Western Ghats Masinakudi
Who is it?
- Where are you heading? - Did the DFO call you?
Oh! You...he asked me to show you around the jungle
Move on
Turn right
Ahaa! I was wondering how come they were missing!
You are burning this forest like camphor
Turn left
If 5 trees per person it's a super catch today
We'll grease your palm too Don't worry
We can't go beyond this point We must cross the river
Get down
Unload and carry all the stuff
Hey, careful! Take care of the generator
Give it to me! Make it fast
This is Aravankadu The place you enquired about
Oh my God!
Look how tall the teakwood trees are
About 100 feet and more Each teak will fetch you 4 lakhs
Your job is done Off you go...go...GO
Start the motor You climb up, da
- Get on with your work - Start the cutter
Start the cutter
Drop the rope Tighten it, da
Hey! Cut it
Careful! Hurry up!
Chay! Won't you check all this before coming?
Throw that petrol can here
Hey! Grab it
Now start it
- Chay! Check it well - Already I checked it
Untie me, da
Bro! It must be some booby trap for tigers
What the hell? Lower me down, da?
Not for tigers, da For filthy pigs like you
Kumar, climb over the tree
In what way does it affect you if we cut trees in the forest?
Why did you hit us? Who are you, da?
"An eye sparks velocity Another sparkles vivacity"
"He is a wild waterfall"
"He thrives on ground Also in the sky flies around"
"A bird of prey with ability"
"Like the clouds, can't be touched Like the woods, can't be scorched"
"He is the epitome of generosity with 'whip the wind' tenacity"
"He's the wind that can't be tied An antler that doesn't collide"
"He's so tall, can't be touched He's the sharpest ever sword"

"A brave battler He's a wild creeper"
"He's an assailant; a militant A courageous combatant"
"A fearless fighter He's an all pervading wild fire"
You'll talk to the trees and the elephants in the jungle
But you won't have time to talk only with me?!
Day after is your birthday I'll spend the whole day with you
- Okay, Rupa? - I love you
"Sometimes I whisper to many a hued flower"
"With herds of elephants wild I bathe...beguiled"
"Boomerang in mid air I'll throw with a flair"
"I bend backwards for bruised birds"
"My college lessons I learnt from this jungle sunburnt"
"Hearing my name ring a concert the koel will sing"
"Who is he? One man mutiny"

Yov! Madhava Perumal
You nodded your head so vigorously and are you instigating your son?
What's your problem?
District forest officer accepted our bribe and turned a blind eye
Are you some bigwig?
One word and you'll be sent to some godforsaken place
Warn your son, you won't like the consequence
Bro, he isn't listening to anyone
How does it affect him if anyone cuts any tree?
He gets on a high horse
You look rough and tough Try your luck with a few blows
Son...you've beaten up my men Hope you know who I am
We'll cut trees If necessary also men
I'm sparing you for your father's sake Otherwise you'll be dead meat
I've advised your son He'll behave himself now
Thank you so much, bro
Get in, man
Your ear is bleeding, bro
AiyaiyO! He took just one crack at me
He's not a normal son He's a killer of the beastly kind
Speed up
Does he think a forest ranger is someone who washes dishes!
They think they can cut down sandalwood trees and...
...then write them off blaming it on the wind!
Hunt down deer and claim they got run over accidentally
If anyone questions them, they'll kill and blame it on the tiger
Scoundrels!
Shakthi!
6 missed calls 4 text messages from Rupa
AiyaiyO!
Is the forest feeling good?
Sorry, Rupa Just forgive me this once
Stop it
How long will you say this? You even forgot my birthday?
Should I forgive all that you do just because I love you?
What's my hip size, Shakthi? You don't know
My slipper size?
When I proposed to you what color dress was I wearing?
I don't know, Rupa
Close your eyes for a minute
What color dress am I in now?
Let's break up, Shakthi
Yes, let's split
What did I ask that was so wrong?
I just behaved like all other girls
I have lots of wishes
You should press against me to figure out who is taller?
You should pinch my waist
I should feel shy and you should appreciate it
Unexpectedly hug me
Surprise me Indulge me
...and much more
Okay, Rupa, just forgive me this once
- I'll try to- - No, Shakthi
No...you can't change
This is you! I've made up my mind
Let's call it off
It's not something we've solved today
It's a lifelong issue
Let's split Good for both of us
In a week's time I'm leaving for Bangkok
My whole family is settling down there
No more meetings No reconsideration
No phone calls Nothing
I'll delete your number from my phone right now
Ditto to our memories Good bye, Shakthi
Rupa
Right decision Whatever you said is true
I don't know to love
If I say I changed this minute will you believe me?
Girls remember eveything Boys don't
But that doesn't mean their love is not good enough
Every time they look at their girl friend...
...they'll forget themselves I'm also like that
Your shoe size, color of your dress the day you proposed...no idea at all
If this is why you want to leave me...suit yourself
Only difference between you and me
You keep tabs on everything My love is limitless, don't keep count
If that's what you want, let me at least please you by letting you go
Go, Rupa
Shakthi...wake up
What?
Rupa has sent you something Get up, da
Okay, go
What? Do you intend waking up now or not?
Why are you hassling him, di? Let him sleep peacefully
Keep quiet, ma Rupa has couriered this for him
For the past 3 months only I know what misery he went through
Shakthi, will you get up? Why is he being so impossible?
