Devanand.
Come here
What is this?
Coffee plant
and below that?
Earth
Like the way a plant is connected to earth
Similarly a Kodava (Natives) is connected to their roots
Dev, our land is our identity.
Does this all belong to us?
It belongs to me, your father
after that it is yours
We serve it, we worship it.
Only then does it yield.
Once you grow up, you will understand.
Don't grow up. Stay my little boy.
Why?
Come here, see this plant
We will take care of this little coffee plant...
... protect it from worms, from the hot sun.
Then it will grow and bear flowers.
We call it the Bloom.
The color of the Bloom decides...
... whether the plant will grow coffee.
If the flower turns out to be pink, everything is lost.
So with growing up comes its share of pain.
Baby..
Not this, I am not liking this..
It's good right?
No, Lets ask Dev, What should we name our house ?
Thaa Mane
Really
My darling
Dev
Don't cycle near the well..
You will fall inside
This time I won't pull your out...
Aaa! Aaaa! Aaa!
Damaged the gate
Crashed into a bloody tree this time!
Birju (elephant) has been gate crashing a lot recently.
Lever is damaged.
You should stop drinking sir.
Moron!
I'm talking about the gun.
Here. Oil it.
For now, go see if the fencing is intact!
Hey!
Who's that?
May I help you sir?
Welcome!
Looking for a homestay?
No..I've come from Bangalore..
..Actually my coffee store..
..who-who is your trader?
No one. We are awaiting our first bloom.
I am looking to start my own chain of coffee stores.
Haven't thought about selling it to retailers.
Since when are you in retailing?
By the way, what are current market prices?
You know, we don't have any money left for irrigating.
We've spent everything on processing machinery.
Processing machinery! Yeah!
Hey tell me this.
Instant coffee. Has it affected your business?
S-sir..uh..I-I'll see you later.
We could discuss business.
Later sir.
OK.
Your name?
Dev.
Anand? (like the film star?)
Dev!
Its-it's really you!
What are you doing here?
Uh..i-it's a fam-family matter.
You live around here?
No no..uh..I've come from Bangalore-
I'm here to source coffee from some of these estates.
Okay.
I'm in a bit of a hurry. See you.
Dev, wait.
Come to our estate and have a cup of coffee.
You live-you live here?
I thought you were a tourist.
No no me and my husband..
My husband and I.. we have an estate and..
We bought it 5 years ago.
Okay. Bye.
Sometime later
Your fate hangs by a thread.
No one knows how it gets tangled up with other threads.
This thread of yours is kicked around in the field of space and time.
The great samsaric (worldly life) disco is being played now..
.. now..
.. and now.
2 kilos coffee grind please.
Puja (Prayer) without showering? Not good!
I'm clean on the inside. Unlike you.
You come from earth. You return to earth.
And in between, you are just a speck of dust.
I'm running late. Have to get to work..
Why don't you?
Why does he hate? Caught between pairs of opposites, desiring results-
How much?
2 kilos.
When you dwell upon objects of fancy, attachment
Did you book your ticket to Coorg?
No.
I'm reading.
I got a notice from the bank. We have defaulted twice.
- The store will be gone- - Someday I will be gone too.
I run the store so that I leave you with something.
Right?
This is why I sold our estate.
With the money we could pay bank instalments, run the house.
But no. You don't want to touch that money.
The store, the estate. What is to be gained by them?
Now you will say the estate was our family heritage.
All our ancestors have their ashes scattered over there.
For a Coorgi, land is God and I don't care for that sentiment. Right?
You think you own something, but it actually owns you.
I have this clarity. When will you get it?
You are right
Your clarity has not left any places for my ashes
Because you are unworthy to even scatter my ashes!
Why didn't you show up for dinner yesterday?
Everyone was there.
Would have been a nice change for you.
Who needs change?
I am going to Delhi in the evening. To conduct interviews.
Do something man. Atleast manage the store.
Mom isn't well.
Anything else?
Yes. There's an opening in HR.
I can sneak you in.
Who needs a sneak in?
