- [crowd cheering]
- [crowd chanting] Arjun! Arjun!
[man] Life is like a game.
Its beauty lies in the rules.
Rule one, and probably
the only rule.
You have to enter the field and
play. You don't have a choice.
[crowd cheering]
The moment you understand
this, your test begins.
[dramatic music playing]
[eerie music playing]
[cheering fades]
[news reporter] One last test
match in the series of Chennai
[bat thuds]
[woman on TV] Arjun Venkatraman's
form is on everyone's mind.
Dada! How could
you lose so badly?
If you would've played aggressively,
we would have definitely won the match.
- Yeah right, like you're a big coach.
- [mobile phone rings]
Get going. You're gonna
be late for school.
[phone continues ringing]
[man 1 rejects call]
[news report continues
indistinctly]
What's wrong?
Why didn't you stay at
the hotel with the team?
[tense music playing]
If you had informed me, I
would have sent the car.
[woman on TV] The
captain is not in favour
of the star player's
presence in the team anymore.
Manoj, you know exactly
what he is like.
Don't argue with him
when he gets here.
Sir...
I've told you what to do.
Now, it's up to you, Manoj.
[Manoj] It's very
important, sir.
[tense music playing]
Good morning, sir. Should
I send an official email
to the team manager
about last night?
[news report continues
indistinctly]
[man 2] Please mute this TV.
It's going on and on since
morning. I'm sick and tired of it.
- [exhales] Okay.
- And for Appa?
Why? Are you planning to
k*ll me or something, huh?
Right, at least that way you
won't have to spend on insulin.
Dada, my birthday is
coming up in two days.
You remember, right?
[Arjun's dad] Why're
you calling him Dada?
Call him Appa. Or he might
forget he is your Appa.
Okay. Appa.
The match is over, Appa.
Look at me.
[clicks tongue] Adi, don't
irritate me. Move aside.
[woman] Arjun.
It's a big day for Adi.
First selection match.
[light, playful music playing]
Good luck, Adi.
Play well, okay? And play fair.
- Thanks, Dada. Bye, Thatha. Bye, Ma.
- [woman] Bye.
Sir, there's an informal committee
meeting at the pavilion caf this evening.
They want you to attend it.
[tense music playing]
[woman on TV] The veteran player
has been struggling for runs,
failing to score a
century in over two years.
[news report continues
indistinctly]
[temple bell rings]
[woman 1] Oh, hello! I let
you take one bucket of water
and now you're taking it
for the whole village!
Don't try to be smart. Okay?
[temple bell rings]
[intro music of news segment]
- [remote thuds]
- [groans]
[man 1 on TV] Now the pressure is
no longer on us. It's on Pakistan.
Madam, I think we need
to give Arjun a chance.
But the question is, will this
be Arjun's last match for India?
[man 2 on TV] It should be! I don't think
he should be playing after this match.
[man 3 on TV] I'm sorry. How can
you just dismiss a legendary...
- Good morning.
- [clicks tongue]
[woman 2 on TV] There's strong opposition
to Arjun playing for India. What do you...
Looks like it's game
over for the legend, huh?
[latch rattles]
[news report continues
indistinctly]
God knows who'll save
test cricket now.
Didn't you say you
didn't wanna talk to me?
[man] You were the one who said no to
biryani and went to bed upset. Not me.
- I wasn't talking to you?
- Correct! You shouldn't be talking to me.
Arjun averages 61.2
in test cricket.
India's most successful
batsman ever!
Successful. Understand?
[news report continues
indistinctly]
It pisses you off when I
talk about your ex-boyfriend?
[romantic music playing]
I've fixed the doctor's appointment
for 6:30 in the evening today.
- Isn't this what the drama's for?
- Not bad! You actually remember.
Of course, I do. You
had your medicine?
[music continues]
Do I get biryani
tonight at least?
- Biryani? Even I want some.
- [laughs]
You're getting late for school.
You should leave. I'll
see you at the clinic.
[news report continues
indistinctly]
Arjun. Schoolmate.
Not ex-boyfriend.
- How are you, Bharani? Long time!
- I'm fine. Thank you.
- Actually, I had gone to Tirupati.
- [woman 2] Okay. Please have something.
Idlis are kept on the table.
- Have some. Okay?
- Okay, okay.
[gasps] Uh, Bharani, the main
door doesn't shut properly.
- Please remind him, okay?
- Yeah, sure. I'll remind him. Bye!
[woman 1] Hey, Kumudha!
I told you to go to the
Putlur Amman Temple on Friday.
- Did you go or not?
- [hesitates]
- I'll make it a point to go this Friday.
- [woman 1] I keep reminding you.
You cannot keep complaining
about not having a baby
and do nothing about it.
I'm only trying to help.
[sombre music playing]
Sara, why aren't you ready
yet? Vivek has been calling me.
- Hold on, I have to show you something.
- [Bharani] Oh, it's here?
Yeah, it's here. I finished the
final assembly just last night.
You spent all that
money on this?
Hey, don't talk to
me like an idiot.
Focus on the bigger picture,
not the expenditure.
It won't just change our lives,
it will change the whole country.
Yeah, whatever. Let's
hurry up and go meet Vivek.
Hey, don't worry about
it. Just sit. Sit down.
[man 4 on TV] All they want
to do is bring him down.
[woman on TV] The curtains will
close on a dramatic test series
between India and Pakistan
at the MA Chidambaram Stadium...
- [man 2] How's the canteen doing, Bharani?
- Uh, it's doing well, sir.
[man 1] Then why haven't you paid
us the interest for nine months?
Sir, we had to buy new
equipment to upgrade the canteen
and we are running
low on funds...
Bloody b*stard!
You sell the canteen to
someone and brazenly lie to us.
What do you think?
I'm a bloody idiot?
- [man 1] Hello.
- Please be respectful.
We have only taken a loan.
Haven't run away with your money.
Hey, just try running away.
Kutty.
[sighs] Saravanan, right?
[ominous music playing]
That scientist who is making
petrol from water? Hmm?
Hydro fuel.
You took money from us
to upgrade your canteen.
But used it to get your project approved
by Industries Secretary, Meiyappan? Hmm?
[tense music continues]
I know exactly where
our money goes.
I keep track.
[man 1] Bhaiya, they are here!
[sighs] Close their account right
now. Make sure you get me the money.
Sir, that Mylapore property?
- Once this project gets approved I...
- [man 2 grunts] Kutty, you know me.
You know I don't do business
with people who lie.
Take care of this.
- Namaste, Dimello.
- [Kutty, in next room] ...playing games?
How are you? Uh, tea, coffee?
Thank you.
Sorry, Dharmesh ji. I
got here a bit early.
No problem, sir. Tell me.
India-Pakistan. Last test match.
There's no bigger game than this
in the entire sporting world.
[Kutty] ...what I'm capable
of! Don't try my patience.
There's a lot of
money to be made here.
- [Kutty] I want my money right now!
- One spot-fixing is worth 500 crores.
There are three players that
our team has identified.
[Kutty continues his threats]
Try to set one of them up.
- I gave you money for the canteen...
- Hey!
Why are you screaming over here?
We can hear you from inside.
You guys leave now.
Sir, they're angry because
I asked about the property.
Sir, we took 25 lakhs.
Now he is asking for 50?
Kutty, money or
property, I don't care.
You brought them here.
You take care of it.
Settle the dues in two days.
[tense music playing]
[indistinct chatter on TV]
[man 1] This guy
is really amazing.
A great player.
- [man 2] Who is great?
- Arjun, sir.
[man 2] He was.
[tense music continues]
- Not anymore.
- [man 3] Good morning, sir.
As per your orders, I spoke
to the Bombay team, sir.
In the last 2 weeks, there
have been four murders, sir.
And one of the victims is the head of
the Chennai betting syndicate, sir.
Dimello's man.
That means they'll need a new
head for the Chennai syndicate.
Dimello will
definitely come here.
- Keep me posted.
- Sure, sir.
[man 4] It will be a
deal worth 50,000 crores.
This test match is going to
be a big test for all of us.
- [crowd cheering]
- [cricket bat taps ground]
["Arena" by Yogi B. playing]
[man] I'm a soldier, sir.
- [song ends]
- [crowd chanting] Arjun! Arjun!
[kids] Come on,
Adi! You can do it!
Come on, Adi!
- [woman claps]
- [indistinct chatter among kids]
Where are you going
to get the money from?
Sara has changed now, Mary.
He has let go of his project.
The canteen is also doing well.
- [Kumudha winces]
- [kid 2] Oh, no!
Okay. I'm leaving now.
After you see the
doctor, give me a call.
- [kid 3] Sir.
- [man] Leave him alone.
- [Arjun] Okay, okay, that's enough.
- Go away! Come on. Go!
- [train horn hooting]
- [train chugging]
[phone rings]
Dada! Dada!
Tell me, Javed sir.
You should also get
out like your father.
You can win this for us!
- [kid 4] You can do it!
- [kids cheering Adi]
- Yay! Wicket!
- [team groaning]
[kids cheering loudly]
- [Arjun clicks tongue]
- [kids continue cheering and celebrating]
Hmm? There's only two
days to go for the test.
What's the purpose
of this meeting?
[kids continue cheering
and celebrating]
Okay. I'll be there.
- [train horn hoots]
- [train chugging]
Hello, Arjun sir.
You haven't come to our
school ground for so long.
Is everything okay?
- I'm fine, Arumugam.
- [grunts]
This place is very
lucky for you.
Now in the next match,
you will be back in form.
You'll score a century
and those Pakistani boys,
one by one, you'll
knock them all out.
I'm telling you.
You played well. You had the right idea.
Keep working on your backfoot game.
- Hmm?
- Adi, hmm.
Don't feel bad.
This is only your first
selection match. Hmm?
- Simple matter?
- Salt water!
Thank you, miss.
- Bye, miss.
- Bye.
[light music playing]
[Arjun] Who's this new coach?
Seems to think you
played well. Hmm?
Your team lost because of you.
Go on.
The big man wants to
play a reverse sweep.
[Saravanan] Fuel cell stack technology.
We call it hydro fuel as well.
Put in simple terms, we are
getting energy from water.
So, the vehicle won't
emit any smoke at all.
Only clean, pure steam.
Zero pollution.
So within three years, our state's
per capita carbon footprint
will be the lowest
in the country.
There was someone else who claimed
something similar in the past.
No one knows what
happened to him.
Now, you're showing
us a strange battery.
- Mr. Meiyappan.
- Sir.
Why don't you let him
finish his presentation?
- He's a double doctorate holder from MIT.
- [phone buzzes]
Let him finish.
- Please go ahead.
- Ah, thank you, sir.
Now, to run a two-wheeler, the
monthly average cost for petrol
comes around 2500 rupees
to around 3500 rupees.
With the use of this technology,
we can bring it down to 500.
Tamil Nadu will be the leader in
fuel cell technology in the country.
Maybe even the world.
Very impressive. If you make it a
reality, the future looks very bright.
- Are you ready for it?
- I'm absolutely ready, sir. We're all set.
Mr. Meiyappan, complete the documentation
and formalities in two days.
- We'll announce the project on Thursday.
- [Meiyappan] Yes, sir.
Thank you, sir.
[indistinct conversation]
What do you think about it?
- Looks good, right?
- [keypad clacking]
- Did they give you a due date?
- No. Not as yet.
[low, tense music playing]
[woman 1] Kumudha
Saravanan, you can go in.
[tense music playing]
[woman 2] The treatment has
worked well for both of you.
His sperm count is also good now,
and your PCOS is under control.
So, when can we do
the procedure, doctor?
Anytime. Discuss it with
Saravanan and let me know.
Uh, we can do it next Monday.
Okay.
They'll inform you about the
formalities outside, all right?
Thank you, doctor.
Kumudha.
The treatment has taken
almost nine months to work
because of your
previous miscarriage.
I'm not sure if it
will work again.
Supplements and hormone
injections must not be missed.
And most importantly, try
not to take on any stress.
This might be your last chance.
[sombre music playing]
Sir.
- [Arjun] Hmm?
- They are all here, sir.
- RS?
- He's here, sir.
- [train horn hooting]
- [train chugging]
[crowd cheering]
[crowd clapping and chanting
rhythmically] Arjun! Arjun! Arjun!
Arjun! Arjun!
[chanting fades out abruptly]
[man 1] Sorry, dada, I had
to take a personal call.
Why did you ask me to come, sir?
No doubt, you've been one of India's
best batsmen for so many years.
But it looks like, uh,
for the last two seasons,
you've been out of form.
We think it's best you retire.
[tense music playing]
Are you finished, sir?
Did you know about this?
Yes, the decision was unanimous.
What about my captain?
