'NUVVU NAAKU NACHAV!'
Tea..
Good morning. - Good morning.
'He has woken up. Why did he have to get up so early?'
Tea.. - Give me a cup of tea.
Do you want some tea? - I don't drink tea.
That's a good habit.
My friend, Subramanyam, from Bhimavaram was just like you.
Except for whiskey, he never drank any beverage.
He used to travel from Bhimavaram to Vijayawada daily
but he never used to get down at Vijayawada.
He used to doze off just before the Vijayawada station.
Idiot. He would get up when the train comes back to Bhimavaram.
Where will you alight? - Secunderabad.
We passed that station long ago.
What? Is it gone? Hold this.
Oh, God. I have missed my station! Make way..
One, two, three..
Is it Nampally?
I jumped because they said we had crossed Secunderabad.
Don't you know that Nampally is next?
I know only Anakapalle.
Now, how can I reach Chikkadpally?
There are two ways. - Okay.
First, walk along these tracks and you will reach Chikkadpally.
Second, go out and catch a taxi. - Thanks.
Can't anyone give a proper answer? What am I supposed to do now?
Nandu.. Get up. Do you know what time it is?
Can't you look at the clock? Why did you wake me up for that?
Stop your silly jokes!
They will be coming soon. Get up..
Aunt! How do I look?
You look like a doll, dear.
Hey! She is younger than you. Look, even she is ready.
Learn a few things from her.
I will learn after some time.
It's okay, Aunt. She is sleepy. I am ready to get engaged.
Wish you a happy married life.
Hey.. Get up. Go and freshen up. Go.
Devil. - Get up. I asked you to go.
Let's go, dear.
Where did I keep the necklace?
Why are you wearing a suit?
Why? Doesn't it suit me?
It is your daughter's engagement. Why don't you wear a dhoti?
A dhoti? Don't talk like a country bumpkin, please.
Oh! Shall I change into a churidar?
I will look modern.
I have better idea. Why don't you wear jeans and a T-shirt?
Isn't that enough?
Wearing a skirt might be overkill, right?
You are shameless.
You must take good care of the guests.
They want betel nuts. - It is in the storeroom. - Okay.
Make an idol of Lord Ganesh with turmeric
and place it in the prayer hall. - All right.
Also, get Nandu ready quickly. - Okay.
Hurry up. - Okay.
Greetings. - Greetings.
If you get me the turmeric powder, I will prepare for the ceremony.
It may take some time. Why don't we play a card game?
What game? - It is the game of 7 express.
We still have time for the rituals. We can finish it by then.
What will be finished? - To know that, you have to play.
Do you want me to lose my officiant fee?
Even if I have to conduct the last rites instead of a wedding
I will never play with you.
You are scared. - I am being cautious.
Last year, my uncle came here to conduct a veneration.
After playing a card game with you, he had to officiate
four weddings to repay you.
My entire family has learnt the lesson from you.
Come on. You don't have the sportsman spirit.
Hey! - What?
Can I get a cup of coffee?
If you pester me now, I will divorce you. Beware!
She always threatens, but never divorces me.
It seems you are made for each other.
Hey, Banthi! Get me that coffee.
Give it to me.
Why is it so sweet? - I prefer it that way.
So, is this the coffee that you were drinking? - Yes.
Why didn't you inform me? - Why didn't you ask me?
Hey! I am talking to you. How can you walk away?
I will listen to you after brushing my teeth.
So, didn't you brush your teeth?
Bed coffee.
How much? - Rs. 50.
What? - Rs. 50.
What is this? It costs only Rs. 150 from Anakapalle to Nampally.
But Nampally to Chikkadpally is Rs. 50!
Nowadays, what do you get for Rs. 50?
I don't know about you, but your customers will get a heart attack!
Here you go.
You are being too formal. I am embarrassed.
Make way..
Oh! It wasn't for me. I hope nobody noticed it.
Greetings.. - Welcome.
Thank you.
I hope you had a pleasant journey.
The berths weren't spacious. I couldn't sleep at all.
Berths cannot be stretched. He must reduce his size.
You should do it too.
When did you come from America? - Yesterday morning.
Oh! Will you stay for a few more days?
I will be leaving tomorrow evening.
Come on. You must stay for at least a month.
If I stay back for a month, I need not return.
I can be here permanently.
Nandu, why are you taking so much time? Hurry up!
Shall I come down like this?
Oh, no. Wear a sari. - That's what I am doing.
You! I will talk to you later.
Please come. - Greetings.
Come in. Please come. - Greetings.. - Greetings..
Who are you? - I am Venky, Mr. Sekharam's son.
Are you Sekharam's son? Why are you standing there like an outsider?
Come in..
Banthi! Show him to a room upstairs. - All right.
Today is my daughter's engagement. Why didn't your father come?
He was busy, so he couldn't come.
We will talk once the ceremony is over.
Take him to the room. - All right. - Please come..
Sir. - Thank you. - Please come.
Who is the guy in the suit? Is he the groom?
Yes, sir. - Wow! What does he do?
He is an engineer in America.
What about you? - A graduate from Anakapalle.
The room is upstairs. Go on.
Are you getting bored?
Shall we play pool? - Now?
You don't need an auspicious moment to play this.
Let's play two games.
You can pass the time till the bride arrives.
Thanks. - Please have it. - Thank you.
Sir, Mr. Murthy wants the pack of cards.
Does he want to play? - No, to throw it out.
What do you do?
I think about what I should do. - Oh.
I don't like to do anything in a hurry.
My policy is to do something that will make people remember me.
Oh.. Excuse me. - You may proceed.
Now..
Thank you, pal. You called me at the right time.
A man had been pestering me.
The ceremony? It hasn't started yet.
Hey, have you started already?
Hey, don't drink up everything.
I will join you guys once I am done here.
Hi, it's me.
You look very beautiful in this sari.
Of course, you will be beautiful even without it.
Do you know something?
People have soup before food to improve their hunger.
People drink milk on the nuptial night to get into the mood.
Then what shall we do before the engagements?
Can I suggest something?
Yes. - Where are you?
I am in the washroom. - Everyone is waiting for you.
Yes, I am coming.
Who are you? - Who is he?
The groom.
He is getting engaged to a girl while flirting with another.
It's despicable. - Hey, don't talk rubbish.
I am the bride. Do you know that?
Are you sure? Are you confident? Shall we lock it?
The groom is handsome, but his taste isn't as good.
Look there.
God has made her match with an undeserving man.
Why does God make such mistakes?
God doesn't make mistakes. You are making a mistake.
She is my wife! - Oh! I thought so.
It's such a dangerous place. There is danger everywhere.
Hasn't Sujatha arrived yet? - No, she hasn't.
At least, she could have called.
Sir, are you waiting for someone?
My sister hasn't arrived yet.
Shall we wait?
That's okay. Let's proceed.
Sir, the auspicious moment for the wedding
is on the third day of the bright lunar fortnight
in the month of Shravan at 5.30 a.m.
This is after two months.
Even my son will need about a month to return from the USA.
So, shall I fix this date? - Yes, please.
Pinnamaneni Srinivasa Murthy's only daughter, Nandini
will marry Maganti Ashok's second son, Prasad.
Now, they will exchange the platters.
Please exchange the auspicious platters.
Hello. - It is me, Seenu.
Did my son come there? - Why didn't you come?
I couldn't.
You always come up with an excuse whenever I invite you.
No, don't misunderstand me. Even I want to meet you.
I will surely attend the wedding.
If you don't, I will come to kill you.
That's okay. You met my son, right? Can anything be done about him?
Once he comes home, I will be able to decide the same.
What? Didn't he come back yet?
No, I saw him once in the morning like the newspaper.
After that, I haven't seen him.
Is he allergic to ceremonies?
Don't worry. It is 12 a.m. now.
He will be there in another 15 minutes.
How can you be so sure?
Simple. He goes to watch a late-night film every day.
Does he go to watch a film every day?
Don't be so surprised. He has many wonderful habits.
I will describe them to you in a letter.
Now, go to sleep.
Wait.. I think your son has arrived.
Put him on the phone. I will talk to him.
What will you say? Are you going to ask for the film review?
No.. - Leave it. I will talk to him.
Where are you coming from?
There was a religious discourse at the temple
but it wasn't interesting. So, I went to watch a film.
So, is this your routine?
Your father wants you to learn computers
and send you abroad.
However, you are busy watching films.
So, what do you know?
I know swimming.
I know swimming, sir. - Anything else?
I love music. - Music?
I play the harmonium and drums.
Are you planning to do that here? - No, sir.
Thanks. What else?
I draw pictures. - Where? On the road or board?
On the paper.
I am asking you about your qualifications.
I have done Bachelors in Arts.
How many years did it take you to finish it?
Oh! You finished it quickly.
I worked hard in the final year.
All right. Your father asked me to get you a job.
We will do something in a week.
Have your dinner and go to sleep.
Banthi, show him the outhouse.
Why the outhouse, sir? Somewhere else..
The outhouse will be comfortable.
You will stay there even if it isn't comfortable.
Oh!
Mr. Murthy doesn't like bags and clothes to be strewn around.
Sorry.
He doesn't like the unnecessary use of fans and lights.
Would he like it if I open the windows?
I don't like it. - Oh!
He likes neatness and discipline.
Do you know Lord Hanuman?
I have seen him in temples. I don't know him personally.
I have the same position here.
If Mr. Murthy is Lord Rama, his wife is Sita.
That's why this house is called Ayodhya.
Is the outhouse named Lanka?
Was that a joke? - Sorry.
People just keep dropping in.
Quit smoking and drinking. They will not be tolerated here.
You can change once I go out.
If you go out, I will close the door.
Is this a jail to have rules and regulations?
No lights. No opening windows.
Don't stand. Don't sleep.
What else are we supposed to do?
This guy is pestering me.
Hey! Wait, Banthi. I will teach you a lesson.
Did I disturb you, Venky? - No. Please come in.
Are you comfortable here? - It is fine.
I couldn't talk to you yesterday, as I was busy with the engagement.
Please don't mind.
I brought those sweets for you. Have them.
Does your father still smoke?
He doesn't listen to me.
I keep telling him that smoking isn't good for his health
but he doesn't listen.
Your mother would have controlled him.
When she died, a lot of people suggested him to remarry.
He said that if he married, he would get a wife
but you wouldn't get a mother.
You are fortunate. Not everyone gets a father like him.
Not everyone gets a friend like him too.
If it wasn't for your father, my husband wouldn't have come here.
Truth be told, the comforts we are enjoying
are because of your father.
Even though he helped us a lot, he never expected anything back.
At least, we can hope to do something for him now.
By the way, how are the sweets?
Just like the ones my mother made.
Will you throw those cards away for a few moments?
Why? - Today is an auspicious day.
So? - I want to get your blessings.
Silly, why should I throw the cards in my hands
for you to get my blessings?
Here are my feet. Go ahead.
If you say such strange things, I will cut your legs
then you can continue playing the cards with your hands.
Don't take such violent decisions.
Here I am. - Bless me.
Chanti. Are you free?
Just a second. My legs are busy.
What can I do for you?
Take this money and book a wedding hall.
It is the wedding season. We may not get one later.
Okay.
Okay, stop right there.
If you don't mind, will you keep these inside?
I will get the rest of the things. - Okay.
These are heavy.
Sir..
Why do you have to carry everything at once?
That's fine, ma'am.
He is so hard working. Silly boy.
Why didn't you ask the boy in the outhouse to help you?
He is also helping me.
Thanks.
Why are you standing there? Come here.
You seem to be tired. Sit.
What were we talking about? - Snacks. - Yes.
We must have at least four or five varieties of snacks.
Okay. - We must have 'Jalebi'.
She must not be near the sweets. Note it down.
Note it.
We forgot the pickles.
Don't worry. He will help us out.
What do you mean? - You will make the pickles.
No, I won't.
Both of you can quarrel later.
First, note them down. I am getting worried.
Why do you have to worry?
Do we carry bricks to build our house?
The labourers will carry them.
Similarly, do we have to do everything for a wedding?
If we give out contracts, they will do it.
Who are they? - Marriage contractors.
If we show them the place, they will put up the canopy.
If we pay them, they will prepare the food.
If we show them the groom's family, they will do the honours.
If we notify them of the auspicious moment, they will do everything.
