Denied capital by his very strict father to start his business Arumai Prakasam stages his own kidnap, but ends up in the hands of Das and co. The comedy of errors takes a turn when the finance minister wants to catch the culprits, and gives the task to a very strict, encounter specialist cop, Brahmma.

Dummy Police

Check around and see

if anyone's there

Upstairs

- He's alive

- But passed out

So where are

his kidnappers?

'We will tiffen and parsel

food to you and be back'

- How do we wake him up?

- Impossible!

Dude... police

Get into the car... start

Go... go... go

Dai! Kesava...?

Then, you arranged

the previous kidnapping?

How much were you

planning to ask your dad?

Huh?

I'll keep guessing the amount,

you just shake your head

10 million?

20 million?

30 million?

Have you called home as yet?

Son, this isn't your plan

anymore, it's ours...!

We intend

asking 20 million

When ransom is 50,000

we tip Rs 1000 or 2000

Since this is 20 million,

I'll tip you 200000

You must stay quiet

and not be a pain... okay?

What?

Angry man...!

Sir... sir?

Good day!

1st let me go in

Only your petition, sir

Sit... sit

Sir do you think you can

win without money?

I believe honesty is

the best policy in politics

With what margin

will you win, sir?

Sir, 1 last question

Sir, according to

Loyola's poll survey...

...this time also

you'll definitely win

Hello? Pull up along

the kerb, please

Why?

Sir, you've got

an important call

Sir, someone has

kidnapped our Arumai

Hello?

Sir, don't be tensed

We've kidnapped your son

but our needs are very limited

Sir?

Sir, don't take any rash

decisions in anger

Please listen

to what we say

We only need

Rs 20 million

Please don't go

to the police

I beg of you

'What, love?'

He cut the line

I was talking to your father

and he hung up on me!

Is that man mad?

Take that off

What did you say?

I said 'watch TV'

'During election time when law

has loosened its iron grip...'

'...a few anti-social elements

have shown their handiwork!'

'I would like to

make my point clear'

'I'll only rescue my son

through proper lawful means'

'And not succumb

to their demands'

'Minister Gnyanodhayam-'

'Let's leave them

and escape, hon! '

'When in danger

it isn't a sin'

- What is this?

- 'What?'

Why are you in

a swim suit now?

He lives life

'king size', da!

'You looked tensed

I wanted to de-stress you'

Change your dress please

and don't talk for a while

The minister seems

to be a crazy father!

Untie him and

take his gag off

All we wanted was 20 million

and he's moaning and groaning!

If you'd asked for 30 million, he'd have

just ignored you and gone back to work

Finish eating

We'll drop you back

Is 50-50 okay?

You might as well

have asked for 30 million

That won't work now

So we'll have to settle for 20

I get 10 million

and you get the same

Okay?

If you ask, will your

father give it on a platter?

I'll take care of that

Is the deal okay?

Boss, we are 4 of us

You are single

How will 50-50 be fair?

It's only right

to split it 5 ways

I don't hate you guys

That's why I offered 50-50

Otherwise you won't

even get that

You ruined my plan and now

like losers, sending me back home

You call that 'talent'!

I should by rights give you

only driver's wages for a day

I was being humane

offering you 10 million

If you want it, take it

Otherwise leave it

Boss, I think

50-50 is okay

I think so too

We're doing it

with his consent

'Didn't I say, honey

you're a real man?'

'Throw the net

and catch the fish!'

Okay, tell me

what your plan is

I'll make the call now

Strangle me when

I give you the signal

Grab like this... got it?

Not to the extent I die but

such that my voice is garbled

Say something

My way is

unique way

That's right

Understand?

Give me a coin

'We should take him

into our team, love'

'What a pro!'

- Hello?

- Hello, call my mother

Wait, son, I'll call her

- Arumai?

- Mother... maaa... maaaa!

Arumai, where are you, dear?

Maaa, forgive me!

Why are you talking like this?

I wanted to hear you

once before I die-

Don't say such things

How sad you were born to

that stupid, cheap, man!

Don't malign

your husband

Mom, please don't stage a protest

in front of the chief minister's house!

My father is a poor soul

Don't do anything like that

even if I die, ma

Don't say all that!

Don't forget me, ma

Order a tea for me

Save him, sir, save him!

Did you get only my son to use as

scapegoat in your political moves?

Save my son, sir

His father is heartless

'Minister Gnanodayam's wife

pleaded for her son's life...'

'...outside the Chief Minister's house

creating a furor amongst the public'

'A lot of women came along to

lament and support her struggle'

'Chief Minister has called the minister

to talk about this issue immediately'

I heard your wife is

making waves on TV

Come in

Shut up and just

read the paper

Good day, sir

Sit down

Don't pick up

if he calls again

- Another rep to Delhi...?

- I don't want your stupid ideas!

- Yes, man

- Forgive me, sir

- My wife didn't know... and...

- What did she do wrong?

You are not worth a pie!

Why do we have you in our cabinet?

To enhance

our party's image

Even that is now tarnished

If there's an election, your wife

will ensure you lose your deposit

She won't go off to

the opposition, will she?

I won't let her do all that

What do you mean

you won't let her?

Always trying to

earn a good name

Your son

has been kidnapped

How does integrity

come into this?

What do we do?

Do you have 20 million

hidden somewhere?

No, sir, I swear I've never taken money

from anyone other than my salary

Okay, take 20 million

from the party's funds

Go and rescue your son

And don't hit your wife

She'll hit the headlines with it

Sir, I've told the police

They said they'll catch the-

Mad fellow!

Why the police?

To mess it up?

Just pay them off

and get your son back

Understand?

Go

Please drink

some water at least

You've got a call

from them, sir

Do what you want

Hello

Good day, sir, I am your

son's kidnapper speaking

I know... I know

Tell me!

We'll tell you when and where to bring

the money and you do so accordingly

We won't work tomorrow

because it's Sunday

But you'll get a call day after

with all the instructions

Just follow it

Be ready with the money and

to leave as soon as we call

And most importantly...

...the boy's mother only

has to bring the money

All conditions apply

You're playing unaware

of your opponent's power

If I ever get hold-

C. Manigandan IPS

Hello?

I'm Gnanodayam speaking

I know, tell me,

brother-in-law

He said I should pay him

the ransom money by Monday

He's threatening me on the phone

We need to catch them by then

Your leader has asked

you not to involve the police

And to finish it off simply, no?

What do you

mean 'simply'?

You want me to pay them and

beg for my son to be returned?

We aren't saying this

Your leader is

Why should

the news reach him?

If you catch them

why would he bother?

It's your responsibility

to catch them

Listen to me-

Sir, this phone is too small

to put a tracking chip in

Can you catch them or not?

Don't get tensed

Sit down

You've been saying this

for past 4 days, I can't concentrate
