I am reporting 'live' from Devanakottai limit
To watch this incident of exiling Anbu from his hometown
A whole village is assembling here
- Akka, where are you off to? - My niece is getting married
I'm the only one who can organize everything
They are exiling a boy from our village
Whaaat? Really?!
One chap is being exiled
Why go to school instead of watching this first time event?
'I am Anbu'
'If you should know why I am being exiled'
'You should first know about my village'
'Why should you be respected?'
'Who are you? What kind of people are you?'
Don't we know how you were when you came here first?
'Drag it'
- We will erect a fence - Get lost!
- You think we we'll keep quiet? - I will chop you to bits
[clamor of voices]
Pull, man
'Let me see how any of you cross this barricade'
'Try your luck I challenge you'
'This is my father Ulaganathan'
'Older than me of course'
- What is this? - Fence
Why do we need a fence in between people?
That's why we've erected it in the center of our village
How will they come this side?
They have a hand too in erecting this fence, sir
They have-
Move...move aside
Hey! What is all this?
Sir, his son eloped with my daughter, sir
He belongs to a different caste
How can I face my community?
I raised my child with so much love & care
I never denied her anything
Dress, chocolate, marshmallow Now she has runaway with some fellow
Even I had built castles about my son's future wife
I don't even dream outside of my caste!
Understand our feelings
Hey!
What bloody feelings?
Onion peels as feelings!
If a nurse had changed babies by mistake, when you were born
All your feelings will support a different caste and religion
You'll be standing on this side of the fence instead
Your lifelong feelings is in the hands of a nurse
Sir, I am 'home delivery'
Who is that 'home delivery'?
Who is c/o midwife!
Listen, how can caste be important?
I told them right then Religion is equally important too!
Sir, no one will change their stand listening to your speech
Please leave, sir We can handle this
Come here
- Show me your hand - No need, sir
You have scarred me once already
That was to endorse 'All religions are equal'
You slit my palm the day before
Not to discriminate the rich and the poor
- Why now, sir? - For a casteless society
- Give me your hand - Don't do it, sir
Please don't
- Show me your hand - Sir, don't
- Give it now - Sir...sir...sir
AIYA!
- What is the color of your blood? - Red, sir
- Yours? - Light pink, sir
What do you mean pink or red?
Blood is red for everyone
All men and women are born equal
- Understood - Did it enter all your heads?
Heyyyy!
- We understood, sir - We know now, sir
Only if we are happy our village will prosper
Only if our village prospers our State will flourish
If our State flourishes
Our district will thrive
Say 'nation'
Rise above pettiness Why do you go down?
'Aiyo!'
First push this fence down
Come on
Push the fence Push it down
Push...push hard
Push it Use more force
STOP IT!
I said 'stop it'
Sir is saying something
I can't keep repeating it
All of you push unitedly from the same side
Move over to one side
'My father is older than me not just in years'
'In intelligence too'
'He joined me in a school to make me as intelligent as him'
'Not as a student'
'Teacher!'
All of you keep quiet
Keep quiet
Students, listen
All of you keep quiet
Whose class is this?
Why are the children screaming?
Ma'am, social period
- Okay - Our Anbu sir's class
Where is Anbu?
'Break everyone's limbs'
'Isn't anyone here to save me?'
'If both of us should live together'
'Not enough if only you fall in love, Gopi'
Should the villain also fall in love?
Super!
That was me
They have seen me
Got caught, eh?
- Come with me to meet the principal - Okay, sir
- I need to tell her also - Tell her what?
Nothing, sir
You are shorter than the counter How did you get a ticket?
Online, sir
- Bought tickets online? - Yes, sir
You said you didn't have data to attend online class
How did you get data now?
How will you settle in life if you waste time like this?
You'll get married one day in the future, then...?
Don't feel shy!
I am the one who is feeling shy I came to watch a movie with you boys
Either you should be here or I should be here
No need, I'll go
Let's go in
Why are you going in there? Walk out of this theater
- Out you go - He has cut class and he's yelling at us!
Children should make their parents feel proud of them
[mobile ringing]
- Vanakkam, madam, tell me - Good afternoon, sir
Anbu is absent today
He isn't in school?
He has cut class to go and watch a film, sir
- Cinema? - He does this quite often
'He reviews for YouTubers watching First Day First Show'
'I'm being patient just for your sake, sir'
I'll handle this, madam Don't worry
Comb with broken teeth!
- Appa - Listen
I don't want to hear you call me 'appa'
- Uncle? - What do you mean 'uncle'?
You had the gall to elope and get married
Sir
Happily reunited, huh?
Come here, everyone
Come...come All of you, come here
Happy news, sir
Glad to hear you are a happy family again
Who got reunited?
I met them by chance in the market, that's all
You rolled out a soooper speech yesterday
Without caste discrimination a boy and a girl can get married
But you on the other hand
Got your daughter married to your sister's son
I didn't fix this alliance They got married without my consent
Don't pull a fast one on us
What did I tell her?
You can fall in love with whomever you want
But didn't I tell her not to choose a boy from the same caste?
'Did she follow my advice?'
We can 'follow' easily on Twitter or Instagram
How can anyone 'follow' your words, sir?
My daughter got married to a boy from another caste
You justified your stand and scarred my hand
- True - Pain in the neck!
Your own daughter insisted she will marry only your younger sister's son
You presided over the weddin-
- Hey...hey! - Wait, it's okay, sir
But the truth is you are a true social activist
- Am I right? - Yes...of course
Social activist Ulaganathan
Long live!
- Social activist Ulaganathan sir - Long live!
[slogan shouting]
'My father was so worried I will follow my sister's footsteps'
'Hailing from Devanakottai in Cuddalore district'
'Highly respected and free thinking intellectual'
'Grandson of the brave warrior, Mr Veluchamy'
Always integrity conscious responsible RDO who retired after serving his tenure duly
Mr Ulaganathan
That's me
I, Anbu, his only son
Affection Tender care
Fondness, love
For whatever reasons mentioned herewith
In the same religion Especially in the same caste
I will not choose a bride
I promise my father with utmost allegiance and respect
'Damn well sign'
'The only place I go to and my frequent haunt'
'The bakery owned by my friends in Pondicherry'
- 1 coffee - I'm very busy
1 coffee, da I'm running late
All I asked was coffee Just give it, damn!
I'm head deep in problems
- Huh? - 'Problems?'
'My friends'
'They will rush to my side if I have a problem'
'Not to solve it'
- 'To enjoy at my expense' - Tell us your problem
Share with us We care for you, dude
My sister Malar came home
Your dad and Malar fought
Am I right?
Did your dad disown Malar?
Then the new groom and your dad
Dishum-dishum!
'My life went on, mingling with such extraordinary people!'
'The reason it escalated to my exile'
'Just one love'
"Praise thou Tamizh beauteous youthful forever ingenious"
[Invocation of Tamil Mother]
"Praise be to Thee"
Good morning
We have a new English teacher who has joined duty today
Anbu sir, which movie are you booking today?
- Get lost! - Okay...okay
Her name is Jessica
Let's give her a welcome applause
What movie can I watch today?
'Joining as a teacher in this school'
'I feel very happy'
I'm from Cambridge
We are very happy to have you with us
'Jessica?'
It would be helpful if you can teach Social Science besides English too
Why, madam?
Don't we have a Social Science teacher?
As good as not being here
He's a waste fellow
He will cut his class and go watch some movie
Why, sir?
- Muthu? - Ma'am?
- Take Jessica to class 6A - Okay, madam
Why trouble Muthu? I can show her
- Please, this way - Look at that!
Look what he is up to now
Hi, I'm Anbu Social Science teacher
I know
- You're from France, right? - No, so what?
You speak Tamil beautifully Sounds so stylish coming from you
Actually
Tamil sounds beautiful only because of the way you speak
What do you want?
Can I have your mobile #?
Mobile #?
How can you ask?
Are you taking advantage of me because I'm a foreigner?
No sense whatsoever
How did you become a teacher?
Useless!
'Thank God no one saw this!'
Are you sure you want to sell your father's land?
Mum, you know my situation
You know my London restaurant's in debt
You've already sold everything we had
Let's keep this land
It's our only connection to India
Even if we live here for another 50 years
We'll still be foreigners to them
- Jessica - Hi dad
Where have you been, darling?
I was at school I've joined as a teacher
- Teacher? - Yes
Here?
We are all moving back to England once this land has been sold
Do you really want to live with these incorrigible Indians?
Are you serious?
It's okay, darling You know how he is
Do you implement any work properly?
You allow them to look into their books during exams
Then why do we need an exam?
Do you at least know the lay out of our class rooms?
Till now I've never set eyes on an irresponsible teacher like you
Madam, let's discuss this later
I'm not discussing I am deriding you!
'You hold a PhD in yelling!'
Only 3 days since Jessica joined
Did you think of taking her # and adding her in our school WhatsApp group?
So you won't attend to your class duties
You won't help with administration either
Right?
'Give me an answer'
Good morning, sir
That's how she is
Don't mind
She'll keep saying 'Answer me'
If I answer, she'll yell 'Are you back answering me?'