Thank you. Close the door on your way out.
Okay so go Coorg no?
Why you not go?
I know mom well. She just wants to keep me busy.
Why will Poonacha uncle supply to a small time retailer?
Nothing in it for him.
So you won't go?
Go for her sake.
Dhoni?
Yes! My Dhoni.
That businessman? His name is Dhoni (Cricket player)?
His name Rohit.
What am I? His keep.
So he is keeper. Dhoni.
Dark humor. Very good.
Meaning?
You are a nice girl.
How come you got into all this?
Why do you ask? You are save me?
You are save me?
You ought to ask me if-
Yeah tell me. How should I ask?
Get away.
God! Why do you come here?
You come, but you never do me what Dhoni do.
I am a Sannyasi (renunciate).
It means I have nothing to do with the world..
.. nor the world with me.
Oh? That explains why you didn't get married.
Why you don't work but your mom does.
Why you sold your mom's property without telling her.
I am gone.
Come on.
I don't dance your samsaric (worldly) disco, okay?
Disco dude, Sannyasi never get angry.
Oh, come on.
Is there ever a valid reason to grieve?
If there indeed is, then there is no way out.
And if there isn't a valid reason to grieve, then why do we grieve at all?
You grieve for that which isn't worth grieving over.
Mom?
Death?
Is death not worth the trouble?
No. Not even death.
Like everything in this world,
death is not real.
Where are you going to do the rites?
In Coorg.
Amma had asked me to meet Poonacha uncle.
I brushed her off.
Fought with her.
Hello Ganesh, do you remember Siddanagar, Biddanda estate?
I was the one who sold it..
..No, not Singh.. Dev Anand Cariappa..
..no just like that..
Okay
Thank you.
They sold it to some Singh who sold it to someone else.
After I finish her rites, I will source coffee for the store
from Biddanda,
which was our estate.
Here.
I miss my mother.
My mom..
..she just passed away.
I had nothing to do with the world.
It is doing me now.
I can't do the worldly dance.
I just can't.
So? You want to become a Sannyasi (renunciate) ?
Why not?
A girl dumped you?
Or is it something else?
You said your mother passed away.
Do what she would have liked you to.
Renunciation can wait.
(Priest chants Mantras)
Believe me
even I have had a lot of piercings when I was young.
I mean injections. No pain, no gain.
Papa knows best.
Trust me, kid.
Thaaat's it. All done.
Did it pain? No Right?
My sweet baby
They'll turn out rotten if you pamper them this much.
Dev Anand Cariappa!
Anika did mention you.
You two were friends in college, right?
Hi again.
Srinivas Panicker.
Oh. I thought you were Coorgi, when I saw you with the gun.
Everyone thinks so. But you aren't totally off the mark.
Mother Coorgi, father Mallu, grew up in Dubai, worked in Australia.
I am from nowhere.
But yes, being half Coorgi..
.. I am allowed to carry a gun, without license.
So Anika tells me you are a coffee expert?
You know all about soil, seed, weather, water, cultivation etc etc.
I do. But...
Why don't you inspect my plantation then?
Give me some tips, Mr. expert!
Well..I-
Hey come on.
Let me be upfront.
My love, you want to source coffee at a cheaper rate and-
See how I just called you my love?
I hope you don't mind..
So I was saying, I will give you free coffee for a year.
We will work out a discounted rate after that.
But for now..
.. I will pay a month's salary, that is, if you help me.
The work is simple..
..manage the plantation and supervise the workers. Easy!
Okay, Mr Dev I think I'm intimidating you.
I am like this...
But you know what I say, the coffee bloom is just a month away.
What rhyming !!
Mr Panicker there's no one to manage the store back home.
Is that all? We'll work out a better compensation!
Mr. Panicker, I don't know if I can-
Listen Dev..
We are on a coffee plantation
We will have coffee
Let's talk over coffee.
Ok look, I'm requesting you.
You can have anybody take care of your store for one month.
- Mr. Dev - I am sorry. It's not that easy sir.
