- Kasi, How many sacks have been loaded? - Around 300.
- ‘Don't let him hear us.’ -They’re deliberately slow.
‘Samara!’
- We are late for the match. - Go on!
Don't take him away during work hours. Get lost!
- Go away. I'll join you guys later. - ‘Stop bothering him.’
'Focus on your work, Samara. They keep distracting him, too '
‘Hey, keep going.’
Hey, load them on the scale.
- Press harder. - Measure now!
‘Move everything into the warehouse.’
[Conch shell horn blows]
Hey-- Hey, Samara!
‘Samara, finish your share of the work, at least.’
‘But the shift is over, boss. Relax!’
‘Hey!’
Samara, hold on. Let me come with you.
Sarpatta clan has never lost a match that I watched.
I bring luck. Take me with you.
Hurry up, then.
‘Move, people. Move!’
‘Keep riding.’
‘Coming through! Watch out!’
‘The country has become upside down in under a week.’
‘There is no one to question her.’
Do you have the money? Scram, if you don't!
What was the tearing hurry, idiot?
I almost shat myself. Are you out of your mind?
You instilled the fear of death in me.
No good will come to you, I swear to god.
I don't want the Sarpatta clan to lose.
Make it fast, old man!
Go on. Show me your ticket.
- I am from the Sarpatta clan. - Give me your ticket first.
I am a boxer from the clan. Coach Rangaiyaru's student!
That's what they all say.
Look at you dressed like a joker!
Leave if you don't have money.
- How dare you? - Samara, it's okay man!
Bloody bugger! I will break your balls.
I don't need no balls. I need his ticket.
Here. Take this.
Cool down, my love. Come, let's go.
Don't push me! Didn't I ask you to wait outside?
He refused to believe that I am a boxer of the clan.
Come on, child.
Who would believe a bathroom boxer?
Get up on the that ring and fight. I will believe you.
Come, let's go watch the match.

Look at the crowd, Samara! Everyone is excited to watch the match.
Patrons and Audience… Is your performance slow?
"Okasa Performance Booster" will make your sex life better!
Hey, enough, damn it!
What is the use of performing better if I can't even find a woman?
'You knuckle-head. I am going to beat you to pulp!'
Get him out of here.
- What took you so long? - The Supervisor wouldn't let me go.
- Come on. Let's go. - Go on. They are all there.

I think he's over there.

[Announcer] The prominent clans of Madras...
Sarpatta clan, Idiyappa clan, Sunnambu Kulam clan,
‘Ellappa clan, Military Boxing clan, Karikalan Bhai clan,’
‘Are you all ready?’
Sarpatta and Ellappa clans will fight each other in the first game!
Box!
[Announcer] ‘Watch how he progresses!’
[Announcer] ‘Sarpatta always lands the first punch.’
‘Look how powerful his punches are!’
‘Whose student is he? Coach Rangaiyaru, of course.’
‘Coach Rangaiyaru's students are the best of the whole Sarpatta clan.’
Box! Box!
'He may look like a bunny But his punches, not so funny!'
'Sarpatta clan is stealing the show!'
'Fiercest opponents Sarpatta and Idiyappa are now in the ring...'
'...there goes the final punch.'
- ‘Sarpatta wins this match too.’ - Fantastic, bro!
Sarpatta clan wins the match!
Sarpatta! - Say it again.
Sarpatta!
Announce the next match.
‘Crucial side-board matches begin now.’
Our next guest is Mallesh Anna.
When his hero lost his voice to a bullet,
he tried inflicting the same wound upon himself.
Sarpatta’s “speed boxer” and Coach Rangaiyaru's son, Veera...
‘will fight Coach Chimma Chalans's student from the Idiyappa clan.’
'The match is about to begin.'
‘We all know he’s a fiery boxer.’
'His opponents can't even imagine the power of his punches.'
'Wow! Idiyappa clan fighter has landed a punch on Veera's face!'
‘Wonder what's going to happen now? ’
'Watch Veera progressing with anger. Wow, that punch must hurt.'
'What a fantastic left hook!'
'Look at how punches rain down on the opponent'
'The speed, the anger... Veera is a brawler!'
'Referee, take him aside!'
‘Has he knocked out his opponent?’
Hey, get down from the ropes!
This one guy will ruin Coach Rangaiyaru's reputation.
Sarpatta clan's ray of hope... Coach Rangaiyaru's heir...
‘Most prominent main-board fighter of the clan…’
‘Vyasarpadi’s iron-fisted Muneer has arrived!’
Brother, today is your day!
It is our lucky day. We will defeat Vettapuli!
Samara, your mother is here!
Oh, no. Get out of my way.
‘Look at him ducking like a chicken. ’
‘Hey, she is not here.’
‘She's not here. We were just kidding.’
Have you lost your mind? I really thought my mom was here.
Hey, Samara!
- Look how he is shivering. - Are you so scared of your mom?
Why wouldn't he be scared? Once when Rangodu was fighting a match...
this fellow bunked school.
He came straight to watch the match.
It was at this same location.
The child was watching the match.
Bakkiyam came and beat the pulp out of him.
'The fellow went flying.'
'Seeing her thrash him, Rangodu had to stop the match.'
- What’s wrong? - Shut up!
You are the reason behind this. Come on!
Shut up, I said!
‘You must have seen his face. Like a monkey that ate ginger!’
‘Poor fellow. ’
I can't watch or practice boxing. I mustn't even brawl.
- She wouldn’t even hesitate to choke me. - She is the worst.
It's Daddy who paid the price mostly.
Hey, here!
Keep this, buddy!
It is amazing.
You must have won so many matches wearing these.
- You are phenomenal. - ‘Daddy! Are you nuts?’
It is the worst story in the world.
‘Hey, what are you doing, Bakkiyam?’
What the hell is wrong with you?
You are spoiling his dream.
Bakkiyam, stop it! Out! Get out now.
- Hey! - Out!
I am a servant in your house. Not your slave.
I know how to take care of my son.
I know how to bring him up.
Your husband is luring him into boxing.
Daddy, the next time you do this, I will poison your food.
Watch out! Missiyamma, dinner is ready.
Come home. I will kill you.
What's wrong with her, Kevin?
My story is still better.
This fellow joined Rangodu's class without his mother's knowledge.
‘Rangodu was coaching him.’
‘There arrived furious Bakkiyam.’
- How dare you! - Why are you beating him. Stop.
Ma'am stop. Stop!
- That's enough. - Don't you have any sense?
It's my husband's boxing skills that got him killed as a henchman.
I don't need the same fate for my son.
Hold on!
Not every boxer becomes a gangster.
I don't care, brother.
I am trying to be respectful because you are a good man.
You gather all these children and turn them into thugs?
- Do you have no conscience? - Shut the hell up.
I will break your legs if you come here again.
‘Coach hates me since that day.’
Knock him out in just one punch. Alright?
‘Here arrives another champion from Idiyappa clan ’
What are you staring at? Come, let’s go there.
‘Checkout the boxing ring. Has he arrived?’
The epitome of idealism. The one with a pure heart...
The regional organizer of the DMK party.
- Brother, can we start? - Please proceed.
‘The next match begins.’
‘Ramudu and Socrates in the ring.’
‘Ramudu lands 2 punches.’
‘Socrates retaliates.’
‘Socrates is aiming his punches to the opponent’s face.’
‘Ramudu is trying his best but Socrates comes out stronger.’
‘What a match!’
Round 3!
‘It is a knockout!’
‘Munusamy’s lineage in the Sarpatta clan is no less to anyone.’
The most technical of the lot, fiercest of them all... Ramudu!
Go on! Click a picture.
Vettapuli is here!
The boxer who keeps Idiyappa clan at the top!
The one who defeats Sarpatta clan each time!
The young and fierce Vettapuli is here!
Watch him walk in with his Coach Chimma Chalam.
Vettapuli!
‘Watch out! Careful!’
’Look at his clout. His each punch a jolt.’
What's up, Ranga?
Have you brought your little sacrificial lamb!
Make sure it’s tied. It shouldn’t run away in fear.
‘Keep moving, all of you.’
‘It’s time to start the match. The organizer is unhappy.’
‘Get ready!’
Vettapuli opponent today is Sarpatta clan's...
'Hey, come on... Stop shouting!'
We have won all 10 matches from the morning.
But there is nothing fantastic about it.
We need to defeat Vettapuli.
Bear that in mind. Your powerful punches should knock him out.
Do whatever it takes.
You shouldn't win him in points. Knock him out.
Watch out for his southpaw stance!
He will elbow you. Stop him and inform the referee.
Finish him off!
That’s it!
Woah, knock him out!
Drain his stamina!
He is ruthless. Make sure you miss all his punches.
When you throw a left punch he will miss it...
As he moves forward dodge and throw in an upper cut.
Then land two punches between his stomach and chest.
-He won’t be able to recover. - Stop it!
What are you guys doing?
‘Why are you confusing him?’
Get out all of you.
You heard the coach. Get out!
Dead mosquitoes. Out!
‘Rascals, causing confusion.’
Muneer!
Play to your strength. Alright?
Coach, I will put an end to Vettapuli's game today.
Hey, Vettapuli is such a phenomenal fighter.
He needs an equal match.
Did you see Muneer's face? It is pale with fear.
One chance is all I need. I will knock him out.
Hey, what am I waiting for then?
I will beat him to pulp the first chance I get.
Vettapuli will beat the lights out of Muneer.
I don't know how he trusts him.
Hey, what's this talk?
The coach must have his reasons for picking him.
Watch how precise Muneer's game will be!
Vettapuli's reign ends today.
- Hey! - Don't foul-mouth the coach.
- Scoot! - Hey!
Who the hell are you? Buzz off from here.
- Look how he is glaring at us. - Get lost, I said.
Isn’t your place with the crowds?
Stick to doing that. Go!
- Move, I said. - Hey, not cool!
Why are you talking to them? They are waiting to pick a fight.
They are talking nonsense about the coach.
He is a legend. These newbies are commenting on him.
Doesn't he know what he is doing?
He beat Nat Terry.
I still remember that match like it was just yesterday.
It is because of him that we are so fanatic about boxing.
And these people are running their mouths.
People from villages near and far...
have gathered in great numbers here today.
Do you know why?
Sarpatta's Black Panther Muneer and Idiyappa's Tiger Vettapuli...
are the reason for this large turnout here today.
- I should have never placed my bet on him. - Come on, cough up the cash.
Representing the Sarpatta clan today is Rangodu's favourite student...
‘The Iron Fisted, Muneer.’
‘In the last 3 years, every mainboard boxer from the Sarpatta clan…’
‘has been defeated by Vettapuli.’
‘Today, Coach Rangodu is presenting his last hope in defeating Vettapuli.’
Vettapuli, this one is the most tactful of all the mainboard boxers in Sarpatta.
Rangodu is hoping to defeat you with him.
Vettapuli, you have been avenging my defeat successfully for so long.
It must continue in this game too.
Bear that in mind. Come on!
Vettapuli is the precious, golden child of Madras Clan Boxing.
‘11 mainboard matches so far. 11 knockouts, too.’
‘He has defeated boxers from all clans.’
‘Especially Sarpetta clan’s fighters Sivan, Ethiraj, Muthu, Sankaran.’
Have all been defeated by the undefeated Vettapuli.
Here he comes! VETTAPULI!
‘With the only agenda of defeating the Sarpatta clan...’
‘comes Coach Chima Chalam with his best student yet.’
‘The fight inside the ring is between Muneer and Vettapuli.’
‘But the actual war is between Rangodu and Chimma Chalam.’
‘After his defeat to Rangodu, Chimma Chalam ended his boxing career.’
‘But as a way to avenge his defeat…’
‘he has created Vettapuli to defeat every single student of Rangodu.’
Our clan must win. Bear that in mind.
Muneer Brother! Show them who you are.
‘Now begins the match between Vettapuli and Muneer.’
