With 96 percent, in the 12th standard board exam,

let's welcome on stage, our student, D. Ragavan

to receive a gold medal for securing a centum in Computer Science.

Congrats!

He's my son!

That...

Bro, I want you to tell me exactly what happens there. Got it?

All the best! All the best!

- I'll see you later. - Alright, bye, Monica. I'll see you.

- Anjana. - Hi, Ragavan!

I got a gold medal in Computer Science.

Superb!

I've secured a seat at AGS Engineering College.

Wow!

I'm planning to do my master's in the US.

Lovely!

I'm planning to get a job, a green card, marry and settle there.

I see! Don't forget me after you get married.

Forget you?

You are the one I'm planning to marry!

What do you mean?

I love you, Anjana!

Not just recently,

but since the ninth standard.

I always wanted to propose to you after getting a gold medal.

So, here I am.

See...

Ragavan, I don't think we'll work out.

Why not?

What do I lack?

- Is it my looks? - No, no.

It's not that.

- Forget about it. - Tell me! I want to know.

Ragavan, you're such a wonderful person.

- But... - Hey, Rambo! What kind of girl...

- I like Rambo. - Me?

I like blonde hair.

You two would look

- great if you go blonde. - You like him?

- Really? - Yeah?!

Anjana, he failed in three subjects.

He smokes!

He's a bad boy, Anjana!

Oh!

Actually, I love bad boys.

It would be so cool to have a boyfriend like that while attending college.

I'm sorry, Ragavan.

I'm sure you'll have a successful future.

Forget it, bro.

There are so many girls out there.

We're going to college soon.

We'll find someone there.

Tell me, Anbu.

They always said girls like boys

who are good and studious.

Isn't that an outright lie, then?

It is, bro.

Let's turn into bad boys.

Okay, done.

We'll enter college with swag and a fire name!

There's zero fire in the name "D. Ragavan."

That Ramesh Bopalasamy struts around, calling himself "Rambo."

Why can't I find a cool name?

Wait, wait. Hang on.

D. Ragavan is your boring name.

Just like how she ditched you, let's ditch '"ava" from your name.

Replace it with "o," and you become fire. Let's go!

What is it, dear?

Why am I doing a master's in AI, Dad?

- It's so boring. - Come on, dear.

Shouldn't you embrace futuristic thinking in your life?

Ten years down the line, everything will be AI.

Whatever. Come home for the weekend. Let's start painting our new home.

- Okay, love you, bye, Dad. - Okay, dear. Love you!

- Hi, I'm Gayathri, IT department. - Okay, I'm in IT too.

Oh.

- Are you also in IT? - Hi!

- I'm Vetri. I'm in IT as well. - Hi.

Hi!

- Hi. - You're right.

Now I request our principal, Mr. Mayilvahanan sir,

to address the gathering.

AGS is a donation-free college.

Only those who worked hard in the 12th grade

and secured 95 percent or above can get a seat in this college.

All of you,

who worked hard

and are here after scoring more than 95 percent...

Colleges usually impose restrictions

on girls and boys talking or forming friendships.

But this college has no such rules.

You can talk to each other.

You can be friendly.

Falling in love is allowed too.

Marriage is permitted too.

Because I believe...

college is not just a place to build your career.

It is also a place to build your friendship

and healthy relationships.

All hail the principal!

Coming to the point.

Typically, on Fresher's Day,

colleges talk about their successful alumni.

Because that's the inspiring story.

But I'm not going to do that.

I'm going to talk about one of the biggest failures

to graduate from this college.

You know why?

Why?

Hearing his story

is a cautionary tale

of what not to become.

He entered securing 96 percent.

And left this college with 48 arrears.

That failure is...

Drag, drag, drag, Dragon!

Drag, drag, drag, Dragon!

Hey!

How dare you touch me for looking at the girls, rascal?

Where's Dragon?

Beat everyone up!

Dragon!

Hey, where are you running to?

How is it?

Damn, those curves are killing me!

Idiot. How's the tattoo?

Oh! It's alright.

When are you planning to tattoo my name?

- You wish! - Why not?

I can't remove it if I end up with another girl.

Hey! How dare you?

- You'll break up with me? - No, no. I won't!

If you dare to break up with me...

- I'll kill you! - Hey!

Dragon!

Dragon...

What is it, Pambu?

Guys from other colleges are teasing our girls.

They're attacking Anbu for standing up to them.

And here you are, busy being romantic. Come down, you jerk!

Ragavan... Don't go. You already have enough cases against you.

One more mistake and the principal will surely suspend you.

To hell with that guy!

You know how much my boys mean to me.

Dragon!

Oh, yeah!

- Get lost! - Hey, buddy!

Scoundrel!

Who the hell are you, man?

How dare you beat up our boys?

I'll break your bones.

Hey!

You're crossing the line, man!

Ragavan, this is too much.

I'll inform the higher-ups and get you dismissed!

- Sorry, sir. I mistook you for a student. - Do I look like a student to you?

Really? Getting hit by this guy?

Round him up, boys!

He's toying with the fire extinguisher, bro.

Then snatch it from him.

Making a scene with that?

Caught you now! Give it back to him, boys!

Keep it!

He's trying to escape.

Pick up the pace.

Hurry! Get up!

- Juice. - Have it.

- He's happily drinking juice over there. - Hey, Dragon! They are coming!

Catch him!

Hey!

Hey!

Can't believe a twig like you made us run for our lives!

I'll chop you to bits.

Hey...

- Does it burn? - Hey! It does.

- It burns. It's hot. - It will if you tease girls.

Yes, it burns.

- Hey! - Get lost.

Run, run. Get lost!

"The fundamental points of the..."

Studying even during the culturals? Moron!

He won't spare us at all!

All of you are...

What are you all doing here during class hours?

Get back to your classes.

Hey. I had suspended you.

- Go home. - Okay.

- Hey, wait. - Wait!

Don't act smart!

Sir, we fought too.

You warn us, but suspend him? Why the bias?

I've given him enough warnings.

Let me ask you something. What's your attendance percentage?

- Seventy percent, sir. - His is only two percent.

Do you think he'll excel if I let him in?

He won't even step out of that hostel.

What do you do there anyway?

Sir, he has 43 arrears to clear.

He studies there, sir.

Impossible!

Sir, his future depends

on clearing his arrears in the final semester.

Please understand, sir.

Please!

Okay.

I don't want to spoil his future.

I'll give him one chance.

- I'll lift his suspension. - Thank God!

On one condition, though.

You must attend all classes over the next three months

with 100 percent attendance.

Bunk one class and I won't issue your hall ticket.

- If you're up for this-- - Sir, sir!

How much is forty-three plus five, Anbu?

Forty-eight, bro.

Damn!

No engineer in history has had 48 arrears, right?

- No. - Then let me be the first!

I'm not going to accomplish anything

by following all your conditions and getting this damn degree.

This is all yours!

Bye!

- Hey, don't leave. - Listen to me.

- Hey! - Bugger off!

- Ragavan... - To heck with your rules.

For the first time, I saw someone choose the road to failure.

My dear students...

A degree is the foundation of your life.

If you earn it by studying hard,

you'll have a successful future.

If you're reckless like him...

you might live it up on campus.

But when you step out into the real world,

no one will respect you.

The choice is yours.

- Welcome to the AGS Engineering College. - Excuse me, sir!

If you don't mind,

can you tell me what he's up to now?

As if I don't have better things to do.

Do you think he's living it up in America?

He's probably picking rags on some street.

Here, son.

Enough, Dad.

Wait.

You're going to work. You should look fresh and neat.

- Enough, Mom. - One more bite.

You'll perform better if you eat well.

You're all skeleton already!

Won't they ask you why you aren't prim and proper?

They don't pay me for my hair.

- It's for the brain inside. - Yeah, right!

- Here you go. - Yes.

Dear.

- Yes, Dad. - Your degree certificate...

Why do you ask, Dad?

You're the first in our family to earn a degree.

See the empty frame there?

He's waiting to hang it up.

But you haven't even shown it to us!

I've told you the company has it, and they won't give it now.

Why?

Dad, what's my salary?

Twenty thousand. After deduction, 18,000.

If I switch companies now, I'll earn 30,000 rupees for my talent.

Oh, my! You should switch immediately.

Yes. What does the company do to keep their employees in place?

They come for campus interviews, hire us at a low salary,

make us sign a two-year contract, and keep our certificates.

We gladly accept it, believing we were chosen before leaving college.

- They are wicked! - They really are, Dad!

Ragava?

Switch on the motor, please.

Okay, owner.

It's been 20 years, you still call me "owner."

- I'm used to it, owner! - Don't forget to take your lunch box.

- Wear your helmet. - Sure, Dad.

- Vendor? - Tell me.

I'll take one kg of tomatoes and some curry leaves, please.

Sure. Tomatoes are fresh.

It would have been better if I had never gone with him.

- Wait for me. - Hurry up!

Here you go.

I will get your wicket.

- Welcome, sir. - Pambu!

Why don't you get lost!

Hope you remember the plan for this evening.

Yes!

- Mr. Bunty. - Yes?

- Don't forget the plan for this evening. - Okay.

- It's so hot. - Baby...

- I'm coming, Pambu. - Shall we go to Ooty this weekend?

Ooty?

It would be so much fun with the cool climate there.

I'm totally broke.

- I'll take care of the expenses. - Are you sure?

So, buddy... Is it Pushpa, Reshma, or Karishma?

- Who was that? Dragon? - I'm talking to my girlfriend.

Oh, it's your girlfriend!

Hey, playboy!

- Don't forget about the evening. - Okay!

Hey, are you all out of your minds?

Why are you throwing the cigarette waste on our balcony?

- No, sir! - How dare you accuse me of lying?

- My friends don't smoke. - Don't try to fool me.

- This isn't working. - Please go ahead and talk to the owner.

- He knows about us. - Hey, listen to me.

I'm calling him right away and will get the association involved.

You know you guys must be sent out--

Moron! Throw it in here after you smoke.

Why do you throw it out?

The association is yelling at me.

- Move. - Sorry! Sorry, sorry...

- Don't forget about the evening plans. - You've told me a zillion times!

I remember. Move!

Anbu...

I asked you to increase the internet speed. Did you do it?

Of course. Damn it!

- The people I have to deal with! - That's my boy!

I asked to sweep, but like a lazy person...

Good morning.

Day 69.

Morning. 11:30.

Hello, sister.

One who knows Tamil...

That day didn't you say you don't know Tamil?

Still asking you about an idea for cooking.

