This road you're seeing... do you know which city it is in?
This road, enveloped by water on both sides, is actually in Chennai City.
This road, that originates from the Bay of Bengal...
This road, which is sweltering under the 3 PM sun...
"Please let it rain here!"...
some people from the village of Rameswaram are now praying.
Our Father, Who art in heaven.
We pray that India must lose in today's cricket match played in Chennai.
Or the match must be cancelled due to rains.
In these times, even wishing for India to
lose in cricket considered anti-nationalism.
Then why have these simple fisherwoman turned into anti-nationals?
Their men have gone fishing into this sea.
And India is playing against the neighbours from the other side of this sea.
If India were to win this match...
the neighbour's military may confiscate the boats.
They may confiscate the catch. Or else...
A father and his son, a man and his brother, an uncle and his nephew...
may be forced to perfrom homosexual intercourse.
Or, they might just shoot them dead.
And that's why they pray for India to lose, or a rain to cancel the match.
'I go to Buddha for refuge.'
The Holiness of God the Father, the noble soul; Amen.
We don't know if their prayers made it rain, or if it just rained.
Nor do we know the fate of those fishermen.
We don't even know if the cricket match was halted.
If you feel this comparison is a bit like comparing apples and oranges...
Let me tell you, this story is all about comparing apples and oranges.
If you see an apple, it's an apple. If you see an orange, it's an orange.
And now, it's the story of oranges.
This girl ceaselessly riding her scooter in the ceaseless rain...
goes by Althea Johnson.
An Anglo-Indian.
She's got a corporate job, makes 80 thousand a month.
Her 80 thousand salary doesn't keep Activa tyres from going flat.
If it's meant to go flat, it will go glat.
The 65 year old man accused of raping the minor school-girl...
has been sentenced to life imprisonment by Thiruvarur Women's Bench.
A fast-track women's court in Karur sentenced the abuser of a 3 year old child...
Police Department's statistics state that nearly
92 women fall victim to sexual assault everyday.
Don't look at me that way. I'm not going to rape you, okay?
I didn't come here to rape you.
Like you, I'm just a guy taking refuge from the rain.
A guy shivering in the rain.
Okay?
If you're feeling so shivery, go down some shots.
What a grumpus.
What?
Why are you staring at my legs?
Your legs aren't nice enough to ogle at or admire.
Be quiet. Don't pluck words from my mouth.
She wears a skirt and accuses me of staring at her legs and her kegs.
Shit.
This car, that splashes slush on them, is an Audi.
It's not something you buy in our Aadi season sale.
'Cause the price of this car is 15 million rupees.
But that's not the point.
This car will end up killing someone in five minutes.
Unfazed by all this, the pouring rain poured on. And it got them talking.
The beautiful girl in the skirt.
And the uncouth boy with the beard.
What could he say?
He told his love story.
You know, the same old sympathy story.
Name- Prabhunath.
Education- M.A. in English.
Hometown- Cooum.
But unlike the stinky Cooum river, I don't stink.
The River Cooum, and I, didn't stink till we reached Chennai.
When my father, the last of my family in the town, died...
with his farm dying before he did...
I came to Chennai in search of a job.
Not North Chennai or South Chennai.
I came to the Chennai beyond Taramani.
The New Chennai.
Upon seeing that road, I felt like I'd find a job.
Because the road was named after my dad's favourite...
The Harbinger of Revolution- M.G.R.
M.G.R. Road.
'Who is the man, who feeds the whole world? Who is he? Who is he?'
'The Farmer...'
I got a job at a call-center...
a multi-national company's call center.
Where I'd speak to people of multiple-nationalities.
Hi. Thanks for calling Janex. This is Thomas. How can I help you, sir?
'Is there a thing lacking in our great nation?
Why must we bow before foreign nations?'
'Toil hard in your farmland; And your value will soar in faraway lands.'
For a meagre 12 thousand, my ears nearly bled.
I wish I had never taken up this job.
But there was a silver lining.
In the building opposite my office building...
Sowmya worked as a software engineer in an IT company.
The Exquisite Sowmya.
If you're wondering what's exquisite about her...
she was the only traditionalist who wore long tunics over her jeans in M.G.R Road.
Not just that. She even covered her upper body with a wrap.
She even wore the traditional saree.
Only problem with her, was that she cried often.
You're crying today also, Sowmya?
My team leader asked me not to wear saree often to work.
In my office, they ask me to shave off my beard.
Is that something worth crying over?
You're shaving it off?
Does it look good?
No. But you'd look worse without it.
Oh, I'll whack you!
Yeah, right.
I've got good news. - What?
They said I'll be sent to the US to work on-site next month.
Superb, Sowmya! Superb.
If I find another job there and settle down, all my problems will be solved.
Okay.
But I'll need 300 thousand rupees for that.
Do you have it?
Keep the money inside.
How?
This is nothing!
If you ask for it, I'd even rob a bank to get you 3 million in 3 minutes.
Then why did it take you 30 days?
Sowmya, I'll whack you!
Thanks.
Three hours later, she departed from Chennai.
I feel strange.
I didn't feel like working. Or eating. Or sleeping.
Thank God for Skype! I don't know what I'd have done without it.
Exquisite Sowmya! You're crying even in the U.S?
I'm not able to sleep at nights.
You miss me too much?
No.
Jetlag.
Woman!
I work night shifts at a call-center, too.
Is that something to cry about?
You never cry for anything?
Someday, I will make you cry.
Okay, wipe those tears and go to sleep. I'm sleepy.
Wait! Don't fall asleep.
Talk to me.
I'm sleepy now. Good night.
Wait! Now my sleep-cycle is broken. Please talk for a while longer.
Go to sleep, Monkey. I've got a long day ahead tomorrow.
Don't be so selfish! - You're the selfish one. Good night.
Sowmya...
Sowmya!
You've put on lipstick?
Isn't it nice?
You've changed your hairstyle?
Yes, I can't braid my hair all the time.
What's with that top?
You're freaking out for that? Now watch this...
Tadah!
Can't see?
OH NO!
My Exquisite Sowmya, the traditionalist from M.G.R. Road...
how did she change so suddenly when she went to work abroad?
I still don't believe it.
Unlike our country where people ogle at fully covered bodies...
dressing down is not a problem here.
Prabhu, listen to me!
I'm with a friend. I'll call you later.
Please, Prabhu! Try to understand.
I've been calling you for so many days!
I told you I'd call you back.
She said she'd call back. But it took her several days to do so.
Bye.
You finally felt like calling me?
I have to say something. Will you listen to me?
Tell me.
I couldn't find another job here.
I don't know how I'll repay your 300 thousand.
There are problems at home, too. - That's not a problem.
Come back home. I'll handle it.
I have something important to say to you. Please don't get mad.
What?
I met somebody here. He is an Indian.
He wants to marry me. He even has a citizenship here.
Stop joking, Sowmya. - I'm being serious.
Let's be practical about it...
Practical, my foot!
Sowmya, listen to me.
Come back. I'll handle it.
I'll call you later, Prabhu. I'm busy.
Wait a minute, Sowmya!
Hello?
Bitch.
She never spoke to me after that.
Her phone stopped working.
The mails I sent her bounced back.
She'd gone beyond my coverage area. She was lost to me.
I went where one went when they have nowhere to go.
Railway Station- Taramani.
Stupid idiot!
Had you fallen, you'd have turned to gravy, you know?
Like gooey masala gravy. Get lost!
Barnabas.
The night constable at Taramani Railway station.
He slapped me and dragged me away. And thus became an elder brother to me.
But to this day, I address him as 'sir'.
Felt awkward to call him 'brother', somehow.
To keep him company, I started sleeping in the railway station at nights.
He showed me a small room, and I built a new life there.
And the beard grew longer.
End of story.
Bye.
Hello!
I'll push it for you?
Okay.
