01x19 - Episode 19

[bunniefuu]

I should have informed you
about this earlier.

But I was not aware that
Arjun would take it so personally.

Mithran, none of us looked for trouble.

They are the ones causing trouble.

We can handle them.

It is not that simple, Harshini.

He has nothing to lose.

We have a lot to lose.

He used the same technology
that I had faith in, to lock us out.

My company's shareholders
have been pressurizing me

by asking why I did
this album unnecessarily.

I do not know what to say.

Let's put aside this social media,
online marketing,

publicity and promotion
for the time being, Mithran.

There is an old method
that people know about.

Brother. What is this?

Our album, brother.

No, we do not need
any advance payment, brother.

You can pay us
as and when the CDs start to sell.

Brother, can you display the CD
on the counter

so that it is visible to your customers?

We do not sell local CDs here.

Try some other stores. Go!

You are disturbing me
while I'm in the middle of my work.

We do not buy those products.
You can try asking at other stores.

Do not waste my time, please.

Brother, the songs are very nice.

Please listen to it at least once.

We can't do business
based on your wishes. Leave.

Brother, you can take 50%
of the profits from the sale of the CDs.

Please, brother. Support us.

Why did you not release it online?

As it is, I am worried that
my existing CDs are not selling well.

Why do you indulge
in such unnecessary work?

What is One Music?

What is One Music?

What will happen
if you do not support local artists?

Okay, leave it and go.

Tell me, Sundar.

We received the copyright claim
for the single released by One Music.

We received a copyright claim that
we have copied a song from Pitch Perfect.

How is that possible, Mithran?

That is an original composition.

I know that, Harshini.

Arjun did this on purpose.

He has filed this case

to tarnish my name and your brand.

What can we do now?

We need to prove it and win the case.

But isn't that a long process?

How long will it take?

What happened?

They are claiming copyright stating
we stole Pitch Perfect's song, Dad.

You all left bragging you were going to
reach great heights what happened now?

The newspapers claim that you stole
someone else's song and released it.

Everyone is talking badly about us.

This is why I was so against it!

I said that all this was not necessary.

Did you listen to me?

You believed that jobless guy
and went ahead.

You deserve this and more!

The newspapers reported that we stole
Pitch Perfect's song and released it.

What are you saying?

Who called? Was that Dad?

What is this?

They have indicated our names.

Everyone desires to become famous.

Some people are greedy
to become famous, overnight.

I actually encourage youngsters a lot.

But I can't do it for such wrong deeds.

This is not called theft.

For those who do it
for the sake of fame and acclaim?

To deter them

and for future generations to know
of the consequences of such actions.

That is why I mentioned their names.

Actually, after I found out
that Mr. Mithran encouraged this,

I was very affected emotionally.

But Aaryan would not do
such a thing, dear.

Money, fame and acclaim?

Your passion is stuck in a tussle
between these things.

You will have a lot on your mind now.

But you know

what is true and what is false.

They do not.

At this point, if you internalize
what others are saying

You cannot be at peace.

At times, you might think there's
some truth in what they are saying.

But I am telling you today
what I said the other day.

Don't let your mind
be affected by good news.

And don't let your heart
be affected by bad news.

There is a board meeting at 5 p.m.

Dad is coming.

He is taking over the company from you.

Bala.

What have you all done?

TV, radio, newspapers and the Internet…

All the news is about you.

They have been writing
all sorts of rubbish about you!

A guy's been conducting an online
debate titled Online Music Piracy,

for the sake of ratings,
claiming it is a hot topic.

Bala, the situation is getting very bad.

Do you believe that all this is true?

Would I believe it?

But everyone else
believes that this is true.

They are trolling you in many pages.

Do you know how I feel when I see this?

Do you know anything about this?

I did not see it.

In fact, none of us saw anything.

We are not bothered about it.

What are you saying?

This is your future.

This is not about
whether you can make music or not.

Everyone will perceive you as a thief.

Would anyone employ you?

What will you do after this?

We did not do anything wrong, Malar.

We did not compete with anyone.

We did not intend to destroy anyone.

This will definitely not be our end.

We believe that.

Malar, would you do me a favor?

What?

A lot of problems
are occurring at the same time.

In the midst of all this

I am not able to handle
this "number" issue.

I do not have the time.

So?

I know that I should not ask you this.

But I do not know who else
to approach for help besides you, Malar.

Can you handle this account
for a short while?

I will teach you everything.

You can keep the commission.

I cannot drop this suddenly.

We do not know what is happening
with our band at the moment.

I will settle all that
and take this over from you.

Will you help me, please?

This is Arjun speaking.

Do you know that
I have started to dig a hole?

Do you wonder,
before you go to sleep at night,

"Why did I speak to him in such a manner?"

This is just the beginning.

There is more for you to see.

You thought that you could become big
by using the power of social media.

I am showing you how the same social media
can be used to destroy a person.

This is a tiny lesson for you.

Okay, I will give a final chance.

Come and fall at my feet
and seek forgiveness.

I will let you off.

But if you decide to oppose me,

I am ready for that as well.

What? Are you there?

Greetings. This is Aaryan speaking.

Can you win by committing atrocities?

Really?

I do not believe in that.

