The reason why we are here today is...
...this man, Kabali
He influenced the society to oppose the Govt
He was also accused of instigating a ruthless massacre...
...in a palm oil estate during a Hindu temple festival
For this offense...
...he was sentenced to 25 years of imprisonment
And he is being released this Wednesday
Kabali's family was killed in the same massacre
By the leader of the gang 43, Tony Lee
'Tony Lee has invested...'
'...in many industries'
'Such as hotels'
'Import and export'
'Prostitution'
'Criminal activities'
'And drug trafficking'
'Veerasekaran is a pillar of strength to Tony Lee'
'Many places are under his control including Petaling street'
'With these 2 men working for him...'
'...Veerasekaran's criminal activities in Malaysia spread like the plague'
'One of them is Loga'
'He is the one who controls drug trafficking for gang 43'
'Loga fixes the market price for drugs in Malaysia'
'Another is Cheeni'
'He is involved in gangsterism'
'Loan shark activities, leasing of parking space illegally'
'Recruiting school students to join gang 43'
'A few years ago the activities of these gangs...'
'...spread like wild fire beyond the control of the Govt'
'To have an upper hand, the Govt and Police planned a special Operation'
'In a clash between the Police and the gangsters, Veerasekaran escaped'
'And Tony Lee died in a car crash'
This is the death certificate given by the Police endorsing Tony Lee's death
We don't have to talk about gang 43...understand?
Can we concentrate on more important issues now?
Do you really think Kabali will be quiet when he gets out of prison?
No...no...no Though he is in prison...
...he uses his influence to help Indian people
Specially the youngsters who drop out of schools
And join gangsterism
He does all these things with the help of his friend Amir
And an organization called Free Life Foundation
'His thoughts and vision have changed'
Furthermore the problem is for him
They have tried to kill him 13 times inside the prison
Let's release him
Why waste time talking about an old man?
Might as well release him
The Govt will take other measures
If needed
Hello...?
(song from 'Adutha Varisu')
Hello?
Hey! Ask him to stop
Hello?
Yes, huh?
Kabali is coming out tomorrow?
Confirmed?
Whaaat! Kabali, huh?
Okay, bro
Fantastic!
Is he coming out tomorrow?
Heavyweight, bro
Yes, bro?
He is out tomorrow
Let us close his chapter a.s.a.p
We can show him the power of 43!
Why, bro?
Okay, bro
Fine!
Bro...?
Just 2 months
I'll be out
I'll stick out my head for you
Definitely I'll be there for you
Just a matter of time
'Quiet!'
Here
Should have been holed up here till your last breath
You are really fortunate to get out so soon
Recently 40 thugs were killed in an encounter
More than 30 were Tamilians
Any Tamilian is being branded a villain now
Though I am a police officer...
...sometimes they look at me suspiciously too
This is an earnest request from me
Don't go back to your old ways again
I'm saying this only for your own good
(cool chuckle)
Cheers...!
You're being targeted by the 43 gan-
Ssshhhh!
'Anna...?'
Amir
Good to have you back
Allah's will!
(happy laughter)
Can I hug you just once?
By all means hug me
You are back, anna This is enough for me
Thank God
Ravi, your hair has turned grey!
- How are you? - You guys rock!
All your blessings, anna We are good, thanks to you
They are all our boys Totally trustworthy
Good...good
He teaches in our school
- Good afternoon, sir - He wanted to meet you
You feel good, anna?
What do you think?
Awesome, anna
- My car, right? - Yes, anna
Just like you, perfect condition Your favorite lovebird
Soooper!
'Everybody is waiting to see you Our area is in a festive mood'
'Even representatives from all the gangs'
Anna, look over there
Where Murugan's saloon used to be
'Chettiar gardens'
Look over here
This was our Tamilnesan sir's area
KL has changed so much, right?
Anna, look there
Peddling drugs in broad daylight
Even kids are into this
'Doomsday is nearing They belong to 43 gang'
Such is life now!
'Students in our Free Life school are junkies from gangs we have rehabilitated'
'Anna, look at that'
If interest for a loan is not repaid in time...
...that red paint is a warning
If he defaults payment even then you bet his chapter will be closed
Courtesy 43
Tony Lee Veerasekaran
Besides them ring leader Cheeni
You can find him in the pet shop now
Where is that pet shop?
'That's his hangout'
'The pet shop is a mask'
'All illegal activities inside including smuggling'
- Let him go - Take your hands off
Check what's happening...go
Imagine imprisoning birds that were flying free
No punishment is good enough
Know how tough it is to be caged?
A door with small bars
If opened, vast blue skies
They will die if freed, anna Other birds will peck them to death
A bird's nature is to fly Let it go, free it
Let the bird decide whether to fly or fall dead
Your compassion is worse than its death!
'All is 1 package'
'Orangutan special price, okay?'
Don't worry
'I will take care'
Ah! Look!
Lamb for the slaughter is here
- Would you like something to drink? - Can we get hot tea?
With just 1 teaspoon sugar
Don't want, anna?
We changed our mind, no need
Looks like you came straight to my den?
What can I do for you?
(lamb bleating)
Then you bloody well die!
(smug laughter)
A typical thug in Tamil films, with wart, twirling his moustache, 'lungi' clad
As soon as villain Nambiyar calls out, 'Hey! Kabali!'
...that thug will grovel and say 'At your service, master'
You thought I was 'that' Kabali!
I am KABALI, I say
Inform your boss, Kabali has returned ditto as he left 25 years ago
"Like fire blazing fiercely"
Whichever nook or corner Tony Lee and Veerasekaran are...
...they have to bow before me!
"Gather"
Lamb, huh?
"Garner"
"Comrade!"
"Is world for a handful or masses who toil?"
"Reply will be from the lips of Kabali!"
"Revolt and raise hell Oppressor's rule he'll quell"
"Is the world for one Or those who sweat in the sun?"
"Answer will be from the heart of Kabali!"
"With a mutiny he designs the overlord's death he signs"
"Like a towering inferno you blazed aglow"
"Even if eyes close dreams don't doze"
"As a flower appeasing"
"As a flute mesmerizing"
"Show the world who you are Don't be a lamb for the slaughter"
"Like a tree dwelling in a seed we carry stories to repeat"
"Tomorrow's dawn is ours to revel Revolt, break rules to rebel"
"The sky is yours to hold sway"
"A bird won't forget to fly half way"
"Up his sleeve, many a scheme Here comes Kabali, greet him"
"Like a spinning top nonstop beat the drum, sing a song"
"So many years in prison He's back now in action"
"In fear his foes shiver"
"Our blood boils to sever"
"Kabali"
"Super star's the name This is his game"
"Kabali the visionary!"
"King of our time In the concrete jungle"
"Watching over my pride"
"How does it matter to you which place I belong to?"
