Even if the world opposes you...
...even if it screams that you have lost every single time in the past...
...until you admit it yourself...
...no one can defeat you anywhere! Anytime!
Who are you? -The champion!
What did Mike Tyson once say?
The world only remembers the person who came first!
You were born to win! You can do it!
I can do it!
Mom! Go and sign up!
Tell them I have arrived!
Here she comes!'
Here comes Vijayalakshmi!'
Here she comes!'
Here comes Vijayalakshmi!'
Your name Ma'am? -Janaki Venkataraman.
Sir? -Yes?
I brought my own spoon. Can I use it? -No problem. Show me.
Such a big spoon?
You never specified the spoon's size, did you?
So? You'll bring a curry ladle?
This is a lemon and spoon race!
But this thing can even carry a mango!
We don't allow such stuff! -Okay.
Take a lemon and a spoon.
Your name? -Vijayalakshmi Balakrishnan.
Last year's winner! -Okay.
Go ahead!
Tell me ma'am.
'Here she comes!'
Here comes Vijayalakshmi!'
Here she comes!'
Here comes Vijayalakshmi!'
Paths turn beautiful only for her to walk!'
Skies turn colorful only for her to smile!'
Blooms the moon only for her to pluck!'
Is one world enough for her to conquer?'
Normally a gentle lamb is who she is.'
When it comes to a fight, she turns into a lion!'
She rests, but not until she wins!'
She is no little stream to be stopped by obstacles!'
She flows like a wild river breaking barriers along the way!'
The second prize goes to Mrs. Vijayalakshmi Balakrishnan.
The first prize goes to Mrs. Mythili Rajendran.
How about that? -Awesome Viji!
Can you take just one picture Balu?
Here she comes!'
Here comes Vijayalakshmi!'
Here she comes!'
Here comes Vijayalakshmi!'
Hey Balu.
Why don't we raise some money and set up a travel service?
A travel service?
Sure thing!
The tailoring unit and chit fund business you began are running well after all!
Let's try our hand on this too!
I'm serious! Don't make fun of me!
Alright. Let's think about it.
First, let's buy a car!
Not one! Five cars!
Think big Balu!
Vijayalakshmi Travels.
All five air-conditioned? -Obviously!
You drive one of the cabs!
No way!
I must be at the office!
I must handle the accounts and attend calls from customers!
I'll make surprise trips too! To inspect the drivers.
Will you drop me off to school in one of those cars?
No way!
My customers are important to me. As always, go with your father!
What is this? There are five cars and I go on a motorcycle?
My friends will ridicule me if they find out!
Listen up. Business always comes first.
Let the business grow...
...after that, we'll buy another car for our use okay?
It's just a small wish of his Viji. Maybe just once a week...
No way!
What do I tell a customer who calls just as he's leaving?
This is not fair mother!
You're being very stubborn Viji! The kid's not asking for much!
Just once a week. He's your only child. You'll put customers before him?
Customers are the most important for me. Only then will the business progress!
Am I right? -Yeah right!
Yes, but it isn't right for you three to fight over a car that doesn't exist.
He talks too much! Won't be a good fit for our company!
Aunty's calling mom.
Mom!
We're on our way home sister.
We'll be there in ten minutes.
Alright. Come by.
She's come to our neighborhood to invite folks for housewarming.
This is for musical chairs. -Musical chairs?
This is for a singing competition.
That's enough!
Haven't repaired the TV yet Balu?
No, I've asked for a replacement.
Grandpa! Dad's the only one they don't care about at customer care.
Hey! That's enough!
I'm thinking of going to the consumer court.
You intend to go to court over this?
We must fight for our rights father-in-law!
That fight for rights has been going on since three months!
Next step: Self-immolation at the collector's office!
Burn the television set instead!
How did you make these things so quickly?
She's always been like that.
Had she been so enthusiastic with studies, she'd be a bank officer like you two!
Have some fries. -Thanks.
Eating. Aren't I?
Here Siddhu. -Dear boy!
Are you studying well or are you like your mother too?
Grandpa, when I grow up, I'll start a business. Just like mom!
Start a business, like mom?
Yes grandpa! Mom's going to start a travel service!
What?
A travel service? What's all this?
Why? What's wrong if I do it?
Will you give me a loan at your bank?
Why?
To buy a car! -To buy five cars!
The TV set itself is not working properly. As if a car will!
Everything's a game for you isn't it?
I'm serious.
She took her junior college exam lightly. Three times!
Give me that!
Go make chilli or onion fries!
What are you so mad about?
Why not? Dad ridicules me all the time. That too in front of Siddhu!
He's telling the truth. As if you're a state rank holder!
Did I fail on purpose? First time, I had typhoid!
Second, everything was out of syllabus!
Even Muthulakshmi, who always topped, failed in that one!
The third time, my finger got gangrene!
Then my grandpa stopped my studies claiming it "would be of no use"!
You mimic very well! -Sure I do!
Does that mean you can say anything you wish? You think business is that easy?
You wasted the Rs. 30k we gave you for a chit fund business.
So, you're pointing out my failures too?
I'll return that money. Don't worry.
This is your problem! You must've focused on one thing!
Tailoring! Singing! Cooking! Mimicry!
I'm good at them! I was interested in sports! But no one supported me!
If you had, I'd have gotten a job on sports quota!
A lemon and spoon race isn't included in a sports quota!
What now? I must not do anything. Is that right?
I'll remain stuck at home. When you all drop by, I'll make fries for you!
The fries are awesome Viji. I'll have one more!
I've shut down the travel service. Incurred all kinds of loss!
The bank has seized interest payments! You go settle the driver's accounts.
What's this?
How long are you going to live in a rented house? Why not buy one?
Look at them. They each bought an apartment in the same block!
You should get to buy one too! -I'll see.
Excuse me? Is this your car? -Yes.
It's in my parking space! -We'll move it now.
Isn't it wrong to do so without permission? -Just for a little while sir.
I'd parked a bike in my spot. Plus you don't even own a car!
I don't own a washing machine too. So can you keep yours in my house?
I'm sorry. Get going.
See you Viji. Bye Siddhu!
We're heading back inside.
What's up Balu? Trouble with him today too?
He speaks so rudely sir! -He's always like that.
Like a stove, he's always fuming!
Since he arrived, he's caused trouble with everyone!
Yesterday, there was a ritual at Ms. Mangalam's house.
Unable to bear the noise, he went to that house and caused trouble.
Ms. Mangalam stopped the ritual mid-way!
Poor guy has his own problems.
He's got no wife to give him problems! He lives alone!
Oh! So he's like you? -Don't compare the two of us!
I live alone. He lives in loneliness.
Massage my feet please. -I'm coming.
While leaving, my dad was talking to you. What did he say?
Just the usual stuff.
He said both your sisters have purchased apartments.
He told me to buy a house soon and settle down.
You should've said that we pay rent, but they must pay EMIs!
That there's no difference between them and we're happy too.
I could say that, but what he said is right too.
They're all well settled. You ended up getting stuck with me.
No, Gopal!
My plans were defeated at the altar of your true love!
It's crushed, Gopal!
Now come here.
Shall we sing?
What song should we sing?
Our song!
Last night... -My goodness!'
Lost sleep I did... -Oh yeah!'
O precious sweetheart!'
O dainty parrot!'
Only because of you m'dear...'
Last night... -My goodness!'
Lost sleep I did!'
Still playing that game? It's time for school!
I'm ready! -Let's go!
Do eat your lunch! -A pink box mom?
I like that colour!
I'll go later to pay the electricity bill!
You can do that online right?
Take your bag! -It's time. Let's go!
Slow in everything like your dad!
Come, let's take the stairs!
Come Bhagyalakshmi! You always show up in time for this!
Have a fine life, don't you? You can stay wherever you want!
You got no father or sisters who show up weekly to scold you.
Wait a minute... you fly regularly!
Do you ever get jet lagged?
What's with that noise?
Today, I'm heading out too...
...to pay the electricity bill.
I told Balu about it and he said to pay it online.
But only for work like these, I get to wear a well-pressed sari and head out!
Am I right?
Alright I'm leaving. Bye Bhagu!
Won't you ever change?
The world is passing by! And you blabber about socialism and stuff.
Listen up! Change is the only constant!
The rest will change! -You've been saying this for years!
Have your family problems changed? Same old house and a broken bicycle.
Link your wife with your Aadhar card! Only then can you have children!
There'll be such a law soon!
So many like you are up in arms! And you're doing this!
Understand this!
My opposition will decide the weapon I wield.
So, you won't decide that either eh? -You talk way too much!
Listen up! Stop arguing!
What is it? What's the problem here?
I'll whack you!
Instead of working, what the hell are you both doing?
Get going! Back to work!
I can't deal with this!
Know what's going on out there? They're arguing like school kids!
Do you care about any of it?
It'll be dusk before you finish that paper!
You go home and return with the next day's paper!
You keep ringing that bell all day! It has ruptured your ear drums!
I can't take it anymore! Let me go! I'll find a better person for you!
No need for buttered bread. Curd rice will do.
First attach this on to your ear!
Don't shake it too hard! It'll rip apart!
Hello and welcome back to the show! This is RJ Anjali speaking!
Today is a special day.
Today is World Tourism Day!
To celebrate this special day, here's a small contest for you!
We all love vacations.
Which is the best place you ever visited? And why do you love it?
All you need to do is pick up the phone and dial 8687556611.
The best answer has gifts awaiting!
Here's the first caller of our program. Hello!
Welcome to the show! Tell us about yourself!
My name is Vijayalakshmi Balakrishnan.
I'm calling from Chromepet.
Okay Vijayalakshmi. What do you do?
