Of all the girls in the world, why did l fall in love with Jessie?
This is Jessie.
So beautiful, educated.
She has a style of her own.
lf l took Jessie home and told my mom, "l want to marry her".
l am sure my mom will happily agree.
But why did l love her?
What's the problem?
She is getting married, that's the problem.
Do you willingly, wholeheartedly take Roy Thomas as your lawfully wedded husband?
Can we decide whom we fall in love with?
We can't go in search of love,
lt won't last.
lt has to happen of its own accord.
lt has to hit us, make us spin topsy turvy.
lt has to be with us always.
That's true love.
lt happened to me.
Actually l didn't choose Jessie.
That love hit me.
This is me, Karthik.
l finished engineering, did a few odd jobs,
finally, jobless.
l went in search of a well-known director..
..to become his assistant.
To me, cinema is life.
The money l had was just what my dad gave me.
Good friends, plenty of dreams.
We need one more hand.
Mr Ganesh, my friend,
Come let's play.
l thought you were somebody else.
l have seen all your films.
Cethar vessels, design engineer appointment.
Though your marks are less,
it's my recommendation.
So they are pretty OK with that.
They have asked you to join next week.
l knew the day l joined engineering,
it's a lost cause.
My life is only cinema.
l want to be a film maker Pa.
That means?
l want to apprentice under a director,
learn the ropes, direct movies.
l have written lots of stories.
When you want, come and meet me.
l will introduce you to some directors.
l am working with two or three of them.
Whom do you want to work with Karthik?
Gautham Menon.
Do you want to make Tamil films with English dialogues?
Besides, he takes two years to complete a film.
Hunt high and low, you have to come to me.
l knew you would come.
l have what you want, take it if you can.
Switch off your damn phone.
The boy l told you who is interested, Karthik.
Yeah, studied engineering?
He looks more like a hero.
ln my next film he is my camera man.
Be in touch with him.
He will let you know in a few months.
This story is ideal for Ajith,
how he became a rowdy, a don and then Billa.
Hey. this is really close to my office.
Yes sir, just shifted here two days ago.
We are building a new house.
will move in six months time.
l don't believe in cinema,
maybe that's why he brought you to defend his case.
Please don't think like that sir.
To narrate a story to a hero,
one needs good communication skill.
l wouldn't tell you otherwise.
Just give him some time.
When there was no breath of fresh air in my life,
dried and withered,
that's when l saw her, Jessie.
That love hit me.
Why did you shatter my heart into pieces?
l'll give you my other heart to break again.
Dad. - ln the middle of the road,
What if some car hits you?
For a film.
Hosanna, hosanna. (Praise be to love)
That moment, one evening,
the time our eyes met.
The time l lost myself,
something happened to me.
Touched by the sky,
dad's chiding words..
..vanished with the wind.
Hosanna.
She just crossed my doorstep.
Hosanna.
That's all she did.
l'm reeling.
l'm falling to pieces.
After she left, l'm searching for my heart.
Hosanna.
l came close to living.
Hosanna.
l came close to dying too.
Hosanna.
because l'll say its love.
Hosanna.
Everybody wants to know what l feel like? l feel like..
..l really want to be here with you.
lt's not enough to say that we are made for each other,
it's love that is Hosanna true.
Hosanna. Be there when you're calling out my name.
Hosanna. Meaning of my whole life has changed.
l never want to be the same.
lt's time we re-arrange.
l take a step, you take a step.
Me ah, calling out to you.
Hello.
Yo-o-Hosanna.
Butterflies in many hues..
..flutter here and there..
..in search of flowers.
A cloud, a single cloud,
moves here and there..
..to caress me softly, drop by drop.
Hosanna.
ls the butterfly here?
Hosanna.
Has the cloud touched you?
You become a shell,
l become a child..
..to clasp you in the palm of my hand..
..protectively.
Hosanna.
To shower love on me.
Hosanna.
To walk along with me.
Hosanna.
Just say okay, that's enough.
Hosanna.
Why did you shatter my heart into pieces?
l'll give you my other heart to break again.
Why did you shatter my heart into pieces?
l'll give you my other heart to break again.
They are Malayalee Christians.
Hope you know that?
Her name is Jessie.
We are Veerakudi Vellalar.
Hope you know that.
Even if you convince Jessie,
her parents will never accept.
The moment l saw her l knew you would fall for her.
Don't, you will end up in deep trouble.
You will have to elope,
put a full stop right now.
Besides, her dad is a lawyer.
Did your sister tell you?
Your mom has brought her up that way.
An old-fashioned girl in a modern attire.
Don't take all that to heart.
What is she saying here?
You should only hear your heart beating Jessie's name.
Think how you can propose to her.
Next time tell your assistants.
They don't let me in.
Who? Bucket.
You don't think of all this?
She finished her Bsc three years ago.
You finished engineering last year.
She is a year older than you.
What are you saying?
She is older than you by a year.
That's awesome.
She will take care of you very well.
She will be mom and wife rolled into one.
She will make all the moves first. Understand?
Trust me.
But what if she said all this is a problem?
She will.
You have to stand your ground.
Will you?
l don't want it ma. l have to be there at 9.
Ma, l'm home.
Brother?
What are you doing now?
Oh that's good.
Uncle, whats your height?
'You are doing something to me
You are doing something to me'
Karthik, can't you keep your room a little clean?
Dad commented on it's state.
Dad wants to talk to you in the evening.
He doesn't like your obsession with cinema.
Ma, l can hear a sweet voice inside.
Anu has brought any friends of her's? Home?
Jessie from upstairs.
Oh, that girl?
Then one day, suddenly, Jessie at my place.
Jessie, this is my brother, you've never met him, right?
l know, your folks keep calling your name throughout the day.
l can hear it upstairs daily.
So even you know l am jobless.
l didn't say that.
You speak good Tamil. Aren't you a Mallu?
l speak better Tamil than Malayalam.
How long have you been here?
Right from my birth.
l like Kerala, l visit it often.
Especially steam cake and chickpea curry for breakfast.
l always hunt for that and eat it.
You get more than that in Kerala.
Your village, where's your home in Kerala?
Pulinkunnu.
My parents are from Pulinkunnu.
Dad's mom is there.
That's why l like Kerala.
She's very sweet.
Go there once a year, for her sake.
