Nair, good news
We have secured your town tender
Rs 200 crore contract with
a mere 3 lakhs bid difference...
...has been secured by Senthil Nathan,
our owner of 'Ganesh constructions'
A Rs 200 crore road contract
and we missed out for just 3 lakhs...
...to 'Ganesh constructions'
We need that contract
no matter what it takes
Boss, from this moment you can
be assured the contract is ours
He should not be allowed in here
Bash him and get me that contract
Where is your boss?
Who are you?
What do you want?
- Hello
- I'm engineer Kumar speaking
Someone has intercepted our staff
vehicle and are threatening us
Who are they?
What do they want?
I have no idea who they are
or what they want
Come soon, sir!
- Where are you now?
- 15 kms from our place
I'll be right there
Catch them!
Don't spare them
Don't think you can escape
- Saravanan?
- Hi! Senthil
- You...are you alright?
- I'm fine
When did you come from the U.S?
How did you come here?
I was coming from the airport,
I saw th*gs chasing women
How could I ignore that?
So thrashed them black and blue
How is it you are so trim?
If I put on weight, I won't look good
If you become thin, it won't suit you!
- Welcome to India
- Thank you
These people work for me
I got an 'S-O-S' call from them
- But you rescued them before I did
- Had he not come in time...?
Now that he's back
it's time to rejoice!
Where is your beautiful wife,
Ganga Senthil Nathan?
Right here
Ganga...?
Where is she?
She was right here
You gave me such a fright
Last year, when you introduced
her to me, she seemed so quiet
Has she become
so mischievous now?
It's her mischievousness that I like
- Come, let's go home
- I'll follow you in my car
My mother is unhappy about us
getting married without her consent...
...and our Vettaiyapuram trip
You must only convince her
I'll go and see your father
Sir, if I am a renowned
psychiatrist today...
...you are the sole
reason for that
You brought up this orphan
as your own son
I can never forget that
Though you are not with us now
you will always live in our hearts
Ma, greetings
Come Saravanan...
so you found time to visit us?
After your last year visit
you didn't even make a call!
I don't care if you are
a sought after doctor
Don't worry, I am not going to
leave India for quite sometime
I will make you all happy
and I will also be happy
'You will make everyone here happy
But who will solve my problem?'
I will solve your problem
Don't you worry
How did you pluck this
thought out of my mind?
That is his speciality
Looking at your face
he will read your mind
He is not just a doctor
He is also an expert mind reader
Otherwise how can he treat
confused psychiatric patients?
You don't interrupt
That's no big deal
There is nothing that can't
be achieved through practice
Why do you think Senthil will face
danger in this contract he has taken?
How would you
know the details?
I wanted to reunite his father's family
by getting him married to his cousin
But if they find out he fell in love
and got married, like his father did
...they might do
anything to this girl
You may laugh my fears off!
None of you know about Akilandeswari
Even her brothers are frightened of her
She is such a terror
She'll surely harm Ganga
and take her revenge
- I won't stay in their house
- Then where will you stay?
I've bought Vettaiyapuram palace
I intend staying there
What, ma?
As a kid I've heard lots about that palace
It is very dangerous to stay there
For nearly 50 years, that palace
has remained unsold
Are you mad to
buy that palace?
Don't worry about Senthil or Ganga
I will ensure nothing happens to them
I shall leave for
Vettaiyapuram today
I'll 1st meet your relatives
and pacify them
I'll also enquire about
the palace thoroughly
After that, let us decide whether
these 2 should stay there or not
'Rajinikanth
[Saravanan)'
'Prabhu
[Senthil Nathan)'
'Jyothika
[Ganga)'
'Vadivel
[Murugesha)'
'Nayanthara
[Durga)'
'Akilandeswari House'
Dear, dear!
Have you ever
called me lovingly?
You sound like an alarm
What is so urgent?
Look! People and cars!
They are coming here
Come on in, sir
He is a big textile businessman
They've come to seek your
eldest daughter Priya's hand
My elder sister Akilandeswari
takes all decisions in this house
Though Priya is our daughter
my sister raised her
I'll be back
I'll just ask my sister
Kasturi married my fiancé, but now
she has buried the 30 year animosity
She herself has asked my daughter
to be married to her son Senthil
I decided he is
my son-in-law
Okay, sister
Where are they?
They heard what your sister said
All the cars swerved an 'about turn'
It is 8 years since
we got married
In all those I have not seen
anyone from your uncle's family
They parted ways
This wedding will reunite them
You'll see all of them
Bride groom, come soon

