ENNA VILAI

00:02:59.271 --> 00:03:01.146 align:center
Don't wander too far in, okay?

00:03:02.230 --> 00:03:04.021 align:center
You say the exact same thing
every single day.

00:03:04.105 --> 00:03:06.271 align:center
- I'm not a child.
- Fine, fine...

00:03:12.313 --> 00:03:13.313 align:center
Hey!

00:03:23.271 --> 00:03:24.271 align:center
Where is she?

00:03:24.355 --> 00:03:25.313 align:center
Did she go inside?

00:03:25.396 --> 00:03:26.355 align:center
- Bring her back with you.
- Okay.

00:03:26.438 --> 00:03:27.646 align:center
- I'll take this and head out.
- I've got it.

00:03:27.730 --> 00:03:28.771 align:center
Hmm.

00:03:46.521 --> 00:03:48.813 align:center
What's with that look?
Go wash up and get moving.

00:03:48.896 --> 00:03:49.896 align:center
I know, Daddy!

00:03:50.146 --> 00:03:51.146 align:center
Huh?

00:03:52.896 --> 00:03:55.021 align:center
I pawned my own hip-chain
to pay your school fees,

00:03:55.105 --> 00:03:56.771 align:center
just to hear this
one word from you!

00:03:56.855 --> 00:03:58.063 align:center
I know, Dad!

00:03:58.605 --> 00:03:59.605 align:center
Daddy!

00:04:06.271 --> 00:04:07.896 align:center
What's your problem, Dad?

00:04:08.271 --> 00:04:10.105 align:center
She's hatched so many eggs,
even she is sick of it.

00:04:10.188 --> 00:04:12.521 align:center
If you'd just make me an omelet,
at least I'd get to eat!

00:04:12.605 --> 00:04:14.271 align:center
Listen here, son of Thavasi...

00:04:14.563 --> 00:04:17.730 align:center
if you get greedy for one egg,
you lose the whole coop.

00:04:17.855 --> 00:04:20.271 align:center
This egg will hatch
and become a hen.

00:04:20.355 --> 00:04:21.396 align:center
Then that hen lays eggs...

00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:22.480 align:center
and those eggs hatch into-

00:04:22.563 --> 00:04:23.730 align:center
- More hens!
- Dad!

00:04:23.896 --> 00:04:25.313 align:center
Please, Dad!
I don't want an omelet anymore!

00:04:25.396 --> 00:04:26.438 align:center
Just go catch the hen!

00:04:26.730 --> 00:04:28.188 align:center
That's my boy!

00:04:30.105 --> 00:04:31.521 align:center
I bet I'll catch you today!

00:04:35.896 --> 00:04:36.855 align:center
Have you flown off?

00:04:36.938 --> 00:04:39.021 align:center
Megala, grab a stick and
go catch it over there!

00:04:39.396 --> 00:04:41.313 align:center
Look at her. She wouldn't wake up
even if lightning struck.

00:04:44.605 --> 00:04:45.605 align:center
Thamizh!

00:04:46.021 --> 00:04:48.313 align:center
Wake up!
It's time for school.

00:04:48.396 --> 00:04:49.480 align:center
Give me your hand.

00:04:49.813 --> 00:04:50.855 align:center
Go brush your teeth.

00:04:51.938 --> 00:04:53.980 align:center
Hey! Do you think that's
milk powder to swallow?

00:04:54.063 --> 00:04:55.021 align:center
Get up, come on!

00:04:55.105 --> 00:04:56.563 align:center
Use the neem stick
to brush your teeth.

00:04:56.646 --> 00:04:57.646 align:center
Move it!

00:04:57.813 --> 00:04:59.271 align:center
- Go on.
- Stop it, Mom!

00:04:59.355 --> 00:05:01.355 align:center
- You're useless at this.
- Let me do it!

00:05:01.438 --> 00:05:02.605 align:center
- Over there!
- Where? Huh?

00:05:02.813 --> 00:05:04.855 align:center
That's what happens when you
send a pump attendant after a chicken.

00:05:04.938 --> 00:05:05.938 align:center
Move!

00:05:06.521 --> 00:05:09.980 align:center
Didn't I tell you
the hen wasn't there?

00:05:10.063 --> 00:05:11.230 align:center
You're completely useless.

00:05:11.355 --> 00:05:12.896 align:center
You and your stupid hen!

00:05:16.146 --> 00:05:17.146 align:center
Come and eat your feed now!

00:05:17.230 --> 00:05:19.563 align:center
Hey! Where do you think you're off to?
Come here!

00:05:20.230 --> 00:05:21.313 align:center
Is laying eggs enough?

00:05:21.396 --> 00:05:22.563 align:center
Who's going to hatch them?

00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:39.063 align:center
I'm only sparing you because
you're hatching those eggs.

00:05:39.146 --> 00:05:40.396 align:center
If you wander off one more time...

00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:41.688 align:center
I'll turn you into curry!

00:05:41.771 --> 00:05:42.730 align:center
Get in there! Go on!

00:05:42.813 --> 00:05:43.813 align:center
Get in!

00:05:49.605 --> 00:05:51.688 align:center
I'm only sparing you
for my Murugan's sake.

00:05:52.521 --> 00:05:53.480 align:center
Mom!

00:05:53.563 --> 00:05:54.521 align:center
The auto is here!
Hurry up!

00:05:54.605 --> 00:05:56.188 align:center
- Why are you making a fuss now?
- Mom, come on!

00:05:56.271 --> 00:05:58.063 align:center
Hey Palamma,
what's taking you so long?

00:05:58.146 --> 00:05:59.313 align:center
I'm coming!
Just wait a second!

00:06:01.230 --> 00:06:02.605 align:center
- Move it, hurry up!
- Get lost!

00:06:02.730 --> 00:06:04.188 align:center
- Did you get your books?
- Yeah.

00:06:04.271 --> 00:06:05.230 align:center
- What about you?
- Got 'em.

00:06:05.313 --> 00:06:07.271 align:center
Go! Keep an eye on your sister!
The auto is waiting!

00:06:07.355 --> 00:06:08.355 align:center
- Dad?
- Okay!

00:06:08.563 --> 00:06:10.480 align:center
- Bye, Dad!
- Bye! Have a good day!

00:06:12.105 --> 00:06:13.605 align:center
- I'm heading out, okay?
- See you!

00:06:14.188 --> 00:06:15.646 align:center
What are you doing?

00:06:15.896 --> 00:06:16.896 align:center
You do this every single day!

00:06:16.980 --> 00:06:18.355 align:center
Drop it, Sis.
I'm here now, right?

00:06:18.438 --> 00:06:19.980 align:center
Stop yelling.
Hold this bag.

00:06:20.063 --> 00:06:21.271 align:center
- Get moving!
- I am moving!

00:06:21.355 --> 00:06:23.188 align:center
- Son, hold your sister tightly!
- Hmm.

00:06:33.105 --> 00:06:35.438 align:center
Hey kiddo, see that
thing way out there?

00:06:35.646 --> 00:06:37.313 align:center
That's a navy ship.

00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:39.021 align:center
Where, Brother?
I can't see it.

00:06:39.313 --> 00:06:40.563 align:center
Look!
Right over there.

00:06:40.646 --> 00:06:42.230 align:center
Where does the sea end?

00:06:42.313 --> 00:06:43.605 align:center
Just past that is Sri Lanka.

00:06:43.688 --> 00:06:45.396 align:center
If we sail past that ship...

00:06:45.605 --> 00:06:46.813 align:center
we will get shot!

00:06:46.980 --> 00:06:47.938 align:center
But you know what?

00:06:48.021 --> 00:06:49.980 align:center
Our dad goes way past it.

00:06:52.230 --> 00:06:53.396 align:center
Sister!
The bus is here!

00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:54.980 align:center
- I'll go get the kids.
- The kids are over there!

00:06:55.063 --> 00:06:56.188 align:center
Hey, Bharathi!

00:06:57.146 --> 00:06:58.313 align:center
Don't get your shoes wet!

00:06:58.396 --> 00:06:59.813 align:center
The van is here.
Hurry up!

00:07:01.271 --> 00:07:02.646 align:center
Both of you, get moving!

00:07:02.938 --> 00:07:03.938 align:center

Running late again?

00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:10.230 align:center
Will the school van
keep waiting for you?

00:07:10.313 --> 00:07:11.313 align:center
- Alright, sir!
- Go, go!

00:07:12.646 --> 00:07:14.230 align:center

Hey Anbu!
Just watch!

00:12:52.063 --> 00:12:54.563 align:center
Thavasi is going to
catch a massive shark!

00:12:54.646 --> 00:12:55.771 align:center
Oh, sure he will!

00:12:55.855 --> 00:12:57.480 align:center
Next, he'll dive in Agni Theertham!

00:13:01.188 --> 00:13:02.188 align:center
Like I always say...

00:13:02.271 --> 00:13:03.563 align:center
whether it's squid or cash...

00:13:03.646 --> 00:13:05.063 align:center
it always ends up
in Thavasi's hands!

00:13:05.146 --> 00:13:08.355 align:center
After all this time,
I finally got something.

00:13:09.105 --> 00:13:10.771 align:center
And you guys just
can't stand it, huh?

00:13:10.855 --> 00:13:12.896 align:center
Which bank are you hiding
all this cash in anyway?

00:13:12.980 --> 00:13:14.146 align:center
Hey Thavasi!

00:13:14.230 --> 00:13:15.521 align:center
Did you catch anything?

00:13:15.771 --> 00:13:16.980 align:center
It's about time, right?

00:13:17.063 --> 00:13:18.355 align:center
Hey, Thavasi!

00:13:19.021 --> 00:13:20.938 align:center
Nothing's biting.
Should we head back?

00:13:21.605 --> 00:13:23.063 align:center
Have a little patience.

00:13:23.605 --> 00:13:24.813 align:center
Patience? I'm losing my mind!

00:13:29.188 --> 00:13:30.771 align:center
What a total waste of fuel.
Get up here!

00:13:30.855 --> 00:13:32.230 align:center
- Pull him up!
- Hey, hold it steady!

00:13:32.313 --> 00:13:34.605 align:center
- Come on, hold it tight!
- Wait, I'm coming!

00:13:34.688 --> 00:13:35.646 align:center
Watch out!

00:13:35.730 --> 00:13:36.938 align:center
Hey, grab that too.

00:13:37.521 --> 00:13:39.063 align:center
Brother, let's go!

00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:42.771 align:center
This won't even cover our wages.
Heave it up!

00:13:43.105 --> 00:13:45.355 align:center
So what? You want us
to just rot out here?

00:13:45.646 --> 00:13:47.730 align:center
Let's check a bit
further that way.

00:13:48.188 --> 00:13:49.771 align:center
Hey!
Fire up the engine.

00:13:50.146 --> 00:13:51.105 align:center
Thavasi!

00:13:51.188 --> 00:13:53.730 align:center
What are you going to do
with all that hoarded cash?

00:13:53.813 --> 00:13:55.313 align:center
This isn't ambition, it's greed.

00:13:55.396 --> 00:13:56.938 align:center
Hey! If I didn't
have that greed...

00:13:57.021 --> 00:13:59.730 align:center
Megala and I would've been
swept away when the tsunami

00:13:59.813 --> 00:14:01.813 align:center
took our parents from us.

00:14:01.896 --> 00:14:03.605 align:center
Don't I have to get her married?

00:14:03.938 --> 00:14:04.938 align:center
Hey Thavasi!

00:14:05.188 --> 00:14:07.063 align:center
Listen! I'll marry Megala...

00:14:07.146 --> 00:14:08.813 align:center
You won't have to
spend a single rupee.

00:14:08.896 --> 00:14:10.605 align:center
We'll have a grand wedding!
What say?

00:14:10.688 --> 00:14:12.855 align:center
You worthless drunk!
Roaming around like a stray dog!

00:14:12.980 --> 00:14:14.355 align:center
How dare you ask me that?!

00:14:14.438 --> 00:14:16.605 align:center
First, find out what
your sister is up to!

00:14:16.688 --> 00:14:17.646 align:center
You crazy fool!

00:14:17.730 --> 00:14:19.063 align:center
While you're chasing money here...

00:14:19.146 --> 00:14:20.688 align:center
do you know who she's
been with, this whole time?

00:14:20.771 --> 00:14:23.271 align:center
What nonsense are you
saying, you scoundrel?!

00:14:25.396 --> 00:14:26.355 align:center
How dare you?

00:14:26.438 --> 00:14:27.480 align:center
How dare you!

00:14:27.605 --> 00:14:29.188 align:center
Hey!
Hey!

00:14:29.271 --> 00:14:31.605 align:center
Your sister is hanging out
with that tender coconut guy!

00:14:31.688 --> 00:14:32.813 align:center
Hey!
Let me go!

00:14:33.021 --> 00:14:34.563 align:center
I'll kill you right here!

00:14:37.188 --> 00:14:40.063 align:center
- You scumbag! How dare you?
- Leave him!

00:14:42.230 --> 00:14:43.646 align:center
I'm going to kill you.

00:14:45.271 --> 00:14:47.271 align:center
Leave me.
I won't spare him today.

00:14:48.105 --> 00:14:49.730 align:center
How dare you!

00:14:53.896 --> 00:14:55.688 align:center
- I'll chop off your filthy tongue!
- Come, Thavasi!

00:14:55.771 --> 00:14:58.021 align:center
What nonsense is this?
Hey, help him up!

00:14:58.438 --> 00:14:59.688 align:center
Hey, climb up!

00:15:03.521 --> 00:15:04.563 align:center
Give me your hand!

00:15:07.396 --> 00:15:08.230 align:center
Lift him up!

00:15:08.313 --> 00:15:09.813 align:center
If you ever talk
about Megala again...

00:15:09.896 --> 00:15:10.896 align:center
I swear I'll kill you!

00:15:15.271 --> 00:15:17.521 align:center
He knows who she
should be married to.

00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:23.605 align:center
- Hello!
- Hello, come on in!

00:15:24.021 --> 00:15:26.438 align:center
- How are you?
- I am good!

00:15:26.521 --> 00:15:27.563 align:center
Sit, sit!

00:15:28.105 --> 00:15:29.188 align:center
Mom, ask them to sit!

00:15:30.271 --> 00:15:31.521 align:center
- Sit, sit!
- I will bring tea.

00:15:31.605 --> 00:15:33.063 align:center
- I will come too.
- Okay, come!

00:15:33.646 --> 00:15:35.480 align:center
I got married pretty late in life.

00:15:35.563 --> 00:15:38.188 align:center
And I was worried the same thing
would happen to my sister.

00:15:38.855 --> 00:15:39.771 align:center
Thavasi!

00:15:39.855 --> 00:15:40.896 align:center
Don't think like that!

00:15:41.396 --> 00:15:42.896 align:center
Megala is like a daughter to us.

00:17:01.521 --> 00:17:02.605 align:center
Sir, one minute!

00:17:02.688 --> 00:17:04.480 align:center
Hey!
What's up, Thavasi?

00:17:04.563 --> 00:17:05.771 align:center
It's an important matter!

00:17:09.938 --> 00:17:11.146 align:center
What's that?

00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:17.480 align:center
Look at this!

00:17:20.188 --> 00:17:21.605 align:center
I found it out at sea!

00:17:22.396 --> 00:17:23.396 align:center
Out at sea?

00:17:24.021 --> 00:17:25.021 align:center
Err...

00:17:25.396 --> 00:17:27.646 align:center
Have you... have you shown
this to anyone else?

00:17:27.730 --> 00:17:30.105 align:center
No sir, you're the very first
person I've shown it to.

00:17:30.355 --> 00:17:31.313 align:center
- I think...
- Yeah?

00:17:31.396 --> 00:17:34.063 align:center
It's just an old prop from a
stage play someone threw away.

00:17:34.355 --> 00:17:36.396 align:center
It totally looks like
imitation gold, doesn't it?

00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:38.771 align:center
I thought it might
be expensive, sir.

00:17:38.855 --> 00:17:40.563 align:center
- Nah, nothing like that.
- Oh, okay.

00:17:40.896 --> 00:17:42.105 align:center
If something real went missing,

00:17:42.188 --> 00:17:43.563 align:center
someone would have filed
a police report.

00:17:43.646 --> 00:17:44.855 align:center
And I'd definitely know
about it, right?

00:17:44.938 --> 00:17:47.688 align:center
Still, you worked hard
to dive for it.

00:17:48.230 --> 00:17:49.230 align:center
Go on!

00:17:49.813 --> 00:17:51.188 align:center
Go buy me a tender coconut.

00:17:51.271 --> 00:17:52.980 align:center
- Grab one for yourself too.
- Okay, sir!

00:17:53.230 --> 00:17:54.230 align:center
Okay, sir!

00:18:54.646 --> 00:18:56.021 align:center
- Here you go, sir!
- Hey, thanks!

00:18:57.188 --> 00:18:58.396 align:center
See? Didn't I tell you?

00:18:58.771 --> 00:18:59.771 align:center
It's just fake gold.

00:19:00.605 --> 00:19:02.646 align:center
But don't go talking
about this to anyone, okay?

00:19:02.730 --> 00:19:03.938 align:center
Just keep it at your house.

00:19:04.730 --> 00:19:06.896 align:center
Sir, why don't you just keep
it at the police station?

00:19:07.063 --> 00:19:08.063 align:center
Hey!

00:19:08.188 --> 00:19:11.980 align:center
We can't just keep random
junk lying around the station!

00:19:12.396 --> 00:19:13.480 align:center
According to the rules,

00:19:13.563 --> 00:19:17.605 align:center
we can only log an item
if an official complaint is filed.

00:19:18.271 --> 00:19:19.605 align:center
I won't get into any
trouble, will I?

00:19:19.688 --> 00:19:21.813 align:center
Not at all! Didn't I say
I've got your back?

00:19:21.896 --> 00:19:22.980 align:center
- Thank you, sir!
- Now, get going.

00:19:26.771 --> 00:19:28.063 align:center
- See you later, sir.
- Yeah.

00:19:28.146 --> 00:19:29.438 align:center
- Be careful!
- Okay, sir!

00:19:45.730 --> 00:19:46.730 align:center
Where are you?

00:19:47.230 --> 00:19:49.605 align:center
Coral necklaces!
Ebony wood beads!

00:19:50.063 --> 00:19:51.271 align:center
Show me that one.

00:19:52.105 --> 00:19:53.646 align:center
This one brings good luck, sir!

00:19:53.730 --> 00:19:55.980 align:center
Don't worry about the price,
just take it!

00:19:56.230 --> 00:19:57.646 align:center
Necklaces for sale!
Get your necklaces here!

00:19:57.730 --> 00:19:59.146 align:center
Genuine ebony wood!

00:19:59.396 --> 00:20:00.396 align:center
Kothandam!

00:20:01.105 --> 00:20:02.146 align:center
Varadarajan Sir!

00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:04.355 align:center
- What's the rush, sir?
- Hey, wait.

00:20:04.646 --> 00:20:06.313 align:center
Get on the bike, fast!

00:20:06.438 --> 00:20:08.813 align:center
We're going to Paramakudi,
to Uppiliappan's jewellery shop.

00:20:08.896 --> 00:20:10.396 align:center
Uppiliappan's?
What for?

00:20:10.646 --> 00:20:12.521 align:center
Will Your Majesty get on
only if I say that?

00:20:12.646 --> 00:20:14.396 align:center
This is peak business hours!

00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:16.355 align:center
And you want me to
leave for Uppiliappan now?

00:20:16.896 --> 00:20:18.396 align:center
If I put my kickstand down…

00:20:19.355 --> 00:20:22.063 align:center
You'll never be able
to do business here again!

00:20:22.146 --> 00:20:23.105 align:center
How's that?

00:20:23.188 --> 00:20:25.313 align:center
Look at you, suddenly so devoted
to your work!

00:20:25.396 --> 00:20:26.355 align:center
Move aside!

00:20:26.438 --> 00:20:27.730 align:center
Seems like luck just hit me!

00:20:28.021 --> 00:20:29.146 align:center
Shop's closed for the day!

00:20:30.813 --> 00:20:32.021 align:center
Alright, sir!

00:20:32.105 --> 00:20:32.938 align:center
Let's roll!

00:20:33.021 --> 00:20:34.563 align:center
You can put your kickstand down
once we hit Paramakudi.

00:20:59.230 --> 00:21:00.771 align:center
Can't even let me
sleep in peace.

00:21:09.021 --> 00:21:10.355 align:center
Trying to mess with me, huh?

00:21:15.396 --> 00:21:18.021 align:center
You just love looking for trouble.
Get over here!

00:21:22.021 --> 00:21:23.021 align:center
Oh no!

00:21:28.521 --> 00:21:29.646 align:center
Oh Lord Murugan!

00:21:56.313 --> 00:21:58.063 align:center
Wait, wasn't there a stone here?

00:22:14.938 --> 00:22:16.771 align:center
Hey!
Did you eat?

00:22:17.396 --> 00:22:18.563 align:center
Shall I make some tea?

00:22:30.146 --> 00:22:31.146 align:center
What's this?

00:22:32.646 --> 00:22:34.521 align:center
- Where did you get it?
- I found it out at sea.

00:22:35.563 --> 00:22:36.605 align:center
Why did you bring it home?

00:22:36.938 --> 00:22:38.896 align:center
Some theatre group threw it out,
apparently.

00:22:39.313 --> 00:22:40.313 align:center
It's just fake gold.

00:22:40.605 --> 00:22:42.021 align:center
- What? Fake?
- Yeah.

00:22:43.271 --> 00:22:44.313 align:center
Hold on.

00:22:48.688 --> 00:22:49.646 align:center
Hey!

00:22:49.730 --> 00:22:52.188 align:center
I showed it to Officer Varadarajan
before bringing it here.

00:22:52.313 --> 00:22:54.021 align:center
He's the one who said it's fake.

00:22:54.521 --> 00:22:56.480 align:center
Once you decide, there's
no turning back, huh?

00:23:03.313 --> 00:23:04.646 align:center
This is gold!
Real, pure gold!

00:23:04.730 --> 00:23:06.563 align:center
Do you think I can't tell
real gold from fake?

00:23:06.646 --> 00:23:08.230 align:center
Go hand it over to the station
right now!

00:23:10.313 --> 00:23:11.313 align:center
The thing is...

00:23:11.646 --> 00:23:14.355 align:center
Every single stone was in place
when I pulled it from the sea.

00:23:14.855 --> 00:23:17.521 align:center
It was whole when
I showed it to the officer too.

00:23:18.146 --> 00:23:20.480 align:center
But now, one stone is missing!

00:23:20.646 --> 00:23:21.980 align:center
I have no idea where it went.

00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:23.563 align:center
Wait, what are you saying?

00:23:24.188 --> 00:23:25.855 align:center
Maybe when the
hen messed around...

00:23:25.938 --> 00:23:27.396 align:center
it must have broken off.

00:23:28.480 --> 00:23:30.480 align:center
Is it an egg to just break
when it hits the floor?

00:23:37.396 --> 00:23:38.688 align:center
How long will you keep checking?

00:23:38.771 --> 00:23:40.521 align:center
Do you think I'm selling veggies
to wrap this up in a second?

00:23:40.605 --> 00:23:42.105 align:center
Hold on! I need to inspect it right.

00:23:45.688 --> 00:23:46.688 align:center
Hmm?

00:23:47.063 --> 00:23:48.188 align:center
I can give you two for this.

00:23:49.438 --> 00:23:50.438 align:center
Two? You mean two lakhs?

00:23:50.646 --> 00:23:51.855 align:center
- Yes!
- What?!

00:23:54.563 --> 00:23:56.271 align:center
- Wait up!
- Where is he running off to?

00:23:56.730 --> 00:23:57.980 align:center
Did I offer too much?

00:24:01.896 --> 00:24:03.230 align:center
He's offering two lakhs!

00:24:03.730 --> 00:24:05.021 align:center
Tell him I asked for five lakhs!

00:24:05.105 --> 00:24:06.021 align:center
Huh?

00:24:15.021 --> 00:24:16.146 align:center
- Hello sir!
- Hello!

