VALVETTITHURAI, SRI LANKA
Shall we leave?
Yes, Daddy!
Here! Right here! Please get down.
Have we arrived?
Pick up all the bags.
- Give the bag to me. - Hand it to your brother.
- Watch out! The boat is rocking. - Careful!
- It's pretty deep out here. - Appa is out here.
Please hold your Appa's hand.
- Let's go! - Oh, God!
RAMESHWARAM, TAMILNADU
Oh, God!
Hurry up! Watch out! Watch out!
Please stop!
Move fast!
Where are we going?
Shut up and walk. I'll explain later.
- Oh, no! - Hey!
- What happened? - I left the suitcase behind.
One minute!
- It's fine, let it go. - Don't go over there!
Stay right where you are!
If you run, we will shoot.
Please don't shoot. We're not criminals.
Oh, no!
Quickly, kneel! Kneel!
Raise your hands.
We are...
Who are you people?
Sir, Sir, we're not criminals. Please don't shoot.
Hey! I just asked who are you people?
I am Dharmadas. And this is my family.
We're coming from Sri Lanka.
Purpose?
We did not cross borders illegally.
Then how do you explain your arrival?
We lost our way, Sir.
Lost your way, you say.
Come on, everyone, follow me.
Tell them, "We wandered off to India while fishing in Sri Lanka."
If you keep blabbing like a fool they'll shoot us all.
Get over here!
Where were you planning to go in India?
Only my brother-in-law, Prakash, is aware of our destination.
It's him who has found a place for us.
- Prakash? - Yes, Sir.
Where's he now?
Once we arrive at the shore...
he asked us to look for him near "Do not litter board."
"Do not litter board?"
IT'S A CLEAN AREA PLEASE DO NOT LITTER
- Get up! - Sir!
Get up!
Move ahead.
Prakash?
Where's he?
This is where he was supposed to wait for us.
I reckon, upon seeing you, he may have fled.
Fled, you say!
He is quite a stout person.
He's not capable of running fast.
Even if he runs, he does it in the same spot.
I'm sure he's somewhere hiding around.
Hey, here you are!
We've been looking for you.
Get up!
How are you, Anna?
Who is it?
Hey, it's not like we're on a joyride.
Please beg to him.
Sir, please, Sir!
Back in Sri Lanka, life is tough.
You must be aware.
The inflation is bad.
Also, mounting debt.
Consider me as your brother...
...and help me!
What are you doing?
I don't understand your question.
I'm trying to reason with him to save our family.
If your intentions were to save our family you wouldn't bring us here.
What do you suggest that I do differently?
You never gave me time to think.
You dragged us out there in a hurry.
Listen, speak only if you can help.
If not--
Like you, I can't sit ducks without thinking about anything.
To me, my family is important.
Sir, please show some mercy.
I don't care what you want to do.
But...
...don't fall on his feet!
No son would like to see his father fall on someone else's feet.
By doing this you're making us look like villains.
I don't know who cursed you all.
You people are facing one conflict after another.
This curse is upon us forever.
Her name is Jenny.
Two years ago my father gifted me for my birthday.
She's one of our family members.
If I give you Jenny...
Will you raise her in my remembrance?
I won't expect money in return.
You say she's one of your family members yet you're giving her to me.
That's why I am giving her to you.
I don't understand.
I'm certain that you'll deport us all back to our country.
Certainly!
Back in our country mostly, we're not blessed with 3 meals a day.
Even when our father is hungry to feed us, he'll remain hungry.
Likewise, even when we're hungry...
...we can't feed our human food to Jenny.
At least you may feed her good food if she's with you.
What makes you think I'll feed her?
When we were boarding this vehicle you asked my uncle if he wanted water.
I did. What are you implying?
When you were considerate to offer water to a stranger...
I'm quite certain you'll feed pedigree to a stranger dog.
Are the dog and I equal to you?
Is he laughing at the dog or me?
What is your name?
Akash!
My son's name is Akash, too.
He's a mute.
If he were to speak...
He would've been a sharp tongue like him.
He's a brat!
We never met you.
Neither did you meet us.
Understood?
Thank goodness, Das, that you gifted Jenny to Akash.
Hey!
- Where did you find this dog? - What?
I found her when I went back to get the bag.
Immediately, I put her in the bag and brought her along.
Das, what is Akash saying?
So, Akash lied?
That means you never gifted Jenny to Akash.
Akash!
Do you mean to say her name is not Jenny?
Prakash, please!
Firstly, his name is not Akash.
Can you please be calm for a moment? I'm confused as it is.
Confused, you say!
It's a shame you don't even know your nephew's name.
How did you find out his son's name?
I saw a tattoo on his arm that read Akash.
And I noticed his name is Bhairavan on his uniform tag.
So, I deduced the tattooed name is not his.
I assumed that must be his son's name.
What if it was not his son's name?
He would've said, "My father's name is Akash..."
And he would've narrated a sad story for the same.
Relations may vary, but emotions are the same.
He's so smart that he can rule a country.
What do we do next?
Always dependent on me!
First, let's leave from here and find you a job.
Will I find a job?
You will! And you should make a lot of money.
So much that I'll block you and be happy to get rid of you.
Will you earn?
I will!
Come on! Pick up the old vessels!

Prakash, come over here!
What happened?
I think he fainted.
Call an ambulance!
Hey, he's sloshed and passed out.
- And you want an ambulance-- - Hey!
We don't know if he tripped and fell or sloshed.
- Call an ambulance right away. - Oh, no!
Looks like you're racing to become the next Mother Theresa.
Hello, ambulance!
What is his problem?
It's not like he's going to die.
You know how your father is. Be quiet!
Good heart, my foot.
It's this quality of his that made us refugees.

