Namaste, I am Madan a cartoonist...
some even call me as Film Critic
I am here to talk to you about a film.
it is titled "Yen Peyar Anandhan"
it is made by a group of young friends
After watching this movie I can say my thinking has been changed now.
The reason for that is...
if you observe most of the Tamil Films
they will be of one particular genre.
In Tamil Cinema...
they are thousands of plots/topics that are
still to be explored.
There are so many aspects of life that can be made as a movie
Of these, a very unexpected concept
is this "Yen Peyar Anandhan".
I was never expected to see this kind of story being told.
Or that this would be the plot.
It is a Cinema inside a Cinema and
in that some satire and black humor...
they don't openly show the state of Tamil Cinema.
but do so indirectly and subtly.
There is a need for a big change in the world of Tamil Cinema
but it hasn't yet come.
All of the Movies are headed in the same direction...
but the need to explore many other aspects.
The many amazing surprises and
human life stories that are yet
to be told,
like this movie is what I learnt after watching it.
You should not have your usual pre-conceptions or expectation while watching this movie.
You must keep an open mind.
You must not try to determine it's path
and just see what is in it...
you will be able to enjoy the truly uniqueness of it.
If after you have watched it, I infact am seeing this for the second time...
and this time I was able to understand many more things in it.
I was amazed that the this director has not been...
affected in any way by the regular movies we see in Tamil cinema.
So he has made a truly unique movie.
Those who ultimately end up loving this movie,
if you watch it with an open mind.
You will realise that this movie is a new approach in Tamil cinema.
It it might even serve as a gateway for
many more such different and unique movies to be made.
There are no song sequences in this movie...
In-fact there is just one main individually in the end that...
I cant reveal the suspense that surround that entire concept.
But in all this movie is a different experience...
I don't have any doubts about that.
'A Day in Chennai'
Vande Mataram
Sujalam Suphalam
Malayajasitalam
Muthu, what are you looking at? Come!
- sasya syamala? Mataram - Are you going to come here or not?
Vande Mataram
Swami,
What's up, Muthu?
While I was on my way here,
I saw a coloured cloth hoisted to a pole,
and they distributed toffees.
Why did they do that?
Ugh... Today is Independence day.
That's why they hoisted the flag in School.
Independence day! What do you mean by that?
I mean... How could I explain you?
You can do whatever you wish.
No one can object you. That's what we call the Independence!
Oh! So, if I hoist a flag, I will also become Independent!
Yes, sure!
So, I will get enough of toffees, and be happy not begging anymore.
Sure, you will be happy!
Sister, sister!
Shall we hoist the flag for not to beg.
Okay bro, what shall we do for that?
Hey, brother, help me untie this cloth!
Thanks, brother!
Yes, Yes. Everything is ready.
Free meals for 500.
We can take care of it in the evening.
Praise the Lord!
Hey, I got the Independence! I got the Independence!
Hey, hey!
You...
- Oh, no... - You rascal!
I intended you to beg, but you idiots are playing with hoisting flag...
You...
Spare me, sir, please spare me!
I won't hoist flags anymore! Spare me, sir...
Spare me, sir... Spare me, sir...
Its hurting me!
Get up.
Are you up with damn work?
See, what am I going to do you!
She screams.
Go to hell!
Muthu... Muthu... Oh God!
- Come on! - Spare me... Spare me...
- Don't dare to touch it again.
Spare me, sir, please!
If I don't get the collection tomorrow, I will put on other business, mind it!
They won't mistake again, sir. I beg you, sir. Please spare them.
Yeah, good morning, boss!
Everything is ready. You can come and hoist the flag,
and free distribute note books, pencils to 100 students.
- Yes, boss, yes! - Amma... Its hurting me! Amma...
- Yes, boss, you're welcome! - Its hurting me, move off your leg.
I love children, boss!
- Move away. - Amma.
Hey... hey... shit!
Be careful!
Oh! So, if I hoist a flag, I will also become Independent!
And I will be happy not begging anymore.
Amma!
My mother!
Please give me alms!
You, rascal! Is it a movie? You, idiot!
You fellows are worth just the rubbish sort of movies!
You do not deserve to live! Go to hell!
'My name is Aanandhan'
'Yesterday 10.30 am'
Good Morning!
On behalf of the gathered journalists,
I congratulate you for your short film, Adimai Suthandhiram,
being awarded the standing position in canes film festival.
I thank you all, on behalf of myself and my team!
Sir, could you please elaborate about Adimai Suthandhiram and your other movies?
