Hey! Look at the TV Sivaji sir is eating catfish
We are eating the same fish
Karuppiah 'anna' get soup for this table
Are people waiting for a long time?
That isn't the point, bro
Can't you at least let me clean the fish for you?
Customers come here to taste the food cooked by me
Wait, bro
You wanted to help Come, add fish to the gravy
Take it off the stove after it boils once

Will you give me a lift?
ML, got scared, huh?
Coming...shall we race?
Showing off in front of your girlfriend?
Why don't you show off in front of your boyfriend?
If you are really gutsy, race with my college friends and win
I thought their car stopped here That's why I stopped
Both cars have disappeared!
Let's drive ahead and see
Let's go
'Fish Gravy And Mud Pot'
Oh! Our bistro
Hope dad doesn't see me
A big warm hello Are you all doing fine?
The flight from Tamil Nadu arrived late today
So the fish that was flown down is also late
That's why we are late in serving our fish gravy
Please don't mistake me 2 minutes and you can have a feast
Not only that
Today is the 10th anniversary of 'Fish Gravy And Mud Pot'
So fish gravy will be served on the house for everyone today
Bro, is it catfish gravy?
- 'Appuchi' - 'Aiyah'
Are you from Chettinad?
Yes, sir, I'm from Pillayarpatti
Why shouldn't girls have goals?
Boys stayed 10 months in the womb and girls came out in 3 months?
- 'You always get it wrong' - Why did you grab the phone, dad?
'Hey! Show some respect'
Gawd! Your father-in-law
My dad grabbed the phone-
What now?
Why are you arguing with your husband?
Wonderful son-in-law, I swear!
If he's IAS I am IFS
He wanted to become a Collector I wanted to work abroad
No one has any right to stop me
'I have'
'Because I'm your husband!'
So are you the sole authority for my entire life?
'You may think I don't have that authority, Bhanu'
'But I exercise full authority over my girls'
'It's my responsibility to make sure their life isn't wasted'
Responsibility and all that crap...
...is more a mother's forte
Try to understand tha-
- Put your legs down - 'Not true at all'
You dress skimpily and look how you sit
'Can't raise girls abroad the same way we do in India'
The criteria isn't which country they are born in
Who brings them up is what counts
They have been raised by their mother
'That's why I am scared!'
My daughters will be brought up much better than the girls in your family
'Hey! Don't talk about my family'
'We have drifted apart only because of your foolish talk'
'Make sure it isn't permanent'
What is it?
- Some friend, ma - 'Are you there, Bhanu?'
Someone is at the door I'll talk to you later
Why should some friend talk to you?
Won't the name show up there?
No idea, mom
Oh! You have a bevy of friends you don't know their names?
Listen, what did I tell your dad just now?
I was talking for your sake
That's why I dragged his family too
Get that phone Give it to me
- Ma, please - Listen to me
Get this into your head
She's miming me even before I finish, pa
Leave her alone She is just a kid
Come here Infant monkey!
- Give me the phone - What, ma?
Get into a skirt and come
If I catch you dressed itsy bitsy like this...
...I'll rip you to pieces
Hey! How did you get in here?
- How did you enter my room? - Through your balcony
Did you jump in from the balcony?
If my mom finds out, she'll kill me Why did you come?
To collect the thanks due to me
Yes
Because of your challenge I risked my life
And won the race against the KL college students
You won't call me
Or thank me!
You drag me into this and ask me coolly why I'm here!
Does it justify you barging into a girl's room at 10:00 p.m?
What's this, dear?
- 'Dosa' - Why is it so watery?
This is just the batter It will become a 'dosa' on a skillet!
Okay, getting late Thank me properly
- Beer also waiting - 'He'll bug me till I thank him'
- Go now - Thanks for your thanks!
Thank God, my monkey sis isn't here
Guys, let's go I got my 'thanks'
'How many damn monkeys?'

Too much work load last night, son?
Daaad!
"Yesterday's fish gravy so yummy is tempting even my tummy"
Listen, I've saved fish gravy for you
- Dad, is it yesterday's leftover? - Didn't you hear my song?
You know I don't like old stuff
Fish gravy always tastes much better the next day
Even if my grandma cooks fresh fish gravy...
...she will serve it to me only after a couple of days
The measures and 'masala' she used...aah...ahaa...wow!
This reminds me of her cooking
Please eat, dear
Dad, I don't want to eat
Eat for my sake
- I don't like it - Okay, forget it
It's been a long time since we both spent time chatting
Shall we chat today?
'He has started!'
Now you'll share your college news
I'll share my bistro news
You go first
Nothing happened in college
Then let me tell you what happened at our bistro
Yesterday one chap walked in
He was such a comedy piece
Pa, please make me a 'dosa'
I'll tell you while making it
Stay right here
Don't disappear
Yesterday the flight was delayed
So fish was also delivered late
I had to clean and chop the fish
I had to make the gravy in a hurry-burry
When I served it to the waiting customers...
...all of a sudden
...a Chinese made such a hullabaloo
I rushed to his table
A thorn got stuck in his throat it seems
His poor wife...!
She called me
Brought the roof down
Son...sonny?
Sonny, where did you go?
Eat your 'dosa'
It's a yummy ghee roast
Son...Karthik
Why don't you employ a maid?
- Just won't work - Why not...?
My son and I will drift apart then
When he gets married?
I will gladly take care of my daughter-in-law too
When you get a grandson or granddaughter?
Both will be born and I will take care of all 4 very well
Annamalai, first take care of yourself
Who will take care of you if something happens to you?
Thanks for your kind concern, sir
The police have warned me
They are aware it is a student from this class
Own up, dude
Only me, huh? I'll kill you
Aiyo! This fellow
'Wild monkey'
Hey! He's looking at you
He's the one, madam
He snitched
Er...not me, madam
'Serves you right!'
What is your proof?
Take a look
I have the full video
He is clean bowled
You can take a close up-look
'Howzzat!'
'Height of happiness!'
'You snitched to my mom, right?'
'Karthi, don't let her win'
'Put on your thinking cap'
"Is just a day enough?"
Aiyaiyo!
"Is today enough for me to sing-"
Women were humiliated
So wars were waged in Ramayana and Mahabharata
In today's times...? God help me!
Yes, madam I'll accept
But I have a good reason
What?
India's pride is 2 big epics
Ramayana and Mahabharata
In both, wars were waged to honor a woman's dignity
Same reason, because a student from KL College humiliated one of our girls...
...I defeated him in a car race
Whichever city or country girls are disgraced in...
...we should fight and ask for justice, ma'am
'Where did he copy this from?'
In Mahabharata it was war Here it was car, that's all
'What, bro?'
'Performance flopped, huh?'
'Will I let it flop?'
You didn't punish the girl who asked me to race
Didn't even ask me to identify her
That's why I thanked you
Who else, ma'am? Our Pavi of course
'Lord Muruga, bless me'
Greetings!
Taste our coconut milk dumplings?
We are here to nab the accused
Who is the accused?
He is seated there
Customers are here now
If you arrest him now, it will be a panic situation here
Please wait outside
I'll somehow send him over
Okay, send him out as soon as he eats
Hey! Bro, come here
What happened, big bro?
That chap in a pink shirt is a thief it seems
Give him this sweet dumpling and send him out discreetly
That's all?
Don't raise your voice Do it quietly
- I'll take care - Go...go
'They have blocked both entrances'
Coconut milk dumpling, bro
Complement from our boss
Is your boss trying to send me out luring me with sweet pudding?
Coming
Did you call me, sir?
Just 2 entrances for such a big bistro?
How will people like us doing a risky job enter or exit?
Please understand
Keep a secret entrance
When I bought the shop it was exactly like this, sir
You will demolish it right now and make a secret entrance
Otherwise-
Why were you whistling?
They were telling me the milk cooker wasn't working
So I was whistling a demo to them
See you, 'ka
'Better to be caught by the police than be trapped in her web'
Who is this 'sister' in a shirt of leather?