Did you do MCA after your BSc?
l can't believe that. You like math that much?
Yeah very much, that's the secret. lf you like math, it becomes easy.
You did engineering?
He just wants to become a filmmaker.
Filmmaker.
Let's see, it's not easy,
easier to pass math than cinema.
l'll definately become a director.
My dad won't even let us watch a film.
lt's considered a sin in our community.
l have seen five films in my entire life,
that too without my dad's knowledge.
Do you want to leave Karthik?
She hardly watches films, my hopes got dashed.
l didn't have heart to leave the room.
What?
She and her questions.
With a 'one-track mind', zeroed in on her.
You are not following me? Are you?
l think you are following me.
This is where my office is.
l work here.
KFC is also here.
l love eating here.
l asked just like that.
Are you saying you will buy for me too?
So what do you do?
l am a program analyst with Polaris.
Wait a sec. Let me just look at her, few more minutes.
Biriyani? No, right? So give me chicken.
On the way to work?
No l am going to play cricket, coming?
Making fun of me huh?
Is that so?
Why do you keep looking back?
lf my dad sees me talking to you, l am dead meat.
Really?
How old are you?
l'm 23.
lt's okay, you are younger than me.
lf my dad asks me, l'll say you are like my younger brother.
lf he asks, if he sees.
What happened? You forgot something?
l don't want to be your brother Jessie.
l don't either, l already have one, that's enough.
No, no, l have a younger sister.
l will accept everyone in this world as my sister..
..here after, except you.
Why?
Because l like you.
Felt l had professed my love too soon.
Wanted to apologise, couldn't find her.
What?
Your 'love' is in Kerala.
How do you know?
l was talking to her mom.
Saw you going round and round the house.
She isn'there, gone to visit her granny.
Won't be back for a week.
Even before my sister finished talking l knew l would goto Kerala.
Some guys even goto America for their love.
Why can't l go to Allepey?
Pleaded with Ganesh sir to accompany me.
He agreed, under the guise of seeing location for his film.
Actually he payed.
With what confidence did we come here?
Walking endlessly,
my knees have gone for a sixer,
my head is splitting.
At least now call your sister,
ask her to find out from Jessie's mom more details.
Find some relevant clue.
Have you come with the idea of sight-seeing Kerala?
l will leave in two days, l have to start my shoot.
But guys like you will defenitely win.
Jessie will be yours.
Luck favours the brave.
One small correction.
What's today?
She's a Christian,
she will definitely attend mass today.
There are more churches than houses here.
How many churches will we go to?
let's go to all the churches.
How are you so sure she will come here?
ls this the only church in this place?
l have checked, this is the biggest church here.
chances of her coming here are...
Sir, look.
Oh. this is Jessie?
How did you, too much.
You are humming the wrong song.
This is from the film Bombay,
in which Manisha Koirala is a Muslim.
Love has only one tune.
Music has only one religion.
To me it is only Jessie.
ln exactly ten seconds she will look at me.
Just wait and watch.
Hey, that's definitely expecting too much.
At the count of four, what did you do?
A 'missile' look?
Let's go out and wait.
l was going mad.
Maybe l confessed my love much too fast.
l knew you would be upset.
l came searching for you just to apologise.
Wait, l'll introduce you as my classmate.
Kaaka Kaaka film's D.O.P.
Who is this dear?
Granny, this is my friend,
Karthik, my classmate.
Hello granny.
He's your classmate? Looks older than you.
You know enough Malayalam to be amused?
He is Karthik's friend,
childhood friend.
Who is this?
Karthik, my friend.
Who are all these people?
Come home and have lunch.
Show them the way.
Are you sure? You want me to...?
Come, l'll take care.
We came to see one girl,
we end up meeting a church load of her family.
Except the baldie, everyone is a six footer.
l come to apologise sir,
and they call us home for lunch.
Take care of this one, seems to be the main switch.
come in.
Did you have difficulty finding the way?
No, no problem.
Are you a Christian?
l just asked simply.
Many of Jessie's friends have come here before.
Six months ago, some ten to twenty of them came.
What? Twenty guys came before us?
Have you come here before?
He's asking if you have come here before.
Jessie's classmate?
Do you love mathematics that much?
Go on, eat.
What's your job?
Why is he staring that way?
Eat, eat.
He is doing a postmortem. Let's escape.
Can't take it, my stomach's fuming.
You are happily eating.
Eat, eat.
With what guts you thought you would find me?
l did, didn't l? But it took four days.
Why did you come?
l told you, to apologise.
l thought you were mad.
l am angry.
l know, don't take it to heart.
Don't be without talking to me.
Ok, I won't take you and what you said seriously.
l said that ten days ago, let me tell you now.
ln the city where l lived for 22 years,
l am not able to live for a moment without you.
Why? -Even he was unable to.
That's why we came here.
Love will end in failure, do you need that?
However much you get a good name in my house,
they will never accept a Hindu groom.
l can't elope and live.
My dad will not like you.
He won't even talk to me?
lf you raise the topic of loving me or wanting to marry me,
he won't talk to you.
He will converse well otherwise.
He is agood man.
He will even write his entire property out to you,
but not his daughter.
Ok, ask him to write and give.
Secondly, l have lived in the same city for 23 years,
l am a year older than you.
He will not accept that too.
That's not of great importance nowadays.
lt is...you don't understand.
Before all this l should like you, that's the tough part.
Now you are talking sense.
Let's be friends.
Let's not think of love.
let's meet whenever we find time.
Ok, friends.
Let's shake hands.
How could you come out of your house now?
That's no problem here.
That's why l love coming here.
No one can ask me any questions here.
My dad stays only for a few days and then leaves,
l stay on for 10-15 days.
He will usually come back and pick me up.
This time, l am travelling back alone tomorrow.
l am so excited about going alone.
l'll just go and take a few snaps, look around.
No no, don't go, my folks will mis-understand.
l'll be within your sight.
Why do you like me?
You said 'l am crazy about you', Why?
Do you think l am beautiful?
ls it just with the way l look?
Can't tell you all that.
You'll know when you see it in my first film.
lt will be my sixth film.
No, you need courage,
to see a girl and tell her that you love her.
You need perseverance..
..to come to another city in search of her.
Yeah see, it's like, if l want to work with a director,
l have to try to meet him,
he won't even see me.
People around will treat me like dirt.
