Pugazh Page #12

---

I swear I didn't attack you

I know

We shouldn't give up, Pugazh

This land is a cut above

our own mother

A mother will feed only

her children and raise them

But this land feeds and

nurtures the whole town

Only if we maintain and protect

the soil where we played...

...our generation will be saved!

On one side...

...greedy men demolish mountains

and destroy nature

On the other side, thoughtless men

rake river sand and ruin agriculture

Trees buried in this land

many years ago...

...one fine day shine like a diamond

But having been born

and raised in this land...

...if we give up,

how will it be?

(loud lament)

Come and eat

Please come

Lakshmi, attend to them

Everyone will be angry

They will be spoiling for a fight

but don't speak unnecessarily

(lamenting continues)

Share with everyone

How dare you

swear at us!

Leave it

He said something

out of anger

If you allow him,

he'll continue to talk

What does that mean?

If that man was alive, he would have

submitted all the details to the court

So you ran over him

Looks like you'll blame me for

all the 'hit and run' cases in this town!

Das, why are you arguing

during a funeral?

He is spoiling for a fight

Who is creating a ruckus?

You think we don't know

about the lorries in your quarry?

Sonny, don't let

your tongue run

You think we aren't aware of what

you and that minister's son-in-law do?

Stop it, go now

Let me speak, anna

He thinks we are all fool-

Take him with you

Taking the common people

for a solid ride

- This isn't looking good, Arasu

- You leave now, Das

The support from his clan and friends

is kindling his temper

Not at all

You leave

If I nod my head, my men

will chop your brother to pieces

Then the funeral

will be in your house!

'Inform your brother'

What a prize catch!

If your brother had seen this...

...he would have

brought the roof down

Here, chop him

Hack him, I say

Think we won't fight back?

Threatening us

at the drop of a hat!

We don't collect others' money

and eat like you do

We work hard for a living

Only today you have

become the chairman

Don't we know

how you were before?

If you were above board...

...why will he cross your path?

My father hasn't given birth

to a coward of a son

Arasu, you told him not to shout

and you're doing just that

He only knows to threaten

with violence and murder

- You'll both lose respect

- Get lost!

You think you can

get away with this?

I'll kill you both

Whom do you take me for?

Clear out, you wimp

Arasu, go home

Pugazh, take him home

Why are you behaving like this?

How many times to tell you

he's a dangerous person?

Aren't you worried

about our family?

Is it fair on your part to do this

with your engagement 4 days away?

You go with him everywhere

like a cow in the temple

Won't you advise him?

What are you saying, anna?

I can't keep watching

such atrocities and keep quiet

Waste of time

I won't talk about this

to you again

You decide

If other people's problems

are priority to you...

...don't come home

Go away

Go away from here

You heard him, bro

How many times

do I repeat the same thing?

Am I saying all this for my sake?

I want him to be

safe and happy

He humiliates me

Pugazh and other parties intend

protesting in front of that building

- is that right?

- Yes, bro

When they all joined hands

and fought with me...

...I knew something

like this was brewing

When is this event?

Sunday is Pugazh's engagement

They are planning

to protest on Monday

We made this

for the bride

Selvi, someone is calling Pugazh

Go and give him the phone

Aunty, keep this

- What?

- Pugazh anna has got a call

Tell me

Anna, Bhuvana akka

No need, bro

It's very risky

If something goes wrong,

they will burn me alive

I'll make sure

you are safe

Go ahead boldly

How dare you break

our leader's statue?

(commotion)

You seem to be celebrating

the engagement like a wedding?

Even the bride's family asked me this

I believe their relatives are abroad

They want the wedding

to be conducted in Madras

My brother wanted it this way

That's why I decided to conduct

the engagement in a grand manner

Madam, call Arasu

Selvi, call anna

They want you in

for the rituals

Attend to our guests

Greetings

Where is your sister-in-law go?

- Call her immediately

- I forgot

Read the engagement

announcement once

Anand

Anna is calling you

Get 2 litres bottled drinks immediately

Sit next to me

Will you just shut up?

What is the rush?

Do you know what is

happening outside?

They have literally

organized a riot

- Who?

- Das's men

It seems someone cracked

their leader's statue

So they are breaking all the shops

They are coming this way

When we are all here

why tell him specifically?

You have no idea of the danger

Who are you?

Why are you coming in here?

Who the hell are you?

How can you barge in?

Keep quiet, dude

Stay right here

Bhuvana akka, please wait

Catch him, Arasu

Bhuvana, come inside

We have enough problems

and you want to call him?

Hello

You are so stubborn

You don't listen to anyone

My brother predicted this

When everyone told you

to stay calm...

...you went on fighting

Yes, what do you

want me to do?

Won't you think about anyone?

No, I won't

Careful!

Hey Anand! You want a feast

lend us a proper hand

My arms hurt

Lower it down

He's such a weakling!

Place it on the ground

Hey! Come and help us

It's so goddamn heavy

Just lift and go

Let me go and fetch him

Anand, don't pretend to lift

Why this long face?

From childhood I should've maintained

my distance from my uncle and father

Still brooding about it?

Help us with the festival preparations

2 days and everything

will fall in place

I am trying to be aloof

I'm unable to

Do you know how often

I have wanted to be as bold as you?

I simply can't

Fear

The boys are coming here

Don't let them see you like this

They'll be upset and

everything will go for a toss

Das and the minister will

have the upper hand

We should retain our playground

Think of a plan to save it

'Ladies and gentlemen'

'Tomorrow night

at Wallajah bus depot...'

'...a public meeting has been convened

to elaborate the plans of the Govt'

'Since ministers and

dignitaries will be present...'

'...we request you to make it

a special event with your presence'

'Our party's pillar of strength

Honorable minister for education'

'Brave-Heart Mr Balaraman

and our district collector'

'I request Hon'ble minister

Mr M.Ramaswamy'

'...to come on to the stage'

'My dear brother Das

invited me to speak in Wallajah'

'I never imagined it would be

on such a grand scale'

'If I elaborate on

our party's achievements'

'...we would be here

whole of tonight!'

'When students from lower middle class

strata of society need to study higher'

'...they can directly contact banks

which will offer loans-'

'To offer student loans to-'

Pugazh went with a big gang

and his friends to the playground