That Ajith kid has averaged
70-plus this domestic season.
And he has sat it
out for two series!
I have to be fair to the young chap,
and the media is piling on the pressure.
Media pressure?
Do you remember what I did
for you when you were failing?
I demoted myself, I changed my
position, I gave you my spot.
You're here because of me, RS.
I didn't expect you of all
the people to do this, RS.
- Dada!
- [clicks tongue] Not like this.
Not after everything
I've done for you.
For this team. For my country.
[man 2] Please try
to understand, Arjun.
Don't, uh, get
emotional about this.
[tense music continues]
Fine.
Then why wait till
the end of the match?
Gentlemen, I quit right now.
- I'll inform the press myself.
- Dada, please.
It will become a big issue
if you go to the press.
- Arjun, listen to me. Arjun!
- [committee clamouring]
This will give Pakistan a psychological
edge. You know that, right?
You should have considered that
before doing all of this coach.
I'm being too emotional, is it?
How can you people
do this to me?
On my ground?
In my home?
[tense music continues]
[music fades out]
[bike approaching]
[Saravanan] Hey, Kumudha!
What do the reports say?
I had an important meeting.
- That's why I got late. I'm sorry!
- [grunts]
- You think I wanted to be late?
- Of course! You did this on purpose.
You don't really wanna
be a father, right?
Listen, I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
Kumudha. Kumudha, please. Sorry.
Sorry. Really sorry.
[chuckles nervously]
You know exactly what
this means to me.
I... I know. I know.
Please. [laughs nervously]
[light music playing]
What did the doctor say?
She said we're ready
for the procedure.
Day after tomorrow.
- Wednesday is the first extraction.
- Done.
We have to pay five
lakhs on Thursday.
I've told them we can do
the procedure next Monday.
[laughs nervously]
- We have to pay on Thursday?
- Yeah. Why?
No, no. We'll pay on
Thursday. [laughs nervously]
And there's one more thing.
Once this is done, let's
move to my dad's house.
I feel like staying there.
Of course! Why not? [chuckles]
Why are we keeping it on Monday? Is
that day auspicious or something?
[clicks tongue] As if
that matters to me.
That's when the test match ends.
Cricket crazy! [chuckles]
[both laugh]
[light music playing]
[music fades out]
So which country are father
and son planning to save?
- Ma, I'm not going to school tomorrow.
- Why? What happened?
My classmates are always teasing me.
They say India lost because of Appa.
You got out playing a stupid shot,
Adi. That's why they were teasing you.
That was not a
stupid shot, Dada.
- There was nobody in third man.
- [phone chimes]
I knew he was gonna bowl on the leg side.
That's why I tried the reverse sweep.
You've never played
T20. How would you know?
Getting too big for your boots?
You're gonna teach me?
My mistake, I should have
slapped you and raised you.
Shut up and eat.
[sombre music playing]
You need to be home
for that, Arjun.
[cell phone rings]
[sighs and blows raspberry]
Even I should have slapped
him when he was a kid. [sighs]
[suspenseful music playing]
- Hmm? Tell me.
- [coach] The meeting just got over.
- Your drama really worked.
- Meaning what?
As soon as you left,
RS made a U-turn.
He doesn't want any changes
until the series is over.
But let me tell you one thing,
the way you behaved in the meeting
was unacceptable to the committee.
We are going to choose the final
Playing XI in this Wednesday's meeting.
Until that happens, your
position is not guaranteed.
Clear?
[tense music playing]
[hangs up]
Sir, the agency called.
They want to renegotiate the
terms of the endorsement deals.
Also, a Vivek from the High Court
Lawyers Welfare Association...
- Get the PRO on the line, will you?
- Okay, sir.
[footsteps receding]
[tense music continues]
[birds chirping]
Is Appa still angry with me, Ma?
- [tender music playing]
- [woman 1 chuckles]
Adi, he is not angry with you.
[Arjun] Good
morning, Adi, my boy.
- Do you have cricket practice today?
- No, Appa.
[Arjun] Hmm.
- Have a great day, okay?
- Bye, Appa.
[Arjun] Hmm.
Everything's set, sir.
[tense music playing]
[reporters clamouring]
[woman 2] There are rumours
that there is a misunderstanding
between the Board and
Arjun. Is that true?
There are lots of fans who are
shocked to hear about his retirement.
What is the answer for them?
- Get coach on the line.
- [woman 3] Can you give us the reason?
All his fans want to know
whether this is really true.
What do you have
to say about that?
What's going on,
sir? Who did this?
- Have you spoken to anyone?
- [Arjun] Why would I speak to anyone?
Then how did the press
find out about it?
How should I know?
- Somebody in the committee must've leak...
- Arjun, what's going on?
- [coach] Don't jump to conclusions, Arjun.
- [Arjun] I'm sorry, sir.
I have to go to the press.
Let the public know how
the Board is treating me.
Don't do anything stupid.
Let me investigate.
- Give me some time.
- I don't have time.
[woman on TV] We're receiving reports
that legendary cricketer Arjun...
Hey, looks like your
classmate is retiring.
100% fake news. Not a chance.
No. Look at the TV.
[woman on TV] ...final test match
of the India-Pakistan series.
The scene here is chaos...
[clatters loudly]
These reporters
don't have any sense?
They don't even spare a child.
[helmet clatters]
Wait, hold on!
Listen, are you... Are you okay?
- Please just sit for a minute
- [Kumudha exhales sharply].
What does it matter
to us who retires?
You can't let small things like
this stress you out, Kumudha.
Kumudha, let me
ask you something.
And I want you to
be honest. Okay?
Do you actually know Arjun?
[light music playing]
No, no. I... I mean,
does Arjun even know you?
You claim to know him for years.
And you're such a huge fan.
But I still haven't
met this man.
So I have my doubts.
I've been thinking maybe the way I
know Aishwarya Rai, you know Arjun.
[both laugh]
Understood, Mr. Scientist.
Good job.
I'm calm now.
- Okay. I'll see you later?
- Eat and go.
- No, I have an important meeting...
- [clicks tongue]
[temple bell rings]
All right. I'll eat and go.
- Glad you're scared.
- I'm petrified.
- [train horn hoots]
- [train chugging]
[sighs]
I'm going to turn 34, Mary.
The doctor said if it doesn't
happen now, it never will.
This is my last chance.
Kumudha, is Sara okay
with the procedure?
Sara doesn't have a say in this.
I'm doing it no matter what.
I'm done waiting. I
can't do this anymore.
His only job is to
arrange for the money.
I'll take care of
everything else.
[boy] Come on, guys. Let's play.
Hey, Prem. And me?
- You're not playing today.
- Why not?
Because you're a coward
just like your loser father.
Don't say that about
my father, Prem.
He retired because he is too
scared to play against Pakistan.
You should also retire. [laughs]
- [Arjun] Hey!
- [Prem grunts]
- Say sorry! Say sorry to me right now!
- Adi!
- [man] Adi! Hey!
- I won't let you go.
- Say sorry to me!
- [man] Adi, stop it!
- Your father is a coward.
- [whistle blows]
- Adi, I said, stop it.
- Don't say that. He is not a coward.
- Come here. I'll slap you.
- Sir! What are you doing?
- You're gonna hit a child?
- [man] But I didn't hit him.
You would have if I
wouldn't have stopped you.
[man] You're overreacting. This
is my class. I'll take care of it.
- You don't need to interfere.
- I will, sir. What are you gonna do?
Come, Adi. He'll hit a child
and I'm supposed to ignore it.
[Prem whispers] Loser, loser!
[kids whisper]
Loser, loser, loser!
[Bharani] Sara, the
thought of Kutty...
[Sara] You keep whining about
the same thing again and again.
They have to wait
until we get money.
You are underestimating these
people. They are extremely dangerous.
[tense music playing]
Hey! How many times
do I have to call you?
- b*stard! You don't answer my calls.
- Sorry, sir, I was just a little busy.
Bullshit! You're busy and
you switch off your phone?
He said we will pay you back in
two days. Why are you yelling?
Hello, Scientist! No
one's talking to you.
You're completely
worthless. I know.
- Just sit down.
- Hey! Who are you people?
Why are you shouting and
creating a nuisance over here?
Whatever it is, go to
the canteen and fight.
Or should I call the police?
[mockingly] Canteen?
Mr. Scientist, you're
a good conman, huh?
- You fooled the entire town.
- We told you we will pay you back.
[laughs] Look at that. The
scientist is getting angry and all.
I told you to leave, but you are
still arguing with him. Get lost.
- You get lost!
- [woman] What did you say?
- Where's my phone? Give me my phone.
- a*s!
- [woman] Idiots!
- Bharani.
I trusted you and
gave you the money.
The money has to be
returned tomorrow.
If not, the property
papers. Understand?
And answer my calls. Huh?
[tense music playing]
Hey, let's go.
- [car engine starts]
- [car door closes]
[woman] How many times
do I have to warn you?
You're dropping children home,
buying them ice cream, chocolates.
Why do you keep doing
this all the time?
Ma'am, how is this
relevant? Tell me.
The PT sir was about to hit a
child and you're questioning me?
It is relevant.
The parents have sent a
complaint about it, Kumudha.
What are you saying, ma'am?
We should be affectionate to children
only if we have given birth to them?
Exactly! To the students, you are
only their teacher, not their mother.
[sombre music playing]
[sighs] Kumudha.
Please sit.
I know how much you have suffered
because you lost your mother.
I also know how desperate you
are to become a mother yourself.
But there is a limit to this.
[sombre music continues]
- [train horn hoots]
- [train chugging]
[Aditya] Miss. Sorry, miss.
The principal scolded
you because of me.
Students are not the only
ones who get a scolding.
- Teachers also get it once in a while.
- But you got a big scolding, miss.
Adi!
Simple matter...
[Kumudha chuckles and sighs]
Salt water.
- Your car is not here?
- No, it's still not here.
Here, call your mother.
Miss, the driver is always
late to pick him up.
She's not answering.
Uh, okay, come on.
I'll drop you home.
What? Now, you also wanna
give me some advice?
Let's go.
- Want some chocolate?
- [Aditya] Hmm.
[Kumudha] Hmm.
Thank you, miss.
Hey! Don't forget your bag!
[tender music playing]
- [Kumudha] Should I open it?
- [Aditya] Hmm.
- Should I?
- Yes, miss.
Yay! Six. I win!
- Cheating, miss! Cheating!
- What cheating?
- [Arjun] Careful, Appa.
- Thatha.
- What happened, Thatha?
- Nothing, son.
Your father tried to
give me coffee yesterday.
Just side effects!
Oh, Kumudha! It's been
so long since I saw you.
- How are you?
- I am good, Uncle.
I hope you're doing okay.
Just dehydration.
I'll be okay. Sit.
- Thatha!
- [Thatha] Hmm?
You know Kumudha miss?
She's my first-grade teacher.
- My favourite!
- Do I know her?
I have known her since
she was as old as you are.
Her father and I were close
friends. His name is Mr. Manickam.
Miss, how come you never told
me about all this before?
So, Arjun, I'm sure you've
forgotten about him.
[Kumudha] Uncle, it's been
14 years since we last met.
When he hit his first century
at the Lord's Stadium,
you came home to present
the bat to my father.
That's when we met.
What? First-century bat?
- Can I see it, miss?
- Definitely.
- Promise?
- Promise.
I'm sorry, Kumudha,
the other day when I saw you at
school, I didn't recognise you.
- Schoolmate.
- What did you say?
Adi, Mr. Manickam was the first coach
ever to recognise your father's talent.
Now, his daughter is
your first-grade teacher.
[cell phone rings]
[Arjun] It's all because of you.
- You're the reason for Dad's situation.
- [sighs]
Sorry, he's a bit preoccupied.
Uh, don't... don't
worry about it.
- I'll leave now.
- Okay.
- Thank you so much.
- No problem.
I'll see you at
school tomorrow. Okay?
Anything that happens to my father,
it's on the committee. You got it?
It's on the committee.
[tense music playing]
[temple bell rings]
[woman] If you can switch it
on, you can switch it off too.
How many times do I have to
tell you? Hey, what about this?
[latch rattles]
- [door rattles]
- [sighs]
I told you to get
the door fixed.
Let's just go to the temple
before that woman sees me again.
- [water running]
- Pay the clinic day after tomorrow.
Let's leave the same night
and go stay in Putlur.
Let's finish the pooja in the morning
and go directly to school from there.
- [Sara] Why did you switch off your phone?
- I didn't. The battery died.
Can you guess where
I am coming from?
What's up? Why so quiet?
Kumudha, please just come here.
I went to my
ex-boyfriend's house.
That's why I'm late.
- What? You don't believe me?