00:24:18.605 --> 00:24:20.396 align:center
- What's the matter?
- I need to see the SI.

00:24:20.480 --> 00:24:22.021 align:center
- Go on inside.
- We sent them last time, sir

00:24:22.105 --> 00:24:23.396 align:center
We are short-staffed this time!

00:24:24.271 --> 00:24:25.771 align:center
- Hello!
- I need to see the SI.

00:24:25.855 --> 00:24:27.313 align:center
- The SI isn't in.
- There's no one here, sir!

00:24:27.396 --> 00:24:29.355 align:center
Everyone is on temple duty today!

00:24:29.646 --> 00:24:30.938 align:center
Please try to understand, sir.

00:24:31.688 --> 00:24:32.771 align:center
Then who am I supposed to see?

00:24:32.855 --> 00:24:34.480 align:center
- Talk to the station writer.
- You keep repeating yourself!

00:24:34.563 --> 00:24:35.771 align:center
Don't you get it?

00:24:36.813 --> 00:24:37.938 align:center
- Hello.
- Sir...

00:24:38.021 --> 00:24:41.355 align:center
Sir, the central minister is
visiting the temple with his family.

00:24:41.438 --> 00:24:42.313 align:center
Sir...

00:24:42.396 --> 00:24:43.438 align:center
Yes, sir!

00:24:44.021 --> 00:24:45.563 align:center
He says we can settle
for five lakhs.

00:24:46.313 --> 00:24:47.146 align:center
Here!

00:24:47.230 --> 00:24:49.813 align:center
Then go to whoever
offered you five lakhs.

00:24:49.896 --> 00:24:50.896 align:center
Please leave!

00:24:51.313 --> 00:24:54.521 align:center
Look, he already checked around
on his way here.

00:24:54.605 --> 00:24:56.146 align:center
Why else would we come to you?

00:24:56.230 --> 00:24:57.521 align:center
Just give me your final offer!

00:24:59.230 --> 00:25:00.480 align:center
That's all it's worth!

00:25:00.563 --> 00:25:02.063 align:center
- You just don't get it.
- Hey, stop!

00:25:02.438 --> 00:25:03.938 align:center
Fine, three lakhs
is my final offer!

00:25:05.396 --> 00:25:06.855 align:center
- Did you say three?
- Yes!

00:25:08.855 --> 00:25:10.230 align:center
Looks like he's just a middleman!

00:25:10.313 --> 00:25:11.438 align:center
He's offering three lakhs!

00:25:11.938 --> 00:25:13.021 align:center
Sit down!

00:25:13.188 --> 00:25:14.271 align:center
Tell me, what's the matter?

00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:19.855 align:center
I found this out at sea!

00:25:19.938 --> 00:25:20.938 align:center
Hmm...

00:25:35.230 --> 00:25:36.563 align:center
Tell me what happened, in detail.

00:25:39.105 --> 00:25:40.355 align:center
One... Two...

00:25:41.146 --> 00:25:42.146 align:center
Thanks!

00:25:42.271 --> 00:25:43.271 align:center
Go!

00:25:49.646 --> 00:25:50.646 align:center
Three lakhs!

00:25:54.146 --> 00:25:55.146 align:center
Hey, Sathish!

00:25:55.480 --> 00:25:57.646 align:center
Ask when that Turkish
design is arriving.

00:25:57.730 --> 00:25:58.980 align:center
- Fine, sir.
- Come on, let's go!

00:25:59.063 --> 00:26:00.063 align:center
Huh?

00:26:03.605 --> 00:26:04.521 align:center
Call him!

00:26:04.605 --> 00:26:05.688 align:center
Put him on speaker!

00:26:05.771 --> 00:26:07.438 align:center
Don't worry, I've got your back.

00:26:21.688 --> 00:26:24.021 align:center
- Hello?
- Hello sir! Varadarajan sir!

00:26:24.855 --> 00:26:25.938 align:center
Where are you right now?

00:26:26.021 --> 00:26:27.480 align:center
I'm out investigating a case.

00:26:27.563 --> 00:26:28.521 align:center
What's the matter?

00:26:28.605 --> 00:26:32.230 align:center
There's a guy named Thavasi
sitting here at the station.

00:26:32.313 --> 00:26:33.730 align:center
He's talking about some medallion--

00:26:33.813 --> 00:26:34.938 align:center
Some stone too.

00:26:35.021 --> 00:26:36.063 align:center
Oh...

00:26:36.355 --> 00:26:37.646 align:center
Did he say anything else?

00:26:38.313 --> 00:26:40.646 align:center
Why don't you head back
to the station first, sir?

00:26:40.855 --> 00:26:42.271 align:center
We can handle it together then.

00:26:42.396 --> 00:26:43.396 align:center
Alright?

00:26:43.938 --> 00:26:45.313 align:center
I'm on my way right now!

00:26:46.188 --> 00:26:47.688 align:center
- Just wait there!
- Okay.

00:26:49.230 --> 00:26:50.396 align:center
- Hey!
- Yeah?

00:26:50.771 --> 00:26:51.771 align:center
Get off.

00:26:52.146 --> 00:26:53.146 align:center
I said, get off the bike!

00:26:55.480 --> 00:26:56.646 align:center
I need to get to the station.

00:26:56.730 --> 00:26:57.896 align:center
- Something came up.
- Okay.

00:26:58.146 --> 00:26:59.146 align:center
You...

00:26:59.605 --> 00:27:00.563 align:center
Just go home!

00:27:00.646 --> 00:27:01.688 align:center
Wait, what, sir?

00:27:01.855 --> 00:27:02.855 align:center
Huh?

00:27:11.980 --> 00:27:13.230 align:center
What's this, Varadarajan sir?

00:27:13.438 --> 00:27:14.980 align:center
We've been sharing
scraps for years!

00:27:15.396 --> 00:27:18.063 align:center
But when there's a feast,
you leave us out?

00:27:18.396 --> 00:27:19.396 align:center
Look, the thing is...

00:27:19.605 --> 00:27:20.605 align:center
I was just checking...

00:27:20.980 --> 00:27:23.563 align:center
if it was a real feast
or just leftovers, Hakim.

00:27:24.896 --> 00:27:25.896 align:center
It's indeed a feast!

00:27:30.146 --> 00:27:31.355 align:center
That medallion...

00:27:32.188 --> 00:27:33.813 align:center
- It's worth crores!
- Really?

00:27:34.021 --> 00:27:35.063 align:center
Listen!

00:27:36.188 --> 00:27:39.021 align:center
Those gems on it?
Each one is worth lakhs!

00:27:39.646 --> 00:27:40.646 align:center
Sir!

00:27:40.896 --> 00:27:42.396 align:center
How much did you get already?

00:27:43.230 --> 00:27:44.230 align:center
Hmm...

00:27:44.855 --> 00:27:46.021 align:center
Say it, sir!

00:27:46.480 --> 00:27:47.480 align:center
Hmm...

00:28:02.938 --> 00:28:04.646 align:center
I've got three lakhs so far.

00:28:05.105 --> 00:28:06.980 align:center
And there's plenty more to come!

00:28:08.771 --> 00:28:10.230 align:center
If we stick together...

00:28:10.313 --> 00:28:11.521 align:center
we can enjoy the whole feast!

00:28:11.605 --> 00:28:12.730 align:center
What do you say?

00:28:13.980 --> 00:28:14.980 align:center
Alright, where is he now?

00:28:15.605 --> 00:28:16.730 align:center
He's inside.

00:28:16.980 --> 00:28:18.646 align:center
I talked him down
and made him wait, sir.

00:28:19.021 --> 00:28:20.021 align:center
Hmm...

00:28:20.730 --> 00:28:23.105 align:center
First, we need to
get him on our side.

00:28:23.230 --> 00:28:24.146 align:center
Sir!

00:28:24.230 --> 00:28:25.646 align:center
Will he actually agree to this?

00:28:26.063 --> 00:28:28.313 align:center
He's a complete pushover.
An absolute fool.

00:28:28.813 --> 00:28:30.271 align:center
Who? Him?

00:28:30.438 --> 00:28:32.438 align:center
Why did you give
the medallion back to him, sir?

00:28:32.521 --> 00:28:34.188 align:center
- That was a mistake!
- Hmm!

00:28:34.563 --> 00:28:37.021 align:center
Am I an idiot to keep it on me?

00:28:37.730 --> 00:28:39.605 align:center
It's safer to let him hold it.

00:28:39.688 --> 00:28:41.188 align:center
He'll hand it over whenever I ask.

00:28:43.730 --> 00:28:44.730 align:center
Alright!

00:28:45.105 --> 00:28:46.396 align:center
I'll go handle him.

00:28:47.063 --> 00:28:48.063 align:center
Has the SI arrived yet?

00:28:48.688 --> 00:28:49.521 align:center
- Sir!
- Sit down!

00:28:49.605 --> 00:28:51.021 align:center
- Okay!
- You go now.

00:28:56.271 --> 00:28:58.563 align:center
- What's the matter, Thavasi?
- Sir...

00:28:59.355 --> 00:29:00.396 align:center
Why did you come all this way?

00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:03.396 align:center
Sir, about that medallion
I found out at sea...

00:29:03.605 --> 00:29:05.105 align:center
one of the gems on it
is missing, sir.

00:29:05.188 --> 00:29:06.438 align:center
Hey, what are you saying?

00:29:07.188 --> 00:29:09.605 align:center
I already told you it's a fake,
didn't I?

00:29:09.730 --> 00:29:11.438 align:center
And you came all the way
just for that?

00:29:11.646 --> 00:29:14.438 align:center
No, sir! She rubbed it
and checked it herself.

00:29:14.771 --> 00:29:15.771 align:center
Huh?

00:29:16.271 --> 00:29:17.563 align:center
Who did you say checked it?

00:29:18.355 --> 00:29:19.396 align:center
Palamma!

00:29:24.355 --> 00:29:25.646 align:center
You told Palamma about this?

00:29:31.230 --> 00:29:33.021 align:center
Why on earth did you tell her?!

00:29:35.938 --> 00:29:37.313 align:center
Sir, the SI's jeep is here!

00:29:37.396 --> 00:29:38.355 align:center
Hmm?

00:29:38.438 --> 00:29:39.938 align:center
Sir, he might say something!

00:29:41.313 --> 00:29:42.313 align:center
Hey!

00:29:42.438 --> 00:29:44.146 align:center
How dare you steal
temple jewellery?!

00:29:44.230 --> 00:29:45.605 align:center
You thieving rascal!

00:29:45.855 --> 00:29:46.938 align:center
Oh my god!

00:29:47.021 --> 00:29:48.063 align:center
Temple jewellery?!

00:29:48.230 --> 00:29:50.355 align:center
Where is the rest of the hoard?!

00:29:50.646 --> 00:29:52.813 align:center
- Talk, you thieving rascal!
- Sir, it hurts!

00:29:53.230 --> 00:29:54.771 align:center
Why would I steal, sir?

00:29:54.855 --> 00:29:56.438 align:center
You think you
can fool the police?

00:29:56.521 --> 00:29:58.271 align:center
- Sir! Sir!
- Speak up!

00:29:58.605 --> 00:30:00.230 align:center
- Spill it!
- Sir!

00:30:00.313 --> 00:30:01.396 align:center
You filthy thief!

00:30:01.480 --> 00:30:04.188 align:center
I didn't steal it!
I gave it to you!

00:30:04.688 --> 00:30:06.230 align:center
Beat him, sir!

00:30:06.521 --> 00:30:07.521 align:center
Hey, Varadarajan!

00:30:07.605 --> 00:30:09.063 align:center
What are you doing?
Who is this guy?

00:30:09.146 --> 00:30:10.688 align:center
Sir, I didn't steal anything!

00:30:10.771 --> 00:30:11.730 align:center
Why are you beating him?

00:30:11.813 --> 00:30:13.521 align:center
- It's an important matter, sir!
- What is it?

00:30:13.605 --> 00:30:15.063 align:center
- Come sir, I'll explain.
- I'm not a thief, sir!

00:30:15.146 --> 00:30:16.396 align:center
Not out here, sir!
Come with me.

00:30:16.480 --> 00:30:18.271 align:center
Step into your office, sir!
Come.

00:30:18.688 --> 00:30:19.980 align:center
This is ridiculous!

00:30:20.063 --> 00:30:21.980 align:center
- Sir, what did I do wrong?
- Sir, please come!

00:30:23.230 --> 00:30:24.230 align:center
Shut him up!

00:30:24.313 --> 00:30:25.938 align:center
- Didn't I trust you like God?
- Hey!

00:30:26.105 --> 00:30:27.355 align:center
Sir! Sir!

00:30:27.438 --> 00:30:28.688 align:center
Keep quiet or we'll
cut your tongue!

00:30:28.771 --> 00:30:30.063 align:center
Get inside now, scoundrel!

00:30:30.146 --> 00:30:31.188 align:center
Sir!

00:30:31.313 --> 00:30:35.563 align:center
Sir, we recovered a stolen temple
medallion from that guy.

00:30:35.896 --> 00:30:38.605 align:center
We took a massive risk
just to catch him, sir!

00:30:39.188 --> 00:30:40.896 align:center
Sir, let me go!
It hurts, sir!

00:30:41.230 --> 00:30:43.396 align:center
I haven't done
anything wrong, sir!

00:30:43.980 --> 00:30:44.980 align:center
Sir!

00:30:45.813 --> 00:30:47.646 align:center
Oh God!
Please stop!

00:30:48.646 --> 00:30:50.521 align:center
How dare you steal
temple jewellery?!

00:30:53.271 --> 00:30:54.938 align:center
- You dared to steal temple gold?!
- Sir, I'm not a thief!

00:30:55.021 --> 00:30:57.188 align:center
- Thieving dog! Shut up!
- I'm innocent, sir!

00:30:57.271 --> 00:30:58.688 align:center
We'll teach you a lesson now!

00:30:58.771 --> 00:31:00.271 align:center
Sir, please let me go!

00:31:03.605 --> 00:31:04.688 align:center
Oh no!

00:31:04.771 --> 00:31:06.438 align:center
Stop it!
You're going to kill him!

00:31:08.396 --> 00:31:09.980 align:center
Leave him be.
We'll deal with him later.

00:31:23.563 --> 00:31:25.355 align:center
I know this guy very well.

00:31:25.730 --> 00:31:26.896 align:center
He's from my area.

00:31:27.188 --> 00:31:28.021 align:center
He used to be a decent guy.

00:31:28.105 --> 00:31:30.813 align:center
But lately, he's been acting
highly suspicious.

00:31:31.730 --> 00:31:32.688 align:center
Sir!

00:31:32.771 --> 00:31:34.480 align:center
I had my doubts...

00:31:34.646 --> 00:31:37.646 align:center
so I bought him some drinks
and got him talking.

00:31:38.563 --> 00:31:41.105 align:center
He got drunk and blurted out
everything about the medallion.

00:31:41.855 --> 00:31:42.896 align:center
So I baited him, sir...

00:31:43.521 --> 00:31:45.271 align:center
"Give me one gem from it,

00:31:45.938 --> 00:31:48.438 align:center
I'll sell it and
get you plenty of money."

00:31:48.938 --> 00:31:50.230 align:center
The idiot fell for it...

00:31:50.438 --> 00:31:52.855 align:center
and walked right into the station
holding the medallion!

00:31:53.438 --> 00:31:56.063 align:center
And that's when I trapped him
like a sitting duck!

00:31:58.855 --> 00:32:00.521 align:center
Alright, now bring me
that medallion.

00:32:00.605 --> 00:32:01.605 align:center
Huh?

00:32:02.355 --> 00:32:03.355 align:center
Okay!

00:32:03.730 --> 00:32:04.730 align:center
Hmm!

00:32:07.605 --> 00:32:08.605 align:center
Go get the medallion.

00:32:08.771 --> 00:32:09.813 align:center
It's in the drawer, sir!

00:32:11.355 --> 00:32:13.688 align:center
I just spun a massive lie
on the spot!

00:32:13.771 --> 00:32:14.605 align:center
Got it, sir.

00:32:14.688 --> 00:32:17.271 align:center
Now we just need to silence
Uppili and Kothandam.

00:32:17.355 --> 00:32:18.355 align:center
- Hmm...
- Sir!

00:32:18.855 --> 00:32:21.896 align:center
I feel like we're getting tangled
in something dangerous, sir.

00:32:22.355 --> 00:32:24.730 align:center
Sir, how do we keep that guy
in the lock-up from talking?

00:32:25.021 --> 00:32:26.771 align:center
Leave that to me.
I'll shut him up.

00:32:26.855 --> 00:32:27.896 align:center
Alright, sir!

00:32:42.563 --> 00:32:43.605 align:center
Sir, look at this.

00:32:43.688 --> 00:32:45.396 align:center
He already sold off this gem!

00:32:45.855 --> 00:32:46.896 align:center
Who did he sell it to?

00:32:47.021 --> 00:32:48.896 align:center
Uh... a guy named Uppili...

00:32:49.188 --> 00:32:50.605 align:center
He's a jeweller in Paramakudi.

00:32:50.855 --> 00:32:51.896 align:center
He sold it to him.

00:32:52.188 --> 00:32:53.896 align:center
There's another guy
on Theradi Street...

00:32:54.021 --> 00:32:55.563 align:center
who sells necklaces and stuff.

00:32:55.646 --> 00:32:56.813 align:center
His name is Kothandam...

00:32:56.980 --> 00:32:58.021 align:center
A real shady character!

00:32:58.438 --> 00:33:01.521 align:center
He teamed up with him
and made the sale.

00:33:01.646 --> 00:33:03.480 align:center
- Where are they now?
- We've summoned them.

00:33:03.563 --> 00:33:05.730 align:center
If they don't show up,
we'll go arrest them, sir.

00:33:05.813 --> 00:33:06.813 align:center
- Varadarajan!
- Sir!

00:33:07.188 --> 00:33:08.646 align:center
You said this is temple
jewellery, right?

00:33:08.730 --> 00:33:09.688 align:center
Yes, sir!

00:33:09.771 --> 00:33:11.271 align:center
Call in someone from the temple.

00:33:11.355 --> 00:33:12.771 align:center
Let them examine and confirm it.

00:33:17.271 --> 00:33:19.521 align:center
Will you be keeping it here, sir?
Or...

00:33:20.188 --> 00:33:21.896 align:center
Yeah!
Let this be here!

00:33:30.521 --> 00:33:31.521 align:center
Sister-in-law!

00:33:31.980 --> 00:33:32.980 align:center
Where is my brother?

00:33:33.396 --> 00:33:34.855 align:center
Just let him come home!
He's dead meat!

00:33:34.938 --> 00:33:36.188 align:center
What is he so busy with?

00:33:36.896 --> 00:33:38.855 align:center
He promised to pick me up
but never showed up.

00:33:38.938 --> 00:33:40.688 align:center
How long am I supposed to wait?

00:33:42.896 --> 00:33:44.938 align:center
What's wrong, sister?
Why do you look so upset?

00:33:45.438 --> 00:33:46.896 align:center
Hmm?
Tell me!

00:33:47.646 --> 00:33:48.646 align:center
Sister!

00:33:48.730 --> 00:33:49.813 align:center
Look at me!

00:33:50.188 --> 00:33:51.646 align:center
What happened?

00:33:52.646 --> 00:33:53.646 align:center
Hey, don't cry!

00:33:54.188 --> 00:33:55.188 align:center
I don't know...

00:33:55.938 --> 00:33:57.563 align:center
I just have...

00:33:57.646 --> 00:33:58.855 align:center
this overwhelming sense of panic.

00:33:58.938 --> 00:34:00.021 align:center
Don't worry.

00:34:06.438 --> 00:34:09.438 align:center
Say exactly what I told you
when you go in there, got it?

00:34:09.521 --> 00:34:10.480 align:center
Okay.

00:34:10.563 --> 00:34:12.813 align:center
- Don't change a single word!
- Never!

00:34:13.063 --> 00:34:14.438 align:center
And if you do…?

00:34:15.355 --> 00:34:19.521 align:center
I'll frame you both as the
prime suspects in this theft.

00:34:19.688 --> 00:34:20.980 align:center
- Do you understand?
- Yeah...

00:34:23.355 --> 00:34:25.105 align:center
- I'm the one who sold the gem.
- Hmm.

00:34:25.438 --> 00:34:28.396 align:center
Uppili gave that
money to Thavasi.

00:34:28.646 --> 00:34:29.646 align:center
No!

00:34:30.480 --> 00:34:32.146 align:center
- You sold the gem...
- Yeah.

00:34:32.230 --> 00:34:33.855 align:center
- He gave the money to you...
- Okay.

00:34:33.938 --> 00:34:36.146 align:center
- And you gave it to Thavasi.
- Oh, not him? Me! Okay!

00:34:36.438 --> 00:34:37.646 align:center
- Understood?
- Yeah, got it!

00:34:37.771 --> 00:34:39.480 align:center
- Don't say anything else.
- Hmm.

00:34:41.896 --> 00:34:43.271 align:center
We're dead meat!

00:34:43.771 --> 00:34:45.521 align:center
- Here!
- This isn't the temple jewellery.

00:34:47.063 --> 00:34:48.105 align:center
Are you absolutely sure?

00:34:48.188 --> 00:34:49.730 align:center
We already gave you the list.
Just check it yourself.

00:34:51.105 --> 00:34:53.730 align:center
You've updated that Bihar
case in the Case Diary, right?

00:34:53.813 --> 00:34:55.271 align:center
- It's done, sir!
- Hmm.

00:34:55.521 --> 00:34:56.521 align:center
Keep it handy.

00:34:56.771 --> 00:34:57.730 align:center
- Okay, sir!
- We're going to need it.

00:34:57.813 --> 00:34:58.813 align:center
Okay, sir!

00:35:00.855 --> 00:35:01.688 align:center
Yes, sir!

00:35:01.771 --> 00:35:03.813 align:center
Call Varadarajan, Hakim,
and the writer here.

00:35:04.188 --> 00:35:05.230 align:center
Okay, sir!

00:35:07.938 --> 00:35:09.230 align:center
"Veerapaandi!"
The brave warrior!

00:35:09.313 --> 00:35:10.313 align:center
What a joke of a name!

00:35:10.605 --> 00:35:13.271 align:center
You should show some of that bravery
by catching the actual thief.

00:35:13.980 --> 00:35:14.938 align:center
Sorry, sir!

00:35:15.021 --> 00:35:16.355 align:center
The SP had called me.

00:35:16.438 --> 00:35:17.771 align:center
Well, he had every reason to.

00:35:18.521 --> 00:35:20.271 align:center
Now get moving
and catch him quickly!

00:35:20.355 --> 00:35:21.355 align:center
Hmm...

00:35:24.396 --> 00:35:26.230 align:center
Hey! You said this was
temple jewellery, right?

00:35:26.313 --> 00:35:27.855 align:center
- Yes, sir.
- Well, they say it isn't!

00:35:28.021 --> 00:35:28.980 align:center
Uh...

00:35:29.063 --> 00:35:30.105 align:center
Swami!

00:35:30.230 --> 00:35:32.521 align:center
Take a closer look
before you say anything.

00:35:33.646 --> 00:35:36.063 align:center
I bow to the deity every day.
How would I not know?

00:35:37.938 --> 00:35:39.146 align:center
You have exactly one week!

00:35:39.646 --> 00:35:40.605 align:center
Catch the thief!

00:35:40.688 --> 00:35:41.938 align:center
Hmm!
Okay, sir!

00:35:42.021 --> 00:35:43.438 align:center
Such a waste of our time!

00:35:43.771 --> 00:35:44.771 align:center
Come on, Swami!

00:35:49.396 --> 00:35:51.563 align:center
Hey! Are you messing
around or what? Huh?

00:35:51.980 --> 00:35:54.230 align:center
Didn't you say you recovered
the temple jewellery?

00:35:54.313 --> 00:35:55.313 align:center
Sir!

00:35:55.813 --> 00:35:59.063 align:center
If you find this kind of
medallion with someone like him,

00:35:59.188 --> 00:36:00.771 align:center
anyone would get suspicious, sir.

