'Diplomacy'
Yes, brother
Where the hell are you guys?
We are at the place, as decided
Are our boys ready?
Our guys are waiting on the street
Is he there?
Doesn't seem like anyone has been here
I'm on the way Will reach in 5 minutes
There should be no sign of you guys
He'll show up and talk
That's when you need to attack him
Okay
I'm at the place were you wanted me
Let's not meet there It's very crowded
Let's meet at the Alandur subway
You call this place crowded?!
If this is a ploy to leave me roaming aimlessly
Why are you shouting!
If you want the stuff, show up where I tell you to
Brother, he wants us in another address now
If I ever get my hands on him, I swear...
Hush! Not another word until we get the stuff
Get back in the car
You sicko! Get back in!
They all want to drop their zippers when the car stops
He's not answering his phone
Brother! You leave now
I'll bring the stuff and the man!
Do you want ME to go home and twiddle my thumbs?
While he throws these absurd orders at us
Brother, it's him
Tell me
Where are you now?
You've reached already?
I haven't even left I can't find my bike keys
If you know how dangerous we are, you wouldn't dare to play the fool
When we get our hands on you, you won't even-
'I'm safe as long as I'm not caught'
'Or these guys will beat me to death'
'But this is how it is It 'is' the way of the game'
'A game that I'm playing for money'
'I got into it thinking it would be a small gamble'
'It took off from somewhere, but now there's no end in sight'
'In life, nothing will ever give you the courage that money can'
'My name is Arjun'
"Cash, dough, dollar, rupee, money Peso, pound, paisa, paper money"
Who's there?
Is this Arjun?
Yes
I saw your ad in Daily Ads paper today
You have a Pulsar bike for sale?
Yes, It's a Pulsar
What colour is it?
Black
And the number?
6555, fancy one too!
Which year did you buy it?
It's a 2009 model
Alright, I'll call back in a while
- Am I speaking to Arjun? - Yes, sir
May I come to see the bike now?
Sorry, I'm on my way to work
Could you come at 1:30 this afternoon?
Where to?
Not bad
You're right on time
I'm always on time That's how I'm known at work too
Is this your office?
I'm here to buy a car
The manager is ready to see you
I'll be there in 2 minutes
I've always wanted a car
You could say that's my dream
And now it's happening
Great!
This is the age to make your dreams come true
Here's the bike
The 2009 model
Take it for a spin
6555, this has to be it
Is this the bike?
- Arjun? - Not me, he is
I called this morning You said we could meet here
I've brought my mechanic too
Sir, I'd like those keys back please?
Go ahead
Take a look
You too, sir
I'll be back after seeing the manager
Which year's model is this bike?
I don't know
2009
Are you his friend sir?
No, I am a buyer too
He's here for the bike too
So, how is the bike?
Not bad at all
Bit of work on the engine, the chain and bracket
A few fix-ups here and there Nothing big
I brought you here with me Not to advise strangers on the bike's needs
True
But if this gentleman does buy the bike,
I'd like him to come to me to get it fixed
- Right? - Of course
I've not told him what an ideal price will be
You can easily bargain from 35000 to 32000
So there's no need to pay 36000 for it?
Sir, stop eavesdropping and step aside please
(Calls to God)
How much do you want for the bike?
Only because I'm pressed for time
Give me 25000 and take the bike
25000?
I'll take it
I got here on time It's mine
Boss, I'll take it
I brought you here!
I know you did
I'll take you for a spin, just to be fair
My company's allotted me a car loan
And I'm selling my bike to put down an advance on the car
Whoever pays me first can take the bike
Cancel my half-day permission at the office
I've just bought my son a bike
I'm going to give it to him and come back to work soon
Since you've been driving me nuts asking for a bike
Here is the key-
'Cheating, Fraudulence, Accused, 420'
'Call it what you want'
'But this is our work'
'Meet Deva The most educated guy we know'
'Maybe that's why he's still unemployed!'
'Now he's with us'
'This is Kullan Deepan is his name'
'Though I don't remember anyone ever calling him that'
'He does everything I tell him; he's a fine friend'
'This little bike scam we pulled'
'We've done plenty of them but never been caught'
'It actually can't be called stealing'
'People's greed is what we invest in and capitalise on'
'It was one of those such days'
'We don't know why certain things happen in our lives'
'I believe it's for good reason'
'Because if we know what lies ahead, there's no thrill'
'And it was a thrilling ride that followed'
'That's when I first saw the girl who toppled my life upside-down'
'One look from her is how it all began'
'She talked with her eyes'
'All I wondered was how much those glances said to me'
'Then she smiled!'
'I could smile at her now and not seem like a creep'
'That's when I realised it wasn't just me she smiled at!'
I had to act quickly, so I started with 'Haven't I seen you before?'
I've seen you around before
Are you from T-Nagar?
No, we are from Parry's Down to the end of Mint Street
Then you'll reach Burma Bazaar
She's not interested in buying pirated DVDs
Ask for the Ekambaram Temple; no one will know it
Ask for Barkath Biriyani everyone will guide you
Head straight, take a right and look up at the first floor
That's us Madam!
Please don't say Madam
Use my name
I'm Michelle D' Mello
What a nice name! Say it again?
Michelle D' Mello I'm an Anglo-Indian
Now I get it
What did she say?
I didn't catch it
I'll have to practice saying her name for a few days
Oh alright
Personal matter
And your names are
This is Arjun That's Deva
He's Kullan
No, my name is Austin D' Costa
That's just half My full name is Mr Deepan
He's pinching me
What do you guys do?
Medical reps
Right guys?
We are medical representatives
We promote Anacin, Crocin, potato chips, gripe water etc
So that means you have plenty of time to fool around?
Yes
But pressure mounts at the end of the month
I have a superb business plan
Something you can do in your spare time
Let me know if you're interested
You have my undivided attention Miss!
- Even if these two aren't in - Why did you leave us out?
It's an act to get her comfortable so she gives us her number
Take down my number
You guys think it over and call me
What a fancy number!
- Give me a missed call... - I've already done that
And your number?
Just thought it'll come in handy
You friend doesn't talk much, does he
He's very shy Gets tongue tied when girls talk
I'm not like that I have the gift of the gab
We're getting off here
Think about my offer and call me
What is this?
