We have been beaten for

so many years that now...

...our skin is as hard as stone

Sticks or bullets won't touch us

any more

So don't threaten us with death,

Sanjeevani

Think it over

l won't leave without madam

Who said you were leaving? Eh?

Who said so?

He's no enemy. He's right

Then go to the lnspector. Get a

uniform and shoot me in the back

But he's talking of peace

Peace?

With ten truckloads of ammunition?

The spy was sent to gauge

our strength

What is our strength?

Shall l tell you? You are

our strength

But you seem to have weakened

Hariya

lt's the truth

A curse has fallen on us

since she came here

Everything has gone wrong.

She'll devour us all

She's already devoured you

You said she'd die in 14 hours

That became 14 days

Not in 14 years will you let her go...

Hit me, brother

l know you're thinking the same

Make him see sense

Big mistake him going there

Explain

A mistake sending him alone.

Let me talk to the lnspector

You can't open your mouth

without using foul language

Let me go

Don't take me for a child

Listen to me for once

l won't let you down

l went where no one goes

Came back from where

no one escapes

l told you l'd find madam.

l have, sir!

l deserve a medal. Gold or silver

-Have you brought Beera?

-His brother is here

To make a peace pact

Hariya

Come on out

l am alone

Look

The gun is empty

We have two conditions

All cases must be dropped.

Take your army and go

You talk like a police officer

l came here to talk peace

l want peace too

Send Ragini back

Beera will come to no harm

Come out when you want to talk

l'll wait in my tent

Do l tell Beera you're ready

for peace?

Do l tell Beera you'll accept peace?

l only grazed you. Next time

you won't be so lucky

l came to talk peace

Hariya, don't run

lnspector

Let the battle begin.

Cleanse the Iand

Hemant

When the net is drawn in,

even rivers are entangled

No way out. No desire to Iive

Hemant

Clap your hands!

The lnspector's coming

Not walking. He's running. Run!

Where is Ragini?

Where is Ragini?

Where is Jamuniya?

Where is Hariya?

You won't be spared today

Say your prayers

lnspector?

Bravo!

No army today. No guns

No uniform either

Alone today

Beera, let go of his hand

Let him fall and plunge

screaming to his death

Where is he?

What happened?

You thought it was your husband

What have you done to him?

He's God to you

l am a demon. A ten-headed demon

Tell me he's all right

Don't make me beg

Answer me

Tell me he's all right

lsn't he?

He was dangling...

...from a bridge. Seething with anger.

Furrowed brow

Hold it tight

lnspector

Your lnspector is in a big hurry

Slithering like a snake

to strike me

Do me a favour

l don't do favours

Don't kill Dev

-lf you survive, one of us dies

-l'll let go of the rope

Or shoot you

You think l'd give you

a loaded gun?

Always wondered who'd take

my life in the end

Fire one bullet

Me

You

The lnspector

We'll all be free

Release me

Aim right here

All over in an instant

l'll die happy

Laughing

And if l stay...

You'll stay?

Here? With us?

lf l don't kill the lnspector...

...you'll stay

For me alone

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

You came 14 days late.

Why not in 14 minutes?

You had me scared

Where is he?

l'm here. What more do you want?

Where are you?

Did you come for me? Orfor him?

Let's go

Beera, l'll be back

Ourwar isn't over

Take me home

Take me home

Did he raise a hand on you?

Did he hurt you?

No

lntimidate you? Threaten you?

Didn't touch you, did he?

What took place between you

and Beera?

You were there for 14 days

l know what you're asking

Look at me

Can't you tell?

Ok. Take a lie detectortest

Doesn't it sicken you asking me that?

lf you're telling the truth, why

fearthe test?

l've lived on hope for 14 days

But your 10 words now

make me wish l was dead

The truth always hurts

-How do you know what's true?

-He told me

He said:

''My hands are sullied. But your

wife isn't pure as gold''

-He couldn't have said that

-He said a lot more

Shall l tell you bit by bit?

Or all in one go?

And you believed him?

No reason not to

-l'm getting off this train

-Who's stopping you?

Do you want to throw me

out of your life?

l want to be rid of the lies

l'm not lying, Dev

Not you

But yourface...your eyes

Everything tells me you're lying

All lies

You shouldn't have come back

Even if l knew where Beera is,

l mustn't tell you

l don't know why you came back

lf anger brings you here, then

kindly go home

You're back

What did you tell Dev?

l can't hear a word

What am l to you? A weapon

to win yourwar?

Slow down! l can't hearyou

What did you tell Dev?

What did you say? Tell me

Hey, Beera

Shall l let go?

Let him fall and smash into bits

Let the bastard plunge screaming

into the jungle

l could kill you foryourwife

Or spare you for her

Shall l let go? Or save you?

What did you tell him about me?

You're a lucky man

Very lucky

Yourwife is like gold

Throw gold into fire...

...it glows brighter...

...and becomes purer

My hands may be sullied...

...but l've looked afteryourwife

with much respect

What else did you say?

Before the beast in me stirs...

...take her away

Take her home

Come up

Tears on a joyous day?

Swallow those tears

No crying

Stop yourtears...stop them

Now l know why l'm still alive

Many have tried to kill me.

With sticks, bullets and bombs

But l survived

l get it now

lf l had died, how would l

have met you?

Dev didn't listen to me. He said

such terrible things

Unpleasant things

Unpleasant things? But why?

He's smart. Educated

He's suspicious of me

Suspicious?

Whateverfor?

But why...

lnspector!

-Dev doesn't know l'm here

-Cunning!

What a devious way to trap me

He knows exactly how to

get to me

Bravo!

l told you l'd come back

Shoot

Go on, shoot

Show the world who is a God.

And who is a demon. Shoot

Shoot me

You'll have to shoot me ten times

Ragini, move

Even if you kill me,

you cannot take what l have

Move

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…
