Get him.
What's the case?
Attempt to murder.
What's your name?
He won't speak, it's Subramaniam.
He's from the same area.
He almost killed his son. Scoundrel.
I will tell you, note it down. Put him behind bars.
Sir, he's cruel. He shouldn't be spared.
Until yesterday, my life was not like this.
Karthik!
Kaveri.
Inching towards victory..
Dhoni is batting on 72 and India is on
258 for seven wickets, as you see, Brett Lee starts with a fresh over.
Dhoni, who's playing a captain's innings, gets ready to face him.
Are you ready, Kaveri? - Yes, Dad.
"The sweet singing bird.."
Hurry up, Karthik! - He's still having a bath!
'Brett comes with a bouncer..'
Are you having a bath, or cleaning the bathroom? Hurry up!
Did you see?
He woke up late and moreover
he's been in the bathroom for the last one hour.
He only has cricket on his mind.
Your son is so mischievous and you're always smiling.
If you don't come out now, I won't give you breakfast.
Dhoni comes forward
and he drives the ball, four runs.
Kaveri, uniform!
Put on your uniform after breakfast or it will get soiled.
Okay, Dad.
What's for breakfast? - Fried Idli.
I know, it's Upma Idli.
You give us junk food.
If you want different cuisines, you should've been born rich.
Then you should've given birth to us after becoming rich.
You.. - Oh!
Hey.. what happened?
Nothing, Dad. - What happened?
Oh, no. What happened?
I suffered an injury while playing cricket.
You need to watch out! You're always engrossed in the game.
What if it had hit you elsewhere?
Dad, please stop it.
I bought the shoes just two months ago and you have torn them already.
Hereafter, I'll buy you shoes made of iron.
Dad, coach has advised me to eat two eggs daily.
You have lost focus on studies.
Eggs. Dad!
Sir, take me around on your scooter.
You're getting late for school.
I'll take you around in the evening, okay?
Okay, sir. - Good morning, Subbu. - Good morning, sir.
Today's the 10th, you haven't paid the maintenance fees yet.
I'm running short of money for the month, I'll pay in two days.
What pickle is this? It looks new.
It's special garlic pickle. Would you like to try it?
Put it back.
I have high blood pressure, my daughter-in-law will scold me.
Bring it for the night session. - What session, Grandpa?
Nothing, let's go. - Bye, my dear. - Bye, sir.
Bye. - Bye. - Bye.
Did you sit? - Ask me if I've stood, there's no place to sit.
Sit. - Okay.
Get down.
Bye. - Bye, Dad. - Bye, Dad.
Karthik.. Today's the class test.
Have you completed your chemistry record?
No. I hurt my leg while playing cricket yesterday.
I'd been to the doctor.
You lied to dad yesterday that you had no homework to watch a match.
Be quiet.
Anyways, the teacher will punish me for bad handwriting.
Hey, 'Goggle-boy!'
My name is not 'Goggle-boy', it's Gautham!
You don't stop when I call out your real name.
Brother, I'm going to the classroom.
Have you completed the record? - Yes.
Can I borrow it? - I won't give it to you.
I'll return it. - I won't give it.
Give it to me. - I won't.
I'll beat you. - I won't.. - Karthik, what's happening?
Nothing, teacher, I was just pulling his leg.
Good morning, Mr. Subbu! - Good morning!
Good morning, Subbu! - Good morning!
Make the citron pickle soon, my mother-in-law is pestering me.
It will take a week.
I shall go. - Bye.
Good morning, sir. - Good morning, Subbu.
Good morning, Subbu. - Good morning.
Can I borrow your phone? I told her I'll call her at 10:00 a.m.
Why don't you use your phone?
My wife is very suspicious.
She checks the phone bill every month.
She sometimes opens the phone up too.
Is it the same number, or have you changed it?
I will change when there's a problem
as of now, it's the same number.
There are other employees in the office
why do you trouble only me?
Because you're the only one who doesn't have a wife.
You'd understand my problem.
It's ringing. Why did you disconnect?
I've given a missed call, she'll call back.
It's just 50 paisa per minute, why did you give a missed call?
If everyone uses my phone, won't it become a burden for me?
People usually take advantage of free calls.
I put in a lot of effort to earn money.
Don't get emotional.
I'm only asking for your phone. Give me the phone.
It's ringing..
"My heart sways like a kite, on not seeing you, my dear.."
I work in the same office, I won't run away with the phone.
Give it to me.
Never, I don't trust anybody.
The phone is worth Rs. 2000.
If I give it to you, you'll misuse it.
Sit here and talk.
I'll be romantic over the phone, is that okay?
Enjoy.
Darling, we'll go to the same film this evening.
The theatre won't be crowded
and we can romance there.
Sir, where can I get good shoes at a low price?
Sir, tell me.
Only if you won't ask for money or force me to buy pickle.
I won't, sir.
Sir, where can I get good shoes at a low price?
You don't get good shoes for low price and vice versa.
My mistress is never demanding. - Shut up.
Sir, where can I get good shoes at a low price?
There are various categories of shoes. Formal, casual, sports.
What kind of shoes do you want to buy?
My son tore his cricket shoes. - Then sports shoes.
The starting price would be Rs. 1500.
Oh, Rs.1500. - Rascals! How dare you!
What do you think of me?
Get out of my sight!
Get out! Get out, I say!
What happened, sir? - What happened?
I got them married as they had no one, but they asked for blessings!
You could've blessed the couple. - How can I?
You know, I'm young, I'm still a bachelor.
I'm not old. Why should I bless them?
And you ask me to bless them! Sit down!
Subbu, why did you laugh?
I'm sorry, sir.. - Why do you laugh?
I didn't mean to. I'm extremely sorry, sir.
What's that?
Pickle. - Oh. What's this?
Files.
Why have you kept pickle in there instead of files?
If I have the files before me, I can concentrate more.
Then turn the office to a shop and start selling pickles. - Sir..
Useless fellow.
Calm down, sir. He has a family to lead.
Oh. Sit down..
You want me to spare him because he has a family.
You're indirectly insulting me
saying, I don't have a family and I know nothing about it.
Sir, don't mistake me.
Your horoscope says that you're not destined to get married.
But that day you told me, if I offered prayers to some Raghu
I'd have some chance of getting married.
Sir, it's Lord Rahu, not Raghu.
You're doubting my prediction.
You're not destined to get married.
Oh, I see. Are you cursing me?
What about you?
I became a sub-registrar and you're in the same position.
You're doubting my prediction.
You're not destined to get married.
You're insulting an astrologer who is an expert in 5G.
5G expert?
I have heard of 2G, what's 5G?
Numerology, Astrology, Gemmology, Namology..
Allergy. - Yes, allergy.
Sit down.
Earlier, he had predicted that
Ms. Kanchana would buy a house in three months
but she got divorced in three months.
He expects us to believe his predictions. Stand up.
Shut up and sit down.
Useless fellows.
"My hearts sways like a kite on not seeing you, my love.."
Sorry, sir.. Please.
Subbu! - Yes.
If he is young, what am I? - Do your work.
Come on! That's good! To Karthik!
Good, Karthik. You have to open up your fingers.
Still higher..
Hey, Sundar, concentrate.
Hi, sir! Good evening!
Vishnu, takeover. - Okay, sir.
Hello, sir. What brings you here?
Well, Karthik tore his shoes, I've bought new shoes. - So good.
He deserves it. Cricket comes naturally to him.
He performs well in all the matches.
He has a bright future. - Karthik.
Karthik, come here! - Coming, sir.
Your father has bought new shoes for you. - Shoes?
They're superb. Thanks, Dad.
What about socks?
I will buy that next month.
The shoes will tear by then. Okay, thanks. - Hey..
Hey, Ashwin, new shoes!
Did you hear that? I work so hard and he's so irresponsible.
Sir, he's still a little boy, but he's very focused in cricket.
I don't know what to say. He's crazy about cricket.
I thought training would calm his madness
but I don't think so.
He has public exams next year
please advise him to concentrate on studies also.
He obeys you, please.
I shall leave. - Okay.
Fast! Hit..
Hey, move aside.
Throw.. - Hey..
Hey, guys, let's go to the net!
Go to the net!
All the vegetables are fresh, come and buy them!
I heard the government is investing our provident fund in share market.
Even we can do that. What about Jeeva?
Let's talk about it later. - Okay.
Ma'am, if you break it, others won't buy.
How much do you want? - Half kilo.
That's good. Don't do it again.
Sir, tell me whatever you want, I will give you
don't touch the vegetables.
What do you mean?
How can I buy vegetables without checking?
Tell me the price.
