POKKISHAM [The words of love from you]
A REALISTIC FILM ON THE STEP OF LITERATURE.
Is it the devil?
Tell me. Why are you silent?
Who is it?
It's Pooja, mom.
She calls up early in the morning!
Wait!
Have you waken up just now?
I came back from gym at 6.
...and reading an article 'Sneha for ever fresh!'
- Did you do work out? - I've just woken up.
Haven't you brushed your teeth yet?
Are you talking all this in the phone?
No. I have to remind him daily about it.
Else he will come to the office as it is.
Nasty! What brought up is his?
I won't brush and piss on the bed.
Tell everything.
Aye! That too! You didn't tell me that.
It seems you got drunk heavily in the discotheque.
You didn't come and I had to drink 2 pegs more.
Don't lie.
As I didn't come yesterday, you had a nice time...
...with the Delhi girl with drinks and all.
I got the news already.
Didn't your mom get annoyed last night?
Mom is not here. She has gone to Trichy.
She will come only in the evening. I am free till then.
I'll call you now and then. You should attend it.
In case you are busy with the phone then...
Oops! It is mom!
She is waiting to call me. I'll call you later.
Is it really your mom?
You seem to suspect me always. It is mom only.
Tell me mom!
- Mom! - Tell me.
You have to tell me which box.
I searched both the boxes.
They have only old things.
Search in the leather box if it is not in the 2 boxes.
- It would be in that. - Ok.
Did you have anything? - Not yet.
- Coffee? - No.
What were you doing all this time?
Why not you make coffee for you?
Should you need me for everything?
Ok, mom. Don't yell.
Come uncle.
- Haven't you taken a bath yet? - I have to.
Are the documents ready?
Mom has phoned up and told. I'm searching for that.
Do you still preserve them?
It was mom who wanted to keep them safe as they are dad's things.
All these are your dad's treasure.
Is it the one, uncle?
Give me.
This is it!
- I've no time. I'm leaving. - Ok.
- You take a bath. Auntie will be at home. - Ok!
You can have your food there.
- Will your mom come in the evening? - She will.
- Tell her that I've taken away the document! - Yes.
I will call you if anything comes up.
- I'll come in the evening. - Ok, uncle.
All this is your dad's treasure!
J.Nadira! D/o Jalalutheen Maraikkayar.
Mohd. Kasim street. Nagore. Nagapattinam Taluk.
Everyone should get everything.
None should be denied anything.
D.LENIN
What hai? Why didn't you call me up?
I had a small work.
It was my mom who called me up.
You could have called me after that.
She told me that uncle would come and I had to give him a document.
I was searching that.
That's it. Mom would call you only when I call you.
...and uncle would come.
- Am I... - Tell me some of your reasons, and forget me.
Ok. Come and check up.
How could I check up there?
Will you keep everything intact?
Why do you torture me...?
What... Torture...?
- Am I torturing you? - She will be in house...
You called me sweetie and cajoled me initially.
- After 3 months you got bored up with me, right? - Ok dear!
Did I tell you that?
You create all the problems.
Ok!
Nadira's reply with thanks for...
...the friendship which enquired my welfare.
The rain, trees, the sea, wind, music, and poem...
...were only the friends in my world!
You are in this world of mine for the first time.
The work started in Calcutta today for laying the broad gauge railway track.
Broad gauge!
Today I visited the Victoria Memorial hall!
It was a majestic looking structure!
The discussion to widen up the Calcutta's harbour started today.
The government wants to construct the...
...harbour for the ships of all countries to come in.
My body got quivered up when I heard the name Nagapattinam!
There is a reason for it.
Due to intestinal problem,...
...my dad underwent operation.
I went to Madras on July 1 7th to see my dad...
...who was in the hospital!
SEETHALAKSHMI HOSPITAL
WARD -A
Greetings!
- Damodaran! - Come.
- Brother! Please come. - How are you?
- I'm fine, dad!
- How was your journey? - It was nice.
- How are you dad? - I am fine!
You should have written to me 10 days ago.
Why should you suffer without anybody near you?
- How are you? - I'm fine!
You should have at least written me!
Why do you scold him?
Doctor performed the test...
... and told to undergo an operation!
So, I underwent the operation.
Don't take much strain dad!
Sister! Will you come and help him?
Nurse, come.
You have to go forward...
Dad, take it.
- Hold it. - Give me that.
Hold the leg!
- Slowly! - It is too heavy! - Careful!
- Come this side.
Take that pillow and keep it.
You have your food dad.
- Don't cry. - I feel very afraid!
Nothing to worry.
They will conduct the operation only after seeing the test result.
Nothing to worry.
We have to inform uncle, dad!
I'm going to Vaniyambadi at night.
I'll inform him from there.
Don't be afraid. I'll be back in two days.
- Mom... I will ask... - Have it and go to sleep.
- Go and have a bath and change your dress. - No hurry dad.
I'll give you everything and go.
What madam? Do you need the knife?
Son! Give the knife to her.
- For which ward, it is?-For B ward.
- Take it! - Take it!
The bandages are to removed for the patient who has been under bandages!
- Sister! - What?
Should I have to do all work of here?
- Noise... - I won't make noise.
They didn't listen to me...
- What can we do if they call me Sister...? - Yes!
Dear! He is going to have something.
If you need anything, he will bring it for you.
Ask him to bring something and have it.
No dear! Why should we bother him?
There is nothing to bother about.
He will have his food and get something for you.
I'll have dosai! Bring 2 dosai for me.
I will buy it...
Wait a little.
Is it for dosai?
Sister, I will take leave...
- Did you have anything? - Yes, I had it, dad.
Dosai and sambar(curry)!
Here is the balance 60 paise!
2 dosai cost 1 .40 rupees.
- Enough, dad? - I'll go and wash my hands.
In a hospital they wouldn't see all this.
Never mind. Remove your robe.
Time is 12:10.
All India Radio! Chennai radio station!
- Pushpa! - What sister?
Lakshmi won't come because she is on leave.
You can wash yourself. I'll wash later.
How come my name...?
Remedy for joint pain & sprains!
- One... - Need coffee?
- Get a coffee more. - Ok, sir!
How do you know my name?
J.Nadira 2nd B.A, Tamil.
When you were reading, I happened to note down your address.
Enough?
Nadira! Novel name!
It is nice to tell it.
My name is Lenin.
I am working as marine engineer in Calcutta.
Dad told that Nagore is your town!
Is there no one else in your house?
My sister, dad, grand ma... all are there!
Dad has business in the sea!
He went to Malaysia 10 days ago.
I don't know when he would return.
My dad has problem in the intestines.
The operation is over.
My brother, dad and me... Only 3 of us!
Mom?
No mom!
She died of jaundice, when we were young.
There is not even a hospital in your place...
...and it is a surprise to know that you are...
...studying in the college!
It is my dad's desire to send me to college.
I had interest in the studies, which was a reason for that.
- Allah! - What is it madam?
It is very painful. I can't bear that.
- It is painful. - Check her.
What happened? Is it very painful?
Sis, call the doctor!
Be calm! The doctor will...
- Where has the girl gone? - I don't know dad.
- Go and see her! - Bring the patient's file.
Bring the screen!
- Where do you have the pain? - It is here.