[in Punjabi] I've told you a million times yet you keep throwing it outside.
CHENNAI, TAMILNADU
Das...
You all will be living in this house.
It looks like a big house.
Not only the house but this area is big too.
The neighbors don't socialize.
This is the safest place for us.
The landlady seems to be a nice person.
But I sense that the landlord may cause trouble.
We must be careful with him.
Why? What does he do for a living?
I asked the same question to her.
Not once but thrice!
Nice smile.
You never mentioned what your husband does for a living.
Oh, my husband! You see, he is...
- One minute! - Okay, go ahead.
Kitchen work is never-ending.
God help me!
Ah... where were we?
I asked what does your husband do for a living?
Oh, my husband! You see, he is...
Who's this boy?
She's my daughter.
I think there's a small issue.
Please tend to it before it becomes a big issue.
Where were we?
It's okay. Let's forget about it.
You were asking what my husband does for a living.
Oh, my husband! You see, he is...
Madam, milk!
Please, go ahead.
Milk getting delivered post-noon is not unusual.
Go ahead!
I'm excited to see what hurdles we'll face when we ask her that question.
I'm expecting an earthquake.
Enough with your sass. Let's go inside.
You don't believe me?
Let me show you.
Step aside, sister.
Auntie!
Can we trust your brother?
Do we have a choice?
Are you the new tenants?
Yes! How about you?
We stay nearby.
This is my husband.
I'm getting late for work. Let's go!
See you later.
Let's go!
- Same smile. - Hello!
Sister...
No matter what, don't utter a word.
I'll handle everything.
Don't speak a word until you learn the local dialect.
Coffee or tea?
[Lankan dialect] Coffee! Anna, how about you?
Anna, too, will have coffee.
Sure, I'll get it.
Who is she?
Oh, her...
She's my daughter, Kural.
[Lankan dialect] Oh, she's very beautiful.
Oh, no!
Auntie, I did not follow that.
She meant...
She said you're beautiful in literature Tamil.
Thank you, Auntie.
What does your husband do for a living?
Oh, my husband! You see, he is...
See, this is what's been happening. See for yourself.
Here he comes!
I'm very eager to meet him.
Meet my husband.
Inspector!
He is a Police Inspector!
Damn you, woman!
Why didn't you mention it before?
- New tenants? - Yes, it's them!
Why is he approaching me?
R. Raghavan!
Das! Dharmadas!
It's basic manners to stand up while shaking hands.
I don't mind standing up.
But I'm afraid our lips may touch.
Oh!
Sir, I'm delighted to meet you.
- Where do you work? - I'm looking for a job.
I've conversed with a few.
- Oh, no! - I'll find one soon.
Don't you worry, Sir!
They will promptly pay the rent.
Please speak.
- What do you want me to speak about? - Speak, you say!
Didn't you mention it as conversing?
What are you staring at?
I found out when you uttered the first word.
That you're not from Tamilnadu.
Sir?
Are you going to say it?
Or shall I say, where are you from?
You're from Kerala!
Am I correct?
How did you find out, Sir?
My college friend and his family speak the same dialect.
I wonder on which ship they arrived.
What?
I said you'll be rewarded with two more stars.
God's gift!
Your son is very cute. What's your name?
[in Malayalam] Sir, my name is Joseph Kuruvilla.
This is my country.
I run a small bakery--
I'm Mulli, Sir!
Mimicry? Good one!
- You'll be staying here, though. - Yes, Sir.
- We'll meet again. - Sure!
- Are you from Kerala, too? - No, Sir. I'm from Palakkad.
Palakkad?
Isn't that Kerala, too?
Listen closely.
From today, you all hail from Kerala.
Your nationality is India.
I'll arrange the necessary documents to support it.
No matter what, don't tell anyone that you people are from Sri Lanka.
Specifically, don't speak to the Police downstairs.
Make sure to learn the local dialect as soon as possible.
If you can't, then keep your mouths shut!
Sure, we won't converse with anyone.
It's not converse, say, talk, or speak.
Repeat after me.
- We won't speak. - We won't speak.
Thanks, Anna!
Don't mention it.
I'm meeting you all after so many years.
If not me, who else would help?
- I'm leaving. - Okay.
Das, don't wear your lungi and go to the tea shop.
Not everyone will be a fool like the Police downstairs.
- Take care. - Call me if you need anything.
Wonderful person...
- Just like you. - Hmm!
House...
Do you like it?
Oh!
I couldn't speak much in the morning.
- How are you, dear? - I'm good!
I'm sure you're yet to get a gas connection.
So, I made tea for everyone.
Thank you so much. Please come in.
It's okay. My husband is taking a shower.
So I sneaked out to bring you tea.
He's not a very social person.
Please don't mind him.
I did not.
I don't know why...
...I felt that I must talk to you when I saw you.
Okay, dear, I'll take my leave.
- Sure. - Bye, son.
- Did she give tumblers, too? - Of course!
Why aren't you asleep?
Somehow, I managed to bring you all here.
But I'm unsure what to do next.
We can't be dependent on your brother for life.
Soon, I will have to find a job.
Everything will fall into place.
Hey, watch out for the door.
Careful! Place it in that corner.
What's all this?
Rightfully, as a brother I should've done this for your wedding.
I wasn't there hence now.
Why formalities?
Don't get emotional, dear.
I bought it all at the second-hand shop.
Go ahead!
This belongs to my landlord.
When he stepped out I sneaked out the deity's picture.
- Please bring me coffee. - Sure!
If I keep speaking you'll never stop smiling.

Why is he glaring at me?
- Why are you like this? - Sir?
Why aren't you wearing new clothes?
New clothes?
Are you people truly Malayalis?
Umm, Sir...

Onam, is it?
Happy Onam, uncle.

