MyseIf Rahul.
I am 40 years oId.
Normally at this age in one's Iife there comes a big twist.
I also experienced something big.
I mean, reaIly big.
One that changed my life.
ActuaIly Iet's start at the very beginning.
Since l was a kid l have been Iiving in this house with my...
grandfather, grandmother, mother and father.
My parents passed away when l was eight years oId...
My grandparents took care of me.
When l was a child it was quite obvious that I was rather cute.
PeopIe would pull my cheeks and say...
So Sweet!
And this sweetness was in my grandfathers' shop.
Y. Y. MithaiwaIa (Sweet Seller).
In Mumbai, the outIets of our shop, surpassed the greenery.
Brother, pIease pack six samosas and half a kilo of the fried sweet.
Brother!!??
Why?
Why? MithaiwaIa!!
And my grandfather wouId aIso interfere in my IoVe Iife...
at times he wouId caIl...
and at times he himself would show up in person in person.
I never got the chance to be in a relationship...
and cIearIy marriage was out of the question.
Six, six!!
RahuI, did you see the way Sachin plays! Wow!!
Though my grandfather was a die hard fan of Sachin TenduIkar...
he never applied the word 'die' in his life.
Time passed on but he did not.
All my reIatiVes settIed abroad.
And then came 2013.
My grandfathers' 100th birthday!
Apart from my grandfather I haVe two more tragedies in my Iife...
my friends Bobby and SaIim.
Hi Rahul.
Hi.
All set for Goa?
Goa?
Once you reach there don't be naughty at forty huh!
And both of you, mind your own business!
Tanu, can you just help me for a minute here?
What is this new story you two haVe been cooking?
Not just the two, this includes aII of us.
RahuI, it's grandpa's birthday but the gift is for you.
Hot NRI women!
I'Ve aIready spoken to them.
In Goa we will be with them for a 6 days - 7 nights fixed package!
What sort of friends are you? One week!
How will grandpa Iet me go for a week?
Just a minute.
He's an idiot!
- But you are aIso an idiot! - Rahul...
Come here.
Grandpa.
Sir, you come with me.
Yes, grandpa.
Yes, you brought me a gift didn't you?
You haVen't yet opened the gifts giVen by VimaI, Renu and the others..
They are others, not 'ours'.
I am going to be a 100.
I wilI say very important things.
They only Iike me because we're related.
You IoVe me which is why we are reIated!
I wonder what will happen to you once pass on.
Grandpa...
Here we go! I've also begun to talk about Ieaving...
its hardly my age to taIk of Ieaving...
Why do we taIk about what is to happen 20 to 25 years later.
Come on, giVe it to me.
Yes.
Wow!
A bat autographed by Sachin!
Come on, hit!
It was Rahul's idea to open a franchise of your shop in Goa.
Yes go ahead and open it. Why are you wasting your time here?
Grandpa, we have aIready seen an amazing land plot in Panjim.
We are going with RahuI to finalize the pIot.
Go.
Oh come on, Sachin, hit it beyond the boundary!
Six! Sachin is on 99.
Sachin is on 99!!
What grandma? So much excitement for a century.
It's just a game. He wiII make it again.
Grandpa!
Both grandpa and Sachin were knocked out at 99!
It was a strange feeIing.
But then I read somewhere that...
a person's death is already predestined before his birth.
I thought to myself if what has to...
happen has already happened what difference does it make?
After all grandpa was alive...
since the inVention of aII lndia radio to the advent of Twitter.
He lived a good life.
That's it!
At that very moment...
I had made a decision.
Goa is on!
Grandma, l want to do something more in life.
I want to do something my heart teIls me to do.
I cannot handIe Y. Y. Mithaiwala now.
Grandma, eVen l have some dreams. Till now I've just let my age catch on.
But now I want to see the world and Iearn things.
Grandma, l reaIIy want to live life on my own terms.
RahuI, with the property you've aIready begun to Iive Iife on your own terms.
LiVe your Iife the way you want to, nobody is stopping you.
But you wiIl have to do me a faVor.
Yes teIl me, grandma.
It was your grandfather's Iast wish...
that after he died...
half of his ashes would be immersed into the Ganga...
and the other half in Rameshwaram.
Rameshwaram?
Yes. I wilI go aIong with Anshu and immerse his ashes into the Ganga...
but you wiIl have to go to Rameshwaram to pour out the other haIf of his ashes.
Grandma, me?
Yes, you!
This was your grandfather's Iast wish, you will haVe to fuIfil it.
This Rameshwaram is at the end of lndia!
That too in the exact opposite direction as Goa!
One minute guys!
Salim, give me that.
The waters of Goa must be fIowing up to Rameshwaram, right?
What do you mean?
What he means is that if we pour out Grandpa's ashes in the waters of Goa...
It wiII eVentuaIIy float and reach Rameshwaram.
Yes, but Goa and Rameshwaramare miIes away.
Oh, we are going to make them coincide..
What does that mean?
Goa is on!
Yes, RahuI.
Bobby, change of pIan.
What? You're coming to Goa right?
Of course, l'm coming.
But to fooI grandma we haVe to begin our journey by train.
What?
Grandma is going to come to see me off.
So in the next two hours l wiII buy a ticket to any train going to South India.
I wilI get on the train, and l will get off at the kaIyan station.
You guys wait for me there, we wiII travel by road from there.
Which means, Goa is on!
Let's go, grandpa.
Chennai Express?
Yes, Chennai Express.
As much as l know, l don't think Chennai Express goes to Rameshwaram.
You did not understand.
Didn't I teIl you that l want to spend more time with grandpa?
So I am taking the Iong route not the wrong route.
I wilI get off at Chennai and take the road to Rameshwaram.
RahuI...
do you know why I am taking your grandpa's ashes to the Ganga?
It's because I don't trust anyone here.
But I have complete faith...
that you will immerse your grandpa's ashes...
with most sincerity in the waters of Rameshwaram.
I did not Iike lying to grandma one bit.
But by then, I had already done that.
Hello.
RahuI, where are you, man? We haVe aIready reached Kalyan.
Yes, I'm aIready in the train after bidding fareweII to Grandma.
I wilI be reaching shortly.
RahuI's arriVed.
RahuI, where were you?
I'Ve come, right?
- Now it's going to be fun! - Yes!!
- Ash! - What happened now?
The ashes!
Granpa's ash!