I am... a housewife.
Tell me Vijayalakshmi. Which is the best place you've ever visited?
Haridwar! -Haridwar? Wow! Why do you like it?
After long hours of travel, it was dark when we got there.
We stayed in a tent. All that travelling put me into a deep sleep!
I woke up at dawn.
I woke up and stepped out.
I was just stunned.
Before my very eyes...
...River Ganga was flowing!
As I looked up...
...there stood the majestic Himalayas!
Like a vanilla topping, the snow capped them!
Behind those mountains, the sun gently rised.
Like when children are indulging in a mischief...
...their mothers peep in to see what they're up to? Like that.
The sound of that river.
The sound of those birds.
Besides them, I could hear nothing.
It felt like, at that moment, I was born again!
I understood that nature is the true God.
That moment...
...I can never forget it.
After listening to you, I feel like going to Haridwar myself!
When did you go there?
I've never been there!
What? You've never been there?
Then what was it you said all the while?
My mother's been to Haridwar. She told me about this!
I loved this story of hers.
As a child, I always asked her to tell me this story.
And she would do so everytime I asked!
She last told me this at the hospital.
Now my mother's no more.
But her tale of Haridwar is still etched in my heart.
To ensure that never changed, I never went there.
Even if I haven't been there, Haridwar is my favorite place!
And one more thing!
When she stood there, she heard a song within her!
Can you play that song for me?
With pleasure. Which song?
A brand new morning.
To make this morning beautiful, here is the song you wished for Vijayalakshmi!
What happened?
Go! You're a housewife too right?
Yes ma'am!
Where is Haridwar ma'am?
It's near Saidapet!
He's a house husband!
What is this? I've shopped in your store for years!
Splendid! -I ask for door delivery and you deny it?
What do I do? The store boy's busy! Take a look!
Who? This guy? I see him all right.
I said the boy was busy when she called!
And if you buy stuff less than Rs. 500. We can't home deliver in that amount!
I asked because I had joint pains! -My joints hurt too!
I've oiled it for eight years and I'm stuck in this seat! Here!
Take the bill!
See you later Viji. -Okay aunty.
Take that! -Yes ma'am.
Hello! -This is Rupa from D-Block.
Yes ma'am! -I need a Harpic!
Red or blue? -What's the difference?
When Abbas wore red pants in the ad, it was for floor cleaning. Blue for the rest!
Red it is.
Right away! -You know the house?
Door number 4-C right? -Yes. Send it right away!
Will you send it yourself or will Abbas do it?
No ma'am. Rupa ma'am has caught a cold, that's why.
I know. She told me about it this morning at the salon.
Back then, folks went to salons for their weddings!
Now they go for ailments too! What a development!
More taxes lead to more ankle pains!
Here you go! -No need for that!
Plastic is harmful! -Thanks ma'am!
Study with some interest!
Have a lot of interest in video games, don't you? Here!
This is really boring mom!
Why must I find the height of this triangle?
I don't know even my height!
I don't know this either.
But you'll get a good job if you study well!
And then you can play all the video games you want to!
That's what I'm doing right now!
Stop arguing! Show me your school handbook!
I left it at school.
I knew it.
Alright. Finish mathematics and start Tamil.
Hello? How long must I wait?
Why talk in English after asking me to press one for Tamil?
What? My date of birth? Why do you want that?
Alright, here it is.
November 12. 'Chithirai' star. 'Kanni' zodiac.
Underwear size is 85. Blood group is O-positive. Is that enough?
It's sound messed up three months after purchase! Everyone sounds hoarse!
Hey! Study!
That guy who usually deals with me? -Ashok!
Yes, Ashok. Let me speak to him!
He's on leave? Fine! I'll email your company owner!
Who cares if he is in Korea or Coimbatore?
I'll meet you at the consumer court! You don't even know what the issue is!
Now look! Listen to what I'm saying! Stop interrupting me!
I don't want a TV mechanic. I want a replacement!
They got scared!
Sure! Your threats scared us too!
I've been dealing with them for three months and you think it's a joke?
For this alone, I'll go to the consumer court.
I'll show them who I am!
Remember when we went to Ooty for our honeymoon?
Yes. -The TV broke down there and you complained!
That TV mechanic came to our room at 9:00 pm.
Remember how you didn't let him in and chased him away?
What would I have done? Back then, you were new, the TV was old.
It's not the case now.
My goodness! -So, I'm old huh?
You dare hit me?
You wretch!
The gaze of the queen...'
Only that will lead me to victory!'
Step up! -And stand straight!'
Speak up and stand straight! -And speak clearly!'
You're singing it all wrong!
Mango chutney and garlic pickles right? -What about raw mango paste?
You didn't add that in the group!
See? I'll give it to you next time. -Really? Alright.
Saroja! Bring out the goods!
Curry leaf powder and two 'vathakuzhambu'!
Two? I had asked for four! Didn't you see my message in the group?
I did see it. Why four? Why have 'vathakuzhambu' thrice a day?
So much tamarind isn't good for you. Two will do for now.
Very well.
Hi Viji! -Hello aunty!
I made coconut sweets yesterday. Balu loves them right? Here.
He must eat them and tell me how it is.
That 'upma' dish you gave me that day? It was delicious!
I've made upma for years but can't get that taste!
You have some secret formula. Tell me what is it.
What formula would an 'upma' have?
If it's just right, you can eat it.
If it's a little gooey, you use it as glue! Simple!
Be quiet! You don't know anything! Tell me!
It's nothing. Final touch, add some milk. That's it.
I see... -Got a lot of work to do. I'll get going.
Even to prepare 'upma', the final trick is adding milk?
It's awesome man! -Will stick it in the cupboard in my room!
What the hell?
You all see Virat Kohli only in posters!
Do you know that I've bought him off?
Like you're the owner of the IPL! Beat it!
I'm talking about the 'Sachin Saga' video game!
Last week, I crossed the tenth level and bought Virat Kohli!
Really? -You're a real wimp!
Hey! -Well, aren't you?
You guys still play 'Candy Crush'! A grandma's game!
I'm at another level!
From next week, I'll start playing 'God of War'!
Really? 'God of War'?
Can we download that on a phone?
It can't be downloaded on a phone!
It can only be played on PlayStation! Very expensive!
Would it cost about five thousand rupees?
It costs thirty thousand! My cousin has one!
I threw a tantrum by not eating for two days.
So my dad said he'd gift me one for my birthday.
My birthday is next week. Come over to my house and I'll show you!
Kamali! How are you rascal? Where have you been?
I'm calling from Hello FM!
I'm sorry. When I heard your voice, I mistook you for a friend of mine.
You're Vijayalakshmi right? -Yes.
You've been selected as the winner of yesterday's World Tourism Day contest.
Please stay on the line. RJ Anjali will speak to you.
For making us see the Haridwar that you haven't, a gift awaits you!
Anjali! I really love your voice!
Can I call you 'Viji'?
Sure! Even Balu calls me that!
Balu... is my husband.
That's so sweet. Tell me about yourself Viji.
I'm Vijayalakshmi from Chrompet... -You've already said that!
Tell us something more interesting. Like your hobbies or special talents.
I can sing!
Wow! So please sing a song for our listeners!
O my slim and svelte one!'
O fair and handsome one!'
Wait! There are two more lines left!
O my naughty-smiled one!'
This heart doesn't forgets you!'
That's beautiful Viji!
I mentioned there was a prize awaiting you. Do you want to know what it is?
Yes. Please tell me.
Your prize is a clip-on pressure cooker presented by The Prestige Company!
To be frank, I don't want a pressure cooker.
I just bought one last week.
Could you give me a TV set instead?
Hello? Hello? "The line appears to be disconnected."
We couldn't give the TV she asked.
But, we can definitely give a superb song to her!
The song she sang is coming your way!
Did you say that you didn't want the cooker?
Nothing like that! What is its capacity?
I don't know.
I see. Do you have any contest where the prize is a TV set?
This is a radio station. Not a Vivek and Co. showroom!
If you want the cooker, come to our office at 11:00 am tomorrow.
Alright! Where is it located?
What's wrong?
Plenty of problems at work.
Workers argue over everything!
Owners don't care about anything!
I hate going to work!
The usual problems right?
I can't handle it anymore.
Should we do something Viji?
Should the two of us start a business together?
An equal partnership?
The thing is, partnership...
...won't work for me.
Alright! I'll go have a bath.
I'm worried about Siddhu.
What? His constant gaming? That'll be fine.
Not that.
For how long...
...will he remain alone?
Doesn't he need a little sister?
You know that one thing we do well as a partnership...
Want a partnership? Help me out in the kitchen!
Partnership' he says!
Hold on!
Excuse me ma'am. Security has asked for you.
He has asked for me?
Yes, she's on her way!
Did you call me?
No ma'am. I did not.
If you could pay me at least today, it would be spectacular.
Many complaints have reached our head office on the food you provide.
I can pay you only after they clear this up.
What are you saying ma'am?
At such pocket-friendly rates, I provide such tasty food to you all!
Even yesterday, there was a new curry with 'chapatti'...
Like hell! You call that 'chapati'? -Yes!
Folks at our office used it as a mouse pad!
So you admit that my 'chapatti' has some use! Give me my cheque!
I have conjunctivitis! Please give me my cheque!
You've come with an eye infection?
So, would you give me my cheque if I had heart aches?
My name is Vijayalakshmi.
Winner of the World Tourism Day contest.
Hello! Just head straight. There'll be a cabin on your right.
A man named Sathya is there. Go meet him. -Thank You ma'am.
It's okay if there's no cheque. I'm fine with cash!
You're still here? How many times should I tell you this?