Can't you see they are iPhone boxes?
I asked for 2 same models
2 of the same model will cost Rs 50,000 Okay?
We can't keep doing this small stuff any longer
Let's pull-off a big job and settle down for good
That's tall talk for a guy scared of traffic cops, when you just walk!
Sticking to small jobs keeps us from getting caught
A big job will finish us off
One moment
Don't listen to him and try anything big
We'll all be behind bars
Shut up!
I'd asked a guy for some money to pay our overdue rent
He wants to meet me now and give me the money
Who did you ask?
Don't ask about my sources They are reliable
Finish and come to our spot
You guys carry on
Fine!
It's just us tonight When I'm speaking to the buyer, you
Catch!
Did our house owner talk tough about us not paying rent?
He cried, begging for the money
Now you don't go say anything
If he makes trouble, let me know
We'll just have Iyer make fake house documents in our names
Our tea-stall guy...
Is in the bathroom?
No
His friend met with an accident and needs B+ positive blood
- I've that same blood group - So what?
So I'm going
That's why you ran with your phone
Yes
How did you already know it was an emergency?
Stop badgering me please
What will I do alone without you 2?
The buyer is calling What do I say now!
There's something fishy about you getting all dressed up
A man is fighting for his life there and you call my intentions fishy...
Okay, can you give me Rs 500?
I have no money
Those people are very poor and I'm giving them some money
I've told the buyer we'll meet tomorrow
Don't mess up tomorrow like today
What's your problem?
My brown shirt had Rs 1000 in it
We don't even wash our clothes, so where's the shirt?
I must rush now to save a life
Like there's so much blood in him to donate...
- What is the time? - 4 pm
Time now?
It's still 4 pm!
Can you check if your watch is working?
It's a serious life issue that's why...
What's your issue dude!
He's an Angry Bird...
This guy!
Why did he come here?
Lord, protect me from the world (Prays)
Has he gone?
(Prayers to Lord)
Mr Mechanic!
How are you?
Uncle...you are
Uncle?
You couldn't have forgotten me?
We met at the showroom and you advised me on the bike
You seemed sharper in your mechanic's uniform
You're so smart
You are too sharp, sir
I didn't think you'd recognize me in these clothes
I can't forget the day...
Are you seeing another bike?
Because your client over there is
Him?
- Oh no - Come
Do you remember him? We met while checking out the bike
He remembers us
This is Deva
Hello, brother
- Unexpected - Very Unexpected
That day after paying for the bike, I took it home, parked it
Came out again to take it and the bike had disappeared
I checked the number at Regional Transport Office
it seems a Government bus number!
He sold me the bike, took the money and made off with the vehicle
Good thing you didn't buy it
Did you go to the police?
Of course But I had no proof of the purchase
The cops couldn't do a thing
How sad
With your shiny suit I thought you'd have the brains of a CBI Officer
And here you're standing like a kid who's lost his pencil...
Careful Sir
There are plenty of scam artists on the streets
I wanted to tell you there's a new bike at my shed
Come take a look
Be safe with your bag
Why buy a bike when you can own a car?
Your chance is behind that door
You can see the fortune
Let me take you
Sure
We'll park our bikes and come
Okay
Yes, leave it inside
Is this your way of dealing?
Run and hide
Girls usually two-time the boys But this one is three-timing!
They are coming
This girl said there was a wonderful opportunity
Mr Safari Suit said golden opportunity
What really is happening inside?
Why are we here?
We are here to win!
What are we going to do?
Get ahead in life!
- And who will help you get ahead? - WINWAY!
Come on, clap
We have 3 boys and I don't know if they'll look after us in our old age
So we've adopted the fourth, a girl I'm sure she'll take care of us well
You enroll 5 people
And they would enroll 3 people
That is this business
This is really a great opportunity I earn so well now that I'm part of it
And so can you
Will you join?
- How much to join? - Only Rs 4000
Here's the Joker
Just the Joker won't do
You need a Rummy 3 cards and 3 sets, then you could win
If I don't have all that?
Then you lose all your money
Why don't you buy in?
He barely has money and will need me to buy him a cup of tea
What's with the smart comments?
You're the guy who went running after the first girl that smiled at him
I too know who you donated blood to and who he borrowed money from
So save it!
We too came because she called us
But we realised the situation and escaped in time
You said it right, buddy
Let's not bully him or he'll start crying
What's in this that costs Rs 4000?
If we'd paid our house owner Rs 4000 he would at least smile at us
No one wants to see that man smile That's why we don't pay the man!
Not even his wife
Now to make a girl smile, that's worth the effort and money
Next time she'll greet him with a smile
This stuff is costly
The soap is Rs 120!
If you shower with this soap, people in the next street will get the scent
Are you serious? But there's another angle, come close
I was fuming with anger being duped by her
These guys were adding to my embarrassment
I decided to get the money back from her
But how could I?
Everytime I saw her, my heart skipped
Money was the last thing on my mind
She had me spell bound
I only had thoughts of being with her
Life couldn't be better
Until he came into the picture
Dharma
He ran a finance company, which failed and he went to prison
That's all I know
That's Madhavan Iyer A master fraud
He did an impeccable job of forging documents
An agent and supplier to guys like us
One day he called us home, saying there was a big job to be done
3 floors in all
The ground to the second floor is a jewellery store
Locker's on the second floor
That's what we need
Which store?
Sathya Jewellery
The one in Anna Nagar?
This store was very popular in the city
And more famous than the store was its owner Azhagappan
Everybody knew him and he knew everybody
There was no way we could take such a huge risk
No Iyer
Don't say no just yet Think about it some more
I have thought And my answer is no
I'm leaving
Sit down please
Iyer, I make my living with small jobs
This is huge There's a big difference between the two
You too will get a big share
Iyer, it is fine to want But never okay to be greedy
You know such accomplished con artists, who can easily pull this off
Let me ask another guy
I want him to do it
Why?
If you're afraid he knows your plans don't worry
He's very trustworthy Won't say a word
That's not the reason
He is the guy I want
Let's leave guys
What took you so long?
Iyer wanted us to pull off something really big, I turned it down
Why did you refuse it?
Big job means big gains for us
He wants us to murder someone in the Police Commissioner's house, ready?
