'Dinasari'

'Everyday'

See you.

Success

The so-called hero was somewhere around...

I don't see him around.

Went to check salary slip.

Salary Slip?

How does he get lucky with a douchebag every week?

May everyone be blessed by the Lord.

Good.

- Take a seat. - You too.

Did you get here a long time ago?

Not at all.

- I was praying. So, it got delayed. - Not a problem.

I swore I'd trek to Pazhani if my daughter gets a great match.

Hi

I am Sakthivel

I am Sanchana

- Good. - That would be a one-way trek.

He might settle there with a begging bowl.

- He doesn't know about our guy. - He might even need to borrow the bowl.

Do you wish to ask me something?

- Where are you working? - At Wipro.

What is your take-home salary?

Take home...

Excluding the cuts, it would be around 42k.

Good.

My daughter says that you make a good pair.

Yeah.

It's rare to find a couple this perfect.

- Grab a bite - We got started right when we got here.

You don't have to let us know.

- Where did you buy the savouries? - My daughter prepared it.

Oh...

Our guy is speaking with the girl.

- He might ask her something stupid. - Not to worry, mom.

Even I have prayed to Lord Pazhani Aandavar.

He will not let us down. Chill!

Who knows what he's done?

Let's go, dad.

Why, what happened?

Why waste their time? Let's go.

- What is it? - I don't know

- Ask them. - I will wait in the car.

Back to square one.

No matter to whom we pray, he is going to let us down.

Why did I give birth to him?

So, no trekking and no begging bowl?

Alright.

The thing is...

- We shall discuss this at the square... - Dad...

We will discuss this with my son and will call you.

- The savouries were good. - They might think less of us. Let's leave.

- Don't embarrass us. - Who knows when this will end?

What happened?

Why is he looking for a girl?

He'd be better off tying the knot with a cash machine.

I don't think I will ever meet my daughter-in-law in this life.

Whenever we go to seek a bride...

Don't you have any sense of boundaries?

How much is your earnings, and incentives...

You're forever whining.

Counting her, you've turned down eight girls.

Shakti was clear from the beginning.

He set the condition that he wants a girl who makes more money than him.

What's wrong now?

You're blaming the brokers and giving my brother a hard time.

Rightly said.

- Are you siding with him? - Someone has to.

Alright.

Can't you live happily with your wife on your salary?

How can I be happy, dude?

These days, one income isn't enough for a family.

The government claims that a family can survive on 800 rupees a month.

The price of a gas cylinder is 1200 rupees.

Should I take a loan for the extra 400?

Like it or not, cash runs the world.

We can survive on our earnings.

But can we enjoy a lavish lifestyle?

Hey!

Lavishness can be found in the palace of Queen Elizabeth...

and also in the house of an elementary school teacher.

What is lavishness?

Don't you think having money and a fancy house is living in luxury?

Using my luxury, I provided her with jewels and got her married.

Now you're in the IT company, talking fancy English.

Thanks to my luxury.

Quit your whining.

Lectures might sound impressive.

Practically not at all possible.

We are working at a big IT organization.

To onlookers, it seems like we're living in luxury.

They'll get our real struggle once they see it up close.

It's very difficult to balance our lives and work.

With our partner earning a little extra,

we can achieve our dreams.

I'm the one to blame for it all.

Should you ever ask me to pick a bride...

you will never get married.

If you'd married a girl with a job,

I wouldn't be dealing with this.

And I wouldn't have been grilling you.

What's wrong with your mom?

She looks after everyone in the family all day.

Isn't that considered work?

Do you believe sitting at a desk with a laptop the only kind of work?

Outdated beliefs!

Life has been quiet and content with your mom.

Ask your mom with if she happy with me?

What is it?

- What's wrong with you? - Nothing wrong.

Our pair will be as complementary as salt and pepper.

Black and white make the perfect pair.

You believe making money takes precedence over self-respect?

Those who have nought all will despise;

All raise the wealthy to the skies.

Yeah, that's me.

I had a hunch he was the one.

Congrats, buddy.

Our company staff will have a get-together

- Buddy, open the bottle. - Of course.

Welcome, graceful damsel.

You are my problem.

It's on you.

My fault? Name a perfect one.

I do what everyone usually does.

Take note of this mess-up and report it all together.

A good manager addresses what their team members need.

I didn't lure them.

But now, I'm gearing up to exceed my limits.

Leave me.

You look so plumpy.

Let me go, sir.

See you.

Gayathri, why don't you get him married soon?

Do you think we aren't trying?

He doesn't budge.

What do you expect us to do?

The matchmaker is here.

Call me later.

We shall talk tomorrow. Go, sleep now.

I guess you won't rest until you get your commission.

That's not what matters.

What matters is getting your brother married.

As if you are so concerned.

I have been waiting for a while. Shall we go in?

- Get in. - Thank, you.

No matter how much my brother berates you

you keep your smile and come back.

How can you do that?

I've grown and matured after being battered, berated, disgraced, and everything else.

Poor soul, take a seat.

I assumed it was purely decorative.

Quite the comedian.

Affectionate mother...

matured sister...

A groom seeking a bride whose earnings surpass his own.

That's it?

- I will find the match. - Please...

Warning: you will get worn out.

Wear out or tear out, I won't throw in the towel

Even if she's a mermaid, I'll dive into the sea, and bring her to the shore,

and will get her married. Until then I will not rest.

I think I will rest in peace before you are done.

Even if he gets the job of Google's CEO...

he will still demand from the bride.

So needy?

Try to understand this.

It's the Lord's wife who manages the Lord's expenses. Do you know that?

Don't blabber for your commission.

- Hey! - Greetings, madam.

I had warned you not to come here with the suitors for my son.

Then why are you here?

Potato fry? A bit on the bland side.

Hold on, madam. Look at this.

Take a look at this girl.

She looks so pretty.

If your son looks at her...

he will rush you to get him married to her.

My son won't budge, Cleopatra or not, until he checks her paycheck

You speak as if he's giving her a security clearance.

She is working in an IT firm and earns 1.25 lakhs per month.

You're good at steering us off course.

Don't mix up things.

She is a psychiatrist in the IT field.

Well, my son would end up as her patient, not her husband.

Husbands often end up as patients

I have promised them.

Enough with the husbands, why don't you screw the daughters-in-law now?

Shut up!

Cut it!

Remember what the astrologer said.

If Shakti doesn't get married in the next four months...

he will not get married in the next seven years.

- He is growing old too. - So?

He is putting in too much effort.

Let's meet the girl first.

- Okay. - Good.

I have no choice left as his mother.

Thank God.

We shall go look at the bride...

finish the formalities, fix the wedding date and get my commission.

- You still won't forget your cut. - Potato fry is your cut.

Let me pack it then.

- It might be stale. - No thanks.

Greetings, Sir.

- My boss passed it. - Yeah.

He said that the interest must reach him on yhe fifth of every month.

Count it.

Why do you always seem to be absorbed in reading?

Diving into reading is great, but diving into drinking isn't

Excessive drinking might wreck your organs.

- Welcome. - Greetings, Sir.

Greetings.

Take a seat.

Sir...

Here is the receipt of your last month's payment.

Alright.

Here you go.

- Count it. - Will do, Sir.

- All good? - Yes, sir.

Thanks.

- Thank you. - Thanks.

What's that?

Is this a well to peek inside?

Don't do that.

Get back to work.

- Alright, master. - I save money and you save bottles.

