"Love spares none"
Rukmini.
I can't take it anymore. I'll jump off the running train.
Forget it, you will dance. - Sing a nice song, and I'll dance.
I'm not dancing to your silly tune. - Silly tune? It's worth your dance.
When're you jumping off the train? - What...?
As if you're a great danseuse.
So you are Kutty? - Yes.
Are you Tamil? - Yes.
We're also going to Madras. - We thought Kutty must be a girl...
but it turned out otherwise. But it's all right. We can't flirt with you...
but our girls will flirt with you. So enjoy.
Obviously, we can't flirt with a jumbo like you. Get out of the way.
Easy, there's plenty of space. - Plenty? Let him go, you mountain.
Go on.
"The breeze which carries the music doesn't have any form"
"If there is no breeze music can't be heard"
"Just one note from the breeze, and it steals my heart away"
"But I can never see the breeze"
"Life is a quest, I lose my heart in searching it"
Nice song. I'm Banu.
Why is everyone disturbing him? Let me introduce everyone.
He's Mohan from Madras 10.
Beats you? 10 is to the south, you see.
This is Priya. That's Bama.
And I'm Guru. A Guru to all of them.
We finished our educational tour in Mumbai, and are heading home now.
Are you working in Pune?
Business?
No. - Then were you on a tour, like us?
Then where are you coming from?
From prison.
After seven years of imprisonment in the Pune Jail.
Don't lie, sir. - You're just kidding, I guess.
Stop kidding, sir.. - Quiet. Can't you figure?
He's so emotional, and you think it's a joke?
Seven years sentence is decreed for crimes such as attempted murder...
rape and robbery. What's your crime?
I've taken your luggage upstairs. And your grandma has paid me.
Jasmine. You like it?
So you're the new tenant here? - Yes darling.
Grandma... - You're here, Ruku?
Have you shifted all your belongings from that house?
Everything, grandma.
Wasn't that house too congested? And look at this house.
Even after stacking all your stuff there's so much of empty space, no?
I like the house. - So what if I don't like it?
Your college is nearby. What matters is your convenience.
Ruku, today is the Festival of Lights. On this auspicious day...
the house mustn't be in the dark. So I've cleaned up all the lamps...
oiled them, and fixed the wicks, too. Light them up after you've taken bath.
Okay grandma. - My princess.

You look worried. - Life is boring.
Why? - Eve-teasing leads to the prison.
So the guys aren't teasing anymore.
As she said, no one is teasing isn't it...? Then why're you torturing?
I was expecting you, Ruku. We were supposed to perform...
for the orphans tonight. Our singer, Kavita, has taken ill.
I tried bringing in professional groups.
But all of them refused for want of time.
Tickets have been sold out. It'd be bad if we don't perform.
I'm in a tight spot.
Madam, there's a guy in our neighbourhood who sings well.
If you wish, we can ask him to sing.
A fresher might ruin the programme, Ruku.
Oh no madam, I have never heard such a voice.
My Father was a Carnatic singer. This guy has the same pitch.
His song made me forget myself.
If you have no objections... - If you can bank on him...
let's engage him.
I've only heard his voice, haven't seen him.
Can we go and find him?
All right, Ruku, let's go together after the first period.
Gosh, it's nine! I was dreaming.
I've got to open the shop. Where the hell is my wife?
It's nine, and the chap must've opened the shop. While I'm still here.
How'll the other customers feel if I go late?
I didn't get bed-coffee. What's holding you in the newspaper?
Wife hacks husband to thirteen pieces.
Forget the coffee. What about hot water for my bath?
Wife kills her husband smashing a grinder on his head.
Goodness! Wives have resolved to kill their husbands!
So this is The Week of Killer Wives.
Oh no! The Week of Bathing in Chilled Water. I'm already late.
Won't you serve me breakfast? - It'll take another 2 to 3 hours.
2 to 3 hours...? At noon? That's called a lunch, not breakfast.
I'm wasting my time here. Well, have you ironed my trouser?
It's hung out to dry. Even a washed trouser is more than what you deserve.
If this is how it goes, you know what'll make news tomorrow?
What? - A sensational murder in Madras.
Husbands brutally cuts up wife to forty-six pieces.
I'll be late to the shop. - You don't have to return early.
Good day.
Water filled vessels are a good omen. Let's go and begin the day.
The chap hasn't opened it yet. How will the business flourish?
Even the studios shop and the lottery stalls open up early morning.
Why're you late? - I was sleeping?
Sleeping? How come? - Saw a movie last night.
Open it. Our business will be ruined if we watch movies at nights. Open!
Even the birds sleep. But do they sleep even after four?
Don't they set out in a flock for work? What good is a man...
who can't go to work even at ten? Look at him.
The moneylender opens shop at five in the morning.
And there's one of us borrowing, and pawning his vessels.
Ironically, we keep the most essential stuff.
If you keep opening the shop late, won't our clients switch shop? Open!
Quick, give me a quarter.
Forty-six bucks. - You're telling me the rate?
I've been drinking since the time it was priced 6.40. Give it to me.
No more credits, boss says. - Come again.
No more credits, boss said. - Did he? Faithless dog.
My family helped your boss in his bad days. Fine, I'll come with the money.
But you won't sell a peg before I return. If you do, I'll cut your arm.
Brother don't want..
I wanted to have a swig. And you shut shop? You want to ruin my mood?
Who taught you to drink? - You're my Guru.
When I'm not drinking today, how can you? Down the shutter.
No one buys before I return. Shut it.
It's a insult to my family if I don't buy first.
Let me recover the cable TV charges.
Why do you have to sift the rice? Just boil it with all those insects.
It's the cable TV agent. - Right. You're late...
in paying this month's charges. - What? Cable TV charges?
Yes. - How many times shall we pay?
We've already paid it to Kutty. Get lost.
Kutty...? How about the next month's charges in advance?
Advance is what you guys come asking when you don't have money to drink.
You won't get it. Get lost. - Does she take me for a beggar?
Stop. - The young woman was insulting.
She's my daughter-in-law. What right has she to refuse?
I'm her mother-in-law. Let me tell you ...I'm not paying up. Get lost.
Clashing egos, eh? And you found a scapegoat in me?
Kutty, because of you I was insulted by this duo. I'll fix you.
Who's sleeping here? Wake him up! - Hush. He sang all night.
Don't wake up the poor chap. - Then how do I enter?
Want to come in? For a nice cup of tea? Then grab the other end.
What about the dog...?
Hey Nair! As it is business is slack, and you think you're doing any good?
D'you take me for a fool? - If you're wise...
you'll pass it on. Cur.
Damn the morning! You wastrel, pick it up.
He made me to lift it up in the morning itself.
Hold tight.
Dump.
Moron! Take that out of here! - Pick it up.
Greetings, Trouser Pandi. - Greetings accepted.
Trouser Pandi is coming. If anyone gives him mutton, I'll hack him up.
No Bhai, he's dangerous. He might do anything untoward.
Shut up!
So how are you, Bhai?
Curse the swine who gave me this tin. It won't hold ten kilos of mutton.
Give me two kilograms of mutton. - As much as you wish... for a price.
Come again. - Money, money.
To whom are you asking money? I'm Trouser Pandi, you know.