‘Come on! Begin the match, referee
Come on, lock him!
‘Wow, look how fierce he is.’
Come on! Thrash him!
What is the hurry?
‘Vettapuli's fan base is the best by far.’
Come on, Vettapuli!
Careful!
Come on, Vettapuli!
‘Looks like he won’t get up.’
Finish him, Vettapuli!
Keep your guard up. Go!
- ‘Muneer is back in his element.’ - Punch him, brother!
Sarpatta clan is no less, I guess.
Did you see that, man?
Alright. I will sit.
Get him, Vettapuli!
- ‘What a punch that is.’ - Come on!
What's happening?
- That punch landed like a thunder! - Vettapuli!
Round 3!
Awesome!
Finish him!
That was a foul, brother!
Muneer Brother, get up and box.
‘Rules have been broken.’
‘I hope he'll get up to box.’
‘Muneer, can you get up?’
‘He's back on foot to fight.’
‘Vettapuli’s punches are a message to Coach Rangaiyaru.’
‘This pain must be unbearable. Look at Vettapuli's punches.’
Guard! Block him!
- Muneer! - Come on...
‘Blue retired!’
‘It must be so humiliating to surrender in a match like this.’
‘Sarpatta clan, Have you no self-respect?’
‘How will Coach Rangaiyaru recover from this blow?’
‘Red is the winner!’
‘Just like the lightning bolt...’
‘Vettapuli of Idiyappa clan’
‘has smashed the Sarpatta clan in this match.’
Get up, Brother!
It's okay. Come on!
It's okay. Relax!
What's the point? We lost.
Ranga, one of ours has lost.
Ensure you win the next match. It’s embarrassing.
Emergency rule has been terrorizing the citizens across the country.
Prime Minister’s uncontrolled power has swept the country like a storm.
But Tamil Nadu hasn't given in.
Our leader has ensured our autonomy.
His leadership has made this massive event a reality.
Party's senior comrade and the Coach of Sarpatta clan, Rangaiyaru...
is also the reason behind the success of this event.
I congratulate the winner!
‘Hey, that's how you defeat the opponent.’
‘Arrogant fellows.’
Ranga, accept that Sarpatta clan is wiped out.
Don't waste your time preparing another boxer.
We have defeated the last mainboard boxer in your clan.
Don't go around arranging another match.
Our women will not laugh through their mouth.
Rose! Watch your mouth.
If I get hold you I will smash you to pieces.
You guys can't win a match. You think you can take me down.
You played a foul game. How dare you talk?
I challenge you to a fight right now.
Be quiet. No fighting here.
Boxing rules are not meant for the ring alone.
A boxer shouldn't even hurt a fly using his skill.
Coach, doesn't your son know all this?
Koni, shut up and leave. Let's go, Ranga.
Watch what happens!
Hold on, Coach Rangaiyaru.
Such arrogance in spite of training only losers?
They don't have the gall to fight in the ring.
Come fall at my coach’s feet.
He will teach you how to create a boxer like Vettapuli.
How dare you!
Oh, yeah? Come on.
How dare you talk to him that way?
- Coach, stop it. - Get lost, all of you.
Like father, like son.
Who asked you to come here? Take him away.
Take him, I said!
One more time I see you here, I will kill you.
Listen, we have lost to him. He will gloat as he pleases.
Take it all in. Respond to him within the ring.
Fighting in vain.
Get lost! Go.
‘Nothing you do is going to bring back your honor.’
Rose!
That was very graceful! Go on!
Chimma Chalam, let's see how far you will take this.
- I will see you in the next match. - Come on, Coach!
How many more people should I defeat?
Understand that you will never take down Idiyappa clan until my Coach is around.
‘Hey, be nice!’ Look how sad he looks!
Ranga, go home. Leave!
I ask you for one final bout.
If you lose...
Sarpatta clan will never step into the ring.
Do you agree?
- Alright! - That’s it!
Sarpatta clan shouldn’t even exist in Madras.
What do we do?
You are so dead.
Coach, I will take him on!
Coach!
Hold on! Stop!
How dare you all leave me behind?
Who won the match? Tell me!
- Vettapuli. - What?
How humiliating!
I would defeat him far more easily!
Aren't you ashamed of losing yet again?
Are you ever going to win?
Samara, your dad gave everyone a run for their life.
All you do is roam around the village in your stupid pants.
You should be boxing in the ring, damn it!
- Edwin, shut your gob! -Daddy. You will be a dead body!
- Daddy! - Bakkiyam is awake still.
She will definitely pick a fight Ignore her. Alright?
Ma, why are you awake still?
Have you eaten?
How dare you?
- In spite of all my warnings... - Ma, don't beat.
- and pick up a fight too! - I just went to watch the match.
- Hear me out, Ma! - It's me who took him out.
If you support him, I will thrash you too.
- It's hurting old lady. - What are you doing?
- You shouldn’t hit a grown-up boy! - Buzz off!
Even if he has done a big mistake take him inside the house and scold him.
Don't you dare support him. How many times should I tell you?
You are good, I am bad!
But I am happy!
Edwin brother, you're drunk stop creating a scene.
- Shut up! - He is no more a child!
So many people are watching. Take him inside.
Nothing wrong in it. Let everyone watch.
Let's see if he understands at least then.
How many times should I spell it to you!
Look here, Samara, if you do this again...
- I will immolate myself in the street. - Ma, stop saying that!
'Stop it, Bakkiyam!'
My husband wasn't any good.
Couldn’t he be considerate? My luck!
Ma, would you stop it!
Go! Leave me alone!
No! I can’t deal with him anymore.
Let Mangamma come. She will teach you a lesson.
- I curse you! - Ma!
Hey, go and console her.
Ma!
‘They are here.’
- Greetings! - 'Which one of you is the groom?'
- I am doing well. - The tall one’
I am happy that this worked out smoothly.
- Get up! - Greetings.
A handsome fellow!
Go bring the bride.
‘She's coming. She's coming!’
‘Look, here she comes.’
'Greet everyone, dear'
Samara has swooned!
- Make her change into this. - Yes. Sure.
Be quiet!
Don't be so shy.
The bride is alright. Groom is the one all shy!
Silence! Listen up.
With everyone as witness, two lives are coming together as one.
‘With deities and Goddess Durga as the witness...’
‘With Goddess Kamatchi and Goddess Meenakshi as witness…’
‘With Kasi Visalatchi and Pathrathu Ramaiah as witness…’
‘With Mallena as witness…’
‘With Mother Mary and Pedhamathali as witness…’
‘we agree to the marriage of your bride and our groom!’
Here you go.
- Mangamma, give her a hug. - Bless you, dear.
Mangamma, I am leaving now.
Keep this for your expense.
- Stay a while longer? - What’s this?
- Stay! - Let go of my hand.
'Everyone is looking. Let go of my hand.'
The groom seems to be in a hurry.
You've just been engaged.
Everything will happen in it's own time. Get out!
Looks like the groom won't wait till the wedding day.
It's being said they'll dissolve our government.
Yes, I heard.
Dissolve?
Our leader won't allow that!
Nor would we. Don't say such things.
Nothing of that sort will happen. Our leader will take care of it.
Even women don't take this long. Your dad is waiting.
Mom, have you told him?
Who else will he offer the chance to? There's nothing to tell.
Yeah, right. Like he wouldn't choose someone else.
Listen, you speak to him directly.
When will you stop provoking him?
Enough already. Come.
Go on, Mom!
Hey, how do I look?
Oh, don't get carried away.
What was that?
- Hey, where is he? - Let go!
Didn't you hear me say? I said let go.
Shame on you. Come!
- Is this the time? - I am coming.
- Go. - I'm not doing anything wrong.
- Stop putting up your price. - Let go!
Buzz off!
I will be back soon.
- Tonight, I'll get my due. - Oh, bugger off.
- What about my son's job? - I'm on it.
Okay, then.
- Pa, will you bring sweets when you come? - Sure!
- You must pick our son, okay? - Alright.
- Move. - See you, Mom.
Looks like you were just waiting for your mom to bring up marriage.
- Nothing of that sort, Daddy. - Don't act naive.
Bugger, thanks for dropping me. You are getting late for work. Go on.
What do you mean? There is an important meeting happening.
Don't I need to know who will take on Vettapuli next?
Nothing else is important. Come on, Daddy.
Didn't you think of consulting with us?
Can you make such a decision in a fit of rage?
Winners will try provoking you. They will pull your leg.
How can you give in to it. What you did is not right.
You aren't the only coach in Sarpatta clan.
You gave your word in front of all those people.
Not a single boxer in Madras has managed to defeat Vettapuli.
Who do we have in our clan now?
Brother, what are you talking about?
Coach Rangaiyaru's challenge has created an uproar among the boxing audience.
I could help by bringing an outsider to represent your clan.
Shut your stinky mouth!
Shut the hell up. How dare you say such things?
Hey. stand down all of you.
- Sit, I said. - Watch who you are talking to!
Murthi, my move wasn't uncalculated.
They are trying to wipe us out.
We must go all in to defeat them. Understand?
You are right.
Don't choose any of the existing mainboard fighters.
Choose one of the younger men. Surprise them with a newbie.
Let’s show them who we are. Do it!
Hey, you are right man.
The best boxers have always been defeated by a rookie.
Veera is the one who can do this. I nominate him.
You are right. It is what we have in mind, too.
Veera will put up a good fight, brother.
- What do you all say? - Yeah! Absolutely.
Rangodu's son is no less to anyone.
Veera looks like you will be the one to fulfill your dad's wish.
Of course, I will. I wish for nothing more.
I have been waiting for this moment.
- Watch what will become of him. - That's like my boy.
If it was a war of words you will win, surely.
Coach, let me know what you feel. I have a lot of work to do.
I am thinking on similar lines, too.
Veera can’t withstand even a single Bolo punch from Vettapuli.
He is such a fierce fighter.
But… he is too reckless.
Boxing is like a penance.
He should rely on his skill. Not on his aggression.
I feel that the one to represent our clan right now is...
- ...Ramudu. - What?
'Ramudu is a good choice.'
‘He has got good game too.’
Ranga, are you out of your mind?
A skilled fighter is not enough to tackle Vettapuli's aggression.
Shut up. Ranga has made the right decision.
Ramudu is the right choice.
Nonsense. Get out of here.
Hey!
What’s everyone running their mouth for? Don’t you dare!
As someone who taught them their game I am familiar with each of their strengths.
Ramudu is the right choice.
Coach, it’s not easy fixing a fight between Vettapuli and a beginner.
So?
Alright. Let me set this match. Send him for the photograph.
- See you. - Okay.
Don’t do that!
I trust you wholeheartedly. You can do this.
Let's go!
- Represent the clan. - I will live up to your trust, Coach.
He has chosen a cub. Huh?
He refused his own son this opportunity. That's how desperate he is to win the bet.
It's going to work in our favor.
He is scared of losing his son in the ring.
Listen, It's beneath me to fight these kids.
- If he dies in the ring, it’s not on me. - Absolutely!
- Let this be the last time. - Alright.
Sarpatta clan is done for. Wiped out!
Dear Ramudu, the day is finally here.
This is the first big match in your boxing career.
I wish your uncle Munusamy were here to witness this.
Take his blessings.
This is the moment I've been waiting for.
Sarpatta clan was under our control when your Uncle was alive.
Now it is run by a bunch of "nobodies"
Ramudu, don't miss this chance.
I'm here for you. I will provide everything you need.
Make sure you win.
Our family shall go down in history as the restorers of Sarpatta's glory.
- We shall, Uncle. - Pray, now!
Make it fast!
All this is for you. For your victory.
Start the car.
'Here is the advance money'
You take it, Uncle.
‘Ensure that the clan reclaims it’s glory.’
Look at my nephew's stamina!
Pose with a stance!
Watch out, the deer!
Ha! Scared him.
Yes. That's more like it.