Eggplant, Rs. 40 per kilo, Onion, Rs. 35 per kilo.
Potato, Rs. 30 per kilo.
You'd ask curry leaves and coriander leaves for free
but I won't give you.
That's unfair! - What do you mean?
It's higher than the market rate.
Ma'am, don't buy. - Ma'am, wait..
I better quit my government job and sell vegetables.
He's too much. - I don't want the vegetables.
Ma'am, don't go!
I will give you curry leaves and coriander leaves for free.
Subbu, he's the victim for today.
Prices of vegetables keep increasing, but my salary doesn't.
Isn't there anyone to stop it?
There's nothing we can do about it.
India is surrounded by water on three sides
but debt on all four.
The prices of electronic goods are decreasing.
Buy vegetables! - And the prices of vegetables are increasing.
There's nothing we can do.
Middle class people will always have problems.
Then how do we survive? - Buy vegetables!
You often appear on TV shows, why don't you raise the issue?
It won't make any difference.
The only thing people do is gossip about others.
People who take small bribes, hide their faces in shame.
But the ones involved in huge scams, live luxurious lives.
We people just watch them.
Sir, you know about so many things.
Newspaper costs just Rs. 1, read it
even you will get to know about many things.
I'm going to talk about it on TV next week, don't miss it.
I will surely watch the show. - I think it's going to rain.
Oh, no. There are clothes on the terrace, I will see you later.
That's my..
Spiced chilli.
Where is Kaveri?
She has gone for a special class.
Please send her home. - Okay.
"Oh, Lord, we bow down.."
Hey! Who is..
I slipped because of the mat.
Are you okay? - No..
Fine..
What brings you here?
I need sugar, please. - Okay.
Here it is. Thank you.
Water, please. - Yes.
"We bow down to you, oh, Lord.."
Do you want cold water or..
"He takes care of us.."
My underwear got mixed with your clothes
and you came down before I could ask for it.
Sorry.
'Good footwork and a big one.'
'But India needed this kind of an over'
'especially from this man.'
'Does a lot of damage with the bat.'
'Catch it!'
'Once again, at the deep mid-wicket'
'and he has missed it completely. Four runs.'
Dad, the function for aunt's son is next week. Don't forget.
I remember.
I have to buy clothes for both of you
and gold earrings for my sister's son.
I'm running short of money, but I will buy them very soon.
Dad, buy a new LCD TV, the match seems too small in this one.
Then watch football, the ball is bigger in that.
He only has cricket on his mind.
Dad, you permitted me to watch cricket during dinner.
That doesn't mean you can eat for so long.
Dad, please. Dhoni is on 94, not out.
Okay, but how much did you score in your test?
Dad, don't scold me all the time.
I'm not scolding you. Studies comes first, then, cricket.
Like you score century in cricket, score 80 marks
or at least score 60 marks in your test.
What if I do it?
I will buy you a new bat. - Okay, Dad. - Very good.
You could've directly told him that you won't buy him a bat.
He would study well at least then.
Watch cricket.
'You need to go after that and that's a six.'
Hey! Sixer! Century! Superb!
Hey! Century! Good..
I forgot to give you an abdomen guard, when I came
to the camp, to give you the new shoes.
I already have one. - When shoes can tear, why not this?
It doesn't tear.
You're my only son, you might get hurt. Use this one too.
Dhoni scored a century, wash your hands and go to sleep.
My dear, you too, you had dinner, go to sleep now.
Go to sleep.
Switch off the light and sleep.
I have an important meeting, I need to go.
I know you are going to go drinking.
'Alcohol consumption is injurious to health.'
Why are you laughing? - No reason.
Tell me the reason why you're laughing.
An ordinary man, using branded underwear.
Everyone in the colony is talking about it.
The underwear flew because of the wind.
But how did it fly exactly into Nalini's home?
Was it only the underwear, or did you also fly into her home?
Nalini was on the terrace when I was collecting my clothes
there was a gust of wind.. - Don't lie.
What's going on between the two of you? - What do you mean?
What's going on?
Hey! How dare you!
She's been living alone for the past two years.
Even you're lonely after your wife, Ganga passed away
four years ago. - So?
Nothing wrong in it.
Look, she's a good woman.
What do you mean? Your daughter is always with her.
If you talk rubbish, I shall leave.. - Hey..
Come. - Come. Don't get angry.
What would you like to drink?
Don't hesitate, tell me.
No, thanks, I'm running short on money this month.
Don't you feel ashamed to say that?
You don't understand.
You, your father and your brother earn in your family
but I'm the only one in my family.
Don't lie. You also have a pickle business.
As if I make crores every month, in the pickle business.
It's difficult to even spend enough on the kids' education.
Then why did you get them admitted
in a school where the fee is very high?
Come on, sir.
I've no ancestral wealth to give away to my children
I must at least provide them with good education.
Then don't be dejected.
That reminds me.
The school in which my son is studying
is asking for a donation to build a swimming pool.
That's good. - I don't think so.
The school is only as big as a swimming pool.
Hear this.
My sister is performing rituals for her son.
As maternal uncle, I need to buy gold earrings and clothes for him.
How will an ordinary man like me afford so many things?
First of all, what's the need to bore holes in a boy's ears?
People will go to any extent to make us spend money.
You're absolutely right.
"Expenses are more than earnings."
"There's no relevance between education and line of work."
"However hard you try, fortune doesn't stick around for long."
"Everything that happens before you is not a dream."
"Do we also have to pay tax for the breeze that blows inside our home?"
"Is there anyone who is self-content?"
"Has anyone seen God in the smile of a poor man?"
"Expenses are more than earnings."
"There's no relevance between education and line of work."
"It's the same routine every day."
"We only get to see paradise in our dreams."
"There are several ups and downs in a man's life."
"Can we fly if we open the wings of desire?"
"There's the moon and stars as well."
"Count and see, that is our money."
"The world belongs to poor people like us."
"Expenses are more than earnings."
"There's no relevance between education and line of work."
"We should be obedient."
"We're tired of slavery."
"We have many relatives, but they are only expenses for us."
"Friendship is the only saving we have."
"Like a blooming flower on a railway track."
"We smile when we're happy and bloom when we're sad."
"Let's meet tomorrow."
"Expenses are more than earnings."
"There's no relevance between education and line of work."
"Do we also have to pay tax for the breeze that blows inside our home?"
"Is there anyone who is self-content?"
"Has anyone seen God in the smile of a poor man?"
"Expenses are more than earnings."
"There's no relevance between education and line of work."
Mr. Subbu, sir has sent for you.
Sir.
Sir!
Did you send for me? - Subbu.
Is my personality that bad?
What do you mean? What's the matter?
You've known me for years.
What do I lack? Do I look ugly?
Sir, you're very handsome. - You're right.
I had been to see a girl, she rejected me because I'm bald.
Oh, no!
There are men who lack the ability to even run a family
but she rejected me because I'm bald.
That's unfair.
Don't be dejected, sir.
You'll surely find a girl to marry.
Are you sure? - Yes.
Wish me all the best. - All the best, sir.
Thank you.
Phone.
Hello. Greetings..
Tell me, sir. Don't take the trouble.
I'll send someone to take your signature.
You're a big man, don't trouble yourself.
No.. Are you in the same hotel?
Same hotel. Okay, sir. No problem.
Scoundrel!
He's been looting everyone in town.
He's a cruel man.
He acquires anything he wants.
He has not met me, or else he would've looted me too.
Whom are you talking about? - Ramamurthy.
Why do you fear him so much?
He's not trustworthy. He's dangerous.
Take this file, go to Park View Hotel, room no. 555
the person's name is Ramamurthy, take his signatures. - Okay, sir.
Wait. Sir, shall I go there and get his signatures?
No, don't waste your time.
Sir, Gani lives at the vicinity and he said he'd lend me money.
Gani? - Yes. - He's very dangerous.
He's very cunning. Beware of him. - Sir, please..
By the way, who gave you the permission?
It was you.
I love you. Sir, please.. - I love you.
Go.. - Thank you, sir.
Why are you still here? Go.
I will kill you. Don't interfere in my business.
Don't you understand? - Excuse me, sir.
Who are you?
Registrar sent me to take your signatures. - Come in.
Stay on the line.
Where should I sign? - Wherever marked.
Rosy, bring me my pen.
Quick.
He said he'd go to the police.
What does he think of himself?
Turn the pages.
Subbu, it's been four years since your wife passed away.
Why don't you get married again?
You'll have company.
It's not going to work out.
I said so because you're having a tough time raising two kids.
Idiot! You can't do your work properly.
You're so hopeless. Step aside.