One day-
I won't allow all the students to look into their text books
I'll only tell those students who don't know the answers to copy
At least then they will know the right answer, right?
She yelled-
Sorry
I misunderstood when you asked for my phone #
It's okay
No problem
- Good - Yes
- Where do you live? - French colony
- That's very close to my place - Oh! Okay
So whatever help you need
Please don't hesitate, ask me
Is there any vegetable shop nearby?
Yes
- Will even tomatoes be white in London? - No, same as these
- Hello, Anbu - Good morning, Ganapathy
French friend, huh?
Hey! British
Give whatever she wants
What do you want, madam?
- 1 kg tomato - Okay
Ripe tomatoes
1 spinach bunch
Take that spinach
Spinach
I don't know the Tamil name for that vegetable
You can say it in English
My husband knows everything
When he came home to meet me for the 1st time
I fell flat for his English!
That's why I got married to him
Give me bottle gourd
Bottle gourd
'That means...?'
She wants bottle gourd!
'Hope she doesn't ask me!'
You specifically want bottle gourd?
You don't want brinjal, green chillies?
No
- Bottle gourd - Yes
I've been selling vegetables here for the past 10 years
- I sell only fresh vegetables - 'He wants to say something'
You asked for tomatoes I gave you ripe ones
I gave you spinach
Same way you'll give bottle gourd too
She will take it happily
I'll give, what's the rush?
If you don't know that vegetable, just say so
- How can- - Oh! My dear
You really don't know what's a bottle gourd?
I know, dear
I have taken a Friday vow I won't touch bottle gourd today
Okay, you tell her where it is Your wife will take it out for us
I have taken this vow for her How will she touch it?
Bugging me!
You take it from here
Don't you know?
I have too many bad memories of bottle gourd, da
Bad memory, huh?
Let's not talk about bottle gourd, please
If you don't know it's okay, I'll choose myself
I know, I kn-
He doesn't know But I know
Even I know
He just doesn't know Only I know
You are searching in Google, go ahead
I don't even have data I was just checking my messages
What is that plan, you get messages without wifi?
- Tell me, we'll also use it - Normal message, da
- Normal- - Good evening, sir
Hello, ma'am
Mahesh, what gun-timing!
Go and pick up a good bottle gourd
Wha...what, sir?
Bottle gourd, my dear boy Pick a good one for ma'am
Aiyo! Sir, how can I choose when you are here to pick the right one?
You are our friend, teacher and guide
Integrity, good manners, knowledge
If you want, ask for my thumb I'll give you like Ekalavya!
But don't ask me to give a bottle gourd, sir
Don't ask me for this bottle gourd, sir
- Please, sir - Hey!
Looks like he has a bad memory too!
- Just like you - It's okay, I will take it
No...no...no Wait, wait
I will talk to him, I'll try
Hey!
- Give her a bottle gourd - I am fasting today
Forget your vow Just give her the bottle gourd
You don't understand, dear I am steadfas-
Bro, give me a 'sorakkai'
You'll get one tight slap
Do you realize what's going on here? You want a 'sorakkai'
How does it concern me?
I want to buy a 'sorakkai' Anna, pick the best for me
We elite people are discussing
- Not that chap - Hey! I am-
- I meant us - Who am I then?
You know what is a bottle gourd in Tamil?
Why do I need to know? All I want is a 'sorakkai'
- Bro, give me - Don't give him
- Give - Don't
- Give me, bro - Hey!
- Just buy a bottle gourd and go - Brother?
Who is he? Behaving like a lunatic
How dare you call me a lunatic!
Don't test my patience
Don't hit me I'll be forced to retaliate
- Why are you digging that sack? - Hey...hey!
This is a bottle gourd!
This is the 'sorakkai' I wanted
This is a bottle gourd
Yes, this is a 'sorakkai' in your eyes
This is a bottle gourd for literates like us
I was trying all this while to make you understand
- Take it - Pack that bottle gourd, dear
- Write it down in our account - Bottle shape
That's why it got the name
You don't know what a bottle gourd is, right?
Of course I do
He is lying, ask him what's a bitter gourd!
- Hey! Cash - I'll hit you with a bottle gourd at home!
I knew right in the beginning what a bottle gourd is
I was testing if he knew it
He didn't know Poor fellow!
He was embarrassed in front of his wife
He tried to somehow cover up his ignorance
He didn't know a bottle gourd is 'sorakkai'
She laughed spontaneously
She has connected with me without being reserved

Sir
You said it is 10,000 sq.ft But this shows only 7000
What shall we do, sir?
Really?
Leave it to me I'll take care
Come, you were saying something
Bro, I'm so depressed nowadays
I'm scared to even wake up in the mornings
Don't wake up
Why get out of bed?
Why do you feel as if you have lost everything in your life?
If you lose one land is that the end of your life?
Just because I took your land
Don't make me feel guilty I drowned you in depression
I've never felt that way in my life you know
- I have 1 more piece of land, bro - Is that so?
Don't eye that alone, bro
- Where is that land? - Bro!
Not what you're thinking
In case I take away your land unknowingly
Why repeat this cycle of depression and counselling-
Boopathy
Hello, Williams Good to see you
This land owner has come
Hey! He has another piece of land it seems
Take down the address Prepare the documents
Okay, bro Come along
- Hello - Why did you come here?
What's going on here?
All you want is your land, right?
After I build the house here you come and buy your land
Don't create any problem for the time being, please leave
- I have a tight schedule - You had better get out of my property
Trying to threaten me
Hey! Come here Call all the passers-by
All my men, gather here
What I'm saying is, let's ask our people for the verdict
We can ask this child
When did these British leave our land?
August 15th 1947
Look, even this child knows and you don't know
But I have great respect for you and your land
Because so many countries in the world celebrate
Independence Day thanks to your nation!
I'm going to the police station
Police?
Oh! Okay...okay
Hey! Drop him in our police station
You can meet a fatso called Dhandapani
Register a complaint But he won't accept it
Then tell him my name He'll take it at once, okay?
May you lead a life of prosperity
You pissed him off now
- What happened, sir? - He has written a love letter, sir
That too, to a girl in class 9
He has written my wife's name for 'Who was the 1st woman in space?'
He has also prayed to Lord Ganesha
He will break 108 coconuts as offering if I die
That wasn't me, sir Srinivasan from class 7
Shut up!
You make so many mistakes in your English essay
But write a flawless love letter
- What did he do? - He wrote a love letter to a girl, sir
Show me
Wait, I'll get you expelled!
- No, ma'am - Now you say this
- Sorry, ma'am - I'll handle this, sir
- Sir, our principal- - You leave it to me, sir
So many students shouldn't suffer because of 1 student
Your time shouldn't be wasted like this, I'll handle him
- You'll take care - Yes, sir
- Let's go - Come, fatso
Can we trust him, sir?
Come here Let's read it later
He says he will handle him
'Why you're all standing here? Go to your class'
What is 'butterflies'?
In that very second you look at me
1000 butterflies flutter in my tummy
'Cel-estial angel'?
An angel who landed on earth from heaven, sir
Soooper...simply superb!
- You've been studying here from LKG? - Yes, sir
How did you learn these English words?
I got that word in the subtitles when I watched a Korean film, sir
- Wowww! - Thanks, sir
There's a particular age reserved for writing love notes
What is that age, sir?
How old do you think I am?
Right age to write love letters, sir
Smart boy, you pass in social science, run now
Appa!
Love letter, huh?
No, pa
It's okay, carry on
Remember the letter you signed for me?
Yes, pa
- Following it? - Sure, pa
That girl incidentally li-
Cha...cha, I don't want any details
Because I'm not a disgusting father who butts into my son's personal space
'If you say so'
If you take a list of friendly fathers who understand their children's mindset
My name will be topmost!
Guess why?
It's okay, tell me
Because you were the one who wrote that list, pa!
Soooper, da
After all a chip off the old block!
Why hasn't this Boopathy turned up?
- It's getting late - Need anything, dear?
Only one favor
I want you to leave this room
How dumb of me to ask you!
- Oh gawd! Am I late? - He's here...he is here
"Long live India says our national flag always"
Boopathy is here, you were eagerly waiting for him from the morning
- Come inside - Royal pain!
Boopathy, what brings you here all of a sudden?
We are late already, let's go, sir
- Where? - What is this, sir?
Today is January 26th Republic Day
You have to hoist our flag
We have DRO, President and other qualified seniors
- It won't be befitting if I hoist - True that
Who are these respected elders?
Take our President
No one knows him
But you
In some unheard of town I called a random boy and asked
'Hey! Tell me'
'What's our Ulaganathan sir's name?'
He told your name the next second!
I stood there speechless and shocked
The only man who doesn't like or care for name or fame
- Only our Ulaganathan sir - You are praising me too much
Like Prime Minister of India
You are our leader in Devanakottai
- Don't flatter me - If you come, flag will be hoisted
If you don't come, then it is a big NO, see you, sir
Don't cancel this function because of me
Why is he so fond of us?
I'm wondering too!