- Fantastic. - Stop supporting him unnecessarily.
Hey!
Hey.
Idiot. Get your guard up.
What is wrong with you?
Don’t you know to guard your face?
‘Do it right, damn it!’
- Why are you letting him belittle you? - I am the coach here. Shut up.
Be quiet, or go away.
Concentrate. Don't let your mind wander.
- Guard up! - Come on, come on!
One tight slap! Hold your position.
- He is moving too slow. - So, that's his game, is it?
- Hey, Muneer. - Yes, coach.
What the hell is he doing? Ask him to leave.
Take him away. Can't even get the basics right.
Prime Minister rule is degrading the essence of democracy.
Tamil Nadu is in safe hands under the rule of our leader.
Our Chief Minister is opposing the Centre single-handedly.
People should ignore the lure of actors and gather behind his leadership.
That will make the Centre shiver in fear.
The Prime Minister must, resign her post immediately!
'Resign your post immediately!'
Kumar, punch higher.
Come on! Give me an uppercut.
Hey, where is he?
It's late. Why isn't he here yet?
-He should be here soon. - Where's he then?
Hold your hands up stiff.
‘You think people will come for the meeting?’
‘They're loyal to their party.’
Extend your arm fully.
Muneer, is he going to turn up at all?
What does he think of himself?
I don’t know what happened. I have sent someone to bring him.
Has he no worry about the match?
- I don’t know why he is doing this. - What an irresponsible boy!
I knew this would happen. That's why I didn't want him chosen.
Don't you dare say another word.
How can he be so arrogant? It's not a joke.
Brother!
- Oh! Welcome. - Hold this.
- Isn’t he Munirathnam’s son. - Of course!
- I have fixed his wedding. - Is that so?
- It is on the 12th of February. - That’s good!
I want you to preside over the wedding, Coach.
Of course. I will be there.
Take this.
- Where is the bride from? - My brother's daughter.
A marriage will keep him under control, I feel.
Absolutely.
Looks like the Port Trust is opening up more permanent posts.
I suggested they consider you.
Listen, stop hanging out with these guys.
Get married. Concentrate on your family.
Your mother has been through a lot.
Alright, Coach. Please do come.
Don't you worry. I will be there.
- All of you must attend. - Of course, we will.
‘Give that to me. We have a lot more people to invite.’
‘Okay, mother. Make it fast, I have work to do ’
Hey, I am furious now.
Match day is fast approaching and...
Come. Let's go there ourselves.
No, Coach. Why should we go to his house?
Is that so? I am the one who accepted the challenge.
You keep your pride intact. Let me go get him.
'Coach. Don't go there.'
Ask if he needs a ride.
- Brother! - Coach!
- You carry on. - Coach.
- Coach, let me take you. - Don't trouble yourself.
Let me drop you, Coach.
- Hop on, brother. - You don't have to.
Go on!
Coach, it makes me so happy that you're riding in my cycle.
You are my biggest inspiration.
I remember every single match of yours.
Chimma Chalam was bleeding because of all the punches you placed.
He ran from the ring. You followed him to ensure he was okay.
You're so large-hearted.
The way you posed after knocking out Sekar in one of the mainboard matches!
Wow, it was so stylish!
Muhammad Ali wouldn't have stood a chance against you.
If my mother had let me, I would spend all my time with you.
- What was that? - Nothing, Coach.
We are almost there.
‘That’s it. Punch harder!’
- ‘Come on! - Jab!’
‘Punch harder.’
Ramudu, what's happening here?
- Who is this? - Ranga, come sit for a moment.
Murthi, what is happening?
They have brought a boxer from the Army to coach Ramudu.
- Just for a couple of days. - Why are you beating around the bush?
Can we do anything without his knowledge?
Coach, Ramudu isn't happy with your training.
That's why I have brought a different coach to train him.
Coach, Muneer was your pupil.
He didn't stand a chance.
Vettapuli has deciphered all your moves.
I thought of trying something new.
Am I outdated, then?
The nature of the game has changed. Why are you angry?
Hey, watch your mouth.
Who the hell are you?
Who let you in here?
Someone like you mustn't even be here!
If you interfere in the clan's affairs I will finish you.
Ramudu, show some respect.
What respect?
Nagaiah, you can't speak on behalf of the clan. Shut up.
Why can't I speak?
You all ran away from a challenge match with the white guy George.
It was my brother who fought bravely giving up his life in the ring.
Who but me can speak?
Didn't you all rejoice in his death?
You sidelined us then on.
Our turn has finally arrived. Your coach is trying to ruin it.
He is picking on my nephew unnecessarily.
Do you want to kill him too?
Don't you dare misspell history.
Our coach was the one who avenged your brother's death finally.
- Don’t I know what actually happened? - ‘Let bygones be bygones.’
Uncle, hold on! Let him be the coach of the clan.
Can't I choose a coach I prefer?
Of course you can! You could have informed him formally.
Ranga, forget about all this.
It is not just your reputation in line. The whole clan is facing a danger.
You shot your mouth in front of everyone.
If he loses, the clan loses too.
Share your notes about his game.
We will work on it.
All we need is for the clan to win.
Isn't it? Come on. Sit.
‘Come on, man! Hit him hard.’
You carry on. Don't worry about anything.
Get lost!
Come on!
Hold on, Coach!
Coach, wait for me.
I will kill you if you try stopping me.
Coach, wait!
‘The old man got angry.’
How dare they treat him like that?
A bunch of nobodies!
Isn't he the one who trained them all?
He can stop the match. But he doesn't want to.
This is going out of hand.
He chose a stranger over his own son.
What will he do now? He deserves this.
- Lakshmi! - Why should I?
Are you trying to fan the flames now?
- It hurts, Grandma. - I'm sure it does.
You can never handle the truth.
Only I know of your son’s suffering.
Forget about me.
They shouldn't have messed with my dad. Watch what I do next.
Let them come for a sparring bout. I will teach them a lesson.
Beat the pulp out of him in front of your dad.
Wait and watch.
Have you heard about Ramudu's progress?
Looks like he is training well.
He runs till Sathya Studios everyday, it seems!
He is defeating every one of his opponents.
Ramudu has won every single boxer you can name.
Coach Rangodu's training club is his next stop, it seems.
If Ramudu wins, it will be a huge embarrassment for the Rangaiyaru.
Is that fine by you?
Do what you must. Ensure that you take on Vettapuli.
Your dad is watching you.
Come on!
Punch harder. Come forward!
‘Hold the bag!’
Muneer, why are they here?
For a sparring bout!
- Who with? - With Veera!
Who gave you the permission to call him?
Are you trying to escalate the rivalry?
This is utterly irresponsible. What got into all of you?
Why are you getting upset? Wait till Veera breaks his bones.
I will break your jaw.
Veera is reckless, as it is. What if something happens to Ramudu?
Won't they say we did it on purpose?
Nagaiah, take him and leave.
Don't come here from now. Go!
- You are disrespecting us intentionally. - What?
Look how times have changed! We must take all this nonsense from you.
Do what you came here for. Don't talk unnecessarily.
We would. You are the ones trembling.
No one here is scared. One more word and I will punch you.
I dare you to touch us.
Your dad is the one fearing for your life.
We are not.
STOP!
You are all disrespecting me.
Why am I here if you all do as you please?
I am ashamed of you.
Go on! Do as you please. You don't need me.
- Move! - Brother!
- Hold on, coach! -Dad, wait.
- Dad, don’t just walk away. - Shut up!
Why would you walk out! We must beat them.
- You’re the one instigating everything. - Dad, they are gloating.
- We must go back. - I’ll smack your face.
We must show them. Don't go!
As Coach Rangaiyaru's disciple, I challenge you to spar against me.
Whose student, did you say?
Uncle, did you hear this joke?
- Buzz off. - Hold on!
Who are you to represent the clan? Are you trying to pick a fight?
- I will whack you. - Shut up. Wait!
Samara, what's all this? Leave!
Ramudu, leave. Get inside, all of you.
You call yourself a fighter? Come, let's see who is better.
Coach will be furious if you do this.
Who wants to fight him? Does he even know how to wear his gloves?
Keep moving. Ignore him.
Hey... Run away!
I could see the fear in your eyes.
Get lost!
We can't have the likes of Munirathnam's son speaking up against us.
Give him a few whacks. It will be fun to watch.
Go!
Do it for me!
Go on.
I agree to your challenge.
But I will only use one arm.
Let's see!
Why don’t you trust me. I can take him, dad.
Coach! Stop.
Samara is sparring with Ramudu. He won't listen to any of us.
- Samara? - Why is he fighting him?
Samara!
Ramudu, get that punk.
Go on...
- Listen to us, Samara. - He's gone mad.
Hey, what is taking you so long?
- Just one moment. - Finish him!
What is going on here?
Hey... Ramudu!
- Ramudu. - Hey, make way.
Nobody must enter the ring. Out!
- Hey, Ramudu. - Get out!
- Hey, get up. - Out you go.
‘Hey, Ramudu, get up.’
- Ramudu, can you continue? - Get up!
Why are you still here. Go get him!
‘More like it. Come on!’
Hit him!
‘What's wrong with you?’
‘Hit him!’
‘Hey, hit him, damn it!’
Hey, Ramudu!
- Ramudu, can you continue? - Yes.
‘Ramudu!’
‘Hey, he knocked out Ramudu.’
Is he okay?
- Ramudu! Carry him... - Gently!
I am Coach Rangaiyaru's student. Fight me!
- Your death is in my hands. - Go back!
‘Hey, Nagaiah, help him get up.’
Check on him!
Go and check on him.
Go on! Why are you staring at me?
Carry him, quick!
‘Carry him!’
‘Come on!’
Why did you do this? Why?
Come on, tell me!
Where did I go wrong?
Calm down!
Though I wanted it very badly, I refrained from boxing, for you?
They disrespected my coach.
That's why I had to box.
Won't you try to understand me?
Why do you keep doing this?
What did I do?
Bury me alive and then do what you please.
Don't you dare call me your mother after this.
- Get out of here. - Ma, don’t say that.
Listen to me, Ma!
Samara!
- Let go! - Samara, why are you hurting yourself?
Kevin, you frozen frog! Do something.
Ma!
Samara, did you really do it?
You really did it!
You thrashed him, I hear.
How?
I can't begin to imagine.
Wish I was there.
Show me your hand!
You found your path, Samara.
You found a path!
Just march ahead.
Don't worry about all this.
Ignore your mother.
An old woman with her old stories. She will never stop crying.
You have to do this. I am with you.
- I am there with you. - Shut up, Daddy.
Hey, come on, you bugger!
You are a boxer now.
Muhammad Ali. Like me, huh!
‘Bakkiyam, Bakkiyam, come out now.’
‘Hey, he's no more a child.’
Daddy, Coach asked me to bring Samara.
Really?
He has asked you to come to Idiyappa clan's club.
What are you waiting for? Coach will be expecting you.
Come on! Why are you waiting?
I will see you, baby!
Bakkiyam, I will bring him safe.
Let's go.
‘You think setting up a match is a simple task?’
I need to pay an advance to the Corporation.
Receive permits from fire service and local politicians.
Approach the commissioner’s office. Struggle there all day for a permit
Pay the rent for the stadium.
Get both clans to agree to the bout.
Take photographs of the fighters. Put up posters and then sell tickets!
This lad hurt Ramudu so badly, he can't fight for the next 6 months.
- What am I supposed to do now? - Shut up!
I am here to set it all straight.
You need your money, right? Give me that.
Give it to me! Here you go.
Come here.
Not you. Samara, come forward!
Come.
Come, stand here, bugger!
Chimma Chalam, this here is Samara.
Ask Vettapuli to fight him next.
‘He is better than Ramudu. What do you say?’
‘-Hold on, Veera! - Move!’
Ranga, does this deal sound fair to you?
What is all this? What will I tell Mom?
Stay you bugger!
Would anyone be interested in fighting a beginner?
