Sir, if we had not seen you
we'd have been begging somewhere else...
and would have died of hunger
Today we are studying
we are not hungry
only because of you.
Shanthi mam.
We want to sing a song for him.
Will you give us your permission?
Who am I to give permission?
He belongs to you people.
He belongs to this town.
♪ Did you fall from the sky? ♪

(VEDUVAN) "The Hunter"
Say something.
Have I done something wrong, Vennila?
No, don't think that way.
I feel that way.
Those kids...
Their song devastated me.
Sir has provided education to them all.
Why do I call him sir?
I am confused.
You just did your duty.
He has 40 murder charges against him
yet everyone mourns his death.
Even I called him sir.
No, he is not a 'sir'.
Not a 'sir'.
Listen to me.
Go to bed.
[Phone ringing]
Sir.
Where are you, Seyon?
Still in the same town.
Why are you still there?
Sir.
Aadhi's men are monitoring everyone leaving town.
If I leave now
they might suspect me.
It may affect my family.
Staying here for a while...
would be safe.
Be careful.
Call me if you need department support.
Okay, sir.
Hey! You can't catch me.
Wait for me.
'Aadhinathan M.P'. 'Aadhinathan M.L.A'.
I wanted to put up those posters
but they made me put up an obituary poster.
Heartless creatures!
Would you like something else?
-You? -No, thank you.
You?
-For you? -No, thank you.
Would you like something else, uncle?
Uncle
would you like some sweet porridge?
No, thank you.
Are you leaving town?
I see your bag.
When will you be back?
Won't you be back?
Where is your mom?
I am going back home, Shanthi.
The case was ruled in my favour.
I am planning to open a restaurant back home.
I was so glad to see you again after a long time
but I never expected this tragedy to happen.
Life doesn't care about our expectations.
When I had no future
and was sitting at the bus stand with my family
a good Samaritan named Aadhi came that way...
and offered us food.
Before we could finish
he found us a house
set everything up
and gave us the confidence.
He knows nothing except to love.
He embraces everyone.
He blindly helps everyone.
I wanted to repay his kindness
so I became a mother to Gandhi and Saro.
Those motherless kids...
are fatherless now.
I became his wife
but he never touched me even once.
He also thought of me as his mother
and called me Shanthi 'ma'.
Don't cry, Shanthi.
We can offer only our tears...
to the good soul who left us.
Sorry for keeping you waiting.
Give me a second.
Here.
Saree for your wife...
and neck chain for your son.
Use this money for your new restaurant.
I wanted to bring him to meet your family and give it to them.
Sorry. Is it wrong for you to accept this from me?
I'll bring a married woman.
Thanks, Mozhi
for supporting and understanding me at all times.
Let me know if you need more money for the restaurant.
Send my regards to your wife.
If you find the time
visit Gandhi and Saro.
They like you a lot.
Do you know what Aadhi brother taught us?
'Look beyond religion, caste and money'
'Love everyone', he says.
He loved everyone...
but they killed him without mercy.
Everyone born on this earth must die someday
but the truth is...
another man like Aadhi will not be born again.
That truth makes me cry.
Sir.
Aadhi brother will live with us forever.
Call us whenever you need help.
You are our family
and we'll do anything for you.
Akhil, what are you doing?
Stop fiddling with your bag and hurry.
Dad!
Dear.
Why are you awake?
I am not able to sleep.
When I close my eyes
I see Shanthi's children crying.
The policeman inside me looks like stranger now.
I am mad as hell at him.
Is it my fault or his?
I don't know.
Why are you in uniform?
To remind me I am a policeman.
It gives me the courage to ask questions.
-Question who? -The commissioner.
We have CM meeting tomorrow.
Get the details ready.
I'll be there.
So Seyon has decided to stay as Arunmozhi Varman...
and work at the station.
I have a question, sir.
Aadhi seems to be a good man.
The whole town is mourning his death.
He has provided education to many.
Has supported many families.
Says who?
His wife, his friends
the townspeople.
People who benefit from criminals...
would forget all their crimes...
and celebrate them as benevolent men.
This is usual.
But the entire town?
Children call him God.
Why would they lie?
Aadhi might have forced them.
He might have manipulated them.
People close to all the gangsters you shot dead before...
would say the same.
You have never questioned me before.
Do you know why you're questioning me now?
Because you're emotionally connected to this case.
I am aware of everything.
Behind every cop in the department...
there's another cop.
I trust you
but in Aadhi's case
if you had let your emotions take over...
and missed the mark
we need an alternative.
I know about our department, sir.
Every time I encounter a thug, I take pride as a policeman.
but I feel ashamed now.
I want to feel proud again.
I just need an answer from you.
Why did I kill Aadhi?
Read his case history again
you'll understand.
Arun, take a break.
Take six months off, then take a call
whether you want to continue as Seyon or Arun.
You don't understand me, sir.
You understand me, Arun!
Shall I serve some of this?
Dear.
What's wrong?
No one understands my pain, Vennila.
Do you understand it at least?
I understand.
Should I carry this guilt all my life?
Listen to me, dear.
I will bring Akhil from school.
Pack our things.
Let's go to our home town.
A change of scenery will heal your mind.
"Saree for your wife..."
"and neck chain for your son"
"Use this money for your new restaurant"
"Let me know if you need more money for the restaurant"
"I like this uncle a lot, mom"
"Come to our house often, uncle"
"You are good at all the games"
"Playing with uncle is so much fun"
"When will you be back?"
"Won't you be back?"
"Bye uncle!"