Last week, without being told, I served chicken biryani!
You call that 'chicken biryani' huh?
It was like, a chicken killed itself inside tomato rice!
No ma'am. It was murder! Didn't you see the egg inside?
Do you know how well my mother cooks?
I could eat her lentil curry all day!
She'd make that much? -Are you mocking me?
Why should I mock you? Please do this.
Corresponding to the complaints, make the deductions and pay me.
If that's the case, you must pay us!
Ma'am? -You've received it?
Yes. I'd like to participate in the, "You can be an RJ too" contest.
It's an interview. Not a contest.
Have you tried for it before?
No. But I can do it. Could you please give me an application form?
No applications necessary. Just do this.
Record your voice at home and send it across. I'll forward it.
My phone is pretty old.
It won't record voices properly. Could you please record it?
I can't do it right now.
How about this? I'll call you tomorrow okay?
I can't come over tomorrow.
I'm a little busy.
Would I not help you if I could?
What's wrong with ladies helping each other?
Can I send my wife for this? -She's still with you?
I thought she would've eloped by now!
Please call someone and ask them for help with this.
Tell them that I'm the winner of the Tourism Day contest.
A contest winner is here. She wants to speak to you.
Oh really? Alright then.
Like I said, she's busy. She said she'll help out tomorrow.
No. You didn't ask her properly.
What do you mean? I called her in your presence.
No. You didn't speak properly.
I did speak properly. Didn't you hear it Pandian?
You speak to everyone properly. Except me...
You can't see her right away.
You could've said I won the World Tourism Day contest.
Why are you so angry?
Did I say something wrong?
I've repeatedly said she's busy! Why are you throwing tantrums?
What tantrum did I throw?
Nothing ma'am. That cheque...
What's wrong Preethi? -She wants to be an RJ.
So she's causing trouble about auditioning right now!
I'm causing trouble?
Why did you say such things?
Why not? I told you she was busy! Why don't you get that?
Please let me speak.
Tell me.
I asked for an application form for the RJ contest.
Didn't I say there was no form for that?
She told me to send a voice recording.
My phone's clarity is terrible. I asked if I could record it now.
For that she claims I'm causing trouble! -What else would I call it?
Tell me your name ma'am. -Vijayalakshmi.
Tourism Day contest winner... -Viji? Haridwar?
O my slim and svelte one!'
I sang that yesterday.
Your voice sounds even better in person!
Now what? You want to become an RJ?
Longtime dream huh?
No! Just since the last ten minutes!
I can do it.
Give me a chance.
Look, just like Lord Vishnu with his holy discus!
I asked why are you late!
A protest against inhumanity is going on in Syria!
Are you coming from Syria?
From Valluvarkottam.
As usual, the cops swooped in and created a problem!
You must've drunk all night and woken up late!
Still as irresponsible as you were in college!
Relying on you, I'm planning a late night show.
I think about it 24 hours a day!
Even developed a concept!
Just wait. Our show will be a bigger hit than Nila FM's late night show!
Yeah right. All sounds good to hear.
Should I come later Maria?
Come along.
Maria, this is Vijayalakshmi, winner of yesterday's Tourism Day contest.
Haridwar! I heard that too!
I'm Maria. Head of this station. Your singing was awesome!
Sorry we couldn't give you a TV set. Hope you're happy with the cooker.
The thing is...
...I badgered my husband into buy this very cooker last week.
It's okay. I'll gift it to my elder sister for her housewarming!
I have two sisters. Rajalakshmi and Jayalakshmi. Twins.
I'm Vijayalakshmi.
The three of us... -Very nice to meet you!
Keep listening to our station! Hello FM...
106.4!
There was a poster outside which said "You can be an RJ too."
I wish to try for it.
You want to be an RJ?
Do you have any experience?
No, I don't.
But anytime there's a function in my colony, I host them!
I gave the welcome speech at last year's Pongal function.
Would you please give me a chance to audition?
I've seen him before.
Oh you definitely must have!
He's the legendary poet, radio jockey, producer and warrior!
Where? On Facebook?
Tell her your name yourself!
Kumki!
My pen name is 'Kumki'!
Kumbakarai Krishnamurthy! I shortened it as 'Kumki'!
Good that you weren't born in Mangalore. Otherwise you'd be 'Monki'!
Ridiculing me? Don't speak without knowing what 'Kumki' means!
I came forth to tame wild elephants that are drunk with power!
So, you don't work here?
Under that name, I've published three poetry books!
Gelatin sticks within oysters!
Cyanide capsules and mindful insects!
Trumpets of Elephants! Three of them!
Kumki is hilarious!
Hilarious? What is this Maria? -Alright!
He'll conduct your audition. -Me?
Have you ever auditioned before?
No ma'am. But...
...I can do it.
Can we take a selfie ma'am?
What do I do now?
Don't yell!
Read what's in this paper into that mic. -What?
Read what's in this paper into that mic!
To dazzle your nights...
...to sweeten your solitude...
...to pour out your personal problems...
...come talk to me!
Oh my goodness! What is this?
Do you know how hard I worked to come up with these lines?
Writing a penance. Words are wishes!
How should they be said?
Like flowers that fall upon the earth during spring!
Like a breeze that blows over a waterfall, the words must flow!
You sound as if it's a political meeting on the streets! Do it again!
What did he say?
My God! Read it again.
Do it. -Give her a demonstration.
Listen carefully.
To dazzle your nights...
...to sweeten your solitude...
...to pour out your personal problems...
...come talk to me!
Got it? Say it like that!
I see! I must speak in a husky voice like 'Silk' Smitha?
I can speak like Saroja Devi very well ma'am!
Gopal!
At the altar of your true love...
Oh no! Stop!
Speak in your regular voice.
Excuse me ma'am. We have a lot of work to do.
If you wish to do it, do it. If not...
Look at me. Say it like this.
In a sexy tone.
You know what 'sexy' means right?
To dazzle your nights...
...to sweeten your solitude...
...to pour out your personal problems...
...come talk to me!
Your voice sounds very sexy! -I know!
Here is my card.
You called me ma'am?
No I didn't.
Is the owner around?
Who's on the phone?
I don't know. She sounds strange. -Sounds strange?
I'm calling from Mithiram Colony.
Tell me!
House number G-4. On the fifth floor.
I need a small favor.
Please ask!
I want a broomstick.
Just one?
Yes. Just one.
I'll send it over!
Can you deliver it yourself?
Please hurry. I'm waiting!
I'm on my way!
Hey! Get a fresh broomstick! -Yes sir!
Come on over!
Here you go sir.
Should I deliver it? -I'll do it myself.
You mind your business. I'll be right back.
What's up Perumal? You look like a bat-wielding Virat Kohli!
Nothing like that. Least I could do for an old person who asked for this.
Why are you walking awkwardly? -Joint pain!
If you kneel in the wrong places... -See you later.
Oh my goodness!
Five. Five!
You'll be back by 5:00 in the evening?
No. Floors. Five floors!
No. There are only four floors here.
Do you want this? -No need! Already got one.
Wonderful. Keep it!
I have a stomachache sir. I need to go to my hometown!
You just took time off last week to go there!
That was for back pain sir!
Tell me Viji!
What is it? Are you unwell?
Yes sir. My stomach hurts!
Quiet! No dear...
Why don't you go meet Dr. Raghavan?
What I need...
...is Dr. Balu!
Only he knows my temperature...
...my pulse, my heartbeat...
He knows it all!
If Dr. Balu were to come and gently touch my hand...
...all would be cured!
With just one touch?
They're calling you inside.
They want to see me.
So?
You won't come here huh?
I'm coming! -Please hurry!
I'm waiting!
I'm on my way!
Hey naughty wife!'
Come to me O naughty wife!'
You lit a fire within me when you called me baby!'
Do not stand so cold when I come to you!'
Were you the one who actually spoke those words?'
Were you the one who set me afire in desire?'
Were you the one who heightened this intoxication?'
Why were you the one who deceived me so?'
My work is ruined!'
That is all because of you!'
Turned on in broad daylight!'
In an empty home!'
Hey naughty wife!'
Come to me O naughty wife!'
You lit a fire within me when you called me baby!'
Do not stand so cold when I come to you!'
Sari-clad mannequins seem to smile at me!'
How shall I tell the tale of how I stood drooling at them?'
I lie drenched in sweat with this sweet breeze swirling around!'
My heart goes for a spin when your voice strikes my ears!
Those silky and milky words that spring from your lips...'
...create all kinds of ruckus in me!'
After calling for me oh so sexily and 'chic'sily...'
...why assume this shy and coy disguise dear girl?'
Am I but a naughty wife?'
Am I but a naughty wife, my sweetheart?'
Was I the one who lit a fire within by calling you?'
Why stare at me so my dear?'
Indeed I am the one who spoke those words!'
Indeed I am the one who set you afire in desire!'
Indeed I am the one who heightened this intoxication!'
Indeed I am the one who is testing you!'
Hey naughty wife!'
Come to me O naughty wife!'
Was I the one who lit a fire within by calling you?'
Why stare at me so my dear?'
I'll check who it is. -Wait!
If you do it, you'd just ramble on and on!
What are you doing here Balu?
What brings you here at this hour aunty?
You make it sound like I came at midnight!
Welcome aunty! -Hello Viji!
I made lentil curry powder. New recipe!
Try it. If it's tasty, we can add it to the product list right?
Sure thing. -Why bother aunty...
I mean, you can chill with your husband's pension and rent money.
The pension and rent money you mentioned are for sustenance. What about the heart?
Doing stuff like this is what keeps me happy.
Also, when something you love becomes your work, it's terrific.
