Kanal, you're getting a call.
That must be Nazir calling.
Tell him not to worry.
No matter what happens, we will stand by him.
He only listens to you, talk to him.
Tell me.
What are you doing?
I'm at our flat.
We should never have gotten into this.
Now we're trapped.
Yes, we are in deep trouble.
We have no option but to face it.
It's not your house he will show up at.
We can't do anything to him now.
If we don't return his money, he will kill us.
He won't get his money back if he kills us.
Don't get worked up.
We won't just stand by and watch.
I feel bad for my mother.
If she finds out... she won't be able to take it.
Nazir, no matter what happens, I will stand by you.
Where are you?
Near my home.
Your mother must have returned from work.
Go home now.
Don't stress over it.
We will deal with it in the morning.
Yes, Ma?
Kanal, tell Nazir to come home once he is up.
Nazir is not here. Last night, he said he was going home.
No, he told me he was going there.
Why is his phone switched off?
I think he must have gone to the lecturer's house.
Let me check, Ma.
What?
He didn't go home last night.
We should never have gotten into this.
If we don't return his money, he will kill us.
I'll look here.
Check with the MGR Nagar boys. I'll go look in here.
Get going.
Nazir?
Nazir...
Did you see a college student in there? - No.
Nazir?
Nazir...
You should tuck your shirt in and dress sharp.
Only then will the parents trust you. Get it?
Hold this for a second.
Where are you going?
Why are you going there? - Kanal, wait up.
Don't... - Wait up.
What is he doing here?
What are you doing here? Are you glaring at me?
Nazir is missing. You seen him?
Seen him? I'll sock your jaw.
If you don't know, just say so.
Get the hell out of here.
Someone must have killed him and tossed him on the railway tracks.
You are next. I swear, I'll get you.
Let it go. They are just kids. - Kids? They are all criminals!
They sold Ravi Varma's medical seat and pocketed several lakhs.
Really? Ravi Varma's seat?
It's now or never. We should kill him here.
Bloody country brutes dare to come here and mess with us?
Tell me, sir. - Listen, Kanal.
I checked in the college and hostel. He is nowhere to be found.
What do we do now?
I think Ravi Varma's men must have nabbed him.
My life was going just the way I wanted...
...until my father decided to put me in an engineering college in Chennai.
That's when all my problems started.
I couldn't tell my parents the money they sent wasn't enough.
Frustrated, I wanted to run back home to Cuddalore.
Nazir's friendship was the only thing that stopped me.
When I had just joined college, something I got to know from him...
...turned my life around.
Here's some cash.
Thanks a lot, man.
My father said he'd send me money. I'll pay you back--
Don't worry about it. What's with him?
I didn't want to pressure him for more money.
He just paid 2 lakhs for my college admission.
Two lakhs? What for?
I couldn't get an admission here. So he paid for my seat.
Dude, this college will actually pay you money if you get someone to join here.
Did any of you pay for your seat?
I got a free seat.
None of you paid for your seats?
The college should be paying us for studying here!
When I saw him enter the campus eating jackfruit with his father...
I just knew they'd get ripped off.
The college founder took them for a ride!
Dad, no one pays for seats in this college.
I'm fuming here. Let's go ask them.
Don't worry about money. For your education, I'd even sell our land.
Great!
Selling Mom's jewellery wasn't enough? You want to sell our lands too?
Fool, don't break your head over it. - Are you serious?
When I'm home, I'm going to thrash the professor who got me this seat.
How dare he mess with us! - I'll cane you.
He's been a teacher for 20 years. You think you know better than him?
Oh, is that so?
Great decision, Dad.
Well done.
Out of my way.
Get out. - I'm not going anywhere.
I'm not leaving without my money. - Which department are you?
Show your ID card.
Cut the crap and return my money.
Touch me again, and I'll rip you apart. - What?
Take him away. - Return my money!
You will never get into any college. - Don't you dare threaten me.
He is from my home-town. My people.
I debar you. - I'm trying to help you!
Sir, go and talk to him.
Are you crazy?
Do you want to pick up a fight and ruin your future?
Don't get into this. You will never get your money back.
You can always sell some seats and make money for yourself.
Being a lecturer, how could you speak this way?
Even lecturers get salaries here only by selling seats.
I'll see you tonight. Don't start without me.
My father is useless. They tried to rip us off too. But my mum refused.
My bloody father can't do one thing right for me.
Go easy, man.
From that day, I started making my father realise...
...that putting me in engineering college was a terrible mistake.
Hello?
Someone flung a stone at the founder's window, so we've been fined 2000 rupees.
Why should we pay for someone else breaking the window?
Money doesn't grow on trees!
They said I can't attend college unless I pay the fine.
Should I just head back to the flat then?
Go to college.
I'm out now. I'll get home and send you money.
Dad, there is this new project in college...
...can you transfer 2000 rupees?
What project?
It's complicated. You won't get it. - Tell me anyway.
Pythagoras theorem with Queueing Theory.
Fine, I'll send you money.
Your phone is ringing. Answer it.
Let it ring.
It could be an emergency.
Dad... - What now?
I lent my pen to a girl in class.
They fined me 500 rupees for talking to a girl.
A fine?
Yes, Dad. Can you immediately transfer 2000 rupees?
But you said it was a 500 rupee fine!
Four girls, Dad.
What is it, dear?
Your son goes around sniffing girl's butts like a cat, and I must pay for it.
Does your father not send money from Dubai every month?
Your house is unfinished.
I made that up. My father is not in Dubai.
He deserted our family when I was young.
Stop bluffing!
I am serious.
My mother saves money to build this little by little every few months.
Poor woman.
Kanal?
Come down for dinner, boys. - Coming, Ma.
Ma is calling us, let's go. - Carry on. I'll come.
Come on.
Your hair and beard are so long, I can barely see your face.
Nobody in your college says anything?
Do you even go home?
The 500 rupees my father sends hardly lasts for 3 days.
I'm getting by by sharing half-plate fried rice with the boys.
I can't spend 300 rupees to visit home every week.
If you wanted money, you could have asked me, like he does.
You shouldn't starve yourself.
[in Urdu] Won't you tell him?
I told him, Mom. But he feels awkward. - No, I'll be fine.
Your parents are important, no matter what.
Don't keep calling your father, troubling for money.
I need it to manage my expenses. What else can I do?
My father is useless.
It's a good thing my dad isn't around, eh?
How could you say that? - It's alright.
No, I don't need that. - Take it.
I insist. Take it.
It's just Mom. Take it, man. Don't refuse it.
Don't feel awkward. You are no different than Nazir to me.
After Nazir's family, the only good thing to happen to me was...
Maadhavi.
I last saw her in 10th grade during tuition classes.
One day, I saw her again on my journey back home.
We fell in love.

Stop joking. I'm heading back home.
Just say the word.
Fine, I'll go with you.
This is so unfair, man.
Who is he, sis?
Go home.
She is from St. Mary's. I've seen her in Sagayam's tuition classes.
Stop here.
Why? - Just stop.
Why? I can drop you at your flat.
No, I'm heading straight to college from here.
Let me drop you at college then.
No, I don't want you coming there.
Fine, leave.
You should leave.

Greetings, sir. - Welcome, Ravi.
What's with this NEET business?
He is here. You should be a part of the meeting too.
He could have informed me that he's meeting with Ravi Varma.
Would it kill him?
If you aren't present, you shouldn't complain that he is swindling money...
...doesn't respect you, or that you want to handle admissions.
Earn his respect if you want him to include you.
Go.
Varun, don't just stand there.
If you are done, come out.
Behave your age. How many times must I tell you?
Come.
Sit.
I was just asking him about NEET.
You said your lawyer was lobbying with the Union Government.
Yes. The medical college owners' associations...
...have approached the centre through a lobbyist from Bangalore.
All the payments will be perfectly accounted for.
NEET will definitely be cancelled.
Ravi, what do you think?
They're going to run with your money.
You think this is like selling college seats?
Lobbying is a different ball game-- - Don't interrupt him.
Continue.
Sir, NEET is inevitable.
That's the government's policy.
Let's just think about making money through NEET.
A lot of students will quit medicine because of the hike in fees.
And we must fill these vacancies with ones who can afford to pay for it.
That is my ideology.
Stop using money from our seats for your cash rotation.
Don't interfere with-- - I told you to be quiet.
It's rude to interrupt. Don't make me ask you to leave.
He is going to screw you over. - Just go.
Such half-baked knowledge.
And he wishes to be a movie star too!
Ravi Varma.
His idea of luring students with money and turning them into admission brokers...
...is now being followed by most colleges to grow rich.
He is the right hand man to the founder of the iconic KEM College in Chennai.
He controls the admissions using his gang.
He conducted his business without a rival...
...and he slowly started coming into my life.
This is awesome, dude.
Eyes at me, kid.
I was just looking.
I only invited you. Why did you bring them?