- Morning - Good afternoon, son
Ma, coffee
Shall I open it for you? Bharathi, another coffee for me
Why are you ignoring this? Why can't you open it?
I can guess what's in it
I'm marrying some rich guy I had no other choice
'Don't attend my wedding' That's what she'd have said
Why don't you just open it?
What's wrong with both of you? Why should he read it?
She ditched my son and coolly walked away
My son won't! Shakthi, don't read it, da
As if my son can't get a better girl!
She'll act pricey He should lick her feet!
You don't I want to read it
I've made up my mind Let's call it off
What did I ask that was so wrong?
I just behaved like all other girls
What has she written?
She can't forget your son it seems
She misses him tons and gallons it seems
She has sent him a flight ticket to Bangkok
Aiyo! Mom, this is not my 1st trip to Bangkok
I've not yet checked in
I'm not some small kid I'll take care, mom
After I land, I'll call you
1 bottle water, please
- Me too, 1 bottle water - Okay, sir
- Sir, water? - I don't want
What's your problem? You've been following me
Do you want me to call the police?
Aiyaiyo! Huh...this is my 1st time
1st time doing what? Following girls?
- Airport...flight - So?
I heard you say you are flying to Bangkok
I thought I could follow you and board the plane
- Are you in 4th grade?! - Science graduate
Passport?
Keep your bag there
Let this be your hand baggage
- Coffee? - Sure
- We'll miss our flight - We can take the next one
Excuse me Your order please
2 coffees
Oh crap! It's 10:30 Where's your phone?
Dial this number for me, urgent
4555 0428
Got the line?
- Busy - Try once more
- It's ringing - Give me
Hello Suryan F.M?
Kadi Bhaskar?
Aiyo! Oh my God!
I don't believe this I got you on the line
Do you know I don't sleep without hearing your jokes?
Let me tell you a 'damp squib' joke
You can eat Pongal on Deepavali (festival of lights)
But you can't eat Deepavali on Pongal (farmers' day)
How is my 'damp squib' joke?
I want Boom Boom robot, da' song from Enthiran, will you play it for me?
I wish to dedicate this song to my friend Suchitha, Raj, Geetha
From T.Nagar Saroja, Mukul and...
- What's your name? - Shakthi
Okay, to Shakthi as well
Thank you so much
- Ma'am, coffee? - Can you get me some salt
Salt?
Why? Don't you mix salt in your coffee? I do
Please get it for me
He got scared I think, no?
His coffee shop is frequented by 200 to 300 people daily
How will he be able to remember me?
That's why I must be different for him not to forget me
Didn't you say your name was Shakthi?
My name is Maya
They are announcing our names now
Oh crap!
- Chennai? - No, Ooty
Is this your holiday trip?
Going to see my girl friend Her name is Rupa
Interesting! Love, huh?
Internet love?
We met, spoke, dated
Then how is it, she's there
And you are here...?
She broke up saying I don't know to woo her!
Now she herself has sent me a ticket to visit her
- They serve drinks in a flight? - Allowed only in international flights
What do you want to have, sir?
Water
Thank you
Nothing, thank you
Don't you drink?
I do...but there are so many girls on board
Look over there
Is it wrong if girls drink?
Cha...cha...like ladies' special bus and queue
...soon Govt. will segregate A wine shop also for ladies!
What do you do in Ooty?
Trekking, I take people around the forest
You went around the forest and forgot your girl friend
That's the reason she bid you good bye, no?
More or less
She kept badgering me about her slipper size and hip size
I said, 'I don't know' She asked me to close my eyes
I did, she asked me, 'what is the color of my dress now'?
I said 'I don't know' She said 'let's break up'
What went on in your head when she asked you this?
I knew love is blind, that day I realized its color blind too!
Enough of my story
I'm sure you must have been in love?
If I denied it, would you ditch your girl and take me?!
Just kidding, okay?
I wouldn't call it an affair Not serious, just a crush
6 years back
Girls generally flip for guys who play the guitar
His name was Joshua
Very smart, he'd play my favorite songs for me
It stopped there without blossoming into love
Now I have no time to fall in love
I hold an admin post In Hyatt, Bangkok
Good pay
I intend choosing a guy...
...who doesn't booze and settle down for good
Very tough to find a guy who doesn't drink and...
...a girl who doesn't fight!
My bad influence, you have also started talking like me!
Where are you meeting your girl?
Buddha temple Thai time 10: 00 A.M
What gift have you got her?
She won't expect anything from me
Maya, where are we going now?
- Shopping! - What?!
But Rupa will be waiting for me
We'll be there 10 minutes ahead of your meeting time
Just relax
- Like this? - Good
- This? - Super
- How's this? - Nice
How does Rupa look?
Fair, chic and like an angel, am I right?
I don't know about the angel part but she looks beautiful and...
...talks even more beautifully
Talk about what?
Plenty, she'll bug me to change myself
She'll expect me to profess my love every time we meet
She'll want me to compliment her looks
And will you?
If I had, it would've been smooth sailing, no?
When I'm with her, I should not get any call from anyone
If I do, she'd plague me with questions, I'd be dead meat!!
Won't you get bugged?
At that time, yes
But later when I think about it I'll feel she's justified
You love her deeply, right?
What's all this?