We don't know when and how
our son-in-law will arrive
Who let that bullock cart in?
Who is that?
Stop, stop!
I say, stop!
You are royally ignoring
such a respectable man!
- Don't I look like a man?
- No, no
Who are you?
You are alighting from a bullock cart
when we are expecting our son-in-law
- From Chennai, Mrs Kasturi's...
- Son-in-law!
We expected you
to arrive by flight
And here you come
humbly in a bullock cart
Look, I'm not
your son-in-law
That's true
Not before the wedding
Are you being funny?
I'm not your son-in-law
That is, I've come...
Well, you are here now
Oh, how do I explain?
I'm Senthil Nathan's
friend, Saravana
Before I could explain
the line got disconnected
'My son is expected to arrive
on road contract work...'
'...and embarrassed to stay there
will give umpteen excuses'
Your mother called us
a week ago and informed us
My sister has taken Priya
to the temple after briefing us
So dear Mop-u [groom)
reel-spinning stop-u!
'Oh! Freebie fellow'
What are you looking at?
Light the crackers
Where is our son-in-law?
My wife is also missing
Excuse me!
I am terrified of crackers
For me too!
Where is she?
- I feel you are like my sister
- I also feel you are like my brother
What bloody feeling?
Mopu, this is not
your fiancee!
She is already
married to me
'It is true we have been married
for 8 years and have no children'
'So don't shift your feelings
towards him, Swarna'
What? You and Swarna have
no children even after 8 years?
He read my mind!
Good Lord!
You look simply gorgeous
Enough! I am telling you
once again, she is my wife
Son-in-law, if you talk to your uncle
he'll keep talking the whole day
Come here
'I burst crackers for him
but he drops a b*mb on me'
'He is praising her too much'
I will praise her!
Son-in-law, the bullock cart
journey must've been tiring
Go, freshen up and rest
What, what is the matter?
Brother, let him not stay here
- Why?
- We don't need him here
If you let him in, it will cost
quite a few lives, be careful
- Don't blabber
- Am I blabbering?
'He is calling me over
Did he hear what I just said?'
You don't like me
staying here, isn't it?
On my way here, I enquired
about Vettaiyapuram palace
Everyone was scared and
no one was prepared to help me
So?
If you take me to the palace
I won't stay here
- Otherwise...
- Otherwise?
I will stay only here
Oh no! I'll take you there
But you should do what you say
- I will say only what I do
- Both are the same
Shall we go?
Go inside...go!
Even the gate
gives me the creeps
This is Vettaiyapuram palace
You've seen it, head back home
- Take your hands off
- Why? Do you want to ride in?
- Come inside
- Where?
- Shhh! Let's go in
- I won't step in there
I swore right there
I won't enter this place
Forcing someone older
than you, is not etiquette!
If I had told you, you wouldn't
have come...that is why
- No respect for me?
- That's right
Why show respect to
a cowardly old donkey!?
- I won't, even if you abuse me!
- Who stays here?
- I won't tell
- Swarna!
A gardener and
his grand daughter!
Really? Then why
are you so scared?
- They don't stay inside the palace
- But we shall go in
You may go in!
I'll go back home
Why is that rope and
stick hanging there?
- Painting work is in progress
- Are there painters inside?
Only 1 fellow named Gopal
He has been painting for a month
for a month inside courageously
But we are scared to go in?
He is from another village
If he knew, he'd be torn to bits
It is so dark in here
even in broad daylight
Murugesh, do you know
the history behind this palace?
Does STD mean history?
Palace inmates fled 50 years ago
Now some fool has bought it
and is having it renovated
Can what is inside be hidden
by painting the façade?
- Let us go now
- Okay, let us go
Not inside
but outside
Look, an elephant
is lying dead here
- That's a buffalo
- Oh! Buffalo?
What do you
think is inside?
- Ghosts, they say
- Lunatics!
- Evil spirits, they say
- Cowards!!
A 30-feet snake,
since 30 years!
- That is why, that Gopal...
- A snake...really...?
He doesn't work here
beyond 4:00 p.m
One day he decided to be brave
That day, things started breaking
suddenly and balancing precariously
Ever since, he leaves the place
by 4:00 or 4:30 p.m
Why should a guy with
so much fear work alone?
Mopu is missing?
Mop-u! Mop-u!!
He ditched me!
Oh God!
He left me alone
How will I go out?
I need to go 1 Km from here
Gopal, take me along
Where are you?
He came with me,
and ditched me, m*rder*r!
A tiger!
A lion!
Keep quiet
Dearest...
Brother Murugesh, look at me
Say something...please
Didn't I ask you not to take
him there? Just look at him now
He looks like one of those big shots
with a frozen smile when arrested
What do we do now?
Sister?
Why is it crowded here?
What happened
and to whom?
- Greetings, I am...
- Where is the groom?
Where is my
son-in-law-to-be?
When they said, you came
here in a bullock cart...
...I knew that you
were not my son-in-law
Because his son would
never come in this manner
You said it right
I had a tough time convincing these
people, that I was not their son-in-law
But you got it right
of your own accord
I really appreciate it
The groom has decided to buy
the palace in this village
That's why he sent me ahead
I am his friend
I've been raised in his house
My name is Saravanan
Impossible! I won't allow him
to buy Vettaiyapuram palace
It spells danger
not just for him
But my daughter too,
who will marry him
Well, maaa...
I don't know how to say this
Marrying your daughter...
- There he is!
- He resembles his dad
You? Son-in-law?
Priya, come here
You wanted to see your fiancé
He has arrived
Come and see him
- Who's that?
- She is Ganga, my wife
His mother wanted him to
marry your adopted daughter...
but due to certain circumstances,
Senthil had to marry Ganga
What is this?
People from erudite families
asked for my daughter's hand...
I didn't agree
and you let us down
Marriages are pre-ordained!
How can we control it?
How mature!
At such an young age
you have Avvaiyar's foresight
- Shake hands
- Let it be
My marriage definitely
would have disappointed you
But I've come here
only to see all of you
Forgive me
- We shall leave now
- Where?
I've bought Vettaiyapuram palace
We shall be staying there
You mean that palace?
Please don't
Why?
I went just to take a look
and I got so spooked
If you buy it,
you'd be inviting trouble
Uncle, you are old-fashioned
This is what you'll believe
Listen to me, Senthil
Just like my uncle, you too
married outside our family
But I won't let you stay
knowing there's danger there
Uncle, before coming here
Ganga and I visited that palace
Nothing is scary over there
like the way uncle said
Don't mistake me, I've been
a gardener in that palace for 40 years
Even I've not stepped
inside that palace
Please think twice
before you decide
Only because people believe
there's some problem...
...I've bought that property worth
Rs 50 crores for Rs 5 crores
But I don't subscribe to your fear
I want my wife Ganga to own
a palace instead of just a house
That's why I bought it
In case of any problems
we'll deal with it
- You don't worry
- Go stay there
By all means go
and stay in that house
Why are you stunned?
I objected to him
buying that house
Are you wondering why I am
asking him to stay there?
Not only them, until Senthil's contract
gets over, all of us will stay there
Oh God!
If both of them stay there and
something happens to them...
...since he didn't marry my daughter
we planned this despite the danger
This is what his mother
is bound to think
So all of us will go and stay there
until everything is resolved
- Correct
- Thanks, bless us
No, Senthil
- Why?
- Not now
Complete the contract, then
we can all get her blessings
"Salutations to Ganapati
Wisest of all"
"Abundantly glorious
Please protect us"
"May your blessings be
upon this ritual"
'Prayers won't be
effective in this palace'
'I have come along
only to see your end'
'Now that you have come
just watch what happens'
Senthil Nathan, we are not staying
only because my sister asked us to
I don't want you 2 to stay alone
and face any problems
So out of concern I agreed
We'll stay here till the end
only on 1 condition
Tell me, uncle
For no reason whatsoever, should
anyone go to the stairway behind
Specifically no one should enter
the room in the southern corner
When you've decided to be with us
won't we comply to your request?
We won't even peep there
Right, uncle?
Now I am happy
'Oh God! What will I do?'
'Why do they buy trouble
and decorate it further?'
'I shouldn't stay alone in the house
I should always be with the others'
Murugesha!
Such a beautiful name
Why do you call it in
such a scary manner?
'Why do you create trouble?'
'I have a sore throat'
I forgot to ask, what is
your astrological star?
- Why?
- Just tell me
Mrigaseerisham
Only one in million
are blessed with this star
You are lucky
Ghosts love this star!
Lift...careful!
Tilt to that side
Bye, sir
Does it take so many
people to lift one cot?
This is not any ordinary cot?
Antique, made of Burma teak
It takes more than
Bring your wife
and come quickly
Let's visit the family deity
It is your father's temple
"In a bullock cart with the groom
towards the river we roam..."
Why are all of you
in a bullock cart?
He is a doctor from the U.S
He likes to travel in a bullock cart
Greetings
Mercedes Benz is fine
But this bullock cart
has a charm of its own
Well said!
Gardener, what are
you doing here?
My grand daughter is
flying kites with all the kids
- So I am here
- Who is she?
That girl in a white sari
with black stripes
I flew kites
at a very young age
- Are you ready?
- Ready!
"Little egret...soar high
Jacana...flit and fly"
"Jungle myna...glide high
Peacock...in the blue sky"

Waterhen...whiz by"

Use 'carpe diem' signature"
"To your heart's desire

"This breeze kindly savor
For it blows in our favor"

but 'bird of prey' kite in flight"

can win over any swollen head"

Moor hen...take wing and fly"

Peacock...in the blue sky"
"If you forget to include
a 'thank you, dude'"
"...your sense of gratitude
is a sorry attitude"
"Kite bobs and bows its head"
"Thank the swaying thread
w[e)aving overhead"
"Not entered school...ever
Nor gone to college...never"
"...but a kite flying spree
is our only degree"
"A book is not our mentor"
"Life's lessons as monitor
is this kite our instructor"
"Fenced, the wind cannot be
Like spirited kites let's fly free"
"Sarus crane...sail high
Purple coot...flutter by"

