Muruga, take.
Yes, sir.
I have stitched it. Tie it to the bullock.
Muruga!
Have you stitched it, dear? - Yes.
You tie it.
You also come. - Come.
Tie it.

Sister, come.
I have kept the things to be loaded there.
Have to load the oil cakes (animal feed) also.
If you can wait for half an hour, you can take that also.
Alright. I will leave the bullocks there.
Okay. I will be on the other side. Come there.

Madam... - Brother.
Sister, sit. I will load the things. Hang up.
Sister, take rupees six hundred fifty.
Unload the oil cakes in its place and take the balance from there.
Okay? - Okay.
Give her tea. - Yes, sir.
Sir, work over. Can I go to eat?
Is your work over? - Yes.
Alright. You may go. - Okay.
Sister, she has finished the work.
You may tie the bullocks to the cart and take the load.
Alright. I will take care.
Where are the bullocks?
I tied them here.
Sir, my bullocks are missing.
What?! Did you tie them properly? - Yes.
Do not worry. They must be grazing here.
Let us go and see.
Nobody is here. All of them have gone for lunch.
They must be grazing here. We will see.
Cannot see them.
Where did the bullocks, that were tied here, go?
Hey, did you see any bull? - Sick bull.
Murugesh, the moneylender, has taken your bullocks.
Moneylender Murugesh?
Sister, did you take any loan from him?
I have not paid interest since 3 months.
He is a bad man. He may sell the bullocks. Go and check.
Alas!
Sir, greetings.
Welcome Kandasamy. How come you are here?
My well has dried up. Worried how I will manage.
Okay...
Thinking of building houses in the vacant land and sell them.
If you can help me...
There is not a drop of water there.
Are you pledging the documents of that place
and want me to give you money?
Sir... - I cannot give. You may go.
Brother!
Rasathi, come. Looks like you have forgotten your brother.
No, I have not forgotten.
Your principal and interest money is increasing day by day.
I was paying all these days.
Even after my husband's death, I was paying regularly.
It is because of your honesty in repaying the
loan that I lent you money for buying the cart.
I am not paying only since 3 months.
I was in panic when I did not find the bulls.
Did he take away without informing you? - Yes.
Just wait.
Hey. - Yes, sir.
Who took away Rasathi's bullocks without informing her?
I only took them.
Only bank people lock the house
and take away the cattle for unpaid loans.
Why should we do like them?
Can we do anything because they have borrowed from us?
Sir, it was a mistake.
I do not agree. Hang up.
You can resign from the job.
Hang up.
Brother, I will repay the amount. Please give back my bullocks.
No, Rasathi. Pay the money and take your bulls.
Brother!
Mother, where are Kandan and Kadavan?
Moneylenders have taken the bulls because we did not repay their money.
How much money should we pay?
You do not worry about it.
I will handle it.
We will somehow get back the bulls. Come.
How will you earn livelihood and repay the loan
if they take away the bullocks? Idiot!
He is right. We have borrowed money.
I will get back the bulls if I pay the money.
Please get me a job.
I am employed in the 100 day job. Why should you also suffer?
I do not mind any job. Just get me a job.
Alright. I will take you tomorrow. We will talk to the chief mason.
Alright.
Sir... - Come Muruga.
The velocity of a particle is arrived
by dividing distance with time.
What is meant by velocity?
Why did you not pay attention to my lecture?
You come late to school daily. Go and call your father.
My father has gone out of town.
Then bring your mother. - Both of them have gone.
Is it? Then go and kneel down under the tree.
Decide what you are going to do.
You have to tell me before the school gets over.
I will bring my mother tomorrow.
No. You must bring your father tomorrow.
What about you? Was your bus late? - Yes, sir.
Should not lie tomorrow.
I am saying the truth. Bus came late.
The bus is late daily. What is the solution for this?
Sir, let us stand in the middle of the road and agitate.
How dare you speak like that? I will skin you.
Both of you sit in a place and study.
Sir...
Get in.
How many have come? - 24 people.
24 people? - Yes.
There are only 23. - Including you...
Oh, did you include me also?
You are smart. - Okay, sir.
Carry on with your work. Do not stare at me.
Mason! - Tell me.
She is known to me and is in difficulty.
Please give her a job.
Will she work well or is a chatter box like you?
She will work well.
What is your name? - Rasathi.
Rasathi.
Alright. Come for work from tomorrow.
Okay, brother.
Brother! She called me 'brother'.
You may go. - You go. I will start working.
Hey, do not sit idle. Drink water and then start working.
Okay, sir.
Rasathi, I have headache since 2 days.
You said we must finish the work in 2 days.
Why are they talking instead of working?
Let us go and see. - But lots of stones are lying here.
How can we work? - What should I do?
First send your men to remove the stones from here.
You have so many employees. Why don't you clean it up?
How can I do it?
I have employed only the number of workers required for farming.
How can I do it?
I cannot clean it. You do it and I will finish my job in time.
Alright. I will clean it up. You do your work tomorrow.
Thank you.
No work for you today. Leave now.
I will call you when there is work.
You may go now.
Come.
Did you pay double far and bring me here to carry these stones?
Do not underestimate these stones. We will not get rain without them.
Keep quiet. Do not talk while working.
Take it.
You are overloading the cart like a village bus.
How will I convince the villagers?
In our village there is a belief that if we put these grinding
stones in the village border, we will get rain.
Go. - You are taking too many stones.
I will be in problem if anyone sees it.
That is why we called an outsider.
You came to us after we agreed to pay double the fare.
Thangamuthu, I believed you and came.
Do not bother for his words.
This has been happening in our village since ages.
Start now. Get in.
Hold it.
I will not. Get down.
Get down fast.
Come on fast.
Shall I unload it?
Lift it. Fast. Lift it
Lift it and drop the stones down.
Drop them. Fast.
Enough.
Set it right. Start now.
I hope there will not be any problem.
Don't worry. But if the local people here see...
