Kittu Mama Solraan

Story starts in 2008

Scene 1
---------------
Robert goes out of his apartment and opens his mail box. Dozen mails were waiting to be opened with a very hot look. Those were the mails from debt collection departments trying to scare Robert with yellow and red envelopes. He opens couple of envelopes and stops reading it anymore. His tension creeps and his hands start shivering. Reality in life is always miserable for a man who was living his life like a king. Yes, Robert was a man who lived breathing money every single minute. His passion for money kept his energy levels at peak but not until the housing market hit the ground. He was running a home equity loan company and his cousin John, started another company to issue best term life insurance rates. Since he was in new Hampshire and his cousin was in New York, they named the companies "new Hampshire home equity loans" and "new York term life insurance" respectively.

Scene 2
--------------
The same day evening, Robert is found in the hospital with tubes connected to his nose and he started bleeding. Investigations were happening outside the hospital and the cops were questioning the doctor of his health. Because of his debts, "standard life health care", the company where he had his health insurance coverage, stopped his coverage and Robert gets helped by his uncle named George.

Scene 3
---------------
George works as a stockbroker at Scottrade. He calls his work place to say that he won’t be able to come the next day as he has got to attend some family emergency. He only commits to take conference calls with the company; come may an emergency at work. He keeps the phone down with a wicked smile and turns back to get a shocking treatment. Robert and the doctors were all chit chatting along with the cops and George is troubled to see that Robert seems OK. He slowly walks towards them with a fake look of affection towards Robert to ask if he is doing OK now. The cops arrest George immediately and take him to a task

Scene 4
---------------
The cops started talking to George in the police station.

Head Cop: Why did you kill John.

George: "Hell no. I did not kill anybody". I don't know why you are doing this to me. John is actually in new York and I don’t even know that he is dead. I'm here at New Hampshire and what makes you point your fingers at me. I'm innocent, I'm innocent". Please leave me alone

Head cop: Then why did you call John after so many years, yesterday.

George: I called because I wanted to see how he was doing. I did not do anything to him so far and thought that I could help him if he needs any cash. I don’t know why god is being so cruel to make this all happen after I spoke to him.

Head cop: Why did you not kill john completely. Why did you leave him half dead?

George: What? Is John alive? The fear in George's face was obvious.

John: You son of a bitch. I wanted to stay away from you and have always asked Robert to do the same. You made so many of foreign nationals who did not care about owning a home to get a loan from Roberts’s company and started living on huge commissions. When every one of those other country men went back home, Robert became bankrupt and now you are enjoying your life in his commissions and sending him fake debt notices.

Scene 5
-----------------
George: How do you know all that?

John: I went to a restaurant in new York and happened to see some mortgage papers in a table where one couple was chatting. Looking at your signature, I asked the details and came to know what you were up to. I called the police immediately and got the foreign couples threatened to accept it too. They have repaid their commissions that you had given to them and you somehow came to know that. The person you killed the other day in my apartment was a criminal in the police custody that got masked with my face.


Scene 6 - Ends
-------------------
From 2020, loans were not issued to foreign nationals who were not permanent residents. This is just a fake true story :-).

This is how a short storyline is built in Hollywood, based on a True Story. They simply get nicely packaged with good screen writing and events to give the old true story a living reality. Example would be movies like JOHN.F.Q acted by Denzel Washington, which was based on insurance scams that had happened in the past. Steven Spielberg, the dinosaur in movie making has converted so many true stories into a package that has been relished by the world. But if you see in many tamil movies, "idhu unmaik kadhai alla. Ikkadhaiyil varuvana ellaam karpanai kadhaa paathiramae" nu sollitu, padam paatha verum kuppaya irukkum. I think even Indian movies should start making true stories on the screens and I believe that it can make a difference when it comes to dealing with quality in a script.

Some of the tamil movies based on incidents have touched my heart. Movies like Mahanadhi, Nayagan, Paruthi veeran are examples of events and characters in real life. It would be nice to see if kamal can make "Marudhanaayagam" a reality, which is again based on a true character that had lived in the past.

If you know of more true stories made in tamil, let me know.