Ask the doctor whatever it is.
Where is mom?
Come! She is been taken inside.
I think they are checking her.
- I have to see her. - They told me to wait.
I'll ask.
It's ok!
- Who has come with her? - Me! - Come in.
When should I see the doctor?
I'll help you if you need any.
This is my uncle's address.
I don't know how to reach him...
...and the operation could go on only when I receive money from him.
Her relatives are gone to their place.
The operation will go on when she pay the money.
Shall I pay the money as it is urgent?
Give it. What is there to ask me?
We need it only when we go from here after I'm discharged.
- Give the bill. - Bill...?
Here it is.
Take it!
The balance 340 rupees!
These kind of cases are plenty these days.
This type of diseases are quite common here.
This is the 4th operation in this week.
Don't cry.
Mom!
What happened?
Nothing.
I wanted to be alone for sometime.
You have tears in your eyes!
I was saying thanks to Allah.
Should you tell that, weeping?
What else can give him other than our tears?
Dad and uncle are not with us now.
I was wondering what could be done.
You came up with your help, then.
I felt scared, when I thought if you were not there with your help.
Only Allah has sent you to me to help me.
I feel like crying when I think of Allah!
I have to convey my gratitude to you every minute.
What have I done for that?
Our culture is to come for one's help when he is in need.
Nobody will help any strangers...
...so earnestly.
When it is money, they would think twice!
Avvai could know that there are good people like you all time!
In the literature that Avvai wrote 500 years ago...
...there is a song in it!
Don't say as relatives and friends!
It is a killer disease!
Only those who are not relatives could cure the disease!
There exist some medicines like that!
Your help is so vital that it does not contain in the word 'thanks!'
It was a help which saved a life!
- Son - Dad!
- Have you booked the ticket to go home? - Not yet.
They want you to be here for a week more.
I was thinking if I could extend my leave further.
No. If you apply for leave your promotion will be affected.
Your brother's examination is been over!
He will be with me and take care of me.
- You go and book the tickets! - Ok, dad!
Will it happen if you had food at the right time?
I have to pay the money to the hospital...
...which I have earned working day night abroad!
You have spoilt your health and...
...the studies of this girl.
Dad! I told you about those who have helped us.
It is them! Lenin and his dad!
- Allah will bless you! - Greetings!
Allah will bless you!
If you help somebody, you will get 10 times of the help from me!
This is told in Kuran by Allah!
I am very thankful to you for your help!
Anyone with a heart would do this
Why do you say thanks for this?
This is the gratitude from my heart.
I don't know when Allah would give a chance to reciprocate it.
You have to receive it. Gratitude is vital for a man.
Madam!
- What dad? - Nothing. They told me to walk.
- Have you taken the ticket? - I have.
Where is Nadira?
Those have come from uncle's house.
She has gone thin being suffered for 10 to 15 days here.
I told her to take a day rest and send her off.
She will come in the morning.
Come dear!
- Dad! - Have you taken everything for your journey?
Yes, I have.
- Don't eat anything from the platform. - I won't.
I have prepared chappathi for two days and packed it.
How would you eat chappathi for two days?
A north Indian journey will be like that.
Madam, Nadira hasn't come yet, right?
She was not well since night.
She has fever.
She had an injection from a nearby doctor.
She is been advised rest.
I have told her to come after two days.
Dad! Time is around five.
It is time for you to leave.
I'll tell when Nadira comes.
Dad! Give it when she comes.
She asked me the need of communism in this country.
- Let her read it. - I'll give it to her.
It's time for you to leave.
What is this?
See you dad.
What is it, as if going for the first time!
...with tears in your eyes!
Take care.
- See you then. - Ok!
You go and send him off.
See you madam.
- See you! - See you sir.
Everything will be fine!
- Allah will take care of you. - Thank you.
Farewell!
God bless you!
- Take care of dad. - Ok!
- Study well. - Ok.
The train has reached to Visakapattanam.
This rail journey gave me a new kind of experience.
Marapasu (wooden cow) that I read in a journey
Man wants woman not to think anything.
So far woman community is been isolated like this.
Woman steps into a school!
...thinking and asking questions!
when the men stepped on to the moon...
...we have stepped on the front door.
That too by Indira Gandhi's stimulation!
A Jayakandan for the stories.
Kanna dasan for film songs!
But it is only Bharathi for poems.
Man has lived in the time when there was no electricity.
We have to adjust ourselves.
There is no problem till we learn something.
After that, it is difficult for us to discard it.
This is the tendency of mankind.
Nadira's study, knowledge and literary speech...
...had a stimulation in me which I felt...
...in this rail journey.
I felt sorry to tell that girlfriend that I couldn't...
...tell her about my travel to my home which affected me very much.
The friendship has blossomed in 15 days.
I kept it in my heart as a rare flower!
I don't know if the flower would blossom again in my garden.
Let Nadira's wellbeing live long!
What Mirnalini?
Have you come from the college?
- Study well. - Ok.
- Lenin! - Sister-in-law!
There was a letter from your dad in the morning.
Brother came for lunch at noon.
He took it with him without knowing.
Will you go and get it?
Brother!
You seem to merge with the lady's statue after making it.
Sister told me that there is a letter for me.
Have you brought it with you?
Did I bring it here?
Where have you gone?
- The letter is in the shirt. Go and take it. - Inside?
To my son Lenin from dad...!
Your brother and I keeping well here.
We hope you are also doing well there.
I was discharged only yesterday from the hospital.
The Islamic girl Nadira who was helpful to us...
.in the hospital was annoyed that you haven't told her before you left.
When your brother goes to college, she used to...
...care me as her mother by giving medicines and pills.
I've written her address underneath.
You should thank her through a letter!
J.Nadira, 24, Mohd. Kasim street, Nagore.
You went to your dad to help him.
...and made a girl who is knowledgeable like you as friend.
Beautiful girls only bewitch our heart.
The girls with knowledge bewitch our intellect.
Same way when I was traveling to Calcutta for the first time...
...a girl accompanied me.
We were talking the whole night.
I didn't get any sleep and she too kept talking.
She got down in Bhuvaneswar station.
- What then? - I was sure I could meet her somewhere.
It has not happened till now.
We would not get back some of the matters...
...which we have lost in this world.
My journey has ended up that way.
To my intimate friend Nadira from Lenin!
I'm fine here. Are you keeping fine?
I am eager to know about your mom's health.
My wishes to your grand ma, sister and dad!
I hope that the door of our friend ship...
...would open by the help of this letter.
The day I went to Calcutta, I was in agony...
...as I had to leave everyone.
Thi.Janaki Raman's novel 'wooden cow'...
...gave me some solace.
Women like you who like the social change...
...should read the novel definitely.
Read it without fail.
15 days are gone after I came to Calcutta.
Then I got a letter from my dad.
I didn't expect that a surprise waits for me in that.
Dad has written your address in that.
When I was wondering if my friendship...
...would be viewed as a simple rail love, it turned out to be...
...a sweet shock for me.
Literature, politics, society like wise...
...the unforgettable days in the hospital should continue.
For that a letter would be a good instrument...
...what I think.
When I open the letter, and see the hand writing...
...the face and the memories of meeting of the owner of the face...
...would come before me.