- Is this fair? - Don't expect any fairness from Rangodu.
He has brought this joker here without consulting any of us.
Shut up, you loudmouth! Stop creating a ruckus.
Yogi, shut up!
Not another word from you!
I can speak for myself.
Chimma Chalam, trust me!
You will be amazed at his game.
I trust him completely.
He chooses him because of one game! What am I here for then?
The uncontested leader of Madras' boxing clans...
is at our doorstep today pleading for a chance.
It makes me so happy.
At least Ramudu would have sustained for a couple of rounds.
This boy won't withstand a single punch. Vettupuli, fight him.
‘Coach, it's not fair to pit an amateur against a champion.’
Coach...
...please don't take this the wrong way.
I don't want to fight.
- What the hell? - Let me speak.
When a pioneer like him is requesting us...
How dare you sympathize with him?
My mom couldn't accept the fact that I sparred with Ramudu.
I feel bad for her.
Hey, what Ranga?
Get your hands off me.
Move back.
Ranga, hold on!
You can't walk in and out as you please.
Do we all look like idiots?
Chimma Chalam, coming here was a mistake.
‘Here he goes again.’
- Forgive me. - Why are you doing this?
Agreed, I made a mistake.
You are right.
Listen to your mother.
- Coach! - Get lost.
‘What Ranga? Be calm.’
Hey, come on!
Let me fight, Coach.
I will.
- I will fight on behalf of the clan. - Go on. Tell them.
Hey! What’s all this?
How dare you offend my Coach?
Vettapuli, I will bring you down.
What is all this drama?
You asked for a bout with this guy. As though that wasn't funny enough.
This nobody is challenging to defeat Vettapuli.
Is this some kind of joke? You think it's funny!
Hey, Samara will wallop everybody's face.
Nothing will remain of you.
Daddy, is this how a boxer speaks!
Every move in the ring is a challenge.
Each punch matters!
That’s why we stayed on top for so long!
You bring a toddler and expect us to dance to your tunes!
Rose, a trained eye can spot the best in no time.
Alright, let him be as good as you claim.
Get him to fight a good boxer.
I will set up a match with Vettapuli if he manages to win.
A good boxer?
Aren't you good, Rose?
Take him on. You will be sprawled on the floor.
I am ready to fight. Right here, right now.
Rose, watch what you say. Don't provoke him to fight you here.
Ranga, have you forgotten Dancing Rose's boxing capabilities?
That boy won't hold beyond 2 rounds.
What if he does? Samara, what do you say?
Rose claims I won't hold beyond 2 rounds.
- I will finish him off before that. - That's my boy!
I will finish you off here.
Rose, stop!
He is provoking you. Don't give in.
Two rounds is all I need.
Are you serious?
Coach, let him do what he says.
- I will take him on after that. - He said it, you bugger!
He said it. That's it. The match is set.
No one else should speak.
Samara will close the match in 2 rounds.
He will fight Vettapuli next.
Vettapuli, see you in the ring.
Hey, do you even know what you are doing?
They are volunteering for a washout.
Let's finish them off.
You will defeat him in Round 1. He is just a rookie!
Agree to this match, Rose. Ask for a good sum.
- He is luring you into this. - It is his loss.
I have been waiting for a fun match.
This joker will be the best opponent.
Chandra, I am ready.
I agree to the match if you agree to double up the pay.
Expenses are skyrocketing. What do you say, daddy?
There is a consensus, finally!
Rose, a huge throng is awaiting your return.
All this drama to defeat Vettapuli!
Vettapuli...
Samara, is going to defeat Rose.
Coach, I am awaiting that day.
Look what they have done to him.
Look, how he has thrashed him.
Rangaiyaru is the reason behind all of this.
Now they have fixed a match between Rose and that boy.
I will finish him off tonight.
Don't do anything that will prevent me from representing the clan.
That boy will never win against Rose.
Stay calm. Alright?
- Are you ready? - What is wrong with him?
- What say? - Let’s finish him off!
Who is the idiot who said he'd defeat Rose in 2 rounds?
What a load of bullshit!
Rose is a legend!
This guy is supposed to defeat him in 2 rounds, eh?
Are you that gutsy?
You shouldn't even step into the ring. Scram!
Your game may help you win Vettapuli.
But it will not work with Rose.
Rose has the best footwork in all of Madras.
He moves as effortlessly as a dancer.
That's why he is "Dancing Rose."
Even the opponent clan prays for his victory.
That's how skillful he is.
In boxing, your feet are as important as your hands.
That's when your game is set.
You need to build a strong base.
Don't just punch continuously. The audience can't follow.
I am going to make you run till you are breathless!
Ramudu trained vigorously to prep for the match.
Don't roam the streets. Eat well.
Don’t even dream about liquor and tobacco.
He will fake a punch. Watch out!
Yes, jab! Give me two uppers.
Come on!
You must float like a butterfly in the ring.
But sting like a bee.
Muhammad Ali’s words! Understand?
Look at that intensity!
This will be an easy win.
He shouldn’t have thrown a challenge like that.
Rose, you're going to enjoy this fight.
- How are you? - I’m alright.
Fantastic!
I will respond to all your nonsense in the ring.
Two rounds, remember.
- Hey! - Hey, get moving.
It should have either been him, or you.
Where did this boy come from?
Left jab!
Look how he is moving! Guard up.
Duck his punch. Go on!
Stop! What’s wrong with you?
Why are you freaking out?
- Hey, stop! - Let go!
He isn't better than you.
Get this into your head.
‘You and your stupid gloves!’
Samara, let Rose be as big as they all claim!
Opportunities don't come our way so easily.
This is our chance. Make your enemy tremble in fear.
Move with courage, Samara. Our time has arrived.
Give me a back pedal. Move!
Dodge!
Come on! Don’t panic!
Take the load upstairs. Don't drop it to the ground.
Just 2 matches.
First Rose. Then Vettapuli. I want to help Coach win his bet.
After that I will never box.
It's Mom I worry about.
Cheer up!
You focus on winning the match. I will make your mom understand.
That's all I need.
Punch his face!
‘Get up!’
Boxing was our sport.
You could punch only on the face.
- That's how it was here. - Where?
In the localities surrounding the port.
Our people worked for the Whites.
They taught their version of boxing to entertain themselves.
Grandpa Venkatramana was the first to defeat a British boxer.
He was the one who trained us after the British left.
We were all part of a single clan then.
Then we split into 2, and then into 4.
I remained in the Sarpatta clan. My brother shifted to Idiyappa clan.
Siblings or not, clans mattered more than life.
Each of us wanted our respective clans to win.
Sarpatta was in the lead.
Everyone tried to defeat us.
Boxers from Mysore were brought in.
Foreigners were brought in from the port.
Nothing worked.
The boxers who were in the forefront were me, your dad...
- What was the name of Ramudu's uncle? - Munnusamy.
- Yeah, Munusamy!
Then there were Murthi, Beedi Rayappan--
Daddy here was a phenomenal boxer too.
No one could defeat us.
Your dad lost his way and got himself killed.
The rest of us stuck to the clan.
We were the best. But now...
Rose and Vettapuli have destroyed our clan.
You take care.
- Rest well. - Alright, Coach.
- Come on. Let’s go! - Go on!
Are you thorough with everything?
Wait up!
- What man? - Samara, come here.
Daddy, go on!
I will take care of him. Leave!
Stay here tonight.
- Veera! - Yes, Pa.
Come here.
Yes, Pa!
Samara is your responsibility till he reaches the ring tomorrow.
- Take good care of him. - I will, Pa.
Nagaiah is waiting for a chance to attack.
- I will take care of him. - Sure? Alright.
Careful. Sleep well.
Don't worry, Pa. I will take care of him.
Eat well, Samara.
- Don't hold back. - That's enough.
Did you lock up?
I did lock up.
Keep a watch. None of you must sleep tonight.
If there is anyone suspicious, take them down.
We will be on alert, brother!
[Veera screams]
- Veera! - Move!
Hey, Veera!
What happened?
- Hey, Veera! - Who are you all?
- Who are these people? - Samara, get away from here.
- Hold on, brother! - Samara, I will take care of them.
- Samara, leave! - Brother, no!
- Samara, they will kill you. Run away. - No!
Move back, Veera!
- Samara, run away. - No, you leave!
Hey, Samara, leave from here.
Run away! Scoot, you all!
Get lost!
Veera, don't mention this to Coach.
Veera!
- What's all this? - You have usurped my place.
Hey!
I have spent all my life dreaming of becoming the best boxer.
It should have been me next in line.
Where did you come from? What's the point of me, then?
It should be me in the ring. You ruined it all.
You are the reason I lost the chance.
- No! - Get out of here.
- Veera, this is unfair. - Go, I said.
Go! Get lost!
Stop, I said. Why would you do this?
What's wrong with you?
Hey!
I should be the next in line.
Run away, Samara!
Where is he?
- I will kill him. - Coach, stop it!
- Let me go! - Coach, don't get angry.
How can I not be angry? Look at what he has done.
I am furious.
I don't need anyone.
I will take care of this on my own.
Get everything ready.
- Leave! - Okay, coach.
[Announcer] 'The audience have arrived!'
Come on!
Samara brother! You never need a ticket after this.
Son of Boxer Late Munirathnam!
The young man to secure direct entry to the mainboard.
Samara has entered the ground with his coach.
‘It is not easy to secure a mainboard as your debut.’
‘Samara is a lucky man. That too a match with Dancing Rose.’
Make sure he isn’t beaten to pulp. Say what?
Coach is going to lose badly.
Now they will come to us.
Let my son lose, Mother Mary.
Grant me this wish!
Roses are women's favourite. Dancing Rose is everyone's favourite!
‘We present to you, Dancing Rose!’
‘Watch that stylish entry.’
Watch what I do to you!
Do what you said. 2 Rounds!
Finish him in the 1 round. Make your punches powerful.
Samara, just 2 rounds. Wallop him child.
Boxers, come forward. Rose, step forward.
‘The audience is ready. So is our favourite Rose!’
This guy mustn’t win.
Rose, move back!
- Just 2 rounds! - Box!
‘Wow, what a punch. Look at that style!’
Don't worry. Go on!
‘Wow, look at that!’
‘Rose is the best, I say.’
- Samara! - Take that joker down.
Come on!
‘He doesn’t stand a chance against Rose.’
Brother Mallesh Annan can be seen enjoying the match!
‘Dancing rose always draws the best crowd.’
Let's see how he defeats Rose in 2 rounds.
‘Rose will finish him off in just 2 minutes.’
‘That’s it, Rose! We all missed these moves, didn’t we!’
‘Punch! Yes!’
‘What a punch that was!’
‘Rose is slithering like a snake!’
‘Situation states that Samara will be down sooner than expected.’
‘It doesn't look good for Samara.’
‘Come on! Hey, come on!’
‘Wow, he has managed to hit Rose!’
‘He has managed to land a punch on Rose.’
‘Rose won’t let this go!’
‘Watch what happens now.’
‘Rose is up. Come on!’
‘That’s it. He is back!’
‘It's tough to fight Rose even for a round.’
See you in Round 2, Rose!
‘Punches from Samara spells, Rangaiyaru.’
Couldn’t you finish him off in Round 1? Why are you moving in?
Listen to me, Rose!
Samara, what are you doing? Concentrate!
Kevin, shut up!
Defeat him in this round. Alright!
‘What's happening?’
‘First round didn't go as expected.’
‘Samara, got an advantage in the 1st round.’
‘This might be his game.’
‘That boy has landed the first punch’
‘Rose, make him run for his life.’
‘Wow, he is missing Rose’ punch’
‘What is happening here!’
Samara's game is strong. You could never tell it's his debut.
Rose, thrash that boy!
‘Hit him!’
‘Samara, come on take him down.’
Samara or Rose? Who is it going to be?
‘The match is picking momentum. Will Rose close him in 2 rounds?’