RAMESHWARAM, A FEW DAYS AGO...
Please spare me! You've got the wrong person.
Please spare me, Sir.
Sir, please don't do it.
Hey, he went unconscious. Check on him.
Okay, Sir. Hey, follow me.
Hello!
Where did it happen?
Hey! Hey, bring the stretcher over here!
Quickly clear the media.
- Hey, bring the stretcher! - Sir, please don't go over there.
- Watch out! - Quickly move!
Hey, take him to the ambulance right away.
- Watch out, Sir. - Don't you understand?
Hurry up!
Everyone, please step aside!
Who called for the media?
Ask the media to leave!
- Move back. - The vehicle is arriving.
Please make way for the vehicle.
They planted a bomb in the dustbin.
Any causalities?
Luckily, no, Sir.
Only a handful are injured.
We have admitted the injured to the hospital.
Sir, we could only recover minute pieces of the bomb.
From our observation, we're sure they've used the IED bomb.
We can only tell if a timer or a trigger was used after further proceedings.
When was the last time the dustbin was cleared?
It must be a week before.
CCTV footage?
We've collected them!
Other state vehicle numbers entered Rameshwaram during the last week.
Also, the information on the new tourists that visited should be collected.
Okay, Sir.
Track everyone you see on the CCTV footage.
In two days, I need all the details.
- Sure, Sir. - Okay.
Head constable!
What is it?
I want you to see something.
- What is it? - Please wait.
I suspect they may be behind the bomb blast.
Just because he threw trash in the dustbin?
Sir, please set aside your humanity to think practically.
They are illegal immigrants from another country.
We don't know why and for why they're in our country.
Didn't they tell us their country is in conflict?
What makes you believe they're telling the truth?
Did we investigate thoroughly? No!
Did we check their belongings? No!
Did we enquire about their whereabouts? No!
We did not follow the protocol and let them slide scott-free.
Are you going toward the main road?
Yes!
I'm heading in the same direction. Could you please drop me?
Don't be afraid! I'm your neighbor.
I'm a small boy.
Thank you so much.
One minute!
Are you not heading this way?
No!
I assumed you were heading this way, so I got dropped here.
I'm heading in your direction as well. Could you please drop me?
Shall we?
Over here! Stop here!
This is my school. Good, right?
Thank you so much.
[humming a Tamil song]
Hey, Mulli, did you finish your maths homework?
In Kerala, they never assign homework.
Is it?
Good morning, students!
- [all] Good morning, Sir! - [Mulli] Good morning...
Yes! Sit down!
Everyone, take out your textbooks.
Turn to page number 86.
Sir...
Are you our social science teacher?
Yes.
But why were you absent for so many days?
I was on a personal leave.
Oh!
I didn't realize you worked in this school.
If you knew, would you have avoided asking for a lift?
If I had known, I would have asked you to drop me off inside the school.
Unnecessarily, I got dropped outside.
Are you from Sri Lanka?
How-- How do you know?
Your dialect says it all.
Did you come to India by boat?
No, no! We are tourists!
We arrived on a flight.
All my documents are at home.
I have passport and visa.
Oh!
Was it your first time on a flight?
Yeah!
How was the experience?
Appa, Appa, Appa, the boat is rocking.
Appa, I'm scared. Please hold the boat.
Oh, no, I don't know swimming.
Don't fret I'll help you.
Appa, you too don't know how to swim.
Oh, it was an unforgettable experience.
Okay, go back to your seat.
Here you go!
Thanks a lot, Machan!
I did not make the tea. He did!
Hey, I was thanking you for your help.
You're thanking me as if I'm a stranger.
We are family. We have each other's back.
Just because I helped you a lot, don't hesitate to ask for more help.
Don't hesitate and ask away.
I want a driving license.
No hesitation at all!
Can you or not?
I can. But why?
One of the neighbors is looking to hire a driver.
He's offering 30,000 salary per month.
I'll take up the job if I have a driver's license.
Look, this is not Jaffna but Tamil Nadu.
First, you must familiarize yourselves with the locality and the routes.
Only then can you apply for a license.
It's easy.
If I take a right from your house in Vadapalani, I'll arrive at Ashok Pillar.
And then, if I take a left,
T. Nagar, Alwarpet, Mylapore, Santhome Church, Mount Road.
Then, if I take the bypass,
Tambaram, Chengalpet, Villupuram, Trichy, Madurai.
- He traveled to Madurai! - That's it!
I asked four auto drivers to find out your address.
How did you learn so much?
What do you think I have been doing since I arrived?
To survive in a new country, I must toil myself.
I'll get you a driver's license.
Drink your tea.
So...
...you, your wife, and two children.
- Am I right? - Yes, Sir.
How good a driver are you?
My father was a driver back in the day.
Is he going to take up this job?
I meant, since childhood, my father taught me--
Stick to business.
Okay, Sir.
Why does your Tamil dialect sound different?
You see...
Sir, as he's from Kerala, his Tamil is not great.
Can't he speak for himself?
He can! But not as good as you could!
He can speak. Hey, speak up!
Erm... my native is Kerala.
It's been only a month since I started conversing in Tamil.
I cannot hire you permanently at your whim.
I'll temporarily appoint you for a week.
If I like your performance, we may proceed.
In case you don't like my performance...
...would you still pay me for that week?
This is not fair!
I'm not forcing you to work.
If you disagree, you can leave right away.
Hey, Krishna!
Where are you?
What do we do now?
Now, you ask?
Tell him you disagree!
Instead of working for him, you can sit idle at home.
He may be short-tempered.
But he doesn't seem like a bad person.
Oh, I believe this man reminds you of your father.
- How did you figure it out? - It's written on your face.
Please don't compare your father with him.
Your father may be short-tempered. But knows how to respect people.
Since we arrived, he never respected us.
Anna, tea or coffee?
- Anything works. - Eh!
Anna, please don't mind me.
I'm sure you won't get this job.
Care to explain?
It was the same case with the previous applicants.
Oh, he's employing everyone for a week and not paying them, right?
- I didn't mean that. - What do you mean?
- Sir, is here, I'm leaving. - To hell with your Sir.
Look, his own employee spilled the truth.
Tell him you don't like him, and let's leave.
So, have you decided?
Tell him.
Sir, you see, this job--
Anna, here you go.
- Listen! - Sir!
When my friends and relatives come home...
...do you always serve them in this cup?
