Hey Senthil!
Something auspicious happening out here?
Rathnavel's wife and son are coming down from Malaysia.
What's with the sudden visit, in so many years?
They're coming to look for a match for Rathnavel's son Durai.
At least they thought of coming here for a match.
What's it uncle, you're seen with a goat?
We're going to offer sacrifice for God "Karupusami Vel"...
Keep my share aside, I'll be there soon.
Ok son, come soon.
Hey climb up and get inside.
(Song from 'Ponmana Selvan')
Don't disturb.
Just be quiet.
Hey, Son!
Why is everyone dancing?
Buddy has come down from abroad
Who!? Rathnavel's Son?
That's right!
You guys are such morons,
he is still on his way.
Then who the hell is this?
Hey, stop it....stop it!
What kind of dance is this?
Come here.
Why did the music stop?
Who are you?
I'm Douglas bro.
You look like a dirty glass, and calling yourself Douglas!?
Hey who's that, got him here?
It was me, he was singing English songs.
"It's for my first love, my first love..."
"REGINA..."
He's a beggar from abroad.
Asked him if he's heading Chatrapatti.
He said yes, so brought him here.
No kidding, was wondering how come someone from Malaysia,
looks like a thief in a clown's attire.
- Did you say Malaysia? - Yes.
Bro, will someone coming from Malaysia be seen at a bus stand?
What!? was he at a bus stand?
That's right, all the buses do halt there.
Bro, don't you know that people from Malaysia usually come by truck.
We can even get there by share auto.
Oh! have they started share auto service?
I'm damn pissed with you.
You seem really angry, who are you?
- Dhandam(Useless) - It's so obvious...
My name is Kodhandam.
Why isn't anyone laughing?
They're my friends.
They won't laugh if someone mocks at me.
He's silent, 'cause it's our fault.
If not will whack you left and right.
I had asked to get Durai, but you got this half- bred.
Can't you make out he's a fraud from the scar on his head?
On top of it these sunglasses.
Bro, it's an expensive one.
- How much is it? - Rs.100/-
Is hundred rupees expensive to you?
I was right about you being a beggar from abroad.
Ya tell me.
Is that so?
Ok fine.
- What happened? - The routine...
The groom didn't like our girl, so won't be coming in.
That's why I asked not to look in to your relatives.
What about them, who came from your side of relatives?
At least my relatives came halfway and returned.
But your relatives never came.
What was that?
Nothing...Nothing.
I'm going airport to receive Nachiyar.
You guys get there too.
Isn't your father, a miser who used sack for an underwear?
Was a big deal that we got married in to your family.
That being said, I can't get my granddaughter endure the same.
You just wait and watch...
...my granddaughter will get a groom from abroad.
Hey Dhano!
Now I get it, why you have been rejecting proposals.
What's it?
Your Rathna uncle's son is coming down, isn't it?
I saw him, when he was a child.
No idea, how he looks now.
Come in son.
Even a nobody in the village is pretending to be a big shot,
you're the son of this village's ruler...
...but you've been busy elsewhere.
I never thought of coming, neither I didn't want him in this village.
But nothing goes on like we wish.
Sister, the love for the village is never ending.
Even if you move away, it'll always stick to you.
Sister, that's what has brought you here.
Here are the keys for the car.
Shall we all go to the temple?
Hmmm...ok uncle.
Uncle, is this huge crowd gathered for us?
The crowd isn't gathered for us.
But we have come to a crowded place.
Whenever there's a feast at the Temple, our people will be prompt at it.
What's it?
What's with the sudden love for the village?
No love for village, they're here to look for a match.
No wonder.
What are you saying?
Even after Rathna's demise, his wife...
...has been always generous with the village and the temple.
don't talk nonsense.
Buddy!
Hey Dhandam!
- How are you? - I'm doing good.
I thought you'll be covered with tattoos, since you're from Malaysia.
But you look like a local from village.
Who said that Malaysians will be covered with tattoos?
In the movie "Kabali", they'll have tattoos.
Hey, that's a movie.
Can't you at least be active on WhatsApp, Facebook or Twitter?
I don't use any of them.
What!? you don't use them?
Hey Donald Trump has been following me on Twitter.
Buddy, these are our friends.
- How are you? - I'm good.
This is Aranai, he has finished SI training.
This is Murthy, and this is Mental Mani,
and this is Hussain.
These three are still wondering how he's going to be an SI.
Bro...Bro! give me my sunglasses.
Who's he?
Buddy...
...I had asked this Mental Mani to pick you up from airport.
But he got this moron from the bus stand.
Bloody fools!
- Was it him, who you were expecting? - Yes.
Damn, you can mistake the identity.
But can't you see the difference in size?
Don't fall on to the cooking pot.
You still haven't removed that garland.
- Give me that garland. - Bro, that looks good.
Buddy...welcome to our village!

Do you think women are better looking here than Malaysia?
I've been planning to get married to a foreigner.
But you seemed to be looking for a match here.
Buddy you don't know...
...about the women of this village.
I'm waiting to show you a sample of it...
Look they're here,
our village's Angelina Jolie, Shilpa Shetty and Sameera Reddy.
Look, finally they've decided to brush their teeth.
Hey fatso, what have you been ranting to him?
Who's she calling that?
Nothing much, buddy is here from Malaysia to look for a match.
So I was just showing him few samples.
Do we look like a commodity to show him as a sample?
Didn't I say, that women of our village are ferocious.
What’s it, I couldn't hear?
Nothing much, was praising about our women's long hair.
That's right, to get a match for your buddy's height is quite impossible.
I said the same, but he doesn't listen...
...you just shut up.
Fine what kind of girl is he looking for?
Excuse me!
We're looking for an obedient girl.
Especially she should know to make Fish Curry.
You're always about food.
Only old ladies in this village can make fish curry.
Is that fine?
If not will have to look for a good cook.
...that they won't be a match to you.
No one will accept your proposal if you're friends with him.
Thanks a lot dear, you can leave.
Buddy, who was that?
She's your Pattayar uncle's daughter.
They all look like Mongolians who've come to tour Madurai.
Isn't the groom looking dashing?
Who is that? Is that your son?
Ma'am, that's my daughter.
Buddy let's leave.
She's my younger daughter.
As the groom is from Malaysia,
that's why we stepped up to his style.
Modern uh?
Son,
we've got our passports ready.
We're ready to fly.
- did he say flying? - What's it son?
Don't you know to fly?
He doesn't know to fly it seems.
Oh no, he doesn't know to fly.
Don't be kidding, son.
Hey, first ask your daughter to come.
Dear, come out.
Even my wife haven't blushed this much, since 20 years of our marriage.
You've been saying it's been only 20 years since your marriage,
but the broker stated your daughter is 22 years old?
- Did he say that? - Yes
Baldy...
...you were too hasty to jump in.
I want to speak in private to your daughter.
So then, did his brother get married?
Not yet, he's just in the 6th grade.
He's really funny.
Oh God, wonder how he finds this funny.
Hey, Durai!
I don't like the groom.
Listen dear,
any news, did they find a match?
The girl rejected the guy.
No wonder, should've looked for a suitable match for family,
instead were looking for match who can make fish curry.
Aren't we related?
Could've asked us, we wouldn't have rejected.
Instead have been looking all around the village.
The girl who had agreed to marry you earlier,
have rejected after meeting you. You must've said something.
Phew!
You were stubborn on getting married to a girl from this village.
But now you're saying no, what does that mean?
I doubt you've come down to look for a match.
Where did he go?
It's true that getting a girl is hard.
Wonder when he'll get married and I'll get to go Malaysia.
Why are you so tensed?
What do you expect? What's wrong with him?
He's tall and handsome.
Any girl will be impressed by him.
I'm just asking...
...if that girl itself didn't like him,
wonder when he'll get married and when I'll get to Malaysia.
Don't interrupt my flow.
The girls these days, demand their groom to come on a helicopter.
Shouldn't I at least step on to a airplane?
I've made up my mind.
We're getting you married and are going to Malaysia.
Why are you Triggering his emotions?
"You Better Shut Up"
Hey, just be quiet.
It was me who asked her to reject.
What was that?
You asked her to reject?
It's done then.
Neither you're going to find a match nor you're getting married.
