Went with Bhuvana akka

to the fancy store nearby

Selvi, bring water

Sister-in-law,

get him water please

You go and give him water

Selvi, I asked for

a glass of water

Can't you hear him yelling?

He's asking for water

I'm stringing the flowers

He asked her, right?

Hey, you go

I got the book you wanted

for Computer Science

Check if this is the one

You keep it there

I'll take it later

Where's mother?

She must have gone to consult

either a sage or an astrologer

She will be seeking

blessings or predictions

I'm going to the store

Need anything?

No, dear

Nothing

Do you want anything, dear?

Dad, I want an ice cream

Okay, hold this

Don't buy whatever he asks

As it is, he has cavities

Look who's talking!

Trying to dodge me?

Why would I do that?

Didn't I warn you

not to go around with that girl?

You are mistaken about her

What did I think of her?

You saw something

and thought something else

Sister-in-law

Bhuvana akka's friend is

getting married it seems

She came with her fianc

to invite Bhuvana akka

Sir saw him and

jumped to conclusions

Why invite someone

in a coffee shop?

Can't he invite her at home?

It's only 4 months

since he joined the party

You are giving him a seat

I've worked for this party

for the past 20 years

I will contest from

this 6th ward

If you want to contest, can you

spend that kind of money?

Party head office has allocated

only Rs 20000 per ward

How will that be enough?

If he runs, he'll spend 1000000

Can you do it?

We have a letter from the head office

asking us to give him a seat

Nothing can be done

If you want,

contest in the 7th ward

Acting funny?

You want me to

end up a pauper?

If I ever step into

your party office...

...hit me with your sandals

I don't want to have

anything to do with you

That's it

Leave me alone

Anbu

What, Das?

When our party declared all shops

to be closed for a protest...

...who broke the shops in the night?

You and me, right?

When buses were burnt, we were

locked up in jail for 6 months

And the police

broke our legs

Where were these chaps then?

I am well aware of all that

Just pipe down

Leader, give his 'dhoti' back

Takes it off happily

at the drop of a hat!

Give this to him

Announce the candidate

from the 7th ward

Thinking of 'Canopy Palani'

for running in the 7th ward

Does anyone have any objection?

We lost the Chairman post last time

only because we lost in that ward

How can you repeat the same mistake?

Select a better candidate, bro

What do I lack?

I'll spend for the election

by even selling my house

Palani, don't think

I'm finding fault with you

In that ward, we don't

even have 50 of our men

Let's get a local candidate

He needn't be from our party

Okay then, suggest a person

How about Vellampatti Mahesh?

They have a clean 60% majority

I cajoled him

even last time

But he refused

As if you're oblivious to this

If you want,

you try talking to him

Okay, let us think

of someone else

Suggest a name

How about our Pugazh?

- Who?

- Mr Sadasivan's son

That's a good idea

Any hassle, he is

the 1st one to show up

All that won't work

Be practical

Why not?

Somewhere from the head office,

they will send in a list of names

With no idea of the influence

or affluence of the candidate

Only we know inside out

Let Pugazh contest from that ward

We can win hands down

What he says makes sense

So you want a young

novice to stand?

Das, don't bring your personal

anger into party decisions

You know if he runs

we'll win 100%

Then why hesitate?

Last time we lost only

because of that ward

Don't you remember?

If you can't do it, let us know

We will talk to him

What are you doing here

not even coming home?

Just like that

Your mother visited my place

- What does she want?

- Don't know

She wanted to talk

to you about something

No need, if she hears my voice

she will start crying

Please talk

Kalai, what's the score?

I'll come

Okay, ma

- Here

- What did she say?

She has her own problems

I believe uncle, aunt,

Sandhya are all visiting us

And if I'm not at home,

it will seem very odd

We've already given

our house documents to him

In another 4 months if I don't pay up

my family will come to the streets

And they are making

wedding plans

Pugazh, Das anna

wants to talk to you

Tell me, anna

Looks like

you're still angry

No, not at all

- Do you know why I'm here?

- Yes, I know

People in the party

feel strongly about it

I'm not interested

in contesting

People are fighting over seats

You're being so indifferent

I don't have much faith

in politics or politicians

People who tonsure

their heads in temples...

...believe God will help them

But people who vote don't even

have that belief in their candidate!

If we have a problem

only we must handle it

You seem very naive, my boy

I thought only Pugazh doesn't

know to use a golden chance

But you are also like him!

I don't want politics

Tell me if there is

a way to earn money

Other than politics which job

gives you instant cash?

How do you think

I own all this?

Thanks to politics only

Tell your friends you'll be

contesting from the 7th ward

Ask them to help you

Don't worry, I'll take care

of all the expenses

How can I contest

from the 7th ward?

It isn't even my ward

I know who should contest

from which ward

You can come out of

your financial mess...

...only if you do

something like this

He's willing to take care

of all the expenses, right?

Can I go to him

for 5s and 10s?

Why are you missing

a golden chance?

I'm seriously discussing

Don't play the fool

What do you mean 'don't play the fool'?

We are encouraging you

If I run, who will vote for me?

- Naikar

- Tell me

Won't you vote for Venkat

if he contests?

I'll vote for whomever

you ask me to, Pugazh

- Then you won't take any bribe

- Be serious!

Sudha, will you vote

for Venkat if he contests?

I'll blindly follow

your suggestion

Satisfied?

She isn't even eligible to vote?

Trust you to note all this!

Give me 2 cigarettes

No cigarettes here

Let me get it from

the opposite shop

Why are you

raising his hopes?

I don't think

all this will work

He is negative by nature

1st time in his life,

he is being positive

We know he likes it

We can face

whatever comes our way

The election is round the corner

An expensive affair

Keep this for now

Next time I'll take on

the entire expenditure, okay?

Thank you

They think I own the quarry

Only I know

I'm just a puppet

I told you to ask him

Ask just this time, ma

You ask

What are you both

muttering about?

- Your son wants a bike

- I'll get him one soon

Come up with some excuse or the other

He keeps bugging me

Tell him a proper date

when you'll buy it

Why pay from our pocket?

The Assembly election

is just a year away

Like giving free cycle,

TV and computer...

...they might also give

a bike as freebie

I swear you're born

with the gift of the gab

God knows where you get money