This is the man that the Audi hit and ran. Name - Ravi. Surname - Chamar.
Hometown- Nawada. State- Bihar.
Don't know when the last of his pulsating life will abandon him forever.
Don't know if the news of his death will reach his wife and children.
But that's not our problem.
Let's stick to our story that started at the building where he worked.
See...
Love is just a part of life. You should celebrate life.
Be happy. Move on!
I didn't share my story so you could give me advice.
If not for you, I'd have told my story to
the bus-stand or this rock or the rains.
I don't like advices.
So...
See...
These days, after a break-up...
you must get clean-shaved, take a nice picture, upload it on Facebook...
and change your relationship status to 'Single'.
This beard thing...
is very old-fashioned.
This is not an advice. Just an update.
Thanks a lot for the update.
Madam, the vehicle is ready.
Oh!
Thanks.
Shall I drop you somewhere?
I was just being polite!
Even I offered to push your vehicle out of politeness!
But you made me push it for 2 kms!
Let's go.
What you said is true.
About the beard and everything.
It's not just the break-up.
I'm a thief.
The 300 thousand I gave her...?
Did I tell you how I got it?
Sir...
Sir?
Sir!
Your money!
Sir...
To steal is a great sin. But to steal for someone else, is a greater sin.
Stealing with the hope that someone else
would return the money is the greatest sin.
To this day, I haven't been able to return the money.
Only when you steal, you know the burden
of living your whole life with the guilt.
When I was in second grade, I stole an eraser from my friend.
It was a pink, jasmine scented eraser.
Whether it's 3 rupees or 300 thousand...
stealing is stealing.
I stole out of greed.
But you stole for need.
Besides...
you intended to return it.
It's okay.
Shit happens in life.
You have to move on.
I'm not just a thief.
But a murderer, too.
What?
After seeing Sowmya off at the airport, I saw the newspaper later in the evening.
A 65 year old man named Rahim has been found dead at the Velachery train.
The railway police suspect that he may have suffered a heart attack.
It was the heart attack that killed him!
He was sitting up when I took the money.
But in the newspaper photograph, he was lying down.
Maybe...
after I took the money...
he woke up to find that it's gone...
and died from the shock?
Then?
I went to the Railway Police Station.
What do you want?
Taking refuge from the rain. - Okay, sit.
Sir, Rahim Bhai...? - You are?
He's my paternal uncle. - Wait, the inspector will be here.
Where did you buy this? It's all rice and no meat.
Who is Rahim Bhai? - Sir...
Check the belongings and sign here.
Mother, how much money was there?
500 thousand.
Sir!
Sir?
What?
There should be 500 thousand. Only 5000 is there.
So the money?
Look, the thief has left a note!
Forgive me, sir. I've taken your 300 thousand.
This money will change my life.
I will return it within three months.
I've noted down your address.
Forgive me. Yours truly, Prabhunath.
He has written his name, too.
Must be a ballsy guy.
Anyway, give me that wad of cash.
You pocketed a few notes?
No, sir. 195 grand, intact.
Then, 75 grand for the inspector. 75 for the sub-inspector.
And we'll clear the rest between the three of us.
Thank the Almighty for paving the way for this month's medical bills.
Lord Easwara!
To sum it up...
Thieves steal from us. Police steal from thieves AND us.
And the hospitals steal from cop and civilian alike, no disparity.
Long live democracy!
Thanks.
My house is this way. Yours?
That's my room, with the asbestos, next to the orange house...
But...
why do you ask?
I only told you my story because you were a total stranger.
Even if we do stumble upon each other, pretend like you don't know me.
Please. Bye.
Hey...
I know you don't like advice...
But here are three pieces of advice.
1- Don't tell your story to random strangers.
There's no guarantee that everyone will be a nice person like me.
Oh. And?
2- You weren't the only thief.
Those cops did steal, too.
So have I.
Unwittingly or not, everyone in this world
might have been a cause for another's death.
So you should just-- - "Move on", shouldn't I?
Okay. Bye.
Wait. There's one more.
What?
Don't smoke from now.
Why? Because I'll get cancer?
No. Because you don't know how to smoke.
That's why! Bye.
When fishermen from Rameswaram were fishing near Dhanushkodi...
the Sri Lankan navy launched an assault
three fishermen were shot dead.
What are you looking at?
Did you bring the cops?
Why did you come here?
Yesterday, you looked like some derelict who hadn't eaten in days.
See, you're attracting all these flies.
I was just passing by...
thought I could bring you some food.
Thank you very much.
Go to the station. I'll see you there.
The Indian Team has leaped to victory.
With this win, India move up to the top spot in the ICC rankings.
How can you just come to my room?
I'm not even paying for it.
If it is known that a pretty girl like you had come, I'll get thrown out.
Not just that. I'm a guy.
A bearded guy.
What if I did something to you?
Why are you laughing?
You can't do anything.
What?
Of course.
You told a random girl on the road, "I'm a thief, a murderer".
"A girl dumped me. I'm depressed."
Who narrates his life history? Please.
You're an innocent fool.
You're the first person who said my legs aren't beautiful.
Let's see.
Your legs are alright. Didn't look that way yesterday.
Especially the curve of your hamstring and the bend of your knee.
Superb.
Don't talk this way. You don't know about me.
I wasn't coming to touch you.
I would tell you first before touching you.
One minute.
Althea Johnson. Human Resource Manager. Dembos.
Your height must be around 5'11''?
But you're wearing heels.
You must be 5'9''.
And weigh around 60 kgs?
34 - 28 - 36
Please. Don't talk this way.
I'm already married.
You lie so blatantly!
Why do you think it's a lie?
No married woman in Tamil Nadu has a waist size of 28.
They're all extra large.
I wish I could be extra large, too.
To eat well, nap in the afternoons and watch TV all the time.
But I didn't get that.
But I've got a nice little boy.
I have a son.
I didn't ask you to come to my room or get me a sandwich.
You came and spoke to me.
Then why do you lie about a son?
I'm not going to ask you out. I didn't even think about us being friends.
We're just strangers. Let's better be strangers.
Okay. Bye, Stranger.
Wondering why a girl would listen to a bearded man's sob story in pouring rain?
Even that's okay...
Wondering why she'd knock on his door and bring him a sandwich?
Maybe even that's plausible.
Wonder why a girl would speak to a guy who
comments on her figure, rather than slap him?
You would have wondered, for sure.
But none of you ever wondered why they built so many structures on this wetland?
Then you must not wonder about this either.
Is there a connection between building in
swamp and this love story? Yes, there is.
That's the story of apples and oranges.
If you see an apple, it's an apple. If you see an orange, it's an orange.
Hello, Stranger!
Practising smoking, huh?
When it started raining, I was wondering if you'd turn up.
And here you are. Welcome!
Do you believe me at least now?
My son.
Hi.
Hi!
Can I get a towel? He's drenched.
Come to my room.
How do you know Althea?
I...
No, I mean...
Beardwala! Mommy is calling you.
I'm going to touch that tree.
Leave me down. Leave me down. - Okay!
Okay, go.
Do you know where my dad is?
Where?
He went into the sea.
Why?
To swim with the dolphins.
When did he go?
Long, long, long back.
How long?
Long, long, long, long.
100 years ago!
What's your age then?
One hundred and five!
Really?
You don't believe me?
I believe you, okay?
Promise? - God promise.
Stop it.
How many time do I have to tell you, Adrian? Stop it.
Who gave you this ball? - Stranger.
Stranger?
Beardwala!
Beardwala? He is a very bad man, Adrian.
Don't take anything from him.
He's a bad man. - No, he's a good man!
Bad man. - He's a good man.
Listen, Adrian. He's evil.
Mommy said he's a good man.
Don't believe your mother.
She is useless. She'll never change.
She is a bitch.
Bitch means?
Go ask your mother.
Mommy...
Mommy!