He may even yell at me.
Must cross all that and take the chance.
Then my life is made.
lf l thought why all these hassles and sat at home,
then, l'll just sit forever.
Just an example l could relate to.
And also its the matter of the heart.
My heart and mind just got connected and brought..
..me here.
You talk well.
The first day l saw you,
cross my heart, the moon above faded in its glow.
My heart just flipped,
l even somersaulted you know.
Has no one ever come after you?
Guys go overboard even on average lookers,
and stand upside down.
Maybe they haven't seen me through your eyes.
Glad you understand.
l am going to use that line in my film.
Hey, it's my copyright.
You can't use it without my permission.
Good to hear all this Karthik.
But don't forget we agreed to be friends.
Yeah, friends, whatever l felt within me,
What else can l say?
l have to go.
Ok, l have to go now. See you. Bye.
Bye, nice day.
Comeback with me, let's go back together.
You shook hands, became friends,
let this continue in Chennai.
Friendship should become love,
that's all you want, right?
Yeah, but it will start in the train tomorrow.
Oh girl, in your beauty,
l forgot to blink my eyes.
But l saw a thousand dreams..
..to make a thousand nights dissolve.
You came, and went.
You stole both my eyes.
My dearest. Oh my dearest.
My beloved.
My dearest. Oh my dearest.
My beloved.
l am unable to forget you.
My Beloved.
lt feels so right to give you my life.
l will be your shadow in the path you walk.
Your sari flutters in the breeze.
My morning dawns.
Your speech, your glance..
..turns day into night..
..whether together or apart.
l share half your inner soul.
Your joys and sorrows are mine.
You make me feel complete.
My dearest. Oh my dearest.
My beloved.
l am unable to forget you.
My beloved.
lt feels so right to give you my life.
Malayalees sing a lullaby to you..
..in an emerald decked cradle.
Oh beautiful girl.
The birds in the mango groves unite together.
Your beauty, like the magic of the flute,
takes my breath away.
When l'm away you are the moon that wanes.
Don't stay in the sky, come close to me.
Just a small glance if you shower on me..
..l'll survive, survive..
..the little boy that l am.
My dearest. Oh my dearest.
My beloved.
l am unable to forget you.
My beloved.
lt feels so right to give you my life.
My dearest. Oh my dearest.
My beloved.
l am unable to forget you.
My beloved.
lt feels so right to give you my life.
My beloved.
l am unable to forget you.
My beloved.
lt feels so right to give you my life
My beloved.
l am unable to forget you.
My beloved.
lt feels so right to give you my life.
My beloved.
l am unable to forget you.
My beloved.
lt feels so right to give you my life.
Don't do this, is this how friends behave?
Why did you say that then?
How dare you hold my hand?
In the train.
l kissed you after that.
You didn't stop me.
lsn't this love?
l touched your feet,
you didn't object.
This is love, isn't it Jessie?
Did you realise the fantastic chemistry we shared?
It's there even now.
l am sitting on this side, and l can't handle it.
l want to sit there with you.
l know you want it too.
l thought we could be friends,
that's why l said that.
All that got shattered in the train.
This is love, l'm crazy about you and l'm ****ing mad about you.
There is NO love! There is NO chemistry!
l don't know why l let you kiss me.
Let go of me Karthik.
This won't happen.
Don't come after me.
I wanted to tell you this, that's why l came here.
l can see only the hassles.
My folks will never accept.
My dad will kill me, even my mom.
This has already happened to my sister.
She fell in love.
Dad didn't accept.
Fights and tears every day at home.
She ran away.
My dad brought her back the same evening,
Within a week got her married.
She has a 1 year old kid now.
My dad made me promise him..
..l should marry the guy of his choice.
Let's deal with the problem later.
l saw love in your eyes that night in the train.
That's why l did that.
lsn't it love Jessie?
Tell me just that.
l like you.
But l don't want this.
Do you understand?
Come here.
You are practical, sensible,
but don't say 'No'.
You like me, don't you?
Don't you feel it?
lt happens only once in a lifetime.
lf we can't live with the person we love what's the..
..use of living.
This is un****ing believable.
l'll wager a bet.
Your sister cannot be happy,
that is, if she truly loved that guy.
lt's just an act.
l didn't do anything wrong.
You are not someone's wife.
You area Christian dad's daughter.
I am a Hindu dad's son.
lf that's what is wrong,
let me tell you now,
no one can prevent my life with you,
whoever it is, even your dad.
Only because l'm in love with you.
This treat should have been in Park Sheraton.
Only half of that now for you sir.
Why?
Did she say only "l lo", not "ve you"?
You are a genius sir.
That's more or less what happened.
Says she likes me but doesn't want to take it forward.
What do l do?
Of all the girls in our city, why did l have to fall for Jessie?
She is most beautiful.
She is also most problematic.
Just one question, is she worth it?
Can give my life sir.
Footloose and fancyfree, with no care in the world.
She asked me to come, l went.
l wondered what she's going to come up with now?
Why did you ask me to come here?
Didn't want to meet you at my workplace.
Shall we go?
Where?
Wherever, we have three hours.
Let's go some place.
Movie? 6 pm show, we can see first half and come away.
Work. home, such a routine.
First time l made a trip to Kerala alone.
l had to beg my dad for that.
l made up my mind to spend time with you.
l wanted to talk to you.
l said l have work till 8 pm
l lied.
what?
l said l lied.
Are you watching the film?
Like it? Or can l talk?
Like it, but we can talk.
Let's be just friends Karthik.
Otherwise there will be too much pain.
l don't want that.
Nowadays l feel like talking to you,
spending time with you.
That's why l am here with you.
l don't want to lose this.
lf there's love between us, we can't be free.
lt's too much pressure.
What people will think.
We'll be worried if someone sees us.
Can we be like this without love?
Can l go home and tell my dad?
Karthik who lives downstairs is my friend and..
..we don't have anything between us?
You can come up and spend time with me.
Crossing all boundaries, but not together.
No secrets, no ego,
nothing?
You are the first guy to kiss me,
l have not dated any guy.
l'll walk home from here.
What are you trying to prove Jessie?
That it's no big deal?
How can l delete my love?
How is that possible?
That too for your dad?
How do you do that Jessie?
Then you talk about your first kiss.
You won't touch me on the bike.
You thought if your hand touched me l would...