Sir, I will do it.. - Put it in the tub
and press it like this. - Sir, I will do it.
Idiot! Don't just hog food.. - Okay, sir.
focus on work too. Do it. - Okay, sir.
Greetings, sir.
I had called you.
No, you gave a missed call
and when I called you, you asked for money.
You borrowed money just last week
why do you need money again?
Do you have a mistress?
I'm unable to run my own family..
Take it.
Don't you want the money? - I want it.
Sir, it's not enough.
Who will pay the interest money?
I've deducted interest money for the coming month.
I've a function in my sister's home
there are many expenses, this money is not enough.
I will pay the interest money in two days.
Ma'am, please tell him.
Give him the money.
Please, sir. - Silly woman.
Thank you. - Repay the money in two days.
I will, sir. - Go.
Wait, I'll come.
'During a warm-up match.'
'Well, Dhoni.. and he starts up. He has been sent out.'
You watch cricket all the time.
You're watching the same match again. Don't you get bored?
Dad, you listen to the same old songs all the time.
You're good at talking but not in studies.
Where is Kaveri? - She's playing outside.
Enough, now. Get ready to go shopping. - Oh, no.
Out! - Not out!
Kaveri!
Coming, Dad. - Come, we need to go shopping.
Out! - No.
Kaveri! Come here!
Your dad's calling you. Go on.
Coming, Dad!
What is it, Dad?
Why were you talking to her even after I called you?
She said she'd apply henna for me for tomorrow's function.
You won't go to her house or talk to her anymore.
Why, Dad? - Don't question me, do as I say.
Go inside and get ready.
Wow! Aunt likes this colour, doesn't she? - Yes.
When she liked uncle, she'd surely like this colour too.
Go and select clothes for yourself. Idiot.
What about the colour gooseberry?
Gooseberry colour? - Yes.
We don't have such a colour with us.
Gooseberry colour, Mango colour, Onion colour, Garlic colour.
Are you going to wear the dress or eat it?
Dad, this dress is wonderful, isn't it?
Wow! It's wonderful.
Any dress would look good on my daughter.
It's wonderful.
It's wonderful, but the colour is not so good.
Do you have something else?
Is it expensive? - No, my dear.
You liked it. It's a little more than my budget.
Pack it..
Did you select clothes for yourself?
Please buy me a cricket outfit instead.
Will you be playing a match at the function, wearing a cricket outfit?
Give me jeans pants and a t-shirt.
Don't cry.
Don't cry. Why do you cry?
I think she's unhappy with the gift given by you.
Did she tell you that?
Be quiet. Stop insulting my brother.
It's a fact.
Sir. - Yes.
Why didn't you bring your son? - He has no time.
Studies is the only thing on his mind.
He's very intelligent. He's a topper.
Very good.
Dad, shall I pierce my ear too? - Why?
Virat Kohli wears an earring. It's the latest fashion.
Why don't you think of becoming like Abdul Kalam?
Eat.
What do you wish your son to study? - MBA.
No, sir, I want to become a great cricketer like Dhoni.
Eat. He is still childish. MBA..
Dear.. - Yes.
The function was good, I shall leave.
Let's go. - What's the hurry? Please stay for some more time.
No, dear, their exams are approaching.
I have to make them study.
Subbu, I heard you sell pickle on streets.
It brings shame to our family.
Why don't you get married again? You've been suffering so much.
I'm already suffering a lot. Let's go.
You hurt him all the time. Just leave him alone.
Brother, please remove the chain. - Hey, I'll do it, come here.
My sister took this duplicate necklace to be real.
You shouldn't have worn it.
Dad, it's real gold.
Whose necklace is this?
How dare you borrow it!
Whose necklace is this?
It's Miss Nalini's necklace.
I warned you not to talk to her, didn't I?
Come in.
I'm not like the other men.
What is this?
Kaveri said she was going for a function, so I gave it to her.
We may be poor, but we're respectable people.
Who are you? Why are you doing all this? It's disgusting.
I feel ashamed to even speak with you.
What's your problem?
Are you upset because it was I who gave her the necklace?
You bought it with the money earned by wrong means.
We may be poor, but we're respectable people.
We're not shameless like you.
Excuse me, mind your words.
But you're a characterless woman.
Look, don't try to get close to me
by gaining my daughter's confidence.
Those who wear pants and shirt don't become men.
Even women wear them these days.
You should be ashamed
for not buying even duplicate ornaments for your daughter.
It makes sense.
You said whatever you wanted to
but you don't understand my plight.
And you are screaming. It's not very manly.
He's coming. Let's go.
Hold the book properly. Idiot..
Study well and become a dignified person.
Otherwise you'll be put to shame.
There is a reason for it.
I'm using my friend's phone so that I don't get caught by my wife.
It's like a telephone booth.
The same lie again.
She's my new girlfriend, so, I need to start all over again.
Yes, darling.
Does your husband object?
What? You will kill him and elope with me!
You must enjoy yourself and not land in trouble.
Hey.. - I'm getting distracted, I'll talk to you on another phone.
How can you cheat someone like this?
You don't understand, Subbu.
It's not cheating, it's manipulation.
Do you want to remain alone even after your wife has passed away?
He got angry.
Sign here. - Greetings, Gani.
Good morning, sir.
Tomorrow is a holiday, sir.
I tried to make him understand but..
Gani is coming, be alert! - Oh, my God.
What? Oh, my God. He's coming. Oh, my God.
What do I do now?
Oh, my God.
Sir, I couldn't pay him the interest money. - Okay.
If he inquires, tell him I'm out of town. - Okay.
Where are you going? - I was coming to see you.
I see.
What are you doing? Gani..
I'll pay the money next month. My wife will scold me, please.
Stop eating, your boss is waiting for you.
What do I do now?
Hurry up.
Sir, is it a show?
I will tell you after he drops the card.
Oh, my God. Not a single joker. - Use your photo.
Don't irritate me.
Sir, look here. - 'Who will benefit?'
'They say the price for milk and petrol'
'have been increased only by Rs. 2.'
'But they have increased the prices many times.'
'The prices are skyrocketing.'
Mr. Samudram makes sure to speak on TV once a week.
He's annoying. He thinks he's a freedom fighter.
He's so annoying. - Be quiet.
We need a man like him in the colony.
How did we get a bus stop in our colony?
It's because of Mr. Samudram's efforts.
He's an ex-army officer, it was his duty.
Ask him to speak with me after consuming liquor.
You're a drunkard.
Boss, it's that house.
Show!
It's a wrong show. - What?
You are so annoying. Damn it.
Come on, sir. - What nonsense is this?
It's the joker from the previous game. - No.
It's the joker from the previous game. - Oh, my God.
Hereafter, we must not play with him.
Stop doing that again. - Come on, sir.
It's Gani. Silence! - What happened?
Yes? - "My dear.."
It's Gani. I didn't pay interest this month.
Please sit..
"It's time to light the lamp.."
Hello. Sir, you will live long.
I was about to call you.
Where are you? - I'm o-out of station..
What? Hill station?
Hill station? Yes, I'm in Ooty.. Office tour.
It's very cold out there.
Yes, sir, it's very cold, minus 4 degrees.
You're in Ooty, good, even I'm coming there.
Ooty? What for?
A man borrowed money from me and is hiding in Ooty.
I'm coming there because I want to break his bones.
Where are you in Ooty? Tell me the address.
Don't come, it's very cold here.
But the men sitting beside you are sweating.
No, everyone is feeling cold. Hear them.
Did you hear that? It's very cold..
Greetings. - Hill station?
This is Ooty, minus 4 degrees. - Sorry, sir.
It's cold out here. - Sorry, sir.
I will teach you a lesson. I will take away your belongings.
Sir.. I will pay your money.
My friends. - Greetings, sir. - Greetings, Mr. Gani.
On what grounds do you borrow money?
All you have is an old TV..
Sir..
What's that?
My underwear.
I know. Didn't you find any other place to dry it?
When I put it on the terrace, it flies away.
As if it is Superman's underwear!
He uses it to drive away mosquitoes. - Is that a joke?
Give me the money.
Subbu is a good man. He will repay your money.
Will you pay if he doesn't? - Sir..
I'll pay. - When?
Ma'am is yet to pay money for the pickle. - Who's that?
Ranjani has promised to pay me too.
Ranjani? Who is she? - Meenakshi's friend.
Don't you know any men?
Meenakshi is a man, Meenakshi Sundaram.
Hey, if you don't repay the money in two days, I won't spare you.
Sir, you have come home for the first time
don't leave empty handed. Just a minute.
Mango pickle, your mistress is very fond of it.