Mmm...
Adimai Suthandhiram is my last directed movie.
It's my assistant Parthiban's idea to go casually, and promotion free.
It was completed in two days, very simply.
But,
fortunately, it became popular.
Before that... Butterfly,
Vizhiyil Vizhunthu Uyiril Kalandhu,
then, three monkeys
These are the three movies we made earlier.
If I'm going to get a chance to direct a big hero in huge budget,
and that will be because of butterfly and vizhiyil vizhundhu uyiril kalandhu alone.
Okay sir, would you please tell more about the movie?
what's the title?
Is it an art film,
a thriller,
a horror,
an action or a romance?
We not yet decided about the title,
but... It's an complete commercial movie.
It has action, sentiment and even the romance what you're looking for.
But, you're good in realistic movies rather commercial.
Your movie Adimai Suthanthiram even reached the Cannes film festival.
But,
Survival is possible, only if commercial movies makes hit!
Even audiences are expecting commercial movies.
Aranmanai gives a hit, but Aranyakandam do not.
We don't have any such idea right now.
You're going to do a movie with such a huge budget and with a big star.
And what's your opinion about it?
I don't even thought about doing my first movie with such a big star.
First of all, I would like to thank him for that!
For sure, I will be trustworthy, for they entrust me such a huge budget movie.
So, you will make it your way!
People laugh.
I just mean it other way, sir.
What's the budget of your movie?
It's around 50 crores.
And we planned it to be grand.
And for sure, we can make a collection of 100 crores.
Please tell me about director Satya.
Satya is a skillful director.
You can realise it when you watch his movies.
He narrated me the story for about 2 hours.
I just hugged him, when he completed!
The story was merely marvelous!
If so, would you make the promotions by painting the rocket?
What sort of movie is this?
Huh... Is this about a particular community?
Else, are you focusing on community matters?
Sir,
I already intimated that it is of commercial scope.
Then, why are you going deep into it?
It's a complete masala movie.
We conveyed no message in this movie.
And spoke about no community.
Just walk in Jolly, and walk out Jolly.
Nowadays, no commercial movies has story.
It just has songs, mass, comedy...
The entire commercial has been spoiled altogether!
And if any one questions,
They just accuse the public, claiming that it is the demand of public.
- So, when is the movie being released. - Tomorrow is an auspicious day!
We're starting the 1st schedule,
and we're planning for deepavali release!
Then...
I would like to thank all the journalist present here!
We have arranged for a small feast,
and everyone should take part in it!
Thank you!
Okay, sir,
I shall also take a leave after looking over the arrangements.
Dear, Satya,
Hero asked me to be his director, once he heard your story.
Even I didn't ask you about the story!
I just nodded to you, since I got his call sheet.
I think you're aware about the budget.
It's beyond my capacity!
Already, two of my movies flopped.
I'm doing this movie with loan burden. And even I trust you.
Take care.
Sir...
For sure, I will try to keep up your faith in me.
I... will take a leave after taking care of the shooting arrangements.
- Okay. - Okay, I will take a leave, sir.
Okay.
Sir, story board!
- Have you informed the camera department? - Yes, sir.
Tomorrow...
All are dreams are going to come true.
I'm nervous, Parthiba.
Don't be nervous, sir. We will be casual, as usual.
Mmm... Okay.
Come to home, tomorrow morning 6 O'clock.
We have to carry the things.
Mmm... Okay, sir.
Parthiba.
- Sir. - Don't you change that bag? Looks too old.
I will change it, tomorrow, sir.
Mmm... It's okay.
Tell me, Savi.
What are you doing?
The press meet ended just now.
I'm preparing for the shooting tomorrow.
Why. I already intimated you about this.
Would you be able come to my home, right now?
What, right now!
I'm busy right now.
Okay, you come after your schedules.
Anything important.
You just come after your schedules.
Shit!
Savi.
Savithiri.
Where she is?
Huh...
- Huh... - Ha...
What happened, Satya. What happened to you?
Where have you been?
I cut off my finger while chopping vegetables.
That's why I went out for purchasing medicines.
I saw blood drops on the floor.
That's why I became upset.
I myself might have helped you, if you called me.
I called you, but your mobile was switched off.
Battery drained out.
You were about to tell me some important matter.
First, fresh up yourself.
Then, I will tell you.
In the mean time, I will prepare you the dinner.
'Today 6:15 am'
Sir, a minute, please!
- Oh goddess, Karupaayi! - You... you people can never change!