Just fill my tin, okay? I'll pay you later. I have guests at home.
What're you waiting for? This goat, when it was alive, it was stubborn...
and used to graze everywhere. Now you see it's state? It's cut up and hung.
That's life. And how much will you eat?
Once you eat, it's gone. Fill it! - Don't you test my patience!
No money, no buy. Get out of here. - You are talking to me?
You hack goats, and I'm used to cut up humans. Just fill my can.
No way! Get lost! - What's this? It's not a goat.
It's a lamb. You're cheating people. And you ask me money? Swine!
A cow ate up the gate of the house where we fixed the cable yesterday.
How can a cow eat the gate? - "Pull" (grass ) was written on it.
Don't you dare cook up something like that again.
Kalyana Sundaram, check if we're getting ESPN. Kalyana Sundaram!
Look at him, he doesn't even hear my screams.
Relax. Kalyani!
Yes? - Figure something?
What're you doing in front of the mirror?
Just checking if the mark suits my forehead. Can you tell?
Damn!
Have you noticed him? Of late he has changed drastically.
He decorates the veranda, never misses a TV show on cooking...
and the talk shows on women. I just can't figure out anything.
I saw two braziers in the bathroom.
I think he's undergoing hormonal changes. I'll keep a watch.
Here he comes for the cable charges.
Where's Kutty? - Where's Kutty?
He's sleeping. He tired himself out singing all night.
As if he tired himself out signing autographs for a million audience.
I gave him a cable TV contract. Did he give you the sub-contract?
As if you're building flyovers. He might be sleeping in the veranda.
Someday I'll air an new movie and get him locked up in prison.
Don't make a murderer out of me. - Miserable drunkard wants to murder!
Damn! This has ruined business.
I've been honking for so long, yet he doesn't even turn. I'll fix him.
Don't. This is a notorious place, full of thugs.
Looks as if this chap has been on a murder spree.
Saw that? The blood on the blade hasn't even dried.
Don't mess with him. - You're right.
This is where I heard the man sing.
Where? - Near the Titan ad.
We don't know him. How'll we find him?
Are you drunk? - No money. I'll kill you.
Will you lend me money? One quarter liquor costs 46.
No. Someone here sings well. Do you know him?
His is Kutty. Why do you want him? - I'm Rukmini. I study...
in the college nearby. We're doing a programme for the orphans.
We want him to sing. - Indeed, he's a great singer.
I'm also looking for the rascal. If I lay my hands on him today...
I'll have him for side-dish. Louse. - If you don't know him, say no.
Why do you have to abuse him? - I'll abuse me as I wish.
Useless rascal! Scum-rascal! Beggar-rascal! Loony rascal!
I'll call him any names. Who are you to ask me? I want only 46 bucks.
Aren't you ashamed? - What for? This is how I call him.
I've got a silver tongue, you know. All I want is 46 bucks.
Shame! You look decent, but you don't seem to know how to give respect.
Damn! If you take everyone dressed in white for decent ones...
it's your fault, not mine.
Quiet Ruku.
Will you lend me money? - Please go away. Come on Ruku.
Madam, do I look decent? But I never asked you for a character certificate.
You could've given me 46 bucks instead.
Madam, please give me 46 bucks, and I'll give you a cable connection.
Why is it crowded here? A traffic snarl?
Why aren't the vehicles moving? - Someone is sleeping...
in the middle of the road, with a blood-stained dagger by his side.
Someone is sleeping in the middle of the road, and no one bothers?
Relax, we don't want trouble. - When we overlook wrongdoings...
this is how they take liberties. Stay here, I'll be right back.
Goodness! Ruku, let's go. Come on.
He's lying in the middle of the road. And all you guys are looking at him?
Aren't you ashamed?
Why are the vehicles lined up here? - You slept in the middle of the road.
Who the hell brought me here?
Rascal!
Did you tease the girl? - No.
Why is she abusing you? - Bad luck.
Mind your business.
How did the butcher's knife reach here?
Will you move it? - Get lost!
Don't mind. This is how favour is rewarded in our country. Move.
Who has been the first customer ever since this shop was inaugurated?
You.
Will you keep quiet?
I'm not given credit. Is it fair?
Wine shops are shut on all the public holidays.
But a day before the holiday, I buy and stack my dose.
If not for customers like me will they be able to pay tax to the government?
Look, my hands are trembling...
Who the hell is that? Oh, welcome sir.
You, my wife and everyone first branded me a drunk.
Then you threw me alms, gave me few houses to collect cable TV charges.
That provides for the liquor, not for soda. So I drink it neat.
Where's the cable TV charges? I don't have money to buy a swig.
You want me to steal? - One quarter Old Monk.
Kutty, you've started drinking? - Yes.
If you want to drink, you must also know how to open a bottle. Give.
Here. - It's for you.
Really?
Don't think it's charity. I'm very particular about money. Where's it?
Come on. - Learn to behave well with customers.
Had this been America, I'd have sued you. Go on, guys.
99 per cent of our population are alcoholics. What good is you?
I didn't steal your money. Someone from whom you had borrowed money...
had gone to your house and screamed at your wife. I couldn't take it.
No matter what, your wife has fed me. So I gave the money to that chap.
Someone abused my wife, and you couldn't take it. I abused you...
beyond limits. How could you take it? - That's liquor elicited sentiments.
Alcoholics cry after a drink because liquor is laced with glycerine.
I abused you, I can't take it. So let me have a quarter.
Wait. When did you abuse me? - Behind your back.
A girl called Rukmini came looking for you. I abused you before her.
Who is Rukmini? -She wants you to sing for the orphans.
The orphanage won't pay you, so I just avoided her.
Moron! A girl came looking for me with a proposal to sing...!
I don't mind your abuses. But when I could've got an opportunity...
to sing, you ruined it. Did she tell you the place?
How could she? I was abusing you. But she was quite fair.
Nothing else is registered in my mind, I was not drunk you see.
Why am I talking to a drunkard? - Why is he taking it to heart?
"If there is no breeze music can't be heard"
"Just one note from the breeze, and it steals my heart away"
"But I can never see the breeze"
"Life is a quest, I lose my heart in searching it"
"Who cares for colours when you are blind?"
"You can't see the eye which sees the colour"
"Music of cuckoo is enough why do I want a cuckoo?"
"Feeling is enough do I need it's form"
"If reality meets the eyes imagination will come to an end"
"If reality remains elusive imagination will keep dreams on"
"This search is also a feeling of happiness like this song"
"If there is no breeze music can't be heard"
"Just one note from the breeze, and it steals my heart away"
"But I can never see the breeze"
"Life is a quest, I lose my heart in searching it"
Look, there's someone peeping inside the loo.
What happened? - Someone's peeping.
Scum!
Nothing wrong in chasing decent girls.
But you should be sure she isn't wearing sandals.
Something's lacking in his face. - Yes, the moustache.
It was ruining my face, so I got rid of it. But your moustache is sexy.
Stop that. Give me a fag.
Got a light? - At home.
Excuse me. You got a matchbox? - Acting smart, eh?
Take it easy. Someday you might badly need it, so better keep it handy.
I hate teasing girls. Goodbye. - What's his problem?
Where is Ice House? - In the freezer.
