Hey!

Arghhh...

Hey!

I've been told you're the informer.

This is the final hour of your life.

Tonight is the last night for your gang.

We thought you were a loyal dog!

Yes, I am loyal, but to the police.

Get him!

Come on!

Take him down!

Let go of him.

Let him go!

Don't do it.

- Hold on. - Sir?

I don't need the thriller, horror, or murder stories.

Tell me a practical story that explains life

- to this generation. - Practical?

- Sir, please give me a few minutes. - Okay!

Sir,

at Chennai High Court,

a couple waits who once showed what true love is.

Now, they're at the court seeking a divorce,

planning to let go of the life they built for so long.

How are you, Anu?

As you see.

- Did you find a producer? - The script narration is happening.

A deal will be signed by month's end.

All the best.

Thanks!

Please wait a bit, Madam is running late.

Anu, let's go for a tea.

Hey, where do you want to go this weekend?

No matter where we go, we'll end up catching a movie.

So, ask me where we're going before we watch a movie.

Okay, where?

I just want to be with you,

so I don't mind where we go.

- Is that so? - Yes, it is!

Who's here for divorce counselling?

How many sessions are left?

It will take 3 sessions since…

it's a mutual divorce.

I am Divya, the counsellor.

Before starting the session,

this counselling…

isn't meant to accuse each other.

You're not here to decide who's right or wrong,

or to judge each other's character.

Please make this clear.

Go on.

After moving to Chennai, I worked in IT for a year.

My wife too--

She was placed in my company through a campus interview.

We met,

bonded,

and fell in love.

We confessed our love at home, but they rejected it.

We told them we're married,

and they closed their doors on us forever.

So, we started living on our own.

We didn't know why we fought, but we did.

We tried to fix it.

We missed the love we once had, which was gone after marriage.

We brought up the past and…

started resenting each other.

That's why we're here today.

What caused your fights?

Maybe ask what didn't cause it.

If I leave the mug in the bucket after a bath, a fight starts.

If I don't squeeze the toothpaste right, another fight.

If I leave hair after combing, a fight erupts again.

If the dishes or shoes are out of place, we fight.

We fight if I don't hang my shirt right or wash the clothes right!

If I don't sleep on time, there's a fight.

If I take extra time, another fight.

We fight if I don't fold the bed sheet right or

turn off the switch after charging my phone.

We also keep fighting because we're always fighting.

If we dig deep into these fights,

it's his lack of discipline and me repeating everything.

Half my time goes into redoing the same things.

My husband's--

His laziness and careless attitude…

became unbearable for me after marriage.

When we were in love, even big mistakes felt small.

But after marriage,

even the smallest mistake

feels unforgivable, and we fight.

Please, don't accuse each other.

It only complicates things further.

Let's wrap up this session here.

We'll pick this up in the next session, okay?

-'Hello?' -Hello.

'Sir, this is Ravi, the Production Manager.'

'The producer wants you to come at 12 pm for a story narration.'

Can I come tomorrow instead?

'No sir, he's traveling abroad tomorrow.'

'He'll be back in about a month.'

'So, if you come today, we can finalize the story.'

'Sir has set his mind on your story.'

'Hello? Hello, sir, do you hear me?'

'Sir, are you still on the line?'

Let's start, Anbu.

On ECR Road, Chennai,

27-year-old Varun stands alone,

shaking with fear.

With tears in his eyes,

he looks down at the cricket bag in his right hand.

'I'm sorry, Ammu,' he says crying.

He drops the blood-dripping bag into the river and…

lets out a scream of agony.

Why did he kill? Who did he kill?

These are the points where the story begins.

As he searched for a producer every day,

he began despising life itself.

Yes, start.

A couple working in an IT company, deeply in love,

decide to have an inter-caste marriage.

As a result, both their families disown them.

What is an inter-caste marriage?

It's a cross-caste marriage, sir.

Why do you mix politics with love?

Sir…

love itself has become political these days.

Sir, just a minute.

As if he can make a difference. Foolish moron!

- Did you find a producer, son? - I'm still searching, mom.

- When are you going to make me a heroine? - Aren't you already one, mom?

Bless me always.

My blessings are with you forever.

Here's your coffee without sugar, mom.

Brother.

Dear…

Are you walking in a fashion parade or something?

You're married now. Keep that in mind.

Wear a saree when you're at home.

Niranja, why are you controlling her when she's just at home?

Hey, why are you acting like this?

Get lost!

We must always keep women beneath us,

only then can we control them.

- Hey, Niranja! - Mom, just stay quiet.

- Yes, Santhanam sir. - Anbu, how are you?