So, do not forget to write to me.
My sweet friend.
What is it? What habit this is?
How could he write a letter to you...
...for being with us in the hospital for 10 days?
If you receive any letter anymore like this...
...I will kill you. Careful.
Even though I did my work well...
...I was expecting anxiously Nadira's reply anytime.
It is 10 days since I wrote to her.
As there was no reply yet, I wanted that...
...there should not be any unwanted things...
...to happen because of me or my letter!
- I decided not to write to her anymore. - You seem to be moody since morning.
Talk something.
What do you want me to do?
I'm tense as there is no reply for my letter.
Instead of solace me...
She is known to you only for 10 days!
Is this the way to write a letter to her?
That too she belongs to a different religion.
You should have written like this...!
Are you keeping well?
I am happy for giving the address to dad.
How is your mom?
You study well.
Reply if possible. Had you written like this,
...you would have received the reply.
The way you have written makes me worry.
Her dad is coming with his men in the train what I think.
- Sir! Had your food? - I had it.
Come.
Only vegetables?
- Mutton too along with. - Take it!
Poem in the morning itself.
- There is a poet in brother. - Yes!
As I got a good wife, I became a poet late.
You are telling that.
She will give me more meat only then!
You can speak lies very good.
- You deserve to become a poet. - You too have told lies!
Lies... me... what sister?
A girl has written a letter to you. Seems to be new one!
- You didn't tell who she is. - Give it!
Have you received the message?
- It is Nadira brother. - Open it and read.
We will see if it is earthquake or storm.
What do you mean?
I'll tell you.
Damn you.
Didn't you know it is personal when we were discussing?
It is Nadira who expresses her gratitude...
...to my friend who enquired about my well being!
Rain, trees,
Sea, wind, music, poem!
These were only my friends in my world!
Now you have entered my world for the first time.
Like the flood of water,...
...my heart is full of rising tides of happiness!
I wonder how to express my joy after seeing your letter.
Like a child sleeping in mother's lap...
...I bury my face in your letter!
Thank you Lenin!
My enormous thirst is been quenched!
The rain bearing clouds got united.
The lightning will get away from me.
The sound will be heard in this soil.
The glow worms appear as flowers!
Moon like looks are very shy.
Know one thing! Gulmohar trees blossom when they are plants.
They will stay like that for hundred years.
I pray that our love also should blossom and ripe, like that.
Our joy is our own children!
There is nothing wrong in our friendship.
I am flying without the wings.
I sprout up like a paddy seed.
What is the need for your gift of communism?
I have not read the book so far. Pardon me for that.
I'll write about it in the next letter.
I thank you for that book.
I thank for your letter which shattered...
...my loneliness too.
With regards, your dear friend Nadira.
To Nadira, are you fine?
I'm eager to know about you.
I was waiting for your reply...
...since 15 days.
The trees won't refuse to offer shadow to those who need to relax.
The friends who want to relax in the shade of friendship!
...still for an Islamic girl who follows strictly...
...the rules of her religion, my letter should not create any danger!
That sorrow changed my waiting for hers into anxiety!
Now your kind reply has change...
...my heart beats smooth!
You have written that friendliness out side the house is only a dream.
That strike in my ears as the voice of the women community!
As the women gradually rise in the education...
...the limitations will break away.
I think there is Gulmohar tree near your house.
If I am right,...
...write to me if it has blossomed!
I used to write to my dad once a week.
Now for you too!
If you don't mind it...
...because from the state of being a intelligent friend...
...you seem to come with me like a shadow.
The friend for the river is the two shores only.
The friend of a good intellect is the one...
...who can think like him.
You have the duty to give life to your dad's dream...
...who send you to the college!
So, give attention to your studies also.
How is your mom's health?
Tell her that I have enquired about her.
My greetings to your grand ma and dad.
...for your sister and waiting for your reply.
With love, Lenin!
- What mam? - What is she doing?
To Lenin! Nadira with love!
I'm fine! How are you there?
When I received your letter, the Gulmohar tree...
...in my garden was blossomed with flowers and buds.
This wonderful scene was been staged.
The tree is full of flowers without leaves...
...which resembles our friendship!
When I go to my college, I will be fully engaged...
...in the thoughts of my studies!
But when I took your letter with me in the bus...
...I wonder if it is you who posed as my friend...
...or your letter. This sweet doubt struck me...
...for the first time.
I don't know why I have hidden away the letter from mom's eyes.
I doubt if you have received a letter to you.
From whom?
I wouldn't tell a lie.
I read it to my mom as I felt guilty myself.
He has enquired about you with kindness.
Mom is a wonderful woman who could...
...understand our friendship.
Still, she told me with a warning note not to go beyond the limit.
But she is not the kind to warn me.
It is the beach near our house which...
...I like very much after my house!
There is a boat which is lying alone there...
...after hitting the shore.
I used to compare the faded and old boat...
...with me and my mom.
I develop a doubt in me if the boat imitates the...
...silence of the womanhood which exists...
...since long time!
I am telling that the beginning should not form the end.
The letters which have no secrets in those...
...are read by the goddesses before they are given to us what I doubt.
Write to me with caution in any case...
...if it is for goddesses or human beings.
With love, Nadira!
Write to me with caution in any case.
...if it is for goddesses or human beings.
With love, for Nadira.
I saw a book shop in the morning...
...on the way to my work place.
I remembered you as the book lover then.
So far any replies from Nadira...
...telling she has received the books have not come.
I started to worry what has gone wrong with her.
I started to search the post box for any letters...
...which was out of my habit so far.
Though I want to forget but I couldn't.
I smiled inside thinking about this!
I smile at the postman as if he's long known to me!
Yearnings and anxiety started to sprout in me
I couldn't understand why. I started to wait for dawn.
Awaiting her letters
Why my eyes smile when seeing the post box?
Why butterflies bat the wings in my heart?
Why do my joyous days shy up?
Why is there a feeling of a brush above my shoulder?
Why do merry go rounds revolve in my brain?
Why my pulse rate rise by 100 times?
Why do I feel the tops rotate themselves?
Why do I feel my body is full of new lightning?
Why my eyes smile when seeing the post box?
Why butterflies in my heart...?
What happened to you mind which goes in a swing?
World came to know that I am lively without life.
My top of my head is caressed by rainbow.
My palm lines blossom like flowers.
The cloth in mind is been washed by the scent breeze.
The poem is sung as if I were born every moment.
My leg wanted to float in the dream, dancing!
My legs wanted to go up as I slowly melted away.
I have learned to enjoy myself!
This happens every day, but it is novel!
Is there any letter for me?
There is no letter for you.
I told you that there is no letter for you.
Ok! See you then!
Why? I will try.
My letter goes correctly but there is no reply.
It is getting lost somewhere.
Why is he standing here? He looks as a learned guy.
He greets me at times.
Can't tell who is mad and who is not these days.
He is standing here too!
Are you taking my letter safely?
Can't tell what he is talking! Shall I inform the hospital?
- Sir, who are you? - Nothing.
- What do you want? - My letter... - Go off.
Listen! Why are you after me?
It is an important letter!
- It goes to Madras! - What?
An important letter goes to Madras.
I want to know if it goes there without getting lost.