Why'd he get so quiet?
He doesn't even get into the bus from outside the Commissioner's Office
As if he's capable of more
Wait
I'm in the area
See you in about 15-20 minutes?
Get off the bike
Why?
Get down
I've got some work where you're going to
Get off
This shady business of yours is not healthy
The Anglo-Indian air is fogging your brain
He's here now I'm leaving
Why are you so late? There are people waiting to meet you
Come soon, will introduce them to you
Who are they?
You need 3people to add into your Winway circle
These are the 3
I've briefed them already
Now you get their numbers and make sure they join
You called me for this?
Why else would I call you?
This is Arjun
He's driven a long distance to meet you
Give him your numbers so he can explain the business details to you
They you can get enrolled under him
This will change your life remarkably
We only want to join you but you're asking us to join him?
Sir, It's not who you work with, but opportunities that comes when you join
We agree
And that's why we want to join only you
I am allowed to bring on board only 3 people, which I have
But if you join him, you'll have my support as well
She says she's already handling 3 people But can service us too
- What do you say? - Say something
Madam, we don't want to miss this opportunity
But we'll be much happier to be just under you
Why did you slap me?
Another word out of you and you won't have a mouth left
How dare you?
Come on
Let's get out of here
Listen Michelle
You think you're a big shot because you hit them?
I had such a hard time convincing them to join and you do this!
Didn't you understand what they were saying about you?
You keep flashing your smile inviting everyone to join the business
What sort of work is this!
You do need to earn
But instead of chasing after people to join
the business, you may as well sleep
What did you say?
I'm sorry
Repeat what you said!
I'm very sorry Michelle
Say it again
I know exactly what those guys were asking of me
And I know the intentions of every single man I meet
When a girl speaks first and offers her phone number
I know exactly what goes a man's head
That's how my job is
I face the problems of every working girl today
I have to talk to get people to join
But I know when to stop and back off
I have no desire to entertain jerks!
I was 7 years old when my father hung himself
All because of Sukra Finance that sank without a trace
It wasn't just his money
But money he'd borrowed from others at high interest rates
The company deceived us
We lost everything and him
Who will clear those debts?
With a job, my salary of 10000-12000 will pay the interest
But the debts?
In this business they said the rewards get bigger with every step you climb
I believe it
And like you said, I could sleep around and earn too
No Mich...
But I'm not that kind of a girl
What do you know about me to just be shooting your mouth off?
"Why this glance? Why this silence?"
"It creates a vacuum in heart"
"Why these words? Why this aura?"
"It causes havoc in heart"
"Ears shut doors Yet the song flows through"
"Had kept my heart doors shut Yet you managed to enter"
"You prevailed inside me You appear in the sky too"
"I became a kite to mingle with you"
"Why this glance? Why this silence?"
"It creates a vacuum in heart"
"You show me like a colourful portrait everywhere"
"You preserve my reflection even if water droplets vapourise"
"Whatever I see move in fast forward mode, when I am with you"
"You pull me into your eyes and make me a dot"
"You make me come out of protection zone"
"You clarify even before I doubt its reality"
"Why this glance? Why this silence?"
"It creates a vacuum in heart"
"Why these words? Why this aura?"
"It causes havoc in heart"
"Ears shut doors Yet the song flows through"
"Had kept my heart doors shut Yet you managed to enter"
"You prevailed inside me You appear in the sky too"
"I became a kite to mingle with you"
I shouldn't have said that in such haste
I've never apologised to anyone
But when I saw you crying my mind stopped working
You've never seen anyone cry?
No
No one has even gotten emotional around me
You've seen the guys I hang out with?
Thank you for those few minutes of calm
I forgot all my worries and...
I am disturbing you with my worries
How many times will you give the same excuse!
Is that from your house?
Yes
Is there a problem?
Today is Wednesday isn't it
That means my relatives are here
Actually...it's the money lenders
We borrow money from them and treat them otherwise
Should I speak to them?
No thanks I'll take care of it
You should leave now Bye
Leave
Why are you shouting?
How dare you ask why I am shouting?
Ma, go inside please
Sir, we won't leave this place without paying you back the money
'I was 7 years old when my father hung himself'
'We lost everything'
'Who will clear those debts?'
'But instead of chasing after people to join...'
'...the business, you may as well sleep'
'...just be shooting your mouth off?'
'Sorry, by mistake-'
'In this business they said the rewards get bigger with every step you climb'
'But when I saw you crying my mind stopped working'
Where were you all this time?
I was trying you number
Your phone is off too
I forgot to turn my phone back on
The urgency is that he's found us a new job, which I've already refused
The person is from Bangalore
A black money transaction
If we plan right, it can all be ours
How much?
10 lakhs!
I'm talking to you
How long have you known this guy?
Your story isn't going to work on him Find another place to tell it
10 lakh rupees!
We just pay the informer 1lakh and the rest is all ours
We can take it easy for a while then
Why isn't he saying anything?
Tell me
Asleep already?
No not yet
The money lenders just left My mother is quite upset
Will 5 lakhs do?
5 lakhs for what?
For your problems, relatives, money lenders
Why are you hung up on my troubles when you have so many of your own?
I will take care of my problems
And you find 3 people to join your team
I must go now
I'll call you about where tomorrow's meeting is happening
Who's the informer?
Don't ask about the source
It's someone trust worthy
He won't speak of the informer but wants us to do the job
Arjun's in the mood to work
Now you don't ruin it
When is the money coming?
What's gotten into you?
This sort of stuff is not our style
We have no style!
You're agreeing to this for some other reason, I know
Shut up!
Who's bringing the money and when?
Mani Tomorrow evening
How is it coming?
By train So we could go to the station
No, will be crowded
- Get a car and... - Traffic
Otherwise at the Taj hotel
Let's do that
He is behind me at the entrance
Have to confuse him
That red shirt?
Hi (slurring and blabbering)
Boss, I don't speak your language
You're Tamilian!
Comb your hair next time please
Sir
Hello
Calling you?
Yes, he is
Run away
Sir Our bags look alike so must've gotten switched
What is happening?
You might be carrying valuables
Careful Sir
Sure
What happened? What did he say?
Messed up!
It doesn't matter We've got the bag right
No, he took it back
What? We worked so hard
You weren't here You have no idea what went on
Take the stuff and get out
Why did you get caught?
