TUESDAY 11.5.2010
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.

THURSDAY DATED 13.05.2010
Vel threatens to kill MM if not permitted to tie the knot on Pavithra's neck. Padma opens her Netri KaNN at MM & throws an angry look at Vel & declares " I don't care for my thali , but will never let you [vel] tie one on my daughter's neck. My daughter's life & well being is more important than anything else.[ MM mugathil coal poosu. ] Thus saying Padma tries to kambi neetufy from there. Poor Padma under estimates Vel. Vel enna muttaLa. His men promptly close the door . Padma's escapade attempt sabotaged. He anger now shifts to MM, scoffs at his spineless nature [ neethane adhukku kaaranam] , accuse & abuse him for standing like a tree while his wife & daughter are being manhandled by strangers. Decides not to depend on her useless husband to save them. Screams for help from sonny boy. Yells MOHANNNNNNNNNNNN .[The whole hall , even our house, vibrates at her screams] Sozzled Mohan was brought supported by 2 men , couldn,t even stand steadily. Seeing him Padma gets the shock of her life , her hopes crumbles like a pack of cards .Like a tigress charges towards him....palar palar palar & starts the oppari & curses....dei rascal engendhu da indha pazhakkam vandhadhu , nee uyiroda iruppadai vida sethup povadhe mel , sethu tholai . [Ezhdha enakku kai koosaradhu ]Enough is enough. Vel could take no more of this hysterical outburst [ neither could we the viewers ]. Shuts her up with rude remarks & orders his men to lock them up in a room , including Deepa/ Kalyani. Padma / Pavi enter the room first. Padma slams the door before others could enter. Another drama , another round of oppari ,MM & others keep knocking the door & asking her to open,while Padma has a different plan....to end hers & Pavi's life... better to do Karyam than Kalyanam. Takes the new blue coloured pattu saree of Tulasi & starts the preparation for hanging operation.
Pavithra panics , runs & opens the door & take shelter behind Deepa scared of mom.All are pushed inside the room & door locked. Padma's anger still not doused , restarts her archanai , blames MM for all the happening & polabufy hysterically for spoiling her daughter's future dreams & aspirations. Deepa who has been watching all these with a squirm on her lips ,slowly starts her lecture.......uncle now you must have realized Vel's nature & to this wretched man you wanted to marry off Tulasi all for the sake of few thousands of Rupees . You never cared for her aspirations & dreams about which your wife is talking now. Even she had lot expectation about her life. If only had you some love for Tulasi or considered her as your daughter you would have thought twice before accepting Vel's alliance. Now you are reaping the fruits of your actions. You are the perfect example for the saying "thun vinai thunnai sudum ". "Mur pagal seyyin pir pagal viLayum" is obsolete in this computer age. These days you will face your punishments immediately & you are experiencing the same.👏Glum MM is speechless.
Tulasi still sleeping with worried patti sitting by her side. TA walk practising. No sight of Anand. His friends lose their patience decide to go in search of him....one goes to his work place [police station ] the other to his house. TA tries to defend Anand , wants to wait for some more time.But his friends decide otherwise & leave. The first one reaches the police station & was informed that Anand has been on medical leave for the last 3 days. He immediately informs TA. AS usual TA assumes Anand has taken the leave for marriage & doesn't give much importance to the news.[ Just can't understand this character... He is in neck deep problems, but going much much overboard to help friends.I think this fellow is going to learn his lessons the hard way , going to dig his own grave.]
