Sarvam Thaala Mayam (சர்வம் தாளமயம்)

I am Peter Johnson.

I live in Madras. Sorry, I mean, Chennai.

This is the Anna International Airport.

An airport named after a screenwriter. This can only happen in Chennai.

He played the role of a chief minister, as well.

After him five more film veterans went on to become chief ministers.

Why? Because our city is crazy about the movies.

So am I!

I'm an ardent fan of superstar Vijay!

This is Johnson. My father.

He is crazy about music!

His life revolves around the mridanga.

My mother runs a soup store. She's always worried about something.

Do you know what's her worry right now? My exams!

Wherever you are, I will accept you.

For I am the Lord your God... I am the Almighty.

I am the good shepherd.

O dear Lord, who protects the poor...

please ensure that my son, Peter passes his exams successfully.

Thank you, my Lord.

Hey Theresa, how about asking for a grade A performance in the exams?

O dear Lord, make sure Peter achieves a grade A.

Yes, the call is on, right? The Lord can still hear you.

While you're at it, ask for the state's first gold medal!

Mocking me, are you?

Please forgive these sinners, my lord.

I pray that he becomes a government officer.

So that he can bribe his mother with a lot of money!

Your prayers will be answered, Theresa.

The devout Johnson's family will always have the Lord's blessings.

Take this blessed pen.

Why does it look like this!

Tell them to fix it!

What brings you here, Peter?

-He's here to ogle at girls, right? -As if both of you are here to pray!

-We pray only to one God. Check this out! -Check this out!

Get a load of this!

-You too! -Isn't it cool!

When did you get it? I would have done it, as well!

-You're a crappy fan! -We're the true fans!

Look! We're putting up banners in every nook and corner.

His film's out, man!

Wasn't it delayed by a month?

The IPL is about to start. So, it's releasing soon.

-When? -On the fourteenth!

On the fourteenth! Great!

Oh crap! I have an Accountancy exam that day!

Let's go for the night show.

No way! We always go on the first day for the first show!

You useless oaf! Try moving out of the house and I'll break your legs!

Hey... come here.

If he has friends like you, he doesn't need enemies!

You are always hanging around with some poster!

Now you have come to the church, as well?

Get lost!

JOHNSON

Wait! Here's the exam hall ticket!

Do well in the exam.

The whistle echoes! The eardrums explode!

The long dormant valor springs awake, Shining bright!

Even if I stare at you For just two hours

The joy in two births leaps within!

Only for this day does every soul

Etch your image in their heart!

Tattooing your image, Garlanding your reflection

You appear as God on a pedestal!

The mere sight of you, Sets our hearts on fire!

Hey Peter! Crank up the beat!

Strike them out, Peter! Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!

The whistle echoes! The eardrums explode!

The mischief simmers! The heart soars!

And show off our swagger, No matter if a patrol happens by!

We will dance wild, No matter if there's a holy parade!

And will kick the hell out of anyone, Who dares to even stare at us!

We know not of curtailment! Only celebration!

A crowd of adorable savages, We shout out for you to hear!

Hey Peter! Crank up the beat!

Strike them out, Peter! Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!

Hey Peter! Who is this guy?

He is a star with no power.

Hey bro...

These guys are ripping our boss's poster!

Here's your tea, guys!

Run, bro!

-Come on! -Hurry!

That's it, buddy! Get in!

Start driving, bro!

He's bleeding, bro!

We can't do anything about it now!

It is a police case!

Some nurses live near my house. They can handle it.

-It hurts! -Just hold on!

-Oh God... -Hey...

Greetings!

-What is it, sir? -We need a small favor.

Didn't we pay the rent at the end of last month?

Don't worry, madam.

It's a small accident.

He fell off the roof.

He's a good kid. He's drunk. That's it.

Well...

Look at this, Sara.

He's hurt and bleeding.

-Please help him out. -He's lost a lot of blood.

Hypovolemia.

He just needs a little help.

Go and get the first aid box.

It really hurts, man!

-Hold on. Almost done! -Do something!

Pray to Vijay!

Think about something else.

Sing your favorite song!

Hey Hari! Sing!

For I am Bhupathy, king of the streets!

The king of love, I am too!

Blood seeps within!

My desires overpower me, Thanks to you!

You're a Vijay fan, too?

All done.

Let's go, Peter.

I can see that you're following me. But, why?

You stitched my wound the other day, right?

I was mesmerized!

Every night, I see you in my dreams.

Like an angel.

Which film is that dialogue from?

Listen to me.

Your life is different. My life is different.

I need to go to Germany. Hence, I'm attending this class.

Do something worthwhile. Don't waste your time.

I'm not jobless!

Look me up at the fan club.

We run blood donation and social service camps in the area!

I play the drums when Vijay's films are released.

So, you celebrate only two days in the year!

What will you do on the other 363 days, Peter?

I will learn German with you!

Will you follow me around like the Vodafone pug?

No. I'll accompany you like a German Shepherd.

So, are you going to be a dog?

Listen to me, Peter.

Instead of following me, or your idol Vijay...

make your life worthwhile.

25 rupees for one bowl of soup.

Sure.

-Everywhere else, it costs twenty rupees. -Don't make a big deal over five bucks!

-Come on. -Okay.

Why are you so quiet?

What about the exam results?

What will I do with this! Please read it!

60 marks in Economics.

58 marks in English.

-That's pretty good! -Keep listening!

64 marks in Business Communication.

-Five marks! -What the hell!

What went wrong in the Accountancy exam?

You studied hard, didn't you?

I even stayed up all night to serve you tea!

Can you send that paper for re-evaluation?

Is there anything to evaluate?

I should've known that!

Your lazy friends have lured you

-to join them in booze and dance! -Mom.

My music makes people happy and I like it!

-All of them respect me. -Will they give you food?

O dear Lord!

I thought he would pass in the exams and this struggle would end...

Stop it!

Yelling isn't good for your health! Let it go. The re-exam is in September!

If I let it go, he'll end up tapping that damn thing all his life. Just like you.

This isn't tapping. It's preserving a tradition.

That's why they gave me the Kalaimamani Award!

Whatever! Did they give you money?

Do you get any pension?

What's the use of that award!

This family would die of hunger, if I didn't have my soup store.
