Maybe other informers amongst us

Beera knows aII our pIans.

Is anyone there?

Mr. Hemant!

The tongue?

Shall l cut your nose off?

The ears? Ears are good

What a pleasure

Do l make him bald?

Well, it's yourturn next

Don't shave my head

Hariya lost his bet

Hariya lost his bet to Mangal

Said he'd go bald if we returned

alive from the camp. Shave him!

l saw it

ln his tent

A photo...

...of me

A demon's photo in a king's tent

Time to hit back!

Hit the naiI!

It isn't far

Coming to DeIhi?

Staring, gIaring, lording over us

O jungle cat

Strike it!

Swing the bat

Strike the baII

If the smug are over-smart,

we take controI

Gobbled truth and Ile

In songs chanted to us

But when we di the singing...

...aIIdancing stopped

Lying and cunning dancer

Not mother to anyone

Stuffed with treason

Without rhyme or reason

CaIIing us backward. Mocking us.

O DeIhi

Darkness robbed niht's jeweIs

Robbed moon and star cIusters

Dawn has broken. Our day has come

Who has the guts to

stub out the sun?

Let us sit together.

Open our hearts

They reIish bananas and hurI

the peeIs for us

CaIIing us backward. Mocking us.

O DeIhi

We leave our necks at home,

lowered as they are

Corpses with drooping necks

have need of short graves

The age-old story of hih and low

goes on and on

Time to settle scores.

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…