I'm fine, sir. How about you?

I'm good. Everything's going great, all thanks to your support!

So, how is everything? Have you found a producer?

- The script narrations are happening. - My heartfelt congratulations!

- You are destined for great heights. - Thanks, sir!

I called you because,

remember the love portions of our film?

I need a scene written for that.

I know this is your specialty. That's why I called for help.

Err... I'm sorry, sir.

Don't worry about the payment, we'll sort it out as you please.

I'll share the situation to you over a voice note.

Hey, what if your family rejects our love?

- They won't. - But what if they do?

Why are you so negative about this?

I'm not being negative, it was just a practical question.

Answer me.

I can't decide.

If your family finds out about our love,

pressures you into marrying someone of their choice,

and bans you from coming to Chennai, what would you do?

They wouldn't do any of that.

What if…

your family says no to marrying me?

What would you do?

I'll just say, We've already registered our marriage.

So, if you don't approve, I'm saving on the wedding expenses.

Look, Ammu, I want to spend my life with you.

Whoever stands in our way, it's goodbye to them.

Fine, it's time. You need to start work, so leave.

Hey, can you stay a bit longer?

Why don't you just come home with me?

Are you trying to get me beaten up?

I'd rather deal with my Team Lead.

Alright then, I'm leaving, okay?

I love you…

Love you too!

- Okay, go safe. - I'll get going, bye!

- Bye. - Bye!

Hello! My parents have put me under house arrest.

They're telling me I can't go back to Chennai!

I don't know what to do.

What do you mean?

You want to be with me, don't you?

I'll come over, and we can talk.

No, don't come here

They have filed a police complaint

If you come here, it will be a problem

- Hello? Balu, can you hear me? - Yes, I can.

- Hello? - I can hear you.

Anu, why don't you come to Chennai first?

After that, we'll sort everything out.

- What are you doing in there? Come out! - Mom…

'So, you don't want us anymore, right?'

'You chose him over us?!'

'Don't come running to us, even if we're no more.'

'We're through with you!'

'I'm ashamed I ever gave birth to you.'

'You've made us lose everything,'

'and this won't go unanswered.'

'They say some love stories are not about love, but lust.'

'Yours is one of those, and you'll be seeking a divorce soon.'

- Where would you like to go, Madam? - To my in-laws' home.

You definitely don't seem married to me.

Well, I plan to. So, here I am, on my way.

Then, let me drop you off myself. Let's go.

Sure, but they might beat us both up.

You're okay with that?

Well, what day is it today?

- It's Sunday. - Oh!

Oh, that!

On Sundays, I avoid violence.

So let's go to our home instead of your in-laws'.

Is that so?

Come.

Listen, Anu.

Even if we live under the same roof, we'll live as friends.

Until I make a movie and…

we settle down as a couple,

let's not have babies or any major commitments.

Are you okay with this?

I had no idea that…

he'll get lost in the cinema where he went to find himself.

What if I take a 2-year career break,

and try my hand at directing cinema?

If that gives you happiness,

just do it.

Then you shouldn't regret not trying it in your life.

Is it financially okay for you?

We can reduce our expenses.

Everyone's going to mock me for living off my wife's money.

Listen, the ones who talk like that…

aren't going to lend you money saying, 'Don't use your wife's, use mine.'

Just ignore them.

People are going to talk,

but it's up to us whether we listen or not.

What would I have done without you?

Are you saying the dialogues you wrote for your movies to me?

Not just the dialogue, but some love scenes too!

Just come!

"Our marriage story…"

"Our marriage story!"

I was reading.

- I think I'm getting a fever. - Huh?

- Alright then, go take your tablets. - But I came here to get one!

I don't get it.

Give me a kiss!

Oh, so this is the tablet you want?

This tablet is perfect for love fever.

Well, I guess you don't want one.

Now I feel like I'm catching it too!

Alright!

Told you, I'm catching a fever as well.

It's Paratta!

- Hey, Paratta, what's up? - Bro, I feel like drinking.

But I'm a little short on cash. Can you send me 1000 bucks?

Dude, even I get money from my wife.

Bro, you keep making the same excuses.

I don't even know what job you do.

So, you want to take loans just to drink?

Of course! How else will the government survive?

Cut the call, bro. I'll talk to you later.

At least send me something, man.

'No way! Just hang up.'

Damn, I can't catch a break.

That balcony looks pretty, doesn't it?

Hmm.

- Let go of my arm. - Say something

Take it off!

You're clinging to me like a monkey!

It's so uncomfortable…

Come on!

Can't you be careful?

Idiot!

Are you drunk?