00:36:01.271 --> 00:36:02.438 align:center
Sir, it's not just that...

00:36:02.730 --> 00:36:04.063 align:center
we have actual witnesses too.

00:36:04.146 --> 00:36:05.813 align:center
They're waiting right outside.

00:36:06.855 --> 00:36:07.771 align:center
Don't be scared, Uppili.

00:36:07.855 --> 00:36:08.813 align:center
They won't rough us up or anything.

00:36:08.896 --> 00:36:10.771 align:center
That's exactly what
Varadarajan sir promised, right?

00:36:10.855 --> 00:36:12.063 align:center
- Look over there!
- Huh?

00:36:14.480 --> 00:36:16.355 align:center
What else did
Varadarajan sir promise us?

00:36:17.396 --> 00:36:19.771 align:center
Oh God! I dread to think
what they'll do to us inside!

00:36:27.105 --> 00:36:28.105 align:center
Sir!

00:36:28.438 --> 00:36:29.688 align:center
You heard it yourself, sir!

00:36:31.563 --> 00:36:32.563 align:center
Now...

00:36:35.563 --> 00:36:37.896 align:center
Both of you go wait
outside for a moment.

00:36:38.563 --> 00:36:39.938 align:center
Can we head back
to our village now?

00:36:40.063 --> 00:36:41.063 align:center
Oh, you wish!

00:36:41.313 --> 00:36:42.855 align:center
Get out!
Wait in the corridor.

00:36:42.938 --> 00:36:44.021 align:center
You too, wait outside.

00:36:50.938 --> 00:36:51.938 align:center
Sir!

00:36:52.105 --> 00:36:53.771 align:center
Please don't take
this the wrong way.

00:36:54.855 --> 00:36:56.188 align:center
But in cases like this,

00:36:56.396 --> 00:36:58.271 align:center
your experience
is a bit limited.

00:36:59.980 --> 00:37:01.855 align:center
He's absolutely the
one who stole it.

00:37:02.813 --> 00:37:03.938 align:center
Those witnesses know it...

00:37:04.271 --> 00:37:05.480 align:center
we know it too...

00:37:05.730 --> 00:37:06.771 align:center
and you know it.

00:37:06.896 --> 00:37:07.813 align:center
What's more...

00:37:07.896 --> 00:37:09.188 align:center
the thief himself knows it.

00:37:09.355 --> 00:37:10.396 align:center
Sir!

00:37:10.855 --> 00:37:13.230 align:center
You can tell just by
looking at his face, right?

00:37:14.021 --> 00:37:15.771 align:center
Sir, about six months ago,

00:37:15.855 --> 00:37:18.646 align:center
a bag was reported
stolen at Ambal Lodge.

00:37:19.271 --> 00:37:21.396 align:center
It belonged to a
family from Bihar.

00:37:21.563 --> 00:37:23.313 align:center
The bag contained a chain,
a locket,

00:37:23.480 --> 00:37:24.730 align:center
and some cash, sir.

00:37:24.896 --> 00:37:26.563 align:center
We have that case diary ready!

00:37:27.021 --> 00:37:29.396 align:center
- It's perfectly updated.
- Yes, sir.

00:37:32.480 --> 00:37:33.688 align:center
Sir, listen to me!

00:37:33.771 --> 00:37:35.480 align:center
We'll build an airtight case.

00:37:36.271 --> 00:37:37.980 align:center
Let the court handle the rest.

00:37:38.271 --> 00:37:40.313 align:center
Why bring unnecessary trouble
on ourselves?

00:37:40.980 --> 00:37:42.063 align:center
Alright!

00:37:42.355 --> 00:37:44.105 align:center
It clearly looks like
highly valuable jewellery.

00:37:44.188 --> 00:37:45.980 align:center
After collecting the
gemology certificate,

00:37:46.063 --> 00:37:47.688 align:center
produce him before the Magistrate.

00:37:47.771 --> 00:37:48.855 align:center
Sir, leave it to us.

00:37:48.938 --> 00:37:50.355 align:center
I'll go handle it
personally, sir.

00:37:51.105 --> 00:37:52.146 align:center
Okay!

00:37:53.021 --> 00:37:54.021 align:center
Sir!

00:37:54.188 --> 00:37:55.855 align:center
As far as the
department is concerned,

00:37:56.188 --> 00:37:58.063 align:center
in sensitive cases like these,

00:37:58.313 --> 00:37:59.480 align:center
- as soon as--
- One second!

00:38:03.230 --> 00:38:04.813 align:center
- Sir!
- Veerapandi, where are you?

00:38:05.188 --> 00:38:06.021 align:center
I'm at the station, sir!

00:38:06.105 --> 00:38:08.355 align:center
The station? What's the update
on the minister's visit?

00:38:08.438 --> 00:38:09.396 align:center
Sir!

00:38:09.480 --> 00:38:10.896 align:center
Just handling a small issue,
that's why...

00:38:10.980 --> 00:38:12.063 align:center
Go attend to the minister first!

00:38:12.146 --> 00:38:13.396 align:center
- Sure, okay sir!
- Immediately!

00:38:14.396 --> 00:38:15.605 align:center
Okay sir!
I'm leaving right now.

00:38:15.771 --> 00:38:17.188 align:center
Yeah!
Varadarajan!

00:38:17.438 --> 00:38:18.563 align:center
- Tell me!
- Sir!

00:38:18.646 --> 00:38:20.188 align:center
As far as the
department is concerned,

00:38:20.480 --> 00:38:21.605 align:center
you need to crack this case...

00:38:21.688 --> 00:38:24.480 align:center
and get your face all over
the newspapers and TV.

00:38:24.563 --> 00:38:26.563 align:center
That's the only way
to secure an easy promotion.

00:38:26.688 --> 00:38:28.730 align:center
Spare guys like us, sir,
We're close to retirement.

00:38:28.813 --> 00:38:29.771 align:center
But what about you?

00:38:29.855 --> 00:38:31.563 align:center
Don't miss this opportunity, sir.

00:38:31.771 --> 00:38:33.021 align:center
Trust us, sir!

00:38:33.105 --> 00:38:36.480 align:center
We'll wrap this up nice and clean
for you, sir.

00:38:36.980 --> 00:38:37.980 align:center
Alright, then!

00:38:39.105 --> 00:38:40.896 align:center
- Handle everything carefully.
- Yes, sir!

00:38:43.188 --> 00:38:44.146 align:center
Hey!

00:38:44.230 --> 00:38:46.438 align:center
If Varadarajan gets
caught in this case,

00:38:46.646 --> 00:38:49.480 align:center
- he'll absolutely sink us with him!
- Yes. We must watch our step.

00:38:50.480 --> 00:38:53.021 align:center
It's not enough to just share
the profits together...

00:38:53.230 --> 00:38:55.396 align:center
we have to stick together
when things go south as well.

00:38:57.980 --> 00:38:59.646 align:center
Brother, what happened?

00:39:01.396 --> 00:39:02.396 align:center
Hey!

00:39:02.480 --> 00:39:05.605 align:center
You're standing here crying
without even knowing the truth!

00:39:05.855 --> 00:39:07.605 align:center
This is a theft case!
Did you know that?!

00:39:07.688 --> 00:39:08.730 align:center
Oh no!

00:39:08.938 --> 00:39:10.355 align:center
Six months ago...

00:39:10.896 --> 00:39:15.146 align:center
your husband stole jewellery
and cash from a family from Bihar!

00:39:15.230 --> 00:39:16.563 align:center
- Do you know?
- Brother! Brother!

00:39:16.646 --> 00:39:18.688 align:center
He would never do
something like that!

00:39:18.771 --> 00:39:21.313 align:center
No! He would absolutely
never do that!

00:39:21.396 --> 00:39:22.605 align:center
Please do something to save him!

00:39:22.688 --> 00:39:24.855 align:center
Our union commands respect here!

00:39:25.313 --> 00:39:26.146 align:center
Got it?

00:39:26.230 --> 00:39:28.521 align:center
Don't tarnish our reputation.
Understand?

00:39:28.605 --> 00:39:31.938 align:center
Anyone greedy for another's wealth
deserves to suffer!

00:39:32.896 --> 00:39:34.980 align:center
When we go to the
Magistrate's residence,

00:39:36.438 --> 00:39:37.855 align:center
everything must look
perfectly clean.

00:39:37.938 --> 00:39:38.938 align:center
Got it?

00:39:39.646 --> 00:39:40.646 align:center
You know how?

00:39:41.021 --> 00:39:42.605 align:center
Clean like a newborn baby!

00:39:45.938 --> 00:39:47.021 align:center
Super!

00:39:47.271 --> 00:39:48.271 align:center
Hold this!

00:39:49.813 --> 00:39:55.855 align:center
♪ Is this righteousness?
Is this justice right? ♪

00:39:57.355 --> 00:40:03.771 align:center
♪ Have all the Gods
fallen asleep tonight? ♪

00:40:04.021 --> 00:40:07.188 align:center
♪ Is God a lie?
Is this world untrue? ♪

00:40:07.271 --> 00:40:12.271 align:center
♪ This innocent heart
is breaking in two ♪

00:40:19.938 --> 00:40:21.146 align:center
Here comes the mighty elephant!

00:40:21.230 --> 00:40:23.480 align:center
Hey, I can even
handle this little boy!

00:40:23.563 --> 00:40:24.855 align:center
But this old fellow
can't be handled.

00:40:24.938 --> 00:40:26.646 align:center
- Where is he now?
- He's just babbling over there.

00:40:26.813 --> 00:40:28.146 align:center
Goodness gracious!

00:40:28.438 --> 00:40:29.813 align:center
Hey! What nonsense is this?

00:40:29.896 --> 00:40:31.980 align:center
The police are waiting outside.
Go see what they want.

00:40:32.063 --> 00:40:33.021 align:center
Come here!

00:40:33.105 --> 00:40:35.480 align:center
- This boy has gotten so heavy!
- No, I want to play!

00:40:35.563 --> 00:40:36.396 align:center
Come here now.

00:40:36.480 --> 00:40:38.021 align:center
The elephant needs
to go graze now.

00:40:38.105 --> 00:40:39.438 align:center
Leave him be.
Come along!

00:40:42.563 --> 00:40:43.646 align:center
- Sir!
- Sir!

00:40:49.855 --> 00:40:50.980 align:center
Step into the light.

00:40:51.146 --> 00:40:52.188 align:center
Move forward!

00:40:57.105 --> 00:40:58.188 align:center
Did you steal it?

00:40:59.896 --> 00:41:01.105 align:center
Sir, I found it in the sea!

00:41:01.521 --> 00:41:04.313 align:center
Sir, he keeps repeating that
whenever we question him.

00:41:04.896 --> 00:41:05.980 align:center
Did they beat you?

00:41:12.730 --> 00:41:13.771 align:center
No, sir!

00:41:14.396 --> 00:41:15.646 align:center
What's that mark on your face?

00:41:15.896 --> 00:41:18.980 align:center
Sir, he fell on the boat
while out at sea fishing.

00:41:19.563 --> 00:41:20.730 align:center
Is that so?
Really?

00:41:24.980 --> 00:41:25.980 align:center
Here you go.

00:41:29.730 --> 00:41:30.771 align:center
Sir!

00:41:31.605 --> 00:41:33.646 align:center
Hey elephant!
Come fast, elephant!

00:41:33.730 --> 00:41:34.730 align:center
Coming, coming.

00:41:38.063 --> 00:41:39.105 align:center
Hey, Megala!

00:41:39.396 --> 00:41:40.563 align:center
Come inside!
Come!

00:41:46.813 --> 00:41:47.813 align:center
Have a seat!

00:41:49.771 --> 00:41:50.688 align:center
Hello, Aunty!

00:41:50.771 --> 00:41:53.730 align:center
I told her to check on you
when the flowers stopped coming.

00:41:54.396 --> 00:41:55.605 align:center
Mom, could you bring some tea?

00:41:55.688 --> 00:41:56.730 align:center
Hmm.

00:41:57.730 --> 00:41:58.896 align:center
Come.

00:41:59.896 --> 00:42:01.396 align:center
- Madam!
- It's okay.

00:42:04.105 --> 00:42:06.271 align:center
I went to the petrol bunk.
Gopal told me everything!

00:42:08.896 --> 00:42:11.063 align:center
Can you convince Ma'am
to take on this case at least?

00:42:11.230 --> 00:42:13.355 align:center
- I haven't seen a courtroom in ages!
- Oh, get lost!

00:42:13.688 --> 00:42:15.146 align:center
Is it always about
cases for you?

00:42:15.521 --> 00:42:16.605 align:center
Don't complain to me about this.

00:42:16.688 --> 00:42:17.771 align:center
Go talk to her directly!

00:42:18.563 --> 00:42:19.688 align:center
As if that ever works!

00:42:20.188 --> 00:42:21.188 align:center
I planned to be a lawyer,

00:42:21.313 --> 00:42:22.438 align:center
then pivot into politics,

00:42:22.730 --> 00:42:24.521 align:center
and finally build a nice,
settled life for myself.

00:42:24.605 --> 00:42:26.521 align:center
Instead, it looks like
I'll end up on the streets!

00:42:30.771 --> 00:42:33.355 align:center
The police's version of the story
doesn't seem convincing to me.

00:42:33.730 --> 00:42:35.355 align:center
But it's only human
to commit mistakes.

00:42:35.688 --> 00:42:37.730 align:center
We can't entirely rule out
the possibility of theft.

00:42:37.813 --> 00:42:39.938 align:center
Ma'am, I'd believe it if you said
he killed someone...

00:42:40.021 --> 00:42:42.021 align:center
but I will never believe
he stole anything!

00:42:42.105 --> 00:42:43.646 align:center
No matter who claims it,
I won't believe them.

00:42:43.730 --> 00:42:45.646 align:center
Yes, Ma'am.
Thavasi would never do that.

00:42:45.730 --> 00:42:46.688 align:center
Listen to me.

00:42:46.771 --> 00:42:48.605 align:center
What matters in court
is evidence and witnesses.

00:42:48.688 --> 00:42:49.980 align:center
Let me study the case first.

00:42:51.605 --> 00:42:52.438 align:center
Ma'am,

00:42:52.521 --> 00:42:53.896 align:center
what about your fees?

00:42:54.355 --> 00:42:57.230 align:center
How about I consider all the flowers
you've brought so far as my fee?

00:42:58.105 --> 00:42:59.896 align:center
But Ma'am, you've
already paid for those.

00:42:59.980 --> 00:43:01.271 align:center
Alright, then...

00:43:01.355 --> 00:43:03.480 align:center
whatever flowers you bring
from now on will be my fee.

00:43:03.563 --> 00:43:04.563 align:center
What do you say?

00:43:08.438 --> 00:43:09.480 align:center
Hey, crybaby!

00:43:09.688 --> 00:43:10.688 align:center
Wipe your tears.

00:43:16.105 --> 00:43:17.438 align:center
If the truth is on your side,

00:43:17.563 --> 00:43:18.771 align:center
you will get justice for sure.

00:43:19.563 --> 00:43:22.563 align:center
I'll study the files and
start moving for bail.

00:43:23.021 --> 00:43:24.105 align:center
Okay, ma'am!

00:43:25.646 --> 00:43:27.313 align:center
Time to go to court, finally.

00:43:28.646 --> 00:43:30.563 align:center
Since it is proven that
the wife was assaulted,

00:43:30.646 --> 00:43:32.605 align:center
the court rules, under
the Domestic Violence Act...

00:43:32.688 --> 00:43:34.646 align:center
Hey, look at that monitor lizard...

00:43:34.896 --> 00:43:36.521 align:center
Which case is she appearing for?

00:43:40.021 --> 00:43:41.521 align:center
Rameshwaram Police

00:43:41.646 --> 00:43:43.896 align:center
C.C. Number: 243/23.

00:43:43.980 --> 00:43:45.021 align:center
Thavasi Muthu.

00:43:46.313 --> 00:43:47.146 align:center
Hey!

00:43:47.230 --> 00:43:49.438 align:center
Looks like that monitor lizard
has locked onto you!

00:44:01.105 --> 00:44:02.105 align:center
Your Honour!

00:44:02.313 --> 00:44:03.271 align:center
I am for petitioner,

00:44:03.355 --> 00:44:04.313 align:center
petition for bail.

00:44:04.396 --> 00:44:05.938 align:center
- Hmm.
- Date of remand,

00:44:06.021 --> 00:44:08.021 align:center
24th November, 2023.

00:44:08.105 --> 00:44:11.271 align:center
Offence under section
IPC 378 and 403.

00:44:11.355 --> 00:44:13.021 align:center
- Case of prosecution.
- Hmm...

00:44:13.146 --> 00:44:14.813 align:center
Your Honour, the accused is charged

00:44:14.938 --> 00:44:17.938 align:center
with stealing a 12-gram
gold chain and a ruby medallion

00:44:18.438 --> 00:44:24.438 align:center
belonging to Jagdish Chander from Bihar,

00:44:24.521 --> 00:44:28.980 align:center
who stayed at the Ambal Lodge
on Theradi Street in Rameswaram

00:44:29.063 --> 00:44:30.480 align:center
on May 22, 2023.

00:44:30.855 --> 00:44:31.855 align:center
Your Honour!

00:44:32.105 --> 00:44:33.438 align:center
He's not a habitual offender.

00:44:34.521 --> 00:44:36.230 align:center
He has absolutely no antecedents.

00:44:36.688 --> 00:44:38.146 align:center
At Rameswaram's Agni Teertham shore,

00:44:38.230 --> 00:44:42.105 align:center
diving into the sea to collect coins
has been a long-standing practice.

00:44:42.355 --> 00:44:43.688 align:center
It is a legitimate livelihood.

00:44:44.313 --> 00:44:47.646 align:center
He simply found this medallion
in the sea while doing that work.

00:44:49.230 --> 00:44:51.230 align:center
This is a case fabricated
by the police, Your Honor!

00:44:51.313 --> 00:44:52.313 align:center
Your Honour!

00:44:52.896 --> 00:44:55.313 align:center
If we grant bail to an accused
in a theft case...

00:44:55.521 --> 00:44:59.646 align:center
simply because he has
no prior antecedents...

00:44:59.980 --> 00:45:02.730 align:center
it will only lead to further crimes.

00:45:02.896 --> 00:45:06.230 align:center
Your Honor, if he is granted bail,
he won't tamper with the witnesses.

00:45:06.313 --> 00:45:07.896 align:center
He's an ordinary man.
He's not a thief.

00:45:07.980 --> 00:45:08.980 align:center
Your Honour!

00:45:09.063 --> 00:45:11.188 align:center
No one is born a criminal.

00:45:11.396 --> 00:45:14.021 align:center
It is circumstances that
make someone a criminal.

00:45:14.105 --> 00:45:15.105 align:center
Your Honour,

00:45:15.188 --> 00:45:18.105 align:center
filing the copy of judgement
Sukhwant Singh v/s the State of Punjab.

00:45:28.896 --> 00:45:30.605 align:center
Kindly see page
number six of the--

00:45:31.688 --> 00:45:32.688 align:center
Proceed!

00:45:33.271 --> 00:45:35.313 align:center
Kindly see page number
six of the judgement.

00:45:38.021 --> 00:45:40.230 align:center
This is merely a citation.

00:45:40.396 --> 00:45:41.771 align:center
It is not the law.

00:45:42.021 --> 00:45:43.021 align:center
Your Honour!

00:45:43.313 --> 00:45:46.605 align:center
He kept the medallion he found
hidden away for six months...

00:45:46.813 --> 00:45:48.021 align:center
and only then did he sell it.

00:45:48.521 --> 00:45:51.438 align:center
The police have tracked down
the owners who lost the jewellery.

00:45:51.521 --> 00:45:53.188 align:center
They are currently in Bihar.

00:45:53.271 --> 00:45:54.938 align:center
They must be brought here...

00:45:55.021 --> 00:45:57.146 align:center
so they can identify
the stolen jewellery.

00:45:57.230 --> 00:45:58.438 align:center
In the meantime,

00:45:58.521 --> 00:46:00.980 align:center
if he's released on bail,

00:46:02.271 --> 00:46:04.230 align:center
he will likely try to
tamper with the witnesses.

00:46:04.313 --> 00:46:06.938 align:center
There are serious doubts regarding
the case diary produced by the police.

00:46:07.021 --> 00:46:09.146 align:center
Your Honor, there is absolutely
no basis for doubt here.

00:46:09.230 --> 00:46:11.771 align:center
Kindly allow me to
examine a witness.

00:46:11.855 --> 00:46:13.063 align:center
I'll clear everything up.

00:46:13.438 --> 00:46:14.896 align:center
Your Honour, how
is that possible?

00:46:15.063 --> 00:46:16.855 align:center
You are the one who raised
the doubts, Madam.

00:46:16.938 --> 00:46:18.188 align:center
Let him examine the witness!

00:46:20.855 --> 00:46:21.896 align:center
Selvam!

00:46:22.063 --> 00:46:23.813 align:center
Selvam!
Selvam!

00:46:38.688 --> 00:46:40.980 align:center
- Do you swear to tell the truth?
- I swear to tell only the truth.

00:46:41.063 --> 00:46:42.063 align:center
Your Aadhaar card?

00:46:43.938 --> 00:46:45.105 align:center
- Name?
- Selvam!

00:46:45.188 --> 00:46:46.688 align:center
- Father's name?
- Marikkolunthu!

00:46:46.771 --> 00:46:48.896 align:center
- Address?
- 34, Masi street,

00:46:49.563 --> 00:46:51.730 align:center
Pudur, Rameswaram.

00:46:55.063 --> 00:46:56.771 align:center
- Do you know him?
- I've known him for years.

00:46:56.855 --> 00:46:57.813 align:center
Oh!

00:46:57.896 --> 00:47:01.146 align:center
On May 22nd, 2023,

00:47:01.271 --> 00:47:04.646 align:center
did you see him in front of
Ambal Lodge in Rameshwaram?

00:47:05.021 --> 00:47:06.021 align:center
Yes, sir!
I saw him!

00:47:06.813 --> 00:47:09.605 align:center
Did anything seem
suspicious about him?

00:47:09.938 --> 00:47:11.063 align:center
He looked...

00:47:11.146 --> 00:47:13.730 align:center
- incredibly nervous and anxious.
- Note this point, Your Honour!

00:47:13.813 --> 00:47:14.896 align:center
Recently...

00:47:14.980 --> 00:47:18.521 align:center
have you noticed any sudden
change in his financial status?

00:47:18.771 --> 00:47:19.771 align:center
Yes, sir!

00:47:20.521 --> 00:47:22.230 align:center
- He has been spending heavily!
- Oh!

00:47:22.313 --> 00:47:25.355 align:center
He used to rent a toy cart.
Now he has bought his own.

00:47:25.438 --> 00:47:27.271 align:center
Oh!
That's all, Your Honour!

00:47:27.355 --> 00:47:28.355 align:center
You bloody...!

00:47:28.521 --> 00:47:30.480 align:center
Kindly allow me to cross
the witness, Your Honour.

00:47:30.563 --> 00:47:31.563 align:center
Okay.

00:47:40.730 --> 00:47:42.563 align:center
If you are proven to
be a hostile witness,

00:47:42.688 --> 00:47:45.771 align:center
do you know the court
can punish you for perjury?

00:47:47.355 --> 00:47:48.188 align:center
I know!

00:47:48.271 --> 00:47:50.521 align:center
When exactly did you see him
outside Ambal Lodge that day?

00:47:51.063 --> 00:47:52.063 align:center
In the evening.

00:47:52.480 --> 00:47:54.230 align:center
Did you go out to sea that day?

00:47:54.438 --> 00:47:55.855 align:center
Yes, I left at 6:00 a.m.

00:47:55.938 --> 00:47:56.980 align:center
When did you return?

00:48:01.313 --> 00:48:03.063 align:center
By 3:00 p.m. in the afternoon.

00:48:03.146 --> 00:48:06.063 align:center
Did Thavasi Muthu go
to sea with you that day?