- 1 coffee - Master chef isn't here
The master is here, madam
'The master hasn't come What will he do?'
- Greetings, sir Mari, got caught, huh?
You shouldn't hit me I've surrendered, right?
- Hey! Bro - 'Made the coffee as well!'
Serve madam
It's yummy
I've never in my life had such good coffee
Who is the coffee master?
Big brother?
Madam is calling you
I'm just coming
He's the one, madam
Good afternoon
What's the name?
I asked for your name
Thanks a lot, madam
You've impressed me with just 1 cup of coffee
No one till date has impressed me like this
Hereafter whenever I come here only you should make coffee for me
Your coffee is priceless!
He's the employer I'm the employee
You own this place?
Yes, madam
What modesty!
Please come again
What, madam?
So the Chettiar has got himself set for life!
Thief...!
Dad...daaad?
What happened, boy?
Hey! Who called you?
I called my dad
Sonny...!
How is my plan?
Dad, why did you tie me up?
Only then you won't run while I rub this oil on you
Oil, huh?
No chance for you
Now watch me apply this on your head
Don't, pa Nooooooooo!
I'll pour it into your mouth
Only if you soak in it, you won't have blisters on your tongue
And your cheeks will be glowing like mine
Then you should listen to something I tell you
Will you listen?
You should celebrate your birthday this year with all of us in our restaurant
Only if you agree I'll untie the rope
- 'Don't hurt my neck' - 'Get out'
Why are you pushing him?
Bloody beggar! Walked in without a pie on him
- Are you okay? - No problem
This is no big deal
My dear Mother Teresa
Beggars aren't allowed inside the restaurant
Come along now
Hey! Where's the birthday boy?
Whose birthday is it today?
But you told my mom and me it's your birthday and brought me here
You won't come if I told you the truth
Also your mom won't let you stay so late
That's why I lied
If it was his birthday I wouldn't even have come, I'm leaving
What is your problem?
He is really selfish
He'll get anyone caught so as to escape a tight situation
Didn't he join the car race for your sake?
And you are so reluctant to even thank him
He likes to race
Why did he snitch about my friends to my mom?
What's your problem?
We are having fun with our friends
How does this concern me?
My nature is to feel bad seeing an old man on the way
But his nature is to enjoy the sight instead
Happy birthday, bro
He is our special guest All of you please greet him
This is Karthik's character
Yes, dad
Son, come soon
I'll be there, dad
He'll be here soon Change into your casuals
Hey! When will you cut the cake?
I've kept the cake on that table, bro
Hey! Who let the doggie out?
It's this dog's birthday And his birthday too
Hit him
Try smearing it on my face!
He is boiling mad now
What?
Bro, smear it
Smear the cream all over his face
I don't know why
But he isn't taking my call
Karthik might be busy
Let's cut the cake on his behalf and celebrate his birthday
The cake may get spoilt
You've been waiting for so long
Alright
Hey! Give him your gift
This is a makeup kit, idiot
I thought it was your birthday
Can't even give it to him for his sister or mom to use it either
Doesn't he live with his mom?
It's just him and his dad
That's why he has a problem interacting with girls
Why that dazed look?
Your mom isn't alive?
Only my dad
Just stop at that mall
I'll be back
Stop here
You are suddenly giving me a special gift separately?
Yes, it is special
Don't tell your blabbermouth friends
Very true I shouldn't tell them
Aiyo, 'appa'!
Turn the car around Let's go to the temple
Temple would've closed by now
Oh no! You should go to the temple today, come
Aiyo...dad!
Quick, son
Swami, greetings
Need to make an offering to God
Thank you, Lord
Bless you, my son
Listen, son
I thought you'll come to our bistro and we could celebrate your birthday together
But you didn't turn up
I felt terrible, son During special occasions...
...when everyone celebrates with their family
...my heart feels so heavy being all by myself
Dad...!
Dad...dad!
What, dear?
I can't find a single shirt in my wardrobe
I've rinsed them all
Why do you do this, pa?
Wear the new set of clothes on the table for you
Dad, that looks like a wedding suit
As per your moon sign today is your birthday
Wear what I bought for you
I can't wear all that, dad I'll be the laughing stock in college
You'll look awesome, trust me
Wear it What a fuss you're making!
Dad...!
Hi da, did you see the gift?
Who, sir?
Terrorist?
'We've kidnapped a boy'
'We intend killing him'
'We asked him his last wish'
'He says he wants to see you before dying'
Who is the boy?
Did Karthik say he wants to see me before dying?
- What are you doing? - Want to play a video game with me?
Ouch! It hurts Someone please save me
Now why are you hitting me?
Why did you play the fool?
Dad made me wear this and go to college today
How can I show up in college in this outfit?
I was so scared you know
Get lost!
Pavi, stop
I must be lucky to get a friend like you
Don't lie to me
'She believed it right away'
Seriously, Pavi
That's why I left my friends and followed you like a pup-
Don't you think it's a little too much?
Found out, huh? Get drenched now!
That was really funny!
- Wait, don't hit me - You'll never reform
Get lost!

'You don't have a mother I heard'
Hi ma, how are you?
'I was so scared you know'
'Do you also like Pavi, ma?'
'Me too'
'Look at this'
'He doesn't seem to like whatever I do for him'
Please sit down
No, it's okay
No, if you keep standing then I'll stand too
Okay...okay, I'll sit
- What happened? - What happened, madam?
You are not your usual self?
Nothing of that sort
Any problem at home?
How did you guess that?
Coffee's taste is a giveaway
Is it wife-related issu-?
My wife is no more
It's alright
I'm the unlucky one, madam
Looks like you loved your wife very much
- 1 son - How old is he?
He's 19 College student
So he is the one who has upset you
I have pampered him too much
But you are not blaming anyone
So whomever we like a lot...
...we can't let them down by deriding them
Am I right?
In that case this coffee is really good
I am glad
'Tell me'
What is this?
You've sent me a divorce notice?
'Yes'
When you fell in love with me what did you tell me?
'Why rake up all that now?'
'When I was young I would have shoved my feet into my mouth'
So you were a fool when you fell in love?
My dear, don't-
And you got enlightened when you went to your home town Trichy
Even then you got a little wiser only after you fell in love with me
Don't talk to dad like this please, ma
Shut up
'If I'm honest why do you hit my child?'
Let me talk to my son-in-law Why do you get so angry?
Don't interfere, pa
He's asking me to resign my job
Is that why you woke me up at 5:00 a.m and made me study?
I didn't study in the lap of luxury
I gave up my food, sleep and happiness to study
- I put in a lot of effort - Please be a little patient
That's how I elevated those who didn't even know ABC to a refined level
Doesn't he even know A, B, C properly, ma?
Why are you provoking her?
'You've raised your eldest daughter just like you so arrogantly!'
Do you have the sole license for temerity?'
You shut up
Why should we bother if he wants to show off his male chauvinism?
Our mom earns well and we are well off
We don't need him
'You've taught them money equals joy'
Agree to the divorce, mom
Hey! What's that strange noise?
Who is honking? Just go and check
Okay, ma
You want me to sign this divorce notice, right?
Mom, don't
I'll do it now Where's the pen?
Why are you honking and torturing us?
Get in, darling
Why?
Get in I'll tell you
'Such a pain!'
'As if my parents aren't enough!'
What's this?
This will be our 1st proper date
What arrogance!
What the hell do you think of yourself?
Love, huh?
With whom?
You of course
You have no manners whatsoever?
The kind of situation I am stuck in, problems I'm facing...
...without caring two hoots you're behaving like a perverted animal
Look here! Don't let your tongue run
What is that supposed to mean?
All you men are beasts
Speak for your dad No wonder you are anti-men
Is that so?
Then one look at you, I can easily guess how your dad will be
Don't you dare deride my dad
I will malign him What will you do?
Deriding my dad!