Me too.

Move your legs, please.

They're telecasting them fighting for an hour.

All they show is the players eating, sleeping, and so on.

You're watching this all day. Don't you get bored?

This is the only place where they air all the fights without any censorship.

- Oh! - It's started.

Fight more.

More, more. Come on.

Yes, yes.

Such a freak!

Very sunny.

I'll end up tanning like Dad if I go out now.

- Hello? - Yes, baby.

Why are you calling in the middle of class?

- Just like that. What are you doing? - I was watching this reality show.

I'm planning to shoot some reels once the sun sets.

Oh, okay.

Shall we meet tonight?

- Tonight? - Yes.

- Sure. - Okay. Bye!

- Ba... Baby... - What?

Order a 65 biryani for me on Foodie.

Will do.

Baby, wait. Wait.

Also, order mint cigarettes on Instamart. A pack of 20.

- Okay, bye. - Love you, baby.

You followed me

Your piercing gaze struck me deep

My dreams unfolded

Many women came my way Hoping to capture my heart

But it was you I fell for!

Soft breeze swirls around

Lungi lifted, thighs unleashed!

Bro, your 65 biryani and your mint cigarette.

- Thank you. Okay. - Please rate me well.

Here we go. A big bite of 65 biryani. Only for you, friends!

It tastes okay.

First comment.

Yes!

Sir. Office time is over. Please leave.

Oh, shit!

You brought it, right?

Thank God!

Eighteen thousand rupees.

Count it.

Dad, here's my salary.

Eighteen thousand after deductions, Dad.

Are you not even a little bit ashamed?

Why must I be, playboy?

All you do is lie on your back watch reality shows,

shoot reels outside, lie down again shoving a fan up your butt,

extort money from us and lie at home that it's your salary.

- How do you not feel one ounce of shame? - What is this, Anbu?

I'm not stealing your money.

I do pay you back, don't I?

- I'll keep it in the prayer room. - Dad.

Yes.

I've taken life insurance in both of your names.

I must pay 8,000 rupees for it this month, Dad.

Oh.

Here.

Dad...

I've enrolled in an online course to take my career to the next level.

I need 6,000 rupees for it, Dad.

Oh.

- Is that all? - Dad, Dad...

- It's your birthday next month. - Yes.

I made a vow to offer a charity meal at the Kolavizhi Amman temple.

- Good. - I need 4,000 bucks for that.

Here, keep it.

Why do you even give your salary if you're just going to take it back?

- Stop it. - Why?

Who even gives their salary to their parents these days?

Our son is an exception.

His salary isn't the issue.

- It's his work that matters. - Okay. Okay.

Buddy, instead of putting on this drama...

why don't you get a job at Zomato, Uber, or a call center

and actually support your family?

Bunty...

- I can't work for such a cheap salary. - Then what?

I'm an engineering graduate, bro!

- Oh! - I'll only go if it's a high-profile job.

You're an engineer only when you clear those 48 arrears.

Until then, you're only a 12th-grader.

- For you, this job-- - Just stop it.

It's been only two years since I completed college. Why talk about work now?

What's the urgency?

Life is big, dude!

Let's take some time.

- Okay, fine. - Shut your gob, man!

- Hello. - Baby, Ooty...

Pambu, Anbu...

You all sleep in the hall.

I'm coming with my girl tonight. I need the AC room.

You don't pay rent.

You use this house like a motel.

No issues. Live your life happily.

At least, earn something to spend for that girl.

Fair point.

You spend your entire salary on the family.

What will you do for your expenses?

- I'll take the bus... - No, no. Don't.

I've 4,000 left from my salary.

- Here. Keep this. - No need, Dad.

Will that do?

Sorry, baby. I was held up.

Seems like it'll rain heavily today.

- Sister... - Yes, sir.

Clear this and bring me a filter coffee, piping hot.

And give the bill to madam.

Sure, sir.

- Don't you always like cold coffee? - I do.

If we don't go with the season, I'll catch a fever.

Correct.

What is it?

You always say you won't call me during class.

Yet, you called today?

Did you miss me a lot?

I skipped college today.

Why? Are you sick?

- No, I'm okay. - Then?

I got an arranged marriage proposal today.

Dang it!

Does your dad have nothing else to do?

He keeps bringing prospects home!

Isn't this the fifth one?

- Scumbag. - Ragavan!

Fine, I won't call him that again.

So, who was the prospect today?

Deepak.

He's from Coimbatore.

He's a math professor...

- at Delhi University. - Oh!

So, you're an M.E. lecturer, and he's a professor?

This combination is just perfect!

So, what excuse did you use to reject him?

- Did you say he looked too old? - He looks smart.

Did he refuse to live without his parents?

He's okay with that too.

His salary's under a lakh, right?

He earns one lakh twenty thousand.

- He doesn't own a house? - He owns two.

- He doesn't have a car. - He owns an Audi.

Looks like you used all your rejection cards. How'd you do it then?

You're right.

I had no reason to reject him.

Which is why I said I'd think about it.

The coffee is hot, sir. Be careful.

Madam, your bill.

Hey!

What's there to think about?

There is.

There's plenty.

I'm your boyfriend, damn it!

How can you even think of someone else when I'm here?

Don't shout.

You're ditching me,

and you expect me to comfort you instead of losing it?!

Ragavan, sit.

Everyone's staring. It's embarrassing!

Embarrassing?!

You're ditching me to marry another guy.

You're a disgrace!

Disgrace? You're a disgrace!

- It's you who's a disgrace! - How dare you call me that?

You have been sitting at home unemployed for two years.

You're a disgrace!

Then why did you come after this nobody in college?

Go on. Tell me.

Did I propose to you? It was you. You proposed to me!

Yes, I did.

I did come after you like a puppy.

In college, you seemed so cool to me.

I fell madly in love with you.

At that age and with that maturity,

nothing else mattered to me.

But once we graduated,

I saw the reality.

What fricking reality did you see?

That you can be a good lover,

but not the right life partner.

But why?

Because you're a failure, Ragavan!

I'm afraid I'll become a failure like you in the future.

Hey!

We've dated for six years!

Are you calling me a failure just to ditch me?

Hit me.

Hit me as much as you want...

But let me go.

Please!

Keerthi!

Keerthi!

Keerthi, this isn't cold coffee to keep switching with seasons.

It's our love.

I don't want this love, Ragavan. Just leave me.

- Auto? - Keerthi, please.

Ditching someone isn't the right thing to do.

It's wrong.

Yes, it's wrong!

If this one wrong can guarantee a lifetime of happiness,

then it's worth it!

If you dare break up with me...

I'll kill you.

Your 799 bucks t-shirt looks good!

Buddy, she sent me a hi!

I love you!

In a moment You broke my soul apart

Ripped the masterpiece I painted with my heart!

You laughed, but the pain remains Your scars cut deep like chains!

You made the hands that sowed Uproot the love that once flowed!

Were the dreams We dreamt together just lies?

Were all the words You spoke mere disguise?

With tears in my eyes And a pain so sharp...

Ask you now As you tear my heart!

Why did you say You'd stay till death?

Were they just words Empty as breath?

Why did you leave me?

Is your heart made of stone?

Why did you leave me?

I don't understand!

Why did you leave me?

I'm dying inside!

Why did you leave me?

It hurts so deep!

Negative aspects of information technology fundamentals.

While...

I deserve this pain for loving you!

I deserve this ache For holding you near!

I deserve this for trusting you...

For believing your lies Were something true!

I fell into the depths of your eyes...

Like a helpless fly Drawn to light in the skies!

My soul burned and melted away...

It's a goop of love in disarray!

If you leave me My world won't turn!

I'll be alone to crash and burn!

Now I'm lost in the shadows Of endless night!

Through endless time I'll wander through...

Until my soul finds its way to you!

Buddy, he seems furious.

- Try teasing him. - Hey, Dragon.

You said you'd come back with your girlfriend, but you've come alone?

The room's all cold and cozy.

Why are you upset, pal?

Did your girlfriend ditch you or something?

Forget it, buddy.

If I were your girl, I'd have done it long ago.

- Hey, buddy. - Hey! Hey, Dragon.

- Hey, hey. - Let it go.

- Buddy, Dragon. - Hey, buddy!

Hey, Dragon!

Calm down.

What are you doing?!

Why did you leave me?

Is your heart made of stone?

Why did you leave me?

I don't understand!

Why did you leave me?

I'm dying inside!

Why did you leave me?

It hurts so deep!

Why, oh, why did you leave me?

You dug a hole and Buried my heart deep!

Why, oh, why did you leave me?

I'm alive, but what's life without you? A lifeless echo!

- Did he drink and ride? - He wasn't drunk, madam.

Even if he did, he'd remain steady.

But we have no idea how he passed out.

When was the last time you slept?

Since his damn breakup, he's barely slept for three months.

Lack of sleep will definitely make you dizzy.

It's by God's grace you only hurt yourself a little.

What if a bus or lorry was behind you?

Advise him enough so that he'll listen!

Get some sleep.

Next time something like this happens,

stop what you're doing and give your eyes ten minutes of rest.

That's all.

- Nurse? - Okay, doctor.

Look, I'm speaking from my own experience.

Stop ruining yourself this way

and focus on being successful in life.

The right person will find you soon.

Good luck!

Because you're a failure, Ragavan!

Focus on being successful in life.

Anbu...

- Forget her and get some rest, man. - Anbu?

Wake up, all of you!

- What is it? - Man, he woke us up!

I want to be successful as soon as possible.

Alright, you can. Now, sleep.

Hey!

What salary did she say?

One lakh, twenty thousand, right?

I need to find a job that

pays me just a rupee more!

What? You want a job that pays you

- one lakh twenty thousand and one rupee? - Buddy...

It takes a decade in my company to get a salary like that.

My company pays the same for just four years of experience, pal.

You numbskulls!

You're talking about experience to a guy without a degree.

We go through hell and back, with a degree, to earn just 30,000.

You think they're waiting for the Highness to arrive before granting your request?

First, clear your arrears and get your degree,

- then-- - I neither have the time nor the interest!

I want to become successful right now.

Alright!

Close your eyes, dream away as you wish,

and success will just come in a song.

Guys, let's sleep.

- Hey, catch... - Catch it!

That was an easy catch!

Why didn't you catch it?

- Bro, sorry. - It's okay.

Bro...

I'm new to this area and I love cricket. Can I join?

No, bro. The team is already full.

- We'll see next week. - Bro...

- Oh. - You play in my place.

- Go on. - Fine, join us, bro.

