KOLANGAL
Abhi in court. Usual taunts by Tillai. Tillai is confident that all will turn in his bosses' favor, and calls Adi to report. Abhi is disappointed that her mother hasn't come. Anandhi tactfully lets her know that her mother doesn't believe she's going to get bail. They have on their side (my observation) a lawyer who appears to have an IQ lower than the director's (that's saying something). Trial begins. Imagine this. Three goondas (Mari group) confess to killing two people, Prabu and who they thought was Upendra. The fact that Upendra showed up in court was dismissed as saying they only thought Prabu's companion was Upendra. How is Abhi involved? She paid us and instructed us to kill them, they say. Where is the proof? No one asks. The judge slinks away and returns with a judgement in time for a commercial. When he returns, he mournfully signs the last page of the papers before him, and says...

There is a fresh piece of evidence that hasn't been considered...

SELVI
The kid Kaveri announces that tomorrow is her birthday. Everyone else has forgotten it (of course, if you show up suddenly after five years, that's bound to happen). What does she want? You wait, knowing the hackneyed demand of a zillion children in a zillion movies is right around the corner -- I want my dad. The hug, the tears. Next scene. Selvi is taking Kaveri around to a large clothing store. There are more security guys than clothes. Anyhow, they finish buying up the store and just as they are about to board an auto, Selvi looks around for her daughter, and she is nowhere to be found.