They will even get young girls to welcome everyone.
All we have to do is to get ready and enjoy.
Will they give us the chance to bless the couple
or will they take care of that too? - Hey, keep quiet.
Chanti, your idea is good. What do you say?
It is good.
Why are you leaving, Venky? Didn't you like it?
No one will reject this plan. - I didn't like it.
Didn't you like it? Perhaps, he didn't understand it.
What is there to understand?
Plastic chairs, paper plates, and people on hire.
So, do we have to use teak chairs and silver plates?
No, sir.
A canopy of palm leaves decorated with mango leaves
and food served on banana leaves. That's a wedding.
A wedding should be full of merriment.
The house must be full of relatives
people should wear a lot of jewellery and work hard.
Meanwhile, she.. What's your name? - Padma.
Padma.. Good name. Ms. Padma will come and ask you
about the wedding sari.
It is in the cupboard. - That is how you will answer.
Then he.. - Chanti. - Yes, Chanti.
He will ask if 1,000 chairs are enough
or if you need 500 more.
You will be inviting your dear ones over the phone.
As you speak, guests will arrive. - Here they come.
Hi! - Hi! - Please come.. Sit..
Why are you standing like that? Serve them beverages. Go!
This is how you will order him. Then Ms. Padma will ask you
about wearing a gold cummerbund.
It will be very costly. - Shut up.
I will wear a gold cummerbund. - That's a good decision.
You are talking about saris and jewellery.
What about the groom's family? - I was about to say that.
Thank you. In this chaos, the groom's family will arrive.
We need a canopy urgently. - Didn't you just mention one?
That was at the wedding hall. This one is at the house.
How should it be?
"The sky must come down and make our canopy of clouds."
"The wedding should be so great that everyone praises it."
"This is the occasion"
"where hearts meet and two souls become one."
"New relationships will be formed"
"that will make everyone happy."
"There is greenery everywhere and happiness all around."
"The winds must invite everyone to bless the new couple."
"The sky must come down and make our canopy of clouds."
"The cheeks of the bride will be flush with shyness"
"when the groom looks at her."
"Everyone's blessing will become the boon"
"for their long married life."
"These are the moments when the bride"
"is as beautiful as the rainbow."
"The naughtiness of the groom"
"is a gift of memories for the bride."
"These are the things that happen during a wedding."
"The sky must come down and make our canopy of clouds."
"The wedding should be so great that everyone praises it."
"No one must have heard as melodious music"
"as the small fights that erupt"
"between the groom and the bride's family."
"The card games will take place"
"at the smallest of opportunities."
"The whole area will smell"
"of delicious food being prepared."
"The women will show off their new jewellery and clothes."
"Everyone will move around and keep busy with work."
"The sky must come down and make our canopy of clouds."
"The wedding should be so great that everyone praises it."
"This is the occasion"
"where hearts meet and two souls become one."
"New relationships will be formed"
"that will make everyone happy."
"There is greenery everywhere and happiness all around."
"The winds must invite everyone to bless the new couple."
Hi, Pinky! - Hi, Asha.
What are you reading? Is it a book?
No, it is a love letter written by my classmate.
Love! That too, at your age!
Asha, you are silly. Love is ageless.
I am an idiot for asking you.
Asha! - Hi, Nandu! How are you?
I must not smile but be angry. - Why?
You didn't attend my engagement.
I am sorry, Nandu. I tried my best to come
but my grandmother was ill.
I had to go and see her as she was on her deathbed.
Oh, what happened? - Bad luck.
Did she die? - If she were dead, I would have said good luck.
She is still alive.
I'm scared that she will create a problem
and keep me from attending your wedding.
So, what else? - Nothing. Life is so boring.
I want to go somewhere.
Philosophy doesn't suit your personality.
You are lucky. You got engaged while you are young.
Are you an old woman?
My years are getting wasted.
It will be good if I get married soon.
Don't you have any other ambition than getting married?
In reality, getting married is for the elders.
My real ambition is to have the nuptial night straight away.
You.. You have a dirty mouth.
Coffee. - Banthi, you have lost weight.
He has been working lately. - Oh, no. She may think it is true.
Why is he working so hard?
Perhaps, his body is paining.
Who is he?
He is the son of my dad's friend. He is a show-off.
He has a good body.. - But a bad biodata.
Thanks, Banthi. - Let's go.
See you, Asha. - Yes, bye. - See you.
Give me a call. - Yes, I will.
Okay, bye. - Bye.. - Bye.
I have a doubt. - What is it?
Why did he come out and why did he go in?
Because of his attitude. Banthi!
If he wants to exercise, let him do it indoors.
Ask him not to show off when my friends are over.
Shall I tell him a bit strictly? - Very much.
You may relax. I will take care of him.
Yes? - What is that?
Don't you know? It's a refrigerator.
I didn't ask about that.
What is on that? - Socks.
Why is it on the refrigerator? - The clothesline was full.
So, will you throw your things around?
What is this? Why is this on the chair? What is this..
Shorts showing your thighs and vests showing your arms..
Are you showing off? I have been observing everything.
Why did you close the door? Are you worried about your dignity?
You should have thought about this earlier.
What? - Forethought.
Did I beat you?
Then why are you crying? - You might beat me.
Oh, my! - Why are you shouting now?
I may not be able to shout later.
What is your problem? The room is dirty, isn't it?
What's the problem? You can keep it any way you want.
Where should the shoes be? - On the stand.
Socks? - On the clothesline.
Underwear. - Anywhere.
You? - Under control.
Correct. You are a good guy, but slightly jumpy.
Now, I will go for a shower. In the meantime, you..
Tidy up the room. - Very good.
This is a belt. Hold it. It will remind you of me.
Oh, God.
Good.. Take it. - No, thank you.
This isn't for you. Fetch me two cigarettes.
Okay, sir. - What if someone comes to know about this?
You will kick me.
I will flay you alive. Go now.
Silly boy.
Checkmate.
Is this also for me?
Sign it and return it. - Oh, sorry.
Give it to me.
Thank you.
'To P. Srinivasa Murthy.'
'From C. Sekharam, Anakapalle.'
Who is this from Anakapalle? - The man in the outhouse.
Shall we open it?
It is bad manners to open others' letters.
I know, but I don't have manners. Come on.
Come.
Hurry up.
If my father comes to know about it, he will kill us.
Will we write a letter to inform him that we opened it?
Such a huge letter!
I pity him. It must have taken him a long time to write this.
'Dear Seenu.'
'This is your friend, Sekharam.'
'I hope everything is good.'
'Forgive me for not attending your daughter's engagement.'
'I had a lot of farm work, so I couldn't attend it.'
'I will surely attend the wedding.'
'Fearing a hefty phone bill, for Venkateshwarulu..'
Venkateshwarulu? - Venky.
'I couldn't tell you about Venkateshwarulu completely.'
'Hence, this letter.'
'He is my son, but you won't find another idiot like him.'
'I pampered him a lot as his mother died when he was four.'
'Later, I realised that I was wrong.'
'I think he was eight years old then.'
'One day..'
Have some coffee.
Thanks.
Your son is quite sharp.
He is just like his father.
He will surely grow up to be an engineer
and become our village's pride.
Venkateshwarulu. - Yes, Dad?
Come here.
My dear son..
What will you become when you grow up? A doctor or an engineer?
I will become a cycle mechanic.
'He has been surprising me since that day.'
'Slowly, I became accustomed to his antics.'
'But after a few days, one night..'
One can eat without a plate.
One can work without taking bribes.
But how can we light a cigarette without a matchbox?
By asking someone. - Really?
There. - Just a moment.
Mister, do you have a matchbox?
D-Dad, do you want it? Sorry.
Oh, my!
Read on.
'In between many such unfortunate incidents'
'his BA exams started.'
'I studied so hard for his examination..'
'If it were my examination, I would have become a collector.'
'The exams started. It was the History paper that day.'
'That subject is a big mystery for him.'
What is this?
Wow, she is writing well.
Did you get it? - Yes.
Give it to me. Hurry up.
Throw it.
'Even after this, I can't scold him'
'because he is my strength and weakness as well.'
'So, I hope he will become better if he stays away from me.'
'I wish for him to have a good job and be happy.'
'However, he wants to ride a tractor and do farming.'
'Teach him some computers and send him at least to Pakistan.'
'I will tell everyone that he is in a foreign country.'
'Please do this favour for me.'
'Bye. Yours, Sekharam.'
Come. - Where? - It is okay. - I said, no.
Come with me, Nandu.
Greetings. - Greetings.
Oh! Greetings.
Oh! So, you paint too. - Yes, sometimes.
The dog looks good, doesn't it?
That isn't a dog. It is a horse.
Horse? - Yes.
You don't know that some horses look like dogs.
We just came to know about you.
Until yesterday, we thought you were just a guest.
But my aunt said that you are the best in many things.
She is a great lady.
I am Pinky, 9th standard, Section A, Little Class Convent
West Marredpally, Secunderabad.
Don't you remember the PIN code?
She is Nandini. Everyone calls her Nandu.
Last year, she finished her B.Sc. She is getting married this year.
Hey! - What about the next year?
Enough about us. Tell us something about yourself.
I am Venky. - Is that your full name?
Yes, Pinky. Just Venky.
What are your ambitions?
I have had a dream since I was a kid.
A small dream.
After becoming an IAS officer
I would sit on the collector's chair in Visakhapatnam
and have a video conference with Mr. Chandrababu Naidu.
Then my dad would come for me
and the peon would say that I am busy.
While waiting for me, he would feel happy seeing me from the window.
Then by chance, I would look towards the window
and see my father there.
Then I would tell Chandrababu that my father is waiting for me
end the conference, and come running to him.
On seeing me, he would get up.
I would beg for his forgiveness for making him wait.
He would lift me up
with the feeling that a hen has on seeing its egg hatch
or with the feeling of a father when his son becomes worthy
he would say that he couldn't express his happiness
and hug me affectionately..
Sir.. - Who is it?
Mr. Murthy. - Has he come? - He is asking for you.
Coming.
Don't worry that I stopped narrating my dream in the middle.
I will continue later. Okay? - Fine..
Sir.
Come in.
Do you know what this is?
Is it a book?
A letter. - A letter?
Your father wrote it.
He felt that he didn't have enough financial means to extol you.
So, he wrote a letter.
What is your ambition?
IAS, IPS.. That isn't possible.
So, I will do some ordinary job.
Until now, I felt that my work would be over if I get you a job.
But after reading this letter, I changed my mind.
More than a job, you need discipline.
Yes, sir.
Don't act smart.
I am not as good as your father.
I know. I didn't mean that.
This behaviour is what you should control.
Go now.
What is your ambition? - I had a dream..
One can dream only if he sleeps a lot.
Don't disturb me.
When I was in the collector's office, my father would come..
Sorry. While playing video games with Sonia Gandhi..
Not a video game. It's video conferencing.
It's the same thing. What happens next, Venkateshwarulu?
Pinky, he is just Venky. - Oh! Sorry, Venky.
Why did you stop?
It's all right. Continue.
Is it wrong to dream of becoming a collector?
Can't I have dreams of my choice?
Yes, I lied to you.
It took me four years to pass my degree of BA.
Did you think why I took so long?
No, you won't think.
Ms. Nandini, have you ever cooked? Do you know where the kitchen is?
But for 20 years, I have cooked for my father.
My mother passed away when I was young.
In the mornings, I would prepare coffee, cook rice and curry
and go to school. After returning, I would cook again for dinner
and wash the dirty vessels.
So, I never got time to study
and so I couldn't become a collector.
This is not important for you.
You need someone like me to make fun of and laugh. Isn't it?
You can laugh.
If you feel that you can laugh on seeing me cry
then I will come here every day and cry for an hour.
You can laugh. Laugh well.
One day, you will become a collector..
Why is he so emotional? Silly boy.
Hello. - It is me.
How are you, dear? - Are you crazy?
You wrote a book about me as if I was Mahatma Gandhi.
No, dear.. - Don't interrupt me.
Did you have to tell him about you helping me with my BA exams?
Can't a father help his son for that?
Did he scold you?
The girls insulted me.
Shall I write another letter saying it was all a lie?
Then I will become a complete idiot.
Dad, if you have a lot of time to spare, write a novel
but don't write such a letter. That's it. Bye.