Can you both shut up!
Listen to me
Kullan, Mani has gone to the bar
Keep an eye on him
And you?
I need to stay low he's just seen me
I'll go

I'll see you later
I want you to meet a very important person now
Who is the lady I hear?
Hang on
I've got people waiting for me
Please understand
I have been calling you all day
You need to give my work the first preference
Your preference looks crystal clear!
Deva, the girl has got the boy
So that's done
Get in!
Raghu Sir has reached the Platinum level in this business
Though you missed the meeting Take part in dinner at least
I hope you too become like him one day
Meet my mother

It is a wonderful opportunity
And she the perfect mother-in-law
Stay with your family Arjun...
Stop kidding! Where are you guys?
In the lobby
At the bar
Where's Mani?
Sitting across from me
Is he alone?
He is alone but keeps looking at another table
Who's there?
He's signaling to the guy with his eyes
Looks like your kind of guy
My kind of guy?
Yes He's with a girl
You are going to get whacked!
Sorry, the truth came tumbling out
Keep an eye on the bag at all times
Let me know when he moves
I'm on it
I'll stay on the line and

A beer for the man, on me
Okay cancel the beer
Arjun
Tell me
The guy from the other table is walking out
And Mani?
Mani's gone following him
Now go after Mani
They are headed to the washroom one behind the other
Don't lose sight of Mani
Stay on his tail
Come here
Where are the boys?
Waiting outside
Did Bhai say anything?
Not a word to me
You spoke...
Arjun I'm in here with them
They stopped talking as soon as I walked in
The other guy walked out
Mani has left
Mani took some sort of card
I think the other guy kept it there
They are headed to the lobby
Deva you are in the lobby aren't you?
Where are they headed?
They just passed me
Kulla, if Mani goes back to the bar, you go
If he goes elsewhere, Deva you tail him
Mani is in the lift I'm off too
Note his floor number
Ok, I'll go
501
What do I do now?
I need to think
Arjun, where are you going?
Thangaraj Sir This is Arjun my down liner
He has just joined
Arjun, this is my up liner, Thangaraj Sir
I'm Arjun
Sorry but you'll need to excuse me, I'm on an important call
Kulla, you're still at the bar?
Yes
Do as I say now
I can't hear you
I'm in the room
And the alcohol?
Brother
What?
What are you doing down here?
You asked me to come down
I told you stay up with the bag
But you called me
I didn't call you!
You called and asked me to lock the room
What card is this!
Where are you? Come to the bar immediately
Good evening Sir
They're coming up in the lift
You're safe?
I'm searching for the bag
Searching only now?
They are on the second floor
Got it?
On the third floor
Wait
Now the fourth
Get out with or without the bag
Hang on!
They are on the fifth floor
I'm losing my mind!
If they catch you, you're finished...
Wait! I got it!
I'll wait in the parking lot
They've seen me
Start the car, I'm hurrying down
Where is he?
- He's taken the lift - You take the stairs!
We are in the parking lot You?
Come to the left side of the lift
Here!
Catch the bag
Come on
Let's go!
Come to the parking lot now
Stop there
Stop staring
You guys take the bike and leave!
Let go of the bag!
Who are you?
Where are you guys?
Was it very bad?
Nothing like that Where's Kullan?
I'm here
Looks like you got a solid thrashing
You said we'd get a lump sum and they've definitely landed lumps all over his body
Quiet
I'm sorry man
I thought there wouldn't be any trouble because it was black money
You're right
They should have beaten him up more, to be worthy of 10 lakhs
You should have taken more
Did you see the 10 lakhs?
The bag was packed with gold biscuits
Easily worth cores
Whatever it's worth
We'll split it three ways
Wait! Gold bisc
Crores
We are sorted for life!
Leave me
They told me it was 10 lakhs only
Get the bag and look, if you don't believe me
Step aside I'm going for it!
I feel like I'm in a song right now
Where's the bike?
Are you kidding?
I asked you guys to bring the bike
What are you saying?
I told you to take the bike!
You said we should leave on our bike
I told you to take the bike with bag Only that mattered
But we did what you told
I had to escape, not give you a list of details!
Gone? All gone?
I thought we'd hit the jackpot finally with gold biscuits
But it's just butter biscuits for us
I'm going to slap you!
Let it be
How can you say that?
If they had caught me, I'd be dead!
We didn't get the bag
Mani's guys didn't get the bag
No one but us knows about it
You guys didn't take the bike
But it's not there either
They said 10 lakhs but the bag had gold biscuits
Something is off about this
Mani's boss saw all three of us
He won't stay quiet
And the three of us are in trouble now
Someone has played us for sure
Who's the source? I must know
It's a trust worthy guy
Let go!
Tell me or I'll kill you
It's Madhavan Iyer
Iyer I told you we can't do the job
Then why did you do this to us?
Give wrong information and land us in trouble
I've never breathed a word about your underhand plans to anybody!
Then, why did you...?
Fine, give me the stuff now
What stuff?
We lost the bag and thought you might have picked it up
We thought you would have...
Why the hell will I take it?
I don't have it Did you search properly?
Iyer, don't act innocent
Handover me the booty
My blood is boiling and I will not control my actions
What will you do?
I'm not talking to you
But I'm asking you What will you do?
I am not talking to you!
Talk with respect
Why should I respect someone who robbed the whole city!
What do you know about me?
You robbed the whole city
We have no connection with you
We gave you wrong information
The guy's whose stuff you tried to rob is Murthy
One of the biggest gold dealer's in the city
We pulled this on you, so we'd have something to blackmail you with
You really believe I'll do as you say because of this?
You will do it!
Do I look like your slave?
Be patient
This is your fault!
You wanted to do a big job right?
Now look at the damage they've wreaked on us
You are history to me from this moment!
Iyer, this is it
I don't want anything with you or your jewellery store robbery
Give me the bag now and I'll deal with Murthy
You don't seem to understand
Think we'll let you off the hook if you convince Murthy?
Until you do as we tell you
We'll harass you in other unimaginable ways!
Are you trying to threaten me?
Oh yes!
This is not good Iyer!
Don't
Wait for me
Your rage is taking you over
Deva is our boy
Why did you cut him off!
