'This is a story that happened
many decades ago'
'In a seafaring village, a fisherman whose
life revolved only around fish and sea...'
'...stumbled upon a treasure'
'Friendship'
'2 words are oft-repeated
in the annals of history'
'The 2nd word is Fear'
'It was fear that instigated treachery'
'Betrayal is the 1st word,
often heard and repeated in History'
'Time ticked by, submerged in tears'
'The fisherman yearned for forgiveness'
'What followed thereafter'
'Realizing his friendship was now
renewed as a ray of hope...'
'The disciple continued
the journey of his teacher'
'He wanted to shower the world with peace'
'But this world did not
give him peace of mind'
'The fisherman faced the same fate
his friendship experienced'
'The mortal remains of the fisherman,
'...according to common belief is said
to be under a tree in the Vatican'
after this incident'
'Is the improper burial and the decline
of an empire a mere coincidence?'
the answer to fervent prayers'
'Performing what was expected...'
...to grant him the peace
that had been elusive'
'...the leader built
a shrine for the fisherman'
'But can peace be attained so easily?'
'Greed and fury of mankind
hounded and hunted peace'
'Rumors spread that the fisherman's remains
contained mystical powers'
'Therefore wars were waged
Corpses heaped, on a rampage'
'But no one realized
the remains yearned only for peace'
'The fisherman reached
his final destination'
'Can any other dwelling be more apt
than the sea-bed for a fisherman?'
'Having been submerged under the sea
he emerges on every Christmas day...'
'...to makes amends for the friendship
he betrayed, according to folklore'
'Thereafter he rests in peace again'
'Let treachery sleep'
'That by itself is a balm for friendship'
'It augurs well for this world too'
'Shots were fired
on Christmas eve'
Here, bro
Good morning
Is it a good morning?
What is this, Mani?
I said investigation is pending
but they printed it
What's the tearing hurry?
I don't understand
Swaminathan is to blame, madam
- Shall I come later?'
'Only printing to be done'
'Mr Swaminathan'
Complete everything in 1 week
What is this, sir?
Try to understand
This is a small crime-beat article
Shouldn't waste so much time
I worked on it for a week
I went to Tuticorin
I did all this research
Came up with so much work
Christmas night
Everybody was drunk
Jam packed crowd
It's quite common
for such incidents to occur
That's what I too thought at first
But only after I spoke
There's more to it
than meets the eye!
In fact...in fact
I saw him there
The town too seemed very normal
But so much commotion
the very next day!
Sir, even the cops
have closed the file
Police...!
As if they will be bothered
1 more in their 10 cases daily
Exactly, that is what I'm saying
This is very trivial
Sir, there are many hidden stories
in this small incident
Even to listen isn't it confusing?
That's why, sir
I want to write about everyone involved
in this incident as separate chapters
When I do so...
...we'll get answers to all the queries
regarding this incident
Why are you so interested?
'Anything personal?'
Nothing of that sort, sir
In case I don't like this article...
...you should go and
interview that actress
Megha...?
What is the title of your story?
He's like my own son
even if I'm not his father
I'll tell you all that I know
Without missing anything
I, Doss will share with you
But he gives a new meaning
to the word 'style'!
That fellow, huh?
He's a scumbag
Son of a mongrel!
I'll tell you the truth
Akka, I'll tell you everything
'Akka, I'll tell you everything'
'Generally most stories begin with
'So and so is a globe-trotter' or else...'
'A stranger walked into this town'
'But my story is out of the box!'
'No need, madam
Please leave'
'Sir, please stop'
I've told him
whatever I know
This is a different question
Peter, she's pleading, right?
Why don't you oblige?
Shut up, you jinxed jackass!
Tell if you're so concerned
- Bloody pain!
- Right, forget it
Listen, madam
Why do you want to
beg him? I'll tell you
Okay, tell me
'So the story goes-'
Hello...!
What is he telling you?
Don't believe a word he says
Jinxed junk of an ass!
You'll crap in your own 'dhoti'!
How do you know what happened?
Move aside
Can't you hear me?
Move your bloody butt!
Foolish fellow!
Fine, I'll tell you myself
Sir, whatever you tell me
I'll ensure confidentiality
'Crow; Peter'
Peter anna, come
'When we threw the net into the sea...'
'...she got caught in it'
'So damn heavy
10 of us had to lug it'
'So thrilled it was such a big catch...'
'...it was a mere log of wood'
to throw it back into the sea'
'But I didn't have the heart to do so'
'It somehow found
a place in my heart'
'Of course I know'
'Anything found in sea has to be
shared 50-50 with Isaac annachi'
'Even if it's a pair of sandals'
'But this is just a log of wood'
'Just a log of wood'
'On our way back, the engine stopped'
'We had to jump into the sea
and swim to the shore'
'Without Isaac annachi's knowledge...'
'...the fishermen left
the log of wood in my house'
'That night...'
'...I couldn't sleep'
'Significantly a single crow bugged me
by cawing nonstop till daybreak'
hurling stones too, all in vain!'
'Perching itself on the roof...'
'...it watched that log keenly'
'That's when it dawned on me'
'Good lord!'
'This crow has been
following me from the sea'
'I hurled the very same log
it had fixed its gaze on'
'Aiyo!'
'Goodness gracious!'
'I couldn't believe my own eyes!'
A treasure
Telling Her name in Tuticorin is enough
People will queue up to grab Her
Is it that easy to get Her?
Princess of the deep sea, eh?
Stop...!
So-
Why are you referring
to that statue as a female?
Why do you name hurricanes after women?
Tsunami, Katrina, Nila, Nisa
Women = hurricane
Both will be quiet to start with
But if anyone messes around...
...it will turn the town
topsy turvy, in ruins
Then it will whimper
in a corner as if nothing happened!
So where is this?
You mean the hurricane?
No...no
That statue
Thought I'll sell Her
and plan my sister's wedding
But do I break or melt to sell Her?
'Ignorance is bliss' is me
I had a friend in the Customs department
I took him into confidence
He advised me,
'Hey, Peter, don't sell it here'
'If we sell it in Calcutta,
we'll get loads of money'
'We can split 50-50' he said
Do you know how much?
Lakhs...crores...millions
When I was wondering
...he gave me an advance of 10000!
Imagine 10000!
But my hopes crashed
He ran away with Her
and that was it
Later he called me one day
'Peter, She is missing', he said