No, Sir.
When you joined us, were you served coffee in this cup?
No, Sir.
Then why did you serve them in this cup?
Take this away and bring it in the usual cup.
- Go! - Okay, Sir.
Idiot!
I apologize, guys.
I have decided.
I agree to your terms.
Hey, what's wrong with you?
Good!
Bring your original documents tomorrow...
and start your job.
- Okay, Sir. - Temporarily!
Coffee will be served. Please have it before you leave.
Jesus!
What do you want?
Appa, this is Lavariya.
I made this after a very long time.
So I came to drop some with you.
She's not well. She does not eat sweets.
I know that Amma hasn't been well since morning.
I brought it for you.
Is this your wedding album?
No, no! It's my birthday gift to her.
Oh!
This album has photos from her childhood until now.
- Is it? - Yes!
I collected it all with much difficulty.
- May I see it? - Sure!
My birthday is not today but tomorrow.
Of course, I know!
Watch now!
How's it?
Appa, I don't see any relatives in any of these photos.
We eloped and got married.
So, both our families cut ties with us.
Keep looking.
It's beautiful.
Our wedding album is in the cupboard. Would you like to see it?
Our wedding album!
Do you have time?
- I do! - One minute.
- I'll check it out. - I'll bring the album.
[Idhayakkani - Neenga Nalla Irukonum]
[Namma Muthalali - Nallavanukku Nallavan]
[Kadavul Ennum Mudhalali - Vivasayi]
Next time, I won't think twice.
I'll push you out of the running car.
Appa!
Amma asked me to bring you lemon juice.
What did you say your native is?
K-- Kerala, Sir!
Son, did you eat?
Are you people Sri Lankan Tamils?
If we agree, would you get us caught?
I trust you!
Hey!
Damn you, rascal!
I ought to!
He's becoming a bigger nuisance by the day.
Hey, step out!
Step out!
How many times should I tell you?
Open the door!
- How dare you vomit at my doorstep? - Sir, sir, sir!
- Sir! - Hey!
How many more times should I tell you?
Every day, you cause trouble for everyone.
Aren't you ashamed of yourself?
Before I return, I want you to clean it up.
Where are your parents?
I don't know what you're going through right now.
I'm right here if you wish to converse with me.
Doctor, is he okay?
You've beaten him up like an animal.
And you've dragged me into this mess.
Doctor, is there a chance he'll survive?
If you have faith in God, pray that he should survive.
What happened to the bomb blast case?
Did you check the CCTV footage?
We're checking, Sir.
What the heck were you doing all this while?
Can't you handle this small task?
Sir, in a day, at least 20,000 tourists visit Rameshwaram.
Moreover, the dustbin is placed in a prime location.
Even the school kids use that dustbin.
To top it all...
...the quality of the camera footage out there is terrible.
You and your Tamil folks are good at giving excuses.
Or you must be helping the perpetrator 'cause he's one of your own.
Definitely no, Sir.
One minute, Sir.
Hey, what the hell are you guys doing?
What's taking you so long?
Hang up! I'm on my way.
- Sir-- - Muruga!
You're needed downstairs.
What's wrong with you guys?
Sir, they say this case might be transferred to the CBI.
If they find out about that family, they'll not spare us.
Have you guys lost it?
Elections are around the corner. It could be anyone.
Just because he threw trash...
...we can blame the family for such a heinous crime.
I agree! I agree they're good people.
Let's come clean and let Balwan, Sir, be the judge of it.
I have a family to look after as well.
If we run into trouble in the future...
Don't take me wrong. I'll confess and walk away.
Amma!
- Did you hear? - What was that noise?
- Bro, bro, bro, please... - Hey, Nithu!
- Don't move! Sit tight! - What happened? Who's he?
Amma, he came to steal.
- Thief! - But I caught him!
- Quickly call the Police! - Police?
What are you waiting for? Quickly call the Police!
Where am I going to find a Police at this hour?
- Hurry up and climb. - What happened?
Stay put!
Here, the Sir has arrived!
Hold on!
- Sir, please bring the Police. - Sure, right away!
- Hurry up! - Hey!
You're the Police! Where are you going?
I was going to wear my uniform.
To hell with you!
Bloody thief!
How did you get past the locked gate?
Answer me!
How did you get past the locked gate?
You won't speak, is it?
Nithu, check his phone.
Give me the phone.
- Bro, please don't. - Fingerprint lock!
Check the last dialed number.
Pondatti? [wife]
Sir, it says wife.
Call that wife.
- Oh, no! - Sir, Sir, Sir, please don't call.
Bro, bro, bro... Sir, please don't call.
Bro, bro, bro, please don't call.
- It'll cause problems. - Damn this thing.
Why are you so scared?
You're yet to hit puberty.
- And wanting a wife. - Sorry, Sir.
Hello!
Tell me, Baby.
Hello! Are you there?
Hello?
- Who are you? - Tell me who you are.
How did my Baby's phone end up with you?
You see, your Baby got caught stealing at my house.
What rubbish are you talking about?
It's not rubbish! R for Raghavan!
Hey, what is it?
Hello?
- Ha-- Is it Harini? - Yes!
And you?
Hey!
How could you cheat on me with my friend?
A while ago, you were with me.
Damn you!
Oh, no!
He's not a thief.
I called him home to meet.
Enough?
- What is your daughter saying? - I have no clue!
What is this, dear?
My head is spinning!
Don't panic!
We'll discuss it at home.
Your veshti is coming off.
Poor thing!
Let's go and console them.
How can we be involved in their matters?
- Let's go! - That's not true love.
I messed it up!
Finally, you got your revenge.
Hey!
Boss, could you please untie me?
Oh, so-- sorry, Boss!
Why didn't you mention about the affair?
As if it would've helped.
If you're having an affair, please tell me...
My brother will fight with his life for you.
Amma!
Listen...
- Here you go. - I forgot about it.
- Shall we go? - Sure, Sir.
I'm leaving!
Vasanthy!
Could you do me a favor?
What happened, Ma?
Usually in the morning...
...my husband wakes me up.
But today, I don't know what happened. I woke up already.
But... he's still asleep.
Please...
Please, can you wake him up?
Did you try waking him up?
I'm sure he's just asleep.
Okay, Ma!
Let's go and check on him.
I'll go and check on him.
Appa!
What happened? What are you doing over here?
Amma came to me and asked to wake you.
- That's all! - Oh!
I was tired.
I overslept!
- What time is it? - It's 09:00 a.m.
Oh!
Karasi must've got scared that I didn't wake her.
- Hmm. - She's petrified!
Where's she?
She's outside. Please go ahead.
My dear Mangayarkarasi, it sounds like you got scared.
She's sleeping, right?
Karasi?
Karasi, I was asleep.
Karasi?
Karasi...
...I'm scared now. Wake up.
Karasi!

