Land
In the evolution ofhuman civilization...
...land has playedan important role.
As civilizations developed...
...humans wanted toproduce their own food.
They converted foreststo agricultural lands...
...making it an essentialpart of human consciousness.
Lands they toiled in,became their God...
...their religious riteand a caste ritual.
Land became power!
From our myths and epics,to the present...
...in order to expand borders...
...and to assert power,many wars are being fought.
The defeated sideis being enslaved!
Even in Independent India...
...land ownershipland deprivation...
...and the social statusassociated with it...
...are all unwritten laws.
Even after many centuries...
...this situation hasn't changedmuch in our villages and our cities.
A considerable amount ofland in the cities...
...is retained by the slum dwellersthrough their labour and numbers.
We call them the ‘Urban Poor'.
They face severeoppression in this country.
Corporate companies andland mafia feel that...
...the land of these underrepresented people...
...is ruining the beauty of the city.
That they are unclean...
...and are criminal hubs.Together they conspire to evict the poor.
People are removed brutallyfrom their own land.
They are either thrownoutside the city...
...or into match boxsized housing projects.
They live and die with noland to call their own.
This happens in all our citieswith all of us as the eyewitness.
India’s financial capital...
...Mumbai, is noexception to this.
'Ready!Are we on air?'
I am reporting from the open laundryat Dharavi’s 90 feet road.
The State assembly electionsare round the corner.
Ruling Party ChiefHaridev Abhyankar...
...announced 'Pure Mumbai’scheme in the last term.
A plan to demolish tenementsand construct buildings.
Keys to newly built houses arehanded over in many places.
'Puja' for the first buildingin Dharavi is going on now.
‘Arise’, a people’s movement,is opposing this project here.
Come along, you will see...
The ‘Bhumi Puja’ ishappening on one side...
...and protests by 'Arise'movement right behind.
This first opposition to the scheme hascreated an uproar among the residents.
Hey, what are you doing?
Move
Turn it off!
Stop filming!
Sir, CAMERA!
(slogans)We wash clothes every day.
'We wash clothes every day!'
'We work hard every day.'

''Our houses are ours to keep!''
''Say it all aloud!''

We are the owners andwe don’t have a problem.
What is your problem?

You would have planned tomint money out of this.
Will you leave thesepeople hanging?
Are you the authority here?
Dharavi is going to befilled with buildings.
Trying to save the 'dhobi ghat'?

What did you give for free?
Is Dharavi yourfather’s property?
Your father owns this? Tell me!
Huh?
'Brother', listen.
It's unfair to give houses tosome and not the others.
In the name of 'Pure Mumbai'...

Let’s compromise.
I have sunk all myinvestments in this.
If this projectdoesn’t take off...
...my family will bestranded on the streets.
Please, sir.
I will do as you say.
Not bad huh?
A tiger does changestripes in desperation!
You want us to favour you?
Are we mediating for money here?Huh?
Bloody...
One tight slap!
If they have hidden such a big problemfrom Kaala’s knowledge...
...then something must be wrong.
300 families will lose their jobs.
Out of them 200 familieswill not get houses.
Such culprits!
Here comes Vishnubhai.
What?
At the sight of you...
...we will tremble in fear, is it?
BROTHER!
If you were getting involvedwhy would I be here?
I thought he was beingover-enthusiastic.
I am gradually rising inthe ranks of the party.
If I close this deal…
…they have promised a seatin the upcoming MLA elections.
You...have to help me.
Am I not your brother, anyway?
Hey!
When you need somethingyou call him your brother...
...shower him with love.
These people should sufferfor you to gain reputation?
- That’s your plan, right?- Exactly!
When you become a politician youlose all your dignity, huh?
Shameless people!
Vaali! Having a field daybecause you have support?
Don’t forget your rank.
Hey!
Shut the hell up!
Hey Builder!
Only you can talk.
Brother, don’t createproblems. Please stop.
Kaala Sir!They are trying to cheat you.
We are the people who wash clothes.Who will speak for us?
Where would we go, if not here?
Aren't they doing thisbecause we have no support?
Brother, she is lying.
We consulted everyone.
Even you signed the papers?
Did you talk about demolishing?
Sir.
Everything is happening withpermissions and procedures, lawfully.
HEY!
Are you explainingthe law to us?
We know how to respect the law.
And if it oppresses us,we know how to deal with it.
You are going abit easy on us...
...only because of somelaws that favor us.
If not, wouldn't you havethrown us far away from here?
Look!
If you want your work done...
...repair all the damageand change your design.
They wash clothes for a living.
They will do it right here.
What she says, is the law.Got it?
Yes!
Get it!
Will we act against Brother’s words?
No sir!
Brother, we have to dowhat you say. Right?
-Builder! Listen to him. - Sir. Okay.
I will leave now.

Hey, Beemji!- Kaala.
'Who was it?'
He is the one.
- Him, is it!- Brother...
Devi...!
Hit him back!
Mother, why are you hesitating?
Go beat him up, go.
Brother...!
- 'Go, sister' - 'Mother, why are you quiet?'
Because…she said…all that.
Don’t listen to them anddo something stupid.
'Disrupting the protest!'
Brother-in-law!
They know only to rallywith their flags.
'They know nothing else.'
You bloody...
Take it!
'Superb!'
We know how to hold a flag...
...and to hit back.
Yes! Fantastic.
You raise a finger againI will thrash you.
Who are you messing with?
'Hey! Why are you screaming?'
Take the hits I said!
You are the reason for this.
You think I am a dudto take a beating from a woman?
- One stab.. - Hey!
HEY!
Stop... Stop!
Who are you toraise your hand against him?
Who are you?
If Dharavi is a tiny India withall castes, religions, languages...
...he is its King!He is its Counsel!
If he gives you an ordershut the hell up and do it.
Do it!
We are nobodies here.
Nothing absolutely!
He doesn't realise that yourflag has been flying here for too long.
He doesn't!
An out-dated flag mustbe lowered, right!
Hey wait till the elections.
We will take care of this.
Let's hoist a new flag!
'Searching for your sunglasses?They have fallen off.'
Hari Daada is watching you!
- Move!- 'Hey, off!'

