When the film resumes those "20 years later" we find that Kodi has just been promoted by the "Green and Gold" Party as the "Regional Head" of its "Youth Wing." Anbu, on the other hand, has gotten a job as a mathematics instructor at the local university.īoth would basically live rather "small" yet _happy_ lives if. Growing-up in precarity, both sons nonetheless were educated. The two young sons Kodi and Anbu (both played by the Tamil actor Dhanush ) had grown up, though the two had taken very different paths: Kodi, whose name apparently meant "Flag" had therefore pursued a life of political action seeking to in effect "partly redeem" (and perhaps even "avenge") his father's death (to make it mean something), while Anbu stayed closer to his mother (played by Saranya Ponvannan ) who was angered to current day at her husband for having so pointlessly left her a widow to raise two young sons in poverty. This poor / sincere father WITH A WIFE AND TWO YOUNG SONS, was NOT going to "just go home as well." Now the Politician was packing-up to go home after hardly exerting himself at all. The Politician had promised that they would "fight to the death" to close the factory. So the father PICKS UP A CAN OF KEROSENE, pours it on himself and sets himself on fire in protest.
The father of the two sons, himself, again mute (perhaps as a result of some kind of poisoning in his family's past), can not let himself "just go home" like that. However, to the father's dismay, as soon as the Politician appeared to believe that there were enough photographs taken of him and his Party "protesting in front of the factory," the Politician called the rally-off, saying "their work was done" and began sending the gathered (Party) protesters home. Touched by the vow of a local politician that he and his Party (colors green and gold) would "fight to the death" to close a local factory which was poisoning its workers with mercury, the father takes his sons to a Party rally in front of said factory.
The film is about two sons, twins, of a humble "sound-man" (played by the Tamil actor Karuunas ), who would help set-up the microphones at political rallies (though, poignantly and perhaps at least in part symbolically, HE HIMSELF WAS "MUTE").
It's a political thriller, which while having its action / comedic elements is really a _scathing denunciation_ of _systemic_ political corruption in Tamil? / Indian? politics today. Durai Senthilkumar ) is a Indian (Tamil) film that opened both in India and across the world for India's Diwali holiday weekend.
