First let's get it

off the ground. Pappa?

Let's get on Ok

When he goes full throttle,

remove the stoppers under the wheel

Do everything

exactly like last time

Gesture when it's time

to remove the stopper

What? I said to gesture

when you're ready

-ol

-ol

Alright

Need a little push?

Go straight ahead! Yes!

Noufal! Look there! When

did they drag this up?

How come they didn't call us?

It's up! Venkidi's plane is

flying! Look, it's heading this way!

What's that sound?

Didn't you say you did something

last night? And now look!

Oh no!

Come on! Look! Sister!

It's flying! See?

Upon the clouds, to resounding

thunder, He shall appear...

...and all shall

leave their homes...

...to gather together to see Him

Teacher! Look at Venkidi!

Move closer to the shore

Now try to land it...

doesn't matter where

Not in the water!

Hey! Come on! Come on!

Come on out!

You flew! And we all saw it!

Everyone saw! Wow!

Move away, boy! Stop pushing! Move!

Sister, will we get to fly too?

You know how high it flies?

We flew, Mother!

Our plane flew! My son...

...I saw. We all did

I wasn't wrong about you

I...made the plane, Sir!

A plane that can fly! That's it!

I will not let you off anymore

I heard there was an accident when

you landed. Hope everything is fine

it was no accident.

It was intentional

Intentional?

Who would do that?

OK, Ok Will this do?

Tuck your tummy in

Smile! Smile!

A little to the left...

Sugunetta... (Brother Sugunan)

Kid! No!

Don't be so agitated.

We will find a way

She is floating ever

since she saw him fly

We will fix him, I promise

Are we ready to begin?

I am suffocating!

You've moved from position!

Make your smile more enigmatic

What? Do whatever you like

Alright, smile...don't move...

Stand still. Kid! Didn't I

tell you I would be right there?

Oh God!

Where is the other one? You think you

can just flex your muscles at anyone?

I won't spare either one of you!

Venkidi! No physical stuff! No!

You, you! My studio is not

the place for hooliganism

Listen! If you hurt me,

I can be nasty!

You are already nasty!

You don't have to specify

And you have nasty creatures

to hang out with, too

Was it you, or he who dropped

this at my house last night?

When you were on your bastardly mission,

you didn't realise you dropped this

You dog!

You thought I would die

out there, didn't you?

Once...at least once...

...she and I will fly together.

Only then will I die

Wait, wait! I am

back from flying...

...don't you want to see if

I got all that you wanted?

Hmm

For the princess to trim her

nails, the edge of a star...

...a piece of a cottony cloud...

...the murmer of the wind!

Wasn't there one

more? I missed that!

The baby rabbit on the moon!

Forgot, didn't you?

That I forgot!

We flew! We flew!

Our plane flew!

Right, Venkidi?

And now? Shouldn't we fly together?

Isn't that why I went

to all this trouble?

We should

We have to fly together

But how can you come? If

your father comes to know...

The tickets are ready for next week

No one is listening to me

lfl leave, I doubt

I can ever come back

What does your mother say?

She also says I have to go

I begged...l starved...

There's only one way out

Tomorrow...l will somehow slip out

We should fly together

For as long as we

want...and then...

...let us crashland somewhere...

...and die...together...

Yes...at least once...

...we should fly together

And then...

...let it be as it may

There was nothing

there to get tangled in

Do you think the tide

dragged something in?

Move it around and pull

Still stuck? I don't know what

it is. But it is stuck hard

lfl pull harder, it will

break I will go down and check

It's a car! Stuck down there

Pull!

Pull harder!

Move people aside! Move away

This is that very car!

It is bruised

It must hurt real bad!

Imagine that!

When you wear these

shades, no one will know

That's true! But...

...to say that Venkidi hit

you for no reason at all...

...it's difficult to believe

And didn't you say

anything at home?

If he says anything at home,

Janaki will come to know

And that looks bad for you, right?

I know you are all on his side!

I will get him someday. Watch!

My big brother is in the papers! And

his plane too! Give it here! Let me look!

There! On the second page

There is a picture and everything!

Where, where? Read it aloud!

Venketeshwaran, who has only

school-level education...

...struggled for a long

time to shape this...

...small plane that falls

into the ultra-light category

He modelled the engine...

...on the internationally

famous half-Volkswagen model...

...to power the propellor

The car engine used in his

plane was sourced locally

Including the propellor

that was crafted in wood...

...the mechanical

parts and body parts...

...and most of the items

used in the construction...

...was personally

manufactured by him

Volkswagen engine indeed! Give

me that! What's the matter?

Uncle and nephew steal a car

and then pose for the papers?

Give me my paper!

Your big brother will be in

the papers tomorrow as well

The Police will make sure

of that. Let this be with me

Who is that, Mother? Oh no!

You...! You...!

Move! Oh no! They

are hurting him...

Where did you steal

this from? Speak!

Speak up!

Don't beat him up, Sir, please!

He thought know one would know

I will make you speak! Move here!

My son won't steal! Please don't

beat him up! He won't steal?

So where did he get a motor

engine to play with his little fan?

Come on over here!

Get into the jeep!

Get him into the jeep!

And we somehow need to drag

this thing to the Station too!

It is evidence

This is no petty case, Father

It is car theft!

And he has confessed to it

He says he did this alone.

But I know, this was

not a single man's job

Tonight, I will make

him spill out the rest

Please do not hurt him

He is no thief or murderer

He made an error this one time

Stealing is wrong, we agree

But he did not sell it or anything

The plane he made with

it...you saw it too

What plane, Teacher?

If you steal, you're a thief.

That's the law as I know it

You're going by the rules? Then how

come you beat him black and blue?

How dare you! We

are not here to argue

Father, I...

This is about a young man's future

This needs to end here. What can we do

for that? That's what we need to know Yes

This young man is also affecting

the future of certain young women

You know that. If this involved

anyone else, I could have helped

But this is not like that.

Lawyer Govindan is very determined

Sir... we will repair

the car as good as new

And pay compensation too

But I am not the one who can decide

You go and meet the lawyer

If he agrees, I'll

take care of the rest

Or else get bail from

the Court in two days time

Now you can leave.

That's all I have to say

Alright then, Sir

Can I meet him for a minute?

I need to tell him something