Am I not the one suffering now?
Aunty, it is “Mumbai".
Ya right!
Look, you have put toomuch salt in this.
Add tamarind water.Your Uncle won't like it.
As if she is the onlygood cook around.

Mother, is it the firsttime this is happening?
Come here, I needto talk to you.
Listen, whatever it is, talkto your father directly.
If I knew how to talk to him, I won't ask you.
Hey! Tell me this...

Now why do you findDharavi unacceptable?
Is your wife provoking you?
- Hey, what did I do?- Why do you involve her?
Let Dharavi end with me,I don’t want it for my kids.
Fine. Tell your wife tostop watching Hindi soaps.
Hey, which bone didyou break today?
Nothing, mother.
- Like father, like son!Uncle was fighting too. - Hey!
He will fight, of course!Let me see for how long.
Even those who married intothis family don’t respect me.
See...
I can buy some beef for him...
...and make some soup.
What will I give this one?"VIGITARIAN" he will say.
Aunty! It is not "VIGITARIAN",It’s "VEGETARIAN".
So?
I can only say VIGITARIAN.So what?
Hey, why are you hurting my son?
- Ya right!- Finding faults with me.
He has no brains.

A friend must give good counsel.
Why are you provoking him?
- As if he will listen.- My dear, sit facing the east.
Why now?
Just do what I say.
Everyone talks about you in the town.

'I know them all!'
'Tender for Dharavi rehabilitation...'

-Vaaliyappa. Look here. - Yes, Brother-in-law.
They have announced it!
What is it Uncle?
Dharavi is going to befilled with buildings.
The news is out.
Perumalsamy!
Lot more will happen.Wait and watch.
Dharavi is ours, Brother.
Go tell everyone, Dharavi is ours.
(NEWS) 'That was live from the headquarters...'
'Increase the volume, please.'
'You were watchingthe press conference live'.
'The Government has agreed to implement‘Pure Mumbai’ scheme in Dharavi.'
'This scheme was stalled manytimes due to opposition.'
'There is going to be toughcompetition for the tender.'
-What are you looking at? - 'Hey Ashwin.'
This will be theonly news from now.
Isn't it time?
Let's go.
Come on!
Is someone goingto pick us up, mother?
It’s actually big!
'Zareena Ma'am!’
Mother!
'Vanakkam' Ma'am.
How are you?All good?
Fine! Fine!
Welcome!
- Lenin works with us.- So nice to meet you!
My darling!
You have to live a 100 years.
Live well, my dear!
Bhavani sister!- 'Vanakkam'.
Meet Zareena Ma'am.
- She has come from abroad.- Are you good?
Here...
The person who hascome here today...
...is Zareena Ma'am.
She has won manyinternational awards.
For the urban poor inAfrican countries...
...to lead a dignified life...
...she has built1000's of buildings.
Her coming to Dharavi...
...was made possibleby Perumalsamy Brother.
- 'Perumalsamy, Brother!'- 'Super'.
Good times await us, truly.
As our first task...
...we have to get a quotationready for the tender.
We need to mentionour fundamental needs...
...and attach it with the quotation.
If the government likes it...
...they will allot us the tender.
- Am I right?- 'Yes, Yes'.
Now...
Let's list everythingwe need, one by one.
When you hurry to thetoilet in the morning...
...is it possible tosquat peacefully?
Non-stop... Knocking.
We should first put an endto this public toilet nuisance.
Right! A toilet ineach house sounds good.
But, how will youmeet your lovers then?
That is where I metmy husband first.
My parents never let mestep out of home.
I would meet my husbandwhen I would go to use the toilet.
- ‘Go now, too?’- Buzz off.
What other thingsdo you need?
Sister, we need a playground.
We need schoolsand colleges here.
I want a Gym.
Hospitals, good roads,fresh drinking water!
No privacy in the housefor a couple to sit and talk.
You stay up like anowl to hold hands.
By the time you kiss…That’s it!
Ya right!You say your side of the story.
Such a tiny spacewith adolescent kids.
You know how embarrassing it is?
A house to lie down comfortablyat least before I die.
- That’s all I need.- Brother!
Fellow-students say...
...Dharavi is a dump yard,an ugly place.
We must change thename “Dharavi” first.
You are right! Say the name Dharavi...
...and the police pullyou in some case.
We have to make the'Ganesh' Temple bigger.
Isn't that our identity?
What about the Mosque?
So many Tamil Muslimshelped build it.
We should preserve it too!
Cross road, 90 feet, Kalyanwadi…
...Tamil people should stop living inneighbourhoods divided by caste, Brother.
‘Absolutely!’
Ma'am!
Please...a few words Ma'am.
Vanakkam.
I...
I was born andbrought up in Dharavi.
My family lived right herein Beema Chawl.
'Whose family there?'
We are Muslimsfrom 'Pathamadai'.
In the 1970's....
...there was...
There was a riot,remember?
That's when...
...that's when we left.
I have gone aroundthe whole world.
Rio…in Brazil…
- The Olympics venue?- Yes!
That city has many big slums.
There...
...even when I worked there...
...the place...
...the place I was born...
...must also be like this,was my constant thought.
But...
...I never came back to Dharavi.
I kept thinking...
...that I must come back.
So…
But...
...I can’t do anything alone.
It's our Dharavi!
We must join handsto develop it!
(people cheer)
When Dharavi was a garbage dumpnobody cared for us.
We are now the centerof the city, right?
Everyone’s eyeing us.- Rightly said.
Government is backing them too.
We have to be careful.
If we stand togethernobody can do anything.
-Salaam. Vanakkam.- Sure, Brother-in-law. One tight slap!
- Yes Brother.- You are right!
Electricity Board, I tell you!

Yes!
Brother-in-law...Brother-in-law.- SSSHHH!