Buddy, he's of no use anymore.
You get me a ticket to Malaysia.
I'll get there myself regardless how much it costs.
- Regardless how much it costs. - It'll cost you over 30k.
Buddy, why don't you understand?
I don't even have 300 with me.
Hey, just shut up and leave.
There's no use in talking to you guys.
Buddy...
...why did you ask her to reject?
I'm not interested in getting married.
Only 'cause I agreed to look for a match,
mom had agreed to come down to the village.
Mom shouldn't know that I'm going to meet him.
Prison Warden is close to us, I've already spoken to him.
We'll go and meet him tomorrow.
Look here, it's the Malaysian groom.
- Hello! - Hello!
Hello I'm talking to you...
- ...yes tell me I can hear you. - Excuse me!
I'll call you later.
Tell me.
Seems like the girl rejected your buddy.
That's nothing but...
...he had asked her if she can make fish curry.
To which that girl...
...asked if he can make mutton curry.
But our guy said, he can only eat and that became an issue.
If not do you think any girl would dare rejecting our buddy.
If he's from Malaysia, you think Madurai women will fall for him?
Then what would impress you women?
Nothing would impress us.
Will getting Aamir Khan and Shahrukh Khan help?
Fine, is that fish in your basket?
- for what? - To make curry...
Buddy!
Hey!
Is she fine for you?
Buddy I think,
that she's in love with you.
The way she looks at you and smiles at you...
...moreover the fish curry.
I think there's...
...some kind of chemistry working out.
Chemis...
Why are you giving me cold looks?
You'll never fall in love.
You'll end up all alone like him.
Hey, you leave from here.
Why are you torturing us late in the night?
You used to hate the stench of it.
But now you're about to make fish curry.
That Mr.Abroad will marry only if the girl can make fish curry.
Oh my God!
It's like monkey is out to make milkshake.
You don't know to make right?
I'll make, you take that and impress that Mr.Abroad.
He was looking for a grounded girl.
Unlike you, who will underground soon.
Just tell me, how to make this.
Hey, even if the chicken is blind...
...if you rant another quote, I'll kill you myself.
Tell me the recipe.
Did you put chilli powder?
Yes I did.
- did you pour in Tamarind juice? - Yes I did.
Next?
If so, then start making rangoli.
He'll end up dead, if tastes your fish curry.
Dozed off, didn't you?
Old hag, I'm going to...
She's been making that curry to kill me.
Hello!
Where should I come?
Tea shop?
I'll be there now.
What's this? Is this what you call a Tea?
How old is that tea powder?
Look at yourself?
You don't look like, who would make tea.
Instead you look like who often goes to prison.
It's my ill fate.
Just a month left,
post which I'll have tea at Twin Towers.
You wouldn't even know what's a cell phone tower, and I'm ranting here.
First cut your hair.
Wonder how he can go around with such dreadful looks.
Hey, make one tea.
Come in brother.
I've done a thorough inquiry.
That man hasn't got out even under parole.
It's been six years, since I was posted here...
...no one came looking for him.
You guys are the first.
But he refused to meet you guys.
I can't help you more than this.
Why are you in a hurry?
He'll be let out of the prison in sometime.
Ok brother.
He was convicted for murdering a big shot.
Fine, why do you guys want to meet him?
It was him, who murdered my father.
Brainless morons!
You came to drink tea, all the way to Madurai.
Our village has better tea than this.
Sun is too hard in Madurai.
Should leave to Malaysia as soon as possible.
Is Malaysia a cold place?
Hey, just shut up don't chatter too much.
You first switch on the AC.
Buddy, what's that?
They're throwing something at us.
Buddy stop the vehicle.
Hey buddy!
Hey stop right there.
Hey don't switch on the wiper.
What's happening here?
Shall I get down and see?
Don't get out of the car.
Start the vehicle.
Hey, how long will you take to fix it?
- fix it soon. - It's done brother.
Buddy...
...no one should know about this.
Especially mother shouldn't.
Who must be it?
Is it that pawn broker, Perumal?
I only owe him 17 rupees.
He wouldn't have gone this far.
What if it's that old lady?
She never handles petty cases like this.
It must be the Tea shop guy.
Buddy!
It's that guy from the Tea Shop.
I was polite in asking him to make a tea for me.
But he's gone too far with this.
I'll be back you continue discussing.
Buddy!?
Rumor has it that the guy didn't kill your father.
Did they come to kill me, as they didn't like me coming down here?
Or is it the fact that I'll know the truth if I meet him?
Then,
my enemy is not in the prison,
but he's out here.
'Mettupatti'
It was lying here all these years.
No one came forward to even feed it.
But now they're here putting a garland on it.
'Kolamangalam'
That was a fantastic Temple's Bull,
look how it's lying there dead.
Guys who were active while Jallikattu was happening,
have sold their bulls and are seen drunk all the time.
If there's a shop at every corner, why wouldn't they drink.
Buddy, they're in command here.
Bro, at my place, people think twice even before crying at a funeral.
Even if it's their granny, they don't even tell anyone before performing rites.
But here the entire village is sobbing for the death of a bull.
That's a Temple's Bull, and it's like family to us.
Smaller villages than ours, are conducting Jallikattu every year.
Ours is the biggest among all villages.
But look at its state now.
When Rathna was there, they were under control.
After him gone, everyone started doing their stuff.
After Rathnam, the Jallikattu vanished,
now even the bull he bought for the temple is gone too.
It was lying there for 20 years without Jallikattu.
Are you Rathnam's son?
It only suits if Ayyanar rides on a horse.
But your father's personality was charismatic.
A person to be worshipped was hacked to death.
What are you doing at this place?
You'll first enter with a pretense to sell the seeds.
Later you'll come saying will give fertilizers to grow them well.
Are you planning to turn these fertile grounds into graveyards.
I will never let this happen, as far as I'm alive.
The seeds will grow up to crops within 3 months.
Isn't that profitable for you people?
That's why Government is giving these things at subsidized rates.
You're aren't aware of it and opposing it.
We're not opposing blindly to it.
The seeds you're asking us to mix,
it's like mixing breast milk with animal milk.
Crops to grow in 6 months, end up growing in 3 months
eating those crops a human being will die at 60 instead of 90.
All the villages around yours are using it
it's only you, who are opposing it.
Your method of farming is just like pre- mature delivery
it's an issue to both who sowed the seed and to the land it was in.
When used water from Ponni river
even the wares get underground.
But if we use the seeds given by you
it doesn't even grow up to the calf.
Destroying nature,
in the name of growth, we've been digging our graves.
- Partner, - Tell me partner.
Just 5 minutes.
No one should be here, everyone should leave.
Leave.
Leave from here sir.
If not women of our village will splurge dung on you people.
- Wonder where they come from. - You leave from here sir.

Hey untie me!
Who's been barking here?
That is...
When I inquired on who tamed the bull standing near the arena.
And came to know it was this Mettupattiyan (Name of a Village).
So got him here tied up.
How come they're unaware of who's getting in to the arena.
That's why...
...shouldn't take the bulls to village without traditions.
It's all 'cause of Arasali.
It's his support.
If we rip the roots off, how will the leaves sway.
If we hack couple of them, that will bring them down.
If you don't want your bulls to be caught,
then why do you bring them to the arena.
Even if it's from elsewhere, it's my bull.
You need a peculiar status, to even bear the sandalwood on my bull.
That Gurumurthy's arrogance is unbearable.
Why the hell did he tame his bull?
Where did you guys leave him alone?
Instead of having fun looking at Jallikattu,
if he goes and tames his bull...
...that would be the end of it.
Shut up!
He will never change.
They've restricted us right from Temple till graveyard.
Even touching a human is a sin,
what's wrong if we touch a bull.
Talking nonsense.
- Dad! - Oh my child.
Wait...wait.
Hey Durai.
Get up.
He's our only child, and you're asking him to tame the bull.
What would we do, if he gets hurt.
Nothing dead...nothing.
Hey leave, you have no other business.
Do as you wish.
Durai, even if it's the reaper charging towards you,
you should face him and ask "What's his problem?".
Ok Dad.
Go and catch that.
- Partner. - Huh!?
They've hacked his hand 'cause he tamed the bull.