- Go on, go on. Bowl. - Superb.

- Superb! - Yeah, nice.

- Superb, bro. - Superb.

Superb, bro.

- Stand there. - Is this okay?

- What is this? - Goutham bro, have a good game.

- That's it. Superb! - What a shot!

- Goutham, what a shot! - That was great.

You're the one, bro.

Goutham bro...

You've been added to our cricket group.

From now on, it's match time every week.

Also, I'll share my location in the group.

Bring the boys home, and we'll party.

- Okay? - Sure, bro.

- Thank you. - Bye, bro.

- Yes, let's party! - Stop making a fool of yourselves, guys.

- Boys! This is my wife, Sherin. - Hi!

These are my friends, I met them on the ground today, babe.

- Hi. - Let's drink?

- Yeah, sure. - At last, bro!

I'll have a whiskey, madam.

- Whiskey is good. Cheers! - Cheers!

- Cheers! - Hey, where are you going?

- What's up with him-- - Chuck him. Let's drink.

- Long drive and a drink... - Pambu... Pambu!

- Funny! - Pambu, tell that story.

- All of them... - Anbu, what will you have?

Honey, I'm tired.

- Alright. - I'll go and sleep.

Good night, baby!

- You guys have fun all night. Okay? - Bro...

- Good night! - In a world full of stubborn wives,

an understanding wife like her is a real gift.

That's alright.

- Here's my glass. - Fine, okay.

Goutham bro...

- Don't get me wrong. - Yeah?

You're living your best life!

- Goutham has great taste. - Buddy...

don't they make the perfect couple?

- Hey! - Don't you want this life?

Yes, bro?

Why is he always alone? Does he have some problem?

The guys told me you had a breakup.

I understand your pain.

But, you have to move on.

She called me to meet casually

and then suddenly called me a failure, broke up with me,

and married someone else.

I don't get it.

It might've been all of a sudden for you,

but she must've decided a long time ago.

Get rid of all this and try to settle down in life.

I too dream of a successful life with a car, house, everything,

just like you.

But to do that, I need my degree.

I must clear all my arrears to do that.

- All that... - Hand me that cigarette.

Pambu... Pambu!

I have 35 arrears.

How did you clear it all?

The hell I did!

How is all of this possible then?

I walked into a consultancy,

and they printed a fake degree and got me a job too.

That's it. My life changed in three years!

Isn't it...

wrong?

It is!

If that one wrong can change your life,

then it's worth making that mistake.

Can I have their contact number?

Ragavan.

You may go.

We can assure you of 100 percent placement.

Take one!

Hey, Ragavan. Come.

Sit.

After getting her degree,

she attempted suicide because she couldn't find a good job.

She joined our two-month training program.

She got a job successfully.

To see her leave happily

fills my heart with joy.

So, Ragavan. How do you know about our company?

Sir, Mr. Goutham referred me.

Which Goutham are you talking about?

Isn't that the guy with 35 arrears?

That fraud referred you?

Guess you must be a fraud as well.

How many do you have?

Forty-eight, sir.

Forty-eight?!

Which college are you from?

AGS Engineering College.

- How did they even admit you? - Sir...

I scored 96 percent in my 12th.

Oh! You're one of those who go all rogue once you get into college?

- Fine, what do you want? - Sir...

I need a job which pays me 1,20,001 rupees every month.

Starting off small?

Can be done.

So, isn't your college a deemed university?

No, it's affiliated with... university.

Listen, we are engaging in fraudulent practices to get a job for you.

- If you get caught... - Sir!

You won't get caught.

There's a 99 percent chance you won't.

In case, you get caught...

To prove that you and I aren't connected in any way,

I want you to pay the bill in cash.

Ten thousand rupees!

- Okay, I'll-- - It's ten lakhs, you blind bat!

- How can I get that big an amount? - Hey.

To print an original certificate in your name,

we must pay two lakhs to our source inside the university.

The process doesn't end there.

You want a high salary,

but you don't want to spend much?

Go, get the money ready. Next!

It's a 20-floor building under construction.

They construct big buildings on weak foundations.

Four to five buildings collapsed this year, right?

- Serve him the piece. - I did. This is your share.

- Dad? - Yes, son.

I found a job with a monthly salary of one lakh.

Dad?

I'm just too shocked to speak.

- Really? A lakh? - Yes, Dad.

I'm really proud of you!

Why are you sharing such good news with a sad face?

Dear, go ward off the evil eye on him!

Wait a minute, dear.

Hey!

Aren't you on a two-year contract with your current employer?

- How will they suddenly relieve you? - That's right.

You're right.

- There's a way, Dad. - What is it, dear?

That contract can be closed with a fine amount.

What's the fine, son?

Ten lakhs, Dad.

No need for all that.

Just keep doing your current job. That's enough for now.

Mom, have you lost it?

Do you know how much of a difference it makes?

Where do you think the money will come from?

- Dear-- - Stay quiet, will you!

Your college fee drained his pocket dry,

along with that Duke bike of yours.

Even your trips and other expenses were on us.

I even pawned my nuptial chain.

Oh, God.

As our only son, we wanted to protect you from struggles,

but you never understood ours.

Why do you keep burdening us with expenses?!

Son...

It's because of missed chances like this that we're stuck in...

this hellhole of a house.

We don't even own it!

Mom, keep your money.

I don't need a single penny from you.

I'll stay here my whole life and...

- rot till the very end! - Son?

Chithra...

Oh, my.

Please eat, dear.

I don't want to.

It's our son who fought with us.

So let it go.

Remember how, for seven years, we spared no God to have him?

Here. Eat.

You're trying to commit fraud, and on top of that, you fought with them?

I pity them.

I'm already pissed, so just shut up.

Be pissed or take a piss, I couldn't care less.

But, let me tell you something.

You're lucky to have such parents.

He's our blessing.

Who else does he have but us?

We'll somehow arrange for the money.

Fine, dear.

But, how?

Would you like some tea, Dhanapal?

- I'm good, sir. - And you, madam?

No, sir.

What's wrong, Dhanapal?

You've already sold all your land for your son's education.

If you sell this last piece too,

won't you lose your final connection to our hometown?

What's more important than my son, sir?

Whatever!

You keep running after him.

I hope he doesn't cut you off in the end.

Here, check the amount.

Son, here's the money you asked for.

Thanks, Dad.

Be careful, son. Keep it safe.

Okay, we'll start the process.

- All these are basics... - Ragavan.

It'll take a week to get your degree certificate.

After which we'll apply to a US-based company called Lateral View.

Because it's the only place that pays over a lakh for freshers.

There are three rounds in total, and the first two are written tests.

My team will clear those written tests for you.

Mark will train you for the proxy interview.

- Mark, train him. - Come, bro.

Come, bro, sit.

Bro, what is a proxy interview?

Simple, bro.

This setup right here is your home now.

From here,

we'll attend the interview through a video call.

From there, when the interviewer asks you questions,

I'll be the one answering.

You just need to confidently sync with my voice on screen.

Since it's tough, I'm going to train you.

- You mean like TikTok lip-syncing? - Yeah, kind of.

Just tell me when the interview is.

Hey, Naveen. I'm waiting for your report.

Sure, sir.

Hello, Ragavan. I'm Vale.

Vice President, Lateral View.

Hello, Vale. Pleased to meet you.

You seem very confident, Ragavan.

I'm very well-prepared.

So, it's showing on my face.

Great! Ragavan...

let me hear you introduce yourself.

I passed out with distinction from my college.

And I'm proud to say...

I'm the first

to have a degree from my family.

Ragavan, I know you're speaking,

but I'm hearing your voice slightly before you actually speak.

Can you come forward a bit?

Please come forward.

Hey, move.

Must be an internet issue.

- Is it okay now? - Yeah.

Slightly better.

So, you've mentioned in your resume that,

your final year project was on the fingerprint voting system.

Can you talk about that?

Yes, sure.

One vote can change the fate of a nation.

So, to prevent cheating during--

Have some water, Ragavan.

So, to prevent cheating during voting...

I created a fingerprint voting system using Python code.

Speaking of cheating,

why don't you show me around your room?

Sure, why not?

- Okay? - Sorry, Ragavan.

There are so many fake interviews these days.

I had to check.

Oh, shucks. Is it?

Oh, yes.

Anyway, coming back to the interview...

Can you write the Python code that you used to

develop the interface of your project?

Yes, sure.

- Good enough? - Yeah.

Good.

Also, you know we are a US-based company.

Are you willing to settle in the US,

leaving your motherland?

I'm willing to leave even my mother!

Because, work is worship.

- You're funny. - My friends say that.

Okay, coming to the last part...

What salary are you expecting?

- Fourteen lakhs per annum. - Sixt--

Sixteen lakhs per annum.

I'll kill you.

Sixteen lakhs?

Why must I pay a fresher so much, Ragavan?

Vale, you're not hiring a human to do your job.

You're hiring a machine that can do the job of five humans!

- I'm impressed. - I know.

Nice, Ragavan.

- I'll send your offer letter. - Oh, wow!

Welcome to Lateral View.

Thank you, Vale.

My buddy!

My sweet little brainiac.

- What, Ragavan? Are you happy? - Sir!

Sir, 16 lakhs!

I'm earning more than her husband!

- Crazy guy. - You've changed my life, boss.

- You're my everything! - Getting the job isn't the important part.

If you don't perform well, they'll throw you out in a month!

- Correct. - So, learn it.

Learn your job well. All the best!

This is your place. Team, this is Ragavan.

Let's welcome him, and make him feel comfortable. Okay?

- Hi! - Hi!

It's the rise of the Dragon!

He's fire, he's fire!

Oh, he's fire, he's fire

Where it starts, none can see

Rise up, rise up Come to me!

Burning high, no end in sight

Come on strong, shine so bright!

Good job. Good job, Ragavan.

Who we are now? We'll never know

Rise up, rise up Let it show!

A name, a place Whispered one day

Look ahead, be alert Come what may

Life's a battle A royal path to stay

But change is coming Watch it sway

Push the edge, ignite the flame

Who will win? Who claims the name?

Drag, drag, drag, Dragon!

Little boy but a demon within

All around, the fun begins

Set the goal, shift the gear Victory's close, it's coming near

Drag, drag, drag, Dragon!

No disguise, the demon's real

All they see is the fiery deal

Marked his map, chose the route Watch him roar, hear him shout!

Please come in, sir.

Do you like it, Dad?

It looks like a palace.

How much does it cost?

It'll be a crore, including the registration, madam.