They will thrash us if they see.
Get in. Let us go.
We could have rolled over here instead of coming by a cart.
My intestines are coming out.
Hope there will be rain. Otherwise we will thrash the driver.
Do not ever think of that.
Do not get angry, my son.
Rasathi, give this to that lady.
Madam, take. - Give.
How is your daughter-in-law?
She is unable to feed the baby.
Come here whenever you want milk.
Thank you, Rasathi. Brother, the milk is not sufficient for us.
Owner is angry.
We buy from you paying eighty rupees.
Why are you giving others instead of to me?
Take whatever I give. Do not fight.
The milk is meant for a baby. Do not calculate.
But sir. - Keep quiet. Go.
Brother...
Brother!
Do you feel there will be some problem
after we kept the grinding stone yesterday?
Nothing will happen. We kept it so that there will be rain.
Brother, take.
Sir, welcome.
Bring the chair.
Sir, are you fine?
I came to take 'Panchgavya' (mixture of five cow products)
I will give. Just a minute... Are you expecting a vehicle?
Thangamuthu, why don't you load it in the cart in the evening?
Sir, please sit. - Okay, sir. Please sit.
Sir, are you fine?
I am good. Are you fine?
I am good. Shall I serve you tea?
No. I had just now.
Alright, sir.
Did that sick cow become pregnant?
No. It is the first cow of our family.
I have also tried traditional methods to help pregnancy.
No use.
Nachimathu gave some medicine four days back.
I am giving it. Let me wait.
Shall I go?
Okay, sir. I will send in the evening.
Okay. Bye. - Bye.
Give the medicine.
Take. - Block me.
If Lakshmi sees it, it will not drink.
You cannot hide from her. She knows it.
I can see the DAO coming with someone.
Let him come.
She knows. - I told you.
She is not coming near the water.
Thangamuthu, are you fine?
Sir, welcome. How are you?
Good. I came to see you.
Who is in that jeep?
Veterinary department people have come for research.
They want a country cow.
So I have come to you.
Sir, I do not sell cows.
I know you do not sell.
They want you to buy any other good country cow from someone.
There is some work in village court.
I have to go. Can you accompany them?
No problem. I will go. - Alright.
Rasathi! - Yes.
Get my shirt. - Coming.
Sekhar... - Yes.
Son, what are you doing now?
Farming. I am doing cattle rearing.
Sir. - Tell me.
For which research do you want to buy cattle?
We are doing research to protect country cattle
and to increase the breed.
Oh, it is a good thing. - Yes.
Country cows can be grown
even under drought conditions without any problem.
Their fodder expense is less.
So government has decided to increase their breed.
Though late, it is a good effort.
Not only drought
two country cows can take care of a small farming family.
It can be used to plough, used to draw cart
and Panchgavya mixture can be made out of its waste.
Panchgavya is a good organic manure for agriculture.
We get milk for household.
Extra milk can be sold and people are ready to pay more for it.
You are right.
Sir, buying cow is an art.
We have to check its teeth.
Not only teeth. We must also check the udder.
It is very good if the bones in the stomach are similar in both sides.
Thangamuthu, looks like it is going to rain heavily.
In our village?
You do not know about our village.
Our place will be dry even if entire Tamilnadu is flooded.
It will not rain now.
There will be a drizzle and then it will stop.
You can pay next week and take the cows.
Selection will be over today.
Okay, sir.
Kandasamy sir. - Tell me.
Where is Kari cow?
It is sold. This cow is also a good one.
Do not want this cow.
Why? What happened?
Two of the cow's teats are damaged.
I am short of money. You are buying for government.
Adjust and finish the deal. Milk will flow from all the four tarts.
I know about cows. I do not want it.
Government is trying to do some good to the cows only now.
Let us buy good cows for them.
He speaks as if he is the savior of country cows.
Many people are here like you.
Why don't you buy it for them?
Keep quiet.
You know everything about cows.
But the cow in your house has still not borne a calf.
Do something for that. Do not talk rubbish.
It is not only Thangamuthu's cow that has not become pregnant.
Hey! How dare you? Leave him.
- Do not fight.
I will thrash you.
He is talking nonsense.
No need for the cow. Let us go.
We can buy the cows that you agreed. Thanks a lot.
Alright, sir. Bye. - Bye.
Start the car. - Okay, sir.
Stop. He insulted you. Why did you spare him?
You must have thrashed him.
We both are not of the same caliber.
Do you want us to lose our self esteem by talking back?
But he dared to compare Rasthi with the cow.
Do you want me to humiliate Rasathi by arguing with him?
Go. We will meet tomorrow. - Alright. I will go now.
I will definitely beat him one day.
Rasathi, are you cutting onions?
I have been roaming since morning.
I am very hungry. What have you cooked?
Oh God.
I am hungry. Serve me food.
Why are you crying?
Look.
He was angry that we did not buy his cow. So he spoke that way.
Why are you taking it seriously?
It has been many years since we got married.
Will they dare to speak like that if I had borne a child for you?
Look, people will gossip.
A child will surely be born to us.
Will you please take me to hospital?
We must have self-belief.
We will have a child.
Take me to hospital.
Alright. We will go.
Everything is normal.
I told the same thing.
But she is worried that we do not have a child.
You only advice her, doctor.
How long have you been married?
Four years.
Just four years. Definitely you will give birth to a child.
Shall I take a test?
No need. I will if that can satisfy you.
Then write a test for me also.
No, doctor. Only for me.
Okay. I will write for both of you.
Have faith. You will definitely have a child.
Give that.
Hey! Rasathi!
Only I will take the test. No need for you.
Alright.
Dear...
Just as you believe that I have no problem
I also believe that you do not have any problem.
No use of talking to you.
You could have said this before.
We wasted our time unnecessarily.
Sister-in-law. - Come.
Where is Thangamuthu?
He is in the backyard garden. What is the matter?
Nothing I had promised to send cattle to Kerala.