It's not the case with everyone.
I must keep working. Got so used to it!
If I remain stuck at home after my husband passes away...
...would I have met folks like you?
That's true. But, showing up with lentil curry powder at this hour...
...seems like a hassle.
No hassle for me at all! Listen to me.
I need to discuss some new recipes with Viji right now.
Don't barge in on us like a bear.
Give me some coffee Viji.
A bear? Me?
This is awesome man! -Tear him apart!
Beat the hell out of him! -That is Kronos!
He's Kratos! -What are you doing?
Destroy him!
Kratos! Your death will not be a gentle one!
Just for once, let me have a go on this.
I can't give it man. This is very expensive.
If my dad sees it, he'll scold me.
He's showing off too much! -We must buy one too!
My dad will kick me if I ask him for it.
No buddy. We must buy one too.
Neither 'later' nor 'tomorrow' will ever come!
Do whatever your heart tells you right away, right now, today!
Do not put it off for anyone or anything!
I've been in the industry for fifty years. Annapurani papadums are famous!
This is Vijayalakshmi ma'am...
I'm in a meeting. I'll call you back.
I get it. As you asked for a popular tune for your advertisement...
...we've picked the song 'Aaluma Doluma'.
No problem with that!
Anirudh is my distant relative!
Is that so? Then it's all settled!
Here are the lyrics.
Aaluma Doluma, look at these papadums... -Sing it!
Aaluma Doluma, look at these papadums my belle!'
Annapurani papadums are the best!'
To dazzle your nights...
I said I was in a meeting didn't I? I'll call back!
Sounds good, but the music seems a little flat.
You must ask Anirudh about that!
After the first line,"Appilithi Peeruma"... -What? "Appilithi Peeruma"?
Four counts. I'll create some magic.
How? You'll pull a rabbit out of a hat eh?
Aaluma Doluma, look at these papadums my belle!'
Annapurani papadums are the best!'
Awesome! Feels like a spark in the dark!
A small request. 'Crunchy crunchy Annapurani papadums'!
This is our tagline!
It would be awesome only when 'crunchy crunchy' is included!
Crunchy crunchy papadums...
It's not syncing well with our lyric metre.
Try it! A papadum is delicious only when it is crunchy right?
Aaluma Doluma, look at these papadums my belle!'
Crunchy crunchy Annapurani is the best!'
The word 'papadum' is missing!
A crow took it away!
A crow took away the papadum you sap!
I am such a great lyricist! And you want me to write songs for papadums?
He looks like a soft papadum himself! Want it crunchy eh?
Rub oil in your stomach and lie on the terrace! You'll get crunchy!
Down the drain I may go writing about my impoverished friends...
...but I will not write about this imbecile's papadums!
My pen will not dance to the tunes of your money!
For it is not ink that swirls in my pen.
It is the blood of truth!
This is your job Krishna!
Even a dog can do this job!
The rest of my days will be for a greater cause!
O bonsai primates! Hear my new commandments!
Do not back down! Get angry!
There is nothing to lose! Strike down like a spear!
Shut up!
I am a wild animal!
You cannot tame me! I'm leaving!
Raw mango paste. Anything else?
Ah yes. Citron!
Where's Lalitha? -I don't know.
Her mother-in-law is unwell.
She's praying to Lord Mari as to when that old lady would bite it!
Stop talking like that!
Ask her if you don't believe me!
Where is Mr. Varadarajan?
Why should I care where he is? Give me my items!
Vathakuzhambu right? Here it is.
Vathakuzhambu mix. Care to try it?
Think you can place it on my scooter?
It's just a bottle! She didn't keep a bomb in your scooter!
Mind your own business!
I've applied for a bank loan of 350 crores! Once I get it, I'll mind my business!
Even a donkey won't laugh at this!
If you can't laugh, just admit it and get lost!
What the hell are you saying? -Why the hell are you staying here?
Buy some land in the Amazon rainforest and live there!
You don't need to say where I must stay!
Am I supposed to get Sage Kripananda Warrier to say it?
Please be quiet!
It was wrong of me to keep it over here. I'm very sorry.
Today a 'vathakuzhambu' bottle. Tomorrow, the stove you made it on!
And I should just let it pass?
One must act mature!
He and his damn head! It has neither hair nor brains!
We have met once before. -Is that so?
You accompanied me when I went for my driver's license.
Oh right! I knew you seemed familiar!
You were a young kid back then. What do you do now?
I do one thing.
Get me the sales reports, the client list...
...and the outstanding account report right away.
I'll have it ready... -I need it in an hour.
No Sandeep. That's...
No sir. That's... a huge task. It can't be finished in an hour.
It'll take two days. -What? Two days?
I don't have that much time.
You know what? I really really love filter coffee.
But I only drink instant coffee.
Why? Because everything should be quick!
So go and get the records as soon as possible!
Also be sure to update it yourself Balu.
If not, you won't be able to travel with me...
...and will remain still in one place.
Also, this room isn't suitable for me. I'll use your cabin.
Take a table at the admin... -There's no space there.
Make the space! Go and vacate your cabin!
Get going! Hurry!
Show me your school handbook! Haven't seen it in days!
I left it at school!
You always say that! I'll come to school tomorrow!
I know how to deceive too!
He spoke neither to the customer care nor us today mom!
You know you can't handle it right? So why should you drink?
Sorry Viji.
I didn't feel so good. That damn kid!
Now he is my boss. Big boss in fact!
I helped him get his license. Now he's driving me crazy!
He asked me to vacate my cabin Viji!
He's a mushroom that sprouted in yesterday's rain.
Just a 'mushroom manchurian'!
How much have I slogged for this company?
Did I take a single day off?
Alright.
Go and sleep. We'll talk in the morning.
Lie down. -It isn't morning now huh?
I bathed right? So thought it was morning.
Viji! We'll buy taxi cabs!
Five of them!
Alright. Now sleep! -I'll drive all five of them!
But I'll never give that brat Sandeep a ride!
Maybe I'll give the old man one.
Vijayalakshmi Travels.
Welcome! We have a ladies section. Want to see?
No! I came after seeing this job advert.
You've come for the receptionist job? -Yes.
Have you worked anywhere before this?
No. But I can do it.
You're pregnant huh? -Yes.
Aaluma Doluma, look at these papadums my belle!'
Annapurani alone signifies crunchy crunchy papadums!'
Why are you here?
Why else Maria? Office. Job.
What? This godforsaken job?
Still haven't forgotten yesterday's outburst huh?
I forgot it then and there! It's best to forget what's not good right away.
I even corrected that papadum song. Sang it on the way here.
Say it aloud!
You screamed so much yesterday! Do it again right now!
So that everyone can hear you! Apologise!
What was that? "Even a dog can do this job!"
You're suited only for dreaming!
In terms of work, you're nothing!
Remember your situation when you came to me for a job?
I gave you this job because you were a friend!
What did you do? You embarrassed me and made me look like an idiot!
As a poet I got a little emotional.
Then I thought about it.
The same Kannadasan who wrote trivial lines wrote deep philosophy!
Remain a poet! Write poems in books that no one reads!
Then post an angry status on Facebook that no one reads too!
Get out of here!
If I want to, I can create ten people like you!
Remember that sari-clad woman with the cooker yesterday?
I can even train her!
If I talk to the owner, he'll give his nod.
Is he the owner?
No! You can start work tomorrow!
But you cannot wear saris. Only tracksuits.
Come over here.
A lot of men come to this gym.
Therefore, if you wear a sari like this, they'll keep ogling at you.
You wear tracksuits don't you?
Like Amala in 'Agni Natchathiram'? Sure! -Alright!
She had the desire to succeed!
Look at this!
So many missed calls and text messages, all saying that she can do this!
A sari-clad aunty!
Don't think this job is a cakewalk.
Handling ladies is a very difficult task!
Instead of working out, they'll keep chatting!
Then they'll complain to us that their hips are still heavy!
Just a minute.
Viji, this is Maria speaking, from Hello FM.
Yes ma'am? -Where are you now?
I'm at... the gym right now.
What you spoke in the audition that day...
Can you speak those lines once again?
Right now? -Yes.
To dazzle your nights...
...to sweeten your solitude...
...to pour out your personal problems...
...come talk to me!
Can you come over to the studio right away?
Yes ma'am!
In order to find out what type of problems will be discussed...
...on a late night show, we conducted a survey with our listeners.
This is one such call. Play it Krishna.
Listen carefully Viji.
Greetings. My name is Anthony.
I work as an engine driver at the Railways.
Get a good salary, and a lot of perks.
Family is well too.
But I'm not happy.
I can't even remember the last time I slept peacefully.
The conscience of a man who killed many won't let him sleep right?
That's the case with me.
In the past ten years, I have witnessed around fifty suicides.
Even last week, when crossing the Andhra Pradesh border...
...a man suddenly came on to the track.
As I watched...
...he uttered one last prayer and laid down on the track.
I couldn't do anything about it.
Watching all of this...
...makes me feel partly responsible for these deaths too.
When I come home and close my eyes...
...these deaths are all I see.
I can't even act normally around my wife.
I don't know how to make her understand my problems.
The thought of going to work frightens me.
I... love travelling by train.
Instead of sleeping, I'd stare out the window all night long.
But... for the folks up front at the engine...
...I never once considered that they face such a problem.
So, if you were to talk to this caller as an RJ, how would you speak to him?
Me?
As an RJ?
Show her how it's done Krishna.
Watch carefully.
No laughing!
His words are still stuck in my heart.
Even if you tell me to laugh, I can't do it.
Why do you think you're all alone in that engine room?
I'm right next to you! It's just us there!
Leaning upon one another...
