Or the company's number given on the card.

Arivu, this guy had a look at our TV problem...

and recommended installing this.

Else it would have been a total loss for us.

He had one last product, and sold it to us

It costs 4000, instead he sold it for a discount.

Middle class guys have the same mindset

We can't sell even essentials at the end of the month

But we can sell even unnecessary items, if we approach them on the 1st!

Tomorrow is an auspicious day

There will be a huge crowd gathered for the wedding in the next lane

The guests will be dolled up with jewellery.

We can easily rob a handful of gold!

We can exploit people until they have fear

We can con people using their own greed!

- Sir! - Sir!

Come in for a minute.

- Why sir? - Come in

No formalities on hospitality please.

Sit down.

Is a stabilizer mandatory for an LED?

Yes, else it would burst during voltage fluctuations.

- Hey dude... - Tell

Didn't you work with an LED brand before?

Yes!

- Is a stabilizer mandatory? - Not really.

- Wouldn't the TV burst, without it? - Which fool said so?

Someone is trying to con you, be careful.

- Where are you? - Nearby in the tea shop.

- Are the guys around? - Yes

Could you come over to my house. It's urgent.

Okay!

Now tell me.

Is a stabilizer really required for this TV?

- Arivu, what are you doing? - Mom, stay out of it, I'll handle it.

Vani, go inside

It seems I'm a hit man. I'll kill you.

Sit down

Now, is a stabilizer really required for this TV?

Not really.

So you have sold a useless product to so many people

Why?

Monthly targets, that's why!

While I run around to meet my targets, you snatch mine from right under my nose

So who do I snatch it from again?

Why are you running around for someone else's targets?

Arivu, what's this?

Mom, I'm not talking to him, I'm reflecting upon myself

He's just like me mom.

- Aren't you? - Yes sir.

- Do you live in a similar house? - Yes sir!

Then why are you stealing from here?

- Remove your shoe - Why?

Just do what I say.

Oh, your sock is torn near the thumb?

It's the pinky finger for me.

Why didn't you buy a new pair?

I exceeded my monthly budgets

So you couldn't buy socks? What else did you buy then?

A refrigerator and a TV on EMI.

There are people to sell exorbitant stuffs

But there's none to sell essential things.

What's this?

Energy drink.

Will your highness drink only this?

- It has 8 vitamins... - It has 12 chemicals!

You're just a leech

But I'm a blood sucking parasite!

I'm selling this poison.

Hey, what happened?

He is the one who sold the stablizer for my LED

How dare you con a fellow salesman?

Show your mettle elsewhere.

Why won't you?

You change jobs every month and babble nonsense

You have no clue what you sell, but you are desperate to sell it somehow

This guy over here, overcharges his client for theft insurance

And bragged that nobody cares to lodge a complaint in case of a theft.

Even if they do, it's a meagre 5%, so the rest are profits.

I laughed hearing you say that, the other day.

Hey...

A million people like us,...

having no idea about the product, rush off to sell it...

to poor schmucks

But what we don't realise is, we're doing it to ourselves.

If I earn 10 bucks, somebody cons me for 20.

He sold me this water purifier

Assured me there would be no problems

But there is a problem every damn week.

That table over there

They dumped it on me using popular marketing!

Would it be possible to see this in elite areas?

When I wondered how money was always insufficient in spite of earning so much

I realised I was getting conned left, right & centre!

True, we are bunkos!

How many of you can say that you have been truthful?

Answer me guys

We haven't been selling goods, we're selling lies

Traders have exceeded manufacturers now

Knowing that they can sell anything,...

they have started manufacturing shitty goods.

Enough of this sh*t!

I don't need this money.

Whether or not you understood, I did!

Mom, please give me my debit card

- Why? - Just give it to me.

I don't want to pay my sister's fees with this money

She won't be allowed to write her exams if we don't pay tomorrow

I'll arrange it somehow, but not this

What the hell are you doing Arivu?

What do you expect me to do?

You tell me that our family will be ruined if I don't work

But another guy is telling me that

I'm ruining other families because of my work!

I don't know what to do

Let me think

Hang on guys

Stop...

- Arivu, what happened? - Everything's gone!

I wanted to save my friend Bhagya,...

but people are saying I've killed him.

Kasi, who I wanted to kill...

I've saved him instead!

I've lost sight of my life.

I feel ashamed.

Arivu, why are you talking like this?

What you achieved here is no mean feat!

You can come out of this quicker than you think.

I won't run away from this

I'll do something big!

I've given you so much time already

There's no improvement.

My plan is not only to make New Fedora number one

But also sign a merger with Saffron.

Merger? Are you joking?

How's it possible?

My son will make it possible.

Hi Mr.Steve

Let me first brief you about Saffron's SWOT analysis;

You can then decide if you want to meet Jeyaram.

3 people from our slum have died today.

Babu & Syed were killed because they were part of a gang

But Bhagya died because he turned over a new leaf

Just as when I thought people here were in the wrong jobs

For worse people outside are doing their entire jobs wrongly

One tells me to work hard, the other tells me to work smart,

But nobody told me what good work is?

If we could make a small progress in stature now,...

...I thought at least the next generation would dream big.

Atleast we're better, we know we belong in a low class.

But the middle class people are doomed!

They are tricked by false hopes...

Disguised as one of the workers,...

I could understand the middle class' mentality.

They'll even buy poison, if it's on discount.

We need to identify the elites responsible for this

Though I'm born with silver spoon, but I hid my identity

The reason why I worked in some company for monthly salary...

Not only Safforn company

To get whole food industry

Our mistakes will affect only us

But an elite's mistake will ruin the entire society

If my plan works well,...

we can make them spend 100 bucks from their pockets every day.

Thugs are just those who kill people

We're thugs even if we affect others unintentionally.

Some countries have resources, some have foolish people

But India is a combination of both

Yes, it was me who said we can progress if we work hard

Correct, but the progress happens to someone else, not us!

Being a foreigner if you think you understand it better

Being within the country I understand it even better.

They're exploiting our poverty to make us run behind targets.

They don't even give us time to introspect.

Even I don't have the time

I'm poor too