One cow is short. So I came to buy that sick cow.
I will speak to Thangamuthu.
Are you sending it to Kerala for beef?
Yes. Will anyone buy a sick cow to take care of it?
Thangamuthu. - Come.
Give that sick cow. I will buy it.
I was short of one cow. So I came to buy your sick cow.
Look, do not come to my house again with the same intention.
I thought you will give it to me because
that cow has not borne a calf since long.
Will you push any of your family members out if they are sick?
I do not mean that.
Get out of here before I scold you.
Thangamuthu, I did not mean that way.
Do not explain. You may leave the place.
Get going.
I came to do business but you are adamant.
He cannot survive.
Dear!
What?
Will you take me to temple?
Where? To Valliarasal?
No. - Then where?
To Mambarai.
To Muniappan temple? - Yes.
You cannot enter that temple. Why do you want to go there?
Take me.
Tell me the reason.
I will not tell. Take me.
Take me. - Alright. We will go tomorrow.
Okay?
'Women devotes are not allowed to go beyond this point'
Tell me now. Why did you want to come here?
You go inside, worship with flowers and get God's blessings.
What should I ask God?
Ask whether a child will be born to us or not.
Go and ask. Go.
Doctor has told and even I have told you.
But still you are behaving like this.
Wait. I will go and come back.
Priest, I want to worship with flowers and seek God's blessings.
Let us start. Pray for your wish.
Alright.
O God! His wish must be fulfilled.
Pray now.
Did you get it?
Show.
Did you pick this flower? - Yes.
Really?
Promise.
What did you pray?
I asked, what did you pray to God?
I asked whether we will have a child this year.
How many pipes have you drilled?
40. Still 10 more to be drilled. - Do it fast.
Brother. - What?
You are getting good water, right?
Yes, we should get. We must drill to get water.
All wells have become dry.
No problem if the wells have become dry.
We get lot of water from bore wells.
We can dig as may holes as we want to earn money.
Dear.
What?
What is it?
She is calling me.
Tell me.
Are you pregnant?
"My dear, your cheeks are turning red"
"My darling, is it the color of motherhood?"
"My dear, your cheeks are turning red"
"My darling, is it the color of motherhood?"
"You are like the moon"
"That grows each day."
"Our wishes will be fulfilled"
"and a child will be born to us."
"This is the time, we will become parents."
"My dear, your cheeks are turning red"
"My darling, is it the color of motherhood?"
"Got a gold bar in this dry forest."
"O my dear, ask for a gift."
"You are the God"
"Who gave me this treasure."
"You are my gift"
"I do not need anything else."
"My love, you have a life within you now eat my share also"
"Is there any medicine better than dry ginger?"
"Is any relative superior to you?"
"You should take care of me during delivery like my mother."
"Must teach the baby Tamil, our mother tongue"
"along with the milk that I feed it."
"The entire village must see it and appreciate"
"must study about cows while studying other subjects."
"Education and agriculture"
"are like two eyes"
"Must cradle him in the swing"
"Must bring him up as a good son"
"A light is growing in you"
"It is the light of our family"
"The baby will be born in ten months"
"May he lead a good life"
"My dear, your cheeks are turning red"
"My darling, is it the color of motherhood?"
"You are like the moon"
"Our wishes will be fulfilled"
"and a child will be born to us."
"This is the time we will become parents."
Dear, start the motor. - Okay.
Buddy. - Tell me.
The agent who provides employment is standing near the society.
Shall we go and meet him?
I am advising you not to go for a job.
Why do you call me? Get lost.
I have no job here.
I will get a bride if I go out of this place.
Will anyone go out of his native to get married?
Do cattle rearing and agriculture here.
I will find a girl for you to marry.
This is an arid land without any rains.
What will you answer if anyone asks about my profession?
Keep the vessel. I will carry it.
Answer me. What will I answer if they ask for my profession?
Say you are a doctor for cattle. - Shut up. Do not joke.
Dear! - What is it?
Only the motor is running. No water.
But water was coming out just now. - Very less water is coming.
Alas!
No water.
It has been 10 days since we watered the plants.
Still it is dry and the water level has not come up.
How will you get water?
Our well is only 40 ft deep.
That man has drilled bore wells and drawn the entire water.
How will the water level deplete here if he drills bore well there?
He is not digging under.
He is digging sideways and draws the entire water.
Come. Let us talk to him.
He insulted us the other day.
Why should we talk to him now? - We must go because we are in need.
Will he listen if you say?
He is also a farmer like us.
He will agree.
I do not believe it.
I am sure there will be some problem today.
I have to go and meet the agent who employs people.
What type of job will you get?
Will I not get a peon's job? - Come we will talk to them first.
A bird in hand is worth two in the bush.
Send water van only if they pay money.
Do not send if paid by cheque or on some leader's recommendation.
Alright. Take once it is filled. - Okay, sir.
Did you not call him?
Sir, I said four vans have come.
I planned to come after those vans left.
Hey, take money before you give water.
Do not give without money.
He is talking arrogantly.
Keep quiet. I will talk to him.
Leave the van near Murugesan's house after supplying water.
Alright. - Many vans are standing in queue.
Tell the driver to start the van. - Okay, sir.
Thangamuthu, come. How are you?
I do not have cows to sell now.
I have not come for that.
If you sell water like this, what will we do for farming?
I did not spoil your livelihood.
Our well was full of water once upon a time.
Now it is dry and full of mud.
The wells around here have dried up because of your bore well.
You have dug bore well up to 300 ft
deep towards the side and drawn the full water.
How will we get water?
We do not get rains also.
I needed money when you refused to buy the cow on the other day.
But I did not find fault with you.
Today I need money and so I am selling it. What is wrong in it?
Sir, what is Thangamuthu saying?
Keep quiet.
Let us discuss between us.
People in urban areas have drawn their entire ground water.
Now when they do not have water, they have come here to draw.
If you also draw water from here and sell for them, how will we survive?
