Kalia!

All three of them

must know my pain.

Make sure all three of them are...

Tell me dear father-in-law?

I am on my way there.

I'll be there in 15 minutes.

Ok. I shall hang up now.

None of them should be alive

to see the sunrise tomorrow.

Finish of these three.

Excuse me. Which is Ravi's room?

The third room.

On the radio:
Election

approaching soon.

Buddy!

Welcome. How are you?

Well, I'm ok.

So you got the address right.

Well, it was not a big deal.

How's everyone back in native?

Everyone's fine.

Then why are you here?

Didn't I mention in the call?

It's all about my job.

Oh yeah. I forgot.

When's the interview?

Interview?

I'm yet to start the job hunt.

Yet to start?

Drat!

Today's horoscope did

hint a bad time for me.

Well, here I'm in the soup!

Ravi...

get me a job under the MLA.

I can handle any work.

Well...

I can also take pride

in working for him.

It's impossible right now.

He is quite busy with the

preparations for the election.

Let's wait till the

election gets over.

Buddy! Chennai might appear to be

a bright city from the outside.

Only after stepping in,

you realize that...

everyone is actually burned out

That might hold true for others.

You..

work for the MLA!

Why would you be burned out?

I could boast about

being MLA's driver

Reality is that it's been 2 months since

I got any salary. Some how I'm managing!

What do you mean?

Look, It's him calling. The MLA!

Hand me the money for the food.

Tell me chief.

Is everything done?

Yes, I'm done with all the

tasks you assigned me.

Hope the plan is on course.

Go meet the district head.

Sure. I'll go meet

him today evening.

Ok. Another important thing.

Looks like 500 and 1000 currency

notes are banned from tomorrow.

Replace the old currencies

we've got with the new ones.

We will need it

for the election.

Ok chief. That can be arranged.

Fine. Hang up now.

Ok.

How much for the food?

200 bucks.

Hey...

there is 50 bucks

extra in the change.

Bhai will never make a mistake.

Believe me buddy! Just count it.

- See I told you.

- Sorry Bai. Didn't notice.

You fool!

Even I knew that there was extra

50 bucks in it but never mind it!

That Bai earns a lot.

- 50 bucks ain't gonna make a difference.

- Well, buddy...

Listen dear! You will never succeed

in life if you stay so innocent.

If you ever wanna succeed in life...

then you must follow 3 rules.

Rule #1:
Don't trust anyone.

Even if it's your own brother.

- Even if it's your?

- Own brother.

Good boy.

Rule #2:
You must

learn to lie a lot.

Rule #3:
Never lend or donate

money to anyone because...

if anyone makes it big

in life from your help...

they will never be thankful to you.

And remember that above all, if you

set your sights on achieving a goal...

then make sure you don't care for

anyone and achieve your goal.

Even if it's me.

These habits will never occur naturally.

We must gradually make it a habit.

If you want to master these

habits then I know a person.

The only popular person in Chennai,

especially in this particular domain.

He is...

Title:
THAPPU THANDA

( Mischievious Fraud)

Sir, I'm waiting at the

entrance of 'Art of Theft'.

Awesome darling.

Do you see a pair of

slippers at the entrance?

Yes. I see the slippers.

Do you see a clay vessel

right next to it?

Yes. I see that too.

Do you see a fresh

plant next to it?

Fresh plant? I see

a crushed plant!

Now, uproot it.

Is that what I'm supposed to do?

Now do it!

Notice the key?

Yes. I got the key.

Now, back to the door

at the entrance.

Sir, but the lock is sealed.

Really? Just lift it.

Now open and get in.

Sir...

I'm inside.

Turn left and follow

the arrow marks.

Guru 'EYE'MAX?

Whoa! There is a

theater in here!

Now hang up!

Don't you have any other

work than making calls?

Look at the crappy tattoo

on his bald head!

Sir, I'm Vetri.

Greetings.

- So do you...

- Greetings.

- Do you have any prior...

- Greetings.

- Any experience...

- Greetings.

You!

Can't you see I'm

talking to you?!

I am asking if you've got any prior experience

but you seemed to be keen on greeting!

Beware or I'll rip you apart!

Boss! Cool! Cool.

So, as I was asking...

Do you have any prior

experience in this field?

Yes! When I was in the 10th grade...

I flicked Kokila's....

I'm not asking that!

Yes. It's indeed that.

I said I 'flicked' her geometry kit!

Geometry kit?

Mr. High, where

did you find him?

Boss, our friend Ravi

recommended him.

Is it? Our friend Ravi?

Yes boss.

Why didn't you mention earlier,

that you are Ravi's friend?

It's ok dear, that you

don't have any experience.

It's not like I am born thief.

Our society and our plight is

what pushed us to become so.

You are selected.

Thank you chief.

Thank you chief.

Dear.

Your father-in-law

is furious with you.

For what?

Kannamma...

have you started?

Don't waste your lunch.

Eat it fully.

I've kept some money

by mom's photo.

Take it.

Come back home early.

Take care.

I shall hang up now.

Well, the election date is approaching...

and he is furious that you haven't

kick started any preparation.

Come on now...

he just won't listen to me.

He is adamant that I obey him.

I am not at all interested

in bribing people for votes.

All the parties do the same thing.

I wanna do something new.

Leave it.

I'll convince him in person.

- Mr. High!

- Yes chief...

Who ever arrives first

in the class tomorrow...

- will be allowed to do practicals..

- Ok boss

Who is he?

He looks like a typhoid

affected Will Smith.

Hi. I am Mr. Wild Cat.

I had forwarded my resume...

and you had shortlisted me.

Hence...

- I just came by.

- Listen brother.

Do you have any recommendation?

Nope.

Then you do one thing,

join the next batch.

There is no vacancy in this batch.

Sorry.

Chief.

Come on, ours is the only profession

where you don't need a recommendation.

Has things changed here too?

I understand you

excitement and eagerness.

I quit all my job just

to join under you.

Just give me a chance chief.

I'll definitely impress you.

Under technical skills,

you have mentioned "Variety"

Can you explain me the variety

of theft you have done?

In Malaysia...

a flight went missing.

Who do you think abducted it?

It was my gang.

Then, Facebook owner,

what's his name?

Yeah, Sugarboy!

Sugarboy?

Yeah!

Small boy!

Who do you think

hacked his password?

It's me!

Stop showing faces!

Tell me Kumar.

Where?

In Switzerland?

Ok. Let's get it done.

Chief, see even now

Kumar is calling me.

To rob the swiss bank.

Hope now you realize,

how busy I am?

I got white on my hands! Oh!

I got white on my hands!

Why not select him boss?

He is over qualified.

Allow him and he'll gobble us up!

You!

Sorry.

You are rejected.

It's ok.

But the loss...

is yours.

A true talent...

seldom gets recognized.

Bye.

Keep it down.

You will need it.

I got white on my

hands, oh baby!

Welcome to, Kirtilal

Jewelers presents....