- [sighs]
Just sit down. I
want to talk to you.
Don't panic and hear me out!
Why? What's wrong?
I just said don't
panic and hear me out.
Okay, tell me.
[clears throat]
There's an issue with
the canteen licence.
- We have to pay 50 lakhs in two days.
- What did you just say?
We also need to pay for the IVF,
right? What the hell is going on, Sara?
We can keep your father's
Mylapore property as collateral.
Both our problems
will be solved.
- Kumudha, please.
- [Kumudha groans]
[angrily] My father warned me
but I didn't listen to him.
[unsettling music playing]
[coach] I know you will do everything
possible to play cricket, Arjun.
But on the other hand, the game
you're playing with the media,
that's not right.
The sad truth is that
you have lost your form.
Your time in cricket is over.
Accept it.
[waves crashing]
Cricket is my whole life, sir.
I don't know anything
else other than cricket.
So what?
Are you going to play
till the end of your life?
Look, Arjun, you have
achieved everything.
But everybody's career
comes to an end.
But that day hasn't yet come.
I'm not ready to
leave cricket yet.
As a loser?
I just can't.
I need one more chance
to make India win, coach.
For India to win
or for you to win?
No cricketer can answer
this question honestly.
On the b*ttlefield, does a
soldier fight to save his country?
Or does he fight to
save his own life?
[upbeat music plays]
I'm a soldier, sir.
They're both the same to me.
Coach, I have to play this test.
[upbeat music continues]
[light music playing
in the earphones]
[Aditya] Dada, where's my gift?
- Happy birthday, Adi, my love.
- Thanks! But where's my gift?
- Huh?
- [Padma] Shall we give it, Arjun?
Yay!
What's this, Ma? Wow!
Special-edition World Cup bat.
The whole team has signed it.
RS also!
Thank you, Ma. Thank you,
Dada. Best gift ever!
Thatha, look at my gift.
Happy birthday, Kumudha.
You wanted this. Take it.
[sighs]
This is our last chance, Sara.
[tender music playing]
You really know how
to set things right.
[cell phone rings]
Hello? Yeah, tell me.
Adi is being very insistent.
Can you come to the birthday
party for a little while, please?
Thank you for inviting
me. I'll be there. Okay?
- Happy Birthday, Kumudha!
- Thank you, Bharani.
I'm going to Arjun's house
for Adi's birthday party.
I'll send you the address.
- Pick me up from there in the evening.
- [Sara] Mm-hmm.
- Do you believe me now?
- Uh-huh.
I'll come there, see him,
and then I'll believe you.
Okay, then tonight, our
biryani plan is cancelled.
That's not right, Teacher.
Why are you so strict?
Huh? Hello! Why do I have
to struggle for biryani?
Hello! [whistles]
We've tried to pressure Arjun
from the High Court Association.
But he's refused to meet us.
He's not taking calls
from any unknown numbers.
- WhatsApp? Telegram?
- Mm-mm.
Please let it go. It's
too much of a risk.
If we mess this up, the
Syndicate will k*ll us.
[sinister music playing]
A 100 crores, Vivek.
This is our chance to
play in the big league.
You said let it go?
I can't let it go.
Do whatever it takes to
find out his private number.
[man] Dharmesh. He
owns a jewellery shop.
We have no information
on him so far, sir.
We didn't find much during
our investigation, sir.
Just some money laundering
business, that's all.
But we don't really know why
Dimello came to meet this man, sir.
[tense music playing]
They've got a head for
the Chennai syndicate.
Start tracking all their calls.
Who they talk to,
where they stay,
what they eat, where
they sleep. Everything.
- I want to know everything.
- [both men] Yes, sir.
- [slow, Tamil song playing]
- [water sloshing]
Sara, I gave the
property papers to Vivek.
All our problems will end today.
You have no idea
how stressed I was.
Sara, tomorrow, we'll meet the
minister, sign and announce the project.
Then we'll get the money from
Pramod. We'll settle Dharmesh's loan.
Return the property
papers to Kumudha.
And then pay off the
clinic and we'll be done.
Then we'll celebrate
with four rounds of rum!
[laughs]
You know what my father told
me before he passed away?
Why do you have to dream so big?
Just find a job for yourself.
You know, except for Kumudha,
everybody else thought I was crazy!
- Sara, don't think about all these...
- No, no!
I'm crazy to think that I don't want
a kid, a big house, and a fast car.
[scoffs] Struggling to make ends meet,
dragging yourself to office every day,
working only to pay off
loans, rent, school fees.
Is that a way to live life?
Huh? [clicks tongue]
But this world really
needs crazy people.
If it wasn't for them, we would
still be living in a forest,
striking stones to make fire.
[screams exultantly]
[loudly] Like Kerouac said,
"The only people are
the mad ones." [laughs]
It's only the crazy people
who can see the future today
and imagine what
tomorrow should be.
[uplifting music playing]
[Saravanan] One
day it will come.
[loudly] My day will come!
And on that day, we will
be there! On the top!
In that house in the sky.
And when Kumudha looks down
upon the world from there,
I will really
relish it. [laughs]
[Bharani] Sara, you
need to pick up Kumudha.
[in normal voice] Holy
sh*t. What's the time, man?
Why didn't you tell me?
[all] Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday, dear Adi!
Happy birthday to you!
[all clapping]
[light music playing]
- Arjun.
- [Arjun] Hmm?
[tender music plays]
[cell phone rings]
I really don't know
what to say, Kumudha.
Look, I am not a coach
to comment on your form.
But if my father was here, he
would have never given up on you.
I hope everything works
out for you, Arjun.
Okay, bye.
[sighs]
Kumudha.
Thank you so much for this.
When I came to meet Sir at home that day,
he didn't say a word about my century.
[indistinct conversation]
He'd made a list of all
of my mistakes and he...
started reading them out to me.
I found it very hurtful.
As a result, I got really angry.
I never spoke to him after.
That's why when he
passed away, I...
I should've been there, Kumudha.
I'm really, really sorry.
[sighs]
Today, the whole world is
after me and my mistakes.
Why don't you ask my son?
He has a long list of them.
[Arjun scoffs]
If coach was alive today, he
would've given me good advice.
[kids talking indistinctly]
I used to ask my father,
"Why is Arjun so special?"
You know what he
used to tell me?
"Many people play cricket.
Money, status, fame. Everyone
has a reason to do it.
But it is only Arjun who plays
for the love of the game.
The best!
One crore, one
b*llet, and one ball.
If you throw all of this at him,
he will be blind
to all that money,
he will let the b*llet
pierce through his heart,
and the only thing he will
focus on is the ball...
because cricket is his life."
[pensive music playing]
My father said that he had to give
up on cricket because of a crisis.
"But Arjun will never
give up on cricket,
and cricket won't
give up on him."
That's who I used
to be, Kumudha.
I don't know if
that's who I am today.
Sometimes I don't even
know why I'm playing.
[Kumudha mutters] Sara.
Sara?
- Arjun, my schoolmate.
- Hey!
- [grunts mockingly]
- [light, playful music playing]
- Saravanan, my husband.
- Pleasure.
Hey, pleasure to meet you too.
Kumudha and her father, they
talked about you all the time.
In fact, she is
your craziest fan.
So you're not a fan then?
I don't have time for cricket.
Uh, we met the first time when we had
come to see one of your test matches.
2007, Chepauk.
Oh! A college romance?
- Ah!
- [Arjun] Hmm.
RD 350! I get it. That's why
he hasn't changed his bike yet.
- Sentiment, sir.
- Hmm.
But this, on the other
hand, 2981 CC petrol engine
that generates 444 horsepower,
with 530 Newton meters of torque,
with a max speed of
308 km/hour, right?
Man of the Tournament
prize from the sponsors.
Then it has to be
around three years old.
[discordant music playing]
[light music playing]
Spot on.
Actually, it's time to
retire her as well, you know?
All petrol engines,
all fuel engines.
Are you an expert?
Alternative automotive
fuel tech, fuel cell.
- Interesting.
- Yeah.
Where did you graduate from?
[scoffs] MIT.
- MIT? Manipal campus?
- [unsettling music playing]
Massachusetts.
Boston? Wow!
What are you up to these days?
Actually... [sighs]
- Uh, he runs a canteen.
- Interesting.
- [Arjun] Uh!
- [unsettling music continues]
Shall we?
- Hi.
- Padma and Adi.
- Hey! Happy birthday.
- [Aditya] Hmm.
- What are you supposed to say?
- Thank you.
- [Arjun] Hmm.
- Spot on.
All the best for
the match, Arjun.
Thank you.
If I get to play.
Javed sir just called 2 minutes
ago. You are playing tomorrow.
Yay! Congrats, Appa.
[hopeful music playing]
Hey, congratulations. Lady
Luck is still with you.
Hold on to her this time.
Come. Let's go.
- Thanks again for this, Kumudha. Really.
- [bike engine starts]
Take a look. Lovely, right?
- [Padma] Bye.
- Adi, this is Appa's coach.
[suspenseful music playing]
[music fades out]
[Saravanan] Arjun is such a
lucky man. He has got everything.
[Kumudha] Hey! You
have me. Don't you?
We will also have everything.
I truly believe that.
I have complete faith in you.
[Sara chuckles]
You really know how to
set things right. [laughs]
["Hope" by Shakthisree
Gopalan playing]
May I take your order, sir?
Two mutton biryanis.
[server] Sir, this is a coffee
shop. We don't serve biryani here.
[song continues playing]
Hey, why are you hiding?
Who are you hiding from?
- Oh, her! Karpagam!
- [Kumudha] Hey!
- Karpagam! [chuckles]
- Just stop it, okay?
- [song continues]
- [cricket commentary running on TV]
[song ends]
[commentator 1] Good morning,
a historic day dawns upon us
as India and Pakistan
prepare to lock horns
at the hallowed ground of
Chepauk stadium in Chennai.
Welcome to this epic showdown,
the Freedom Series final.
The series stands in perfect
balance, a thrilling 2-2 deadlock.
This is it! The grand finale.
And the stakes
couldn't be higher.
This rivalry transcends sport.
- It's history...
- So you're not going to school today?
[commentator 1] ...and national pride,
all rolled into a single cricket match.
[commentator 2]
Absolutely, Ravi!
Twenty-five years, a quarter
of a century has passed
since these two Titans
last clashed here.
The echoes of that legendary
match still reverberate.
[Ravi] It's the home ground of
local hero Arjun Venkatraman.
He's under a lot of pressure,
but his record in this
ground is phenomenal.
Kumudha, not going
to your class?
[Ravi] ...young Veer is
making his debut today.
Hey, not you too.
[Ravi] ...as they step onto the sun-baked
pitch for the all-important toss.
[crowd cheering]
We'd like to bat first.
[BHarani] Hello! Stop watching
the match and make the tea first.
[commentary continues]
[commentator 1] Today,
history hangs heavy in the air
as a new generation of
heroes take the field.
[Ravi] Who will seize the glory?
Who will light
their name in fire
upon this momentous occasion?
We're about to find out.
Maqsood and Wazir stride out to
open the innings for Pakistan.
They're well-known for their
aggression on the pitch.
[commentator 1] It's the debutant
Veer with a new ball for India.
What a moment for
him to remember!
Here comes the first ball of
the Freedom Series decider.
First ball away and a booming
cover drive down the ground.
Oh, dear! A misfield from Arjun.
The ball skirts away for four runs.
A disappointing start
for India in the field.
Wazir pulls with all his might.
An excellent shot. The ball
races for the boundary.
[upbeat music playing]
Wazir comes down the track. A massive
six to end a breathtaking over.
[Ravi] The momentum is clearly with
Pakistan right now... [fades out]
[Vivek] We can't do
anything with this.
Your father-in-law has put a clause
that you can't sell the house.
But we didn't want to give
this as collateral, sir.
It's because you asked for it.
We had absolutely no clue there was
such a clause until you mentioned it.
Hey! It's his wife's
property, right?
Didn't he know
about this clause?
b*stard! When will he become a father
and when will I get the property?
- Hey!
- Hey!
Kutty.
This is a complete
waste of time.
Just get me my money back
and get them out of here.
Uh, Dharmesh sir.
[tense music playing]
See, I have a very important
meeting this evening.
Once it's done, the
money will come.
A meeting?
With that secretary, right?
Yes.
[Dharmesh] Okay. [sighs]
I'll give you one more day.
You have to pay
us back tomorrow.
Without settling our account,
your project will
not get approved.
Make a call to that secretary.
[tense music continues]
[commentator 1] Welcome
back after the tea break.
Pakistan are 195 for no loss.
And they have dominated
the first two sessions.
[Ravi] Veer from the pavilion
end. And clean bowled!