They want to play with me?
I know exactly where it hurts the hardest, when you're hit
It's my turn to play now!
We've checked all the cameras
And this footage shows his face most clearly
This is all I need
We need to file a police complaint
Can you give us a written statement please?
There's no need to involve the police
We know this guy
He's pulled this stunt to get back at us
It's just a small handbag anyway
Nothing valuable
- Isn't it? - Yes, bro
We'll take care of it
Even we've seen the contents of your bag
What are you going to do about it?
You are a regular customer
Please avoid transactions like this in the future
Why did you get the bag scanned!
The security asked me to
You should've called me at that point
Now I have to hear it from these guys
Forget them
What do I tell Azhagappan?
They paid me for the job and now I don't have the stuff
You arrange it from elsewhere
I can find these guys easily in 2days!
What other arrangements do I make?
Where do I get 2 cores from?
We aren't dealing with sacks of rice here
To replace a missing bag with another
Azhagappan is not the kind of guy who listens when spoken to
Why do stand here, saluting daily?
Who are you waiting to see?
I wanted to meet you only
If you want a job, see my manager
If you want a donation meet my son-in-law
Start the vehicle
Sir It's about Dharmaraj
Who is Dharmaraj?
Dharma was the manager of Sukra Finance
I don't know anyone by that name
You may not him but he's making plans to rob your jewellery store
I refused when he has asked me to help
I won't continue talking about someone I don't know
Please leave
Despite claiming to not know him,
I noticed a slight fear in Azhagappan's eyes at Dharma's name
I knew he would definitely do something
I just didn't know how far he would go
Dharma
Feeling better?
You should have come straight to me after being released from prison
It's been so long since I saw you
Everything has changed
You'll see soon enough
A young chap came to see me and blabbered
on about you intending to rob my jewellery store
He clearly knows nothing of our past
But it pains me to see you like this
Don't try any stunts!
Get well soon and come see me
I am with you
So you're Iyer
I've heard plenty about you
Look after him and let me know if you need money for his bills
Who's call are you cutting?
Iyer's
He's been calling all morning
Maybe he's ready to return the stuff
If that's the case let him come here
Buddy!
We were just talking about you
You'll live a 100 years!
What did you say your job was?
Medical rep Selling Anacin, Crocin...
Did I ask you!
You tell me Arjun
What do you do?
Why ask when you know the answer?
I want to hear you say it
There's no need to be honest about everything
If what's said is honest, that's enough
And whatever I've said so far is the truth
What a gifted speaker!
You cheat people with this talk too
Thangaraj told me how you scammed him
You spoke filth about my work and here you
Why did you do that!
Why the hell did you do that!
We told you we didn't touch the bag then why did you do it?
You enjoyed yourself thoroughly when that guy was threatening me didn't you?
He made tall claims of doing that and that much more to me
Shouldn't I show you guys what I'm capable of?
I went and said 'hello' to Azhagappan
You stupid
You think a hello to Azhagappan will solve your problem?
What do I need to do to make you trust me!
Will you believe me if Dharma dies?
Is that what it will take?
He's fighting for his life in the hospital now
What are you saying Iyer?
They attacked him
Azhagappan showed his true colours and set an attack on Dharma
Being punished for crimes he didn't commit,
seems to be written in Dharma's destiny
First he trusted Azhagappan and landed in jail
Then he trusted you and lands up almost dead in the hospital
Dharma is a selfless man,
With a loving family daughter, wife
His family was well-respected in Kancheepuram
He was happy with his business
He wanted to restore a building built by his grandfather
Run a free school for underprivileged children
He started the school and found a new meaning to his life with that
But he realised a good heart isn't enough,
He needed money to keep the school going
After much thought, he held a fund raiser for the school
Invited all the bigwigs to contribute
That's where he met Azhagappan
He was an ordinary jeweller
How much is he offering you?
But how much is he giving you?
It's for a good cause
I know he'll be generous
If he gives you a rupee more than one thousand don't see me
But if he gives you even a rupee less than thousand you must see me
How much do you need?
40-50
Lakhs?
Yes
Your family's good reputation precedes you here in Kancheepuram
And you supply sarees to the biggest store in Chennai too
With such a good network why do you have to look any further for your funds?
How will that network help?
Start a finance company
How can I run a finance company?
What are you saying?
All kinds of people run finance companies
today and they've reached staggering heights
Dharma was taken in with Azhagappan's words
Which made him believe he could run a finance company
I'll give you three times the interest
Give your investors two shares from that
And one you keep
Run your school, care for the kids and brighten their futures
Dharma started Sukra Finance backed by Azhagappan's assurances
And people flocked to invest owing to the high returns
The school was on its way to completion
And the trust Dharma had in Azhagappan grew significantly
I won't be coming here in next week
I have to supervise work at the school
Let me leave 3 blank cheques with you
You take care of things Sir
What is this nonsense?
You said I could take money out anytime
And now you want me to come after a week
I invested based on faith
Please don't get angry
How can I not be angry!
What sort of finance company are you running?
One moment please
Why can't I withdraw?
What's the matter here?
He pays every month regularly
And now wants to take his money out
I have asked him to come back after a week
That's all
Why does he need to return after a week?
Give him the cash right away
There's no cash in the account Sir
What!
One moment please
Where is all the money from our account?
Azhagappan drew all the money with the blank cheques you left him
Stop discussing and return my money to me this instant
Please keep your voice down!
Sir your money will reach you
So my tone is a problem now?
Return my money you rascal!
Watch your language!
Why do I need to speak to you with respect?
How dare you abuse?
Where are you? I'm going crazy looking for you
Why did you take all the money from the account?
There's no money here and the people are creating a huge ruckus outside
What are you saying Dharma?
There's no chance of something like that happening
Where are you now?
I'm in the office right now
The crowd outside is getting very violent
I've had to call the police to keep things under control
You've done the right thing Dharma
Now listen to me
I'm sending an inspector I know to get you
He'll take you out safely
You're asking me to get arrested?
Don't think of it as an arrest
The crowd is going crazy and could damage the office or worse, attack you
This is for your protection;
Just until they cool off till the evening
I will ensure that everyone gets their money back
Don't you trust me?
I've done everything because I trust you
Your belief will never let you down
I...