00:48:07.938 --> 00:48:08.813 align:center
Yes, he did!

00:48:08.896 --> 00:48:10.355 align:center
This is irrelevant!

00:48:10.605 --> 00:48:12.063 align:center
- All this about timings...
- Sit down!

00:48:12.146 --> 00:48:13.646 align:center
How can anyone remember
the exact time?

00:48:13.730 --> 00:48:14.855 align:center
It is difficult, Your Honor!

00:48:15.313 --> 00:48:16.313 align:center
But he can do it.

00:48:17.605 --> 00:48:22.980 align:center
He even recalls Thavasi Muthu
looking anxious on May 22nd, 2023.

00:48:24.480 --> 00:48:25.771 align:center
As per the police case diary,

00:48:25.855 --> 00:48:27.813 align:center
the theft occurred
around 11:00 a.m.

00:48:28.230 --> 00:48:29.355 align:center
But according to the witness,

00:48:29.438 --> 00:48:33.105 align:center
Thavasi Muthu was out at sea
catching squid at that very time.

00:48:34.688 --> 00:48:36.063 align:center
Now, the doubts are cleared!

00:48:36.230 --> 00:48:38.188 align:center
- That's all, Your Honour.
- Hmm...

00:48:38.271 --> 00:48:39.313 align:center
Your Honour!

00:48:39.480 --> 00:48:42.896 align:center
To sell the stolen stone
from the medallion...

00:48:43.396 --> 00:48:47.105 align:center
Thavasi Muthu directly approached
the gem vendor, Kothandam.

00:48:47.396 --> 00:48:49.396 align:center
He is present in court today.

00:48:49.563 --> 00:48:52.063 align:center
We can examine him
as well, Your Honor.

00:48:52.230 --> 00:48:53.313 align:center
That's not necessary.

00:48:53.730 --> 00:48:54.855 align:center
Thank you, Your Honour!

00:48:55.980 --> 00:48:58.063 align:center
Allow me to cross
examine Kothandam, Your Honour.

00:48:58.146 --> 00:48:59.146 align:center
Permission granted.

00:48:59.730 --> 00:49:00.730 align:center
Hmm!

00:49:03.521 --> 00:49:04.646 align:center
Kothandam!

00:49:04.730 --> 00:49:06.313 align:center
Kothandam!
Kothandam!

00:49:07.438 --> 00:49:08.730 align:center
I swear to tell only the truth!

00:49:08.855 --> 00:49:10.896 align:center
I swear to tell only the truth!

00:49:10.980 --> 00:49:13.480 align:center
When Thavasi Muthu
brought the gemstone to you,

00:49:13.563 --> 00:49:15.938 align:center
didn't you ask
where he got it from?

00:49:16.063 --> 00:49:17.021 align:center
I did ask him.

00:49:17.105 --> 00:49:18.313 align:center
But he didn't say anything.

00:49:18.688 --> 00:49:20.021 align:center
He sold it and left in a hurry.

00:49:20.313 --> 00:49:21.980 align:center
- When exactly did he meet you?
- Your Honour!

00:49:22.105 --> 00:49:25.438 align:center
The police have submitted all
witness statements to this court...

00:49:25.563 --> 00:49:29.563 align:center
as a formal document under
Section 161 of the CrPC.

00:49:29.855 --> 00:49:32.855 align:center
Rameswaram is not
just any ordinary town.

00:49:33.105 --> 00:49:36.146 align:center
Every day, hundreds of thousands
of people transit through here.

00:49:36.605 --> 00:49:40.271 align:center
Numerous crimes, including smuggling,
frequently occur in this region.

00:49:40.521 --> 00:49:41.521 align:center
Therefore,

00:49:41.605 --> 00:49:44.396 align:center
considering the gravity
of this offence...

00:49:44.480 --> 00:49:47.730 align:center
and the critical need for further
interrogation of the accused...

00:49:47.938 --> 00:49:52.063 align:center
I humbly request an extension
of his judicial remand.

00:49:52.480 --> 00:49:54.230 align:center
- Your Honour!
- Wait, wait, wait!

00:49:54.313 --> 00:49:56.771 align:center
He states that further
interrogation is required, correct?

00:49:56.980 --> 00:49:57.980 align:center
Let them proceed!

00:49:58.105 --> 00:49:59.813 align:center
The remand is hereby extended.

00:50:02.771 --> 00:50:03.730 align:center
Sir!

00:50:03.813 --> 00:50:04.896 align:center
- Sister!
- Stay here, sister!

00:50:04.980 --> 00:50:06.355 align:center
Here, take this, sir!

00:50:21.813 --> 00:50:23.855 align:center
My husband brought all of this
back from the sea!

00:50:23.938 --> 00:50:26.021 align:center
Please lock us up in jail
along with him, sir!

00:50:32.938 --> 00:50:34.105 align:center
Hey, golden boy!

00:50:38.355 --> 00:50:39.355 align:center
Did you know?

00:50:39.771 --> 00:50:41.271 align:center
There are sixty-four classical arts!

00:50:41.771 --> 00:50:44.313 align:center
Among them, our
art is the most refined.

00:50:44.605 --> 00:50:46.063 align:center
The art of theft!

00:50:47.855 --> 00:50:48.980 align:center
Do not worry one bit.

00:50:49.146 --> 00:50:50.396 align:center
Big brother is right here.

00:50:50.480 --> 00:50:52.146 align:center
Bail is no big deal!

00:50:52.771 --> 00:50:53.938 align:center
You'll be out soon.

00:50:54.480 --> 00:50:55.771 align:center
We will form a team...

00:50:55.980 --> 00:50:57.646 align:center
and we will rock it, okay?

00:50:58.896 --> 00:51:01.063 align:center
Why are you telling me all this?

00:51:01.521 --> 00:51:02.855 align:center
I'm not a thief!

00:51:03.355 --> 00:51:05.396 align:center
- I haven't stolen a single rupee!
- Huh?

00:51:05.730 --> 00:51:07.813 align:center
No matter who asks,
that is exactly what you say!

00:51:07.980 --> 00:51:11.646 align:center
I have been saying the exact
same thing for 22 years.

00:51:12.438 --> 00:51:14.063 align:center
Just imagine, if we team up,

00:51:15.646 --> 00:51:18.855 align:center
we can clean out
an entire jewellery shop!

00:51:19.646 --> 00:51:21.188 align:center
- What say?
- Hey, what's that noise?

00:51:22.438 --> 00:51:23.355 align:center
Hey, you thieving rascal!

00:51:23.438 --> 00:51:24.980 align:center
Where are you going?
Come over here!

00:51:25.230 --> 00:51:26.313 align:center
Hey! What's happening here?

00:51:28.021 --> 00:51:30.771 align:center
How can I sleep with all that
stolen gold sitting outside?

00:51:49.188 --> 00:51:50.938 align:center
This theft case
won't hold up in court.

00:51:51.063 --> 00:51:53.396 align:center
She's going to walk the police
right into a perfect trap.

00:51:53.813 --> 00:51:56.646 align:center
If there's even a single
loophole, she'll tear them apart.

00:51:56.813 --> 00:51:57.980 align:center
From what I can tell,

00:51:58.396 --> 00:52:00.896 align:center
the whole case is built on
nothing but loopholes.

00:52:01.480 --> 00:52:02.438 align:center
- Hey!
- Sir?

00:52:02.521 --> 00:52:04.230 align:center
Don't you know how
to handle a theft case?

00:52:04.605 --> 00:52:05.980 align:center
How long have
you been in service?

00:52:06.438 --> 00:52:07.438 align:center
Four years.

00:52:07.521 --> 00:52:08.521 align:center
Four years!

00:52:08.771 --> 00:52:10.480 align:center
Forget their side, sir.

00:52:11.021 --> 00:52:13.813 align:center
There's still a chance if
that Bihar family shows up.

00:52:14.563 --> 00:52:15.896 align:center
Did you contact them?

00:52:16.646 --> 00:52:17.605 align:center
We tried, sir.

00:52:17.688 --> 00:52:19.980 align:center
The complainant passed
away 2 months ago.

00:52:20.063 --> 00:52:21.188 align:center
Wonderful!

00:52:21.480 --> 00:52:23.521 align:center
Any other heir to the medallion?

00:52:23.771 --> 00:52:25.230 align:center
The deceased
has a daughter, sir.

00:52:25.313 --> 00:52:26.563 align:center
Her name is Bimla Devi.

00:52:26.855 --> 00:52:28.605 align:center
- What?
- Bimla Devi!

00:52:28.688 --> 00:52:29.688 align:center
Bimla Devi?

00:52:29.938 --> 00:52:31.146 align:center
- Yes!
- Oh yeah!

00:52:32.188 --> 00:52:33.188 align:center
Jagadish Chandar's...

00:52:34.063 --> 00:52:35.021 align:center
Daughter?

00:52:35.105 --> 00:52:37.396 align:center
Yes! I'm Jagadish Chandar's
daughter. What do you want?

00:52:37.771 --> 00:52:39.938 align:center
Super!
Your address is... oh God!

00:52:40.146 --> 00:52:42.146 align:center
Akbarpur, Main Road, Bihar...

00:52:42.230 --> 00:52:44.896 align:center
Main Bihar.
Pin code: 801302.

00:52:45.396 --> 00:52:48.063 align:center
Why are you disturbing me during
business hours? Please leave!

00:52:48.146 --> 00:52:49.646 align:center
- Let me do my work!
- Super!

00:52:50.021 --> 00:52:51.105 align:center
6 months back...

00:52:51.188 --> 00:52:52.855 align:center
There's that bridge in
Rameshwaram, right?

00:52:52.938 --> 00:52:54.563 align:center
- What?
- Oh no!

00:52:54.646 --> 00:52:56.730 align:center
One, two, three,
four, five... what next?

00:52:56.813 --> 00:52:57.896 align:center
One, two, three, four, five?

00:52:57.980 --> 00:52:58.980 align:center
- Oh God, now what?
- Six!

00:52:59.188 --> 00:53:01.271 align:center
Six!
Six months back...

00:53:01.396 --> 00:53:03.438 align:center
Rameshwaram temple, right?
That temple!

00:53:04.438 --> 00:53:05.438 align:center
Ambal Lodge?

00:53:05.521 --> 00:53:07.563 align:center
The bag... passed away!
Just like that!

00:53:07.813 --> 00:53:08.813 align:center
Passed away?

00:53:09.480 --> 00:53:11.105 align:center
Are you talking
about the stolen bag?

00:53:11.188 --> 00:53:13.313 align:center
Exactly! The bag just
passed out... and away... Super!

00:53:13.646 --> 00:53:14.855 align:center
Inside the bag...

00:53:15.021 --> 00:53:16.021 align:center
Locket?

00:53:16.105 --> 00:53:17.063 align:center
Gone... locket?

00:53:17.146 --> 00:53:19.230 align:center
Huh? Yes!
There was a locket in it!

00:53:20.521 --> 00:53:21.646 align:center
That locket...

00:53:21.980 --> 00:53:23.813 align:center
Okay!
That locket size, right?

00:53:23.938 --> 00:53:25.688 align:center
Centre piece...
Green colour stone.

00:53:26.396 --> 00:53:27.396 align:center
Round...

00:53:27.938 --> 00:53:28.771 align:center
Circle?

00:53:28.855 --> 00:53:30.938 align:center
Small small small small stone...

00:53:31.605 --> 00:53:32.605 align:center
They look good!

00:53:33.105 --> 00:53:34.813 align:center
- But, different colour ma'am...
- Why are you troubling me?

00:53:34.896 --> 00:53:36.563 align:center
- Stone, ma'am! Ma'am!
- You'll ruin my business!

00:53:36.646 --> 00:53:38.605 align:center
- Ma'am, please listen!
- Where do they even come from?

00:53:39.438 --> 00:53:41.021 align:center
- This locket!
- Hmm?

00:53:43.480 --> 00:53:44.813 align:center
Good job, all of you!

00:53:45.188 --> 00:53:48.605 align:center
Sir, could you please ask them
to wait outside for a moment?

00:53:49.146 --> 00:53:50.188 align:center
Go!

00:53:51.271 --> 00:53:52.271 align:center
Hmm!

00:53:54.438 --> 00:53:55.563 align:center
Hey, Varadarajan!

00:53:57.105 --> 00:53:58.730 align:center
I've ordered an
internal enquiry.

00:54:00.438 --> 00:54:01.438 align:center
Let the report come in.

00:54:01.896 --> 00:54:02.896 align:center
We'll talk after that.

00:54:05.563 --> 00:54:06.563 align:center
Leave now!

00:54:10.313 --> 00:54:11.313 align:center
Sir!

00:54:11.396 --> 00:54:13.730 align:center
Don't involve them
in this case any more.

00:54:14.146 --> 00:54:16.313 align:center
Something about
them feels fishy.

00:54:16.980 --> 00:54:18.063 align:center
No, sir.

00:54:18.563 --> 00:54:20.230 align:center
I've done an enquiry.
They're clean.

00:54:20.313 --> 00:54:21.563 align:center
Don't take it lightly.

00:54:21.980 --> 00:54:23.896 align:center
Kanchana's father
is Madurai Venkitachalam.

00:54:23.980 --> 00:54:25.813 align:center
He was a prominent lawyer.
He passed away.

00:54:25.896 --> 00:54:27.896 align:center
She's got his arrogance.

00:54:28.313 --> 00:54:29.521 align:center
Be careful, sir!

00:54:30.521 --> 00:54:31.563 align:center
Kanchana...

00:54:31.813 --> 00:54:33.480 align:center
She's a very dangerous woman!

00:54:33.813 --> 00:54:35.730 align:center
But your statement...
Case big turning point, sir!

00:54:35.813 --> 00:54:36.855 align:center
Please sir!
Please sir!

00:54:36.938 --> 00:54:38.813 align:center
This is such a nuisance!

00:54:39.063 --> 00:54:41.313 align:center
All this happened
because of her father.

00:54:41.396 --> 00:54:43.146 align:center
Hey!
What did my father do?

00:54:43.563 --> 00:54:44.521 align:center
Listen!

00:54:44.605 --> 00:54:47.688 align:center
We have nothing
to do with this case!

00:54:47.938 --> 00:54:48.855 align:center
You understand?

00:54:48.938 --> 00:54:49.938 align:center
Hey! Move!

00:54:50.605 --> 00:54:52.521 align:center
- You people have no humanity?
- What?

00:54:52.605 --> 00:54:53.896 align:center
You did the same
to me too, right?

00:54:53.980 --> 00:54:55.396 align:center
What's wrong with you people?

00:54:55.688 --> 00:54:57.563 align:center
Where did this poor fellow come from?
Chennai?

00:54:57.730 --> 00:54:58.688 align:center
Yes, Chennai!

00:54:58.771 --> 00:55:00.146 align:center
What do you want to sign?
Show me.

00:55:00.605 --> 00:55:01.855 align:center
Where is it?
The statement?

00:55:01.938 --> 00:55:03.813 align:center
The statement?!
Yes, the statement!

00:55:03.896 --> 00:55:06.146 align:center
Why so much drama?
It's just a statement, right?

00:55:06.271 --> 00:55:08.021 align:center
At least once, try doing
some good for someone.

00:55:08.105 --> 00:55:10.605 align:center
Ma'am, I somehow managed
with my broken Hindi!

00:55:10.688 --> 00:55:12.355 align:center
I think it'll work if you speak.
Please talk!

00:55:12.438 --> 00:55:13.771 align:center
- Hey, what is this?
- You talk, my ma'am!

00:55:13.855 --> 00:55:14.855 align:center
- What's this?
- Hello, ma'am!

00:55:14.938 --> 00:55:16.146 align:center
- What is he doing?
- Madam!

00:55:16.230 --> 00:55:17.563 align:center
My name is Kanchana!

00:55:19.563 --> 00:55:21.313 align:center
This Thavasi Muthu, right?

00:55:21.396 --> 00:55:23.813 align:center
He's a fisherman.
He's in trouble!

00:55:23.896 --> 00:55:25.771 align:center
If you give a statement...

00:55:26.021 --> 00:55:28.271 align:center
- His life will be saved!
- What nonsense is this?

00:55:28.771 --> 00:55:30.021 align:center
Please listen to me!

00:55:30.730 --> 00:55:31.730 align:center
You see…
I...

00:55:31.896 --> 00:55:33.313 align:center
What statement am
I supposed to give?

00:55:33.438 --> 00:55:34.855 align:center
I don't understand anything!

00:55:35.313 --> 00:55:36.313 align:center
Gone!

00:55:36.646 --> 00:55:39.438 align:center
These elevators and transport
buses are all the same...

00:55:39.938 --> 00:55:42.563 align:center
They never go where
we actually need to!

00:55:45.396 --> 00:55:46.313 align:center
It's here!

00:55:46.396 --> 00:55:47.230 align:center
Sir!

00:55:47.313 --> 00:55:50.605 align:center
In our case... the bus
will stop at the right place!

00:55:50.688 --> 00:55:51.605 align:center
How, sir?

00:55:51.688 --> 00:55:54.480 align:center
I've got a plan for that, sir!

00:55:57.605 --> 00:56:01.063 align:center
The locket that I lost
was actually quite small.

00:56:01.396 --> 00:56:02.896 align:center
This isn't that locket.

00:56:03.105 --> 00:56:05.355 align:center
So, I have no
connection to this case.

00:56:05.438 --> 00:56:06.313 align:center
Your Honour,

00:56:06.396 --> 00:56:09.896 align:center
The illegal 18-day custody of
the innocent Thavasi Muthu,

00:56:10.105 --> 00:56:14.230 align:center
is a clear mockery of Article 21 of the
fundamental rights of the Constitution.

00:56:14.563 --> 00:56:18.105 align:center
This is absolute proof that the case
was completely fabricated by police!

00:56:19.563 --> 00:56:22.521 align:center
The petitioner fully deserves
to be granted bail, Your Honour.

00:56:22.813 --> 00:56:24.271 align:center
Hmm!
Hmm!

00:56:24.938 --> 00:56:26.188 align:center
But in this case,

00:56:26.480 --> 00:56:28.230 align:center
bail is not my only prayer.

00:56:28.480 --> 00:56:31.438 align:center
I humbly place two requests
before this Honourable Court.

00:56:31.605 --> 00:56:32.563 align:center
First,

00:56:32.646 --> 00:56:35.896 align:center
just as the coins he salvaged
while diving belong to Thavasi Muthu...

00:56:35.980 --> 00:56:41.521 align:center
the ruby medallion recovered from the sea
must also be declared his legal property.

00:56:45.188 --> 00:56:46.063 align:center
Second,

00:56:46.146 --> 00:56:48.521 align:center
for falsely accusing
Thavasi Muthu,

00:56:48.605 --> 00:56:51.938 align:center
and causing severe
humiliation to him and his family,

00:56:52.021 --> 00:56:56.188 align:center
a case must be filed against police
under IPC Section 348, Your Honor.

00:56:59.980 --> 00:57:00.980 align:center
What are you doing?

00:57:01.980 --> 00:57:02.938 align:center
Hey!

00:57:03.021 --> 00:57:04.188 align:center
What the hell have you done?

00:57:04.396 --> 00:57:05.563 align:center
PP!

00:57:05.688 --> 00:57:06.896 align:center
What happened, PP?

00:57:06.980 --> 00:57:08.688 align:center
Looks like you've fallen!

00:57:09.563 --> 00:57:11.355 align:center
- My pen!
- Oh, your pen?

00:57:11.855 --> 00:57:12.813 align:center
Got it!

00:57:12.896 --> 00:57:14.188 align:center
Just my pen!

00:57:14.896 --> 00:57:17.855 align:center
All your stories got washed
away by the video footage!

00:57:18.605 --> 00:57:20.605 align:center
So, have the police
filed a false case?

00:57:20.896 --> 00:57:23.230 align:center
The police investigation
is still ongoing, Your Honour!

00:57:23.396 --> 00:57:27.021 align:center
An extension is required
for further inquiry.

00:57:27.480 --> 00:57:31.521 align:center
Are you suggesting that he
remain in jail until the trial ends?

00:57:31.605 --> 00:57:33.688 align:center
No! Not at all!

00:57:33.855 --> 00:57:34.980 align:center
From the government's side,

00:57:35.313 --> 00:57:38.980 align:center
there is no objection to
granting bail to Thavasi Muthu.

00:57:39.396 --> 00:57:40.646 align:center
At the same time,

00:57:41.021 --> 00:57:42.230 align:center
I would like to present...

00:57:42.521 --> 00:57:46.521 align:center
a few important
matters before the court.

00:57:46.605 --> 00:57:47.605 align:center
Your Honour!

00:57:48.021 --> 00:57:50.230 align:center
What is the speciality
of Rameswaram?

00:57:50.313 --> 00:57:52.438 align:center
It's a place of profound
historical significance...

00:57:52.563 --> 00:57:54.605 align:center
rich with great
mythological legends.

00:57:55.063 --> 00:57:58.105 align:center
Mythology and history
are not the same, PP!

00:57:58.188 --> 00:57:59.813 align:center
Let me come to the
point, Your Honour.

00:57:59.896 --> 00:58:01.396 align:center
Take Dhanushkodi, for instance...

00:58:01.521 --> 00:58:04.355 align:center
an entire culture lies completely
buried under that sand.

00:58:04.771 --> 00:58:07.105 align:center
Your Honor, the PP is testing
our patience.

00:58:07.188 --> 00:58:10.063 align:center
Is Thavasi Muthu responsible
for what lies buried in Dhanushkodi?

00:58:10.146 --> 00:58:11.063 align:center
Don't be silly!

00:58:11.146 --> 00:58:12.980 align:center
PP wouldn't think
something like that!

00:58:13.063 --> 00:58:14.313 align:center
Thank you, Your Honour!

00:58:15.105 --> 00:58:17.355 align:center
In Tamil Nadu, for
the past ten years,

00:58:17.438 --> 00:58:21.105 align:center
many treasures have been discovered
at over 200 different sites.

00:58:21.521 --> 00:58:24.480 align:center
All of them are
over 100 years old!

00:58:24.563 --> 00:58:25.563 align:center
PP!

00:58:25.855 --> 00:58:28.230 align:center
Don't waste the court's time!

00:58:29.105 --> 00:58:30.896 align:center
Honestly, I'm not
doing that, Your Honour!

00:58:31.230 --> 00:58:32.813 align:center
This is my entire argument!

00:58:33.355 --> 00:58:36.146 align:center
The medallion said to be
found by Thavasi Muthu...

00:58:36.480 --> 00:58:38.771 align:center
It is a rare treasure!

00:58:40.813 --> 00:58:42.646 align:center
An invaluable treasure!

00:58:47.188 --> 00:58:48.355 align:center
What?
A treasure?

00:58:51.438 --> 00:58:52.480 align:center
How can it be a treasure?

00:58:52.730 --> 00:58:54.230 align:center
I'm strongly denying
this, Your Honour!

00:58:54.313 --> 00:58:57.980 align:center
You've dropped the theft case
and now you're calling it a treasure?

00:58:58.105 --> 00:59:00.688 align:center
Whether it was found on land
or in the depths of the sea...

00:59:00.896 --> 00:59:03.938 align:center
any ancient object of value
is legally a treasure.

00:59:04.313 --> 00:59:05.771 align:center
That's what the law says!

00:59:05.855 --> 00:59:07.438 align:center
This is indeed a treasure, Your Honour!

00:59:07.938 --> 00:59:09.480 align:center
I'm strongly denying
this, Your Honour!

00:59:09.688 --> 00:59:10.688 align:center
Your Honour!

00:59:10.980 --> 00:59:12.646 align:center
The Indian Treasure Trove Act...

00:59:13.105 --> 00:59:15.355 align:center
of 1878!

00:59:15.438 --> 00:59:16.480 align:center
It states this clearly.

00:59:16.563 --> 00:59:18.938 align:center
Perhaps the defence counsel
isn't aware of it.

00:59:19.105 --> 00:59:21.980 align:center
If an individual finds
any such valuable object...