It's superb, Shakti.

Did you like it?

Indeed it has no issues to regret.

But is it necessary?

How long can we stay in a cramped area?

We can't even roll over or stretch our legs while sleeping.

The tight quarters are extremely cramping

Even though it's cramped, we still get good sleep.

Here, the recurring instalments will haunt us.

Why do you bother about the instalments?

How won't they bother me?

We would feel that we had paid the current instalment?

But very soon the next instalment would approach.

You've reached a saturation point in every aspect of your life.

You are not able to embrace newer things.

How is it possible for serious ailments to have minor remedies?

Modern-era kids often confuse likes with necessities.

It's up to you.

God bless you.

Discuss with me if you have any issues.

Trying to handle the issue yourself won't solve anything

We are here to help. You know it, right?

Why don't you guide him?

He is a new recruit. So, he is stressed out.

Don't worry. I'm here for you.

- A boost, brother. - You may leave.

- Hey, hi! - Shakti.

I have good news.

What is it?

Next month, you'll have completed four years at this company

You are a premiere customer

Your interest will increase from 12 to 18%.

Really?

- Here is your tea. - Thanks a lot, Sir.

Why don't you make a huge investment?

Huge investment?

Why do you diversify the funds... and why wait for the returns?

Invest big.

Within three years, let's double your investment and interest.

What do you say?

- How much? - Just 1 crore.

1 crore?

Inclusive of my personal loan and other leverages, I can invest up to 50 lakhs.

I know, Shakti.

I have several bank agents for such things.

They will take care of it.

Four different banks...

let's take a loan of 25 lakhs from each bank...

you will have 1 crore within 4 days.

What do you say?

- Hope I won't get into trouble. - I will take care.

Some guys will approach you at lunch hours.

Sign the application and forms wherever they ask you to.

I will take care of the rest.

Alright, Sir.

What thoughts are you having?

Give me a week.

No problem

Make a wise choice and act swiftly.

Aren't you ready yet, Shakthi?

It is not how you think.

The match-fixer confirmed that she earns more than you.

What?

You often put prospective brides through the wringer with your questions.

I don't want you to repeat the same mistakes and mess things up.

Act smart!

I will be there just for an hour.

Only then will I be able to get to the office on time.

I am swamped with work.

Somehow I got permissions for two hours.

Let's go.

Hurry up!

Draping sarees has worn us out.

The endless search for brides have worn you out.

Everyone is waiting for you. Speed up!

I'm coming.

Come on. We are running late.

Why is he calling me?

Have you started, Shakti?

Yesterday, I informed HR and requested two hours' permission.

HR accepted it.

Shakthi, the client is waiting. No excuses.

Check if the car has reached.

Start soon.

What's up, Shakthi?

Looking for a prospective suitor? Once again?

You're making a true effort to seek out a girl that fits your horoscope.

But God doesn't appear to be merciful towards you.

- All the best. - None asked you.

Greetings, Sir.

- Just ignore him. - Some day, I gonna beat him up.

Forget about him.

The teacher might bombard me with moral quotes

Where do you want to sit? Front or at the back?

Neither.

What?

I need to attend an urgent meeting at the office.

- Cancel the program. - What?

That's not possible.

- Which is important? This or that? - My office work is important.

Aren't you going to see suitor?

- No! - Then we will go look at her.

- You can go alone to meet her. - You are right.

Meeting her is not an important thing.

Conditions matter the most.

The whole nation knows about it.

- Get lost. - I heard it was discussed at the UN too.

Zip up.

You go to the office and we go there.

Okay. Don't forget my conditions.

Condition!

Why is your son picked like a stray dog?

Is he working for a corporate or corporation office?

- I think it's a blessing in disguise. - True!

It would have been better if the groom had been here.

He's swamped with extra tasks at work, keeping him busy.

Don't be shocked if he arrives at his wedding only after asking for permission for hours.

I must clarify one thing.

If he's that dedicated to his company,

think about how dedicated he would be as a husband to your girl.

Make sure to keep this in mind.

Despite not being paid yet, your dedication is amazing.

What if you had been paid earlier?

I wouldn't have come to your house.

None invited you.

- What is he saying? - He's eager to see the bride.

Could you ask her to come over?

- Shivani, please come. -Will she make a parachute jump?

She is the bride.

- Take a good look at her. - I can just see her dress.

Did she adopt her from Mahabalipuram?

Greet everyone.

Her mother is an American.

Her dad is an Indian.

- I did mention it, didn't I? - No, you didn't.

Yeah, I didn't.

I'm telling you now.

Greetings.

Don't they apply coconut oil to hair?

Please stay quiet.

What is he saying now?

He is asking, why not cut to the chase?

Shivani might be addressing me as 'dad'.

I'm her guardian.

During a psycho shootout at a shopping complex in New Jersey...

I lost my family...

and Shivani lost her parents.

So...

It's okay.

- She looks so elegant. - Thanks.

- Let's get done with the formalities. - Hold on, matchfixer.

Beauty is not everything.

Let's discuss the conditions (terms) of the groom.

Why discuss the conditions when the groom looks physically well-conditioned?

Hey!

We can tell them the conditions that the groom wished.

You mean that?

Let me put my conditions first.

Dad...

He is the one who usually does that. But, now she is doing it.

She is a girl of this generation. Just get used to it.

- I wouldn't work after the marriage. - What?

- Damn! - What a bummer!

You have yet to mention your conditions.

You need not work, dear.

Mom...

Why are you changing your stance?

We might need to sacrifice three lives.

Get ready to see your mom in a new light.

What are they discussing?

Generally, they would say 'we shall discuss and let you know'.

However, they will have their discussion here and let you know right here.

Miss. American Angel...

you need not go to work.

My son has substantial income to feed all.

Even if you tell him that you earn 1.25 Lakhs per month...

he will non chalantly ask you if know to cook.

The only word that my son dislikes is...

'Money'.

Did he say that while when he was in the womb?

Look at her lying with such ease.

Valliyamma...

You continue to build a heap of lies...

Even falsehood has the nature of truth, if it confers a benefit that is free from fault.

A taste of my own medicine?

If you keep your tone down, I will take care of the rest.

Do you really want to see our son's wedding?

Why are you just gazing? Tell them.

What do I say?

That you like the girl...

You are my sister-in-law...

Don't mistake that my son isn't here.

Because my son would never disregard my decision.

Absolutely.

- He will thump us to the ground. - Play to the gallery.

Don't pinch me, mom.

So, it is not actually my son-in-law but my son.

That's the way to do it.

An American citizen?

She was raised there.

Now she is settled here.

She is determined to marry a guy from Tamil Nadu.

They instantly liked our family.

- Really? - Yeah.

Are we the right match?

You need not bother about it.

You two would make a good match.

Meet her once and you will get your answers.

Alright. Let me meet.

- What's her salary package? - You aren't supposed to ask that.

Why?

Because it would spark jealousy.

Jealousy?

She is earning 1.25 Lakhs per month.

Are you happy?

In your view, 'money is life'?

True.

Caring, affection, relationships, love, et cetera don't matter?

Just like materialistic appliances...

you want to own a wife as your property.

Think it over.

At times, in such a competitive world...

we can't be true to ourselves.

So, when you are agreeing to your convenience, you call it love/marriage?

Isn't it apparent to you as a business agreement?

Dad!

Will you please be quiet?

Why are you talking about such things?