Venky.. I am sorry. We teased you a lot, didn't we?
Everyone in this society looks down on a motherless child.
I am really sorry. - That's fine.
It is okay.
Good morning, Pinky.
Oh! She is serious.
What does Pinky have in the morning?
Pinky is a 'Complan' girl. - "I am a growing girl, Mom."
Why is she looking at us like that? - She can't see properly.
If you are hungry, eat chocolates, not nails.
It is a bad habit, you know.
Are you getting angry? - Yes.
If you are angry with someone, you must not cry.
You must go to him, hold your fist like this
and punch him just below the ribs. He will surely need an ambulance.
Shall I really punch him?
Go ahead. I will take care of the rest.
What is it?
He is done for.
Yes!
Okay.. Pinky. - Yes.
Bye. - Okay, bye.
Thank you, Venky. - Bye..
Oh, sorry.
Oh, are you praying? - You can start eating.
Okay.
Don't you pray before eating?
I perform a ritual.
A ritual? Learn from him.
Then do it.
I have already done it at home.
Do it again. - It will take time, sir.
That's fine. We will wait.
Isn't there a way out? - Don't you know it?
Oh, God. Oh, good God.
You have given us lentils with spinach
potato fry
and soup too.
Provide the same for all the..
Provide it to the seven crore people in our state.
Provide the same for all the 90 crore people in our country.
Provide the same for all the..
I don't know the number properly.
I hope that You will provide the same for everyone.
I mean not the same food that we are having
but whatever they eat. For example, bread, butter and jam.
I hope that You will give them the same.
You will give it to them. I know.
It's because.. Basically, You are God.
You are a very good God.
That's it.
That's all.
You may have felt that my prayers were new.
It wasn't new, but bad!
This isn't new for us, Venky.
He writes the same type of poems. - Hey..
But you write it for God and he writes it for his mother.
Really?
Why are you bringing it up?
I like mothers and poems a lot, sir.
He has written a new poem recently.
We heard that yesterday, Mom.
You heard it. Venky should also hear it.
Please, sir.
Venky, you are forcing me. It is okay.
Oh, God.
'Mom..'
'Without asking, you gave birth to me.'
'When I cried, you gave me milk.'
'When it rained, you gave me an umbrella.'
'You gave me toys to play with.'
'You gave me money to use.'
'You gave me clothes to wear.'
'You gave me a mirror to look at myself.'
'Mom..'
'You gave me a notebook to write.'
'You gave me a beard to shave.'
'That's why.. That's why I like you.'
'But why did you die so early?'
'Still.. Still, I like you.'
'I like you, Mom..'
There is a lot of information in your poem, sir.
Thank you.
Sorry, I became emotional.
Please carry on.
Yes. - Mom..
Pass me some rice.
Hello. - It is me, Asha, from the hostel.
Hi, happy birthday. - Thanks.
What is your sister doing? - She is washing in the bathroom.
Are you coming to the party?
Why me? - Why?
You will be sorry that all the boys are only looking at me.
Say something that suits your age. Hang up now.
Nandu. - What?
I will talk once you wear something.
Tell me.
Asha had called. What shall we present her?
What do you think?
Shall we gift her a gold ring?
Ring! She gave me small chocolate and ate a full-course meal.
Okay, how about a rose?
It will be too odd.
A bouquet? - Okay.
But who will get it for us?
Outhouse? - Okay.
Venky. - What is it, Pinky?
Do you want some coffee? - What do you want?
Can you get me a bouquet?
Is it for you? - No, it's for my sister.
One must wash her own clothes and buy her own bouquet. Sorry.
He said one must buy her own bouquet.
Say that we will pay him.
She said that she will pay you.
Money cannot buy me.
He says you can't buy him with money.
Tell him it is enough if he buys the bouquet.
Buy the bouquet.. - I heard that.
Please, Venky. We are getting late for the party.
If not for her, get it for Asha. - Asha?
The girl who visited us the other day. Did you forget her?
No one can ever forget her.
Today is her birthday.
You should have said this earlier.
Where is the party? - At the Green Park Hotel.
Pinky.. You don't have to plead with him so much.
Let's get it ourselves. - He said he would get one.
What happened?
Your sister's hairstyle made me nauseous.
Why did she tie it up?
It would look better if she lets her hair down.
Shut up. Mind your business.
Come. - That was just a friendly advice.
Why hasn't Venky come yet?
Why did you ask him to come here? - What's wrong?
We couldn't stop him when he saw a single girl.
Think of what will happen if he sees so many girls at once.
Here. I look handsome. Okay.
Look how he has dressed up.
Why are you late? - The coat.
I couldn't get the coat back from the laundry on time.
I want to look good at the party.
Hey! You look good now. Let's go.
Where to? - Inside.
You can leave. - I will wish Asha and leave.
We will wish her on your behalf. You can go.
She may feel bad if I don't meet her.
She won't be bothered. I know her.
Why don't you confirm it?
Enough. When she was visiting us, we had enough of your antics.
What did I do?
Do you think we didn't notice you showing off your body to her?
Me? Showing off?
Do you think your friend is a great beauty?
If I want, I can make that girl come after me.
You can't do that. - Do you want to bet? - Yes.
Hi, Nandu. Hi, Pinky. - Hi. Asha.. - Hi.
Why are you late? - Many happy returns of the day..
Thank you. Come in. The party has started.
Hi, girls. Are you enjoying the party?
Hi. - Hi..
Why are you not eating anything?
Please have it.
Excuse me.
Hi. - Hi.
Hi! - Hi.
One minute.
Excuse me. What is your problem?
I have been observing you since you arrived.
Why are you avoiding me like I am your enemy?
Look, I don't know you.
I didn't even invite you to the party. Yet, you are here.
Okay. As you are my guest, when I am trying to talk to you
why are you avoiding me?
Why do you walk away when I sit next to you?
What do you think of yourself?
I have the courage to say it. But can you bear to hear it?
I don't know how to talk in a polished way.
I talk frankly.
I fell in love with you at first sight.
Do you know why I came to the party when I wasn't invited?
I came here to see you even if it was from a distance.
Do you know why I walked away when you sat next to me?
Because I wasn't worthy enough to sit next to you.
I am unable to control myself.
I feel intoxicated when I see you standing so close to me.
So out of fear, I came here.
Please don't look at me like that.
I can't bear it. I can't.
Many happy returns of the day.
Excuse me. - Yes?
Thank you. - It is okay.
"The divine star shining in the blue sky"
"I have waited many births to unite with you"
"Your divine beauty is my long cherished dream"
"A billion melodies play in my heart"
"Oh, my dear, is this true?"
"Is our introduction a blessing?"
"This is the song that shows the feeling of my heart"
"A sweet feeling of the first love"
"How can one know which rain drop will become a pearl?"
"How can one know which friendship will blossom into love?"
"Who knows what feelings may arise in my heart with your look!"
"What will I do when your warm breath touches me"
"How can I tell the number of births"
"taken for our love to blossom now?"
"How can I reveal the number of eyes that are seeing red now?"
"Oh, my dear, be gracious unto me"
"please look at me once, dear moon light"
"and my birth will be a blessed one"
"Are you a flower that has gently blossomed in the cool moon light?"
"Are you the crescent moon dancing amongst the clouds?"
"You smile delicately, your waist is a tender petal"
"Your beauty is beyond words!"
"Your voice sweet as the cuckoo's, you walk like a gracious deer"
"I chant your name like the root word of sensuality"
"I shall worship the steps you take to reach me"
"Oh, my dear, say yes"
"Can't you sense the pain in your lover's heart?"
"Please accept my love"
"The divine star shining in the blue sky"
"I have waited many births to unite with you"
"Your divine beauty is my long cherished dream"
"A billion melodies play in my heart"
What are you doing here?
Asha is searching for you inside. - Why?
Her father is on the phone and wants to talk to you.
Me? What does he want me for?
He may talk about your wedding or honeymoon. I can't say.
Don't frighten me. It was a casual wager
so don't destroy my life because of it.
It may be a casual affair for you but Asha is very emotional.
If she doesn't get what she wants, she may slash her veins
or consume poison.
Why didn't you tell me earlier that she has such hobbies?
Venky, Asha is waiting for you.
Tell her that I have left.
What shall I tell Asha? - Tell her anything.
What is it?
Tell her that I am married and have two kids too. Bye.
Mummy..
I have been shouting. Can't you hear me?
What are you doing inside? Cooking for your husband?
Hey, Nandu!
You've lost all sense of discipline, Lakshmi.
I came back home late from the party last night.
Don't you have the sense to serve me a bed coffee?
Don't you care about anyone, except for your husband?
Anyway, I should blame your husband, not you.
He pesters us with his silly rules and regulations.
What is it, Uncle? Aren't you feeling well?
I am a bit tense.
There is whiskey in my dad's room. Have a sip, you will feel relaxed.
What is it? You..
I thought you had left for office..
Sorry, dear. The accountant was here to discuss something.
I will leave on time from tomorrow.
Why are you still standing here? Won't you give her a bed coffee?
Sorry, Daddy.
Shut up.
You get up at 10 a.m. and sit here reading the newspaper.
What did you say?
Your mom doesn't have discipline? What about you?
If you get up so late every day after you get married
they will blame us, not you.
She tells my brother to have the whiskey in my room.
I won't have any random brand of drink, Brother.
At least learn from Pinky. She was with you at the party.
Yet she has left for school.
Aunt.. Complan.
Oh, God!
She is laughing now!
If you go for a party again, I will lock you up in a room.
Brother! Why is everyone so serious?
I would've picked you up from the station if you'd informed me.
This was an unexpected trip.
I wanted to surprise all of you.
Keep it inside. Come in.
Hi, Nandu! How is Mr. America?
I won't talk to you.
Oh! You are angry? - No. That's happiness.
Sister-in-law!
We were eagerly expecting you for her engagement.
You are the only sister he has.
We feel so bad when you don't attend our family celebrations.
I tried to attend but my mother-in-law wasn't keeping well.
There was no one else to take care of her.
If you don't mind, I have a suggestion for you.
Let her be in the hospital permanently.
The new doctors can be trained well.
Brother! - Hold it.
She just arrived.
Get her a glass of water or a cup of coffee.
I will get it. Are you the only one with a sister?
What is it?
Sorry, I couldn't come.
You don't have to give me an explanation.
I know you are feeling bad for not being here that day.
Your husband's family may need you there
but your presence here brings us joy and happiness.
A great joy.
What are you reading?
Is this book more important than me?
Was your mother-in-law more important than me?
Come on..
I am very angry with you.
I was so disappointed, you know.
Now you want me to talk to you?
You always have been my favourite aunt since I was kid.
That's why you take me for granted.
Aunt, did I hurt you?
No, I have hurt all of you.
You don't know yet. Things change once you get married.
You don't know.
You would need permission to visit your parents.
You would have to give reasons.
Sometimes it pains me
that there are so many restrictions to meet my dear ones.
Aunt, doesn't your husband care about you?
No, that's not how it is.
He isn't a bad man
but he isn't a good man either.
He is my husband. That's it.
In all these years that we have been married
he has never asked if I had eaten.
Can you believe it?
Why didn't you ever tell us this?
My problems aren't severe enough to tell someone
but aren't small enough to be forgotten.
I don't understand something.
When a girl needs to go out
people send at least a little boy to accompany her.
If we want to go to the movies, they prefer we go with known people.
If we are studying in another city
they prefer we live with someone we know
instead of a hostel.
So, our elders, who want us to be with people we know
spend a small fortune to get us married
to a total stranger.
Once a woman takes a few steps with that person
she would find that she has gone very far from her dear ones.
From that day, she would lose her right to dream.
She would only be useful to bear and rear children.
Once married, a woman changes her house
changes her place, changes her surname
but her heart doesn't change.
Why doesn't my desire to see my brother wither?
Why can't I stop yearning to be with my sister-in-law?
The toys we play with, the plants we sow
the conversation we have with our dear ones. Those memories..
Why should they trouble us?
Why should they make us cry?
Why should one marry?
Why should we be born as females?
Sir.
Coffee, sir.
Do you think you are a beauty queen?
Don't ruin my day. Keep it there.
Please make way, sir.
Are you paying a morning visit to that guy?
It is a sentiment.
He thinks he will have a nice day if I'm the first person he sees.