- Do you have the ticket for Madras Mail? - Why?
The letter goes in that train! Go along with it and give the letter in person.
I wonder where these mad people come from!
What are you doing?
Why didn't you take the phone?
How can I answer so many questions at a time?
Are you going to tell or what?
Ok! I'll tell.
But there is a matter which is more important than that.
- Will you answer me if asked? - What? Tell me.
How long we are in love?
When did we announce our love?
How is that?
Have you forgotten that?
Through SMS only.
You send flowers telling that 'I love you'!
- Why? - Just like that.
Ok! I will talk later.
You told you have to tell me something important.
That is not yet completed.
I'll tell when it is complete
Calcutta city is very much joyous in the wake of Durga Pooja festival.
But I was sleeping in agony as I haven't received any letter yet.
The drums and happiness heralded the joy...
...I am going to relish and I was not aware of it then!
- Mom! - I'm coming!
- Dad is calling you. - Ok!
What is this?
Haven't you taken bath yet? Don't you know today is a divine day?
Wait I will come.
The worship has started long ago.
What has happened to you? Come down fast.
Can't you hear me calling you? There is a lot of work here. Come fast.
They are calling me now and then. Can't anything go on without me!
Mrinalini... Mrinalini... Mrinalini!
Can't anything go on in this world without me?
- Pray the God! - I will...
I don't know if you are there.
Everybody is worshipping you. So am I.
There is a change in me.
The name of it is Nadira.
- Now I am not my own. - Take it madam.
I can't tell it to her.
She too is not telling anything.
I ask the deity to offer the blessings to her!
There should not be any problems for her!
...or have been happened to her.
You have to save her.
I should receive letter from her fast.
Letter from Nadira...
You pray to God!
Durga Devi will solve all your problems.
Dear Lenin! From Nadira! I'm fine!
My heart is being frozen up like ice...
...in the silence, unable to ask your welfare.
Long nights have passed by with tears and smiles!
The book Gitanjali send to me by you caught up in dad's hands!
- All happened as I have feared. - Bye.
What is this new habit? It is not good.
Being at the summit of agony poet Tagore talked to the almighty...
...through his poems about his tears which is Gitanjali.
From the time when he got it and read it...
...till now, he was scolding me.
...that your brought up is not right.
This is not encouraging!
There is a limit for our desires.
You can't overcome that. Keep that in your mind.
My parents treated me as a culprit and I am very much agonized!
I could not write any replies to you...
...as the circumstances were not favorable to me.
Hope you will forgive me.
My mind's changes were like the rain clouds...
...which tend to rain anytime.
...but it is been stagnant like well water.
I am a girl with love over all living beings!
But don't know how I became abnormal
I don't know.
- I'm taking leave. - You can go.
You forgot this.
Hey be quit!
- Where is Nadira? - She was coming behind us.
Why she is standing?
What happened to you?
It is nothing!
If any elderly man comes to the house, the Islamic girl...
...will get up and go in respect.
But I couldn't make out that dad has come in.
I was lost in my own world
Beyond all these, at the time of prayer...
...I have lost the attention on God.
Mass prayer is the divine moment when you are...
...very close to the almighty.
Even at that time, I was in your thoughts only!
What could be the reason for all this to happen?
With these changes your thoughts over power me.
On the other side it is a cruel moment as a punishment.
...which I want to avoid in vain.
When I want to tell your name or write...
...your face will be near me as a friend.
I wonder why I bend down my face...
...with shy when I see your face!
See if Jamal is there in the garden.
I will see mom!
I ask you now, how you are related to me.
Whom am I to you?
How will you call me?
How will I call you? Reply to me.
With regards... Nadira.
I ask you now, how you are related to me.
Whom am I to you?
You pray to God!
All your problems will get solved!
MOON...
SKY
Oh moon! You are the sky, wind, rain...
...my poem and breath! Music!
Is music a drop of honey or flower?
Direction! Light and day!
Oh moon! You are the sky, wind, rain...
...my poem and breath! Music!
Is music a drop of honey or flower?
Direction! Light and day!
Goddess swan! Butterfly!
Frolicking Tamil child!
Lion's smile! Kiss!
Silence! Dream! Yearning!
Cloud! Lightning! Art!
Darling! Precious! Torture!
All these are you, but I will tell that you are my life!
I am in you, and your life is in me.
'We' henceforth sounds pleasant!
Oh moon! You are the sky, wind, rain...
...my poem and breath! Music!
Is music a drop of honey or flower?
Direction! Light and day!
Loving king! Loving husband!
Loving thief!
You loving dear!

Loving Thirukkural!
Loving love principles!
Loving rascal! Loving thief!
Loving fan! Loving crazy!
Loving proud! Loving mistake!
Loving soul! Loving love!
You are all these!
You have to tell me if I am right.
We shall unite in love!
Why search for unnecessary words?
Oh moon! You are the sky, wind, rain...
...my poem and breath! Music!
Is music a drop of honey or flower?
Direction! Light and day!
Loving king! Loving husband!
Loving thief!
You loving dear!
By looking at the rain and getting wet in rain!
We are getting wet in the heavy rain of love.
When I am writing a poem to you here...
...God is blessing me with rain drops!
I send those rain drops to you!
Every drop of it contain my craving of love.
Sir! What happened?
- I feel happy! - What happened?
Rain drops falling on the earth!
There is a telephone in my college office.
I've written the numbers in it.
I wouldn't sleep till I hear your voice.
It is raining since morning.
Storm is formed near Sankarpur.
- Is it so? - Yes.
Sir! I've to book for a trunk call to Madras.
The line is not proper as there was a heavy rain.
The line will be okay when the rain stops!
When will the rain stop?
Am I the God to tell that?
Go and come after the rain stops!
He asks me as if he is crazy!
Last time too, he went after the post man and asked him like a crazy man.
I went in eagerly that I could hear Nadira's voice.
I was vexed up, hearing that the telephone line...
...was affected due to rain.
I decided not to talk with anyone till I talk to Nadira!
Waiting and creating loneliness is a enchanting moment...
...in life, which is known only to those like me who is in love!
Wait, I will come... leave my hand.
- Here is uncle! - Wait. I'll ask him what.
What Lenin? You seem to talk a new language!
These children came to you for tuition.
...and they came to me with excitement!
What happened to you?
You! When you were 3 years old...
1 ...2...3! 3 days!
For you 3 days...! What are you talking?
Why don't you tell it clearly?
I don't understand anything.
For three days... won't you kiss anybody?
Why are you all laughing?
Won't I too laugh if you tell me what?
You know what? He says 3 days... and 3 kisses!
I couldn't understand anything.
What is it? Tell me.
Tell me. You...! 3...
After 3? Diary!
- 3 diary! - Could you understand anything now? - No!
- He tells it for so long. - Didn't I say you it before?
I won't talk with anyone for three days!
3 days...! Same feeling!
...thoughts of you.
It was almost like a devotion.
It was a very appealing moment!
Today is Monday and the rain have stopped.
I was eager to talk with Nadira in the early morning itself.
Are you alive? I've made several calls!
I would have made 100 calls in 15 minutes!
You didn't respond to any of those.
You told me that you could be reached in 1 second...
...even if you are in any corner of this world...
...that's why you have bought the mobile.