‘Or will Samara finish him off?’
‘We will know the result in few seconds.’
‘Will Samara earn his chance to fight Vettapuli?’
Hey, enough with the games. There is only 30 seconds left!
How much time is left?
30 seconds more!
Finish him off!
What a punch! Looks like Samara will be knocked out.
‘It's going to be tough to defeat Rose.’
- ‘Samara, has dropped his guard!’ - Guards up, Samara!
‘Samara, guards up!’
Don't drop your guard, Samara!
Rose!
Rose, hit him.
Rose!
Six.
Seven.
Samara has knocked out Rose in Round 2!
Nailed it!
That's all you got?
‘Sarpatta’s Samara has defeated...
Dancing Rose just as he said he would.’
‘Smile returns to Coach Rangaiyaru's face at last.’
‘The main attraction is yet to come.’
‘Vetapulli, are you ready to accept the challenge?’
Coach, I accept your challenge!
- I will fight him. - Shut up, Vettapuli!
Chandra, set the match. I will kill him in this very ring.
Samara, it is between you and me now!
- I am waiting! - Me too!
Let’s go!
Pa...
I am sorry.
Samara...
forgive me.
I will beat you death, you scoundrel. How dare you do such a thing?
Coach, let him go. It was just a mistake.
How can you call that a mistake?
Didn’t I trust him with you!
Now my blood is boiling.
I will slaughter him now.
Yeah, just kill him!
Someone like him shouldn't live.
He's dedicated his life to boxing. Why not give him a chance?
Why not show him the affection you shower on strangers?
Listen. Shut up!
Haven't I told you not to talk to my dad this way?
He is punishing me for my mistake. What's it to you?
Oh, so defensive about your dad?
Does he love you as much?
I refused him the chance because I love him.
You need a certain technique to defeat Vettapuli.
You don't have what it takes.
Why would I reject you if you were good?
You bloody waste. You call yourself my son!
Did you hear him?
He thinks you are not fit to be a boxer.
Put all this aside and do something worthwhile.
Mention boxing again and you will earn my wrath.
Fine, what can your wrath do?
Why do all of you pick on my son like this?
Shut the hell up.
Only I know how he suffers every single day.
His nights are sleepless.
"My dad doesn't trust me. Nobody believes in me"
How he laments! He is only human, right?
Why are you crying?
I am no good, Pa. I give up
I shall never step foot into the Sarpatta club again.
- Hey, stop crying! - Shut up, Mom.
Take him inside.
Hey, come inside. Come on!
How they bully you!
Keep your sport to yourselves. Come in!
I wasn't offended by what he did. Why all this, Coach?
- I am unable to accept this. - Stop it, you old bugger!
Bible says to forgive those who repent.
Forget it, Coach.
Let's prepare for the match against Vettapuli.
Come on, Muhammad Ali!
- Come on, Samara! - What’s all this?
- You are the talk of the village. - What's happening?
- A much-awaited victory of one of our own. - Gautham, what is this?
People have lined up till the harbour to see you.
“You're the talk of the town Let the beats begin.”
“Tough times are gone Let the dance begin!”
“Here comes, Samara!”
“No one can mess with him.”
“He is here, give way.”
“Take your show elsewhere.”
“He will spin you like a top He will beat your lights out!”
“There is none like you Your victory proves it true.”
“Watch out for him Your gimmicks will never win.”
“Come one, come all Let’s celebrate and dance!”
“Don’t mess with him Don’t regret it then.”
“You're the talk of the town Let the beats begin.”
“Tough times are gone Let the dance begin!”
“Here comes, Samara.”
“Don’t you mess with him.”
“Give way for Samara.”
“His time has begun.”
“He flies high, as a kite He will never lose, try as you might”
“Fireworks trumpet his victory He's the king of the ring.”
“Watch out for him Your gimmicks will never win.”
“Come one, come all Let’s celebrate and dance!”
“Don’t mess with him Don’t regret it then.”
“You're the talk of the town Let the beats begin.”
Samara!
What a fantastic match that was!
You were phenomenal. You defeated him just as you said!
- Hand me that garland. - Brother!
Take this sword!
Hey, stop this! Who are you all?
What's all this nonsense? Leave!
Sister, don't you know who I am?
Of course I do. Am I blind?
One victory and you are all hounding him already.
Get the hell out! What more do I have to witness?
-Daddy, ask her to be respectful. - It’s okay. Relax!
Samara, warn your mother.
Mangamma will sort you out.
“Girl with a pearl nose ring Watch her walk with a swing.”
“Groom in cloud nine Bride like a sunshine.”
“Ward of the evil eye Beat the drums sky-high”
“Garlands with money Let the feast be yummy.”
“In a glistening new attire Our bride is a slayer.”
“Don’t be so rigid Dance, let’s see it!”
“Let the evil be gone She is now one of our own.”
“Listen to our song Let the celebration go on!”
‘Look!’
“Stop messing with him”
“Don’t regret it then.”
“Stop messing with him.”
“Don’t regret it then.”
“You're the talk of the town Let the beats begin.”
‘Come on, take a picture.’
Hey, come closer.
Ramudu!
Hey, why aren't you ready?
To go where?
What do you mean where?
To the studio, for the photoshoot.
And be a spectator? I can't put myself through that shame.
It is shameful only if you didn't go.
Our family has a right over the clan.
Never give that up. Get up!
Get ready, I said.
Samara, give a big smile.
You need to look as handsome as your dad.
Welcome, Ramudu!
What’s up. Munirathnam’s son?
Coming atop a horse! You are lucky!
I will come in an airplane, if I wish. What do you care?
Of course, you will. The wind is favorable to you now.
Don't forget that you are fighting Vettapuli.
It's Vettapuli you should be warning. He is facing Samara, after all.
Aren't you gloating a little too much for a single victory?
Ramudu, haven't you mentioned my blows to your Uncle?
He is still in pain, you bugger.
Aren't you, Ramudu?
Get yourself an oil massage. You will be alright.
Can I get you some oil?
Daddy, do we look like a joke?
Yeah, man!
Didn't you warn him about me?
Hey, I know who exactly you are.
You're nothing to me.
You are alive, thanks to my mother.
Shut the hell up and get out.
Get out, you bugger!
- Hold on! - Let go of me.
This is why I didn’t want to come. Why should I put up with these people?
Ramudu, bugger off!
Get lost, idiot!
Why are you like this? Don't mind these buggers.
Don’t wipe your back with a small towel or you’ll get shit on your hands.
Kona Chandra, ask them to make it fast!
- It’s getting late. - Just one moment.
- Position! - Hey!
‘He got scared.’
Vettapuli, this will be your last match.
I will kill you.
Come on! Give it a shot.
Vettapuli, what if he does as he says?
Why is the match more important than his nuptial feast?
Aunty, you don't worry. I will take care of it.
He chose boxing over me.
I am all alone because I didn't control his dad.
Manga, bear that in mind!
He’s a newly-wed. Cut him some slack.
What is it, Mangamma?
You are dazzling!
Can't you see me standing here?
Do you at least remember that you are a married man now?
You are only worried about your match.
- No such thing. - Yeah, right.
Come on. Hook. Left.
Now go to right. That's more like it.
Give me a left cross and then a right!
- Do it. - Come on!
I received the punch on my face.
He missed my right punch and then landed his right fist on my face.
I was shaken by that punch.
Vettapuli! Why are you butting like a bull?
I have only one wish. I want to witness you defeating him.
Get him out of your head. Understand?
Defeat him, Vettapuli!
Stop it! Move back! Move!
‘I heard Vettapuli is doing a bad job at the sparrings.’
Looks like Samara will defeat Vettapuli.
If he ends up winning...
Oh, let him win.
I'd like to see how.
Hey, what if Samara defeats you?
Hear me out!
He doesn’t have a single mainboard win.
Didn’t he still managed to defeat Rose?
Punch harder!
No matter what happens, he mustn't win.
If he does... It's all over.
Hey, Get out!
Go on!
What happened?
We are talking. That's all. Go in, please.
Sit down. Why are you getting worked up?
I will be the happiest person if Samara loses to you.
But...
...if he does win, what happens then?
Only you would know if he is about to win.
Listen!
Just bat an eyelid as a signal. I will take care of the rest.
Alright?
Hey… Buzz off!
- Leave! - What does he want?
‘She hasn't eaten at all. She is worse than you.’
Samara, just eat and sleep.
Alright, Daddy.
Wow, you're dressed to seduce.
Like it matters to you.
Take this inside. Let me have a bath.
What is all this? Put the food out.
- Have you eaten? - Wow!
This is the first ever time you are asking me this since our wedding.
Really...
Go.
I made this.
Really? It tastes just like my mother’s recipe.
Yeah, right.
‘Samara!’
- Coach seems disturbed. - What happened?
I have no idea. He asked me to bring you.
- Just give me a minute. - Make it fast.
Why are you in bed already? Don't you want to eat?
- I don’t want. - Why?
What's with you?
Come.
Come closer and hold me.
I have a match tomorrow. Aren't you worried at all?
Coach has asked me to come.
Eat before you sleep. I am leaving now.
Hey! Stop right there.
Do you even remember that I exist?
Who do you think you are?
I am a part of your life.
You don't have to spoil me or anything.
At least acknowledge my presence.
You come and go as you please. All you do is boxing.
You have been doing just this for 2 months.
I wore this sari for you.
These flowers, this vermillion. All for you.
But you don't even care.
Don't you dare step out of the house today.
‘Samara, Coach will be expecting you.’
Listen, he won't come now. Leave!
Muneer Brother, go ahead. I will join you.
Alright. Make it fast.
If boxing is all you need, why did you marry me? Be honest!
I was so excited about living with you.
Do you even care?
I am not hinting at anything else. Don't worry.
I know about abstinence, too.
Hey, come here!
- What's wrong? - Let go of me.
Why are you grinning like a fool?
I am starving.
Get some food and feed me.
Go, I said.
Go!
He is so huge!
Like a bison.
Why are you fighting him?
Can't you choose an easier opponent?
Hey, the real challenge is to defeat someone like him.
Don't worry. Here.
Why would I be scared?
Yeah, go ahead. Swallow my fingers too.
‘Left - Right.’
Now jab left. Keep at it.
What happened, Samara?
What's wrong? What happened?
It's nothing, Coach.
Hey, can't you be more careful?
Alright. It’s okay.
That's it. Almost done.
I am fine, Coach. Don't worry.
That's it.
Move your wrist.
- Does it feel okay? - Yes.
That's enough. Let's concentrate on the match.
Take it easy.
Sleep well.
Daddy, make sure he gets home safe.
- Go on! - Okay!
- ‘See you all at the match.’ - ‘Alright.’
Muneer, we must get him to the match safe.
‘Don't worry, Coach. He will be fine.’
How can I not worry?
Our own clansmen are unhappy about his victory against Rose.
The moment he defeats Vettapuli...
I will get on that stage, and with all those people watching...
I will scream with joy at the victory of Sarpatta clan’s Venkatramanan lineage.
Even if I were to die right that moment, I would do so gladly.
‘Why do you say such things. You think we would let that happen?’
‘You're right.’
‘Coach, only good things will come to someone as good as you.’
‘In a little while...’
Idiyappa clan's Vettapuli will face Sarpatta clan's Samara in the ring.
All you have to do is blink, Vettapuli.
Everything is set. I will do the rest.
- What do you say? - Get lost!
‘Coach Rangodu is on stage with his loyal disciple, Samara.’
‘Samara has become a superstar in a single match.’
‘He is more popular than Vettapuli now. See how the crowd is celebrating him.’
Finish him off. Go on!
‘Both sides are coming forward for a handshake.’
‘Vettapuli has received the first punch.’
‘Looks like Samara will win the bet for his Coach, after all.’
‘Keep your guard on. Jab him!’
‘Samara has the upper hand now.’
‘Vettapuli lands 2 punches. Samara retaliates.’