All this is for your girl friend
Doesn't matter whether you give something new or what she has
It's the thought that counts!
But why did you spend?
If you are not comfortable you can pay me back
Just Rs10,000
Who proposed first? You or Rupa?
She had come to the forest on a trekking trip along with...
...a large group
I didn't single her out specifically But she was seeing only me!!
She wanted a few minutes alone with me on the last day
She asked me who I was? I replied, 'Shakthi'
She asked me who she was I said 'I have no clue'
She said, 'don't say you don't know
I'm your girl friend' and she left!!
That's beautiful
See, you are a beautiful girl and we are in a lovely place
We are chatting but still Rupa is sharing her thoughts
...smiling, talking to me Only I can see her
"Beauty so bountiful Her eyes so beautiful"
"She is second to none...bewitching"
"Beauty so blissful Her speech so soulful"
"Her breath that burns...breathtaking"
"Beauty so bountiful Her eyes so beautiful"
"She is 2nd to none...bewitching"
"Beauty so blissful Her speech so soulful"
"Her breath that burns...breathtaking"
"Her gait so graceful Her steps so gleeful"
"So hot blushful her dress so beautiful"
"Aiyaiyo! Her walk so chic She's a work of art-hot chick!"
"Aiyaiyo! Maybe sugarcoated Aiyo! Her anatomy is anointed"
"Beauty so glad-full Beauty so gaze-full"
"From which dainty flower did this honey shower?"
"So beautifully astounding her lips always responding"
"Like the sky at dusk orange-full her cheeks blush so bashful"
"Her waist so less delightful nevertheless"
"Look up a little careful sex appeal so sinful!"
"God created classical poetry I'm wordless in my gallantry"
"Like a wild waterfall waves-excess cascade anywise her tresses"
"With her eyes spiraling casting a net tantalizing"
"Seizing the moment soulful so beautiful"
"Pearl white teeth gleaming Perfectly appealing"
"Standing aside and thoughtful something else is beautiful"
"God created classical poetry I'm wordless in my chivalry"
This is my visiting card Call me when you are free
I'd like to meet Rupa
No, Maya
I'm meeting her after 3 months
If she knows I came here sharing a flight with a girl...
...she'll break up again with me!
Probably, let's see
If you are destined to see...we'll see!
It's 6 'o' clock
Why are you still sitting here
Not gone home?
Who are you? I need to check you
Where are you from?
What are you doing here? Show me your ID?
What's in your bag?
- It's just my dress and- - Just move
- Are you from India? - Yes sir, I'm from Tamilnadu
- What's your name? - Shakthi, sir
- Home town? - Ooty
Show me your passport Don't hesitate
I'm Muthumaran IPS, I'm here for Mafia control special training
Show me your passport
We have cameras scrutinizing 24/7 I've been watching you from morning
- Why Are you here? - I was asked to wait here, sir
Who?
Love...?
Give me her number I'll call her
I don't know, sir
- Address - I don't know that either, sir
She asked me to come But she will come, sir
- Have you eaten? - Not hungry, sir
Where are you staying?
I'll wait here, sir
When she hasn't come till now you really think she will?
In this city you can't sleep on the road!
You want to stay in my place or sleep in the cell?
Here you go...1 peg you'll remember your girl friend
1 more, you'll start suspecting her
Ice?
3 pegs and you will remember another girl!
4 pegs and you'll sleep like a log
It's your call how many pegs you want!
The more I drink my faith in her multiplies
I think you've never been in love
Just out of curiosity
What will you do if she doesn't turn up?
I didn't come here based on the ticket she sent me
We've dated for 3 years
- I trust her - I pray for that
Wait for her
Otherwise both me and my house will wait for you
Not just tomorrow
Till you get your Rupa you can stay here
You belong to my state This is the least I can do
Cheers to your love, young man
Welcome to Bangkok
Do you know my favorite dialog from Tamil cinema?
Go ahead and have a ball, boss These girls always let you down!
How much longer do you intend waiting?
- Till I die, sir - Don't...you'll lose your life then!
Someone who specified time and venue for you to wait...
...why didn't she give you her address and phone number?
Whichever corner of the world you maybe...
...she should come searching for you
If her love is true, she will
Sir, can you confirm my return ticket?
In 2 days time? I'll confirm it
Go around Bangkok
You might come across your girl friend...
...who asked you to come and she didn't come!
What? Be happy Don't worry, smile
Here...all the best
You could've taken my number
Okay, so what have you decided?
My ticket is confirmed, Maya I'll go back home in 2 days
But I don't know why she did this to me
You've decided she won't come...ever?
I've made up my mind to go back home
Till then do you want to stay in my apartment?
No, Maya
I know Muthumaran He's an inspector here
I'm staying with him I'm okay, Maya
This is my visiting card It has my number also
Call when free We can meet up for dinner
Don't keep thinking of this
I could spend the whole day with you
But...I'm on duty
My friends are waiting for me So...I should leave
It's okay, you go
What will you do?
Simply...sight see
Let's see
Okay, Shakthi
Call me, bye
Sir, don't step out without security
- Please! - Do you speak Tamil?
What's happened to you, sir? You are still in a state of shock
Relax
Who are you? Why should you protect me?
I'm your personal assistant, sir
- Manohar! - My P.A?!
- They were Daniel's men - Who is Daniel, sir?
