If we take bath applying turmeric in Good Friday, it's a pleasure, isn't it?
You're grinding the turmeric in father's home like this.
If you go to your husband's home in future...
...his earning will be spent for turmeric itself.
[Laughs]
[Hum]
One, two, three...
One, two, three... Oh God.
- Vichu's underwear. - Take it & run away. Run. Underwear
- Your loin is with me. Short man. - If I come up. I'll kill you.
Don't come. This boy may get devil's slab & die.
I'll come truly.
- Look that idiot. - Do you want this loin?
Come.
Let's go. That idiot may come out also.
Come. Let's go. Come.
[Laughs]
"Boy's loin came off..."
"The girl is standing and watching... standing and watching..."
- I've come. God. - Isn't there anybody to save us.
Shuck.
- Good morning father. - Good morning.
[Chuckling]
Father...
Even if I stay in Madras, if I don't come to our village Mary's church once in...
...a month my heart is not feeling well. Coming June & July...
[Boys singing a chorus song]
- Good morning father. - Good morning, good morning.
What?
Have you completed your exams?
No father. Tomorrow is the final exam.
You're telling as exam tomorrow & roaming the village like this today.
Tomorrow is maths exam.
In which school they taught not to read for maths exam?
Sorry, father.
Vichu, are you also roaming the village?
How difficultly your mother is educating...
...you by teaching music to some children.
[Singing]
You people are singing well.
When young children go to exam on that period...
...they keep holy ash & Bindhi on forehead nicely & go.
Now they are going with clean forehead like cleaned plantain leaf.
What mother?
You're singing in the morning in your mind.
I'm singing my song.
After knowing that you've exam, if you get up at...
...8 o'clock & hurry suddenly, how it will be?
Mother. I studied everything yesterday night itself...
...& filled the ink in the pen.
As soon as I go, I'd release it.
If I read more than this, pen will blast.
If I talk to you after this, my head only will blast.
Vichu.
You worship the Pillayar to give good mind while going...
...offer this coconut & go.
Do you know what's the rate of coconut? 2 Rs.
It will be useful to you & me for a week.
Vichu.
Mother. Either Pillayar should write exam with me or he should correct it.
Not both. He is sitting under the banyan tree calmly.
Why are you disturbing him, mother?
- Vichu. - Short man, I'm coming.
You're born to me as an exception to the old saying that son is like his mother.
Pillayar father.
Without getting angry as my son spoke irresponsibly...
...make him to pass.
"We are sure to pass."
"We wrote the maths exam. Mark is definite to us."
"We wrote difficultly. We will pass definitely."
- Good morning, sir. - Good morning.
What boys? Is your exams over?
Yes, it is over, sir.
Don't roam the village in the holidays.
We'll get bored.
Mam. You only should tell this to sir.
Yes. You only should tell.
It seems he himself is coming.
You speak to him.
All will end well.
[Indistinct Chattering]
[Bike Approaching]
- Greetings. - Greetings.
What is it?
All of you've come together.
What's the function?
We have come to see you, sir.
Have you come to see me?
See well.
You can have a good look.
Have you seen? Leave from here.
Sir.
Children are dieing without food.
You must only take pity.
If you sell all the fishes that you're catching to me...
...go & tie your boat.
Or else you go to that Nalapuram man & stand with folded hands.
Go.
- Take care. Wipe it cleanly. - O. K, Mam.
What?
- Have you finished your jobs? - It is going on.
Finish it soon.
Tomorrow morning my sister Mary is coming from the city.
What happened to that bathroom?
Tiles will come tomorrow morning, Mam. We will build it.
Those fishermen were waiting for you from the morning.
What answer did you give them?
This is business.
I know to whom I should talk and how I should talk.
You don't interfere in this.
She is coming in the morning, without doing your jobs for that...
...you're talking village justice here.
Go inside.
[Matchbox light]
[Bus Approving]
Thanks.
- Thank you very much. - What Mam?
I think you have brought thanks in these boxes.
[Chuckling]
Sir, my taperecorder.
Hey... Hey, mister. Stop.
Hey, cycle.
Forgive me.
Don't you have even a little bit of common sense?
- Common... - Common?
Hey, it is Comonayakampatty.
Is it Comonayakampatty?
You would have to go 10 miles more for that.
You got down in the middle urgently.
I asked, 'Do you have common sense?'
Is that common sense?
Mam doesn't have. That's why she is asking.
Mam. You've come from city, haven't you?
Why didn't you bring 10 or 20 kilo common sense?
If you ask in this village, how will you get?
That's O.K.
Who is this Mam?
Has she come to run any circus here?
No. She is our David's sister Mary.
Mam is studying in the city.
The more she is studying, her skirt is becoming short.
In which class sister is studying?
+2.
- Complete M. A soon. - Idiot.
Mother.
Don't break the hip by talking English.
Have it.
Bye.
[Chorus song]
[Bike Approaching] [Whispering]
- Good morning. - Good morning.
Hey, David is going.
What if his sister tells something about us?
Oh god. We are sure to get caught.
- Come. Let's go & tackle them. Come. - Come.
Come on.
Mary, have you been waiting for too long?
What brother. You didn't send any vehicle.
Good morning, sir.
Brother. When I came, they all...
Why didn't you tell before? Give me the luggage.
- Take one each of you & come to home. - Give it to me.
- Pick up that box. - Not that.
- You go ahead. - Okay.
- You come with me. - Run fast.
- It seems Mary has come. - Mary.
Lakshmi.
Come here.
[Chuckling]
Mam told me to tell that water has boiled.
O.K. Go.
They told that you came yesterday itself. But you're missing outside.
What? Did you take any oath that you won't come outside?
She was in hostel, wasn't she? It seems it's that habit.
I don't know how you stayed away from your brother & sister-in-law for a year?