When you were in Kerala l wanted to kiss you here.
Even if you are 100 feet away from me l feel like touching you.
when l am 80 you will be 81,
even then l will feel the same way.
l want to make love to you all the time.
Then, how can we be just friends?
Do you understand anything that l am saying?
You feel like spending time with me,
its only because of love.
Take that love away, then you won't feel this way.
You wanted to go tell your dad, "Karthik who lives downstairs and l are just friends".
You should not say that.
You should say "Karthik loves me with all his heart, he wants to spend his entire life with me,
dad, l want to be with him".
You told me your dad let you go alone to Kerala for the first time.
l think he has changed,
won't his intelligence match his 6'3" frame?
He isn't the old Joseph you know.
He might accept me.
Will you go tell him?
l hate you.
Thank you.
lf she doesn't like something,
she will walk away immediately.
l have seen more of her back than her front.
Not that l was complaining.
Why are you being so difficult Jessie?
ln your eyes,
you immersed me and denied it.
Your glance was loaded with meaning.
While l speak with love,
you aim a knife at me.
l dreamt of being close to you to caress you.
l came a little closer and kissed you.
Despite all this, is it right to deny love?
ls it a crime for me to be a guy..
..and you to be a girl?
l am not your friend.
l'm the moon that lights up your sky.
l am not just your friend.
You are the celebration of my life.
l am not your friend.
l'm the moon that lights up your sky.
l am not just your friend.
You are the celebration of my life
ln your eyes,
you immersed me and denied it.
Your glance was loaded with meaning.
While l speak with love,
you aim a knife at me.
l dreamt of being close to you to caress you.
l came a little closer and even kissed you.
You..
..and me,
Only one,
full stop.
Only one..
..line.
You..
..and me..
..will live together..
..in this place.
Only one.
Our home.
Love is a wound.
My love, come running to me.
look deep into my eyes,
proclaim your love..
..and heal my wounds.
My darling, come running to me.
look deep into my eyes,
proclaim your love..
..and heal my wounds.
ln your eyes,
you immersed me and denied it.
Your glance was loaded with meaning.
While l speak with love,
you aim a knife at me.
l dreamt of being close to you to caress you.
l came a little closer and kissed you.
Despite all this, is it right to deny love?
ls it a crime for me to be a guy and you to be a girl?
l am not your friend.
l'm the moon that lights up your sky.
l am not just your friend.
You are the celebration of my life.
l am not your friend.
l'm the moon that lights up your sky.
l am not just your friend.
You are the celebration of my life.
Yesterday my brother saw you talking to me near my office,
l'm telling you, it will be a disaster, let go right now.
What about me? l am following you for a month,
you are ignoring me.
Do you want any clothes-pegs?
What's happening Jessie?
Nothing, nothing Jerry.
l am going down.
Ma, just wanted to know if you want me to bring the clothes down?
I am on the terrace, looks like its going to rain.
No need? Shall l come down?
Someone's calling me.
Saw you yesterday in front of her office.
Today you are holding her hand on the terrace.
You think l am dumb?
l will break your face to pieces.
You, pimp.
l hardly get angry.
He is Jessie's brother.
Actually l shouldn't get mad with him,
but the word he flung at me...
Then l thought to myself, l love only Jessie, not him.
Jerry listen to me.
Don't hit me while l am talking to you.
You used foul language first.
He called me...
lf she hadn't come to your rescue,
l would have sent you to hospital.
l'll rip you to pieces.
But l didn't tell you something.
lf you noticed the way l hit Jerry,
you will see a boxer's style.
Yeah, l am a boxer.
ln school l learnt boxing along with cricket and football.
My coach called me 'lightfoot'.
Now you'll see why.
This is for hitting me.
Fall at my feet, apologise and get lost.
Otherwise you will get smashed by everyone here.
Come and touch my feet.
Jerry, let me close the shutter.
Where are you going?
That's not the scene now. Come back
lf you had called me, l would have come.
why unnecessarily bring all your friends..
..and create a ruckus?
l shouldn't have hit you.
There's nothing between Jessie and me the way you think.
l'll myself close the shutter.
ls that the way you want it?
Come.
What the hell.
Don't Jerry, listen to me.
listen to me.
Ok come.
l told you not to, you didn't listen.
lt's your fault.
Did you hit Jerry? What's your hassle with him?
His dad came and yelled at me,
Why do you put me in such a spot?
Let's go in and talk.
His dad will ask us now to vacate.
You won't be there to help me house-hunt.
Why did you hit him?
l didn't hit him dad.
He brought some guys to hit me.
You want me to get hit and keep quiet?
He came down and yelled as if you were to blame?
Did you try anything with Jessie?
Nothing like that, he misunderstood.
Let's go in.
Dad got angry because he got yelled at.
You said he hit you but it is Jerry's face that is bruised.
Karthik, tell me the truth.
Ma, l was talking to her generally.
Her brother made a big issue out of it.
He tried to get my girl,
won't her brother get angry?
lf my son came after your daughter, won't you get mad?
Does that justify ganging up to hit him?
l should be the one to give a police complaint.
Ask dad to just keep quiet, go.
Your son is the rascal not mine. You think my son is jobless?
Complaint to police? Go ahead, we'll see what happens.
l know he is jobless, trying to be a director.
ls that a profession?
He needs to be properly qualified to marry my daughter.
Your daughter parks herself like a car in my house,
and you want a qualification?
Ask her, she would have said something.
My son didn't go up to your house.
Your daughter is the one always in our house.
You give complaint, so will l.
l will book him on eve teasing charges, he will get thrashed properly.
Let the court decide who is wrong.
This is my house, this is my daughter,
you live under.
l don't want anymore problems.
You vacate immediately.
Mr Joseph, l know the law too. l have given 10 months advance.
l should be given 3 months prior notice.
l will goto consumer court.
l thought it's was all over, she said "Don't THlNK. lt is over".
You called me?
l thought you loved me?
How can you hit your loved one's brother?
How can you fight with him?
Or did you listen to what l said and now you've stopped loving me?
And so you went and hit him with that frustration?
You think l should have taken the beating for your sake?
You want me to grovel at his feet?
l can't.
You know how much l love you Jessie.
They are arranging my marriage.
Because of this?
Fixed the date now, they were already planning.
Did you know that when we were on the train?