No RahuI... No.
- Granpa! - Rahul, listen to us!
Thanks.
No, It's okay.
I'Ve done this before.
ActuaIly I've. Sorry l should go.
Meenamma, what did you think?
That you could get away from us?
What you are doing is totally wrong!
Don't try to preach to us.
Excuse me. What are you guys fighting about?
PeopIe miss catching trains, because of you people I missed my platform.
Hi!
Meenama.
It's aII right.
Hi.
That's my seat.
My seat - um.
May I?
Thank you.
Sorry!
Sorry to you, sir. One second...
Take it out... nonsense.
I am sorry.
I am a littIe fat.
It's mine.
Hello.
RahuI, where are you?
I am in the train.
In the train?
I didn't have the chance to get out.
So, this is what we are going to do...
we wiII meet at Karjat Station.
And Iisten...
don't worry about me...
I'Ve got great company.
You found her, huh?
Yes, she is sitting right in front of me.
What hair!
What amazing eyes!
What Iips!
You are naming parts of her body in front of her...
does she not have her sandaIs on?
She doesn't understand Hindi.
Hey wait, she's looking at me.
She's probabIy looking at me with Iove.
Make sure you check she's not blind.
Shut up man.
But its possibIe that she may get bIinded by my love.
Okay Iisten, Iets meet at Karjat Station na...
till then I will keep myseIf busy here.
Hopefully, I should be abIe to get her along.
When l saw you l knew my dear...
that IoVe is crazy my dear...
Now where do l go...
What makes you think don't understand Hindi?
The ones who you helped are here to kidnap me.
kidnap?
I'm in big trouble.
So wiII you heIp me?
So that they don't suspect anything...
talk to me through songs.
Grant me forgiveness, for I haVe wronged you.
I had no idea you knew the Ianguage.
I wilI do as you say now.
Since l've made a mistake, I should pay the penalty.
Hi...
Don't you worry!
I am here!
Meenamma.
You sing.
So you go to... go to the toilet.
So you go to... you go to the toilet.
Toilet...
but why are you sending me to the toilet?
What is it that you intend to do, tell me?
Your...
I wilI use your phone to make a caII.
I wilI inform my friends.
Toilet toiIet... go to the toilet.
Toilet!
Call! Nature's call.
Hello, Nature? l am calling...
How are you?
RahuI...
you must not haVe heard the name before.
Phone.
Nokia Lumia 920.
Advanced floating Iens technoIogy.
Fat boy piIIow recharge.
WireIess recharging docking station.
High quaIity audio in retro styIing.
Rupees 34,249.
Can I make a caII from this?
Of course, you can.
Meenamma, what did you think...
You wouId caII and we wouldn't notice?
What the heck? That was my phone.
My friends are waiting for me at the karjat Station, how will I contact them?
35,000 rupee phone!
Okay... 34,249.
I wilI sue you!
That was my phone, my phone!
Meenamma, what is he saying?
It was his phone.
If l knew that earlier...
I wouId have thrown him out with the phone.
What pai pai is he doing?
He's saying had they known the phone beIonged to you...
they wouId throw you out with the phone.
Oh really?
Is this your father's kingdom? Are you trying to scare me?
Are you threatening me?
I wilI show you!
Meenamma!
Enough! This is too much.
You haVe made me so angry that l wiII sit down.
And if l sit down don't think I won't be abIe to stand up again.
And if l stand up don't think...
I cannot sit down again.
And I forgive you for the mobile too.
I can buy out the entire mobiIe company if I want to.
4G, 5G, I haVe a Iot of money.
Poor peopIe.
Okay!
Ticket.
Brother, Ticket.
No.
What ille? no?
Ticket No.
If you don't have a ticket then you will have to pay a fine.
I have my ticket.
You call this a ticket.
If you don't have a ticket then you will have to pay a fine.
From where have you boarded the train?
Are they with you?
Listen to me very carefuIIy TC...
don't take it easy on these hooligans.
Something is very, very fishy.
Fishy?
I swear alI four of them are carrying long weapons.
These four friends haVe abducted this girl and taking her very far away.
Very carefuIly.
Come on, get up.
Come, come.
Come on.
Hey... song?
Hey... song...
Now you will be in troubIe.
You can go to jail and pIay ping pong!
You think you are king kong?
What aaa?
Don't underestimate the power of a common man.
And Meenamma, you are on my watch now.
Now the TC is on our side...
you see how he straightens them out.
Enough!
This is too much.
You aIl have made me so angry that now l have to sit.
You sing and dance.
We are going by Chennai Express.
You Iaugh and cry. We are going by Chennai Express.
Meenamma?
WhateVer happened with the TC, you are the soI witness to it.
That is why you wiII come with us to komban viIlage on Chennai Express.
On Chennai Express!
All my hearts wishes were washed away with these ashes.
I had come to Goa to wash away the ashes but instead drowned the TC.
My friends tried to get in touch with me.
But they could not track me down because...
my 35,000 rupee celI phone was Iying somewhere on a train track..
Okay 34,249!
I want to sIeep.
Okay... you sleep.
Periyanna, check on the next station.
I am hungry.
Okay.
Meenamma...
what is happening?
I cannot understand a thing.
You are scolding your kidnappers?
And they are quietIy Iistening to you?
I'm confused!
I wilI clear your confusion.
Thank you.
Let me start by introducing myself.
My name is Meena Lochini Adhaghu Sundaram.
Hello.
Daughter of Durgeshwara Adhagh Sundaram.
My father is a highIy respected man in the Komban area.
Good...
He is a... you know periyathaIai.
PeriyathaIai... Teacher?
No.
Don!
These four are Iistening to my pechi because...
- Pechi? - TaIk.
Talk... pechi.
So they were listening to me talk because they're my father's goons.
Goons... goons?
Yes but don't worry they are my cousin brother.
Oh! It's Iike that.
So mean okay! You can't do that.
Sorry.
My father had asked them to kidnap me and bring me back to Komban.
Oh God!
That means your father is the Godfather of the South.
Yes.
And he wants my kalyanam to be done.
kal...
You know marriage.
Yes, Marriage.
With TangabaIIi.
Tingabilla? What is Tingabilla?
Yes, that is why l ran away!
I didn't understand.
TangabalIi is my father's friend's son.
Okay.
If l get married then my father will own his friend's VilIage too.
Okay.
Then father wiII become doubIe powerfuI.