It's 40 kilometers away from the city,

- and you're asking for a crore? - Mom...

If you get the same house in the city, it would cost four crores.

For us, a crore is a huge amount.

Listen, Ragavan, don't be a spendthrift!

Why do you always complain?

The bank is giving us a loan.

We only need to pay 90 thousand a month,

and it can be paid off in 30 years.

We'll manage with the two and half lakhs I earn.

- No, I don't feel good about this. - Wait, dear.

Won't his wife want to live comfortably when he gets married?

This will work out.

Son, can we start looking for a bride for you,

or are you in love with someone?

Love?

There's no place for such things in my life anymore, Dad.

You find a girl who you think is suitable for me.

Dragon...

Your words gather a crowd to hear

- Your walk sparks joy, they cheer - Dragon!

Jealousy burns, it's hard to bear

Even friends change, beware

- Ragavan? - Yeah?

Can we go out on a date?

Are you in love with me?

Yeah.

I've lost interest in love.

My focus is on work.

Sorry.

Classes rise in chaos Loud and clear

Loss turns to mass, victory's near

We really like this girl, son.

But I don't like her, Dad.

As if you're a Romeo. What's wrong with her?

- Superb! - Superb!

Wow!

- She looks like your ex! - Don't bring up the past!

Life's now more than the royal way

Everything's changed Come what may

Push the edge, ignite the flame

Who will win? Who claims the name?

Employee of the Year award goes to...

Mr. D. Ragavan!

All around, the fun begins

Well done, Ragavan. Congratulations!

Victory's close, it's coming near

Drag, drag, drag, Dragon!

Little boy but a demon within

All around, the fun begins

Marked his map, chose the route Watch him roar, hear him shout!

SIXTIETH BIRTHDAY CEREMONY DHANAPAL CHITHRA

Thank you for coming, sir.

That's alright, Dhanapal.

I expected your son to be like the others,

- but he takes great care of you. - Yes, sir.

My heart feels full.

It was all thanks to your help, sir.

Forget all that.

You've bought a house,

so marriage is next, right?

Have you started searching for a bride?

We're actually searching in matrimony,

but nothing's working out.

Suggest a good match if you know any.

- There's a good prospect. - Oh.

Let me talk to them first.

Step out, Dhanapal! Come, ma'am!

Let's go in, shall we?

You brought us to see a rich man's daughter?

- What if we embarrass them? - I've got it all sorted.

Bring them along, dear boy.

Don't worry, Dad. Let's go.

- Please come in! - Are they here, Grandpa?

They're here, love.

- Don't be shy. - Welcome!

- Sir, meet the groom and his parents. - Welcome!

- Hello, uncle. - Hello.

- Please, come. Make yourself comfortable. - Sit.

You know? He's also from our town near Pattukottai!

He handles more than 40 businesses like Parasuram Steels, cements, etc.

This is his eldest, Pavithra, and her husband.

- Hello. - You're here to see his youngest, Pallavi.

Yeah.

Sir, I think this was a mistake.

We're a simple, humble family.

Please don't downplay yourself, sir.

You brought him up so well that he holds a degree,

earning three lakhs a month!

So please, give yourself some credit!

We're too shy to even speak to you. How can we be equal?

You're worried about our status?

Status, my foot...

My eldest here was married to someone financially equal to us.

He turned out to be a nightmare and soon, they divorced.

This chap standing here used to work at my company.

He's such a great guy, and now they're happily married!

These two are their children.

- Come here, darling Kaira! - Grandpa!

All we want is for Pallavi to marry a well-mannered guy who earns well.

Thenappan told us that you grandly celebrated your father's 60th birthday.

That was what sealed the deal for us!

- If they agree, we can finali-- - Uncle?

Can we meet Pallavi?

Why not?

Pallavi?

Are you there, Pallavi?

Meet Pallavi, my youngest.

You look gorgeous, dear.

Thank you, auntie.

She worked for a while in my company after finishing her MBA in the US.

- But she doesn't want to come back. - Dad!

And wishes to settle there after the wedding.

Oh, my! I too plan on settling there!

Oh.

How about I...

leave you two alone?

No, Dad. This isn't something to close in a day.

I need to know if he ticks certain boxes.

Why don't you take me out on a date tonight?

Okay.

Thank you.

Let's go?

Are you checking me out?

I'd be lying if I denied it.

You genuinely look stunning in this outfit.

Alright, where are we headed?

How about a good restaurant?

Let's go clubbing instead.

We'll drink a little and dance the night away!

Okay.

- One tequila shot. - Sure, madam.

- For you? - I'll pass.

Not a drinker?

I normally drink but I need to drive you back safely.

- Madam, your drink. - Thank you.

Let's dance.

- Let's not? - Oh, come on, let's dance!

Hey...

Hey...

Give me your heels.

Now dance freely.

Sorry, sorry.

Hey, guys, CSK beats RCB!

Thala!

Why do you seem upset?

Don't tell me you're an RCB fan.

But why?!

How can I change teams just because they lose often?

Brother, I am coming.

Have you ever walked with a girl

in the night like this?

In college with Keerthi, of course.

Keerthi?

My ex.

- How long did you date her? - For six years.

Oh, my, that's a long time.

How did you manage to forget her?

I didn't forget her.

She left me and I accepted it. That's it.

Usually, men hide their past relationships

from their to-be-wives.

How are you so open about it?

There's nothing for me to hide.

You asked me and I answered.

Easy.

Won't you ask me the same?

What's the point?

I really like you, Pallavi.

Hello, this is me, Mercy John,

and you're listening to Radio Chennai 92.1 FM!

The weather in Chennai City...

- Checking me out? - Yeah, right, you wish.

We're talking about their favorite honeymoon destinations.

- All the couples... - What's your dream honeymoon destination?

My dream destination...

I... don't have anything in mind.

Wherever we are, we'll be in the room all day anyway.

- Naughty! - I was kidding.

- Your turn. - It has to be a tour around Europe.

I want to stay at least for a month and visit every country!

And then...

As the trip ends, I want to kiss you in front of the Eiffel Tower.

I am very curious to know about your dream destination.

So quickly call me

- Okay, bye. - and tell me about

your favorite honeymoon destination.

Before we continue, this beautiful song is for you.

Hey!

- Yeah? - Tell me if you like me or not!

So I can start looking for another girl if not.

Would I say I wanted to kiss you in front of the Eiffel Tower if I didn't?

I looked up at the endless sky

And then you came Like rain, so rare

You're my path, my guiding star

With you, I know There's nothing to fear

I've found I've found the one for me

I gave I gave my life so free

I've seen I've seen my destined love

I gave I gave all dreams thereof

When I saw you standing near My loneliness began to disappear

Wind whispered love's aching tale But it drifted on

In a land where all hearts unite I take you close, hand in hand

Exploring all corners Let's wander, and seal it with a kiss

In the moment your lips touch mine Your eyes close with love's soft thrill

I'll gather my wishes, one by one And send them soaring to the sun

I looked up at the endless sky

And then you came Like rain, so rare

You're my path, my guiding star

With you, I know There's nothing to fear

In this world where colors blend Let's explore each hidden place

My star, my heart...

Forever with me, side by side

I've found, I've found the one for me

I gave, I gave my life so free

This moment feels like purest bliss Will it stay forever?

I've loved you wholly To the moon and back

Through summer heat or winter's chill Will your love remain?

I stumble, lost In the depth of your love

Like the waterfall's stream Unceasing and free

Forever and always Kiss me the same, from head to toe

My love, from a place so far You came to me, a gift heaven-sent

The days ahead will glow so bright With you beside me, I'll always know

D. Ragavan, son of Mr. Dhanapal and Mrs. Chithra,

and Pallavi, daughter of Mr. Parasuram and Mrs. Sujatha

will get married in the midst of their loved ones

on 22nd January.

Forever with me, side by side

Please help me.

Okay, okay. You can give the rest after tying the knot.

Listen, don't forget to come with your family for dinner tonight.

- Do you light a cigarette at every signal? - Yeah.

See, I don't want to control you.

- For my sake, can you stop-- - Hey, hey...

I was planning to put an end too.

Now that you've asked me...

Some guys will say they'll stop later.

I'm not like them, though.

I'm stopping it right here, right now, for your sake.

- This is my last puff. - So sweet!

- Okay? - Love you.

Me too!

Pallavi, I'll call you later.

- My boss is on the line. - Okay, bye!

- Hello? - Ragavan, why aren't you at work yet?

- On my way, sir. Sorry. - Come soon.

Sir...

I want you out of here in five months.

Leave.

Sir, but... What did I do?

I was performing well. Why am I being sacked out of the blue?

Want to know why?

America is here.

I'm going to promote you to a manager and send you there!

Sir... Thank you!

- Thank you so much! - Congratulations.

- Thanks, sir. - You thoroughly deserve it.

- Congratulations, bro! - Congratulations!

- Thank you so much. - All the best, sir.

- Congratulations, sir! - Thank you. Thanks.

- Congrats, sir. - Thank you, Geetha.

- I'll miss you. - Thanks.

Congrats, Dragon!

Thank you!

Who are you, sir?

Forgot me already?

I'm the principal of your college.

Oh, hey, principal sir!

What brings you here?

- Tell me, dear. - I've sent a guy's profile I like to you.

If you refuse, don’t pester me about getting married for another two years.

By the way, the boy is from your college.

- Run through it and let me know. - Okay, dear.

You mor--

- Follow that car. - We need to go left, sir.

- Do as you're told! - Yes, sir.

CHECK AND LET ME KNOW

- Tell me, Mayilvahanan sir. - Sir...

My daughter has liked Ragavan's matrimonial profile.

- Are you talking about Ragavan Dhanapal? - Yes, that's the one.

You have no clue how highly sought after he is!

He may have the build of a skeleton.

Yet, all the girls seem to want his profile.

And that's when he hit the jackpot!

Parasuram Steels were overjoyed to have their daughter marry him.

What? A rich man's daughter for this fellow?

It's true.

Screw him. I'll find your daughter a better profile.

Where do you think you're going?

To meet Ragavan.

He's on the 14th floor.

How can one become a manager in three years?

- He's lucky, bro. - Had you focused your energy on work

instead of impressing me, you could have achieved what he did.

Dragon...

Apologies for throwing the stub at you.

Hand it to me and I'll throw it away.

Mistakes made unknowingly deserve forgiveness.

Those made willfully...

Meet me in the waiting room in a while.

Sir, why are you really here? What do you want from me?

An answer.

Answer to?

To how you got a well-paying job without a degree.