Valliyammai...

I hoped that our son and his wife would be like us.

But he wishes to be something else.

As you wish...

Ignore him...

It's his usual drama.

- Do you have her photo? - No, I don't.

Her number?

She has a phone number but she doesn't use WhatsApp.

She doesn't use a smartphone.

Just a keypad phone.

She despises using social media apps.

She prefers face-to-face interaction.

You have to see her in person.

And one more thing...

Don't feel proud about rejecting eight proposals.

She has rejected ten men.

She leads you by two points.

What is it?

As all her suitors were excited just about her wealth.

and she rejected them.

I'm telling you this because...

you are so nosy...

- Mom... - when it comes to money.

So, if you ask her about her take-home salary...

What if she tells you 'You go back home'?

I don't want my son to be on her rejected list.

That's why I'm telling you this.

Did you get her point?

She asks you not to get self-eliminated.

Why would I ask her?

She has ticked off my condition, correct?

As far as I'm concerned...

I got my queen.

You eat...

'Get ready for some turbulence.'

"Little lies keep love alive"

"That's the gentleness women crave, of this I'm sure"

"Little lies keep love alive"

"That's the gentleness women crave, of this I'm sure"

"Women dance to the tune of praise'

"They bask in people's praise"

"Please embrace these directives"

"Your charm outshines even the glitters of gold"

"Or will it retreat, humbled by your stunning beauty?

"Your charm outshines even the glitters of gold"

"Or will it retreat, humbled by your stunning beauty?"

"In the vast universe, your beauty stands unrivalled."

"I'm lost for words in the presence of your beauty. "

"It's the destiny that forged our souls"

"Let the doors of paradise open wide"

"Let them usher us into a radiant future"

"Your charm outshines even the glitters of gold"

"Or will it retreat, humbled by your stunning beauty?"

"Kith and kin prepare to toast to success."

"The neighbourhood stands ready to share their gifts."

"What gift can match the splendor of my queen?"

"A universe as a gift would still fall short"

"I will gift her timeless love, boundless affection, and a soul pure as gold"

"The exchanges of beetle leaves and areca nuts confirm the alliance"

"The relatives convene to set the wedding date."

"A blaze of lamps and a riot of flowers illuminate the dais"

"The exchange of garlands and tying of the knot seals our marriage."

"No one else can boast a life more fulfilling than ours"

"No duo is celebrated as highly as we are."

"This is the convergence of two paths."

"What destiny awaits them on the horizon?"

"Does destiny weave their paths into one?"

"Does the confluence of varied ideologies bring good?"

"Can they walk hand in hand, forever?"

"Will contrasting spirits find a garden of roses in life?"

My aspirations until today.

What kind of aspirations?

How I've dreamed my future wife to be like...

I compiled that as a Powerpoint presentation.

Do people also use PPTs for these kinds of things?

Aren't you shy?

'What do I expect from my wife?'

I'm sharing it with my wife.

There's no reason to feel shy.

Maybe you are not...

Blushing already?

You'd be amazed by what remains unseen.

Sit.

This is the analysis of our lives.

My age is 29.

You are 27.

If we start working from now...

How will our lifestyle unfold? Let's explore.

My take-home is 77k.

Let's assume that your package is 1L.

In case, one amongst us needs to work onsite...

If this holds good, at age 60, our cash balance and networth would be...

(Tamil song being played)

She is the root cause.

But she is listening to music.

Dad, turn the volume down.

Ok

- Oh, God! He's letting loose on everyone - Mom!

Where is she? Elder sister, come out.

I'm not at fault here.

Mom takes the full credit.

She said with your earnings ten people can be fed.

- What do you mean? - She is spilling the beans.

Dimwit...

There are only five of us in our family.

Would you bring in five homeless guys and treat them to a meal?

Throw me out onto the streets.

Come out now.

Sister!

Can you hear me? Come out.

I'm not coming out. You'll smack me if I do.

Stop talking from in there, just come out.

Hey, look here.

You deal with mom. Not just that...

She also said...

You prioritize character over wealth.

So...

- "God save me" - What's this, mom?

Why is he staring at me?

That was just a spur-of-the-moment thing.

What?

It's my life.

Is it a spur-of-the-moment thing?

No, son.

All of you have deceived me.

Oh...

- God! - Has he calmed down?

Not yet.

At any cost...

I didn't want to get caught in middle-class life like your husband.

I had so many plans.

So, many aspirations.

You scraped everything in no time.

Darn!

- Hey! - I won't work.

- The first night isn't happening. - It's okay.

Okay?

If I'm not getting it, you won't either.

Hey!

You can manage with your earnings, right?

Get adjusted.

ADJUST!!

Mom...

Are you all getting what I'm saying?

You can't realize my pain.

The one facing it knows.

I presumed we could talk her into working after the wedding.

Thought? To hell with your thoughts.

Can't you see?

She is just ignoring me.

Son...

What if my daughter-in-law doesn't work?

We're not going to end up begging, right?

I can't keep doing this forever. I need to level up.

That's fine.

Mind is a huge colander that can never be filled.

A fish in water won't stink...

Being less wealthy isn't something to be ashamed of.

The neighbours' cooking doesn't fill our stomachs.

Words alone don't cut it.

But reality hits hard.

Be practical.

Take a look at how others are living.

I have a strong aversion to the word 'others'.

- What's your name? - Shakthi.

What's your dad's name?

Pazhaniyappan.

Your grandfather's name?

- Velayudham. - And your great-grandfather?

I don't know. So, what?

There was one Gopal in the third house.

He passed away last week due to a brain fever.

Do you know that?

I don't know him.

You know neither.

Even Gopal wouldn't have a clue about you.

Don't pin your greed on others.

Greed turns riches into rags.

Have a good sleep.

What's destined for you will eventually come...

What's up, Shakthi?

Your first night seems as epic as a blockbuster film.

The noise is piercing my ears.

The one supposed to have the first night missed out.

What's the relevance of a first night for someone my age?

Look at who you're talking to.

After the first night, Shakti seems older.

Alcohol has aged you.

If I don't get my coffee, my head's going to explode.

She is stirring the coffee.

Where is my coffee, mom?

We're also awaiting the coffee.

Your wife is preparing it.

She asked us not to set our foot in the kitchen.

She insists on handling it all by herself.

She seems set to demonstrate her culinary expertise.

We are here waiting.

My wife? God!

(Music played)

(Tamil song played)

I can see that your mom never let inside the kitchen.

But, can't you tell the difference between coffee powder and shikakai powder?

Please ask her about any other talents she has.

I guess she will see my end.

Just yesterday, I ground up the shikakai and put it in the kitchen

Why keep it in the kitchen when it could be in the bathroom?

It's my fault.

Your dad frequently mentions the repercussions of laziness.

I can see my neighbour, Parameshwaram.

- What is it, dad? - I was just wondering...

I was curious whether the holes were made manually or with lathe machines.

Won't the chutney and curry leak through these?

How is idiyappam, uncle?

Is this idiyappam?

Impressive! The flour's really sticking together in one piece.

- Don't eat. - Alright, uncle.

Aunty, tiffin.

Let's check out what you'll get.

Maybe dosa resembling chapati, or noodles resembling parotta.

I don't like pongal, aunty.

That is porridge.

Not porridge?!

Dad, I will go live with dad.

To Dubai?

Shall I join you?

Don't kid, uncle.

Sakthi, your sins are backfiring.