- Some other day.- Alright.
See you all.
'Come often.Brother-in-law will like it.’
Bye, Karikaalan.
See you.
'Lenin!'
-Son-in-law.-Come.
Sister! Don't worry about anything.
How do they drink this nonsense?
Why do you drink it then?
Those days…
'…this land was filled withsludge and wild grass.'
'When our people came from Tirunelveliseeking jobs with their kith and kin...'
'...Vengaiyan wouldhelp them build huts.'
'He was the center of everything.'
'Huts with 4 logs and a tarpaulin.'
'Then half built walls and tin roofs.'
'We owe our life here, today...'
'...to your grandfather, Vengaiyan'
'Every time...'
'...we tried to setup a placethere were so many problems.'
'This Hari...'
'...big leader...my foot!'
'He was a nobodycompared to Vengaiyan.'
'Hari was supported by the ruling party.'
They waited till we took aspace, readied it, built houses.
Then they would come to...
...chase our people away.
Brave Vengaiyan,would not allow it.
'Youngsters from the make-shiftdorms backed Vengaiyan.'
'Hands that toiled in farms...Won't they know how to take up arms?'
'Hari Daada couldn’tdo anything here.'
'Vengaiyan ruled overDharavi like that.'
He couldn’t take it.
Suddenly...
...Indira Gandhideclared Emergency.
'Hari used the situation andentered Dharavi with the police.'
'To protect themselvesKaala and Vengaiyan...'
'...jumped intoPathamadai Ayub’s house.'
'There was noelectricity back then.'
'It was pitch-black.'
'Zareena came with a chimney lampand stood in front of Kaala.'
'Wow! Just wow!'
'Brother-in-law was swept away.'
There must havebeen sparks, right?
Absolutely. Absolutely!
Sister! Look.
They had just startedSIWS Junior College.
'My College...'
'At the water pump...'
'...at the toilet,near the temple...'
'...at Aurora theatre.'
I didn't miss outon a single place!
I followed her like a madman.
The news about our lovespread like wildfire.
'We never expected...'
'...my father and my relatives...'
'...to accept ourrelationship so soon.'
A life with myfavorite Karikaalan...
...was starting.I was excited about it.
'Our marriage was finalized.'
'But…'
In his desperationto take over Dharavi...
...this Hari Daada...
...was trying to finishoff Vengaiyan somehow.
'He used Kaala’s weddingas an opportunity.'
'They killed anyonewho came their way.'
'Our people didn’tknow what to do.'
'Hari Daada slaughtered Vengaiyanin front of Kaala’s eyes.'
'The wedding stage was blazing.'
'That day, that fire separatedKaala and Zareena forever.'
'Our dream was shattered.'
'To get to know thatKarikaalan was fine...'
'...took me so many years.'
'Fearing the riots,my grandparents...'
...took me to Nasik.
At that age, I couldn’tdecide what to do.
A Pastor sent meto the US to study.
Showing riots as a reason,they banished Kaala.
Almost like an exile.We didn’t know where.
Kaala was so lost with noinformation on Zareena.
We couldn’t find outabout her at all.
He started growing the beard.Hasn’t shaved it since.
'I got marriedunaware of all this.'
Hindi sad songs, all the time.
♪ Between you and me ♪It would go on and on.
Will I be quiet?
I would even the scorewith an 'Ilayaraja' song.
"Zareena!"He would call in a hurry.
Then he would salvage it somehow.
I used to curse my fate.
Doesn't father love you?
Go ask your father.
He is a nobodywithout this Selvi.
'Aunty!'
I think Uncle issmitten by Zareena.
Why wouldn’t he?
Doesn’t she look like'Madhuri Dixit'?
'Hey! My Sister is the best.'
Come in, Zareena.
No. I got some work.
Lenin?
Lenin? Let me get him.
Hey Lenin!
Where is he?Hey, LENIN!
- Father?- Uncle?
- Wh..wh...where is he?- What happened Uncle?
- WHERE?- Up there.
There!
Where the hell did he disappear?
- Hey! Come soon.- What happened?
- Zareena is waiting.- Who?
Zareena is waiting!
Quick. Go.
'Hello, Ma'am.'
- What is happening?- 'Were you busy?'
'I was getting ready.'
Why is he so jumpy?
'Looks like it will rain.'
'Ya.Ya.'
- Lets leave?- Yes.
- Bye. - See you.
Let's go Ma'am.

The first timeI saw your face...
…is still clearly etched in my memory.
I was so scared.
How you werelooking at me.
I know.
You covered your kneesas soon as you saw me.
Threw a dupatta over yourself.
You were wearing a rosecolour shirt and...
...a brown colour skirt.
It is still etched in my eyes.
Wow!
How well you remember.
Do you like me so much?
A lot.
Till now?
I couldn’t accept...
...that you wouldn’t be mine.
But, this life…
…is so terrible.
Brings me to youone more time.
Watches the spectacle!
Sorry.
Listen, how are youstill so young?
Yeah right.
I am being serious.
Look at me.
Old and grayed.
But you?
Thanks.
My daughter’s friendssay this too.
Hey, I was just joking.
You took that seriously and...
...don’t you feel thatyou missed me?
I feel that a lot.
I wish you hadn'tseen me again.
I think that a lot.
Selvi trusts me a lot.
I should make sure that sheisn't disheartened, even mildly.
Because...
...I am her universe.
Just me.
Even now...
...she would knowthat I am meeting you.
But she didn't say a word.
Your life...
...will not be affectedeven a bit by me.
I am not thinkingon those lines.
I know.
What is this, Karikaalan!
I am not your Zareena.
I have changed.
Completely!
To be that personin your memories...
...is all I want.
I...I...feela bit weird.
Like, Selvi...
...is rightnext to you.
Let’s go Karikaalan.
Please...
...don’t call me that.
Ok!
I will leave now.