No problem, sir Everything is taken care
Please, sir
Come in, sir
Freshen up
In an hour's time, you have a business meeting with Moti
- I need to talk to you - Tell me, sir
What did you say your name was?
Are you alright?
- Tell me, please - Manohar, sir
- You call me Mano - Listen Mr Manohar
I've never set eyes on you before
I'm new to this place
This is a case of mistaken identity
Sir, are you saying you are not Shakthi?
Come on, sir!
I am Shakthi, but not the Shakthi you think I am
You can say what you want
You've imprinted Shakthi group of companies as a brand name globally
Besides that you make a profit of Rs 45 billion per annum!
Today you deny being Shakthi for some strange reason
The world won't believe Neither will I
Yov! Don't you get what I'm saying?
- Sir? - Sorry
Please don't apologize to me
Come here, Mano
Shakthi infotech Shakthi group of companies
- What was the other name? - Shakthi group of hotels
Manohar, I'm completely clueless
I'm from Ooty My dad is a forest ranger
To be honest I don't even own a house
Look at my clothes
Will your Shakthi be even seen dead like this?
That's what puzzles me, sir
Take a look at my passport
Then why is the ordinary Shakthi from Ooty globe trotting to...
...Australia, New Zealand, U.S?
It's getting late Let's go, sir
I'm here, sir Relax
We are honored by your partnership in our business
I can't understand what they are saying
We request you to accept this treat on our behalf
- Sir, open the bottle - Why should I...?
Sir, can I come with you?
Can I pee in peace?
Chill, guys
Hello...Maya?
Hey! Shakthi You are looking good today
Someone's trying to kill me
Whaat?
One guy says I'm a multi millionaire
He takes me to some random business meeting
It's a nightmare, Maya
Don't blabber, Shakthi?
Why did you leave halfway, like that, sir?
Please understand, sir
You are not supposed to be alone
You have a threat
If you want to step out let me know
Take us to the nearby police station
Sure Come
I'll talk to you later
Good morning Welcome, sir
I'm surprised to see you here, sir
Please take a seat, sir
How can I be of assistance to you?
People of Thailand are proud of you, sir
I read an article about you this morning, sir
A preferred client like you holding an account in our bank
...is an honor to us
Sign here, Shakthi
- Who are you?! - Maya...?
I won't buy your fibs and stories any longer
Tell me who you are
Security all around you Your face in the newspaper
Thailand magazine has a cover story on you
A bank balance an ordinary man can't even dream of!!!
Why are you pretending, Shakthi?
Are you a terrorist?
Mafia? CIA? Under-cover sop
Tell me, Shakthi Who are you?
I don't know, Maya I don't know who I am!
If I stay here one day longer I think I'll begin to doubt myself
If you also don't believe me you can leave me right now
Even your signature matches How will you explain that?
There's some hide and seek happening around me
I can't think of anything else
It's up to you if you want to believe me or not!
2 people can resemble each other, that's possible
2 people can even share the same name
Tough but plausible
But 2 random people with the same signature...?!
Ahhhhhhh! Feels like my head will explode!
May be you forgot your past and lost...your memory-
Are you branding me a lunatic?
Let's look at it this way
You can never dream of a luxurious life like this ever
Live it up, enjoy till the original Shakthi turns up
Then apologize and move on, Shakthi
- Why get worked up about this? - I can't behave like that
Shakthi, you are not deceiving anyone
I know you are not that kind of a person
How many ever times you disown this...
...no one is willing to believe you
After taking away something precious from you...
...why can't you think, God is blessing you with this royal life?
Shakthi, everything will be fine, just relax
I'm leaving now Call me if you need anything
Bye
Shakthi, did you think we were fools?
We'll find you wherever you may hide
Come with us now
How dare you, Shakthi Why are you not paying me?
I want the $10 million you agreed to pay me
I killed as per your order
Sir, I am not Shakthi
- You are not Shakthi? - No!
He is not Shakthi it seems We must believe him it seems
I need my money
In the next 24 hours Did you get that?
I warned not to step out alone Security is very important, sir
Are you okay?
Sir...sir?
You are in a trap Get out of here SOON
Sir?
There's no water in my washroom
Yeah, I'll check
Sir?
You are in a trap was written on it, Maya
Don't know who...why...zilch!
I'm in danger every minute I'm here
Let me go back Drop me at the airport
- Thank you, Maya - Okay, bye
Stop...stop it
I've already warned you not to try tricks with him
How dare you ignore my orders
Talk to Daniel, not us We work as per his orders
If you trouble him in anyway I'll shoot all of you
Sir, you are a V.I.P If you have any problems...
...the department is ready to help you 24 / 7, right?
You heard what he said about helping you 24 / 7, right?
I thought if I leave this city I'll be free of all this
But if I do so, the problem that chased me will start hounding you!
Who is this Shakthi that cops and gangsters believe, Maya?
I must get into his shoes Only then we can get to the truth
Do you have to go in?
The more I run this world will chase me
You leave
Excuse me, sir May I help you?
I am going to my room
Excuse me Your room number, please?
1701
- Your name, sir? - Shakthi
No one in name Shakthi staying in that room
Whaaaat?!
Nobody staying in that room
Can you check? I am Shakthi
1701
Please, sir Go out
Call my secretary, Manohar
Get out!!