I too have a sentiment.
If I see a jackass, I don't make way for him.
But I do.
Aunt, did you love someone?
Don't you have anything better to ask?
I am asking you seriously.
I saw that smile. Who was that?
I never knew his name.
He used to be at the corner of my street when I left for college.
What would he do?
He would just smile at me.
Is that all?
It took him a year to just smile at me.
What happened next?
My marriage was fixed. He got the news.
I never saw him again.
He was a good guy.
A coward. He couldn't dare to ask for your hand in marriage.
If that had happened, there would have been a lot of problems.
What makes you say so? You should have told someone about him.
Are you teasing me for not doing so?
No. What I am saying is
if I had liked a guy, I would have told my dad.
You don't have that opportunity now.
Who is he?
He is Venky, a wastrel from Anakapalle.
His dad sent him here as this guy is unbearable.
A wastrel?
How could she call me that?
How dare she!
It may be true, but why does she have to tell her aunt?
Do you think your sister is a good girl?
On the day of her engagement, she was touching the groom.
Did I say that to anyone?
Oh, sorry. Here you go.
When your aunt asked about me
she could have said that I am a good guy
who just smokes and drinks on occasion.
Why didn't she say that I have good qualities?
This is just snobbery.
We can also call it haughtiness.
Venky doesn't tolerate such behaviour.
I won't reveal how I will exact revenge on your sister
because I haven't thought of it yet.
I am basically a villain. I don't like heroines. Yes.
Hello. - Hello. Is it Nandini?
Yes. Who are you?
I'm Prasad
speaking from a phone booth next to the White House.
From America?
Yeah!
I am sorry. I didn't recognise you.
That's okay.
I just came out to take a leak, and I remembered you.
On the day of our engagement, there was a guy.
He was tall, handsome.. - Venky?
Yes.. Venky. Right. He is from Anakapalle, isn't he?
Yes.
I came to know a lot about him. - What's it?
He is a great fellow.
Venky sold some of his property to help my friend come to America.
He even bade him goodbye at the airport.
How sweet of him. He is such a good guy.
My friend garlands Venky's photo and says a prayer everyday
you know?
Usually, we garland the photos of dead people.
No.. I mean, Venky is like a god to my friend.
Oh, is it?
He is really like a god for him. - I see.
What a great fellow.
There are very few people like him.
Only one in a million. What a great fellow!
Nice fellow. You don't know about him.
He is a great fellow, but doesn't realise it.
I want to fall at his feet and seek his blessings.
You should do that, too.
You will be blessed with good children.
Every day, wish him good morning and good night.
Understand?
Daddy, I will call you tomorrow morning.
Okay? Okay.
Are you here for the phone? Take it.
Aren't you ashamed? Darn it!
Aren't you ashamed to talk like this with a girl?
There is a limit for your pranks but you don't know that.
You don't know anything.
I should blame my dad
for letting you be here.
I mean.. - If you speak, I will kick you.
I will kill you. I hate you.
That's all right. I will get those.
Thank you. Let me take the bag.
I have carried heavier bags. These bags aren't a problem.
If you don't mind, can I tell you something?
Yes, please.
Don't smoke too much. You will ruin your health.
I am not addicted to it. I smoke rarely.
Don't mind her accusations. She doesn't approve of anything I do.
What did he say? - Nothing.
Why are you trying to protect him? Tell me.
Didn't I just tell you?
If you have the guts, talk to me.
Oh, my God! I'm frightened.
If you tease me, I will break your teeth.
Nandu, how can you be so rude?
Yes, teach her some manners.
Don't talk about manners!
Yesterday, he called me posing as my fiancee and tried to prank me.
Yes, I did. Ask her why I did so. She won't tell you the reason.
You are older than us. What did she tell you about me?
Go ahead. I won't mind. - Why talk about that now?
She called me useless
and said that my dad sent me away as he couldn't bear me.
And that I am living at her mercy.
I didn't say that.
You don't have to say that. You express it through your eyes.
Talking to you is a waste of time. You are mannerless.
It is you who doesn't have manners.
If you had manners, you wouldn't read others' letters.
Are you any better?
Didn't you put on airs
saying that you want to become a collector?
What? Did I put on airs?
Ma'am, don't believe her.
Aunt, do you know his real name? - Don't talk about personal affairs.
It is Venkateshwarulu. - It is a sin to make fun of God's name.
Don't think that I am a bad guy because I smoked.
He is a bad guy.
I'll call you when you reach your place. Don't mind these things.
No one is bothered about you.
You have spoiled my mood.
You talk about mood? You always keep sulking.
You.. - What will you do?
If you continue to annoy me, you will repent.
Ticket, please. - Didn't she give you?
This is her ticket.
Nandu, what about my ticket?
Who are you?
Hey! We can settle our scores some other time..
Settle your scores later. Show me your ticket.
Both of us came together. We came here to drop her aunt.
You can cook up stories later on.
Now, show me your ticket.
I am telling the truth. - That you don't have a ticket?
It is either 6 months in prison or Rs. 500 fine.
Will you spare me if I pay you? - Hear me out.
Sometimes you may have to pay the fine and also face prison.
Sir, I only have Rs. 100.
You don't have to pay now. You can pay it in court.
Sir..
He took a bribe to let me off the hook.
Bugger.
Ma'am, buy your ticket.
Move.
Do you think an entire family can go in with a single ticket?
You must buy a ticket for every person.
We don't have these in Anakapalle. You should have known better.
What is this? - Your platform ticket. - My ticket!
Okay.. I will also get a chance. I will catch you. Wait.
Yeah..
Just a minute. Venky..
You have an interview in my friend's company on Monday.
Be ready. - Okay, sir.
Yes, Mr. Sharma. Yeah..
Venky..
Good night.
I can't understand her.
"I want only you.." - Banthi!
Yes? - Here you go.
Why did you wash it? I would have done it.
I didn't wash it. I just ate from it. Wash it.
Why should I wash it? Waste of soap and water.
Mr. Murthy!
Did you see that?
You called out one name but three people came out.
This is manners.
But the one whom we wanted didn't come.
That's manners, too.
Isn't Mr. Murthy here?
Mr. Murthy and his brother have gone for a house warming ceremony.
May I know who you are?
We are the groom's relatives. - How so?
You know the groom's father. He has a father.
He also has a father.
Fortunately, his father also has a father.
His father's father
and their father's father are cousins.
Is it?
He is fortunate that he has a wife, and she is my sister.
Unfortunately, I am his brother-in-law.
But you didn't tell us how you are related to the groom.
So, you didn't understand it.
The groom's father.. - Please be brief.
I am his paternal uncle and he is maternal uncle.
For the bride, it is the opposite.
Okay, did you understand that?
The girl seems to be too young.
The groom liked her anyway.
What are you studying? - Ninth grade.
Will you quit studies after you get married?
Why should I quit studying if she gets married?
Sir, this girl is the bride. Not that girl.
You look like Madhuri Dixit.
He thinks it will be old fashioned to call you Maha Lakshmi.
Clever fellow!
Here you go. Keep it inside. - What are these?
Corn cobs. Store these carefully.
Venky.
Why did all of them walk away?
That's manners. They didn't want to disturb us elders.
Oh, God! They probably won't leave till they have lunch.
We have finished lunch and there's no food left.
I don't know how to cook.
Venky cooked for his dad since he was a boy.
I was just kidding.
Actually, my father used to cook for me.
What do we do now?
Make way..
After drinking so much juice, they won't need lunch.
Thank you, Venky. - It is okay.
Have these. - Why did you take the trouble?
Manners! Rich people have it to improve hunger.
So, are we having our lunch here? - You want to eat at a restaurant?
Her father will feel bad if we don't have lunch.
It's an embarrassment.
What do you say? - Yes.
But how can we trouble them at this odd hour?
She seems talented enough to cook for the whole party.
Cooking for two people would be a walk in the park for her.
Don't worry too much about the lunch.
Just keep it simple.
I'm not asking for a five-course meal.
A curry and a vegetable fry will do.
Don't use onions. He suffers from gas and bloating.
But he loves fried vegetables.
You too don't eat without poppadoms.
Does one need to mention it separately?
She knows how to prepare a proper meal.
Oh, yes! They will feel bad if we don't have any meat.
I'm sure that she will cook some meat.
Prepare rasam too. He suffers from indigestion.
What? Don't you have kidney stones?
What do you want us to do for that?
That needs to be operated.
Serve us a glass of juice after we finish our lunch.
Oh, no! That's a big menu! What do we do?
Light the stove now.
Keep sprinkling some water every few minutes.
Give me your watch!
Whoever marries you will be doomed.
Are you leaving me all alone?
Don't be so melodramatic. I will be back in a moment.
Banthi...
I want you to get some lunch from a restaurant.
Didn't you just finish your lunch? - What?
When do you want it?
Hey! - Yes.
Aren't they preparing any non-veg items?
I don't smell any spices.
What? - They say that they don't smell any spices.
Move aside. - What are you searching for?
Yes. This is the one. - It is used to kill cockroach.
I know that. Cut it.
Hold it. Now see.
Are you getting the exciting flavour of spices?
You senseless fool!
We are getting late.
Here you go.
What's that?
Everything is hot. Serve it. Come on.
Wait.. One second.
Let's make it more convincing.
Slight adjustment here. Okay.
Now it looks like you have done all the cooking.
Brother-in-law, our boy is lucky.
Not everyone is like your sister. - Right, sir.
If we can get betel leaves after having such a meal..
Here you go.
Did you prepare these too?
You don't have to order it separately.
If you order a meal, betel leaves are free.
He meant that it's customary to provide these after lunch.
Okay, dear. See you.
Convey my regards to your dad.
Bye, son. - Okay.
Tell your dad not to feel bad as we didn't attend the engagement.
We can attend the wedding. They will excuse us.
Let's go, we'll be late for the bus.
Bye, dear.
Thank you, Venky.
I would have been in a big trouble if it wasn't for you.
You don't have to fall at my feet for that.
It is okay. Go and take rest. - What about you?
I need to have a chat about the betel leaves with him.
Go now.
Sir. - What did you say about the betel leaves?
Sir, please.. - Come with me.
Good morning. - Good morning.
Did you get up just now? - Yes.
One should be fortunate to be able to sleep for long hours.
Where are you going? - To the interview.
Venky, best of luck.
Thank you.
Hey! What are you doing? Watering the plants or my cards?
You play cards at club every day. Why do you play at home?
Silly boy! Can Karnam Malleswari afford to stop lifting weights
because the Olympics are held only once in four years?
Can Sachin Tendulkar stop net practice when there's no match?
It's the same here.
If I stop playing at other times just because I play in the club
then my hand will become dull!
Venky, what happened?
How did your interview go?
I think they kicked him out.
The golden days of my life have come to an end.
I have got the job.
Hey, when are you throwing a party? - For what?
You got a job. - So?
You get a salary.
You can have the job and the salary.
Don't you like to work?
I don't like to do a job.
I know. Your dad said that in the letter.
Please, for the last time, don't talk about the letter.
Your dad wants you to go and work abroad.
Whereas you want to work on a farm.
What's wrong in it? - It is wrong.
Did your father educate you to work in a farm in Anakapalle?
So, since he gave me an education
am I supposed to send him money from abroad
and settle the accounts?
Is this a business?
Now if I work in the U.S. and buy a car
I can send my dad a picture of me standing next to the car.
But can I drive my dad around in that car? No.
But if I work in my farm, I can take him around on my scooter.
I am happy with that.
If my dad is sick when I'm away, I can only ask him to take medicine.
I prefer to give him the medicine myself and take care of him.
You may not be aware that my mother expired when I was four.
Despite many people advising him, he never married again.
That is because of me.
He never lets me miss my mother.
Do you think it is justifiable to leave such a man behind?
I can spend time with my friends, watch movies and so on.
But my father doesn't care about anything else but me.
He always thinks about me and my future.
But if I leave him alone, what will happen to him?
The house I was brought up in, the village I lived in
my father and the friends who love me.
What will I gain by going away from all of them?
I am happy with my farm and the tractor.
I can toil on my land all day
have a smoke with my friends in the evening
and go to bed after a movie.
Let me tell you something. People who feel happy when we win
and people who encourage us when we fail are the most important.
If we don't have them, all the money we earn is useless.
Good night.