Haven’t you slept yet?
Sleeping with my eyes openCan’t you see?
Hey.
I just went to have achat with her.
Did you?
My eyes were filled with you.
I couldn’t even look at her.
Oh! What flattery.
Look! I am going to Tirunelveli.
Why?
You think onlyyou had lovers?
I studied Grade 8at 'Ambai'.
Walked all the way.
'Parai' drum player Perumal...
...used to chase me like a madman.
I liked him as well.
- But you brought me here.- Hey!
Listen, book me a ticket.
I will gohave a chat with him.
Just like you.
'Rules should be the same, right?'
Hey!! Selvi!
Hey...Hey...Selvi!
She is not the ZareenaI had known.
She seems like another person.
She feels thatI have changed too.
Really?
Why would I lie?
Then say you love me.
Hey!
You won’t say, is it?
Hey... No...No…I love you my dear.
I love you my darling.
I feel like crying.But I won’t.
Why should I?
No…No…You shouldn’tcry my darling.
I love you.
So...
...were you reallyin love with Perumal?
It’s raining. Wow!
Good rains, right?
Brother-in-law...
...the same message is beingforwarded for the 9th year now.
Idiots. I am receiving itfor the 6th time.
‘Are you serious?’
We are going to do whatno one else could in Dharavi?
You've always made fun of us!
Watch what we do now.
- Is it?- 'On my way, Ma'am.'
My dear Nephew,is Dharavi getting a golden roof?
'Come to the Temple tomorrow.'
‘Arise’ movement will lead from now on!'
'We have won the tender.'
Yes, sure!
'Bring the leader ofyour Asura clan too.'
- 'Did you hear me?'- Yes!
‘Dharavi: NowLet’s see how this will change.'
'First: Houses.'
'225 to 350 square feet houses...'
'...not for everyone.For those the Government qualifies...'
'...in batches.'
'Then, Golf Course...'
'...Hospitals, Pubs, Schools.'
'Your children will getfree education in these schools.'
'Rich kids will have a separate school.'
'Hospital will be the same.'
'You can avail free treatmentONLY during weekends.'
- Noticed the golf ground?- Superb.
'Let’s sell the buildingsalong the main road.'
'What do you think?'
- That's not our sector.- 'We don't want freebies.'
- This side.- 'You think!'
'Isn't it a silent revolutionfor equality!'
- Thank you so much.- Thank you!
So kind of you!
- Thank you so much, Sir.- Thank you so much.
Superb!
It’s so overwhelming!
Saw how our newDharavi will look?
Huh?
Our Architect sir...
...and our Builderdeserve a round of applause.
Dharavi WILL have a new name.
Dharavi will betruly liberated now.
Yay! My friends willvisit me now. Superb!
Sir, why do we needa golf course?
Cricket, football and kabadiare our games, right?
Hey! Quit blabbering.
Lenin!
What’s wrong in what he says?
'Why do we need a golf course?'
Hey! It’s ok. It’s ok.
Everything has to becomehigh-class.
'Otherwise, how will your friendsrespect you?'
'Exactly!'
Your happiness...
...is our priority.
Zareena Ma’am is hereto do exactly this.
This is a victoryfor all of us.
Hey!
Applaud for Hari Daada’s victory.
What are you looking at?
Idiots! Go on.
Carry on. Louder!
You will never…
What are you all looking at?
Vishnu can’t do anything directly.
So you have comein the name of change.
You praise himand he appreciates you.
What is all this drama?
Uncle, you have startedyour nonsense, is it?
Hey! Why are you threatening him?
Isn’t that the truth?
Don’t you knowwho is Manu Builder?
Selvam, don’t start offon this tangent.
Isn’t it enoughif our job gets done?
You want these peopleto live in this muck?
Who came to uswhen we were in muck?
'Now...'
'...when we've madethis place worth living...'
'...they come drooling.'
We have Bandra-Kurlacomplex on one side.
Five railway stations around.
'Commuting from Dharavito anywhere in Mumbai is easy.'
That's the reason.
MLA sir, wait!Don’t misinterpret this.
- This is not our motive.- 'Who is this halfwit?'
Stadiums and golf course,it seems.
It takes 74 acresto build a golf course.
Let's say you build it in 50 acres...
...why should we give all that landand end up in 225 square feet houses?
Are we idiots to exchangea goldmine for chaff?
'Hey! Stormy.'
Attached toilets in a houseis enough, is it?
Yes! You will raise buildings here.
Won’t Kaala’s reputation be dented?
- Hey!- Hey!
- How will he survive then?- Have some respect.
He needs a share, Ma'am.
Give him that,he will be quiet.
Come let’s go.
Nonsense.
Get out!
Stop it!Stop it, I said.
So many Governments.So many builders.
But nothing has changed.
'Here comes the NGO Ma'am!'
Nothing has changedsince the time I left.
You have concerns, you have problems?Then give it to me in writing.
KARIKAALAN.
You create a ruckus andleave without a word?
Listen, let me comestraight to the issue.
This is our land.
A land that our ancestors created.
Ask the Government to help us.
We will build our housesthe way we want to.
And keep it clean.
I guarantee you that.We all do.
What do you all say?- (People agree)
Government will do everything, is it?
What will the Government do then?
Don’t say that the Governmentis in debt.
Government officials and politicianslive comfortably with scammed money.
Where did that money come from?Huh?
'On the point!'
You sell this land now, right now.
Just the land willfetch you 400 billion!
You want us to give it allup and live like losers?
Hey, Rebel leader!Shut this market and come home.
Infuriating…!
- Get angry, brother-in-law.- Stupid people!
Give me the spanner.
'Why are you breaking it?Mother, don't interfere.'
'What?'
Grandfather..Lenin Uncleis breaking something.
Let's just do our job, alright?
Hey! Where are you going?
- Listen to me.- Let me go.
I will slap you now.Where are you going?
- Hey. Stop.- 'Hey...'
All that you broke just nowis what I had earned.
What your brothers earned...
...I will break it all.
So biased all the time.
Say to my face thatI have no rights.
Beating around the bush.
Chi... Why are you crying?
Why did I give you thatRevolutionary's name?
I am unable to even yell at you.
Did I ask you? I willchange that name.
You keep quiet!
Don’t cry my darling.
Let’s change that name.
We will call you Vengaiyan...Not that name.
Take my Dad's name 'Muniyan'.
Mother!
You think it's funny?
Ganging up.
Hey, are we running a show here?Get lost, I warn you.
It’s ok dear.
What?
We gathered a groupto do some good things.
He ruined it all.
Some nonsense or the other.
Yes...
We are the pawnsfor your revolution?