No, Anu.

Remember Pavithra's husband?

He used to drink secretly, thinking it was fun.

But one day, he fell off his bike.

Now he's been jobless for four months.

Because of that, they can't even afford their kids' school fees.

She can't find a job in her field because of her career break.

Now, she's stuck doing some random job for a low salary!

On top of that, he's being mocked for living off his wife's earnings.

Fine. I won't drink anymore.

Yeah, don't even think about it.

Ammu... I need to tell you something.

Tell me.

I'll tell you later.

Hey! Just tell me now.

I'll tell you later!

You'll scold me. So, later.

I said, tell me now!

Later!

Hey, stop!

Hey...

Wait!

Why are you doing this?

What will people think?

Hey! It's my girl's shoelace. I don't care what others think.

- Really? - Come on.

- Trying to flatter me? - Yes!

- Ammu... - Yes?

Today's your birthday, right?

Yes.

Can I ask you something?

Go ahead.

Can I have just one beer today?

No!

Please...

No!

- Please! - No!

I've already bought one.

Oh god! Fine, go ahead.

My baby!

Thank you.

But if you call me and ramble at night after drinking…

I'll kill you.

I won't, baby.

Get lost.

Hold it.

Anu...

Can you make me some tea?

Why do you keep wasting money?

We have to enjoy life while we're alive, right?

And after we die, we can't exactly wake up and ask others for burial money.

We need to save at least for that.

Why are you always so negative?

You make me!

Always spending recklessly!

Tell me, Bagesh.

Bro, any acting opportunities?

They're holding auditions for Nithilan sir's next project.

I'll send you the location. You can go visit--

Bro! Get me a cigarette.

My mouth feels empty.

Hey! What happened?

Did you spill all the curry?

I was really looking forward to eating chicken!

Idiot! Can't you be careful?

I… I'm standing here in pain after spilling hot curry all over myself.

Can't you see that?

And all you care about is the chicken?!

It's okay. Forget it.

That should've been the first thing you said.

Move!

Hey.

Hey!

Sorry, there was a delay.

Hand it over.

I enjoy waiting for you.

I'll wonder what dress you'll be wearing and what we'll talk about.

You're not angry that I made you wait?

When I wait… I just think about ways to show you my love.

Really?

Then, I'll come an hour late tomorrow.

Hey!

So, what did you think of today?

I didn't think of anything.

Lies!

Hey...

Even if it's a lie, it's nice to hear, right?

- Shall we go? - Yes.

I'll get going.

Anbu, I missed the cab. Come, drop me.

Hey! Won't your wife do any chores?

Tell her to at least do something.

Okay, Mom. I'll talk to her.

Just because I came to visit, I have to do all the work?

Mom, it's not like that...

What's the point of marriage if you have to do the housework?

Mom, she does when she has time.

Tell her to make time!

This is why I told you not to work in cinema.

You agree with everything she says because you live off her earnings!

Anu...

why don't you help out with the chores a little in the morning?

You know I have office work in the morning.

I handle the chores on weekends.

That's what we agreed on, right?

What's with this new complaint now?

It's just that… my mom is here, right?

Can't you just act like you're helping?

Keep your acting for your cinema, not for our personal life.

No... just until my mom stays.

So where is she planning to go after colouring her hair?

Why don't I just quit my job and stay home to wash dishes?

Let your mom get a job and pay off all the loans!

Or maybe she can clear them with her savings and assets.

Don't be so arrogant!

I'm not arrogant.

I'm just irritated that you still don't understand me.

Alright, go.

I'm getting late for work.

Drive!

Anu!

Hop on. People are staring!

So, your problem is not that I'm mad, but that people are watching?

That's your real problem, isn't it?

What's your problem now?

Why don't you ever understand me?

Fine, I don't understand you.

And what about you? You understand and then blame me?

What is your problem? Are you getting on the bike or not?

I'm not.

Didn't you say you had work to do?

Something did come up.

But when my wife has to walk, my heart hurts.

That's why I came to pick you up.

Shall we go?

Sure!

Get on.

If I could just survive on a scent,

your scent alone would be enough for me to live.

No matter what you say, you're still not getting a kiss!

Oh? Then let go!

I don't want to.

Are you sure?

Do you get it?

Anu, didn't I tell you to take a shower?

I have a cold. I can't shower at night.

You smell of sweat!

Try doing housework at night, then you'll know.

I don't want to know! Just sleep.

How about I put on some perfume?

I said just sleep.

We don't share the same love anymore.

And we don't love each other the way we used to.

Without saying it out loud,

with each passing day,

we resented each other more.

