[Arikuttan] We hid in Ilinjam for 3 years.
SI Suresh made us pull off some petty smuggling and thefts on the side.
After those 3 years, he gave us a major operation to handle.

[bike rumbling]
[In Tamil] We should be always alert.
[In Tamil] That day, we were on our way.
And we noticed someone sitting stunned on the road.
[bike rumbling]
[bike speeding by]
He was drenched in blood.
It looked like an accident.
He would be around 55 years old.
Feeling sorry for him, we offered him a lift.
Hey, lower your voice. The kid’s asleep.
Listen, it's not a silly amount.
He stole 5 lakh rupees!

[screams] [loud crash]
[grunts]
[tense music]
Oh no! Looks like they are dead!
[pained grunt]
Go and take it.
[Althaf] Hey, slowly.
There's a kid too.
There's a lady. We got the wrong vehicle?
[Maniyan] Grab the stuff and get back fast.
[painful groan]
Arikuttan!
[Moonga] Hey, did we attack the wrong vehicle?
Check it, man.
It's the wrong vehicle.
[Kanji] No. That's the same vehicle number Suresh Sir told us about.
-We got it wrong. -[Kanji] No, just search.
[Moonga] They are alive.
[Kanji] Dude, don't go for unnecessary things!
Let's stick to what we came for.
[Moonga] That lady’s wearing a gold chain.
Let's snatch it and go.
Come, come.
[Althaf] It's not the wrong vehicle.
[pained grunt]
Wait, I’ll bring the vehicle around.
STOP FOOLING AROUND AND COME UP!
-Come on. -[Moonga] Yeah, yeah.
[gunfire]
[grunts]
Arikuttan! Arikuttan!
[stifled scream]
Arikuttan!
Take him to the rickshaw.
[painful groan]
[painful shout] -Take him!
[grunts]
[chewing]
Are you even listening to me?
The car toppled.
There was a child in it.
You rushed to save her.
And you were shot in the back.
Then...
Kanji slit the driver's throat.
Kanji is even more violent than we thought, right?
Hmm.
But, do you think he'll stay calm if I get shot?
Huh?
Well, don't write that he slit his throat.
What if he's arrested after my book is published?
Still, someone did die, right?
Inspector Suresh covered it up as an accident.
He fetched the postmortem report too.
It was an accident!
Don't you want pancakes?
No need. I have gastric issues.
Back then, gold smuggling was so common, right?
Yeah, it was!
But, it stopped soon.
We couldn't keep it going.
It's a massive business.
Even politicians and celebrities were involved.
Diamond smuggling was also a big deal.
The top groups near the airport controlled everything.
[Arikuttan] I never expected him to have a gun.
Next thing I knew, I had a bullet wound in my lung.
Only survived because of my naive mom's prayers.
SI Suresh gave us the tips.
He was supposed to get the biggest cut.
We got a share too.
But when things went south, he passed the deal to someone else.
Althaf! Pick up the kid!
[Moonga] Ari, get up!
Can we take this gunshot case to the general hospital?
[Kanji] Maniyan, make him understand.
Please take care of him!
I CAN'T!
TAKE HIM TO ANY OTHER HOSPITAL!
-PLEASE! I BEG YOU! -NO WAY!
-Kanji, lift him. -There's a kid too.
No matter if there's a kid, I won't take it up!
Can't you understand? Get out!
What kind of a doctor you are! You moron!
Beware!
This is not over!
You’ll never live in peace again, you cursed bastard!
[tense music]
Start the ambulance!
Come on!
Come fast, let's take him to another hospital.
Bring the kid!
-Open the door! -[Maniyan] Start the vehicle!
[ambulance siren wails]
Hop on.
[phone ringing]
-What's it? -[Althaf] Arikuttan has been screwed!
Huh? How?
We are going to the hospital.
This was all your plan, wasn’t it?
Didn't you know they had a gun?
Hang up the call, you prick!
Give me the phone, give it.
-Dude, stop the scooter! -Buzz off!
Just stop the damn thing, man.
-Stop it, dude! -Do you want to pee?
What's it!?
Stop! STOP!
Bring it! Bring it!
Hey, Arikuttan...
Hey...
What's in your hand?
-My phone! Did you break it? -Let's take care of Arikuttan first.
Let's go.
[Suresh] We have reached the hospital.
Sister, admit him immediately, it's an accident case.
For accident cases, we need a 15,000 rupee deposit.
-I'll pay 500 rupees first. -We will do it soon.
No, we can't do that.
How will that work?
You’ll have to pay upfront. We’ll reimburse it later.
-Sister, he is about to die! -What the hell?
Wait! I'll talk to her.
I don't think 15,000 rupees will cut it.
-Call Doctor Pappu Marar. -Take him to a medical college.
He knows me. I'm the SI of this station.
Call him now!
What's the issue?
If it's Suresh sir's case, let's deal with it.
Sir, it’s a bit critical.
[Ad song in the TV] ♪ Here comes Premalatha to colour up your clothes ♪
[Nurse] Sir, this is risky. We shouldn’t take it up.
Listen to me. You don't have to worry.
Doctor, come with me.
-Does he have any fracture? -There's another thing.
[panting]
[upbeat tense music]
Over here.
-Hand this over in the cabin. -They'll do it.
You’ve no idea who I am!
You wicked lady!
[scooter rumbling]
Get off!
Doctor...
He's been shot!
-Huh? -Someone shot him.
We don’t take in gunshot cases!
Sir, there's a little girl too.
Please!
-He won't die. -Sir, if something happens to him...
Just take him in, we don’t have time to argue!
Sir...
he got shot during a task I sent him on.
If it's not solved, I'll lose my job.
We can't take him to the government hospital.
It was an under-the-table deal.
He won't die.
Doctor Xavier is here.
I'll deal with it.
-You sure? -Yes.
Even if he dies, I'll keep you safe.
Come come.
Where's Ari (Rice)? Where were you?
-Where's Kanji (porridge)? -The cafeteria is already closed.
Are you looking for rice and porridge now?
3.5 lakh for this petty guy's life?
Sir, he’s just a slum rat!
1 lakh rupees...
1.5 lakhs, maximum.
How can we settle this case without at least 3 lakhs?
Your job is at stake!
He will give the money.
FROM WHERE?!
Also, you have to give extra cash for the kid's treatment.
Hey, write down that kid's address.