Sorry, I couldn't make it to your wedding.

Prem, curious about his first experience?

Forget that dimwit.

Here I come...

Ignore him...

We shall not discuss it.

We must not feel about trivial things.

Just be content with what you are blessed with.

Lucky you, she didn't ask you to look after her family.

Be thankful for that.

I thought you'd assist me, not tease me.

In the words of actor Goundamani, they pick their own challenges.

Your wedding post is going viral... 99 likes and 49 comments.

You are the meme material of our company.

Done? Now get back to work.

What is this?

Sorry, buddy, I shared it by mistake.

- Was it he who shared it? - Hey!

Why did you share it?

My parents always insist that I share my friends' problems.

You are no friend.

Strangely, my friends' problems bring me joy.

Your first misstep in life.

But it hurts even more that it also ruined your first night.

Will you...

I'll show you how to lead a happy and peaceful married life

- You? - Of course me.

- Tough times. - Listen...

No matter the size of the issue, always stay in zen mode.

Look at her. My wife...

- I married her. - You?

When she first started at this company...

She had the charm and grace of a typical village damsel.

But now I can just reminisce about the old her.

Have you observed her interacting with other girls?

She's perpetually surrounded by men.

Look at her flirting.

Call her, man.

Your husband wants to have a word with you.

What's going on there? Come here.

- You're quite gutsy. - A husband is meant to be bold.

Your mom asked me to prepare dumplings.

I was just asking how to dump.

carve out a six-feet deep fit and dump me.

I think that's more than enough.

I'll dig that hole myself now that I'm married to you.

Hey, Shakti, your new wife's preparation?

Will you share it with us?

That's why I called you. Taste it.

- Why? - Let her realize how bad her cooking is.

Your wife is a much better cook than mine.

- Is she that bad? - Indeed. Horrible.

- Wow! - Wow? Pass that to me.

I did tell you that your wife is a better cook.

- It's superb, Shakti. - Don't kid me.

Wow, it's bad.

I think it's good.

What? It's bad, right?

This is not fair. As she is refusing to work...

you are blindly blaming her.

Stop mocking me, guys.

- Let me taste it. - It's superb!

Did it get stuck?

- Good, no problem. - I did tell you.

Has it silenced your senses?

I will be right back.

- What happened? - Where is he going?

- Hello, mom... - Hello!

Who prepared lunch?

Are you pulling my leg?

I haven't set foot in the kitchen. I've been binge-watching reels.

Mom, don't lie to save her.

Why would I lie?

Your wife cooked it. I swear.

Just ask her.

- Hold it... Shivani. - Mom!

- Shivani... - Mother-in-law?

Your husband is on the line.

You are calling so early, hubby?

Did you prepare the lunch?

Yeah. Why do you ask? Isn't it good?

No, it was good.

Did you expect it to be worse?

Not really.

What about the ones in the breakfast?

I made those as well.

Why the vast difference?

You mean the taste?

When I prepared my first coffee...

had it been good, you would have said 'that's fine'.

Had it been good, you would have said 'superb'.

You will tell everyone about the 'shikakai coffee' that I prepared.

Because bitter things stay forever than sweeter things.

- Mmm. - What 'Mmm'?

I mean it was good.

It will be good from now onwards

And your work?

Darn!

- Who's he talking to? - He is here.

What happened, darling?

- What? - Who were you speaking to?

- I won't tell. - What?

Doesn't matter.

- Dive into the work - Work?

Of course, we have tasks to do.

Are we here to gab?

Why are you harping on this? Get back to work.

Get back to work? You heard him.

Get back to work.

- You work... And you flirt. - Get lost.

I'll reveal who I am when you need help with your wife.

I will handle that. You mind your business.

I will be watching.

These days, people judge others by their shoes

rather than their faces.

How long do you plan to stay middle class?

Just three more years.

You can earn more than your seniors.

What do you say? I will take care.

Okay? Have tea.

One 'Boost' for me.

Didn't you sleep?

I'm having trouble sleeping.

Why?

My birth time was at the wee hours, 2:30 am.

I'm rarely asleep at this hour.

Why can't you take on night shift work?

I am feeling so sleepy now

I don't foresee her getting a job.

Thinking of getting married again after handling your wife?

Don't rile me up, I'm going nuts.

Why? What happened?

I wish I picked her up every day...

and drop at her office...

and I come here. Between these, a coffee...

and then breakfast.

- And evenings... - Snacks?

But she is...

She washes her hair and dresses herself with vermilion and flowers.

and smears holy ashes on her forehead like a saint.

lights benzoin resin, and lets the smoke waft through the air.

Think in my shoes.

That's the ideal way a wife should be.

Your family gets double the income.

You won't understand my pain.

Also, her wife earns more than him.

You mean the extra 11 Rupees?

That's barely enough for a tea.

But the unkind things my wife does because of that...

- That's not right. - This is not right

- That's missing. - This is missing.

- The food is bland. - The ironed dress still shows creases.

I might need a few spare ears to listen to her grumbling.

Driving her to work and back home: my daily grind.

My plight is such that even my foe would sympathize with me.

Why are you crying?

I'm not that foe.

- Empathy? - Yeah!

Hi, my wife from abroad.

Come out.

Step outside, my wife.

No one is coming out.

Is this the level of respect I can expect?

Why don't you call your mom?

Mother...

Why are you pleading like a beggar?

- A beggar? - Yeah.

Did I sound like that?

Mom!

Come out, mom.

- Who is that? - Your mom has come out.

We didn't make dinner; we placed an online order.

Stay angry-faced.

We have just leftovers.

- Wow, rice! - Hey!

Why are you mimicking a beggar?

A beggar?

You ganged up; conspired and made me marry her.

And made me a beggar.

What's that?

- 'Boost' - Is it now sold in bottles?

Shakthi, I think it's been a week since the tough times began.

What do you mean?

I mean, it's been a week since your wedding day.

- Who is he? - Ask him.

Who are you?

I'm an ex-family man. Currently a drunk man.

Scoot, Manohar.

- Go! - Get lost.

Dear...

- Gayathri! - What is it, mom?

- Come out. - She is louder than you.

- If you can pass me the plate. - You want this?

Have it.

Shakti, you seem to be always accompanied by a beggar.

Who is it that you're calling a beggar?

The one with the plate.

What are you doing?

I'm hungry, man.

- Your family is here. - What is he up to?

- Greetings, teacher. - Look at him, dad.

When did you develop the habit of drinking?

Very recent habit. And you too picked a new habit.

A new member got added up.

You changed your old habits, right?

Similarly I have changed.

There is the princess.

See the scholarly woman.

She doesn't like foreign culture.

Apparently, she will adapt to Indian culture.

This is so bland.

People here have adapted Western culture.

But look at her.

You go. I will handle him.

- Hey. - Mummy!

Get rid of those ridiculous items before you come inside. Clear?

- Including this. - What?

This family has turned the commotion into a joke.

Yes, buddy.

Dear, wife...

My colleagues are questioning why do I still commute by bike.

They are asking me when will I buy a car.

Can't avoid it. It's a social status.

And, talking of HIG (High Income Group) houses...

We receive exceptional respect from others.

First, we need to get out of this MIG (Middle Income Group) house.

We have to shift to HIG.

What is required of me for that?

You need to get a job.

Based on your job...

I have taken many loans.

75k for a housing loan and 25k...

for a car loan.

And there is another 15k...

Yeah...

