What is the problem?

What has happened?

She wants to go to Madras!

She does not know that

Madras been changed to Chennai.

She doesn't know whom

she has to meet there.

Why does she want to go

to India at this age?

Will you allow me

only if I know all this?

Why should I know about the place...

...where I lived once?

Why do you take the vehicle?

She takes my vehicle whenever

she come here from America. Go man

You take care of those who are

from America. She is from London.

London?

Go man!

She is calling you.

She looks like rat...

and she is a bandicoot!

Both make fun of me.

They don't know that we are

smart in earning money.

June 18, 1945 -Madharasapattinam

- Britishers...

- Our land.

Go man.

Car is going!

You should have come with

your group.

Keep it inside.

- Sir! I have unloaded the luggage.

- Go.

Ladies and gentlemen, those

who came here on governor's invitation...

I invite you all on behalf of

the Governor's bungalow.

On this wonderful day...

in this Madras city...

...in our Madras city as the new...

Move man...

I'll hit you.

Do they need a large ground

to play goli (Marbles)?

It is not goli but golf.

- It means?

- They will hit a goli with a stick.

- Parithi wins 1 anna bet.

- Ranga wins 1 anna.

- Parithi!

- Ranga!

Parithi wins 1 anna,

Kabir wins 1 anna.

1... 2... 3...

4... 5...

Kabir gets defeated.

- Parithi wins 1 anna.

- I won't make the bet.

You come off man.

- Parithi wins 1 anna.

- Karna wins1 anna.

- Parithi...

- Karna...

1... 2... 3... 4... 5...

- Parithi wins 1 anna...

- Ayyakannu wins 1 anna.

Sir, don't leave him.

Sir, don't leave him.

1... 2... 3... 4... 5!

What? Are you giving up for me?

Rain is coming!

Brother, come.

It will rain.

Clouds! Oh, Clouds!

Don't rain now!

At dusk

we will call you again!

Don't go away.

Oh! Clouds! Don't rain now.

At dusk

we will call you again!

Don't go away.

The Buckingham canal

is our temple...

We wash clothes

for our living!

Go man... go away man.

We will do our work before the sun set!

Oh! Clouds! Don't rain now.

At dusk

we will call you again!

Don't go away.

When the sun shines,

we will dye the clothes.

We will take off

if it rains.

Come... Only 1. It is 6

Come... only 1. 6 again

Come... Only 1.

It is 3

Like the donkey carrying

a lot of clothes...

...we have enough burden in the life.

The life of launderer is similar to God.

We too carry your bundle of sins

Though we live with dirt

our minds are clean.

They are pure like the sky.

Go man... go away man.

We will do our work before the sun set!

Come man.

We have neither money

nor deceit in our minds.

We don't show off.

So there are no loss or anguish

Greetings sir!

Your shirt is stained.

Where are you from?

I give him a slap.

We have never gone to the school.

We learned by our experience.

Hence, we have no worries.

- One cent is cent.

- One cent is cent.

2 cents are half quarter.

2 cents are half quarter.

3 cents are three fourth.

4 cents are quarter.

Where are you running?

- They are dropping bombs!

- Run!

- They are dropping bombs!

- Run!

They did not drop bombs.

All can come out.

They did not drop bombs.

All can come out.

We will come as bomb sometime.

We are not afraid of any hit by lurching.

Even if we bow down our heads...

...our prestige will not get lost.

We will live as the moist soil.

Go man... go away man.

We will do our work before the sun set!

Come man... come man.

Rain is coming!

Oh, Clouds! Let us drench in the rain.

At dusk,

we showed our joy to you.

- This area...

- Sir!

- What is it? - You have come

with the Britishers! What is the news?

What difference will it make?

Go away from here.

You have come to our place.

...and asking us to go out.

- Is it your place?

- Yes.

A golf course is been

proposed to come here.

Governor has agreed to it.

Try to vacate this place.

Sir! This place belongs to us.

God! I hope our place will be safe.

You know well that many

depend on this place.

Can all be little calm?

We wash the clothes of the

governor's community...

...as we live in the Buckingham canal side.

- Nothing will happen to our place.

- Why?

- Mom said me!

We live here as a community.

We came to know that

our colony is going to be vacated.

If it happens so,

we will be homeless and...

...- we have to go to the road for a living.

- Sir!

Do you want us to beg for a living?

We can't do any thing blindly.

We believe in the river for our survival.

Being the land where Nethaji has born

why do we have to be fearful?

He talks about a dead man.

- Do you know that he is no more?

- Look!

We don't come for a fight

or rowdiness with you.

- Whom are you calling as rowdy?

- Are you calling us as rowdies?

- Stop it.

- Stop. He is talking big

We have to be patient as many

families depend on this profession.

We should handle this softly.

We are going to give application

to the governor.

If you want you can come,

or can sit idle.

Oh my god!

Mind your work!

54... 55... 56...

57... 58... 59... 60.

Run for your life.

- Tell me the name.

- Parithi.

He is the one you told.

But there is no one like him.

You are right.

This was taken 60 years ago.