I can't stay away from my father or mother for a minute also.
Yes. Go tying your mother in you lap when you go to husband's home.
Go sister.
O.K. Come in without chatting. Water is boiling.
Okay, where are you going?
To take bath?
Your brother has built a private bathroom for you to take bath, hasn't he?
Why are you coming here?
Is the pleasure of taking bath swimming your property?
Mother.
[Laughs]
Why are you staring? Come. Let's take bath.
Monkeys may come. Take care of our clothes.
- Short girl. Take care of clothes. - Okay?
Why are you giving clothes to her?
Yes. You don't know. If she doesn't take care of clothes...
...those monkeys will come & take all the clothes.
Monkeys?
They are not ordinary monkeys. Human monkeys.
No need to take care of my clothes.
If it's a monkey with mustache, let it take.
[Singing]
Mother. Human digester. Close your mouth.
What is this? One set of clothe is alone.
Which girl of our village has this much guts?
A boy might have entered to bathe.
Why should we suspect? If we take that & see, we will find that.
Mister!
If you behave like educated boys, your tooth will escape.
- Else? - 32 teeth will break.
Queen of proud area!
This place is ruled by boys.
Here girls should behave as girls only.
Are you the king monkey?
If you have guts, take my cloth & see.
If I lift & see
At that time my mouth won't speak & hand will speak.
Sister.
Atleast will your mouth speak Tamil or will that also talk English?
Measure your words & speak.
We didn't bring scale to measure.
If you've with you, give it. Let's measure.
If I come there...
...do you know what will happen?
Come. Come...
We are waiting for that only. What boys?
Yes. Yes.
You told that skirt will go up as she studies more and more.
On the next day of arrival itself, she has completed B.A.
Hey, Mister!
Put the cloth down.
What if I don't put?
Ladies beating the men is not our village's practice.
Lets forgive & forget.
[Song Over Radio]
Transistor...
Senseless fellow!
This is not a transistor. This is a tape recorder.
Our Tamil Pandit was keeping, wasn't he?
It will record our song & talk, won't it?
We will take this and that.
What if she comes?
- Let her also hear. - Yes.
- Take your hands off! You fool! - Yes.
You remain silent.
Go ahead.
You talk.
[Clears Throat]
'Fairy.'
'There is no need for the expense of reddish polish as your... '
'... blood itself is a color polish to reddish leg nails. '
'What are you seeing? '
'Did I get love on you seeing your face at first? '
'When I saw your golden feet, which danced with musical expressions... '
'... my heart became hard.'
'Medicinal plant should enter through your lips for the hardened heart.'
'I must get intoxicated eating that.'
'We'd sleep for ever in that place where there... '
'... is no space for the air to enter.'
Nonsense!
What are you doing? Who took this?
We only took for safety as this was there without none to take.
You'll take & keep. What if I beat on your back?
Uncivilized people.
- Mam is talking about civilization. - Write a book about civilization.
- It'll be comfortable to read. - I'll slap you.
I'm repeating it. Ladies beating men is not our village's practice.
Idiot!
We don't know about rice food.
Give. Take it & go, Mam.
[Ocean Waves]
'There is no need for the expense of reddish polish as your... '
'... blood itself is color to reddish leg nails.'
What are you looking?
'Did I get love on you seeing your face at first? '
'When I saw your golden feet, which danced musical expressions... '
'... my heart became hard.'
'Medicinal plant should enter through your lips to the hardened heart.'
'I must get intoxicated eating that.'
'We'd sleep for ever in the place where there... '
'... is no space for the air to enter.'
Nonsense!
'What are you doing? Who took this? '
'It was lying with no one around.'
Will you come again? Sinner. Do you need moon light?
If I tell you not to come in the night time, are you listening?
If you cry, I'll kill you.
Short girl is coming.
[Laughs]
- Why were you so late? - My mother told a work at home.
That's why I became late.
Sharp less, short pot rice. Old lady will bend if we hit.
Dance like a snake.
[Laughs]
If we ask her to dance snake dance, she dances lizard dance.
Who gets caught next is to sing. You tell.
Sharp less, short pot rice.
Old lady will bend if we hit.
[Laughs]
Sing sister. Sing
"A man with bright eyes & brave heart. Come."
"A man with bright eyes. Come."
"A man with bright..."
Oh God!
If you sing like this, how will the Kannan come?
Hearing her song, even the waves ran away.
It is none of your business.
Not bun & bread business.
You stupid!
You're telling your name often.
Even if sister gets angry, she sings nicely.
[Laughs]
It's correct that's they are the slum boys.
Are we slum boys?
- Are we slum boys? - Are we slum boys?
Are we slum boys?
"Come my esculent route."

"Paise whom my sister gave birth. Don't sing opening your mouth."
"Saraswathi Goddess of arts is staying..."
"...in her honorable mouth."
"Foolish fellows. If she sings that Goddess will suffer."
"River & sea also will become dry."
"If our sister's daughter opens her mouth..."
"...elephant & tiger's shouts will be controlled."
"Come. My esculent route."
"Paise whom my sister gave birth. Don't sing opening your mouth."
"Donkey also will sing well. Hear that & see. You'll understand."
"She is the teacher who teaches lesson to donkey also."
"If she sings in low pitch, it's not nice. Hear man. Donkey is better than her."
"Knowledge is needed for that."
Is that Gnanam? Our Gnanaprakasam.
Run here. They are calling you.
"She's matured like a donkey."
"She won't give little bit of respect..."
"...& has arrogance in her heart like a mountain."
Stupid!
[Saying meaningless words]
"A, B, C, D & your father's beard."

"If she sings in low pitch, it's not nice. Hear it. Donkey is better than her."
"Knowledge is needed for that..."
Hubby!
Can you hear me or not?
If you talk the same thing again & again. What does that mean.
What's wrong in her going there and learning music?
