Beera casts a long shadow

Nothing happens without his say.

Good or bad

l came to Laal Maati to meet

men who don't like us...

...to tell them that we mean business

His two brothers, his front men...

...MangaI and Hariya

We can be friends...

...orwe can be enemies

You won't find a worse enemy than me

He's the deviIfor some

And an angeIfor others

He's the Iaw and Iawmaker

Beera is there when blood is shed...

...or takes revenge for any kiIIings

ls he a Raavan? Or a Robin Hood?

For us he's Raavan

They say Beera can be in

Now sir is here.

Something will happen

I'II be the one who wiIIfinish

this Raavan

Be brave, Ragini

Dev, sir!

Stop the jeep!

lnspector, don't look in the water

The boatman is here

Don't chew that

Beera? He's headed east?

Toward the rock

How do you know?

He told you?

Beera is nuts

He ties the boatman and tells him

where he's heading

Are we looking for him?

Or is he looking for us?

What else did he say?

''The police can't find...

''...their own fathers...

''...how will they find Beera?''

You want me to repeat that?

l'll kill you

Don't die

Some water

Ragini?

ls Ragini with them?

Did you see her?

How is she? Tell me

Tell me. How is she?

Get up!

Stay away!

Let go of me

Don't touch me. Let go

Leave me alone

Be quiet!

Be quiet. Sit still

Quiet! Or l'll chop you up

You'll die soon enough

Beera will kill you.

You unlucky wretch

l'm not dying

Who are you to kill me?

Will your enmity end with my death?

Kill her

Kill her or she won't stop yapping

Avenge yourself

Teach herwhat revenge is

l'm not dying

Knives are rattling in my head

Sweet revenge

l'm not dying

A good deed. A bad

A question. An answer

How do you want to die?

You can't kill me

Die laughing and you'll laugh

forthe next 7 lives

lf l die, it's on my terms

Hey, you girl

A tear feIIfrom an eye.

A spark fIickered

Set burning hope aIiht

SIake untamed thirst

O rain, soak me tiII I dissoIve...

...into the flowing waters

O let me flow

Let me flow Iike water flows

Quiet!

You survived. Yet you cry?

l'm not crying

Swallow yourtears

Enough crying

Oryou'll find no man worse

than me

No man is worse than you

Uncouth beast. You monster

Fiend. No insults in the world

are enough foryou

Bravo, Beera

Betterto hear swearwords than

a woman sobbing

What remained has been

washed away

Let me flow

FiIIing me. BIurring time

Obsessing the core of me

I have nothing. What can I lose?

My Iife is Yours.

To sacrifice for You

Even goats look before jumping.

And you just jumped

You crazy?

Vultures won't devouryou

Then why did you want to kill me?

Killing you was written in my fate

Some bastard erased it

But your death is written

in my fate

You know, right?

No bastard will erase it

I hear the drowning come with pleas

to Your threshold

With sinking hearts they come...

...to drown some more

Erase the Iine of the shore

Flow on

Overturn the mistream

Let a spark fIy from the ash

Let a tear faIIfrom the eye

He urges you to flow on

And flood the world

Let me flow

l think l know why you didn't

kill her

lf you had killed her, a case

would be filed

Hariya or l would only need to

serve six years foryou

A light flashed in my head

l thought to myself, ah!

He has another plan

Damn

l stand with a gun in my hand

She's minutes from death

Yet no fear in her eyes

How to kill someone who

doesn't fear death?

This is no circus. Go!

We're in a jungle. No saree shops

Wearwhat we have

And look savage like us

l'll cut off yourtails. Go!

How arrogant! Doesn't fear guns.

Doesn't laugh at my jokes

This will make you happy

To hell with yourfood!

l'm not an animal you tie and feed

when it pleases you

l don't want it

You snobs! You first kick me,

then kick the food

lt's food. Be grateful.

We sweat blood to get food

We won't tolerate you insulting it

And the way you insult me?

So is this how you treat a woman?

What next?

Crazy woman. Even my wife

doesn't abuse me like you

Eat, if you're hungry. Or kill me if

you think l'm a foe. Your choice

Bravo! At last you eat our salt

Don't worry.

l won't make you pay for it. Eat up!

Nothing to worry about.

lt's thunder

No, a pistol shot

Maybe

Now behave yourselves.

You're in good company

A police officer is here. He won't

harm you. You don't harm him

Where is Beera? Where is he?

Mani Ratnam

Gopala Ratnam Subramaniam (born 2 June 1956), commonly known by his screen name Mani Ratnam, is an Indian film director, screenwriter, and producer who predominantly works in Tamil cinema. The Government of India honoured him with the Padma Shri, acknowledging his contributions to film in 2002. Despite being born into a film family, Mani Ratnam did not develop any interest towards films when he was young. Upon completion of his post graduation in management, he started his career as a consultant. He entered the film industry through the 1983 Kannada film Pallavi Anu Pallavi. The failure of his subsequent films would mean that he was left with fewer offers. However, his fifth directorial outing, Mouna Ragam (1986), established him as a leading filmmaker in Tamil cinema. He followed that with Nayakan (1987). Mani Ratnam is well known for his "Terrorism trilogy" consisting of Roja (1992), Bombay (1995), and Dil Se.. (1998). Mani Ratnam is married to Tamil actress Suhasini and has a son with her. He has won several film awards, including six National Film Awards, six Filmfare Awards South and three Bollywood Filmfare Awards. more…