Ask him. It's his speciality. Make sure you rid him of few bucks, Pandi.
Hello sir. - Walk on.
Where to? - Ice House.
If you go straight, you'll find a shop. Don't go in.
Walk dead straight till you find a beach. Don't go for a swim.
Take a left, you'll find our leader, M.G Ramachandran's memorial.
He has done a lot for the people. You know the lamp on his memorial?
I don't know where it is. Never mind, you don't have to light it.
To the left, you'll find several towns, don't venture in.
You'll find All India Radio at the right, and an estate up ahead.
To the left is an Ayyappan temple. Oh, what a sight!
Sonofagun! Say a prayer! - Lord Ayyappa!
Well, where do you want to go? - I don't know.
Ass! You're roaming about destination unknown?
Fine. Are you going to Mandavali? - No.
Mailapur? - No.
Rayapet? - No.
Sonofagun! Where do you want to go? We've reached the Big Ben, Ice House.
That's my destination.
Moron! Go on. - See you!
See you, my foot! Cough up a hundred!
What for? - You ask?
The cabbie would've fleeced you of 400 bucks.
I've shown you 40 kilometres around the city. Give me 100 bucks. Pronto!
Turkey! Are you scratching?
Well, why have you come to Big Ben? - To see the time!
Really? Makes my day.
Greetings Madan. You're great. You've so many lovers.
I told you! I hate glory.
Sunil is my friend. His girlfriend studies in the college nearby.
He wants to take her to the matinee show. But she's inside the campus.
The guard won't let him in. Besides, if he tries the maingate it'll be late.
Boss, you're the only one who can do something to get him in.
The point is, Anita should meet him? - Right.
What do I call this role I'm playing? - Agent.
And you want me to do this? - Nothing wrong and nothing new in it.
It's a great social service. Let's do it.
I'll do it for my friend.
Wait a minute... I'll come.
You've become a star overnight. You're the talk of the college.
Kutty deserves all the credit. I'm being lauded for singing his song.
Imagine what'd have been the response had Kutty himself sung the song?
Don't worry, we'll find him and get him to sing in our college function.
Call the tall hero. - Go on.
Women's College maingate is two kilometres away. I'll make it easy.
You'll have your wish. Now the flag... - Praise the Lord.
Anita look, your boyfriend sends you a message in a slate.
Gosh! This chap is annoying. How did he find me out? Excuse me.
Who gives him such ideas?
Thinking of love isn't just enough, you need brains to work it out.
Anyway, stay alert. You might see a sandal flying in.
How long? The show might begin. - Be patient, or I'll smash your head.
The girls might be at the canteen. But your flame should be coming now.
You bet? - Just watch.
Why have you hung the slate, Sunil? - I got two tickets for a new movie.
I'm not coming. - Are you kidding? I paid 200...
in the black market for the tickets. The movie is running houseful.
Then why did you buy them? We weren't going to watch the movie anyway.
All right, come to the maingate, I'll wait for you.
I can never forget this favour. Please accept a small gift.
What for? - For your help.
What's the gift? - Money.
I've done a noble deed. That I'm an agent, you've confirmed it.
You ought to be kicked out! - Where's my slate?
Hanging up. Take it.
They turn my tables into carom boards, glasses into wine glass...
and my account slate into a flag. This is too much!
Lord Ganapati, thanks for getting my song across the audience.
I brought You to the garden instead of offering you flowers. You know why?
Lord, see how the flowers here are smiling in joy.
When I pluck flowers, I can feel them grieving.
My Mother gave me all these plants. If I see the plants withering...
I feel... like my Mother is unwell.
So, for two minutes everyday if You come and visit these plants...
You and my plants will have nothing to lose then. Don't be angry, Lord.
This guy came to my shop and asks me, "Will you give me credit?"
All right, continue after the tea.
Money for Kutty. His Mother sends him money order.
Bhai, how much does he owe you? - 150.
And you, Nair? - 17 7.50.
Raid!
"Money, money, money"
"Bright new notes..."
"attract me"
"The design is seductive"
"The bill is alluring"
"Let's win over Kashmir..."
"and hoist a currency flag"
"Let's knock the doors of heaven, and show our visiting card"
"If they don't open the doors, let's give them a hundred rupee bill"
"Money, money, money"
"Money lures girls, money causes fights"
"Governments rise and fall, money makes it all"
"The earth rotates, but the wheels that run a family are in reins"
"And man traverses blindly"
"Let's go, lady, looking for money"
"From the fields to the forests, money is everywhere"
"Money makes lions out of small fries"
"Money makes even the mountains cave in"
"Even the dead rise when coins ring"
"Money cracks even the supremacists"
"So let's go, lady, looking for money"
"Money makes even the wrong right"
Accounts settled. - Thank God, all loans repaid.
For you and the puppy.
Puppy, milk for you.
You cleared all your debts. You even gave the dog milk.
Couldn't you give this dog 46 bucks? I'd have guzzled in a quarter by now.
Kutty, I don't understand something. You work hard and send 2000 bucks...
to your mother. Then your mother sends you 1000 back. Why?
The postal department gets commission twice. Just think...
if you send only 1000 bucks, it'll save money for buying me half a drink.
How silly! - Shut up. It is no joke.
It gives me mental peace. - How do you find mental peace...
by wasting money on postal service? - All I have is my Mother.
And all my Mother has is me.
In the village, my Mother works in the fields. I send her 2000...
She wants to make my life easier. So she sends back 1000 to me.
I find peace in sending money to my Mother.
Likewise, she finds mental peace in sending her son money.
600 kilometres' circulation of money is a bloody waste of commission.
You can see nothing but the commission. But I...
I see the attachment between my Mother and me.
If you ridicule me again, you'll have had it.
All right, do as you wish. Send her money everyday if you want.
Just give me 46 bucks. Look, my hands are trembling for a drink.
Bloody pest!
Here, four bucks change. - Buy yourself some pickles.
Hey! A quarter for me!
My wedding is fixed. I can't freak out anymore like you.
Really, I didn't know you're going to marry.
Shall I reveal my identity to her?
Yes, I must. I must thank her for appreciating my song.
Have you seen your man? You like him? - Yes.
I'll give you the invite as soon as the card is ready.
You must sing at the reception. - I told you, I can't sing.
How come you sang at the programme? - It was madam's request.
She didn't want to drop function, so I sang Kutty's song.
What I'll do is find Kutty and get him to sing at your wedding. Okay?
Okay. But don't you forget.
Rascal! How dare you touch me?
I...? It wasn't me.
Don't I know you? You think no one would dare to question you?
You travel in the bus to have fun? Shove him out!
Who's that? - Some street-singer.
Is the name Kutty...? - Who knows. Come, let's go.
Is he Kutty? - No idea.
Is his name Kutty? - No idea.
Do you know him?
Who knows his name! He used to wander about streets singing.
He was run over while crossing the road. He is dead now.
We 're asking you to come isn't it....?
Excuse me... - Mind your own business.
Are you feigning surprise? You didn't even tell me about it.
I can't get you. - I thought you only sing well.
But today I've found out that you're a good poetess too.
Your poetry "Love" is published in Ananda Vigadan magazine.
And you've won the first prize, too.
It's a happy news. But why are you glum?
She's scared we might ask a treat. - We're not sparing her, anyway.