An intelligent and able orator From January 26th to August 15th
I cordially invite our Mr Ulaganathan to speak about our nation
Please come, sir
Please come
Actually he's my father
His thoughts are a different level altogether
Okay...okay
I have been invited to speak
- Did I do a good job? - About our nation
My grandfather sacrificed his life for our nation
Why will I hesitate to speak here?
Who else is better equipped to speak about our nation?
I don't know, may be in the neighboring town
May be in any other city
I haven't met them
But no one is adept in our town I know that for sure
What is a 'nation'?
I won't tell you You won't understand if I do
A nation is huge
You would have seen India on the map
Extends from Kanyakumari to Kashmir, really huge
A country needs a nation
A nation needs a district
You need many years to understand all this
But I can't explain in 10 minutes So I conclude my speech
'Jai Hind!'
- Sir - How was it?
Soooper, sir Different level
Chanceless! Extra ordinary
Okay, bye, Anbu
- Jessica - Yes?
- I want to talk to you? - What, Anbu?
I want-
I want to...I feel like-
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm okay
I love you, Jessica
From the first moment I set eyes on you
Butterflies fluttered and flew from my stomach
Love?
- What is this? - Letter
I've penned my feelings in this note
You'll understand when you read this
I thought a lot and wrote it myself
Why are you in love with me?
I like you a lot
I am in love with you
Why do you like me?
Just that
I love you
That's why I like you very much
Love...you like me a lot
Okay
I'm asking you What is the reason?
She is asking me for a reason, dude
What do I tell her?
Tell her 'love at first sight'
I should have told her at first sight
5th sight is over now
- Too late now - Love has no reason
- 2 egg puffs - Two?
Dude, tell her honestly
You are white as snow
Foreigner
'If I get married, Dependent Visa is so easy'
'Even if I work in a petrol bunk I'm settled for life'
- Be honest - What is he blabbering?
He means 'White as snow'
'Foreigner'
Dai!
- I got the reason, dude - What?
'She is white as snow, foreigner'
'If I get married, Dependent Visa is so easy'
That is the reason
What, da?
Listen to-
Tell us and then go
I must give her a reason and astound her-
- Hello, ma'am - Hi
Hey! What happened?
Poor Jessica teacher
- That's why I'm asking you - She felt very bad, sir
No teacher should be thrust in this spot
Why are you feeling so sad? Tell me what happened?
- You know her student Mahesh? - Yes
He scored 6 marks in English
Principal called her and said she is very disappointed
- Mahesh - Class VI is this side, sir
Mahesh
What's your problem?
My life is full of problems, sir
Which one are you asking?
Why did you fail in English?
You are able to score 16 if Anand sir teaches you
If Jessica madam teaches you score only 6
Sir, I got only 6 marks last time too
I added 1 in front of 6 by myself
You forged your mark sheet?
Sooper! Why don't you add 1 after 6 instead of in front?
- No, sir - Why not?
I believe in 'honesty is the best policy'
When did honesty mix into your policy?
Day before yesterday 2:30 post noon, sir
Having come half way let it go as half
Chuck honesty to a corner Add 1 to make it 16
How does mark matter, sir?
Honesty is our backbone, sir
Ouch!
- Honesty - Yes, sir
Show me your hand Can't do 1 sum properly
Mahesh, let's learn English
- Okay, sir - Hello, sir, 1 minute
I'm taking Maths class Why teach English now?
He has scored only 6 marks in English, madam
Hello! He has scored only 3 marks in Maths
- Only 3 marks - Sir
Maths won't get into your head, let's go
Hello...Anbu!
Just watch me bat
I'll hit every single ball-
No need I'll stick to English
Who is he?
Who is the culprit responsible for this?
If you accept it voluntarily I'll hit only you
Otherwise I'll rip the entire class to pieces
Sir, what are you talking about?
Hey! No need to be over smart
All of you know very well what I'm talking about
Tell me
Who started the rumor Jessica madam and I are in love?
Chee chee!
How can Jessica madam and you be compatible?
Oh!
The bathroom wall has a graffiti 'Jessica loves Anbu'
With a heart and an arrow piercing through it
- You drew that, right? - Sir, I didn't
- Who scribbled this? - 'It's your handwriting'
Who is this?
Where is Jessica madam?
And where are you, sir?
Oh!
Where is Britain in that map?
I don't know, sir
You don't know where Britain is
But got the guts to ask 'Where is Jessica and where are you?!'
Instead of homework you scribble on bathroom walls
- Sit - It hurts!
Okay, da
Those who think Jessica madam and I are in love, get up
Okay, da
Those who think there's no chance and it is all just a made-up tale, get up
Let sir alone stand The rest of you sit down
Sit...sit
Tell me about World War II
Don't know, sir
You don't know about World War II and you'll stand on the benc-
No violence, sir
Are you aware of the seriousness of this?
What will you tell Jessica madam?
Will you say, 'sorry, madam, seeing you chat and laugh often'
'You looked the perfect couple, so we did this'
Or will you tell the Principal 'Our school has only 2 pillars'
'Social teacher and English teacher'
'If you get them married our school will develop well'
Will you say that?
Will you go-
I don't want to hear a single word, mind you!
Hello, Anand sir Your face has a happy glow?
He has scored 18 marks in English, sir
He scored only 6 when I was teaching him
He added 1 before 6 and made it look like 16
He has scored 18 now, I am sure he would've added 1 before 8, sir
No, sir, he has genuinely scored so much
I understood your problem, sir
He has got 6 marks when you taught him and 18 in Jessica madam's class
You are bound to have an ego to match your age I am sure
How can you say this?
Education system, sir
System means computer Computer has a CPU
If power outage it will shriek kee kee kee
Sir, in this education system
You, me Pasanga, 'Pasanga II'
Director Pandiraj sir All of us are part of it
- What are you blabbering? - What's the big deal about marks?
Even Aryabhata got a zero!
He didn't get, he invented zero
He invented it only because he got it?
- You are talking at a tangent - Kids, sir
Kids is 'pasanga' in Tamil 'Pillallu' in Telugu
Go and see in North India, sir
You'll see the same kids-
Only 18, sir
Leave me alone, bye
Very good
Students, the same goes for you
Why do you take this kind of stress? Have a jolly time studying
You know how excited you are when you run to the playground
Only if you come to class with that same excitement you can enjoy life
Take Mahesh for example He studied joyfully
He has scored 18/25 now
Who is the reason for this, da?
No, Anbu I don't want any credit
Mahesh put in a lot of hard work and time
That's why he got the due reward
Yes, sir, I put in a lot of effort
Mahesh, you put in a lot of effort
Sir...sir, er-
I got good marks thanks to Jessica ma'am
Jessica, you are great
Students, a big round of applause for our Jessica madam
'Is this why he snatched my love letter?'
Angel
- Anisha - Present, miss

Students
Who is your favorite teacher?
Anbu sir
- Why is tomato so dried up, akka? - That's pomegranate

'Rs 70? Give me for Rs 50'
- 'I can't afford it' - Hi Anbu
Amma, my girlfriend is calling me
Catch him having a girlfriend He'll keep blabbering like this, give me
Insult!
Hi
Give me 1 more
- This is Anbu - Vanakkam
- See you later - Go...go
Came along with my mummy for fruit-shopping
Okay
I was really impressed by the way you trained Mahesh
Academician Mark Robin has written a theory about this
And it's going to be implemented in Cambridge University
But you have applied that theory without even being aware of it
No...no, I know
Mark Robinson I have read all his theories
I have also suggested this to be implemented in Oxford University
You're a very funny guy, Anbu
When I am with you
I feel excited
You remind me of Frank every time when I see you
Frank?
Who is Frank?
My bestie, Anbu
We speak daily on video call
Very close to me
Jesus Christ!
Can't stand this world over 'my bestie' headache
You should talk to him once definitely
Enough...enough
Visual is running in my mind when you keep insisting
Let's not discuss this 3rd person hereafter
- Okay? - Okay
Oh! Dad
Er...this is Anbu
Hi, uncle
Come on, dear, let's go
It's okay You go
Okay
You never can trust these people
Anbu
Hey! Anbu
Pccht! Hey Anbu
Wake up
Someone has come to meet you
Pccht! Who?
Foreign girl
Jessica
Jessica, huh?!
- Where is your family? - French Colony
French colony?
- You hail from? - Cambridge, uncle
Wow! Cambridge and French
Soooper, dear Simply superb
Hi
Is sir attending school regularly?
I pack his lunch daily and send assuming he is teaching in school
Do you know where he eats?
Intermission of Kamalam theater
Noon show
Nowadays he is prompt, uncle
Anbu is concerned about the future of all the students
Wow! You speak Tamil fluently
To a certain extent, uncle
I'm still learning
Good...good...good
Practice well
- Because Tamil is a beautiful language - Yes
If you have any doubts in Tamil, tell me I'll be happy to clear
A to Z
['Gummuru Tappara' ring tone]
What lousy timing they have!
What is 'gummuru tappuru', uncle?
'Gummuru Tappuru'
That means...?
Don't you know the meaning, uncle?
Of course I know
How will I not know?