'They are raining punches on each other.'
'Samara has cornered Vettapuli'
‘Vettapuli is retaliating.’
‘Wow, Samara is punching so hard.’
‘Samara is unstoppable.’
‘Vettapuli pushes him away. Samara comes back.’
Come on!
‘You aren’t Vettapuli's first opponent, remember!’
‘Whoa, Vettapuli is being thrashed’
‘Looks like he will win in Round 1.’
‘Whoever thought Samara would be so good?
Looks like he will finish off Vettapuli.’
Exactly my love!
Straight punch.
Hey, what is wrong with him?
‘Where did Coach Rangodu find this prodigy!’
What is happening with Vettapuli?
‘Vettapuli doesn't stand a chance against Samara.’
Thrash him, Vettapuli!
That’s it.
Punch his face!
- ‘Stop the match. Stop’ - Listen to the announcement.
‘The ruling Government in Tamil Nadu has been dissolved by the Centre.’
The Government has been dissolved. We have orders to arrest DMK members.
It's better if you co-operate.
- How dare you arrest him? - Take him away.
I am a proud party cadre. I am not scared of anyone.
I will be right here.
The match will end soon. Take me anywhere you wish after that.
Chandra, ask him to wait there.
You made a laughingstock out of us. What is wrong with you?
Resume! I am telling you.
Continue!
Can you continue? Alright.
Vettapuli, keep your guard on!
Come on, Samara!
Come on!
‘Coach!’
Oh, no, Vettapuli!
- ‘What's happening?’ - He's done for good, Coach.
Hit him!
‘Resume the fight.’
Go check on him!
What happened to him?
Go check on Samara! Go!
Aren't you ashamed of yourself?
Rose, stop!
Come. Let's go.
‘Hey, get lost!’
Get up.
Hey, Samara!
‘Samara’
Move out of the way.
Samara!
Buzz off all of you!
Samara!
They prevented Sarpattta's victory, Daddy.
No. They prevented "your" victory.
They were this malicious towards your dad, too.
It is a personal vengeance, you bugger!
Nagaiah's brother Munusamy wanted your dad to be his slave.
But your dad outgrew him and ruled over Madras.
Isn’t that why they killed my friend.
They are doing the same to you.
Vettapuli should never call himself a boxer!
Vettapuli lost to me! Right, Daddy?
You are right, my boy. He did lose to you!
You won, bugger!
- Any information about the coach? - I don’t know.
I don't have any clue, man.
After the Government was dissolved...
the ruling party cadres were arrested to avoid protests.
‘Under MISA Act!’
‘Nobody’s whereabouts are known. We can’t bail them either.’
‘They have arrested the Chief Minister’s son.’
‘Rangodu doesn’t stand a chance. Pretty sad, huh?’
‘Forget what they say.’
I will find your dad's whereabouts.
For your sake. Join hands with me.
The ruling party has been dissolved. This is a good time.
The harbour is booming with black-marketing.
Wheat, millet, kerosene... everything is up for poaching.
Nagaiah's men are having a field day.
If I was backed by a boxer like you...
I would pocket the entire harbour effortlessly.
Like my hero sang, "Kinsfolk we are. Tribesmen with a common cause."
Why can't we both work together?
We should.
My dad called me a thrift spend, excluded me from his business.
He sidelined me from boxing. I am lost, like a kite in a storm.
Not one soul respects me anymore.
I have to show them my worth.
Just say the word!
I will take care of you. Come!
Listen carefully!
I don’t care what you were in the past.
But I am here now. I am with child, too.
Daddy, tell him to stop all this.
I won't spare you, either.
Samara, what a loudmouth she is.
Just like your mother.
Stop yelling. Didn't I say I will put an end to all this?
I won't put up with your antics, unlike your mom.
‘She is the right match for you.’
Aren't you coming?
- His mother will yell at me. - Stay here, then.
Samara, we found my dad's whereabouts.
He has been locked up in the Central Jail.
- That’s good news. - Yeah.
Brother Mallesh helped me.
My dad has asked to meet you. Come, let's go.
Come on!
What are you thinking about?
‘Daddy, stay back.’
You just gave me your word. And off to your shenanigans.
Hey, I'm just going to meet the Coach.
- Don’t worry. - Get in!
- Where is he off to? - Ask your son that.
He will never change his ways. I curse the day he was born.
‘My life is going to be a struggle. That much I can sense now.’
Hey, Veera, put that back!
Samara, what a game that was!
You brought the mighty Vettapuli to his knees.
You are the superstar boxer from now.
Looks like my dad would make this guy his legal heir!
- ‘He would do anything for a good boxer. - That’s right!’
Stop the car, brother.
This restaurant makes a great rabbit curry.
Coach's favourite dish. Shall we pack some for him?
- Let's go. - Do they allow food in the prison?
‘I can even make them feed him!’
Let's also eat.
- Welcome, Brother Mallesh? - Yeah.
Shut up and eat!
Nagaiah, what is it?
‘Listen, let's go to another restaurant.’
- Pass me that, I said. - Should we leave because he is here?
We came here to eat and we will.
Samara, sit. Ignore him.
Hey, why are you doing this?
‘Take my orders, man!’
‘Two spicy rabbit curries to go.’
'Bring some rice and curry to eat now.'
Why are you glaring at him? Turn around, I said.
Wait for my signal.
They are laying a trap. Let's leave.
Stay calm. Let's see.
- Hey, what is taking so long? - ‘Hey, attend that table.’
Hey, one more curry!
- Why aren’t you eating? - Shut up!
‘That’s it!’
Is the takeaway ready?
- Make it fast. - Samara, eat.
- What are you looking at? - Veera!
Do you need the same treatment as him?
- How dare you? - One more word and I will kill you.
Hey, spare no one!
Think you could destroy me?
Come on, Samara. You did the right thing.
- DIE! - Get out of here.
We warn you!
Come on, Samara!
- It's okay, brother. - What the hell?
- What if he dies? - [Samara whimpering]
Ma, I made a mistake.
Didn't I warn you? Didn't I? Why didn't you listen?
I knew it would come to this. I knew they would do this to you.
You wielded a weapon!
Why? Why would you do this?
Did I give birth to you for this?
You are no son of mine. I don’t need you!
Get lost!
Samara!
Stop your wailing!
It's not like you killed the guy. Just go to sleep.
We will get out of here soon.
I will kill you if you snore.
‘See you, sir.’
- What's up, Daddy? - ‘Welcome!’
Brother Mallesh, how are you?
- Stop yelling. - Alright, sir.
What are you standing there for? Come.
Daddy, what's with all this weight gain?
Keep walking.
‘They would have kept us in, if not for you.’
Getting you out was an arduous task.
Samara, he is lucky to be alive after your brutal attack.
‘They have been waiting for you to get out.’
Be careful. That's all I can say.
Brother, we should put an end to this.
Let's call for a mediation.
You preside over it.
What do you say, Samara?
Daddy, make him understand.
What do you say, Samara?
‘Hey, Mangamma. Hey, Child!’
‘Manga, look who has come.’
This is what you wanted, right?
Did you even think about us?
Look at you. You have no shame.
Enough!
Get him out of those clothes. Take him in after a bath.
Do we need all this?
‘Listen, let's put an end to all this.’
You should be proud that we let you off the hook so easily.
Another move from you, and we won't remain quiet.
Is that so? Let's see.
Hey, do you want to see more?
‘We will destroy you!’
Not too long ago, your people begged us for food.
But now...
Watch your mouth! Don't talk rubbish.
How dare you come here for mediation after all that you did?
‘Stop! The state of affairs is so bad now.’
No arrack. No smuggling.
They have just come out serving a 6 month sentence.
Isn't that enough?
Fine. I will let it all go. Sit!
‘Come on!’
Tell him to clean my house and clear the carcass when my cow dies.
If I'm pleased with his service, I will spare him.
Or I will chop you the way I did your dad.
I am nothing like my dad.
Nagaiah's men are still distilling arrack, despite our warnings.
‘Let's go take care of that.’
‘Destroy everything.’
Get out, all of you!
- Veera, let's run this business. - Let go, Samara.
Hey, their time is up. Let's take over now.
Chase them all out!
Get out!
- You must take care of all this. - Don’t you worry.
Load all the vehicles.
Here drink this.
- No. - It just like tender coconut water.
I am sober, I said.
- Your son has come home drunk! - Not at all.
Cheers!
Mix it well.
Buzz off!
- Ma, take this. - What do I need this for?
- One slap. - How dare you?
Stop hitting me, Ma.
How dare you hit your mother!
- Get out of my house. - I will kill you!
- Get out! - Come on!
Don't ever step into this house again.
- Look who's here. - Welcome, brother.
Please accept this money.
- Please accept it - Take the money.
Hey, take it. He is offering it with love.
Hide it properly.
Move fast. Come on.
- Here! - Is that the way to serve?
Why are you shouting? Huh?
- How dare you talk that way? - Stop that.
You are the reason behind this.
Don't you dare shout at him. I will kill you!
‘Hey. start the fireworks.’
‘What's happening?’
- You're my life, brother. - That's about right.
Here!
Take her!
Why do you ignore my child for his behavior?
You horrible woman.
Come, let's go!
‘I asked Mallesh for some quick cash.’
‘He refused it so bluntly.’
‘He doesn't like my growth.’
We should just do this on our own.
Do what you must. I will be stand by you.
Are you sure? Let's do this!
I hear that you are operating on your own now.
I treated you as my own. I even got you into the political party.
This is how you thank me.
I am not Nagaiah. I will finish you off.
Shut up!
What are you all looking at?
Hey, get lost!
We run this place now. Understand?
Check what they need.
Give him that.
Keep this, sir.
Be careful.
Sit, darling.
Sit. Come on!
How's it?
This is for you. Wear it.
You think you are being fair?
You had such aspirations, and look what you've become now.
Even my father didn't respect me.
Nobody from the clan did.
They said Samara was the best.
Samara is at my beck and call now. You know that?
'Don't worry!'
Hey, what's wrong with him?
I won’t stop.
That’s enough, I said.
Mangamma, come out!
‘How dare you sleep?’
- Hey, I am walking right! - What has become of you.
Look what they have done to me. Drink this.
Let me take care of it.
I took such good care of them.
‘Sister, have you seen my husband?’
‘He is passed out around the corner.’
Look at your father!
Samara, get up!
Come on!
Get up. Let's go!
Samara!
Who is that?
Samara, get up. Someone is here.
Wake up, Samara.
- What happened, Mangamma? - Leave him alone.
Let go off me.
- Sister, take my child. - Why are you all shouting?
Brother, let him go!
Samara, get up.
Come on! Fight me.
I'll...
Leave. Leave, all of you. Get lost!
Run away, all of you. Leave!
‘Mangamma, what's happening?’
‘Mangamma, get up.’
Hey, Samara!
What the heck? Get up, man.
Let go of me.
Come now. Hey, where are you?
Stop it. Shame on you!
Would anyone even believe this nonsense?
Even a child would piss on your face if you lose control.
Did you think of me for one moment?
What would we have done if they had killed you?
You shouldn't even be alive. Die!
- Stop it, Mangamma. - Shut up, Daddy.
I can't live another day with him. Let me go.
- You're drunk! Let go of me. - Go on!
- Buzz off! - Samara, stop it.
Hey, where are you all hiding?
I will take on all of you.
I will be right here. Come on!
Hey, who is that?
[Sings] "Hey you bigwig I am not who you mess with!"
- What do you say? - You are wrong, Pa!
Hey, put that back.
This is why I never come out with you.
I'll slap you.
Who here can question me? Huh?
Samara! I lost my way. Do you hear?
Hold on to your mother and come up in life. Okay?
‘Who is that?’
Hey, who are you all?
- Hey! - Brother?
- Go! Get back! - Who are you people?
- Stay calm! - Who the hell are you?
- Come with me. - Take the child and leave.