00:59:22.271 --> 00:59:25.396 align:center
the law dictates it must be
reported to the District Collector.

00:59:25.605 --> 00:59:26.771 align:center
But what has happened here?

00:59:27.021 --> 00:59:28.980 align:center
Without informing anyone,

00:59:29.063 --> 00:59:32.313 align:center
he took it and sold
it off on his own!

00:59:32.605 --> 00:59:34.438 align:center
Under this very Act,
that is an offence!

00:59:36.230 --> 00:59:38.146 align:center
This is also a form of theft,
Your Honor!

00:59:42.105 --> 00:59:44.146 align:center
Now he's starting a whole
new argument altogether!

00:59:44.396 --> 00:59:46.105 align:center
So, does he mean all the coins

00:59:46.188 --> 00:59:48.521 align:center
Thavasi Muthu collected over
the years are treasures too?

00:59:50.146 --> 00:59:51.771 align:center
Are those supposed to be kept
in the state treasury as well?

00:59:52.938 --> 00:59:53.896 align:center
Your Honour!

00:59:53.980 --> 00:59:55.105 align:center
Some man-made medallion

00:59:55.188 --> 00:59:57.105 align:center
An ornament that someone
threw into the sea.

00:59:57.188 --> 00:59:58.188 align:center
That's all it is!

00:59:58.271 --> 00:59:59.521 align:center
Even if that's the case,

00:59:59.646 --> 01:00:02.563 align:center
the location where the medallion
was found must be inspected.

01:00:03.396 --> 01:00:04.896 align:center
That's what the law says!

01:00:05.646 --> 01:00:07.188 align:center
- Your Honor! Law is for common--
- Relax! Relax!

01:00:07.271 --> 01:00:08.271 align:center
Relax! Relax!

01:00:08.355 --> 01:00:09.771 align:center
Now, you'll say one thing…

01:00:09.855 --> 01:00:12.355 align:center
And he'll respond with
something entirely unrelated.

01:00:12.438 --> 01:00:14.021 align:center
I'd rather resolve this myself.

01:00:14.105 --> 01:00:15.980 align:center
This is a rare case!

01:00:16.771 --> 01:00:20.230 align:center
We can't simply dismiss the
claim that it could be a treasure.

01:00:20.313 --> 01:00:22.313 align:center
Your Honor, what about the theft
case filed by the police then?

01:00:22.396 --> 01:00:26.605 align:center
Let the police investigate
their ongoing theft case!

01:00:28.355 --> 01:00:33.105 align:center
And let the relevant authorities
investigate the treasure claim!

01:00:34.813 --> 01:00:38.313 align:center
The court hereby grants
bail to Thavasi Muthu!

01:00:49.105 --> 01:00:50.146 align:center
Yes, sir!

01:00:50.980 --> 01:00:52.688 align:center
Madam! Madam!

01:00:53.188 --> 01:00:54.605 align:center
Madam, what just happened?

01:00:54.938 --> 01:00:56.646 align:center
He just twisted
the whole matter!

01:00:56.730 --> 01:00:58.646 align:center
He turned a tiny louse
into a mighty elephant...

01:00:58.730 --> 01:01:00.688 align:center
made it a god, and left the idol
stranded out on the street.

01:01:00.771 --> 01:01:05.396 align:center
Now watch me build a temple for that
god and throw a grand festival!

01:01:07.230 --> 01:01:08.230 align:center
Shucks!

01:01:08.563 --> 01:01:11.063 align:center
First, stop bowing with folded hands
to every person you see.

01:01:12.021 --> 01:01:13.396 align:center
The game has only just begun!

01:01:14.271 --> 01:01:16.480 align:center
I don't want to be part
of any game, Ma'am!

01:01:17.146 --> 01:01:19.605 align:center
Even if you want to back out,
you have no choice but to play.

01:01:19.730 --> 01:01:21.063 align:center
The hunt has begun, Thavasi!

01:01:21.355 --> 01:01:22.396 align:center
A treasure hunt!

01:01:22.730 --> 01:01:23.771 align:center
Be ready!

01:01:25.105 --> 01:01:26.146 align:center
Kalki Amma!

01:01:26.521 --> 01:01:27.855 align:center
You're making me talk...

01:01:28.646 --> 01:01:29.771 align:center
and I'm speaking.

01:01:31.105 --> 01:01:32.313 align:center
Hey!

01:01:33.771 --> 01:01:35.188 align:center
Did you agree to this?

01:01:35.271 --> 01:01:36.146 align:center
Huh?

01:01:36.230 --> 01:01:38.855 align:center
The fact that your husband's
life is spared is itself a miracle.

01:01:40.896 --> 01:01:42.563 align:center
That doesn't belong to you!

01:01:43.188 --> 01:01:44.480 align:center
I don't need it anyway.

01:01:44.605 --> 01:01:45.855 align:center
When did you get it?

01:01:45.938 --> 01:01:48.105 align:center
Hey, Kalki Amma wants to
know, when did you get it?

01:01:48.188 --> 01:01:49.646 align:center
On the 14th of last month.

01:01:51.313 --> 01:01:52.396 align:center
You made a mistake!

01:01:52.813 --> 01:01:53.896 align:center
You truly did!

01:01:54.105 --> 01:01:55.563 align:center
It was the day of the New Moon!

01:01:56.438 --> 01:01:58.105 align:center
You shouldn't have
even touched it!

01:01:59.063 --> 01:02:01.146 align:center
And you brought it
all the way home?

01:02:01.313 --> 01:02:02.271 align:center
Mother!

01:02:02.355 --> 01:02:04.563 align:center
You should protect
your child, oh mother!

01:02:06.021 --> 01:02:08.480 align:center
Hey! Beat the drums!

01:02:17.438 --> 01:02:18.521 align:center
Kalki Amma!

01:02:18.938 --> 01:02:20.646 align:center
What have you
brought to her sanctum?

01:02:21.313 --> 01:02:22.521 align:center
She's asking me!

01:02:31.730 --> 01:02:33.230 align:center
That didn't please Kalki Amma!

01:02:34.730 --> 01:02:35.730 align:center
Oh no!

01:02:37.480 --> 01:02:38.563 align:center
Beat it!

01:02:38.646 --> 01:02:39.730 align:center
Beat the drums now!

01:02:47.646 --> 01:02:48.646 align:center
Hey!

01:02:56.480 --> 01:02:57.480 align:center
Take this thread...

01:02:58.980 --> 01:03:00.521 align:center
And tie it around
your husband's waist!

01:03:01.146 --> 01:03:02.563 align:center
Once you come to her sanctum,

01:03:02.646 --> 01:03:04.355 align:center
she won't send you
away empty-handed!

01:03:04.771 --> 01:03:06.730 align:center
The troubles in your
family are now resolved!

01:03:06.813 --> 01:03:08.021 align:center
Now, beat the drums!

01:03:11.771 --> 01:03:13.355 align:center
Hey, shall we tie
the thread right now?

01:03:13.438 --> 01:03:15.021 align:center
No, we'll do it once we're home.

01:03:17.230 --> 01:03:20.605 align:center
Divine Words of Kalki Amma.
Words Are Not for Sale.

01:03:22.938 --> 01:03:23.980 align:center
Lift your shirt now!

01:03:28.438 --> 01:03:29.438 align:center
Kalki Amma!

01:03:29.730 --> 01:03:31.105 align:center
All our troubles are over now!

01:03:31.188 --> 01:03:33.146 align:center
Kalki Amma will take care
of everything from now on.

01:03:33.230 --> 01:03:34.230 align:center
Brother!

01:03:35.605 --> 01:03:36.605 align:center
Brother!

01:03:36.980 --> 01:03:38.480 align:center
There's a letter for you, Brother!

01:03:38.980 --> 01:03:40.021 align:center
It needs your signature.

01:03:40.480 --> 01:03:41.480 align:center
Come quickly!

01:03:48.021 --> 01:03:48.980 align:center
What's this?

01:03:49.063 --> 01:03:50.521 align:center
- Here!
- What happened?

01:03:56.146 --> 01:03:57.146 align:center
What does it say?

01:03:57.938 --> 01:03:58.938 align:center
What is it?

01:03:59.896 --> 01:04:01.855 align:center
Huh?
What does it say?

01:04:02.646 --> 01:04:03.980 align:center
Hey, just tell me already!

01:04:04.230 --> 01:04:05.855 align:center
It's from the
Collector's office, Brother!

01:04:06.938 --> 01:04:07.938 align:center
Collector's office?

01:04:09.230 --> 01:04:10.771 align:center
It says what you
found is a treasure.

01:04:12.521 --> 01:04:14.730 align:center
You have to go there in person.

01:04:17.355 --> 01:04:18.480 align:center
This looks serious!

01:04:18.563 --> 01:04:19.563 align:center
Kalki Amma!

01:04:22.605 --> 01:04:24.438 align:center
How could a treasure
be in a well, Thiru?

01:04:24.521 --> 01:04:26.771 align:center
It was in this well that the
old man found a treasure!

01:04:26.855 --> 01:04:28.605 align:center
My friend who works in the
administrative division told me this!

01:04:28.688 --> 01:04:29.896 align:center
What did you find?

01:04:30.355 --> 01:04:31.355 align:center
A pot full of gold!

01:04:31.855 --> 01:04:33.438 align:center
Filled with gold coins!

01:04:33.646 --> 01:04:35.188 align:center
Well, what did you find?

01:04:35.813 --> 01:04:38.146 align:center
I found a... medallion.

01:04:38.480 --> 01:04:39.438 align:center
From the sea.

01:04:39.521 --> 01:04:40.730 align:center
It's about the size of my palm.

01:04:41.105 --> 01:04:42.396 align:center
It had some gems in it too.

01:04:42.730 --> 01:04:45.355 align:center
Oh! Was that treasure
of any use to you?

01:04:45.438 --> 01:04:47.146 align:center
How can you even ask that?

01:04:49.021 --> 01:04:50.646 align:center
From the day it
came into my hands...

01:04:51.105 --> 01:04:52.521 align:center
all my troubles started!

01:04:53.355 --> 01:04:55.855 align:center
He also got a notice
from the Collector's office.

01:04:55.938 --> 01:04:57.063 align:center
Oh! They sent it already?

01:04:57.146 --> 01:04:58.188 align:center
Yes, Grandpa!

01:04:58.271 --> 01:05:00.105 align:center
You still have a lot to face.

01:05:01.396 --> 01:05:02.771 align:center
14 years ago…

01:05:02.896 --> 01:05:04.480 align:center
They sent a notice like that to me...

01:05:04.688 --> 01:05:06.146 align:center
and the case is still going on.

01:05:06.230 --> 01:05:07.855 align:center
Well, what should I do now?

01:05:07.938 --> 01:05:09.105 align:center
You don't need to do anything.

01:05:09.188 --> 01:05:10.855 align:center
They'll take care
of everything for you.

01:05:11.813 --> 01:05:13.563 align:center
Grandpa, where is that pot of gold?

01:05:14.105 --> 01:05:15.105 align:center
In Chennai!

01:05:15.605 --> 01:05:16.730 align:center
In a museum.

01:05:18.230 --> 01:05:19.480 align:center
Once a year…

01:05:19.646 --> 01:05:20.938 align:center
My wife and I go there...

01:05:21.021 --> 01:05:22.021 align:center
and bow before it.

01:05:22.855 --> 01:05:23.980 align:center
Come, let's go!

01:05:24.063 --> 01:05:25.855 align:center
- Okay, we're leaving!
- Bye, Grandpa!

01:05:25.938 --> 01:05:27.396 align:center
Okay! Go! Go!

01:05:30.521 --> 01:05:32.855 align:center
Sir, do you think an internal
enquiry is child's play?

01:05:33.230 --> 01:05:34.438 align:center
I'll lose my job, sir.

01:05:36.730 --> 01:05:38.230 align:center
You've put us in
deep trouble, sir!

01:05:38.480 --> 01:05:40.896 align:center
Hey! Why are you
talking like a saint now?

01:05:41.188 --> 01:05:42.938 align:center
If you'd gotten the cash,
you'd have grabbed it happily, right?

01:05:43.021 --> 01:05:44.021 align:center
Hey!

01:05:44.813 --> 01:05:46.605 align:center
Both of you, lower
your voices, please.

01:05:46.688 --> 01:05:48.771 align:center
- Someone might hear us nearby.
- Sir!

01:05:49.271 --> 01:05:50.730 align:center
This is such a nightmare!

01:05:51.480 --> 01:05:53.021 align:center
My peace is totally ruined, sir!

01:05:53.688 --> 01:05:54.688 align:center
Hey!

01:05:54.938 --> 01:05:57.063 align:center
We need to think about
how to solve this issue.

01:05:57.480 --> 01:05:58.896 align:center
There's no use just blabbering.

01:05:59.021 --> 01:05:59.980 align:center
Sir!

01:06:00.063 --> 01:06:02.813 align:center
I'm worried about that
blabbermouth Kothandam, sir!

01:06:03.521 --> 01:06:05.105 align:center
What if they call him
up to question him?

01:06:05.188 --> 01:06:07.271 align:center
- What? What should we do?
- Sir!

01:06:07.355 --> 01:06:09.688 align:center
We can just dump him somewhere
no one will ever find him, sir!

01:06:09.771 --> 01:06:12.230 align:center
Sir, I also think what
he's saying is right, sir!

01:06:12.313 --> 01:06:13.313 align:center
Yes, sir!

01:06:16.396 --> 01:06:17.396 align:center
Hey!

01:06:17.938 --> 01:06:19.480 align:center
When you throw your leftovers
in the garbage box after eating...

01:06:19.563 --> 01:06:20.521 align:center
See that?

01:06:20.605 --> 01:06:21.980 align:center
Make sure you
toss those away too!

01:06:22.355 --> 01:06:23.813 align:center
We came here for
a case hearing, sir!

01:06:24.730 --> 01:06:25.730 align:center
Just do as I say, okay?

01:06:25.813 --> 01:06:26.980 align:center
We can't do that, sir.

01:06:27.146 --> 01:06:28.646 align:center
We came here for a case hearing.

01:06:29.980 --> 01:06:31.146 align:center
The times are rotten!

01:06:31.230 --> 01:06:33.063 align:center
You people are talking about
rules now, huh?

01:06:37.063 --> 01:06:39.146 align:center
Sir, Thavasi sir! Eat fast.

01:06:39.521 --> 01:06:41.521 align:center
Everyone, eat quickly.
The case will be called soon.

01:06:41.605 --> 01:06:42.605 align:center
Hmm...

01:06:43.230 --> 01:06:44.230 align:center
- Thavasi sir!
- Hmm?

01:06:44.313 --> 01:06:46.563 align:center
Got promoted from the lower court
to the Madurai high court, huh?

01:06:46.646 --> 01:06:48.771 align:center
Thanks to you,
I got to see the high court now!

01:06:50.771 --> 01:06:51.771 align:center
Lemon rice?

01:06:53.146 --> 01:06:55.605 align:center
Delicious! Eat fast,
it'll be called soon.

01:06:55.688 --> 01:06:56.646 align:center
- Come!
- Hmm!

01:06:56.730 --> 01:06:57.896 align:center
- Come on, fast!
- Hmm!

01:06:58.563 --> 01:07:00.105 align:center
- Do you need pickle?
- Eat!

01:07:00.521 --> 01:07:02.521 align:center
"My Lord, this court...

01:07:02.605 --> 01:07:04.771 align:center
has dealt with many strange cases."

01:07:05.896 --> 01:07:07.188 align:center
Those are not my words.

01:07:07.563 --> 01:07:10.688 align:center
They are from the legendary actor Sivaji
Ganesan's dialogue from a Tamil film.

01:07:11.855 --> 01:07:14.355 align:center
This case fits that
dialogue perfectly.

01:07:15.105 --> 01:07:17.896 align:center
This entire issue arose from a total
misunderstanding of the law.

01:07:19.021 --> 01:07:21.563 align:center
The police had already filed a false
case against Thavasi Muthu...

01:07:21.646 --> 01:07:24.063 align:center
and tortured him by throwing him
into a prison cell.

01:07:25.021 --> 01:07:26.021 align:center
And now...

01:07:26.105 --> 01:07:27.563 align:center
they've sent a notice
from the District Collector...

01:07:27.646 --> 01:07:28.855 align:center
and continue to torment him.

01:07:29.771 --> 01:07:31.271 align:center
I have just one point, My Lord!

01:07:32.105 --> 01:07:34.938 align:center
The medallion in question must
be returned to Thavasi Muthu.

01:07:35.355 --> 01:07:37.063 align:center
He is its sole and rightful owner.

01:07:38.063 --> 01:07:39.063 align:center
My Lord!

01:07:40.646 --> 01:07:43.646 align:center
The defence counsel is complicating
this case with movie dialogues.

01:07:44.105 --> 01:07:47.146 align:center
I've also seen that film, Parasakthi.
I'm a Sivaji Ganesan fan too.

01:07:47.480 --> 01:07:48.480 align:center
Oh, you too?

01:07:48.688 --> 01:07:50.146 align:center
Regarding this case...

01:07:50.396 --> 01:07:52.730 align:center
It should be tried strictly
under the Treasure Trove Act.

01:07:52.938 --> 01:07:53.938 align:center
My Lord!

01:07:54.521 --> 01:07:58.605 align:center
The term "My Lord," these black gowns...
the British left all of this behind.

01:07:58.688 --> 01:08:00.688 align:center
Instead of discarding it,
we're still following it, right?

01:08:00.771 --> 01:08:02.063 align:center
Contempt of court, My Lord!

01:08:03.271 --> 01:08:04.271 align:center
Come to the point!

01:08:05.730 --> 01:08:06.563 align:center
My Lord!

01:08:06.646 --> 01:08:11.021 align:center
85% of our Constitution is
influenced by the British Constitution.

01:08:11.230 --> 01:08:13.021 align:center
Yet they themselves
have amended their laws.

01:08:13.521 --> 01:08:14.855 align:center
Even in their Treasure Trove Act...

01:08:14.938 --> 01:08:16.896 align:center
they made amendments twice,

01:08:16.980 --> 01:08:18.480 align:center
stating citizens will receive equal
compensation

01:08:18.563 --> 01:08:20.313 align:center
when they discover a treasure.

01:08:20.480 --> 01:08:21.688 align:center
I'm repeating!

01:08:21.771 --> 01:08:22.771 align:center
Come to the point!

01:08:23.021 --> 01:08:24.021 align:center
Yes, My Lord!

01:08:24.313 --> 01:08:28.313 align:center
As per the Indian Treasure
Trove Act, 1878, Section 3,

01:08:28.438 --> 01:08:30.896 align:center
a treasure is strictly defined
as objects buried in the soil.

01:08:31.646 --> 01:08:34.730 align:center
Then how can a medallion recovered
from the sea be counted as a treasure?

01:08:35.230 --> 01:08:36.313 align:center
Your Lordship!

01:08:37.355 --> 01:08:40.021 align:center
The defence counsel is
trying to mislead this case.

01:08:40.980 --> 01:08:42.563 align:center
A treasure is whatever is buried.

01:08:42.646 --> 01:08:44.230 align:center
Commonly, it's buried in the soil.

01:08:44.313 --> 01:08:46.855 align:center
This time, it's under the sea.
That's the only difference.

01:08:47.355 --> 01:08:48.355 align:center
My Lord!

01:08:49.021 --> 01:08:50.563 align:center
Let the pleader finish his argument.

01:08:50.980 --> 01:08:52.105 align:center
Obliged, My Lord!

01:08:53.063 --> 01:08:54.063 align:center
Now...

01:08:55.646 --> 01:08:57.771 align:center
consider this pen a treasure...

01:08:57.855 --> 01:08:58.855 align:center
Just imagine it so…

01:09:00.188 --> 01:09:02.896 align:center
If it was covered with waste,
would it stop being a treasure? Huh?

01:09:03.730 --> 01:09:04.938 align:center
My Lord, if that's so…

01:09:05.271 --> 01:09:06.730 align:center
At Rameswaram Agni Theertham...

01:09:07.063 --> 01:09:09.271 align:center
treasures like five or ten rupee
coins are found daily.

01:09:10.230 --> 01:09:13.313 align:center
It is within that three-meter zone
that ritual offerings are made.

01:09:13.396 --> 01:09:15.813 align:center
Within that same three-meter area,
devotees throw coins as offerings...

01:09:15.896 --> 01:09:20.438 align:center
and people like Thavasi Muthu
dive into the sea to collect them.

01:09:20.521 --> 01:09:21.480 align:center
So what?

01:09:21.563 --> 01:09:23.105 align:center
Does that mean it's
not from the sea?

01:09:23.605 --> 01:09:24.730 align:center
Yes, My Lord!

01:09:24.813 --> 01:09:26.313 align:center
During low tide in the sea,

01:09:26.396 --> 01:09:27.980 align:center
the three-meter stretch in question...

01:09:28.063 --> 01:09:29.105 align:center
appears as dry land!

01:09:29.396 --> 01:09:30.646 align:center
For example,

01:09:31.563 --> 01:09:34.271 align:center
from May 12 to May 15, 2022,

01:09:34.355 --> 01:09:36.646 align:center
this incident occurred at
Rameswaram Agni Theertham.

01:09:36.896 --> 01:09:38.813 align:center
The sea level had
receded by up to 50 feet.

01:09:39.105 --> 01:09:41.146 align:center
The stretch in question
appeared as land.

01:09:41.855 --> 01:09:43.813 align:center
I am submitting
video evidence of this.

01:09:46.021 --> 01:09:49.771 align:center
With the sea receding by 50 feet
once again in Rameswaram...

01:09:49.855 --> 01:09:53.980 align:center
devotees arriving for New Moon
rituals are unable to take a dip.

01:09:54.063 --> 01:09:56.230 align:center
We have reporter Karthik
with more details.

01:09:56.313 --> 01:09:57.480 align:center
Karthik, tell us more.

01:09:58.021 --> 01:10:00.146 align:center
Since today marks the start of
the auspicious Vaigasi month...

01:10:00.230 --> 01:10:02.563 align:center
along with the Amavasya new moon
and a public holiday...

01:10:02.646 --> 01:10:05.646 align:center
many devotees from North India
and different parts of Tamil Nadu...

01:10:05.730 --> 01:10:07.355 align:center
have been arriving in Rameswaram
since early this morning.

01:10:07.480 --> 01:10:10.188 align:center
He found the medallion in a spot
that isn't clearly land or sea.

01:10:10.563 --> 01:10:12.188 align:center
That's where Thavasi Muthu
discovered it.

01:10:13.480 --> 01:10:14.480 align:center
Alright!

01:10:15.063 --> 01:10:16.146 align:center
When the tsunami hit,

01:10:16.230 --> 01:10:18.438 align:center
the sea receded
by half a kilometre.

01:10:18.688 --> 01:10:20.896 align:center
In some places, it rose and
extended a kilometre inland.

01:10:20.980 --> 01:10:23.021 align:center
So can we say all
that land is actually sea?

01:10:23.396 --> 01:10:24.730 align:center
No matter how you look at it...

01:10:24.855 --> 01:10:26.563 align:center
that medallion belongs
solely to the government.

01:10:26.646 --> 01:10:27.730 align:center
It belongs to the government.

01:10:27.813 --> 01:10:29.438 align:center
This is a clear case of theft.

01:10:30.063 --> 01:10:31.563 align:center
Imagine if the pen
shown by the pleader,

01:10:31.646 --> 01:10:34.563 align:center
was found by Thavasi Muthu
from the sea tomorrow.

01:10:34.646 --> 01:10:35.938 align:center
What would we do then?

01:10:36.438 --> 01:10:38.271 align:center
Should we report that
to the Collector as well?

01:10:38.396 --> 01:10:39.355 align:center
- Sir!
- Hey!

01:10:39.438 --> 01:10:42.730 align:center
From now on, should I hand over the
squid I catch to the government?

01:10:42.938 --> 01:10:45.063 align:center
Sri Lanka is close to our waters.

01:10:45.146 --> 01:10:46.896 align:center
If we catch a shark that
swam over from there...