The Pakistan captain walks back,
a stunned expression on his face.
[commentator 1] Edged and gone,
Nitish strikes a brilliant delivery.
And that's a poor
shot from Sharjeel.
[Ravi] A bouncer and
an easy catch for Veer.
Bowled! Karthik gets his man.
This is a dream spell
for the Indian bowlers.
[commentator 1] What a
dramatic turnaround to Day 1.
Pakistan were so good in
the first two sessions,
but India fought back
brilliantly in the final session.
Pakistan are 280 for
4 at the end of Day 1.
[clapping]
Kumudha, your problems
aren't going to go away
unless you visit the temple.
We're going. See this.
I am waiting for Sara.
Oh, wow! You finally
made up your mind.
Have a safe journey.
I just want you to know
Sara is hanging out with
all the wrong people.
[tense music playing]
[Saravanan] Sir, we've submitted the
project reports, files and everything.
What's the problem?
50 lakhs for a
5000-crore project?
What are you trying to say?
Five crores. Start putting
the money together.
[tense music continues]
Sir, I've put my whole life
on hold for this project.
Please. Where am I going
to get five crores from?
What do you want me to do, Sara?
To move files in Delhi,
this is what it takes.
But, sir, isn't this unfair?
You can't do this to
me at the last minute!
I want to help you too. Don't
get a useless project...
- You think this project is useless, huh?
- Sara, calm down.
No problem, sir. Let's
drop this project for now.
Get all the clearances yourself
and then let me know, okay?
Sir, wait...
[tense music continues]
[loudly] Hey, who
the hell is he? Huh?
My project can change
the fate of this country!
And he discarded it
in a second. [scoffs]
That bloody crook!
- Huh? He thinks my project is useless?
- [Bharani] Sara...
Hey! He thinks my project
will stop because of him. Huh?
I'll go to Delhi. I'll go to every
damn minister in the country.
Please stop yelling, Sara. What
are we going to tell to Kutty, now?
I don't know man. I really don't
know. Don't ask me. I don't know.
[Bharani] Please listen to me.
Let's go back to our hometown.
You should leave
tonight with Kumudha.
You know the day
I went to America,
I really thought I would change
this world like Steve Jobs did.
You want me to give up on that?
Kumudha stood by me all her
life, waiting for me to win.
You want me to go and tell
her that we are running away?
Please understand and
listen to me, Sara.
Kutty won't spare us.
[Saravanan] You go, Bharani.
I can't run away.
[tense music continues]
[music fades out]
Is he asleep?
Thank you for arranging
his gift, Paddu.
[tender music playing]
I, uh, completely forgot.
As usual.
- [Padma] It doesn't matter, Arjun.
- [Arjun] Hmm.
I didn't do it, right?
[sighs]
You're the one who
does everything.
You're the reason this family
is still a family. [sighs]
[soft music continues]
Did you notice?
- Mine is the only sign missing.
- What?
[sombre music playing]
Maybe it's a sign.
[Padma] What happened?
It was a really tough
day today. [sighs]
The youngsters
somehow saved the day.
They're all ready to give
their lives for the team.
Just like me.
My team is in good
hands. [sighs]
[sombre music continues]
For the first time in my life...
I feel afraid.
What do you mean by that?
I don't know.
I'm not sure.
[music fades out]
Maybe it's time.
[clock ticking]
[sombre music playing]
[sniffles]
[knocking on door]
[clicks tongue] Wait,
I'm coming. [ gasps]
[clicks tongues]
[loud knocks on door]
[loud clatter]
[dogs barking outside]
I've told you a million
times to get that door fixed.
We had to pay the clinic today,
Sara. Where the hell were you?
I called you so many times.
[pages rustling]
Are you drunk?
Are you drunk? Answer me!
I am. I am. I am drunk.
What will you do?
When the teacher orders, I must
stand. When she orders, I must eat.
When she orders, I
must become a father.
What did you say?
[chuckles]
No, no. Why are you
running away? Wait. Wait.
You wanna hear a joke?
Let's talk tomorrow. Move.
- I want to tell you a joke.
- Sara, let's talk tomorrow.
Your father's a very
smart man, Kumudha.
He said he'll be reborn as
your child, right? That's it.
That's why he has willed his
whole property to himself.
[laughing]
[laughter echoes]
["Hope" by Shakthisree
Gopalan playing]
[song ends]
[temple bell rings]
[commentator 1] Maqsood
and Wazir stride out
to open the innings
for Pakistan.
- They're very well known...
- [Kutty] What a sh*thole? [scoffs]
There is only one
door over here.
[commentary continues on TV]
Who're you people? What're
you doing in my house?
Look at him, sleeping there like
a king. We are here for him.
- Hey! Wake up.
- Hey, hey, stop.
- Get up.
- [man 1] Oh, look at him.
- Looks like he is still drunk.
- Sara.
- This noise is very irritating.
- [commentary stops]
Bharani trusted this
man to escape with him.
He is such a fool.
Listen, how do you live
with such a bloody fraud?
Hey, watch your mouth, okay?
[Sara gasps, grunts]
What do you people want?
[Sara grunts]
Hello, Scientist. Looks like your wife is
as annoying and inquisitive as you are.
[Kumudha] Sara, what
are they talking about?
- Who are these people?
- Don't worry about it. You go inside.
Don't worry, huh? Kumudha,
I'll tell you what's going on.
You know that project where he
is making petrol out of water?
- I've given him money for that.
- For the project?
[sombre music playing]
Not for the canteen?
[Kutty] Yeah, you hit
the nail on the head.
It's been nine months since
he closed the canteen.
He's made a fool out
of us and you too.
[whispers] Sara...
[Kutty] Oh, no. Don't give him
that look. It's a waste of time.
This man is not worth anything.
When your father made his will, he
was very well aware of this fact.
- [Sara grunts]
- Hey, stop jumping around.
Only you're coming with us.
She's safe.
At least, for now.
- Let's go.
- [man 2] Hey, don't move.
Sara, we have to pay
the clinic today, Sara.
Oh, yes, of course. You
have to deal with that too.
First, hand over the 50
lakhs that he owes me,
then take your husband
and have your child.
Let's go.
["Hope" by Shakthisree
Gopalan playing]
[ambulance siren blaring]
[song ends]
[Manoj] Sir, we are late.
[indistinct news report on TV]
You can watch TV later.
- Your father will get upset.
- Leave.
Today, Arjun might be
facing his final chance.
His last...
Dada, Dada, can I come
to the match today?
Are you kidding me? No.
You didn't go to
school yesterday.
- [phone rings]
- You better go today.
- [hangs up]
- [Aditya] Please, Dada.
I want to watch you play
on the ground today.
Adi, don't irritate me.
It's a big day for me.
You know Thatha is not feeling well.
Appa needs to focus on his game today.
- I don't have time for this, okay?
- Please, Appa.
- [phone rings]
- Appa, please.
[clicks tongue] Hey! You're going
to get it from me. Enough already.
Shanthi, please get
him ready for school.
- Adi, let's get ready for school.
- Wait, Akka.
- Please, Appa!
- [phone rings]
- Dada...
- [Arjun] Hmm.
[Shanthi] You can't talk
to your father like that.
- [Arjun] Hello.
- [Dharmesh] Arjun sir?
- Yeah, who's this?
- I'm calling from Mumbai.
Sorry, who's speaking? Where
did you get this number?
Actually, I have a proposal
for you, Arjun sir.
Whatever it is, please speak
to my manager after the match.
Unfortunately, after the match,
this proposal will be useless, sir.
The proposal is only for today.
Hey, who the hell is this?
[Dharmesh] I suggest you think
about it. Your time is almost up.
Everyone knows this is the
last match of your career.
- So if you play the cards right...
- What the hell!
b*stard!
[tense music playing]
Shall I take my kit
and put it in the car?
- Do your bloody job, man.
- Appa, match?
- [Arjun] Adi, we'll see in the next game.
- Please, Appa.
Adi, stop annoying me.
Go to school, please.
- Get him ready.
- You don't love me, Appa?
- [Arjun] What're you blabbering?
- Then why're you lying, Appa?
- [Shanthi] Adi, you'll be late for school.
- Wait, Akka.
Isn't this your last match?
Adi, enough.
You're going to retire
like my friends told me.
Adi, shut up! Nonsense.
Are you a coward, Appa?
- [Arjun] Adi!
- [grunts]
[Arjun] Your
nonsense never ends.
[melancholic music playing]
Kumudha?
How much money do you
have in your account?
Around 50,000 rupees, I think.
Can you go and withdraw
it immediately?
I have around one and a half
lakhs. What about the other three?
[Mary] Are you not
worried about Sara?
I need to pay the clinic by 4:30 today.
I don't have time for this nonsense.
They've taken Sara away and
you're going on about money?
What do you want me to do?
Do you have 50 lakhs?
No, right?
[tense music playing]
You still want me to trust him?
You go withdraw the
money and give it to me.
I'll speak to the
principal about a PF loan.
[commentator 1] Welcome
to the exciting Day 2
of the India-Pakistan
test match.
Pakistan starts at 280 for 4.
And Rishav will start
with the ball for India.
[crowd cheering]
[Ravi] What a delivery! That's
a massive blow for Pakistan.
Rishav Singh strikes early. That's
the exact start they needed.
That's in the air.
And Abhinand takes it!
That's a big wicket.
It's the last over of the
session before we break.
And that's a poor shot, and what
a catch by Arjun in the slips.
What a collapse this
has been for Pakistan.
Pakistan are
bundled out for 369.
Veer definitely deserves
a lot of credit for his...
[man] Sir.
Sir, Dharmesh made
a call to Arjun.
[crowd cheering
in the background]
- From his regular number?
- [man] Yes, sir.
- [Isaac] Where is Arjun right now?
- At home, sir.
At home?
Arjun's not at the team hotel?
No, sir. His father is not well. So
he made a request to the management.
Something is off.
Use this as a base, and ask for
permission to tap Dharmesh's phone.
[man] Yes, sir.
[tense music playing]
[Vivek] Sir, we've tried our best to
fix Arjun. But it's not worked out.
[Dimello] The match's already
begun. You've lost your chance.
- Don't do anything else.
- sh*t!
[tense music playing]
Why the hell have you brought these
people back here, Kutty? Idiot.
I've told this idiot's
wife to get us the money.
Let him be here till
she comes with it.
Kutty, this is your problem.
You have to settle it.
Why should I settle it?
If the deal gets screwed up,
how is this only my problem?
- Aren't you people partners in this?
- We didn't want this from the beginning.
You only did this to get
your hands on that property.
- Now, you handle it.
- Okay, I'll handle it.
- Give me my money. Where is my money?
- Hey, Kutty.
[clamouring]
Hey, Vivek, just stop him.
- Give me my money!
- Kutty!
- [Kutty] I want my money right now...
- [grunts]
How dare you hit me?
Who do you think you are?
[clamouring continues]
- Let go of me!
- [clamouring continues]
Oh, wow!
We have some very
special people here.
Kutty, from a small-time
criminal to big-time politician?
[laughs nervously]
Nothing like that, sir.
They borrowed money and are
not giving it back, that's all.
Yeah, so? You decide
to play the judge here?
Both of you leave.
Dharmesh Agarwal.
Looks like what you're making
from jewellery and money laundering
is not enough for you anymore.
And you're trying to do some betting
or fixing in the world of cricket.
Right? Don't even
think about it.
Or you're a dead man.
- Clear?
- [tense music plays]
[music fades out]
Sir.
What is Kutty doing here?
Start keeping an eye on him too.
[tense music playing]
You dropped Aditya home even
after I warned you not to do it.
Sorry, Kumudha. I have to
place you under suspension.
[tense music continues]
[woman] We're calling from
Kana Fertility Clinic.
You have to clear the payment
for the Monday IVF
procedure by this evening.
When will you be here?
[cell phone rings]
[Saravanan] Hello,
Kumudha, Kumudha.
It's... it's become a big problem.
Listen, just don't come home.
Do you hear me? Don't come
home. Don't come... Kumudha...
Hello? Hel...
[phone call drops]
[indistinct chatter]
[sombre music playing]
[priest chanting hymns]
[tender music playing]
[music fades out]
Adi, what are you doing here?
Why haven't you gone home?
I don't want to go home, miss.
What happened, Adi?
My father hit me because I
wanted to watch the match.
He doesn't love me, miss.
I'm never going to go back home.
[clicks tongue and sighs]
Looks like we are both
having a very bad day.
Let's make it better. Hmm?
[commentator 1] It's
a hot day at Chepauk.
Pakistan put up a score of 369.
Abhinand Shankar and Sanjay
Sharma are out at the centre,
opening the Indian innings.
