kamal is doing.

kamal keeping a similar bag in the upstair corridor of a shopping mall.Then he is waiting for the train in chennai central station.And the train comes. He boards the
train and keeps a black bag in the side upper birth of a compartment . Inspector Sethu is coming with his wife and kid and telling kamal to leave the way.Kamal is leaving
that place.Then sethu after chatting with wife (Anu) leaves the train.

After giving his address and signing the complaint he asks inspector Venkatesan the way to toilet.He goes to the toilet and places the black bag in the gap beneath
the wash basin.
Venue : Police Commissioner Raghavan Maran's ( Mohanlal is the commissioner ) office.Film actor Aravindan (Sriman ) meets the commissioner and gives a complaint
that he needs Z security because somebody is threating to kill him.If it is not possible he will go the chief minister.Then mohanlal calls policeman Sethu to come

Kamal is buying vegetables in the market while a TV on the shop shows the programme 'Pradiyum Bimbamum' hosted by the anchor named Natasha in TV1 channel.
Topic is 'Pakistan and Terrorism'. The scene shows two dolls General Musharaf and American president George Bush. Musharaf calls bush and expresses his grief
for the 9/11 bomb blasts .Bush says "What are you blabbering in the midnight of 10th september?. Then Mushraf says "Oh.Sorry.I am confused with this time difference.
I should call you tomorrow".
Mohanlal introduces inspector Sethu to Aravindan and says he will handle matter.The next scene shows Inspector Arif ( The guy who paired with Trisha in the film
'Abhiyum Nanum' ) having a chat with a criminal turned to a police informer. Criminal says he has no protection and the constables who has come as a security to his
house is eve teasing his sister.
Kamal is going with his vegetable bags to the top roof of a building under construction while Inspector Arif goes to the police informer's house and beats the constable there.
Kamal is arranging his laptop, 5 mobile phones,landline phone etc and calls the commissioner Maran and says"I have planted 5 bombs in the city and it will explode by 6 pm.
The bombs are more powerful than the blasts happened previously in Meenambakkam Airport and Sriperumbudhur. I will again call back after 30 minutes.By the time you
choose a negotiator for talking with me and hereafter i will talk only with that person".Maran tells inspector Sankarayya to trace the call and asks inspector Sethu to make a
call to the Chief Minister.
Kamal calls the TV anchor Natasha and says " I have a sensational news for you.It can be even news of the year.If you want that news,go immediately with your cameraman in
Annasalai.This is a live show and it will be the memorable day in your career."Natasha goes to the police station and waits outside.
As Chief Minister's PA says he has just come from election campaign and very tried, Maran talks to the Chief Secretary Lakshmi and requests her to come to his office immediately
as the situation is very critical.Maran's team has found that the call came from a prepaid SIM card with the name 'Thayumanavar'.He organises a meeting with this team members
and lakshmi and says about the call he got while lakshmi says it should be a blank call.At the same time maran's mobile rings.Kamal asks "Who is the negotiator"? Maran says
"We have yet to decide.Talk with me till that time". Kamal says "Don't waste my time.I will again call in another 5 minutes.Negotiator should be decided by that time".
Inspector Sankarayya says he could not trace this call also as it was of short duration but it was not the same number as the first. CM calls lakshmi and enquires about the
situation and gives full power to her for dealing with that.As she is not ready to take the blame if something went wrong,Maran says he will take the responsiblity
but there should not be any interference in his work.
Third call is coming from kamal to maran. Kamal demands the release of four prisoners namely Ahmadullah,Iniyakdhullah,Abdhullah and Karamchand lalla.He says that he
knows three of these are in chennai jails and one in bangalore. He wants all the four in a single place in another 1 hour's time.Otherwise evening will come and bombs will blast.
Maran tells kamal that you don't even have a name.Kamal says "Your intelligence would have traced the SIM cards by the time.Anyway i will explain myself. First call
i gave is from the name 'Thayumanavar' who died in coimbator bomb blast. Second call had the name 'Yashwant kunatkar 'who died in mumbai bomb blast.Third call had
the name 'Asha Bharva' who died in Guwahati.She was pregnant at that time." He also says that 3 kg of RDX bomb was placed in the Annasalai police station and is
going to blast in another 20 minutes and hangs up.
Kamal calls natasha and tells her about the bomb placed in the police station. She sees lot of policeman and police dogs going into the anna salai police station. With the help
of the dog bomb squad found the bomb. Sethu calls maran that the bomb is going to blast in another 3 minutes and he is not sure whether it can be diffused or not.Kamal calls
maran and tells "Are you believing me now that iam not making any joke.If you want i can tell the way to diffuse the bomb?".Maran says ok and kamal says the way and the
bomb is diffused.An inspector comes and tells maran that he has arrested a person who had supplied 6 kg of RDX couple of days ago.But he is not talking and has ate
cocaine also.A doctor puts injection to that person and says drug effect will go in another 30 minutes.Maran calls Arif to come to office within half an hour while Natasha
reports to the TV about the happenings in the police station.
The arrested person tells Arif that he has given the RDX to a person named Rafique Inspector sankarayya explains the histroy of the four prisoners to maran's team and
