Vishal in Irumbu Thirai (2018)

Quotes

Irumbu Thirai

Edit
  • Major R. Kathiravan: [to his father] You haven't been a good father to me. Neither have I been a model son to you. But I could've been the perfect brother to Selvi, right?
  • Major R. Kathiravan: Sir, I don't understand this. Army officers don't have a passport. Neither do they have proper ration cards. If we come to you for help, you'll deny us a loan. Then whom do we turn to for help, sir?
  • Sathyamoorthy: The war waged before this was weapon war. After that was bio war. Now, it is cyber war.
  • Sathyamoorthy: Information is power. For a person who knows to use data properly, it isn't mere information; it's a weapon!
  • Major R. Kathiravan: [when his father asks if they could borrow 1 million from another bank] Why just one million? Why not 3 million? We can even borrow 5 million.
  • [angrily taunts]
  • Major R. Kathiravan: You don't have an iota of disgrace, dismay, shame, sensitivity or even dignity. You don't even have any intention of returning the loan. But I want to return that money. You are ready to ask anyone shamelessly. By borrowing from anyone and everyone like this, you ruined my life! You will happily borrow, but when the creditor turns up you will go in and hide, otherwise you'll bow your head in shame. I told you right then, let us not get into this mess! It's all because of you that I've been pushed into a corner to borrow by forging a document. That police officer branded me a fraud! I've suffered a lot because of you. But today, I was humiliated. Finally you have made me bow my head also in shame like you. You borrowed nonstop and killed my mother. Now you are killing me. Next you will kill my sister too. But you be happy borrowing all the time. Clear out!
  • [waits]
  • Major R. Kathiravan: Appa, I'm scared I'll bash you up. Go away, pa. GET LOST!
  • Sathyamoorthy: [to Kathir] Think about the consequences, my boy.
  • Sathyamoorthy: [to Kathir] According to me, you're after all just a number. No problem as long as you remain a number. If you intend becoming a face...
  • Sathyamoorthy: [to Kathir] If a robber is stung by a scorpion, he has to bear the pain in silence. All of you are robbers. I'm the scorpion. If I sting, you should zip your lips!
  • Sathyamoorthy: [to Kathir] Do you intend shooting me?
  • [smiles]
  • Sathyamoorthy: Even if you kill me, I have no family to shed a tear for me. Are you wondering why a solitary man is amassing so much money? Do you want to know why I am conning so many people? Because I can do so.
  • Dr. Rathi Devi: [to Kathir] Your problem isn't what you see but how you perceive it.
  • Major R. Kathiravan: From politicians to jobless jerks, it's corruption, jealousy and arbitration. How is it possible NOT to get angry?
  • Major R. Kathiravan: [to the villain] Your account is hacked. Ha-ha-ha.
  • Major R. Kathiravan: Where is my money?
  • Dr. Rathi Devi: [to Kathir] You've already entered. Then why ask me for permission?
  • Major R. Kathiravan: [to Rathi Devi] I've been playing rugby right from my childhood. Entire violence enmasse entered my body. And that changed into anger. I'm unable to control it.
  • Major R. Kathiravan: [to Rathi Devi] Have you ever borrowed 1000 bucks from anyone? When he lends money, even if he's a friend, he will part with it as if it's his life. Do you know how painful it can be? Only money takes pride of place. Even if a pauper recharges for just Rs. 10, he is taxed Rs. 4. If a wealthy mans tops up his phone, he gets full talk time. That's the present state of our country. Atrocious attitude of the money lender, the disgrace a borrower faces: this is what bothers me. Only if you've borrowed you'll understand that anguish. Because of my father, our family also experienced that pain.
  • Major R. Kathiravan: Somehow I feel I made a mistake, uncle.
  • Major R. Kathiravan: They invade our privacy, and target us knowing our desperate need. They buy details of so many like this.
  • Major R. Kathiravan: Let me tell you something about our military. We shoot at sight. Only after the postmortem we inquire about your identity.
  • Major R. Kathiravan: [to his father] For how many years more will you keep lying?