What does bitch mean?
Who told you that?
Granny said you're a bitch.
Bitch, bitch, bitch.
You never sleep before me, dear!
Okay, I'll hang up, then.
Goodbye, dear.
Oh, Jesus.
It's been 20 years since I got married.
Even I may fall asleep on night duty, but my Venus never does.
This Barnabas is one lucky man, what say?
You say this every night. I need a favour.
What?
Althea has walked out of her house. - Why?
They spoke to her rudely.
What did they say to make her leave home?
They called her a bitch.
'Bitch' is like 'witch'?
What?
Slut.
Disgusting. - Forget it, sir.
She needs a place to crash tonight.
She'll leave to her friend's place at 4:30 in the morning.
Can she be at the station till then?
Railway Station is the first place for everyone with nowhere to go.
Ask her to come.
Thanks a lot, sir.
Why don't you marry that girl?
What?
You will marry the conservative Venus from
suburbs who waits on you hand and foot...
But I should marry a city girl who already has a child from previous marriage?
I'm not stupid.
What village girl - city girl? A girl is just a girl.
Education seems to have made these kids duller.
But I can't fix him.
Jesus is everything; Jesus is my everything.
Sorry, Thea. This is all because of me.
Not at all.
Really sorry. I mean it.
It's okay.
You lie down, then. I'll be with Officer Baus.
You're afraid? That I'll come with you in the morning?
Don't worry. I'll leave by 4:30.
I promise.
Sit.
You will never ask?
What?
The question that everyone asks me within three minutes of seeing me.
"Where is your husband?"
You didn't say. I didn't ask.
To each person, I tell a different story.
That he's gone to Dubai. Or Australia.
Or the Moon.
That he's passed away.
That he went to swim with the dolphins.
He believes the dolphin story to be true.
And the others pretend to believe me.
I should tell someone the truth, shouldn't I?
Three months after our marriage, I found out...
Why didn't you tell me?
We've known each other since we were kids. We're good friends.
How could I, Thea?
What do you mean?
If I tell you, and my parents find out, I was scared they would kill themselves.
The first time I...
I wanted to kill myself when I realised it.
In fact, I tried twice.
Do you like me?
A lot.
No, as a woman.
Do you like me like that?
Tell me the truth, Jacob. Please!
Then...
How did you sleep with me all this time?
It was more like masturbation.
What did he say?
Like fantasizing about someone else and masturbating.
Let us separate, Jacob.
Yes, Thea.
But what will we tell everyone?
If people find out...
Tell them anything. Tell them it's my fault.
Tell them I'm of bad character.
That I had an affair with my boss.
Whatever pleases you.
I could never, Thea.
About you, that too.
It's fine, Jacob.
I can understand.
It's not a sin.
And it's not your fault.
I like you a lot.
You're a good man.
This is not your fault, Jacob.
You're a good soul.
That's fine.
But why didn't you say the truth?
Why did you do bring this upon yourself?
It's okay for me.
I'm a straight woman. I will get on with life.
But no one will understand him.
Even you don't understand, right?
That's why.
Does he know about the son?
He doesn't.
I found out about Adrian only after he left.
My naughty little imp.
Do you know where he is now?
I do.
In this same planet, somewhere.
Maybe he's swimming with dolphins.
Or flown to the moon.
Or gone to Australia.
Must be around, somewhere.
Sorry, Thea.
Why do you feel sorry?
Even I don't.
I'm sleepy. I'll sleep now.
Wake me up at 4 AM, please.
I don't need to bother. The 4 AM train will wake you up.
Sleep peacefully.
Good night.
I'll be over there.
Yeah, good night. - Good night.
Hi, morning! - Hi.
I'm so sorry we're late. - No worries.
They've only given the keys to three rooms. Their stuff is in the other rooms.
Thank you. - Okay, see you then.
Bye. - Bye!
Say bye. - Bye.
Whose house is this?
My friend Gautham.
He bought this house and left to Canada.
I said I'll stay for a few days. He said I could stay for free for six months.
If it's free, can I stay here too?
No, it's too complicated.
Please, mom. Let him stay here.
I love this Beardwala!
Please, mom. Please.
Okay.
Thank you, young man.
Welcome, old man.
I'll go get the bags.
Bye. - Bye!
Okay, let's get you ready for school.
Come on. - No school.
No, you have to go to school. Get up. Get up!
No!
Before these people came here, before this house sprung up here...
since the time this place was a marshy field, this pigeon has been visiting here.
It goes in search of it's partner, to speak of the lost marshy fields.
Hi. - Hi!
Thanks for bringing the suitcase. - It's okay.
I made some tea. - Fine.
Here.
Where is Adrian?
He's gone to school.
I need to say something.
What?
I'm in love with you. - What?
I said I'm in love with you.
If you have such thoughts, get out of this place immediately.
Have I said something wrong?
My son is my only priority in life.
Then why tell me everything?
Before you came along, I was talking to my scooter.
Then I talked to you.
That's all.
So I'm like that scooter?
No. You are lesser than my scooter.
Okay?
Serves me right!
So humiliating.
You haven't left?
I need five minutes.
You're panting so hard!
The elevator wasn't working. I climbed up and down 28 levels.
Let us be friends.
I'll think about it.
You shouldn't smoke.
Why?
Because you are the mother of a child.
So?
You are the son to some mother.
My life is difficult.
My future looks bad.
The girl I proposed to, didn't like me.
My life is difficult, too.
I have a bad past.
And I don't like any of the men who have proposed to me.
We'll be friends.
Okay.
You don't know anything about me.
You don't even know that I smoke.
Suppose I cheat on you, like that girl?
I'll kill you.
Killing can wait. First shave off this beard.
Can I call Beardwala 'dad'?
I love you.
When a girl tells a guy 'I love you', what would he do next?
He'll drop her at work the very next day.
Okay, I'm late. Bye. - Bye.
He'll promptly pick her up in the evening.
Superb.
He'll master 'ing' verbs that don't have words in Tamil yet:
such as, packing, body guarding, shopping.
As a reward for it, he may occasionally win an upper body garment.
No. - Why?
Poor chap. Today is not his day.
He'd sit at glass-doored coffee houses with wistful dreams about the future.
There is a walk-in interview at DCS BPO.
10 AM.
You don't have to work at a BPO! I've got a job.
Do your MBA from home. You'll find a good job.
He would master the art of spying on her phone
under the guise of sipping fruit juice.
Sarah has invited for a party tomorrow. 2 o clock.
You really need to go?
Fine, I won't. Okay?
Okay.
Where are you going now?
To the toilet!
May I go there? - Have a nice trip.
A week later, he would embrace her in front of the ocean and exchange kisses.
A week after that, he'd gently lead her into the bedroom and shut the door.
This amazing lover, after all that, would ask her...
How do you have 2,248 friends on Facebook?
Why?
I only have fifteen friends!
What can I do if you don't make any friends?
Who is this Arun K Vishwa?
Don't know. Must be some friend's friend.
He has commented on your photo saying, 'You look gorgeous'.
So?
But a total stranger...
Wouldn't you like it if someone called you beautiful?
So you like it?
Of course I like it.
He will encounter many such surprises.
Your skirt...
Yes, it's a skirt.
Instead of wearing one this short, wear one that falls below your knees?
Why?
Everyone might look at you with bad intent.
Would you?
I wouldn't! But others will.
Don't talk about my skirt. I know how to dress and carry myself.
Don't start a fight over it. - No, I was just saying...
Then...
Happy birthday, Thea.
Don't go to work today?
Don't start.
I told you already, I must go to work.
No. You're spending the day with me.
Then...
Say it.
What?
You always say important things in the elevator.
Isn't that why you've come?
Say it.
I saw your birthday pictures from last year on Facebook.
I saw you cutting a cake with random colleagues...
hugging and getting gifts from them.
So I thought, this year, you could be with me...?