I'll take care of your food and stay.
- I'll have to think about it- - You think too much.
Hi.
Ani sweetheart, you forgot to tell me your friend is so stubborn.
Why don't you try and save me the trouble?
If you have to emotionally blackmail him, don't hesitate.
Ok.
Mr Dev, I'll be out and back in 30. Please don't leave.
Ani don't let him leave. At least not for a month!
See you
Bye - Bye
I told him you wouldn't accept.
He knows?
Just that we were friends in college.
Friends!
You can just say you won't do it.
Why me?
He was looking for a cultivation expert.
I knew you had a coffee plantation and you had worked in it so...
Your husband is very irritating.
He is a bit enthusiastic but a good man.
It was his dream to own a big coffee estate.
We've attacked our last penny on this.
Why?
We were tired of the corporate life and it was Vas' dream...
Oh! Vas' dream! Wow! Anika I'm so thrilled for you.
So in the end, everything worked out just fine for you. Didn't it?
What do we do now?
What is this?
Poison.
Wait.
I go to America for a couple of years and you take poison.
We were going to go together, Weren't we?
Little did I know dad would lose his job.
I can't live without you!
This long distance thing. It never works!
Okay but...
- It just never works Dev! - Okay! What do you suggest we do?
Let's get married!
- What? - Let's get married.
If they freak out, your dad and mine, we'll drink poison!
- Please baby! - We'll show it to them!
- No no no listen to me. - Let's get married!
- Calm down baby! - No let's get married.
If not, let's drink poison!
Baby no! No poison drinking!
Baby no please please!
- Alright let's get married. - Promise?
- Sure? - Okay.
Hello..
What's up? Deal fixed?
Anika is here.
What? Where?
Here man! Where the deal is to be fixed. Right here.
So what now?
She and her husband..
they want me to help them with their coffee crop..
Look man, I would have fixed it but.. Anika is right in my face dude.
Listen Dev. If you try to flee, I will beat you.
One month right? Do it..
Focus on Amma. Behave with Anika.
Till the time you are there..
Seal the deal, come back. I'll buy you a drink.
Bye.
Listen...
Look, I should have behaved better with you.
It's okay.
I'll take up the offer.
Dev!
You're still here!
Looks like you couldn't escape Anika's charm.
So, what's your decision?
I'll do it, sir.
That's fantastic! Thank you so so much.
Ani, arrange for Dev's stay in our guest room. We have a...
One second Mr. Panicker.
I want to live with the workers.
Why would you want that?
You are Ani's friend..Ani?
You sure?
I'm very sure sir.
There won't be a discussion on this.
Okay. Whatever turns you on mate.
Disco dude! Disappear?
Still in Coorg?
I need your help.
Tell me what I need to do.
I have to stay here a month.
Once the bloom happens, the deal will be sealed.
Until then, will you take care of the store?
Please. For me?
Alright.
Don't blame me if I mess up.
Come back soon!
Thanks Shondha.
Mention not.
So this is your room. You need anything, tell me.
Reminds me of a similarly small room.
After ages, you and me..again, in a room.
Ashtray!
Posh workers huh?
It's for you.
I'm tired. Want to rest.
Who's that?
Go check.
You didn't call your father!
Shit! Shit!!
- Get out! - Dear.
Anika it's alright.
What are you doing?!
Baby, just trust me
We have got each other and we can do it.
Let's do it!
Lets have it
No!
- No! - Let's do it!
You do it first. I'll follow you!
Dev, you do it first. I'll follow you!
Anika
Ani have it! Have it!!
Anika come out
Aha! Hot coffee!
If the universe so wills..
..we will have our own coffee in a month.
Just the thought of it is so exciting.
Dev, you have had a look now.
In your expert onion..
..will we be waking up in a month's time and smelling our own coffee?
Uh, Mr. Panicker, it is vital for a good crop that..
..the bloom doesn't turn out to be pink.
It is too early to say anything but..
..I have made a note of the areas that need attention.
The plants that are north and east of the well..