No, The day l met you here, told you l liked you, that morning.
They confirmed it today.
l knew this would happen.
But l thought l could somehow convince them about you.
But now after this fight, l know what they think of you.
So, the wedding?
Next month on the 23rd is the wedding,
in the same church where you met me.
What do you want me to do Karthik?
Go get married Jessie.
You didn't come to ask me permission.
You just wanted to inform me, right?
You have told me, go.
l saw her just once after that.
She smiled,
it was poetic,
and made me mad too.
And then they all left for the wedding.
Needless to say, we weren't invited.
l want to go for her wedding.
What? Kerala has big men in colored lungis who will beat you to pulp.
We can't even enter the premises.
l have to go sir.
Give me one good reason why?
l love her.
l have to go for her wedding.
l have to see her face.
So, church wedding climax now..
..also in your life, like many films.
l feel this is harakiri.
Junior baldie has seen us.
He is Jessie's cousin.
You are Jessie's classmates? Aren't you? Get into the church.
Shake hands with him.
We will come in.
All of her friends are waiting inside the church, please get in.
What is he saying? lizard? Blizzard?
Please take your seat.
You must eat before you leave.
They are all looking at us like we are aliens.
Oh shit. Her brother, don't look that side.
Do we need to go through all this?
Of all the women in the world, why did l fall in love with Jessie?
However many times you ask me, l have no answer to that.
Shall l go and talk to her?
Let us pray.
Even now we can leave, let me know.
Sir, She is happy sir.
let's go.
l told you this before.
l knew you would get affected.
lf we get up and go everyone will see us.
Sir, did they ask her if she is willing? They'll ask her first, right?
Haven't you watched films?
They will ask him first.
What is it now?
After asking them both they will ask the crowd.
l have seen it in the movies.
Shall l raise my hand and object?
What?
Roy Thomas, Do you willingly, wholeheartedly take Jessie as your lawfully wedded wife?
Jessie, Do you willingly, wholeheartedly take Roy Thomas as your lawfully wedded husband?
l want to talk to you, l don't want to get married.
l don't want this as of now.
She said she doesn't want this marriage,
She has stopped the wedding.
What are you saying sir?
Please make my dad understand.
Jessie, what are you saying?
l'm sorry l don't know what else to do. l gave it alot of thought but l..
..can't go through with this right now.
Do you understand what they are saying?
Don't embarrass me Jessie.
ls there someone else?
Dad, please. There's no one.
Mr Joseph, what is happening?
l'll talk to her.
She has seen us sir.
There iS someone, that's why she is like this.
Are you asking me if there's someone else?
Even if there is,
you won't approve.
This isn't why l called the wedding off.
lf she points a finger at us, that's it.
No problem.
l have a problem, l'll leave.
Please dad, l want to go home now.
Wait. You know what you are getting us into?
You must come home and have dinner with us.
lt's my treat for getting a 'first class' in MCA.
There was only one thought in my head,
'what a woman',
and she is worth dying for.
Let's run away.
They are hitting each other,
let's go stand a hundred feet away and discuss.
Now sir, do you know why l insisted on coming here?
l understand.
l could see her face.
Did you see the happiness on her face when she saw me?
lf she had said there's a guy,
if she had pointed her finger at you,
they would have beaten us up.
l just did a 'fast forward'.
Now l know why she didn't tell us.
But to say it here, now, you need real guts.
She has captured a place in my heart.
Sir, where do we go now?
Don't know where my life is leading me to?
Are you saying crossroads of life?
Good philosophy.
You will find a solution.
When in doubt there's always a vehicle that gives us a lift.
Let's get into this bus, you will find your answer.
Your life is about to change.
Looks like the same church.
Not looks like, it is.
Has the bus taken a wrong turn?
Her brother has spotted us.
He is coming after us.
He won't.
Sit down, keep calm.
You were the one who said l'll find a new path.
lt's all messed up.
l didn't think your path will change so soon.
Now they will blame the girl, and us too.
She didn't even know our plans.
lt's all gone haywire.
What do we do now?
Let him come,
l am a well-known cameraman, l'll handle it.
They will let us off.
They will smash us, not let us off.
Stop the bus.
Looks like a scene from the film 'Thirupachi'.
ln two seconds your 'brother-in-law' will be inside.
How will you manage?
We have come to see location, not his sister.
What are you doing here?
lsn't he Jessie's classmate?
He had come home for lunch, the last time Jessie was here.
They were there in the church,
l was the one who ushered them in.
Get down.
Why should we get down?
Fine, you go first, we will get down.
Why should we get down sir?
You get down.
Let's get down and convince them.
Things will only get worse sir.
Brother, we have come here to see location.
You and your ******* location.
Hit him.
Hit your 'brother-in-law', he hit me.
l'll handle the police.
They are the ones who stopped the wedding.
See, what they've done to my cousin.
Now l have to speak in Malayalam.
Of all the girls in the world, why did you fall in love with Jessie?
That's exactly what l'm also thinking.
You said you will give your life, looks like it's going to happen.
Anyway, one day we all have to die.
She is worth it sir.
Two things l hate in this world, hospital and police station.
Now we are here,
tomorrow they will drive us to court.
Tell me what your plans are?
lf Kodambakkam gets to know this,
that's it, l might aswell die.
-Sir -What?
Her wedding has been called off sir.
There isn't anyone else, it was a lie what l said in the church.
Why did you come to the church Karthik? Was it for me?
lf l decide something it's a hassle for you, right?
Then why am l here, you decide whatever you want.
Dad. They are here, Karthik and his friend.
He has come here before claiming to be her classmate.
They were in the church.
That's why she behaved like that.
They might have planned to elope, l didn't know exactly.
Where are they now?
l have booked them under a false complaint.
They hit your cousin Sunny?
When did they come here? How did you even let them in?
ls Karthik in the police station?
Have you ever understood me Jerry?
lf l had wanted to elope, l would have done it long ago.
There's no connection between..
..me stopping the wedding and Karthik being there.
l didn't even know he was there.
l saw him only when l was walking out.
Dad, please bring him out of the police station immediately.
What did Karthik do ma?
So you are fond of him. l thought he was the one angling for you.
Why didn't you tell me this earlier?
Roy Thomas is vice president of Future Line in San Francisco.
Who is he? A film director.
ls that a job to be proud of?
What future prospects does that have?