Collector wants to meet you.
Meet him sooner.
Hey Dhanam dear.
You're always at your aunt's at the strike of dawn.
Is this the house?
Come in brother.
Hey, just relax.
Sit down.
What did the doctor say?
The cut is really deep.
They said it will take a month to heal.
We're totally dependent on him.
Don't you worry about anything.
Hey I'll help you with whatever you need.
Even if I was wounded by the bull's horn, I wouldn't have mind.
They tied me up and hacked my arm.
I couldn't bear that.
What does he thinks of himself.
Does he think no one is there to question him.
I have spoken to him a million times.
Give me that.
Here, use this for your expenses.
Don't worry, I'll take care of it.
You've been silent for long.
This will be our state tomorrow.
Karupu start the vehicle.
His men will hack first,
and he will pretend to help.
He never gets it.
Come brother.
What happened?
Was the harvest done?
They let it go as there was too much smoke.
It's a pride only when you pull them off the roots.
But you guys have abandoned it.
Doesn't matter who sowed it.
But it should be us, who reap it's benefits.
- Where's brother? - He's at the farm.
Come on mister.
Sir.
Sit down.
It's ok Sir, I'm fine here.
You're even scared to sit next to me.
But you wish to live with our daughter.
- Oh god! - Don't beat him.
When you're high, you can't differ between milk and booze.
That's the case with you.
You don't know what's right or wrong.
Take her from here.
What's it partner?
How come Rathnam has arrived at our place.
I was quiet all this while to avoid conflicts in relationships.
If the bull is not ready for a fight then tie it to a cart.
Instead have hacked someone's hand.
Don't think I'll be the same all the time.
M Varadharasan District Collector
The issues which rose in Ayyankottai,
might cause riots in few parts of Madurai, if Jallikattu happens.
Your village is one among that.
What if something goes wrong, after I give permission.
It will come back to me.
Sir, when something good happens,
bad things tend to happen too.
How can we shut down everything at once?
Just 'cause we let it go,
A foreign company is claiming our rights.
Now it's come down to our cows.
I'm thinking 'cause of problems among you.
It's true we have our differences.
But we come together when it comes to our village.
I'll make sure everything goes smoothly.
Everyone listen closely...
...the bracelet has been tied at the temple.
Fifteen days from now,
there's a carnival at Karuppusami's temple.
The day next to it is Jallikattu.
People who haven't paid the capitation fee please do now.
Not only that...
...collect a capitation fee from the people of Mettupatti too.
Let them participate in Jallikattu.
Do you think it's politics, for anyone to jump in.
Hey, just stop it.
All have come together, and you're ranting off.
Who was it, that have restricted us from death till Jallikattu?
It was your ancestors.
Just 'cause we stand down,
will you run over us.
Hey morons!
Just stop it, stop it.
Caste has infected us from praying to God till the food we eat.
That's why entities have been running over us.
We used to feed everyone...
...just 'cause we're fighting with each other.
We're begging to someone for water to drink.
Look here,
only humans know, Jallikattu is a game.
What does a bull know?
Only the bulls have horns,
not the humans.
That doesn't mean we can let them in.
Hey, only if we let them in, the village will stay united.
This year they're going to be part of Jallikattu too.
If you peck yourself a warrior, then tame the bull.
Damn you!
Hey, will slit your throat.
Stop it.
All that's fine.
Whose bull will go first?
Decide that too right here.
What's with that question?
It's Rathnam's capitation which goes first.
So that means his bull will go first.
Isn't that the village's tradition.
In the name of tradition,
diadem will be his...
...and his bull will be the first one to go.
If everything is done by him...
...then what are we here for?
If it's going to be an issue, If my bull goes first...
...then let their bull go first.
Why is that you're changing the tradition?
Let it go brother.
Tradition is there for the village to stay united.
I didn't take this decision for your sake...
...I did for the village to stay united.
Respect is something, which has to be earned.
Like how I have included them into Jallikattu.
Just like that, I'm going to let them inside the Temple too.
As far he's there,
I think respect has to be asked for.
You've done a great thing.
We're happy!
How long will you continue praising like this?
What did he even do?
He's done something great and you're finding fault with it.
Letting us in Jallikattu, is like prepping a goat before sacrifice.
It feels good when you're getting prepped.
Let's leave.
We'll pay respect to all the bulls in the village.
Ok partner.
Don't miss out on anyone.
We'll do it, we'll make it a grand fete.
Go safe!
"Pandiyar developed Tamizh forming a society"
"Just like a lion, you're embracing us like our son"
"Wherever you've been, have been blessed with justice"
"You've always been a good news who made it to our hearts."
"Pandiyar developed Tamizh forming a society"
"Just like a lion, you're embracing us like our son"
Why are you hesitating?
I know he's arrogant, but he's our relative.
Get down.
Don't insult the bull which has been paid respect.
Take this.
- Hey Kaali! - Boss!?
- Take that... - Ok boss.
Partner, why are you insulting by not accepting it.
Wasn't you guys, who said everyone is a equal in the village.
Then why are you differing inside the house.
Come on, take this.
You're too much.
Arasali come here.
I'll leave.
"In a damaged land..."
"You're like a boon to us."
"If you walk down through the eight"
"No one stands a chance"
"You're like our lord Karupa the guardian angel"
"You're the guardian of this City of Meenakshi"
Until we believe that someone is below us,
the one above will always rule over us.
"You dissolved the differences and brought everyone together."
"You've come running to wipe the tears of the crying souls"
"You're like the rising sun,"
"also a tool to our garden"
"You were like one among us..."
"...who have always fed everyone well."
"Pandiyar developed Tamizh forming a society"
Durai, we've donated that bull to the Temple.
Keep on it, Keep on it!
Hey catch the bulls after they come around.
Don't let anyone come closer, keep turning.
Look at it go at them.
Partner!
No matter who comes in,
no one can tame our bull.
They're calling them warriors 'cause they are above us.
Now let's tame the bulls and show them we're warriors too.
Brother, it won't even let you come closer.
Pull it's leg at the same moment you embrace it.
No matter how strong the bull is can't do anything.
If someone even dare to lay hands on our bull,
his hands should be hacked from his body.
Hey, cover all the horns with metal.
Temple's bull is heading to the arena.
Where are the channeling guys?
that lane seemed to be incomplete.
Get that done sooner.
Where are the tamers?
Pandi Durai from Ayyankottai,
Paal Pandi from Mettupatti.
Sreedhar from Alangal.
Only the names are listed but no one seems to be here.
Come sooner.
The entire crowd from surrounding villages are here.
Tamers are going to have a great hunt today.
The next in the arena is the bull from Karuppusami Temple.
Everyone move aside, the bull is about to charge.
Move away, Move away.
Are the tamers ready!?
It's about to charge now.
The first one out is Temple's bull, so don't catch that.
Loosen the rope, it's out...it's out.
That's how it is, like that.
Keep charging.
The Temple's Bull is heading North.
The harvest will be at peak on that side this year.
Bulls from Mudhamakar are going to be set out one by one.
The first one to come out...
...is Komangalam Gurumurthy's bull.
Listen to it closely...
...this bull won't let anyone closer even for a single round.
- Try taming this one... - Hey give way...
- Give way... - Hold it.
Have a steady foot, and tame the bull.
If you tame it you will be rewarded.
Reward it is, Reward!
The bull has gone.
Look at it charge without being caught.
The next in the arena is Kari's Bull.
If you happen to tame this bull.
On behalf of Perumal from our village,
you will be rewarded 101 rupees, 101, 101 it is.
The bull just charged through, it just flew away.
The next in the arena is Chatrapatti Rathnam's bull,
Listen to it closely,
this is an untamed bull till date.
Whoever tames it will receive an reward of 201 rupees...
... along with new clothes.
Buddy it's not a joke, move aside.
Didn't I say...
Awesome, it just flew like a rocket.
Now that is a bull to lookout for.
The bull continues to be untamed.
It's not only Rathnam,
even his bull is a warrior.
No one has tamed even one,
I'll be giving out the prize to just one now.
Shouldn't create a scene getting drunk.
The horns might hurt you guys...
Hey, why are you guys humiliating it?
Try taming it one on one.