You told me that your mom is not at home.
Who is there with you?
Is it the Delhi girl?
I decided not to talk with anyone till I talk to Nadira!
Waiting and creating loneliness is a enchanting moment...
...in life, which is known only to those like me who is in love!
I would have made 100 calls in 15 minutes!
You didn't respond to any of those.
You told me that your mom is not at home.
Who is there with you?
Is it the Delhi girl?
Like the bird which waits for the dawn...
...I went to the post office when it was morning!
I waited for the post office to open...
...so that I would be the first to enter the post office.
I waited with joy for Nadira's voice to be heard.
- Where to? - Karaikkal, Madras!
Can't you speak?
How will you attend the trunk call?
Go and sit. They will call you.
Talk.
Avvaiyar Women's College! Talk.
Hello! Who is it?
- Has the line got cut? - No!
Talk. I can hear you!
There will be a girl called Nadira in B.A. Tamil department!
Will you call her? I've to talk to her.
Who are you? Where are you talking from?
I am her relative from Calcutta.
Call her fast, sir.
Did you get the line?
Ok, talk.
Sir! Be fast. People are waiting.
1 minute.
- How are you? - I am fine.
- How about you? - Only now... after I heard your voice!
I tried to call you when I got your letter.
Then it was heavy raining here.
Line was faulty.
I couldn't make the trunk call.
Or else, I would have talked to you on Thursday.
I feel like seeing you.
- Dad! - You have come all of a sudden!
I have come on duty.
A ship from Burma has approached the harbour there.
We have done the servicing!
There was a repair work when it came to Madras.
They sent me here specially. So I couldn't inform you before.
I have to take a bath! I've to go.
What is it brother? You don't talk since you came!
You don't seem to answer dad if he asks anything!
Is there any problem?
I have answered to him. Should I tell you that too?
I'll come after my bath.
You concentrate on the studies without asking any questions!
On the way you come...
...my face will appear before you.
In the heat of the earth you could see my mind.
In the path you come, should I be the drizzle?
You lover come to me...
... who have kindled the desire in me!
Shall I be a tree in the wind to welcome you?
Shall I come as leaves to rest on your head?
My looks can wipe off your sufferings!
If it looks at your face it will get its life!
Be peaceful buddy in the thought of unity.
My shoulders would yearn to lean on you!
The tide of the sea will tell me your arrival.
My mind rejoices your thoughts!
AVVAIYAR WOMEN'S COLLEGE KARAIKAL
If anything happens, the girl's life will be in trouble.
Don't worry about anything.
- Have you noted it? A man stands before our college! - All look same.
How could I find out with her eyes only? Is it her!
- He is looking at us! - Be quiet
That guy who I don't know.
Are you looking for Nadira?
- Yes. - Today is her marriage engagement.
- Who are you? - I'm her friend, Bhuvana!
She didn't tell anything when I talked to her over the phone 3 days ago!
Everybody doubted when you called her in the college.
Our principal knows Nadira's dad, well.
He went to him and told everything.
You know very well about her people.
They have stopped her studies...
...and are looking for a groom for her!
All are watching us. Shall we go to the bus stand talk?
Nadira! The groom has come to see you!
What's this? Someone will see us!
Move a little far.
Lenin's world has come to a stop today.
How will I know you if Nadira hasn't come to college?
Don't you surprise how I could speak to you?
Tell me if anyone come.
I have to talk to her.
I am a watchman in the bus too!
I was getting nowhere when I saw you!
I wonder if it is for real!
You wanted me to see you.
I was waiting for you to ask that to me.
You asked me that and I came.
I'm glad.
Can't I see your full face as the full moon?
You look fine!
No smoking!
- What is it? - I've bought it for you in Calcutta.
Let it be with you so as my remembrance! Take it.
People are coming. Turn away Lenin.
- Don't look at me - All people upstairs.
Where are you go?
- I think it is going to start. - Wait I ask.
- Brother! Is it going to start? - Yes, madam!
Our friend has to come. We'll get down! Come.
- Where do you want to go? - Come.
Let us go in this. It will start late only.
What Sir? Are you too waiting for your friend?
- Yes! - Get down.
How can I take this to my home?
I can't hide it anywhere in my house.
Mom will come to know it.
If dad knows it, I will be dead!
Sorry. Don't tell that.
My life will not get fulfilled.
- Is it possible, Lenin? - What?
That we are going to unite.
Oh gosh! Your dad
Let us get down. Come. Come fast.
Come fast.
He might see us! Get down fast.
The marriage of Noor Mohammad Bhai's daughter is fixed.
We are meeting people in such occasions only.
A friend of mine has come from Malaysia.
CHIDAMBARAM!
Which bus have they got in?
THIRUVARUR
She went in the bus.
There is no thought about the world.
There is no mind to go to sleep.
I float fully in her thoughts!
It is hot in the after noon but you are the rain in my mind!
I am taking bath in the cute rain drop.
Her face is seen in the breeze which strikes the eye.
Her face is seen in the song in my mind!
I am joyous as a crore flowers blossom in my mind!
I am enjoying the pleasure of the tune when a crore veenas are being played.
Is this love's aesthetic mischief?
Aren't there any ways to overcome this?
Is this love's aesthetic mischief?
Aren't there any ways to overcome this?
Stay quiet! I'll beat you.
I am born again in this world...
...to spread a new light in the cave of my mind.
My eye brows quiver, with a smile in the lips...
...I crawl like a grown up child.
I have lost myself!
I give up this my life!
I hug up this demon of love with desire!
See! Why are you yelling like this?
Sit down. Ok, right!
He wants to hug the demon it seems! If it strikes he'll know.
Luckily he was only singing!
The woman beside him was saved up.
- Why are you so late? - I had work to do.
Didn't you sleep, yet?
Why do you keep awaken so far?
Why do you wash the clothes in the morning?
Its ok leave it brother.
Dad waited for you in the night with food for you.
As you came late, I had it and went to sleep.
I think you too went to sleep as soon as you came in.
Poor dad had nothing to eat.
Why did you go to sleep without having food?
- Give it I'll do it for you. - It's okay. It's finished.
You had been operated. Listen to what I say.
I didn't remarry as I won't be there for you after your mom.
If I appoint anybody you won't realize my affection...
...hence I didn't appoint anybody.
So when I was everything for you...
...-you wanted to lie to me. - Dad.
It is the ticket for Nagore where you went.
When I took your shirt in the morning to wash it...
it was in the shirt pocket.
Why did you lie to me then?
How do you imagine to marry a Muslim girl...
...you being a Hindu, in the society?
Our society hasn't approved to take love...
...as the norm for the growth of human relations.
The ups and downs among the humans have...
...created the religion and caste.
The difference of being poor and rich...
...is the reason for all problems.
That is the reason why your dad had changed as a communist.
Dad!
Sorry dad.
I've no objection.
I don't know how much interest they have in it.
I have to take a decision now!
Will you listen to me?
DHINDIVANAM 40KM
The dream can sometime shatter!
Be patient till the result is known.
That too can succeed at times.
Stay awake till it is dawn up.
This is a unknown arithmetic!
It is a journey for the battle.
This world won't allow for a pleasurable love.
The failure which has no pain in it is aesthetic!
