Case is coming up for

final hearing on the 26th

You should speak the truth

without feeling scared

Selvaraj is waiting in the office

of the Superintendent of Police

I'll shoot you if you enter

Turn back and keep going

You are the one misusing

law and order, mind you!

You'll end up a corpse, mental!

You are old-

Don't...this is a big offense

- I'm warning you

- Move...move aside

Welcome Mr President

'Left hand salute, huh?'

I salute with my right hand

to all the higher officials

Then what's the difference

between them and the President?

That's why I used my left hand

I want to meet your boss

Why should I prevent you?

Then you'll cut my allowance

Please come in

Come in

You can sit here

Sit down

Wait here

I'll fetch sir

Take your seat

Until he comes

where do we sit?

You wait here

No rush at all

- I'll bring him right away

- Why are you locking us in?

Didn't I tell you?

He has shown his true colors!

- Shall I call Evidence Kadhir?

- Wait...wait

Maybe is he a stooge

of the Prime Minister?

Please come, sir

They are in here

Does the king of

the common man need a fan?

Superintendent of Police

I know all about you

The day you became the President

Who swore you into office

Which side you'll face when you pee

I know every nitty gritty detail

I even know about you wishing the man

crapping early in the morning!

Good Govt India 2020

For students of all castes, classrooms

For all Indians

clean bathrooms

This is our President's dream scheme

Do not demean our struggle

Suitcase Ponoonjal

If I lift you and make you

dangle from the ceiling...

...all my problems will be solved

What do you mean?

It's been a week since we sent

you the file from Pappireddi 'bhavan'

And you still haven't arrested

the men who hit Usain Bolt!

We've already given you the truck number,

owner's cell number, driver's cell number

What action have you taken?

Such a long journey to get

justice for a mere goat?

That party was willing

to pay compensation

Wrong...wrong

Don't talk so flippantly

All lives in this country are equal

The best of men or beast

I'll bring the military into this

Only because I'm also a Tamilian...

...I'm being patient as I don't want to

humiliate the Tamil Nadu police force

But your behavior

is such a disgrace

It's ridiculed in whatsApp

They kept his car in the Town police station

charging him with drunken driving

After 4 days when they returned

the vehicle, 4 tyres were missing!

Greetings, sir

Because they said 4 tyres...

...please don't assume it's a car

It's a 3 wheeler tempo

3 tyres and a spare tyre

Unable to go for work

They've removed even the horn

I begged them to give this one