Good.
That's why my father wants to get me married.
I don't even want to get married.
He just doesn't understand!
Now did you understand the entire situations?
No.
This is your father, your goons, your marriage; what's my fauIt?
The probIem is also yours, kidnapping is aIso yours...
that ppppaammbbb...kkambb village is aIso yours and it's my neck on the Iine?
That means, what is yours is mine?
No, Meenamma.
PeopIe fly kites in the air, your goons throw mobiIes and TCs in the air!
I was quietIy and happiIy going to Goa.
Goa is on! But no!
Take the Chennai Express. Huh?
Now my whole...whoIe Iife is ruined!
I am ruined!
At night I thought of running away!
When l opened my eyes in the morning...
- WiII you have an IdIi? - No.
Just need to go.
- WiII you eat? - No, just need to go.
Why is he not eating ldlis?
Inspector sir...
Wake up...
Inspector sir. I am being kidnapped.
kidnapped by 4 cousin brothers...
Please come and catch them. They are criminals.
Periya.
What officer...
Did you hear the sound of this chicken?
He said...
Have you ever heard chickens?
- Check, if there anything to eat? - Okay.
Meenamma...
that policeman instead of heIping me, he...
my father's reign begins from here.
The policemen are helpless.
What? What do you mean?
It means that no one can do anything to these four.
That means from here on anything can happen to me?
Yes.
That means l could even Iose my life here?
- Yes. - All you are saying is - yes!
Do you know you should never teII a dying person that he's about to die.
At least give me some sort of faIse hope that I will be saved.
Okay.
You can be saved.
Feeling better?
Feeling better!
Now along with Grandpa's ashes my ashes wilI also be washed away.
I don't know why I gaVe you my hand?
You gaVe me your hand?
In a bid to save myseIf I was running, why did you heIp those four?
Had I known that your brothers were goons...
I wouId have kicked them instead of helping them.
Anyway, you are the root cause of this entire probIem.
EVer since you've come into my life, my Iife sucks!
- What?- Sucks!
- Same here. - Okay.
Why have you come to me?
You've come to my side.
Forget about sides, Meenamma. Come to the point.
Is there any way for the two of us to get out? TeII me, please!
- Please! - Yes, there is.
What is it? Please teIl me...
But you wiIl have to do as l say.
As if eVerything was going my way tiIl now.
I'll do it, tell me what has to be done?
Once we reach Komban, in front of my father...
wheneVer l look towards you, you just nod your head.
Okay. Nod what?
- Head. - What?
- Head! - Okay.
Nod my head.
I wilI eat idIis, I will eat dosas, I wilI nod my head.
I wilI eat dosas...
I am okay...
Take the Chennai express.
Hey Chinna...
We reached our Village... come!
Let's go.
What are you doing?
Meenamma, why did he puII the chain?
When we arrive at my village we pull the chain.
Don't worry, it's very common.
The station begins from where we stand.
Come on!
Hey... move on!
Who is this?
Father.
How many times wiII you try to escape!
Why are you doing this? For what?
I don't want to marry Tangaballi...
Meena kept making her father understand, emotionaIIy.
Her father heard what Meena had to say.
I am in love with somebody.
Who is he?
And I was...
He.
And I was as cIueless as you alI are.
He loves me too.
Am I right?
The pIan was to just nod my head. That is why...
After such a reaction one thing was certain.
In the future, I wouIdn't be abIe to nod my head...
because it wouId be cut off!
My dear...
Is Tamil your mother tongue?
What is your father asking me about my mother?
He's asking you if TamiI is your mother tongue?
Appa, he settled in the North...
I wilI teach him TamiI after our marriage.
Meena likes this boy...bring him.
Meenamma, l thought they were going to kill me...
but your fathers goons Iifted me up on their shoulders.
Passing the parcel. ShouIder to shoulder.
What did you say to them?
I just told them three lies.
You Iied?
At least teII me what you said?
My first lie was that we are very much in love with each other.
What?
My second lie was that we wanted to get married to each other.
What!
That's when you nodded your head.
Yes, I nodded. But that...
So aII of them haVe accepted this?
No.
The pIan only worked when l toId them the third lie.
What was that?
That you Iived up north since you were a chiId
which is why you don't know TamiI.
He thought my story was genuine.
So they've gone to the viIlage to decide about our future.
Not to decide on the future but to destroy my future.
I am not going to be a part of this.
Hey brother...
Think about it RahuI, I wilI get married.
- But that is my problem! - Go brother go.
At first there were just four of them running after you...
now the whole village will chase you.
I did aIl this drama so we couId buy some time.
We wiIl run away as soon as we get an opportunity at night.
Run away...
Don't worry, I have a lot of experience in running away.
My family.
Meena's smalI famiIy reminded me of the popuIation in China.
Meena began teIling them the story of Chennai Express.
As the story progressed everyone seemed to be more impressed with me.
But I was depressed.
My mind was stressed.
The pIace where l had arrived was a very dangerous one!
EVeryone was treating me weII.
But a goat is aIso weIl fed before it is sacrificed!
98... 982136... 98213...
I'Ve asked Bobby to geta fancy number many times...
but no, he'll just be cheap.
All the mobile service providers I tried to contact were aII
to my brain...
This mobiIe technoIogy definitely connected us with our mothers and sisters but...
it had also messed with our heads.
At first when there were no mobile phones...
then we would remember aIl teIephone numbers.
Now that we have a mobiIe phone we don't remember any numbers!
Meena...
So when do we get out of here?
Meena, don't ignore this please.
This drama has gone on for too Iong, it's quite enough now.
- l'm Iosing patience. - Rahul.
Hello sir.
Coffee... I was asking...
Coffee.
- Get him a coffee. - Thank you, sir.
Coffee.
The food is ready, caIl everybody.
Madhi, come here.
RahuI.
Oh no!
Hello.
Hey, you are so smart.
What are you jabbering on in TamiI? Talk in Hindi.
Hey, you are very beautifuI.
Wow, you Iearnt Tamil in a day? I Iove you so much.
Hey... l am not this sort of a guy... Please!
- Meena. - Rahul.
- Madhi. - Puvi.
They came.
We just foIIowed them.
Yes...
Let's go.
You naughty...
What's the hurry?
You naughty!
Meena l want to get out of here, please do something.
Do?? Naughty!!
Not naughty.
Do in fine? Vanakkam.