I stayed in this hotel for 2 days
Leave me, I say
I am Shakthi I stayed in this hotel for 2 days
Throw him out
Welcome to Bangkok!
Cheers to that

Who can be my enemy here, Maya?
No idea But what to do, Shakthi?
Now that things have fallen into place...
...you go back home
It's a smoke screen to make us think its all alright
Ping pong Ping pong
Nice beautiful girls!
Manohar, sir!
Mmmuah...love you
You have a threat

Move...move
Who the hell are you, da? Why is my life this topsy turvy?
I'm caught
I got caught red handed!!
What do you want to know?
Who are you?
What can you do even if you know?
You can't escape
Even if I want to tell you, I'll die
Even if I want to tell, they'll kill me
They'll kill me
Tell me...clearly
- Where is he? - Over there
There...there...there
They'll be in all the directions you are searching now
Have you seen God? Can you get close to Him?
You cannot I've myself seen only once
They are ultimate
They are GOD!
Who is that God, da?
Tell me...who is that God?
Tell me...tell me, you pimp
Do you want to know?
He's not 1 person They are 2 of them
Both of you come here
Wash his face
Gawwwwd!
What happened, Shakthi?
They've changed the dead body, Maya
He is a drug peddler How do you know him?
Tell me how you know him You are under arrest
Sir, please
Can you please call someone who knows my language?
Tell me, why did you kill him?
I've never set eyes on him
Your fingerprints on a random stranger you've never even met!
That's what this report says What do you have to say for this?
Anything can happen in this city, sir
My signature matches in the bank
My passport claims I've visited 18 countries!
Muthumaran a police officer like you
He asked me to sightsee and he'd meet me later that night
I go back and he has vanished into thin air, sir
My photo on the cover page of an international trade magazine
Guards around me P.A under my beck and call
That P.A was the flesh trader
I think you need immediate counseling
Sir...?!
Get him a psychiatrist
Mr Joseph Kurian is here
- Hi Ram! - Hello, sir
- How are you? - Fine, sir
I'm Joseph Kurian
High command official in the Indian embassy
Maya's well wisher No worries
Completed all formalities
- Can I take him? - Yeah, sure
Shakthi, you'll be fine Kurian is like a dad to me
Was it a crime to come here in search of my girl friend?
Shakthi, come Sign here
- Thank you so much, uncle - It's okay, dear
You won't have any more hassles
For a few more days don't go out anywhere
You'll be alright
Shakthi...Shakthi What's wrong?
This won't be a real police station
An hour later if you come here all this would have changed
Shakthi, are you out of your mind?
All this is real Can't you see?
No, Maya
Sir, where did you say you are working?
Indian Embassy
Show me your I.D., sir
Shakthi, what are you doing?
- No, Maya, I need to see it - It's okay, dear
I'm sorry, sir
- I'm so sorry, uncle - Is he okay?
You shouldn't have insulted him like that, Shakthi
You won't get angry when they check Abdul Kalam...
...at the airport in America! This query of mine annoys you!
Why do you get worked up?
I'm not worked up I am confused
I just can't believe this
How are you, Rupa?
Good, how are you?
Same as ever, oblivious of your slipper size and hip size
Same old Shakthi
I said that in a fit of anger
But I knew you'd come looking for me
I didn't think you'd make me search for you like this
Do you know how many days I waited for you?
Why didn't you come to meet me?
I didn't want to visit India again
- But that's why I am here! - How would I know that, Shakthi?
You won't...anything wrong, Rupa?
You sent me the ticket and now you are acting like you are clueless?
What...ticket...I don't get you
Didn't you send me a ticket asking me to come to Bangkok?
What's wrong with you, Shakthi?
As soon as we broke up I put a lid to all that I felt for you
But I knew you won't do the same
That you'd wait for me and hunt for me
My inner soul sensed this
That's what has happened now
Then this letter and ticket I got through courier?
I didn't write this at all
Maybe you are living in some imaginary world
Consult a psychiatrist
Okay, Shakthi Please move on with your life
Don't waste your life pinning your hopes on me
All the best
I thought all this conspiracy was after I landed here in Bangkok
But this has begun in Ooty itself Who are they, Maya?
He called those 2 'Gods' before he got shot
Enough, Shakthi
Are you asking me to shut up?
I'm asking you to stop drinking
No, Maya I must drink
Your 1st time love now died a 2nd time
No, Maya
1st time it was lost Now that love is dead
Rupa doesn't deserve you
You'll find your Miss Right and you'll be alright
- Another girl? - Yes, she'll come
Shakthi, please stop it
Try losing your love You'll also want to drink
Excuse me
What are you doing now, Maya?
You asked me to drink after losing out in love
So what?
Yes, Shakthi
I'm also sailing in the same boat
I don't get you?
I don't know if it's the right moment to tell you this
But I am in love with you, Shakthi
You haven't responded to my words, Shakthi
Those are precious words, Maya
Don't waste them feeling bad about a situation
These are words I've not wasted till now, Shakthi
You don't trash them, please
1st time I saw you, I thought you were a faithful lover
I wanted to support your love
Thanks for having been there for me
But don't mistake my gratitude for love
I can't digest another failure, Maya
Like how you waited for Rupa I'll be waiting for you
Repeat
Last one, please!

- Maya...what's this? - Is it wrong?!
It's not wrong
Maya, please
I'm going back home today
Why?