I'm aware, Sir. I'll check in the morning.
Make that first priority.
Okay, sir.
- Sir! - How many times will you visit?
Don't you understand? Get out of here.
- Stop annoying. - Sir, it's my brother.
- I'm warning you. - Sir, he's only got me.
- Please, Sir. - I'll slap you!
- Get out! - Sir!
Sir, it's my brother!
Please, Sir!
- Sir! - Hey, listen!
In the end, nothing matters.
She feared her husband died...
...and that fear killed her, too.
Imagine the love they had for each other.
I wish to live a life like theirs.
Nithu!
I'm going to drink water.
- What's the problem? - Sir, my brother is missing.
But they're refusing to file a complaint.
- Refused to file a complaint, you say. - Yes, Sir.
I've been coming to the station every day.
He has no one but me.
He'll be suffering without me.
Fine, please don't cry.
We'll find him!
Here, have some water.
Okay, give me his details.
- How does he look? - He's very cute looking.
I meant to say he's fair-skinned.
He's got a big nose.
He'll be wearing a red collar.
Also, his tail is furry.
- Tail? - Yes, tail, Sir.
Is it a dog?
Sir, don't call him a dog. He's my brother.
Damn you!
- Get up! - Please, Sir!
Hey, get up!
Are you kidding me?
Is it a rule that we can only feel for humans, not dogs?
If you speak another word, I'll break your teeth.
We're stressed as it is, and you're troubling us to find a dog.
- Get out of here! - Sir, please understand.
Without me, he'll die!
Please leave before I lose it.
You better go!
Okay, Sir, I'm leaving.
Next time, you'll find me as a corpse.
Perhaps you'll realize the importance when a human dies for an animal.
I'm going to die, Sir.
One minute.
What do you think he would say?
Do you mean Richard, Sir?
I don't know.
- Name of the dog. - Rusty!
Identification?
- I did mention furry tail-- - All dogs have furry tails.
Give me something else.
There'll be a black-heart engraved on his red collar.
Black-heart engraved on his red collar?
Yes, Sir!
Now tell me precisely...
Where did you lose your dog?
The last time I took him for a walk on the beach.
That's where I lost him.
Do you have a picture of your dog?
You mentioned he never said anything.
What's your next plan?
I don't know what's next.
But I'm sure about one thing.
Hereafter, there will be no problems in our lives.
Hey, why is he barking?
Mulli, what happened to Jenny?
Jenny, why are you barking?
Sir, this is Rusty.
♪ Is it over, my dear people? ♪
Akash!
- That's enough! - Hey!
- You're way too drunk. - Listen...
I didn't want anyone to question me, so I sent my wife to her mother.
One thing I could not digest is...
...that he fooled me, saying it's a female dog when it's male.
I won't forgive him!
When I was carrying that dog in my arms...
...I felt something on my hand.
But I ignored it!
Had I been vigil on that day...
- I would've caught it! - What would you catch?
- I meant the family. - Oh!
What do you suggest we do?
The family that conned me...
I won't spare them!
Oh, God! It's her!
Nithu, run!
You don't have to be scared.
Actually, I never expected it to happen.
That doesn't mean I'm going to apologize.
In a way, I did you a favor.
Oh!
You make a good point.
But it outrages me...
...that I canceled my higher studies abroad for him.
London!
- Why didn't you go? - Of course, for him.
One day after school, he came crying to me.
Asking you not to go?
That would've been better.
But he approached it differently.
"You go ahead."
"It doesn't matter if you return."
"I will come to you."
"Crossing seas."
He said it with an intense emotion.
I, too,
got floored by his charming approach.
And decided to stay back.
So, you were impressed by him.
What else do you expect?
Back then, I wasn't mature enough.
Had it been now, I would've reacted differently.
How old were you then?
18 years old.
Now?
In three months, I'll complete 18.
What? I'm mature now!
Kural!
Actually, I have a girlfriend.
What the heck?
Who do you think you are?
Nithu! Nithushan!
So, where's she now?
Erm... Sri Lanka!
Sri Lanka?
You're not aware of our story.
I was born and brought up in Sri Lanka.
Everything was going well.
After the inflation, life got difficult.
And our father brought us here on a boat.
He planned to create fake documents and become Indian citizens.
On our way here, we got caught by the Police,
but we managed to escape.
Ultimately, we ended up living in a Police officer's house.
Clueless about what to do, we lied about being from Kerala.
I'm hungry. See you later.
One minute.
What gave you the impression that you told me the truth?
I trust you that you will not tell anyone.
Did I make a mistake?
I won't tell anyone!
You seemed to be happy today.
The driver's job is mine!
What makes you so confident about it?
There's a huge difference between how Richard, Sir, saw me earlier
and his current perception of me.
So, he won't let go of me.
What if you're wrong?
If he did not offer me the job...
I will happily move on to find another job.
But I will not sulk over it.
- I don't get it. - Your seven days are up.
You're not appointed.
I swear, I won't play music in the car.
It's not about the music.
Did I drive rashly?
Or did I cause an accident?
What's my fault?
I'm not obligated to explain.
Everyone warned me that you're rich and arrogant.
I never believed it.
But now you've proved me wrong.
You're a terrible person who does not care about others' welfare.
Get out!
Get out of here!
- Ma, why are you embarrassing me? - Don't argue!
Vasanthy, my husband, and I are heading out for an event.
Plumbing works are on in the house.
Could you please keep her company until we return?
Sure, Akka, it's my pleasure.
Come in!
- Bye, Vasanthy. - Bye! Go safe!
Please sit. I'll bring you juice.
Juice!
Why isn't he answering?
Nithu!
Nithu, open the door!
What is it, Ma?
It's 06:00 p.m., and your father is not home yet.
Amma!
His phone is switched off.
Go and check at Richard Sir's house.
He's not a kid.
He'll eventually come home.
Amma!
What do you want?
I looked for Jenny everywhere.
But I could not find her.
She must be around somewhere.
Please let me be in peace.
Where were you all this while?
Why is your phone switched off?
Are you drunk?
I asked if you were drunk.
Yes, I'm drunk!
You swore on me that you'd quit drinking.
I'm talking to you!
I got fired!
Enough?
Appa...
Appa!
I chased away the dog.
It won't return anymore.
For God's sake, don't piss me off.
Who gave you the right to chase it?
Who should I ask?
You must ask him.
It's him who brought it here and raised it.
So you're obligated to take his permission.
If he has a problem, he should stand up for himself.
You should not stand up for him.
If someone's silent, it doesn't mean they don't have a problem.
Sometimes, it's a sign of respect.
Like I was.
Nithu!
What's your problem?
Tell me, what's your problem?
I asked you a question!
Nithu, don't say anything. Go inside!
This! This is the problem!
Without considering others, you do things according to your will.
That's the problem!
Amma cleans the house.
You should've thought about her before littering the house.
Oh, no, what are you doing?
- Let it go. I'll clean it. - Oh, no!
Forgive me!
The Boss has spoken!
That I don't care about anyone.
I don't care about my wife.
I don't care about my elder son.
I don't care about my younger son.
My...
Do we have a daughter?
- She's our neighbor's daughter. - Oh!
Don't mind me, dear!
I was distraught.
So I drank a little too much.
Why are you creating a scene now?
Am I creating a scene, or you?
Since we arrived, you haven't spoken a word to me.
You know why?
Because he's angry at his father.
You chose that girl over your father.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
What did I do that made you so angry at me?
I brought you here. That's it!
What do you expect I should've done?
Would you be happy if we left you behind?
Come on, be honest with me.
If you were in my shoes, would you abandon your children?
You must've dragged them with you!
I did the same!
Do you think you're suffering alone?
More than you, I'm suffering beyond what you could think.
I abandoned my roots for good!
For whom do you think?
What's your problem now?
I separated you two.
I will reunite you both.
I don't know how, though.
But I will reunite you both. Enough?
You cannot do it!
She got married.
This morning.
Are you serious, Nithu?
To be honest, I felt very guilty.
That I disappointed you.
But now I'm guilt-free!
Say it's been ten-fifteen days since we arrived.
In fifteen days, she forgot about you and got married to someone else.
I can't believe you're sulking over her.
That's enough!
If you speak another word, I won't spare you.
- What will you do? - What?
- Nithu! - Tell me, what?
Do you think you can say anything and get away with it?
There's a limit to everything.
This is your limit!
You don't have any right to speak about my personal life.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
If you had a daughter...
And her lover eloped to another country without informing her...
Would you wait for him to return?
You would've coerced her to marry, wouldn't you?
Her parents must've done the same!
She must've married out of force, not for her happiness.
And you accused me...
...that I'm angry at you for bringing me away from her.
I am angry!
But she's not the reason.
Since childhood, you have gone through a lot to raise me.
I've always felt bad thinking about how I am going to repay you.
I was rest assured that I'd land a job in a campus interview.
I was waiting to retire you and take care of you.
But you brought me here...
...and destroyed my plan.
That's why I'm angry at you.
All your hard work to educate me went in vain.
That's why I'm angry at you.
When I see you cleaning that car daily...
I feel helpless!
That's when...
I get angry at you.