Shall I go?
Wait
He didn't use the goodwill his family had
I turned that into an opportunity for me to make money
You don't have to invest money to make a profit
This is just another way
Azhagappan made sure that Dharma couldn't get out of jail
But Dharma only wanted to return everyone's money with interest
That's how the idea to rob the jewellery store came about
And you reacted in a hurry
Bad things always happen to people with good intentions
Bad guys always fare well
I don't know what to say
I acted rash too soon
All my life I've cursed this man without knowing the truth of what happened
After hearing this, I feel really awful
Drop her off at Mount Road
Text me when you're home
Please wait
Stay with him till he recovers
It's a blessing to be in the company of good Samaritans
The Bible says there's a price to be paid for every misdeed
Let this be the price for all your wrongs in life
No point in feeling upset now
Hey, serve less
He made such elaborate plans to rob the store
All that's gone to waste now
I was sweating buckets when that Azhagappan spoke to me
Have you got jittery just for his talk?
And thats the guy's store you wanted to rob?
What a brave man you are!
4 omelets please
It'll take a while, I've turned everything off
We'll wait, light the stove again
What was your plan to rob the store?
Why do you want to know now?
Tell me Iyer
The shutters come down by about 10:30 at night
As Iyer narrated, the plan seemed possible
But there were plenty of risks
Alarms that went off if the shutters were touched
CCTVs on every floor
Beyond this, the locker and its door
I decided it could be done
But in my way
This was my plan
What a superb plan, not to rob a jewellery store but to land up in jail!
We don't need negativity when we are about to start things
Start what?
What do you mean?
To rob Sathya Jewellery
I don't understand
Iyer, we'll do the job
How?
We'll figure it out
You've lost your mind!
Are those omelets ready?
I'm doing the job, by hook or crook
You saw what Azhagappan did to Dharma just for thinking of the plan
And you have told the guy that we intend to rob him, well in advance
To make things worse, you've showed Azhagappan your face too
How will you do it now?
Iyer, think about it
If Azhagappan is far from us we won't have a clue of what he's thinking, but
But if we keep him close
Sir, write down your phone number
Good day Sir
Have you been asked to sit yet?
I'm sorry
Tell me why you're here
When I told you about Dharma, you said you didn't know him
But you've even gone and visited him at the hospital
So?
I would have made some profit with them, but now...
And no one knows more about profit than you Sir
Bye, sir
Let this be our last meeting
Of course
Bye, sir
Brother
Listen to me please
What?
Just give me 2 days
I have no answers and now he won't spare me
Listen to me, bro
Get lost
Keep this
We'll use it to buy things for our big heist
Where did you get this from?
From Azhagappan
Azhagappan gave you money?
He gave you money to rob his store?
This is my tip for tipping him off about Dharma
See how much money he's given just for information
Now that's what you call a big man
Azhagappan will do anything to get his work done!
What about your theory of keeping a close watch on him?
I've sorted that out too
'Bye, sir'
What?
Sir I think you acted too soon in Dharma's case
Assumed that would end your troubles with him
You may not have accounted for the people backing
him up on this and I suggest you check on this
I feel like there's a big group supporting him
And in the time you take to find them what if they already rob your store?
The logic is simple
Like Rat, trap and prey
If the rat try to eat the prey, it will be caught in the trap
I'm sure it will try to grab
It won't escape from the trap
You know well
So you've not only told him about the robbery, you've told him to come after us as well?
I've not told him to come after you
This is just my strategy to gain his trust first
Don't stress now
If I've calculated right, Azhagappan will call me anytime now
Didn't I tell you?
Azhagappan you'll live a 100 years!
Hello
Sonny...?
Who's calling
Azhagappan
Sir, please tell me
You said someone wanted to rob my store?
Who is it?
Dharma
Not him
His team Tell me about them
Dharma's team
Come on, tell me
I don't know their names but I can find out for you
Okay...!
You need to do me a favour
Sure, tell me
Join Dharma's team of thieves
Me? I'm too scared
I'll make sure nothing happens to you
This is a huge task Sir
I'll take care of your needs
No, sir
Don't you trust me?
Okay Sir
I'll do the job because I trust you
Work for them but show me your trust!
Definitely
Azhgappan took my thoughts and put them into words
I don't get your strategy
I just hope you do
What was that gold dealer's name?
Why now?
Tell me
Murthy
No reason to bring up the past now
What is it?
Nothing
If it's nothing, then the two of you deal with it
Why be a team at all!
He didn't say anything like that Calm down
Why should I keep calm?
I'm telling you guys everything Good or bad
Why can't you do the same!
Arjun don't leave
Where are you going?
You know well about him
Why do you have to whisper when he's still around!
3 tea please
Okay dude, we will come
He wants just the two of us to meet him
Where?
Iyer, give me Murthy's number
Why?
Just give it to me now
Understand that there's a reason I'm asking for it!
Give me a phone
One moment
Who is this?
I'm the guy who took your bag at the hotel the other day
I'll be right back
You really have the nerve!
Calling me after taking my stuff!
I understand your anger, but hear me out
I didn't know the bag belonged to you and I had no clue there was gold inside
Someone gave me the wrong information and I lifted your bag accidently
Who gave you the information?
Madhavan Iyer
I don't care who he is I won't spare any of you!
There's a small problem though
What?
The boy who worked with me has cheated both Madhavan
Iyer and me and disappeared with the stuff
What are you saying!
Believe me
I'm not that big a thief to mess around with your stuff Sir
Or why would I call and confess to you
Please trust me
The boy who took your stuff his name is...
Deva
Which area is he from?
I found where he stays
Give me just 2 days please
To return the stuff and bring Deva to you
Please trust me
Forget him for now
I need to see you in the next 1 hour
I'll call back and tell you where to come
You better show up!
Okay, bro
Hang up
Oh the politics I have to create to get things done...
Why are you calling these guys and volunteering so much information?
What's wrong with you?
And why use Deva's name?
There's one hand less in Azhagappan's game
I'm compensating for it
You're laughing with us now but put on a stern face earlier?
You're offering names and addresses
You're planning to pull a fast one on this guy anyway so why give our names?
Can't you just fake it?