[foreboding music intensifies]
Sir...
You guys messed it up and now...
Sir...
The cops recovered gold from the toppled vehicle.
[ominous music]
[Maniyan] You knew we didn’t have tools, right?
And didn't you know they had a gun?
But you knew the total amount of gold.
Weren't you informed at all?
The driver and the woman are dead, man!
We took the gun away.
You guys killed someone by slashing his throat, huh?
Sir...
What are you saying? Are you trying to frame us?
Sir, he died during the accident.
His neck got stuck in the handrail and...
That's right, sir.
He got stuck and choked to death.
Sir... sir...
Sir, let's save Arikuttan.
How much should we pay?
Let's save Arikuttan.
Tell us what it’ll cost! Come on, say it.
We need 3 lakhs.
We did this all because you told us to, right?
We followed your orders, huh?
If you ever say that I told you to do everything...
I'll throw you all in jail!
Arikutan won't say it,
then why are you doing it?
He won't.
He won't say it, you son of a bitch!
-Hey! I'll lock you up! -Get lost!
Maniyan...
[Moonga crying]
[Maniyan] Sir...
Sir...
If anything happens to him...
If anything happens to him, you’re finished!
-Huh? You will? -We will!
Huh!?
[shattering noise]
It’s been in the garage three days.
[booming sound]
From where did it fall?
Bro, it's your rickshaw, right?
You told us about the vehicle, huh?
And there's gold in it, too?
How could you forget about the gun?! Huh?
You made us see death's door...
and now you're playing dumb, huh?
3 lakhs! You will only pay that amount!
I had no idea about it, Maniyan!
You knew it!
[Althaf] Sir, don't make things worse.
Just go. Get out!
Go!
[panting]
Sir, sir...
-Sir... -What's the update?
Sir, that woman regained consciousness. She's alive.
And the old man has been arrested.
But, the driver is dead.
-And... this is the gun. -No.
How many kilograms?
Around 65 kilos. We couldn't weigh it, sir.
Somewhere between 60 and 70 kilos.
What to do now?
Nothing, sir. The law enforcement arrived,
and we couldn't even secure a single bar.
And if this guy dies in between...
If he dies, then so be it, sir. There's nothing we can do.
Sir...
Sir, something fell from up there and landed on my rickshaw.
Over there.
-Let's fix it. -Do something, sir.
AARGH!
[playful music]
My dear daughter, please give me just one.
No, I won't.
Oh no! If I ask you, you must give.
My dear...
-Just one. -No way.
Why not give him a kiss?
He's been asking for such a long time.
Well, what happened?
Why this sudden affection for our daughter?
[Kalyani] Dad!
Eh?
What are you doing? Are you taking off her bangle?
-I was coming to you. -[Shantha] For what?
Hey...
I'm in desperate need of some money.
We need to pawn some gold.
Can I have some of your jewellery?
Will that be enough?
How about giving my nuptial necklace too?
Oh no! No need for that.
It doesn't have enough gold content.
However, give me this black chain.
Are you serious?
You shouldn't fulfil any of your needs by selling my bangle!
It's an emergency. I have no other choice.
I will never give up my jewellery, not even for my life.
You are taking off the kid's bangle too.
What kind of father would do that?
My dear, go and play over there. I'll come now.
[Suresh] Come with me. Let me explain.
-I don't want to hear anything! -Sit here.
Shucks!
Hey...
we assigned them a task, right?
It backfired.
The one called Arikuttan is in the hospital after getting shot.
We need 3 lakh rupees to save him.
Having counted everything I have, I got 1.5 lakh rupees.
There's 25,000 left in the bank.
And for the rest...
if you could give your ornaments...
We could get by for now.
Your salary is due in 4-5 days, right?
Use that money to pay for it.
Borrow the rest from someone else.
Not for his funeral rites, it's to save him, I need it today!
I lost the only necklace I had.
All that is left for me-- Look here...
...are these 5 bangles.
Should I give them to you and
be left with nothing to save a stranger's life?
If not, you won't have anyone to call 'darling'!
Huh?
Hey! I meant I'll be dust and bones!
HUH?
Ugh!
If we don't save that Arikuttan...
I'll have to kill myself.
Or the guys with him will kill me.
Don't you dare blackmail me emotionally!
I have seen this tactic in many daily soaps!
[frustrated sigh]
I married a fool who doesn't understand what I say!
Aha!
If I give you my jewellery as you ask, I'm smart.
But if I refuse, I'm a fool, huh?
All these were here?
And in the kitchen, of all places?
If you create a problem, you should solve it.
Don't take it out on me!
I'LL SLAP YOU...
Slap me!
Go ahead, kill me and our daughter.
[glass shatters]
[soft playful music]
Nothing, my dear.
A glass just fell from her hand.
Go back to your room.
[panting]
Sit...
sit here.
[crying]
Sorry.
I admit it.
But now, you should stand with me.
Don't you...
trust me?
Hmm.
I'll get back this money within 4 months.
Have I ever done something...
that’s hurt you or our daughter?
Huh?
Just trust me, please.
Huh?
[soft ominous music]
Hmm.
[grunts]
You’ll be fine soon.
[knocking on door]
[In Marathi] Open the door.
Come.