They prefer talent over education here.

That's how amazing they are.

- Oh, really? - Yes, sir.

There are a few students with many arrears without a job.

Can you find them work over here?

Call your VP. Let me ask him.

Sir.

Go on.

Call him!

Ragavan...

Is everything okay?

Just some marriage issues, sir. Can you give us some privacy?

- Okay. - Thank you, sir.

Sir, forgive me!

I did fake my way through here.

The hard work and effort put in here were all genuine, sir!

My salary in hand is three lakhs.

But almost two lakhs go into clearing debts.

My wedding's in six months. After that, I'll move to the US.

Finally, my life is moving forward with happiness.

Don't spoil it by seeking revenge

for the trouble I caused you back then!

Please, sir.

- I'm ready to fall at your feet! - Hey!

On your feet, and sit.

I could've told the VP

and your future father-in-law that you're a fraud

if it were that easy to ruin you.

That wasn't my intention, though.

Thank you, sir.

But...

you being successful without a degree,

makes those students

who slogged hard to earn good grades

look like complete idiots.

Am I right?

You're right, sir.

A college degree...

is like the foundation of a building.

Only when the foundation's set, will the building remain...

and stand tall!

You know what you did?

You built your life up

without a strong foundation.

And...

One wrong move...

can make it all crumble! Just like your life.

Am I right?

You're right, sir.

What you're going to do is rework on your foundation.

- What do you mean, sir? - You know...

the degree you faked to get...

you'll turn it into reality.

Which means, clearing all your 48 arrears.

Sir...

You've got to be kidding me!

I don't even remember the subject names.

And it's been six years since I finished!

- I don't even know if I'm eligible to. - Don't worry, I'll sort that out.

I'll talk to the board to get you one last attempt at clearing them.

Forty-eight papers in one shot? Impossible, sir!

I have a full-time job, sir.

I can't study at all!

Sir, please! Please spare me!

Office time... right? That made me remember something.

Hall ticket requires full last-semester attendance.

Remember what you answered then?

"I don't want such a degree in that case."

You threw away

your ID card rebelliously and walked away.

Well, that rule applies even now!

You'll come to class, get full attendance like a good boy,

get your hall ticket, and clear them all.

Okay?

Sir...

Why are you doing this to me?

- Sir, please! - It isn't my doing, boy.

This is a second chance I'm giving you to right your wrongs.

No, sir...

- Absolutely not! - That's your call.

See, today's Friday.

On Monday, I will meet you at the admin block at 8:00 a.m.

Else, I'll meet your VP at 11:00 a.m. on the dot.

Okay?

I missed you, man!

I've been promoted to manager

- and I'm flying to the US, uncle. - Proud of you!

Before that, I must compulsorily train

- in Mumbai for three months. - Oh.

With six months left for the wedding,

I didn't want to pass up this massive opportunity.

So, I'm leaving for Mumbai.

As you saw, there's been a lot of marriage issues, sir.

Plus, there's a lot of wedding work to be done.

Can I get three months of work from home, if you don't mind?

Okay.

Wear this. Let's study.

- Chaitanya? - Present, sir.

- Gayathri? - Present, sir.

- Venkat? - Present, sir.

- Vetri? - Absent, sir.

Why hasn't he shown up today?

He's preparing for a campus interview at the hostel.

He's preparing with nine arrears?

Is there any logic to this? Nonsense!

Why do I always meet idiots like him in every batch?

- Hey, isn't that Dragon? - Hey, dude.

- Hey, it's Dragon. - That's Dragon.

- I'm so jealous of you. - Why, sir?

If I get a time machine to travel to the past...

I'll go back to my college.

Those were the best days of my life.

Will it happen? Of course, it won't.

But for you,

you've got it all without a time machine.

Shouldn't I be jealous of you?

Hey, haven't we seen him before?

- Hey, it's Dragon, right? - Hey, it's Dragon.

Buddy, what is he doing here?

- It looks like him. - Dragon?!

What is he doing here?

Come on. Let's go.

Sir...

Hey!

- Hey, buddy... - It's Dragon!

It is indeed Dragon.

- Go bring our boss over here. - Okay.

Oh, my. Boss!

Boss!

Sir, how do these students know me?

Oh, that's nothing.

Every year on Freshers' Day,

I show them a picture of you and tell them

not to become like you.

Don't worry.

You can set things right now.

Come.

I worked for twenty years in this college.

But today,

- is my last day. - Sir...

- No, sir. - Please, sir.

I had to quit for health reasons.

In just a week,

a new DSP staff member will be assigned.

- I'll miss you all. - Sir, no, sir.

- Buddy, it's Dragon. - Dragon.

- Sir... - What's he doing in our class?

Sit down, students.

Purushothaman, remember him?

- Dragon! - Dragon!

How could I forget him, sir?

He's the irresponsible, atrocious, reckless...

useless boy of the 2018 batch,

with 48 arrears.

Damn it! What is he doing here now?

Relax, Purushothaman.

Ragavan is a changed man now.

Actually, he has now realized the value of a degree and...

is back in college to clear his 48 arrears.

Dear students.

We've three months to close the final semester.

He's going to join you as a classmate

and study with you.

So, let us give him a warm welcome.

Come on, clap for him!

Oh, God, it's so embarrassing!

Take care, pal.

Get in.

- Could you scooch-- - Hey, stop.

- Why are you sitting on the first bench? - No, sir.

Do you want to ruin the life of a good student?

No, sir, I wanted to focus in class.

I know all about your focus.

Go, sit at the back.

Hey!

Actually, you know what?

I felt sad leaving this college...

just a few minutes ago.

Thank God!

I'm leaving.

God has saved me from seeing your idiotic face every day.

Sit down!

Okay, students.

Let us get back to Hoare's algorithm.

Hoare introduced this algorithm for partitioning arrays using two scans.

- Yes, sir. - Hey!

How are the marriage arrangements going?

It's too stressful, sir.

Is that why you didn't log in?

And left to right...

- I'll do it now, sir. - I've mailed...

a module to you.

Complete it.

- Sir... - It's your US client, right?

And stop...

- Finish it and continue with your work. - Okay, sir.

Brother?

I've never sat in this class. Who wrote my name here?

Move the laptop a bit to see.

LITTLE DRAGON

Boss!

Boss!

Boss... Boss.

Boss! Oh, my.

- Boss, open up. - I won't.

Little Dragon?

Yes, bro.

With you as his inspiration,

he's calling himself "Little Dragon."

Boss, you'll be amazed when you find out who's here!

I wouldn't step out even if Mia Khalifa were here.

Boss, Dragon is here!

Algorithm can informally be given as follows...

Choose the pivotal element from an array.

Generally, the first element...

Search from left to right for the elements.

That is greater than the pivotal element.

Step one...

- Hi, baby. - Yes, Pallavi?

Have you reached Mumbai?

I'm already in Mumbai, Pallavi.

Why are you speaking silently?

Actually, I'm in an office meeting. That's why I can't speak loudly.

- My dear students! - The training here...

- Wish you all a successful life - is harder than I thought.

- and a bright future. - I don't know what to do.

- We'll miss you, sir. - I have a lot of work.

- I don't have time. Can we talk later? - Alright.

Have a good day. I miss you.

My boss. My inspiration!

My God. My guide.

- Is it really you? - Hey, who are you?

Little Dragon!

Superstar.

Little superstar!

Boss. Small boss.

Bhagavathi. Little Bhagavathi.

TTF! Little TTF.

- You are Dragon. - Dragon.

I am Little Dragon!

Why are you sighing, boss?

When the principal trashed you on Freshers' Day,

you looked cool only in my eyes.

If an entire college is talking about just one guy,

imagine how big he must be.

I found out what all you did during my first year.

From my second year, I implemented all of that,

and here I am, standing in front of you as the Little Dragon.

But you're better than me in two things.

First, you loved one girl and were in a relationship with only her.

But I'm not like that.

From situationships to flirtationships,

I'm in multiple ships with different girls.

Because no girl was committed to me.

Hey, Sirisha. What are we?

Vacationship.

We'll be in love only when there's an industrial visit.

Second, you have 48 arrears.

But no matter what I do, I just can't get past nine!

How did you even manage to get 48 arrears, boss?

- You're a legend! Okay, okay. - Stop, stop.

Don't get angry. You must be here for a reason.

Tell me, why are you here?

I came here to clear all my 48 arrears in the next three months.

What a joke, boss!

Boss, don't get angry.

But again, don't joke, boss.

For our stature, we're meant to have arrears,

not clear them.

Alright, go ahead and study.

But before that, tonight-- Boss!

Boss, are you peeing or pooping?

Buddy...

- Dragon... - Boss...

Tell me.

Come to our room now.

I feel like having a drink with you.

- Buddy, I'm busy-- - Boss!

You prick!

Before, you wouldn't leave our room even if we told you to.

- But now that you're rich, - Bro, will you help me, if you're done?

- you've forgotten me! - Boss...

No, no.

In ten minutes, you have to be here.

- If you don't, - Dude...

I'll make a call to your rich father-in-law and,

tell him stories about all your scams!

You scumbag, I've already been caught!

What? You've been caught?

Oh, my God!

So, if you don't clear all those 48 arrears,

you're done for?

Yes, buddy.

So, you're definitely done!

- Hey, don't piss me off. - Boss.

I'm at the college just to satisfy the principal's ego.

I can't clear those just by studying.

I don't know what to do.

Remember the guy who helped you with the fake degree?

Ask him.

Boss!

What the hell do you want?!

Tonight, we're celebrating the union of Dragon and Little Dragon

in a way that will shake the entire hostel. Okay?

Alright, you jerk. Go!

Who was that fool, buddy?

Someone's here calling himself Little Dragon.

It's like seeing myself from six years ago.

He's torturing me!

Was I this bad back then?

You were worse than that.

Oh, my!

I have no idea how I'll survive

the next three months with these morons, buddy.

Hey!

Dragon, my love!

Your drama's practically...

begging for a song!

Shall I sing?

Caught, caught, caught This guy's in a knot

Lord, get your cape It's time to save your guy

Street food's a spell

- A foodie's dharma - Dharma!

Hits your soul

- No escape from karma - Karma...

- Washing powder cleans the dress - Dress!

Same way

- Shut your mouth and your base - Base!

It's a comedy show Not a midlife strife

Strife!

- Crushing a tomato gives you sauce - Sauce!

Take a pause or you'll bear the loss

Loss!

IPL cups?

- We can't get them - Cup...

But here's a lollipop

- Lick away to your heart's content - Content!