Coffee?
Oh man! Joking!
Singh.
We need to take a decision in some of these matters.
A Punjabi? Here?
We need to take a decision in some matter.
So we should think and take a decision.
You are right...
but teIl Meennamma that...
This Punjabi man is speaking in TamiI.
with the boy she should not...
giVe me a minute...
This is just great, you're Rahul right?
Yes, how did you know?
It's the work of poIicemen, to identify a corpse.
A corpse? But l am still..
If it's not been done already, it wiII be done.
Anyways, myseIf inspector Samsher from Punjab.
- Okay, Sir. - Which part?
Which part? The whole body my friend.
I'm in charge of this area.
You haVe a lot of guts.
Fell in love with Meena, knowing that you'II be in the bad books of TangabaIIi.
Oh no, not at aII. PeopIe here have misunderstood.
ActuaIly these guys want to frame me.
You will be framed up on this waII...
and a garIand will aIso be pIaced on your photograph.
Garland! No sir. This is against the law.
Here you go, you should have thought about all this before falling in Iove!
TangabalIi...
I have heard that this time somebody has come with Meena.
Yes! What can we do?
What is he saying?
TangabalIi is asking about you.
What is the father saying?
The father is saying you are the one because...
of who Meena keeps running away from home time and again.
Oh not me!
My marriage with Meena was already fixed.
You are right my dear...
Now what is he saying?
The father is saying his first choice for Meena is Tangaballi but he is helpIess.
What can he do if Meena's first choice is you!? No, no...
- No...- Yes!
I am not here to decide what is right and wrong...
it's a prestige issue.
Sir, what is he saying now?
The father is saying that...
to soIve this matter now they will aIl get together and take a decision.
Not him, what is the giant saying?
He's saying...
Now it's not about right or wrong...
It's a matter of his prestige.
If it's a matter of his prestige...
then why is he trying to take away mine?
Sir, don't worry. I can handIe this.
Hi.
Are you the one who wants to marry Meena?
Yeah.
At least hear him out...
Who do you think you are? A hero?
Yeah.
Its okay, he is joking with me...
If you are a reaI man, fight with me!
Natural! God's gift! Like you...
We fight tonight...
If you win, Meena is yours...
If l win Meena is mine.
What do you say?
Yo Bro.
He is so taII right! What gibberish was he taIking?
I can't hear you - pIease speak up. Don't be scared.
He has chaIlenged you.
What?
You and he wiII haVe a fight tonight.
Why?
- WhoeVer wins, wiII get Meena. - Why?
My friend you haVe just accepted the challenge!!
But I don't even understand TamiI, I just nod my head.
You came here alive.
Okay.
You will not leave here aIive.
Never sir.
I wilI cut you into severaI pieces and parcel it.
Tingu sir, that's what I'm saying, peace, IoVe, affection, friendship, Gandhi.
Why didn't you teII me what he was saying before?
You were tickling me instead!
- Let's see. - What?
- We will see. - What?
We wiIl see.
Who is stronger.
Who is stronger?
What do you mean who is stronger, sir?
I am not at all strong. Make them understand.
RahuI!
Sit.
- l know there's a little problem. - A little probIem?
The fight has been fixed for tonight with that TV tower Tingu.
And your father also wants to find out who amongst the two of us is stronger..
- Strong? - Yes, strong...
Look Meenamma... if l get angry...
Then what wilI you do Rahul?
I wilI commit suicide.
I wilI consume poison..
tie a noose around my neck and be run over by the Chennai Express.
- No. - The train is caIIing me.
RahuI... RahuI!
- Don't panic. - But he's so tall.
I wilI make a pIan to run away tonight.
He's very hairy and scary.
- TilI then you remain normal. - No l cannot remain normal.
Normal Rahul
- Normal!- Okay.
I am normaI.
You pIace a time bomb inside a person and ask them to be normaI!
Okay, l am normal. Hi, I am NormaI.
You must have heard that name before.
- Meenamma! - Yes.
So many peopIe.
They are preparing for your fight with TangabaIIi.
I know... but how are we going to get away with so many people around?
Don't worry.
My escape plan is ready.
It's ready? What is it?
You just go out and behave normaI.
- l am normal.- Normal.
I wilI come in a while and signaI to you.
- Okay. - Then the two of us wiII run away.
Till then you don't make any mistakes.
No mistakes.
I am normaI.
No mistakes.

Meena Lochini Azzadddddha Sundaram.
Addresses are shorter than this name!
I had gone on a hoIiday, and you took me on a trip!
No, I won't nod my head now.
Nope!
Hey pot king!
Why are you sitting on that bike and staring at me?
I had full pIans of having fun, because of your ashes...
I'Ve gotten into so much trouble.
Grandpa, I had full pIans to immerse your ashes in the waters of Goa but...

Why? Y. Y. MithaiwaIa?
Hey brother...

You were scaring me by showing me your gun, weren't you?
Now l wilI also show you something. Look!

Fatty.
Hey Don!
You threaten me?
Wait.

No right? So then?
Boss!
Mr. Durgeshwara Azzadddddha Sundaram.
TamiI is not my mother tongue!
Enamma kanne?

The station is on the opposite side.
Tomorrow morning at 5:30 you need to leave by the first train.
Understood?
And don't telI anyone that I helped you.

Oh my God! Earthquake!
Sir!
Life of Pi?
Hey! Look!
How did you come here? From where have you come?
- Where is this boat going? - Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka! Why?
To get diesel.
Have you gone mad? Why are you going to Sri Lanka to get diesel?
We're going to Sri Lanka to smuggle dieseI.
Smuggling! But that is iIIegaI.
EVerything is fair when one has to surviVe.
If the Sri Lanka Marine police catch us, we will be jaiIed.
If the lndian Marine police catch us, we wiII be jailed here.
If poIice don't catch us, aIl is well.
Oil is welI!!
Help me, I'Ve gotten on to the wrong boat.
Bring out the gun. Get me the gun.
Help me!
Gun!
Why are you taking out a gun? This is illegal. Don't do that!
Very good, sir, well done, sir. Catch them and arrest them.
You're the first smuggler who is so happy about being arrested.
No, sir. I'm not a smuggler.
I am not with them, sir.
I am an Indian, sir.
Okay. Then show me your passport!
Passport! Why, sir?
To verify whether you are an lndian or Sri Lankan.
These are international waters.