The reason I came here no longer exists
Why should I stay?
Whatever I said yesterday...?
I told you my decision right then, no, Maya?
I know I'm in your heart
Shakthi, please understand my feelings
- Hello, uncle - Hi Maya!
- Hi Shakthi - Hello, sir
- I'm really sorry - For what?
- For doubting you yesterday - That's okay, man
Sir, can I get a ticket to go back to Chennai?
- Sure - You are not leaving today
Sir, somehow please try to arrange one for me
Are you even listening to me?
I feel its best I fly back
- Shakthi is correct - Thanks, sir
You don't worry about your ticket, man
I'll take care of that
Uncle, I want to talk to you in private
Yes, Maya
- I love Shakthi - What's wrong with you?
Do you want to be saddled with a lunatic lifelong?
You just shut up, okay?
Do you really have to go, Shakthi?
Yes
Can I come up to the airport?
Uncle is coming with me to send me off, right?
Sir...sir, stop the car
Shakthi...?
Shakthi...!
- What happened, Shakthi? - They've kidnapped Maya, sir
Go and start the car, sir
Drive faster, sir
I handled such an incident earlier also
Where are we going, sir?
Some issues need to be dealt with legally
Others can be solved illegally only
We'll be meeting Jayaraj A true Tamilian
He knows all the unsavory characters in Bangkok now
Kidnap case?
Yeah, they've kidnapped her This is the 2nd attempt
He prevented them the previous time
How do you know it is the same kidnapping group?
I remember their faces
What number in Sukhumvit?
Twenty
I'll get information in the next 5 minutes
Hello...!
You can't save her Forget her
The ring leader is Mali
Crap!
You know about Mali, I don't need to tell you, so leave now
What are you saying, sir?
Who is Mali, sir? Let's leave this place
You claimed Maya was like a daughter to you
I can't explain Let's go outside first
Son, don't under estimate Mali You'll be minus your life if you do!
Please forget her
In the next few days they might auction her
She'll go to the highest bidder
Wait, sir Give me his address
I told you You can leave
I want the address, sir
Tell him You know the address
Drive faster, please sir
I brought you here in a fool hardy way
Mali isn't the man that you think he is
Please under-
Where is Mali?
Maya...?!
I'll be in this same city with this same girl
When you muster courage try your luck again!
Tell him in the language he can understand, sir
Let's go, Maya
Did you see Mali's expression?
Look at his face, man He looks so funny
Welcome to Bangkok
Hi Maran
Let's go
- Maran? - Sir?
Everyone other than Mali is here, right?
Mali hasn't come He's still in the hospital
Okay, you must all be wondering why I killed Manohar
I had no choice but to kill him that day
We have invested crores and crores in this game
You got it?
Sir, our game is over
May I know when our next game is?
Next game?
Next game!
Next game!!
This game hasn't finished as yet
It juuuust started
Okay, okay friends
We intend introducing to you this game's key player
She is Maya Key player of the game
Maya knows all of you But you don't know her
She's something special
You made it, Maya Thank you
- It's my job - Maya...are you alright?
That usual glow in your face seems to be missing
Nothing...I'm just a bit tired
What do you think?
That Shakthi is really in love with you?
Of course For sure!
That's good
But Rupa's face hasn't fully erased from his mind's eye
And when he saved me, he squeezed my hand so hard
...it still hurts That's love
It was like he was saying 'she is only for me'
You are right We noticed that too
- But Rupa came all of a sudden - Twist! A big twist even for us!
We thought the whole game would be lost then...!
But you made a good move after that
You asked me to make Shakthi fall in love with me and I did
So...I think I've done my work Can I leave now?
We must never predict heads or tails...
...when we toss the coin We should get what we want
If you go, who'll play the rest?
So what should I do now?
You go home We'll send for you
Go
That's it
Sorry...sorry Coffee
We're going to India tomorrow
- Why? - To get married!
Hey!
Here
Muah!
I don't know if Rupa has ever kissed you or not
If she has, then try and forget it
Store only my kiss in your memory
- Oh, I'm so sorry - That's okay
- Ouch! - What happened?
- Fell into my eye - You are okay?
Game starts now!
Who's this?
- Is Maya in? - Maya...?
Shakthi, who is it?
Hey Maya! Rohit!
How are you, Maya? So long since I saw you
What happened to your eye?
I'm fine, I'm fine Excuse me, I'll come back
Cool
Maya will call now, partner
Right...well...!
Who is this Rohit?
A new character in the game we are introducing
- Who is this guy in the game? - He's your boyfriend, Maya
I've told Shakthi he's the 1st guy that I've ever fallen in love with
All girls start their relationship with that very same lie
Just play the game
- When did you come, Rohit? - Hey...just landed
- So...how are you? - All good...everything is fine
- Want to eat something? - Anything you offer
If you can't find anything give yourself...I'll eat
I have some work to do I'll come back later, Maya
What work, Shakthi?
I'll come back later, Maya
Let him go! He says he has work to do, no?
- Look at that - That's a good one, Rohit
Maya...can I get some coffee?
I'll get it
Maya...to get attention
...do you still drink your coffee with salt?
That's why I must be different for him not to forget me
Shakthi's trust in Maya will slowly dwindle down
- Shakthi, Where are you going? - I told you...I'm going out
Hey! Come...come...man
Hey...hey...hey Relax, dude
Let's be friends We're friends, okay?