Suppose he does go to verify this
all I've said will be true and he'll start trusting me
It's a risk Iyer, but a necessary one for him to rely on me completely
If he wants to believe me
Not just you or Deva,
I would have had to do the same even if it were someone else
Shall we go?
Where to? Who are you?
Just shut up and follow me
- This is the guy who stole your bike? - I don't know who is he?
Don't ask questions Come with me
Tell me
I can let you off saying it's a petty thievery
But you have 5 minutes to start talking
And put all the cases there are, on you
You'll die inside!
Sir... You called for me?
Sir, we brought a guy in on a case of cheating
But after roughing him up, he's talking about a really big heist of some sort
You beat him?
Bring him to my room immediately and come with him
What did he blab about?
He says he's going to rob Sathya Jewellery...
Sir, what is this?
Put his clothes back on and give him something to eat!
Take him away
I' ve told him everything I know
Please let me go Sir
You don't tell us what we have to do
We'll tell you about whatever you will do
Take him away
Did you get all the details?
Yes Sir
Let him go but keep an eye on him
Next time handle these guys with care
Please go
Should we alert Sathya Jewellery anyway?
Just to be safe...
Why don't you call the press too and let them know
Think like a cop, not like the staff of the jewellery store
Does he have a criminal record?
No Sir
There won't be a single witness to testify in court, and we'll look incompetent
Think and act
Sir, on second thought I still think this robbery plan is serious...
Then do as I say
The details of Sathya Jewellery are the same
But I'm changing the plan...
This is the plan Sir
What a good plan you've made!
Sir, they've made...
Anyway, what's your role in this?
I'm driving the car
I have to load the stuff into it and be ready to take off at any time
Sir, I can call you as soon as they load the jewellery into the car
No, don't call me then
I don't care what you do, stay with them the whole time
And give me constant updates on what's happening till the end
It's too risky What if I mess something up?
Surely it's not as big as the risk I'm taking!
How are they coming in from the terrace?
They plan to break through the Emergency Exit and enter from your office room
Shall I call you when they enter?
No...No...If they caught there, it's only an attempt to rob
How do they plan to get in to the vault?
They'll break through that too Should I call you then?
No, let them go in
If they go in, they'll steal everything
Let them steal!
That's what I want, only then does it become a case of robbery
Yes sir
As you said, we need to catch them in the act
I told as a flow
There's no better chance than this to lock up Dharma and his guys for good
Understood?
Yes Sir
So stay with them and keep reporting to me
I'll take care of where and when to catch them
See you
What's that guy doing here?
Who?
I don't trust his face one bit
And here you are believing him
This is not right
Let it be
How can I make you understand what's going on!
Call the manager and have him open the locker
- Wait outside - Okay sir
You couldn't keep your voice down earlier
So now tell me what is in each of these lockers?
Tell me
Tell me now!!
Do you know what is in this locker?
Bangles
What bangles? How much worth?
Their weight? Black, white...
You don't know a thing therefore you can't talk to me like that
I know exactly what I'm doing
Half of what is here is all black
And those don't come under our records
I do everything keeping my gains in mind
Just because some guy shows me a plan,
I can't be stupid and offer him everything on a platter
Do you know you can claim insurance in case of a robbery?
There's only profit to gain here
Claim insurance, change the black to white
At all of other than 'Dharma'
Don't worry
The gold may go from one cupboard to the other in here,
but it will never get past me
- What do you want? - Sir, I am going to meet SI
SI is on behind side Please go
Sir Here it
Can we please talk on the phone here on?
I get very scared coming here
Okay Leave
Sir, now that we know who they are, let's take action
Please sit down
This is just identification
We need solid evidence to take action Until then stay in touch with that guy
What if they clean out the store before we get there?
You care so deeply for Sathya Jewellers
Not quite Sir
Even if what this guy says is true about the robbery,
we can't catch anyone until it happens
Got it
You didn't tell him our plan did you?
I told him our plan
Every single word and drew it too
Good going!
I just remembered, my grandmother in the village passed away and I must leave
So I'll see you guys after...one year?
All the best with your plans
Iyer look after Arjun I'll be on my way
Sit tight! Where you to go?
I'm sure we're going to Puzhal prison
There's no time for fear or backing out, we've got to act now
I'll be there in 20 minutes
Why are you all standing there?
We are from the store
You either remain in the store or leave the spot
Don't wait on the roads
Uncle, I'm outside the store
Did you see anyone?
No, just a patrol car
Can I go down this road?
There's no way that side
How do I get to the main road?
There's no way from here, you need to go around through 10th Main Road
I'll reverse out then
Can you tell me where this address is?
I'm in the store Sir I'll finish the job and call you
They are inside the store
Sorry I got caught in a problem
But I'm free now and I have your stuff
Have your guys come to the Perambur market and I'll give it back
Stop on the side
Sir we are at the store and just about to move the stuff
They are waiting for me to get started Thought I'd let you know
Keep me posted on everything happening there
Can you stay on the line with me?
There are 5 others with me, so it's not safe to be on the phone
Right It is a big risk
Be it the other guys or your stuff, I know what target is Sir
And I won't miss
I have to go, they are calling me
What?
I'm wearing green underwear Why don't you tell him that too?
Let's go
They are all inside so why can't we go in and bust them?
Until the robbery is committed we can't do a thing
Have some patience
No one is inside, It's all clear
Save me Lord and be my bodyguard
Sir Not me...
Why are you shouting, idiot!
Oh it's you guys I prayed for you too
Go and check if those guys have come to lay the platform
Not yet
Okay Hold the tape
Mark here for 6 feet
I'm at the place where you asked me to come
Not there It's very crowded
You do one thing Come to Aalandur subway
You call this place crowded?!
If this is a ploy to leave me roaming aimlessly...
Why are you shouting!
If you want the stuff, show up where I tell you to
Where are you?
You've reached already?
I haven't even left
I just can't seem to find my damned bike keys
Where's our stuff?
Don't think you'll have it so
If you want it come to Anna Nagar now
Thank you Lord! Our work went well I'll see you soon
We are in Anna Nagar as you asked
Okay, come to 10th Main Road
Where is 10th Main Road?
You're familiar with Sathya Jewellery aren't you?