...we watch the moon outside.
Good grief!
What's wrong?
Is this how I should speak?
This is a late night show! This is how it has to be done!
He's talking about such a serious problem!
Is this how we respond to him? -How else do we do it?
Alright. Show us how you would respond to something like this.
What is this Maria? -It's okay. Let her try.
I understand your situation.
So far you've only seen the deaths of fifty people.
But you're not responsible for it.
They decided to end their lives.
But those who wish to live their lives...
...those who seek out new careers...
...those who visit their families...
...those who are newly wed and go on their honeymoon...
...with so many dreams, how many people travel in your train?
In these past ten years...
...how many lakhs of people...
...have you safely taken to their destinations?
After travelling long distances...
...when they reach their destination...
...without even realizing it...
...their hearts are content.
They break into a smile.
That is the thanks they're telling you.
Think only about that when you go home.
Your heart will feel the joy.
Also, for those who travel alone like you...
...there's someone in town for you.
Ilaiyaraaja.
Listen to his songs as you travel. All will be well.
This is the time for silence.'
What could be the burden in the young heart?'
Melodies fill the heart...'
Silence fill the lips.'
Why is it so?'
Ask away!'
Want to become a RJ?
Starting tomorrow, for the next ten days, you must come for training. Can you?
This is a late night show. So you must come at 10:00. Is that okay?
But ma'am...
...I didn't even complete school.
Is that okay?
Here she comes!'
Here comes Vijayalakshmi!'
Here she comes!' -Hi! I'm Vijayalakshmi!
Here comes Vijayalakshmi!' -I'm an RJ!
Here she comes!'
Here comes Vijayalakshmi!'
What's wrong Balu? You've never seen the sea before!
Did you agree to do it? -Yes.
You could've asked me about it!
How many times did I call? You didn't answer the phone!
So? You could've said you'd decide after discussing at home.
I don't know. The joy of landing a job made me say 'yes'.
What's wrong Balu? Did you not say...
...that I could go for a job after Siddhu grew up?
I did! But will the job timing work for us?
Why not? I need to go there only at 10:00 pm.
Maximum two hours of work. I'll go only after Siddhu sleeps.
It's the kind of work I like.
The salary will be Rs. 25,000 minimum.
Rs. 25,000?
I think they're playing a prank on you.
Having slogged for 12 hours for so many years...
So I mustn't go to work right?
I need to go home and cook. Let's go.
You'll play with the phone even at the beach?
Hey! Come along!
I said I wasn't going right?
What did I do...
You're taking out your anger on me in this bed aren't you?
This isn't fair. Even you're angry at me.
I'm not even eligible to be angry!
One must pass junior college for it!
You're twisting up stuff and talking!
Here's the thing. Have a seat.
I'm not telling you not to go to work.
You can definitely go for it.
Really? -Really.
What I'm getting at is you go for the first ten days.
See if it suits you. Until then, don't tell anyone about it.
Am I working as a night club dancer?
Not that Viji. It's a new job at very odd hours.
The work culture will be entirely different.
It's for your own good.
Alright... but must I keep this a secret even from my elder sisters?
Especially them!
They're a bigger network than Hello FM!
Listen. Don't agree with me right now only to blurt this out to everyone!
No way! Women always blurt out the secrets of others.
Their own secrets never see the light of day.
That's true. We've talked everything out.
No more anger. Alright?
Also... we've changed the bedsheets.
Shouldn't we celebrate? I'll go bathe!
Everything's fine ma'am. Just one thing...
Late night job. Her safety...
We'll pick her up every night. Once the show's done, we'll drop her home.
So there's no problem with that. She's completely safe.
You mentioned wanting to ask about salary right?
You haven't discussed the salary yet?
The starting salary will be Rs. 30,000.
You're fine right?
I mean, about that salary.
Also, there's another important thing.
In shows like these, we don't use the real names of the RJs.
Therefore, in this show, your name will be...
...Madhu.
Chat with Madhu!
What else would you bestow upon me?'
What else could you bestow my little world I ask you!'
What more would you shower upon me?'
In the splash of the red sky, I fly!'
An opportunity I received to shape my life!'
To fly away from my nest into the deep sky!'
An opportunity I received to shape my life!'
To fly away from my nest into the deep sky!'
I have become a bird that has sprouted wings!'
Here on in, I am the language of the wind!'
I am a different person!'
I'm not her anymore! I am brand new!'
I am a different person!'
I'm not her anymore! Someone else completely!'
Being one with the wind, I swoop in!'
Even that you keep locked, I shall open!'
Without even looking into your eyes, I shall mesmerize you!'
From afar I shall guide you!'
Your heart is mine in the interval between two songs!'
The secrets you keep locked away now belong to me!'
I enter your ears down the streets when you go!'
Sprinkling as sweet as honey through the radio I shall flow!'
What else would you bestow upon me?'
What else could you bestow my little world I ask you!'
What more would you shower upon me?'
In the splash of the red sky I fly!'
An opportunity I received to shape my life!'
To fly away from my nest into the deep sky!'
I have become a bird that has sprouted wings!'
Here on in, I am the language of the wind!'
I am a different person!'
I'm not her anymore! I am brand new!'
I am a different person!'
I'm not her anymore! Someone else completely!'
Today's highlight is the 'Mysore pak' sweet that you brought.
We're staying here tonight. Why don't you join us?
No sister. I can't do that.
Stop showing off! How long has it been since we spent time together?
Am I right Balu?
Auntys! Don't you know? -Know what?
Mom starts her job today!
Today's her first day!
A job? Where?
At Hello FM! -You never told us about this!
The thing is... -She just got the offer.
Once it was confirmed, we were going to tell you all about it.
What kind of job? -Radio Jockey!
Like Anjali? -Anjali's a friend of mine too!
Hear that? RJ Anjali is her friend it seems!
Siddhu! Don't take those!
Do they know that you did not even complete school?
Once you get there, wash your face and get ready.
As usual, don't go to bed by 10:00. -I won't!
Yeah right! You fell asleep at 10:00 on our wedding night!
Yes? -Come along!
Go to bed without playing games on the phone!
I'm feeling sleepy right now mom. You get going!
Dosas in the hot pack.
And chutney is beside it. Chilli powder in the kitchen. Taj Mahal in Agra!
You've told me everything. Now go!
Bye mom!
All the best Viji! -Same to you!
Should I come along?
Don't be afraid sir. I'll drop her back safely.
I've got pepper spray in the car!
Pepper spray? Why?
As a side dish for 'idiyappam'! Get going!
Heading to work for the first time ma'am? -Yes.
What is your name? -Mallika.
How'd you end up in this job? I'm curious.
Oh that! At first my husband bought a car and drove around with it.
Then he bought another.
The driver didn't seem to work out.
So I said I'd drive it.
At first he didn't believe it. Then he went along with it.
So I started driving. Life's been going pretty well since then.
Nothing much. Been 15 minutes since I sprinkled tea powder in milk.
It doesn't have the colour yet. -Why?
That's why I called.
Where was the tea powder?
The tea powder...
...was in the box with the yellow lid!
That's mustard!
Figured! It neither has the colour nor did it exude odor.
It's in a red lid box on the same shelf. -Got it.
My husband's just like that.
He can't tell garlic apart from gourd!
Good night ma'am! -Welcome RJ Madhu!
Had dinner? -No. Doing that now!
If I had eaten earlier, I'd fall asleep. So, I'll eat right now.
Ragi 'dosa' with coconut chutney. Want a taste?
Awesome! -I know!
Krishna! Try some of this!
No... No, thank you.
The thing is... Back in my hometown my mom...
...would make ragi 'kazhi' and country chicken curry.
All of Kumbakarai could feel the aroma! City's cooking can't exude that aroma!
Time's short. Eat quickly. We have a show.
Who's on the line?
My name is Raghavan. -Tell me Raghavan.
I'm 36 years old Madhu. Not married yet.
For about twelve years, I've worked in a shop that sells women's undergarments.
My problem is... -Tell me.
I can't look into any woman in their eye when I speak to them.
Everytime I see a woman, my eyes go straight to their...
The thing is... do you get what I'm saying Madhu?
I understand completely.
That's just it Madhu. Anything that I look at...
...reminds me of a woman's...
For example: An 'idly' (rice cake) An apple. An orange.
A football! The moon!
Anything I see!
Even now, there's a car next to me.
Even its headlights remind me of them!
So does its windshield wipers!
Wait a second.
I understand the case with 'idlies', apples and oranges.
But how car wipers?
I cannot understand the connection.
Simple Madhu. There's one on the left. Another on the right.
Anytime I look at someone...
...I wonder what size they are!
My thoughts go in that direction!
Even if I meet you in person, I won't be able to look at your face when we speak.
Plenty of men have your problem.
Here's what you can do.
Keep looking at people the way you usually do.
Look even harder!
What Madhu? This is a problem by itself! And you are saying this?
Yes. Look even harder.
Behind it is that woman's heart.
Look at it.
If you see a woman selling flowers on the street...
...question why she's doing so in the hot sun.
If you see a woman going to work in a bus, wonder why she's working.
If she doesn't go to work...
...wonder what would happen to her and her family.
Look at every woman who visits your store in the same way!
If a 'parota' shop guy looks at the moon, it will look like a 'parota' to him!
For a guy who wishes to go to the moon, a 'parota' would resemble the moon!
So the eyes are alike.
But sight? Entirely different.
If you start looking like this...
...within a few days, anytime you see a woman...
...you'll look at two other things when you talk to them.
Their eyes.
Wow Madhu! You make it sound so simple!
Problems are always difficult.
Their solutions? Always simple.
I don't know if my problem will be solved.