You people are solely responsible for accidents.
Reckless fellows.
Hi, Savi.
I moved out. I can't pick phone calls, while I'm in shoot. Take care. Love you!
Kissing.
Bye!
Ahh...
"I'm blue and lonesome, As a man can be!"
Huh...
"I'm blue and lonesome, As a man can be!"
Huh...
Hey...! Who are you?
Why have you kidnapped me?
Today is my first shoot day!
Already, it's late!
Why have you kidnapped me?
You... fatty!
Have you kidnapped me by mistake?
I'm not such a big guy as you think.
I'm just a film maker.
You're the lord of truths! And accomplished such heights making films, huh!
You directed just 4 short films, And boasting yourself to be a film maker!
Hey, fatty!
So, you kidnapped me being aware of my status.
Hey...
Today is my feature film's first day shoot.
Let me go away!
Hey!
Help!
- Is there anyone? - You...
Help!
You... Film maker!
If you're not going shut your mouth,
I will hang you up like how he is, slitting the throat.
You want me to untie you.
Do you think that I will yield to whatever you say!
Brando, Marlon Brando... I never let you go!
Huh...
'Oh, no!'
Do not know who this is!
'Today 7:30 am'
You have mistaken me.
recites - 'Your eyes little girl are like the petals of a flower the separate as it blooms...
As your soft and supple lips voice...
sound like the celestial sounds the emanate from a harp!
Our honorable Mr. Mohan
Will now make an oration about status of today's laborers.
I don't like!
How are you, director Satya?
Are you teasing me?
You kidnapped me, but question about my wellness?
At least, tell me right now, who you are?
Why have you kidnapped me?
Today is my first day shoot.
The whole unit might have been waiting for me.
Please...
Let me go!
"If I make ordinances,"
"And if it's enforced..."
Satya, fear not!
We will do nothing to you!
I think, you have made 4 short films, isn't it?
Mmm...
- I have some doubts in them. - You said, doubts!
You, stupid!
Don't you have any other time to clarify your doubts!
Are you a psychopath!
I have my first day shoot today.
Oh, no. It's already late!
The starer might have been there in the spot!
Let me go, please!
You...
Why are you repeating the dialogue saying, "pay me, I have to go to market!"
My boss is telling that he has a doubt.
Just clear it and find your way out.
Else, the knife and the rope awaits for you. Understand!
Please,
Let me go just for today.
I can clarify your doubt, another day.
You may come to my home if you're free and we can talk leisurely with tea.
Shall we continue after hanging you up!
Hey, fatty!
Do you think that I will afraid of your words!
Somebody, help me!
Help!
Don't think that it is missed because of your time!
It will never miss in your bad time!
Good boy!
Hey man, where is Satya?
Sir, he is on his way.
He might have been here by this time.
- I don't know, what happened to him. - First call him, and ask where he is?
- Sir, Phone. - It's a nuisance, among my tensions.
So, totally you directed four movies.
Mmm...
Vizhiyil Vizhundhu, Uyiril Kalandhu...
Three monkeys...
Adimai Suthandhiram...
Then,
Butterfly!
Mmm...
Butterfly.
It's a good title.
Mmm... Okay!
First, we shall discuss about Vizhiyil Vizhundhu, Uyiril Kalandhu.
Have you directed it, after your desire?
The more quick you answer, the more quick you can leave.
Yes.
It's my first romantic movie.
I got positive feed backs like Romance, Epic, etc.
Shall we take a look on that film, I mean, Love Story, right now!
Brando!
Oh... No...
Sorry, Sir!
The MGR, just slipped down.
- Come and switch on that projector. - Okay, Sir.
"If I make ordinances, And if it's enforced..."
"The poor won't suffer anymore!"
"For whom it is created,"
"For whom it is created."
- "The place of luxury..." - Mmm...
What's your message conveyed in this movie?
I already told you. The love feeling.
You mean, love feeling.
Was there anything like that?
Why? Haven't you felt it?
Everything was there, Satya, but discretely.
Music in an individual track.
Camera in an individual track.
The two main roles were wholly in individual tracks!
I had the feel that the corpses have been put in front of camera with makeup.
Current trend heroines,
are speaking Hindi in the morning,
and doing their Telugu shooting in the afternoon,
and comes to Tamil shooting in the evening, if they find time.
And hero... Comes right away from the vacation to the shooting spot!
There's no one right now is indulging in method acting, as you think.
Even, public don't like that.
What do you think about those who acted in the past?