01:10:46.980 --> 01:10:48.271 align:center
- do I give it to this government...
- Police!

01:10:48.355 --> 01:10:50.438 align:center
- Or to the Sri Lankan government?
- Silence!

01:10:52.105 --> 01:10:53.230 align:center
Apology, My Lord.

01:10:53.313 --> 01:10:54.771 align:center
I will...
I will control him!

01:10:55.063 --> 01:10:56.063 align:center
Leave him.

01:11:02.396 --> 01:11:03.313 align:center
My Lord!

01:11:03.396 --> 01:11:05.646 align:center
You've just witnessed
Thavasi Muthu's intelligence.

01:11:05.771 --> 01:11:07.230 align:center
We cannot take him lightly.

01:11:07.813 --> 01:11:10.021 align:center
What he found wasn't
a pen or a common coin.

01:11:10.271 --> 01:11:11.396 align:center
It's a valuable artifact,

01:11:11.480 --> 01:11:13.521 align:center
and he knew it. That's why
he tried to sell it off.

01:11:13.605 --> 01:11:14.730 align:center
We can't excuse him

01:11:14.813 --> 01:11:17.313 align:center
by claiming ignorance of the law
after violating it, My Lord!

01:11:17.396 --> 01:11:18.355 align:center
My Lord!

01:11:18.438 --> 01:11:20.771 align:center
- How much is human vomit worth?
- What?

01:11:21.438 --> 01:11:22.438 align:center
Nothing at all!

01:11:22.646 --> 01:11:24.271 align:center
You feel disgusted just hearing that.

01:11:24.730 --> 01:11:27.230 align:center
But a whale's vomit
is worth millions!

01:11:28.396 --> 01:11:30.021 align:center
If someone takes possession of it...

01:11:30.105 --> 01:11:31.938 align:center
they can be charged under
anti-smuggling laws.

01:11:32.021 --> 01:11:35.896 align:center
Certain fish parts from the sea
are used for surgical procedures.

01:11:36.188 --> 01:11:37.438 align:center
Their market value is massive.

01:11:38.480 --> 01:11:39.855 align:center
I have just one question, My Lord.

01:11:40.355 --> 01:11:42.480 align:center
How is the value of all these
different things determined?

01:11:42.563 --> 01:11:43.771 align:center
I have no idea, My Lord!

01:11:43.855 --> 01:11:46.896 align:center
Your Lordship, the medallion in
question is ancient. It's an antique.

01:11:46.980 --> 01:11:48.396 align:center
First, we must officially
estimate its value.

01:11:48.480 --> 01:11:49.480 align:center
We need a clear determination.

01:11:50.063 --> 01:11:51.480 align:center
Only then can we decide
whether this case falls under...

01:11:51.563 --> 01:11:53.980 align:center
the Antiquities and
Art Treasures Act,

01:11:54.063 --> 01:11:55.688 align:center
or the Customs Act.

01:11:55.980 --> 01:11:57.021 align:center
Sounds amusing!

01:11:58.355 --> 01:12:00.646 align:center
First, it was the Treasure Trove Act,
now the Antiquities Act...

01:12:00.730 --> 01:12:01.688 align:center
and even the Customs Act.

01:12:01.771 --> 01:12:02.771 align:center
Your Lordship!

01:12:03.146 --> 01:12:05.271 align:center
There was a gold smuggling bust
in the Rameswaram area.

01:12:05.355 --> 01:12:08.438 align:center
The culprits threw that gold
into the sea and fled.

01:12:08.605 --> 01:12:10.646 align:center
That gold was later located
using a scanner.

01:12:10.771 --> 01:12:11.938 align:center
That case is still ongoing.

01:12:12.355 --> 01:12:14.188 align:center
I am submitting the video
evidence of this, My Lord.

01:12:19.480 --> 01:12:22.563 align:center
Revenue Intelligence officers
received a secret tip-off...

01:12:22.646 --> 01:12:26.063 align:center
that three suspects were smuggling
gold bars on a boat.

01:12:26.313 --> 01:12:31.813 align:center
Based on this, officers conducted
an intensive search near the temple.

01:12:31.896 --> 01:12:35.938 align:center
The team detained and questioned
three men acting suspiciously.

01:12:36.063 --> 01:12:37.855 align:center
At that time,
the smuggled gold bars were--

01:12:37.938 --> 01:12:38.980 align:center
- What?
- What's the case?

01:12:40.438 --> 01:12:41.396 align:center
Hey!

01:12:41.480 --> 01:12:42.480 align:center
What's the case, brother?

01:12:42.563 --> 01:12:43.688 align:center
Go ask somewhere else, man!

01:12:43.771 --> 01:12:47.313 align:center
Authorities are continuing an
intensive search for the gold bars.

01:12:48.438 --> 01:12:51.313 align:center
The 50-kilometre coastal zone
falls under customs jurisdiction.

01:12:52.146 --> 01:12:53.646 align:center
So we must consider that point
for this trial.

01:12:54.938 --> 01:12:57.605 align:center
The pleader is trying to
divert this case, My Lord.

01:12:57.896 --> 01:13:00.563 align:center
When a case of this nature
comes to trial for the first time...

01:13:01.605 --> 01:13:04.021 align:center
we have to examine it
from all dimensions.

01:13:04.521 --> 01:13:05.521 align:center
For that...

01:13:05.980 --> 01:13:06.980 align:center
patience is required.

01:13:07.063 --> 01:13:08.563 align:center
My Lord, with that same patience...

01:13:08.646 --> 01:13:12.146 align:center
I request permission to examine other
fishermen like Thavasi Muthu...

01:13:12.230 --> 01:13:13.646 align:center
who work along the
Rameswaram coast.

01:13:13.730 --> 01:13:14.730 align:center
Your Lordship!

01:13:15.521 --> 01:13:17.438 align:center
Practices outside the norm
must not be allowed here.

01:13:17.521 --> 01:13:18.980 align:center
It cannot be permitted.

01:13:19.646 --> 01:13:21.063 align:center
She should be well aware of this.

01:13:21.271 --> 01:13:22.271 align:center
Permission denied.

01:13:22.438 --> 01:13:23.480 align:center
Yes, My Lord.

01:13:23.688 --> 01:13:25.146 align:center
You said this is a
rare case, right?

01:13:25.605 --> 01:13:29.396 align:center
So, I request an advocate commissioner
be appointed for a full inquiry.

01:13:31.563 --> 01:13:33.188 align:center
I am appointing an
advocate commission.

01:13:33.938 --> 01:13:36.855 align:center
Once the commission's report is filed,
we will have the next sitting.

01:13:45.980 --> 01:13:47.230 align:center
Have you no shame?

01:13:48.730 --> 01:13:50.271 align:center
A local paper that prints
barely a thousand copies...

01:13:50.355 --> 01:13:52.105 align:center
running an old printing press
by hand!

01:13:52.521 --> 01:13:53.438 align:center
Look at what they broke!

01:13:53.521 --> 01:13:54.521 align:center
Now that is called a scoop!

01:13:54.605 --> 01:13:56.355 align:center
But you lot never step out
of this AC room!

01:13:56.438 --> 01:13:58.855 align:center
Is all you do telephone journalism?
Now, listen to me carefully!

01:13:59.355 --> 01:14:01.521 align:center
Earn the salaries you are paid,
or else...

01:14:01.605 --> 01:14:03.188 align:center
I will fire every single one of you!

01:14:03.271 --> 01:14:05.021 align:center
I want a massive follow-up
on this story.

01:14:05.105 --> 01:14:06.105 align:center
Today!

01:14:07.021 --> 01:14:08.563 align:center
Meeting at evening 6:00 PM.

01:14:17.563 --> 01:14:18.771 align:center
Hello, Saravanan!

01:14:18.980 --> 01:14:19.980 align:center
How are you doing?

01:14:20.230 --> 01:14:21.188 align:center
Hey, buddy!

01:14:21.271 --> 01:14:23.313 align:center
So, you broke that
story today, right?

01:14:23.688 --> 01:14:25.230 align:center
We want to do a full follow-up.

01:14:26.438 --> 01:14:28.146 align:center
If you have the contacts,
send them over.

01:14:28.355 --> 01:14:29.396 align:center
I'll take it from there.

01:14:29.480 --> 01:14:32.480 align:center
Man, that story
really blew up today!

01:14:33.396 --> 01:14:35.521 align:center
It's trending all
over social media.

01:14:35.605 --> 01:14:36.605 align:center
Hey, listen!

01:14:36.855 --> 01:14:38.271 align:center
They're giving me
a tough time here.

01:14:39.146 --> 01:14:40.230 align:center
I'm losing my mind.

01:14:40.313 --> 01:14:41.521 align:center
Just share the contacts
if you have them.

01:14:41.605 --> 01:14:44.146 align:center
I'll send them, don't worry.
You have my GPay number, right?

01:14:44.396 --> 01:14:45.396 align:center
Send 5,000 rupees to it.

01:14:45.521 --> 01:14:47.230 align:center
Hey! You're charging me for this?

01:14:47.313 --> 01:14:49.271 align:center
Hey, hear me out carefully.

01:14:49.688 --> 01:14:52.855 align:center
Printing our newspaper
costs 25 rupees a copy.

01:14:53.063 --> 01:14:54.771 align:center
But it sells for just six rupees.

01:14:55.146 --> 01:14:58.146 align:center
We have to chase ads to cover
the remaining 19 rupees!

01:14:58.313 --> 01:15:00.188 align:center
And who would advertise
in a paper like ours?

01:15:00.271 --> 01:15:03.980 align:center
How are we supposed to get salaries
or even survive like this?

01:15:04.105 --> 01:15:05.521 align:center
But for you guys, it's easy.

01:15:05.771 --> 01:15:06.771 align:center
Oh man!

01:15:07.021 --> 01:15:08.688 align:center
Just send me your
GPay number already.

01:15:09.021 --> 01:15:12.063 align:center
There's an assistant to the
lawyer named Senthil.

01:15:12.396 --> 01:15:13.771 align:center
A real loose cannon.

01:15:13.896 --> 01:15:14.896 align:center
Handle him carefully.

01:15:15.355 --> 01:15:16.355 align:center
Okay.

01:15:17.563 --> 01:15:18.855 align:center
Look, My Lord...

01:15:19.105 --> 01:15:20.563 align:center
The shore of Agni Theertham

01:15:20.646 --> 01:15:23.771 align:center
is where the souls of the dead
bless the living to thrive.

01:15:24.021 --> 01:15:26.146 align:center
Hey, old man gathering clothes!
Come over here!

01:15:29.521 --> 01:15:30.521 align:center
Hey, come here!

01:15:31.146 --> 01:15:32.146 align:center
We're calling you.

01:15:35.188 --> 01:15:36.771 align:center
What is it?
Why did you call me?

01:15:36.855 --> 01:15:38.688 align:center
We are from the court.
The Advocate Commission!

01:15:38.771 --> 01:15:40.438 align:center
- The court?
- Whose clothes are these?

01:15:40.730 --> 01:15:43.271 align:center
Devotees leave them when they come
to pray to the Lord, sir!

01:15:43.646 --> 01:15:44.605 align:center
What do you do with them?

01:15:44.688 --> 01:15:45.896 align:center
We sort out the good ones...

01:15:46.063 --> 01:15:48.521 align:center
wash and clean them properly,

01:15:48.771 --> 01:15:50.021 align:center
iron them neatly,

01:15:50.355 --> 01:15:51.355 align:center
and keep them folded.

01:15:51.605 --> 01:15:52.896 align:center
When buyers come from Madurai,

01:15:52.980 --> 01:15:53.813 align:center
we sell them off.

01:15:53.896 --> 01:15:56.146 align:center
So in that case, these have no
rightful owners anymore?

01:15:56.230 --> 01:15:57.188 align:center
What?

01:15:57.271 --> 01:15:59.563 align:center
Who said that? This whole patch
is taken on lease, sir!

01:16:00.146 --> 01:16:01.105 align:center
Listen, sir!

01:16:01.188 --> 01:16:03.063 align:center
I've been doing this
job for the last 30 years.

01:16:03.146 --> 01:16:04.688 align:center
What kind of a question
is that, sir?

01:16:05.771 --> 01:16:08.188 align:center
My Lord, to whom do
these clothes belong?

01:16:08.855 --> 01:16:09.855 align:center
Do they belong to the government?

01:16:10.896 --> 01:16:11.896 align:center
This is also a treasure.

01:16:13.063 --> 01:16:16.605 align:center
Treasures they harvest by risking
their lives to earn a living.

01:16:18.313 --> 01:16:20.271 align:center
To bring wealth
and prosperity...

01:16:20.355 --> 01:16:23.771 align:center
right-handed conches are
kept in homes and workplaces.

01:16:24.688 --> 01:16:26.855 align:center
My Lord, you know how
difficult it is to get them?

01:16:30.646 --> 01:16:32.855 align:center
Can you walk continuously
for three hours straight?

01:16:32.938 --> 01:16:34.563 align:center
When we wade into the sea...

01:16:34.646 --> 01:16:37.146 align:center
we spend three hours scouring
the seabed for conch shells.

01:16:37.313 --> 01:16:39.855 align:center
And we are hunting for shells
buried in the sand for two years.

01:16:40.521 --> 01:16:41.688 align:center
We might gather a hundred, sir!

01:16:41.771 --> 01:16:43.646 align:center
But out of those, only five
will be of any real use.

01:16:43.730 --> 01:16:45.396 align:center
The rest are just ground down
for slaked lime.

01:16:46.021 --> 01:16:47.355 align:center
We make maybe a thousand rupees.

01:16:47.688 --> 01:16:50.938 align:center
But hitting a right-handed conch
is like winning the lottery!

01:16:51.188 --> 01:16:52.813 align:center
When that happens, we celebrate
like it's Diwali in our homes!

01:16:55.480 --> 01:16:56.605 align:center
To whom do these conches belong?

01:16:56.688 --> 01:16:59.980 align:center
Before 1964, the government
legally owned them.

01:17:00.063 --> 01:17:01.855 align:center
Now, ownership rests
with the fishermen.

01:17:01.938 --> 01:17:03.105 align:center
How much does a
right-handed conch cost?

01:17:03.188 --> 01:17:07.063 align:center
A right-handed conch can fetch
roughly 15 to 50 lakh rupees.

01:17:07.480 --> 01:17:08.896 align:center
So, all this money
belongs to you?

01:17:08.980 --> 01:17:11.021 align:center
Well, we are the ones who risk
our lives to harvest them!

01:17:13.480 --> 01:17:15.355 align:center
My Lord, this is
undoubtedly a treasure.

01:17:15.980 --> 01:17:18.646 align:center
Be it from land or sea, if anyone
finds a valuable treasure...

01:17:18.730 --> 01:17:20.646 align:center
it must immediately be reported
to the government.

01:17:20.730 --> 01:17:22.771 align:center
Otherwise, anyone could just
pocket the gold they find, right?

01:17:22.855 --> 01:17:23.855 align:center
By mining it!

01:17:24.313 --> 01:17:26.980 align:center
Then we wouldn't need regulations
on mining crude oil either!

01:17:27.230 --> 01:17:28.563 align:center
- It's a treasure.
- My Lord!

01:17:29.021 --> 01:17:32.396 align:center
By that logic, is he implying no one
should dig a well to draw water?

01:17:32.480 --> 01:17:33.480 align:center
My Lord... I

01:17:33.980 --> 01:17:35.813 align:center
- You proceed!
- Much obliged!

01:17:36.396 --> 01:17:39.105 align:center
My Lord, the pleader's
opinion sounds bizarre.

01:17:39.271 --> 01:17:41.980 align:center
It completely goes against the
entire fishing community.

01:17:43.396 --> 01:17:47.813 align:center
The salt we harvest from seawater
under the scorching sun...

01:17:47.896 --> 01:17:49.521 align:center
does that also belong
to the government?

01:17:49.605 --> 01:17:52.646 align:center
Each profession follows its
own customary practices.

01:17:53.563 --> 01:17:55.646 align:center
Now, you may come to the point.

01:17:55.771 --> 01:17:56.688 align:center
Hey!

01:17:56.771 --> 01:17:57.813 align:center
- I told you, right?
- My Lord!

01:17:57.896 --> 01:18:01.230 align:center
This case falls under the Antiquities
and Art Treasures Act, 1972.

01:18:02.563 --> 01:18:03.563 align:center
Furthermore...

01:18:03.646 --> 01:18:05.521 align:center
a direct violation of the
Customs Act is also involved.

01:18:06.396 --> 01:18:09.063 align:center
My Lord, this is both
bizarre and deeply concerning.

01:18:09.605 --> 01:18:10.855 align:center
Just to win this case...

01:18:10.938 --> 01:18:12.771 align:center
will the prosecution
argue just about anything?

01:18:12.855 --> 01:18:15.105 align:center
How can the Antiquities Act
even be applied here?

01:18:15.563 --> 01:18:18.105 align:center
Their only goal is to ensure
my client loses this medallion.

01:18:18.480 --> 01:18:19.563 align:center
That is their sole intent!

01:18:19.646 --> 01:18:22.063 align:center
This artifact has no
known private owner.

01:18:22.146 --> 01:18:23.980 align:center
It is a historical piece
well over a century old.

01:18:24.063 --> 01:18:26.605 align:center
Under the Antiquities
and Art Treasures Act...

01:18:26.688 --> 01:18:28.063 align:center
it belongs to the government.

01:18:28.188 --> 01:18:29.188 align:center
That is the law.

01:18:31.521 --> 01:18:32.521 align:center
That's alright!

01:18:33.313 --> 01:18:34.980 align:center
Has a formal report been issued...

01:18:35.771 --> 01:18:37.230 align:center
verifying the exact age
of this artifact?

01:18:37.313 --> 01:18:40.271 align:center
Your Lordship, it has been sent to
the Central Archaeological Department.

01:18:40.730 --> 01:18:42.271 align:center
We are expecting
the results shortly.

01:18:44.063 --> 01:18:46.271 align:center
A highly complex set of laws
has been brought into this case.

01:18:46.355 --> 01:18:48.896 align:center
We must first decide under which
statute this inquiry will proceed.

01:18:50.021 --> 01:18:50.980 align:center
First,

01:18:51.063 --> 01:18:52.063 align:center
let the report come.

01:18:53.271 --> 01:18:54.271 align:center
Until then...

01:18:55.271 --> 01:18:56.688 align:center
this matter stands adjourned.

01:18:59.396 --> 01:19:04.438 align:center
Out of 112 nations, the true native
fishermen belong to our land!

01:19:04.813 --> 01:19:06.521 align:center
If they all decide
to stand united...

01:19:06.938 --> 01:19:09.480 align:center
no authority on earth
will be able to stop them!

01:19:09.688 --> 01:19:11.313 align:center
- Keep that in mind.
- Do we need another Gandhi?

01:19:11.396 --> 01:19:12.980 align:center
Do we need another Dandi March?

01:19:13.063 --> 01:19:14.605 align:center
Do we need another Gandhi?

01:19:14.688 --> 01:19:16.105 align:center
Do we need another Dandi March?

01:19:16.188 --> 01:19:18.105 align:center
Sir, in Thavasi Muthu's case,

01:19:18.188 --> 01:19:19.688 align:center
it was just the pleader who
made those claims in court, right?

01:19:19.771 --> 01:19:20.730 align:center
That is not the official
government stance, is it?

01:19:20.813 --> 01:19:22.730 align:center
Hey, what does this have
to do with the government?

01:19:22.813 --> 01:19:24.271 align:center
Did the government order
any of that?

01:19:24.355 --> 01:19:25.730 align:center
- Why are you speaking nonsense?
- Hey!

01:19:25.813 --> 01:19:28.146 align:center
- Watch your tongue!
- Just because you wear whites...

01:19:28.521 --> 01:19:30.646 align:center
So the pleader says one thing and
the government means something else?

01:19:30.730 --> 01:19:32.271 align:center
- Sir!
- They are both the same, sir!

01:19:32.355 --> 01:19:34.521 align:center
Madam, please tell this man
to speak with respect first!

01:19:34.605 --> 01:19:36.146 align:center
Sir, calm down!
This is a live broadcast.

01:19:36.230 --> 01:19:37.938 align:center
- The public is watching.
- Madam, why did you seat him here?

01:19:38.021 --> 01:19:39.521 align:center
- Tell him to control himself!
- Hey!

01:19:39.605 --> 01:19:40.438 align:center
Is this how you talk?

01:19:40.521 --> 01:19:42.646 align:center
Sir, please maintain decorum.
Have a seat.

01:19:42.730 --> 01:19:44.855 align:center
What do you mean? He hasn't been
civil from the very start!

01:19:44.938 --> 01:19:47.480 align:center
- Mr. Lingam, this is a news room!
- Who are you to teach me manners?

01:19:47.563 --> 01:19:49.771 align:center
Mr. Lingam, both of you
need to sit down calmly first.

01:19:49.855 --> 01:19:51.105 align:center
- Sit down so we can talk.
- Go get some water.

01:19:51.188 --> 01:19:52.188 align:center
Okay, sir.

01:19:52.313 --> 01:19:53.313 align:center
If the government thinks

01:19:53.688 --> 01:19:55.438 align:center
it can wipe them out...

01:19:55.646 --> 01:19:57.188 align:center
No one can ever do that!

01:19:57.313 --> 01:19:59.980 align:center
If they protest, there's no way
the authorities can handle it!

01:20:00.313 --> 01:20:03.188 align:center
- We will fight! We will fight!
- We will fight until we get justice!

01:20:03.271 --> 01:20:04.938 align:center
We will fight until
we get justice!

01:20:05.021 --> 01:20:07.980 align:center
- Never forget! Never forget!
- Never forget! Never forget!

01:20:08.063 --> 01:20:09.605 align:center
Do not rule by abandoning
your duties!

01:20:09.688 --> 01:20:11.480 align:center
Hey Government!
Tamil Nadu Government!

01:20:11.563 --> 01:20:13.355 align:center
Hey Government!
Tamil Nadu Government!

01:20:13.438 --> 01:20:15.063 align:center
Don't steal the rights
of our fishermen!

01:20:15.146 --> 01:20:16.771 align:center
Don't steal the rights
of our fishermen!

01:20:16.855 --> 01:20:19.396 align:center
Don't ruin fishermen's lives
with cruel laws and schemes!

01:20:19.480 --> 01:20:21.480 align:center
Sir, I'll call you back.

01:20:21.563 --> 01:20:23.188 align:center
What are we supposed to do
with this catch now?

01:20:23.271 --> 01:20:24.896 align:center
Should we just hand it
over to the government?

01:20:24.980 --> 01:20:27.313 align:center
Should we just throw it all away?
What do you expect us to do?

01:20:27.396 --> 01:20:29.230 align:center
You keep making up new laws
every single day!

01:20:29.313 --> 01:20:31.313 align:center
You kick us right in the stomach,
and expect us to sit here quietly?

01:20:31.396 --> 01:20:34.313 align:center
The Thavasi Muthu case
has just taken a major turn!

01:20:34.438 --> 01:20:36.605 align:center
There is widespread outrage
among the public...

01:20:36.688 --> 01:20:38.855 align:center
following the arguments raised
by the State in court.

01:20:38.938 --> 01:20:41.813 align:center
We must wait and see where
this momentum leads next.

01:20:41.896 --> 01:20:44.396 align:center
Reporting for News 7, this is
Ratheesh with cameraman Harshith.

01:20:44.480 --> 01:20:46.230 align:center
Thank you for that report, Ratheesh.

01:20:46.688 --> 01:20:50.313 align:center
The protests have now spread
well beyond Ramanathapuram...

01:20:50.438 --> 01:20:54.980 align:center
reaching Cuddalore, Thoothukudi,
and Kanyakumari.

01:20:55.230 --> 01:20:57.396 align:center
Fishermen and salt-pan workers
across these districts...

01:20:57.480 --> 01:21:00.396 align:center
have aggressively
joined the struggle.

01:21:00.480 --> 01:21:03.146 align:center
- Do we need another Gandhi?
- Do we need another Gandhi?