My god, Jessie
l might eat in their house,
but my daughter will get married only to a Christian.
Don't you remember what happened to your sister?
Dad l promise l won't see him or talk to him.
Just get him out, that's enough.
She has agreed, Let's end this here.
Bring him out and let him off.
Both sides have hit each other.
l am just taking their statement.
There's fault on our side also.
Let them off.
You don't have to write a case, leave it.
You both can go.
Sir, Thank you sir.
Come.
Why are you staring at him?
He was good enough to bring us out.
Let's just leave.
listen to me.
Please don't disturb us.
She has promised not to talk to you or see you.
That's why l agreed to let you out.
Otherwise you will be sitting inside for a week.
l don't like all this.
lf you have any idea of running behind her, forget it.
l will take care sir.
Go back home in one piece.
Thank you for your co-operation.
lf everything becomes okay one day,
how will you talk to this man?
How will you talk to her brother?
How can you be friendly after all this?
Hey that guy hates you man.
Let's see when it happens.
l have to see her once.
What?
l know that girl is your life.
Sir, he is saying she is my life.
What a dialogue.
How does he know that?
Even he knows.
lf you get caught, don't betray me.
What's this guy talking about?
l have to see you Karthik.
l have to talk to you.
Just once, now.
Then l won't see you or talk to you like l promised dad.
Where are you Karthik?
You look beautiful in your wedding sari.
l was just thinking of you and you are here.
lf someone sees us,
l can't even imagine the consequences.
l have seen you, go.
Please come out.
l have promised not to see you or talk to you.
Promises are meant to be broken.
Thanks for breaking off the wedding.
You need guts for that.
Why Jessie, you didn't like the guy?
l love you Karthik.
You realised it only in the church?
You don't goto church in Chennai?
Did l torture you too much,
running behind you, talking to you,
seeing me often, is that why you fell in love?
l liked you the moment l set eyes on you.
When you saw me near the gate,
each time l saw something in your eyes.
When l saw you in the terrace l wanted to touch your face.
When you proposed to me, walking by myside on the road,
l thought you found out.
When you apologised to me here.
When you wrote 'FRlENDS?' in the train,
my heart pounded louder than the train.
That's why l didn't stop you.
That's why l kissed you, happy?
Don't be here, go home.
l told you this would happen.
lt's all because of me.
Come with me, l'll take care.
Come.
Sit here.
Dad has to say 'yes'.
Do you understand? l can't otherwise.
l just don't know why he is so stubborn, only in this.
He is agood man
He has to accept, l can easily leave all this behind.
l love you.
But everyone should be happy, lsn't that what you also want?
l don't know how, but l will convince him.
l will come for you.
You will come for me?
You are saying what l should be saying.
l love you Karthik.
l love you Jessie.
l was a fish in the sea.
l crossed the shores for you,
trembling, on the sands.
l returned to the sea.
One day l smiled,
the next day l was filled with hatred.
l buried you alive.
Will you forgive me?
Can you forgive me?
One day l smiled,
the next day l was filled with hatred.
l buried you alive.
Will you forgive me?
Can you forgive me?
Dearest, l walked aimlessly.
Like a raindrop hanging at the end of a string,
indecisively.
lt is because of you..
..l became a creator.
You are the distant light.
You are making me gravitate towards you.
What do l do with my heart..
..that yearns, aches and thinks only of you.
l am a small ripple in he water that runs.
You are the moisture within.
l let it go despite my wish being granted.
Will you forgive me my dearest?
l am just a blank paper fluttering in the breeze.
You added words to make it meaningful.
l started with love, now my love is complete.
You are my beacon of light.
One day l smiled,
the next day l was filled with hatred.
l buried you alive.
Will you forgive me?
Can you forgive me?
There is no lock for true love. Tears are the only expression of untold love.
One who cannot love will ask for everything selfishly. One who can love will sacrifice it all.
l went to fight with him, instead l hugged him because my heart had already hugged him.
Why did you come into my life my beloved?
Are you an illusion that will vanish?
Night is when everyone is asleep.
That's the time for tears on my pillow.
One day l smiled,
the next day l was filled with hatred.
l buried you alive.
Will you forgive me?
Can you forgive me?
Dearest, l walked aimlessly.
Like a raindrop hanging at the end of a string,
indecisively.
lt is because of you..
..l became a creator.
You are the distant light.
You are making me gravitate towards you.
What do l do with my heart..
..that yearns, aches and thinks only of you.
...again and again
We've loaded all our stuff. Here's your key.
Don't start something new.
Correct entry?
Have you been waiting for long?
You have to, and be patient.
lt is necessary in this field.
You don't have to nod your head so patiently.
l am starting my film next month,
but you join today
Thank you sir.
l don't want Mr Ganesh to misunderstand me.
He knows you are an angel, l do too.
Have we ever come here before?
He scolded me for even asking him.
What's bothering you Jessie?
l have been lying too much at home.
l don't like it.
What if my dad never agrees?
How long will you wait?
Do l really have to answer this?
l know you'll say however long.
lt's not you, it's me.
l never thought l would love you this much.
l can't be without you for too long.
l heard something.
No lies, must feel at ease.
Shouldn't be worried if someone sees us.
You and me.
lf l can't be that way l don't want anything.
Convince your dad, l will show you how to live.
lsn't that the problem?
My body, my soul.
l yearned for you.
Sparkling star,
will you cross the skies for me?
Will you cross the skies for me?
Star, will you come for me?
Feel like being like this always.
How will you do your film then?
When this could happen,
that will happen automatically.
l can never forget this.
The two most precious days of my life.
lt's like your film's title.
Sounds good, right?
Only we will say it.
Why is today so special?
Maybe this is the last time.
Why did you say that?
Felt like saying it.
You are off to Goa for a shoot.
45 days we won't be together.
Maybe that's why.
Maybe that's why l love you.
Even last night l was with you.
Hope you haven't forgotten that?
To play with my dreams,
Will you cross the skies for me?
Silver moon, will you come with me?
My body, my soul.
l yearned for you.
Twinkling star,
will you cross the skies for me?
Dearest, you and l drifted apart.
ls it because of gravitational forces?
The two poles join together,
in that place we united.
From now on, you and l will never separate.
Darling, will you cross the skies for me?
Will you cross the skies for me?
Star, will you come to me?