You are filling up their swimming pools
and helping them take shower bath.
But we do not have water for our basic needs.
I am not saying because my well has no water.
All the wells here, including yours, will turn dry.
If you stop drawing excess water for a few days,
water level will raise in all wells.
Look, I have not borrowed money from the local people
and dug bore well here.
And I have not dug in public property.
This is my place and my water.
I will draw any amount of water and sell to anyone I want.
You also dig a bore well if you want.
Or make arrangements to dig the well deeper.
Do not talk other things.
Get going. Why are you pleading with this fellow?
No place for justice here.
He has suggested an idea. We will handle it.
Do not talk. Go away from here.
You do not behave like a human.
We will teach you a lesson. - They will shout like this.
Let us go and do our job. - Come.
Natives are suffering here but an outsider is enjoying.
He is a cold hearted person.
I made a mistake by asking him.
He is selling water for profit.
Isn't there anyone to question him?
Why are you angry for that?
Do we have to bear all his tantrums?
You eat.
Shall I serve some more?
The pregnant cow is hungry and is mooing. I cannot bear it.
Grass has also dried up without water.
Shall we ask for some corn fodder from Rasu?
What happened?
Your son is kicking me.
Father cannot do it.
My darling, kick well.
Oh, do not eat then.
Okay. Do not want. - Oh no. Eat.
Rasu!
Come, Thangamuthu.
I have been calling you since yesterday.
My phone is broken. Have to buy a new one.
Why are you working on cotton balls? Are you doing some new business?
Got the cotton balls from mill.
I am cleaning it. What do you want?
Came here to buy corn feed and dry hay for my pregnant cow.
It is difficult without any fodder.
You do not know my situation.
I have stopped selling corn feed and hay since one month.
They said cotton can be fed to cow.
So I am selling it.
Take as much as you want.
What?! How can cotton from mills be fed to cattle?
No other way. This is the only way to save the cattle in this drought.
Do not feed cotton to the cattle.
What will you do if it harms the cattle?
I gave to some people. Their cattle are fine.
What is the difference between a cow that eats wall posters in city
and our cow if we feed them cotton balls?
What can I do?
I will go.
Wait. Take a few sacks.
Let him go. I gave him an idea to save his cow.
But he feels I am trying to kill it.
Rasathi! - Yes dear.
Give me the phone - Wait, I will give.
Are you eating raw food because you want your son
to be more intelligent than his father?
Do not taunt me.
Who are you calling?
Moolanur Iyan. - Why?
To leave the cows to graze in their land for 2 months.
Are you going to leave Lakshmi also?
No. Other cows except Lakshmi.
Hello! - Sir is calling. Sir...
Tell me, Thangamuthu. - I want a favor.
Tell me.
The cows are hungry without anything to eat.
Can you allow them to graze in your farm for two months?
No problem. You can send them to graze.
I am planning to sell the farm.
The cows can graze here till the deal is done.
Once it is sold, you must take back the cows.
Okay, sir. - Okay.
What did he say?
He told me to leave the cows there.
Let them stay there for two months.
Sir, we will start in ten minutes.
Come fast. We can return by evening.
I will come now. Rasathi! - Coming.
Van has arrived. Let us load the cattle.
Coming. - Come.
Why do you look worried?
The place looks empty without the cattle.
Do not be sad.
I feel bad.
Instead of killing the cows by feeding
Instead of killing the cows by feeding them cotton balls
I left them in a distant place so that they will lead a good life.
Situation will not be the same.
If we get rains, everything will be solved.
Sleep now.
Dear...
I am talking to you.
What are you thinking?
Rasathi, let us deepen the well.
How will we arrange for money?
I will enquire about the cost and then talk to the moneylender.
Are the cows and calves good?
It is a bad time for all of us.
So I came to see you.
Do you need any money?
Yes, sir.
Well has dried up.
We have no water to feed the cow.
I am planning to dig the well further.
Your land is on the roadside.
If you sell two acres, your problem will be solved.
That land belongs to temple trust.
I can only live there.
Oh! Is that so?
How much money do you want?
If you give me twenty thousand rupees, I will deepen the well.
But...
But I do not have anything to pledge.
I believe you and will give you money.
Say when you can repay the principal.
You must pay interest within due date.
You must not fail.
I will not fail.
I will return in six months.
Alright.
Wait. I will bring.
Count it. - It will be correct.
Alright. Go and do your job.
Everything will end up well.
See you, sir.
Please do your job, sir.
Hope it is for good. - Alright. I will do the job.
Take out the crowbars. Take it.
Hey Rasathi. - What?
Why are you working?
Come here. - What?
I told you not to work.
Sit here.
I can work only now.
You can do when I am not there.
How is Lakshmi?
It is now alone without other cows. So she is refusing to eat.
Close your mouth.
I will give water to it.
Where are you going with a bag?
I have got a job. So I am leaving this place.
We were thinking you are just joking.
Are you really leaving this place?
Yes. Agent called me yesterday night.
He told me to start early in the morning.
So I am going.
I will go and inform you about the job there.
You also come.
We will not leave this place.
Who are you calling?
He is leaving this place. - Even I heard it.
You have decided and you will not listen to me.
Take care.
Give money.
You are going before seeing my baby.
I will come back with a gold chain.
Why are you giving me money? Buddy...
You are leaving our place. Better go with our money.
Okay. - Do not forget us.
Okay. Bye dear.
Bye sister. Take care. - You take care of yourselves.
See you. Bye. - Go.
He will not pay heed to our words.
I pity him. What will he do there alone?
Tell me, sir.
Are you fine, Thangamuthu? - Yes, sir.
Have you arranged for fodder to the cattle?
I am arranging it.
I told you that I am selling the land.
That time has come now.
I am selling next month.
Please take back your cattle.
No problem, sir. You helped me to the maximum extent.
I will bring them back.
Do not mistake me. Why are you suffering with so many cattle?
Keep one or two and sell the rest.