"He lent a hand as a Tamilian to his clan in this land"
"I am stalking my prey Won't let them get away"
"With the things that they do Bad moves that they make"
"We let others live We gladly gave in"
"Now I'll live life to the fullest Zip your lips and focus"
"Dressed to kill"
"Call it Kabali swag Come and get some"
"Like the K-town clan"
"It ain't about the size of the dog in the fight"
"But the spirit of the fight in the dog that's right"
"Root and flower Don't differ"
"Though grey of the clouds somber pure drops of rain shower"
"Will waves be kept at bay by a repressive force anyway?"
"Water current forever powerful"
"To swim past you is impossible"
"Can a snowflake small snuff a volcano tall?"
"The elite order's furor won't be heard here anymore"
"Tamil race and its identity will now become reality"
"Rich men's cry of power won't be heard in future"
"Tamil clan's address will now spell success"
"Within a seed's womb like a flower we bloom"
"History from the tomb"
"Tomorrow's dawn is ours to revel Surge, break rules to rebel"
"The sky is your ground to play"
"A bird won't forget to fly half way"
Dance with me
How dare you!
Don't!
Move out of the way
It was most unexpected
He had the gall to attack our Cheeni bro!
We must show him our power
I caught an Eel
Trying your tricks with me?
It isn't easy, you know
Only if the bait fish is alive it is do-able
It will be very protective towards its many young ones
Will try to survive till the very last second
Deli-cious!
To feast on such a tasty fish we should know its innate nature
Only then it can be caught And its flavor appreciated
Kabali is just like this fish
He is ready to be caught
But not right now
Tony Lee is out of the country
Just 1 sure shot
It should be a point of no return for him
Not miss the bull's eye
Let us wait
Enjoy the fish gravy
- What is this? - Mutton
- Enjoy - Serve some more
Wow!
Fathima Sooooper!
Finger-licking good!
Just like my wife's cooking
'Thanks a lot, anna'
Really? You think it's so-
Tell me the truth, anna I won't get angry
My wife's culinary skill is truly awesome, right?
Listen, my dear
If I praise your cooking your husband doesn't believe me
Look into it
How will taste buds talk when he has no tongue!
I don't have a tongue?! Isn't this proof enough?
(dismissive laughter)
I'm enjoying a yummy dinner after many years, let me eat in peace
Just kidding, anna
- Eat - Don't want, ma
'Enjoy yourself, anna'
What do you want?
Don't cry
'Will you ignore your poor pregnant wife?'
'- What do you want? - I want to hug you tight and sleep'
'Come, why are you so late?'
'Everybody is waiting for you'
'Come inside'
'Good morning, sir'
'Come'
'I have discussed everything No problem at all'
'You can go in'
'My legs are all swollen'
'I can't even walk'
'Go...get me some water'
'Enough...enough'
'Let us eat'
'Everybody is waiting, right?'
'What are you doing?'
'Come soon'
'Where did you disappear? We were starving'
'Come and eat with us'
'Come and eat, anna'
(nostalgic sigh)
Anna...?
Don't get stuck in the past now
We are all here for you
You can go now, Amir
Please go home, I want to be alone for a while
Okay
'Your wife has also been laid to rest here'
There were no family members So the policemen went ahead with-
Hey Banu! Good to see you
What brings you here? Thought of me suddenly?
Think you're in your 20s? I came to see uncle
Uncle, how are you? You forgot me?
I'm Banu, uncle
You educated me in Klang I stood first in the state
Oh! Is that you, Banu dear?
Are you married? Where does your husband work?
All done and dusted!
What to do?
Don't yell at me I was dealing in drugs
I was good at academics I dreamt a lot
Didn't know whom to trust
He said he loved me
He said caste was no barrier
He quoted Mani Ratnam's films
And finally gave me a baby!
During land redistribution, he said he was leaving for Tamil Nadu
I told him not to
That was the last I saw of him I haven't set eyes on him again
What to do?
I have only 1 son
Jeeva, come here
I've wasted my life
He is refusing to study
If I get him a job he beats up everyone
He saw you somewhere
He is so adamant he wants to work for you
I know you will make a man out of him
Take him, uncle
Why are you crying? He is in safe hands
Go home, I'll keep you posted
Anna, you had sent for him
Banu's son Jeeva is here
Anna
Stop the car
Jaya, call that boy
Bro, come here
Get into the car
Hold...hold
Wait
Move
Hahn...Fathima!
Fathima handles everything here
- Welcome, anna - Good...good...good
Move...move
70 Tamil students graduate from our school every year
They are 16 to 20 years old
All are school dropouts
These kids were all in the gang
Please come
Come this way, anna
When our students were with the gang, they used all this
So we have confiscated their stuff
Please come this way
We seized these accessories...
...reflecting the symbols and colors of their gangs
We should be disciplined, right?
I appreciate it
Let's go
This way
All of you, relax
Please come
Get that chair
Please sit
Tiger
Do you know who this is?
- We do - Mr Kabali
He donated this building for our school He helps us to run it too
How about a special 'Free Life' salute for him?
Free Life salute
- What's up? - Hey, wait
Why did you get up?
Won't you sit in one place?
I am sitting quiet, right?
He's like that Quite restless
He is hyperactive normally
- Ask him his name - Why?
Just ask him
What is your name?
Hey! Get up
Tell him your name
Otherwise you know the punishment?
Run around our ground a whole day through
- Tiger...! - Tiger...?
(indulgent chuckle)
Which gang are you from?
43...!
Do you know our anna?
- Heard he heads the 00 gang - Shut up!
What will you do after graduating?
Join the gang!
Would you like to join anna's gang?
My team is the best
Smart Alec he is!
Idiot! Sit down
Meena, why did you smile at him?
I didn't smile at all
I was only watching Tiger
Didn't she flash her teeth?
Of course she did She's lying now
No chance
I swear I didn't smile, akka
- Please believe me - Hey! Meena
They lie to get me into trouble
Sir, you resemble my dad so much
'Dad, you be fair Did I laugh?'
'I was just looking at Tiger-'
She must have had a puff or two
'Pa, tell them I didn't'
Tick them off before you walk away
'That girl's name is Meena'
'She lives in my place Sunway flats'
'In high school, she fell in love with a pusher next door'
'He was older than her'
'Cheated this young girl and made her pregnant'
'He ditched this girl half way through'
'She became a mother at a very young age'
'Claiming she wasn't fit to be a mother, 'Child care' authorities took her baby'
'She lost everything in life'
'It was Marthandam who brought her to our school'
'Too depressed she started taking drugs'
'She will do anything if you promise her drugs'
That girl called me 'dad', right?
Poor thing!
If my child had lived, I would have a daughter or son her age, huh?
We should be on our guard
Don't know what will happen and when!
Situation then and today aren't the same
43 gang is in a different level then
Even without Tony Lee, Veerasekaran is ruling the roost
How can we think of taking Cheeni-
Amazing fish!
Well cooked, chef
Serve him
Eat well, Marthandam
- Seafood doesn't agree with me - You'll be fine, enjoy
We are hounded by them
They wait to pounce on us for commission
They control all the areas
Ampang, Bukit Bintang, Kajang
How can we do any business then?
