Sivaji Page #2

Synopsis: Held in a cell, Sivaji reflects how he came to be under police scrutiny and his subsequent arrest for a variety of economic offenses. He had returned to Chennai from the U.S. to live with his parents and maternal uncle, and had hoped to invest money in colleges and hospitals so that people who are not privileged can benefit - much to the chagrin of a sophisticated goon, Adisheshan, who threatens him, and asks him not to tread on his territory. Disregarding this and hoping to get his projects going, Sivaji runs into bureaucratic corruption and red-tape - so much so that he gives in and bribes an official Rs.4 Crores to complete his Rs.200 Crore project. An enraged Adisheshan has the local politician stop the work, but Sivaji bribes the latter Rs.50 Crores, after liquefying most of his assets. While he is busy wooing and attempting to marry Tamizhselvi/Vidyabharti Ramlingam, a new politician takes over, stops his project, and demands another Rs.50 Crores. Unable to come up with the money

I am busy now!

If you come to the Le Meridian bar in

the evening, we can talk leisurely!

- Have you come from US?

You would've brought foreign liquor

If you bring it, we can relax and chat

Can't you relax with local liquor?

I gave that up a long time ago

- Do you mean spending your money?

- Hold it buddy!

Please carry on.

We'll meet there.

Are we going to worship God?

- No, to admire girls!

- Girls!

Yes, we're here to find a match for you!

Change quickly!

Look there!

Something fishy is happening

inside that car.

That too, in front of the temple!

Two men inside!

Yes, both of us are men.

What's wrong in that?

How disgusting!

What's happening inside the car?

You mean that? lf we change like this,

the car won't shake

But not if we do it like this!

Raise the window!

- lf you shy.

- You may go

Something wrong.

Where is the girl?

- Yet to find one

- What?

We'll look in all the temples.

We'll fix up, if we find one!

Why have you done this to me?

Because the type of girls you want

have all joined call centers!

he girls who're not in that list...

...can be found only in weddings

or on Fridays in these temples!

- Let me see if you can find one!

- Get lost!

I don't think this will work out!

Didn't I tell you before?

The type of girls you want

have become extinct!

We'll look in two more temples!

And if it still doesn't work out...

...we'll go straight to Sri Lanka!

- Pretty girl!

- Where?

There!

Super!

Go, talk to her!

Why should l? She's your choice!

I'm embarrassed,

feel shy and very uncomfortable

to speak to a strange woman, you know?

I asked you to speak to her,

not flirt with her! Go on, talk to her!

- Excuse me

- Yes....

What do you want?

How do we go to Madras?

Are you kidding? You're in Madras.

- We've reached Madras

- Isit?

- Very kind of you!

- Come uncle, let's go!

Whom do you call uncle?

- He is my uncle!

- He is your uncle?

Yes, uncle!

They've confused me!

We've missed that auspicious girl!

Forget that auspicious girl!

Here comes a spacious one!

- Gosh, she hit me with her portico!

- Get lost...

Place an order for some

foreign whiskey and soda!

- Here we've brought this.

- That is for me to take home!

For your project,

we have to get approvals

from the fire dept., airport authority

...local municipality, water board,

TNEB, Pollution Control Board

There are council regulations to

build a medical college

We have to apply and

satisfy officials at Delhi!

We should obtain so many signatures

and sign so many papers!

It will take a year!

You should help us to speed it up!

one more large.

- What is your project's budget?

- 2 billions!

Pay me 2%, that is 40 millions rupees.

I'll finish it all quickly!

Why should I pay?

Why are you so ignorant

about this process?

You're required to pay from

the highest officials to the lowest

- What if I don't?

- The job won't get done

They neither ask explicitly

nor do they accept directly!

They should be approached and

paid through the proper channel!

You can't do all that.

But I can!

one stop shop, one more large.

Why should I pay?

Why should I pay you all?

I am trying to provide a good education

and medical facilities...

...with my honestly earned money.

Why should I bribe you?

This approval is not for doing business

but to provide service to the needy

You may be into providing

service for free, but I am not