You're always watching TV! Can't you help me?

- Can't you just let me have some peace? - You're always sitting idle!

Are you crazy?

- You don't have to do anything! Just leave! - Stop complaining all the time!

- You want me leave? Okay, I'm leaving! - I'm not complaining--

You keep disturbing me without any manners!

The moment a third person gets involved in a couple's problems,

trust starts to break instantly.

This couple wasn't spared from that foolishness either.

Brother.

Tell me.

Tell Anbu not to drink, brother.

I won't drink.

And I won't let him drink either.

- You're his real guardian, right? - Yes.

Listen to me...

...you don't drink either! You'll ruin your health!

Then I won't talk to you at all.

- Okay, brother. - Okay.

- Bye-bye, brother. - Thank you!

You didn't answer her call?

Tell me, sis.

Don't you have any sense?

He's drinking irresponsibly even after marriage!

Can't you act like an adult?

Sis...

Do you think it's my life's goal to get your husband drunk?

He's here drinking because of a torturous life.

Ohh...

Torturous life or a torturous wife?

Good question.

Wrong person.

It's my bad that I even called you, you idiot.

Booze head!

Right!

"My lover, the blossom of my heart"

"When she becomes a wife"

"Even sorrow starts to feel sweet"

"And my life will be happy"

Bro, please don't sing!

Hey, this is why you shouldn't be friends with young people!

Your wife scolds me like I'm making you drink,

and now you don't even listen to my songs.

Why is it that the happiness we feel in love…

doesn't stay after marriage?

The excitement of dating,

the need to impress her

...those things fade.

She just becomes a wife.

Someone who's always there.

But we can't keep giving gifts all the time, right?

We have other commitments too, don't we?

Hey...

Wife is your first commitment.

You don't need gifts to impress her.

Giving her respect is also love.

Okay, bro, I'll leave.

Did I advice too much?

- Will you get home safe? - Yes, I will.

Drive safe. And don't go home and fight!

We keep fighting over one thing or another, aunty.

I don't know what to do.

Whatever it is, talk to him immediately.

Anbu is a good boy…

but he's also a man, right?

If we don't set things straight from the beginning, we'll lose control later.

Don't compromise on everything.

I'm telling you this for your own good.

I don't know when these fights will ever end, aunty…

Why fight unnecessarily?

Just pack your bags and go to your parents' house.

Men only understand when they're left alone.

Hold back their food and intimacy, and they'll automatically come under control.

Hi Anu.

Hi! sit.

Give me the key.

I'll be at home.

- I'll come later. - Okay, Divya.

If he fights too much,

just scare him with a divorce threat.

He'll shut up immediately.

Okay, Anu, I'll leave now. I'll come by tomorrow.

Why do you keep fighting with your husband and coming here?

Hey!

What's the problem now?

Whatever it is, learn to adjust and move on.

I can't live like that!

You think fighting and coming back here will solve everything?

Try to compromise!

I'm saying this for your own good.

I'm going to stay here for a while.

Yeah, stay here while abandoning your husband.

Meanwhile, he'll find another woman!

If you think leaving men alone will teach them a lesson, you're wrong!

They'll just get used to it.

No matter how much you fight, you should reconcile quickly.

But you were telling Anu the complete opposite!

What are you saying? Are you both the same?

What I gave her was advice.

What I'm telling you is the reality of life.

We don't always have to follow the advice we give others!

- You get it? - Yeah, you're a wicked lady.

You're never going to understand!

It's about a boy and a girl who both grew up on the streets

but made it to IT, sir.

Their dream is to buy their own house.

- It's okay, answer the call. - It's fine, sir.

When they try to get a loan and buy a house, they both lose their jobs.

The rest of the story is about whether they manage to buy the house or not.

I'll let you know, Anbu.

Okay, sir.

Bro, why do you keep calling when I'm declining it?

What, bro?

I'm calling about the auditions, and you're acting all busy?

If someone cuts your call, you shouldn't keep calling.

That's just bad manners.

Why all this formality between us, bro?

Did you attend Nithilan sir's audition?

I went out with my girlfriend, so I couldn't make it.

I'm free now. Can I go now?

They've already gone to shoot! Don't ever call me about auditions--

He's good entertainment.

What's wrong?

My uncle gives good advice,

but she refuses to meet him.

And...

she doesn't want to go to counselling either.

I don't know what to do.

Hey...

if an outsider tries to solve your problems, it's always going to be biased.

Whoever's story connects with them more, they'll take that side.

It'll never be completely fair.

I'll be honest with you.

Only the two of you can find a solution to your problems.

No one else can truly solve someone else's problems.

