Hey Amutha!
Dude! I’m fed up with this.
You study till 2 at night..
And wake up early for work. And I’m the one to suffer.
Just leave already!
[grunts]
[coughs]
Amutha!
Hey! Come out, dude.
Amutha!
Wardeeeeeen!!!!
Title : REGAI
Yes. Morning, sir! -Yes.
What’s the boy’s name? -Amuthan, sir.
Around what time did he go in? -5am, sir.
And nobody saw anything till 6am?
Sir.. I went home last night. Came back just this morning.
Where’s the guy who witnessed it? -Right here sir.
Poor guy. He’s terrified.
[exhales sharply]
Hey! Is some tap open inside?
Water has been pouring on the boy’s head for about an hour, sir.
Then the warden turned the motor off.
Like it was already easy to get finger prints..
And now this.
It’s locked from inside. Arrange to break it open. -Okay, sir.
Son, how are you sure he went to the loo at 4 am?
[gasping] Guys! Break only the lock, guys!
The alarm kept ringing, sir.
He wasn’t waking up. I pushed him to get up.
Weren’t you worried why he was taking so long in the washroom?
He works in the canteen everyday, sir.
I assumed he was at work as usual.. and slept off. [weeps]
Sir!
Hey. -Hey, get the stretcher!
Sir! -Yes, sir?
By the look of the way the boy’s been dead.. it seems like an accidental death.
Why do you think so?
Firstly- the washroom is locked from inside.
Second- there are soap traces on his body.
While he taking the soap from the shelf..
He must have knocked down the acid bottle..
..mixing with the bleaching powder on the floor.
This must have caused a smoke, that he inhaled and died.
But sir.. He could have gotten out when the gas was formed.
Mm. But the circumstantial evidences suggest..
That he must have bent down with his eyes closed, because there was soap on his face.
So he must have inhaled the gas and fainted..
And drowned his head in the bucket and died.
Okay, sir. Collect the samples. -Yeah. We’re on it.
Once the reports are ready.. I’ll send them to the station. -Okay sir, carry on.
Hey! Come here.
Yes, sir?
Hey! Is this how you work?
Don’t you ever clean up after using the bleaching powder?
And you’ve kept a bottle of acid inside, too.
Do you have any sense?
You’ve been working like you don’t care if someone even dies.
-Sir! What?
Sir, he has worked with Vettri sir, in 'Friends of Police'.
He's a friend of Vettri's!?
[phone rings] Hello.
Vettri, this side. -Yes Vettri?
Is it about the hostel death case?
Yes, Sundar. Is the enquiry over?
Yes, Vettri.
All the Forensic and post-mortem reports..
confirm that Amuthan’s death was an accident.
There's nothing suspicious at all.
You knew the deceased, right?
He was like a brother to me. -Sorry for your loss!
Vettri! Vettri!
Come here for a moment.
What is it, mom? I’m leaving for the station.
I told you about a girl, remember? - Thank you, ma'am.
The broker has come to know at what time we’ll go to their place tomorrow.
Mm.. - Hello!
Call the girl's family and give me.
Just a minute.
Hi sir, I’m the marriage broker speaking. -Tell me.
The SI wants to talk to you about the meeting time for tomorrow.
Oh sure. -One moment.
Hello sir. -Greetings, son.
My mother told me it’s a good alliance.
She said the girl works in the IT sector. -Indeed.
It’s best if you find her a groom in the same field.
Why? Are you rejecting our association?
I’m not rejecting, but you should.
Why do you say that, son?
Sir you see… I have applied to join the bomb squad.
I’ll be relieved from the Courtallam station in a week.
I have no clue where I’ll be for the next three years.
Sir? He hung up!
He got it, mom. When will you get it?
Why did sir speak to him like that!?
Why are you doing this Vettri?
If you weren’t interested.. You could have told me!
You didn't have to ask him to call..
Ma’am.. I have brought about 6 alliances so far.
I don’t know what to say anymore!
Oh no, you don’t understand.
Amuthan was like a brother to him.
He has passed suddenly.
That’s what’s bothering him.
Sir is not worried only about the boy, ma’am.
There’s something else. -What’s that?
Sandhya, who was close to sir in the station is getting engaged tomorrow.