But you said mango pickle was over, didn't you?
Hey!
Did he repay the money?
Why has the principal summoned me at such short notice?
Parents-teachers meeting was held just last week.
What happened? - Dad, I've to go for cricket practice. Shall I go?
But you said it's important.
He has called you, go and meet him.
Karthik..
Good evening, sir.
There are no complaints against your daughter.
Yes, sir, she's brilliant, like her mother. - But your son..
"My heart sways.."
Excuse me, sir.
Ma'am..
Sorry, bitter gourd pickle is out of stock.
How about cucumber pickle?
It's very tasty. Ma'am..
Mr. Subramaniam, I'm talking to you seriously.
Ma'am, I'll send it.
Sorry, sir, it was a business call.
Your son is very poor in studies.
But he has never failed before.
It's because we don't fail any student.
It's not the same in public exams.
My son is a good boy. - I know.
He doesn't focus on the lectures or attend special classes.
He only has cricket on his mind.
Moreover, he mocks his teachers.
He doesn't study, he has no discipline.
Then why do you send him to school?
If he doesn't mend his ways, he will never progress.
The public exam is next year.
This is the first and last warning. - Okay, sir.
If there's no improvement, severe action will be taken.
We'll detain him in the same class.
Sir, please don't do that. I'll make sure he studies well.
He won't play cricket hereafter.
I will send him to tuition.
He will definitely.. - You haven't paid the fees for this term.
Pay it at the earliest.
Okay, sir.
Karthik, come here!
What, Dad?
Karthik, principal is very angry.
He said you don't focus on studies.
If you don't do well in the mid-term exam
he will detain you in the 9th standard.
Yeah! Four! Wow! - Yeah!
Great shot!
It's a matter of serious concern. Don't you understand?
He says that all the time. - Be serious.
He said he will detain you in the 9th standard.
Are you not scared? But I'm scared.
He scolded me.
You must be kidding. - Shut up.
Do you only want to play cricket? Won't you study?
My batting average is 45. - Out!
Score at least 35 in Math.
I'm not stopping you from playing cricket.
Pay attention to studies too.
You can play cricket at any age
but yours is the right age to study.
You're absolutely wrong. It's the same with cricket too.
Are you done?
There's more to speak with him.
Until when? - Until March.
Five overs to go, you can speak with him after that.
Listen to me.
I'll send him for practice after exams
give him ample practice.
Are you kidding me? There's a tournament in January.
Sir, he has scored zero in Math. Go and bring your bag.
Hey.. - Please, sir.
Come on!
Look, it's mango pickle, it takes three hours to make it.
I will get Rs. 50 if I sell it, I can guarantee that.
If he practiced till January, will he be selected in the state team?
Can you guarantee that?
I can guarantee that the pickle
won't rot for a month if kept away from water.
If you guarantee me, I won't stop him from playing cricket.
Let's go. - Karthik, wait..
Please, sir.. Hop on.
He's a good student, but weak in Math.
Please teach him well. - Okay, don't worry, we'll take care.
Thank you, sir. - Go inside. Sit there.
Go, go. - Sit with the kids.
Okay. - I'll pick him up after an hour. - Okay.
Thank you, sir. - Okay.
He's good in other subjects, but weak in physics.
You'll be teaching him, I'm sure he'll do well hereafter.
I'll take care, don't worry. - Thank you, ma'am.
By the way, this is mango pickle, I made it.
No.. - Please take it, it's good. Sit.
Thank you.
Sit. Thank you, ma'am.
What is your name? - My name is Karthik.
What's your problem in physics? - I find it very difficult.
Brother, you've got to wake up early from tomorrow.
Math tuition at 6:00 a.m. and then school
special class in the evening
followed by physics tuition
and at 8 p.m., Mr. Samudram will teach you Tamil.
Then when will I play cricket?
Just one month to go for exams, there's not much time.
Our father works hard for us to study well.
If you try, it will be easy and tuitions would make it easier.
I will help you too.
Okay.
Karthik, do you go to tuitions even on Sunday?
Go and ask your friend.
I told you guys to play in full spirit!
When you turn..
Practice one more time.
Greetings, sir.
I'm here to pay the coaching fees..
I don't wish to take fees from a student like Karthik.
Forget that. Where is he?
The district tournament is approaching, he needs to practice.
He always shows up.
What's the matter with him?
Public exam is approaching.. - Okay.
Hereafter, Karthik won't come for training.
Are you mad?
He's more a sports guy than a regular student.
Send him for practice immediately.
Sir, he's playing even with the books.
Sir, please. I almost had to plead with his principal to seek time.
He has joined tuitions.
Sir, Karthik is passionate about cricket.
If you compel him to study, he won't do well.
Cricket is his life. Respect his talent.
I've been coaching many students
I'm saying, he's such a superb player.
I agree, Karthik is a good player
and cricket is a wonderful game.
But ours is a middle class family, education matters a lot for us.
His performance in studies is more important
than his performance in cricket.
Listen to me.. - Sir, please.
Please try and understand.
Let him stay away from cricket for some time.
In cricket, whether you win or lose, it doesn't really matter.
I don't want my son to become a loser in life. Please.
My son's future is in your hands.
Fees..
How many times do I tell you?
You know..
"My heart sways like a kite on not seeing you, my dear.."
Hello. - This is Nalini.
Tell me. - We need to talk, come home immediately.
Tell me over the phone.
Kaveri is in my house, come soon.
Wait, go fast.
Kaveri..
Come in.
Kaveri, come out!
Ka.. - She's had stomach ache after getting back from school.
What happened?
It's good news, come in.
"Playful sailor, the game is over."
"We are real sailors now."
"Playful sailor, the game is over."
"We are real sailors now."
"On the sea which does not see the shore, are you and me."
"Like a sinking boat, we tried to crawl."
"Whatever it is, acceptance is life."
"Playful sailor, the game is over."
"We are real sailors now."
"Struggling in the water and making whorls"
"The aim is to reach the shore"
"Seen so many cyclones and storms"
"Struggling to reach the goal."
"In one's route, is there any companion than oneself?"
"All directions will naturally become your path."
"When will the boat reach the shore?"
"Playful sailor, the game is over"
"We are real sailors now."
Sir, it's Karthik! - Karthik..
Karthik!
Karthik, wait.
"The value of wood increases only when it gets sculpted."
"Even the wood goes through pain."
"Getting dried in the sun, getting cold under the moonlight."
"Seeing the sky and playing."
"One can never measure the depth of the sea."
"The flowing rivers never retreat."
"What is the end for the unending ends?"
"Playful sailor, the game is over"
"We are real sailors now."
"On the sea which does not see the shore, are you and me."
"Like a sinking boat, we tried to crawl."
"Whatever it is, acceptance is life."
"Playful sailor, the game is over"
"We are real sailors now."
I said your son can't study, but you don't understand.
We can't take it anymore.
His performance is getting worse.
We tried really hard. He doesn't know his 17 times table.
He can't even read two pages. How'll he read the whole book?
He can't do it.
Sir, he's a good student, but after his mother passed away
I couldn't pay attention to him.
If you pay more attention to him, he will do really well.
Parents think their children are intelligent.
When you strive to admit him here, you think the school is great.
But when we say the truth, you get angry.
Moreover, you advise us to pay more attention to him.
Sir, I'm not blaming you.
It's just that I'm not able to pay attention to him.
It's my fault. He has joined tuitions, he's trying.
Please give him more time. - No. You have only two options.
Sign on the detention form and I will give him a chance
to study in 9th standard again
or else get him admitted in another school.
Decide quickly, don't waste my time.
Sir, it's about his future, please don't take any kind of decision.
Don't detain him.
He'll have his younger sister in the same class.
Sir, please.. - Hello!
Your son can't study. How many times do I tell you?
The policy of our school is 100 percent results.
Even if one student fails, the chairman will sack me.
He will bring a bad name to the school.
Give me one more chance.
I will make sure he scores good marks in the exams.
Sir, please.. - No chance.
If I agree, you'll make me let him write exams too!
We have seen many such cases, they only worsen.
Sir, please.. - Try to understand, Mr. Subbu.
If you don't give him a chance, his life will be ruined.
No! I'll think about it, please go. - Thank you, sir.
Please go. - Yes, sir.
He will study well. - Please go now.
I won't spare you! Come! - Oh, my God.
Oh, Lord! - What does.. - They are such a burden.
They will bring down the standard of education.
Sir, I pay fees every month, why doesn't he score good marks?
Your son is good for nothing.
He tests my patience all the time.
He can't study. I'm really tired of him. I'm sorry, take him away.
Sir, please take special classes for him.