Get lost
I'm not planning to set up a worldwide chain of our eatery
But anyway let me ask my son his opinion
All this will be his one day
'Of course, junior boss'
'Both of you sit down talk it over and let us know'
'Inform us of your arrival That will do'
'We will wait for you'
Son...?
Why are you lying down like this?
Any problem in your college?
Nothing of that sort
You fought with your friends?
Whatever it is, we can have a heart to heart chat
I told you it's nothing
Leave me alone, dad
Okay, son
Shall I get you a cup of hot milk?
- No need - Hot water?
Didn't you hear me say 'no'?
Okay...okay
Son?
What now?
Got a headache?
Hey! What's this?
Your hair is all wet
If you remain like this...
...you'll catch a cold and land up with fever
Where's the towel? Just wait
Dad, no need
Be quiet I know what to do
Why do you torture me like this?
Get lost!
Forever acting
'Karaikudi'
- Your father is reborn - Thanks a lot
Hey! Junior Chettiar
'Aiyo! Annamalai!'
'Your wife is no more'
'How will you manage with this baby all by yourself?'
"You said 'It's all a drama' skeptically"
"I am 'Forever acting' you said accusingly"
"You said 'It's all a drama' vilifying me"
"I am 'Forever acting' you blamed me"
"In your comfort rests his laughter"
"In your pain lies his flutter and fluster"
"In a shroud of tears a life destined to wither"
"You said 'It's all a drama' skeptically"
"I am 'Forever acting' you derided me"
Son-in-law
Please come, sit down
I haven't come here to sit down
We've come here to know what you have decided
What decision?
My eldest daughter was not lucky enough to live with you
Annamalai, even if you don't want a wife...
...your son needs a mother
Why beat around the bush, son-in-law?
Are you willing to marry your wife's younger sister or not?
I can't forget your older daughter Nachiya Memories of her are still evergreen
You don't worry
I'll look after my son
Forgive us, son-in-law
We won't trouble you or visit you hereafter
We will take leave Let's go
"Your words a sword for eyes to be gored?"
"Or latch to a heart torn apart?"
"Or a scorpion crawling in your ears without warning?"
"A loud echo of unhappiness?"
"Did you anticipate this?"
"Hereafter is your plight this an abysmal abyss?"
"He was your path sunny in life's winding journey"
"He became your shoes in the path he chose"
"He even bore the thorns for you"
"He is your creator, father so true"
"His wishes he wrapped for you to be glad"
"He dissolved all his dreams for you To make your wishes come true"
"He is an actor, so you declared"
"The world as a stage you compared"
Look over there Say 'amma'
'Amma'...mother
'Amma'
"You said 'It's all a drama' accusingly"
"I am 'Forever acting' you told me"
Ma, please eat
Eat, ma This is for you
"Your words a sword for eyes to be gored?"
"Or latch to a heart torn apart?"
"Or a scorpion crawling in your ears without warning?"
"A loud echo of distress?"
"Did you anticipate this?"
"Hereafter is your plight this an abysmal abyss?"
Hey! Bhuvanendra What's the issue?
Tell me
Your restaurant is doing well I thought?
Why are you sounding so down in the dumps?
Tell me why you called
Oho! Dad and son had a tiff as usual, huh?
Both of you come over to this island
That's the only trip missing in my life now!
You know very well I'll call you only if there is a specific reason
Listen to me and both of you land up here
Then just watch how your life takes a happy turn
What joy will I get coming there all alone?
So if Karthik is willing you'll come too, right?
You call him if you like
Tell me, uncle
Son and dad had a tiff as usual, huh?
Don't rub it in, uncle
'Forget it'
'I called your dad to this island'
'He says he won't go anywhere without you'
'So come to our island tomorrow'
- 'I am not coming, uncle' - What is he saying?
Like the fish his father cooks he's slipping away
Tell me, aunty
'Come over to our island with your dad'
You must come
'Or else I will never talk to you'
Hey! Bhuvanendra Where are you taking us now?
Annamalai, I have your best interests at heart
In fact-
What is it?
Uncle, you want us to meet a god man?
He is the best interest I was telling you about
Go and meet him
Come, son
Annamalai?
Welcome
How are you?
Swami, how do you know my nam-?
Your dear friend Bhuvanendran told me
Oh! Okay, Swami
How are all your friends?
They are all fine, uncle
And you?
Managing
So you manage by yourself
- You walk with me - I'm coming
What's the problem?
- Tell me - Nothing, sir
Nothing, huh? Then shall we go back?
I am kind of depressed, Swami
What is the reason?
My son doesn't seem to understand me
Earlier on he used to talk to me properly
What is the 'earlier on' time frame?
His mother died soon after giving birth to Karthik
Did he start talking right then?
No, Swami
He was alright till he was 16 or 17
But of late he isn't speaking his heart out to me
Look here, haven't you gone through that age too?
Yes
How do you expect a 19 year old lad, that too a teenager to open up to his dad?
He won't even open his shirt
I'm not asking for too much, Swami
How does big or small matter? You expect it from him, continue
No, he is my whole world, Swami
Okay
Like families sit around the dining table and discuss...
...he doesn't do so with me
Then during festivals and birthdays family members get together and celebrate
But he is never at home
I feel like an orphan-
That's all? Can be fixed easily
Nothing else, right?
There's something else nagging you
I can sense it
He said something that pierced my soul, Swami
I've heard the best and the worst Go ahead and tell me
He said, I am 'forever acting'
Is that why you are upset?
All of us are actors, right?
If we dress up as a dog we have to bark, right?
Let's go
Swami, I don't get what you're saying
You will in course of time Let's talk as we walk back
Forgiveness is the only remedy for intolerance
That remed-
- You turn to wait now - Okay, Swami
Come with me
You look tired?
Whomever I talk to it ends up in a fight
Do you get into a duel with swords?
Not like that I am too frank
And they don't like it
No, but your dad gave me another version
His complaint is you hardly talk to him
Yes, he plagues me with questions about my friends, what I spoke, college news
He keeps torturing me 24x7
Uncle, how will a youngster confide all this to his dad?
Okay, don't tell him
How about lending an ear to what he has to say instead?
He will start off with his home town, his mother and all the folk lore
How long can I lend my ear to this torture?
How can this be a torture?
Whatever he's saying is true, right?
His home town and his mother
Okay, what else?
He wants me to treat him as a friend too
How is it possible to think of a father as friend?
Not possible?
- No chance - No chance, huh?
You explained this to me so clearly and patiently
Same way you could've told him without hurting his feelings
But you hurt him real bad
I don't get what you're saying
You were too hasty with your words
Oh! You mean what I told him the other day?
I was angry and I yelled at him
How can I set that right now?
Sonny, words are like bullets that fly out of a gun
Sometimes it can even be fatal
Lucky for you that didn't happen
The poor man is alive
Just utter the word we discovered
Just go up to him and say 'sorry'
I've never apologized to anyone
Did I ask you to apologize to 'anyone'?
Only to your own father, right?
Will anyone apologize to their own dad, uncle?
It will look like I am acting
Come
Tell me, Swami
I'll tell you something Will you do it?
Definitely, Swami
Take a dip in the sea
Wow! Great I'm ready
Whatever you say we'll comply, Swami
Not just an ordinary dip
Put your head in, submerge
Count 10 and only then resurface
Oh! Superb I'll go...I'll go
Can you do it?
You say 'hahn hahn' and still stand right here?
Okay, right away
Son, be careful Watch your step
Didn't you take Karthik and Annamalai out, dear?
What's taking them so long?
They will be back
Bhuvanendra What the hell happened to us?
Karthik, why are you being so rude to uncle?
Stay out of this, Sudha You don't know anything
Even I haven't spoken to my wife like that!
Yes, aunty, ask uncle to answer my dad's question
Aunty, huh?
Good lord! He interchanged both the souls, huh?
Aunty, what are you saying?
Don't get tense
Both of you sit down I'll explain it to you
Both of you have been interchanged by our Swami-ji
Interchanged huh? Don't blabber, tell us clearly
The father's soul is now in the son's body
And vice versa
You're so damn flippant like changing a shirt?