That's where it is
Tell me uncle
It's been a while since they went it
You should go and check
Anything can happen down
But if our timing is right only one thing will happen
If it gets messy,
Forgive me
Looks like we'll need more guys
Sir, the things are being carried down to the vehicle
Only I'm yet to go, just thought I'd let you know
All our people are down aren't they?
Yes they are
Just tell me which side you are coming down
Sir looks like they are climbing down the left side of the building
Left side?
Down the left side of the store, that's 10th Main Road
They are coming down the left side
10th Main Road but keep a check on the right side too
Sir, your people won't harm me at all, right?
I'm coming down only because I have faith in that
No one will harm you Don't worry
I'll call when we finish finally
Throw this on the right side
You said left to him?
Just do it
Uncle, the rope has come down the right wall
I knew he'd do that Rascal
Trying to mess with me with my stuff
Here's what you do
Come quick
Okay Uncle
They are sending the bags down this side as well
Not even a pin should go missing!
Catch all the guys too
Especially him!
Okay Uncle
Bring everyone this side
You want me to come inside the store?
If you want the stuff come in
Come on guys
Hey, do something Don't watch
Which door?
The one in front
Check properly
I can't open the gate
Push it!
It's not moving at all
Are you in line or not?
Sir, they are escaping from behind
I can't talk any longer It's too much of a risk
Your stuff is in the car Come and take it
In the car? Sorry boss
Sorry? I'll hit you, catch them
We've caught 7 of them with stuff
I swear Someone has trapped us
I beg of you
Shut up
These are just jewel pads!
The jewellery has been kept aside
Pandian Show him the bag
What is this?
They've emptied an entire vault and you're showing me one small bag
The interrogation is still on
We also have 10 other guys upstairs claiming to be your people
My people?
This is my son-in-law!
Didn't you tell them?
I told him
He did! That's why he's sitting in a separate room
Let him go
Why didn't you answer your phone?
They've taken it away!
Seem you are very busy
You are ignoring my calls
I've seen all your plays
You've done what you said
But you've informed me and did
What I go? You are a big shot
I should play with only you
I am one of the criminal Is you show your game with me?
Game? I haven't started the game yet
Okay, enough chit-chat Shall we meet?
Don't think too much You have no other option
You should listen to me That's the only option
Shall we meet?
You didn't tell me about the meeting spot
I asked you directly What do you want?
But first don't you want to know why all of this happened?
Remember Sukra Finance?
What about it?
The Bhagavad Gita says To get something you must give something
So give me a good price and take all your jewellery
I will
Your son-in-law jumps like he's being electrocuted!
Listen...
You have no dialogues left, just actions
Arrange 20 crores, call me and pay me
Then take your jewellery If you don't pay
Do your see that boat?
Your jewellery's on it
How is it?
Just one signal
Your total jewels all are will going to sea
Then your son-in-law c an swim his way to it
See you
Leave him We need the jewellery!
Let's go
Call the insurance guys and tell them to come
Don't badger me with your silly questions
Go to Parry's, collect the money from our
broker and throw it on those frauds faces!
All is not lost
We'll still profit from the insurance
Money has gone but I know how to deal with those guys
I've collected the money I'll reach them soon
Informed to him
How did you get here?
The money is for me anyway
Open the boot
You won't get a pie without returning the jewellery
If you don't give me the money, I won't even give you a pin!
Calm down
I can't carry around bags of jewellery
So give me the money now and take your stuff
I'm coming with you
Where's the jewellery now?
When will I get my insurance money?
I can't keep the store closed for 4-5 days
It's very embarrassing
Sir, just till the police verification is done It's for our paperwork
Where's my lawyer? I lost my jewels
I want my jewellery back I don't care about paperwork
My chest hurts...
Take the tablet and water
What, we should keep the jewellery there?
Then, why should we take such a risk?
We should keep jewellery there That is safe for us
We cannot bring that out
Even if we bring it out...
...we can neither hide nor sell and make money
What we need is money
I'm sure we will get that somehow
Bro, he has kept more cardboard instead of jewellery
Azhagappan himself is helping us to steal his shop...
...I'm sure he has more profit in this
I hope he is doing all this just for insurance only
His son-in-law is our only trump card
I am sure he will mess up at the right time
I believe you and I will surrender to the police
Will it work out?
You desired to do something big
So, be ready to take big risk too
Come with me Is he the one who stole your bike?
Sir, I don't know who he is
Even if you tell police that Azhagappan told you to loot the shop...
...they won't believe you
It will help us till our plan gets over
Sir, we are leaving
We will reach there in 20 minutes
According to Indian Penal code proof and witness assume significance
Didn't I tell you he is the one who enacted all this?
We have a witness as approver
I think he is doing all this for insurance money
Didn't you see how he got mad?
Simple logic, sir Rat, trap and prey
They should steal, that is what I want
I trust you and I will do this, sir
Is it true you did all this just for insurance claim?
Did you find all the jewellery?
- How much kilos gold, sir? - Ask one by one
Thank you Iyer
Don't thank me, please
All this money has to reach the right people
There's more to be done
Arjun help
Our job was only getting you the money
You don't need us to give it back
It's only right that you give these people their money back
I'd like to give one family their money back
How's Dharma?
He's better now
I'll leave now
Bye, aunty
One minute
Thank you very much
I'm just paying back for my actions in the past
Why do you thank me for this?
I've cheated several people but not seen those tears
Today, I saw the tears of a person who got back what they lost
And it makes me feel like I could change for the better
Took the bike without those boys knowing
I didn't go to the police because you said he's a friend
Here are the keys
Please get back my 25,000
Give me key
Thangaraj's 25000?
I'll give you that and more
Just hand me the keys please
Dude! We are settled
Don't dude I feel all this is wrong
Are you nuts?
What happened to him?
Let us not do this anymore Let us be honest
We will confess and surrender
Surrender?
You reformed for the sake of love
So, you both will get along
- What is our fault? - Good question
What else can we do to survive?
If we were sentenced to life...
We could have settled in jail
The serve chicken twice a week in jail
Finally you've made me cry too
Two years will get over in a jiffy
A golden opportunity awaits us when we go back
Brother, we have a good business plan
A golden Opportunity
You can work only in your spare time
Plan is simple
Multi level marketing
Sir, please pass on your gun
I will kill him and go to jail permanently
Leave me