Let them be.
Take it slow.
This party is awesome.
The vibe, all of this...
Who is the owner of this party?
Host. Not owner.
He's killed it.
This is the life.
You people don't party?
We buy liquor for 105 rupees.
Get drunk in the room and pass out.
Let's smoke a joint?
Actually...
You know this imported liquor brand... is it Daniel Balaji? Or Balaji Daniel?
What do you mean?
That's the one. Let's have a drink together?
Come.
Hey!
Hi, Maadhavi. - He is the host.
Boss, you stay there. Let me come to you.
Give me your hand.
I've never seen such a party in my life.
I'll take care of your arrears. - I've no idea of clearing it anyway.
What?
Act your age.
I'll take that drink. - Stop that!
Go to hell!
You idiot! Why are you yelling?
I'm talking to you.
He ruined a good moment. Fool!
How do you manage to host such parties?
I sold a medical seat and made some quick money.
Fun, entertainment, enjoyment... all under one roof.
Boss, it's someone's hard-earned money. You can't just fu--
It's wrong, boss.
Students in Chennai make a living out of this.
I'm a pro in this trade. And her father...
...he is my business partner.
We've lured so many students. So much money, so many transactions...
Maadhavi is also aware of this.
Please tell me your father's name isn't Idhayachandran.
Who the hell are you? - Don't you recognize me?
Probably not. You must have cheated countless boys.
Thanks to you, I'm begging my father for money.
They are beating up Kanal.
You put your daughter in KEM University, but I must study in a crap college?
When I come back to town, I'll humiliate you in public.
If I'd known Maadhavi was your daughter, I wouldn't have fallen in love with her.
Stay right there.
I was wrong. I shouldn't have used you to yell at your father.
Please forgive me.
Swear at me if you want. That's why I'm here.
Unlike you, I can't talk crap.
I never said anything about you.
You don't get it, do you?
Won't it anger me if you abuse my father?
Shall I abuse your father?
Feel free. It won't affect me.
Your mother, then?
Why drag my mother into this?
See, you are angry now!
I love my father like you love your mother.
Delete my number.
I don't want to see you ever again.
Let it go, man. He's not a stranger.
He's your future wife's father. Talk to your dad later.
Dad, it's Kanal calling.
Tell him Dad isn't home. - Bring my phone here.
Hold on, Dad is drunk.
Me too. Pass the phone to him.
Why is the bathroom light on? Switch it off.
Hello?
Hello, Dad?
Don't ask me for money. I have no money left.
You expect me to take care of you all the time?
You should work while studying and take care of yourself.
Don't keep calling me all the time.
Then why did you put me in engineering?
Do you expect me to study? Or work part-time?
Is that how you talk to your father?
Shut up, you moron.
What did you just call me?
Stop talking like a gutter-pup.
You think no one works part-time while studying?
What's your problem?
Get inside. - I don't care what people think.
Hang up, fool. - I know you won't do anything for me.
I don't need your money anymore. I know how to make money.
You know, he is right.
You can't keep scraping money off him forever.
There are plenty of jobs in Chennai. You can work part-time to make money.
We can make money after we complete our degree.
Yeah, right!
Do you have count of your arrears?
What about you?
Engineering students are going to end up begging.
I'm going to become a college admission broker.
Buddy, that's awesome.
Admission brokers in our hood ride fancy motorcycles.
It's good money.
This won't work out.
Most people in Tamil Nadu, like my father, can't think for themselves.
As long as they exist, there's a ton of money in admissions.
I don't know if you want to join me full-time or part-time.
But this is going to be my full time job starting tomorrow.
He is in Ravi Varma's team.
We can even try KEM University.
City kids are too smart. Stay clear of them.
Target country brutes.
What?
Aren't we city kids too smart? Who can play us?
True.
Get to work, boys.
What is my cut for one admission?
Who is this guy?
Find us a parent first. - But--
I'll call you, brother. Let's go.
Nazir, they're hiding something.
They're talking down to us because we're villagers.
He is refusing to tell us our pay.
When you've got a pro like me, why'd you let someone humiliate you?
Convincing parents is not as simple as mollifying your miffed girlfriend.
It's an art. - I was fooled, I know how to fool them.
Think you're a smart-ass?
You have any idea how tough parents are?
Fine, give me a contact. I'll show you.
Sir, this is about your son's engineering seat.
I know what's best for my son, you moron.
Stop calling me or I'll call the cops.
You brokering mongrels. Hang up, now.
Sir, you misunderstand. Your son's got a free scholarship.
A free seat? Really?
Fools! Let me work.
Dad, let's just go. Engineering is not for me.
He's has been waiting awhile. What if he leaves?
I am happy to give you further details.
We lose a client if he leaves.
He came all the way when I said "free". He won't go anywhere.
Let's make the parent like the college first.
You're applying here? Welcome. - Hello, son.
Don't overthink. It's a good college. Job placement guaranteed.
I'll make him do what I want.
Sir, you can take your documents back.
But why? - I told you only 5 seats were left.
You should have come early. It's been allotted to other candidates.
Please try and help me.
Let me check if there are free seats in other colleges.
No, I'm keen on this college.
He's a professor here. He can pull some strings.
We can do it for 25,000. - Sir, please do it for 15,000.
No, I can't. - Sir, they're struggling. Please!
Follow up with Nazir. He'll get a DD made.
It's all about marketing.
Here's my number. Link me to parents.
We're villagers. That's our strength.
You won't get a good college through counselling, uncle.

But sir, there isn't a demand among parents for our college.
Shut up, man.
That's not true, sir.
We must serve our college. - Demand is created, son.
Talented boys like you can create demand out of nothing.
Am I right, Thangam? - You are, sir.
Kid, focus on our college. Okay?
Kanal, don't run your mouth. Let's just talk it out and leave.
First, you begged me to work for me.
Now you are doing it on your own.
How dare you reduce the market rate and steal my clients?
The boys are furious.
Cough up 5 lakhs and get going.
Dude, 5 lakhs won't do. Ask him for 10 lakhs.
Or we'll toss them into the forest.
Look, stop wasting my time.
Why should we pay you?
We are still talking. They are good boys. They will pay up.
I'm being patient because you are from the hood. Or I'd put an end to you.
Let it go, man.
What's your problem if we broker seats to our townspeople?
Your people?
The college is in our hood. Those seats are ours to sell.
Who the hell are you?
But it's students from villages that study here.
You want to loot villagers to make dough.
We'll sell seats to our townspeople.
Do what you can. Let's go.

I named this college after my village deity.
But the college is faring so badly, even our deity would be upset.
No one opts for my college during admissions.
I don't think I'll be able to round up students and fill seats in this lifetime.
If you join me with your network, we can grow together.
Things are so competitive these days, I can't sell seats for your college.
It will be a total waste. Besides, I can't betray my colleges.
Shut your college, sell the land, and exit safely.
I'll find you a buyer.
I am proposing a partnership with you.
But you're proposing something else.
No matter how hard you work for the university, you will always be just a broker to them.
Get up. - You know that's the truth...
...you are just angry to hear it from me. - Leave now.
I'll give you a good offer. - I don't care. Get out.
Your founder's son-in-law won't shut up about getting you thrown out.
Direct your anger at him.
You are being naive.
After everything you've done for the university...
...how dare they badmouth you!
I'm being patient for the founder's sake.
He is struggling with a loser by his side.
You put him before our family?
You think I'd do that?
Don't yell at me.
Stop fixating on him.
The more we talk about him, the bigger he gets.
I just have a bad feeling about this.
Put this there. - Okay, madam.
I'm sure you can sense it too.
You have to carry out our plan in the coming admission season.
How long to put a watch on her?
It's so hot out here, and he is making merry with her.
Oh no.
You bought this brokering seats?
No, I bought it with hard earned money.
Do you have any idea how hard it is to sell a seat?
The parents don't come looking for us.
It's a lot of hard work.
I am disgusted.
How is this even fair?
Double standards for your father and I, eh?
Stop gawking.
Have a juice.
He is from my village. Drop the cigarette. - Why should I care?
Just do it!
He will tell on me.
Do you recognize the boy?
Hello, brother. - He looks familiar.
You study here?
My father may broker seats, but he is basically a professor.
Will you even finish college?
I discussed it with the founder.
He said he'd clear all my papers if I broker a lot of seats for him.
You should leave.
Get going. Give me some space.
Leave now.
Get your head together.
First, stop asking me to buy you things.
Why do you care what I do?
I bought you that watch with love. Why can't you see just that?
Stop hurting me.
I only talk if I have the money.
He couldn't get an admission because of his poor NEET marks.
I thought we'd get an admission by coming in person.
The security guy asked me to talk to someone for guaranteed admission.
He gave me this number.
Sir, can I take a look at that?
This is Kanal's number, sir.
Who is this Kanal?
He is our friend.
He is inside. He brokers college admissions here, sir.