Then what do I do?

You both need to sit down and talk first.

But before you start pointing out her mistakes,

take a moment to realize yours.

If you can't see them, ask her for it!

Trust me, half your problems will be solved just by that.

That's the best way forward.

Okay?

The days when we used to talk happily are gone.

Now, you don't even like looking at me.

It's not like talking solves anything.

You just drag the fights on.

I've lost my peace of mind.

You only ever care about your peace of mind!

Do you even try to understand the emotions and feelings of others?

Have you ever tried to?

Why should I behave the way others expect me to?

I'm not asking you to change for others.

I'm just asking you to try to understand what people feel.

There's a big difference, Anbu.

If only you got that, maybe we'd actually be happy.

What do you want me to do now?

Tell me.

What do you want me to do?

Do you even realize how much I've given up because of you?

I left my parents.

I missed my onsite offer.

Fine.

Forget all that.

What did we talk about before marriage?

What did you say?

We talked about a lot of things.

What are you referring to?

About having a baby.

What about it?

Think about it.

You tell me.

Anu, instead of just the two of us fighting,

if we have a baby, all three of us can fight together, right?

Life will be even more fun!

We agreed to no commitments until we are successful, remember?

What big expenses will we even have with a baby?

Diapers for the baby.

A packet of milk.

Half a litre in the morning and another in the evening.

Milk, for me.

Feeding nighty, baby net, baby soap, baby oil, a heater for warm water.

A dryer for baby clothes during the rainy season.

Medicine for fever.

A nebulizer mask for a little cold.

An injection in 45 days, and a small pox vaccine in 3 months.

One in 6 months.

And another in 9 months.

One more vaccine after the baby turns 1.

Other than this, polio drops every six months.

Daycare expenses when we both work.

Or a maid's salary if we don't.

First birthday celebrations.

LKG admission at three.

At five, we'll be running around for first standard admission.

Then, for summer coaching.

We'll also have ear piercing, tonsuring ceremony…

Enough! I'm sorry I even brought it up.

What exactly are you trying to say?

I'm saying, before you become a father, you should stop being a boy.

I don't get it.

Come.

We planned no baby for two years, right?

But here we are!

My dates are already off for the past three months.

We planned to live as a family, right?

Not just to keep making plans about it.

'The script is good. I'll let you know.'

Hey, I have to tell you something.

My parents are looking for a groom for me.

So?

It's just that…

if I have to tell them about you,

they'll ask what you're doing, right?

So?

They won't agree if you're not financially stable, right?

Why don't you take up a job until you get a producer?

Don't get angry. Just think about what I said.

Listen...

if you can't wait, go marry a well-settled guy.

Now leave.

Please try to understand what I'm saying!

Don't dump your anger from something else on me, okay?

- My god, don't say anything. - Listen to me-

- Leave! Leave now! - Don't get angry!

Just try to understand what I'm saying.

- Why are you behaving like this? - Get lost!

It's a waste of time trying to explain to you!

I said leave!

Anu…

What's wrong?

Nothing.

I can see it on your face. Tell me. What is it?

I'm worried about Anbu.

He said he’d make a movie in two years.

But it's been three years.

He's very stressed.

I can’t stand seeing him like this.

Find a way to motivate him.

As if.

Every time I talk, we end up arguing.

Hey.

Even our office has a lot of politics.

The cinema field is like an ocean.

How would we know what’s going on there?

We need to see it from his side.

I don't know how to handle this.

Alright. Relax.

I'll take care.

Brother, how are you?

I'm fine, Prasanna.

How are you?

Do you have to ask?

I'm good as always.

So? What is it, Prasanna?

It's nothing.

I heard that you still are not able to find a producer.

Please, don't get dejected.

Just say the word. I'll come there.

- I'll give you a pep talk. - No. It's alright.

Don't feel bad. After all, we are friends.

Don’t bottle up your emotions.

Just pour out everything. You'll feel better.

Got it?

Prasanna…

I'm busy. I'll call you back.

Hang on.

That's how you feel when you are depressed.

Come over here. Let's talk.

I’ll make that depression witch run away from you.

Brother…

After all, we are best friends. We have to help each other.

I'll help you.

Hello? Brother?

Hello? Brother?

Hello? Prasanna?

- Brother. - Hello?

- Brother. - Hello?

- Brother? - I can't hear you.

Anu, we ran out of petrol.

Why the hell did Prasanna call me?

- What happened? - I'm depressed and

that psychiatrist wants to treat me.

You stop talking about me to random morons.

I didn’t say anything wrong, did I?

I just told him that you’re feeling low and still haven’t found a producer.