I took a personal loan.

Why did you leave out renaming 5k?

Why didn't you take some other loan?

You are right.

Had you asked me what do I need...

You are a man

You are talking about things that you are interested in.

You are so selfish

Can't women live as they wish?

Had I wished to earn...

I would have stayed in the USA.

I was brought up in an environment where I lacked interaction with others.

I relocated to India to find the family I need.

I desired to cook meals that would please all the family members.

You don't need a wife to do that.

You can get things delivered to your home by ordering online.

Pay more, they will even feed you.

She flew to India for this.

A life the way you desire.

You could have lived as your true self.

Peacefully!

Peace?

That phase was never in my life.

We imposed our family expectations on you.

The body can endure pressure...

...but not when the mind gives in.

I need your support to handle it.

Sure thing.

- Coming from the bank, Senior? - Yeah.

Withdrew the case for the monthly expenses.

Why cash when everything has become cashless?

If you don't have card, you can easily use UPI.

I agree it is easy.

When you review those figures, it can really hurt.

- I didn't get that. - Let me explain.

Say I have cash.

I hold the total control of the amount spent and amount remaining.

Only then I'd realize the value of money.

Just like you said, if I use debit/credit card, UPI...

they are just numbers.

Our life already is all about numbers...

Everywhere I go, we have to deal with Identity number, phone number...

PIN, PAN number, token number and so many things torment us.

This is the reward for my labour.

I will not outnumber this.

One final thing...

The cashless facility goes obsolete during natural disasters...

and technological failure.

It's deeper than it appears.

What's up, dude?

- How's married life treating you? - Good. My wife is here.

You didn't attend my wedding, right?

- No! - Let me introduce my wife...

Sanjana!

Please come here.

Remember I mentioned about my colleague... Shakti.

- Hi - Hi

And his wife!

This is my wife.

Where are you working?

- I'm a goner. - Oh! Good choice.

She will target me.

We've been pushed into a scenario where we both need jobs.

Why?

Because last month we bought a posh car.

Monthly instalment for that.

Additionally, we're planning to build a bungalow-style house.

That's why.

But you are smart.

I suppose your husband isn't putting too much on you.

Why are you bragging now?

To break it down for some dimwits.

Can we have food?

Let's go.

We will go grab a bite.

Picture how deliberate you were with your life's choices.

In place of treating her as your wife,

you perceived her as a business associate taking care of instalments.

See how life's calculations turn out now.

This is destiny.

From now on, you'll bear your burdens alone.

Dang!

Why did you strike up a conversation with her for no reason?

She gave me a sarcastic burn.

You were bragging like you had a job at an IT company.

And you were so proud of it.

I've taken out loans.

How will I manage to pay this back?

What's stopping you from getting a job?

Don't blame me for your mistakes.

This is ridiculous!

It's pointless to blame you.

The root of all these problems is my family.

Let's go home.

The bunch will be on the lookout.

She's got school tomorrow, right?

Yes, but she's not done with her homework yet.

Shakti, fighting all the time isn't the way to resolve things.

It's your call.

Am I fighting?

You all have put up a blockade in my way.

Now I'm cornered.

Yet you are blaming me.

Didn't I state my conditions at the start?

You deceived me into marrying her, who was unwilling to work.

And now...

My dream and aspirations and life...

You've turned them into something obsolete.

Ignoramus!

Do your words reflect your education?

Find joy in what you possess, rather than fretting over what you lack.

What do I possess?

As though you've amassed a fortune.

Wisdom is staying perched on a rock while elephants battle.

If he intervenes, he'll be trampled.

Life is parallel to that.

If she goes to work,

You both will become envious of each other,

leading to a tragic life.

An undertaking of one who has wealth in one's hands is like viewing

an elephant-fight from a hilltop.

Valluvar has explained this in Kural.

We have to embrace what we have or we must learn to.

That's the path we've walked.

We didn't grumble about about not having money like you do.

Enough with the old clichés.

You ruined my life.

Let me share this.

Show genuine love to your partner while you are still young.

This way, you'll have sweet memories to reminisce on in your later years.

And your existence will have significance.

If you think wealth is all you need to live your life...

Brother...

His words were as concise and profound as Thirukkural.

But you made him relay an epic saga in English.

If he had chosen to advise her instead of preaching,

she would have gone to work.

And he wouldn't have ended up grumbling,

and I wouldn't be here now.

Instead of talking with you, I might as well slam into a wall.

It's very strong, and that's concerning.

That's what I have been doing.

- Proceed. - Advice is handed out like candy.

Move, mom.

The one enduring it truly feels the pain.

Buddy...

Double-check your thoughts before deciding.

I've mulled it over numerous times.

I have no interest in getting a job.

I'm feeling hotter even though the air conditioner is on.

As fresh as a daisy.

Wow!

It's like vodka has come to life.

She's getting pulses racing.

What a charm?

- What? - Nothing, just a casual...

I was just greeting the manager.

Listen, man.

God!

Wait till the team lead arrives.

Where are you off to when the project is still not done?

If you didn't like my performance, you could've just told me.

What do you mean by that? Be more specific.

'Yes, your performance isn't up to the mark'

'Your project isn't impressive'

They said 'Your project is not good' and have put me on the bench.

Who said so?

Our project manager.

Wait for me.

Why would you bench my team member without my knowledge?

Indeed that's your team.

But I'm leading all five teams here.

So, I can make my decision on my own.

What made you decide this?

I gave his performance a good rating.

Of course, his performance is good.

Personally not good.

Personal report?

Like how you got the manager role?

Now you want him to become a pimp?

That's now wrong.

The lengths we go to keep our jobs.

Do you have no shame?

No reason to feel ashamed.

Power

We've got some new hires from outsourcing companies.

I will allocate a different source from them.

Ok?

The so-called management team...

You accept bribes from the so-called company which is a training institute.

You train them on the current project and then onboard them.

The recruits from college will end up in the non-performing category.

And then fire them.

And later you replace them with your guys.

Correct?

That's correct.

Compare the performance.

We're focused on the output.

Alright!

What's your final call?

He will be in bench.

That my final.

Dear...

What's going through your head?

Maybe getting me married to your son wasn't the best idea.

Perhaps you were wrong.

Maybe you were just focused on your son's life.

I don't have answers for these either.

What is it?

This solitude, holding onto the hope I have someone,

is so harsh.

No, dear.

"After a long road, I finally reached you."

"Let's groove and have a celebration."

"Hey, my soul, embrace me within you."

"Let's proclaim that our hearts have room only for each other."

"I've waited ages for you. Come on, give me a hug."

"After a long road, I finally reached you."

"Let's groove and have a celebration."

"All I ever wanted was your companionship."

"I will nurture you with care. Trust me, sweetheart"

"All I ever wanted was your companionship."

"I will nurture you with care. Trust me, sweetheart"

"Sing, dance, and party! Modern times call for it."

"Sing, dance, and party! Modern times call for it."

Joy is timeless, knowing no dusk or dawn.

"After a long road, I finally reached you."

"Let's groove and have a celebration."

"My heart is overwhelmed with joy as my dream comes true."

"However, my thoughts linger on the surreal fulfilment of my desires."

"My heart is overwhelmed with joy as my dream comes true."

"However, my thoughts linger on the surreal fulfilment of my desires."

"Sing, dance, and party! Modern times call for it."

"Sing, dance, and party! Modern times call for it."