..haven't been bushed and pruned properly.
The sunlight is too direct and humidity very low.
The soil...
Dev, no offence but all this is too technical too boring.
I don't understand a damn thing.
Just tell me what needs to be done..
..and you do it!
Just make the bloom happen.
Show me some magic!
Mr. Panicker, I will create best conditions.
I don't know about magic. I don't look for it.
Then you won't find it.
I seek it and I believe seekers are finders.
Fortunately, these are my plants..
..so it is my belief that counts!
Mr. Panicker do you believe in the..
..magic of the universe, signs and all that?
Absolutely. Karma Dev, Karma.
The universe speaks to us all the time.
Not everyone is equipped to listen.
Not me. I'm different.
When ill fated winds blow my way..
I smell them a mile away..
And run the other way!
Baby, if my poetry stuff takes off, I'm going to sell this plantation..
..and concentrate on that.
Coffee..
What are you doing?
What?
What are you doing?
Pondering.
About?
Whether I should try jumping into the well this time.
Anyway, how did you find this estate?
Vaas is crazy about coffee.
He was on the look out for an estate just like this one.
I told you this was his dream.
And you?
This is his dream. Where are you in this?
Is this your dream too?
Sorry. Continue.
Our agent showed it to us.
Some..Singh guy, we bought it off him.
Vaas took one look at this place.
Didn't take him a second to decide to buy it.
It feels as if the artist has morphed into an artisan.
You were an artist Anika..and now?
Now just a woman filling water near a well
Like one of your own paintings
Dev, go.
Why?
My being here is problematic to you?
That little episode, fading away in your memory..
..me being here has refreshed it, hasn't it?
What the hell are you doing here?
A dutiful housewife, are you?
An extremely supportive wife, helping her..
..husband live his dream while her own rots away?
Sorry go ahead fill that water
Clear it up quick.
There..there
So you are still an artist.
Like I was.
Still a crappy one?
There's a cultural fest on. Will you take me?
Listen, I'm sorry about what I said at the well.
I didn't personify maturity either.
Sorry back.
It'd been a week since I showered. I didn't mind it.
Does this feel weird?
A bit, yes.
How did you meet Srinivas?
I wasn't thinking about marriage.
Vaas' family became family friends in Dubai.
My parents were after my life.. that I get married.
Vaas took a liking to me.
There was Vaas and my parents
There was a lot of pressure.
So I figured..if I HAVE to ruin someone's life..
why not this fellow's?
How about you? Any girlfriends?
Girlfriends? Me?
When I woke up..
..at the hospital it was to a new reality.
I was told that your parents took you to Dubai.
Everything had changed.
People were awkward around me..
..friends, relatives..and parents.
I would be stared at on the streets.
Mom and Dad who were always very cool with me..
..started coming into my room 5 times a night.
'Need anything? Are you feeling warm? Should I turn on the fan?
Do you need a bottle of water?'..
..on some pretext or the other.
I knew they were coming in hoping to find me alive each time.
To cut a long story short, I dropped out of college,
stopped meeting people,
It's been 13 years.
At least you've had a happy ending.
Oh. I've come to my end have I?
Don't happy endings depend on where we stop the story?
If we stop it right here, now..
is this a happy ending or a sad one?
"Shall I say it or stay quiet?"
"It is the conversation of the eyes."
"Shall I say it or stay quiet?"
Shall we go?
Okay.
"Who makes you wet by smiling."
"What do I name that tomorrow as?"
"This life is so easy."
"Emotions are very confusing."
"The silence which speaks up."
"Is it the same thing?"
"Broken desires.."
"..what union is this?"
Vaas! What are you doing?
Baby, the drinks are on me.
You bet they are.
Oops.
Baby
Why don't you drink a proper drink?
Dev, kindly make a drinkable drink for our malkeen (owner) here.
Vaas, stop with the malkeen business.
Hang on. Let's get to the bottom of this.
What is the name of this house?
The name man?
Thaa Mane.
Correct.
Why did we retain the name when we bought it?
Because.