If you're drunk, please get out and sit.
Hey tamers...!
...don't hurt your partner and earn enmity.
Rather try taming the bulls and impress the girls.
The next one in the arena is,
is Veppampatti's Pullimariyan.
Whoever tames this bull,
will be rewarded a copper pot on behalf of Pattaiyar.
You have to tame this bull,
and last for 5 rounds.
tamers listen to this closely.
This bull will leap on the left.
The bull is here, it's here.
Like that...
Paal Pandi from Mettupatti is latched on to it,
that's an amazing hold he got.
Mettupatti Paal Pandi have tamed the bull.
The bull has been captured.
Hey come here, Paal Pandi collect your prize.
Partner, give me that gift pot
Here take this.
Catch it, catch it.
Catch the pot, how many will claim a single pot.
The bull is charging to stab, why is he standstill.
Move aside damn it.
Two shouldn't hold on to it.
It won't be accepted.
It's just one who will receive the reward.
Hey come here.
All the tamers listen closely,
is Gurumurthy's another bull.
Whoever tames this,
will be rewarded with a 5 sovereign gold chain.
Hey let the bull go.
The bull is charging out, get a hold of it, get a hold of it...
He latched on to it, such a warrior...
...he's definitely a warrior.
That's how it is, that how it is.
Partner's bull surrendered itself.
Congrats, that's how you finish it.
Hey let it go.
He just nailed it.
He's the man.
Komangalam Gurumurthy's bull is now been tamed.
Hey Mattupatti people are warriors too.
- Hey, Hey! - Why are you in trousers?
Hey, don't remove your veshti's.
Don't remove, wear them back....
Wear it back...
...just come and get your prize.
Why do you want to create problems?
Hey wear your veshti first.
You're being lousy removing it,
it looks really weird.
The next one in the arena is,
is Chatrapatti Veeramanga Selvi's bull.
Don't mistake it for a bull raised by a girl.
It's like a lion, just look at it.
All the tamers and owners of the bulls,
Seven days from now,
a grand Jallikattu is happening in Manapara district.
They've embarrassed us by letting those people tame our bulls.
Throw all the spears and swords in the attic.
Where's brother?
He went outside.
By taming their bull, our guy proved that we're warriors too.
They hacked your arm, 'cause you tamed their bull in another village.
Now that we've tamed it within our village, wonder they'll be up to.
- Can't do squat. - We'll hack them in return.
Hey who's that?
Who's running there?
Hey look the other side.
Check here.
Brother light the torch and point it here.
Brother!
[Crowd crying at the funeral]
Religious riots which occurred in Chatrapatti of Madurai district,
have incurred more than two deaths.
Moreover the situation is still not stable in that area.
Due to this, all the villages which come under Chatrapatti's Panchayat,
the district has issued an indefinite order to void Jallikattu in that region.
Just like Temple without a tower and a Cock without a voice,
this village has gone dry without Rathnam.
That's why caste and fights have become the forte of the people here.
If at all Rathnam was here, this wouldn't have happened.
[Crowd clamoring and crying at Bull's final rites]
Let's see if Jallikattu happens this year.
Only the Lord Karuppu would know.
We've been going to them every year,
and them taking us granted commanding us.
What can we really do about it?
How long will you be thronging on to them?
This year we have to take a decision.
That's been happening every year.
Whenever we call for Panchayat, they end up fighting with each other.
Ten years have passed in the name of court cases.
Collector has clearly stated, can be done if everyone is united.
Who will try making them understand?
No partner...
...make arrangements to gather everyone in village.
Let's make a decision this year.
It ends up in fights, even at the brink of its name.
Now they're planning to conduct this year.
Wonder how it'll end.
It's been ages, since a murder happened in our village.
I'm sure there will be a murder this year.
- Do you thinks so? - That’s right buddy.
Buddy!
It means you won't get married even this year.
What are you saying?
He's stubborn on getting married only,
after he captures a bull at our Village's Jallikattu.
He's the best across the villages in this district.
If you ask for Mettupatti Murthy,
everyone from the cow to its handler are aware of him.
What's the use of it now...
I'm upset that I couldn't tame even one bull from our village,
He's upset it seems,
when the bull stabs him, all his feelings will flow out.
Everyone is unaware of the legal complications about it.
It's been long since Jallikattu was conducted,
if we don't conduct this year too...
...our village name will be off the Government's list.
Post which conducting Jallikattu...
...is just like expecting the horse to grow horns.
These guys will never come together.
Even if we gather everyone, they'll talk nonsense and dissolve them.
Doesn't matter what it takes,
this year we will conduct Jallikattu.
All is said and fine...
What do you know about Jallikattu?
Or at least do you know anything about the cows?
When it comes to cows,
Kangayam, Vadagara, Semmara.,
Palamala, Aalampadi, Umbalacheri, Irusali, Mala Maadu, Puli Kuzha...
...there are 18 species of them.
Karupu, Vela, Marra, Mayila,
Kaari, Karamba, Seval, Senthara and Pullimarra.
Are their color variants.
Padai, Konda Vilangu, Vaalu Sottai,
Therasu, Aerupuram, Erangupuram, Vaalpuram,
Rasa Suzhi...are the types of ciphers among them.
From this which is suitable for riding,
and the one suitable for arena, I know it very well.
Never knew there were so many varieties in cows?
He's adding to it like a menu from a hotel.
Never knew about it.
Hey...
...they said he is an engineer in Malaysia.
But his talks are like a Shephard.
Are there really that many cows?
I only know the two kinds of it.
One is domestic cow, another is a buffalo.
There's one more,
- Bull!? - Fat cow.
Don't crack lame jokes.
You'll die by a cow.
- Where were you? - What's with you were I was?
I got speared 'cause of your antics.
Just a miss.
It would've died.
What you guys are looking at?
The issue which my father wanted to eradicate,
is still haven't been resolved.
At least thought the village will be united after his death.
But it isn't.
At the end, the death of my father went in vain.
As far as Malaisami and Gurumurthy are present,
we can't get the village to be united.
It's the collector who has to permit us to conduct Jallikattu.
Who are they to oppose?
We will ask for permission,
and conduct it ourselves.
That's not it buddy,
It's just two individuals as enemy not two villages.
It's been years since our village had Jallikattu.
Even after the court had issued an order.
It's being dragged out deciding under whom it will be conducted.
So President Perumal, have decided to conduct Jallikattu this year.
Stop it.
Enough of him speaking nonsense every year gathering the crowd.
Hey how can you be disrespectful of a wise person?
Who's a wise one here?
Just 'cause he's got few following him, he's wiser?
If so, even I have many men behind me.
Even I'm wiser.
He looks like walking for an advertisement.
Might have some plan in place.
What's it?
Buddy, how's the panchayat coming along?
Do you think someone will get murdered today?
It does looks like that...
...aren't you going?
Why do I have to buddy,
then I'll be all worked up and cause bloodshed.
Damn with his lies, my bad I asked.
How many can I handle in a year?
Everyone in the village are aware of me.
Hey, you can sort your issues later.
First tighten the space at arena.
Just 'cause the arena in other villages,
all the tamers have been winning all this while.
If it's tighter, they latch on to it the minute bull charges in.
Then all the bulls will be termed as tamed.
What will happen then?
If a tamer tames it when it's out of the closed space,
he's the right one to be called a tamer.
Hey, what's with everyone jabbering nonsense?
Just 'cause he didn't speak up,
the Shepherds have grown to claim a space at the arena.
A man with just one bull is so confident on conducting this,
won't I conduct who owns 10 bulls.
Just 'cause of high count on bulls or their wives can't be conducting this Jallikattu.
Everything has a culture.
Whatever it is, shall decide in this gathering.
Shut up, can't you see us talking.
Where's he looking at?
Did he by chance doze off?
Let's see what he's up to.
Hey stop it.
Stop damn it!
The competition between you guys have put Jallikattu to rest.
None of you have to conduct this year.
I'll do it.
I knew it, that you'll get to that finally.
Hey, doesn't matter who's conducting it.
This time, even we will flag off the bulls.
- We won't let that go this time. - If you can't, what will you do?
I very well know, who belongs where.
Stop it, stop it people.
Stop it people.
Stop it I say.