"My eyes always look for you and drive me towards you."
"Why is this happening to me? My heart has the answer."
"My heart says you are inside it"
"And it wants to tell you the same."
"My eyes always look for you and drive me towards you."
"Why is this happening to me? My heart has the answer."
"My heart says you are inside it"
"And it wants to tell you the same."
"Every moment I think of you is oddly sweet."
"I am afraid of what will happen as my heart doesn't listen to me."
"I will keep you in my heart."
"We shall walk hand in hand if we are together"
"My heart says you are inside it"
"And it wants to tell you the same."
"My eyes always look for you and drive me towards you."
"Why is this happening to me? My heart has the answer."
"My heart says you are inside it"
"And it wants to tell you the same."
"How can I ask for your friendship as my lips are sealed?"
"How can we erase the distance between us?"
"This yearning for each other is painful yet sweet."
"Even the day will become night"
"if you are with me."
"My heart says you are inside it"
"and it wants to tell you the same."
"My eyes always look for you and drive me towards you."
"Why is this happening to me? My heart has the answer."
"My heart says you are inside it"
"and it wants to tell you the same."
Get up and get ready.
We need to go to the temple. Today is a Friday.
You don't have to close the curtains to sleep.
Please perform the puja.
What's your choice, 'Ashtothram' or 'Sahasranamam'?
Which one takes more time? - Stop it.
'Sahasranamam' - All right.
What are you doing here?
I am praying to the temple tower that you should be happily married.
Don't lie. Can't you stop being mischievous?
What did I do now? - Don't feign innocence.
Weren't you eyeing that girl all this time?
You are right. That silly girl hasn't realised it yet.
Can't you help me out? - You can never be set right.
What to do? Your dad can get you a groom from America or Australia.
But what about me?
Fathers of many young women don't visit us anymore
lest my dad proposes a marital alliance for me.
Look here. I'm going bald and I am getting old.
I have my own set of worries!
Why are you staring at him?
Why are you bothered if I'm seeing someone?
I like you.
Don't joke around.
Can't you understand when I say it once?
I like you and if you look at any other girl
I will kill you. Understand?
'I tolerated losing money and even endured losing your mom'
'but I can't bear losing his friendship.'
'I won't mind if you don't improve but don't ruin our friendship.'
Sir!
I didn't come here to know the reason why you left our house.
I didn't come here to give you a send-off either.
I am coming to Anakapalle.
Not to complain about you, but to ask for your dad's forgiveness.
I won't bother you. I will be in another compartment.
Your father used to buy two pairs of clothes for every festival.
One for him and one for me.
Every year, he bought two sets of books.
One set for each of us.
He used to share all his happy moments with me
but never his troubles.
When your mother died, I was in America.
He didn't inform me
as he didn't want me to return without completing my work.
Everyone trusts a man after he becomes successful.
But when I was a nobody
your dad was the only one who believed that I would succeed.
Throughout our friendship, I have been getting help from him
he never asked me for anything in return.
Now, he has asked me for a favour. He wants me to find you a job.
Considering all that he's done for me
getting you a job is no big deal.
And I couldn't do it.
Whether you don't like the job or you don't like my family..
I won't bother you with such questions.
That's not the issue. - Then why are you leaving?
I wanted to see my dad.
If you go back like this, how can I face your father again?
I didn't think about it.
If you have a problem, you may leave.
I'll apologise to your dad.
I never want you both to apologise to each other
and I must never be the reason for that.
Come on. Let's go back.
Venky, Sekharam's son is not my guest
but a family member. Don't forget that.
Let's go.
Go have your lunch. - Okay.
I hope you didn't eat any junk food outside.
No, I didn't.
Venky, give me a minute. I will serve you food.
I'm sorry. - What for?
I left without informing you.
Come on. Consider this your own house.
You can come and go as you wish.
My husband is stickler for rules and discipline.
Don't worry about those. You can be here as you wish.
Venky, did my husband trouble you? - No..
I wanted to see my father. That's all.
You could have informed us.
I thought you wouldn't let me go.
Do you think this is a prison?
Why would I think so?
Do you think it is a hostel?
What is this, man? You talked about
making all wedding preparations by ourselves.
And now you are looking to run away?
Shut it! You must have pestered him with your nonsense.
That's why he got intimidated and tried to leave.
One must be crazy to think that he's intimidated.
Don't mind his antics. Go to your room.
I will send your lunch.
Who's going to take it to him? - Not you. Banthi will do it.
Thanks for the confirmation, or else I will be troubled.
Nandu..
Nandu.. Please.
Listen to me. Nandu, please.
Okay.
"Enjoy this life, buddy"
"This is what you were born for.."
"You were born to enjoy these comforts."
I feel so sad, you know. - Because I have returned?
Yes, sir.. No, sir. It's because you left.
Banthi! - Do you want anything?
A little peace of mind. - I am leaving right away.
Sir, here you go.
What's this? - Lunch box.
The box is here. Where is the lunch?
It is inside.
You feel drowsy if you eat too much.
I might faint if eat so less.
All these days, you were jobless.
Now that you will be working, you won't be so hungry.
Is it? - Yes.
Good morning, Nandu.
Hey! Nandu! Please.
Okay.
Bye, Nandu.
Place it properly.
Careful.
What are you doing? Do it properly.
I am doing it properly. - Properly my foot.
Both hands should be parallel to the floor.
How? - Parallel to the floor.
How do you do that? - Like this.
Do it yourself! - How?
Parallel to the floor.
Do I have to call my wife for this?
Nandu! - What is it, Uncle?
Come here.
Come on. All these tall people are haughty.
Be it Banthi, be it my wife..
Place this garland and prove that we are not dependant on them.
Take this. - Please, Uncle. - Come on.
Get on this. I'll make sure that no one enters.
Place the garland with full attention. Come on.
Okay. - Climb.
Climb. Do it.
That's it. Do it.
This holy work will not stop just because some idiot won't help us.
You can't block the sun with the palm of your hand.
You can't face a violent storm with a plastic umbrella.
Sir. - Come in.
Careful..
Who is the idiot that told you to come in? - It was you.
I didn't mean it.
By the way, where is my mom? - There she is.
Mom.
Nothing happened. Only the glass broke.
Look. - Oh, my God!
Mom! What happened to your eyes?
Mr. Murthy will be back soon. - Hey!
If Uncle sees this.. - Your dad won't be alive.
Are you here to work or to pester me?
You stand near the gate. Inform me as soon as you see his car.
Look. - What is this?
My mother. - Why is she like this? - Her eyes are gone.
It's been 15 years since she died. Why would her eyes be still here?
Shut up!
You are an artist, right?
Draw my mother's picture and help me out.
Please be more specific.
You didn't understand? You have to draw her eyes
or my brother will kill me.
I saw her photo only once. I don't remember her face properly.
How can I paint her eyes?
Take my advice, pack your bags and get going.
Will you please shut up?
If you see those eyes, can you draw it?
No problem. - Hold this.
Everyone says that she's got my mother's eyes.
See her eyes and draw it.
How can I do that now? - Please don't argue.
Please. This is a matter of life and death for me.
Okay.
Be careful. It shouldn't look like it has been painted.
Then make him stop it.
Good. Excellent.
He's done an excellent job.
Why is she so snobbish?
Why does she stare at me as if I'm a criminal?
I restrained myself. If it were someone else in my place..
What can anyone do about that? Those eyes are so bewitching.
Such dangerous eyes. A small mistake, and I will be doomed.
I don't have to worry. I have a heart of steel that won't melt.
This is nothing new to me.
To speak the truth, those eyes..
The lesser I talk about those, the better it is.
She might think that I opened the curtains to look at her.
I didn't open the curtains for you.
I did it because it's hot in here.
What's happening to me? Why am I tempted by those eyes?
I don't like your eyes. Don't like them!
"You don't let me speak, you don't let me remain silent."
"What shall I do?"
"You can't leave me, you can't hide from me"
"What shall I do?"
"To think of it is wrong, hiding it only invites trouble."
"The heart doesn't listen to us."
"Don't be so adamant."
"Why are you so afraid?"
"You don't let me speak, you don't let me remain silent."
"What shall I do?"
"You can't leave me, you can't hide from me"
"What shall I do?"
"Don't keep coming after me naughtily"
"You don't leave me alone even in my dreams."
"You're the one who has shown me the fun in pestering you"
"Now you can't get away from me"
"When I run into you everywhere"
"I can't think of a way out."
"You are not taking a decision about us."
"Your smile invites me everywhere"
"You can't leave me, you can't hide from me"
"What shall I do?"
"You don't let me speak, you don't let me remain silent."
"What shall I do?"
"Don't keep looking at me so innocently"
"Don't entangle me in your web so sweetly."
"My beautiful braid won't become a noose around you"
"Why are you terrified to see it?"
"Don't make me forget myself."
"Why do you stay away and suppress your feelings?"
"What else can I do? How can I deal with you?"
"You can't leave me, you can't hide from me"
"What shall I do?"
"You don't let me speak, you don't let me remain silent."
"What shall I do?"
"To think of it is wrong, hiding it only invites trouble."
"The heart doesn't listen to us."
"Don't be so adamant."
"Why are you so afraid?"
"You don't let me speak, you don't let me remain silent."
"What shall I do?"
"You can't leave me, you can't hide from me"
"What shall I do?"
You are done for the day. Don't you want to go home?
I am scared to go home.
Did you unfortunately get married?
Bye, sir.
Good evening. - Good evening.
Are you done with your work? - Yes.
How are your colleagues? - One girl is beautiful.
I'm an idiot. Why can't I keep my tongue in check?
Venky. - Yes?
I have a board meeting. Take Nandu home.
Daddy..
Do you have any meetings? - No. I don't.
Good.
Shall we have coffee?
I was working the whole day. And you have been shopping.
Why don't we have coffee and relax?
Nandu, please.
Thank you.
Come. Please. Sit down.
Why have only coffee? Two plates of sambar and idly.
The sambar should be hot. - It may take some time.
That's fine. We will wait. - It is not about serving it.
It may take time for you to eat such hot sambar.
We will blow it, cool it and then eat it.
Go now. - All right.
Nandu, this is a nice restaurant.
Chairs, tables, spoons.. Wow, forks too!
Of course, all restaurants have these things.
Were you shopping for jewellery? Let me see.
What is this? Do you think I am a thief trying to steal it?
What's my fault? Tell me.
I have been observing you since returning from railway station.
Closing door on the face, pouring water on me.
I have been noting down everything in the diary.
Every dog has its day. I too know that!
I will have my day, too. I am sure.
I'll deal with you then.
Why do we have to fight?
In a month, you will get married and leave for America.
Unable to bear me, my boss will kick me out.
Then, we will be living our separate lives.
So, why fight in the short time we've got?
Let's be happy as before.
If you don't like to see me in the morning, sleep till 10 a.m.
I will leave by 9 p.m. Do you like this peace treaty?
Let's shake our hands if you are okay.
One shakes hand with hands, not with forks.
Did you eat the plate too?
Was it hot? - Very much. It is scalding.
Dear. - Yes?
The bill? - Get some clothes.
For me? - No, for me.
Size? - Don't ask. Get it.
What are you looking at? It's just sambar.
What are you staring at? Check the meter.
Here you go. Stop staring.
Hello, who is it? - It's me. Your boyfriend.
You! I was just checking your wedding invitation.
How do you like the card? - How do you like the groom?
He isn't a stunning bloke, but he looks okay.
You must attend the wedding. Inform Pinky too. - Asha.
Don't give it a miss saying it is too far. Okay?
No.. Listen. - Okay. Bye, darling. Bye.
Asha!
Asha is getting married.
When? - The day after tomorrow.
Good. You can attend.
Will my dad agree? - Why not? Tell him you have my permission.
Won't you tell him?
I am busy. - Why don't you say you are afraid?
Uncle, I want to talk something important with you. - Tell me.
Nandu's friend is getting married the day after tomorrow. - Good.
Both of us want to attend it.
That's not necessary. Send a greeting card.
If I don't attend anyone's wedding
then no one would attend my wedding.
Even my wife doesn't talk to me so boldly, how can you?
You keep pampering her a lot, and look how she is talking back.
Don't yell at her.
Oh! So, I need your permission to scold my wife.
You.. - Uncle, please allow us to attend.