In the lap of a mild worry...
It is a journey of the two minds!
Please convert into our religion!
This is a travel with agony on one side...
...disquiet on the other!
The night is watchful and the heart is alert...
The male shore blend with the waves!
Anything could happen in this life.
The God can tell the judgment.
Tomorrow might not be like today.
You might wonder why today is not like yesterday.
In the lap of a mild worry...
It is a journey of the two minds!
She was busy with some work.
- Greetings sir. - Greetings madam!
- Greetings brother! - Greetings madam!
How is your health? Are you fine?
I'm fine. There is no problem.
Have it. Have it sir.
How is your health after the operation?
There is no problem. I'm fine.
- How is your business? - Tell greeting
It is going well.
Allah takes care of it.
Greetting sir!
- Are you fine? - I'm fine.
How is your Tamil literature studies?
It is fine.
Your daughter has a talent to sing poems well!
- Zubaida! Where is Jamal? - He is in the garden.
- Ask him to get 2 tender coconuts! - Ok dear -Let them have it in this heat!
Why sir? I had water just now.
You have come from long distance.
We have to see if you are feeling good!
They are coming!
Old house is really majestic!
- Please come in. - Come.
Islamic people wouldn't allow outsiders...
...-to get into their houses. - Yes.
But you are not like that to us.
Had he not paid the money in the hospital...
...Zubaida wouldn't be alive now.
We can't forget the help he did to us like Allah for the lifetime!
It was not a big thing to us.
Any one could have done it in that situation!
Good people are scarce these days to see!
We pray to Allah daily for your welfare.
Take it sir. Brother...!
- What about you, sir? - No. You have it.
Jamal! Buy a kilo of meat from Rawther's shop.
- Ok. - Let it be fresh meat. Buy some liver also.
- Why do you bother, sir? - There is no botheration.
Zubaida will cook it in half an hour!
We have two girls for assistance.
As a human being we are supposed to fulfill others' needs!
You have to have the feast.
Now you can have tender coconut!
Zubaida! Get ready for cooking.
- Ok! - I'll take them to Darga (Muslim temple) and to the beach.
I don't understand anything.
Dear! Grandpa does not talk with anybody...
...and invite them for feast.
How could he talk, move with them...
...invite them for feast?
Who are them? Have they come regarding your marriage?
Dad will get angry if he hears! You mind your work.
What work I've to do! My work is to clean up the cow dung.
I don't get it. Which cow has put this cow dung?
- Have you had your food? - It was very good.
Did you have it with utmost satisfaction?
Grandma! Here is betel leaves for you!
No. I feel somewhat. I'll have it later.
- Will you take it later? - Yes!
We will be happy if everything goes well!
What are you saying? What should I do?
I tell from my inner heart.
If seen you, your wife, your family...
...and those happenings of the past...
...I feel there had been a connection of the last birth.
Lenin and Nadira became good friends...
...when they were in the hospital for sometime.
Based on that relation, they wrote letters to each other...
...and strengthened their relation!
There was a change in their minds for sometime.
They couldn't change it as their minds have been in union!
With love Nadira! I am Lenin here.
You have to pardon me first.
Without telling a word to you, we came to your house suddenly.
I could understand how much strain you were suffering.
I could not ignore my dad's hurried decision!
In it, the problems you have to face will be more than me.
Realizing that I was sitting before your dad.
Sir! Religion is my identity.
Belief in my religion is in my blood!
Islam is my path.
A Muslim will not be ready to give up the belief at any cost.
When he started to speak, I felt as if my heart has skipped a beat!
But at the same time, he will not forget...
...those who have saved his life.
He spoke with a great belief in the religion!
But when he spoke about humanity, I had a little belief in him.
But I was anxious enough to know what decision he's going to tell.
Business is my life and I had to work hard for it.
My hard work is the reason to keep them in high spirits.
If it is religion or human being my answer will be the human being.
We are told to live like that in our religion!
Beyond that my daughter's life is very important.
So, I'm ready to give my daughter for your son!
I was sitting astonished at his words!
When his words were like a blessing for me...
...and I broke into tears of joy! With love!
Our parents approved our love as they hugged together.
That scene stood before my eyes for long!
Same time, your eyes were full of tears...
- You have to do me a help! - What sir tell me.
She has to complete her studies...
...and my business has to be flourished...
...and more money has to come in.
I can give my eldest daughter against rules of my religion!
But lot of money is needed for my younger daughter to get married, right?
So you have to be patient till I tell you!
Lenin have to only write to her once a month...
...instead of writing frequently.
I was happy that my love has been fruitful...
...and my eyes have become sleepless.
In those sleepless nights, I could hear the song of my heart.
My heart was eager to share my joy with you...
but your father had requested to write only once a month
...l'm waiting with patience for the moment, to write to you.
Instead of writing a letter a week, I would be writing once a month to you!
Those will be epics of our soft love!
Your letter should also reach me every month without delay.
To Lenin, from Nadira with love!
From my childhood
Follow me as a friend!
Film and playing cards are spoiling the land!
- Brother! - What is it?
Where are you going with this big cover?
- Is it to your office? - This letter... to our village!
- To whom? - For Nadira!
- For Nadira? - Yes. - Give it.
It could weigh 2 kilos.
I write to her only a letter a month! And in detail!
If it were manuscripts in palm leaf...
...it would have needed 10 cartful of palm leaves!
If there was no letter communication...
...what the lovers like you will do?
Oh god!
Let him go! The post office will close!
You are a communist, and you know nothing about love!
Thank you sister!
Love relations would have been evolved after so many...
...pains and waiting! I understood that now.
I didn't receive any letter from her this month.
There is no letter for you.
To Lenin. I'm fine! I hope you will be also fine!
Sorry for writing after a brief delay.
My college studies keep me away from our love!
Please have patience!
Take care!
Mom! Lenin has come!
Sis-in-law! Is there only one letter?
Another one is there too!
- Give me that, sis. - I can't give you that.
Why can't you give that?
What is the hurry? Take your own time!
- Had it come tomorrow? - Go, sis.
- Where is the letter? - I don't know, uncle.
Why should I ask you? I'll take it.
Sis! She hasn't written anything in it.
She could have written in that in detail.
Keep it with you and give that.
Poor thing! Ok, I'll give you.
Give it! I'll prepare this.
Leave it. I'll tell you.
The waste paper merchant came in the morning!
- The letter was among with the bunch! - Oops!
I've told him. He told that he will bring it tomorrow morning.
I will give it tomorrow.
What is this? Where is the merchant's house?
Is he the one from Rabindra San?
Give me his address? I'll go and get it.
Sis! Why do you laugh, when I ask for address?
No! That paper merchant address.
Not understanding my agony
I didn't give to the paper merchant.
No letter has come really.
- I told you for a fun! - Fun? Why?
I wanted to see your reaction when I told...
...a lie that the letter has come!
- But still you have... - Do you have any sense?
Is my love fun for you?
You would know the pain of it only when you are in love.
It is very painful if a letter didn't come.
- Forgive me. - This is the last time.
Don't have any such plays with me in future.
Why did you lie mom?
- Didn't you go for work? - No.
Here is a letter for you.
- Tell me. - There is a call from Calcutta!
- It is your son! - Phone? I'll come.