I'll say it. Because..
My darling wife Mrs. Anika Panicker..
..finds the name enchanting.
Though she has no bloody clue what it means.
By the way, what does Thaa Mane mean?
Mom's home.
Really?
Who's mom's home?
Never mind.
Point is, this house is in her name.
Know why?
Number one.
She is my goddess of wealth.
Hello Wealth Goddess
Stop it.
Number two.
Like number two, anything I buy in my name..
..is separated from me.
Crap. Sheer bad luck.
Karma, Dev.
Mr. Dev, please excuse me, I have to pee.
Babe
Baby
Go
I'm high.
Go.
Can I do it in the bushes?
Go home.
It's my plantation man!
You own all this?
You know Vaas, he believes in signs, omens and whatnot.
It is so stupid.
So yes, all of it is in my name.
Hey, didn't your family own property in Coorg?
I remember you telling me.
Is it still there?
Had to sell it.
Hi.
Can I have some cold water?
Sure. Come in.
So? What do you think?
Overdone. Too much décor.
You cannot not find fault, no?
You asked for my opinion. There it is.
Yes, Why did I ? My bad.
Here.
You don't drink coffee now.
How is Amma?
And Prahlad? Rest of the gang?
Prahlad is an IT Manager now..
..rest of the gang are busy leading their grown up lives..
..Amma passed away.
I'm so sorry Dev.
What happened?
She had her ailments and her time was up I guess.
Just that..
..there must have been a better way for her to go.
What do you mean, Dev?
It's nothing. Never mind..
I miss her.
I'm sorry.
I wasn't trying to take advantage of your empathy.
I know.
No I'm sorry.
Dev, it's okay. It was just a moment.
Now I remember why I fell for you.
It's because I'm not a drama queen, right?
No. It's the way you kiss.
Dev.
Listen. Listen please..Just
No, don't say a thing.
I'm happy..after eons! In fact..
..I should be going now.
Dev.
No, don't say a word.
You're regretting the kiss now.
Yeah, you are.
Look Dev.
I know this isn't 1997.
I know you're married.
I know you'll be feeling weird.
But every time you happen to even accidentally look at me..
..is a half-hearted, fake smile necessary?
- It's nothing like that. - How would I feel?
What, you're thinking morals?
15 years ago, only I was in your life.
Now it is Srini, for the heck of it.
It can be me again. Anika, morals are flexible.
Cannot happen.
Why? Don't you feel anything for me?
Anika, listen.
I don't have an issue with Srini, but
I like you and me better.
Give us another chance.
Anika, we have a history.
And I have a present. I love my husband.
And not for the heck of it . It is real.
And me?
I can't begin from the beginning, with you.
It's exhausting.
I care about you but..
..you and me together, we are poison.
Literally.
Did the kiss mean anything to you?
A left over reaction. Of a time that and whatnot.
I'm sorry if you felt it was the start of something, but it's not.
It'll rain soon, the bloom will happen and you will...
Dev!
Get out!
Ani!!
Ani.. Have it.
Ani!!
I can't do it!
I can't do it! I can't !
I can't do it!
Clamoring for love from others, you forget..
..what your true purpose is. To discover yourself.
Everything dependent on others is the cause for misery.
You take yourself for granted.
The whole of existence hides inside you.
You do not need approval from others.
Own up to what is yours.
Get up and fight!
My dear!
Shondha!
Of course it's me Shondha. From Bangalore.
But you- you should have called.
Who's at the store?!
The bank people come every day.
You don't take my calls. And Dhoni's family..
..moved to Canada. He threw me out.
So you came here ?
So where should I go?
Wait, wait.
You may stay here.
Listen, if someone asks, tell them you are..
..my friend from Bangalore. Okay?
Okay.
Really good you came.
Very good.
Still not worthy?
How much longer?
Let her go soon.
How long are you going to stay here?
The rains are arriving..
In a week, the bloom is awaited.
On the 8th day, I will become worthy.
How?
This is so sweet!
Hey!
- What are you doing? - Just a sec.