Won't she get married if you don't attend it?
Asha will get married but she will feel bad.
Okay. I'll book the train tickets.
We don't want to go by train. We will take your car.
Car? I have a lot of work here.
You don't have to come. Just lend us the car.
I'm sure this little devil will elope with someone.
Let them go. - How can I send these girls without an escort?
Your brother can go along. - Daddy? No.
Okay. Ask Venky to go along with you.
Thank you, Uncle.
What's wrong with your face?
Oh, God! Stop it. I can't bear that smile.
What do you want me to do?
Pinky, why throw stones in the sewage? It will dirty our clothes.
So, when you throw stones in the sewage
you remove your clothes first. Am I right?
Look ahead.
Venky!
Be careful. I am scared.
If you are scared, just close your eyes like I do.
Thank God we reached safely.
Hi.. - Hi, Nandu..
Bad! - Who are you?
Do you have any urgent work? - No.
Sit here. Come on. Come. Please sit.
I don't smoke. - I am basically from Anakapalle.
Unfortunately, my dad sent me to his friend's place in Hyderabad.
He said he'd get me a job.
Venky, why are you still there? Get the luggage. - Coming.
Is she your sister?
If I had a sister like her, I would have killed her.
Let me take the luggage inside. - Fine.
Give me the suitcase. - All right.
Looks good.
Why are you still here? This is women's room.
Is it? Then both of us should get out.
Was that a joke? - Didn't you like it?
Hey.. Why do you have to kick me out?
This is bad.
Hi, buddy. Did they throw you out? - No, they pushed me out.
I thought you were thrown out.
Are you related to the groom or the bride?
I'm from Hyderabad.
I like you. - Thank you.
There is a place for guys like us. Let's go there.
I want to shower first. - You can do it there. Come on.
Okay. Let's go.
That's it. Let's go.
Who is he?
Who are you? - I am related to the bride.
Related to the bride?
He is the bride's friend. - Sit down.
Have a drag.
Enjoy!
Are you a friend of the bride? - Not a close friend.
But I do know her. - What do you know?
She is beautiful. - Well, that's obvious.
She talks well. - That's obvious, too.
Tell us something that only her friends would know about her.
I don't know her so intimately.
He is shy. Give him a cool drink.
Yes, a drink.. - Get him one.
Whiskey or rum. - I don't drink.
Do we know how to walk when we are born?
We learn it by holding on to walls. This is the same.
Get him some whiskey. Go ahead.
You need to have a drink.
Go ahead. Have it..
Come on, drink it up!
How was it? - Bitter?
Nauseous? - Intoxicating?
I want to have another one.
Here you go.
Drink up. - Gulp it down.
Okay. Tell me now. - What?
About Asha. - Asha.
I had a small affair with Asha. - Really?
I'm not a fool to tell a lie after having a cool drink.
I wooed her by playing a piano.
Don't let the groom know this. He might get hurt.
Why is this fellow getting tense when I talk about Asha?
He is the groom.
Him?
Buddy, don't look at me angrily.
Asha is like my sister. I swear. I didn't love her.
Why? Why didn't you love her? - What's wrong with this guy?
Is my wife-to-be not worthy of your love?
Is she so ugly and undesirable?
Come on, tell me.
Why didn't you love her? What's wrong with her?
Tell me.
I have a strong reason for not falling in love with Asha.
What is it? - I have a love affair with another girl.
What is this? We struggle to woo even a single girl.
How did you woo so many girls? I can't take this.
I will kill him and go to jail.
Silence..
He is too drunk. Put him to sleep. You go ahead.
The thing is..
Don't give details. Keep it simple.
Okay.
This is that girl. This is me.
In the beginning, we didn't get along well.
When we saw each other, she used to scorn.
Scolding, fighting, quarrelling. The situation was bad.
But something happened, and she began to smile when she saw me.
She began to talk. Started wishing me goodnight.
And one day, she said she liked me.
And her whole behaviour changed.
What about you?
What is this? - That is my situation.
I can neither accept nor reject it. A small disturbance somewhere.
Those eyes! Oh, no.. That isn't a girl.
We know that's a glass.
That magnetic pull. I can't resist it.
Why do you want to resist? You should accept her.
No. That's not right. - Why not?
She is already engaged. - Oh, dear.
So what? I am in love with a married woman.
What happened next? - What do you think? A war ensued.
She poured water on me. - What did you do?
I didn't back off. The next day I took her to a restaurant.
Ordered idly, and then gave a warning.
What did she do? - Poured sambar on me.
What did you do? - Washed it with washing powder.
You let down all men.
She poured sambar when I scolded her for pouring water on me.
If I scold her again, she might attack me with acid.
And that would be the end of me.
That's why I silently walked out.
Why are you keeping away from her? Is she ugly?
Ugly? These two eyes aren't enough to behold her.
Is she so fat?
Sorry.
"My beloved's walk is more gracious than a swan"
"Her speech is sweet as honey"
"Her one smile is enough to get you entangled in her web"
"A deluge of pearls and soft thorns pierce the heart"
"A hint from those eyes is enough to make the heart flutter"
"It doesn't want to return from the dimple on her chin."
"Can anyone see the night during the day?"
"I will show her hair and you will agree with me."
"Her one smile is enough to get you entangled in her web"
"A deluge of pearls and soft thorns pierce the heart"
"Like a bonfire in the heart"
"Like a cool breeze in the hot sun"
"Like a river cascading down the mountains"
"She sways my heart."
"Like the first ray of sun that enters the door"
"Like the fresh leaves on a branch"
"Like the silvery lightening in the dark cloud"
"She mesmerises me."
"When she walks, a garden of flowers blooms"
"Everyone gets spellbound looking at her"
"Her one smile is enough to get you entangled in her web"
"A deluge of pearls and soft thorns pierce the heart"
"The air is filled with her fragrance."
"It always reaches me wherever I am."
"How can I get away from it?"
"Whenever I remember her"
"That enchanting grace"
"Intoxicates my mind."
"How can I hide it?"
"I am unable to figure out if it is a dream or reality"
"How can I say if she is meant for me?"
"Don't be afraid. It is her magic."
"It isn't poetry but the work of the Love God."
"Her one smile is enough to get you entangled in her web"
"A deluge of pearls and soft thorns pierce the heart"
"A hint from those eyes is enough to make the heart flutter"
"It doesn't want to return from the dimple on her chin."
"Has anyone seen night during the day?"
"I will show you her hair and you will agree with me for sure."
Sorry.. I thought this was my room. - This is indeed your room.
Then why are you both here? - We have been waiting for you.
Did you lose any luggage?
We lost our good image. - What?
We didn't believe that you were having drunken brawls.
But after seeing you now, we believe it.
I proudly told everyone that our Venky isn't such a guy.
I am such a person, Pinky. I am.
I agreed to drink because they said it was just whiskey.
But those wicked guys added soft drinks in it
and look what has happened.
Let's go. We can't talk to drunkards.
Pinky! - I'll call my uncle tomorrow and you can talk to him.
Don't punish me so harshly, Pinky.
I made a mistake. I have sinned. Give me one more chance.
Do you want to drink a few more 'cool drinks'?
Not to drink, but to quit.
But don't tell your uncle about this.
I will do whatever you want me to do.
What are you doing?
I am holding your feet and begging you.
You are holding cot legs, not my legs.
Let's go. - Cot legs.
Am I so drunk? I thought these were her legs.
Sorry, I didn't see you coming.
That's okay. It doesn't hurt much when guys like you bump into me.
Keep walking. Why are you stopping?
That boy ran into my wife. - Okay.
He talked to her too. - Okay.
I need to keep an eye on him till the wedding is over.
This guy doesn't look like a flirt.
But my wife is. That's what is freaking me out.
Does Asha know you are here? - No, she doesn't.
Do you know that Asha will be here shortly? - Yes.
If you don't mind, don't let her see you till we get married.
Please.
You don't have to plead with me so much.
If she sees me here, I know that she will feel sorry for herself
for marrying you.
Do you think this discussion is necessary?
Go away from here. Please.
Okay.. - Go!
Hello. The groom is handsome.
I know. That's why I am marrying him.
How are you? - Not bad.
Where is your wife?
Poor guy! Shall we tell him that Asha knows the truth?
No, why should we bother?
She must be somewhere around. - Where?
There.
Aunt! - Aunt?
Who is he? - Uncle.
What is it, dear? - When did you marry him?
Me? - Seeing from a distance, I mistook you for my wife. Sorry.
Why are you blushing?
I think he made a mistake.
Let him go.
If I let him go now, you will leave me later.
What did I do to you?
I have only one wife. Do you want to take her away?
Sir, please listen to me.
What? Do you want to convince me?
Why raise a ruckus in the public? Look, she's feeling bad.
Why are you bothered about her feelings?
One doesn't have to be a husband to understand a woman's feelings.
It can be anyone with a compassionate heart.
Hey! I won't spare you. - You got it all wrong.
Asha, look there.
Hey!
Are you leaving? Won't you be here for my nuptial night?
You just need your husband. Why do you want us here?
Please, Nandu. The reception is tomorrow evening. Stay till then.
After that, I won't stop you.
Please. Please!
No, we can't stay. I have a lot of work at the office.
I mean, it is not so important.
So, are you staying back? - I have to talk to my dad.
I will take care of that. Okay?
We'll stay, but what shall we do till tomorrow evening?
Listen to religious discourses! - Venky!
I was just joking.
Nandu, Water World is nearby. Lots of games and great fun.
Water World!
Damn it!
Sir, where are you going? - Water World.
I'm going there too.
I have got a flat tyre. - Okay. Get in.
Just a moment.
Pinky, sit in the back seat.
I am coming. - Yes, get in.
Come on, get in.
One moment. - Where are you going now?
Another moment please.
Do we have to wait to give a ride to a stranger? Nonsense.
Then why do I have to drive you around?
Come in. We have lost enough time.
Let's go now.
I am diabetic, so I have to answer nature's calls regularly.
Nature's call?
This guy is diabetic. That guy is egoistic.
What's the umbrella for?
I don't want to catch a cold if it rains. So, a precaution.
Do you have cash in the bag? - A rain coat and a hat.
If the umbrella gets blown away by wind, I can use them.
Why did you place so many locks on the car?
It's a highway. Someone might steal it.
A precaution. - You got me right.
You take so many precautions. Why didn't you have a spare tyre?
Well, I had it in the car. - Then? - I had two flat tyres.
I see! - Two tyres.
Would have been good if he had met with an accident.
What was that sound at the end?
Oh! I hit the engine with a big stone.
So that car doesn't start even if one breaks open all the locks.
What if you want to start the car?
I want to give you a gift because you gave me a lift.
If you turn to your left, I will click a beautiful picture.
Okay. Go ahead. - That's it.
You too.
Perfect. That's it. Very good.
To the right. This is the correct position.
Ready.
Ready.. One, two.
Smile.
How do you feel? - I can't express it in words.
Are you okay? - I am okay.
Check the condition of the umbrella.
Umbrella?
It looks fine. - Is it working well?
Sorry.
Careful.
Walk carefully. - Pinky, look how he is walking.
How is it now?
Why do you ask repeatedly?
How do I know? I have to go home and check.
Let's go.
Giant wheel! Shall we ride the giant wheel?
Okay. You too join us.
This one? It's very small.
I will come if you want to ride that one. - Which one?
Do you think it is safe in your condition?
I am unable to stand.
I can at least sit comfortably.
Let's go. - Okay, let's go.
Pinky, why are you leaving your sister alone? She'll be scared.
Is this your first time? - Yes.
Will my head spin when I go up?
It's the wheel that spins.
Oh, God.
Give me a ticket.
What are you waiting for? - I need more people.
To spin the wheel? - No.
Do you want her to wait till then?
I can't spin the wheel for just one person.
You should have said that before. Start it.
I can't do it. - Come on, start it.
What a customer I got early in the morning!
Stop it. - What happened? - Stop it now.
I think you are correct. It isn't worth it to spin it for one person.
Let's have coffee before people start coming.
What is your name? - Bose.
Oh, God!
Hey! What is your name?
Please let me get down.
Venky..
Venky, please.
That girl is shouting. Let's get her down.
Do you have brains? Can't you hear me shouting?
Have you gone deaf? Why are you so egoistic?
I was just joking. - What if I had fallen down?