Is this why you asked me to take the day off?
Look, I didn't share my Facebook password so that you could spy on me.
Grow up.
No. I'm sorry, Thea! - It's fine. Let it go.
Sorry, Thea.
It's fine.
Just leave it. - I didn't mean to hurt you.
It's okay.
Then...
Hi!
Where is Adrian?
I dropped him at his friend's place.
Althea! - So the party went well?
Althea!
I think someone is calling you.
It's my boss. - Oh, boss?
Two minutes? - Carry on then.
You're unwrapping my gift in the middle of the road like Adrian!
Are you a kid ot what?
Oh, yes. All this happens to me because I'm like Adrian.
What?
Read what's witten here.
'Hope this fits you.' So?
What does that mean?
Don't you know what it means?
What does it mean?
Don't behave like this outside my office for everyone to see.
What does it mean, Althea?
He's asking if it's my size. Enough?
Oh. How does he know?
Prabhu, please. It's my birthday. Don't ruin my birthday.
How does he know? - Prabhu, not in the road!
How does he know, Althea? - I don't know, go ask him.
Oh. It's that Gopalakrishnan, right?
Ask him to come here. I'll ask him.
Let's go, Prabhu.
He's at your office upstairs? Will you ask him or shall I?
Shit.
Althea, wait.
Althea, stop. Listen to me.
Althea, please. Listen to me.
Get on to the scooter. Please.
I won't bring this up again. Get on the scooter.
Promise? - I promise I won't talk about it.
Let's go?
Yeah.
What did your boss say?
He said 'Happy birthday'.
He had to hug you on the road to say that?
Look, I'm not Adrian to believe all your lies.
It's normal in corporate culture to hug your boss. And that's fine.
But I felt possessive. I'll let that go, too.
Tell me what this note means. Come on, tell me.
The signal is on. Go now. - Signal, my foot.
Please don't test my patience. Answer me.
How did he have the guts to write such a thing?
Are you that close with him?
Tell me, woman!
How does he know your size?
Answer me.
You always shut me up by saying our lifestyles are different.
Tell me, how does he know your size? - Look, pull over. Pull over!
Open your mouth, woman. - Stop or I'll jump!
Jump, then.
Get lost!
Thea, please don't cry. Please.
I'm sorry, Thea. I didn't mean to do that.
I've made a mistake. Please forgive me, Thea.
I couldn't control it, Thea.
Please don't cry. Please, please!
Just stop, okay?
The door was open. I thought you had left. That's all.
Thea, where would I go?
If you're leaving, just tell me first. Okay?
I've never loved anyone in my life so much.
Or depended on them.
Or trusted so much.
I depend on you so much I only hate myself for it.
Thea, you're everything to me.
When a girl tells a guy that she loves him,
depends on him, trusts him, what will he do next?
Hi!
Who drew this? - Beardwala and I.
Really?
Who is this?
This is Beardwala!
And this? - This is me.
This is you.
Me?
And this?
This is our sweet home.
Wow!
Very good, baby!
So mommy is going to Delhi tomorrow.
Will you stay with Beardwala? - Okay!
I love Beardwala!
You're going to Delhi tomorrow?
An official trip with my boss.
Then...
Good morning. - Good morning!
As usual, your boyfriend has called on the landline four times.
Go. Give your attendance.
Hello.
You know I'll call as soon as I reach the office.
What was the hurry? Why do you call so many times?
You left your phone behind.
Sorry.
Can you put my phone on charge? I may not have time before the flight.
I live to charge your phone, carry water cans and iron your clothes.
Huh?
Your boss has sent a text.
Oh. Saying what?
To put it in civilised English, "Shall we extend our trip to Kulu Manali for two days?'
In uncivilised Tamil, "Will you sleep with me in Kulu Manali?"
And you're going to Delhi with him?
What's his problem today?
It's nothing.
I'm going to Delhi, right?
And our stupid boss has sent a disgusting text as usual.
And my boyfriend read it. So...
What? He checked your mobile?
So cheap! If my husband had even touched my mobile, I'd have chopped them off.
If you give him so much space, he will control you.
The mistake is all yours.
No.
His lifestyle is different. He won't understand all this.
You keep saying that.
Hi, Vishwa! - Good morning.
Good morning. - Morning!
Pick up the damned phone!
Want to go for a coffee?
Now?
Let's go.
Pick up the phone, woman. Pick up.
Hello. - Don't hang up!
I won't.
Why do you torture me when I'm at work? What do you want?
He's sent such a disgusting text. Don't go with him.
What do you care whether or not I go with him?
He is being so cheap! - Is that your problem?
I get to decide whether or not I will sleep with him. Not him.
Get that?
Listen-- - No, you listen...
I've been on this job for ten years.
I know how to handle these men.
I know how to take care of myself. I don't need a bodyguard.
If that's fine, be my lover.
No, you listen to me.
You don't need to say anything. I have a lot of work, and a meeting.
I'll call you later.
Don't you dare hang up! I'll jump from the tower.
Fine, jump if you want to.
Stupid.
Did you send me a text?
What?
Did you or did you not?
Yes, what's wrong in that?
What's wrong in that?
There's nothing wrong. You're the perfect gentleman in this office.
What are you saying? - Everybody, listen up.
Mr. Ankit is the nicest guy in the entire office.
Let's talk in my cabin. - Get your hands off me.
Come, Althea. - Get your hands off, man!
You moron.
Not just Delhi, I wouldn't even ride the elevator with you.
You and your sucky job.
You want to fire me? Go ahead.
Relax.
There is a lot of stress in our office.
I think everyone here needs a psychological counselling.
Everybody focus on your jobs. Back to work!
What's going on here? Tell me.
What? - Are you going to Delhi?
What is it to you?
I've packed my bags, Thea. If you're going, I'm moving out.
Damn it! Fine, go.
Wait, Thea.
I really will move out of the house.
Fine, go one then. The door is over there.
You asked me to tell you before going!
You've told me now. You've told me.
Get lost.
Stop, Thea. Stop!
I'm talking to you, and you'd just walk away?
Do I look like scum to you? Huh?
Yes, you are. You're scum.
Some random man texts you asking to go to Manali, and it's my fault?
Am I wrong for questioning it?
Who are you to question me? Who are you?
Who am I?
You live off me, eat my food, live in my house. You're a beggar!
What did you say? I'm a beggar?
Just because you're 6 ft tall and fair, you're so stuck up.
All this will wear out. It will rot. It will decay.
Who is this? This Gautham from Canada?
What is he to you? - You really want to know?
Why should he let you live here for free for six months?
I slept with him? Okay?
I screwed him. - How was he?
How was he?
Much, much, much better than you.
You are a bitch. Your mother was right about you.
Now I get it. You were sleeping with your boss.
That's why your husband left you. - Stop it! Shut up!
And now I know why that girl left you.
No woman can live with you.
You're worse than any thief. You're worse than any murderer.
You're a rapist.
Who are you calling a rapist?
Mom?
It's okay.
It's okay. Don't look at him.
Don't look at him.
"Who am I?"
She says I'm the rapist?
Come out.
Come out now. - What do you want?
Come out. Answer me.
Come on, come on. - Adrian, stay there.
What now? Want me to answer your questions?
You want answers? - Yes, I do.
Go. - Where?
First, get out.
First answer me. - Go out. I will answer.
Get out.
Get out!
What? - You want answers? Go out.
Answer me! - Get out, you mongrel.
I'm a mongrel?
Now you've showed me that a mongrel shouldn't be pampered.
Get out. Get out, you mongrel!
I'm a dog! - Get out!
Althea, open the door.
Open the door, Althea.
Althea, listen to me.
Althea!
