MONDAY 3rd May 2010 Archives' copy
TA's cautious persuasion to convince Vel pays off & finally truce established between two.Both shake hands & confirm friendship. To further strengthen his truce treaty TA gives his visiting card to Vel ,promising to help whenever needed. LOL the card happens to be that of a Biriyani shop [ha ha velukku aapu halwaku badil hot spicy biriyani doi ].TA excuses his over enthusiasm for the blunder , hands his original card & extends his advance wishes for a long happy married life as he would not be able to attend due to his engagement on the same day [alibi established] & leaves.. Oru AANava siruppu at the corner of Vel's lips.
Outside TA explains to his friend the reason for this samadhana udanpadikkai.... to divert Vel's attention from him when they carry out their operation abduction. The friend expresses his fear, but TA pooh pooh it.
Patti pondering over pethi's plight...just 2 days left for the wedding. Patti is all in tears... angry at Tulasi not being bold...worried about her future at Vel's hands. Tulasi Budha has the same standard replies .... not to go against father's wishes...disprove his view of her being like her mother...she has proved this point by agreeing to marry vel... decides to face life stoically ,accept her destiny blindly. Illustrates the innumerable humiliations she faced not only at home, even outside. Flashbacks of schooldays when students mock at her when she struggled to write an essay on the topic " Mother". A male student misbehaving with her...Odi poi kalayanam dhan kattikkalama ,kalyanamdhan kattikkittu Odi polama [ srima sings]. Deepa enters the scene & gives the boy a palaar. Advice galore by Deepa [ Hmm enna prayojanam...sevidan kadhila oodhina sangudhan].Says...Pongi ezhu penne , use your hands & nails to teach such rowdies a lesson...these words of Mahathma Gandhi are for practising not for just memorising for the sake of exams. Throw your guilty feelings about your mother to the winds & reincarnate as Barathi kanda pudhumai peNN.[Deepaku thondai thaNNi vathinadhudhan micham , our thyagasudar remains the same].On the contrary Tulasi becomes more philosophical about life. Advices patti. Quotes Kannadasan , prepares self to walk along holding Vidhi's [fate] fingers. Irritated & upset patti shouts back that God has the power to change the so called Vidhi even at the last minute, keeps her fingers crossed for some miracle.
MM/ Padma clan all set to go for Pandak kaal function.Vel's car arrive to take them. All nicely decked , wardrobe courtesy Vel, Mohan flaunts his branded dress , Oppukaga MM asks patti to accompany them..patti refuses. All drive away in the Osi car.
Patti Tulasi left alone in the house.Patti expresses her firm belief that "he" will definitely stop this wedding. Tulasi wonders at the repeated use of "he" & wants to know who that "he" is & patti's fingers point at Lord Muruga.

Patti faints complaining chest pain & becomes unconscious [ is she pretending?], Thulasi wailing , MM panics , Padma , Tilaka irritated , commotion all around. Tilaka exhibits her displeasure in harsh words much to Tulasi's anguish who gives her a Badrakali look. Unaware of all these, Vel happily having his foreign water beating party. Information reaches him ,little effect on him , leisurely finishes his peg before attending to the matter.. Vel dials for an ambulance , in the mean time makes scathing remarks " kizhavi sethu ponalum parava illai. Can keep the body in the hospital for two days & do the rites later after the marriage &[ most imp ] shanthi muhurtham,much to Tulasi's annoyance. Shattered Tulasi loses her cool , shouts at vel...." nothing will happen to my patti . She will not leave me". Vel gets to taste Tulasi's wrath for the first time & is startled at her bold outburst. Ambulance arrive , patti is wheeled in to it. Vel wants only his henchmen to accompany patti. But Tulasi insists on going , Vel refuses permission. Dormant volcano inside Tulasi erupts .Second rude shock awaits Vel....Tulasi boldly looks in to his eyes & declares , " i will not be alive to take your thali if denied permission". Tilaka frets & fumes. Vel left with no choice, manasoda grants permission , decides to escort her. Tilaka rules it out citing some custom. Finally Vel sends two of his henchmen to accompany them , mainly to keep an eye on Tulasi. Vel stops Deepa & Kalyani from accompanying Tulasi. [ Hostages ]
Camera focuses TA & group waiting for somebody. Then it moves to show the ambulance...patti lying still & Tulasi crying. The scene then shifts to marriage hall. Very tense atmosphere here, MM worried about mom's condition, padma irritated with the kizhavi's last minute tantrums , Vel restless with the delay. Vel asks his man to find the whereabouts of the ambulance. At the same time an ambulance enter the hall. Vel's eyes eagerly look for Tulasi. Much to his annoyance the ambulance boys alight with the stretcher & apologise for their delay . Livid Vel doles out some abuse & drives them out. Adi patta puli Vel storms towards Deepa / Kalyani ,catch hold of them by their neck, accuses them of conspiring , demands to know Tulasi's whereabouts . Unable to extract any useful information from them , his anger turns towards MM. Feels cheated , finally issues a fatwa ...Hall [house] arrest for all & sundry . None can step out till Tulasi's return. Entrust the security duty to his men , failing which they will face the music. Orders his chief adiaal Jayaraj to track the substitute ambulance immediately & bring back Tulasi.
While Vel's cronies are in the thedal padalam , inside the ambulance patti is still lying motionless &Tulasi crying. Unable to bear Tulasi's incessant crying patti decides to end her drama. Suddenly sits up & laughs , says enacted the drama to save Tulasi. Tulasi gets upset & worried, insists on getting back to the hall . The henchmen also shout at patti & instruct the driver to drive back to the hall. Now the climax. The ambulance boys pounce on Vel's henchmen with tranquilized hanky , make them unconscious , & push them out of the ambulance . While henchmen are pushed out , TA & party push themselves in to the ambulance. Seeing them Tulasi screams & tries to jump out of the moving vehicle. She too was given tranquilizer treatment by TA who orders the driver Joseph to take them all to his [ joseph's ] house. Vel's search party [ I think so ] see the 2 gundus lying on the road ,pick them up & leave.