[In Hindi] Greetings, sir.
[ominous music]
[In Hindi] Come in.
[Cop 1] Hello, sir.
[Maithreyan] Hi.
[Cop 1] Having a good day?
Good day, sir.
Everything is fine?
Absolutely, sir.
We came... for a routine check-up.
Routine check-up?
[In Hindi] Sir...
what do you do?
I'm a writer, sir.
[In Hindi] I'm a writer.
[Maithreyan] I write novels, stories, dramas and all that jazz.
I'm very famous.
[In Hindi] Have you seen this guy somewhere?
He was seen in the dockyard 2 days ago.
[Hindi dialogue continues]
No, sir.
He is a Malayalee.
Yes, I'm a Malayalee.
[Cop 1] Sir...
he is a Malayalee.
And so are you.
[stammers nervously]
Yes... I'm a Malayalee.
But... I haven't seen this guy.
[Cop 1] He killed a cop and escaped.
[Maithreyan] What? Did he kill a cop!?
Little don.
Arun.
-Arun? -Yes.
[Maithreyan] What's happening here, sir?
[Cop 2] That person Althaf...
Althaf...
that guy who runs a tea shop in the street.
-Oh! That tea guy. -Yeah, he is also a part of this gang.
No way, sir.
He is just an innocent guy.
He gives us tea every day.
He’s... a good guy.
[pulsating electro music]
[In English] If you can see him...
call me.
For sure, sir.
I... will contact you.
-Kamble... -Yes, sir.
give him the number.
Yes, sir.
-Alright then, Mr Writer. -Okay.
[smiles]
Number...
[panting]
659.
6-5-9.
Okay, sir.
[In Hindi] If I come to know about anything, I'll contact you.
[door creaks shut]
[In Marathi] He is too smart.
[In Marathi] He is a writer, after all.
[In Marathi] No worries, let's do this...
[In Marathi] Let's station some men undercover.
[In Marathi] I'm certain that the criminal is hiding nearby.
[papers rustling]
[sighs in relief]
[indistinct chatter]
Hey, don't ever take things involving kids lightly.
It's your own kid, right?
Then act like it, man.
Huh?
I'm not saying much since the child's mother is here.
-I'll crush your balls! -Muthu, no!
[Althaf] They are not that kid's real dad and mom.
It's just a trick to evade the police.
Still, who rents out their own kid?
When people need money, they do stuff like this.
No one ever tried renting us out though.
-Who would even want you? -Hey hey!
I was just kidding.
[crowd arguing in the background]
Give it, mom.
Brother...
[argument intensifies]
He is the new contractor. Let's screw him over?
Well, once your wound is healed.
Son, what's all this?
If they are demolishing, let them.
Oh no...
Just calm down.
-I'll take care of it. -Son...
-Don't you understand?
[soft emotional music]
[thunderous crash]
[Arikuttan] The next two months were supposed for rest.
But, I can't afford it.
My family was going through a difficult time.
Kunju cooked food for me at that time.
Mom started to go for construction work.
Kanji began attending coaching classes.
Even though he failed 12th grade,
The classes were to prepare him for government job exams.
Althaf enrolled in a parallel college.
He intended to complete his 12th grade education.
Maniyan joined a music troupe.
He had a blessed voice, after all.
[intense electro music]
When I was stuck at home after getting shot,
Kingini came over to see me.
Came right to my home.
I was totally surprised.
And then there's Muthu...
I've known him since our school days.
But he truly became 'Moonga' (Grey Owl) once he got into business.
The businessmen near the Kerala border buy barn owls for black magic.
They believe it brings good fortune.
Muthu milked that superstition and raked in money.
Can't blame the guy.
And just like that, 'Moonga' was born.
The first rich guy among us!
[loud laughter]
[chuckles]
Hey!
Hey, go and buy cigarettes.
Have you started smoking?