But speaking with you lifted a huge weight off my shoulders.
Gave me a lot of faith!
I'll definitely try what you suggested.
If I'm cured, I'll meet you in person and look into your eyes and speak!
My name...
...is Mahesh Babu!
I have a problem. -Tell me all about it.
My problem is my beauty!
Even in broad daylight, I can't walk down streets!
Every girl I come across keeps ogling at me!
I feel like asking them if they have never seen a man before!
But before I can, they would ride away on a bike with some guy!
My friends told me this Madhu!
In a certain angle, I resemble Aamir Khan they say!
And in another, I resemble Arvind Swami!
So... is this your problem right now?
No! This isn't my problem!
I'm in love with a girl.
Have been so for ten years!
Who is that lucky girl?
I can't answer your rapid-fire questions! I will say this at my pace only! Listen!
As in the Chembarambakkam dam, I held my love within me for ten years!
Just as I was about to let the water flow out of the dam...
...she ignored me and left. -What happened?
The lake dried up! Just listen to what I say!
She doesn't speak to me anymore.
But my love is true! One day sooner or later...
...she will understand my love!
However long it takes, I will wait for her!
Why did you conceal your feelings from her for so many years?
She had a goal.
To ensure my love won't be an obstacle to her goal...
...I locked up my love...
...and tossed the key far away!
What was her goal?
She wanted to be a leading actress!
She is one right now just as she wished. And she tossed me aside too.
Guess what her new name is?
Deepika Padukone!
Which Deepika Padukone do you mean?
Hey! How many of them do you know?
For there is only one 'Baasha'. And there is only one Deepika!
She is my sweetheart!
It's okay if she changed her name Madhu.
She changed her mind too!
That's what I cannot get over.
My friends would often scold me...
...over why I keep crawling after a girl who doesn't respect me in the least!
What they're saying is true isn't it?
What is true about it?
What the hell is true?
They're talking out of jealousy! And you're taking their side?
Is love but a fever which often comes and goes?
It's like a cancer which comes but once, and never leaves!
I understand your problem.
But you can't compel someone to love you.
For your beauty...
...and your good heart...
...there must be a girl who's born just for you!
You make it sound so simple Madhu!
Now listen to me.
With 'Kolam rice powder', one can only make decorative rangolis.
You can't cook 'dosas' with them! That's why...
Quiet!
Please don't talk like that!
You think I'm a lunatic?
You don't have to tell me what I think!
Just tell me your problem.
What more is there to say? I already said it.
Very well then.
Just play one song for me. That will do.
Which song is it?
Come forth, my beau...
...to the banana grove...
...and play volleyball with me! Come on!
Please play that song for me!
Did you hear the show sir? She rocked it!
Your 'Helloooo' is amazing. See you tomorrow!
Did you hear the show Balu? -Let's talk inside.
What is it Balu? You haven't said anything!
What is this? Random guys call and talk all kinds of things!
How did I talk? Tell me that.
If women were to speak to me like that, would you stay quiet?
Depends on how you respond to them!
My friends at the office...
...will ridicule me.
Why? Is Madhu the name of your wife?
That's true. Others don't know who you are.
But I do.
Is this the type of calls you'd get?
Working women always have to deal with some mischief.
You're just hearing it live on air. That's it.
What would Siddhu think if he heard it?
This show isn't meant for him.
It's enough if you don't say anything!
We're adults. Have you forgotten that?
Haven't finished yet? Hurry up!
This damn thing!
I'm sorry. I slept like a baby.
It's alright.
What did you two eat? -Bread and a pot of jam.
What about lunch?
Gave Siddhu some cash so he could eat at the canteen.
What about you? -Me?
A lot of houses around. I'll beg for food from them and eat!
Why are you talking like this Balu?
Why are you interrogating me? I'm very busy. Call you back later!
What is this dear?
Do women at home get no holidays?
Cook 'vadais' for Diwali. Make 'pongal' for Pongal!
Just happened to sleep in one day!
Was that wrong?
You're saying 'yes'?
You won't understand!
In the next life, you must be born as a women and I must be a pigeon!
Then you'll get it!
Calm down!
Don't complain that I didn't feed you on time too!
Allow us to play too!
Those are really difficult games!
Saw Kronos didn't you?
Wimps like you can't hit him!
If you don't want to give it, just say so. Don't call me a wimp!
You really are a wimp! What else must I call you?
If I had a PlayStation, I'd play on it too!
Only if you had one right? Your dad won't even buy you a mobile!
How would he buy a PlayStation?
See that? 'God of War'! The latest version!
You guys are suited to only play 'Angry Birds' and 'Temple Run'! Wimps!
What's happening here? -Ma'am he did...
We heard your show last night!
How was it? -Horrible!
What kind of show is it? Dirty from the start! Headlights! Wipers!
That guy really has a big problem sister.
Did you become an RJ to speak lewdly like this?
Lewdly?
I spoke correctly! -Balu told us everything!
That you've been repeatedly saying this thing!
Just that they called this morning...
I told them what you said.
Why glare at him? He just said what you said!
No I...
Alright. You spoke correctly.
But none of your callers did!
Why not? Does everyone in your office speak respectfully?
Didn't you complain that an auditor spoke lewdly?
I didn't give my number and ask them to speak lewdly!
It's not my number they're calling to. Nor is it my name on the show!
Why do a job that you can't openly talk about?
Why do you look at everything so negatively?
This is just acting! -It won't work for us!
Our family has a certain reputation!
What did I do wrong?
They gave life to someone who came to pick up a cooker.
Can I not live it?
Is this the only job in the world?
Is there no respectable job between decent hours?
Which era are you in?
Do you know who picks me up and drops me home?
A woman!
An airhostess next door!
She travels the world and returns home after hours!
How about Saroja aunty?
She can sit doing nothing if she wanted to!
But doesn't she work hard at all times to keep herself content?
Or hell! Don't you go out of town for bank audits?
We do respectable jobs! We don't talk to lowlifes!
Try talking to you and you won't shut up! -You can't walk away like this!
Why did you walk away mid-conversation?
Are you on their side or mine?
Where are you heading now?
It's time Balu. Cab's almost here.
Chapatis are in the hot pack. Siddhu's asleep.
They're talking to you! -Hey Viji!
After all, we said if you still want that job go ahead.
If there's any problem tomorrow, you'll crawl back to us!
I sure will! Aren't you my family?
Where else would I go?
Hello? Madhu? -Tell me.
Won't you ask me what problem I have?
What is your problem?
You are!
Since I heard your voice, I can't fall asleep!
Don't misunderstand me as I'm drunk talking!
You said I could talk with 'Madhu' (booze).
Hence, I'm doing just that.
Your voice itself is so stimulating.
I keep imagining that you look even hotter in person!
The thought of you makes me want to do so many things!
Same here. Upon hearing your voice...
...I too wish to do many things!
Really? -Indeed!
But Animal Welfare won't permit it!
You've had a lot to drink.
Reach home safely.
And if a garbage truck comes your way...
...hide.
If not, they'll rake you up and toss you in!
It's been eighteen years!
Since eating 'kazhi'?
Since I cried.
You on your sky...'
...with a moon just for you!'
You on your path...'
...with a breeze just for you!'
Me in my drizzle...'
...with my sheltered silences.'
Me in our nest...'
...with songs the solace to my loneliness!'
Hiding behind that smile of yours stands the sadness of many.'
A rain you became to many an unknown heart...'
...but why did you forget my thirst and fade away?'
Go my love...'
Forgetting me, chasing your dreams…'
Go my love...'
Adorning new wings, shrugging your burdens...'
Go my love...'
Forgetting me chasing your dreams…'
Go my love...'
Adorning new wings, shrugging your burdens...'
Go my love...'
Hello Madhu? Do you recognize my voice?
Mahesh Babu?
Awesome Madhu!
See that? Only once have I spoken to you.
And you remember it perfectly!
I've spoken to her many times!
But she forgot me!
Still haven't forgotten her?
Neither will I forget her, nor will I think about her again!
All my friends said that she was in love with another guy.
But I didn't believe that.
But last week I saw them on Facebook...
…sporting turbans and joyfully eating 'chapatis' in some temple in the north!
Like a bridge constructed by a corrupt politician...
...my heart broke into pieces!
That's when I remembered what you told me. -What was that?
Let your love fly away like a butterfly!
If it returns to you, it's yours!
If not, forget it you said!
Did I say that?
Hey! Weren't you the one who told me...
...that you can't compel someone to love you? Think hard!
I just gave it a poetic touch!
Then I sat by myself for a while and thought about it.
Made a decision too!
I have bulldozed the temple that I built within my heart!
Thank you very much Madhu!
You've made the right decision!
But if you wait patiently...
...you will find the girl who was born for you like I said!
She is born indeed!
I've seen her too!
Really? Who is she?
Her name...
...is Keerthy Suresh!
She avoided me because she was an actress right?
So, I'm going to infuriate her by marrying another actress!
Keerthy Suresh is the one meant for me!
First, I'm going to take Suresh out!
Oh no!
Nothing to worry dear.
I'm going to remove 'Suresh' from her name and add mine to it!
Do you think this is possible?
Can I tell you one thing Madhu?
When Alexander stated his wish to conquer the world...
...his cackling uncle couldn't stop laughing!
Didn't Alexander succeed?
In the same manner, I will succeed in love as well as life!
As soon as I do, I will call you!
But before I do, play a song from the film 'Rajini Murugan'...
I have my eyes on you! You're meant to be my wife!'
Can you please play that song for me?
He's just blabbering on the phone.
Nowadays, folks blabber even at press meets!
Careful dad!
Here you go ma'am! So careless!