Tickled pink in flight"
"This kite darts in defiance
A tumultuous performance"
"It's our Super star's kite
A sooper-dooper sight"
Swami, this is
my nephew, Senthil Nathan
He has bought
Vettaiyapuram palace
Why is everyone scared, when
the palace is spoken about?
What is there?
What happened?
About 100 to 150 years ago
King Vettaiyan lived in that palace
He used to make a peculiar sound
that announced his arrival
Lakalakalakalakalaka
He was a brutally cruel man
who always got what he desired
Once when he had gone to
Vijayanagaram in Andhra Pradesh
he met a dancer
called Chandramukhi
He was lured by her beauty and
wanted to make her, his mistress
But Chandramukhi
did not agree
Because she already loved
a dancer called Gunasekaran
Despite knowing that, the king
abducted her against her wishes
Without the king's knowledge...
...Chandramukhi made Gunasekaran
stay behind the palace, met him secretly
The King came
to know about this
On an auspicious day for Goddess
Durga, in the banquet hall of the palace
...the king k*lled Gunasekaran in front
of her eyes and burnt Chandramukhi alive
Chandramukhi had an untimely death
Her soul wanted to avenge the king
The king knew about this and brought
sorcerers from all over the country...
...and conducted prayers and sealed
Chandramukhi's ashes in an urn
He kept the urn in a room
at the southern most corner
...of the palace and locked it
After some years
the king also died
But Chandramukhi's soul is still waiting
in that room to avenge the king
It is said that there is
a king cobra there too
Nobody knows
if it is true or not
This is the time the ghosts
come out for a stroll
They have left me alone
Is it a bedroom?
It looks like a play ground
I accepted this
room in style
Now my heart races
while I try to sleep here
Who is that?
Oh God!
I didn't do it
Not me
It is me, Murugesha
Why did you come
at this unearthly hour?
I couldn't bear
my wife's snores
At night she is
'a devil who walks'
And like a ghost
when she sleeps
After hearing that priest
I have lost my sleep
Let us hug together
and sleep here
- No
- I expected that
Are you not a doctor?
- Please clarify my doubts
- What Murughesha?
Do ghosts exist?
Has anyone seen them?
Should I believe it or not?
I want to know this
Why do you turn so often?
It looks like the priest
was less scary!
Do ghosts exist?
Are there any symptoms?
There are some
typical indications
- Like what?
- A dog howling at a distance
I can really
hear a dog howl
- Did I ask you to identify?
- No
When the breeze blows wild,
the trees will sway
...and the windows will rattle
I can hear the rattle too
- Did I ask you?
- No
A faint smell of jasmine...
- Jasmine!
- Why are you shouting?
Okay, in the wind will drift
the fragrance of jasmine
Yes, I can smell
the fragrance of jasmine
- Did I ask?
- No
Just hear the story,
no cross questions
If you do...what is this?
- Adam's apple
- I will pluck it out
Then...
What?
- Whaaat?!
- Anklet
Oh God! I can hear
the anklet tinkle also
- Did I ask you?
- No
Then a smoke like image
in a white attire will appear
It has appeared
- Where?
- There
- Why do you laugh like a woman?
- Not me, ghost is laughing
- Where?
- There
Gone...my dignity
You mistook my grandpa's dhoti
swinging in the wind for a ghost
- What have you studied?
- Scared?
- Me?
- Yes
Murugesha and I were
rehearsing for a drama
What is your name?
- Why?
- Just to know
- Durga
- Oh! My God
- What?
- Sweet name
Thank you
What an arrogant girl
I'll take care of her later
It's all because of him
He damaged my image
before a beautiful girl
Having done that
see how he is sleeping
Stop it!
Shut up!!
What is this?
Early morning can't you find
any other place to teach music?
Such a nuisance
At nights you walk with anklets on,
laugh, frighten us, and ruin our sleep
Early morning you sing like a crow,
waking up all those who are asleep
This is not right
I came here to rest
I have lost my peace
Kids, why do you scream like this?
Go, watch a good movie on TV
Go...good
- Look here, Darga...
- Durga!
If you want to teach music, go to
a temple or a hall or river side
Not here! My friend has bought
this palace shelling out crores
Is this palace
your music teaching place?
No, change your
location tomorrow
If I hear this sound again, I'll pack
you and your grandfather away
Look, whatever you do,
music class will be held here
From tomorrow
it will be more noisy
If you've decided to leave
this house, what can I do?
If I have to forego my music
I don't want to live here
Son, she's an orphan
A bit short fused
But she won't hold
any grievances!
Until you leave this place
I'll ask her not to conduct class here
- I beg of you
- Thank you
Don't
You may be a modern girl and
might want to see what's up there
But in such matters, it is
prudent to listen to elders
Come down
Who is that?
You?
What are you doing here at this time?
I couldn't sleep so I thought
I'd come here for some fresh air
Love?
- Are you in love?
- How do you know?
It is obvious
from your face
That day when your father asked
you to come and see your fiance...
...you were unperturbed and calm
I knew right then you were in love
Tell me, who he is?
Viswanath! Dance professor
He lives over there
- I see! Good selection
- Do you know him?
I know him, I also know you
made him stay in that house
- Have you professed your love?
- Yes
- What did he say?
- He asked my father to meet him
- Didn't you tell your father?
- I am scared
Then how will
your love succeed?
- What's your father's name?
- Kandasamy
Your daughter is in love
and you are fast asleep?
- Hey Moustache!
- Oh God...don't
- Why are you here at this hour?
- Nothing...fresh air
Fresh air?
Get lost
- Why are you here at this time?
- Alliance
- Alliance?
- Okay, research
- Research?
- Love
driven out of the house, isn't it?
I said this on the 1st day
You are late
'He is interested in that girl
My wife is saved'
A bachelor has a single worry
but a married man has 1000 worries
Look here
What an aim!
Grandpa, it's 9:00 a.m
and no one has come as yet
- They won't come
- Why not?
Bommi is here
Where are the others?
The uncle who
scolded you yesterday...
...he gave us money and
told us not to come for class
He asked us to go
and watch a good movie
Until he goes back it is better
not to conduct music class
Durga!
Because you didn't
like me teaching music...
...you stopped them
from attending the class?
You can only give them money
and send them to watch films
But can you buy music
with your money?
I already did!
- My harmonium?
- I bought all these instruments
Except this box
Your grandpa gave it
free of cost
Music is like Saraswathy
It should be inherited
Arrogant people like you will not
understand its importance ever
You will never understand!
- Look here, Darga
- Durga!
Don't curse me,
it might come true
- You can take it
- This one?
I'll never touch this harmonium
after it has been given to you!
"Even Javadhu hills so steady
dance to my tune, dear Bommi"
"Hear my song that idolizes
Lord of dance, my precious"
"Hearts zing to sing
my song, my darling"
"Is there any place at all
without His song, my doll?"
"As a gem is His third eye
I sing this as a lullaby"
"I captured millions
with this divine essence"
"Tiny little buds bloomed
softly opened and plumed"
"River breeze attuned
The florets perfumed"
"The fragile baby flower
to the rhythmic shower"
"...moves in measure
to tune and meter"
"A song should make you dance
Daze you in a hypnotic trance"
"A song should captivate
Be a theme to celebrate"
"Hearing this tune reverberate
earth will orbit to congratulate"
"Swinging a cradle to and fro
A mother's lullaby Aa-ri-raa-rO"
"Isn't it an endearing solo?"
"When 'he-she' couple[t) set
a banquet for love to whet"
"Isn't it a romantic duet?"
"Relax, six senses combined
Who here is the Mastermind?"
"Open up your think tank
Add more light to that bank"
"'I-know-it-all', there isn't any
in our world inhabited by many"
"Even Javadhu hills so steady
dance to my tune, dear Bommi"
"Hear my song that idealizes
Lord Shiva, my precious"
"Hearts zing to sing
my song, my darling"
"Is there any place at all
without His song, my doll?"
"As a gem is His third eye
I sing this as a lullaby"
"I captured zillions
with this divine essence"
Fantastic! You sang so well
You even made us dance
whether we knew to or not!
He does everything
with his special style
What do you
think of my friend?
At a time, he can answer 10 different
questions, posed by 10 different people
He's not just ordinary
He's truly extraordinary
What are you watching?
Go inside
- What are you admiring?
- Super dress
A wise man does not
require advice
A capable man does not
require advertisement
Through your song
you taught me 'et al'
Forgive me
A message for
Dr Saravanan
You've got an e-mail
- Any good news?
- Sad...sad...sad news for me
- What happened?
- One of your patients is serious
- Wants you to return a.s.a.p
- Is that bad news?
Is it not? You said you will
stay here for a month
But within 6 days you
have been called back
Senthil, a doctor can wait
for the patient...
...but a patient should
not wait for the doctor
- I'm leaving
- Saravanan?
Any problem, 1 call
Saravana will appear
- Sir, I am leaving
- Really? Hold this
'You made my day!'
'Instead of staying 1 month
you are leaving in 6 days'
- Take care
- Correct
You are happy 'instead of staying
But I finished a job that
would take 6 months, in 6 days
- What?
- Priya!
We spoke about love that night
Have you informed your dad?
Love?
Doctor, you left behind
your specs in my room
- In your room?
- I'll discuss that later
Let me talk
about Priya's love
How dare you talk about
my daughter's love to me?
Who else should
I talk to then?
Can I announce it to the entire press