Ah, okay, auntie.
My son is unlike others.
Nithu never expresses his anger over food.
I'm eating because you cooked.
- Do you want me to leave? - Hey, I'm telling the truth.
Okay, I won't speak. You, please eat.
Nithu...
Please forgive me.
I couldn't take it that you stopped speaking to me.
Hence...
...I spoke ill about her.
You must be heartbroken.
I can't even imagine how she must be feeling.
Please forgive me!
Appa, don't be upset.
I'm not angry anymore.
Also, please forgive me.
I, too, out of anger, spoke disrespectfully.
Hey, don't bother about it.
Please eat!
- Appa! - What is it, Son?
I want to show you something.
That's her!
Today, at her wedding...
[Malaiyuru Naatama - Mambattiyan]
Don't you dare laugh! I'll kill you!
Here you go.
It's heartbreaking to watch.
Damn!
She promised to dance to this song at our wedding.
But now she's dancing for someone else.
Oh, no!
- How will I enjoy this song anymore? - It'll be hard on you.
Whenever I hear this song, I'll be reminded of her.
Oh, God!
[Malaiyuru Naatama - Mambattiyan, resumes]
Now tell me! Does this song still remind you of her?
Appa, come on!
- Appa, come! - My dear, sweet boy!
- Anna, you too come. - Hey, come on!
- Come on! - I'm not coming.
- Come on! - Come dance with us.
Did you check on that boy at the hospital?
I did! Doctors said he won't survive.
Bloody fool!
Who told you to beat him up?
Who gave you the right?
Incompetent officers!
Look, if the boy dies...
...you will be in prison.
If you wish to save your job, solve the bomb blast case.
- Is that clear? - Sir!
Sir!
Just because he speaks your language, you spared him.
You got me wrong, Sir.
Then why did you let him go--
Why are you glaring at me?
Oh!
Perhaps you have some connection with that family.
Or are you an accomplice to the bomb blast?
Sir, it's not confirmed that they're the culprits.
Oh!
Shall I state you're the culprit and close the case?
Sir!
Shall I close the case, stating you're the culprit?
No, Sir!
Good!
So, rectify your mistake.
I want that family.
And I want them right away.
You're going to help me. Understood?
Yes, Sir!
What do you want?
I want to talk to you.
No matter your excuse, you don't have a job here. Get out!
I know that you will never go back on your decision.
- I'm not here for the job. - Then why are you here?
Please forgive me!
Yesterday, I conversed with disrespect.
I believe that I will get the job.
But when you fired me, I panicked 'cause I didn't know what's next.
Out of spite, I called you a terrible person.
Please forgive me.
If you're done talking, you may leave.
I'll take my leave. Please take care.
There's one more thing.
I told you a lie to secure this job.
My native is Sri Lanka, not Kerala.
Due to the conflict in our country, I brought my family over here.
I was afraid I might not get a job if I told you the truth--
Start the car, I have to go to the salon.
I don't understand.
Were you aware of it earlier?
[in Malayalam] When you spoke in the Lankan dialect,
I understood you were not from Kerala.
Start the car!
So, the seven-day trial was not for my driving skills.
It was to test whether I was true to myself.
Am I right?
I don't know what to do.
May I hug you once?
- No! - No, I will hug you!
I will hug you! Sir!
I knew that you were always a good person.
Das!
This is your month's salary in advance.
Buy something nice for your wife and kids.
Hey! Okay!
I know what's running on your mind.
For God's sake, don't--
- Let go of me. - I won't!
I won't let go. Thank you so much, Sir.
Okay, calm down.
- Go! Start the car. - Sure!
- I'm going, Sir. - Please go!