Do you know, "how Nadigar Thilagam Sivaji Ganesan will perform on those days".
He first will observe the character that he is doing.
And in a manner easily reachable for general public,
he will differentiate it in his acting,
and will express the feel of acting in his eyes!
That is real acting!
Which will enchant the public.
Acting is a literature, Satya!
And not a fashion show!
Come, let's search immediately. Don't know what has happened to Sir!
You just take care of your work, and we can manage to search him.
Do you know about our classical movies?
They're legends!
Even I watched the classical movies.
Akira Kurosawa,
then,
Hmm... Majid Majidi.
Is it!
Would you highlight any two movies starred by M.K. Thiyagaraja Bhagavadhar.
Else highlight at least one movie starred by P. U. Chinnappa, I will let you go right now.
Sir...He is not at all aware about any such actor!
See, how he is bemusing, how he is...
You're not aware about M.K. Thiyagaraja Bagavadhar
to the extent that you know about Akira Kurosawa.
He is our Tamilnadu's first Super Star!
You know that.
First, you get to know about our classical movies,
then you can talk about Akira Kurosawa and Majid Majidi.
'Yesterday 09:52 PM'
Then... You told me that you have some important information for me.
I'm conceived.
Do you wanna have another chapati?
Hey!
You're just conveying this joyful matter with chapati.
What can I do? The director is always busy with his works.
We must celebrate this joyful matter greatly!
Shall we go on outing?
Are you planning to rid out of my cooking?
No need for any outing. Just eat right here.
'Today 10:30 AM'
Hey, where is your husband, the director?
Is he planning to escape with my advance money?
Sir, nothing like that. He just moved out for the shooting.
But I don't know, what happened to him.
Today evening I must inform in the press meet that the shooting was done well.
Before that your husband must be here. Else, I will kill everyone.
Come on!
Divya.
Viru, viru, Mandi, Virumandi...
What!
Viru, viru, Mandi, Virumandi...
How is this?
Brando,
Have you brought it?
It is in my hands, sir.
Help me!
I'm trapped in here.
- You... - Help!
Help!
'Today 11:25 AM'
In India, there are crores of Political Parties.
Everyone has got into business, buggers.
They're useful for nothing.
Hey, filmmaker. Won't you keep your mouth shut?
For this time, I just stuffed your mouth with cloth.
But for the next time, I'm not sure what will I stuff.
Shall I tell you one thing.
Yelling for help is just a normal man.
But the one who answers for the question is the great one!
So, be a great one.
Coughs.
Heed me director sir. I'm telling you once again.
Don't do like this again.
Look to your back.
How he is being hanged, after trying as you do.
Both Chandran & Guru are moving back to their respective places.
So, it must be done today night.
Hah...
- How it would be Mr. Pillai? - What?
Ask both the fellows, Chandran & Guru, to take holiday tomorrow.
Ask him on my behalf to stay back in the morning and leave by mail in the night.
Who's that Chandran & Guru. Are they the brothers of Bride?
They're the planets.
Shall I ask you a question?
Mmm... Go on.
What's you gain by discussing about movies like this?
The movie is already done, and nothing is going to change.
Sathya...
According to you, movie is just a business.
But for many others, it is an art!
It's like reading a book
The information that we come to know while reading books,
is not far beyond while watching movies!
For example,
we will enquire the author, if we have any doubts in his book.
This is like the same.
This movie is your creation.
You must give us the explanation.
Am I right, Brando!
Yeah!
Shall we move to your next film, 3 Monkeys?
Tell me.
'Today 12:15 PM'
A minute please, Sir!
Art, it's the nectar that each human should consume!
And the fourth monkey climax, it's just marvelous!
Do you really like it?
Yes, of course! Why did you ask like this?
Because, there is nothing technical in that movie.
I thought that you won't like it.
It was just shot in a normal camera!
Sathya, it is not necessary to expend more on movies to convey a good concept!
Camera is necessary just for the cinematographer!
But a film maker will convey his concepts even in a mobile camera
Tomorrow... is... my first feature film's shoot.
Then, we will have baby.
'Yesterday 10:30 PM'
You will be next to me.
I just have a feel that all my desires come true.
I feel very happy.
Will you come with me tomorrow for shooting?
No, dear. I have a project work.
I should deliver it to the client.
I love you so much, Savi!
Hey!
Hi, Divya.
What's the matter, in this late night!
- Hi, have I disturbed you? - Yes, you're disturbing us a lot!
Hello!
Tell me.
- Hey! - Mmm...