Please take him away from here.
Let's go. - Continue.
He will score good marks only if he studies, he's always sleeping.
I wonder whether I'm his teacher or a maid who wakes him up.
He's not interested in studies.
I can't do anything about him.
All cricketers, Dhoni, Tendulkar..
They must all be banned and exiled.
They have ruined a generation.
How do you watch cricket the entire day?
Don't you have any other work?
They don't play cricket, they play with our lives.
It's just cricket all the time.
It takes so much effort to pay school fees.
Where does the money come from?
Where does the money come from, to pay my son's school fees?
Not Dhoni, it is I who bear all the expenses.
I spend my hard earned money.
But the cricket players get everything for free.
Lives of many people are getting ruined.
I haven't done anything for my daughter.
She has grown up now.
I feel sad when I think about her.
Had her mother been alive, she would've made some savings.
Only now, I've started to realise things.
I was confident that my son would at least study well
but he let me down.
They should be banned.
17 x 1 = 17.
17 x 2 = 34. 17..
Don't count like this. Tell me how much is 17 x 3 =?
17 x 1 = 17. 17 x 2 =..
17 x 3..
You learnt it just now. Tell me without seeing this.
17 x 1= 17. 17 x 2 =34.
17 x 3..
How many times will you repeat the same thing?
Don't you remember anything? Are you dumb?
Mahendra Singh Dhoni, 61 test matches.
195 one day matches, 27 T-20 matches.
In the World Cup Final of 2011, he hit 91 runs
in 79 balls and won World Cup for India after 28 years.
His winning average, 55.79 percent.
The radius of cricket ground is 137 in diameter.
The length of the pitch is 22.56 meters.
Three stumps together, it's 9 inches.
Height, 28.5 inches.
The ball is 9 inches in circumference.
A bat shouldn't be more than 38 inches long.
If a fast bowler bowls at 90 miles
it will reach the batsman in half a second.
I am not dumb.
I just can't learn math.
Brother, finish your homework.
Ask me, I'll tell you.
Tell me. How much is 17x8?
6!
Dad is here.
17 x 1 = 17. 17 x 2 = 34
17 x 3 = 51.
17 x 4 = 68.
Why do you need the bat beside you while studying?
Let's finish our homework. Tell me. How much is 17x8?
How much is 17x8?
I won't tell the answer. I don't know.
Then what do you know?
You only know how to put your father to shame.
You're in 9th standard, you don't know 17 times multiplication table.
Then what do you know?
Cricket, I know cricket.
Six balls in an over, 50 overs per innings
15 minutes for drinks. Does cricket help you in any way?
Do you know the population of India?
120 crores and out of them, only 11 play cricket.
You're wrong, it's 15. - Don't back answer.
I heard you gave a speech, last night.
If you keep Dhoni's picture with you, would you become like him?
Why not? Dhoni is my inspiration.
Wait and watch. I will represent our state someday.
I will tear your skin apart. Just shut up.
Will you be able to represent the state?
You're playing with our lives. Idiot.
I work at office, do overtime, then sell pickle
to bear the expenses of the family, and I take loans.
It's not the cricket players who looks after you.
It is your father's hard-earned money
that is taking care of you.
Idiot.. - "My heart sways like a kite.."
Darn it.
Are you watching him?
He used to fear me when you were alive
I gave him all the love after you died, but in vain.
He puts me to shame.
Dear, move aside.
I have to do something about him. I will deal with him myself.
17 times table, right? - Yes, Dad.
Tell me. How much is 17X8?
I don't know. - If you don't, you need to learn.
Idiot. Tell me. 17X8.. Tell me the answer.
How much is 17X8? - I don't know, Dad.
Write it. You will remember if you write, come on.
17X8.. Write..
I don't know.. - Then, learn!
Give him some time, Dad.
I won't, I have given him enough time.
I sent him to tuitions and pleaded with his principal to give time
not anymore, it's futile.
I will teach you today, let me see.
I'll take leave for you from office. Tell me the answer.
Tell me. How much is 17X8?
Tell me the answer.. - I'm not interested in studies.
You've no interest?
I didn't want to live after your mom died. Did I kill myself?
You have interest in watching cricket all night.
You have no interest in anything. Tell me why?
Step aside.
It's because of this, you have no interest in studies, am I right?
It's because of this, isn't it?
I will.. - Please don't break the bat.
Stay away! - Dad, it's my favourite bat, please don't.
Dad, please listen to me. - Go away!
From now, you won't even talk about cricket.
Hereafter, you won't watch or play cricket. I'll kill you.
I will play cricket. - What?
I will play cricket.
Don't you ever understand?
I don't know Math, I know only cricket.
How dare you back answer me! You won't study!
You must study! I will make sure you study! Come..
Tell me. How much is 17x8?
Stop pretending. Come here.
Tell me. How much is 17x8? - Blood!
Hey!
Karthik!
Hey, Karthik, get up!
Hey, Karthik! Karthik!
Sir, I'm Samudram, a social activist. - Please sit.
Mr. Subramaniam hails from our colony. - Okay.
He's innocent, please release him.
That's impossible. Go to the court.
Please don't make it an issue. He's not a criminal. - Please, sir.
He just hit his own son.
He might just be a father to you, for us, he's an accused.
Sir, he's innocent.
His son is hospitalised and his daughter is alone at home.
Please show mercy.
Don't you understand the seriousness of the case?
It was just an accident, it wasn't intentional.
He is also from the same colony, ask him.
I've known him for years.. - I won't tolerate you anymore.
If you argue with me, I'll put you behind bars.
Sir, he's a very good man, please release him. - I won't release him.
Hello.. - The case has already been filed. - I'm in the station.
Who's answerable to the senior officer?
I will put the inspector on line. - I take the guarantee.
Please leave.
Talk. - Who is it?
Please talk.
Who are you? - I'm Mr. Subbu's neighbour.
Hello. Sir..
Sir, I will release him. Okay, sir.
Okay, sir. I'll do the needful. No problem, sir.
Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.
I will release him just for sir.
The case has been filed. You must bring him when summoned.
Thank you, sir. - Thank you, sir. - Ma'am, sign here.
Hey.. - Sir. - Release him.
Yes.
Your son is out of danger.
But due to severe head injury
there's a massive intracranial haemorrhage.
We tried our best, but he's gone into a coma.
Don't disturb him. Nurse..
From now, you won't even talk about cricket.
Hereafter, you won't watch or play cricket. I'll kill you.
I don't know Math, I know only cricket.
How dare you back answer me! You won't study!
You must study! I will make sure you study!
Have you been waiting for long? Sorry.
I'm late due to heavy traffic.
Did Karthik disturb you?
They look after you so well.
Your friends are waiting for you in the colony.
Even your coach had called.
He wants you to train, as the selection is nearing.
I said you will come soon.
That reminds me. You missed an incredible match yesterday.
India versus Australia. Australia was all out for 180.
The new bowler.. What's his name? - Ashwin. - Ashwin.
He bowled really well. We were sure of winning the match
but unfortunately, we lost 3 wickets for 8 runs
I thought we will lose the match, but then came Dhoni.
I must say, he played really well.
Your favourite helicopter shot, he hit 3 sixes in one over.
I remembered you.
Enough, Karthik.
Hey..
Enough.
I'm unable to watch cricket without you. It's boring.
Get up, Karthik. I didn't hit you intentionally.
I'm sorry.
Karthik, please get up.
Forgive me.
Karthik, sorry. Karthik..
Get up, Karthik.
Sorry, Karthik. Forgive me.
Ask him to get up.
Sorry, Karthik.
Doctor, it's been six weeks, I don't see any improvement.
I'm scared.
The patient is in coma, it's difficult to say anything.
Your son has suffered diffuse axonal injury in brain.
It happens when the brain is weak.
He might take six weeks or even six months to recover.
You need not keep him in the hospital.
You can take care of him at home.
It will cut your expenses.
Bring him for regular check-ups. That would be enough.
Create an atmosphere that he likes.
You said he likes cricket, create an ambience of the same.
He can eat, sleep and also sit on a wheelchair.
But he won't be able to do anything by himself.
Don't keep him in one place, take him out.
Don't lose your hope.
Thank you, Doctor.
How much is it, sir? - Rs. 82, 000.
Rs. 82, 000.
I only have Rs. 53,000.
Can I pay the balance amount tomorrow?
We will discharge him only after you clear the total bill amount.
Otherwise daily bed charges would be Rs. 5000, what do you say?
Here's the balance amount, close the account.
Discharge him today.
Sir, here's the receipt.
Ma'am, what happened to Karthik? Why is he asleep?