How do you know that? -Don’t be shocked already.
I’m the one who fixed her match. Wouldn’t I know!?
Vettri!
Are you still hung up on that girl?
Hey..Vett..!
Ss.. S.. Si.. -Good morning sir!
Sir!
Arun! Had breakfast? -Yes, sir.
Good morning sir!
Constable? Your salute seems off!
Why? I did it right! -Pch. Mhmm.
Nope!
Romance was missing in your salute! -Oh!
SI sir needs romance in the station!? -Of course, ma’am! -Yeah right!
My mother has invited you for the 'bride seeing ceremony'.
What? That’s not fair!
I see you in the station every day!
Now I need to come home to see you? -Look!
This is a Police station. I won’t care that you’re an SI.
You little rascal! -“Rascal”?
My uncle has said that he’ll apply for a loan for our wedding.
Sandhya! How many times have I told you!?
I am not game for taking loans for our wedding.
Let’s keep it simple. At our family deity’s temple.
An amazing Rs.150 cotton saree for you..
And a simple silk dhoti and shirt for me just for Rs.15,000..
Four-Five rings for my hands.
One gold chain for the neck.
That’s enough, sir! Enough! Please stop talking.
I’ll tell my parents, "The guy I like has gone nuts..
find a better groom for me." Happy?
Hey.. Hey! We can reduce 2-3 rings, if you want!
Hey! Who are you?
I came to clean the toilet. -Who asked you?
Sir, I did.
Do you have any sense?
He looks like a college student.
How could you ask him to clean the toilet?
It’s not that, sir. He was riding the foot-board on a bus.
He would have got hit by another bus and died, sir. -Sir!
-Hey! Which college do you study in?
I study Social Science in SRK evening college, sir.
Why did you ride the foot-board in the bus?
Sir, I got late for college today.
And I couldn’t afford to miss this bus. That’s why…
Don’t give me these lame excuses.
You should have left early.
Since I study in an evening college..
I work part-time in a canteen during the day, sir.
And because of heavy workload, I went to the hostel late.
And I have my last exam today, sir.
If I miss the exam, and get an arrear..
my scholarship would get cancelled, sir.
I didn’t know better.
That’s why I rode the foot-board.
Why are you working part-time with exams ahead of you?
I’m preparing for the Civil Service exams.
So I need to join a good coaching class.
It’ll cost me money, sir! That’s why.
Civil Services, it seems!
You heard him?
Right. I’ll ask you a question.
During the British era…
Who was the first Indian to say India should have its own separate laws?
[laughs mockingly] Sir.. If he answers this correctly..
I’ll drop him at his college, myself. -Right. Tell me.
MC Roy. 1941.
He was a Bengali Communist.
There you go. Go drop him.
Yeah right. If foot-board riders become IAS and IPS..
This country will surely prosper! -Arun! Don’t talk unnecessarily.
Boys!
Yes sir! -Sir!
Henceforth, he’s part of our team.
You don’t have to work at the canteen anymore.
You can join “Friends of Police”.
You’ll get a salary of Rs. 5000 per month.
Study well in your free time. Got it?
Thanks brother! -Hey! What’s that?
First you called him “Sir”. And now “Thanks ‘Brother’?”
You know your way around things!
Sir! Amuthan’s parents are here, sir.
[sobbing] Sir!
You wanted him to flourish.. And helped him pursue higher studies!
Little did we know that God had other plans!
Is this why I am still alive? [sobs]
Despite having so many good people around..
At such a young age..
I have lost my son!
He's gone!! -Ma’am, please don’t cry.
Don’t cry, ma’am. Sir will feel bad. Ma’am.
Come here. Come this side, ma’am.
Listen to me. Ma’am! Come here, ma’am.
Sir is there. Come.
Sir! These are all books that you had got for Amuthan.
Sir, his mother asked us to give these to some other kids who want to study.
My brother has given me.
This is not just a book.
It's a new life.
Sir, the Inspector called you.
I’ll be right there.
-Sir! -Yes, come. How was the Delhi seminar? --Sir!
It was useful, sir.
Here. You had applied for the bomb squad, right?
Your approval letter is here.
Just take a look at this one last case.
There was a chain snatching case in Ilanji at 7pm yesterday.