Do not suffer. - How can I sell, sir?
I brought up the cattle like my children.
If I sell now, the buyer will buy for a low price.
How can I sell them when I know that they will be butchered?
But you need fodder to feed them.
Okay. Plan something. - Alright, sir.
Hey! Lakshmi!
Rasathi!
- What?
Walk gently. - What is it?
Has Lakshmi delivered a calf?
Come. I will tell. Gently.
Has the water started flowing in the well?
Slowly.
What is it? - Carefully.
Playing with me?
Did you see?
Lakshmi!
Hold them.
Sanmugam, drill up to two feet. Only then we can keep the explosive.
Okay, sir.
Keep the cracker inside and come up fast.
Why are you slow?
Thangamuthu, come. All of you come and drink tea.
Give it.
We have kept the explosives. - Right, sir.
We can explode it soon.
Dear, come here. - Just a minute, sir.
Go and see. - Come and drink tea.
What happened? - I have pain.
Shall we go to hospital?
No need. It is like an ordinary pain.
Doctor told me to come day after. - But if you get pain at night?
I will be fine if I drink some warm cumin water.
It will be a problem if you get pain at night.
We will go. Start now. No need.
Give me the phone. Rasathi, give the phone.
I will tell Banu to come here.
Hello. - Sister, Rasathi is in pain.
Take her to hospital. I will follow. - Okay sister.
Hope there is no problem at home.
Nothing. My wife is in labor pain.
I will take her to hospital.
I will burst the explosive. You go.
I will take care.
The cow has delivered calf today morning.
I will tie it in some other place. I will handle. You go.
It will jump if a newcomer tries to touch it.
Shall we explode in the morning?
Shanmugam, have you kept the wick?
Yes, sir, I have kept. Why?
Alright. Come up. We will burst it tomorrow morning.
Thangamuthu, why are you tensed?
The cow has delivered two calves,
your child is going to be born and water will start flowing.
Don't worry. Be happy. Everything will be fine.
Okay, sir. Please take care. I will go now.
Okay. - Alright. Go.
Just keep the explosives. We can burst it tomorrow.
It is cloudy. Will have problem if there is thunder.
But he wants us to postpone it. What can we do? Let us go.
Gently.
Is it paining? - No, dear.
Rasathi, is your due date today?
No doctor. Day after tomorrow.
But she got pain suddenly and so I brought her.
Is it paining here? - Slightly.
Here? - Yes.
Do you have pain here? - Yes.
Do not be scared.
No problem. Admit her today. - Okay.
Call me if she has pain.
Alright doctor. - Right?
Dear, Lakshmi has delivered calves today.
Go and give food and water to it.
Looks like it may rain.
How can I leave you and go?
Go. - Listen.
I am here. I will take care. You go. - What I mean is...
Go and see Lakshmi. While coming bring some clothes to me to change.
Please go.
You go. Do not get scared. I will take care.
Alright. Take care.
Lakshmi!
Thangamuthu!
Tell me, sister. - A son is born to you.
Your son is healthy.
How is Rasathi? - She is fine.
The baby looks exactly like you. Come soon.
Okay sister. I will come now.
What are you thinking?
Thinking whether I can take back the bulls with this money?
That is why he took away the bulls.
Hello!
Let me give this money.
He will not give.
I will request him once more.
He may give.
He would have given that day itself if he wished it.
Just keep quiet. - No
His situation might have been different on that day.
I have told my opinion.
Now it is your wish. Do as you want.
I am going home.
How will she eat if she pays off the entire money towards interest?
I hope she listens to me.
Grandma, take.
That bull? - Yes.
Does it pass cow dung?
Yes, but it is watery.
Is it? I will check. - Okay.
Is sir there?
Please wait. I will inform him.
Mother, is the coffee hot?
Yes. - Okay.
Sir.
What?
Doctor has come to examine the cattle. - Okay...
Rasathi has come with her son to see you.
I will drink coffee and come.
Ask her to wait. - Okay, sir.
I have to meet the doctor before he leaves.
I will tell him, sir. - Okay, sir.
Rasathi, how come you are here so early?
Have you brought the interest money?
No. About my bull...
Wait. I will meet the doctor and then come.
Muruga, it is getting late.
Go to school. I will manage. - No, I will be here.
You are getting late. I will meet him and come.
No. I will also stay here.
What happened to the bull? I examined it.
Found plastic cover.
I have removed it. It will be fine in two days.
Tell me if it doesn't recover. - Okay.
Our people do not follow government rules.
Plastics and glass pieces are thrown everywhere.
Then how will the cows eat grass?
The bull would have died if you had delayed by another four days.
Kumar. - Yes, sir.
Listen to doctor and give the medicines in time.
Okay, sir.
Rasathi, tell me.
I will pay the money in a few days.
Have you not brought the interest money?
I am suffering without the bulls.
If you give them back, I will drive the cart and repay your loan.
Rasathi, you have borrowed money from me on interest.
Have I ever disrespected you for that? No.
In the same way, you return the principal
and interest money to maintain your self - respect.
Sir... - The matter ends here.
Please be magnanimous and return the two bulls.
I will drive cart and return the loan.
Our livelihood will suffer without those bulls.
Everybody's livelihood in this village is suffering.
I am not bothered.
Return the principal and interest. You can take back your bulls.
Have you understood the story?
Yes miss. - Okay. Tomorrow all of you must finish homework
and submit the workbook.
Ask me if you have any doubt. Okay?
Rasathi, do not come for work tomorrow.
Go and check your health.
No problem, sister.
What happened mother? - Nothing. It is ordinary fever.
Mother, did you take medicines?
Look, son is worried about his mother's health.
Your mother is only worried about the bulls.
Keep quiet.
Nothing dear. Wash and come.
We will eat.
Why are you talking about the cattle in front of him?
What happened? - He will feel bad.
Sister, I am worried that they will sell the bulls.
Don't worry. It will not happen.
Eat.
Do not go for work if you are not well.