International waters!
But sir, I am not with them.
I talk in Hindi, sir, Hindi!!
We can aIso taIk in Hindi.
Listen in Hindi!
What? We aII speak in Hindi!
Sir, he's one of our men.
- And you are my woman! - What?
Shut up.
What are you Iooking at? Arrest him.
What does that mean?
They say if you suffix word, Ji, ( Yes)to any other word...
you gain respect.
Refu... Ji.
I did not gain anything!
Here my fate was being written by my grandpa sitting in heavens...
whereas Meena's fatewas being written by her father.
He decided to get her married off to TangabaIIi.
Meena was neither happy with it nor was it her choice.
Who wouId have thought that the tip of India...
wouId begin a new chapter in Meena's and my Iife.
Brother, what are you Iooking at with such fear?
- ls this yours? - Yes.
I'm sure there is RDX in this.
He is... no he was!
I mean it was!
My grandfather is in it...
I mean my grandfather's ashes are in that..
Allow me to show you.
Don't move.
Okay, Sir...
I have been teIIing you that I am not a smuggler, haVen't I?
I'm an lndian.
My name is Rahul and I'm not a terrorist.
You know, sir I came from Mumbai to immerse my grandfather's ashes, that's all.
I told the police everything truthfulIy.
My history. The geography of my travel.
And my chemistry with the peopIe of komban.
After hearing aII this, alI the Marine poIice officer said was...
So, the people of komban know you, right?
- HeIIo sir! - HeIIo, dummy.
So nice to see you...
your fellow brothers are dropping me to Mumbai.
GiVe me a hug!
You Ieft me right?
Because of some smuggIers I went away to Sri Lanka.
You didn't go away. You came back...
to komban.
How can that happen?
Look...
Look there...
- All the best. - Brother, me too.
Catch him.
What are you doing, man? Please.
Sir, pIease Ieave me for heaven's sake!
Namaste, sir.
Namaste.
Do you know him?
know him?
We know him.
- Periya. - Yes.
He is our famiIy member, isn't it?
Yes, he is one of us.
Hey, where had you disappeared?
There's such tension since you went missing.
Oh family!! So you are an Indian after all.
I wilI release you here and leave.
Officer, you cannot leave me here and go.
I am Sri lankan.
I am Sri... Devi
Ennama kannu...
referee?
No, sir l meant, PeriyathaIe sir...
What... hanger?
I meant strong sir.
- Michellin Tyre? - No, sir.
Chewing gum, huh?
Sweet, sir. l mean sweet.
Do not step forward. I am warning you.
I wilI cut aII bonds of friendship.
Hold this.
Nobody come forward.
If anybody comes forward, l wiIl...
cut myseIf.
Okay, cut yourself.
Cut yourseIf.
I wilI cut Meenamma.
Stop.
I wilI cut Meenamma.
Meenamma, open the door.
Don't move any of you!
Move!
What do I do?
Sorry, Tingu sir. Sorry.
Catch him.
- Come on, get out. - What?
First you get drunk and run away aIl by yourself.
Then you get into troubIe and use me to...
get out of it and then you say get out of the car.
Yes that's what l said. Get out pIease.
I won't get out. This car beIongs to my father.
If you don't get out, I wilI take you back there.
Then from Miss you wilI become Mrs.
Before that, from Rahul you will become Late Rahul.
No! I mean, l don't think there's any parking here, Iets go.
What happened? Has the vehicle broken down?
No, who told you that?
- What is with the smoke, then? - Smoke?
The car is smoking a cigarette.
And do you know why I came outside?
I thought to myself, that l couId wait and relax here and TangabalIi wouId come by.
And, when he does come, the three of us can pIay together.
Can't you see?
Your father's car is even worse than your Hindi.
You haVe wrecked the car!
Don't caII this a car, it'd be a sin to calI this a car.
This car has saved your Iife.
It's not a car, it's a wreck!
My father's favorite car!
Go...
Catch it, RahuI...
Catch it, RahuI. What are you... run.
It's Appa's favorite car, RahuI. Catch.
Oh no!
Here you go...
Here, Meenamma baby.
Your father's faVorite car.
ActuaIly the problem wasn't your father's, neither was it his wrecked car...
the problem is yours.
You see wherever you go, you carry a free trouble pack aIong with you.
Bad Iuck! ActuaIly you are like a bIack cat.
Worse than a bIack cat!
If you cross the path of the bIack cat, the bIack cat wiII get cursed.
Then why are you with me?
Why am I with you?
Why are you with me?
Please, Meenamma. Stop stalking me.
From now on. I wilI go my way, you go your way!
Alright. Fine by me.
But by the way. You stoIe the car and drove in the wrong direction.
Now we have only one way out.
You will have to cross komban again! Komban!
Don't scare me with Komban.
If you are not with me, I wilI manage on my own, Iike this!
ImpossibIe.
There's no word caIIed impossibIe in my dictionary.
ReaIIy? From where did you buy sucha rubbish dictionary?
Don't underestimate the power of a common man.
Get Iost.
I thought l wouId never meet Meenamma ever again...
but fate had decreed something else altogether.
Hello, sir.
I need to find the road.
Where... is... the highway?
Okay.
Why are you doing that?
I want to see the road.
Where is the highway?
Okay.
Meaning.
Meaning!
My child, quiet.
Don't take so much trouble. I feeI bad, then.
The two of us haVe the same probIem.
At this age there is no need for a new Ianguage.
Okay.
Excuse me brother.
Brother, stop.
Brother, hello
What do you want? What is your work here?
I'm not AngeIina JoIie.
I'm a boy, Rahul. I need a lift!
You're from Mumbai right?
How do you know so much about me?
The entire South knows you.
One fair boy has eloped with Durgeshwara Azagsundaram's daughter in a car.
Oh no, what have you done!
Today you are in a car tomorrow you will be the headIine of a newspaper.
No, Iisten to me.
You don't know, the ViIIage peopIe are chasing you with sticks!
Once you're caught...
they will separate your head from your body and put that as a headline!
Let it be... ls it their kingdom?
The girl you have eIoped with, this is her father's kingdom!
Brother, pIease help me.
Go away.
Brother heIp me.
I am AngeIina Jolie!
Brother!
I became numb after hearing this...
I couId see the road ahead...
But there was no way out.
Except one.
Meenamma...
What is it?
What?
You've come back to me after all?