Yes dad! How are you?
I'm fine!
- What is it? - There is no letter from Nadira for 3 months.
There is not any information in the last letter.
I don't know what has happened.
I feel very sad about it.
Do you think every time is the same?
There will be some problem in the family.
I think she is an intelligent girl.
Can you go to Nagore and see what is wrong?
I don't have any leave and I can't come.
Unless I know what has happened to Nadira...
...I wouldn't be able to work here.
You don't come. You shouldn't take any leave frequently.
I'I go there and find out and tell you.
Dad's words made my worries light.
Dad is a friend for me too.
The morning started with the thoughts of dad who might have gone to Nagore by now!
From Madras to Nagore!
I called him in the morning at 10!
He told me that he has met Nadira and talked to her dad!
Her dad has suffered a loss in his business.
So she thought it wouldn't be wise to write letters then.
That's why she has refused to write.
There is no other problems as yet, right? Will it affect our marriage?
Did they tell anything like that?
We can't say what changes will happen and when!
Don't take it to your brain that everything will happen as we think.
Did you tell her to write letter or should I write?
Write to her after 10 days!
Believe that everything will be fine.
I'm here in the belief that you are keeping fine...
...and your brother in the belief that you are everything for us.
My love, Nadira!
Like the fish which swim in the tears my eyes are changed.
I'm writing to you with this handicap.
I couldn't make out how you are...
...as there is no letter from you.
This tragedy is been very agonizing for me...
...during night and day which you are not aware of.
Those days were joyous when I received your letter!
Your letters were meant to enquire about me.
They are painful for me like thorn bush...
...and I wonder how to tell it.
Nadira! Nadira!
You are always in my thoughts!
Nadira! Nadira!
I have vanished into nothingness.
You have gone very far away from me!
I cried like a woman.
You've just frozen into silence.
Nadira! Nadira!
I have vanished into nothingness.
Before the nights have come totally to a standstill...
...let your letter in detail come to me.
I end up this letter, in the belief that...
...the words you write will give me a new life.
Love forever... D. Lenin.
Nadira! Nadira!
You are always in my thoughts!
Nadira! Nadira!
I have vanished into nothingness.
You have gone very far away from me!
I cried like a woman.
You've just frozen into silence.
Nadira! Nadira!
I have vanished into nothingness.
Who is it? Whom do you want?
They have gone to office.
Come after five when they will be available.
No! I want to see Nadira Jalalutheen.
They have sold this house 3 month ago.
Now we are staying here.
They have sold this house 3 month ago.
Now we are staying here.
Madam!
- What is it brother? - Is it true what you are telling?
Are you their guest?
- Can you call them here? - Brother!
Can't you understand what I say?
Who is it?
He has come in search of the previous occupants.
It is 4 months since we bought this house.
We are outsiders.
We don't know anything about them.
If you need any information you can enquire in the neighborhood.
- You can go. - No
- Sir! - What dear?
Where did Jalalutheen and family go...
...and where are they staying?
I don't know. We came to know only after a week or so...
...after they have left.
We are in a puzzle as to where they have gone.
We don't even know that they have sold this house.
We don't understand the reason for them to sell the house.
- Who are you and which is your native? - No!
- Where is post office? - Here it
POST OFFICE!
Greetings sir!
Jalalutheen Maraikkayar was in 24-Mohamed Kazim street.
- Yes! - They have vacated the house and gone.
Do you know where they have gone?
Who are you and what is your name?
Where are you coming from?
I'm from Madras! My name is Lenin.
No. There is no such an information here.
You do one thing. Give me an application!
We will let you know when we get any information.
You may leave.
It was shocking for us, what Jalalutheen has done.
He didn't inform his relatives too.
I wonder why.
We have searched for them all over our territory.
We didn't get any information about them.
If they are in any corner of the world and are in any problem...
Nagore Andavar will save them.
I am her friend, Bhuvana! Turn away, Lenin!
- Sir! - Tell me.
- Is Bhuvana here? - Who are you?
My name is Lenin!
I'm coming from Madras.
- What is the matter? - Nadira is her classmate.
I want to enquire about her.
Does she belong to Marakkayar family?
Wait for sometime. Call Bhuvana.
- What is it dad? - He belongs to Marakkayar family.
He wants to enquire about Nadira.
Do you know where Nadira family is?
I don't know anything.
It's long time since I saw her.
No! I was wondering why... What for...?
I know nothing.
She was your college. She must have told you.
Tell me.
Sir! Nadira's family and mine are known each other for long.
There is no information where they are now.
As your daughter is her colleague I wanted to enquire.
I too don't know anything.
I wonder what happened to her and whereabouts of her family.
There is no information about her till now.
What else? Give your address.
I will let you know if anything comes in about her.
You go in.
Their servant Jamal will be around the garden.
He knows about the matter.
Who is it? Whom do you want?
Who is he?
He is coming running so fast.
Is it you?
- Where is Nadira's family? - I don't know it sir.
They didn't tell anything to me.
Weren't you their servant?
You might have seen me when I came there.
I know nothing. How do I know where they have gone?
- I don't know anything. - Tell
Don't beat me.
- Leave me sir. - Tell me.
I don't know where they have gone.
- Tell me Jamal. - Leave me sir.
I don't know anything sir.
I don't know sir.
I don't know anything sir.
Tell me.
I won't leave you if you don't tell me.
- Tell me. - I don't know anything sir.
Leave him.
Leave me sir. I don't know anything. - I'll tell you.
Forgive me, Lenin.
I couldn't tell anything before my dad.
Where is Nadira?
I went to her house to see her after the class is over.
She was looking rather worried.
I knew that her dad didn't agree with you really.
After you have left her house her dad's behavior has changed.
That has made her to worry much.
He instructed her mom to keep a watch on her.
He would read the letters you send her before handing over to her.
He told her to show the letters to him before she puts...
...in the post box which were addressed to you.
A few letters had been torn away by him.
Some letters were written by Nadira to you without knowing to her dad.
He went and collected those from the post office.
He tortured her for writing them.
Poor girl. She couldn't inform you anything.
...and she was very agonized by that.
You were not informed as it was for her studies.
As Nadira was very much in love with you...
She wouldn't care it, if the God himself have...
...told her to forget the love matter.
Her dad knew it, and hence he made you and her believe by sheer act.
He thus turned everyone fools.
There is no problem until something becomes habitual.
After getting used to it it is difficult to get rid of it.
Where will you go without a language?
What will you do without a life?
When the water is been dried up...
...how can the fish swim?
As the sky has fallen,...
... what is the use of a roof to live in?
Why do I care if the world gets destroyed?
MADRAS 150KM
If there is no way out, there is no use telling this.
How will you see if there is no vision?
What is the use if the flower blossom without smell?
If the breathe has stopped there is no use of air to respire.
What if I break into pieces like glass?
Nadira's whereabouts being unknown.
Without knowing what has happened...
...and where she has gone! Why such a decision?
Why has her dad done that?
I am worried where she has gone.
I went to the hospital where I met Nadira.
There, her mom...
Open the door.
What are you doing?
It's so hot! I came walking.
Why have you switched off the phone?
I wanted you to come to bus stand...
Did dad have so much pain in his mind?