As if I won't know!
Er...Anbu?
What's the situation of this song?
What is the scene before and after?
There's no front and back, pa
Song starts straight as 'Gummuru Tappuru'
Hey! How will they write like that?
You think some useless lyricist like you penned that song?
A renowned poet must have written it
It will definitely have a meaning
If we refer Tolkaappiyam the oldest Tamil grammar treatise
According to Tamil Grammar
Animated scale, monothetic scale, root words, figurative sums
Simile, metaphors
If you don't know, don't get too stressed about it, uncle
No, dear
As far as I know I can't not know it
It's okay, uncle
How can everyone know everything?
- I have heard of a theory regarding this - Theory, huh?
Er...what is that theory?
It's okay, uncle Please leave it
How can I not know that theory?
You tell me, dear
There are 4 types of people, uncle
First one 'Known Known'
They know what they know
Second one 'Known Unknown'
They don't know they actually know
Third one 'Unknown Known'
They know they don't know
The last one
'Unknown Unknown'
They don't even know they don't know
In these 4 types where do I fit in, dear?
'Unknown Unknown' type, uncle
That means?
You are not even aware you don't know
Jessica, let's go out and talk
Okay, bye, uncle
Okay, dear...okay
She's branding me as 'Unknown Unknown', huh?
What a special surprise!
You've come home
I came to apologize
My dad shouldn't have behaved like that
It's okay He's our uncle after all
Frank heard about it and felt so bad about this
Coming Sunday
I would like you to come home for lunch
If you don't take Frank topic I'll come
Okay...okay
- Okay? - Okay, bye
Hi
Anbu
You came so early, at 10:15?
Then I'll go and be back at 10:30
No, no...no...no
It's okay Come in
- Shall I come in right now? - Yeah
Gift for you
Thank you
- Good morning, grandma - Hello
Please
- Feel free, Anbu - Nice grandma
So glad I got to meet you
- Your dad isn't at home, right? - No
Good
You want tea, coffee or something?
No lunch?
Yes, of course
I'll have coffee after lunch
Alright
Grandma, I am-
Anbu
Jessica's colleague
Jessica has told me about you
She has told me a lot about you too, grandma
Your son doesn't like living here He wants to go back to England
Jessica said you want to live only here
Right?
Do you like India that much, grandma?
'I was born in England'
'Like everyone else'
'Thinking Britain is my homeland I loved my country with all my heart'
'But one day'
'War was waged'
'That war'
'Including other countries'
'Changed my life topsy-turvy'
'Losing all our possessions'
'Not knowing where to go'
'We were travelling aimlessly'
Dad, where are we going?
- We don't know, baby - What's happening?
Why should we leave?
This isn't our country anymore
We are in the middle of a war
But-
I grew up here
Baby, I'll explain everything later
I haven't even said goodbye to my friends
'Our neighboring countries refused to let us in'
'They stopped us at the border and sent us back'
'Not knowing where to live'
'We roamed around many countries'
'In the end only India gave us hope and life'
'Showing us the meaning of 'humanity' India gave us shelter, a home of our own'
India isn't just a country
India is like my mother
The cake is ready I'll go and get it
Okay
What's your view on war, Anbu?
What do you teach your students?
This country is that country's enemy
Will you say it is a matter of pride to win a war?
Not at all, grandma Why do we need war?
Love is very important
I like all the countries in general
I love British and British people
Even food wise
I love fruit crumpets fish & chips, burgers
I love England cricket team, grandma
Anderson, Peterson, Davidson I like all of them very much
Do you like Jessica?
- Are you in love with her? - Chee...chee!
Your grandma suddenly popped that question to me
Not knowing how to answer I reacted like that
May be I shouldn't have said that
I was confused I blabbered
Actually that isn't my original answer
What is your answer then?
I have never fallen in love without a reason
Actually I have a reason from the beginning for everything
Really?
What are you trying to say?
If the question is 'Are you in love?'
The answer is 'no'
If vehemently questioned 'Aren't you in love?'
Answer is 'yes'
If the question is 'Do you want to?'
Yes, I do
I have no problem
You are crazy, Anbu
Just like Frank
You agreed not to bring up his name
Why did you mention his name?
You should definitely talk to him?
Why should I talk to him? Is he your uncle or brother-in-law?
- Why should I talk to him? - No, Anbu
His marriage has been fixed
I thought it will be great if you can congratulate him
- Frank? - Yes
Our Frank!
Call him right now Make a video call
I'll talk to him
Look what our Frank has been up to!!
Give, I'll dial
Frank
Hi Frank
Anbu here
How are you, buddy?
My buddy, congratulations!
Marriage for you
You made my day, buddy
Love you
Love you...love you Meant for you

Hello, bro He has come
- Hello, Sekar - Vanakkam
- What is this place? - Why are you doing this?
When the concerned person is me, I'm here
Giving a petition to the collector and the police
They give it to me
See, life is a circle
What do you want? This should reach DRO
That's all? Sir, keep this
Hereafter whatever the issue deal directly with me
Then...I heard you are selling our land
That is MY land
- I have every right to sell - Boopathy
But what you're doing is wrong
He bought it during his grandfather's time Won't he be attached emotionally?
He is ready to sell You can buy it
Okay, sir
I won't sell my land to a fraud like you
Why is he calling me 'fraud'?
Sir, you can file a case
- Okay - Nail it down
White man who sold white powder
- Okay? - Sooper!
Superb headlines!
'White man arrested for killing Boopathy'
Make that your headlines
It's licensed
Jessica
Yes, dad
What's going on?
- Do you love him? - Yes, daddy
Actually I wanted to talk to you about this myself
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Are you going to listen to me?
Your grandmother lived here for 50 years
Are you going to live here for the next 50 years?
All I can say is
You are hell bent on causing me pain
Da-
['Gummuru Tappara' ring tone]
Hello?
Anbu?
My dad is very angry at me
'What is he saying now?'
I don't know what to do
'I am really scared, Anbu'
Hey! This is a trivial matter
Why worry your pretty head? My father will support us
'No, Anbu, you don't understand'
You are not understanding
You know what a renowned ideologist and die-hard revolutionist my father is?
He doesn't know his own caste
He is known-
Listen, Jessica We meet him together tomorrow
We hook my father to our side
Post office-
We get married at the registrar's office
- Okay? - Okay, Anbu
Re-lax!
Hey!
I'll serve burger in my wedding
Vanakkam, sir
Who are the candidates I should sponsor as a tribute to my grandfather?
'Mani, Senthil, Sudarshan, Elon Musk, sir'
I paid fees for these same names last year
'They failed last year, sir'
You had better warn them If they fail again, I won't sponsor them
- Okay? - 'Okay, sir'
Appa
- Need to talk to you, pa - Tell me
Jessica and I
I know...I know
You love each other, right?
Soooper, superb
Crossing barriers of caste and religion
You fell in love with a girl from a different country!
Grandpa...grandpa He is rocking...rock star!
He has touched the skies and beyond, grandpa
Wow!
But Jessica's dad doesn't approve, pa
Forget him Who is he to approve?
- Her appa, pa - Dad...daddy
You are to blame, son
You think all fathers will be like me with a magnanimous heart and broad minded
Other fathers will behave cheap like this
I'll handle it
- Thanks, pa - What a beautiful selection!
The disgrace I faced because of your sister has been wiped clean by this choice
I love France and French people
You know
How can we forget the French Revolution?
French Revolution is the foundation of socialism
'Goosebumps'
You convinced a French girl to fall in love with you?!
My dear son
Father of Communism Karl Marx I feel I've chosen a bride from his family!
Uncle, you have somehow misunderstood my lineage
- What are you saying? - I am not French
- British - You said 'Cambridge' the other day
Yes, pa, she is from Cambridge
Choose one and stick to that
Cambridge or British?
Cambridge city
Britain country
Then you told me 'Cambridge...French'
You aren't from France?
No, pa, Britain
Then those who live in Cambridge
Are they British?
So you're a British girl?
Yes, uncle
'Respected Mr Veluchamy'
I thought Cambridge is in France
It's okay, pa
Only 200 km difference between France and Britain
Problem is not 200 km
- Problem is 200 years - What is the problem, pa?
Do you know how your grandfather died?
Your father was killed by British en mass-
What the hell! Her grandfather killed my grandfather
That isn't my grandfather
Not your grandfather Your neighbor's grandfather
Your best friend's grandfather
Some trash of a tramp roaming in your area
That trash of a tramp's trash of a grandfather
Some British grandfather killed our grandfather
That's how the British are
How can you be so mean, uncle?
We have also contributed to the good of this country
We were the ones who gave you railways, hospitals, schools
We provided education
And the most noble act
Even freedom we gave you!
Did you hear that?
They gave us freedom it seems
That means were Gandhi, Bhagat Singh and Chandra Bose playing video games?
No, pa, all British-
AIYO! Don't utter the word 'British' to me
SOUNDS AWFUL TO MY EARS!
I gave you so much freedom
How many countries are in this world to choose from
Chile, Guinea, Czechoslovakia Kazakhstan, Japan, Antarctica
- No, pa, I- - OH GAWD! I KNOW
Antarctica is a continent and not a country!