She's taking us to Beach Castle.
Not a penny in the pocket, and he comes asking tea.
Milk for me.
Did you see that? Kutty is brooding.
Kutty, will you have tea? - Shut up. Kutty is dreaming.
Dreaming what? - Can't tell you, moron. Have tea.
Look, your beau has hung that again. Go and have a chat with him.
Sunil, what is it?
Is it Anita? Where had you been? Your lover is a pain in the neck.
Sorry, the delay irked me.
Lord, when will You change my profession. Let's go, buddy.
It's a newly released Tamil movie, nice storyline.
Not much crowd, though. I've got two balcony tickets.
I'll be waiting for you at the maingate.
I can't go anywhere today. - Why?
Tonight, Ruku is throwing a party. - What for?
Ruku's poem is published in Ananda Vigadan. We're going to celebrate it.
I wander like the clouds searching for you, O Moon.
Beautiful poem.
"I wander like the clouds..."
"searching for you, my love"
"Oh, how do I let you know?"
"Oh, when'd I find you?"
"O my love"
"I dream about you even with my eyes open... is this just the beginning?"
"My heart is not in place... is this love?"
"Love seems wonderful... or is my mind playing games with me?"
"Love seems so soothing... does it really hurt?"
"O my love"
"If you come to me, my heart will rain showers of joy"
"If you talk to me, the Spring will spread its fragrance"
"You're the poetry of my life. I wait for the day..."
"when you will come and breathe life into me"
"O my love"
"I wander like the clouds..."
"searching for you, my love"
"I wander like the clouds..."
"in search of you, my Moon"
"Oh, how do I let you know?"
"Oh, when will you embrace me?"
"O my love"
Kutty, I enjoyed your song. Here's a special cup of tea for you.
Tea for me, Nair. - Milk for me, and coffee for him.
No tea for the audience. - Don't you insult us, Nair.
Someday you'll regret it. - And who says that? The freeloader.
You're no better.
Who is Madan? - This one.
Kidding, are you?
You think you're a stud? Have you You consider yourself a matchmaker?
Where's the Seth's daughter? -What'll you do if we don't tell you?
You'll destroy the hotel? Let's see if you are man enough.
Be brave, Nair. - Sir, I don't know him.
I own the hotel. - Shut up.
Seth, your daughter is as stubborn as you are.
If you don't let her marry her boyfriend. She'll kill herself.
It is true, Seth. Which is why we're helping her marry.
Please don't ruin it. I beg of you.
Lay off! I shall decide whether my daughter lives or dies.
If she dies, it'll be by my hands. Where's she?
Hear me out, Seth... - Skip the sentimental talks.
I'm talking to him. - And I'm talking to you!
Look, don't touch me. I'm warning! - Warn me.
The father wants his daughter dead.
Why are you hitting someone who wants to save her?
Hey bigmouth!
Why don't you say where the girl is? You think you're the don here?
Know who I am? Trouser Pandi is the name!
You know me? I'm Bell Bottoms Arrack!
Screaming in my own territory? You don't know me...
You touched me?
You hit me? You hit me again?
Don't just stand there, guys. Help!
You grabbed my trouser? - Yes. What'll you do?
Does this cheap trouser make you a wizard? Move it!
It's December. And man, I'm chilled to the bone!
No guests please. I'm on an important meeting.
Trouser Pandi, there's a riot out there. Please come to our help.
I had three encounters today, I'm tired. It's time for my drink. Go!
How many are they? - Ten men.
Ten...? And I can't handle one. Did you see a guy in a black shirt there?
No. - Good. Did you see my trouser?
You're wearing it. - All right, go on, I'll be there.
Come on. - Go on.
Good God! - What made him say that? Goodness!
Move it!
Lord, I've decided to stop drinking. I've been living like an half-human.
I want to become at least 90 per cent human. Give me the mental strength.
Save me from temptations, Lord! - It's strange to see you praying.
True darling.
You hate the sight of me because I'm an alcoholic.
So I had a drink and I seriously thought about why you hate me.
You're right in hating me. But I have no mistresses like others, you see.
Well, this face really deserves one! - Just making a comparison.
I've never troubled you for dowry. I know your pop is a pauper.
I never bother you for my favourite dishes. I know you don't cook so well.
Which means, I have all the qualities of a good human being save for one...
that's drinking. I've been drinking and making life miserable for you.
So I decided to completely abstain from drinking.
That's what I was discussing with God. - Are you serious?
If you don't believe me, ask Him. Lord, tell her.
If you could give me 50 bucks, I could get my hair cut and my beard trimmed.
I saw it coming. I know you too well.
With that 50 bucks you'll drink yourself into a stupor.
You're refusing a man who wants to turn a new leaf.
By you, by my cable TV, and by all my favourite programmes, I swear...
I won't even look at an empty bottle of wine.
Are you serious? - I swear.
Here. First shave that beard off. - Oh no, if I do that...
you might not recognise me and kick me out. Then I'll be wandering...
like an orphan. I'll just trim it. - Do what you want.
Is there where you keep your money? - Why?
Use a purse when you go out. - What's your problem?
Nothing, you might lure the men.
Mr.Mani, please come over here. - Don't call me, I'm not coming.
So you've changed? That's one resolve I've broken a thousand times.
Well, I can't open the bottle, help me. Come on.
We aren't made of same metal. What I resolve, I never break.
I don't care. Just break the seal for me.
I'm not coming. - You're an expert. Besides...
you have the willpower to resist temptation. Come on.
Come on.
Why do you want to kill me?
If you can't open a bottle, why do you drink?
Bottles in our city are badly sealed. You need to tap it up, tap it down...
and wring it, and that's it.
How's that? - Thank you. How about a drink?
I told you I've stopped drinking. - That's being true to one's resolve.
Boss asked me to give you on credit. - I told you! I've stopped drinking.
Dear Mother, I received the letter and money you sent.
There's something important. I have yet to make it big...
but my songs have found a fan.
But whenever I tried to meet her, circumstances have betrayed me.
She will understand me, and she could be the one who'd change my life.
I have written about everything, I'm also sending you money.
Take care of your health. With love - Kutty.
Sending money to your mother, Kutty? - Yes.
How about something for me?
I'll post the letter for you.
Where's madam? - There she is.
I was expecting you. Congratulations. You've topped in all the subjects.
If you maintain it, you can top the University in the final examination.
That'd pave your path for higher studies abroad.
No madam, I wish to go for the Indian Administrative Service (IAS ).
You said you'd give me the books for the IAS preliminary examinations.
Sure.
Thank you madam. - No mention.
What's wrong, madam?
What happened to Ruku in that accident?
You never saw her afterwards?
I saw her.
Lord, whenever I have met Ruku, something or the other goes wrong.
I see her after a long time now. I'm going to tell her that I am Kutty.
No slip up this time. Please take care of it.
Can you help me, please? - I'll do anything for you.
Please help me cross the road.
Please. I'm blind.
You're blind...? - Yes.
No joke? - Believe me.
You're lying. - Why'd someone pretend to be blind?
A few months back, in the college lab, because of a rascal...
an acid bottle burst, and I lost my eyesight.
I didn't do it on purpose. It just happened.
It happened by mistake.