If you tell this to the seer he will say 'the body is a shirt!'
Thank your stars you are both men
Once when both of us had a problem...
...he interchanged our souls
Imagine our plight!
Think about it
Both of you go back home
The dad will attend college and the son will go to his dad's bistro
Get to know the plus and minus of each other's lives
Our Swami-ji will come back one day
Till then Karthik is Annamalai, Annamalai is Karthik
If we tell this to anyone will anyone believe us, uncle?
If you tell anyone you will immediately be admitted in a mental health institution
Be careful
Mum is the word!
'Praise be to Lord Muruga The wielder of the victorious spear'
'Praise be to Muruga the brother of Ganesha'
Bless me, Lord
Officers have come from the Health department
Okay, I'll come
Your father has to come
Oh! Okay My dad will be there soon
Greetings
Greetings, anna
I thought your father was walking in
Thank you, anna
You said some officers are here
Where are they seated?
Let's wait for your father
I can manage
What is this for?
- For what? - Very healthy if you eat on it
The chlorophyll content in it is good for our brain
Hello, sir How are you?
They are our regular customers
You can ask them
If there is any fault even I'll get to know
- Any problem eating on this? - None at all
What is this?
A secluded place for mothers to nurse their babies
The great Tamil poet Bharathi has said...
...a baby's bravery depends on the intake of mother's milk
If she is inhibited about lack of privacy nursing her baby...
...how will the baby be a brave adult?
That's why we've built a separate room
Greetings
Hey! Junior 'machan'
What a surprise! You're dressed in traditional Indian attire
Go and attend to your work
- 'Strange indeed!' - Checks need to be signed
- I can do it right away - Only your father can sign them
Oh! Okay I'll call him
Okay
Dad!
For 20 years I've ensured it is secure
Even I tried to make it secure but it slipped
- What do you mean? - My 'dhoti' of course
I meant my respect
Everyone is watching us
Do a good cover-up job
Appa, you indulged me and came dressed up really modern
Only for your sake, son
Okay, let me list out the names of everyone here
Tell me if I'm right or wrong
He is our cook 'anna'
Brother...!
I came like this for my son's sake
This is Aamir bhai
This is our accountant
This is Munnusami 'anna'
That is Kumar 'anna'
This is our 'Bandicoot bro'
Big brother!
Okay, come We've got lots to do
'I am totally confused'
You have to sign some checks it seems
How can I sign? Only you can
I can only sign in front of you
Here, bro
While you drink tea, he will sign
Okay, bro
Dad, do you remember all their names?
Why?
You must come here regularly
Why should I come?
It's a wonder you've stepped into our bistro, sheer God's grace
Make use of this opportunity and learn the ropes
Uncle, eh?
'Isn't Karthik there?'
He is here
My voice confused him
He is my friend
- Who is it? - Talk to him
Hello, Karthik here
'Hey! Where did you go?'
'You didn't pick my calls You are not at home either'
'At least today you answered'
'Come to college at once'
'Otherwise you will be expelled'
Oh gawd! Is that so?
Karthik will come right away
What happened?
Go to your college now, otherwise you'll be expelled it seems
Only you should go Now you are Karthik
Oh! Yes
We have reached, dad
You go to the classroom See you, bye
Hey, sonny Show me your classroom
Okay, let me take you
You are on your toes all the time
I feel so brisk ever since I entered your body
Yes, indeed
My body grew up on buttermilk
But your body-
'You broke my beautiful nose'
And you come like a professor now
What do you intend doing?
Why are you calling him now?
I have to snub someone Put your hands around my shoulder
'Wretched fellow!'
'He walked past ignoring me royally'
'You dare act so familiar with my girl, huh?'
'I'll get even-'
I haven't even got a notebook
I'm never in the habit of bringing one
This is my classroom
This, huh? Looks awesome
'Where is he?'
These steps remind me of Lord Muruga's temple
Greetings
Hey Karthik!
Are you fine, bro?
What is wrong with him?
He looks like an uncle
Greetings to one and all
Wonder what he is up to?
Lord Muruga!
It's okay No problem
Karthik, what's this new attire?
Did you go to India to campaign in an election?
Not at all, I went to solve a family issue
Why are you talking like director Visu?
Karthik, I called you But your father answered
Is he trying to fix a bride for you?
Or checking if you are in love
Did you see Pavithra?
Who is Pavithra?
Who, huh?
Hi Pavi
Let me introduce you to a new face, come
Karthik, you wanted to know who Pavithra was, right?
This is Pavithra
Greetings, madam
- I will pour acid on you - Good lord!
Get up from there
Why is this kid getting so angry?
Sir, this Karthik
You don't have to tell me a monkey has a tail!
The whole of Malaysia knows Karthik is a prankster
He leaves no evidence behind
'Looks like Karthik is extremely mischievous'
But for your pranks...
Madcap!
Move aside
Sit down
Wash the blood
I drank that yesterday
Whisky or brandy?
I am allergic to brandy
I have to murder all our targets
Ask Mala to come
Has he reached?
'I was told he has changed for the sake of his son'
'To this extreme?'
'Pavi, by flirting with that chimpanzee you made our love even more interesting'
'You're a dove who has made this don fall for you'
Mala, you take care of the left and right
I will handle the center
Please come
'He is missing now?'
Do you know where the gentleman here went?
He just left
"The moon sparkles above The same moon seen from below"
"The moon with a silvery glow Likewise the lucent lantern of love"
"The moon in a lustrous robe The same moon all over the globe"
"The moon with an ivory glow Identical luminous lamp of love"
"The same moon with a pearly halo professed her love you know"
"The very same moon somehow kindled desire you know"
"Sheathed in shyness was that moon ditto"
"Showers kisses head to toe"
"Raindrops of kisses from that moon, oh wow!"
"In the purple sky the cream crescent"
"Waxes and wanes as the same present"
"Love professed too by that beaming boon"
"Made me wait, the milky moon"
"The moon bathed in shy delight"
"The same moon wanted us to unite"
"The very same moon wants us to be in tune"
"The moon sparkles above The same moon seen from below"
"The graceful moon with a silvery glow Likewise the lucent lantern of love"
"Million poems the moon solemnizes"
"Many lovers' eyes she magnetizes"
"The pearly moon makes a poet out of me"
"She blooms over my shoulder serenely"
"Oho...she blooms close to me This flowery moon silvery"
"The midnight sky she glorifies"
"Thanks to the moon my desire intensifies"
"Key at night locks 2 hearts together"
"She paints a love-art to treasure"
"A masterpiece of love this moon paints from above"
"In the purple sky the pearly crescent"
"Waxes and wanes as the same present"
"The moon in a lustrous robe The same moon all over the globe"
"The gilded moon in a glimmering hue"
"The same moon shimmering true"
"The moon with an ivory glow Identical luminous lamp of love"
"The moon in all her radiance"
"The same moon dances in exuberance"
"The moon all over the world Same moon spreads joy untold"
"The very same moon tonight"
"Winks in wondrous delight"
I swear this grandpa is a pain
Why can't he have a restroom of his own?
Do you know why I am here?
Use the restroom and go to bed, grandpa
'Grandpa, huh?'
'Hurry up'
I need to lock the door and go back to sleep
Whether I'm a grandpa or a 20 year old youngster...
...you'll find out only after I kiss you
Let me begin with your lovely hands
If I start something...
...I'll never rest until I see it through
Your cheeks are now my target
- Thief...! - They have started their ruckus
Thief...help!
Let's go check
Pavi, I'm Karthik
'Ma, hurry up'
Oh gawd! Dad
Too tanked, I came here to kiss her
If I'm caught, my father's respect will go for a toss
Pavi's teddy!
I shouldn't show my face to her
Ma, why are your hands trembling?
Don't get scared
Who is scared?
I'm much braver than your dad You know that!
You bring dad even here?