Nothing like that. Just flexing my wealth.
Yeah, I got to know it. Good job, dude.
Hey kid, you've grown so much!
Come here.
Take this.
No, please. No.
I'm like your own brother, take this, my dear.
Go buy yourself some chocolates.
Get going.
1000 rupees to buy some chocolates?
She's like a sister to me, man. Let her have it.
Tell me about the business.
There's a possibility for another business.
Profitable?
Well, if we have SI Suresh with us...
If it's profitable, I'll convince him.
I...
met a Tamil family near Mattaruvi.
It's a business they do.
How about grabbing it?
Why not?
[chuckles]
Where's your assistant?
Isn't he back yet?
-Why were you late? -It was so crowded, bro.
I didn't ask you to roll and make it.
For you.
You'll get such cheap cigarettes in Thadippaalam.
That’s enough. Smoke it. It's better than beedi.
We are sidelined now, after all.
Dude, this is different.
Let's get it ready. Smoke that cigarette.
-I'll bring SI Suresh on board. -Is it?
Just tell me the rest of the plan.
Then let's grab it, dude!
[playful music]
[Arikuttan] Even back then, Kerala had a dairy cooperative society.
But not in the areas bordering Tamil Nadu.
The milk tankers took the Cherumankavu-Ponkasi route
from Kerala to Tamil Nadu.
A massive 12 tankers of milk went every day.
Each one carrying almost 10,000 litres of milk.
If we stole 1,000 litres from each tanker...
we’d get 12,000 litres in total.
Back in 2004, a packet of milk cost 13 rupees.
So, we'd pull in over 1 lakh rupees a day.
That was a huge amount back then.
If one person has brains, it's not a huge task.
Four milk tankers from the Dairy Cooperative Society
travel from Cherumankavu to Ponkasi.
2000 litres of milk in every vehicle.
After passing through the forest and then the farm, there's a check post.
The tanker will stop there.
[humming]
[soft glug of pouring milk]
[Arikuttan] You look so happy today.
[both laughing]
What happened?
When the cops saw me, they asked a question right away...
[In Hindi] Who are you?
[In English] Who are you?
I didn't give up.
[In English] I said I'm a writer.
[In Hindi] I'm a writer.
As soon as they heard it...
Really?
Salute!
I got all emotional, man!
For real.
Obviously.
These cops are nothing new to me.
I...
I was a Naxalite for 13 days.
Seriously? Then what happened?
Then, I got married.
My fights with the cops turned into fights with my wife.
Quite obvious.
But the cops have interrogated me so much about that old case.
I was even under house arrest.
-Really? -Yes!
But...
How did they find out I'm here?
It's the cops' job to track down suspects.
And it's our job to evade them.
-Correct? -Right on point.
Old memories, right?
-Althaf... -[Althaf] Yes.
The police asked about you.
-Police? -Yeah.
I said he's an innocent tea shop owner.
Leave him alone.
He said, "I trust you, sir."
[laughs]
Sir, can you finish the entire story in a go?
Well, I can.
But...
we are getting delayed as I write down following his words.
There's an alternative.
-Do you want to see it? -Yes.
[grunts]
-Hey, see, our first business. -First business!
-You want to get jailed again? -They have expanded to Bombay.
[Maithreyan] This is my top-class tape recorder.
Don't worry. You haven't done anything wrong.
Well, well!
-I got another option. -What?
Technology has advanced.
-Phone? -Yeah!
We can record the audio on it.
How?
We can record everything I say. I'll show you.
Look...
Say something.
[In Hindi] I'm Maithreyan.
Okay.
-Why did you say that? -Shall I play it?
We got both of the voices, right?
-We'll get everything we say. -But, we don't need this.
This is convenient for me.