Why can't the college take money directly? Why are they complicating things?
Sir, the college can't directly ask for money. Bloody thieves.
They fix a rate and outsource it.
A man called Ravi Varma brokers the seats for this college.
My friend works under him.
If you are okay with it, I can talk to him and get it done.
Sir, the thing is... seats are getting filled really fast.
But we will get it done. Don't worry about that.
Buddy, tell him. - It's upto you, brother.
Okay, talk to him. Let's see if it works.
Tell me. - Hello, Kanal?
Are you free to talk about a medical college admission?
I'm busy for about half an hour. I'm at the gazebo.
He is Prem's relative. He's come with the kid.
The kid's NEET marks are low, so he asked if he could buy a seat.
They were given your number-- - You know who I am with, idiot!
Stop yelling. - Hello?
Go there and talk. - I'll thrash you.
Prem found someone from his village. It's a medical college seat!
I'll bring him to the reception. Get it done, somehow.
We have a lot of expenses. Think about your father.
I'll bring him. Bye.
What happened?
His meeting is done. He will be there, let's go.
Come.
Give me your ID card. - Why?
Just give it.
I'll give it back to you.
Give it.
I'll return it to you.
Why do you-- - I'll see you later.
Come in, sir.
Give me his mark sheet. - Here.
Ravi Varma sent us here.
See, he's the man out here.
Take a good look. This is the college your son will go to.
It's such a cool college.
Look how big the college is. You should be proud to get a seat here.
Don't worry, you'll get a seat.
Take a right and go to the lobby. My friend will be there.
This is no big deal. We just have to talk it out.
We've created so many doctors.
For college admission brokers, brokering a medical seat is like winning the jackpot.
But we were also scared about losing the parent to some other broker.
Kanal, he is the parent.
Greetings, brother. - Hello, Doctor.
Shake his hand, boy.
Don't just stand there.
Shake his hand. Incapable of scoring good marks, and now this.
The office looks massive.
I'm counting on you, man. Get this done somehow.
Just come... - Let's wait here.
Sir, wait here. - Okay, son.
I'll go in and talk to my boss. Wait here.
Buddy, take care of them.
Let's go.
One moment...
Yes, brother?
Your friends will get it done, right?
They are just my friends.
But you're a fellow townsman. I won't let you down. - I know, lad.
I've brought the money. It's in the car.
Don't tell them.
Okay?
We need to meet Ravi Varma regarding a medical seat.
Come here, boys.
Come on.
Hello, sir. - What do you want?
I need to meet Ravi Varma regarding a medical seat.
Hold on.
The parent is ready. If you name the price, we will come with the money.
I've never seen you before.
We only accept seats through referrals.
But since you are here, I'll give you 30 grand. Leave the parent here.
What do you say?
We'll just need a minute to discuss.
We will be back.
Let's go.
Why should we leave it to them?
Punks!
They say they will give us 30 grand for leaving the parent to them.
I suggest we negotiate with them and settle for 90 grand or a lakh.
I worked so hard to get the client, and you want me to give him up?
You know how much money they'd milk from him?
That's not our problem.
Let's just finish the deal and get out. What say?
I agree with Nazir. I think we should broker the seat ourselves.
You know something? He's got the money in his car.
Money he made through his exorbitant loan rates.
Let's somehow drag it on, tell him to wait and find another way in.
Think about it.
Bro... - Are you doing well?
So these are the guys?
He plays well, doesn't he? - Indeed!
Hello, guys.
Let me be honest with you guys.
If you want it at KEM, we need to be patient.
What do you guys say?
Say something!
Dude, they want it at KEM. Please try to get a seat there.
Bro, what are our chances?
The parent is ready to wait.
Okay, fine.
Listen...
The current situation is, after 2 rounds of counselling the mop-up round is done.
I'll check with Ravi Varma's team to find out how many cancelled their seats.
You'll cancel seats?
Seats will open up only when others cancel.
And only then can we get it through management.
Got it? Yeah, that's the process.
So... keep the cash ready, boys.
Okay, dude. - Right?
Next round is stray vacancy. We can get a seat.
Okay, dude.
Don't worry. Chill. - Okay, dude.
Okay, bye.
Let's go, buddy.
Sorry for the delay.
I'll see you, bro.
I'll go insane before I conclude the deal for them!
He treats us like crap.
Never thought I'd have to make conversation with this jerk.
I need a medical seat, brother. They are insisting on our college.
The party is ready.
Is there a vacant seat after cancellation, or an NRI quota seat left?
There is only one seat left. Get it?
Tell them the donation is 50 lakhs.
Your cut is one lakh. - Come on, brother...
Don't 'come on' me! Buzz off!
If you are okay with the price, I'll get it done.
Or we will auction the seat. - No! Let's do this.
Thanks, brother.
Hey! What's up?
Buddy, he is quoting 51 lakhs.
Let's jack it up by 3 lakhs and quote 54 lakhs?
Prem, you have to escort them.
Why is he always looking to lower the prices?
Fine, you quote the price!
Buddy, did he discuss money with you?
He didn't say a thing.
So he doesn't care about money. All he wants is an admission.
We can hike the price all we want, and he won't mind.
Tell him we can get it done for 65 lakhs.
What's he saying! - Are you nuts?
If we quote that amount, he'd just flee.
Our hard work will go wasted.
Mate, I am certain he will pay any price we quote.
Hope it's all there. - I told you it's there.
Okay, brother. Don't get annoyed.
Come on. - Let's go.
Where are you going, son? Stay here and keep me company.
You go and get it done.
Let him keep me company.
Okay, sir. Let's go.
They will get the job done. - Okay.
Give him some advice.
In here.
Take our cut from the bag and stuff it in your pants.
Come with me. I'm scared. - Hurry before someone sees us!
Hurry up.
Bro, where are you? - I'm almost there.
Hurry up. We've been waiting forever. - I hear an echo...
...sorting money in the bathroom?
No, bro. Where are you?
Okay, cool. Come to the front room.
I'll be there in two minutes, okay?
Stuff it properly. Or it will slide down your pants!
I am doing it. Calm down.
Hurry up.
How much longer?
Calm down! It's not like I'm chilling in here.
It's not staying put.
Come on. Hurry up.
Step aside, man.
Why are you shaking?
I'm worried it will slide down. - Don't move.
Dude... - Bro...
Dude, have you got the files and the cash ready?
Don't hesitate. You need to give it to get the job done!
Okay, bye.
Dude, did you say 'bye'?
Dude, dude, dude...
Yes, dude. - Can we come along?
That's fine, chill. You can go.
You should go first, bro.
Okay, fine. Whatever you say. Bye!
Killer song, son!
Why are you glaring at me? - Son...
He is calling you.
Prem! - Yes, brother?
It's been so long since we gave the money.
What are they doing? They went in and just disappeared!
Give me a minute. I'll talk to them.
Do that.
Took my money and now he's listening to music!
Yes? - What are you doing in there?
Almost done. Hang up now.
He is getting pissed off.
Handle him, fool. - Hurry up.
Brother, it's almost done. Nothing to worry.
It will be done.
I'll go and tell him it will take some time.
Don't ruin it. Let Prem handle him.
Yes, bro?
Just a small problem, dude.
They want one more lakh.
Come on, bro. How can we arrange another lakh at such short notice?
I can't help it. They pull off cheap tricks in the last minute.
Fine, we will pay up.
What is it? - He wants one more lakh.
That bloody slimebag!
Dude, is it ready?
Give it.
Don't make that face, bro. This is common in the game.
You are not paying from your profits. It's the parent's money, right?
Chill, okay? See you.
Buddy, I am sure he is a fraud.
He is going to disappear with the money and screw us over.
We should find an exit--
Your fear is rubbing off on me.
Go away!
Check with the warden, I'm sure he is not even a doctor.
He is going to bend us over...
I'm going to kill that jerk. - Hold on!
He is trying to milk more and more money out of us.
I'm going to thrash him. - Be patient...
I don't care what happens.
Don't act in haste. We've given him the money.
Such a pain. - Buddy...
Maybe he will ask for another lakh.
The pink slip means it's confirmed, right? - Yes!
Let's go.
Are you both happy now?
Thanks, bro. - Yeah, that's the thing!
Did you get it done? - Bye!
Put that slip in your pocket.
Keep up the good work.
Carry on.
Go.

We can get it done for 7 lakhs.

Don't look at it that way.
If we drive a Benz, we can quote 10 lakhs for a 5 lakh seat.

How dare you touch me?
I am just dancing. I never touched you.
Pervert, do you have any sense?
Watch where you go.
Get the hell out of here. - You scumbags!
Kick his butt, man.
Get your hands off me! Get your hands off me!
We did nothing. Why are you throwing us out?
Fine, let's just go.
Why has my townsman called me so many times?
Do them one favour and they'll never stop hounding for more.
Shut up!