Joy is timeless, knowing no dusk or dawn.

"After a long road, I finally reached you."

"Let's groove and have a celebration."

We can't help it.

Too much commitments and work pressure.

I hope you didn't face any issues later.

No, everything was fine after that. It finished there

Don't be so formal.

There he is!

- You Cheat! - He is talking to her in private.

Don't reply. Here you did reply.

No one knows that I'm a management reviewer.

She was chatting with him all this time,

and now she's taking off as soon as she caught sight of us.

Why did you leave us?

I was starving.

Starving for?

- He is hungry. - Me too.

- Shall we have lunch? - Please...

- How was the movie? - Good.

Tonight, I've set up a midnight dinner party in the moonlight.

I meant shall we share dinner?

That was so rude, Sir.

'Breaking news...'

'Ananya Gold, operating its primary office in Nungambakkam, Chennai... '

'and its proprietor got arrested'

'Promising to offer better interest rates...'

'he has allegedly defrauded several people by collecting around Rs. 4358 crores. '

'the owner of the firm, Punniyakodi...'

'and his wife Rajalakshmi'...

We have come across scams in movies and news channels...

Yet, some folks never grasp the lesson.

They get overly ambitious, pour in their life savings...

and then mourn the loss after being deceived.

I'm fed up with these things.

'Our reporter Jai Ganesh is with us'

Heard the news, buddy?

- Yeah, I saw it. - Did you talk to him?

Calls not reachable to him.

I suspect he has absconded.

I'm so scared.

Don't worry. He can't escape.

We can find him. Don't fret.

We shall figure out the course of action.

We'll talk about the rest at the office.

I'm coming.

[TV Reporter]

[TV Reporter]

[TV Reporter]

[TV Reporter]

Sir, don't push me back.

Hey Cameraman come forward.

Tell me, sir.

I lost my entire savings.

They have looted everything

I'm lost!

[TV News]

[Indistinct chatters]

They cheated us promising better interest rates.

You cheaters'

[TV Reporter]

[TV Reporter]

[TV Reporter]

You always double-check, even when it's just 10 rupees worth of fruits.

It's your duty to exercise caution while making investments.

There's a rise in the number of fraudulent companies.

Sathya along with camera person Vikki.

What's this, bro?

I will catch up later.

Narayana!

- Lost 35 lakhs? - Not really.

I withdrew the entire amount last month.

Why's your face swollen? Did you get into trouble with your wife?

Take a hike.

What's up, brilliant minds?

Did you all get tricked?

Cheers!

Back then, you were pumped for those rising interest rates.

You went quiet after losing the cash?

"Don't play dirty, my friend."

I warned you...

You believed some random...

Tone it down, eyes are on us.

You fell for some random dude and got scammed.

No idea where to go from here.

Also, he's turned off his phone.

He's a scammer, what did you think he'd do?

Expecting him to ring and return your money?

I have instructed Raju.

We're all set to trap this guy.

One way or the other, he's ours.

Don't you worry.

Chill and be calm.

Just three more years.

You can surpass your seniors in earnings.

I swear, I don't know.

You have recorded it on your mobile.

And you have forwarded it from your e-mail ID to Shakti

You're obscuring something that's out in the open.

Do you think we are fools?

Do you want me to accept that at face value?

I will be forwarding every detail to the higher authorities.

- Sir my life will ruin. - You are terminated.

It would ruin my life, Sir.

How will I...

Would you do whatever it takes for money?

We're not putting you on a blacklist.

- Shakti? - What happened?

Go and check if he's alright.

Stop there.

- Uncle... - What?

Why is this in the storeroom?

This is a testament to our love.

- Love story? - Yes, dear.

Dad, share your love story.

I was a pristine piece of paper...

and she doodled on it.

I was not acting like myself.

Like a clingy child, her memories remain with me.

Love that doesn't come when we expect

often loses its charm when it arrives late.

Change may occur in moments, days, or even years,

yet her memories always linger constantly.

Folks often say that the mind forgets, yet her love defied this notion.

Because...

Love is the soul's color that technology can't uncover.

And she is my soul.

This poetry didn't turn me into a poet;

it turned me into her lover.

I was in my first year of BSc Physics.

He was in the final year of his BA in Tamil Literature.

One day, she arrived alone...

carrying a veena...

akin to Goddess Saraswati

She was stunningly beautiful.

with Ilayaraja's melodious tunes playing...

I couldn't take my eyes off her.

'Can't you just leave me alone for once? My eyes need a break from you.

The veena in my hands came alive with music, despite me not touching it.

I didn't think about anything else.

I said 'I love you'.

Our love stories journeyed from the halls of our college...

to the doorsteps of our homes.

In our country, countless reasons exist to separate lovers.

There were a multitude of reasons.

We also had to confront many of those challenges.

Education, caste, status, and wealth—these issues never seem to end

It halted us for a while.

I didn't hear his voice.

I didn't see him.

Weapons were poised for the kill.

My dad said this to my mom...

It's simply a short-lived infatuation that will fade away soon.

They were too naive to see that love doesn't arise...

...from superficial beauty or lust.

My mom met him.

My family were against this.

Seven years and three months...

...and 9 days. At long last, I caught a glimpse of him.

Me too.

The moment I saw him...

Somehow...

we got married in a distant town.

She followed me, relying solely on my love.

After we left that place, our lives were never the same.

Since then, I haven't touched it.

Mom...

Will you? For me?

Could you play it for me once, Mother-in-law?

Please, granny.

Stop it! What's this?

Is this place a house or a club?

I'm home looking forward to a peaceful evening,

but your noise is echoing through the streets.

Level up your maturity with your age.

We were discussing our parent's love story.

Absolutely, it's a must-discuss!

I'm juggling a mountain of issues at work.

But at home everything is a mess.

At times, I wonder why I ended up being your kid?

- What's got into you? - Will you be quiet, mom?

- What's wrong with you? - Nothing!

So far, so good.

The future will work out just fine.

What's going on with this unusual talk?

I'm earnestly appealing to everyone.

Your sugarcoated words have really messed things up for me.

Let me be alone.

Please, no talking with me.

Please, I'd prefer to be left alone.

Come on!

Mom...

A tea please.

Your phone's available till you get the cash.

When you've got the money, your phone isn't reachable anymore.

No, brother...

- Signal problem. - Signal problem?

You're the cause of the problems, so you're fired.

My boss hands out money right from his office

without ever stepping out to collect it.

You have women at our place, right?

Brother...

Our boys don't seize goods, but they take women.

I need the money in two days flat.

Got it? A final warning.

Come on, brother.

You are munching a biscuit? Move!

Valliyammai...

Valliyammai...

Hey, Valliyammai!

Why are you shouting at the front door, old lady?

You feel like I'm yelling?

Someone is confronting your son about not paying up.

My son?

Of course, your kid, not mine.

The whole town is mocking him.

My son would never behave that way. You must have lost it.

Get out.

Why would I lie?

That's not something my son would ever do.

Don't babble on. Go!

Am I the one babbling?

It's up to you to believe me or not.

She has nurtured a loan taker.

My son would ever do such things.

Dear...

Dear...

Any trouble at work?

Can you fix them if I share?

For the last few days, I've been watching your activities,

- And you seem quite restless. - So?

- If you explain, I'll know what's up. - And then?

It might ease your stress.

All you can do is make me feel better.

Some folks even don't have anyone by their side to do such things.

Did I ask you to comfort me?