I'll handle it No worries
Hey! I told them we are gangsters too
But no one is respecting me
Like the comedian Vadivelu, go around proclaiming 'I am also a rowdy'
Looks like I must adopt only that kind of ploy!
If you ask me...
...people with talent can live here
If we want to live we should turn a blind eye
Money...power
If we need to bend a little...
...then why don't we?
But you know what?
Both 43 and our gang are one and the same to the policeman's palm that is greased
They won't spare us because we are in the right
Noticing our good deeds...
...people should respect us Not be petrified
Wherever we go in this country...
...the locals and Chinese aren't our enemies
Only Tamilians!!
If this is our plight how will people trust us?
Our men also get their hands dirty like gang 43
Why?
Aren't people here peddling drugs?
Those are all rumors
I follow the same taboo on hookers or drugs that anna did
When I am here, will I let anyone else in?
In this gang then are you the drug lord?
Mocking me?
Kabali'na, all I want is for you to believe me
That's enough
I'll never disobey you
Eat well, Marthandam
Enjoy your dinner
Why did you stop? Go on...eat
Is it enough? Please sit
Please sit down!
Take care of your health
I'll take care
No problem
You take care of yourself
(tickled pink-laughter)
I always do
I'm glad we met
I'll take leave
Times are changing
Problems stay the same
But unity...?
It's like Marthandam!
When I look at the kids in Free Life, my blood-
What are we doing?
What is our job?
Did we suffer to end up like this?
Look at those kids
I know
My days are numbered
Before they take the lead we have our hands full
We must put an end to the atrocities by Tony Lee and his gang in this country today
Especially the injustice to Tamilians
We must stop the power they are in cahoots with
For all their bias...
...the time has come to put a full stop
It is the beginning of his end
Cheers...!
Someone has snitched about us
- Definitely - So evident when he talks
True, why would Kabali anna talk like that?
- What happened? - Dad!
'Just a piece of land I want'
'Goddess Shakthi a mere piece of land'
Marthandam is peeing in his pants
Now we must break the power of gang 43
You want, huh?
If we tap on drugs, it is as good as hitting Tony Lee
Because your mother deals with drugs?
'Nowadays people mint money only in gambling and prostitution'
- Let's control it - How can you say this?
For a 50 paise cola we buy in the market for 2.5 ringgit
Manufacturing, advertising, paying tax
Different rates by wholesaler and retailer
Extra price for theatre and mall
Price of drugs depends on who the buyer is
1 ringgit can fetch 100 MYR
It changes hands through a big chain link
'Hit the head, entire network will collapse'
In 43, Loga is Tony Lee's drug lord
'Ship breaking yard Port Klang is his drug factory'
'He employs youngsters, mostly Tamilians'
'School dropouts'
'Entire Malaysia is supplied by him'
'He is the supplier to this school too'
'That boy Tiger...'
'...was a pusher in Loga's gang'
'Hey! Keep quiet'
Loga is next on my list
Schedule a meeting with him immediately
No
Let's go directly
Stop the car
Please come
Hey...boys...boys
2 minutes
I need to talk to you
So...Loga How is business?
What do you want? Come to the point
Don't waste my time
Okay...?
Oh! Is that right?
What is your source?
Why?
Do you want some?
Potent to the core
No one can give you my quality
Your gang members...
...won't deal with drugs, right?
You're the good-deeds gang
What?
Are you pulling a fast one?
You can't deal with drugs hereafter Put a full stop to everything
That's it
Impossible
Clear out now
Otherwise you'll be a corpse
Hey boys!
Ask this chap to clear out
He's simply playing the fool
Super...!
Oh! This is the 'point', huh?
This fellow is 'yours truly'
I look really young, right?
I don't have a copy of this
Let me take a snap
Let's get to the point
I was very young then
They needed a hand I went, that's all
I didn't do anything there
Leave this place now
Hey! Escort him to his car
Listen
I'll tell you something
The chap who killed your wife was that scumbag Velu!
Try to find him and finish him off
Otherwise let me know
I'll slice him to pieces
He took away my drug supply
You know how much cash he stole from me?
If your wife had survived he would've sold her for a good rate!
He's very partial to women
He won't let go of even the plain Janes
Then imagine...!
Cheers...!
(revving up the engine)
"Fire in all its fury Try confronting me"
"If you do we will char you"
"To thrash and trample"
"Even in your dreams is it possible?"
"If pushed around will you bow down?"
"To bullying will you buckle?"
"Will you heed any hurdle?"
"Dawn's new identity Our very own Kabali"
'One of the renowned industrialists in Malaysia Loga alias Loganathan...'
'...was killed yesterday in a police encounter'
'This has created a furor-'
They've locked the entire drug supply
'Can't do anything now'
Nowadays there's no business
Very bad condition
'KABALI'
'I don't think we can 'cook' now, la'
Unless we take him out
'Yes, our business has come to a standstill'
'We got no other choice'
Yogi is the right person
No one will suspect her She is adept at this
I'll ask her to come
Let's start with an invocation to God
Our men are shell shocked
'Police force has joined Kabali and is taking us for a ride'
Call her
(offering to Goddess Kali)
'Praise be to the one who dwells and rules the graveyard'
Hello, Yogi
Govt has a plan
We can't do anything now
Totally unexpected move from someone least suspicious is ideal
You are the right choice
Only you can pull it off
He will be with you
He'll get everything ready for you
Hey!
My face is right here!
Okay
Consider it done
Anna, guess what?
Veerasekaran has moved his pawn with offerings to Kali yesterday
'If your wife had survived he would've sold her for a good rate!'
Something has been nagging me
In case Kumudha...
...is alive
...where will she be?
How will she be?
In my head in circles random thoughts run
I must meet Velu
'Got this photo from police records'
'Watch out!'
In Batu caves...
...there's a Tamil restaurant
Called Mama Meru
If you go there you can catch him
"This world is like a river flowing"
"Time is like the boat floating"
"Once colorful memories now cherished souvenirs"
(recollections overlapping)
"When I am caressed by the wind wonder what hue is painted in my mind"
- Where is Velu? - He's inside
- Velu...? - What can I do for you?
He isn't the one we are looking for
Let's go
Are you brainless or what?
They both had too many problems
He asked for a share Veerasekaran tried to kill him
He kidnaps women
And uploads their videos online
And forces them to become hookers
If Velu catches you, that's it
"My heartbeat's melody"
"She was my harmony"
"My beautiful Mrs"
"Wonder now where she is"
Tiger, go
Speak up
I don't know where he is
'But the chap in Ampang will know'
'He is the watchman there'
'He would know Velu's whereabouts'
'Come...park here'
Kabali anna
Please forgive me
I've reformed
Turned over a new leaf
Please let go of me Don't hurt me
Please don't kill me
Where is Velu?
I really have no clue
I came here long ago
They said your wife was dead
'And took her to the mortuary'
'The worker over there rushed out'
'And shouted saying she was still alive'
'Velu and Loga went in'
'Don't know what happened after that'
Amir, stop the car
"In each and every direction"
"I saw your reflection"
"In dreams and memories of mine"
"She floats; in my heart and mind"
"Won't she now appear for real here?"