and media, and not to you?
How can you fall in love
with a complete stranger?
You get hyper
for no reason, sir
I said she was in love
Did I say with me?
Priya is in love with
dance professor Viswanath
Yes, Viswanathan is a good boy
A right match for your daughter
The other night I was
talking about this to Priya
Next day I talked
to Viswanathan
With your full consent, he says
he is prepared to marry Priya
So think about it
Don't lose a good alliance
based on false prestige
Even if you stand upside down
you won't find such a good boy
Once the marriage is fixed
send me an invitation
- If required, your second daughter...
- I'll surely invite you, please leave
- Really?
- Really
I forget someone...
yes...Swarna
'I won't let you talk to my wife
even at the risk of my life'
'Look at his dress'
'He is wearing
his shirt inside out'
'It is better to
wear it in tatters'
Is it your dad's property?
It is my money,
it is my dough
The shirt I buy I may tear it,
I may not tear it, what will you do?
'This maid's hip is like
a hot stove and she flaunts it too!'
'What will I do?'
'Tonight, somehow,
I'll savor her like chicken'
'Real hot stuff!'
- This is too much
- What?
Too much...Swarna
The chicken...
I didn't get him chicken
So he is complaining!
You see...
Rajathi Raja, Arunachala,
Padaiyappa, Thalapathi, Manna...
Please take leave!
Don't break a happy family
You may leave
- What did he say?
- He wants us to thrive on chicken
- What?
- A small story
Tell me and leave
This guy cannot even get up
but he desires 9 wives
Saravanan, wait
Ganga, I forgot to tell you
Shall I take leave?
You said 1 month and
you are leaving in 6 days
Speech and deed
don't match!
You think disease
comes with a notice?
- What is all this?
- To eat on your way
- So much?
- Eat to your tummy's content
Do you know what is the best
medicine in the world?
- What?
- Food
If you eat within limits, it is medicine
If you over-eat, it is poison
- Darga?
- Durga
Wherever I am, I make
people happy and cheerful
I behaved the same way with you
but I kind of over stepped...
If you feel so, forget it
But don't forget me
Bye!
May I...?
Sorry...bye
Durga, come here
I want to talk to you in private
- What, madam?
- No formalities, call me Ganga
Okay Ganga...what?
I have a lot of
old books with me
I want to keep them
in the room at the back
Will you come with me?
AiyaiyO! Even my grandpa
hasn't stepped in there
He has asked me
also not to go there
Because that is
Chandramukhi's room
Old people have that fear
Why should we fear?
Am I not with you?
Let's go
Okay, don't come
But I'll go alone
Wait...wait
What about the folks at home?
They have all gone
to meet Viswanathan
- No one is at home
- Then...I'll also come
I didn't love your daughter
for her beauty or status
I lost my parents
at a young age
But I wanted to live in a joint family,
so I accepted your daughter's love
That is quite
understandable
I like the groom
So do you
We have only
seen the groom
Shouldn't we check auspicious
dates for the ceremony?
Sister, today is a good day
We can finalize the date today itself
My daughter's engagement should
not be held in a tiled ordinary house
It should be conducted in the fort
and in an ostentatious manner
I am glad you've agreed
Let's do it your way
I think this is that room
Why are there so many
amulets tied here?
prayers were conducted
Chandramukhi's spirit
is locked up here
Do you believe
these stories?
Then?
I think this room has valuable
jewels and diamonds
To prevent theft, these stories
must have been circulated
If I get this room's key
I'll open and show you
There's no key, it is lost
But my grandpa
once told me...
...that the key's mould
is with a blacksmith
We will ask the blacksmith
to make the key immediately
You own the house
You tell him
If you want, I'll get
the key for you
I will order right away
Ganga?
What?
Here is the key to
Chandramukhi's room
Ganga?
What?
- Please don't open this door
- Why?
The guy who made the key
vomited blood and died
If this is the end for
the guy who made the key
...imagine my plight!!
I'm scared
When I placed the order
yesterday, he was drunk
A guy who drinks 24x7 will die
whether he makes a key or not
Our good fortune he died
after making the key
Be brave
Don't confuse yourself
You say the old man died because
he made a key for the southern room
But Ganga who went into
the room is perfectly fine
You are right
Trust me! The old man died
because of liver cirrhosis
You may ridicule me
Don't know what more
is in store for all of us?
'Om Kreem...Kali...holy!'
Holi? Isn't it
a Marwari festival?
'Om kreem...pachak...pachak!'
'Jai Jambulingam'
Please call the ghost gently or else
it might leave its mark on us!
'Om! Kreem! Kachakachakacha!'
Hey! Wait...come with me
Patience! Why is he jumping?
- Go calmly
- Okay...okay
If we trust him and go in,
can we come back in 1 piece?
Already my hands
are shivering
Whatever happens,
don't let go of your courage!
'In a pure Dhanyasi tune,
for my sake, sing a song'
Who is that?
'It's me, Chandramukhi'
Help! Save me
This thin fellow has provoked
all that was lying silent and still
Dear! Someone is
knocking at our door
Why have all of you
come at this hour?
The maid saw something
and got scared
Come soon
Don't be scared
We are all here
What happened?
She saw a ghostly figure
with anklets running
So she got scared
Ghost!
Nonsense
Dear!
- What?
- Look
- How did this break?
- On its own
On its own?
Who appointed you
in this house?
Durga spoke to madam
and got us this job
Durga?
Ghosts and devils are fictitious
There are no such things
Don't believe any of it
- Where are you coming from?
- I heard some sound, so...
Okay, all of you leave
Hello! I am Senthil speaking
Has Mr Saravanan come?
I am calling for the 7th time
Are you not able to locate him?
When we had no
problem, he was with us
Now we are facing lots of problems
We need him urgently here
Wherever he is, give him
my message and ask him to come
Ganga, what happened?
- My sari caught fire on its own
- How will it catch fire on its own?
I don't know
It just caught fire suddenly
- She was the only one with me
- Only she was with you?
- I have no idea
- Okay...okay
Save me!
Who?
Who is that?
Saravanan!
It is you!!
He seems to be very violent
Did you mean him?
Why didn't you
lock him in?
Do you want to lock me up?
Who the hell are you?
Have you forgotten him, uncle?
My friend, Saravanan
Doctor? I don't know any one
I'm afraid of
everyone in this house
Don't know what
they will do and when!
Last time he was in a modern attire
Now he's with a head gear!
- What?
- Nothing...a small treatment
What is with this attire?
Where were you?
How many times
to call you?
When you called, I was at Sabarimalai
When I reached Pambai, I came to know
And I immediately flew down
Is he the problem?
I know he is a hyper guy
The problem is
not with him
'Has he come again?'
'Staying for 6 days
he reduced half my life span'
'Don't know for how long
he'll be here this time'
Don't worry, I won't stay for long
But I'll leave after fixing all of you
- Right?
- Right
- How are you?
- No!
- She is fine! If anything goes wrong...
- I will take care, Murugesha
You will take care?
Go inside!
Even if you change your get up,
you don't change your character
Suspicious person
The problem is not with
anyone in this house
It's the gardener's
granddaughter, Durga
For the gardener's
granddaughter, Durga?
Where is your
respected wife Ganga?
Ganga?
Where did she go?
Ganga?
Priya! Priya
- What, brother?
- Where are you, dear?
What happened to Priya?
- Priya, where are you?
- Check there
Don't!
- Sound is from this room
- From here?
If you close this door
she will suffocate and die
Senthil, come
What happened, Priya?
I went upstairs, I felt
someone was following me
When I started running,
it chased me
In my fear I ran into
the last room and hid myself
Someone locked
the door from outside
I don't know who did it
- Why did you go upstairs?
- I went searching for Ganga
Who told you
she was upstairs?
Durga
Durga? But she knew
I went to shower
Why did she say so?
Saravanan,
this is our problem
Whoever is doing this...
what do they want?
Why are they doing this?
I don't understand
Do you?
When you and Ganga
decided to buy this palace...
I was reminded of a book
written by someone long ago
I read that book and
got a lot of information
Only after ensuring there was nothing
in the palace as others feared...
I didn't prevent or stand
against your decision
Last time, I convinced everyone
that I was also afraid of ghosts
After everyone was asleep, I went up
a few times, to see the king's door
There were lots of
amulets hanging on it
I didn't want to disturb that
and dent the belief of elders
Without opening
the door, I returned
I was sure there was nothing to fear
So I left when I got the e-mail
But from the day Chandramukhi's room
was opened, this problem has started
Saravanan?
As long as Saravanan is here
why do you fear?
'Await Chandramukhi's appearance'
Right from the beginning when
I cautioned not to buy this palace
...Senthil didn't listen to me
The problem is only
becoming worse
And everyone is
suspecting you
Saravanan is the only one
who can solve these problems
That is why Senthil Nathan
has called him here
Darga...Darga
Not Darga...Durga
"For a while...to flirt in style
Can't you be lovey-dovey?"
"That time...at sunset prime
won't love drizzle gently?"
"For a while...to flirt in style
Can't you be lovey-dovey?"
"That time...at sunset prime
won't love rain indulgently?"
"For a while...to flirt in style
can't I cross my limit?"
"This moment in time...sublime
Can't it stretch to the summit?"
"For a while...to flirt in style
Can't you be lovey-dovey?"
"That time...at sunset prime