What? We don't have even a penny.
But, they are not aware of that.
Hey, we don't have any cash.
Not cash, brother.
Hey...
just stop the truck, dude.
They’re here to knock us out and steal the truck! Step on it!

I should’ve been the one up there.

These guys are crazy! Go quickly, bro!
Stop it!

[music stops]
[Althaf] Did he think a few close calls would scare us?
[Moonga] Why the hell didn’t he just pull over?!
Beat the hell out of him when he comes out!
[Althaf] We reached first as we went all out without fear!
I guess he'll stop right here.
OH NO!
[loud honking]
Run away!
[loud crash]
OH NO! [wheels screeching]

You son of a bitch!
If they stop the tanker, we'll grab 100 litres of milk.
They can easily adjust it once they reach there.
But they won't stop.
Or else why would we do all this adventure?

Bro, 10,000.
1000 litres for us!
Go on.
Sir...
what are you going to do with the 1000 litres?
Why does that bother you?
If you're reselling it, I’ve got a better business idea.
I'll smack you!
It's his idea, not mine!
Come on, say it!
Sir, we can make milk sweets, isn't it good?
Milk sharbat! Even better.
Also butter, so profitable.
Moreover, my cousin has a curd business!

Sir, let me tell you something.
Sir, please let me say.
Move away! Move away!
Sir, there are 12 vehicles altogether.
12 tankers.
We have a solid connection with all the drivers.
I'll operate the deal.
But there's something...
-50-50 profit sharing. -Are you setting up a new deal?
I'll crack your head open!
[Moonga] Move him aside.
Hold your horses! Cool down.
He is mad.
-[Maniyan] Cool down. -[Kanji] Yeah, I'm cool.
They used to do this in Cherumankavu.
But it was called off halfway.
If we have cops with us, we can pull it off.
Hey...
The police are your concern, right?
I’ll handle that. Got it?
[Driver 1] Then how about a 40-60 profit split?
Huh?
Can’t you get what we’re saying?
Don't hit him.
No shares.
We’ll give you whatever we decide.
It's enough, sir. Untie me, please.
Please let go of me, sir.
We will give you food.
-That's all. -Okay, okay.
Make it quick.