I didn't do it on purpose. It happened by mistake.
You want to die? - It happened by mistake.
Doctor... - I'm a nurse.
A boy named Kutty was brought here in critical condition.
Where can I find him? - In 106.
You could've told this...
Goodness! You've shattered like a broken quarter litre liquor bottle.
You're the first to take me for a quarter litre liquor bottle.
Sorry, you're an Old Monk full bottle. - I'm not Kutty.
I know. I've come to the wrong place. - No. Nothing has happened to Kutty.
How do you know? - My car ran over him.
Sinner! If this is your state, I wonder how Kutty will be.
I'll kill you! - Help!
Relax, nothing is wrong with me. - What? I heard you met with...
a terrible accident, so I came running here. But you're in one piece.
Look, In a day I'm sober only for 15 to 20 minutes. Don't confuse me.
Really, I'm right before you, intact. - You were hit, but you are...
standing like a full bottle. And the one who ran over you, is lying here...
smashed like a quarter bottle. - Damn! Always droning about liquor!
Kutty lost consciousness after being hit. And when I got down...
and went to take a look at him, these three savages did this to me.
We boxed him. Instead of crying he laughed, so we clobbered him.
You too, Kalyani? - No, I gave him a bite.
He wanted to chew my lips, I escaped.
Kutty, hope you've no internal damages? - No.
How do you know? - I'm a doctor.
Doctor? - This hospital belongs to me.
I checked him up thoroughly.
Kutty, I need 46 bucks. - Don't drink and ruin your health.
Lay off. - Do me a favour. Get him out of here.
Sorry doctor, my friends acted in haste. Forgive me.
I lost my eyesight because of a scum.
This is boring, let's play chess. - Shut up and play this game.
How about some other game? - Lay off.
Play if you want to, else get lost.
How rude! He doesn't play with me, he doesn't goes out with me either.
Why don't you go out with him? - As him where he wanted to take me.
Where to? - To the Sexy Babes' show.
At the Naidu hall. - Damn!
Kutty, this one's miserable. Hey, what are you thinking so seriously?
I'll make him laugh. - How?
Why don't we find mosquitoes in sea? - Why?
Because of there're tortoises in the sea. - Know why tortoise is not a pet?
Why? - It's a curse for the family.
Like you are to us.
This time they've chosen the night. I think they're going to smash us.
For my daughter, I had come earlier with ruffians.
I've come once again, to apologise.
They say, repentance absolves you of your sins. Please don't apologise.
My Father loosened his stand and accepted both of us.
He wants to give us a grand wedding. - You will organise everything.
Why not? We shall make it memorable. Say what?
Of course. - Don't worry...
we'll take care of it. Kutty will sing for you.
My word. Everyone must attend the wedding. Bye.
Bye. - Praise the Lord.
Saw that? I fixed you a concert.
I don't miss an opportunity. You're going to sing for the wedding.
No, I'm not singing. - No? You were always looking...
for an invitation to sing. Now that you have the chance, you refuse?
I'm upset.
You used to sing when you were upset. Now you say you can't sing?
Friend, an artist should never let grief overcome him.
We're going to the wedding, and you're certainly singing.
What is it?
He'll sing.
I'll whack you. He will sing!
"You are the sheen of a million stars"
"You are the smile that blinds my eye"
"Your cheeks glitter like gold"
"Eyebrows like the arc of a bow"
"You are one in a million"
"All you need is eyes to see"
"When your tresses fly..."
"no man resist the lure"
"You lips are as sweet as honey..."
"oh, my heart craves for a kiss"
"Of what worth is man's life?"
"At your feet lies my world"
"Girl, you are one in a million"
"All you need is eyes to see"
"Like the blossoms in Spring..."
"your features abound"
"Even the Taj Mahal will lose its lustre..."
"but my love, the glow in your face is everlasting"
"Variety is the spice of a garden"
"You're the pride of the garden"
"Girl, you are one in a million"
"All you need is eyes to see"
"You are the light of a million stars"
"Yours is the smile that blinds me"
"Your cheeks glitter like gold"
"Eyebrows, like the arc of a bow"
"You are one in a million"
"All you need is eyes to see"
Excuse me...
My granddaughter wants to speak to you.
Kutty, I am Rukmini. My house is on the street next to yours.
I've never met you, but I've heard you sing.
My Father was an exponent of Carnatic music.
You've got his voice, so I enjoy your songs.
Kutty, I came looking for you several times, but I couldn't meet you.
I've met you today... but I can't see you.
I lost my eyesight in an accident.
I can't see you, but I'm happy that we've met.
Please visit us sometime. Bye.
We found Ruku's house.
One of you speak, please. Where does she stay?
Nearby. Just two streets away. - Fifth house after Nadar groceries.
House no six.
He's guessing how we found her out.
We just asked, "Where lives the pretty girl who bathes herself clean?"
And we heard a hundred men scream out her address.
Maybe you've never seen me bathe. - Dammit!
Know what? He bathes like a girl. - How do you know?
Unfortunately, I got to see it. - You did?
Ruku's parents are dead. She lives with her grandmother.
Her father was an exponent of Carnatic music. The family has seen good times.
And her horoscope is the best you'll find.
That's enough. Stay here, while I see her and come.
Kutty, it's raining.
What's wrong? Has he gone mad? - What?
He always takes us wherever he goes. - Today he sneaked away.
Let's go. - Aren't you ashamed?
No. - Then let's go.
Old hag, even if you cry and scream, no one will come to help you.
Your girl is mine, no one else takes her. What're you staring at?
We've no men in the house. That gives you the liberty to do what you like?
Sinner! You talk utter trash! May you rot!
Come again. I'd speak trash even if you had a man out here.
Ruku, it's me, Kutty.
I thought Kutty is a puppy. (Kutty = Cub )
Allow me to break the silence.
Who are you? - A well-wisher.
I've seen him somewhere. - Godzilla.
What's the problem, grandma? - He owns this house.
He came for the rent. I told him I'll pay it tomorrow...
since the bank is closed for two days, and then I went to the market.
When I returned from the market, I saw him peeping...
through the bathroom window, watching Ruku bathe.
Nothing extraordinary. Before she could remove her blouse...
the old hag came and ruined it all.
How much d'you have to pay him? - 2500.
Take that and get lost.
Don't Kutty. Why must you bother?
This is nothing. 2500 for Kutty is a piece of cake.
He buys biscuits worth 2500 everyday for the pet dogs in our apartment.
He doesn't like to talk about it.
You're such a rich man, yet you pay only 2500 for the girl? Is this fair?
I own this house. In the sense, I can provide as much as she wants.
But she isn't acquiescing.
Hit him.
The old woman always complains that she has no men at home.
When I offer to make up for her loss, the girl won't agree.
I'm not doing anything rash before Ruku.
The girl is blind, so she doesn't take me for a man, I guess.
Patience.
I thought I'll show her sometimes that I am really a man.
When I got the opportunity, the old hag ruined it.
The old hag is insane.
Easy. The blind one might mind it.
Kutty, you can this play this for a change, and recommend me to the girl.
Old hag! The next time you are in the market, take your own time.
Give it here.
Thanks Kutty. You have lived up to your status.
But had you beaten him instead of giving the money...
it'd have made me happy.