"Eyes sparkle
Hands manifold, out-do"
"World is wonderful
Because of you!"
"I bring the best in you
In me you are beautiful"
"We both as a duo
make life meaningful"
"Like laureate, Kannadasan the poet
our love will last beyond eternity"
"Like the classic, Kambar's Tamil epic
forever we will be hale and healthy"
"You as the summer rain
Me as the green field"
"It's harvest-reign
Let's both yield"
"For a while...to flirt in style
Can't we be lovey-dovey?"
"That time...at sunset prime

"Eyes that eye to entice
Lips that clasp to sieze"
"Daily will it exercise

"You charm everyone
With love you rule"
"Superstar...A1
You are incomparable"
"Unable to disguise or tell lies
even my desires often stumble"
"Zillions admire you, eulogize
Future yearns to be hospitable"
"You are my territory
I belong to you"
"Not imaginary
Isn't this true?"
"For a while...to flirt in style
Can't you be lovey-dovey?"
"That time...at sunset prime
won't love cascade tenderly?"
"For a while...to flirt in style
can't I cross my limit?"
"This moment in time...sublime
Can't it stretch to the summit?"
Who let you inside?
Now look...if you come here
...without permission,
I will kick you out of this town
Get lost
Durga...Durga
- Who...?
- Chandramukhi
Why didn't you come
to meet me tonight?
Since you didn't come
I've come looking for you
I know who you are!
Get up from there
What do you want now?
Just checking whether
you are at home
At this time of night,
where else will I be?
That's how an ideal girl
should behave!
I'm happy that
you are back
But you shouldn't come
when grandpa is not here
Whatever it is, we can
discuss in the morning
Now off you go...GO!
Get lost!
"Accept me, oh Lord!
My life is yours totally"
"Let both our breath
mingle intimately"
"Come and ravish me"
Saravanan
Hello...get up
Ganga!
Doctor, why are you here?
Did you sleep here last night?
I came in late
after the concert
- So I slept here
- What concert?
Carnatic, Bharatanatyam, Kuchupudi
Is anyone learning to dance upstairs?
No...no one
They learn music from Durga
That too, only during the day
Who can be
dancing at night?
Then last night,
in the southern room...
...who was singing and
dancing with anklets?
- With anklets?
- Yes
- Did you hear it, really?
- I told you, I heard it myself
I tried to open the door
but it was bolted from inside
Bolted?
No chance
After I opened the door
who could have locked it?
Besides, no one goes there
- Is it?
- Then?
Then was the song and
dance my imagination?
I will drink my tea later, come
Let's go up and check it out
- Oh God! I won't come
- Why?
They say it is because I went there
that all these problems have cropped up
I am with you,
why be scared?
Come
I'll drink this tea later
Come...come
- See, door is not locked
- Yes, it is open
Is this the Vettaiyapuram King's room?
Seems like he was a romantic
Money alone is not enough
Who is that?
Is he the king
of Vettaiyapuram?
He looks evil
Where is his courtesan's room?
- Who?
- I mean his mistress
Chandramukhi?
Come, I will show you
This is Chandramukhi's room
Miss Chandramukhi
Nothing wrong
in the king k*lling her
Why do you say so?
What lovely features
Wow figure and complexion!
How could anyone give away
such a beauty to anyone else?
Have you seen the room where
the dancer Gunasekaran lived?
Which Gunasekaran?
Oh! Her guy!
Come, I will show you
Look...that's the house
So this is where Chandramukhi
sang 'Come and ravish me'...
...and enticed Gunasekaran!
Don't you want to take a look at
Chandramukhi's personal belongings?
- My God! So heavy!
- Chandramukhi's sari
I will show you
her jewelry collection
Waist band, coin chain,
forehead dangler, anklets
Aiyo! There is only 1 anklet
The other is missing?!
Where can it go?
It must be here somewhere
My tea must have chilled by now
Come, let me go and drink it
The other day I saw both the anklets
What happened to the other?
- I love black
- That's my wife's voice!
That means you like
your husband very much
That's the doctor's voice
He is a little naive
but I still like him a lot
- Why the sudden silence?
- Aim at the coin properly
What...?!
Aim properly?
Swarnu, scatter
everything first
I won't let that happen,
till I am alive, doctor!
Were you talking
about this carrom board?
What else did you think?
'What did I think?!!'
'Saving all the women of this house
from him has become my burden!'
'That too my duty
is always overtime'
What to do Murugesha?!
You got to work overtime
Either we should be handsome
or must not marry a beautiful girl!
Thanks to you I can't talk
or think...how can I work?
Once upon a time
there was a chap...
That is you!
Why are you still here?
I'm half way
through the game!
- Ganga...Ganga
- What, Senthil?
I've been working from
morning...head is aching
Ask Ganga to get me coffee
Why trouble Ganga?
I'll make it for you
I don't know why this doctor
is everyone's favorite?
How does he
captivate everyone?
My chicken! Today somehow
I should catch it and fry it!
- Whom is the coffee for?
- For Senthil
Send it through someone
I don't know where
this dumb chap has gone
Go up and get me
a tablet for blood pressure
Okay
Durga, I've made coffee
Give it to Senthil
Red coin slides through
Black coin...also follows!
Something's fishy
- Swarn...
- AiyO!
- Who made this coffee?
- Durga
- For whom?
- Senthil...I think
Senthil, don't drink that coffee!
- Why did you do that?
- Coffee was poisoned
Poisoned?
You brought this coffee up!
AiyaiyO! I don't
know anything
Lakshmi madam asked me
to give this coffee to you
I was the one who
prepared the coffee
But I don't know
who laced it with poison
Doctor, how do you know
this coffee was poisoned?
now you poisoned Senthil's coffee
- I will...
- Don't harm her!
Whoever is responsible for
this misdeed, think again
If anyone wants to harm
my friend or his wife...
...as long as Saravanan
is alive, it won't happen
Kandasamy sir, I will find out
who mixed poison in this coffee
Let her go
Come, Senthil
Go! He said he will find out
Go and do your work
Who?
What...?
Is Ramachandra Acharya from
Chekkulam coming here?
I am so happy...okay
I'll take care of everything
What are you thinking?
Are you upset?
Where are you? I've been
searching for you everywhere
No need to worry anymore
Ramachandra Acharya
has promised to visit us
- Who is he?
- Haven't you heard of him?
He is a globe trotter
and an expert exorcist
Saravanan can read
only the human mind
He knows
to control even spirits!
I told him about
our problem
He agreed to come immediately
He is expected tomorrow
I must make arrangements
to receive him in style
He's a fraud
out to rip us!
He'll ask us to conduct
rituals and fleece us
It is all mere waste
of time and money
I don't encourage such people
- Let me 1st stop this
- No, Senthil
We should not
under estimate any one
I've heard about Ramachandra Acharya
He is not an ordinary person
It is good in one way
Let him come
Welcome, Swami
Yes...there is!
There is trouble here
Place the chair
facing east