Okay, I understand. I share it quickly.
I have marriage next week. Tomorrow I will come to meet you.
Will you be there in the house?
- You, silly! - Excuse me.
What a surprise!
Who's the bride? Is he the Police officer?
And his name is Anwar. Am I right?
Does your family nodded?
That's a long story. I will meet you and share it tomorrow.
Okay, meet me tomorrow. Tomorrow I have work from home.
Okay, Savi. Bye! I don't wanna disturb you.
Okay, okay, bye!
Divya has got marriage and she is coming to home tomorrow to invite.
Hi!
- Hi! - Sorry, I just got little late.
Anwar, this is Savithiri, director Sathya's wife.
- I already informed you. - Is she coming to our marriage?
Huh... Actually, there's a problem.
What problem!
Her husband is missing.
What! Is it Sathya?
Sir, lunch is ready.
- Brando, what's this? - Sir, Charlie Chaplin.
I never saw Charlie Chaplin such huge.
Okay, lunch ready. Come on, Sathya.
Today your lunch is with us. Brando is a superb cook. Come on.
What's the menu?
Come on, sit down!
Come on, Sathya!
Hey, serve the food.
Mmm, hey, serve more food.
What're you look at? Eat it, Sathya, eat it!
Don't come near me!
I will shoot you down.
Sathya...
Put your gun down.
You...
Aww... No...
Hey...
Hey, put the gun down.
Heed to me!
Please, don't cry here!
Anwar, you must help her to find him out!
Have you complained in your area Police Station?
- No. - Why?
Actually...
We're under pressure from producer side that the matter should not leak out.
People say that it will get complicated.
See... I can't help you unless any formal complaints.
Moreover, we're not sure that is there anyone behind this,
else anyone kidnapped him,
or is he self absconded.
We have many questions like this.
But, you can help her out, if you think.
No, Divya. I can do nothing without department's help.
I'm not a private detective.
Sir, please. You must help me out.
See, Savithiri.
Tell me, Raj.
What, accident!
- Hey, Savi! - Savithiri!
Is she dead, before you reach there?
No, no. She died only after I reached there.
'Today 01:01 PM'
Sathya, what happened? Are you alright?
Is it the route to the cemetery?
- Yes, Durai. Cemetery is right there! - Always staying in your dreams, take the lunch.
Today your lunch is with us.
Brando is an excellent cook. Come on.
Can you be careful in such situations, huh.
Watch your step.
Please be seated, Sathya.
Hey, give him the plate.
- Don't come near me! - Sathya!
- I will shoot you down. - Put your gun down.
Don't come near me.
- Hey, filmmaker. - Heed me, put your gun down.
- Huh... huh. - Put your gun down.
- Aww... - Brando.
Hey, put the gun down.
Put it down, Sathya.
Put the gun down, Sathya.
Hey!
Parthiba.
"No need for riches, no need for grandeur, but speak just about the story of art!"
"Just speak about the story of art! Just speak about the story of art!"
Privacy!
'Intermission'
See, see me, see my face.
Kantha, how great I was, but now I'm in such a worst condition!
- Aww... - You finished all works. Is everything ready?
Yes, sir.
Sir, Iyarkai left it in the car!
Brando, what's this?
- Conjuring blanks, Sir. - Let it be, and what's this?
- Mmm. - Sorry, sir. I just missed it.
Hey, Parthiba!
- Sir, he is Sathya. - Mmm.
I just read an article about his film 3 monkeys in Tamil Hindu.
Then, three monkeys.
He directed it very well.
He will be okay for our job.
Now, he is shifting to our neighbour-hood.
Even today, they won't let us sleep well.
Hey, let me kiss my wife in peace.
Sorry, sir. I was with you just waiting this very day!
But, I was true to you, until I was with you.
Director sir. Without wasting time, shall we move to the next movie! Mmm.
Parthiba, have you finished you lunch?
- No, sir. - We too did not have our lunch.
Director sir has wasted it all.
Brando, is there any thing else to eat?
Bread alone is there, sir.
Okay, toast and serve it.
Mean time, shall we have a look on the next film?
Mmm... Butterfly.
'Today 02.:30 PM'
- Hi, Murali. - Hi, hello Sir.
How are you?
I'm fine, sir. How are you?
Good, thanks!
- I need a little help. - Hi, Anwar.
Do you remember the accident case, you told me.
Commissioner wants the report today evening. Take care of it.
Okay.
Tell me, sir. How may I help you.
Sathya.