Keep quiet
Not there
Don't hit me
I'll get my gun
Why are you clawing me, pa?
Go, grandpa
See, he isn't anywhere there
Which means he has to be there
Ma, you are stating the obvious!
Why are you crossing limits just like your father?
Don't act over smart with me
Okay
When I see him, I'll hit him hard on his head
You stab him
Get your law point straight
Aim at his hands or legs
Don't stab his stomach for no reason I can't face a murder case, okay?
Let's go
I'll go in and latch the door
Meanwhile you call the police
Okay, got it?
The latch is broken
- Who broke it? - She did
I didn't She did
Don't lie
You stole my handbag and went in to hide
Both of you have used the loo without latching
Shameless! I'll come to that later
What to do now without a latch?
Let us try threatening him
Hey, you had better come out I am not a normal woman
If you don't come out-
My mother will come in
Why did you drag me into this?
I did such a good job of bringing you up
- Ma - What?
He ran that way
He got away? Is he that smart?
'Catch him'
'Why were you busy yakking?'
'Grandpaaaa'
'Don't call grandpa I'll manage'
'He is coming up, grab him'
'Stop making a racket Scaredy cats!'
'Catch him He is running'
'Pa, catch him'
Ma, first send grandpa He is so male chauvinistic
Where are you going, father?
- Is this the way? - Go there
'He has gone up'
Go up, pa He has jumped
He shouldn't jump and die You must shoot him
Shoot him
Aiyo! My poor flower pots!
Don't shoot my pots Shoot him
He is escaping Aim properly
Watch me now
You shot the lock and let him escape easily
- How could you, pa? - Waste, grandpa
Thank you, grandpa
He escaped
Get that right!
Don't hit me
He ran out in slow motion
He thanked us in Sivaji's Ganesan's voice!
I didn't wear my glasses
I get a raw deal with husband, father and kids!
Watch me in action tomorrow
'Yes, he'll come and steal daily!'
Go left
You go to the right
- Reduce intake of burger - Get lost, fatso
Why did you hit me?
What do you mean? It's disgusting if you talk like that
You are disgusting yourself What are you disgusted about?
Kiddo, why do you keep repeating it?
- You are like my own daughter - Daughter, huh!?
There is no peace at home
Neither here in college He is torturing me
Why is this girl so short-fused?
Then what?
If you claim the girl who loves you to be your daughter, why won't she be angry?
You can be in love and squabble
But this kind of melodrama is too much!
Go, talk to her
'Oh! Really?'
'Then she is my daughter-in-law'
'Wonder why they drifted apart'
'I wanted to see Pavi darling And I can't find her at all'
Just you wait!
Get lost!
I'll get you
Will you tease girls?
Is it for the don?
You can go
- Stop...stop...for the don? - Of course
Why...?
As a security measure, don
As a safety measure, won't you measure how much you sip?
Thank God 2 of them are off duty
Why is your aim going amiss?
True, don
Nowadays I don't feel like...
...handling a gun
Then...?
I want to make crisp 'dosas'
Fry yummy 'poori'
Make piping hot 'vada'
These wishes are...
...ticking in my mind
"For a while...a little while"
"Can't we flirt in style?"
"That time...at sunset prime"
"Won't love drizzle so sublime?"
Making 'dosa'?
Have you fried the 'poori' already?
Go
Your wish will come true very soon
Did you get what she said?
I think 'akka' wants to start a roadside mobile eatery
Yuck!
How can you blabber like this?
She wants to cook for me and find a place in my heart
She is saying it in a veiled manner
She has someone else in mind
He's making an ass of himself assuming she means him
If you ask him, he says 'don'
He is calling us
'Akka'
'Amma'
Shall we go look over there?
You haven't selected anything?
Nothing matched perfectly
- Okay, let's go try there - No need
- Don't go there - Why...?
- He is there, ma - Who...?
One who broke my beautiful nose and got me into trouble in class
That rascal!
'My son's size is so tough to get'
That tall, handsome chap?
Why should you be scared? I'll question him
Ma, he won't even answer any question in class
As if he'll answer you!
He's a notorious rowdy
Listen, if the questions are right any rowdy will be forced to reply
Why be scared when I'm here?
I won't let him go
We are going to the trial room
Lord Muruga...!
'She said he is a rowdy'
'But he's getting thrashed!'
Why did you hit me, bro?
I am bro, huh? Why are you acting?
Useless!
Give me the pink dress
Hey! Fatso...!
Aiyaiyo...bro!
Bear the pain, bro
You're bleeding heavily
Get the first aid kit
'She called a Buddhist disciple a rowdy!'
Shall we go?
Over...over
- Just a few minutes - He's helping the chap who hit him
- That's right - Isn't that great?
Did he hit him and then administering first aid?
Nutcase! Didn't you hear her say 'He's helping the chap who hit him'?
Bro, you came here to hit me
If I had got beaten...
...you wouldn't have been hurt so bad
Please forgive me
'Don't fall for that'
Karthik, I shouldn't have hit you
No...no
- Please forgive me - My fault completely
You should accept my apology
Watch it, don't lean on the hurt leg
Slowly...slowly
Please take care of him
Hello
Hello, madam
Please forgive me
Why should I forgive you?
My daughter who's standing there
She said such nasty stuff about you I misunderstood you totally
To make up for it...
...I would like you to come home for lunch
Oh! You are Pavithra's mother?
Yes, please visit us
I will certainly come for Pavithra's sake
- Heard him? - 'He nailed her'
You spoke about Buddha
You quoted the Bible and the Quran
You spoke in depth about Bhagavad Gita
Are you a Hindu, Muslim or Christian?
Who are you?
I'm an ordinary human being
Nonsense...!
Don't yell out your own name from the roof top
She can be rude sometimes
You come in Lunch is ready
He isn't an ordinary student
Extremely intelligent
Being calm by nature is an accompaniment to wisdom
Please advise your son-in-law about it
Bro...?
You shower love on enemies too?
Our Tamil poet Valluvar has said 'Can love ever be latched?'
There's no latch even for the restroom here!
If we talk of dessert you'll bring in bitter gourd!
Get a carpenter to fix it
Why are you standing? Please sit down
Which should I serve first?
There is plain rice
Excellent
I made 'biriyani'
Sweet pudding
Gravy, curry-
Why did you take this much trouble for me?
I wasn't tired at all even after cooking all this
In fact I haven't cooked like this for anyone in my life
- No, pa? - Yes, dear
Only today I knew you can cook all this!
Very true
- How is my 'biriyani'? - Delicious
- Let me serve you 'raita' - No, it's enough
Eat well
Let me serve you little
Bro...?
I'm carrying a big burden in my heart
You are the ideal person to get it off my chest
'Started his lament!'
Please share it with me
My daughter and son-in-law drifted apart due to a misunderstanding
So they are separated now
I tried to unite them but failed miserably
I thought if you could-
Grandpa is blabbering all our family problems to him!
From what you've told me now one factor is crystal clear
Sometimes for some people...
...even Goddess Saraswathi will seem ordinary
This isn't the fault of the Goddess
Mom, sweet pudding for me?
Wait, you have this daily
He's our special guest Give it to him
What are you thinking?
Do you know whom I referred to as Saraswathi?
- You meant my daughter, right? - Sweet pudding
- No, you have - Thanks, uncle
You treated me as part of your family
And shared all your grievances
From now on Bhanumathi alias Saraswathi...
...won't face any problem
- I'm so glad - I'll take leave
Bye
Keep visiting us regularly
Pretending to be so good because he doesn't want to apologize
'From now on Bhanumathi alias Saraswathi...'
'...will not face any problem'
'No problems whatsoever'
'She won't lack anything'
Sir, madam is here
Will you make coffee for her?
Who and why should I make coffee?
You always-
I should make fish gravy as well as coffee?
What are you there for?
Let that madam make coffee for me for a change
Go
From now on...
...I'll be the one to make coffee for you
I want to talk to you alone
Er...why...?