''MAFIA INVOLVED IN MILK HEIST NEAR PONKASI''
[bicycle bell rings]
If the market rate was 13 rupees, we sold it for 10 rupees.
But, we diluted it with 50 litres of water.
That adds up to 350 litres a day.
As we diluted it with pure water...
nobody had any complaints.
Just like a service.
We've even sold the diluted milk to the Ambujam Company themselves.
[Althaf] Countless times!
But, I wonder who dilutes it now?
Still, they are not running on loss.
They have even expanded to Bombay.
[funky celebration music]
[Arikuttan] We gave cigarettes, liquor, and cash to the cops at all the checkposts
and swayed them to our side.
SI Suresh came in person and set everything up.
They're all cut from the same cloth, after all.
And just like that, we had control of all the checkposts.
Everything went off smoothly.
Money started rolling in.
Then, I bought a car and paid in full.
A brand new one, not a secondhand.
Mom was over the moon.
We bribed the contractor who came to demolish Thadippaalam
and got him on our side.
Both he and we were happy.
This way, we did something for our colony.
No one will lose their home anymore.
[Arikuttan] All of us contributed
and started an arts and sports club in Thadippaalam.
Vismaya Arts and Sports Club!
Vismaya means ''magic''.
However, Maniyan proposed changing the name...
to ''Superstar Vikraman Arts and Sports Club''.
No one opposed as we were all die hard fans of Vikraman.
[drums playing, celebratory music]
[Announcement] Someone who has captured the hearts of the Malayalee audience...
with her recent super hit movies,
The super actress who cools you like a summer breeze...
the princess of Malayalam cinema herself,
Sreelakshmi, is gracing Thadippaalam with her presence!
Shower your blessings upon her!
Now that everyone's favourite Sreelakshmi has arrived,
Let's proceed to the inauguration of Thadippaalam Arts & Sports Club.
[Kanji] No one should leave after the ribbon cutting,
as sweets and drinks have been arranged for everyone.
Please have it before you leave.
[celebratory music]
This morning, on my way to college...
And Vijeesh...
What'd that punk say? I've been watching him!
-The bus named 'Vijeesh.' -Bus?
[blowing whistle]
[playful, cheeky music]
[In Tamil] Hey, it's been long since I saw you.
[In Tamil] The bus is colourful today.
What's your problem?
[In Tamil] Nothing big, sister.
[In Tamil] What happened?
What an ugly stare!
[playful music]
♪ You look into my eyes ♪
♪ I look into your eyes ♪
♪ Is this called love? ♪ -Shall we get off?
We need to get down.
Mwah!
-Stop the bus! -[blows whistle]
Come.
[bus rumbling]
[dramatic music]
[Girl] No, no!
[windshield shattering]
[crowd murmurs]
I have given him what he deserves, you shouldn't interfere now!
Arikuttan, listen to me!
Althaf, you guys carry on. I'll go bring a 'chief guest' now.
It's over! Get lost with your heroine.
That jerk who touched Thadippaalam's sister
shouldn’t be allowed near a bus bell again!
-Where are you going? -Move away if you don't want to die!
[Kanji] I'll kill everyone!
[Kanji's mom] What are you doing in between such a programme?
Hey, start the vehicle!
Where are you going?
Let them go. I'm here.
Smash his balls!
[Senthil grunts in pain] Hey, who are you?
[Maniyan] You thought you could get away easily?
[grunts in pain]
[playful action music]
[Kanji] How dare you ring bells in the wrong places?
[Senthil] Let go of me.
[Maniyan] Hey, numbskull! I’ll wreck your face!
Even your own mom won’t recognise you!
[Kanji] Pick him up!
[Senthil] Hey, wait.
[screams in pain]
[Kanji] Where's that stick?
Hey, what's your name?
-WHAT'S YOUR NAME!? -Senthil.
Senthil? It's him, it's him.
Throw it!
Wait-wait.
Throw it! Come on!
Smash it!
[shattering noise]
Let this be a lesson to all who disrespect women.
How dare you mess with us after drinking our milk!?
If anyone is brave enough, come here now!
Dancing on our heads, eh!?
[grunts in pain]
[clicks] [music stops]
[Arikuttan] Eh?
Why are you bringing the same girl's track again in between your story?
Sir... Kingini is...
Arikuttan's ex-girlfriend.
Is that so?
Is there a love angle too?
Yeah.
But, you didn't tell me.
I did.
No...
You never mentioned the love angle.
Well...that's...
It was something of that sort, that's all.
When we are moving ahead with the interesting milk events...
if this girl's track comes in between...
Continue.
[festive drums beating]
[crowd cheers excitedly]
[ominous music]
[Kanji] All of you will be given a chance to kick him.
Don't create a mess.
Go ahead, kick him!
Kick him with all you've got!
[epic music swells]
Hey, what should we do with this creep?
Let him dangle there for two days.
Let him go. He got enough and more.
-Let his itch die down. -Hey...
take the blessings from Vikraman first.
[Boys] My dear Vikraman bro!
Do you know how to sweep and clean?
-Bro, carroms. -Wait-wait. You know sweeping?
Then do it.
You can play after that.
Hey....
-Don't make a hole there. -[Senthil in Tamil] Let go, brother.
Bro, it's hurting.
-What? -It's hurting.
[Althaf] He’s more into ringing people than bus bells!
[pained grunt]
[tense music]