I want the last location where the mobile got switched off.
And this is Savithiri. I want her mobile to be tapped.
Mmm, Sir, I want the case details.
No FIR has been filed.
It's just a private investigation.
Sir, are you sure that it won't end up with problem.
If you're then use my name. Okay!
- Okay, sir. - Okay!
Oh, these patriots will never help a man in such a situation.
These are people with the mentality to build Mahals after one's expiry.
This is not a movie which public wants.
What are you about to tell me. I didn't understand.
You just directed the film in Hollywood range.
But, you conveyed a wrong message.
What are you about to say?
Can't we produce a horror movie?
Is it a crime to produce a horror movie?
Yes, it's a crime.
This movie is useless for the public.
What's the use of this movie in public's real life?
It's just an fantasy movie.
How it could be if you compared with real life?
Hmm... It's a kind of movie. And it has a set of audience.
Even, director Hitchcock did horror movies.
He speaks very well, director.
Is there Sir?
Director is very nervous.
He is very upset thinking about movie's output, because of director's default.
I fixed this director just because of his word.
Now, we can't count on those words.
Even now, we haven't lost anything.
There's an assistant of director Rajapandi.
- And he has an superb script named Dongli. - Dongli?
It's already the finalized one.
But our Sir nodded your movie because of you only.
If you nod to me, then I will talk with Sir.
You're thinking too much. Getting his call sheet is not that easy.
Boss, mmm.
Okay, we can go his man.
Tell him that I will go with him.
Okay, I will call after consulting him.
Okay.
Hello, Divya.
Tell me, Anwar. Is there any information?
Nothing, but I hope that I will get it soon.
And I asked to tap the calls on Savithiri's mobile.
So, ask her to continue the call more than 30 seconds, if she gets any.
If she gets any demand from any kidnapper, then ask her to inform me.
Okay.
How is Savithiri?
She is okay now, and she prays.
- Okay, I will get you later. - Okay, Anwar.
Sir, please wash it.
Oh, you people have also got the knowledge.
Where are you going, filmmaker?
- I'm going for face wash. - Go to the last.
- Hello. - Hi, I'm Sathya.
Hello, Sathya. Where are you?
People tell that you have absconded.
Nothing like that, and you don't worry.
- Hello! - Hello, hello!
Hello.
Hello, Sathya!
Mmm, your fortune is no more.
Mmm...
Yes, Sathya. Is your task well completed?
Why are you shocking? I just asked about the wash.
And why you're sweating like this?
I forgot to wipe my face.
Have you got vomit, because of the dead body.
We get to practiced it.
Okay, shall we get in our business?
And your last movie is "Adimai Suthanthiram". Is it?
I heard that it also reached Cannes film festival.
Shall we have a look on it?
Amma!
My mother!
Give me alms.
You, rascal! Is it a movie? You, idiot!
You fellows are worth just the rubbish sort of movies!
You do not deserve to live! Go to hell!
Whom asked you to open this scene without director's permission?
Really, it's an excellent movie, Sathya!
It's the best in your collection.
You related Hindu, Muslim, and Christian beautifully with our National flag.
Particularly, relating each colour to one religion is excellent.
Are you an art film lover?
Laughs.
Film is itself is an art and where this difference come from?
It's a big collection of art, Sathya.
Hello, Sir.
The last call from the missing person...
traced to be from Valasaravakkam, Ganapathi Street tower.
And another call also received from other number and it's the recording.
Yes, alright.
On further probe, the number is found to be registered in Parthiban's name.
- Oh, I will check it out. - Okay, sir. Thank you.
Okay, tell me, why people use to watch movies.
Just for time-pass.
Oh, God! What're all the tortures that further I have to bear.
What, just a time pass.
So, this is what you understood about movies.
This is why hundreds of worst movies being released every year.
It's a value, Sathya, value!
Value is the sense, being aware about ones self. Do you understand.
People are watching movies to increase their values.
There is no need for Himalayas & Yoga to increase ones value.
But watching a good cinema is enough.
We will get to know about ourselves and our neighbours.
Moreover, our Gandhi,
just made his character after watching Harischandra Drama.
And that made way for our freedom.
How tiny nations are producing world's great classical movies?
Why Iran & Latin American films are best in class?
Why we're still celebrating Children of Heaven,
Bicycle Thief, Barren, Separation etc.
It was possible with Satyajit, but not with us, why?
Do you know that there's an important cause behind that.
There's no imagination in their movies.
They just highlighted their life incidents, information and culture.