Can you please spare 10 minutes for me?
Drink your coffee
Traditional style coffee in a 'dabara'
Until now I haven't respected anyone to this extent
'I noticed that'
I have...
...no parents
I have no one to call as my family
But...
...I don't let anyone see this vulnerable side of me
'You'll rip them to pieces, right?'
Reason is 90% of the time sympathy has turned into monstrosity
Men have tried to assault or use me
But...
...your look and your words
To be honest
Even the coffee you make for me is served with love
'When did I make coffee for her?'
You own a big restaurant
The hearts and stomachs of so many customers are appeased-
'Aiyaiyo! She thinks I am dad'
But...!
"Annamalai...Annamalai I fell in love with you impulsively"
"Without a morsel of rice or drop of water I yearn for you in fevered fervor"
"Annamalai...Annamalai I fell in love with you impetuously"
"Without a morsel of rice or drop of water I yearn for you in intense ardor"
"My youthful desire Immersed in love's fire"
"My mind is trapped complete in your moustache neat"
"My anklets want to whisper my love into your ear"
Madam, we have reached my place
The bistro
For your son's sake, you might have changed your dressing style
Even I have changed myself for you
'Looks like gang Mala is seriously in love with my dad!'
But I hope you haven't changed your mind
You must have understood the way I feel for you
'Looks like deep love!'
If you don't get it finally listen-
Hello, who is this?
Is it Pavithra baby?
'Please give the phone to your mom'
For what? She isn't here
Who is on the line? Let me speak
- It's 'him', right? - What's happening?
- 'Is it Bhanumathi madam?' - Yeah, right
How are you? Doing good?
- 'Were you busy?' - I was in the kitchen
No...no
Lot of disturbance here
I'll go upstairs and call from my mobile
Disturbance...?
I called you couple of times last night but couldn't reach you
- Called twice - Yes
No...no, I can-
Wait
1 minute
No signal here
Too much traffic jam inside the house
Traffic jam, huh?
'I'll complain to grandpa and watch what happens to you!'
Grandpa
Just look at this atrocity
Even Sachin's wife is older than him
You call that an atrocity?
It's a sight for sore eyes
Your mom before her marriage used to be so happy like this
I'm seeing it again after so long
'What's wrong with this family?'
Big load off my mind! Let her be, dear
'Go to hell, old man!'
I had sent it in whatsApp
You didn't say anything about it
It's amazing to see both colleges here today
You are all well aware you had a feud for the past 15 years
Isn't that true?
And that has now been resolved
Because of 2 lovely young men...
...and their noble attitude
Do you know what that was?
Forgiveness
'Oh God!'
The reason is just Karthik
In fact it's only Karthik
'Looks like I'll faint!'
"Apologize please"
"Go on your bended knees"
"Whether wrong or right this 5 letter word brings delight"
"Be happy always"
"Sunny side up, life to face"
"Apologize without thinking twice"
"Sorry is a word for the wise"
"Whether wrong or right this 5 letter word breaks silly pride"
"Sunny side up, live always"
"Be happy always"
We've been friends from kindergarten
Ego issues because of boy friends our friendship was strained
Thanks to Karthik's sorry formula, we've become best friends again
- I apologized to her - So did I
'Forgiveness is a very powerful word'
'If we have hurt anyone...'
'...immediately either through a text message or a phone call'
'...or in person, face to face if we ask forgiveness'
'...our hearts and minds will overflow with unlimited joy and peace'
Yes, I know
We can get a load off our head only if we talk freely to each other
You said it right
I feel refreshed
Okay, sure
'I can't stand her phone sessions'
How did you resolve this long drawn feud between KL and ML colleges?
First of all it's wrong to call it a KL and ML college feud
'A minor problem between few students was blown out of proportion'
'That is an even bigger blunder'
Because of 'sorry'...
...generally fights professional or personal have lessened
Malaysians are very happy
Don groups who rely on fights are furious with you
What would you like to tell them?
Initially we lived as beasts in a jungle
Then we moved to civilized parts and lived as humans
This is what lends us pride and dignity
But there are others who still live like animals in the country
'What else can we do but pray these souls reform their ways?'
'You're so young and still how were you able to say and execute such a huge task?'
'Forgiveness is the eldest daughter of love'
'Will your advice be applicable now?'
'Mother and father'
- 'Brother, sister, daughter, son' - I am stuck swatting flies now!
'When these bonds exist bound by tender loving care...'
'...love will shine in this world always'
'Do you all agree with Karthik?'
- Take it, don - Please take it
- Accept it - Give it to me
Hey! Who are you?
Tell us
Why are you glaring at us?
You beggar!
Will you open your mouth or shall I shoot you?
No, don't shoot
Poor soul! He's an old man
Why are you bowing your head in shame?
Where is our don?
Where is he going?
I threatened him with a gun, right?
- Maybe he's peeing in fear - Do you think so?
Black lion has arrived!
A beggar slinked in Where is he, don?
'He was that beggar, huh?'
'No wonder it stinks to high heaven!'
Daily we have been seeing you in uniform
Suddenly seeing you in mufti, we couldn't recognize you, don
Who told you this black coat is my uniform?
Mala...?
Even you didn't recognize me?
Those trousers-
I forgive you
I was like a king in Malaysia
One pipsqueak destroyed my reign
Who is he, don?
Few days ago you had a request
'Nowadays I don't feel like handling a gun'
I want to make crisp 'dosas'
Fry yummy 'poori'
Make piping hot 'vada'
You said that is your wishlist
One last time
Take your gun
And shoot this shrimp
You don't have to hold a gun in your hands after that
Your wish list will come true
You can lead a happy life
I guarantee you that!
This is for all of you too
Why are you sleeping here?
Hey! Did you use my perfume?
I didn't, maybe mom did
- I don't know - Mom...?
Go check
Which place?
I'll be there for sure
You'll be stunned
I'll go to a beauty parlor and come so glamorous you'll be stunned
You'll be shell shocked
What-
Bless you, child
What's this new habit of taking my blessing?
Who wants your blessings?
Then you overheard
Don't let your mind go the wrong way
So desperate!
Me...?
- Hey... - Dad...?
- You eat - Okay, dad
Very tasty, right?
Do you know how much I struggled to earn this money?
Don't know, dad
Eat well
- Is it boiled egg? - Yes, 10 eggs
When I was your age, I didn't even have gravy to eat with rice
One day...
...I had gravy but no rice
Finally I drank the gravy pretending it was rice
Eat to your heart's content
Rice will taste salty because of our sweat and toil
Look at you now
When I told you about my sweat and tears, you couldn't help crying
If you bite a green chilli, anyone will be teary eyed!
'You don't even let me enjoy the food'
Dad, uncle is here
Uncle...?
Who is he referring to as uncle?
- Hi uncle - Uncle...?
- Annamalai...! - Annamalai...?
Annamalai, how come you've changed so much?
All for my son's sake
I also spend money only for my son
Take a seat Please sit
It has been ages since we met
My dear son
What I went through is nothing
There are no words to describe Annamalai's trials and troubles
You don't have to tell me, dad!
I will tell and you have to listen
Only then you'll understand life
Annamalai, we must share our past with our children
Only then they will realize
I do it quite often
Not often, uncle All the time
You went through hell
Life was relatively easier for me
I came alone to Malaysia
I married your mother, you were born, we settled down
Uncle got married in his native town
His wife gave birth to a baby and died immediately
'When relatives...'
'...forced him to marry his wife's sister'
'I can't forget your daughter Nachiya Memories of her are still evergreen'
'You don't worry'
'I will look after my son'
'He came to Malaysia with his infant son'
The hardship he faced after coming to Malaysia
Slept on streets, wandered like a nomad
Finally he started a roadside mobile eatery
'I had a shop next to his'
'That's how we got to know each other well'
'Singing a lullaby to his infant son'
'Taking care of his business too'
'Quite an endeavor!'
'A Chinese who already had his shop there...'