Will anybody kiss the burning light as it's our light?
What's the relationship between our family & classical music?
Can we keep relationship giving betel leave & betel nut with the music?
Wherever the knowledge may be, we only should go searching for that.
What if it's there in lyer house or in the street of slum people.
Greetings!
Come. Come, Mam.
Come.
[Practicing Song]
You people be calm. You sing dear.
It's not Ja It's Sa
[Practicing Song Continues]
[Donkeys - Bray]
Please wait. I'll come now.
Are you learning music? Shout now.
Vichu!
What is this? Dirty.
Baby has come to learn the music for the first time.
Why are you troubling like this?
[Flashback]
[Music]
"Won't I see you?"
"Don't you have grace on me? Kannan."
"Kannan. Won't I see you? Don't you have grace on me?"
"I developed fire in my eyes. It's not a lie."
"I grew flower in my heart for your Pooja."
"Till her heart get dissolved in the tears which drops from her eyes daily Kanna."
Is that you? Is that you who have sung now?
How?
Somebody told that knowledge is needed to learn music.
But I decided that attempt is needed for that knowledge itself.
I shouted those you taught always except when I slept leaving my shyness.
What have you heard now is that shout only.
Is that shout? No dear.
You sang that won't you see the God.
But in your song that you sung now...
...that Goddess of arts showed herself to me, dear.
[Music]
[Donkeys - Bray]
"Donkey voice girl sings a song & crows, sparrows are running fearing."
Stop!
Isn't there a limit for teasing & making fun?
What do you know about music?
I apologize for them.
Really you're singing very nicely.
I thought of meeting you alone & talking.
Boys...
- Are we in India - Yes.
- Is our Vichu talking? - Yes.
Vichu, what happened to you?
Have you got fever? You're well, isn't it?
He might've gone to teaching tree.
- He's got knowledge. - No.
- He might've gone to Neem tree. - Devil might've slapped.
Is that male devil or female devil?
See him & tell.
Female devil. Female Ghost.
[Song Over Radio]
Mary.
[Cheering]
It is correct.
You told that he's got devil. Really female devil only caught him.
Are you sighting the girl with holy cross? If her brother sees you,
he won't crucify you in the cross, he'll crucify you in this tree itself.
[Laughs]
Keep quite.
What do you know about love?
What do we know about love?
We don't know.
You write in all the trees. She won't love you.
That is old style.
You should write on her mind in a modern style.
Write in her heart.
"I'll praise you singing about your power."
"I'll praise & worship the greatest"
"God Jesus the emperor."
"Love, which came as a light. Dear who saved me giving his soul."
"Graceful heavenly god. Sweetest holy soulful God."
"I'll praise you singing the prayer."
Amen!
[Laughs]
Mary.
I told as Amen not to tease your song.
Now a days you & your song...
Mary! Mary!
You should write on her mind. Write in her heart.
[Music]
Run. Hide & seek.
Close your ears. Leaving the worse bag bring a good bag.
- Go. Run away soon. - Nobody is there.
Have you got caught? Did you get caught well?
Run. Hide & seek.
Shut your ears. Leaving the worse bag bring a good bag.
Mary.
I want to tell one thing to you
"Won't I see you?"
"Won't you have you grace on me?"
"Goddess. Won't I see you?"
"I developed the fire in my eyes. It's not a lie."
"I've grown flowers for your worship in my heart."
"Till her heart dissolves in the tears that drops from my eyes daily."
"Till her heart dissolves in the tears that drops from my eyes daily, Goddess."
"Won't I see you?"
"Won't I have your grace?"
"Won't I have your grace."
"Goddess."
'Goddess.'
'As your blood itself has become red polish to your reddish leg nails'
'there is no need of reddish polish's expense.'
'What are you looking? '
'Did I fall in love seeing your face at first.'
'When I saw your golden feet which danced with musical expressions... '
'... my heart became hard.'
'Medicinal plant should get in to the solidified heart through your lips.'
'I must get intoxicated by eating that.'
'We'd sleep for ever in that place where there... '
...'is no space for the air to enter.'
Mary.
[Music]
"Thousands of lotus buds. Come & dance by clapping."
"This is a Kaman's festival where two jasmine flowers are touching each other."
"There is love worship in this temple."
"Thousands of lotus buds. Come & dance by clapping."

"Pour the honey on me. This is a bonfire."
"Flower bunch. Flower, which pours the delicious drink."

"There is love worship in this temple."
"Thousands of lotus buds. Come & dance by clapping."
"Boy has danced with golden parrot in the lotus pond."
"If her brother sees, it'll be trouble."
Enough.
What do you know about our love?
She is ready to give up everything & come for me.
She is a rich girl.
She will come giving up. What do you have to lose for her?
There is my soul to lose for her.
Will you give up your soul truly?
What Mary? You've told like that.
Mary, See. Should I give up my soul for you?
Or should I take someone's soul. Should I cut this tree?
Should I scoop this mountain or should I grow as a cashew in this tree?
Tell me. I'll do anything for you.
You need not strain too much for me.
Will you do a thing? Here Eat this.
What is this? Bad smell. Dirty.
This won't work out.
What won't work out? I'm asking why it won't work out?
My friends told that I'm going to be a daughter-in-law to Agraharam,
I'll get green leave & cold rice only in my whole lifetime. It's correct only.
- This won't work out. - Have they told? They would tell.
God. Is there food problem in love also?
See. I'll arrange for you to eat dry fish throughout your lifetime.
You don't worry about that.
Only me?
Here. Eat this fish.
Should I eat? For your sake not only fish, I'll eat even snake for your sake.
Oh God!
Vichu.
What happened? Vichu...
I'm going to conduct a feast for Vichu's love hunger.
Why are you running like this taking a long breathe?
I brought meat from my dad shop.