What did you say your name was?
- Shakthi - Yes, Shakthi
- Maya, Who is this Shakthi? - Who as in...?
Your relationship with him?
Friend
Friend means boyfriend?
Then who am I? Ex-boyfriend?
Shakthi...Shakthi
Did she tell you where we first met?
Watch it, partner
At the airport Chennai International Airport
She helped me with boarding immigration and security!
Not just that...she taught me how to go about dating a girl
She's amazing, man
Give me the phone, partner
You seem tensed
Are you really in love with Shakthi?
No
Then? Why are you crying?
I came into this game because of necessity...not for luxury
Just for today play this game properly
I can't do this
You must play this game You have no choice
I said go
Why is she getting lovey dovey for?
Maya? What happened?
You know how long it's been since I saw you?
I missed you so much I love you, Maya
Love you...!
- He'll murder...Maya - No way, partner
Let's watch the game, partner
Hi, Rohit Superb
No...no Don't get angry
More...more Get more angry
No...no
- Yes...yes! - Oh crap!
That's what I expected
Come on Do something!
Don't you have any sense?
Won't you knock and then come in?
Hey! Shakthi? What happened?
Relax, Shakthi
Why all this? Listen to me
No, no I can't take this
Shakthi, Shakthi Listen to me
We are friends, right!
Are you mad? Are you crazy?
Sorry
What, partner?
He will not kill! I'm telling you!
Shakthi...no Put it down
Don't
- Come on, come on, Shakthi - No, Shakthi
Kill Maya
- Stop! - No...go!
How does a random guy know what you and I spoke in private?
Shakthi...please
- Don't do it! - Do something!
Go...go...go
Don't Shakthi
I didn't tell you I loved you...
...because I still felt guilty about saying the same to Rupa
How are you able to say it?
- Don't take the wrong decision - How were you able to go it, Maya?
Shakthi...trust me, please
- Come, come - Relax, relax
How were you...able to do it?
Don't talk Stab her
Oh crap!
How were you...able to do it?
Gangnam style Gangnam style
You trust me, Shakthi?
Everything I told you was the truth
Gangnam style Gangnam style
Please believe me...please
Lies
Lies...lies!
My turn Indian style!
Lies
You girls speak like this and kill us boys!
Do you know what love is?
Do you know what parting is?
Do you know what pain that causes?
Come on
Do you know it?
Answer me
- Don't talk! - Do you know?
Get lost Don't look at me again
Maya? Maya...?
What happened, Maya?
- Wake up, Maya - No...no, Maya
Gone!
Yes! She's gone
No...no...nope
Maya! Please get up
Maya, you are dead
Please, Maya Wake up!
Oh crap!
I won the game I won the bet
Maya, I'm sorry, Maya I'm sorry...sorry
Maya, please wake up
Yes...yes...yes I won the bet!
Muah...! I WON THE BET
In this mundane life of being born, living and dying
...we both did not believe in it
Until we die, we must live life to the fullest
I am John Frederick
My partner is Rajesh Arunachalam
Our friendship began when we were 8 years old
Our fathers were business partners
A life without any struggle for money
Yay! I won the game We'll play 1 more game?
What happened?
What happened to you, dear?
It seems this is your dad's 3rd attack
My dad will survive
The doctor thinks it will be touch and go
My dad will survive!
- Bet? - Bet
Aiyo! Oh no! You've left me and gone
More than my friend's dad dying I was glad I won the bet
We grew together and won together
JR Associates
There's no line of business that didn't have out footprints
We've played a lot!
There aren't any games we have ignored
Game is our breath!
Once we even bet on our own lives
What, partner? You think we'll die?
I'm saying we won't die
Want to bet? You want a game?
Careful
Sir! Sir! Please wear the mask!
- Go...go - Are you okay, sir?
We thought of ourselves as Gods that day
Gambling...racing Casino...match fixing
All of this bores me, partner Let's try something different
I don't understand
Let's play with humans Turn into Gods
That'll be very interesting
Is it possible?
To randomly choose someone was my plan
A middle class girl was our 1st target
We put money in her path She picked it up
Good, Rohit
We got her caught by the police
She was ashamed
She was the talk of the town Not in pride but in disgrace
My partner said she'd kill herself
I said she'd fight back My partner won
Partner...I didn't get it when you prophesied!!
But your idea was soooooooper!
Whomever we wanted to play in our game...
...we started picking people randomly
All the games had different concepts
We change a street rat into a billionaire cat
We also reduced a billionaire to a begger
Some people went mad Some people died
They all took their own decisions in the end
I won some My partner won some
Including both our wives the world called us psycho!
But we thought we were God
I had been to Ooty on a business trip
Shakthi was our next target in our interesting lives
I was eager to know how he'd react next
I followed him
Partner?
You said you were fed up of playing this game with the Thais
I found a Thamizh guy He's our next target
He has already lost one love
He must fall in love again But with another girl
He has already lost one love He won't love again, partner
No...no, 2nd love will strike more easily than the first
We'll make it happen
A girl like an angel He'll go mad about her beauty
Then there'll come a point when he can't live without her
Then...she'll throw him too
I got it, partner
If a guy loses a love, then gets another one...
...and loses that love as well how will he react, partner?