No human population, only ice and snow
I made a mistake in the flow of words
You hang on to every word I say like a monitor lizard!
Listen! You can marry anyone you want
But I cannot accept a British girl as daughter-in-law of this house, I will not
I just cannot do so
Cambridge...London
You are searching in Japan!
Where are you going?
Tell me, where are you off to?
I wanted to meet Jessica
Meet Jessica and-
Apologize to her
Poor girl! She must be really upset
Sorry, huh?
You want to apologize to her for a few words I spoke
They treated us like slaves for 200 years
They killed my grandfather Veluchamy
Did we get an apology for that cruel act?
How many years have sped past
How many Prime Ministers have come and gone?
Did any of them apologize to us?
What will you tell her?
'My father is a fool Doesn't know anything'
- Am I right? - Cha...cha!
I won't tell her you don't know anything
Will you tell her I'm a fool then?
Don't think you are always right, pa
- You poked your nose in Malar's lif- - You are stepping out of line!
Super!
You've become British
You are looking at everyone as a slave
Is your name still Anbu?
Or have you changed your name to Nelson Mandela or Emma Watson?
Nelson Mandela is African
- Emma Watson is a lady - Okay, da
Anything I say will seem wrong in your eyes
When the right words I speak seem wrong to your ears
Then if by mistake I say something wrong, it will only seem wrong to you
Do me a favor
For having given birth to you
For blowing your nose and cleaning your butt
Pack all my clothes I'll walk out of this house
- I didn't mean it like- - I know, da
You'll head straight to her place and apologize
Take the next flight to British and settle there
- Am I right? - Appa, I am your son
How will I leave you and go?
'Sir, passport'
Passport?!
Appa, let me collect it
- PASSPORT! - Don't yell, give it
Bringing the roof down! Were you an ice cream vendor?!
To which country, da?
British, huh?
Visa is to visit a country Passport is general, pa
- You don't know all that - I don't know!
I don't know anything
I am 'Unknown Unknown' you see
Otherwise would she ask me 'what is Gummuru Tappuru'?
What is your problem, pa? Gummuru Tappuru or British?
Everything...every single thing
Get lost!
Get lost, huh?!
- Where are you going? - Just stepping out to step back in!
I am going in, don't worry
Hi Jessica
I've been waiting to see you since this morning
Hi
Hi Jessica
I'm in a terrible situation
Answer my question
You want that girl or your dad?
I want that girl in my life
I want to be the son-in-law for that girl's father
The children of that girl need a grandfather, da
That's why I want my father, da
Are you in this deep a depression?
- Who is sinking in depression? - You, of course
I'll solve this problem now
You guys are going overboard
I'm texting her now
"Angry, not talking to me, queen, o' queen"
"Without your tender hugs again my heart beats in pain, o' pain"

"Come, rock & roll Heart & soul"
- Appa - Tell me?
I don't want coffee Come to the point
I told you so
Did you read the newspaper today, pa?
I read it early in the morning
I think you must be reading for the first time
That's why you find it so exciting, tell me
A town is paying tribute to John Pennycuick, pa
- Where does he hail from? - A city called Kimberly
Country?
British, pa
Hereafter mention the country and then tell me the name of the city
That's why I got confused
But he's a good soul, pa
He sold all his assets and built a dam for us, pa
People in South districts regard him as their godfather, pa
Even now babies born in January in Theni, Bodi are named after him
There are many good British also, pa
Go on
Pennycuick is a good man
Then you'll tell me General Ashe is even more noble
Your grandfather didn't die in the hands of the British
He ate candies in the corner shop down our road and unable to pay his debt
He committed suicide
I forgot to mention the most important person
Our Jessica
She has a heart of gold
She knows our tradition very well
She is an expert folk dancer including dancing like chicks
She knows Thirukkural back to front
Tell me more
I don't know whatever you said now, uncle
Jessica
But I know this
You are a very good person, uncle
You are not an ordinary person
Most of the people
Concerned about religion, caste, money
That's all they think of
But according to you all are equal
You think this is a world without any borders
I have heard of only fathers who resort to honor killing in India
But you are something else, uncle
You're really great, uncle
But you are stuck when it comes to British
I hope some day
You will accept our love
V.O.C said he would come No sign of him yet
- Grandpa - What?
What brings you here?
I just wanted to meet you
I wanted to see you
Why, grandpa?
How is our Subramani?
Subramani is dead, grandpa
Is he dead?
I knew for sure even when he was alive
That he will die one day
My 6th sense told me
You didn't tell me why you wanted to see me?
- A small problem, grandpa - Tell me
You know my son Anbu
He is in love with a foreign girl
First I thought that girl was French and I said 'okay' happily
But then it turned out she is-
British, grandpa
British...?
Don't stand in front of my eyes, go away
How can you accept a British girl as your daughter-in-law?
Grandpa, listen
She seems to be a good girl, grandpa
But British
You say she is a good girl
Then you say she is British
But British girls do have a special charisma of their own
- GRANDPA! - I didn't mean it in that sense
Generally British are fair skinned and have a glowing beauty unique to them
- I meant that - That's what, grandpa
What will society say if I consent to Anbu marrying that girl?
I am so confused, grandpa
Grandson's love
Wonder how the tongues will wag!
To top it all, British girls have a charm of their own
I got the answer
- Grandpa - Go and buy 2 kilo brinjal
Don't play the fool with me, grandpa
Go and buy 2 kilo brinjal
- You...? - Yours truly!
Brinjal or bloody onion!
It was my lifetime question Who will answer now?
You buy and come back I'll answer your question
You go and buy, go!
His life is a question mark Lifetime question it seems!
I have to sleep again
I must dream in my sleep
My grandpa has to feature in it
And grandpa has to be in the same mood!
Answer...answer
What, Boopathy?
Why do you look upset?
A British fellow is trying to steal my land, sir
- British chap? - Yes
Is he still eyeing our land?
Yes, in the most cruel manner
Our boy Anbu has complained to the police that I've looted that piece of land
- What audacity! - Yes, sir
Leave now
Let's challenge that British fellow
Come, sir Let's confront him
But he's scaring everyone claiming he has a gun with him
- Gun, huh? - Yes, sir
You think a gun can scare us?
So many guns have been pointed at my grandpa's face
Um...I have a suggestion
Write a letter
How can you own Indian land when you belong to England?
Yours bravely Ulaganathan
Fling that letter on his face
Okay, sir
Er...stay there Don't come back
I'll talk to Anbu by then
Okay, sir
Gun or gin
- Hey! - Sir?
Truth will triumph, my boy
- Oh God! - Hey! Only you will be the winner
Don't be anxious, go
I got slightly confused, sir, bye
I know, pa
You've realized your folly
This is your nature, pa
First you'll lose your cool
Then you'll regret the harsh words you spoke
Pa, you're a volcano only on the exterior
You are ice that melts heart of hearts, pa
- Why aren't you saying anything? - You spoke everything
What's left for me to say?
But I can't talk the way you think, son
What else, pa?
That British chap is trying to steal Boopathy's land
What should you do as an Indian?
Shouldn't you rise in revolt against him?
You are complaining falsely against this innocent Boopathy instead?
First withdraw your complaint
Appa, you don't know anything
Boopathy is actually a villain He is deceiving you cleverly
Malign anyone you want
But don't deride Boopathy
Do you know what a wonderful boy he is?
2 or 3 years ago
I don't remember clearly
On that day, August 15th
I hoisted our flag in 3 places in our village
On the way back
"We will sing tapping out feet joyfully"
"For we have got our independence duly"
[Poet Bharati's song from 'Naam iruvar']
Pa, you said something and stopped half way
- What? - You were telling me some incident
- You stopped half way - Half-
I said chocolates were distributed
- I don't understand, pa - You won't
You won't understand
Any person in this town
Let any single person speak badly of Boopathy
I'll apologize to that British fellow
I'll give him back his land
Satisfied?
Ap-
It will be good if someone can tell my father, Boopathy is a bad soul
Who will tell?
Shall I?
Mahesh, our student
Jessica
Can I ask you something?
Go ahead
Does this land really belong to you?
Anbu!
I wanted to ask something else I was disturbed and blabber-
Let's not discuss my appa
Let's talk about our children
Do you want a son or a daughter?
If we have a son I'll name him Charlie Chaplin
Why?
I love Charlie Chaplin
I love him too
That hat, that stick He will walk in a funny way
Soooper!
How boldly he made so many movies against Hitler during World War II?
I like that courage of his
He went up to Hitler, one on one and said, 'Hey! Come out, Hitler'
Oh gawd! Soooper
That's the reason I love him
I have one more reason
- I have many reasons - Tell me
- You tell me - No...no, you first
- You go first - Your turn
You tell me and based on that I'll add on
[mobile ringing]
- Tell me - 'Dude'
'A chap who knows about Boopathy is coming from abroad'
'We'll take him to your father'
Yes!
'Stop it'
Who are all of you?
Sir, my name is Anbu
Mine is a beauuutiful love story, sir
Did I come here after 5 long years just to listen to your love story, huh?