- Shall we fry & eat? - Wall poster?
- Yes. - Will anyone fry the wall poster & eat.
Idiot!
Meat means if we cut that & throw, it will stick to the wall immediately.
If we fry it & eat, it will go in the stomach softly.
- Goat liver. - Yes.
Where should we go for sticks to fry it & eat?
What to do?
This is for you Ramesh.
This is for you Gnanam.
This is your portion, Abdullah.
- Eat. - This is for you, Gopal.
This is for me. This is for the God.
My friends told that I'm going to be a daughter-in-law to Agraharam...
...I'll get green leave & cold rice only in my whole lifetime. It's correct only.
This won't work out.
- Short man. Where is my part? - This is goat meat.
- I'm asking knowing only. Give my part. - Are you going to eat it?
I'll eat or throw it somewhere. What's there for you?
- I need my part. - If we don't give?
No need for quarrel between us.
O.K.
Give the God's part to lyar. Let's see what he does.
Eat it.
[Ocean Waves]
- Why you've you come late? - I got delayed.
- Why it became late? - I got a bit late.
I asked why it became late?
That's why I told, I got delayeda bit.
There is no lacking for this teasing.
"Mary, it is not good to get angry. Great Mary, it is..."
What? Are you angry with me?
Then Will I prattle you?
How long I'd wait? A Limit is there for everything.
3 to 3:30, that rock.
3:30 to 4:00. That rock.
4 to 4:30. That rock.
Lucky rock.
You told this as third rock, didn't you?
Mary.
See. You're running without knowing.
I got delayed because I went to get something for you.
Open your mouth.
My age is 16.
I know how to eat. Give that in my hand.
What's the need of age limit between us?
Even if you get 80 years, you're a baby to me...
...& even if I become 80 years, I'll be a baby to you.
Where? Open your mouth.
Meat.
- Goat meat. - Head.
No. It's goat meat only.
Why?
Don't you eat the goat meat?
Chicken?
Fish?
Why? Don't you like these?
From the day I started to love you, from that day itself I hate these.
How I'll like what you don't like after we became one?
[Chuckling]
- Shall we both play father & mother game? - Okay.
I'm the mother.
You're the father.
I'll cook the rice at home.
In that case shall I go to work?
Cook the rice & keep for me.
Come here.
I have returned from work. Here, take this flower.
Did you come back from duty?
Pity. Your face is sweating.
I cooked the food at home.
Shall we both eat that?
Here the gravy.
I've completed eating.
Shall we put bed & lie down?
Will anybody lie as soon as they eat?
Then They will lie after talking for some time, won't they?
That is in your home. My father will lie as soon as he eat.
O.K. Lie down.
- We have lay. - Then We'd switch off the light.
- After switching off the light - I don't know.
- O. K Come. - O.K. Sleep.
Okay.
[Laughs]
Mary sister.
[Laughs]
What? Short boy. What are you doing?
What are you doing?
They are playing father mother game.
[Laughs]
I'm trying to play. She is not coming.
- She is also like that only uncle. - Always fight. You only.
Will you join with village donkeys?
- Why did you beat him? - I didn't beat him.
He only beat me.
If you need ask Mary sister also mother.
Which Mary?
That Mary sister who studied in the city.
- If you need ask her. - Why did she come there?
She & Vichu brother were playing father & mother game.
- Which Vichu? - That aunt's son Vichu.
Children won't say without seeing.
Mary is the girl who studied to me.
Don't I know. That girl who don't know to sing prayer song also in Mary's church...
...when she went to Brahmin home & learnt music, I felt bad.
That's why I've come to tell.
Our Mary not such a girl.
You're telling.
I'll take care.
If you control; it's not only good for that girl, but for your family also.
Somehow we are very close. My heart didn't bear.
That's why I've come to tell.
- Shall I leave? - Teacher!
Don't tell this matter to outside people.
Why are you saying like this?
Will I tell like that. No. I'm leaving.
[Bell Jingle]
Brother. Isn't there your mother at home?
- Mother. - What Vichu?
- What? - Elisa Mam told me to bring you.
Didn't Mary come?
Lesson is at home hereafter.
She told to bring harmonium while you come.
- Be here for sometime. I'll come soon. - O.K.
"Kannan. My heart is getting distractions."
"Kannan. My heart is getting distractions in your pleasure flute music."
"Kannan. My heart is having distractions."
I don't know what to do. I must meet her.
If we are in town, you can talk to her in telephone.
We've born in village.
If we were born 400 years before
We could have sent bird message.
We can send monkey message now.
- Monkey. - You're there.
Brother.
Have you never seen your face on the mirror?
Go & see. You'll understand who is the money.
I'm telling without seeing that you're the monkey.
- You're the monkey. - You're the monkey.
Why are you shouting like repaired harmonium.
You decide later as who is the monkey.
I've got an idea.
Mother. Cart has come. Didn't you go to tuition?
I'd go. I can go only if you eat.
Serve food soon, mother. I can eat only if you serve, can't I?
I can serve food only if you come, isn't it? Come soon.
You're troubling me a lot now a days.
You're serving food, aren't you?

Everything is for you only.
- Is that for me? - Yes.
Today is no moon day.
My mother told that if I worship...
...a thing to God, it will take place immediately.
That's why I went to temple and came.
What did you pray?
Exam result is going to come today for you, isn't it?
Did you worship that I should pass in the exam & get admission in the college?
No, Mary.
If you get passed, they will send you to college immediately.
Then I can't meet you.
I should keep seeing you.
That's why...
That's why?
That's why I worshipped that you should failed.
[Laughs]
I also worshipped Jesus that your prayer should get fulfilled.
Mary.
If you don't mistake...
- Tell me Vichu. - What about Jesus?
Will we get any fruit for our prayer?
Why are you asking like this?
Jesus is great!