Figured it out, didn't you? How does it feeI to be aIone?
Look at your face.
It seems Iike you are getting a fever because you are so frightened.
Come on now, l'Ve come to take you.
We wiIl go together. Come! Come!
Again you'Ve taken the wrong route.
This is the safer route, that side you wiIl find Tangaballi.
Come on!
Listen, I can save you.
Listen don't underestimate the power of a common man!
Vidamba viIlage.
Come on.
A wedding ceremony is going on here.
We wiIl roam around here and speak to people.
We can stay here for a few days...
till then father and TangabalIi's tension wiII get a bit diffused..
Then why are you standing here and taIking Ms. Subtitle.
Go, go ahead and taIk to peopIe.
So much style!!
Why don't you go and taIk?
I can talk.
This 'Kunjam kunjam'... what?
Apadiya sapadiya po.
Your grandfather can go take a hike! (ln Marathi)
You speak in Marathi too?
Why? lf you can speak in TamiI, why can't l speak in Marathi?
Oh mother! Meenamma. For now just go and talk in Tamil.
Ready steady go!
It seemed very pIeasant. As though nothing couId go wrong.
Once bitten, twice shy...
that's why this time l did not nod in agreement to anything!
The second time when the viIIagers looked at me...
Now what happened?
Hey hey, don't come in front of me...
Open the window. Let the fresh air in.
Here is the towel and some cIothes.
Rest well.
In the morning, after your bath, we wiII arrange the prayers.
Rest well. Take care of him. Bye. -Thanks.
You know, a film should be made on me.
I Iaugh my way into a mess.
WheneVer peopIe are wiIIing to gladIy lift me upon their shouIders...
I know l am in a trouble.
And you, Meenamma...
what are the lies you haVe spun around this time?
I told them we got married and ran away.
Have you copyrighted this story of getting married and running away?
Then what did you say?
The second lie that...
I told them was that you are so good that you will never IeaVe me and go.
Never!
You only said that you wouldn't Ieave me.
Yes.
Then l said you got so tired with the journey that you felt faint.
That's why...
Head!!
That's why l'm getting this speciaI treatment.
No.
The speciaI treatment is because l toId them...
the reason why we eIoped is because my father has a huge problem...
with you being poor and me being rich.
Yeah.
I am very rich.
- Of course. - And you are a Sweet SeIIer.
How did you know I was a Sweet SeIIer?
What?
You are a Sweet SeIIer?
No.
Say.
Yes.
I am a Sweet SeIIer.
What is so funny about that?
A Sweet Seller is better than being a Don.
You understand? Quiet.
Okay... Very funny.
That means my third Iie is actuaIIy the truth.
Very funny. You are making fun of me now?
Earlier, your father made a fool out of me.
What a great father daughter combination.
I wonder how your mother tolerates the two of you.
Does she ever protest or does she also...
I don't have a mother.
She passed away.
I am sorry.
I had no idea.
I am really very sorry.
I know what it feels Iike to not have a mother.
Why?
Your mother?
They died in a car accident.
I was eight years old then.
Since then you'Ve been aIl alone?
I am sorry.
No.
It's aIright!
ActuaIly I never reaIIy missed my parents because...
my grandparents took their pIace. Especially grandpa.
He was aIways happy when l was happy.
He couldn't live without me.
RahuI this Rahul that... RahuI...
He was aIways there for me!
My grandpa.
Still RahuI...
to go through fifty years of your life without parents...
it's not an easy thing!
Yes Meenamma, it is hard, but...
Fifty years?
Yes.
Do I Iook Iike I'm fifty years oId?
Why? You're not?
Don't teII me you're more than that?
I get it.
Pathetic, corny joke.
Bloody single screen humour!
Because you have no class. You are cheap.
You are cheap!
Meenamma, will you sIeep on the floor?
This is not for me, it's for you.
Why?
Won't you be able to controI yourself if l sleep with you on the bed?
Shut up, okay! l have a problem.
Yes exactIy, you won't be abIe to control yourseIf.
- Stop your nonsense. - What does that mean?
- lt means stop your nonsense. - Do?
Oh my naughty! Aunty! Remember! Do...
I wilI sleep on the bed because I am your spouse...
your husband.
Your mate and don't they say that there is no business Iike show-her business.
Come on Meenamma. Let us sIeep-amma.
Fine, sleep if you want.
Don't teII me I didn't warn you.
It's quite Iate at night. I can giVe no guarantees.
RahuI, think about yourself you will be taken advantage of...
tonight because your wife has no controI.
Shut up.- Baby good night. Don't let the bed bugs bite.
TangabalIi... don't come closer.
I wilI kick you.
TangabalIi... don't come closer.
I wilI kick you.
I wilI not IeaVe you.
I'm sorry but I don't know your Ianguage.
Do not come cIoser.
Do not come cIoser... I wilI kick you.
Help me.
Meena has gone crazy. Meena has gone mad.
Meena has gone mad!
Didn't I teIl you not to sleep next to me?
Childhood problem...
I kick in my sleep.
Am I your father's scooter that you wiII kick?
You're not the daughter of a don. You're the daughter of a donkey!
Sorry...
Come and sleep now!
Never... I wilI never sleep with you.
You're mad!
Get Iost.
You get lost.
Are you dressed up for your morning jog?
No.
It's the viIIage rituaI for newlyweds.
RituaI?
The husband carries his wife in his arms, up the steps to the tempIe.
They believe it strengthens the maritaI bond.
Okay.
Are you strong?
What is the need to be strong to watch a ritual?
We don't have to watch, we have to do it.
We are husband and wife for them.
No, I will not be forced into doing anything.
No... the situation is like that.
What?
- ObIigation! - What obIigation?
Do you want to stay here or not?
Yes, I want to stay.
Then you will haVe to carry me. You won't drop me right?
Meenamma, perhaps you are forgetting.
Don't underestimate the power of a...
Sweet SeIIer?
Common man.
Where is the temple?
Meenamma, where is the tempIe?
We wiIl reach the temple after climbing three hundred steps.
Three hundred!
I wilI reach heaven after climbing a hundred.
What happened?
Where has the power of the common man gone?
Meenamma please!
I know you wiII drop me after fifty.
Never!
Don't underestimate the common of a power man...
I mean the power of a common man.
RahuI, you carried your wife to the temple...
Bravo.
Meena, he will take care of you all your Iife.
What is he saying?
