, Varun.

You're getting the full dose today?

Why won't you just study?

It's not like you're educated.

You're doing alright.

Always playing on your iPad!

You should run and play!

Your body will become fit.

I take my vitamins, man.

I'm fit enough.

In my time, 10-15 of us would get together

and play kabaddi, volley-ball.

We had fit bodies.

I haven't seen you playing even cricket!

When you hit oldage, you people start off your

'Back in my time...' speech.

Go practice your 'dishyoom' now.

Who do you fight anyway?

Go study, boy.

Father-in-law, your scutch-grass juice.

Please take the children to some mall?

I can't handle them on weekends!

You're saying that for two kids?

My mother raised six children!

I was the youngest of them.

Really?

Then why did YOU stop after one son?

Double standards, huh?

Get ready now. Let's eat breakfast.

We're just not able to have

a second child.

So what?

We'll just be happy with one child.

It's not that...

When we have many children,

if not one, another son will take care of us.

My son is not like that.

He will take such good care of us, you'll see.

Take them away!

Let's go?

- Yes, let's go!

Father-in-law, your coffee.

I've been seeing for years now...

you're wasting time on this

rusty old motorcycle you never ride!

Someday, I'll take it out for a spin.

What's the problem?

The car won't start.

- Is it?

Man, what have you done?

The car wouldn't start, so I pushed it.

That's my car!

Sir...

Is this stunt master 'Power' Paandi's house?

Yes, sir.

What is the problem?

What does he care

if someone somewhere sells stuff?

Your kids, huh?

Sweet family.

Don't you want to live in peace?

Ask him to go to temples or something

at this age.

He's an old man.

Why should he do this?

I've done my duty now.

Ask him to take back his complaint.

Or you'll be in trouble.

Let's go.

Go upstairs and bring your grandpa, Dhruv.

What is it?

What have you done now?

Fine, don't just stand there.

Go.

You called me, son?

What complaint did you file

at the police station?

Yes...

They're selling drugs.

In our area!

I can't stay quiet about it!

How is that our problem, dad?

Why can't you just stay out of it?

How could I!

Children in their formative years

will wreck their lives!

Those policemen are on their side, you know.

They're threatening us

to take back the complaint.

So?

We can't stand by and watch.

You have two children, too.

If they were to be exposed to drugs,

would you be fine with it?

Dad, I'm not interested in social service.

Please retract the case tomorrow.

Why are you scolding grandpa?

Go to your room!

Why are you scolding me?

Go upstairs, child.

I'll be right there.

Watch it.

What do you want from me?

Take back your complaint

first thing in the morning.

I'm begging you. Please.

You're going to school to study.

But you're always picking fights.

He hit me first, dad.

Your teacher insulted me,

asking me not to teach my cinema fights to my son.

Sorry, dad.

How will "sorry" cut it?

Let it go.

He's learning from you.

There are good things to learn from me, too!

Okay.

I'll take back the case.

Sign here.

I didn't do anything.

Please tell the inspector!

Get home now, grandpa.

Just mind your business now.

Don't poke your nose

in unnecessary things.

Don't come to the station.

So, grandpa!

Got scared?

You placed a complaint like some big-shot.

Now you're running like a fraidy cat.

What?

Boohoo!

Oldie is glaring at me.

Want to fight me, huh?

One on one.

Come on. Want to fight?

Take back your complaint

first thing in the morning.

Good for you.

Walk away!

Grizzly old fool!

He's messing with us

in our area!

I showed him!

Dad!

You took your complaint back?

I did.

Okay.

Why haven't you gone to sleep?

You've been working all day.

It's an important file.

I need it for the morning.

Master, got yourself a high dosage huh?

At this age,

why do you even bother doing all this?

Talk about my age again

and I'll knock your teeth off.

You won't admit it.

Is that beer?

Yes. Take a sip?

And ruin my health?

You don't do anything fun.

What's the point in living those extra 30 - 40 years?

You don't find happiness at home either.

What's the point of such a life?

What's wrong with my life?

He's given me my own room- Full freedom.

And two cute grandchildren!

What more could one want?

You're living for your son and grandchildren.

In my opinion, you don't have a life.

Anyway, Master.

Whatever makes you happy.

Here he comes. The Hitler.

Grandpa, don't talk to him.

Dude, you're the reason my grandpa's

always getting into trouble.

Grandpa, you better come

with me now!

Your grandson beckons!

- Get lost.

He'll abuse me more. Off I go!

He's corrupting you, grandpa!

Grizzly old fool!

What is it?

He had to submit this important file,

but he's left it behind at home!

Call up his phone?

He doesn't answer his phone

while driving, father-in-law.

Give it to me, then.

I'll give it to him.

How will you go, father-in-law?

- I'll take an auto-rickshaw.

Is that okay?

- No problem at all!

Thank you, father-in-law.

Hold on, sir.

Wait!

Whom do you want to see?

- I need to give this file to Manager Raghavan.

Please give me your ID card.

Or you can't see him.

It's an important file.

I must give it to him.

You can't see him like that, sir.

I'm a stunt master called 'Power' Paandi...

You're Paandian, sir?

- Yes.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

Please go.

Why have you come to office, dad?

You left this file behind, it seems.

Why did you bring it, dad?

You said it's an important file?