Prem, call him up and find out what it is.
Hello, son?
Yes, brother?
I'm on the way to Chennai.
What's the occasion?
It's nothing...
My son says he doesn't want to study medicine...
...especially not in Chennai.
He says if I try to force him, he'd run away or commit suicide.
So cancel the medical seat you got for me.
Cancel it?
Cancel? - Hold on...
Brother, that's how kids are. We should talk sense into him.
Let me talk to the kid?
We've decided we don't want it. Let it go.
Brother, we can't cancel a seat that's paid for.
We paid the entire amount. The registration is complete.
So you want me to write off all the money to the college as charity?
You go back to your village.
We can't dance to your whims and fancies.
Who the hell are you? Learn to talk with respect.
Why should I respect you?
You've got a stupid son, how can we help it?
The seat has been paid for. The admission is done.
If you call again, I'll murder you. Hang up!
What's wrong with him?
He looks furious.
We're in trouble.
Why did you tell him to come here?
Don't know how to handle a problem?
Handle what? You ran your mouth.
Nazir, it's our job to explain that it can't be cancelled.
We should change our phone numbers to evade such people.
You shouldn't have called him here.
I know him. He won't give up easily.
Why should we run scared?
He is entitled to demand a refund.
We brokered the admission. We have to talk to them and sort it out.
Don't say a thing there. - This is unnecessary.
We should've just changed our numbers. - Let's handle it.
Brother, we are sorry. It was a mistake.
I was just telling them about you. - Who spoke to me over phone?
Brother, let it go. It was a mistake.
Who was it on the phone?
Please, brother. It was a mistake.
Brother, don't create any trouble.
Everyone is watching. - Who spoke to me over phone?
It was me, sir.
Come here.
Brother! - Sir...
I knew it had to be him.
Why are you hitting him now?
You want me to roam around like a mongrel to get my money back from you?
Load them into the car. Let's demand money from the college.
Sir, we got the admission off the books.
So the cancellation has to be done off the books too.
Sir, I will get it cancelled for you.
When?
Sir, I'll get it done tomorrow morning. Please leave now.
Leave, sir.
Please leave.
I don't care that you're from my village.
I'll slaughter you and toss the pieces outside the college.
Start the car.
Nazir, don't worry. We will handle it.
Let's go.
Come on.
Bro, there's a problem.
Can we transfer the seat to some other parent, bro?
The demand is quite high. Our chances are good.
I'll post it in the WhatsApp group, okay?
Bro... - Calm down, dude. We should get a reply.
Let me know if you know someone.
Please look into it, bro. - No problem.
It's not an issue. - Thanks, bro.
Also, don't forget, you will have to give me one lakh from your profits.
That's not an issue, bro. - Then you have nothing to worry about.
No problem, dude. We will finish it off. - Thanks, bro.
See you. - Bye.
Mr. Ramu, it's confirmed.
Bring the parent with the cash.
We will cancel our seat, and get you an admission instead.
[Speaking Telugu] Okay. I'll do that.
It's done. Now you talk to your guy.
Okay. - Hurry up.
Don't feel bad, kid.
I've been beaten up several times when I was your age.
Be happy.
Bro? - Yes, dude?
We have an interested party.
Wow, okay...
They are from Andhra.
That is awesome. - Get it ready, bro.
Sir, I spoke to him.
Kanal, the party is in the car. Mr. Ramu is the middleman.
Ask the guy if everything is ready. - I'll talk to him.
I'll be back.
[Speaking Telugu] How long will it take? - Be patient.
[Speaking Telugu] He is talking to the party.
[Speaking Telugu] Is the money ready?
[Speaking Telugu] We never discussed the commission.
Bro, the party is here.
Can you talk to Ravi Varma's office and get back immediately?
Are you trying to play your games with me?
I didn't do anything. I didn't know they'd make such a huge profit!
I spoke to your party now. You're making money on the side too?
If I ever see you around the University, I'll kill you.
They are all from Kaaligambal College.
They've planned and executed perfectly.
Hello? - What the hell have you done?
Your party went straight to Ravi Varma's office.
You can't bloody keep your party in line? Now they'll keep all the money!
Don't you dare come to me hereafter. - Bro, do something. You are our only hope.
You screwed my life up, man. We are all screwed now.
I've done everything I can for the money you paid me.
What?
[Speaking Telugu] If you can't, just say so.
[Speaking Telugu] I trusted you and told the client it's confirmed.
[Speaking Telugu] What will I tell them now?
You heard him. What do you want to do now?
I paid 65 lakhs.
They used your name to trick me.
Our price was only 50 lakhs. Back then.
I can cancel the seat and get you 50 lakhs.
How is that fair? I can't leave without my 15 lakhs.
Feel free to stay here then. - Rajesh!
Here is 50 lakhs.
The smart thing to do is to take it and leave.
Being dramatic won't get you a penny more.
Alright.
Goodbye.
How could you be so stupid?
Some village brute almost got away with the money.
Fix the price at 75 lakhs.
How many parents do we have on stand by?
Four of them.
Then auction it.
And I get nothing for closing the deal!
He made a handsome profit.
[in Urdu] Maybe it's important. Pull over and answer.
[in Urdu] I'll answer, Mom.
[in Urdu] What's wrong?
[in Urdu] Why are you acting weird?
[in Urdu] Nothing's wrong. Bye, Mom.
[in Urdu] Okay, take care.
Nazir, where are you?
Heading back to the flat. Is the exchange with the Andhra party done?
Come to your home first.
Why, what happened? - Just come there.
Brother, don't do this.
It's his home. Please don't humiliate him here.
Go away. Don't get yourself killed.
Why did you bring him home? Are you mad?
You screwed me over. Of course, I'll show up at your home!
What's your problem? Why are you here?
Your issue will be sorted out today.
You didn't tell him?
That didn't work out.
Kanal says we need to find another party.
I'm a loan shark. You thought you could cheat me?
When did we cheat you?
You charged 65 lakhs for a 50 lakh seat. That's not cheating?
It's normal to have a mark up.
Is that so?
Don't spin these tales with me.
When I come tomorrow, I expect your house deed.
Or I'll lock your house and take the keys with me.
You and your mother will be out in the streets.
I warn you, you'll be humiliated in public.
Didn't I tell you we shouldn't even talk to him?
You dragged me there, and now he is threatening to barge into my home.
He threatens to humiliate my mother. What the hell does he think?
Calm down. We won't let him do any such thing.
What now? - We won't let him.
This won't work. - We will manage.
How are we going to recover all that spent money?
Kanal thinks we can sell things and pay him back. I'm trapped.
Why are you yelling?
Lamenting won't solve anything!
Try to sell the car first.
That ate up most of the money.
If we sell it, we can pay him the initial amount and buy more time.
Get up, man. Listen to us.
Get up and come out.
You tell him.
I've taken a look. We have a lot of things...
...but we won't be able to sell them online at such short notice.
I'm unable to cancel the flight tickets to Goa because it's holiday season.
He hard-sold us the bloody tour package and now he is ignoring my calls.
I'll sell the car and call you.
I'll come with you.
Pay me an extra 50 rupees from tomorrow.
Crows are shitting all over the car. My hands are sore from scrubbing it clean.
I'm talking to you. Don't ignore me.
It's your responsibility to check before you buy a car.
I trusted you, and bought the car from you.
This is just business.
Business? You fraud-- - Mind your language.
How dare you accuse us? Get the hell out of here.
He doesn't know a thing about cars, but he wants to own one!
I warned you not to get into this. You never listened.
Stop lecturing me.
How much can you give me?
This is all I have.
Hello? - Mate...
Tell me.
Why do things always go wrong only for us?
What happened?
The car is apparently a flood vehicle.
They will only pay 75 grand for it.
I am scared. I don't know what to do.
[in Urdu] I'm on duty, son.
[in Urdu] Mom, they're asking me to pay the whole fees.
[in Urdu] Bring the money without fail.
[in Urdu] Where do I go for money?
Sorry, sir.
[in Urdu] I'll try.
[in Urdu] You want me to be humiliated in front of everyone?
[in Urdu] I won't talk to you.
[in Urdu] Let me know if you are hungry.
[in Urdu] I'll fix you some dinner.
[in Urdu] Where are you going?
[in Urdu] I'm going to Kanal's flat.
[in Urdu] When will you return?
[in Urdu] I don't know.
[in Urdu] Armaan, did Nazir tell you when he'd return?
[in Urdu] When does he ever tell me anything?
[in Urdu] He didn't tell you?
Hello, Ma?
Kanal, tell Nazir to come home once he is up.
Nazir is not here. He told me he was going home last night.
No, he told me he was going there.
Why is his phone switched off?
I think he must have gone to the lecturer's house.
Let me check, Ma.
He's been grumpy since yesterday.
He said he had to pay the entire fees and fought asking for money.
I'm trying to borrow. Make him understand.