The cries heard from skyscrapers, the ocean, the singing migratory birds...
the lakes, the pigeons, the farmers and the fisherfolk...
the buildings that have sprung up on these lakes...
the immigrant workers from Bihar and Orissa who built them..
the IT and BPO workers who speak in global languages...
the real estate men...
and the hotels and shops that came along to feed and clothe these people...
and so the sun sets in Taramani, the home to all of these creatures.
Two dosas, please.
What? - When will Beardwala come?
He will come soon. Okay?
You, you, you.
My love for you, is vast as the oceans.
My hatred for you, is stronger than mountains.
Hello.
Who is this?
Are you the tiger, disguised as cattle? Or am I?
Hello.
Hello, who is this?
Why?
Where should I come?
I will try.
Come in.
I didn't think you would come.
I just generally called.
Thanks for coming.
Where is your husband?
He’s out on some visa work.
He’ll be back in 30 minutes.
Oh! So I must leave in 30 minutes, right?
What’s this?
Chocolates.
I think about what I've done every single day.
I regret it everyday.
Yeah, I can see that.
It’s written all over your face.
I know there's no way I can undo my mistake.
I know that no words can set it right.
If you want to, you can.
If you want to set it right, you can set it right.
What I should do?
Sleep with me.
What?
Oh, you forgot Tamil after going abroad?
Sleep with me.
Ankit, I want to know something.
Do you send such messages only to me or to other women too?
Althea, I am not a womanizer.
Then why did you text me?
Because, you're pretty and...
...you’re sexy.
Oh, am I the only pretty woman in the office?
According to me, in the entire world,
there isn’t even a single woman who isn't beautiful.
Then, why me?
Why?
You’re single.
Stylish.
You wear skirts.
You smoke.
So I gave it a shot.
If you don’t like it, you can refuse.
There’s nothing wrong.
The only mistake I made was...
I didn't know you had a boyfriend.
Oh.
That’s the only mistake you made?
I’m not evil.
Even if I’m a bad man, remember...
I’m your boss.
If I wanted to, I could have fired you then.
We work in the same office.
And it was odd that we weren't talking.
That’s why I called you.
To ease the tension.
And, I’m just a harmless flirt.
Can I take a picture with you?
Why are you so quiet?
Take off that shrug.
Smile.
One more? - Of course.
Look here.
Look.
I’m talking to you, look here.
Look.
Hello. I'm talking to you.
You're not worth sleeping with.
Ankit.
I don’t know if you are a good man or not.
But I am a bad woman.
What?
You’ll know tomorrow.
What? Your sacred wedding chain is here.
Forgot to wear it after showering?
Probably 10 sovereigns, right?
Must be expensive.
Sowmya...
I have 3 photos of us.
We have 15 minutes till your husband returns.
300 thousand rupees.
If you don't pay me back...
I’ll wait here till your man shows up.
Wait in the living room.
I asked for money, what’s this?
Open it and see.
I thought you wouldn’t accept my money.
So I gave it in a box of chocolates.
If I'd come back from the US...
everyone who loaned money to my dad...
would have done to me everyday what you just did.
There's 500 thousand here...
I didn't ask for an interest.
Keep the extra 200 thousand rupees.
I’ll delete the photos.
It’s okay.
Even if I hadn't paid you, you woudn't have done anything.
Because...
you’re the only good man I have ever met in my life.
Why do you keep scolding that poor girl?
Dumbo, are you paying attention to me?
Barnabas' words are like the Bible.
Superb, sir.
Yeah, yeah. Barnabas' words are like the Bible.
She’s good and I'm evil.
Superb, sir.
Oh, Venus sent a note even today?
Yes, as usual.
Take the white tablet before food.
Here it is.
Do not drink water while eating.
I won’t.
Take the yellow tablet after food.
Yellow, yellow.
Next, Rosie.
Feed biscuits to Rosie and keep her close for safety.
Signed, Venus. With a cross at the bottom.
Sir, Sowmya looks like a good person to you because you have a wife like Venus.
Here, can you feel my pulse?
Am I breathing?
I've been alive these past two years?
Don’t I have a phone? Facebook? Mail ID? WhatsApp?
She could’ve told me this before! She could have told me I’m a good person.
She could have!
Why did I have to grow a beard and live like a beggar all this time?
She’s handing me a chocolate box!
Sitting there with her hair stylish and loose.
I threatened her.
She claimed she did what anyone would have done.
Althea called me a rapist!
Tell me, am I a rapist? Tell me, sir. Am I?
"Beat her out! Kick her out! Don't need her at all."
Director Selvaraghavan was right.
I should’ve slapped her!
But I pretended to be a good man and left.
"Beat her out! Kick her out! Don't need her at all."
Sir…
Don't you touch me.
Sorry, sir.
I shouldn’t have used you like a pickle to my booze.
I came here to give you the 300 thousand rupees.
Why are you giving this to me?
Sir, I wanted to give it to Rahim Bhai’s family...
but they have left the city.
Their neighbours have promised to get me the new address.
I don't know if I'll even be able to absolve my sins.
Please keep it till then.
You don’t even know where I live. How can you trust me? And I’m a cop, too!
Sir, besides my father, you’re the only good person I’ve known.
Can I sit down?
Sit, sit, sit.
Sir, just one more. Please, sir. Last one.
No, that's enough. Your liver is already burned.
Just one more.
Sir, am I really a rapist?
Tell me, sir. Am I really a rapist?
You’re not.
Sir, am I a bad person?
Tell me, sir.
You’re not. Let it go.
Am I good, sir? -You are a good man.
Barnabas’ words are like the Bible. Enough?
I shouldn’t have doubted Althea, sir.
It’s all because Sowmya betrayed me.
That's why I...
If I talk to Althea... I know the words that can fix it.
Here. Talk.
Oh, come on, sir!
She'll yell at me even if I call during the day.
Now it's late. And I'm drunk.
If I call her now she will swear at me.
Will things be okay if I speak to her? - Yes. First speak to her.
Will it be alright sir? - You speak to her.
Hey, just talk to her.
He said he'd talk it out but he's passed out!
Hey, Ankit. Why are you so worked up?
We could talk in your cabin, right?
Don’t joke, Althea.
I’m not joking.
Please delete the photos you uploaded on Facebook.
That is my Facebook account. I uploaded the photos.
What’s it to you?
My wife… she is not like you.
She’s traditional.
The kind who wears saris.
My daughter is a 14 year old teenager.
If they see the photos...
I’m sorry, Ankit.
That is your shit. You have to clean it.
Be a Gandhian.
I never expected you to be this kind of woman.
What kind did you think I was?
No… - No what?
Listen… - Listen what?
Oh, yeah. I’m an Anglo-Indian. Modern.
Open minded.
So if you ask me out, I should sleep with you?
If you apologise, I should smile and walk away?
But I shouldn’t do all this? Is this what you mean?
I’ll fall at your feet.
Money? Money? How much money do you need?
Please delete it.
Will you people never learn?
Please, tell me what I should do. I’ll do it. Please.
I can’t work here, seeing your face.
And I can't quit this job, because I have no choice.
It would be better if you quit.
I will leave. But you delete it. Please.
When are you leaving?
Soon.
How soon?
I will leave in a month. Please delete it. I promise.
I swear on my wife. Please delete it. I swear on my daughter.
Please delete it. - Relax..
Deleted.
Thanks a lot, Ankit.
Althea?
Don’t mistake me for asking this.
What?
Has he left?
Good riddance. Be happy.
I dumped my frustration from seven years on him.
Maybe if I had explained it to him a little patiently...
he might have understood.
He loved me in his own way, you know?
You’ll never change.
Now you sound like my mother.
Is it him?
Hello, Prabhu.
Can you hear me? - I can hear you just fine, woman!
You spoke like you were some epitome of chastity?
Look what's happened. Just like I said.
You slept with him. You took photos hugging him!
Did you enjoy?
Did he do you well?
Tell me!
Open your mouth!
Tell me, you bloody bitch!
You think I can’t see your photos if you block me on Facebook?