He's built for chaos

- Don't shed a tear - Tear!

You were at the top Oh, what a show

Now you're the star of a tragic low!

Look at you now Lost your glow

I sang this song to pull your leg

Caught, caught, caught This guy's in a knot

Lord, get your cape It's time to save your guy

Caught, caught, caught This guy's in a knot

Lord, get your cape It's time to save your guy

Busted!

Cringe!

Wasted!

Spite!

Roasted!

Simp!

Ghosted!

Vibe check!

What's up, Ragavan? Remember me?

I'm in big trouble, sir.

If I don't clear those 48 arrears, my life's over, sir.

You have a connection at the university, right?

Please help me clear those 48 papers and

pass the exams, sir.

Alright, give me some time. I'll see what I can do.

- Thank you. - Wait.

Let him hang up. We won't spare him.

- You should've seen him act all hero-ish - Hero-ish!

- Now he's deflated, not so show-ish - Show-ish!

You flew like a dragon

- Spitting fire all around - All around!

But gravity wins

- You're stuck to the ground! - Ground!

Curdled dreams, beyond repair

Beyond repair!

- Look at him sporting a beard, oh, dear - Oh, dear

All that style, yet nowhere near

Nowhere near

Look at him sunken

- Like a flower in piece - In piece!

- Running around, looking for peace - For peace!

One more push

- And I'll break into pieces! - Into pieces!

I'm a broken spicy DVD now Skips the action, don't ask me how

Don't ask me how

Warden, they're torturing me!

- I'll handle the warden. Come. - Oh, God, what's this?

Sit.

Why are you guys torturing him?

Come to me, buttercup. I'll deal with them.

You were at the top Oh, what a show

Now you're the star of a tragic low!

Booze will make your body loose Haven't you heard?

No need to preach Just shut up, you... all's well!

Caught, caught, caught This guy's in a knot

Lord, get your cape It's time to save your guy

Caught, caught, caught This guy's in a knot

Lord, get your cape It's time to save your guy

What is it, sister?

How's the pre-wedding romance going?

He hasn't paid me any attention since he went to Mumbai.

If he won't give you attention, gather it yourself.

Pardon.

Gather the attention yourself.

Venkat...

Teach me this program, please.

Fish fell right into my trap!

- What? - You...

sent a picture,

but now it's disappeared.

It's a one-time message. So of course, it disappears.

Hey, please. Send it again.

- I can't. - Please, please.

Please...

No means no!

- Please! - Hey, guys, let’s get going.

Aavesham is out, and Fahadh Faasil killed it!

- Please, please, please! - No.

What's up, boss? Who are you begging? Your girl?

Oh, okay.

- Who was it? - That was...

an irritating employee.

It would be great if you could cooperate a little

- send that picture again, won't you? - That's not happening.

- Shilpu, you sit next to me. - Okay.

Hey, Venkat. Come on.

- No, man, I've got to study. - Hey!

Didn't you get placed at Google last semester?

- So, what's with all this? - No, buddy...

Fine, rot in your studies, jerk! Guys, let's go.

- Guys, let's go! - Hey, come.

Please, send it again.

Please.

Please, please.

You ignored my call last night,

but the moment I sent a hot pic, you're calling and begging.

So, is it lust over love for you?

No, I'm full of love.

Really? Then prove it's love over lust for you,

and I'll send the picture.

Tell me, tell me. What should I do?

Show me how much you love me with all your kisses.

Okay.

That's how much you love me?

Where are you going?

It's a free period, so we're off to a movie.

Dear students. I am Keerthi.

I am your new DSP lecturer.

Kindly go back to your seats.

Hey, go back.

Do you want to head out?

If you're the staff, I'll happily step inside.

Not enough.

- Not. Enough! - Ma'am?

- Inside. - Not enough!

Oh, this isn't enough? Let me show you my true love!

It's only now that...

I feel a love stronger than your lust.

Alright, I'll send the picture.

Caught, caught, caught This guy's in a knot

Madam, he's Dragon.

From the 2018 batch.

He's back in college to clear his 48 arrears.

He's sincere but sometimes...

he pulls stunts like this.

I'll handle him, madam.

- Idiot! - No phones in the classroom.

Sit.

When STR said in VTV, "Love isn't something to search for, it finds you and

takes you to the moon and back," I only understand it now.

That noodle-haired beauty is taking me to the moon and back, boss.

I'm telling you

if I don't date that beauty before the final semester ends,

I'm not the Little Dragon anymore.

Boss, stop looking at her like that!

You've got a girlfriend, and she's mine.

Madam?

He's not allowing me to study.

Can I come and sit on the first bench?

Thank you, Madam.

How is it?

In the charm of this beautiful chick...

Hey, go away.

You're always here asking doubts.

Looks like she dozes off in class.

Hey, scoot.

I'm not you to sit at home for two years, unemployed!

You're the disgrace!

You're a failure, Ragavan!

I'm afraid I'll become like you in the future.

So, Hoare conceptualized...

So, students, we'll continue tomorrow. Bye.

Ragavan?

Hey, stop.

- Where are you going? - I want to meet the principal.

You aren't a governor to waltz in as you please.

Wait for ten minutes.

He's in a meeting.

- Hello, sir. - I spoke to my guy from the university.

Superb, sir. Tell me! How much should I pay?

Don't you start!

He's willing to help if it's a few papers.

But for 48, he's saying no, no matter how much you pay.

Please, sir, I'm counting on you for help.

Sir, please figure something out.

There is a way.

- What is it, sir? - Study.

Study hard and pass the exams.

Hey?

You're free to go in.

Come on in, I heard you've got perfect attendance.

- Good. - Sir!

Why did you hire her?

- Who? - My ex, Keerthi!

Keerthi Deepak.

DSP Lecturer.

Is she from your batch?

She's a good kid.

What made her fall for you?

I think she's married to a good guy now. Right?

Did you appoint her just to get back at me?

Stop.

Do you think my job is hiring your exes?

So you know now, right?

Fire her right away, sir.

Hey, she finished her M.E.,

aced her interview, and got hired here.

How can I fire her?

What rights do I have?

Oh.

So, you won't?

Fine, then, I'll leave.

That's your choice, man.

- You know what the consequences will be. - Oh, sir, enough!

Stop blackmailing me, sir.

Why would you rat me out?

I'll tell my uncle and my manager myself. They will understand.

I can't bear your torture anymore, sir.

- Good bye! - Do tell me how it goes.

I'll cross-check it.

Boss, let's go play cricket.

Why are you packing?

Are you leaving the college?

Come on, boss!

Only now the true dragon is coming out.

I was afraid you'd step in and make Keerthi fall for you.

- Thank God. - Hey, I'm already pissed!

- Get out of my sight. - Oh!

Dragon is spitting fire. Let's go. Let's go!

ANBU DARLING

- Hey, Dragon. - Buddy, I just can't.

- I'm coming back to Chennai. - Hey!

Don't even think about coming back.

- I called to tell you something. - What?

Check out the news link posted in our cricket group.

Two employees at the private IT firm YCL were...

arrested for producing forged certificates.

-They were fired by the company and... - I said, move!

-then taken into police custody. - Move!

To prevent such practices, companies are now...

making background checks mandatory.

Hey, did you see?

Bro, if you get caught, it's the end for you.

Just study and clear all those 48 arrears.

- Sir? - Ragavan.

Did you see the news?

I think it's quite likely that our company could face similar frauds.

Let's do a background check.

Again.

What say?

I'll start the process right away.

Okay, sir.

Oh, no!

Hey, baby. Hope your day was great.

Yeah, Pallavi.

Is it Ragavan?

- Yes. - Hand over the phone to me.

Yes, Ragavan. Sorry for the disturbance.

Did you see the news?

When people like us work hard for a degree,

these morons commit forgery

and end up getting arrested.

I've instructed my companies to run background checks.

If any of those jerks get caught,

I won't involve the police. I'll behead them myself.

I just wanted to inform you.

- How can some men do this, baby? - Pallavi.

- Men who do this deserve to be shot. - After a while, I'll...

- Pallavi, I'll call you back. - Okay, baby.

Hey!

What is it? Where are you going?

I want to meet the principal.

He just went out to the staff quarters.

Oh, God!

Boss, why wear that? Take it off too.

Hey!

What is it?

Weren't you planning to tell the truth?

Now you're here half-dressed?

- What happened? - Sir...

I'll stay here and study.

Are my tortures pushing you to

swear at me?

Be honest.

It's an open challenge.

Clear all the 48 arrears, come back,

and then curse me all you like.

I'll bear it all.

Now, go study.

Driver, start the car.

Ragavan?

- I want to talk to you. - Move.

I really need to, please.

Let go of my hand!

I said I need to talk to you.

Hey!

Hit me...

all you want.

But talk to me...

please!

What do you want to say to me?

Sorry.

Sorry?

You left me to marry another guy and now you're sorry?!

Has it become easy for you to say?

You're right.

I assumed...

I'd easily forget about you after the wedding.

I couldn't.

I also couldn't

shake off the guilt I felt

for hurting you.

Now that I married a wonderful person,

I try not to hurt his feelings,

pretending to be happy.

That's it.

We think we can

get away with ease after making a mistake.

It will haunt us forever, eating away our peace.

I spoke to Anbu...

and he told me everything.

Lucky are those who get a second chance, Ragavan.

And you're one of them.

Please clear them all somehow.

I don't have a choice either way.

Thinking of all the papers I have to clear is making me lose it!

You have 35 theory papers and 13 practicals.

You only have to pass them, not ace them with flying colors!

As long you're present for practicals, you'll be good.

And studying the last ten years question papers will help you.

I'll give you the important questions with answers.

It will boost your chances of passing.

Why are you helping me out?

What if you pass your exams

and you marry the girl you like and settle down with her...

then maybe even I won't feel guilty anymore.

Remember how you boasted about your 12th marks?

Put in that same effort in the next two months.

Oh, heart, my dearest heart How I cherish you!

Through every moment You walked beside me

Oh, heart, my dearest heart How I cherish you!

For me, all for me In every tear, you bore the pain

While the rains fall A fiery storm and winds howl through

As it touches my soul It longs for a change to unfold

The gentle breeze seeks the shore Caressing the waves with tender touch

It crawls, inch by inch Until it is cradled in mother's embrace

Oh, heart, my dearest heart How I cherish you!

Through every moment...

Hello?

- Why didn't you-- - I'm at work. I'll call you later.

How I cherish you!

For me, all for me In every tear, you bore the pain

Ma'am?