Stop damn it.
When his father was around he did everything,
Now his son is willing to do.
Let him do it.
- You carry on. - Hey shut it!
Son taking over father's place might sound good in politics.
It doesn't suit everything.
Son...
You ran way during your drowning age,
and you're back now with a sword to hack us.
We're well versed in both.
Hey, just stop.
Hey, Hey, just wait.
Why is everyone screaming at top of their voices?
Look here people,
we can do this together if everyone is on board.
If not you people can conduct your own.
It's becoming a nuisance.
Carnival at the temple and Jallikattu are done to bring the people together.
Caste and traditions were swooped in later to it.
They killed my father, 'cause he wanted the village to stay united.
This year just like my father had wished to do,
I will conduct Jallikattu.
If possible, come along and help.
If not just step aside and gawk at it.
Jallikattu which ended due to a death,
if it demands another death to resume...
...then let that be mine.
We were united like flesh and blood.
But got divided in the name of votes and money.
Those who have divided us are going around in a Mercedes,
why do people who were united have to fight to death?
If I state this, I've been called crazy.
Hey, doesn't matter who is against us,
we're conducting Jallikattu this year.
- Definitely we're doing it. - That's right buddy.
Let's do it.
Ok buddy, I'm getting down.
Hey, we've to meet the Collector tomorrow.
Everyone be ready.
- Ok we're leaving. - Ok buddy.
Why there is a road block here?
They must be digging up for something.
You take the left.
They're incorrigible.
Keep digging all the time.
Buddy there's a road block here too.
Hey, move aside.
Not able to lift it.
Hey, check out!
Buddy!
Buddy get inside the car.
Hey Durai!
Stop!
Who were those guys? What's happening here?
Issues surrounding Jallikattu,
is what being believed by the villagers for my father's death.
But the issue was created to kill my father.
If I conduct this Jallikattu,
my father's killer will be forced to come out.
I won't stop, no matter who's against me.
"INTERVAL"
'Collector office Madurai district'
Look here,
how come it's all youngsters who have come to seek permission for Jallikattu?
What happened to the wise men from your village?
They're all dead.
Thanks for the sarcasm, go inside.
You're here just to speak nonsense.
There's unity in your village.
If you conduct Jallikattu now,
how can you assure there will be no problems?
Sir, it was all in the past.
Now we all are united.
That's why we came as one each from one village.
That's right sir.
Only if you help in this, it can happen.
Then do one thing,
across all the villages under Chatrapatti Panchayat,
have to state they don't oppose on conducting Jallikattu.
Get their signatures and submit an appeal.
We'll see.
What did he say buddy?
He's asking to lurk around with a paper.
What are you saying?
Most of them in the village are uneducated,
Wonder how would we teach them and get their signatures.
Buddy...
...what if we put all the signatures?
Then you will never get married, is that fine?
Buddy, we'll get the signatures and conduct this.
Are you talking about my marriage?
Hey I meant Jallikattu.
Really!? Go.
Buddy.
Just pullover the vehicle.
Why?
If we're together nothing will workout.
Let's split into groups, only then we can catch up.
I'll first get signatures from my village.
Not only that, if my dad sees me with you...
...will crush me.
Hey, just the you come with me.
I got a job for you.
I've been told by my family, not to be seen with you.
My dad asked me not to even look at you,
get down damn it.
Mom, you be the first one to sign it.
If this was your plan, I would've got you myself here.
This soil is where your father had lived on.
It's your village.
You have a fair share of all the good and bad happenings here.
The Jallikattu which went down along with your dad,
should resume 'cause of you.
You make it happen.
I feel proud to see you guys doing all this stepping in to your father's shoe.
One is always proud of their place,
but this village's pride is 'cause of your father.
You sign it.
He was such a great man.
- Did you guys sign? - Yes we did.
Take this.
At least you people make this happen right.
Definitely granny.
Your father has a very good name in this village.
That's more than enough.
Everyone will come together.
You be brave and conduct this.
Can see that Mettupatti and Kolamangalam have come together,
what else, we'll make it happen.
If it's the fate that you have to conduct this,
it won't let you down, you conduct it.
Sister, you sign it too.
Regardless our village has got Jallikattu,
I've been prepping my bulls every year and send them to other Jallikattu's.
I know brother, this year it will happen in our village.
I got married to my husband impressed by his taming techniques.
Wonder when he will get to tame the bulls from our village.
Don't worry sister, will happen soon.
Ok.
There was a time, when everyone knew about Saravanan's bulls.
Obviously we do, who wouldn't know you, sign it.
Not sure how long I will live,
please make this happen before I die.
Don't worry, it will happen for sure this year.
Brother, please sign this.
My mother said I'll die soon, If I put a signature, so get me that ink pad.
Wonder if he even washed his hands.
Damn!
We always use our left hand to have food too.
And you're closing your eyes looking at my thumb print.
- Take it. - You can have it.
I'll take care of you guys later...
Why have you been roaming around with these guys?
It's not that brother,
I came to get a signature.
Everyone one of you impose authority on us,
and you expect us to keep licking your feet?
My brother was killed for taming the bull, when your father conducted Jallikattu.
Now who are you going to get killed?
Look here,
all these years, you guys used us to build those arenas.
But this time, we will climb over the arena.
And flag off the event.
Haven't see any of it,
but is ready to conduct Jallikattu.
Hey, please pour some oil in to this door
Are you Rathnam's son?
You look like just like your father.
Oh God, he's here.
Why have you been wearing your slippers inside the house?
Remove them!
Negligent of traditions.
Just 'cause you've made money abroad,
did you expect us to worship your antics?
Huh!?
Do you peck us for morons?
How am I lesser than you?
Won't I conduct the same?
Huh!?
It was your father then,
and it's you now.
My brother was hacked to death 'cause he let those men in.
Look here,
I'm not ready to follow anyone.
Leave from here.
That bull has been tied up for two days, take it outside to graze.
Come let's leave buddy.
He's getting extremely angry,
I think he's a victim of Blood Pressure.
Didn't I say, that he won't sign this.
What do we tell the collector, as these two didn't sign?
Two out of five thousand, so it doesn't make a difference.
Come.
Don't forget after signing it,
you've to come for Jallikattu with your family.
I'll come along with my family and witness it with joy.
Who's this buddy?
He's from our village.
We come to him, if anything goes wrong with our boys.
That's why the wise men of our village doesn't like him.
Brother!
Greetings brother.
Welcome brother, how's your mother?
She's fine.
The wise men of the village have gone haywire.
At least the youngsters are united.
- Ok brother, we're leaving. - Sure take care.
We're leaving brother.
Has everyone signed?
Uncle you signed right?
Have everyone signed it?
Winning gold doesn't matter if it's from a different village,
It hurts to think that we're not able to do the same in our village.
Let it go buddy, we'll make it happen this year.
- Have you signed it? - Aunty did you sign it?
What are they getting signatures for?
Must be getting it requesting loan for the school.
Hey stop.
It's not vital that only you can get signature for Jallikattu.
Shouldn't we too?
May you're the ones how tame the bull.
But for that,
Badam, Pistah, berries...
Toor dust, Algae dust, full gram, grunge,
crops, corn etc...
even the hay is been fed only by us.
Buddy,
...didn't I say,
that women of our village are ferocious.
Hey, what did you tell him?
I was telling him that no one is as smart as you in this entire district.
You better remember that.
- Chatrapatti, Kolamangalam... - Got it.
- Mettupatti... - Got that too.
No one is around, who is he asking to move.
Lunatics!
Buddy.
Birds character are...
...to fly.
Let it fly.
Life or death,
let it decide for itself.
Brother, it's broiler chicken...
...it won't fly.
We've have that aside for starters tonight.
Delighted!
Why do you care, If I wear a suit?
Why do you care? If I wear shoes?
If me wearing a suit is an issue to you,
I will wear them, damn it!.
You can wear all you want,
first put your signature on that.
I expected this.
I expected your return.
If you want me to sign this,
you should marry my younger daughter.
Here, my friend will marry her.
- Why are you pushing me in to this? - Get married.
I asked for a tall and handsome, but he's half of it.
I'm fine with it.
Just that wife and Father- in- Law will look similar.
Father in Law...