Just go and investigate details about the case.
Sir, this has already happened 2-3 times before in that town.
Hey! Somebody rang the door bell at 7pm, and lured them out..
and snatched a 40 gram gold chain.
Looks like the victim is our ACP’s distant relative.
Take Sandhya along..
Do a formal inquiry. And report back immediately.
Okay? Yes sir.
Also… It’s Sandhya’s engagement tomorrow. Let her go soon.
With your engagement tomorrow, why are you coming for the inquiry?
You can give some excuse and go home..
Why have you unnecessarily applied to join the bomb squad?
Look. Don’t think you can control me anymore.
Wait. I’ll put an end to this right away.
Hello, mom? -Yes, Vettri?
You can fix that alliance, mom.
Then, shall we meet them tomorrow?
No. Tomorrow’s not good.
Tell them we’ll come tomorrow.
Okay.. I'll talk to the broker right away.
Tell me, Suresh!
How did you like the chain I bought you?
It’s as beautiful as you are!
[laughs]
Hey broker!
Mom told me about the alliance you brought. What’s the update?
She's getting married to someone else, next week.
I can’t wait till next week.
You have 2 days. -Why create problems?
What’s that noise?
It’s nothing.
Could be the sound of somebody’s jealousy!
[laughs]
Had dinner?
Not yet. Still on duty.
I’ll go home and have it later.
Have you eaten yet? -Nah! Not yet.
Oh why haven’t you eaten yet? Aren’t you hungry?
Look at the time!
Please eat something!
I don't have you to cook for me!
That’s why I didn’t eat.
If you were to eat only my food..
You’ll have to starve all your life.
Hello? What happened?
Hello? Can you hear me?
Hello! -You can talk later. Let's do what we came for?
I’ll call you after work. Sure, okay.
Are you mad at me? -Yes. -Stay mad.
We are from the Courtallam station.
Is this the house where the chain was snatched?
Yes, this is the one.
Sir, don’t get me wrong.
Do y’all ever patrol or not?
Just a minute!
Constable Sundaram? -Yes sir?
Ask our Ilanji patrolling team to go undercover. -Right sir.
If anyone seems suspicious.. Don’t let them go without proper inquiry.
Right sir. We’ll do it.
You were saying? -I was asking if y’all ever patrol or not.
That’s exactly why I was on that call now.
Tell me about the chain snatching incident.
Tell me, ma’am. What happened?
I had locked the main door..
and was working in the kitchen, sir.
I heard somebody knock on the back door.
I went to open it.. -Can we see it?
Yes, sure sir. -Come.
Just the main door? Or did you also open the grill gate?
I only opened the main door, sir.
Mm... And?
As I opened the door..
I saw someone who had covered their face with a towel.
They quickly snatched the 40 gram chain from my neck.
Before I could realize.
Then they pushed me inside, locked the door and ran away, sir.
Mmhm..? Tell me more.
Before I could get up and open the door, they were gone, sir.
Sir? We’ll find them, right?
Yeah. Can I get some water?
Sir, there was no chain snatching here.
What do you mean?
Are you saying my wife is lying?
Uh… Yeah.
Constable! Would your chain weigh about 16 grams?
Could be, sir. -Mm.
Step in and come close to the gate. Come on.
Ouch! -Uh-oh!
Look. When the chain was pulled, her neck started bleeding.
Do you see it?
It was just 16 grams.
And your wife had worn a 40 gram chain.
But she looks fine, sir.
Poor woman! Your wife is bad at lying.
Somebody must have come to her for help.
And she must have given them her chain.
Alright, sir.
Should I call the ACP and tell him the case is solved?
No sir, I’ll tell him myself. -Are you sure? -Mm.
Constable? Let’s go?
“I know ACP” it seems.
Everybody’s complaints will be treated the same way!
If you were mad at her husband, you could have snatched his chain.
Why did you snatch mine? -Hey!
There was no personal intention!
Don’t be mad. Look. An ice cream truck!
You’ll have ice cream? -No.
Eyy! Ice-cream!
It’s not available.
[dog barks]
[thuds]
[dog squeals]
Make way!
Ey, Vettri!
Sir, don’t! It's burning tar. Please don't.
Don't go near it, sir.