- Your kolam's amazing! - Sweet.

Look at how she smiles!

Why don't you propose and get rejected?

You dumb duck! Shut up and continue carrying!

Hey...

- Now's your chance to propose to her. - I'm freaking out!

- The least she'll do is yell at you. - Go.

Might as well make use of the loud noise and do it!

- Ma'am... - Louder, boss!

Ma'am!

I...

I...

Way to go!

Idiots.

Throw rockets again and I'll break your face.

- Which college are you all from? - Being a hero, are you?

- I'm scared. - That's what I'll do, you idiot!

Do whatever you want to.

You--

"Hoare's Partition Algorithm.

It is an algorithm for the partition of the given array using two scans.

- Boss! Boss! - One scan is from left to right and..."

We're being beaten up by other college students.

Please come help us!

Go away.

I have to study that 16-mark algorithm in the next 15 minutes.

You're studying even when--

I want to curse him, but I can't!

They taunted Keerthi with paper rockets so I slapped them in anger!

Now they're hitting us, Boss. Come--

- Look, boys! - Boss, they are here.

They must shudder at the sound of our college's name!

You're only here to have fun at the culturals and leave.

That doesn't mean you can cause a row with girls.

How dare he hit us when it was playful teasing?

- I dare you to beat us now! - Slow down.

I could ask him to apologize for starting it.

Apologize to him.

Take this!

- That hit is making my ears ring, dude! - Oh, God!

Think you're a peacemaker

- to solve things between us? - Run away like a boy that you are.

Scram, little boy. Don't try to be an adult!

Read out that algorithm to me.

- Do it! - Do it?

"Hoare introduced this algorithm

for partitioning a given array...

- You! - through the following steps.

Step one. Choose the pivot element from an array, A.

- Why am I getting beaten up? - Step two.

Search from left to right for elements that are greater than the pivot element.

Bash him up, man!

Step three.

When two elements are--

exchange them.

Step four.

- Hey! - When two elements cross,

exchange the pivot element

such that it is in its final place.

Step five.

Return pivot element."

That's it.

That's the algorithm.

Hey. My turn to recite it.

- Let me know if I got it right. - Hey!

Step one. Choose the pivot element from an array.

Perfect!

Step two. Search from left to right

for elements that are greater than the pivot element.

Way to go, boss!

Step...

Step three.

When two elements are found,

exchange them.

You're marvelous, man!

Step four. When two elements cross...

When two elements cross...

When two elements cross...

- cross... - Get here, fellows!

- Like he's going to ace them! - When two elements cross...

- Finish him off! - Do it! Whack him!

Cross...

- Cross... - Exchange the pivot element!

Hold him, nice and tight!

Exchange the pivot element...

such that it is in the final place.

That's my boss!

- Boss... - Get up, all of you!

Step five. Return the pivot element.

-Dragon... - Mess with Dragon, this'll be your fate!

You knocked them out of the park!

- Your swag hasn't changed-- - You!

Swag, my foot.

Drop the swag, hit the books, and walk out with a degree!

Even the dogs won't respect you if you don't.

Boomer alert!

Of course, I'm one when I tell you out of experience.

You know the teacher you're trying to woo?

She's my ex-girlfriend.

I now realize why she left me after looking at you.

Listen to me.

I agree, girls do fall for our swag.

It's only when we have stability that they want to be with us.

I swear.

So, this whole act was for her

and not for me, right?

Fine, I was trying to follow in your footsteps.

Now that you're begging me to study,

how can I not pay heed?

All my cherished days Lost in the rain

The tender raindrops froze Still and silent

Yet, my sky beams with The colors of a rainbow

-Yet, my heart yearns - Your hall ticket.

- Do well. - Thank you, sir.

Where the story began My heart's journey finds its close

I turn into a boat Tossed by the storm's raging winds

A glimpse of the lighthouse

I'll reach the shore where my heart rests!

It's your first arrears exam. You studied well, right?

- Yeah. - All the best.

Thanks.

Oh, heart, my dearest heart

How I cherish you!

Through every moment You walked beside me

Oh, heart, my dearest heart

How I cherish you!

For me, all for me In every tear, you bore the pain

- I'm off to my room, boss. - Finished studying the last unit?

- I'll deal with it in the morning. - Shut up and do it now.

- My eyes are closing! - Dude.

I haven't slept in two months.

Sleep all you want after the last exam. Now finish it!

Looks like you'll really make me get my degree!

Damn it!

"The frequency of signal processing..."

Why's your ex here at this hour?

It's your birthday? Why didn't you tell me?

Whose ex but yours will put in so much effort?

You're a real one, man!

Trying to woo her again, I see.

Happy birthday!

Why the efforts?

I wasn't sure when I'll see you next.

So, I wanted to end this on a good note.

I was planning to invite you to my wedding.

We'll meet then.

Go on, blow them out.

Happy birthday, Dragon!

Happy birthd...

Your girl's on the line for you.

Put her on speaker, please.

Hello?

- Hey, baby! - Hi!

You called on time to wish me? So sweet!

Whose birthday?

- Drop the act, love. - Caught red-handed!

I know you can't lie, so wish me instead.

No, I'm going to wish you in person.

I wish the same as well.

What to do? I'm stuck in Mumbai, though.

I'm at Mumbai Airport, though. Come, pick me up!

Hello?

Shocked?

Stop fooling around, Pallavi.

I'm not, love.

I missed you so much!

So, I thought I'd surprise you in person.

Alright, come soon.

I... I'm busy.

Send me your location and I'll come to you.

Sent it?

I've got work, Pallavi. I can't come.

You're working? Are you serious?

I am.

I'm here for your sake in an unknown city in the middle of the night,

and you're choosing work? How's this fair?

Pallavi, Pallavi...

I really am swamped.

You haven't been the same since you left.

For the past three months, whenever I bring up our wedding

you've never shown interest. Something's wrong!

- Nothing like that, dear. - Nothing, right?

Then, come meet me for five minutes and leave.

Come.

Come!

Pall...

If you don't, I'm calling off the wedding.

I'm asking you one last time.

Are you coming or not?

- I can't, Pallavi... - Let's break up, then!

because I'm in Chennai!

As soon as I finished training, I landed here to surprise you with a gift!

- What? - I'm serious!

I wanted to keep up the suspense but you want to call off the wedding!

And so, I broke the suspense.

- Are you for real? - Yes, love.

I need a ticket to Chennai. Please, it's urgent.

- No... - Sure, let me check.

Yes, please.

- There's a ticket, ma'am. - No!

Thank God! Yes, please.

- Can I have your Aadhar card? - Yeah.

Thank you so much!

Ma'am, boarding has already begun.

You'll need to rush before the gate closes.

Thank you.

Hey, catching a flight back in an hour. Come pick me up at the airport, okay?

Meet you in three hours. See you, bye!

You're royally screwed, boy.

- Where did he go? - Never have I ever seen a liar like you.

You lie like your pants are on fire!

You truly live up to your name.

- I'm nothing when compared-- - Oh, zip it and get up!

Must reach Chennai in three hours. What do I do? What do I do?

What do I do?

Give me your car keys.

Your exam's at 9:00 a.m.!

The round trip takes a total of six hours. Talking to her takes one hour...

I'll be back by then. Give them.

It's not worth the risk.

If I don't, I'll lose everything!

Come along, man?

- Why me? - We still have one unit to go.

Damn, you can drift!

Can I play "Arjunar Villu" from Ghilli now that you're all fired up?

- Can I? Can I? - Shut up and study!

"The Laplace transforms are..."

Didn't you tell her you got her a gift? Don't tell me you're going empty-handed!

Oh, it's him!

Anbu, can you buy Pallavi a gift and come to the airport?

Who the heck is Pallavi?

I have no time to entertain you. It's a life-or-death situation!

Please, I beg of you!

- Hey. - Baby.

Give me five kisses.

- Every kiss of yours is etched... - Hey, playboy!

Enough of etching each other and sleep already!

- Yeah? - Dude, know any gift shops open now?

"Obtained by taking in the..."

Lorry ahead, man!

Careful.

Run, bro, run!

What is this gift?

Be grateful that we got you one at this hour.

The balloons?

Bro?

- Are you Anbu? - That's me.

- Who are you? - I'm...

Little Dragon.

- You're that moron! - That's me.

I'm planning to job hunt in Chennai after I graduate.

If you don't mind, can I crash for a few days with you?

- At our motel? Be my guest. - Thank you, thanks a ton!

I tend to bring girls to the room, though.

Would that be chill with you all?

Hold this for me, will you?

There's already someone using it as a hookup spot...

- and you want to do the same? - Bro, stop! Don't!

I was in a relationship when I was in the US.

He used to lie to me and deceive me

which led to me calling it off.

When I first met you, you were truthful.

Which is why I agreed to marry you.

But now...

it feels wrong.

No, no, it's nothing, Pallavi.

Promise me

that you aren't hiding anything from me.

I promise...

I promise I am not, dear.

Happy birthday!

"Processing plays a key role in generation and detection of DTMF signals."

We've covered everything in this, bro!

Boss!

Sleepy?

- Shall we stop somewhere for tea? - No, no.

- We'll be late for the exam. - Right.

- Alright, you drive in your sleep. - Okay.

Oh, my!

Why's my stomach churning?

Is she your ex or your current girl? How's she everywhere?

Good morning, ma'am!

Boss, my stomach's churning.

You head to the exam hall. I'll run to the bathroom.

- All the best! Bye! - Okay.

- We're ready, though. - How I missed you all! Love you, boys!

- Thanks, Keerthi. - You're right on time!

Here's your hall ticket, ID card, and your pens.

I brought you a shirt. Change your clothes in the bathroom.

- It's your last exam, do well. Okay? - Okay.

All the best!

What now?

It's...

You’ve always been there for me, from the time we dated till now.

For you, I've never...

I now realize

when you broke up with me if I hadn't gotten angry

and promised to clear my arrears,

we wouldn't be in this situation right now.

I'm sorry, Keerthi.

I didn't deserve you.

The exam is going to start.

Write your name and registration number.

Fill it fast.

Boss...

Is the question paper okay?

Great!

Lack of sleep will definitely make you dizzy.

Next time something like this happens,

stop what you're doing and give your eyes ten minutes of rest.

Last one hour!

Ten minutes more.

Hurry up!

Oh, my!

- Time up. - Sir...

My dear students,

we study, work hard, get a degree

and become big in life.

But, he...

took shortcuts and succeeded in life

without studying.

Every shortcut will eventually come to a dead end, won't it?