You think you’re that smart? Smart ass.
Do you know how your 2248 friends became 2278?
The extra thirty are my fake profiles. Find and block them if you can.
When you accept random friends just so they
can call you hot or sexy or gorgeous...
this is what happens. Do you understand?
I feel ashamed to have lived under a roof with you for 10 months.
I’m disgusted.
What kind of woman are you?
Shit! Hang up.
Sexual predator seduces and cheats married women by calling their phone.
A 30 year old resident of Coimbatore has
stolen women's phone numbers from a store.
He lured women with dirty texts to a public place and robbed their jewels.
Is this even possible?
Looks fake.
It happens, sir.
Really?
Even worse things happen. - It happens, it really happens.
How do you know?
Should I prove it to you?
Why the hell should you prove it to me?
Exactly. Why should I prove it to you? I should prove it to myself.
What? Prove to yourself?
No... I need to know if these women play only me or other men too.
And by knowing it?
Knowing that other people also eat the same
shit, I'll eat it a little more gladly.
Shit...? - You don't know what it means? Poop, sir.
Bro! - Tell me, sir.
You’re the first civilised city person to know the old Tamil word for 'shit'.
You've been played a lot? - Oh, quite a lot.
Go, on. Drink that tea. And automatically shit will come.
Sir, just a minute.
I have my ex-girlfriend’s number. Please note it down.
And torture her to your level best. Don’t spare her, sir.
Keep torturing her. Here's her number.
Bro... - Tell me.
Can you give me the number?
Yeah. Note it down. Please beware. Her husband is a jerk.
These days, the way a guy celebrates his heartbreak has changed.
Some peculiar guys flirt with unknown women...
and torture whichever girl gets stuck with them.
P.S : Apologies for not knowing the exact translation
for the words 'flirt' and 'torture' in Tamil.
Therefore, our sincere apologies for the scant
usage of Tamil words in the following song.
Who are you talking to today? - Just a minute, sir.
How did you land so many girls? - Please leave, sir.
Someday, their men will come after you.
Drink your tea.
You should come out of this shit, Althea.
This Friday night is Salsa night at the pub.
I’m going with my husband. You’re coming.
What will I do in the pub?
Is there some rule that only men should drink because of heartbreaks?
The sea, the rain and me.
You are so romantic.
Then come over.
Okay, done. Where should I come?
Cheers.
You don’t dance Salsa?
I can’t dance.
She loves to dance.
I love to watch her dance.
Hi. - Prabunath.
You look wow. - Thank you.
Okay, shall we leave?
No!
There's a prayer early morning. Mom has already called thrice.
You and your mom…
She'll be waiting for us. - No, no, no. Please, please…
Okay. - Please.
I will bring the car to the entrance. You finish your dance and come soon.
Thank you, baldy!
I love you. - So sweet.
See you! - Bye.
Bye!
Okay, I have to go. He is waiting.
It’s already late.
You are very lucky.
You've got a good husband.
There are no good dogs and bad dogs. Dogs are dogs.
Just throw them the correct biscuits.
Hey, babe...
This for you...
Drink, drink!
Think you're a beauty queen or what? I'm talking to you.
Let it go, buddy.
Hey, hey, hello.
What?
How much?
Huh?
Hey, she is an English bitch.
How much?
What?
Wait. -Ask her buddy.
25,000 rupees, one night?
She's started stripping. Superb.
Hey, what did you say? What did you say?
Who the hell do you think you are?
How dare you? How dare you talk to me like that?
Scoundrels... You think you can say whatever you want to a woman.
Are you guys creating ruckus here?
Get out of this place. Won't you guys listen?
I’ll bloody kill you. - Madam, you leave please.
Go out immediately.
Get lost.
Wedding ring. Platinum. 150 thousand rupees.
Such a small ring costs so much? - Of course, it is.
Can I give you some advice? - What?
Don’t answer a call from a stranger.
Even if you do, don’t talk to him.
Even if you talk, don’t flirt with him.
Even if you flirt, don’t come to the beach like this.
Even if you come to the beach, don’t come on a rainy night.
Even if you come on a rainy night, don’t give him your ring when he asks.
What?
I know people don’t like free advice. So I'm taking this ring as payment for it.
Are you joking, Prabhu..?
No, ma'am. I'm not at all joking.
One second. Wait.
You see this phone?
I got it from Kavitha two days ago for the advice I gave her.
Wait, relax. Cool. - I'll go to the police.
To the police? - Yes.
All our conversations are recorded in this. - No, Prabhu...
Do you know WhatsApp? - Yes.
I can send them anywhere and to anyone.
Now, I will walk this way. You shouldn't scream. - No, Prabhu.
Even if you do, there is nobody around to listen to your screams.
Okay? Can I go?
Bye. Bye, Mamta and don’t forget my advice.
Dear public, it is a criminal offence to upload/share
the photos and voice notes of any individual
on social networking sites including WhatsApp without
explicit consent of the individual concerned.
The offence is liable for sentence of 3 to 5 years
under IT Act and Prevention of Sexual Harassment Act.
Suppose you’re asking how can you announce this during a film?
The Indian censor board tells us to caution against
drinking and smoking in the middle of films.
This, too, can be said.
Hello. What's up at this hour?
Hello, Mr. Assistant Commissioner. Are you busy?
No, my wife was sleeping next to me. Phone was on silent.
Sorry have I wrongly called you at the right time?
Tell me, what’s up?
I went to Kanathur beach with a guy…
Which guy?
No idea. We spoke over the phone. I liked him.
Oh! You go places with unknown men?
But when I call you, you wouldn't come.
Nothing like that.
Okay, you went to the beach.
Then?
He snatched my ring!
It’s just a ring right?
No… It’s my wedding ring.
Hubby will be back in 15 days.
If my ring is missing, it’ll become a big problem.
He’s recorded all my calls, too.
So please help me.
Now you're all sweet.
But if I ask you out for a coffee, do you ever come?
Please do me this favor! Whatever you tell me to drink, I’ll drink!
Really?
Promise!
Okay. Let me note the number down.
Wait for a minute. - Okay.
Give me the number.
7-6-3-9.. -7-6-3-9..
2-3-8.. -2-3-8..
2-2-5. -2-2-5.
Okay. I will call you in morning.
See, Althea... you have become the talk of this company.
In fact, the talk of this town.
What?
The recent incident of you drinking at the pub!
Don’t you people drink?
See, it’s not a crime to drink. But to beat up a guy after that…
They spoke to me indecently. They behaved badly.
So I beat them up.
See, as men we have some privileges.
If we make a mess after drinking, it won’t appear in newspapers.
But you’re a female… and our company’s image…
The paper hasn’t printed my name. How would it print the company’s name?
I think you haven’t checked Facebook since last night.
This has been going viral since yesterday.
Many people have mentioned your name. And the company’s name, too.
So what?
In fact, I was talking to the head office before you came in.
They want you to quit.
In how many days should I quit?
You can take 30 minutes to send your resignation.
Okay. Thanks.
But don’t worry! I am there for you.
You can call me for anything, at any time.
Only thing is, you have to be a little flexible.
I hope you understand.
Corporate companies do not ensure job security, or women’s safety.
To form a union or demand any right is not permitted.
Anybody can be thrown out of their job at anytime.
The employees are similar to Chennai battling during heavy rains.
It’s only been 4 days! Think it’s easy to tap a phone unofficially?
We found out... - Sir?
that he’s on his way to Perungudi to meet a woman like you.
I'm here now. Within 2 hours, I’ll catch him by the neck...
get your ring and phone, and then come see you.
What now? - The phone.
Tell me.
Be careful while speaking over the phone, sir.
These days everything is leaked on WhatsApp.
Especially if a cop is on the phone with a woman.
Sir, our team is in conference call.. -Wait.
Okay, I’ll call you. No, no, no. I won’t.