Okay, Ma.

Your mother must have returned from work. Go home now.

Excuse me, who are you? Who do you want to see?
Calm down, kid. Call your mother.
How dare you barge into my home?
Get out. - Stop yapping, kid.
Who is he?
[in Urdu] He just barged in and sat here. Ask him who he is.
Who are you? What do you want?
Call up your son. He will tell you who I am.
Your son is not decent.
He is college admission broker.
He committed fraud and fled with my money.
He is a student. Don't you dare call him a fraud.
I'll ask him when he comes home.
But you don't get to barge into my house and create trouble. Leave.
Give me my money, I'll leave.
I said, get out.
This woman doesn't seem to get it.
Lock the house and get the keys.
Only then will she understand.
Kanal, what's going on? - Calm down, Ma.
Where is he? - I spoke to Nazir. He'll be here soon.
This man is saying terrible things about Nazir.
We are here now. We will handle it.
Who are you?
When did we take money from you?
Do you have any proof? Did we sign on a legal paper?
Next time you come home, I'll wipe you out.
Let's go, brother.
We'll do what it takes to get our money back.
We helped this man's son get a college admission.
There's an issue now.
Why is the police car stopping here?
I don't know...
Who are Nazir and Kanal? - He is right here.
Kanal... - Me?
Yes.
What for? - I don't know.
What is it, sir? - Are you Nazir?
I'm Kanal, sir. Just a small enquiry. Get in.
What for?
Are you glaring at me?
Get in! - What did we do?
Get in. All three of you.
Why are you taking us for no reason? - What did we do?
You want to get in too?
Sir, we haven't done anything. - Don't worry. We will follow you.
Where has your friend stashed the money?
Sir, there is no money left. We spent it.
I'll kill you, rascal.
How dare you lie to me?
I know you've hid the money.
Call his alternate number and tell him to come here immediately.
Don't blow this issue up. It's for your own good.
Sir, we don't know where he is.
Where is Thangam sir? - I informed him. He'll be here.
Tell him to put together some money.
See who is calling.
Hello? - Buddy...
Where are you?
We've been looking for you.
Don't yell at me.
Where is Kanal?
They've arrested him and Prem. - Tell him to come here.
So the police took my mother too?
Dude, we can solve the issue. Where the hell are you?
Give me the phone.
That guy is the reason for all of this. I'll kill him!
He ruined our lives.
Just come here. Let's talk about him later.
Hello?
What did he say? Give me the phone. - He hung up.
He is being so dramatic!
What the hell does he think?
Hello? I am here. - I see you.
I'll come to you. - Calm down.
Nayagam, the suspect had a weapon on him.
The guy who ran away might have one too. Watch out.
Recover my money, don't tell me to watch out.
Talk to his family first.
Then get them to sign the papers.
They are carrying weapons. They are dangerous.
You think that punk can get me?
I'll get back to you. Go now.
Go away.
Make way. - The AC is here.
Hello, sir.
Hold on a moment. - Make way.
Arul, tell them to stay calm till the enquiry is over.
If he files an FIR, your parents will have to come here.
Please don't involve our parents, sir.
Don't you get it? - We met our end of the deal.
Please, sir. Let us go.
Tell him to free us, sir.
Hello, sir.
The inspector is interrogating a cheating case.
Call him.
Sir, we didn't cheat anyone.
Please help us out, sir. Do something.
Did you broker college seats?
KEM University? - Yes, sir.
Sir, they cheated a naive parent, promising him a medical seat.
One of the boys absconded with the money.
I'm interrogating them.
Are you mad? You heard the car. Why didn't you close the door?
Yeah, the inspector is our man.
Die!
What is that guy paying you?
Sir, no such thing.
I'm going to charge the management, the brokers, and everyone involved.
That's the only way to expose them.
Get a written complaint from that "naive parent".
The case won't hold, sir...
So?
Like we don't regularly fabricate cases out of pressure from the ruling party.
Yeah?
Go.
Okay, sir.
Hello? - Sir, this is Pandian from Intelligence.
Tell me.
The inspector is interrogating an admission case to make money off it.
Any students involved? - Yes, sir.
Looks like the AC is taking a special interest in this case.
He might slap a case on you and the management.
Be careful. - How much money should I send?
He doesn't take money. He is very straight forward.
A Muslim boy has absconded.
Talk it out soon.
The reputation of the college is at stake.
Sorry, Mom.
Sorry, Mom...
We found a body hanging at Tirusulam Hill.
Looks like the college student who went absconding.
You waited till he died?
If word gets out, you have nothing to lose. The founder and I will lose face.
I won't let that happen. I'll talk to the founder...
...and frame the death such that word doesn't get out.
It's the founder who asked me to talk to you.
You're letting these punks grow into big-shots?
If you aren't up to the job, just quit.
You did not even run a background check?
What's the point of you if he must do all the work?
We didn't know-- - They came to you first.
I'll handle this. Go in.
It's not a problem.
Pay everyone except the AC, and get the boys out.
I'll take care of those village brutes.
We can't spare them. I'll kill them.
No need for that.
Yes, he is a college student. Let's not do anything.
You are so outdated.
College students are the greatest criminals.
Don't feel sorry for them.
We made a compromise at the police station. So let's not do this.
Kanal...
How could he do such a thing?
I never thought he'd do such a thing!
Come here.
I said, come here.
If I see you or your friends anywhere near the college again...
I'll bloody kill you.
Stop.
I'm talking to him. - He humiliated us.
What's that commotion there? Get going.
Don't come to the college anymore.
We've sorted it out.
Leave.
Listen, everything is happening really fast in your life. Be careful.
Go.
Take him away.
Why would he do such a thing?
What will I tell his mother now?
Why would he do such a thing?
Nazir... you've left your poor mother.
Oh, Nazir! How did you have the heart to abandon your mother?
What will the poor lady do all alone?
When she came to Chennai, they were just little boys.
She struggled to build this house.
We hoped he'd be there to support his mother.
But he's abandoned her.
They won't arrest him, will they?
No. They let him off with a warning because he is a student.
Is Kanal back?
Nazir...
[in Urdu] : Bring him out. Face his head this way.
After everything he did, he dares to come into our hood.
Don't act in haste. People are mourning here.
I don't care. Shut up.
You jerk!
He was your friend. And now you got him killed.
Stop fighting.
Please don't fight here.
You can see him one last time.
You heard her.
Come on.
See him.
Have a look at his face one last time.

Here comes danger!
Hi, buddy.
Go away! - Where's my tea?
Prem, is he a client?
Buzz off, man. - Closing a deal at the tea shop?
Take him away. - Party tonight?
That is Kanal's father. Won't you be quiet?
He is here, Pa.
Buddy, I think your father stopped by the college.
He knew you were here and came upstairs.
The booze and cigarettes pissed him off.
I tried to pacify him, but I couldn't.
Watch out.
Have you stopped going to college to do this business?
Your mother, your sister, and I are counting on you to become an engineer.
But here you are, working as a college admissions broker...
...roaming around the city, cheating people?
You are like a sinking stone.
Haven't you learned from Nazir's death?
Dad, don't go there.
Don't go there?
You think I'm a fool to pay interest for your educational loan?
Look, I'm in a lousy mood.
If I say 'yes', it would be humiliating for you.
If I suddenly die, who'd take care of the family?
Me, of course. Who else?
If only you'd let me.
Stop and think about your mistake.
I begged you...
"I want to do business. Let me study something to help with that."
If I wanted to study engineering, I'd have got an admission on merit.
You trusted the word of some mongrel and put me there.
You could atleast study for my sake?
You have no idea about engineering.
You have no idea how many departments are there.
You put me there hoping that I'd make a lot of money, and you could show off.
Let me make this clear.
Out here, they treat engineering students like trash.
Nazir said, "Once you enter the business of brokering seats...
...we can't exit it even if we want to."
I realized it was true.
You think it's okay to drink during the day when there's a problem?
Sir, we are discussing how to solve the problem.
Stop annoying us.
I know you don't need an excuse to drink. Shut it.
Like you never drink. - What happened?
Prem's townsman lay low for the problem to blow over...
and now he's started demanding money again.
He seems like a real criminal.
Looks like he won't stop till he gets his money.
After what happened to Nazir, I somehow calmed my family down.
But that darned monster has raised a ruckus at my home this morning.
We will handle it, don't worry.
You don't realise the gravity of the situation.
He said disgusting things to my parents...
and threatened to throw them out of town if we don't pay him.
I suggest we go back to the police station.
What do you think?
They will only try to make more money out of this issue.
Then let's go to KEM College and say he is trying to stir up trouble again.
Ravi Varma's team resolved the issue for us only because...
they didn't want the university's reputation to take a hit due to Nazir's death.
If we go back to them, they will bash us.
Fine, what do we do then?
We can get out of this mess only if we broker seats again.
Only that college will fetch that kind of money.