Please sit down
It seems like God
is here in person
- Look...
- Yes, Swami?
- I must stay here for a week
- By all means
My disciples will
attend to my needs
I won't drink even a drop
of water from this house
During these 7 days, no one
from this house should stay out
- Who is he?
- My friend, Saravanan
He is a psychiatrist it seems
Since he was jobless, they
got him here from somewhere
...to solve our present problem
Forget all that
I believe, Chandramukhi
a spirit is here
Somehow issue a gate pass
and send her out
- Where is my room?
- I will show you
Saravanan, I came
since you called
As soon as the problems
of this house are solved...
...you should leave this place
You shouldn't come back
and play carom with Swarna
You can't anyway
Next week I'll take her to some
temple and tonsure her head
'He doesn't even respond'
I can also comb
My hair is also in disarray
I have a comb too, I'll get off now,
comb my hair and then ruffle it up
'This doesn't look like me'
Do you think this expensive car
is a saloon for you, moron?
- Why didn't you yell at him?
- I did it on his behalf to you!
He deserted me again!
Where did he go?
What happened?
I don't know where I am?
I think I'll have to beg
Where did you go?
I was happy lamenting in the temple
You brought me here
and abandoned me
You have no intentions
of saving your companion?
What a piercing glare!
Why do you look there?
Answer my question
Aiyo...yo...yo
What can I do now?
Stop I say
'I got hit by food and mud'
- I won't get on to your bike
- I won't leave without you
I'll come
What villainy!
Start the bike
Senthil?
Drawing, huh?
Just by drawing
you earn so much
What happened?
How did it break?
I didn't do it
I swear it was not me
It was not me
I don't know
I don't know how it fell
What a performance?!
You pushed it down
Now you are trying
to act innocent?
I didn't push it
You were the only one upstairs
How could it fall on its own?
Didn't I warn you
not to enter this house?
Why did you come?
Why did you go upstairs?
Madam called me to
wipe the spilt coffee
I don't know anything
I've done nothing wrong
I don't know, I...
Hey! What do
you not know?
No, she must
not be spared
When she is unaware
how it happened...
...we have to ensure
that she is cured
We must lock her up
in a room...come
Let me go
I don't know anything
Please believe me
I didn't try to k*ll him
Durga!
Nothing is wrong with
my grand daughter
Please leave her
Because we are poor
you are making such allegations
If you blame her like this
then who'll marry her?
Son...listen to me
I really don't know anything
Whose anklet is that?
Why is it here?
I don't know
whom it belongs to
I found it while sweeping
So I kept it there, that's all
Durga!
Son, what has happened
to my grand daughter?
Why have you
locked her inside?
What happened to her?
No tension
Nothing to worry
I've treated her
She is taking rest
Don't disturb her
Nothing will happen
to her, I assure you
Did the coffee spill or was it
you who spilt it on purpose?
Ganga! At this hour
what are you doing here?
- What happened?
- I was feeling sad for Durga
Why?
Had I not asked her to duplicate
Chandramukhi's room key that day...
...all this would not
have happened to her
If she gets cured, I have
vowed to donate Rs 5000
...to Goddess Mookambigai
I forgot to tell you this
You said, Chandramukhi's
anklet was missing, right?
It has been found
- Where was it?
- In Durga's room
I knew it
This is Chandramukhi's anklet
You mean this was the anklet worn
by Chandramukhi 150 years ago?
Yes
Then this is not the one
This anklet was
crafted just 5 years ago
No doctor, it's the same one
I have my facts right
This is not what she wore
Don't show off that
you know everything
I know what I'm saying
I can prove it anywhere
Ganga, you don't know
any darn thing about this
I do not know? Me?!
Relax
Why are you getting hyper?
Why should we fight about this?
This belongs to
Chandramukhi only
Ganga! Why is she
ignoring me?
Did you tease her?
No, she was feeling
sorry for Durga
For Durga?
It'll be alright
Come in
"I await to entwine with you,
handsome lover, longingly"
"Come, let me please you
singing yesteryear melody"
"Unable to be away from you
my youthfulness is in misery"
"Still a young lady
I yearn for you fervently"
"Quench my thirst
I plead...spiritedly"
"Unable to be away from you
my youthfulness is in misery"
"Still a young lady
I yearn for you fervently"
"Quench my thirst
I plead...spiritedly"
"King of Kings...supreme king
King Vettaiyan is arriving..."
"Come and ravish me"
"Come...and embrace me"
"Accept me, oh Lord!
My life is yours totally"
"Let both our breath
mingle intimately"
- Who is it?
- It is me
Vettaiyan
Your Vettaiyan
- You?
- Yes, it is me
'Open the door
Open the door, you dog!'
'How dare you
come in here again?'
Chandramukhi,
what do you want?
'I want only you
I've come to k*ll you!'
- You think you can do it?
- Yes, I can
Then k*ll me
'Not today'
'If I don't burn you alive
on 'Durgashtami' day...'
'...I am not
Chandramukhi'
But today is not
'Durgashtami' day
Then why have
you come today?
Come back on
'Durgashtami' day
Get lost
'I am going'
What happened, Swami?
Someone interfered
with my 'pooja'
I was planning to make
Chandramukhi sit in this circle
Someone diverted her
to a different direction
'What bad timing!'
Was it you?
Was it you?
Such a big blunder
No, I've done
something good
He's gone
Doctor, don't try to
challenge our beliefs
This is not a disease
to be cured by medication
This should be
cured by exorcism
AiyaiyaiyO!
Senthil Nathan refuses
to understand
...ordinary doctors
cannot cure this!
Brother...!
What are you doing, bro?
Steam inhalation
to cure my cold
Dreadful disease!
It'll be cured in a week
if you take medicine
Without medication
it goes off in 7 days!
Sister-in-law,
did you see my wife?
No, I didn't
Oh God! Where could
she have gone?
- You too have a cold?
- Yes, for the past 2 days
This is a super cure
Come, dear sister
We both can inhale
steam together
Brother, did you
see my wife?
She became your wife
only after I saw her!
What are you saying?
Fool! 1st I 'saw' your bride
Later she became your wife!
Don't press too much
It is suffocating
Sounds like my wife
Pull your legs inside
Close the gap
Okay
Oh God! To whom
can I share this atrocity?
He's uncontrollable!
Today, he plays carom
with her under a sheet
What can I do?
I'll not spare him today
- It is so sweaty!
- Of course, it will be
Why doesn't your
husband know all this?
- He's useless
- You are so right
Whatever it is
a doctor is a doctor
I've done this
to so many!!
Super experience
Must repeat for 7 days
I feel rejuvenated now
Super power!
Power?
Looks like he is a worse
sinner than the spirit!!
Greetings, priest
I've fixed my daughter's
engagement on 15th
...and marriage on 20th
The 1st invitation is for you
Please bless the event
Won't the problems in the house
get solved before the wedding?
Don't worry! Your problems will
be solved in another 2 days' time