Jesus is the image of grace & he is full of sympathy.
Our Gods are also like that.
But this Kali alone will threaten with knives & rods.
[Laughs]
[Ocean Waves]
Here. You've got seat in the college. You have to go to Madras tomorrow morning.
Keep the briefcase & clothes ready.
- I'm leaving sir. - Are you leaving? Wait.
Elise!
Here, madam.
Nothing. College opens for Mary in 2 days time.
She is going to leave to Madras tomorrow.
What is all this?
Don't mistake us. This is not a fee.
Respect that we should give to you.
I didn't think like that.
Baby born in the musical hereditary
also will slip while singing.
But if this Mary sings this much means this is a great achievement only.
It is told, that mother Goddess wrote Om in Kalidass's tongue.
Which fairy wrote what in this Mary's tongue?
When she sings I'm realizing a divine feeling.
My heart suffers as that girl's lesson is stopping in the middle.
If I had known that music lessons will get stopped in the middle...
...I won't have learnt music.
[Bell Jingle]
Mother! Mother!
Mother... Mother...
Vichu!
What Mam?
Nothing.
"Soul, who fell in my eyes, entered into my heart & mixed in my soul."
"Brother ordered me to go tomorrow to study."
"He threw away one of the love fishes on the shore."
"Soul, who fell in my eyes, entered in my heart & mixed in my soul."
"In the evening time when the day & night meets"
"I'll be waiting in the seashore with tears in my eyes."
"Your kisses that you're lip gives is my own property."
"You only will hear the melting sound of my soul."
Mary. What is this? Why are you running here like this?
No brother.
I saw you. That's why...
Good girl you're. Come. Let's go.
[Ocean Waves]
Vichu.
I didn't cook as my hands are paining.
Eat this fruit & lie down.
They joined that Mary in the college.
So, she is going to Madras tomorrow.
They stopped tuition & they only gave these to me.
[Night Insect]
Come... come fast.
- What shall we do now? - Step up. Lift him.
Lift him. Slowly.
Keep the leg over there. Like that.
Vichu.
Mary.
Vichu.
How did you come here at this time?
Do you know what will happen if my brother sees?
We've little time only.
Should we waste that also by talking what will happen if he comes & sees?
Mary.
Vichu.
I fear when I think that I would have to go to college tomorrow.
I don't know what will happen. Tell me Vichu.
Tell me some way.
See.
If you cut this onion & keep under your arms, you'll get fever in 5 minutes.
- Really? - Yes, really.
I can't stay there without seeing you, Vichu.
Don't do play in this. Will I get fever really?
I swear on you that you'll get fever.
Raise your hand. I told you to raise your hand.
Okay. Why do you need fever?
Are you & I different persons?
Mary.
Vichu!
I've got fever.
In that case they won't send you to college definitely.
If they send against that, I'll come to college hostel itself & bring you here.
Vichu.
Yes, Mary.
When we come like that, we will come to this village as husband & wife.
Vichu!
Is what you're telling true?
Mary.
[Whispering sound]
What Mary?
What were you doing upstairs at this time?
I went to get breeze.
Don't get fever telling that you're getting breeze.
Okay, what a new practice is this getting air in upstairs?
Sister-in-law, here it is very hot.
Is it inside the house or heart?
Yes sister.
I thought about my going to the town tomorrow. That's why...
Yes.
You were in hostel leaving us last year.
What's there new in this year only?
Affection on us, isn't it?
[Chuckling]
Yes sister. I feel difficult to part from you & brother.
Not only that sister. What I'm going to do after studying?
I'm going to leave as a daughter-in-law to cook in somebody's home.
It's a fact. In which college I studied to come as a daughter-in-law to this home?
[Laughs]
Mother!
You called your mother as soon as I slapped.
Now you went & talked to that guy. Whom did you call at that time?
You made me see that atrocity with my
eyes, which I couldn't hear from some others.
Are you wishing to give birth to a child after forgetting the mother's feed?
Sister-in-law!
Are you giving respects to this word truly?
Crying baby also will shut its mouth if it hears your brother's motorbike's sound.
He comes to see you in this midnight to such a man's home...
...you're going upstairs to see him.
What a guts you've? Mary, you can't love anybody?
Because you're David's sister.
I was born in the family where there is no male hire...
...with 80 sovereign jewels.
Do you know how your dad thought to accept...
...me as a daughter-in-law to this home?
You can't drink the holy water with this mouth which got baptism & ate bread.
That's why I'm telling.
Forget him.
Even if you wear half sari, you're a child to me.
See. If it's true that you trust Jesus, believe my words.
Don't get your life spoiled unnecessarily. Your brother is a fire.
If your desire fight with his, you alone will not burn, but that boy too.
I'm telling you sternly. Go & sleep.
Tomorrow morning you're going to the college.
You're roaming in all the places without considering as day and night.
You're lying saying headache & fever now. It is not a pain for me alone.
It's for you also, isn't it?
Keep here. Has the goat got caught?
- Take this & keep here. - Go. Mary is going to her college.
- Is Mary going? - Yes.
What shall we do now?
Vichu.
Vichu...
[Whistling]
What?
- Come here. - I'll come later on.
Go. Mother is there.
You go
Don't make noise.
Don't mind that herbal syrup will be bitter.
If you drink this, your fever will fly off.
[Bike Approaching]
- Hasn't the bus come yet? - The bus hasn't come yet.
Mary.
Mary... Mary...
She was telling that her health is not well...
...to her sister-in-law in morning itself.
- Lift her, sir. - Mary.
Doctor...
She was telling that her health is not well to her sister-in-law, in morning.
When I asked she told nothing to go to college.
See her now.
Nothing is there. It's an ordinary fever only.
In that case can she take rest today & go to college tomorrow, doctor?
No... no...
She should take complete rest. It's too good if she doesn't travel.