Lakshmi and says if these people are released then there is no meaning for the efforts we have taken so far as these people are very dangerous.
Maran calls natasha and asks about the calls she got from kamal.He explains that she is used as a tool by kamal for monitoring the actions taken for this demands.Maran
tells sethu to give a statement for Natasha's TV channel about the shifting of the prisoners without disclosing the truth and saying that they are going to be shifted for
security reasons.Arif got the information from rafique that he has given RDX to a middle aged person behind a building under construction near Rajaratnam stadium,
Egmore. He searches that building but could not locate kamal even though kamal sees Arif. Arif informs maran that there is nobody in that building and maran immediately
tells sethu to assemble the prisoners in Puzhal prison. And the " Intermission" comes at this point.
CM calls lakshmi and asks about further proceedings and says that this should not affect election results. This scene depicts the nature of our politicians who always
cares about themselves and their victory. Natasha reports that the prisoners are shifted to a undisclosed location.After seeing this kamal calls maran and thanks him for
shifting the prisoners and says "Take all the prisoners and come to the old Sozhavaram airport at 5 pm with two police men for their security.Also i need two cell phones
with speaker and teleconferencing facility.Leave them at one corner of the airport and ask your policeman at the corner.I need a lot of landing space. I will call you
again by 5 pm".
Sankarayya tells maran that he could not locate the call as it is going to different countries.So he could be a communication specialist.Inspector venkatesan meets maran and tells
about the conversation between him and kamal.Maran tells sethu to bring a computer specialist and draw the picture of kamal with the help of the inspector and then show the
picture to rafique who has supplied the RDX to him.
Kamal calls natasha and asks her to come to Sozhavaram old Airport.Maran explains Arif and Sethu about the plan for taking the prisoners to airport and says that chennai is in
your hand.Arif and sethu along with the four prisoners boards in a millitary container lorry.Sankarayya brings an intelligent IIT dropped out student for tracing the call from kamal.
Meanwhile the computer specialist draws the picture of kamal and confirms it with rafique.
Arif calls maran and says they have reached the venuce. Kamal calls maran and says that he wants to talk with the four prisoners . Kamal asks all of them to tell their names
for confirmation. Then he tells arif to shift the prisoners to the jeep standing in the other side and says that the prisoners should sit in the following order.
Driver seat : Inayadhulla,Ahmedullah (next to driver seat) and other two on back.He also tells arif to go to commissioner's office after shifting them.Kamal tells maran after
arif reaches office he will the places where bomb is kept.Kamal tells to Inayadhulla "I know you are a good driver.Key and mobile are in the jeep.As soon as you start the jeep
a call will come to you and tell where to go.
In commissioner's office,the IIT guy says that this is a local call and he can find out the location exactly if it comes one more time while in the aerodrum arif and Sethu along
with the four prisoners are going towards the jeep.Suddenly arif catches Abdullah and says that let the other go.He won't leave him till the bombs are found.Sethu argues
with him to release . But arif declines. Abdullah is arguing with arif to release him Rest of the three boarded the jeep and as inayadullah puts the key and starts, the phone rings.
Karamchand takes the phone after searching and says hello.
The unexpected thing happens here. Jeep blasts to pieces.Kamal calls maran and tells him "Ask Arif what happened there.I want to know".Arif says that "Jeep is blown.His
plan is to kill the prisoners and not to save them .But abdullah is alive".Kamal is slightly shocked and says arif that he had done wrong thing and abdhullah also should be killed.
Then only he will tell about the bomb.At this point kamal explains why he did all this. He says he is a common man and it took only four weeks for him to make this plan.
He says terrorism can be eradicated only by terrorism.He says that reporter natasha should go to the place along with an ambulance and doctor.And the doctor should confirm that
abdullah is dead.Then only he will about the bomb.Maran orders arif to shoot his head.After hearing the conversation between maran and kamal the IIT guy though he found out
the location says he could not find and the inspector venkatesan says he could not recollect fully the face of kamal.
Natasha reports that while the policemen were shifting,the prisoners were trying to escape and shooted arif.So they were killed for self protection.Maran changes from his police
dress to casuals,took his gun and leaves the office. After seeing natasha's report kamal calls maran and tells that he had not kept any bomb. All are empty bags.Kamal packs
everything , puts the bag in a drum and keeps a bomb to destroy the things.Meanwhile maran reaches the place and sees kamal coming out of the building and offering lift to
him if he wants.
The last scene of the film heads to the same place where it had started. Yes.. Maran walking in the beach. He says "I don't have the courage and anger of the common man.
This should happen.Hats off to him".
My comments about the film: The film was very good with sharp dialogues in many places. The scene that stayed in my mind is the one in climax. Kamal says nowadays
making bomb is not difficult.Type how to make a bomb in search engine.You will find many websites telling that.Out of interest after seeing the film i just typed how to
make a bomb in google. Yes...it returned many results indicating that technology is also spoiling people.