Condense your matter and tell me
You must malign someone as bad to his father, sir
Whaaat? Bad-mouth someone?
- Bad...real bad - Yes, bad-mouth
Hey!
It is a real bad vice to bad-mouth someone
I'm getting bad vibrations if you stand near me
Go and meditate
Bad-mouth
- Bad- - Get lost!
'She looks the same'
'I am coming back after 5 years'
'Eagerly waiting for the feast tonig-'
'Lock down' for my love-mood
- That bad- - Who are you guys?
Hiiiii appa!
- Come...come - Sugar cube
- Sweety pie - Where is your daddy?
There he is!
Not that uncle This is your appa
Can't believe, eh?
Give my son
I am right here and whom are you pointing to?
He's my son, mind you!
He's as good as our son Doesn't matter, sir
That bad matter-
Don't brand me as bad from head to toe
There's a Hyde inside me hiding Don't force me to bring him out
Leave now
- Sir...sir - Move aside
- Saraswathy - Sarasu!
'What familiarity?'
'As if they know my wife very well!'
Are they frequent visitors here?
Go in, sir We can talk it over
[humming]
[chorus humming]
You sing the entire song, I'll leave
Appa...appa 1 minute
- Let's finish the first verse! - Sit down, pa
He has come only to talk to you
'What should I say?'
Tell him the crimes Boopathy committed
You've come here to malign Boopathy to me?
Go ahead
Boopathy is not ordinary Boopathy
'Land' Boopathy
He'll make a scam out of all Govt schemes, sir
TV, mixie, grinder given by both political parties
He has all the gadgets in his house
Current Chief Minister Stalin announced a scheme of Rs 1000 for housewives, sir
He changed his name from Boopathy to Gomathy and he is getting that too
He didn't even pass 10th grade, sir
Till date he is availing the Plus 2 scholarship, sir
He takes a totally unconnected person to an unconnected function as chief guest
'Why feel bad to tell you?'
He is like a chameleon that changes colors, sir
He doesn't have any more colors to change, sir
I want to believe whatever you're telling me
Okay, where are you coming from?
Tell him, sir You've come from abroad
Abroad, sir
Abroad where?
Wa...Washington I am working, sir
How did you get a job in Washington?
My friends are in Australia, sir
I went to stay with them and automatically got a job in Washington, sir
'Why feel bad to tell you?'
Ji
'Oh gawd!'
So you are working in Washington city in Australia?
- Am I right? - Perfect, sir
Is it the police station?
Isn't it Inspector Angaiyarkanni speaking?
Sir...sir...sir No need, don't call
'Sir, why call the police?'
What crime did he commit?
True that
He was working in Washington in Australia
What's wrong with that?
- Why shouldn't he work in Australia? - Hey!
Shut up! Forever scared of your dad
Tell me, my dear boy
Where are you working?
I swear I am working in Washington in Australia
Angaiyarkanni
I am coming from Pondicherry jail, sir
'Why feel bad to tell you?'
- You were in jail? - Yes, sir
If I sell grass and herbs often in Gandhi beach
Police will catch me
How can they nab you even if you sell grass and herbs?
Grass and herbs are slang words for 'ganja' sir
'Why feel bad to tell you?'
- Get up, I say - Sorry, sir
Where is Australia?
Where is Washington?
Listen, the whole world is now in my head
Now I am 'Known Known'
- Get out of my house - Sir...sir...sir
I'll tackle the three of you alone later
- Get out - Okay, sir
- Special appearance on top of it - I said I won't come
He deals in drugs on rare occasions
Why have you stooped so low for the sake of that British girl?
Brought a fraud in here and made him lie to me
- No, pa, he was- - No need, son
Best solution, get married to her
Go and settle down there
Do me a favor
Pack all my clothes in a bag
I'll leave
Hold it
You said you were going to Chennai
[cricket commentary]
Don't worry, Anbu
Everything will be alright
Your dad doesn't like me My own father doesn't like me
- What a mess! - We'll deal with it
- Happy birthday, da - Not me, wish him
Wish him on my behalf
- Happy birthday - Thank you
- It's a great party - No need all that, sit, dear
Wrong on my part to pledge your bike But you asked me for a treat!
Jessica is here too
Let us cut the cake and start celebrating
Don't ruin this mood
[cricket commentary]
India just lost They are rejoicing
Happy now?
HEY!
What are you celebrating?
Hey! Leave us alone
You are celebrating India's defeat
Don't behave like a lunatic, just leave
England girlfriend
You are celebrating England's victory
Yes, I say, I am celebrating
So what?
All of you, come here
Look, he is celebrating India's defeat
Let me tell you once more
You are creating a ruckus unnecessarily, leave us alone
Who is talking unnecessarily?
You went and complained about me to the police
You took Vasanth also and complained to your father
Let me ask you this out of sheer curiosity
Why does it bug you if I steal that white man's land?
Hey! You are a big fraud
You'll loot all the land in town and you think everyone will sit quiet?
- Return his land to him - What did you say?
Return the land to its British owner Or else you're dead meat, be warned
What will you do if I don't?
Hold him Careful, bro
How dare you hit my boss!
Oh gawd!
You broke his skull
You are bleeding badly, bro
Oh gawd!
- Why did he do this? - Let's rush to the hospital
'I'll get even with you'
'Come, bro Lift him'
You bloody well return the land to its rightful owner
'What arrogance after breaking his skull'
'Lift him'
'Let's go, bro'
All because of you
I'll come and get even with you
- Awesome fight - Thanks, dude
- Unbelievable! - Thanks, dude
- How's the celebration? - I misunderstood you, Anbu
I thought you were like all other Indians
You're a gentleman
Would you like to join us for lunch tomorrow?
Yes, uncle
'One route has been cleared'
'Our honorable Governor has hoisted our national flag'
'At the same time, we can see flowers being showered in our fla-'
- Did Boopathy come here? - No
- Would you like coffee? - Drink it yourself, pah!
Acting over smart when I offer left over coffee!
I have to tell you something important
I have an important task to do
If urgent, tell me I'll sit right here
Doesn't matter, pa What I wanted to say-
'Respected Mr Veluchamy'
Kalai
Hey!
- Has Boopathy come? - No
Why hasn't he come?
How will I know, dear?
He'll come He'll be here now
Super, sir Happy Independence Day
Isn't June 12th National Day for you?
British National Day?
British National Day
I don't understand
Sir, when England defeated India in cricket
Your son celebrates and even cuts a cake!
That British girl and her father drink and make merry rejoicing, sir
Your son will fall for a British girl
He will bash up Boopathy and support her
- You want to hoist our flag, very good - What?
My son beat up Boopathy?
Boopathy, what happened?
Nothing, sir
Sir, hoisting a flag in 2 minds half-heartedly
Making us believe you
Wishing us against your conscience
Why enact all this drama, sir?
Is this all you've understood me all these years?
You've accepted a British girl as your daughter-in-law
Now you intend grabbing Boopathy's land and giving it to her father
What is this, Boopathy? Even you don't believe me?
Sir, how can you ask me this?
Sir, you are always my hero I came only to invite you
But they prevented me, sir
Forget a piece of land, sir I'll sacrifice my life for you
- But your 'in-laws' - Hey!
Why do you keep harping on that British family, huh?
All of you gathered here come along with me
We will go to her house
Whether my in-laws-
Chee! We'll see who backs off That white man or me
- Come along - Let's go
He seems so confident Let's see the outcome
Hey white man Come outside
Do you think you can get your way using my innocent son as your bait?
Come out, I say
Oh God! Look who is stepping out?!
- Appa? - 'Are they hand in glove?'
- How come you are here? - I've been here from morning
- Wretched fellow! - What brings you here, pa?
Any problem, pa?
Now we know Let's go home
Hey! Wait
- You get out first - No, pa
- I came for- - Clear out!
I asked you to clear out
'I am already outside I should get out of outside, huh?'
Hey! Come out, man
Sir, if you call out 'sammandhi' I think he may step out
I know how to address him Just shut your gob
Hey! Bloody well come out
Aiyaiyo! Sir
He has got a gun on him, sir
Do you think you can get related to me by marriage?
If you want me to I'll gladly do so
I say, pepper, cardamom, poppy seeds
You stole all the spices from us
Do you think you can loot what's next in your list?
That land belongs to me, sir
Who told you that land belongs to you?
My grandfather told me
What did your men do to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose?
I don't know
How convenient! Your grandfather kept quiet but told you this alone?
Bloody hel-
Let him go
[clamor of voices]
Aiyo!
You have the gall to lay your hand on an Indian!
Please hear me out
Why the hell should I listen to you?
You damn well listen to me
Listen, this land belongs to Boopathy
You will bloody well return all the documents pertaining to it
Apologize to everyone with a sincere 'sorry'
The word 'sorry' Understand?
Otherwise I will sit in this same spot and start a silent protest
Keep preaching about my country
That is my land
And I can prove it to you
Please, sir, come inside and let's talk about it
- Take your hand off me - Let go of our sir
[overlap of angry voices]
Pull sir over to this side
Sir!