Why not? Are you thedecision maker here?
Lenin, watch your tongue!
Things will go out of hand.
What will you do?You will get no respect.
'Don't be rude to your brother!'-What?
How dare you talk back?I will give you a tight slap.
- 'Going on and on'- Wait. Relax.
This is between us.
Hey!
Your lover, Stormy...
Have you evergone to her building?
15 people live in those houses.Suffocated.
If we have to live the chawl life,why do we need buildings?
So?
Show me a placewithout problems!
He has come toconstruct buildings...
...not bungalows.
They come with money on their mind, not people's welfare.
How will they build good houses?
Hari Daada that too…
When were the richconcerned about the poor?
Show me one unselfishperson. Let me see?
This is why....
...you shouldn't do anything.
We shouldn’t do anything, is it?
And you? Rowdyismis all you know.
YES! I am a rowdy.
People you support are good?
With money and powerrowdies become patrons.
No understanding of theland and its people.
You read 2 books and go aroundmuttering change and revolution.
Understand the basics first.
Yes, sir our headsare filled with clay.
Selvam Brother.
You started it all!
Poor Zareena Ma'am.
So much blood.
Let them rot here.
All for them and...
Oh! Wow!
We will all cry because heisn't leading the revolution.
Go on! Leave.
I am going to leave.
I have an education and a job,I will take care of myself.
Hit me with a slipper if I evertalk on their behalf.
Imbeciles...
They are cheap-minedthat's why they live in...
- Who do you call 'cheri'?- Dear.
- Don't...- Dear.
- 'Cheri' is it?- Dear.
- Hey...Hey!- 'They're beating their grown up son.'
- Kaala is angry.- Mother, tell him to calm down.
Cry.
Don’t talk to him father.
'He has gone mad.'
'Listen to what he is saying.'
'Cry, you idiot.'
Yes!
We are cheap people.
You grew up comfortably.
That’s why 'cheri' peopleappear low to you.
According to you...whetherwe like it or want it...
...we must live on the road you say.
Drink the water you pour.
Eat the rice you give away.
If we refuse, you willsay "Starving dogs..."
"...look at their arrogance."
Hey.
Someone like you hasno place in my house.
Get out!
Only if you suffer youwill understand life.
Hey! Send him out.
- Send him I said!- Dear, wait.
Wait. Where will he go?Doesn't he have to think?
He thought we willstop him from leaving.
If you push him to leave,where will he go?
Poor thing.
My sweet heart!My boy.
Go to some place good.
Eat at the right time.
Take care of your healthmy dear one. Ok?
WHA...?
What is this crowd. Huh?
What's up my Nephew?Going on a tour?
Huh?
What a swanky bag!Long trip, is it?
Buy me a souvenir when you come.
Hey, fire-setter!
I will kill you first.
Why are you getting irked?
(religious chants)
Oh lord Ganpathi!'Moriya!'
'Why are you crying onsuch an auspicious day?'
Hey, isn't the elevator working?
No way!
'Where are you going?'
'Dadar Beach.'
Hey!
Are we here yetor further up?
Come.
Where are you going, Sister?
Ganesh Temple, Stormy.
Hmmm...
Come.
Let's go out.
Lenin!
Let's rethink, Lenin.
I feel that Kaala is...
...doing the right thing.
- Selvam.- Mother, shall we move?
- Where is Dad?- Back there.
Hey! Come fast.
You know Zareena's housefor sure, right?
I know, Kaala.Let’s go.
Don’t drop me offsomewhere else.
Kaala, I know everynook and corner here.
Why are you scaredlike a schoolboy?
Scared is it?Move.
Why are you gettingtensed Kaala?
Hurry up!
Don’t stop anywhere.Kaala is going alone somewhere.
(religious chants)
Brother, Kaala is going via 'Sion'.We got a call.
What?
Kaala is going alone.
We can finish him off now.
- Sure, it’s him?- Yes.
- Confirmed?- Yes!
He is right here.Quick! Quick!
Turn left!
This is the house.
Why are you scared Kaala?I am here with you right?
Cool.
Hey! Buzz off.
See! Didn’t I tell you?
Just leave!
Carry on! Have fun.
Hi...!
Kaeira, go to the other room.
Kaeira, beautiful name.
Kaeira means black in Greek right?
Yes. It means “Kaala”.
Kaeira finish your homework. Go.
You both talkI will go. Ok?
Errr...
Actually, I don’t know what to say.
If you were alright...
...none of this will matter.
KARIKAA…
Sorry.
I am totally fine.
I heard that you were hurt.That’s why I came to see you.
Thanks!
Thanks a lot Karikaalan.
Sorry, Sorry!I should call you KAALA.
So much concern.
I am ok!
I will leave now.
You are doing wonderful thingsfor the people who trust you.
What were you doingall these years?
Could you bring asingle builder?
That Architect was …
So...
What you say musthappen here, is it?
You know nothing beyond rowdyism.
I am not the one to getscared of all this.
Don’t spill your words in anger.
You don’t realise whois behind all this.
That’s the truth.
That Hari…
…can’t be involved directly.
Comes disguised as abuilder behind your NGO.
You are just crazyrefusing to see this.
Stop it!
Don’t judge me!
Crazy, is it?Am I crazy?
I know what I am!
Ok?
I was born here too.
You treat me likeI support Hari Daada.
You want to settleyour enmity with him...
...and you use these peopleas lambs for this slaughter.
I won’t let it happen.
I know how toimplement this scheme.
I will do it, Mr. KAALA.
Hello…
"Africa-return" Ma'am.
I will always be selfishabout our rights.
My people are not lambs tobe slaughtered by anybody.
You can't lay a single brickin the name of Manu Builders.
Listen Kaeira’s mother!
You haven’t seen mydownright rowdyism yet.
You will!
Got it?Please do.
Karikaalan!
Hey! Don’t roam the streetsaimlessly, alright?
I am not doing that Kaala.
Do something to takecare of your mother.
Ok?
All that’s fine…
Hey! Why are you going this way?
Let’s just go this way, Kaala.
Why are you turning around?We have to go this way.
Kaala, wait…
What’s up with this boy?
Why are you doing this?
- What happened?- Kaala!
They have rounded us up.
Stop the bike.I said stop.
Hey! Go.
Kaala!
Step back, I said.
What’s up guys?
Setup is it?
I, Vengaiyan’s son,am standing all alone.
Come on, if you have the guts.
Let’s fight it out!
Father…
'Run!I should not see you in this area.'
I will finish you off first.
Then your father.
I will kill you.
- Bro! Come let’s go.- Let's move.
Move! Move!
Get in.
Beemji, come.
Couldn't you havesaid a word to me!
You sent our son anyway, right?
Even if you don’t utter a wordyour every breath tells me...