I will kill you.
Oh, God.
You talked to me.
What?
You talked to me.
M-Me.
You talked to me.
I didn't talk to you. - Yes, you did.
Bose, Nandu talked to me.
I didn't talk to you. - Yes, you did.
That's all, you talked to me.
I didn't talk to you. - You did.
Stop. - You did talk to me. - Venky.
I didn't talk to you. - You did.
No.. - Did you see how I made you talk?
I didn't talk to you. - You have talked to me.
Listen..
Why did you stop? Are you angry?
Do you want to cry? Are you out of breath?
Why do you try to catch me? You can't get me.
You can't catch me.
Hey! What happened? Are you really feeling bad?
Look, don't start all over again.
Not talking, pouring water on me. I can't bear it again.
Do you want me to apologise?
I am sorry. I am really sorry.
Isn't that enough? Do you want to scold me?
Go ahead. Yell at me as much as you want to.
Oh, come on! Do you want to hit me? Here you go.
Hit me with this. Hit me.
It is better if you don't talk to me.
You! Hey.
Come on.
Very smooth..
Sit down.
What? Are you tense?
Don't worry. This is my first time too.
Look at me. What's there to be scared of?
It's very simple. It starts here, turns there, and stops there.
If you are too scared, hold my hand.
That's all. Lower it. There is nothing to be scared of.
Look at him. It looks like he might die even before this starts.
Not everyone can be as brave as you.
In that case, one shouldn't get on this.
I don't like women without make-up and men without guts.
Come on. Sit properly.
That's it. Beautiful.
Why am I so tense?
I must act normal.
What's happening?
Stop it!
I need to get down..
I may die.
Oh, God.
I am done for! Stop it!
I'm going to fall down!
I am a goner.
Oh, my God. Stop it.
I beg you to stop it.
Stop it..
Oh, my God!
Stop it.
Stop it, please.
Why are you getting off so fast? - I almost died, dear.
I need to take a leak.
He was so scared. Coward.
It's a big queue.
Sorry, sir.
What is that guy doing inside? Why is it taking him so much time?
Don't make me talk. I have been holding it back for a long time.
Did you ride the giant wheel too?
I need to try somewhere else.
I never thought population rise would be so problematic.
It is so peaceful over here.
Hello, how are you?
Why did she turn?
This is going to kill me.
What shall I do now?
Can't do anything.
Maybe the crowd has cleared at the toilet.
The queue has become longer!
Hey! Go back.
He caught me right there.
What? Is she blind?
Oh, God.
What the hell is this? Move it!
Isn't that flower beautiful?
Yes, very beautiful.
Are you talking about me?
Don't we have any better things to talk about?
Generally, young girls talk about clothes, jewellery or Venky.
Really?
Come on.
Did you see that flower?
Yeah. It is beautiful.
So, what are you waiting for? - What am I supposed to do?
You must get it.
For you? - No. For her.
You are just seeing the flower. I am seeing the whole tree.
Can't you get a flower when a girl asks for it?
Are you a man?
Please don't make me doubt my own capabilities.
I am hungry. Shall we get something to eat?
You just ate something. - So what?
Hey..
How much is that? - It is Rs. 15.
The one below that? - That is Rs. 23.
The one above it?
Oh, God! What do you want?
The one next to it?
Your family is crazy.
You are a blathering idiot. - Not as much as you are.
Will you play that again?
Red hands. Do you know the game? - Yes.
I will keep my hands here and you must hit them.
Hit me. Come on.
Come on..
Come on.
It is not so easy.
I touched you.
Did you really touch me? - Yes.
Don't lie, or you will beget a girl child.
It's better to beget a girl than a boy like you.
So, what is your final word? - I touched you.
Stubborn!
Now it is your turn.
Hello, mister! Am I disturbing you?
Isn't that what you always do?
Where is the ticket?
It was such a foolish idea to come with Venky.
He said he'd be back soon. It's been more than half an hour.
Cheating.
Excuse me.
Sir. Please come.
What a nice technique!
Shall we look for Venky?
That's a better thing to do. Let's go.
Come on.
How much?
One rupee.
No, I'm asking about your weight.
One shouldn't ask a man's height or a woman's weight.
What are you smiling about?
'You will marry a person of your choice.'
Did you see? The prediction is so accurate.
Do you believe this?
Why not?
Hold this.
Just a moment.
Hey.. What are you doing?
What is it?
Read this.
'You will reach a great position in your life'
This dustbin will reach a great position.
You! - You believed it.
My sister is getting married on the 16th.
Please don't miss it.
I will definitely attend it. What is this?
Consider this visiting card as the wedding card.
Okay. - Oh, my.
Be careful.
One should be very careful while walking on the road.
One should look in every direction.
There is a lot of traffic these days.
Look at me. While walking on the road
I think many times before I take a step.
Where is he?
How do I know where he's gone?
'Caution Beware of the manhole'
Good night, Venky.
Nandu. - Yes.
Venky.
Good night.
Ever since I came here
there are only old people around. Full black and white.
There is no colour in life.
That's why I have arranged for a reception this evening.
Only young boys and girls.
You won't find even a single person with grey hair.
Okay.
Look at her. What a beauty she is.
It's been just a few hours since you got married, man.
That has nothing to do with this.
Excuse me. Did you have lunch? - Hey..
Buddy, I have brought four 'cool drinks'. Let's have..
Buddy, no. Please.
Finish your lunch and come fast. Let's a play a round of cards.
Why did you give me the flower?
Shall I serve you some rice? - No, thanks.
Hey! That's my glass.
That's why the water is tasty.
Keep eating.
You won't drink from another glass now.
Don't keep staring at me. I feel so uneasy.
Don't men stare at women?
I just realised how uncomfortable one feels.
Please go. - Let me give you the napkin.
Keep it there. I will take it. - It is okay.
I am done. Go now.
Why did you give me the flower?
Tell me why you gave it to me.
Because I am an idiot.
You said it was beautiful. So, I got it to make you happy.
Fine. I will never give you one again.
Let go of my hand. - No. I won't.
What will you do? - I'll fall at your feet
and beg you to let go of it.
I want you to hold my hands, not my feet.
Do you know what this is?
Grasping the hand.
No. It is hand in hand.
If a guy and a girl hold hands like this
it means they are married.
Don't cook up such things.
As far as I know, the guy needs to tie the knots to get married.
You are so strong. What do you eat?
Don't feel happy because I let go of your hand.
I won't let go of you.
Okay. Thank you..
Friends, when you quit smoking, one must inform a few people.
Because, if you ever want to start smoking again
the fear of not keeping your word
will prevent you from smoking again.
Similarly, we get married in front of friends and relatives.
We send out invitation cards and take pictures and videos.
Because, even if one is tempted to leave his wife
the fear of society's rebukes
makes him stay with the same wife.
Dear friends, these fruits and glares can't stop a revolution.
That's why I am nominating Venky as my heir.
Venky, you take over. Come.
Okay. Thank you.
Now, let me talk a little bit about Mohan.
I said 'little' because there isn't much good to talk about him.
Venky. - Just kidding.
Till now, I thought
that arranged marriages didn't have love.
When asked to exchange the rings
Asha is so innocent that she'd ask if she can wear both rings.
When asked to kiss the bride, Mohan is so bad
he'd want to kiss the bridesmaid too.
I wondered how they can live together for life.
But I feel I was wrong because
it has not even been 24 hours since they got married
but they are already in love.
Look at what he is doing while I am talking here.
Marriage means
three holy knots and a lot of blessings.
That's it.
But there is some power in that.
There is some magic.
There is some providence.
It brings together two strangers.
That is marriage.
We think of many ideas
and believe everything is in our control.
We see a person, like her, love her
and hope to live together.
But sometimes, that may not happen.
So, that doesn't mean we have to stop living.
It is not in our hands as to who our life partners will be.
It may be with a person we like or with a person who likes us
or live without any wishes.
For that matter, can we choose our parents?
We can't choose to be born to famous people.
Rain. We can't determine when it should rain.
We must run for shelter when it rains.
We don't have a choice.
So, life is a compromise.
It's a compromise.
When your entire life is a compromise
you cannot say that you will marry only a particular person
and will not compromise.
When we don't get the person we love
it is better to love the person we get.
Anyway, I just hope for one thing.
Asha must remain strong, keep kicking her husband daily
and my wish must be granted.
Okay?
Venky.
Come on, folks. It is party time. Come on, join me.
"Can't you say it once that you liked me?"
"Can't you be with me and share my life?"
"Our heart is the size of a tiny fist."
"But our wishes are huge."
"Why don't we let desires come out in the open?"
"Do you know what a dream is and what reality is?"
"Why do want to disturb the peaceful mind?"
"We should realise that we cannot reach the moon"
"Why don't we teach the young ones not to reach for the moon?"
"Let's stay awake all the time to avoid needless dreams"
"Why don't we teach kids to never fall asleep?"
"Teach them that dreams are unreal"
"And not to think of making them real."
"Does the sweet feeling of love reach us with our permission?"
"Can't you say it once that you like me?"
"Can't you be with me and share my life?"
"Beautiful rainbow bridges built by the gentle breeze"
"And stars adding brightness to it, can't the distance be erased?"
"With endless naughtiness, with endless enthusiasm"
"Jumping across the shores, will the sky break away?"
"Where there is will, there is a way"
"Is there anything not possible when you are determined?"
"Why don't we just assume that we got what we wished for?"
"Can't you say it once that you like me?"
"Can't you be with me and share my life?"
"Our heart is the size of a tiny fist."
"But our wishes are huge."
"Why don't we let desires come out in the open?"
Why are you doing this?
Sometimes you seem to be very close to me.
Sometimes you behave as if we don't know each other.
Sometimes, I feel I can tell you anything.
Sometimes, I am afraid to tell you anything.
Why?
You hurt me, but you pacify me too.
Sometimes you make me laugh. Sometimes you make me cry.
Why are you torturing me?
Why are you driving me crazy?
Why did you enter my life at all?
Why, Venky? Why are you doing this to me?
Tell me.
Why?
Good night, Pinky.
The dishes must be tasty.
I won't pay you if anything goes wrong. - Okay.
Hubby. - Who is she?
The cook.
The cook?
Are you sure she's not a glutton? - Don't make her kick you.
Show her the kitchen.
Greetings. - Greetings.
Who is she? - She is my wife.
If you don't mind, can I ask you something?
I won't mind as long as it isn't about height.
Is yours a love marriage? - It is a love marriage.
But she loved another guy and he ditched her. And I married her.
Padma. - Yes.
Look who is here. - Hi.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Did you think I would get here on time for the wedding?
It looks as if I got you married just recently.
And I am getting my daughter married now.
When it comes to girls, everything happens in a hurry.
They grow up fast, get married, get children and get old.
By the way, where's the bride?
She is upstairs. - Upstairs?
Aunt.
Nandu.
What is all this?
Sekharam is coming here after a long time.
This is a small welcome party for him.
If you want to drink, then go ahead.
But don't come up with such lame excuses.
What do you mean? Do you think I am a drunkard?
Well, isn't that the truth?
Look. I told you before we got married that I like to drink.
Then why did you marry me?
Just like all women, I thought I could make you quit.
Is it? Were you so confident about yourself?
I thought so then.
So, what do you feel now?
Rather than asking you to quit, I should start drinking.
Hey..
Hey, Sekharam. - Seenu.
Hey, stop. - What happened?
Did you go to the outhouse before coming here?
Then I would've left this suitcase over there.
Didn't I say that he would come visit me first?
You didn't believe me.
It has been such a long time.
You have a paunch now.
Come.. - How are you?
I am good.
How are you? - I am good.
I hope my son isn't troubling you.
He isn't your son anymore. Venky is my boy.
He's taking care of my daughter's wedding arrangements.
When did he become so responsible?
He's always been responsible. You didn't believe in him.
I will get you coffee.
Not coffee. Send some soda.
Shut up. Send some delicious coffee.
Why are you posing like a gentleman?
Shut up. Your daughter is getting married in the morning.
Knock some sense into his mind. - Anything is fine.
We will eat while we drink. Won't we?
You won't change.
Uncle, someone from your office has come to meet you.
I will be back. - Okay.
Be here.
What are you doing? - I'm digging a hole for the canopy.
What you are using is very big. Get a spoon from the kitchen.