I didn't go today. If I do not go tomorrow, I will lose my job.
I will be fine after a good sleep.
Eat now.
I saw the bulls today morning.
Felt that it is pleading with me to take it back immediately.
We will bring back the cattle soon.
Okay. Do not worry.
Eat. - I do not want.
Muruga, do not keep worrying about the bulls.
Go to school. Okay?
'Sister, I am scared they will sell the cows'
Muruga, why have you come running?
I saw in the morning. The bulls were not there.
I thought you have sold them.
No. Sir told me to check whether they can drive cart.
I have checked.
Tell mother to take back the bulls soon.
Sir may sell them off.
Hey, come.
Rasathi, come. Are you fine?
Muruga, are you going to school?
Yes, grandpa. - Do you want anything, Rasathi?
Uncle, I could not pay interest since 3 months.
The moneylender has taken away the bulls.
I have no means of livelihood. If you can give some money...
Do not ask me for money.
Your husband was only interested
in agriculture and cattle rearing when he was alive.
Even you are doing the same thing.
Why are you staying outskirts alone?
Why don't you come to this area?
Can you earn your livelihood by driving bullock cart?
It is a shame for our family.
My husband lived in that house.
I will live there in his memory.
I cannot leave that house and come.
You do not listen to my advice.
But come here for money.
A person leads a life as per his destiny.
I cannot control anything.
I do not have money. Will give if I have.
Brother!
Come, Rasathi. Are you fine? - Yes.
Muruga, come. Which standard are you studying?
8th std. - Okay.
Tell me, Rasathi.
Brother, I need a big favor from you.
What?
I borrowed money from the moneylender.
Now he is threatening to sell the bulls if I do not repay the money.
Please help me.
Rasathi.
Our livelihood is in deep trouble.
We are struggling to even earn a penny.
But you are going to different houses with
your school going son and pleading for money.
Forget about the bulls and try to earn.
Brother, they are not just some cattle.
They are a part of our family.
They are the two calves that were born on
the same day when Murugan was born.
The cattle have been our life after my husband's death.
Please help me.
Rasathi, do not mistake me.
Anytime you can come and stay in my house with Murugan and eat food.
I will pay his school fees.
Let us not have any other dealings.
Our relationship will suffer.
"Humans have cheate"
"Rain has played tricks with us"
"God has betrayed us"
"But cattle have never let us down."
"Humans have cheate"
"Rain has played tricks with us"
"God has betrayed us"
"But cattle have never let us down."
Muruga, go to school. I will manage.
You have been asking people since morning but no one gave.
You do not worry.
We will find a way.
You go. I will handle it.
Rasathi, why are you crying?
Don't worry. We will find a way.
Did you brother say that debt spoils relationship?
We will not cease to be relatives because he has not helped me.
Nobody can change you. - Sister.
I am scared I will lose the cattle.
Our life will be shattered if I lose them.
I do not know what to do.
Please get me a job.
Shall we ask the agent who comes to our village?
Who?
He finds job to the boys here but outside this village.
He must be here today. We will go and ask him.
Do not cry. We will go and meet him.
Listen, we have to start 1o clock on Friday.
Whoever I have selected come here.
Monday is an auspicious day. You can join duty on that day.
Is it clear? - Yes, sir.
What is your age? - 12 years.
Will you do any kind of job? - Yes, sir.
Till which standard have you studied? - 6th std.
Sir, what type of job will I get?
President's job is vacant. Will you take over?
You have studied only till 6th.
Do not talk with pride. Go and register your name.
I will do it. - Go.
What do you want? Not for this boy. She needs a job.
Brother, I want a job. He is studying.
No, we do not get job women.
We get job only for boys in a corporate or mill.
We do not get jobs for women.
I will come. How much will I get?
For you?
Including overtime you will get Rs 12 for a month.
I will come, sir. - Hey! Keep quiet.
Do not act smart. You need not go. - They are arguing.
Mother, I will go. - No. You should not go.
Rasathi, salary is good.
You can repay the debt if he works for a few months.
Do you want me to sit idle when he is working?
I will not agree.
I will work in a mill and repay the loan.
Come. - Rasathi, wait.
No need. - Wait.
He should not go for job.
How dare you say that you will stop studying and go for work?
I will not agree. - Rasathi!
How dare you say that you will go for work? - Do not scold him.
I spoke like that for your good. - No need.
Do not ever say that you will go for work.
Muruga!
Muruga, come. We will eat.
Muruga, why are you not coming?
Muruga, I have been calling you since long.
Come and eat.
I do not want. - Come and eat.
I said I do not want.
What do you want now?
I will go for work with that agent.
No need.
Then what to do for money?
I will manage.
I saw you pleading to various persons
since morning but no one gave.
It is our responsibility to take back our cattle.
I will go to work with him.
Why are you adamant about going when I am against it?
No need.
I will go whether you agree or not.
Will you go?
Are you going?
Go...
Our son must study well.
Have you decided it will be a son?
Yes. - How?
I know.
He need not work in a city after studies.
It is my wish that he becomes an agricultural and organic farmer
like Nammalvar and work in our village.
We will do it.
Muruga!
Muruga! Muruga!
Muruga!
Why are you doing this, my dear?
You are sitting on a well wall. Come.
Mother, I will go for work.
You want to go for work.
But how can I live without you.
Shall we go to temple tomorrow
and find out God's wish by picking flower?
Okay. Come and eat now.
Pray to God. He will bless you.
Which color flower did you pick?
Red color.
Where is the flower?
I left it inside.
Did you really pick the red flower?
Yes.
Let us go. Come.
Take care of mother.
I will.
You eat properly and stay safe there.
Right?
Bus has come.
Rasathi, he has come.
Come.
Hey, come fast.
Man Singh. - Yes, sir.
Check everyone and make them sit inside. - Okay, sir.
Board them in the bus. - Whoever has given name get inside.
Board them.
Come on.
Sir, this boy.