- Go, I said. - Leave him alone.
- Don’t do anything. - Get out of here.
- Samara, leave. - Pa, please come with me.
Come with us!
Mangamma!
Hey, where are you?
Mangamma!
I shouldn't have done this. I put my child's life in danger!
Why did you leave me, Mangamma?
What am I going to do?
- Forgive me! - Why are you apologizing now?
How much I put you through...
- Forgive me! - Yeah right. Cut the act.
What would become of you if I leave you too?
Go wash your face and drink what you want. There is tea and alcohol.
I shall never drink again. This is a promise.
Don't you dare make a promise in the child's name.
I've had it with your false promises.
She hasn't stopped crying since last night.
She's so shook up.
They attacked me only because I was drunk.
Nobody would have laid a finger on you if I was in my senses.
- I should finish them off. - Do that and get arrested.
Why should you worry about me or her?
You will never change your ways, ever.
- Wait and watch. - Of course I will.
Go have a bath first. Remove those stinky clothes.
Brother, Coach is getting released today.
Veera is waiting for you near the butchery.
See, someone has already here for you. Go!
Why wouldn't you stop crying?
Samara, it was Mallesh and Nagaiah.
Let's take them out tonight. That will show them.
Hey, don't speak nonsense without thinking.
Don't be in a fit of rage.
Stop everything for sometime. Coach is about to be released.
Come on! Hey, band get over here.
Brother, start playing.
Ask them to stop.
Let them play at my funeral. Not now.
Didn't you hear him? Stop!
Enough!
- Stop! - Make them stop.
Give that.
Brother, bring the rickshaw.
- ‘I am coming.’ - Pa, let's go in my car.
Why?
That’s all the cadres?
Coach, the rest have gone to welcome Badraya.
Take this to him, too.
Coach, Ramudu is fighting Vettapuli.
A lot has happened while you were gone.
Look, your son has joined with the opposition.
I don’t know where all this would lead to.
‘Coach has been released on time to watch the fight.’
‘You're right it's going to be interesting.’
‘They've spent a lot for this fight.’
‘Is it true that lots of money has been spent?’
‘The have gone out of their way to make this happen.’
You think Ramudu can win?
Setting a match with bribe is called gambling, not game.
Eat!
- Eat some more. - That’s enough.
‘If Vettapuli and Ramudu are fighting, is it part of the Coach’s challenge?’
‘How is it Rangodu's match? Did he choose the player?’
‘Coach Murthi is setting this game. It’s not Rangodu's game.’
- ‘This has nothing to do with Rangodu.’ - Then explain the prize money?
‘Vettapuli's punches reverberate like thunders.’
‘Will Sarpatta's boxer Ramudu tackle the mighty Vettapuli?’
- Announce that Coach Rangodu is here. - Coach Rangodu has arrived!
Rangaiyaru is here.
Coach, watch Ramudu's game now.
Sarpatta clan is ours now.
Self confidence is good.
But arrogance is bad. It will destroy you.
Come on, Coach. Welcome.
Welcome coach. Please sit down.
‘You all must be wondering what happened with Rangan's challenge.’
‘For the 4th year in a row, no one has managed to defeat Vettapuli.’
‘Will the curse be lifted today?’
‘Ramudu is hell-bent on compensating for his lost chance.’
‘Anything might happen today. Let's see!’
‘Whoa! That was a powerful punch.’
‘Vettapuli has been crushing him.’
Come on! Punch him.
Finish him!
Come on!
What is this!
Calls himself a boxer. Shame!
Hit him! Move!
‘Ramudu has lost to Vettapuli. He can be seen sprawled on the floor.’
‘Vettapuli has defeated the Sarpatta clan, yet again.’
Hold on!
Coach Rangaiyaru, will you ever defeat me?
I am still waiting for your challenge match.
Arrange that soon.
Vettapuli, why are you gloating now?
It is not like you defeated an equal opponent.
Poor Ramudu. Defeating him doesn't matter.
Oh, look who is talking?
Are you drunk? Did you land here by accident?
You shouldn't speak. Get out!
Shut up, you bloody fellow!
You teamed up with Nagaiah to avoid defeat.
You stopped the match, you coward. If you can talk...
...why can't he, who defeated you, speak?
- What a freak, man? - Daddy!
- Don't talk rubbish. - Coach! That's the truth.
You could have stopped the game.
Have you forgotten Vettapuli wailing?
Nonsense! The match stopped midway.
- I would have killed you otherwise. - What the flick?
Rose is the only decent human in your clan. He accepted defeat.
You are just a coward.
You are no tiger, you are a scoundrel.
- How dare you? - You lost to me.
Ask the audience, if you please.
Vettapuli, you lost the match on Round 4.
Yes. You lost the match. Accept your defeat!
- You lost! - Shut up!
You are a loser!
- Fight me now. Let's see! - You better leave.
You are a loser. You lost!
‘Shut up and leave.’
[Sings a lullaby]
[Lullaby continues] 'What's this?'
Your dad has come home early.
What a surprise. How come you are home early?
Did you turn up by mistake?
Look, Gunavathy!
Your dad has come home sober for the first time since your birth.
Hey, I wasn't feeling great.
I wanted to be with you.
So you do think of us, huh?
Brother, Veera sent for you.
Here comes the home-wrecker.
Don't hesitate. Leave!
Tell him I won't come.
Mangamma, what I did was wrong.
I won't repeat this.
Believe me.
If you don't believe me, who will?
My mother has disowned me too.
Hey, stop crying. Will you?
I am here for you. What more do you need?
Our family will do better if you stop drinking.
Quit that ugly habit. That's all I ask.
I will show you that I have changed. Watch!
I have brought your favourite beef biriyani.
Come, let's eat.
Samara. Come out, you bugger.
It's me... Daddy. Come fast.
- Morning, you bugger. - Wow! so early.
Why have you brought the Contractor?
Gauthaman, why are you all here so early?
It is regarding something important. Finish washing your face.
- Here! What's up? - That's all the water you will offer?
Hey, buy something from the shop.
Why are you shouting? Wait.
- Why do you keep yelling, man? - Rani!
Sit, Brother.
‘Buy two drinks. Keep the change. ’
- ‘With lots of sugar.’ - ‘Sure sister’
Vettapuli wants a match with you. He has sent word.
'What do you say, huh?'
You called him a loser in front of everyone.
So did the audience.
He didn't let me sleep a wink.
I don't care what you have to do.
I need a match with him.
Every single clan in Madras is mocking me.
Only if I defeat him can I retain my pride.
Looks like he has forgotten all the blows he received.
He needs a reminder
Hey, I know your plan!
Are you making him fight knowing he would lose?
- Shut up, Daddy. - Don't you know Samara?
If he gets back in form he will defeat everyone.
Don't speak nonsense.
He has given 5000 rupees as a token!
Does he think I am after his cash?
Brother, fighting him isn't a problem.
Accept then. We can figure out who is the best.
- Am I not right? - He is chickening out, you bugger.
- Who is chickening out? - You!
Everyone knows who is the best. I don't have anything to prove.
All you could talk about last night was defeating him.
Do that. The opportunity has come knocking.
Hey, stop it.
Why would you agree? You don't want to change your ways.
Samara, how long are you going to be this way?
You know how hard it is for someone from our neighbourhood to make it big.
Everyone is feeling let down.
Return to boxing, for their sake.
As if he would.
Nonsense! He is just an alcoholic.
Surprisingly, you didn't drink yesterday.
It was so nice.
You could quit alcohol. Why don't you agree, just for that?
Will Coach Rangodu agree to this?
Daddy, if I agree. Of course he will!
He is waiting for this moment. Don't worry.
Why wait then? Let's go talk to him.
What do you say, Coach?
Shut up and leave before I swear at you.
Look at Samara! How can he fight?
He thinks he can defeat unfit boxers and claim victory over us?
Ranga, Samara is still as good.
Don't you think I know who can, and who cannot?
Does he think boxing is as simple as drinking?
Wielding a weapon and boxing are not the same thing.
Slashing with a knife is easy. Boxing isn’t that.
The day he laid hands on a weapon...
he lost his credibility as a boxer.
What are you saying, Coach?
A man can never change his ways, is it? Will he remain the same?
He is trying to set his life straight. How can you talk this way.
I wish the same for him.
He became the person his mother feared he would become.
If he wants to mend his ways,
ask him drop the weapon and take up a job.
I will get him a job. Let him take care of his family.
Instead...
Samara, I beg you to leave the clan alone.
Ranga. Stop this. Why don't you trust him?
Hey!
Listen Contractor, that is my game.
Let me give you a good opponent.
Hey, ask Kumar to come forward.
- Kumar! - Hey, come forward.
- Coach! - He is good on the sideboard.
I will train him. Ask them if that's okay.
What are you saying?
You trust a newbie. Why wouldn't you trust Samara?
This is why I left boxing.
Now you want Samara out too?
One more word and I will thrash you.
You are the reason behind all this.
You ruined his life and now you pretend like the good guy?
Samara, stay away from this guy.
If not your life will be ruined.
Yeah, right. He’s a child who doesn’t know what he’s doing.
- I ought to kill you. - Coach, stop!
This is how you ruin all our lives.
- Do you want your word to be the order? - Yes!
Veera, watch what you say.
Samara can never take on Vettapuli.
Contractor, stop messing with us. Leave!
Why? Where there is will, there is way!
Samara, I will stand by you. Don't listen to these old men.
Wow! Stop all this drama.
I don't want to have anything to do with you.
I will tell Vettapuli that...
Samara is scared. And so is the Coach.
In fact, the whole clan is scared that Samara will die in the ring.
If I arrange for a match for you, I will end up on the streets.
Brother, wait!
Coach, who once believed in me, has now turned against me.
My physique may have changed!
But I am as determined as ever.
I haven't been a good son to my mother.
Nor a good husband to my wife.
And today...
...I am not a good student to my Coach
Who am I, then?
I want to mend my ways.
Even if I have to die in the process.
Go tell them. It's time I show them who I am.
I agree to the match!
Hey, make way.
- Come on! - Move!
You go to that side.
You too get in the position.
Welcome, Samara!
So long...
- Careful. His intestines might roll out. - Shut up!
Don't intimidate him.
Come on. It is getting late.
Get closer.
I am going to kill you.
- Hey, how dare you? - Stop glaring!
Come on!
We shouldn’t have let you win. You shouldn’t even be alive.
I will kill you in the ring! Wait and watch.
Coach Rangodu has disowned him.
Don't you have a better opponent?
Let's fix a re-match with Ramudu if you want.
Samara will only ruin the clan's reputation.
Listen to us. We speak on behalf of the clan.
Stop the match. What do you say?
- Stop! - That’s impossible.
Hey, how do you expect me to stop it?
He shamed me in front of so many people.
I will destroy him in that very spot.
Dass, ask him to call off the match if he wants.
Shut the hell up!
All you old buggers have assembled to stop a man from fighting.
Samara will be there and he will fight!
Vettapuli, Samara will see you in the ring!
Good, Daddy. I was so scared.
The match will happen. See you all that day!
Leave now!
I tried my best to convince him.
He is hell-bent on fighting.
We should let Samara fight him.
Everyone will then see what happens.
And if he wins, you will have nothing to lose.
I will be left licking my wounds?
Have you forgotten this scar?
What have you done in return?
I put up with so much for you.
I fixed a match for you with Vettapuli.
You cost me my pride.
Today, you want Samara to get a chance?
He must never rise.
I ask you for one last thing...
defeat him and prove him worthless.
Do you have the guts to do that? Huh?
Get lost!
‘Let him be! Why do you keep bothering him?’
That's about it. Keep punching hard.
Hey, there!
Why don't you spar at my place?
Haven't you gotten enough from me?
Yeah. That's the purpose of my birth. To be beaten up by you.
So why don't you spar with me?
Alright then. But let's not spar there.
We will have it here. People need to witness this.
See you here, then!
