Pugazh Page #8

---

who measured here earlier?

Yes, I did

So what now?

Dude, ask them to leave

Or else it will become disastrous

I'm handling it, right?

Come this side

You act funny with me

you'll get it real hard

Why should we clear out?

Ask them to leave first

Why are you pushing us away?

Ask them to clear out first

If anyone intends

building anything here

...it will only be

over my dead body!

Get lost!

How dare you hit one of us?

Clear all this, or else

you're in for trouble

I won't clear out

What will you do?

Clear them out

Chase them out of here

Get him

Let's get the hell out of here

Let go of me

Let go

Pugazh, let go of him

Sir, get away from here

Leave this place, sir

Do you know who he is?

He is a minister's son-in-law

Not just him

If you intend doing something

to this ground, I'll hit even you

Das, don't just keep talking

I'll let out a string of cuss words

Who tried to hit

my son-in-law?

His friend

He became a councilor

because of him!

Is he such a big shot?

No way

Just a pipsqueak

That playground

is his usual haunt

When we showed

interest in it...

...he got mad and hit him

not knowing your power

If he's a nobody,

you should've hit back

Hitting him isn't a big deal

But many who belong to

his caste live in that area

If we harm him, they will

join hands with all the other parties

Then it will be a problem

for our construction

That's why I'm buying time

Don't give lame excuses, Das

The foreigner has tested

that water and approved it

Finalize the deal

But isn't the ground water

from the leather shop?

You know only about the water

below 30 or 35 feet

He has dug 100 to 150 feet deep

And has certified it

We can't change the place

If anyone creates problems,

use money as the trump card

That's not the point-

- Bro, I'll finish the deal

- What do you mean?

Sir is prepared to pay

I'll talk to Pugazh

Why do you hesitate?

He's saying he can do it

So clinch the deal now

Okay, bro

This is a hockey tournament

that took place in 1971

We were the winners

I was in high school then

The VIP presenting the award

is the Sports minister

The person next to him

is the district collector

This was taken in 1983

Foot ball tournament

held all over the state

This is proof to show that till date

our children play in this ground

All this is okay, sir

But I had asked for

the township's old layout

Village Administrative Officer,

Tahsildar, Collector

I've even sent a petition

to the Right to Information law

We will definitely get it

With all this information

we can file a writ in the court

But before the final judgment...

...I will certainly need

the papers I had requested

I'll somehow get them

Uncle, will this work?

What if the minister uses his power

and gets a title deed as owner of the land

Will we allow him to go that far?

Won't we protest?

Why are you worried?

Uncle is saying he'll take care

As if I have 2 horns!

Like you I'm also a common man

I know our people's weakness

If a man raises his voice

against a public issue...

...they'll make him a leader

and put him on a pedestal like God

They will give him

all the responsibilities

And will walk away

least bothered!

You must have

that fighting spirit

Only then you can question

these mistakes and stop them too

Imbecile!

Uncle, why take

my words so seriously?

Next game is which player

belongs to which team?

- Delhi

- Raina

Raina plays for

Delhi it seems!

- Punjab

- Yuvaraj

Hey Venky, modeling for

Ramraj 'dhoti' commercial!

- Keep quiet

- He looks very smart

Showing off your car-status!

I'm not showing off!

Came this side

on an errand

Knew all of you will be here

Just thought I'll drop by

- Give me a cigarette

- What a prompt request!

Get us a pack of cigarettes

You have an assistant

500 bucks for that...wow!

Mahesh, go and get it

You want to pull my legs,

do so when it is just our gang

Not in front of an outsider

- What did I say now?

- No decorum at all

Why are you scolding him?

Do you remember you got to

pay the loan tomorrow?

I have the money ready

Give it to him tomorrow

I paid him yesterday

- Full amount?

- Yes

If I had known a councilor

can make so much money...

...I would've become one myself!

You could've done that

Get the details of this ground

from the municipality office

Uncle has been

asking me for it

That's exactly why Das anna

asked me to bring you over

Why?

Don't go overboard

listening to that old man

Your life will be wasted

That man will even beg

But won't let anyone help him

You should come up well in life

Don't gang up with youngsters

And poke your nose into public issues

I'll pay you a lump sum of 200,000

Back off silently

I will get the municipality to change

the flower shop in your brother's name

Don't think

I'll build a park in a corner

of the ground, okay?

What do you mean, bro?

If youngsters in our town

get good job placements...

...in Railways, TVS or Military

under the sports quota

...it's is only because

they practiced in this ground

If you want more youngsters

to come up in life...

...we need that ground

We don't need

a park to walk

But we need the ground to play

Don't talk without

knowing the details

Do you know

who is behind this?

We can't fight against them

They will anyway take

that ground from us

We might as well get money

instead of having a raw deal

That's a sign of being shrewd

Don't be so cheap

Listen, if I am talking

to you all this while...

...it's only because

I respect your father

Safeguard that respect

If I choose to do it differently...

...I can do so without

spending a single rupee

I don't want to take that route

That's why you are here

- Are you threatening me?

- Take it that way

Then take your route

Hey! Listen

'Venkat, where are you going?'

Pugazh...?

- What?

- Wait

We both played as kids

in that same ground

Aren't you attached

to that ground at all?

I'm saying this-

Our fathers and grandfathers

grew up playing in that ground

How upset you were about

losing your house document?

Is our ground different

from your house?

You're doing sleaze jobs for them

Selling your soul for money

Get lost

'Venkat'

He thinks no end of himself?

Thinks people voted

for you because of him?

Is it enough if he tells people?

Who spent the money?

Don't go to that ward

until I tell you

Only then he'll realize

Took your own sweet time

to come? Where were you?

I got ready because you said

we could go for a movie

Why is this Venkat

behaving like a fool?

He's asking us to help

the minister seize the ground?

Plus he's trying

to grease our palms!

How much we struggled to

make him the councilor?

But he seems to

be scared of Das

He doesn't have

a mind of his own

Always being brainwashed

and making a mess of his life

You think he will prosper

because of Das?

I'm pouring my heart out

and you're so silent

I was nodding my head!

How stupid of me

to think aloud to you!