Their movies are built on those basements.
That's why we're still remembering their movies.
In fact, even today we're getting good movies in Malayalam and Marathi.
But, we don't get any such movies in Tamil, mmm.
Sir, I admit everything you say, but where our culture lives.
Else, what do we have in our lives that we may sculpt it in movie.
Our lives already became mechanical.
That's why we're after imagination for our movies.
And what's wrong in it.
Sathya, what do you know about the people around us?
A beggar begs for alms on your way, and you also help him out.
And do you know about his life history?
And if you want to know it, you must live with him.
And about scavengers,
Do you know how they're leading daily lives...
with their children cleaning drainage etc.
There are so many people around us like street fruit vendor, road worker etc.
Do you aware about the difficulties of laborers?
Start to look on people around you rather than imagining.
Mmm, what's the other thing you said?
You said that our state has no culture.
What do you say?
Do you know about the street, the base of our culture.
These things are good for discussions.
Even I can speak about it.
First, try to produce a movie with a good producer.
You then will realize, which suits you better,
the commercial or cultural movie.
Who you're to question me?
You just boast yourself just reviewing four movies.
What's it, the culture, blah-blah...
Have you done anything with this stupid ideas?
At least, have you tried anything out of it?
How many days will out waste speaking about street plays?
It is just a play organized in the streets, and nothing more.
Is it movie as you think?
How is it?
You people think that street plays are rubbish.
And you insult it like anything.
Do you know how marvelous the art is?
Do you know how many of them committed their lives for it?
Street play is predominant among the three literature of Tamil.
- Pathiba. - Sir.
- Brando. - Sir.
Sathya, you spoke maliciously in a wrong place to the wrong people.
"I'm here, I'm here, I'm here. I'm here, I'm here, I'm here, oh, Sir!"
"I'm here with a composed song claiming the music to be the base of language!"
"Everything is the seed of the Three Literature of Tamil"

"I'm here to perform the street play, the street play, oh, Sir!"
"I'm here performing the street play with wooden costumes"
"I performed the street play song to win over my poverty song!"
"I just made the audience to stand still with my street play"
Sir, this is my livelihood. And I practiced to it from childhood.
There is no income in street play, and you just look after any other job.
- Okay, I take a leave. - Sir.
"I knocked every doors in the market"
"I stood in front of gracious people's door wearing the mask of colours"
"Don't listen to our hunger song, but to our life song!"
"It's the spoiled life which is eager to die of illness"

"Please lend us the elixir water for us, the extincted simple people"
"I plead thee, the director, who takes several subjects, to take up our subject"
"I plead thee to take up our subject, so that it will last for ever and ever!"
"I plead thee, the silver screen,"

- Hello. - Sathya here!
Hello, Sathya. Where are you? People tell that you have absconded.
Nothing like that, and you don't worry.
- Hello. - Sathya here!
Hello, Sathya. Where are you? People tell that you have absconded.
Nothing like that, and you don't worry.
Hey, filmmaker.
Do you think that he is impressed out of Hollywood movies?
Do you know who he is?
He too was dreaming about becoming a big director.
To expose the difficulties that our scavengers face in their life,
and to fabricate a story narrating about the extincting drama and street play,
the heritage of our Tamil culture,
He prepared a good story for the feature film.
And for such a story,
He traveled all through Tamilnadu for about two years,
and collected information about laborers, acrobats, drama artists, and their lives.
He created a peculiar mask to protect...
the workers from respiration related infections.
But his wife never like what he is doing, and she continued to quarrel with him.
But his only intention was to bestow the Tamil audience a good feature film.
So,
- Did he try to get a producer? - Yes, he did.
Even three days shoot completed successfully, but...
To take lead in two main roles,
he chose two eunuchs named Rani & Manga, who were isolated in the society.
Moreover, he chose both me, the drama artist, and Iyarkai, the acrobat.
He named Iyarkai as Brando.
The shooting was smooth for first three days.
In the end of 3rd day shooting, an VIP of that area kidnapped Rani & Manga
and sexually assaulted them with his men.
In this incident, Manga died of heavy injuries.
Rani who witnessed the incident became insane.
We were surprised to hear the news.
Sir became agitated in mind, thinking about the incident.
And in turn, Sir attacked the concerned fellow...
which resulted in a great turbulence.
We made police complaint, but the money prevailed.
And our movie ended in vain.
And because of this problem, no one else came forward to produce his movie.
In such milieu, his wife also left him removing her marriage chain.