He's not well.
Greetings, sir. - What is it?
Which hill station had you been to? Where have you been?
I will repay your money.
When? - I'm running short of money for the month.
But tell me, when will you pay?
My son is unwell. - Then how will you repay the money?
What kind of a man are you?
Your son slipped into a coma, why didn't you inform me?
I don't let go of even a single penny.
When a person doesn't repay my money, I never spare him.
But there's a limit to it.
Your son is unwell.
If I try to recover my money from you at this time
God will never forgive me.
Idiot.
Whenever you're in need of money, you must ask only me.
Don't you dare borrow money from anybody else. Understand?
Where is your son?
What did the doctor say?
He suggested that I take him home.
He asked us to create an ambience that makes him happy.
Then do that. Why is everyone sitting so quietly?
Take him around the colony and he will be all right.
Idiot! You know nothing!
Not him, hold the wheelchair.
Let's go.
"When the crawling clouds pour"
"The wounded heart will start pouring."
"When the crawling clouds pour"
"The wounded heart will start pouring."
"The cloud, wherever you go"
"will it not follow you?"
"When the crawling clouds pour"
"the wounded heart will start pouring."
"In the playground, there's loud applause."
"Had we been a ball, many would've played with us."
"Not knowing what might happen tomorrow."
"Not sleeping the whole day."
"In the wee hours of morning, new light in the far end."
"It comes near me and caresses me."
"When the crawling clouds pour."
"The wounded heart will start pouring."
"We see waves, but each one of them is new."
"The bubbles and foam in them reduce our sorrows."
"Mild breeze keeps blowing."
"However the wind is, a new song always plays."
"In our lifetime, no one is alone."
"It's your own companions who make you lonely."
"When the crawling clouds pour"
"the wounded heart will start pouring."
"The cloud, wherever you go."
"Will it not follow you?"
"When the crawling clouds pour"
"the wounded heart will start pouring."
Thank you very much. - What for?
You've been of great help.
I was not able to repay your money, but I will, very soon.
As of now, I'm not in need of money.
I will ask you when I need it.
I am sorry.
I have hurt you very much.
It's okay.
How'd you know what pain I'm going through?
I got married at a very young age.
My husband left me soon, but I have two children.
I want to provide them with good education, just like you.
I also want to take good care of my parents.
I knew I was choosing the wrong path
but I don't enjoy what I do.
It's futile to regret.
My children study in a residential school.
My parents are happy too. That's enough.
We hurt people blindly, don't we?
Sorry. But when I still see you smiling
I develop respect for you.
Though I'm unable to give you anything
I have prepared a special pickle, you must accept it.
'Diet pickle', it's good for people like you.
Kaveri must be back home from school, let's go.
Dad! - Yes.
Where have you been? Karthik's class teacher is here.
Look after him.
Hello, ma'am!
Sorry, ma'am! I took Karthik to the park.
I didn't know you were going to visit us.
It's okay. How is Karthik?
Look, he's fine.
Doctor said he might recover anytime.
He will re-join school very soon.
Sure, our prayers are with him. - Thank you. Please come in.
It's okay, I've got to go. - Have coffee.
Principal wants you to come to school, write a letter and sign it.
What letter?
We already spoke about it.
Karthik won't be able to appear for exams this year
and public exams are next year.
You need to write a letter that
your son won't be able to appear for exams
so that the school doesn't face legal problems.
He can re-join school after he recovers.
Have you decided that my son will remain in coma all his life?
Don't you see he's alive? He's not dead.
However the students are, you just want the results, right?
Why won't you be straightforward?
Sir, please don't mistake me, It is the principal..
Please go, ma'am, I will come, go.
Please go, I will come.
Sorry, Subbu, it's just a formality.
Karthik's belongings are in his locker
if you clear them, I can give it to someone else.
Take him to Karthik's locker. - Okay, sir.
Take care.
Please come, sir.
Karthik is a very good boy.
He plays cricket very well.
Other students disrespect me
but Karthik has always been good to me.
You have raised your son very well.
All of you, close your books and get ready for the oral test.
You must answer my questions correctly.
The questions are about the Mughal dynasty.
Sharadha, in which year..
She discourages the students all the time.
She asked Karthik if he'd become a peon like me.
Do you know what he said?
He said he'd prove himself in cricket someday.
Sir, don't worry.
He will get well soon and become a cricketer.
You will witness it yourself.
No. 58, sir.
Karthik is very passionate about cricket.
If you compel him to study, he won't do well.
Cricket is his life. Respect his talent.
I've been coaching many students, I'm saying
he's such a superb player.
You're studying in 9th standard, you don't know 17 times table.
Then what do you know?
Cricket, I know cricket.
If you keep Dhoni's picture with you
would you become like him?
Why not? Dhoni is my inspiration.
Wait and watch. I will represent our state someday.
I will play cricket.
I don't know Math, Dad. I only know cricket.
Don't you know when the first battle of Panipat was fought?
Why are you quiet? Didn't you study?
I told you, this question will be asked in the exam.
Answer me. Did you study or not?
You're not able to memorise the year.
You will never learn history.
When will you become responsible?
History is about wars that took place years ago.
Will she become good in history if she memorised
the date of one single event?
You're a history teacher
you know the date when India and Pakistan parted
but can you tell me why and what happened during that time?
Answer me.
You've been a history teacher for some time, answer my question.
Why did the two countries split?
You don't know the answer, stand up on the bench.
Stand up on the bench!
What is this nonsense? Why should I stand up on the bench?
Because you don't know the answer.
Who are you to tell me that?
You don't know the answer, stand up on the bench! - I won't!
You make the kids do it, now even you do it.
Who are you to tell me that? - I will tell you!
Are you mad? - Stand up! - Shut up!
Shut up, I said!
Forget about history. How much is 17x8?
You're an educated teacher. Answer the question.
How much is 17x8? - I teach social studies, not Math.
When you know only one subject, how can you
expect them to know all the subjects?
You're educated and experienced. How much is 17x8?
Who are you to question me?
Me? I'm the father of the boy you shunned.
Our hard earned money is what you get paid.
Not just you, I can also question your principal.
How much is 17x8? Otherwise stand up on the bench.
Watchman! - Stand up on the bench.
Watchman! - Otherwise answer my question!
Stand up on the bench! - Watchman!
Stand up on the bench! - Silence!
What's going on? Mr. Subramaniam, what's this?
You've been behaving like a goon. - Even you're educated.
How much is 17x8?
You are the principal.
Answer the question at once.
Watchman, take him away!
I'm talking to you, answer my question.
Leave me! I won't spare anyone!
My son is suffering because of you! I won't spare anyone!
He has lost his mind. - I won't spare anyone!
You have insulted your son.
You said he's good for nothing. I'm such an idiot.
Coach, a father must understand his son.
You have understood my son better.
I wish that he's born to you in his next birth. Sorry, sir.
You deserve it.
Are you mad? You've made a scene in such a reputed school!
Only now, I have realised some things.
I didn't fight, I asked for justice.
The principal asked me to behave like an educated person.
They call students idiots because they are educated.
The teachers there, don't know what Independence Day means.
That doesn't mean you can do what you did!
I will also drag them to court.
I won't spare them. - Don't get angry.
I'm not angry. A guilty conscience has made me restless.
They are responsible for my son's state. Idiots.
I don't understand whether to live to study, or study to live.
Correct.
A human being learns from his mistakes.
They can't expect children to be perfect.
Mr. Lakshman, you know how heavy your granddaughter's school bag is.
What's the need for a preschool kid to carry so many books?
It is like carrying a sack in the market.
All for money.
The school exploits the students for money.
The only thing left is to ask the students to wear uniform underwear.
Yes, correct.
Sir, please stop mocking me.
I'm not mocking you, what you said is right.
But it's futile to talk within the four walls.
People will think you're mad.
You're hurt, you're grieving. It's a common situation.
Say it before the public. Say it on a public show.
Tell me, sir. Whom should I speak to?
Where should I speak?
Welcome back to 'Neeya Naana'.
We are talking about whether education
is a boon or a curse in the present times.
Osho Rajneesh has spoken about education in present times.
A person who's a skilled labourer
is working as a clerk in a bank.
On the other side
an engineer is working as a salesman, under the scorching sun.
Society has come to a state
where people are compelled to do jobs, unwillingly.
It's all based on marks.
It has become difficult
to even pass from school or college.
That's the current situation.
So, is education a boon or a curse for children?
The debate begins.
Sir, would you like to go to jail?
For us, going to school or college is like going to jail.
Please give me the mic.
Sir, my father wants me to do engineering
but I want to do MBBS.