Cameraman should walk with the director,
not have a hangover.
l will tell you tomorrow's first shot.
Karthik, come, standthere.
That's the hero's position.
He's seperated from the heroine for nearly 45 days.
Pan from his face to show his feeling.
Our A.R.Rahman will give the appropriate score.
What are you so pre-occupied with?
lf you don't concentrate here,
it's like a slap on my face.
Roy, you've come early.
lt's up to you actually, you understand right?
What is this dialogue? ...blah...blah, no need of this scene.
But it's very important sir.
l know it is important, but that is so cliched.
Which father has supported love?
If he did, he won't be accepted by the audience.
Otherwise the father will threaten to commit suicide.
How many films will have the same dialogue?
Let's think of something new.
Karthik will be over my dead body Jessie.
l will be happy and so will you be if you say yes to Roy.
We will have the wedding within six months.
Do you remember all that l said?
Oh go ahead, we will wait.
Finish your call, we'll shoot later.
Sir, sir, light is just right.
He is your candidate, so you are supporting him?
Karthik, why didn't you call? Not even a single SMS?
l didn't get anything from you after that.
l thought you had some problem.
You didn't reply to my SMS.
Too many problems here, l'll come there.
l'll leave home now.
What happened?
Same thing again.
You will only get irritated if l tell you.
l've decided l can't be here.
Tell me where, l'll come now.
Didn't l tell you l will come for you?
Jessie, l am in Goa,
interior, the drive is five hours.
How will you come here?
Are you telling me not to come?
l'm not saying don't come, but not now.
There's nothing proper here.
Listen to me, l'll be there soon.
We will sit and talk, then we'll decide.
You don't want to be with me?
You don't want me to be with you?
ln Kerala, that day you asked me to come away with you.
Today you are saying "don't come".
That day you also said you won't
Why this change of mind today, all of a sudden?
l'll come there, we can't be together here,
l am working day and night.
l will come there and we'll decide.
We'll talk.
l'll wait for you to come.
When did Jessie tell you this?
Day before yesterday. That night.
Then why didn't you tell me yesterday?
-l didn't... -So what do you want to do now?
Just two days sir. l'll somehow meet her and come back.
Please get me permission.
Take a left on the main road.
Why did you come?
What is this SMS?
l sent it because you were there.
l didn't think you'll be here all of a sudden.
l can't make you understand.
l can't talk to you.
l'm here now?
Tell me whatl should do.
Where do you want to go?
Okay then, tell me what the hell is your problem?
l am your problem Karthik.
l chose a wrong time to say l was coming,
you couldn't do anything, right?
At least for ten minutes you would have thought what to do, right?
That isn't how it should be.
l don't want you to suffer because of me.
l know this won't change.
Yes, l wanted to come that day.
That moment is gone.
Today, l want to let go, it's over.
l told you earlier, you didn't take me seriously.
lf you hadn't come after me,
l would have been just myself.
l would have married the guy my dad chose.
Why did you say you love me?
Why did you come to Kerala and apologise?
Why did you kiss me?
Why did you come for my wedding?
Why did you follow me?
Six months, knowing my mind set, why?
This doesn't feel good, l don't want it.
Let's forget and move on.
Are you mad?
Why are you taking this decision?
Nothing happened. l'll wait however long.
Will he accept when you are fifty?
l'll be forty nine. l'll wait till then.
l'll see you now and then
Will you meet me? That will do.
That's why l don't want it.
Why should you wait?
You have things to do.
l will decide that.
You don't decide for me.
l'd rather you hate me,
than my parents hating me.
Let go. -Please let me go,
l swear this won't work, let me go.
l can never do that.
lt's only because of your dad and brother.
l will talk to them.
Go, before it becomes a disaster.
l swear something has happened to you.
This is how l am Karthik, don't know myself anymore.
l don't know what l want.
l like pain, l like this pain.
Of all the girls in the world, why did you fall in love with me?
l just walked past you. That's all l did.
l hate watching films.
Darkness, crowd, loud noise.
lsn't it an irony you chose me?
You and l won't gel.
You're serious or ****ing what?
You don't like films?
What ****ing logic is that?
Call Jessie.
Come down.
Where is Jessie?
You can't talk to Jessie.
Why has he come here now?
Karthik, just go.
Jessie, come down. l need to talk to you.
l didn't realise this pain would be so intense.
Don't hate me too much, l don't know why l did this.
Sheer madness, so foolish, just couldn't figure out why.
One way ticket to heart break city.
l didn't see her after that.
She walked away from me.
Just go, so humiliating.
"What? Did your brother send you?"
That was his first question.
l said "l just came to see her,
l don't even know where my brother is"
Did you see her? Where is she?
She's got married.
She's not here, she is somewhere in the U.K.
He even showed me her wedding snap.
He even apologised for not inviting us as it was all done in a hurry.
Karthik, forget her, move on.
You have drifted far away from me Jessie.
You have even closed all doors.
We got yelled at because of you yesterday.
Director thinks you are the only capable assistant.
ls that why you are kneeling down beside me?
l heard you even know Hindi?
Don't be so pleased with yourself.
He'll suddenly bark at you, that's it.
Sorry, suddenly just felt like kissing you.
l need to talk to you Karthik.
Spend some time with me, will you?
whenever you can.
l don't know when it happened
Before you say anything else l have to tell you something.
l loved a girl, it's two years since she left me.
l am unable to let go of her.
l don't know where she is, what she's doing.
But she is sitting here, and here..
..and not going away from me.
l can easily get into a relationship with you,
but it won't be wholehearted.
l can't be crazy about you.
You will realise it yourself
She's haunting me. l have to come out of this.
Till then let's refrain Nandini.
l don't know what to say.
l have been trying to write my script for the past six months.
But it isn't happening.
l got an idea now.
l am going to write.
The breeze that climbs over mountains,
the newly-wed breeze..
..that worships the cross on the church steeple.
To that breeze, the land of Kerala extends a warm welcome.
My darling.
This auspicious moment may you be happy.
May the bride forever be happily wedded.
This auspicious moment may you be happy.
May th ebride forever be happily wedded.
l love the way it begins.
Of all the girls in the world, why did l fall in love with Jessie?
l'll definetly do it.
You are the heroine in my film.
Hey, tell me who should l speak to.
l know you won't agree,
but you are the heroine.