No, no, no. You don’t call me either.
Please don’t call me.
I’ll come and see you with the ring in two hours. Hang up.
Now tell me.
Sir, I told everyone that it’s not official and it's your personal issue.
Kumaresan is in the tea shop. - Then?
Thangaraj is in the auto.
Grandpa is downstairs. -Okay.
Pushparaj is on the roof.
Everyone knows what to do? - Yes, sir.
Hello.
Reached? - Yes.
Where are you? - In the tea shop.
Turn around.
Can you see me by the window? - Yes. I can.
Sir, looks like the lady is talking to someone on the phone.
How can we tell who it is? Ask them to wait.
My husband will leave now for duty.
I'll call you. You come up then. - Okay.
Where is your son?
He has gone to tuition. I have to go by 8.
How will he be faithful to God if you don’t bring him to church often?
Not only God lives in the Church, Father. Satan does too.
Satan? What do you mean?
I meant my mother.
Your mother is not so bad that you must curse her so.
In fact, she's a much better mother than you are.
Look how pious she is!
You don’t get it, Father.
Why wouldn’t I?
Because you are a Father.
Meaning?
Meaning you are a man.
Forget it, child.
Your mother prayed to take her grandson to Velankanni on pilgrimage.
You have every right to reject your mother.
But you don’t have the right to severe her ties with her grandson.
Send your son. - Let her take him.
You go tell her yourself, please.
15 days only, right?
Take him. But take care of him.
Not like how you took care of me.
Sir, the husband is coming down.
Ask everyone to wait in their positions.
We will handle it once he enters the house. - Okay, sir.
Put this on my tab. Don’t tell Venus.
Sir, they are asking if they can enter?
We are here unofficially. - Correct, sir.
Ask them to wait till he enters. - Okay, sir.
Adrian?
He is on a tour with his grandma for 15 days. I e-mailed you the leave letter.
It's okay. Read this.
An essay he wrote in class.
Please have a seat there and read it.
I will finish some work and talk to you.
Sure.
When everyone writes about their sweet home,
it has a mother, father, grandpa and grandma.
But in my sweet home, there are only 3 people.
Me, mom and grandma. There’s no dad.
Mom said dad went to swim with the dolphins.
Then another day she told someone he went to Australia.
Then on another day she told someone he’s in Dubai.
I know very well that my mom lied to me.
But I didn’t ask her why. Because I love her so much.
One day, my grandma scolded my mom with the word 'bitch'.
I think it’s a bad word. But I’m not sure.
So my mom took me and left the house.
Then one day, Beardwala came. He swam with the dolphins.
I thought he could be my father.
Then one day, he called my mother a bitch just like my grandma and left.
Only my mother and I remain at our home.
Whenever this word came up, it took my sweet home away.
If you’re contemplating suicide, please call 104 immediately.
Government employees are waiting to counsel you
with love and care to help change your mind.
This is all you need. - Don't overreact.
It’s been 15 days. And I still haven't got my ring!
You want it without filing a complaint, right?
And your Casanova has switched off his phone for 15 days.
Can’t even tap it.
Wouldn’t it be better to file a complaint? - A complaint?
That he brandished a knife and snatched your ring when you were in public?
My husband has to believe it, right? - He's just your husband. Wait.
Mr. Gupta. How are you?
I am at your place.
This morning when your missus went for the walk...
somebody flashed a knife and stole her wedding ring, it seems.
Sister is so upset.
She is fine. She is fine. Can we file a complaint?
Sure, sure. Speak to her.
I will talk to you later.
You know I’m on another call. Why the hell do you keep calling?
Sir, you asked us to tap someone’s phone unofficially.
That guy turned his phone on after a long time now...
and we tapped his last conversation and sent it to you through WhatsApp.
Delete it once you're done listening, sir.
Where are you speaking from? - Sir, I'm outside the station. Nobody knows.
Okay, I'll call you back. - Okay, sir.
Hello - Hello. Who's this?
You dont't know me. But I know all about you.
Why did you call me?
This is guy, right? - Yes, he is.
You have something I need. If you give it to me, I will tell you something.
Tell me what?
Say that you'll come to my home. Then I will tell you.
Sorry, I'm not who you think I am.
Be whatever you want.
Come home and I will tell you.
Your wife?
Stop it! stop it!
Loose woman, you’re laughing at a cop?
I’ll kill you!
Superb, Commissioner! Superb.
First go clean your home. Then come to kill me.
I'll deal with you later.
He is going to kill me…?
Whose is this?
Mamta.
Mamta!
Can I keep this?
Keep it.
Thank you.
Okay. I’ll leave.
Wait. First drink some tea.
Asura - The epic story of ten headed Ravana.
Can I have a look at these paintings?
Sure.
Be careful. There is broken glass.
He broke it a couple of days ago in a fit of rage.
For asking whose phone and ring it was.
I haven’t cleaned it yet, hoping it will cut him.
No luck so far.
My daughter's paintings.
It's nice.
Not now. She painted when she was a kid.
What is she studying now?
She is isn't studying.
She is no more.
Sorry.
It's okay. I'm always alone in this house.
No one to talk to. No one to ask if I've eaten.
No one to care for me.
On top of that, I have a cop for a husband.
He treats me like a criminal.
For the first time in life, I've got this proof to skin him alive.
Thanks a lot. - It's okay.
When you called that day I misunderstood.
That's the only way men think.
Sorry. -It's okay.
I can't imagine what would've become of me without these books.
Why have you left the doors open?
My dearest emperor!
I regret causing disappointment to you!
I’ll thrash you!
Who are you searching for? Wandering in forest after forest? Sea after sea?
Oh? Are you searching for Ravana?
My, my.
Your search is futile, your majesty!
Shouldn’t you be searching for me, Sita?
What the hell are you doing? -I'm reading.
Reading a book now?
Why is My Lord drinking liqour instead of searching for Ravana?
Teasing me?
Where is he?
Whom do you seek?
He may be Ravana.
And I may be Sita.
But you are not Rama.
You are certainly not Rama.
So you’re here? You are dead today!
Come down. Come. - Sir, sir...!
Sir!
You dare to come here? - Sir. Sir.
Don't hit the poor chap.
You came to steal? - Yes, sir. I did.
You dare mess with me? - Sir. I'm a thief.
Look at her when you say that! - I'm telling the truth.
Don’t do this.
Look at her and say that. - Please, leave him.
Tell her. Tell her. Tell her. Tell her. - Leave him, please.
Let him go.
Let him go!
Let him go, man. - You speak to me that way now?
I have given you more respect than you deserve.
Run away. Run away now!
Where are you going? - Let him go. He is innocent.
Is he? Is he a poor thing?
I'll kill you. Sit.
Tell me. Why did he come?
To sleep with you?
Why did he come here? - Don't you know?
Did he come to sleep with you? - YES.
How was he? Better than me?
How was he?
Much, much, much better than you.
How was he? Better than me?
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Better than you!
He was superb. Superb. Superb. Superb. Superb.
He was superb? Was he? Was he superb?
Stop it...
Yes, he was! Superb, superb... - Stop it, woman.
This guy was superb? Stop it!
STOP IT!
I won't.
SUPERB. SUPERB. SUPERB. ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?
You came into MY house?
Why do you show your valor to him? Come show it to me!
What did you say? I'll show you? - Take your hands off me.
I’ll kill you! - I will scream.
Go on, scream! Scream! Let me hear you.
Stop it! Stop it!
Stop screaming! Stop!
I knew it when I saw you reading so much,
that you’ll sleep around when I’m not around!
Bloody bitch!
Bloody educated bitch.
What do you know about books? You police dog!
Not just when you aren’t around, even when you are here...
I have and I will keep doing this. - Watch your tongue.
I’ll shoot you.
You threaten to shoot me once every three days!
If you want to shoot, shoot, you mongrel.