Why are you hurrying like this?
What's the need of college when she is not well.
I'll go myself & give a telegram.
Doctor...
...It's the 6th day. You told that her fever would reduce.
It's increasing day by day. It's not reducing.
I too don't understand that.
Here Mary. Have. Have the tablet. I'll come tomorrow again & see.
Have. Drink water. Have it.
Eat it.
You kept onion under her arms to get fever & to stop her from going to college.
- Now? - Fever has gone by itself.
Are you going to keep chilly now?
Don't tell useless matters. I've a wonderful idea with me.
We'll go to their home & ask the bride directly.
[Wedding Clarinet]
Greetings, sir.
Greetings.
Greetings, Ma' am.
Greetings.
Go inside.
What is this? You've come with orchestra.
All for good thing only sir.
Are you collecting anything in your club?
If you don't have any objection, let's go in, sit & & talk.
Matter that we talk by sitting will sit forever.
Justice that we talk standing only will be stable.
Then let's talk by standing.
If we've experience in this, we'd ask immediately.
It's a new job.
Yes.
We were thinking to come through the elders only.
If we go & tell them, they'd ask what's the urgency now.
They don't understand our urgency sir.
That's why we have come with a small setup.
- Jewels & gifts are as you wish. - Why are you talking unnecessarily?
That's nothing. Golden boy.
- Go inside. - Our Vichu...
We have come to ask your sister...
...Mary's hand for Vichu.
- Will you go to him again? - Leave me mother. I won't go mother.
- Will you go there for match making? - Leave me, father.
- I'm sorry. - Wil you go again?
- Will you go hereafter? Tell me. - I won't go father.
- Will you go? - No father.
Mary.
You've buried my honor, respect & all.
Do you need love in this age?
This whole village is afraid of seeing me.
But you made those small boys to come to my home & ask for your hand.
My anger will get satisfied only if I kill you.
Tell me. What's the link between you & him.
Tell me. Will you mingle with him?
Tell me.
Do you need love in this young age?
Who are you & who is he?
Will you mingle with him? Will you go & meet him?
Tell me.
Were you enjoying with that beggar boy saying...
...that you're learning music? - Hubby, stop!
Don't beat her.
Are you people keeping the house as a house?
What's the use in getting angry now?
If you had controlled at the right time,
there won't be the necessity for this tears, will there?
Are you seeing accounts when I'm angry?
If this donkey cross the home entrance...
...hereafter, I'll cut your legs.
That man beat you like beating a dog.
Didn't you have any feelings?
You're sitting like a rock without getting disturbed.
What are you thinking in your heart?
It's my Vichu only.
If I had thought about my mother when I got blows, I might have cried.
I thought about my Vichu only. I feel happy only.
Your brother beat like this to forget that donkey.
You're talking about him at that time also.
Thinking & talking about him...
...is the medicine for my brother's blow.
If you keep arguing like this, your brother will burn you alive.
Let him burn & mix me in the sea.
At that time too whole the sea will
keep on saying both of our names.
Have you gone mad?
Yes, I'm mad.
My brother would've seen your jewels in your...
...neck before marriage.
You'd have seen what jewel my brother would present you.
That's marriage. This is the love.
I saw his heart & he saw my heart only.
To you, who married seeing the money...
...loving seeing the heart will seem to be madness only.
Wait.
Where is Maari?
Our hen ran somewhere. He's gone to catch that.
Madam, take this.
I lost half of my soul in running and catching this.
- Maari. - What madam.
Cut this hen and then go.
I'm roaming with empty stomach from the morning.
I'll drink some liquid food and cut, madam.
- Maari. - Madam.
In that case, you return from shop and eat.
Get me 100 grams turmeric powder soon. Gravy is boiling in the stove.
I'll get, mother.
Maari!
What is it.
Why are you going there?
That donkey told me to get coffee powder.
Buy and come if she told you to buy. Why are you going there?
Money is there in the pot, madam.
Get it in that money. Go soon. Go soon.
I'm telling you that it's boiling inside, didn't I?
Go man.
[Crying]
- Where are you going? - To a place where human lives.
Go anywhere.
Salary for you and her.
Already you've given reward for our faithfulness, boss.
This reward should go to your wife fairly.
Because, she only stood as a security yesterday.
You've given me the honor which can not be given by any husband to his wife.
For that, I want to be your wife in all my 7 births.
You give justice to the villgers.
I didn't want you to get ashamed in front of others.
For that he has given me reward.
What reward are you going to give?
Tell me.
Are you a husband?
No. Are you a human.
That too not.
What reward are you going to give?
Tell me.
Leave me.
Leave me, you dog.
If I had stopped you when you entered the hut...
...would I have got this blame?
Why are you crying like this for that?
I was ashamed by getting the wage.
Think a bit.
What if you'd stood in the place I stood and I was there in the hut?
I'd have beaten you well...
...& sent you out of the house with the name prostitute.
You've come to cook for me only. Not to correct me.
I'm a male. I'll do thousand mistakes.
Before marriage, my brother would've seen the jewels of your neck.
You'd have seen how much jewels my brother would give you.
That is marriage. This is love. I saw his heart only.
He saw my heart.
To you, who have married seeing money alone,
loving seeing the heart alone will seem to be madness only.
There is nothing wrong in you.
You're a businessman.
Everything is business to you.
I'm the loser in the business of our marriage.
That's why I'm crying.
Look.
Stay if you can stay quietly like a girl.
Else get out of this house now itself.
[Birds - Chirping]
If my mother see us together, my mother will break my hip.
Let her break. Even if they beat and kill us, we should unite them together.
Why are you fearing like this?
He alone worries here. She is there at home.
If she has affection on him truly...
...shouldn't she come out of house for the dishonor that we got?
Don't talk like this.
- Go man. - Hey!
What's wrong in his statement?