Unable to bear such insult, he covered his face with the mask he prepared,
For he decided not to reveal his face to anyone in the world.
For we're not ready to handover Rani to anyone,
and we also don't have another go,
we started living here in group.
Hey, hey, hey! Stop it! What foolishness is this?
Sathya, our intention is to make you direct a good film.
And not to kill you.
Since you proved yourself in 3 monkeys & Adimai Suthanthiram,
You're worth directing a good film, Sathya.
The necessary thoughts and skills are within you.
I believe that you might have understood our real intention.
There's no point for you to die?
Do you believe that your death alone will move me?
You people are solely responsible for accidents.
Oh, no!
Sir, please be careful!
Sathya, cinema chance is just like a boon.
We didn't get it.
We lost it forever.
But the chance now is in your court!
And you should make proper use of it, Sathya.
We're the judgment written pen.
So, we must be broken.
Our death is like a seed.
It is useful only if it is sown.
Good cinema is like a seed, Sathya.
We must leave, Sathya.
Anwar, what's up!
Nothing, Raj.
No, no, no!
Please, please, stop it!
Why are you after this foolishness. Suicide is not a solution.
Please, stop it!
Not like that, Sathya.
So many sacrificed their lives for noble reasons.
So many, from freedom fighters to the cauvery reformers.
Are they all normal deaths?
But it's a spark.
Every single death for a noble reason is like a revival, Sathya.
Let our deaths be a revival for good films in future, Sathya.
No, please, please!
Share my story to the nooks & corners
Share it to several cities.
Share my story to the entire world, oh, my friend!
Filmmaker sir, will you make a good film?
Iyarkai!
"I'm here to perform the street play, the street play, oh, Sir!"
"It's the spoiled life which is eager to die of illness "
Hey, hey, hey! Don't hurt yourself.
Parthiba, please, don't hurt yourself!
We can do a movie jointly, please.
Parthiba.
Heed me.
Don't do it!
"I don't know about the boon of parents who bore tens of children "
"I don't know about the curse for the mother is dead "
"In spite of father being alive, my dear has become a desolate "
"I became a withered tree to give you in adoption"
'Jesus is the leader of this house'
Brando...
Parthiba...
Please! Don't hurt yourself.
I don't even know your name.
And I never seen you face.
Please!
I'm a looser.
And a looser's face is not necessary for anyone.
Parthiba, my decision is right.
But that doesn't mean that you have to die with me.
You should live, Parthiba.
Brando! Parthiba!
Help! Help!
Please, someone save us!
Please, save us!
Help!
Sathya, are you alright?
- Anwar, Sathya is safe here. - Okay, thanks.
Sathya!
'Today 05:30PM'
Sir, it's just an dummy.
Dummy?
Sir.
I have a list there, and purchase all the materials in it.
As well as get the movies of Sathya from lab, given to convert into film roll.
Because, in film roll lies the real movie.
Let the enemy of God be cursed!
Hey, you keep this shot in some more low angle.
Hey, how long have I to wait for you? 'After 2 year'
If you continue to do like this you won't get call sheet for the next movie.
Parthiba, don't you change that bag? Looks too old.
Tomorrow will change it
Parthiba, register this movie in the name of Sathya.
Sir, will Sathya accept this?
"No need for riches, no need for grandeur, but speak just about the story of art!"
"Just speak about the story of art! Just speak about the story of art!"
Sir, shot is ready.
Mmm.
Set brother, move that chair there.
Kishore look there the 3 boys are playing with camera.
Clear them off.
Thiyagu, ask them to prepare the smoke immediately.
Deepan, come here.
- Hello, Sathya! - Hello, Sir!
Hello, hi!
On behalf of our Company, El Shaddai,
I bring you the curse for your worst script.
I'm satisfied for this is a good movie...
rather than a financially succeeded one.
If Anandan awaited and put few more efforts,
definitely someone like me might have helped him.
Suicide is not a solution for any problem.
Okay, alright.
I don't want to waste your time. Continue with your work.
Hello sir, I started moving.
Okay, Sathya. Bye.
Sir!
A minute please.
I'm no more Sathya.
My name is...
Anandan.
Sir, I'm ready.
Huh...
- Have you gone through the dialogues. - Oh, yes.
- Deepan, take her to the position. - Okay, sir.
This is your position, okay.
You, just move to your right.
Little more, Okay.
Sir, we are ready.
Anand sir...
Okay, ready.
- Roll camera. - Rolling.
Scene 1, take 1.
And Action!