'Sit down'
'Don't you know where I am?'
'How long should I wait?'
'You are really troubling a pregnant woman way too much'
'Why is your collar so dirty?'
'What will people think if they see it?'
Nab him, don't let him go
Start the car Let's not do anything now
Fast Move!
Hey! Let go Who the hell are you?
Take it off
Kumara...? What is this?
He is Tamilmaran's son
Kumaran
Why did you do this?
Can't you hear me?
Didn't you kill my father?
My family was ruined because of you
- Hey Kumara - I'll kill you for sure
Is he Tamilmaran's son?
Actually...he wanted a job
If you got to know-
You might feel bad if I told you
He's a good fellow but why-
Sorry, anna
But I wasn't aware he would want to kill you
(skeptical chuckle)
Tamilmaran's son has really grown up
He wanted to kill me Right before my eyes-
I wonder what else is in store to wrench my heart?
Whatever problems we dream about we come out of it in a second
If my life had been the same how good it would have been!
'Jeeva has gone to fetch him'
Hey Amir
Are you ready? Shall we go?
Graduation function
One batch is completing the course today
They are leaving
They want to talk to you before they leave
How will I be of any help?
Come and ask them yourself
Please come, pa
Let's go, pa
Okay
Sit over here
Free Life salute
Greetings to everyone here
Mr Kabali will be sharing his life's experience with us
First generation graduate
How did he become like this?
What lessons did life teach him?
And what did he lose?
He will share a slice of his life
You can ask him any question you want
Is that okay, pa?
But before that...er...uh-
An alumnus of our school Sivanesan anna who is working now
- ...will share his experience - Go and talk
He graduated last year
Hello, anna
A warm hello to all of you I am Sivanesan
I am also like you A school dropout
I handled drugs and guns even as a teenager
My life changed after I came here
Fathima akka, Amir anna Kumaran sir took good care of me
I work in a pet shop I am very happy
You study well too And be happy like me
Thank you for everything
See you
Anyone can ask any question to dad
Go ahead
Why are you wearing coolers and a coat all the time?
It's summer now, sir
(amused laughter)
What kind of question is this, sit down!
Sir, which gang do you belong to?
You were a big wig it seems
Hey! Is this very important now?
Let them ask whatever they want I have no problem at all
Are you handy with a gun?
Sir, he has handled a gun
Yes, it was really cool
A chap in gang 0 gave me
Like a hero I went bang bang bang
It was simply smashing, sir
You're just a kiddo
And you fired a gun
Sir, which part of India are you from?
We are originally from Dindivanam
We worked for many years as slaves to landlords here
After that...
...after my father's time, I studied and worked in estates owned by the British
Started slaving for this countr-
(self conscious laughter)
So well educated
Why did you become a gangster?
Hit him Don't spare him
Do you think you are equal to them, the Chinese, Kabali?
Of course
We are not equal to the Chinese
Because my forefathers fell prey to snake bites, wild beasts, land slides
...this land is fertile
We aren't inferior to the Chinese
We work 10 times harder
We are not demanding more wages than them
All we want is equal wages
Even if you pay us 1 ringgit less not one of us will step into your land
We are not slaves We are employees
You are an employer!
You should treat everybody equally
That is your duty
Try to understand it
Otherwise you will face the consequences
I am not threatening you I am warning you!
If you think I'm threatening I will...yes!
(loud cheering)
'That was when Mr Tamilnesan heard about it and sent for me'
'Amir and I went to meet him'
'As soon as he saw me, he shook hands and hugged me'
'He praised me sky high to his friends'
You must come, Kabali
You should come
You too
Everyone should support each other
Was he so fearless, sir?
Fear...huh?!
Tamilnesan sir used to say
My beloved people!
What is Dharma?
Describe justice to me
What we need is Dharma That is justice
We have to ask what is rightfully ours
It is our duty Our birthright
As soon as palm oil proved more profitable than rubber...
...in 1 second A single second
...my people's hard work was squeezed, their blood, sweat and tears extracted
They have been trashed on the streets as waste
What are we asking for our people who are helpless and homeless?
Supposing someone slaps you real hard
You feel like asking why Then why bottle it?
Cry, lament aloud, scream in the middle of the road
Let the neighbors hear
But he will pretend he didn't
Shout till your throat is hoarse
Or die if need be
At one point he has to hear and react to our cries
This protest is not for one man
Not for 1 family
It is a voice of dissent for people belonging to an entire race
Kabali, you achieved the impossible singlehanded in that small estate?
Does your world stop with that?
Come with me to Kuala Lumpur town
There are 10,000 heart broken people
Support the oppressed Lend a hand, revolt
I want Kabali
(thrilled laughter)
Aiyo! Baby
Sorry...sorry
Guess what? I met my leader Tamilnesan sir today
Wowwww!
'I was talking to my wife the whole night about my idol'
Are you very fond of your wife?
Yes
This much!
Love, huh?
You'll be on dot about all this!
(bashful chuckle)
Let me tell you
Can I, anna?
Love marriage
Not the ordinary love you and I go through
Soooooper love!
(sheepish laughter)
Made for each other
Her family did not agree
Indians wherever they go, whatever they take or not...
...they will latch on to caste, religion, status!
That's the problem
But our sister-in-law dumped everything and came with full faith in anna
Then what? I got them married
(appreciative laughter)
Yes, only this VIP presided over our wedding
She left all her belongings and bond behind
How does she look? Is she beautiful?
What is her name?
Her name is Kumudhavalli
Isn't it a beautiful name?
Just like her name she is really beautiful
'When she laughs, her whole face lights up'
Poetry, bro
He has also written a beautiful poem, bro
- Poetry? - About laughter
Get up and recite
'I drown in your laughter'
'When I gasp for breath I will ask for more'
'Save some for me for an encore'
Superb!
This applies to Kumudhavalli also
That's it, I fell for that tinkle of laughter
So beautiful, huh? Then how did she fall for you?
Mocking me, huh?
Power of my dark complexion She fell for me at once
She fell for you!
You expect us to believe this?
Sarcasm?!
This is what everyone asked
I asked her too
'This was what she said'
I looked into your eyes for just 2 minutes
I fell for you, head to toe
I want to be floating in that spell bound feeling
Even after I breathe my last
I want your dark skin tone smeared all over my body
I love you that much!
(relishing laughter)
Today, if I realize my worth so powerfully...
...she is the reason
She will be forever motivating me
Even in the smallest issue
He hit you, right? You should retaliate
Don't get confused
Don't think or plan when you are angry
Breathe!
Go
Even those who are up to no good are so goddamn gutsy
You are doing a good deed Go for it bravely
Understand?
'She is my spine'
I was so depressed after Mr Tamilnesan was killed
She revived me
'What do you mean, sir?'
'Who killed such a big shot?'
Only a Tamilian
Who else?!
Do you know this story of the crab?
It is a fable all of us know in Malaysia
If you stuff crabs into a pot...