'...because his sales declined'
'...he broke all the terracotta pots in Annamalai's shop'
You dare disrupt my sales?
I shouldn't see you here again
Come here
'Before I could go and enquire...'
'...he hit Annamalai!'
'Looking at Annamalai's plight my heart went into panic mode'
'For all the sacrifices you've made...'
'...until your last breath'
'...you should lack nothing in life, friend'
'Amma'
'Dad still loves you a lot'
'He loves me even more'
'But you or I couldn't-'
'...make him happy in any way'
'At least from now on...'
'...for dad to be happy'
'...guide me, ma'
'I have...'
'...no parents'
'I have no one to call as my family'
The best gift for dad
Step mom Mala!
- How come you are here? - What does that mean?
Isn't today Valentine's day?
I saw Karthik buy a huge bouquet
That wasn't for you, huh?
Come silently
- I'll show you a shocking scene - Where are you taking me?
No need...don't want
- I love you - Thank you!
Bloody pain!
What did you buy for me?
'You are such an Uncle Scrooge, da!'
Come
- Where's grandpa? - No idea!
I'm here, dear
- Hey! Come here - I'm just coming
You brought us here saying we will be shocked
And we are simply standing here!
Not even letting me have a free show!
Whom are you looking for?
Our mom of course
She's right there
Aiyaiyo! She might see us
My daughter looks so radiant!
Why should we hide from your mom?
We must stop an atrocity that's about to happen
- What injustice? - Listen to me
One chap will come now We must grab him
Grandpa will be good at it
- He is here - Our sweet pudding uncle!
- Dad...?! - Son-in-law
You've apologized to me daily and how often!
I should be the one to apologize
Please don't cry Then I'll also start crying
- Daddy - Chitra
I'm so glad, son-in-law
Sorry, dad
Full credit to Karthik for getting us back together and clearing the air for us
Thanks Karthik for bringing my family together
A family has to be under the same roof, right?
Hey! Your parents are there Where are you taking me?
Grandpa will be with them
They've come together, right?
Only you and I must unite now
- Shall we kidnap her now? - Don't be hasty
'Why is my daughter-in-law hitting on me?'
'God help me!'
She is kissing him Not you
Hey...hey! What are you up to?
The other day you asked me in the car
Er...what did I ask?
Karthik, don't act pricey
'What would he have asked?'
I derided your dad the other day
That's why you got mad at me, right?
I shouldn't have spoken ill of him
I was wrong...wrong...wrong!
'Because she spoke ill of me...'
'...Karthik must have fought with this girl'
'Poor thing!'
Dad won't think bad of you
It's okay
I apologized to you, right?
Then why are you running away?
- 'She's following me' - I won't let you go
Hey Karthik, stop
Let go of me
Your parents will be looking for you
Thank God!
Aiyaiyo!
'Escaped from the deer And got snared by the tiger!'
Sonny...?
Don't get scared
Do you know why I saved you?
Why, madam?
So many days
So many nights...
...I haven't slept a wink
Why...?
- Because of your dad - Good lord!
Er...I...I am-
He isn't that kind of a man, madam
The reason for my sleepless nights...
...was out of fear your dad might reject me
But...?
This morning when I went to your restaurant to have coffee
Everyone will propose only love
But I'm proposing marriage
Did he agree to marry you?
Don't address your dad with scant respect
Let me tell you about my life
And the love I have always yearned for
Tell me your decision after hearing my story
No one is here just when I need help
Hey Pavi darling-
Oh uncle...uncle...!
Yes, I am uncle
I changed myself for Karthik's sake
- Someone kidnapped Karthik - Who...?
Someone in a car called gang Mala-
Oh Mala! She's known to me
- Is she your friend? - Yes, our family friend!
No problem then
What an awesome son you have!
He united my parents who were apart for 10 years
Okay, uncle I'll go home
Okay, see you
He also loves me
When he came to propose to me...
...like a fool I spoke ill of you!
That's okay
'Poor thing! She just wants to be loved'
'Otherwise why would she want to marry me?'
I can't live without him
He can't live without you as well
I'll wait for him
'Dads do so much for their kids'
'Are all dads like this?'
'Or is it just you?'
'If a father gets married...'
'...how much a son has to give up'
'Knowing all this...'
'...just to make me happy Karthik is going out of his way for me'
'Amazes me'
I love you, dad
'I am the one who hasn't understood Karthik'
Think about it and let me know
Sure
Hi dad
- Why is it so dark? - Come in first, dad
Ah...lights!
What's all this, son?
Today is your birthday, right?
- Is that so? - Yes, daddy
- I didn't know - But I found out
'During special occasions...'
'...when everyone celebrates with their family'
'...my heart feels so heavy being all by myself'
Dad...?
It's been ages since we had a heart to heart
Please sit
I'm planning to pour my heart out today to you
'It's been a long time since we both spent time chatting'
'Shall we chat today?'
Dad, a special birthday gift for you
I selected it for you personally
To take care of you all your life and make you happy
You mean that don madam, right?
How...dad?
How did you guess right?
That lady told me everything
Why did you agree to marry her?
- I can't agree to this - Why, dad?
Your mother...
...is still here!
Same mom told me too
What are you saying?
- Mom spoke to you? - Yes
You pointed to the moon and said that's my mom
I did that, so you won't miss her
I don't know about all that
When I feel like asking something...
...I'll ask only that moon-mom!
When I requested her to show a way for my dad...
...that moon-mom guided me
...to step mom Mala
Step mom...?
She showed me Pavithra too
Pavithra loves you heart and soul
Did you fight with her because she spoke ill of me?
Poor child! You know she apologized to me?
Oh! She apologized to you too? She just came here and left
What did she say?
Tomorrow at 6:00 a.m sharp I'll be waiting on the terrace
Karthik should come and profess his love to me
Otherwise I'll die, uncle
Good lord! Tell her immediately then
Dad, please don't change the topic
First tell me about Mala my to-be step mom
You aren't seeing my side
You're thinking this will make me happy
But we will both be in a big soup
You're worrying unnecessarily, dad
Just because you don't have anyone else other than me...
...you accepted whatever mistakes I made
I used it to my advantage too
If my mom had been alive...
...she wouldn't have let me behave like this with you for sure
You sound so grown up
I'm inside you
First we must save Pavithra
After that I'll think about what you said
Let's go
Dad, that's only at 6:00 a.m tomorrow
That too only you should profess my love!
How can I?
How can I say this to my daughter-in-law?
Dad, love means affection
You say it bravely I'm there with you
Why is he exercising here?
Shall we kidnap him?
Don't be in a hurry
Son...son...?
Good lord! Son...listen to me
Wake up, son
- Please get up - What, dad?
Whole of last night you tortured me by making me wait here
I think I said something wrong
She got upset and went inside
I'm worried she might commit suicide
She won't attempt anything of that sort
Don't you worry
Son...!
- Coming, son -Then go pee, dad!
- I meant that girl is coming - I'll go hide somewhere
Cover me I'll go hide
I'll make my move?
Did you notice the other person's size?
Don't be so enthu!
Hello...!
Let me go
Where are you taking me?
Dad is clean bowled!
Dad...dad...!
It's me
Dad, where are you going?
Where are we going?
Port Dickson, I believe
Port Dickson...? What for?
Why...?
Some dating it seems
Whaaaat...dating?
"My dear mum-in-law to-be Where is your daughter dearie?"
"Is she in school, tell me? Has she gone to study?"
"Hello, son-in-law to-be My handsome Cupid proxy"
"She is in school, trust me She has gone only to study"
"Aiyo! Aunty, don't send her there"
"Don't ruin her life if you really care"
[popular Ceylon baila]
"Don't ruin her life into a nightmare"
"When roadside Romeos see innocent girls so pretty"
"Isn't this the age they will wink wickedly?"
"My dear mum-in-law to-be Where is your daughter dearie?"
"Is she in school, tell me? Has she gone to study?"