To be honest, until I arrived, I was a bit afraid.
Now I'm not afraid anymore.
Kerala?
Sorry, Sir!
You see, my Malayalam friend speaks this Tamil dialect.
I swear!
Brother...
how do you say "Speak" in Sri Lankan Tamil?
Kathaikurathu [converse]
I'm conversing, brother!
- That's enough, Anna. - Please eat well.

Hey, didn't they say they're not from Kerala?
Can't you please shut up?
Don't remind me of it.
I have chickpeas curry. I'll bring it for you.

So, what's next in life?
I'm going to London for post-graduation.
- What? - Nothing!
This time I will go to London.
No one can stop me!
It's enough if I say one lie to you, pretending to be your friend.
You will not go anywhere.
You go ahead, and I'll follow.
I will come to you crossing the seas!
If you were my boyfriend,
you would not have to lie about this matter.
Because...
You've already crossed a sea to meet me.
Hey, Vasanthy, come on!
Hey!
- I won't dance. - Dance!

[Ada All Thotta Boopathi - Youth]
Dinesh, I sent you a vehicle's registration number.
I want to know the owner's details right away.
Yes, right away!
TRICHY, TAMILNADU
Sir, that's him!
Look, all we need from you is where you dropped off the family.
I will make sure you're not in trouble.
I've never spoken to any one of you before.
Still...
...you all are here because an old man requested your presence.
If my wife knows about it...
...she'll be very happy!
I'm not a great believer in God.
If truly there's a God...
...I'll pray that you and your wife reunite in your next birth.
Why did he come over here?
Why did this idiot come over here?
Why are they even letting him talk?
I don't know what he's going to talk about.
He's going to cause trouble.
Please don't be scared.
I'm not here to cause any trouble.
Tonight, I'm leaving for Dubai...
...to start a new life.
Good for everyone!
And you...
...I feel it's wrong to have admitted that you're not a believer in God.
Perhaps you have not met God before.
I didn't mean to offend anyone.
Hey, why are you arguing with him?
Stick to what you were about to say.
We are not interested in your loose talk.
Not just me!
No one has the time to listen to others.
You all are only interested in your life and happiness.
Because you don't care about others' welfare.
If not for this man, none of you would've attended this memorial.
I'm well aware!
I've lived in this neighborhood since I was a child.
My mother and I!
My mother is no more!
Do any one of you know?
Huh? Anyone?
For two years, you've been calling me a drunkard and troublemaker.
Did it occur to even one person to ask if I was going through something?
But this man bothered to ask.
Sir, you don't know how much you've helped me without your knowledge.
Did you eat, Son?
We just had our meal, Ma!
Oh, we ate already...
I don't remember.
Did you eat, Son?
Ma! We just had our meal!
Since that day, that was her only question to me.
But suddenly, one day, she asked me a new question.
♪ The truth has turned into a lie ♪
- Son... - Huh?
What is your name?
♪ Fate has turned into a reality Where to now? ♪
♪ You showered love unprompted ♪
♪ Now you left me alone... ♪
My mother stopped recognizing me.
♪ Rest in peace, my heart No one is permanent here ♪
Six months later, she passed away.
There was a point where I had no purpose in life.
I decided to commit suicide.
♪ When we rise independently, Their speech will vary ♪
♪ How will this change? ♪
♪ We arrive here as a drop ♪
I could not bear the pain.
It was hurting like hell.
I regretted my decision.
I was yearning for someone to save me.
But no one came.
I came to terms with the fact that my time was up.
But...
That's when I saw you.
My God!
Hey!
Hey, Son! Son!
- Please, hurry, Sir. - Are they coming?
In five minutes, an ambulance will be here.

Do you know something, Sir?
Do you know who first asked if I ate after Amma passed away?