01:21:03.230 --> 01:21:06.146 align:center
- Do we need another Dandi March?
- Do we need another Dandi March?

01:21:06.230 --> 01:21:07.563 align:center
Do we need another Dandi March?

01:21:07.646 --> 01:21:10.438 align:center
Evaporating this salt water
is how we survive.

01:21:10.730 --> 01:21:12.438 align:center
And now you are trying
to take that away from us.

01:21:12.521 --> 01:21:14.105 align:center
If you keep destroying our lives...

01:21:14.188 --> 01:21:17.313 align:center
I will be forced to take my own
life right here, sir!

01:21:17.605 --> 01:21:19.813 align:center
Please understand the
seriousness of the situation.

01:21:19.896 --> 01:21:21.230 align:center
- Get on it fast.
- Sir! Sir!

01:21:21.313 --> 01:21:22.563 align:center
Sir, it is urgent!

01:21:22.646 --> 01:21:24.771 align:center
The Chief Secretary is on the line.
He's connected!

01:21:25.813 --> 01:21:27.855 align:center
- Sir!
- What's the position, Parthiban?

01:21:27.938 --> 01:21:30.896 align:center
Sir, I'm expecting a message from the
Central Archaeological Department shortly!

01:21:30.980 --> 01:21:32.271 align:center
Follow up on it immediately!

01:21:32.355 --> 01:21:33.438 align:center
Sure sir, sure.

01:21:33.521 --> 01:21:36.480 align:center
Protests are raging right outside
your office gates! Have you seen?

01:21:38.688 --> 01:21:41.313 align:center
- Yes, sir. Yes!
- There's unrest across the state.

01:21:41.813 --> 01:21:43.605 align:center
Report to the
office immediately!

01:21:43.771 --> 01:21:44.813 align:center
Sure sir!

01:21:45.813 --> 01:21:47.480 align:center
Don't steal the rights
of our fishermen!

01:21:47.563 --> 01:21:51.271 align:center
Don't steal the rights of our fishermen!

01:21:51.355 --> 01:21:55.230 align:center
We shall fight! We shall fight!
We shall fight until we get justice!

01:22:15.146 --> 01:22:16.146 align:center
Hey!

01:22:18.271 --> 01:22:21.563 align:center
In the Thavasi Muthu case, an
important turning point has occurred.

01:22:21.646 --> 01:22:22.896 align:center
- Sir!
- Thavasi Muthu...

01:22:22.980 --> 01:22:25.105 align:center
The medallion that
was in his possession,

01:22:25.521 --> 01:22:29.188 align:center
has been confirmed to be 100 years old.

01:22:29.563 --> 01:22:33.230 align:center
The statement from the Central Archaeology
Department has also been released.

01:22:33.313 --> 01:22:35.980 align:center
As the medallion is 100 years old,

01:22:36.063 --> 01:22:39.188 align:center
this is now considered
a case of theft.

01:22:39.271 --> 01:22:41.563 align:center
According to the Indian
Treasure Trove Act,

01:22:41.896 --> 01:22:45.605 align:center
this can be treated as
a punishable offence.

01:22:45.688 --> 01:22:47.521 align:center
This has triggered a
major public uproar.

01:22:47.605 --> 01:22:49.438 align:center
Should the government
just sit idle and watch?

01:22:49.646 --> 01:22:52.021 align:center
Thavasi Muthu has
committed a punishable crime!

01:22:52.105 --> 01:22:53.355 align:center
What is it, SP sir?

01:22:53.730 --> 01:22:55.771 align:center
Looks like the wind
is blowing in our favour?

01:22:56.855 --> 01:22:57.855 align:center
I'm watching it all!

01:22:58.313 --> 01:22:59.980 align:center
- Yeah!
- This time...

01:23:00.813 --> 01:23:02.563 align:center
He won't get away for sure.

01:23:05.313 --> 01:23:06.688 align:center
The theft case will hold.

01:23:07.438 --> 01:23:08.438 align:center
We should lock him up.

01:23:08.730 --> 01:23:09.563 align:center
Right?

01:23:09.646 --> 01:23:11.938 align:center
Everything will happen
automatically now.

01:23:12.021 --> 01:23:13.021 align:center
Got it?

01:23:14.855 --> 01:23:18.230 align:center
Now, we need to figure out
what to do with Kanchana.

01:23:18.313 --> 01:23:19.313 align:center
Got it?

01:23:29.896 --> 01:23:30.938 align:center
Hello?

01:23:31.771 --> 01:23:33.188 align:center
Hello, madam?

01:23:35.021 --> 01:23:36.021 align:center
Hello?

01:23:36.938 --> 01:23:39.063 align:center
I don't even know
what to say, Megala!

01:23:40.980 --> 01:23:42.438 align:center
I don't understand, madam.

01:23:43.438 --> 01:23:45.021 align:center
There's nothing I
can do any more.

01:23:46.021 --> 01:23:47.355 align:center
The case will be turned
into a theft case again!

01:23:47.438 --> 01:23:49.021 align:center
- Megala?
- What, madam? Theft?

01:23:49.105 --> 01:23:50.146 align:center
Hey,

01:23:50.521 --> 01:23:51.605 align:center
what's going on?

01:23:52.813 --> 01:23:53.855 align:center
Huh?

01:23:54.521 --> 01:23:55.730 align:center
What's the matter?
Huh?

01:23:59.730 --> 01:24:00.730 align:center
I...

01:24:02.105 --> 01:24:03.438 align:center
I'm... sorry!

01:24:03.813 --> 01:24:05.063 align:center
I'm really sorry!

01:24:10.396 --> 01:24:11.646 align:center
Don't cry!

01:24:11.730 --> 01:24:13.105 align:center
Don't cry, dear.

01:24:24.521 --> 01:24:26.896 align:center
Megala, what did madam say?
Tell me!

01:24:27.521 --> 01:24:28.730 align:center
- What is it?
- Hey!

01:24:32.896 --> 01:24:34.896 align:center
Is everything that's
coming on TV true, then?

01:24:35.105 --> 01:24:38.188 align:center
What else did she say?
What's the problem? Tell me now!

01:24:46.771 --> 01:24:47.771 align:center
Palamma!

01:24:47.855 --> 01:24:50.521 align:center
Don't be scared.
We're all here with you.

01:24:50.605 --> 01:24:52.563 align:center
I... I won't go to jail!

01:24:53.771 --> 01:24:55.480 align:center
I'm scared!

01:24:55.980 --> 01:24:58.021 align:center
I'm scared!
Don't let them take me!

01:24:58.105 --> 01:24:59.813 align:center
It hurts to see
you like this, Brother.

01:24:59.896 --> 01:25:02.146 align:center
- I won't go to jail!
- No, you're not. Come out now!

01:25:03.396 --> 01:25:04.730 align:center
Don't let them take me!

01:25:08.771 --> 01:25:10.313 align:center
I'm scared to go to that hell!

01:25:10.438 --> 01:25:11.646 align:center
I'd rather die here!

01:25:12.313 --> 01:25:14.563 align:center
Don't let them take me!
Please, don't let them take me!

01:25:15.021 --> 01:25:18.146 align:center
Hey Bharathi!
Bharathi, come here!

01:25:18.230 --> 01:25:19.396 align:center
Come, son!

01:25:19.521 --> 01:25:20.896 align:center
Come!
Oh no!

01:25:21.521 --> 01:25:22.646 align:center
Come here, son!

01:25:22.730 --> 01:25:24.021 align:center
Come!

01:25:24.105 --> 01:25:25.605 align:center
Don't leave me, okay?

01:25:26.021 --> 01:25:27.980 align:center
I won't go anywhere
by leaving you here!

01:25:28.063 --> 01:25:29.646 align:center
I won't go anywhere!

01:25:30.146 --> 01:25:32.813 align:center
I won't go anywhere
by leaving you here!

01:25:33.230 --> 01:25:34.188 align:center
Don't let them take me!

01:25:34.271 --> 01:25:36.396 align:center
Oh Muruga, please
don't let them take me!

01:25:37.313 --> 01:25:38.646 align:center
Don't let them take me!

01:25:38.730 --> 01:25:41.605 align:center
Oh no! My dear!
Don't let them take me!

01:25:46.313 --> 01:25:49.188 align:center
I'm scared, dear!
I'm so scared!

01:25:53.855 --> 01:25:58.105 align:center
Muruga, my Lord! What sin
did we commit to deserve this?

01:26:01.730 --> 01:26:03.396 align:center
Oh no!

01:26:11.980 --> 01:26:14.188 align:center
Hey, something has
happened in Thavasi's house!

01:26:14.396 --> 01:26:15.980 align:center
- Come quickly!
- What happened?

01:26:16.063 --> 01:26:17.730 align:center
- Come quickly!
- Come on!

01:26:24.855 --> 01:26:26.021 align:center
What happened?

01:26:26.146 --> 01:26:27.771 align:center
In Thavasi's house...
Just come quickly.

01:26:27.855 --> 01:26:28.855 align:center
Hey, call them!

01:26:59.938 --> 01:27:01.188 align:center
We don't know anything.

01:27:01.271 --> 01:27:02.521 align:center
Why are you doing this?

01:27:02.605 --> 01:27:04.355 align:center
Leave us alone.

01:27:07.313 --> 01:27:08.521 align:center
Please listen to me, sir!

01:27:08.980 --> 01:27:10.105 align:center
I don't know anything!

01:27:18.271 --> 01:27:20.355 align:center
Villagers have gathered around the house.

01:27:20.438 --> 01:27:22.646 align:center
Thavasi Muthu is inside with his family.

01:27:22.730 --> 01:27:24.813 align:center
Exclusive visuals are
being shown for you now.

01:27:24.896 --> 01:27:27.813 align:center
Thavasi Muthu is visibly distressed
and fearful in front of the media.

01:27:35.896 --> 01:27:38.480 align:center
Like that, like that.
Get down, get down.

01:27:38.563 --> 01:27:40.146 align:center
Oh no, they've
come here too. Move!

01:27:40.230 --> 01:27:41.771 align:center
Listen to me!
Come here.

01:27:41.855 --> 01:27:42.938 align:center
Don't show your face, okay?

01:27:43.063 --> 01:27:44.980 align:center
- They'll show it and disgrace us.
- He is a thief!

01:27:45.063 --> 01:27:46.980 align:center
And his sister is nothing
but a shameless slut!

01:27:47.063 --> 01:27:49.271 align:center
Hey, you drunken dog!

01:27:49.355 --> 01:27:51.230 align:center
Who do you think you are
to talk like that here?

01:27:51.313 --> 01:27:53.063 align:center
He is just spouting nonsense
because he is wasted...

01:27:53.146 --> 01:27:54.271 align:center
and you are all just standing
there? Thrash him!

01:28:25.313 --> 01:28:27.688 align:center
Hey, you're saying your
father isn't a thief, right?

01:28:27.771 --> 01:28:28.813 align:center
If he has done it,

01:28:28.896 --> 01:28:30.313 align:center
would you jump off that rock?

01:28:32.605 --> 01:28:34.188 align:center
- I will!
- Get lost!

01:28:34.313 --> 01:28:35.730 align:center
Is dad a thief?

01:28:35.896 --> 01:28:36.896 align:center
No, dear!

01:28:37.188 --> 01:28:38.480 align:center
Our dad isn't a thief!

01:29:31.813 --> 01:29:33.396 align:center
My son, Madam!

01:29:33.480 --> 01:29:35.730 align:center
My son!

01:29:42.896 --> 01:29:45.230 align:center
What wrong have I done, madam?

01:29:46.188 --> 01:29:50.396 align:center
My boy did this only because they
branded me a man without dignity!

01:29:52.355 --> 01:29:56.396 align:center
Is my very birth a curse?!

01:29:59.230 --> 01:30:02.438 align:center
Oh god... my little boy
is lying there, dying!

01:30:04.938 --> 01:30:07.396 align:center
What is the price of my dignity?

01:30:07.855 --> 01:30:09.105 align:center
Tell me, please!

01:30:09.730 --> 01:30:12.271 align:center
Tell me, madam, what is
the price of my dignity?!

01:30:15.730 --> 01:30:17.063 align:center
Madam!

01:31:10.605 --> 01:31:11.646 align:center
Oh sorry!

01:31:11.730 --> 01:31:13.063 align:center
- Hey Anju, what's up?
- Sorry ma'am!

01:31:13.146 --> 01:31:15.688 align:center
- What happened?
- Sorry, ma'am! I slipped.

01:31:16.105 --> 01:31:18.688 align:center
Hey ma'am, Raj's father is here.

01:31:18.771 --> 01:31:20.146 align:center
He's waiting for me.

01:31:20.230 --> 01:31:21.271 align:center
If it's okay with you,

01:31:21.355 --> 01:31:23.771 align:center
can I just go to the
caravan and come back?

01:31:23.855 --> 01:31:25.563 align:center
No issues, ma'am.
Take your own time!

01:31:26.021 --> 01:31:27.355 align:center
- Please come, ma'am.
- Tarun!

01:31:27.438 --> 01:31:28.646 align:center
Check the continuity!

01:31:29.021 --> 01:31:30.313 align:center
- Come, ma'am!
- Ma'am, one selfie?

01:31:30.396 --> 01:31:31.396 align:center
Yeah!

01:31:34.980 --> 01:31:36.105 align:center
- Okay?
- Thank you ma'am!

01:31:36.188 --> 01:31:37.855 align:center
Let's go, Ma'am.
This way.

01:31:40.980 --> 01:31:44.105 align:center
At such a young age, Thavasi
Muthu's son has taken a decision that--

01:31:44.188 --> 01:31:45.313 align:center
Sorry, uncle!

01:31:45.396 --> 01:31:46.355 align:center
Yeah! Come, dear!

01:31:46.438 --> 01:31:48.938 align:center
I was waiting to finish that shot.

01:31:49.105 --> 01:31:50.605 align:center
Okay! Sit down, dear.

01:31:51.521 --> 01:31:52.480 align:center
No problem!

01:31:54.438 --> 01:31:55.688 align:center
Here, have a look at it!

01:31:57.438 --> 01:31:59.730 align:center
Thavasi's family is also part of society,

01:31:59.813 --> 01:32:01.230 align:center
so society has a
duty to answer them.

01:32:01.313 --> 01:32:03.230 align:center
I have already seen this, uncle.

01:32:06.646 --> 01:32:08.813 align:center
Shouldn't we do
something now, at least?

01:32:09.230 --> 01:32:11.063 align:center
I was thinking about it, uncle!

01:32:12.938 --> 01:32:14.188 align:center
But, I have no idea about...

01:32:14.855 --> 01:32:16.355 align:center
what can be done.

01:32:16.521 --> 01:32:17.521 align:center
Look, dear!

01:32:18.105 --> 01:32:19.563 align:center
If we don't do anything,

01:32:19.646 --> 01:32:21.146 align:center
it won't just be a betrayal to us,

01:32:22.646 --> 01:32:24.980 align:center
it will be a betrayal
towards Raj too.

01:32:30.230 --> 01:32:32.355 align:center
I'm not saying this
to make you feel sad.

01:32:33.438 --> 01:32:34.730 align:center
I'm just saying what
I feel in my heart.

01:32:34.813 --> 01:32:35.813 align:center
That's it.

01:32:37.313 --> 01:32:38.355 align:center
Tell me, dear.

01:32:38.896 --> 01:32:39.896 align:center
What do we do now?

01:32:42.438 --> 01:32:44.188 align:center
- Let's decide.
- Good, my dear!

01:32:48.813 --> 01:32:51.396 align:center
Thavasi Muthu asked me
a question at the hospital.

01:32:52.355 --> 01:32:53.355 align:center
Isn't it true?

01:32:54.605 --> 01:32:55.563 align:center
Here...

01:32:55.646 --> 01:32:57.480 align:center
What is the price
of a poor man's dignity?

01:32:59.855 --> 01:33:02.771 align:center
To me, that is the most important
question in the entire world.

01:33:04.021 --> 01:33:05.521 align:center
It demands an answer, Kanchana!

01:33:07.521 --> 01:33:11.105 align:center
I have arranged the best medical
facilities for Thavasi's son.

01:33:11.605 --> 01:33:12.605 align:center
What more shall I do?

01:33:17.105 --> 01:33:18.646 align:center
Greetings to everyone!

01:33:19.563 --> 01:33:22.855 align:center
I have called this press conference
to address a very important issue.

01:33:23.521 --> 01:33:25.230 align:center
Ma'am, the issue is
happening in Tamil Nadu.

01:33:25.313 --> 01:33:27.105 align:center
So, better to talk in...

01:33:27.188 --> 01:33:28.271 align:center
- Tamil?
- Hmm... okay!

01:33:29.521 --> 01:33:30.563 align:center
All of you...

01:33:31.063 --> 01:33:34.396 align:center
The man you loved with all your
hearts, your superstar Raj Kiran...

01:33:35.688 --> 01:33:36.688 align:center
my very own Raj...

01:33:38.230 --> 01:33:39.355 align:center
It has been three months...

01:33:39.896 --> 01:33:41.146 align:center
since he suddenly left us all.

01:33:42.938 --> 01:33:43.938 align:center
For seven long years...

01:33:44.188 --> 01:33:46.271 align:center
we loved each other deeply.

01:33:47.480 --> 01:33:48.480 align:center
But...

01:33:49.021 --> 01:33:50.396 align:center
in just three months...

01:33:50.605 --> 01:33:53.188 align:center
The wife of the late
Telugu superstar Raj Kiran,

01:33:53.521 --> 01:33:56.563 align:center
and prominent actress Vaishnavi
is meeting the press now.

01:33:56.980 --> 01:33:59.688 align:center
Furthermore, it is reported
that she will speak...

01:33:59.771 --> 01:34:01.355 align:center
on the ongoing crisis
in Tamil Nadu.

01:34:01.438 --> 01:34:03.813 align:center
It has caused quite a stir now.

01:34:03.896 --> 01:34:05.896 align:center
Let us cut across to the live
broadcast right now.

01:34:06.146 --> 01:34:07.730 align:center
Speaking from my own experience,

01:34:07.813 --> 01:34:10.480 align:center
if an entire nation has ever wept
for a single person...

01:34:10.605 --> 01:34:12.938 align:center
it was for our beloved
superstar, Raj Kiran.

01:34:13.730 --> 01:34:14.730 align:center
Thank you!

01:34:16.271 --> 01:34:17.896 align:center
When millions of his fans...

01:34:18.688 --> 01:34:20.938 align:center
mourned the loss of
their superstar...

01:34:21.896 --> 01:34:23.230 align:center
I lost my entire world.

01:34:23.855 --> 01:34:26.230 align:center
There is a reason why I am
sharing all this with you now.

01:35:12.896 --> 01:35:14.563 align:center
I don't know exactly how old this is.

01:35:15.355 --> 01:35:16.355 align:center
But...

01:35:16.438 --> 01:35:18.355 align:center
it has always been passed
down to the queens...

01:35:19.063 --> 01:35:21.146 align:center
who enter this family
after marriage.

01:35:22.146 --> 01:35:23.605 align:center
Now, you are the queen
of this house.

01:35:24.896 --> 01:35:26.188 align:center
Will you take good care of it?

01:35:26.688 --> 01:35:27.688 align:center
Hmm.

01:35:27.896 --> 01:35:29.230 align:center
And take good care of me, too.

01:35:37.855 --> 01:35:39.938 align:center
That gift, given to me
with so much love by Raj...

01:35:40.355 --> 01:35:41.646 align:center
that very gift...

01:35:42.271 --> 01:35:44.355 align:center
made his memories feel
even more painful inside me.

01:35:46.396 --> 01:35:47.855 align:center
So, I tried to destroy it.

01:35:48.855 --> 01:35:49.855 align:center
Not for my sake...

01:35:51.521 --> 01:35:52.771 align:center
but for our baby...

01:35:53.813 --> 01:35:54.813 align:center
growing inside my womb.

01:35:54.938 --> 01:35:57.938 align:center
A married woman talking pregnancy
is nothing new, folks!

01:35:58.021 --> 01:36:00.563 align:center
But what is the real truth behind
that pendant she mentioned?

01:36:00.646 --> 01:36:03.688 align:center
We will find out. But first, here is
a classic by Raja Sir for you!

01:36:03.771 --> 01:36:05.355 align:center
Rameshwaram has a speciality.

01:36:06.438 --> 01:36:08.271 align:center
I hope you all know about it.

01:36:08.855 --> 01:36:09.813 align:center
Generally,

01:36:09.896 --> 01:36:12.105 align:center
if we want to let
go of something,

01:36:12.313 --> 01:36:15.896 align:center
it is a custom to cast it away
at Rameswaram's Agni Theertham.

01:36:16.896 --> 01:36:18.105 align:center
That is our sacred belief.

01:36:19.355 --> 01:36:21.938 align:center
Just like freeing the soul
of the deceased there...

01:36:22.771 --> 01:36:25.271 align:center
when Raj's ashes
were immersed...

01:36:25.771 --> 01:36:28.230 align:center
the very gift that
reminded me of him...

01:36:28.563 --> 01:36:30.730 align:center
I released it too,
into Agni Theertham.

01:36:39.813 --> 01:36:40.855 align:center
Now,

01:36:41.188 --> 01:36:42.980 align:center
just because he found it
in the deep sea...

01:36:43.063 --> 01:36:44.355 align:center
a poor fisherman is being...

01:36:44.980 --> 01:36:45.980 align:center
Ma'am?

01:36:46.146 --> 01:36:47.188 align:center
Thavasi Muthu!

01:36:47.938 --> 01:36:49.605 align:center
Yes! Thavasi Muthu!

01:36:51.813 --> 01:36:54.521 align:center
They have branded that fisherman,
Thavasi Muthu, as a thief.

01:36:56.688 --> 01:36:58.021 align:center
Thavasi Muthu is not a thief.

01:37:07.146 --> 01:37:08.063 align:center
My Lord!

01:37:08.146 --> 01:37:10.605 align:center
Thavasi Muthu's tarnished dignity
must be restored.

01:37:14.688 --> 01:37:16.230 align:center
What value does his dignity hold?

01:37:16.313 --> 01:37:18.313 align:center
"What value does his dignity hold?"
Superb!

01:37:18.480 --> 01:37:20.813 align:center
We do not seek a single rupee
in financial compensation.

01:37:20.896 --> 01:37:21.813 align:center
But...

01:37:21.896 --> 01:37:24.271 align:center
Thavasi Muthu's tarnished dignity
must be fully restored!

01:37:24.355 --> 01:37:26.605 align:center
A practising lawyer
should argue practically.

01:37:27.105 --> 01:37:30.646 align:center
I will penalise you and dismiss
this as a publicity stunt.

01:37:30.771 --> 01:37:32.396 align:center
Kindly dismiss this, My Lord.

01:37:32.688 --> 01:37:34.146 align:center
Is dignity something you
can just buy in the market?

01:37:34.230 --> 01:37:36.480 align:center
Dignity and respect are not
for sale in any market, My Lord.

01:37:36.563 --> 01:37:38.938 align:center
And you are right. This case
is indeed about publicity...

01:37:39.271 --> 01:37:40.271 align:center
but not for my sake.

01:37:40.646 --> 01:37:41.896 align:center
It is a fight against the toxic
publicity stunt...

01:37:41.980 --> 01:37:44.771 align:center
that branded Thavasi Muthu a thief
and publicly humiliated him!

01:37:45.896 --> 01:37:48.063 align:center
Who has done anything against
Thavasi Muthu here?

01:37:48.146 --> 01:37:49.980 align:center
I fail to see the need
for this entire argument.

01:37:50.063 --> 01:37:51.063 align:center
The state!

01:37:51.605 --> 01:37:53.896 align:center
The State bears
full responsibility for this, My Lord.

01:37:54.730 --> 01:37:57.521 align:center
And it is up to this very State
to prove otherwise now!

01:37:57.646 --> 01:37:58.688 align:center
That's my point.

01:37:59.355 --> 01:38:02.146 align:center
No, no! No, My Lord!
No, no! Not at all!