...they will try to come out
The crab at the back struggling to come out...
...will pull down the crab in front
It will send that crab back into the pot
Taking turns pulling and pushing...
...no crab will come out it seems
Same story applies to our people
Dog in the manger Won't let us progress
The crab in this fable is Veerasekaran
'Sir was very strict'
'Foremost condition in the gang is not to indulge in flesh trade'
'No drugs or alcohol at all'
'That was when drugs entered the nation'
'The Chinese wanted to get rich in this way'
'Tamilnesan sir opposed it strongly'
Even if we lose everything we have...
...we shouldn't let drugs gain a foothold into our gang
Okay
Gawd! Come here
Sir...sir!
SIR!
Aiyah!
'Some wretched fellow has killed him'
What the-!
The Chinese killed him using the Tamilian whose cause he was fighting!
For mere money!
I decided only then
After Tamilnesan
Now Veera will take over
- They are demolishing our temple - Be calm
- We're going to demolish this temple - You have permission?
You don't create any problem here
Get lost!
To demolish that temple you have to finish me off first
Tamilnesan sir is alive in you!
Don't put me on a pedestal
I'll handle it You leave now
"Herald of the braves Savior of the slaves"
"Bravest of the braves Shielder of the slaves"
"This new-age warrior's power The world is clueless altogether"
Some stranger from nowhere They hail him as the next Tamilnesan
It should be either you or me
"When the good hearted wept When slaves claimed respect"
"You elevated them from neglect"
You visit places You meet people
Your dress speaks for you
(carefree laughter)
Who decides a style?
They should be the only ones to wear a suit
We will change it
"Kabali coming"
"Can you feel the ground shake Like an earthquake"
"Nowhere to run"
"It's too late Real gangstaz"
"From the city to the estate Real gangstaz"
"Separate good from the great"
"Keeping it straight OG"
"Since the 80's untouchable"
"A.K.A Kabali"
"Fighting for what's right Standing up for the weak"
"Looking fly kicking ass In a suit and hockey stick"
"Dum dum dum...enmity explosion"
"Lion in the arena, den is forsaken"
"Guardian angel with you Walking all the way through"
"From pain flutters duly Liberty's flag carefree"
"Your force makes foes flee"
"Land may alter Will your words ever falter?"
"Can mountain peaks tall tower over you at all?"
"Our leader defender Will justice sleep hereafter?"
"Galahad, the gallant knight Our ruler with wisdom and might"
"Lend me your ears I'll slice 'em all off"
"With the same pair of scissors My mama uses to cut cloth"
"Every man gotta right to decide his destiny"
"I'd rather die standing up than living life on my knees"
"Beat the war drums hard Don't let the music stop!"
"Magizhchi muthalvaz Coz this jam rocks!"
"Beat the war drums hard Don't let the music stop!"
"Magizhchi muthalvaz Coz this jam rocks!"
"Lute of rights he played He honed his sword-"
You substituted oil palm for rubber for your gain, satisfaction and power
"His true self to the world he displayed"
"O' valiant one Our hearts he won"
We will revolt What's wrong?
"Breaking barriers aside Holding heads high in pride"
"The rearguard as warlord qualified"
"Courageous warrior Our eternal ruler"
Now you know why
This dressing style
Otherwise in this heat why would I be dressed like this?
This is just cloth, I agree
For being dressed like this
For people hailing me as the next Tamilnesan
For Tony Lee and Veerasekaran using my friend Tamilmaran...
...to destroy my family and me-
'Ang Lee'
'Most respected don'
'A very good man amongst the Chinese'
'He hosted a dinner for all the gangs'
'We attended the feast too'
'Tony Lee and his gang were also present'
I am so happy
All of you gathered here tonight
This meeting is purely to strengthen our friendship
Let us forget all the problems and stay connected always
We should be proud that at this very young age...
...Kabali has been chosen to be the people's leader
He will fulfill Tamilnesan's place in everybody's heart
Kabali...bottoms up!
In all fairness...
...you should have got the laurels he is receiving now
You should have succeeded Tamilnesan
Isn't that usual gang culture?
You'll get angry if I say this
Tony Lee is taking over from Wang Lee
Even I wanted to take Tamilnesan's place
Did they let me?
You are a good man
You give up everything
Drink...enjoy
Hello, partner
Excuse me
You spend all your money on your clothes, huh?
Of course, Mara
If we don't dress well, who will?
You don't listen to me when I tell you to
This is also a symbol of protest
If Gandhi went shirtless and Ambedkar wore a coat...
...they had their own agenda
Politics!
I'll tell you later
Go slow on your drinks
Control yourself
Amir, come
But you really look super smart!
Hello, gentlemen
Escort him
Come inside We can drink there
Our bro is here
Bro, we want to meet Kabali anna
Why?
We can tell only him
First tell me Only then you can meet him
We are coming from Penang estate
We can tell only him about our problem
Kabali anna is here Let's meet him
Add some ice cubes
Do it
Hey! Tamilmaran
Ice cube, huh?
I am Tamilnesan's son
Listen to me
You're picking a bottle
Are you planning to kill him?
Please disperse
Sorry
Will everyone ask only for you, huh?
Don't forget your humble beginnings
You shouldn't have been allowed into my house
Tamilnesan is my father
I should take his place How dare you usurp it?
Listen! Hereafter what I say goes
You must address your problems to me
You humiliated me in front of everyone
- Nothing...nothing - I am disassociating myself from you
Okay
Tamilmaran anna Listen to me, wait
- Listen to me, wait - Move aside
Look who is here
Hey! What a surprise Come, my friend
I was thinking about you
Sorry, anna
He drank too much and spoke out of turn
Don't hold it against him He didn't sleep last night
I thought he may feel better if he meets you
Good thinking Sit down
'Eat, bro'
Be on your guard, friend
Enemies have increased
Eat...please eat
All said and done, I shouldn't have behaved like that
In front of so many people...
...I fought, brought the roof down
I was so upset
Stop obsessing about it
I'm not being myself at all
That's why-
If I visit Maduraiveeran temple things will get ironed out it seems
Plan to go with my family You come along
I'll join you You come too, dear
'Praise be to Goddess Shakthi'
"Bravest warrior on earth you are"
"You're a sparkling ruby of Madurai city"
"Kohinoor, jewel in the crown Aiyanar who guards the town"
"You bless us with your grace"
Stop the music
Hold the sword
Hold it
Kabali...!
You will rule this country, okay?
You'll govern this nation
Till your wife is with you...
...no one can harm you in anyway
You don't need companions or friends
You will lead a good life
(uproar)
Oh my dear!
Watch out!
Hey Kumara!
Come away from here
Hey! Kabali...!
Drop the knife
Bloody tramp of a mongrel!
Look at your dress?
You won't take off your coat even in a temple festival?
Were you born with that coat?
Take off your damn coat
Don't
You and your damn coolers!
- Remove his coat - Don't let them
Don't let them take it off
Kumudhaaaa!
My dearest...!
I'm the next Tamilnesan!