Sister, I heard that you won't
attend the engagement
If I don't come, will you
stop the engagement?
You were the one who asked us
to fix the engagement on 16th

with pomp and splendor
Now I am asking
you to stop it
Stop it
You could have
told me right then
All the arrangements
have been made now

Ganga?
Ganga?
Where is Ganga?
Saravanan, where is Ganga?
Let's look for her
Ganga...
Saravanan!
- What were you trying to do?
- I did nothing, sir
Rascal!
Senthil, Ganga is unconscious
Go and check on her first
Ganga...
Sir, I don't know
what happened
- She...
- I know everything
Sir, I really don't know anything
She dragged my hand and...
I know you are innocent
What are you doing here?
You misbehaved with my wife!
- Are you trying to act innocent?
- Senthil, don't be hasty...
Don't believe him, Saravanan!
He has the audacity
to come here
You want me to be calm
and composed?! Get out
No, I swear, I did not
misbehave with your wife!
- You mean my wife did?
- Senthil!
It was not his fault
It was really not his fault
Then?
It was Ganga...
You mean to say Ganga
made the advances?
Are you insinuating
Ganga desired him?
- That...
- No!
Don't talk
How can you talk ill
about my Ganga?
How...how can you say this?
This groom was his choice
That's why he's blaming Ganga
and trying to justify him
- No, madam...
- Enough...don't talk
- Senthil...
- No need!
- You are a renowned doctor...
- Who is a doctor? Him?
He came to cheat us
Throw him out
Madam, in 2 days time
I will solve all the problems
...and I'll myself leave
Who are you to solve
our family problems?
We know how
to resolve them
- Listen...
- Go! Get out from here
Flirting with the women folk,
pretending to be a doctor
Your friend knows
your true colors now
Listen...
- Senthil, don't be hasty
- We know what to do
Go out
- Mr Kandasamy...
- Go, I told you!
Don't beat him, brother!
He locked up
my innocent grand daughter
Send him away
Get out
Be patient for 2 more days
Let me resolve the problems...
Big deal! I have brought
Ramachandra Acharya
...specifically for that
He will take care
Get lost
How can you throw him
out of this house?
If he walks out of this house
you'll face a major problem
He misbehaved
with our womenfolk...
No, don't say a word
I know everything
He's needed here
more than I am
Wipe the blood off your face
A good person's blood
shouldn't be spilt on the ground
Mere rituals cannot stop
what is happening here
Only his psychiatric
methods can succeed
My rituals were hindered that day
Then he came down the stairs
Do you remember that?
That day, I saw in his face
a glow, an enlightenment
I saw in his face the joy of
having achieved something
Later I met him privately
to find out what happened
When I heard what happened,
my body trembled...
If Ravana had 10 heads...
he has 10 brains in 1 head
He is not an ordinary psychiatrist
He studied in the U.S
and has been acclaimed
Besides he is the first
student of Dr Bradley...
...the world's greatest psychiatrist
All of you are shoving out
such an accomplished man!
He's still here
after being insulted
Do you know why?
- Sir...
- Quiet!
Just because he blamed your wife
you decided to drive him out!
Do you know he is risking
his life to save your wife?
If you want Ganga to live
Saravanan has to die
That's destiny
Does this shock you?
Saravana, tell your friend
all that you told me
'If Ganga has to survive
Saravanan should die'
'That is destiny'
Harden your heart and listen to
what I intend sharing, Senthil
The person behind
all the problems here
...is not Durga
or someone else
One who is possessed
by Chandramukhi...
...is your wife, Ganga
You called me back here and
blamed Durga for all the problems
I immediately realized
that it was not Durga
Once, at midnight
in Chandramukhi's room...
I heard someone
singing and dancing
On hearing my sound
the song and dance stopped
I was trying to investigate
as to who could be behind all this
It was then
that I went with Ganga
...to Chandramukhi's room
I saw her face change so peculiarly
when she handled the jewelry
Waist band, coin chain
- I had never seen Ganga like that
- Forehead dangler
She was in a psychic vibration
I realized the person possessed
by Chandramukhi was Ganga
To re-affirm my conclusion...
...I showed Ganga
the missing anklet
I lied to her that it is
not Chandramukhi's
Ganga, you don't know,
this is not that
At that moment, I saw Ganga
transform into Chandramukhi
'Ganga, you don't know
any darn thing about this'
'I do not know? Me?!'
'Why are you
getting hyper? Relax'
Yes, Senthil
Ganga often transforms
into Chandramukhi
This is her problem
Haven't we read in the papers that
a 20 year old girl talks like an old woman
A 5 year old boy behaves
like his dead grandfather
Same case
In medical jargon
Split personality
A stage where a person
behaves like another
A possession state
Ganga is affected by this
To find out how a mischievous girl
like Ganga can be affected like this...
I took your uncle
to her village, Ellur
We are all aware of
the happy side of her life
Ganga has another side
A traumatic past
This I came to know only
after I visited her place
Ganga's father married a lady
belonging to a lower caste
So his kith and kin
ex-communicated him
When he died, they didn't
even allow Ganga's mother...
...to let his body be
cremated within the village
They wanted her to prostrate
before each one in the village...
...and beg forgiveness
As she had no other choice
she undertook that punishment
She died due to
that humiliation
Right before Ganga's eyes
dousing the bodies in petrol...
...the villagers burnt
both the corpses
Ganga having witnessed this atrocity...
...enraged, she attacked
the landlord and fainted
This was her
first psychic disorder
Ganga who lost her parents
at such a young age...
...was taken in
by her grandmother
The orphaned Ganga grew up
hearing her grandma's old stories
Whatever story she heard...
...she fantasized herself
as the character in that story
I understood from my enquiries
that it was her childhood habit
When she was in her
Worried sick and
unable to study...
...she was sleepless
whole of that night
Next day she couldn't
write the exam
The sight of her throwing
away her answer sheets...
...and running like a mad girl is still
vivid in the mind of her class teacher
Her grandma didn't know
she had a problem like this...
...and so left it uncured
After her grandma's death
to avoid her loneliness...
...she became mischievous
The stories that she heard
were deeply etched in her mind
That was why she compelled
you to buy this palace
Her innate mischievous character...
...made her enter
Chandramukhi's room
Her innate weakness made
Chandramukhi possess Ganga
Ganga went to
Chandramukhi's room
Ganga stood there
as Chandramukhi
She believed
she was Chandramukhi
Ganga transformed
into Chandramukhi
This is how Chandramukhi
possessed Ganga
I have never noticed
such a change in my wife
She knows your sleep cycle
She knows when you are
awake and asleep
To avoid any suspicion against her
she burnt her own sari...
...and turned everyone's
attention towards Durga
It was Ganga
who chased Priya
It was Ganga who laced
your coffee with poison
It was Ganga who tried to
k*ll you with the fish tank
It was Ganga who made
everyone think he r*ped her
Why?
Why?
Senthil, when Ganga
transforms into Chandramukhi...
...she thinks that her lover
Gunasekaran is Viswanathan
...who is now living in
Gunasekaran's house
To prevent Priya from marrying
Viswanathan, she tried to k*ll her
She alleged him of raping her
thinking that the wedding will stop
Why did she try
to k*ll me twice?
When Ganga turns
into Chandramukhi...
...she thinks Vishwanathan
is her lover Gunasekaran
The only person
standing in her way...
...is Ganga's husband
That is YOU!
So she tried to
k*ll you twice
When the fish tank fell
and everyone was agitated...
I saw Ganga unperturbed
At that moment I realized
Ganga had become Chandramukhi
To bring Ganga
back to reality...
...I yelled and locked
Durga inside that room