You called for me sir?
An important task Balu. -Tell me sir.
Our family is moving to a new house.
Plumbing and pest control work is going on there.
It needs to be supervised. -I'll send over an office boy.
An office boy? He doesn't know anything. You go and take care of it.
Me? -Yes!
I have work to do here. Need to make some payments.
I'll handle it. Give me that cheque book and please leave immediately!
I'm sending someone right now.
He'll be there in about thirty minutes.
Why aren't you home yet? What are you doing?
I'm cleaning a sewer!
What? Stop kidding around! It's almost time for me to leave!
Can you take the night off? I have a critical task right now.
Oh no! I can't do that! A celebrity's coming to the studio today!
Why?
He's a special guest on my show. I'm running late!
Alright. Get going. -"Get going"?
What about Siddhu?
What do I do with him?
Sell him off on OLX!
Come along!
This is RJ 'Madhu' Vijayalakshmi. The star of our show.
Sorry I'm late.
Late? You're the first person to ever use that line on me!
I've been listening to your show.
I thought it was a husky voice. Turns out it's a whisky voice!
Just kidding. -This is my son Siddhu.
How old are you? -I'm eleven.
Eleven? You're older than me?
He's a big fan.
You may be my fan, but I'm your mother's fan.
Go ahead. What's your name?
My name is Neelakandan.
Actor Simbu is part of tonight's show.
Would you like to speak to him?
No, thank you.
I wish to speak to you.
Tell me.
I listen to your show every day.
I used to listen to it just for the songs.
Now, I listen to it just for you.
My wife's name...
...is Madhuravalli.
I used to call her 'Madhu'.
Is she next to you right now?
No.
It's been two years since she passed away.
Since she's been gone...
...I became a different man.
I have become a bitter person.
If anyone were to chat with me in a jovial and friendly manner...
...I began to hate that.
The thing is...
As my Madhu parted so suddenly...
...I've been angry at her.
I think I'm taking out that anger on everyone else.
Here's the reason why I called you.
Everytime I listen to your show...
...I feel like my Madhu is still by my side.
She's just like you too.
A great conversationalist.
Smiles beautifully.
Sings like a dream.
The two of us would even sing together.
How did your Madhu affectionately call you?
She didn't call me by name.
But when the two of us were alone together...
...she'd call me 'Neelu'.
What kind of songs did the two of you sing together?
Mostly old songs.
Specifically one song.
I don't know if you know it.
Tell me Neelu.
Where goes the river...
Where goes the river?'
Sing along Neelu!
Where goes the river?'
In search of the sea!'
Where goes the day?'
In search of the night!'
Where goes the moon?'
In search of a flower!'
Where did the memories go?'
In search of love!'
Your Madhu hasn't gone anywhere.
She's still by your side.
As she always wanted...
...always be happy and smiling...
...and friendly to others.
If you were to do so, your Madhu would be happy too.
Therefore starting tomorrow, you must be what she wanted you to be.
Anytime you want to speak to your Madhu...
...just call me.
We'll talk and sing!
When we have it rough...
...it is said that God sends someone to help us.
At this moment, I think he sent you.
Nowadays, the folks we loved dearly...
...block us out and go about their lives after a break up.
Even that can be handled.
But when there's no one around to share our grief?
That is the worst thing imaginable in life.
I've experienced it multiple times.
Do you know the most commonly used word in this world?
Hello.
But the way you say it?
Extraordinary!
My autograph? -Please! Yours indeed!
Where goes the river? In search of the sea!'
Where goes the day? In search of the night!'
What? Doesn't it sound good? No applause?
Give me your autograph! Don't forget it.
Dad! Dad! -The septic tank has been opened!
Wash basin taps have been changed!
Dad!
He's awesome in person dad!
Spoke very jovially too.
So your mom took a picture with him too?
No! He took a picture with mom and got an autograph from her!
Awesome Viji! Keep it as your screensaver!
Why? I've kept the picture of my hero as my screensaver!
Hero? Right now I'm a comedian!
I've kept a glass of milk in your room. Drink it and sleep.
Are you angry because of this photo?
I'm not angry at all.
If you talk like this once more, it won't be good!
I think I'll go shopping after this meeting.
Your husband didn't come Padma? -Still asleep!
He's gotten old right? It's a little hard, but yes.
It's just an association meeting Vadivu. You seem dressed for a royal wedding!
And that huge dot on your head? Trying to be a 'Kunnakodi' lookalike?
Quiet! When do I ever get to wear these? -That's true!
Hello Viji! Did Balu not come? -He'll join in a little later.
We can get going. -Alright then.
Oh no! The Scrooge is here!
Don't be alarmed! I didn't come here to pick a fight!
In fact, I am here to seek your forgiveness.
Picking fights for so long over such minor issues...
...I've really hurt all of you.
I sincerely apologise to you all for that.
Give me your hand!
Why do you all look so dumbstruck?
I understand.
But I really meant what I said.
Last night...
...a miracle happened.
It made me a new man.
You're all going to the association meeting right?
I'll join you in another ten minutes okay?
Where goes the river? In search of the sea!'
Look at this Sarathy! Everything is wrong with it!
I'll look into it... -As if!
Why didn't you deal with...
Balu! Read this!
Read it!
We have received the email regarding...
We regret to inform you...
..."that we will be terminating our contract with your company!"
Twenty five lakhs worth of business!
Know how many zeroes it has?
Let's go inside and talk sir.
Why? Would you lose respect if we do it here?
No sir. You personally dealt with that client.
Regarding that proposal I... -So it's my fault huh?
You didn't do your job properly and you are pointing fingers at me?
Is this what you did for twelve years?
Why are you glaring Balu?
Eyes down!
I need to ask you something. -What is it?
Just that if I had anchored this show, I'd have fed plenty of beasts.
But you bring out the child in everyone.
You changed the face of the show. How Viji?
I just speak from the heart.
I don't know what to say.
My sister often asked me this.
About how only the 'puris' I make are puffy.
How would you respond?
I'd say I have no idea.
But when I cook 'puris', it will be puffy for sure!
Shall we begin?
Who's on the line?
There's no need for names.
I'm calling from Chromepet.
My problem is...
...that there's no one here to ask what my problem is.
Myself. My wife. Our only son.
My world is very small, but it is very beautiful.
Not a day went by when I didn't laugh.
We'd all eat dinner together.
After that, she and I would talk for an hour.
Once she starts talking, she won't stop.
And I'd listen to it tirelessly.
The biggest boon I received in my life...
...are those times.
Now it's been so long since we laughed together!
She started going to work.
That too at night.
When I return home from work...
...she'd be getting ready to leave for her job.
And I'd be asleep by the time she's back home.
She loves that job.
She's happy.
Me? I have several problems.
Why do I go to work?
Why am I chewed out by random people?
What am I chasing?
So many questions!
I can't even talk to her about them.
So I'm expressing this through your show.
I can understand your problem...
You don't have to say anything.
Listening will suffice.
And after that...
...there's a song that both of us sing.
If you could play it...
...I'll be very happy.
What song is it?
Last night... My goodness!
To others, it's an item song.
But to us...
Play it. She'll understand.
Why?
The Vikatan awards have named your show as the Best Radio Show!
It's only been a month since this show began.
Such a huge reach acquired so quickly! Such a huge award!
My mother's 'jimikki' earrings were stolen by my father!'
My father's brandy bottle was finished by my mother!'
When shoals of fish and the dance of warriors came as one...'
...someone forgot how they were put down by shame!'
Do not reel off to the angry sea wind!'
You brave commander of the 'Moral' army!'
My mother's 'jimikki' earrings were stolen by my father!'
My father's brandy bottle was finished by my mother!'
My mother's 'jimikki' earrings were stolen by my father!'
My father's brandy bottle was finished by my mother!'
When a prawn jumps, it might reach the knee first!'
When it jumps again, the cooking pan it shall hit!'
Do not ridicule us!'
Do not play your tricks on us!'
The mask is gone! Don a new role!'
When we went with a cross to the Malayattur church...'
...you entered as a fierce mountain, but scurried away like a mouse!'
Pitter-patters comes down the drizzle you silly fish!'
My mother's 'jimikki' earrings were stolen by my father!'
My father's brandy bottle was finished by my mother!'
My mother's 'jimikki' earrings were stolen by my father!'
My father's brandy bottle was finished by my mother!'
Because of what I said on the phone, you came home later than usual?
It's not that Balu.
My show received an award. So there was a small party at the office.
That's why I couldn't leave. -Party huh?
This would've been there?
No it wasn't. -Get used to that too!
What is this Balu?
Why do you want to fight in the little time that we have together?
Not at all!
Could I ever fight with you?
A guy chews me out for a mistake I did not commit.
I couldn't even fight against that!
Just quit this damn job Balu!
And what then?
You're earning a living now. Aren't you madam?
I can live off your salary!
Why do you talk like this Balu?
After you quit, let's start a business together.
Equal partnership!
You've become a prominent person!
I feel very proud of you!
Anything I say right now will seem wrong to you.
We'll talk in the morning.
In two days, I'll get my first salary!
With it I must buy something for you! What do you want? Tell me!
What I want cannot be bought in stores ma'am.
Go and sleep.
Why is it so heavy? We'd only carry four books!
That's why you flunked!
Stop talking like your grandpa! -Where's my phone?
Don't know. It must be here.
Hey! Did you take it? -No mom!
If you find it, call me at work. I'll send a guy to pick it up.
Alright. Get going! -Come along!
I never owned a car to begin with!
You've driven one for years!
Now you don't have a car!
Why not buy a new one?
Oh stop it!
To hell with your analogies!
Folks will laugh at this!