- 'Tell him, too'- I will, Sir.
Sunil Brother had called.
Hari Daada has toldyou not to surrender.
It’s an issue of his prestige.
His men will come now.
Go with them.
Nobody can touch you!
Being with them issafer than the prison.
Ok?
All ok?
- Yes, brother.- Let’s leave.
Patil, see you!
Kill him, now!
Hey! Kill me.

My close pal, Vaaliyappan.
He looks like a good man.
You are right.
In his white and white…
Shut up! Is it enoughto wear white?
He didn’t even drinkwater from our house.
I wanted to meet the onemessing with my dreams.
Just came to take a look.
Take a good look then.
It was nice meetingyou and your family.
Now, let Dharavi be amemory of your past.
Because from nowDharavi will be mine.
Just mine.
Sister, take care of him.
Hari Daada!
I didn’t say you could leave.
You could have enteredDharavi at will.
But to leave it,you need my permission.
Let's move!
Take left.
Ok! Right!
Get aside. Get aside.
'Let me check.'
'Don't let him go.'
Hello, Sir.

We are trying.
'We are locked up here.'
What are you doing?Do something.
- Patil, what happened?- Sir.
Sunil just called…They are…
- Don’t tell me what’s happening there.- We are trying.
Daada, we are trapped.It is difficult to get out.
We must shoot all of them.Only then we can leave.
Do you have these many bullets?
Hello.
'Has the Minister arrived?'
'Put him on the phone.'
Oh! Damn!
'Hey!Look here!'
What happened?
Lost your sense ofEast and West in Dharavi?
Kaala’s house is right here.
Apologise and go home soon.
Go!
Give him way.
Go! Take permission.
Can I leave?
Kaala Sir, can I go?

Ahaana, look here!
- Grandfather!- Show me.
Show me too.
Grandfather...
...your video is on Facebook.
Who is Kaala, Grandfather?
Ravana!
The Demon King!
Thinks with his ten heads.
So...Ram will kill Ravana?
Grandfather, why are you laughing?
Vaalmiki has written it that way.
He must be killed right.
Sir, this is Zareena.
ZAREENA!
She is working towardsgetting people's consent.
Sir...
Sir, I am very sorry aboutwhat happened in Dharavi.
But...
If your company refuses...
...our people will really suffer.
Actually sir, there areonly very few people...
...who are misguided in Dharavi.
'Because some people opposeeveryone shouldn't suffer, right?'
I have always thoughtabout people's welfare.
'Absolutely!'
- What is his name?- Who?
Kaala.
- 'Yes.'- KAALA.
Yes, Kaala.
To err is human, right?
For one person's mistake...
...why punish another?
Get the consentfor the scheme.
I will stand by you.
I want to make thiscountry, clean...
...and pure.
'Yes. Absolutely.'
'Thank you Sir.'
We were hoping the same too.

What do you want?Go on.
Kids! Go in and sleep.
'HEY!'
Kids are just playing.Why send them?
What do you want to talk about?
It is so nice to seeyou and mother together.
You struggled to bring us up.
That's why we live well now.
We have no other complaints.
But...
Hey! Why are you hesitating?
Father...
After what you did whenHari Daada was here...
...he is beingthreatened at his office.
He wanted to leave home.
I convinced him to talkafter the ceremony.
Leaving?
Let us all leave!
We are doing well in our lives.
Why get into all these problems?
So many people have left Dharaviafter becoming Doctors and Engineers...
...why live in this muck?
At least the next generationcan be peaceful, right?
'Who lacks peace now?'
Are you all scared?
If he were scared, he wouldn'thave brought us all up so well.
You refuse to use your brain!
So...?
Isn't he the one whokilled Vengaiyan grandfather?
Listen...! You should never fear.
Selvi...
Didn't you tell them storiesof our brave Tamil women?
- What did you teach them?- Like they will listen!
You have decided to leave, right?
Nobody here will stop you. Leave!
You can't stay a second more.
If you do... I won'thold my tongue!
Hey! Stop!
Is this how you speakto the children?
Hey, listen...
...she is just joking.
Aunty! Why are yougetting angry?
Shouldn’t we say anything?It is for all our good, right?
Hey!
How long will a gold mine lastif you keep digging into it?
It is such a small problem.Why are you pushing him around?
One tight slap!
Uncle, just shut up.
Such a drunkard!
I am talking to my father.
- Mind your business. - HEY!!!
How dare you disrespect elders!
If you leave this place yourproblems will disappear, is it?
You will change yourplace your language...
...your food.
Leave everyone behind and live like aking elsewhere? Do you call that life?
If you want things tochange, do it from here.
He left this house too.
But did he leave Dharavi?
We might have amillion differences...
...but I don't doubt the respecthe has for this land.
I am a tree, rooted right here!
Bury me or burn me...But right here.
- Actually, father..- 'Hey!'
Another word and...Get in!
Go!
Get inside.
'Go!'
'Let's talk in the morning.'

Uncle! Calm down.
Hey! Relax.
A whole army is here.
It's alright! Come! Come!
'All of you must eat.'
- Selvi!- Huh?

Dear!Keep quiet.
What's happening?
What's up?
So many of you are here!
There is a warrant forVishnu Bhai's murder.
Murderer has surrendered right?
- Why are you here?- Don't create problems now.
Come to the Police Station.
Come!
Try laying a finger!
Grandfather!
'Selvam, should I take you too?'