Get a bigger shovel.
Hello, how are you?
I couldn't meet you sooner. I guess you might be busy.
Do you want flowers? I will have them sent to you.
Hey, Banthi!
How can you put on an act so well?
How can you behave so normally as if nothing has happened?
Not everyone can be like you.
That silly girl is crying in her room.
I am not accusing you. She is the one at fault.
It's a big mistake to love someone else after getting engaged.
Even if she falls in love, it is a bigger mistake to express it.
But she doesn't know this.
You are cultured. You don't want to ruin her life.
So you're trying to get her married.
That's why I couldn't talk to you.
I am walking away as I couldn't stand before your greatness.
Why do you men behave so cowardly?
When a girl confesses her love
don't you have the guts to even answer her?
Do you think you are great
if you get the girl you love married to someone else?
Remember this
these customs were born after humans
and not the other way around.
Nandu may not commit suicide if she doesn't marry you
but she will be miserable her whole life.
Then, you must answer for every tear that rolls out of her eyes.
You must answer.
Dad, when did you come?
Sir. - I will be back.
Yes.. Okay, sir. Okay. No problem.
First, finish setting up the canopy.
How is he?
He was a boy when he was with me.
Now, he has become a man.
Come.
Come..
Did you see? Why don't you ask him how he is?
It is ignorance to ask a sad person if he is fine.
It is unnecessary to ask a happy person how he is.
Well said.
Venky, the groom's family is arriving today.
What about their accommodation? - I have made the arrangements.
What about dinner? - The caterer will take care of it.
I have asked them to cook whatever the guests order.
What else? - The wedding venue will be decorated tomorrow.
I have ordered the flowers and garlands.
I've booked hotel rooms for the groom's friends.
A videographer will be with them all the time.
He will cover all the rituals over there.
And.. - Venky.. Enough. Don't tell me.
Your father is with me. You are taking care of everything here.
I couldn't ask for more.
Do whatever you want to do. But on one condition.
I don't want any complaints from the groom's family.
Everyone should remember this wedding for a decade.
How you do that is up to you.
I will come at the end and bless the couple.
What do you say?
Is this the house? - The guest house.
You don't have any manners. Who are you?
I didn't say anything.
Is it manners not to talk to the groom's family?
If you tell me the right way, I will follow it.
First fold your arms, bow your head and stand a feet away.
What do you want? - What is your name?
Banthi. - Banthi?
You mean, the round thing? A ball? - Yes.
Did they name you after you were born or was it the other way round?
I'm not sure.
Do you have coffee? - Yes.
How is it? - It is hot.
What else do you have? - Tea, coffee, Horlicks
Bournvita, Nutramul, Cerelac, Farex..
Complan.
Except for Complan, we have none of those that I mentioned earlier.
Nandu!
You don't have to say anything. I will go away.
But before I leave, tell me if you like me or not.
Admit it that you love me, and I will compromise as you said
and get married.
Deny it and I will accept that it is a sin to love
and I'll get married.
But tell me the truth.
Why is this happening?
Why is this happening only to me?
You want love, your dad wants honour.
My dad wants all of you.
So this wedding must happen.
You must leave.
You must forget me.
Don't act hastily.
I thought it over. I won't marry her.
You refuse to marry her because of this?
What more do you need to know about her character?
Okay. Don't marry her. I will get you another girl.
If you come know that that girl also had an affair
will you reject her too?
She had an affair before the wedding.
You can have an affair after the wedding.
What are you saying? - Shut up.
We won't throw a bag full of rice just because it has a few stones.
Do you want to forgo a rich alliance because of this issue?
This flaw in her character could be a huge advantage for us.
Don't you see ads promoting discount sales of faulty goods?
The items with minor defects will be sold at low rates.
Similarly, brides who had affairs before their wedding
or those who had eloped and came back
can fetch us a huge dowry.
Don't you understand me? I'll send this photo to her father
and demand another crore from him.
Nowadays, it's difficult to get a bride
who doesn't have pre-marital affairs.
Listen to me. Marry her.
I will take care of the rest.
Get up.
Leave now.
Sir, you must calm down. - Who the hell are you, man?
You can't afford to yell at us. - I said, get out!
Your daughter is at fault. Why do you yell at us?
Don't you dare to talk about my daughter.
We don't have to lie about your girl's character.
Look at this. See for yourself. - Look.
Our guy is cultured. He's agreed to marry her if you pay one crore.
If it was someone else, even 10 crores wouldn't suffice.
Stop looking at it. Tell us what you intend to do.
Do you want us to proceed to the wedding venue
or do you want us to go back?
Think it over.
Let's go. - Come.
Sir, the groom's family is going back.
Son.
It is all my fault. I loved him.
I couldn't help it even though I knew it was wrong.
I am sorry. I am really sorry.
What's happening here?
Don't you have the time to see what your daughter is doing?
They showed me this photo and said she had an affair.
And they demanded a crore more.
Shall I pay them?
Money isn't an issue for me.
But if I paid them now
I would be accepting that my daughter's character is bad.
Do you want me to do that?
Dad, Mom doesn't know about this.
Just shut up! I am ashamed to talk to you.
Brother. - Don't interfere.
Listen to me. - What will you tell me?
She fell in love after she got engaged. What will you tell me?
No one knows when they will fall in love with someone.
If they knew it, girls would avoid that situation.
They wouldn't have to stand like a culprit.
So, since one doesn't know when she falls in love
can she go ahead and fall in love even if she's engaged or married?
Is she cultureless?
She's cultured and that's why she agreed to marry the guy you chose
even though she's in love someone else.
You knew about her love affair because someone told you.
Otherwise you would have never known about it.
It would have remained a secret forever.
Even if you spend crores to get her married and feed the guests
they would go back a while later and would be hungry again.
Everyone will forget about the wedding.
But your daughter must live with that man her whole life.
Think who is more important.
The guests who attend the wedding or the guy whom she marries.
The guy who marries her is important. I accept it.
But ask her to say why she likes him.
Why did she love him?
Let her tell how the guy she loved is better than the guy I chose
and I will cancel this wedding.
She can't say. Not only her
no one can answer this question.
In most cases, we just ask people what they like.
And seek no explanation as to why they like it.
But in the case of human beings, we seek such explanations.
There may be reasons to dislike a person
but no one can give reasons for loving a person.
But if you ask me why I want her to marry Prasad
I can give 100 reasons.
Brother. - Don't talk. Don't.
Now, for the guests who are here
it's irrelevant if the bride and her family are cultured.
They care only about witnessing the wedding.
Where is Venky?
The wedding is due in an hour. Why are you leaving?
What happened? Why are you leaving?
Weren't you looked after well? Did anyone insult you?
Please tell me what you want.
Please. Sir, what do you want? - Platform number.
Please wait a moment.
Tell me what happened. I will solve your problem.
You are the problem.
Me? What are you saying, sir?
Don't act innocent. Everyone knows the affair between you and the girl.
What are you saying? You are mistaken.
There's nothing between us.
Now, that's a shocker.
How did this get here? I really don't know, Dad.
Sir, don't believe this.
This is misleading. We don't have any affair.
I love my mother very much. I swear on my mother
she is a good girl. Believe me.
Son, stop it. - Please be quite.
Please let me handle this.
He is a young guy and he's angry. You are an elder.
If this wedding is cancelled, he won't be able to bear it.
He cares a lot about his honour.
Is he the only honourable person? Aren't we?
I didn't mean that. - Why do you talk to him?
Listen to me. - Hey, don't you understand?
We can't accept a characterless girl.
Hey!
Don't talk too much, sir. Listen to me. Please.
Please wait a moment.
Once you marry her, you will realise that she is good.
Are you giving her a conduct certificate? - Sir..
Her father doesn't care. Why are you bothered?
You can't persuade us. - Don't say that.
A girl's life will be ruined. Her family will also be affected.
Come to the wedding venue. I fall at your feet.
What are you doing? People will take me for a villain.
You held her hands before and now you're falling at our feet.
Aren't you ashamed?
You can curse me as much as you want
but don't cancel this wedding. Please.
Stop annoying us.
I only talk once. Then my hands will do the talking.
Son. - Let's go.
Sir, please stop. - Even God can't make us change our mind.
And she will never get married.
I won't let that happen. - Sir..
Are you certifying that she is a chaste woman? Get lost!
Who is the one planning to leave? Don't you get it?
Who wants to go away? - Are you threatening us?
If anyone steps forward, I will chop off his legs.
I dare you to step forward. Step forward.
You are so arrogant that you live in the US?
You won't even reach the airport. Don't irritate me.
None of you can leave this place till this wedding is over.
I will conduct this wedding even if I have to shed blood.
What are you looking at? Pick up the luggage.
Give me just five minutes. They will be at the venue.
You can go back. - Venky.
Pick up your luggage. Now!
Venky. - This wedding will take place.
No, Venky. Let them go.
Sir. I will.. - No.
Is this a new drama?
Why are you pleading with this bugger?
As long as he is paid money, he doesn't mind any daughter-in-law.
That guy isn't even worthy of being my watchman.
Why are you begging them?
Hey, get lost!
Get lost.
Dad.. - Let's go.
Sir.. Please..
Why did you cheat me?
Me? Do you believe their allegations?
Don't you like Nandu?
Tell me the truth. Look into my eyes and tell me.
I like her. I like her very much.
I didn't say this even to Nandu. I'm telling it to you.
I told you because you said I cheated you
or I would have never told this. - Isn't this cheating?
Isn't it cheating to hide the fact that you like Nandu?
Is that guy better than you?
I thought Sekharam's son was my dear one.
But you treated me as a stranger.
I loved Nandu.
But I felt my love for her paled in comparison to yours.
I felt it was insignificant. So, I didn't express it.
My dad warned me before I got here.
He didn't want me to ruin his friendship with you.
That's why I didn't tell anyone.
I never wanted both of you to apologise to each other.
And I must never be the cause of it.
That's why I didn't tell anyone.
I am a fool.
I am a fool!
I was so eager to get my daughter married to someone from abroad
that I didn't mind if my daughter really liked the guy or not.
Here is a gem of a guy.
But I didn't realise it.
I am sorry, Sekharam. I am sorry.
I am sorry, Venky.
Make it quick.
Hello. - Hello. Did you come just now?
I came in the morning to attend your wedding.
But I had to go out for a while, so I left a present for you.
A present? - The photos of you guys which I snapped at Water World.
Didn't you get them? - I didn't get them.
I gave it to a dark, chubby fellow.
There he is. - Banthi, come here.
What is it? - Didn't I give you an envelope in the morning?
He asked me to give it to the groom, and I did so.
Is it you who gave the photos to the groom?
So, aren't you the groom? - Now, I am the groom.
So, it wasn't you earlier? - It was someone else then.
What? I thought both of you were getting married.
Yes, we're getting married.
You said it was some other guy? - That wedding was cancelled.
Who are getting married now? - The girl in your photo and I.
Why was the other wedding cancelled? - Because of your photos.
A wedding got cancelled because of the photos I took?
Sir, I am totally confused. Tell me the whole thing clearly.
It's a long story. Have your lunch and I'll tell you the whole story.
All right. Now, the groom.. - Over there, to the right..
Where are you going? - I will serve him food.
I want to talk to you. - I really didn't know that they were photos.
But why did you give it to them straight away?
Are you wearing a belt? - Yes. - Take it out.
Hey, Banthi. - Please spare me.
There's some unfinished business. Come here.
What is it? - I thought Banthi was here.
Why would he be here? I know why you are here.
You can't enter a room where a girl is alone.
Don't you have any sense?
Hey! Why are you walking away? Answer me.
Why did you lock the door? What are you going to do?
I will shout.
I will call out to everyone.
'The End'
"My heart says you are inside it"
"And it wants to tell you the same."
"My eyes always look for you and drive me towards you."
"Why is this happening to me? My heart has the answer."
"My heart says you are inside it"
"And it wants to tell you the same."
"Every moment I think of you is oddly sweet."
"I am afraid of what will happen as my heart doesn't listen to me."
"I will keep you in my heart."
"We shall walk hand in hand if we are together"
"My heart says you are inside it"
"My eyes always look for you and drive me towards you."
"Why is this happening to me? My heart has the answer."
"My heart says you are inside it"
"And it wants to tell you the same."