- Why should I spare with him? - Hold on!
The entire clan has made a laughing stock of us.
Only if you defeat him will they respect us.
Trust me. Come on! Keep punching.
Won't I do what's good for you?
‘Hey, hit him.’
Hey, Samara, what's wrong with you?
Defeat him!
Thrash him!
‘Samara, what’s this.’
Ramudu, stop it. I am calling a break.
Finish him!
Hey, Veera, stop the fight.
What’s wrong with you, Samara!
Ramudu, move back. I said time out.
Finish him off. Listen to me!
- Do it! - Come on!
Hey, Ramudu, that's enough.
Don’t let him go!
Why are you hurting yourself?
- Don’t go! - Veera, let him go.
I am Samara. I will take you down.
I'm right here!
You should never represent the clan again.
Stop. Where are you running away?
You are running away from him. Shame on you!
- Veera. Stop it. - No. Go on!
But Samara, don't you dare fight Vettapuli!
You are not a boxer at all.
Look how they are gloating! I am ashamed.
I went against my dad's words to support you.
I should have taken his word for it.
My dad was absolutely right.
Everything he said is unfolding now.
Samara, listen to me carefully.
Give up all this.
There is a lot of money in the liquor business.
Join hands with me. What do you say?
- How dare you? - That’s all we are fit for.
Leave him you bugger! I kill you, huh!
- Hey! Wait. - Ignore him, Samara.
- Look at what he is saying. - It’s okay, my child.
Samara, come join me!
‘I still haven't fulfilled my offering.’
- We must go to the shrine without fail. - Ma!
Samara, what happened?
Ma!
Talk to me, Ma!
Please...
Why wouldn't you talk to me?
- ‘Didn't she warn you to never drink?’ - Talk to me, Ma!
In spite of that, you come home drunk?
Mangamma, he didn't drink.
- Yeah, right! - I am not drunk. Believe me.
- Tell her, please. - ‘He is not drunk.’
Hey, what happened? Who hit you?
I am not the man I once was.
The old Samara is no more.
What's all this? Huh?
Ramudu beat me up so badly.
Everyone there laughed at me.
All those who appreciated my game...
are now asking me to step down from the ring.
My foot movement is bad.
My defense is worthless.
My body and brain aren't in synchrony.
Should I just die?
‘Samara, why do you say that?’
I am trying with all my might.
But I am unable to get back into form.
Veera says I am worthless as a boxer.
And that I am only fit to be a liquor peddler.
You surrendered yourself to him!
He wants you as his henchman.
That's why he is doing this.
My own clansmen are calling me unfit.
Am I not a boxer? Am I not?
Let people speak as they please. You are a boxer!
Stop crying. Stop!
I don't think I can do this anymore.
Poison me.
I don't want any of this.
Ma, I want to crawl back into your womb?
Please, take me back. I will feel safe there.
Stop that. Get up.
Why are you crying now?
I prevented you from boxing because...
I didn't want you to become a thug.
But to redeem yourself, boxing is exactly what you need.
You must get back to boxing!
Who prohibited my son from boxing? Huh?
Where can we find the old man with the beedi?
Where else? The old man would be in the sea.
You take him there. Get up, I said.
Hey, Beedi Man? Old bugger!
- How are you? - Hello, Kevin!
That man there, is your dad's friend. 'Beedi' Rayappan!
He was our boxing coach.
Kevin, have you come to dump trash from the land into the ocean?
Someone has played him well. Isn't he Munirathnam's son?
Yeah. Take care of him.
Leave. I will take care of him. Take the oar, go!
Go on, I said.
Go man. Do what he's saying.
‘What is stopping you?’
‘Why do you falter?’
‘Have you lost your strength?’
‘Are you scared they will defeat you?’
‘Why do you want to box again?’
‘Do you want to do this for the coach who disowned you?’
‘Is it for your mother who has asked this of you?’
‘Is it for your wife who dreams of a better life’
‘Is this for Vettapuli who lays in wait to defeat you?’
‘Is it for those who prevent you from winning?’
‘Is this for the people who are counting on your victory.’
'Or are you doing this for yourself?'
‘Throw. Come on! Throw.’
‘You don't end up with a big catch always. Waiting is the key!’
Come on!
“You are your light You are your way.”
“Rest you shall not, now”
“You are your hurdle You are your answer”
“Let your fury, fuel you!”
“Your sweat is your solution”
“Break the veil of fear Your destiny is near.”
“One step forward Your clan will redeem its honor.”
“Move on stronger Future generations will prosper.”
“Let your self-respect take over It’s your chance, fight harder.”
“A mother awaits your victory Rewrite your story.”
“Let your self-respect take over It’s your chance, fight harder.”
“A mother awaits your victory Rewrite your story.”
“You are your light You are your way.”
“Rest you shall not, now”
“You are your hurdle You are your answer”
“Let your fury fuel you.”
Bear this in mind.
Winning one game isn't what you call victory.
It lies in keeping up the fight!
Go catch that crab. Go!
Come on, get up.
Run!
Run... even if no one comes to your aide.
Run... even if one of your own fails you!
Run... ahead of those who overlooked you.
Run... to prove your haters wrong.
Run... if you want to bring change.
Run... Keep running!
Come on!
Keep running!
“Climb your path to victory.”
“There is none like you here.”
“Get yourself back in form.”
“Breathe life into your bones.”
“Among those who disgraced you Hold your head high, walk through!”
“You are your destiny No one will set you free.”
“Break your shackles Let the mighty bend before you.”
“You are your light You are your way.”
“Rest you shall not, now “
“You are your hurdle You are your answer”
“Let your fury fuel you.”
I swear to god. He is going to be sheer magic in the ring.
Hey, Get lost. Nonsense!
“Your breath is your weapon. This is your time to win.”
“Rise like those mighty waves. Crash those who bar your ways.”
“You learnt resistance in your womb Your enemy shudders at the sight of you.”
“You are making history Your victory will be our story.”
“You are your light You are your way.”
“Rest you shall not, now”
“You are your hurdle You are your answer”
“Let your fury fuel you.”
If there is ever a written history on Madras Boxing...
I want to top that list.
- I will be. - Only a loser would cheat.
This is the chance to correct your mistake.
Prove yourself as a decent sport!
Samara! Hey, you are back, Samara.
“You are your light You are your way.”
“Rest you shall not, now”
“You are your hurdle You are your answer”
“Let your fury fuel you.”
Vettapuli, I ask for one last time. What do you say?
I will chop you to pieces if I see you here again.
You know how happy I am!
I feel like I've been re-born.
You, me, our daughter...
- …now another one. - What are you saying?
I am with child now.
Do you want a boy or a girl?
I want you.
A girl it is, then.
Hey, aren't you scared?
Why would I be scared?
You are fine. You will be.
Even your mother stands by you.
What more do you need?
Mangamma, I am scared of losing.
It is a sport. If you lose, you lose.
- Hey, the clan has to win. - Shut up!
What is this constant talk about clan and pride?
Why do you associate clan with pride?
You will win if you fight well.
Don't worry. You will be the one to win.
Samara, nice breeze, it looks like.
I know what you are hinting at, old man. I won't do anything.
Don't worry!
In that case, I will go to sleep.
Will you please shut up?
Let's see you try!
Why are you so salty?
Really? Tastes sweet to me.
- Yeah, sure. - Hey!
What are you both up to? Huh?
It's alright, old man. I am not doing anything.
It was just a kiss.
He has a match tomorrow. What's all this?
- Get out of here. - I won't.
Oh, is that so?
- Raging hormones, huh? - Don't laugh.
Let's see you kiss now.
Look, a whale!
Get up. Get out of here!
- Why should I? - Get up, I said.
Get out from here.
Don't shout, old man.
Suit yourself!
- I'd like to see what you do. - Fine!
I am going to be right here. I won't move.
Take this.
Time doesn't wait for you.
You need to make this time yours!
Bear this in mind.
Go win this for us!
- Everyone's waiting for you. - Is that so?
- Boopalan, is that you? - Brother, no!
Suresha, boxing is all I have left.
I need to get to the ring, brother. I am staying away from all this.
Move, Samara!
Samara, run away!
It's okay, Samara.
Concentrate on the game. Don't pay heed to this.
Finish them off!
- Samara, come! -Daddy!
- I'll kill you like I killed your dad. - Brother, let go!
Hey! Leave, Samara! Go!
Leave, I tell you.
Go to the match. Go!
Go, I will take care of this. Go!
- Watch out, Veera. - Stop!
Go on! Go!
‘Tamil Nadu’s fiercest Sarpatta and Idiyappa clans…’
‘will battle in the ring shortly.’
All bets are closed.
Buzz off from here.
‘The match between these equal opponents will begin shortly.’

Samara, this victory won't just be yours!
It will belong to our people.
Win this for us!
‘Every boxer in Madras is waiting to fight Vettapuli.’

They and their stupid game!

Show them who you are! Pounce on him like a lion!
- Round 2 - Come on, you bugger!
‘Samara is back!’
Keep up your guard and push him back.
‘Hey are you newbies? No hitting after the break is announced.’
‘This match is going to be tough.’
That's my boy!
Keep pounding.
‘Samara. Guard!’
Hey, Samara!
‘Vettapuli keep at it.’
How vengeful he is!

Vettapuli has him cornered.
Finish him off, Samara.
Defeat him!

I'll slap you.
- Get up! - Listen to him!
Get up!
- Defeat him. - Up!
- Get up! - That’s it.
- Up! - Come on!
'That's it!'
‘He's back on his feet.’
‘He is up, alright. Can he fight?’
'Refree is asking if Samara can continue.'
‘Samara says he can.’
‘A round of applause.’
‘The match continues…’
‘What happened? Oh, the round is done.’
I am coming there. Make him sit.
- I am coming. - Hey, make way for coach.
You are fine, Samara! You are!
You will be okay. Nothing!
Is it hurting? What's this?
Is it hurting too much? You will be fine.
‘Give me that towel.’
Loosen up your hand.
That's it.
Coach Rangaiyaru, should we call off the match?
‘What do you say?’
Save Samara's life!
Nothing. Let me do it.
That’s it Loosen up!
Lift your hand. Let's see.
That's it. You are fine.
Look, you know he is approaching.
He is waiting for you to fall.
Charge and finish him off!

‘Targeted punches from Samara.’
Yes. Go on!
‘A punch on the face!’
‘Vettapuli has no plans to hit back?’
‘Is it the champion Vettapuli?’
‘He is tired.’
Come on!
Will Samara lead the next round?
Samara, I can't believe I treated you badly.
- What a game you played! - You taught me everything I know.
No. You proved yourself.
Tharsh him now. Go!
He should tremble in fear.
You are letting Rangodu win!
It's alright.
Let me throw my towel in! Let's ask them for another match.
What do you say?
‘After almost a decade both the clans are in a close match.’
‘We are on Round 10 of this phenomenal game.’
What is he doing?
Right on the face!
Guard up, Samara!
‘Samara is done for.’
He's done for good!
Samara!
Hit him back.

‘Samara, hit him.’
What’s wrong, Samara!
Give me some water.
Drink it.
Samara, look at me. Get up!
- Open your eyes. - You said you would win.
Tell them to not be scared.
‘Your punches has weakened him.’
‘Just 2 more punches, then he's done for.’
Get up, Samara!
Don't let all your efforts go to waste.
Samara, get up!
Don't worry. Take my word.
You will be the one to win!
Listen, he is not better than you!
Get this into your head.
Opportunities aren't handed over to us on a silver platter
This is our time. Make your enemy tremble.

‘Samara from the Black Town has won.’
He won! Victory is ours!
I am from the unbeatable Sarpatta Clan.
I am Coach Rangaiyaru's protegee!

We have won!
The sportsmanship you displayed today is phenomenal!
You didn’t lose!
Your victory is undeniable!
You won, Samara!
Didn't I say you would win?