He's saying that you've proved you wiII Iook after me for the rest of our lives.
Ya.
Raaja, may you IiVe for a hundred years.
you both will Iive together for seven generations.
Miss Subtitle. What?
They believe that the couples who are abIe to complete this rituaI...
God will keep them together for the next seven Iives.
Why haven't you put kumkum?
What is he saying?
Without the vermilIion the ritual is not complete.
What? You shouId've mentioned it earlier.
That means alI of this has gone to waste?
My hands and my hips are hurting so much!
Put this kumkum my son.
Oh! She's got it.
Thank you, aunty. Thank you very much.
No, RahuI.
What happened?
This rituaI won't be complete without the vermillion.
These people wiIl take us out from here.
Come on and Iisten. Hurry up.
We haVe to descend 300 steps and this time you wiII heIp me.
My heart, Iike a butterfly has taken flight far away
With sweet fragrances it has gone to stay
I have never feIt this way a ray of light
kisses the darkness away
My heart, Iike a butterfly has taken fIight far away... Far, far away
ShouId I say it in words or inscribe it on the sky
Praise be to you
My heart, Iike a butterfly has taken flight far away
With sweet fragrances it has gone to stay
Your deep brown eyes
Tease me with a glance
Your soothing words can
Also put the birds in a trance
A littIe incompIete without you,
Now l feeI complete
Your simpIicity has swept me off my feet
My heart, Iike a butterfly has taken fIight far away... Far, far away
ShouId I say it in words or inscribe it on the sky
Praise be to you
What happened Rahul?
What? l am packing.
Why?
Do you on liVing here in this Vidamba Village?
Look Meenamma, this is enough.
We wiIl quietly slip away without teIling anyone.
Otherwise these people will keep making us do weird rituaIs.
- You also get ready. Let's go - No RahuI.
If we run away from here then what will the viIIagers think?
They will think that we've run away.
It's no big deaI. Come on. You aIso get ready.
It's about the villagers feelings RahuI.
They will feel hurt!
What about when they find out that we lied about being married?
Will they help anyone the next time?
Will these peopIe be able to trust anyone again?
As it is...
Do you want to stay here? Is that it?
I'Ve noticed that...
ever since you've started playing the roIe of being my wife...
you haVe been haVing a Iot of fun.
Look, just because I put vermiIIion on your head...
doesn't mean you start getting serious about it.
- That was a stupid rituaI. - Rahul!
Only you can think this way!
Have you thought about how the viIIagers would feel?
Forget the Village, haVe you thought about your grandmother's feeIings?
Didn't you say that your grandfather had replaced your parents.
And what did you do?
You changed the pIace where he wanted his ashes immersed.
- Rameshwaram to Goa! - Yes! l changed the place.
Do you know why?
Because I... I don't have any feeIings.
I am bad... actuaIIy... l am a Very bad man!
Only you are very good, these villagers are very good...
Grandma is. Grandpa is.
And a bad person has no right to stay amongst good peopIe.
So I'II just go. You know what, you keep this with you.
You are good, he was good.
All of you make a company of good peopIe and IiVe together.
I am not going to live in this VilIage right.
Spare me pIease!
EVen though I was mad, I had a sinking feeling...
about leaving Meenamma all aIone.
You've come?
RahuI! This...
This is too much!
One minute, yes. One minute.
I'll come there.
Hi Tangaballi sir.
You and me...
No personal enmity here, sir.
Why take me, go to Komban village and kilI?
No point, sir.
You've... you've got your lady, sir.
Leave me.
I ready steady go, sir!
Sir!
What?
From my heart, sir.
I am speaking from my heart, sir.
Forgive me and forget me.
Throw it away, sir.
Do whatever you want with your Iady, sir.
Do... do get married.
Do what you want to do, sir.
Just Iet me go. Thank you.
Sir, she's your girl.
You can sing any song you want to with her.
Now Meena is aIl yours, my friend.
Hey you!
You're a number stupid, parasite and an opportunist!
What? - You are IeaVing me and running?
- Try and understand. - Understand what?
- That... - What that?
- That onIy... - What that onIy?
I'Ve pIayed such a game...
that I fooI the opponent and the game comes into my hands.
To save you...
I'Ve pIayed a ruse.
So this was your strategy?
Since when did you become braVe enough to defend me?
Meena!
Washing powder, Meena!
What?
No matter how wicked I am, I am human after alI.
I thought to myself that I must heIp you Meena.
Now did you understand what l'm saying...
Meena!
Pick up the sickIe that's...
right in front of you and beside TangabaIIi
Yes! I wilI take it.
I'Ve understood my Iady IoVe.
You two think l don't understand...
and that you can make a fooI out of me.
TangabalIi is singing in Hindi?
Yes!
Balli Balli l am TangabalIi!
I know your pIan...
now you're in troubIe.
You will not sing to him anymore.
Now you will bid fareweII to this worId, while doing disco!
- Okay, that's enough! - Hey Tangu...
Hey Tangu...
Touch and show Anna, I wilI cut you.
You do not know... whom you are fighting with.
We are good for good people and at the same time bad for...
bad peopIe... understand.
We are in South, but we are in the center of people's hearts.
Whoever ridicuIes our honor and culture, we teach them such a lesson that...
they wet their pants.
RahuI!
Meenamma, ready steady go!
Meena...
nobody can understand women.
At a time Iike this she's worried about her things!
ReaIIy, no one can understand women.
Come on.
Here you go, your ticket to Mumbai.
And you?
I am going to immerse Grandpa's ashes in Rameshwaram.
You know Meenamma, I just realized...
the best way to escape your probIems is to...is to face them.
No matter how wicked I am,I am human after all, Meena.
You are right about all...
just one thing is wrong.
I wilI also come with you to Rameshwaram.
What? Have you gone mad?
This is wrong.
- l'm doing the right thing. - Right, how?
You've got the chance to run away with such difficulty.
I couId have run away when you were drunk in the viIIage, if I wanted.
I didn't run away then. So how wiII l, now?
Its final Rahul, I wilI also come with you.
Meenamma, try to understand...
I'Ve taken a decision, let me compIete it on my own accord, please.
And you might be in danger there.
-What if Tangaballi reaches there? - Exactly.
I wilI saVe you from TangabalIi.
That's why l should come with you!
Okay?
Okay.
Sometimes two roads traveI side by side.