Everyone has a love failure for sure.
Once they come to know the reason...
...they tend to forget the agony very fast.
They would make their life happy once again.
But in dad's love without knowing the reason...
...he has lost a love and lover!
That agony was in his mind till the end.
He would go in search for her.
For 10 days... 20 days...!
No body knows where he goes.
He would come home then.
He could not overcome from the memories till the end.
He cared us much as a husband and a dad!
He disclosed about his love to me.
He told me he was marrying me for the sake of his dad.
Before marrying me he asked me...
...whether I agree to it or not.
Hence after our marriage, he didn't ask me or tell me anything about that.
A good husband, a good dad...
...a good son, a good man, above all.
He won't hurt any life!
I have applied my affection on his wound in his mind.
That's all.
He was terribly vexed that...
...he could not see Nadira till end.
That's why I have kept safe all these as his mind!
- I feel like seeing her. - Why dear?
These letters were written for her...
...and kept with him, without knowing her address.
I want to give all these to her.
We don't know what is in these.
These would have the matter which dad wanted to tell her!
I want to find her out wherever she is in this world...
I have to give her all these.
Dad's soul would be blissful only then.
Dad couldn't find her out in so many years...
...and how would you able to find her out after all these years?
- I can mom. - The world has advanced much so far!
As communication has progressed the world has shrunk!
I can find her out easily.
I'm quite confident.
I wanted to do that to him, as a son!
Ok! Find her out.
How is it? They waited for 30 days just for writing a letter!
Tension mounts up if you don't reply for an SMS!
It is ok if you have understood now.
For how many years she went missing?
- Tell it correct. - It was 71-72.
That is 38 years.
- 38 years? - Yes!
How can it be found out without any details after 38 years?
No. They didn't search after 5 years!
After that she could have come there again!
Won't we get more details about this if we enquire in Nagore mosque?
- We shall enquire with Ashradh! - Ok!
We shall enquire in Nagore from there!
- You do one thing! - Tell me.
Nobody has come. There is no connection!
But one of the brothers was in Madras.
It seems he had come to attend their wedding 14 or 15 years ago!
Rowther here says that he had met him!
If so, we would know if ask to the brother, right?
Ibrahim Marikayar was in Thiruvallikeni!
I heard that he has shifted his house.
If you want his address, I'll enquire and call you!
It is needed very much.
Enquire about it and let me know.
30 to 35 years before, your dad came to our house.
We were in Thiruvallikeni then.
I remember it very much.
My dad didn't reply what your dad has asked.
He has hidden it.
If I give the address after so many years nothing would happen.
But her permission is needed before I give Nadira's address.
Do one thing. Give me your contact address.
I'll talk to her in the phone and inform you.
Right?
Dad! Why do you talk harsh like that to them?
This boy is Lenin's son!
What is the use in poking into the past?
It might be for a good cause!
You don't know anything.
She is living comfortably!
Why all this after so many years?
Son! You don't worry unnecessarily!
They won't take Nadira with them.
Do whatever you like.
They are talking, right?
- Has Nadira called us? - No, she didn't.
- Don't take it otherwise. - Be quiet!
Dad is a hangover from the old generation.
I know your intention of coming here.
You don't need to worry about it.
I'll give her address to you.
Give me your phone number.
I'll give you the address.
The address is delivered. Look it.
- Who do you want to see? - Come in.
Who are you? Who are you searching for?
- Are you from Tamil Nadu? - Yes
- Your name? - Mahesh.
Please come in. Come.
All can go in. I'll bring madam. Come
- Come - I will bring madam.
- Who is this? - Want to see mom.
- Greetings to you. - Please sit.
What dear? Do you want to see me?
- My name is Mahesh. I'm from Chennai. - Please sit.
See! Mother is calling you!
What is the matter? How do you know me?
I'm Lenin's son.
How is Lenin?
- Dad has died... - What?
...about 5 years ago.
Pardon me for bothering you by...
...reminding you about the past.
From dad's box I took his diary...
...the letters you wrote and read all that.
I came to know how much my dad liked you!
These letters were found in the box...
...with your address on them without posting!
He has kept it safe in the box...
...to send you after getting your address.
I don't know what he has written in these.
I thought it is wise to be with you.
I managed to get your address.
I brought these with me to give you!
That's why I came here.
Nadira! How are you? Where are you?
I was keen on getting the affection's address.
You gave me the love's address!
I'm drowned in the depth of nothingness...
...now without any address.
No epics have seen a lover writing a letter...
...in the lost address!
My name will be in the epics in future.
I was vexed if I wouldn't get the only line saying you are fine...
...that I was waiting for the last 3 years like centuries!
I am still waiting at your door like a beggar...
...with tears in my eyes.
Love begins in search and ends up in losing it.
I wonder who has written it.
I happen to inhale your breath in Nagore beach...
In the streets of Karaikkal college where you learned literature...
...in the post office from where you sent your letters to me...
...I registered my search and agony...
...from the day I came to Madras exhausted and agonized, where ever...
...lslamic people live I searched from that day...
...till now after searching for you.
I was sure that I will come to you somehow.
...and I am struggling with my life.
Wherever I search, I couldn't find a girl...
...as charming like you in this universe.
Nadira! After seeing me being tattered...
...after searching you, my dad became sick once again.
He forces me like a child to marry another girl.
He was worried much about my brother after him.
He was adamant that he wouldn't have any medicine till I tell my decision...
...thus breaking the walls of my love.
I was gasping for air by the love's burden.
Won't you appear before me like a goddess one day?
What has separated us?
I was certain that somehow...
...I could meet you before my end...
...the few years which I wanted to live.
Dear! The branches of the trees are growing!
The leaves fall down and bud up again!
The flowers also fall down and bud up again!
No trees stop blossoming of the flowers because of a death...
The seed of that tree is the seed which brought...
...you as mine.
You are in me in wide expanse!
Even if I die without seeing you...
...these letters will come to you definitely.
That day the world would definitely...
...feel the strength of our genuine love!
We shall live till that happens!
Shall I...
...talk to your mom?
Of course you can!
- Mom! I am Mahesh here. - Tell me.
- Have you seen her? - One minute.
Mom is talking.
Hello! Greetings!
Tell me.
Are you fine?
I am fine.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for your broad mindedness.
I understand it from your sending your son!
You had fully understood Lenin!
I'm satisfied...
...that he has got a better girl than me.
How many children are there for you?
What are they doing?
I could not able to talk to you.
You should be gracious! You should...!
Mom! I am leaving, mom!
Mom! You should come to India!
You have someone there as your own!
You should definitely come.
Farewell then!
From Nadira to Lenin!
Forgive me...
...for everything.
...for not writing letter...
...for killing our love and burying it...
...for being without seeing you...
For everything!
Past 38 years!
They are the black pages in my life!
I have failed after fighting with my dad.
Finally, I isolated myself.
By refusing to marry...
...I was able to penalize those who punished me.
In my sister's support and...
...the affectionate nature of my sister's children,
I have been waiting for you, all these years!
I've been wondering, why I should live a life without you...
...and what is the reason of my life!
Now I have found out the meaning of it...
...with the help of your letters.
I will come and meet you soon!
I won't leave you henceforth.
Forever yours, Nadira!