Die now
Police...police
Let’s go
Shameless! You too?
Police arrested our anna
They claimed he had influenced the Tamils against the state
Because he questioned the demolition of the temple and demanded land
Assembled the Tamilians and revolted
Their anger mounted due to all these reasons
They ensured he would be put away forever
They framed a case and sentenced him
- Where are you going? - I'll wait outside
He is well educated
To serve the people he joined the gang
But...
...his situation today
Instead of studying at this age...
...resorting to guns and drugs
At least when you graduate take the right decision
Each bird...
...carries a seed
In every seed there is a forest
We believe that quality is embedded in you too
You share the same belief please
All the best!
Cheers...!
Sir, I'll come with you
Let us shoot them all down
Accept me in your gang
I'll do it for you, sir
No one should be spared
Wear your coat even when you sleep! I'll handle them, huh?
How are you?
- Fine? - I'm okay
I never even dreamt he would think this way
- Please forgive him - It's okay
Of course he's bound to be angry
Even if he was in the wrong, he was your friend
How the hell could you-
Jeeva! Respect
How could you kill him?
Even my mother defends you
But how can I-
Will you keep quiet?
Right before my eyes...
...you killed my father!
I saw him
Collapsing to the ground
Son, I'm sorry
I'll assume this to be an apology to your father
'Why did you behave like this?'
Daaaaad....!
Why did you let go of your Kumudha?
What's wrong with you?
- Amir! - Let go of me
- Get lost! - Hey Jeeva
You call yourself a rowdy
But you let a pregnant woman die
Poor woman! She was pregnant
Why didn't you save her?
Why...?
Get lost...lunatic!
Useless!
Let go of me
Move...go...go
'But you let a pregnant woman die'
'Poor woman! She was pregnant'
I know where Velu is
In Thailand I'll show you
'Velu brainwashed my father'
'He instigated my father to shoot you'
'He is the cause of all problems'
'We shouldn't spare him'
Amir...?
Tell me, anna
I want to adopt Meena
Amazing, anna
We will do it in a grand way
That girl is also an orphan
It will be good for both of you
When I see that girl, I have some kind of unexplained affinity
Maybe...
...that girl was my-
(embarrassed chuckle)
I have weird thoughts swirling in my head!
Amir'na, go past that store
That way
Hi handsome
He'll be up there
Hey! Where are you going?
He is here
You are the reason for my father's death
'I will kill you'
It wasn't my fault
I am now-
I am now reaping for my sins, Kabali
What did you do to my Kumudha?
I didn't...I didn't do anything
I swear I don't know what happened to your wife
Your daughter is alive
What did you say?
Hey Velu...hey...!
Look at that!
Hey Cheeni
This isn't good for you
Hey! Just shut up!
Will you die now?
Appaaaaaa!
Dad...watch out
Let's get out of here, pa
Dad, come with me
Move...move
- Let's go - Jeeva, take care
Come inside
Start the car
Pa...?
Please call me again
Pa...?
(contented laughter)
Only now...
...I know why I am alive
Stop the car
Why, pa?
Why is Meena standing here?
- Who is that girl? - She is from Free Life
(whimpering)
- Why are you here? - Don't come, pa
- Go away - Why are you crying?
Appa
Pa...!
Appa!!
Anna...!
Don't let them go scot free
Come fast
Welcome Tony, welcome
Good to see you!
'Kabali who was released after 25 years from Malacca prison last month...'
- '...was shot by unknown assassins' - Is he back? Really?
'Popular with both Malaysian and Tamils Kabali, the leader of 00 gang...'
'...when he was returning from Thailand, was shot on Persiaran KLCC road'
Marthandam told me to do this
Otherwise he threatened to kill my child
He made me wait enroute when Kabali'pa was going home
- And shot him - Stop crying
Bro, look at him
His parents and sister
I can't...bear it
Bro, somehow take revenge
Only I could do it
5 bullets pierced him
He didn't die that easily
He is certainly the God of death!
I already asked the police
They confirm that he's dead
No body found!
Corpse not found
Even after so many days, no news in the papers
I am really bugged
Only after I cremate his body I will rest in peace!
This reporter has to be killed
'You know how media is!'
Calm down
It is us now
43
We run this
Nobody can f*** with us!
Nobody
(phone ringing)
Why is Yogi calling now?
'Welcome back Mr Tony Lee'
(renewed laughter)
I'm really happy
Kabali won't die that easily!
(sarcastic laughter)
Horrrrible fellow, this Kabali!
My daughter is with me today
We will meet soon
"Like fire blazing fiercely"
'Definitely'
Cheers...!
"Try opposing me!"
"Think it is so easy?"
'I am sure Meena would have pointed fingers at me'
'If he returns, I am as good as dead'
'Please, I came trusting you'
Do something to save me
Something
Tell me he's dead
That's enough
Finish him off when he's still hiding
Don't know what I'll do
They won't spare me
I'm done for
I'm done-
Aiyo!
I'll kill him
Pa, why are you looking at me in dazed wonder?
Pa, please tell me
Weren't you aware of all this earlier?
Yes, pa
Not too long ago
Only recently
When I was assigned the contract to k-kill you...
'...that's when Velu'pa told me'
'You are my biological father'
They assigned me to kill my own dad!
I also took the gun
And stalked you
Just to protect you!
'I desperately tried to talk to you'
'But-'
Yogi has admitted Velu in this hospital
Why did you do this?
In the police van dead bodies were brought to the hospital
'We had gone there to claim our gangster Murugan's body'
'At that time I saw Kabali's wife's lifeless body'
'Few minutes after she was taken to the mortuary, a worker yelled out'
Bro, that girl is alive
Let's go check...quick
Take a look
'Kabali's wife was fighting for her life'
Hey! Come...come
'I went and brought a Malay midwife'
'She delivered her baby'
'A beautiful girl baby was born'
'I didn't have anyone in my life'
'Thinking I could adopt her as my own'
'I brought up Kabali's daughter as my own'
'Because of the problems I had with Loga...'
'...I came and settled in Thailand'
'Only after she arrived...'
'...my life changed for the better'
'But that happiness was short lived too'
'Some drug pusher stabbed me'
'From then on my whole world revolved around my daughter'
'She hunted down people responsible for my plight'
'And shot them all dead'
'And then she became a mercenary to keep the money flowing in'
'Until today...'
'...my daughter Yogi even after reuniting with Kabali'
'...takes care of me like her own father'
Where is Kabali's wife?
Right there...
...she passed away
She died
My mother isn't dead, pa
She is alive
Velu'pa told me about Hassima grandma who took care of her delivery
'When I was following you...'
'...I was also looking for Hassima grandma who knew my mother'
'I spoke to the hospital staff who took care of her'
'And finally traced Hassima grandma'
'She told me about the doctor who treated mother'
Then admitted her for a few months in a mental health institution
Valli...we knew nothing about her
Who, what or why?
'She got her memory back gradually due to her head injury'
'All of a sudden, she'll start crying thinking of her husband and child'
'I want to see my baby'
'After she got a little better...'