He'll kill that girl
No way, partner He's a nice guy
He'll forgive her
Are you...game?
Then we thought about the 'angel' to entice him with
Maya was our answer
They say we have to take mom to the US for treatment
It will cost more than 15 lakhs
There's no other way to save her I don't know what to do, uncle
We can find answers to all of life's questions
We can send her to the U.S
We can spend not 15 but even 20 lakhs
We can save your mom
But...
You must listen to what I say
What...I don't understand, uncle
We made her understand
Operation expenses have been taken care of
We are organizing your mother's U.S trip
That was the 1st scene we wrote for our play
Rupa has couriered a package for you
Shakthi is standing behind you now
All the best, Maya
I am Muthumaran IPS
We have cameras scrutinizing here 24/7
He has escaped
That girl won't be found
He is on his way to see Mali
I need my money
These were all our players It happened according to our plan
The result was in my favor
I won the game! Yes! I won that game!
"In the king's garden, a rose bush King! Hug the rose and ambush!"

"Just play on Have fun"
"Enjoy the game"
What, partner?
Are you looking for our next victim?
This is business, partner
2 days ago remember the agreement we signed
...in Hong Kong? That has come through
I want to see Shakthi's face now, partner
I asked them to finish his story He's probably dead by now
Partner? Partner?
- What happened? - Get up
Partner...?
- Where...are we? - I don't know
Where did you land us in your drunken state?
Not drunken I saw Maya alive
What?
I swear I saw her! With my own eyes
Are you kidding?
Are you still drunk?
She was standing in front of the car
Only because I braked suddenly the car toppled over
I saw her with my own eyes
We saw her die with our own eyes?!
Something's wrong
We lost consciousness
How did we end up here after the accident?
Let's find out 1st where are we now
Isn't this our friend Alex's house?
- No - No?
Felix's house Mercedes Benz dealer
No
...leading business partners John Fredrick and Rajesh Arunachalam
...were found dead last night in a car accident
Forensic says the car was overspeeding and lost control
Both their families and share holders were shocked by the demise of...
...John Fredrick and Rajesh Arunachalam
Almost every leading business people are present at the funeral taking place'
...at the Bangkok hotel'
They are announcing our funeral!
What's happening, partner?
Partner! Girija! Your wife, partner!
What the hell is happening?
Right now we are in the burial ceremony of John and Rajesh
John's wife Linda is extremly shocked...
...and they were married just 5 months ago
Rajesh had got 2 kids
The sudden death of these 2 businessman is a shock for the whole world
Their incredible service made their brand name very...
- Shut up! - Why should I Shut up?
- Shut up! - You're not listening to me!
They've fixed a camera
They've fixed cameras everywhere, just like we did
Give me your phone
It's not on me
Let's get the hell out of here
Run...run...run
What place is this?
What do we do now?
We must tell everyone we are alive
This is Maya's doing She's playing tricks on us
I'm very sure this is Maya, partner
You've been obsessing about Maya ever since she died
You've lost it!
Partner! It's Maya...it's Maya!
- You are going mad - I'm sure it's Maya
Your game is not over
Partner...I told you
See? She's standing there Now do you believe me?
Maya?
So you are not dead yet?
You don't understand what's happening
What happened yesterday? What's happening today?
It's all confusing, right?
You're in the same situation
...that you put all those other people through
Why are you talking to her?
You didn't expect me, right?
Using both you as pawn in retaliation this is my game, da
You scared me I got scared
You let me run I ran
You confused me I was confused
You made me go in circles
I didn't I stood!
From dawn till dusk an ordinary man toils...
...dies to earn a livelihood
An honest living and that's a past-time to you?
It's not a game It's a disease!
I knew something was wrong with this country the next day I was here
You confused me in a lot of ways
You saw me scared
But you didn't see me wrangle out of your mess
Partner, we made a big mistake
We played this game with the help of a girl
As far as the world knows you died yesterday
While I'm talking to you here...
...they are blowing a conch for your funeral!
Bidding you farewell
Only you can change bodies?
Hey! Muthu!
Muthumaran
Come on, man kill them
You are blowing the conch of death?
You're trying to scare me?
You wanted to kill us?
Kill him!
Muthumaran, kill him
Come on Kill him
Kill him, man
Muthu
Partner? What are they-
We were hoping someone would save us one day
But you went and got caught with that man yourself
But I'm in love with you, Shakthi
You are aware of only Maya and me going to the hotel
I met Muthumaran and Kurian that day also
Relax, Shakthi
They briefed me about you both
Nothing you've seen and no one you've met is real here
Including Maya
I knew I could not come anywhere near you both
That girl who warned you in the lift? She was made to, by Maya
I decided to play my game your way
You do what I say from now on
Even Maya should not know about this
As far as you are both concerned Maya died that day
And then you don't know what happened
You killed Manohar that day because you needed to
Yesterday, you tried to kill Maya too
Tomorrow you might kill us all
How long do we live in fear like this?
No...no
Enough of this hellish, horrible, difficult existence that we've lived
Shakthi Take Maya and go
Finally we'll get rid of our bottled up anger
- No...no - We're not doing this just for us 4
There are 400 others like us
Shakthi! Take Maya and leave
No...no
Shakthi
Guys...don't
We'll give you whatever you want
Listen to us
Game is over!
Life to some is a curse To me it was...war!