- Yes Sir.- Ok!
Brother-in-law! Hold on!
What is this habit ofarresting at night?

Hey, Sivaji!
How are you?Are your kids good?
Make them study well!
Dear!Dear!

We didn't study.
The kids must study well.
- It's all your mercy.- EDUCATION!
Hey...Kumar!
Who brought you here?
- Patil...- Sir?
Release him!Huh?
Oh!
Couldn't handle allthe food you ate?
Took a stroll to digest is it?
- Hey, one tight slap they will get!- Shut up and come!
Brother, the Minister's people approached me.
They wanted to settlethis by talking.
That's why I arranged ameeting without further delay.
Let's talk it out brother.
Minister, is it?
Vanakkam.Namashkar.
Live long!
You have contacts atministerial level?
Crafty guy you are!
Can we fly the peace flag now?
'Yes Brother.'
Let's do that!
Why sit here for that?
Let's sit in front of my houseand resolve this matter.
Selvi will offer us hot coffee.
- What do you say, Kumar?- 'Actually Brother.'
- Hey Patil!- Sir?
Is this why you brought me here?
You should havetold me this right?
Sir, wait...
- Come.- Sit down.
- Let's go!- Hey, where are you going?

Your wife and children are good?
Which is your Ministry?
Seeing good money?
Money. Bribe?
Brother, why are you doing this?
- I am asking about bribes.- Just sit, I said.
Don't you know how to behave?
Hari Daada's words havea bearing in the Government.
Ok?
Nothing happens in Dharaviwithout your consent, I hear!
Is it? Kumar wastalking about it.
- Is it?- 'Yes Brother.'
Hari Daada is agood, honorable man.
He will forgive youif you apologise.
I will arrange for a meeting.
Seek apology.
Kumar!
Who is this guy?
(man giggles)
Hey, get out.
- What is that sound?- Nothing, sir.
Why are you resisting?
Such influential people...
I am doing this for our good.
If you do something stupid...
...you will land us all in trouble.
I am quiet only becausewe have known each other.
I will break your head.Step back you idiot.
I thought you werea respectable man.
I am trying to resolvethis amicably.
Only because you havepeople's support here.
Let me talk to Hari Daada.
Let's end this.
How many children do you have?
Three, is it?
- Four.- FOUR?
A house for each of them.
A house in your name.
A place for your factory.
All this...
...for you.
Just don't interferein this scheme.
(whispers)Kumar...
I won't hurt you. Come close.
(whispers)What Brother?
- Kumar.- Yes!
Who is this idiot?
HEY!
Are you kidding me?
You won't get out alive.
Migrant dog! Do youwant to rule Mumbai?
Hey!
Get involved again...I will crush you to death.
What fun!
What absolute fun!
Go ahead if you have the gall!
One more word and I will...
(indistinct argument)
Welcome!Welcome!
Hari Daada!
Namashkar!
You are here too, is it?
Tell me this...
Who is this?
Thug?
Blabbering nonsense.
Who sends him for peace talks?
I told you already...No more talks about Dharavi.
Bring it up again. You won'tbe sparkling in white anymore.
''Meeting over.''
Ok?
"Over. Meeting."
I have my eyes on you.
How dare...
Selvam...
...they are beating your father.
- 'What happened?'- 'What?'
'They are beating up dad.'
Apologise!
Do it!
Touch Daada's feet.
Buzz off, Idiot.
Kaala, this is not your mistake.
Who I am?Where I am from?
You don't seem to understand.
People fear me.
After all your mistakes...
...I am still readyto forgive you.
(slogans)Release Kaala, right away!
Release Kaala, right away!
I have a status in this society.
Only I know the thingsI've done to reach here.
How many unidentified corpses?
Right here in Dharavi...
...how many riots I engineered?
I am trying to forget it all.
But you keep reminding me.
When you killed Vengaiyan, you didn'texpect his son to be the end of you!
Right?
Release Kaala, right away!
Sir...
Too many people have gathered outside.
Media is here as well.
Please...
...it is not advisableto do anything now.
(glass shatters)
(people revolt)
Everyone gets a chance in lifeto rectify their mistakes.
I have a good opportunityto do the same.
You murdered Vishnu...
...defeated me in the elections.
Shamed me and...
Daada...!
Daada don't do anything now, please.
Please...please understand.
How dare you laugh!
You have no fear.
The fearless and the idiotare divided by a thin line.
You won't understandeven if I tell you.
Time will tell you.
Proof and Justicewill not matter then.
I won't do anything to you now.
All those peopleshouting outside...
...will put you on an altar,garland you, worship you and...
...make you into a God.That must not happen.
Hey, let him go.
Laid a finger on me right.
Ok Dude! OKAY!
Selva...
We have to bea step ahead of him.
- Get ready!- Ok, Father.
What a fanatic?
I want him to burn in hell.
How dare he hurt you!
I am so angry that...
...I want to hack him topieces and go to jail.
Hey! Shut up!
You think I would let him hurt me?
Wouldn't I havethrashed them all?
That's what I thought too.Can he lay a finger on my dear?
All that's fine.What is this on your face?
You punched yourself, is it?A mark of your valour?
Stop laughing.
'He will rot to death.'
'Rotten person.'
Why did you let go of him?
Of course I didn't.
I broke his mouth open.
I even brought a toothto make you believe.
- Really? Let me see.- Yes.
Here it is.
It was right here.Where did it disappear? Where?
Are you looking for this?
- Are you looking for this?- Let go! Stop!
Why are you hiding that now?
It is all going beyond limit.
She comes there, standsthere and weeps...
..and when I see, shewipes off her tears.
I don't know whereall this is going.
I will wait to watch.
Hey! Stop it.
- Was she there?-Huh?
Look at your eyes widening!
If I weren't there, you wouldhave married her right?
Tell me frankly.This heart can take it all.
I love you darling!
OHHH! Wow!
Your words filled my ears andwent straight to my heart.
Selvi!
Are you ok?
DEAR!
Father!
Oh no. Don't get out, Father.
Selva...!
S..elva...!
OH, NO!
'Oh no, Selva brother.'