She is like the stone thrown into the well.
You're roaming for her.
Does she love you truly?
He's so strong.
Let's see whether she's strong or not.
Vichu, a bet between us.
Let she come out of her house against this control.
- Let's see. - If she comes?
We'll give even our soul for your love.
Yes man.
Definitely she'll come to the place that I say.
But I don't know to whom and how to tell that to her.
Isn't there a plan for this, when we did this much?
Get up and come.
We'll go and have a tea in our place.
Yes.
Home fly too will get idea if it drinks tea in Nagappan's tea stall.
- Subbaiya. - Sir.
White dhoti didn't come home.
I gave 12 cloths to Mam last week.
She said that it is missing.
Whose cloths are those? Is that ours?
No sir. That is for President David sir's.
O.k. Come home in the evening.
Come, wash the clothes, get the money & go.
O.k. Brother.
[Whispering]
What Subbaiya? How are you?
- I'm fine, sir. - Are you drinking tea?
Yes, sir.
Drink. Drink.
- Bun? - No need.
- Why. - Nagappa.
Give 2 buns to Subbaiya.
- I don't want sir. Why sir. - Eat Subbaiya. Eat.
You've spoiled my 2 innerwear.
I'll correct that in the next wash, sir.
Correct it. Correct it. Correct it.
- Eat. - I'll make a move, sir.
You must tired. Have another tea, Subbaiya.
- Why. No need sir. No sir. - Nagappa. Prepare another tea.
Have another bun, Subbaiya.
My stomach is full.
It's all right. Push in with a stick.
All are standing one after another.
It's just standing, it didn't lie, did it?
[Whistling]
Enough of drinking tea and eating bun. It's getting late for brother.
Go brother. Go brother. Go.
26 clothes Mam. There are 29 clothes including these 3 blouses.
O. K...
I'll make a move, madam.
We need to go to church. Change this dress.
No need. This is enough for me.
I'll come with this dress itself.
Listen to me. Change it.
You controlled me from going out of the house.
Won't you leave me to wear dress of my own.
This is enough for me.
Your sister-in-law will tell for your good only.
Take it.
Is there a person in this house, who talks good for me?
What a surprise!
Surprise should come only after taking this.
Wear this.
Mary.
I called your brother as fire...
...and told that you'd burn if your wish fight with your brother's.
But, he's burnt me without fighting.
I'll not let you burn.
Mary.
Did you get the letter?
That had gone to my sister-in-law's hands.
Then?
I don't know what my sister-in-law thought.
She sent me out.
But now too I'm afraid thinking about my brother.
Until I have my 5 friends...
...nobody can stop our union even if the whole world opposes.
Five of them are our security force.
[Chuckling]
Vichu.
Talk something.
What shall I talk?
Talk something.
M-A-R-Y. Mary.
[Birds - Chirping]
Is this the talk?
M-A-R-Y. Mary.
M-A-R-R-Y. Marry.
[Laughs]
Why should we see age between us?
You're my child even if you attain 80 years.
I'm your child even if I attain 80 years.
[Laughs]
[Church Bells]

"Always Happiness, Pleasure, Holiness."
Good morning, sir.
What are you doing here at this time?
Nothing, sir.
Yes, sir.
Did you see that Vichu boy.
- I don't know sir. - Don't you know?
I don't know.
[Bike Approaching]
[Groan]
Vichu.
Female donkey. My anger will go off only if I cut and kill you.
Go that side.
Vichu.
I'm living trusting you thinking that the daybreak will come for house...
...if it comes for the entrance.
Why are you doing like this boy.
[Sobbing]
Vichu.
Are you lying as you can't talk else are you lying not to talk?
Mother.
Vichu,
do you want the love of that girl after all this has happened?
Mother.
If I hadn't expected that it'd happen like this, I'd have said as I don't want.
But, this is what I expected, mother.
Mother.
My heart tells me to accept any woe for her, mother.
I can't live without her, mother.
I feel hungry, but I can't eat, mother.
I feel asleep, but I can't sleep, mother.
Whatever happens to me...
I want to see her...
I want to talk with her and I want to live with her only.
Else I'd die with her, mother.
Vichu.
[Crying]
[Indistinct Chattering]
I'm very happy.
I'd be lucky to get a bride from your family, sir.
What do you say? My son likes your daughter very much.
We'll send letter informing other matters.
Shall I move?
O. K...
I'm not interested in this marriage.
If love is a mistake, I didn't do any other than loving.
Problem is very hard.
I'll talk to David.
[Church Bells]
Mam.
Forgive me.
I don't understand the meaning of the prayer that
you're doing in this place.
If we get fear in our heart, we won't know where which God is.
All the Gods are seemed to be the same for me.
Mam.
Shall I know the fear that I there in your mind?
Your fear is about your son, isn't it?
By God's grace, everything will take place well.
Whether it is by Jesus's blessings or by the grace of Kanthan's grace.
It's o.k. If everything takes place well.
Father, are you talking like this?
Who are we and who is he?
David.
I didn't come to talk with you about two religions...
...but about 2 hearts.
Will you accept for this marriage if that guy convert into your religion?
You can't.
Because, the hindrance of this marriage is not our religion.
- Your money. - No father.
This marriage is not for my luxuriousness.
It is for my sister's happiness.
[Chuckling]
You shouldn't tell this David.
That girl should tell.
You want my sister to agree for this marriage.
That's all, isn't it, father. She'll tell.
Vichu.
Shall we run somewhere?
[Birds - Chirping]
We're not coward to run off.
We'd live together in this same village.
[Bike Approaching]
Sir.
We've built nest in our heart like how sparrow build nest.
Don't disturb that nest and make blood to flow in our hearts.
Don't part us, sir.
[Yelling]
You're going to become a wife for another man within 10 days.
How dare you stand at our home entrance & talk to that poor guy?