He also found himself at a similar dead end.

So, he returned to college with the...

aim to make up for his mistakes.

Excuse me, sir?

Did he clear all his 48 arrears in a single attempt?

Ragavan, the VP wants to see you.

Sir, anything urgent?

Everyone at the office has had their background checked.

It's all okay. Except for you.

I thought I'd do it with you.

Which college are you from? Is it AGS?

Which batch?

Batch?

It's... 2018, sir.

Okay. I'll just call them.

- Hello. - Hello...

This is a background verification call from Lateral View.

The student's name is D. Ragavan.

From the 2018 batch.

He graduated from your college, right?

- Sir, wait a minute. - Yeah!

They've called for a background check from Ragavan's office, sir.

- Ragavan... - Sir!

- What? - Sir, he cleared.

Yes.

Ragavan has obtained a degree from our college.

Oh, is it? Okay.

Okay, thank you.

- Why are they denying it? - Sir...

I'm just joking.

It's all good. Verification is done.

Hey!

What happened?

What happened?

Sir, you wouldn't get it even if I explained!

What?

I was in shock.

You know what that rascal did?

The day after he received his degree, he came to see me.

Clear all the 48 arrears, come back,

and then curse me all you like.

I'll bear it all.

What is it?

- Did he bring you along to curse me? - Yes, sir--

Come to my wedding, and bless me, sir.

- What? - You are...

all alone in this room.

So, I thought I'd give you company.

After marriage, you can keep me company.

- Go to bed now. - Hey, hey!

Despite studying in America, you're being very regressive.

Ragavan?

Haven't slept yet? - I'm going, Uncle.

- Go sleep. The wedding's in the morning. - Go!

You!

Pambu, let's put all of our dances from today as reels!

- Welcome, buddy. - Hey, buddy...

- Come, let's all drink! - Not a chance.

Don't get wasted and miss tomorrow's wedding.

Buddy, that Little Dragon took his phone and went elsewhere.

Get him to return. I want to roast him.

I want to roast that prick. I want to!

Hey.

Where are you heading? The boys are looking for you.

What happened?

Boss, remember Venkat from our class?

- That nerd from the first bench. - Yes.

He attempted suicide, by slitting his wrist.

Oh, God!

Nothing happened.

After realizing his error, he went to the hospital

for treatment before calling me.

Why did he take such a drastic step?

He failed in a subject, boss.

He wasn't able to clear it even after re-evaluation.

That's why he did what he did.

All this for just one subject?

Yes, boss. He's an idiot.

Okay, leave it. He lives in Pattinapakkam.

- I'll go see him and return by morning. - Hey!

Aren't you drunk?

Yes, boss.

- I'll come too. - Boss...

You're getting married in the morning.

- I'll go check on him-- - Hey!

I'm coming.

Go straight.

Pull over.

Right here.

We have to start walking from here.

Come on.

Careful, boss.

This is the place.

Hey, do you have any sense?

What if something had happened? Did you think of your mom?

Where is she?

She's gone to Tiruchendur temple to pray for my results.

Is an arrear even a big deal?

If you think this is worth dying for, he should've died 48 times by now.

I lost my job at Google.

Why? Can't you join next semester after clearing it?

You can't join there with a history of arrears.

Alright, drop it.

With your talent, you'll land a better job.

It was my dream to join this company.

Just like him,

I also want to be happy in college,

skip classes,

and...

fall in love!

Remember Gayathri from our class?

- I really like her. - You sly fox!

I had a hunch when she kept asking you doubts.

I've wanted to confess my love to her,

but every time I try,

I think of this house and...

my mother selling fish at the beach.

Then, all my desires fade,

leaving only one thought in my mind.

If I work hard for...

these four years and

get a good job,

won't my life improve?

Seeing the job I fought so hard for...

slip away

because of someone else's mistake

breaks my heart.

I don't get what you're saying.

This is a copy of my DSP re-evaluation papers.

Only the first page of this belongs to me.

The rest aren't mine.

- What is it? - Sir...

Can you help me chase just one paper, sir?

Please, sir. Please.

Please, sir.

Boss, hand it over.

Yes, this doesn't look like your handwriting at all.

Did you let the HOD know?

He told me to complain at the exam center.

Did you?

How can the papers get swapped?

Do you have any proof that this paper isn't yours?

- Sir... - Alright, let's say I believe you.

Even if I start investigating now,

it'll take at least a year to finish the process.

But, the semester is just four months away.

So focus on clearing it then.

You're a bright student, aren't you?

What have I done other than study?

Even if I give it my all,

my life still won't change, will it?

Okay, brother.

I... I'll get going.

Right, boss.

Demons don't descend from above

They rise from The darkness of human actions

Inside the heart The flame of fairness burns

Realizing it the spirit blooms Into its true human form

What are we searching for In this endless quest?

What have we become In the search for truth?

The one who doesn't find it Becomes a demon in disguise

Who am I, dear God!

Answer my cries, my savior!

Who am I, dear Lord!

To soothe my heart Will you come here to me?

Who am I, dear God!

Answer my cries, my savior!

Who am I, dear Lord!

From the silence of my heart Will you rise as the truth I need?

From the tears of the suffering

Those find joy and solace

Grow into demons in the shadows!

Is it right to crush a dream To make mine real?

Tell me, heart! Where does justice lie?

Promise me that you aren't hiding anything from me?

I promise I am not, dear.

Oh, my God!

Who am I, dear God!

To soothe my heart Will you come here to me?

We think we can get away easily after making a mistake.

But, it will haunt us forever, eating away our peace.

Answer my cries, my savior!

You being successful without a degree,

makes those students who slogged hard to earn good grades,

look like complete idiots.

Priest, hand him the nuptial thread.

Get the wedding beats going.

So, no matter how hard I work,

my life won't change, right?

- Do it! - Tie the knot before it's late.

Ragavan?

Dude...

Hey!

Ragavan...

- What is it, son? - Sir...

I didn't clear the DSP paper by studying.

I cleared it by chasing the answer paper.

Sir, my mistake caused...

a bright student to fail the exam.

After losing the job he worked so hard for,

he even tried to take his own life.

Sir, do whatever you want with me,

but please help him get his job back.

Please, sir. Please!

Hey, Ragavan!

What's wrong with you?

Everyone's waiting. What are you up to?

Why are you rambling like this?

Come on, Ragavan. Go.

I'm not rambling, sir.

For the first time in my life, I'm speaking the truth.

Buddy, don't get into this now.

Sir, I didn't join your company using my original certificates.

- I produced fake certificates. - What?!

I lied to get in.

Uncle...

You wanted someone as hardworking as you...

to marry your daughter, right?

I didn't succeed through hard work, uncle.

I pulled it off through fraud.

Pallavi, I gave you my word at the airport that I wasn't lying, right?

I lied to you, Pallavi.

I never went to Mumbai for training.

I was at my college in Vellore, clearing my arrears.

- You! - Calm down, will you?

Dad...

The certificate you eagerly framed at home

is a fake one.

- Why did you do this? - Aunt, don't hit him.

Why did you lie to all of us?

How could you think of doing something like that?

How could you?!

Go on, speak up! Why the hell did you do it?

Did I bring you into this world to be humiliated this way?

Speak up, Ragavan!

How did you turn out to be a lowlife?

I am a lowlife, Mom.

A lowlife who thought he could do whatever it takes to succeed.

Not at the cost of ruining another person, though.

He turned himself in that day...

CHENNAI TRIPLICANE POLICE CLERK

and received a six-month sentence.

By acknowledging his mistake,

that poor topper was able to reclaim the job offer he rightfully earned.

The girl he wanted to marry,

his job, his house, and his car,

slowly went away from him.

His future was completely wrecked.

No one knew where he was or what he was up to after that.

Then two days ago, out of nowhere, I saw him.

- Your order, Harini. - Yes?

Harini?

My daughter. She's upstairs.

How are you doing?

I would've done great if I hadn't come clean.

But the guilt of ruining someone would have cost me my peace.

Now I'm happy, sir.

I thought it was game over after you went to prison.

I thought the same.

Son!

The bank took our house away because we couldn't afford the EMIs.

When we had given up all hope,

it was bhai who let us stay in our old house.

Come. Come in, dear boy.

Chithra! Chithra!

Look, our son's here!

Hurry, get the food ready for him!

Why don’t you freshen up? I'll buy banana leaves to eat in.

Dad?

Yes, my boy?

Honestly, I hurt you the most.

If anyone...

should be mad at me, it’s you.

You can slap me and whack me all you want, Dad.

But please don't suppress your emotions and suffer in silence!

When I was at the starting line of a race as a child,

another child pushed me down just to win.

I still walk with a limp from that injury.

When I knew that my son didn't do the same mistake as that guy,

my heart beamed with pride!

The day you put someone else’s life above your own

and accepted your mistake in front of everyone,

you proved that you're my son!

Don't worry that you lost.

Run the race again.

I've got your back. We'll face it together this time!

Dad...

What...

That was when I turned a new leaf

and realized any job is respectable as long as we do it honestly.

I started out with 8,000 in hand. And now I get 25,000.

You know, I started studying engineering again through correspondence.

I scored 90 percent in the first semester!

I'll get going now, sir. I am getting late for my next delivery.

Do rate me well on the app, sir!

I hope you've forgiven me.

I make an example of this fellow as a failure to all every year.

He may work a menial job,

but he restored my faith in him being successful.

My dear students,

all of us run the race towards success.

Sometimes we lose midway.

Instead of beating yourself up for it,

run the race again. Success awaits you in the end!

In that case, D. Ragavan...

No.

Dragon is one of the most successful students

who passed out of this college.

Dad, some jerk parked their car by our...

I'm that jerk, dear boy.

Sir, what are you doing here?

Sir couldn't find a good match for his daughter, it seems.

Too many fraudsters out there, you know?

- So? - So...

he's here to ask for your hand in marriage for her.

My daughter had already liked your profile on the matrimonial website.

That's when I caught you red-handed.

The other night when you came home to deliver food, I told her,

"Someone who learns from their mistakes and lives truthfully will never fail you."

I told her you're the one for her.

And she agreed!

- Leave, sir. - Hey...

- Hey! - He's come all the--

Zip it, Dad. You've already screwed me over.

- Hey. - You want to screw me all my life?

What did I do to you? No. Leave right away!

Hey. Why don't you meet her? She's an angel!

I don't want your angel or her--

- Whatever, I want you out! - Ragava, don't--

- Son... - Hang on. I'll leave once she comes in.

Dear, he--