Do you need special invitation? Get in.
Get in.
Come here.
What? - Please take him for work.
You were not willing to send him yesterday.
But today you want me to take him. - She is not willing even now.
But he is adamant and wants to go.
I cannot take unwilling people.
Please do not say like that.
I have to take his medical test
buy ticket and speak to the company officials.
How can I take him all of a sudden?
His family situation is very bad. Please help.
Only you are talking. The boy's mother is silent.
No.
He is my only son.
We have never gone out of this place.
Please get him a good job.
Take care of him.
If he doesn't go for work, you will forever be in difficulty.
Do not be so emotional.
Alright. I will arrange.
I will take him.
Brother, his family is in difficulty.
Please give some advance money.
Oh.
I think I have to run a reserve bank to solve your problems. Alright.
Hey! Come here. - Sir.
Keep the money here.
Take five thousand rupees.
Tell your mother to count it.
Man Singh. - Yes, sir.
Note down her number and give her my phone number. - Alright, sir.
Madam, you should not call often and disturb him.
You must call only for important matters.
Right?
Sister, take the number.
Okay, sir.
I will speak later.
Some people have come to see me.
I will call after discussing with them. Hang up now.
Sir, greetings.
Rasathi, I told you to pay back the money and take your bulls.
Why are you coming here often?
I have brought the interest money.
Have you brought money? Give.
Where is Murugan?
He has gone out of town.
Has he gone out of town?
No. He has gone out for work.
I will repay the principal soon and take back my cattle.
Please do not sell them in haste.
My son will send money soon.
I will return your cattle when you pay the principal.
You must return it back. Please...
Arrange for the money. - Okay, sir.
Welcome, sir. Did you come now? - Greetings, sir.
Greetings. Take your seat.
Robert Singh! - Hello, sir.
Sit.
How many persons have you brought?
Sir, no good boys this time.
I brought ten boys. But they are not good.
Robert Singh, stop speaking in Hindi.
Speak in Tamil.
Those boys are unruly.
I left them in the other camp.
I see. Then you have come to take your old commission. Right?
I have brought a personal assistant for you.
A very good boy. He is standing outside.
A personal assistant for me? - Yes.
Why?
He is a young boy. He will work fast. Good boy.
Have you come here to leave some boy here and take your commission?
No. I am not bothered about commission.
I am working since your father was alive.
Do not want commission.
Let this boy work for you for a month.
If you do not like him, return him back to me. Right?
Okay, Salman. Tell him to come.
Just a minute.
Muruga, come in. Come.
Come. - Sultan speaking.
Where is Jay Singh?
Lot of work is pending. Tell him to come soon.
Want to meet today.
He is the boy.
Robert Singh.
What happened? - He is a small boy.
He will work responsibly.
I am confident. He will be a good security for you.
Alright. Let him stay.
Sir. - Yes.
Stay outside. I will call you. Go.
Take your commission.
I am not bothered about commission.
Our friendship is very tight.
Yes.
Alright. See you. - Bye.
Thank you. Thanks.
Come here.
Come with me.
Greetings.
Why are you wishing me?
Gabbar Singh, come here. - Yes, sir.
Listen.
He will take care of you from now.
He is a small boy. - Yes, sir.
Take care of him. - Okay, sir.
Okay. - Okay, sir.
Go with him.
Go. - Come.
You get in.
Do not stand like an army man.
Drive.
Brother.
Who is that?
I am unable to understand.
Are you Tamil? - Yes.
Which is your native? - Kollakarai.
Keep your bag and start work.
Water. - It is there. Drink and go.
What are you looking at?
It is dirty.
Brother. - Yes.
I want to shower. - You can shower after work.
Come.
Muruga, come here fast.
Carry this box and drop it in that.
Got it go.
Hey, do your work.
Do I have to tell everyone here?
I am paying you.
What are you thinking of?
I could not sleep the whole night.
I do not know his condition. Do not know whether he ate or slept.
I made a grave mistake.
I should not have sent him.
Look, though he is a small boy, he is intelligent.
You must be happy that he is responsible.
He must be leading a good life.
Do not worry
Do your work.
Sister, I want to talk to Murugan.
Can you get phone from the mason?
I feel embarrassed to ask him.
Come.
You do not come regularly. - I was not well.
But you want salary to be paid at the right time.
Alright. Come regularly for work from tomorrow
Okay, sir.
Mason. - Do I have to repeat it to you?
What? - Rasathi's son has gone out of town for a job.
She wants to speak. Will you give your phone?
Sure. Rasathi, you could have asked.
Will I refuse to give phone if I ask you?
Speak and come soon. I will go.
Start the truck fast. Go.
Fast.
Hello, who is that?
I am Murugan's mother.
Is Murugan there? - Just a minute.
Muruga, come here.
Your mother is speaking.
Finish talking soon. Okay?
Hello. -Muruga.
Are you fine?
I am good.
How are you? Take care of your health.
I am good. Did you eat?
Why are you suffering there? Come back.
We will manage here.
I will come back in four months.
Do not worry about me.
No. Come back now.
Muruga, come fast. Cut the call and come.
Mason is calling me. I will go.
Alright. I will call later.
Please take.
Son, bring the plate.
Hey, eat.
I do not like this.
This is our food. Eat it.
I am not used to eating this.
You must get used to this food, this place and work.
Do not waste it. Eat.
Do your work.
Are you hearing me?
"O my son, I held you in my heart"
"Now you are in my mind"
"O my son, I carried you in my womb"
"Now you are in my eyes"
"When I carried you in my womb"
"I could see you within ten months."
"Now I am carrying you in my heart"
"When will I see you?"
"My cattle is not there to call me"
"And I cannot call you my son, as you are not there near me"
"O my son, I held you in my heart"
"Now you are in my mind"
"O my son, I carried you in my womb"
"Now you are in my eyes"
"Sold my family God to save my family honor"
"Pledged my dear cattle due to poverty"
"Sold my family God to save my family honor"
"Pledged my dear cattle due to poverty"
"Are you drinking porridge or staying hungry"
"Are you carrying stones and your hands are bruised?"