I'm not feeling low or confused.

Why didn't you check the fuel before leaving?

Look at us walking all the way.

You can’t walk, huh?

Go ahead and book an auto.

We'll reach faster if we go by bike.

But if we walk, I can spend some more time with you.

You don't have to toil with me.

I'll toil only if I'm not with you.

A bit dramatic, isn't it?

No. It's my testimonial.

What's up, man?

Are you free?

Yeah.

I have to meet the producer. But my bike's in the garage.

- Can I borrow yours? - Wait.

Hey, get down.

Take an auto.

Hey…

Auto…

I don't have money with me.

Call me once you reach. I'll wire you the money.

- Are you with your wife? - Yeah.

- But you told me you're free. - Hey…

Listen to me, man. I'll take care.

I'm not her driver to drive her around.

I'm near your place. I'll be there.

- Hang up, man. - Hello?

Here.

Go. Catch an auto and go home.

Why did you leave your wife halfway?

We must always keep women beneath us,

only then can we control them.

- Come on. Let's go. - You'll never change.

Go.

Can I give you an idea to avoid problems in your family?

Are you your wife's cat or dog?

What?

Take a dog.

Feed it once.

It'll wag and come behind you all its life.

You'll be its owner.

But a cat’s different.

It acts like it owns the place.

Even if you take care of it, all your life,

and forget to feed it just once,

- it'll stop respecting you. - It wants to be pampered.

We, men, are like dogs when we are dating.

But they become cats after marriage.

Women, though, are cats before and after marriage.

We have to learn to be dogs.

She is searching for the dog in you.

But you are a cat now.

Trying to understand men is tougher than a dog’s life.

- Anu? - Hmm?

You ready to have a baby?

Only the doctor can answer that.

It's just…

What?

We are financially struggling.

Are you sure about this?

It's too late.

I don't want us to regret this.

I will regret it if we abort the baby.

So…

focus on bringing your cinema baby to life.

Also,

take care of me, too.

We're good.

Don't overthink it.

Alright?

Bye.

For the first time, he found her kiss bitter.

- Hello? - Dear?

I asked for fever tablets. When will you be back?

Hang up.

Irritating.

Hang up.

Call the ambulance.

Lift him.

Niranja?

Niranja?

Hold on. I'll be there.

Need a hand?

Huh? Sister?

It's fine, brother.

Careful. Take it slow.

Careful.

- It's fine, man. - Let me do it.

Want some tea?

- I'm good, man. - No. Have some.

Make some tea.

Tea for him.

I'll be back.

Are you taking your medicines properly?

Hey! Why are you crying now?

Buddy, come on.

Niranja, stop crying.

Did you look at my fate?

You are fine.

It'll be alright.

I've yelled at her so many times.

I called her dumb, waste,

and so many harsh things.

But she’s the one looking after me like she’s got a hundred hands.

Buddy,

stop crying, man.

I told you that women should be beneath us.

But,

we’re not even worth the dust on their soles, man.

She cleans, and wipes after me.

She is the one who kept me alive.

Apologize to me.

Sorry.

Cry your heart out.

I am sorry, Abi.

I didn't marry you to be your slave.

Falling in love and marriage are lifetime commitments.

If you’re not ready to fulfil it, then why bother getting married?

A guy who brags about being alpha can never understand a woman’s heart.

Abi…

Abi…

I am sorry, Abi.

I am very sorry.

- Hello? - Hey…

It's Anu's birthday tomorrow. You remember it, right?

Talk to her directly about whether you want the baby or not.

And don't forget to wish her.

Try to solve your problems.

Got it?

- Yeah. - Want some money?

No, man. I'll manage.

Okay, then.

Tell me, Anbu?

You had earlier mentioned about writing a script, right?

Yes.

If you have a one-liner, please share it with me…

I will write it for you.

Will do.

When will I get it?

Sir…

I will send it by tomorrow morning.

Is it?

You'll get your payment once it's done.

Got it?

Don't worry about the payment at all.

- Alright, sir. - Fine.

Good.

- I'll hang up. - Okay, sir.

Anu…

Anu!

Happy birthday!

Thank you!

You, beauty!

Alright…

Get ready. Aren't you going to the office today?

Okay.

Have to go to the office, right? Get up, then.

Let's talk about the baby in the evening.

Love you!

Love you too!

Anbu, director has read all the ten scenes.

Thanks, sir.

He wants to retain the same in the movie as well.

He has a couple of doubts in those scenes.

Can you drop by the office?

Sure, sir.

I will be there by 10 am.

Okay, Anbu!