What's so funny about it?
Viji's coming this way. Let's ask her!
Hold on. Viji! Come over here!
Take a call on this yourself.
What's the problem here? -Nothing major!
He lost his wife after years of marriage and is very lonely.
When I asked him to get re-married...
...he says folks would laugh at him!
Tell us why this is a matter to laugh!
Don't make this worse Murthy!
He's just pulling m leg. You go ahead with your day.
He didn't say anything wrong. -There you go!
What is this dear?
At this age, where do I look for a lady? Who'd want to marry me...
Look in a reality show like actor Arya does!
You can't look for them. It will come by itself.
Out of the blue, you might come across someone you like.
And when you do see them, you'd know it.
A bulb would go off above you.
You'd hear bells chime.
You'd see the rest of your life before your eyes.
It's enough if the search is within.
The companionship you have during youth...
...is nothing to the one you have in old age.
If you find another companion...
...your wife's soul will definitely be happy.
We'll be happy too.
Hey Murthy...
That voice... -Is that important right now?
If a bulb goes off over your head, this entire complex will be illuminated!
I can see it so clearly!
Check if this is your phone.
Yes. Just this morning, I was looking all over for it at home!
Is this your signature?
Your son and a friend of his...
What's his name? Ashwin right?
Both of them are partners.
He stole your phone.
Ashwin stole two phones from his house.
As if that was not enough...
...they stole the math teacher's phone too!
When they went to sell them, the shopkeeper felt something fishy.
He called the school.
You know why they did it?
Why don't you speak up? Tell them boy.
To buy a PlayStation.
There are complaints every day of your son sleeping in class.
When asked why, we learned he stays up all night...
...to play games. That too in your phone!
We even wrote to you about this in his handbook.
What's keeping you from paying attention to what your son does at home?
You three live in the same house right?
This gaming addiction is a big problem!
That's what has left him in this state!
But stealing?
From where did he learn to steal?
You might hold this school partly accountable for it.
He is suspended.
I'll ensure it doesn't happen again...
I swear I'll see to it this never repeats. -I'm sorry.
Forgive him this one time! He's just a kid!
Sorry. I can't do it. -Please do it for us.
Get in!
Get over here!
Why did you steal?
Why did you do it? -For a PlayStation...
PlayStation for you, radio station for your mom!
I'll just get out of here! Constant trouble at office and home!
Tell me the truth! Who are you hanging out with?
I'm sorry... -When did you start this habit?
I didn't mean to do it... -What haven't I done for you?
Forge my signature will you? -I'm sorry!
Heard the Principal right? You've been suspended!
Is this why I send you to school?
No school for you anymore! -I won't do it again!
Just stay at home!
I'll break your hands and legs!
I won't do this again!
I must strike your mother for raising you like this!
It hurts!
Neither you nor your mom ever listen to me! Look at how she's raised you!
Pack up your things and get going Siddhu.
No dad. I'll stay here!
If you're here, you won't study properly!
Stay in our house for a while!
I won't go anywhere! I'll stay right here! Mom!
Where do you want him to go?
Let him study in our house for a while.
Why? My son stays with me!
Don't talk nonsense! He'll get better only if he stays there!
What are you saying Balu? What did you tell that Principal at school?
You swore that you'd ensure this wouldn't happen again.
What can I do? You have no time to pay attention to him!
What did I not pay attention to?
You don't take care of him properly!
Once I leave, you don't even look in on him!
Oh so all of this is my fault now?
All because of this wretched job!
We repeatedly told you that it'll lead to trouble!
There is no trouble in my house!
How else did so much trouble come about?
First, you resign from that job. Please.
Why must I resign?
He's just a kid who unknowingly made a mistake!
What does that have to do with my job?
I'm not doing this job for the salary alone!
I'm doing it for my happiness!
Just this one time, please understand me dad!
You always take their side!
Am I not your daughter too?
Why are you creating a drama out of this?
I'm creating a drama?
You always belittle me for sitting idle at home!
Now that I'm working, you keep asking me to quit!
Had you taken a respectable job, why would we ask you to quit?
What did I do to make you lose respect?
Isn't it shameful to talk seductively to strangers?
Shameful?
I'll make this clear to all of you.
My job is important to me.
So is my son!
I won't give either of them up for anyone!
Come along!
Any problem Viji?
No. -Shall we get started?
Your husband's calling. He says it's urgent!
My son is missing ma'am!
What happened?
All those changes... All these miles...'
My heart tries to accept!'
Nights without you... Chained without love...'
Why does our bond seem to slip?'
No, this isn’t forever. just a small tremor.
No this isn’t a mountain, just a momentary curtain.'
A mere dream is what these moments are!'
Proclaim so with a kiss and pushing me aside...'
Go my love...'
Forgetting me chasing your dreams…'
Go my love...'
Adorning new wings, shrugging away your burdens…'
Go my love...'
Forgetting me chasing your dreams…'
Go my love...'
Adorning new wings, shrugging away your burdens…'
Go my love...'
A water bottle please.
I'm sorry dad.
It was wrong of me to steal your phone.
I didn't mean to do it.
Don't scold mom for it everyone.
I can't stay at my aunt's house.
She keeps scolding mom all the time!
Mom's a good person dad.
A really good person.
You're a good man too.
I'm the only one who is bad.
I'm leaving.
Sorry dad. Sorry mom.
I checked the houses of all his friends.
No one has seen him. -She isn't eating.
We've searched every possible place. -She can't stop crying.
Let's wait. He'll definitely turn up! -I don't understand.
Siddhu! Where did you go?
I'm sorry dad.
He was at the school sir.
He was crying over the grief of being suspended.
What is this dear?
Thanks a lot sir.
Such things are common at his age. All will be well sir.
I'm sorry mom. I won't do this again.
Won't you have dinner?
What is it Viji?
I can't do this show anymore ma'am.
That day...
...in this very room...
...I told you I could do it.
You trusted me too.
But a lot of things have happened.
I'm forced to apologise to the people who believed in me.
I'm forced to agree with those who didn't believe in me.
It's a real blessing to do something you love.
I don't have it ma'am.
I wish to go back to my small world.
My house.
My cooking.
Bhagyalakshmi.
The advice of my sisters.
Lemon and spoon races.
In lemon and spoon races...
...I've won many prizes ma'am!
I've lost some too.
I haven't cared much about winning or losing.
But not once did the lemon fall down!
But now...
...I'm scared that it might!
By trusting me...
...you took a big chance.
Midway through I'm abandoning you.
I'm sorry.
If you wish to scold me, go right ahead!
You have no idea how much I admire you.
From the day I first met you, your style...
...your wardrobe... your perfume...
I love all of it!
Ladies like you...
...are whom women like me...
...consider a big inspiration!
You continue doing the show. I'll listen to it every day.
No Viji.
You are the right person for this.
Only your 'puris' are puffy!
Do you know how many calls we got in the last two days about you?
Tell her Maria.
That one phone call I had with you that day...
...changed my life. I'm always your fan.
Out of the blue, I'll call in to participate in any contest!
Everyone here are fans of RJ Madhu.
But I am always a fan of Viji.
Even if I haven't been there...
...Haridwar is my favorite place too.
I'll take your leave ma'am.
You won't forget me will you?
I live alone.
A kid in the flat opposite mine...
...often comes to my house without warning!
In the brief time she's there...
...she'd turn my entire apartment upside down!
After I take a look at her mess once she leaves...
...I'd feel that it would've been great if she hung around a little longer.
Just once before you leave...
One last "Hello".
In your style.
How many times must I explain it to you? Aren't you ashamed?
Would you give me a cheque if I was?
Forget a cheque! I'll give you the final settlement!
Why say this ma'am?
At such a low rate, I give you so many varieties of food...
...with no labor charges as I toil away to no end!
You talk without any humanity ma'am!
Couldn't you talk to the management for me?
If I do, I'll lose my job!
Come work for me! I Need someone to chop onions!
For how many folks must food be supplied?
Lunch for thirty people. Dinner for twenty.
Is this for every day? -Yes.
At least give me that job of an RJ!
My Goodness!
What do we do next?
What happened Viji?
Dal Potato or Mushroom or Paneer curry as side dishes with 'chapatis'?
Also curries with mixed vegetables or buttermilk or brinjal?
Rice cakes, rice pancakes 'pongal', 'khichdi', 'idiyappam' and curd rice.
With such variety, I can provide tasty food!
That catering contract!
Can you give it to me ma'am?
I can do it ma'am.
What is it?
Some kind of new idea? -Yes!
This time we go fifty-fifty!
Hello! This is Vijayalakshmi Catering!
For how many people sir? Twenty?
No problem sir. The same building right?
We can do it sir. Definitely.
Devi! I'll leave this here. It's hot!
Just got a new order. -Sure, we'll do it!
Please make it fast!
I'll take care of that. You get going! -Go where?
You got to work tonight! Mallika's car will be here soon!
What?
Seems that Hello FM got a lot of phone calls!
All asking about where Madhu is and when will she be back.
Madhu's husband met Maria to tell her...
...that Madhu would be back tomorrow evening!
Stop kidding around Balu!
Let the past be done with.
No Viji. I don't like seeing you like this.
I am happy!
Truly.
Listen to me Viji.
Not everyone will tell others about their problems!
Everyone talks to you about their problems.
In the same way, not everyone can provide the right encouragement.
It is a natural gift to you!
It shouldn't be wasted in a kitchen!
I will be okay mom. You get going!
See that?
Get going Viji!
No Balu.
You're fine with it now...
But later, if someone talks inappropriately you'd...
You always reply correctly.
Here she comes!'
Here comes Vijayalakshmi!'