Stop it, Karthik.
My film has been confirmed.
You are the D.O.P for my film sir.
l wanted to give the first advance to you personally.
What's the title of your film, Jessie?
Sir, you are agenius.
ls there enough love for the sea to serenade to the shore?
Do you still have love in your heart to melt like a candle?
My darling.
ln this auspicious moment may you be happy.
May the bride forever be happily wedded.
ln this auspicious moment may you be happy.
May the bride forever be happily wedded.
Girl, you are as far away as the stars..
..from the darkness of the night.
Girl, you ar eas far away as the sun's rays..
..that cannot touch the early morning mist.
Are you the cuckoo perched on a branch..
..that bends over the banks of a river.
Are you the soft breeze that caresses the flower.
ln this auspicious moment may you be happy.
May the bride forever be happily wedded.
This auspicious moment is truly a blessing.
May th ebride forever be happily wedded.
My darling.
lf you had seen me and gone away l would not have come after you,
you've been doing that for the past three years.
l am glad you came, that's why we are here now.
l would not have gone away without talking to you.
That's what l have been doing all these years.
lt's so good to see you Karthik.
You've become a director.
My first film is halfway through.
Thirty days of shoot left, release in summer.
Your dream, right? lt's come true.
l am truly happy for you.
How's everyone at home?
They are all good.
Do you want to say or ask something?
Is there someone else in your life Karthik?
l am sure there is.
Someone beautiful, with clarity of thought,
unlike me.
Tell me about her.
She is very intense, she loves me alot.
She liked me the moment she saw me.
We are always together.
When you left me, l didn't even know why.
For sometime l was angry, l was clueless.
l was okay after three months because l met her.
After that my life has been good.
Tell me about her.
Describe her Karthik.
Tall, kind of curly hair, feel like smiling when she walks.
Lovely voice, hates foul language, wears sari often.
Has a style of her own, hardly uses make-up.
Can look at her, non-stop.
She loves me like crazy.
We have been out a lot on my bike.
She hates watching movies.
l have kissed her.
Her Tamil has a touch of Malayalam.
l flipped for that.
l have held her in my arms for three hours.
l have caressed her feet.
Her name is Jessie, Jessie.
She is still there in my life.
After you left me l moved on, to her.
Can't forget my first love that easily,
but l am not in her life.
She loves her mom and dad a lot.
Don't get me wrong, l appreciate that.
How many girls will feel that way?
Knowing they won't accept me, she left me.
l think she's married.
Whatever, she left me.
l am not married Karthik.
lt's true that l left you, but l am still single.
My dad refused to accept you,
l refused to accept his choice and l landed here.
lt's two and a half years since l came here.
My parents were here last month.
My dad asked me to get married. l refused.
He left in anger.
l haven't moved on Karthik.
l don't have anyone, only you.
True, l agree, first love, can't forget.
There's not a moment you are not with me.
l am sorry l walked away, didn't pick up your calls.
l thought you will move on.
We shouldn't have met, l would have carried on with my life.
Let's get married Jessie. Today, now.
lf we meet ten years later, you'll say "that moment is gone, why didn't you ask me then?".
l'm asking you for the second time, let's get married.
let's get married right now.
Let's start our life together from today.
Okay let's get married.
But what about your parents?
We have been apart only for their sake.
l'll take care, l'll handle it.
let's get married.
This is America.
l can kiss you in the middle of the road.
Please kiss me.
Oh mankind, don't hate the love that has united.
Don't just trample a need that has been united.
Sweetheart, l take you as my soul-mate.
Let's cross the storms, deserts and gardens.
Walk through sunshine and rain together.
l can't think beyond you.
With you as the rainbow, she as the seven colours.
Won't the skies change into a home for you two?
When you both walk hand in hand,
won't evil eyes cast a spell that causes fever?
Sweetheart, l take you as my soul-mate.
Let's cross the storms, deserts and gardens.
Walk through sunshine and rain together.
An afternoon in the endless night.
A tiny piece of night in a long day.
We discovered an art that we mastered.
When and where did we learn that?
Change the earth, skies, wind, fire, water,
make them brand new.
With you as the rainbow, she as the seven colours.
Won't the skies change into a home for you two?
When you both walk hand in hand.
Won't evil eyes cast a spell that causes fever?
Sweetheart, l take you as my soul-mate.
Let's cross the storms, deserts and gardens.
Walk through sunshine and rain together.
l can't think beyond you.
With you as the rainbow... she as the seven colours.
Won't the skies change into a home for you two?
When you both walk hand in hand
Won't evil eyes cast a spell that causes fever?
Doesn't love usually vanish after the wedding?
But love that begins today is endless like the sky.
Teresa, see who's at the door.
l am in the rest room.
Ok, coming.
Hey, they didn't show what the dad said.
Who cares, they got together right?
How's the film?
Awesome.
Light, feel good.
You've done a great job.
Everyone has acted well.
Film is a hit. Doesn't seem like a debut director.
l saw myself on screen.
Even the house looks the same.
l wanted it that way, put up a set like that.
Can't make all the incidents in our life into a film.
l haven't shown anything wrong.
l didn't say that.
Am l such a good person? Not at all.
Okay, the director is here, l'll call you back.
The movie is a hit, good response.
l am going to Sangam theatre now.
Can't say now, will know only on monday.
Everyone seems to know you are talented, except me.
ln away it is good we are not together.
Someone who respects, understands you,
and also what you do, you should marry that person.
This is the sixth film l have seen.
l can't understand or appreciate films.
l'll let you immediatley if l find such a person.
When l saw you in New York, l didn't talk to you,
l just walked away.
My husband was there, Abraham, he was the one who called me.
Felt like sharing this with you.
But you changed it in the film as if l spoke to you.
The scene at Central Park was beautiful.
l loved every single line, l cried.
Don't make me cry.
When my phone rang, l somehow thought it will be you.
How did you get my number?
Watch it in my next film.
l'm sorry Karthik, for everything.
Find someone soon, get married.
Move on, please.
Call me for you next film.
Love.
ls it that easy to find someone?
Can't fall in love just because you ask me to.
lt has to happen of its own accord.
lt has to hit us,
make us spin topsy turvy.
Just like it did, when l met YOU!
When you met ME!
Whatever happened between us,
lt was beautiful.
l like this pain.
Thank you Jessie.