...how many cows do we own?
There are totally 10.
- Where are they? - Look there.
- How many did you say? - Ten...
In fact there are eleven.
Son in Law...
...I didn't add you among that.
Hold on a moment.
I'll tell you a story.
What's the story about?
It's about crabs.
That's not required.
First talk to your people,
and get that water issue resolved.
It's highly impossible.
There's no water in the village and he's got a crab story.
Bloody idiot.
Take this, I got signatures from all the women in our village.
I wanted to ask you something.
I heard that you've been rejecting all the proposals.
I didn't like anyone.
Then let us know what are you looking for,
he'll get you a perfect match.
That's why he's here from Malaysia.
All that isn't required,
ask him to find a good match to marry.
Once we find someone, who can make fish curry, we'll get him hitched.
What do you say buddy?
She's been adamant with her mother in regards to him,
she learn to make fish curry, just 'cause he likes it.
How would she know to lure someone in loving them.
Buddy, did you get what she said?
I didn't!
If you did would've been on top of it.
She been learning to make fish curry day and night, just 'cause you like it.
Dumbo! don't you still get it?
She's in love with you.
"I've been longing to be yours forever"
"But when you come closer, I panic"
"I've been longing to be yours forever"
"But when you come closer, I panic"
"Oh dear, I'd love to get married to you"
"I've been dreaming all along about that"
"There isn't any man..."
"...in this village to match up to me"
"Please show some love towards me."
Who's that hugging a girl in the middle of sugarcane farm?
"I'm latched on to you like a dot in a graffiti"
"I will make fish curry all by myself, is that enough?"
"I grew spicier whenever your name is mentioned"
"What do you have to say about that?"
"Oh dear, just one look of yours will turn milk in to curd"
"If you don't, then the body will quiver"
"Only when you're a part of me"
"then my longing will come to an end"
Son, did you get any reply from the Collector's office.
Nothing as of now.
You have to check that right away.
- If not they'll pile it on. - Ok uncle.
Mom, what's the occasion?
I've asked people to come look for a match.
Look for a match?
It sounds new to me.
Aren't we suppose to go and look for a match?
But you have asked them to come.
I've seen the girl.
She's really beautiful and obedient girl.
I've decided that she's my daughter- in- law.
Let's just exchange gifts now.
Later we'll fix on the wedding date.
I've forgot to mention.
Just like you had asked, she knows to make fish curry.
Is that really important? I don't like the girl.
How can you reject her without even having a look?
That means I don't like her.
Brother you come in, let's exchange gifts.
That was an amazing twist.
Son- in- Law is quite shocked.
"I wish to have lot of kids, just like you"
"There's no one but me who can make this happen"
"Entire district will be jealous of us"
"I will show off and live a life of a queen"
"Never have I looked in to any man's eyes"
"But I've fallen head over heels with you"
"It's not fair for you to leave without asking"
"Don't go beyond this village, you're my temple's bull"
"I've been longing to be yours forever"
"But when you come closer, I panic"
"I've been longing to be yours forever"
"But when you come closer, I panic"
"Oh dear, I'd love to get married to you"
"I've been dreaming all along about that"
"There isn't any man..."
"...in this village to match up to me"
"Please show some love towards me."
What's with the celebration?
What did they achieve?
Collector has given permission to conduct Jallikattu.
Buddy, check if he's here.
No he hasn't.
- Tell me uncle. - Have you met the Thasildar?
He isn't here yet.
I'll meet him in person and give it.
We finished everything at SP's office.
There's a gathering in the evening, come sooner.
Ok uncle.
Hey, check if he's here.
He isn't here yet.
Why did he even come from Malaysia?
- Listen to me buddy... - Hey buddy.
I'll check myself.
Huge mistake I sat here, irritating it is.
Who the hell are you? and why have you been peeping?
Who are you, pulling me inside?
- I work here. - Sorry Sir.
I was checking if Thasildar is here.
Here it's him sitting there.
He's here!?
Where?
Buddy!
How would I know if he's of that size?
Come in brother.
Collector did mention.
You better be careful.
'Cause you've let them out and proceeding with it.
They're barbarians.
They're capable of anything.
Fix a date for the Jallikattu,
and let me know about it.
Take this.
How will he manage to reach the file on top?
Heard that they're getting a bull for the temple.
Let them...
...we'll see how they'll proceed with it.
Listen Manjapatti, Kalampatti, Sivapatti...
...Kolamangalam and Mettupatti.
Is everyone here?
Yes everyone is here.
If they don't are you planning to drag them here?
Except for those two, everyone is here.
You can proceed.
Lord Karupa, show us the right direction to buy a bull.
Bro, isn't betel to be eaten, why are they playing with it?
He's never been blessed,
but he's been telling everyone that he is a saint.
Not good for the village, not good.
It's white...
we need to buy a bull from north.
Make sure to be very particular when you buy one.
and be sure it's not a double steed.
What's with the sudden meeting?
Not sure about it.
They've been doing all this, 'cause that belongs to them so does the temple.
Isn't that temple common to six villages?
Land for temple is present in all our villages.
It's there.
But 200 acres is still under that Chatraptti people.
He's at a great position to provide us,
but that Perumal isn't doing squat.
We shouldn't let this go.
Those three villages have joined with Gurumurthy,
in conducting Jallikattu by themselves.
Even if we weren't allowed in to the arena,
at least we were taming the bulls.
But if they conduct, they won't let that happen anymore.
That temple was built by our ancestors.
Just 'cause he was there, he use to maintain that place.
We gave them place to stay, but they've control over it.
Here on, on the Temple's land...
...every village should get a chance to brim on it.
Just like that,
Jallikattu should be conducted by our people.
- Am I right? - You're right.
Juts 'cause we bend down, they think low of us.
We've have to conduct Jallikattu all by ourselves.
How's it possible, it's not a easy task.
Collector, Police, there are many complications.
We don't need anyone's permission to tame our bulls.
No matter who’s against us, we'll conduct this year.
They've been planning to conduct Jallikattu on their own...
...and you guys are like.
If they go against us,
they'll state we're not united...
and might cancel our permission to conduct.
They both are a nuisance regardless if it's a funeral,
or if it's a wedding.
What do we do?
Finally he spoke his mind.
If we don't conduct Jallikattu this year,
the surrounding villages will look down and spit on us.
The case filed against Jallikattu, by an independent organization in Supreme Court,
A committee of four headed by Judge Rajan,
have issued an indefinite ban on Jallikattu.
The company which is opposing Jallikattu,
has been killing around 33,000 animals in the name of mercy killing.
'Puducherry'
There are many issues to be banned in the country,
and these **** are behind this.
First they should ban this plastic.
No one will come forward to conduct something,
but if it’s to ban, they'll be first in the line.
Even if the government agrees to it, guys like him won't let it happen.
Foreigners have...
...posted a ban on Jallikattu, wonder how they benefit from this?
What would we know?
Supreme court has issued an order to release the water from Cauvery.
It hasn't been brought in motion.
But this has been brought in motion right away.
This is atrocious.
If a 60kg human throngs on to a 300kg cow for couple of minutes,
is considered as a grave sin.
Yeah right!
The ban is on, here on it's going to be tough on Jallikattu.
When everything was coming along, they've imposed a ban.
The government never posted a ban.
The wise man was right at that time,
"It's not Supreme Court, but Supremely Funded Court"
The case filed against Jallikattu, by an independent organization in Supreme Court,
A committee of four headed by Judge Rajan,
have issued an indefinite ban on Jallikattu.
Vadivelu it seems they've imposed a ban on Jallikattu.
I've sold everything, and have been raising that bull.
I've stayed hungry, but never compromised when it was for the bull.
You don't realize, what you've been ranting about.
I thought these guys will conduct Jallikattu in our village,
and we can finally see it.
But everything came to a standstill.
After 20 years Jallikattu was about to happen in our village.
We've even built the arena.
Unfortunately they posted a ban on it.
Right from farming till fishing in the sea,
issues are faced only by the affected ones.
But others just ignore it.
Only when we stop differing the issues,
and come together, that's when it will have a resolution.
If today we come together for a game,
we might come together for everything, that's why they keep us divided.
If some stranger can come and post a ban on us,
what does that mean? It means we're not united.
