'The reason for this 8 year old's inherent violence is because...'

'...he knows he can never buy this car in his lifetime.'

'Not just diabetes or blood pressure,'

'Even the violence that stems out of social disparities is genetic too!'

This is the sales graph of New Fedora company,

our Indian associate...

All our partners have made us lead, in their respective countries...

...except in India.

Because Saffron company is number one there.

We see it.

Your India is the largest consumer market in the world.

As your company remains second, we can't be...

...at position number one! in the global market.

You have time till next April.

Legal or illegal,

But just makes us number one in India if you want to continue.

Got it?

Yes Sir.

Come on worker!

'The Worker' "Your fingertips transform into tools"

"You make the world, worker!"

"You embrace pain and churn out vision!"

"You're the boss, dear worker!"

"Won't your tribe increase!"

"Won't it?"

"Won't your sweat make a mark?"

"Won't it?"

"Lift the world on your shoulders"

"Oh worker!"

"The Gods shall descend on your palanquin!"

"Come on, worker!"

"May isn't your only month, dear worker!"

"You'll be celebrated every day, rise dear worker!"

"Your fingertips transform into tools"

"You make the world, worker!"

"You embrace pain and churn out vision!"

"You're the boss, dear worker!"

'Shall we start?'

'Hello everyone...

'This is your Arivu speaking'

'When I was in Polytechnic school, we started a...'

'...community radio exclusive to our college...'

'...by me and my friends.

'It made me very popular and got me new friends too!'

'It helped us discover each others' strengths...'

'It was very useful'

'That's when I realized...'

'...it could be useful for Kolakaarakuppam, the place where I was born and raised,'

'hence I wanted to start a radio here!'

'With tiny savings and with all of your contribution,'

I could finally launch KUPPAM FM today!

'When I was young, I asked someone'

'Why were we born here?'

'Why should we struggle?'

'When will we get out of here?'

'Do you know what he said?'

Don't be trapped under circumstances,

instead try to change it in your favor!

That someone is...

- None other than Mr.Kasi. - Did I say that?

Of course brother! You said it.

Your friend here is trying to brownnose me.

Not really,

he always respects you a lot.

Continue...

Not just words...

He literally has changed the fate of our slum

And is our undisputed King today!

So I don't know if it's possible to...

- Hey! - Bro...

Are you cuddling him?

He has embezzled money using my name.

Just knock him out completely. Just punch him in the face!

Continue reading...

though I can't make you all happy the way kasi brother does,

- I'll try my best to entertain you. - Tell him I'll come!

KUPPAM FM is pure entertainment! That's it bro!

Move away

All I need is your permission to start this FM.

Guys...

Why is he hell bent on starting an FM channel?

Will it be profitable?

I'm not doing this for money, it's my passion.

Passion, my foot!

Even the children in this slum make 15 grand a week.

- Hey Muthu... - Bro...

- How much did your son make? - 2 lacs bro!

Hear it out,

He surrendered for just 2 months and earned a hefty sum!

Try to learn.

Start the car

Bro,I've struggled for 6 months to start this...

Please bro...

- Everything is ready. - Stop the car

- Hey Anbu! - Bro, Sorry

- Bro, please consider... - Get in the car

Don't keep your husband locked up with you all the time...

- Nothing of that sort bro. - Send him to work

Bro,please...

Atleast give me 10 days!

I'll stop this, if you don't like it...

Oh God, don't nag! Go ahead and start it.

Thanks Bro!

On cue, listen to Kuppam FM...

Dad, please inaugurate.

Why is there a rod instead of a ribbon?

Ribbons are a clich for a world-class welder like you.

Go ahead and rip it dad!

Don't you think it's too much?

Chill mom...watch out for the fireworks now!

Mom, come here.

I know you don't like this stuff,

but still flag-off those buttons, for my sake.

- This button? - Yes.

- God bless you! - Thank you.

Warm greetings to the folks of Kolakaara kuppam!

And Happy Ayudha Pooja!

This is your Arivu on Kuppam FM 90.8

and you're listening to, "Let's chat with ARIVU(sense).

- Kumar, can you hear it? - Very well.

Next to me is Mr.Sadasivam, a Mason, 88 years old...

Looks like Mr.Sadasivam is the chief guest!

- Please talk on the mic. - Lean forward.

Our slum is actually not Kolakaarakuppam (Killer slum),

it was Cooliekaarakuppam (workers' slum).

When the Brits ruled, they hired us to build some of the iconic buildings

We built the Ripon and Central station.

This gong here...

Don't point here. The gong is over there.

Whenever our mason would ring that,

we would know it was a cue for us to rush to work.

When you made me ring it today; the sound made me nostalgic.

That was Mr.Sadasivam sharing his experience with us.

Like he said our slum is legendary,

as we have multi-faceted people from all walks of life

like plumbers, carpenters, fishermen,

electricians, painters...etc.,. residing here.

Cooliekaarakuppam is now being called Kolakaarakuppam.

How audacious of our neighbors!

Either call us Cooliekaarakuppam or Kasi's Slum.

He rocks man!

There are two upsetting things in the world;

One is ignorance and the other is apathy.

To make you understand that;

I'm here to use this radio as a tool.

That's why I chose this auspicious day to launch this FM!

Anyone can share their problems or give solutions,

Kuppam FM will be a bridge to everyone.

90.8. Let's chat with Arivu...

- Also let's chat with some sense. - Yes please!

We'll start today with a music fest,

If you're wondering who it is...

it is our very own... famous... Sengamalam troupe!

These talented girls, are gonna kickoff the music.

Start music!

They're damn slow!

I don't think this will work out...

We'd better guide them!

"This is Kuppam FM, 90.8!"

"Let's chat with Arivu"...

"We'll dance the talk!"

"Black people are stereotyped savagely"

"Let's change their notion, fell as!"

"Toilers are us; Don't cast us aside"

"Come, let's show the world!"

"Buddy!"

"Black people are stereotyped"

"Toilers are us"

"Our city just became a metro"

"The reason for the change are our bros!"

"Though our conditions are nasty our place is the heart of the city!"

"Black people are stereotyped savagely"

"Let's change their notion, fell as!"

"Toilers are us; Don't cast us aside"

"Come, let's show the world!"

"You effing morons!"

"Black people are stereotyped"

"Toilers are us"

Four bouncers are required in Supreme hotel

Eligible guys, please rush!

Did you see what's happening there?

Santa, I heard you were my fanatic!

- How could you litter here? - Wow, my idol!

Try to keep your house clean; but not at the cost of our roads!

Cleanliness is next to Godliness!

I'll follow it, hero!

My son rocks!

Our area is Kasi Kuppam

We'll all be united!

We don't care who you are!