You want to end your life too?
Talk right, or be quiet.
We'll broker seats at KEM College sidestepping Ravi Varma's team.
He made that college what it is.
You can't sidestep him.
He'll get us killed.
Try and find a contact, sir.
I get it now.
You are never going to let me live in peace.
I'm going to eat.
Dosa and a soft scramble for you?
That works. Can you also get chicken fried rice?
Chicken fried rice? For whom?
My girl is coming over. - This is my house.
What if the landlord saw her?
Why can't you stay with the boys for one night?
I have nightmares about Nazir's ghost, too.
I'm not sleeping there.
Want to stay here and watch?
This is the last time. - Water delivery, sir.
Leave it there.
What can I say, Prem? At least someone's having fun.
The guest of honour is here.
How are your parents?
Older people are supposed to give sound advice.
How could you join him and do this?
Like your lover is a naive baby who hasn't learned to suckle yet.
Look, I've been getting marriage proposals.
Don't come here anymore.
Oh yeah? Nothing's going to work out!
Nothing is gonna work out for you! - You'll get married only at 60!
Can I have a groundnut candy?
That was quite an earful. - You heard that?
After everything that happened...
I thought you'd leave it all behind and turn a new leaf.
But you are back to square one.
How about I work as a delivery boy then?
That's the only job I'm qualified for.
I'd pocket 15 grand a month. Let's solve all my problems with that?
I didn't say anything wrong. Why do you say such things?
I've somehow landed myself in this mess.
More than Prem...
...I'm worried for Nazir's mother.
She is going through hard times.
His father took loans and disappeared.
They were hoping he'd study and clear the debts.
The loan sharks are swarming outside his house.
I don't have the courage to face his mother.
He is a close relative to the university founder's son-in-law.
He'd be worthless without the campus housekeeping contract.
He's got a loose mouth.
He's borrowed money all over-- - Sir!
You fool-- - Hello, sir.
How come you are having tea at this shop, sir?
Why can't I have tea here?
It's my relative's shop.
I have to support his business, right?
He didn't mean it that way. You are the founder's relative.
You look like a big shot.
But you are having tea at a small shop. You appear simple.
I'm a really simple man.
Get it? Really simple.
People without money are the ones who go overboard.
I don't like that.
You study in KEM college?
Sir, I'm from another college.
I'm here to take my cut for brokering an admission.
That's great.
You are making good pocket money without troubling your parents.
Sir, it's more than just pocket money!
If I had the right contacts, I'd buy a college in 5 years and settle down.
Let's buy a school instead of a college. Schools charge higher fees.
Yeah? - Yes.
It's true, sir.
Is there a lot of money in it?
Sir, you can make big bucks by brokering just 5-10 seats in KEM College.
Don't pretend to be naive, sir.
You are his relative too. Haven't you brokered a single seat?
I don't interfere with admissions.
Why, sir? No one can overstep Ravi Varma, eh?
Don't talk about him.
The founder gave him an opportunity because he studied here.
Sir, have you ever been to the founder's house?
I said he's family, you fool.
Of course I've been to his house.
When he was looking for a groom for his daughter...
rather than finding some rich guy...
who do you think found him a groom...
...within our community to help run the business?
Who?
Me.
When I go to visit him, no one would stop me.
And the founder, no matter how busy he is...
"Hello, Sambandham. Have a seat."
He gives me such a warm welcome.
Seats are no big deal.
All I have to do is put in a word.
He'd give me as many seats as I want.
Sounds like a tall tale, sir.
Shut up! - He is going overboard.
Calm down. - What the hell?
Calm down, sir.
Are you mocking me?
Sir, I'll get to the point.
Get me a direct contact by overstepping Ravi Varma.
I'll give you 50 grand per seat.
What say?
I'll talk to the founder regarding Sambandham's proposal.
But if some issue crops up--
Okay, sir. I'll handle it.
You can leave.
I'll take it from here.
Send him off and come to the office. - Get going.
Come here. - Yes, chief?
Do you broker seats yourself? - Would you believe me if I said yes?
I can't fool you.
I have a team of students for that.
If you'd kindly talk to the admin about the rates...
Money is not a problem at all. You have to outdo everyone.
I know who you mean. Consider it done.
I'll take care of it.
Here is the list you wanted.
Don't share it with anyone else. - Okay, thanks.
This is a list of all the parents with their contact details.
Let's split the work and call them up.
How did you get all these contacts?
Is that really important? Be quiet.
You continue.
Kanal, don't risk your neck for him.
He is going to strip us all naked.
Don't ever take the parents inside the college.
I've had it with you-- - Calm down.
Back off, sir. He's yelling at you. Have you no shame?
If the clients say they already have a contact...
...tell them we'd get it done at a much lower price.
Even a small profit is enough.
My son wants ECE. But EEE is okay too.
Should I pay an advance? - No, I'll call you.
I hope you are meeting the clients outside, like Thangam said.
The juice shop. - That's perfect.
Hello, sir?
We can do it for a lower price.
Sir, over here.
Definitely, sir.
Why have you left a client standing there?
Here.
How is it going?
This is the end of Ravi Varma.
This season has been dull.
Rajesh, come here.
Don't tell him anything now. He will think we are weak.
Boys... - Yes, sir?
Let our partnership continue for the coming admission seasons too.
Since I'm doing this...
...the founder has given me a free hand.
Sir, that's awesome. We will kill it.
Sir!
Mechanical Engineering, right? - Yes, I'll get it done.
I'll call you with a confirmation.
Sir, you can count it. It's all there.
Why are you scared, boy?
Take off that cap!
This is our college. We control it!
And boys, I forgot to tell you...
...I've bought an awesome car.
She's a beauty. You make a lot of money.
Why not buy a used car?
What's up?
Settle Nayagam's dues with this money.
Let's give this to Nazir's mother first.
No, I'll take care of it.
Get a written statement from him. Or he'll say we never paid him back.
Thanks, man. - Tell your family not to fear.
A 300 acre integrated township project with great security--
All that's great, but have you obtained the necessary approvals?
Sir, we've completed the formalities. We are at the handover stage.
Should I follow up with your missus? - No. She shouldn't know.
Please give us time. We just got to know about it through you.
Don't create a scene here.
Be patient.
We will fix this.
You need not panic.
Be calm.
Sir...
I'll be back.
We trusted you with our money.
Apparently, the admin told our candidates that all seats are filled out.
How come?
He's close to the management, so it's natural for him to be cocky.
Call him. Put it on speaker.
Let's hear his story.
Hello? - Hello...
Sir, this is Narayanan calling from Ravi Varma's office.
What is it?
How could you not give our candidates first preference?
Hold on a second. - Look into it, please.
Look into what? If it's on hold, it's on hold.
I don't get it. How could you-- - Are you stupid?
We'll see next year. You don't get to order me around.
Sir, we understand your problems. We don't cheat anyone.
Our boss will deal with it.
Get up, man. You have the audacity to mess with us?
Who the heck are you to touch my seats?
Think you are the founder?
Sir, I don't make the decisions.
Rajesh, sock his jaw. I'd like to watch.
I'm just following the founder's son-in-law's instructions.
What? - Obviously, the founder knows too.
Hey... - No.
They've created a new team to broker admissions without you.
You invited me, and you're just sitting here?
What's the matter?
Sambandam, you've been with the college for years.
You could have told the founder's son-in-law to have a word with me.
Why should I inform you?
Because those are the rules for everyone.
There is a big team at work here.
The boss didn't build this college for you to make all the money.
The son-in-law has all the power now.
With complete support from the founder.
Ravi, my team will be a part of college admissions too.
You know something?
I've got a sharp kid from KEC college.
A sharp boy.
He is killing it.
Sharp, huh? - Buzz off.
I'll knock your teeth in.
Rajesh, calm down.
Mess with me, you mess with the founder. - Who's that?
Now you're scared, eh? - Sambandam...
Who is the KEC kid? Kanal?
Looks like my boy is becoming very popular.
He is a big-shot indeed.
See you.
Drink yourself to sleep, then. Good night.
He's had a taste of money. He won't quit now.
But I think the son-in-law must have brainwashed the founder.
You should meet the founder, just in case.
Why should I?
He could have had a word with me.
Like I invited him to have a word.
We should have showed them our might to show them their place.
Get it over with.
What is it?
Who are you?
Hey, watch out!
Can't you see or what? Cutting in like that...
Are you stupid?
What are you-- - You've got a loud mouth!
Die! Die!
Die...
Guys, come here. Hurry!
Someone please help.
Please help!
Kanal, run away--
Kanal, run away. Someone is coming from the back.
Giving his wife a job at the university won't fix anything.
You know he was my relative. This is an insult to me.
Why are you quiet? - Yes...
I know how to deal with him.
Did you get the call through? - It's ringing. Here.
I was about to meet you in person-- - Ravi, don't say anything.
Just listen to me.