Step aside, mama!
Where are you off to?
To celebrate with Dev.
Take an umbrella..Dry yourself.
What the date today ? 7th right. On the 15th..
..at a plantation that is ours..
..there is going to be a coffee bloom!
Hey, Dev.
What the hell are you up to Dev!
Dev!
Where are you Dev Anand? It's raining!
Let's celebr- Oh!
You're already celebrating. Sorry, I didn't know you weren't alone!
It's fine Srini. This is my friend Shondha..
..from Bangalore..to see me.
Oh.
I hope it's not a problem if she stays a few days.
What problem, Dev?
Please sit Shondha.
I'm Srinivas Panicker, the owner of this plantation.
Oh, hello.
Dev, the universe has given me a big sign!
Yeah. I saw the sign too.
Now it's just a matter of time.
Why don't you join us for tea..or coffee..
..that won't be our own, yet! You could meet Anika.
She's trying out a new recipe.
If I'm going down I'm taking you two along!
Dev..Please come for sure
Shondha see you later
Oh..Forgot the sweets
Meanwhile, carry on with your 'celebration'.
Good one Srini...Good one...
Please have something.
Very good madam.
Thank you.
How do you know Dev?
I had been to this temple like thing..
..for a heart-breath discourse, right dear?
Art of breathing.
Yeah. We became friends there.
What do you do?
I keep.
What do you keep?
I keep of Dhoni, meaning Rohit.
Not now though. I'm looking for a job.
Dev is helping me with it.
Let's just have some coffee.
I'll pour. - Sure.
Okay. So it's decided.
Once the bloom happens, we'll have a feast.
Which is bad news for the pigs.
Great idea. I'll just go to the kitchen.
OK, baby.
We'll all pig out.
Sir!
What's the matter Dasappa?
West side sir! Brown spotting on leaves!
Looks like a disease.
- Let's have a look. - You wait in the room.
Right here, sir.
Nothing to worry. Looks like a minor infection.
Quite common right after it has rained. It's called Coffee rust.
Nothing a little brushing and pruning wont heal.
Are you sure?
100 percent sure?
Of course. It's nothing.
Will this affect other plants as well?
Will the bloom be affected?
No, not at all.
Still, I'll make double-sure. I'll look at it closely again.
Relax Srini, nothing to worry about.
Dasappa, keep an eye out. Let me know..
..or Dev, if you see more of this.
Damn.
Bloody Chinese shit!
Don't worry. Everything'll be fine.
Do I look worried to you?
Yes.
Yeah I'm worried.
Dev will manage everything, right?
You never mentioned Shondha.
Was I supposed to?
You are sure right?
Is there reason to worry?
About the Bloom?
No.
Are you not sure or should I not worry?
You don't know how much the forthcoming bloom means to Vas.
Believe me, I do.
He has entered into equity partnerships.
Ordered machinery from South America.
In ten years, he wants to start a chain of coffee stores.
Really?
He knows neither the 'C' of coffee, nor of Crop.
But he has ordered machinery!
This is sacred earth.
It asks for service, care, worship.
Only then does it yield.
Not so easy...
What?
What would you do without me?
You guys are the limit!
No respect for the land.
No respect? What are you talking about?
I'm doing my job.
I came into this late, yet I am working my ass off for you people.
That too in my own.
In your own what?
In my own area of expertise you question me!
I know what I'm doing.
Brown, brown, brown! This, and this, and this!
They're all dying!
What the hell is going on?
Some of them don't react well to the rains. It happens.
Oh I need to move them indoors now?!
Some don't hold up well.
Due to the soiling, due to inadequate moisture Could be anything.
Don't confuse me with jargon Dev!
And what do you mean 'could be anything'?
What kind of an expert are you?
Find out the damned problem and solve it.
Srini, you are overreacting.
You will lose 40% of the crop at most.
The rest will survive.
40%?! That's almost half of them gone, man!
I'll do something. Will try to bring the loss down to 15-20%.
That is if the universe helps me out.
Will you? Will you show me some magic?