'...I took her to my house'
'She'll keep working'
'And suddenly freeze'
'Tears will well up and she will cry'
'Hoping her husband will come for her'
'She will wait at the porch'
'Knowing she is expecting the impossible...'
'...I would feel very sorry for her'
Then my cousin was also expecting a baby
She needed a companion
In Chennai
I sent her to Tamil Nadu
At least a change of place...
...would make her feel better
Pa...?
Anna
Are you okay?
Why are you crying, pa?
Appa...?
Dad
Get ready, dear Right now
Let's fetch your mother right away
Amir, did you hear that?
My Kumudha is still waiting for me
But I thought she was dead
God has willed it so
- Hey Jeeva - Anna?
- I'll bring back my wife - Okay, anna
Bring her right now
Tell Tony Lee and Veerasekaran in the loudest voice possible
'You can't do anything to us'
Mallika, time has come for our pain to be relieved
Fortune favors us now
Get ready now Why are you dillydallying?
How will we go now?
By flight of course
Flight?
- Don't you know to fly? - No, I don't
(playful laughter)
What is this, dear?
Kabali's daughter doesn't know to fly!
Hey! Get ready
My daughter and I are leaving for Tamil Nadu to see my wife
Get the passport and tickets ready
Come on
Have a safe journey
Love, huh?
Take care
Have a safe flight
My grandfather left India long ago
In that lineage, I am the only one returning
Just me
Things are going as per plan
Shouldn't miss
We'll get them, okay?
- Bro...? - Is this you?
- Yogi - I'll talk to you later
Did Amir send you?
That's why I'm holding this
So...are you yogi?
Come here
My name is Jai
You know Amir, right?
He spoke to my boss and sent us here
My boss is Anbu'na
He had some work So he couldn't come

Adjacent room is ours Shall I take leave?
'Tell me, bro'
'Room 806'
'Father and daughter just the 2 of them'
'Consider it done'
'Okay, bro'
Kabali
Can a single man...
...eliminate the whole empire?
No
Because I'm f***ing here
We will take control of everything
Anyone who disagrees...?
Well, they will disappear
And we will march ahead!
Enjoy your soup
Taste our delicious soup
Kabali is around
Is it possible?
He can't even sneak in
You guys must do that first
Then we can talk about doing business in peace
Sorry, Tony I need to go
Let us leave
He seems a good chap to me
Why jump to conclusions looking at his face?
But why are you so jumpy? Very unusual of you
First don't show them you are scared
We will be easy prey if they know about our fear
What, dad?
How could you think I'll be scared?
Fear...?
Me, Yogi...scared?
Selling salt to the sea, huh?
(scornful laughter)
(door bell ringing)
(door bell, continues to ring)
Wait, dear I'll come
Pa, don't know who it is
Four-
- There are 4 men - Wait...wait

Amir has briefed me
No problem at all

Only thing is, your hand got stuck on the bell
- Turned out to be a joke - Sorry, sir
Only because you didn't open
Let's check that address, sir
I listened to your story
If I was piss drunk I would have certainly cried
Shall we have a drink, sir?
It can be served downstairs
- All under our control - I don't drink
Such a big shot and you don't drink?
You are pulling a fast one, sir
In Malaysia 'sarakku' means hooker!

Whiskey Brandy

"Million times, everyday at death's door I stood"
"Lonely, lost in dismay In hope I resurrected"
Everyone told me you were dea-
True, I was dead
Until you came and saw me
"The river of illusion blessed meanders down my chest"
"Though ageing gracefully love still blooms graciously"
"The magical river at my behest weaves down my chest"
"Though ageing years grey love blossoms as a bouquet"
Let's celebrate them
Tonight
Champagne!
'Would we have lived in a house like this for 2 years?'
2 years
2 months and 18 days
All these 25 years...
...I survived thinking only of our time together
"Adrift in the sea like a fish I lost the love I cherished"
"Though you are right here I chose solitude, my dear"
Why do you raise your tone? Speak calmly
"My dear night that delivers dawn! My life only you can adorn"
"Your pain can I share with my tender loving care?"
"The river of illusion blessed meanders down my chest"
"Though ageing grey love blooms as a bouquet"
"You and I are now a strong 'we' Equal to an elephantry"
"Life has come a full circle With its magic and miracle"
Kill Kabali and his family
- Shall we go? - Yes, okay
Leave the room
Go out and wait
(doting laughter)

- Hello, sir - Hi Durai
Meet my wife
We'll go through the waiting lounge, sir
Anna...!
What is happening here?
Where is Amir?
Where is Jeeva?
- Why were their phones unreachable? - Don't get tense
It's a different situation now
Let's not react in haste
What has happened?
Tell me for heaven's sake
Kabali sir, they have attacked our school
Amir anna has been hospitalized, sir
We shouldn't spare them
'Don't act in haste now, sir Listen to m-'
Tiger...! Do your work
- Tell me, Kumaran - Amir'na, where are you?
'At the bakery'
Tony's men are planning to demolish our school
- Whaaaat? - Come here immediately
- Keep an eye here - What happened...hey?
Hey Jeeva
'I am trapped by Tony's men'
What are you saying?
'I've escaped, I'll call you'
Jeeva-
I'm okay
You'll be fine
Everything will be fine
- Kumudha - Sister-in-law?
You'll be fine Don't worry
Jeeva was-
Dad...!!
Jeeva, pa
You...
...come over to my side
All you got to do is fix the place
If you do this...
...whatever you want
Cheeni isn't here either
You take full control of KL
Entire Kuala Lumpur?
Sounds awesome just hearing you say so
We can do it
You're super, Jeeva
Simply super!
Go
Meet Tony, he's in the car
Tony Lee...?
- Tony Lee - Jeeva, right?
Good to see you
Go...!
Go...go...get him
- Amir anna - Hey! Jeeva
'I am trapped by Tony's men I've escaped, I'll call you'
I'll call you back
- Tell me, ma - Where are you?
Maaa!
Mother?
Ma...?
Did you hit me?
No, I didn't, bro
Who is it? Tell me
'I will kill you'
'Slice you into two'
'Butcher you'
Appa...!
Your father should have become a big shot you know
Even before Kabali's entry, your father and I were thick friends
We were the right hand of your grandfather Tamilnesan
When we assumed your father would succeed...
...with effortless ease, Kabali pushed your father down and usurped his place
Your father Tamilmaran has struggled
He has worked hard
When a gang leader dies, his son is the natural heir
This is gang culture And this is what your father asked
Why did he kill your father?
He was responsible for his wife's death?
But Kabali's wife now-
His daughter-
But you...your father?
What is your situation?
Today you are with him
What a wonderful way to repay your father!
Traitor
It's about time
To put everything to an end
And you can make that happen
If you want to be Tamilnesan...
...do what I say
Tonight is Ang Lee's 100th birthday
Everyone will assemble
You've also been invited
If we go, we can find them under one roof
We can easily close their chapter
Can't get a chance like this later
Shut up! His men are everywhere
Not now, postpone this for a few days
What's wrong with you?