"Hello, son-in-law to-be My handsome Cupid proxy"
"She is in school, trust me She has gone only to study"
- You...? - Happy indeed!
'I must rescue my dad somehow'
- What's your problem? - We came to save you last night
Haven't even brushed my teeth!
Then we must check into a hotel room
"Aiyo! Sonny, don't whisper even a single word to her"
"When she comes, she'll kick you Run away, my dear nephew"
"Aiyo! Don't scold her Don't provoke or pester"
"When she comes, she'll kick you Scoot, handsome dude"
"If you think my daughter is a brat and a rude Miss"
"I will bruise you black and blue"
'Who is it?'
'Step mom Mala'
'How did step mom Mala get here?'
'Looks like she's in a solid romantic mood thanks to my dad'
'Where...where did she go?'
How did you come-
I came to protect the boy
Which boy...?
Our son
'Oh right! Father and son'
What happened to him?
Our don's business slumped because of Karthik
He sent men to kill Karthik
- That's why - Aiyaiyo!
- Is he safe? - No problem
He's safe and sound
Where is he?
In the next room
- He's having fun - Having a good time?
I'm hungry
I'm very thirsty
Me too
Me too!
My throat is parched I need water
Sure, we can start from there
'Start...huh?'
Sit next to me I'll order something
You move aside I'll order
- Come, I say - Muruga, save me
Take your hands off me
I don't want all this Just order juice for me
- 'I will order now' - Good Lord!
'Lord Muruga...help me'
What juice do you have?
Karthik is here And Mala is there
- Be alert - Shall we kidnap her?
Don't be hasty
- Give me, I can eat - I want to feed you
'Let me assume a daughter is feeding a bedridden father'
'Not that I have any other choice, let me eat'
'Gawd! Now I have to eat this yucky noodles also'
Then-
'They brought it up so fast'
Why 2 straws?
One for you and one for me!
Only then it will be so romantic
Why do we even need a straw?
Only now you've got tuned on to me
'Step mom...!'
Let me wipe your mouth
'It has slipped so close as a close-up lips'
Maybe I should confess to my daughter-in-law?
'If you tell anyone you will immediately be admitted in a mental health institution'
'Lord Muruga, help me'
The room boy asked if we were a honeymoon couple
I said yes
So...I think-
'To Lord Muruga with the victorious spear'
Dad...! Praise be to the Lord
He is here?
'Lord Muruga with the spear'
'Praise be to the Lord'
'I escaped'
Hide, Mala is coming
(praising the Lord)
Come on, son
Wait...I'll buy you as many glasses of juice you want
'Mala has settled in a loaded place'
'Don...dumped!'
'What's wrong with them?'
Father and son are head deep in weird rituals!
My friend!
Annamalai, how are you?
I have to see Swami-ji at once
I told you, he won't be under your beck and call
He will show up only when he makes up his mind
What's your problem? You are in a youth's body
What is Bhuvanendran uncle saying, dad?
We can't meet him now it seems, son
He doesn't know when he will turn up
'Now my son has understood me well'
'So have I'
'But why hasn't Swami-ji come?'
'Sonny, words are like bullets that fly out of a gun'
'Sometimes it can even be fatal'
'Just utter the word which we discovered'
'Just go up to him and say 'sorry''
'I've never apologized to anyone'
'Did I ask you to apologize to 'anyone'?'
'Only to your own father, right?'
- Pa...? - What, son?
"Do you know who this is now?"
"Do you realize he is fire so fierce?"
"He crossed barriers to create history"
"Does it ring a bell, tell me?"
Greetings, sir
"He isn't a slave to anyone"
You are Swami-ji, right?
That too!
If you could change us we would appreciate it
We've resolved all our differences
We learnt about each other 100%
If we don't go back to our original bodies...
...this earth won't be able to handle it, Swami
Somehow please save us
What you do now is go back home
And take a shower in each other's restrooms
That's all?
That's it
Swami, you seem ditto like 'Universal hero' Kamal?
(song from 'Vishwaroopam')
Don't even ask!
I took a shower in his restroom
His soul is struggling in my ashram in my body!
If you don't bathe by 6:00p.m today...
...it will take a year to get back to your own bodies
I am going exactly for the same purpose
Come...let's rush
Dad, come soon
Why is the key here? You forgot to lock it?
Let's shower
Dad...?
They are feasting on the cake without taking our permission
You are a duo He is single
He is equal to the 2 of you
- Deal with them - I won't
Why?
You haven't paid me for the past 3 months
Just do it once
You told me this yesterday I kidnapped the girl
I didn't even see 1 rupee from you!
No use pinning my hopes on him
The 4 of you go
Show your skill there
Hey! Wait
Son...sonny
It's almost 6'o clock Let's shower first
Okay, fine
We will follow him
I thought Chettiar was a master chef
He seems to be a stunt master!
Chettiar is a master juggler!
Otherwise will Mala-
What about Mala?
If you pay my salary I will tell you the rest
He is trying the impossible!
Hey Bhima!
I had Malaysia in the palm of my hands
Trying your tricks with me?!
I won't usually pick up my gun
- But if I do- - Hey! Don't
I won't be without pressing the trigger
When I cleaned it this morning, I forgot to load it
He fell for this too!
Clobber you!
You dare shoo...shoot
I'll deal with you after my shower
He is so intimidating even before his shower
Imagine how refreshed he will be afterwards
"Apologize please"
"Go on your bended knees"
"Whether wrong or right this 5 letter word brings delight"
"Be happy always"
"Apologize without thinking twice"
"Sorry is a word for the wise"
"Whether wrong or right this 5 letter word brings delight"
"Be happy always"
"Sunny side up, life to face"
Don, that's an automatic lock
The key is on the outside
Even if a jobless jerk finds a job he won't be paid for his laziness!
Don is coming Lie down!
Don, the back door is also locked
Take a few gulps of water
'Idea! Bhima has to be locked in'
Is a shower more important than saving me?
I'm here, right?
Don't untie her I am here, right?
'You ruined my business'
'I won't spare you'
'I can't find a better kid than you to show my thrashing skill'
'I should beat him to a pulp and save my don-hood!'
'If your time is bad...'
'...even a wooden table can become a weapon!'
Hit him
Don't hit don in his stomach
Take it off!
Untie me
You took all the blows not missing even one
You are God incarnate, don
No reaction from you, don?
I am drained of all reactions
I won't spare him, don
I won't spare his life, don
Bravo!
Sooper!
Hey! You are still here?
I'm scooting right away
1 minute I'll be back
Bro...
...don't
Don't hit him
Look at my Mala who has changed totally for my sake
- He is my- - Stop!
Not now
I'll call Bhima
You can have your say then
I can even bear this boy's blows
But his...is a different ball game altogether
After I bring Bhima here you express our bond
Watch your step
Please come
Sorry, madam
- Don't touch her - Okay...okay
Speak up, Mala Don't be inhibited
Tell both these characters what you feel about me
Go ahead
He is like...
...a grandpa to me
Aiyaiyo! Sir...!!
Aiyo...akka!
Aiyo...madam!
Careful
Thank you so much for saving my son's life
You mean 'our' son
Our son
Hi moustache anna How are you?
I am fine How about you, bro?
I'm my good Where's step-mom?
She is at the cash counter
Good morning
- Where is my dad? - He is here
Hi, son
You seem to have given mom the cash counter duty?
I asked you to but you're too busy
So I got a responsible person to manage the cash
What are you up to?
We have 4 new cooks and they are too good
'Height of sacrifice for love!'
'Cash counter for the lady love'
'Ladle for the lover!'
I am so happy
Why?
I shouldn't have broken your nose
That's okay
Be your old self
Why?
This will be boring if you keep apologizing
This is okay after we are married and have a baby
Is that so?
Grandpa promise?
Then it's okay
'It has been 20 years since I came from India to Malaysia'
'You have been very kind to me and my family'
'I would like to conduct the wedding of Karthik and Pavithra in Karaikudi'
'I am here to ask You for Your grace and blessing'