"Are you sleeping out of tiredness?"
"Or are you sleeping after crying?"
"And searching for mother?"
"O my son, I held you in my heart"
"Now you are in my mind"
"O my son, I carried you in my womb"
"Now you are in my eyes"
"When I carried you in my womb"
"I could see you within ten months."
"Now I am carrying you in my heart"
When will I see you?"
Why did you go without wearing slippers?
Some other boy wore my slippers.
You could have asked him.
I was scared.
If anyone takes your things, tell me. I will ask.
Is it paining? - No, sir.
Want to speak to mother.
Do you have a phone?
No, Muruga.
I have no one to talk to.
I do not wish to speak to anyone.
Even to your parents?
I do not know if they are alive.
I troubled them a lot.
You came here for job.
I left my house and took up a job here.
It has been twenty years.
You do not work here.
I will send you in train without anyone's knowledge.
Go back to your mother.
No.
I will work here.
I will take back our cattle with the money they give here
My mother is struggling there.
I will work here.
Muruga, why are you sitting here without working?
Lot of work is pending.
Do not sit here. Lazy.
Go and work. Go.
Leave him. What are you doing?
He is a small boy.
His leg is hurt. Can't you see?
How will he work?
Mathai, do not interfere in my work.
I will talk to the owner. You go and do your work.
Go away.
I will handle you later.
Rascal!
Hello.
Is Murugan there?
Who?
Murugan. Murugan?
Murugan? Wait.
Muruga!
Hello, mother.
How are you, dear?
I am good.
Why is your voice shaky?
What happened dear? - Nothing.
Are you fine? - Yes.
There are dark clouds here and it is raining.
It is going to rain heavily
Okay. I will send money when I get salary.
Dear, shall I ask the moneylender to return the bulls?
No. He will not agree.
We will repay the full money and bring back the cattle.
Hello, Muruga.
Stop the bus.
Stop it, I say.
You are not able to do farming here and there is no underground water.
Send your children and earn money.
Do not be adamant.
Another agent took Chellamuthu's son with the same promise.
But he did not have a penny when he came back.
Agent took all the money.
Do not compare me with that agent. We are not the same.
Hey, will you come?
He...
He has come from Bihar.
Why are you calling him to his place?
I am doing this as a service so that our boys can earn some money.
Are you suspecting me?
I am unable to understand it.
Brother.
Rasathi, come. I wanted to see you. Meanwhile you have come.
What happened? - It is a good thing.
Give the bag.
Your son has sent salary.
Take it.
Never mind. It has been 3 months since I spoke to Murugan.
I called the number that you gave. There is no response.
I called you but you also did not respond.
Did you call me?
Yes, I took some persons to Singapore.
You called me at that time and so I did not respond.
Take the money.
I sent him for work for the sake of money.
I am getting money but he has not come.
He earned to pay off the debt and now he has repaid the debt.
He must be thinking that all his difficulties will be solved
if he stays there for some more time.
No. His education will be affected.
I sent him for work because he was adamant.
I have never lived without him.
Tell him to come back immediately.
You must be pestering him to return back whenever you called.
So he must have avoided your call. Take money.
No. Tell him to come back soon.
He is earning money. What is the need for education?
You must be proud to have a son like Murugan. Do not be upset.
Take the money. - No. I cannot stay without him.
Do you think he is happy there without you?
I will bring him back when I go there next time.
Take this money. Take.
Brother. - Yes.
Please tell him to call me.
I will bring him along with me. Why should he call you?
You go and repay your debt.
I will bring him back. Okay?
You go from here.
Sir, when will you take my son? - I cannot take him.
Please take him. - No. I will not.
Are you tempted after seeing the money?
You were talking about your rights.
We have to start on Friday at 1o clock.
All those selected by me must be here.
Monday is an auspicious day. You can join duty.
Okay? - Okay, sir.
Do not speak arrogantly. Take.
Am I not aware of democracy?
You will understand only when you go to north and plead with them.
Arrange for inspection.
Do it fast. - Sir!
How long will you take? - Sir!
Greetings, sir. - I will speak later.
Why did you call me urgently?
An accident happened.
What sort of accident?
No, mother. He will not agree.
We will get money in a few days.
We will pay money and bring back the cattle.
Sir! - Have you come here to speak over phone?
Kabir Singh! - Yes, sir.
Give the phone.
Take the diesel can. - Yes, sir.
Carry it up.
Why did you give the phone during working time?
Sorry, sir. - Keep it inside.
Hey, why are you going there?
You will reach only in the evening. Climb on the belt and go up.
How are you? Are you okay?
I will come after a month.
I cannot come now. - Start the machine.
Alright.
Stop it.
Did you murder him?
Robert Singh, looks like you will tell others that it is a murder.
What else is it? What else?
He is the only son to his mother.
Can I tell her about this?
I bring people here for job because they are in financial difficulty.
But how can you murder someone and say it is an accident?
I cannot tell her. Will you come and tell?
There will be a caste riot. They will stab me.
I cannot go back to my native.
Will you come there and say that he died of accident?
Kabir Singh! - Yes, sir.
Take five lakh rupees. This is for his family.
This is for you.
Is the amount correct?
Yes, Rasathi. Will you take your bulls?
Kumar! - Yes, sir.
Untie the bulls. - Okay, sir.
Go and take. - Thank you, sir.
My dear!
Murugan will be happy to see you.
Are you searching for my son?
Murugan will come back soon.
This is for you and this one is for you.
Kanda and Kadamba!
Murugan will come later.
Shall I tie this to you?
'The service to this dialed number has been temporarily switched off'
"Will he come? I am waiting to receive him"
"I gave up my life to earn money"
"If the money got by selling my flesh is insufficient"
"I will sell my bones. Wait for me, mother"
"Wait for me, mother"