Jeeva, Amir anna
Next...?
They won't stop
This is our only chance
If we miss this-
- Yogi...? - Yes, pa
Ask your mother to get ready
We are attending this party
Kabali is coming tonight
Be ready
This is the right time
We have taken the decision
Everyone can leave
We are all set, come
We'll go?
- Congratulations - Thanks
Thank you
Thank you...thank you
Very glad
I extend a warm welcome to this gathering
Ang Lee is a mentor to me and my family
Today is his 100th birthday
He has led a healthy life so far
We feel proud and happy to celebrate his 100th birthday
Let's all take our glasses
Cheers to Ang Lee's 100th birthday
Bottom's up
Lend me a hand
"Kabali coming"
"Can you feel the ground shake Like an earthquake"
"Nowhere to run"
"It's too late Real gangstaz"
"From the city to the estate Real gangstaz"
"Separate good from the great"
"Keeping it straight OG"
"Since the 80's untouchable"
"A.K.A Kabali"
"Fighting for what's right Standing up for the weak"
"Looking fly kicking ass In a suit and hockey stick"
Happy birthday, master
Please sit down
This is my wife My daughter
- You're welcome - Happy birthday!
Wow! Shou-Lao God of longevity
Humble gift
Thank you
I will be there, thank you
Let's take a selfie
Say 'Cheese'
Tony Lee
Veerasekaran
How are you doing?
Ages since we met, huh?
(self assured laughter)
Looks like you're leading a lavish lifestyle!
No worries
Just wanted to touch base
Kumudha, I guess you recognize them?
How can she forget?
I will never forget
This is me
Kabali's wife
She's my daughter
Yogi
Take a good look
Let's go, dear
At least, for 1 day
Spend time with your family
Without a care in the world...
...sleep peacefully
What's that?
Ma...?
'Magizhchi!'
Yeah...!
Cheers...!
Only tonight I will sleep peacefully
But you?
(arrogant laughter)
Cheers...!
'Hello, Tony'
'Kabali is attacking us, la!'
'They barged into our factory and everything has been ruined'
'We are finished'
Get down...get down
Fast
Move
Drop your weapons
Get back
Check the containers
'The Police have entered our container yard'
'They have seized all our stock'
'House is on fire'
'We don't know what's going on'
'Shares are going down'
'I mean this is a disaster'
Veera-
(gunshot)
(screams of panic)
'Cheers...!'
Stop him
Are you the ruling family?
Stop it!
Yearning to come into power?
You stop that-
Did you own 1 cent of land in this country?
'What's happening?'
You want to rule the whole of Malaysia?
You didn't get a morsel of rice to eat when you came to Tamilnesan
Why didn't you just eat and leave?
If you dress like him...
...can you become Tamilnesan?
It has to be in your genes, man
Who and what you are!
Stop...!
I knocked off Tamilnesan who was such a big wig
Don't be so rude
Stop...!
As long as I am alive you cannot fulfill your dreams
I am not from a ruling family
But I am born to rule!
KABALI, I say
Master, are you okay?
Go...go...go
Calm down, Tony
Tony, calm down please
I am sorry
How the hell did he pull this, huh?
No
Kabali and his men must die tonight
Only 1 man can walk out from here breathing
This has to happen
Hey! Kabali has to die
Search for Kumaran
Quick!
Kabali's daughter In our hands now!
Come to the store in the east wing
Let us kill Kabali in our den
He has to answer for my father's death
'Kabali's daughter In our hands now!'
'Come to the store in the east wing'
Wait...wait
Something is wrong
Doesn't feel right
He shouldn't decide the place
Ask him to come to us
Send for him
Good!
Tony, they are here
Call her father now He will show up
Tony Lee and Veerasekaran spoke to me They wanted me to betray you
If I bring you to their den, they will make me the next Tamilnesan then
They tried to provoke me like they did to my father
Shouldn't let them win
I am Tamilnesan's grandson
I'll come forward and give up even my life for Kabali sir
Hey Kabali!
You thought you could get away with this
Come
I was waiting for you
Trying to play your games with me!
You've come in at the right moment
Yes...Tony
You bet I've come at the right moment
I've also been waiting for this moment for a very long time
Looking good
The suit...
...fits perfectly for you
(confident laughter)
Thank you
Cheers!
That is the speciality of this material
No caste attached to it whether a millionaire or a poor man wears it
But man's mind I must say....bah!
If at all I have another birth...
...I must never be born a human
Yes, for sure
Men like you should not be born as a human being again!
You are not qualified
After all...
...you are a Tamil Kling, right?
I have an idea
You should be a dog
My dog
(mimicking a dog's bark)
(brazen laughter)
Listen, man
Leaving behind our kith and kin, our motherland and settling here...
...we made forests into fertile fields
We are trampled by the Malaysians
You Chinese do the same Plus the Tamilians
Should Tamilians only be slaves?
Should never progress in life?
If someone comes to the forefront...
...into a powerful position
...dresses in a suit and sits crosslegged before you
...you can't digest it
I agree, I am a man of humble beginnings
I'll go back to cutting trees and plucking fruits
I will continue slogging I have nothing to lose
If you think I should not climb up the ladder, I swear I will!
You bet I'll wear a coat
I'll cross my legs and sit in style, showing attitude
If you can't handle it then go to your grave!
"Like fire blazing fiercely"
"Fire in all its fury Try confronting me"
"If you do we will char you"
"To thrash and trample"
"Even in your dreams is it possible?"
"If pushed around will you bow down?"
"To bullying will you buckle?"
"Will you heed any hurdle?"
"Dawn's new identity Our very own Kabali"
"Defer mercy Sever worry"
"Be patient, just a bit Your heart can beat it"
"Everything here is magical illusion"
"Your bravery will start a revolution"
"Righteous rage all the way through"
"Just one word from you the world will change anew"
"Kabali the revolutionary"
"Kabali the visionary"
"Kabali super-vigilante"
Kabali!!
Forgive me
Let's start fresh
KL, Malaysia
Is all yours
I'll support you
Hereafter you are the king
You are the king
Cheers...!!
No, please Kabali...no!
- Congratulations - Thank you very much
Welcome, sir Hello, pa
Meena, put it in a plastic bag
Good...good...good
Meena takes care of our schoo-
She is very responsible Does a great job
That's true, pa
I don't cry nowadays
Very good
Kumudha, hereafter we have 1 more daughter
Meena, right?
Even I thought so
Thank you
We've just finished 12th grade
We'll get our results after 2 months
- Then do what? - She excels in her studies
There's no chance in hell I will pass
But we are more or less sailing in the same boat
You're angry we are being misused
But however well we study opportunities are less here for us
We will get admission for some unheard of course
We'll end up borrowing money to study in a private college
Why are you telling me all this?
We think only you can solve our problems, anna
I am a rowdy
General opinion
Fine, I accept I am a rowdy
I've studied a little bit
What do you want me to do?
Tiger, where were you all this while?
Tiger, where were you?
(gunshot)