If we were,
would we have just watched 150,000 people die?
Until we have back stabbers and pimps around,
this is how it will be, what else do you expect.
This is how they destroyed an entire embody.
Come on,
they're still treating us like slaves.
They're not only trying to destroy Jallikattu.
But our culture too.
A thought which was dissolved in our bloods for thousands of years,
a 25 year old organization from somewhere is posting a ban.
If we let this happen,
right from the food we eat,
till the clothes we wear will be decided by them.
There's no need for us live losing our identity.
Fierce protests have started against the ban on Jallikattu.
"We want Jallikattu" [Crowd Protesting]
"We won't return to our homes, until the arena is opened"
"We want Jallikattu" [Crowd Protesting]
Youngsters from Chatrapatti district of Madurai,
who were protesting against the ban,
were arrested by the police in a lathi charge.
[Protestors screaming in pain]
Sir it was him, who brought me here to have food.
If you want to protest, why don't you do it in a corner.
Why do you have to come on roads and torture us?
You've undergone SI training, don't you have any sense?
Sir...Sir...Sir.
Tell me...
Our area guys caught in police and they gets pulp
I captured in my mobile Shall I send you?
WhatsApp video of youngsters from Chatrapatti getting bashed by Police,
has created a frenzy among the public.
Poor thing...
Police have skinned Rathnam's son.
Not only in Tamil Nadu,
but also across the world, the protests for Jallikattu is getting stronger.
This just shows the Pride of Tamizhan's,
protest repeatedly as an example across the globe.
"Oh my friend, Oh my friend get the message across"
"Warriors keep charging ahead"
"We're the dawn of the future"
"Let's go to war and see who's a scoundrel"
"It's a self gathered crowd..."
"Authorities can't shake us down"
"Don't be scared"
"We're the future, bred from the bravest soil"
Protestors from various conformation...
...I humbly request everyone to withdraw the protest
Youngsters who are protesting with the notion, that they're Tamizhan.
I bow to them
If they release the protestors who've been arrested...
...I will be happy
Moreover if the chase out the root cause to this issue...
...entire Tamil Nadu will be happy
Tell me the truth, if not will cane you royally
By the time it's resolved, we'll be done for life.
With whose permission, did you arrest them?
Sorry Sir!
- You've brutally beaten them. - We didn't Sir.
Someone recorded it and have uploaded it online.
Let them go.
Ok sir.
The white policemen seems to be a good one.
Oh God!
Don't you wear underwear?
Hey!
When did you have a peek?
It wasn't just us...
...the entire world had a peek.
Someone recorded it and put it on WhatsApp.
Oh no...
...why would someone record a video of that?
Disgusting!
Hey buddy!
Where are you headed now?
Ah...to the next protest.
Oh no!
You guys go either to protest or to eat parotta,
but drop me at a hospital on the way.
I can't take anymore of this beatings.
In the name of Jallikattu he'll sacrifice me.
Just 'cause people in authority signed documents in return for bribery,
anyone and everyone is controlling us.
They killed fishermen in the name of Crude Oil,
now they're killing the farmers in the name of Methane.
Even the Government schemes are influenced.
If there's space to extract methane here, why can't they build a hospital.
Only when education and medical are fully part of the Government.
That's when, not only this village but the nation will prosper.
"Until the arena is opened..."
Where were these buffaloes, when so much is happening for the bulls.
It's big deal, that such a crowd gathered for Jallikattu.
This crowd is not gathered just for Jallikattu,
it's the angst within everyone across the nation on current affairs.
That's why they're on streets to protest.
To dissolve this crowd, Police tried every trick possible,
but nothing worked.
"We want Jallikattu"
Only the protest led by a leader will dissolve without a solution.
This is a protest without a leader,
definitely will come to a solution.
Hey, there's a big issue happening here...
...where were you guys?
Why does you face got lipstick marks?
Police beat us up.
They will if all you guys go at once.
You should've gone one by one.
"It seems we're harming our bulls...Hey...."
"Warriors keep charging ahead"
"Oh my friend, Oh my friend get the message across"
"We're the dawn of the future"
"Let's go to war and see who's a scoundrel"
"It's a self gathered crowd..."
"Authorities can't shake us down"
"Don't be scared"
"We're the future, bred from the bravest soil"
Agreeing to the immediate law to lift the ban on Jallikattu,
Assembly of Tamil Nadu passed an emergency bill and approved it.
Everyone from Chatrapatti Panchayat listen to this carefully,
After years together, your village have Jallikattu.
Awesome buddy.
That's a victory!
So what else, let's all leave.
Hey!
Stop right there.
What are you going to say?
That he looks exactly like your father, right!?
Get lost!
When I look at him,
I feel like looking at black version of MGR.
- Hey...Hey! - What happened to him?
Finally Jallikattu is happening in our village.
That's right.
What Rathnam left unfinished,
his son has fulfilled it.
Don't forget that, those two are still alive.
Will they let this happen?
Just 'cause they were together in protest for Jallikattu,
doesn't mean they're fine with it.
This rage on caste, will definitely avenge many lives.
Look here,
our village committee has decided that Jallikattu will be the day after.
So everyone be neat and tidy.
Pause on drinking and eating meat.
You'll the be the first at wine shop.
And you're advising us.
Just get lost, am I not right?

Buddy!
Warden Maari had called from prison.
Your father's murderer is getting released tomorrow.
Didn't you say he was getting released tomorrow morning?
Even I don't get it.
They've let him out in the night and have him killed.
It looks like pre-planned.
Where's Santhana Pandi admitted?
Check in Mortuary...
That's fine.
Please get up.
It was you who asked my dad to come to Police Station.
But he returned home dead.
It's just you, who went to see my father's murderer in the prison.
Now you're here too.
Then,
there's something which ties you and my father's murder.
Just 'cause I'm here...
...you're suspecting me.
It was me, who called your dad to the Police station.
But do you know why I had called him?
Pattaiyar just called,
it seems Gurumurthy and Malaisami's brothers were killed.
Don't create a ruckus, if not will lock everyone up under a case.
Shut up!
What do you have to say?
Listen to me Sir,
our men didn't do anything wrong.
Our men tamed the bull, in order to win that gold chain.
For that...
...how can they kill my brother?
If at all we decide to kill,
will kill everyone of you.
We're not cowards to attack someone from behind.
I won't spare anyone who murdered by brother.
Here on, even in your sleep...
...you should check if your head is there where it should be.
If I had to kill, I would've killed you...
...not your brother.
We're not that low to kill someone who's unarmed.
Hey, if you guys keep fighting with each other, why the hell are here then?
- Greetings Sir. - Come in sit down.
Sir, what's all this?
You've arrested the onlookers, for someone else's crime.
What do you expect from me? They've killed two people.
If the SP comes to know, it'll become a big issue.
You're asking us to let your men leave, as they're innocent.
And they're claiming the same stating to leave their men.
I have to file a case.
I knew this would happen and did warn you.
And asked not to let these people enter Jallikattu.
It was him, who brought them in.
I made a mistake, trying to unite you guys.
It 'cause of you two, the village is divided in two halves.
Please don't file a case, Sir.
If the Collector comes to know, this happened due to Jallikattu,
then not only Jallikattu...
...we won't be able to celebrate anything in our village.
File a case stating the cause of death was bull.
Where else would they go?
They'll be right here.
We'll take care of them.
I know who to kill, to resolve this issue.
You'll never change.
In pretense of uniting, you divided us again.
Just wait and watch, what's going to happen in the village.
Brother, heard that bull was found in Mettupatti.
- Ask them to get it. - I'll take care of it.
Get home without creating any problems.
Hey check what's wrong?
Oh no, the tire is flat.
Looks like it's done.
Wonder who did this?
Brother, someone has threw nails on the road.
"Just like the obedient force of Karupa"
"And like the Ayyan of running stream"
"You were one of the most respectable man in the village"
"You fed everyone well, wonder who killed you"
"Even the earth stopped revolving for a moment"
"If we lose a son to ashes..."
"...you should be born spreading sweetness"
"You're the "Warrior of Madurai" which this earth held and the sky have seen."
Sister!
What are you still waiting for?
How long will it take for the same to happen to you and your child?