Aiya!
- Oh gawd! - Appa!
- Sir...sir - Hey! Hey
Don't touch me I don't need your help
- Careful, sir - Sir-
Move...move aside
I'm very sorry, sir
- I didn't mean to- - I'm glad
Very glad!
It was my grandfather then Today it is my turn!
Super
Super, sir
Appa?
- Sir...sir - Done and dusted!
'Matter over Chapter over'
A parent's heart thaws in a second whereas children can be stone hearted
Father is covered in a mud-pack Son is enjoying a cracker-snack
Oh my God!
What's this muck all over?
Mud and muck I love playing in it
So I dived right into a puddle
I rolled over and directly-
Stand right there
- Pa, hear me out- - Don't step inside
- Oh gawd! - Get out
This isn't your home any longer
People respected me all these years I've lost their respect because of you
- Not that, pa - Don't say a word
I meant this is your bag!
What does it matter which bag?
Just take a bag and get out, that's all
- Get lost! - Poor thing! Don't do this
"O' eldest son, do not be perturbed"
"Do not worry about facing solitude"
"Your father is God indeed"
'Tell him not to leave'
Anbu
[song from 'Arunachalam']
Bro, it seems that British man and our Ulaganathan sir fought
Fought, huh?
That white man yelled 'Go away, Indian and pushed our sir to the ground
Not only pushed him but rolled him in mud and muck
- Good lord! - Did he stop with just that?
Stamped on his chest
When the white man yelled, 'You Indian!'
A piglet pounced on sir from out of nowhere
Sir and that piglet rolled and scrolled!
I couldn't stand that sight
I was cornered
I was helpless
My poor sir!
Respected Mr Veluchamy
Now tell me, should all of us sit at him and relish 'biriyani'?
Or should we revolt?
- We will protest - We will revolt
I can't hear you
Louder!
Let's revolt Follow me
We will revolt
British hatred is embedded deep in his heart
- Pccht! - True
If something is dinned into their heads when young
Even when they become an adult it will stay firm in their minds
Same with our appa
Ego
He'll dance for no reason and now our people have tied anklets to his feet
On top of it, they made him roll in all that muck and mire
Extreme egoistic mind-set now
Only one love
Looks like a world war will be waged!
Tell me
Anbu, there's a problem here
[voices in protest]
Daddy, don't go
What are you doing?
This is dangerous
You deserve this
Anbu told us to stay in
He will take care Please don't go there
William, will you leave our town of your own accord?
Or should we make you flee?
What is this? No answer from him
Looks like we should make him flee
Come with me
Even with a broken skull your brain doesn't mend?
Who said my brain is under my skull?
Shall we begin our fight?
Bro...careful
- Are you okay? - Nothing, I'm fine
Go and hit him, da
Good lord!
'Bash him up'
'Targeting me here again!'
Rip him apart
Aim at them
Nab him
Catch hold of him
Hey dude, save me
Bat
Oh gawd!
- No need...no, don't - Want to get thrashed?
I will hit-
Come...come, give me a hand
Get hold of him
Spin it around
Hit him...hit him
Bash him up
I'll finish you off
Why are you hitting me?
- Let go - No, I won't
- I'm telling you to let go - I won't, you'll bash me then
- Then I'll do the honors - Take this!
Is it stinging?
Dai! Don't you dare!
- Don't try your luck - Want this? Come and get it
Dude, catch
- 'My arms ache hitting you! - Stop it'
Take this...and this I'll make mincemeat out of you
Vanakkam, sir
Sir, he's the one hitting everyone defending that British girl, arrest him
Let me explain to you, sir
Save your explanations for our Inspector in the station
- Come...come - Constable, pack them in the jeep
Sir, we are from an ordinary background
Please act according to law and justice, sir
Otherwise-
Otherwise?!
Google Pay, PhonePe If you tell us which app
- We'll transfer and leave - Yes, sir
You'll try and grease my palm
Quite capable of short cuts
Come this side
You'll laugh if India loses in a cricket match
You'll break the skull of one who questions your act
You'll bash up our own people supporting the British
You'll do all this and act like you are a gentleman
Sir, stand in one spot and speak
I am scared, sir
Do you know who you are?
Anti-Indians who support the British
Who is anti-Indian?
They tried to thrash the British
We went to save them out of humanitarian concern, sir
Don't keep harping on anti-Indians, sir
My heart is protesting!
We feel a surge of patriotism too
OH!
Patriotism
I'll ask you a few questions
If you answer properly
- I'll agree you are a true patriot - Okay, sir
[clearing throat]
In 1947-
India attained Independence on August 15th 1947
- That was a Friday too - Genius, dude!
You didn't even let me finish my question
'Patriotism, 1947'
What is 19x47?
- Tell me - Sir?
How is that connected with patriotism?
That's mathematics, sir Just numbers
There's no connection between 1947 and patriotism?
1947 is just numbers like 1,2,3
Alright
India got gold medal in Olympics for what?
For winning, sir?
I don't follow sports too much
Only studies, sir
Oh!
Then I'll question you from the syllabus
Why did Akbar plant trees?
Sir, Akbar didn't plant trees
King Ashoka did!
Dai!
- How dare you act cheeky? - No, sir
- Are you a scientist in History? - No, sir
- Answer this now - Sir
Who are the Cheras, Cholas and Pandyas?
Sir, one is Chera
Another is Chola, sir
- Remaining one is Pandya - Yes, sir
'Maybe he was working in Vijay TV!'
Don't know
You don't know patriotism You don't know History either
'Don't know the extent of our national debt'
Do you have any responsibility?
We have voted, sir
Legislative Assembly or Parliament?
Don't know
Lok Sabha or Rajya Sabha?
Don't know that too
Chairman or Councilor
No clue
At least do you know the word 'mayor'?
Anyone above 18 is a mayor, sir
Hey! That's 'maJor'
Fine, then what about 19+?
- '19 - Maybe minor'
Hey! That falls under major too
- Even minors will know this - Ohhh! Right, sir
Carrying such a heavy load of knowledge where do you all work?
I run a bakery, sir
- I work there - So do I, sir
- I work in the same bakery - He's lying
He teaches Social science, sir
Hey! Are you a teacher?
What's capital of England?
- London, sir - London, sir
God save me!
Get me water to drink
- Sir - I thought so
I thought as much
You don't know anything about India
But bang on about anything and everything about England
Alright
[clearing throat]
1 final question about England
Tough question
Which nation are you patriotic to?
I'll find out with your answer
- Ready? - It will be an easy question, be alert
Starts with E-N-G, as Eng
Ends with L-A-N-D, land
Name 1 such country
ENG is 3 letters, JAIL is 4
Do you know?
None of you want to answer because you'll get caught
It is a tough question, sir No one will know the answer
'England, sir'
Hey! Your General Knowledge is superb
Accused answers promptly while the teacher stares blankly
But this is confirmed for sure
- If I sow the seeds of your patriotism - Turn, dude
Trees will touch the sky in just 4 months!
- Hasn't he come? - Hey...dai!
Sir...?
You have a high degree of patriotism, boys
Thank you, sir, we've been saying this from the start
Not over our own nation
- Another nation - Sir!
Not just this town
You shouldn't be in this country
What did we say that was so wrong, sir?
Sir...sir...sir
Exactly my thought too
Who is shouting out there?
We'll beat you black & blue if you step out
Welcome, sir
Please give a just verdict
Silence! Stop shouting
- He is a traitor - Telling you to maintain peace & order
'Don't let him escape'
Sir, Jessica
- Let me have 2 minutes with her - Go
Don't allow him
Don't let him talk to her
Wait...wait
Sir...?
My daughter is doing her BTech, 3rd year
Forever watching Korean web series
BTS group it seems Boys who sing and go viral online
Ever since she saw that Boy Band she is hell bent on marrying a Korean
And wants to settle in Korea, sir
Who is the sole culprit? This fellow standing here
- What did I- - Sir
My 2nd daughter eloped with an American, sir
She took a flight one night to America
It was night over there too
She left USA and flew down here, sir It was midnight when she landed
Total darkness My life is pitch dark, sir
I blame this calamity on his love, sir
'Not only that, sir'
We find it so tough to hook a local female
He has hooked a British girl, sir
I am burning with envy Head to toe, sir
'What pretense innocence!'
Being Ulaganathan's son, I asked him to name my new born baby
Anbu named my baby Elizabeth Taylor, sir
Should a tailor's daughter become only a tailor?
'Look at his wicked thought'
Sir, more than everything
Our dear Ulaganathan sir
Must be about 5 feet, sir
That British fellow pushed him in a 5' hole in front of all our people
And stamped him flat as a 'dosa', sir
He pushed our sir who loves his motherland in mud and muck
I couldn't bear that sight, sir
Sir, they are enacting a drama
What? Drama?
- Brother - Drama, huh?
If protecting our nation is drama to you
We will rise in revolt
Silence! Silence please
Silence!
If revolting for the sake of our nation is drama
- We will protest - One more point
- For our nation - 2 will do
We are part of a drama troupe, sir
Yes, sir, we belong to Devanakottai drama troupe
- Yes...yes - Will all of you pipe down?