I let my son die!
My Sister, the God that fed me!
How did I let you die?
How did I let the guardianof this house die?

You question themand they kill you?
That is just fascism.

Don't get too emotional Madam.
You don't get to decide ifthis will happen or not.
Do only what you came here for.
Don't say unnecessary things.
What the hell are you talking?You will lose your respect...
- What happened?- Hey Perumalsamy...
You are the onetalking unnecessarily.
Go tell Hari Daada. Thisproject will not happen.

There is no money for it.

Come Kaala. Come!
Come.
Come in.
Sit.
I wanted to kill you, actually.
Things went wrong.
Mistake wasn't mine, but God's.
Your wife and son...
I am sorry!
Please, forgive me.
Sit!
Please!
(clock chimes)
Mangal dear, get some water.
'Yes grandfather.'

Huh?
No dear!
Namaste is enough.
Namaste!
Sweet girl!
(whispers)Grandfather!
He seems to bea very nice person.
Don't kill him.
Go!
She says that...
...you are a very nice person.
"Don't kill him!"
Why would I kill you, ifyou don't get in my way?
You can't kill me.
Because...
...I am KAALA!
God of Death!
King 'Yama'!
Let's see...
...who the God of Death is?
KAALA...
What sort of a name is this man?
It disgusts me when I say it!
This black colour...
...is ugly to look at.
Irritates my eyes.
White is pure!
Black is impure!
Irritates you, is it?
What an ugly thought!
The problem is in your perception.
Black...
...is the colourof the Proletariat.
Come see in my chawls.
Dust scatters into a rainbow.
Hygiene, clean and pure.
These are your masks.
What do you actually want?
Land?
It was in someone's name yesterdayand will change hands tomorrow.
When you die the six feetwill not be yours permanently.
Why are you so maniacal?
Tell me something new.
I know very well thateverything will be right here.
I can't take anythingup there with me.
Six feet land is all I get.
Nothing is permanent.
Lord Krishna has spoken in my ear.I am not unaware of all this.
Let that land, even ifit's for two days...
...be in my name andI will be happy.
Do you have any problem?
Yes I do!
To you, land is power.
To us it means life.
Get it?
And power is my life.
Power is what I live for!
If I throw stones atevery dog on the road...
...I will never reachmy destination.
I am using my powerfor good things.
If you think it's wrongIt's your problem.
Anybody who opposes me...
...will die.
'Arjuna' stood confused in the war-front.What the Lord did that day...
...is what thisHari is doing today.
If stealing my land isyour Dharma and your God's Dharma...
...I won't spare even your God.
I made a small mistake.
Your wife and sondied because of me.
I feel guilty about it...
...that's why I letyou into my house.
What right do you haveto sit in front of me?
You must know who you are.
I don't like toremind you constantly.
Throw your pride aside...
...come apologise to me.
Just two feet, putan end to this.
Come.
The distance is the same.
Touch my feet.
I will decide if I wantto punish or forgive you.
Hold on!
I didn't come here to fight.
You mustn't think thatmy loss has shattered me.
You might have power.
But I have thousands of people asmy support, family and companions.
You can't do anything in Dharavi.I am here all alone to say exactly that!
Hear me out Hari...
God's wish!
Kaala's Promise!
I won't spare you!
Stab me in the back, if you will.
Grandfather!
Thanks for not killing him.
Nice person!
Go! Get in!
What?
That's how it will be!
Whom should we ask?
Whom should we ask for permission? You mind your own business.
We don't need torture. Stay aside.
Did you tell everyoneto come fetch water?
One by one.
Patience!
Yes girl. Have you taken it?
Patience!
Perumalsamy, what are you doing?
What is this nonsense?
Why are you doing this?
We don't need this? Who askedyou to issues tokens?
- Whom did you ask for the token? - You can't do this in here.
- Why are you here- Don't we know what we want? Leave!
'No one will leave this place.''Get out of here.'
'Who are you to evict us?'
HEY...!
Who cut the electricity?
Huh?
If you shut the electricityyou think we'll get scared, is it?
'All he does is this nonsense.'
My body is a power hub!
Hey you all... Come stand in a queue!
Take as much electricity.
'Here comes the electricity plant'
I can supply power tothe whole of Dharavi!
Grandfather, isn't yourname Karikaalan?
That's right...
Why grandfather?
Why don't you have a modern name?Such an old name, grandfather!
Sweetie, it is aclassic Tamil name!
Oh!
Grandfather, why do theycall you KAALA?
Grandfather is dark skinned right.That's why he is called that.
Hey, that also...
Remember our villagefestival every year?
Grandfather has been giventhat God's name.
KAALA...
...according to ourpeople is our savior.
Grandfather, are you a gangster?
No he is a rowdy!
Earlier, when you questioned abad guy you were called a rowdy!
Now it has all changed!
When someone is unjust toyou and you hit back...
...they brand you as rowdies.
My father raised questions,and they killed him.
I had a mad determinationto avenge his death.
The blind rage wastaking me nowhere.
Selvi made me realise this!
You are scared ofSelvi grandmother, right?
So scared!
She is my god, sweetheart.
My guardian angel!
The people who killedSelvam father and Selvi grandmother...
...will kill us too. My friendswere talking about it.
But I said...
"We are Kaala's grandchildrenNobody can harm us."
Shut up! Is this how you talk?
Why are you chiding them?
They are just...
Listen to me, my darlings.
You have to becompassionate, always.
Let all this end with me.
That...
That's why I lost my Selvi...
...my Captain Selvam.
Damn that drink!
If I wasn't drunk that day...
...I wouldn't havelost them both.
If you keep mourning the dead,who will think of the living?
Aims and ambitions!
Selvam didn't know any of that.
"I will die for my father"he would say.
'That is all he wanted.'
It is painful, yes!
But we should losenothing anymore.
NOTHING!
We will stand by you.
That's right. Wemustn’t lose anything.
We will support you. All of us will!
Uncle, please get up.
Kids haven't eaten as well.
Come let's have dinner.