No matter what, you should have had a word with me.
Or you could have asked me if I knew this was happening.
You think I didn't enquire with him?
I told him, "If you'd come to me, I'd have set it up for you."
Then why?
For my boys, whose livelihoods depend on admissions.
They thought someone snatched their jobs, and killed him out of fear.
Don't believe what others tell you. I had nothing to do with this.
Ravi, one second.
What?
We missed the boy.
He went hiding into the forest.
I've reached out to some locals who know their way around it.
Was he arrogant with you?
Tell him to drive home.
You should trust good people--
Tell him to drive home!
Hello?
Kanal?
Who is it? - This is Ravi Varma.
You did the right thing. What are you thinking about?
Strangely, I am angry with a boy and admire him, all at once.
Like it or not, he is smarter than all your men.
You want to use him for our plan, am I right?
Yes, we could do that.
I'm going to use him to play my game against the management.
But my sword of Damocles will always hang over his head.
We should have killed him during last year's admissions.
I asked two of my boys to surrender yesterday.
What was the point of sticking with him all these years?
The boss is heading out now. Stay there and meet him.
What are you glaring at? Wait there.
Look at the wee fellow.
There he comes.
Bring it home. - Okay.
♪ It's itching to stab you, scumbag ♪
Come here.
We had to sacrifice someone because of your mistake.
Sir, I had a lot of commitments.
I didn't have a choice.
You used Sambandam to break the network.
But how did you get all those parents?
I got the phone call history of one of your team members...
...filtered out parents' numbers from Incoming Calls...
...and lured them by promising them admissions at a lower rate.
Whose phone?
Rajesh.

Kanal, did you like it?
It looked like a TV soap.
He is just a kid. He knows nothing.
We are old. Get me some other good movie.
My first job was handling hundreds of crores of unaccounted money from admissions.
Don't assume that everything will go as per plan.
There will be trouble. Do a background check on the boy.
I'll take care of the rest.
He took you in only because you broke his network.
Or he'd never invite you to his home.
Introduce me to him.
Ma'am, sir had sent for us. - Leave it there. He will be late.
Madam, the girl's got her father's eyes.
Okay, we will get going.
You suck at brokering admissions. - Kanal, what sort of talk is that?
You know that auto stand in front of KEM college?
I knew Ravi from the time I used to drive an auto-rickshaw.
But I still don't understand why he took you in.
I'm sure he's got a plan.
I knew it. He doesn't look like an admissions broker.
Do you still drive an auto?
Why should I drive an auto?
I've made enough money to eat and drink till my death.
I am not dependent on anyone.
I considered quitting because I was well sorted.
But this business isn't letting me go.
It's true, sir.
Greetings, sir. - Have a seat.
The rift between you and my son-in-law...
...has been troubling me lately.
My family doesn't heed my words. Don't lick that!
You are like family to me and you don't heed my words either.
Henceforth, you take 60 percent of the engineering and medical admissions.
My son-in-law will fill the other 40 percent.
So your count for this year is done, right?
Join us to watch the movie 'Kalaiarasi'?
I've seen it many times.
Let's do it as you said.
See you.
How could you give in to the founder? What about us then?
We can't defy the founder's orders. Let it go.
What if we had--
I don't care if you take it the wrong way.
Your profit will only take a small hit by splitting it 60/40.
But you've got RV Finance, overseas education, NEET coaching.
You are well sorted.
But I'm just looking to go to the next level.
Shut up! You lost all your money investing in cinema.
You sucked up to make money.
Watch your bloody tongue.
Let it go. Why are you yelling?
Let him do as he wants with his money.
You had great profits last year.
You've taken an advance from this year's candidates too.
They will demand a refund now. Pay them back.
You've said your piece. Get going.
He wants to secure his money, and the rest of us are idiots?
You need to put out the fire to stop the heat.
Let me talk to him.
Rajesh...
The 60/40 deal is just the start.
There is more to come.
Are you glaring at me? Buzz off.
Let's go.
Hello, sir.
Sir, please.
Sir, just like you said, the response has been great.
This is just the first set.
We should give admissions only to parents who come in person.
Okay, sir.
Put the money inside.
More importantly, post men at the entrance to frisk the parents and students.
Someone could record a video and make a story out of it.
Get it? - Sure, sir. I'll take care of it.
Be careful.
Fifty crores is no small money. They are bound to be scared.
Having a jolly chat, are we? Give me a light.
Go and talk to the parents.
Why should I talk to them? You handle them.
No one will leave without their money.
When Ravi gets here, he will yell at you.
Tell him to come then.
His bravado works only on us. He couldn't say a thing to the founder.
Tell him to talk to the parents. I am not doing this.
Let me talk to them?
You took our money, and now you are refusing a refund.
All your seats will get confirmed.
Ravi Varma just called.
You can leave.
We don't believe you. Return our money.
We will never let you down.
You keep delaying it. - Yes, there is a delay. We agree!
I know I'm not supposed to say this, but still...
If your seat doesn't get confirmed by tomorrow...
...file a police complaint.
I was handling them. Why did you run your mouth?
There was a real crowd at the college.
Parents are happily paying an advance to get an admission.
What is he saying now?
He is done for, boss. He can't recover from this.
The boys aren't with him anymore. I've got them in my pocket.
He might even shut his office fearing the parents.
I'll get you clients from North to South.
Give me one chance.
I'll bring all the admissions under our control.
He has no option but to fall at my feet.
You are right.
It's Narayanan.
Yes, brother?
Ravi, tomorrow is the closing day for admissions.
The parents are pestering us for a refund.
Get the money somehow. - Dad, come home early.
Little one, don't wait up. Go to sleep. - Ravi?
Are you on the line? - What sort of talk is that?
When have we ever given a refund?
They would complain to the police.
What do you want me to do?
There is only one thing we can do, Ravi. I'll tell them to close the office?
Why aren't you telling me where you are taking the money?
Because it's money, Mona. Let's not do that.
Anything can happen anytime where the money is stored.
When it comes to you, I won't take the smallest of risks.
They called from the detective agency.
They found the rat who works for the founder's son-in-law.
It's Rajesh. Am I right?
What are we going to do to him?
I am not going to spare him.
Sir, can you hear me? Let me come out for better signal.
Will everything go as per plan?
Sir, it will go perfectly.
This is a chance to prove myself. I'll show you.
I'm taking a big risk counting on you. - Sir, wait and watch them cry.
Ravi Varma entrusted me with revenge for his humiliation of 60/40 change.
Have the parents you set up already assembled?
Tell them all to go together and cancel their seats.
They can go to hell.
It's the last day for closing admissions as per Medical Council of India's guidelines.
This is where my plan starts.
Hello, sir? - Yes, Ganapathy.
Sir, parents have been pouring in all day, cancelling their seats.
What are you saying? - There is a lot of confusion.
More than half our admissions were fake parents.
Like fake marksheets, I set up fake parents to go to the university...
...to pay money and confirm their admissions.
Get it done.
We will pay them after the job.
I've got a film background artist agent here.
I'll settle his dues. - Go ahead.
Fake parents?
Yes, sir. I think we are in deep trouble.
If the founder gets to know, my life would be ruined.
Calm down!
Sir? Okay, sir.
I'll come to the university. Be patient.
Sir, you are mistaken.
Strange things are happening on the last day of admissions.
Sir, all our plans have gone to waste.
We don't even have parents on standby.
Sir, the university's reputation will be damaged.
Go in directly.
The founder shouldn't hear about this.
Pass the phone to him.
Tell me.
A little kid could sidestep you so easily. That's the level of your business acumen.
Get that in your thick skull.
I gave you people this luxurious life and high status.
You didn't make me big, get it? You are up there because of me.
You can sit on your thrones only as long as you don't provoke those below you.
If you don't get it, ask your father-in-law.
Forget about the college and stay put at home.
Money will continue to pour in.
If you cross my path...
I'll kill you.
Sir, this is the admin officer.
You want real parents? - Yes, sir.
Take the list from Kanal. - Okay, sir.
Kanal Sir, give me that list.
I haven't named our price yet.
It's the same price as usual, right?
We've increased the price.
That's not a problem, sir.
Brother, I am sorry. I went overboard.

Anyone in Ravi Varma's place will swindle money.
But he gets the job done.
He makes us more money than he pilfers from us.
That is how business works.
Don't you even get that?

I'm going to buy an engineering college and convert it into an arts college.
Sir, which college?
As we discussed, your 30% cash will reach you.
The balance will be credited to your account after the paperwork.
Who will be bringing the money? Narayanan, right?
His name is Kanal. He handles the transactions.
Give him all the particulars.
I know him very well, sir. He is a student in my college.
He is very smart, sir.
I know.
Sir, a producer friend of mine is producing a movie with a big hero.
He wanted to know if you could finance-- - Let's finish this deal first.
After that, I'll do it no matter the budget.