Where are you going?
Everyone here is talking about you more than the deceased.
True that!
Along with the photo of the deceased, they should also include your picture.
I'll go home and get your picture.
Amma, uncle is home!
Here, take these fritters to your Amma.
Why aren't you at the school?
Today is Sunday.
So, you can still go.
I doubt he's even stepped inside a school.
The traffic was terrible.
Excessive digging has turned Chennai into Kolar Gold Mines.
Welcome, Anna! How are you?
I'm quite unwell, dear.
I came to hand over the Voter IDs.
- Oh! - That means can we vote?
Sure, go ahead. They'll lock up the entire family.
It's just for a formality.
- Even the citizens treat it the same way. - Anna...
- Shall I get you something to drink? - It's okay, no need.
I hope everything is going well.
You mustn't socialize with the neighbors.
No, no! We never speak to anyone.
Very good!
- Check who's at the door. - Okay!
- What is Das up to? - He's taking a shower.
You were suffering for a glass of water.
Let him shower well.
- Akka! - Vasanthy, what curry is this?
It was delicious!
- How did you make it? - Who's this auntie?
Akka, it was lip-smacking.
- I've never had such delicious curry! - Lip-smacking?
My husband is troubling me to make this curry.
[Lankan dialect] Brother, how are you? I hope you're doing well.
What's with the dialect change?
- Hey, aren't you from Coimbatore? - Yes!
Why are you speaking in this dialect?
I don't know when I started to converse in this dialect.
But this dialect is sweet to the ears.
You, too, converse in this dialect.
Bloody, enough with this nonsense!
What's wrong with you, sister?
Anna!
I don't think you people have come down to make a living.
You people look more like tourists visiting Chennai.
- Come on, Anna! - Anna, my foot!
Do you even realize the gravity of the situation?
Hey, these people won't expose us!
Das!
When I arrived as a refugee, I faced a lot of heat.
The main reason is I trusted a few people.
They'll happily socialize and take part in your happiness.
When you're in trouble, they'll abandon you.
Do you understand?
Do you still don't get it?
Hey, you'll learn only when you endure it!
Anna, please don't leave without having a meal.
Sir, you need to take action against him, yet you're investigating me.
Just answer my question.
- Why were you over there? - It's my house, Sir.
Balwan Singh - Assistant Commissioner, Rameshwaram.
- Sir! - Everybody out!
Isn't Keshava Nagar under your limit?
Yes, Sir.
We must search that entire area.
Please make the arrangements.
Sir, what happened?
Have any new Sri Lankan Tamils arrived in Keshava Nagar?
Not that I know of.
What is the problem?
After executing a blast in Rameshwaram, a Sri Lankan family is hiding out here.
Are you aware?
Sir, I, too, live in the same area.
No one is living there that fits your description.
Did I ask you for a character certificate?
Sorry, Sir!
Get back inside. Sir, please get back inside.
- Okra again? - What's that noise?
- I'm not getting network. - The network is down.
[in Punjabi] What's happening?
What happened, Pa?
My name is Vijay Bhaskar!
We're coming from Rameshwaram.
In your neighborhood,
there is a terrorist family living who eloped from Sri Lanka.
They're the culprits in the Rameshwaram bomb blast.
We want that family.
If you surrender yourself...
...we can leave from here without any problems.
But if we catch you, the consequences will be dire.
We have sealed the area!
So, to surrender yourself...
...is the only option!
We request the rest of the families to stay in their houses.
We will investigate every house.
For God's sake, cooperate with us!
If you fail to cooperate...
We're done!
We're doomed!
They're talking nonsense about our family.
- I'm afraid! - Don't be afraid!
Appa, I'm trying to reach Uncle, but there's no network.
I don't know what's happening. Let me go and surrender myself.
- We did not do anything wrong? - Appa, have you gone mad?
He's accusing us of terrorists, and you want to surrender yourself.
Are you planning to serve time for no crime committed?
What else do you suggest?
Appa, I don't think he will even bother to investigate us, given how he is speaking.
It appears they have chosen to convict us for good.
If we get caught, we'll be in prison forever.
Anyway, when they come upstairs, we're going to get caught.
Let's face the problem.
Until my last breath, I'll protect my family.
- Is it them? - No, Sir!
- Them? - No, Sir!
- How about them? - No, Sir.
Them?
Not him, Sir.
Them?
Look closely! Is it them?
- Sir... - Arrgghh!
Sir, this is the last house.
Inspector Raghavan lives downstairs.
And tenants are living upstairs.
What's your name?
Dharmadas!
Where do you work?
I'm working as a driver for our neighbor Richard, Sir.
Ni-- Nithushan.
What do you do?
Right now, nothing. I just graduated college.
You?
Vasanthy, housewife.
Oh!
Show me your documents.
Sir?
Documents! I asked you to show me your documents.
Appa...
He's asking, right? Please show it to him.
How long have you lived in this house?
- You see, two-- - Since eight years!
Do you know anything about the Sri Lankan family we're looking for?
[Lankan dialect] I don't comprehend your question, Sir.
Then why are you talking in that dialect?
Bring him in!
Look closely! It's them, right?
Look carefully and give me an answer.
No, Sir.
[in Hindi] What?
It's not them, Sir.
Hey!
Are you kidding? Are you kidding me?
If none of them are, then who is it?
They may have eloped to another place.
I'm going to kill you!
Look...
Please...
I must crack this case to save myself.
For God's sake, identify them.
They're in this area, right?
No, Sir!
It's the family from the second house.
- Hello? - No, Sir.
- It's the family from the 3rd house. - No, Sir.
It's the family from the 4th house.
It's the family from the 5th house. Answer me!
- Answer me! - Hold on for a minute.
- Sir... - [in Hindi] What is it?
The boy under custody died.
We have orders to arrest you!
We should leave right away.
Sir!
How are you, Sir?
I'm good. How are you?
Why Sir? We're refugees!
Why did you save us?
To be honest...
...on my way here, I was determined to arrest you people.
I had countless questions, wondering if you're good or bad.
But when I arrived here, I got my answers.
I don't get it!
- Sir, it's not him! - Shut up!
- Speak only when asked. - Sorry, Sir.
- Your name? - Gunasekhar!
- Do you own this house? - [Lankan dialect] Yes!
I saved every penny to build this house.
[Lankan dialect] My wife and I started our new life in this house.
Keep talking!
- What do you want me to talk about? - Anything!
I can't converse at your whim.
You need to bring a warrant even to question me.
Hey, isn't he speaking in Sri Lankan Tamil?
Yes, Sir!
You said he's not the person.
It's not him!
Then why is he speaking in this dialect?
I don't know, Sir.
- Which is your native? - Dindigul!
Don't lie! Show me your documents.
If your native is Dindigul, then why do you speak this dialect?
If your native is Trichy, then why do you speak this dialect?
[Lankan dialect] Is speaking in this dialect a problem for you?
Or is speaking in Tamil itself a problem for you?

Sir, please understand. He'll die without me.
Hey, get off!
Hey, catch the dog.
Why is it blocking our way?
Sir, I don't know.
Hey, I'm allergic to dogs.

Now, please tell me where the Sri Lankan family is.
Why are you hesitating? Please tell me where they are hiding.
Tell me!