Zafar will have the honour of bowling
the first over with the new ball.
A thick edge. Shankar manages to
edge the ball for a streaky double.
A lovely start from
the Indian opener.
[crowd cheering]
[Ravi] Bowled!
Zafar gets the breakthrough.
Pakistan strikes early.
[commentator 1] Faizal Ahmed
walks in. Sanjay Sharma on strike.
Cleaned him up.
A beauty of an inswinger from Humayun,
and Sanjay Sharma is clean bowled.
An excellent start for Pakistan.
India is in deep, deep
trouble at two for two.
They really need Arjun to play a
good innings here to save them.
[upbeat tune playing]
[crowd cheering]
[Ravi] And here's Arjun.
Finally walks out, bat in hand,
and the weight of the
world on his shoulders.
He hasn't been in the
best of form lately.
And his performances in the
last tests weren't good.
You can hear the reaction
from the Chepauk crowd.
The cheers stinged
with trepidation.
It's been a long road
back for this legend.
He faces up to
Wazir. First ball.
And it's a push and misses.
Arjun is still
missing his rhythm.
There's visible tension
in the Indian dugout
and in the faces
of Chepauk fans.
[crowd cheering]
[commentator 1] He misses again!
He's facing some good pace here.
And those first few deliveries
aren't finding the middle of the bat.
The nerves are definitely
showing for Arjun.
Meanwhile, Pakistan is
charging with confidence.
Remember, this is a man fighting
for more than just runs today.
He's fighting for his career
and maybe his entire legacy.
And that's going to be
an uphill task for him,
considering the determination
of the Pakistani bowling attack,
[fading out] now in the
form of Zafar and Humayun.
But don't forget,
Ravi, this is a man
who has played over a hundred
test matches for India,
and he cannot be discounted
at any situation.
[Kumudha] "Many
people play cricket.
Money, status, fame. Everyone
has a reason to do it.
But it is only Arjun who plays
for the love of the game.
The best!"
[uplifting music playing]
[commentator 1] A glorious
cover drive for a four.
A flash of the old Arjun. The
crowd erupts for their homeboy.
There's a flicker
of hope ignited.
[upbeat music playing]
- [commentator 1] That's a great shot!
- [crowd cheering]
He has hammered the
ball into the crowd.
[commentator 2] Here comes
the last ball of the day.
And nicely defended.
India are 93 for 2 at
the end of day two.
Arjun remains not out at 48,
and Ahmed remains not out at 37.
[upbeat music continues]
[Ravi] Certainly, Sanjay.
That's the end of Day 2. And this
is what we've been waiting for.
Arjun is back!
A statement innings in the
making against an old enemy,
under impossible pressure.
[fading out] This is
the stuff legends...
[music and claps fade out]
[train chugging]
Sara, go tell Kumudha
everything. She will understand.
And both of you leave town.
I'll talk to the lawyer and
call you in the morning.
[bag thuds]
I'm sorry, Kumudha. I shouldn't have
started my project without telling you.
But I just couldn't have
given up on my dream.
When your family abandoned you,
my poor father sold everything
to set up the canteen.
His lifeless body
lay right there.
You went and sold off the canteen
even before he was cremated.
How selfish can you be?
[tense music playing]
Forget it. [sighs]
- [Sara] Forget about...
- Don't touch me.
[tense music continues]
[exhales slowly]
Can we please talk
about this later?
- Let's just go.
- [sighs]
You go.
Get lost forever, Sara.
What are you saying?
Who do I have other than
you? Where will I go?
I don't care where you go.
[Kumudha] Please.
Leave me alone.
[loudly] Stop blabbering, all right?
It's not safe for us to be here.
- Let's go.
- Don't shout.
Adi is sleeping.
Aditya?
What is he doing here?
- All right, come, let's drop him home.
- I'm not going anywhere.
[Saravanan] We
shouldn't be here.
This is my house
and I'm not leaving.
I'm gonna continue living here.
[tense music continues]
- [opens fridge]
- [Sara] Let's not be here.
Please listen to me. Just
trust me this one time.
[exhales]
I trusted you when I was 24.
I married you with that trust.
Since that first night,
you've gone out of your way
to make a fool out of
me again and again.
[sombre music playing]
I can't trust you anymore.
[loudly] Just be a little
patient and hear me out!
[tense music playing]
You want me to be
a little patient?
Be a little patient
while you yell at me.
For what?
For trying to save the
country with your stupid fuel
and sending your father
to his grave, huh?
Or then?
For all the days you
drank yourself silly
and let everyone humiliate me
and call me infertile woman?
I don't get it.
[tense music continues]
You're absolutely right.
[Kumudha scoffs lightly]
But let's not talk about it now.
It's time for you to
take your medication.
[tense music continues]
Oh!
It's time for my medication?
Is that why I'm behaving
like a crazy woman?
Yes, I am crazy.
I'm gonna behave crazy.
[loudly] What are you going
to do? What can you do anyway?
Kumudha, please don't.
Have you ever asked yourself why
I take that anxiety medication?
It's because of all the stress
that you and your project give me.
Some Steve Jobs you are!
Big-time achiever!
I saw everything this morning.
Some bloody lowlife g*ons
threaten to take your wife away
and you just stare at them?
You do nothing to stop them?
And now you want me to run away?
- Just let it go.
- Don't you have any shame?
- [Saravanan] Kumudha, don't...
- [laughs] Look at that.
You said Arjun's story is over.
Look at how he is winning.
[tense music continues]
It's not enough to dream
about wanting everything.
You have to win.
Only winners have talent.
Only the winner is great.
I sacrificed my dream for ten
years for the sake of your dream.
I'm crazy! I'm crazy!
What have I ever asked you for?
[Saravanan] Stop it.
Our own child.
[loudly] It's all I ever wanted
and you can't even give me that!
- And you call yourself a man?!
- [both grunt]
[tense music fades out]
[unsettling music playing]
[ominous music playing]
[ominous music continues]
[discordant music playing]
- [ominous music playing]
- [Padma breathing heavily]
Because of that,
you slapped him?
Why did you do that?
He ran away from home
because you raised your hand.
[sobbing]
I'm really scared.
Arjun, let's talk
to the Commissioner.
[sighs] If we go
to the police then,
it will just unnecessarily
become a media circus.
What the hell is wrong with you?
I'm losing my mind because
our son is missing,
and you're bothered
about the media?
Are you out of your mind?
- I'll talk to him.
- Okay, okay, okay, okay.
I'll speak to them.
[ominous music continues]
[phone buzzes]
- Hello.
- [Saravanan] Arjun sir?
- Who's this?
- Your son Aditya is with us.
[exhales]
Where is he, and you are?
If you play like I tell you in the
match, nothing will happen to your son.
Listen!
- Do you even know who you're speaking to?
- [Saravanan chuckles]
Listen sir,
the real test is about to begin.
[suspenseful music playing]
Hello.
- [suspenseful music continues]
- [exhales]
[ominous music playing]
[music builds up, fades]
[glass shatters]
[discordant music playing]
[glass clatters]
["Broken Glass" by Akshay

[song ends]
[temple bells ringing]
- [phone keypad clacking]
- [line ringing]
[phone ringing]
Hello, Sara. Why aren't
you answering my calls?
- Have you left town?
- We're at the Mylapore house.
Mylapore house? What the
hell are you doing there?
Hey, hold on. Just listen to me.
Bring a bottle of rum,
food for three people
and get here right away.
What three people?
- Hello, Sara. Hey...
- I'll talk to you later. Just get here!
- [banging on door]
- [Kumudha] Sara! Sara!
- Wait, wait, wait. Don't yell. I'm coming.
- [Kumudha] Sara! Sara!
- [banging on door]
- [Kumudha] Sara!
Sara, what the
hell are you doing?
Good morning.
Why have you locked
the door? Where is Adi?
Look at that! Your legend!
[tense music playing]
Back in form, huh?
Wow, what a player!
Only winners are great, right?
Let's see how much greatness your
winner is able to achieve today.
What is this nonsense?
What's wrong with you?
Have you gone crazy?
[laughs]
"The patient will rule the world."
Isn't that right, teacher? Hmm?
Today, just be patient
and watch what happens.
[clicks tongue] Sara!
What are you doing,
Sara? Open the damn door.
[low, tense music continues]
I've given your number
to the local station.
They will call you if
they get any information.
Paddu, if anyone asks anything, tell
them Adi's gone to a friend's house.
Are you gonna tell
me what's going on?
What's the matter with you?
Our son is missing.
And you're leaving
to go play a match.
Adi will come back home soon.
- [phone buzzes]
- Trust me.
- [phone buzzes]
- [Arjun rejects the call]
I can't afford to
miss this match.
I think you'll understand.
[phone buzzes]
- Who are you?
- I'm a big fan, sir. [laughs]
- [Arjun] Where is Adi?
- You saw the Telegram message I sent?
[ominous music playing]
You've tied a helpless child up.
What kind of a man are you?
- You want money, right?
- Yes, I want money.
Because money is everything!
People don't have
any value. [laughs]
Tell me what you want.
What is it that I want now?
[Saravanan] I want to win.
[ominous music continues]
Sara! Who the hell
are you talking to?
Hey, hey, hey! Don't
panic, my love.
Stop acting crazy and
open the door, Sara!
First, let me sort all this out
and then you can lecture me, okay?
Here. Have some chocolate.
[Dimello] Are you guys stupid? Why
did you contact the player directly?
We first tried to contact
him on WhatsApp and Telegram.
[sighs] But no luck.
- And then, under pressure...
- [Dimello] Okay.
The police only know that
you called and spoke to him.
They don't know
the conversation.
Stop everything and
don't contact me anymore.
[Vivek] Bhaiya! Our
50-crore deposit?
Sir, why have you debited
50 lakhs from my account?
I have bigger problems, Kutty. Don't
come to me with these petty things.
Sir, 50 lakhs must be
a petty thing for you.
This is not right, sir.
[phone rings]
[loudly] Hey, you
are a dead man, okay?
I'll find you, wherever you are.
And I'm going to bloody k*ll you.
Shut up and give
Dharmesh the phone.
You good-for-nothing son of a
b*tch. You're ordering me around?
[laughs] Hey, shut up.
Give him the phone.
Need to have a chat
about fixing the match.
Sara.
Saravanan, you think I'm some
small-time pawnbroker you can fool?
I've set up Arjun.
He will get out
in the first over.
Just watch the match.
- [tense music playing]
- [temple bells ringing]
[diabolic music playing]
[Ravi] Welcome back to Day 3
of the action-packed showdown
between India and Pakistan.
We've got a treat for you today.
India is 93 for 2.
Arjun, the talismanic batsman,
is in scintillating form,
[distorted] taking on the
Pakistani bowling attacks
- with finesse and precision.
- [commentator 1] Absolutely, Ravi.
[Ravi, normal] Arjun seems
to be seeing the ball
[echoes] like a football out there,
leaving the Pakistani bowlers
scratching their heads,
with his impeccable
judgement and shot selection.
And India is on
the driving seat.
[commentator 1] Absolutely. It's a
master class in batting from Arjun.
[in normal voice] He's
been in complete control,
patiently waiting for the
right ba*ls to attack.
And dispatch them to
the boundary with ease.
[Sanjay] And here comes Zafar!
Arjun takes his guard,
eyes focused and
[echoes] ready.
[ominous music playing]
[crowd cheering]
Oh, he leaves it!
It's a well left delivery.
A perfect outswinger.
But Arjun lets it go with confidence,
knowing that his off-stump is safe.
[Ravi] It's a classic
setup from Zafar.
We can expect an inswinger
in the next ball.
I'm sure Arjun knows it well.
- [ominous music playing]
- [crowd cheering]
[Ravi] Zafar charges in.
[commentator 2] What's
this? He's bowled.
It's an inswinger.
Arjun mistook the line, and the
ball sneaks through his defence.
- He's been clean bowled.
- [crowd groans]
[Ravi] But what a turnaround, Sanjay.
Arjun was looking so solid out there.
But the Pakistani bowler
[distorted] has outfoxed him
[in normal voice] with a
clever change of pace and line.
That's cricket for you.
Unpredictable and unforgiving.
[Sanjay] What have we
just witnessed here?
Arjun Venkatraman departs, and a
hush falls over the Chepauk crowd.
You could hear a pin drop.
[Ravi] A good knock
brought to a sudden halt.
Arjun Venkatraman, who was batting like
a man possessed yesterday... [fades]
Why are you so quiet?
- What happened to your great man? Huh?
- [phone buzzes]
- [Bharani] Sara.
- Yeah, wait. I'm coming.
- [knocks on door]
- [Bharani] Sara! Sara!