I blame the One who gave me such a messed up life.

You're too analytical.

Life is about accepting that we give up 90% and receive 10%

because that's how it's meant to be.

I've already given him a lot of money.

I can't take the abuse from my wife.

He took out a huge loan and now he's tormenting me.

Get lost!

I'm off to work.

Is breakfast done?

Buy it online.

Even though it's cramped, we still get good sleep.

Here, the recurring instalments will haunt us.

Modern-era kids often confuse likes with necessities.

Our boys don't seize goods, but they take women.

I need the money in two days flat.

Your astrology is so bad now.

You need to move on from north to east.

Hang on. I'm getting a call.

What?

Alright. As you wish.

What is it?

Your brother suggests moving to a different house.

There's supposedly a Vastu concern.

- Who just called you? - His friend.

I have no idea why he's behaving this way.

Here you go!

Thanks.

Definitely, Sir.

I will definitely pay within a week.

Can't you settle the loan?

Recall how many times you stood at my door asking for money.

Can't you take my call right away?

Your dad shares his wisdom with everyone...

Didn't your dad advise against taking loans?

- When will you return my money? - When will you repay me?

You cheat, you take my money and then relocate.

Did you think I can't trace you?

- Shakti! - When will you return my money?

My wife is berating me.

Won't you pay the interest?

You're not paying the interest or the principal.

We are calling from the car show room.

The model that you enquired about is available. When will you come to book?

If you don't repay on time...

you will face the repercussions.

When will you return my money?

Your EMI is overdue.

We too know about multiplying the money,

but now return the money.

Buddy, Raju just informed me.

Leg is hiding out at Durga Lodge in Porur.

Catch him right away.

I will...

You scoundrel!

- I'm innocent. - I trusted you and invested in it.

Where is Jayaseelan?

- Punniyakodi is behind this. - Where is he?

- Hold your horses. - Stop there.

One of the agents has turned us in.

- Who is it? - Agent Arjun.

Let him.

Allow him.

Come.

You stole my money, and you're still enjoying a movie?

- Take your hands off. - Which branch?

He is aggressive.

With so many branches for your scam,

it's hard to know which one I invested in.

What are you examining in his mouth?

He's telling us off.

- Which branch? - Anna Nagar branch, Sir.

He has been investing for four years.

Through Agent Arjun.

A father with one child?

He is the one.

He will be ending his life the day after tomorrow, right?

Correct, Sir.

Have his final note prepared.

- Confirm there are no flaws. - Alright, Sir.

Thanks to them, some random dogs are barking at me.

Threatening me?

You can't scare me with such things.

Return my money.

You want your money?

You are the first guy demanding a chit-fund company to return the money.

If I repaid everyone who pleads for money

how could I sustain myself?

Only a fool would demand the return of money lost in gambling.

The one who refunds it is the bigger fool.

Hey...

It's my money earned through my sweat and labour...

and the money I took as a loan.

Return it.

With the loan amount,

purchase gold for your loved ones.

Or else buy a house and pay back in instalments.

Why do you invest in my company?

Longing and greediness!

I hire an actress...

and advertise...

If I promise you that I'll give you a high-yield interest...

you pour your money here fueled by greed.

That makes our con job easier.

Since we were paying you interest for the four years...

we are good people and the company was good.

And once I stopped paying you...

You call this company fraudulent, and we are labelled as frauds.

Hey...

Do you not understand fairness and morality?

Are you here to champion the cause of public money?

You're here to take back your money.

Yet you are promoting fairness and morality.

You will rot in hell.

You're cursing as though you're pure and honourable.

This is not the court for your drama.

Mister...

Your blessing will not make me prosperous.

Your curse won't harm me.

You haven't lost it to find it.

Let go of his arms.

Give me 2 minutes.

I'm a diabetic; need to use the restroom.

My hands are all wet.

Would you like to hear a short story?

Will you only be excited if actors say it at movie events?

Will you not listen to my tale?

Listen, kid.

A hunter intends to catch a monkey.

He cleans a coconut,

carves a hole in it, and places it in the monkey's view.

The monkey notices this...

Hastily inserts all its fingers into the hole.

It intends to scrape the flesh and drink the coconut water.

How can it do it?

It can't.

It's stuck.

Soon after, the monkey begins to panic and make noises.

Its hand would remain trapped there forever.

The monkey doesn't know that it must release the food to pull its hand out.

That is a trap.

And so is this.

Snap back into the real world.

Even if I wish to return your money, I can't.

Is it clear?

Because I have a boss.

Please, give me my money back.

I'll fall at your feet. Please take pity on me.

Return my money.

Or else my life will be ruined.

Or you might force me to commit suicide.

- Please, give me my money back. - What is his investment?

- Rs 96 lakhs. - Just 96 lakhs?

You're begging and threatening over just 96 lakhs.

Yes.

- For me, that's a significant amount. - Can't give it back.

- I can't give it. - That's my life savings.

I've put everything I've got into this.

- My family will end up in the streets. - Hey, do the math...

- you'll figure it out. - Return my money.

Please don't cheat me.

Hey, I'm talking to you.

You will rot in hell.

Return it.

Let me go.

Shakti, think about it.

You're taking on a big player.

Don't take this the wrong way.

You speak as if you're one of Punniyakodi's guys.

As your well-wisher, I want you to understand the repercussions.

I will take care.

Come; take a seat.

Are you feeling better, Sir?

Thanks a lot.

Thanks, ma'am.

What is it?

Have the holes in the ceiling caught your eye?

This house comes with a distinct advantage.

No need to look outside to check for rain.

lie on your back and glance up.

I mean...

There's not enough space to stretch out completely.

How can you...

If I can't stretch out, I'll curl up.

We aren't dead yet,

so that one can stretch and bury us.

How can you be so chill about it?

Life is uncomplicated, sir.

We should live like a donkey

we mustn't dwell on the loads we carry, whether they're dirty or clean clothes.

By staying focused on our work,

we can always enjoy the fortune of peace.

Drop your worries and stay cheerful, Cap.

Are you living a peaceful life?

There's some nasty sewage in everyone's minds.

The stench can't be fully cleared.

Just ignore it and keep moving forward.

We start life crying,

spend it complaining about others,

and end it without peace.

Cleansing results in cleanliness.

Your life mirrors your mind.

Keep worries at bay, sir.

Have some tea.

Brother...

I will be taking my leave.

Thanks a lot.

- You took good care of me. - It's alright.

Give me a minute.

- Sister... - Subbu...

He is about to leave.

- See you. - Thanks.

Pour your heart out, and everything will become clear.

When times are tough, a man first looks for a money lender...

seeks God at last.

You gotta be patient when times are tough.

No one here sees that, do they?

Any idea why we smear ashes(vibuthi) on our forehead?

Do we have to know the reasons for applying the ashes?

Let me share something I know.

We smear three sacred stripes.

One stripe stands for the good and bad deeds of our childhood.

It could be deliberate or accidental.

False pride!

Your actions, whether good or bad, will come back to you.

Have you done the good or the bad one?

Don't stop. Stay with me.

The second stripe...

It is a consequence of your past actions.

Whatever you've done will eventually come back to you, be it good or evil.

That is Karma.

How's life treating you these days?

Good or bad?

The third one...

We're starting to see all of these things.

We take a moment to stop after experiencing all of this.

You'll see nothing when you look around.

In that instant, you'll see that this is just an illusion.