Sir… The payment…

Oh yes! I will wire you the money right away, Anbu.

Okay, sir! I will be there soon.

Why is he calling now?

What's up, Paratta?

Bro!

Seems like you have given up on your filmmaking dreams…

to chill with your wife full-time.

Aren't you a lucky chap?

Hey, I've narrated a script.

And, I am waiting for a word from the producer.

It's the same old story you've been telling for years.

Seems like stories like Ponniyin Selvan…

are trending these days.

Must have cost around 5-6 crores, right?

I have a few stories like those too.

I can lend them to you if you want.

You don't have to pay me, you know!

I know that you are living on your wife's salary.

Okay.

- I am busy, we'll talk later. - if you need, you tell me…

But, I am jobless!

So, let's talk now.

Don't act like you are too busy…

Let's talk.

Why don't you speak up?

Hello?

Why did he cut the call?

Tell me, Anbu?

I want to talk to you now.

I am at the office, Anbu.

Come anytime.

Come out, you filthy beggar!

What's up, Anbu?

Welcome.

Let's take it inside. Come!

What was the amount supposed to mean? Just Rs.150?

You just worked for one night, right?

Come inside. Let's talk it out!

I did a month's work in one night.

Cool down! Let's talk!

Don't be so stingy!

Let's talk it out.

Back off, man!

Come inside! Let's deal with it.

Oh wait! The director is here!

Move aside… to the corner.

Hands off me!

- Director is here. Let's talk later. - Leave me alone.

Move, now.

Sir?

Yes? Tell me.

May I know how much you earn?

That's none of your business.

You, back off!

2 crores?

3 crores maybe?

Brother, it would be better if you leave now!

Anbu, what's gotten into you?

You liked all my ten scenes, right?

But you gave only Rs.150?

Bro, let's deal with it later. First, eat here.

- Santhanam, take him inside. - Yes, sir. I will take him.

I did not write that script begging for a meal…

Do you get it now?

This is why you haven't made your film!

Stop fussing and start learning your craft!

A leech like you shouldn't be talking.

Oh, really?

Are you ready to watch me ruin your film career?

Hey! Anbu…Anbu!

Take your hands off his shirt! Anbu…

Leave him now. Anbu, let go of him.

Hey!

Anbu…Leave him now. Listen to me.

Anbu…Anbu! Leave him at once.

Let's talk it out.

Sir, Sorry. I will deal with him.

Santhanam…

- Toss that petty cash right in his face. - Okay, sir. I will do that.

I will deal with it, Sir.

I will give it.

- Who needs your filthy money? - Anbu…

Don't do this.

- Here, take it. - Anbu…

Your useless change.

Anbu! Let's sort this out.

What, bro!

Saw your casting call status.

Is it your film?

No, bro! My friend's.

Bro! You should recommend me.

Will do!

But, attend the audition.

This is what everyone tells.

But no one cares after that. Isn't that right?

Brother!

Give a strong recommendation.

Hey! I guess I have recommended you around 6-7 times?

In the pretext of being an actor…

all you do is try to get close to women…

You, filthy dog!

What happened, bro!?

What's with the attitude?

Oh?

So, if I do favours to you,

you appreciate me.

And if I expose you…

I have an attitude, right?

No,bro. I was trying…

Hey!

Hang up, you moron!

Bro!

Hi!

Hi, bro!

Hi!

Hey, Priya!

Seems like you are reaching the aunty status quite quickly!

Oh, All mothers are aunties!

Don't you dare smile!

Chief!

Seems like someone is high.

Shut up.

Men like you…

don't even mention that you are married, right?

Hey!

No…

You've been married just for five years.

That's why asked out of concern.

Don't take offense.

You'll know if you give birth.

The struggle behind all the medication and pain.

I'll take it from here.

I got this.

Is this how you talk to guests?

How manner less!

What do you want now?

You're free all day, right?

Can't you do the dishes?

Hey!

if you want me to wash, just say it.

Why call me a freeloader instead?

I have been out all day working on a script

Yeah, right!

Where you go…

What you do…

Have you ever told me anything?

Why do you need a wife if you want to live on your own terms?

Hey!

What's your problem?

Guests are here.

Don't make a scene.

Oh?

You don't respect me in the first place.

Who are these people?

Look.

Don't start with your lectures on saving time…

- saving money and all that! - What happened?

Don't restrict me.

What happened, brother?

Do you have to fight on her birthday?

Just chill.

Let's party.

Huh?

Hey!

Don't prove that you are a boy bestie…

by coming in between us.

- Anbu! - Get lost.

Sorry.

What's this bro?

You are talking cheap.