[Kumudha] Bharani!
- Bharani, open the door.
- Sara, why have you locked her in there?
- [shushing] Just go open the door.
- [Kumudha] Bharani, let me out!
[Dharmesh] How did you fix him?
[sighs]
Now do you believe me?
- Answer my question.
- Why do you have to care about that?
I have set him up.
Shall we make a deal?
Hmm. Go ahead.
Arjun will follow one of your orders
when he goes out to play tomorrow.
For that, you close my current
loan and give me 50 lakhs.
That's way too much.
[laughs] That's half a percent
in your 100-crore deal.
That's not too much. [laughs]
Five lakhs in advance. And the
rest after the match is fixed.
Oh, and my property papers that you have,
you can send it across to my lawyer.
Thank you.
So? What do you think?
Now do you understand
what I'm doing?
Come on. Let's eat.
I'm very hungry.
Sara, do you have any
idea what you are doing?
- [Sara laughs]
- Sara.
- You better listen to what I'm saying...
- You don't get to say anything.
Five lakhs is all
you want, right?
Just watch the circus.
- Will you stop acting crazy?
- Yeah, I'm the one who is crazy.
I've always been crazy but
just like you said to me.
[deep voice] "Are
you a man?" [laughs]
[Bharani] At least give me a
clear idea of what your plan is.
[Saravanan] Yeah, ask me
like that. I'll tell you.
What we want is money. What
Dharmesh wants is Arjun.
Who controls Arjun? We do.
So we control Arjun,
for the money.
Our problem is solved. How
do you like my master plan?
[Bharani] Sara, we are not
criminals. We'll get caught.
There's no chance we'll get caught.
And even if we do get caught,
we'll say Dharmesh took
our property papers
and he forcefully made
us do this. Simple.
That's fine. But Adi...
- What if we get caught because of Adi?
- Yeah, but he never saw us, right?
When this is over, we'll say Adi and
Kumudha were kidnapped by somebody,
we don't know who, and we'll maintain
that story. What do you think?
Sara, please just listen to me.
He's only a child. Let's
drop him back to his parents.
- [Aditya] Miss! Kumudha miss!
- Adi!
- Sara, let go of me.
- Just stop it. Don't say my name.
- Sara...
- What are you...
- Move!
- [Aditya] Miss, please let me out!
- [tense music playing]
- [Aditya] Please help me!
[Kumudha] Sara! Sara!
Adi, I am right here.
Don't be scared.
- [Kumudha] Sara! Sara!
- [Aditya] Kumudha miss, please help me!
[Kumudha] Bharani, please
tell him to open the door.
- [Aditya] Get me out of here!
- [Kumudha] Sara, what's wrong with you?
Sara!
Sara, don't do this.
[Aditya] Take me back
home! [Kumudha] Sara! Sara!
- [Aditya] Please, miss.
- [Kumudha] Sara, open the door.
[discordant music playing]
[Ravi] Pakistan is trying a
spinner for a change in this over.
- First ball up and over.
- [crowd cheering]
Rajat Valmiki lofts one
over mid-off for a six.
Shot! Sweetly driven by the captain.
He picks up another boundary.
[crowd cheering]
Edged and taken! Sharp
catch from the skipper.
Imtiaz Ahmed is having a
wonderful time in Chennai.
[Sanjay] It's the end of Day 3,
and India have lost all
their 10 wickets for 302.
Rakesh Sharma played really
well and remains not out at 106.
[player] Terrific
innings, Captain!
[tense music playing]
[Isaac] Arjun!
Isaac Aghilan.
- Assistant Commissioner of Police.
- Actually, I...
Aghilan, Don Bosco Under 16,
right-hand bat,
medium pacer, right?
Not bad.
You're a cop now? How come?
Fate, maybe.
Never mind that. Why
dig up the past now?
Actually, my dad's
in the hospital.
- I really have to go.
- Hold on.
Did someone named
Dharmesh call you?
Dharmesh?
No.
You sure?
Nobody by that name called.
I really have to go. It's
nice seeing you, man.
- [tense music playing]
- [car engine starts]
- [car door shuts]
- [car receding]
[temple bell ringing]
[phone buzzes]
[exhales]
Look at this.
Kumudha. Look at this.
Five lakh rupees.
- See, I am winning.
- [Kumudha crying]
Now do you believe me?
[tense music continues]
[sighs]
Adi hasn't eaten since morning.
He won't eat
anything I give him.
[door latch opens]
[phone rings]
[Saravanan] Well
played, Arjun sir.
I did what you told me to.
I want to see my son.
[Saravanan] Yeah, but this is not a
one-day match, is it? It's a test.
You follow my instructions
tomorrow as well.
And you can see
Adi the day after.
[tense music playing]
[sighs]
[Arjun] Is your name Dharmesh?
Why are you asking?
[Arjun] The police
were enquiring.
- Did you say anything?
- Why would I say anything?
Good.
Don't talk to the police
and make it a bigger issue.
[chuckles]
Now we control Dharmesh as well.
[tense music continues]
[door opens]
[Aditya whimpers]
- Adi.
- [Aditya straining]
- Adi.
- [Aditya mumbles]
- Adi, Adi. [sobs]
- [groans] Miss!
Miss, why have you
tied me up, miss?
No, no, Adi, I... I
haven't tied you up.
Your father's enemies have
trapped us... trapped us here.
[voice breaking] I am really
scared, miss. [sniffles]
I want my Ma and Appa.
- I just want to go home.
- It's... it's okay, Adi.
Don't be scared. Just trust me.
I will take you home.
Eat something first,
okay? Just eat something.
I've got something
for you to eat, okay?
[Aditya] Is Appa in
trouble because of me?
No, no, it's not your fault.
Don't think like that, okay? Your
dad will sort everything out.
No, miss. I don't
feel like eating.
Eat a little bit, Adi, please.
[both crying]
Please, Adi.
Simple matter.
- [melancholic music playing]
- [sobbing]
Salt water.
[sniffles]
Please, Adi.
[music continues]
[sobbing]
Listen.
Our loan is settled.
And on top of that,
we are getting paid.
This is our time, man.
You think a man like Kutty
is going to leave us alone?
He's going to k*ll all of us.
It's not too late even now. Let's
drop him home and leave town.
Shut up.
I've already told you. If you
want you can leave or keep quiet.
Let's see what
Kumudha has to say.
Kumudha.
Kumudha. Am I a
winner or a los...
Hey, what are you doing?
- [line ringing]
- Kumudha, who are you calling? [grunts]
- Sara! Give it back.
- Don't do it. Listen to me.
Sara!
Kumudha, I'm telling you,
don't do it. Just listen to me.
- Sara!
- Give me the phone!
- [Kumudha gasps]
- [Bharani] Kumudha!
Have you lost your mind?
Sara, please. [whimpers]
What has he done? Let him go.
Sara, it's not right to
t*rture a child [whimpers]
because we are going
through problems, Sara.
How are we torturing that child?
We are struggling for a
child like that too, Kumudha.
He doesn't have
any problem here.
You're here for him.
[tense music playing]
Won't you care for
him like a mother?
[sobbing]
[Saravanan] Kumudha, Adi is the
solution to all our problems.
Think about it.
Our loan problem is gone.
We can move into this house
like you always wanted.
We can bring up our child here.
Look at this.
Just like you asked for.
See, I've paid the clinic.
Believe me now, Kumudha.
[phone rings]
Just this one time.
[phone continues ringing]
Hello.
[Padma] Hello, miss.
You tried calling me?
Um, Adi was very
upset yesterday.
He told me that
Arjun had hit him.
[Kumudha] I... I wanted to
know if Adi is okay now.
[tense music playing]
Adi is fine.
He is at... [inhales] a
friend's house for a sleepover.
I'll ask him to call
you once he's back.
[tense music continues]
[line disconnects]
- [sombre music playing]
- [sobbing]
- [tense music playing]
- [Padma sobbing]
Did you talk to the police?
[Arjun] Huh.
I spoke to them.
They said they still
haven't found anything.
[specs clatters]
Don't lie to me. They said you
haven't filed any complaint.
What do you mean they said?
Who did you speak to?
- I told you I'd take care of it, right?
- Why did you lie to me?
Oh, God, Paddu, why did
you speak to the police?
If the police finds out,
everything will get messed up.
If the police finds out,
then the media will find out.
And the media...
[splutters]
Call the police.
- Tell them Adi has come back home.
- [gasps]
Stop this bullshit, Arjun?
Cricket is more important
to you than Adi?
Just listen to me.
Are you even human?
Our son is missing
since yesterday.
We have no clue what happened.
[voice breaking] How can you act like this
and pretend like nothing has happened?
For all these years,
I put up with your
obsession and your madness.
[shrilly] I did it only for Adi!
Stop playing games
with my son's life.
You b*stard!
- [grunting]
- Paddu.
- Paddu!
- [grunts and sobs]
- Paddu! Adi has been kidnapped.
- [grunting and sobbing]
[sobbing] Kidnapped?
- He's been kidnapped.
- Kidnapped? Kidnapped!
- [Paddu sobbing]
- [tense music playing]
[mumbles] Kidnapped... Kidnapped
[grunting and sobbing]
[Arjun breathing heavily]
[tense music continues]
Please let's go to
the police, Arjun.
- Please let's go to the police.
- We can't go to the police, Paddu. [sighs]
If we go to the police, we don't
know what they'll do to Adi.
As long as I do whatever
they tell me to,
they've promised me that they
won't do anything to harm Adi.
Listen to me.
Listen to me.
[melancholic music playing]
The responsibility of bringing our
son back home safe and sound is mine.
Trust me.
["Lullaby" by Shakthisree
Gopalan playing]
[song ends]
Arjun, think about
it one last time.
I want to know if you're
going to the police.
The only way for us to save Adi
is for me to do exactly
what they tell me to.
Have you taken the other phone?
I think you should make a
video call and talk to Adi.
I...
We need to know.
[sombre music playing]
[Arjun] Hmm.
Yesterday, when you got out?
Betrayal.
[sombre music continues]
Arjun,
you are doing the right thing.
It doesn't matter if
we lose the match.
We need Adi back. That's it.
[music fades out]
[temple bell rings]
[birds chirping]
[door opens]
Adi has a fever.
- We need to take him to a doctor.
- [hesitates] We can't do that now.
If Kutty's men see us, I'm telling
you, they will all k*ll us.
Then go get some
medicine for the fever.
[tense music playing]
Carefully.
[tense music playing]
[door opens]
- [door shuts]
- [phone buzzing]
[sighs]
- [Kutty] Hello, Sara?
- What is it?
It takes you so long to
answer? Very busy, huh?
Hey, I have a wife to nag me.
I don't need you to do that.
Hello, Sara! So much
arrogance is not good.
Okay fine, then I'll hang up.
You handle this Arjun
matter yourself.
- [loudly] Hey!
- Shut your trap, man.
- What are you...
- Kutty! I'll talk to him.
Oh, really?
If you make any mistakes,
I'll be in trouble.
- That sounds about right.
- [Dharmesh] What do you mean?
The police already know that you
were the one who called Arjun.
So if I make a mistake,
you'll be in trouble.
So you need to be very careful.
[crowd cheering]
[Ravi] Happy Sunday, everyone.
It's Day 4 of the final match,
between India and Pakistan.
We are at MA Chidambaram Stadium
at the heart of the action.
India were bowled
out for 302 on Day 3.
[commentary continues
indistinctly]
Sir! Dimello came back to
Chennai last night, sir.
[Ravi] India will be looking to
bundle up Pakistan cheaply today.
It will all come down to the opening
pair of Maqsood Hussain and Wazir Ahmed
to provide a good start
for Pakistan, yet again.
The captain is sharing
some final thoughts here.
As senior pro Arjun
Venkatraman joins the huddle.
The stage is set for
the second innings
of what promises to be
an action-packed day.
[commentator 1]
Three slips in place.
Veer Rao to start the
proceedings for India.
[crowd cheering]
[Ravi] Veer Rao
comes charging in.
It's a sharp bouncer, and it hits Wazir!
And both the players get in a tussle.
Words fly like sparks, raising
the tension on the field.
[Sanjay] Arjun is switching
positions with Sanjay.
Looks like he's trying to tighten
up the fielding at the slips.
[commentator 1] Veer with the
next ball. That's in the air!
Rajat Valmiki goes after it.
And there is Arjun heading in
the same direction as well.
And what is gonna
happen? Oh no! Dropped!
Arjun Venkatraman
clashes with Rajat here.
They have spilled a sitter.
Come on, you have to take them.
At this level, this is terrible, terrible
coordination between the players.
Rakesh Sharma is not happy.