What did you say? - It'd have made me happy...
if you had beaten him.
That's what I wanted to hear.
Prove that you're man enough!
Prove it!
Never again will you harass a girl!
Kutty's channel has been hacked by a girl. Who is she?
Why do you ask? - He saw her at the wedding.
Next day he went to her house. Then he gave her 2500 bucks.
The channel is tuning so quickly. What'd you call this channel?
We'll know as it progresses. The channel has just been aired.
Talking about girls is bad, and talking about a blind girl is worse.
There's a terrible change in him. - "Him" or "her", just can't figure.
His spare parts are changing drastically. We need to take him...
to a good sexologist. Else we'll be accused of committing buggery.
Must be Kutty. Don't talk about the girl.
Let me answer the door. - Go on, girly.
Is this Kutty's house?
Yes... this is Kutty's apartment.
Welcome.
Are you Kutty's friends? - Yes. You're godsend. Please sit.
D'you have a dog? - It doesn't bite.
Dogs are a nuisance here, after all we have twenty-seven dogs.
Kutty likes dogs. Just yesterday he imported two Dobermans from Australia.
Their bark is stunning.
That's one of them.
Strange bark. What's this breed? - It's a female. Hovers around us.
It's three months' pregnant. - Isn't Kutty in? (Kutty = Cub )
She has yet to deliver. - She means our Kutty.
He has gone for the All India board meeting. He'll be here any moment.
You're sweating. I'll turn on the AC. - We have a power failure.
We got an AC plant. Once the power is restored, this house will be chilled.
Excuse me, I'll leash the dogs. - Sure.
How long will we act?
When will Kutty come? -Anytime now. He's in a board meeting.
Board meeting? - Yes. Singing is only his hobby.
In fact, he owns as many as eight companies.
Let me try calling him on my cellular phone.
Is the boss in? Oh, he's at the head office? Fine, I'll try there.
Is Mr Kutty there? Is that secretary Meena?
I'm Madan, his auditor. Please put him on to me.
Is that Kutty? What the hell are you doing there? Board meeting?
That's a routine. Ruku is here. Come over as soon as possible.
You're coming? That's good. Drive in the Benz. Okay?
He's coming. - You're Kutty's auditor?
Not only auditor, I'm his personal secretary, PRO and everything.
I'm the manager.
I'm the stenographer.
Careful, you might fall in the swimming pool in front of you.
Oh, am I near the swimming pool?
Who the hell is that swimming? - It's our servant.
Ask him to get out. - C'mon out of the pool!
What are you guys upto? Lady, do you see you a swimming pool here?
Hey, it's Mr.Mani. Welcome. Ruku, Mr.Mani is very special.
I forgot to tell you about him. He's the one who built the swimming pool.
Right. He's a bigshot like Kutty. He has his own satellite dish.
He rents out cable. - You can't find a cinema producer...
who isn't scared of P. K Cable TV. Last week he was locked up.
For airing a newly released movie... I mean, he got a man released.
He guzzles in a quarter in the mornings, afternoon, nights...
What he means is that he goes from quarters to quarters connecting cable.
He means everything to Kutty. - Shut up you guys.
Forget it, we aren't talking on the phone. I want to know...
who is drunk so early in morning.Do you see a swimming pool around here?
How can I see? I'm blind.
Kutty is here.
Kutty, you're always busy with business. Ruku, Kutty is here.
When did you come? I never imagined you'd come here.
You could've called me over. - Why must I trouble you?
Sorry for disturbing in the middle of a board meeting.
Board meeting...? Who told you?
Your auditor said that. He even talked to you over his cell.
This punk is your manager, and that's your stenographer. Pick that up!
They call that a swimming pool. What are they upto?
Sorry Ruku, they lied to you.
The truth is that I'm unemployed. I came to Madras to become a singer.
But I never got an opportunity. I take up odd jobs to earn a living.
Don't get my friends wrong. They lied to you...
because they wanted you to accept money from me yesterday.
So when you came here, they maintained the lie.
I'm not angry at them. How tactfully they fooled me! It is just amusing.
Kutty, people empathise with me because I am blind.
I hate being shown pity. Because I don't consider myself impaired.
I believe I can achieve anything.
Your friends are very causal, and you held back nothing. I like you all.
Yesterday I told you something, and you clobbered the house owner.
I'm happy. But he has given us an hour to vacate the house.
I don't know where to go. Can I get a house on rent here?
There's a house, but it's no so convenient.
I don't care as long as my heart is content.
Move Ruku's luggage here. From now on, she's going to stay here.
"The moon lures me, wants to take me faraway"
"Like the moonbeam's reach, let go your feelings as far"
"Your heart is a temple... for whom have you fortified it, O prince"
"My love, my life, my heart's a temple meant only for you"
"What if the skies kick up a storm? How'll you rescue me, my prince?"
"Sweetheart, I'll hide you in my eyes"
"You swear?"
"Do I have to swear?"
"What if the world comes to an end? Where will you keep me?"
"I will build a nice home for you from stardust"
"What if the stars melt me down?"
"I shall restore you, I shall breathe my life into you"
"O my prince...."
"are you saying the truth?"
"O my princess..."
"I shall lay myself on the thorns that thwart your way"
"I believe you"
"Where do I swim in a waterless pool?"
"I shall fill the pool with cologne for my princess to bathe"
"Then I dread to think of my state if you make love to me"
"I won't let a whiff of breeze dishelve your hair"
"You have wooed me in style"
"O my princess..."
"I shall shower you with roses everyday"
"All I need is your love"
"The moon lures me, wants to take me faraway"
"Like the moonbeam's reach, passion drives me as far"
"Your heart is a temple... for whom have you fortified it, O prince"
"My love, my life, my heart's a temple meant only for you"
Lord, they say mental agony is worse than physical pain.
And I'm suffering it.
I can't tell Ruku that it was due to me that she lost her eyesight.
I feel it's a grave sin I am committing.
I'm going to reveal the truth to her. Give her the power to forgive me.
If she doesn't forgive me and goes away...
I can't bear it, Lord!
Your mother has mailed.
I see your friends dancing and making merry only when she sends money.
Why don't I see anyone when you receive a letter? Oh, why do I care?
"My dear son, Kutty, I'm happy here. I pray to God for your happiness."
"You had written about Ruku's accident and the aftermath."
"I know, you can do no wrong on purpose."
"No need to tell her that she lost her eyesight because of you."
"Because if she feels offended and leaves you..."
"she'll have no one to fall back upon. You can tell her all in good time."
"With love - Mother."
Shall we, Ruku? - Sure, I'm ready.
The mark is askew. Can't you place it properly?
One tend to overlook the shortcomings of those he loves dearly, they say.
That holds so true. How could I place it properly? I can't see.
Okay, but you could've sought your grandma's help.
Her hands tremble. She might end up fixing it on my back.
Why don't you fix it yourself?
Hang on, I'll be right back.
Sorry Lord. Whenever I pluck flowers for You...
I feel as though the plants whine. But when I pick one for Ruku...
they seem so thrilled. Please don't mind, Lord.
Would you rise, Ruku? - Why?
Just stand up.
Turn around. - What for?
I want to fix a flower in your hair.
Shall we? - Sure...
Grandma... - Coming.