At that precise moment, you'll know.

Either good or bad.

You're obsolete; this is all an illusion.

Realization and actualization will happen.

Are you around 10 to 12 years old?

You sound like you're brimming with wisdom.

You might get greedy at 12, but shouldn't I grow wise?

Did it burn you?

I mean the food.

Hey, sit down.

Hang on, let me finish up.

Sit!

Did I question if your life is scorched?

Your harsh words have hurt your family.

You're in a place to seek help for your ailment.

Can't you see you have no one to vent your anger to?

You're not the only one. There are many out there.

Someone weighed down by debts can't be happy, even in their dreams.

A lone lamp will be put out.

With many lamps, we can use one to light another.

Eat quickly before it gets cold.

Come on, have it.

It's not money you've lost; it's your family.

Realizing your loss is the first step to finding who took it.

Where is he?

I can't watch the soap operas, and I can't hold back from watching them either.

The story doesn't seem to move forward, regardless of how many episodes I watch.

Get to your room.

I don't want anyone leaving their rooms.

I don't have the guts to look you in the eye and talk.

I won't apologize to you.

I'm going to...

...thank everyone.

Dad...

You deserve the first thanks.

I believed...

I was a diamond.

But now I know...

I'm only a carbon chunk.

I've come to understand that I have to bear more pressure and pain.

A fire will leave behind ashes once it burns itself out.

But I...

While berating you, I used all the harsh words I could think of.

Who knows not if their happy lives shall last the day,

in fancies infinite beguile the hours away.

You helped me realize that I haven't really lived for even one day.

Dad...

This one word will do.

When had done to ask if I'd eaten,

I realized mom wasn't just anyone.

What's the first thing you ask me

when I leave the house and return?

Have you eaten yet, son?

When you got me married to her by deceit,

even when I glared at you angrily

or behaved inhumanely,

you smiled and said, 'Whatever I do, it's for your good.'

It just hit me now.

If having a loving heart is essential to sense love,

Mom, you're the epitome of it.

As a toddler,

you were the one who showed me how to walk, my sister.

When I stumbled as a kid over a rock,

you'd get anxious, place me on your lap

and soothe the wound with your saliva.

You would ask me not to cry; then calm me down

and then hit the rock.

I'd smile.

You always comforted me,

but I never was a comforting brother to you.

Shivani!

Actua...

It must be the first time

I'm calling you by your name, right?

Actually.

Truth be told

Can't thank you enough.

Yes, because...

they're my family by blood,

but you...

You put up with me, and that means a lot.

Even before and after marrying you,

money was all I saw.

You thought that I would change eventually,

and I must appreciate that faith.

I may have an education,

I've grown up in a technical sense.

Emotionally...

I couldn't comprehend you.

In tough times, I followed an astrologer's advice,

moved houses,

changed my shirt's colour,

switched my sleeping direction,

and even changed my Gods.

But ultimately,

I didn't change who I was.

Till now...

For all that you've done...

and what you have been doing now...

helping me understand what I missed...

beyond all these...

and help me discover myself

For everyone,

I'm deeply thankful.

Thanks, Mom & Dad.

Truth be told...

Our silence...

is unbearably cruel.

I can't handle it.

I'm completely lost.

- Shakti... - It hurts.

We've got your back.

"Teenage days will pass, and age will catch up with time."

"Yet love transcends time."

"The marriage forged through garlands and knots"

"remains untouched by separation.â€

"If a man is graced with a beautiful and affectionate wife,"

"his life is sheer ecstasy."

"As they exchange laps for sleep and explore sensual pleasure,"

"love is born."

I don't care how you talk to others,

but I need you to speak to me respectfully.

All mistakes did by manager.

I have proof for that.

You underestimated me by seeing me only as a reviewer.

Will you have enough time to drop her off before heading to work?

Yes, that works perfectly.

No problem.

She is not yet here.

Sister...

Why are you rushing her?

- Let her take her time. - Shakti, is that really you?

You're always on your toes,

but now you're tranquil like Buddha.

Sorry for the delay.

Do you really have to work?

How about staying home, as you wish?

I'll take care of things.

If you've adapted, it wouldn't be fair if I didn't.

It's only a year or two.

Eventually, everything will be sorted out.

Till then I will working

- Hello - Greetings, Sir.

The work is coming along perfectly.

What's your preference, tiles or marble?

I'll inform you after I talk it over with my family.

What's up, Shakti?

Off to the office?

- Alright! - The contractor phoned.

He asked me to choose between tiles or marble?

- I said it's up to my dad to decide. - I say 'tiles'

Tell him to obtain several quotes and pick the best value for the price.

I just want it to feel elegant.

Are you discussing the tiles or blessing your son?

One answer will suffice for both. Let God bless him.

Brother-in-law...

Here it.

- Wow! - Son-in-law...

A surprise visit?

- You show up unannounced - All good?

You could have given me a call.

- Hello, Son-in-law. - You have grown taller.

You two look lean.

Welcome.

- Brother-in-law... - Are you fine?

Following your advice, I slogged for six months,

turned off my phone to avoid interruptions, and endured hunger.

- You endured hunger? Seriously? - Stop joking, father-in-law.

You endured hunger? Seriously?

I've got the money. I'll invest in the same place you did...

And get scammed?

That's not a good sign. I'll ensure my family is well taken care of.

Why not put the money in a bank fixed deposit?

Bank gives less interest but private firms give better rates.

And you will lose the principal too.

Will you keep quiet?

Don't greed for higher interest rates.

Greed is akin to a black hole; it engulfs everything.

Right, dad?

Your brother is behaving like an enemy to the anxiety.

Just give me the address, I will check.

That doesn't exist anymore.

That means he shut it down and flew away.

And your money?

You could pursue him on your bike and ask him.

Innocent, brother-in-law.

Who are they?

Will tell you.

We should talk privately.

No matter what, talk here.

The hearing of your case is set for next week.

- I know. - Mr. Gunaseelan wants to talk.

Withdraw the case, Shakti.

Return the case file to me.

We can't oblige.

Let the court decide.

Taking it to the court will cause repercussions.

For whom?

For everyone.

Everyone?

- Your family? - Threatening us?

Not a threat just stating the fact.

Look...

whatsoever, we will deal with it.

Do as you please.

What's your final call?

We won't withdraw the case.

Yes.

One last warning. Are you pulling out of this case or not?

If you don't, you'll run into problems.

We're in public, and everyone is watching.

Let's discuss this at another time. Women are here as well.

They have the audacity to threaten us at our place.

Does this guy freak you out?

No, I'm not. Let's discuss this at another time. Women are here as well.

I'll handle him differently.

It's too sunny, cover him with your dhoti.

You heard him. Let's go in.

Brother-in-law...

we're continuing from which issue here?

This is the continuity of what you were asking.

Phew, my money's secure.

How about striking a deal to get your cashback?

It'll turn things around.

Your issues will be resolved.

Our issues will be resolved.

- But not for others. - Others?

I know change is constant.

You didn't need to change so drastically.

Good God!

I didn't want to live with my memories.

I truly want to be with my husband.

I have to handle his troubles by selling my property.

God will not appear directly.

Instead, he will send us a messenger.

She came as my daughter-in-law...

and now he has become my second daughter.

She's a divine gift to us.

The Angel...

is my daughter-in-law.

"A good wife has infinite love."

"Even the Senjam will play thodi raaga"

"They dwell endlessly in a world of joy."