[upbeat music playing]
[crowd cheering]
[commentator 1] Excellent
stroke from Wazir.
Ball runs to the boundary.
This partnership between Wazir
and Maqsood is flourishing.
And they are putting India
under some pressure. [fades out]
[door opens]
What if Arjun files a
complaint with the police?
He won't do it.
- I'll make sure of that.
- [phone buzzes]
Bharani.
It's... it's come.
- Kumudha.
- [knocking]
- [knocking]
- [Saravanan] Kumudha. Kum...
[whispers] What?
Adi is sleeping.
[exhales]
The balance amount of 45 lakh rupees
has been deposited in our account.
And the property papers
for your parents' house
have reached our
lawyer's office.
Now do you believe? Huh?
Are you happy now? Huh?
Kumudha is happy,
Bharani. [laughs]
[Bharani] Okay now that we have the
money, let's go drop the boy back home.
[Saravanan] I've told him, we'll
drop him at school tomorrow.
That's the safest for us.
- [Bharani] It's better if we drop him now.
- We will drop him tomorrow.
[suspenseful music playing]
Adi is fast asleep.
Let his fever come down.
We'll drop him tomorrow.
Let him stay with us tonight.
You too, Kumudha?
We'll handle it.
[suspenseful music continues]
[commentator 1] Almost
at the end of Day 4.
And Veer Rao on the ball.
It goes in the air!
And it's a catch!
Veer Rao to end Pakistan's
innings with that.
[Ravi] Pakistan end
their innings at 250.
That dropped catch has
proved costly for India.
Will this come
back to haunt them?
They will have to chase
318 in the final day.
[tense music playing]
- [phone buzzes]
- [Sara sighs]
I need to see my son.
Get on a video call.
[Saravanan] Talk to
him in person tomorrow.
Listen to me.
I've done everything
you told me to, right?
You don't have to.
You have a choice, Arjun sir.
You can go to the
police if you want.
But I know you won't do that.
Because our story is
somewhat like the story
of the thief and the scorpion.
The thief knows that
he shouldn't scream.
And the scorpion knows why
the thief won't scream.
- Don't forget that.
- [hangs up]
[tense music continues]
[waves crashing softly]
[police sirens
blare indistinctly]
Sir, I just got a
call from Kailasam.
Kutty has ordered a hit on three
people. Saravanan, Bharani and Kumudha.
That's not our department.
Inform the Harbour
Station about it.
[man] Okay, sir.
One more thing, sir.
A complaint was filed at the
station that Arjun's son is missing.
Three hours later, they
took the complaint back,
saying he has come back home.
[tense music playing]
- [train chugging]
- [temple bell ringing]
[TV news on mute]
Don't think you won, Sara. It
will come back to bite you.
Let it come.
Let it bite me.
We are already drowned in it.
What does it matter if
it is an inch or a foot?
Like we are drowning
in this booze.
- It's all just mathematics. [chuckles]
- [phone buzzes]
[phone buzzes]
- [whispers] No, Sara. Don't.
- Yeah.
[clears throat exaggeratedly]
Hello, Dharmesh
bhai. How's it going?
[Dharmesh] One more big
deal. Can you do it?
Sara, don't do it.
First, tell me what the deal
is, then I'll let you know.
[Dimello] We'll let
him know tomorrow.
I'll tell you tomorrow.
Oh, yeah? Then I'll tell
you tomorrow as well.
[Saravanan] Whether
I can or I cannot.
Sara, please don't go ahead with
this. It doesn't feel right.
What?
"It doesn't feel right"?
Some guy out there
throws a ball,
and another guy hits it
with a piece of wood,
and some random guys pay
43,000 crores for it.
And the guy who wants
to do good for everyone,
nobody gives a damn about him.
Does that feel right to you?
Come on, tell me.
Sara! Let it go, Sara.
Just put an end to this.
You and Kumudha should
go back to America.
You'll find plenty of
good jobs over there.
Hey, this is my country.
My project will work out.
The whole world will notice me.
[loudly] Stop
talking like a fool!
In all these years, has your
project worked out, huh?
Dump your project in the trash
and stop all this nonsense.
[Bharani grunts]
[breathing heavily]
[Saravanan] Get out! Go!
Go live and die in the
gutter like a common man.
That's where you belong.
I don't know why I have
kept you by my side.
No wonder I've always
been struggling.
[sobbing]
Get out! Keep walking.
And don't ever come back.
[mumbles] Bloody idiot!
- "Doesn't feel right."
- [door shuts]
Who asked him? as*h*le.
[tense music playing]
- [knocks lightly]
- Kumudha.
- [knocks lightly]
- Kumudha?
- [door opens]
- [Saravanan] Hey...
What?
Biryani.
[sombre music playing]
[chuckles softly]
I'm sorry, Kumudha.
I've put you through
a lot of trouble.
But you'll see tomorrow,
how our lives are
going to change.
[sombre music playing]
[Kumudha] Let it go.
Go sleep.
We'll talk tomorrow.
[clicks tongue] Sara,
what are you doing?
Sara!
We have our procedure tomorrow.
[tender music plays, fades]
What is it?
Don't overthink.
I've never wanted
too much from life.
I just had one dream.
A small house of my own.
A loving husband.
A child to call me mother.
That's all.
[sombre music playing]
[Kumudha] I just had one dream.
A small house of my own.
A loving husband.
A child to call me mother.
[Kutty] Hello, scientist. You
are completely worthless, I know.
[diabolic music playing]
[Kumudha] This is our
last chance, Sara.
[discordant music playing]
[Bharani] In all these years,
has your project worked out?
Dump your project in the trash
and stop all this nonsense.
[Kumudha] It's not enough to
dream about wanting everything.
You have to win.
Only winners have talent.
Only the winner is great!
[Saravanan, loudly] "The only
people are the mad ones."
[ominous music playing]
[phone buzzes]
[phone ringing]
[tense music fades out]
[phone rings]
- When are you dropping Adi?
- There is a change of plans.
[suspenseful music playing]
What?
Dropping Adi is the
only plan for today.
[whispers] Arjun, police.
Listen to me very carefully.
Until the last ball
of the match today,
my game,
my rules.
Hello, Arjun.
[Arjun] Aghilan.
Tell me. What can I do for you?
Had you filed a missing
complaint for your son?
Oh, about that.
[chuckles softly]
It was just a small confusion.
He finished cricket practice
and came home late from school.
She panicked and
filed a complaint.
Sorry about that.
Where is he now?
[Padma] He's at his friend's place
for a sleepover this weekend.
He'll be going to school
directly from there.
I've got to go, Aghilan.
It's match time.
Good luck. India is
really counting on you.
I hope you can
handle the pressure.
Please.
[suspenseful music playing]
- Where the hell have you disappeared?
- [door shuts]
[latch slides]
Oh, you're ready, Sara?
[chuckles] Ready.
Then I'll get ready too.
[phone buzzes]
[Saravanan] If you want Arjun to
do what you're saying, five crores.
[suspenseful music playing]
You're getting greedy now.
[Dimello] Hmm.
Okay. Tell me.
Good.
Go and hand over the five crores
to your friend, Secretary
Meiyappan personally.
Tell him to get my project
signed and approved
and get a press release done.
I want a signed copy on
my WhatsApp in 15 minutes.
[loudly] You bloody b*stard! Who
the f*ck do you think you are?
A hero.
[upbeat music playing]
[commentator 1] It's Day 5
of the Freedom Series finale.
And the atmosphere here at
the MA Chidambaram Stadium
in Chennai is electric.
Sanjay and Abhinand, India's
openers, walk out to the middle.
A mammoth 318 on the
board for Pakistan.
A seemingly impossible
chase for India,
and a packed house hungry
for a thrilling finish.
[Ravi] Zafar, Pakistan's fiery
pacer, steams in with the new ball,
ready to rip into the
Indian batting lineup.
[crowd cheering]
[commentator 1] Bails went flying!
That was an absolute ripper!
Abhinand is gone. Pakistan...
From now on, I won't do
anything you tell me to.
What will you do?
Are you willing to take
that chance, Arjun?
[inhales sharply]
[phone clatters]
[suspenseful music playing]
[Ravi] Humayun comes
into the attack.
It's a strong appeal from
the Pakistan players!
And he's given out!
Pakistan is pumped up and
next on the Indian lineup
is Arjun Venkatraman,
who walks up to the centre.
[commentator 1] He faces up to
Pakistan's spearhead, Humayun.
And Arjun hammers the
ball down the ground.
[Ravi] There was no stopping
that ball once it hit that bat.
- [muted conversation]
- [commentator 1] It's a sharp bouncer.
That's a great comeback from
Humayun after that shot.
[muted]
[Sanjay] Arjun pushes
for a quick single.
- [crowd cheering]
- [upbeat music playing]
Last ball of the over.
[commentator 1] And he's
clean-bowled him! What a way to go!
[Ravi] It's the Indian
captain coming next to bat.
They desperately need
a partnership now.
A delightful cover drive
races to the boundary.
[crowd cheering]
[Sanjay] Arjun is phenomenal
out there! The old duo is back.
India 134 for 3 at
the lunch of Day 5.
[tense music playing]
- [phone buzzes]
- [clears throat] What happened?
[Dharmesh] The
secretary has signed it.
Check your WhatsApp.
- [tense music continues]
- [exclaims]
[exhales sharply,
breathes raggedly]
But the press release
will take some time.
[Saravanan] Okay. You
have one hour to do it.
What do you want him to do next?
- [train chugging]
- [train horn hoots]
Sir, Saturday is a holiday.
He was last here on Friday.
On Friday?
[suspenseful music playing]
Why did they file the
complaint on Saturday?
May I speak to the teacher
who dropped him on Friday?
She is under suspension.
- And what's her name?
- Kumudha Saravanan.
Kumudha Saravanan.
[suspenseful music playing]
[crowd cheering]
[tense music playing]
Listen to me.
Let my son go.
Please stop it. I
can't take it anymore.
Why are you doing this to me?
What are you
getting out of this?
[laughs maniacally]
And what do you get
when you play well?
Will the world stop
spinning? [laughs]
Have you ever taken a moment and
thought about your success, Arjun?
For one man like you to win,
there are millions of
men who lose every day.
You have no idea.
[tense music playing]
The world doesn't
exist in binary, Arjun.
It's incredibly unreasonable.
Damn right.
f*cking unreasonable.
Why else would a
champion like me
be dancing to the tunes of
a pathetic loser like you?
A loser?
Wow!
You don't even know who I am.
But you have already
decided that I am a loser.
See that's the privilege
your success provides you.
Do you know I didn't go to
see my mother when she died?
I'm privileged, is it?
Do you think I reached this
position in life so easily?
I've sidelined my family, my
wife, my child for cricket.
I've sacrificed
every small happiness
a common man can hope
for, just for cricket.
My struggles, losses,
my sacrifices,
how would a man like
you even understand?
I understand one thing.
Winning and losing are two
sides of the same coin.
Fine. [sighs]
You can be the hero. I'll
agree to be the villain.
But let the villain win today.
Please.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Kumudha] Sara.
[man] Dada.
[Kumudha] Sara.
[suspenseful music fades out]
[temple bell rings]
[commentary on TV]
[Kumudha] My amma's
wedding saree.
I wanted to wear this
saree for the procedure.
- [sombre music playing]
- [chuckles softly]
[commentary continues]
Okay, let's go.
You fixed the procedure today, so
you could see Arjun play, right?
Hmm? Your boyfriend's
under pressure.
Let's watch the game
and then we'll leave.
[commentator 1] Well,
I couldn't agree more.
They rotated the strike
beautifully in that first over,
putting the Pakistani
bowlers under pressure.
This partnership is
crucial for India's lead.
[Ravi] Here comes the first
over of the second session.
And that's a good shot. That's right
off the middle of the bat to the covers.
Off they go for a quick single
and they push hard for a second!
There's a confusion!
What's happening?
- He's gone! Rakesh Sharma is gone.
- [commentator 1] Oh, dear!
What happened here?
[Ravi] Arjun called out for a second
but then pulled out at the last moment.
Rakesh was left stranded
halfway down the pitch.
That is a terrible mix-up.
Rakesh Sharma's gone just when
India were looking so good.
[commentator 1] A huge
blow for India, Ravi.
Rakesh was batting beautifully,
building a crucial partnership...
[discordant music playing]
[echoes] The crowd is
stunned into silence...
[indistinct commentary]
[echoes] Now, Vijesh
Patil walks in to bat.
[Arjun] Life is like a game.
Its beauty lies in the rules.
Rule one, and probably
the only rule.
You have to enter the field and
play. You don't have a choice.
[discordant music playing]
The moment you understand
this, your test begins.
Today is my test.