Quick. - What is it?
Just check if something's wrong with her dress.
Wow! She looks like a Goddess!
Even I've never dressed like that. May not the evil eye cast upon you!
Your wife will be a very lucky one.
Forget that, just check for glitches. - Glitches? Where?
Here.
Oh shucks!
Damn!
You said we had to leave, and you've been talking.
Sure, let's leave...
Actually, Ruku...
who sews your blouse? - The tailor in the street's corner.
Hire someone else. This one has sewed it too loose at the shoulders.
Over the shoulders...? - Yes.
Shall we leave now? - Sure.
Don't worry, Ruku. Kutty has briefed me about you.
The examination controller has given you permission.
You'll be given a proxy to whom you will dictate the answers.
Many thanks, sir. - No mention.
It's my duty to help a brilliant student.
Let's go, Ruku. - Bye sir.
Vanilla for you, and chocolate for the gentleman.
I never imagined I'd get permission for writing my exams so soon.
This is a small treat for that.
You've got the permission to write the exams. What next?
Now... I want to study hard and pass in first class.
You're brilliant enough to get a first class. Then?
Then...? I'll look for a lucrative job.
That's all fine. Then?
Then...?
Then the wedding, is it?
Oh no, I switched ice-creams. Shall I order one more?
For whom? - For you.
This will suffice.
How strange! We always bang into each other.
Thank God, your chums aren't here.
I got a doubt. The other day when my car hit you, you didn't say a word.
What makes you lose your temper for an ice-cream? What gives?
One more doubt. What was so special...
about the ice-cream? - Nothing.
I understand. The ice-cream did have some sentimental value. What is it?
It's nothing. - Why do you hesitate? Tell me.
She's just a friend, doctor.
That's her, isn't it?
She's having your ice-cream?
I'll buy you one more, ask her to taste it before you have it.
What, what? Even I've had many ice-creams when I was in college.
Which is why I put on so much weight. Are you scared to introduce me?
Kutty's friend.
Greetings.
She's blind.
Please don't mind, but, were you born blind?
No, I lost my eyesight recently.
Kutty, my friend Florence is a famous eye specialist.
He has come from Germany. He's returning tomorrow.
Had I known this before, we could've got her eyes examined.
What time is he leaving tomorrow? - Noon.
Doctor, you must somehow fix an appointment before he leaves.
No trying. You must.
All right, come to the hospital tomorrow at sharp nine.
Don't worry, her eyesight will be restored.
Bye lady.
Let's go.
It's been an hour since we ordered for tea. It's still not coming.
Won't you give us tea, Nair? - We're freeloaders after all.
We'll pay him up. Nair, get it fast.
One bread without eggs.
Who told you breads lay egg? It's the chicken's job.
I'll fix you later.
I'm not eating here. - Wait...
You are enough to shut the shop for good.
What's this? - Special tea.
We never ordered it. - I'll give you all that you need.
But please don't scare my customers away. Get it?
The tea is super. - That's the reward for scaring...
the customers away. Keep it up. - Look, an old customer is entering.
Where had you been? - He has forgotten our company.
Want tea? These days tea is served in a flash.
Madan, could you lend me 2000?
I've never seen that much money. You've given me a jolt.
Why do you need so much money?
An eye surgeon has come down from Germany.
I've got a appointment for Ruku. I need the money to pay his fees.
Nair could spare a few hundred. 2000 can't be organised so early.
I'm broke, too.
Sell this.
Kutty, this ring is your mother's gift to you.
Under no circumstance would you sell this, you said. And now...?
Mother will be happy to know that I've used it for Ruku.
Make sure you sell it.
Pandi... - Hey!
I mean Trouser Pandi, yesterday an ape shocked me on TV.
Or, was it in your mirror? - Are you kidding?
Curse you! You lost the address, and now you're taking me for a ride?
Whom are you talking to? I've guided countless men. Bend down.
Skip that, will you? - Why?
You've downed so many men like that! - All right, go straight...
Hey! Don't make me kill you! - You won't budge...
Look at that, pal! What a figure! Wonder which college she is in.
Look carefully. Isn't that Kalyana Sundaram?
Oh yes. We used to call him by a girl's name...
and he has really turned into a girl. Come, let's go over.
I'll come...
Gosh! Rowdies! - Darling...
Slowly and gradually you left me. Now you've torn me apart, dear.
Man, what a change! My, my! You're tempting!
Father forbids me from seeing boys. Get lost!
Times were when we used to share the same bed. Will I have them back?
You're so pretty! I can't believe it.
Let me introduce you to my sister. - Who's that?
Sister Parvati. Sister, please come here.
Are you teasing the girls? - Not me, this guy.
Know who she is? She books the eveteasers. Sister, arrest them.
She's too good! - Shut up. Let's go.
Lord, we're going to a surgeon to get Ruku's eyes examined.
It is Your mercy upon us.
All my plants and all my belongings have been very kind towards Ruku.
If You too show mercy, Ruku's eyesight will be restored.
It's not the money order. Listen to me, will you!
Your commission. Take it.
No Kutty. - You used to ask for it.
Why aren't you taking it now? What's the matter?
Kutty... no money order.
It's a telegram.
Telegram...? - Your mother...
is dead.
It's unbearable, I know.
Get a hold on yourself.
Go away... don't stand here.
The guys know nothing of it.
Keep this secret for a while. - Why?
Please don't tell anyone. - But why?
Just go away.
Kutty, I sold your mother's ring. Here's the money.
Had we expected the money order, we wouldn't have lost the ring.
Right... everything's lost.
Kutty, shall we go to the doctor?
Sure... one moment, I'll be back.
Mother!
Shall we, Ruku? - I've yet to wear a rose.
Ruku... the flowers have withered.
Let's go. - Bye grandma.
Bye.
Sir, the doctor wants you in.
Doctor, I told you about cute Kutty.
We've examined her. I'll tell you the result later.
No problem doctor, just say it.
The acid has destroyed the pupil of the eye.
No chance of a restoration even after surgery.
This is why, I wanted to tell you later. I knew you'd be shattered.
He has recommended the case to the eye bank.
What's the matter? - The postman told us everything.
Get in the car.
What is it? Any problem, Kutty? - Nothing, let's go.
Kutty, please!
Till the end I couldn't see my Mother.
I'd have come anyway. Didn't you know that?
As her last wish, your mother donated her eyes to Ruku.
Her eyes were removed within few minutes of her death.
An operated body decomposes quickly, so we cremated her.
Only you can pacify him now.
You'll get your eyesight back, Ruku.
Yes Ruku, you will get to see again.
My Mother left her eyes for you.
You don't have to worry anymore about your impairment.
Kutty, I failed to find words to express my sympathies.
But you stifled your agonies to pacify me?
Kutty, I never rued for losing my eyesight.
By God's grace, I have seen everything.
The full moon, the December dew, the chuckling of the kids...
blossoms in Spring... everything, I've seen and enjoyed nature's beauty.
Which is why I never saw blindness as a shortcoming.
But today, just for one reason I wish to have my eyesight back.
Do you know why? Your mother was a complete stranger to me.
Yet, she has donated her eyes for me.
And you... you tended to all my needs like a servant...
hid your agonies, and considered my happiness more than anything...