That's on the universe, no?
I'll do what I can. We'll see.
You..don't seem confident, Dev.
Thats what is killing me
Baby, let's take a second opinion.
Good idea.
I'll talk to Shenoy. If he is in town, he'll come inspect.
I need your photo.
Oh!
Take it.
Where's the camera?
If anyone stays for more than 3 days in a homestay..
..we need their photo on record.
For police verification.
If not, they question us.
Meaning?
Passport, voter's ID..anything?
Will a ration card work?
I'm asking for a photo ID.
- Why? - Homestay rules.
Did Dev give his?
I know Dev very well.
I too. Very well.
If you don't have one, you can't stay.
You have 2 hours to pack up and leave.
I'll leave when Dev tells me to, not you! This is not your property!
- Oh? Is it yours then? - It is Dev's.
If I tell Dev he will throw you out with your joker husband even..
..if you show him your entire photo album. Get it?
Who told you this is Dev's property?
He only.
This whole thing is his family's property.
So YOU pack up. Alright?
Oversmart woman!
What was your family matter again?
As I have said, to source coffee.
That is business, not family. Why did you come here?
Because your husband begged me to.
But why this particular plantation?
B. Devanand.
B stands for..Biddanda, right?
Look at me when I'm talking to you!
So this was your family's property that they had to sell. And you're here to-
I sold it. Without telling them!
I'm sorry about that but this is legally our property now.
This is not mere 'property'.
Right where you are standing, is where I learnt to ride a cycle.
Thaa Mane.. which you don't even know the meaning of..
..is MY mom's home!
It is my identity.
I haven't been able to let mom go yet!
She died heartbroken because of me.
You know what she told me? That I'm unworthy to even scatter her ashes!
What do you want?
Talk to him. Sell it to me. I want this land back.
Sell it to you?
What do you mean sell? And pack up and leave?
- Just like that?! - Yes.
Can't do that.
You know what this estate means to Vaas and you know how much he loves...
Loves coffee? He doesn't know a thing.
He doesn't want to either. All he wants is magic!
And you? You're worse than him. You think you're supporting his dream?
This is not his dream.
If this doesn't work, well, there's always another..
..fancy idea, another crazy adventure to sign up for. Right?!
- Get out of here! - And if I don't?
I'll have to tell Vaas.
Oh really?
So will I.
- What do you mean? - About us.
What?!
'What?!' I'll have to tell him about our romance..
..about the hotel room, about the rat poison, which was your idea.
Except you fed me but chickened out yourself.
I have nothing left to lose!
He won't believe you.
He is mature enough to understand that you and I, were done a long time ago.
Oh yeah?! But the kiss..that was now..
..atleast according to me.
Let's find out Vas' opinion.
He will forgive me.
Possibly.
But then again, the poor man has taken..
..huge loans, invested a lot, ordered machinery.
The bloom could turn Pink.
He's under a lot of stress.
And to top it off, the kiss. So it's possible he won't forgive you.
Convince him to sell the land.
It's up to you to decide if you want to tell him..
..it's me you are selling it to.
Let's not let it get ugly.
Baby
I hope the bloom turns out well.
Really has to come
If it doesn't, we'll have to cancel all retail contracts,
carry all machinery on our heads and flee from the loan people.
What happened to you?
What do you mean?
This is careless ambition.
Whoa!
I'll take that as a compliment.
You thinking I've ambition.. is good enough for me.
Be it careless.
You want to destroy my life?
There is no destruction.
Just a change of hands.
From one to another
I'm just taking back what's rightfully mine.
You're not the Dev I once knew.
You're the Anika I once knew?
They took me to the police station.
Asked me if I was kidnapped.
Dad, did not even speak to me and sent me to Dubai.
He was ashamed of me.
You didn't even contact me even to see if I'm alive or not.
Prahlad..
I contacted Prahlad.
It was not just you who's reality had changed.
You were passing out and I did not know what to do.
I was young and I was stupid.
I get it. I got the poison, you took it, I didn't.