[ominous music playing]
[commentator 1] Oh
no! That looked nasty!
Arjun goes down immediately.
The ball catches him
flush on the grill.
[Ravi] We're holding our breath here.
The umpires are looking concerned.
This looks serious. The players
are gathering around him.
There's an eerie silence
across Chepauk right now.
And the physio is
rushing out there.
[commentator 1] Looks like
a terrible blow, Ravi.
We can see blood gushing
from Arjun's cheek.
[Ravi] Physio's having a word with
him. A very dramatic few minutes there.
The team management will need
to closely monitor him...
[laughs mockingly] Retired hurt!
- [Ravi continues commenting]
- [scoffs menacingly]
[Ravi] Looks like Arjun will be
going off the pitch for the moment.
Definitely not a
good sign for India.
[Sanjay] India came in with two
set batsmen with brilliant touch.
They had a lot of positives,
but it just took two deliveries, and
everything went upside down for them.
But for the Pakistan side, they
have a strong upper hand right now.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Sanjay] If the Pakistanis maximize
this situation and succeed,
India will be in
deep, deep trouble.
[suspenseful music continues]
Nothing will happen
to your Appa, Adi.
- He's going to be fine.
- This is Appa's last match.
I heard him when he
told Ma about it.
I wanted to be on the ground and
see Appa win the match today.
You are also his fan, right?
I hope you understand
how I feel.
Please, miss. Please
take me there.
- [melancholic music playing]
- [Kumudha sighs]
Look at me, Adi.
I'll take you to the
ground. Don't worry, okay?
Promise, miss?
Simple matter.
[Aditya] Salt water.
[tense music playing]
First, I want the
announcement to happen.
Everything is ready,
but if it gets done, you
won't do what I tell you.
[inhales sharply]
Dharmesh,
I really don't have
anything to lose here.
I'm ready to do
anything I need to.
Just don't try to mess with me.
Look, I won't lie to you.
The minister will definitely
make the announcement today.
And when it happens,
it will be good for us too.
Don't you get that?
This is the end.
- What do you want?
- [Kumudha] Sara.
Where's Bharani? Let's go.
[tense music playing]
Sara, where's
Bharani? Let's leave.
He won't be coming.
You should go home.
Go home? And who's
gonna drop Adi home?
I will drop him.
What are you talking about? What
do you mean you will drop him?
It's his father's last match today.
I'll drop him to the stadium.
Hey! His father's retirement might be
the number one problem on your list.
[emphatically] But I don't care!
Do you get that?
Just go home. Get ready
and get to the clinic.
I've got work to do.
[tense music continues]
Sara.
This is enough. Please.
You should know that the secretary
has signed off on our project.
This is the last one.
Only the announcement is left.
I'll finish this and come.
Sara, we've already lost a
lot because of this project.
Let it go, please.
[Saravanan] You're
right. We've lost a lot.
So what?
[tense music continues]
You want me to give it all up?
I can't do that.
Because now is the time for
me to have the life I wanted.
[whispers] Sara... [sniffles]
This is enough for us.
No, it's not.
This life that you think is enough for
you is not going to be enough for me.
I want it all.
- You can go.
- [Kumudha sniffles]
I won't go without you.
Won't go without me?
Me? [chuckles]
[tense music continues]
I'm not even a man, remember?
You decided to go ahead and
have a child without me.
You went ahead and fixed the time
for the procedure without me.
Sara, the things you are
doing are really disgusting.
This is disgusting?
You seem to think very
highly of yourself.
Are you a nice person?
When I handed you the
phone the other day,
you could have told Adi's
mother the truth, couldn't you?
But you didn't.
You were the one who
made the choice that day.
You didn't realise you
were being selfish then?
"Baby, baby, baby." This mad obsession
that you have. [inhales sharply]
Look at what you've turned me
into with all that pressure.
You want 5 lakh rupees.
He said he wants 50 lakhs.
Another guy asked for 5 crores.
What's the difference between
those criminals and you, Kumudha?
When I couldn't pay the clinic,
you didn't even
care if I was alive.
When Kutty's g*ng beat
me up and took me...
you didn't even
make a phone call.
So whatever is happening, you
are also a reason, Kumudha.
- [tense music playing]
- [inhales sharply]
[Kumudha sobbing]
[sobbing]
[Aditya] Miss. Please
take me to the match.
[Saravanan] Hey, get inside.
Get inside. Hey, come on.
- Please, Uncle. Let me go. Please!
- [Saravanan] Shut up, get in. Go.
- [Aditya] Help me, miss.
- [door slams]
- [Aditya] Help me, please!
- [sobs]
[Aditya] Please let me go.
It didn't hurt when
you slapped me.
But the truth hurts, doesn't
it? Of course, it does.
Have you ever thought about why
I didn't want a child, Kumudha?
You haven't, right?
The way you see me right now, the
whole world sees me as a loser.
[voice breaking] You think my
child should see me like this?
That's it.
You're running late.
You should leave now.
[tense music continues]
[tense music continues]
[Karpagam] Sir.
Do any of their relatives
live around here?
[Karpagam] Kumudha's father has
a house somewhere in Mylapore.
In fact, she goes
there quite often.
They don't have any other
relatives or family, sir.
[suspenseful music playing]
[line ringing]
[crowd cheering]
[phone buzzing]
Pick it up, you b*stard!
[breathing heavily]
[tense music playing]
[phone buzzes]
Dharmesh, I've been
trying to call Arjun.
- He's not taking my calls.
- [Kutty] Not my problem.
If you want your dream
project to be announced,
do what you're told.
Where is Dharmesh?
Forget Dharmesh. Do you know
what happened to Bharani?
Kutty, if anything happens
to Bharani or the project,
you and Dharmesh are dead.
I will go to the police.
My project announcement
has to happen today.
If you want the announcement,
make Arjun do what we want.
If you go to the police,
forget the project.
[Saravanan] Kutty, listen
to me. Kutty! Kutty!
[inhales sharply]
[tense music playing]
[keypad clacks]
[phone buzzing]
[screams in frustration]
[tense music continues]
[ominous music playing]
- [whimpers]
- Adi...
- Say hi to your Appa.
- Hi, Dada.
[Adi grunts]
- [ominous music playing]
- [whimpering]
[Aditya sobbing]
Hi, Dada. [sobs, grunts]
[ominous music continues]
[sobbing]
- [knock on door]
- [man] Dada.
[sobbing]
[music playing faintly]
[line ringing]
[phone buzzing]
[tense music playing]
He's my little baby.
[voice breaking] How
f*cking dare you?
I understand your anger.
But I've already
lost a lot today.
Whatever you do, please
don't try to win today.
I swear to god, I will
k*ll you, b*stard!
I still have your son.
You better not make
me think like you do.
It is best for the both of us
that we don't cross the line.
You cannot go out to play now.
India has to lose.
[sombre music playing]
[phone thuds, clatters]
[sobbing]
[knocking on door]
- [man] Dada!
- [muffled sobbing]
[inhales sharply]
[suspenseful music playing]
[rummaging for phone]
- [line ringing]
- [exhales sharply]
[Padma] Have they dropped Adi?
Say something, Arjun.
I'm to blame for everything.
They are telling me now that I
can't play anymore in this match.
That India should lose.
How am I supposed to choose?
[Padma] Arjun.
[sobbing] Our child...
The child I gave life to...
or cricket, that I love
more than life itself?
[tense music playing]
[crowd cheering]
[Sanjay] India are 308 for
8, and Rajat is on strike.
He goes big! It goes
all the way to six!
[crowd cheering]
[Ravi] Rajat comes down
the track, and that's gone!
- India loses its ninth wicket.
- [spectators groaning]
[Ravi] And Pakistan are
inching towards their victory.
[commentator 1] What a
session this has been!
We can clearly see that the
Pakistan team is impatient
and the captain is not happy.
[Ravi] The tension is thicker than
the Chennai humidity here at Chepauk.
India has just lost Rajat. That's
the ninth wicket down for India.
Can they hold on for a draw?
Or will they push to snatch
victory from the jaws of defeat?
[commentator 1] The
crowd's in a frenzy, Ravi.
They are chanting Arjun's name.
There's a discussion going on...
[phone buzzes]
Hello, scientist. You're
nothing but a big bloody fraud.
You kidnapped the son of India's
best player and locked him up, huh?
Bharani told us everything. Taking
Aditya hostage was a big mistake.
Kutty.
Do you have any clue about
the syndicate's rules?
You never go after the
players or their families.
You did that. Now you're dead.
Hey! How many more people are you
going to sacrifice for your project?
- Vivek, Dharmesh...
- [g*nshots]
...then your friend, Bharani.
Now all you have left is
your beautiful wife, Kumudha.
Don't do it, Kutty. Please.
She's wearing a beautiful
red Kanchipuram saree.
Red is an auspicious
colour, right?
Going to have your child?
Please, Kutty, don't.
Do you want your wife or are you
willing to die for your project?
[tense music playing]
[line ringing]
[voice breaking] Please,
Kumudha, pick up.
[cell phone ringing]
[tense music continues]
[auto engine whirring]
[tense music continues]
It's me you want.
- I still have Arjun's son.
- [brakes screeching]
Just leave Kumudha out of this.
Give me the address right now.
[temple bell rings]
[Kumudha] I am
always there for you.
[temple bell continues ringing]
[pensive music playing]
[phone buzzes]
[sobbing]
S... Sara, Sara, just
listen to me, please.
If we want to live as a family,
this is our last chance.
Don't say anything.
Get the procedure done
and just go away, Kumudha.
[voice breaking] Please
never come back to me.
- [temple bell rings]
- [sombre music playing]
[sobbing]
[music fades out]
[crowd cheering]
[Sanjay] Arjun is walking out.
The whole stadium has erupted.
The Chepauk crowd
roars in approval.
[Ravi] This is
incredible, Sanjay.
Arjun, clearly injured, is walking
out to bat for his country.
What a show of guts!
[commentator 1] You can see the
determination in his eyes, Ravi.
The Indian team is on their
feet, cheering him on.
This is pure drama
unfolding here.
The man is putting his body
on the line for his team.
The crowd goes
absolutely berserk.
[continues faintly] This is what
test cricket is all about...
- [crowd cheering]
- [indistinct commentary]
[uplifting music playing]
[Arjun] On the b*ttlefield, does a
soldier fight to save his country,
or does he fight to
save his own life?
I'm a soldier, sir.
[uplifting music continues]
[Arjun] In this game of life,
whether you're a king
or an ordinary man,
you will be pushed into the
depths of the sea and tested.
That's when you find
out who you really are.
A hero? A villain?
A winner or a loser?
Life sets a price for
every decision you make.
And you have to pay that price.
[Aditya] Dada...
I want to watch you play
on the ground today.
If you would have played aggressively,
we would have definitely won the match.
[sombre music playing]
[Aditya] There was
nobody in third man.
I knew he was gonna
bowl on the leg side.
That's why I tried
the reverse sweep.
[Arjun] You're gonna teach me?
[sombre music fades out]
[ominous music playing]
[laughs hysterically]
[music continues]
I wanted this world to
look at me as a hero.
[unsettling music playing]
- [door rattles]
- But the world thinks
that the man hitting the ball
with the bat is the real hero.
You know even my wife thinks that
your father is the real hero.
[loudly] For
everyone I am a zero!
[unsettling music continues]
Your father messed up all of our lives
and he chose cricket over everything.
Look at the stadium.
Look at how they are celebrating
that m*rder*r over there.
[crowd cheering]
[Sanjay] India needs
four runs to win.
Arjun has put everything on the line
and walked out to bat for his country.
[inhales sharply] What do I do?
What am I supposed to do?
How can a father decide to
do what your father has done?
- [Kumudha] He'll never give up on cricket.
- My appa will never give up on cricket.
[Kumudha] And cricket
will never give up on him.
[thuds]
[commentator 1] It's a reverse
sweep! He smashed it! It's sky bound!
And it goes for a big, big six!
With that, India win the Freedom Series
in the most dramatic fashion imaginable.
- [melancholic music playing]
- [crowd cheering]
[crowd cheering]
[sombre music playing]
[Kumudha] We should love
only our own children?
[Arjun, crying] I'm sorry,
Adi. I didn't have a choice.
[sombre music continues]
[Saravanan] Winning and losing
are two sides of the same test.
In every victory,
there lies a defeat.
And in every defeat, a victory.
[sombre music playing]
[woman on TV] The government of
Tamil Nadu has announced the launch
of a groundbreaking hydro
fuel project in the state,
helmed by the visionary
scientist Dr. Saravanan from MIT.
This will have a dramatic
effect on air quality... [fades]
[sombre music continues]
[music fades out]