I want to see you. Yes, I want to see you.
This is one reason I want my eyes back.
The patient, Ruku can get back her eyesight, without hassles.
We've conducted all the test. She's perfectly fit for the surgery.
We've informed the eye bank. Let's have her operated tomorrow morning.
You have paid already two-thousand.
You'll have to pay 40,000 more by this evening?
40,000...?
It's only 40,000.
I will organise it. I can.
Your father is fighting for his life in Pune.
The trauma makes you forget that you're talking to a doctor.
Your donor's and your father's blood group match.
But the donor has high blood sugar.
Even then if you take him to Pune, the doctors won't allow you...
to donate his kidney to your father. - No other way to save my Daddy?
There is one. Find a healthy donor whose blood group is O.
Doctor, my blood group is O.
We're flying tonight to Pune. - Tonight...?
All right. I agreed to donate only because Ruku's surgery needed money.
If you could grant me a day, I shall stay in Pune for a year if you want.
How much do you need for the surgery? - 40,000.
Just 40,000? I shall even shell out 4 million for her surgery.
That's my responsibility. And to save my Father is your responsibility.
Here's the money you asked for. Pay the hospital dues first.
We'll go to Pune tonight. I'm ready.
I'll get some warm water. - All right, grandma.
Come Kutty. The nurse came to tell us that tomorrow morning is the surgery.
I don't know how we're going to repay your favours.
May you be happy. Talk to her, I'll be right back.
Kutty, how did you organise money for the surgery?
Let's discuss that after the surgery.
Kutty, it's so thrilling, you know.
Kutty, for all the good things you have done to me...
I have created an image of you in my heart.
I wish to see that image with my very eyes.
Sit down.
Ruku, you won't need my help anymore, right?
What do you mean?
After the surgery tomorrow, your eyes will see again.
Then you won't need my help anymore. This is what I meant.
Which means, till now you helped a blind woman out of pity?
No, I never meant that.
Kutty, I need your support forever. I want you by my side.
Kutty, how do you look?
You should be the first person I see when my eyesight is restored.
Never leave me, Kutty.
I've spun so many dreams of you.
"In the feathers of the crow..."
"I can feel your dark complexion, sweetheart"
"Under the shade of trees..."
"I can feel your green complexion, sweetheart"
"When I hear music..."
"I feel it is you who is playing, sweetheart"
"When I touch the fire..."
"I feel it is burning you, my sweetheart"
Rukmini.
Are you going to Madras? - Yes.
I'm also going to Madras. Can you do me a favour?
Tell me.
Could you take care of my suitcase? I need to go to the loo.
Catch him.
I don't know anything. I'm innocent.
The bag doesn't belong to me!
During the seven years you were in prison, didn't you meet Ruku?
No.
D'you have any idea how Ruku is, and which part of Madras she is in?
No.
It feels like having read the entire novel but for the last page...
which is missing... a feeling that's terribly painful.
How will you meet Ruku? How will she react on seeing you?
If we don't find an answer to this, our heads will burst.
We're coming with you, Kutty.
Wait for sometime, we're coming with you.
No. Moving out our luggage will take time.
Kutty has waited too long to get a glimpse of Ruku. No more.
Go ahead. - We'll be right behind Kutty.
Everything will be fine. Don't worry. - We'll meet you there.
Where? - A little ahead.
Here? - No.
Bad day! We crossed three kilometres. Don't you have an address?
This is the place. But at the turn, there were shops...
on both the sides of the road. - Goodness! That was two years back.
Shops were demolished since they were illegal. The collector has powers now.
Get off.
This is the place. Find out what you want. Curse the morning!
D'you know Mr.Mani's house? - Mr.Mani? No one by that name here.
I'm here since the last five years. - Before that?
No idea.
You know where Nair's Cafe is? - There was a cafe here.
It was demolished. You might get to know if you ask Thirumal.
Only thing that remains is the temple of Lord Ganapati. Ask Him if you want.
Puppy...?
It's me... Kutty.
Puppy, where's everyone?
We used to have friends here. I don't find any of them.
Where's Ruku? Where's Mr.Mani?
Now that I've found you, I'll find everyone.
I need you to find everyone.
Madam, Greetings...
Shove him into the jeep.
Is he your child? - Yes.
What's his name you said? - Kutty.
Ruku, you hate this form of mine.
Yet I rule in your heart. And no one can change that.
That's all I want.
Ass! Can't you see?
Don't yell. It was your mistake. Why do you scream at the cabbie?
The cabbie won't budge till you compensate him for the damage.
The cabbie isn't complaining. Who the hell are you?
Mind your tongue. You aren't speaking, it's the power of that uniform!
The lady Collector will tell you who I am.
It's Puppy. Puppy and I are related to the lady Collector.
Don't I feed you? Then why do you still go to our old place?
How rude! Where is he going? Has he joined the police?
Where are you going...?
After all these years I see you in such a state?
Who hit you, Kutty? Tell me.
Tell me, who hit you?
Hey! Who hit Kutty? Tell me.
Know what'll happen if the Collector finds out who you have hit?
Let go! The lady herself ordered to hit him, for barging into the office.
What...? She ordered to hit him for barging into the office?
Yes. Go and ask her.
Wait. Where d'you think you are going?
Leave me! I say, let go!
There's an important meeting going on, no one is allowed to go in.
It's a matter of someone's life. No harm in delaying the meeting.
Collector! Ruku!
Ruku! Come on out!
Let go! Ruku, ask them to leave me.
Won't you tell them? - Why are you screaming?
It hurts... that's why I screamed.
Forgive me if I am in the wrong. D'you know who the police hit?
I know.
You know...? And still you're silent?
I know him very well. I ordered him to be hit.
I also ordered him to be arrested. So what?
Ruku, have you forgotten the past?
I've forgotten nothing. You're drunk. Go home.
Yes, I am drunk. But this high is short-lived.
But you're high on ego, power, status and position.
You'll never get over it.
A less intelligent animal didn't forget the one who loved him.
The dog took me to the injured man.
And you, an extra brilliant officer ...how can you order him to be hit?
Are you a woman? Don't you have a heart?
Take that man away! - Let go!
The two of us won't ever come to you. Just order his release!
Ruku, you're testing my patience!
Stop!
Are you Kutty? Are you?
Are you Kutty? Please tell me.
Why don't you tell me? Please! Who is my Kutty?
How do you know this song? - Who are you?
I'm Rukmini. - You're Rukmini?
Kutty came here to see you. - Kutty came here to see me...?
"The breeze that sings my poetry is formless"
"Never has anyone seen his own eyes"
"Now that she has seen her love, she is stunned"
"Never has anyone seen his own eyes"
"Now that she has seen her love, she is stunned"
"Today she sees the one whom she had only heard"
"For the first time she sees the breeze in a form"
"That what you get without effort doesn't last"
"What you find after tireless efforts, is never lost"
"I have found my love again, never shall we part"
I've been waiting for you all these years.
Kutty, it is because of you that I could study and reach this position.
When I ordered you to be hit, why didn't you tell me you were Kutty?
In my heart I always adored you.
But I always misunderstood whenever I saw you.
Forgive me, Kutty.
Forgive me, please.
"She is the rhythm of my life, she is mine"
"She shall rule my heart for ever"
