The girl is willing to marry him only if he could build a toilet at his home. Government announces a toilet scheme through which all the villagers will get toilet at their homes throughout India. President plans to visit a village and he chose protagonist's village. What happens when the President comes? is toilet built at their home? did they get married? answers protagonist's act of declaring himself as President.

in our pond'

'An office with a turtle will prosper'

'An office where bribes rule will shatter'

That's called 'Death and departure'

'Next time we will send

Mock turtle, o' Lord!'

'Folks, do you know

what a big disgrace this is?'

'It's the 'spitting at that bear' moment!'

They have come here

with Usain Bolt now

- Usain Bolt...?

- Yes, sir

He's gone viral on Facebook

That's him, sir

'A sand truck hit a goat

on the road, sir'

'Belongs to a big shot in our area'

'These vigilante boys got hold of the goat

and blew the issue out of proportion'

Because it was posted on Facebook...

...the minister's representatives decided

to pay the owner of the goat a compensation

But these boys demanded

a huge amount as compensation

They are hell bent on stopping

trucks from loading sand illegally

Ponoonjal who is with him...

...has a suitcase filled with cases!

He'll file a case for

anything and everything

He is the one who filed

this goat case too

Sir, this girl Isai...

...is the one who posts

everything on Fb

It's getting late for the function

- Leave now

- Okay, sir

Every town has one such idealistic idiot

Self proclaimed vigilantes like him

should be put behind bars

It has all been done and dusted, sir

They can bear the worst beating ever!

Listen, I'm going up to Morappur to give

blenders and grinders as freebies

Whatever it is

I'll see you tomorrow

But President has

banned all free schemes

File has been submitted

but the case is pending

If you give freebies and prevent

people from thinking independently...

...then how will India become

a Super power in 2020?

You buy me stuff with my money

and you call it freebie?

That isn't complimentary

You are forcing a burden

on my back called 'loan'

First salute our President

The norm is for Govt employees

to approach the President

But I'm meeting you face to face

only to effect a change for the better

Because President is India's supervisor

I take so much trouble and

no pep or push from you

Judgment hasn't been passed

in Usain Bolt's case as yet

It's been a week since we

sent you the file from Pappireddi 'bhavan'

Still he hasn't been compensated

Even now they steal sand

from our river banks

Trucks keep loading sand

and continue to deliver

They've turned our village into

a graveyard by (sc)raping our earth

Look at this

fluoride water

Go ahead and show them

President, flash your teeth at them

Such a pest!

Okay, I'll move the files

You first leave this place

Sir, you don't have

to help the President

Act as if you're helping him

That's good enough

Otherwise our entire clan

will be reduced to this state

Condemn sand mining severely