01:38:03.105 --> 01:38:05.521 align:center
The entire state machinery will
collapse if this is permitted.

01:38:06.355 --> 01:38:08.855 align:center
This sets a dangerous precedent.
I am cautioning this court!

01:38:08.980 --> 01:38:09.980 align:center
My Lord!

01:38:10.146 --> 01:38:13.521 align:center
To catch an accused, the government
runs ads all over the state,

01:38:13.605 --> 01:38:15.605 align:center
printing lookout notices
to track them down.

01:38:15.688 --> 01:38:17.230 align:center
If that same accused
is proven innocent,

01:38:17.313 --> 01:38:19.771 align:center
it is the state's responsibility
to prove that too!

01:38:19.855 --> 01:38:21.605 align:center
Absurd!
Absolutely absurd, My Lord!

01:38:22.021 --> 01:38:24.105 align:center
She is talking in fiction.
It does not match reality!

01:38:24.188 --> 01:38:26.605 align:center
Let it be a fiction,
as the pleader claims.

01:38:27.313 --> 01:38:28.646 align:center
But what exactly is your demand?

01:38:28.730 --> 01:38:29.730 align:center
My Lord!

01:38:29.813 --> 01:38:32.646 align:center
It must be published on the front
page of every major newspaper...

01:38:32.730 --> 01:38:35.230 align:center
that Thavasi Muthu is innocent,
accompanied by a colour photo!

01:38:37.063 --> 01:38:39.313 align:center
It must be broadcast
on every single TV channel.

01:38:40.521 --> 01:38:42.813 align:center
Public posters must be put up
across all of Tamil Nadu.

01:38:43.771 --> 01:38:45.063 align:center
The government must ensure this.

01:38:46.480 --> 01:38:47.646 align:center
I'm repeating, My Lord!

01:38:48.021 --> 01:38:49.396 align:center
The government
doesn't need to pay

01:38:49.480 --> 01:38:51.396 align:center
a single rupee to Thavasi Muthu
in defamation damages.

01:38:57.813 --> 01:38:58.813 align:center
My Lord!

01:38:58.938 --> 01:39:02.105 align:center
There is no precedent for such a case
in the history of our judiciary.

01:39:02.396 --> 01:39:04.730 align:center
Since the original owner of
the medallion has come forward,

01:39:04.813 --> 01:39:07.646 align:center
the theft case can be
dismissed. No problem.

01:39:07.730 --> 01:39:10.355 align:center
But the court's valuable time
should not be squandered

01:39:10.438 --> 01:39:12.480 align:center
by bringing in such an absurd case.

01:39:12.563 --> 01:39:14.271 align:center
It cannot be permitted.
It's a waste of time.

01:39:14.355 --> 01:39:15.313 align:center
My Lord!

01:39:15.396 --> 01:39:16.855 align:center
When an innocent man
is finally given justice...

01:39:16.938 --> 01:39:19.188 align:center
that becomes the judiciary's
most golden moment.

01:39:20.980 --> 01:39:23.438 align:center
Thavasi Muthu, who is being
crushed by the weight of the State,

01:39:23.521 --> 01:39:24.771 align:center
deserves justice, My Lord.

01:39:26.396 --> 01:39:27.771 align:center
What value does his dignity hold?

01:39:28.688 --> 01:39:29.688 align:center
Your Lordship!

01:39:30.230 --> 01:39:32.688 align:center
When and where exactly did
Thavasi Muthu lose his dignity?

01:39:32.771 --> 01:39:35.438 align:center
No official has acted beyond
standard procedures here.

01:39:35.896 --> 01:39:38.563 align:center
There is absolutely no precedent
for a defamation case like this!

01:39:38.938 --> 01:39:41.688 align:center
Denying justice just because
there's no precedent, is injustice.

01:39:43.938 --> 01:39:46.855 align:center
This is how precedents are created.
And that is how laws are made!

01:39:46.938 --> 01:39:47.855 align:center
My Lord!

01:39:47.938 --> 01:39:52.438 align:center
In 1862, when the first defamation
case was tried in the Supreme Court...

01:39:52.521 --> 01:39:53.980 align:center
there was no precedent then either.

01:39:54.730 --> 01:39:56.188 align:center
Let this be a new beginning too.

01:39:56.271 --> 01:39:58.813 align:center
Absolutely not, My Lord!
No way!

01:39:58.896 --> 01:40:01.313 align:center
No government can ever function
if such demands are permitted.

01:40:01.771 --> 01:40:03.771 align:center
The government machinery
will lose its confidence.

01:40:03.855 --> 01:40:05.271 align:center
I'm requesting, My Lord!

01:40:05.355 --> 01:40:06.896 align:center
Please dismiss this case.

01:40:06.980 --> 01:40:07.938 align:center
My Lord!

01:40:08.021 --> 01:40:10.605 align:center
This is a land where dignity
is valued far more than life itself!

01:40:10.896 --> 01:40:14.063 align:center
Thavasi Muthu's son, who loved his father
above all else, is now in hospital...

01:40:14.813 --> 01:40:15.980 align:center
fighting for his very life.

01:40:16.438 --> 01:40:18.146 align:center
Who will answer for his pain?

01:40:26.646 --> 01:40:28.188 align:center
It's a rare and...

01:40:28.271 --> 01:40:29.813 align:center
rarest case.

01:40:30.980 --> 01:40:34.271 align:center
Since this lawsuit questions the very
functions of the government...

01:40:34.646 --> 01:40:36.521 align:center
it must be treated with the
utmost seriousness.

01:40:36.605 --> 01:40:37.605 align:center
Otherwise,

01:40:37.688 --> 01:40:39.521 align:center
it could lead to grave misuse.

01:40:40.396 --> 01:40:45.146 align:center
Considering the gravity of this case,
which challenges the entire system,

01:40:45.396 --> 01:40:48.188 align:center
this court is referring the case
to a three-judge bench.

01:40:49.688 --> 01:40:51.938 align:center
Next hearing, April 15th.

01:40:52.771 --> 01:40:54.980 align:center
- Brother, they've asked to pay 20,000 now.
- Okay.

01:40:55.063 --> 01:40:58.146 align:center
They've asked to pay the remaining
20,000 rupees during discharge.

01:40:58.271 --> 01:40:59.605 align:center
I don't know why
this 200 rupees--

01:41:05.438 --> 01:41:07.688 align:center
Thavasi sir, what are
you going to do now?

01:41:07.771 --> 01:41:09.855 align:center
- Give us a reply.
- Are you going to reply or not?

01:41:10.813 --> 01:41:12.063 align:center
Hey! Everybody calm down!

01:41:12.146 --> 01:41:13.605 align:center
Please, one person at a time.

01:41:14.688 --> 01:41:16.063 align:center
Strong fight for justice,

01:41:16.146 --> 01:41:18.230 align:center
and the verdict will be
received in the next week.

01:41:18.313 --> 01:41:20.063 align:center
And the government
is also against you.

01:41:20.146 --> 01:41:22.230 align:center
Do you still believe
justice will help?

01:41:22.896 --> 01:41:25.438 align:center
Brother, they are asking whether
we will get justice in court.

01:41:27.021 --> 01:41:29.230 align:center
I am not fighting
against anyone.

01:41:29.771 --> 01:41:33.355 align:center
My family's dignity was ruined
for a crime I did not commit.

01:41:33.730 --> 01:41:35.896 align:center
Whose mistake was that, sir?

01:41:36.230 --> 01:41:38.563 align:center
I am only asking for my dignity.
That's all.

01:41:39.146 --> 01:41:40.980 align:center
Even my own son did not trust me.

01:41:41.605 --> 01:41:42.896 align:center
When he finally opens his eyes

01:41:43.021 --> 01:41:45.021 align:center
and comes out of this hospital,

01:41:45.313 --> 01:41:47.438 align:center
I want to stand before him
with my head held high.

01:41:47.688 --> 01:41:49.105 align:center
There is a value

01:41:49.271 --> 01:41:50.688 align:center
for my dignity as well, sir!

01:41:51.771 --> 01:41:52.771 align:center
And that value...

01:41:52.938 --> 01:41:54.855 align:center
is battling for his life inside.

01:41:57.813 --> 01:41:58.813 align:center
Thavasi sir...

01:41:58.980 --> 01:42:00.355 align:center
How can you just leave
without giving a reply?

01:42:00.438 --> 01:42:02.271 align:center
Are you being backed by
any political party?

01:42:02.355 --> 01:42:04.896 align:center
You are creating so much trouble
for the government, aren't you?

01:42:04.980 --> 01:42:06.855 align:center
Even the opposition doesn't
cause this much of a headache!

01:42:06.938 --> 01:42:07.980 align:center
That's why I asked.

01:42:12.521 --> 01:42:15.230 align:center
Thavasi sir, you must
give a reply for this, sir!

01:42:15.313 --> 01:42:16.313 align:center
Remember it!

01:42:24.271 --> 01:42:27.105 align:center
To heal the pain a person
feels when their dignity is hurt...

01:42:27.521 --> 01:42:30.813 align:center
Sir, we mistook him for
an ignorant fool.

01:42:30.896 --> 01:42:33.438 align:center
- Now look, sir, everything is ruined.
- What value does dignity hold here?

01:42:33.605 --> 01:42:35.771 align:center
It's over, sir.
Everything is over.

01:42:35.855 --> 01:42:37.605 align:center
I'm also taking
part in this campaign.

01:42:37.771 --> 01:42:40.146 align:center
Sir, that hashtag
has gone viral, sir.

01:42:40.271 --> 01:42:43.355 align:center
Bachchan sir, Kamal sir,
and Suriya sir have shared it, sir.

01:42:43.438 --> 01:42:44.313 align:center
I saw it too.

01:42:44.396 --> 01:42:47.146 align:center
Sir, everyone's going to get into
trouble along with Varadarajan.

01:42:47.230 --> 01:42:48.563 align:center
- Hey! Come on.
- Yes, Sir!

01:42:48.646 --> 01:42:49.688 align:center

Why is everyone hounding him
like this?

01:44:39.938 --> 01:44:41.938 align:center
Is that same terrifying fate
waiting for us tomorrow?

01:44:42.730 --> 01:44:45.021 align:center
Thavasi Muthu represents
every single poor person here!

01:44:45.396 --> 01:44:47.271 align:center
What value does our dignity
even hold in this system?

01:44:47.688 --> 01:44:49.313 align:center
What value does
our dignity hold here?

01:44:49.646 --> 01:44:51.396 align:center
Until we get a final resolution
to this crisis...

01:44:51.480 --> 01:44:53.646 align:center
this entire law college
will not function!

01:44:54.563 --> 01:44:57.396 align:center
The trial for this landmark case
is scheduled for April 15th.

01:44:57.480 --> 01:44:58.438 align:center
We will deal with it after that!

01:44:59.021 --> 01:45:01.771 align:center
There are protests across
colleges and universities.

01:45:01.855 --> 01:45:03.730 align:center
To show their protest,

01:45:03.938 --> 01:45:08.730 align:center

What value does dignity have here?

01:45:58.896 --> 01:46:00.896 align:center
See this? This is
the value of dignity!

01:46:00.980 --> 01:46:02.896 align:center
How long are we expected
to live like this?

01:46:02.980 --> 01:46:06.563 align:center
Brother, if you ask me the market value
of tomatoes or onions...

01:46:06.646 --> 01:46:07.855 align:center
I can give you an answer.

01:46:07.938 --> 01:46:11.188 align:center
But if you ask the value of dignity,
how on earth can I answer that?!

01:46:11.271 --> 01:46:14.188 align:center
Legal experts state that this case...

01:46:14.271 --> 01:46:17.438 align:center
has put our entire political system
into serious question.

01:46:17.521 --> 01:46:20.105 align:center
dignity? Tell them to treat us
like humans first!

01:46:21.521 --> 01:46:23.521 align:center
Get lost! Coming here to ask
about the value of dignity?

01:46:23.605 --> 01:46:24.813 align:center
Get lost! Go away!

01:46:25.355 --> 01:46:27.855 align:center
None of us will go out to sea
until this issue is settled!

01:46:27.938 --> 01:46:33.646 align:center
The public believes that the question
raised by Thavasi Muthu cannot be ignored.

01:46:33.730 --> 01:46:35.688 align:center
Thavasi Muthu's
case is not a silly issue.

01:46:35.771 --> 01:46:37.938 align:center
Whatever the court decides today,
we stand with Thavasi Muthu!

01:46:38.021 --> 01:46:39.646 align:center
Thavasi Muthu is one of us.
We are not different.

01:46:39.730 --> 01:46:41.730 align:center
Today's the final verdict.
What do you think?

01:46:44.813 --> 01:46:45.813 align:center
No hope!

01:46:49.271 --> 01:46:50.688 align:center
Respect Constitution!

01:46:50.771 --> 01:46:52.438 align:center
- Respect Humanity!
- We want Justice!

01:46:52.521 --> 01:46:54.855 align:center
- We want Justice!
- Respect Constitution!

01:47:01.980 --> 01:47:05.480 align:center
Hey, move back!
Clear the way!

01:47:10.563 --> 01:47:14.813 align:center
In the rare defamation
case filed by Thavasi Muthu,

01:47:14.896 --> 01:47:18.188 align:center
the Madurai Bench of the High Court is
expected to deliver its judgement today.

01:48:40.188 --> 01:48:43.313 align:center
WP No. 1156/24.

01:48:48.938 --> 01:48:49.938 align:center
My Lord!

01:48:50.021 --> 01:48:52.146 align:center
If the dignity of an
individual has no value,

01:48:52.230 --> 01:48:55.896 align:center
then what is the value of the
political system made for them?

01:49:01.105 --> 01:49:05.771 align:center
If a government elected by the people, for
the people, puts a price on their dignity,

01:49:06.105 --> 01:49:08.105 align:center
then what value does
the country's dignity hold?

01:49:11.521 --> 01:49:14.480 align:center
Thavasi Muthu stands before a court
that is his final hope for justice.

01:49:15.230 --> 01:49:16.730 align:center
Any justice denied to him today...

01:49:17.105 --> 01:49:19.313 align:center
will be an injustice inflicted
upon this entire country!

01:49:19.396 --> 01:49:20.396 align:center
My Lord!

01:49:20.855 --> 01:49:22.938 align:center
What value does
Thavasi Muthu's dignity hold?

01:49:25.855 --> 01:49:27.646 align:center
Given the immense
gravity of this case...

01:49:29.313 --> 01:49:30.605 align:center
representing the Government,

01:49:31.230 --> 01:49:33.896 align:center
the Advocate General
is personally present here.

01:49:35.355 --> 01:49:37.855 align:center
What is the state's
official position, AG?

01:49:39.271 --> 01:49:42.355 align:center
My Lord, this is the
rarest of rare cases.

01:49:42.480 --> 01:49:44.855 align:center
The first time in
judicial history of India.

01:49:45.063 --> 01:49:47.938 align:center
That is why the Chief Minister
has personally instructed me...

01:49:48.105 --> 01:49:51.396 align:center
to present the government's
definitive stance here today.

01:50:20.521 --> 01:50:21.355 align:center
Hello, Sir!

01:50:21.438 --> 01:50:22.438 align:center
- Hello, Sir.
- Sit down.

01:50:30.021 --> 01:50:31.396 align:center
Regarding Thavasi Muthu's case...

01:50:32.230 --> 01:50:34.230 align:center
what is the outlook for tomorrow
in court, AG?

01:50:34.605 --> 01:50:38.730 align:center
Sir, the judgement will surely
be in our government's favour.

01:50:38.938 --> 01:50:41.438 align:center
The arguments from the opposition
are incredibly weak.

01:50:41.521 --> 01:50:43.188 align:center
The court will never entertain them.

01:50:43.813 --> 01:50:46.646 align:center
There is no provision in our law
for Thavasi Muthu's demand.

01:50:46.896 --> 01:50:49.146 align:center
The case completely favours
the government.

01:50:49.521 --> 01:50:51.230 align:center
Why can't people see that?

01:50:52.646 --> 01:50:54.355 align:center
They are turning
Thavasi Muthu into a hero.

01:50:54.855 --> 01:50:56.271 align:center
They are protesting all over the state.

01:50:56.355 --> 01:50:57.188 align:center
Sir!

01:50:57.271 --> 01:50:59.438 align:center
Termites won't survive
more than a day, Sir.

01:51:00.105 --> 01:51:01.521 align:center
This social media trend, you see...

01:51:01.605 --> 01:51:04.188 align:center
It makes someone a hero
today and a zero tomorrow.

01:51:04.438 --> 01:51:05.563 align:center
Please do not worry, Sir.

01:51:05.646 --> 01:51:07.105 align:center
Thavasi Muthu will lose for sure.

01:51:07.730 --> 01:51:08.771 align:center
Thavasi...

01:51:09.146 --> 01:51:10.563 align:center
Who is he fighting against?

01:51:12.063 --> 01:51:13.313 align:center
Against the system, sir!

01:51:13.813 --> 01:51:14.855 align:center
The system!

01:51:15.938 --> 01:51:17.188 align:center
And who...
who makes up this system?

01:51:17.271 --> 01:51:19.563 align:center
The system is you, me,
and everyone else put together.

01:51:19.646 --> 01:51:21.438 align:center
- We constitute the system, right?
- Yes, Sir!

01:51:21.730 --> 01:51:23.188 align:center
By standing against such a system...

01:51:23.688 --> 01:51:25.230 align:center
can Thavasi Muthu succeed?

01:51:25.521 --> 01:51:26.563 align:center
Never, Sir.
Never.

01:51:36.355 --> 01:51:37.355 align:center
AG Sir!

01:51:37.438 --> 01:51:38.771 align:center
There is an old saying.

01:51:39.396 --> 01:51:40.771 align:center
One rotten apple,

01:51:40.938 --> 01:51:42.563 align:center
spoils the whole basket.

01:51:44.813 --> 01:51:46.146 align:center
Our system is no different.

01:51:47.605 --> 01:51:52.813 align:center
If even one link in a chain rusts,
the whole chain breaks apart.

01:51:55.188 --> 01:51:57.271 align:center
The one at fault here
is not Thavasi Muthu.

01:51:57.688 --> 01:51:59.355 align:center
So, do you mean it is the system?

01:52:00.480 --> 01:52:01.771 align:center
- See for yourself.
- Okay!

01:52:12.896 --> 01:52:14.271 align:center
Every official involved in this...

01:52:14.396 --> 01:52:15.813 align:center
none of them should be spared.

01:52:24.980 --> 01:52:26.855 align:center
"If a single virtuous soul exists...

01:52:26.980 --> 01:52:30.105 align:center
the rain falls upon all
for their sake."

01:52:30.480 --> 01:52:31.313 align:center
Sir!

01:52:31.396 --> 01:52:33.021 align:center
The state will win this case, Sir.

01:52:33.355 --> 01:52:34.855 align:center
Why do you want to let it go?

01:52:35.105 --> 01:52:36.938 align:center
Thavasi Muthu must lose, Sir!

01:52:37.563 --> 01:52:38.563 align:center
No, AG Sir.

01:52:39.105 --> 01:52:40.980 align:center
Thavasi Muthu ought to win.

01:52:43.271 --> 01:52:45.771 align:center
Sometimes, a tactical defeat
can turn into a true victory.

01:52:47.521 --> 01:52:48.896 align:center
It is only when the people win...

01:52:49.271 --> 01:52:50.813 align:center
that a nation becomes a democracy.

01:52:51.146 --> 01:52:52.896 align:center
- Sir, what I mean to say is...
- AG, Sir!

01:52:53.146 --> 01:52:54.980 align:center
You have said all you wanted to.

01:52:55.480 --> 01:52:57.188 align:center
Now, it is your turn to listen.

01:52:58.771 --> 01:53:01.105 align:center
Protecting the lives and property
of its citizens...

01:53:01.813 --> 01:53:03.188 align:center
is a government's foremost duty.

01:53:04.563 --> 01:53:05.688 align:center
But in my view...

01:53:05.771 --> 01:53:07.230 align:center
far above life and property...

01:53:08.896 --> 01:53:09.938 align:center
dignity comes first.

01:53:12.521 --> 01:53:14.605 align:center
Had the King of Madurai
delivered a just verdict...

01:53:14.688 --> 01:53:16.230 align:center
Madurai would never have burned...

01:53:16.480 --> 01:53:17.813 align:center
under Kannagi's righteous fury.

01:53:20.813 --> 01:53:22.896 align:center
Madurai must not burn again.

01:53:26.605 --> 01:53:27.813 align:center
Another Kannagi...

01:53:28.355 --> 01:53:29.480 align:center
must never be born.

01:53:34.646 --> 01:53:35.688 align:center
My Lord!

01:53:35.771 --> 01:53:37.730 align:center
An important order from Honourable CM!

01:53:38.521 --> 01:53:39.563 align:center
Tomorrow,

01:53:39.646 --> 01:53:41.771 align:center
in every newspaper that will be printed,

01:53:41.855 --> 01:53:44.646 align:center
the official declaration that
Thavasi Muthu is completely innocent...

01:53:44.730 --> 01:53:48.355 align:center
will be published on the front page
alongside his portrait.

01:53:53.146 --> 01:53:55.771 align:center
It will be broadcasted
across all electronic media.

01:53:58.646 --> 01:53:59.688 align:center
Not only that,

01:53:59.771 --> 01:54:02.938 align:center
it will be publicised via posters
pasted across the entire state.

01:54:03.563 --> 01:54:05.563 align:center
In connection to this matter...

01:54:05.855 --> 01:54:11.896 align:center
every single case filed against him
to this day stands revoked.

01:54:15.730 --> 01:54:16.730 align:center
Additionally...

01:54:16.813 --> 01:54:19.063 align:center
after swiftly resolving all
outstanding legal complexities...

01:54:19.146 --> 01:54:24.855 align:center
the government is willing to return the
disputed medallion to Thavasi Muthu.

01:54:25.271 --> 01:54:26.271 align:center
My Lord!

01:54:26.646 --> 01:54:29.480 align:center
A formal compensation
of ten lakh rupees...

01:54:29.563 --> 01:54:34.063 align:center
has been sanctioned by the Honourable
Chief Minister for Thavasi Muthu.

01:54:35.688 --> 01:54:42.480 align:center
I humbly request Thavasi Muthu
to step forward and accept it.

01:54:54.688 --> 01:54:55.980 align:center
I do not need that money, sir.

01:54:58.021 --> 01:54:59.855 align:center
I only fought for my dignity...

01:55:01.896 --> 01:55:03.188 align:center
I did not do this for money.

01:55:12.646 --> 01:55:14.271 align:center
This is far from a conventional case.

01:55:16.730 --> 01:55:18.771 align:center
And I'm defying all conventions
to say this...

01:55:21.646 --> 01:55:22.813 align:center
Mr. Thavasi Muthu!

01:55:24.646 --> 01:55:26.938 align:center
Please come forward
along with your family.

01:56:18.688 --> 01:56:21.063 align:center
The Government's statement shall
stand as the verdict of this Court.

01:56:21.146 --> 01:56:22.146 align:center
But...

01:56:22.605 --> 01:56:24.646 align:center
I say this from the depth of my
long experience...

01:56:25.313 --> 01:56:27.313 align:center
serving on the bench
in courts of law.

01:56:28.688 --> 01:56:30.646 align:center
This is a truly
miraculous verdict.

01:56:35.605 --> 01:56:37.855 align:center
Our one and only hope
moving forward is that...

01:56:38.438 --> 01:56:39.521 align:center
in the future...

01:56:39.646 --> 01:56:41.230 align:center
within any court of justice...

01:56:42.021 --> 01:56:44.105 align:center
there should never again
arise a situation...

01:56:44.271 --> 01:56:45.855 align:center
to deliver a verdict
of this nature.

01:56:58.771 --> 01:57:00.771 align:center
Yaay!

01:57:43.521 --> 01:57:46.521 align:center
I will be forever grateful for your
kind help as long as I live, madam!

01:57:59.230 --> 01:58:00.355 align:center
Thavasi Muthu!

01:58:00.480 --> 01:58:02.563 align:center