Hey!

Don't you hear me, you freak!

What's this?

Everyone…

please leave.

Let's go, guys!

Please!

When are you planning to change?

Hey.

I will remain the same!

If you don't like it, then leave.

I will get remarried.

You can tell me if you want me to marry someone else…

Ask me to leave!

You didn't love me at all, right?

You don't understand my love at all, right?

You don't want to talk to me, is it?

Anu…

Anu…

Anu…

Anu…

Anu…

Anu…

Why do you both want a divorce?

I…

I myself feel that I am unfit for life.

That day…

during the fight,

our baby…

was aborted.

The though that I had killed my own baby…

makes me feel that I don't deserve her.

That's how I want to punish myself.

If we stay together any longer…

I fear that…

I'll go mad.

That's why.

This decision to divorce.

I accepted her decision to…

…depart.

Anbu?

Anbu…

He slowly tells that as he weeps.

Before divorce…

they decide to meet, sir.

'This house knows…

…all our ups and downs.'

'So, let's meet at the same house,' they decide.

A small argument between them…

leads to him pushing her,

which results in a head injury and she dies.

Does he escape the murder or not?

That's what we show as a thriller.

I'll recommend for a divorce.

"Oh Goddess…"

"Why must you leave me? "

"Your departure"…

"Why did that tear my soul apart? "

"Oh vast skies "

"Can a bird live if the sky disappears? "

"Oh loss…"

"Can a child be born if the mother vanishes? "

"Like a lone flower…"

"this life wilts…"

"Like a fading dusk…"

"Can these weary shoulders… "

"Bear such a heavy burden."

"Oh Goddess! "

"Why must you leave me? "

"You departure…"

"Why did it tear my soul apart? "

"The day we parted…"

"was the day I died "

"Come back, and let me be reborn "

"Your memories drown me in sorrow…"

"Come back, and let me breathe again! "

"Your silence echoes louder than words "

"Your words cut deeper than a blade! "

"Oh heart! How pitiful have you become?"

"This separation has turned you into a battlefield! "

"Oh my other half! My soul mate! "

"Come back to me…"

"Oh Goddess… Oh Goddess! "

"Why must you leave me? "

"Your departure "

"Why did that tear my soul apart? "

Anu…

Come out.

Come, Anu.

She won't.

You can leave.

You don't have to tell me that…

Anu…

Come out, Anu.

She is not in a great mind space.

- You can leave now. - Anu…

Come to me.

With what face do you think you can walk in here?

Just once.

- Don't make me call the police. - Anu!

Come outside, Anu.

Come on.

"Let's revive it! "

Please, Anu.

Forgive me, Anu.

Please!

"Let's unite for our love! "

Anu…

Anu…

You heard her, right?

Now, leave without making a fuss.

I will see you just once and leave.

"Oh Goddess… Why must you leave me? "

"Your departure "

"Why did that tear my soul apart? "

Anu!

Anbu…

How are you?

Sorry, Prasanna.

I sincerely regret what I did the other day.

Oh, come on!

Nothing to be sorry between friends.

All that's under the bridge now.

Can you talk to Anu on my behalf?

I'll talk to her.

Director…

He wants to see you.

Why won't he come?

Sir…Please come.

Hey!

Come. Let's go.

Hello, director!

How are you?

I'm good.

- How about you? - I'm fine.

So, finished your film?

Still trying.

Oh right…love is just politics for you, right?

We can make a film with your idea.

It's a story to be told that…

love is indeed the bigger politics.

Let the world know that through your story.

My daughter…

She eloped with someone…

She got married into another caste.

Everyone told me to uphold 'honor' by killing my daughter.

In fact…

They threatened to kill me.

They warned me that I would be ostracized from my caste.

Caste won't feed us… It's the humanity which will.

Understood?

Well…

you didn't tell me the climax, right?

I will narrate to you tomorrow, sir.

Meet me at my office.

Let's sign an agreement.

Works?

Sure, sir.

Wait…

what's with this beard?

Love failure?

No, sir…

Failed marriage.

Now go…

Beg your wife for forgiveness,

and get back with her.

Remember, if you we don't have our loved ones around us…

even success will taste like failure.

Got it?

Now, go.

Trim your beard and come tomorrow.

This doesn't suit you.

Sure, sir.

Can I get another chance…

to make you love me again?

Why?

Ran out of people to fight with, huh?

There is no love without fight.

In fact, I understood that it's another form of love.

Forgive me, Anu.

All these movie dialogues…

and I'm the one stuck listening?

Not just the dialogues…

but the love scenes too!

CUT!

Take okay!

Pack up!