Definitely.
Finish your drink.
What about KEM college admissions?
They are our opponents now.
When someone cuts us out of their life...
...we must show them what we are.
If we don't upgrade ourselves, we will be left with nothing.
We will get stagnated.
I've got the job to suit your skills.
I want you to handle the admissions.
Will you do it?
Sir, need you even ask?
Let's kill it.
Open the glove box.
There is 10 lakhs in it. It's your cut.
I'll tell you when to transfer the money.
Do a clean job.
Okay.
Sir just told me.
I was glad to hear it.
Sir, my college is very lucky. Look how it's turned his life around.
All the best.
Thank you, sir. - See you.
I'll call you, sir.
Start the car.
Let's rock it, sir.
That's fine...
but we need to address Rajesh's issue first.
Why, sir?
Him and his boys have joined KEM to work against us now.
What do we do now, sir?
He holds a grudge against both of us.
He is complaining everywhere that you've taken his place.
If he gets to know we are buying a college, he will be a big pain.
Kill him.
Or he will kill you.
Get it?
Okay, sir. I'll get it done.
I've been in such situations in my life too.
Have you heard about Malli's gang?
I wouldn't be where I am today if I hadn't killed them.
To sustain in this business, you need to handle such things.
That's the game.
Think about your career. You will understand.
Don't do it yourself. Get your boys to do it.
I'll bail them out.
Why are you here at this hour? Where is your bike?
Get going. - Did you even hear me?
Answer me. - Just go.
Ravi Varma is going to buy our college.
We have to run it for him. We are going to be in full control.
That's great news. Why do you look so glum?
Give me your bike keys.
Hurry up.
Where are you going? - Here.
I'm talking to you. - Where are you going?
Why isn't he answering us? - He looks glum.
You brought him here. What is it?
He didn't tell me anything either.
Discharge the patient and ask them to meet the doctor at OP.
Okay, sister.
Hello?
This is Kanal, Ma.
One second.
Tell me, son.
I need to see you.
I am waiting outside the hospital.
You don't answer my calls. You don't visit either.
Kanal, we hold no grudge against you.
Stop thinking about that.
Here... - What is this?
Where did you get all this money?
Please take this.
Have you started brokering college admissions again?
Don't ask me anything. Just keep it.
What sort of talk is that?
We don't need this money. What your father gave us was enough.
I repaid my loans with that money.
My son isn't the reason for Nazir's death.
Sir, we never thought-- - But he believes that.
He said this was a result of his sins.
I hope you don't take it the wrong way.
Take this money.
No thank you, sir.
I insist.
You could use it. Take it.
I'll see you.
I don't know how he put together all that money.
I thought all of this ended with Nazir, but you're still doing this!
Hello? Yes, son?
Hello, Dad? - What is it, son?
Why do you sound shaky?
I'd gone to meet Nazir's mother.
She told me.
I wish to fall at your feet.
I should have told you a long time back...
...to forget about the money and quit college if you didn't like it.
But your father didn't know better.
Forgive me, son.
It's all become a business now.
They use people like us.
We should save ourselves.
Don't worry about lost time.
Leave it behind. Do what you like.
I'll stand by you.
You are smart.
You will succeed.
[in Hindi] I'll pass the phone to him, sir.
Hello, sir. - What is it at this hour?
Sir, I don't want this job. - What's wrong with you?
I'll meet Rajesh in person and talk it out.
Why are you backing out in the last minute?
Realisation hits me a little too late.
I've already lost my friend. That's enough.
I don't want to give up any more people.
Find someone else to do your job.
Don't tell me what to do.
Return the money and leave. I know what to do.
Don't worry.
Be happy that you made this decision.
Everything will be fine from now.
Wait.
Let me check.
What is it? - Water can, brother.
Did you order for water? - No, I didn't.
Maybe Thangam ordered--
Kanal...
Don't be scared. Get out of here.
Kanal! - Just leave.
I begged you, but you never listened. - Get out of here.
Leave, I will take care of myself. - Now he wants to kill you.
Just go.
Please get going.
Kanal...
Who is ringing the bell like this?
Where is the security guard?
Stay here, let me look.
Get inside, ma'am. We need to talk to him.
Nanjundaan, come here.
Greetings, sir.
Tell him exactly what the scoundrel told you.
Sir, after we agreed on the price...
...I asked him if he'd finance a big hero film, like you wanted me to.
He agreed immediately.
I'm sure he's swindled atleast 150-200 crores of our money.
He is just a broker. You should have put him in his place.
As discussed, please take over administration of my college.
I will kill Ravi Varma and the boy for you.
I will retrieve your money too.
Okay, sir.
Where is the security guard? Security!
Show us the money and documents, and your death will be quick.
Or you will suffer a painful death.
Security! - Mona...
The news should say he died in a gang war.
I will handle the press.
Go in, Mona. Let me talk to them.
I won't go in. - Mona...
I will be fine. You don't worry.
Trust me, Mona. Go in.
I won't go in.
It's nothing.
You'll wake up the little one. Get inside.
Listen to me.
I'm just going to talk to them.
Get inside.
Let them kill us too.
What's wrong with you?
No such thing is going to happen. Go.
Get inside, ma'am. - Don't be scared. Stay inside.
Don't be adamant, dear. Go.
Keep the child safe.
How long do we have to watch this sob story?
Let's get to work.
Drag him down here.
What's your problem? We've been waiting forever.
Come.
We were just talking. Why would you hit him?
Put your weapon away. Don't complicate matters.
Don't...
Come on. - Don't do this.
I'll kill your entire family.
Rajesh, we don't know where the money is.
Don't act in haste.
Be patient. - Shut up.
Brother, we are here only for the money.
Drop the weapon. - How dare you enter my home?
Drop it, brother.
Let's reach a compromise. I'll talk to the boss.
Trust me.
Rajesh, looks like he's got other ideas. Be patient.
Brother, listen to me--
Don't get close to him!
Don't act in haste!
Brother, I warned you...
Don't, brother...
Your time is up, brother.
You lost. You should quit.
Buddy...
Brother, that's enough.
I can't be patient any longer. Where is the money?
Bloody tell me!
Damn it!
They took everything from me, and made me sign the papers.
They will come for you next.
Run away.
What happened? - Sir, my men are looking everywhere.
We will find him soon, sir. We will.
I trusted you with it, thinking you'd do a clean job.
Is this all you are capable of?
He can't escape my men. I'll call you in half an hour with good news.
Give me half an hour.
If you can't find the boy, hang yourself before I hang you.
Get to work.
That ungrateful mutt is taking revenge on me even after his death?
We can nab the boy easily.
We will get all our money back.
Don't break your head over it.
Hello? - Son, this is your college chairman.
I know you must be angry with me.
But I had to look after my best interests, son.
I'll ensure nothing happens to you.
That's a promise.
Just tell me where the money and documents are.
What did Ravi Varma do for you while he was alive?
The KEM University management is ready to pay you 5 crores.
We can do it in total secrecy.
What say?
Are you still there, son?
Son?
What happened? - Go someplace safe. Don't step out till I say so.
Don't go back to the flat.
You don't know anything? - I swear, I don't.
If you don't tell us, I'll kill you. - We drink together. That's about it.
I don't know anything more.
Get lost! - I really don't know.
Should I start the car, sir? - Not needed.
Sir... - You've got a vehicle?
Yes, sir. - Hurry up.
What have you boys done!
I warned you the other day.
You should have stayed out of this.
I don't know where to go.
Protect us, sir.
Are you seriously asking a policeman to protect you?
You know what happened with your friend.
If I lock you up, they will kill you in there.
I can't do anything now.
It's not just about the money.
He has evidence of all our transactions.
That is more important to me.
If that kid digs it up, things will get messy for us.
Where else can I go?
Go to the people.
You can save yourself only if this issue comes to light.
I am a student who brokers college admissions for a commission.
I'll tell you how an engineer like me got into this...
...and the underworld that you didn't know existed.
My name is Kanal Arasan.
This is my confession.
Following Kanal Arasan's confession...
demanding for an enquiry into KEM University's violations...
and asking for a compensation of the money they've lost...
several parents have gathered outside the commissioner's office...
to file complaints and to protest.
Since his anticipatory bail was rejected at the Chennai High Court...
Easwaramoorthy, the founder of KEM University had been absconding...
along with his son-in-law Kumaran.
Early this morning, they were both arrested by the police.
In support of Kanal Arasan, who exposed the education mafia...
the public have expressed solidarity and demanded for his protection...
using the hashtag #ConfessionsofanEngineer
A student has died already. The management makes students broker seats!
Kanal has exposed everything clearly in the video.
There's a threat to his life. He needs to be protected.
The only solution is for the government to regulate private college admissions.
Students becoming seat brokers in the admissions business of some colleges...
...is a great curse to our society.
Protecting our education system which thrived thanks to social justice...
...is our moral responsibility.