I confided my findings to her
She offered
to accept the blame...
...even a 100 times
for Ganga's sake
Durga took the blame and
Ganga was able to roam freely
It was only to find out
Chandramukhi's intention...
...that despite our priest's prayers
I stood as King Vettaiyan
She believed me
to be King Vettaiyan
She told me that her intention was to
k*ll me, the King and take her revenge
If this wish of Chandramuki is
not fulfilled, we will lose Ganga
So the person she wants to k*ll
on 'Durgashtami' day is...
King Vettaiyan whom
she thinks is me!
If Chandramukhi's wish is not
fulfilled, she will destroy herself
And in that process
it is not Chandramukhi
Our Ganga will die
In this struggle, whether I can
save Ganga or lose myself
I don't know
It's a pity Ganga doesn't know
that Chandramukhi possesses her
Senthil, open the door
Who locked the door
from the outside?
- That must have been
- Maybe Durga
Look...someone
has torn my sari
Durga must have
done that too
Okay, how was
the dance yesterday?
I don't remember, doctor
I was too sleepy...
...and then I don't know
what happened
Viswanathan!
When did you come?
Did they offer you
something to drink?
No, thanks
It is okay
No one offers anything to
the prospective son-in-law
Wait, I'll bring you some coffee
See, she doesn't know
what happened
Height of cruelty, Saravanan!
Saravana, I tried to destroy you
But you decided to sacrifice
your life for the sake of your friend
Children nowadays
are so ungrateful...
...always expect returns
even from their parents
But you decided to sacrifice
your life for your adopted family
I am so proud of you
So far, this Akilandeswari who
has never bowed before anyone...
...for the 1st time I salute you
Pardon me
God has given me a son
I have cured many people...
...but I've never seen
a case like this in my life
I don't know how you can save
yourself from Chandramukhi
Even the thought of it terrifies me
I can apply psychiatry effectively
to remove Chandramukhi from Ganga
But to destroy
Chandramukhi completely...
...rests only with your prayers
For Ganga's sake
perform your ritual
Certainly
Today is 'Durgashtami'
The day Chandramukhi is supposed
to take revenge on the king
Today Chandramukhi's
wish will be fulfilled
The day I will return your wife
completely safe and sound to you
Didn't you say that you saw
Ganga sleep peacefully?
Go and tell her that you both
are not staying here tonight
Tell her, in order to
buy jewelry for Priya...
...that you want her to
accompany you to Madras
Why?
Just call her
Try calling her
Ganga...we are both
leaving for Madras today
Why?
We'll buy a gift for Priya
and return tomorrow
- Today?
- Yes
Why today?
To buy jewelry tomorrow
is very auspicious
That's why we are leaving today
- I am not coming
- You are coming
You have to come
'Won't you leave me?'
'You dog, how dare
you order me?'
'If I don't avenge his death,
I'm not Chandramukhi'
Ganga!
What did I just do?
No...I did something now
I did something just now
No...nothing, dear
Something is happening to me
Nothing is wrong with you
Please forgive me
Don't punish me
No dear!
You are my child
- Forgive me
- No, my dear
Forgive me
if I've done anything wrong
- Don't leave me
- Oh God! Ganga
Forgive me
You are my precious darling
You are fine
You won't leave me, will you?
Enough Saravanan, please
go away from this house
I can't bear
my wife's plight
How can I bear the sight
of her k*lling my best friend?
Please go
Will Ganga become
alright if I go?
I'll go somewhere far off to
America, Japan or China...
...to some corner of
the world and cure her
For her sake, I cannot remain
quiet and let my friend die
Senthil, I am a doctor
If I run off from a patient
fearing my life...
...what is the use
of my education?
Wherever you take Ganga
no one can cure her
Because only I know her well
Don't worry, to rescue
Ganga from Chandramukhi...
...I intend using a new method
in psychiatry called psychosis
I can definitely cure her
You will save Ganga
No doubts about it
But who'll rescue you
from Chandramukhi?
- Sir, why did you call for me?
- Senthil, come...I'll tell you
Come
This is King Vettaiyan's dance hall
This is where many years ago,
he burnt Chandramukhi alive
In that chakra [wheel) made by
Ramachandra Acharya for the 'pooja'...
...we should make Ganga sit
Viswanathan, only you can do that
Look at your wife, who has completely
transformed into Chandramukhi
"Come and ravish me"
"Come...and embrace me"
"Accept me, oh Lord!
My life is yours totally"
"Let both our breath
mingle intimately"
Every night she dances like this
"I await to entwine with you,
handsome lover, longingly"
"Come, let me please you
singing yesteryear melody"
"Unable to be away from you
my youthfulness is in misery"
"Still a young lady
I yearn for you fervently"
"Quench my thirst
I plead...spiritedly"
"With amorous fire, simmering
this is my call to you, cravingly"
"I invite you in ripples of desire,
hot and cold, beseechingly"
"Come...and take me!"
"King of Kings...supreme king
King Vettaiyan is arriving..."
"Lakalakalakalakaa..."
"Turban...turban!"
"Is this a bond of a previous life?
A fragrance that lingers constantly?"
"Is it the first picture in my eyes?
Why does this dream haunt me?"
"To my anguish,
listen intently"
"Why don't you appease
these quivers in my body?"
"You know how I feel about you
How can I forget 'us' so easily?"
"Is this a never-before merging
of two hearts, exclusively?"
"I am inviting you...
don't prolong unendingly"
"Within the lavish craving
of my luscious body..."
"Come, like lightning, pierce me,
my macho lover, with potency"
"Come...come...indulge me"
"Lakalakalakalakaa..."
Pour the oil
'No...don't'
Lakalakalakalakalaka...
'No...don't'
No...don't
Senthil, remember what I said
Be strong, victory shall be ours
[Holy chants)
Lakalakalakalakalaka...
"King of Kings...supreme king
King Vettaiyan is arriving..."
'No...no'
Drag her here
- Who are you?
- I won't tell
- Tell me, who are you?
- I won't tell
- It is me, Chandramukhi
- Go and sit there
Sit down
- Why have you come?
- To k*ll
- Whom?
- That man!
'Today is 'Durgashtami' day'
'I will burn the king
and avenge my enmity'
Will you go away from
this body after you k*ll him?
'I will go'
Pour the oil on him
Here, k*ll him
Do it with your own hands
Lakalakalakalakalaka
Slowly you are
gaining consciousness
Open your eyes...good!
- What is your name?
- Ganga
-Your full name?
- Ganga Senthil Nathan
- Who am I?
- Saravanan
- Who is that?
- My mother-in-law
As promised Saravanan has
brought the family together
He won't promise
If he does
he'll honor his words
As promised I've handed
your wife to you
If you like you can
change your bedroom...
...to Chandramukhi's room
Or both of you go to America,
London, Japan, wherever
But not for treatment
- Then?
- To sing a duet
Forget about them
When will you sing?
- I too have got a girl
- Who is it?
My gosh!
Come...come
- Whom is this whistle for?
- My girl
Durga!
Thank God!
My wife is safe
What happened?
After a long time, a child's voice
will be heard in our house!
"Dear God Almighty
Lord in Thirupathy"
"Grant us, endlessly
Your Grace and harmony"
"Our hearts sparkle
like diamonds pure"
"Sharpen them please
to add allure"
"Encore!"
"Our hearts sparkle
like diamonds pure"
"Sharpen them please
to add allure"
"Encore!"
"When all the powers
harvest together"
"...our earth will be
Heaven for sure"
"Dear God Almighty
Lord in Thirupathy"
"Grant us, immeasurably
a life that's worthy"
"Think of the man
who tills our land"
"For us to eat, he smears
in mud and mire, his hand!"
"Our drain cleaners
if they are absent"
"...in just 4 days, our city
will reek an awful scent!"
"If there were no
barbers in our town"
"...how will we look
good on our own?"
"In knee-deep water, if our dhobi
did not strain and stress"
"...will our clothes
be spotless?"
"Whatever job we may pursue
'work is worship' is so true"
"Tamil poet
Pattukottai's quote"
"Repeat!"
"When all the powers
allign together"
"...our earth will be
Paradise for sure"