But the astrologer predicted that I must do B.Sc. in Math.
Astrologer? - Yes, sir.
My father consulted an astrologer
and asked him to predict my future
and he predicted that I'd do very well in Math.
I'm very weak in Math.
I'm having a tough time. - Has your father come?
Yes, sir. He's sitting right there.
Please give the mic to him.
Sir, not one, I consulted eight astrologers
and five of them predicted that he'll do very well in Math.
That's unfair.
Your son needs to decide what he wants to study, not an astrologer.
Please give me the mic. - Here.
They are young and they are naive.
How can we let them decide their future?
Will you let an astrologer decide your son's future?
I want to study mechanical engineering.
I studied hard to score 98 percent in 12th grade
but my parents compelled me to study B. Ed, saying
a teacher's job is the best option for girls.
Men can do night shifts, but it's not safe for girls.
If a woman has the ability to teach her children, that's enough.
You are her mother, how can you say a thing like that?
Times have changed.
When a mother herself doesn't want her daughter to be educated
think about the plight of women.
This is a serious matter.
There are many hurdles in the education system.
But why are there hurdles?
Does the education system shatter children's dreams?
We're about to invite a special guest who's been a victim.
Let's welcome Mr. Subbu!
Subbu, go, don't be afraid. Go.
Welcome, sir. - Thank you, sir.
Say something about yourself.
What can I say? I'm a middle class man, who strives to make a living.
I work at the registrar's office.
I've always wanted my kids to have good education.
You are right. Tell me
whether education is a boon or curse for children. Tell us.
I don't have any kind of opinion.
But based on the experience that my children and I are going through
I feel education is a curse and not a boon.
There are loopholes in the education system.
What do you mean?
Nothing is right about the system. - Why do you feel so?
They can't expect every kid to be intelligent.
School seats are given only to those kids
who are intelligent and that's unfair.
Forget that.
My son is studying in the same school for the last 13 years.
He spends more time in school than at home.
One day, they summon me and say, my son is very bad at studies
and they don't want to have him in their school anymore.
The school aims for cent percent results and
we parents pressurise our children to score high marks.
Someone here, said schools are like jail, that's absolutely right.
My son was studying in one such school.
Excuse me, sir! - Tell me.
I'm a school teacher.
We teachers coach the students at the same time
but if some don't do well, you can't blame the teachers or school.
Yes, you're indeed responsible.
During admission, you give tests to the students and their parents.
Moreover, the school also demands
a donation and additional fees
and if the student doesn't do well, it is you who is responsible.
Excuse me! Silence!
I'm a school principal.
You have only two children, whereas I coach 4000 children.
If your children don't do well, won't you fight with me? - I will.
You give ads that your school has achieved cent percent results.
Have you ever passed the students who are weak in studies?
The entire country celebrates Teachers' Day with great devotion
but other than staging a strike for hike in salary or to gain promotion
have you ever protested against the education system?
Don't get emotional. Think about the facts.
It's futile to argue.
This is a never-ending issue.
Mister, if you yell, what you say doesn't become right.
I will shout. I'm hurt.
Come home and see my son
you'll understand the pain I'm going through.
My son is a very good cricket player.
It was his coach who told me that my son is
a good cricket player and has a great future
but his school never once praised his talent.
Only few students in the class would be good at studies
it doesn't mean, the rest are good for nothing.
My son, who was always so lively
now, he has slipped into a coma.
And I'm standing here, guilty.
I always pressured my son to score distinction marks, I was so selfish
I never understood him.
Because of that, I'm facing grave punishment.
If society is making mistakes, it means the school is also wrong.
It means that the teachers are making mistakes too.
It means the whole education system is making mistakes.
I had never hit my son.
But the school constantly kept degrading him
because of which I was forced to beat him.
I didn't beat my son intentionally. - Calm down.
They forced me to beat him.
They forced me..
They forced me to beat him.
They forced me.. - Calm down.
Mr. Subbu, the program was wonderful, it was incredible.
The program was wonderful.
My family has become your fans. - Thank you.
What brings you to the office?
I'm here to get my loan sanctioned. - I see. You will surely get it.
We must watch the program.
Good afternoon, ma'am. - Good afternoon.
Would you join us for lunch? - No, thanks, I already had lunch.
Why didn't you tell us about the TV program?
We watched only from the second half.
I was actually invited on short notice. It was unexpected.
Wear a good outfit next time.
There were wrinkles all over your clothes.
I was actually nervous.. - Congratulation, Subbu.
Sir, hello. I'm here to meet you.
Why? - Regarding the loan.
You will surely get a loan. - Thank you, sir..
I might need plenty of money for my son's operation. Please do it fast.
You will get a loan easily for your service. Am I right? - Yes. - Yes.
Don't worry, Subbu, the loan will be sanctioned in two weeks.
Thank you, sir. - You've been in the organisation for years.
Hey, hero!
Only one show and you have become quite popular.
You have become the talk of the town.
The entire organisation is praising you.
By the way, Subbu, the woman who was arguing on the show
can I have her number?
Aren't you ashamed? - Did you hear that?
You're on leave, nobody here lends me their phone. - Hey!
Did you see? You want loan and I want a phone.
Now that you're here, can I borrow your phone? - He will never reform.
Give me. I changed the number, there's a new girlfriend.
Oh, my God. - She is very talkative.
Subbu, what exactly did you say on the show?
My son gets beaten up in school because he's very poor in Math.
Even I beat him.
Ever since your show was on TV, my wife
has warned me not to beat my son again.
You have become popular.
That's right. He's a hero now.
Would you like to act in films?
Stop mocking me. I shall leave. - Okay.
Sir, what are you doing? - Give me a ride to the market.
But I'm not going that way.
You were boasting on TV like a hero. It's close by, go.
How much further?
Right here. Stop..
I shall leave. - No, come with me.
Sir..
Hit him!
Sir..
Oh, no!
If you boast again, I will kill you and your son too. Beat him!
What's going on? - Let's go!
Subramaniam, I don't have a problem in filing a case
but that doesn't solve the issue.
What do you say?
Your son is all that matters to you.
The case will go to court, please don't waste your time.
Don't lock horns with influential people. Try to understand.
I advised you not to get hyper. You didn't listen to me.
They are influential people, you cannot fight them.
He shouldn't have created a ruckus in the school.
We are ordinary people. We must be stay within our limits.
Who said so?
He is popular now.
All my business associates talk about him.
They have thrashed you badly.
You were to get thrashed by me..
But you are lucky.
I think a thousand times, before I lend you Rs. 10,000.
The goons were paid one lakh to beat you up.
They are influential people.
One lakh?
Had he been aware of it, he would've got
thrashed willingly and taken the money.
Do you think it's funny?
Won't you offer me something to drink?
Kaveri.. - I will get it.
Thanks.
People get beaten up for telling the truth. Nobody can stop them.
Who said so?
He's the culprit. He was hired to beat you by influential people.
He's my man and you were unaware of it.
I'll let you go this time.
If I see you here again
you'll be dead. Get out.
Wait.
My dear, he's the one who hit you father.
Give him a tight slap.
Come, don't be afraid. Come and slap him.
Sir, no. Please don't make this an issue.
Subbu, let me tell you something
the issue has already been raised.
Greetings. - Greetings. - Who are you, sir?
I'm Dr. Manoj, a neurosurgeon from London.
Greetings. - And she's my wife, Archana, also a doctor.
I saw your program on TV and my heart went out for you.
Can we meet your son?
Please come in. Come in. Please sit down.
Please..
She's my daughter. - Hi.
You spoke really well.
You brought tears to everyone's eyes.
But as far as I'm concerned, it was like a tight slap on my face.
We have a son too and he's very passionate about music.
But everyone in our family are doctors.
To make sure he becomes a doctor
we put him in the best college.
But he didn't make it.
Because we compelled him to do what he didn't like
and for stopping him from doing what he wants
he has become a drug addict as he couldn't handle the pressure.
You hit your son and it became news but that didn't happen with us.
Our actions, sometimes
ruin our children's life.
Your son is in a coma and my son is a drug addict
there's no big difference between the two.
We don't realise what our children want.
Literate people make more mistakes than illiterate.
Educated illiterates.
Before we realise things, everything is over. It's over.
The two of us are paying penance for our sins.
After watching your show on TV, I realised that
our sin can be washed away if I could cure your son.
Bring him to the hospital tomorrow.
There's no harm in taking a second opinion.
Let's hope for the best.
Cheer up, Subbu. Nothing to worry about. Your son is recovering.
It's just a minor surgery.
There's fluid being formed in the brain and to stop it
we need to insert a small tube.