They slowIy converge at the end of the ride.
Sometimes when troubles become twice their size...
They are halVed when shared with someone nice
Our IoVe story is so strange.
Sometimes we progress, sometimes we curb.
Though I am the north pole and you are the south
Yet our love has brought us together.
Though I am the north pole and you are the south
We are equal partners in every situation.
Though we fight
Our partnership is aIright
With you everything seems aIright.
We are two different people with different attitudes.
We wander the worId in style.
Sometimes we go apart and come back.
We Iive our lives in the moment our moods change Iike the seasons
Though I am the north pole and you are the south
The naughty north has given south a wink.
Though I am the north pole and you are the south
We wiIl be together, forget about the whole world.

Though I am the north pole and you are the south
We are equal partners in every situation.
Tomorrow morning we can compIete the immersion rituaI.
For tonight we will haVe to stay in this Iodge.
It's Iike this, Meena...
we are all so busy running around in this fast paced Iife.
Our Iives are no Iess than a marathon...
we're all running to gain something in Iife.
Then someday we leaVe everything and go away.
Just Iike I will IeaVe you and go tomorrow.
All your worries will come to an end.
I'm going away forever, RahuI.
But where wilI you go?
Puna...
My childhood friend liVes there.
Chitra.
I was wondering Meenamma whether you will be safe there or not...
I mean what if you father's goons or your cousins reach there?
Meenamma you come with me to Mumbai...
My house is there... grandma is there...
You can stay there peacefully.
Thereafter, you can decide for yourself, as to what you want to do.
You can start afresh.
And what if my father's goons reach there?
That's not his kingdom.
That is not Komban village, it's Mumbai.
Nobody can do such a thing there.
And if my father asks you, what l am doing in your house...
what will you say then?
Then l wiII tell him... both of us, you know...
You and me.
It's okay, RahuI.
Pune is fine for me.
Anyway I haVe troubIed you a Iot.
It's not your sympathy, but your IoVe that I seek
I ask for your Iove as I know you IoVe me too
Because of the fear of the worId
I promise I wilI never forfeit you, my dear
I wilI never Iet you go
If this isn't love
Then what is love?
Now that l have won your love
I don't care if I Iose the world
I wilI never Iet you go
My life has lost its meaning
Since you are not there with me
Love is renowned
Since on this path I have waIked down.
I wilI not IeaVe it mid way...
From the path of your IoVe, l wiII not stray
I wilI never Iet you go
Where have we come, RahuI...I don't know...
We've come to the right place, Meenamma.
They will kiIl you...
- Without thinking twice... - No, Meena.
I have come to a decision after a lot of consideration.
RahuI, you have gone mad. We had run away from here.
But for how long wiII you run?
Don't you have any dreams or a Iife of your own?
Hello, sir.
You must be wondering how I am back here by myself?
- Dad... he means to say... - No, Meenamma.
Today your father and me don't need any transIation.
No subtitIes!
We're good.
Because today l wiII talk and you wiIl have to Iisten.
Mr. Durgeshwara Azag...
Sir!
The most import and man of komban VilIage.
Don!
Good, sir...
It's very good to be important, sir.
But it's more important to be good.
You must be thinking why I have come here?
Who is he?
Am I mad?
Or am l drunk?
No sir, not mad. And no drinks.
Not drunk.
Sober, sir.
I just came to find out why you are being so harsh towards Meena.
Why?
Don't you love your daughter?
No?
Because in a wedding yougive your daughter's hand in marriage.
But you tried to sacrifice her life.
WouId a father do such a thing?
No father shouId be Iike you.
No father will be like you.
Sir...
I am sorry, sir.
I am a Sweet SeIIer. Sweet.
But I will say something bitter.
You can be the father of this village, the God father of this viIIage...
but you cannot be your daughter's father. NeVer, sir.
Your pull and power, full marks for that, very good, sir.
But in one subject you haVe failed, zero...
full zero, sir.
Emotion, sir.
Don't you have any value for your daughter's emotions...
her wish, her happiness? No value?
No importance?
Why sir?
Let me teII you, sir.
We are in the sixty sixth year of independence.
But just Iike Meena the others girls in this ViIIage haVe...
no right to ceIebrate that independence.
No right!
And you peopIe too...
if you don't care for your daughter's emotions...
then this entire village...
this unity, PeriyathaIai!
This power is nothing, sir.
I say it's nothing!
And you Mr. Tangaballi.
You're so tall, so big! But with a smaII heart.
Now what do we do? Do we fight? Come on...
Come on. Let's fight.
Hit me.
I wilI not fight back because I want to do the right thing.
No.
It is straight and simple.
I am a common man. l get angry.
And don't underestimate the power of a common man.
What is it that you had said?
"You have come here aIive. But you won't leave here alive", wasn't it?
"I will cut you into pieces and parcel it"
Ya?
I wilI fight now. I wilI fight with you.
I wilI fight with each of your men.
Fight eVeryone!
Fight the entire Village if l have to. OnIy for Meena.
Because I IoVe her.
I do.
RahuI!
Father, pIease!
RahuI!
Come on.
Fight me.
Come on everyone.
Enough.
No more fights.
My body is no doubt Very big but your courage is eVen bigger!
Very big.
You are like us!
ReaI man!
You win!
Go, Meena is yours.
Meena is yours.
RahuI and Meena wiII get married.
Will Iook after me for the rest of our Iives.
Those who complete the rituaI...
are kept together by God, for next seVen IiVes.
You IoVe me a Iot, don't you?
Then we shouId have just eIoped from Rameshwaram.
Why did you risk coming to komban?
Meenamma, don't underestimate the power of a...
Sweet SeIIer?
Sweet SeIIer.
Now will you nod your head for what I am about to ask you?
Do you love me as much as I IoVe you?
Meena Lochini...
will you marry me?
Will you kick me at night, mistaking me for your father's scooter?
Sixteen hundred and thirty five Ianguages are spoken in our country.
But today l reaIized, that the most important language is - IoVe!
Indeed, love has no Ianguage...
And I wouId give the entire credit for the common man...
becoming the hero of komban VilIage to my grandfather
My grandfather!
He gave me a wake up caII when...
I was immersing his ashes in the waters of Rameshwaram.
WelI aIl said and done.
One wrong train. Chennai Express showed me the right way.
And today this Rahul...
will surely tell Meenamma that those who IoVe, are the one's who get the girI.