We don't have be in this village.
You guys come with me to Malaysia.
It's fine to live in a village when you know your enemy.
How do we live, where the enemy is unknown?
The case went for 2 years, after you guys left to Malaysia.
Then I heard someone was involved in your father's murder,
that's when I went to see him in the prison.
But he refused to see anyone.
Post which I met his wife and spoke to her.
It wasn't him who killed your father.
He just took the blame in return for money,
and I knew this speaking to his wife.
In order to avoid further complications, I never mentioned about this to anyone.
I heard that he was getting released from prison today,
so I came to see him.
They've killed him too.
Fearing that the truth will get out,
the same person who killed your father must've killed him.
- Brother I'll be right back. - Ok.
I did check with the Police who dealt with your father's case.
A left-handed, killed him with a sickle used for cutting down banana stem.
While the investigation was on,
he went and surrendered himself confessing killing Rathnavel.
The case went cold.
If it's sickle to cut banana stem,
it could be Gurumurthy's men.
But someone who uses left hand...
...could be cripple hand Malaisami.
Hey, using left hand and leaving a deliberate evidence is an old technique.
Who do we suspect with just these two as evidence?
Even after the bloodshed.
For the village to stay united,
they didn't even file a case.
There's no chance they could've killed my father.
Don't do it.
Don't come closer.
Don't...
Go...go...go, leave.
My father isn't a coward to be killed by just one,
I'm well aware of his courage.
They've killed him on the way home from Police Station.
After so much, why did he take the route through Mettupatti?
They said the bull from Jallikattu was found in Mettupatti,
he went to get it back.
The bull returned home that evening,
I was the one who tied it up.
Who said the bull was in Mettupatti?
Brother, heard that bull was found in Mettupatti.
- Ask them to get it. - I'll take care of it.
Get home without creating any problems.
Did Perumal and Dad had any issues with each other?
Partner.
Brother...
Like that officer said...
...why don't we sow those seeds this season.
If the harvest is abundant, it's a profit to us.
Brother!
If we ponder on profit and loss,
our children will be on the streets in future.
If our ancestors had done the same,
we would've been begging to someone for food.
One without a land will only understand its value.
This is not a business to look for profit and loss,
...it's "Agriculture".
Hey start the car.
- I'm leaving - Ok.
What's this partner? What's wrong with him?
You do know him right?
It's nothing new to us.
Even if he's offered a million, wouldn't do something against his values.
But I don't think so, he would've killed your father.
What are you still thinking about?
Are you planning to instigate people to riot on caste?
Or...
You're thinking of stopping the Jallikattu for which the village has united...
...and divide them once again.
I feel disgusted to even call you my father.
Hey, how come is this being dishonest?
If you wish to live like a big shot,
do you expect to be honest in making money?
It's possible only if you're dishonest and a rogue.
I was behind Rathnavel like a dog,
and pretended to be a wise man.
Did even one soul from this village respected me for that?
They didn't.
Rathnavel is a good man.
Don't give away the Temple's land for free,
they wouldn't know its worth.
He didn't listen to me.
Last year's lease on temple is still pending,
when asked for, they said will give it as crops this year.
As it is a small amount...
...that too they return as pennies.
This won't work out brother.
What do you expect then?
People from neighboring village are asking all the temple lands on lease.
They're really loaded.
They're ready to give more on the lease.
Not only we have to give these ***** the land,
also have to be sniffing their **** for returns.
Turning the dry land to fertile,
sow those lands with water and in rain,
they're the ones who have made this land a gold.
What would he do without water?
This is their source of income for everything right from birth to funeral.
He's totally dependent on that.
If you take that off him, what would he do?
Then he would have to beg.
If you let the ones feed you beg, then we will end up eating dust.
The lease is only till this year.
After which the one who ploughs will own the land.
I've already discussed this matter with Collector to get the lands registered.
That'll be the first thing to do once Jallikattu is over.
You were right about it partner.
If money was the factor, then we could've sold them as plots.
Did I suggest this for my benefit?
I did for the Temple's revenue.
Even the sweet made to offer GOD is possible, only if he ploughs the land.
It's proven in history, that a good man has never lived longer.
That's why I thought relieving him off his duties.
Did this people even worship him, 'cause he did good for the village?
I didn't instigate any caste riots.
They were already divided by caste.
I just took care that they don't get along.
Brother!
Don't know who were they?
If they had killed you in this village,
caste riots would've started, thinking we killed you.
That's why I stopped them.
Malaisami.
Only now I get it that you didn't kill my brother.
If you had killed my brother,
You would've accepted...
'cause you're not a coward.
That bloodsucker who've been pitting us against each other,
We need to find out who's that?
Everyone is concerned about first rights,
and flagging off in the arena.
But no one comes forward to do good.
Any soul who glorifies his caste,
has he done anything for his caste?
Come on tell me.
Doing good for the sake of it,
and if we do more wrong, would these fools even know about it?
No one can claim, that he's honest here...
...maybe can say there are more dishonest people than me.
Until they're caught red handed,
everyone of them is an honest man.
Not only that...
It was him who killed Rathnam too.
What are saying partner?
If we still keep him alive, he'll kill more of us.
Start the car, and let's leave.
One moment.
In spite of knowing that he killed my father,
I've let him live...
'cause I want Jallikattu to happen.
I don't wish to conduct Jallikattu.
I'll be happy even if you conduct this.
It doesn't matter under who it's going to be conducted.
We'll conduct Jallikattu under Rathnavel's name.
This time people of Mettupatti, will flag off at the arena.
What do you guys say?
If a bull is charging at our village's arena,
it's said that the heart of one who raised will be jumping from earth to sky.
The arena which had gone dead all these years,
have finally come alive.
That's right.
Bro who are they?
Why are they throwing the garbage out?
They're getting the arena ready.
Arena!? I don't see an gate to it.
Oh no!
Why did you wipe the ash off?
Irritating.
Partner, Perumal isn't seen since Panchayat meeting.
He would've hidden somewhere.
After doing so much, he won't leave that easy.
He's not Karna to face the enemy,
but is a Saguni (Back Stabber).
You just wait and watch, he will hide and attack.
You're right about that.
Buddy!
Buddy, a sumo is heading there.
Hey Durai!
I think they're headed to the temple.
Hey! The temple bull is missing
Hey, I can hear something that side.
Come on.
There is cow Finish it
"Don't buy the trouble from this bull"
"He is ready to fight with all his might"
I should've killed you, when you started to pick on everything.
It was a mistake to just have scared you.
Did you expect me to leave everything so soon and leave?
If I can't conduct the Jallikattu,
I'll make sure no one does in this village too.
When I came to know that you killed my father,
should've hacked you to pieces.
But you shouldn't die now.
You should die only after you witness the Jallikattu conducted by me.
At the brink of dawn, everything you've earned till date will be tarnished.
Just like how you were 20 years back bowing to my father.
You'll be standing in front of the entire village heads down.
Not only you,
no one can stop this from happening.
If at all there's a man left including you in your family,
try opposing it.
If someone high up from the village is found dead at the arena,
how will you conduct Jallikattu then?
If I couldn't conduct Jallikattu, no one in this village should do.
I got married to my husband impressed by his taming techniques.
We will definitely be there and celebrate Jallikattu with joy.
Not sure how long I will live,
please make this happen before I die.
Dad!
In sometime...
...after twenty years.
Our Chatrapatti, Seemapatti, Manjapatti, Mettupatti...
...Kolamangalam.
Panchayat of these five villages have come together to conduct...
...a grand fete of Jallikattu is about to start.
Hey, what's with the 3rd token?
No one will be at the arena at that time.
Only if there are more tamers, my bull will charge.
Give me 100th token.
So buddy, what happened next?
One claims they used to rule,
the other claims is going to rule.
Let's be human first.
He didn't live a good man's life.
At least let him not die with a bad name.
You conduct Jallikattu.
I'll take care of the rest.
It's been ages that arena was filled with joy and glory.
Hey look at that.
Malaisami, climb up.
Let the temple's bull through the arena.
It's a request to the tamers,
don't even try to tame the temple's bull, you'll lose your hand.
Please everyone co-operate.
There's shouldn't be another Jallikattu which was as united as this.