Tell them, sir
Based on my experience and knowledge I possess
Here and now, immediately, this instant
Spontaneously announce a verdict
'Give us your verdict in our favor'
'This seems super spontaneous!'
'This is not an ordinary local problem'
'It is our national issue'
'This issue erupted because an Indian fell in love with a British girl'
The hearts and minds of both sides have been hurt because of this occurrence
- Yes, sir - Further
Pride and prestige of our nation has been shamed and defamed
That too, on our Independence Day is a case of deeper distress
- Yes, sir - Needles in my heart!
Taking the uncommon nature of this incident into account
With the responsibility of maintaining law & order
Anbu's love being the root cause of all distress and disorder
It has been temporarily banned
[shouts of consensus]
It has been decided to exile Anbu from our town
This is injustice, sir
The disputed land should be given to Boopathy
- 'What you've decided is unjust, sir' - Which?
Which century are we in? How can you exile me?
Wait...wait
We had a similar case in the neighboring State, sir
A boy like Anbu was causing trouble and he was sent out of his home town
Suppose I disregard your verdict because he is pleading
If someone in this crowd throws a stone on his father's head
- Of course, sir - Only my head will roll!
- Understood our problem? - This is injustice, sir
- Don't do this, sir - Escort him
Escort him carefully
'He may take the girl with him'
'So escort him alone'
I want to talk to him
Anbu
Do you still think you can live in this village?
You know I'm not against Anbu now
But there's no respect for us here
I've completely lost hope
That's why we are leaving
'Uncle'
I need to talk to you for a few minutes
You are justified in hating us
We British have shown immense violence against Indians
Treated Indians like slaves
Decades have passed and still that hatred remains
My grandma told
India always hugs everyone
India gives life, she believes
But looks like I am not that fortunate, uncle
Such a kind person like Anbu
I never thought I would lose him because of a senseless feud
All I believed was Anbu would be my life partner through thick and thin
But I didn't think he would remain as a mere memory
These are our original land documents, uncle
And one more thing, uncle
For all the injustice you have had to face because of us all along
On behalf of all British people
On behalf of everyone who stood as a reason for this
Sorry, uncle
Sorry
I am reporting 'live' from Devanakottai limit
To watch this incident of exiling Anbu from our town
A whole village is assembled here
You are watching that now
Let's ask this elderly gentleman here
- Are you at least on Twitter? - Sir
Hello, City Cable
Has such an event happened many times earlier also?
Or is this the first time?
Earlier this has happened several times
But this is the first time!
Did you hear that? How eagerly people are waiting
[clamor of voices]
I think Anbu has come
Let's continue to watch what happens now
'Anbu is here and behind him the villagers are thronging'
'District Revenue Officer Police inspector'
'Villagers are assembled here'
'Anbu is about to cross the line This white line is our border'
'He is crossin- Anbu is NOT crossing the line'
'He has halted'
'Check if the villagers are protesting Turn the camera'
Look, he's acting
Don't fall for it, he is tricking us Ask him to step out first
We have no room for traitors, sir
You are a disgrace to our village, go away
- Go away - Clear out
Stop it!
Why should I leave this village?
What crime did I commit?
I won't leave this place What will you do?
Why are you glaring at us after falling for a British girl?
Did you follow anything related to India?
I did, 100% more than any of you here
Only because I followed that pledge 'All Indians are my brothers and sisters'
I fell in love with a British girl!
Guava with seeds, red ripe guava, sweet guava
Sweet guava, red and ripe guava Fresh and delicious guava
Grandma, I've started just now
Please leave us
Guava with seeds, red ripe guava, sweet guava
Yov! What have you got to say in your defence?
Do you know the meaning of patriotism?
'What have you contributed to our nation?'
You want to know our contribution?
I made my daughter draw the map of India in the 'kolam' contest
We infused patriotism like mother's milk, man
That's true love for our nation
After watching Arjun's film
I shout the slogan 'India! India!' with fervor, do you know that?
Hey! When your father asked you to join the army
Weren't you the one who jumped over a wall and ran?
Whole town knows, huh?
Is this your so called patriotism?
I'll tell you what slot you fit into
In a war between India and Pakistan you'll think minimum 100 people should die
I'll think there shouldn't be a single casualty in both countries
Are you preaching to us?
So if the Chinese attack should we be silent?
This message isn't just for you
Applies to China, Pakistan, pan world!
'Aiyaiyo! He's quenching his thirst!'
'Looks like a marathon speech'
Jessica's grandmother roamed all over and came to India because of the war
Do you know how cold-blooded war is?
Do you know because of Ukraine war
...we face a price hike from petrol to vegetables?
Do you know the price of 1 kg bottle gourd?
At least do you know what is a bottle gourd?
Bottle gourd is 'sorakkai'
'Sorakkai'
Sir, first send him out of our village border
Border?
Do you know when I first heard of the word 'border'?
My neighbor aunty came and asked my mother
'Akka, I like your sari border'
'Is mine as good?' she asked
That's the first time I heard that word
All I know is only that border
Even a 'veshti' has a border
I don't know any other border
'Correct, brother'
'Border shouldn't exist at all it only creates problems'
- Who is that? - Me, bro
Come here, brother
- Coming - Move, sir
- Tell them about the border issue - What is it you want me to say?
Is this problem light or slight? We can't cross the border peacefully
Can't buy one full bottle
They catch us with their many tricks
He nabs us So does this police
What border are you referring to?
To bring in booze from Pondicherry
Hit you! Move aside
Make him sit in the cell
- Let me tell you only this - Hey!
You keep piling one by one as 'only this'
Anbu, your father is here
Bid him goodbye and leave
Appa
Even you haven't understood me, pa
Doesn't look like he'll go today
When I won the 1st prize in 10th standard school competition
Everyone over there asked me 'who is your father?'
Didn't I tell your name?
What is this?
What is he saying?
I was sent out of school because I questioned my teacher too much
Sent me out of college because I copied
I was sent out of the theater when the movie ended
Now you are exiling me from my home town because I fell in love
You don't like intelligent people
It was Socrates then My turn today!
- Enough! Just go - No, I won't
Only reason because I fell in love with a British girl
You stooped down to the level of doing this inhuman act
We are alive today because all the nations helped each other during pandemic
What won that day? Humanity or patriotism?
Tell me, all of you Humanity or patriotism?
- What is he asking? - Humanity?
My dear, what does 'humanity' mean?
As if I don't know the meaning
Humanity means humanity
Our sir will answer
Bloody pain!
[clearing throat]
Humanity or patriotism?
I know the right answer
But I will tell loudly so the whole world can hear
'Just like this'
I am 67 now
There may be a 66 year old and a 68 year old in our village
'But 1 man'
'Only 1 person'
Can someone be older than me at 66 years?
I'll forget the question by the time he answers
I have given you my answer
Anyway it is your turn now
'Answer boldly'
How do we answer this boy's question?
He is using a new word 'humanity' People of our caste support 'humanity'
'Vimanity!!'
Why should we copy whatever they say?
Let's choose the opposite
'Patriotism!'
Stop it!
Would you be casteist even in humanity vs patriotism?
Beyond caste, color, region, religion
When will you look at a human being with a humanitarian outlook?
When will you get that humanity?
We will get it only if we know what that blessed word means!
'My dear boy'
My dear boy When I was very young
Not knowing the meaning of E=mc squared
I ended up selling guavas
To such an illiterate old woman like me
You made me understand what 'humanity' means?
Bless you with a good life, dear
God bless you
Look how a grandmother selling guavas understood the real value of humanity
Shall we now wait and watch if the villagers understand humanity?
Camera man, turn your camera towards the villagers
My dear boy City TV, come
- Tell us, sir - From the beginning I support humanity
I was raised with humanity
After that I was born in humanity
'You tell our viewers'
I support humanity too I am always only for humanity
All of us support only the cause of humanity
Am I right, sir?
[chorus of consent]
Hey! Now tell me
Humanity or patriotism?
Humanity! Humanity!!
Love or nation?
We want both The film 'Nation of love'!
- E= - mc squared
Mc squared

"Halamathi Habibo"
[song from 'Beast']
Halamathi habibo?
I swear I don't know the meaning, dear
It was 'Gummuru Tappuru' the other day
Today it is Halamathi habibo
Lyricists like this will be roaming around our country in some nook and cranny
If only I lay my hand on such so called poets!
'Subham'
They wanted to exile you only for 1 week
Why did you come up with such an emotional speech?
You could have taken all of us to Pondicherry
We could have stayed at a resort and boozed
I saw that crowd in front of me I got emotional and words flowed out
Did it trend all over national media?
It was telecast in one single local cable TV channel
Half the areas had a power outage it seems
As far as I know there may have been 15 viewers
Doesn't matter It's alright
Sir, you gave-
That speech in City cable
Did you watch it fully?
You were superb, sir
- I have a problem - What is it?
They are cutting power for not paying the bill
Talk about that, sir
I'll bring it to the media's notice, okay?
Okay, sir