You appeared when a person
who worked tirelessly was rising.

Will he allow you to occupy his seat?

There is a power
which is mightier than everyone.

You are the one
who is not aware of that yet.

We are aware of it.

You will realize it real soon.

You will be afraid.

You will lose sleep at night
and will be constantly thinking.

Call me then.

We will talk.

Greetings, sir.
This is Nagamalia speaking.

I do not know why,
but only you can ignite emotions in me.

I don't know how you are able to do it.

We were all dejected.

But your call has given us a boost.

Thank you very much, sir.

If we win without a hurdle,

the game will not be interesting, right?

You have entered the arena.

Let's compete, sir. Let's clash!

We can't wait till the case ends.

By then, they will have
branded us as thieves.

We need to do something.

Shall we release, the rest
of the songs on the album, online?

Everyone knows that Mithran produced it.

They know that is the reason
the case is ongoing.

We will invite more trouble

if we release it online.

But before that, we need
to prove that this is our song.

In that case, we need to recreate this
in a place that everyone can see.

We need to sing it on the streets.

People need to listen to our voices.

Only then will 10 become 100,

and 100 become 1,000.

Hey! Why are they
taking photographs of us?

Smile if they take a photograph.

They are laughing at us
in a mocking manner.

They have started to look at us, bro.

That is the start.

Hey! Why are they giving us alms?

Look at that!

Why do you consider that alms?

Look at it as a form of appreciation.

All of you have a different perspective.

I am not tuned in yet.

We have to cast aside our sense of shame,
pride and honor, right?

Okay.

Joba!

We had a good crowd today, right?

Shall I check
if anything is posted online?

No need.

We wait and see.

We just carry on.

We shall run like a horse
which just looks ahead as it runs.

Today, we had 15 to 20 more people
than yesterday, right?

We have started to hear
the noise that they make.

-Aaryan?
-Yes?

I will go and speak to Dhilip.

SINGAPORE NEWS: SINGAI SEITHIGAL?

There is a new sensation
all across the country.

One Music. A band made up of six people.

They released their new song online
around three months ago.

They've drawn around 2,7 million people
within this short period of time.

The title of the song that's drawn a lot
of people is "Yennai Nee Katti Kondal."

One week ago, One Music released
a new song from their new album.

It should be noted that the director
of Pitch Perfect, Mr. Arjun,

has lodged a copyright claim
against One Music.

At this point, One Music have been singing

their songs in public places
which have heavy human traffic.

Harshini from One Music has posted

in her social media platforms
that they embarked on this effort

in order to prove that
the allegation against them is false,

and to display their talent to the public.

She has issued
a strict warning against the ill*gal sale

of One Music's album
as it constitutes an act of plagiarism.

At this point, when they are
gaining the support of the people,

we need to wait and see who the case,

that has been filed against One Music,
will be favorable to.

I am Mythili and I will update you
with further details.

What happened?

Random people are uploading online

all the songs from the album,
on different platforms.

Let them do it.

They have all registered them
as One Music's songs.

That is enough.

Do you have the CD? Plagiarism?

Yes, brother. It is only $10.

I will give you $15. Get it.

Why are you speaking
in a strange manner? Who are you?

I sing strangely as well.
Do you want to hear?

-Who are you?
-Take it out.

Bro! Go and stand there.

-Take out the CD.
-I will get it, bro.

-Take out the CD.
-Bro!

I will take it, bro.

What do I look like to you?

We work hard and compose songs.

And you create a brand called Plagiarism,
and earn money out of it?

Take it out!

Hey, leave me.

We need to stop piracy.

We rip their content from online sources

and post it in the name
of supporting an artist.

This is not a form of support.

This is how they earn.

This is how they make a living.

Do not k*ll art or an artist.

I initially had my doubts.

But I heard all the songs
that they performed in the streets.

There is a common magic.

They have a signature.

I have not heard that
in any of Pitch Perfect's songs.

I am a big fan of Arjun sir

But it is very evident now
that they are doing it

to spoil the names
of up and coming youngsters.

Many people are asking how Aaryan is.

First, ask that boy
to take a video and upload it. Okay?

I don't know
where all this will lead to, Dad.

When I think of Aaryan…

Don't be afraid, dear.

Everything will turn out well.

You guys are going to make it.

You are fighting against injustice.

Justice will definitely prevail.

You will see that happen.

Greetings to everyone.

I'm fine, bro. I am fine.

Many of you
have sent messages. I saw them.

I read them.

Thank you very much for your support.

Tonight, we will be
performing at 9:30 at Orchard Road.

On behalf of One Music,
I would like to thank those

who have supported us
and have spoken out for us.

Without you, we would
definitely not exist.

Do not think that I am
merely paying lip service.

You know very well that an artist

cannot exist without an audience.

There is no victory without applause.

You have shown

all of us

a taste of success.

Thank you very much for that.

We are all definitely very eager

to meet all of you today.

Thank you very much
for recognizing my art.

See you, guys.

See you guys tonight.

How did they do that?

How did they do it?

Without anyone's help?
Standing in the streets?

How were they able to achieve it?

Have they…

evened the score with me?

I will finish it.

I will finish this game.

I will eradicate One Music!