Shoot! Shoot! Come! Shoot me, you dog!
COME ON!
I’m coming...
I will shoot you!
Seriously, I will shoot you!
You don’t have the balls to shoot me.
And you don’t deserve to shoot me.
Don't, woman. Don't do it!
Don't!
Sorry, Althea...
Sorry, Althea..
I didn't do it on purpose, Althea.
I shot you...
If I'd had a gun that day, I would have shot you.
Why did you do this? I didn’t shoot you.
Sorry, Althea. I shot you.
Why? Why did you do this? Why?
I didn't do it on purpose...
Please forgive me. I didn't do it on purpose, Althea...
Get out.
It was my fault, Althea. - GET OUT!
Get out of my house. Go!
Get out.
Wife killed in a gas cylinder explosion. Assistant commissioner under suspicion.
Oh, Jesus.
Sir...
Why do you shut the door on me?
I heard Rahim Bhai’s family is in Nagore. That’s why I asked for the money back.
Did you mistake me for that? Sir?
Please, sir. - The money is in my lunch bag. Take it.
Forget about the money. Atleast come out and slap me hard.
My elder daughter wanted the chocolate box to keep her bangles.
Couldn't ask her to return it.
Please, sir.
That’s why I wrapped the money in paper.
I never asked you for the chocolate box. Why, sir?
Whatever it is, please tell it to me face-to-face.
Look...
Get lost.
If I leave, I'll never return.
Listen to me. Go.
Sir?
Get lost. Get lost.
Please, sir.
Did you...?
Jesus!
That house...
Did you take my Venus' number from my phone…?
I locked myself in the room, so I wouldn’t ask such questions.
Leave now. Forgive me.
Not from your phone, sir.
I happened to find it in a payphone booth.
Sorry, sir. Forgive me.
I didn’t know it was Venus’ number. Please, sir.
Who am I to forgive you? Go now.
Don't make me talk. Get lost from here.
I ruined your life.
I ruined everyone’s lives.
Who are you to ruin my life?
Nobody can ruin anybody’s life.
That night you went near my place, the police came home.
Even a cop’s wife, will be afraid of the police, right?
When I went home in the morning, Venus told me everything.
The children weren’t around.
I slapped her. I beat her like hell.
I strangled her neck.
I was afraid she would die.
Then I went to a bar and drank to the brim.
I was afraid I would hurt her more if I went home.
I went home late at night. The door was open.
Venus and the kids were sleeping inside.
Poor thing.
You know, I haven’t even raised a little finger against her before?
Lust.
In my 23 years of married life, I too have faltered a few times.
But I hid it. Because I’m a man.
But Venus, a woman, confided in me.
If my daughter had done this, I would have beat her and corrected her.
I would have done the same with my sisters, too.
Venus is also somebody’s older sister, too.
Venus is somebody's little sister.
She's some father's darling girl.
You’ve done a good thing, boy.
You didn’t ruin anything.
Come here, my boy. Come here!
I said, come.
I didn't know, sir. Forgive me.
Jesus.
Rahim Bhai from Chennai...?
Heard his family moved here.
The elders would know.
You come in the morning. I'll help. You can sleep in the Dargah.
Anybody can sleep in the Dargah. No problem.
Brother..
Keep this.
No, sir... - Don't worry.
We'll find Rahim Bhai's house tomorrow.
Saharama! Saharama!
A man has come from Chennai to see you.
Bye, Uncle.
I'm from Chennai. Rahim Bhai...?
He passed away.
I know.
Allah...
Who are you?
I saw your husband in a train one night.
He was asleep. Nobody was around.
He had 500 thousand rupees in his bag.
I stole 300 thousand rupeesfrom that.
I knew from the next day's newspaper that he died of a heart attack.
He would’ve lived if I had not taken the money.
Here is the 300 thousand rupees.
Please take it.
It’s not because of you, son.
He died of a heart attack at 6 PM, according to the post-mortem report.
He was in the train – an orphaned corpse – from morning to night.
But I am at fault.
I will accept any punishment you give me.
Even if you hand me over to the police.
Atleast take this money. Please.
Tonight...
our honourable Prime Minister is set to announce that 500 and 1000 notes are invalid.
We don't know whether this woman holds a bank account.
Or if she can exchange the currency notes.
Vande Mataram.
Sahara.
Uncle… here.
Eat it.
Eat, child.
Don’t worry. Eat up.
I will.
Son!
Is this phone yours?
It was lying there.
It's not mine.
Not yours? It’s okay. Keep it.
No. You keep it.
I have a phone.
Your phone fell in the water, right? You keep this.
I have nobody to talk to.
What are you saying? Don’t you remember even one number?
I have committed many sins.
All your sins were washed away in that water. Take this and talk.
What’s in the bag?
Bottles?
Give it to me. I’ll give you money.
Who drank all this?
I’m asking you? Who drank this?
My father.
Are you okay, mom?
Promise not to get mad if I say something?
What?
What is a 'bitch'?
Why?
Granny said you’re a 'bitch'.
Beardwala said you’re a bitch.
My school friends say you’re a bitch.
Is that something wrong?
Love you, mom.
Hello.
Prabhu here, Althea.
Which Prabhu? - Prabhunath here, Althea.
What do you want?
I feel like seeing you.
I don't feel like it. If I do, I'll tell you.
No Althea, I'm here downstairs. Can I come home?
Planning to create a ruckus again?
No, Althea. Please!
First, go and stand at the main gate. - Okay.
Tell me? What is it?
I just...
wanted to see you.
That's all.
Now you've seen me.
You've seen me?
So leave.
Althea, wait!
I need to talk to you.
Tell me.
Forgive me, Althea.
Okay. Then?
It was all my fault.
Okay. Then?
I have really changed, Althea.
Okay.
Then?
Please forgive me, Althea. Please.
Okay. I’ve forgiven you.
Now, leave. Please.
Althea, stop.
Althea, please.
Stop Althea. Althea, listen to me.
Please wait, Althea. Listen to me.
Just wait a second, Althea.
One second, Althea. Please, Althea.
What?
Please forgive me, Althea. Please.
Who am I to forgive you?
You did to me what most men do to women.
I didn’t mean to do it, Althea. Please.
No, Prabhu.
Only difference is...
when everyone I came across only wanted to sleep with me,
you’re the only one who wanted to live with me.
You gave me so much happiness.
You gave me a lot of pain.
You gave me everything in excess.
Enough, Prabhu. Please. I can’t do this anymore.
I won’t do this again, Althea. Please Althea.
No, Prabhu.
You and I are fighting...? That's fine.
But Adrian?
You didn’t feel like seeing him even once?
No, I wanted to Althea. I really wanted to.
It’s not just your fault Prabhu. It's mine too.
When you were with me...
I thought you were everything.
I even forgot Adrian.
I didn’t even worry what he would think.
I can’t repeat that mistake, Prabhu.
No, Althea. Please listen to me. Please.
Please, Prabhu.
Do me this one favour.
I like you very much.
That's why I am asking you this favour. Okay?
I will surely do it, Althea.
Surely.
Hereafter, don’t come back to see me.
Don’t call me.
If possible, leave this city. Please.
Because...
if you come back, I’ll be disturbed.
That's why I am asking you this.
Will you do this for me?
I’ll do it.
Okay. Thanks.
Take care.
What?
It will take at least a minute to reach the elevator.
Can I walk with you till then?
Don’t deny me this. Please.
It would take atleast a minute for the elevator to your floor.
I swear, I will leave then.
All the best. Bye.
When a girl tells a guy to leave her because she loves him...
after doing everything that he normally does...
after apologising to her with all those roses...
Pristine raindrops and the purest love are the dirt that cleansed from the sea.
You must be thinking, why does this guy keep talking during a movie?
People update their Facebook status during movies.
And I update mine IN the movie.
That's all.
Thanks.