That explains all this, right?
What rubbish!
Why do women mix issues?
We were both equally stupid.
This has no connect with that.
You know I was hoping you'd say..
..Anika the poison was your idea, I took it you didn't.
My life got ruined, so here is payback.
What?
I understand revenge, but this is worse.
Elephant on the loose...Elephant
Hey, distract it there..
Everybody, please do not panic!
Please go into the bushes and stay there!
Dasappa, bring me my gun. Quick!
Stay in there..
Hey ..we are coming.
Quick Dasappa!
Vaas!
Vaas! What happened?!
Vaas..
Why are you here?
I came to see madam.
What are you doing, my dear? I don't get it.
You haven't scattered Amma's ashes, you lied to them..
..about the land, didn't tell me the truth about Anika.
Is this right?
No my dear, it isn't.
You are lecturing me? You?
I shouldn't?
Because I keep?
I care you, my dear.
I don't know what is right,
but I know this is wrong.
You are a lovely boy.
You always respected me.
Think about what you are doing.
I have said too much.
I'll go now.
So you're the chief cultivator here.
Sannyasi sir!
I am speaking to you
We have talked but not introduced ourselves.
My name is Annappa, ASI,
Siddanagar Police Station.
B..but y..you.
Yes yes.
Vacation.
Vocation.
But I don't get this.
Mr. Panicker went into the woods, gun in his hand.
But after the shot was fired, the gun was in your hands.
Sir, how many times do I tell you?
The lever was jammed, it misfired and went off by itself.
How did it come to be in your hands?!
Nobody saw the shot being fired
You were with him and the gun was seen to be..
..in your hands.
Sir, please ask Mr. Panicker himself.
He will tell you I'm telling you the truth.
Of course I will, when he comes to.
That is, IF he comes to.
You aren't getting it.
You are in trouble, my friend.
Until this clears up, you will be in my custody.
I'm...I'm going to jail?!
Yes.
For now.
At least until the investigation is complete.
If you're innocent, I'll let you go of course.
We will then have a chat at the temple where..
..you can ask me about Karma, destiny etc.
But if you've been up to some mischief..
..then you'll have ample time to ponder over the truths..
..of life, and maybe even learn some of it.
Don't worry, everything will be alright.
Sign here.
Thank you, sir.
Anika, wait!
Get in the car.
Thanks for getting me out of there.
You didn't have to.
I did.
Vaas gave a statement as soon as he regained consciousness.
You didn't have anything to do with it. The gun misfired.
We are leaving.
I convinced him, pointed out all the signs and omens to him.
I used his weakness against him.
Also emotionally manipulated him.
Moreover, we don't know the 'C' of Coffee, do we?
Let's see where his next fancy idea is going lead us.
Here's your stamp of worthiness.
Proof that you have made it.
It's a MOU.
We will complete all formalities in a month and leave for Dubai.
Take it.
Anika..
You sabotaged the bloom.
Shenoy told me..
..there was clinically administered wheat rust everywhere.
Only an expert could pull that off.
Anika, I'm sorry.
I broke Amma's heart. Because of me she...
I couldn't even express to her that...
Amma would be happy now?
This is not about Amma.
This is your need to get even with me.
You blame me for whatever happened that night..
..and for your subsequent life.
You can't stand the fact that I am happy with someone.
And you tell me that I mix issues?
Maybe Vaas doesn't know a thing about coffee..
..but poisoning the trust of..
..that which depends entirely on our kindness..
..only a true lover is capable of it.
We both have lived up to it.
And..
And I don't think we could have done differently.
When you dwell upon objects of fancy,
attachment is born.
From attachment is born desire
and when that desire is thwarted, anger.
From anger comes delusion
and from delusion, the loss of everything valuable you have learned.
From this loss of values, the mind becomes incapacitated.
And when the mind is incapacitated, the person is destroyed.
But the one whose mind is steady
he moves in the world of desirous objects
free from likes and dislikes
and attains the clarity of
what is right action, what is not.
There is nothing more fascinating than clarity.