We don't get the tube here. We need to import it.
It'll cost about two lakhs.. - Okay sir. - Plus your hospital bills.
If you arrange for the money and inform me
we can go for the operation.
And he'll be okay. - Thank you, sir.
What about your fees? - Fees!
Parents have now realised how they should treat their children.
Your program is an eye-opener to me.
Please do many such programs. That would be my fees, okay?
Thank you, Doctor. I'll do the necessary arrangements. - Okay.
Thank you, Doctor. - All the best. Don't worry, ma'am.
Subbu, I'm an internationally renowned neurosurgeon
but if you ask me how much is 17x8, suddenly
even I won't know.
Life is beyond multiplications. Cheer up.
Thank you, Doctor.
I'm very fortunate. Everyone is coming personally to help me.
I was very scared, but everything is fine now.
Everyone has problems, me too.
But you didn't get shattered, you were strong.
That's why things are becoming better.
I shall leave.
Thanks.
No, don't thank me.
It is I, who should thank you.
I got a job as a teacher in a playschool.
The salary is low, but I feel at peace.
Thanks.
The credit goes to you.
You have reformed many people.
You make me proud.
I was very mean, I was arrogant.
I have troubled you a lot, haven't I?
Please forgive me.
The loan will be sanctioned very soon
we found a very good doctor and our faith is restored.
After you recover, slap me.
I won't stop you now. You're my Dhoni.
I'll go to office.
Aren't you the one who spoke on TV that day?
Yes. - You were really good. - Thank you.
One day, my elder brother's son ran away from home
after 10th grade results were out.
Only now, I realise why he fled.
By the way, how's your son? - Fine. He'll be operated next week.
Don't worry, sir. You're a good man, everything will be fine.
Thank you.. - Yes.
Nothing will happen to your son. - Thanks..
You're lucky. Never have I seen a loan get sanctioned so quickly.
I will take sir's signature, wait and collect the money. - Okay, sir.
Congrats, Subbu.
Wonderful. - Subbu, when is the operation?
As soon as I get the loan.
The doctor is from London. - It's God's grace.
He's boasting as if the operation is going to take place in London.
All the best.
By the way, whose phone does he use during my absence?
The astrologer. - I won't spare him if he doesn't lend me his phone.
You idiot.
He's very troublesome. - Subbu, sir has sent for you.
All the best. Go. - Go.
He's so unlucky. - What happened?
Come what may, you need to be strong, Subbu.
Things are getting better now. I'm very confident.
The doctor has assured that he will cure my son, he'll be alright.
What happened, sir? - Don't you have common sense?
How could you speak against the government
being a government servant?
And moreover, on TV.
Sir, I don't do that anymore. I.. - But it's too late.
There's a letter from the ministry, read it.
Go on.
You've been suspended.
A case has been filed in the police station against the statements
you gave on TV against the government
hence, you're suspended, as per the rules.
Only if you are proved innocent in court
can you resume work.
I tried really hard to get the loan sanctioned
since you've been part of the organisation for years
but there's a lot of pressure from higher authorities, I'm helpless.
I'm sorry, Subbu.
I know you're innocent, but I'm sorry.
I have to obey the rules, I can't break them.
Don't worry, Subbu, let's go to court.
Sir, Subbu will get retirement before the court gives a verdict.
'We welcome the Chief Minister.'
He'll do that. - He'll keep saying that. It doesn't mean..
Hello, Mr. Subbu, what brings you here?
I got to know about the children's program, so..
Bravo. When is the operation?
Well, this week.
The place is crowded, take care of him. - Okay.
Let's go to the other side. Let's go.
Officers, CM has arrived, get ready.
Everybody, be alert.
Who are you? - Media, sir. - Okay.
Subbu, why did you bring your son to a crowded place?
I thought he'd feel better with a change in atmosphere.
But why did you bring him to the CM's function?
Okay. Take care. - Okay.
Guys, get ready!
Be alert! Take positions. Don't allow anyone inside now!
Glory to the Chief Minister!
- Glory to the Chief Minister!
Glory to the Chief Minister!
Leave me!
Glory to the Chief Minister! - Sir!
Sir!
I want to speak to you for five minutes!
Please, sir!
I want to speak with you!
Subramaniam, what are you doing?
Are you crazy? - I want to speak to the CM for five minutes.
I want to speak to him for five minutes. Please.
Are you crazy? Surrender yourself, otherwise they will shoot you.
Shoot us, sir! I won't leave! - Take him away!
Sir. - Take him away!
Mr. Chief Minister, please!
Mr. Chief Minister!
I want to speak to you for five minutes. - Sir!
He's not a terrorist, he's an Indian citizen.
I know him very well. Sir, please give him five minutes.
Please, sir, he wants to speak to you.
Leave him. I want to talk to him.
Sir.. The Chief Minister is calling me. - Leave him!
Sir.. - Do as I say. Leave him. - Leave me. - Leave him.
Leave me. The Chief Minister is calling me. - Leave him.
Move back!
Check him properly. - Check, I'm clean.
Thank you, sir. - Okay, move.
Thank you, sir. - Move.
Hey, move aside.
Come, cover him! - Move back!
What's your problem?
I want to speak to you for five minutes.
Come to my office or house.
You shouldn't create a commotion in a public place.
Not at all, sir. I'm actually forced to come here.
It's very difficult for a common man like me to come to your home.
Tell me, what's your request?
How much is 17x8?
How much is 17 x 8?
What is this? Why don't you use a calculator?
When was the first battle of Panipat fought?
What is the botanical name of coconut tree?
What is the chemical equation when hydrogen
and oxygen react with each other to form water?
Why do you ask me? - Answer me. You must've studied in school.
Look, don't waste my time like this.
I'm the Chief Minister of the state.
Ask me about the budget, my future plans for people, I'll tell you.
It's not necessary that everyone should know everything.
Ask me relevant questions, I will tell you.
Yes, sir. I have many questions to ask.
You say it's not necessary that everyone should know everything.
Then why should children know all the subjects taught in school?
Why should a preschool kid go through an entrance test?
Why should I face an interview to get admission for my kid?
My son doesn't know what 17 X 8 is
does that mean he's weak in studies?
If he failed in one subject, does that mean he's good for nothing?
When applications for IIT are available online
why should parents strive for days to get kids admitted in preschool?
There are many such questions, sir.
Children are pressurised to study well
parents are pressured to pay school fees
and the school is pressured to obtain cent percent results.
Sir, why have studies become so complicated?
Who will make everything all right? It's you.
My son has slipped into a coma as he's weak in Math.
And when I protested, I was thrashed by hired goons.
They threatened to kill my family.
Never mind, sir.
I've been a sincere government servant for the
last 20 years, but I got sacked from my job.
Because I spoke against the government
they cancelled the loan I'd applied for, for my son's operation.
What's my fault, sir?
What wrong did I do, can I ask?
I'm not rich.
I only wanted to provide good education to my kids. Was I wrong?
I wanted to save my son. Was I wrong?
I had heard about you, but I didn't know the problem was so serious.
Don't worry.
I'll make sure you get you job back and the loan you wanted.
Is that enough? - No, sir.
I'm not the only victim, sir.
There are many others who face the same situation.
The education system has changed. Children are being burdened
because of education. We read news about children
committing suicide on the day of results
and we also read ads about cent percent results in schools.
Poor kids.
It's a competitive world. That's how things are.
Even my children are burdened with studies.
Children must not be burdened. No child should be burdened.
So what if they are weak in studies
they might be good at something else. Look for their talent.
Sir, my son is weak in Math and Physics.
But he plays cricket very well. He'd be the best in the state.
Every child is intelligent.
Every child is talented.
It's the responsibility of parents, school, and teachers
to recognise their hidden talent and encourage them.
Sir, it is wrong to degrade the child by saying he's weak.
It is a sin.
It is very wrong, sir. This has to change.
Your signature can create a revolution, sir.
If people like you make up your mind, it's possible.
Sir, please do something. Do something.
I guarantee you.
There'll be changes in the education system.
Don't expect it to happen immediately
but it will happen very soon.
Make arrangements for your son's operation.
Tamil Nadu needs a good cricket player. - Sir.
Sir, thank you.
Superb!
Superb, sir!
One photo, sir. Thank you, sir.
You can relax now.
Your son is back.
Thank you, doctor. - I should thank you.
Can I see my son?
You can see him anytime. Wait for some time though, okay?
Come, Doctor. - Yes.
Last ball, six runs. Come on, Karthik.
Karthik! Darn it! Karthik!
You can, Karthik! You can!
Last ball.
Come on, Karthik.
Yeah!