I was bringing up you in my heart nest like a parrot.
Are you building love nest with that empty guy?
My anger will become sober only if I kill and bury you.
Nobody can do anything to me until my Vichu is there.
What did you say?
[Chuckling]
Nobody can do anything to me until my Vichu is there I said.
Until Vichu is there...
[Door Opens]
Where is he?
Where is your son?
Did you come to my house to teach song?
Else, did you come searching the bride for your son?
They are young ones.
They have made a mistake unknowingly.
Is it right to talk like this?
You are orphans, who don't have anyone if you are beaten.
Have you become so arrogant?
I won't leave without shooting him.
- Sir. - Go that side.
Sir...
[Gun Firing]
Vichu...
You and your son should go off from this village before daybreak.
Else you'll see your son as a dead body only.
Vichu! Vichu! Vichu!
- Leave me sister-in-law. - Listen to me.
I want to see Vichu.
- Sister-in-law. - Leave me.
- Wait. Brother will kill Vichu. - Let me meet him.
- Leave me. - Look. Look at me.
- Leave me. I want to see Vichu. - Listen to me.
Shooting is not so easy.
He'll threaten, he won't shoot.
It's not good for you to go alone in this midnight.
Look, Mary.
I know very well about where and how to take you.
- Believe me, child. - Sister-in-law.
[Sobbing]
Vichu.
- Mother. - Vichu. Vichu.
Nothing happened to you, isn't it.
- Nothing happened to me. - No.
Vichu. I told you many times. Now, Yamen has come to our house.
What? What happened, mother?
Vichu.
We'll go to any other place from this village, which don't have human nature.
[Knock On Door]
I won't leave you to die. I won't leave you to die.
Did I bear you for 10 months & give birth to you to see you as a dead body?
You be here.
I won't leave him. I won't leave him.
[Sobbing]
All of you are frightening like this as it's a family without a man...
Is this fair for you? My son has done a mistake.
I'll control him.
You're too a girl, aren't you. Don't do anything to him.
I won't leave him. I won't leave him.
Mam.
I didn't come to you with fight. I've come to hand over your daughter-in-law.
Vichu.
I can get my husband's consent by talking peacefully.
I've given the burden to you which I was bearing for these days.
Hereafter, you're her mother, father and all.
Mother...
What is this?
You're keeping such a big burden on my head.
I'm a helpless woman.
Don't mistake thinking that I've given you my burden.
We must solve this problem.
We can't.
We can't solve this problem definitely.
Before they die by falling in that angry man's sight...
...please take her from here.
I won't go. I won't go.
Don't tell me to go. Let my soul go off here itself.
I won't go.
Don't ask me to go. I won't go.
My husband will shout until they get married.
Your husband is roaming with a gun.
You're talking about the marriage.
If there is a fate that there should be blast
sound in their marriage instead of music sound, who can change that?
If the marriage take place, all the problems will get solved automatically.
Even after that if my husband's anger doesn't subside...
...fate can take its decision.
Live well. Get up.
I'm unable to give you turmeric rope and ask you to tie the rope.
What will I do, Vichu. I don't understand anything.
God.
I'm a widow. Take me.
But, save my children. Don't do anything.
[Bike Approaching]
What will I do now? I don't understand anything.
Vichu, Mary...
Both of you run off somewhere from here.
The dishonor that I got today will come for you tomorrow. Think about that.
- What he tells is correct. Come. - We shouldn't leave them.
It's o.k. Even if they come and kill me. I won't leave you and go.
- Are you going to move from here or not? - I won't go, mother.
Vichu!
I won't go.
[Sobbing]
I only know the shiver of my womb.
Go from here respectfully.
Not for you.
She's kept another burden trusting me. I'm telling for that only.
Go man. Go. Go man. Go.
Mother. I'll go mother. I'll go, I'll go, mother. I'll go.
The daybreak will be good for you, dear.
Go. Go man.
What does that mean if we don't have discipline. We'd stop that.
Mary.
Can you hear that cuckoo sound?
Sound of the sea waves?
My heart's sound that palpitates.
Won't I hear my heart's sound?
Mary.
It's all right even if they kill us.
This cuckoo sound...
Waves sound...
...our heart's beat...
will be heard without interval.
There is no death for us.
Each and every waves that are coming will tell our name without rest.
If these waves stop someday, our names too will be destroyed.
Do you think that these waves would stop?
Go soon. Escape from here soon. Go somehow. Go.
Vichu.
It's all right even if they kill us.
This cuckoo sound...
Waves sound...
...our heart's beat...
will be heard without interval. There is no death for us.
Please. Go from here. Run off. Go Please.
I won't leave you.
No. I won't leave you man.
I won't leave you.
Father...
Leave me.
- David. Listen to what I say. - Please don't stop me, father.
David.
Please, leave me before I become an animal.
Are you a human now?
True Christian will not commit murder and will not allow to commit murder.
Will he be quiet seeing the destruction of religion.
Please, leave me father.
David. Have you gone mad?
Yes. I've gone mad.
My religion has caught me, father.
Let that religion be. First, try to behave like a human.
No religion wants to kill one another and no law allows that.
I'm not going to fear for any law. Whatever you say.
It's all right even if I lose my property. I won't allow turmeric rope...
...to hang in my sister's neck where cross- hung.
It won't happen. I won't leave it to happen.
She'd live as a Christian girl.
Even if she die, she'd die as a Christian girl only, father.
[Bell Jingle]
If this is the hindrance for our unity, we don't need this.
Now, both of us are not in any religion or in any caste.
Please. Leave us to live.
To a man who wants to make the justice to live, grass will become a weapon.
To the one who thinks to destroy that, weapon too will become grass.
Love is the justice which can not be destroyed by weapons.
If those lines and limits don't allow us for convenient journey...
...they'll be erased or made to part.
